This is where
Yes. That's what
my instruments are telling me.
We have to retrieve
the nuclear warhead...
...before they send
their rescue force.
Come on already.
Hope.
The Geiger counter's going crazy.
It's here. I found it.
I found the warhead.
Tor, what is it? What's wrong?
- Are you having a vision?
- Yes.
Somebody's watching us.
Who?
I can't tell. It's...
...blank.
Leave us alone.
It's getting late. I better go.
We have to meet tonight to plan
the attack on enemy headquarters.
Right here, 8:
35 sharp.I'll bring the lemonade.
No. It's just your brother
and my cousin.
Hey, Hope.
If Mom found out you were swimming
without a grown-up around...
If Mom found out, there'd be one less
Cade Lavelle in the world.
You won't tell my parents,
will you, Wade?
I don't know, coz.
What's it worth to you?
You guys said you were gonna
wait up for me.
"Mommy, I was so scared
in the woods all alone.
What if a snake came and bit me
in my extra-double-giant-sized butt?"
Oh, my God. It's a cottonmouth.
Where is it?
- You guys are such jerks.
- Better a jerk than a dweeb.
Dwight the dweeb,
Dwight the dweeb.
Dwight the dweeb,
Dwight the dweeb.
Dwight the dweeb.
Boys are such boys.
- The woods are full of enemy spies.
We need a password.
Adventure.
Make us ever grateful
for thy mercy, Lord.
For whosoever turneth
against thy commandments...
...shalt thou smite with pain
of the spirit and torment of the flesh.
Amen.
Blackberries are coming in
so big and ripe.
I might wanna get in
a little canning this week...
...make a nice jelly.
I love that blackberry jelly.
I know I've got some paraffin
here somewhere.
If I could just think
where it's gone to.
Gone to?
every day of the week, but the Lord's.
And you wonder where the things
I buy for you have gone to.
It's on the top shelf above the stove.
Behind the molasses
and the cornstarch.
And how do you know
where the wax is, Victoria?
Up where you can't see it,
you can't reach it...
...unless the devil showed it to you
in your visions?
- She must've seen me put it there.
- Shut your pie hole.
A year. A whole year
since last canning season...
...and you remember...
...that it's exactly...
...between the
molasses and the cornstarch.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
It just came to me.
I promise I won't do it again.
Open the door, Victoria.
Baby, when the devil's got
...who's gonna set her free
if her daddy doesn't?
Mom?
Forty-one, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46...
Hey, Faith, you wanna play jacks?
Hope, you're making me lose count.
- And people say twins think alike.
- Forty-seven, 48.
Hope, where you going?
To meet Tory. Please don't tell.
Cade...
...you wouldn't have any idea where
Hope's got herself to, would you?
She's hiding in my closet.
Some dumb game she's playing.
Oh, well, somebody has a ballet
lesson she needs to be well rested for.
And it's almost 7:30.
Faith? Did you see
the new toothbrush I bought you?
You are the best brother
in the world.
Can I go with you?
Why would you want to?
Cade and Tory sitting in a tree
I hate you.
K- l-S-S-l-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes the baby
In the baby carriage
Password?
Password?
Tory?
It's okay if you can't
remember the password.
Just come out, okay?
- Tory.
- No.
No.
- Go away.
- Run.
Tory.
In the spring before that summer...
... we used Hope's pocket knife
to cut a narrow slice in our wrists.
Solemnly we mixed our blood.
We were lucky we didn't end up
with lockjaw.
Instead we became sisters.
Ever since that terrible August,
I have missed Hope.
As I missed the part of me
that died with her.
The day my father took us away...
... a week after Hope
was put in the ground...
... I had no idea that it would be
18 years before I'd come home again.
Funny how in the pictures
there was a plant...
...right in front of that crack
in the window.
You bet you'll be right down here
to take care of it.
Thank you.
- Hi. Don't kill your favorite cousin.
- Wade, I'm so happy to see you.
I can't believe it's been three years.
I kept meaning to come
to New York and visit...
...but, you know,
I opened my own practice and all.
Just tell me that
this place is totally beautiful...
...and I am gonna be a huge success
and I'll forgive you for anything.
Yeah, it's terrific.
Just one little question.
In God's name, why?
God's name why, what?
You know perfectly well
in God's name why, what.
Make yourself useful.
This whole area's booming.
All those new families
who are dying to fill their houses...
...with high-end,
handcrafted housewares...
...that I am here to sell them.
There's a thousand cute, booming,
yuppified towns in the state.
Why here?
Why go chasing restless ghosts
and bad memories?
It turns out that restless ghosts
and bad memories...
...know their way to every town
I've ever run away to.
But I can't keep running.
I can not keep letting them win.
Well, you know, it's not just
the ghosts. You should hear the living.
You know who's opening
that new store on Main Street?
Hope Lavelle and got away with it.
Which may or may not be true.
What's true is that he's
a hundred miles up the interstate...
...and just as piss-mean as ever.
And on work furlough
for hitting that cop...
...and has to punch in every morning
or back to prison.
one morning he decides not to.
He can't hurt me now.
He can't hurt me ever again.
And that's why I came home.
Come and stay with me
until you find a place.
- I found a place. I'm renting the cabin.
- The cabin?
The leasing agents said
the Lavelles fixed it up.
- No, Tory. Not out there, where...
- Wade, it's what I need to do.
I'm not going to change my mind.
Oh, now. Now this
you are not gonna believe.
Tory, I'd like you to meet a fine local
contractor who also happens to be...
...the recently-elected mayor of
Progress, North Carolina...
...Dwight Collier.
It's good to see you, Tory.
Dwight?
You mean Dwight the dw...
Go ahead and say it.
Dweeb is a badge of honor
I wear with pride.
Hell I suffered at your cousin's hands
was the best thing that happened.
It got me running 10 miles a day.
Sneaking into the gym every night.
Doing everything to break the curse.
Ten miles a day, hell.
And look what all
that hard work got me.
That cannot be Tory Bodeen.
- You're Lissy Harlowe.
Never was the same
around here without you.
And how are your sweet old mom
and dad doing?
You know, Tory's had a long drive
and I gotta get her something to eat.
So we'll see you guys later.
Welcome home, Tory.
Tory, get that box.
Tory...
...you've gotta see this.
His belly looks like fire.
Cade. Cade, come here.
Just a sec.
