Fuck you, you fuckin' cunts.

Hey.

Hey.

Please.

Please.

Please don't.

Pl-please.

Please. Please.

Don't. Please stop.

Please. Please.

Please stop.



Don't.

Please...

Stop!

Please...

Stop...

Where is everyone going?

Whatever happened,
I want to help.

Out of the way,
goddamn it! Move aside!

Thanks, brad.

I'm here at the heaven's
converts compound

In noma, florida,
where cult members

Recently opened fire
on atfec agents.

Tensions between the cult
and the agency have been

Escalating for days,
starting when atfec...



Mornin'.

Hey, I'm leaving in 10 minutes.

You want a ride to school?

Mm-mmm.

Have you seen a bunch
of my white shirts?

No.

You sure?
Yes.

Morning, mr. Garvey.

You want me to make coffee?

Hey!

Did you turn the alarm
off last night?

Nope.

It wasn't on.

Yeah, it was.
I set it to "stay."

- Motion detector deactivated.
- Shit.

Looks like you mastered it.

Where is she?

Are you surprised?

We want them to remember
something they want to forget.

They weren't just gonna
leave us alone, right?

It was only a matter of time.

I guess I should be
scared, but...

I'm not.

Is that weird?

Oh, fuck.

I just hope she didn't
have to suffer too much.

Are you ok?

Hold on.

It's ok.

Laurie, it's ok.

Laurie. Oh, god.

I think we need some help!

Laurie, it's ok, it's ok.

It's ok.

She can't breathe.

It's ok, it's ok.

Help!

It's ok.

Somebody, please help!

Hey! What are you doing? Hey!

- You got the rocks?
- What?

The rocks.

Look, we need the pictures of
position before you can bag them.

Yeah. Ok, sorry.

Give me a break, all right? She
lived with you for a year.

You got no emergency
contact, nobody?

"no family."

Uh-huh. Well, I guess
she just grew on a tree.

You get statements from
everyone in their search party?

Yes, sir.
Mike's at the biggie,

Getting yellow pads in bulk.

I need you off the streets.

I don't have the resources
to protect you.

I know, yeah. Tell me to fuck off.
I get it.

Oh. Good.

Thanks.

Hey, uh, chief, one
of the witnesses says

He's gonna be late for his
ballroom dancing lesson.

Ok if I let him go?

Your boys gonna
give me my gun back?

It doesn't shoot rocks.

What were you doing out here?

Drinking beers,

Star-gazing.

Hell, you could have been my alibi
if you didn't keep blowing me off.

Hey, dean.

Burt.

We have an arrangement.

Population control.

Oh, shit!

Hey, careful, goddamn it!

Fuckin' horrific.

Is that the best you can do?

Sorry to bother you, but could
I speak with my daughter?

No problem.

Jill. Jill. Honey.

Jill, what's wrong?

Jill? Jill? Wait.

Just tell me.

Tell me what happened to her.

What happened to her?

Oh, no, no.
Your mom's ok.

Your mom's ok.

Then why are you here?

Last night a woman was
attacked, in the g.R.,

And I wanted you to hear it from
me first so you wouldn't worry.

Please don't tell your friends.

I want you home before dark.

You and aimee order a pizza.
I'm gonna work late.

Might not see you
till the morning, ok?

I'll text you.

Ok, yeah.

I shouldn't have cried.

She wouldn't have cried for me.

Ok. Ready? Ok.

I understand we had
a rough morning.

Sorry.

Compound fracture.

Ok. I had a look
at your tests.

Everything seems normal.
Let's have a listen.

All right.

May I ask how many cigarettes
a day you're smoking?

Ok, what you experienced was
most likely a panic attack.

If it happens again,
take two of these.

If you need more, you're
gonna need a prescription

From a psychiatrist.

Ok? You're free to go.

"is the victim a member
of an organization

"that claims an independent
religious belief

Not listed
on the awr?" check.

"is the membership of the
organization currently comprised

Of more than 40 individuals?"
it was not your call to make!

Check.
"has there been a pattern

Of violent incidents
involving..."

I know what it fuckin' says because
I signed that fuckin' thing!

Check! "if these conditions are met,
any... " you gonna continue reading?

There's a whole bunch of
fuckin' big words in there

That you might not even
fuckin' understand!

"...Alcohol, tobacco, firearms,
explosives and cults!

Please contact
the bureau immediately!"

Immediately!

How about I immediately shove
that fuckin' thing up your ass?!

Chief garvey!

Fat fuck.

What's up, gentlemen?

Detective vitello took it
upon himself to call the feds

And punt on our homicide.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I was just doing my job by
following the guidelines...

Lou?
Yeah?

Shut the fuck up. Who'd
you talk to at atfec?

Agent...

Uh, sean kilaney.

Great. Please give agent
kilaney's contact information

To your boss, so that he
can undo your fuck-up.

Thank you.

You need anything from me?

Curfew.

Nobody out past dark.

Look, the town feels
a response,

And if the g.R. Violates,
I can arrest 'em.

I'll call a council
meeting for tomorrow.

Can you be there
to make your case?

I just made my case.

It's a formality, kevin.

I trust you,

But this is a fucking mess.

Lots of eyes on us.

You won't be
influenced by your...

Family situation?

No.

I won't.

Mastercard gets us miles.

We haven't flown in two years.

Miles are meaningless.

They're obviously
not meaningless.

Yes, they are. Why do
you keep saying that?

Ok, then.
Just wait. Oh...

Can you pull my wallet
from the front?

I got it, I got it. I did, I did, I did.
You got it?

I did. Yeah.
All right.

Amanda.

Amanda, stop staring.

You, too.

Go.

Hey, sean kilaney at alcohol, tobacco,
firearms, explosives and cults.

Leave a message
and I'll hit you back.

Agent kilaney, chief kevin
garvey from mapleton, new york.

Uh, one of our investigators
just spoke to you

About a possible
cult-related incident,

But his assessment was premature, so
we'd like to handle that ourselves.

If you give me a call back,
I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey! Hey!

Heh! Sorry.

They're loud,
but they're harmless.

Hey! Hey!

Don't worry about it.

Stakin' out the moonies, huh?

They made an offer on my house.

Guess they're
running out of room.

Bought a church, too, I heard.

Yeah.

One of 'em got killed, huh?

Sorry, I'm not allowed to
discuss ongoing investigations.

Don't investigate too hard.

Hello?

Dennis, it's me.
Yeah, chief?

Look, I want you
to go and pick up

Reverend jamison, bring him in.

Morning, mr. Garvey.

Why isn't the alarm on?

You didn't text me.

I didn't want it to go off in the
middle of the night when you got home.

Well, that defeats the purpose.

Please, just set it.

Ok?

Mr. Garvey, we heard that
the woman who got killed

Got dragged behind a truck
and, like, crucified.

Is that true?
He's not gonna tell you.

No, aimee, it's not true.

See?

What a relief.

Is she ok?

She's jill.

What does that mean?

She doesn't really do ok.

Can't win.

Now you're gettin' it.

You look nice.

Have a seat.

Hungry?

They got all-day
breakfast here.

What can I get for you, hon?

Can we have a minute, please?

Sure.

How long has it been since
you've spoken, laurie?

About 7 months?

Eight. Right.

Well, laurie,

You are overdue for a day off.

No, no, no.

You can talk.

Just for today.
Say anything you want to.

Hey, I'm doing it, too, right?

Are you ready?

She's gonna have french toast,

Scrambled eggs, order of bacon,
large orange juice. Coffee?

She's gonna have coffee.

Coffee. You got it.

This is fuckin' good.

Hey, sean kilaney at alcohol, tobacco,
firearms, explosives and cults.

Leave a message
and I'll hit you back.

Agent kilaney, uh,

Kevin garvey again
from mapleton.

I left you a message
last night,

But I haven't heard back.

Please call me.
It's important.

Hey, officer mustard stain.

Dropping off or what?

I'm actually picking up. You
got some of my shirts here.

Yeah, sure.
You have a ticket?

Just check the computer.
It's under garvey.

No ticket, no?

No, no ticket.

Ok, you pick up last Tuesday.

No, I know, I know I picked up,

But I'm missing
my white shirts.

Can you just check again?

Sorry. No shirts, huh?

You didn't even look.

I looked on computer.
Unless you have ticket...

I don't have a ticket.

If they turn up,
we'll call you. Ok?

Mr. Extra starch!

Dropping off or what?

Yeah.

Don't give up.

They want you to surrender so they can
sell your shirts on the black market.

Stay strong. Oh. I hope
you have a ticket.

I always have a ticket.

Oh.

Well, you know what they say.

They'll turn up once you
stop looking for them.

You think so?

No, probably not.

All right, uh,
see you later, nora.

Bye.

Mr. Four eyes! Yes.

Where are we?

Statements from the moonies.

I didn't check the spelling.

Oh, dennis has your
priest in the war room.

Gonna give him your confession?

Hey, matt.

Thanks for coming in.

So...

Where were you two nights ago?

Why?

Well,

According to the hospital,
you had a rock thrown

At you a couple months ago,

One aimed at the g.R.

Then they repaid your
generosity by buying up

Your church out from under you,
and they painted it white.

You, uh, think I had
something to do

With what happened
to that woman?

No.

Just want to know where you
were a couple nights ago.

I was at my house
with my study group.

A few of them spent the night.

I appreciate the extra
help with mary.

Can you give me their names?

Of course.

The, uh, woman.

Did she have any family?

Why?

Well, back when I
had the church,

I used to see her sometimes.

She'd just stand outside
the way they do.

She never talked to me,
of course, but...

I don't know.

She became a familiar face.

Do you think I could see her?

What, her body?

Yes.

You do realize you're
a suspect, matt?

Well, obviously,
but once I'm not,

I'd like to pray for her.

Please?

It'll just be 5 minutes.

No. You can't see her.

Hey, chief, it's 3:00.

They're all in town hall,
waiting for you.

What? Who?

The mayor, the curfew thing.

Oh, shit!

Please, everyone calm down.

I really do appreciate
your patience.

Just a few more moments,
I promise you.

What the fuck?

They just showed up.
I didn't know.

What, I'm not allowed
to leave my own house?

How long is this gonna last?

Please, hold your questions.

Chief garvey suggested
the curfew,

And he's here to explain
exactly how it will go.

Chief?

Really?

Um... ahem...

Well, m-ms. Mayor, uh...

I'm sure you're all aware

That a violent
hate crime occurred

A couple nights ago

To a member of
the guilty remnant.

While we conduct our
investigation, I thought

It would be in the best
interests of the town

If people remained
in their homes after 8 p.M.

I work nights!

I'm sure we can make exceptions

If you have to get to a job.

So we have to change
our lives because of them?

Yeah!

They broke into
my house on christmas.

People, please, look, we're just
trying to keep everybody safe.

Well, you're not
trying to keep us safe.

That's right.

Excuse me?

It just doesn't seem fair,

Us being locked up
inside our houses.

We didn't do anything wrong.

Yeah.

I mean, with all
due respect, chief,

How do we even know these people
didn't do this to themselves?

Because you were with them
when they found the body.

Well, I was with some of them.

What are you...
You don't even live here.

Well, sure I do.

And when I moved here, hell,
it seemed like a nice place.

- Oh, are you fuckin' serious?!
- Ok.

I think everyone's
had their say.

This is not a public vote.

It's for the council alone.

And, for the record,

I fully support chief garvey.

All in favor of imposing

An emergency town-wide
curfew to start

At 8 p.M., effective
this evening?

All opposed?

Yeah.

Where's patti?

Get all your people
together here in 5 minutes

From all your fuckin' houses.

I'll wait.

It's just been made clear to me that it's
officially open season on you people.

Now, the ideal thing would be for
you all to stay off the streets,

But we all know that's
not gonna happen, is it?

Whistles.

Keep these on you
at all times. Use them.

I got my people on extra patrols,
and they're ready to respond.

This doesn't have
to happen again,

But that's on you.

No one understands whatever
it is you believe in.

They don't give a shit...
Long as you leave them alone.

But if you keep following people
around, buying up their homes,

Painting everything white,

Breaking into their houses,
they will retaliate.

Any questions?

I'll take them in writing.

Thank you for your time.

It's meg, right?

Do you still talk?

Yes.

Where's laurie?

I don't know.

Is she ok?

I don't know.

I'm the only person that gives
a shit about you people,

And you won't even
tell me where my wife is?

She's not your wife anymore.

Ok. All done, girls?

Oh, we are indeed.

Just the check.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, could I have
a doggie bag, please?

For what?

Just get me the bag,
sweetheart.

Ok.

I brought her here, too.

Just over a year ago.

Gladys sat right there where
you're sittin' right now.

I don't know how,
but she somehow got word

That her son had died.

Did she ever tell you
she had a son?

No.

It was over in yemen, I think.

His helicopter just
crashed or some such,

And as you can imagine,

She did not take it very well.

She questioned her commitment,
she became distracted,

And she began to feel again.

And there was a lot of mopin'
and cryin' around the house,

And then it started to happen

Out in the open.

So I brought her here,
I fed her,

And I invited her to speak
her troubles out loud.

I gave her every
opportunity to talk.

She never spoke one word,

Never broke,

Just like you.

So I'm going to tell you

What I told her.

I understand the pull.

I understand.
It's your family.

It's your past.

I understand

That going back to them
feels comfortable

And easy

Because the alternative,
what we do,

Is very, very hard.

But there can't be
any doubt, laurie...

Because doubt

Is fire!

And fire is gonna burn you up

Until you are but ash!

Ok. Ladies,
come see us again.

Yeah.

You remember what you told me
to do in the last session...

Just before everything changed?

Can I be excused,

Please?

Yeah.

Ok, reverend. You want
to pray over her? Fine.

What made you change your mind?

The closest thing she's gonna
get to a funeral... oh, shit.

Jesus said to his disciples,

"compare me to something
and tell me what I am like."

And thomas said
to him, "teacher,

My mouth is utterly unable
to say what you are like."

And jesus said,
"I am not your teacher

"because you have
become intoxicated

From the bubbling
spring I have tended."

And he took thomas and withdrew

And spoke 3 sayings to him.

When thomas came back,
his friends asked him,

"what did jesus say
to you?"

And thomas responded,

"if I tell you
what he spoke to me,

"you will pick up rocks
and stone me,

And fire will come from the
rocks and devour you."

You want to tell me
what that means?

It means it's easier
to stay silent

Than it is to speak truth.

Killing these people
is pointless.

They don't care because
they're already dead.

You know, what I want is
to bring them back to life.

Oh. Sorry about that.

Must be that one.

Uh, billy?

What happened to the d.B.
In 4? Female?

Oh, we shipped her out.

You fuckin'
shipped her? Where?

Sorry. We got an email ordering
us to send her out to virginia.

Uh, it was from...
Agent kilaney.

It says you guys called him.

Hey, sean kilaney at alcohol, tobacco,
firearms, explosives and cults.

Leave a message
and I'll hit you back.

Listen, asshole,
you don't call me back

And then you email my morgue
and you pull my fuckin' body?!

If you don't call me back within
the hour, I will be in my car

Driving to d.C., where I will
personally hit you fuckin' back!

Understood?!

It's kevin garvey
from mapleton!

Fuck!

I say fuck, too.

Disarm system now.

Disarm system now.
Oh, shit.

Disarm system now.
Shit.

Disarm system now.

Fuck!

Uhh! Fuck.

Fuck.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Fuck!

System deactivated.

Hello?

Hey, chief harvey. Sean kilaney
from atfec. How are ya?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I was down in florida.

Fuckin' mess.
You see it on the news?

No.

Count yourself lucky.

So, uh, you got
a cult-related homicide?

Didn't you get my messages? Well, just one.
You leave more?

Now, you want us to take
jurisdiction, right?

Uh... uh, no.
Don't worry about it.

Um, listen, you never should
have gotten that call.

One of my detectives
jumped the gun. Vitello.

Oh.
He said he spoke to you.

Oh, ok. Let me, uh,
pull it up here. Uh...

Got it. Jesus.
Right. The stoning.

Fuck. The victim was
what, tomorrow's family?

No, guilty remnant.

Oh, those nuts.

What's up with
the chain-smoking?

Look, you know what? It sounds
like you got your hands full.

They sent the body to you a couple
hours ago, and it's not like...

Shit. They did?

They said you emailed them.

Uh, that's automated. It
gets sent to the local m.E.

As soon as I put
a tier 3 in the system.

Well, then send her back
to me. Send the body back.

Yeah, wish I could. She's en route
to our forensic processing center.

Then how 'bout I come down
there, I pick her up myself?

Uh, sorry. Once she's in the
system, there's nothing I can do.

Well, what about, uh,

Forensics, evidence,
our witness statements?

You know what?
You want me to...

You go ahead and hold on
to all of that, ok?

You should be hearing from
one of our field guys soon.

In how long?

Uh, 4 to 6 weeks.

Oh, fuck.

Or, if you want,

We could just eliminate
the infestation.

Excuse me?

I can have 3 vans full of armed
agents there by the end of the week.

They pay a visit to whatever
compound these fucks call home,

And they get you the results
you're lookin' for.

Chief...

This shit spreads
if you let it.

Don't worry about your victim.
She doesn't give a shit.

Worry about your town.

And, uh... ahem.

The guilty remnant.
What happens...

What would happen to them?

What happens is

They go away.

They're not
your problem anymore.

Just say the word,

And everything
can go back to normal.

Well, I appreciate that.

Hello?

You still there?

Chief?

Uh... Uh...

Uh, but no thanks.

We can handle it.

Ok.

Good luck with that, chief.

Sorry, I can't sell alcohol to
people who are already enibritted.

Who are what?

Enibritted.

Oh. Inebriated?

Yeah.
Oh, I'm not, so

Promise you won't get
in any trouble.

All right.

So, you guys, uh,

Catch who killed that lady yet?

No.

We have not.

Hey.

Hey!

Open the door.

We're closed.
No, no, no.

It's me, officer mustard stain.

Open the door.

Open the door.
We're closed!

Sorry, sir. We're closed.

Ok?
Oh, I'm a sir now?

Now I'm a sir.
Open the door!

Hang up the phone and
open this door right now!

Please, if you
come back tomorrow...

Open the door.

Sir! You cannot...

Oh, I cannot?!

I cannot?

Open the motherfuckin'
door right now!

Ok, ok. O-ok.

Please, please.
We're... what do you want?

I want you to look
for my shirts,

And I would appreciate it if
you fuckin' tried this time.

Yes, yes.
Of course. Please.

Let me... uh,

How many...
how many shirts?

Eight.
Eight.

And... and, uh,

What color?
All white!

Uh, here we are.

All white shirts, huh?

That's right.
Here we are.

I've got them. They're here.
Yeah. One second.

Yes.

See? White shirts.

Here you go.

More white shirts.

That's...

Here. White.
Yeah.

White shirts.

Eight shirts.
Thank you.

Uh, no, no.
It's ok.

No charge, sir.

Our mistake, ok?

Thanks.

Testing. Testing.

One, two.
Testing, testing.

One, two. Good evening.

Hello.

My name is matt jamison.

I didn't know
your friend very well.

I don't even know if you
considered her a friend,

But she lived here,
with all of you.

I tried to give her
a blanket once

On a cold winter day,
but she wouldn't take it.

She was committed to her path.

I don't understand your faith,

But I understand commitment

And I respect it.

But we are, all of us,
no matter what we've suffered,

Still alive.

We still feel pain and sorrow.

We still feel loss.

We still feel love.

This woman was one
of you, and now she's gone.

I know you cannot
speak her name.

I know you cannot say
good-bye.

But I ask you at least

To let me.

If any of you wants to,
I invite you now

To come out and join us.

"I lift up my eyes
to the hills.

Where does my health
come from?"

"it comes from the lord,

"the maker of heaven and earth.

"he will not let
your foot slip.

"he who watches over you
will not slumber.

Indeed, he..."

Disarm system now.

Disarm system now.

System deactivated.

Hey.

I heard the alarm.

I just wanted to make
sure it was you.

Oh, thanks for setting it.

Yeah.

Find your shirts?

Yeah.

Your mother and I are
getting a divorce.

Ok.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Uh...

I love you, honey.

I love you, too.
