No! No!
- Mal! - Wait! Wait!
No!
- No! No! - Leave it. Leave it!
- Come on! - Wait! Wait!
Listen, we have to go now!
- Danny. - Now!
Oh, no!
Don't!
Leave this behind.
No! No!
We can beat them.
Listen to me.
Listen! Shh.
Look at me.
Hey...
I'm not gonna lose You, too.
Okay?
We have to turn around. We have to go back.
- No. - Frank, we have to go back.
We can't leave him.
Whatever's back there's not him.
It's not Danny.
- He's our son. - Our son is gone!
Mal!
Can I help You?
- Are You Mallory? - Yeah.
We're the coopers.
You rent from us.
Oh, my god. I'm sorry.
- Hi. - Hi. I'm Sam.
- This is Beth. - Hi.
And this is our famous Cooper welcome basket.
Oh, thank You.
We just wanted to stop by and make sure everything's okay.
Yeah, no, everything is great.
I love the... the furniture and the decorations.
Thank You. I did it myself.
I can tell.
Here's our address and our number,
we're just up the road, and so if You need anything
just give a holler.
Okay, well, I should...
Yeah, You're totally gonna catch a cold, so...
Please.
Nathan, let's go, buddy.
Sorry, He's a roamer.
Does this all the time.
It's more annoying than anything.
Nathan!
Hey.
Hi, Nathan.
Don't worry. He's shy around girls.
Yeah, Danny was, too.
Was?
He, um, He passed away about a year ago.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's okay. I'm fine now.
Well, we should probably get going.
- Yeah. - Yeah, if You need any other supplies,
You know, t.P. Or batteries, they're in the other cabin.
There's lots of random stuff in there.
Got it.
- Okay. - Bye.
- Come on, baby. - Bye.
You need a glass of water?
Are You gonna wring me a fresh glass from your shirt?
Sure.
Thanks.
Who was at the door?
If You came outside once in a while You'd know, wouldn't You?
I see trees.
I see the lake.
I see the leaves.
I'd say I'm outside.
Frank, this is not outside.
It was the coopers.
They were just coming to check on us.
Who?
This is their place.
We rent from them.
They're kicking us out already?
- No. -Two days some place would have been a new record.
We're not moving again.
I have a good feeling.
Let me in.
I'm here. I'm here.
There we go.
You ever think about leaving?
Again? We just got here.
I mean, me, Mal.
What is wrong with You today?
I know You feel guilty.
I do.
And I blamed You, but what's done is done
and You can't do anything about it.
You got my permission if You wanna leave
and never come back.
Find a new life.
A new man.
You're crazy, okay?
Am I?
Yes.
If You were in that chair, and I were You,
I couldn't do it.
I'd leave.
Why are You doing this?
- It hurts. - I know.
It hurts to look at You.
So You're just... You're just giving up on us?
You've got a lot of balls, frank.
You're just gonna lie in here and make decisions
about my future, without asking me?
I can't take it back, but I can make it right.
Because You feel guilty.
- Not because You want to. - No, I'm doing what's right
because I love You.
Keep telling yourself that.
Maybe one day You'll believe it.
First I'm gonna chance,
another month here.
Another month there.
And You can't let these deadbeats
talk You into anything.
Remember, they all left. You don't owe them.
I'm... I'm sorry, Lucy. I'm gonna have to let You go.
It's not You, it's me.
Frank? Is that You?
Thirsty?
Frank...
Dance with me.
Excuse me.
- Hi. - Sorry.
We hate to bug You, but we were wondering if maybe You've seen Nathan.
No, I haven't, I'm sorry.
Sometimes He plays by the water
when no one's around, but You guys are here
so, it was a long shot.
Have You checked the small cabin?
Yeah, He's not there.
Well, we're just gonna check around
and then get out of your hair.
Go right ahead. It's your place.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
What are You doing?
You're looking a little bit pale.
So?
So, we're gonna go for a walk.
No, we're not.
Yes, we are.
No.
I'm not.
Can we go back now?
No, we can't go back now.
How far are we going?
Until my arms get tired.
Besides, I thought You liked the view.
I did from the cabin.
- Frank. - Yeah?
I think it's time to go back now.
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
It's the Cooper boy.
Sweetheart!
He's not breathing.
Come on, Nathan, wake up.
Come on. Oh, god.
Come on. Come on, baby.
Come on.
- Mal. - Come on.
It's too late.
It's too late, Mal.
We have to pack.
And do what?
Leave.
How many times do we keep doing this, frank?
As long as we have to.
We need to tell someone.
No.
Once was enough. No more cops.
I'll say that I found him by myself, that You weren't with me.
They'll look into what happened with us.
- With Danny. -It wasn't your fault, frank.
They don't care about the truth.
They just want someone to blame.
If somebody finds this kid
You know they're gonna pin it on me.
No one's gonna find him.
Mal, what are You doing?
Guess how many places we've been to, frank?
Five. This is five.
I'm not gonna let it become 10, 20, 100.
It's done.
We're not moving again.
At least we're alive.
This isn't a life anymore, okay?
Nobody knows about this until we figure it out.
- All right? - How?
I will think of something.
Let's go.
Stop!
We don't even know what we're dealing with.
Then help me, frank.
Help me find out what this is.
The answer's right there.
We don't even know the question.
I'm so sorry.
Haunts me no more
with Eleanor Perez.
- Tonight's episode that goes... - what are You watching?
Snowman.
Mallory Mcdowell?
Yeah.
- Officer Blodget. - Hi.
I wish I was here under better circumstances.
I'm actually looking for a missing boy.
His name is Nathan.
Have You seen him?
- No, I haven't... - He's the Cooper's boy.
- You rent from them. - Oh, right, yeah.
Um, yeah, He was here a few days ago,
um, but He was with them.
But not since then?
Truth be told, they need to keep a shorter leash on this kid anyway.
I'm sure He'll turn up.
And if You do see Nathan, please give me a call.
- Okay, thank You. - Thank You.
What do You want from me?
Haven't You done enough?
You took my husband, You took my son,
You took my entire life!
Fuck off! Leave us alone!
I am making it work here and there is nothing
that You can do about that.
Hey.
- Mal? - Yeah?
Fuck!
Oh!
You okay?
Did You lock the door?
I got You. I got You.
What?
I should be in that chair, not You.
Jesus, it's worse this time.
Come here.
Ready for a drive?
So are You gonna tell me where we're going?
Nope. It's a surprise.
We're almost there.
What can I get You, hon?
- Eleanor. - Why?
She's my favorite.
I'm starving.
He was asking about You.
- Okay. -I just thought You should know.
I'm gonna have the veggie omelet.
Hi. What can I get You?
Eleanor.
I'll come back when You're ready.
Hey, Eleanor, can I get some more water?
You were on that ghost hunting show.
Is that a fact or a question?
Were You on that ghost hunting show?
Sorry, wrong girl.
I've seen the show. I know You're her.
Are You going to order something or what?
No.
Actually, we're here because we have a few questions
- we'd like to ask You. - Yo, Eleanor! Water!
Be right back.
- So, this is your surprise. - She was on a show.
It was called, "haunt me no more."
Have You seen it?
Yeah, a few clips last night.
Jesus, frank, those shows aren't real.
How do You know?
I just do. Everyone knows.
- You wanted my help. - I know, but...
Frank, she's an actor.
Give her a chance.
Okay, You ready?
We're here because we have a problem.
Well, I hate to break it to You, but we all have problems.
You're an expert in the paranormal.
Can I have your attention now?
We have the case of a lifetime.
Footsteps when there's no one there.
Lights flickering on and off by themselves.
Things moving on their own.
A door slammed into her.
We deal with it every day, no matter where we go.
No matter what we do.
No matter what house we live in,
it follows us everywhere.
If You still had your show, we'd be on it.
Okay.
I was on that show.
Okay? But reality TV ain't real.
It's all editing, sound effects.
See? She's a fake.
I didn't say I was fake.
I said the show was fake.
Will You help us? We'll pay You.
Are You here to make fun of me?
You are wasting your time.
We're not.
We lost our son from whatever's happening.
Oh, the sympathy play, too.
That's good.
Got that chair for show as well? It's pretty pathetic.
Look, we're telling the truth, okay?
So, if You are who He says You are,
and You can do what He says You can do,
then maybe You can really help us.
Look, You folks seem nice, okay?
I'd love to help...
But actually, I don't believe in that stuff anymore.
That's nice, yeah.
I mean, I don't wanna believe it anymore either, right?
I don't wanna believe that my son is gone.
I don't wanna believe that something evil
took over his soul,
and left nothing but an empty shell.
All of these things happening to us over and over
following us from home to home.
It all started just before my son died.
I will never forget how black his eyes were.
So, Eleanor, if that's your name, it's real...
Because I saw in my own son.
And hey, it's okay if You don't wanna believe it,
'cause I don't wanna believe it either.
God, I swore I was never going back.
Okay...
If I decide to help You,
how do I know that You're telling me the truth?
- Hi. - Come on in.
You sure weren't kidding about that drive.
- Thanks for coming. - Don't say anything.
I need to do readings without any influence.
Hello, 1970.
Hey, shows what You know.
Digital stuff, good and cheap.
You lose a lot.
Things are either, yes, You got it,
or no, You didn't.
This stuff lets me catch the maybe.
You sound like a vinyl record freak.
Are You sure You can help us?
Well, like that show, I don't make promises.
And I need to see what we're dealing with first.
Just don't waste our time, Eleanor,
that's all that I ask.
If there is something here, it won't be here for long.
Did anything happen today?
- No. - Yeah.
What was it?
Footsteps out back.
Is there something You're not telling me?
No.
Mmm!
So, how long have You been doing this?
Oh! I've been eating my whole life.
You know what I mean.
Ghost hunting.
You know, paranormal investigation.
Privately, quite a while.
And professionally I left near the end of season one,
'cause they were more interested in ratings and not truth.
I thought we were gonna do some good, You know?
Did You ever really get to help anybody?
Rarely.
The producers exploited me and made money doing it.
They could care less if I was real or not.
If I could really help, it didn't matter.
So what makes us different? Why come?
I can see things that are hidden.
Objects, events, people.
Sometimes I hear words loud and clear
tipping me off something's happening.
A few years ago my mother was on a cruise,
and I woke up in the middle of the night hearing her voice
say the word, "flood."
And I called her to make sure she was okay, You know,
because she was on a ship in the middle of the ocean.
And everything was fine, but then a few days later
I went to her house to feed her cats.
And a water pipe had burst.
There's no explanation to how or why.
That's a taste of what I can do.
Do You hear that?
So what does your story have to do with us?
I keep hearing one word over and over ever since I met You.
What word?
Run.
How long has He been like that?
Since the car accident about a year ago.
No, I meant, I sense, like, a different energy with him.
Different from You or me.
Good or bad?
It's never that simple.
Has He changed since then?
Wouldn't You?
Sorry.
Do You feel guilty?
What?
That You're alive and your son's dead?
And You can walk and frank can't?
Well, yeah, when You put it that way,
yeah, I guess I do. I feel pretty shitty.
I lost my son.
I nearly lost my husband.
I am... I'm barely holding on to anything that's normal.
I'm scared.
You should be.
But I'm gonna help.
Anyway, You're our first house guest we've had
since this all started.
Well, I'm honored.
The guilt will always be there, You know.
It never goes away.
You just learn to live with it.
I've never told anyone this, but there was one episode
that was never allowed to air.
That was the reason I left.
Here take this.
What's inside here?
I don't know. We haven't looked yet.
What the hell, Mallory?
Sorry.
It happened again.
- At the storage cabin. - Are You okay?
Oh, yeah. Grammar school stuff.
- Right. - Let the show begin.
Our cameras are infrared.
We'll have to wait till dark to test them.
Hit the lights.
Are we gonna see what's been following us?
That's the plan.
So, what now?
Bedtime.
Okay, so, it's usually run of the mill stuff.
Weird noises, flickering lights,
moving furniture.
Creepy, but not dangerous, right?
I mean, define dangerous.
Well, except for the activity following You
when You move from house to house.
I don't think I've ever seen that before.
I'd say all that takes us out of run-of-the-mill status.
Yeah, maybe.
How bad does it have to be?
- You don't wanna know. - Okay.
It just happened so fast.
He, um...
He started bleeding out of his eyes.
And then out of his nose.
And I called for an ambulance, but they took forever.
And then He stopped breathing.
He just collapsed. Fell over.
He made noises I have never heard come from a person before.
And then He died.
They blamed frank,
and they said that He shook him too hard
and that Danny's little heart gave out.
But frank would never ever.
You said before that Danny's eyes went black.
When was that?
When He stood back up.
And attacked me.
Shh.
Just close your eyes. Close your eyes.
Don't move.
Mallory!
- Go! - Mallory!
Mallory! Mallory!
Be careful! You're okay.
What? What?
Oh, my god!
Need any help?
Things would have been so much easier
if You two would have told me everything.
You think what happened last night was bad?
You have no idea what's coming,
and I am not going to stick around and wait for it.
I killed Danny.
Mallory doesn't know.
She went into his room to check on him.
And He attacked her.
She ran out of the room for my help.
And I looked around...
And I strangled him.
Until He stopped breathing.
I did it so that whatever was turning his eyes black
could never do it again.
So that's it.
These things need something
to help them manipulate our world.
Sometimes it's heat,
so You get sudden pockets of cold.
And sometimes it's electricity so You get manifestations
of thunder and lightning,
and...
Sometimes... Sometimes it's emotions.
Strong ones.
Like ours.
What happened to me last night was because of You both.
Your spirit feels guilty.
And You've wound Mallory up so tight she's about to pop.
Powerful stuff from the both of You.
You two are quite the feast.
I need You to stay...
For Mallory.
Hey, where You going?
There's something out there.
- Do You ever come out here? - No.
Well I mean, sometimes, I guess.
Which way do You usually go?
That way.
Fuck off.
Oh!
- Something wrong? - No.
There's some high level activity here.
I'm with Mallory Mcdowell at the clearing
about a mile away from the main cabin
down the left side of the fork.
Say something.
Um, hello.
Is there something You're not telling me?
- No. -I think You forget who You're talking to.
Someone was here.
There was a little boy here the other day.
I didn't know what to do.
I tried to save him, but He was already dead.
And we couldn't tell anybody. I have to protect frank.
Find yourself somebody else to help You.
Do You feel that?
We have to go! We have to go! Come on!
Don't look at it!
Come on! We gotta go!
Come on! Let's go!
Don't stop!
Frank!
Come on! this way!
Oh, my god. I am so, so sorry.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't.
I can't figure it out. I've tried everything.
I need your help.
Please! Please!
- What was that? - I don't know.
Usually they're just residual haunts
like a strong memory played back over and over.
It's usually totally harmless stuff.
Yeah, I'd take one of those any day of the week.
I mean, in my experience they just need closure
or, like, an extra push to move on.
To where?
- To where? - I don't know.
I've never had anything physically manifest
- or harm people. - Okay, all right,
so maybe we can just push them on ourselves, right?
Okay, we could just send them away.
- I... - You don't know.
So now what?
Well, we need to go find my work order.
And we need to look for that boy.
I was afraid You were gonna say that.
Look, I really think that we need
to just take a minute to dry off here.
Okay?
The lake.
What about it?
When we were running towards the lake,
I kept hearing the word "water."
You mean like one of your feelings?
The lake disrupted whatever was following us.
If I could...
If I can just figure it out.
I'm with Melany Mcdowell at the clearing
about a mile away from the main cabin
down the left side of the fork.
Say something.
Um, hello.
Mommy.
Mallory, is that your son's?
Yeah.
Do You have any of his other things here?
- No. - Just this?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Hold it up.
His spirit might be attracted to the thing You save.
- Really? -No, that's not necessarily a good thing.
It's possible that Danny needs help moving on,
and his spirit is reaching out.
But, I mean, Danny would never hurt us.
No, no, it's not intentional.
He's lost. He's confused. And sometimes they lash out.
Just like people.
I mean He did have some tantrums.
Exactly. So we're gonna have a small ceremony
to help your son cross over.
We're gonna burn this in a cleansing fire,
- and then we scatter the ashes. - No.
Once there's a connection to the other world,
it's easier to open the door again,
and other things can come through, too.
What do You mean, "other things"?
Burning it, Mallory, is the only way
to help him through and close that door.
- Sorry, I'm leaving. - I need to do this now.
- No, I'm sorry. - Give it to me.
You don't understand what I've been through.
Okay.
What about the missing boy?
Huh? Did You come into contact with him
- before He died? - Um...
Yeah, I mean, He... He was here a few days ago.
Well, why didn't You tell me that?
This is his parents' house. We rent from them.
Well, I didn't know that.
Do You have anything of his here?
Did... maybe He left something behind?
I don't know. I don't think so.
Well, we need to get in touch with his parents right now.
I have their phone number.
They're still not answering.
Hello?
Mr. Cooper?
Mrs. Cooper?
Mr. Cooper?
Mrs. Cooper?
Oh, god!
Oh, my god!
Oh, my!
Oh, my god!
- Ahh! - Shh, shh.
Mallory, Mallory, look at me, look at me.
What?
- Was that the missing boy? - Yes.
Okay, it's okay.
Let's go. Let's go!
Say something.
Um, hello.
Mommy.
And this is the footage that I captured last night.
It's kinda hard to make out,
but there's something right there.
And then there's this.
It's pushing through.
What is?
Something big.
I reviewed my entries noting the time
of all the incidences since I got here.
The intervals are getting shorter,
it's getting closer.
And now with the coopers, whatever it is,
it's spreading out.
At this point, I think we only have a question of hours left.
Before what?
I'd rather not find out.
Guardians, I call upon You now.
We ask that You keep watch over us tonight.
Let all who enter under your guidance
do so in perfect love and perfect trust.
Danny Mcdowell, we seek You.
Your mother and father are here for You.
Please honor us with your presence.
- He's here. - Where?
No, not physically, but He's around.
Can He hear me?
Say something to him.
Sweetheart, it's mommy.
I love You so much,
and I think about You every day,
every minute, and every second.
He hears You.
He's happy.
I can feel his love for You.
You both.
Hey, buddy.
I just wanna say how... I don't know what to say.
Just talk to him.
I hope You're in a better place now.
No more fear and pain.
And all You remember are the happy times,
'cause that's all I try to remember.
I miss You, Danny.
And I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
He understands.
Danny Mcdowell,
we release You from the bonds
that keep You from the light.
Go with love.
He doesn't wanna leave.
Danny, it's okay.
It's okay. Go.
He's afraid.
Sweetheart, don't be afraid.
No, He's not afraid for himself,
He's afraid for You.
He's gone.
- Thank You. - For what?
I'd pretty much given up, as much as I didn't want to.
And helping You has made me realize
that I'm ready to jump back in
and help others. People need me.
I can't hide from that.
Thank You.
You got room for one more?
I think we're gonna need a bigger bed.
Nah.
It's okay.
Okay.
Sending Danny away was a mistake.
He was protecting You from something.
It is dangerous to stay.
No more running.
I'm done.
This ends tonight.
I know it's a lot to ask for.
And I understand if You want to go,
but, Eleanor, please help us.
I can't promise safety for any of us.
- We're not asking You to. - Tell us what to do.
If it's still here, the focus must be on one of You.
So one of us is possessed?
You're not. It likes one of You.
We just gotta figure out which one.
Close your eyes.
I summon forth the inner light
to rid myself the soul of fight.
I summon forth the inner light
to rid myself the soul of fight.
Say it with me.
I summon forth the inner light
to rid myself the soul of fight.
I summon forth the inner light
to rid my...
Eleanor... are You okay?
Help me please.
Help me!
Oh, my lord.
Oh, my god. Are You okay?
I knew it.
Oh, I called it. Oh, that's quick.
Frank, give me your hand.
Frank.
Oh, my god.
Frank.
Oh, my god. Eleanor.
Eleanor, are You okay?
Are You okay?
Frank?
Frank.
Frank?
Frank! Frank! No!
- What's happening? - I don't know.
Frank.
No.
Come back. Come back, please.
Come back. Come back.
Please stop now!
No!
Help me.
Frank?
- Mal. - Frank?
- What's up? - Frank, shh.
- I can't swallow it. - Shh.
What's...
- I need You to do something. - What?
Get rid of it,
while we have it.
How?
No.
- No, I won't. - You have to.
- We need to get You to the water, okay? -Why?
Because whatever it is, it doesn't like the water.
I don't know why. So here, just hold on.
Frank! No, no.
No! No! No! No! Frank!
Frank! Frank!
Just stop! Stop! Stop!
Now, I need You to hold the fuck on.
No! No!
Okay! Okay!
Mal.
Mal, what are You doing?
Don't worry, sweetheart.
You're not gonna feel a thing.
We got You. We got You.
Mal!
- Mal? - I'm right here!
Come here! Come here! Come here!
No, come here! Come here!
What now?
No, no, no, no, no.
You have to let go.
I'm not letting You go. Okay? Okay?
Love You.
I got You. It's okay. No! No!
No!
I got You. Come on.
- Mal. - Come on!
Here... here we go!
It's okay, it's okay.
- I'm not leaving here without You, okay? - I have to see You do it.
- No, no, I can't. -It's the only way I know, so...
I'm not gonna do it.
Frank?
No! No, frank!
No! No..., please.
Please, please. You have to come.
You have to stay with me. You have to stay here.
