The rent is cheap, but the catch is there are many restrictions, few possessions, no children, etc. Both are offered the house. Jane discovers that three years earlier Emma died at the house. The architect\u2019s wife and child also died during the construction of a previous design of the house. Edward\u2019s relationships with Emma and Jane follow a similar pattern; he invites himself round to cook dinner then it becomes physical. Emma is upset when the man who raped her pleads not guilty. Jane finds a business card for Emma\u2019s therapist and visits her. Jane thinks she is pregnant. The police discover that Emma wasn&#8217;t raped by the burglar and charge her with perjury. Simon thinks Emma was murdered.
