The man grabs the implant and shoves it deep into Herman's throat, presumably killing him.īack in the frame story, Ayesha calls Larry into the room, where they discuss the tapes' legitimacy. The ghosts of Clarissa and her uncle appear in the bathroom as Herman tries to escape it, but he unwittingly runs directly into the ghosts of the man and young girl, with the former throttling him. Running back through the house in an attempt to escape the ghosts, Herman once again locks himself in the bathroom and uses a straight razor to cut out the implant. Despite Herman's best efforts to save her, Clarissa drowns. He finds the young girl in his bed and flees, before witnessing Clarissa being dragged into the pool by an unseen entity. Sometime later, Herman awakens and sees Clarissa sleeping on the couch. Clarissa then initiates sex with Herman to divert his attention away from the ghosts. Herman alerts her to his presence, but Clarissa says she already knows he is there and that he is her uncle, who according to her "wasn't a nice person". As Clarissa claims that the ghosts will get stronger and more dangerous the longer one pays attention to them, an overweight underwear-clad man appears behind her. Herman suggests removing the implant to make the ghosts go away, but Clarissa says that doing so will only keep Herman from seeing the ghosts.
Giving her name as Clarissa, she explains that she was born deaf and had a cochlear implant installed in her ear, giving her the ability to hear new frequencies, including ghosts of dead people. The next day, the red-haired girl from the hospital appears at his door and requests to be let in, as she is experiencing a similar situation.
Returning to the bathroom, Herman is disturbed by repeated banging on the door and ends up sleeping in the bathtub overnight.
After phoning his doctor to complain about what happened, Herman emerges from the bathroom and encounters the man again, this time with a young girl who also appears to be dead. Herman then finds himself face to face with a bleeding man who appears to be dead, causing him to flee to the bathroom. Later, Herman sees what appears to be a figure lying beneath the sheets of his bed, but when he pulls back the sheets, the bed is empty. He returns from the kitchen to find his game controller far from where he originally left it, followed by the tea kettle crashing to the ground suddenly. Returning home, Herman passes time by playing video games and eventually gets up for tea. As he leaves the clinic, Herman notices a young red-haired woman staring at him intently. The doctor informs Herman that he may experience some "glitches" as the implant is still in its experimental stage. In a doctor's office, Herman Middleton is fitted with an ocular implant that has replaced Herman's right eye after it was damaged in a car accident.
