I warned you not to do this

F*** you, Lorelei

This isn't real

This isn't really happening

- Oh it's happening alright

Believe me...

It's happening

I'm dreaming I must be dreaming

Wake up!

Wake up, c'mon...!

Wake up...!

Till Death Do Us Part

Lorelei!

I know you're out there!

Stop hiding and show your f***ing face

You f***ing coward!

F*** you, you crazy b*tch!

You hear me? F*** you...

F*** you!

Holy f***ing sh*t!

Why are you...

I was up all night

I didn't sleep at all

Smith, what's going on?

I woke up

In the middle of the night...

And I found this IM

Telling me to go to this address

You ever heard of the New Order?

The seminal New Wave band from the 80s?

No Here, I'll show you

It's like this secret underground cult

What?

The address

It's not in my browser history

Are you sure you weren't just

Having some kinda sugar-induced nightmare?

Stella, I'm not making this up

It's gone, all of it

The site, the IMs

Stel, I'm not crazy

I was on this site

It had a list

Of all these ostracized members

Number 1 on the list was...

Her name was Rebecca Novak

Rebecca, as in the name of

The red-haired girl's twin

So why does she have a different

Last name?

I don't know

Maybe she was adopted or something

Anyway...

That Rebecca girl

she had this whole litany of transgressions

Blasphemy, sedition, treason

And her penance

Was death

And there's something else

Even weirder

On the website, they had a photo

Of the cult's leader

Like their L. Ron Hubbard

The whole thing

The Supreme One

And he looked like...

My Dad

What the f*** are you talking about

Your Dad is dead

I found this in the trash

When I was little

I always kept it a secret

The guy on the website

That's him

I know it

Oh Milo...

It hurts so good

Tight session

You were really in the zone today

I had a lot of tension to work out

- I could tell

So is there anything else

I can do for you?

Well for starters

You can get out of those f***ing clothes

Now what?

Oh I've got a few ideas

And they're absolutely Filthy

Oh oh Hold that

Hello?

- Mom?

Smith, I'm in the middle of a meeting

Can I call you right back?

It's kinda important

It's about Dad

What about him?

I just got a couple of questions

- Alright

He died when I was a baby, right?

Yeah, in a car accident

You know all this already, what's going on?

Mom, I just have to know

Is there anything you're not telling me?

No, there is not

This chapter of our life has been closed

For a long time

What was Dad's last name?

Did he go by any other aliases?

Smith, look

I'm hanging up now okay?

Stop asking questions about your father

For your own good

Mom, wait...

London?

My Dad's alive?

He got his PhD in psychology

His research focused on an obscure

Community of hippies

Devoted to this book...

An Ideal for Living

Your father spent years

studying the techniques

That leaders use to

control the group

In the early 90s,

he took the cult head for himself

How do you know all this?

My father wasn't an alcoholic

He was in the cult too

Ever since I can remember

My Dad would disappear

Then one night

When I was around 10

We never saw him again

And what does all this

Have to do with me?

You're the first-born male child

Of the Supreme One

The Chosen Son

What about you?

Did you know who I was

All this time?

So that night we met

At the party

I was following you

But only because I was hoping

You might be able to lead me to my father

But our friendship,

Everything that's happened since then

None of that was planned

You believe me, don't you?

I'm not sure what I believe in anymore

Messiah!

The end...

The end is near

Hello?

So you're saying, her body just

Vanished into thin air

It was the freakiest f***ing thing

One minute I'm checking her for a pulse...

She seems dead Cold as stone

So I run out to grab my cell to call 9-1-1

And by the time I got back

I swear it was like 10 seconds later

She's gone

I know it sounds nuttier

Than squirrel sh*t

Well, strange seems to be

The new normal lately

What about Messiah?

Did the doctors say

He was just tripping or what?

His pupils were like

Big black suns

They're running a bunch of tests

Smith?

Mom What is it, what's wrong?

I need you to drop whatever you're doing

And come home immediately

What...

What are you talking about?

I can't say anything more

They're probably listening to us

Right now

Who's listening?

Mom, are you in some kinda danger?

Maybe you should call the police

No, no police, they can't be trusted

They're part of it

Look, no more questions okay?

Just get in your car

And come home

Smith, I'm not kidding

Do it Now!

Smith, don't worry I'm sure your Mom

Will explain everything when we get there

I just can't stop thinking about

What the Messiah said

You mean all that

"End is Near" sh*t?

Stella, I have the exact same feeling

And it keeps getting progressively

More and more intense

Like...

What if this really

Is the beginning...

Of the end?

Hello

Smith, where are you?

Dude, me and Stella are driving

To L.A. for the night

Actually it's a family emergency

Is everything okay?

Hope so What's going on?

Well, I just called the hospital

The Messiah's gone

How could someone who's barely even

conscious Just up and disappear?

Nobody knows what happened to him

That's not the only thing

What?

The results of his toxicology

Report came back

They discovered traces of dioxin

in his bloodstream

Dioxin?

You mean,

Like that Russian spy dude?

Yeah The Messiah was poisoned

Are you sure

You're gonna be alright?

It's just I don't know

how my Mom's gonna

React and it might be

touchy feely family...

Don't worry about me

Just call or text whenever

The coast is clear

Thanks Stel

For everything

Smith, everything's gonna be fine

Mom?

Hello?

Smith, you alright?

Come on, let's get outta here!

Smith, hurry up!

What are you doing?

What is it?

London?

Smith, I was just about to call you

There's something really weird going on

What do you mean?

All the highest-ranking members of The

New Order seem to be heading out of town

It's a mass migration

We're heading back now

Listen

I have something major to tell you

I think my Mom's been kidnapped

What?

- She's missing and we found her Blackberry

And there's all this information on it

What kind of information?

A bunch of incriminating documents about

My Dad and the New Order

It's so much huger

Than just some sick little cult

It's like this whole secret society and

Infiltrating the media, government

Even the police are involved

But look, that's not all

My Dad had dozens of wives

Like he basically slept with

Anyone in the cult he wanted

As a result, he has all these

Illegitimate children

And he's your biological father

And you're my half-sister

London

London, are you still there?

I'm here Smith

Look, you just need to get back here

Soon...

London?

London, what's going on?

What's happening?

London...
