to frighten children,

to make lovers

cling closer in their rapture.

Come with me and be immortal.

Helen?

Helen, it's Bernie.

Wh...

Bernadette?

Bernadette, go...

Helen.

Helen, honey, it's Bernadette.

Let me in.

He's here...

Bernadette... Go!

Helen!

Helen?

Go on! Get out!

Oh, no...

No, no, no...

Trevor...

Trevor, he's here.

He's here. He's... here.

Don't let him kill me.

Trevor?

Trevor!

Trevor!

Trevor!

Trevor. Trevor!

- Hey, hey.

- Trevor!

Take her outside.

Trevor...

Hold me, Trevor, please?

Why do you want to live?

If you would learn

just a little from me,

you would not beg to live.

I am rumour.

It is a blessed condition,

believe me.

To be whispered about

at street corners.

To live in other people's dreams

but not to have to be.

Do you understand?

Please, God,

don't let him kill the baby.

Trevor!

Trevor?

Trevor!

Where are you going?

You can't leave me here.

I can't defend myself!

No...

What do the good know,

except what the bad teach them

by their excesses.

Murderer...

Allow me at least a kiss.

Just one exquisite kiss.

Murderer!

Help! He's under the bed!

Bring me 1,000 mills.

He's here. He's under the bed!

No... Don't...

She's coming around.

Morning.

I'd like to speak to my husband.

So would I.

- There we go.

- What time is it?

- Where are we going?

- We're going to Disneyland.

Clyde, open it up.

Whitley, Clyde, open it up.

What were you all doing back there?

A little reading, huh?

Freak.

- Dr Burke?

- Yes.

Ms Lyle, I'm Dr Burke.

- I'd like to speak to my husband.

- I'm sure we can arrange a visit.

A visit?

Have I been committed?

Do you really think

these restraints are necessary?

Helen, this...

is a writ of detention

from the state attorney's office.

- For the past month...

- Month?

Yes.

We've been stabilising you

on a heavy dosage of Thorazine.

You probably remember

very little, or nothing.

- Get me my attorney.

- I'm working for your defence.

We have to assess your ability

to stand trial.

Helen, you've been charged

with first-degree murder.

Why don't you tell me

what happened in your apartment?

The night you were admitted,

did the killer appear to you?

Murderer! Murderer!

Murderer! Help me!

He's here! He's under the bed!

I don't understand.

Help! Please! He's here!

Help me! Help me! Please!

- That...

- He's under the bed...

That's not possible.

Bernadette.

I'm not capable of that.

No matter what's going wrong,

I know one thing.

That no part of me,

no matter how hidden,

is capable of that.

- I can prove it.

- How?

I can call him.

Candyman, Candyman,

Candyman, Candyman...

Candyman.

You're mine now.

Tonight our congregation

shall witness a new miracle.

Ah...

Dr Burke?

Dr Burke?

Dr Burke, please answer.

Dr Burke!

Code nine,

Ward B-5, stat.

Code nine,

Ward B-5, stat.

Check the west wing!

- All clear!

- Right!

Go, go, go!

We have

a direction on this one?

Please be home, Trevor.

Please be home.

Get out of my home.

Trevor!

What's the matter, sweetie pie?

Did you make another little boo-boo?

What are you doing here?

I live here. Remember?

Call the hospital.

Don't touch the phone.

What's the matter, Trevor?

Scared of something?

I hate the colour scheme.

Were you going to wait

till I got out before you told me?

Helen...

You knew I was never coming out,

didn't you?

I think we should call the hospital.

OK.

Go on.

Go on.

Is that what you wanna do?

Call them.

I'm not a murderer.

I'm not...

Trevor, you were all I had left.

It's over.

If you'd like to make

a call, hang up and try again.

They will all abandon you.

All you have left

is my desire for you.

Helen...

You came to me.

The child...

- We had a deal.

- Surrender to me now...

...and he shall be unharmed.

- We have a bargain.

- But I'm afraid.

Do you fear the pain,

or what is beyond?

Both.

The pain, I can assure you,

will be exquisite.

As for our deaths,

there is nothing to fear.

Our names will be written

on a thousand walls,

our crimes told and retold

by our faithful believers.

We shall die together

in front of their very eyes

and give them something

to be haunted by.

Come with me and be immortal.

No!

No...

Shh.

Shh.

You're mine now.

It's time for a new miracle.

It was always you, Helen.

It was always you.

He's here.

I'm coming.

- It's OK.

- Check it out, man.

Oh... Yes.

What happened?

Candyman's in there.

I saw him go in there. I saw his hook.

Candyman's in there!

I saw his hook!

Shh.

I knew you'd come.

Burn him.

Hush.

Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!

Burn him!

Help!

Burn! Burn! Burn!

Help! Help me!

You lied to me.

We must be on our way now,

you and I.

Our bones will soon be ashes,

and we shall never be separated again.

Let me go.

I cannot.

We are already dead.

Helen!

Come back to me!

Come back!

We commend to Almighty God

our sister Helen

and commit her body to the ground.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

The Lord bless her and keep her

and give her peace.

God of holiness and power, accept our

prayers on behalf of your servant Helen.

Do not call her deeds against her,

for in her heart

she desired to do your will.

Almighty God, bless you, the Father

and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

My God.

Look at that.

Trevor?

Trevor?

What is it?

- Trevor, are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Aren't you hungry?

No, I'm OK. I'll eat later.

I was gonna make us a nice dinner.

OK. Whatever.

Hey, why don't you help me

make the salad?

OK. I'll be there in a minute.

Oh, Helen...

Helen...

Helen.

Helen.

Ow!

What's the matter, Trevor?

Scared of something?

Trevor...

My God, Trevor?

Trevor?

Trevor?
