Joey Page #2

That's too bad.

Really too bad.

He's burying something.

Yes, looks like it.

Well, they finally leave.

Hey Charlie.

Charlie where are you?

Hey, there you are.

Let me introduce you. This is

Charlie. Charlie, this is Sally.

What's wrong with him?

Don't be such a chicken.

- Why is he chirping?

- He's talking.

- Don't make things up.

- But it's true Sally.

What do we have here?

Charlie.

Charlie.

What are you two doing there?

Charlie!

No!

- Charlie, move out of the way!

- Charlie, leave!

Get out of the way!

You're so mean.

Great shot!

- Who on earth is throwing bombs?

- It wasn't us. It was Joey.

How did you get in here?

Sorry, the door was open,

I heard the radio and...

Joey wasn't in school today

so I thought I'd stop by.

Yes, he had a sore throat this morning

so I thought he'd better stay in bed.

I just saw him in the

garden with some kids.

What kids? Oh, what am I doing!

Use this. Some kids from his class.

- Did you think about my suggestion?

- What suggestion?

Consulting a child psychologist.

Sorry, but let's talk

about this some other time.

I know that you...

What is this?

Please leave me and my

son alone. We'll manage.

Are you really implying

that Joey, the boy...

can communicate with the dead?

For him, his father isn't really dead.

- But how does he talk to him?

- He just uses a phone.

What about the knives?

How did that happen?

Joey says the dummy did it

I know it sounds silly, but...

he found it somewhere

and brought it home.

He says it's evil.

It doesn't want him to talk to his father

and punishes him for playing the game.

Whatever that means I'm not

sure what he tried to say.

Come on.

Wait a minute.

- I know I put the dummy down here.

- The dummy?

- I found it in the garden.

Oh man, I'm dead meat! I just borrowed

these. My brother is going to kill me.

- Why didn't you wait?

- It wouldn't have made no difference.

One look and pow

- they were gone!

How am I going to explain to

my brother where his tanks are?

- Oh, start crying!

- You have it easy!

Maybe we should kidnap him.

Hey, come here, I found something!

Not so fast! Wait!

Are you scared?

- You really want to go in there?

- Wait, I have a lighter.

- Hey, there's a box of candles.

- Give me one.

- Look at this.

- Wow!

I think, that the ceiling

is about to cave in.

Look, there's an old jukebox.

Awesome, check if it it's still working.

There's another one!

Joey, dinner is ready.

I hope it didn't scare you.

Tell him to leave it alone.

Joey, what kind of behavior

is that? Sit down and behave.

I was just looking at it.

Martin, your plate please.

- Hello? Your plate.

- Sorry.

What about you?

My God, did you see that?

Don't let it ruin your appetite.

Well, Joey...

Joey, stop that and start eating.

Your mother and I think you

should go back to school tomorrow,

What do you think?

Joey, he asked you something.

I'm not going back to school.

You don't have to worry

about the other kids.

I think the best thing would be...

...how should I put it...

...if you keep your secrets to yourself.

What Martin and I are

trying to say is...

...enough of your tricks, okay?

Will you promise me that?

- Martin, dinner is getting cold.

- Yes.

- What happened?

- I burned my hand!

Joey, what have you done?

Come on, let's put it in ice water.

- No, no. Here... there.

- I'll get some ice.

- Are you sure it was Joey?

Who else?

I once read that such

phenomena occur at puberty.

Puberty? Joey just turned nine.

DO NOT ENTER:

She didn't keep it to herself...

...yes, and she said

she wouldn't tell anyone.

Why can't they just leave me alone?

No, I don't want to

go to school anymore.

I hate them. I really hate them.

No, he isn't nice, just

stupid. He treats me like a baby

Really, I can take care of myself.

Okay, if you say so...

Joey?

Where are you?

Joey!

There's no use hiding.

Mommy!

Why are you doing this?

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy, Mommy, don't go there!

Mommy!

I know you're here.

Laura! Laura, come quick!

What is this now?

I knew you were here.

Where are you?

Mommy, I'm here!

Laura, watch out!

I hate you! I want you to leave!

I never want to see you again! You hear?

No!

What do you want from me?

A little game.

I won't play with you.

We'll see.

Daddy!

Yes, we'll see.

Let me down!

Daddy, help me!

Daddy, Daddy!

Here, here.

Help!

What is it, Laura?

I hate you!

I hate you!

I hate you!

Joey!

Dad, help me!

- Joey!

- Stay away from the door!

Leave her alone!

Mom, be careful!

- He has blocked the door.

- Joey, please open up!

Come on, open the door!

Calm down, I'll get help, I

promise. Things will be all right.

Keep going, keep going... stop!

Come on, come on. Keep going...

Stop!

Hey, watch out!

- Do we have to go up there?

- To the house.

Careful with the lamp, put it here.

Watch out!

- Sorry, I'm a bit nervous.

- Are you okay, Laura?

I don't know, I try to save what I can.

Look at that, is this for real?

- All that for that little idiot?

- That's unbelievable.

If he thinks he can get

away with this, he's wrong.

He has to pay his dues.

We have to think of something quickly.

Hey, wait a minute!

Hold it, you can't go in.

Joey look around. Everything

will be set up here.

And the people over there

are from the phone company.

You've caused them a few

sleepless nights lately.

Up there are colleagues of mine.

They take note of everything

when we do the tests.

Dr. Hayden.

- What's going on here? You

must be the boy's teacher.

- Looks like the whole city is moving in.

- Don't worry.

We have experience in these

matters. The house is blocked off.

Have you noticed any

changes in the boy recently?

No, I can't think of

any. Scooter, get down!

- Any illnesses?

- Not that I know of.

- Oh, yes. A cold.

- A cold? A cold.

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

Turtle to Eagle, am at observation

post one, start distraction maneuver.

It worked. Let's go.

I hope it's not too uncomfortable,

but it has to be, okay?

You will hear a tape with recordings

what happened 5 nights ago...

...at 20:
45 pm. Understood?

You may begin.

Playing.

Dad

Dad, help me

Go

Dad, help me

Help

Help, help!

Daddy, Daddy!

Turtle to Eagle, we are

now at observation post two.

Hey, what's this? Idiot,

I'm not a trash can!

Why not yell a little more?

Who is this guy?

I'm telling you, he's from the CIA.

- CIA... This joker?

- Careful!

The entire phone system was shut down...

...and the center of this

interference was this house.

Joey, your mother told me

you didn't talk to her again.

You may not believe me, but I have

talked to people with the same gift.

Most people do not understand

them. They're afraid of them.

They find they're different,

strange, but they're not really.

Their gift is a rare

treasure for us all.

They are maybe proof that death

as we know it doesn't exist.

When I walked through the house

I noticed something strange.

There were no toys to be found anywhere.
