-Is Maddy okay?

Maddy's gonna be okay.

-Can you hear Momma?

-Come on, sweetheart.

Please wake up. Please wake up.

Oh, sweetheart! Oh, baby!

Hi, sweetheart. Hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy.

Hi.

Hi, sweetheart.

It's okay, Mommy.

Griffin saved me.

Yeah, he did. You know why?

Because you're our super boy.

Yeah. Yeah.

I love you, two. I love you, Daddy.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

All right, hop in your seat.

Are we ever coming back?

No, sweetie. There's no way in hell.

Okay, seatbelt.

Hey, thanks for everything...

and I hope we never see you again.

I don't know why they always say that.

-Bye.

-Bye.

So tell me. I deserve it.

Burbank, California, 2012.

We were shooting an episode

in a haunted car wash.

And the sound guy fell asleep.

-So, not a ghost?

-No.

Just a dozy boom operator

with a very, very large microphone.

Do the line.

I'm not saying it.

Mom, it's for Lauren.

Burke, give her the line!

The house is clean.

Better. Come on.

The house is clean.

Oh, my God! She's gonna freak.

"This house is clean."

It isn't though.

Of course it is, sweetheart.

You helped the spirits

go into the light.

But they didn't.

-Dad, go!

-Dad, go!

They didn't go into the light, Mommy.

They needed me to take them

but I wouldn't go in...

so neither did they.

-Dad, go!

-Go!

Get out of the car.

Honey, you okay?

You okay?

-Is everybody okay?

-Yeah.

Eric. Eric.

Here, baby. Hold on.

Where's Maddy?

Where is she? Where is she?

Maddy!

Mommy.

Something's wrong, Mom.

Maddy!

-Oh, God!

-Mom!

Maddy!

-Mom! Mom!

-Maddy!

Mom!

-Hold on!

-Mom! Mom!

Come on, baby. Come on.

Mommy!

Come on, baby.

Hold on!

Pull!

Pull!

Release your hold on this family...

as you yourselves wish to be released...

No. Don't do something stupid.

I always do something stupid.

Isn't that why you left me?

Carrigan, please.

They're never gonna let this family go.

I'm tired of faking it

for the cameras, Brooke.

I'm the only one left who can

lead those souls into the light. You know that.

Wait!

You don't have to do this.

I know. I want to.

Wait.

How will I know that

you've made it back?

I'll think of something.

Bye, Brooke.

Amy, come here.

Let's go.

Maddy!

Let's go! Come on.

Watch your head. Let's go.

Maddy. Okay, let's go.

Mommy's gonna get you.

No!

Kendra! Come here. Let's go!

I'm sorry I'm such a b*tch to you, Dad.

It's okay, honey.

Can we talk about it later? Let's go.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey!

What are you doing?

I've got a job to do!

Wait!

Dad!

Amy, we gotta find a car.

Eric, take mine. Go!

Mom!

Come on! Let's go!

Dad, is it gonna follow us?

Griff, don't look back. Don't look back.

Any sign of him?

Nothing. The GPS isn't picking him up.

Wait. We're getting something.

-Hello!

-Hi.

Hello! You obviously found it okay.

Isn't it beautiful?

I think this one is it.

Great school district...

the high school ball field's close by.

Wait till you see the inside.

Four proper bedrooms...

and the place is just swimming

in closet space.

That's not really high on our wish list.

Our last closet ate me.

That's sweet.

Anyway, this house

just screams character.

Look at the wainscoting.

And in here is the foyer.

Period detail throughout.

And this is the den.

The den leads right into the back yard.

Perfect for the kids.

And do you see that tree?

It's ancient. It was here before--

Hello?

Hello?

Perfect.

Let's get out of here.

Is this labyrinthine network

of sewers playing host...

to a malevolent spirit?

I'm Carrigan Burke,

and I'm here to--

And I'm Brooke Powell,

and we're here to clean house.

-I hadn't finished!

-I'm sorry. Was that not my cue?

-I hadn't finished my line.

-I'm sorry.

And we're not saying "clean house."

We cut that.

Because I thought that my cue was

when you said, "And I'm Carrigan Burke."

-I didn't even say that.

-As soon as I heard "and"...

I just came right out.

That's the wrong one, though.

Okay.

Does someone wanna tell me

the right one?
