The Ring Two Page #3

my son has a medical condition

that his doctors don't even understand.

This little girl

had the same condition.

Now, if I knew what caused that,

it could save his life.

All I can say is you

should speak to the Morgans.

They're dead.

They both killed themselves.

Look out. Early birds.

Marty Savide,

Stevens Northwest Realty.

- Hi.

- Come in.

I thought I put 12.30 on the ad.

For the open house.

- How'd you get around the gate?

- Well, I just...

Ah! Who cares? Come on.

Make me an offer

over asking and it's yours.

OK, then, don't mind me.

My first try with these things,

took off flying.

There we go.

What do you think?

A little colour will really

turn the place around.

It's got a wonderful history.

Working horse ranch.

How about that?

And there's even this cute little

tree house thing way up in the barn.

Is the place being

sold unfurnished or?

The previous owners

didn't leave anything behind?

Well, there were some things

that were left, after they...

...moved.

We're storing all that

in the basement.

There's a basement?

Well, you betcha.

No extra charge.

Right this way.

If you don't mind,

I'm the welcome wagon.

Gotta open up the gate for everyone.

So please,

just make yourself at home.

Do you know what happened

to them? The previous owners?

I believe they bought

a condo in Phoenix.

Really?

Her mother.

I'll take it from here.

Hello, Aidan, I'm Dr Temple.

How are you feeling?

Aidan?

You know,

I'd really like to help you.

Can you tell me

how you're feeling?

Where's my mommy?

Well, she'll be here soon.

She's on her way.

I want Mommy.

Yeah, I know you do.

Your mommy

wants to be with you too.

So where is she?

She went home.

She didn't think that you

were gonna wake up so soon.

I wanna go home too.

Well, you will.

We just have to...

We just have to get you...

You're freezing.

I wanna go home to Mommy.

Well, we need to talk about her.

Can you tell me

about Mommy a little bit?

She loves me.

I know that she does.

She went looking for me.

She tried to find me.

It means she loves me.

I don't understand.

Can I go home now?

No, honey,

you're not well enough.

Can I go home?

No.

I'm sorry.

Then I have

to show you something.

It won't stop.

I'm gonna walk you

just around the corner here.

Her name was Evelyn.

She came to us

eight months pregnant.

- Did she have her baby here?

- Yes.

And you arranged

for the adoption?

That's right.

- And the father?

- There was none.

Half the mothers

that come to us say that.

So, what did she think

got her pregnant?

Evelyn wasn't well.

She had been having problems

during the pregnancy:

Hallucinations, visions.

She believed some thing

had come for her baby

from the waters of the world

beyond this one.

I'm sorry. Did you say water?

Well, we all envision

the afterlife differently.

For Evelyn,

it's just what she believed.

As you might imagine, she suffered

severe postpartum depression.

She blamed her troubles

on her child.

So she tried to kill it.

All babies are a challenge.

But Samara, she never cried.

Never.

Except when her mother

would try to bathe her.

Then she'd scream like it

was the end of the world.

It was the screaming that woke us.

Evelyn, don't!

Evelyn!

Evelyn, stop!

She was trying

to drown the baby.

The baby was taken from her,

of course.

Evelyn was institutionalized.

And all those pictures

she'd been collecting,

they finally made sense.

Did she say why she did it?

She felt she had to kill

her baby to save it.

I'm here to see a patient.

Her name's Evelyn.

- I don't know her last name.

- Evelyn?

That's right.

Evelyn's expecting you.

Every few years, one of you

comes to see Evelyn.

She's like a freakin'

patron saint or something.

Got a problem with your kid,

don't you?

Something wrong?

That song. I know it.

Yeah. They all do.

Hey, Evelyn.

You were right as rain.

You got a visitor today.

Hope she's some help

to your troubles.

Ten minutes.

My name's Rachel.

But you know that.

Some days I

sort of have a feeling.

A feeling?

This is about your child.

It's...

It's about yours.

Samara.

They don't dream, you know.

The dead don't dream.

Look, something's happened

to my son.

- You have to sleep to dream.

- It has to do with your daughter.

And the dead never sleep.

They wait...

...and watch for a way back.

But they never sleep.

- That's why dreams are safe.

- I'm sorry, I just...

I don't have a lot of time.

Please, I need your help.

I have to know.

Can you tell me?

Why did you try

to kill your baby?

Why?

Because my baby told me to.

Just like yours will tell you.

And you have to do it.

- You have to send it back.

- What?

They stopped me.

- Don't let them stop you.

- What?

Listen to the voices.

What are you talking about?

Because it's our fault. We did it.

Yes. We did it. Yes.

It was you.

It was you! You did it!

What did I do?

Evelyn, that's enough.

I love my son.

Come on. It's all right.

I'm sorry, ma'am,

that's enough for today.

Let's go.

What did I do?

You let the dead get in.

Let's go.

What should I do?

Be a good mother.

Listen to your baby.

Hey.

Shouldn't you be at the hospital?

No. I'm here

waiting for my mommy.

OK.

Well, you can't really leave

till the hospital says it's OK.

You were very, very sick.

You're all right now?

The cable setup at my house,

the TV needs to be

on channel three.

She loves me.

She loves me not.

- Thank you, Max.

- Sure.

She loves me!

Look, Mandy!

I think I'm gonna puke.

Why don't you do something

productive with your life?

Say, Billy,

if you like fish so much...

Your mom loves you, you know.

She loves you a lot.

You'd tell someone if you

weren't sure about that?

Like, if she'd been

hurting you somehow.

Did she ever treat you

like you're someone else?

I'm not somebody else.

I'm Aidan.

- I know.

- We don't need anyone else.

That's right.

We don't need you,

that doctor or anyone else.

What are you doing?

I was just gonna

take a picture of you.

No.

- It'll be for your mom.

- No.

Why not? What's wrong

with taking your picture?

I'll tell you what's wrong

if you promise not to take it.

But that's only if you promise.

Fine. I promise.

So, Aidan, what's the story?

We're happy when we're sad

We're always feeling sad

Hello?

- How are you?

- Terrible.

That's why we're happy

when we're sad

Max?

Are you here?

- You're home!

- God.

What are you doing?

I thought you were at the hospital.

No. I'm here, Mommy.

- What did you say?

- I said I'm here.

Is Max here?

No.

But his coat...

He went away.

You wanna watch some TV with me?

I just have to get

something from the car. OK?

I love you, Mommy.

Max.

Goldfish must have water

in order to exist.

But goldfish hate cats.

While on the other hand,

cats hate water.

Are you sleeping, Rachel?

I am. She makes me sleep

all the time now.

Just keep sleeping, Rachel.

So she can't hear us.

It's the only way.
