of your car, Mrs Collins.

Oh! Oh, yes, the car,

it's a blue 1978 Thunderbird.

Just a moment, please.

Our service truck will be

there within 30 minutes.

Thank you.

They'll be here in a half hour.

That truck scared you, didn't it?

No.

Oh, my God.

What the hell is he doing?

Hey, man. This don't look so good.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You know, they've got a lot of crazy

mothers running around out there.

I know where you're coming from.

Tell you what, we're going to check

this out real quick-like, first.

Cos I ain't about to be

gettin' my butt shot off.

Listen, Dizzy.

You take this one for yourself.

I've just remembered, I ain't

supposed to be working tonight.

I'm on unemployment.

Naw, man! You comin' with me.

Come on, get your

butt outta here, man.

You wanna walk or something?

Aw, sh*t.

It's some old crazy-ass

drunk woman and a kid.

Hey, Momma.

We're here to fix your car.

My Mommy isn't feeling very well.

Mrs Collins.

I'm sure you're

wondering why I'm here.

Uh, please hear me out.

I'm here to help you, Mrs Collins.

You've been feeling

strange lately, Barbara.

Confused.

This confusion has been transmitted to

you from another time, another place,

beyond human knowledge

and understanding.

There are forces, inhuman ones,

out of this world.

And they are unspeakably evil.

You are the key to their

power on this planet.

They sought to use you

once in their evil game.

And they succeeded.

This will not happen again.

But you must do exactly as I say.

Last night, you were

taken by violence.

You are pregnant, Barbara.

Pregnant with a child conceived

out of their hatred for this world.

This child must never

see the light of day.

Uh... Mrs Coll...

Mrs Collins...

Mammy's little baby likes

short'nin'... short'nin'

Mammy's little baby likes...

short'nin' bread

Hello, Mrs Collins.

We haven't seen you

around here in ages.

- Hi, Lucille.

- How you been doing?

Fine, thanks. Is the doctor in?

Why, sure. I'll tell him you're here.

My, don't you look nice?

Doctor? Mrs Collins

is here to see you.

OK.

He'll be right out.

OK, Jimmy. You listen to me.

See what happens when you go playing out

there on that field without your shoes on.

Never again, huh?

And I'll tell you something.

As you were a real brave little guy,

I'll see if I can talk your mommy into

buying you an ice cream on the way home.

OK? How about four ice creams?

Excuse me, Mrs Moore. I have to

have a word with my ex-wife.

Hi, Barbara.

Hello, Sam.

How've you been doing?

I need to talk to you.

OK.

- Come up to my office.

- Fine.

Afraid we're a bit overcrowded here.

This is as near to an office as I get.

- What do you need to talk to me for?

- You're the only one I can trust.

The only one you can trust.

Ah, why do you trust me?

I'm just an overworked doctor,

sweating my guts out day and night

in this under-equipped dump.

Hell, you wouldn't even let

me into your fancy hospital

when I tried to visit you

after your operation.

You prefer to be surrounded by

beautiful people who take good care

- to keep their noses way up...

- Please!

- ...above any of the sh*t down here.

- Please, let me talk.

- The princess has come slumming.

- I'm here because I need help.

Desperately.

- I need help from you, Sam.

- Now, take it easy, OK?

All right? It's all gonna...

Hey, hey, hold it. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Now, what is it? Mm?

Let's hear what it's all about.

Come on. OK?

Tell me, and I promise

to do what I can.

- Well...

- Yes?

Evil people are staring at me.

People are watching me.

There are evil people

doing things to me.

Now, look, honey...

Hey, Mom! Mom? Are you home?

Why are you still here?

Why, yes, I am.

Where's my ol' whipping boy?

You will say, "Where is my mother?"

Are you crazy? Where is she?

For once, once in your life,

you will be polite.

Now say it.

Say it.

Where is my mother?

What have you done with her?

Why, nothing.

Nothing. I've done nothing to protect

her, dear, don't be alarmed.

God damn you, you tell

me where she is or...

Don't you talk to me like that!

How dare you talk to me

or anybody else like that?

I got your number the moment

I walked into this house.

The moment I got here,

I recognised you for what you were.

You little monster. You see,

unfortunately, I had one of my own.

I know how to treat them.

So...

You be careful.

You watch out.

Or you'll be sorry.

Nowhere, if you really must

know where your mother is...

...she left a while ago.

With a very nice, elderly gentleman.

So, you're pregnant?

Yes.

I seem to remember you told me many

times you didn't want any more children.

I don't. But something

unbelievable happened.

It all took place

without my knowledge.

I can't have this baby, Sam.

- You've got to help me get rid of it.

- So you want an abortion.

- Yes.

- And you want me to do it.

Uh-huh.

- When?

- Right away.

You quite sure?

- Yes.

- God.

Why does everything

have to happen to you?

Your accident, the wheelchair.

Now you want an abortion.

The problems with Katie.

Everything began with Katie.

I've tried to ignore

the whole situation.

I pretended it didn't exist.

But that's not possible any more.

- I know now I've got to do something.

- All right. I'll do what you want.

But I'm afraid the rest

will have to be up to you.

Hey, man, what are

you doing here, man?

Oh, my God!

Come out, you old bastard. Come out!

Where are you, old man?

Where are you?

Come out, you bastard! Come out!

Come out. Come out.

Come out!

Bastard. Bastard!

Come out!

What is that?

Ah! Help!

Mrs Collins.

I've been sent here to protect you.

No one... no one can

hurt you any more.

Play a game!

Well, Jane, it's... almost over.

I shall be leaving soon.

- With Katie?

- With Katie.

Jerzy... where do you go to?

My home, where I come from.

It's a lovely place,

beautiful and peaceful.

Beautiful and peaceful.

- Where would that be?

- Far away.

Beyond the imagination.

It sounds wonderful.

Jerzy, I'd like to go with you.

I'm afraid no one may enter

there except the children.

I remember.

But, you know, I've been

around children so long,

I think there's something

child-like about me.

I... I've never met a man like you.

Ever.

You've been of great

help to me, Jane.

Thank you.

Let me go now! No! Let me go!

No, no, no!

No, stop! No!

Katie is a very lonely little girl.

She has a great need to recover

the affection she feels is lacking.

I don't think she fully realises

what happened, now or then.

I'm afraid she's going to

need extensive therapy.

There's no telling for how long.

Mommy? Mommy, I know you're there.

Please, don't leave me here.

I'll be good.

I'll be good, I promise!

Take me home, Mommy, please.

Katie? Katie, is that you?

Answer me.

Why are you so scared of me, Mommy?

Why did you leave me

in that terrible place?

I know I've been really bad lately.

But that's all over now.

I want to hug you, Mommy.
