Eternal regenerated.

Hey, babe.

Can I get you anything?

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

I'm really sorry about your mother,
Darius.

Thanks.

I got a call from an executor today
about my mom's will.

He wants me to stop by tomorrow at 9 a
.m.

Well, what about her will?

Yeah.

She left a will for me, I guess.

And you haven't spoke to her in how
long?

Seven years.

It's been seven years.

And what do you think she'll disclose in
there?

I have no idea.

And for some reason, scared.

I, Abigail Proctor, hereby leave the
Proctor home to my one and only son,

Proctor.

Under no circumstances may he make any
modifications to the home.

What do you mean, no modifications? I
mean, we can't even make changes when we

move in?

That is what I just said.

Also, there will be no funeral
arrangements as this was against her

Wait.

Wait, what?

Well, how am I supposed to pay my
respects?

I mean, what's going to happen to her
body?

Honestly, you're just not going to
answer that either?

All right.

Cool. Well, I can't allow that to
happen.

No burial.

Now, what makes you think you can tell
me what to do with my mother's body?

That's my mom.

There is no need to get emotional.

I'm not getting emotional, man.

Listen, I'm just upset because you're
not making any damn sense.

Cool.

I'm out, man.

Mr. Proctor.

Your papers.

We don't know anything about Florida
Darius. I mean, why move there?

I don't know, man.

I'm tired of Chicago.

I mean, aren't you?

We've been here our entire lives.

Let the taxes suck.

It'd be cold as hell.

We finally have an opportunity to own
our own home.

A home that we can't make any changes
to, Darius.

I mean, why don't we just sell your
mother's house and use the money to

the home we currently live in? We don't
have to relocate and move there.

Why not?

It just seems morbid, Darius.

She died there.

Mysteriously, I might add.

I just... I don't understand why we
would move when we have everything we

right here.

Well, I feel like we do.

And I also... What?

What? You feel like what?

I just feel like this might just be
another way for you to gain your

approval.

My mother is no longer alive, Amanda.

I know that, Darius.

But the burden never goes away. What
burden?

The burden of being rejected by a loved
one.

The burden of feeling inadequate and not
good enough your whole life.

Dr. Brunville says the first act of
moving forward is acceptance.

Accepting ourselves as we are.

Is that why you decided to stop taking
your meds?

Because you're accepting yourself as you
are.

You can't use that little piece of
information as an excuse to stop taking

meds.

I'm doing much better now.

I agree.

I agree. However, in order to stay that
way, you must keep taking your meds.

Depression and anxiety don't just go
away on its own, Amanda.

This is why we agreed for you to see Dr.
Renthal in the first place. Wait a

minute.

How did this conversation all of a
sudden become about me?

And besides, I'm not the only person
here with a history of personal trauma.

I understand your concerns about my
history with my mother, okay?

I hear you.

But I just think that given the current
state of our relationship, which has

deteriorated significantly, I might add,
we'll be better off with a fresh

start in a new place.

Our relationship has deteriorated
because you cheated, Darius.

You took everything that was sacred in
our vows as a joke. What

did you want me to do,

Amanda?

Huh?

I mean, you didn't sleep with me for a
year.

A year.

Every time I will try to touch you or
when we get close to you, pull away from

it.

We're not even supposed to be talking
about this. We agreed on that in

counseling.

How is moving into your mother's house
going to bring us closer?

How is it a fresh start?

I just feel like the pain and the
memories of your childhood are just

resurface.

Maybe.

Well, maybe you'll give me an
opportunity to find closure.

I hope you're right, Darius.

Really.

I do.

I'd be hungry.

Excuse me.

Florida? But there you're moving to
Florida for, Darren.

All that hot weather. I mean, you black
enough as it is.

Yeah, man, my, um, my mom's passed, bro.

Word.

Hey, man, I'm sorry to hear that.

Thanks, bro.

How you feel about it? I mean, to be
honest, you two really weren't that

That's the thing, man. I really don't
know how to feel, you know? Oh, I know

to feel, all right.

Man, your mom was mean as hell.

She used to whoop your ass on principle.

Yeah.

Yeah, she was a trip.

Oh, how long has it been since your last
two spoke?

Seven years, man.

Seven years.

That's why I was so surprised when she
left me the house.

The house?

For real?

Yeah, man.

I think we're going to move in.

But why move into it?

I mean, can't you just tell it or
something?

Because last time you were there, you
said that she had the house looking

as hell, looking like some slave
quarters from the 1800s.

I don't know, man.

I mean, Amanda and I, we've been having
problems lately, and it's... I

don't know. I feel like we could use a
fresh start in a new setting.

But... Moving her into some old -ass
house would probably make it worse,

you think? I mean, besides, man, look, I
hear Florida got all them sex cults and

shit.

You silly, man.

Watching all that damn ghost chases on
Discovery Plus.

Hey, man, listen, you know that's my
shit, right?

Oh, man.

Gonna miss you, man.

So, when you leaving?

In a few days.

Few days?

Damn.

Man, why didn't you call me so we could
have got together or something, man?

All right.

I just needed some time to myself.

I mean, I really didn't know if we was
going to make the move, but I think it's

the right choice now.

Listen, man, you take care, all right?

Listen, I don't want to hear on the news
where they done sacrificed your black

ass in some sex ritual, all right?

Says the dude with the last name Dix.

Hey, hey, hey, don't talk about my name.

Listen, my name has family history from
Scotland.

Sid, you not Scottish.

Listen, you just mad because you don't
have your own family crest.

No, no, listen, listen.

All I'm saying is it might be time for
you to change your name from Sid Dicks

Sid Mufambo or some shit like that so
you don't sound like an out -of -work

star. Oh, man, you crazy as hell, man.

But you my dog.

Hey, look, man, I got customers coming
in. I'll get back with you. Just hit me

up when you get there. Cool, cool.

All right, later, man.

Porn star.

Are you okay?

I'm just feeling really anxious right
now, babe.

Look, I know with my mom's death and
this move,

everything we have going on, I know it
can be stressful.

But it's going to be all right.

You promise?

I promise.

You ready?

As ready as I'll ever be.

Hey, so I talked to the movers, and they
should be a few days behind us, so we

have to make do with whatever's in the
house.

All right.

Come on. It's going to be fine.

Go.

This is it.

Wow, it's better than I expected.

I mean, I'm surprised.

This was in complete shambles last time
I was here.

Yeah, maybe it was that one over there.

Yeah, maybe.

Babe.

Honey.

It's fine.

It'll be okay.

We're going to get situated.

We'll adjust.

You don't have to say that.

I understand how you feel.

I do.

How about this?

How about we just give it a chance and
if it doesn't work out, we'll move back.

Cool?

Of course it'll work out, babe.

Check it out Wow

Okay

I am honestly shocked.

Well,

the furniture is interesting, but I like
it.

So that smaller house in the property is
ours too?

Yeah, it's more of like a storage area
than anything else.

Terrius, this is great.

All this land is ours.

Yeah, I know, right?

Crazy.

crazy hey

Sorry. Did you hear that?

Hear what?

The thumping noise.

Thumping noise? I didn't hear anything.

I know what I heard.

It was pretty clear, Darius.

Babe, look, this house is like 50 to 60
years old. Minimal.

Okay? Okay. It's probably just settling.
I mean, old houses tend to do that.

Okay? Okay.

Come on.

You're right. All right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

So, how long did she live here alone?

I don't know. At least 12 years, at
least.

12 years? And you never checked on her?

I tried on numerous occasions.

She just didn't want me here.

Look, she barely even answered my phone
calls. And when she did, it was like a

two -minute conversation at best because
he always had guests over or she was on

her way out the door to one of her
secret retreats.

Retreats? What?

Yeah, look, I don't feel like talking
about this, all right?

Okay, let's just get settled. So, I
don't know, it's getting late and I just

want to go to bed.

Are you kidding me?

There is no bedroom furniture here,
Daria.

What exactly do you plan on sleeping on?

Our furniture is not going to be here
for days.

Great.

Morning.

Morning.

How'd you sleep?

I didn't really.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Oh, um, this water is horrible, by the
way. It smells like rotten eggs.

Really? I thought it was coming from the
room reflection.

Yeah? Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe we should just...

Run the things for like 20 minutes or
something like it. Can you do that

Yeah. With all the things?

Yeah. All right. Want to make you some
breakfast?

Well, I would love some, but we

don't have any groceries.

That's right.

Damn it.

I mean, who moves into a house with no
furniture or groceries?

Oh, apparently we do.

All right.

I'll find us a grocery store and I'll
make us a nice dinner. Celebrate your

birthday at work. Yeah.

That's right.

My birthday.

I mean, the office is only like 20
minutes away, so the commute's not that

Shouldn't be.

And then Florida.

Florida's great territory.

There's a lot of old folk and a lot of
rich people, which will help me land

new accounts, right? Yeah.

By the way, what helped us take that
trip to Iceland that I've been promised?

I don't need to go to Iceland.

What do you mean? I thought you loved
Iceland.

I do.

I just... Well, you've been promising
that for a few years now, so I... Well,

why you gotta bring that up?

I didn't.

You did. I was just saying, don't worry
about it.

Wait a minute.

Amanda.

Amanda. Amanda.

I mean, so what? You think I'm not going
to do it or something?

I did not even say that, Darius. You're
literally adding words to my mouth.

You know what? You're right.

You're right.

I don't know.

I haven't had a first day in years. And
maybe I'm nervous or I'm anxious.

I'm stressed out. I don't know.

We don't even have groceries.

In the house. We don't have furniture.

No, no, no, no, listen, listen, listen.

I'm sorry.

You're going through so much right now,
and I need to be more receptive to that.

And look, you're one of the top
insurance brokers in the entire company.

You're really, really great at what you
do.

I appreciate that.

Yeah, of course.

So, listen, when I go to the grocery
store, I'll call you when I get back,

I'll go through your mother's things,
and you can let me know what you want to

keep. and what you want to get rid of.
Okay. Okay? Hey, are you sure you're

going to be okay here by yourself?

Yeah, I mean, there's plenty to do
around here. All right.

Listen, make sure you get out and meet
the neighbors.

All right?

Make some friends, like we discussed.
Okay.

Okay? Mm -hmm. And take your meds.

Please. Okay.

Promise?

I promise.

Promise. I promise.

All right.

Talk to you later.

Okay.

You'll do great.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

All right.

Let's get started.

Hi, can I help you?

Hi, I'm Darius Proctor. I just
transferred from the Chicago office.

Mr. Proctor, we've been expecting you.
How are you liking Florida so far?

It's nice.

It's nice. I mean, it's definitely a lot
warmer than Chicago.

Yeah, but the Chicago food, all the hot
dogs, the hamburgers, the pizza, it's so

good. Now you get me all hungry. That
makes the two of us.

Well, I'm going to let them know you're
here, so if you can just please take a

seat in the waiting area, and so I'll be
right with you and take you to your

desk. Awesome. Thank you.

They treat you like shit here.

Excuse me?

Shit. That's what they treat you like
here.

I don't... Wait, really?

I'm kidding.

Actually, I'm not.

Have you ever watched horror movies,
like about cults?

Well, that's what it's like here. A
cult.

They'll be all friendly, warm up to you,
all while contemplating how to

sacrifice you to their god.

Don't listen to Raven.

This isn't a method acting club.

Method? Yeah, that's when they, like,
stay in character the entire time,

Oh. He's been rehearsing this one on
everybody in this past week. Oh, okay,

okay. Um, for a second there, I was
like, well, what the hell?

Yeah. I'm Stephanie.

Terrius. Nice to meet you.

I'll be getting you logged in our
systems today, so follow me.

Okay. Good luck, Terrius.

Thank you. It's nice to meet you.

So, the owner, Mr. Scott, will be in
tomorrow's meeting.

Okay, that sounds good.

What made you move from Chicago here to
Florida?

Um, family.

You know, it's time for a change.

Change is good.

Sometimes it can happen when you least
expect it.

They symbolize rebirth.

Pardon? Your lotus.

Oh. Ancient cultures believed that
lotuses symbolized self -regeneration

rebirth, even the ability to resurrect
the deceased.

All in all, their characteristics are
the perfect analogy for the human

condition.

Even when its roots are in the dirtiest
waters or growing deep in the mud far

away from the sun, sooner or later, the
lotus reaches the light.

becoming the most beautiful flower ever.

Oh, well, they're very beautiful.

I have some myself.

Oh, thank you.

Sorry, I thought I'd stop by and
introduce myself. I'm Tabitha, and you

Oh, hi.

I'm Amanda.

Nice to meet you, Amanda.

I was a friend of Abigail.

You knew Darius' mom?

Yes.

She and I were very close.

Would you like to come in?

I wouldn't want to bother you.

Oh, no, it's fine. I'm actually here
alone, so... Yeah.

Okay.

So how are you liking it so far?

To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming.

Oh, how so?

Well, our furniture still hasn't
arrived, and we still have so many of

things to go through to fight on.

That can be a very difficult process.

Trust me, I know.

My husband died recently.

I'm so sorry.

When did that happen?

Just a few months ago. It was very
sudden.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Would you mind if I made us some tea? I
know exactly where Abigail kept it.

Um, sure.

That'd be great.

Drink it.

Wow.

That is really, really good.

Isn't it?

Abigail and I used to drink tea together
often while we talked about our

futures. I try not to drink too much of
it. It can be quite addicting.

I mean, I can see why.

It's great. What's in it?

How is Darius holding up?

best as you can right now. Yeah.

I imagine it has been a hard year for
both of us.

Yeah, it has.

What is that?

It's bad balls.

It's for my anxiety.

Don't take that. Don't ever do that. You
should never defile your body with

something foreign.

I get a bit emotional when it comes to
health, especially after the death of my

Albert.

Our bodies are immortal vessels that
should always be respected and honored.

Yeah, it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

I should have mentioned earlier about
the medicinal properties of this tea.

It has valerian root.

Valerian root?

How? Go ahead.

Quite the kick, too, right?

Yes.

It also lends to the treatment of
anxiety and depression.

Really? I've actually been trying to
wean myself off my meds since this, but

keep taking them.

Keep drinking this. You'll thank me
later.

Well, it seems as though our meeting has
a purpose.

How lovely is that?

Tell you what, I have some more of this
at the house I'd be happy to give to

you. Why don't you stop by sometime and
pick it up?

Sure.

Yeah, I'd like that.

here is my info i know you have a lot to
do and i don't want to take up any more

of your time so until then if you need
any company or

anyone to talk to please give me a call

Yeah, hello?

Is this Darius Proctor?

It is.

Um, who is this?

This is the New Horizons Funeral Home.
I'm not sure how to say this, Mr.

Proctor, but your mother's body is
missing.

What?

Missing? Missing?

Yes.

Apparently there was a break -in over
the weekend.

Your mother's body was taken.

Wait a minute, man. Wait a minute. What
are you...

What do you mean, taken?

Huh? How can something like this even
happen? I thought she was cremated.

Yes. She was scheduled to be cremated
first this evening. But when the funeral

director went in to start the procedure,
he discovered her body was missing.

Just so you're aware, we've informed the
police department.

And? What did they say?

this is hard to hear given the
circumstances.

As soon as we hear something, Mr.
Proctor, we'll be sure to let you know.

We're terribly sorry.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey, baby. How was your first day?

Thank God, she will not believe I met
this really interesting woman today.

Darius, hello?

Babe?

Got a call from the funeral home today.

My mom's body is missing.

What? How?

Wait, what happened?

She said it was some kind of break -in.

Break -in?

That doesn't make any sense. Why would
someone steal your mother's... Who would

do such a thing?

I don't know.

I've been trying to figure that out all
day.

Okay, did they call the police and
report it?

Yeah.

What did the police say?

They said... They let me know when they
figure something out and they just sit

tight.

I don't understand. Why would somebody
do something like this?

It doesn't make any sense.

You don't miss?

No, honey.

I don't.

Yeah, baby, I'm sorry.

I heard it does some takeout. Do you
want to sit down and have some food?

You need to eat something.

I was thinking of cleaning and fixing
the old house.

We can place some of your mother's
things in there.

You know, in her honor.

That way she'll always have a place on
the property.

No.

No, you don't have to do that. It's a
lot of work.

No, I don't mind, really.

Honestly, it'll give me something to do.

Thank you for coming out here.

I really appreciate it.

Of course, babe.

I love you.

And what's that?

You don't... I don't know.

I actually found it when I was boxing
some of your other things. Have you seen

it?

No, I...

It looked interesting, though. Yeah.

Are you okay?

Amanda? Amanda?

Amanda?

Are you okay?

Um, I thought...

This neighbor you're talking about, new
friends you have, whatever.

Who is he?

I don't know. She said her name was
Tabitha, that she was friends with your

Have you heard of her?

Tabitha.

No, I don't ring a bell.

Well, she said they were really close.
I'm not sure.

Jerry?

Jerry? Are you all right?

Jerry?

Oh, here he is, our new stall broker
from our Florida office. Hey, Mr. Scott.

Nice to meet you.

Darius, call me Draven.

The only people that call me Mr. Scott
are my housekeeper and my lawn boy.

See that?

See what?

That look on your face when I said lawn
boy. Man, the world is a touchy,

sensitive place nowadays.

Darius, please sit down.

right? Dex phones equals annoying.

Who wants to answer a Dex phone? That's
what cell phones and Zoom are for,

right?

I'm kidding.

Darius, when I was 25 years old, I made
$5 million as the CEO and head

of Draven Scott Insurance.

We are now the number three insurance
provider in America with over 400

in the United States.

One of which you transferred from in
Chicago to come to sunny Florida.

Now, why do you suppose you did that?

I'll tell you why.

This is the mecca of Draven Scott
Insurance.

We're only the best.

of the best work.

Now, there are some things about Florida
that are facts.

Beaches, sunshine, yachts, rich people.

Some other facts about Florida are rich
people like yachts, old people like

beaches. And what do they both have in
common?

Insurance.

Rich people need insurance for their
homes, their yachts.

their jewelry, you name it. Old people
need life insurance.

Old rich people need life insurance plus
every other damn insurance that rich

people need.

Your job is to cater to that specific
need and not just to sell them things

that they need, but also make them
purchase things that they don't need.

You see that humongous estate and the
picture on the wall right there?

Darius, that's my house.

Now, this is the part where you say, why
is there a picture of my house on your

wall? I'll tell you why.

It's to remind you of what you don't
have.

But it's also to motivate you to always
achieve.

Now, Darius, I have a few of those
mansions.

Private jet, 12 cars, three Arabian
horses, and a

250 -foot yacht.

So what do you suppose the moral of this
story is?

Money?

Hey, show off this one.

Stephanie, get in here!

Darius, have you met Stephanie?

Stephanie?

Darius. Darius, Stephanie.

Stephanie, Darius hates to answer his
phone.

Stephanie, how many calls do adjusters
make in this office?

Over 500 a day. That's right.

Over 500 a day.

Every day there are 10 ,000 baby boomers
who are turning 65 and who need

Medicare. And there are millions and
millions of Americans who are uninsured

don't realize that they qualify for ACA
health insurance.

And let's not forget, everyone's going
to die at some point.

Hello, Darius. Doctor's office.

Hi. Is Darius there?

He's actually busy at the moment. You
can tell him it's his wife.

Yeah.

Hello? Who was that that just answered
your phone? Amanda?

Who just answered your phone, Darius?

You talking about Stephanie?

Who is she?

The secretary.

She was here. Why was she answering your
phone, Darius?

Kyle, look, Amanda, I really can't talk
right now. Okay?

Darius!

There are people outside. People
outside? What are you talking about?

woman placing flower petals in the
garden, and then there's another one

behind a tree with an animal's mask.

I don't know. Did you take your maids,
Amanda?

No. No, you're not listening to me.

Look, I can't do this right now.

What? You don't believe me?

But you can laugh and joke with your new
friend Stephanie, huh?

Amanda, I'm going to call you later.
Darius, don't hang up.

Darius, hello?

Oh no, no.

Oh my God.

Good, bro.

How's Florida? Look, they haven't
kidnapped your ass yet, have they?

Nah, might as well have with the week
I'm having so far.

What do you mean?

What's going on?

Where do I start?

I mean, the jokes they cracking on me at
the job or the part where I

almost choked to death last night on a
piece of chicken?

What do you mean, almost choked to
death?

Man, was she undercooked?

Look, man, I told you that girl couldn't
cook.

But you married her ass anyway.

Nah, nah, man.

It's not even that, yo. Like, she
ordered takeout.

And that's not the point anyway. Look, I
don't know. It was weird, right? For

some reason, I chewed it up and I
couldn't swallow it. I don't know. It

weird, man.

Anyway, she ended up giving me the
Heimlich.

Damn. And then she called me at work
today, right?

The secretary answered the phone, so now
she thinks I'm cheating on her.

Well, are you? What? No, man. I said she
thinks I'm cheating on her. Well, why

would she think that?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on now.

Now, what did you do?

Now, don't tell me that you were
involved in one of those sex orgies and

No.

No.

Well, then why would she think that?

Man, my boss, he was.

He was Ricky -hazing me at the office
because, you know, I'm the new guy.

And Stephanie, the secretary, she was
the closest one to the phone. So when

answered it, yeah, I'm at it. I think
I'm cheating on her.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Wait, wait,
wait. Back up, back up.

Let's go back to the secretary.

Is she sexy?

I mean, like, what she look like?

Why does that even matter, man?

Look, man, look, I'm just trying to see
if a brother need to take a vacation to

visit his boy at his office. You know,
it's just myself.

Man, you know what? Like, even if you
could, it's not the best time right now.

Something else happened too, man.

Um, my mother's body is missing from the
morgue.

What the hell?

Missing?

Yeah.

Yeah, it got me all messed up, bro.

Um, bro?

I mean, look, I know I said Florida was
crazy, but not kidnapping dead bodies

from the morgue crazy.

What you gonna do?

I mean, did you call the cops?

Uh, the funeral home did.

And?

And?

They said that they'll let me know when
they find something out, but until then,

I'm supposed to just sit tight.

Sit tight.

Man, hell no.

There's somebody that stole your mama.

Look, Jess, you got to do something
about that, man.

D.

Jess, I said you got to do something
about that, man.

D. Jess.

Yo.

Yeah.

Look, man.

Look, I hate to break it to you.

But if you ask me, dog, she probably was
taken by some cult or some kind of

ritual. Look, I'm just saying.

Come on, man.

Why you, why you?

Look, you're the only person that I can
talk to about this shit. And when I call

you, you can't even take me seriously.

Come on, man. You know what?

I can't do this shit right now, man. I'm
going to holler at you later, bro.

Come on, man. Hey, Darius, come on.

Hey.

Darius.

I'm sorry about earlier.

It's fine, Darius.

Look, I know you've been seeing things
and you've been hearing things and it's

not that I don't believe you.

It's a bit much, you know?

I mean, my mother's body is missing.

Oh.

That reminds me.

Aside from the people in the garden, I
heard noises coming from the house.

Specifically, from your mother's
bedroom.

What are you talking about, Amanda?

I went to see what it was.

And I saw her.

You saw my mother?

Yeah.

Huh?

That's right, Daria.

I saw her.

What's wrong with you?

What is wrong with you, Amanda? I mean,
are you trying to destroy her? Because

if you are, like, it's working.

I don't know if I can do this anymore.

Did you hear that? Hear what?

That voice.

He thinks you're lying.

I don't think you're lying. I don't know
what you... What?

I didn't hear anything. How could you
not have heard that? I didn't hear

anything.

I'm going to call Dr. Renta on the
morning.

Okay?

What are you trying to say, Jared?

What are you trying to say?

He never loved you.

Is that true?

What?

Do you love me?

What? Do you love me? Of course I love
you.

I just think you might be losing your
mind.

Hey, let me off the phone.

Get off. Let me off the phone. Get away
from me. Get away from me. Get off. Get

off.

I'm sorry.

Alright, it's been a long day for both
of us.

It has.

I didn't hear any voices.

I haven't heard any thumping.

But if you say that you're hearing it, I
believe you.

Do you believe that too?

He doesn't believe you. He thinks you're
crazy.

I can't stop you! You're not me!

I'm

in.

Huh?

Are you alright?

You scared the shit out of me. Not
again, I'm sorry.

Please don't do that again.

Sorry.

How are you managing so far?

You settling in okay?

What you're dealing with is just good
old -fashioned stress and loneliness.

I went through the same thing when
Albert and I first moved into our place.

My family was 200 miles away and I
didn't know anybody.

Albert was a bit of a Casanova at work,
too.

Always dressed nice, always reeking of
cologne.

There were lots of young secretaries
there.

So every time Albert would go to work,
all these ridiculous thoughts would pop

into my head.

What did you do?

It took time, but eventually I settled
in.

We've been arguing a lot.

I don't know.

Like yesterday, I literally thought
about killing him.

I've never been so angry before.

I know what's happening to me.

Death can do that to a family.

A lot of us cope with it in different
ways.

It just feels like nothing's been the
same since I found this.

What is it?

I don't know.

I found it when I was going through some
of Abigail's things.

Don't tell me you think...

That is the cause of your problems.

It looks like a child's toy.

Well, the thought had crossed my mind.
That's ridiculous.

Don't let those kind of thoughts get
into your head.

You are the master of your body and your
mind.

I used to tell Abigail that. She didn't
believe me until much later in her life.

I saw her.

Saw who?

Abigail. Yeah.

Really?

That's interesting.

You don't blame me either, do you?

I didn't say that.

Maybe it's her.

I don't know.

I told Darius and he doesn't believe me.

He thinks I'm making all this shit up.

Like... I just feel like I don't have
control over anything anymore since we

here.

When I found my Albert...

It had been a week since he'd gone
missing.

And there he lay, in the guest bedroom
on the other side of the house.

I hadn't previously thought to look
there.

It was the smell that eventually led me
to his body.

I have an idea.

I don't know, never mind.

You'll think I'm crazy.

No, I won't. I promise.

Well, believe it or not, I communicated
with Albert last night.

Wait, hold on.

Unless I'm actually going crazy, didn't
you say he was dead?

Yeah, but... Well, I... I went to a
spiritual medium.

I admit I was a bit skeptical at first,
but what I experienced was truly life

-changing.

Now, I...

I'm not into that.

I'm a Christian, and we don't do that
sort of thing.

Look, I get it, and I know what you're
thinking, Amanda, but I was really

worried about Albert, and I miss him
dearly.

So when I asked the medium about him, we
performed a seance, and she brought him

back. I mean, I heard him.

I felt his presence.

Yes. Yes.

And I was thinking about what you said
the other night about the disturbances,

and I thought maybe it is Abigail trying
to communicate.

Why would she be trying to communicate
with me and not Darius?

Maybe she's trying to reach Darius
through you.

I mean, she was very distraught over
their relationships those last months of

her life.

Then I admit she was acting quite
strange.

Maybe if we talk to her, we can find out
what happened to her. What happened to

her body?

I'm sure Darius would like some closure.

Look, I know that moving here has been
hard for you. And I also know that being

here by yourself while I'm at work has
been hard on you. And I just want to let

you know that it's fine.

Are you sure?

Yes.

What's all of this?

I was thinking of having a seance. A
what?

A seance.

A seance? No, no, look, I don't, we're
not going to be doing nothing like that,

alright? I don't think that's a good
idea.

No. Darian, there is clearly something
happening in this house. Something

neither of us can explain.

Look, I went to see Tabitha today.

Tabitha, duh.

The lady, the woman who said this is my
mother's friend.

She's the medium, and we performed one,
and it worked.

Maybe it can work, too.

Maybe we can find out what happened to
your mother, if it's her that I'm

and what happened to her body. No, no,
no, no, we're not doing this. Darius,

do you let me do this?

I just feel so worthless.

Like I haven't done anything right since
we moved here.

You're working and grieving and all I've
done is give you a hard time for it.

Please, Darian.

What do we have to do?

Like that.

It's pretty good sense.

It'll help attract your mother's spirit.

No, no, no. I don't think about this. I
don't think we should do it.

Darian, think about it. Think about it.

The people in the garden.

The noises coming from the house. Me
seeing your mother's ghost.

All of these things are signs.

She's trying to communicate with me.
With us.

Look, Darian.

The cops still haven't called us back.

Your mother's body is still missing.

We have to do something about this.

No, Darius, listen to me.

There is something wrong in your
mother's house.

This is the only way.

Now close your eyes and think about how
you feel.

Abigail, are you there?

It's me, Amanda.

I have Darius with me.

Abigail, if you're here, please give us
a sign.

We know someone took your body.

Someone's not right.

Abigail,

we know you're upset.

Tell us who did this.

Tell us who did this to you.

Stop it!

You had it?

No, Darian. It's me.

Mom?

Yes, Darius, it's me.

I'm so sorry we haven't talked in so
long.

I had so much to say to you.

Mom, I'm so sorry.

Mom, I'm so sorry I wasn't here when you
died.

Let me know that you're okay.

Would you like to leave a message?

I'm so glad you didn't visit with your
shipless carcass.

What?

I never wanted to be a single mother. I
never wanted you.

Don't say that, Mommy.

But you love me, Mom. Because you're a
worthless bastard just like your father.

No, not true, not true, not true.

Worthless, worthless.

Worthless bastard, come here.

Worthless.

Darius, what the hell?

Why did you throw water on me?

What the hell was that?

I don't know. I don't know. What the
hell was that? I don't know, Darian. I

don't know.

Oh, I am tired of this shit.

Ever since we moved into this house,
it's been nothing but drama. And it's

been because of you. You have made my
life absolutely miserable.

Me? I did not have to move here.

I did not have any of this to happen.
And I did?

You were pretending to be my mother.
Maybe it was her, Darian. Maybe it was.

Thank God.

Stay away from me, you crazy bitch.

Any of this demonic shit going on, it
falls on you, not me.

Good afternoon.

Thank you all for coming on such short
notice.

I want to talk to you today about our
quarterly.

You're all going to want to take the
note.

Now, our Q3 numbers for P &L weren't too
bad, but...

Darius?

Are you okay?

Hold his head back.

Put his head back. Put it back.

Look, Sid, man, look.

It's been a long day, okay? I do not
have time for your jokes.

Look, Darius, look, I just want to
apologize for being insensitive.

You're my boy.

You're going through a lot right now.
Look, I understand. I just wasn't there

for you.

Appreciate it, man.

Listen, Noah, I appreciate you just for
answering the phone so we can finally

squash this.

Any word on your mother's body?

Nothing.

Nothing at all. I mean, they haven't
even called me.

I don't know, man. It's been a lot of
crazy

things going on lately, bro. It's me and
Amanda, we got in this big -ass blow

-up the other day and... Blow -up?

About what?

The secretary again?

Nah, man. She's been, like, hearing and
seeing things lately.

Seeing things?

Like what? I don't know. It's like
dumping in the house noises and old

lady planting flowers in the garden and
everything.

It's crazy shit, man.

She said that she thinks it's my mother
trying to communicate with her. What?

And get this.

The neighbor is supposed to be some type
of medium or something.

A medium?

Yeah.

Her and Amanda tried a seance the other
day.

What?

But that's not the worst part, man.

Amanda and I tried it, too.

Come on, James. I mean, what the hell,
man? I know, I know, I know. Just

Look, look.

All of a sudden, Amanda...

like my mom.

It was like she was possessed or
something.

And then I threw water on her and she
snapped out of it. But bro, listen, she

sounded just like my mother, man. I
mean, just like her.

Look, Darius, look, I don't know if you
remember or just trying not to remember

right now, but your mom was always on
some strange shit.

Look, my pops told me when she would
drop you off, there would be a car

yours with women in all white.

And then sometimes they would come to
the door and they have these weird snake

necklaces on.

I mean, all we're talking about
regenerating the eternal soul and some

Hey, man, I, um, bro, I just had this,
this crazy

ass nose bleed out of nowhere.

I mean, like, Sid, I've never had a
nosebleed in my life, bro.

Never.

And then when it was just pouring out,
like, it just wouldn't stop.

I... Hey, man, I don't know what's going
on.

But, man, um... Everything's upside down
right now, bro.

Look, Darius, look.

I hate to say this, but your girl is
likely telling the truth.

Look, I know I joke a lot or whatever,
but shit like this just don't happen.

Look, man, something's going on.

So I advise you, you get home, get your
wife and you get the hell out of there.

Now.

Shit.

Amanda.

My mom's body is missing. Why would
somebody do something like this?

Your mother, she was part of a cult
called the Sacred Order of the

They believe in the spirit being
eternally regenerated through the

their loved one.

That's you, baby.

That's why she gave you this house.

She needs you as a sacrifice for her
spirit to return to her body.

It has to be done here.

That's why her body went missing from
the morgue.

We're coming.

Look, I know you don't believe me, and I
know you think I'm batshit crazy, but

I'm not. I believe you.

I believe you.

You do?

Yes.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

Yes.

Look,

we're going to get our shit, and we're
going to get out of here.

All right? Fuck the wheel, fuck this
house, and fuck Florida.

I should have never got into it.

Oh, my God. Thank you, baby. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Come on, let go. Okay.

Wait, wait.

There's something in the house.

Your mother's body.

It's inside.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Goodbye, Mom.

You must be Darius.

Tabitha, I trusted you.

I saw you in the photos.

I read the book. I know about
everything.

You're behind all of it. And this, this
is a part of it too, isn't it?

The visions, the voices, the nightmares,
all of it.

The sacred order of Ouroboros, the
conduit to Abigail.

A link between our world and hers.

By sacrificing Darius, you hope to bring
her back. Well, guess what?

Without this, she has no power over us.
Over me.

What are you doing?

Amanda, Amanda, what? No. What are you
doing?

This is my fault.

I know what this is, and I know what it
does.

I found it. So it's linked to me.

It means if you want Darius, you're
going to have to settle for me instead.

What are you talking about? Amanda.

Goodbye, Darius.

Amanda, what are you talking about? I
love you so much. What are you talking

about, Amanda?

Amanda, what are you doing?

What are you doing, Amanda?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Wait!

What's going on? Sirius!

Sirius, are you okay?

What? It's supposed to be me!

It's supposed to be me!

It's all part of the cycle.

Your husband was sacrificed.

The skin -sloughing process of snakes
signifies the transmigration of souls.

We mimic this process by terminating the
family bloodline of one to restore

another.

A symbol of eternal, cyclic renewal.

You knew this would happen, didn't you?

Just as we slough off those who do us
harm, so shall we slough off this mortal

coil to feel the pleasure of eternal
life by first postulating the pain

of death.

The sacred order will rise.

You too can rise.
