He's still here. He feels she belongs to him. But why? I'm not sure, but he's used to...

Taylor: He's still here. He feels she belongs to him. Diane: But why? Taylor: I'm not sure, but he's used to getting what he wants. Steve Freeling: Taylor, who is he? What is he? Taylor: He's a man filled with the demon, lost in a dimension that surrounds our world. This entity believes that his world and ours are the same. Diane: But why doesn't he know he's dead? Taylor: Because he isn't. Steve Freeling: But how can that be? Taylor: Nothing really dies, like when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Death only transforms us into another state of being. This man was evil, and his soul remains evil, because he chooses not to see the light, and pass on to another state of consciousness. Steve Freeling: How are we gonna beat this thing? Taylor: Until we learn how to defeat him, we do not let him win. Steve Freeling: [sarcastically] That's a hell of a plan! That's a lot of crap! Diane: I suppose you have a plan of your own? Steve Freeling: THAT'S A LOT OF CRAP! Taylor: Listen, don't come apart now. This spirit is very clever. He knows your strength is your love, and he hates you for that. He's been trying to pull this family apart, and he will continue to try. If he succeeds, he will possess Carol-Anne... and destroy your spirit.
