It's the writing of the mountains.
This... is shelter.
You have two new messages.
Dr Jessup,
this is Detective Danton.
Just wanted to let you know
there wasn't enough to hold Adam Saber
but we released him
into your father's care.
Any luck with that cross? Call me.
Next message.
Jesus, Carrie,
where the hell are you?
OK, the darkness on the video,
the thing that moves...
...it's a sound wave.
It's a voice.
Carrie, it's a fricking voice. Listen.
Reverend Christian Moore...
...shelter now the faithless!
Hear that?
Cara.
What was that?
Uh, I have no idea. But I do know
who Christian Moore is. Or was.
He was born in Burlington,
Alabama, in 1889.
He's one of those good ol' boys,
southern faith healers.
He died in... 1918.
That's all the info I got.
However, listen to this. OK.
There's some sort of historical society
in Milling Junction.
Now, there's a guy there
by the name of Monty.
He has all this information on him.
OK, I'm-I'm... I'm about 50 miles
You can be there in an hour. Go.
You alright?
My throat scratches.
Let me see what I got.
No cough medicines.
Mom says it's not good for you.
Seriously?
Honey works though.
Yeah? OK.
Uncle Stephen.
Yeah?
I think there's something on my back.
Well, my late father
made these films
That's when it came.
The influenza epidemic.
And that's when we met him.
He was a self-proclaimed faith healer
and he told the Holler folks that
they didn't need their voodoo medicine.
Just faith in the Lord.
And he had a good number of Holler folk
turn their backs on the Granny.
You see, he used, as an example,
his own two children.
They were full of health
and apparently immune
to the ravages of the disease.
And they were strange children,
as I remember. Quiet.
Turns out that their silence
was for a good reason.
The Reverend had lost his faith
and he had had his own kin inoculated
against the disease,
leaving the others to die.
That's awful.
And that's why the Holler folk
did what they did.
What was that?
My father was filming as usual
and I accompanied him.
And that's when I found them -
the Reverend's children.
They dragged the Reverend
to the Granny.
And she handed down
her own form of mountain justice
for his faithless ways.
And I can't really tell you
what happened...
...but to a child of eight...
...it sure as hell looked like that old hag
had sucked out Christian Moore's soul...
...and stuffed his gullet with dirt
so that it couldn't get back in.
And then she said something
that I... I'll never forget.
Reverend Christian Moore,
shelter now the faithless.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Doctor Jessup, it's Detective Danton.
Can you hear me?
Yeah. What... Wh-what's the matter?
I just wanna let you know
we've dispatched a squad car
to your father's location.
They'll be there in a few minutes.
I'm on my way now.
Why?! Why? What's happened?!
There's been a mistake.
Hello?
Dad?
Oh, hey, sweetie.
Dad, is Adam with you now?
Yes. The police
dropped him off a while ago.
Can he hear what I'm saying?
I shouldn't think so. He's in his room.
OK, um, Dad, I need you to leave.
Why? What's going on?
You 're in danger.
What are you talking about?
Dad, Adam Saber is dead.
Can you hear me?
Yes, but you 're not making any sense.
The body that I found - that was Adam.
Whoever's with you now
is not Adam Saber.
Well, then, who is he?
I don't know who he...
Oh, my God.
Dad...
Dad... Dad!
Dad, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Dad?
Dad, w...
Da...
Dad...
No...
Just pick up, please.
Latham Institute.
Virgil, I need you to run upstairs
and check on my dad, OK?
OK. I'll check on him. I'll put you on hold.
Dr Harding? Sh*t. Sh*t.
No! Jesus Christ!
Dr... Dr Harding...
Cara... Cara... Cara, you...
Virgil, where... where's my dad?
Something terrible's happened, Cara. I...
He's gone.
He's dead.
What?
I couldn't...
He's gone.
Wh... Wha...
Wh... What?
I'm so sorry, Cara. So sorry...
Hello?
Hi, sweetie. It's Mommy.
Can you... Can you...
Can you put your uncle on?
Mom wants to talk to you.
He's getting his car keys.
Wh-why? Where are you going?
Come on. Come on.
Sammy, are you alright?
Hey. Sammy's coughing up a storm.
She's got some rash on her back.
Her paediatrician's closed.
They said I should start
heading to General.
Cara?
Cara?
Are you there?
A doctor can't help her.
Are you out of your mind, Cara?
She needs to see a doctor.
Think about what you heard
on that video.
This man is so dangerous.
Please, you have to bring her up here.
No, you have to listen to yourself.
I'm not taking my niece
to a goddamn witchdoctor.
I'm taking her to a hospital.
Please listen to me and bring her here.
No!
Where are we going?
To the hospital. You 're gonna be fine.
Stevo! Wait.
Stay the hell away from us.
Stevo! You have no idea
what's going on here, Stevie.
Samantha Jane! Come with me!
Samantha Jane!
Go, go, go, go! Up the stairs.
Come on. In the bathroom.
In the bathroom. Go, go, go.
You 're in great danger, buckaroo.
Hey. Your freak show just showed up
in Dad's car.
Keep him away from her, OK?
Stephen, for once in your life,
will you listen to your father?!
Here.
Hi, Mommy.
Hey, baby. Hey, do whatever
OK.
Now, everything's gonna be OK
and I'm gonna stay on the phone
with you the whole time, alright?
I'm scared, Mommy.
I know. I know.
The man from the soccer field -
he's here.
I know, honey. I know. I know.
Stevo!
He's coming up the stairs.
He's in the house.
Stephen?
Samantha Jane!
Stephen, this is your father.
This is no time to be playing games,
Stephen.
Shh...
Sammy?
Samantha Jane, honey.
You gotta come with your grandpa,
Samantha Jane.
Shh.
Honey?
Please! Damn it, Stevie, open the door!
We don't have much time!
There's a very bad man coming, Stevie!
Open the door!
I can't help you if you don't
open the door to your father!
I don't care, man!
Get out of this house now!
Stevie! Stevie!
Stevie!
Ugh!
Sammy!
Arrgh!
Samantha Jane...
Sammy! Sammy! Stephen?
That was an accident, honey.
Listen to me.
You gotta come with me,
Samantha Jane.
Sammy, tell him
to put David on the phone.
David? David's not here, sweetie.
Sammy, put me...
Put me on speaker phone.
Caroline?
Put David on the f***ing phone now!
Sammy? Sam... Stephen? Stephen?
Mommy...
...he fell.
Sammy?
Can you come here and get me?
Before he wakes up. Uncle Stephen?
Are you OK?
Tell me where this witchdoctor is.
Come on. You 're fine.
I'm scared!
Don't be scared.
Buckle up.
Come on!
When I cough, it feels like
I wanna throw up, Uncle Stephen.
We're gonna see your mom
real soon, OK?
I promise.
Hey! Hey!
Mommy!
I'll carry you, baby.
Give me your hands. It's OK.
Oh, my God. Come on.
Ow! Ow, Mommy!
