THREE PEOPLE DIED

OF AN OVERDOSE.

HEY, THAT'S WHA THE BOX WANTED.

THE BOX?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW,

THE TELEVISION.

IT TOLD ME TO--

IT TOLD ME TO KILL HIM

AND HAND OUT HIS STUFF.

THE TELEVISION TOLD

YOU TO KILL THE PUSHER?

DAMN STRAIGHT.

I WOULDN'T HAVE

DONE IT OTHERWISE.

I LIKED THE GUY.

DO YOU MEAN YOU SAW A SHOW

ON VIGILANTES OR SOMETHING?

NO.

IT WASN'T NO DAMN SHOW.

THE BOX WASN'T EVEN ON.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M NOT CRAZY, LADY.

THE BOX DID TALK TO ME.

IT'S BEDTIME,

SWEETHEART.

GOOD NIGHT.

DO YOU WANT ME:

TO COME TUCK YOU IN?

NO, THANKS.

[ZOE]

STOP PLAYING AROUND NOW.

WE HAVE TO GO TO BED.

I'M THE ONE WHO IS GETTING

INTO TROUBLE, O.K.?

ZOE...ARE YOU TALKING

TO SOMEONE IN THERE?

JUST PINOCCHIO.

OH...O.K.

ZOE, YOU SHOULDN' TELL PEOPLE I TALK TO YOU.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE THEY'LL

TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU.

THEN I'LL NEVER

GET TO BE A REAL BOY

AND BE YOUR BROTHER.

YOU REALLY THINK WE'LL

BE A FAMILY SOMEDAY--

YOU, ME, AND MOM?

SURE. YOU KNOW

I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU.

BUT WE CAN'T BE

TOO SURE ABOUT MOM...

NOT AS LONG AS:

DAVID'S AROUND.

I KNOW.

I CAN MAKE DAVID GO AWAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

PINOCCHIO.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN' BECOME A REAL BOY

IF YOU KEEP:

DOING BAD THINGS.

GETTING RID OF DAVID

WOULD BE A GOOD THING,

THE SAME WAY PUNISHING THA B*TCH AT SCHOOL WAS A GOOD THING.

[FOOTSTEPS]

PINOCCHIO.

WHERE ARE YOU?

[FOOTSTEPS]

ZOE!

[GASP]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP?

GETTING PINOCCHIO.

I THOUGH HE WAS IN YOUR ROOM.

NO. HE'S IN

THE BASEMENT.

WHOA. I'LL GET HIM.

YOU GO TO BED.

NO. THAT'S O.K.

I'LL GET HIM.

NO. IF YOUR MOTHER

COMES HOME, FINDS YOU UP,

SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME.

GO TO BED.

GO ON.

I'LL GET HIM.

O.K.

VERY FUNNY.

GET BACK TO BED, ZOE!

GOD--DAMN IT!

O.K., ZOE. HERE I COME.

YOU BETTER GET TO BED.

UNH!

[DOOR CREAKING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

EXCUSE ME, I NEED--

MOMMY!

ZOE!

ARE YOU O.K.?

[CRYING]

OH, MOMMY, IT'S DAVID!

WHAT HAPPENED?

LOOKS LIKE YOUR FRIEND

TOOK A NASTY TUMBLE

DOWN THE BASEMENT STEPS.

IS HE O.K.?

WE'VE NOTIFIED

HIS PARENTS.

IF YOUR DAUGHTER

HADN'T DIALED 911,

I DON'T THINK

HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT.

[SIREN]

O.K.

ALL RIGHT.

PINOCCHIO, DID YOU MAKE

DAVID FALL DOWN THOSE STAIRS?

ANSWER ME!

DID YOU MAKE DAVID

FALL DOWN THOSE STAIRS?

NO.

YOU'RE LYING,

AREN'T YOU?

YOU KNOW, MOM WOULD HAVE TO

SPEND A LOT MORE TIME WITH US

IF SOPHIA WASN'T AROUND.

ZOE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

GETTING BUGS.

I FORGOT.

I HAD TO BRING ONE

FOR SCIENCE TODAY.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO

STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL TODAY.

NO. I'M O.K.

YOU SURE? REALLY?

REALLY.

O.K.

MMM. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

[ENGINE STARTS]

ZOE.

I FOUND WALTER:

IN THE TRASH.

DID YOU THROW HIM AWAY?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?

[CRICKET CHIRPING]

A CONSCIENCE:

FOR PINOCCHIO.

SO HE WON'T DO

ANY MORE BAD THINGS.

WELL...GOOD LUCK.

IN THE ORIGINAL:

ITALIAN VERSION,

PINOCCHIO ACTUALLY

HAD A VERY BAD TEMPER,

AND HE SQUASHED THE CRICKE DURING ONE OF HIS TANTRUMS.

COME ON.

DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME

ABOUT DAVID'S ACCIDENT?

YOUR MOTHER SAYS THAT HE

WAS VERY SERIOUSLY HURT.

YOU MUST HAVE SOME

FEELINGS ABOUT THAT.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

DR. EDWARDS?

I'M WITH A PATIENT,

KELLY.

I KNOW, BUT YOU SAID YOU

WANTED TO PERSONALLY SPEAK

TO THE DELIVERY MAN

WHEN HE GOT HERE.

OH, RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

[BEEP]

EXCUSE ME, ZOE.

I'LL BE BACK

IN A MINUTE.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

NOW HE THINKS:

I HURT DAVID.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW.

NO, I DON'T!

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SLAMMED

THE DOOR IN HIS FACE.

ARE YOU SURE?

WHO ELSE COULD I HAVE BEEN?

WHO DO YOU THINK?

OH, NO.

IT WASN'T ME.

IT WAS YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

SHUT UP.

DID YOU SEE ME?

SHUT UP!

IF YOU WEREN'T THERE, HOW

CAN YOU BE SO SURE IT WAS ME?

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

YES, HI.

I'D LIKE TO CHECK ON THE

CONDITION OF ONE OF YOUR PATIENTS.

THE PATIENT'S NAME,

PLEASE?

DAVID KAMINSKY.

HE'S BEEN UPGRADED

TO STABLE.

OH, HE IS?

OH, THAT'S

WONDERFUL.

[BEEP]

OH, SHOOT. THAT'S

MY OTHER LINE.

HOLD ON--

ACTUALLY, WAIT.

JUST TELL ME,

WHAT TIME DO VISITING

HOURS START TOMORROW?

8 A.M.

GREAT. THANKS.

[BEEP]

HELLO?

[DR. EDWARDS]

MRS. GARRICK?

DR. EDWARDS, HI.

COULD YOU COME BY

MY OFFICE TOMORROW?

TOMORROW?

WELL , ACTUALLY I HAVE

A FULL CASELOAD,

AND I WAS GOING TO GO TO

THE HOSPITAL TO VISIT DAVID.

WELL, THIS

IS IMPORTANT.

WELL, IF THERE'S

SOMETHING WRONG,

I'D LIKE

TO KNOW NOW.

WELL, I'D REALLY LIKE

TO DO THIS IN PERSON.

[SIGHS]

ALL RIGHT.

I SUPPOSE I CAN:

REARRANGE A FEW THINGS

AND GO SEE DAVID

TOMORROW NIGHT.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO

STOP BY YOUR OFFICE

ON MY WAY TO WORK.

WILL YOU BE IN:

THAT EARLY?

O.K. GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. WELL,

I'LL SEE YOU THEN.

GOOD NIGHT.

NOW YOU'VE DONE IT.

IF DAVID TELLS MOM

HE WAS PUSHED,

SHE'S GOING

TO HAVE ME PUT AWAY.

I COULD TALK TO HIM

FOR YOU.

ADMIT THA IT WAS ME, NOT YOU.

YOU'D DO THA FOR ME?

YOU'RE MY SISTER,

AREN'T YOU?

WE'RE FAMILY.

BUT HOW?

GIVE ME LIFE.

ME?

YOU HAVE:

THE POWER, ZOE.

YOU ARE THE BLUE FAIRY.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

CUT MY STRINGS.

YOU PROMISE TO BE GOOD?

I PROMISE.

YOU PROMISE TO BE GOOD?

I PROMISE!

[SNIP]

[SNIP]

[SNIP]

I'M FREE! FREE!

COME ON!

LET'S GO SEE DAVID.

[DOOR OPENS]

PINOCCHIO, WAIT FOR ME!

OVER HERE, ZOE!

THIS WAY!

PINOCCHIO?

PINOCCHIO, WHERE ARE YOU?

PINOCCHIO!

PINOCCHIO!

PINOCCHIO!

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[ALARM BEEPS]

[RING]

HELLO?

JENNIFER?

IT'S DAVID'S MOTHER.

MRS. KAMINSKY?

I'M GOING

TO BE THERE:

AT VISITING HOURS

TOMORROW.

WHAT'S WRONG?

[SOBBING]

IT'S DAVID...HE'S GONE.

[SOBBING]

BUT I--I JUST CALLED

A FEW HOURS AGO.

THEY SAID:

HE WAS STABILIZED.

IT WAS VERY SUDDEN.

THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

HE'S GONE.

MY BABY.

[SOBBING]

OH, NO...

OH, NO...

[JENNIFER SOBBING]

I OFTEN VIDEOTAPE

MY SESSIONS:

TO DO A MORE THOROUGH

CASE STUDY LATER ON.

DURING YOUR:

DAUGHTER'S LAST VISIT,

I WAS CALLED OUT OF THE

OFFICE FOR A FEW MINUTES.

[CLICK]

I HOPE:

YOU'RE HAPPY.

NOW HE THINKS:

I HURT DAVID.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

NO, I DON'T!

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO

SLAMMED THE DOOR IN HIS FACE.

WHO ELSE COULD I HAVE BEEN?

OH, NO.

IT WASN'T ME.

IT WAS YOU.

SHUT UP.

SHUT UP!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

SHUT UP!

I WANT YOUR PERMISSION

TO HAVE ZOE COMMITTED.

NO.

NO.

BUT SHE'S OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS

TO HERSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

SPARE ME THE LECTURE,

DOCTOR.

I DEAL WITH DANGEROUS

PEOPLE EVERY DAY.

I KNOW WHAT EVIL

LOOKS LIKE.

I SEE IT IN THE EYES

OF MY CLIENTS,

AND I'M TELLING YOU,

I DON'T SEE I IN MY DAUGHTER!

NOBODY SAID ANYTHING

ABOUT EVIL,

BUT SHE'S A VERY

DISTURBED LITTLE GIRL.

SHE DIALED 911.

SHE SAVED DAVID'S LIFE,

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

IF YOU DON'T HAVE

HER COMMITTED,

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO

NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES.

OF WHAT?

YOUR SUSPICIONS?

IF YOU BREACH ZOE'S

DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP

WITHOUT SOME VERY

STRONG, HARD EVIDENCE,

I WILL USE ALL:

OF MY LEGAL RESOURCES

TO HAVE:

YOUR LICENSE PULLED!

[DOOR SLAMS]

HI.

THERE'S SOME DINNER IN THE

OVEN IF YOU ARE HUNGRY.

HOW ARE YOU:

HOLDING UP?

O.K.

WHERE'S ZOE?

WHAT?
