You don't want to get overheated.
I'm not.

Hey, there, busy Bee. (BOTH CHUCKLE)
Sam, just wondering if you got that order of mine ready yet.
I got customers coming into my store every day
asking about your dolls.
You can send your son over tomorrow, Vic.
They're ready.

I guess prayers do get answered, don't they?

Okay, pick a number.
Linda?

Okay.
"You will soon make new friends."
Do mine now.
What's wrong?
I just wish you and me were going to a new home
instead of a new orphanage.
Sweet Sue does, too.
(SIGHS)
It'd be nice to have a home.
Yeah, but only if you're there.
I don't wanna go anywhere you're not.
So, let's swear.
If someone wants one of us, they get both of us.
Okay. I swear.
Good.
Me, too.
You know what I like most about Sweet Sue?
What?
She looks just like you.
So, how much further is it, Father?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
you're worse than the children, Sister.
(SCOFFS)
The Mullins agreeing to take us in was a gift from God.
Yeah.
What kind of person isn't excited about getting a gift?
I should mention, don't be alarmed
if you don't see much of Mrs. Mullins at first.
She, uh, has a condition, you see.
She was in an accident years ago.
You girls would do well to help her if need be.
(GIRLS MUTTERING)
LINDA: It's big.
CHARLOTTE: Janice,
you need help?
No, thanks. I can manage.
Sister.
She's one of the unfortunate ones
with that polio outbreak,
but she's getting stronger every day.
She won't be a burden. I promise you.
Mmm-hmm.
Mr. Mullins, why don't you show the girls around?
I can unload their belongings.
I'll start inside.
Thank you, Father.
Whoa! This is big as a castle.
Which obviously makes us the princesses.
If this is our new orphanage,
I think I'm just fine with never being adopted.
There's a TV.
The television no longer works.
The radio, however, does.
This goes on forever.
You're right. We're gonna need a map to find our way around.
Girls, this way.
As you can see, the dining room
is more than adequate to accommodate all of us.
CAROL: Ah! NANCY: Look in here.
CHARLOTTE: Let's stay together.
Mrs. Mullins and I stay in here.
Feel free to use the rest of the downstairs as you see fit.

is there some way Janice and I could maybe stay down here?
Me, too.
I'll be fine.

But that doesn't mean you're...
You know how Father Massey is. We don't wanna get in the way.
Fine. She said "okay"!
But look out for one another!

Why don't you go find Janice? See what she's up to.
Why?
So you can talk about boys?

No.
I wanna play a game.

You go hide, and we'll come look for you.
Okay.
(CHUCKLING SOFTLY)
So, are we gonna look for her?
Maybe.
(SNEEZES)
Bless you.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
I asked Mr. Mullins
if we could use this room for our new classroom
and he graciously agreed.
Would you like to help?
What's wrong?
I have a sin to confess.
(SIGHS)
Forgive me, Sister Charlotte, for I have sinned.
It's been...
At least two weeks.
At least two weeks since my last confession.
There's this room upstairs
that we're not supposed to go into.
But you did anyway.
How'd you know?
Because otherwise, why would you be telling me about it?
Well, the door was already open.
I don't know how,
because Mr. Mullins always keeps it locked.
When I went inside, there was this little doll
and it was really strange in there.
Janice.
Weird things started to happen.
Janice, listen to yourself.
What do I always say?
A sin is a sin, no matter the context.
More importantly,
you absolutely cannot disobey the Mullins.
We only just got here
and they're doing a very generous thing
by allowing us to stay with them.
If they decide to no longer have us here,
we'll all be split up.
So, next time you're thinking of breaking a rule,
think of how that could affect the other girls, first.
Do you understand me?
Yes. I'm sorry, Sister. I wasn't thinking.
It's okay, love.
For your penance, pray one Hail Mary
and unpack three of these boxes.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
What are you guys doing?

(SIGHS)
That was taken in Romania at a convent of cloister nuns.
They have little contact with the outside world
but I became very close to these three.
That's Sister Maria, that's Sister Anna,
and that's Sister Lucia.
Who's this?
I don't know. I don't think I even met her.
Is there anything else you need?
No, thank you.
Good night.
Ooh, I like him. (ALL CHUCKLE)
Which one would you marry?
Oh, I don't know.
I guess I'll just have to date all of them to find out.

NANCY: Night time is when Mrs. Mullins gets her powers.
That's why she's in bed all day, but at night
she can go wherever she wants.
(WHISPERS) She needs to, so she can feed.
And if you look directly at her, you'll die.
And to get you to look,
she'll keep saying your name over and over
till you can't stand it.

Mrs. Mullins... She was here.

She was standing right over there.
Who?
Your wife, apparently.
They said she was just in here.
Oh, that's impossible.
My wife hasn't been able to walk for years.

We just freaked ourselves out last night. You know that.

Mrs. Mullins?
ESTHER: Sister Charlotte,
could I trouble you for a glass of water?
Of course.
ESTHER: All of you are more than welcome
to stay as long as you need.
It's good to hear some life again.
We've been cooped up here so long,
I'd forgotten what that sounded like.
CHARLOTTE: What a lovely picture.
She was taken from us
at an early age, unfortunately.
If you could turn away for a moment, Sister?
Yes, of course.
I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter.
But we find comfort in knowing she waits for you in Heaven.
I wish that were true.

Janice is feeling a little down right now,
so we need to do what we can to support her.
Time, I think, is all she needs.
She'll walk again though, right?
We'll have to see.
You need sleep.
That's gonna help you with the healing.
I can't stay here, Sister Charlotte.
We can't stay here.
We need to leave.
Leave?
And go where?
There isn't anywhere else for us to go.
I didn't fall down those stairs.
Something threw me.
What do you mean?
You always say that
even though we can't see God, we can...
We can feel his presence.
Well, in this house,
I feel a different kind of presence.
What kind?
An evil one.
It's coming after me. Coming after my soul.
Your soul?
Because I'm the weakest.
No, darling.
Listen, the devil preys on those weak in faith,
not weak of flesh or bone.
You are as strong as any of us, Janice.
Stronger.
ESTHER: You're quiet, Samuel.
I think it was a mistake
to bring the girls here.
Why?
(SIGHS) The girl...
The girl that fell.
Maybe she didn't fall.
Maybe...
It was an accident.
That's all it was.
Accidents happen.
It's been quiet for 12 years.
You should try embracing the presence of the girls
instead of frightening them away.
LINDA: You'll be better soon.
I don't think so.
Not this time.
But you have to.
Pretty soon, we'll find a new home.
(SCOFFS)
No one's gonna want me now. I'd just be a burden.
But you swore we'd stick together.
I take it back.
Maybe I won't get adopted.
(SIGHS)
You will.
You know why?
Because you're special.
You're gonna get adopted by a nice family somewhere
and they're gonna spoil you so much.
You're gonna have so many dolls that
you won't even be able to name all of them.
Sure, I can.
Janice one. (LAUGHS)
Janice two, Janice three.
CHARLOTTE: Linda?
Time for bed.
I wish you'd come upstairs.
I don't wanna sleep alone.

Take Becca.
This way...
I'll always be with you.
Then you should have Sweet Sue.
Thank you. (CHUCKLES)
Remember, before all of this,
when we used to sneak around the orphanage at night?
And eat all the chocolate in the pantry?
Father Massey was convinced that we had mice.

A few nights ago, she wanted to leave.
Why'd she wanna leave?

She died a long time ago.
So, she's seeing ghosts?

has been dead for a very, very long time.
I know, but, you see,
Janice went into her bedroom.
She what?
She knows she wasn't supposed to,

we prayed and promised our devotion
to whatever power would allow us

It started small, the contact.

Only in fleeting glimpses, but it was enough.
Our beloved Bee,

They saved my soul,
but the evil was still attached to that doll.
So we locked it away
where it could be surrounded by the word of God.
It was quiet for all these years.
I thought the evil was contained.
We thought helping the girls could be our penance.
But we ended up giving it just what it wanted.

Sister Charlotte?

You know what I like most about Sweet Sue?
She looks just like you.
Oh, my...

Linda? (GASPS)
Where are you, Linda?
Linda?
(GASPS)
Linda?
Come out and play.
Found you!
(SCREAMS)
You swore that if I found a home, you'd come, too.
You know what they say about breaking a swear.
You go straight to hell.
CHARLOTTE: Janice!
Forgive me.
(SCREAMS) No!
Let me out!

Anything?
I'm afraid not.
Still no sign of the girl.
But at her age,
how far could she have gone?
Don't worry.
We'll find her.
The house is blessed.
Whatever evil was here is no longer.
But...
The doll.
It was a conduit for the evil.
That evil has moved on.
Now the doll is just a doll.
So, which one of you gets this?
How are you holding up?
I'm okay.
You know, that wasn't Janice back there. That was
something else.
I know.
Hi, there.
Welcome. Let's go right inside, shall we?
Sure.
She mostly keeps to herself and can be a bit quiet,
but she's a lovely girl.
She's just been through a lot.
I think you will love her.
Hello. There's someone here to see you, sweetie.
I wanna introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Higgins.
MR. HIGGINS: And you must be...
Annabelle.
MRS. HIGGINS: Annabelle?
What a lovely name.
We brought you a present.
I hope you like dolls.
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
(WOOD CREAKING)
Did you hear that? Yeah.
What is it?
You stay here.
No, no, no! No, wait!
It's all right. It's okay. It's all right, sweetheart.
I'm just gonna take a quick look. Call the police.
(CHOKING) (GASPING)
MRS. HIGGINS: Annabelle!
Hi, Mom.
