I want you to enter death.

Here we are, just like I promised.

Let's do this.

Hi.

I'm Marsden, we talked on the phone.

I know who you are.

You're late.

Sorry, we, uh,

we made a wrong turn

about 100 miles back.

Tried to call you.

There's no reception out here.

That explains it then.

No, it doesn't.

Look...

I don't know what to tell you.

I have been standing in the blazing

heat for more than an hour,

a minor pain in the

grand scheme of things.

The pain of your birth

hunts you down in the end.

Okay, maybe it's

time to unpack now.

Yeah.

Okay.

The rules are simple.

No smoking on the premises,

no pets, and no moving

of any furniture.

See you later.

Oh, no, baby, I got it.

It's good.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'll be in there.

Excuse me, excuse me.

You know how you said you were

waiting out in the hot sun all day?

Yes.

Why didn't you go inside the house?

I don't go in there.

Crazy, crazy b*tch.

Oh, man.

Pirino, seriously?

I warned you.

You know this place is a disaster.

Look, me and Colline, we're gonna

take the master bedroom, all right?

And why is that?

Because I'm me.

Dick.

How?

How did we let Pirino

get us into this mess?

He means well.

I guess.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

You got this on your own?

Yeah.

Okay. I'll see you out there, okay?

Okay.

When Pirino said we were

roughing it, he was not joking, was he?

Yeah.

It's okay though, maybe

it'll help with the ritual.

Listen to you, man.

I made some changes, you know.

Besides, we're camping, right?

This is like the Taj Mahal of camping tents.

Yeah, right.

This old lady's got

some strange taste.

Yeah, seriously.

It's kind of weird though,

I feel like, I don't know, like I've

seen this sh*t somewhere before.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, remember when

we first came to L.A.,

we stopped at that

bed and breakfast?

Yeah, Joshua Tree.

Remember?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, look, it's an antique.

Oh, God. Oh, do you remember when

your dad taught us the waltz?

There you go.

Why do you want to waltz?

You know.

I know, we hated it, huh?

One, two, three.

One, two...

You still suck.

I'm a better waltzer than you.

Yeah, well...

I make up for it in style.

You're not gonna leave me?

I'm not making that mistake again.

I promise.

I'm here for you.

For me?

You know, Lilly was a part of both of us.

You really got to be there for her, too.

Of course.

Of course.

And your son.

Maybe this isn't just my deal.

We have to do this together.

100%, I promise.

100%.

Hey, I'm putting

my faith in Pirino.

Pirino of all people, come on.

I trust Pirino.

Well, you're crazy.

Shut up.

I trust you too.

You do?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go unpack.

Okay.

Don't lose yourself in

here and keep me lonely.

F***.

Someone down there?

Okay.

Oh, sh*t.

Is anyone in there?

Hey, thinking about her, huh?

Yeah.

Come on.

It's time for a huggy-hug.

Huggy-hug. Jesus.

I was a good mom, you know?

Yeah. You are.

Hey, forget about that.

Come help me with this stuff,

I can't do this in my condition.

Your condition?

Jesus.

It's not even pea-sized yet.

Yeah.

Best to be cautious.

Remember when we were younger,

we talked about having our kids

and watching them grow up together?

Yeah.

We can still do it.

Yeah.

Hey, Colline.

Yeah.

When Marsden stayed

with you guys...

did he ever talk about me or Lilly?

I'm sure he was thinking

about you, Sera.

Wow.

Mars, you did good, man.

This is perfect.

You said you wanted

death effigy, right?

It's beautiful.

Hey, you know, I've been

meaning to give this to you.

What's this?

Remember that week you

and Serafina went to Paris,

Lilly stayed with us?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I just found it recently, it was

under the rug in the guest room.

I miss her, man.

You know, when she passed,

it broke us all up.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

She's gonna take time, right?

Time is now, man.

It's tonight.

Huh?

Throw that energy around.

You wanna put this up?

Let's raise it.

Yeah, let's see what happens to it.

Yeah, I got it.

One, two, three.

Breathe in and out,

deeply from the abdomen.

You can do this, you can do this.

We each brought an object

that holds Lilly's energy.

These are attachments

to a life that is no more.

We have to die to these attachments

in order to set ourselves free.

I can't do this.

You can do it.

You have more toys at home,

you have more pictures at

home, you can do this.

That's good.

That's good.

I want you guys

to start breathing.

Rapidly.

Fast, tight breathing.

Equal amounts of air in and

out through your nostrils.

Elevating your consciousness

out of your bodies.

I want you to face death,

enter death,

don't be afraid of death.

Without the awareness of death,

life is ordinary and trivial.

It's only because death stalks us

that life comes alive.

I want you to face

the mysteries of death,

face it in a way

others dare not tread.

I want you to forget your religion.

I want you to leave behind

your spiritual beliefs.

Any preconception you

have of what death is.

There is no heaven,

there is no hell,

there is no afterlife,

there is no reincarnation!

Death is the infinite abyss

of pure nonexistence.

Enter it and be done.

I want you to call death

with me, call death.

I call death.

I call death.

I call death.

I call death.

I can't say that.

You can say it,
