In 2010, picking up right after the first film, the police question Renai about Elise's death. The family moves in with Lorraine, and the haunting continues there, as the possessed Josh slowly falls apart and turns violent. Specs and Tucker work with Carl, Elise's old partner, who reaches Elise's spirit. They trace the old woman to the Crane family. She is Parker Crane, a hospital patient abused by his mother into dressing as a woman and murdering fifteen women as the Bride in Black.
