Where the Devil Hides Page #2

---

The remedy?

These rumors are running out of control.

Satan has been invited into

New Bethlehem under our watch!

Their 18th birthdays approach.

Abby,

would you just tell us where we're going?

One will emerge.

We're here.

I'm really not sure about this.

- Abby, what are you doing?

- Blending in.

We can go in there. It's forbidden.

What if Hannah's here and we turn back now?

Mary!

Come on.

Dope record, go call Guinness

This moment, let's own it,

yeah, we all in it

Let's get busy, yeah, who's with me?

All these lights and they,

oh, so pretty

Just one night to live like kids

See, I'm on fire, and this my city

Let's get busy,

come on, who's with me?

All these lights,

and they, oh, so pretty

Just one night to live like kids

See, I'm on fire, and this my city

You see, the night is on my mind

Making music is on the table,

I'm able to do the limbo

Get low and get on the Maybelline

Makeup girlies are dancing,

not on the pick up...

Hello, commune girl.

What are you doing here?

Looking for our friend.

She has reddish hair.

You met her at the lake.

I might know where we could go find her.

Wanna go take a look?

Yeah.

Let's go.

We'll check this way.

Abby.

We should go home. We need to go home.

Is that her? Is that her? Hannah.

Long time no see.

I save your life, and I don't get a hello?

Trevor. I'm surprised to see you here.

- We're not supposed to be here.

- Hey, where's your bonnet?

That doesn't bother you?

Should it?

You want to take a walk? Come on.

- Hannah?

- Hannah?

Hey.

- You want a beer?

- No.

Yeah, I'm not thirsty either.

Look at that.

It's a new moon tonight. They're all out.

The little dipper, Ursa Major.

What?

That... that's not Ursa Major.

That's Cassiopeia.

That's Ursa Major.

I should've known you'd know

more about that stuff than me.

Well, I'm not supposed to,

but my father taught me.

Well, way to impress a girl, right?

I didn't mean...

I'm not trying to impress you.

Sh*t.

Sorry, my language.

Stupid me.

You make me nervous.

I make you nervous?

Yeah.

I-I have to... I have to go.

Abby? Ruth!

Hannah?

Another of our flock has disappeared.

Abigail Beecher did not return

to her family yesterday eve.

And like the disappearance of Hannah Smith,

I believe this is the work of an evil

we have known for years.

Those of you who know of what I speak

know the mortal danger

New Bethlehem is now in.

I fear that only sin and transgression

can breach our walls,

for are we not good soldiers?

Will we not be as bold as lions?

Hey, Mary.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

What are you doing here?

Hold on a second. I need to talk to you.

I can't, not here.

Frank's missing.

Ever since the party.

Do you know anything about that?

No, I... just...

Look, sorry if I came on too strong,

but it's important.

Can I help you, young man?

Hi, I'm Trevor.

Do you two know each other?

Oh, no, I was just asking

if anyone here knew anything

about the accident last night

out on the interstate.

My dad's the sheriff, and so sometimes

I help him collect information.

I don't think they would,

but if you must inquire,

Elder Beacon handles such matters.

Okay, well, thanks,

sorry for the interruption.

Mary, you should eat.

Father, what does Elder Beacon speak of?

This evil we have feared for decades,

what is that?

He speaks of the Drommelkind.

Rebekah.

- Please?

- What is the Drommelkind?

Is that what people whisper of us?

Oh, it's just an old tale, a myth.

Please tell me.

For once, Mary and I are in agreement.

Answer the girl's question.

Thomas, will you take your

siblings upstairs, please?

- But I want to hear.

- Now.

When the six of you were born,

Elder Beacon declared

that the prophecy was being fulfilled

and a great evil would enter our world.

But there are only five of us.

Little Rose died when she was a baby,

but the remaining five of you,

you all grew up together like sisters.

And our 18th birthday,

what significance does that have?

The prophecy is that on that day,

only one would remain.

She would become the Devil's hand,

the Drommelkind.

That cannot be true.

Most certainly not.

But there is something you should know.

On the day you were born,

Elder Beacon wanted you all killed.

Not many people know this.

I would not let him.

And he's hated me ever since.

He does not hate.

He only loves and is loved.

That's because he leads with fear.

How can you be so sure it's just a myth?

It's been handed down from mouth to mouth

through generation to generation.

It's born of the occult.

It was invented by man.

Man is fallible.

The Devil exists. Does he not?

Hey there.

You okay?

It's okay.

I'm gonna let you go.

Rebekah?

I finished my chores.

May I go pick up some yarn?

You're dressed so nicely.

Thank you.

All to run errands for yarn?

Very well.

Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Mr. Maker.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

You look pretty.

What is it?

Just everything.

Hey...

hey, it's okay.

My father always sides with her.

Rebekah thinks I'm the Devil.

No, really, she thinks I'm the Devil.

You know that whole story

is totally ridiculous, right?

I mean, the Devil?

It's just crazy talk.

And I hate to say it, but I don't know

what kind of mother would talk

about her daughter like that.

She's not my mother.

She died when I was five.

I knew we had something in common.

I was seven.

You have the hands of a worker.

Some dirt under the nails, that's good.

Thanks, but it's grease, actually,

from the gas station where I work on Oak.

That's still work.

Sarah!

I found Abby and Hannah.

They've been murdered.

Father, she found Abby and Hannah!

They're dead!

Forgive me, Sarah.

- The Lord in whom we trust.

- Bless your soul, child.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

I know it is hard to see

and even harder to accept.

Our children have been violated.

I stand before you in

great pain and anguish.

We must also mourn the

loss of Tobias Maker.

He gave his life to protect his daughter.

At your command.

I commanded him nothing, Jacob Brown.

At least take your own

responsibility in this matter.

He knew that his sacrifice

could give deliverance to his daughter.

Sarah Maker, Ruth Warren, Mary Brown,

stand before the community!

You tell him, Mary.

Tell me, children.

Were you with Abigail Beecher

on the last night she

was seen in this world?

Where did you go?

- Speak!

- We were taken to a party.

There was drunkenness

and lewdness and blasphemy.

These girls have broken the covenant.

They caroused with temptation!

From now on, they must be within sight

of another member of the

flock at all times.

And there will be no further

contact with the outside.

No exceptions!

And those who work evil.

For blessed are the dead

who die unto the Lord,

for they will see the kingdom of Heaven.

Let the Lord descend upon me

and deliver me from my enemies.

Lord, strengthen me and protect me

from those who rise up against me.
