ZOE. WHERE IS SHE?

ALREADY IN BED.

WHY?

IS SOMETHING:

WRONG?

HOW DID THESE:

GET MUDDY?

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S HOW THEY WERE

WHEN I FOUND THEM IN

ZOE'S ROOM THIS MORNING.

ZOE, WAKE UP.

WAKE UP.

HUH?

WHERE DID YOU GO

LAST NIGHT?

WHAT?

WHERE DID YOU GO

LAST NIGHT?

NOWHERE.

DON'T LIE TO ME.

YOUR SLIPPERS AND

JAMMIES ARE ALL MUDDY.

ALL RIGHT.

I WENT OUTSIDE.

IN THE MIDDLE:

OF THE NIGHT?

WHY?

ZOE, WHY?

I WANTED TO GO:

TO THE HOSPITAL, O.K.?

TO SEE DAVID.

DID YOU?

DID YOU?

NO. I COULDN'T FIND IT.

I GOT LOST,

SO I CAME HOME.

ARE YOU SURE?

ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN' GO TO THE HOSPITAL?

NO. HONEST!

BUT I THINK PINOCCHIO DID.

THAT'S IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT I SHOULD HAVE

DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

DON'T YOU MOVE.

WAIT! WAIT!

BUT I--

DON'T PUSH ME, ZOE!

I HATE YOU!

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

[DOOR CREAKS]

[KNIVES SCRAPING TOGETHER]

ZOE?

ZOE...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

WITH THIS, SWEETHEART?

HMM?

COME HERE.

I WAS PROTECTING YOU

FROM PINOCCHIO.

OH, SWEETHEART.

PINOCCHIO:

CAN'T HURT ME.

HE CAN'T HUR ANYBODY.

ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE

HIM BACK TO JAIL?

YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU

MORE THAN ANYTHING

IN THE WHOLE:

WIDE WORLD, DON'T YOU?

MM-HMM.

NO MATTER WHAT.

O.K.

OHH.

SOPHIA, ZOE'S NOT GOING

TO GO TO SCHOOL TODAY.

SO, IF YOU'D KEEP HER HOME

AND KEEP AN EYE ON HER?

IS SHE SICK?

MMM...I'M NOT SURE.

BUT I'M GOING

TO TALK TO BARRY

ABOUT WORKING OUT OF THE

HOUSE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

OH, AND I'M GOING TO MAKE

ONE STOP AFTER WORK,

BUT I STILL:

SHOULD BE HOME EARLY.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU BELIEVE:

IN EVIL?

IT'S A JOB REQUIREMEN IN MY BUSINESS.

RIGHT.

BUT DO YOU BELIEVE

IT CAN BE A...

YOU KNOW, A TANGIBLE,

NATURAL FORCE?

JENNIFER,

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

I THINK I KNOW WHO

GOTTO WAS PROTECTING.

HIS SON.

I THINK HE FOUND OU WHAT HIS SON WAS DOING,

AND HE STOPPED HIM THE

ONLY WAY HE KNEW HOW.

THAT'S WHY ALL THE MURDERS

STOPPED AFTER THAT NIGHT.

NOT BECAUSE:

GOTTO WAS ARRESTED,

BUT BECAUSE THE REAL

KILLER WAS DEAD.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE

THAT A CHILD THAT YOUNG

IS CAPABLE:

OF THAT MUCH EVIL?

THE SON OF SAM...

HE CLAIMED HIS NEIGHBOR'S

DOG TOLD HIM TO KILL.

AND THE GUY:

IN THE TEXAS TOWER,

HE HEARD VOICES:

IN HIS HEAD.

I MEAN, WE JUST ASSUME

THEY WERE INSANE,

BUT WHAT IF THEY REALLY

DID HEAR THOSE VOICES?

WHAT IF SOME KIND OF DEMON OR

EVIL FORCE WAS TALKING TO THEM,

MANIPULATING THEM,

MAKING THEM:

INTO KILLERS?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DO PERSONALLY:

BELIEVE IN DEMONS.

BUT I'M NOT SO SURE THAT ONE

WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF A DOG.

WHY NOT?

WHY NOT A DOG...

OR A DISEMBODIED

VOICE...

OR A TELEVISION, OR...

A PUPPET?

[TURNS VACUUM OFF]

HOW ARE YOU DOING

TODAY, HONEY?

O.K.

CAN I HAVE:

SOME JUICE?

SURE.

A LITTLE RESTLESS

TODAY?

I'M WORRIED

ABOUT PINOCCHIO.

I'M SURE YOUR MOM'S

TAKING GOOD CARE OF HIM.

NO. I'M WORRIED

HE MIGHT HURT HER.

THAT'S O.K.

HE'S GOT A CONSCIENCE

NOW, REMEMBER?

YOU FOUND I FOR HIM.

AAH!

ZOE?

ZOE?

ZOE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

ZOE?

AAH!

IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

[MICHAELS] DO YOU REALLY

IS CAPABLE:

OF THAT MUCH EVIL?

[EDWARDS] SHE'S A VERY

DISTURBED LITTLE GIRL.

NO! JUST DON'T!

IT'S O.K.!

I GOT THE POKER:

HOW LONG WILL:

SHE BE LIKE THIS?

HARD TO SAY.

WE'LL KEEP HER

CALM AND SEDATED

UNTIL SHE COMES AROUND.

SHE'S NOT DANGEROUS.

SHE KILLED YOUR NANNY

AND YOUR BOYFRIEND,

AND SHE ALMOS KILLED YOU.

I KEEP TELLING YOU

IT WASN'T HER.

THE ROOM WAS DARK.

YOU WERE SUFFERING

FROM A SEVERE CONCUSSION.

I KNOW WHAT I SAW.

TELL ME SOMETHING...

DID YOU SEE THE PUPPE MOVE BEFORE OR AFTER

YOU WERE HI IN THE HEAD?
