Who were you?

Please, I wanna help you.

Who are you?

Jessabelle.

What do you want from me?

Hello? Hello?

It's Sheriff Pruitt.

Your boyfriend's come to.

He seems all right.

I thought you'd wanna know.

- Oh, he's all right?

- The paramedics said he should rest.

He won't even go to the

hospital for an exam.

He wants me to take him back out to the

house to protect you from something.

- That you know what that is.

- Sheriff? Sheriff, I can barely hear you.

Miss Laurent, we also just got the

results back from the DNA test.

That deceased baby girl

that you dug up was black.

What did you say? She was black?

I don't understand. Does that

mean she was my half-sister?

They crossed your DNA with

your father's, with Leon's...

What?

That's you crying.

You're crying 'cause you're scared.

You don't know where you are.

You don't know who you are.

You don't know sh*t!

I'm gonna tell you who you are.

Because that's what good mothers do.

Jessabelle, you're dead.

Your father's dead.

Moses.

Hush-a-bye

Don't you cry

Go to sleepy, little baby

When you wake

You shall have...

All the pretty little horses

No, it's all gonna be

all right, isn't it?

I need you, sugar.

I need you. Good girl.

You're gonna come back.

I'm gonna hold the door open for you.

Jessabelle, you're gonna

get what's coming to you!

The unwanted presence in the house.

- When you see it, it's broken, right?

- It wasn't the ghost. It was me.

You were telling someone

else's fortune, weren't you?

You know what it says here? It says

that you've never left St. Francis

and that you're never gonna leave.

Your real daughter, not me.

You gave your life for Jessabelle.

Didn't do chemo.

But when the baby was born,

it wasn't Dad's.

No, no!

He killed her, didn't he?

Moses taught me how to read cards.

Look at those.

Don't tell Dad. He'd kill me.

So Leon adopted a baby girl...

to cover the crime?

A white girl, me.

Your church...

Moses' church.

Get out.

They gave her the grave.

What do you want from me?

What can I do?

Moses.

- What are you doing?

- Payback.

What?

What?

No! No. It's not my fault!

Somebody!

Help!

No!

What do you want from me?

All Jessabelle wants is

what's coming to her.

Somebody!

No! No!

Let me go!

What is... No, no, no!

No!

Please, stop.

Where are you taking me?

No, God! Please.

Please!

Jessie!

Please! Let me go!

No! God! Stop it!

Oh, my God! Hold on. Hold on.

You all right?

I thought I lost you.

Take me home, my love.

Miss Laurent? Are you all right?

Miss Laurent!

It's Jessabelle.
