SCRIPT

[INT. BED SPACER – NIGHT]

The apartment is dimly lit. One common room, with 4 bunk beds, a shared bathroom, and a
small kitchen. The atmosphere is quiet and claustrophobic. A storm rumbles outside. Flickering
fluorescent light.

JULES (arranging his things on the lower bunk)

(to himself)
Another day in this cozy little haunted cube.

LARA (looking up from her bed, amused)

You’re starting to sound like me. Bed spacers don't talk much—unless it’s to complain about the
ghosts.

JULES (grinning)
At least you talk. The girl on the far bunk? Mai? She hasn't said a word in two days.

LARA
She keeps to herself. Quiet ones always have a story.

Thunder cracks. Lights flicker. A whisper echoes.

WHISPER (V.O.)
"Help me..."

Jules and Lara look at each other.

JULES
You heard that, right?
LARA (nervous laugh)
Probably the pipes. Or... the ghost bride?

JULES (mock scared)

Oh no. Not this again.

[INT. BED SPACER – LATER THAT NIGHT]

Everyone’s in bed. Jules is half-asleep, Lara is reading with a small flashlight. MAI is sitting on
her bed, staring at a locket. It opens. Inside is a torn wedding photo.

The door to the bathroom creaks open on its own.

Lara glances over.

LARA
Mai? Are you okay?

MAI (softly)
She doesn't like people here. Especially the ones who ignore her.

JULES (sits up)

What?

MAI
She was supposed to be married... right in this room. It was her bridal night. He never showed.
She found out he ran off—with her sister. She... never left.

A cold wind blows. Curtains fly even though windows are shut.

[INT. BED SPACER – FLASHBACK VISION]

A translucent, ghostly BRIDE (CECILE) stands near the bed. Blood seeps from her chest. She’s
holding a bouquet with thorns and broken glass. Her veil is torn. She lets out a scream that
distorts the air.

[INT. BED SPACER – RETURN TO PRESENT]

Jules stands, trying to stay calm.

JULES
Okay, that’s enough. Mai, you're freaking us out.

LARA (shaking)
Jules... behind you!

He turns. The ghost BRIDE stands inches from him. Pale. Eyes sunken. Her mouth opens slowly.

BRIDE (whispers)
He lied. They all lie.

She SCREAMS. Lights explode. MAI collapses.

[INT. BED SPACER – MOMENTS LATER]

Jules pulls Lara behind him. Mai is still on the floor, crying.

MAI
She showed me how she died. She was strangled... with her own veil. The walls hide it. Behind
the mirror. Her body was never found.

Jules rushes to the mirror. Pries it off. A HOLE in the wall. Inside, wrapped in decayed lace and
veil... is a skeletal hand.

Suddenly, the lights flicker violently.

BRIDE (O.S.) (calmer now)

Thank you.

Her form slowly appears behind Mai. She touches Mai’s shoulder, and for the first time, the
ghost smiles faintly. Then... she vanishes.

[INT. BED SPACER – NEXT MORNING]

The room is quiet. Morning light peeks through. The air feels lighter.

LARA
Do you think she’s at peace?

JULES
I think... she just wanted someone to listen.
They look at each other. Numb but alive.

LARA (smirking slightly)

Welcome to the bed spacer club.

JULES (chuckles)
Should we post a vacancy sign?

LARA
Only if it says “No ghosts allowed.”
