The Autopsy of Jane Doe Page #3

---

- It's stuck.

Help me with this.

Help me with this!

The old sycamore fell.

- F***!

- The office. The landline.

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know.

Oh, thank god.

- Harding county

Sheriff Department.

- This is Tommy Tilden.

It's an emergency. We need help.

- Sorry, I've trouble hearing...

- put Burke on the line.

- This is Burke.

- Sheldon, this is Tommy.

You better get over here now.

- Hello? Tommy, I can scarcely hear you.

Your voice is breaking up.

- Sheldon! Sheldon, we're

trapped down here, godda..

Sheldon, please...

- Tommy.

- What the f*** is going on?

It's her.

Everything was fine until Burke

wheeled her through that door.

- Son...

- Until we cut into her.

- You're talking about a corpse.

- These things we found

inside her

her injuries, those marks.

You can't say she's just a body.

We should have left.

I wanted to leave.

Dad!

Oh.

- No!

Dad! Dad!

Dad?

- Oh, sh*t. Oh..

- Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

- Careful, careful.

Oh, god! Ohh.

Help me up.

- Yeah.

- I'm fine.

They were Grey.

Her eyes.

It had her eyes.

- That's what I've been trying

to tell you.

It's her.

- Oh, no, that's not possible.

- No, her body

those things we found inside,

those were impossible.

Whatever the hell

happened in here..

We are way past possible.

It's her.

- So, what do we do?

Rapid decomp.

- Everything we took out of her.

That's almost like her body

was preserving it.

- Must get her

to the crematorium.

- F*** it.

- Jesus!

Behind you, the extinguisher.

The pin. Pull the pin.

No.

The elevator.

- Come on.

No, no, no, no! F***!

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on!

Go, dad. Come on.

Come on.

Emma.

Oh, no!

Oh, no, no!

Oh, my god!

Oh, no! No!

No!

- Oh, my god.

- No!

Oh, no, no, no!

- Austin..

Austin, the elevator.

Come on, now. Come on.

Come on, son.

F***!

F***!

- I told her

to come back for me.

I told her to come back.

- No, you didn't do this.

You shouldn't be here.

All this is my fault.

- You couldn't have known.

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's what

everyone told me..

About your mom.

You know why

I used to call her ray?

Ray of sunshine.

She thought it was corny

as sh*t.

But it stuck.

If I'd have known,

I would have helped her.

You know that, don't you?

I mean, she was always

so bright.

So happy.

To think she was carrying around

all that

pain, all that unhappiness

every day.

I should've seen it.

But I didn't.

She had to deal with it alone.

All these mistakes..

My mistakes..

And you had to pay for them.

- Why hasn't she killed us yet?

- Well, it's not for

want of trying.

- Well, look what she can do..

If she wanted us dead.

When we cut into her..

She tried to stop us each time.

It's like there's something

she doesn't want us to find.

- You wanna go back in there?

- If we stay here, we're dead.

If we could just figure out

how she died..

Maybe we can figure out

how to stop her.

Dad?

- Right behind you.

Keep moving.

Austin?

Ah!

- Dad?

- No!

- Dad?

Dad. Dad.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Okay.

Brain... Is normal.

- There's got to be something.

All her other organs

are scarred.

- What the f***?

- What is it?

- That's why we couldn't find

cause of death.

- She's still alive.

- Alive?

We lit her on fire.

We took out her heart.

- There's something,

some energy.

Call it what you want, something

is keeping her going.

- What the..

Leviticus.

- Let me see that.

Leviticus.

Twenty. Twenty seven.

- If these are Roman numerals

then they'd be..

- "Any man or woman

"who consults

the spirits of the dead

"shall be put to death

for they are.."

- Dad.

Seventeenth century.

North east.

New England.

"They are a witch

and their blood shall be on

their own heads."

It fits.

- Witches are a myth.

- You can't keep denying.

- There were no witches

in Salem.

They were kids. Young girls.

Falsely accused,

wrapped up in hysteria

one pointing to the next,

who pointed to the next

but they were all, all innocent.

Only... They didn't hang her..

Or burn her at the stake.

They tortured her..

Mercilessly.

- The ritual.

It didn't work.

- What if..

What if

the ritual,

performed on an innocent

accidentally created the very

thing we're trying to destroy?

Everything they did to her.

Everything we've done to her.

She can feel it.

She wants us... To feel it too.

That's why

she's keeping us alive.

This is her revenge.

This is her ritual.

- But why us?

- Why the Douglas'?

Why anybody?

We're on her path, that's all.

We were just stops

along the way.

Those who survived

got rid of her

and buried her

as far away as possible.

- That hasn't stopped her.

- Because no one

got close enough.

No one could see

what we have seen.

She's still suffering..

And it won't stop.

It won't stop until..

- Until what?

Dad, until what?

- I won't fight you.

But please..

Please don't hurt him.

Let me help you.

- Dad!

Dad?

No!

Dad!

Dad.

No.

- Please..

Please..

Please..

- Tommy!

- Austin! Are you there?

- Burke?

- Anyone there?

- Burke.

- Austin!

Austin! Are you down there?

We're sawing down a tree

blocking your door.

We'll be with you

right now, alright.

Austin!

- I'm here!

- Almost there.

You'll be alright.

Just open up the door now.

- It's stuck.

- Try again, son.

- I can't. It won't.

- Should open up now.

- It won't.

- Should open up.

- I'm trying. It's stuck.

- Open up.

- I can't.

- Open up!

- I can't.

- No obvious signs

of forced entry.

Looks an awful lot like he...

- I've known his family

20 years.

Whatever it looks like,

that ain't it.

- Well, it's going to be

another nice one out there.

Today's our fourth

straight day of sunshine.

Looking at a high of 75.

Beautiful outdoor weather

but remember to use

your sunscreen.

- What the hell happened here?

- What do you want to do

with her?

- Get her out of here.

- Already got a car waiting.

There's that, uh, funeral home

over in Ruxton.

- Get her out of my county.

Take her over to VCU.

Let ward Lamon deal with her.

- Now, baby, listen

that was one time.

Hell, yes, that's a promise.

- And you know what Hebrews

chapter four says

"the word of god is powerful."
