[TV static crackles]

[dark orchestral music continues]

[ominous music]

[crickets chirping]

[dramatic orchestral music]

- Hurry!

We need to get it to hollow ground!

- The church is five

miles away. Is there time?

- We have no choice!

[dramatic orchestral music continues]

[demon snarls]

- He's coming!

[demon snarls]

- Get it to the church, now.

[dramatic orchestral music continues]

[demon snarls]

The Lord is my savior.

He protects me!

[demon snarls]

The Lord is my savior! He protects me!

He protects me!

[demon screams]

[dramatic orchestral music continues]

- Go! Hurry!

[priest breathes heavily]

- Though I walk...

Though I walk through the

valley of the sorrow of death...

[suspenseful orchestral music]

I fear no evil!

[engine revs]

[demon roars]

[demon growls]

[horn blares]

[dark orchestral music]

[horn blares]

[dark music continues]

[engine revs]

[dark music continues]

[clock chimes]

- Father Maynard!

Father Jarvis!

Please!

I need you to get this inside, quickly!

- I don't understand!

- I'll explain later!

I need it inside, now!

[dark music continues]

- Father Baines, are you okay?

What's wrong?

What is it?

Call an ambulance!

[dark music continues]

[eerie whispering tones]

[gears scraping]

[dark music continues]

[brooding orchestral music]

[church bells tolling]

[birds chirping]

[group chattering]

- [Mike] Maybe she just

needs a little time to

figure herself out, right?

- I mean, am I doing something wrong?

I feel like such an outsider

in her life, sometimes.

- Well, she is a teenager. I mean...

Teenagers hate their parents, right?

I mean, they're supposed to.

I mean, you remember all those movies

you used to watch as a kid?

I mean, they all portrayed

parents as being silly and goofy,

and we love those movies, but guess what?

Well, now we're those

uncool parents, so...

- I know.

I just can't help but

feel like I'm failing her.

And I trust her.

I just don't want to

be there to guide her.

- And there's a fine line

between guidance and controlling,

and if we cross that line,

we're gonna push her away.

You know?

[Sara sighs]

- All I'm saying is that I just wanna keep

an open dialogue with her.

Okay, Mike? I don't wanna lose her.

I've lost enough.

- She's not your mom.

We don't wanna project that on her, okay?

We wanna give her the freedom

to make good decisions, okay?

[Sara chuckles]

- You're right.

I'm sorry. [chuckles]

She's just getting so big, so quick.

- Yeah, I know. It's scary. [chuckles]

- I hate it. [chuckles]

- Let's find this lamp you're looking for

and get home before the game starts, huh?

[clock chimes]

[eerie music]

- Mike.

[Sara sighs]

Isn't it beautiful?

- It's dusty.

- Nothing a quick cleaning can't fix.

You hardly ever see these anymore.

- Mm, I could see why.

[Sara sighs]

- I think it's beautiful.

It reminds me so much of

the one my mother had,

when I was a kid.

- Is that...

Is that blood on the face?

- Someone probably just cut

themselves putting it together.

Nothing that can't be cleaned.

- Looks to be about a hundred years old.

- Older than that.

[Sara gasps]

- I'm sorry. We did not

hear you come up. [chuckles]

- I saw you were admiring the clock.

- Yes. It's really beautiful.

- It's somethin', yeah.

- Father Baines brought it to

the church, several years ago,

and then tragically passed

away that same night.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- We put it down here

because there's just no room

left in the church.

- How much do you want for it?

- Oh... [sighs]

Not much interest in

grandfather clocks these days.

Plus, it, it doesn't chime.

- But it just chimed a moment ago.

[eerie music]

- You say this clock struck?

- Yeah. I mean, not at the right time.

But yeah, we heard it.

- Very interesting.

- So, how much?

- Oh, I'm sure we could

let it go for, say, $100?

- Yeah, we're really not...

- We'll take it. [chuckles]

- Gonna leave here without it.

How much does it weigh, Father?

- Mike! [sighs]

[Mike sighs]

Go back up the truck.

- I'll put a bow on it for you, okay?

- Guess we're proud new

owners of a grandfather clock.

[ominous music]

[dog barks]

[clock ringing]

- [Sara] Isabel!

[footsteps clacking]

- You called me?

- [Sara] What do you think?

- [Isabel] What is it?

- And now I'm officially old. [sighs]

- This is a grandfather clock.

It's over a hundred years old.

They used to be all the rage.

It chimes once for each hour.

So, no matter where you are in the house,

you always know what time it is.

[eerie music]

[clock chimes]

Well, we'll have to get that part fixed,

but what do you think?

- It's pretty cool?

I guess?

- Your grandmother used to have one,

almost exactly like this.

- Didn't she go crazy?

- She wasn't well,

when she passed in the hospital

when you were very young,

but before she went down that path,

she was very warm.

And caring.

[eerie music continues]

- Are you okay?

I didn't mean to-

- It's okay.

One day we'll sit down and

I'll tell you all about her.

Why don't you go get cleaned up

so you can help me with dinner?

- Okay.

[ominous music]

- So let me set this scene

for you, okay? All right?

So, you know me. I'm

behind the camera, right?

You know, I'm doing a

little director thing.

I'm zooming in on this tight a*s.

You know what I'm saying, man?

Yeah, she's climbing

outta the pool. It's...

God damn. [laughs]

You know, she's wearing

this thong. This...

[grunts] This red thong, man.

[Mike laughs]

You know.

[Mike chuckles]

And the water's just, just

beating down this perfect a*s.

Like...

[Mike laughs]

- They call that the money shot.

- Hell yeah, they do.

- That is hilarious.

- You know, I'm doing my slow,

comfortable zoom, as I call it.

You know, I'm really getting

in, and all of a sudden,

I'm feelin' somethin', you know?

It's a pain in my leg. I'm

starting to get off balance.

The last thing I want is for this camera

to touch the ground, you know?

It's an expensive-a*s camera.

So...

What do I do?

- Uh...

I don't know.

- Hm?

I...

Take one for the team!

- Hell yeah! He took it

for the team! [laughs]

- I'm just using my body,

I shield the camera.

I hold it for as long as

possible to get this shot, right?

I'm holding this down.

- Yeah.

- The longest second.

So, not only is the camera

operational, saved that b*tch-

- [Mike] [laughs] Yeah.

- Not only do I get the perfect a*s shot,

but we have had more

views in the past 48 hours

than anything we've ever shot to date.

That's some f*ck' teamwork, right there.

You know what I mean? Yeah?

- Hell yeah! Woo!

- So, how many subscribers

do you have now?

- [whistles] Well, um...

God, uh...

You know, I think the report

on our little pervatorium...

- Mm-hm?

[Vinny chuckles]

[Mike laughs]

We got about-

- Pervatorium!

- Pervatorium!

It's got about 300,000

subscribers and counting.

- [Mike] Nice.

- "Pervatorium"?

- Yeah, you gotta "Pervatorium".

You gotta say it like that.

- Stop! Don't mind him.

He's just trying to create

his own little dictionary.

Some of the made-up sh*t

that comes outta his mouth!

- Come on, you wanna

go to the Pervatorium?

Pervatorium! Come down to the Pervatorium!

Say it with me now! Perv...

Come on, Mike! Pervatorium.

Mm-hm.

[Mike laughs]

Yeah.

Come on. [laughs]

- Hell yeah.

[clock chimes]

[clock creaks]

- Well, happy f*ck' Halloween.

I can't remember the last

time I've seen one of these.

It's so creepy.

- Is that blood on the face?

- Oh, no way.

- Yeah, I think so.

We tried to clean it off, but

it's on there pretty good.

- Have you ever experienced anything weird

in this house before?

- No. Never.

- That's a shame.

[Vinny chuckles]

- We definitely need this

for the Halloween video!

- Oh, yes. [giggles]

- I just don't see what...

I don't...

I don't see what may have released it.

Nothing's wrong.

- Oh, shut the f*ck up!

- What happened?

- Your voice! It was echoing.

- Oh.

- It was cool.

- Testing one, two, three.

- Oh, shut the f*ck up!

[Vinny and Meg laughing]

Dude, I want this clock!

- How is that even possible?

- I don't know. Maybe, maybe the wood?

- Or, or, wait for it.

Maybe it's haunted. [laughs]

Right?

- [Meg] You wish, babe!

[Vinny and Meg laughing]

- Spooky! [laughs]

Ooh!

- Ooh, scary.

[Vinny and Meg laughing]

[crickets chirping]

[eerie music]

[clock door creaks]

[duvet rustling]

[switch clicks]

[Isabel sighs]

[eerie music continues]

[refrigerator door slams]

[eerie music intensifies]

[door thuds]

[Isabel sighs]

[switch clicks]

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

[door creaks]

[crickets chirping]

[flames roaring and crackling]

[ominous music]

[door creaks]

[bearded man sighs]

[door thuds]

- Where the f*ck have you been?

[keys clinking]

You knew it was girls' night.

We talked about this, weeks ago.

- Yeah, I got tied up

in a meeting, all right?

[Rebecca scoffs]

- "Meeting".

Uh...

Where? At the bar?

I can smell the liquor on you from here.

- Come on. Give me a break, all right?

Do you even give a sh*t what I do?

Or are you just worried

about me f*ck' comin' home,

and give you the g*dd*mn keys,

so you can go out with

your shitty-a*s friends.

[Rebecca scoffs]

[keys clinking]

[door creaks]

[crickets chirping]

[door slams]

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

[crickets chirping]

[bearded man sighs]

[cabinet door thuds]

[lid clatters]

[Rebecca breathes deeply]

[intense eerie music]

[Rebecca gasps]

[door creaks]

What?

You're not done with me yet?

[crickets chirping]

[door creaks]

[ominous music]

[crickets chirping]

[door thuds]

Hey, look.

I'm sorry.

Rebecca.

Come on. I don't wanna fight anymore.

[eerie music]

- You will help us.

[flames crackling]

- Who the hell are you?

I'm one of many.

The chimes call to us.

[eerie music continues]

They lead the way.

- What do you want with me?

- This vessel grows weak.

A new vessel is required

to help guide them.

- I don't understand.

- Our time is drawing here.

The chimes call to us.

Your sacrifice will help me

guide them through the gate.

I'm here for you.

[flames crackling]

[fly buzzes]

[engine revs]

[distant dogs barking]

[clock ringing]

[Mike sighs]

- Hey, kiddo. You okay?

What's going on, sweetie?

- Not much.

- Mm.

Well, I can tell when something's wrong.

Okay? You can talk to me.

- I just didn't get much sleep last night.

- Yeah. Did you have a nightmare?

Was it zombies? [chuckles]

I get those all the time.

- [chuckles] No.

I just felt like something

was in my room last night.

- What do you mean, "something"?

- Like something was

standing next to my bed.

Just watching me.

Something bad.

I don't really remember, but,

then I woke up and

there was nothing there.

- Mm. Well, that is weird,

but it was a nightmare, right?

And it's over.

Which is good, because I

have a great horror movie

picked out for us tonight.

I'd hate for us to have

to watch one of those

silly little girly movies

your mom likes, right?

[Mike chuckles]

- Sounds good, Evelyn.

We'll chat more about it

when you get here. [chuckles]

Oh, I bet. [chuckles]

Okay. We'll see you soon.

Okay. Bye.

[Sara gasps]

[ominous music]

[moody funk music]

- What's up, pervs, you

degenerates? Nah, I'm just playin'.

You know why you're here.

It's Vinny here and we got a

cool show lined up for you.

Don't forget to like and subscribe,

share my content with your friends,

with your family, if you're into that.

All right. I'll see you next time.

[moody funk music continues]

Mm.

Mm, work that.

Come on.

Yeah, that's it. That's what

I'm talking about, right there.

Perfect.

[whistles] Oh, my God. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Good girl.

Come on. Oh, yeah.

Come on, girl. Work it.

Yes!

Yes.

Perfect. Yes, yes.

Give daddy what he wants.

- Really, Vin?

Is "daddy" getting what he wants?

- Okay. Uh...

[camera clacks]

Yep. I think we got enough

content for today, yep.

Good job, girls.

Yep.

- I know that's all

you're getting tonight.

[engine revs]

[eerie music]

- Jesus Christ!

[birds squawking]

[engine revs]

as*h*le!

[dark music]

[mailbox clacks and squeaks]

[distant dogs barking]

[mailbox squeaks]

[mailbox clacks]

[ominous music]

- Mike!

Mike!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, what happened?

- There was a man outside.

He was just standing out

there, staring at me.

- Well, what do you mean?

- He was just outside.

- Okay.

- I don't know!

- Okay, okay. All right, all right.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna check it out.

- Mike!

- I'll be right back.

- Mike.

- It's okay, it's okay.

- [Sara] Please.

[tense music]

[distant lawnmower humming]

Sped down the highway, baby

You were in the passenger seat

You begged me to slow down, honey

As we listened to the engine scream

You fastened your seatbelt

and prayed it was a dream

I may be the jealous type

But you're a lying

f*cking backstabbing cheat

I'll see you in hell

I'll see you in hell

I'll see you in hell

I'll see you in hell

Pink roses and white wine, baby

Your dining time has been betrayed

This magic sedative

should numb your color

It's the [indistinct]

I feel my heart break, I accelerate

Now the speedometer's 112

Feel it now

- Nice job, babe!

- Not bad yourself!

Hey.

Maybe we can do a video

one day of the two of us,

for my Pervatorium.

- [laughs] Oh, my God.

I do not think that you

can handle all of this

in any of your movies.

- We'll see about that.

[stripper giggles]

- Well, anyway, I have

gotta head outta here.

I have got to pick up my man at 10.

- All right.

I'm just gonna shower and

then I'm gonna head out.

- Don't stay here too late, okay?

- No, ma'am.

I'll see you next Wednesday.

- [Stripper] Bye!

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

[footsteps clacking]

[distant glass shatters]

[eerie music continues]

[eerie music continues]

[eerie music intensifies]

[curtain rings clinking]

- God damnit, Vinny!

Quit messing around!

[eerie disembodied whispering]

[eerie disembodied whispering]

- Our time has come, Meg.

[eerie music continues]

- You will help lead us from the fire.

- Where are you?

- We will set my people free.

[ominous music]

[knife clicks]

- Our time is now.

[intense eerie music]

[Meg screams]

[Vinny sighs]

- Hey there, handsome.

- Holy sh*t!

Hi, Yolanda. How you, how you doing?

What's up?

- Come on now.

A big strong man like you,

scared a little old me?

- Well, I, uh...

You, you have a nice day there,

all right? Have a good one.

- Oh, I've been watching your videos.

I just wanna throw this out there.

I did a little bit of acting of my own

in high school, you know?

- Right.

Yep.

Listen, if we have a

part that is fit for you,

we'll be the first to call, all right?

Don't even, don't even

worry about it, okay?

- You do that, lover, and I promise

I'll put on a very good show for you.

- Oh, boy.

[door creaks]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[door thuds]

What a time.

[Mike whistles cheerfully]

[suspenseful music]

Yummers.

Holy sh*t!

[flesh squelches]

God damnit, woman.

[blood dripping]

Oh, God.

[flames crackling]

When did you even get back here?

- We need your help, Vincent.

We must get to the clock.

Our time is drawing near.

[Vinny chuckles]

- "We must get to the clock.

Our time is drawing near."

[Vinny laughs]

What, are you auditioning

for something over there?

You know, I gotta tell you,

your friend Yolanda over there has been...

Oh, my God!

Your f*ck'...

- Our time has come, Vincent.

- What?

- We need your body.

- What?

You, you...

Your f*ck', what did you do?

[eerie music]

- You heard the lady.

[Vinny gasps]

[tense orchestral music]

Something is calling you.

[Vinny screams]

- I'm not saying that

you didn't see something.

- Not something, Mike. Okay?

Someone.

He was staring at me

from the end of the road,

and the next thing I knew,

he's standing right there by the fence.

- Sara, I'm not doubting

that you saw someone,

and it spooked you, okay?

But when I went out there,

there was nothing there, okay?

Now, I'm gonna go pick up

dinner before your witchy friend

gets here and put the spell on me, okay?

[Mike sighs]

Look at that. Right on cue.

- Excuse me!

- Hello, Evelyn.

[Evelyn giggles]

Hey, Cass.

- What's that all about?

- You know him. Just a troublemaker.

- Gotta go. We don't wanna be

eating cold pizza now, do we?

Bye, guys.

- [Sara] Cassie, Isabel's in her room.

- Thank you.

- You can go back.

- Have fun.

So, I'm having a couple people

by the house next weekend,

and we're gonna try our first seance.

- Seriously?

- Yes!

I've been to a couple and

they're great. You should come.

- I don't know.

[Evelyn sighs]

- You told me stories about your mom's

supernatural experiences.

Don't you wanna know if

any of that resides in you?

- I'm not sure that I do.

After my mom passed away, I

tried to put all that behind me.

- Well, I think you should come

and get it all out in the

open and off your chest.

And what better way to do it

than with people who understand

what you've gone through?

- It kinda scares me, though,

and Mike doesn't seem to think

too much of it all, so...

- You told me when you were a little girl,

your mom felt energies within you.

I told you when I first

met you, I felt them too.

Don't you wanna learn more?

- Some of the first memories

of my mom are pretty crazy.

[Evelyn chuckles]

Your friends might think I'm nuts, too.

- Well, they've all heard my stories,

and haven't locked me up, so...

Wow.

You didn't tell me you

got a grandfather clock.

- Yeah. We just picked

it up this past weekend.

- Oh, my God.

It's beautiful.

[intense eerie music]

I can feel the energies coming from it.

Where did you get it?

- This estate sale at some church.

Wait. What did you feel?

- [Evelyn] I don't really know.

Like a lot of people have

owned this clock and passed on.

- Wait. What are you saying?

Are you saying this is

haunted or something?

- [chuckles] No, I'm not saying that.

It's just a really old clock,

and it may have been passed

on between several families

and collected a lot of

energy along the way.

[chuckles] Old things tend to do that.

[eerie music continues]

[birds chirping]

[distant church bells tolling]

- Where did you find a Ouija?

- My good friend Evelyn found it for me.

- Sara and I went to a garage

sale a couple weeks ago,

and I couldn't think of

a better home for it.

- Oh, by the way, is she coming

to the seance next weekend?

- I don't know.

I called and talked to her today about it,

but she just seems scared.

- I don't blame her.

After everything I heard about her mom.

I wouldn't want a chance

letting any of that in.

- What happened to her mom?

[Evelyn chuckles]

- Well, her mother was

heavy into black magic,

and Sara said that she was really gifted

and tried to bring her in at a young age.

Sara's grandparents tried to protect her.

So, they had her mom

committed to a hospital,

and when she was there,

she committed suicide.

- Oh, my God.

- Poor Sara.

I can't even imagine what

she must have gone through.

- Sara's told me that she's had dreams

and she'd seen things and had

premonitions, her whole life.

Her mother told her that she

was sensitive as a young child

and seeing things that

Sara saw just scared her.

- Well, I for one, can understand

not wanting to open those doors.

- I just... [sighs]

I just wish I could

find a way to help her.

- Well, we'll be here for her,

if she ever wants to find some answers.

But in the meantime, let's

get this party started.

[match strikes]

[ominous music]

[flames crackling]

- As we apply the sage,

we ask for assistance,

guidance,

and protection.

Evelyn.

Will you cut the cards once?

[ominous music continues]

Carol, we'll start with you.

What would you like to know?

- Will I ever find peace in

my current situation at home?

- Your card is the Mother of Pentacles.

She embodies nurturing,

abundance, and stability.

You are a pillar of strength

for those around you.

And Maya?

- Is something big going to happen for me?

Your card is the world.

It symbolizes fulfillment,

completion, and unity.

You stand at the threshold

of a new chapter of your life

where the threads of

your journey converge.

Embrace the lessons of your path.

They paved the way

to this moment of triumph and wholeness.

Evelyn?

- I feel like something

really bad is about to happen.

Or is that in my imagination?

[ominous music continues]

- The Knight of Swords.

This card speaks of fear, anxiety,

hate, and sleepless nights.

You find yourself haunted by

the shadow within your mind.

Seek solace in the light that

lies behind the darkness.

Now me!

[ominous music continues]

[thunder rumbles]

[glasses rattling]

[ominous music continues]

[demon speaks foreign language]

The gate is open.

- What's going on?

- The path is before us.

- What are you talking about?

Michelle.

- It calls to us.

[clock chimes rhythmically]

The chimes lead us.

- I don't understand.

- You will.

[Evelyn pants]

[demon shrieks]

[Evelyn screams]

- Holy sh*t, Evelyn!

- Are you okay?

- What happened, love?

[Evelyn gasps]

- I...

I don't know.

- Did you have a vision or something?

[Evelyn pants]

- I don't know.

That was weird.

[Carol sighs]

- [Carol] Looks like a

call for more wine, to me.

- Yeah.

[moody rock music]

- And then Brad picked him

up and threw him in the pool.

[Cassie chuckles]

You should've been there.

It was off the chain.

- I know.

Me and my mom got into it

about that, the other night.

She said I'm not old enough to

go to parties like that yet.

I just feel like I'm always

gonna be a little kid to her.

It's so annoying.

- Don't worry.

You're gonna be spending the

night at my house next weekend,

and a little birdie told me

that Michael Ryan may swing by.

- Michael Ryan?

[Cassie chuckles]

- My mom said we can glamp in the backyard

and use my dad's shed for the sleepover.

And I know her. She won't

be checking up on us, so...

- My future husband, Michael Ryan.

[Cassie chuckles]

- Oh! I almost forgot.

Look what I bought!

[eerie music]

- [Character] Battling your inner demons.

- I hated you!

You were my rock!

And when you left, you took

a piece of me with you.

- [Character] I have

been struggling so hard.

- Babe!

- Hm?

- I thought you said you were

gonna watch this with me?

- Well, why don't we

have a little fun first,

and then we'll watch it?

- Come on.

Not now.

- All right.

But you know these movies always end up

putting you to sleep, so...

- No. Not this one.

- Hm.

- This one is good.

- Okay.

- Are there any spirits here

that would like to talk to us?

- "Yes".

Come on. You're moving it.

- I swear you, I'm not.

[eerie music continues]

How long have you been here?

- "Not...

Long."

- [Cassie] Are you a good spirit?

- "Maybe?"

"I am."

- [Character] Thank you for

making me understand all of it.

You made amends, Mom.

You made amends. [sobs]

[eerie music continues]

- "Under."

[Cassie breathes heavily]

[Sara gasps and pants]

- What the hell?

What the hell is going on?

- "Bed."

[eerie music continues]

[ominous music]

[clock creaking]

[ominous music continues]

[intense eerie music]

[heartbeat thumps]

[Vinny chuckles]

You're about to see the

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

- Hey, Sara. Is everything okay?

[ominous music]

Is Cassie okay?

No. No, we're coming.

Just calm down. We're on our way.

We need to go get Cassie, now. [sighs]

- [Bob] Why? What, what, what happened?

- No, she said her and the kids

saw something in the house.

- Huh?

- What were you watching?

- Oh, nothin'. That was just for work.

What, what happened to Cassie?

- I don't know, she said that they just,

they saw like a ghost or

something in the house.

- [Bob] A ghost?

- You know, I knew I felt

something in the house.

- You're always right,

honey. Come on, sure.

- Bob, I'm...

I'm sorry.

- Don't worry about it.

It's not her last time.

- Bob?

- Yes.

- [Evelyn] Take her and wait in the car.

- Okay.

[Evelyn sighs]

- I'm so sorry, Evelyn.

I would've just-

- Sara.

I need you to listen to me.

There is something going on in this house,

and I'm sure of it.

I need you to call this number.

His name is Dr. Bruce Benchley

and he's an expert in paranormal research.

- I don't know that I can-

- He'll come.

But you have to call him.

[Evelyn pants]

[eerie music continues]

[doorbell rings]

[door clicks open]

- You must be Dr. Benchley.

- I am, indeed.

You must be Michael.

- Yes, yes.

- Call me Bruce, please.

- Okay, can I offer

you something to drink?

- No, no, I'm good. All good.

- We're gonna sit in here.

- Of course.

[ominous music]

A little background on myself.

I spent over two decades of my life

studying paranormal activities.

That is my passion.

So, when you called, I was very excited.

I couldn't have got hired

any sooner, if I tried.

Now, from what you've

shared with me so far,

it appears that you had some

somewhat supernatural events

take place in your home,

and what happened to your daughter.

And finally, you shared with me,

you saw something come out of the clock,

which is really unusual.

And I take it, Michael, you're

a bit skeptical about this.

- Man, I don't know what

I believe, to be honest.

I mean, I know my wife's been, you know,

under a lot of stress lately, but I mean,

I do believe that she

believes she saw something.

[clock chimes]

- [chuckles] Speaking of the devil.

Well, that is a beautiful piece.

Do you know much about it?

- No.

Just that we picked it up

at this church estate sale,

like I told you on the phone.

But I think what drew me to it was that

it looked so much like the

clock that my mother owned,

right before she...

- Went away?

- Yes.

Before she went away.

- Well, I've taken notes,

about the church that you

shared with me, and uh,

I'll do some digging around on the church,

and see what I come up with

and I'll share that with you.

- Okay, look.

This all started when we

brought the damn clock here.

So, why don't we just get rid of it?

- I really don't recommend that, Michael.

- Why not?

I mean, listen, if it's

the source of any issue,

then if we remove it, then

it should clear it up.

- But if there's something

supernatural here,

it may have not originated in the clock.

But if it did, then

you'd simply be risking

moving the issue to someone else.

Then again, if it didn't

originate in the clock,

more than likely,

it's already taken up

residence in your home.

I can offer you this. I

know a wonderful medium.

She's a friend of mine.

Very gifted individual.

Her name is Dorothy Chambers.

Her and I have worked

together in the past.

She's a very gifted medium.

She could put together

a seance and we could-

- Seances?

- Yes, with Dorothy.

Her seance will communicate

with a spirit guide

and they two together can

determine what the problems are

and how to resolve them.

Mike, I know this can

be a bit overwhelming,

but things like ghosts and supernatural?

They're not things I can prove to you.

Look, I don't wanna impose on

you in these delicate times,

but you need to make a decision.

You must decide what you want to do.

If you decide to go forward with this,

I'll give Dorothy a call

and set everything up.

How's that sound?

Sound good to you?

Okay, Mike.

Listen.

I want to thank you

both for a lovely time.

- Thank you so much, Dr. Benchley.

- You're quite welcome. Michael.

- Yeah.

- All right, Michael.

- Yeah.

[Mike sighs]

Sara.

[Mike sighs]

[engine revs]

[Bruce chuckles]

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

- Hello!

- Hello, Dorothy.

- [Dorothy] Well, hello there, Brucey!

I didn't think I'd have the

pleasure to be chatting with you

twice in one day.

- Well, neither did I,

but I need a few minutes of your time.

- [Dorothy] Mm-hm?

- [Bruce] I'm working on a case

that I discussed with you earlier.

- [Dorothy] You mean that

young couple with the clock?

- Yes, exactly. Exactly.

Right, right, right.

- [Dorothy] Oh. Did they

decide to bring me in already?

- Well, not yet, but I get the impression

they'll be calling you very soon.

- Oh, okay.

[ominous music]

Well, yeah. By all means, sugar.

What have you found out?

- Well, I reached out to

several of my friends at

the hospital where Sara's mother

Geraldine was being kept at

as well as a friend of mine

that I have in the police force

that was involved during

her death investigation.

Interesting.

Following Geraldine's

death, her sister Hannah

took possession of all

her material things,

including, ready for this?

The grandfather clock she owned

that Sara says looks very much

like the one she had purchased.

- [Dorothy] Well, isn't

that an interesting

little tidbit of information?

So, tell me then, what ended

up happening with that clock?

- Well, it's funny you should ask.

- [Dorothy] I'm not

feeling anything "funny"

about this situation, Brucey.

- No, no. You're absolutely right.

It turns out there was an

incident at that ranch house

that Hannah and her family lived at.

Listen to this.

The police responded,

but I couldn't find out

what exactly had happened.

But at the end, Hannah was taken

away and institutionalized.

- [Dorothy] Mercy!

- Indeed. She is basically

catatonic, to this very day.

And her home was ultimately inventoried

during the investigation.

- [Dorothy] [sighs] Well, was

the clock ever accounted for?

- As a matter of fact, it was not.

- [Dorothy] No? Okay, see,

now, that's very interesting.

- You're not thinking it could

be the same clock, do you?

- [Dorothy] I never rule

anything out, you know?

No matter how unlikely it might be.

- I know. Trust me,

that's all I have so far.

- [Dorothy] Mm-hm.

Yeah, and it sure is

painting a grim picture.

- I know. Just trust me, that's

all I have so far, though.

- [Dorothy] Please be a dear

and keep me posted on what happens?

- You know I will. Have a

nice evening, my friend.

- All right, nighty night.

- You too.

Goodnight.

that clock, if I have to.

- Mike, please!

[clock creaks]

[heavy knocks on door]

[knocks on door]

[muffled thunder claps]

What the f*ck?

- Hey, neighbor.

[ominous music]

- Vinny, you, uh...

You know what time it is?

- Yeah, man, uh...

Look, I'm sorry to bother you so late,

but you can really do me a solid here.

I left my cell phone in the dining room,

last time we had a little soiree?

- Oh, what? [sighs]

- My cell phone.

Yeah, I can't seem to find it anywhere,

and I think I might have left it inside.

- So you're just now realizing

that you lost your cell phone

and you're coming over at one

in the morning to pick it up?

- Mm-hm. Yeah, yeah, I,

I really need that phone.

You think I might be able to, uh, come in,

and take a look around?

- No.

- Think I know where I put it.

- No, you can't come in. It's

one o'clock in the morning,

- Mike.

- Yeah.

- Just let me in. It'll

only take a second.

- Come back tomorrow, man. Okay?

Come back tomorrow.

- Mike, I just...

[door thuds]

[flames crackling]

I really need to get inside, man!

[Mike grunts]

Just let me in!

[Vinny giggles]

[Mike grunts]

[Sara pants]

- What the...

What the-

- [Meg] We're coming to

get you, Mikey! [cackles]

- Dorothy, I want you

to meet Mike and Sara.

- Hello!

Oh, no, no, no. We don't shake hands.

I'm a hugger!

- Oh.

[Dorothy sighs]

- So, I understand there's a

child in the house as well?

- Uh, yeah. I mean, our

daughter Isabel, but-

- Okay, how has she been doing

with everything that's

going on around here?

- Well, actually, she's been

staying at her friend's house

a lot more lately.

- I see, I see.

[gasps] And this is the clock!

Well...

And where did you say

you got it from again?

- I'll brief you, Dorothy.

It was purchased at a church estate sale.

Not too far from here,

as a matter of fact.

I called the church,

spoke to a Father Brown,

who sold it to them.

He briefed me that the clock

was brought in by a Father Baines.

It's been there for several

years, and interesting enough,

Father Baines died, after

he delivered the clock.

- That same night?

- Mm-hm.

- Well, that's interestin'.

[sighs] Well, let's get down

to the brass tacks, shall we?

Brucey here has been

filling me in a little

on what's been going on around here.

Sounds like a classic hauntin'.

So, what I wanna do is just

kind of get the lay of the land

a little and feel what's goin' on.

Maybe contact the spirit world.

Sound good?

- Yeah.

- All right, well let's get to it,

'cause we could be here all night.

[Bruce clears his throat]

- Dorothy' one of the finest

mediums in the country.

She's had these occurrences

many times before.

A bit eccentric, but-

- I heard that!

- Okay.

[lighter hisses]

- Oh.

Can never be too careful.

[sighs] All right.

We're here today to shine a light

on whatever has been

going on in this house.

We're here to determine the cause

of the activity in this house.

[Dorothy sighs]

Now, to do that, I'm gonna

contact my spirit guide Minerva.

She's going to help guide us

and she's gonna help us to

understand what's going on

and hopefully answer some questions

that y'all have here today, okay?

- Now, once I get in touch with her,

she will communicate through me,

and Bruce here, he'll talk to her, okay?

Now, I wanna warn ya,

what we see

may be frightenin',

moreso than your comprehension.

But I want you to remember

we're in this together.

We're gonna find out

what's going on, together,

and we will vanquish it, together.

Okay?

Now, I need you to open up your minds.

I need to pull all of your energy

so I can contact the spirit world.

Okay?

[Dorothy sighs]

Minerva.

Minerva?

We need you, Minerva.

[eerie orchestral music]

This is Minerva.

- Minerva.

Roman Goddess of Wisdom.

We need your help. Can you please help us?

- I'd say you need my help.

- Yes.

We do.

- I can feel it's present.

- Its presence? What presence?

- The clock.

I can feel it.

Yes. Yes, the clock is here.

[clock chimes]

[eerie music continues]

- [Minerva] She performed

the first blood ritual,

and now the gate is open.

- Who is she, Minerva? We

don't understand, help us.

- She is the mother.

The keeper of the gate.

She set the plan in motion,

and now the gate is open.

With every chime, it calls to them.

She will return to open the gate.

- There, you said it again.

What is the gate, Minerva?

- The clock was constructed

to be a gateway to hell.

- Are you telling me the

clock is a gateway to hell

and whenever it chimes, it

summons and demons here?

- Yes.

They are coming.

They hear the chimes

calling and they are coming.

Some of them have passed through already.

[thunder claps]

- Who is Mother? Who is

coming to open the gate?

[flames crackling]

- She means me.

[Sara gasps]

[energy rumbling]

- Mom?

[ominous orchestral music]

- Hello, Baby.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- Stay back!

- Huh.

[flames hissing]

[Mike grunts]

[Vinny laughing]

- Mike!

- No, Mom! No, no, no!

- Where do you think you're goin', b*tch?

[Sara gasps]

- Sara!

[Vinny laughs]

[Sara yelping]

Sara!

[Vinny laughing]

[dramatic music continues]

[flames crackling]

[Sara panting]

[Sara panting]

- Time for me to finish

what I've started, Sara.

I'm so glad my old clock

made its way home to you.

[Sara panting]

- No, that's impossible.

- It's destiny!

After you had them send me away.

- No, you tried to k*ll yourself! [pants]

They were trying to help you!

- My own sister took my clock.

Once she learned the true nature,

she tried to stop the inevitable.

- Your sister!

She, she used the clock.

She has opened a gateway to hell!

Your sister has used the

clock to open a gateway!

And with every chime, with every chime,

it is bringing the damned here!

- There's no reason

to worry about your

sins taking you to hell.

Hell's coming to you. [giggles]

- Someone's gotta keep watch for them!

He'll come again. He'll try.

He'll try to pass through

and through the clock!

And if he does, he will

lead them right to the gate.

He, he will lead them to the gate.

- To the gate.

- Oh, my...

- For now he comes. [chuckles]

- [Sister] They've gotta

get the clock to the church!

I'll go, I'll go!

- Wait, you stay here! I'll go!

[intense eerie music]

He's coming!

[Geraldine laughs]

- But the die has already been cast.

It was only a matter of time

before the clock found its way to you.

My daughter, my flesh.

What I've begun,

you will now complete!

For the blood of the mother

is upon the gate's face to unlock it.

[Vinny laughs]

With the blood of the daughter...

[Mike grunts]

[Vinny laughs]

[Vinny giggles]

We'll open it wide!

- Complete the blood ritual.

[Vinny giggles]

[Mike grunts]

[Vinny giggles]

[clock chimes]

The judgment day is upon us!

[dramatic orchestral music]

- Leave her alone!

[flames crackling]

You're not my grandmother.

- No.

Your grandmother doesn't

live here anymore.

You won't be needing that.

[book thuds]

Been a long time since

I've seen you, Isabel.

You were very young.

You probably don't even remember.

- I remember!

I remember how my grandmother

would hold me in her arms

and tell me how much she loved me.

How she would read stories to me,

and she would always protect me.

- Well, that was then, before me.

Now, it's only fitting

to allow you to help

release the tortured souls.

- [Isabel] I know you're still in there.

- Grandmother's gone!

There is only me!

- You're a liar!

I know she's still in there!

- There is no resisting!

- I know she's still in there.

- In the end, it is God's will!

[flames crackling]

[dark music continues]

- Grandma.

[flames crackling]

Fight for me!

Fight for me!

[intense eerie music]

Fight for me!

[intense eerie music continues]

- [Demon] Open

the gate.

The blood

of the daughter

will free us.

Finish the ritual.

[intense eerie music continues]

Finish the ritual.

[intense eerie music continues]

[Isabel pants]

[suspenseful music]

- Fight for me!

[Sara gasps]

[energy rumbling]

[Sara screams]

[somber piano music]

[Isabel and Sara sobbing]

[somber music continues]

- [Sara] Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you okay? Are you okay?

[Sara pants]

[somber piano music continues]

Mom...

No.

[Sara pants]

Don't go. [sobs]

[clock door slams]

[clock ringing]

[mechanical screeching]

[cogs clicking and scraping]

[clock squeaking and creaking]

[gentle orchestral music]

[Isabel pants]

- Isabel.

It was about you. It was always about you.

She loved you so very, very much.

It was both the love you

had for her that saved her.

I have some people coming

to take the clock away

to hollow ground.

It will be okay, from now on.

- [screams] My finger!

What happened to my finger?

- Oh, my god, Meg!

- No!

- [Sara] Let me get you a towel!

- No!

- Oh, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

[ominous music]

[Meg whimpering]

- So, how'd we do?

We all good?

[Mike chuckles]

- Yeah.

[ominous music]

[distant church bells tolling]

- This house is clean.

[moody rock music]

I watch the burning

sun break the horizon

And paint the sky gold

Blessed be her fury, power and control

Show me through electric frequencies

I am your friend, I am your savior

I am everything you need

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

I'm not a servant

Just a wicked sinner,

appear with your name

So hide this blackened cloud and look

The sun is setting on my head

I will betray

I'll stick the gospel

through my sacred

Dead way

Can't breathe

Can't speak

Severed tongue

Broken teeth

On the bleeding land above

The pentagram, it's all a lucid dream
