IF YOU TWO WOULD HAVE

TOLD ME EVERYTHING.

YOU THINK WHAT HAPPENED

LAST NIGHT WAS BAD?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT'S COMING,

AND I AM NOT GOING

TO STICK AROUND AND WAIT FOR IT.

I KILLED DANNY.

MALLORY DOESN'T KNOW.

SHE WENT INTO HIS ROOM

TO CHECK ON HIM.

AND HE ATTACKED HER.

SHE RAN OUT OF THE ROOM

FOR MY HELP.

AND I LOOKED AROUND...

AND I STRANGLED HIM.

UNTIL HE STOPPED BREATHING.

I DID IT SO THAT WHATEVER

WAS TURNING HIS EYES BLACK

COULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

SO THAT'S IT.

THESE THINGS:

NEED SOMETHING:

TO HELP THEM MANIPULATE

OUR WORLD.

SOMETIMES IT'S HEAT,

SO YOU GET SUDDEN

POCKETS OF COLD.

AND SOMETIMES IT'S ELECTRICITY

SO YOU GET MANIFESTATIONS

OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING,

AND--

SOMETIMES--

SOMETIMES IT'S EMOTIONS.

STRONG ONES.

LIKE OURS.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGH WAS BECAUSE OF YOU BOTH.

YOUR SPIRIT FEELS GUILTY.

AND YOU'VE WOUND MALLORY UP

SO TIGHT SHE'S ABOUT TO POP.

POWERFUL STUFF:

FROM THE BOTH OF YOU.

YOU TWO ARE QUITE THE FEAST.

I NEED YOU TO STAY...

FOR MALLORY.

HEY, WHERE YOU GOING?

THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE.

-DO YOU EVER COME OUT HERE?

-NO.

WELL I MEAN,

SOMETIMES, I GUESS.

WHICH WAY DO YOU USUALLY GO?

THAT WAY.

F*** OFF.

OH!

-SOMETHING WRONG?

-NO.

THERE'S SOME HIGH LEVEL

ACTIVITY HERE.

I'M WITH MALLORY MCDOWELL

AT THE CLEARING:

ABOUT A MILE AWAY

FROM THE MAIN CABIN

DOWN THE LEFT SIDE

OF THE FORK.

SAY SOMETHING.

UM, HELLO.

IS THERE SOMETHING

YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME?

-NO.

-I THINK YOU FORGE WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO.

SOMEONE WAS HERE.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BOY HERE

THE OTHER DAY.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I TRIED TO SAVE HIM,

BUT HE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

AND WE COULDN'T TELL ANYBODY.

I HAVE TO PROTECT FRANK.

FIND YOURSELF:

SOMEBODY ELSE TO HELP YOU.

DO YOU FEEL THAT?

WE HAVE TO GO!

WE HAVE TO GO! COME ON!

DON'T LOOK AT IT!

COME ON!

WE GOTTA GO!

COME ON! LET'S GO!

DON'T STOP!

FRANK!

COME ON! THIS WAY!

OH, MY GOD.

I AM SO, SO SORRY.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

I DON'T.

I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

PLEASE! PLEASE!

-WHAT WAS THAT?

-I DON'T KNOW.

USUALLY THEY'RE JUS RESIDUAL HAUNTS

LIKE A STRONG MEMORY

PLAYED BACK OVER AND OVER.

IT'S USUALLY TOTALLY

HARMLESS STUFF.

YEAH, I'D TAKE ONE OF THOSE

ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

I MEAN, IN MY EXPERIENCE

THEY JUST NEED CLOSURE

OR, LIKE, AN EXTRA PUSH

TO MOVE ON.

TO WHERE?

-TO WHERE?

-I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING

PHYSICALLY MANIFES -OR HARM PEOPLE.

-OKAY, ALL RIGHT,

SO MAYBE WE CAN JUST PUSH THEM

ON OURSELVES, RIGHT?

OKAY, WE COULD

JUST SEND THEM AWAY.

-I--

-YOU DON'T KNOW.

SO NOW WHAT?

WELL, WE NEED TO GO FIND

MY WORK ORDER.

AND WE NEED TO LOOK

FOR THAT BOY.

I WAS AFRAID:

YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT.

LOOK, I REALLY

THINK THAT WE NEED

TO JUST TAKE:

A MINUTE TO DRY OFF HERE.

OKAY?

THE LAKE.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

WHEN WE WERE RUNNING

TOWARDS THE LAKE,

I KEPT HEARING:

THE WORD "WATER."

YOU MEAN LIKE ONE

OF YOUR FEELINGS?

THE LAKE DISRUPTED

WHATEVER WAS FOLLOWING US.

IF I COULD--

IF I CAN JUST FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M WITH MELANY MCDOWELL

AT THE CLEARING:

ABOUT A MILE AWAY

FROM THE MAIN CABIN

DOWN THE LEFT SIDE

OF THE FORK.

SAY SOMETHING.

UM, HELLO.

MOMMY.

MALLORY, IS THAT YOUR SON'S?

YEAH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY:

OF HIS OTHER THINGS HERE?

-NO.

-JUST THIS?

-YEAH.

-OKAY.

HOLD IT UP.

HIS SPIRIT MIGHT BE ATTRACTED

TO THE THING YOU SAVE.

-REALLY?

-NO, THAT'S NO NECESSARILY A GOOD THING.

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT DANNY

NEEDS HELP MOVING ON,

AND HIS SPIRI IS REACHING OUT.

BUT, I MEAN, DANNY

WOULD NEVER HURT US.

NO, NO, IT'S NOT INTENTIONAL.

HE'S LOST. HE'S CONFUSED.

AND SOMETIMES THEY LASH OUT.

JUST LIKE PEOPLE.

I MEAN HE DID HAVE

SOME TANTRUMS.

EXACTLY. SO WE'RE GONNA

HAVE A SMALL CEREMONY

TO HELP YOUR SON CROSS OVER.

WE'RE GONNA BURN THIS

IN A CLEANSING FIRE,

-AND THEN WE SCATTER

THE ASHES.

-NO.

ONCE THERE'S A CONNECTION

TO THE OTHER WORLD,

IT'S EASIER TO OPEN

THE DOOR AGAIN,

AND OTHER THINGS

CAN COME THROUGH, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

"OTHER THINGS"?

BURNING IT, MALLORY,

IS THE ONLY WAY:

TO HELP HIM THROUGH

AND CLOSE THAT DOOR.

-SORRY, I'M LEAVING.

-I NEED TO DO THIS NOW.

-NO, I'M SORRY.

-GIVE IT TO ME.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH.

OKAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE MISSING BOY?

HUH? DID YOU COME

INTO CONTACT WITH HIM

-BEFORE HE DIED?

-UM...

YEAH, I MEAN, HE--

HE WAS HERE A FEW DAYS AGO.

WELL, WHY DIDN' YOU TELL ME THAT?

THIS IS HIS PARENTS' HOUSE.

WE RENT FROM THEM.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING

OF HIS HERE?

DID-- MAYBE HE LEF SOMETHING BEHIND?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THINK SO.

WELL, WE NEED TO GET IN TOUCH

WITH HIS PARENTS RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE THEIR PHONE NUMBER.

THEY'RE STILL NOT ANSWERING.

HELLO?

HELLO?

MR. COOPER?

MRS. COOPER?

MR. COOPER?

MRS. COOPER?

OH, GOD!

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY!

OH, MY GOD!

-AHH!

-SHH, SHH.

MALLORY, MALLORY,

LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

WHAT?

-WAS THAT THE MISSING BOY?

-YES.

OKAY, IT'S OKAY.

LET'S GO.

LET'S GO!

SAY SOMETHING.

UM, HELLO.

MOMMY.

AND THIS IS THE FOOTAGE

THAT I CAPTURED LAST NIGHT.

IT'S KINDA HARD TO MAKE OUT,

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING

RIGHT THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS.

IT'S PUSHING THROUGH.

WHAT IS?

SOMETHING BIG.

I REVIEWED MY ENTRIES

NOTING THE TIME:

OF ALL THE INCIDENCES

SINCE I GOT HERE.

THE INTERVALS:

ARE GETTING SHORTER,

IT'S GETTING CLOSER.

AND NOW WITH THE COOPERS,

WHATEVER IT IS,

IT'S SPREADING OUT.

AT THIS POINT, I THINK WE ONLY

HAVE A QUESTION OF HOURS LEFT.

BEFORE WHAT?

I'D RATHER NOT FIND OUT.

GUARDIANS,

I CALL UPON YOU NOW.

WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP

WATCH OVER US TONIGHT.

LET ALL WHO ENTER

UNDER YOUR GUIDANCE

DO SO IN PERFECT LOVE

AND PERFECT TRUST.

DANNY MCDOWELL,

WE SEEK YOU.

YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER

ARE HERE FOR YOU.

PLEASE HONOR US:

WITH YOUR PRESENCE.

-HE'S HERE.

-WHERE?

NO, NOT PHYSICALLY,

BUT HE'S AROUND.

CAN HE HEAR ME?

SAY SOMETHING TO HIM.

SWEETHEART, IT'S MOMMY.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,

AND I THINK:

ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY,

EVERY MINUTE,

AND EVERY SECOND.

HE HEARS YOU.

HE'S HAPPY.

I CAN FEEL HIS LOVE FOR YOU.

YOU BOTH.

HEY, BUDDY.

I JUST WANNA SAY HOW--

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

JUST TALK TO HIM.

I HOPE YOU'RE IN

A BETTER PLACE NOW.

NO MORE FEAR AND PAIN.

AND ALL YOU REMEMBER

ARE THE HAPPY TIMES,

'CAUSE THAT'S ALL

I TRY TO REMEMBER.

I MISS YOU, DANNY.

AND I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

HE UNDERSTANDS.

DANNY MCDOWELL,

WE RELEASE YOU:

FROM THE BONDS:

THAT KEEP YOU:

FROM THE LIGHT.

GO WITH LOVE.

HE DOESN'T WANNA LEAVE.

DANNY, IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY. GO.

HE'S AFRAID.

SWEETHEART,

DON'T BE AFRAID.

NO, HE'S NOT AFRAID

FOR HIMSELF,

HE'S AFRAID FOR YOU.

HE'S GONE.

HE'S GONE.

-THANK YOU.

-FOR WHAT?

I'D PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP,

AS MUCH AS I DIDN'T WANT TO.

AND HELPING YOU:

HAS MADE ME REALIZE

THAT I'M READY

TO JUMP BACK IN:

AND HELP OTHERS.

PEOPLE NEED ME.

I CAN'T HIDE FROM THAT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU GOT ROOM FOR ONE MORE?

I THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED

A BIGGER BED.

NAH.

IT'S OKAY.
