to your existence.

Hazel, hit the goddamn thing!

Come on, harder! Two hands, go.

Two hands.

Come on, Hazel. Come on, Hazel!

That was embarrassing.

Fastest date in history.

Well, if he can't accept

my inner demons, then f*** him.

Totally.

Hi, Ava.

Hi, mom.

I told you to call first.

You're not

supposed to be drinking.

Haven't you heard,

I can handle my spirits.

Oh, you think it's funny?

What are you,

some kind of expert.

How can you possibly know

what this has been like for me?

I just know, okay?

I've had my share

of difficulties.

Zinc, one a day, with meals.

Here's your calcium.

Something happened here that

you guys aren't telling me.

I found blood

under the rug over there.

Someone tried to cover it up.

Well, you hurt yourself,

we cleaned it up. So?

Part of my therapy is I have to

confront all of the bad things

that I did head on.

I hope you're not spilling

your guts to those hippies.

Those hippies

are the only people

helping me recover.

Trust me when I say

you don't want to know any more.

Just leave it alone.

Ginseng...

Hey Tony,

you said the possession

could be induced

by a third party.

How?

What did you mean by that?

By invoking runic

or psychokinetic energy.

Maleficium or Vamachara.

What's that?

Black magic.

Truth is we don't know

exactly how it works.

It's like breaking and entering.

Spectral doorways open,

the barrier's weakened.

Spirit slips in.

The whole point

of what we do here

is to make you possession-proof.

Lay the right

foundational bricks

so that no one or no thing

can ever get in again.

Remember me, doll-face?

You chewed my ear

like a little rat.

Well you danced

with the wrong matador,

'cause I will carve out

your f***in' eyes.

Now I want my money.

Plus interest.

Plus damages. Plus f*** you.

I don't remember.

I'm sorry.

Oh, you don't remember?

You don't remember Noelle

with your titties in her face?

Now I don't care

if you're a girl or a boy

or a pig or a dog

or a monkey vegetarian,

or an episcopalian.

If you're with one of Escobar's

girls, you gotta pay...

One way or another.

Now open up your wallet

and show me your money.

And your jewelry too.

Ow, ow, ow.

Come on, Darlene, you can do it.

I mean, what are the odds

that two twin sisters

both get possessed.

Maybe it's genetic?

I heard that can happen.

What are you doing Saturday?

Do you wanna hang out?

Sure.

Fight it.

Fight this spirit, fight it.

C'mon.

C'mon. Fight it. You can do it.

I know you can do it!

That a girl!

You did it.

Give me this.

- Cheers!

- Thank you.

Cut my hand

as a warning, I guess.

And ran off.

Sounds like he was

some sort of pimp or something,

which explains why he's not

on the list of people

pressing charges against you.

Did he tell you the name

of the woman?

Yeah, Noelle.

Maybe she's a prostitute.

You're gonna have to

talk to Noelle.

You're gonna have to

meet her in person.

How am I supposed to find her?

There's nothing easy

about this process, Ava.

Some of these people have been

coming here for years

with little or no progress.

You know what Hazel would say?

You keep us chasing the past,

so that you can

keep this place filled up,

so you've got a job.

That sound's like

something Hazel would say.

What do you say?

I'd say...

Did I really do something

when I was possessed

that your average scumbag

hasn't already done?

That's a pretty

bleak outlook, Ava.

You may want to

change your perspective.

I got you a little present.

Oh, that's nice.

Thanks for the Jade elephant.

That's...

J.J...

What do you,

want do you want from me?

What do you, what do you...

What do you want me to do?

You got a guy in city hall

who can like track down people?

Yes.

How about a prostitute?

Wait, a minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you, are you trying to

get me a prostitute right now?

No, it's part of my therapy.

Is that two separate

thoughts there?

I gotta find people

and talk to them, make amends.

You want me to track down

a prostitute for you?

Yes, please.

I like where this is going.

Hello?

Hi, this is Ben Branson.

- Oh, hi.

- Could I ask you to, um,

come out for a drink with me,

as a thank you?

Conrad would say

that's the decent thing to do

for returning his watch.

Yeah, sure.

I thought we were

going out for a drink.

More fitting gift,

would be letting you chose

whatever you like.

Are you serious?

You can take any piece you want.

Unless you don't like anything.

I like this one.

This is one of my favorites.

Leda and the swan.

That's a swan?

It's actually

the Greek god Zeus.

He took the form of a swan

in order to seduce

a woman named Leda.

I thought it was an angel.

Greek gods are

kind of like fallen angels.

Is this Conrad?

Yes.

I don't think

I could work for my family.

I can relate.

I love that Conrad travels.

Let's me run this place

the way I want.

That's good...

That you know what you want.

Sorry, it's my lawyer calling.

J.J.?

What's up, kiddo?

Uh, I have a lead

on that Noelle woman

you're looking for.

You have a number?

Uh, no, I have an address,

and I hear she's only there

for another hour.

Tonight?

Yeah, tonight. What? Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Ben, I'm so sorry I have to go.

It was nice to see you again.

But...

Your loss, baby.

You'll be back.

Take a look at that guy.

Take a look at this b*tch.

There's that crazy b*tch

that chewed up Escobar.

Hey, is one of you Noelle?

You remember me?

How could I forget.

What do you want?

You're gonna have to pay first.

I'm talkin' Benjamins.

Can we talk somewhere?

Yeah.

Welcome back to hotel Noelle.

Oh, wow.

This is nice.

So I-I don't remember

the night we met.

No, no, no, no, no.

I just wanna talk.

I don't say no to money, honey,

but I ain't no psychoanalyst.

Listen, I'll be

out of your way in five minutes.

I just need to know

what happened that night.

You really

don't remember anything.

No. I was possessed...

By a demon.

Holy f***. Is that contagious?

I don't think so.

Good. 'Cause I've got enough

problems without that sh*t.

Okay, well, I just need to know

how I found you,

what I said to you.

Yeah,

I was in here with some guy,

and you showed up

and climbed in.

You stripped down

to your underwear

and next thing I know

we were all going at it.

I saw you earlier, you were like

following him, I think.

I figured you were his wife

or girlfriend or something.

I've seen people play

all sorts of kinky games.

So we knew each other?

Definitely.

He really liked you.

His name wasn't Conrad, was it?

I don't do names, baby.

Okay.

I'm gonna give you my number.

If you can please

try to find out

any more information

on the guy, call me.

Oh f***, it's Escobar!

Get your little ass out here!

I swear to god,

she made, she made me!

Now let me get this straight.

You come to my Chuck e cheese

and you throw your own

goddamn pizza party?

I told you Escobar's girls

are off limits to you b*tch.
