If it's good
Then I want it
If it's bad
You can give it to
People who like to woo
The devil
But if it's good

Then I want it

I've done Jayne Mansfield...
Bettie Page...
Before they made it big.
[camera clatters]
Bettie...
she was somethin' else.
At the time,
she was 35-22-35...

[cigarette sizzles]
What are your measurements?
-I don't know...
[clapping on stereo]
-[host] For a throat-friendly
smoke that goes down smooth
with no peppery dust,
choose Bellevue--

[Ruth sighs]
[Jack blowing]
-How about we take a few
with the dress off?
-I beg your pardon?
-What?
You want to be a pinup girl,
don't you?
[cigarette sizzles]
-We haven't finished
the outfits we agreed on first.
Can we take a few
in the slacks and blouse?
-Sure you need those shots?
-I'm sure.
-Suit yourself.

-[building manager]
My family has been managing
and keeping up
the property for years.
We've preserved
its historic character
while bringing the utilities
and such up to date.
Plenty of sunlight and space
to be creative, yeah?
-[Liana] Oh my God.
-[Sophia]
Can you just imagine it?
-I mean...
-I just, I can't believe nobody
has snatched this place up.
-Yeah, you're the first
to look at it.
-How did I get so lucky?
-So what got you into fashion?
-Oh, God, she and I were always
making clothes growing up.
Our grandma taught us to sew.
-So then this is
the perfect location for you.
You're right by
the Fashion District.
-[Sophia chuckles]
-[building manager] You know,
I'm a writer-director myself.
Maybe we could collab sometime.
-[Sophia] Oh, hey.
And, uh... what about
all this furniture?
-[building manager]
Everything comes with the unit.
Previous tenants have used it
for photo shoots.
I'm sure you'll find a way
to put it to use.
Here you go.
-Your keys.
-[keys jingle]
I'll be on and off the property,
but ping me anytime
for anything.
Enjoy your new workspace.
-Thank you.
I mean, what do you think?
-I think you scored, dude.
It's amazing.
-[Sophia laughs]
[door hinges creak]
-So I'm thinking tables
will go all along here.
Um, the fabric wall
on this side,
and then the clothing rack
right here.
-Cute.
Oh, and you can put Fancy Nancy
and Lady Valet over here.
-[Sophia] I love that idea.
-Like a little display area.
-[Liana giggles]
-Wait, are you getting,
like, a U-Haul, or...?
-Um, yeah, for the big stuff.
-Hey, what are you
wearing tonight?
-I was thinking
that red cocktail.
-Oh, very cute.
-[Sophia] What about you?
What? What?
Hey, you got
the time off work, right?
-I asked. But--
-My God, Liana--
-No, no, no, relax.
I'm not going to miss my
best friend's engagement party
to pull looks
for an overpaid stylist
who is going
to shoot them down anyway.
-[snaps fingers]
-[Liana] Mm-hm.
-[Sophia] Mm-hm.
-[Liana] Mm-hm.
[Sophia chuckles]
-What is this?
Sophia.
Are you serious?
-Serious.
-Shut up. Really?
-Really, February Fashion Week
in Milan.
-Oh, my god!
-I'm gonna show you around.
We can have
sister bonding time.
-Okay, okay.
How much were the tickets?
-Let me pay for mine.
-Oh, my God, no, no.
Call it this
year's birthday gift...
and Christmas.
-Okay.
-[Sophia] Okay.
-Okay, whatever.
Chill...
Thank you. Oh.
-And hey, maybe seven months
is enough time
to get you
some time off work. Huh?
-Aw. That's optimistic.
[footfalls]
-[Liana] Oh shit.
Am I gonna need
to learn Italian?
-[Sophia] Dio mio.
We'll be in Italy for ten days.
[unsettling music]
-Babe. You ready?
-[male host] That's got to be
the ghost of Sinclair- -
That's got to be the ghost
of Sinclair Fletcher,
Winifred's son, who
died in the basement.
[repeats] son who died in the--
-[keys jangle]
-[Liana] Oh.
-...got to be the ghost
of Sinclair--
[phone beeps]
-[Liana] Hi.
-Hi. How are ya?
-Hi. Good.
Hey, didn't we talk about this?
-[Peter] Oh, I know.
I'm sorry--
-Yeah. Why can't you do this
at your place?
-The roomie's got friends
in town again.
I was--I was gonna have
all this cleaned up
by the time you got home.
Just 15 more minutes.
-We have to go in like ten.
-Okay, all right,
I promise I'm just, like,
one more take
and I'm ready to go.
I just gotta take
the shirt off.
-Come here.
-[Peter] Oh.
-Do you not check yourself
before you go on camera?
-Thank you.
-[Liana] Hurry up.
-Okay, promise.
-[Peter sighs]
-[door opens, closes]
[phone beeps]
Three, two, one.
To all my Sherlock homeys
out there tonight,
I am your Watson
as we investigate
one of Orange County's
most haunted buildings.
[eerie ambient music]
-[overlapping chatter]
-[glass clinking]
-[Nadine] Can I get everyone's
attention, please?
I just want to thank everyone
so much for coming
and even flying
all the way here
to celebrate me
and my beautiful new home.
-[female guest] Really?
-[Nadine chuckles]
-[Nadine] I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.
[laughter]
Honestly, it really means a lot
to me that you are all here
to share our special moment.
-[Hazel] She's so cute.
-[Nadine] And to Mark.
Thank you for having loved
and supported me
the last three years,
and he's still willing
to deal with me
for the rest of our lives.
-[laughter]
-[female guest] Yes!
-I love you, babe.
Cheers.
Cheers!

[upbeat party music]
[indistinct party chatter]
-[Peter] My father,
he's filming the priest, right?
As the priest is trying
to finish up his prayer,
and he's got his hand
over the girl's head,
and her body is convulsing
under him, right?
I mean, you can tell
my dad's terrified.
The camera's all shaky,
and then out of nowhere,
-bam!
-[woman gasps]
Her eyes just "oh" shoot
into the back of her head,
and she just starts vomiting up
all this like mucus and snot.
I mean, you name it.
It is coming out of her.
And--no, it's true.
-How many times
have you heard this story?
-I've lost count.
[distant woman laughing]
-[guests] Cheers!
-[glasses clinking]
-So happy for them.
-You can really see the leash
and collar on Mark's neck.
-You know he's into that.
-Actually, have you been
with a mustache that big?
Ooh, baby. All night...
-Hey, you should get Peter
to grow you one.
-The only hair he grows
is on his back.
-Well, I do love
a luscious mane of back hair.
[phone vibrates]
-Is he calling you again?
-What? Who is?
-This is insane, right?
I'm just gonna quit.
-No--hey, hey, hey.
Let's put the phone down
and take a breath.
-You're supposed
to work tonight?
-[Liana] Yes, but he's known
about this for months.
-Oh.
-[Liana] I'm done.
-Hey, I get it. I get it. Okay?
But you've had a couple
of drinks tonight.
Why don't we just
put the phone down
and not be too hasty?
[female guest] Thank you so much
for coming.
-Can I have a puff?
-Yeah. You want your own?
-No, these things kill people.
-Okay.
-[Hazel] Hi.
-[Nadine] So sorry.
I've been all over the place.
I gotta make the rounds,
you know?
-Mm-hm.
-I love this.
-It's not too much?
-[Nadine] No.
-It's not a red cocktail dress.
-[laughs] No, it's not.
-I know it's a little early,
but we have to talk
bridesmaids' dresses soon.
I've been imagining shades
of green, pink, yellow,
blue, purple, pinkish reds.
-That's a lot of colors.
-[Nadine] Mm-hm.
-[Hazel scoffs]
-Oh, wait!
Tell her about the new workspace
you snagged.
-Oh, my God.
It's in downtown, right?
The abandoned building?
-It's not abandoned anymore,
though.
It's totally redone.
It's a huge, creative space.
-I'm so impressed.
Business, investment...
Two leases?
Next is a mortgage.
-Nadine... that rock!
-I know it's really big.
-Girl! Show that ice off.
-[Hazel] Well done, Mark.
-He's such a good boy.
[Nadine laughs]
-Hey, you're next.
Yeah, y'all wife up.
I'll be over here
enjoying my smorgasbord.
-[Sophia laughs]
-[Hazel] Mm. I like him.
-He's been looking at you
all night.
-[Nadine] He's single.
-[Peter] People just cannot get
enough of my stories.
Nadine's aunt was really
into the exorcism bit.
Can you ask around
for her email?
I can send her some links
or something.
I'm excited for Sophia.
Which building is it again?
-Somewhere in downtown.
-[Peter]
That sister of yours.
Damn, she's crushin' it.
Hey, we should do
a double date night
with Mark and Nadine.
That'd be fun. Yeah?
[wine pouring]
You know,
seeing them tonight...
just kind of got me thinking--
I don't know--
what it would be like
for maybe... us
to start living together.
I mean,
I'm here all the time anyways.
Yeah?
Liana?
You okay?
-[sighs] I'm just not
feeling great right now.
-[Peter] What's wrong?
-Us.
-[Hazel] You made him cry?
-So are you guys, like, done,
or is this just a break?
-[Liana] I don't know.
-Well, I wouldn't have moved in
with Mark
unless I knew he was the one,
you know?
-[Sophia] Yeah, but maybe
after two years
you don't know for sure.
-How would you know?
You haven't even dated
since prom.
-[Hazel] Slinging shots?
-[Nadine] Don't worry, Li.
We're gonna find you a man
with a real job.
-[Hazel] Oh, there's
no such thing anymore.
-[Sophia] Yeah, and at least
he's doing something
that he loves.
Maybe this is a really good
opportunity for you--
focus on yourself
and your own goals.
-Oh, you mean, like,
be more like you?
-[Sophia] No, I--I--
-Look, I am perfectly happy
with my life choices.
Just back off.
-[Sophia] Oh, right, because
you're never not complaining
about your life choices.
-Okay, ding, ding.
Everybody in their corners.
-[woman] Bitch, you didn't say
there'd be stairs.
-Come up.
-There's no elevator?
-Watch your step here.
Okay? Come on.
-Workout.
-[Sophia chuckles]
-What?
-[Sophia] I know.
-This is huge.
-[Sophia] I know.
[box thuds, objects clank]
-[Sophia] Come in.
-Oh, sorry.
-[Sophia] Oh, God.
Yeah.
-[Nadine] Are you kidding
with those windows?
-[Hazel] Yeah, [indistinct].
-[Nadine]
Aah, the natural light.
-[Hazel] Oh, my God.
-[Sophia] Yeah.
It's kind of incredible.
-[Nadine]
Wait, what's back here?
Holy shit.
I thought that
was a real person.
-[Hazel] Oh yeah.
-Oh, she's naked.
-Oh...
-[Nadine] Sophia,
you better give me this.
-[Sophia] Oh yeah,
that'd look cute on you.
-[Nadine] I know.
-[Sophia chuckles]
-So where'd you get this?
-Oh, God,
she was already here.
Yeah. Strong shoulders,
tight waist.
It's very 1950s.
-What are you gonna name her?
-Alice Baldwin.
-Oh.
-[Sophia] Mm.
-[Nadine] Gross.
-[Sophia laughs]
-You are too much.
-[Hazel]
So how was last night?
-[Nadine] Ah, I came.
-[Hazel] Yes, I know, I know.
So I've been having this thing
right where, like I can--
[faint chatter]
[eerie ambient music]
[music intensifies]
[background chatter]
-Okay, I've got some
rebound candidates for you.
A few of the groomsmen
are single.
-So...
-[Hazel] Nadine.
-Oh. [chuckles]
-Let me breathe.
-That's a no.
-He's nice.
-Okay.
-Mm-mm. What is all this?
-I don't know.
-Oh, no.
My mama has one of these.
-[Liana]
It was our grandma's.
-[Hazel] Mm.
-Hey, when did you get this?
-Oh, I don't know.
Hey, take it.
-No, no.
Clearly, she knew
that you were gonna put it
to better use, so...
-Liana?
-What?
-It's not like I've been
hiding it from you.
-I didn't say that you were.
-Hazel, we should probably
get going to the west side.
-[Hazel] Yeah. Bye.
-Bye. Thank you
for helping me today.
-[Nadine] Anytime.
-[Sophia] Love you.
-[Hazel] I love the space.
-[Nadine] I'm proud of you.
-[Hazel]
I'll call you about yoga.
-Yeah, yeah.
[footsteps receding]
-[door hinges creak, close]
-Take the doll, Liana.
-I don't want it.
-Why are you acting this way?
Do you see that you are taking
this exciting moment in my life
and you're making it
all about you?
-What the fuck?
Did you want me
to plan my breakup
around your exciting moment?
I...
You could at least pretend
to be supportive.
-Oh, I am being supportive.
Okay, it's just that any time
that I try to give you advice,
you snap at me.
-I did not ask you for advice.
-Why are you trying
to pick a fight
with every little thing
that I say?
-I'm not trying to fight.
-Yes, you are.
God. You are messy.
Maybe this breakup
is gonna be good for you.
It's gonna give you
some perspective,
because Peter
is not the only one
that needs to get
his shit together.
-Okay.
-[Sophia] Oh, come on,
all I ever do is try to help.
-You know,
you gotta get over yourself.
[keys jingle]
[footsteps receding]
[Sophia sighs]
-[Nadine] Delete every
single picture you have
with Peter in it,
even if you look cute,
it doesn't matter.
You didn't send him
any nudes, did you?
-No.
[phone beeping]
Hey, my boss is calling.
I should really get this.
-[Nadine] Okay.
I promise you're better off.
-Thank you.
Good night.
-[Nadine] Love you.
-[exhales]
-Hello?
-[boss] Listen, Miss 1099.
I've been calling
and emailing you all day.
We lost the Melrose client
because they never
got the samples
you were supposed to send out.
What could possibly
have been more important?
-I'm sorry,
my best friend got engaged.
I told you
about this months ago.
-[boss] Oh, well,
I see a lot of free time
in your schedule now,
you little bitch,
because you're fired,
and don't think you can just go
find another job.
Oh no, no, no, no, I'm gonna
make sure no one in LA
makes the same stupid mistake
I did hiring you.
[phone beeping]
[distant vehicle revving]
-[Hazel] Ugh, I just so loved
us all being together,
and I'm so glad
I get to see you tomorrow.
Just don't be late for class,
because they really
won't let you in.
-Oh, I'm gonna be there.
-[Hazel] Okay.
-Bright and early.
-[Hazel] Good.
-Hey, maybe after we can grab
breakfast somewhere,
maybe in the Fashion District.
-[Hazel] Yeah, I'd love that.
It's a date.
-All right.
I'm looking forward to it.
-[Hazel] Yeah, me too.
I love you so much.
-Okay, bye.
-[Hazel]
Okay, see you tomorrow.

-[Hazel] Good morning, darling.
I'm on my way to the airport.
Um... Sophia ghosted me
this morning at yoga,
which really kind of
bums me out,
so I went by her place
and knocked on the door.
It's locked, but she's not
answering my phone calls,
so I don't know what I did
or if I said some,
I don't know, whatever.
But do you have a spare key?
Like, do you want to go by
and check on her
and see if she's okay?
Um, anyway, that's kind of it.
Okay. Love you. Bye.

Cars in the perimeter now.
It appears to be a suicide.
-[Nadine]
...for an entire year
that we would get
the same style cake
for our anniversary
that we had at our wedding,
and then they're just suddenly
out of business.
Anyway, so I tracked down
the lady who owned it,
and she said, "You didn't save
the top tier and freeze it?
That's the tradition."
And I said, "Lady, I don't care
what the tradition is,
I'm not gonna eat
a year old piece of cake."
But then I started crying,
and then...
that apparently worked,
because she's gonna bake
a special one for us.
-[Mark] Good.
Glad it worked out.
-[Nadine] Yeah.
-All right.
Taste test time, babe.
-[Nadine] Okay.
[classical music playing
on stereo]
-[Mark] There you go.
-Mm, yummy,
but maybe a bit more salt.
-The queen wants more salt.
[Nadine chuckling]
[Mark chuckles]
You got it.
[phone pings]
[object clanks]
[car rumbling]
[eerie music]
-[building manager] I'm so glad
you decided to come back.
I want you to make
some good memories here.
-[Liana] Thank you for keeping
and storing all of this.
-[building manager]
Yeah, of course.
The rest of it's in the back.
-Where did the mannequin
come from?
-[building manager]
I thought it was hers.
I can get rid of it,
if you'd like.
-It... it's fine.
-[building manager]
We have a new lock for the gate,
and I will get you
a code for that.
-Uh, what about
security cameras?
-[building manager] They've been
installed in the front
-and in the parking lot.
-Great.
-[building manager]
I'll be on and off the property,
but ping me anytime
for anything.
-Okay.
-All right.
[folder thuds]
-Thank you.
-Yeah, of course.

Caught my eye
-[Peter] Liana. Hi.
It's been a minute or two.
Look. I have been feeling
guilty for kind of ghosting you
for the past year,
but then I found out
you were actually
out of the country
until recently.
So, I mean, anyway,
Hazel told me
that you were back,
and you guys are,
I'm sure, getting together
for a little reunion.
Lots of stuff to talk about,
but I would love
to see you sometime,
if that's--
I'm in Hollywood now.
I got my own place near
that bakery that we went to
when I got the food poisoning.
Anyway, give me a call.
This is Peter, by the way.
...our love keeps growing
This love that...

Hello. Yes. Up here.
-[Nadine] Hey stranger,
-[Liana] Hi, so good to see you.
-I love this.
-Thank you.
It was Sophia's.
-Oh.
Wow.
You're setting it up
just like she had it?
-[Liana] Trying to.
-I parked in the lot.
-I hope that's okay.
-Mm. Totally cool.
Uh, Hazel's en route.
Can I get you
anything to drink?
-No, I'm fine.
I'll just wait
till Hazel gets here.
Yeah, she'll be really excited
to see you.
-I'm so excited to see
both of you.
-I--
-Yeah, it has been a minute.
-How's Mark?
-He's great,
and he's out of town
for work right now.
-The wedding pictures looked
so beautiful.
-Yeah, yeah.
It was a really magical day.
-[door opens]
-[Liana] Hm...
-[Hazel] Hello.
[groans] These fucking stairs.
I see Nadine is here
because I see her nice ass car.
[Liana and Nadine chuckle]
Don't worry about me, guys.
They're not heavy at all.
-[Nadine] Fine.
-Hey. About damn time.
-[Liana] I missed you.
-I've missed you too, Li.
-Dine!
-Haze!
-Oh, my God.
You look positively rich.
-Um, can I--
can I offer you a drink?
-Sure.
-Great.
There was a clearance sale.
-[Nadine] Hm.
-[Liana hums]
-[Hazel]
Well, what are you having?
-Ros.
Are you still a ros gal?
-Yeah, ros all day.
-Ros it is, baby.
When I was in Italy,
I kept saying ros
instead of
[speaks in Italian]--
-Alice Baldwin.
[wine pouring]
[distant siren wailing]
-What?
-The mannequin.
[distant siren wailing]
[Nadine]
The name Sophia gave her.
-Yeah, right.
[wine pouring]
[bottle thuds]
[Liana] Poured with love,
just for my girls.
-So you're living here?
-For now.
I--I think I mentioned it
in the email,
but I--I got accepted
to the Fashion Institute, so...
-[Nadine] Yeah, congratulations.
-[Hazel] Yeah.
Sophia would be really proud.
-Thank you. Yeah, yeah.
I thought I would just,
like, get it
back up and running
like she had it.
You know,
before semester starts.
-Well, welcome back.
It's been a while.
-Yeah. Um...
I thought that we could,
like, order food, catch up.
[chuckles]
No. So then...
then we get to the actual
massage part,
which was fine at first,
but then he tells me
to flip over.
-Like, on your back?
-[Liana] Yeah.
Like, I'm getting my tits
massaged, dude.
[Nadine laughs]
-[Liana]
Anyway, moral of the story--
-Get an Italian boob massage
next time I'm in Milan.
-Yes, yes!
-[Nadine] Yeah. Yes!
[Nadine and Liana chuckling]
-I don't know, it kind of sounds
like harassment to me,
but like,
did you want that to happen?
Like, did you fuck afterwards?
-Where do I begin? I--
-No. What the fuck are we even
talking about, Liana?
-[Nadine] Hazel.
-No, Nadine.
She is talking about traveling
to Europe to grieve
and get her boobs massaged.
So that's what
we can talk about?
We can talk about boob massages
and TV shows
and new restaurants?
-Hazel.
-We came here to talk
about Sophia because we thought,
"Oh, she's finally
able to talk about Sophia."
But I guess not.
I guess people just deal
with things differently--
-No, no.
Hazel, don't be like that.
-I'm gonna take a walk.
-You are upset.
Let's just--
let's talk about it.
-I want you to own
that you have been ignoring us
after you just vanished
to Italy,
and we never
fucking hear from you.
-I was fucking grieving.
It had nothing to do with you--
-[Hazel] You know, I understand
that you were handling things
in the best way
that you know how,
and no, you are not responsible
for our feelings, but--
-[Liana] I'm sorry.
-She was our friend too.
-She was my sister.
-I'm sorry.
I know I just--
-[Liana] Oh, God.
-But why here?
It doesn't make any sense
to me why you would want
to come back to this place.
-It doesn't have
to make sense to you.
I'm the one that needs
to be here.
-You need to be here?
-Yes. I want...
I know that you're going
to think it's fucking stupid,
but I haven't felt
her presence since--
-Okay, but it really hurts
when your maid of honor
ghosts you before your wedding.
I'm sorry
I couldn't be there for you.
-I know.
That's not what
I'm upset about.
I just wanted to hear something,
anything at all, Liana,
especially when we were there
for you.
-[Liana gulps]
-I [clears throat]
I could have handled things
differently.
-Um... we all could have
handled things differently.
-[Nadine] Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?
-Feel like after today,
she needs some company.
She won't say that, but--
-All right, well,
just give me a call
if you change your mind.
You know I've got a comfy bed
with your name on it.
-I missed you.
-I missed you too.
-I'm so happy
we're all back together,
even if briefly...
-Yep... yeah.
-Well, text me
when you get home.
-Of course.
-Okay.
-[smooches]
-Okay, love you.
-Bye.
[distant siren wailing]
[footfalls]
[exhales]
[distant footsteps]
-[Liana] Hazel.
Look what I found.
-Oh, [chuckles] I like that.
[scraping]
[Hazel] I mean, I had no idea
you could draw like this.
Like these are,
these are really good.
-Those are Sophia's.
-[Hazel] These drawings?
-Yeah, I might have used
some of her stuff
for my portfolio.
-To get into the program?
-[Liana] Mm.
-Naughty girl.
-I was just never
as good as her.
-That is not true.
You have great style.
Don't think twice.
-Kinda just wanna finish
what she started.
-I mean, if it's what you want,
then you will.
-[Liana] Hey, hold these.
-[Hazel] Oh.
-We gotta give Alice Baldwin
some clothes.
-[Hazel] Ooh, all right.
Rock on.
[gentle music on stereo]
-Ooh. Ma'am.
[gentle music on stereo]
Okay.
-Hmm. Looking good, Alice.
-Right?
And the way
That you hold me...
-Oh. These ruffles.
So Sophia.
-Right?
[footsteps approaching]
You heard that, right?
-[Hazel] Mm-hm.
[stereo static]
...our kind of love
Our very special kind ...
[scoffs] These old buildings.
I don't...
-What?
- I've been searching for
Just--that happened
last night, too.
-The sound?
[stereo static]
[dramatic strings]
-Damn it!
-[Liana] Oh, my...
-[Hazel] Oh, my God,
this scared the shit out of me.
-Uh, I don't know.
-That's weird.
-I don't know.

Hazel.
What are you doing?
Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!
-[Hazel gasping]
[Hazel screams]
-[PA] Doctor Lee, to ICU.
Doctor Lee, to ICU.
-So you can't remember
anything she said last night
after I left?
-What do you mean?
-Like, something that explains
her frame of mind.
-[PA] Doctor Samuel, 340.
-No.
-[PA] Doctor Samuel,
please call 340.
-I've been googling--
-Can we wait just one minute
before we start diagnosing her?
-Fine.
We just can't leave her alone.
-We won't.
[pensive music]
-[Hazel] I... don't know
what to say.
Um... I... don't...
know how to explain it.
I, um...
I think I was
having a bad dream.
I could hear your voice,
but it was like I was...
stuck between two places,
and then the pain got so bad
that--just, like, the blood
and I'm so sorry.
-For what?
-For what you saw.
I... It was so terrible.
-It was so terrible--
-Maybe you were sleepwalking.
Parasomnia pseudo-suicide
is apparently a real thing.
-I don't think I'm suicidal--
-[Nadine] I know,
but I think you are avoiding
some sort of unresolved trauma.
-Unresolved trauma?
-[Nadine] I am sorry, Hazel.
-[Hazel] I'm not suicidal.
I am terrified I'm going
to end up like her.
-Okay, no, I know.
I'm sorry.
I just want to help you.
Maybe let's just get
a good night's sleep.
-And figure out where to help--
-I don't think you're crazy...
or suicidal.
Sophia wouldn't have done
that to herself either.
-Okay. Liana, just stop.
-[Hazel] What are you saying?
-[Nadine] This is too much.
-What's too much, Nadine?
-I knew it was a bad
idea for you to stay there.
[Liana gulps]
Okay.
-What are you doing?
Nadine, are you serious?
What the fuck is your problem?!
[cork pops]
[wine pouring]
Oh, my... [scoffs]
Okay. You having fun there?
What the fuck are you doing?
-I say this as a friend
who loves you dearly.
You have a drinking problem.
-What are you talking about?
-You go through
three bottles a day.
-No, I don't!
We are all drinking!
- I get it. You have to grieve,
but this isn't the way
to do it--
-Fuck you. Fuck you!
I drink because
it helps me sleep.
-Well, I am cutting you off.
-You are unhinged!
I am not an alcoholic!
She is not crazy!
-Okay, okay, okay. Stop.
[phone vibrating]
Who is it?
-It's the building manager.
Hello?
-[building manager] Liana?
-Hi. Yeah, thank you
for calling me back.
-[building manager] Of course,
I listened to your voicemail.
Security wasn't notified
of anything last night,
but I can check the cameras
and let you know
if I see anything.
-That would be great.
-[building manager] Okay then,
I'll let you know.
-Okay, thank you.
-[Nadine] Liana,
I will help you move
Sophia's things into storage,
and you can crash here
until you find a new place.
I think that
is the best thing to do.
-Thank you
for your endless wisdom.
-All right,
I'm going to go to bed.
I love you.
[door opens]
[operatic music]
[Liana sobbing]
-Take--take the guest bed.
I'll--I'll sleep on the couch.
-I'm fine.
[Hazel sighs]
-Hazel.
Can I tell you something?
-Yeah.
-I saw her...
-Huh?
-...the other night.
A sewing machine
turned on, and...
she was right there,
just... working away.
Hazel...
there's something wrong...
in that building.
-[Hazel] You don't think...
Sophia killed herself?

-[nurse]
Eighty-three minutes.
-[doctor] All right.
Don't forget
to sterilize the ring.
She's probably gonna want
to keep that.
-They couldn't save
my ring finger.
They had to replace it
with my index.
-Oh, honey.
-What am I gonna tell Mark?
[door closes]
-You can tell him that you will
be able to use your hand again.
-You didn't lose any fingers.
-She's just trying to help.
-Shut up, Hazel.
-I didn't say anything.
-You know
who might be able to help?
[pensive music]
Hi.
[lighter clicks]
-When did you start
smoking again?
-I didn't.
[cigarette sizzles]
-It's good to see you.
-You too.
I feel really crazy
calling you about this.
-Don't.
Did you, uh, get that
when you started staying there?
-Yeah, all three of us,
we're not really sure
what it's from.
-Liana...
If I had known
where your sister's loft was,
I would have done
everything I could
to stop you from going back.
I heard a few stories,
but it wasn't until I did
my own research that...
All right, the building
was first built in 1923.
It was first used
as a mannequin factory,
but it wasn't until the 1950s
where things
took a more nefarious turn.
Owned by the Bernard family
for the last 100 years,
it was used
as a photography studio
operated by photographer
Jack Bernard.
[dramatic strings]
[camera shutter clicks]
In 1955, catalog model
Ruth Calvert went missing.
[footfalls]
-[curtain clatters]
-[Ruth] Mister Bernard.
-[Peter] The body was found
in a dumpster...
-[Ruth] Jack?
[gasps deeply]
-[knife clanks]
-[Ruth gurgling in blood]
-[Peter] ...decapitated.
1964. Mindy Jenkins.
[camera shutter clicks]
Also went missing.
[Mindy screaming]
Her body was found...
-...her arms severed.
-[Mindy screaming]
-[Peter] 1972, another model.
Carol Richards.
-Also found dead.
-[Carol screaming]
Her legs severed.
[axe clanks]
[Peter]
Bernard became a suspect,
but was never charged
for the murders.
[Carol screaming]
-[Peter] Police could never
find those missing body parts,
and rumors swirled
he'd keep the body parts
to remember the crime,
his victim's beauty,
or something else.
We'll probably never know
why he did it.
But in 1999,
his crimes
finally caught up to him
when his DNA linked him
to the three murders.
His family found him
in the building.
He put a gun to his head...
-[gunshot]
- ...and blew his brains out.
I believe
what is happening to you
and what maybe happened
with Sophia
might be correlated
with Bernard.
-Wait, so you're saying
that a dead serial killer
is doing this to us?
-Yes. And I want
to try and help.
-Sorry.
Do you have a PhD in ghostology
or something now?
-Ignore her.
She just lost a finger.
So how can you help us?
-Yeah, I don't know yet exactly,
but you've all been marked,
so that connection
could possibly follow you.
There's no hiding from it.
So if we're gonna
break that link,
I think going back
to the building
and investigating it
would be the first step.
-I'm not going back there.
-I know how it sounds--
-It sounds like
one of your stupid videos
that I want no part in.
-[Liana] Nadine.
We're obviously not safer
anywhere else.
-No way in hell I'm going back.

[gate creaking, opening]

I can do this. I can do this.

Okay, come out now!
-What is going on?
-Quickly!
-[Liana] What happened?
-[Peter]
Please, just trust me.
Inside the circle.
Okay, do not cross this barrier
until I tell you
that it's safe to do so.
-[Hazel] Why?
-Peter, what are we doing?
-We are going to provoke
and trigger the spirits
with prayer.
-I'm not doing
anything like that.
[mannequin creaks, thuds]

Okay, I'm out of here.
-No, do not cross that circle!

-How did I get so lucky?
-So what got you into fashion?
-Oh, God, she and I were always
making clothes growing up.

-Shut up. Really?
-Really, February Fashion Week
in Milan.
-Oh, my god!
-I'm gonna show you around.
We can have
sister bonding time.
-Okay, okay.
How much were the tickets?
-Let me pay for mine.
-Oh, my God, no, no.
Call it this
year's birthday gift...
and Christmas.
-Okay.
-[Sophia] Okay.
-Okay, whatever.
Chill...
Thank you. Oh.
-And hey, maybe seven months
is enough time
to get you
some time off work. Huh?
-Aw. That's optimistic.
[footfalls]
-[Liana] Oh shit.
Am I gonna need
to learn Italian?
-[Sophia] Dio mio.
We'll be in Italy for ten days.
[unsettling music]
-Babe. You ready?
-[male host] That's got to be
the ghost of Sinclair- -
That's got to be the ghost
of Sinclair Fletcher,
Winifred's son, who
died in the basement.
[repeats] son who died in the--
-[keys jangle]
-[Liana] Oh.
-...got to be the ghost
of Sinclair--
[phone beeps]
-[Liana] Hi.
-Hi. How are ya?
-Hi. Good.
Hey, didn't we talk about this?
-[Peter] Oh, I know.
I'm sorry--
-Yeah. Why can't you do this
at your place?
-The roomie's got friends
in town again.
I was--I was gonna have
all this cleaned up
by the time you got home.
Just 15 more minutes.
-We have to go in like ten.
-Okay, all right,
I promise I'm just, like,
one more take
and I'm ready to go.
I just gotta take
the shirt off.
-Come here.
-[Peter] Oh.
-Do you not check yourself
before you go on camera?
-Thank you.
-[Liana] Hurry up.
-Okay, promise.
-[Peter sighs]
-[door opens, closes]
[phone beeps]
Three, two, one.
To all my Sherlock homeys
out there tonight,
I am your Watson
as we investigate
one of Orange County's
most haunted buildings.
[eerie ambient music]
-[overlapping chatter]
-[glass clinking]
-[Nadine] Can I get everyone's
attention, please?
I just want to thank everyone
so much for coming
and even flying
all the way here
to celebrate me
and my beautiful new home.
-[female guest] Really?
-[Nadine chuckles]
-[Nadine] I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding.
[laughter]
Honestly, it really means a lot
to me that you are all here
to share our special moment.
-[Hazel] She's so cute.
-[Nadine] And to Mark.
Thank you for having loved
and supported me
the last three years,
and he's still willing
to deal with me
for the rest of our lives.
-[laughter]
-[female guest] Yes!
-I love you, babe.
Cheers.
Cheers!

[upbeat party music]
[indistinct party chatter]
-[Peter] My father,
he's filming the priest, right?
As the priest is trying
to finish up his prayer,
and he's got his hand
over the girl's head,
and her body is convulsing
under him, right?
I mean, you can tell
my dad's terrified.
The camera's all shaky,
and then out of nowhere,
-bam!
-[woman gasps]
Her eyes just "oh" shoot
into the back of her head,
and she just starts vomiting up
all this like mucus and snot.
I mean, you name it.
It is coming out of her.
And--no, it's true.
-How many times
have you heard this story?
-I've lost count.
[distant woman laughing]
-[guests] Cheers!
-[glasses clinking]
-So happy for them.
-You can really see the leash
and collar on Mark's neck.
-You know he's into that.
-Actually, have you been
with a mustache that big?
Ooh, baby. All night...
-Hey, you should get Peter
to grow you one.
-The only hair he grows
is on his back.
-Well, I do love
a luscious mane of back hair.
[phone vibrates]
-Is he calling you again?
-What? Who is?
-This is insane, right?
I'm just gonna quit.
-No--hey, hey, hey.
Let's put the phone down
and take a breath.
-You're supposed
to work tonight?
-[Liana] Yes, but he's known
about this for months.
-Oh.
-[Liana] I'm done.
-Hey, I get it. I get it. Okay?
But you've had a couple
of drinks tonight.
Why don't we just
put the phone down
and not be too hasty?
[female guest] Thank you so much
for coming.
-Can I have a puff?
-Yeah. You want your own?
-No, these things kill people.
-Okay.
-[Hazel] Hi.
-[Nadine] So sorry.
I've been all over the place.
I gotta make the rounds,
you know?
-Mm-hm.
-I love this.
-It's not too much?
-[Nadine] No.
-It's not a red cocktail dress.
-[laughs] No, it's not.
-I know it's a little early,
but we have to talk
bridesmaids' dresses soon.
I've been imagining shades
of green, pink, yellow,
blue, purple, pinkish reds.
-That's a lot of colors.
-[Nadine] Mm-hm.
-[Hazel scoffs]
-Oh, wait!
Tell her about the new workspace
you snagged.
-Oh, my God.
It's in downtown, right?
The abandoned building?
-It's not abandoned anymore,
though.
It's totally redone.
It's a huge, creative space.
-I'm so impressed.
Business, investment...
Two leases?
Next is a mortgage.
-Nadine... that rock!
-I know it's really big.
-Girl! Show that ice off.
-[Hazel] Well done, Mark.
-He's such a good boy.
[Nadine laughs]
-Hey, you're next.
Yeah, y'all wife up.
I'll be over here
enjoying my smorgasbord.
-[Sophia laughs]
-[Hazel] Mm. I like him.
-He's been looking at you
all night.
-[Nadine] He's single.
-[Peter] People just cannot get
enough of my stories.
Nadine's aunt was really
into the exorcism bit.
Can you ask around
for her email?
I can send her some links
or something.
I'm excited for Sophia.
Which building is it again?
-Somewhere in downtown.
-[Peter]
That sister of yours.
Damn, she's crushin' it.
Hey, we should do
a double date night
with Mark and Nadine.
That'd be fun. Yeah?
[wine pouring]
You know,
seeing them tonight...
just kind of got me thinking--
I don't know--
what it would be like
for maybe... us
to start living together.
I mean,
I'm here all the time anyways.
Yeah?
Liana?
You okay?
-[sighs] I'm just not
feeling great right now.
-[Peter] What's wrong?
-Us.
-[Hazel] You made him cry?
-So are you guys, like, done,
or is this just a break?
-[Liana] I don't know.
-Well, I wouldn't have moved in
with Mark
unless I knew he was the one,
you know?
-[Sophia] Yeah, but maybe
after two years
you don't know for sure.
-How would you know?
You haven't even dated
since prom.
-[Hazel] Slinging shots?
-[Nadine] Don't worry, Li.
We're gonna find you a man
with a real job.
-[Hazel] Oh, there's
no such thing anymore.
-[Sophia] Yeah, and at least
he's doing something
that he loves.
Maybe this is a really good
opportunity for you--
focus on yourself
and your own goals.
-Oh, you mean, like,
be more like you?
-[Sophia] No, I--I--
-Look, I am perfectly happy
with my life choices.
Just back off.
-[Sophia] Oh, right, because
you're never not complaining
about your life choices.
-Okay, ding, ding.
Everybody in their corners.
-[woman] Bitch, you didn't say
there'd be stairs.
-Come up.
-There's no elevator?
-Watch your step here.
Okay? Come on.
-Workout.
-[Sophia chuckles]
-What?
-[Sophia] I know.
-This is huge.
-[Sophia] I know.
[box thuds, objects clank]
-[Sophia] Come in.
-Oh, sorry.
-[Sophia] Oh, God.
Yeah.
-[Nadine] Are you kidding
with those windows?
-[Hazel] Yeah, [indistinct].
-[Nadine]
Aah, the natural light.
-[Hazel] Oh, my God.
-[Sophia] Yeah.
It's kind of incredible.
-[Nadine]
Wait, what's back here?
Holy shit.
I thought that
was a real person.
-[Hazel] Oh yeah.
-Oh, she's naked.
-Oh...
-[Nadine] Sophia,
you better give me this.
-[Sophia] Oh yeah,
that'd look cute on you.
-[Nadine] I know.
-[Sophia chuckles]
-So where'd you get this?
-Oh, God,
she was already here.
Yeah. Strong shoulders,
tight waist.
It's very 1950s.
-What are you gonna name her?
-Alice Baldwin.
-Oh.
-[Sophia] Mm.
-[Nadine] Gross.
-[Sophia laughs]
-You are too much.
-[Hazel]
So how was last night?
-[Nadine] Ah, I came.
-[Hazel] Yes, I know, I know.
So I've been having this thing
right where, like I can--
[faint chatter]
[eerie ambient music]
[music intensifies]
[background chatter]
-Okay, I've got some
rebound candidates for you.
A few of the groomsmen
are single.
-So...
-[Hazel] Nadine.
-Oh. [chuckles]
-Let me breathe.
-That's a no.
-He's nice.
-Okay.
-Mm-mm. What is all this?
-I don't know.
-Oh, no.
My mama has one of these.
-[Liana]
It was our grandma's.
-[Hazel] Mm.
-Hey, when did you get this?
-Oh, I don't know.
Hey, take it.
-No, no.
Clearly, she knew
that you were gonna put it
to better use, so...
-Liana?
-What?
-It's not like I've been
hiding it from you.
-I didn't say that you were.
-Hazel, we should probably
get going to the west side.
-[Hazel] Yeah. Bye.
-Bye. Thank you
for helping me today.
-[Nadine] Anytime.
-[Sophia] Love you.
-[Hazel] I love the space.
-[Nadine] I'm proud of you.
-[Hazel]
I'll call you about yoga.
-Yeah, yeah.
[footsteps receding]
-[door hinges creak, close]
-Take the doll, Liana.
-I don't want it.
-Why are you acting this way?
Do you see that you are taking
this exciting moment in my life
and you're making it
all about you?
-What the fuck?
Did you want me
to plan my breakup
around your exciting moment?
I...
You could at least pretend
to be supportive.
-Oh, I am being supportive.
Okay, it's just that any time
that I try to give you advice,
you snap at me.
-I did not ask you for advice.
-Why are you trying
to pick a fight
with every little thing
that I say?
-I'm not trying to fight.
-Yes, you are.
God. You are messy.
Maybe this breakup
is gonna be good for you.
It's gonna give you
some perspective,
because Peter
is not the only one
that needs to get
his shit together.
-Okay.
-[Sophia] Oh, come on,
all I ever do is try to help.
-You know,
you gotta get over yourself.
[keys jingle]
[footsteps receding]
[Sophia sighs]
-[Nadine] Delete every
single picture you have
with Peter in it,
even if you look cute,
it doesn't matter.
You didn't send him
any nudes, did you?
-No.
[phone beeping]
Hey, my boss is calling.
I should really get this.
-[Nadine] Okay.
I promise you're better off.
-Thank you.
Good night.
-[Nadine] Love you.
-[exhales]
-Hello?
-[boss] Listen, Miss 1099.
I've been calling
and emailing you all day.
We lost the Melrose client
because they never
got the samples
you were supposed to send out.
What could possibly
have been more important?
-I'm sorry,
my best friend got engaged.
I told you
about this months ago.
-[boss] Oh, well,
I see a lot of free time
in your schedule now,
you little bitch,
because you're fired,
and don't think you can just go
find another job.
Oh no, no, no, no, I'm gonna
make sure no one in LA
makes the same stupid mistake
I did hiring you.
[phone beeping]
[distant vehicle revving]
-[Hazel] Ugh, I just so loved
us all being together,
and I'm so glad
I get to see you tomorrow.
Just don't be late for class,
because they really
won't let you in.
-Oh, I'm gonna be there.
-[Hazel] Okay.
-Bright and early.
-[Hazel] Good.
-Hey, maybe after we can grab
breakfast somewhere,
maybe in the Fashion District.
-[Hazel] Yeah, I'd love that.
It's a date.
-All right.
I'm looking forward to it.
-[Hazel] Yeah, me too.
I love you so much.
-Okay, bye.
-[Hazel]
Okay, see you tomorrow.

-[Hazel] Good morning, darling.
I'm on my way to the airport.
Um... Sophia ghosted me
this morning at yoga,
which really kind of
bums me out,
so I went by her place
and knocked on the door.
It's locked, but she's not
answering my phone calls,
so I don't know what I did
or if I said some,
I don't know, whatever.
But do you have a spare key?
Like, do you want to go by
and check on her
and see if she's okay?
Um, anyway, that's kind of it.
Okay. Love you. Bye.

It appears to be a suicide.
-[Nadine]
...for an entire year
that we would get
the same style cake
for our anniversary
that we had at our wedding,
and then they're just suddenly
out of business.
Anyway, so I tracked down
the lady who owned it,
and she said, "You didn't save
the top tier and freeze it?
That's the tradition."
And I said, "Lady, I don't care
what the tradition is,
I'm not gonna eat
a year old piece of cake."
But then I started crying,
and then...
that apparently worked,
because she's gonna bake
a special one for us.
-[Mark] Good.
Glad it worked out.
-[Nadine] Yeah.
-All right.
Taste test time, babe.
-[Nadine] Okay.
[classical music playing
on stereo]
-[Mark] There you go.
-Mm, yummy,
but maybe a bit more salt.
-The queen wants more salt.
[Nadine chuckling]
[Mark chuckles]
You got it.

-[building manager] I'm so glad
you decided to come back.
I want you to make
some good memories here.
-[Liana] Thank you for keeping
and storing all of this.
-[building manager]
Yeah, of course.
The rest of it's in the back.
-Where did the mannequin
come from?
-[building manager]
I thought it was hers.
I can get rid of it,
if you'd like.
-It... it's fine.
-[building manager]
We have a new lock for the gate,
and I will get you
a code for that.
-Uh, what about
security cameras?
-[building manager] They've been
installed in the front
-and in the parking lot.
-Great.
-[building manager]
I'll be on and off the property,
but ping me anytime
for anything.
-Okay.
-All right.
[folder thuds]
-Thank you.
-Yeah, of course.

Caught my eye
-[Peter] Liana. Hi.
It's been a minute or two.
Look. I have been feeling
guilty for kind of ghosting you
for the past year,
but then I found out
you were actually
out of the country
until recently.
So, I mean, anyway,
Hazel told me
that you were back,
and you guys are,
I'm sure, getting together
for a little reunion.
Lots of stuff to talk about,
but I would love
to see you sometime,
if that's--
I'm in Hollywood now.
I got my own place near
that bakery that we went to
when I got the food poisoning.
Anyway, give me a call.
This is Peter, by the way.
...our love keeps growing

Hello. Yes. Up here.
-[Nadine] Hey stranger,
-[Liana] Hi, so good to see you.
-I love this.
-Thank you.
It was Sophia's.
-Oh.
Wow.
You're setting it up
just like she had it?
-[Liana] Trying to.
-I parked in the lot.
-I hope that's okay.
-Mm. Totally cool.
Uh, Hazel's en route.
Can I get you
anything to drink?
-No, I'm fine.
I'll just wait
till Hazel gets here.
Yeah, she'll be really excited
to see you.
-I'm so excited to see
both of you.
-I--
-Yeah, it has been a minute.
-How's Mark?
-He's great,
and he's out of town
for work right now.
-The wedding pictures looked
so beautiful.
-Yeah, yeah.
It was a really magical day.
-[door opens]
-[Liana] Hm...
-[Hazel] Hello.
[groans] These fucking stairs.
I see Nadine is here
because I see her nice ass car.
[Liana and Nadine chuckle]
Don't worry about me, guys.
They're not heavy at all.
-[Nadine] Fine.
-Hey. About damn time.
-[Liana] I missed you.
-I've missed you too, Li.
-Dine!
-Haze!
-Oh, my God.
You look positively rich.
-Um, can I--
can I offer you a drink?
-Sure.
-Great.
There was a clearance sale.
-[Nadine] Hm.
-[Liana hums]
-[Hazel]
Well, what are you having?
-Ros.
Are you still a ros gal?
-Yeah, ros all day.
-Ros it is, baby.
When I was in Italy,
I kept saying ros
instead of
[speaks in Italian]--
-Alice Baldwin.
[wine pouring]
[distant siren wailing]
-What?
-The mannequin.
[distant siren wailing]
[Nadine]
The name Sophia gave her.
-Yeah, right.
[wine pouring]
[bottle thuds]
[Liana] Poured with love,
just for my girls.
-So you're living here?
-For now.
I--I think I mentioned it
in the email,
but I--I got accepted
to the Fashion Institute, so...
-[Nadine] Yeah, congratulations.
-[Hazel] Yeah.
Sophia would be really proud.
-Thank you. Yeah, yeah.
I thought I would just,
like, get it
back up and running
like she had it.
You know,
before semester starts.
-Well, welcome back.
It's been a while.
-Yeah. Um...
I thought that we could,
like, order food, catch up.
[chuckles]
No. So then...
then we get to the actual
massage part,
which was fine at first,
but then he tells me
to flip over.
-Like, on your back?
-[Liana] Yeah.
Like, I'm getting my tits
massaged, dude.
[Nadine laughs]
-[Liana]
Anyway, moral of the story--
-Get an Italian boob massage
next time I'm in Milan.
-Yes, yes!
-[Nadine] Yeah. Yes!
[Nadine and Liana chuckling]
-I don't know, it kind of sounds
like harassment to me,
but like,
did you want that to happen?
Like, did you fuck afterwards?
-Where do I begin? I--
-No. What the fuck are we even
talking about, Liana?
-[Nadine] Hazel.
-No, Nadine.
She is talking about traveling
to Europe to grieve
and get her boobs massaged.
So that's what
we can talk about?
We can talk about boob massages
and TV shows
and new restaurants?
-Hazel.
-We came here to talk
about Sophia because we thought,
"Oh, she's finally
able to talk about Sophia."
But I guess not.
I guess people just deal
with things differently--
-No, no.
Hazel, don't be like that.
-I'm gonna take a walk.
-You are upset.
Let's just--
let's talk about it.
-I want you to own
that you have been ignoring us
after you just vanished
to Italy,
and we never
fucking hear from you.
-I was fucking grieving.
It had nothing to do with you--
-[Hazel] You know, I understand
that you were handling things
in the best way
that you know how,
and no, you are not responsible
for our feelings, but--
-[Liana] I'm sorry.
-She was our friend too.
-She was my sister.
-I'm sorry.
I know I just--
-[Liana] Oh, God.
-But why here?
It doesn't make any sense
to me why you would want
to come back to this place.
-It doesn't have
to make sense to you.
I'm the one that needs
to be here.
-You need to be here?
-Yes. I want...
I know that you're going
to think it's fucking stupid,
but I haven't felt
her presence since--
-Okay, but it really hurts
when your maid of honor
ghosts you before your wedding.
I'm sorry
I couldn't be there for you.
-I know.
That's not what
I'm upset about.
I just wanted to hear something,
anything at all, Liana,
especially when we were there
for you.
-[Liana gulps]
-I [clears throat]
I could have handled things
differently.
-Um... we all could have
handled things differently.
-[Nadine] Are you sure
you don't want to stay with me?
-Feel like after today,
she needs some company.
She won't say that, but--
-All right, well,
just give me a call
if you change your mind.
You know I've got a comfy bed
with your name on it.
-I missed you.
-I missed you too.
-I'm so happy
we're all back together,
even if briefly...
-Yep... yeah.
-Well, text me
when you get home.
-Of course.
-Okay.
-[smooches]
-Okay, love you.
-Bye.

-[Liana] Hazel.
Look what I found.
-Oh, [chuckles] I like that.
[scraping]
[Hazel] I mean, I had no idea
you could draw like this.
Like these are,
these are really good.
-Those are Sophia's.
-[Hazel] These drawings?
-Yeah, I might have used
some of her stuff
for my portfolio.
-To get into the program?
-[Liana] Mm.
-Naughty girl.
-I was just never
as good as her.
-That is not true.
You have great style.
Don't think twice.
-Kinda just wanna finish
what she started.
-I mean, if it's what you want,
then you will.
-[Liana] Hey, hold these.
-[Hazel] Oh.
-We gotta give Alice Baldwin
some clothes.
-[Hazel] Ooh, all right.
Rock on.

-Ooh. Ma'am.

That you hold me...

-Right?

-Uh, I don't know.
-That's weird.
-I don't know.

-[Liana] Hazel.
[Liana clears throat]
[electricity crackles]
[Liana] Hazel.
What are you doing?
[object clanking]
Hazel.
What are you doing?
Oh, my God!
-Oh, my God!
-[Hazel gasping]
[Hazel screams]
-[PA] Doctor Lee, to ICU.
Doctor Lee, to ICU.
-So you can't remember
anything she said last night
after I left?
-What do you mean?
-Like, something that explains
her frame of mind.
-[PA] Doctor Samuel, 340.
-No.
-[PA] Doctor Samuel,
please call 340.
-I've been googling--
-Can we wait just one minute
before we start diagnosing her?
-Fine.
We just can't leave her alone.
-We won't.
[pensive music]
-[Hazel] I... don't know
what to say.
Um... I... don't...
know how to explain it.
I, um...
I think I was
having a bad dream.
I could hear your voice,
but it was like I was...
stuck between two places,
and then the pain got so bad
that--just, like, the blood
and I'm so sorry.
-For what?
-For what you saw.
I... It was so terrible.
-It was so terrible--
-Maybe you were sleepwalking.
Parasomnia pseudo-suicide
is apparently a real thing.
-I don't think I'm suicidal--
-[Nadine] I know,
but I think you are avoiding
some sort of unresolved trauma.
-Unresolved trauma?
-[Nadine] I am sorry, Hazel.
-[Hazel] I'm not suicidal.
I am terrified I'm going
to end up like her.
-Okay, no, I know.
I'm sorry.
I just want to help you.
Maybe let's just get
a good night's sleep.
-And figure out where to help--
-I don't think you're crazy...
or suicidal.
Sophia wouldn't have done
that to herself either.
-Okay. Liana, just stop.
-[Hazel] What are you saying?
-[Nadine] This is too much.
-What's too much, Nadine?
-I knew it was a bad
idea for you to stay there.
[Liana gulps]
Okay.
-What are you doing?
Nadine, are you serious?
What the fuck is your problem?!
[cork pops]
[wine pouring]
Oh, my... [scoffs]
Okay. You having fun there?
What the fuck are you doing?
-I say this as a friend
who loves you dearly.
You have a drinking problem.
-What are you talking about?
-You go through
three bottles a day.
-No, I don't!
We are all drinking!
- I get it. You have to grieve,
but this isn't the way
to do it--
-Fuck you. Fuck you!
I drink because
it helps me sleep.
-Well, I am cutting you off.
-You are unhinged!
I am not an alcoholic!
She is not crazy!
-Okay, okay, okay. Stop.
[phone vibrating]
Who is it?
-It's the building manager.
Hello?
-[building manager] Liana?
-Hi. Yeah, thank you
for calling me back.
-[building manager] Of course,
I listened to your voicemail.
Security wasn't notified
of anything last night,
but I can check the cameras
and let you know
if I see anything.
-That would be great.
-[building manager] Okay then,
I'll let you know.
-Okay, thank you.
-[Nadine] Liana,
I will help you move
Sophia's things into storage,
and you can crash here
until you find a new place.
I think that
is the best thing to do.
-Thank you
for your endless wisdom.
-All right,
I'm going to go to bed.
I love you.
[door opens]
[operatic music]
[Liana sobbing]
-Take--take the guest bed.
I'll--I'll sleep on the couch.
-I'm fine.
[Hazel sighs]
-Hazel.
Can I tell you something?
-Yeah.
-I saw her...
-Huh?
-...the other night.
A sewing machine
turned on, and...
she was right there,
just... working away.
Hazel...
there's something wrong...
in that building.
-[Hazel] You don't think...
Sophia killed herself?
[sobs]
[sips then gulps]
[sniffs]
Li?
-I'm okay.
[Liana sobbing]
[insects chirping]
[sinister music]
[water flowing]

-[Hazel] Li?
[clattering and clanking]
Li?
[knife slicing]
Oh, Nadine?
[dramatic strings]
No, no. No, don't!
No! Stop! [sobs]
[suspenseful music]
Stop!
[muffled] Stop! Stop!
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[knife thuds, clanks]
[Hazel gasping]
[menacing music]
-[grinding]
-[screaming]
[both screaming]
[heart monitor beeping]
-[doctor]
What's the tourniquet time?
-[nurse]
Eighty-three minutes.
-[doctor] All right.
Don't forget
to sterilize the ring.
She's probably gonna want
to keep that.
-They couldn't save
my ring finger.
They had to replace it
with my index.
-Oh, honey.
-What am I gonna tell Mark?
[door closes]
-You can tell him that you will
be able to use your hand again.
-You didn't lose any fingers.
-She's just trying to help.
-Shut up, Hazel.
-I didn't say anything.
-You know
who might be able to help?
[pensive music]
Hi.
[lighter clicks]
-When did you start
smoking again?
-I didn't.
[cigarette sizzles]
-It's good to see you.
-You too.
I feel really crazy
calling you about this.
-Don't.
Did you, uh, get that
when you started staying there?
-Yeah, all three of us,
we're not really sure
what it's from.
-Liana...
If I had known
where your sister's loft was,
I would have done
everything I could
to stop you from going back.
I heard a few stories,
but it wasn't until I did
my own research that...
All right, the building
was first built in 1923.
It was first used
as a mannequin factory,
but it wasn't until the 1950s
where things
took a more nefarious turn.
Owned by the Bernard family
for the last 100 years,
it was used
as a photography studio
operated by photographer
Jack Bernard.
[dramatic strings]
[camera shutter clicks]
In 1955, catalog model
Ruth Calvert went missing.
[footfalls]
-[curtain clatters]
-[Ruth] Mister Bernard.
-[Peter] The body was found
in a dumpster...
-[Ruth] Jack?
[gasps deeply]
-[knife clanks]
-[Ruth gurgling in blood]
-[Peter] ...decapitated.
1964. Mindy Jenkins.
[camera shutter clicks]
Also went missing.
[Mindy screaming]
Her body was found...
-...her arms severed.
-[Mindy screaming]
-[Peter] 1972, another model.
Carol Richards.
-Also found dead.
-[Carol screaming]
Her legs severed.
[axe clanks]
[Peter]
Bernard became a suspect,
but was never charged
for the murders.
[Carol screaming]
-[Peter] Police could never
find those missing body parts,
and rumors swirled
he'd keep the body parts
to remember the crime,
his victim's beauty,
or something else.
We'll probably never know
why he did it.
But in 1999,
his crimes
finally caught up to him
when his DNA linked him
to the three murders.
His family found him
in the building.
He put a gun to his head...
-[gunshot]
- ...and blew his brains out.
I believe
what is happening to you
and what maybe happened
with Sophia
might be correlated
with Bernard.
-Wait, so you're saying
that a dead serial killer
is doing this to us?
-Yes. And I want
to try and help.
-Sorry.
Do you have a PhD in ghostology
or something now?
-Ignore her.
She just lost a finger.
So how can you help us?
-Yeah, I don't know yet exactly,
but you've all been marked,
so that connection
could possibly follow you.
There's no hiding from it.
So if we're gonna
break that link,
I think going back
to the building
and investigating it
would be the first step.
-I'm not going back there.
-I know how it sounds--
-It sounds like
one of your stupid videos
that I want no part in.
-[Liana] Nadine.
We're obviously not safer
anywhere else.
-No way in hell I'm going back.
[car rumbling]
[gate creaking, opening]
[gate thuds]
[distant car revs]
[clatters]
-It's for your protection.
Okay.
Wait here.
I'm gonna walk the perimeter,
and I'm going to clear the area.
[device beeping]
[car door closes]
[device beeping]
-Here.
[distant device beeping]
-[Hazel] So what does
the beeping mean?
-He's told me a thousand times,
but I can't remember.

-Mm.
-Ugh.
-Or a boob massage.
[Hazel chuckles]
[Nadine laughs]

-Is Jack Bernard present?
[trash bag rustling]
[Peter]
Is Jack Bernard present?
Is Jack Bernard present?
Is Jack Bernard present?

What?
[camera shutter clicks]
Go in the back room.
Now!
[faint phone beeps, clicks]

Who's coming up the stairs?
-[phone beeps, clicks]
-[Peter shudders]
You are not welcome here.
[phone beeps, clicks]
You are not welcome here.
You have to leave!

-What happened?
-[Peter] Okay. Okay.
[liquid dripping]
-[Liana] What are you doing?
[dramatic strings]
What are you doing?!
-It's holy water.
Just--just--
-Peter!
-I need you to stay here
until I tell you.
[dramatic music]
[whispering] I can do this.
I can do this.
I can do this. I can do this.
I can do this.
-Oh, my God.
[Peter panting]
[whispering] Okay, okay.
Okay, come out now!
-What is going on?
-Quickly!
-[Liana] What happened?
-[Peter]
Please, just trust me.
Inside the circle.
Okay, do not cross this barrier
until I tell you
that it's safe to do so.
-[Hazel] Why?
-Peter, what are we doing?
-We are going to provoke
and trigger the spirits
with prayer.
-I'm not doing
anything like that.
[mannequin creaks, thuds]
[all scream]
Okay, I'm out of here.
-No, do not cross that circle!
-Why?
-Because it isn't safe!
[tense music]
You all have to trust me.
[all gasping]
Ow. Fuck.
-[Nadine] This is not sanitary.
-[Peter] Okay, okay.
[Peter clears throat]
Okay, okay.
Princeps gloriosissime
caelestis militiae,
sancte Michael Archangele,
defende nos in proelio adversus
principes et potestates,
adversus mundi rectores
tenebrarum harum,
contra spiritalia nequitiae,
in caelestibus....
Veni in auxilium hominum,
quos Deus ad imaginem
similitudinis suae fecit,
et a tyrannide diaboli

Oh, thank you,
Lord Almighty God...
I ask you to loose the anointing
upon Liana, Nadine, and Hazel...
-[phone beeps, clicks]

Lord, let that anointing
penetrate them right now!
Te custodem et patronum sancta

Declare yourself!
Who are you? Who are you?!
Don't hide from me...
Show yourself!
Girls, repeat after me.
I renounce!
-I renounce.
-Opening my mind...
-Opening my mind...
-To the demonic realms!
-To the demonic realms...

get out of them!
In the name of Jesus Christ...
Loosen yourself!
I command you, leave!
[intense music]
[girls sobbing, gasping]
-[Hazel] What now?
-[Nadine] Did it work?
-We have to chop it up
and burn it.
-What?

Okay, okay, back up. Back up.

There's...
There's fucking body parts
in this!
-What?!

[Nadine]
This is some satanic shit,
and I'm out of here.
-No, no, no, no!
[sinister strings]
It's not safe to leave yet.
-Get the fuck out of my way!
-No.

-[door hinges creak, close]
-So my family has been managing
and keeping up
the property for years.
We've preserved
its historic character
while bringing the utilities
and such up to date.
Plenty of sunlight and
space to be creative.
-[new tenant]
It's the perfect photo studio.
-[Jack III] That's why my
grandfather bought the building
back in the 30s
to use for his photo shoots.
You know,
I'm a writer-director myself,
maybe we could collab sometime.
