[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

Hello?

What?

[knocks]

I'’m going to Birdie'’s.

Her caretaker'’s abandoned her.

You'’ve never cared before.

Well, she'’s old, and she needs my help.

She'’s not taking her medication,

and she told the doctor that I'’m her cure.

Look, Mal, I understand.

- [phone vibrating] - Hold on one second.

August Hill.

I saw an open vacancy at that nursing home that we passed.

Birdie in a home?

She'’s not gonna go for that.

I can only lead the horse to water.

Every six hours.

And she'’s almost out of tanks.

Birdie'’s got the script.

She asked me to give you this.

Oh, um, sorry.

Dr. Frances, we can'’t take care of her.

Her malady has more will than her judgment.

She needs haloperidol.

And if not, relapse is certain.

You do remember what happened last time.

Good night, Mallorie.

Please don'’t leave.

Good night.

Doc--

- What in the world is that? - [snickers]

I strongly dislike clowns.

[bell rings]

That'’s her.

- You need help? - No, no, no.

You stay here because she'’ll flip if she sees you.

She'’s gonna see me eventually.

Because we'’re gonna hire a caretaker tomorrow,

and we'’re gonna get the hell out of here.

[knocking]

Lionel?

It'’s me, Mallorie.

Oh!

Hello, darling.

I told him these tanks are too small for a woman my age.

Who? Gilberto?

Before that, Luis, who was fired?

He was always into my forks.

And before the fork thief? Eleanor?

Always into my business.

And Sammy?

Perv.

[laughing]

Oh, darling.

It'’s good to see you.

Good to see you.

I'’m gonna hire a caretaker tomorrow.

No! No more help, darling. Just you.

After all, death should not be a private affair.

Families stay together.

You'’re not gonna die. [sighs]

I'’m having a guest over.

Of the dead kind.

I'’m so glad you came.

Oh, baby!

Let'’s make some babies, huh?

I like this bed.

- Let'’s get started. - I'’m sorry.

- No. - What?

You have to sleep on the couch.

Babe, what do you mean? No.

You know Birdie when she'’s not on her medicine.

- It'’s dusty. - She'’s gonna freak out.

It'’s not long enough either. I'’m telling you.

No, babe, it'’s creepy out there, and it smells.

- I'’m sorry. - No. Baby...

- Good night, August. - No. I love you. Baby...

- Good night. - Can I touch you?

AUGUST: What'’s Birdie'’s WiFi password?

Oh, I see you received Scarlett?

Scarlett?

Yes, we buried her when you were four years old.

Why'’d we bury her?

I don'’t know. Everybody buries something from their past.

It'’s human nature, I guess. Mm-hmm.

I don'’t really remember much before Mom left.

Mm.

I always wanted to learn how to sew.

Mm-hmm.

Why did you stop?

Birdie...

Birdie, let it go.

Birdie...

Birdie, let go. You'’re gonna cut yourself.

Oh, why don'’t you take Scarlett with you?

Why are you doing this?

[alarm clock ringing]

Hm.

Hmm...

Mal.

August too.

August too.

August too.

Mal.

Mal?

AUGUST: Like I was saying earlier,

she keeps muttering my name when she'’s sleepwalking,

and it'’s been worrying me.

Vocalizing dreams is very common for sleepwalkers.

- It'’s probably harmless. - Probably?

Doc, it'’s becoming more and more frequent.

Look at these pictures.

August, if what you'’ve told me is correct,

and Mallorie'’s current pattern continues to escalate,

a few things could happen.

She could say that she'’s starting to see things.

She could blame her bouts on her surroundings.

Does she ever talk about wanting to move?

Wanting to move? No, never.

She just moved in with me four months ago.

Is there a pattern of instability in her family?

Well, her mother left her when she was real young,

and her grandmother took care of her.

But her grandmother'’s old. I'’ve only met her once.

But I promise, Doc, things are amazing between her and I.

Everything besides the sleepwalking.

Why don'’t you just hire someone?

Because she hates people.

Well, some things never change.

Yup.

She'’s crazy.

[wailing]

[shushing]

[whooshing]

Let'’s get crazy tonight.

Yeah, sure, if I can get Birdie to sleep

or take her medicine or hire a caretaker.

Penny? Hey, love, it'’s me.

Who do you know in classifieds?

- No, no, no, no. - Ha-ha, too late, transferring.

Hi. I wish to take out an ad.

Yes. "Caretaker.

Please call for appointment. 619-646..."

Bye. See ya later.

One: Do not enter closed doors.

Two: Refrain from lustful relations.

Define "lustful relations."

I'’m sure our definitions are quite different, Birdie.

Would you accept an uninvited into your home?

- Uninvited? - Birdie.

- Oh, love. - Look at you.

What are you doing?

Okay, um, go upstairs, okay? I'’ll meet you there in a minute.

How long has she been down here?

Does she use a mirror when she puts on her lipstick?

What were you talking about?

The rules of death.

What the hell?

- Hang on. I'’ll be back. - Where you going?

Babe?

You gonna crush that up?

Oh, wait.

I'’ve been waiting for an excuse to use this thing.

Look at this.

Really? Gonna use that thing?

Watch this. This is old school.

Boom.

Put this here, flip it over.

One, two, tres.

Like so.

Bada-bing.

Bada...

There you go.

Good luck.

- Hi. - Hi.

Where were you today? I missed you.

Lunch with Taylor. Do you remember her?

Huh! Who could forget a queer?

I always wanted better for you.

[screams]

Shit! Birdie, I'’m so sorry.

Shit. I'’m so sorry. I'’ll be right back.

Shit.

- You okay, babe? - Yeah, no, no, no, I--

What?

Hey, Birdie.

[sighs]

You broke a rule.

Now it'’s just a matter of time who will die first.

Me...

or you.

Hmm? Excuse me, Birdie?

- Babe, you okay? - Yeah, yeah.

- You sure? - Yeah, yeah. I got it.

I'’m so sorry. Did I burn you? Did it go right through?

I'’m sorry. Did it really get you?

I'’ll make you another one, okay?

All right.

This might call up the devil.

[blowing]

"Awakening spirits." Which one?

Ooh, oh.

"Being touched by the hands of a spirit

and seeing images of ghosts during séances were common,

as were tables vibrating, shifting and moving."

No ink. Figures.

Hey, Birdie.

Where'’s Mallorie?

I think she'’s internet shopping on her phone.

My mind must be clear.

I'’m leaving you for good.

No. You and the child are staying with me.

She belongs here. She loves me.

She loves me more than you and he ever did.

She'’s gonna be the daughter you never were.

Goodbye, Mother.

AUGUST: I call bullshit on skydiving.

MALLORIE: Uh, B.S. on being related to Diane Keaton.

Okay, so you guys think it'’s true that I actually

skinny-dipped with Zach Galifianakis.

- Hell yeah. - Yes.

Damn it.

Gosh.

Chug, chug, chug, chug.

- Oh, okay. Uh, me? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Um, my mom Eva

was murdered by a late-night intruder when I was four.

Two: I can speak two different languages.

And I once saw a circus clown smiling at me

from just over there.

Where I'’m sleeping?

That'’s bullshit, I hope, but I'’m not sleeping there.

Bullshit on the languages and your mom.

No, um, my mom wasn'’t murdered,

but she did walk out on me when I was four,

so either way, she'’s dead to me.

Excuse me, Taylor long-legs.

Thank you.

Hey, baby.

Nice curly hair, babe.

[laughs]

Oh, no.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Unless you'’re part of the Insane Clown Posse crew,

putting paint on your face is a no-no for any man.

- Mal. - No.

- Yes, yes. - No, no, no.

Mal'’s drunk.

"Rip away life out of the chosen

and return life to those lost.

Call forth with mortal words and summon what is unseen."

Uh, she was a medium at a circus.

No, she was a witch.

For fifty cents, she would summon dead family members.

Oh.

[arcing]

It was only after she summoned Rawdilly

that she went mental.

So she summoned a clown named Rawdilly,

and you saw him in this house?

No.

That'’s gonna kill my resale value, babe.

No one knows for sure.

She went insane.

The circus exiled her for heresy.

She was a witch.

He wasn'’t a real person.

The doctors blamed it on her disease.

[gasps]

Let'’s play Rawdilly.

- Rawdilly, Rawdilly. - No. Oh, God, no.

- What do you hear? - Seriously.

DR. FRANCES: She needs haloperidol.

If not, relapse is certain.

You do remember what happened last time.

Yeah, this is all in Spanish.

Upside-down exclamation points all over the place.

She hasn'’t always been like this.

She did try hard when I was younger.

She'’d bake me a cake every birthday.

Each year the cake would get a little bigger than the last.

By the time I was a teen and wanting nothing to do with her,

she'’d baked enough cakes to feed the entire town.

On my sixteenth, I ditched her to spend the day with Taylor.

When I got home the next day, I found her in here.

She baked cakes all through the night.

She said, "Do you love me now?"

I never knew what that meant.

That was a day of many firsts.

The first I learned of her psychosis

and what happens when she skips her meds.

And the first I learned of her obsession

for this make-believe clown.

And the first time I turned my back on her.

I lived with Taylor through high school.

You'’re here now, Mal.

"Spirits bind themselves to earthly possessions,

That was her thing.

Keep reading.

"A trigger object thrives on emotion.

Fear, the strongest, followed closely by love."

"Love, true love, mutually from one to another,

could allow the entity to enter another soul

until cast away by its medium."

Taylor called it witchcraft.

She'’s doing it now.

Nina said, "Eres una bruja." Are you a witch?

But if Rawdilly isn'’t real,

there can'’t be mutual love, right?

but I will find someone who can.

No! You and the child are staying with me.

Goodbye, Mother.

BIRDIE: Family stays together.

May I have this dance, hmm?

Okay, what kind of dance shall we do?

Dance on my toes?

Look, you, uh, you stay right here, okay?

Grandma Birdie'’s been acting a little strange lately.

[Birdie laughing]

Do you love me now, child?

Do you love me now?

Grandpa, where did you go?

Grandpa, where are you?

Grandpa?

Mallorie?

It'’s me, my darling Mallorie.

Your grandfather lives inside me.

He'’s with me.

Come to me, sweetheart.

Come to me.

Love me.

Mallorie, what are you doing? Mallorie?

August two.

Oh, God.

Let love be your guide. Come to me.

Rawdilly, Rawdilly, what do you hear?

The sound of Birdie hiding in fear.

You killed my mother?

Either way, my darling, I live inside you,

just as he lives inside me.

Mal.

Mal, what'’s that on your face, babe?

Mal?

Anyway, it'’s time.

Get the syringe. I'’ll hold her down.

Mal, are you okay?

I'’ve decided to stay.

That'’s not funny, Mal.

You'’re not well. We need to go. Now.

No. This is my home.

This is your home?

After everything we'’ve been through in here?

Really?

Hello?

You'’re not well.

- We need to go home. - No.

Mallorie!

You in there?

Give me something! Come on!

Nothing?

Okay. This is what you want?

Good riddance, Mal.

DR. PATEL: A few things could happen.

She could say that she'’s starting to see things.

It'’s behind me!

She could blame her bouts on her surroundings.

It'’s not me! It'’s this house! It'’s not me!

DR. PATEL: Does she ever talk about wanting to move?

I'’ve decided to stay.

Wanting to move? No. Never.

This is my home.

I think that everything'’s gonna be fine.
