Derren Brown: Okay, all right. Lily or Lucy or something like that, yeah? No?

Woman01: Say it again?

DB: Lily or Lucy or…

Woman01: Lucy.

DB: Pardon me?

Woman01: Lucy.

DB: Lucy. She’s saying something about a hat that you used to like or something with a hat. Yeah? This isn’t a hat that you like this is one of her hats or something that she had a lot of hats and it was something that you liked. In fact she had loads of hats. She was the hat lady? Yeah? Yeah. Um, okay, she’s asking about, I want to say Charlie? Charles? Yeah? Someone she left behind? Or…

Woman01: It was her ex-husband.

DB: It was her ex-husband again? All right. She’s given me an image what she’s given you, I think this is something that she’s tried to give you a picture. All right? So I’m going to describe what this is and just be honest all right? Okay, she’s been trying to let you see that she’s still connected to you and the way she’s shown that is through a lift, an elevator. Yeah?

Woman01: Uh-huh.

DB: Okay? And it’s her passing. It’s her passing away… she didn’t… she didn’t die in an elevator I’m sure but this is what she’s… this is the image that she’s trying to give you. Okay?

Woman01: Uh-huh.

DB: Um, what is that by the way? You can tell me I’m not…

Woman01: It’s a dream I had, where she died in the elevator. About a year or so ago, I had a dream of her passing. Um, and… and I wasn’t with her when she died and I put her in an elevator I was trying to take her up, you know. Uh, and I was worried about that dream for a long time not knowing what it meant and so I guess she wanted me to know that it was all good. It was okay.

DB: Okay. This is a lady who is trying to connect with the front end. I’m just taking a moment to decide. This is a lady but the name I’m giving you isn’t the lady’s name it’s Paul… Paul… Paula… Paulette… Yeah? Your mother, okay. This is somebody you didn’t connect with very well. You didn’t connect too well with her when you were younger and growing up and this is about finding that connection. Now does that sort of kind of make sense? All right. No older than sixty I would say sort of fifties, sort of something like that when she passed. Is that about right? Not… not an old lay, okay. And there’s a… there’s a… the connection here with you is I think, a sense of here is… her being quite an artistic and creative woman. Very style… very well kempt, very well presented, she looks very elegant. There’s guilt on her part. I mean, it’s good… its… its… It’s happy but it’s like there’s a feeling of guilt. I think your father passed when you were very young as well is that right? And there’s a feeling that she left early and that she didn’t connect in the way that she should’ve connected and that’s what… is the.. quite a strong feeling here of things undone and things unsaid. And the connection that got broken too early. I think she [IB] passed when you were very young, a teenager, I think very young. In a happy way, it’s an apology. In a happy way I think this is uh… this is uh… a wanting to reach out and connect and just, you know, make that connection.

Woman02: No other spiritualist has ever really given me what he’s given me today. Having never met him before it was absolutely just astounding. I’ve never experienced that before.

Janet: People really do want to hear from people passed over, so he brought through some lovely evidence. There’s no doubt that there is a gift there. But I think to move it to another level will be incredible. I think it would be a whole new level, particularly since Frazier readily admits he’s not sure about this himself.

DB: That felt horrible, but Janet thought I was real and as with each of the influential figures I’ve met. No one questioned if it was real or not. My time in America had come to an end and what has started out as a series of exciting challenges has grown into a slightly depressing feeling that when you step back all of these beliefs work in similar ways. Whether it’s religion or my own skepticism we all notice what support our belief and we disregard the rest.

Woman04: He’s going to take my job!

Man01: As a person who train psychics, I would have them watch that film and say this is how you do it.

Man02: I do know people who’ve come to Christ with a radical conversion but nothing quite like James.

DB: Binoculars?

Woman05: Yes.

DB: Yeah?

Woman05: My private secret dream and he saw them.

DB: Is that remotely?

Woman06: It’s exactly. This should go into the most respectable publications you can find.

Janet: he brought through some lovely evidence. There’s no doubt that there is a gift there.

DB: I left thinking that any of these beliefs might absolutely be true but it’s passion not knowledge that teaches us to be certain of them and that the ability to question these things is part of what makes us truly human.

Man03: I think God is a hoax and a scam but it works. It’s actually a good one. I mean how much money is given to something you can’t see, can’t smell, can’t taste but it’s got to be there and you’ve got like a hundred and eighty religions going up, but we’re the chosen ones. We are special, we are different, you’re all else f…d. But we are going to get through because we’ve got a swipe card. The Mormons and the Jews and the Muslims and I’m like going… good business. I want to get in on this.
