I was sent to a land,
a wild land...
starved for God's guidance.
But then, I arrived here
in St. Belvedere.
I swear I heard God whisper,
"This is your place to do my work."
And all the doubt, all temptations vanished,
because I had found it.
Your true path is what saves you from a life of uncertainty.
We have new faces here today. The family of Julian Grimm.
He lived here as a boy. Does anyone recognize him?
When the mines shut, his family left, out into that sprawl.
He forgot our ways, and out there,
he struggled.
But he found prayer again.
And you know, prayer brought him back here.
Town of his youth.
That was the Creator saying, "This is your path."
Here, we have a divine energy.
So, let us bring Julian and his blossoming family
back into the fold.
- Welcome, Julian... - Welcome home.
- ...and your family. - Thank you, Pastor.
- I appreciate that. - Welcome.
Welcome to the community.
I know.
How old is your daughter?
Let's go find your mom, yeah?
Hey.
- Tiny. Tiny bites. - Em?
Honey, this is Babette Peters.
She goes to your new school. Maybe you two can be friends.
Uh, if you'd like, we could plan
a proper introduction.
She's a bad seed.
It's because she hasn't got a proper paternal figure.
...concerns there will be flooding in the region.
The concerns raised are valid, as flooding
would have an effect on crop rotation...
How you feeling? You okay back there?
Honey, I'm fine.
Okay, okay.
I just worry. That's all.
I know.
The search is on for inmate James Gillespie...
What are you readin' here, kid?
It's a comic book.
Aren't you a little old for these?
Hon, that's a check stop ahead.
- I like them. -"I like them."
Gillespie is still at large...
- Oh, come on. - ...and is wanted for
aggravated assault and attempted murder.
Officer?
Licence and registration, please.
That's my vehicle registration.
Mr. Grimm. Julian.
Thank you.
- You Julian Grimm? - Yep.
Dude, it's Teddy!
- Theodore Short. - Oh. Teddy.
We were kids together. We were in the same class!
I didn't even recognize you.
Oh, this old thing? Come on, man.
- No, no. You look good. - I tell-- You know what?
It's right that you're back. Back to your roots.
Home.
And you know, I don't want to inconvenience you, but, uh,
I got to inspect your vehicle. I gotta take a look in the back, see?
Teddy, we're just on the way home.
My wife, she's with child.
There's nothing I-- Oh. Congratulations.
There's nothing I'd like better than to get you on your way.
It's just we got a report of a teen...
hasn't been seen in a few days.
So, it's just protocol. We'll make it quick.
- Yep. - Do what we gotta do.
I suspect it's just, like, a runaway kind of situation.
You know, we're not super concerned as a...
Are you feeling okay, Mom?
You and your dad.
Such worrywarts.
Try to get along, okay?
Okay.
Uh... we could reminisce all day.
Good seeing you. We'll catch up.
All right. We will-- Yes. We will catch up.
We will catch up.
Are you so happy to be in your daddy's hometown?
Emerson, he asked you a question.
You know, you wanna get on your way,
and that's what you should do.
- We will catch up soon. - Thanks, Teddy.
- All right, my friend. - Good seeing you, buddy.
I can't believe it. Man!
Couldn't answer a simple question, no?
Can't make that effort?
Julian.
Just daydreaming...
Emerson world.
One day, you're just gonna wander off,
just wander off in la-la land. And then, the police are gonna have to look for you,
like that teen he was talking about.
Be a part of the family. Help us out here.
- God damn it! - I saw something!
God damn it, Emerson! What the hell were you thinking, grabbing the wheel like that?!
- Julian! - She almost crashed the car!
- I saw something! - Get out!
- I don't know the way home! - I don't care if you don't know
- the way home! Get out now! - Stop it!
Emerson?
Dad!
Emerson?
Emerson, I'm here!
- Emerson? - Dad!
Emerson, come here! Come here. Come here.
Emerson, hey, hey, hey. I got you. It's okay.
No. No. We have to go. Didn't you see it?
We have to go.
- Don't you see it? - There's nothing there.
I don't. Look, Emerson. There's nothing there.
- Em. - No. No, Daddy.
You didn't see it. We have to go.
Emerson, there's nothing there.
Maybe you saw a shadow,
or maybe you saw a big old grouchy bear, or...
maybe I just scared you.
Right?
- I don't wanna be here. - I know.
I hate it here.
I need you to, um...
I need you be on my team for a little while, okay?
Just help with Mom just for a little bit
until the baby's born.
I'm sorry.
Mom!
I'm not looking.
Knock, please.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Here you go.
- What's this? - I...
Can I see?
Yeah, sure.
What? Are you, like, 10?
- 15. - Hmm.
Any questions for our new girl?
Come on.
Yeah, actually.
Why do you got a boy's name?
- Oh, there we go. - It's unisex.
Joshua!
Maybe one of you could say hello, hi.
Emerson, why don't you borrow Rebecca's desk for today?
Hey, but that--
Miss Grimm has to sit somewhere.
We'll get her a new desk when Rebecca returns.
All right.
Who's completed the reading for today?
Freedom of speech.
Can someone please give me some help here?
Come on. Someone must have read it.
Delilah?
A very pretty colour, but not for school.
- Ooh! - Shh! That's enough.
Come on, Delilah. Let's have it.
Come on, Delilah.
Stop it. Simon, stop. That's enough, now.
Stop. Stop it.
Now!
Okay. Who can help out our Delilah? Anyone?
Joshua? Good.
In the play, the teacher, Mr. Cates, tells his--
- Hi. - Love the makeup.
What the fuck are you doing?
You hiding?
No.
Not exactly.
It's okay if you are.
So, um... you moved to that house past the tracks, right?
Yeah.
We're neighbours, then.
Cool.
Saw you at the church. You into that stuff?
Uh, no.
My mad believes that the godly powers of St. Belvedere
will somehow help my mother carry a baby full term.
But she looked knocked up.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's the longest that she's managed since she had me.
Do you have something to eat?
Yeah.
Here.
Um, the lady that you were with?
Gracie.
She's my mom.
She was very pretty.
No. Uh, it's nothing.
Really, I--
We could escape.
What?
We could escape if you wanna.
Divine energy!
- That road? - Yeah?
It takes you out of here,
to freedom.
One day, I'm going to hitch a ride and make my escape.
Bonjour.
Hey, Frank.
- You got a smoke for me? - Sure thing.
Huh.
Thanks.
Stay out of trouble, you two.
Let's go.
Uh, did you know that girl?
Rebecca?
Yeah, I know her.
Wonder if she's all right.
So, this acrobat? Tons of makeup.
And the host, he kept saying she had talent,
but he was a total perv.
If I was in the talent show, I'd sing.
Maybe I'll sing for you sometime.
Hey!
What's up?
I was here in the woods yesterday.
So, what's the big deal?
This... This thing, it came after me, and--
What thing?
I don't know.
I think I saw a monster.
What did it look like?
Well, I only saw it for a second,
but it was enormous.
And it looked like it was made out of the trees,
but also like a man, 'cause it had this face.
That's not important, though. It was...
It was how it made me feel.
Like... Like if it got me,
I would just disappear.
I have protection, and it's really sharp.
This is what I wanted to show you.
Come out!
Come out and meet Emerson!
Please don't.
My other person lives in here.
The secret one everybody tells you not to be.
You're like the...
the Scythians, with the whole "other person" thing.
Yeah. Maybe.
It's just something Pastor Carl says.
Like, evil spirits that follow us around.
They jump in our body, and if we lose the good path,
make us sin.
Not these.
These were more for protection.
Like, uh...
Like, we've all got this really dark spirit
hidden inside of us,
and well, if you summon it,
you unleash its power to make you fearless.
For battle, or... well, anything, really.
You had to be careful, though, not to let it out for too long,
because, well, the spirit,
it lived for blood.
Anyway, um, the Scythians,
when they were done with their dark spirits,
they would find a cave,
and they'd bury them there for safekeeping.
Welcome back to 98.9 FM,
where the hits keep on rolling.
And now, I'd like to play for you a tune
that will get you dancing in your car seats.
Oh yeah.

Where were you?
Delilah was just showing me around town.
I thought it'd be all right.
See? Everything's fine.
Delilah?
I'm gonna kindly have to ask you to go home.
Can someone please turn that down?
Ah.
Authorities in the area stated
the remains of a 15-year-old girl,
Rebecca Day, from the St. Belvedere community,
have been found.
Based on their findings,
the death is being determined
as the result of a wild animal attack.
However, district authorities are still required
to rule out foul play.
It is being requested that residents of the area
take necessary precautions
until further information is available.
What's important specifically
for all you young ladies and for you little ones,
is that you be extra cautious when going outside.
That's right. Anyone physically vulnerable
should try and be with a proper guardian,
especially in the night.
- Tommy? - Do they know what it was yet?
There has been talk of a mountain lion.
A mountain lion?
That is something we can contain.
How?
Those of you with fathers will know,
the men have come together and volunteered to patrol
the town's perimeters, to hunt down within our borders
any animals deemed a potential threat.
I'd like to volunteer for the hunt.
Well, as long as you're with your father--
It wasn't an animal.
It was a monster.
Emerson, she saw it.
Tell them.
No, no. It's fine.
Stand up, please. You can tell us what you saw.
I... don't exactly know.
- A monster. - Yeah.
Can you describe its appearance?
I was in the woods,
and at first, it chased me.
But then, it was in the trees--
And you're sure it chased you, darling?
I think. I...
I think you should talk about this to them privately.
Come on!
Let us drop this monster nonsense.
This is no time for gossip, for stories.
Freak.
This is a time to remain calm.
Hey!
"I saw a monster."
Someone died. It's not a joke.
- Um, Emerson? - Abby!
I wanted to talk--
- Seriously? - Yeah.
God, Pastor Carl is such a dickwad.
- Let's get out of here. - I would, but I can't.
Sure you can. Come on.
That was confidential information.
What?
Now they all think I'm a lunatic.
Who cares?
You had to tell.
Wednesday, periods of rain.
A high of 12 degrees. Rain on Thursday, a high of 11.
And rain on Friday, with a high of just 8 degrees.
In Lethbridge tonight, cloudy...
Hey, girls. Minors can't smoke in here, honey.
Chance of showers or a thunderstorm, a low of 7.
Sorry about your friend. It's just terrible.
I gotta ask. Is it smart for the two of you
to be out on your own like this right now?
Coffee and a burger.
Extra big and bloody. Thanks.
Uh, just a water is good for me. Thanks.
You bet.
I think we should do it.
Release our dark spirits.
Delilah, that was-- That was just a story.
What?
It's just...
I... I read it in this.
This is for kids.
Yeah, but... but it's based on anthropological stuff.
It's true, in a way.
It's, like, about people from a long, long time ago.
And, uh, what they did, it's real.
They really did it.
So then, we can do it, too.
Yeah, but--
Get the things we need and we do it tonight.
Tonight? No, no. Delilah, my dad--
- Come on! Sneak out. - He would kill us.
My dad would kill me, Delilah.
Do you like it?
Being scared all the time?
Why not be more?
Like, see if you could try to change that.
Don't you want to change that?
Psst. Emerson.
Hurry up.
You can do this. You can do this. It's fine.
Oh, wait. Wait.
Yeah. I think this could be a good spot.
Okay.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's good.
Okay.
So, how do we do this, then?
Uh, mainly, I think we have to release it
from our bodies.
From our...
From our blood.
So, I brought...
I brought this for a pinprick.
Even better.
Sugar.
I've... We have to make a circle.
Here.
To seal in our energy.
Now, we need to dig a hole,
so we can, like, connect to the elements.
It's just coyotes.
Uh, now what?
I think we have to go into a trance
by saying an incantation.
Do you know one of those?
Well, I think I could just make it up.
Ahm-dash-ka.
Ahm-mu-rush-ka.
Okay. Uh...
A-bu-re-di-ma-ka.
A-bi-dua-ka!
A-ki-roo-shi-ya!
Ai-koo-ra-foo-shwa.
Koo-koo-rak-shi-ah.
Oh-kala-shaia-wa.
Ki-nu-ra!
Koo-ra-shi-ka.
Ah-ku-ra-gra!
Mi-ka-sha!
Mi-ka...
Shit!
- Who the fuck is that? - Is it hunters?
Run! Go!
Hey. Psst.
I think they're gone.
What was this?
I don't know.
Delilah?
Where did you go?
Emerson!
Do you have your flashlight?
Yeah, yeah.
Delilah?
Delilah, run!
Run!
Emerson?
Emerson!
I found the dark spirit.
Delilah?
Emerson?
Wake up.
You gotta go.
Em?
Did you lock the door? Are you awake?
Yeah, Mom. I'm up.
Me or Dad will be there to pick you up after school, okay?
Actually, uh, Mom,
Delilah's mom said she could drive me home.
Have you met her?
Yeah.
Hey.
I have a question.
Do you feel strange?
I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin.
That thing last night, I thought we were dead for sure.
Yeah, I know. I...
I've been thinking about it,
and maybe the two of us just isn't enough if--
We just weren't ready yet.
But next time, our dark spirit will make us stronger.
Hey.
Oh, shit.
Hey.
Why'd you make up that stuff yesterday?
- Me? - We didn't.
Oh. She's your replacement friend?
Hey, hey!
- Give that back! - No. Give me a blowjob first.
Ew! You can't say that!
- What? She's done it before. - Give that back!
Don't touch that fucking bag.
What are you doing down there?!
Oh, shit.
Come on!
I saw that, Miss Soleil!
Let's go! Let's get to class.
Come on, girls. Let's go.
Um, about what Simon said...
He says a lot of dumb stuff.
You're my friend no matter what, right?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Go away!
Abby, she saw the thing
you were talking about at assembly.
- Bullshit. - Wait. What?
That thing you saw in the woods?
Oh, yeah?
So, why didn't you say anything before, at assembly?
Because it sounds crazy.
I mean, no one believed her.
Maybe they should do it.
We were thinking if, like, we went to Pastor Carl,
but, like, together this time--
You'd probably have to die before he'd take you seriously.
It would be better if there were more of us.
Not them.
- Just in case. - They'll ruin it.
Ruin what?
When did you see it?
Oh, just Abby did.
But Abby always tells the truth, so it got me thinking
about what they said when they found Rebecca's body,
how it was so torn up
that it was, like, beyond recognizable.
And there were cougar tracks around her body,
but that doesn't make sense, because I think it was--
It wasn't a fucking cougar.
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Obviously, it was a monster.
Oh, shit.
What the fuck?
Ugh.
What did this?
Maybe it's hunters, looking for pieces of her.
Rebecca.
Ugh.
Emerson!
- Like, bleed into it? - Yes. Bleed into it.
You might have to squeeze a little bit.
Okay, okay. That's good. I got some on me.
Yeah. You're good.
- Now what? - Taste.
It's in the blood.
Oh.
Oh, my God. This is so stupid.
This is... This is some sort of devil worship.
Explain to them what the spirit is.
Uh, yeah, okay.
Well, it's like you called out this part of you.
It's innate, so it's always been in you, but hidden.
- Yeah, okay. - Listen.
She knows stuff.
Okay. Sorry.
Now, it's free,
to make you brave, strong for the monster.
So, if it comes, you won't have to hide.
You can fight.
No. I don't want to go anywhere near that thing.
Isn't, like, this meant for protection?
- Yeah. - Fighting is protection.
Duh.
Okay.
Well, how do we start feeling this brave or whatever?
Face me.
Oh, okay.
Do you want to feel it?
Um... yeah. Sure.
Ow! Stop!
Fuck!
What the hell?
Now, you do me.
Now, you two try.
Mmm. It's good.
Mm-hmm. Mmm.
We saw some bear tracks today.
What would you do if you met a bear?
Kill it with my "bear" hands.
There's actually a lot you can do with a bear.
Problem is, with a cougar, it's a little trickier,
because they like to sneak up behind you and pounce.
It's true.
That's why I always carry a knife when I'm hunting.
And, uh, how... how do you use it on them?
Stab it right in the throat.
It's suppertime.
- You want to know, right? - Yeah.
I'm teaching her survival skills.
Where? Where on the neck?
You want to get that blade as deep at it can go.
Cause a lot of pain, maybe even kill it right there.
I sure hope you don't have worms.
- Emerson? - Hey.
I hate those rabbits.
A few won't hurt.
They're going to eat the whole garden.
I should get my gun.
No. Please just sit down, honey. Eat your supper.
They're so sweet wittle bunny wabbits
eating all of your cawwots, and all of your wettuce,
and all of your woast beef?
All of it. All of it.
It's a vewy, vewy, vewy frisky wabbit.
And look. It's a vewy annoying wabbit.
- It's a very annoying wabbit. - Dad, stop. Hush.
Some wabbit fangs...
...and tickling and tickling, and then,
a little-- Ow!
Weally?
It was a sneak attack on the wabbit.
But now, the wabbit is prepared for battle.
But first, he must get to high ground and hop, and--
Whoa!
Oh, my goodness. We're breaking the house, Mom!
- We're breaking the house. - Come and sit down, please.
I'm not gonna sit down, because there's a big,
terrifying... Oh-ho-ho-ho!
The bear is chasing, chasing, chasing.
- Wabbit or bear? - Both.
Come on, kiddo. Oh, nice.
Oh, okay. Here we go. Oh, look at this.
Is that it?
Come on, kid. You got better than that, right?
Let's see how strong you are.
Go. Go, kid, go.
You're like a little wab--
Ow!
Wha... What happened?
We have got to trust
that our Creator has given us mankind,
the privilege, the ability,
to step out and command nature.
That means this mountain lion.
So, let us trust in our good men to slay that beast.
It's in your spirit, your flesh.
Build the prayer up.
- Protect us... - Jesus...
Now, send it to the Day family.
I saw a monster. I saw it.
Protect us from evil...
You may open your eyes.
Delilah?
Guess what.
Baby, she saw it. She--
Who is it?
It's no one, Gracie!
Look. I just came from church. Baby saw it.
- The monster. - For real?
I can hear you talking to somebody. Is it Frank?
- Uh, is she okay? - Delilah!
Yes, yes, yes.
But Baby?
Baby, you know, I'm, like... She's a total try hard.
Well, yeah.
You believe her?
Yeah. I mean, she was genuinely scared.
But you didn't see her. She was terrified.
But Baby?
Just think we should ask her...
to join.
She's so tight, she probably scrubs her vagina
with bleach or something.
Delilah, I'm sorry...
Honey!
I didn't mean what I said, okay?
Delilah!
Delilah?
Baby!
I didn't mean what I said!
Come back!
Hey!
Delilah?
Hey.
Let's leave this fucking town.
Let's just go.
Everywhere.
I can sing for money, and you're smart.
There's a lot of stuff you could do.
Okay?
- Will you come with? - Yeah.
Yes.
Oui!
Ow! Ow.
Do me. Do it.
Pinch, pinch.
Go on. Go.
Come on. See?
I don't even feel anything.
Try at the centre.
Try it, or I pinch you.
One or the other. Let's go.
You got it. Come on. Really do it.
It'll be fun.
Try at the centre.
See? Not a big deal.
Delilah? Delilah, come here.
Come here. Come.
It's like telepathy. We can use these.
- That's so cool. - I know.
Hopefully, they work. Hello?
Put those back. Those are my dad's.
So, when did you first see it?
The monster.
I...
At night.
But behind the house, in the shed.
But I ran away.
What were you doing in the shed?
I... I hide stuff out there sometimes.
And that's why I couldn't tell my mom,
'cause then, she'd know I sneaked food.
I'd be pretty angry
if someone told me how to eat all the time.
But you know, the dark spirit, it eats your anger.
Isn't that right, Emerson?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
Your anger, your fear, your rage.
That's what makes it strong.
I'm... I'm not angry.
I'm sure you are.
Um, yeah.
Uh, Baby? Uh, come here.
Come here. Yeah. Come. Everyone, make a circle.
You stand in the centre.
Okay. Now, really focus.
Find your rage and scream.
That's okay. Uh, it's fine.
Uh, okay. Uh, get her to the ground.
Bye-bye.
I... Is there...?
Okay, Baby.
Now, really try and concentrate
and find your rage.
Yi-ey.
Yeet-sha.
Soo-na.
Ra-ka.
Ah-sha.
Sha-ka-rai.
Okay. We're getting somewhere.
- Yeah. - Sounds like a songbird.
Ca-coo, ca-coo!
Yeah. I like that one.
- Ca-coo, ca-coo! - Yeah. I like.
How do you do it?
Ca-coo, ca-coo!
Three, two, one.
Ca-coo, ca-coo!
That's fun.
- Yes! - That's awesome.
I dig it. No. That's awesome. Okay.
- You ready? - For? Oh. Okay, okay.
Oh, my God!
- Abby! - You look badass.
That was... Okay. Well, it's now my turn.
- Baby, can I have it? - Aah!
Okay. Gimme your hand. Gimme your hands.
- Like, I want extra... - Okay.
Gimme yours. Okay. Ready?
Oh, yeah.
You look good.
Hey.
This will make you feel like your dark spirit.
What? Is that marijuana?
No. It's a cigarette.
I'm talking about the joint.
Oh... Look at this.
Have fun.
- Okay, bye. - Baby.
- Come on. - Are you sure?
Ooh.
Can I try?
Yeah. Wait, wait.
How am I supposed to be holding this?
- Like this. - Uh, okay. No.
Like, there? There, I got it. Yeah.
I don't know. Should I?
- Yeah. - Okay. Me too.
Just a little.
Oh, my God. That burns.
So, uh, where did you get it?
Frank gave it to me.
Go on.
Does it...? You're feeling powerful?
It's wonderful.
You're missing something.
What does it feel like?
Like your dark spirit's emerging.
Like having a great time.
Like you're on top of the world.
Rachel? Abby?
I saw you guys come in here.
Rachel?
Ca-coo-coo!
Stop that.
- Ca-coo-coo! - I said, stop that.
What's that on your face?
What are you guys doing hanging out with these freaks?
Come on, guys. Let's go.
Come on, guys.
Rachel?
Guys?
Ah, fuck off!
Shh.
Ca-coo-ca-coo!
Ca-coo!
Shh, shh.
One, two, three. Whoa!
Hii-ya!
I found the fireworks!
Are you scared?
No.
I'm not scared of nothing.
Hit me.
Yeah. Hit me.
All right.
Emerson!
- You're ready for that? - Do it. Do it.
Okay. Go, go, go.
If the monster came, like, now, like, right this fucking second,
what would you do?
I'd kill it! I'd kill it! I'd kill it!
- Come on, you motherfucker! - Come on!
Yeah, yeah, motherfucker!
Ah! Delilah! You're home!
Now, it's a party!
You girls should be careful
wandering around in the night, huh?
We'll protect them. We're out hunting.
You're here drinking, Frank.
"I am here drinking, Frank"?
Well, I'm just juicing up for the kill, baby.
You scared me.
Hell, we can start the fucking party!
- You belong here. - Beer!
- Delilah-- - Hey, hey, hey!
A toast.
To the beautiful Soleil women.
- And to Emerson. - And to Emerson.
Emerson. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Chug. - Chug!
- Chug. Chug. Chug! - Chug, chug, chug, chug!
Woo!
That's what I'm fucking talking about.
There you go.
All right. Okay. Shh.
When I was a kid, I could fly.
- I could. - Darling?
I just wanted to tell you that you're family, okay?
- Okay. - Yeah.
Delilah has said nothing but good things about you.
And I want you to know that you can come here anytime.
- Okay, honey? - Okay.
- Okay? - Thank you.
T'es belle!
I think I knew your daddy when I was growing up.
You just moved back here. Is that right?
Yes, sir.
Sir?
And it's a good thing you did, too,
because she would've been so lonely.
See, her and Rebecca, you were thick as thieves, huh?
Oh, they were the best friends.
- Like sisters. - Yeah.
Oh, sad.
To Rebecca.
Sweet, sweet girl, may you rest in peace.
To Rebecca.
- Rest in peace. - It's a sad day.
Oops!
Oh! She's a lightweight!
Oh!
Oh, kitten.
You look like you seen a ghost or something.
Come on. Let's go. Sing for us.
- Yes. - Come on, pop star.

Have you ever kissed anyone before?
Of course.
Plenty of times.
How many?
Delilah, I'm tired.
I'm really glad you're here.
Everything feels possible with you.
- Argh... - Carl, Carl?
I, uh... I've been thinking about this, and the thing is,
this could all just be a result of frustration.
Yes. Some, um... Yeah, we haven't caught the animal,
so some... just some kids acting out--
Are you pig-ignorant?!
Whoever did this, they cannot be from this community.
If you know something,
anything...
come forward.
For if you know but do not speak,
you will be deemed evil.
As evil as that beast!
He got it!
My boy! Joshua, my boy.
Joshy got it.
He shot that big damn cat that got that Day girl.
Joshua, he got it!
He got him! Woo-hoo!
You kill anything.
You do that. You do that!
Dad?
Oh, Emerson.
You just wander and wander and wander and wander.
Want to borrow my shirt? Are you cold?
No. No, I'm good, Dad.
I know that you told those stories because you were scared.
But I will protect you,
and I promise you...
this is our home.
We kill anything that fucks with our home.
Yeah!
We kill anything that fucks with our home, gentlemen!
- Delilah? - Come on.
They're waiting for us.
I think we should take our spirits to the cave.
I don't think it's good, what we're becoming.
Don't fucking say that.
Come on.
Delilah. They got it.
That cougar?
You think that's for real?
Come.
We set a trap with Baby to catch the monster.
Delilah. You and Rebecca?
You should've told me that you were friends.
She saw it.
Just like you.
Rebecca, she told me, and I knew.
Before she disappeared, she told me what she saw.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't have to do everything you say.
You're my best friend.
I saw you.
- What? - With that guy.
Your mom's boyfriend.
So what?
You think I'm a whore now?
Yeah? Well, you don't get it, 'cause he really likes me.
He's, like, 30, and it's weird, Delilah.
We're just--
Shut up! Shut up!
- It's not right! - Shut up!
You're just jealous 'cause I'm wanted,
and nobody wants some tit-less virgin like you.
What?
Wait, um...
Shouldn't we, like, lie down?
- Yeah. - All right.
Can you take this off?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Wait.
Baby?!
Wait. Wait.
Baby?
Shh. Wait.
Who's that?
The monster got Baby!
- It got Baby! Run! - Wait, where's Delilah?
She's still back there, but don't go! Run!
Delilah!
Hey, hey.
You okay?
Is she alive?
We were going to kill it, but we came too late.
This knife, it can't protect us.
I don't want this.
- I don't want this! - Okay, okay.
Teddy? Teddy, Teddy, Teddy.
- Teddy! - Denise!
Teddy, who is it? Babette.
No, no, no!
What is happening?! Oh, my God!
What did you do? What did you do?!
My daughter! My baby!
You know not to go out alone,
into the night.
You know that.
Yet you made yourselves vulnerable
to elements out of our control.
You all sent Babette alone
into the woods.
What were you doing?
I seen 'em.
A few days back.
I saw them all in the woods, calling out devils.
Abby?
We... We didn't mean to.
- It was a trap. - Abby, don't!
What does that mean, "It was a trap"?
- To catch the monster. - Shh. Shh.
- Abby! - I'm sorry.
Monster?
We all saw it. It wasn't just me.
What did you do?
I told them not to.
I said it was too much, but you two made her.
You were there, too!
We can explain. We were just try--
Emerson, don't tell him!
Tell me what?
We, uh--
Abby, don't.
We did something with our dark spirits.
Dark spirits?
Abby, please stop.
Who started this? Rachel?
Um, no. Um...
No. Rachel!
No. I, I-- No, no.
It was, uh, her.
Them. They made us. We didn't want to!
You snake!
No, that's not true. You were scared,
and so we invited you to do the ritual.
They're crazy! They made us eat blood.
I said I didn't want to.
- I didn't want to, either! - Stop lying!
- I'm not lying. - Abby, shut up!
It's your fault!
Calm down!
Calm down.
Was it Emerson Grimm's idea?
I think it might have been.
I, uh... I don't...
It was mine.
It was my idea. All of it.
Me and Rachel, we thought if...
if only one of us went, we could trick it.
We didn't mean for it to happen like it did.
What I cannot understand is
what you were planning to do when you caught this.
We were going to kill it.
With these dark spirits?
Carl, they're just kids. It's only make-believe.
I know. I know that.
This power you think you have, it is not real!
Did you think it was real, Abby?
- Yes. - Yes?
Help me, all of you.
Please pray for these girls.
- No! - Confess,
and you will be forgiven for your hoax.
I will release you from your sins.
No. No.
Confess and you will be forgiven.
I release you from your sins.
No, no!
We were just--
We just wanted to be brave!
We just...
We just wanted to be brave.
Yes, yes.
You have suffered, but your innocence can be restored.
What you did was wrong,
but you must confess, and you will be forgiven.
Julian.
You came to me.
You told me your daughter--
She started acting out when she met Delilah Soleil.
Dolores,
your Rebecca and Delilah were friends
around the time of her disappearance?
Delilah, Delilah.
I see now how deeply troubled you are.
If I only had seen it sooner.
The town's council and I, we believe it best
if we request your immediate placement
in a facility where you can get the care you need!
Emerson! Emerson!
Where's my mom?
Where's Gracie?
Emerson! Emerson, please.
Emerson! Emerson!
- No! Don't touch me! - Don't!
Don't touch me!
Emerson! Emerson!
Emerson, honey, you should eat something.
Delilah?
Delilah, hey.
Are you there?
Everyone was just so loud and angry at us.
I... I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
I think we should run away.
You know, we could...
We can meet up tomorrow and go down to that road
and hitch a ride, like you said we could.
Just get out of this fucking town.
I'm gonna go to the cave at dawn
to bury my dark spirit.
Could you meet me there?
I'll wait, Delilah. Okay?
Please.
Argh!
No, no, no!
No, no! Stop!
No! No!
Ah!
Emerson.
Please, Emerson.
Emerson, please, please. Get up!
Get up. Emerson, please!
