Forced to communicate via an artificial voice program and hooked to a breathing machine, she becomes convinced that a terrifying presence called Nails exists inside her hospital room.

- I didn't see anything.

- I talked to Stengel.

He told me nails

killed children.

Then nails killed himself.

In this room.

- In here?

I didn't know that.

- Have there been

others who saw nails?

- No and I sure as hell haven't.

- Yes, you have.

- Look, you need to stop

talking about this.

Spending all your time

looking at that computer

and those cameras.

It's putting a hex on your

brain all that radiation.

Didn't your mother

ever tell you not to sit

too close to the television?

- Trevor, you have to

help me get out of here.

I have to go home.

- You will, but not yet.

You're not ready.

- No, please, you have

to help me get out.

- Look, I've got other

patients I've gotta see.

I've gotta go.

- Please.

Trevor...

Nobody believes me.

- Look, I locked the

damn door, didn't I?!

I'm not your husband.

Get him to get you out of here.

- He... he doesn't listen.

- People ask me:

Why can I see ghosts?

The answer is:

I am gifted with a third eye

that allows me to perceive

multi-dimensional beings

on many different plains.

- Do you wanna talk about it:

The second sight, your gift?

- Gift?

Yeah, well, I just wish

I could give this gift to you

for a little while

and you see what it's like.

I started seeing her, the...

Spirit, the...

The vapors,

whatever you wanna call it.

- The gray woman?

- Yeah.

I started seeing her a couple

weeks after my accident.

I work for the power company.

I touched a live cable with...

This hand, the crippled one.

They say I was dead

for two or three minutes.

I think maybe

that's why I see her.

The gray woman.

Cos I was dead, like her.

- Is she...

Here now with us?

The gray woman?

- Ms. Leaming, I need

to talk to you about Dana.

I mean, Mrs. Milgrom.

- What is it now?

- The other night,

when I came into her room,

when she pressed the buzzer...

I thought I saw something.

- Are you telling me

that you saw the same

evil spirit as Mrs. Milgrom?

- Not, not head on.

- More felt it.

It's, it's hard

to put it into words.

- Have you talked to

anybody about this?

- No, just Mrs. Milgrom.

It's not me.

It's that doctor Stengel.

He told her about

the children that died

and about that nurse,

Eric Nilsson.

Did you know about him?

- Eric Nilsson was devoted

to those children.

I don't believe he would ever

consciously harm any of them.

- He stabbed five little girls

with a hypodermic.

That's pretty f***ed up,

even for a psychopath.

- It has taken this

institution many years

to put that behind us.

Now I don't want people

dredging up old history.

You have other patients

to look after.

- Look, Ms. Leaming, I really

think Dana is in trouble.
