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.

"Awakening spirits."

Which one?

Ooh.

"Being touched by the hands of

a spirit

and seeing images of ghosts

during sances 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.

I call bullshit on skydiving.

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.

Okay. Me?

Okay.

Um, my mom Eva

was murdered by a late-night

intruder when I was four.

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.

No.

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."

She was a medium at a circus.

No, she was a witch.

For fifty cents, she would

summon dead family members.

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.

Let's play Rawdilly.

- Rawdilly, Rawdilly.

- No. God, no.

- What do you hear?

- Seriously.

Sounds of children

hiding in fear.

- Okay, come on.

- Come on, baby.

We're playing.

It's happening.

- It's happening.

- We're not playing, no.

- Can we please... guys?

- No, it's happening.

Come on, come on.

Are we... are we really

gonna do this?

Rawdilly, Rawdilly,

what can you hear?

I said, "what can you hear?"

Sounds of children

hiding in fear.

Yes!

One, two, three.

Ready?

Rawdilly.
