Miss May Wong?

Spirits, ghosts, ghouls,

we wish to converse.

Are you present?

Okay, can we have dessert now?

I have the most amazing

chocolate cake ready for you.

What the hell was that?

Did you do that, Wayne?

Okay. That was me.

You idiot!

Um, there's something.

Tell us your name.

May?

May, are you okay? Oh!

Oh, sweetie, are you okay? May.

Oh. It's okay.

It must be the wine. I'm taking

medication for my heart.

- I'd better go. Sorry.

- It's okay. It's okay, dear

Please stay. I don't want

to spoil anyone's fun.

Please stay.

Turn that thing off.

It's another anagram

for Leviathan.

Leviathan is a sea monster

in the Old Testament.

Do you see that?

Huh. She's sort of

fading away in the mirror.

We need to talk to her.

"Subterfuge."

It's the artist you went to see?

He's dead.

Anna, Charlotte and Josh...

The link between all three

of them is May Wong.

Father?

- Father!

- I can't help you.

Is this about the case

in Indonesia ten years ago?

- I need to go.

- Father, it wasn't your fault.

The Vatican cleared you.

That man didn't die

because of the exorcism.

He died from medical

complications.

Resulting from my ignorance.

Father, please, I'm begging you.

There's something unholy about

this attack on the church.

Please.

My faith is not as strong

as you may think.

But isn't that

what makes us human?

It's our struggle for perfection

that lends us grace.

We're all inadequate

in His eyes, Father.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Aunt Jamie?

Aunt Jamie?

You've got to go.

Honey?

May is our chief researcher

in undersea Internet cables.

Most of the world's cables

are routed through Singapore.

It reflects our maritime past

as a naval base.

I understand that you want to

interview May for your story,

but given that she's not around,

can I propose another

researcher?

I'd really prefer

to speak with May,

especially when she is the one

who wrote the software.

Um, can I have her address?

I'll contact her myself.

Oh, I'm afraid

it's not our company policy

to divulge the personal details

of our employees to the media.

I understand,

but I can't write my article

without speaking to her.

- Thank you for your time.

- Hang on, Miss Waters.

The Pacific Monitor... You have a

very wide readership in America.

Our quarterly results

will be announced next month.

Your story on Subterfuge

will be most helpful.

And arise, Leviathan.

Arise.

Ah. You've finally come, master.

- Katie, we've got to go.

- I'm not leaving.

It's the seventh day,

and Mommy's coming back.

Katie. Katie.

Katie?

Get away from that.

- We got to go.

- No, Mommy's coming back.

No! Stop. No!

No, Mommy's coming back. No!
