Hi. I'm Elise. You must be Lorraine.
Yes. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry it's so late.
My dayjob kind of makes raising my son a nightjob.
Don't worry about it.
In my line of work, things tend to happen when it gets dark.
Please. Thank you.
Ahoy, Carl! (GASPS)
(CHUCKLES)
Elise, thank you for coming.
I didn't know what else to do, except call you.
Oh, I understand.
You had a big problem and you thought
you'd make it my problem, too. Is that it?
Uh, uh... (CHUCKLES)
I'm teasing.
You know I'm always happy to help, Carl.
Would you like some coffee or tea?
No, thank you.
I'd like to get started right away, if that's okay.
Carl told me on the phone
your son is the one affected, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
My son, Josh.
Something is following him.
Show her.
I started with all the usual checks,
mental health tests, medical records.
Everything normal.
Then I saw the photos.
First noticed it about six weeks ago.
Thought it was a camera problem.
Then it became apparent that it was more than that.
CARL: I interviewed the boy.
He won't tell me anything. He's afraid.
(WHISPERS) I'm afraid, too.
There's something in this house. I can feel it.
It doesn't want me here.
May I meet him?
Hi, Josh. I'm Elise.
I would love to ask you some simple questions.
Do you like living here?
Yeah, I guess.
Are there a lot of kids your age in this neighborhood?
A few. One kid lives next door.
That must be fun.
Is there anything you don't like about living in this house?
I have bad dreams sometimes.
What happens in your dreams?
I'd like to try something with you, Josh.
And I promise, it won't hurt.
I want you to just relax.
(TICKING)
Listen to the ticking.
Focus on it.
Tune everything else out.
Feel yourself getting sleepier.
We are now inside your dream, Josh.
Look around.
What do you see?
I see myself
sleeping in bed.
Are you in your bedroom?
No.
I'm somewhere dark.
It's always dark here.
Are you alone?
No.
She's here.
ELISE: Who is "she"?
JOSH: She says she's a friend.
She visits me every night.
Where is she right at this moment?
Is she here in this house with us?
I'd like to talk to her.
(WHISPERS)
Okay, we're gonna play a little game, Josh.
It's called Hot and Cold.
I'll walk around the house,
and you tell me if I'm getting warmer or colder.
Cold.
Warm.
Warmer.
Colder.
(DOOR CREAKING)
Getting warm.
(WHISPERS) Hotter.
It's very hot.
Please get out of there.
Who are you?
What do you want?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(LOUD GROWL) (GASPS)
What happened?
I saw what haunts him, and it's not a friend.
It's a parasite. I've never felt such a malignant presence.
It wants to be him.
Miss Lambert,
I think your son has a unique ability, a gift.
When he sleeps at night, he's able to go places, see things.
Things no living person is supposed to see.
Only now, one of the dead has seen him, too.
Oh, my God.
Well, can you stop it?
I could take away his gift
to suppress his memory of his ability.
How would we do that?
I'll show you.
(DOOR CREAKS)
(BOTH GASP)
Do whatever you have to. Make him forget.
(VOICES WHISPERING)

RENAI: One morning, Dalton just wouldn't wake up.
We took him to the best doctors we could find,
but none of them had any idea.
Eventually, we just took him home,
still in his coma.
Then things started happening around the house.
Unexplained things.
I got so freaked out, we moved.
But they kept happening.
SENDAL: And you believe that there was some sort of supernatural force at work?
When did you hire the services
of the deceased Elise Rainier?
When we ran out of places to go.
It says in your statement, Mrs. Lambert,
that last night, at approximately 10:00 p.m.,
Elise put your husband into a state of hypnosis.
She did this as part of a ritual that
she believed would allow him to
"project his unconscious into a..." Uh...
I'm sorry, I can't read my own handwriting.
"...Into a spirit realm, where he could locate your son
"and bring him back to consciousness."
Now, did you really believe that would help?
I had to. Whatever she did, it worked.
Dalton woke up.
And what happened after your son woke up?
RENAII Josh!
Josh, where are you?
Josh!
(GASPING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GASPS)
JOSH: Renai.
I'm right here. (GASPS)
What'? Renaâ€œ
(STUTTERS)
Oh, no, no, no.
Elise! Elise!
Mom, get Dalton out of here! Call an ambulance!
No, no, no. Elise!
Oh, no!
No, no!
What?
Why are you looking at me like that?
You think I did this?
Did you believe him?
He's my husband. That's not what I asked.
Yes, I believed him. My husband isn't capable of killing anybody.
This is a photo Elise took seconds before she was killed.
Can you tell me who that is in this picture?
There were a lot of strange things happening in our house.
I saw apparitions, lots of them.
Are you telling me that this is a photograph of a ghost?
Listen, I'm not interested in ghosts, Mrs. Lambert.
I'm interested in the living people who create them.
Elise has marks on her neck
that were put there by human hands.
I'll let you know if forensics matches those marks to your husband.
LORRAINE: Jessica, we're home.
JESSICA: Hey, guys.
Dad! Look what I made. Hey.
What? It's a cup phone.
See? You put your ear in that, and I put my mouth in that.
You are a genius. Absolute brilliance. Thanks for watching them.
LORRAINE: Say hi to your mom from me. I will.
Oh. Mom, I'll get that.
LORRAINE: I'll go up and make the beds.
(TODDLER WALKER MUSIC PLAYING)

(KALI CRYING)
JOSH: All right. (DOOR OPENS)
Time for bed, boys.
How long are we gonna be here for?
We're gonna be at Grandma's house for a little bit
while the police work at our house.
You know, this house has been in the family for a long time.
And you guys
get to stay in Daddy's old bedroom.
Did you see anything bad in here?
No.
And neither will you, okay?
Okay.
Good night.
What?
Just glad you're awake.
Good night, boys.
FOSTER: Good night.
Hey, Dalton.
What?
Look what I made.
Do I have to?
Yeah.
This is stupid.
Come on, it really works. I wanna ask you something, all right?
All right, fine. The string needs to be tight.
Go farther back. Okay.
So, what do you think of this?
I think it's stupid.
Hey.

It's still happening. What is?
I heard the piano playing by itself downstairs
and I found Kali on the floor of her room by her crib!
Well, maybe she climbed out of her crib.
Has she ever done that before?
What? What is wrong with you?
Renai, I just want us to move on from this, that's all.
I want us to be a normal family again.
There is nothing normal about this, okay? These things are still here.
Elise is dead! No one's talking about it! Someone murdered her!
Then let's talk about it.
You think I did it?
No. No, I don't.
Good. Good.
Because I know what happened.
I went into that place to get our son back
and something evil followed me and killed Elise.
You saw it.
You saw those things.
Listen to me. Nothing is gonna bother us, not anymore.
We have our family back.
We have our son.
Isn't that what we should be focusing on?
Yeah.
(DOG BARKING)
(GATE CLOSES)
(DOOR CLOSES)
You think all the ghosts we've seen
would somehow make me feel better that Elise is gone.

SPECS: Superior sense of smell, my friend.
You know what? I don't think we should be down here.
Let's go back.
That's a private room. You should stay...
See? Oh, my nuts!
I'm not helping.
(GRUNTS)
Hi, Josh. I'm Elise.
Hey.
I would love to ask you some simple questions.
But they're the good kind, the kind you can't get wrong.
Do you like living here?
JOSH: Yeah.
Amateur framing. Just horrible.
(BOTH SHUSHING)
A few. One kid lives next door.
(REWINDING)

ELISE: I could try to take away his gift
to suppress his memory of his ability.

I'll show you.

ELISE: I could try to take away his gift,

LORRAINE: How would we do that?
I'll show you.

Oh, my God, Josh! Mom!
Did you see her? I saw someone!
No, you didn't. No, I did! There was somebody...
Ma, there is no one here, okay?
Because if there was, that would scare my family,
and I don't need Renai hearing any of that stuff right now.
Understand?
Yeah, you're right. Um...
It was probably my imagination.
Yeah.
Sorry. You should get some sleep.
(EXHALES)
(TV PLAYING)
You want some more?
(FOSTER TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
FOSTER: All right, go farther back so we can stretch it. We need to make it tight.
Daddy?
I gotcha! I gotcha! Oh, my God!
I'm going to eat you.
DALTON: Mom?
Hey, honey, what do you want for breakfast?
Anything you want.
I don't care.
What's wrong?
What's the matter? You can tell me.
I had a bad dream.
Okay.
I'm sorry. What was it about?
I was in my bed sleeping.
Grandma walked in.
I could see someone else in my room.
Please don't leave us again.
Grandma?
Mmm-hmm.
There's someone standing behind you.
I tried to wake myself up.
It took a while, but I did it.
I heard voices in the hallway.
You got to go.
You have to go.
It was Daddy.
You have to leave.
And he was talking to someone.
You have to go.
Is there something wrong with Daddy, Mom?
No.
No, honey.
He's just been through a lot.
That's all. We all have.
It's okay, it's just a dream.
I'm gonna take the boys to school.
You should rest, relax a bit.
Come on, son.
Okay.
SPECS: Are you okay, Lorraine?
You said something was wrong.
Whatever it was that killed Elise,
whatever it was that was haunting my family
is not done with us.
Last night I saw someone in my house.
I need your help.
SPECS: Do you remember the first time Elise visited your house
to talk to Josh when he was a boy?
No. I did a lot to try to...
Try to forget that part of my life, until recently.
All right. Well, Elise hypnotized him,
asked him a series of questions.
I digitized the actual footage taken from the night.
I cropped and lightened the image.
What?
SPECS: Lorraine, is that Josh?
How is that possible?
SPECS: We don't know.
If only Elise were here to help us.
What?

(CONTINUES RINGING)
Hello?
Renai Lambert, this is Detective Sendai.
Oh.
Hello, Detective.
I told you I would inform you once I got the forensics results.
Well, I got some.
It seems the bruises on Elise Rainier's neck
do not match your husband's hands.
We're not ruling anything out at this point,
but I just thought you should know.
Thank you, Detective. Uh...

Hi, Carl. Oh.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
(SIGHS) Looks like I did the aging for the both of us.
Oh, please stop it.
You met Specs. This is Tucker.
Elise talked about you a lot.
Oh. Yeah, said you were the second best person
she ever worked with.
Second best, that's generous.
I had been meaning to catch up with her, to call her.
But I always kept putting it off till the next week, you know?
And now she's gone.
Well, maybe this is your chance to say your good-byes.
Specs told me on the phone, but I'm not sure we should...
We have questions that need answering,
and the only person we could think of to ask is Elise.
Please help us, Carl.
Help us contact her.
CARL: Everybody has their own way of making contact.
This is mine.
I ask questions and the spirits answer with the dice.
You look for the words in the letters.
Elise, we are calling out to you.
Tell us if you are there.
Elise, please talk to us.
Give us a sign that you can hear my voice.
All right, I suppose I should've explained
that this isn't an exact science.
Sometimes contact can't be made.
Elise.
Please tell me, are you here?
Are you here?
I'l go get... No!
Do not break the circle.
Elise.
We need to know who killed you.
Tell us.
"She did."

But it's all closed now.
Now only the ghosts are left.
CARL: (WHISPERS) Personally, I prefer the ghosts to people.
LORRAINE: The question is, what are we looking for?
Elise led us here for a reason.
Just forget the actual building.
Think of the doctors, the nurses you worked with,
the patients, everyone.
DOLL: Mama! Mama!
What is it?
(WHIMPERING)
(LAUGHS)
In there.
CARL: What was in this room?
This was an ICU.
I remember it very well.
Should we do pizza night tonight?
How about mac and cheese?
Hi, Pam. Hi, Lorraine.
Mac and cheese.
Okay, that can be done.
Keep quiet. Don't touch anything.
How is he?
His vital signs are stabilizing,
but he's still unresponsive.
LORRAINE: His blood pressure's doing better.
NURSE: Yes, after we upped the dosage.
LORRAINE: Okay, let's keep him on that. NURSE: Okay.

up and walking around?
What do you mean?
The patient from ICU, Parker Crane?

I just rode down in the elevator with him.
He should be in bed, on the monitor...
Lorraine, that patient died yesterday morning.
What?
He jumped to his death.

We have to go! We gotta get the kids
and we gotta get out of the house!
No, it's not the house. You know that.
We've been through this before.
They will follow us. You have to just not be afraid.
You have to relax.
Relax? I can't relax!
There's ghosts everywhere!
It's like we're already dead!
No, it's not!
No, it's not.
This is nothing like being dead.

Where have you been?
I need to speak to you.
Where is he, Josh?
He's not feeling well. He's been in bed all day.
And where are Dalton and Foster?
I just dropped them off at Jessica's.
Why? You and the kids are in danger.
I'll explain, but not here.

It's not the house, it's Josh.

I thought we agreed on "Unicorn" as the code word.
Uh... "Quesadilla" is easier to bring up in conversation.
Not at all. How would you bring up
"quesadilla" in a conversation?
It's lunch time. It's quesadilla time. Guys, guys, guys, guys.

I don't think it matters.

Can I help you?
My name's Carl.
Uh, I know you don't remember me, Josh.
Elise and I did our best to make sure of that.
You're right, I don't remember you.
Your mother called me when you started experiencing some problems
and what I saw scared me so badly that I, uh, reached out to Elise.
Now Elise is gone.
I was wondering if you could help give me some closure.
Ineedit
Sure.
Okay.
(CARL CLEARS THROAT)
Phew!
This is pretty exciting.
I feel like an FBI agent.
Tell me what you're thinking. Lorraine, what do you know?
I think that when Josh went into that other world,
something else came back.
We believe it's a spirit that's killed
many times before, and it'll kill again.
That's why I had to get you and the kids away from him.
Last night, when I looked into his eyes,
like I have every day for the last 12 years,
was the first time I didn't recognize him.
I was scared of him.
Right now, at the house,
there is an acquaintance of Elise's and mine, and he's talking to Josh.
We're going to try to sedate him and when he's under,
we're going to try to reach out to the real Josh.
And what if we can't find him?
(JOSH COUGHING)
(STUTTERS) Are you feeling okay?
I'm fine.
Just woke up feeling a little under the weather.
Isuppose I wanted to ask you
if you've any idea what happened to Elise.
No, I don't.
Look, I...
I should remind you that, um...
I'm not the person who's gonna look at you funny
if you tell me something unusual.
Mmm-hmm.
I've seen things with my own eyes
that most people have to go to sleep to conjure up.
Elise sent me to a place that still haunts my dreams.
But I got my son back.
I don't know, I left the room for about 10 minutes,
and when I came back, Elise was dead.
She had been strangled.
That's pretty horrific.
I guess.
Oh!
Um...
When you were a boy,
you said it was an old woman who haunted you.
Did you see that same old woman
when you were in that other world?
No.
Okay. Um...
Say, would you like a drink?
(STAMMERS)
Water. A glass of water would be nice.
Sure.
What you got there?
Huh? Oh. Uh...
Nothing.
I thought maybe you were playing with your dice.
Excuse me?
Mother tells me you like to play with dice.
Did she? I didn't realize you guys had spoken this morning.
It's how I do my readings.
Ah.
What have you got behind your back?
Why don't you ask your dice what I have behind my back?
Come on, roll them and see.
Mother tells me you were very good with them at the house.
Come on, it'll be fun.
What...
What does Josh...
What is Parker Crane holding behind his back?
She was always right.
BOTH: Shit!
(YELLS)
CARL: Ah!
Come on!
(YELLS)
(STRAINING)
(CHOKING)
Quesadilla.
Carl! CARL: In here!
I got you!
(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTS)
I know you, don't I?
Well, if you're here, I guess I don't have to ask where I am.
(GHOSTLY SCREAMS)
He killed you.
I'm sorry.
That thing is gonna murder my family if I don't get back.
I am trapped here. I'm getting weaker
the longer I'm away from my body.
(SIGHS)
Elise.
Elise, she's not here.
Well, then we'll have to find her.
(DOOR CREAKS)
Into the Further we go.
FEMALE VOICE: You need to kill the others.
It's the only way to stay alive.
Shut up! Shut up! Get out of my head!
Shutup! Get outta here!
Get out of my head!
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
Okay, I've just got a message from Tucker. He says they're ready.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
JOSH". Elise?
(GHOSTLY VOICES WHISPERING)
CARL: Elise!
(GHOSTLY SCREAMS)
Don't do that.
What is it?
There's someone standing in front of you.
I don't see anybody.
CARL: He's right in front of you!
He's...
He's talking to you.
What's he saying?
CARL". "He's got your baby."
"He's got your baby. He's got your baby. He's got your baby."
He's got your baby. He's got your baby.
What's he doing now?
He...
He's pointing at something.
Over there.
RENAI: I heard this noise coming from Kali's room. It was on the baby monitor.
JOSH: Probably just interference.
RENAI:. I don't know.
It sounded so clear. It was like this whispering. It was...
Scared the hell out of me.
RENAI: Then I went to hear the monitor and turned up the volume
and heard a man's voice.
I ran up there and I looked inside.
JOSH: Probably just some noise. Those things always pick up...
(GASPING)
(KALI CRYING OVER BABY MONITOR)
No! No! No. (THUNDER RUMBLING)
(PANTING) No! Hey!
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Who the hell is that?
Hold on.
Stay here.
Renai!
(GASPS)
Hello?
No. Josh, no!
(KALI CRYING OVER BABY MONITOR)
Josh! Josh! Quick! There's someone in here! Someone in the curtains!
(CONTINUES CRYING)
CARL'. Josh! Josh!
Renai!
(BANGS ON DOOR)
(ALARM BLARING)
(RENAI SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Renai!
JOSH: Get away from her! (GROWLS)
Get away from her!
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMS)
ELSE'. Go to hell!
(SCREAMS)
Josh. (SIGHS)
I wish I could say it's good to see you.
I'm so sorry.
You shouldn't be here.
We all pass through this place eventually.
Hopefully, on our way to someplace better.
(SIGHS) I've seen that better place,
but I came back here because I heard you calling,
and I think I can help.
Carl, what are you doing here?
You are not supposed to be here.
I failed you, Elise.
Oh...
No, you didn't. No, you didn't.
You were looking for Josh and you found him.
Josh, you don't belong here,
and neither does that entity belong in your world.
I don't know how to fight her.
Out there in the darkness,
she has a home where all her memories live from her life.
Use those memories to draw her out of your vessel
so that you can get back into your body.
But where do I find her home?
Only you know where that is.
(SIGHS)
I don't remember.
Maybe we're asking the wrong Josh.
What happened?
I saw what haunts him, and it's not a friend. It's a parasite.
I've never felt such a malignant presence.
It wants to be him.
Miss Lambert, I think your son has a unique ability, a gift.
Josh.
I need your help.
I don't have any memories of the old woman anymore,
but you do.
I need to know where she lives.
I'll show you.
(GASPS)
So that's what that was about.
(DOOR CREAKING)
Carl?
(OBJECT CREAKING)
Josh?
Hi, honey. (CLEARS THROAT)
I'm waiting for the boys. They're not home yet.
Did my friend Carl stop by today?
No, I don't think so.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
You did this to yourselves!
(SCREAMING)
(CHUCKUNG)
It's been so long since I felt real pain.
Renai, help me!
I missed it, but not as much as I miss inflicting it on others.
(SCREAMS)
(WHIMPERS)
(GRUNTING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(GRUNTING)
Renai, get out of here! Run!
I'll come back for you, Mommy!
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)
JESSICA: Okay, guys, we're here. FOSTER: Yay!
DALTON: Thanks, Jessica.
FOSTER: Thank you. JESSICA: No problem. See you tomorrow.
DALTON: Let's go, Foster.
(GROANING)
I didn't want this, RenaL
She wanted me to kill you, but I said no.
But now, I know she was right.
(GASPING)
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
You are a miserable, ungrateful *****.
You have no idea how much you've wasted
your life being afraid of the dead,
because pretty soon, you're going to be one of them.
Then, when I take you to my home in the dark,
you'll realize how happy you should've been
for your brief, little moment in the sun.
(CHOKING)
(EXHALES)
(WHEEZING)

Mommy! Mommy!
(SCREAMS) Daddy!No!

(THUDDING)
(PANTING)
Hello?
My name is Parker!
What is this?
Did you do this?
Don't you dare!
But, Mommy...
Speak the truth.
Did you?
(WHIMPERING)
Yes. That is not your name!
Parker is not your name!
That is the name your father gave you!
Your name
is Marilyn.
Do you understand?
Repeat after me.
"My name is Marilyn."
Say m
My name is...
Marilyn.
Quiet, now.
If you don't be a good little girl, you'll get...
(GROWLING)
Mommy, Mommy, I can go into the dark place
and find Daddy, if I go to sleep.
No, it's too dangerous.
I nearly lost you once before.
I'm not gonna let that happen again.
Loan find him. I promise I'll find him. I promise.
I will.
Turn around.
(LOUD THUDDING)
(WHIMPERING) It's okay!
Be careful.
I love you.
Destroy her, Josh! End this!

Parker, help me destroy the memories of her.
It will set you free.
Please let me in.
Open the door.

Little girls need to learn to be good!

(SCREAMING)
Baby!
Hey!
RENAI: Hey, come back! Come back!
(COUGHING)
Elise!
Josh, go now.
I wish I could take you with me.
I can't. But you can take Carl.
What?
I told you, you don't belong here.
I felt your heartbeat when I hugged you.
You're still alive. It's time to live again.
But you both have to go now!
Go now!
Go!
(GHOSTLY WHISPERS)
(SPIRITS SCREAMING)
(JOSH GASPS)
Get away!
(SPIRITS SNARLING)
JOSH: Get back! Get back!
DALTON". Daddy!
(GASPING) Dalton?
Dalton!
DALTON". Daddy!
(JOSH STUTTERS)
Where are you, son?
Daddy!
Oh!
Oh, good boy! What are you doing here?
I came to bring you home!
How did you find me?
I followed your steps.
RENAY. Please wake up!
Where are you? Come back, come on!
Come back to me.
That's Mommy.
Wake up!
Get back to me!
CARL: Clever boy. Follow me.
Wake up.
Come on, wake up!
(COUGHING)
(GASPING)
(PANTING)

It's me.
Renai, it's me, it's okay.
It's okay.
Daddy?
Yeah.
Daddy, you're back!
Yeah.
Thanks to you.
My boys. Hey, buddy.
Renai, it's me, it's okay.
I tried reaching you. I tried everything. (STUTTERS)
I played your song.
I should've known it was you.
Only you could play it that badly.
(BOTH LAUGH';
(EXCLAIMING)
(SCREAMING)
Bring it!
(SIGHS)
Are you ready?
We're ready.
Ready to forget once and for all.
No more traveling, right?
This is the only world we wanna be in.
Good, Mr. Lambert.
So then, close your eyes.
Both of you.
Now take a deep breath,
and just listen to the ticking.
Now feel yourselves getting sleepier and sleepier,
and let the darkness drift further
and further away.
BRIAN: Who is it? I have a message for you.
It's about Allison.
Is this some kind of joke?
We have a close personal friend who has, uh,
spoken with Allison.
That's not possible.
You better leave now or I'm calling the police.
Wait, Brian.
Who are you guys?
Uh... We help people, ma'am.
People who've been afflicted by... Who's the lady?
What lady, honey?
The lady standing behind them.
(SHUSHES)
Um...
SPECS: Our friend told us to tell you
that Allison's accident was no accident.
When she was resuscitated back to life at the hospital,
she brought something back with her.
TUCKER: Not just one thing, many things.
And they're living here in this house with you.
Allison.
