The Quiet Ones Page #7

Synopsis: In 1974, Oxford professor Joseph Coupland invites introspective lad Brian McNeil to film his experimental treatment of subject Jane Harper, aided by student assistants Krissi Dalton and Harry Abrams. Jane, a young woman with no memory of the past and repeatedly abandoned by foster families, believes herself possessed by a doll named Evey that gives her telekinetic power. Keeping her awake in an isolated house, Prof. Coupland intends that she puts her evil energy into an actual doll, thereafter destroying it to heal Jane. Amidst strange things happening in the house, Brian feels sorry for Jane and, researching her tattoo, learns an evil secret about Jane's past, and of Prof. Coupland's motivation.

"Telekinetic event."

So what you're saying is

that Joseph is a fraud,

and Harry and I are fools, idiots.

No, I'm saying this isn't gonna

hold up as scientific proof.

And in the process, we've

tortured a human being,

for no other reason than her

sick desire to please him.

HARRY:
What are you doing?

Yes, the doll. We saw smoke.

They can say it's a fake, that

we hid something in here.

(JANE SCREAMING)

Oh, my God!

Jane?

(SCREAMING)

- KRISSI:
Jane. Oh, God.

- HARRY:
Jane. Oh, my God.

She faking this too?

(JANE SCREAMS)

I understand this

has been difficult.

It's human nature to

question and be skeptical.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to cause...

We're depending on you, Brian. Hmm?

We need every detail.

JANE:
I'm okay now.

Here you go.

It's okay.

She will need your strength

for what lies ahead.

What's that?

Isolate Evey.

Turn her off.

Hold still, just a

few more seconds.

Please try not to move.

Focus your eyes at

the ceiling, okay?

Stay relaxed. Stay

still, that's important.

She's ready.

Find Evey.

- (LOW HUM)

- (WHIMPERING)

Don't move. Two,

three.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

Photographs, Soviet technology.

Captures the bioelectric energy

fields around living organisms.

- Their aura?

- Their bioelectric energy fields.

These are Jane in a

neutral state of mind.

These, when she's

starting to manifest.

Evey.

It's ghastly.

So is this proof?

Using technology that

exists, cameraman,

it's the best we can do.

See what you've made, Jane?

You made her. You

can get rid of her.

I don't want to get rid of her.

You can't possibly mean that.

You can't.

Joseph.

JANE:
It's okay.

He cares about us.

He does.

Joseph, I'm scared.

It means you're alive.

You'll be safe with someone

else, another family.

And I'll be sane.

I'm not fond of feeling scared.

Usually, I scare people.

KRISSI:
(WHISPERING)

I want to feel good.

Not tonight, Krissi.

We have to conserve our energy.

Go back to bed.

Go on.

(HUMMING)

HARRY:
What's wrong?

Nothing.

You've been distant all

week, something's up.

I just feel like we're

living on a spaceship.

There's no TV, the

phones don't work.

I've stopped going to lectures,

I haven't read a newspaper in...

It's a prison.

It's a prison and we

are her prisoners.

This has gone on long enough.

What, you mean you and me?

No, you idiot! The Experiment.

Are both of you blind?

Joseph is in love with Jane Harper.

He's wants to cure her

so he can have her.

Don't be a child!

Piss off.

(ELECTRICAL BURST)

(SHRIEKS)

Krissi!

(LAUGHTER OVER SPEAKER)

I had nothing to do with this,

I swear. I was asleep.

You couldn't have been
