in the house, the two females,

they're both you.

You've been having nightmares, right?

And when you see it,

this presence, it's broken, right?

It's a demon, but it's an inner demon.

You were in some sort

of accident or something,

or maybe somebody you know was.

Now, I want you to listen to me.

It wasn't your fault.

Stop blaming yourself, sweetheart.

It wasn't your fault. Okay?

Now that we know that's what

that last reading meant...

I mean, that's what Moses says.

So, we're gonna get you

a new one. All right.

Death. That means transition.

You really don't have to worry about that.

I see a very horrible death.

Dad?

Miss Laurent?

I was knocking, but I know you're

in a wheelchair, so I got in.

Hi. It's just Jessie.

The hospital told you

I was coming, right?

No. Yes. Yes.

You must be Miss Arlenna.

Rosaura. You can call me Rosaura.

- It's great to meet you.

- Let's get started.

Okay. Okay.

You feel good?

I'll be back and check on you, okay?

No, no!

Dad!

Dad! No!

What the hell's going on?

Just calm down. Settle down.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

Where the hell were you?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mr. Laurent.

It was only five minutes.

Get out! Now.

- Get out!

- I'm sorry.

What did you mean by "nothing", Dad?

What's nothing?

- What are you doing?

- It's her goddamn tapes!

She's got you scared out of your mind.

I told her not to do this.

But, Dad, it's Mom.

It's all I have of her!

That thing on these tapes

is not your mother.

Five weeks into her pregnancy,

we found out she had tumors in her brain.

She wouldn't do chemo. Nothing.

Nothing to help herself.

It ate her mind, the cancer.

It just wasn't her anymore.

But, Dad, I want to watch them!

Why? So she can scare the

sh*t out of you some more?

- I'm gonna burn these tapes.

- Dad, no!

No, Dad! Don't, Dad! Dad!

Dad.

Oh, God!

Dad! Dad!

Jessie!

Jessie!

No! Dad! Dad!

Goodbye, Leon. May your soul

finally find peace. Thank you.

Hey, Jessie.

Preston.

How you been?

That was a really stupid question.

I heard you were in town last week.

I would have come over,

but I figured I should call first.

I tried you a few times,

but no one picked up.

I'm sorry. My Dad's phone is upstairs,

and it's gonna be a few more weeks

before I can walk upstairs to answer it.

Right. I'm sorry.

It's really good to see you, Preston.

It's good to see you, too.

I'm really sorry about your dad.

Jessie?

Jessie, you okay?

Hey.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

You stayed here all night?

Yeah, well, I figured I'd stick around,

make sure you're okay.

Thanks. You didn't have to.

Well, I guess I should get going home.

But I'd love to see you again, though.

Be okay if I come by some other time?
