It was a big mistake acknowledging this doll.
And through that, the inhuman spirit tricked you.
You gave it permission to infest your lives.
What's an inhuman spirit?
It's something that's never walked the earth in human form.
It's something demonic.
So, the doll was never possessed?
No, it was used as a conduit.
It was moved around to give the impression of possession.
Demonic spirits don't possess things.
They possess people.
It wanted to get inside of you.
And given this unusual feature,
the doll will need to be properly cared for.
- Cared for? - Mmm-hmm.
It should be destroyed.
That would only make things worse.
We think it best the doll come with us.
We'll keep it somewhere safe.
That sounds like a great idea.
She's all yours.
The dreams I hold
Memories
Love could be
How much longer, do you think?
Eh, about an hour.
Why don't you put your head back? Get some rest.
No, you get lost coming home from the supermarket.
If I do that, we might end up in California.
Well, so you wake up to the sound of the Pacific.
Nothing wrong with that.
I'll pick up Judy on the way.
Ah, that actually sounds so nice, Ed.
We should plan on it.
Uh-oh.
What's this?
You folks need to turn around. Pretty bad accident up ahead.
Uh, anything we can do?
You a doctor or something?
Or something.
He just meant if you need an extra set of hands.
Yeah.
We got it covered. Thanks.
Nice doll.
That's what you think.
All right, you're gonna head three miles back to the last exit.
You'll hop on 26, that'll loop you around.
- Twenty-six. Got it. - Thank you, Officer.
A guy and his doll.
I think we missed our turn.
We didn't miss it. Bridgewater's just up ahead.
Bridgewater? Old Ridge Road. Where did you get Bridgewater from?
You know what? I think we missed our turn.
I'll keep my eye out for the Pacific.
Ed?
- Ed? - Hang on, hang on.
Come on.
What just happened?
I'll pop the hood and find out.
Well, be careful.
There we go.
I like your doll.
I feel cold.
You were just in an accident.
I was?
Sorry. Wires crossed.
That should do it.
Honey, you okay?
Ed!
I'm okay.
I'm so sorry!
All of a sudden it was like somebody took over my truck.
I had no control. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's the doll, Ed.
It's a beacon for other spirits.
Over here.
Father, sooner the better. Yeah?
Yeah.
Be not wise in thine own eyes.
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked.
But he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Surely, he scorneth the scorners,
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
The wise shall inherit the glory,
but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Amen.
We need another barrier of protection.
A holy one.
I agree.
The blessing will only do so much.
That chapel glass we got from Trinity Church before it was torn down,
where is that?
Let us forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Did it work?
Hmm. The evil is contained.
Colorful, magical, wonderful, wow!
The Captain is coming Just look at him now
Super sensational, special and new
The Captain is coming With something for you
Here comes Captain Kangaroo
Okay, Judy.
I just saw Mary Ellen pull up. Go and get your things.
But first put your cereal in the...
All right. Never mind. I'll do it.
Captain Kangaroo is who
Will make this day so great with you
Colorful, magical, wonderful, wow!
The Captain is coming Just look at him now
Super sensational, special and new
The Captain is coming And you're gonna love him
What's that?
Captain Kangaroo
Oh.
Well?
You're my hero.
The pizza money is on the counter
and numbers are by the phone.
Perfect.
And we'll be back early tomorrow morning.
Well, and take your time, we'll be fine. Right, Judy?
Yeah.
- So, you'll... - Behave? Yes.
- And you'll remember to go to... - Remember to go to bed on time.
Absolutely.
- All right, don't forget to... - To have fun.
- I know. - That, too.
Did you guys rehearse that, or what?
Earth to Judy!
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm fine.
Well, it's just a couple more hours until the weekend.
I'm gonna run to the market for supplies during my free period.
I'll pick you up after, okay?
Sounds super.
Bye, Judy!
Have a good day!
Mrs. Faley, it's right over here. Let me show you.
How could you not tell me what the Warrens did for a living?
Shouldn't you be in math class?
Mary Ellen!
I babysat the Smiths for over two years and never told you what they did.
Oh, what do they do?
They're podiatrists.
So not the same.
Well, obviously, I'm coming over later.
We do have that social studies project
- that we need to work on. - Uh...
We don't have any project.
Okay, but how would they know?
She's psychic.
Then, they're heroes.
I think they're concerned parents
who wouldn't want negative influences around their child.
What negative influence? 'Cause I sometimes stay out past curfew?
Among other things.
So, what's it like inside the house?
Is it all creepy music and cobwebs?
No. No, it's boring suburbia. The inside of your locker is scarier.
Wait. Whose party, and why wasn't I invited?
Judy's birthday is coming up, so we're gonna celebrate early.
You really are the best babysitter, you know that?
Compliments will get you nowhere.
What about threats?
Did you happen to notice who's working checkout?
- Have a good one. - Will do.
- Thank you so much. - See you soon.
You wouldn't.
You know what they call him, right?
What?
Bob's-Got-Balls.
How you doing?
Hi, Daniela.
Uh...
- Hi, Mary Ellen. - Is this everything?
- I think so. - Oh, cool.
You live near the Warrens, don't you, Bob?
- Uh... - Yeah, Mary Ellen's babysitting
for them tonight.
Yeah. Yeah, I live right across the street.
Do you ever see anything scary over there?
Like a ghost, maybe?
Bob...
Mrs. Faley went ahead and dropped a can of tomato sauce in aisle five
and it looks like a crime scene, so get the mop.
- Ladies. Did you find everything okay? - Yes, sir.
Bob here is not giving you any trouble, is he?
- No. - No.
- Yeah, I got it. Thanks, Dad. - All right.
I'll do it right after.
So, what'd you see?
At the Warrens'?
Uh, nothing. Nothing.
Your total is $3.50, so...
Oh.
But you knew what the Warrens did?
There were rumors, I guess, but...
Rumors. Interesting.
Did you know there's a rumor going around about you, Bob?
- Wait, really? - What is it about?
Uh, it's about a girl who has a...
Fine. You can come. Stop.
- Oh. Sorry. - Sorry.
- That's totally my fault. - It's okay.
Um... So, what...
Bye, Bob. Thanks.
Bye.
Uh, she forgot her eggs, so...
Here.
She likes you.
There's been an accident.
Don't touch her.
You'll get obsessed.
- It's "possessed." - That's what I said.
Anyways, if you know so much,
why don't you tell us if you can catch cooties from a ghost?
You can't.
Well, then how'd you get 'em?
Anthony Rios!
Don't make me get your sister.
Please don't.
Then go. All of you. Come on.
Come on. Let's go!
I'm sorry I can't come to your birthday party, Judy.
You can't either?
My parents said I'm not really prepared to process death yet.
It's a birthday party.
I'm sorry.
Hey, how long has that been happening?
Since everyone heard about the article this week.
Please don't tell my parents.
I won't. I won't as long as you do.
- I don't want them to worry. - They're parents.
They're worried about everything whether they need to be or not.
Are you sure the bullying is the only thing that's bothering you?
That isn't bothering me.
You know what I mean.
And remember our deal. No secrets.
I know.
I don't have any.
What did you get at the store?
A surprise.
- You said no secrets. - A surprise isn't a secret.
- What is it then? - It's a surprise.
You're gonna make a mess.
Hey! Save some for the cake.
No.
I think there's someone at the door.
I was knocking on the door for, like, 10 minutes.
How did you even get in?
Back door. Is this a spirit bell?
What's a spirit bell?
It tells you if you're in the presence of any spirits.
- So, it is one. - No.
It's just a bell. My mom collects them.
Oh.
Who are you?
She's Daniela, and she leaves after cake.
Oh, good!
I love cake.
So, Judy.
Don't your parents keep any creepy stuff around?
No.
They keep it all locked away in a room.
Well, can we at least go in and look?
No!
It's not really good for anyone to go in there.
How come?
Just isn't.
Wait.
Here.
Birthday present.
What is it?
Look inside.
Mmm?
How did you even afford those?
They're my old ones.
But I only ever used them once 'cause I broke my arm
the first time I put them on.
You're kidding.
She looks way more coordinated.
They're gonna ruin the floors.
Can we go around the block, then?
- I don't think... - Good idea.
You guys go. I'll watch the cake and make sure it doesn't burn.
Fine. But don't snoop. Don't touch.
Don't do anything. Please?
Stay in the kitchen. Promise me.
I promise.
Fuck it.
I am calling out to the spirits on the other side.
Please unlock this door and let me in.
Shit.
Please don't judge me.
Amen.
Whoa.
What'd you do to get in there?
If there is a presence here in this room...
please give me a sign.
Any sign at all.
Dad?
This is stupid.
Shit.
You burnt the cake? Daniela.
Only the top.
Just put frosting on it.
She'll never know.
How'd it go with the skates?
She loved them until she fell on the way back
and skinned her knee.
Better than breaking her arm.
Where is she anyway?
She's out feeding the chickens.
They have chickens?
Hey. How's your knee?
Oh.
Looks like your jeans will at least need some stitches.
It's okay.
Accidents happen.
So, are you scared yet?
Scared? What? No.
Who says they're scared?
Kids in my class.
Anthony Rios started it.
I hate him.
Wait. Tony Rios started it?
Do you know him?
Yeah, he's my brother.
Anthony Rios is your brother?
Yeah, I know. Don't hold it against me.
I don't like him either.
You know, he still wets the bed.
You didn't hear it from me.
Or maybe you did, I don't care.
Still, just...
go a little easy on him.
It's been a tough year.
You lost somebody, didn't you?
My dad. Uh...
Did Mary Ellen tell you?
No.
I just knew.
Um, for delivery.
Could I do one large, please?
Um, it's gonna be 3506 Wayman Street.
Oh, perfect. Thank you.
Coming.
Hold your horses.
Who is it?
Hello?
Daniela?
Is Annabelle there?
Who?
Can Annabelle come out to play?
I think you have the wrong house. There's no Annabelle here.
Yes, she is.
She's right behind you.
People are just... They're really weird about death.
That's probably why the kids pick on you at school.
It scares them.
They treat it like it's some disease they don't wanna get
even though everyone already has it.
But here's the thing.
I used to think it was fatal and whammo. It's, like, out.
Like turning off a TV.
Then I learned about your parents
and their whole exploration into the afterlife and stuff...
and they gave me hope.
That maybe life goes on somehow.
Maybe...
my darling dad is still out there somewhere.
"Darling dad"?
It was a thing.
He was darling dad, and I was darling Daniela...
Stupid.
He's still out there, you know.
You think so?
My parents would say he is, too.
Where are you going?
Be right back.
Dad?
Daniela?
Daniela!
Where did she go?
What are you doing?
Daniela, you're not supposed to go down there!
- What are you doing? - I thought I saw something.
What did you see?
Forget it. It doesn't matter.
Judy?
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust.
Let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me into thy righteousness
and cause me to escape. Incline thine ear...
Hey! Hey, Judy! Judy.
What's going on? What's wrong?
What's going on?
What happened?
Nothing.
Judy...
I just got scared.
Scared of what?
Sometimes...
I see things.
Like how my mom sees things.
You mean like ghosts?
Where do you see them?
Everywhere I go.
Judy...
Ghosts used to be people.
And not every person you meet is bad...
so maybe not all ghosts are bad, either.
Daniela.
- You have to see this. - What?
It's this case the Warrens investigated about this girl
who was terrorized by something called the Ferryman.
Here's a picture of the girl he killed.
Look familiar?
I mean, you two could be sisters.
Here's the rest of the file, if you want to take a look.
Look at all this stuff.
How cool.
Okay, this is the file on the Black Shuck.
The Black Shuck?
It was a case the Warrens investigated
about a hellhound that possessed a man in England.
He terrorized the shit out of this town.
What's with the coins over their eyes?
What?
Oh, I don't know. I didn't get that far.
They used to put them over the eyes of the dead
to pay the Ferryman, so he could take their souls to the underworld.
It was his toll.
Okay, we should go.
It's okay. I sometimes like to snoop, too.
Do you know what this does, Judy?
I think it's called a Mourner's Bracelet.
It helps you contact your lost loved ones.
- What's that? - Um...
It's a case my parents investigated recently.
The wedding dress.
It haunts people.
And it makes them violent.
Where is the dress now?
Down the hall in the artifact room.
I mean, that's where all this stuff is.
Right, Judy?
- That's what you said earlier. - Oh, um...
Yeah.
My dad says that everything in there
is either haunted, cursed...
or used in some ritualistic practice.
What about the doll that's in there?
Because I read this interview with your dad...
No.
Don't talk about her.
Why not?
She's in a case for a reason.
Okay, we should go.
- I wonder what's on this. - No, Daniela! Wait!
I command you, unclean spirit,
along with all your minions,
I command you
to obey me to the letter!
Okay, show's over. Let's go do something else.
Do something that's actually appropriate.
Come on, don't you at least wanna hear about the samurai?
What about this one?
I don't remember that one.
How do you play?
Let's find out.
Okay. Okay, so you draw a card,
and whatever picture it has on it is the object you try to find
by feeling around inside the box.
If the object you pull out matches the picture, then you get a point.
You go first.
Okay.
You gonna get that?
Yeah.
Sorry, you guys keep playing.
Oh, got a point.
Nice.
Hello?
Hi, Mary Ellen.
Hi.
Remember how, at the store, Daniela said that you were babysitting here?
Yeah. Yeah.
Me, too.
Anyways, that's why I'm here.
Oh.
Bob, they don't really want me having boys over.
No, that's not what I meant. I don't wanna come in.
I just, uh...
I mean, I would, but...
well...
I just knew you were gonna be here...
and I just wanted to come by and talk to you
without my stupid dad or somebody interrupting.
Bob's-Got-Balls!
Nice.
You two sharing some pizza?
- I should get the money. - Yeah.
Are you two, like...
I... I wish.
You know you need to, like, woo her, right?
- Woo her? - Yeah.
Guys like Mary Ellen, they need to be wooed.
You mean girls like Mary Ellen.
What did I say?
Guys.
So, how do I woo her?
There's only one way to woo.
It's obvious.
Rock and roll.
Here. Keep it.
Sweet.
Thanks, and that means you can keep this.
Minus one slice.
I enjoyed that in the car.
See you later, Balls.
I would invite you in, but like I said...
No, yeah, it's cool.
I thought I'd just stop by and say hi, I guess, so...
I'm glad you did.
Me, too.
Hey, Bob, um...
how come they call you that?
Um...
Well, you know how I'm the equipments manager for the basketball team?
- Yeah. - That's why.
There's not really, like, a story or anything behind it.
Just like, "Hey, I need balls."
I'm, like, "I got it. Balls. Got 'em."
I'll see woo later.
You. You. I'll see you later.
I'm gonna go.
Bye, Bob.
Bye.
All right, Carolyn,
even a fortune teller couldn't have predicted
the place we picked for your date with Don.
Because who could ever have dreamed up a place
as unbelievably fabulous as...
Las Vegas, Nevada?
Yes, "amazing" is the word for it.
You'll be flying off for a fling at the fabulous town of Las Vegas
to be guests of the fantastic Flamingo Hotel,
a favorite spot along the Vegas Strip.
And, Dawn, as a little special gift for you...
Can you get your arms around there?
Mary Ellen?
Daniela?
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Judy
Happy birthday to you
Okay, Judy.
Ready for bed?
This is for you.
What's this?
It's an invitation to my birthday party.
I don't think many people are gonna come...
but will you?
You see what I got?
I got mine weeks ago.
So, you'll come?
I wouldn't miss it.
You sheltered me from harm
You kept me warm
What's that?
You kept me warm
Oh, my God.
It isn't.
It is.
You sheltered me from harm
You kept me warm
You kept me...
Warm
Bob!
You gave my life...
Uh... Um...
Nobody else will ever know
The part of me that can't let go
I would give anything I own
Uh...
Bob's got balls.
Just to have you back again
How do I look? Where's my inhaler?
Shit, no, it's in my car. What am I supposed to do?
You will be fine. It's only Bob.
Just to touch you once again
Shit!
No!
Bob?
He left.
Hmm, hopefully he went home to practice.
Okay. Back up to bed.
- Daniela. - Yeah, yeah.
I'd feel better if you let me stay. I can wake up early.
- We don't even have to tell Judy. - No. No, it's fine.
Go home.
But...
But what?
Thank you for coming.
I actually think it helped Judy a lot.
Sorry you didn't get to see any cobwebs or hear any creepy music.
Well, the Bob thing was kind of creepy, at least.
But if Bob comes knocking on this door late at night,
forget you're you for a minute and let him in.
Call me tomorrow and tell me the details.
There will be no details to tell.
Shit.
How'd her dad die?
I don't know if that's the best bedtime story.
Look who my parents are.
I'm used to it.
Well...
the short of it is that he died in a car accident.
And the long of it is that...
Daniela was driving.
Was it her fault?
No.
There's only one person who actually thinks it was her fault.
Okay.
Let's try this again.
If there is a presence here...
Dad?
You did this to me!
It's all your fault!
Get back here!
You did this to me!
No, no, no. Please.
Please, no, no. Don't go.
Don't go.
No, no, no. No, come here.
Come here, come here. No. No.
I'm sorry.
Judy?
Is that why he picked her up from the closet?
Yes. That must have been it.
He's not gonna pick her up in a closet, is he?
You stay here and don't make any noise.
What is happening?
Where's my coffee?
Good morning.
You've been experiencing supernatural...
Good morning. Where's my coffee?
Just a second.
He had silver coins for his eyes.
She said his light shows you the way to the land of the dead.
I just wanna find my sister.
And when did she first see him?
Not long before he took her.
She said she'd wake up, and he'd be in her room...
watching her sleep.
The night she went missing, we both woke up to a noise.
It sounded like a coin falling on the floor.
She told me to wait in her room.
So I did.
She never came back.
I went to look for her and ended up in a long hallway.
Filled with coffins.
Last night...
I woke up to a noise.
Another coin being dropped.
It was like he was...
Like he was calling me.
Have you ever seen the Ferryman?
If you don't pay his toll,
he'll take your soul.
If you don't pay his toll, he'll take your soul.
If you don't pay his toll,
he'll take your soul.
If you don't pay his toll, he'll take your soul.
Shit! Shit! Shit! No.
Judy! Judy!
Judy!
Judy! Open the door, Judy!
I like your dolls.
Judy! Judy!
Go out the back!
We're trapped.
- Hello? - Oh, thank God. Mrs. Warren?
Mom?
Mary Ellen? Judy?
Is everything okay? What's going on?
Judy's fine. Um...
Something is happening inside your house...
and I don't think it's safe to go outside.
We're not really sure what to do.
Can I speak to Annabelle?
I'm sorry?
You need to give her a soul, dear.
- What? - A soul. She wants her soul.
Give me her soul.
Wait! Don't!
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing here?
Annabelle.
The doll. She's the one who's doing all of this.
A doll?
She wants a soul.
I... I just wanted to see him again.
What did you do?
I wanted to tell him I'm sorry.
I know it was my fault.
Daniela...
what did you do?
I let her out.
What else did you touch?
Everything.
Run! Run! Go!
Mary Ellen!
It's her asthma. She's having an attack.
The inhaler's in her car.
I'll go get it.
No! Let me!
Judy! Run!
Mary Ellen!
Here.
Are you okay?
Where... Where's Daniela? She came after you.
Mary Ellen?
Judy? I'm up here.
No. That's not Daniela.
Something has a hold of her. I can feel it.
What do we do?
We have to find Annabelle.
We have to put her back in the case.
Do you know where she is?
No.
Wait, wait, Judy, don't.
Not all ghosts are bad.
Right?
Not all ghosts are bad.
What did you say?
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
I'll get her.
No, no, no. No! Just stop!
Where do your parents keep the key?
I don't know. It's never locked.
I know where the key is.
- I'll get it. - No! No, don't.
I'll do it.
Judy!
I got it.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Oh, my God.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us for our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespassed against us.
Mary Ellen?
Go!
Daniela.
Daniela, please!
Daniela, stop!
Stop!
I command you, unclean spirit,
along with all your minions,
now attacking this servant of God.
- I command you to obey me to the letter. - Judy, run!
In his name, they will take up serpents.
...with his hands and condemn all evil.
I command you, unclean spirit,
along with all your minions,
- to obey me to the letter. - No, no.
I, who am a servant of God,
I command you, unclean spirit,
along with all your minions,
now attacking this servant of God...
Judy!
Judy! Judy. Judy.
Get the doll!
- Close it! - I'm trying!
Hurry!
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Put her in!
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us for our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespassed against us,
lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil...
Amen.
Is it over?
The evil has been contained.
Bob?
- Are you guys okay? - Yeah. We're okay.
- Are you okay? - No!
There was a werewolf outside!
You saw the werewolf?
Yeah.
He saved me from it.
You did?
Yeah. Yeah.
Kind of.
Maybe we should talk about this somewhere else.
Good morning from the staff of WPKW-PV6 in Hartford, Connecticut.
This is Hartford, Connecticut,
the land of steady habits...
My parents.
Shit! You're not supposed to have boys over.
I think that's the least of our concerns right now, Bob.
Yeah, yeah. I should probably still get going.
Hey, listen, um, so, Homecoming is coming up
- and I would really like... - Yes. I'll go.
With me?
Yes, if the Warrens don't kill me first.
We tell them everything.
Mom!
Judy! What are you doing up so early?
Don't get mad...
What happened to your car?
Here we go.
We'll have our own party, huh?
- What? - Can you please take that off?
It won't always be like this, I promise.
You know, and sooner or later, you'll find people who understand.
And as for young Anthony,
he better hope I don't run into him anytime soon.
Ed.
Happy birthday, Judy.
Thank you.
Happy birthday.
I, uh, had a little talk with my brother.
Thanks.
Come in.
Is it okay if my boyfriend joins?
Sure.
Um...
- Hi, uh, thanks for having us. - Hey.
Bob's-Got-Balls.
No kidding.
- Hi, Judy! - Happy birthday, Judy!
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
- Hello, Judy, happy birthday. - Hey, guys, welcome.
Keep comin'.
Happy birthday, Judy.
- Anthony? - I'm really sorry.
Am I still invited?
Sure.
Daniela?
I have something for you.
For me?
You found out the hard way
that there is a lot of evil in this room.
But you know what I actually like about it?
All the evil in here...
reminds me of all the good that's out there.
Darling Daniela.
Did Judy tell you that?
No. Your dad did.
He also tells me that he misses you.
And to stop being so hard on yourself...
'cause it was not your fault.
Thank you.
Um...
I'm sorry.
Oh.
It's okay.
You're young.
You know, when I was about your age,
I once ran off with a boyfriend for three days
without telling my parents.
I unleashed a demon.
So not the same thing.
Well, okay. True.
