Hello, Mike.

[Mike breathing heavily]

Oh shit.

What is this?

I'm showing you the path.

Just let her go.

What are you talking about?

[gun bangs]

[Mike panting]

What's wrong, honey?

I just had a really bad nightmare and it felt so real.

What was it about?

Nothing.

Come on.

Come on.

Honey, I...

Forget it, all right, I don't want you to analyze my dreams.

I'm not into that stuff, you know that.

Yeah, I know.

That's my thing.

You don't have to believe in it.

Okay.

Well, if it was just a nightmare

why don't you go back to sleep?

My heart is beating so fast.

Lay down, try to relax, drink some water.

Did you turn the temperature down?

No.

Why's it so cold in here?

I don't know, babe, cuddle up, or something.

You need to go back to sleep.

[ominous music]

Sophie.

What are you doing there?

How long have you been standing there?

Who are you talking to?

Sophie, look.

Where?

Right there, are you blind?

[scoffs] Mike, this is not funny, I am so tired.

Sophie.

What's going on?

Come over here.

Mike, there's nobody there, Sophie is not there.

Sophie, what's up?

What happened?

Sophie just went through the wall.

What?

No, she just walked through the wall.

Is that what you were dreaming about?

No.

[Sophie] Daddy!

She always calls for you.

Do you want to go check on her?

No, you go.

She called for you.

[Sophie] Daddy!

Be right there, honey.

[Sophie] Daddy!

Where are you?

Coming!

You okay, baby?

I woke up and I couldn't move,

all the room was fading to black.

That's not a good feeling, is it?

That's called sleep paralysis.

The dark almost got me.

Remember when we went to the hospital,

that kind doctor said if your blood sugar drops,

then everything can feel like it's fading to black.

Here, one second. Here, look.

[pills clattering in bottle]

Take one.

It'll make you feel better,

Honey, can you come here?

Sophie has a fever again.

Could you bring something to get her fever down?

Yeah, yeah.

Does she need the inhaler?

No, I think her blood sugar's dropped

Sophie, can you hear me?

Sophie?

All right, we have to take her to the hospital, honey.

We have to go now.

What was that in the bedroom?

What are you talking about?

You said you saw Sophie in our room.

I thought I saw her, yeah.

I don't know, maybe I was half asleep.

You know, I haven't had a good night's sleep

in three weeks, honey.

No, Mike, you were awake, your eyes were completely open.

Sophie called out for me.

Maybe it's like when you fall asleep watching the TV

and you're dreaming about everything that happens on it,

I don't know, I don't know.

So you saw her, she disappeared, and then she got sick.

So what, now you're saying it's my fault?

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm saying what if,

what if she's dying and she's trying to say goodbye?

Honey, is this about your dreams and your father?

Just because you dream about someone

doesn't mean they're gonna die, honey, okay?

Sophie's gonna be fine, she's sick, yeah,

but she's gonna be fine.

I promise.

You okay, baby?

I think she's asleep.

[siren blaring]

Sir, you can't park here!

You need to move it.

Sir.

- Sorry. - Sir.

Sorry, sorry.

I need a doctor!

Someone get me a doctor!

Can I get a doctor please?

Can I get a doctor?

- Stop yelling. - What's the problem?

My daughter's very sick,

Well calm down and we'll take care of her.

This is the third time I've been here.

Nobody here seems to know what's going on.

What's going on here?

Oh, Dr. Thomas, thank god.

She's, she lost consciousness and she's got a fever again.

Wasn't she doing well three days ago

when she left the hospital?

Yeah, I mean, she was fine,

but in the middle of the night she woke us up.

So I went into her room

and she's complaining that she's seeing dark again.

And she's got a lack of energy,

and she, you said that she's malnutritioned

and then she's probably not eating enough,

that she has hypoglycemia.

It's weird because we've been feeding her three meals a day.

We're doing everything we can,

we just don't understand what's going on.

You were right to bring her,

these symptoms are signs that we need to check her.

Look, we're here to help.

I'm sure we'll find the problem

so just wait here while I check her, okay?

Thank you.

Okay.

[somber music]

Let me just lift her up.

There, we're gonna pull your shirt up, okay?

Up here, all right, now breathe in deep.

There you go.

Breathe in, breathe out.

There we...

Sophie, where did you get these marks?

What marks?

You have marks on your back.

See?

Wow, what is that?

Sophia, did you get hit with something?

I don't know.

You can trust me, Sophie.

I don't know.

Okay, all right, there you go.

I'll be right back.

I was checking Sophie and I found some marks.

I need to know about this.

What is that?

Who did this, Sophie?

So you've never seen this before?

No, did you fall?

No.

So has she been complaining of back pain

or was she running in the woods or what?

No, she hasn't been complaining.

So when's the last time you guys checked her back?

Well you put her to bed last night.

Yeah, but I didn't see that.

So from that time until now you've been overseeing her?

She woke up in the middle of the night

and then we bought her straight here.

Okay, well let me finish my exam

and then I'll come talk to you.

Sophie, the Doctor's gonna look at you

a little bit more, ok?

Be right back.

[ominous music]

Sophie, if you don't tell me what's happening,

I can't help you.

You can't help me.

Hi, the doctor's finished, can you follow me?

Of course.

Dr. Thomas, is there any news on Sophie?

We're really because concerned as we can't seem to find

the cause of her symptoms.

She keeps telling me the darkness is coming for her.

Her blood sugar levels have dropped,

but tests are showing signs of cachexia,

which is a severe case of malnutrition.

But her body doesn't look cachectic.

We'll keep checking me through the night

and try to run some other procedures

to get a better idea of the problem

and how she got those marks.

Will Sophie be okay?

We'll do everything we can.

Let me just go run some more tests, okay?

[ominous music]

[Sophie whining]

Sophie, Sophie?

Shh, it's okay.

Shh.

Everything's okay.

[thudding]

[suspenseful music]

[beast growling]

[door creaking]

[door creaking]

[beast breathing]

[Doctor] Did you take Sophie's blood test today?

[Nurse] I did, is there a problem?

I have been looking at her clinical history.

She has the same symptoms as Carl Matthews.

He died of cachexia, but it never showed in his body.

You do know that Carl was Sophie's best friend.

I heard that.

What if she was infected by Carl

with some kind of sickness or virus?

Could be possible.

But I want to discard possibilities.

Can you call social services

and make sure she's eating her food?

Of course.

Hi.

How is everyone?

Hi, uh, fine.

Angie's in the bathroom with Sophie.

Does it hurt?

No.

You do know that Sophie's friend Carl Matthews

had the same symptoms as her?

The same symptoms, really?

Same weakness, same fever, same malnutrition, the marks.

The same marks too?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but Carl died.

So what is Dr. Thomas doing differently to save Sophie?

Well, maybe you should ask.

- Hi. - Hi.

Sophie, look at that, it's your food, just in time.

I don't feel good not to eat,

But if you eat you'll feel better.

Okay, my little princess, I've got to go to work, okay?

Now you be a good girl for mommy.

Promise?

Okay, daddy.

You still got some time, don't you?

No, I've gotta change before I go.

Oh, right, that's right.

All right.

Love you.

[door knocking]

Excuse me, Dr. Thomas isn't in his room,

is he gonna be back soon or?

I'm sorry, he's handling a personal matter.

If you'd like, you can speak to him after lunch.

- Okay, all right, thank you. - You're welcome.

[Answering Machine] Please leave a message after the beep.

Dr. Thomas, this is Mike.

Can you give me a call as soon as you get this, please?

[elevator dings]

Hi, Mary.

it's Mike.

Is this an okay time for you to talk?

Hey Mike, yeah.

Of course, how can I help?

And we've been at the hospital all night.

I was just wondering if,

if it's okay if I asked you something.

Oh my God, yes, of course.

What's going on.

It's about Carl.

Do you know the cause of his death.

Um, I'm sorry, Mike, I don't want to talk about that.

I can't talk about that.

- I have to go. - No, no, no, Mary!

Sophie's really sick.

And I'm just wondering

if there's anything that you can tell me

that'll help save Sophie's life, I'd really appreciate it.

[phone beeps]

[Voice] You can't save her?

[Angie] Whatcha drawing?

Just us, you dad are on the bed and the room is cold.

Oh man, it's been so cold in there lately.

I think we need to fix the air conditioner.

- [door knocking] - Hi!

My name's Karen, I'm from social services.

Hi, I'm Angie, can I help you?

Yeah, can we talk?

What's, what's this about?

Oh, we just want to ask some questions

and make sure everything's okay, it's just protocol.

Okay, that's fine.

- Where's your husband? - At work.

Okay, and is he the biological father?

Yes.

Okay, is your child under any pressure or stress?

How much stress can a seven year old really be under?

You would be surprised, is she's sleeping well?

You know, sometimes she wakes up

in the middle of the night because she's had a nightmare

and she calls her dad and,

you know, she usually goes back to sleep after that.

I see.

How frequently is this happening?

They're happening more often lately actually.

How much time do you spend with your daughter?

All that I can.

Yeah.

I actually quit my job to take care of her.

Do you mind if I talk to Sophie?

No.

Do you mind if I talk to her alone?

Um, yeah, no, I, that's fine.

- I appreciate that. - I'll just,

- I'll wait out here. - Okay, thanks.

I'm concerned about you, Mike.

You've been missing a lot of work lately.

I know you've got personal things going on at home

and I'm trying to be understanding,

but this is happening more and more often.

You know, there's always some kind of excuse

and I'm getting a little tired of it.

I'm trying to help you here, Mike.

First, you take a day off because your daughter's sick

and then you take another day off

because you need to attend the funeral of a friend of hers

and then Sophie's sick again

so it's another day off to go see a specialist,

and on and off.

Mike, you've already blown through all your personal time.

You don't have any vacation time left.

You do a good job when you're here,

but none of that matters if you don't show up.

Your wife doesn't work, so why can't she stay home

and take care of the kid while you're here?

Sir, I like to help my-

Look, bottom line is this.

You need to decide if you want to keep this job,

otherwise I'll find somebody to replace you

so you can stay home and take care of the kid.

That's all, get back to work.

Thank you, sir.

Mike, what's up man?

Whoa, bro, what is going on?

You look like shit, man. [chuckles]

Long night.

Did you and Angie have a fight?

Sophie, she's sick again.

So we spent the whole night at the school.

I know you've taken her to a lot of doctors,

is there anything I can do?

No one seems to be able to find out what's wrong with her.

[phone rumbling]

Hang on one second.

Hey honey, how's everything?

Dr. Thomas is concerned about Sophie's nightmares.

What?

Yeah, they think that she's getting sick

every time she goes to bed

because she's not resting very well.

But how is that possible?

She wakes up every night and she calls you

and that's when she starts feeling bad.

So what can we do?

Dr. Thomas is going to prescribe her some medication

and then we're gonna take her home to rest

where she feels safe.

Okay, good.

Do you need me to pick you up?

No, that's okay.

You go on ahead, I'll take her now.

Okay, honey.

I'll see you at home.

I love you.

Love you too.

[Mike sighs]

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Why the long face, you should be happy.

It's just, I haven't been sleeping, man.

Every night I have the same dream, someone's shooting at me.

And I don't know if I'm asleep or if I'm awake.

Can you look into the meaning of the dream?

Really.

My girlfriend, you know, my girlfriend, Hope,

she's into that kind of stuff.

And you believe in all that stuff?

No, I mean, it's worth hearing what she has to say.

She knows a lot.

You're an engineer.

You know that there's an explanation for everything.

Not everything.

[calm music]

[door knocking]

Why are you here?

Sorry to just show up like this

but I really need to talk to you.

I said, I didn't want to talk.

I know that Sophie is really sick

and I think you're the only person that can help.

Help how?

She must have something different.

The doctor said that she has the same symptoms as Carl,

and yet he couldn't save him.

Doctors don't get it,

they don't understand this kind of thing.

We went to countless doctors and nobody helped.

Do you know the cause?

I don't and stop asking, 'cause no one knows.

[Mike sighs]

This is gonna sound crazy, but

my husband believed that Carl's dreams were the key.

I don't know, but he started sleeping in Carl's room

and whatever he was doing made Carl feel better.

What was he doing?

He wouldn't let me see, he kept the door closed.

He said that he would tell me,

but not until he felt it was safe.

Safe?

How?

I don't know, Mike, I don't.

We fought about it, I begged him.

And finally he agreed.

One night he said he would tell me,

but I had to wait until the next morning.

We went to bed and that night he had the heart attack.

He died before he could tell me anything

When he died, Mike, I didn't know how to protect Carl.

The one thing he always said

is that Carl's dreams were related to the sickness.

I tried, I did everything I could,

but three days later Carl was dead.

I'm so sorry.

I meant what I said on the phone.

If there's anything that Angie and I can do, please,

let us know.

Thank you.

You can understand why I didn't want to talk about it.

Yeah.

One last thing, right before you hung up the phone,

you said, you can't save her.

Wait, what did you think I said?

You whispered, you can't save her.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, stay here.

I found these in my husband's nightstand.

I thought maybe Carla done them,

but I knew deep down he hadn't.

Why not?

Carl couldn't write that neatly.

Fuck.

[Angie] All right, Sophie, come on.

It's time to go to bed and get some sleep.

Can't we wait for daddy?

No, baby, he's gonna be late getting home, okay.

And the doctor says you need to get your rest.

Jump in there.

Good girl.

You know you can trust me, right?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

Do you want to tell me anything

about the marks on your back?

I don't know what happened, mommy.

It's okay.

I understand, thank you, baby.

I know you had a really hard day today,

but I want you to know that I'm here with you

and your daddy's here with you

and that everything's gonna be okay.

All right?

Now it's time for you to get some sleep.

I love you, baby.

Goodnight.

Love you too, mommy.

[door creaking]

Mike?

You home?

[ominous music]

Mike?

[door creaking]

[door creaking]

[Angie panting]

[door creaking]

Hi, honey!

- Angie? - Shh!

- Sophie okay, where is she? - She's sleeping.

She's okay, she's just

really tired.

Oh, I thought she'd still be awake.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

She tried to wait up for you,

but I gave her the pills and she just dropped like a rock.

[calm music]

You remember when she was born?

Yeah, of course I do.

I was so nervous after losing our first child

and failing as a father, I didn't know what to do.

But then seeing her little baby in your arms,

I knew I had to do everything I could to be a better person

and to give Sophie everything that she deserves.

When we lost the baby,

I thought you'd leave me.

No, honey, I would never leave you.

Or Sophie.

You're a good godfather.

I love you.

You too.

We should go to bed.

Just a little while longer, honey.

Come on, you need to get some rest too.

There's something I need to take care of before I go to bed,

but I won't be long.

Love you, my little princess.

[keyboard clicking]

Have you ever been shot in your dream?

This is a common theme for people and it oftentimes means

that you're struggling with something

that is difficult to overcome in your life

or you feel threatened by something.

Now, if this is the case

and everything feels like it's going wrong,

I suggest you dig in your heels and gather up your strength

because things are going to get a lot worse

before they get better.

But you've got this.

[keyboard clicking]

So you want to remember your dreams?

Well, guess what?

You can make the conscious decision to do so.

Before you go to sleep,

just relax your mind and body into a nice meditative state.

Don't drink any alcohol or take any meds before you crash

and keep a glass of water by your nightstand.

- [creature growling] - Then-

[ominous music]

[whispers echoing]

Let's go to bed, honey.

Shit.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, you scared me.

Okay, hun.

You coming upstairs?

Yeah, I'm just gonna get a glass of water and I'll,

I'll be right there.

Sorry I scared you.

It's okay, honey.

[crickets chirping]

[Angie shivering]

[door creaking]

[suspenseful music]

[phone beeps]

[suspenseful music]

[doors thudding]

[creature snarling]

[door knocking]

Who's there?

I'll call the police!

[doors knocking]

Who's there?

[door creaks]

[crickets chirping]

[door thuds]

[door thuds]

- [door thuds] - [lock clicks]

[ominous music]

[light switch clicking]

Shit.

[door creaks]

[stairs creaking]

[suspenseful music]

[glass bottle clattering]

[whispers echoing]

[phone beeping]

Shit, shit shit shit shit!

[breaker clicks]

- Good morning, ladies. - Good morning.

So, did you remember your dream last night?

I don't think I dreamt anything last night.

How are you, my little princess?

- Good. - Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

What is that?

What?

You have a hickey on your neck.

- Really? - [Angie chuckles]

I didn't have that last night.

Huh?

Pretty weird.

I only have eyes for you, honey.

- Yeah. Yeah. - You know that.

All right.

Well, I gotta go to work.

Can you be a good girl for mommy?

Mm-hmm.

- Love you. - Love you too.

See ya.

Hey, don't come home with another hickey on your neck.

I'll try not to.

So, now that you feel all better,

what do you want to do today?

Play Guess and Draw.

Guess and Draw?

- Okay, you done with this? - Mm-hmm.

All right, let's go.

Are you ready to be blind?

Yeah.

Okay, what color do you want to use?

How about blue?

Okay, let me get this on ya I'll get you a blue crayon.

Here we go.

Okay, what is it?

Is it a person?

Nope.

[Sophie] Is it a dog?

No.

Can you give me first clue?

Okay.

I'm drawing the tooth.

- A lion! - Nope.

- Is it an animal? - Yes.

Give me the second clue.

Okay.

I'm drawing the long ear.

- A rabbit. - That's right!

- You got it. - Yeah, I'm the best!

You're the best?

I'm the best!

Let's have a contest, I'm the best.

No, I'm the best.

- I'm the best! - I'm the best.

- I'm the best! - I'm the best!

[Angie laughs]

It's your turn.

No, you know I don't like not being able to see.

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

[laughs] I know you will.

Let's play again.

Okay, go ahead and sit down.

Let me put this back on you.

Ready to be blind again?

- Yeah! - Okay.

Here we go.

- [phone rumbling] - Ooh.

Oh, you know what?

I gotta take this phone call, I'll be right back.

[phone beeps]

Hey, what's up, Carol?

Did you get the tickets?

Are you ready to play?

Yeah, let's do it!

[Angie's Voice] Good.

Is it a dog?

[Angie's Voice] No.

Is it an animal?

[Angie's Voice] No.

Gimme the first clue.

[Angie's Voice] It's somebody in the family.

Is it grandpa?

[Angie's Voice] No.

Hey Carol, hang on a second.

[Angie's Voice] No.

It's dad.

[Angie's Voice] Yes.

Yeah, I'm the best!

You drew this?

No, you did.

What happened, mommy?

Who did this, Sophie?

You did.

I did not do this.

You said it was somebody in the family.

Somebody in the family?

It's dad, you said so.

[picture thuds]

Stay right here.

[ominous music]

[Angie gasps]

[Ron] Sup, bro?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

So why are you leaving early?

You know Bob's already mad about you being out of work.

Are you going to lecture me too?

Come on, man, it's not like that.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Yeah, you can start by not telling Bob

that I'm leaving early.

Whoa, seriously, bro, I thought we were friends.

Like what's going on?

There's something happening at my house.

What happened?

I felt something, but I was asleep.

Is about your dreams?

Yeah.

Man, I told you, you gotta look into the meaning.

Talk to Hope.

She knows a lot.

I need to go.

Oh, okay, bro bro bro bro bro,

I'll back you up but, let me know if you need anything.

Will do.

[yelling] Fuck!

[engine revving]

- Hi, honey. - Hey.

What's that?

Security cameras.

Oh, so now you want security cameras?

I heard something at front door last night.

And if someone comes into this house,

I want to know about it.

Why didn't you tell me about that?

I'm telling you now.

Well, there's actually something that I want to tell you.

Can it wait, because I need to get these up.

Before it gets dark.

[suspenseful music]

[glass shattering]

Sophie!

What happened?

Sophie?

Mike?

[Angie sighs]

Someone's...

[tapping]

[creature growling]

- [creature roars] - [Angie screams]

[dramatic music]

Angie?

Angie?

Angie?

Honey?

Whoa, whoa, it's just me.

What happened?

He's here.

Who's here?

It's a thing, I don't, the thing, I saw it.

A thing?

A monster or something, I don't know what it is, it's.

I saw it, it's here.

Where is it?

He was sitting at the dining room table.

[suspenseful music]

There's no one there, honey.

He was right there.

Just calm down, give me the knife.

It's okay, come here.

- Just try and relax, okay? - [Angie sobs]

Come here.

He was there, he was.

- It's okay, baby. - He was real.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Just try and calm down.

[eerie music]

[window creaking]

[paper fluttering]

[Sophie whining]

Daddy! [screams]

- Sophie? - Daddy!

[Sophie screams]

Hold on, Sophie!

Sophie!

Get her out of there!

- Help me! - Come on, baby!

Oh my god!

You okay?

What were you doing out there?

I was getting my drawing.

Baby, you have to be more careful.

You could have gotten hurt.

[doorbell rings]

Who's that?

Okay, you stay safe, all right, stay out of trouble.

I'm gonna go see who's at the front door.

- I'm sorry, mommy. - No, baby, it's okay.

You're okay, and that's all that matters.

All right?

Come here, honey.

You're safe now.

I love you, baby.

Hi, can I help you?

You must be Mike, I'm Karen from social services.

Supposed to meet you.

Can I come inside?

Um, I don't mean to be rude,

but right now is not the best moment.

What's happening?

Mike, are you okay?

Who is it?

Ma'am can I come inside, please?

Sure, I'll be down in just a bit.

Sure.

Can I get you something to drink?

I'm fine.

Can I talk to your daughter?

Sure.

Angie, can you bring Sophie down please?

Hi, Sophie, how are you?

[Mike] It's okay, Sophie.

Can I talk with her alone?

Whatever you have to say you can say in front of us.

It's just protocol.

Mike.

Let's just let them talk, okay, I think it's fine.

I heard that you like to draw.

What do you usually draw?

My family.

Mike, come on.

I was trying to listen to what she was saying,

why are social services in our house?

Shh!

Mike, they just want to make sure that Sophie's okay.

Are you sleeping well?

Yeah, last night was good.

What about the other nights?

You don't want to know about those?

Of course I do, why not?

Because then you'll start dreaming.

Oh really?

What makes you think that.

My friend Carl was dreaming,

and then he told me about his dreams

and then I started dreaming.

Oh, so it's his fault.

Are you friends?

He was my best friend.

But you're not friends anymore?

No, he died a month ago.

Oh God.

I'm sorry.

That's okay, my dad told me

that he's in a better place now.

How did he die?

He was getting sick like me

until one day the darkness got him.

The dark?

The darkness of his dreams.

Okay, can you tell me about your dream, step-by-step?

- Do you really want to know? - Yes.

Okay.

I'm always in my room.

I feel somebody is there with me.

It's hard to know who it is because I can never move.

I'm scared that I can never move, so I try calling my dad,

but I can't speak.

The guy gets closer and closer to me

and when he's next to me, the room starts to destroy!

And when the guy's about to get me

my dad's there and wakes me up.

Is your father the person next to you in your dream.

No.

How is he always there when you wake up?

My soul calls him.

Is that what he tells you?

No.

Do you wear pajamas when you go to sleep?

I have gray pajamas that my mom got me.

Does your dad ever mess with your pajamas

when you're sleeping?

No.

Let's go back to the beginnings.

So you always call your dad?

Yes.

My soul calls him.

How can your father see your soul?

Because he loves me.

Yeah, but obviously someone thinks

that we're trying to hurt her.

I don't think that they think that necessarily,

but listen, if they do think that

they can take her away from us, do you realize that?

I love Sophie, okay.

And I'll do anything in my power

to make sure that she's safe.

You know that.

Of course, and so do I,

and they're going to see that, we just have to-

[suspenseful music]

Sophie!

- Sophie, are you okay? - What happened?

We were just talking.

I saw something and I thought Sophie was in trouble.

She was just drawing, look.

You drew this?

[suspenseful music]

I didn't do that.

I think you have to leave.

We are just figuring this out.

No, we've figured this out.

What do you mean?

Sophie's not good at reading or writing yet.

Well then who did it?

I don't know, but I'm doing you a favor.

I need you to leave now.

Please let me help you.

You can't help us.

Okay?

Angie, can you go upstairs

and wash that stuff off of the wall, please?

Sophie, come on, let's go to the backyard and play some,

play some baseball.

- Let me help you. - He's fine.

He is, okay?

If you're in any trouble, here's my card.

We're okay, really.

Let me show you how to do it.

Oh, you're gonna teach me, are you?

[Mike chuckles]

You want to show mommy how good you are?

Yeah.

Look mom, it's a fast ball.

Whoa!

You got a good arm.

Oh, wow.

Okay, I'm not gonna be able to get that one.

[door creaking]

Mike?

Sophie?

[door creaking]

[ominous music]

[door thuds]

[Angie gasping]

- Dammit! - What?

Why did, why did you do that?

Do what?

Don't scare me like that.

I wasn't trying to.

Mike, you slammed the door.

Don't mess around, it's not funny.

I was playing outside with Sophie.

I'm gonna take a bath.

Okay.

You okay?

Uh, maybe I'm just tired.

Yeah, we're both a little stressed.

Do you think it's this house?

This house, we've lived here for seven years.

Nothing like this has ever happened.

Well I don't know, Mike, but what I saw was real.

And you know I'm not crazy.

Eh, you know, you're a little crazy.

Just for me.

Okay, not funny.

Listen, honey, let's not make these little things

into something weird.

Okay, I mean, air coming through the window,

the door slamming, curtains moving, that's normal.

I know what I saw.

Okay, honey, listen, we're gonna solve the situation.

All right, if something is happening in this house

we're gonna find out what it is.

We're gonna be okay.

Mike, just go check on Sophie, please.

I gotta clean this wall.

Okay.

Oh no, the husband's turning into a zombie!

Everybody run!

[door knocking]

Are you done?

Not yet!

I still have people to marry!

Well, how much longer do you need?

Five more minutes.

Are your fingers lookin' like an old lady's?

Not yet!

Okay, five more minutes.

Okay.

[birds chirping]

This is a victory for glory!

[suspenseful music]

Let's see who's the fastest.

[water splashing]

[suspenseful music]

Sophie?

Sophie, you finished?

Sophie?

Sophie, are you okay?

Oh my god, Sophie, Sophie!

Come here, baby, come here.

It's okay, I got ya!

Sophie, can you hear me?

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie!

Oh my God.

One, two, three.

Sophie, can you hear me?

Sophie!

One, two, three.

[Sophie coughing]

oh okay, okay, you're okay.

Thank god, you're okay.

Oh baby, I thought I'd lost you.

I couldn't get out of the water.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay, you're here.

[soft music]

Thank god.

You're gonna be okay, I love you so much, princess.

Love you too, daddy.

It's okay, honey.

[ominous music]

Hello, Mike.

Oh shit.

What is this?

Dad?

What are you doing?

Showing you the path.

Just let her go.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Sophie.

You've got to let her go.

You can't save her.

Why are you telling me this?

This is your granddaughter.

You can't save her.

Sophie.

[gun bangs]

[tapping]

[creature grumbling]

[suspenseful music]

Sophie!

[energy humming]

Get away from her!

- [blow thuds] - [Mike grunts]

[creature grumbling]

Sophie!

[Mike grunts]

[Mike groaning]

This is not real.

This is not real.

Mike, Mike, Mike!

[Mike panting]

Are you okay, honey?

What?

You were having a bad dream and I woke you up.

Sophie!

Sophie?

Oh, Sophie!

Come here, baby, you okay?

You okay?

Daddy's here.

What just happened?

Daddy saved me.

He saved you, how did he save you?

Daddy was asleep.

He saved me from the darkness.

We'll have to figure out if this is happening

just at nighttime.

So I was thinking maybe we don't go to bed,

we stay up til the sun rises,

we can go to bed during the daytime.

Are you crazy, work during the day.

Besides, what makes you think it's only happening at night?

But that's why we took Sophie to the hospital, right?

This is when it's happening,

it's happening in the middle of the night.

Yes, but it's not only at night.

I mean, you know, we've seen things during the day.

Okay, so I'll check the security camera footage again.

Maybe I missed something.

[doorbell rings]

- Who's that? - It's Ron.

Why is Ron here?

I told him about my dreams

and he said his girlfriend knows

a lot about that kind of stuff.

I didn't think he was gonna be here this early.

I just thought we could handle this privately.

Angie, we need to get to the bottom of this.

You know what, I'm just gonna take Sophie upstairs

because I don't want her to hear you guys

talking about this stuff,

it's gonna stress her out even more.

Come on, Sophie, let's go upstairs.

We'll eat dinner later, okay?

Well, I keep having this dream

where my father shoots me in the face

and he's saying, you can't save your daughter.

And then when he shoots me,

I jump and then I come out of my buddy.

Your father?

Yeah, my father.

I mean, he's, he's dead now.

He died in a car accident,

but sometimes I think he's trying to protect me from,

from upstairs, you know?

I'm sorry, I, I don't think that's your father.

I think your mind is producing images

to create the shock necessary

to allow you to astral project.

Astral project?

Yeah, you said you get out of your body,

kind of like a ghost?

Yeah.

Wait wait, what, you do what?

Astral projection or astral travel,

it's when your soul leaves your body

and you can see things that you don't see in a normal state.

It's usually your subconscious trying to tell you something.

Subconscious?

My mind knows something that I don't know?

Every time you sleep you have the ability

to astral project, only you might not be aware of it.

And you can see and experience things

and retain that in your subconscious

that you might not remember when you wake up,

does that make sense?

So can I just go there anytime I want?

With the right focus, yeah.

So you say you get out of your body, then what happens?

Then I see this thing, attacking Sophie.

Listen, Mike, um, if there's an entity around,

then it's not a good idea to be doing this.

Yeah, but I need to go there again.

Did you not just hear me?

It's, it's dangerous.

Okay, the astral plane is this entity's territory

and we don't know how strong it is.

I don't care how strong it is, I have to go there.

You should care,

because apparently this thing has got its eye on your kid.

[somber music]

Sorry.

I'll do whatever it takes to protect my little girl.

What did it, this thing, what did it look like?

I can't believe I'm saying this.

It looks more like a demon.

Okay.

When demons are classified by their domain

they're given specific attributes,

according to different activities that they do,

the way they interact with people, manipulate them.

cause sicknesses, maladies, addictions, et cetera.

Now each domain is according to-

This one, that's him right there.

You're sure?

Yeah, definitely.

Okay.

So we really are dealing with a demon.

Oh my God, man.

- It's time for us to leave. - Ron.

Sit down, sit down.

- It's a demon. - Yeah.

And you asked me to help your friend, so let me help him.

This demon specifically feeds off the energy of people

and he will consume that energy until they're dead.

Do you think he's here now?

No.

No, I don't think so.

The light of the sun symbolizes the light of God

and that weakens a demon.

Most of their activity doesn't happen

until they're strongest, generally at nighttime,

between the hours of three and 4:00 AM.

He will attack you in your sleep,

that's generally his go-to,

but he's gotten so strong that now he can

siphon your energy while you're awake.

He likes to play with his victims.

He's a hunter.

But why is he hunting Sophie?

Why can't he, why can't he go after me?

Because as a child, she has the most pure energy,

the most enticing, but he'll come after you eventually.

Is there anything I can do to stop it?

So the last time this demon possessed somebody,

it was a young man named Hector.

And he went on a massive killing spree.

Eventually the authorities caught him

and sentenced him to die.

But before he was executed,

a shaman was able to pull the demon from the body

and place a spell on the demon

that it could no longer possess anybody without permission.

That way no innocent person would ever suffer Hector's fate.

This demon has been getting stronger over the years,

consuming energy, continually toying with,

with its victims and torturing them

as they've watched the people they love suffer,

and he is going to continue doing this

until he gets a body again.

But how can we stop him?

The only permanent way is through an exorcism,

but to do that, we have to get him back in a body.

As long as he's in the astral plane,

unfortunately there's nothing we can do.

So I can't do anything to him.

I'm sorry.

So we have him in a body, and then what can we do?

Then we call a priest

and we send this asshole out of this world.

Yeah, but you said before that

you got to shaman to try and do an exorcism,

but it didn't work, he just kept on killing anyway.

The shaman removed him from the body,

an exorcism would remove him from the realm entirely.

So, so, so, so what if we,

he has a body, we call the police we get him to the jail.

Forever.

Babe, that's a brilliant idea.

Why don't you sacrifice yourself to be the body?

No, they'll, they'll just shoot me.

But.

Yeah, nobody wants to be possessed by a demon, okay.

It's not that simple.

We gonna help?

So we don't have him in a body so what can we do?

I know a spell,

that can protect us is, especially Sophie,

and keep the demon at bay until we can get a priest

and figure out the next step.

Us, what do you mean by us?

I thought you meant them.

Babe, the fact that we're here and we know about the demon

makes us a threat to it.

We have to assume that it's already been listening

and that it's not gonna leave us alone.

What if I just go home.

He'll just follow you.

Sorry, man.

You're not, but it's okay.

Okay, listen, if we're gonna do the spell

we need to do it now.

Ooh, now?

Yeah, we don't know when this demon will be back,

if it's not already here.

What if, what this doesn't work?

Well, we better hope that it does.

You know, why I always end up with the creepy girl?

This is Angie and Sophie.

So where do you think is best to do the spell?

Um, this room will be great actually, we can do it here.

What, what spell?

What are you doing?

It's for your protection.

Mike, you used to make fun of this type of stuff.

How is it possible that you believe it now?

Yeah, but now I'm starting to believe, look,

this is the book that Hope brought.

This is it right, this is what you saw?

Oh my god, yeah.

That it.

See, it's a demon.

I'm starting to believe and I'm willing to try anything

as long as it helps Sophie.

No.

Mike, keep Sophie out of it.

Sophie's in the middle of this.

This thing is after Sophie.

Angie, please, I'm just trying to help.

[soft music]

Are we really doing this?

We don't have any other option.

Please, I need you with me on this.

For better or worse, right?

Let's do this.

So, what do we need?

So, we're all good?

Okay, I'm gonna need either a lot of salt or a long rope,

either will do.

Be right back, okay.

[suspenseful music]

It's here.

It's always cold when he's here.

[phone beeping]

It's in the house.

[suspenseful music]

Man, the ball came through the circle.

That means he can come through the circle!

The spell is just to keep out demons, okay, not baseballs.

Can you feel that it's here?

[demon screeching]

Shh.

It's in the room.

- It's in the room? - Shh.

I'll take care of you, okay.

[Sophie screams]

The edge, get her into the center!

- [suspenseful music] - [family groaning]

- Ron! - Go.

- Get away from- - [blow thuds]

[energy humming]

Okay, come on, come on.

Go right here, sit down.

Mommy, my inhaler.

It's okay, baby, we can't go up there,

we can't go up there right now.

Just very easy, listen, inhale, exhale.

Inhale, exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Okay, that's better.

You're doing so good, that's much better.

[keyboard clicking]

[suspenseful music]

Come on!

Okay, you stay there.

Sophie, what's wrong?

Mommy, he's here.

[ominous music]

It's just your daddy's robe.

Baby, it's all right.

Mommy, he's here.

Sophie, it's just your-

[demon roaring]

[Sophie and Angie screaming]

Hey, hey, where's the salt?

Run!

Come on.

[blender whirring]

[Hope gasps]

[suspenseful music]

Oh my god.

Mike?

Mike!

Oh my god, Mike, are you okay?

Mike?

Mike, wake up.

Mike, Mike, are you okay?

Is he dead?

Oh my gosh, oh no no no, Mike, Mike!

Mike, Mike, you can't.

- Wake up! - Daddy, wake up!

Mike!

Oh my god.

Ow.

Don't you ever do that to me again.

What's happening?

Oh no, no no no no.

He's dead.

You sure?

He doesn't have a pulse.

Should I, should I call the police?

I don't even know what to say to them.

Where's Hope?

I don't know, she was in the kitchen.

I don't think she knows.

Why is it so dark in here?

All the lights went out and all I got is this flashlight.

I need to check the breakers.

Are you crazy, I'm not going down there.

We need to go down into the basement,

we need to turn these lights on.

Why?

Because I want to attract him to me.

Mike, you have lost your mind.

[door clicking]

[door creaks]

[suspenseful music]

[demon growling]

Mike!

Mike!

Mommy, no!

Baby, I gotta help him, I gotta help your dad.

Mommy!

I'm scared!

Listen, me too, but daddy would never ever leave us, okay.

So we can't leave him.

Okay, I want you to be brave.

Come on.

Stay close.

[suspenseful music]

Come on, it's okay.

Mike, oh my god.

Mike!

Did you break something?

[groans] I feel like I've broken everything.

Get a chair and tie me up, please.

You need to go to the hospital.

Angie, just do it now! [groans]

Sophie, go over there and give me that chair, okay?

It's dark.

Baby, I'm gonna keep the light on it

the whole time for you, okay?

I want you to go over there.

Go ahead.

[Mike groaning]

Come on, honey.

Bring it back, there you go.

Okay, set it down, set it down, good job.

Get me on the chair.

[Mike groaning and coughing]

Now tie me up!

Okay, you stay here with your dad, okay?

Stay with your dad.

[suspenseful music]

Sophie!

Sophie!

[blow thuds]

[screams] Daddy!

You leave her alone!

You wanna possess someone, you possess me!

No!

I dare ya!

[demon growling]

Tie me up, come on.

[Mike groaning]

[Mike shouting]

[Angie gasps]

Come on!

[Mike groaning]

[suspenseful music]

Come on, come on.

Come on, I need you to stay in here, okay, baby?

Stay in there.

[suspenseful music]

No, don't leave me.

I'll be right back, okay.

Listen, I just need you to be safe, okay.

I'll be safer with you.

Listen, Sophie, listen to me.

You are a very brave girl, okay?

I just need you to be quiet

and wait for me to get back, okay?

- Okay. - Okay, great.

Okay?

[suspenseful music]

[phone beeping]

[911 Operator] 911 emergency.

My husband's gone crazy and I need you to help me, please.

[suspenseful music]

9722 Windy Hill Road.

Yes.

[phone beeping]

Hello?

[suspenseful music]

- 32-04 to dispatch. - Go ahead, 32-04.

We're 10-97 at 9722 Windy Hill residence.

[Dispatch] Copy that.

All the lights are out.

It's the only house without power.

Well, someone made the call.

Let's go check it out.

Yep, let's go check it out.

Angie.

Sophie.

[suspenseful music]

[door knocking]

Police, anybody home?

[suspenseful music]

You see anything?

Nope, they must be on vacation.

Maybe it was just a joke.

I hate when people prank us.

All the lights are off.

32-13, we're 10-19.

Everything at the house looks fine.

[suspenseful music]

[door clicks]

[Sophie and Mike screaming]

[Angie and Mike groaning]

Mike, I know you're in there, Mike!

Mike, I know you're still in there, Mike.

[Mike groaning]

You can beat this, Mike.

Mike's not here.

[suspenseful music]

Angie, Angie, wake up.

Come on, come on, get up, there we go, come on, wake up.

There we go, we gotta get outta here.

Come on, Sophie, let's go, let's go.

Through here.

[suspenseful music]

- Wait! - Police!

- Freeze! - [gun bangs]

- No! - No!

[sirens blaring]

Get down!

You have to kill him, you have to kill him!

You have to kill him, no, stop it, you don't understand!

Did he really kill him?

No matter what anybody says,

you're daddy is not a murderer.

The most important thing

is that he did this because he loves you, okay?

Okay, don't you ever forget that.

[Officer] Calm down, man, just calm down.

32-04, shots fired.

Suspect down, requesting EMS.

- [sirens blaring] - [somber music]

I read in your husband's file

that he was an excellent engineer, brilliant even.

He still is.

Great husband and father too.

But of course he is.

The mind is still a relatively unknown universe,

difficult to decipher.

We believe that his mind is still in there, undamaged,

but it's almost as if there's something wrong with the body.

If we only knew how to separate the mind from the body,

then I think I could say that you'd have your husband back.

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Me too.

Don't worry, doctor.

We'll be all right.
