Ever since I moved in I
knew something wasn't right.

20
00:04:59,366 --> 00:05:03,235
First, it was piddling little
things like losing your car keys,

21
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:06,836
and they'd turn up in
a really obvious place.

I opened the fridge

24

one day and all the
food had gone rotten.

anything wrong with it. Changed the plug.

coming to the conference.

learn to live with your kind of gift?

- Not everyone can.
- That's true.

It used to be a nightmare. I
went right off the rails at one stage.

69
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:41,951
But, to be honest, I've discovered,
if you learn to deal with stress levels,

70
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:43,580
you keep the spirits at bay.

sharp, spiky abnormalities like these

disorders or cerebral lesions.

85
00:09:45,285 --> 00:09:48,881

all the key characteristics

of fantasy-prone personality.

87
00:09:51,691 --> 00:09:57,927

who are fantasy-prone met the criteria...

in percentages, are you?

going on here by looking at charts

91

or chewing on numbers,
like accountants.

92
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:24,891
What do I know about
this person? This medium.

93
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:31,154
Well, I know she's a fragile,
courageous person who endured

94
00:10:31,231 --> 00:10:34,633
a terrifying near-death
experience and survived.

95
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:39,895
Whatever her mind conjured
up, it helped her to hold on.

96
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:46,836
I'll tell you what I think, why I'm
constantly fascinated by people like her.

97
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:53,745
The big, unsolved question in science at
the moment is, "What is consciousness"?

98
00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:58,817
Well, maybe people like Alison,
with their schizoid personalities

99
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:01,759
and abnormal perceptions,
might hold the key.

100
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,388
Her gift is, in
fact, a gift to us

101
00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:10,165
because it may be the clue to questions
about reality we've barely even asked yet.

your beliefs as the people you decimate.

open that my brains have fallen out.

333
00:36:47,983 --> 00:36:49,364
We haven't. I haven't.

334
00:36:49,441 --> 00:36:52,001
- Do you think I'm an idiot, Robert?
- No.

335
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:57,243
Look, I have tried so hard to
be kind, to be helpful to you.

336
00:36:57,849 --> 00:37:01,047
But I can't let your feelings
have a hold on my life any more.

337
00:37:01,786 --> 00:37:02,605
It's not fair.

338
00:37:02,629 --> 00:37:05,052
I'm not asking you to.
I never asked you to.

339
00:37:05,123 --> 00:37:08,491
Look, if you were screwing
her, I wouldn't mind. I'd be glad.

340
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:12,592
But this is a betrayal.

341
00:37:13,465 --> 00:37:15,058
Don't you see that?

342
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:18,261
It's not betraying me,
you're betraying Josh.

343
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:24,634
The good memories
that we have of Josh...

344
00:37:25,610 --> 00:37:27,511
you just abused them.

345
00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:33,040
No.

346
00:37:34,886 --> 00:37:36,718
I have to go. I have
to get out of here.

347
00:37:36,788 --> 00:37:40,555
Don't go, Jude,
please, don't go like this.

348
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,889
- Why?
- Please.

349
00:37:44,963 --> 00:37:48,263
You know I wouldn't hurt you for
the world. What can I do? Tell me.

350
00:37:51,569 --> 00:37:56,872
If Josh means anything to you, you'll
promise me you won't see her again.

351
00:37:58,843 --> 00:38:02,041
I do. I promise.

352
00:38:32,544 --> 00:38:35,605
- You signing autographs?
- Sorry?

353
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,239
You signing autographs, now?

354
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:40,251
I think you've got me mixed
up with Cameron Diaz, mate.

355
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:45,355
- Can I look at that?
- Yes.

356
00:39:17,555 --> 00:39:20,115
- Get out of my way.
- Would you like to defend Alison?

357
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:22,160
- Or yourself perhaps?
- She trusted you.

358
00:39:22,227 --> 00:39:24,389
What evidence did you
find of a haunting, Dr Bridge?

359
00:39:24,495 --> 00:39:25,929
You think you've
proved something?

360
00:39:25,997 --> 00:39:28,432
You haven't. You conned
her with a cheap trick, that's all.

361
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:30,026
You're the fraud.
You're despicable.

362
00:39:30,050 --> 00:39:32,046
Don't play the high and
mighty, Robert. Come on.

363
00:39:32,070 --> 00:39:33,650
You've written about
this stuff, and you

364
00:39:33,674 --> 00:39:35,438
think it's a load of
bullshit, just like me.

365
00:39:35,506 --> 00:39:38,032
No, I'm not like you, Sandra, or
whatever the hell your name is.

366
00:39:38,109 --> 00:39:39,338
It's Nichola.

367
00:39:39,444 --> 00:39:41,640
The difference is, Nichola,
I want to find the truth.

368
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:43,351
You don't. You just
want to sell newspapers

369
00:39:43,375 --> 00:39:45,192
and you don't care who
you hurt in the process.

370
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:47,913
Alison hurts people, weak,
gullible people, not me.

371
00:39:47,986 --> 00:39:50,649
If this wrecks her reputation
and stops her, I'm glad.

372
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:54,159
- Go to hell.
- Unquote. Thank you.

- Oh, go away, Robert.

- Go away!

Welcome to my world.

00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,880
- I can see you're busy.
- Yes, I am.

384
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,491
Would you care for a wee dram?

385
00:41:03,161 --> 00:41:08,361
I'd love to see what happens when Dr
Robert Bridge gets completely rat-arsed.

386
00:41:09,834 --> 00:41:12,429
- Do you think this is going to help?
- It's gonna help me.

387
00:41:13,871 --> 00:41:14,959
Why did I come here?

388
00:41:14,983 --> 00:41:17,308
How the hell should I
know? I'm not psychic.

389
00:41:22,547 --> 00:41:25,244
I'm not psychic.
I'm not psychic.

390
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:28,912
It's no use getting upset. We may as well
face up to the fact that we've been had.

391
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,923
- She made fools of us.
- No, she made fools of them.

392
00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:36,519
You were suggestible and so
was I. We both saw and heard things

393
00:41:36,594 --> 00:41:39,073
- that couldn't possibly have existed.
- No, I know what I saw...

394
00:41:39,097 --> 00:41:40,463
Alison, come on.

395
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:43,858
- It's there in black and white.
- Well, I don't care.

396
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:48,463
'Cause I saw that man bending
over me. I felt that pillow on my face.

397
00:41:48,573 --> 00:41:52,010
It was make-believe.
She made us believe.

"To invent a ghost and see if a
medium would nevertheless see it."

400
00:41:58,082 --> 00:42:00,060
She must have picked up
on something that was there.

401
00:42:00,084 --> 00:42:04,112
There were no ghosts. There
couldn't possibly be any ghosts.

mum lived in there up until two months ago

or heard anything.

lived there except for her."

Have you finished?

409
00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:35,279
Why can't you cope with reality?

410
00:42:35,353 --> 00:42:38,983
Why can't you do something
to help yourself? I came here...

411
00:42:39,090 --> 00:42:41,082
Yeah, why? Why did you
come here, Robert, why?

412
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:44,129
I told you what Brendan Page said
about removing stress from your life

413
00:42:44,195 --> 00:42:45,939
- and you ignored me.
- Do you know what? Just go.

414
00:42:45,963 --> 00:42:49,661
Just go away. Go home. Because
I don't want you here, Robert. Go.

415
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:53,670
The truth is, you don't
want to be helped, do you?

416
00:42:53,771 --> 00:42:57,197
You don't want the
spirits to leave you alone.

417
00:42:57,221 --> 00:42:59,233
They won't leave me alone!

418

Your dead son
won't leave me alone!

419
00:43:08,486 --> 00:43:12,787
I didn't approve of what Sandra did
or how she did it, but you know what?

420
00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:14,568
It's what I've been
trying to tell you all along.

421
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:16,618
Josh is lost, he's
in limbo, Robert,

422
00:43:16,727 --> 00:43:19,356
and the only person who
can help him move on is you.

423
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:24,391
No. What keeps him
here is your insanity.

424
00:43:24,469 --> 00:43:28,998
What kind of father are you, Robert? Did
you go to him in the night when he cried?

425
00:43:29,507 --> 00:43:32,807
Well, he's crying now.
He cries all the time.

426
00:43:32,877 --> 00:43:36,160
He just cries and cries
and I can hear him here.

427
00:43:36,184 --> 00:43:37,440
Shut up! Shut up!

I think I made him mad, Josh.

431

I think I made
him angry, Joshie.

00:44:00,071 --> 00:44:03,974
I think our professional arrangement
has come to its natural end.

- I want it to end.
- No, you don't.

I do. It's over.

435

Don't reject him.

I'm not rejecting
him. I'm rejecting you.
