in the world, Dr Jessup.

I'd like to ask you a few questions,

if that's alright with you.

I would first like to ask you a question.

Yes?

Do you hold that doctorate

in the name of science or God?

Why do you ask?

That thing around your neck.

Mmm.

I'd-I'd like to consider myself

a doctor of science...

...but a woman of God.

There's something I'd like to show you.

November 18, 1994.

Does that mean anything to you?

Get away from me.

Do you know what happened that day?

Get away.

What happened that day?

What do you know about that day?

Get away from me.

Wes.

GET AWAY FROM ME!

David?

Are you alright?

He was here.

Who? Who was here?

Where did you hear that?

I didn't hear it.

I've wrote it.

That's David's song.

Was it ever published?

No.

David made it up in the hospital

after his accident,

and he'd sing it to himself

whenever he became sad or scared.

When he was scared?

It seemed to be a sanctuary for him,

a shelter in the storm.

Is it possible that, um...

...the night he was murdered,

when he was in the woods,

is it possible that he sang this lullaby?

I pray he did.

Hello?

Hey, Dad.

I think that when Adam Saber

was a little boy,

he may have witnessed

David Bernburg's murder.

And David is an escape

from that memory. Maybe Wes is too.

Do you have a home address for Adam?

Why?

Because I wanna know what kind of life

Adam is trying to escape from.

Hey.

Hey there, buddy.

Good boy. Good boy.

Hello!

Hello?

Hey, buddy. Are you all alone?

It's alright. It's alright. I'm gonna come in.

I'm coming in. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Hello?

Oh, sh*t.

OK. OK, OK.

OK, buddy. Alright.

See if I can find anything.

Here you go. Here you go.

There. Poor thing.

Ugh.

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Hello?

Oh, God. Oh, gosh.

Mmm... Ohh...

Ohh.

Ohh.

OK.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

First dead body?

No.

We sent someone to pick up

this Adam Saber for questioning.

Sh*t! Sh*t.

Um, I-I... I forgot to pick up

my daughter. I can't stay.

You don't have to be here.

Thanks.

I got it.

Thank you.

- Did you see me?

- You did a great job, honey.

Really, Dad?

Kenna, come on, we're leaving.

I'll be there in one second.

Hello?

Detective Danton?

It's Caroline Jessup.

Hello.

Adam Saber is at my daughter's

elementary school.

You 're sure it's him?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's Brockhurst Elementary.

Alright.

At the soccer fields.

Alright, I'll...

Hi.

...send the car and I'll be there.

As soon as you can. Thanks.

Sammy!

Sammy!

You see?

Samantha!

I told you she'd be here.

No need to worry.

Samantha!

Sammy.

Samantha. Samantha.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I need you to come over here right now.

But, Mom...

Right now! Get over here!

Come on. Come on.

I want you to go and wait

with Brody's mom, OK?

Is everything alright?

How did you get here?

I'm not entirely sure.

Sammy was wonderful!

I think she's gonna make...

I want you to stay away from my family!

But you invited me.

I did no such thing.

At the hospital.

What hospital?

When you came to see me.

CC, are you alright?

What did you call me?

Little CC.

Who are you?

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Caroline, it's me.

Charles.

I thought we had a rule

about not talking to strangers.

But he knew my name.

And he just wanted to talk to me

until you got there.

What did he want to talk about?

First he wanted to know family stuff.

Yeah?

Like what we did this summer.

And my birthday.

What about your birthday?

If I liked the books he sent me.

What else?

Then he wanted to know

about God and stuff.

What did you tell him?

That I didn't believe.

Why would you say that, honey?

Because if God was real

he wouldn't have let Daddy die.

You know, I think...

...I think that God knew

how wonderful Daddy was.

And he wanted him in heaven

to make it a better place.

It's alright that I don't believe, Mommy.

Why?

Grandpa doesn't believe anymore.

So whatever happens, I'll be with him.

Here.

God loves you.

And he always will, OK?

OK.

What did you do to your back?

Don't know.

It kind of itches.

Oh.

I'll put something on it, OK?

He, Dad, it's me.

Look, I think there's a connection

between Adam and his alters.

They all seem to want to know

if you have faith.

Adam asked you, Wes asked me,

Charles asked Sammy.

Charles?

Well...

Adam came to Sammy's school

pretending to be Charles.

Caroline, Charles is dead.

What? I... Dad, I just talked to him.

He was sick, but he didn't... I mean...

Dad, I'm so sorry.

Me too.

He always had to do everything first.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

It's just a tickle.

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you too, Daddy.

Bye-bye.

I noticed a sketchbook in your room.

You like to draw, huh?

Idle hands.

Moses drowning in an unparted sea.

Mm-hm.

So, I'm seeing this, right?

The shadow's moving. It looks like

there's somebody else there, right?

Yeah, but...

But...

...you know.

But... But what?

Cara, this is... Come on, this is Dad.

He's doing what he always does.

He's messing with you.

Can you just find out what it is?

Yeah, sure.

So, uh...

What's the deal?

The deal, Mr Saber,

is a body found at your house.

Excuse me?

Male. Approximately 30-50 years of age.

You know him?

OK.

Are you a religious man, Mr Saber?

I only ask as this cross

was etched into the victim's back.

Do you recognise this?

Maybe it was burnt

or carved in, we're not sure yet.

Does this mean anything to you?

No.

Adam, do you recognise any of these?

Do you recognise them?

Does this cross mean anything to you?

Do you recognise any of these?

I said, "I don't recognise them!"

Are you deaf?!

OK. Excuse me. Excuse me, Detective.

Can I speak to you for a second?

Don't push him on this right now.

You 're not gonna get anywhere.

And I... I think I can help you

with that cross.

I've seen it somewhere before.

Yeah.

I saw markings like this in town.

I'm sorry. I didn't know who else to ask.

Dr Jessup, why are you here?

Your textbooks have failed you,

isn't that right?

Yes.

So listen.

That's why God gave us two ears

but one mouth.

There's the Devil's magic in these hills,

that some may try to tend an ailing child

or take revenge for a terrible wrongdoing.

Remember this.

Your books may have failed you,

but your God has not.

Follow on where the road ends

to the very top of the valley.

You 'll see a Holler there.

Ask for the Granny.

Excuse me?

I... I'm looking for the Granny.

It's important that I find her.

I need... I need to...

I need to find out what this is.

I-I think it's some kind of a cross.

Do you know what it is?

Do you... Do you know?

Let me see.

It's no cross.

How are you doing that?

With better eyes than yours.

Can you tell me what it means?

You won't believe. Child!

What the hell is that?

Want a soda?

Mm-mm.

You sure?

Mm-hm.

No way. No freaking way.

Ow! What are you doing?

Sorry, pal.

I need to try something.

Uncle Stephen.

What are you doing?

I gotta check something.

Arggh!

Hold him down. Hold him down!
