rid of it for good.

What, now?

The psychic floodgates have opened

and we are driving through.

She's hurt, tired.

She needs rest and food.

Even God rested on the seventh day.

Hmm.

Interesting.

Krissi?

Well, obviously, I want

to go on, Joseph, but

maybe she's earned a rest.

Harry?

Yeah.

Well, it's unanimous.

Let's give our subject

a well-deserved break.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Come and play.

You got to get him out first.

You ready?

(LAUGHS)

- KRISSI:
Yes, that's how it's really done.

- That was pathetic.

- Cut that. Cut that out.

- (KRISSI GIGGLES)

COUPLAND:

We need to speak with Evey.

She can come and stay right here.

Right here inside this doll.

It can be hers and she can

stay there anytime she wants.

I can't find her.

Where are you hiding tonight, Evey?

She's not hiding. She's lost.

(THUD)

She doesn't sound lost.

Are you going to come down and

talk to us? We want to meet you.

(THUD)

- (GASPS) God.

- Stay down!

Joseph...

(THUDDING CONTINUES)

Tell her to come in, Jane.

We just want to talk to her.

Tell her to come in

and play with us.

HARRY:
Play nice.

She's here.

(STATIC NOISES)

How big you've grown, little girl.

Big enough to walk. If

you're big enough to walk

you're big enough

to talk. Speak to us!

Please, we just want to be friends.

She knows you're lying.

What can we do to calm you down?

Where's she gone?

JANE:
I don't know.

COUPLAND:
Evey!

- (BANG)

- (ALL GASP)

Come on. Come on.

Brian, get out of the way!

If you're her friend, you must

leave her be! Let Jane heal.

Tell her, Jane.

JANE:
Leave, Evey, please.

Say it like you mean it!

Please, Evey!

- (BANG)

- (ALL GASP)

Have you got something to show us?

Joseph. Joseph.

- (INDISTINCT SHRIEKS)

- (COUPLAND SCREAMS)

It bit me!

- KRISSI:
Evey's gone, she's gone!

- HARRY:
Are you okay?

It bit me!

JANE:
(ON VIDEO)

Burning! Burning! Burning, Evey!

HARRY:
God, Jesus Christ!

(GRUNTING)

(GAGGING)

She needs a doctor!

What happens to Jane now

that Evey refuses to leave?

Maybe we burn down the house.

Maybe that's what Harper's

been talking about. Kill Evey.

And it'll be a wrap. Good ending.

Yeah, very dramatic.

I'm sorry,

are you insinuating that we're

making this whole thing up?

That this is somehow staged?

Professor hires gullible local

cameraman to make himself famous.

(SCOFFS)

Don't be absurd. What

about Jane's burns?

A bit of acid on the

doll, basic chemistry.

I did go to school.

What about the electromagnetic

field readings, the heartbeat?

It's simple enough to fake.

And the bite?

Self-inflicted when we weren't

looking. And the knocks...

Evey? Evey, are you there?

(CLANGING)

So you break up something under
