[Neeraj] Okay.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
One second.
Tracy, can I call you back?
[Neeraj] Sorry about that.
Thank you for everything
you're doing here.
We just moved practices.
I didn't know what
I was getting myself into.
[chuckles]
I guess foot doctors
aren't so clean after all.
Do you want me to help
you with that?
-Uh... No, it's...
-Just here?
Yeah, just, by the door.
[light music]
Awesome.
Appreciate it.
Hey, do you do home cleaning?
[Ray] What do you mean?
[Neeraj] I need someone
to clean my home.
I don't know how it works
with your company,
but I...
I would like to hire
you directly.
-[Ray] Me?
-Yes.
Name your price.
I just need some help.
Oh.
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-Wonderful.
-Sure.
Thank you. That's terrific.
Let me give you my number...
Here.
Oh, there. There it is.
It's on the sign.
[Neeraj]
It'll light up when it's done.
[water running]
[Ray] It's like
early Destiny's Child.
Remember when everybody
used to be honey blond.
It looks good.
It looks real good.
[Ray] Now, how you
gonna tell somebody
it looks good with a
straight face?
Because I actually believe that.
Kay-Kay. Kay-Kay.
What do you think about my hair?
You like it?
Ooh, rude!
Why did you
make your hair orange?
[Ray] It's not orange.
[Marielle]
We need to work on that.
[laughing]
Oh, you just turn on
the TV and you'll be fine.
[Vera] Baby, I got these kids.
Thanks Vera, I owe you one.
[Vera] Enjoy yourself.
-Good night.
-[door closes]
[King playing]
[Feel playing]
[inaudible]
[Decay playing]
[Ray] I could fall
asleep standing up.
[Mari]
I bet you could.
[Ray] Now, I just
have to figure out
how to do my work lying down.
[Mari]
That's how it should be.
[Ray]
Yeah, be my own boss.
[vacuum whirring]
[Rascal [Superstar] playing]
All my bitches look
like money in the bank
When they see us,
they got nothing left to say
Out the bottle, sippin
on some Dom Prignon
I look forward to
the shit youll never know
[song stops]
[vacuum whirring]
[footsteps ascending stairs]
[door shutting]
[song continues]
[Neeraj] You're done?
Yeah.
[Neeraj] So...
How many hours was that?
Uh, three and a half.
Started at ten.
It's almost 1:30 now.
Okay, did you take any breaks?
No, sorry, I'm joking.
It's, uh...
[Neeraj]
What's your last name?
Martin.
Rayelle Martin.
But you can just leave it blank.
I'll fill it out.
-[Ray] Thank you.
-[Neeraj] Youre welcome.
Oh...
Wow. Thank you.
So you, uh...
Well, you met Mrs. Laich.
She likes you.
Would you...
Would you clean her house too?
Please.
I paid you for it.
-Oh.
-You don't have to, of course.
[Ray] Wow.
There it is.
Right there.
The one with the...
chicken on a compass.
[Ray] A weathervane.
[Neeraj]
A weathervane, yes.
It tells you where
the wind is coming from.
Right?
[chuckles]
Why do they need
a chicken to tell them?
[Ive Got a Secret
playing on radio]
[Radio DJ]
Hey, we all got secrets.
And Dr. J ain't
telling you nothing
unless you ask nicely.
[Dr. J laughing]
[door bell chimes
to tune of Dixie]
Hi. Uh, is Jean home?
I'm here to clean.
Jean.
Jean!
-Jean!
-[Jean] What?
Come here, please.
Jean!
Come here, please.
[Jean] I'm coming! Jesus.
Did you...
Oh!
Ahh...
You ruined your surprise.
-Come on in.
-Okay, okay. Sorry, excuse me.
[Jean]
Shes here to help me clean.
[Ed] My present?
Is this like a stripper thing?
-[Jean] Stop it.
-What's your name?
Rayelle. But Ray.
Thank you for coming, Ray.
You can go back and do
whatever you were doing.
Okay.
Can I get you anything?
No. I'm good, thank you.
[Jean] Okay, Ray and I are
just gonna get started.
Okay.
[mischievous music]
Uh...
I really don't need your help.
-You don't?
-No.
Um...
Can I just ask you,
how much do you cost?
Oh, Dr. Patel already paid,
so...
What's your rate though?
Well, it...
depends.
On what?
Um...
On the size of your house.
You know,
what you want me to do.
If you want me to
organize or just clean or...
you know, rearrange, its...
just, like, scale.
Okay, uh...
[clicking tongue]
Um...
Let's start with the bathroom.
[camera snaps]
[water swishing loudly]
[cleaner fluid sound]
Oh, sorry.
No, you're fine.
You're fine.
How's it going?
Good. Yeah.
Um, you want me
to get this room?
Uh...
[hockey announcer on TV]
A 1-0 lead with 21 seconds...
Jeans got a whole
-thing going down here.
-Okay.
So youll have to
ask her about that.
I can show you these though.
I took all of these.
-Oh, wow.
-Yeah.
-That's nice.
-Yeah.
I'm gonna get one
from all 50 states,
and there's 26 so far.
But, uh, I'm gonna
get them all before I,
you know,
leave this earth.
So how do you know
which one's from where?
Ah. Well, I...
-Here.
-Oh.
-Just...
-Right.
-Little system.
-Yeah.
You were in Pittsburgh.
Yeah, in 2000 I...
Well, I go off and
I travel a lot from work.
I'm at U.S. Steel, and
they have a place.
Oh, yeah, my dad was at Inland.
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
Yeah, the Indian guy
took over, right?
Yeah.
I mean, that was...
That was rough stuff over there.
I mean, that guy, I guess...
You know, he just didn't care.
It's all about money
with those people and...
It doesn't matter
how long youve been there
if a machine can do it.
Right?
This one's right in
front of the house.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is.
I guess it could use
a little love.
If you don't mind.
[person on TV] ...Im, like,
freaking out right now.
[TV host] Oh, and by the way,
I talk to dead people.
Being a medium,
its about connecting
people with the loved ones
theyve lost.
It's about the healing.
I'm Madeline the Medium.
Hey, can...
Can you bring me a napkin?
Yeah.
[TV continues in background]
I hate this smell.
Really? I like it.
You do?
I think it starts out all fresh,
but then it mixes
with the rest of me.
[Madeline]
It's really difficult to explain
what's happening when
I'm communicating with a spirit.
I mean, talking to the dead.
It's not an easy explanation.
A spirit likes to communicate
with what I call
a spirit dictionary,
and these are just, like...
Oh, I think there's some
glasses back here or something.
Oh, yeah, I'll throw
them in the wash.
[Madeline]
Im having it bring me back
to the time of
his passing, okay?
Do you ever watch her?
No.
[Jean]
I'm into all that voodoo stuff.
You know,
not to hurt anybody too bad.
I've always been interested in
getting someone to do
whatever I want.
[Madeline]
Her soul came through you.
Before you even found out...
[TV grows distorted]
I can do that.
Do what?
I can see things.
Hmm?
-[Jean] You can?
-Mm-hm.
[gasps]
[Ray] It can be freaky.
Like,
I might just be
out running errands, you know,
and then all of a sudden
I'll see them.
Just, like, ghostly bodies.
Wow.
[sighing]
I always wanted to have that.
[Madeline] Can I hold
your hand, if thats okay?
Okay, there seems to be
a friend here, actually.
Have you lost a friend?
Did he tip you?
No, he didn't.
Well then, it's not a gift.
Have you met his wife?
Not yet.
She's a liar.
And I don't like liars.
[exhales]
[Ray groans]
[sucking in air]
[sighing]
[moaning]
Oh, I feel something.
[ominous, piercing strings]
A presence.
[sighing]
Oh, what is that?
[mysterious music]
Someone's here.
A cousin?
-Your sister?
-[gasps]
She's saying that there is
something that's
making you happy,
and you should
just move towards it.
What does that mean?
Oh, shes sensing a...
deep sadness.
But there's also light.
She's telling you to just
move towards the light.
Okay.
I keep seeing yellow.
Oh, there's a yellow...
Something about air.
I feel air.
Just feeling air there,
humming...
Its like there's
air everywhere.
[static droning sounds]
I can't believe it.
My sister died in a
yellow dress.
Oh my God.
I cannot believe it.
She choked.
The air.
[static droning intensifies]
[static droning ends]
You are so good.
You are really, really good.
[light choral music]
[puppies yelping]
[Wiliemae] Come here.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Oh. Okay.
Okay, Bella. All right.
Mamas got to go to work.
[Willie]
What color is that?
[Ray]
It's honey blond.
-Honey blond?
-Yeah, honey blond.
[Ray] Honey blond.
It's like blond, but
it's got a little brown to it.
Was that the color
you were going for?
A hundred percent.
Its exactly what I wanted.
-Okay.
-I got it.
-So you're happy with it?
-Perfect. I love it.
Okay. Me too.
Okay. [laughing]
[Ray] Okay, well, what is
something that you wish you had?
[Willie]
To not have to go to work.
But if you gotta go to work,
whats something you
wish you had?
-More money.
-[Ray laughing]
- [Willie] Thats Marty.
-Honk at him.
-No.
[honks horn repeatedly]
[Willie laughing]
All right, I'm outta here.
[Mari in voicemail]
Hey, love.
Thanks for picking up
Ellie today.
I didn't think
I'd have to go in today,
but you know if a shift opens
up, your girls gotta take it.
I'll bring you some cupcakes.
Yeah, they'll be
chocolate this time.
Okay. I know youre not
gonna look at this
so I'll just text you.
Love you.
Thank you. I owe you.
[Kayla giggling]
[Kayla]
I think I want to see a man
with some stringy hair and
its going to stay on forever.
Ooh, I want to see a princess.
And she's so pretty.
But then she got the
head of a dragon.
[Ray]
Wait, what's gonna happen?
Now!
There! Look!
Dragon Princess!
[Dad] Im gonna
let you go, okay?
You got it.
You got it.
[Tracy Patel on phone]
Sandy?
No... he's not gonna buy.
It's a total waste of time.
-[muffled voice on other line]
-Because...
No, they're Ativan and Klonopin.
It's been that way for years,
and it's just...
[muffled voice on other line]
Because I do my research.
That's why.
Bhatta... Bhattachu...
Dr. Bhattacharya, I think.
[Tracy] Okay,
but if he makes me late
for my next meeting,
I'm just gonna leave.
[Ray] Oh, I got it.
[Tracy] Oh, no. It's okay.
I can do it.
[Ray] No, no, it's totally fine.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
[Tracy] Wow. This is
interesting.
It's what you were
talking about.
The Prisoner Dilemma.
Hello!
In 1902, Ludger Sylbaris
was jailed for life.
And the cell had no windows
and only a little strip
of ventilation.
On...
Oh, it was on your birthday.
On May 8th,
Mount Pele erupts in
what would become the
deadliest volcanic eruption
of the 20th century.
The entire town was destroyed
in less than a minute.
And the only recorded
survivor was Ludger
because he was
trapped underground
in solitary confinement.
Huh.
Well, you think
your life is over
and then the world throws you
a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Literally.
So, you know, you should just
do whatever you want
with your life.
Because in the end,
a giant volcano might erupt
and you can live your
life in peace.
Everyone will be dead.
It's not the Prisoner's Dilemma.
[Tracy sighs]
Is there anything else you need,
because I'm making a
list for Ray?
Oh, did you know that shes
working with the Laiches now?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Hey. That's great.
Your business is growing.
Is my daughter gonna
sit there all day, I wonder?
Can you take me to
Nikki's on Saturday?
Did you ask your mom?
I want to get there alive.
[Tracy]
Have you ever heard of a bus?
-Okay. I'll see you tonight.
-[Tracy] Yeah. Uh-huh.
[Tracy exhaling]
[gunk splashing]
[Dixie doorbell chiming]
Hi!
Hi.
You know, it just doesn't...
It doesn't come that easy to me.
Okay, w...
I just want to know
what you feel.
Yeah, well,
if I'd known I was
gonna do a reading,
I would have prepared.
It's sort of a process.
-Mm-hm.
-But, um...
Yeah, I mean,
if you want me to sit down
and really do it, I can.
I just have to...
Commune with the spirits.
Okay.
I mean, when you say it out
loud, it sounds silly but it...
You know, I can do it.
Okay, great.
Okay.
Hmm.
Jean, I don't mean
to be forward, but...
I do usually charge
for readings.
Oh. I'm sorry.
How much?
You know what?
You're a friend. It's...
It doesn't even matter.
-Don't even worry about it.
-No, no, I want to.
-You do?
-Mm-hm.
Okay, well then, I don't know.
Let's just...
Let's say a hundred?
Okay.
[cash register sound]
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's begin.
[rhythmic drum music]
So just
take a deep breath in
and then
close your eyes as
you let it out.
[deep breathing]
[Ray] Hmm.
I'm not...
feeling your sister.
But she was here yesterday.
Yeah. She was.
She just doesn't seem
to be with us.
-You can't feel her at all now?
-I don't. [groans]
Hmm.
No. I'm sorry.
Is there someone...
Maybe someone else that you'd
like to speak to or...
Just some sort of question
you want answered?
I don't know.
Aren't you supposed to tell me?
Yeah.
It just helps to know
what to look for.
I don't want to guide you.
I just want you to tell
me what you feel.
Yeah, I understand that.
Okay.
Okay. Let's go back into it.
Lets just do another breath.
So, in.
Mm-hm.
[Jean breathes in]
And then just let it out.
Close your eyes.
[Jean breathes out]
[rhythmic drum music]
[Ray] Oh, wow.
There's love in your life.
But it's just not...
What you want.
Oh, I'm sorry, I...
I have a feeling, but I just
dont know if I should say.
What?
Well,
there is love in your life.
There's also pain.
So this love is not
good for you.
[drums slow]
Then what should I do?
I don't know.
It's just a feeling.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[plunging toilet]
[dramatic chord]
[Willie in voicemail]
Ray, I haven't heard from you.
Can you call me or text me back?
I just need to know if you're
dropping me off tonight.
If you can't,
I need to ask somebody else,
so call me.
Also, can you pick up some eggs?
Love you.
[Sunny Patel]
No, I'm at home right now. Why?
Wait, really?
What did he say?
No shit? Okay, all right.
That's bullshit.
No, seriously, like,
dont even worry about it.
He's not going to do anything.
Hey, can you take me to
Things N More?
Uh, yeah, sure. What is that?
It's a thrift store.
You havent been?
It's great. You can get the
best deals there.
Cool.
Yeah. Just ask your dad.
No, he doesn't care.
Did you ask him?
Yeah. And I swear,
Ill literally be so fast,
I have like two things, so...
Okay, well, as long as
your dad's fine, then...
Thank you.
Seriously, he's cool with it.
[Come On Home"
playing on radio]
[Dr. J]
Listen, we all want money,
but only some of us
have the music in our hearts.
When I'm feeling down,
a good song is all I need
to get me right.
But hey,
money wouldnt hurt either.
[Dr. J laughing]
You know, I knew a lady
that I was just so crazy about.
And you know what?
I loved her.
[Come On Home"
continues playing on radio]
[Ray scoffs]
It's such a rip off.
I got 25 bucks.
I mean, they said I could do
$70 in store credit but
why would I give them
my stuff and my money?
Oh yeah, wheres my cut?
What?
I drove you here.
I should get something.
I mean, it's my stuff.
I'm just saying.
We wouldn't be here
if I didn't drive you.
Are you serious?
I should've just walked.
[crash]
[Ray] Oh fuck.
[Worker] Are you okay, ma'am?
Oh man.
[Worker #2] Wooo, insurance
aint gonna cover that.
Shit, that's bad.
I know a dude, if you need
somebody to fix that.
Thank you.
Hey, you okay?
[Ray sighs]
[breathes deeply]
[rhythmic music]
[Sunny] I mean,
you havent killed anyone.
That would be
the worst-case scenario, right?
Like, one minute
you haven't killed anyone.
And the next minute
youve hit them or...
Or you make them
fall down the stairs.
That would be
really, like, really bad
because you couldn't
just get that fixed, right?
So at least there's that.
[Ray] How do you know
I haven't killed anyone?
[Ray laughs]
[Tracy] You are gonna
listen to me.
I have nothing to
hide from you because
I don't care...
[Neeraj] Im not
listening to this.
This is just a waste of time.
[Tracy] ...that's what you do
every time. Great talk.
[Tracy] Hey, Ray.
Can you come up here?
I need your help.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Tracy]
Keep, keep, keep...
I'm not going to wear this.
Yeah.
Do you want it?
Uh, no, that's okay.
Okay, well...
Someone could use this.
So how is it over at
the Laiches?
Its good.
Good.
I bet you've got a lot of work
to do over there.
What do we think of this?
Cute.
Yeah.
Well, do you want it?
Uh, no. That's okay.
Well, this is a nice sweater.
Neeraj got it for me.
I don't...
I don't think it would fit.
Take it.
I have...
I have too many clothes.
Like, I don't even have space
for my own clothes right now.
[Tracy sighs]
No, you know,
I'm just not gonna wear it.
And it's like you hold on
to this stuff...
Okay, well, someone can
make money from that.
Yeah, Jean said
you guys really connected.
Mm-hm.
You know, I think...
I think I'm actually gonna
hang on to all of that for Sunny
because, you know, she's gonna
want it at some point.
[echoed and distant]
I can't find my blue dress.
There's just too much
shit in here.
[birds chirping]
[Willie] Hurry up...
I don't want to wait for him.
Hur...
-My lord.
-[Ray] I can't, what do I do?
Okay. I'm not gonna wait.
Just stop, stop the car.
I'll get out here. Im...
[Ray] Okay, alright, night.
Have fun!
[trancelike music]
[blender running]
[dog barking]
[phone vibrating]
[groaning]
[phone beeps]
[Willie in voicemail]
Ray,
I hope you're not picking up
because you're scared
of your mother right now.
Ive been here for 30 minutes.
You think I should walk home?
If you want to forget about me,
I'd appreciate a warning
so I can get a ride
from someone else.
[Willie sighs]
All right.
[Ray] Yeah, Mom, Im five
minutes late.
Im driving now.
[other car honking]
Fuck.
[Ray sighs]
[Ray] I fucked up.
Sorry.
[Mari laughs]
-[Ray] Mari, I'm so sorry.
-What?
-What?
-I gotta go pick my mom up.
Are you serious?
I completely forgot.
We, we talked about this.
Yeah? I'm already late.
My mom's calling me...
So you can't take them?
All right, I'll take
Ellie to school,
but I can't take Kayla.
Great. I'll just take
her to work then.
[horn honking incessantly]
Stop!
Let me take Ellie right
now and then...
I really can't deal
with this right now.
I cant either.
Im trying to tell you...
[Tracy]
God, she's so great, isn't she?
[Jean] Oh yes, yes.
Oh, I feel so grateful.
Im so relieved.
[Tracy] Me too, me too.
Yeah, you know,
I never met anybody
who had that kind of access
to other dimensions before.
[Jean] You're right. I never
thought about it that way.
[Tracy] No wonder she's
charging so much.
-Hi.
-[Ray] Hi.
Hi.
These were in the dryer.
[Tracy] God, that's Neeraj.
We were just talking about you.
Oh. How's Ed?
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
He just got the promotion.
-Oh, hey. That's great.
-Thank you.
So we're going to have
a big party on Saturday,
and I want everybody to come.
And I wanted to
ask you if you could help.
I mean, I want you to come too,
and obviously well pay you.
Um, but can you bring the
whole family?
Well, Neeraj might be working,
but I'll try and drag Sunny.
Okay, well, it's gonna go late.
He deserves it.
He's been there a long time.
Hey, just tell me when.
-I can be there.
-Oh, yes. Wait.
I wanted to tell you,
we are really excited
about your business.
Oh, yes, we are.
How do you feel right now?
Is the spirit within you?
[Jean] No, it's not a switch
that she can just
turn on and off.
-Right?
-[Ray] Right.
[Jean] It's something that
she has to feel.
Yeah, it's like I gotta be
in the right place.
You know, like the right
state of mind.
Yeah.
Right, but...
I mean, if you're going
to charge people,
then don't you sort of
have to be on their schedule?
What if I wanted to hire
you right now?
[sighs]
I guess I'm still learning.
Oh, well, let us help you.
Yeah.
We'll both pay for a reading.
[buttons clicking]
[cash register sound]
Okay.
Um...
[Ray] Jean.
Okay.
Deep breath in.
And close your eyes
as you let it out.
[exhaling]
[pensive music]
[Ray] Hmm.
There's a light.
And a path.
It's a new path.
You need to walk
towards the path.
Is there something you want
or something you got to do?
Or someone, its...
Hmm.
Uh...
Um, I don't know.
I think that um...
I'm looking forward
to Eds promotion.
No.
It's about you.
Hmm.
Theres red.
That's weird, I just see red.
Feels like it's
important to you.
[Jean] Um...
Wow. I...
I feel like you just, like,
see right through me.
Okay.
Do me.
Sure.
Hmm.
-[Tracy] What? Like this?
-Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Now take a deep breath.
[inhaling, exhaling]
Why don't you just
do it with me?
-[Tracy] Okay.
-Okay.
Deep breath in.
[inhaling]
And close your eyes
as you let it out.
[exhaling]
Oh.
[moaning]
[Ray] Okay.
[sighing]
You...
You have a darkness.
There's just a hole.
And it's empty.
Hmm.
You got to do something.
Ah, you've given up
way too much.
[dramatic chord]
Yeah. You have to, um...
Gotta find a way to
fill this hole.
[dramatic chord]
Or this darkness
is just gonna consume you.
[dramatic chord]
[musical wind chimes]
[fire crackling]
[distorted voice]
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up!
Auntie Ray! Auntie Ray!
Auntie Ray! Auntie Ray!
[fire alarm beeping]
[coughing]
[pot sizzling]
[phone beeps]
[Ray in voicemail]
Hey, Mari, I'm calling you now,
so you can't get mad at me,
but...
I'm sorry,
I can't pick the girls up today.
Im swamped.
You know, when a shift opens up,
a girls gotta take it, so...
I love you. Bye.
[vacuum whirring]
[Neeraj] Hey...
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
[Neeraj] I don't know how
to say this, but, uh...
Tracy...
Tracy left a couple...
Two days ago.
She's, she's, she's
gonna come back.
I just...
I just thought maybe
you should know.
Did she mention anything to you?
[Ray] No.
[Neeraj] Huh.
That's probably good.
[Neeraj] She just
needed some time away.
It's temporary.
[Soccer announcer]
Robby Dambrot

[broadcast continues faintly]
[treadmill beeps]
[Neeraj] Okay.
[Neeraj laughing]
Faster!
[treadmill beeps three times]
Faster!
[treadmill beeps]
[heavy thud]
[anxious percussive music]
Its probably a full house.
I think there's some
carpooling happening...
How much would you pay for that?
-Impressive.
-Right? Isnt it good?
Yes, yes.
People charge
hundreds of dollars
for arrangements like this.
-It's great.
-I could do it for a living.
You know, I think
we're gonna need a lot of ice.
Well, I have six bags of ice.
You think there's enough food?
[Ray] Yeah.
[Jean] You really need
more ice than you think.
Sometimes you think you have
enough ice and you don't.
And then all the
drinks are warm.
[Ed] I think six bags is plenty.
[Jean] But then you have
nowhere to put the ice.
I guess you could put it
outside if its cold enough.
[Jean] Is it cold enough?
Stop nibbling!
We're not going
to have enough food.
[Ed] Jean, you said there's
plenty of food, right?
Well, I...
I can get some chips, too.
[Jean] If its over 32 degrees,
the ice will melt.
[phone beeps]
[Mari in voicemail]
Hey Ray.
I know you're so busy,
so I asked your mom to watch
the kids for me.
Don't worry about calling
me back, okay? All right.
[Ill Be the Lover playing]
[Partygoer] And you're her
housekeeper, right?
-[Ray] Yeah.
-[Partygoer] You're so pretty.
[Partygoer]
But youre here as a guest?
[Ray] Both, I guess.
[Woman]
Honestly, I wish I was working.
Give me an excuse to
ignore these people.
So, youre a psychic.
Oh, I think everybody's
a little clairvoyant.
[Anita]
Oh, but youre the real deal.
You talk to the dead.
[Nikki] Do you really?
[Ray] I do.
But I have to be drunk first.
[all laughing]
[sighs]
[Man] Wow.
That looked horrible.
Yeah.
-It'll do what it needs to do.
-[Man laughs]
-See that guy?
-Yeah.
He told me he's
going through a breakup.
-Oh yeah?
-Mm-hm.
And he told me that he
sneaks into his ex's house
and leaves little things around
so shell think it's a sign
they should get back together.
He did not.
Oh yeah.
[Ray laughing]
[Ray]
Okay, so whos he's talking to?
[Man] Oh, that's his
girlfriend now.
But, uh...
[whispering]
But he's not really into her.
-He's not?
-Mm-mm.
-Wow. Sad.
-Yeah.
She's just using him to get
back at her boyfriend
for cheating on her.
Is he here?
-Her boyfriend. Is he here?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Hes that guy.
[laughing] Okay.
[Man, non-sync dialogue] I was
living in Rockford,
but I'm back because
my dad wants me
to take over his
construction business.
[Ray] Oh.
[Man] Yeah, I didn't want to
at first, but...
You know, it's not a bad gig.
[Ray] Yeah. I mean, you get
to be the boss.
[Man] Well, I never thought
I was good at anything,
but then with construction...
Building things comes
naturally to me.
What do you do?
[Ray] Oh, I'm a therapist.
[Man] Oh, yeah?
[Ray] Yeah.
I listen to people,
and then I tell them
what they need to hear.
[Man] You don't tell
them the truth?
[Ray] Well, I don't lie.
[Man] I hope you're not
doing that to me.
[Ray] It feels good though,
doesn't it?
-That was quick.
-Yeah, Im a fast pisser.
It's not the only
thing I'm fast at.
[laughing]
[muffled party music
in background]
[anxious percussive
music resumes]
[Ed] Larry Bird?
[Nancy] So when the
doctors were looking,
they couldn't find it because
something was in the way.
And it was...
I had to do something.
I had to get the fake ones out,
get my real breasts sawed off,
and then get better ones
in their place.
-Oh, wow.
-Yeah.
Silicone saved me.
Can you believe that?
[Ed] Neeraj, can you help?
[Neeraj] No, I dont
feel like it.
[Ed] Come on.
We need new blood.
New blood, new blood!
Sit. Come on.
[Nancy] Theyre hard though.
Here, feel them.
No, thats good.
I'm good. Its okay.
-Feel. Feel, feel, feel.
-[hard smack]
-[Ray] Wow.
-Can't feel a thing.
-Male?
-Yes.
-Tall?
-Yes.
[Nancy]
Do you see death around me?
[Ed]
Bobby Knight? Larry Bird?
Do you see death around me?
[Ed] Mark Jackson.
Dale Davis.
Rick Smits. Pacers.
No.
[percussive music intensifies]
Hey.
Hey.
What's going on?
Nothing.
[Ray] Okay.
Put it back.
What are you talking about?
Sunny, just put that shit back.
It's not yours.
I'm sorry, I just
don't know what you mean.
Oh, okay. This is the part
where you show off
in front of your little friends.
You know what?
Dont you have somewhere to be?
No, actually.
[Sunny] Why are you
so obsessed with me?
No, seriously, isn't there
a toilet to clean or something?
Toilet to clean? That's good,
because I'm a cleaner.
Wow.
You are your mother's daughter.
[percussive music]
[knife slicing]
[Partygoer] What happened?
[glasses clinking, bar chatter]
[Runnin playing]
See, I got pleasure,
I got pain
And I got
fever in my veins
And I got spice,
and I'm not nice
But that's the way
you like to play
I ate the fruit,
I told the truth
And then I gave it all away
I kiss your mouth,
I grab your gun
Cause that's
the way you like to play
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',

Im runnin'
See I got sweet
and I got heat
I got exactly what you need
And I got smoke,
I take it slow
Dont beat your chest,
just bend your knees
I drank the juice,
I called a truce
Thats not
the way you like to play
I kiss your book,
youre such a crook
And thats the way
you like to play
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin'

-Hi Ray.
-Hi.
Hi. How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good.
Feel like I never left.
Okay. Sorry, I didn't...
[Tracy] Oh, no.
No. Stay.
I didn't plan on
leaving or anything.
I'm not that type of person.
I just finished work,
and I just kept driving
and driving.
And I went to a bar and...
[sighing]
I met someone.
He was...
He was nice. He was...
Normal.
He talked a lot.
[gentle music]
Anyway.
I went home with him.
It was fun.
[Tracy] You know when
somebody smells
so familiar,
you fill in the gaps
of who they are.
I did exactly what I wanted.
It felt so great.
And then it was fine.
It was just...
Fine.
[Tracy] And then
it didn't really feel like...
any different to anything else.
So I came home.
But you got what you wanted.
I dont know.
Can you juggle?
Yes.
Do it.
I want to see you juggle.
I don't want to.
[Sunny] I can.
[eggs breaking on floor]
[faucet running]

[Willie]
Thats so good!
[Willie]
My garden is destroyed.
Summers are just
getting shorter and shorter.
[breathing deeply]
[spoon hitting floor]
[Willie laughing]
What are you doing?
It goes in.
You drink.
Oh, come on, don't be so boring.
What do you have
to do tomorrow, Ray?
Work?
You got to go to work?
Oh, Ma, I got to go to work.
Work, work, work, work, work.
Come on, Ma! I'm tired.
I gotta go to work.
Ah, yes!
-All right, you wanna play?
-Now were talking.
Let's play. Come on.
[upbeat jazz playing]
[plate breaking]
You drink, Ma!
[plate breaking]
[laughing uproariously]
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[glass shattering]
Oh! See, because you're
too confident!
We still have bowls!
[laughing uproariously]
Pick up the glass. Pick up the
glass. Pick up the glass.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-[Willie laughing]
-[Ray] I feel sick.
[inhaling deeply]
Carl fired me.
Oh. I'm sorry.
He says that there are plenty
of people who want my job
who come to work on time.
But youre working so much.
It's not a problem, right?
[dogs barking outside]
I mean, I'll find
something else.
Sorry, Ma.
Do you remember your dreams?
No. Not really.
Sometimes I'll have a dream
and it will stay with
me the whole day.
And then other times I'll...
dream and it'll
fade before breakfast.
But even, even when
I can't tell you
what the dream is,
I sort of remember it.
You know,
it sort of sticks with me.
Maybe you should
write your dreams down.
Then you'll remember them.
[wind gusting, birds chirping]
[determined percussive music]
[vacuum whirring]
[Tracy] Hey, can I talk
to you for a second?
Well.
Um, Jean...
came to us
because it...
It seems like some...
jewelry went missing
from her house
the other night.
Oh, this is...
Oh, this is very uncomfortable.
Well, for all of us.
Um.
But I have to...
We have to ask.
Did you take it?
[nervous jazzy music]
Yeah.
I went into your drawer,
and I stole your bracelet
and your necklace.
And I was going to sell them
on eBay for 100 bucks.
But now you caught me,
so you guys can go
to the cops and, um...
I will go to jail.
[nervous jazzy music continues]
[eggs breaking on floor]

[Ray laughing]
Girl, you know you can't drive.
[both laughing]
[Mari] You know, those people
got so much damn money,
they don't even
know what to do with it.
[Ray] I know, right?
You know, I could have thought
of a thing or two, but...
[Mari] I bet Marty
could help you fix your car.
Yeah, well, you got time.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Ray] Oh.
You know,
I heard about this mountain.
Not a mountain. What was it?
A volcano that erupted in
the Caribbean.
Mount Pele.
-Pele.
-When?
[Ray] Like a long time ago.
Anyway...
When it erupted,
it killed everybody in the town.
Everybody except for
this one guy
who was in an
underground cellar for years.
So, after everybody dies,
-this one guy...
-Mm-hm.
[Ray] This one man
who was in jail.
He's the only one left.
[Mari] Wait, wow.
So he comes up,
but he's still alone.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Mari] Out of one prison,
into another.
[Sound of the Wind playing]
What are you looking at?
Whoa!
I like the land and the sea
Oh yeah
[Ray laughing]
One, two, three.
[keyboard tone]
Lets do another one.
-D.
-D? Okay.
I like my neighbors
and my friends
But most of all, girl
I like the wind, yeah
I like the sound of the wind
[song continues]
[Willie] If you had called me
last night, I could've done it.
Yeah. We know, we know.
[Mari] Oh, you got
your tools and everything.
[Willie] Let's see what I
can do with em.
-You good, Ma?
-Mm-hm.
-Damn.
-What? Your shoulder?
[Willie] You need
better pillows?
No, I dont.
Yeah, they're like t-shirts.
You sleep crooked,
you dream crooked.
Yeah, well, I guess I'm
living crooked.
Ooh.
Feel that? Ah, right there.
Thats good.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay. [laughing]
[Willie] Marty was...
Marty was teaching me
to talk to the stockers.
I guess I don't
need that now, huh?
[Mari] What else
you know how to say?
Me llamo, uh, Williemae.
Hey, Ma, how do you say
When are you gonna
give Marty some?
[all laughing]
We was all thinking it.
We was all thinking it.
What you worrying
about my sex life for?
I get my needs met.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
You know, that man doesn't
have any funeral clothes.
What, he don't have
no black pants or shirt?
I know.
[Willie] You can't
trust somebody
who doesn't have
funeral clothes.
It's like, it's like
they think nothing
bad is ever gonna happen to em.
[Ray] Right.
Like he's testing God.
[Willie] Exactly.
[Willie laughing]
[Willie] Is there a rag?
I need a rag.
[percussive music]
[indistinct chatter]
[Willie]
And see, theres one there.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Therell be one in front.
Ill bet you money.
[Willie]
What is that right there?
[Ray] Oh, blessings.
[Willie] I tell you,
it never fails.
[Ray] This spot is so small.
[Willie]
Not if you know how to drive.
[Willie laughing]
Who taught you how to drive?
Thats what I want to know.
-You?
-I did not.
[Willie] I did not teach you.
[Ray] Well, Pop taught me
how to drive, but...
[Willie laughing]
[Willie] Look, I think that
that's Mary Ellen.
-I haven't seen her forever.
-Oh yeah.
[Willie] Oh, my word.
[Ray] She was sick, right?
[Willie] Yeah, she was.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
Look at that. Oh.
Look at all these people.
[Ray]
There's Kevin, obviously.

Thank you for everything

We just moved practices.
I didn't know what

I guess foot doctors

Do you want me to help

-Uh... No, it's...
-Just here?
Yeah, just, by the door.
[light music]
Awesome.
Appreciate it.
Hey, do you do home cleaning?
[Ray] What do you mean?

I don't know how it works

[Ray] It's like
early Destiny's Child.
Remember when everybody
used to be honey blond.
It looks good.
It looks real good.
[Ray] Now, how you
gonna tell somebody
it looks good with a
straight face?
Because I actually believe that.
Kay-Kay. Kay-Kay.
What do you think about my hair?
You like it?
Ooh, rude!
Why did you
make your hair orange?
[Ray] It's not orange.
[Marielle]
We need to work on that.
[laughing]
Oh, you just turn on

Okay, did you take any breaks?
No, sorry, I'm joking.

But you can just leave it blank.
I'll fill it out.
-[Ray] Thank you.
-[Neeraj] Youre welcome.
Oh...
Wow. Thank you.
So you, uh...
Well, you met Mrs. Laich.
She likes you.
Would you...
Would you clean her house too?
Please.
I paid you for it.
-Oh.
-You don't have to, of course.
[Ray] Wow.
There it is.
Right there.
The one with the...
chicken on a compass.
[Ray] A weathervane.
[Neeraj]
A weathervane, yes.
It tells you where
the wind is coming from.
Right?
[chuckles]
Why do they need
a chicken to tell them?
[Ive Got a Secret

[Radio DJ]
Hey, we all got secrets.
And Dr. J ain't
telling you nothing
unless you ask nicely.
[Dr. J laughing]

Oh!
Ahh...
You ruined your surprise.

Shes here to help me clean.
[Ed] My present?
Is this like a stripper thing?
-[Jean] Stop it.
-What's your name?
Rayelle. But Ray.
Thank you for coming, Ray.
You can go back and do
whatever you were doing.
Okay.
Can I get you anything?
No. I'm good, thank you.
[Jean] Okay, Ray and I are
just gonna get started.
Okay.
[mischievous music]
Uh...
I really don't need your help.
-You don't?
-No.
Um...
Can I just ask you,
how much do you cost?
Oh, Dr. Patel already paid,
so...
What's your rate though?
Well, it...
depends.
On what?
Um...
On the size of your house.
You know,
what you want me to do.
If you want me to
organize or just clean or...
you know, rearrange, its...
just, like, scale.
Okay, uh...
[clicking tongue]
Um...
Let's start with the bathroom.
[camera snaps]
[water swishing loudly]
[cleaner fluid sound]
Oh, sorry.
No, you're fine.
You're fine.
How's it going?
Good. Yeah.
Um, you want me

Uh...
[hockey announcer on TV]
A 1-0 lead with 21 seconds...
Jeans got a whole
-thing going down here.
-Okay.
So youll have to
ask her about that.
I can show you these though.
I took all of these.
-Oh, wow.
-Yeah.
-That's nice.
-Yeah.
I'm gonna get one
from all 50 states,
and there's 26 so far.
But, uh, I'm gonna
get them all before I,
you know,
leave this earth.
So how do you know
which one's from where?
Ah. Well, I...
-Here.
-Oh.
-Just...
-Right.
-Little system.
-Yeah.
You were in Pittsburgh.
Yeah, in 2000 I...
Well, I go off and
I travel a lot from work.
I'm at U.S. Steel, and

Oh, yeah, my dad was at Inland.
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
Yeah, the Indian guy
took over, right?
Yeah.
I mean, that was...
That was rough stuff over there.
I mean, that guy, I guess...
You know, he just didn't care.
It's all about money
with those people and...
It doesn't matter
how long youve been there
if a machine can do it.
Right?
This one's right in
front of the house.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is.
I guess it could use
a little love.
If you don't mind.
[person on TV] ...Im, like,
freaking out right now.
[TV host] Oh, and by the way,
I talk to dead people.
Being a medium,
its about connecting
people with the loved ones
theyve lost.
It's about the healing.
I'm Madeline the Medium.
Hey, can...
Can you bring me a napkin?
Yeah.
[TV continues in background]
I hate this smell.
Really? I like it.
You do?
I think it starts out all fresh,
but then it mixes
with the rest of me.
[Madeline]
It's really difficult to explain
what's happening when
I'm communicating with a spirit.
I mean, talking to the dead.
It's not an easy explanation.
A spirit likes to communicate
with what I call
a spirit dictionary,
and these are just, like...
Oh, I think there's some
glasses back here or something.
Oh, yeah, I'll throw
them in the wash.
[Madeline]
Im having it bring me back
to the time of
his passing, okay?
Do you ever watch her?
No.
[Jean]
I'm into all that voodoo stuff.
You know,
not to hurt anybody too bad.
I've always been interested in
getting someone to do
whatever I want.
[Madeline]
Her soul came through you.
Before you even found out...
[TV grows distorted]
I can do that.
Do what?
I can see things.
Hmm?
-[Jean] You can?
-Mm-hm.
[gasps]
[Ray] It can be freaky.
Like,
I might just be
out running errands, you know,
and then all of a sudden
I'll see them.
Just, like, ghostly bodies.
Wow.
[sighing]
I always wanted to have that.
[Madeline] Can I hold
your hand, if thats okay?
Okay, there seems to be
a friend here, actually.
Have you lost a friend?
Did he tip you?
No, he didn't.
Well then, it's not a gift.
Have you met his wife?
Not yet.
She's a liar.
And I don't like liars.
[exhales]
[Ray groans]
[sucking in air]
[sighing]
[moaning]
Oh, I feel something.
[ominous, piercing strings]
A presence.
[sighing]
Oh, what is that?
[mysterious music]
Someone's here.
A cousin?
-Your sister?
-[gasps]
She's saying that there is
something that's
making you happy,
and you should
just move towards it.
What does that mean?
Oh, shes sensing a...
deep sadness.
But there's also light.
She's telling you to just
move towards the light.
Okay.
I keep seeing yellow.
Oh, there's a yellow...
Something about air.
I feel air.
Just feeling air there,
humming...
Its like there's
air everywhere.
[static droning sounds]
I can't believe it.
My sister died in a
yellow dress.
Oh my God.
I cannot believe it.
She choked.
The air.
[static droning intensifies]
[static droning ends]
You are so good.
You are really, really good.
[light choral music]
[puppies yelping]
[Wiliemae] Come here.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Oh. Okay.
Okay, Bella. All right.
Mamas got to go to work.
[Willie]
What color is that?
[Ray]
It's honey blond.
-Honey blond?
-Yeah, honey blond.
[Ray] Honey blond.
It's like blond, but
it's got a little brown to it.
Was that the color
you were going for?
A hundred percent.
Its exactly what I wanted.
-Okay.
-I got it.
-So you're happy with it?
-Perfect. I love it.
Okay. Me too.
Okay. [laughing]
[Ray] Okay, well, what is
something that you wish you had?
[Willie]
To not have to go to work.
But if you gotta go to work,
whats something you
wish you had?
-More money.
-[Ray laughing]
- [Willie] Thats Marty.
-Honk at him.
-No.
[honks horn repeatedly]
[Willie laughing]
All right, I'm outta here.
[Mari in voicemail]
Hey, love.
Thanks for picking up
Ellie today.
I didn't think
I'd have to go in today,
but you know if a shift opens
up, your girls gotta take it.
I'll bring you some cupcakes.
Yeah, they'll be
chocolate this time.
Okay. I know youre not
gonna look at this
so I'll just text you.
Love you.
Thank you. I owe you.
[Kayla giggling]
[Kayla]
I think I want to see a man
with some stringy hair and
its going to stay on forever.
Ooh, I want to see a princess.
And she's so pretty.
But then she got the
head of a dragon.
[Ray]
Wait, what's gonna happen?
Now!
There! Look!
Dragon Princess!
[Dad] Im gonna
let you go, okay?
You got it.
You got it.
[Tracy Patel on phone]
Sandy?
No... he's not gonna buy.
It's a total waste of time.
-[muffled voice on other line]
-Because...
No, they're Ativan and Klonopin.
It's been that way for years,
and it's just...
[muffled voice on other line]
Because I do my research.
That's why.
Bhatta... Bhattachu...
Dr. Bhattacharya, I think.
[Tracy] Okay,
but if he makes me late
for my next meeting,
I'm just gonna leave.
[Ray] Oh, I got it.
[Tracy] Oh, no. It's okay.
I can do it.
[Ray] No, no, it's totally fine.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
[Tracy] Wow. This is
interesting.
It's what you were
talking about.
The Prisoner Dilemma.
Hello!
In 1902, Ludger Sylbaris
was jailed for life.
And the cell had no windows
and only a little strip
of ventilation.
On...
Oh, it was on your birthday.
On May 8th,
Mount Pele erupts in
what would become the
deadliest volcanic eruption
of the 20th century.
The entire town was destroyed
in less than a minute.
And the only recorded
survivor was Ludger
because he was
trapped underground
in solitary confinement.
Huh.
Well, you think
your life is over
and then the world throws you
a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Literally.
So, you know, you should just
do whatever you want
with your life.
Because in the end,
a giant volcano might erupt
and you can live your
life in peace.
Everyone will be dead.
It's not the Prisoner's Dilemma.
[Tracy sighs]
Is there anything else you need,
because I'm making a
list for Ray?
Oh, did you know that shes
working with the Laiches now?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Hey. That's great.
Your business is growing.
Is my daughter gonna
sit there all day, I wonder?
Can you take me to
Nikki's on Saturday?
Did you ask your mom?
I want to get there alive.
[Tracy]
Have you ever heard of a bus?
-Okay. I'll see you tonight.
-[Tracy] Yeah. Uh-huh.
[Tracy exhaling]
[gunk splashing]
[Dixie doorbell chiming]
Hi!
Hi.
You know, it just doesn't...
It doesn't come that easy to me.
Okay, w...
I just want to know
what you feel.
Yeah, well,
if I'd known I was
gonna do a reading,
I would have prepared.
It's sort of a process.
-Mm-hm.
-But, um...
Yeah, I mean,
if you want me to sit down
and really do it, I can.
I just have to...
Commune with the spirits.
Okay.
I mean, when you say it out
loud, it sounds silly but it...
You know, I can do it.
Okay, great.
Okay.
Hmm.
Jean, I don't mean
to be forward, but...
I do usually charge
for readings.
Oh. I'm sorry.
How much?
You know what?
You're a friend. It's...
It doesn't even matter.
-Don't even worry about it.
-No, no, I want to.
-You do?
-Mm-hm.
Okay, well then, I don't know.
Let's just...
Let's say a hundred?
Okay.
[cash register sound]
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's begin.
[rhythmic drum music]
So just
take a deep breath in
and then
close your eyes as
you let it out.
[deep breathing]
[Ray] Hmm.
I'm not...
feeling your sister.
But she was here yesterday.
Yeah. She was.
She just doesn't seem
to be with us.
-You can't feel her at all now?
-I don't. [groans]
Hmm.
No. I'm sorry.
Is there someone...
Maybe someone else that you'd
like to speak to or...
Just some sort of question
you want answered?
I don't know.
Aren't you supposed to tell me?
Yeah.
It just helps to know
what to look for.
I don't want to guide you.
I just want you to tell
me what you feel.
Yeah, I understand that.
Okay.
Okay. Let's go back into it.
Lets just do another breath.
So, in.
Mm-hm.
[Jean breathes in]
And then just let it out.
Close your eyes.
[Jean breathes out]
[rhythmic drum music]
[Ray] Oh, wow.
There's love in your life.
But it's just not...
What you want.
Oh, I'm sorry, I...
I have a feeling, but I just
dont know if I should say.
What?
Well,
there is love in your life.
There's also pain.
So this love is not
good for you.
[drums slow]
Then what should I do?
I don't know.
It's just a feeling.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[plunging toilet]
[dramatic chord]
[Willie in voicemail]
Ray, I haven't heard from you.
Can you call me or text me back?
I just need to know if you're
dropping me off tonight.
If you can't,
I need to ask somebody else,
so call me.
Also, can you pick up some eggs?
Love you.
[Sunny Patel]
No, I'm at home right now. Why?
Wait, really?
What did he say?
No shit? Okay, all right.
That's bullshit.
No, seriously, like,
dont even worry about it.
He's not going to do anything.
Hey, can you take me to
Things N More?
Uh, yeah, sure. What is that?
It's a thrift store.
You havent been?
It's great. You can get the
best deals there.
Cool.
Yeah. Just ask your dad.
No, he doesn't care.
Did you ask him?
Yeah. And I swear,
Ill literally be so fast,
I have like two things, so...
Okay, well, as long as
your dad's fine, then...
Thank you.
Seriously, he's cool with it.
[Come On Home"
playing on radio]
[Dr. J]
Listen, we all want money,
but only some of us
have the music in our hearts.
When I'm feeling down,
a good song is all I need
to get me right.
But hey,
money wouldnt hurt either.
[Dr. J laughing]
You know, I knew a lady
that I was just so crazy about.
And you know what?
I loved her.
[Come On Home"
continues playing on radio]
[Ray scoffs]
It's such a rip off.
I got 25 bucks.
I mean, they said I could do
$70 in store credit but
why would I give them
my stuff and my money?
Oh yeah, wheres my cut?
What?
I drove you here.
I should get something.
I mean, it's my stuff.
I'm just saying.
We wouldn't be here
if I didn't drive you.
Are you serious?
I should've just walked.
[crash]
[Ray] Oh fuck.
[Worker] Are you okay, ma'am?
Oh man.
[Worker #2] Wooo, insurance
aint gonna cover that.
Shit, that's bad.
I know a dude, if you need
somebody to fix that.
Thank you.
Hey, you okay?
[Ray sighs]
[breathes deeply]
[rhythmic music]
[Sunny] I mean,
you havent killed anyone.
That would be
the worst-case scenario, right?
Like, one minute
you haven't killed anyone.
And the next minute
youve hit them or...
Or you make them
fall down the stairs.
That would be
really, like, really bad
because you couldn't
just get that fixed, right?
So at least there's that.
[Ray] How do you know
I haven't killed anyone?
[Ray laughs]
[Tracy] You are gonna
listen to me.
I have nothing to
hide from you because
I don't care...
[Neeraj] Im not
listening to this.
This is just a waste of time.
[Tracy] ...that's what you do
every time. Great talk.
[Tracy] Hey, Ray.
Can you come up here?
I need your help.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Tracy]
Keep, keep, keep...
I'm not going to wear this.
Yeah.
Do you want it?
Uh, no, that's okay.
Okay, well...
Someone could use this.
So how is it over at
the Laiches?
Its good.
Good.
I bet you've got a lot of work
to do over there.
What do we think of this?
Cute.
Yeah.
Well, do you want it?
Uh, no. That's okay.
Well, this is a nice sweater.
Neeraj got it for me.
I don't...
I don't think it would fit.
Take it.
I have...
I have too many clothes.
Like, I don't even have space
for my own clothes right now.
[Tracy sighs]
No, you know,
I'm just not gonna wear it.
And it's like you hold on
to this stuff...
Okay, well, someone can
make money from that.
Yeah, Jean said
you guys really connected.
Mm-hm.
You know, I think...
I think I'm actually gonna
hang on to all of that for Sunny
because, you know, she's gonna
want it at some point.
[echoed and distant]
I can't find my blue dress.
There's just too much
shit in here.
[birds chirping]
[Willie] Hurry up...
I don't want to wait for him.
Hur...
-My lord.
-[Ray] I can't, what do I do?
Okay. I'm not gonna wait.
Just stop, stop the car.
I'll get out here. Im...
[Ray] Okay, alright, night.
Have fun!
[trancelike music]
[blender running]
[dog barking]
[phone vibrating]
[groaning]
[phone beeps]
[Willie in voicemail]
Ray,
I hope you're not picking up
because you're scared
of your mother right now.
Ive been here for 30 minutes.
You think I should walk home?
If you want to forget about me,
I'd appreciate a warning
so I can get a ride
from someone else.
[Willie sighs]
All right.
[Ray] Yeah, Mom, Im five
minutes late.
Im driving now.
[other car honking]
Fuck.
[Ray sighs]
[Ray] I fucked up.
Sorry.
[Mari laughs]
-[Ray] Mari, I'm so sorry.
-What?
-What?
-I gotta go pick my mom up.
Are you serious?
I completely forgot.
We, we talked about this.
Yeah? I'm already late.
My mom's calling me...
So you can't take them?
All right, I'll take
Ellie to school,
but I can't take Kayla.
Great. I'll just take
her to work then.
[horn honking incessantly]
Stop!
Let me take Ellie right
now and then...
I really can't deal
with this right now.
I cant either.
Im trying to tell you...
[Tracy]
God, she's so great, isn't she?
[Jean] Oh yes, yes.
Oh, I feel so grateful.
Im so relieved.
[Tracy] Me too, me too.
Yeah, you know,
I never met anybody
who had that kind of access
to other dimensions before.
[Jean] You're right. I never
thought about it that way.
[Tracy] No wonder she's
charging so much.
-Hi.
-[Ray] Hi.
Hi.
These were in the dryer.
[Tracy] God, that's Neeraj.
We were just talking about you.
Oh. How's Ed?
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
He just got the promotion.
-Oh, hey. That's great.
-Thank you.
So we're going to have
a big party on Saturday,
and I want everybody to come.
And I wanted to
ask you if you could help.
I mean, I want you to come too,
and obviously well pay you.
Um, but can you bring the
whole family?
Well, Neeraj might be working,
but I'll try and drag Sunny.
Okay, well, it's gonna go late.
He deserves it.
He's been there a long time.
Hey, just tell me when.
-I can be there.
-Oh, yes. Wait.
I wanted to tell you,
we are really excited
about your business.
Oh, yes, we are.
How do you feel right now?
Is the spirit within you?
[Jean] No, it's not a switch
that she can just
turn on and off.
-Right?
-[Ray] Right.
[Jean] It's something that
she has to feel.
Yeah, it's like I gotta be
in the right place.
You know, like the right
state of mind.
Yeah.
Right, but...
I mean, if you're going
to charge people,
then don't you sort of
have to be on their schedule?
What if I wanted to hire
you right now?
[sighs]
I guess I'm still learning.
Oh, well, let us help you.
Yeah.
We'll both pay for a reading.
[buttons clicking]
[cash register sound]
Okay.
Um...
[Ray] Jean.
Okay.
Deep breath in.
And close your eyes
as you let it out.
[exhaling]
[pensive music]
[Ray] Hmm.
There's a light.
And a path.
It's a new path.
You need to walk
towards the path.
Is there something you want
or something you got to do?
Or someone, its...
Hmm.
Uh...
Um, I don't know.
I think that um...
I'm looking forward
to Eds promotion.
No.
It's about you.
Hmm.
Theres red.
That's weird, I just see red.
Feels like it's
important to you.
[Jean] Um...
Wow. I...
I feel like you just, like,
see right through me.
Okay.
Do me.
Sure.
Hmm.
-[Tracy] What? Like this?
-Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Now take a deep breath.
[inhaling, exhaling]
Why don't you just
do it with me?
-[Tracy] Okay.
-Okay.
Deep breath in.
[inhaling]
And close your eyes
as you let it out.
[exhaling]
Oh.
[moaning]
[Ray] Okay.
[sighing]
You...
You have a darkness.
There's just a hole.
And it's empty.
Hmm.
You got to do something.
Ah, you've given up
way too much.
[dramatic chord]
Yeah. You have to, um...
Gotta find a way to
fill this hole.
[dramatic chord]
Or this darkness
is just gonna consume you.
[dramatic chord]
[musical wind chimes]
[fire crackling]
[distorted voice]
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up, wake up!
Auntie Ray! Auntie Ray!
Auntie Ray! Auntie Ray!
[fire alarm beeping]
[coughing]
[pot sizzling]
[phone beeps]
[Ray in voicemail]
Hey, Mari, I'm calling you now,
so you can't get mad at me,
but...
I'm sorry,
I can't pick the girls up today.
Im swamped.
You know, when a shift opens up,
a girls gotta take it, so...
I love you. Bye.
[vacuum whirring]
[Neeraj] Hey...
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
[Neeraj] I don't know how
to say this, but, uh...
Tracy...
Tracy left a couple...
Two days ago.
She's, she's, she's
gonna come back.
I just...
I just thought maybe
you should know.
Did she mention anything to you?
[Ray] No.
[Neeraj] Huh.
That's probably good.
[Neeraj] She just
needed some time away.
It's temporary.
[Soccer announcer]
Robby Dambrot
with a step on Shan Gomez.
[broadcast continues faintly]
[treadmill beeps]
[Neeraj] Okay.
[Neeraj laughing]
Faster!
[treadmill beeps three times]
Faster!
[treadmill beeps]
[heavy thud]
[anxious percussive music]
Its probably a full house.
I think there's some
carpooling happening...
How much would you pay for that?
-Impressive.
-Right? Isnt it good?
Yes, yes.
People charge
hundreds of dollars
for arrangements like this.
-It's great.
-I could do it for a living.
You know, I think
we're gonna need a lot of ice.
Well, I have six bags of ice.
You think there's enough food?
[Ray] Yeah.
[Jean] You really need
more ice than you think.
Sometimes you think you have
enough ice and you don't.
And then all the
drinks are warm.
[Ed] I think six bags is plenty.
[Jean] But then you have
nowhere to put the ice.
I guess you could put it
outside if its cold enough.
[Jean] Is it cold enough?
Stop nibbling!
We're not going
to have enough food.
[Ed] Jean, you said there's
plenty of food, right?
Well, I...
I can get some chips, too.
[Jean] If its over 32 degrees,
the ice will melt.
[phone beeps]
[Mari in voicemail]
Hey Ray.
I know you're so busy,
so I asked your mom to watch
the kids for me.
Don't worry about calling
me back, okay? All right.
[Ill Be the Lover playing]
[Partygoer] And you're her
housekeeper, right?
-[Ray] Yeah.
-[Partygoer] You're so pretty.
[Partygoer]
But youre here as a guest?
[Ray] Both, I guess.
[Woman]
Honestly, I wish I was working.
Give me an excuse to
ignore these people.
So, youre a psychic.
Oh, I think everybody's
a little clairvoyant.
[Anita]
Oh, but youre the real deal.
You talk to the dead.
[Nikki] Do you really?
[Ray] I do.
But I have to be drunk first.
[all laughing]
[sighs]
[Man] Wow.
That looked horrible.
Yeah.
-It'll do what it needs to do.
-[Man laughs]
-See that guy?
-Yeah.
He told me he's
going through a breakup.
-Oh yeah?
-Mm-hm.
And he told me that he
sneaks into his ex's house
and leaves little things around
so shell think it's a sign
they should get back together.
He did not.
Oh yeah.
[Ray laughing]
[Ray]
Okay, so whos he's talking to?
[Man] Oh, that's his
girlfriend now.
But, uh...
[whispering]
But he's not really into her.
-He's not?
-Mm-mm.
-Wow. Sad.
-Yeah.
She's just using him to get
back at her boyfriend
for cheating on her.
Is he here?
-Her boyfriend. Is he here?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Hes that guy.
[laughing] Okay.
[Man, non-sync dialogue] I was
living in Rockford,
but I'm back because
my dad wants me
to take over his
construction business.
[Ray] Oh.
[Man] Yeah, I didn't want to
at first, but...
You know, it's not a bad gig.
[Ray] Yeah. I mean, you get
to be the boss.
[Man] Well, I never thought
I was good at anything,
but then with construction...
Building things comes
naturally to me.
What do you do?
[Ray] Oh, I'm a therapist.
[Man] Oh, yeah?
[Ray] Yeah.
I listen to people,
and then I tell them
what they need to hear.
[Man] You don't tell
them the truth?
[Ray] Well, I don't lie.
[Man] I hope you're not
doing that to me.
[Ray] It feels good though,
doesn't it?
-That was quick.
-Yeah, Im a fast pisser.
It's not the only
thing I'm fast at.
[laughing]
[muffled party music
in background]
[anxious percussive
music resumes]
[Ed] Larry Bird?
[Nancy] So when the
doctors were looking,
they couldn't find it because
something was in the way.
And it was...
I had to do something.
I had to get the fake ones out,
get my real breasts sawed off,
and then get better ones
in their place.
-Oh, wow.
-Yeah.
Silicone saved me.
Can you believe that?
[Ed] Neeraj, can you help?
[Neeraj] No, I dont
feel like it.
[Ed] Come on.
We need new blood.
New blood, new blood!
Sit. Come on.
[Nancy] Theyre hard though.
Here, feel them.
No, thats good.
I'm good. Its okay.
-Feel. Feel, feel, feel.
-[hard smack]
-[Ray] Wow.
-Can't feel a thing.
-Male?
-Yes.
-Tall?
-Yes.
[Nancy]
Do you see death around me?
[Ed]
Bobby Knight? Larry Bird?
Do you see death around me?
[Ed] Mark Jackson.
Dale Davis.
Rick Smits. Pacers.
No.
[percussive music intensifies]
Hey.
Hey.
What's going on?
Nothing.
[Ray] Okay.
Put it back.
What are you talking about?
Sunny, just put that shit back.
It's not yours.
I'm sorry, I just
don't know what you mean.
Oh, okay. This is the part
where you show off
in front of your little friends.
You know what?
Dont you have somewhere to be?
No, actually.
[Sunny] Why are you
so obsessed with me?
No, seriously, isn't there
a toilet to clean or something?
Toilet to clean? That's good,
because I'm a cleaner.
Wow.
You are your mother's daughter.
[percussive music]
[knife slicing]
[Partygoer] What happened?
[glasses clinking, bar chatter]
[Runnin playing]
See, I got pleasure,
I got pain
And I got
fever in my veins
And I got spice,
and I'm not nice
But that's the way
you like to play
I ate the fruit,
I told the truth
And then I gave it all away
I kiss your mouth,
I grab your gun
Cause that's
the way you like to play
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin'
See I got sweet
and I got heat
I got exactly what you need
And I got smoke,
I take it slow
Dont beat your chest,
just bend your knees
I drank the juice,
I called a truce
Thats not
the way you like to play
I kiss your book,
youre such a crook
And thats the way
you like to play
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin', Im runnin',
Im runnin'
Im runnin'

-Hi Ray.
-Hi.
Hi. How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good.
Feel like I never left.
Okay. Sorry, I didn't...
[Tracy] Oh, no.
No. Stay.
I didn't plan on
leaving or anything.
I'm not that type of person.
I just finished work,
and I just kept driving
and driving.
And I went to a bar and...
[sighing]
I met someone.
He was...
He was nice. He was...
Normal.
He talked a lot.
[gentle music]
Anyway.
I went home with him.
It was fun.
[Tracy] You know when
somebody smells
so familiar,
you fill in the gaps
of who they are.
I did exactly what I wanted.
It felt so great.
And then it was fine.
It was just...
Fine.
[Tracy] And then
it didn't really feel like...
any different to anything else.
So I came home.
But you got what you wanted.
I dont know.
Can you juggle?
Yes.
Do it.
I want to see you juggle.
I don't want to.
[Sunny] I can.
[eggs breaking on floor]
[faucet running]
[dogs barking]
[Willie]
Thats so good!
[Willie]
My garden is destroyed.
Summers are just
getting shorter and shorter.
[breathing deeply]
[spoon hitting floor]
[Willie laughing]
What are you doing?
It goes in.
You drink.
Oh, come on, don't be so boring.
What do you have
to do tomorrow, Ray?
Work?
You got to go to work?
Oh, Ma, I got to go to work.
Work, work, work, work, work.
Come on, Ma! I'm tired.
I gotta go to work.
Ah, yes!
-All right, you wanna play?
-Now were talking.
Let's play. Come on.
[upbeat jazz playing]
[plate breaking]
You drink, Ma!
[plate breaking]
[laughing uproariously]
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[glass shattering]
Oh! See, because you're
too confident!
We still have bowls!
[laughing uproariously]
Pick up the glass. Pick up the
glass. Pick up the glass.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-[Willie laughing]
-[Ray] I feel sick.
[inhaling deeply]
Carl fired me.
Oh. I'm sorry.
He says that there are plenty
of people who want my job
who come to work on time.
But youre working so much.
It's not a problem, right?
[dogs barking outside]
I mean, I'll find
something else.
Sorry, Ma.
Do you remember your dreams?
No. Not really.
Sometimes I'll have a dream
and it will stay with
me the whole day.
And then other times I'll...
dream and it'll
fade before breakfast.
But even, even when
I can't tell you
what the dream is,
I sort of remember it.
You know,
it sort of sticks with me.
Maybe you should
write your dreams down.
Then you'll remember them.
[wind gusting, birds chirping]
[determined percussive music]
[vacuum whirring]
[Tracy] Hey, can I talk
to you for a second?
Well.
Um, Jean...
came to us
because it...
It seems like some...
jewelry went missing
from her house
the other night.
Oh, this is...
Oh, this is very uncomfortable.
Well, for all of us.
Um.
But I have to...
We have to ask.
Did you take it?
[nervous jazzy music]
Yeah.
I went into your drawer,
and I stole your bracelet
and your necklace.
And I was going to sell them
on eBay for 100 bucks.
But now you caught me,
so you guys can go
to the cops and, um...
I will go to jail.
[nervous jazzy music continues]
[eggs breaking on floor]
[train whistle]
[agitated exhaling]

[car approaching]
[Ray laughing]
Girl, you know you can't drive.
[both laughing]
[Mari] You know, those people
got so much damn money,
they don't even
know what to do with it.
[Ray] I know, right?
You know, I could have thought
of a thing or two, but...
[Mari] I bet Marty
could help you fix your car.
Yeah, well, you got time.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Ray] Oh.
You know,
I heard about this mountain.
Not a mountain. What was it?
A volcano that erupted in
the Caribbean.
Mount Pele.
-Pele.
-When?
[Ray] Like a long time ago.
Anyway...
When it erupted,
it killed everybody in the town.
Everybody except for
this one guy
who was in an
underground cellar for years.
So, after everybody dies,
-this one guy...
-Mm-hm.
[Ray] This one man
who was in jail.
He's the only one left.
[Mari] Wait, wow.
So he comes up,
but he's still alone.
[Ray] Yeah.
[Mari] Out of one prison,
into another.
[Sound of the Wind playing]
What are you looking at?
Whoa!
I like the land and the sea
Oh yeah
[Ray laughing]
One, two, three.
[keyboard tone]
Lets do another one.
-D.
-D? Okay.
I like my neighbors
and my friends
But most of all, girl
I like the wind, yeah
I like the sound of the wind
[song continues]
[Willie] If you had called me
last night, I could've done it.
Yeah. We know, we know.
[Mari] Oh, you got
your tools and everything.
[Willie] Let's see what I
can do with em.
-You good, Ma?
-Mm-hm.
-Damn.
-What? Your shoulder?
[Willie] You need
better pillows?
No, I dont.
Yeah, they're like t-shirts.
You sleep crooked,
you dream crooked.
Yeah, well, I guess I'm
living crooked.
Ooh.
Feel that? Ah, right there.
Thats good.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay. [laughing]
[Willie] Marty was...
Marty was teaching me
to talk to the stockers.
I guess I don't
need that now, huh?
[Mari] What else
you know how to say?
Me llamo, uh, Williemae.
Hey, Ma, how do you say
When are you gonna
give Marty some?
[all laughing]
We was all thinking it.
We was all thinking it.
What you worrying
about my sex life for?
I get my needs met.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
You know, that man doesn't
have any funeral clothes.
What, he don't have
no black pants or shirt?
I know.
[Willie] You can't
trust somebody
who doesn't have
funeral clothes.
It's like, it's like
they think nothing
bad is ever gonna happen to em.
[Ray] Right.
Like he's testing God.
[Willie] Exactly.
[Willie laughing]
[Willie] Is there a rag?
I need a rag.
[percussive music]
[indistinct chatter]
[Willie]
And see, theres one there.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Therell be one in front.
Ill bet you money.
[Willie]
What is that right there?
[Ray] Oh, blessings.
[Willie] I tell you,
it never fails.
[Ray] This spot is so small.
[Willie]
Not if you know how to drive.
[Willie laughing]
Who taught you how to drive?
Thats what I want to know.
-You?
-I did not.
[Willie] I did not teach you.
[Ray] Well, Pop taught me
how to drive, but...
[Willie laughing]
[Willie] Look, I think that
that's Mary Ellen.
-I haven't seen her forever.
-Oh yeah.
[Willie] Oh, my word.
[Ray] She was sick, right?
[Willie] Yeah, she was.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
Look at that. Oh.
Look at all these people.
[Ray]
There's Kevin, obviously.
[car doors close]
[whimsical jazz music]
You lock it?
[car locking]
[Willie] Hi!
[Mary Ellen]
Thank you so much.

[A Poor Wayfaring Stranger
playing]
I'm just a poor
wayfaring stranger
Travelin through
This world of woes
But there is no sickness,
toil or danger
In that bright world
to which I go
I'm just a poor
wayfaring stranger
Travelin through
This world of woes
But there is no sickness,
toil or danger
In that bright world
to which I go
Im going there
To see my father
Going there,
no more turmoil
Im just going,
going over Jordan
Im just going,
going over home
