LEAH: ESTHER, THAT'S NOT FUNNY.
[ Esther laughing ]
YOU COULD'VE GIVEN ME A HEART
ATTACK.
ALL THAT SCREAMING I THOUGHT
YOU ALREADY HAD A HEART ATTACK.
I COULD HEAR YOU ALL THE WAY
FROM THE KITCHEN.
SO YOU KNEW I WAS HAVING A
NIGHTMARE.
AND YOU STILL TRIED TO COME IN
AND SCARE ME?
TRIED? YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR
FACE.
[ Esther laughing ]
YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO LET
YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS, RIGHT?
WHY WERE YOU EVEN UP IN THE
KITCHEN AT THIS HOUR?
Esther: WELL, I KIND OF WOKE UP
THIRSTY SO I WENT TO GO GET A
DRINK.
AND THEN I HEARD YOU.
AND, SO INSTEAD OF COMING IN TO
COMFORT ME...
YOU JUST DECIDED TO BE A LITTLE
JERK, INSTEAD?
[ Esther laughing ]
[ tender music ]
Esther: WHAT WERE YOU DREAMING
ABOUT?
IT WAS NOTHING.
DO YOU EVER DREAM ABOUT DADDY?
NOT REALLY, LATELY. JUST THE
NIGHTMARES.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
NOT AS MUCH AS I USED TO.
MOSTLY IT'S ABOUT AYALA, ESTI,
ABBY...
AND OUR OLD HOUSE.
Leah: WE'LL SEE EVERYONE SOON.
ONE OF THESE WEEKENDS AFTER
SHABBAT WE'LL GO FOR A VISIT,
OKAY?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I'M NOT
DREAMING ABOUT HIM ANYMORE?
AM I FORGETTING HIM?
NO.
Leah: YOU'RE JUST GETTING USED
TO OUR NEW LIFE.
Leah: YOUR FATHER'S NOT COMING
BACK.
AS SOON AS WE CAN REALIZE THAT
AND REALLY COPE WITH IT, THE
BETTER.
DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?
I'M GETTING USED TO IT. IT'S
DIFFERENT. QUIET.
AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MANY
CHANCES TO MAKE FRIENDS.
BESIDES GRACE.
YOU'RE A NICE GIRL.
GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
OKAY?
AND WE'LL BRANCH OUT. WE'LL
CHECK OUT THE TEMPLE.
WE'LL CHECK OUT THE SCHOOL IN
LANCASTER.
AND YOU'LL MAKE SOME GOOD
FRIENDS.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT ABOUT ME?
WELL, DO YOU LIKE IT HERE?
YOUR GRANDMA AND GRANDPA USED
TO TAKE US...
UP TO UPSTATE NEW YORK IN THE
SUMMER.
AND IT WAS... REALLY PEACEFUL
AND QUIET.
BEAUTIFUL.
KIND OF LIKE IT IS HERE. SO
YEAH. I LIKE IT.
I'M GLAD.
[ mysterious music ]
[ mellow guitar music ]
[ newspaper lands ]
[ ominous music ]
[ mellow guitar music continues
]
[ footsteps on stairs ]
I THOUGHT I SMELLED SOMETHING
GOOD.
WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU THIS
MORNING?
I THOUGHT TAKING THE BIKE WOULD
WEAR ME OUT AND -
-HELP ME FALL BACK ASLEEP, BUT
IT DID THE OPPOSITE.
FIGURED I'D MAKE MYSELF USEFUL.
COFFEE'S STILL FRESH.
THANK YOU.
AND YOU MADE ENOUGH FOR ESTHER.
SHE SLEEP WITH YOU AGAIN?
YEAH, UM. I HAD ANOTHER
NIGHTMARE AND SHE CAME IN TO
CHECK ON ME.
Leah: ENDED UP STAYING.
WHAT TIME?
TWO.
Leah: WHY?
OH, NOTHING.
Maya: I JUST THOUGHT I HEARD
HER IN HER ROOM WHEN I GOT UP
AT THREE.
I WAS TIRED, THOUGH.
Leah: I BET.
WELL, THE NEXT FEW WEEKS OFF
OUGHT TO BE NICE.
YEAH, NOT FOR MY WALLET.
WHAT ARE YOU MISSING?
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING TO BUY
OUT HERE, ANYWAY.
GEE, THANKS MOM. RUB IT IN.
THANK YOU, HONEY. FOR BREAKFAST.
I NEVER WOULD'VE HAD TIME TO
MAKE ANYTHING THAT GOOD.
EVEN IF YOU HAD TIME, WE KNOW
I'M THE BETTER COOK.
OH YEAH?
SO, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN HAVING
NIGHTMARES ABOUT?
I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT IT.
IT'S REALLY DISTURBING. I HAVE
NO IDEA WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
LET'S JUST NOT. OKAY?
MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING YOU NEED
TO TALK THROUGH.
Maya: ESPECIALLY IF IT'S
HAPPENING EVERY NIGHT.
I MEAN...
WE COULD TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT,
YOU KNOW?
THERE'S NOTHING TO FIGURE OUT.
Leah: NEW HOUSE. NEW
ENVIRONMENT.
JACOB.
THAT'S IT.
IF YOU SAY SO.
OR. MAYBE IT IS SOMETHING.
ESTHER'S BEEN SEEING-
MAYA. SHHHH.
WHAT HAS ESTHER BEEN SEEING?
UM, SHE'S JUST TALKING A LOT.
IN HER SLEEP.
Maya: WAKING UP ALL HOURS OF
THE NIGHT.
WELL, THAT'S PRETTY NORMAL.
WE ALL JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF SETTLING IN TO DO.
OKAY? GOT TO GO. LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU TOO.
[ mysterious music ]
REAL FUNNY, FAKER. SINCE WHEN
DID YOU BECOME A NINJA, HUH?
HOW'D YOU DO THAT?
WHAT THE HECK?
Esther: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
I THINK I JUST SAW SAMANTHA.
NAIRA: ROUGH DAY SO FAR?
NAIRA: THE DOOR WAS CRACKED
OPEN.
I KNOCKED BUT YOU DIDN'T EVEN
BLINK.
YEAH, SORRY.
THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON.
I FORGET THERE'S A WORLD
OUTSIDE OF THESE FORMS.
YOU NEED TO ENJOY YOUR BREAK,
LEAH. OTHERWISE WHAT'S THE
POINT?
YOU'RE RIGHT. I'LL EAT.
Naira: NO
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP
WORKING UNLESS YOU GET AWAY
FROM THAT DESK.
WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME OUTSIDE
FOR A STROLL?
LAPS AROUND THE PARKING LOT?
THE WOODS IN THE BACK OF THE
LOT HAVE TRAILS -
THAT CONNECT THE DIFFERENT
BUSINESSES. IT'S INTERESTING.
I GO TO CLEAR MY HEAD.
AND AVOID STARING AT THE SAME
BORING FACES I'M ALREADY
LOOKING AT-
Naira: IN HERE ALL DAY.
THANK YOU.
OF COURSE. I TOLD YOU I HAD
YOUR JOB FOR A COUPLE YEARS.
I KNOW IF YOU DON'T DRAG
YOURSELF AWAY YOU'LL JUST BURN
OUT.
WHICH ISN'T GOOD FOR ANYBODY.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS
AT HOME.
DO YOU?
NOPE.
I HAD A HUSBAND FOR THE FIRST
FEW YEARS I WORKED HERE.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING
INVESTORS.
HELPED YOUR BROTHER BUILD THIS
PLACE.
'HAD A HUSBAND'?
HE PASSED AWAY THREE YEARS AGO.
I'M SO SORRY.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?
[ scoffs ]
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE.
WHAT? A WIDOW?
NO, THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU TELL THEM YOUR PARENTS DIED
IN A CAR CRASH -
THEY LOST THEIR FATHER IN A
PLANE CRASH.
AND THEIR MOTHER AFTER SHE
BATTLED CANCER FOR 200 YEARS.
THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO ONE-UP YOU.
MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THEM.
NOT DOING THAT.
OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT.
[ laughs ]
WE SUFFERED SIMILAR LOSSES
THOUGH. IT'S OKAY TO TALK ABOUT
IT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO COMPARE NOTES
OR ANYTHING.
FAIR ENOUGH.
AND, YOU'D WIN ANYWAY.
ALEX DIED IN HIS SLEEP. UNKNOWN
CAUSES.
AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO TALK TO
THE KIDS ABOUT IT. COULDN'T
IMAGINE.
EVERY HEART KNOWS IT OWN GRIEF.
YOU DO HAVE SOMETHING TO
REMEMBER HIM BY.
YEAH.
HOW LONG WERE YOU GUYS TOGETHER?
WE WERE HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS.
EIGHT YEARS.
WE WANTED TO EXPLORE THE WORLD
BEFORE HAVING KIDS.
SO WE WERE HOLDING OFF UNTIL WE
WERE 35.
Naira: THEN HE PASSED. VERY
SUDDENLY.
Naira: AND WE LOST THAT CHANCE.
ALTHOUGH HE DID LEAVE ME A
FORTUNE.
AND THAT DOESN'T COME WITH
MESSY DIAPERS OR TEENAGE ANGST,
OR...
ANY OF THAT NONSENSE.
[ both laughing ]
[ eerie music ]
WHAT IS THAT?
AH, THE PEOPLE HERE ARE VERY
SUPERSTITIOUS.
THIS IS AN OFFERING FOR
CONTINUED PROSPERITY.
DID SOMEONE WE WORK WITH DO
THAT?
Naira: POSSIBLE.
BUT 30 OTHER BUSINESSES OPERATE
OUT OF THIS INDUSTRIAL PARK.
COULD BE ONE OR THE OTHER.
COULD BE ALL.
DO PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE IN
THAT STUFF?
BUSINESS HAS BEEN GOOD.
[ eerie music ]
[ peaceful, ambient music ]
[ all three in Hebrew ]
BLESSED ARE YOU, LORD, OUR GOD
[ in Hebrew ]
SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE.
[ in Hebrew ]
WHO HAS SANCTIFIED US WITH HIS
COMMANDMENTS
[ in Hebrew ]
AND COMMANDED US -
[ in Hebrew ]
TO LIGHT THE LIGHTS OF SHABBAT.
Leah: SO, DID YOU GUYS GO OUT
TODAY?
Maya: YEAH, WE TOOK A DRIVE.
FOUND A NICE PARK BY THE SCHOOL
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN.
HOW WAS IT?
Esther: IT WAS OKAY.
I DIDN'T FIND ANYBODY MY AGE.
WELL, DUH. WE DIDN'T SEE
ANYONE, GENIUS.
NO ONE WANTS TO BE OUT IN THE
COLD EXCEPT OUR LONELY BUTTS.
[ Esther laughs ]
THER'ES GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE
WHERE THEY HANG OUT INDOORS.
YEAH, THE GAS STATION, MAYBE.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE AROUND
HERE.
WELL, GRACE AND HER FAMILY ARE
GETTING BACK TONIGHT OR
TOMORROW, RIGHT?
Maya: YEAH, THANK GOD.
THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
LANCASTER.
CAN WE? AFTER SHABBAT?
NOT THIS WEEKEND, THOUGH.
Leah: SORRY.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE SOME THINGS I
NEED TO MAKE UP FOR AT WORK.
BUT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ALL
WEEK.
Leah: I KNOW.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
I HAVE TO GO IN TOMORROW NIGHT.
I HAVE SOME THINGS I NEED TO
TAKE CARE OF.
I'LL TRY TO GET EVERYTHING DONE
SO I'M OFF ON SUNDAY, BUT...
Leah: NO PROMISES.
WE HAVE THIS BIG CLIENT THAT
MIGHT SIGN ON.
AND WE'RE MEETING WITH HIM ON
MONDAY.
I REALLY NEED TO GO IN PREPARED.
ALL THIS OVERTIME. YOUR FIRST
PAYCHECK BETTER BE HUGE.
Leah: IT WILL BE.
AND I'LL BUY YOU GUYS WHATEVER
YOU WANT.
FROM THE BIG GAS STATION IN
TOWN.
[ girls laugh ]
[ distant knock on door ]
[ gasps ]
[ ominous music ]
[ louder knocking on door ]
[ door creaks loudly ]
UM, HI.
BLACK EYED KID: HI. I LIVE
RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.
I'M LOCKED OUT OF MY HOUSE.
CAN I COME IN AND USE YOUR
PHONE?
UM, LET ME JUST ASK MY SISTER.
I'LL ONLY BE A MINUTE. IT'S SO
COLD OUT.
Black Eyed Kid: CAN I?
OKAY, COME IN.
WE DON'T HAVE A HOUSE PHONE SET
UP. I'LL HAVE TO BORROW A CELL.
WAIT HERE, OKAY?
OKAY.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
YEAH, JUST... LET ME GO GET THE
PHONE.
[ soft knocking ]
YOU KNOCK AND THEN WAIT FOR AN
ANSWER, WORM.
THERE'S A GIRL DOWNSTAIRS.
SHE SAYS SHE'S LOCKED OUT OF
HER HOUSE AND NEEDS TO USE A
PHONE.
WHAT THE HELL?
I'M TELLING MOM YOU SAID THAT.
AND I'LL TELL HER YOU LET
SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE WITHOUT
PERMISSION.
HOW OLD IS SHE?
MY AGE.
WELL, IF SHE GOT LOCKED OUT OF
HER HOUSE SHE WALKED A LONG WAY
TO GET HERE.
YOU KNOW THE FARMERS ARE THE
ONLY ONES ON THE BLOCK.
[ ominous music ]
[ crickets ]
SHE'S GONE.
BUT, WHY WOULD SHE JUST LEAVE?
Maya: MAYBE HER PARENTS CAME
LOOKING FOR HER.
MAYBE SHE'S STILL HERE.
SHE KIND OF CREEPED ME OUT.
SHE HAD REALLY, REALLY DARK EYES
SHE WAS A KID, RIGHT?
I'LL KICK THE SNOT OUT OF HER,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
WORM. I GOT YOUR BACK. CHILL.
IF SHE WAS HERE, WE'D KNOW.
[ eerie music ]
[ feet scraping on concrete ]
[ shrieks ]
Esther: WAS THAT SAMANTHA?
I THINK SO.
WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT?
Maya: THAT'S SAMANTHA, ISN'T IT?
YEAH, BUT WHO'S THIS OTHER GIRL?
SHE WASN'T AT THE DOOR?
[ doorbell ringing ]
WHO'S USING THE BACK DOOR?
ARE WE EXPECTING SOMEONE?
NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.
EW, YOU GUYS ARE A MESS.
CLEAN YOURSELVES UP, I'LL GET
IT.
[ Maya smacks her butt ]
[ Esther laughs ]
CHRIS FARMER: GOOD MORNING, I
HOPE WE'RE NOT COMING OVER TOO
EARLY.
WE LITERALLY JUST GOT BACK AND
- WELL, WE BROUGHT SOME STUFF
FOR YOU.
ANGELA: AND SOME COOKIES FROM
ONE OF THE KOSHER MARKETS.
ANGELA: THE BAG'S IN THERE.
GRACE: [mouths ] HELP ME.
Esther: SO, YOU'RE WALKING THE
GIFT SHOPS.
Esther: PROBABLY EATING ORGANIC
ICE CREAM. CHECKING EVERYTHING
OUT.
AND YOU SEE THIS. AND YOU THINK
- 'YEAH, ESTHER'.
IT'S HOMEMADE.
I CAN TELL.
WORM, YOU ARE SUCH A BRAT.
[ Grace laughs ]
I KNOW. I LIKE IT, THOUGH.
THANKS GRACE.
YOU'RE WELCOME. AND NEXT TIME,
WE NEED TO GO.
JUST US. MAYA CAN DO THE
DRIVING.
NOT IF YOU WANT TO GET THERE IN
ONE PIECE.
[ Grace laughs ]
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
AND IT WAS ABOUT TIME YOU GOT
BACK. WE WERE GOING A LITTLE
STIR CRAZY.
WE FINALLY MAKE A FRIEND HERE,
AND THEN YOU'RE GONE FOR A WEEK.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS LIKING THE
HOUSE, SO FAR?
Maya: IT'S NICE.
I'M GETTING USED TO THE QUIET,
AND...
THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE AROUND,
BUT...
DID YOU TALK TO THE PEOPLE WHO
LIVED HERE BEFORE?
Grace: WE TRIED.
COOKIES AND EVERYTHING. BUT
THEY WEREN'T VERY FRIENDLY.
DID ANYONE DIE THERE?
I KNEW IT! IT IS HAUNTED, ISN'T
IT?
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?
A BLONDE GIRL. HER NAME'S
SAMANTHA.
THEIR DAUGHTER'S NAME WAS
JULIE. SHE WAS BRUNETTE.
AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY
ELSE.
NO ONE ELSE HAS DIED HERE TO MY
KNOWLEDGE.
THEY JUST PACKED UP AND LEFT.
Chris: YEAH, WE CALL THEM 'THE
DEVIL FAMILY.'
THE DEVLINS.
[ reflective music ]
THEY MOVED HERE IN MARCH AND
WERE GONE BY THE NEW YEAR.
WHY THE NICKNAME?
LET'S JUST SAY THEY WERE A
LITTLE WEIRD.
NO MORE WEIRD THAN ANYONE ELSE
AROUND HERE, THOUGH.
Chris: COME ON NOW, EVERYONE
ELSE AT LEAST TALKS TO US.
WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO MAKE
SURE THAT NEW NEIGHBORS FEEL
WELCOME.
THE DEVLINS? NOTHING.
KEPT THEIR KID INSIDE ALL THE
TIME.
LITERALLY SHOOED US AWAY
ANYTIME WE WOULD TRY TO COME
AROUND.
THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH
US.
DID YOU SURPRISE THEM WITH
COOKIES ON A SATURDAY MORNING?
[ chuckling ]
Leah: JUST KIDDING. I
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING ME
OVER.
MOST PEOPLE AROUND HERE SEEM TO
REALLY KEEP TO THEMSELVES.
IT IS A VERY PRIVATIVE
COMMUNITY.
BUT PEOPLE ARE NICE ENOUGH ONCE
YOU GET TO KNOW THEM.
Angela: AND AT THE VERY LEAST,
THERE'S NEVER ANY TROUBLE.
WE MOVED FROM A PRETTY ROUGH
NEIGHBORHOOD IN PHILLY.
AND IT WAS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.
BUT I WILL TAKE QUIET AND WEIRD
OVER WHERE WE CAME FROM ANY DAY.
IT DOES SEEM SAFE.
WE LOCK OUR DOORS, ALMOST OUT
OF HABIT THESE DAYS, BUT...
NO ONE ELSE DOES. WELL...
THEY DID FOR A WHILE AFTER THE
UH....
CHRIS, DO YOU HAVE TO?
IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, BUT THERE
WAS A BEAR ATTACK THE YEAR WE
MOVED IN.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE BEARS
AROUND HERE.
Chris: WELL, THERE AREN'T
REALLY.
Chris: A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORS
LEAVE FOOD OUTSIDE THEIR HOUSE
FOR...
RELIGIOUS REASONS.
THE SHERIFF SEEMS TO THINK THAT
A LONE AND HUNGRY BEAR HAPPENED
BY
SMELLING THE FOOD.
Chris: WELL, HE KNOCKED DOWN A
DOOR AND HE MAULED A GUY TO
DEATH.
IT WAS PRETTY BAD.
Angela: BUT THEY SHOT AN
AGGRESSIVE BLACK BEAR A FEW
DAYS LATER.
AND IT WAS MILES FROM HERE.
AND NO ONE HAS SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THAT IN THIS COUNTY EVER
SINCE.
IT'S SAFE TO BE OUTSIDE.
GOOD TO KNOW.
WE JUST DON'T LEAVE ANY FOOD
OUT.
Maya: THERE'S NOTHING THERE,
REALLY.
THEY JUST TALK ABOUT THEIR
LIVES AT HOME.
JULIE MENTIONS HER BROTHER
BEING GONE.
Maya: SAMANTHA DIDN'T HAVE ANY
SIBLINGS AND SHE NEVER KNEW HER
MOM.
SOUNDED LIKE HER DAD HAD A
DRINKING PROBLEM.
JULIE WROTE ABOUT SCHOOL.
Grace: YEAH.
THEY WRITE LIKE THEY'RE PEN
PALS AND NOT RELATIVES.
MAYBE SAMANTHA DIDN'T LIVE
THERE.
SO, WHY IS SHE HERE NOW?
HAVE YOU GUYS THOUGHT ABOUT
TRYING TO CONTACT HER?
I DON'T THINK SAMANTHA CAN TALK.
I TRIED BUT I COULD NEVER HEAR
HER VOICE.
Grace: I MEAN, THERE ARE OTHER
WAYS.
SUCH AS?
Grace: OUIJA BOARD. AUTOMATIC
WRITING.
GHOST APPS.
LIKE ANY OF THAT STUFF WOULD
WORK.
EVEN IF IT DID, WE'RE NOT
ALLOWED TO.
Grace: IT COULD WORK.
Grace: BEFORE I MOVED HERE, MY
FRIENDS AND I, WE DID A OUIJA
BOARD ONCE.
AND, YOU MADE CONTACT WITH
SOMETHING?
Grace: YEAH, WE DID.
Grace: IT WAS...
FIVE YEARS AGO. I DON'T
REMEMBER EVERYTHING, AND -
WE HAVEN'T DONE IT EVER AGAIN.
BUT WE DEFINITELY MADE CONTACT
WITH SOMEBODY.
MAYA. YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT
ALLOWED TO DO SEANCES.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF A SEANCE,
WORM?
Esther: TO TALK TO SPIRITS.
AND YOU HAVEN'T TRIED TO TALK
TO SAMANTHA, ALREADY?
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
IS IT, THOUGH?
YES. SOME CREEPY GHOST GIRL
SHOWS UP IN MY ROOM IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
LOOK, I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU
DID.
BUT, SAMANTHA'S OBVIOUSLY
SHOWING HERSELF TO US FOR A
REASON.
Maya: I THINK WE SHOULD DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO FIGURE OUT
WHY.
Maya: DON'T YOU?
[ reflective music fades out ]
[ gasps ]
[ menacing music ]
[ breathing heavy ]
IT'S JUST A REFLECTION.
[ phone rings loud ]
WHOAH. EASY THERE.
SORRY, JUST A BIT JUMPY.
WHAT'S GOING ON LEAH?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING OVER
THERE.
MY NEIGHBORS TOLD ME ABOUT THE
BEAR ATTACK A FEW YEARS AGO
HERE.
AND THEN I KEEP THINKING ABOUT
THE WEIRD STUFF IN THE WOODS.
WEIRD, BUT HARMLESS. THEY'RE
ALL MEANT FOR PROTECTION.
AND THE BEARS...
Leah: AREN'T AROUND ANYMORE, I
HEARD.
IF YOU'RE THIS ON EDGE, MAYBE
YOU SHOULD TAKE OFF.
YOU'VE HAD A LONG HARD WEEK,
AND NEXT WEEK IS ONLY GOING TO
BE WORSE.
I KNOW.
I JUST WANTED TO GET A
JUMP-START WITH UBS COMING IN.
Naira: YOU'LL BE FINE, TRUST ME.
GO HOME TO YOUR GIRLS.
HOW ARE THEY GETTING ALONG HERE?
Leah: THEY'RE DOING OKAY.
THEY COULD PROBABLY BENEFIT
FROM ME BEING AROUND MORE.
DEFINITELY.
YOU ALL NEED THAT.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE TRAGEDY
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHICH...
WHAT?
Leah: I KNOW ORTHODOX
COMMUNITIES ARE VERY TIGHT KNIT.
SO... I'M GLAD YOU CAME, TRUST ME.
[ emotional music ]
BUT MOST PEOPLE DEPEND ON THEIR
COMMUNITIES WHEN THE WORST
HAPPENS.
YET, YOU...
LEFT ALL THAT AND FOUND YOUR
WAY HERE WHERE YOU...
BASICALLY KNEW NO ONE.
Naira: EXCEPT A DISTANT BROTHER.
Naira: WE ALL GRIEVE
DIFFERENTLY.
AND IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS. WHY...
I - I WANT TO FINISH UP A FEW
NUMBERS AND GET HOME TO THE
GIRLS.
WE CAN TALK SOME OTHER TIME,
THOUGH.
OKAY. LUNCH TOMORROW?
MY TREAT.
NOT UNLESS THERE'S A KOSHER
PLACE NEARBY THAT I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT.
JUST BRING YOUR PACKED LUNCH
LIKE YOU DO HERE.
AND I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO TREAT
YOU TO MY DAZZLING PERSONALITY-
-AND SOME COFFEE.
YOU CAN DO THAT, RIGHT?
MIGHT HAVE TO BRING MY OWN MUG?
Naira: FINE.
YOU IN? PLEASE?
OKAY. YEAH.
SOUNDS GOOD.
[ emotional music fades ]
Maya: OKAY, THANKS DENISE.
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TOO
MUCH, BUT...
SHE DID SAY NO ONE ELSE EVER
LIVED WITH THE DEVLINS TO HER
KNOWLEDGE.
I FIGURED.
AND OTHER THAN AN ELDERLY MAN
NO ONE'S DIED HERE EITHER.
SO MAYBE SAMANTHA FOLLOWED THEM
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE?
MAYBE.
YOU FIND THE ADDRESSES?
Grace: YEAH. THEY LIVED IN
OHIO. THEY'RE IN DELAWARE NOW.
BUT THEY LIVED IN SELAH FOR 15
YEARS BEFORE THEY CAME HERE.
AND THEY HAD A SON WHO JUST
DISAPPEARED.
HERE.
ANDREW DISAPPEARED ON DECEMBER
24TH SOMETIME BETWEEN-
11PM AND 7AM.
LOTS OF PEOPLE GO MISSING
AROUND THERE, APPARENTLY.
MOSTLY KIDS. RUNAWAYS AND STUFF.
WHY?
Grace: THEY'RE LIKE A CULT. THE
ENTIRE TOWN.
Grace: THEY...
KEEP TO THEMSELVES AND THEY'RE
JUST WEIRD.
NO WONDER PEOPLE RUN FOR IT.
YOU READY?
[ door closes ]
Esther: HI MOM.
Leah: HEY SWEETIE.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH, YEAH I'M JUST TIRED.
IT WAS A LONG DAY.
YEAH, YOU WORKED LIKE FOUR
HOURS.
I MEANT THE WHOLE DAY.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR WORKING
AFTER SHABBAT
INSTEAD OF SPENDING TIME WITH
ME.
I PROMISE, I WON'T MAKE A HABIT
OF IT.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'LL BE HOME
TOMORROW?
Leah: NO.
ESTHER, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
LIKE THIS FOREVER.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AT WORK
FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
THE HOLIDAYS. NEW CLIENTS.
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST.
I KNOW. BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT
ANY EASIER NOW.
WHEN YOU SAID WE WERE MOVING
HERE
I AT LEAST EXPECTED TO HAVE
SOME TIME WITH YOU.
COME HERE.
JUST, TWO MORE WEEKS OKAY? THEN
IT'S GOING TO START SLOWING
DOWN.
Leah: AFTER THE NEW YEAR WE CAN
GET YOU SETTLED INTO SCHOOL.
Leah: YOU'LL MEET SOME PEOPLE.
[ tender, emotional music ]
RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHAT MOMMY
NEEDS.
THAT'S SO SELFISH. I'M REALLY
SORRY.
I PROMISE, I'LL MAKE IT UP TO
YOU, OKAY?
DON'T.
DO WHAT YOU NEED TO. I
UNDERSTAND.
YOU LOST YOUR FATHER. IT'S NOT
ALL ABOUT ME.
HE WAS YOUR HUSBAND. YOU KNEW
HIM LONGER.
PLUS YOU HAVE A LOT MORE THINGS
TO WORRY ABOUT THAN I DO.
LIKE TAKING CARE OF US.
ALTHOUGH I DO WANT TO GO FOR
ICE CREAM SOON.
MAYBE WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN
AND CALL IT EVEN.
DEAL.
SO, WE START WITH IT ON THE
LETTER 'G'
AND WE BOTH HAVE TO BE TOUCHING
IT.
WHY THE LETTER 'G'?
I DON'T KNOW.
SAMANTHA.
YOU'VE SHOWN YOURSELF AND
ESTHER AND MAYA, NOW.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO TELL THEM.
SOMETHING YOU'RE TRYING TO
COMMUNICATE.
Grace: ARE YOU THERE? DO YOU
WANT OUR HELP?
IS THERE ANYONE THERE?
WE WANT TO HELP YOU, IF WE CAN.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU.
Grace: PLEASE?
[ unsettling music ]
THIS IS SAMANTHA. THIS IS
SAMANTHA.
OH, YOU BEOTCH.
[ Maya laughing ]
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON
YOUR FACE.
YOU WERE SO EXCITED. 'THIS IS
SAMANTHA. THIS IS SAMANTHA.'
SCREW YOU!
NO ONE ELSE WAS ANSWERING.
YEAH, I GUESS WE SHOULD CALL IT
QUITS.
Maya: WE CAN ALWAYS TRY AGAIN
AT LIKE MIDNIGHT OR SOMETHING.
IS THERE A REASON YOUR BUTT'S
IN MY FACE?
Maya: YOU OKAY?
MAYA? MAYA LOOK.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU WROTE THIS
BEHIND YOUR BACK WHEN I WASN'T
LOOKING.
Grace: I DIDN'T.
[ eerie music ]
YOU'RE DREAMING.
GET UP. RIGHT NOW.
Esther: WHAT?
ESTHER. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP.
IT'S IN THE ROOM WITH YOU.
[ coughing ]
[ feet landing in dust ]
WORM? ESTHER!
WHAT?
Maya: WHAT HAPPENED? WHY ARE
YOU ON THE FLOOR? WHAT?
WHAT IS THIS STUFF?
Esther: I DON'T KNOW. I'M TIRED.
OKAY, WELL WE NEED TO CLEAN
THIS UP RIGHT NOW.
THEN YOU CAN GO BACK TO SLEEP.
FINE.
GO IN THE BATHROOM. I'LL BE
RIGHT THERE.
Naira: MOFONGO WITH SHRIMP. A
SIDE OF SWEET POTATO FRIES.
Naira: AND A BOWL OF FRENCH
ONION SOUP.
[ elevator music ]
THAT SHRIMP ALONE IS ALMOST $30.
Naira: I'M DOING YOU A FAVOR.
DO YOU WANT MANDY TO SPIT IN
YOUR COFFEE?
THE TIP FROM OUR DRINKS ALONE
AIN'T GOING TO HELP HER.
'MISSUS KOSHER'.
YOURS WILL... YOU DRUNK.
[ Naira laughs ]
Naira: SPEAKING OF DRUNK, I
BETTER GET TO WORK ON THAT.
I WANT CARL TO BELIEVE ME WHEN
I TELL HIM I HAVE HEADACHE AND
NEED REST.
MORALES: I HOPE YOU'RE NOT
DRIVING AFTER THAT, MRS. GRANT.
NOT A CHANCE.
I BROUGHT A DESIGNATED DRIVER.
MEET, LEAH BLOOMFIELD.
BLOOMFIELD.
YOU MOVED UP TO THE PLACE ON
GREEN GROVE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
YES. NICE TO MEET YOU, SIR.
SHERIFF. JOSE MORALES.
ORTHODOX JEWISH FAMILY.
YES SIR.
WAIT, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A
RUMOR, I MEAN...
YOU'RE NOT... WEARING A...
WIG?
Morales: YEAH.
[ laughs ]
WIG.
Leah: WE ONLY WEAR THOSE WHEN
WE'RE MARRIED.
MOST OF THE TIME.
Morales: NOTED. WELL, IN ANY
EVENT...
WELCOME TO THE COUNTY.
I HOPE THEY'RE TREATING YOU
GOOD AROUND HERE.
SOME PEOPLE AROUND HERE TEND TO
BE A LITTLE BIT UM...
PARTICULAR.
BUT... BUT HARMLESS.
I'VE SEEN SOME OF THAT.
Morales: YEAH...
NAIRA'S HUSBAND HELPED ME
NAVIGATE HOW THEY DO THINGS
AROUND HERE.
Morales: WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE
AND UH...
Morales: HOW NOT TO STEP ON
ANYONE'S TOES.
HE WAS A GOOD MAN. AND SMART.
THAT HE WAS.
YOU NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS
ONE.
OH TOO LATE. I ALREADY HAVE MY
HOOKS IN HER.
[ Morales chuckles ]
HAVE A GREAT DAY LADIES.
NICE TO MEET YOU LEAH.
YOU TOO, SHERIFF.
I TALKED TO A RABBI A YEAR AGO
ABOUT THE OCCULT.
NOT EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY
REALLY BELIEVES IN THAT STUFF,
BUT...
Maya: HE TOLD ME THERE WERE A
LOT OF WAYS THAT -
PEOPLE WOULD TRY TO COMMUNICATE
WITH SPIRITS.
ONE OF THEM WAS... THEY WOULD
TAKE A BLACK CAT'S ASHES AND
DRAW
A CIRCLE AROUND THEIR BED. AND
RUB THEM ON THEIR EYES.
IT WOULD GIVE THEM THE ABILITY
TO SEE SPIRITS.
WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE WANT
TO DO THAT?
YOU WOULDN'T. UNLESS YOU'RE A
MYSTIC, OR...
TRYING TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM.
LIKE...
YOU HAD TO SEE THEM TO KNOW
WHAT YOU WERE DEALING WITH.
MAYBE IT WAS THAT BLACK EYED
KID.
SHE COULD'VE BEEN SOME SORT OF
A WITCH.
ESTHER'S BEEN SEEING A GHOST
GIRL SINCE WE MOVED IN.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AN
ACTUAL KID.
YEAH, ALL WE KNOW FOR SURE
RIGHT NOW IS THAT SAMANTHA WAS
HERE.
Grace: STILL IS, APPARENTLY.
RIGHT.
HOPEFULLY THE DEVLINS CAN TELL
ME SOMETHING.
YOU SURE YOU DON'T JUST WANT TO
CALL?
DELAWARE'S A LONG WAY.
HARDER TO IGNORE SOMEONE
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
AND...
IF THIS IS ALL CONNECTED
SOMEHOW THEN...
Maya: SOMETHING DID THAT TO
ESTHER LAST NIGHT.
I NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS.
Leah: SOUNDS LIKE YOUR HUSBAND
MADE...
Leah: QUITE AN IMPACT HERE.
HE WAS INFLUENTIAL.
WE WERE A LOT ALIKE. SO...
[ cheerful background music ]
YOU EITHER LOVED HIM OR HATED
HIM.
MOST LOVED.
Naira: YOU SAID BEFORE THAT
JACOB WAS YOUR RABBI'S NEPHEW?
MUST'VE BEEN SIMILAR.
NOT REALLY. EVERYONE LOVED HIM.
AND YOU?
Leah: I LIKED HIM AS A PERSON.
AND A FATHER.
THAT WAS IT.
HE CHEATED ON YOU.
MANY TIMES.
Leah: WASN'T STOPPING EITHER.
HE WANTED TO LIVE THIS DOUBLE
LIFE.
SO THAT WE COULD SAVE FACE IN
THE COMMUNITY.
UNTIL THE GIRLS WERE GROWN.
AND THEN WE COULD OFFICIALLY GO
OUR SEPARATE WAYS.
Leah: I WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM
CALLING HIM TO GO THROUGH WITH
THE DIVORCE.
WHEN THE PHONE RANG. IN MY HAND.
AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE
ACCIDENT.
Leah: AND THAT HE DIDN'T MAKE
IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DRAG HIS NAME
THROUGH THE MUD.
OR HAVE THE GIRLS LOOK AT HIM
ANY DIFFERENTLY.
SO, I JUST KEPT QUIET. ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
BUT I COULDN'T STAY THERE.
I FELT LIKE AS MUCH OF A
HYPOCRITE AS HE WAS. YOU KNOW?
AND... I'M THE FIRST AND ONLY
PERSON YOU'VE TOLD?
YEAH.
THIS KIND OF THING DOESN'T
HAPPEN WHERE WE COME FROM.
I DIDN'T WANT THE NEGATIVE
ATTENTION.
ESPECIALLY NOT FOR THE GIRLS.
HONEY, IF THAT HAD HAPPENED TO
ME-
I WOULD'VE BLASTED HIM ON EVERY
TELEPHONE POLE IN THE COUNTY.
TAKEN OUT ADS IN THE PAPER.
Naira: TWEETED IT WITH A
MILLION HASHTAGS.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WRONG TO
LET THE TRUTH COME OUT.
BUT...
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DIDN'T.
AND IT'S INCREDIBLY SELFLESS.
Naira: AND BRAVE.
THANK YOU, NAIRA.
IT FELT GOOD TO GET IT OFF MY
CHEST.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR.
ANYTHING YOU NEED.
ANYTHING.
Grace: HEY MAYA, WHAT'S UP?
Maya: NOTHING, JUST...
WAITING FOR MRS. DEVLIN TO GET
OFF WORK.
I'M IN THE PARKING LOT RIGHT
NOW.
Grace: UM, HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHERE SHE WORKS?
FACEBOOK. PEOPLE POST
EVERYTHING THERE.
Grace: STALKER.
WHATEVER.
HOW'S ESTHER?
Grace: SHE'S FINE. SHE'S
SLEEPING.
Grace: UM, DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS
MORNING THAT YOU FOUND ASHES-
Grace: IN HER BEDROOM?
>>YEAH.
Grace: I WAS TAKING OUT THE
TRASH AND I SAW ASHES ON THE
GROUND.
Grace: LIKE A TRAIL TOWARDS THE
WOODS.
REALLY?
Grace: YEAH, I WANT TO FIND OUT
WHERE THEY GO.
ALONE? ARE YOU CRAZY?
Grace: I SAW A MACHETE IN YOUR
BASEMENT. I MIGHT TAKE IT WITH
ME.
[ mysterious, tribal music ]
Maya: OKAY, JUST... BE CAREFUL.
KEEP ME POSTED.
>>Grace: I WILL.
[ mysterious tribal music
continues ]
[ machete cutting through brush
]
JAMIE DEVLIN: HI, CAN I HELP
YOU?
HI, ARE YOU JAMIE DEVLIN?
DEPENDS. ON WHO WANTS TO KNOW.
I'M MAYA BLOOMFIELD, I JUST...
Maya: MOVED INTO YOUR OLD PLACE
IN LITTLE MEADOWS.
LITTLE MEADOWS.
WE ONLY LIVED THERE A SHORT
WHILE. MAYBE A YEAR.
IF THE FURNACE WENT, IT WAS
AFTER WE LEFT. I PROMISE.
IT'S FINE, THEY REPLACED IT
BEFORE WE MOVED IN, BUT...
DID YOU KNOW ANYONE NAMED
SAMANTHA WHEN YOU LIVED THERE?
[ ominous music ]
WE FOUND THINGS. LETTERS,
DRAWINGS BETWEEN HER JULIE.
JULIE HAD PROBLEMS.
Jamie: PROBLEMS WE TOOK CARE OF.
THERE WAS NO SAMANTHA.
EXCUSE ME.
[ eerie, mystical music ]
ESTHER?
ESTHER.
ANSWER ME!
ESTHER, HONEY. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Esther: MOMMY, I'M STUCK.
HONEY, WHERE?
Esther: I THINK I STEPPED IN
THORNS. I CAN'T TELL.
Esther: WHEN I TRY TO PULL AWAY
IT HURTS.
CAN YOU SEE THIS?
Esther: YOU'RE FAR.
WHICH WAY, BABY?
Esther: A LITTLE TO THE LEFT.
[ unsettling, dark music ]
Esther: YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER.
I CAN'T SEE YOU YET.
Esther: [ playfully ]
BUT I CAN SEE YOU.
Esther: COME ON, MOMMY.
Esther: ALMOST THERE.
Esther: MOMMY.
Esther: CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?
[ bones cracking ]
[ Leah screams ]
YEAH. SHE'S RIGHT HERE.
EVERYTHING'S GOOD.
OKAY.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM. SEE YOU SOON.
I'M MAKING DINNER TONIGHT. MOM
WANTS YOU TO SET THE TABLE.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
SHE SAID SHE'S TIRED FROM WORK
BUT... I DON'T KNOW.
Maya: SHE DIDN'T SOUND GOOD.
YOU SAID SHE'S BEEN HAVING
NIGHTMARES, RIGHT?
Esther: EVERY NIGHT SINCE WE
MOVED IN.
ANY IDEA WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT?
SHE WON'T TELL ME.
Maya: ME EITHER.
WELL, ALL OF THIS HAS TO BE
CONNECTED SOMEHOW, RIGHT?
ANDREW. SAMANTHA. MRS. DEVLIN
LYING ABOUT HER.
SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN.
MY MOM KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT
SAMAMTHA.
MAYBE THEY THINK JULIE MADE IT
UP.
SHE'S NOT MAKING IT UP.
I KNOW.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT. GO SET THE
TABLE.
FINE.
ESTHER.
IT... IT... IT'S NOTHING.
THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?
I DON'T KNOW, SHE'S BEEN LIKE
THAT ALL DAY.
LOOKING AT STUFF THAT'S NOT
THERE. NOT LOOKING UP.
IT'S KIND OF... SCARY.
[ discordant music ]
[ menacing music ]
NO, NO, NO. PLEASE.
PLEASE LET ME GO. PLEASE LET ME
GO.
I WANT TO GO HOME. I WANT TO GO
HOME, PLEASE!
[ screaming ]
[ gasping for air ]
I WAKE YOU GUYS UP AGAIN?
I'M SORRY.
YOU WANT TO TELL US WHAT YOU'RE
DREAMING ABOUT?
ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WAKE US
EVERY NIGHT.
Esther: I THINK YOU OWE US.
WE NEED TO TELL YOU SOME THINGS.
Maya: SAMANTHA WROTE DOWN
EVERYTHING SHE HEARD FROM THE
DEVLINS.
YOU KNOW MOLECH?
YOU SHALL NOT LET ANY OF YOUR
DESCENDANTS...
PASS THROUGH THE FIRE TO MOLECH.
A PAGAN IDOL, RIGHT?
THEY WOULD OFFER THEIR OWN
CHILDREN TO HIM BY FIRE.
RIGHT.
SOME WORSHIPERS BELIEVED...
IF YOU DIDN'T GIVE YOUR
CHILDREN WILLINGLY ONCE THEY
WERE CHOSEN,
ONE OF MOLECH'S ANGELS, BALAC
OR THERESZA,
WOULD COME AND TAKE THEM
THEMSELVES TO BURN.
THEY'D APPEAL TO TREE GODS FOR
PROTECTION.
MAKE OFFERINGS AT THE BOTTOM OF
TREES. DECORATE THEM. ALL THAT.
THEY'D EVEN KEEP A FIRE GOING
THROUGH THE NIGHT IN FRONT OF
THEIR TENTS.
TO WARD OFF MOLECH'S ANGELS.
SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTMAS.
Maya: IT DOES.
A DARK VERSION.
SAMANTHA SAID THE DEVLINS AND
EVERYONE WHO LIVED IN SELAH
BELIEVED IT.
SAID IT... CAME FROM THE
NATIVES OR SOMETHING.
THE DEMONS WOULD COME BACK THE
NEXT NIGHT AND...
SPRINKLE THE ASHES OF ALL THE
CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE-
OKAY. I'VE HEARD ENOUGH.
I THINK ESTHER HAS, TOO.
Esther: I ALREADY HEARD IT ALL,
I'M GOOD.
WHY, YOU SCARED BRO?
YOU'RE SUCH A TWERP.
[ Esther laughs ]
MAYBE I AM A LITTLE SCARED.
WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS COME TO ME
SOONER?
ABOUT SAMANTHA? OR ABOUT
ANYTHING ELSE?
WOULD YOU HAVE BELIEVED US?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
EVEN IF I WASN'T EXPERIENCING
THINGS FOR MYSELF, I TRUST YOU
GIRLS.
I HOPE YOU TRUST ME, TOO.
WE DO.
GOOD. SO FROM NOW ON, NO MORE
SECRETS.
WE FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT
TOGETHER.
DOES THAT GO FOR YOUR DREAMS,
TOO?
NOT NOW. LET'S ALL JUST SETTLE
DOWN AND TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP.
[ melancholy piano music ]
[ loud knocking ]
CHRIS?
ARE YOU OKAY IN THERE? IS
EVERYONE OKAY?
YEAH, WHAT'S GOING ON?
>>Chris: ARE YOU SURE?
Chris: I WOKE UP AND ANGELA
WASN'T THERE.
I THOUGHT SHE HAD JUST GONE TO
THE BATHROOM,
BUT WHEN I CHECKED SHE WAS
GONE.
AND THEN I CAME OUT AND....
GET BACK INSIDE, I'M CALLING
THE POLICE.
CHRIS, WHAT?
GET BACK INSIDE, MAYA, NOW!
[ steps in something wet ]
[ foreboding music ]
DID YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING
BETWEEN LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING?
ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY?
IT WAS QUIET UNTIL CHRIS CAME
OVER.
Morales: YOU'RE NEW TO TOWN BUT
YOU'VE ALREADY MET THE FAMILY?
YEAH.
WE HANG OUT WITH GRACE ALL THE
TIME.
I MET HER PARENTS A COUPLE
TIMES. THEY SEEMED NICE.
GOT ALONG WELL.
Maya: I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING
WRONG.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN MY NEXT
QUESTION.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?
YEAH. CHRIS CALLED.
SAID ANGELA WASN'T IN BED THIS
MORNING WHEN HE WOKE UP.
Morales: FRONT DOOR WAS OPEN
BUT SHE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
SO UH, HE WENT LOOKING DOWN THE
STREET AND UH,
THAT'S WHEN HE SAW WHAT WAS AT
YOUR DOOR.
AND GRACE?
Morales: FAST ASLEEP UNTIL I
WOKE HER UP TO QUESTION HER.
Maya: IS THAT BLOOD? OUTSIDE?
LOOKS LIKE IT. WE'VE ALREADY
SENT IT TO THE LAB TO BE
EXAMINED.
SEE IF IT BELONGS TO ANGELA OR
ANYONE ELSE IN THE DATABASE.
Morales: FOR THAT MATTER.
DO YOU THINK IT'S A WARNING?
LIKE, A THREAT?
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT
YET, I MEAN, I KNOW IT LOOKS
SCARY.
BUT THESE TWO THINGS COULD BE
COMPLETELY UNRELATED.
Morales: IT'S POSSIBLE THAT
ANGELA LEFT ON HER OWN VOLITION
LAST NIGHT,
AND THIS... THAT LOOKS FRESH.
THE BLOOD WAS ON THE DOORPOSTS
AND THE LINTEL LIKE...
SOMEONE WAS MOCKING THE
PASSOVER.
YEAH, I NOTICED.
IT COULD BE ANTI-SEMITIC.
Morales: OR IT COULD JUST BE
SOME SORT OF PROTECTIVE RITUAL
OR SOMETHING.
I MEAN, WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
[ sighs ]
DOES 'THREE NIGHTS' MEAN
ANYTHING TO YOU?
I TALKED TO YOUR MOTHER AND SHE
SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW
ANYTHING, BUT-
Morales: WE'LL BE IN TOUCH. BUT
I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
WE HAVE TWO DEPUTIES, DETECTIVE
SHAEFER FROM ONE COUNTY OVER,
AND A HANDFUL OF DEPUTIZED
CITIZENS.
THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.
BUT, EITHER THEY OR I ARE GOING
TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PLACE
FOR A WHILE.
OKAY.
Morales: LOOK, BETWEEN YOU AND
I,
Morales: ANGELA'S CELLPHONE
WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. THERE
WAS NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE.
AND NO ONE HEARD ANYTHING LAST
NIGHT.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SHE LEFT ON
HER OWN POWER.
Morales: WHICH COULD MEAN...
ANYTHING.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING
YET.
THANK YOU, SHERIFF.
MA'AM.
THREE NIGHTS.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT
MEANS?
I HOPE NOT.
SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR
DREAMS?
I'VE BEEN SEEING WHAT SAMANTHA
DESCRIBED.
A DEMON CARRYING A CHILD INTO
FIRE.
Leah: LAST NIGHT I SAW IT
CARRYING ESTHER.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST MY
SUBCONSCIOUS MIXING THINGS UP.
WHAT IF IT'S NOT?
I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH SINCE WE'VE
BEEN OUT HERE.
I HAVE THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE.
HARD TO LOOK AWAY WHEN THIS IS
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
[ both laughing ]
DON'T TELL ANYONE I SAID THIS,
BUT MY MOM SAYS YOU ARE VERY
PRETTY.
AND VERY RICH.
I'M A HOUSEHOLD NAME.
>>Esther: M-HM. SURE ARE.
[ melancholy music ]
Esther: SHE LEFT ALL HER
FRIENDS BEHIND WHEN WE MOVED.
BUT I THINK IT'S NICE FOR HER
TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
BESIDES US.
Naira: ME TOO.
HEY.
Maya: JULIE DEVLIN.
JULIE: I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK
TO STRANGERS.
Maya: I JUST MOVED INTO YOUR
OLD HOUSE IN LITTLE MEADOWS.
CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT
SAMANTHA?
SHE'S NOT REAL.
I WAS SICK WHEN I LIVED THERE.
Maya: WE'VE SEEN HER.
SHE'S THE ONE WHO DREW YOU THIS
PICTURE, RIGHT?
Julie: MY PARENTS TOLD ME THAT
SHE WAS AN IMAGINARY FRIEND.
THEY MADE ME PROMISE NOT TO
TALK ABOUT HER WITH ANYONE ELSE.
Julie: THEY SAID PEOPLE WOULD
THINK I WAS CRAZY.
IT ALL FELT SO REAL.
BUT THEY NEVER LIED TO ME
BEFORE.
SO, I BELIEVED THEM.
HOW DID YOU MEET HER?
THEY TOLD ME NOT TO GO INTO THE
BASEMENT.
THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME AN
EXPLANATION. THEY JUST SAID IT
WASN'T SAFE.
Julie: I WENT TO SEE, AND I
NOTICED A PILE OF STUFF IN
FRONT OF THE DOOR.
Julie: IT HADN'T BEEN THERE
BEFORE.
[ eerie music ]
[ door hits wall ]
[ muffled talking ]
SAMANTHA: [ muffled ] IT'S
OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
[ moaning ]
[ emotional music ]
WHO ARE YOU?
[ moans ]
YOU WANT A PENCIL?
M-HM.
PAPER?
M-HM!
Julie: SHE SAID MY PARENTS WERE
KEEPING HER THERE TO PROTECT
HER.
Julie: FROM SOMETHING.
Julie: I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT
SHE CALLED IT BUT THERE WAS A
MONSTER.
Julie: OR A DEMON.
Julie: SHE'D SEEN IT. HEARD IT.
THEY KEPT HER TIED UP IN THE
BASEMENT ALL DAY TO PROTECT HER?
Julie: NO, ONLY AT NIGHT TO
KEEP HER FROM MAKING NOISE.
AT FIRST.
DURING THE DAY THEY WOULD TAKE
THE TAPE OFF SO SHE COULD EAT.
THEY JUST WOULDN'T LET HER NEAR
ANY OF THE WINDOWS UPSTAIRS.
AND WHENEVER I CAME HOME FROM
SCHOOL THEY PUT HER BACK.
Julie: ONCE THEY FIGURED OUT WE
HAD SEEN EACH OTHER,
Julie: I WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO GO
DOWN THERE ONCE IN A WHILE.
Julie: SO WE STARTED PASSING
LETTERS.
UNTIL THEY COULD TRUST HER
ENOUGH NOT TO MAKE NOISE.
AND THAT'S WHEN...
[ somber music ]
YOU'RE LEAVING?
BUT... WHAT ABOUT THE...
THE MONSTER?
SOMETHING TERRIBLE MIGHT'VE
HAPPENED TO ANDREW.
Samantha: I NEED TO GO FIND OUT.
BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO YOU, TOO.
HE RAN AWAY.
Samantha: I HOPE SO.
BUT I'VE HEARD THEM TALKING
SINCE THEY GOT ME.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
THINGS YOU DON'T NEED TO HEAR.
TRUST ME, JULIE.
HOW IS LEAVING GOING TO HELP?
CAN'T I COME WITH YOU?
NO. I NEED TO DO THIS MYSELF.
AND I'M NOT RISKING SOMETHING
HAPPENING TO YOU.
NEVER.
I'LL BE OKAY. YOU GO BACK TO
SLEEP.
IF I DON'T COME BACK, I DON'T
WANT THEM BLAMING YOU.
Samantha: I'LL BREAK THE CANDLE.
Samantha: THEY'LL THINK I USED
A PIECE OF IT TO ESCAPE.
Samantha: AND I WANT YOU TO
BRING THE LETTERS TO ME.
THE ONES YOU SAVED.
IF YOU DON'T COME BACK?
WHY GO OUT THERE IF YOU THINK
YOU MIGHT GET HURT?
I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT.
I WILL COME BACK.
OKAY?
Samantha: COME HERE.
I'LL COME BACK.
Julie: THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I
SAW HER.
Julie: THE NEXT COUPLE OF
NIGHTS, SHE WASN'T THERE.
Julie: I BROKE DOWN AFTER A FEW
DAYS.
Julie: I TOLD MY PARENTS THAT I
HAD BEEN TALKING TO HER.
Julie: THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE
ME THAT IT WAS JUST MY
IMAGINATION.
Julie: THEY TOOK EVERYTHING OUT
OF THE CRAWLSPACE.
I COULDN'T FIND ONE LETTER.
SHE WAS JUST...
GONE.
THEY WERE HIDDEN. IN A CRACK IN
THE WALL.
THE LETTERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO
HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WISH I KNEW.
MAYBE IT GOT HER AFTER ALL.
[ somber music fades ]
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT.
A WEEK LATER.
[ melancholy piano music ]
[ eerie piano music ]
SAMANTHA?
Julie: I THOUGHT THAT WHATEVER
IT WAS THAT TOOK HER CAME BACK.
[ sad piano music ]
JUST TO TELL ME IT HAD WON.
TO TAUNT ME.
Julie: IT MADE IT EASIER TO
BELIEVE THAT I MADE IT ALL UP.
Julie: IF I BELIEVED SAMANTHA
WAS REAL.
Julie: THEN I'D HAVE TO ACCEPT -
THAT THAT THING WAS, TOO.
AND THAT... MAYBE MY BROTHER
DIDN'T JUST RUN AWAY.
Julie: IF YOU FIND HER.
IF SHE IS STILL ALIVE.
WILL YOU TELL ME?
OF COURSE I WILL.
THANK YOU, JULIE.
Naira: MORE THAN LIKELY THEY
WERE PROTECTING SAMANTHA.
FROM MOLECH?
ONE OF HIS SERVANTS. BUT NOT
THE DEMONS.
EVERYTHING YOU AND THE GIRLS
HAVE EXPERIENCED.
THE MONSTER YOU SAW IN THE
WOODS. THE GIRL ESTHER LET INTO
THE HOUSE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A SKINWALKER.
A NATIVE AMERICAN WITCH.
THEY CAN DISGUISE THEMSELVES AS
DIFFERENT ANIMALS, PEOPLE...
LIVING OR DEAD... AS WELL AS
OTHER THINGS.
YOU BECAME ONE BY MURDERING
SOMEONE YOU TRULY LOVED.
MOST THINK IT'S JUST FOLKLORE.
BUT IF YOU LIVED IN A NATIVE
AREA, YOU'D KNOW IT WASN'T.
IN EGYPT, WHEN MOSES CONFRONTED
THEM,
PHARAOH'S SORCERERS WERE ABLE
TO PERFORM MIRACLES.
WATER INTO BLOOD. RODS INTO
SERPENTS.
Naira: THERE ARE DARK POWERS.
THEY MAY NOT MATCH GOD'S BUT
THEY EXIST.
WHAT DOES IT WANT FROM US?
Naira: CONSIDERING EVERYTHING
YOU'VE TOLD ME...
Naira: I THINK IT WANTS YOU TO
SHOW RESPECT TO MOLECH.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IN SELAH
NOW.
KEEP A FIRE BURNING THROUGH THE
NIGHT.
PUT UP LIGHTS TO DETER THE
DARKNESS.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO ANY OF THAT.
I'M NOT SURE THERE'S ANY OTHER
WAY.
YOUR NIGHTMARES HAVE BEEN
SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN-
-IF IT DOESN'T GET WHAT IT
WANTS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO
JULIE DEVLIN'S OLDER BROTHER?
OR SAMANTHA?
I WANT YOU TO THINK LONG AND
HARD ABOUT IT.
MY HUSBAND... ALEX.
STUDIED THE LOCAL RELIGIONS.
HE PARTOOK IN RITUALS, SEANCES,
MEDITATIONS, YOU NAME IT.
HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ANY OF IT
BUT HE FOUND IT ALL FASCINATING.
BUT ONE DAY, HE GOT TOO CLOSE.
DISRESPECTED THE WRONG PERSON.
AND THEY CURSED HIM.
GAVE HIM THREE NIGHTS TO LIVE.
HE DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY,
AND NEITHER DID I.
BUT ON THE FOURTH MORNING, I
WOKE UP.
AND HE WAS...
GONE.
COLD AND RIGID.
DEAD FOR HOURS.
THEY SAID IT WAS A HEART ATTACK.
DESPITE HIM BEING A COMPLETELY
HEALTHY MAN.
I STILL REMEMBER THE LOOK ON
HIS FACE.
IF IT WAS A HEART ATTACK...
SOMETHING SCARED HIM TO DEATH.
[ police radio chatter ]
[ high pitched scream ]
[ deep, demonic grunts ]
[ branch rustling ]
Morales: MRS. FARMER?
[ eerie, electronic music ]
IF YOU'RE THERE, YOU NEED TO
COME OUT RIGHT NOW!
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN!
[ demonic grunt ]
[ Gun Shooting ]
[ Gun Shooting repeated ]
[ Morales breathing heavy ]
[ tense music ]
Angela's Voice: NO NO NO.
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME. NO
PLEASE! PLEASE!
[ Angela crying and screaming ]
Morales' Voice: I'M NOT GOING
TO TELL YOU AGAIN.
[ gun shooting over and over ]
[ gun shooting faster ]
[ skinwalker screams ]
Morales' Voice [ staticy ]: I'M
NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN.
[ crickets fade in ]
[ dissonant electronic music ]
SHERIFF, WE HEARD GUNSHOTS.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
I.. I UH.. I THOUGHT I SAW
SOMEBODY.
I FOLLOWED THEM.
AND?
AND A BUNCH OF DEER CAME UP
BEHIND ME.
Morales: IT STARTLED ME SO I
SHOT A COUPLE TIMES. IT WAS
STUPID.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
LOOK, GET INSIDE. ETHAN OR
SOMEONE WILL BE HERE SOON.
Morales: UM... EVERYTHING'S
OKAY.
SORRY FOR THE SCARE.
[ mysterious, ethereal music ]
[ screeching, branches snapping
]
[ jarring, tense music ]
[ Samantha screams ]
Jamie: IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
Jamie: IT'S THE ONLY WAY!
[ dissonant music ]
[ melancholy music ]
[ crying ]
WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
I'M JUST REALLY TIRED OF THESE
DREAMS.
LAY BACK DOWN.
IT'S OVER NOW, RIGHT?
SO, THINK OF SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
TORAH VERSES, OR...
A HAPPY MEMORY LIKE THE LAST
TIME WE WENT TO THE BEACH.
THAT'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS USED TO
TELL ME WHEN I HAD BAD DREAMS.
YOU REMEMBER?
I DO.
DID IT WORK?
EVERY TIME.
Morales: I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO. I HAVEN'T TOLD SHAEFER OR
ANYONE ELSE.
Naira: WHY NOT?
BECAUSE I'M SCARED.
EITHER I'M GOING CRAZY OR...
WHATEVER THIS IS, IT'S BEYOND
MY ABILITY TO DEAL WITH IT.
I MEAN... I WISH I COULD JUST
FORGET ABOUT IT.
Naira: HONESTLY, LISTENING TO
THAT INSTINCT WOULD BE MY FIRST
RECOMMENDATION.
Naira: I THINK THIS WITCH WANTS
SOMETHING SPECIFIC FROM LEAH.
Naira: IF SHE GIVES IT, THEN
EVERYTHING WILL LIKELY FALL
INTO PLACE.
I CAN'T.
I - I CAN'T. I MEAN...
ANGELA FARMER'S MISSING AND
THIS PERSON MAY HAVE SOMETHING
TO DO WITH IT.
Naira: I UNDERSTAND.
THOSE WOODS. THEY'RE DEEP.
IS THERE A LANDMARK? ANYWHERE
SHE MIGHT'VE GONE?
Naira: THERE IS A SHACK.
Naira: I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF
IT'S STILL STANDING.
Naira: BUT MY HUSBAND TOOK ME
OUT THERE ONCE.
Naira: HE SAID THERE WAS
EVIDENCE OF RITUALS
Naira: HAVING BEEN PERFORMED IN
THE AREA.
Naira: DATING BACK TO NATIVE
DAYS.
Naira: WE MIGHT FIND SOMETHING
THERE.
WE?
Naira: I HAVEN'T BEEN IN FOUR
YEARS. I CAN'T DRAW YOU A MAP.
Naira: I'D HAVE TO SEE IT.
Naira: AND BESIDES THAT
CONSIDERING WHAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH,
Naira: YOUR GUN MIGHT NOT
PROTECT YOU.
Naira: THEY SAY YOU CAN ONLY
KILL THESE THINGS BY EXPOSING
THEIR
Naira: TRUE IDENTITY.
Naira: USUALLY WITH THE HELP OF
A SHAMAN.
SO, YOU'RE A SHAMAN?
Naira: CLOSE ENOUGH.
[ baleful music ]
[ branches snapping ]
Leah: YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO OUT
SHOPPING WITH MAYA?
GET YOUR MIND OFF THINGS?
NO, MY MOM COULD BE BACK AT ANY
MINUTE.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANY, LIKE, GAMES
OR SOMETHING?
WE DO.
WE'LL HAVE FUN.
[ car approaching ]
ETHAN: HI, MRS. BLOOMFIELD?
Leah: HI.
I'M ETHAN. JOSE- UH, SHERIFF
MORALES TOLD YOU I'D BE BY.
YES. UH, HE SAID HE'D SEND
SOMEONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE
HOUSE.
WELL I'M NOT A DEPUTY, BUT I
DID SERVE 30 YEARS IN THE NAVY.
SO, I HELP OUT WHEN HE NEEDS IT.
THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE THAT.
IT'S MY PLEASURE, MA'AM. I
WON'T BE A BOTHER.
I PACKED DINNER. I HAVE SOME
DRINKS.
AND IF I, UH, NEED A BATHROOM.
I'LL JUST HOP OUT INTO THE
WOODS AND FIND A TREE.
Ethan: SO DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT
A THING.
I'LL JUST PULL UP OVER HERE AND
BE OUT OF YOUR WAY.
[ tribal music ]
[ suspenseful music ]
[ low growl ]
[ leaves rustling ]
Morales: DO YOU MIND WAITING
OUT HERE?
Naira: NOW, WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
Morales: IN CASE SOMEONE
DANGEROUS REALLY IS OUT THERE?
WHAT, ANGELA? A DEER?
Naira: I'D BE SURPRISED IF THE
WITCH WERE OUT HERE DURING THE
DAY.
Naira: AND IN THE EVENT THAT
SHE IS WE'RE SAFER TOGETHER.
ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS?
Naira: MY HUSBAND WOULD'VE BEEN
ABLE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING.
I CAN'T.
BUT I DO RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE
SYMBOLS.
Naira: THE BIG DIAMOND SHAPE.
Naira: AND SOME OF THE OUTER
MARKINGS HAVE TO DO WITH
OPENING-
Naira: OR CLOSING A DOOR.
OR A GATE. IT'S TOO CONVOLUTED
TO TELL FOR CERTAIN.
[ gasps ]
>>YOU SEE SOMETHING?
[ Morales screams ]
[ Maya's ears going hollow ]
[ gloomy music ]
[ Morales grunting, Maya gasps ]
WHY? WHY DID YOU...
Naira: YOU LEFT ME NO CHOICE.
NOT REALLY.
[ Morales groaning ]
I TOLD YOU TO LET THINGS BE.
LEAH IS PROBABLY GOING TO MAKE
THE SACRIFICE, WHEN SHE DOES
Naira: HER DAUGHTER WILL BE SPARED.
[Morales choking ]
Naira: IF YOU HADN'T INSISTED
ON COMING OUT HERE,
Naira: ALL WOULD'VE BEEN WELL
WITH YOU.
BUT, YOUR DEATH ISN'T GOING TO
BE WITHOUT PURPOSE.
I NEEDED THE BLOOD OF ONE MORE
TO COMPLETE THE RITUAL.
I WOULD'VE HAD TO LURE OR DRAG
SOMEONE OUT HERE.
YOU MADE IT EASY.
YOU'RE... YOU'RE THE WITCH.
YOU KILLED ANGELA.
NECESSARY SACRIFICE. NOTHING I
TAKE PLEASURE IN.
BUT IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER.
YOUR LIFE SAVED SOMEONE ELSE'S.
[ Morales gasping ]
[ high-pitched, distorted sound
]
[ high-pitched, distorted sound
fades out ]
NOTHING, STILL?
I WAS HOPING YOU'D HEARD FROM
HER.
NO, AND I'VE CALLED HER EVERY
FIVE MINUTES. LITERALLY.
Leah: I CAN'T GET A HOLD OF THE
SHERIFF.
Leah: ETHAN SAID HE HASN'T EVEN
RESPONDED
OVER THE RADIO SINCE THIS
AFTERNOON.
DETECTIVE SHAEFER'S OUT LOOKING.
WELL, THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND
OF REASONABLE EXPLANATION.
I MEAN, WE SHOULDN'T JUMP TO
CRAZY CONCLUSIONS, YET.
I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE.
I CAN'T SIT AT HOME KNOWING
THAT MAYA'S IN TROUBLE.
WELL, WE DON'T KNOW THAT, YET.
ESTHER'S IN GOOD HANDS WITH YOU
HERE.
Leah: I'M GOING TO CHECK IN
WITH ETHAN AND LOOK AROUND THE
WOODS.
Leah: I WON'T GO FAR.
KEEP THIS LOCKED UNLESS YOU
HEAR MY VOICE.
WELL, HOW DO I KNOW IT'S YOU?
NOTHING'S GETTING PAST ME.

SABRINA SHAEFER: I'M EN ROUTE
WITH A DEPUTY.
Sabrina: JUST STAY IN THE
WAREHOUSE IT'LL PROVIDE YOU
WITH SOME COVER.
Sabrina: IT'S DARK BUT WE'LL
GET TO YOU WITHIN HALF AN HOUR.
Sabrina: MAYBE SOONER, OKAY?
Maya: YOU NEED TO GET SOMEONE
TO MY HOUSE.
Maya: I DON'T KNOW WHERE NAIRA
WENT BUT SHE WAS HEADED THAT
WAY.
Maya: I THINK SHE TOOK MY
MACHETE.
Sabrina: ETHAN'S THERE. AND
I'LL TRY TO RADIO TO SEE IF
ANYONE
Sabrina: ELSE CAN GO. OKAY?
Maya: HE'S NOT RESPONDING ON
THE RADIO, IS HE?
Maya: WHAT IF SHE'S ALREADY
THERE?
Sabrina: I NEED YOU TO STAY
CALM, MAYA.
Sabrina: I'M DOING EVERYTHING I
CAN. STAY ON THE LINE.
Sabrina: I'M REACHING OUT TO
OTHER UNITS, BUT I'LL BE HERE.
Sabrina: CALLING ALL UNITS.
THIS IS DETECTIVE SABRINA
SHAEFER.
Sabrina: WE HAVE A SITUATION.
OFFICER DOWN. IT WAS SHERIFF
MORALES.
Sabrina: SUSPECT FLED ON FOOT
AND IS TO BE CONSIDERED ARMED
AND DANGEROUS.
[ police radio chatter ]
[ tender music ]
Leah: WHAT HAPPENED?
UH- WE SAW SOMETHING AND THIS
LADY CAME IN.
IT WAS NAIRA. SHE DID SOMETHING
TO MY EYES...
AND THEN SHE SCARED IT AWAY.
Leah: OKAY, OKAY.
I'M GOING TO GO CHECK ON HER.
I'LL BE BACK.
Grace: OKAY.
Esther: OKAY.
LOCK THAT DOOR.
WE WILL, WE WILL.
>>BE CAREFUL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I CAME TO HELP ESTHER.
I JUST STOPPED HERE FOR...
WATER.
[ coughing ]
NAIRA.
Leah: WAS IT YOU?
ALL OF THIS?
I WAS... INVOLVED.
[ coughing ]
I'M THE WITCH. IN THE FLESH.
YOU HURT MAYA?
SHE HANDLED HERSELF JUST FINE.
I ONLY ATTACKED HER BECAUSE SHE
WENT WHERE SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE.
AND ESTHER?
Naira: MOLECH CHOSE HER.
I WAS ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS.
TRYING TO MAKE YOU ALL BELIEVE.
TRYING TO MAKE YOU AFRAID.
WHY?
SO THAT YOU'D DO WHAT HE SAID.
TO SAVE HER.
AND TO PLAY INTO HIS HANDS LIKE
EVERYONE IN SELAH.
Naira: THE TRADITIONS DON'T
ALWAYS WORK.
IT'S...
AN ACT OF WORSHIP, WHICH IS HIS
MAIN GOAL.
BUT... HE WANTS THE CHILDREN,
TOO.
AND YOU PRETENDED TO BE MY
FRIEND.
TO HELP.
[ emotional music ]
THERE WAS NO PRETENDING, LEAH.
I ADMIRE YOU.
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.
[ Naira coughing hard ]
[ Naira gasping for air ]
[ suspenseful music ]
[ heavy breathing ]
LISTEN TO ME.
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO KEEP
ESTHER SAFE FOR SURE.
ONCE MOLECH HAS CHOSEN HE WON'T
GIVE UP.
BUT HE WILL ACCEPT...
AN OFFERING.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THE COPS ARE GOING TO BE BUSY
AT THE WAREHOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS.
[ emotional music ]
THE GARAGE AT MY PLACE.
GO THERE.
SEE.
ACCEPT IT. AND LEAVE.
NOTHING ELSE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND
ME?
SEE WHAT?
I CAN'T TELL YOU. JUST...
DO AS I SAY FOR ESTHER'S SAKE.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP HER
SAFE.
PLEASE?
[ breathing heavier ]
SOMEONE'S GOT TO BE ON THE WAY.
IF YOU HANG IN THERE, THEY CAN
HELP YOU.
NO.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK I WOULD
MAKE IT HERE.
BUT I HAD TO TRY.
FOR YOU.
[ phone vibrates ]
MY DAD'S PICKING ME UP IN FIVE.
GOING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
LAST TIME I WENT TO THE GROCERY
STORE,
I SAW A GUY STARING AT A CARTON
OF ORANGE JUICE.
I ASKED HIM WHY, AND HE SAID,
'I'M JUST CONCENTRATING'.
WHAT DO YOU CALL A LAUGHING
MOTORCYCLE?
A YAMAHAHA.
[ Esther and Grace giggling ]
Esther: GRACE, WHY DID THE
CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
WHY?
TO GET TO THE IDIOT'S HOUSE.
KNOCK KNOCK.
THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY...
WHO'S?
REALLY?
[ all laughing ]
I GOT ANOTHER ONE.
SO MY FRIEND, HE GOT IN AN
ACCIDENT.
AND HE DIED BECAUSE NO ONE
COULD FIGURE OUT HIS BLOOD TYPE.
HE KEPT SAYING B POSITIVE. BUT
IT'S HARD TO WITHOUT HIM.
[ Maya and Grace laugh ]
HEY WORM.
WHY COULDN'T THE TOILET PAPER
CROSS THE ROAD?
WHY?
HE GOT STUCK IN A CRACK.
[ Esther and Grace laughing ]
[ dramatic music ]
Sabrina: WE'RE FINISHED.
YOU CAN GO BACK IN WHEN YOU'D
LIKE.
IT'S CLEAN. WE LEFT NO TRACE OF
WHAT HAPPENED.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR GRACE'S
DAD TO GET BACK AND THEN WE'LL
HEAD OVER.
Sabrina: OKAY.
Sabrina: IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
JUST LET US KNOW.
WITH THE SHERIFF GONE THINGS
ARE GOING TO BE MOVING A LITTLE
SLOWER
THAN NORMAL AROUND HERE.
IT'LL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO
GET THE RIGHT PERSONNEL
Sabrina: -OUT TO THAT
WAREHOUSE. NOT TO MENTION HER
RESIDENCE, BUT...
WE'LL BE ON TOP OF IT.
AND WE'LL KEEP YOU GUYS SAFE.
ALL OF YOU.
THANK YOU, DETECTIVE.
TAKE CARE, MS. BLOOMFIELD.
[ dramatic music fades out ]
[ mellow guitar music ]
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL WORM?
THAT I'M TAKING CARE OF
SOMETHING FOR NAIRA.
WHICH IS TRUE.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
GETTING YOURSELF INTO.
IF I SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS...
IF I EVEN FEEL SOMETHING'S OFF
I WILL TURN AROUND.
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
WHICH IS WHY I HAVE TO GO.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT ISN'T OVER
ALREADY?
IT ISN'T.
I HAD THAT SAME NIGHTMARE LAST
NIGHT.
Leah: I DON'T KNOW HOW, I
JUST...
I KNOW SHE'S STILL IN DANGER.
THEN...
MOM.
Maya: LET'S TRUST IN GOD.
WE DON'T JUST HAVE FAITH UNTIL
THINGS GET CRAZY, RIGHT?
THAT'S NOT TRUE FAITH.
Maya: WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY
HOME?
WE CAN PRAY THROUGH THE NIGHT.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS
COMING FROM ME.
BUT...
IF I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING IN ALL
OF THIS.
IT'S TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.
I CAN'T ARGUE WITH YOU.
BUT I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING I
POSSIBLY CAN FOR ESTHER'S SAKE
RIGHT NOW.
NAIRA'S WASN'T ALL BAD.
I DON'T THINK SHE SPENT HER
DYING BREATH LURING ME INTO
SOME TRAP.
Leah: I HAVE TO EXHAUST EVERY
SINGLE AVENUE THAT I HAVE,
BECAUSE IF I DON'T DO THAT AND
THEN SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS
TONIGHT...
I JUST... I WON'T BE ABLE TO
LIVE WITH MYSELF.
Julie: NAIRA SAID YOU'D COME.
THAT YOU HAD TO. FOR IT TO WORK.
Leah: YOU'RE JULIE DEVLIN?
ARE YOU HERE ALL ALONE?
SHE CALLED ME.
SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS A WAY I
COULD HELP SAMANTHA ESCAPE.
ESCAPE?
Julie: SHE SAID THAT... SHE WAS
TRAPPED SOMEWHERE.
LIKE...
IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.
THAT'S WHERE THE MONSTERS TOOK
HER.
DID YOU COME HERE ALL BY
YOURSELF?
PART OF THE WAY.
SHE TOLD ME HOW, AND THEN SHE
PICKED ME UP YESTERDAY MORNING.
I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE, SINCE.
WERE YOU OKAY?
Leah: DID YOU HAVE FOOD?
YEAH, SHE HAD STUFF HERE.
I WAS OKAY.
Julie: IT WAS A LITTLE CREEPY
AT NIGHT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.
YOU LIVE IN MY HOUSE, NOW.
YOU'VE SEEN SAMANTHA?
MY GIRLS HAVE.
SO, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
SHE ONLY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO
COME... AND LEAVE.
THAT'S ALL SHE SAID TO ME.
BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M
DOING.
AT MIDNIGHT, I HAVE TO FILL THE
BARREL. POUR SOME OF THAT IN.
LIGHT THE CANDLES.
Julie: GET IN THE WATER WITH
THE BIG CANDLE.
Julie: AND CALL OUT FOR
SAMANTHA.
Julie: AND THEN PUT THE CANDLE
OUT IN THE WATER.
AND... THEN SHE'LL APPEAR.
AND I GUESS I'LL BE ABLE TO
HELP HER.
I KNOW IT ALL SOUNDS CRAZY.
I ONLY KNEW HER FOR A COUPLE OF
WEEKS, BUT...
I FELT BAD I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
MORE FOR HER WHEN I HAD THE
CHANCE.
Julie: AND THEN MY PARENTS LIED
TO ME.
ALL THIS TIME, THEY MADE ME
THINK I MADE IT UP.
THEY PUT ME ON MEDICATION.
Leah: MADE ME SEE DOCTORS.
[ melancholy music ]
BUT IT WAS...
IT WAS ALL REAL.
THIS WHOLE TIME.
Leah: I'M SO SORRY, JULIE.
COME HERE.
Julie: YOU BETTER LEAVE.
SHE SAID YOU HAD TO GO.
YEAH.
I DON'T FEEL RIGHT JUST LEAVING
YOU HERE.
IT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
Leah: I KNOW.
Leah: I'M GOING TO COME BACK.
IN THE MORNING.
MAYBE LATER TONIGHT.
I'M GOING TO GET YOU HOME.
OKAY?
OKAY.
I'LL BE FINE TILL THEN.
Julie: DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
THANK YOU.
LEAH.
[ melancholy music fades out ]
[ suspenseful music builds ]
[ loud impact ]
MAYA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Esther: RELAX, BRO.
YOU DIDN'T FEEL THAT?
YEAH, YOU WOKE ME UP.
THE WHOLE HOUSE SHOOK, WORM.
THAT WASN'T ME.
WHATEVER.
[ footsteps on roof ]
[ suspenseful music builds ]
ESTHER.
WE NEED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS NOW.
WORM! COME ON.
WHAT? I'M TIRED.
Maya: IT ISN'T SAFE UP HERE.
[ thunder rumbling ]
Esther: IS IT AN EARTHQUAKE?
SOUNDS LIKE IT.
THE BASEMENT IS THE SAFEST
PLACE TO GO DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE, RIGHT?
IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS?
YEAH, COME ON.
[ melancholy piano music ]
Naira: SEE, ACCEPT IT, AND
LEAVE.
Naira: NOTHING ELSE? DO YOU
UNDERSTAND ME!
Naira: DO AS I SAY FOR ESTHER'S
SAKE. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP
HER SAFE.
Naira: PLEASE?
NO.
NO.
PLEASE.
KEEP ESTHER SAFE.
[ dramatic music ]
CAN I GO TO SLEEP NOW? OR
SHOULD I STAY AWAKE?
Esther: ARE YOU SCARED?
NO, I'M - I'M FINE.
Maya: GO TO SLEEP. I'LL KEEP
WATCH.
OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT MOM?
Maya: SHE'LL BE FINE. THE
EARTHQUAKE ISN'T THAT BAD
ANYWAY. I DON'T...
THINK IT'LL REACH HER WHERE SHE
IS.
GOOD.
WE'LL BE OKAY HERE, JUST...
BE QUIET, OKAY? WE DON'T WANT
THE VIBRATIONS TO... YOU KNOW...
[ dramatic, eerie music ]
[ ceiling creaking ]
[ glass shatters ]
[ footsteps, floor creaking ]
[ low hissing, demonic voices ]
[ menacing, eerie music ]
[ demonic growl ]
HE WHO DWELLS IN THE SECRET
PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH.
SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF
THE ALMIGHTY.
I SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY
REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS.
MY GOD, IN WHOM I WILL TRUST.
[ demon snarls ]
OH GOD, PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T LET IT TAKE ESTHER.
YOU SHALL NOT BE AFRAID OF THE
TERROR BY NIGHT.
NOR OF THE PESTILENCE THAT
WALKS IN THE DARKNESS.
A THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR
SIDE, AND TEN THOUSAND AT YOUR
RIGHT HAND.
BUT IT WILL NOT COME NEAR YOU.
[ demon moans ]
[ dramatic music ]
LEAH, YOU HAD TO LEAVE. YOU
CAN'T BE HERE, YET!
JULIE, GET AWAY FROM THE BARREL!
[ both grunting ]
Julie: YOU'RE KILLING SAMANTHA!
Julie: YOU'RE KILLING SAMANTHA!
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
LEAH.
I HAVE TO HELP HER.
[ flames crackling ]
[ sad, piano music ]
IT WAS A TRICK.
I'M SORRY.
SAMANTHA'S GONE.
Leah: BUT BELIEVE ME, SHE'S IN
A BETTER PLACE.
SHE KNOWS YOU DID EVERYTHING
YOU COULD.
NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
ONLY WITH YOUR EYES SHALL YOU
LOOK AND SEE THE REWARD OF THE
WICKED.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE THE LORD-
Chris: GIRLS!
Grace: MAYA, WHERE ARE YOU?
MAYA, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?
WE'RE FINE NOW. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT WAS.
IT WAS AN EARTHQUAKE, DUMMY.
LISTEN, I'M GOING TO GO CALL
FOR HELP AND SEE IF I HAVE
ANYTHING TO
PATCH UP THAT WINDOW WITH, OKAY?
OH, THANK GOD!
Grace: YOU'RE OKAY. YOU'RE BOTH
OKAY.
Grace: THANK GOD.
[ typing on keyboard ]
[ knock at door ]
JIN: HEY.
HEY.
HAVE ANYTHING, YET?
NOT REALLY.
NOTHING CONCRETE ENOUGH TO
JUSTIFY THE HOURS I'M PUTTING
INTO IT.
ACCORDING TO THE BOSS.
ON THE NEWS THEY'RE SPECULATING
THAT JULIE MIGHT'VE HAVE
MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES.
RIGHT, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN ALL
OF THIS. EVEN THE DISTINCT
HANDWRITING.
I CAN'T FIND ANY MISSING
CHILDREN IN THE DATABASE WITH
HER DESCRIPTION.
I COULDN'T EITHER.
I WAS LOOKING MOSTLY AROUND
OREGON SINCE SHE MENTIONED A
RESERVOIR,
AND WANTING TO RIDE ALL 33
MILES ON A BIKEWAY.
YEAH, I CHECKED THERE, TOO.
Jin: NO MISSING CHILDREN THAT
COULD'VE BEEN HER.
NO.
Jin: BUT.
I KEPT ON DIGGING. AND I
EXPANDED MY SEARCH A LITTLE BIT,
Jin: AND I FOUND THIS.
Jin: LAST YEAR. DECEMBER 22ND.
PINE HOLLOW, OREGON LOCAL.
MISSING LOCAL GIRL PRESUMABLY
DROWNED.
BLAH BLAH BLAH.
A BRIEF SEARCH TURNED UP
EVIDENCE THAT THE GIRL MAY HAVE
DROWNED IN THE DESCHUTES RIVER.
Jin: CREWS FROM THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE FOUND A SNEAKER ON THE
SHORE,
JUST OFF THE BIKEWAY AND LATER
DISCOVERED A DAMAGED BICYCLE
THAT HAD CAUGHT ON THE ROCKS 20
FEET INTO THE WATER.
Sabrina: ATTEMPTS TO RECOVER A
BODY HAVE PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL.
BUT PINE HOLLOW RESIDENT DONALD
MYERS, 44,
IDENTIFIED THE SHOE AND BIKE AS
BELONGING TO HIS 11 YEAR OLD
DAUGHTER, SAMANTHA.
SHE WAS DECLARED DEAD A FEW
MONTHS LATER WHEN THEY COULDN'T
FIND ANYTHING ELSE.
[ melancholy piano music ]
I - I COULDN'T GIVE IT UP FOR
HER SAKE, BUT...
HONESTLY I WAS HOPING WE
WOULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY
SENSE.
FEAR CAN MAKE PEOPLE DO CRAZY
THINGS.
THEY'D ALREADY LOST THEIR SON.
Jin: IF THEY THOUGHT THEIR DAUGHTER WAS IN DANGER-p>>THEIR SON WENT MISSING
IN THE WOODS.
JUST LIKE A LOT OF KIDS IN
SELAH.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY
BELIEVE.
[ gentle, emotional music ]
I ASKED THE POLICE IF I COULD
HAVE EVERYTHING BACK.
EVERYTHING I FOUND.
THEY SAID THERE WAS NO FAMILY
AROUND TO CLAIM IT, SO...
THEY CAME YESTERDAY AND DROPPED
IT OFF.
YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL BACK IF YOU
WANT.
NO. IT'S OKAY.
FINDERS KEEPERS.
I DON'T DESERVE IT. YOU
ACTUALLY KNEW HER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAW.
WELL...
WHATEVER IT WAS, IT MADE YOU
CARE ABOUT HER.
WHETHER IT MEANT TO OR NOT.
I CAN ALWAYS COME HERE. IT'S A
LITTLE FAR FROM YOU.
CLOSER THAN OREGON.
YOU HAVE THE LETTERS? THE
PICTURES WE DREW?
I'LL JUST TAKE THE PICTURES. IF
THAT'S OKAY?
I THINK IT'LL HELP ME TO STAY
GROUNDED.
ESPECIALLY SINCE EVERYTHING IS
SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE YOURS. AND IF YOU NEED
ANYBODY TO TALK TO...
ABOUT ANYTHING. I'M HERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU MY MOM-MOMS
ADDRESS. WE CAN WRITE EACH
OTHER.
THAT'D BE COOL.
