And in this case there were two.
Um, sweetie...
I had left my bag in the car and it's got some documents I need.
- If you want me to leave, just ask. - Okay.
And now you can't sell it which is why the price is so low.
Next showings at eleven, got 'em lined up all day.
Folks love a bargain.
After all, what are we talking about here?
A sweet little old lady who accidentally fell down the stairs...
and her dear old hubby who couldn't stand to live without her.
Sad, indeed...

(EERIE WHISPERS)
(INTENSE MUSIC)

I've got one just like that.
A flying V.
You got a red Flying V?
I want a Gibson Flying V like Kirk Hammett from Metallica uses.
He is my favorite guitar hero. I asked Mom and Dad to get one for my birthday...
but you know, Gibsons are really expensive so I'm getting a little cheaper...
Excuse me.
- Can I help you? - Mmm.
I need to come home now.
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
This is Mommy and Daddy's house.
They're dead.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry about what happened with your parents.
But you don't live here anymore.
Okay. It's time for you to leave.
They won't let me play it loud.
- I need to play it loud. - You need to leave, now.
- ZOOEY: Dad. - Jess... Jesse.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
You need to leave before I call the police.
Alright, that's it, I'm calling the police.
I'm calling 'em right now.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
ZOOEY: You were mean.
You say, "treat everyone like the way you want to be treated."
You didn't do that.
What?
Well, the poor guy, obviously has something wrong with him...
and his parents did just die in our house.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
We've come to the place...
where we joke about the idea of the devil.
With the horns, and the tail, and all that.
But that is Satan's lie...
to distract us from the reality of who He is.
He is no mask in a Halloween store.
He's not what you see in the movies.
He is an active, violent, anti-God personal reality.
And as much as we refuse to admit it, He lives through us.
He uses us to carry out His unspeakable deeds.
For we are His pawns, we are His demons on Earth...
we satiate His hunger.
If you have the slightest bit of greed, in your heart...
He will turn it into an avalanche.
He will slither into your soul.

Oh, my God. Dad.
I said I wanted a Flying V and he's given me his.
And a Marshall, Dad, he's given me his Marshall...
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Dad.
I can keep 'em, right?
Please. Please.
No. I can't let you keep this guitar.
Hey. Hey.
I'm getting you a guitar and an amp for your birthday. Come on. (SCOFFS)
Not a Flying V, and a Marshall.

I was painting.
I thought that I was in there for five minutes.
And I stepped outside and the sun had gone down and I panicked.
I didn't think that I was in there for so long.
I just... I completely got lost in it.
- Don't do it again. - I won't.
- Swear. - I swear.

Can we please be friends again? Please?
Are you gonna let me keep the guitar and amp?

Throughout the ages, in all the various religions of man...
there is one constant.
The personality of the being we call Satan.
In Samaria, He was Baal.
In Egypt, Set.
In Persia, Orin.
In China, He was chief of the warlock, called Wu.
There is always the dark God.
The fallen God.
There's always Satan.

This... this is our daughter on fire.
- She can never see this. - Okay, well, then destroy it.
I can't.
Why?
Because it isn't finished yet.

ASTRID: Mm-hmm.
- Still the same locks? - Yeah.
Then there's every chance that he has a key...
which means you need to change them locks.
Okay.
And I think it's best if you folks move into a motel. Even just for a few days.
Give us some time to run the prints and take a real good look into this guy.
I'll be stationed outside all night until you're up and out in the morning.
So don't you worry.

What this is, Jesse, is a show of faith.
But I'm willing to take that chance.
Because your latest work is...
wonderfully disturbing.
Fucking painting nearly killed me.
Le sang de la terre.
- I'm sorry. - The blood of the Earth.
The world's oldest unblended cognac.
That's what we've been sharing.
Beside the moment of course.
Now that you're being represented by Belial.
It's time for you to start getting used to nice things.
Uh, Leonard...
I'd love to sit here and drink this whole bottle with you right now...
really, I would, but I gotta pick my daughter up.
I'm sure your daughter won't mind if you're one or two minutes late.
I'm already pushing it.
What's a few minutes in the grander scheme?
Actually, it's everything.
I'm not gonna get into it right now, just trust me.

When he was twelve, he did the same thing to a 9-year-old girl.
Hit her over the head with a rock and then he tried to bury her.
Case went to juvenile court and he ended up in state psychiatric for 20 years.
Does it say in there...
why he did it?
"I have to feed Him children.
Because children are His candy."
He goes on to clarify who "He" is...
none other than Satan himself.

Thanks for your patience.
How's she doing?
Like I was telling Jesse here.
I think the best course of action is to put you into witness protection.
