Dark Mirror

You promise to give this one a chance.

I'm not promising you nothing.

Come on, Deb.

14 houses so far.

This cannot last forever.

I just know what I like.

Just because you don't mind living in some piece of shit...

I don't want to live in a piece of shit.

Well, thanks to Mommy, you won't have to.

Hmm.

I'm sorry.

Here we are.

You're in for a treat.

It's not listed yet.

The family's out of state.

A famous painter once lived here.

Oh, yeah?

Yes, Rupert Wells.

Maybe you've heard of him.

I wouldn't.

Deb?

Name sounds familiar.

Are you an artist?

I'm a housewife.

Uh, no, no, she's a great photographer.

She just hasn't had time lately.

I can imagine.

Two bedrooms, 13/4 baths.

It needs a little fixing, but it's got some charming features.

Original hardwood floors.

The cut-glass windows

were imported from China, and it's got built-in cabinetry and...

hey, hey, hey!

We're still painting!

Come on, Ian.

Hey, hon.

Uh, we're still painting.

Do you want to see the rest of the house?

It's a little small for the price.

We'll take it.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.

What, you want to move back to Seattle?

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I don't.

We'll make an offer.

Great!

We'll go back to my office and get started on the paperwork.

All right.

No, no, no, I'm not playing.

No, Jim, I'm not playing.

Stop it!

I see you.

Hey!

God, you're such a dick!

What happened?

Nothing, baby.

Your dad just scared me.

I got her good, Bud.

Did you see that weird guy outside?

What guy?

He was out there.

He was... he was watching me.

Hmm, probably just a nosy neighbor.

I'm hungry.

No, he... I'm telling you, he wasn't just passing by.

He was... he was casing the joint.

Hey, we better get some pizza.

I got to get back to the office for a couple of hours.

Oh, tonight?

I'm sorry. I told you.

The weeks leading up to this project launch are gonna be crazy.

"Casing the joint."

Whatever.

I'm going to bed, baby.

Don't stay up too late.

I'll be there soon.

Hey, don't worry.

They're gonna love all your photos.

Good night.

Whoa.

click!

Ow.

Hey.

Have a good day.

You too.

You nervous?

Me too.

But we're tough.

We'll be all right.

You're supposed to agree with me.

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, wow.

Mmm, this is nice.

This is really nice.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Mm.

Special.

It's a great portfolio.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to see a few more product shots.

Yeah.

Sure.

But it's great.

Thanks.

Thank you for stopping by.

So is that it?

Yeah, we can call you if we need anything.

Oh, okay.

- All right? - Yeah, great.

Awesome.

Okay, terrific.

Okay.

Oh!

Yo-ho-ho-ho!

I'm so sorry about that.

I hope you got my good side.

- Really great. - Thank you.

Thank you for coming in. Bye-bye.

Sorry about that.

What the fuck was that? Can you believe her shit?

Use the freakin' focus ring, right?

Goddamn art photos.

Oh, God.

Oh, man, I'd fuck her, though.

Jesus.

That's really disrespectful.

Get the hell out of here.

"Disrespectful."

Shit.

Yes.

Oh, baby.

Thank God.

Hi, I'm Tammy.

Deborah.

Nice to meet you.

I was just finishing up.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to look in on you.

I was just...

That's okay.

I'm a bit of an exhibitionist anyway.

Oh, right on.

You need anything to drink?

No, thank you.

I'm good.

You do yoga?

It looks like you got an okay body.

I run sometimes.

Mmm.

You know, I saw you move in the other day,

and I've been meaning to come over and say hello.

I've just been so busy.

Oh, what do you do?

Well, I'm an actress

and a model.

I also do some singing but not professionally.

Wow, sounds exciting.

Mmm, oh, it is.

So why did you move here?

Oh, my husband got a job offer.

He's a computer programmer.

It's good money.

I just don't get to see him much anymore.

Yeah, yeah.

Wow, computers, huh?

Hmm.

Hey, do you know that lady that lives right across from me,

my next door neighbor?

Oh, God, Mrs. Yoshida?

Has she been watching you?

Yeah, she has.

She's obsessed with your house.

Why?

Well, because of that painter

that used to live there.

What about him?

Was she in love with him or something?

Oh, God, no.

Gross.

It's 'cause he disappeared.

I mean, he and his whole family.

They never found any of 'em.

Yeah, you didn't know that?

Oh, yeah.

Well, it must have happened when she lived there,

I mean, because she watches that place like a hawk.

Come to think about it,

she kind of watches the entire neighborhood,

but, I mean, especially your place.

Does she watch you too?

Oh, yeah, like, all the time.

It doesn't bother you?

Oh, well, I mean, it used to.

But after a while I was like, whatever.

Fuck it.
