Premonition Page #2

Why don't you go upstairs

and let's get some clothes on.

You wanna go upstairs and get dressed?

- Where are the girls?

- The girls are fine, dear.

The girls are fine, honey.

Don't worry about the girls.

This isn't right.

- What isn't, sweetie?

- No, everything's fine.

Do you need to go upstairs

and get more sleep? Or...

No, no, no, I don't need any more sleep,

and I don't need to wake up, either.

Everything's gonna be fine.

- No, Mother, everything is not fine!

- Okay.

- Something is really, really wrong.

- Okay.

I'm...

He's not dead.

Hi, baby.

Hey.

Hi.

Sorry I wasn't awake when you guys got up.

Grandma said we had to let you sleep.

No, baby. You can always wake me up.

What's your sister doing?

- Swinging.

- Yeah?

- I think she's sad.

- Yeah.

We're all a little sad right now.

Hi, baby.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, baby.

Baby, what happened to your face?

Baby, talk to me.

How did you get these cuts?

Who did this to you, baby?

- Did what?

- The cuts! The cuts on your face.

There's no cuts, Mommy.

What are you talking about?

She's perfect, like a beautiful princess.

Oh, God, come here. Come here.

Just hold onto me.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay. Come here.

It's gonna be all right.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Everything's gonna be all right.

- Mommy?

- Yeah?

What was it like when Daddy died?

I don't know, baby. I wasn't there.

So how did you know he died then?

Are you all right?

What if this is a mistake?

What do you mean, "a mistake"?

People just don't die one day

and are okay the next day, that's all.

It's not a mistake. Jim's...

- Okay, Mom, did you see inside the casket?

- No, I didn't see, dear, but it doesn't...

Okay, well something is seriously

f***ed up with this situation.

Linda? We need to go in the church now.

Come on, dear.

No, you need to take the kids inside.

- Well, why don't you come inside with us?

- Just take the kids inside.

Go ahead, go ahead with the kids. Linda.

Linda?

Here she is.

Hello, Mrs. Hanson.

I just want you to know

that everything's on schedule.

I need for you to open up the casket.

No, no, I don't think

that would be a very good idea.

Open up the casket, God damn it.

Open it up! Open it up!

- Open it! Open it! Open it!

- Mrs. Hanson!

- What?

- I beg you to let this go.

- Don't do this to me.

- Mrs. Hanson, I have to warn you.

- There was a problem with the body.

- What kind of problem?

They didn't want to tell you the way

he died. The didn't want to tell you.

- What about the way that he died?

- There was a deep cut, a severing.

- What kind of severing?

- Well, it...

- Oh, my God.

- No! No!

Get out of the way! Stop it! Let go of me!

Let go! Let go of me!

No!

No!

No!

Jim left this world a beloved person.

His friends spoke about his kindness,

his laugh,

his graciousness,

his helpfulness and consideration

to everyone around him.

But his greatest devotion was to his family.

His "girls" as he liked to refer to them.

His lovely wife, Linda.

His precious daughters,

Megan and Bridgette.

Mom?

What?

- Who is that?

- And what better tribute is there to any man.

- Who?

- Her, that woman.

Than the reflection of his own love

in the hearts

- of the loved ones he left behind.

- I don't know, dear.

- And so, dear friends...

- Linda?

- It's okay. It's okay.

... let us pray.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be

done on earth as it is in heaven.

Wait. No, please, wait. Wait.

- I'm sorry.

- Stop.

- How do you know my husband?

- I just thought that after we talked and...

- We talked?

- Well, yeah, yesterday when...

Yesterday, I...

- You don't remember?

- No.

I've never met you before in my life!

- I'm just gonna go, okay?

- Please, talk to me.

You have all my sympathies,

and your girls, too.

Who are you? Please. Don't just...

"Lithium carbonate. Take two tablets.

No refills remaining.

"Dr. Norman Roth. Do not take with alcohol.

"Drowsiness and... "

"Dr. Norman Roth. "

Dr. Norman Roth.

Mommy?

Hey, why don't you guys go downstairs

and visit with Grandma and Aunt Annie?

No.

I'm sure it'd be fun.

What are you looking for, Mommy?

Mommy needs someone to talk to, baby.

Why don't you talk to us?

Baby, I love talking to you,

but this is grown-up talk,

and Mommy needs some help, okay?

Come on, baby, please go downstairs.

Thank you, baby.

Thank you for being so good.

All right. Physicians.

Dr. Roth.

You've reached the offices

of Dr. Norman Roth.

We are currently closed.

Our office hours are Monday through

Friday, 9:
00 a. m. To 5:30 p. m.

If this is an emergency,

please hang up and dial 911.

Do you guys want some tea

or coffee or anything?

Can I get you something?

Maybe we ought to think

about getting the girls to sleep, huh?

- Oh, yeah.

- Been a long couple of days.

Yes, it has.

All right, girls.

Come on with Auntie Annie.

We're gonna go upstairs

and we'll get your jammies on, okay?

Then I'll read you a story?

Yeah?

Make sure you brush your teeth.

Come in.

Good evening, Mrs. King.

Hi there, Annie.

Hello, Linda.

Hello.

I'm Dr. Roth, remember?

No, I don't. I...

Annie.

- Okay, girls, let's go upstairs.

- Mom? What's going on?

Let's say good night to Mom.

And get our jammies on.

- Honey, please don't be angry.

- No!

- Please. Please don't be angry with us.

- Mommy!

Wait a second. Annie.

Annie, what are you doing? Annie!

Linda, your family is worried about you.

Your family cares about you,

about your situation, about the girls.

What are you doing?

Mom, what are you doing? Annie. Annie.

- Honey, what else could we do?

- What?

Just tell us what happened

to Bridgette's face.

Mom, I don't know what happened

to Bridgette's face.

Don't you see? That's what I mean.

Mom, I would never do anything

to harm my child!

- For the girls' sake.

- Get away from me!

Baby, it's okay. God damn it!

I didn't do this. I didn't do this!

- Linda, stop it!

- Get off of me!

No, you can't do this to me!

What are you doing?

- Baby, it's okay, baby!

- Mommy's all right!

No, no, baby! No, no!

It's okay, baby! It's okay!

God, look at what you're doing!

Stop it!

No, it's okay, baby!

Mommy's sorry! Mommy's very sorry!

Stop! Stop it!

Mom! Mom! Stop it!

I'm sorry.

Sir! Sir! Sir!

Obviously, she's never

been committed before.

The husband

was in a fatal car crash on Wednesday.

I told her about it on Thursday.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.

Wednesday?

That's strange.

She showed up in my office on Tuesday

claiming he was already dead

or was gonna be.

She said he was gonna die

before the accident?

Yeah.

Are you sure it was an accident?

Hello, Linda.

Please don't do this.

I just wanna go home to my girls.

Please don't do this.

Please, just let me go home to my girls.

- Please don't do this.

- We'll have time to talk about that tomorrow.

Please, don't do this.

Please, please don't do this. Please.

Please don't. Don't do this.
