ANDERSON:
It's lookin' a little thin
out there this mornin'.
Always seems to happen
with the sudden change
in weather.
"Would I rather spend
my Sunday morning
"with that blow-hard
Reverend Anderson..."
(laughter)
"or with a fishing rod
in my hand?"
(laughter)
Why are you laughin'?
This isn't a joke.
Church is not optional.
This is the only thing
that will fortify us...
sustain us...
inoculate us
against the darkness.
Ezekiel urges us
to be prepared.
Be... prepared.
(clattering)
Because the unexpected
could be lurking
behind the next tree.
But there is one thing
that should never
take us by surprise,
because we know it is there,
always lurkin',
ready to seize us
in our moments of weakness.
Five mornings ago,
when I awoke, I was prepared
for nothing more than...
another glorious day
in God's creation.
(crinkling)
But by day's end...
I was doing battle
with a servant
of Satan himself.
Evil incarnate.
Evil wearing a face
that no one would expect.
A child's face.
A face contorted, twisted.
Sweet innocence corrupted.
Vomiting a foul blackness
that could only had come
from the deepest,
darkest pits of hell.
I was furious with myself,
because I had
not been vigilant.
I was not prepared.
I let my guard down...
and evil slipped in.
Well, that's not gonna
happen again,
because it is my job
to prepare each of us
to recognize the dark forces,
and that means more butts
in these pews...
because the battle is comin'!
And unless we're prepared,
that darkness will spew forth
with the reek of a sewer...
drowning us
in its corruption.
We will choke on it,
gag on it,
and then the black pit
of hell will await us all.
I appreciate
your comin' today.
WOMAN:
I could've done without
some of that saucy language.
Puttin' people's
backsides in seats.
Maybe it's a minor blessin'
there weren't more people here
to hear me workin' "blue."
Well, I like when you put
a little pepper
on your pitches, Reverend.
Why, Mildred,
you make me blush.
Enjoy the rest
of your Sunday, ladies.
Bye-bye now.
May God bless you
and keep you.
You too, Reverend.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Okay, enjoy the rest
of your Sunday.
Stop it.
She was staring at me
like she saw a ghost.
You were gone a while
and now you're back.
That makes you
mysterious, I guess.
(door closes)
Did you tell them about
what happened with Joshua?
How could I not?
Boy was sitting there
like he'd been through
a meat grinder.
I didn't say
anything about you,
but they need
to know the story.
It's not just a story.
It's true.
Hell, yes, it is.
People will tell ya
this is full of stories.
But what good are they
if people don't believe them?
You sure it's over?
Joshua's... okay?
You jokin'?
You saw the demon leave him.
You know, that day
with my mother, when she...
I don't remember it happening
like that with her.
I'll tell you what I saw.
I saw a kind
and gentle woman...
transformed
into a monster...
finally freed of the evil
pulling her strings.
You freed her, Kyle.
Is that what I did?
Absolutely.
Well, what have we got here?
Where's Caleb?
He had to go over to Wheeling
to see his sister.
Mm-hmm...
So, I'm being handy.
(laughs)
I thought you were
gonna leave that.
"Turn the other cheek."
Honestly...
I don't mind...
folks having a bit of fun
at my expense.
Goes with the territory.
But things have changed.
Maybe it's time to start
sweatin' the small stuff.
Hey...
ever wonder it's a chicken
and egg scenario?
The more you preach
hellfire and brimstone,
the more riled up
people get.
If you'd seen what I'd seen,
you'd know that people need
to be riled up.
Now, I got your back.
Whether it cost me or not,
you know that.
But that boy you picked up
as a partner...
just showin' his face
around here got folks talkin'.
He has a talent.
Well, that's one way
to put it.
Look, I know it ain't been
easy for that boy,
but Kyle Barnes
has been trouble
since he was ten years old.
Like you and I,
we didn't raise Cain
in our day, you know?
We were young,
drunk, and stupid.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, we were.
But that boy comes from
a much darker place.
Folks say he should have
been locked up,
and current events
don't change that opinion.
Hope you know
what you're doin'.
Thank you.
(humphs)
LOWELL:
I need to talk to Chief.
What the hell
you got there, Lowell?
I need to talk to Chief.
Well, the chief's out.
GILES: Chief's back.
What in the hell
is going on here?
Last time I called this in,
ain't nobody come out
and do anything.
This time, I figured
I come down there
and light a fire
under your department's ass.
Well, you might've put it
in a bag that didn't leak.
Oh...
That looks like clean cuts.
Well, it ain't roadkill,
if that's what
you're getting at.
Critter right there
was killed with a blade
fancy-like and nailed up.
"Nailed up"?
All of them out there
like some kind of display.
Sent my dogs wild crazy.
You see anything else
out there?
Spray paint? Graffiti?
This ain't the Crips, Chief.
You see any kids
roaming around out there?
Aaron McCready?
Any of that bunch?
No. My dogs keep
most everybody away.
Mm-hmm.
You said "all."
Mm-hmm.
There's more?
Yeah.
Six of them by my count.
Six?
Cut like that
and then nailed like that.
(piano playing)
(overlapping chatter)
Hello, Mom.
Somethin' happened
a couple of days ago.
I think, uh...
I think I might have helped
save a little boy.
Reverend says that
I saved you, too.
All I know is
I put you here.
I made you like this.
After what you did to me...
I told myself I'd never
lose a minute of sleep.
You remember when
you used to read to me?

big ol' hammock?

My mother's Sarah Barnes.
She's a patient here.
Which room?
Uh...
I-- I-- I'm not sure.
Look, her bedsheets are
comin' off the bed
and there's water marks
all over the ceiling.
The room--
We'll have our maintenance
people take a look at it.
What room number
was it again?
I don't know
the fucking number.
It's Sarah Barnes,
like I said.
There's no need
to use that language.
We'll get somebody in there
as soon as possible.
Yeah? When?
'Cause the damn ceiling is
comin' down on her head

Good luck or bad?

Guess we'll soon find out.
Kyle, it's your neighbor.
(knocking continues)
I left your car
in the driveway.
Sorry to bother you.
Is everything okay here?
Is there something you want?
Uh... just want to
tell you I'm here.
Right across the way.
Thanks.
Uh...
Mind if I come in?
Just for a minute.
Uh, we can talk.
I don't wanna talk.
Look, appreciate you
letting me borrow your car,
but don't give you the right

Hey, thanks for doing this.
I couldn't get out.
Here, I got it.
I got 'em.
No, no. Uh...
this, uh, house is still
a bit of a mess.
I got it. It's okay.
You're not.
Jeans instead of PJ bottoms?
Big changes happenin'
around here.
Yeah, uh...
you could say.
(chuckles)
No shit.
Spinach, blueberries,
applesauce.
Just take it slow.
You can't go cold turkey
off a Cap'n Crunch diet.
Megan?
I gotta ask you
one more favor.
No.
Come on, Megan. Please.
I'm trying to...
change things.
You know, I'm--
I'm making amends.
I hope that's true, Kyle.
I do. But you know I can't.
I mean, it's not like
I'm asking to go with you
or anything like that.
You and Holly could
give it to her for me

"No contact" covers
everything, Kyle--
visits, phone calls,
even gifts.
Especially gifts.
HOLLY:

Are we gonna go?
Sorry, Kyle.
We gotta get to Charleston.

PATRICIA:
But now, everything is
growing in better than ever--
The squash,
the beans, the chard...
ever since you came out
and blessed my garden.
Oh.
So, it's only fitting
you should, uh,
come for supper,
taste my beet salad
for yourself.
Well, I'll be--
I'll be happy to,
but Florence here
will, uh, tell you
my calendar's pretty snarled.
Days are booked tight,
but the Reverend's free
for supper all week.
TANSY: Mm. I don't remember
tasting orange zest
last time, Mildred.
One of my little secrets.
I was so moved but terrified
by your sermon today.
What can we do
to keep the demons at bay?
ANDERSON: Well... (claps)
we start by putting asses
on those pews.
Hm?
We fill our church
to the rafters!
And you, ladies,
are my recruiters!
My righteous army.
Well, s-- sign me up.
And, uh, Kyle Barnes,
is he a member
of your army, Reverend?
Is he the one who put
those bruises on Joshua?
There was one enemy
in the room that day.
Only one.
And the blood
of every Christian soul,
Kyle Barnes included,
was spilled in defeating it.
Thank you all for comin'.
Bless you all.
See you Sunday.
Thank you, Reverend.
Now, I do hope
you take me up
on my invitation
to supper.
Just try keeping me away.
(chuckles)
Yeah.
Can I go in?
Well, can I?
Go.
Thank you.

There she is.
Sorry. Hey!
Hi.
Uh...
It's good to see you.
I wasn't sure you'd come.
I wasn't entirely sure
we were invited.
Are you crazy?
Of course you are.
Uh... (chuckles)
Hey.
Yeah...
Do you want a drink?
Yes.
Okay, okay.
You know, they got
these things called computers.
They got maps.
All kinds of stuff on them.
(chuckles)
The least you could do is mark
"north" on the damn thing.
The man said
the animal was hanging
between the back
of his property line
and the fire road.
Now, that is a skill
you could work on,
learning to read
a situation,
like that night out
at the Austin place.
Yeah, right.
Just keep my mouth shut
and follow orders.
There you go.
Eh, we should have
hauled Kyle's ass in
for what he did
to that kid.
The mother
wouldn't press charges.
Oh, come on.
Look, all due respect,
Chief, it's bullshit.
Battery against a minor?
That kid should be
in child protective custody
and Kyle should be
answering for it.
What have you got
against him?
He's your brother-in-law.
What's your wife got
to say abut all this?
Yeah, look, family's got
nothing to do with it.
Family's got everything
to do with it.
Look, the-- the man
beat up a kid.
Shit, boy.
You wanna tell me the law
or do you wanna learn
how to read a map?
That was no ordinary
domestic disturbance.
What, you saying that
because Anderson was there?
Look, are you telling me
the preacher's calling
the shots around here?
He keeps the peace
in this town
in ways our badges
and guns can't.
Are you saying
that 'cause you think
what he does is for real?
I mean, demons, and--
and exorcists and all that?
Just try to keep up.
(scoffs)
KYLE:
Shit.
Come on, Mom.
It's good. Check it out.
(coughs)
(sighs)
SARAH:
Kyle?
(door rattles)
Are you out there?
It's so dark.
(grunts)
Kyle. Honey...
you have to
let me out of here.
Honey, I'm scared.
Please, baby.
Just let me out.
I know I hurt you.
And I am so sorry.
I love you so much.
I promise you
it won't happen
ever again, okay?
I promise.

Baby?

Thank you.
She still having
a hard time with the...
arrangement?
For the first
couple of months,
she'd set three places
at supper.
It was easier just to let her.
Beat the sobbing
and screaming.
She was locking herself
in the closet.
But it's been
a little better lately.
She's not having
as many outbursts.
The ones she does have
tend to be aimed at me.
She can't understand
why Kyle has to stay away,
but it's clearly my fault.
Um...
you know, mostly,
we just don't talk about it.
Avoidance isn't healthy,
not for a seven-year-old.
Hey, Drew!
Hey!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you mind?
Oh, no. Not at all.
I'll be right back.

Hey.
Thanks for, uh...
helping me with
Operation Butts in Pews.
(chuckles)
Well, it is my duty
as a recruit
to Anderson's army,
but I-- I think you're gonna
have to find a better name.
You see?
You're helping me already.
Come in, please.
Thank you.
Is your son here?
I mean, I--
Oh, no. Aaron's out
with friends,
so he won't be home
'til late, if at all.
Oh.
And, uh...
I made a blackberry pie.
Oh, wow.
Mmm.
(sniffs)
You really are the temptress.
(chuckles)
How can I resist?
(phone beeps)
Oh, excuse me.
Hi, this is Reverend Anderson.
It really is a glorious day.
Yes, I am.
When?
You tried calling him back?
Um...
Yeah, I imagine so.
Yes, I will.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry.
Church business?
Indirectly, yes.
Well, I hope that,
uh, I can get a rain check

Sure.
Great. Okay.
Okay.

MARK:
If this is the deer trail
we've been following,
and this is
the fire road,
then we're--
We're here.
What?
Well, he said it was just past
a shagbark hickory.
The man draws a shitty map,
but he knows his trees.
Oh, shit, Chief.
Come here.
Take a look at this.
My Lord.
I never.
Look at that.
All looking
the same way.
Some crazy ass trail.
What have you done?
Are you alone?
She's here, isn't she?
Wait! How did you--
I'm listed as your mother's
emergency contact.
The Director of Facilities
called me personally.
He was not happy.
What were you thinkin'?
Look, you should see the way
they're taking care of her
in there.
I mean, that place is awful--
Jesus Christ, Kyle!
Sarah's barely getting by
with a nurse's care.
The staff and nurses
are around the clock,
and you're gonna
do it all by yourself?
How about feeding her?
You tried that yet?
What if you have to
go somewhere?
You can't leave her alone.
What if something
happens to you?
Come on, Kyle!
What if things could
be like they were?
Do you know what I mean?
I mean, Joshua, he--
He's-- He's whatever
you want to call it--
cleansed, free.
The demon left that boy.
You saw it yourself.
Yeah, it wasn't like that
with my mother!
If I drove it out of her too,
then why is she lying in there
like a fucking--
like that?
You know, exorcisms,
they're different
as the souls they taint.
Now, it's gone.
And when it went away...
that thing, it took
part of Sarah with it.
Yeah, but what if it didn't?
What if it's still
inside of her?
Kyle...
We could drive it out.
I mean, we could wake her up.
(sighs)
Oh-ho, what we got here?
Police.
It's clear.
Huh.
It's just animals.
Maybe.
Lord, in Your name
and the name of your son...
we ask You to look down
on this troubled soul.
By your divine power
and the power
of the Holy Gospel...
release this woman
from her torment
at the hands
of the beast within.
(grunts)
(groans)
(growls)
The destroyer,
the deceiver,
the unclean, the unholy shall
wither and be washed away...
(sizzling)
(screams)
by the purity and the light
of Your love.
(grunts)
In the name of Your son,
our savior, Jesus Christ,
I demand this evil
to be cast out.
We stand as instruments
of your righteous power!
It's not doing anything.
That's just words.
We gotta do something.
In the name of God,
I command you begone!
That's not working!
Kyle!
I'm sorry, son.
No.
She's already free.
No.
Kyle.
Dammit, no!
There's somethin' else.
(grunts)
Kyle!
No!
Stop it! Stop!
(grunts)
Let go! Let go!
(groans)
No!
Come on! Stop this!
Come on.
(grunts)
Aah!
No.
It worked on Joshua.
It worked before.
It worked on Sarah.
That was a long time ago.
(breathes heavily)
ALLISON:
Who's that one from, honey?
Emo.
"Emo"?
Amber, no one you invited
has that name.
Was there an Emma?
Oh, yeah. Emma.
She has messy writing
at school too.
Who's this one from?
(unwrapping)
No card.
Open it. The card'll turn up.
The pain and heartache
that Jesus relieves...
he relieves
by suffering himself.
This a sermon?
(chuckles)
No.
It's just the way it is.
You know, bringing Sarah here
wasn't wrong.
God knows your heart
drove you to it.
But, son, keeping her here
isn't right either.
Gettin' all eaten up inside...
dwelling on the past...
will eat away at whatever
future you have in store.
You wanna
reclaim your family...
you gotta let your mother go.

has been trouble
since he was ten years old.
Like you and I,
we didn't raise Cain
in our day, you know?
We were young,
drunk, and stupid.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, we were.
But that boy comes from
a much darker place.
Folks say he should have
been locked up,
and current events
don't change that opinion.
Hope you know
what you're doin'.
Thank you.

LOWELL:
I need to talk to Chief.
What the hell
you got there, Lowell?
I need to talk to Chief.
Well, the chief's out.
GILES: Chief's back.
What in the hell
is going on here?
Last time I called this in,
ain't nobody come out
and do anything.
This time, I figured
I come down there
and light a fire
under your department's ass.
Well, you might've put it
in a bag that didn't leak.
Oh...
That looks like clean cuts.
Well, it ain't roadkill,
if that's what
you're getting at.
Critter right there
was killed with a blade
fancy-like and nailed up.
"Nailed up"?
All of them out there
like some kind of display.
Sent my dogs wild crazy.
You see anything else
out there?
Spray paint? Graffiti?
This ain't the Crips, Chief.
You see any kids
roaming around out there?
Aaron McCready?
Any of that bunch?
No. My dogs keep
most everybody away.
Mm-hmm.
You said "all."
Mm-hmm.
There's more?
Yeah.
Six of them by my count.
Six?

Hello, Mom.
Somethin' happened
a couple of days ago.
I think, uh...
I think I might have helped
save a little boy.
Reverend says that
I saved you, too.
All I know is
I put you here.
I made you like this.
After what you did to me...
I told myself I'd never
lose a minute of sleep.

What can we do

we start by putting asses

Hm?
We fill our church

And you, ladies,

Well, s-- sign me up.
And, uh, Kyle Barnes,
is he a member

Is he the one who put
those bruises on Joshua?
There was one enemy
in the room that day.
Only one.
And the blood
of every Christian soul,
Kyle Barnes included,
was spilled in defeating it.
Thank you all for comin'.
Bless you all.
See you Sunday.
Thank you, Reverend.

emergency contact.
The Director of Facilities
called me personally.
He was not happy.
What were you thinkin'?
Look, you should see the way
they're taking care of her
in there.
I mean, that place is awful--
Jesus Christ, Kyle!
Sarah's barely getting by
with a nurse's care.
The staff and nurses
are around the clock,
and you're gonna
do it all by yourself?
How about feeding her?
You tried that yet?
What if you have to
go somewhere?
You can't leave her alone.
What if something
happens to you?
Come on, Kyle!
What if things could
be like they were?
Do you know what I mean?
I mean, Joshua, he--
He's-- He's whatever
you want to call it--
cleansed, free.
The demon left that boy.
You saw it yourself.
Yeah, it wasn't like that
with my mother!
If I drove it out of her too,
then why is she lying in there
like a fucking--
like that?
You know, exorcisms,
they're different
as the souls they taint.
Now, it's gone.
And when it went away...
that thing, it took
part of Sarah with it.
Yeah, but what if it didn't?
What if it's still
inside of her?
Kyle...
We could drive it out.
I mean, we could wake her up.
(sighs)
Oh-ho, what we got here?
Police.
It's clear.
Huh.
It's just animals.
Maybe.
Lord, in Your name
and the name of your son...
we ask You to look down

By your divine power

of the Holy Gospel...
release this woman

of the beast within.
