Secondly, I would like to add my own ending for this movie. In my opinion, the ending of Case 39 is should be Emily who were start the investigation should think like engineer to solve the problem. Emily know that Lilith has a disturbance by the supernatural. Or at the other word ghost. So, Emily must bring Lilith to the priest to destroyed or capture the evil that disturb Lilith. Moreover, it same also like Malay culture. Some people are was not 100% trust only for modern medical in their life. Some of them will came to faith healer or Ustaz to heal them.
