Did you see the Morgans'

Do me a favor and just, um,

Is it because somebody

[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
WOMAN: So, why are you
here, Hayden?
Why now after all this time?
Sometimes I find myself
doing things
that I don't want to do.
I have these thoughts,
these desires.
I try to quiet them,
I try and suppress them,
but I can't.
What kind of thoughts exactly?
Horrible ones.
So, what do you think
caused the change in you?
So many things.
One night I saw
this documentary
on Satanic cults,
and I was captivated.
I don't know why,
but from that moment on,
I researched everything that
I could about the religion.
I read every night.
I learned all that I could.
I became obsessed.
I couldn't stop
even if I wanted to.
And then one day,
all my anger unleashed.
All my hate, all my fury.
[WOMAN GASPING]
[WOMAN GRUNTING]
HAYDEN: In that moment,
the feeling was exhilarating.
The need was fed.
That feeling soon passed,
the need vanished.
And all that was left inside
me was fear and resentment.
But what I didn't know
is that the need would leave
the door to my soul open.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
For years, I've watched dark
thoughts play at my mind's doorsteps.
And as the darkness walked
inside of an open door,
an evil so pure came out.
[RUSTLING]

I never did find her.
A few weeks later,
I got a gig as a video assistant
to help record a seance.
But everything went haywire.
[LINE DIALING]
[LINE RINGING]
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hello.
- Mrs. Watkins,
I've assembled my team and I'm
on my way to you right now.
No, no, please don't.
Things have been fine
for the last few days.
My husband doesn't want
anyone coming over here.
He made that perfectly clear.
Mrs. Watkins.
Your daughter is in serious danger.
I found evidence that
the land your house is on
used to be used
in Satanic ceremonies.
Ever been to one of these?
Yes.
Is this shit for real?
- Yes.
- I have my doubts.
How did you get this gig?
I work in video production
at the school. Why?
It's gonna take more than
a video production class
to handle what
you're about to see.
You need to tell your husband,
and we need to do this tonight
Otherwise,
I fear that the demon is gonna
make an attempt on your daughter.
Please, just trust me,
Mrs. Watkins.
Hello?
Okay.
I'll be right there.
[DISCONNECTS]
[KISSES]
Evil's very powerful.
It'll play tricks on you.
Whatever you see,
whatever you think you see,
don't let go
of each other's hands.
What if we do?
You lose your soul
to the other side.
- And?
- And you'll bring darkness upon this realm.
So, we do as I say,
or put everybody
else at risk.
- Yes.
- You understand?
Yeah.
- Yes.
- Of course.
Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry
for having offended Thee tonight,
confess to all my sins because I dread
the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell.
But most of all because I
have offended Thee, my Lord,
who is all good and
deserving of all my love,
I firmly resolve with
the help of Thy grace,
to confess my sins,
to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.
Lord, may the living water
of your heart purify us.
May you surround us and guide
us with your loving light.
In the name of Christ,
I command you to come forward.
It's here.
I sense it.
In the name of Jesus,
I command all authority
- and I bind all the powers...
- [HEAVY FOOTSTEPS]
...and forces of the earth
and the air and nature
and fire.
- Lord, who is seated in the center of the universe.
- [MRS. WATKINS GASPS]
- I praise you for your creation...
- Stop! Stop!
- [GASPS]
- Stop, stop, stop.
- In your name, I defy...
- Make it stop!
SARA: We can't,

- MR. WATKINS: Do something!
- [MRS. WATKINS CONVULSING]

HAYDEN: I woke up and found
myself in a motel room.
I was covered in blood.
Who did this to you?
Was it me?
I don't know how I got
there or who she was.
[CRYING]
I did this to you?
The darkness that entered
my soul also had a need.
A need I haven't figured
out how to control.
I gave it a taste because
I couldn't kill on my own.
It killed for me.
That's the first night
I blacked out.
The first time
it took over.
I went out looking to kill
and awoke in a river
of blood and tears.
I feel it within me.
Breathing, moving,
laughing,
feeding off my fears.
I don't know which
way is up anymore.
But all I know
is that I've fallen
to the point of no return.

- Hello.
Hi, Daddy.
Hi, honey, what's wrong?
I didn't want to tell you because
I know you're going to lecture me.
Okay, well, I'll try
not to lecture you then.
Tell me, what happened?
I don't know.
It's been a really weird day.
Why? What happened?
Earlier this morning
I was getting coffee,
and I'm at this rest stop
and this weirdo spills his
coffee all over the ground.
At first I thought, you know,
he just burnt his tongue or something.
And then he turns
to me and says,
- Don't drink that.
- "Don't drink that. It's full of maggots."
Were there maggots?
No, he was crazy.
And then, just now,
this car pulls up behind me
with its high beams on.
Literally forces me
out of its way,
and it had a whole other
lane to go around me.
So, I moved a little
to the lane,
and then it just
started messing with me
and staying side
by side with me.
And I literally had to
slam on my brakes
- for it to get going.
- [ACCELERATING]
Did you see who it was?
No, they had black tints.
You see, this is exactly
why I didn't want you
to take this trip alone.
Come on, Daddy.
I'm really freaked out
about the whole thing
and you're not helping.
Do you mind just
staying on the phone
with me for
a little while?
Yes, of course.
And don't tell Mom.
Last thing I need
is for her to worry.
I won't.
I felt awful
leaving today.
Come on. We both know
what kind of opportunity
that this is for you.
She wouldn't have it
any other way.
I know.
Oh, my God.
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
What happened?
I just ran
over something
lying in the middle
of the road. [SOBS]
I think that
it popped my tires.
I'm calling
roadside assistance.
Stay on the phone with me.
[CRYING] Oh, my God.
What is going on?
DAD: Tell me exactly
where you are.
Um...
I'm on Route 10.
I'm about ten miles away
from Lake City.
You made it
that far already.
Didn't I ask you
to stay the speed limit?
Daddy.
Daddy, there's
somebody behind me.
Can you see who it is?
No, I can't see,
their brights are on.
Wait, Dad,
somebody's coming.
[LOW GROWLING
AND SNARLING]
Wait, Daddy.
Daddy, it's the guy from the rest stop.
Do you know him?
[CRYING] No, Daddy.
He's from the rest stop.
Honey, I'm calling
the cops right now.
Do not open that door.

[SOBBING]
I'm sorry. I'm okay.
- I'm okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Sure?
Good, 'cause I'm not.
You gave me about three heart attacks
You're learning the secrets
of wizardry at school?
It's just a book I found.
Oh, God. Nightmares.
It's not that bad.
This book is
too dark for you.
Let's just put it back
where you found it.
That's not funny, Daddy.
It wasn't meant to be.
This book is too dark for me.
- You shouldn't b reading this, get rid of this.
- No!

Did you hear the scream
you let out last night?
It was a nightmare, Dad.
Yeah, I wonder why.
I'm almost 15.

You're my little girl,

[SCOFFS]
Last night, I was
at Lou's Bar
and I ran into
one of my old clients.
Alone, Celine?
Yes, I know,
but I knew him from way back then,
- and I thought it was set.
- There's a fucking psycho out here.
[CELINE SIGHS]
So, what happened?
So we're in the room,
and everything is cool
until he pulls out
this razor.
And I'm like,
"What the fuck is that for?"
And this psycho told me
he wanted me to initial
his name on his penis.
I can't do
this shit anymore.
I can't, I can't [LOUDLY]
do this shit anymore.
Every time one of them
walks in the door,
we gotta wonder
if it's just another John
trying to get off,
or some fucking psycho,
sadistic asshole
who wants to
live out his fantasy.
And every time I see another
one of those girls on the news,
it's like I'm living
vicariously through her
and then Ala's face
pops in my head.
And I play out
this whole scenario
where the cops have to
come to my house,
tell my little girl that
her mommy's not coming back.
[VOICE BREAKING] And I see her
face, Celine.
She's devastated.
That little girl
loves me so much.
You know,
she's the only reason
I was able to
overcome my past,
and I'm gonna make
damn sure that I'm there
to provide for her.

WOMAN: So, why are you
here, Hayden?
Why now after all this time?
Sometimes I find myself
doing things
that I don't want to do.
I have these thoughts,
these desires.
I try to quiet them,
I try and suppress them,
but I can't.
What kind of thoughts exactly?
Horrible ones.
So, what do you think
caused the change in you?
So many things.
One night I saw
this documentary
on Satanic cults,
and I was captivated.
I don't know why,
but from that moment on,
I researched everything that
I could about the religion.
I read every night.
I learned all that I could.
I became obsessed.
I couldn't stop
even if I wanted to.
And then one day,
all my anger unleashed.
All my hate, all my fury.
[WOMAN GASPING]
[WOMAN GRUNTING]
HAYDEN: In that moment,
the feeling was exhilarating.
The need was fed.
That feeling soon passed,
the need vanished.
And all that was left inside
me was fear and resentment.
But what I didn't know
is that the need would leave
the door to my soul open.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
For years, I've watched dark
thoughts play at my mind's doorsteps.
And as the darkness walked
inside of an open door,
an evil so pure came out.

- Hello.

I've assembled my team and I'm

No, no, please don't.
Things have been fine
for the last few days.
My husband doesn't want
anyone coming over here.
He made that perfectly clear.
Mrs. Watkins.
Your daughter is in serious danger.
I found evidence that
the land your house is on
used to be used
in Satanic ceremonies.
Ever been to one of these?
Yes.
Is this shit for real?
- Yes.
- I have my doubts.
How did you get this gig?
I work in video production
at the school. Why?
It's gonna take more than
a video production class
to handle what
you're about to see.
You need to tell your husband,
and we need to do this tonight
Otherwise,
I fear that the demon is gonna
make an attempt on your daughter.
Please, just trust me,
Mrs. Watkins.
Hello?
Okay.
I'll be right there.
[DISCONNECTS]

Evil's very powerful.
It'll play tricks on you.
Whatever you see,
whatever you think you see,
don't let go
of each other's hands.
What if we do?
You lose your soul
to the other side.
- And?
- And you'll bring darkness upon this realm.
So, we do as I say,
or put everybody
else at risk.
- Yes.
- You understand?
Yeah.
- Yes.
- Of course.
Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry
for having offended Thee tonight,
confess to all my sins because I dread
the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell.
But most of all because I
have offended Thee, my Lord,
who is all good and
deserving of all my love,
I firmly resolve with
the help of Thy grace,
to confess my sins,
to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.
Lord, may the living water
of your heart purify us.
May you surround us and guide
us with your loving light.
In the name of Christ,
I command you to come forward.

The darkness that entered
my soul also had a need.
A need I haven't figured
out how to control.
I gave it a taste because
I couldn't kill on my own.
It killed for me.
That's the first night
I blacked out.
The first time
it took over.
I went out looking to kill
and awoke in a river
of blood and tears.
I feel it within me.
Breathing, moving,

Hi, Daddy.
Hi, honey, what's wrong?
I didn't want to tell you because
I know you're going to lecture me.
Okay, well, I'll try
not to lecture you then.
Tell me, what happened?
I don't know.
It's been a really weird day.
Why? What happened?
Earlier this morning
I was getting coffee,
and I'm at this rest stop
and this weirdo spills his
coffee all over the ground.
At first I thought, you know,
he just burnt his tongue or something.
And then he turns
to me and says,
- Don't drink that.
- "Don't drink that. It's full of maggots."
Were there maggots?
No, he was crazy.
And then, just now,
this car pulls up behind me
with its high beams on.
Literally forces me
out of its way,
and it had a whole other
lane to go around me.
So, I moved a little
to the lane,
and then it just
started messing with me
and staying side
by side with me.
And I literally had to
slam on my brakes
- for it to get going.
- [ACCELERATING]
Did you see who it was?
No, they had black tints.
You see, this is exactly
why I didn't want you
to take this trip alone.
Come on, Daddy.
I'm really freaked out
about the whole thing
and you're not helping.
Do you mind just
staying on the phone
with me for
a little while?
Yes, of course.
And don't tell Mom.
Last thing I need
is for her to worry.
I won't.
I felt awful
leaving today.
Come on. We both know
what kind of opportunity
that this is for you.
She wouldn't have it
any other way.
I know.
Oh, my God.

So we're in the room,
and everything is cool
until he pulls out

And I'm like,
"What the fuck is that for?"
And this psycho told me
he wanted me to initial
his name on his penis.
I can't do
this shit anymore.
I can't, I can't [LOUDLY]

Every time one of them
walks in the door,
we gotta wonder
if it's just another John
trying to get off,
or some fucking psycho,
sadistic asshole
who wants to
live out his fantasy.
And every time I see another
one of those girls on the news,
it's like I'm living
vicariously through her
and then Ala's face
pops in my head.
And I play out
this whole scenario
where the cops have to
come to my house,
tell my little girl that
her mommy's not coming back.
[VOICE BREAKING] And I see her
face, Celine.
She's devastated.
