-Please, help me!

-Okay, okay, okay.

We're going.

Lorraine, please, you shouldn't be doing

any of this. Just sit down.

I'm perfectly capable

of putting a few things away.

I did it for Josh his whole life.

I know, but I feel terrible.

I think it's you who should be sitting down

by the looks of it.

I can't believe you got Josh to hold still

for a photo.

What I can't believe

is that we are doing this all over again.

Ridiculous.

You must think I'm crazy.

Nobody,

not me or anybody, knows

what you're going through right now.

Whatever you have to do

to get through it, do it.

And you don't have to apologize

for anything.

Thanks.

Dalton?

Your faith can help. Trust it, you know.

-Hello.

-Josh.

This is the first line of a joke, right?

A guy comes home to find his wife

with a priest.

This is Liam Martin.

-Nice to meet you.

-He's actually a very old friend of mine.

-This is my husband, Josh.

-What's going on here?

-I should be going.

-Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the tea.

This thing from the other house

has followed us here.

I saw something today.

I thought it was a little boy.

I followed it into Dalton's room.

But it wasn't a child. It was something else.

So what?

You just brought a priest in to get rid of it?

I didn't know what else to do, Josh.

Come on, Renal.

When's the last time you went to church?

What's happening to Renai is real.

I've seen it for myself.

I came today because last night

I had a dream about this place.

I was in this house, but it was late at night.

I was afraid.

I went into your bedroom,

but you were both asleep.

I knew I was asleep in the dream,

but I could feel that someone was awake

in the house.

I went into Dalton's room.

There was something in there with him.

It was standing there in the corner.

I asked it, "Who are you?"

And it said it was a visitor.

I said, "What do you want?"

It Said, "Dalton"

I can still hear that voice.

What? What?

-it's here!

-What?

Jesus!

Oh, my God!

Okay. He's okay.

Please! Please, help him! Please!

I know someone who can help

if you're willing to ask.

I'm Specs. This is Tucker.

-I'm Renai. Hi.

-Hi.

-You must be Josh.

-Yeah. Hi.

That wasn't psychic.

Elise already told me your name so...

Where is Elise?

She sent us ahead

to do some preliminary tests.

Helps weed out the nut jobs.

-What is that?

-It's a Trifield meter.

Measures DC fields

and the natural

electromagnetic environment.

Yeah, sometimes old wiring

can leak into the atmosphere.

It causes hallucinations, changes in energy.

It's a little more important than that,

but whatever.

The tech stuff's not really relevant
