Over Her Dead Body Page #4

so you could read

the first paragraph...

of each one and then just quit.

That's... That's great.

No, this is, um...

This was really sweet of you.

Thank you.

Should we get started?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Oh, before we start, I've been

doing a little research.

Okay.

Some of the things you've said

are pretty unbelievable...

and I think I know

how you're doing it.

Really?

Normally, in these readings...

the person that's getting read

gives out unconscious signals.

Like you could

suggest something...

and then I'll

shake my head no or nod...

and I don't even realize it,

but you pick up on it...

and then you get closer

and closer...

until you actually get

something.

All right,

well, that makes sense.

How do you...

How do you wanna deal with that?

Well, I'm gonna concentrate

really hard...

on not giving you anything.

I mean,

keep my body very still...

not change my voice. Nothin'.

Okay. Sounds good.

Uh, let's start.

Okay.

You're gonna talk like that

the whole time?

Yes.

You know what?

I'm still picking up a slight

bit of emotion from you...

so what I think

we should do...

is turn our chairs back to back

so I can't see you at all.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Better?

- Yes.

You know what?

To be safe, I think we should be

in separate rooms.

Oh, but then

I'm gonna have to shout.

Yeah, all right. Now you're

just messing with me, right?

Yes.

That's pretty stupid, huh?

Yes.

You wanna

go get something to eat?

Yes.

So, you bring

all your psychics here?

Well, you really should know

the answer to that.

But this is a cool place

that you picked...

I'll give you that.

Kate showed it to me.

You know,

I'm getting the feeling...

like she wants you

to be happy again...

like when you used to come here.

I'm getting that feeling, too.

You are so screwed.

- What?

- I didn't say anything.

Oh. Right.

Traitors.

Lying, cheating,

red-headed hussy.

I'll wring her neck.

Throw her in front of a car,

throw her down some stairs.

# She had blonde hair,

blue eyes, too #

# And she had

a little itty-bitty #

# Hootchie-cootchie-coo #

You. You bastard.

Whoa. Hey, evening, Miss.

You can hear me?

Unfortunately.

Are you psychic?

No, dead.

Good. What happened?

Drunk driving accident.

Oh, so backing over me

with your truck wasn't enough...

to get you to stop

drinking and driving?

I'm not proud.

What are you doing here?

Same as you.

Takin' care

of unfinished business.

Are you sure

that's why you're here?

That's what the lady told me.

- The lady in the white room?

- 'Course.

Why, what'd she tell you?

None of your business.

Did she give you any hints?

How... How specific was she?

Ah, you didn't talk to her,

did you?

What'd you do, piss her off?

Unfinished business.

Well, that's it.

I got to protect Henry.

Yeah.

Wh... Hey, hey!

You're welcome.

Hey. Can I help you?

Hi. Um, I'm sorry.

I called, and no one answered.

Um, my friend gave me

your number in yoga class.

Well, I'm just having

a really bad day.

My... My friend died,

and we had a fight.

Oh, okay, okay.

Sure, sure, sure, come in.

Come in. It's fine.

Thank you.

Okay. Come right this way.

I'm sorry,

I didn't catch your name.

Oh, it's Kay... eleen.

- Kayleen?

- Mm-hmm.

Great.

Um, why don't you come this way.

Uh, just have a seat.

Do you want a drink or anything?

No, I'm fine.

Okay, great.

Make yourself comfortable.

Okay.

So, you talk to dead people?

Well, I can't promise results...

but, yes,

I have had some success.

Comes in nice and clear, huh?

No mistaking it?

Sometimes, yeah.

Great. Can't wait.

All right, so the first thing

I'm gonna have you do...

is give me your hands.

Uh, you...

Uh, we probably shouldn't...

because I'm, uh,

coming down with a cold.

Okay. Um, great.

Okay, this is what

we'll do then.

Um, why don't you concentrate

on your friend, okay?

And let's try to see

if she can come through to us.

- You're the psychic.

- Great.

Yeah, wow,

I'm getting something.

Ashley Clark, you have made

a mockery of the gifts...

you've been given.

Uh, Kayleen?

You speak falsely for the dead.

We have been sent here

to give you a warning.

Stop now or suffer

a terrible fate.

Is this some sort of joke?

This is no joke.

We see and hear everything.

We saw you drop the tray

of meatballs last night...

and still serve them.

We saw what you did

in the shower last night...

and it's nothing

to be ashamed of...

but we still saw.

And we see

what you're trying to do...

to Henry Mills.

I... I'm just...

You, of all people...

should know the consequences

of defaming the dead.

Leave Henry Mills alone...

or you will never

find peace again.

You will lose your possessions,

your friends...

and eventually your life.

This is the only time

we will visit you.

Oh, I must've dozed off.

Did you contact my friend?

Ashley, are you okay?

Please go.

Well, you look

like you've seen a ghost.

Can you go now, please?

Just go.

You'll never guess

who I ran into.

- Who?

- Ashley.

Ashley...

I know so many Ashleys.

The psychic.

Oh, that Ashley.

- What did she say?

- Well, it was really weird.

I mean, she got these images,

really specific stuff.

Really? Wow.

Will she get a message

from Kate?

- Like what?

- Huh?

- What?

- What?

Anyway, we're, you know,

gonna try it again.

That's great.

That's... I really...

I feel like

she can help you, Henry.

Come on, Ashley!

Ashley, come on!

She's not home?

Uh, why?

Are you here to meet her?

No, we had, um, an appointment.

Wait a second.

Are you Henry...

the-the veterinarian?

She mentioned me?

No, it's just

a really lucky guess.

I'm good like that.

I'm Dan, the catering partner.

- Right. Hi, Dan.

- Hi.

Yeah, we were supposed to meet

an hour and a half ago...

at this restaurant, but

she's not answering her phone.

I know.

I've been calling her all day.

Do you mind if I try?

Knocking?

Please. No, please.

Help yourself.

Maybe later you can come

jab an elevator button...

a hundred times

after I've already pushed it.

Ashley!

Ashley, it's Henry.

Are you there?

Henry, I'm sick!

I tried to call.

I might be sick

for a really long time.

Okay, do you need anything?

No. I'll call you

if I ever feel better.

Ashley?

Ashley!

Got more than you did.

Hey, it's Ashley,

psychic-slash-caterer...

leave an awesome message.

Good morning. It's Henry.

Just thought I'd check in

since you didn't...

# This little light of mine #

sound so good last night,

see if you're all right.

- So, um, you all right?

- # I'm gonna let it shine #

Morning again.

It's, uh, Henry again.

That's some cold.

I hope you didn't get it...

when we went out

the other night.

Anyway, I was gonna...

you know, come by and drop off

some soup or something...

so, um, maybe I'll see you.

# Shine, let it shine #

# Even if it burns your eyes #

# This light of mine is mine #

- # And I'm gonna let it shine #

- It's Henry.

The sandwich was gone, so,
