During the summer of 2012, Malcolm and Kisha move in together and start a happy life. One night Kisha notices a few unexplained phenomena that convince her their house is haunted by ghosts. To allay her fears Malcom hires a camera crew to film inside the house day and night. A few nights later Malcom and Keisha have sex on camera, despite Keisha's protests at being filmed. Upon reviewing the sex tape the next day, Malcom and Keisha notice a few paranormal phenomena caught on tape. Malcom wants to sell the house but the housing market is slow. Therefore, Malcom decides to hire a psychic to come to the house and investigate.

I've never been with a man.

I've never been with a man.

I've never been

with a man.

Would you stop being so...

I've never been

with a man!

Okay!

You don't have to

be loud and angry.

He keeps asking me if

I've been with a man!

I've never

been with a man!

Okay.

I'm trying to get to know you.

Have you been with a man?

I sleep on this

side of the bed.

Right.

She sleeps there.

Ick.

And, you know, we keep

the camera right there.

And one night,

we saw the door

kind of just, like...

Oh, wow. So there was

some paranormal over there.

No, she thinks

it's paranormal,

and I think it's

'cause of the Tornado.

'Cause I created a vortex.

What does that mean?

We was havin' sex,

and I was hittin' it.

I was like...

I was doing this round,

and I think the...

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, sorry.

You all right?

I got light-headed

there for a second.

Okay. All right.

Yeah, no, I'm good.

Check out the door.

You know what?

There is some dark

energy over here.

Really?

Yeah. Wow, that's crazy.

- I didn't even...

- Oh!

We got a ghost.

Oh, my God,

it's got me!

It's got me!

It's got me!

It's got me!

Help! Help!

Hey, man!

Get off of me!

Oh, man!

Get off of me.

What are you doing?

I don't know

what just happened.

That was so scary.

Okay, you guys.

This is a simple

channeling exercise.

Okay.

This is creepy.

Shh.

All right, Kisha,

now just breathe.

Relax.

Do you feel anything?

No, not really.

What about you, Malcolm?

Just your dick in my back.

Well, that's a start.

Now, there are two kinds

of paranormal entities.

I specialize in

the good ones.

Okay, yeah, like

Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Oh!

Yeah, he's fun.

And also Patrick Swayze

from Ghost.

I love that movie.

Yes, that one was

really moving.

Especially with the clay,

and he'd work

the clay and just...

And he just

f***in' has it, and...

Demons, though, are bad.

Those are pure,

pure, pure evil.

And they will pop up

at the worst possible times.

You know, like herpes.

What?

What are you

looking at me for?

All I'm saying is,

do not aggravate a demon.

Do not try to

contact them,

and whatever you do,

do not film them.

That will only

make things worse.

See? Don't film demons.

Very bad.

Okay.

Well, thanks a lot

for coming out, man.

Is there anything

you wanna get off

your chest?

Is there anything

you want to

put on my chest?

Huh?

Wait'll you see

the clay scene.

Wait, wait. Uh...

I have a confession

to make.

Yep, herpes!

I knew it.

Oh! Ick!

No, I don't!

But did I mention that I made

a deal with the devil

for a pair of

really cool Louboutins?

You made a deal

with the devil

for a pair of shoes?

Not shoes, Malcolm!

Louboutins, okay?

They've got red soles,

and they make my calves pop!

Well, I really

needed them, okay?

You are screwed, sista,

This demon is not

leaving this house

until it gets what it wants.

What's that?

Kisha.

You're fine, Malcolm.

Like, you're free to

be whoever you want.

It's a five-man

wrestling league.

I'm good.

It's so fun.

I bet it is.

It's not for me.

And everyone's

really good.

Really?

Yeah, no,

but it's competitive.

It's something that...

Oh, my God.

I'm getting mind powers.

Okay. All right.

I'm getting mind powers.

Malcolm, something

is going to happen to you

that is going to change you.

Don't fight it.

Whatever it is,

don't fight it, okay?

Okay, I won't.

I won't.

I can save you.

It's five guys.

We wrestle on Monday.

Okay.

I can save you.

No, thank you.

Save you!

God.

I think that went well.

We need to talk.

A demon, Kisha?

I'm sorry, Malcolm.

Why...

Why didn't you tell me this,

like, on the first date?

Because you never would have

gone out with me again.

Exactly!

How long has this

been happening to you?

Since I was a little kid.

What the sh*t is this?

And you say I

tape everything.

Mm. Mm-mm-mm.

Happy birthday, Kisha.

Mama loves you.

Ooh! To think you

almost didn't make it.

But good thing

that clinic was closed.

Ooh! God is good

all the time.

You are eight years ol.

Enjoy your birthday.

Sooner or later, you're gonna

come home from school one da.

"Where's stepdaddy?

Where's stepdaddy?"

And I'm gonna be gone.

Happy birthday, Kisha.

Make a wish.

Sit right there.

All right.

I wish Tony can

stay with me forev.

Who is Tony?

Who is Tony, baby?

He's my friend.

If you have friends,

they'd all be

gathered around here

drinking beer,

smoking cigarettes,

having a good time,

gambling,

playing cards

and stuff.

You gonna blow it out?

Or you just gonna

look at us crazy?

Dang.

She ain't all there.

Lookin' all crazy.

You crazy.

Look, look,

look, look, look.

She got a lazy eye.

Blow out

the candles, baby.

Tony, no!

You wanna throw cake

on my brand-new Betama?

You must be crazy!

Ow! It wasn't me.

It was Tony.

I'm-a beat the Ty

out of you then.

Ah, ah, ah.

Lamar, not so hard.

I won't beat my

own kids like th.

I know that's right.

Anything else

you wanna tell me?

Well,

about the herpes.

Baby, what are you doing?

Huh?

Oh, nothing. I'm just...

Just cleaning, that's all.

You ever get that

not-so-fresh feeling?

Seriously, we're gonna

have to talk about your lies.

Oh, that's fizzing.

It's fizzing.

It's herpes, Kisha.

This ain't

a cold sore, Kisha.

This is the real thing.

Ah! You did this to me.

Get a match!

Get the goddamn match!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

That hurt. Whoa!

What the hell?

What happened?

Did...

What'd you slap me for?

Was I snoring?

Kisha!

Kisha!

The hell?

Kisha.

Kisha.

What the hell?

Kisha.

Oh, sh*t!

Kisha, what the...

Kisha, what are you doing?

What? Oh, that is gross.

Wait! No, baby,

that milk is

three weeks old.

Oh! Baby.

Baby, what are you doing?

I'll run to the store.

We're out of milk.

I'll be right back.

No, no, you... No, no.

Give me that.

Honey, honey.

Where do you

keep the Pepto?

Oh, man.

Where do you

keep the Pepto?

My stomach hurts.

What are you doing?

I'm looking at

the tape from last night.

Honey, you make me feel good.

Okay. Maybe some sleep

will make you feel good.

Oh, my God.

I don't remember

doing any of this.

What am I doing?

Acting like a freak.

This is crazy.

Wait, look at this.

Check this out.

Something weird...

Weird-weird-weird

is going on.

Something weird

is going on.

Meow.

Honey, you make me

feel good.

Weird is going on.

Weird-weird-weird

is going on.

Whoo!

Weird-weird-weird-weird

is going on.

I'm a scary ghost!

I can't breathe.

Baby, you mad?

Baby.

Malcolm!

It's not a joke!

Come on. I'm just trying

to make light

of a bad situation.

Bad situation?

So, what,

now you're referring

to my moving in

as a bad situation?

I didn't have

a demon in my house

till you moved in.

What happened to,

"You're living with me now.

I'll protect you"?

From a burglar,

not a ghost!

You know what?

I ain't listening to this.

Where do you

think you're going?
