- Are you hurt? Are you okay? Are you hurt?

- My neck!

- Someone's in here.

- There's someone in here?

I'm here now. It's okay.

Careful.

This will prevent her from moving in a way

that could injure her neck further.

Easy.

Just hold still.

Thank you.

Quinn, what happened?

I was thrown out of bed.

But there was no one in your room.

I would've seen them.

It wasn't a person.

It was...

Before I thought that it was Mom

trying to contact me.

But it's not. It's something else.

- Are you sure it wasn't just a bad dream?

- No! I saw him.

He had on a mask.

He had on a breathing mask.

I believe you.

I do. You're gonna be okay now.

Get some rest out here.

I think we got everything we need.

Come on. Thank you very much.

Harry?

She's gone.

She just wouldn't wake up.

Harry, I'm sorry.

People called her the "cat lady,"

"crazy lady," but she wasn't any of that.

She was somebody. She meant something.

She was my wife.

We were together 52 years.

She had a whole life

before she got sick.

She was beautiful.

So, so beautiful.

The most beautiful girl

in the whole town.

I knew she didn't have long,

and I tried my best to tell her

what she meant to me.

The sad part is

I don't think she understood a word

I was trying to say.

She knew what you said.

She knows how much you love her.

Harry, if you ever need anything,

anything, just tell me, okay?

Thanks.

Help. Help!

Help! Help!

Dad.

Dad! Help!

Help!

Help!

Dad! Dad, help me!

- Dad!

- Quinn!

What are you doing up here?

Dad, I told you.

Jesus, he jumped.

- Quinn!

- Dad!

Dad, help! Help!

Quinn. Quinn.

- Who's there?

- It's Sean Brenner.

I'm Quinn's father.

I told her I don't really

give readings anymore.

Believe me, I wanna help,

but this ability I have

to contact the other side,

I promised myself

I wouldn't do it anymore.

Look, I don't know anything

about this stuff.

I don't know what's real, what's not.

I only know her, she's real.

She's my daughter,

and something's trying to kill her,

and I don't know what to do to stop it.

I can't let that happen again,

not after my wife.

She told me that you lost your wife.

I'm so sorry.

Loving someone

is just delayed pain, isn't it?

Eventually you're gonna lose them

one way or the other.

I lost my husband a year ago.

He took his own life.

So, I couldn't even blame fate.

He'd suffered depression before,

but I never thought that...

There are so many things

I needed to say to him.

Goodbye would've been nice.

So, I tried to contact him.

I just couldn't help it.

There are two worlds

that exist beyond ours, Mr. Brenner.

Think of them as light and dark.

I visited the dark, looking for him,

something I'd never done before.

Something we living people

are not supposed to do.

But someone followed me back.

A woman, an entity driven by evil.

Ever since then,

whenever I use my ability, this woman,

I could hear her in my head,

screaming over and over

that she's going to kill me.

I think...

No, I know if I continue with this work,

she's going to kill me.

Then just visit Quinn.

It's all I ask.

You don't have to do anything else.

Just talk to her.

Thank you.

We're gonna be okay.

Quinn?

Elise.

You came.

Lucky you look good in white.

What's happening to me?

One night after you came to see me,

I had a vision of you.

You were standing in the dark.

A man was walking toward you.

A man who couldn't breathe.

I've been to that dark place, too.

It's not a place for pure souls.

It is very dangerous.

When you go there,

things come back with you.

I don't wanna die, Elise.

You have a long life ahead of you.

I cross my heart.

I'm here with Quinn Brenner.

I want to speak to the entity

that has attached itself to her.

Can you hear me?

Are you there?

- Where is the man who can't breathe?

- I wasn't trying to upset him.

Get away from me! Get away!

I'm not going any further.

I always wanted to know how I would go

Tell me, friend, how I meet my end

No!

Elise!

Elise. Elise.

Elise! Wake up! Elise!

Wake up! Elise!

The woman that wants to kill me

was waiting for me.

I'm sorry. I can't. I can't help you.

I'm sorry. I can't do it.

I'm telling you, Dad.

These guys can help.

Throughout this hospital over the years,

a lot of paranormal experts

have come in here and then the...

I don't know. They look like fools.

They found a house

that was being haunted,

and they cleaned it. Trust me.

I don't.

Dad, we have to do something.

- I'm Sean, Quinn's dad.

- Hey. Specs.

- Tucker.

- This is Alex.

Yeah, he's a big fan of your website.

- Web series.

- Web series.

I showed him that one where you guys

get the ghost out of that one hotel.

- The boiler room ghost?

- Yeah.

- That was a good one.

- Yeah. Thanks, little man.

- Some of my best editing on that one.

- Definitely some of our best editing.

So, do you guys do this kind of thing often?

This ghost hunting?

- All the time.

- Yeah. It's actually all we do.

We literally don't do anything else.

Just this.

So what happens now?

Probably five, maybe four.

Excuse me?

And I have to call you back.

I'm just with some peeps. Roger that.

Come on. She's in here.

- Thank you. Pass the trash.

- Here you go.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Now, this custom-made camera of mine

is outfitted with a small lens.

- Basically a hidden camera.

- It's not basic and it's not hidden.

'Cause we're keeping it right out in the open

to capture whatever may occur tonight.

We do hide it though, sometimes.

Thanks.

This is our sound backup.

Any noises will be recorded right here.

- What do I do?

- Nothing.

You just go to sleep

like you normally would.

We are the ones who stay awake.

Hello, Elise.

It's been too long.

I save you for special occasions.

That's her.

She says one day, eventually,

I'm going to die by her hand,

and I believe her.

That's why I had to stop using my gift.

But now I'm realizing

my gift is all I have.

It's all I am.

First of all, okay,

you are more than one thing.

And, second, you've been helping people

get rid of these spirits for so long.

Well, eventually, one of them

was gonna come after you.

You can't be afraid of her.

All right, you're stronger than her.

- You're alive.

- Yes, I'm alive.

But I have spent more time on this earth

among the dead than the living.

- Do you really think we help people, Carl?

- We do what we can.

If someone gets attacked

by a person on the street,

they can go to the police.

If they're attacked

by something they can't see,

something they can't comprehend,

they only have people like us to go to.

Here.

Look at what you did for that family.

You saved them.

That boy is a grown man now

with a son of his own.

I don't want you to stop

helping families like them.

They need you too much.

- What's that?

- I don't know.

She's up.

What? No. No.

- She can't be doing that. That's impossible.

- Well, she's doing it.

Go. Go!

She's gone. Come on. Look.

I gotta go get her.
