humanity to betray one another

to commit sin.

As Jesus said in

1 John, chapter 3.

"Let no one be led astray.

"The one who sins

is of the devil.

"That is how we know

who the children of God are

"and who are

the children of the devil."

Jacob? Jacob,

are you okay?

Michael, what's wrong?

You're the doctor.

"Anyone...

"Anyone who does not...

"Any... Anyone who

does not know what right is...

-Is it a seizure?

-I don't know.

You have... You have to rid

yourself of the devil!

"Anyone who does not

know what is right...

Jacob!

"...is not God's child!"

We need to get

him out of here!

Go.

What's wrong with him?

I have no idea.

Put me down!

-Get the car. Get the door.

-Let go of me!

Stop it!

Jacob!

Let me see. Michael!

It's fine. Let's just go.

Father, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

What was that?

That was a warning.

Hey, it's not your fault.

You tried to save him.

You were the only one.

Look, I know you've

been trying really hard.

You have us. Isn't that

what really matters?

I'll be fine.

Hey!

Why were you watching me?

Please take a seat,

Mr. Young.

How'd you know that name?

I know a lot of things about

you, your wife, your son.

You're probably thinking

you made a mistake, right?

Are you a man

of faith, Michael?

Occasionally.

Well, when you've seen the things I

have, you realize that a crucifix

is just two

pieces of crossed wood.

Holy water,

regular H2O.

The real power

is in the devil.

What if I told you

he could be reborn?

If the right opportunity

presented itself.

Like a recently

deceased young boy?

Two loving,

desperate parents willing

to do anything to

get their son back?

Are you suggesting the devil is

responsible for bringing my son back?

I'm suggesting that

the son you got back

is the devil.

This is a mistake.

I shouldn't have come here.

So a complete stranger

pops out of nowhere

and offers to bring your

son back from the dead?

Come on.

You don't find

that a little odd?

You don't see the catch?

You think what happened at the

church this morning was an accident?

You think Jacob had

something to do with that?

As long as that boy lives...

What do you mean "lives"?

Not you, not your wife,

not anyone you care

or love will be safe.

This is my son

we're talking about.

It is not your son!

What's this?

He was barely 10-years-old

the day he chased his ball

into the middle of the street.

I ran after him,

but it was too late.

He was hit by a van.

He died instantly.

The next day, a man came

to visit his mother and I.

This is your son?

He offered us

a chance to...

To bring Jeremy back.

But it didn't take

long for me to realize

that it wasn't Jeremy.

It was something else.

He'd become something.

I don't know. I got lost.

I was struggling for

an answer. I was scared.

So I joined the church.

And the Lord...

The Lord showed me

what had to be done.

You did this?

-I did what I had to do.

-You killed your son.

No, I killed the devil

who looked like my son.

Jacob has to be stopped

at all costs, Mr. Young.

And only the boy's

father can do it.

Only you can stop Jacob

before it's too late.

You are out of your mind!

I understand what

you're going through.

It'll only get worse,

I promise you.

If Jacob matures,

God help us all.

For your coffee.

Jacob?

Jacob?

Jacob?

"Tapping at the window

And crying through the lock

"Are all the children

in their beds?

"It's past 8 o'clock"

I... I have to go. I'm sorry.

What the hell, man? Hey!

What are you doing?

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Say hi to Mom. Say hello.

-Hi, Mommy!

-Hi.

Go on, go on. Good!

What are you

doing out here?

I was...

I was just on my phone.

Can we have

pizza for dinner?

Sure, yeah.

I can't believe

he did that.

What did he say?

He just wanted to make

sure Jacob was okay.

And what did you tell him?

I don't know. I...

I mean, last night in the

room, and then the church.

You have to admit, he hasn't been

the same since he came back.

I can

hardly blame him

after everything

he's been through.

I knew things would be

different for a while,

but these last couple days...

Maybe we should take

Jacob to a specialist.

-You mean a shrink?

-No, I mean someone to talk to.

Someone who can tell us if there's,

you know, something wrong.

What happens when the specialist

figures out who he is?

Fifty people at his funeral.

We had to leave everything

-and everyone behind.

-I know.

We have a new life,

a new home.

Can't just keep running.

We promised to protect him.

I know.

I thought

you were doing better.

I thought the meetings

were helping.

What does that have

to do with anything?

You know exactly

what I'm talking about.

You weren't

exactly there for him.

Or me.

We were having trouble.

Our marriage

was falling apart.

And we're better now.

I'm better now.

But what's happening with

Jacob, this is something else.

Jacob, honey?

How long have you

been standing there?

Daddy?

Why did you kill me?

Don't.

How's he doing

this morning?

Better.

We're going to the park later.

You want to come?

I think I'm gonna hit up

a couple temp agencies.

-Mind if I take the car?

-No.

I could use the fresh air.

Go get 'em.

I will.

Bye, Jacob.

How come Daddy didn't come?

He had an interview.

Is he getting a job?

I certainly hope so.

Can we get a cat?

No, honey.

How come?

Your father's allergic.

You know that.

Can we get one

when Daddy dies?

Mrs. Field.

You go ahead and play.

Mommy will be right there.

-Okay.

-I'll hold that.

How'd you find us?

Don't be alarmed.

I just wanted to see

how things were coming along.

What a fine,

young, handsome boy.

So innocent.

Pure.

My husband's

concerned about him.

Thinks we should take him

to see a specialist.

What do you think?

He's a seven-year-old boy.

Moved to a new home,

a strange new town.

I'd be alarmed if he wasn't

feeling a little awkward.

Well, Jacob's

an extraordinary child.

As with many

extraordinary children,

you'll find that some people take

an unusual interest in them.

You mean hurt him?

You have to remember,

Rachel, Jacob is a miracle.

He needs your love and devotion

if he's to live a normal life.

Promise me you'll

continue to protect him.

-Of course.

-At all costs.

Even from those

who are close to him.

I promise.

I'm gonna give

you an address.

If things become difficult, you

and Jacob will always be welcome.

Jacob? Jacob?

Jacob?

-Hey, what do you think you're doing?

-I was waiting.

Why don't you go back

to where you came from?

-Yeah, we don't want you here.

-Get lost.

Leave me alone.

That's right, go home

to Mommy and cry.

What's going on?

Is he doing that?

You've

got to be kidding me.

What the hell is

going on out there?

We were just kidding.

We didn't mean it.

-I think we better get out of here.

-Let's go.

Can anybody hear me?

Hello?

Please!

Somebody, help me!

Open! Please!

Somebody, help me!

Go, go, go.

Run home.
