Hub is really

You've been more than
patient. A friggin' saint.

You need to cut him loose,
babe, for real this time.

I would gladly wring his
neck, but Cade needs a dad.

What Cade needs is a
positive role model.

- And you're applying?

Forget me. No, I'm-I'm
talking about you and Cade,

Hub is not a good guy.

You promised me you
wouldn't do that.

Poor kid can't get you out of
his head till you remind him

Well, then, he
needs to toughen up.

What he needs is his

[Midge] Hello?

Don't hang up. I need your help.

Halloran? How did you find me?

Well, you were smart to switch your
plates before coming to see me,

but you forgot about
your parking decal.

You're not supposed
to contact me.

There's a 1-900 number in the
manual if you have questions.

You said that my job

was to hunt demons
and send them back.

But did you ever ask
why they're coming?

Why does any inmate
bust out? To be free.

[i]So what's with the sacrifices?

As I explained, demons are just
spirits with no physical form.

[i]In order to walk the
earth, they need to...

Yeah, possess a human, I got it.

But I'm not talking about the
people that they're possessin',

I'm talking about the people
that they are sacrificing.

In weird ways, too.

That's not a thing.
Th-They don't do that.

[i]Well, they've done it.

[i]Three times.

[Benji] Mom, where are you?

Don't call here again.

[call hangs up]

[Maryanne] A demon. As
in a demon from Hell?

Yeah, I thought it was BS too,
till I saw one in the flesh.

So this means that,
like, Heaven and Hell...

Makes you think.

Yeah, that my mama shouldn't
have let me quit Bible study.

But okay, so when you supposedly
died, why would you go to Hell?

Well, that part, it's
got to be a mistake.

I have no idea.

And you're stuck in this
so-called job for how long?

Till Hell runs out of
demons, seems like, or...

Or one of 'em kills you.

Again.

Well, I wouldn't worry
too much about that.

I'm getting pretty good at it.

What I just saw was
you getting good at it?

Well, I got distracted.

By you showing up.

- It's a good thing I did.
- Yeah, well, point is:

I'm gonna hang around
here for a while,

see if I can find a
silver lining to all this.

So when you said Lucky
tried to k*ll you...

...he actually did.

Paid the Earles to do it.

But yeah, he k*lled me.

[chuckles softly]

[laughing]

Boy, I can really
pick 'em, can't I?

Oh, come on now.

Well, I went into it
with my eyes open,

I-I knew who Lucky
was, I just...

...was hopin' he could change.

That's 'cause you got
a forgivin' heart.

No.

It's 'cause if a man like
Lucky can turn his life around,

then maybe there's hope
for the rest of us.

What do you got to change?

Don't you get it?

It's because of Lucky that I
could cut back on my shifts

and start writing songs again.

And then he got us that house, and
Cade loves his new bedroom and...

sh*t. We're gonna
have to move out now.

You're writing songs again?

Solo?

I got tired of waitin' on
you to come to your senses.

I'm not saying
they're good, okay?

But it's something I love.

And nobody can make me feel
shitty about that anymore.

[soft, heartfelt music playing]

I think it's... terrific.

- Oh, what does it even matter now?
- It matters.

With demons runnin' around?

I think you and Cade
should get out of here.

Go to Nashville, like
you were planning.

I just want Cade to have
something he can work hard on

and feel good about, you know?

A-And I don't want to
stand in the way of that.

But just pick up and run away
when you're facing all this?

Protecting Cade,
that is helping me.

And it's only until I can
figure a way out of this.

And when I do,

and it's safe for
you to come home...

...maybe you can
give me a chance

to fix what I messed up.

Oh, God...

What a mess we made.

Nobody'll believe
Lucky's dealing crystal.

They don't need to.

It's just probable cause
to search his office

and find the shotgun.

Is that the g*n you
used on Pastor Ron?

Mm-hmm, if Lucky tries to take
us down with those photos,

we'll say he was with us and
we'll all go to prison together.

Well, blackmail only
works if Lucky knows.

Do you want to be
the one to tell him?

Hub set me up.

Did you hire the
Earles to k*ll him?

Oh, Lord.

Don't let Hub get
into your head, babe.

Yes or no?

No, of course not.

Maryanne, you know me.

And you know Hub. He's a liar.

So Kitty's a liar, too?

So you're not blackmailing her
to stay away from me and Cade?

Hub is not the man
you think he is, okay?

He's a m*rder*r. He...

No, Luck, he's not the
man you think he is.

I know what he is now,
and what he's had to do.

He just told me all of it.

Why do you think

that Hub didn't die
after you had him k*lled?

Those boys of yours?

They slit his throat.

What kind of person just walks
back into town after that, huh?

Or did you not even
wonder about that?

So I don't know what
you think you know,

but I'd stop f*cking
with Hub if I were you.

Oh, and Kitty wants you
to know that if you ever

try and use those photos,
she'll tip off the cops

to run that shotgun they
just found in your office.

It'll match the crime scene,
and you'll go to prison, too.

Oh, babe.

Babe, you and Cade
are the only things

that matter in my life.

You're my whole
existence, all right?

I'm trying to protect you.

Bye, Luck.

[sighs]

[exhales]

We're not going to the
station to bail Lucky out?

Lucky and I are done.

Was he actually dealing drugs?

We'll talk about it in the car.

You and your mom are
going to Nashville.

You're leaving today.

What?

Look, I'm...

sorry for what I said yesterday
about you not being ready.

Not about how good you are.

Because if it was about that,

you'd be golden.

You think?

I know.

And I get why you wanted
to keep it a secret.

But I hope you know
that from here on out,

you don't have to.

Thanks, Dad.

But is anyone going to tell
me what's really going on?

Go get your guitar.

[chuckles]

Typical.

So you'll let us know when
it's safe to come back?

You're coming back?

Did you take our son along
for a demon fight yesterday?

You are such an as*h*le.

But look after yourself.

Died in a fire down
at Stewart Hardware.

Oh. Sorry to hear.

Yeah.

So what's this about
you looking for him

an hour before he died?

Offering up fritters to Sue?

I found his patrol car ditched.

And, uh, it was weird.

Thought I'd check up on him.

It was weird.

So you find him?

- Wish I had.
- Mm.

You know why he
left his car behind?

We're checking into it.

Well, I'm gonna
check y'all later.

[indistinct radio chatter]

You'd best pray it was.
