The Invitation Page #4

Synopsis: Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband... and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will's hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?

religious cult or anything.

You know, it's smart

people like... like us,

here in L.A.,

New York,

thousands of people.

You'd be surprised.

Yeah, my boss is into it.

It's like a new est

or something, right?

Yeah, no...

I think it's a little

more grounded than that,

you know, more practical.

And at the same time,

it's very spiritual,

you know,

however you define that.

Seriously,

what goes on down there?

I mean, is it like a

self-help group thing or...

Well...

Since you asked,

we have something that

we'd like to show you.

- David.

- Oh, no.

- Oh, no.

- Yes, yes.

No, no.

- Perfect. Just perfect.

- Oh, no. Now I understand

- why the doors are locked.

- My bad.

You're gonna convert us.

This is a conversion

thing, right?

Oh, my god. No, this

is the real reason?

I know it sounds a little weird,

but it's actually...

It's pretty amazing stuff.

Indulge us, okay.

Is this some kind

of a recruitment video?

I really don't want to...

I do. Convert me.

I am weak.

Yeah, you are.

It's nothing like that.

Promise.

All right, let's do this.

This is our home

in Sonora, Mexico,

and it is your home, too,

if you choose it to be.

Our home and our family

is open to anyone

with the desire

to help themselves.

The human brain has

a remarkable ability to heal.

My life's work

has been to discover

new ways to rewire, to rewrite

our experiences with trauma.

I mean, trauma has visited...

All of us.

We invite you

to a conscious existence,

to a connected existence.

But we take this journey,

all journeys side by side.

You are not alone.

Wherever you are,

we... we transcend, hmm?

How do you feel, Annie?

I feel loved.

You are loved.

You are deeply loved.

Who are you going to see, dear?

My husband...

James...

My father.

It's all right.

They will all be there.

I...

Soon, Annie.

Soon.

Over soon.

All of the pain and

all of the grief,

you renounced it, haven't you?

You've made a choice.

You're ready to go,

aren't you, honey?

Come.

Come. Breathe in.

Breathe in.

Breathe deeply.

You feel her spirit?

I can feel it.

I can feel it.

She's with all of us now...

And your father...

And your wife...

And your son.

Don't cry.

There's no darkness,

just reunion.

Annie is safe now.

This is what it's about.

We did not just

watch somebody die.

That was real?

- Yes, it was.

- Yeah.

Why would anyone

want to watch that?

She just wanted to show everyone

that there's nothing to be afraid of.

That was the point.

She was very sick.

With what?

She barely looked 30.

Cancer.

Look, I get it.

If you gotta go at 30,

it's not a bad way,

surrounded by people

who love you.

On video?

It's beautiful.
