Devil's Workshop (2022)

[bunniefuu]

And I am your host on
The Lost Dimension.

Now, tell me brave viewers,
what scares you the most?

Ghosts, demons, UFOs?

Or you simply give yourself
the heebie-jeebies?

Well, on tonight's episode,
a visitor comes knocking.

Whether it'd be in human form?

Well, you're gonna have
to hold your breath.

When I was a little boy, I got
food poisoning at school one day,

and I received permission from
one of my teachers to go home early.

And I come home...

then I start hearing strange noises
coming from upstairs in my parent's room.

It scared me half to death,
you know, I turned white.

I didn't know what to do, so...

I went and got a big knife.

Same knife my dad used to cut
the Thanksgiving Day turkey.

And I could hear my mom's
screams getting louder and louder,

and I knew she was in trouble.

It was like she was staring
death in the face.

And so I opened
the bedroom door...

then I saw a large man
in his ski mask

f*cking my mom.

So, I started stabbing this guy
over and over and over.

But... it was a mistake.

A terrible mistake.

It turns out the man that
I slaughtered was my own dad.

They were role playing.

Went home from food poisoning
and end up murdering my own father.

It was all very
embarrassing for me.

But isn't life just
a one big embarrassment?

I'll be honest, your talent's more
impressive than your resume.

Uh, thanks. Thank you.

- Really great.
- Thank you.

- A little about the role.
- Mmm.

This scene takes place
in the character's childhood.

This is one of the things that led
him down the path to demon studies.

Funnily enough, it's actually based
on the very same demonologist

that performed an exorcism on my wife.

He's a tortured,
troubled man with a dark past.

I need an actor to rip their
soul out and put it on screen,

not just get high
and collect a paycheck.

Well, I don't smoke. So...

No. But, yeah, no,
I can do that...

if you could cast me,
or whatever, in this. Or...

Are we done?
Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Clayton!

Hey! Clayton!
Oh, my gosh, you f*cking...

- Donald! What's up, man?
- Studly!

Doe-eyed m*therf*cker!
How are you, buddy? Mm!

Life's good, dude.
Just, yeah, yeah, existing. You?

- Existing?
- Yeah.

Wow! The gratitude is just
exploding out of you right now.

- Okay.
- No, I'm good man.

- I'm f*cking busy, dude.
- Yeah?

Yeah. How are you though?
You're looking pretty svelte.

You good? You malnourished?
You gettin' all your vitamins?

- I'm worried.
- Yeah. I'm good, dude. I'm good. Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Donald, I'm good.

Just, just, you know,
been auditioning a bunch.

- Uh-huh.
- And then looking for...

looking for some new head shots,
or something.

- I'm sure.
- Do you have a phone call? Or...

- No, no.
- What's going on?

I, you know, it's crazy.

I didn't know that you would...

I mean, they were
going this way on this part.

I'm just... I sincerely hope that at
some point this year you do work.

- Thanks, Donald. It was good to see...
- No, no, no. No, no, no.

No, for real, for real.

This is just
a side racket for me.

I make all my paper
on this f*cking thing right now.

And it is sad.
I need it. I want it.

I have to do it.
I f*cking love it, too.

You know what I mean?
But you're a real f*cking...

You know, you're a real artist,
Clayton.

- You are. You're a real artist.
- Yeah.

I bet you f*cking make yourself
cry in the bedroom, don't you?

You do the bedroom break down.

Do you? Is that what you do?

Do you do the bedroom breakdown?

- Hey!
- Hey! There she is.

Wow. Oh, my God!
Looking tight as hell.

You're lucky
you have a cute face.

You're lucky
you have a boyfriend.

Hi, Clayton. It's Aunty Sherry.

Wanted to check in
to see how you're doing.

Oh, wow!

I'm looking at photos of you
and your mom right now.

Oh, this one is...

You are so adorable.

Such a little tiny pee-pee

in the bathtub with your mommy.

I visited your mom
the other day.

Left some new flowers
by her grave.

Remember that song
she always used to sing to you?

Greensleeves? Remember that
song? It was so f*cking annoying.

But you loved it. It was sweet.

Anyway... oh! Your NCSI
episode, I watched it.

It was terrific.
I am shocked how good it was.

And I can't believe that they
cut you out of it entirely.

Okay, bye-bye.

- You're happy.
- I'm happy.

- You're happy.
- I'm happy.

- You're funny.
- I'm funny?

- You're funny.
- I'm funny.

- You're funny.
- I'm funny.

- You're funny.
- You're hot.

Okay. Very good. Very good.

You guys, take your seats.

Okie-dokie.

I think the only one
who hasn't gone is Clayton.

Do we have an odd number
of students?

Don, my man,
you wanna do repetition

one more time
for Clayton's sake?

All right, gentlemen.
Come right this way.

All right, Donald,
you're going to kick us off.

First thing that comes to mind,
don't think too hard about it.

And here we go.

You're stupid.

Really?

Come on, Clayton.

I'm stupid.

- You're stupid.
- I'm stupid.

- You're stupid.
- I'm stupid.

- You're stupid.
- I'm stupid.

- You're stupid.
- I'm...

- You're stupid.
- I'm stupid.

You're stupid!

- Faster.
- You're a d*ck.

Oh. You're dumb.

- You're a f*cking d*ck.
- You're dumb.

- You're f*cking short.
- You're dumb.

- You're a short d*ck.
- Please repeat what he says.

- You're dumb.
- You're dumb. I'm...

- You're dumb.
- I'm dumb.

You're scared.

- Repeat what he says, please!
- I'm not...

- You're scared!
- I'm not scared.

- You're scared.
- I'm not scared.

- You're scared. You're scared.
- I'm not scared.

- You're scared.
- I'm not scared.

- You're scared!
- I am not scared!

Don... dude... ship.

You think maybe you could, uh,
talk to your agent?

See if he'd be down
to take a meeting with me?

Oh. I mean,
that's gonna be a hard, Chippy.

He's f*cking real c*cksucker.
You know that.

I mean, you know how hard it is for
me to get him on the f*cking phone.

I get it.

So maybe you ask him to come to
my play next week, see me in action.

I mean,
you gonna comp him a ticket?

What? No.
He'd have to pay full price.

We have to pay
to rent the theater.

You're coming at me right now...

it's like you're a baby seal trying
to swim in a world full of sharks.

And you're about to get clubbed
and get f*cked raw.

You're like a f*cking
bottle nose dolphin here.

I mean, I'm embarrassed.

And I'm only telling you this
because you are so talented.

But it's not about your talent.

It's about your height, your
weight, your face, your temperament.

Other than that...

you are an amazing teacher.

You know what Don?

That kind of honesty...

is what makes you great.

- Oh, thank you.
- Keep using it.

Hey, Clayton, buddy,
it's your dad calling.

Hope you're doing all right.

Wanted to tell you Max and I
watched your NCIS episode.

We didn't see you in it.

Are you sure this was
the episode you were in?

Just wondering if
they deleted your scene.

I know that happens sometimes.

You know, Max's son
might be able to get you a job

as a junior broker
at his company.

He said his company
is the next JP Morgan.

No, it's Goldman Sachs.

Oh, sorry.
Max has corrected me.

It's Goldman Sachs.

Hello?

Hey, Clayton.

I got Sean on the other line.

Okay. Uh, great.

Hey, Sean,
you're on with Clayton.

Yo.

Yo. What's up, man?
How are you doing?

I'm good. I'm good...

- f*ck!
- You okay?

Nah, I just bent my knee.
f*ck, that hurt.

Hey, so, I talked to the
director from Psychic Highway.

- Okay. And?
- And he really liked you, man.

Ah, dude, that's...
that's great. That's great.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

Anyway, they want you back in

for a call back on Monday...

11:00 a.m.

You'll be there, yeah?

What are you nut...? Of course,
yes. Of course, I'll be there.

Great, man.
Look, this first one was good,

but this next one
you gotta crush.

Dude, I will. I will.

Good. No pressure.

Peace!

All right. Thanks, man.

Yeah!
Yes!

Ah... f*ck.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Who is this?

I saw your ad on the internet...

about the demonologist.

Clayton Walker.

I was doing a little spring cleaning.
I didn't hear that door knock.

- Please, come on in.
- Thanks.

- Do you mind to take off your shoes?
- Oh, yeah. Sure.

I'll just put this beast away.

Wow.
Cool place.

Yes, it's been home to me
for many, many years now.

Is it just...
is it just you here?

Yes.

Did you draw these?

Oh, no, no.

Those are based on
a 15th-century wood carving.

Well, you see demons come in
many different shapes and forms.

They can be invisible.

Or they can be horrifying, beastly
creatures that carry us away.

Have you seen any of these,
the beasts?

Oh, yes. Quite a few.

Galvino... demon of desire.

Shall we?

Please, take a seat.

Would you like a cup of tea,
Clayton?

I was just in the middle
of making some.

Um, yeah, sure.
Please. Thanks.

Nothing like a nice cup of tea
after a long drive.

Yeah.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

- Mmm. Mmm.
- Oh.

No, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.

- No, it's okay.
- I didn't mean to.

- Don't apologize.
- I'm sorry. I just...

- Here. Clayton, take mine.
- Okay. Thank you.

I'm really sorry.
I didn't mean to spill on your...

It's okay. It's okay.
Everything is fine.

Yeah. No, I...

- Everything is just fine.
- I'm just... I'm really sorry.

Don't apologize, Clayton.

It's a sign of weakness.

Why don't we
talk about your career?

How long have you been acting?

Uh, yeah, a while.

Quite a while,
actually, almost 15 years.

Wow.

Well, I wish I'd seen
some of your work,

but, unfortunately,
I haven't seen a movie in years.

Yeah, well, even if you did,
you wouldn't...

Yeah. Well,
you wouldn't have, really,

seen me even if you did.

Oh. Why do you say that?

Because I haven't really
been in much.

Well, I'm sure you've done a lot of...
amazing work in the past 15 years.

Uh, yeah, yeah, sure. I guess.

All right, my love. Why don't we
talk about your family?

Tell me about your father.

Tell me about your mother.

Is something wrong?

Uh, no.
No, no, nothing's wrong.

It's just I feel like I should be the
one asking the questions, you know?

Like, I'm here to learn what
it's like to do what you do.

Oh. I see.

Well, for the work
we're going to do today...

I need you to trust me.

I need to trust you.

There can be no lies.

There can be no mistrust
in this house.

Or the ritual that we will perform
will have very little chance of success.

Ritual, um...

I see that you experience
a great deal of self-doubt...

Clayton Walker.

Sweetheart...
it hasn't always been that way.

I sense...

I sense that something
happened to you.

Something that made you
extremely vulnerable.

But what I sense is that evil
spirits have penetrated your soul.

And I know that you can feel this
because as they've become more powerful,

you felt yourself
become more and more powerless.

Now, they will
continue to do this

until there is very little
Clayton Walker left.

And then... what happens next?

Well, that's not going to happen

because the ritual
that we will perform

is an expulsion of evil spirits.

Sweetheart, just think of it
like a purification

of your body and your mind.

Uh, like, um... uh...

An exorcism.

On me?

Yes. That-that's correct.

Clayton, sweetheart, you're gonna leave
here with a clear mind and a clear soul,

and a very, very real sense
of the spirits that surround us.

Now, I can't think of
a better way

to prepare to play the role
of a demonologist.

No?

I'm just...

Can I... Can I use your bathroom
real quick, please?

Shall we get started?

Do you mind?

Yeah.

After you.

So, this is where we will
perform the ritual...

when you're ready.

And when will that be?

I'll need a day to prepare you.
So, tomorrow night?

Wow. Okay.

Uh... and what exactly
do we do at this ritual?

Like, I know you said we'd be,
like, extracting the evil spirits,

like you said. But...

Clayton, I've done this many,
many times.

That's, uh...
That's blood, right?

Yes, it is.

Human blood?

Yes.

And goat.

Right.

Well, what do we do now?

We eat.

The goat?

Yeah, I don't... I don't really eat
much good home cooking these days.

Well, a healthy diet

is a key component
to a healthy mind.

I guess that's why my mind's
always running me wild then, huh?

Or that and the demons.

Wait, no, I'm-I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...

I'm not sure
this is going to work.

No. I was just trying to be
funny, I guess. Okay? It's just...

Are you aware
that there are many,

many people
who want nothing more

than to ridicule
and berate me for what I do?

Now, I'm... I'm certain that
you are who you say you are.

But I am not certain
that you will be able to silence

the preconceived notions and
doubts that obviously... concern you.

Look, I need this role.

Okay? I'm-I'm...
I'm 35 years old.

I'm unemployed and I
have 1,200 followers. It's sh*t.

Well...

Jesus Christ
had only 12 followers

and he was nailed to the cross
and beaten to death by the age of 33.

On the phone, you told me
you already had this part.

Now, that... was a lie.

Uh, yes. Yes, it was.

It's okay, darling.

The lies
are the work of the demons

and they convince us that we
should disguise our insecurities.

But in reality,
they are leading us

further and further
from who we truly are.

Now, I don't need to
tell you this

because I know that
you can feel it in yourself.

Uh, yeah, I-I guess so.

I have a call back on Monday
and I need to be...

I need to be great or else
they're gonna give the role

to this dipshit
social climber, Donald.

This Donald...

you're jealous of him.

Mmm.

Ah... jealous? Ah...

Okay, we share
the same acting class.

And he's just one of those dudes that
was blessed with good luck, you know?

He did this commercial when he was
two years old, this antiabortion PSA.

And-and it aired on TV
every Christmas for eight years.

Everyone has their own path.

Donald is on his,

and you will find yours.

I hope so.

Are you believing anything
that I'm telling you, Clayton?

Or do you secretly think
I've lost my mind?

What? No. Yeah, I-I...
Listen, I totally believe you.

It's just all of this
is so new to me. Okay?

So, it's just... it just feels foreign
and it's hard to take it all in.

Very difficult for us to challenge
the things we think we know.

Very difficult for us to know
anything these days when everything;

the media, science, social code,

everything is brought with

so much contradiction
and insecurity.

I mean, there's a reason
why I live out here, darling.

I rarely use the internet.
I very rarely use the phone.

All of that... causes a great
deal of psychic trauma.

And that is how
the evil spirits take hold.

I would like to help you,
Clayton...

both spiritually,
and with your career ambitions.

But you are going to
have to come a very long way

from where you are right now.

Yeah, I can do that.

Yeah, I will do that.

You know how much
I love you guys, right?

No. You love me? I thought you
f*cking hated me, babe.

So much, I want to set
your face on fire.

One year ago today, my mom died
at 7:32 and my dad died at 7:48.

Can I ask you a question, Nik?

How did they die?

Donald, dude.

I don't want to talk about it,
really.

Sorry,
I shouldn't have brought it up.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Wow! I just... I kind of feel
like a f*cking d*ck right now.

I mean, you did say your parents'
respective death's, like, to the minute.

So, I thought it was kind of fair
game, but, okay. You know what?

You know what we need right now?
A little adrenaline!

It's getting little too modelin'
in this b*tch.

That means sad, Petra.

I'm sorry that me grieving my
dead parents is so boring to you.

No, I-I understand
it's a sensitive issue.

But you just can't get
in your head right now. Okay?

It's gonna blow your high.

Wait...

Oh...

Interesting.

Do you girls
believe in paranormal activity?

Spirits? The resurrection?

No, I don't.

Well, I do because I'm gonna
be playing one.

A Ret*rded ghost?

Shut the f*ck up!
A demonologist.

I got a callback for this movie
Psychic Highway on Monday.

I mean, the role is, like,
pretty much mine.

It's just a formality
at this point.

I got a couple of, like,
c*ck in my bullpen

that I gotta clear out.

But pretty much,
I am in preparation mode.

How might you ask, is Donald
gonna prepare for this part?

Well, I'll f*cking tell you:
an emotional purge.

Think of me as a demon therapist
and you're my patient.

Who is your patient?

Come on, Nik.

It'll help loosen you up.

She's pretty loose as it is.

She's right. I'm a huge sl*t.

No, I know.

But I mean, listen,
you hold everything inside.

That's why you're so
stressed out all the time.

I need to prepare for this role.

You need to emotionally purge.

I mean, we're just gonna
k*ll two birds with one stone.

And, artist to friend...

you're in a safe place...
with me.

How safe?

Guys, we are about to
embark on a spiritual experience

with the beautiful
Ms. Nikki over here.

- Stop. I'm fine.
- No.

I'm just regular pretty.

That's right. And
she's agreed to be the guinea pig

in a little research
experiment of mine.

What kind of research, you ask?

Well, when you see me

on the cover of Deadline,
you'll find out.

And then the only research
you'll be doing is Go ogling

how to suck Don Don's
big old nutsack.

Don't be gross.
Don't be gross in the video.

Do you have everything you need,
Clayton?

Mmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

What's that?

A phone.

Mmm.

A device is more treacherous
than a breast ripper.

It's a distraction.

It feels nothing
but jealousy and despair.

Okay,
I-I can turn it off if you...

If only it were that simple.

Re... Really?

Okay.

Ha! Feel better already.

Yep.

Good night.

You're in my driveway.
Get out of my f*ck' driveway!

You want some?

You want some?

Hi, I'm Eliza.

Hi. I'm your host,
Eliza Atwood.

Welcome to an episode
of the Lost Dimension.

Now tell me, brave viewers.
What scares you the most?

Ghosts, demons, UFOs?

Hi.

Or do you simply give yourself
the heebie-jeebies?

Are you an emotion masochist?

Do you sabotage
your own opportunities?

Do you fear for the future?

Well, on tonight's episode,

we're gonna follow an innocent
man who lives in upstate New York.

But one night, a visitor comes
knocking. Whether it'd be in human form?

Well, you're gonna have to
hold your breath to find out.

David Mamet says actors should
just say their lines.

Forget about their motivation
and their subtext.

Just say their lines
plainly and simply.

I agree.

I hate all that pretentious
preparation horse sh*t.

No, you've got to
go with instinct.

Be in the moment, you know?

You feel something,

find an energy,
key into that energy,

and then just let it rip.

Who's David Mamet?

Who's David Mamet?

What's your point, Don?

I'm going to ask you
a series of questions.

I don't want you
to over think the answers.

I just want you to say the first
thing that comes to your head.

Remember, over thinking is the
enemy. Okay? Remember that.

What kinds of questions
you gonna ask me?

Okay. So, you just did it right
there. That was a question.

Only answers.

Okay, well, what does this
have to do with playing a demon?

Demonologist. Also, Petra,
that's a f*cking question. Okay?

What do you want me to do, Don?

Okay, just close your eyes.
Deep breath.

You guys should take some shots

'cause you're being
a f*cking as*h*le right now.

And I just feel like
it'll be more fun for me.

That's actually... that's
actually a really good idea.

- Thank God. Yes.
- Okay.

- Oh, my gosh.
- You first.

Here you go.

Whoo.

I say that after
every question answered,

we both take a shot.

Okay. But you realize
that I'm old, right?

You're gonna give me
f*cking alcohol poisoning.

Maybe. Just keep the questions
to a minimum,

and then Petra won't have to
pump our stomachs.

All right.

- Okay. First official question.
- Mmm.

Why am I such a great actor?

- Because you were born with it.
- God. Very good. Wow.

Yeah. Mmm.

You guys
are gonna get f*cked up.

Yeah. She's right.

Do you believe in
demonic possession?

Answer.

No, I don't.

Do you feel guilty
about your dog, Riley?

What?

His intestines exploded
out of his a*s under the wheels.

- Donald, what the f*ck, man.
- Petra, please.

No. I don't feel guilty
about it, as*h*le.

I let him out by accident.

I was literally ten years old,
and he was a sh*t dog.

Mmm. Wow.

Can you continue with this
Spanish Inquisition, please?

- You know, maybe we should...
- Petra, please!

No, seriously,
this is f*cking stupid.

This is not f*cking stupid,
Petra! Okay?

It's not f*cking stupid! I'm getting into
character. She needs this. I need this.

The only person
that doesn't need to...

- f*ck you, Donny!
- ...f*cking be here right now is you!

You are providing no f*cking
service of any kind. Okay?

Just shut the f*ck up!

Sorry about that. Okay.

Did your parents
love each other?

Yes. Next question.

- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
Next question, please.

Now...

What really happened
to your parents, Nik?

You gotta be honest with me. I
mean, it's gonna make you feel better.

- Why are you asking me this?
- A lot better. Because it's...

- Why the f*ck are you asking me this?
- ...my craft.

Your dad shot your mom.

- What are you doing?
- Your dad...

- You don't know anything.
- No, your dad shot your mom,

- and then he hung himself.
- Knock it off, dude!

You know what...
Was he possessed?

Did a supernatural force
make him do it?

I mean, you said yourself they're
happily married for 25 years.

- What the f*ck are you talking about?
- Happy marriage for 25 years.

And all of a sudden,
he just f*cking shoots your mom?

- Why are you asking me this?
- Why the hell would he do that?

- Why would your dad...
- Shut up! Shut up!

Why would your dad...
Shot your mom!

I told you that in confidence,
you as*h*le!

Why would your father
sh**t your mother?

- Why do you give a sh*t?
- And then f*cking hang himself?

No, stop!
I'm asking you to stop!

I'm literally
asking you to stop!

- He shot your mom!
- Stop it!

- Why would he possibly do it?
- I don't know!

There's no possible reason why
a man would do that to his wife!

This is my house!
Get the f*ck out of my house!

- Get out of my house!
- It doesn't make any sense here. Why?

Why would your father
sh**t your mother...

- Why do you give a sh*t?
- ...and then f*cking hang himself?

Why do you f*cking care?

It has nothing to f*cking do
with you, you piece of sh*t!

He loved her!
Nikki, why would he do it?

f*ck you! Stop it!

Your dad shot your mom

- and then he hung himself!
- Stop it! Stop it!

Nikki, we're not done yet!
Nikki!

Nikki, we're not done yet.

- Nikki! Nikki!
- f*ck you, as*h*le!

- Please! Are you f*cking insane?
- You wanna get f*cked?!

Shut your f*cking mouth,
you f*cking c**t!

Shut the f*ck up!

You want to it pry into my soul
for your dumb f*cking movie

that no one's
ever gonna f*cking see

because it's a dumb f*cking
movie,

and you think
it's so f*cking good?

You're not even gonna
book the part,

you f*cking as*h*le!

You want to interrogate me,

my father m*rder*d my mother
because she f*cking cheated him.

And then he k*lled himself...

- You're f*cking right!
- I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Nikki.

I'm just
acting. I'm just acting!

- I'm an actor, too!
- I'm an actor, please!

I'm an actor, too.

I'm an actor... I'm acting.

I'm acting.

So funny!

I like that.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

I am going to give...

such a nuanced performance.

What?

What?

What?

Well, I was just, um...

I was just wondering when we
were gonna talk about your TV career.

In the year 2000,

I hosted one of
the first female-led

ghost hunting reality TV shows
on network television.

It lasted half a season.
Got a bunch of negative reviews.

And that was that.

Wait, so... so you're an actor.

Why did you give it up?

I found my true calling.

Hmm.

Do you ever have, like,
an itch to get back to it?

No!

Okay.

The Mallam Extractum.

This is the preeminent text for
summoning and extracting spirits.

And this is
an original manuscript.

Great.

I use it as a guiding force
for my practices.

And the work begins now.

So, is this like...
Is it training then?

Oh, this is
more than training, Clayton.

This is evolution.
Here we go!

You are a worthy being.

I am a worthy being!

You are your own being.

I am my own being!

You are free of thought
and free of mind.

I am free of thought
and free of mind!

You are your best self!

I am my best self.

I am my best self!
I am my best self!

- Say it!
- I am my best self!

- Louder!
- I am my best self!

All right.
Close your eyes.

I want you
to think about your life.

Think about your family,

think about your friends...

boyfriends, girlfriends.

Now, tell me about
the worst day of your life.

There are plenty.

Pick one.

I called my mom a b*tch once.

Where's your mother now?

She left me.

And your father?

Off in Miami messing around
with his boy toy, Max.

I see.

Are they happy?

Yeah.

Clayton...

Yes.

Are you telling me
the truth about your mother?

I k*lled her.

I crashed my car,
and I k*lled her.

She was my best friend.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It is now time...

to perform the ritual.

Okay.

One last thing...

blood magic is essential
in luring a demon.

Yeah, how much blood do we need?

Oh, not your blood, sweetie.

Come here.

Think of your mother,
think of Donald.

Think of all your past failures.

Let them go.

At this point,

it is imperative
that your eyes remain closed.

But if my eyes are closed,
how am I gonna see the spirits?

Well, let's just say
you're gonna feel them.

Okay.

All right. Great.

So, once we begin the ritual,

it's very important that neither
of us leave the house.

Because, you see...

if the spirits escape whilst we're
in the process of summoning them,

we have no idea
what havoc they will create.

Clayton Walker...

your mind has been possessed
by evil spirits.

As I stand here before you,

I address the spirits that have
corrupted your every thought and desire.

Clayton Walker, do you hear me?

Yes.

Spirits inside of Clayton
Walker, do you hear me?

Whoa! Whoa!
What the f*ck!

What are you doing?
You've ruined it!

Ruined what? You just started
to f*cking stab me.

Oh, stop being neurotic. I'm
performing an ancient ritual.

f*ck this and f*ck the ritual!

Oh, Clayton.

Honey, slow down. Clayton.

Trusting that f*cking psycho!

God...

So, that's it?
You're giving up?

Well, I guess that's why you
don't get any of the roles you want.

Are you out of your mind?
You just tried to stab me.

Oh, come on.
It's an ancient ritual.

That was just an act of intimidation
designed to lure out the evil spirits.

It's just part of the process.

Yeah, well, I didn't see or feel
any evil spirits, did you?

Well, you did open your eyes
and run off, silly.

Yeah, I tend to do that when I see
someone raise a knife on me, Eliza!

- What? You think I'm going to...
- What?! What do you want?

You think I'm going to flip
a switch and extract a demon?

Well, you're going to flip
a switch and become a star.

I mean, let's get real.

After all of your years
as a failed actor,

I would expect you to understand
that anything that's worth having

takes patience, darling,
takes tenacity.

Oh, tenacity? Okay.

Well, I don't think I'm prepared
to wait out my whole life

for some evil spirits that may
or may not blow on my neck,

or do whatever
the f*ck they do, Eliza.

You were doing so well.

Why were you singing that song?

I know deep down you believe,
Clayton.

I can feel it in your soul.

Why don't I make us some tea?

You could take a bath,

take a little time to yourself.

Please, don't leave.

Tea is ready.

Okay.

Ahh.

You have a nice c*ck, darling.

Not too big, not too small.
Just perfect.

I don't see you returning
to your old life after all this.

I mean, let's face it,
it was pretty empty...

emotionally.

Boring.

What excites you, Clayton?

I don't know.

You know what excites me?

Death.

Okay.

- Then why haven't...
- Why haven't I k*lled myself?

Yeah.

I've been planning my exit into
hell for a very long time.

Last thing I want to do
is waste it on a simple suicide.

Your turn.

I wanna be a movie star.

Why do you want to be
a movie star, Clayton?

Because it's... it's validation,

proof I was right.

Can't you prove that
to yourself?

I mean, why do you need some
producer to prove that for you?

- No, it's not the same.
- Why?

Just because.

That's not an answer.

Because it's-it's obvious,
Eliza.

Is it?

You land a big role and then...

and then you deliver in that role
and you prove that you can do it.

I just...
I don't see the joy in that.

I mean, if I want to
prove something to myself,

I just...
prove it to myself.

Okay, well, then it's not...
It's not just for myself.

- Well, then, who is it for, Clayton?
- It's for everyone. Okay?

Everyone will know
they were wrong about me.

Everyone who thought...
Who thought I was a fool

for pursuing this life,
every other actor who...

Who thought
they were better than me.

I want to see them standing...

...on their miserable feet,

clapping for me. Clayton!

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Like this. Okay.

I could do that for you
right now, Clayton.

That's it.

Why don't you take a bow?

Take a bow, Clayton.
Take a bow.

Come on, sweetie.
Take a bow.

Where are you gonna be, sweetie?
Maybe up in the sky

- looking down at them?
- It doesn't f*cking matter.

It does not matter to me.

Just knowing that it's
happening, that's all that I need.

Okay. But who cares?
I mean, really.

I mean, you don't care about
them. They don't care about you.

You just told me
how miserable they all are.

I mean who cares?
Who cares?!

I do.

It makes you want to
punch Donald in the face

every time you see him,
don't you, darling?

Go on.

You tell me
what you want to do to him.

I want to cut his head off with a
buzz saw and put it in the dumpster.

You see,
if you let go of all that,

Donald doesn't matter...

none of it matters.

Only you matter, sweetie.

Only you.

I told my mom I would make it.

She believed I would make it.

I'm gonna make it.

Yes.

Oh, yes, darling.
Oh, yes.

Come here. Come here.

- Ooh.
- Let it go.

Clayton, honey.

What the f*ck?!

I just...

I just heard my...
I just heard my mom.

Yeah.

She's here.

Clayton, honey.

What the f*ck?

f*ck!
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

Come on!
How do I get out of here?

You don't.

Oh, yeah?

- f*ck!
- Clayton.

What's so funny?

You.

Why won't the window break?

Maybe you're not supposed to
leave here, Clayton.

Yeah, you wanna f*ck with me?

k*ll me. Come on. Come on.

Do it.

Come on. k*ll me. k*ll me.

Where is my mom?

Oh...

She's right in here.

Shh...

What do you want from me?

You see, I've been
thinking about what you said.

And I did want more out of life.

I always... wanted a family.

I-I actually wanted a son.

Let's see...

You do seem a little confused.

Perhaps this shall
help clear your mind.

Aah.

It was a trap.

My boy... we have a higher
calling to attend to.

Now, repeat after me.

Clayton, repeat!

Now, come to me.

Come to me, my son.

You're stupid! You're dumb!
Stupid! Dumb!

The green tea has
finally paralyzed your body.

Now, we can be together...

forever.

All I've ever wanted
is a child...

to feed... to bathe...
to love.

Clayton, I've been
waiting for you my whole life.

I'd really love it
if you would call me mom.

Mom.

Oh, it's so nice.

Yeah, it tickles me a little.

Mom.

Oh, no.

Mommy's right here.

Ooh, she's right here.

Where are you going?

I'm not normal.

What is normal, anyway?

Right? I guess...
like everyone else.

I get stupid thoughts sometimes.

I keep them to myself because I
don't want anyone thinking I'm a weirdo.

I wonder if everyone get strange
thoughts but just don't want to admit it.

I think we all get strange
thoughts.

You wanna know
what kind of thoughts I get?

Well... I can't tell you

because it's too embarrassing.

That was great.
Really, really great.

- Thank you.
- Really great, Donald.

Okay. Where do you guys...
where do you guys sh**t this one?

- We'll give you a call.
- Yeah? Okay, yeah.

The financing and all that
kinda... stuff.

Well, just give me a text,
call, email, DM.

I do it all.

Thank you. Thank you.
All right, bye, guys.

Crushed it!

Christ, he was awful.

Terrible.
High school acting.

He gets jobs?

Commercials mostly.

All right, who's next?

Ah, well, it was supposed to be
Clayton Walker.

He was supposed to be here
before Donald, but he didn't show.

I followed up with his agent,
but...

- You're kidding.
- I liked that guy.

- He-he was good.
- He was. Wasn't he?

He really had something special.

Yo, yo.

That was tight.

And... what is up, everybody?

Friday the 18th.

f*cking live streaming demonic...
It is gonna be insane.

Gaming, fun. If you don't come,
you're f*cking dead to me.

Seven PM eastern time,
18th, Friday.

Be there!

Yeah, so,
was sitting on this bench.

Yeah, my a*s on the bench.

And over here
it was just... a plant.

So I see this f*ck' plant,

and I decided
I'm gonna put it up my a*s.

Because it's that
kind of a*s plant.

Planted in my a*s.

I want it.
