Hi, my name is Rachel.

I was in an accident down the road and I saw your house and,

thank God you're home.

Can I come in?

Thanks.

Oh, sorry.

I forgot to ask you your name.

Oh, uh, Hannah.

-That's pretty. -Thanks.

Um, so not many people take

that road anymore, especially not in this weather.

Yeah, it's my dad's 50th birthday tomorrow

and I thought I would come a little early to surprise him.

The freeway was all jammed up

and I thought I could cut through it

if I just went over the mountain.

Brilliant, right?

Well, uh, you're welcome to stay here as long as you need.

God knows I could use the company.

Seems like it.

So what are you doing over there?

Oh, um, nothing.

It's none of my business.

No it's, it's fine I'm,

I'm trying to communicate and call upon spirits.

Just, you know, trying to get a better understanding

of life, death, just venturing out into the unknown.

That's cool.

How do you play?

What next?

We could ask three questions.

You go first.

Okay.

Are there any spirits here with us tonight?

Is that a yes?

She's a mother figure.

It's what the card suggests.

Someone you know?

-Ask her something. -Okay.

Um, what did...

my mother want to tell me before she died?

In this card she's surrounded by swords, afraid to move.

She's blind.

She can't see a way forward.

She's hopeless.

Sort of like being trapped by your own circumstances?

Yeah, maybe.

One more.

Make it a good one.

Okay,

Will I see you again?

The dog and the wolf.

Fear and apprehension.

Follow the path to move past them.

Where does it lead?

The unknown.

Maybe that's where you'll find her.

Yeah.

This is fun.

Yeah.

Your turn.

I wanna know,

how will I die?

What?

No, don't ask that.

Holy shit.

It's not meant to be literal.

This person is stuck, so to speak.

In a dire situation.

They don't see a way out.

We could stop.

No, no let's keep going.

I have two more.

Okay.

Hmm, let's see.

So when I die,

will I be alone?

Flip the card.

Okay, what does that mean?

It represents loss.

Something is gone, but some of it still remains.

Spooky.

Yeah.

When did she die?

What?

Your mother.

Oh, um,

when I was very young.

Cancer.

She was my everything.

And I, I couldn't...

I couldn't stand to see her like that.

Let alone be in a room with her.

You know, when you're a kid,

you don't understand permanence.

And then one day she was just...

gone.

Did you get to say goodbye?

No.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

My father.

We haven't been on speaking terms for a while now.

He's been trying, but I've just been

this stubborn little shit.

And I actually thought the storm was some kind

of sign telling me to turn back.

But I'm glad it brought me here.

Me too.

Last card.

Okay.

Do you know what you wanna ask?

No idea.

Okay, um, I wanna know...

When you're dead...

how do you know?

Rachel?

I'm sorry you're back here.

It's probably because we left things unfinished.

You were in an accident.

It was raining.

You lost control somehow and drove off the side of a cliff.

You died.

It was eight weeks before you were found.

Your body was buried but... you've been on this mountain

for 10 years.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Light.

Light.

I know who you are.

I know what you want.

This was your mother's house.

Here, you feel closer to her.

Closer to me.

Where are you?

Close your eyes.

Can you see me?

Everywhere.

Surrounding you.

How does it feel?

Leave her alone, goddammit!

Rachel?

Wait.

I know who you are too.

Everyone knows who I am.

And with each passing moment, I grow closer.

I can see that you're angry.

You have questions.

Sadly, the answer is always the same.

If you must ask, then you know where to go.

Go!

I know who you are too.

I don't have any questions.

I just wanted you to see me so that you know I'm not afraid.

-Hello? -Hannah?

-Ethan? -I'm sorry I didn't know

who else to call.

-What's wrong? -My father, he's dead.

Hello?

Hannah?

Hi.

It's good to see you.

Is it?

Hannah.

Hello, Ruth.

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

Ethan, do you mind if I have a word alone with Hannah?

I won't bite.

Do you know what happened to my husband?

Did Ethan tell you?

Just that he passed.

Self-inflicted.

He put a gun in his mouth.

Blew his fucking brains out.

Didn't leave a note.

No indication that he would do such a thing.

Sometimes there's no explanation.

Are you okay?

I still see him.

What do you mean?

My husband.

His presence.

It lingers.

Along with something else.

I'd like to show you something.

The coroner took him away.

Ethan left.

He wanted me to go to a hotel but... I stayed.

This is my home.

I couldn't sleep so I wandered the house.

And then I found myself in this room.

And that's when I saw him.

Over there in the corner.

He was just standing there.

Mouth agape.

Like he was trying to speak.

Trying to tell me something.

Hannah?

What do you think he was trying to say?

I wouldn't know.

I'd like you to ask him.

I don't think I can help you.

Why not?

You've communicated before, haven't you?

Yeah.

And then my house burned down.

I know.

I heard the rumors of what you were doing up there.

Why else do you think I asked Ethan to call you?

You know what?

I just don't want to get involved.

So you're afraid.

I didn't think you were a coward.

The dead want nothing to do with us.

You're wrong.

You know what? It was a mistake coming here.

We're not done!

Don't ever call me again.

Hannah, wait!

-Can we talk? -I have to go.

Please!

Look, I've missed you.

And I wanted to see you again.

I just, I hope you take care of yourself.

We can't have him here anymore.

He just sits there with the car running all day.

I understand.

I mean, there are kids running around.

I understand.

Fuck!

Dad.

Wake up.

Dad.

Dad, come on.

Dad.

Come on, we have to go.

No!

-No! -Dad!

Let's go. Get up!

-No! -Get up!

Get up!

Come on, Dad. Let's go.

- Oh my God. - Do you need any help?

What do you think?

There you are.

What are you thinking about?

You don't like her.

You never liked her.

When has that ever mattered to you?

But you need her.

We need her.

Talk to me.

I'm tired.

And nothing seems to make any sense anymore.

That's because he wanted to talk to us.

I don't need you to believe me.

I'll talk to her.

Good boy.

I have to get back soon.

I only came here to collect some clothes.

Do you want me to come with you?

No.

I'm used to it.

You can stay if you want.

No, I should probably get going.

Got to meet with dad's lawyers in the morning.

What for?

Nothing was in order.

He left us a fucking mess to clean up

and my mom can't handle it on her own.

I'm sorry she brought you into this.

It's okay.

You know she wants you to do that séance thing?

-I won't. -I know.

But she's not going to let it go.

I'm worried about her.

You know she's just looking for answers, right?

She misses him.

She's not angry.

I know there's something about him she's not telling me.

So you don't know why he did it?

No.

And I don't know what difference it would make.

There's nothing anyone could say

that could make us understand.

Can I ask you something?

Okay.

Three years ago I get a call.

You say you're leaving and I can't see you anymore.

Then I find out some old house your family owns burns

to the ground and I don't know where you are.

Where'd you go?

I left the country.

I thought there was something for me to find.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I just...

needed to do it on my own.

Did you find what you were looking for?

No.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Hey.

Here's some water.

Water.

Where are my clothes?

You pissed yourself.

I have clean clothes in the bathroom for you.

What's wrong with your boat?

What?

They said you've been sleeping in your car during the day.

- Who said? - It doesn't matter.

The A/C is broken.

It's too hot to sleep.

Well, maybe they just um, don't want you to drive off.

From the back seat?

I took 'em all out.

Fuck!

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

This is bullshit.

Where are my fucking keys?

I have your keys.

Hand them over.

I haven't done anything illegal here.

I mean this is all a misunderstanding.

I have a guy coming to fix the A/C

so it'll sort itself out.

Thank you.

Do you want help?

Oh, fuck off.

-Dad. -What?

Just leave me alone, okay?

They should have never fucking called you.

Hannah.

Welcome back.

I'll help you.

You ready?

It'll be okay.

Take my hand.

Okay.

Once we initiate contact, none of us can leave this table.

Not until I say it's ended.

Is that understood?

Yes.

Okay.

I want you to think of a memory.

A good memory.

One that involves him.

And I want you to close your eyes and just hold it.

We're here to speak with Robert.

Your wife and son wish to speak with you tonight.

When you are ready, we ask that you ring the bell

to let us know that you are here.

He's here.

He's here, I knew it.

Robert, is that you?

Who's doing that?

Shh, shh, shh.

He's here, he's here.

Mom, stop.

He's here.

What are you doing?

I knew it.

Why did you leave me, Robert?

Why did you do it?

Why did you leave me?

This is bullshit!

Robert, is there anything that you want

to tell your family?

Stop!

Ethan, talk to your father.

I have nothing to say to him!

Ethan!

What did you do to him?

No, no, no!

Don't touch him.

You make the call.

The time is near.

Snow falls.

You walk to Loma Street Bridge.

Cold.

You see her standing at the other end.

So pretty.

So young.

She's not scared.

I'm going to kill her now.

Ethan!

Ethan.

He's still breathing.

He's going to be okay.

Ruth.

Ruth?

911.

Hi.

I have an emergency.

What are you doing?

It's all over.

I realize now he was trying to warn me about her.

Come downstairs with me.

I can't do that.

When did you know?

You don't understand.

I do.

A girl was murdered and your husband killed her.

Robert, he always strayed.

I allowed it.

It was our secret.

Then one day one of his whores called.

Demanding money to stay quiet.

I told him I would handle it as I always did.

Ruled a suicide.

As easy as that.

It was later I found out she was pregnant.

Things were quiet for a long time.

But our sins never go away.

They come back.

Because they want us to repent.

Listen, your son needs you, okay?

So just come downstairs.

Please?

Hannah?

Did you hear me?

No.

I asked if you knew where you were.

The hospital?

That's right.

I'm Dr. Brenner.

You've been in our care for three weeks now.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

Good.

I need you to listen for a bit. Is that okay?

You came in with massive head trauma.

Your brain was swelling.

We had to keep you in a medically induced coma.

Dad.

What was that?

Can you, my father, he was just here.

Can you go get him?

Oh, no honey, there was a younger man

who came by initially, but I haven't seen him in a while.

I'm sorry.

Additionally you have some broken bones.

Two compressed fractures.

- Hannah Blair? - Yes?

I'm officer Jones.

This is officer Lewis.

May we come inside?

Why? What is this about?

Is your father Tobias Blair?

Hello, Ms. Blair.

My name is Janice Keller and I'm a grief counselor working

for the city.

I first want to extend to you my deepest condolences.

Hannah Blair?

Right this way.

Now the two officers you spoke with informed me

that you had some questions.

Well, I'm here to answer any that you may have.

As well as assist you in any arraignments you need to make.

I have a pamphlet here I'd like you to read.

It may help answer many of those questions.

Can you tell me what the hell happened?

'Cause nobody can seem to tell me.

Well, there's still a lot that we don't know.

Why don't you tell me what you do know.

Okay, I'm really here to help you answer your questions

on what to do next.

You know they say he drowned?

But he could swim.

He taught me how to swim.

He was on boats his entire life.

You wanna explain to me how someone like that drowns?

He was found in the water between his boat and the dock.

Sometimes if it's dark, or...

someone's inebriated, there's just enough of a gap

to fall into.

It just takes one wrong step.

He was in a position where essentially he was stuck.

He couldn't pull himself out.

He got tired.

He couldn't keep his head above water, and he drowned.

It happens more often than you think.

How?

I mean wouldn't somebody have heard him?

We honestly don't know.

The police have interviewed a few people, but not all.

I'd like to see him.

We have some photos for you.

He was in the water for a considerable time.

You might not recognize him.

I never came this close to death before.

I wasn't there when my mom died.

She died alone.

I didn't witness her go.

I've spent my whole adult life trying to face it.

Just hoping to understand, and...

now I realize there's--

there's nothing to understand.

Do you think this is all there is?

I don't know.

I don't think anyone does.

But I do know they still remain with us.

In our memories.

Thanks for coming out.

So why'd you want to meet here?

It's pretty here.

It's been a while.

I wanted to see you...

and... apologize.

I'm sober.

It's just, it's just over 10 months.

Okay.

Anything else?

Look, I know what you're thinking,

but I've never made it this far before.

And I wanted to be sure before I saw you again.

And when was the last time you saw me?

Did you come check on me when I was in the hospital?

I know you knew I was in there because the police told me.

It was a bad time for me.

What about when I was learning to walk again?

Did you check on me?

You know, I haven't needed you in a while,

but it would have been nice to have had my dad, you know?

I'm sorry.

You always say you're sorry but you never change.

You remember I took you down here as a kid?

Watch the boats go by.

Saw what kind of fish people were catching.

You used to play down on those rocks.

I probably shouldn't have let you done that.

Do you remember?

We'd stay to watch the sunset.

I'd point at it, and you'd say,

"Look at the sun going down.

That's where mommy is.

"And every day,

she'll be there waiting for you."

I know you miss her.

But you're not the only one who grieves, okay?

It wasn't easy for me either.

And I know I messed up.

I was a shitty father.

But...

But it's going to be different this time.

I'm done with drinking.

And... I want to see...

I want to see you more.

That's what this is about.

Now we can... we can take our time with it...

I mean, however-- however you want to do it.

Just, you just tell me what, what you want me to do.

I remember.

And that's why, when you called, I came down here today.

To tell you goodbye.

I'm so glad you're getting help, but I can't be a part of it.

But what you can do for me?

Don't call.

Don't show up.

Just stay away.

Stay away.

I still remember my father.

I wanna see him.

I wanna see him, goddammit!

I left the country.

I thought there was something for me to find.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Did you find what you were looking for?

No.

I remember.

I told you.

The answer is always the same.

I just miss her.

And I know he did too.

Stay here with me.

Isn't that what you want?

You're right.

I am angry.

Even afraid.

But I don't want to be anymore.
