Can you hear us? Answer us.

Who's there?

Dalton, it's your mother and father.

We've been searching for you.

Where are you?

I can't see in here.

Dalton... Dalton, you don't need to see.

Follow my voice.

Follow my voice, Dalton.

Dalton. Why aren't you...

Why aren't you talking anymore?

Dalton?

If they hear me, they'll hurt me.

Who will hurt you?

Who will hurt you, Dalton?

The man

with

fire

on his face.

Dalton.

Dalton, can you find your way out?

There is

no way out.

Follow my voice, Dalton. Follow my voice.

Be quiet.

They'll hear you.

They won't hear me, Dalton. Follow my voice.

Follow my voice.

They heard you.

Oh, my God.

Mommy and Daddy.

Help. Help.

Help me, help me, help.

Dalton?

You b*tch.

Dalton?

Specs!

Leave this vessel!

Leave this vessel!

Leave this vessel!

Leave this vessel! Leave this vessel!

Leave his body!

Tucker, turn on the light!

Leave this body now!

Come here, Dalton.

Son. Come here.

-He's alive. He's alive, oh, God.

-He's alive? Jesus.

-Honey.

-Oh, God.

Three cameras. Around the clock.

We got nothing.

But I did find this on the video.

Take a look.

Take a look.

You see that?

I went through it.

Frame by frame

by frame.

Oh, my God.

-Who's that?

-I'll get it.

Hi, Lorraine.

Mom, what are you doing here?

I asked your mother to come over.

I called her immediately after the session.

-Why?

-There's something we must talk about.

Lorraine, have a seat.

Go on. Tell him.

Tell me what, Mom?

The reason

I knew to call Elise in this situation,

the reason I know her so well,

is because I called her myself once,

years ago,

to help you.

What are you talking about, Mom?

It's no accident

that your son is a gifted traveler.

The ability was handed down to him.

By his father.

Me?

No, I don't do... I can't do that.

When you were about eight,

you suffered night terrors,

these awful fits of pure fear.

You were terrified of an old woman

you said used to come visit you at night.

I dismissed your stories. I...

I told you to grow up.

And then I saw her for myself.

At first, I thought it was a camera problem.

And then I saw her again.

In each photo,

she got closer

and closer

and closer to you.

Finally, I was so frightened, I found Elise.

Do you remember any of this, honey, do you?

No. I don't.

Suppressing your memory

and your ability to astral project

was the only way to stop her

from getting into you.

But in the back of your mind,

you're still afraid to have your picture taken,

aren't you?

I kept those photos

hidden from you ever since.

I advised Lorraine to hide them,

to stop taking your picture,

to just let you forget.

-Who is she?

-A parasite.

She befriended your astral body

and then drew you out into the Further,

just as Dalton has been drawn out.

I'm so sorry, Josh.

I didn't want to make you remember all this.

I do it for the sake of your son.

Your son is out there.

And you are the only one

that can bring him back.

And with what we saw tonight,

I would say he doesn't have much time left

to wait for you.

Okay.

You've always been stronger than me.

You can do this.

-I love you.

-I love you.

Please come back.

Remember why you're traveling

and keep one foot in this world.

Do not draw attention to yourself.

If they realize you are not one of them,

they will come for your physical body

in this world.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

I don't know what I'm ready for, but... Okay.

Close your eyes, Josh,

take a deep breath, and relax.

With each breath,

let the life around you

fade into the background.

Just listen to the ticking of the metronome.

Focus on the spot

in the center of your forehead.

The universe is deathless.

It is deathless because having no finite self,

it stays infinite.

A sound man, by not advancing himself,

stays the further ahead of himself.

It's useless. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Now you're outside.

Let my voice be your guide.

Keep a steady stride.

Into the Further you go.

Dalton.

He's in.

Dalton!

Hello?

Hello?

Wait!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

I'm looking for my son Dalton.

Dalton!

Dalton!

Where's my son?

Tell me where my son is.

Please.

What's happening to him?

Jesus.

Help him, Elise! Please!

You're stronger than they are, Josh.

You can beat them. You are stronger.

You are the one alive.

Get away from me!

-Dalton!

-Daddy?

-Oh, God! Buddy!

-Daddy!

-Oh, my God! Oh, buddy.

-Daddy.

-Oh, my God.

-Daddy.

Oh, buddy, it's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Oh, God.

-Daddy, look. I'm chained.

-Okay. Okay. Okay.

Face me, buddy. Face me. Come here.

We'll get you out.

We'll get you out, buddy, okay?

Daddy's here. Daddy's here.

What? What?

On, God. Okay.

It's okay. Listen to me. Look at me.

None of this is real, okay? This is not real.

Look at me. Look at my eyes, buddy.

None of this is real.

We're going to go home, okay?

You gotta help me.

There's one.

Oh, my God, Dad. He's looking.

Come on, baby. Stay here, baby.

Come on, stay with us.

Daddy!

He's made contact.

Grab the light!

He found your son.

I know it.

Well, then wake them up, for God sake!

I can't. He needs to find us.

I'm scared, Dad.

No! Stop!

Please, Elise, do something!

Renal, you must call out to him.

Josh. Josh. Follow my voice!

Follow my voice, honey.

Get away! Get away!

Come back to us!

Follow my voice, Josh.

Daddy! Listen, I think it's Mommy!

Josh, come back to me. Follow my voice.

Josh, follow my voice.

Follow my voice, Josh.

Follow my voice.

There's something in there! In there!

Elise!

Steven, Lorraine, go check on Dalton.

-What?

-Go check on Dalton.

-What?

-Go check on Dalton now!

They're crossing over into our world.

-Elise!

-Tucker!

No, you have to shine the light on Josh.

Come on!

Let's go around back.

Shine the light on Josh! On Josh!

Tucker, on Josh!

-You've got to call him back!

-Josh!

Josh! Josh! Come back to us, Josh, please!

Josh! Josh! Come back, please!

Come on, Dad!

Come on, he's right behind us!

-We have to go!

-I'm right behind you! Go!

You.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

I'm not scared of you.

I'm not scared of you anymore.

You can get away from me.

Get the hell away from me!

Get away from me!

Get away from me!

Leave me alone!

Please, please, please!

Come back to us! Follow my voice!

Follow my voice! Please, honey!

Josh, come back! Come back to us!

Get the hell away from me!

Please, Josh, please,

come back to us, please!

Follow my voice! Follow my voice! Please!

Josh, please! Come back, please!

Leave me alone!

I've got Dalton. He's awake!

Oh, my boy!

He's okay! He's okay!

We did it, buddy.

You're back. You're back.

Dude, I got some amazing shots.

You're gonna write a book,

and my photos

are gonna be the main selling point.

Not the main selling point,

but they'll definitely be important.

They will be important.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

Yeah, but words

are worth a thousand words, too.

You're really hungry, aren't you?
