EXT. VACATION HOME - NIGHT
The party is in full swing. Alicia and Oliver drive up. They are met by Oliver's friends.
ALICIA
So you did not tell me in honor of whom the party?
OLIVER
It’s in honor of all of us.
They go inside the house.
Alicia meets acquaintances who were drunk not from alcohol. She is nervous. Oliver leads her into the yard.
OLIVER
What happened to you no face?
ALICIA
What's going on here?
OLIVER
Nothing special, just imagine that we celebrate excellent exams.
ALICIA
Oliver, what if the police turn up?
OLIVER
Police? We do not break anything, we behave quietly and peacefully.
ALICIA
Sorry, but I need to leave. I have to go.
OLIVER
Alicia, what are you, everything is just beginning. You miss out the fun.
ALICIA
Well, okay, so be it. I have to go.
Alicia leaves. Oliver is holding her back.
OLIVER
Wait, I will take you to a quiet and secluded place. Just stay there and calm down.
He takes her hand and leads her.
ALICIA
But I am calm, Oliver, I just do not like it here.
They pass through the house and rise to the second floor. Alicia sees many stoned guys, as well as girls who dance completely naked.
ALICIA
What is going on here, Oliver?
OLIVER
Nothing special, just the guys are resting. Sit in this room I'll bring something to drink now.
Oliver disappears behind the door. Alicia stays alone in the room. She tries to open the door, but she was locked outside.
ALICIA
Cannot be, Oliver, what are you doing? Did about this Jackson warn me?
She recheck the door, she is still closed. Then she runs up to the window - it is also closed. She starts to panic.
ALICIA
That's why, Jackson, are you always right? Why do you...
The door opens. Oliver enters. Alicia moves farther away from him and looks for with his eyes for some object for self-defense.
OLIVER
Alicia, it's all right, I won't do you any harm. Do not be scared of me. I locked you in the room so that none of the guests would come to you while I was extracting something the drink.
Alicia just looks at him in dismay.
OLIVER
Alicia, stop, now I'm starting to get nervous. Take a glass, drink and calm down.
Alicia calmed down a bit.
ALICIA
Well, okay, just a little. Give me your drink. Is it whiskey?
OLIVER
With a cola.
ALICIA
It’s great. What I need now.
Alicia calmed down and drinks a lot of whiskey. Very soon she gets drunk. Oliver quietly adds two pills to a glass.
Alicia drinks alcohol, feels bad. She is dizzy.
ALICIA
What is happening to me? This is not like alcohol. Oliver, what is it?
OLIVER
Calm down, it's a little stronger than alcohol. Do not panic.
ALICIA
It seems I really have to go home. I'd rather go.
Alicia heads for the exit.
OLIVER
Well, no, the party shouldn't end like this.
Oliver is angry. He grabs Alicia by the hand and throws her on the bed. Alicia scared. She grabs a lamp from the nightstand, hits him, slightly damaging his temple.
Oliver quickly runs to the door, takes the key and hides it in his pocket. He hears Alicia's startled cry and turns around.
He nowhere not sees Alicia.
OLIVER
What a fuck? What kind of garbage?
Oliver searches the room.
OLIVER
Alicia, come out. If I find you now, it will be worse. You can't do this to me. Come on out and we'll continue our conversation.
Oliver checks the window, it is locked. There is nowhere in Alicia’s room. He finishes his alcohol and smashes his glass against the wall.
Oliver is angry. He looks for Alicia around the house and around the yard. No one knows where Alicia is.
INT. JACKSON'S ROOM - NIGHT
Alicia comes to life and sees a toilet in front of her face.
JACKSON
Alicia, you urgently need to clear your stomach.
Jackson holds her hair.
ALICIA
(with difficulties)
Jackson...
JACKSON
I'll explain everything to you later, but now you have to help yourself get rid of the shit Oliver gave you.
ALICIA
(barely audible)
Leave me, please.
JACKSON
Well, if that, I'll be outside the door.
After a couple of minutes, she comes out of the bathroom and looks around. She is in Jackson's room.
JACKSON
You look terrible.
ALICIA
You're honest as always. Thanks for the truth.
Alicia walks over to the mirror and is horrified by her own appearance.
ALICIA
Oh, you damn. What the heck? For a long time I did not look so awful.
JACKSON
Yes, the party was a success.
ALICIA
I have to thank you for the magical salvation... but let me find out how it all happened? Jackson, how did you do it?
JACKSON
It was just a magical salvation.
ALICIA
I understand. But I did not understand anything. What did you do?
JACKSON
Well, now, that time has come, of which you spoke. It's time to talk about myself.
ALICIA
Okay, talk.
JACKSON
How do you feel? Maybe you better relax?
ALICIA
No, all right, I feel much better.
JACKSON
Ok, then I'll start. Where to begin?
Alicia at this time comfortably settles on his bed. Meanwhile, he goes from corner to corner.
JACKSON
That I am a ghost, I already told you. And if you want, I can prove it.
ALICIA
I am already beginning to understand without proof. Your sudden appearances and disappearances...
JACKSON
Did I pick you up from that party in time?
ALICIA
It’s very on time. How can I thank you?
JACKSON
Well, if you adequately perceive the information that I tell you, it will be just great.
ALICIA
I will try, I promise.
JACKSON
So, I settled on the fact that I am a ghost ... It happened about 25 years ago. I was very young then, and did what I shouldn’t do.
ALICIA
Is this all real? 25 years ago? I will try to understand all this.
JACKSON
Yes, I made one greatest mistake. I fell in love with my friend's girlfriend.
Her name is Elizabeth Green. Don't be surprised, but yes, this is your mother.
Alicia does not understand anything, but she is silent, she does not have the strength to interrupt and to ask something.
JACKSON
And your father was my best friend. We have been friends since very old times. But as a result of a stupid act, I died. Yes. Exactly. Died. But died only the body. After that incident, everyone considered me dead, since nowhere was the remains of my body found. My father went to the police, they searched me everywhere, but they could not find me. The old man was already desperate and stopped going to the police, because there was no sense from them. He was so sad that he didn’t want to talk to anyone. But my mother suffered the most. That grief killed her. Two weeks after my disappearance, she died. Her heart could not stand it. After the funeral of the mother, the father closed himself even more.
He is still so strange. A couple of days after my mother died, I returned to the house. Although more than two weeks have passed, it seemed to me that only a couple of hours had passed. I went into the house it was late, as always I went to the kitchen. Going into the house, I was noisy my father ran out, he thought that the thieves had climbed. But going into the kitchen, he did not see me. I did not understand at first, I thought he was joking. But he was not joking. He really did not see me, but he heard my voice. At first, my father thought he was crazy, since he could hear my voice. But later, my soul, so to speak, became visible. I became visible, and my father told me everything that happened before I appeared in the kitchen.
I got used to everything for a long time. My father asked me not to show myself to other people.
Well, and, of course, no one has seen me for the whole 25 years. And who knew me, they gradually forgot about me. Over time, I learned to control my visible body. Appeared only where no one could know me for sure. Almost completely alone, I spent almost 25 years.
It’s silence. Alicia gets out of bed and slowly approaches Jackson. She looks into his eyes and gently touches his face to his face.
ALICIA
(by hoarse voice from excitement)
So how old are you now?
JACKSON
50 years.
ALICIA
So you're the same age as my father, but you look like his son.
JACKSON
Yes, this story turned out.
ALICIA
My head was spinning. Jackson, is my father guilty of your death?
JACKSON
No, not really, but then it was precisely him who was considered the culprit of my disappearance. I was also guilty of my death. If I were not so stubborn and stupid, it could have ended very differently.
Alicia walks from corner to corner.
ALICIA
So what happened then, 25 years ago? But, do not want to eat, then do not answer. I think that you already accomplished the feat - once you told all this. But why did you tell me all this?
JACKSON
You, like anyone else, should know this.
ALICIA
I have no words.
JACKSON
No need for words.
After a short pause.
JACKSON
Do you want to stay with me today?
ALICIA
Oh, no, I'm sorry, I have to go home.
JACKSON
It's night on the street, and maybe Oliver is watch over you near the house. After all, you are so suddenly disappeared.
Alicia is smiles.
ALICIA
What do you suggest?
JACKSON
I get you home. Give me your hand.
Jackson takes her hand and presses it to her. Alicia is a little nervous at first, but then calms down.
JACKSON
Close your eyes.
Alicia closes her eyes. After two seconds, on her hair winds slightly wind. They dissolve in the air.
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - NIGHT
Alicia and Jackson appear in the air.
JACKSON
Now you can open your eyes.
Alicia opens her eyes and sees his room.
ALICIA
Jackson...
JACKSON
(interrupts her)
This is another ability that came to me after death. I can teleport.
ALICIA
Now I understand everything.
Jackson lets her out of his arms and walks to the window.
JACKSON
See the car across the street? This is Oliver. He watches you. Do not turn on the light. Go to bed right away. And I have to go to my house.
Jackson disappears; Alicia does not even have time to blink an eye.
ALICIA
Jackson... And how can I sleep now?
She falls on her bed from complete impotence, falls asleep in clothes and with makeup.
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - MORNING
Alicia wakes up. She opens her eyes; on the nightstand next to the bed she sees a large glass of water.
ALICIA (VO)
Jackson... Doesn't stop taking care of me.
Grandma enters the room.
MITSURI
Good morning. How did you sleep? I thought you needed a glass of cold water now.
ALICIA
Thanks, Grandma, you read my mind.
MITSURI
Apparently, the party was a success. But I did not hear how and when you came home.
ALICIA
Yes, I tried not to make noise.
Grandma looks at her granddaughter again and leaves the room. Alicia sets herself up in the bathroom, listening to every sound, in the hope that Jackson will come to her.
EXT. IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE CHEMIE MORONI - DAY
Alicia comes to the gate, pulls the handle, but the door does not open. At this time, Chemie Moroni walks through the garden. Alicia tries to draw his attention to himself. But grandpa is not responding to her attempts.
ALICIA
(loud)
Mr. Chemie Moroni, open the door! Is Jackson at home? Why are you silent? Let me in. I know that Jackson is home.
Chemie Moroni hears Alicia speak loudly the name of her son and hurry to her.
CHEMIE MORONI
Get out of here. No Jackson is here. You got the door wrong.
At this time, Jackson leaves the house. Quickly runs up to the gate, opens it, grabs Alicia by the hand and leads into the house.
Alicia and Jackson run into the house. The old man closes the gate and returns to the garden. He's mad.
INT. JACKSON'S ROOM - DAY
They enter the room. Jackson closes the door behind him.
ALICIA
You probably already guessed why I came to you?
JACKSON
Of course I know. You want to know the continuation of the story.
ALICIA
It seems that now everything begins the most interesting.
Alicia looks around Jackson's room.
JACKSON
Alicia, I will ask you a question, you must understand it correctly.
ALICIA
Well, I realized that you will not be bored.
JACKSON
Imagine that you now have the most boring day in life. And you want to go out and go far, far away. Where would you like to go?
ALICIA
Good question... You know, I often thought about it.
Especially often I think about it when I'm at work in London.
When I see the eyes of the always disgruntled boss, he constantly hates everyone. eyes and imagine that I am far from all people, far from my ever angry boss in Peru and wander around Machu-Picchu.
JACKSON
Do you want to be there now?
Alicia is smiles.
JACKSON
Just take my hand and close your eyes... Do not be afraid. I have already experienced this on myself. No side effects were found.
Alicia looks straight into his eyes, walks over and takes his hand. Jackson hugs Alicia and closes his eyes. The breath of the wind blows her hair. They dissolve in the air.
EXT. MACHU-PICCHU - DAY
They appear in the air. Jackson is still hugging Alicia.
JACKSON
Well, now you can finally open your eyes... And let me go.
ALICIA
Jackson, is this not a dream?!
JACKSON
No, Alicia, this is reality.
Alicia walks over to one of the walls and touches her with her hand. She is convinced that this is not a dream.
ALICIA
That's what you did all the 25 years when you were bored.
JACKSON
Almost.
ALICIA
So you visited all corners of the planet?
JACKSON
No, not all. I was not in Antarctica; I decided that it was too cold there.
ALICIA
I would also refuse to go to Antarctica. Let’s go through the territory.
They walk around the neighborhood for several hours, seeing the local sights. Both are happy. The sun is already hiding behind the hills. They are returning home.
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - EVENING
Alicia and Jackson appear in the room.
JACKSON
You need a break. You must be tired.
ALICIA
Jackson, this tiredness has given me so much strength that would be enough for half of my life. I have never seen anything like it before. Thank you so much. You have discovered a new world for me. And now I look at him with completely different eyes. Now I really will have something to tell my grandchildren. But they are unlikely to believe.
JACKSON
This is the least I have to do for you.
She glowed with happiness and did not even notice the disappearance of Jackson.
INT. IN THE RESTAURANT "BIG DIPPER" - DAY
Alicia works with the staff. Grandpa and Grandma are coming.
ALICIA
Well, you can be calm, with your restaurant, everything is in order, and it seems that its popularity among the locals has increased.
MITSURI
Alicia, you're just our savior. Does this mean you will leave us soon?
ALICIA
Yes, now I can safely go home.
JACIE
Why, stay with us.
ALICIA
Maybe I'll stay with you for a while.
MITSURI
We will be very happy.
ALICIA
Father called. He will come the other day with my mother.
MITSURI
With Elizabeth?
ALICIA
Yes, with her.
MITSURI
(Displeased)
Well, we will be very happy.
EXT. IN THE TOWN - EVENING
Alicia returns home after work. She hears a car signal. Turns around, sees Oliver's car along with his friends.
OLIVER
(from the car)
Alicia, where have you disappeared? I've been looking for you for a long time. Need to talk.
ALICIA
Needless to say, Oliver. I think you told me everything at our last meeting.
Oliver gets out of the car and goes to Alicia.
OLIVER
Alicia, I want to talk to you about this. I need to apologize for my behavior.
ALICIA
(boldly)
Need to? Come on.
Oliver hesitated a little.
OLIVER
Sorry. Just forgive me for stupid behavior. Let's go somewhere together.
ALICIA
Well, I forgive you. Please do not disturb me anymore.
Oliver is angry.
OLIVER
What? But I did not want to hear that.
ALICIA
I don't care what you want to hear, just pretend that we are not familiar.
Oliver runs ahead of her, thereby stopping her, not giving the opportunity to go further.
ALICIA
Oliver, what are you doing?
OLIVER
Alicia, why don't you want to see me?
ALICIA
What was not clear from my phrase? Or do I speak an incomprehensible language?
OLIVER
Alicia, don't say that. Why are you doing this to me?
ALICIA
Oliver, let me pass, it is already dark and I am in a hurry to go home.
Oliver retreats. He watches Alicia leave.
EXT. IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE CHEMIE MORONI - MORNING
Alicia goes to Jackson. To her surprise, the old man opens the door for her and lets her into the house.
CHEMIE MORONI
Jackson is at home. Come on in.
She walks to the door, opens Jackson. Alicia boldly enters the house.
JACKSON'S ROOM
Alicia runs into the room.
ALICIA
Good morning. Sorry to be so early, but I could not wait.
JACKSON
Something happened? Does Oliver bothering you?
ALICIA
Well, that too. In fact, I wanted to say that my parents will be here soon. I think you should know about it.
JACKSON
Great I congratulate you. So you go home with them.
ALICIA
I don't know... Wouldn't you like to see them?
JACKSON
You know, not really. I do not think that they will perceive it adequately.
ALICIA
I thought a lot about it, but to be honest, I didn’t think of anything sensible.
JACKSON
So, let everything remain as it was.
ALICIA
I do not know Jackson maybe in the end my parents should know the truth? They, as you said, are also participants in this story.
JACKSON
No, Alicia. I do not want. Let everything remain as it is.
ALICIA
Well, as you know. But if you suddenly change your mind, then you are always welcome in our house.
JACKSON
I'm understood, thank you. Not a good start to the day.
ALICIA
I'm sorry. I really did not think... I'm sorry. I'd rather go.
JACKSON
Wait, it's all right. Do not rush. Let's have breakfast before the end of the morning. What do you prefer for breakfast on Fridays?
INT. OLIVER`S CAR - EVENING
From the car you can see Alicia and Jackson, walking around the city.
Oliver's car is on the side of the road. It has Oliver, MIN DAO and their friends.
MIN DAO
See how quickly she found a replacement for you.
OLIVER
(angry)
Shut up, I'll break your legs.
Oliver gets out of the car and heading to the alley.
EXT. IN THE TOWN - EVENING
Alicia and Jackson are on the road. Oliver meets them.
Alicia and Jackson noticed him and they go slower.
OLIVER
Alicia, so why don't you talk to me? But I could not understand the reason why you are avoiding me? And what is the name of this reason?
ALICIA
Absolutely no desire to talk to you.
JACKSON
Jackson, but we already met, apparently, you have memory problems.
Jackson holds out his hand for dating.
OLIVER
Oh yeah, I remembered. You're the one who was at our party with Alicia.
Oliver extends his hand to greet Jackson, but he squeezes it tightly, which Jackson barely restrains the pain. Oliver does not let go of his hands, showing his physical strength.
OLIVER
It would be much better if you disappeared.
ALICIA
Oliver, stop, just disappear.
JACKSON
If you want to talk, let's do it one by one, without witnesses.
OLIVER
(Menacingly)
I will definitely talk with you, and this will be your last conversation.
Oliver releases Jackson's hand and punches him in the stomach and then in the face. From the blows, Jackson falls to the ground, and Oliver goes to his friends, and they leave.
Alicia leans in fright at Jackson.
ALICIA
How do you?
JACKSON
All is well, it could be worse.
ALICIA
But why you did not teleport to any country, you could easily do it. But you had to endure the beatings from that arrogant turkey.
JACKSON
Yes, teleport to the South Pole and leave you alone with this arrogant turkey?
ALICIA
Well, always innocent people suffer because of me ... And this is an idea, if suddenly he gets in your way again, then teleport him to the North Pole.
JACKSON
No, even for him, this is too cruel a punishment ... Don't worry, a few bruises won't hurt me. But now really need to evacuate from this place.
Jackson inspects the area, and, making sure no one is looking, takes Alicia by the hand, and they dissolve into the air.
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - EVENING
In the room Alicia handles the abrasions left by Oliver on Jackson's face.
JACKSON
Hmm, for the first time in 25 years, someone beat me up.
ALICIA
Everything in this life when it happens for the first time.
Alicia sticks a flesh-colored plaster to abrasion.
EXT. THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN - EVENING
Alicia and Jackson sit on top of a mountain, admiring the sunset.
ALICIA
I probably watch the sunset calmly for the first time... In this city, time slows down, unlike in Europe. Living in England, I never thought that sunset could be so beautiful. This they can admire for a long time, and not in a hurry.
JACKSON
All once is the first time.
The sun hides behind the horizon. Against a bright red sky with purple hues, two dark figures of people froze.
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - MORNING
Millword and Elizabeth enter the house with a crash. They carry their suitcases to the second floor to their room, with their noise they woke Alicia, who is still in a dream, watching yesterday's beautiful sunset.
ELIZABETH
Alicia, stop sleeping. You probably sleep here all day? The rise, we are waiting for great things.
ALICIA
Good morning to you too, Mom. Let me watch the dream.
ELIZABETH
Stop looking, and then watch it. Grandmother and grandfather are invited to breakfast in the restaurant.
INT. IN THE RESTAURANT "BIG DIPPER" - MORNING
All members of the Kang family have breakfast. Grandma sometimes looks askance at Elizabeth.
MITSURI
You know, Millword, Alicia helped us a lot in the restaurant.
JACIE
Yes, thanks for convincing her to come to us. She really helped us.
MITSURI
After all, this restaurant is our whole life. We have managed this for forty years. And if we lost during the crisis, then I can’t imagine what would happen to us.
MILVORD
I am glad that you found a common language and made friends while working.
MITSURI
Speaking of friendship. Alicia has a very handsome guy, Oliver.
ALICIA
Grandma, stop everything in the past. No more Oliver.
ELIZABETH
How so? Why did we not know anything? Tell us about it.
ALICIA
There is nothing to say. Oliver was not what he said.
MITSURI
How so? He is a nice and cute young man. Why did you break up?
ALICIA
Don't ask me more about him. Oliver is now in the past.
INT. IN CAR - DAY
All members of the Kang family are returning home. They drive past Chemie Moroni House. Elizabeth looks at him through the side window of the car. She is immersed in herself.
ALICIA
Mom, where are you? Come down to earth.
ELIZABETH
What? I did not hear, sorry.
ALICIA
So how long have you come?
Elizabeth looks at her husband, tries to say something. Milword interrupts her.
MILVORD
For a couple of days, not more. My work does not allow me to rest for a long time.
ALICIA
So what about your work? Are there many customers? Or no one is interested in your projects?
MILVORD
The French bought from me a business plan for the construction of a shopping center.
ALICIA
Wow. This is really wonderful. This means that your company employs professionals.
MILVORD
Well, not without it. How about your job?
ALICIA
I like working like that. I mean work at a distance. I don’t see my hysterical boss, well, only if he doesn’t conduct online press conferences. I send him the work done every two days to the post office, and I live in peace without his tantrums.
MILVORD
Why don't you change jobs?
ALICIA
Not now.
The car pulls up to the house.
