Sh*t.

[gasps]

[sobs]

[dog barks]

Penny:

Okay, okay, okay.

[Vanessa crying]

Shh. Shh. Okay.

This isn't right.

None of this,

this isn't right.

This is--Penny,

I want to go home.

We're--

I want to go home.

We're gonna get

out of here, okay?

No. No,

I know we're not.

Don't lie to me.

Vanessa,

we're gonna be okay,

all right?

You gotta stay strong.

Gotta stay strong, okay?

[footsteps upstairs]

Shh. Shh.

[slam]

Okay. It's okay.

[slam slam]

[footsteps continue]

He's up there.

They all are.

[slam]

[slam]

Anything?

What?

No. No, the doors

are locked solid.

Yeah, it's like

a meat locker

back there.

[slam slam]

Are you seriously

going back up there?

[slam slam]

Well, yes.

We have

to talk to them,

ask for

their forgiveness.

Maybe they'll

let us out

if we plead

for mercy.

Plea for mercy?

What about all that

"power of christ

compels you" stuff?

Shouldn't we able

to force them

to let us go?

They're not like that.

They aren't evil.

[laughs]

They aren't?

They aren't evil?

Ray is dead, okay?!

Giselle is dead.

I know. No,

they're just desperate.

Desperate for what?

You.

But I'm not sure why.

It's okay.

You guys can stay here

if you want.

I'm going up

to find out.

It's cold

up here, too.

Whaley family,

we come as friends.

Where can we speak?

[screaming]

No! No! No!

Penny:
Vanessa!

Vanessa!

[screams]

Oh, god.

[sobbing]

Vanessa,

are you hurt?

What happened?

She grabbed me!

She grabbed me!

What? But there's--

There's nobody

in here.

Guys, look.

Look.

Vanessa:
Oh, god.

[sobbing]

[footsteps]

Oh, god.

What is it?

I see something.

Where?

Thomas?

It's not Thomas.

Keith, what is it?

Back up!

Back up now!

Go back!

Go away! Go back!

[Vanessa sobbing]

[Penny murmuring,

shushing]

Please,

it's okay.

Okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

What was it?

What the hell

did you see, man?

It wasn't--

It wasn't human.

[scoffs]

Not human?

[sobbing]

Like what?

Like a f***ing demon

or something?

Okay,

stay with me, okay?

Okay, I thought you said

they were just ghosts.

[Vanessa crying]

It wasn't a Whaley.

Stay with me, okay?

I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know.

It said its name

was Santiago.

Yankee Jim?

Who's Yankee Jim?

He was hanged

on the property

when it was

a gallows.

He was too tall

for the noose,

so he stood

on his tiptoes

when they dropped him.

Penny:
Shh.

It took him

hours to die.

His real name

was Santiago,

and he's

supposed to be one

of the resident ghosts.

So, what? So he's

not human anymore?

W-what the f***?

He told me he died bad.

He stayed bad.

[screaming]

Stop!

Stay out!

Stay back!

You have no power

over us!

Go away!

Go away!

He's gonna

break the f***ing

door down!

See?

I f***ing told you!

[Vanessa sobbing]

Oh, my god.

[sobbing continues]

Santiago,

is that you?

Oh, my god.

[sobbing ends]

He's gone.

Well, he was sure

as sh*t there

a f***ing

minute ago.

I figure it's

exhausted itself

with the door

and needs to rest.

Why is he an it?

If he was--

If he was human once,

why is he an it?

He died bad...

on the wrong side.

What is that stuff?

Purified and

blessed sea salt

with powdered angelica root.

Helps to protect

against negative energy.

Oh, is that gonna

keep them outside?

It should work.

[rumbling]

Ah, sh*t!

[crickets chirping]

[thunder rumbling]

You ever been

in this place before?

No.

They say it's haunted.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You get a bunch

of prank calls

about this place?

None. This might be

the first one.

[rings doorbell]

[thunder crashes]

Anything?

Place looks like

it's been ransacked.

Any ghosts?

Let's go around back.

Look.

Probable cause.

Go.

SDPD!

SDPD! Who's here?!

Bodies.

Pretty sure they

wouldn't have a pulse

if I checked anyway.

You want to call it in?

I got it.

We are so f***ed

right now.

I--I mean, like--

Shh, shh, shh.

I mean, like f***ed---

Shut up! Shut up.

Listen.

Like really f***ed.

Listen! Listen!

Just...

Officer:
This is

the San Diego

police department!

Is anybody sick

or injured in the house?

Dispatch, this is

Officer Downs. Come back.

Dispatch, do you copy?

What, is it wonky?

Signal's doing something.

Try yours.

Hey! Hey!

Put the gun down.

Put the gun down.

Put your hands up!

I was the one that

called you guys, okay?

All right, come down here.

Keep your hands where

we can see 'em.

There are more of us.

One of us is hurt.

[woman sobbing]

I got it.

Okay, you go.

I got them.

Where is he going?

[crying]

Ma'am.

Ma'am, San Diego police.

Are you all right?

[crying]

Ma'am, are you hurt?

Officer:
Okay,

hold it, you two.

Where's your friends?

Go, go, go, go, go.

Gates!

Gates:
Oh, my god.

Gates, what is it?

[gasping]

[gurgling]

What's he doing?

Hey, cool it

with that stuff, man.

Sh*t. You think

chairs are gonna keep

those f***ers out, man?

This is magic, dude.

This'll work.

Gates:
This is ridiculous.

What the f***?

Dispatch, come back. Over.

Dispatch.

Still not working?

No, it isn't.

Backup'll be here soon,

though, right?

I mean, you guys

can't just fall

off the map, huh?

Yeah, if we don't

check in within

half an hour,

they send

another squad car out.

I hope it's

not too long.

Vanessa isn't

doing very well.

Yeah, but--

But she'll

be okay, right?

No.

No, she's not.

[creaks]

I know you're there.

I know you are.

Who's there?

Come on out.

Wait.

You think we should

leave the room?

I wouldn't do that.

I'll be right back.

She looks like Lisa.

Hey, this salt

stuff'll protect us

in here, right?

Yes, unless there's

something in here already.

[giggles]

I know you're here.

What's your name, child?

What's your name,

sweetheart?

[giggling]

Wait, sweetheart.

What about Keith?

Man, f*** Keith, okay?

He can take it down

when he gets back.

Just--Here.

Help me, please.

[humming, murmuring]

Hey, I think there

might be something

wrong with your friend.

Hey, baby,

are you okay?

[continues humming]

Vanessa.

What is she saying?

Baby.

F*** me!

Sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

F***ing freeze!

This is my house.

My house.

Will die.

Vanessa.

You--

Vanessa, what's--

Vanessa--

Vanessa is asleep.

You're not Vanessa.

You belong to us.

Why are you

doing this?

We want you back.

Back from what?

You ours.

How am I yours?

You missing.

You're missing me?

Baby.

I...

Baby.

Hey, give us

our friend back.

[creaks]

Be careful.

She is not yours.

Ours.

She, too...

Hey.

Ours.

Who are you?

[gasping]

No!

Look out! What is she--

Penny:
No.

Watch out!

Vanessa!

Honey, it's okay.

[sobs]

It's okay. It's okay.

What--

What happened?

You know, I don't--

No. Now they're

f***ing possessing us.

[gasping]

I have had it

with this sh*t, man!

Hey, stay calm.

I'm getting

the f*** out of here!

I'm not gonna wait

for these fucks

to kill us all!

Craig, wait.

I'm gonna break

this f***ing window!

Craig!

No!

[screams]

Craig!

[sobs]

What?

[crickets chirping]
