Insidious: Chapter 2
Hi. I'm Elise.
You must be Lorraine.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry it's so late.
My day job kind of makes
raising my son a night job.
In my line of work, things tend
to happen when it gets dark.
Please.
Thank you.
Ahoy, Carl!
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...
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.
I interviewed the boy.
He won't tell me anything.
He's afraid.
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.
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.
Who is "she"?
She says
she's a friend.
Where is she
right at this moment?
Is she here in
this house with us?
I'd like
to talk to her.
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.
Getting warm.
Hotter.
It's very hot.
Please get out of there.
Who are you'?
What do you want'?
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.
Do whatever you have to
Make him forget.
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.
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
"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?
Josh!
Josh, where are you'?
Josh!
Renai.
I'm right here.
Renai!
What?
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.
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.
Jessica, we're home.
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.
Say hi to your mom from me.
I will.
Oh. Mom,
I'll get that.
I'll go up
and make the beds.
All right.
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.
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-
Lorraine?
It's okay.
It's still happening.
What is?
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
There is nothing normal about this, okay'?
Elise is dead! No one's talking about it!
Someone murdered her!
Then let's talk about it.
You think I did ii?
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
Yeah.
You think all the
ghosts we've seen
would somehow make me feel
better that Elise is gone.
I mean, you and I have
firsthand knowledge that there's
