Taylor and Connor run for the fire escape window. They can barely hear Noah yelling from the hallway.

"Connor. Open up. Are you there?" He yells.

Finally, fed up with waiting, Noah is standing on the landing. He pulls out a gun that's hidden in his blazer pocket. He aims it at the lock and fires. The door to the loft flies open.

Noah moves rapidly through the huge space.

"Connor!"

It is obvious that no one's home.

Jude, with great effort, rushes at Noah and attacks him with his fists. To his great shock, he has no impact. Noah walks right through him.

'Not enough emotions.' Jude thinks to himself.

As Connor and Taylor are climbing the fire escape, a loud metal sound hits the fire escape.

Noah runs to the fire escape window. He looks out just in time to see Connor go into the 7th story window.

"Got ya." Noah says as he takes off his blazer and climbs out the window.

Connor and Taylor run through a new loft that is under construction. It is a maze of tangled wires and broken walls. The fire escape window slams shut and nearly scares them half to death. They rush blindly toward the front door. It won't open.

"Damn it! The door isn't opening." Taylor says.

"Back to the fire escape. Head for the roof." Connor tells her.

Taylor reaches the fire escape window just as Noah appears on the other side. She screams. Noah tries shoving the window open. It won't budge.

Connor sees some scaffolding leading to the skylight. There is an opening at the top.

"This way!" Connor tells her.

Connor quickly climbs the scaffolding and makes it to the roof.

With a huge shove, Noah opens the window and rushes inside. The window slams behind him.

Taylor rushes back toward Connor, but her foot catches on a loose cable and she falls to the ground.

"Help us, Jude!" Taylor pleads.

A hand falls on Taylor's shoulder. She spins around. Noah is standing behind her. She screams as he knocks her to the floor.

"I want the check. Just give me the check."

Connor looks down from the scaffolding and begins to yell at Noah.

"God almighty, Noah! What the hell are you doing? What the fuck have you done?!" He descends quickly and runs toward Noah.

"Don't interfere with me, Mr. Perfect! She's a thief. It's not her money."

Noah kicks Taylor. Connor rushes at him, and starts throwing punches at him. Noah aims his gun at him after Connor manages to knock him down.

"Keep out of this, Connor!" Noah warns as he manages to knock Connor out.

Taylor whimpers.

He grabs Taylor by the hair.

"Where is it?!" He demands as he puts the gun to Taylor's head.

Taylor cries out.

Noah cocks his gun.

"It's-it's in my purse." She tells him.

"Where's your purse?" He asks her.

"Over there." She says as she points across the room.

Noah sees the purse and yanks Taylor toward it. Yanking it off the floor, he tears through it like a wild man. There is no check. He grabs Taylor.

"Where is it, goddamn it? Where is it?"

"I gave it away." She says, frightened.

"You bitch! You fucking, bitch! You're lying! Don't lie to me, goddamn it!" Noah screams.

He aims his gun at her eye and is about to fire when, suddenly, something shoves him to the floor. Noah screams and jumps back, tripping over Taylor. Connor wakes up, while Jude is standing there.

In total panic, Noah scrambles to get up. Horrified, he shoots his gun blindly into the air. Connor and Taylor dive for cover.

"Are you alright?" Connor and Taylor ask each other.

The bullets have no impact. Jude musters all his strength and shoves Noah again. White with fear, Noah grabs Connor and aims his gun at his head.

"I'll kill him." Noah says, speaking directly to Jude. "You touch me and I'll kill him. I mean it, Jude. Just give me the fucking check!"

The gun is cocked at his temple. No one moves.

"Jude, please." Noah pleads. "I'm so sorry, Jude. I didn't mean for him to kill you. I never wanted him to kill you at all. I never wanted you dead. It's not my fault. Come on, Jude, give me the check. Give it to me and I'll leave Connor alone."

Nothing happens. Noah looks nervous.

"Jude? Jude?" Noah says desperately.

In a wild explosive fury, Jude charges at Noah and smashes at his gun. The weapon flies out of Noah's hand. Empowered by an anger no one has never seen before, Jude smashes into Noah with a violent force. Noah's body careens into walls and floorboards. Wiring snaps. Two-by-fours crack.

Noah, crawling desperately to escape, sees his gun on the floor. With a wild rush, he grabs for it and shoots at the door. The lock explodes and the door flies open.

Noah tries to run for it, but Jude cuts in front of him. With intense growing power, Jude sends Noah flying back into the apartment, colliding into a tall scaffold. Bags of plaster topple to the ground as mounds of plaster dust hurl into the air. The apartment looks like a scene from another world.

Noah, in a state of total unrelieved panic, breaks away from Jude. The dust obscures his escape. Like a trapped insect, he scrambles furiously to the fire escape window. Jude cannot see him.

Noah shoves at the window. It is stuck. With supreme effort, he grabs a ripped bag of plaster and swings it at the glass. Half of its plaster spews across the room before smashing the window. Shards of glass fly in all directions. Jude turns and sees Noah. He surges after him, but knows he cannot get to him in time.

As Noah is halfway to the window when his fist slams into an electrical box attached to a dangling crane.

"Damn it!" Jude screams out. To his astonishment, the unexpected happens.

The crane goes flying toward the window. To everyone's shock, it hits the frame. A huge pane of glass dislodges and comes crashing down. Noah looks up just in time to see the pointed edge aiming for his chest. Before he can move, it pierces him between the ribs and slices into his heart. His body quivers.

Jude turns away from the horrible scene as Connor engulfs Taylor with a hug and turns them away from the scene as well.

Noah's eyes bulge from their sockets. His body begins to spasm. He can't get up. A look of abject terror flashes through his eyes. He tries to scream. There is no sound. He tries to breathe. There is no breath.

With one last effort, Noah lurches forward. To his amazement, his body stands up and pulls away from the window. He looks down at his chest and is amazed to see that the glass is gone. There is no blood. Excited and confused, he turns around and sees Jude. For a moment, he cannot comprehend what is happening.

"Jude?" Noah says, faking his happiness.

There is a strange, silent moment between them.

"Oh, Noah." Jude says, shaking his head.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a terrible clicking sound is heard. Frightening black forms are emerging from the darkness. Noah looks behind him and gasps. Past the figures coming toward him, he sees his own dead body. It is pinned to the window sill.

Before Noah can cry out, the dark figures swoop down and envelope him. In a flash, his spirit is caught and surges with the dark forces back into the shadows. Far in some invisible distance, we can barely hear him scream.

And then it is silent. It is over.

Connor is crouching over Taylor in the corner, his back pressed tightly against the wall. He is staring into space. The room is filled with plaster dust. Slowly, emerging from the dust, Jude is approaching Connor. He gazes at them with terrible longing.

Suddenly, a brilliant light glows from behind the ceiling and the skylight floods the room with a golden haze. Jude turns to look at it. His eyes are full of surprise and wonder. The spirits beyond the ceiling are beckoning to him. As he looks down, he notices that his hands are growing transparent. His body is beginning to fade. A faint smile forms on his face. He leans down toward Connor, staring at her for a long, silent moment.

"Goodbye, Connor. I love you."

Connor's head lifts up. He looks around.

"Jude? Is that you?" Connor asks with his heart fluttering.

"Connor?!" A stunned Jude asks.
