Ladies and gentlemen, we have the show you want to see.

You like it, don't you?

What are you doing, Jesse? Rodents have diseases.

Don't worry, Beck. He can't get out of here.

Wash up and get dressed. Doc announced the start of the show ten minutes ago.

Okay.

There's the Lord of the Knives!

The amazing Gilbert Inferno!

You want some more? Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Jesse Hickock,

the incredible Lightning-Boy.

Struck by lightning as a child, he has the unique gift of talking to the dead!

It's right here on our stage!

Ladies and gentlemen, I know people are distrustful.

We want to believe, but we need proof.

Lightning-Boy, show 'em what you got!

Evelyn, are you here?

Hello?

No, Evelyn knows someone here.

You.

I have an aunt named Evelyn. What about her?

He wants to talk to you.

Can use the phone, that's how we always talk.

I can see her silver hair. He likes to help people.

You guessed it, he's a doctor.

Her husband was also a doctor, before he died.

How do you know that?

You can request a personal consultation. My nurse is ready to schedule you.

Boy, put on a show, leave the rest.

Now they're back together. Your aunt doesn't want you to worry.

Should I be worried? Aunt Evelyn's not dead.

He was here on Tuesday, which is why you know about her husband.

Sorry, ma'am.

Evelyn doesn't know why they killed her.

He hadn't done anything to them.

You're sick!

Even the phone company they still mess up a call, right?

This is not entertainment.

Who else is trying?

Evelyn?

Anybody home?

People thought a raven carries the souls of the dead to the other realm.

But sometimes something bad happens, the soul takes with it a great sadness

and can't find rest.

Sometimes, just sometimes, the raven brings the soul back to right the wrong done.

Evil will never be righted.

My soul will not find rest Until we're together again.

Don't you ever stop?

- How are you, Sarah? - I'm ready to go. How about you?

I thought it would tire me out, so I could fall asleep.

How many did you make?

I gave up counting at 200.

- It's not normal. - Tell me about it.

What more could you want, sleep or food?

Food. Without a doubt, the food.

Did I get the wrong answer?

Sleep. For a few hours, to make nothing else matter.

You know, you should get out in the world.

I don't want to go out, I want to stay here.

Okay. Actually, what do you want?

The fair is in town.

The gag?

What to name the new animal pet?

I don't know. Is it a boy or a girl?

I earned it. Do I have to name it?

Rover, Spot, Herman?

Let's get in here.

A fortune teller?

I see a beautiful woman in your future.

A woman with a throwing arm strong.

You don't believe in that stuff, do you?

I take it you need proof.

Just so I can believe.

Love doesn't give you proof.

You have to believe. Come on, what have we got to lose?

That's right, we have nothing to lose and maybe he'll tell us what to name the dog.

Maybe you don't sleep like everyone else, but you've got better ones.

- I was lost in thought, wasn't I? - Totally.

What do you say?

It brings back too many memories.

Okay. You want to know the real reason?

Watch this.

It says here they have one, Lightning-Boy, who talks to the dead.

And you think this Lightning-Boy can help me.

Yes.

Besides, you're not gonna leave a child my age go in there alone, are you?

Do you know how much trouble I could get into?

Okay, there's no evidence that the guy can do this.

But what have you got to lose?

Sorry.

It's okay. You're right, I have nothing to lose.

Let's go.

Will you get over it?

Yeah.

You don't have any enemies that would...

No.

Someone who knows about jewelry?

He didn't talk about them. She was very modest.

Anything else?

Yes.

This is going to sound strange, it certainly does to me.

Try me.

A week ago, my aunt went to a fair.

There, they have a child who spoke with her husband, my uncle.

He's been dead since last year.

The kid even knew about a necklace diamond necklace she had given him.

Evelyn was very impressed that she told me on the phone to see it myself.

He was a doctor.

The same kid told me that Evelyn was dead... murdered.

Indeed, it is strange.

Very fashionable, isn't it?

That's right, you can't lie.

With you, I can't lie about anything.

I mean...

Get lost!

I should start liking boys.

My Maurice has been dead for three years, couldn't you tell him I miss him?

I can't talk to him, ma'am, he's a dog.

I'm sure he's still wagging his tail, ma'am.

- Anyone else? - What about me?

He's "daddy's boy", he's got a lot of money.

Your father's worried about his business.

He says you like money too much.

Is there really "too much?"

Bait him, boy.

It sits on my shoulder.

Say you risk too much, buy too much too much jewelry, expensive clothes for...

Sophia?

Sophia, yes.

Lightning-Boy strikes again. You?

How did he do that?

With only $100, you can find out the answer.

Anna, talk to the gentleman.

Too bad we don't have $100.

It wouldn't do any good. See the watch on his hand?

It's a clue. That's how they found out he has a lot of money.

It's a fake.

Does anyone else want to talk to the missing?

No?

Let's hear it for Lightning-Boy!

Let's go.

Where's Eric?

He said "Eric."

My name is Eric.

Tell him I miss him.

They're waiting for you, sir. I'll wait for him as long as it takes.

You think you've lost it and you're afraid.

See how he knew? For 100 dollars, you can find out everything he knows.

He wants you to keep the faith.

She's crazy about you, sir.

- Who are you talking about? - Shelly.

You couldn't have known.

I hear a voice, just like I hear yours.

I see a broken, round window.

Who put you up to this?

Eric, slow down, he's a baby.

- Where is he? - At a crossroads.

It's gone.

No. It's true, bring her back!

- Leave the boy alone! - There's something different about you...

Make the madman disappear.

When you talk to the dead, you must you have to be careful not to arouse people.

I miss him, Doc. She's so sad.

You can't drive people away at will.

It's a free country!

- Guys, you don't want to do this. - Yes, we do.

That's the fun part.

You should have listened to the good word.

I'm talking to you!

Looks like you got my attention.

He looks like a clown.

Not clown, another bum.

Strongman...

You broke my nose!

The pain you cause is equal the pain you receive.

If you don't like the fair, you shouldn't have come.

Be careful who you call from the dead, they may have secrets.

Think again you take the next step.

That's it! Go away, freak!

Come on, we're leaving.

You lost your temper inside. Feeling better?

Yeah, let's go.

- What's he doing here? - Who is?

Maybe he likes to ride the merry-go-round.

I'm sorry, Detective, Jesse can't help you.

They don't deal with police investigations.

I don't want him helping me on a case I need to ask him some questions.

I don't think he'd be interested.

We'd better let him decide who he can talk to.

The problem is, I'm his legal guardian.

Here, the papers are fine.

You had a client last night who lost an aunt?

We talk to a lot of people, I can't say I remember.

The one I'm talking about found her dead after she stopped by your place.

Do you have any idea where the boy might have known?

Maybe he had a vision, talked to the dead, who knows?

So you're telling me he's talking really talking to the dead.

I don't believe in that crap.

From time to time, it appears a coincidence, right?

Making a splash, increasing takings for a week.

Coincidence?

Sure, we're just entertaining.

However, I would like to talk to him, with your permission, of course.

The problem is I love Jesse like a son,

I couldn't deliberately do something that would cause him pain.

Why would that hurt him?

He believes that everything is real. That's all he has.

Your questions would make it doubt.

Do you have a son, Detective?

No...

If you had, you would proceed the same way I did.

I'm his family, I love him and I will protect him.

If you insist on talking to him, come with a warrant.

Don't think I won't come.

Do what you think is right.

- Yes. - Have a nice day.

In 20 years of fairs I've never seen one like him.

It changed into something bad, right before our eyes.

Maybe we should put him in the show.

We have a bigger problem, a cop poked his nose in.

Don't talk to anyone. We're gonna sit tight and leave town, okay?

The baby is acting stranger and stranger. I think he's talking to the dead.

- Face. - A face?

Who is it?

And you.

I'm sorry, sir, I had no intention of upsetting you.

You have to believe me.

- I'm sorry. - What do you mean?

Because you were trying to help me.

And you're dead, aren't you?

I don't know if they are as you say, but I was dead.

How come you're here?

I was hoping you could help me with that.

But I've never seen or spoken with the living dead, the only ones I've...

I've seen are in my head.

Like Shelly?

Yeah, like Shelly.

Jesse, why are they keeping you here?

Doc says I'm safe here.

- Safe? - Yes.

Safe from what?

To people, I guess.

I'm just tinkering and...

...write.

What are you writing?

What the voices are telling me.

Doc tells me to write it all down so I don't forget.

Did you write anything about Shelly?

No...

Can you contact her again now?

I don't know. But I can try.

I can't, sir. I think I'm too scared.

From me?

Doc's my friend, I feel good around him.

If we were friends...

What are you doing?

I'm your friend.

Don't do that! Doc won't pay to fix it.

I doubt Doc will give me the key.

He gave it to Logan. Logan's the bad guy.

Mind if I borrow it?

Some security guard!

It's not like I gave it to him willingly.

We need to find the boy and the book.

Doc, you got a visitor.

What do you want now?

Jesse Hickock. That gives me permission to question him.

It looks legal, but it's not here.

Where is he?

No idea.

Then you come in his place, and keep me company.

Maybe I'll refresh you your memory.

Who is it?

Eric.

What?

Sarah, I need money. I have no one to go to.

How much?

I have to go out to dinner.

I had to figure out you'd end up together.

You can really do that, can't you?

I don't have any money, my mom's on the pill, but I can whip something up.

Do you have fish fillets?

It can be done... Come in.

Doc keeps all my money. He takes care of me.

...

How could I not...

You're wrong. Doc's the only one who ever cared about me.

Jesse, you must be smart to do this.

Not really. I remember, I was smart.

But one day lightning struck me and I began to hear voices.

When I started telling people what I was hearing,

they acted like I was a monster.

With the exception of Doc.

What's going on? How do you know you're crossing over?

I hear voices in my head.

Other times, Doc makes me make it up.

- Not hungry? - He already ate.

When?

Earlier.

Are you sure? They're very tasty.

Jesse, why is Doc keeping you locked up?

He's superstitious. He says he can't afford lightning to strike me again.

"The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away." so it says.

The possibility of being hit twice quite small.

You never know.

I talk to the dead, I don't see the future,

like the fortune-teller they were Eric and Shelly.

You don't believe in that stuff, do you?

What have we got to lose?

You have shared many lives together.

We met last week.

Don't be ignorant, I was talking about past lives.

Your love has met many obstacles.

Many times...

Your attempts are not over yet.

For an extra $10, I'll give you the cards.

For ten bucks, I'll deal.

I live in the same world as you, I have to eat.

This one I need to see.

Please pick a card. Just show it to me.

RELATIONSHIPS

It's a good book.

Your turn.

No.

What doesn't?

Get your money back.

You saw the last card, but Shelly hasn't.

She told you that?

I saw it.

No wonder they keep you at the fair. You're great.

What was that last card, Eric?

Death.

I could try again to talk to her.

Great, but what do I tell Darla when she gets home?

Sarah, me and Jesse need to be alone.

So?

Did he speak?

He claims that an individual attacked one of his employees and kidnapped the child.

Did he give a description?

No.

I think it's stupid.

I didn't arrest him, I had him a few questions.

Yeah, sure. Where we stand on the Reese case, the murder?

The boy talks to Mrs. Reese in person a few days before she was killed.

The granddaughter comes to the fair to see him, he tells her she's dead

and it turns out it was. She was murdered hours before he told her.

What's this guy's deal? Why did we arrest him?

He's not under arrest. I invited him for coffee.

- You need the baby. - You think I don't know that?

- Any leads? - Just a hunch.

Hurry up. I'm trying to hold him for a few more hours.

Hi, baby.

- You look great. - Thank you.

- Will you come home with me? - No, I have to find a baby.

- How are you? - I have my closing tomorrow.

- Are you gonna win? - Another murderer goes to jail.

She's confident!

He needs to repeat his lesson.

- See you tonight? - I might be late.

- Lead the way, you big, handsome cop. - I love it when you talk like that.

He was here after he died.

How do you know?

I can feel it in the air.

I felt someone a few times.

Tell him I can talk to him through you.

She says she was.

Say?

Are you talking to her? Now? [Sighs]

Yes.

I want to know how we can be together again. Ask her.

He doesn't know.

Tell him that for as long as it takes, whatever I have to do,

I'll find her and we'll be together again.

He knows. He tells you the same thing.

Draven!

Wait!

It's gone.

What are you doing here?

Come on, Draven. A boy who claims he can talk to the dead disappears.

The list is short.

It can reach the other realm. He talked to Shelly!

How could I not... He's coming with me.

Why? What did he do?

He's coming with me!

When can I talk to him again?

The boy has information about a murder.

A murder?

Talk to his legal guardian.

The one who keeps him in the cage? Bravo, you're handing him over to a murderer.

Don't talk about Doc like that! I told you, he's trying to protect me!

Jesse, Doc's using you.

No...

I'm not listening to you anymore.

Wine.

So you talked to the dead woman and she told you what happened.

That's what the boy said.

When you spoke to Evelyn Reese, it was said anything about her husband's jewelry?

That's what I have to do.

Ask people about valuable possessions?

No, they have to talk to the dead, that's what he means. Right, Jesse?

Yeah. As Doc says.

I'm starting again.

I've already told you everything.

The boy knows nothing.

Tonight is our last performance in Port Columbia

and prevent us from earning a living, Detective!

Okay.

Thanks for your time, Jesse. I'll be in touch.

Where did you find him?

Somewhere in the city, talking to a dead man.

Aha...

Don't leave town.

I wouldn't dream of it.

I haven't been good, Doc, I'm sorry.

Don't worry, boy, I'll take good care of you.

Get ready to go as soon as the show is over.

Why don't we leave now?

Because we're innocent, right? Only the guilty leave early.

The boy's an extra burden, Doc.

I'll talk to him. Alone.

Jesse, come here.

I ruined the whole show, didn't we, Doc?

Show's over, Jesse.

Give me the notebook you were writing in, so I can help you.

You're going to get really upset, because... I lost him.

Did you lose it?

Where? Where did you put it, Jesse? Remember.

I can't...

Okay, that's okay.

I love you, boy, but I can't defend you anymore.

You did everything you could.

The police will blame you.

I know you didn't do it on purpose, but they feel differently.

But I didn't kill anybody, Doc!

Because of what you told me, they did it.

By law, you're guilty.

Will they take me away from you?

What am I gonna do?

You don't talk to the dead, Jesse?

Maybe you should make them pay them a visit.

A real one.

I'm going to get ready for the show, you do the right thing.

Make sure nobody gets hurt.

What do you want?

This boy, Jesse. What do you think of him?

You don't believe my story either, why you're interested in my opinion of him?

So you think it's true.

Like I said, I think he can talk with the dead.

Do you have proof?

She knows things that only Shelly would know.

Holy...

You asked. I know how it sounds, but he is the key to what happened to me.

You're selfish.

As if it's not important to your investigation.

Like you care about him as a human being.

I know he's in trouble, but what do you want me to do?

The system saves children in danger.

So I've heard.

Help me. Give me something I can take from Doc and give you a chance.

Anything.

The boy's book. Doc had him write it all down.

Do you feel lucky?

Measure your powers with the Iron Man.

I'll give you 50 bucks for 10 of yours if you beat him.

Come along, sir.

Doc, I looked everywhere, I can't find any notebooks.

Turn everything upside down if you have to.

So far, the score is 2-0 to the guests.

He wants another round? Let's ask him.

He's not here, I swear! You mustn't to hit me again!

Okay.

If you can't do what you're told, take a break.

Be good.

Anyone else? 50 to 10.

Come quick, Jesse will jump!

Are you happy now?

What?

I told you he was unstable. Look what your interrogator did to him!

Talk to you later!

I need a rescue team to the fairgrounds.

Someone wants to jump.

I thought I told you to stop coming around here, you little punk!

I have a problem, I can't study.

If we get you to the hospital fast, you won't die.

I was there. I did that.

Over here, you little shit!

Don't come any closer! I'll jump!

- You don't want to do that. - I have to! Stay back!

- It's a road you don't want to go down. - It doesn't matter.

Why? You didn't do anything wrong.

- It's me.... - No, Doc lied to you.

I lied. I told Doc I lost my license.

I don't think so.

You're under arrest for murder.

You have the right to remain silent...

Jesse, come here, so we can talk.

Why do you look like that?

Because I'm different, Jesse. I died and came back.

I don't know why.

Death isn't so bad.

Not like this. I'd give anything to get my life back.

You don't know how I feel.

Is someone inside you always trying to get out? It hurts and you can't control it.

Give me your hand.

I want to be with the voices, or stop.

You can't help me with that, can you?

I will try.

Jesse, Eric's right, you don't belong here yet.

Shelly.

Shelly?

He doesn't want me to come yet.

Listen to her.

Jesse, Eric will help you. Go to him, don't be afraid.

Take my hand.

Take my hand and save him.

He wants to be normal, you know he exists one way.

Eric.

I came to see you in your new home.

Yes, it's beautiful.

How are you?

I have a new job. They saw I was handy.

I'll make belts.

Can I see it?

Yes.

You're good.

What's better, Friday have fish fillets.

If you want, you can come here too. They have fish fillets for everyone.

Thanks, Jesse, I'll think about it.

How are you?

I don't hear voices anymore.

It's quiet...

It's nice to be left alone, alone with your thoughts.

I don't like to think too much.

Was what I did... wrong?

Not true.

You tried to help people. You helped me.

I tried, didn't I?

You did more than that.

I'll give it to you as a gift.

Thank you, Jesse.

I owe you one.

For what?

You taught me how to listen.

Eric.

If you don't hear the voices, it doesn't mean they're gone.

Next time you see her,

give him my best from Jesse.

I will. Thank you.
