Alright, somebody time it. As soon as she lets it in, it cannot go for more than 90 seconds. Am I clear?
Mia What happens after 90 seconds?
They'll want to stay. And if you die while they’re in you, well, they’ll have you forever.

Scenes with Mia
12 scenes Mia Mia Did the hand thing scare you?
Riley
A bit.
Mia You going to have nightmares, Riley?
Riley
I don't get nightmares.
Mia I do.
Riley
Like what?
Mia I have this recurring nightmare… where… I’m looking in the mirror and my reflection is gone. Like I don’t exist.
Riley
What did the hand feel like?
Mia Mmm… It felt amazing. I felt like I was glowing. I could hear and see and feel everything. But I was in the passenger seat. It felt incredible.
Riley
How did your mum die?
Mia You know.
Riley
Only bits.
Mia She… took too many sleeping pills. By accident. Dad was sleeping on the couch. In the morning, he couldn’t open the door.
Riley
Mm. Why?
Mia Mum was on the other side. And there were scratches on the door and wood under her nails. She tried to get help, but she couldn’t.
Riley
Jade said you got depression after.
Mia I was just feeling alone.
Riley
No, you can’t ever be alone ’cause you’ll always have me and Jade.
Mia Yeah. It’s OK, I don’t feel alone anymore.
Mia [about Riley, at the hospital]
Tell me he’s OK.
No offence, I don’t want you here right now.
Mia Wait, Jade. Come on.
Mia.
Mia Sue, I…
Don’t!
What are you doing here?
Mia I just… I just came to see how he was.
He’s bad, Mia. He’s really **** bad. Did you give him something?
Mia No.
Come on. I know you’ve done shit before. What was it?
Mia Nothing, I swear.
Look at his face. What did my son ever do to you?
Mia I… I didn’t hurt him.
Go home. Now.
Mia No, please, can I just see him?
You come back here, I’m gonna call the police.
Who showed the police the video?
Think it was James.
Least it proves we didn’t touch him. Police said there’s not a lot they can do.
Has it ever lasted this long?
No. But we’ve never been over 90 seconds before Mia, so… How is he?
Every time he comes to, he tries to kill himself.
They wanna keep him.
What?
The guy who gave Duckett the hand said that if you die while they’re in you, they have you forever. Have any of you guys… still been seeing stuff?
What the **** you mean, “seeing stuff”?
Mia I saw my mum at the hospital.
And another one attacked Daniel at my house.
Did you see something?
Uh… not exactly.
What’s that supposed to mean, Daniel?
I woke up and Mia was, I don't know, sucking my feet.
What the ****?
Mia Jade.
What do you mean, “woke up with Mia”? What do you mean, “sucking your feet”?
Mia It wasn’t me. I couldn’t go home.
None of us have been seeing shit. We all did it. We were all there. Why would you see your mum? You didn’t even let her in.
Wait, didn’t Duckett say they could imitate people?
Mia Wait, who’s Duckett?
I got the hand off him. He, uh… I met him twice at some parties and… yeah, we did the hand shit, I asked if I could borrow it and he said I could keep it. He said he was seeing them without it.
And then he went full skitz. Stabbed his brother, then killed himself.
Mia Jade! Jade, just wait! Jade!
You shouldn’t have let him do it, Mia!
Mia We all decided it’d be OK.
We didn’t decide anything.
Mia We did. We all said…
We didn’t say shit, Mia. That was you. You let it go for two **** minutes.
You sleep with my boyfriend. What the ****’s wrong with you?
Jade, it wasn’t like that.
Of course you take her side.
Mia Jesus…
I wish that you didn’t force yourself into my family, Mia.
Mia [tearfully]
Um… Did we blow the candle out?
I don’t remember.
Mia What if we opened the door but we didn’t shut it?
What are you saying?
Mia We do it again with Riley but blow out the candle this time.
You want him to do it again? The thing that put him in hospital?
Mia You wanna save him?
Don’t **** ask me that.
Mia We have to do something, Jade!
Mia OK. Um… What if I use the hand to speak to him?
No.
Mia What?
He’s not dead, Mi.
Mia But what if his spirit is disconnected from his body? I thought these spirits were in limbo. Maybe that’s where Riley is.
Might not be him.
Mia What if it is?
What if it isn’t?
This is a bad idea, Mia.
Mia. Mia, don’t.
Mia Riley, talk to me.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. You OK?
Mia No! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
It’s just us.
: It’s just me and Daniel. What happened?
Mia [sobbing]
I saw him. They’re hurting him, Jade. They’re not gonna stop. They’re never gonna stop.
Mia Jade?
You OK?
Mia I know what to do. We can save him.
[sighs]
You know, I actually think he’s getting better. He woke up for a second. It’s like he was himself again.
Mia I’ve seen him, Jade. He’s in pain. And every second is agony for him. Just come to mine. And I’ll show you.
Show me what?
Mia You just have to be here, Jade. Please. Just trust me.
Oh, shit. OK. I’ll be there in 10.
Mia.
Mia I’m… I’m sorry.
No, it’s OK. Sit. I was wondering when I’d see you again. You haven’t come.
Mia You told me not to.
I know. I was mad.
Mia You had every right to be. Still do.
No, I don’t. There were no drugs, Mia. [sighs] He had a breakdown. I just… I just… couldn’t face that. I’m so sorry that I blamed you. I know that you wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.
Mia I love you guys.
You’re not Riley’s friend, Mia you’re his family. It’d mean so much to him that you were here.
Mia Can I have a minute with him? Alone.
Of course.
Rhea
I’m so proud of you. [cackles weakly] Take him, my darling girl. You’re doing the right thing. Show him the way.
Mia I can protect him.
Rhea
We’ll have him forever.
