anything you didn't want to.

Okay? But tonight

you can prove to us

that you're at least

willing to try to get past this.

Guys, please.

I can't do this.

Maddie, listen to me.

We're all here for you.

But you have

to confront this tonight

so you can see that there's

nothing trying to hurt you.

You'll be fine, I promise.

This is how

you make it up to her.

You can either face it

here with us

or let it ruin you alone.

Because after tonight...

we're not gonna be here.

Come on. It's okay.

- Cathryn?

- We need a conduit

if you're going to make contact.

The bathtub will act as a bridge

to the other side.

It's okay.

We're all here.

Everyone, relax.

Take a few deep breaths.

We want a comfortable environment

to welcome our guest.

You guys, I can't stress

how much of a bad idea

I think this is.

Maddie, it's okay.

Cathryn's a professional.

Okay, here we go.

We open ourselves up

to communicate

with whoever it is

that wishes to speak to Madison.

We welcome ourselves

to this spirit.

If you are here with us,

please show us a sign.

Um...

that's good.

We have someone here with us.

Whoever you are,

we are here to make peace.

We are reassuring Madison that

you are not here to harm her,

but just a lost soul.

If you do

wish Madison any harm...

show us a sign now.

Well, that's good news.

No, no, no.

Don't break the circle.

- What the f***, guys?

- That wasn't me.

This is done.

Maddie, relax.

What?

- It was all a hoax.

- No, it's...

No, it was a hoax.

Sorry, we thought

if we could convince you

that nothing was wrong...

we just thought it would help.

Thanks for taking

this seriously, you guys.

Maddie, sorry.

Look, we probably

shouldn't have,

but we can't keep watching you

do this to yourself.

I'm not trying to do this.

I don't know what to do.

Nothing helps.

Look, if you really

want to get better...

we have to do

something radical.

Do you want to get better?

You'll be safe.

We're all here and we won't let

anything happen to you.

I can feel him.

He's here.

No, he's not.

He's not real.

Just face it, Maddie.

Just lean back into our arms

and you'll see once and for all.

Don't let me go, okay?

Pull her out!

Pull her out!

- I can't!

- Calm down.

She's gonna drown!

Get her out!

I can't!

Get out of the way!

Maddie!

God, Maddie.

Maddie? Maddie?

Oh, sh*t.

Maddie? Maddie?

Maddie?

Maddie, are you okay?

Are you okay, Maddie?

Maddie, what just happened?

- Who is that?

- What?

Oh, my God, someone's here.

- I just saw him.

- Enough!

No, I swear,

someone was right there!

You think playing mind games

with her is okay?

Were you holding her under?

No, I didn't.

I swear someone was right there.
