Pay the Ghost Page #4

Find my son.

Charlie!

Hey, hey, stop!

Hey!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Hey, wait!

Charlie!

Stop!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Let me in, let me in.

Charlie. Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie.

Charlie!

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hi.

Uh, outside, on the wall,

it says, "Pay the Ghost."

What are you talking about?

Uh, the graffiti.

"Pay the Ghost."

Does anyone know

what that means?

Cover the fires!

Cover them.

What was that?

Nobody knows.

She always comes out

just before Halloween.

What does

"Pay the Ghost" mean?

I saw it written outside.

Come with me.

What does it mean?

Just what it says, I guess.

Time's up, you need to leave.

Kristen.

I really...

I really need to talk to you.

It's not a good time.

I've got some client

designs I gotta finish.

Please.

So, when I saw it,

on the wall, the graffiti,

I remembered something

that Charlie said to me,

on that day, just before he...

- Yep.

- He asked me,

"Dad, can we pay the ghost?"

Okay.

So, what are you

telling me, Mike?

I mean, we're in a city that's

full of graffiti, right?

Did he ever say

anything like that to you?

Kristen, have you

been hearing anything,

or seeing anything

that might make you

think or feel that

Charlie might be

trying to communicate with you?

I don't know what's

happening to me,

but I really think that Charlie

might be reaching out to me.

Okay, I can't

do this with you.

Kristen...

- I can't do this.

- Kristen, please!

Kristen!

- Kristen!

- I can't do this.

I know how it sounds,

but isn't it possible?

Have you seen him?

Have I seen him?

I see him every day.

I see him on the street,

I see him in the subway,

I see him in his little school

when I pass his friends.

I see him when

I'm in the grocery store.

But every time I get closer,

it's not him.

It's never him!

You had to take him

to that stupid fair.

- He was my boy.

- I know.

- He was my son.

- I know.

- He was...

- I know.

Then why didn't you protect him?

Look how tall that guy is!

Smile, Dad.

You having fun?

This is awesome.

Yeah, it is.

Kristen.

Are you all right?

I need to talk to you.

Um, I think you were

right about Charlie.

I think he is trying

to reach out to us.

Come on in.

What if I'm imagining it?

Maybe this is all in my head,

maybe it's just...

No.

You didn't imagine it.

You didn't.

It's real.

I've been doing some research.

Pick a date.

Any one.

Charlie's birthday.

Perfect.

These are all the

children who went missing

on July 15th in New York City

over the last six years.

Most of them have been found.

Now let's try your birthday.

Most of these children, too.

But if you try Halloween?

Only about half of

the missing children

have been recovered.
