For as much as it hath pleased Almighty God,
of his great mercy, to take unto himself the soul
of our dear brother, here departed,
we, therefore, commit his body to the ground.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life,
through our Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
You think it's my fault, don't you?
It's no one's fault. It was an accident.
There was no sign of forced entry,
he was alone and the doors were locked.
I know he didn't kill himself. He was scared.
He came out of that room with her, Mike, and he was scared.
He said she threatened him.
Emily, you're in shock, let's not get carried away.
Diego, he said it was a man on the phone.
There was no one else in the house.
Do you think I don't know how crazy this sounds?
Kid in that state of mind is not the most reliable witness.
But why was he in that state of mind? Why was Doug?
Pull my phone records. See if she called him.
I already did, Emily. There was no call.
So, you're saying that you've seen this before,
someone just dying like that?
Truly? I'm shocked every day by the violence people do to themselves.
Her mom and dad had deadbolts on their bedroom door, big ones.
Something came through that door, and whatever it was,
they didn't want it ever coming through there again.
- Hey guys, come on, are you ready? - Yeah.
- Let's get to it? - Yeah.
Take me through the conversation, Margaret, about the oven.
Eddie said, "We're gonna burn her", and I said, "Okay".
So it was Edward's idea?
Just the oven part, we both wanted her dead.
Why did you say that it was God's will that you should kill your daughter?
- Why is that funny, Margaret? - 'Cause she's not my daughter.
You think your daughter is the devil? Evil incarnate?
I don't care what you call it.
But you have stated that she kills people?
Not by her own hand, they just die.
I had two brothers,
Eddie had three sisters.
Soon as she was born, they just started dying.
Me and Eddie, I guess,
she couldn't get rid of us until she found somebody else.
The nurse on duty heard screaming,
found Mrs Sullivan on the floor clawing at her own skin,
absolutely convinced she was on fire.
In no condition for visitors as you can see.
If you'd like, I can let you see Mr Sullivan.
Okay.
I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now,
but you're the only one that I can talk to.
Who died?
- A friend. - You're scared.
You ought to be.
Is she...
- What is she? - I can tell you what she's not.
She's not a daughter of mine. She's not a 10-year-old having trouble in school.
And she's not some innocent victim whose door you busted down
and life you saved.
She's not going anywhere soon, lady.
Not till she's good and done with you.
- Done with me how? - However she wants.
You think it's an accident her ending up with you?
She saw you coming a mile away.
Why me? I don't have anything.
You have that you're good. Kindness. Decency. That's what she feeds on.
Bleeds you dry, moves on to the next. We were a big family,
she went through us like a wrecking ball.
It's like she sees everything.
And what she doesn't see, she senses.
Like when you call a friend and they pick it up before it rings?
They say when you're born you're given your eternal soul.
The part of you that lives on, lives again.
Whatever evil she is, didn't come from us.
It was already there.
From the moment she came into being, she brought something with her.
Something older, destructive.
Soul of a demon.
What does she want?
To know what your idea of hell is
and make you live there.
- Hi. - Hi.
You weren't there so I took the bus.
Sorry, work, I lost track of time.
It's okay, I know how busy you are.
Doesn't matter anyway, the bus stops right at the end of the street.
So I can always get home, whether you're there or not.
Lucky.
Where's the phone?
It wasn't working, so...
Wow. That one, too.
We had gym today. I'm gonna have a shower.
- Are they being nice to her? - Who?
My mother.
How would I know that?
I thought you said you were going to see her.
I never said that.
I must have dreamt it.
- Nancy. - Emily.
I'm so sorry about Doug. I know you two were close.
Do you have a minute?
I was just wondering if you've had any luck finding a place for Lilith?
Still looking. You know, more kids than homes right now.
So, how long you think we're talking here? Like...
Honestly, she's not my first priority.
She's in a safe environment with someone who understands her needs.
Nancy,
if there's anything that you could do to expedite
- the process... - Are you serious?
Emily, you petitioned for custody, you got it.
She's your responsibility. Make it work.
How? How do I make it work if it's not working?
With the same coping skills you teach these moms and dads every week!
Walk the talk, Emily! Walk the talk!
See you next time. Good work.

Why is she hurting...
Hey, wait a minute. Who do you think you are, barging in there like that?
It's okay, Diane, Emily's been under a lot of stress lately,
but she's really nice to me and I hope I can stay with her a long time.
Don't ever do that again.
See you next week, Diane.
Don't worry, it was all a misunderstanding.
- You're not going back there. - Why, Emily?
Why, Emily? Why, Emily? Why, Emily? Why, Emily? Why, Emily?
Why, Emily?
Can I go back to group next week?
You're never going back there!
Are you sure?
No. No.
- I know. - You were terrific back there.
Really enjoyed the service, Father. Thanks.
- Mike. - Emily.
They are not crazy, Mike. Her parents.
They're right about her.
You want to wind up where they are? Keep talking like this.
Emily, you're grieving for Doug
and you're still confused about what Diego did.
- Aren't you? - Diego grew up in a bad home,
he saw violence, he repeated it, that's the cycle.
- You know that better than anyone. - Why did she lie about calling him?
Because she's a liar, but that doesn't mean she made him do it.
Let me tell you what Lily is.
She's a damaged child, she's a deceitful child,
she's a manipulative child.
But a damaged, deceitful, manipulative child is not a demon.
You think I'm crazy.
You believe in there. But out here it's all just bullshit?
Mike, you know I'm not crazy.
Don't run away from this just because it scares you.
I'll tell you what is scaring me is not recognising my friend.
- Get some help. Seriously. - Mike...
I don't want to report you.
Good night.
Mrs Lynch, I told you that...
Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I'm just making this up?
- That's not what you said. I'm not stupid. - Yeah, no.
You never said anything about unsupervised visits.
No, that is not what I said.
You said if my husband got help, then my son could come home.
- I did not. No. - Nothing between the lines there.
You never said that...
Who do you think you are telling me how to raise my son?
- Mrs Lynch... - You know nothing about me.
You know nothing about my son. You know nothing about my family.
Will you please let me respond?
How I raise my child is none of your business.
Would you let... Would you...
How my son and his father relate is none of your business.
Shut the fuck up, you miserable, miserable woman
before I come and beat your ass like you beat your son!
I have your address!
Think about that before you call and swear at me!
Okay, so, you're certainly in no state of mind to be here right now.
Come on, it's late, you look like shit, go home.
I don't want to go home.
Hello?
It's for you.
Emily Jenkins.
You shouldn't leave me home alone, Emily.
Wayne?
There you are. I made supper.
Don't ignore me. My mother used to ignore me.
Emily? Can I come in?
I'm scared.
Emily? Please? I know you're in there.
Please, Emily?
Let me in, let me in.
Let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in,
let me in, let me in, let me in.
Leave me alone.
Please, help me.
Please! No, please open the door?
Open the door, she's coming!
- Drive. - There's nobody out there.
- Drive! - There is nobody out there. Look.
There's nobody out there.
It's okay.
Leaving the child unattended is a jailable offence.
You have to do what I say.
If I say I want to go to group, you have to do it.
If I say I want a new dress, you have to do it.
If I say I want ice cream every day, after school,
you have to do it, okay?
Don't be sad. This is your new beginning.
Emily.
I tried to call you. Good news, we found a home for Lily.
Family in Cloverfield. Really good people.
They're picking her up Friday, after school.
What's the matter? They're perfect.
- If they take her... - The whole thing starts all over again.
You can't let her go, you can't let her stay.
Leaves you one option.
- I can't. - You have to.
- You don't understand. - Don't tell me I don't understand.
You've had her, what, two months? I had her 10 years.
We had her 10 years.
- Think of it as a test of faith. - I don't wanna have any faith.
How about anger? You got some of that?
- How? How do I... - Kill her?
In her asleep.
That's the only time you got the upper hand, is when she's sleeping,
but she almost never does.
We checked on her room, every night for three months.
First night she slept was the night that you busted in our front door.
And I'll tell you what I'd do different, count yourself dead at the outset.
Accept that going in, use it to your advantage.
If you're not afraid, she can't hurt you.
No money, no way to contact her.
Must have went 80 on the way back, straight through,
didn't stop for nothing.
When we got home, she was waiting for us on the doorstep.
Where is she now? Some family, somewhere?
Eddie said, "We're gonna burn her", and I said, "Okay".
They did what I said for a while, but then they stopped
and started with the secrets.
But they weren't really secrets, I guess,
because I always knew what they were thinking.
- Don't leave me. - It's okay, Maggie. I'll check on you later.
I'm glad you're getting the help you need, Daddy.
Get somebody down here now.
- Somebody call it in. - Base, this is Sanchez.
We're gonna need medical personnel right away to the cafeteria...
- Edward Sullivan... - I know.
Something I want you to hear.
This came in this morning, right about 2:00 a.m.
You might wanna sit.
...decide what to do with you and your family, Michael.
Every time I think about it, a voice in my head says, "Kill them."
Who is this?
Just a little girl.
- Up past her bedtime. - Lilith?
You were right. She did call Doug. She used your cell phone.
Took me a couple of extra days to check your cell phone records,
but that's what she's been using.
- She's tearing me apart. - You're not crazy, Emily. This is real.
Edward said I have to kill her.
I'll help you.
Keep her at the house.
Physically you're fine. How's the stress?
I'm not sleeping.
I was hoping you could give me something.
Take one of these, you'll sleep.
Lily?
What?
Oh, my God.
Who is this?
Emily, it's Wayne,
I just got a call, Mike's dead.
- No, he's... - Listen, Em.
They think he shot himself.
- Emily? Em? - No...
Emily? Emily, are you okay?
Get out of my house!
Don't yell at me!
Emily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
Can I come in so we can talk and work it out?
Emily?
Stay away from me!
Don't be mad. I said I was sorry. I'll brush your hair for you.
Stay away from me!

No! No. No.
Emily. Emily.
We need to learn healthier ways of resolving conflict, Emily.
Most families don't even know they have a problem
until it's too late.
What are you doing, you silly pumpkinhead?
You don't want me to come under there and get you, do you?
- No. - I'm going to count to three.
- One, two... - No.
Two and a half, two and three quarters,
three. Here I come.
- No! What do you want? - What you wanted from your mother.
I want you to love me.
Okay. I will.
Come tuck me in.
Oh, my God.
Emily.
Chamomile.
Maybe you should have it, you look stressed.
I'll have one later.
I'm really sorry that I let things get like this.
- We'll do better from now on. - We have to.
Someone could get hurt.
What should we do tomorrow?
- Surprise me. - I'm not so good at surprises.
You're getting better.
Everybody get out okay?
Ma'am, anyone else inside? Yes or no?
That was mean.
You follow us downtown, we'll find someplace for you to stay.
Miss? You okay?
I'm fine.
Maybe we can find a hotel with a swimming pool.
- Where are we going? - You said I should surprise you.
She hated herself.
And she hated you.
They said it was an accident, but you knew it wasn't.
Your mother.
That's why you never had any kids of your own.
That's what you're afraid of, isn't it?
The part of you that's her.
What are you?
- Slow down! - What the hell are you?
You're upset, you shouldn't be driving.
Mom.
Mom, slow down, you're scaring me.
Mom! Slow down, please!
Look out!
- It's not real. - Yes, it is!
It's not real!
Are you scared?
I'm not.
I'm not afraid.
Just die!
No! No!
No!
