- Good morning. - 'Morning.

Can you spell parakeet?

Parakeet.

"B," "B,"

"I," "I,"

"R," "R,"

"D." "D."

Wrong. Try again.

Wrong!

Wrong, aunt Trish. Try again.

What's for breakfast?

My turn, huh?

Mmm-hmm.

Darling, Donna has locked herself in our bathroom.

Would you get her

the hell out of there, please?

My favorite role, the wicked stepmother.

Absolutely.

It's chilly in here this morning, huh?

Yeah. I'll check that.

You making breakfast?

Aunt Trish said it's my turn.

Shh, with that "aunt Trish" stuff.

I have been begging you since you got here

not to call her that.

It's been a month already.

Bruce, old habits die hard, you know.

Right, they do.

My mom always calls her Trish.

My grandma always called her Trish.

But aunt Pat hates it.

She thinks it's declasse.

Declasse?

Call her Pat, will you?

I'll try.

You want to help me make breakfast?

Yeah, I'd love to. Come on.

What does "declasse" mean?

Come on.

I heard mom and pop called last night.

Yeah, they did.

Donna? We're go--

just a second, Pat.

We're going to be late again,

and you still have to use my eyeliner,

which I have.

Here.

Thanks.

You look great.

Now remember, less is more.

Ok. We got eggs, sausage, bacon, dill pickles.

What will it be?

Toast 'ems.

Oh, no!

Not again.

I cook. You set the table.

Done.

A masterpiece.

A veritable Picasso.

No! He would have put your nose over here.

Can I borrow this?

You look like an eskimo.

Well, I'm a California person.

I'm not used to wearing all this stuff.

Listen, surfer girl, the week before you got here,

the temperature got above zero for about 6 minutes.

If it's this cold inside,

you're gonna appreciate all those things when you get outside.

Doesn't it ever get warm in Chicago?

You are going to regret that remark come August, young lady.

August?

I'm supposed to go home before August.

If I had my way, I'd keep you here forever.

Pat?

What are you gonna wear tonight?

Uh...

Last year's salary.

It wasn't that expensive.

Ah! Oh, yeah?

What are you gonna wear, dad?

My tux.

The one you wore to your wedding?

Yeah, the one I wore to my wedding.

Fashion's never been your father's thing.

It's a year old, dear.

I think he looks handsome in his wedding pictures.

There you are. The voice of sanity.

I agree.

Handsome, but conservative.

I agree.

Wait. Wait a minute, you're on my side, remember?

A woman's entitled to change her mind.

Ah, no, thanks. We'll take the next one.

Ok.

Who's driving me to work?

Me.

Let's go.

All aboard.

Thank you, my lady.

Vroom! Fasten your seat belts.

You better be careful, honey.

Remember what happened to narcissus.

Nar who?

Greek mythology. He was a guy

who loved looking at his reflection so much in a pond,

he fell in and drowned.

Only a boy could be that clumsy.

You got that right.

Hey!

What's wrong?

Well, every new building has its problems.

Well, we'll get those problems before they get us.

Right, huh?

Right?

Right.

Hold it, please!

Bye, honey.

Have a good day.

Thanks for the lift.

Bye, dad.

'Morning, gene. How you doing?

'Morning, Bruce.

'Morning.

'Morning, Mr. Gardner.

'Morning, Bill. What's with the heat, anyway?

Ah, I'm checking it now.

Probably a thermo on the Fritz.

Well, get it fixed and have somebody check freight elevator 15.

It's got a bit of a stutter in it.

15? Sure.

'Morning.

Helen!

Wait up!

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

Great!

I don't have to go to that creepy school today.

Oh, no.

Come on, we'll cut them off at the pass.

Our 50 elevators will be carrying

approximately 12,000 passengers a day,

swiftly and conveniently,

to our many shops, offices,

condominiums, and restaurants.

Come on!

Come on!

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

to a glimpse of the future.

Well, hi! How are you?

Fine.

Oh, I'm so glad.

It's hotter than hell out here.

There they are.

Helen!

Helen!

Look. There's that snot Donna

and her yucky little cousin.

They're late again.

Cool it, Marcie.

Hi, Donna.

Scott.

Sorry, Helen.

It's ok. Your turn on Monday.

You get 2 fun-filled weeks to pilot the enterprise.

2 weeks?

2 kids, 2 weeks, just like me.

Come on, mom.

We're going to be late.

Ok.

Bye.

In fact, we like to think we are a city,

a safe, efficient Metropolis

that will take us into the 21st century.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen...

Uh-uh, uh, one minute.

Good morning.

Tell him I'm over here.

Hi, Mary.

Hi.

Konnichiwa.

Konnichiwa.

Did you forget to pay the heating bill?

It's freezing in here.

I know, it's strange.

It's warmer outside.

Why are they moving the tods?

Takamitsu doesn't want them

intermingling with his work, darling.

Oh, yeah, is he going to be responsible

for $26,000 worth of postmodern Neo-abstraction?

Well you're the one who gave him carte blanche.

Is everything set with the caterers, the brochures, the music?

Everything is set. Calm down,

go sit down and relax.

Nothing is gonna go wrong.

Ok.

Ok.

Hey, not over there!

That's where he told us to put it.

Take it easy.

Watch it!

Got it! Got it!

It's ok. We got it.

Ok, Whoo!

Nothing's going to go wrong, huh?

Pa-tri-cia.

Trish.

Carol Anne.

You're coming to my party tonight?

I don't think so.

How come?

She can't come to our party tonight.

She has to stay upstairs and take care of Carol Anne.

'Cause her mother's having her own party tonight.

I heard her mother tell mom.

It's my party, not ours.

Listen, Pat, Pat's not my mother.

And if I wanted to come to your brother's party, I could.

Hey, Bruce.

You got a second?

Yeah, what's up, Nate?

Come here, let me show you something.

Ok.

All right. Where we going?

What? Somebody broke the mirror.

Replace it.

Oh, not just this panel.

Every panel from the concourse all the way up to the top.

Hey, Nathan.

Bill.

Mr. Gardner.

You guys have to see this.

We're right on time.

Ice. Now, how the hell could that happen?

I kind of hoped you'd tell us, Mr. Gardner.

Sally,

call the heating and air conditioning contractor.

Tell Stan to get down to my office

with a schematic for the ventilation system. Pronto.

Yes, sir, Mr. Gardner.

How come you go

to the Seaton school for weirdos?

It's for smart kids, not weirdos.

Yeah, that's why you don't go there, Pat!

Martin!

There she is.

Yeah, ok.

Thank you, Mrs. moyer.

Boo!

Seen any ghosts lately?

Leave her alone.

You a cop or something?

Hey, watch it, you little asshole.

Scott! Shut the door!

You're so declasse.

Damn.

Carol Anne.

Yeah, I know.

The kids have started teasing her.

I was hoping we could keep

her ghosts in my closet.

This doesn't make my job any easier.

That's why you get the big bucks, doc.

Funny, Deborah.

You could call in an exorcist.

Funnier.

Donna!

I'm really sorry you're not coming to the party.

I kind of hoped you--

you were...

Oh, Scott,

my knight in shining acne.

Marcie, shut up and leave them alone.

Maybe we could catch a movie tomorrow night.

Maybe. Call me.

Excuse me. Thanks.

He's still panting.

You know, I wish dusty would, like, pant that way for me.

Jeff's constantly in heat.

I practically have to muzzle him every night. It's a real drag.

Maybe he could, like, give dusty ideas?

I don't know if you could handle it.

Oh, it'll be totally radical to try.

Get a grip, girls.

This is the second piano concerto by chopin.

I'll bet all of you probably think

this was written by some old geezer

who looked like Dr. Seaton, hm?

Well, it wasn't. In fact,

Freddy chopin composed this

when he was only 19 years old,

and he'd already written a lot.

He'd been playing by ear and making up tunes

since he was 6.

At 8, he had written

his first of several polonaises.

And at the ripe old age of 12,

he was asked to play for the czar of Russia.

Pretty scary, huh?

Even for an old-timer of 12.

But in a school like this,

where we're dealing with gifted children with emotional problems,

what we have to do is open them up.

So, we try to make them aware of the fact

that other famous child prodigies shared similar problems.

It makes them comfortable

to know that they're not that different.

These kids are about to find out

that chopin was almost crippled by shyness

and used his music to overcome it.

Excuse me, Dr. Seaton,

that little blonde girl

keeps staring at the mirror

as if she sees us.

Do you think she can?

No.

But you think she's staring straight at you?

Yeah.

That seems to be one of her dubious talents,

making people believe things.

Has she ever con--

let's talk in the hall.

She's a very interesting case, our Carol Anne.

Reasonably well-balanced, extremely intelligent,

I.Q. Well into the 150s,

and one hell of an imagination.

Most bright kids do.

True, but even the brightest ones

allow adults to intimidate them

back to reality.

"Hey, dad,

there's a purple cow in our yard."

"What, are you nuts? Get out of here."

But Carol Anne's different

than most of our other geniuses.

She seems able to project her imagination,

convince others that the purple cow in the yard is real.

Apparently, she actually convinced an entire neighborhood

that it was haunted.

Yep, there's a talent.

You think she's able to create some sort of mass hysteria?

No, not really.

It's more like mass hypnosis.

As I work with her--

try to work with her, the child's impossible--

the more I'm convinced

she actually might be capable

of inducing mass hypnosis.

Have you put her under?

Only once. It was terrifying.

For her?

For both of us.

I started to experience what she was seeing.

Tangina.

My God.

He found her.

Oh!

He found her.

I'm sorry.

Stay and finish your tea.

I've got to go.

Mommy, where are you? I can't see you!

Where are you?

He's after me, mommy! He's after me!

I'm scared!

Yes, I am ready! I'm ready, mommy!

I can't find you! He's getting closer!

Who?

The man!

The ugly man!

Shh, I've got you, Carol Anne.

You're safe. Shh.

You're in your room in cuesta Verde.

You're safe. Everything's calm.

Shh.

Carol Anne,

tell me about what's just happened.

The man wanted me to lead him into the light.

It's so cold there.

I heard them talking.

He said it was my daddy's fault

because of the houses,

the houses my daddy built on their graves.

He said I had to lead them into the light.

Into the light!

Why do you have to lead them, Carol Anne?

I was born in that house.

Robbie! Robbie!

The tree's eating Robbie!

Sleep.

I'm going to count to 3, Carol Anne.

And when I snap my fingers, you will awaken.

You will not remember any of this.

1,

2,

3.

How do you feel?

Ok.

Carol Anne,

one word.

How do you feel deep down inside?

One word.

I don't know.

Well, lonely, maybe.

Lonely, huh?

Sure, why not?

It gets lonely being away from home, doesn't it?

Yeah. Aunt Tri-- Pat.

Pat and Bruce and Donna are real nice,

but I miss my mom and dad.

And even my brother.

That's very good.

What?

They way you made me look in the mirror.

I didn't make you look at anything.

That's what he meant, manipulation.

What were you looking at that made me turn?

Nothing.

Carol Anne,

you were looking at something.

I don't want to talk about it.

When you talk about things that bother you,

they go away.

No, if you talk about things, they happen.

Who told you that?

Go away!

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What happened? Wh-what broke the mirror?

A little demonstration in mass hypnosis.

She made me believe

I saw a coffee mug

fly off my desk into the mirror,

while giving you

a suggestion to smash it.

Beautiful sight, isn't it?

Mmm-hmm.

Did I ever tell you how to make a little girl laugh?

I never did, huh?

Well, it takes a lot of practice.

The first thing you got to do...

Is tickle right here in the ribs.

Hey, don't worry about

that 7 years' bad luck stuff.

That's old wives' tales.

I didn't break it.

Hey, I believe you.

But I'll tell you a secret.

If that old nerd were my doctor,

I would have done it.

I didn't.

He did.

Dr. Seaton?

No.

I don't want to talk about it, ok?

Ok.

See you, slugger.

How's Carol Anne?

I don't know.

How would you feel if some quack told you

you had supernatural powers?

Do you remember that guy who was on all the talk shows?

What was his name?

He was from Israel or someplace.

He used to bend keys, fixed watches,

took polaroids of himself in the dark.

Maybe Carol Anne--

Pat.

Please, not you, too.

Give the kid a break, will you, please?

First your crazy brother-in-law

uses her as a scapegoat

for those $250,000 collapsible homes he builds--

oh, Steven didn't--

Steven and your sister have put that poor thing through hell

with those weirdo psychics and witch doctors.

Weirdo psychics and witch doctors!

Come on!

Pat, darling,

you are the only sane person in your family.

Please.

Don't let that pompous-ass shrink

tell you she's Carrie or Houdini

or some damn thing like that.

Look, Bruce, nobody really knows

what happened there this afternoon.

Maybe we shouldn't leave the girls here alone tonight.

Yeah, well,

maybe we should forget the opening altogether, huh?

Don't be stupid.

All right, we're both being stupid.

You've got opening night jitters.

And I've got a building falling apart.

Exactly, we really needed my sister

pressuring us into taking her kid

like we needed a hole in the head.

I really don't mind a house full of beautiful women.

The more the merrier.

Yeah, then hire us a maid.

Swedish?

About 24?

5 feet 2? Talk about pressure.

Will you go get dressed!

What did I say? What did I say?

Hi, sweetie.

Can I have a good night kiss?

Ah.

Mmm.

All set.

Have a good night's sleep.

Good night.

Be right with you.

She's got the hots for him. I'm serious.

I see her every single day.

Look for her at the beginning of the day.

I'm dead serious.

She follows him all the time.

Will you...

Yeah, we--

will you do me a favor?

Hmm?

No ghost stories tonight, all right?

Gotcha.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Ok. Good night.

Bye.

My dad. I don't know what he's talking about.

Not bad at all.

Forget it.

However, after the opening...

Sandy, I know it's going to be a great party,

but I can't come.

No, I'm brat-sitting.

She's not even a relative.

Well, she's sort of a relative,

but not really.

Yeah, well,

if Scott wants to call me from the party,

I might talk to him.

Ok.

Bye.

What you doing?

Eavesdropping.

Why don't you go to Martin's party?

You know I can't.

I'll cover for you, they'll never know.

If I get caught, we'll both get in trouble.

I can take the heat.

Listen, Carol Anne,

I didn't mean what I said to Sandy on the phone.

Oh, I don't mind being "sort of a relative,"

as long as we're friends.

Good.

Takamitsu, there are some people over here

I'd like you to meet.

Hey, it looks like the show is a success, darling.

Pat! Bruce!

Like the art. Love the Sushi.

It's nice to see you.

Excuse me, Pat, come here, I gotta talk to you.

Hello, Mary.

Oh, Bruce, are you trying to save on the heat here?

Oh, I wish that were the case. You know, new equipment.

Trying to work out the bugs and all that.

Good to see you.

Hey, you look great.

Anne Klein II.

Remember, less is more.

Hey, you look great.

Look, maybe I ought to stay home with you tonight.

Just go already. I'll be fine.

How come you're taking your dad's passkey?

I'm gonna use the emergency stairs

so nobody sees me in the elevator.

You got Martin's number, right?

Yes!

I won't stay long.

Have fun. Ok.

Be good.

I will.

Hi.

Hi.

What's the matter? Is the stereo broken?

No, it's my parents.

I thought they weren't going to be home.

Tell me about it.

My father's not feeling well,

and my mom says if she can hear the party,

the party's over.

I thought you couldn't come.

Couldn't stay away from hot Scott, huh?

Marcie, back to your cage.

It's feeding time.

Psst! 50 bucks, and she's history.

You're on!

Hi, Donna.

Scott.

hey, there, hi, there, ho, there.

I can't believe I risked getting into trouble for this.

I bet we could find some trouble.

Your parents aren't home.

Yeah, sounds great. How many bedrooms you got?

Shut up, Jeff.

Carol Anne's up there.

Is anything open in the galleria?

Uh, forget it, didn't bring my fake I.D.

What?

My stepmother's having a party there. I can't go there.

You're a real killjoy tonight, aren't you?

Hey, isn't there a pool somewhere in this building?

It's locked at night.

But...

G-O-R-I-L-L-a.

That is correct.

Can you spell "pheasant"?

P-H...

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Ha!

We're back!

Leave me alone!

I've got you!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

You can't get away.

I've got you.

You can't get away!

You can't get away.

Carol Anne...

We need you.

Come here, Carol Anne.

Closer.

You can't get away. I've got you!

I've got you!

Break the mirror.

Break the mirror. Break the mirror.

I've got you!

No!

Hello?

Dr. Seaton?

Who is this?

Carol Anne needs your help.

Kane found her,

and it's all your fault.

Carol Anne, are you on this line?

This is one of your little pranks?

Hello?

Dr. Seaton?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Who was that?

A pest.

Bruce Gardner, please, on Michigan Avenue.

My little pest from the west,

playing her little tricks.

Thank you.

Jesus Christ!

What did that?

It's not a what, it's a who,

and I'm gonna nip that little prank right in the bud.

Where are you going?

To that art gallery opening we decided not to go to.

Put dinner on a low flame,

and don't forget the cilantro.

Hello, Mrs. moyer? This is Carol Anne.

Is Donna there?

Are you sure?

Ok, thank you.

Shh.

Ok, guys, there's a camera in the hallway.

We'll go in twos. I'll tell you when to go.

Run under the camera

and stand against the door.

You ready?

Go!

Ow.

Ready?

Go!

Get ready.

Let's go.

Hurry up!

Ugh!

Shh!

Watch the camera. When the red light goes off,

then go into the locker rooms.

There's always suits on the clothes lines.

Who needs a suit?

You do!

Come on.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne.

Come to me, Carol Anne.

We need you.

Carol Anne! Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Sam, the stairway alarm just went off on 70.

Anything on the monitor?

Well, it looks like that camera ain't workin' either.

Better go check it out.

Come on.

Ok, you knock on the door,

tell Burt you saw some creepy guy walking on 67.

As soon as he leaves, we'll go in.

He's coming out.

Where's he going?

He just got in the elevator.

Wait.

Ok, let's go.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna run the videotape back 2 hours,

then I'm going to change the monitor from camera to v.C.R.

Then when he comes back in,

he'll be watching 2 hours of videotape on the monitor.

Ok, let's go.

Have you got a key for that?

Yeah. Why?

Beer!

I'm not going to steal--

I got money.

No.

Yes...

No, I--

yes.

No. Yes.

No.

Yes?

Carol Anne.

I'm your friend, Carol Anne.

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne.

We need you to lead us into the light.

Carol Anne!

Lead us into the light.

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne!

Come on.

Let's go.

Shh.

Come on.

Come on.

Wanna see real panic?

Whoa!

Pretty impressive.

This is the police!

We have you surrounded.

Come out with your hands up and your pants down!

Hello, this is your camp director.

Jeff, quit pissing in the pool!

oh, shit!

Carol Anne!

Don't be afraid.

We won't harm you.

We love you.

You are the only angel

who can lead us into the light.

We would never hurt you.

Never!

Don't run away from me.

We need you, Carol Anne.

Lead us into the light.

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne.

Help me!

Let go of me!

Help!

Carol Anne?

Carol Anne?

Donna! Help!

Help me!

Donna! Quick!

Help me! Donna!

Help!

Holy shit!

Donna, help!

Carol Anne!

Donna, help me!

Carol Anne!

Help me!

Carol Anne! Just hold on!

Please help me!

Grab on to me!

Donna, pull!

Pull her! I got her! I got her!

Hang on! Carol Anne!

Pull her! Hold on!

Help me!

Oh! Carol Anne!

Don't let go.

Hold on to her!

Pull!

Pull!

Carol Anne! Hang on!

Hold on--

Scott!

Scott!

Oh!

Donna!

I love that! Love it! Yeah!

Smoking more now and enjoying it less?

Thinking more and enjoying it less.

Pat, there's something wrong.

Tell me about it.

Takamitsu offended everyone

he talked to tonight.

Excuse me, Mr. Gardner.

I just got a call.

There's a bunch of kids partying up in the pool

who claim they're guests of your daughter.

Excuse me.

Ok,

so you all left the party together

and they let you in here,

went to the security room to turn off the camera,

and then where did they go?

I don't know where Scott and Donna went.

We didn't hurt anything. All we were doing was swimming.

Where was Carol Anne through all this?

Not with us.

Ok. Thanks, guys. Take the kids back to 56-e.

I'll talk with their parents later.

Right, Mr. Gardner.

Come on!

My parents are going to ground me till I'm 40.

Hey, it'll give you time to study.

You might get something besides auto shop this year.

Donna.

Scott?

Donna.

They...

Scott!

They--they got Donna.

Who? Who's got Donna?

They got Donna and they got Carol Anne.

Who's got Carol Anne?

They got 'em.

Who, damn it, who?

What happened?

He just came up through the ice.

What ice?

The ice in the...

Pool.

She's gotten to you, too.

It's a suggestion, Mr. Gardner.

A posthypnotic suggestion.

They got 'em. They got Donna and they got Carol Anne.

They got them both.

They've got 'em.

They got 'em.

Aunt Trish, help me!

Help!

Aunt Trish, help me. Please!

Help me!

Carol Anne? Carol Anne!

Please help me!

She's mine.

Bruce!

Please help me.

Oh! Help me!

Bruce!

Help me!

Hang on, I'm pulling.

Hang on.

Help me!

Aunt Trish, help!

Carol Anne, hold on!

I've got you.

Hold on!

Help!

Help me!

Hold on, Carol Anne! We've got you!

Pull!

Pull!

Grab hold of her!

I've got her.

Pull! Don't let go!

Get away!

That's not Carol Anne!

Damn you!

Stay back.

Stay back. He's got the girls

and now he wants you.

What are you talking about?

The preacher Kane.

He knows that as long as there's someone on this side that loves them,

you can get them back.

How did you know that wasn't Carol Anne?

What surprised me, dear,

is that you didn't.

Who the hell are you?

I'm one of your brother-in-law's

weirdo psychics.

Shh.

Carol Anne and Donna are not in that room.

Well, some goddamned thing is.

Oh, yes.

Anger...

Rage...

Evil,

they are in that room.

Can you feel the cold?

He's devouring the heat,

the energy.

He's gathering his strength.

We must find the girls

before he becomes too strong.

If Donna and Carol Anne aren't in that room,

then where are they?

The other side.

Before we can find the girls,

we must find out where they entered.

Where did Dr. Rasputin take Scott?

Excuse me, Dr. Seaton?

Excuse us.

Do your stuff.

Ok, Scott,

I want you to look at the light.

Look at the light.

Look at the light.

Security.

Burt, this is Gardner.

Get your guys together, please.

My daughter and niece are roaming the building somewhere,

and I'd like them found as soon as possible, ok?

What?

Aw, damn it!

Yeah, ok.

Terrific.

First, the heating, then the electrical problems...

Now the security monitors.

Oh, Bruce, this is really happening, isn't it?

Depends on who you want to believe.

Tweedledum or tweedle-dumber.

Scott...

You and Donna are at the swimming pool.

You're leaving.

Where are you going?

The security room.

W-we saw Carol Anne on the monitor.

Which monitor?

She was in the garage.

The puddle!

Hands came out of the puddle!

They grabbed us, the hands!

Keep her away from me!

Keep her away from me!

Shh.

What puddle?

What puddle, Scott?

What puddle?

In the garage.

In the garage.

In the garage!

They're between dimensions,

behind reflections,

behind mirrors, stealing images.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

The light! The light!

It's so cold!

The light, it's so cold!

Carol Anne,

listen to me.

Find your way back to your room.

You must go back to your room.

He won't let me.

I'm so cold!

I'm so cold!

Find Donna and go back to your room.

Run, Carol Anne, run!

Enough! Stop this stupid sideshow.

Oh, it's a great act.

Carol Anne creates the fire,

and you feed it.

You made this happen.

You made her talk about him,

you made her remember him.

He was lost.

You brought him here.

Ludicrous.

It's your choice...

Tweedledum...

Or tweedle-dumber.

Tell us what to do.

Pray that Carol Anne heard me and listens.

We must get up there as fast as we can.

This is stupid, idiotic!

What's the matter with you people?

Can't you see that Carol Anne's behind this?

She's making us believe this is happening.

It's--it's all a hypnotic--

it's about as stupid and idiotic as you hypnotizing

that coffee cup through the mirror.

That's good.

He'll try to trick you.

He'll try to separate you.

Don't let him.

Your love, your bond,

your caring for these two children,

is our most valuable weapon.

Let me take the chances.

What's that?

Some sort of mystical amulet?

A tool of your trade?

It was a gift

from a good friend,

a powerful medicine man

who walked among the spirits

and returned.

There's power here.

I only pray it is enough.

Because Kane still thinks he needs her.

He was insane when he lived,

and now, in death,

that insanity

has become the beast.

He wants Carol Anne now...

Before she grows up.

Youth is a strong life force.

Innocence is pure life force.

We lose strength

as we lose our innocence.

You see,

innocence is the only gift we're given in life.

All else must be fought for.

In that gift is purity.

In that purity...

Lies strength.

That's a lot of crap that doesn't mean anything.

Shut up, Seaton.

Unlock it.

Can you spell "gorilla"?

"G," "o,"

Carol Anne?

"R," "I,"

"l," "l,"

"a."

That is correct.

Now try "pheasant."

Look at the mirror.

"H,"

"e," "a,"

"s," "a,"

"n,"

"t."

That is correct.

Can you spell "parakeet"?

Carol Anne?

"P,"

Carol Anne?

"R,"

Carol Anne?

Try--

come back to this side, Carol Anne.

Come through the mirror.

We want you to come join us.

We miss you.

You can come back through the mirror, Carol Anne.

Please, Carol Anne, come back through the mirror.

Come back to this side, sweetie.

Carol Anne?

Carol Anne?

Come to me, Carol Anne.

Don't be frightened.

Don't be afraid, sweetie.

Come to us.

Won't you join us, Carol Anne?

Carol Anne?

Carol Anne?

Carol Anne?

Carol Anne, come here!

No!

Tangina!

Don't just stand there!

Get over here, for Christ's sake!

I got you, baby.

It's ok, it's ok.

Carol Anne!

You're all right.

Carol Anne. Where is she?

Carol Anne is drowning!

She's drowning! Where? Where?

Carol Anne!

Donna...

Carol Anne!

You're safe now.

Carol Anne!

Where? Carol Anne!

She's drowning!

What does it matter anymore?

Who the hell goddamn cares?

Baby...

Carol Anne!

Take care of her for a minute, please.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Shh. It's ok.

Carol Anne is drowning!

She's drowning.

You've got to get a hold of yourself.

I can't deal with this anymore.

Bruce, I love you and Donna.

That's our family.

Let's get out of here.

Let Dr. Seaton deal with Carol Anne.

She's your niece.

I don't care.

I can't take these sick little games anymore.

I never should have let Steven and Diane send her to us.

Carol Anne!

Bruce!

Bruce, please!

Carol Anne!

Bruce!

Dad! Dad!

Relax, Donna.

Relax.

You're safe.

You're just having a bad dream.

We're all having a bad dream.

Where's my dad?

I want my dad.

Lie here and relax,

and I'll go get your dad.

Mr. Gardner?

Mrs. Gardner?

Hello?

Carol Anne.

And they thought I was her.

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Bruce!

Bruce!

Carol Anne!

Carol Anne!

Bruce!

I saw her.

You think you saw her.

I saw her, damn it!

Your daughter's upstairs,

a shivering, emotional wreck.

Then you run out on me to chase after that evil little brat again.

Don't you understand?

Don't you see what she's doing?

It's just like Dr. Seaton said.

Nothing Seaton said

explains what happened tonight.

Come on!

The man!

He grabbed my hand!

Remember what Tangina said.

Open!

Oh!

Help! Help us!

Help!

Help us!

Oh, God!

Outside in!

Help us! Help!

Help!

Outside in!

Tangina gave this to me.

She gave this to us!

She's trying to save us.

She's trying to bring us through this!

It's a lie!

It's not true, any of this!

It's not true. You're a liar!

None of this is true!

You're a liar!

She's trying to get us through, Pat.

She's trying to save our lives!

Just hold on, Pat. Just hold on.

Just hold on, baby.

Just hold on.

No!

Who are you?

What do you want?

You!

Bruce!

It's not cold anymore.

She said we could do it!

She said we could beat them!

It's over, baby!

It's over, darling!

Oh, I want to believe that.

Oh, believe it!

Believe it!

It's finished,

and we did it together.

Look at you.

You two are pitiful.

You know what?

No, I don't want to know. I understand these things.

Anyway, everybody went home.

And it went fine. I locked up.

You two can read about it tomorrow in the society columns.

Newlyweds.

Oh! Donna's been looking for you. She called.

She and Carol Anne are upstairs with that shrink,

what's-his-name from the school.

Maybe, you ought to talk to him, honey.

He's probably never met anybody with a garage fetish.

Manana, y'all.

Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, how are you tonight?

I, uh, have been doing some plumbing.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

What inconvenience? We didn't have a problem.

Well, if there was a problem, I'm really very sorry.

But the hot water's gonna be on very soon.

Well, I had to say something. I mean, look at us.

I didn't get much use out of last year's salary, huh?

I think you look great wet.

Well, you can lie like that anytime you want to.

I usually do.

I know.

I can't wait to get upstairs,

stretch out in bed, and...

Act normal.

Uh, getting upstairs sounds great.

What have you got in mind?

Packing up everything that belongs to that little brat

and sending her home to my sister.

It wasn't her fault.

Yes, it is!

Oh, my God!

Outside in!

What?

Damn it! Outside in.

That's what Tangina said.

He controls the inside, but not the outside.

We can still get to him! Come on.

Don't look down.

All right, hold onto this.

No matter what happens,

don't let go.

Ok.

Fucking son of a bitch!

Bruce!

Carol Anne.

Carol Anne!

Go away, Pat!

He doesn't want them!

He only wants me!

You don't love me.

You don't want me here!

My parents don't love me either!

They sent me away!

Kane loves me! Kane wants me!

Give me Tangina's necklace,

and you can have Bruce and Donna back.

They're your family.

I'll go with Kane.

Your mom and dad do love you!

They love you very much,

and I love you, too!

It's hard for me to show it sometimes,

but I do love you!

No! Save your family!

They're the ones who mean something to you, not me.

That's not true!

You are part of my family!

You and Donna are like my children!

I love you, Carol Anne,

and I'll do anything to prove that!

You've got to believe me!

No! Go away!

Carol Anne!

Go away!

Bruce?

Bruce?

Bruce!

Bruce!

Donna?

Carol Anne?

Tangina!

Bruce!

Oh, God!

Where are you, Kane?

Where have you taken my family?

I want them back!

Tangina said you can't take them

as long as someone here loves them.

I love them,

and I have this... To protect me.

The necklace!

Give me the necklace!

No.

The necklace!

No!

Oh!

Uh...

Oh, God!

Oh!

Kane!

Give her back her family.

You don't need them!

You don't need Carol Anne!

I can lead you into the light!

I have the knowledge

and the power!

No!

Tangina, don't!

Tell me how to use the necklace,

so I can save all of you.

Thank you, Pat,

but this is the way it has to be.

Say goodbye to Carol Anne for me.

Tell her I'll always love her,

and that her nightmare is over.

Tangina!

Tangina.

Tangina, wait!

Where are they?

Pat!

Bruce!

Bruce.

She did it.

She saved us.
