02x03 - Not My Job to Judge

[bunniefuu]

(coughs)

(paper rustles, tears)

Where's the doctor?

SIDNEY: I know what to do.

You pulled me from the fire,
but you're not b*rned?

I was lucky...

my hat wasn't.

Are you really who he says you are?

Anderson?

I've been called a lot
of things by his kind.

The Beast, Black Cat,

He-goat.

In that book of his,
they call me a dragon.

Which of those are you?

In this town?

No one looks at me and sees a dragon.

Maybe they're not looking hard enough.

These injuries are gonna heal.

And that pain you felt
before, inside you,

all that's gonna leave, too.

And you're gonna become a part of
something bigger than this town.

I can help.

I'm feeling better. I'm ready now.

No! When you truly heal, inside,

then together,

we'll bring our world
down on their heads.

(gasps in pain)

(distant banging)

This should do nicely.

There wasn't a single
car on the ride out.

End of the road. No
traffic, no visitors.

Those windows need to be covered up.

All this needs to be cleared
out, make room for the cots.

You can put the blankets...
put 'em over there.

(footsteps approach)

You must be Sidney.

I thought you were gonna
bring the cots in?

Well, I wanted to make sure
this is where you wanted them

before I started hauling them all in.

Sidney, Evelyn has told me about you.

It's an honor.

I didn't know this place was still here.

It's all right. Peter
knows what's happening,

what we're doing here.

As much as he needs to know.

And he's eager to join
us when it's time.

Well, good news. This
is gonna be a big job.

We need all the help we can get.

I have a job for you already, Peter.

That skylight needs to be
blacked out, right up there.

(gurgling)

I sent Kat Ogden up north.
Do you know why?

Too many people knew what
she was doing for you.

And Kat Ogden was too
devoted to her husband.

That wasn't a problem for me.

So strange,

that lurking sense of
attachment to a single person.

That isn't... a problem for me.

It certainly won't be now.

(grunting, gasping)

ANDERSON: Maybe we should go
inside and get dried off?

I'm not going back in
that g*dd*mn cabin.

Your call.

Little late for a swim...

alone...

with your clothes on.

It's exactly what it looks like, okay?

But it was a mistake.

I was trying to save myself

when you came charging to the rescue.

Ow.

Thanks, by the way.

You're welcome.

That's it? That's all you got to say?

(chuckles) Excuse me.

I thought my life-saving
heroics spoke for themselves.

I was just expecting more...
you know, judgment.

It's not my job to judge, Megan.

We all got our sh*t.

Like the good book says...

"Our troubles come in
more than one kind,

"some from ahead and some from behind."

That's not from the Bible.

That's Dr. Seuss.

It's still a damn fine book.

(sighs)

I don't imagine you smoke?

Are you sure you're okay?

No, I'm not sure about that at all.

Just yesterday, I might have
waded out there with you.

Couple of rocks in my
pockets for good measure.

Mom?

Where did you go?

KYLE: There she is.

- Amber?
- Mommy!

Hey, baby! What are you doing here?

She was worried about you.

Are you okay? You look sick.

It is just way past my bedtime.

That's what I told her.

What are you doing?

I missed you so much.

I missed you too.

Hey, let me show you something.

There is a fish in the aquarium
by the nurses's station

the exact same color as your bike.

Why don't you find it?

So you know where it is?
It's right down the hall?

Okay.

Using her to get to me?
Isn't this hard enough?

You really think I would
do that to our daughter?

Whether or not you meant to, it's not--

She ran away, Allison.
Middle of the damn night.

I found her wandering down the road.

She'd rather be here.
In this... place...

if it means being with you.

(man chuckles)

She knows what happened.

She knows you didn't do anything.

Jesus, Kyle, how is
that supposed to help?

Don't worry, honey, everything's fine,

Mommy's not possessed anymore.

Then you explain it to me. Why on earth
would you try to strangle our daughter?

It was a traumatic break. I
was in a dissociative state.

That's what these doctors tell you.

I'm protecting her.

I'm going to get my dad.

- (door opens)
- WOMAN: Kirby.

Kirby, what are you up to?

But she's alone.

Sorry, he wanders off sometimes.

It's best not to be frightened.

(Kirby chuckles)

Baby, I don't believe that something
could just break inside of you,

cause you to hurt our child.

I don't think you believe that either.

Why don't I take you
to see your parents.

Amber? Amber!

Amber.

What's wrong?

I don't like this place.

Let's go, Firefly.

(screams)

No!

No!

Another cheeseburger?

Why are you babysitting me?

Is that all you think I'm good for?
Babysitting?

Oh, of course not.

I just needed to come up for some air.

The world could have ended
and I wouldn't even know.

Well, we're trying to
keep that from happening.

And?

Kyle and I don't see eye-to-eye

on how... aggressive to
handle the situation.

Well... he's a good boy.

No matter what the town thinks of him.

But he's still a boy.

He doesn't have your instincts, honey.

And he damn sure ain't
the chief of police.

(distant honking)

(honking continues)

- Rev?
- Thank Christ you're here.

- What are you doing out here?
- I went inside, I grabbed a towel,

and she just drove off
in that junker truck.

Who drove off, Megan?

I got to the cabin after dark,

I heard some splashing in the lake

and she was out there. One-way ticket.

It's okay. I got to her in time.

She tried...?

Megan tried to k*ll herself?

She had second thoughts. We
talked about it afterwards.

Everything seemed okay. Then
she just drove off with Holly.

She say where she was going?

No, she just drove off.

(ticking)

Wipe your feet.

How does fried chicken sound for dinner?

Biscuits and gravy too?

Like we always do--

(clock ticking)

Holly...

I don't want to be here.

We belong here.

This is where our family lives.

We're not a family anymore.

Of course we are.

It's not gonna be the same. Ever.

But we're gonna be okay.

It was a terrible accident.

It wasn't an accident.

SIDNEY: You should be in bed.

I'm hungry.

He doesn't look very appetizing.

L-O-L.

Thought we were gonna f*ck this town up.
Like you did this guy.

So when are we gonna start having fun?

When you get stronger.

I'm fine.

I'm not the one hacking
up all that black sh*t.

(whimpers, coughs)

You want to have fun?

Cut him up.

What?

I need to dispose of this body.

Take that Kn*fe, cut him up.

Are you serious?

Are you?

You want to be like me?
You want to be powerful?

You want to f*ck this world

and all the pathetic creatures in it?

Yeah.

Then show me that you're strong enough,

that you're obedient enough.

Do it.

(sighs)

Get back to bed.

Chief Giles?

Chief?

Hi. I was just wondering if
there's been any update?

- We're on it.
- I know.

But John-- Reverend Anderson is out now.

You arrested him and
then you let him go?

We had no reason to hold him.

I don't understand. He-- He
looked me right in the eye

and he told me that he set fire to that
trailer out by Kyle Barnes's place.

Where that man Sidney was staying.

My son might have been in that building.

We looked all over that scene.
Aaron wasn't there.

- So you're just dropping it?
- He ran off, all right?

Now, that boy of yours been trying to get
out of your house since his old man d*ed.

It looks like he finally made it.

I'm sorry.

You know, when you became chief,
his old man didn't like it.

He told me that you raised through
the ranks too fast considering.

And I argued with him.
It cost me a black eye.

- Patricia--
- No.

Your friend confessed
and you let him go.

I think the mayor's gonna have an opinion about
how you're enforcing the law around here.

Patricia...

Come on in.

You can go wait on the swing for me.
I'll be out in a little bit.

If I'd been serious, I
would have used a g*n.

Jesus, Megan.

It was a classic cry for help, okay?

It's embarrassing. Can
we not talk about it?

You got to talk to somebody.

I've got a psych degree,
I know the drill.

How did you know I'd be here?

'Cause I know you. You don't run away.

But you can't just pretend
everything's fine.

It was a weak moment,
it won't happen again.

It won't.

What could make me do that, Kyle?
To Mark?

I loved him so much.

I know.

What do you think?

I could give you a lot of psychobabble,

but, honestly, I never...

ever thought I'd hear
myself say these words...

but maybe Anderson isn't crazy.

Maybe there is evil out there,
and it gets inside us somehow.

I just-- I can't think of anything else.

But I can promise you one thing.

It's never ever coming near me again.

I'm pregnant.

Wow.

Mm-hmm. See? I don't have any choice.

I have to be okay.

Is Aunt Megan okay?

I hope so.

She's sorry she ditched you.

I'm glad all's well.

You didn't have to stay.

I don't think there's much
more either of us can do.

Kyle, the reason I came looking
for you in the first place,

there's a young man I
was locked up with.

They took him to the hospital.

He needs your attention.

(sighs)

What's the point, Rev?

Doing this thing one at
a time isn't working.

We're not getting anywhere.

I'm thinking that boy can
give us some answers.

Maybe help us root out Sidney.

Why not turn over every stone?

Is the person sick like Mommy?

I can help.

You can't just leave them that way.

I know. Not today, okay?

You're going to go visit Grandma Lauren.

But I want to be with you.

I know you do. Go get in the car.

ANDERSON: You know, one minute, he's
just a kid pissed off with the world,

the next, he's pushing his
body through the bars,

threatening that there's no
Outcast there to help me.

We'll see what he has to say now.

KIRBY: I heard you
weren't tossed in here

like the rest of us were.

You checked in.

You make it sound like a resort.

(chuckles) You checked out the spa?

They do a k*ller sea salt body scrub.

A friend of mine worked
at a resort in Singapore.

Kept trying to get me to fly down.

Got caught selling pot to the guests.

They caned him.

You know, with an actual cane.

Whack! Whack!

Whack! Whack!

A hundred times.

Things are a little
different here, I hope.

Completely. No pot.

My friend was beaten so bad,

they had to put him in the hospital
before they could send him to prison.

They had to make him better,
so they could make him worse.

Just like you.

You don't know anything about me.

In Amber's bedroom, your eyes were open.

Pink lampshade, princesses and ponies.

You were awake before he
put you to sleep again.

Bap!

Your husband, while your hands were
around your little girl's throat.

Bap! (giggles)

Bap-bap!

ANDERSON: You should have seen him.

The shape that boy was in,

he couldn't have left here on his own.

He didn't. It was Dr. Park.

Who else could sneak him out of here?

He's got to be working with Sidney.

Where would they take him?

Somewhere where he can finish...
changing.

Like where they took Megan.

How do we find it?

Sidney can't be doing
this all on his own.

Last time he had the Ogdens.

He's using people who
have already turned.

That could be anyone.

What are you gonna do, run around
touching everyone in town?

We know one.

(humming)

Maybe if you'd been a little smarter,

you could've got the job done
right the first time, huh?

How's your threats now? Huh?

And your deeds?

Or your songs?

Yeah. Had lots of folks running scared.

Ain't nobody scared of you no more.

I'm sorry, what was that?

So you're sad 'cause you're
going back in the ground?

Well, f*ckin' A, you should be.

It's lonely down there.

You ain't gonna be alone long though.

Shut the hell up. We're done.

Spring cleaning?

Daddy gave me this book for my birthday.

I know that, honey.

And he said this headband
matched my eyes.

Holly, what are you doing?

You want to put Daddy away,
and I want him here with us.

I miss him too.

But we'll be okay in this house.

No, we won't.

Not ever.

(Mark and Holly's voices murmuring)

(murmuring voices continuing)

Okay... Is everything all right?

Do you... (clears
throat) want something?

Yeah, I'm just doing a little outreach.

Word of mouth's pretty much the only
way people find us out where we are.

Is this a church?

Oh, no, the lighthouse is a symbol.

Technically, we worship in a barn.

You don't worry about
that pissing off God?

As God sees it, the flock makes
the church, not the building.

"As God sees it." (laughs)

You have no idea how far up the
wrong tree you're barking.

is a little on the nose, but...
