PREVIOUSLY ON THE HAUNTING HOUR...
YOU MUST BE LILLY.
I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET LILLY D.
DO YOU THINK THE DOLL'S ALIVE?
NO.
[MOM]: I THINK YOU NEED A TIME-OUT FROM LILLY D.
[SMASH]
LILLY!
YOU ARE IN VERY, VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE!
NO, IT'S NOT FAIR!
SHE DID IT!
[♪♪♪]
[LOW GROWLING]
[♪♪♪]
[SOBBING]
[GENTLE KNOCK]
CAN I COME IN?
OKAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHY DON'T YOU JUST ADMIT
YOU PAINTED THE WALL IN MOM'S ROOM?
[SNIFFLING]
BECAUSE I DIDN'T.
NOBODY'S GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO YOU.
OKAY, I MEAN, YOU'RE PROBABLY
JUST GOING TO HAVE TO GO TALK TO A THERAPIST,
AND THEY'LL HAVE CANDY IN THE OFFICE AND...
[SOBBING]
...STUFF LIKE THAT.
I DIDN'T DO IT.
ALL RIGHT, JUST...
PLEASE STOP CRYING.
LILLY D. DID IT.
WHEN I CAN PROVE TO YOU
THAT LILLY D. CAN'T MOVE,
YOU'D BETTER STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE ALL INNOCENT.
[CRYING]
YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS
IN FRONT OF HER.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING FOR MOM'S CAR.
GO WATCH FOR MOM!
WHAT?
YOU SNUCK INTO MY ROOM
AND FILMED ME ON A HIDDEN CAMERA?
YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.
THE MEMORY CARD WAS GONE.
NO, YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT!
CHILDREN DON'T HIDE CAMERAS IN THEIR PARENTS' ROOM,
OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!
DID YOU TAKE THE CARD?
GIVE ME THAT CAMERA. NOW!
OKAY, FINE,
BUT I KNOW THERE WAS A CARD IN THERE,
I DON'T FEEL GOOD.
CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO A DOLL?
IT'S A DOLL!
I MEAN, YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING REALLY WEIRD.
I'M SORRY, BUT EVER SINCE THIS DOLL
HAS COME INTO THIS HOUSE,
OUR WHOLE FAMILY HAS BEEN FALLING APART.
JEEZ!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
DIZZY...
MOM, YOU'VE GOT TO GET HER TO A DOCTOR.
THE DOLL TOOK THE MEMORY CARD?
WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
I KNEW IT WAS AN EVIL DOLL.
OKAY, COME ON IN.
MY MOM TOOK LILLY TO THE HOSPITAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE'LL BE BACK.
DO YOU THINK THE DOLL DID IT?
MAYBE THERE'S A COMPUTER CHIP INSIDE OF IT.
MAYBE SOMEBODY'S OPERATING IT BY REMOTE CONTROL.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT!
THERE'S GOT TO BE AN EXPLANATION.
THEN WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
TAKE IT APART.
ALLEN WRENCH.
THANK YOU.
BUT YOU SAY YOUR NECK IS STIFF?
YEAH.
SOMETIMES A STIFF NECK COMES WITH A VIRUS.
HAS SHE ALWAYS HAD THIS?
THAT'S A BIRTHMARK.
CAN I GET THE LIGHT?
C-CAREFUL.
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE DEHYDRATED.
IS SHE GETTING ENOUGH WATER?
I THINK SO.
WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS.
MM? I DON'T LIKE TO HEAR THAT.
WHOA! [THUNK]
WATCH IT.
NOTHING MAJOR.
HER EYES DO LOOK A LITTLE GLASSY.
NO CHIP?
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
HOLD THIS.
[DOCTOR]: ANY PAIN?
I JUST KINDA HURT ALL OVER.
YEAH, OKAY.
[TAP, TAP]
[KNOCK, KNOCK]
IT'S HOLLOW.
LET ME SEE THE HEAD AGAIN?
YOU'RE WIMPING OUT ON ME, DUDE.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S UNDER THE HAIR.
99%, IT'S JUST A VIRUS,
AND SHE'LL BE FINE IN A DAY OR TWO,
BUT WE'LL TAKE SOME BLOOD,
AND I'LL PRESCRIBE AN ANTIBIOTIC
JUST IN CASE IT'S BACTERIAL.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOUNG LADY, STAY HOME,
REST, WATCH TV,
PLAY WITH YOUR DOLLS, IF YOU LIKE DOLLS.
[CHUCKLES]
OKAY.
CHECK IT OUT.
SOMETHING'S BEEN PAINTED OVER.
THERE'S-THERE'S WRITING.
THAT'S A "D."
"D" FOR DOLL.
OR LILLY D.
HANG ON, THERE'S MORE.
"DESTROY THIS DOLL."
OH, MAN.
[SHUTTER CLICKS]
STAY.
[CRUNCH]
AW, DANG.
THEY'RE CLOSED.
THERE'S NO WAY.
SHH! GO, GO, GO, GO.
[HEADPHONES BLARING]
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR FILES.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEARCH "M" FOR "MESSED-UP DOLL--"
SHH!
[RAPID TYPING]
[DOOR SQUEAKS]
OVER HERE.
[LOCKED DOOR RATTLES]
W-WHAT IF THEY'RE ALL EVIL?
L-LIKE A GANG.
LIKE A GANG OF EVIL DOLLS--
SHH!
DOING HAND SIGNALS AND STUFF!
SHH! SHH!
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CREAKS SLOWLY]
[BREATHING HARD]
[CLATTERING]
[DOOR CREAKS]
[PERSON ENTERS, MUTTERING]
[WOMAN SIGHING AND MUTTERING TO HERSELF]
[SHUFFLING FOOTSTEPS]
MY LITTLE DARLING...
WHERE ARE YOU, DARLING?
THERE YOU ARE.
WHO'S THERE?
SPIES!
[GASP]
FOR THE COMPANY.
NO, NO, NO, NO, WE-WE ARE--
YOU TELL YOUR BOSSES
I CURSE THE DAY I EVER SOLD MY BUSINESS TO THEM.
YOUR BUSINESS?
YES, MY BUSINESS.
I'M THE DOLL-MAKER.
FOR YEARS, I MADE MY DOLLS RIGHT HERE,
IN THIS VERY ROOM,
BENEATH MY HOUSE,
AND MY GREEDY HUSBAND--
MAY HE ROT IN HIS GRAVE--
TALKED ME INTO SELLING,
AND THEN YOUR COMPANY
TORE DOWN MY HOUSE,
AND THEY BUILT, AND THEY BUILT, AND THEY BUILT,
AND THEN CAME THE ORDERS--
"MAKE MORE DOLLS,
"FASTER, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!"
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
[CRYING]: WHAT HAVE I DONE...
[SOBBING]
I SHOULD SAW YOUR NECK--
NO! NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE ARE NOT WITH THE COMPANY.
YOU'RE NOT?
I-I DON'T EVEN SHAVE.
WE ARE CUSTOMERS.
MY SISTER BOUGHT A CUSTOM DELUXE DOLL,
AND WE THINK IT MAY HAVE COME ALIVE.
YES?
LOOK. THAT'S THE DOLL.
OH, NO.
NO, NO, SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
RIGHT.
"DESTROY THIS DOLL" WAS WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD.
BUT, UM,
IT WAS PAINTED OVER.
PAINTED OVER?
THOSE SCUM!
I WARNED THEM.
I WAS GOING TO DESTROY HER MYSELF,
BUT THEY SAID, "NO, NO, NO, THEY WOULD DO IT.
GET BACK TO WORK!"
THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD DESTROY HER.
THEY PROMISED.
LIARS!
[SPITS]
THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.
THEY MUST THINK I'M INSANE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IT?
[SPLUTTERS AND LAUGHS]
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE DOLL?
HER SOUL.
HER SOUL?
ALL THE DOLLS HAVE SOULS, OH, YES.
SOME ARE SILLY,
AND SOME ARE SHY,
AND SOME ARE VERY SERIOUS,
BUT THEY ARE ALL GOOD.
ALL THE DOLLS HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON--
THEY ARE CONTENT TO BE WHO THEY ARE.
BUT THAT ONE--
SHE WAS DIFFERENT.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A DOLL.
SO, W-WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
NO TELLING,
BUT IT WON'T BE GOOD.
GO.
DESTROY HER.
GO.
OKAY, I'M- I'M TRYING.
WINDOW!
DESTROY HER!
SHE'S A BAD GIRL.
ABSOLUTELY, SHE SHOULD SEE A THERAPIST.
TALK TO YOUR FATHER.
HI, DADDY.
UGH, THIS HOUSE IS A MESS.
YOU MEAN LIKE A COUNSELOR?
THE ONE AT SCHOOL?
WELL, THEN WHO?
YEAH, I GUESS.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
MOMMY?
I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE A NICER PERSON.
I'M GOING TO TRY REALLY HARD.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT, SWEETIE.
NOW, GO INTO YOUR ROOM AND LIE DOWN.
[SCREAMS]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
NO, SHE DID IT--
DON'T YOU TALK!
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I WISH YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER.
MOMMY?
[GASPS]
[PANTING IN FEAR]
NO...
NO, NO!
[SCREAMS]
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS]
THAT'S BETTER.
I'M GOING TO HAVE A NICE LONG BATH,
AND WE WILL BOTH HAVE
A PEACEFUL EVENING.
MOMMY!
[SCREAMS]
NO!
[PLASTIC SLAPS]
[SCREAMS IN HORROR]
A MOTHER CAN LIKE A DOLL,
BUT SHE CAN'T LOVE IT,
AND A MOTHER WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER CHILD,
BUT SHE CAN STOP LIKING IT.
SO NOW THAT MOM WILL THINK I'M YOU,
SHE'LL ALREADY LOVE ME.
THEN, ALL I NEED TO DO IS MAKE HER LIKE ME.
GOODBYE, LILLY.
I ALWAYS HATED YOU.
LILLY!
I'M IN THE KITCHEN!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.
WHERE'S THE DOLL?
HELLO.
DID YOU BOYS CLEAN THE KITCHEN?
AND FOLD THE LAUNDRY?
I DID, MOMMY, AND, LOOK, I MADE YOU A LITTLE SNACK.
A LITTLE SANDWICH AND A CAPPUCCINO.
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THE WORLD
ABOUT CLOSING A DEAL,
BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS WORRY ABOUT LILLY.
THEN I WALK THROUGH THE DOOR,
AND EVERYTHING'S RIGHT AGAIN.
IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW FAST KIDS CAN TURN AROUND.
WEIRD IS MORE LIKE IT.
CAN I HELP YOU, HONEY?
NO, DADDY.
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING HARD.
YOU DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT.
INCREDIBLE.
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
DON'T START IN ABOUT THAT OLD LADY AGAIN.
NOTHING'S WRONG, BRANDON.
SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME.
I'VE CHANGED.
IT'S A GOOD CHANGE.
DO YOU LIKE ME NOW, MOMMY?
HOW COULD I NOT?
I THINK LILLY D.
DESERVES SOME NEW PRESENTS.
OH... NO, DADDY.
I'M THROUGH WITH DOLLS.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY]
SO, WHAT DID THAT DOLL DO TO YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU'RE LYING ABOUT SOMETHING.
I CAN TELL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YES, YOU DO.
MAYBE...
[FORK SCRAPING]
YOU'RE JUST NOT USED TO ME BEING
THE GOOD LILLY.
YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE
THE BAD LILLY AGAIN, DO YOU?
[CHUCKLES]
OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
[OPENS DRAWER AND SLAMS FORK IN]
IT'S GOOD TO BE YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
[LID THUNKS]
YOU GUYS BETTER GET GOING.
YOU SMELL DIFFERENT.
OH! NOT BAD, I HOPE.
NO, JUST... JUST DIFFERENT.
DO YOU LOVE ME, MOMMY?
BETTER GET GOING.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE.
BYE.
[GARBAGE TRUCK RUMBLING]
OH, HEY.
I'M JUST HERE
TO SEE THE DOLL GET TRASHED.
HEY, MOM,
THIS WASN'T HERE BEFORE.
LILLY'S BIRTHMARK.
HOW CAN THAT BE?
WE GAVE THEM A PHOTO OF LILLY'S FACE,
AND HER MEASUREMENTS,
BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A BIRTHMARK.
EXACTLY.
HEY!
COME HERE!
STOP HER.
THAT'S NOT LILLY.
WHAT?
THIS IS.
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DO NOT LET THE TRASH TAKE HER.
OKAY?
DON'T.
BRANDON, THIS WAY!
JILL, WHAT'S WITH THE DOLL?
IT'S MY FAULT.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
I'M HER MOTHER.
HER MOTHER?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S A DOLL, A PLASTIC DOLL.
THIS IS OUR LILLY.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
AND HER SCENT,
AND HER BIRTHMARK...
ISN'T THAT IMPOSSIBLE?
HENRY, THIS IS OUR LILLY.
WHAT?
THIS IS OUR LILLY, AND SHE'S GONE.
OH, MY BABY...
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
OH, LILLY...
I LOVE YOU, TOO, MOMMY.
OH...
OH, BABY...
[LAUGHING IN JOY]
[GASPS]
[GROANING]
AH!
BRANDON!
LILLY!
YOU'RE OKAY.
[LAUGHING]
LET'S GO.
COME ON.
[ENGINE ROARS]
COOL!
I WANT IT!
BUT I SAW IT FIRST.
TOO BAD.
YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.
YES, I DO.
[SCREAMS]
