had a woman named Grandier,

but they never sent her to you.

She moved back to New

Orleans a few months ago.

We knew that.

You say your

lady was British?

Well, that's what she said.

We have no record

of her at immigration.

I told you,

her ID was fake.

Her references were fake.

We went back to the

woods behind your house.

I had it photographed

from top to bottom.

You saw the tree?

- Mmm-hm.

- The babies?

You mean the carvings?

They're not carvings, that's,

that's where she

took the babies!

She takes them--

Mr. Sterling, we

didn't find her body.

What?

Jeep tracks everywhere,

like you said, but--

Of course there

were Jeep tracks!

I hit her with the

Jeep, I ran her over,

I hit her full force, I mean...

The Jeep must have been

going 50 miles an hour!

I know, that's--

I killed her!

She was dead!

I saw her.

She's dead.

Did you feel her pulse?

No, I didn't feel her

pulse, I'm telling you--

I know what you're

telling me, Mr. Sterling,

you also told me she was flying

at you through the trees.

- I know how that sounds.

- You do?

It's the truth.

You seem like decent people.

But what you're

saying makes no sense.

I know you've had a

terrible experience,

not sure just what,

but it's obvious--

We're not making this up.

I don't know what

I can do to help.

There is no body, no crime.

Your son is okay, thank God.

But there's no evidence that the

woman you describe ever existed.

I suggest you go to a hotel.

I can send a man with you.

Get some rest, and

then, if you want,

you can talk to

the psychologist.

That's all right.

Thank you.

You've been really helpful.

What are your plans?

Go back to the house,

pack our things.

Get the hell out of here.

Then what?

Daddy'll be home soon, honey.

Then we're going.

Shh.

Shh.

Really?

Really, is that so?

You're kidding!

It's okay.

It's okay, honey.

It's okay.

Shh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

- I need the child.

- No!

Before the blood changes!

No!

It's okay, honey.

You're safe now.
