The Devout (2015) Movie Script

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?

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.

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'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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You gonna boop Daddy?

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.

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.

Pat it.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.
