And the truth is, you're

probably right.

I've been giving it a lot of thought

since Katie Dunne's funeral, and,

I've been having a rough time with

some of the church's teachings.

With regards to demons?

With regards to everything.

Would you like to talk about it?

I wouldn't even

know where to begin.

Maggie Dunne stopped

by earlier today.

She was so angry,

and full of hate.

And the more I tried to talk to

her about God's mercy, and how

her daughter's

in a better place,

the more it struck me.

I don't know

if I believe that anymore.

Be right back.

I'm gonna go check on Cass.

Girl, come dance with us.

I'm not in the mood.

Snap out of it. You've been

in this funk all night.

Have a shot Cass.

It'll take the edge off.

That's more like it.

Come dance with us.

Hey.

Hey, he's here.

Cassie?

Cassie, wait up.

Leave me alone!

Cassie?

Cassie, are you okay?

He's the one!

He's the one who's doing this!

Come on you guys,

let's get her home.

Get out!

Just get out!

Is this what you wanted?

Cassie?

Cassie!

Cassie.

Cassie. Now.

That's it. You're safe now.

You're in my office.

You're safe.

That's it, shake it off.

Do you remember

that night now?

The night you tried

to kill yourself.

He was there.

And everyone was dead.

What about your friends?

Were they there?

They were dead too.

This is a place you've

been too, isn't it?

A rave party, I believe

they're called.

Are you familiar with a

drug called ecstasy?

I believe they're popular

at these parties.

I've heard of it?

Have you ever taken it?

Sometimes.

You're not gonna tell

my parents, are you?

They're very worried

about you, Cassie.

They care for you deeply.

No they don't.

They only care about themselves.

Perhaps they have a

difficult time showing it,

but I assure you, they do care.

Cassie, is there

something wrong?

You don't hear that?

What are you hearing?

It's like a buzz.

He's coming.

What is it, Cassie?

What just happened?

He was here.

He was standing

right behind you.

I assure you,

there was no one here but us.

No. He was here. He

knows about you now.

I think he's coming for you.

Hey. How ya feeling?

Okay, I guess.

Can I come in?

Aren't you afraid your buddies

will see you talking to me?

Right now I could

really care less.

Brought you these.

Notes from class. Didn't know

how long you'd be in here.

Thanks.

So... What are you doing here?

I don't know.

Just seeing how you're doing.

Crappy.

Can I ask you something,

Cass?

I guess.

It's okay if you don't

want to answer.

You wanna know why

I tried to kill myself.

I saw your parents at church.

They told me about it.

About Scotty.

So that's the real
