I'll have a talk with him.

- Thank you.

- All right?

Be careful up here, all right?

Eventful evening.

Hey, why did you disappear?

Wow, what?

Been here the whole time.

No you haven't.

You're right, fine, I lied.

Yeah, you do that a lot,

don't you?

I like you, Johnny.

But you'll never know me.

That doesn't mean

we can't be friends.

Johnny?

- Hi, Mom.

- Where the hell have you been?

I've been trying to get

a hold of you all day.

I'm home, Mom.

Well, get back here immediately

and bring me my prescriptions.

No, I mean I'm in my home...

in Wellfield.

I can't believe you deliberately

disobeyed me like this.

You better get back here, Johnny!

No, I can't believe you didn't tell me.

How could you hide the truth

from me about my family?

Mom?

You don't understand, Johnny.

Benjamin was an awful man.

I couldn't let you

grow up like that.

So, you lied to me instead?

I didn't lie to you, I just...

just left out the truth?

Just come back here

and we'll discuss this.

I don't know if I'm coming back.

Johnny, please don't do this.

Stupid.

I'm sorry, did I say

you could come in?

Johnny.

That feels good.

Sorry, Bryan.

Save my dying soul.

What's wrong?

You saw something out there,

didn't you?

Yeah.

I didn't hear someone,

just a creak before you got here.

You woke something up.

It's my family.

I think they need my help.

Something touched me

in the other room

and it definitely wasn't

asking for help.

Look, I get if you want to leave.

But I'm not going anywhere

until I find out what happened to them.

I never said I was leaving.

You son of a b*tch.

# Will you walk into my parlor #

# Said the spider to the fly #

# 'Tis the prettiest little parlor #

# That ever you did spy #

# The way into my parlor #

# Is up a winding stair #

# And I have many

curious little things #

# To show you when you're there #

# Oh no no said the fly #

# To ask me is in vain #

# For who goes up

your winding stair... #

...can never come down again.

# I'm sure you must be weary dear #

# With soaring up so high #

# Will you rest upon my little bed #

# Said the spider to the fly #

# There are pretty curtains

drawn around #

# The sheets are fine and thin #

# And if you like to rest awhile #

# I'll snugly tuck you in #

# Oh no no said the fly #

# For I've often heard it said #

# They never never wake again. #

You sleep upon your bed.

Osiris.

Emma?

Emma?

Emma, is that you?

Emma, what the hell

are you doing?

Are you sure about this?

Missed you, brother.

Emma?

What just happened?

You don't actually believe

any of this stuff, do you?

I don't know.

It... it might have something to do

with what happened to my family.

Oh!

Johnny, what's wrong?

Grab the other side.

You okay?

I evoke thee,

oh God of Osiris

in the virtue of the most holy

sacrament, Jesus Christ.

Who, for our redemption,

was crucified, suffered death,

was buried, and rose on the 3rd day

by the power of the spirit

of the God Osiris.

We pray to thee, oh Lords.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

I, Benjamin,

share the gift of the afterlife

with Bryan.

I, Elizabeth,

share the gift of the afterlife

with Bryan.

I, Faith,

share the gift of the afterlife

with Bryan.

Daniel?

- Say it, Daniel.

- Johnny!

Johnny!

What happened?

It was... they were...

they were all right here, all of them.

- Calm down, okay?

- No.

There's no one here but us.

Just you and me.

It was right in front of me,

I could feel it.

I could feel his breath

on my face.

Just you and me, hear me?

What is it?

Do you hearthat?

- Mr. Judson.

- Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I called the hotel this morning.

They said you never

even checked in.

You... you know, I lost track of time

and I decided to crash here.

Well, it would have been helpful

if you'd called to let me know.

You're right, I'm sorry.

I should have.

All right, well,

we're both here now.

What do you say

we get down to business?

Um, sure.

Come on in.

Hold on, hold on.

The offer's well above

market value.

So, probably, if I were you,

I wouldn't even

bother negotiating.

Just sign it,

be done with this dump.

Yeah, I mean,

I'm sure it's great.

Trust me, if you're holding out

for something better to come along,

it will not be happening

in this economy.

I trust you,

it's just I'm not really sure.

I know, real estate can seem

like a daunting task sometimes.

But that's why I'm here,

walk you through it.

What if I didn't want

to sell the house?

Excuse me?

I just... I sort of feel obligated

to keep it.

It's my family's home.

Johnny, you didn't even

know them.

Yeah, I know that.

Listen, kid, I took on this case

under the agreement

that I receive a percentage

of the sale.

I'm sorry, Mr. Judson.

Then maybe you should rethink

making such a detrimental decision.

This is the last thing

that I need.

Who is that?

He's been harassing me.

That's David Mackey.

Mack.

Guess you could say he's your, uh...

half brother.

What?

Benjamin wasn't exactly the most...

faithful husband.

But don't worry, he doesn't have

any claim to the estate.

I'll handle it.

My brother?

Hey, David.

Yeah, this really isn't the time

or the place...

I just want to talk to him.

Yeah, from what I understand

you already talked to him yesterday.

I want to talk to Bryan.

Uh, yeah, he goes by Johnny now.

I want to talk to Bryan.

Where'd Daniel put him?

We can arrange a time,

a place, that's fine.

Give me the baby, Daniel.

Excuse me?

No, there's one more.

David, you really need

to get going now.

- Hi.

- Hey.

What's going on?

I'm not sure.

Give me the baby, Daniel!

Bullshit!

Oh, my God.

David.

It has to be finished.

Jesus!

Bryan!

Behind the door.

Emma!

Hey, just... just let her go.

I don't want her.

There's one more.

Help me, please!

I'm sorry!

Save our souls, Bryan!

Ah!

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, are you okay?

He's dead.

We gotta call the cops.

You can't.

We have to.

No, Johnny, you can't.

Judson had a...

had a cell phone.

I'll go get it.

He was right there.

Come on, Johnny,

let's go inside.

Hey!

What are you doing back?

What the hell did you do

with the bodies out there?

I didn't touch the bodies.

What's going on?

Look, I've been

investigating this case

since even after they forced me

into retirement.

So, you know what happened?

Yeah, I was there.

Your father was convinced

that there was a code in the Bible

that... that somehow linked

the resurrection of Jesus

to the Egyptian God Osiris...

that he used it to rise

from the dead.

I found his Bible last night.

Well, there was only one problem.

They never completed the ritual.

And so your family

is now trapped in limbo.

Wait!

Why?

They want the last survivor.

Look, trust me.

Until they have finished

what they've started,

their souls can't move on.

Your father told me

there was one more.

One more?

That's what Mack said.

Right now, they're out

looking for hosts.
