Where are you?
I know you are here.
Come out.
You cannot get away from me, I will find you.
You've got the devil in you.
He's put evil inside of you.
Come out.
I know you are here.
Come out.
Where are you?
You can't hide from me.
We have to release the devil.
Ah, don't touch me!
No!
Release him!
No!
Stop!
Mommy, Daddy, help me!
Help me! Help me Daddy, help me!
Hi Grandmere!
Oh.
What are you doing?
First we build the altar.
Why?
When we live somewhere new,
we must make room for good spirits to come
and bad ones to go.
Mom says ghosts aren't real.
Mom doesn't know.
Well, Daddy says so, too.
Dad may not want to tell you but he knows.
We pray to our ancestors, not ghosts.
And we all have them.
You must respect them.
They will protect this family.
Can I try?
When you are much older, little one.
Grandmere, what's that?
This gives life to our prayers
and protects us from the evil eye.
We keep it close,
no evil can touch us.
Dad says you saw your mom killed
by a bad man in Haiti a long time ago.
And we have to be nice to you
because everyone knows you know...
That why you talk to ghosts?
Your father told you about Papa Doc Duvalier?
He told a little boy like you about that evil?
But...
Silly grandma.
It's my family and they do as I say.
Cheese!
No!
Wait!
Grandma, you have to smile!
No, no!
- Smile! - No!
No pictures now.
Smile Grandma!
No pictures!
- Smile! - No!
No! No, no no no!
- Let me go! - No, no, no!
Mama!
She grabbed me!
I told him no pictures.
He takes them anyway!
He should show respect.
Mom,
it's a lot, I know.
But we all just have to give and take a little.
Rex just isn't accustomed to so much resistance.
We try to keep our interactions really positive and...
we don't use the No word.
Petit garçon should show respect.
Look, I know we do things differently but we love our son.
We don't want him to fear us
or feel like he can't be his true self.
We want him to trust us and make the right choice.
We'd like you to respect that.
Why don't you take a picture of Daddy and me?
Say cheese!
Cheese!
This protects us from the evil eye.
We'll keep it close, no evil can touch us.
You must make room
for good spirits to come and bad ones to go.
What are you doing?
Mama! Rex was only playing,
- he didn't mean it. - No!
He destroyed the altar!
They will be angry, now evil will come!
Look, look! No protection! He did that!
Daddy, she made me smoke.
- I did not... - Who let's a child smoke?
She made me smoke a pipe.
- No! - But I didn't...
I listened to you before.
I listened to you my entire life and I was afraid.
And now you're scaring my son.
It's not about you or your beliefs.
I don't want to hear anything about spirits
or my son smoking anything.
If you're gonna be here, respect my rules.
- Do you understand? - I did not let him smoke.
So he was making a...
John!
I'm sorry, Grandmere.
They're only things, they can be replaced.
Mama, we came to apologize.
Desi, we understand how difficult
this transition has been,
you'd barely seen Rex since he was on bottles,
moving up from Miami,
it's all so different.
We just would like to have respect and be respected.
That's right!
We had the same conversation with Rex.
He feels awful about breaking your display.
Altar!
Altar, right, yes.
See, I'm learning, too!
Rex has a gift for you.
We told him all about you and Haiti and he just,
he wants to show you that he's interested in your culture.
He's kind of obsessed with you.
His culture, too.
Exactly!
C'mon, Ma,
we're all trying here.
- _ - Surprise!
Haiti's an island, it's beautiful.
It has water everywhere and very nice people,
like Grandmere!
But then, the earthquake came.
Buildings fall and a lot of people died.
But the water's still there.
There was magic there.
It's called voodoo.
Dad thinks it's stories but I think it's real.
Some people say it protects the president in Haiti.
People call him...
Papa Doc Duvalier.
Some people say Papa Doc was evil like the anti-Christ.
So they tried to get rid of him.
But he stayed president for a long, long time.
He controlled the whole country
with his powerful army, the Tonton Macoute.
He murdered all their voodoo priests.
He killed a lot of people,
remember that, Grandmere?
Remember your mother and Tonton Macoute, Grandmere?
Mommy and Daddy only answer to me,
like I'm Papa Doc and they're my Tonton Macoute.
Papa Doc was no priest,
and you are not Papa Doc!
But you have some kind of evil inside of you
all your own!
Mommy, Daddy, leave!
Grandmere,
it's only you and me now.
Mommy, Daddy, leave!
Grandmere?
Where are you?
I'm right here!
Nope, nevermind.
Release him!
Help me! Help me, Daddy, help me!
Release him! Release him!
- Release him! - No!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
We have to release
- the devil inside the petit garçon... - Make her go!
Release him! He's got the...
He's got the devil in him!
We need to fight!
- We need to fight! - Enough! I'm tired of ghost stories!
Get her out!
John!
Son, no!
Daddy, no!
Help me...
Please, please help me.
Help me, please!
Please!
Please, help me, help me...
Please, help me...
Please! Please!
Say goodbye to Grandma!
Goodbye, Grandma!
