Don't Kill It Page #4

---

Oh, I'm terribly sorry,

but I only have one room left.

I'm afraid you'll

have to share.

You need some help?

No, I was always pretty good

at do-it-yourself surgery.

Thank you

for what you did.

Don't thank me.

Thank him.

I don't understand.

When I got to you, I was pretty

sure he'd already killed you.

I've never seen it react that

way, the way he looked at you.

I was relieved to see

you were alive

until I realized

what that meant.

It wants me to kill it.

Yeah. It appears so.

Why?

It likes you.

Maybe it likes your body,

maybe it likes your soul.

He collects souls,

makes him more powerful.

The eyes, his eyes...

Yeah. I know.

Creepy as hell, right?

No, no. It--

in his eyes, I saw something.

There were dark clouds,

lightning.

There were people screaming.

It was terrible.

I've never been so afraid.

Now, that's unexpected.

Here, let me help you.

Let me help you.

So how long

have you been doing this?

Oh, um...

Pretty much

as long as I remember.

It was kind

of a family business.

Christmas must've been fun.

Heh.

Thanks

for the warning.

So, uh,

is there any way

to get the demon

without hurting anyone?

Well, I think you're getting

ahead of yourself.

If we don't catch

the thing then, uh,

all this thinking

will be for nothing.

Okay. Well...

You're all set.

Thank you.

Uh, I'll just change here if

you don't mind turning around.

Okay. Sure. No problem.

Look, I'm just

gonna go outside.

Where?

I'm gonna sleep in the car.

It's--

it's pretty cozy actually.

There's plenty of space on

the floor, you don't have to--

hey, Nelson.

Sorry to wake you, buddy.

Yeah. Can you run

a lineage check

for me on an Evelyn Pierce?

Yeah. Cross reference

with your list,

see if anything in

that family tree pops up.

I gotta go. Get back to me

as soon as you can, all right?

Trouble sleeping?

I spent my childhood here.

Figured I would pay a visit.

Looks like that was

a nice farm a ways back.

Why was it abandoned?

Well, supposedly,

it's cursed.

And why is that?

My parents never

told me much.

From what I hear, there

was an easter celebration

and I fell in the pool.

I hit my head on the edge

as I went in.

I think it was a few minutes

before anyone found me.

I was completely blue.

My mother, she grabbed me, and

she carried me into the house

and when

she brought me back,

I was totally fine

like nothing had happened.

I don't remember any of it,

but I do know what people say.

It's like she brought me

back from the dead.

Next thing

i do remember

is that people were throwing

rocks into our window

and we just packed up, and we

left pretty quickly after that.

Well, Evelyn, I'm sorry

to hear all that.

Everyone's got

their sob story, right?

You know what I think?

Now is an appropriate time

as any to tell you.

I was trying to figure out

why our black-eyed

friend up there liked you.

What you saw in

his eyes,

the circumstances

of your family's departure

from chicory creek,

it all points at one thing.

What is that?

Well, there's

a slim chance

that your ancestors were,

and you are--

how do I put this?

Um, uh... ahem.

Well, look, there

are demons, right?

And at the other end

of the spectrum,

there are beings that

descended from the light.

Are we talking about

f***ing angels now?

Well, you said it.

I know. Listen.

Okay. Let's call

them angels.

Well, many,

many years ago,

according to the Bible

and stuff,

these angels descended to earth,

they mated with humans.

They gave rise

to this divine bloodline.

And you're saying

I'm one of them.

What you saw in his eyes,

your mother had that ability,

birthmarks on your back--

how did you see those?

You turned around? Did you--?

There was just like

a reflection or something.

I am the furthest from angelic.

Just--

listen to me,

if I'm right,

the stakes

just got a whole lot higher.

And why is that?

Because there's a dark place,

another plane,

existing next to ours.

It's full of dark things,

bad things.

What does that have to do

with me? With my family?

If you are from that divine

bloodline I told you about,

you have the ability

to connect with those worlds.

And if the thing consumes your

soul, it will use your body.

And he'll call up

his little demon buddies,

thousands of them.

And then chicory creek

literally will be hell on earth.

Why does it need me?

Aren't there others like me?

I'm not too sure

there are any.

Listen,

i may be wrong,

but you'd better keep your

finger off that trigger.

Well, all right now,

great to see you too.

Hey, good to see you.

Hey, looking good.

Come in, have a seat.

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm just saying I think we

should have a team on standby.

Please. Please, look,

I'm really close here. Trust me.

Just give me a chance.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Everything okay?

Yeah. It's good.

Hey, hey, come on in.

Hey, good to see you.

Oh, sh*t. Uh...

I know, father, I know.

What is this all about?

It's all gonna be

explained in a minute.

Now, come on, Marty.

My congregation

are truly worried.

Okay?

Now, I saw Evelyn Pierce

in your office.

She is not to be trusted.

All right.

Why don't you

just take a seat

for your own sake.

Ladies and gentlemen, I need

to get your attention, please.

Speak up, Dunham.

I'm gonna please ask

that you don't shout.

Now, I know y'all

got a lot of questions,

and we're gonna

take those questions

just as soon

as this meeting's done.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna have to ask

that you all remain calm.

Now, it has come

to my attention

that the string of murders

earlier this week were--

are connected.

- What?

- What do you mean?

- How's that possible?

- What's next?

Quiet, now.

Calm down, now.

It appears...

Some kind of

supernatural thing afoot.

What the f***?

Eunice, that is not helping.

Now you shut up.

Now, sit down.

Y'all be quiet.

Y'all know we got

FBI working on this.

This guy's coming in...

Oh, sh*t.

...let's respect--

okay. Good evening, folks.

I'm jebediah

woodley.

That's right.

I wanna talk to you

a little bit

about what's happened

in town this past week.

I know you're all frightened,

as you should be,

but if you just cooperate and

listen to what I got to say,

everybody's

gonna be fine.

Ahem. Well, most

of you are gonna be fine.

Most of us?

Well, look. Look,

just calm down now.

I'm gonna explain it

to you.

I'm gonna explain what

happened. See, there's--

well, just hear me

out now.

We'll get a chance

to talk about this later.

I know you're

not gonna believe

some of the things

I'm about to say.

Some of you, well--

let me finish up.

I'll explain it to you.

There's something going on

in this town,

and it's kind of scary,

but some of you will

have a problem

believing what I'm

about to say now,

but I gotta tell

you something.

Well, it's kind

of a strange story.

Uh...

Oh, sh*t.

Everybody,

evacuate the premises.

Don't shoot it.

Let me shoot it.
