I keep telling you,

I can't do anything.

You're nuts, you are.

I'm just envious, I've

always wanted to be psychic.

Mind, I did know my last

boyfriend was cheating on me.

But how cool would it have been

if I could have made the

ceiling fall down on him.

Don't abuse it though,

you mustn't become

a bully or anything.

Only use it for good, like Yoda.

May the force be with you!

Told you it wasn't me.

We need to call the police.

No.

What?

No, the police can't help.

Why not?

I'm scared.

It's all right, sweetheart.

Nothing's gonna

hurt you, I promise.

Lise, take him up to bed.

No, what if it's...

No, it's all

right, sweetheart,

it's just a mess. That's all.

But I don't...

Let's do as your

mum says, come on.

Where's James?

Steve I was... I

was gonna make...

Where is he.

He's not here.

Where's my f***ing boy!

Where's my f***ing boy,

you b*tch? Where is he?

Where's my boy!

At my dad's.

You shouldn't have

f***ing taken my boy!

Bryony, what are you doing?

I need to do something.

But a ouija board?

It's Steve. He's here.

Bryony this, this

is a really bad idea.

I have to

do something, Lise.

So, am I doing it by myself,

or are you doing it with me?

Steve? Are you there?

Is there something

you want to tell me?

Is there something

you want me to do?

I don't think...

Sorry.

Steve?

This is ridiculous.

This is no joke

any more, Bryony,

you've got to get

away from here.

What's the point? You

can't run away from a ghost.

Well, how do you know?

Maybe he's just here.

No, he's here

because we're here.

If we run away, he'll follow us.

Just like before.

James!

How's the pizza?

It's fine.

They only had pepperoni,

they didn't have

ham and mushroom.

Won't matter what your mum did.

Didn't even have a

chance to say goodbye.

Come on, drink up.

I'm not thirsty.

Go on, son, get it down you.

It tastes weird.

It's what

all us soldiers drink.

It'll make you big and strong.

That's it.

Am I gonna be

staying with you now?

Yeah. Told you,

you and me forever.

Not here though.

There's nothing for

us here any more.

What about mum?

Don't worry about her,

she can look after herself.

You all right, son?

I feel funny.

Just close your eyes.

I'll get in the back with you,

and then you can have a nap.

All be better soon.

God.

No!

James!

Jesus.

Are you hurt?

No.

James, what

happened to Frodo?

He said I could

take him with me.

Who did?

I don't know!

He was in my head.

He said I had to go now, but

I could take Frodo with me.

You mustn't listen to him!

I don't

understand! What's happening?

We're leaving.

Now?

Right now.

I don't understand,

why won't it open?

God.

Try the back door.

Why won't it open?

Stand back.

God.

Mum.

It's okay, James.

What's that noise?

He's getting stronger.

Who is?

Come on.

It's okay, here.

Hurry up, Lisa!

Mum!

Bryony!

Are you okay, mum?

James! No!

James!

No! James!

James, hold on!

James! Bryony!

Mum, help me!

Auntie.

Mum! Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

James?

James!

Leave James, please!

Dad?

Steve, stop this!

Please, let him go.

If you do this, he'll hate you!

You'll lose him forever!

I'll be back, promise.

Hello! So what you

gonna call him then?

Dunno,

maybe Luke Skywalker.

But

the lady in the shop

didn't know if it was a boy.

Maybe it should

be Princess Leia.

No way, I'm not having

a girl in my room.

Luke Skywalker it is then.
