(nervous breathing)

(child laughing)

(Grace gasps)

(ghostly moaning)

(Grace screaming)

(dramatic music)

(Grace painfully moaning)

(Grace gasping)

[Grace] Help me.

(suspenseful music)

Help me.

Help, help me.

(dramatic music)

(Grace gurgling)

(blood sloshing)

(ominous music)

Nothing's wrong my ass.

No, it's not just that.

Something just happened.

(Ranae heavily sighing)

What?

I never told you what

happened to my mom.

I know she died just

before you came to college.

[Ranae] Her one year memorial

service was last month.

Cancer, right?

[Ranae] That's

what I tell people.

But it wasn't.

Growing up it was

just Mom, Ray, and me.

She was only 18

when she left home

and moved away with my dad.

Then, he left right

after I was born.

Just one day,

bye.

My mom was like 20 or something,

no education

and a baby.

Her parents are halfway across

the country holding a grudge

and she's completely on her own.

So four years later

Ray comes along,

but his dad was never really

in the picture either.

In and out of school,

in and out of jobs,

in and out of guys,

but she tried, she really did.

She busted her butt and did

everything for Ray and me.

Everything.

What happened?

So, last summer

after I graduate,

my summer job's at

this yogurt place

and my mom's suppose

to pick me up

one night from work,

but she's late.

So, I'm texting her.

Where are you?

Did you forget?

What's going on?

But she's not responding

because she's obviously

driving, right?

But I keep texting her

because I'm being a b*tch

and I'm all pissed off.

She must have gotten worried

that she was getting

all these texts

because a witness said that

she was looking at her phone

when she slammed head-on

into a pickup truck

and died instantly.

Ranae, sweetie.

So, you stand at her

casket and you cry,

and you lie in your

dorm room at night

begging her to forgive you

and your baby brother gets

obsessed with spirits and ghosts

because, hey,

maybe if ghosts are real,

she's not really gone.

But she is gone, just gone.

And you don't know

if she hears you

or if she forgives you

or if she even knows

that she was everything

to Ray and me.

And the last thing I said

to her before she died,

was that she was

a terrible mother.

Sweetie.

(muffled crying)

(Ranae sniffling)

They're going to be home soon.

We should find J and Grace.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let's just get this

night over with.

Okay.

Why don't you look by the bedrooms

and I'll look downstairs.

No, we should stay together.

Honey, your brother said

we didn't have anything

to worry about.

Something's not right.

Okay, let's go together.

(phone ringing)

It's Ray.

[Cali] I'll go

check downstairs.

No, wait for me.

(phone ringing)

Ray.

How are you guys doing?

- (ominous music)

- We're scared.

Did you find out anything more?

[Ray] It's totally fine.

You guys are perfectly safe.

Are you sure, Ray?

There's weird stuff

happening here.

[Ray] I'm 100% sure.

Rose might be messing

with you guys,

but she doesn't pose

any real danger.

[Ranae] (scoffs)

I don't know, Ray.

Did you find out

anything more about her?

[Ray] I found an article

online, but it didn't say much.

How did she die?

[Ray] Accidental drowning.

She drowned?

[Ray] Freak accident.

She was playing with

some friends by a creek

and got tangled up and died.

That doesn't make any sense.

We have to be missing

something here.

[Ray] Why?

Because she's here,

Ray, and she's angry.

I don't believe

she's not dangerous.

Grace?

Jeremy?

Are you guys down here?

If you guys are screwing

around down here,

we need to get going.

(Jeremy laughing)

(Grace moaning)

(door creaking)

Guys, are you in here?

(Grace moaning)

(suspenseful music)

[Ranae] What if it isn't Rose?

[Ray] What?

[Ranae] What if there's

something else in the house

and it isn't Rose?

[Ray] That's impossible,

it has to be Rose.

Why?

We're just assuming

that it's her.

It might be something

completely different.

We don't know.

[Ray] But what else

could it possibly be?

I don't know.

Maybe someone who

lived here before?

Maybe someone who died

building the house?

Maybe just some...

[Ray] You're talking crazy.

I'm not crazy.

Just try and keep calm,

let Miller sleep, and wait

until his parents get home.

It'll all be over soon.

[Ranae] No, Ray!

Whatever is in this

house is dangerous

and if Rose isn't dangerous,

then it's not Rose.

[Ray] Ranae, stop.

No!

There's something here

that we're missing.

There's something

here we're not seeing.

There's something we don't know.

(soft suspenseful music)

Ray?

Why did you say Miller?

[Ray] What?

You said, "Let Miller sleep."

Why did you say Miller?

(ominous music)

I never told you the

baby's name was Miller.

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

(dark dramatic music)

Say hi to your

mom for me, b*tch.

(Grace laughing)

(Jeremy moaning)

Guys, the parents

are coming home soon

so we need to get out of here.

(suspenseful music)

(soft breathing)

(ominous music)

(Jeremy groaning)

(dramatic music)

(Grace moaning)

Guys, quit screwing around.

We need to go.

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

[Ghost] You're all gonna die.

(ominous music)

(Cali gasping)

(bones cracking)

(electricity zapping)

(Cali screaming)

[Ranae] Ray?

[Ray] Ranae, what's wrong?

[Ranae] Ray, is

that really you?

[Ray] What are

you talking about?

Well, what did

you find out, Ray?

[Ray] I found some

articles about Rose.

Did she drown?

[Ray] What?

Yeah, how'd you know that?

The date was wrong, right?

The date was wrong

and the accident was seven

years ago today, wasn't it?

[Ray] No, Ranae,

the date wasn't wrong.

It has to be.

This has to be the

anniversary of her accident.

[Ray] No, Ranae, listen!

It wasn't an accident.

What?

[Ray] There was a nanny.

(ghostly whispering)

And it was never proved,

but the police suspected

that the nanny...

A what?

[Ray] A nanny.

One of those foreign

exchange nannies or whatever.

What are you saying, Ray?

[Ray] There was a nanny

and she killed Rose!

She drowned her in a

crick behind their house.

What?

Why?

[Ray] They don't know.

She wasn't right.

She had a history or

something, I don't know.

It all came out later, but

none of it's very clear.

But you said it

was never proved.

[Ray] No.

Why not?

[Ray] Because she died, Ranae.

- (ghostly whispering)

- What?

[Ray] She hung herself.

When, Ray?

[Ray] That's what

I'm trying to tell you.

It was tomorrow.

What do you mean tomorrow?

[Ray] That's what

I'm trying to tell you.

You have to get out of

that house by midnight,

because the nanny killed herself

seven years ago tomorrow.

[Ranae] Oh, my god.

[Ray] What?

You're in Utah, Ray.

It's already tomorrow, here.
