Thank you so much for agreeing to help us.
(WATER RUNNING) Ma? Ma, did you have a chance to pick up that Oh.
(CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
Hi, I'm Harold.
This is Harold.
Yeah, I got that.
(CHUCKLES) Your mother-in-law invited me here to help you with your problem.
She believes that the spirit of your husband has been corrupted and is trying to hurt you.
(LAUGHS) Are-Are you kidding me? Are you seriously taking advantage of an old woman? An old grieving You young people think you know everything, but you know nothing.
Jin's spirit is not at rest and he's hurting you.
Look at those bruises.
Jin's dead, ma.
He's dead and there's no such thing as ghosts, much less abusive ones.
Let me ask one question, and I promise, after that, I will leave if you want me to.
Okay? Have you felt safe since your husband passed away? (SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC) Ghosts aren't people.
They're just unresolved emotions of people.
Pain, rage, so strong and concentrated that they linger.
None of us are ever truly just one thing, not in life and not in death.
He's here.
(SLOW SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I can feel Jin's spirit close by.
- (GLASS BREAKING) - Hey no! - What are you - No, you're gonna make him angry.
Different ghosts require different things and I think this one wants us to acknowledge the pain that's here.
Who are you talking to? Me, I'm right here.
Why can't they see me? Angela, how did your son die? What, I Jin and I, we never had a son.
But then who are you? (LOUD DRAMATIC MUSIC) (GASPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (RATTLING) (BREAKING GLASS) (GASPING) Run! (SHRIEKING) (RATTLING DOOR) ANGELA: The door won't open! Run!

He's your husband.
You heard what Harold said.
Apologize for what? - What did I do? - I don't know! Why is he so angry? What did you do? I didn't do anything, nothing! I loved you! You know I did! But no, you can hit me your entire life and everyone can look the other way, your family, your friends, but you don't get to do it after you're gone.
You don't! I'd rather die.
- (PANICKY BREATHING) - (DOOR CREAKING) - (SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC) - (GRUNTING) - (SCREAMING) - (SMACKING) (SLOW EERIE MUSIC) (PANICKING) (SCREAMING) (THUMPS) (CHOKING) OLDER WOMAN: Jin, please son, stop, stop.
(LABORED BREATHING) (COUGHING) Angela, are you okay? (SLOW SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I hate you! (DOOR SLAMS) (LABORED BREATHING) I can hurt you.
- (RUMBLING) - (SHRIEKING) - (CRASHING) - (SCREAMING) Angela, get up please, get up! - (CRASHING) - (LABORED BREATHING) He's gonna find us.
I don't know what to do.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I never said anything.
All these years, I raised a monster.
Jin wasn't always, when he wasn't drinking, he was good.
Sh, sh, don't talk.
(CRYING) I miss him.
I know I sound weak, but I I am the weak one.
I should have stopped him.
I should have said something.
You didn't want to think badly of him, he's your son.
So? You're my daughter, my family.
What? And I left you to face him alone.
(SLOW SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (CREAKING DOOR) (SLOW SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Jin, please don't hurt her anymore.
ANGELA: Ma.
If you need to hurt anyone, hurt me.
Stop, ma.
I should have protected you.
You were just a little boy.
He was your father.
He hurt me too.
But what kind of a mother does not protect her child? I was so ashamed.
(CRYING) I wouldn't accept the man you became, just like your father.
That's why I carry this so I can remind myself of my little boy I loved so much before all of this fear and this pain.
If all the ways I failed you are still here, then maybe all the ways I love you are still here too.
This stops here.
Take me if you have to take anyone, but Angela and I will not carry your burden anymore.
(LIGHTS ZAPPING) Jin.
ANGELA: Mom.
What's happening? I don't know.
We need to go.
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC) ANGELA: Something's changed.
Can you feel it? OLDER WOMAN: I think.
I hope Jin has moved on.
Maybe it's time for us to move on too.
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC) He was so proud of this house.
It's just a house.
We'll find another.
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC) JIN: Come back! Don't leave me here!
