This is gonna sound strange.

My brother, um...

...he thinks that he's a zombie.

Well, not really a zombie.

He thinks someone

is messing with his mind.

Aah!

Hi.

Oh, hi.

I'm sorry.

- Dr. Dodgson, I'm Caro.

- Uh-huh.

Paul thought maybe I could help you.

I used to help Dr. Winsvold,

minor stuff.

Maybe you could help me

with something here.

I'm going through Wesley's

medical records...

...trying to get up to speed,

and I get data up to three months ago.

After that date, nothing,

which makes no sense.

When did Dr. Winsvold leave?

Two months ago, right?

There's a one month gap in the data.

He didn't leave. He died.

He what?

Didn't Paul?...

No, maybe I shouldn't.

No, maybe I misunderstood him.

What did he die of?

I think it was a heart attack.

Mr. Hope, a friend of Paul,

used to be a doctor.

He came and examined the body.

I think he said it was a heart attack.

You're very pretty.

Hmm?

- Would you model for me?

- I'm sorry, what?

Do you want to model for me? I sculpt.

Oh.

If you have some time.

So, when are you going

to go see Wesley?

Tomorrow morning.

I can go with you, if you'd like.

He's a little funny at first,

but I get along with him.

He's great.

Wesley was a great musician...

...and he is so funny.

You sound like you're in love with him.

Everybody is in love with him.

Come. Get him in the car.

Oh!

You see what I'm talking about?

- Where is he going?

- I don't know.

I ask him, but he won't tell me.

Can I get you something,

perhaps a nightcap?

No, thanks. I'm just gonna

get a good night's sleep...

- Focus on the challenge.

- Well, that it is.

But I feel you're up for it.

'Night, Alice.

- Good night.

- Sleep tight.

If you change your mind

about that nightcap...

Dr. Dodgson! Doctor! Are you OK?

Comin'.

Comin'!

- Hi...

- Good morning.

Hi, um, uh...

I'm sorry if I woke...

Did I wake you up?

No, I'll be ready in a minute.

You know, um, I... I can go by myself.

And, you know, it's quite nice.

I can just kind of wander around...

- Whatever.

- Come on, girl.

I'll put on some coffee.

Um...

Wow, you're really, really good.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I don't sell much.

Well, if I had money I'd buy one.

You're a doctor and you're not rich?

That's right.

Girl, we both gotta get serious

about getting rich.

while we're still young and beautiful.

So, listen, last night I...

I found something in my shower.

A mongoose? They're all over the place.

No, not a mongoose.

It was a doll

with rusty nails stuck in it.

Somebody put obeah on you,

but don't worry...

...it only work if you believe it does.

What's obeah?

Obeah. It's voodoo, Jamaican version.

If you don't take it too seriously
