The Devout (2015) - full transcript

Can I ask you
a few questions, Penelope?

- Yes?
- Yeah.

Excellent.

A nurse?

Saving her from what?

This is not your house?

So where is your house?

Where did you live?

How did you die?

Penelope, if you
can remember something,

I'd like to hear it.



Okay, okay.

That's enough.
Your name was never Thomas.

You know that.
All right.

We're done here.
Thanks.

We're done. We're not doing
this anymore, okay?

Relax.
Keep your eyes open.

Now, try and remember.

What do you want
for dinner?

I get to pick?

Yes, you do.

Anything.

Hmm.

Let's see.
Come here.

Daddy and I



love you so, so much.

You know that, right?

You keep saying that.

What's your special wish
for today?

Can I stay up late?

Okay.

How late?

As late as you want.

- 10:00?
- Yup.

Yeah!

Go.

I'm tired.

Yeah. You wanna go
take a lie-down?

Come up here.

Whoa.

Now I lay me down
to sleep.

I pray the Lord
my soul to keep.

Guide me through the
starry night.

And keep me safe
till morning's light.

God will always take
care of you.

Are you cold?

No, the red one.

Red one?

Okay.

Here you go.

Go see Dad,
just not too fast.

Oh. Isn't that beautiful?

All right, everyone,
now, hear His love.

Come on.

Any of you guys ever
seen a jellyfish?

What if I told you

that there was this
variety of jellyfish

which doesn't age
like you and me do.

In fact...

In fact what?

This jellyfish will
never die.

At least not due
to old age.

And when it gets old or sick,

it reverses its life cycle,

essentially becoming
a baby again.

Scientists nicknamed it
the "Immortal Jellyfish."

God does some
strange things.

Is that your
rocket, sweetie?

Yeah?

You just keep looking at it.

Look at the lines,

and just draw
what you see.

Okay, look at me.

Okay.

You call your folks?

No. I'm not gonna tell them.

Tell them what?

Nothing, sweetie.

What's your special wish
for today?

Do you have any ideas?

You have any fun ideas?

I'm gonna draw Sally.

For her headaches...

These little ones
every four hours.

The big ones are
for her tummy.

Little for pain.

Big for nausea.
Okay?

Okay?

Mom, this is a child's dose?

I may be retired, but I think
I still know my stuff.

And you don't need to
write anything down.

I will come by every day
after dinner

and see how things
are going.

And you call me if
anything comes up, okay?

Can I see her
before I go?

Please?

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How come
you're still awake?

I'm going to the moon.

Oh, yeah?

It's my first time ever.

Oh, really?

Wow.

Uh-oh.

What's up?

I pooped my MAG.

You don't wear
diapers anymore.

My MAG.

You sure?

'Cause I don't
smell anything.

My MAG.

Your MAG?

What is a MAG?

My Maximum
Absorbency Garment.

What did you say?

My Maximum
Absorbency Garment.

Hey, honey.

Okay, let's go to bed.

You, too.

Me and Sandy
started playing dress-up.

She was Alice,
I was Mad Hatter.

I don't
imagine that...

That's something
Jan I would do.

I wanted to be
the Cheshire Cat, but...

She didn't want me to.

I think my smile kinda
creeped her out, you know.

Thanks, Mitch.

I got more.

If you need 'em.

I know you do.

Darryl, God knows,
I've always looked up to you.

You're a good man.

You got a great wife.

You guys are gonna
get through this.

You wanna go for a jump?

No, you go ahead.

Breakfast.

You didn't hear me?

No, I guess not.

I'm just going to finish up my
lesson plan for the sub here.

I'll be right out.

Okay.

- You're not
hungry, sweetie?
- No.

Do you want something
else to eat?

Abby?

You just wanna play,
don't you?

Yeah.

How about you show Daddy

what it's like
to lift off. Okay?

Five, four, three,
two, one.

Okay, now, show Daddy
what it's like

to land on the moon.

I don't know.

You don't know?

No.

Sure you do.

Hey...

Do you want some waffles?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Okay.

Come on.

Show me how to
land on the moon.

I never did.

You never did?

No.

Well, how come?

The fire.

Hon, we're out of eggs.
Can you run by Mitchell's?

The fire?

We never had
a fire, sweetie.

The fire when we
go to the moon.

Who's going to the moon?

Apollo's going to the moon.

Darryl?

Yeah, anything else?

Uh, coffee filters.

Sally, catch.

Wow!

Be a dog, Mom.

Yay!

Sorry, bud.

Come here.

Attack...

Of the Tickle Monster.

I wish we were
dogs in real life.

How come?

The dogs are never sad.

Well, dogs get
sad sometimes,

just like people.

Are you sad, sweetheart?

No, you are.

How are you, Heather?

I'm doing okay.

I...

I heard about Abigail.

Hi, Darryl.

Hey, Gerry.

Excuse me.

On us.

That's okay.
Thanks, Gerry, but...

Come 'round back
with me.

I got some goodies
for your girl.

- Thanks, Heather.
- No problem.

Thanks, babe.

What is that?

Gerry just gave 'em to me.

Hey, where's Abs?

Abs, come see what I got.

Shh. She's resting.

I thought her and I could go
set them off at Mesachie later.

What do you say?

I mean...

You could come, too,
I guess...

Oh, can I? Oh.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

And you can pretend you're
having a good time.

It's okay.

Mom said she needs to
be in bed by 7:00,

actually, so...

Maybe tomorrow,
during the day.

Fireworks kind of have
to be at night.

She should sleep.

Why?

What's that?

Come see.

Fireworks.

- Yay!
- Yeah!

Take a look.

Pilot to control, testing.

One, two, three, testing.

Pilot to control.

They can't hear you, Eddie.

We can't talk
across the Cape

and we're supposed to
go to the moon?

Good God.

Control, we got fire.

Can you reach that?

We got a bad fire.

Eddie!

We got a fire.
We got a fire.

We're burning up in here.
Get out! Get out!

We got a fire!
Get out! I'm burning...

Back soon, sweetie.

Hey...

You excited?

Are you sleepy?

Okay.

Remember, we're not gonna
tell Mommy about this.

'Cause she would say,
"You're supposed to be in bed."

I don't want her to
be upset with us. All right?

So this can just be
our little treat.

Okay?

Okay?

Good.

All right.

All systems check.

Liftoff in T minus 10 seconds.

You count us down,
Captain Abs.

I'm Commander Jones.

Commander Jones?

Okay.

Then can you count us down,
Commander Jones?

Ten, nine, nine, eight,

seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one!

Oh!

Feel like some
yummy waffles?

No.

You got to
eat a little, okay?

- Abby.
- All right.

"Commander Jones."

You're not hungry?

Good. Strawberries,
waffles and whipped cream.

You want a special
rocket delivery?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Okay.

Here we go.

Special rocket delivery
for Commander Jones.

Who's Commander Jones?

New nickname.

So how were the fireworks?

Awesome.

I smelled it on her.

I was gonna tell you, but...

You looked so cozy
sleeping there last night.

She really should sleep.

She loved it.

You should've seen
her face.

Well, now she's got a cold.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

There you go, baby.

Hi, Jan.

Thank you.

Can Abby play?

I'm sorry. She's...
Resting right now.

- Okay.
- Okay.

God bless.

Thank you.

- Darryl?
- Yeah.

She's... Taking a nap.

Can we talk?

Sure.

I know it's just fireworks.

But we have to talk.

Now.

More than ever, right?

Right.

I know it's
just fireworks...

I wanna feel
something different.

Was I really that bad?

Hon...

I wanna tell you something.

Okay.

I think Abby had a past life.

What?

And she was an astronaut...

In a past life.

She told me.

She told you?

Sort of.

When we were out shooting
off fireworks the other night,

she told me her old name.

Are you serious?

I've never seen her
so sure of something.

She told you her...

Old name?

Yeah.

And she told me she
was on Apollo 1,

and there was a fire.

And I checked it out,
and there really was a fire.

How would she know
something like that?

Abby said that?

Exactly like that?

Not exactly like that, no.

Honey, it's in her
brain now.

Okay?

Dr. Hart said she would
act differently.

Apollo 1 was the first
mission to the moon.

It caught fire on launch,
killed everybody onboard.

One of the astronauts was
named Edward R. Jones.

Why would she say
her name is Commander Jones?

"Jones"?

Jones is her
preschool teacher.

Last week, she told me
that she was a butterfly.

Little kids say stuff.

Not stuff like this.

So you believe this?

That our daughter
is an astronaut?

Why?

Why now?

With everything
that's going on...

"Why now?"
Don't you see?

If this is true,

then it means Abby won't
actually be dead.

If she lived before,

then it means that
she will live again.

Oh, no.
Everything's fine.

Um...

Just wondering if you could
come over and look after her

for a bit?

Thanks.

- Jan.
- Hi.

- Darryl.
- Hi, John.

Thank you for seeing us
on such short notice, Pastor.

Oh, anytime, anytime.

Darryl, uh...

...needs to speak to you.

Right this way.

"Because Jonah the whale

"was different, he often
felt left out.

"Like that day,
when he was playing..."

Am I gonna die?

Everyone gets to die,
sweetheart.

Am I gonna die soon?

Do you know where you go
when you die?

Where's that?

Houston.

You mean Heaven.

One day, we'll all
get to go to Heaven.

See Grandpa John,
be together again. Mmm?

Sweet little angel face.

Boop.

Boop, boop.

Boop, boop.

It's not uncommon to feel
lost at a time like yours.

Remember.
Trust in the Lord

with all thine heart,

and lean not into
thine own understanding.

Darryl?

When a time like this
arrives in life,

a time of great uncertainty...

You must realize that

God has you in His hand

to overcome your
fears and doubts...

Apollo's going
to the moon.

We can't talk
across the Cape

and we're supposed
to go the moon?

The fire when we
go to the moon.

We got a bad fire.

...so that you can
see the truth.

Does that
make sense, Darryl?

Thank you.

I'll go warm up the car.

We've gotta do what's
right for Abby now.

Right?

Right.

Sorry to call so late.

I'm looking for
a Dr. Fisher.

If you could...

Never mind, I'm sorry.

Hey.

I'm gonna go check on her.

What's so funny?

Look at all these pies.

Maybe pie will
fix everything.

- Yes, hello.
- Hi. Hi.

I was hoping to speak
to Dr. Fisher, but I was...

Dr. Fisher is no longer here.

I know. I know.

But I really need to
speak to him.

Well...

I'll let you know
if he calls.

Wait.

My daughter's been saying
very strange things.

Okay.

Next month's open, if you'd
like to make an appointment.

I don't have next month.

She's very sick.

How sick?

Terminal sick.

I'm... I'm so sorry to
hear about your daughter.

Why don't you give
me your number,

and I'll pass it along.

Thank you.

- Morning.
- Morning.

This looks great.

- You're up early.
- I had a bit of a bad dream.

I'll see if she's up.

I'm not hungry.

Are you...

Hungry for a waffle plane?

Have some juice then.

Get the telephone.

Hello?

This is Dr. David Fisher.

Yeah. Hi. Thank you
for calling me back.

Yeah. How can I
help you?

Who is it?

Now is not...
It's not the best time.

You don't really have much
time, do you?

Right. Uh...

It's my daughter...

I don't feel good.

You don't feel good,
sweetheart?

No.

Okay.

Where don't you feel good?

Your head or your tummy?

- Tummy.
- Your tummy?

Is it all ouchy,
or is it yucky?

- Ouchy.
- Ouchy.

Darryl?

We're gonna go
lay down.

Okay. Come here.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm here.

You'll need a pen.

And then me.

I like this
little scarf guy.

I gotta go out.

Huh, what?
Where are you going?

Gonna go see Mitch.

How come?

See you soon.

- Darryl...
- I'll be right back.

- Bye, sweetie.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

You gonna boop Daddy?

Bye.

Bye.

- Hey, Sandy, is Mitch there?
- Yeah, sure.

- Darryl, is everything okay?
- Yeah.

Hey, can I borrow
your truck?

- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.

You want some kiwi lemonade
or something?

No. Uh...

Can I borrow the truck?

What's wrong with the Cutlass?

Jan might need it.

Okay, where are you going?

I gotta go out
of town.

Where out of town?

Out of town,
out of town.

You're acting really weird
right now, Darryl.

- What's going on?
- Nothing.

All right, I'm sorry,
can I borrow your truck?

I'll have it back in
five or six hours max.

Darryl, you can borrow
my truck,

but you gotta tell me
where you're going first.

Okay.

Okay, well, she probably just
saw it on TV or something.

No, we supervise her.

Well, then anywhere.
From... From Jan?

No.

- What about you?
- No.

Okay, or in a book?

She's four.

She said there was
a fire.

There was.

She told me her old name.

And she said she
pooped her MAG.

Mitch, she pooped
her MAG.

Yeah, she could have
heard that anywhere.

Where, at Sunday school?

There's a doctor in Vancouver
who specializes

in things like this.

Things like...
What kind of things?

Are you
actually thinking about...

I'm going to see him.

Go to see him?

Darryl, you need to just go
see your little girl.

That's why I'm doing this.

What do you mean?

This guy, Fisher,

he says he has proof.

Proof... Proof that I
can see her again.

Oh, man.

Man.

What if he does, Mitch?

What if he has proof?

Do you hear yourself
right now?

He says...

Abby knows where
she'll be reborn.

Yeah. In Heaven.

Darryl, that's where you're
gonna see her again.

Well, I can't wait that long.

Now, can I have the truck?

- Just be back soon.
- Okay, I'll be back soon.

- Go Birds.
- Go Birds.

Thanks.

And who do you think lives in
that little cave right there?

Trolls.

Trolls?

I think you're right.

Hey, what's your
special wish for today?

- Roll it.
- Roll it.

Pat it.

- Mark it with a "B."
- Mark it with a "B."

Put it in the oven
for baby and me.

* Twinkle, twinkle
little star

* How I wonder what you are

* Up above
the world so high

* Like a diamond in the sky

* Twinkle, twinkle
little star

* How I wonder what you are

* Then the traveler
in the dark

* Thanks you for
your tiny spark

* He can't see
which way to go

* If you didn't twinkle so

* Twinkle, twinkle
little star

* How I wonder what you are

- You made it.
- Yeah. Dr. Fisher?

- Darryl Eckford?
- Yeah.

Come in, you're late.

Sorry, it took longer than
I thought it was going to.

That's okay.
It's fine.

Dr. Fisher...

On the phone, you said
you could help us.

Yeah, you've got questions
about the afterlife.

I guess I want to know what
happens when Abby passes on.

Oh, she'll pass on.

At least the Abby
that you know.

So what part of her won't?

Soul?

It's as good
a word as any.

- Do you believe people...
- I don't believe, no.

You just said...

When you interview over
2,000 kids from all over,

who can remember
exactly how they died,

who can remember
the names of relatives

that they've
never met before...

When a three-year-old boy
who won't stop saying "Pippin,"

leads you to a backyard,
300 miles away,

a backyard that
he's never been to before,

and he points to the ground
and you dig up a tin

and inside are
the 50-year-old

mummified remains
of a pet bunny,

and on the collar
it says, "Pippin"...

Believing seems
redundant, doesn't it?

It's like believing
in gravity.

Or believing
in birthday cake.

He's in there somewhere.

Who?

The Pippin boy.

In here?

It's my life's work
in that box.

Videos?

Yeah, interviews.

Back when I had tenure.

You play squash?

No, I'm here
about my daughter.

Yeah, this is
about your daughter.

Come on.

What do you
mean, "squash"?

It's research.

You said you wanted proof,
you came all this way.

How could you possibly
have proof?

Said the Bible thumper.

Where's that big
teacher of yours?

At Mitch's.

Watching football?

What's wrong?

"What's wrong?"

What isn't wrong?

Sweetie...

It's nothing.

I know what "nothing" means.

He's been
acting strange.

Stranger than his
usual strange?

Honey, everyone's sky gets
clouded from time to time.

Remember what your
dad always said,

"God is smiling.
Smile back."

I wonder if Dad
would say that now.

Of course he would.

Couldn't slap the smile
off that man's face.

Ear-to-ear, even on
his deathbed.

That was morphine, Mom.

Hello?

Hey, honey, it's me.

Where are you?

Uh...
Seeing a specialist for Abs.

How's she doing?

A specialist? We've...

We've seen the specialists.

Look, can we talk
about this later?

I'm with the guy right now.

You were with Mitch.

Yeah, it was sort of
a last-minute decision.

What are you doing, Darryl?

I'll be home early, I promise.
Before church.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

I gotta go. Um...

Give Abs a kiss for me.

Love you.

Ta-da! I finished.

What do you think?

I thought
she'd like the colors.

I can make
something different,

it's not a problem,
I'll just...

He's not with Mitch.

Where is he?

Would you like a soak?

Come on, have a soak.

Come on.

Let's take off your shoes.

Roll up your trousers.

What exactly
are we doing here?

I need to get back.

I'll tell you
something, Darryl,

your daughter is
a rare case.

For a child to be
remembering while dying,

- you're very lucky.
- "Lucky"?

Very.

How do you suppose
I'm lucky?

The young can
see the past.

The dying young
can see the future.

"See the future"?

Right?

It's all about light.

I hope this stuff
still works.

Give me a...
Give me a six.

All right.

Give me a seven.

Okay, again, seven.

Eight.

Work, damn it!

Okay, nine.

It's not firing.

Nine. Nine!

Ah!

- Ah! My eye.
- Jesus.

I'm so sorry.

Here, let me see it.

Let's put some water on it.

What is that?

Ow! Ow!

It's Russia's finest.
I'm sorry.

I drink too much.

At least it'll
be disinfected.

Here.

Here, just...

An astronaut?

Ha! That's a new one.

I just can't.

With Abby, and now Darryl...

I don't know
what to do.

You don't do anything.

You take care of
the Lord's little angel.

We will look out for Darryl.

He said he'd be back
for church tomorrow.

And he will be.

He will be.

That stuff you said
about dying,

and seeing the future...

You really believe that?

Do you want
my help, Darryl?

I still don't know
what it is you do.

I have a camera.
A special camera.

I'll bring it by.

A camera?

It's frontal
lobe photography.

It's basically
an EEG hooked up to
a penetrating light,

which activates
the pineal gland.

It's all captured on
good old silver nitrate.

Taking photographs
of what?

Whatever's gonna come next.

Look...

My career is in the pits
and, as I said,

your daughter
is a rare case.

I'll call you
in a couple days.

Your daughter doesn't have
a couple of days, Darryl.

It's now or never.

I just need to go in there
and just get a couple of shots.

I have to talk to my wife.

This could be the chance
you need to see your kid again.

I'll call you.

All right.

I'll see you around.

You should probably put
some ice on that, too.

Knock, knock.

Thanks for coming.

Oh! Jeez, you spooked me.

Is everything all right?

Darryl thinks
Abigail is an astronaut.

An astronaut?

Jan needs our help.

What... What do you
want me to do?

Morning, Mitchell.

I'm just pulling your leg.
I heard you had his truck.

Hi, Bill. Sorry I'm rushing
to get back...

G.D., what happened
to you?

You good, Darryl?

Yeah, I'm fine, Bill.
I'm fine.

Smells like the hard stuff.

I know it's been tough
for you and Jan...

I don't drink, Bill,
you know that.

Well, something's
been drinking.

Yeah, that was a spill.

Uh-huh.

And the shiner?

Squash. Squash, yeah.
I was at a squash court.

You were playing squash?

That's right, Bill.
I gotta go.

How'd you

like to let me give you
a lift into town, Darryl?

No, I'm fine, Bill. I'm...
Really, I'm fine.

I can't just let you just drive
on out of here like this.

Ava told me about
your difficulties.

What do you mean,
"difficulties"?

I won't give you
a ticket or nothing...

I'm not drunk, Bill!

Where's Dad?

He'll be here soon.

Okay, if you start to feel bad,
we can leave, okay?

Here, take your
swallow pills.

No.

Abby, please.

They hurt my throat.

Ava said it was bad.

It's okay.
Just where you left off.

Hi, sweetie.

What happened
to your eye?

My eye?

It's nothing, you should
see the other guy.

I can explain.

- Bill pulled me over.
- Not now.

Dear Lord, thank you for this
food which is laid before us.

Let us use it to
nourish our bodies,

and thee to
nourish our souls.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Okay.

Look, Mom.

This is good.

Did Barbara bring it?

Could I pour you some tea?

Yes.

Yes? Okay.

Or do you want to
pour the tea?

- Me.
- Okay.

Can I come
play with you guys?

What do you think?
Can Daddy play with us?

Okay.

The dog...

You should stay
on the couch.

I'll sleep right here.

I'm sleeping here.

So I'll sleep in our room.

Hey...

- Hey.
- Morning, Darryl.

Where's my truck?

Oh! Darn it, Mitch...

- Where is it?
- It's, uh...

It's still in the lot at BKV.

It's in the BKV lot?

I know, I'm sorry.

Darryl, I need my truck
for work, you know that.

I know, let me grab
my keys, Mitch.

Don't bother, okay?

I went and I
picked it up already.

You did?

I'm here to talk
some sense into you.

All this spaceship stuff...

Then you go out and you get
a DUI in my girl?

I wasn't drinking.

It doesn't matter,
just grab your trunks.

What do they think?

It's stuff I don't wanna say
and you don't wanna hear.

But you show up late
to church,

you're leaking of booze,

you look like you
just got into a fight.

People talk...

You don't think that.

Darryl, I don't...

I don't know
what I think anymore.

Look, I know you and Jan are
going through a lot.

But we all are.

You know, don't go
making it any harder.

Come on,
let's go for a jump.

- No, you go ahead.
- No, you're coming.

It'll fix you up.

Let's do it.

You really get that
from playing squash?

Kinda, yeah.

Should've just said
I walked into a door.

Yeah, that or a cannonball.

Whoo!

Yeah!

That'll fix you up!

There you go.

You okay?

I can't feel it, Mom.

It doesn't hurt.

No? Good girl.

You're so tough.

Hey, sweetheart.

Come on.

Here it comes.

Drip, drip.

There we go.

I'm home.

Don't let him
big-dog you now.

How was Mesachie?

It was cold.

I got something for Abs.

I thought we could
give it to her together.

Are you kidding me?

What?

What are you doing?

- Well, Abby loves space, so...
- What are you doing, Darryl?

Abby loves space,
so I got this for her.

No, you got it for you.

Will Abby like this?

Jan?

Jan.

Will Abby like this?

- Yes.
- That's what's important.

Whoo!

So we'll leave
in an hour?

I was thinking, um... I should
stay home today.

She's in
no shape to go.

Go where?

Um, church, hon.

You have to, Darryl.

After what happened there,
I don't feel comfortable.

Besides, this is our business.

Family business.

They're our family, too.

Family don't
judge each other.

Oh, so now it's you
who knows about family.

Is that Sally, babe?

It's really good.

It's a terrible thing.
It's a terrible thing.

Bless you. Bless you.

Look at your faces,
you're all so beautiful.

How's things?

Okay.

How's Darryl?

Where is the guy?

He's doing better.

He's looking after Abby.

I knew a jump
would fix him up.

Lots of people.

Welcome, everyone.

It's good to see
you here today.

Get the door.

Say cheese.

Who are they?

Colleagues.

You spoke on the phone.

You didn't say anything
about bringing other people.

It's just a precaution

to ensure everything
runs smoothly.

We gather here today,

oh, heavenly Father,

to pray for a very
special girl and her family,

who is in all our hearts,

your young and beautiful
Abigail Eckford.

We lower our heads
to you as our Lord and Savior.

We lower our heads
to you in trust

that you will accept one
of our own, little Abigail,

into your holy kingdom.

We ask that your blessing be
placed on her mother, Jan,

and that you give her
the strength to persevere.

And with your infinite mercy,

we pray for
her father, Darryl,

who is going through
unimaginable pain.

We do not judge him,
heavenly Father.

When God embraces
Abigail with his arms,

we pray that
Jan and Darryl...

I'm sorry.

Okay, sweetie, we've got to put
this on your head, okay?

We pray for Jan and Darryl,

that they will find comfort
in their daughter's passing,

knowing that this is not
the end of Abigail Eckford,

simply a new beginning.

For it is in Jesus' name
we pray.

Amen.

Amen.

Daddy, it hurts.

Ow!

- Stop it.
- Take it off!

- Turn it off.
- Darryl, no.

Turn it off!

It's almost...

Jan. Jan, listen,
I can explain everything.

Hi, baby, come here.

We just need a few
more minutes. We're almost...

Get out!

It's okay, sweetie.
It's okay...

Leave, Fisher!
Sweetie...

No, just go.
Just go.

Please, just go.

It's okay, baby.

- Jan...
- Please just leave.

I can explain.

I'm calling your uncle.

Don't.

Okay. You're okay.

Fisher! You lied to me.

- It was almost done.
- You hurt my daughter.

I will pray for you both.

Yeah. Yeah, you do that.

You think I'm
going to hurt her?

Ava, I'll go.

But first I need you to say
that you'll tell Jan something.

I'm not going to tell her
a G.D. thing.

They deserve peace.

Listen, Ava? Ava.

I need you tell Jan to ask
Abby if she saw anything.

Could you please
move your foot?

You tell her.

Go home, Sal.

Sally, go home.

What was that all about,
can you tell me?

Well, all I know is that
William has the kettle on

and we're going to
stay the night, okay?

Try and get
some rest, dear.

Mom...

Is Darryl okay?

You might think
that God is sad.

But you know what?

God is smiling.

Smile back.

Room for one, please.

Sorry, no dogs.

Well, what am I
supposed to do?

She's got nowhere to go.

This is a dog-free motel.

I love dogs, but...

Do you think you could
make an exception,

just this one time?

Sorry. No dogs.

Stay there, Sal.

Room for one, please.

Where's your dog?

I gave her away.

You gave it away?

That's right.

Is non-smoking all right?

Hey, honey?

That him?

Am I in Hell, Sally?

Darryl, she won't
talk to you.

- Ava...
- No Darryl, listen to me.

You talk to God.
He's all ears.

Ava, don't hang up.

Bless you.

Where's Dad?

He's out.

Out where?

You miss him?

God will always
take care of you.

What does God look like?

God?

Like you. And me.
And Daddy.

Darryl, open up.

I know you're in there.

Look, the photos
didn't turn out. I'm...

There's still a few kinks.

We got a little. Maybe.

Take care, Darryl.

I'll see you next time.

Think big.

How's she doing?

It's about time
for her next dose.

Did he say
where he was going?

- Darryl?
- Yes.

Just walked off
with the dog.

Did he say anything?

Anything at all?

Well, just...
Something about Abigail

and whether or not
she saw something

when that contraption was
on her head, I mean...

God...

If you're there...

Please help me.

- Hello?
- Mitch?

Hey, hey, I need one more
favor from you.

What?

If we're friends,
at all,

then you'll come pick me up
at the Robin Hood Motel...

Why'd you do it?

I don't even
understand you...

Mitch, I gotta go home.

I'm sorry.

Mitch, please,
I need to go see...

I'm sorry, Darryl.

Mitch...

- Goodbye.
- Mitch?

Sal, let's go.

I said, no dogs.

Yeah, um... I found her
in the dumpster.

I guess that jerk that I gave
her to didn't want her.

So, I got to check out since
this is a no-dog motel.

Yeah, no dogs.

Is that your
green car out there?

Yeah.

Hey, I took your keys.

I was going to
steal your car,

and the dog slept
in the room last night.

I'm sorry.

I'm an astronaut, Mama.

What's the astronaut's
special wish for today?

Come see me.

See you where?

At my house.

Your house?

Where's your house?

Houston.

Houston?

What color is your
house in Houston?

Yellow.

Yellow?

- Are you sure?
- Uh-huh.

And what else is at
your house in Houston?

Mommy and Daddy and you.

And my rocket ship.

Hey!

Sal, come on.

- Thanks, Mitch.
- Get in.

You're a good friend, Mitch.

All right.

Twinkle, twinkle
Little star

What happens when
a star stops shining?

When a star goes out?

There's a big burst of
light that continues

on and on
forever and ever.

So, really,
the star never goes out.

Same with
the light in here,

it goes on and on
forever and ever.

- This is as far as you get.
- Thanks, Mitch.

Hey, Mitch.
You're a good Christian

and you're a good friend.

Go Birds.

Come on.

Go Birds.

Please don't
say anything.

I just...

Need to be here, okay?

Jan, are you okay?

I'm oka... I'm okay, Mom.

How is she?

A little loopy,
but no pain.

Jan...

I'm so sorry about everything.

You know, she...
She told me things.

Things that she saw.

What'd she say?

Sweet pea?

She's okay, Ava.

What did Abby see?

She said she saw...

Me and you...

Together.

That's good.

I like this one.
