said it would be

a way to reach out.

At first, it seemed good.

- Then the picture.

- And at the end,

she wasn't hurting just herself.

A psychiatrist

couldn't save her.

I took her back here

to try myself.

I tried everything I knew

to help her...

- [ Morgan yelling ]

- to get inside her mind...

and quiet her.

[ no audible dialogue ]

But I couldn't.

Then I lost her.

I told myself her pain was over,

she was free.

I don't know

what else I could have done.

- Something's changed.

Morgan's not the same girl

that she was when she was alive,

and, Maya, I need

to find out what happened.

- And how we can make her stop.

- There is one thing...

but I can't do it alone.

[ lantern clatters ]

- Is this a sance?

- Kristen will enter a trance.

Morgan has chosen you.

She has entered your mind,

and now you will enter hers.

[ ringing echoes ]

Give me your hands.

Close your eyes.

[ wind blowing ]

Breathe in, long and slow.

- [ breathing deeply ]

- Draw in the breath of life

deep within you.

Now, as you exhale,

let it leave you

like it left her.

Release your own spirit

from your body...

and draw hers in.

- [ screams ]

- It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Just keep going.

Just keep breathing.

Close your eyes.

You're doing fine.

That's good.

With each breath,

you are letting go

of the living world.

Now...

feel the eye within your mind

opening to her sight.

[ wind blowing ]

[ camera clicks ]

[ ringtones chiming ]

- [ laughing ]

- You disgusting freak.

You b*tch!

Kill yourself, Morgan.

Nobody f***ing likes you.

- You're a disgusting whore.

- [ yelling, jeering ]

- [ crying ]

[ voices murmuring ]

- You're f***ing disgusting.

- Look at yourself.

- You should

f***ing die, Morgan.

- Just die.

- You should f***ing

kill yourself, Morgan.

- You're so f***ing disgusting.

[ no audible dialogue ]

- [ yell ]

- [ grunts ]

- Are you okay?

- What happened?

what did you see?

- All that hatred

got inside of her.

It was like a disease.

She couldn't tell the difference

between the voices that

were in her head and her own.

They told her

she was a monster, and--

and that's exactly

what she became.

- Well, how do we stop it?

MAYA:
It's too late.

There's nothing

we can do for her.

- What, for her?

What about us?

She's gonna kill us!

- Whoa, what are you

talking about, "us"?

You--Wait.

You didn't even know her.

No.

No, you couldn't have.

- My God.

It was you!

- You--You told me that she

went after anyone who posted.

I thought it was a psychopath

just out for revenge.

I went on,

and I told him to go to hell.

I was just trying

to draw him out.

I gave you the pills

and made you go to sleep,

and I went, and I got this,

and I waited.

- What the--

- But it wasn't a psycho.

It was her.

You...

you have to stop her!

- Even if I could,

I'd rather die.

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

She's never gonna forgive us.

- [ wail echoes ]

- She's coming.

I can hear her.

She's coming for me!

- Jake.

- Oh, fu--You have to help us.

- [ screams ]

[ objects clatter ]

- Jake!

[ footsteps thumping ]

Jake?

[ panting ]

Jake?

[ sobs ]

[ iron objects clinking ]

- [ whoosh ]

- [ gasps ]

Jake?

God, are you in here?

Come on.

Oh, my God. Jake. Thank God.

We have to get out of here.

- I knew this would happen.

- What are you talking about?

- I knew.

- Jake, no.

No, no, no, okay?

You don't have to do anything.

Just put the gun down.

No, Jake, stop. Stop.

Stop. You were just a kid.

You didn't know

what you were doing.

- She's right behind you.

- No, Jake!

- [ gunshot ]

[ body falls ]

[ crying ]

[ oozing ]

- Come up now.

It's all right.

No.

I would never wish this

upon you or him.

This vengeful spirit

is not my granddaughter.

This is not what she would want.

I don't know

if I can free you from her,

but I want to try.

It'll be painful,

but in the end,

you won't see her anymore.

- What about Morgan?

What's gonna happen to her?

- If you don't shut her out,

she will destroy you.

- I can't just leave her.

I need to help her.

I have come this far.

I need to help her.

Please.

- She's upstairs.

[ stairs creaking ]

- [ screams ] Help me!

[ sobs ]

[ screaming ]

[ panting ]

Go away. No!

[ panting ] Go away.

[ screams ]

No.

[ panting ]

No. [ panting ] Go away.

[ panting stops ]

- It's okay, it's almost over.

[ laughs ]

- Morgan.

I'm here.

[ birds chirping ]

- Honey, can I get you anything?

Will you at least talk to me?

- We never should have left her.

- [ sighs ]

There was--There was no way

we could have known.

- She was our girl, Michael.

[ sobs ]

Our little baby girl.

- I know. Come here.

[ thump ]

- [ gasping ] No.

I don't...

- Morgan.

Morgan, shh.

It's okay.

Morgan, it's okay. Shh.

They're not real.

They're not real.

They're not real.

They're not real. I am.

Morgan, shh. It's okay.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

You see?

You see?

They're not gonna hurt you.

They're gone, okay?

They're gone.

Shh, it's okay.

I'm not going anywhere.

They won't come back.

They won't come back,

won't come back.

I'll stay with you until

they never come back, okay?

I'm here. I'll stay.

[ crackling ]

Shh, it's okay.

I'm not going anywhere.
