- Give me your hand.

What is this?

A pentagram. Oh!

You wanna be a Manson

chick or something.

It's ridiculous.

Ever since

your father died

you've been

into that occult crap.

It makes me feel better!

- And my friends...

- Your friends?

Your friends are losers,

Leah,

like you're becoming.

I give up. I give up.

Oh, you give up?

Moving on is impossible

with you.

Every time I look at you,

I see your father's face.

God, I wish I could

just wipe it off.

[intense music]

Oh, my God,

this is so cute.

Look.. Boo!

[chuckles]

Ah, we... we saw this

from the street.

- It is the cutest store.

- Oh, thank you.

And I was wondering..

D... do you have

an application

because I would

really love

to work here

on the weekends.

I think it would be

so much fun.

- Alright.

- Wow.

Okay, uh, you know what..

[indistinct chatter]

[intense music]

[music continues]

[sighs]

Such a cute store.

I think it would be fun to

work there on the weekends.

You alright?

Yeah, let's go

get some lunch.

Sounds good.

[gasps]

Mom!

[screaming]

[tires screeching]

[panting]

You okay?

[car alarm beeping]

[sighs]

Not a scratch.

He said we were lucky.

[intense music]

I can't believe

how close that was.

[sniffles]

Did you know

that your father drove

13 hours straight

so he could lay eyes

on you

as soon as you were born?

He never told me that.

Oh, yeah.

He was away on a job.

He couldn't afford

a flight.

I told him it was okay.

I mean, I understood

if he couldn't make it.

But, you know your dad.

He rented this car anyway

and he drove

straight through.

And the best part is

he did make it.

He rushed into

the delivery room.

I mean,

I barely remember, but..

...I've never seen him

so excited.

And he thanked me

every single night

for a year after that.

For what?

You.

He said you were

the best thing

that ever happened to him.

I know I've been hard

on you.

God, I'm so sorry.

Mom. Mom. Mom.

There's someone

in the house.

[sighs]

Leah, I don't

hear anything.

I swear

there's someone up there.

Okay.

Nothing.

Are you... are you sure?

No. See for yourself.

[sighs]

Go on.

So, let's have a break,

when we come back

uh, we will

answer questions.

I'm sure you all

have many as we do

as we got into today

which is

absolutely fascinating.

[water sloshing]

- Bullshit.

- Why would I make that up?

'Cause you're nuts.

I don't know.

- Rob...

- No, it happened.

It's happening. It's real.

It's f***ing real.

I can't believe

you wanted to kill

your own mother.

That's the scary part.

I mean, why?

God, I would

never do that.

I regret it, okay?

And don't be such

a f***ing hypocrite, Rob.

You do rituals all the time

to try and get girls

and they never

f***ing work.

Yeah, but that's not

black-craft sh*t.

You want to kill

your own f***ing mother!

I'm just sayin',

if it worked

then maybe

you deserve it.

F*** you.

F*** you, too.

- Leah.

- Lee.

Leah. Come on, sit down.

[sobbing]

F***.

Listen, Leah,

we're here, okay?

We... we wanna help.

Why did you..

Hm. Alright.

But what do you

wanna do about it?

I don't wanna go back.

I can't go back.

- Okay.

- I'll go.

I think it's cool.

And I wanna see

some weird sh*t.

We can, like, get it

on camera or something.

[foot tapping]

What do you say? Can I?

Can I come up tonight

and, like, stay over?

Um, what about

your parents?

They don't give

a sh*t what I do.

It's a waste of time.

She's just looking

for attention.

Well, we're gonna find out

while you sit at home

and jerk off tonight.

F*** you.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

[engine revving]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, mom, is it cool if

Janice sleeps over tonight?

- Oh, hey, Janice.

- Hi.

Did you check

with your parents?

Yeah, they said

it was cool.

And I'd really like to

come up, if that's okay.

Sure. Of course,

let's go.

Sick.

[Janice sighs]

F***, man.

This is brutal.

[clattering]

Aw. I love this.

Thank you, girls.

Thanks so much for dinner.

It was really good.

Oh, you're too kind.

Alright.

Okay, I'm off to my room

to get some work done.

You girls gonna

be alright?

- Yup.

- Oh, Janice.

There's a, a pillow

and a blanket

on the couch for you.

Okay, that's

great. Thanks.

Um, thanks again

for letting me stay.

Alright. Goodnight.

Night.

"Thank you, thank you.
