The Body (2026) s01e07 Episode Script

["Crying In The Chapel"
by Elvis Presley playing]
You saw me crying in the chapel ♪
The tears I shed were tears of joy ♪
-I know the meaning of contentment ♪
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
-Now I'm happy with the Lord ♪
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
[Katie] Thank God we never
have to do that lift again. Oh my gosh.
[Claire] Bitch, we literally
have to do it again for Nationals.
Hey, um, has anyone heard from Maddie?
Uh, yeah. Her mom said
she might be going in
for emergency ankle surgery.
Wait, does that mean
that she wasn't healed?
No, of course she was healed. You saw her.
She just, like,
she re-hurt her ankle when she fell.
Or, like, when she saw Grace.
Yeah. I don't know. I swear I saw her
limping when we were all at Applebee's.
-[Olivia] I didn't see her limp.
-I wish Grace would heal my cramps.
[girls continue indistinctly]
[Claire] She always looks good in…
[Anya giggling]
-["Crying In The Chapel" continues]
-[Amy] Guys?
L… Look.
-[Claire] Isn't that Grace's house?
-[Katie] What the fuck is going on?
-[Bailey] Whoa.
-[Brit] Wait, what?
-[Olivia] I just hope she's okay.
-[Katie] Ow!
-[Coach Miller] Grace.
-Is that Coach?
-Who are those people?
-And why are they in front of her house?
-What the…
-Thank God her baby's cute.
[Amy] Are they praying?
Ooh, ooh ♪
Just to sing and praise the Lord ♪
-[song fades]
-[chatter in the background]
[Michael] These motherfuckers
are gonna destroy the lawn.
I don't think Sam realizes
how badly he screwed us with this shit.
-[Theresa] Well, I'd say he has some idea.
-I'm calling the fucking cops.
-Have you talked to him?
-Yeah.
He called to check in on Grace
since he's not allowed to visit.
You know damn well the minute he rocks up,
everyone out there's gonna start
losing their shit all over again.
What do they even want?
-Just let us touch her.
-No.
[Michael taps on window]
That guy is not touching her.
I'm leaving the monitor.
I'll see her in the morning.
[Theresa] Thank you for coming, Aidan.
We really weren't expecting
to be tunneled in like this.
-[Aidan] It's all a bit unsettling.
-Um… Do not get me started.
-[Theresa] Please. We'll see you tomorrow.
-[woman] Hi, Doc.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[joyful choral music playing]
[man] Why can't we just go in?
[brakes squeaking]
[Catherine singing] ♪…the light of God ♪
We are marching, marching ♪
Lizzie, I swear I didn't tell her.
We are marching… ♪
Good, you're back,
my lying, sinning, slut of a daughter.
We're going home.
We are marching
Good, you're back, we're going home ♪
Start packing up.
-What are you--
-It's only about eight hours.
I told you I knew
we never shoulda come here.
Well, I'm not going back
to West Virginia. Mom!
-[Catherine] The hell you aren't!
-I have friends here.
Don't you know
this whole place has been making me sick.
Oh, that's what's making you sick?
You look like a prostitute.
Not to mention this whole town's
gone lost their damn minds.
I ain't got time to worry about
false prophets like Grace Franklin
luring my children into sexual perversion
and exotic dancing for money.
It's a dance team, Mom.
We're not strippers.
If you wear the garments of a whore,
it means you've got the spirit
of whorin' in you. Keep packing!
-[Leo] Yes, ma'am.
-No, Leo. Don't pack.
-Okay.
-[Catherine] Excuse me?
-The hell do you think you're doing?
-[Lisbeth] I'm leaving.
[Catherine] Oh! You'll get
back here, Miss Thang!
You walk out that door,
you ain't coming back through it.
[breathes heavily]
[crows cawing faintly]
-[breathing heavily, scoffs]
-[tense music playing]
Leo, get back to packing.
That girl is gone.
[Catherine speaking indistinctly]
[emotional music playing]
[whispers] I wanna kiss you so bad.
-[enchanting choral singing]
-Okay, then kiss me.
Fuck.
[chuckles softly]
[Elise] So, it's cheating if you kiss me,
but it's not cheating if I go like this?
[Anya] No.
[Elise] Okay, what about that?
It's just a massage.
No.
[door creaks open]
-[Anya sighs shakily] Who is that?
-[music fades]
[door closes]
-I don't know. It's your house.
-Shit!
-[ominous music playing]
-Hey.
[door closes]
[Melanie] Look who I found
cycling up the driveway. [sighs]
My mom kicked me out.
[ominous choral singing]
Is it okay if I stay with you
for a few days?
[Melanie] Course you can.
[Elise] Oh my God, go away.
Um…
Can I talk to you for a second, please?
[music stops]
Do you want a green juice?
Fucking Olivia can't take her?
-Anybody else?
-Shh!
-I can't kick her out. I can't.
-Oh my God.
-Why are you scared of her?
-Because she's fucking scary!
[whispers] Dude, she has so much on us.
I don't know what she's capable of,
so you need to be fucking nice to her.
'Cause she knows about Grace taking drugs?
Yes.
Fuck, I dunno. I feel like
that's gonna come out eventually.
No. Elise, I'm telling you right now.
I can't.
[whispers] Grace isn't getting any better.
This is really serious.
[washing machine whirring]
Okay, well if you look at it this way,
then, like,
if we get locked up,
then you can be, like, my prison wife.
[Elise chuckles softly]
Not funny.
I wasn't trying to be funny.
I was trying to be sexy, but okay.
You're the one who said she was dangerous.
Yeah, that's true but she weighs, like,
two fucking pounds. I'll beat her ass.
-[Melanie] Anya!
-[Anya sighs]
Come show Lisbeth to her room.
Fuck.
[mouthful] You need to put that bitch
in her place, okay?
Or she'll blackmail you
into making her our third.
[washing machine chiming]
[vacuum cleaner droning]
[unsettling choral music playing]
[choral singing continues]
[music fades]
So I'm not sleeping with you?
Well, I just figured you probably want
some privacy since it might be a few days.
How was last night at the motel?
Did you sleep?
Yeah.
Yeah, I slept…
slept really well, actually.
I was just worried you might be,
like, a little freaked out
by the whole
Maddie-possessed-by Grace thing.
Well, I mean, like,
Maddie's eating stuff has just been
making her nutty for a while now, so…
We should chill on that stuff anyways.
It's just gotten way out of hand.
Yeah.
[Anya clears throat]
[inhales sharply] Look, obviously
something happened with you and Elise.
I mean, we stopped fighting.
Wait, you want me
to be mad at her forever?
-She literally tried to kill me.
-You don't actually think that, though?
Well, someone did it.
Lisbeth, we keep the sleeping bags
in the garage.
The snake probably got in by itself.
Did she say something to you?
Like, about my family?
'Cause I'm happy
to just tell you myself right now.
I was raised in a church
called Signs Following.
It's really small. They, like,
take the Bible really literally.
My father was a pastor, so we were, like,
pretty high up.
It's illegal to practice
outside West Virginia.
That's why I don't talk about it.
I told the Mission we were Catholic
so we could get a house here,
so that we could get the fuck away
from those people.
Okay, and I know I lied,
but I'm not trying to hurt anyone.
Why is it illegal?
People get hurt.
My dad got bit by a rattlesnake in church
as, like, part of the worship.
And my parents didn't believe
in medical intervention, so we just, like…
laid hands.
Prayed.
My mom said that if I was a real believer,
he would have lived, so…
God, I'm really sorry.
Um… [clears throat]
I should… should probably let you
get settled in and everything,
but just let me know
if you need anything, yeah?
Okay.
[door closes]
[joyful choral singing]
-[car engine revving]
-[wind whistling]
[choral singing continues]
[chewing]
[inaudible conversations]
[choral singing continues]
[loud popping]
[water splashing]
[choral singing continues]
[vacuum whirring]
[metal clinks]
[music swells]
[cooing]
[music stops]
-[breathing heavily]
-[chatter in the background]
Hey! Give this back to Anya, will you?
I'm quitting the team.
-What?
-Why?
Grace told me I'm not meant to be a Lion.
[locker doors rattling]
If I were you, I'd leave too.
Save yourselves.
[laughter in the background]
[school bell ringing]
[phone keys clicking]
[Leo] Are we allowed
to have drinks in here?
[Father] Uh…
-No.
-Mm.
Um…
What else? Um…
Oh!
My mom wants to leave town
because of everything
that's going on with Grace.
-I've been having really weird dreams.
-[clears throat]
Basically, in the dream, like, Elise ha…
still had her same face,
but it was attached to my…
my mother's body.
And she was… [hesitating]
Well, she was…
Father, she was breastfeeding me, and…
[spluttering] Like you would breastfeed
a baby. Um…
I just… I don't really know
what that one means 'cause…
[Maddie] Mind if I cut?
My confession's pretty important.
Uh, ye… Sure.
-[Maddie] Like, yeah.
-Um, Father, I'll be right back.
-[Father] You got it.
-[Maddie] Bye.
[Father] Name of the Father,
Son, and the Holy Spirit.
[exhales]
[bell tolling]
[Steven whispers] Leo. Psst.
Hey. Buddy, how are you?
[hesitates] Okay.
Good. I've just got a… a quick question.
Um… [clears throat]
So you saw me and Grace
at Halloween, right?
What exactly were we doing?
You…
You don't remember?
No, no. I don't remember.
Oh, hey. Uh, s… sorry. Excuse me.
I was… I'm gonna go in there next.
[whispers] Can you
just tell me what happened?
Well, pretty sure you called Grace hot.
But… [sighs]
You could've been referring
to her being hot physically.
-Like, temperature-wise.
-Huh?
You put your hand on her face like this,
and I think you said she might have,
like, a fever or something.
-What? No, what, like… like she was sick?
-Maybe.
["I Am a Pilgrim" by Fern Jones
playing on earphones]
[song stops]
Grace has shown me the path,
the path of truth,
and now I must walk only in truth.
I quit the dance team. [breathing shakily]
[Maddie continues breathing shakily]
Is that what you'd like to confess?
No.
On Halloween, the Lions held
a ritual sacrifice at Devil's House.
We took ecstasy
and sacrificed Grace's soul
to win Regionals.
[unsettling choral singing]
And it worked. We did win.
Just like the devil promised.
-Oh, um… Well, we got third place, but…
-[music pauses]
For Regionals, it's a win
'cause you qualify for Nationals,
so that's really c… cool, um… Anyway.
-[sighs]
-[choral singing resumes]
When we performed,
Grace came to me in a vision,
and she told me it wasn't enough
that we tried to break the pact.
It can only be reversed by all of us
confessing the truth before God.
And once we've done that,
that's when she'll wake up.
-[sighs]
-[music pauses]
D… Did you say ecstasy?
Yes.
-[thudding]
-Jesus Christ.
[clattering]
Oh, um…
-If you want, I can do some, Our Fathers--
-I absolve you from your sins.
In the name of the Father,
Son, Holy Spirit.
-[Maddie whispers] Thank you.
-Oh God, help me.
[Anya moaning] Oh God, fuck me!
[Anya gasping]
[opera aria "Lakmé, Act I:
Flower Duet" playing]
Oh my God, I'm gonna come.
[moans]
[school bell ringing]
[opera aria continues]
-[Anya moans, gasps]
-[faucets squeaking]
[panting] Oh fuck, oh God.
[Anya chuckles]
[thudding]
[opera aria continues]
[thudding continues]
[music fades]
I dunno if Anya picked up
the silent auction items.
-She still hasn't texted me back.
-Isn't Maddie planning the fundraiser?
-Maddie quit.
-[Claire] Like, quit the team? Why?
Because we're agents of sin.
She told me she feels more kinship
with Grace's new followers
than she ever did with the Lions.
No, well, now I gotta plan
the fucking debutante ball in 24 hours.
[Olivia] Did any of you guys go past
Grace's house this morning?
It's really special.
I think Maddie might be right.
[Katie] Has anybody seen Anya or Elise?
[clock ticking]
Okay, ladies. Up, up. Grab your pussies.
Grab my pussy? Girl, what?
[Lisbeth] Get your asses up!
We don't have time to waste.
-[Blair] Our captains aren't here.
-[Lisbeth] We'll run it three times.
And then I'll give you a break, maybe.
-[door opens]
-[Anya giggles]
Sorry, guys. We were studying.
It's okay. I was running it, so…
[Anya] Know what? We should stretch today.
We've been going really hard,
and we could use a breather.
So, everyone partner up.
[Katie] Who the fuck thought
I was right for this job?
I'm not crafty.
Does anybody know how to make a banner?
Miss Christmas Elf
wants to tell us all what to do.
-[school bell ringing]
-You can come over Thursday to Sunday.
No. There's too many people at your place.
It's chaos. Nobody's gonna hear you
when you're loud.
-I'm not loud.
-You're loud.
Quiet. Hey, baby.
[Steven] Hey.
[chatter in the background]
I'll text you. El?
-El?
-Yeah.
[locker doors closing, opening]
So you and Elise kissed and made up, huh?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're fine.
[boy 1 laughing in the background]
[boy 2] Grace can't cure
being gay, faggot.
-[boy 1] Yo, move.
-[boy 3] Hey, sorry, sorry.
You okay?
-[unsettling music playing]
-Yeah. Why?
-I don't know. You just went somewhere.
-Good.
[Steven clears throat]
[sighs] Late for class.
-Did I do something?
-No.
Okay. Well, I'll see you tonight, yeah?
Eight o'clock?
[unsettling music continues]
[somber choral singing]
[phone ringing]
[Sister] St. Mark's School.
How may I help you?
Pupils brisk, plus three,
equal and reactive to light.
-[flashlight clicks]
-[monitor beeping]
[music fades]
Pulse present, plus two.
Pedal pulse is also present.
[echoing] No reaction to stimulus.
Pupils brisk. Chest is clear.
[pen clicking]
Goes without saying,
-we'd be able to get a clearer picture…
-[water splashing softly]
…if Grace were in a hospital.
There's no real playbook here.
Every patient is different,
but after two weeks…
[back to a normal tone]
…we'd hope to see some signs
she's moving in the right direction.
Unfortunately, we aren't seeing
any significant changes
in Grace's neural activity.
[clock ticking faintly]
At this point, I'd suggest starting
to think about specialty care options.
Specialty care options
for what?
She's going to require continuous care.
And the longer this goes on,
the more complex
and demanding that care will become.
Theresa's been teaching me.
We can handle all that.
That's not a problem.
[Aidan] I don't doubt you.
[Michael] Mm.
I know how hard you're both working,
but this isn't something most families
can manage on their own long-term.
[chuckles] L… Long-term?
[Michael scoffs]
You just said you didn't know anything.
I mean, none of you
ever fucking know anything,
and now you're telling me
that this is gonna be
the rest of her fucking life?
[chuckles]
That what you're saying?
[Aidan] It's--
Why are you just sitting there
like you agree with this shit?
I'm sorry. Maybe we should discuss this
in private.
No, no, no, no. Do… Do…
Do not apologize to him.
No, he needs to apologize to us.
They need to apologize to us.
Look, just… just tell us
what we haven't tried yet, okay?
[spluttering] There has to be some more
tests or experimental treatments.
Or, I mean, I…
I've been reading a whole bunch…
Wh… What about music therapy,
or wh… whatever the fuck it's called?
I mean, I… I read that music
is more effective at stimulating the brain
than any other treatment. So…
[hesitates, scoffs]
I mean, even…
even your Eastern medicine shit.
I mean, the… the herbs and shit.
We… We could try that. We could try that.
We are not putting our daughter
in a goddamn hospital.
We are not putting our daughter
in a goddamn home.
[phone ringing]
[keyboard clacking]
[mouse clicking]
[knocking on door]
My mom wanted me to give you this.
For Grace.
[Father] Great. Thank you.
-The bishop keeps calling.
-[phone ringing]
He's wondering why
you're not answering your phone.
[Father sighs]
I'll get it.
Your Excellency.
[bishop] Damn it, Sam.
What the hell is your problem?
[chuckles] It's good
to hear your voice, sir.
Cut the crap.
Why have you been ignoring my calls?
[Father] No, I wasn't ignoring
your calls, sir.
Well, you were,
and actually, you should have been.
Because when I heard about
your little miracle summit the other day,
I actually contemplated
the cardinal sin of murder.
Yeah, I know. I, uh… I apologize for that.
I… I underestimated
the impact of my comments,
and… and… and I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, don't apologize.
You're a dumbass, but the response
has been better than I could've expected.
[knocking on door]
-Tithing is through the roof.
-Can I be excused from gym?
-[quietly] Go to the nurse.
-Tell me.
These healings,
they gotta be life or death?
Or can Grace handle,
you know, high blood pressure?
-Are you asking for yourself, sir?
-[phone beeps]
That's none of your business.
Anyway, eventually we're gonna have
to figure out how to babysit this thing.
But in the interim,
keep up the enthusiasm over there.
I mean, if we could verify
these miracles… [chuckles]
Sir, I have reason to believe
that we need to be cautious.
-Reason?
-Yes, sir.
What reason?
-I heard something in confession today--
-[knocking on door]
Is now a bad time?
-And we should--
-[chuckles] Sam, shut up.
You trying to lose your collar?
Sam, listen to me.
You've done a good thing here.
Ooh.
-Now just keep the lights on and let God…
-[Katie] May I?
[Father] You got it. Yes, sir.
A… A student just came in,
so I'm gonna have to call you back.
Thank you. All right.
Sorry, I just need your signature
for the Lions' fundraiser for Nationals.
Great. Of course.
Oh.
Debutante ball. Was that your idea?
What do you think?
Doesn't Maddie usually handle
the fundraisers?
Yeah, but Maddie quit.
-[unsettling music playing]
-She quit? Why?
I don't know. Inner peace.
Huh.
Didn't you guys just hold tryouts
to replace her?
-On Halloween, right?
-[music swells]
Yep.
We did.
Uh, it's just the two lines at the bottom.
Why Halloween? Was there a…
a celebration of some sort?
J… Just as soon as we could get
all the girls together.
So, the team didn't do anything, uh…
[unsettling music continues]
No, just we… I mean, yeah, no, we…
We just slept over at Maddie's.
Yeah.
-You gonna sign? Or…
-Oh.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
-[music stops]
-[Tyler] Yo, is Elise coming tonight?
-[pop music playing faintly]
-She's not responding to me.
You know,
she's always playing hard to get.
-But like, bro…
-[phone ringing]
-Lately there's nothing to get. [sighs]
-[Steven] Yeah.
[Tyler] Wonder if she found
another shawty?
Shit!
Hey, uh, Mr. Franklin.
-[Michael] Steven, hey. How are you?
-I--
I wanted to ask you. You know,
you still haven't come to visit Gracie.
Wh… Why don't you stop by tonight?
Uh, yeah, tonight's no good. I have plans.
You know, I was serious
about your voice waking her up.
Lot of doctors think familiar voices
can increase brain activity. I… I…
We got to try everything we can
right now, man.
I think it'll mean a lot to her
if you came.
Uh, yeah, yeah. Uh…
How about I come by
after school tomorrow, maybe?
Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
I think Maddie's coming by then too.
-Okay, bye.
-Great. Bye.
[in singsong] Hurricanes all night, baby.
You good?
[glass scrapes the shelf]
[pop music continues playing faintly]
I think I found, uh, Grace's necklace
in the back of my truck.
When was Grace in your truck?
I don't… I don't know.
Okay.
Maybe you guys got a little freaky
at the party. That's okay.
No, no. Listen, I…
I talked to that Leo kid,
and apparently… [inhales]
…when I was with her,
she already had a fever.
So, if Grace was sick
and then she got in my car,
I mean, what happened after that?
[spluttering] What did we do?
Steven, Steven, stop, okay? Chill.
First of all, I know you, okay?
Even in your most inebriated state,
you're almost disturbingly gentlemanly.
You're a good guy. What?
You… You've got a good heart.
[whispers] You're not a rapist.
I know I didn't rape her.
I'm a good person.
What if I did something else?
I mean, what if
-I got too fucked up and can't remember…
-[door opens]
…and that's the reason
why Grace's in a coma?
[Tyler whispers] Stop fucking talking.
[bag rustling]
[Steven] I love these chicharillos.
They're… They're so…
[Tyler] Ch… Chicharrones.
-[Steven] Chicharrones?
-[car horn blares]
[car doors closing]
Okay.
Brother to brother…
Yeah? [sniffs]
In their eyes,
you're already guilty.
Wh… Who?
Bitch, the United States of America, okay?
Your innocence means nothing
when the prison industrial complex
needs to feed.
[Tyler sighs]
I don't know wh… what exactly you're--
Steven, Steven, we cannot have anything
to do with this, okay?
You need to lock this the fuck down.
Turn your phone off.
Throw that necklace away.
This conversation never happened.
Okay? Give it to me.
[necklace jingles]
You didn't even see it, okay?
-Of course.
-Mm.
[car engine starts]
[necklace clinks]
[phone buzzing]
-[Elise] God.
-[chimes]
-[phone buzzing]
-Don't answer it. It's just Katie.
She's saying it's urgent,
but it's 'cause she's mad
about the fucking debutante ball.
[phone continues buzzing]
[whispers] I want us
to sleep naked tonight.
[whispers] Aren't the boys
coming over, though?
Yeah.
What's your plan with Steven?
What do you mean?
I mean, you said
you were gonna talk to him
Uh… I don't really know
what I'm supposed to say to him.
So you guys are not breaking up
any time soon?
[quietly] Um… No, I don't…
Why? Do you want us to?
I don't know.
Break up and do what, dude?
I don't know.
[Elise sighs]
You just say a lot of stuff.
What kinda stuff?
Like, you want me to sleep over every day.
And you're, like,
"I want you to touch me,"
and "Let's sleep naked."
All that stuff.
That's confusing.
I don't really know what to say to you.
Please don't be sad.
Please.
Can we just not do this yet?
Can we just pretend?
-Like, for tonight?
-[sobbing] What are you talking about?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want?
[voice breaking] I just wanna kiss you.
[sobbing softly]
I want you to let me kiss you.
[melancholy choral singing]
-[knocking on door]
-[Melanie] Anya, the boys are here.
[Anya sighs deeply]
Fuck. Can you just hang back
for, like, three minutes, okay?
[Elise sighs]
[door opens, closes]
[Michael] You are fucking funny.
You know that?
[Theresa] What does that mean?
-[Michael] Pardon?
-[Theresa] You need to calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down
when you're talking about putting
our daughter in a goddamn hospice.
[Theresa] No one said hospice.
I'm trying to be practical.
[Michael] Fuck being practical.
How about you try being a mom?
[Theresa] You're such a fucking asshole.
[melancholy choral singing continues]
[lighter clicks]
[water splashing gently]
[scraping]
[Melanie] Oh, honey, that's not dinner.
[plate scraping]
-[cutlery clatters]
-Have you heard from your mom yet?
[chatter in the background]
Not gonna join the festivities?
I wasn't invited, so… [scoffs]
[plate scraping]
Do you think Anya's mad at me?
It just feels like
she doesn't really want me around.
[glass clinks]
[wine pouring]
-Here you go. That's a Butler pour.
-[glass sliding]
Get that down you. [giggles quietly]
Let's have a little girls' chat, shall we?
[music fades]
[phone ringing]
[dog barking in the distance]
-[phone continues ringing]
-[exhales, sighs]
[ringing continues]
[beeps]
[Theresa] I've been calling you all day.
Where are you?
[sighs] I… I'm home.
-Sorry. It's just been a long day.
-[somber, ominous music playing]
There's fucking candles
all over my front yard.
These people really think
she's performing miracles.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Grace's doctor started talking
about quality of life.
-[Theresa] Michael's losing it.
-[guitar strumming]
He's getting… I don't know.
-He thinks he can wake her up.
-[guitar strumming continues]
Sam, he needs you.
I need you.
-We should all be together right now.
-[sniffles]
[exhales] Theresa, I'm sorry.
I gotta call you back.
-[phone beeps]
-[sighs]
[somber, ominous music continues]
[keys jingle]
-[phone buzzing]
-[bottle clinks]
-[clattering]
-[Tyler] Fuck.
-[blows]
-[phone buzzing]
[ominous choral singing]
-[clattering]
-[glass clinks]
-[scoffs, chuckles]
-[glass rolls]
Whoo!
[Elise scoffs] Fucking asshole.
Sorry, did I make you horny?
I mean, get you wet?
[laughs]
Elise, get in.
I don't wanna get my hair wet.
[ominous choral singing continues]
All right.
-What's wrong with you? Are you okay?
-Stop asking me that. I'm fine.
[Tyler] Hey. Are you horny?
[Elise] No.
Are you breaking up with me?
Tyler, I'm not breaking up with you
'cause you're not my boyfriend.
[Tyler] Oh my God.
Papi, move over.
I'm getting in the floatie.
[water splashing]
[ominous choral singing continues]
[Father] Bless me, Father, I'm struggling.
I learned something in confession
that could help save the life
of someone I love.
But if I speak,
I break the vow that I swore to God
and everything my vocation rests on.
[priest] A man can leave the priesthood,
but breaking the seal,
that wounds the soul.
You must find a way to bear this.
-[ominous choral singing continues]
-[man speaking indistinctly on TV]
[Catherine speaking indistinctly]
[paper rustling]
-Gabriel, don't blow that trumpet!
-[paper cutting]
Gabriel, don't blow that trumpet.
Don’t… [unintelligible].
-[paper rustling]
-[clapping on TV]
[Catherine continues indistinctly]
I ain't sleeping, no, sir.
I got my eyes on God.
[music swells]
Spirit, keep these eyes open.
[paper rustling]
[Catherine mumbling]
[paper rustling]
[crowd cheering, clapping on TV]
-[crowd screaming on TV]
-Oh, holy name of Jesus.
Lord!
[newscaster] U.S. forces now control
the city of Fallujah. What has not been--
The Apprentice finished at number one.
If this mutation happens,
it will kill millions of people.
[remote clicks]
[man 1] There is rampant
biblical confusion
in evangelical churches
across the country.
-[man 2] It's an epidemic.
-That's it right there.
[man 2] People speaking to God.
-There ain't no God but God.
-Mm-hmm.
Worship anybody else,
you might be worshiping the Antichrist.
Listen, he knows how to hide.
You gotta know how to spot him.
Might be looking like
that pretty girl next door.
[phone ringing]
[Catherine speaking indistinctly]
[ringing continues]
-[phone ringing]
-[music fades]
Hello?
[Maddie] Hi, um… Is this Leo Anderson?
Yes.
This is Maddie Delaney.
Oh. Um… Hi, Maddie.
Um, I was just wondering.
Have you gone by Grace's house yet?
Uh… No. No, not yet.
Just 'cause… Like,
I told my mom I wouldn't
'cause she's kinda, like, freaking out
about people worshiping someone
other than Jesus.
I mean, tons of people have done miracles
who aren't Jesus.
They're just, like, super close to God.
It's kinda like asking the saints for help
in our prayers.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true, actually.
So, I guess
you wouldn't wanna go sometime?
Like… together?
Yeah.
I… I mean, 'cause you were kinda,
like, Grace's first apostle, right?
-[ethereal music playing]
-What?
Sorry, I just meant, like…
You knew Grace was special
before anyone else.
Oh! Uh… [laughs] Yeah. I mean…
Ye… Yeah.
[whispers] That's superhot.
[doorbell rings]
-Father Franklin.
-[Father] Hey, Ms. Delaney.
I'm sorry it's so late.
Is it okay if I speak with Maddie?
-Uh, yes. Come in.
-Thank you.
[Ms. Delaney] Maddie?
[Maddie] Oh, wait one sec. Yeah, Mom?
[Ms. Delaney] Father Franklin
is here to see you.
Oh, um… Sorry, Leo. I have to go.
[line disconnects]
-[music fades]
-[crickets chirping]
[bell tolling in the distance]
I thought I couldn't get in trouble
for confession.
But, no, you're not in trouble.
Um…
Technically,
I can't refer to anything
that was said in confession
unless the penitent decides
that they wanna do the right thing
and expand on what was said in confession.
Father, are you drunk?
[clock ticking faintly]
-No.
-You just smelled a little like alcohol.
I had one drink.
[somber music playing]
Maddie,
sometimes silence in the witness of sin
is worse than the sin itself.
And in the case of the burden of the seal,
there are times when my duty to God
keeps me from doing
what I might otherwise believe is right.
I've sworn a vow,
so when I sit across from someone
and I hear something that begs for action,
I can't do anything.
Not even if someone's dying.
[gasps quietly] What?
[music distorting slightly]
[sobbing] Is Grace dying?
-[music swells]
-[Maddie crying]
[Maddie sniffles]
[Father] Maddie…
[inhales deeply]
Would you like to invite me
to talk about this with you?
-[music swells]
-[rhythmic ticking]
[ticking swells]
Yes.
[knocking on window]
[music slows]
-[Steven coughs]
-[Tyler whistles]
-What I tell you?
-[Elise] Fuck.
-Secret hot.
-Mm.
-[Tyler] Like she from the islands.
-[glass squeaking]
Your mom got her. She got her good.
[Tyler] She's got a type of face that
you don't find anymore in this generation.
Like, from the Renaissance period.
-[door opens]
-[Lisbeth giggling]
[tipsy] Hi, sluts.
-[Lisbeth laughs]
-[soft, somber music playing]
Do you even recognize me?
[giggles]
[Tyler] Hello, Lisbeth.
You know, um, I'm freshly single,
and I don't want to get into
the nitty-gritty,
but looking for someone
to mend my broken heart.
-[water sloshing]
-[Lisbeth chuckles]
[Lisbeth] Okay.
[water splashing]
Well, I hope that
your dick's not broken too.
-[scoffs]
-[coughs]
Anya,
you look so sad.
-What?
-We should've left.
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughs] Your life is so good.
You have everything that
anybody could ever want,
and your… your mom loves you so much.
My mom?
Yeah. [hiccupping]
She told me… She told me that
you've always been scared to be alone.
Anya.
Anya, that's crazy to me.
Like, I always thought that
someone like you would never be alone.
[chuckles]
'Cause you're… you're so, so, so talented,
and you have…
You're, like… [chuckles] …really rich.
-And, like, you have all these friends.
-[water sloshing]
And, like, you have… [hiccupping] …Steven.
You have Steven. Steven… [grunts]
[Steven] Mm.
Is there kinda anything Anya
could ever even do to make you hate her?
[pulsating music playing]
Um, no.
Like, if she did something really bad?
Is there anything that you could…
Anya could ever do
even to make you hate her?
[pulsating music building]
Like… Like, if she… if she did something
really, really, really, really, really…
[hiccupping] …really bad,
and it made everyone else
in her life hate her…
Do you think
that you would still love her?
[water splashing]
[music swells]
I dunno. Maybe.
Because I would. I would still love her.
I… I would still love you, Anya.
I would still…
I would never…
[grunting, moaning]
You guys should make out.
-What the fuck is wrong with you?
-[clapping]
[clapping continues]
[pulsating music continues]
I have an idea.
Let's chicken fight.
-Lizzie, you and me. Let's do it.
-[chuckles]
-We're gonna have so much fun.
-[Lisbeth] I have chickens.
-[cackling]
-[Elise] You have chickens?
[Anya] El, be nice.
-[Elise] No, what?
-[Tyler continues cackling]
[water sloshing]
-[Tyler groaning]
-[water splashing]
[sighs] Oh God.
[Tyler] Oh yeah, Lisbeth!
Let's fucking go! We got this shit.
Come on, you and me, baby.
-[chuckles] Yeah!
-[Tyler] Yeah. Saddle up.
Yeah, come on, Stevie.
Don't be a chicken. Be a slut!
[water sloshing]
-[Tyler] We're sluts?
-[Lisbeth] Yeah. Come on, El.
Let's go. Okay.
We're gonna fight. It's a clean fight.
-[Tyler] Let's go, Lizzie.
-Three, two, one, fight!
[slapping]
-[Tyler] Oh! Damn!
-[Steven chuckling]
[pulsating music continues]
[slapping]
[Steven] Oh fuck!
-Chill!
-[slapping]
-[Anya] Oh my God!
-[Tyler] Come on!
-[Elise and Lisbeth grunting]
-[Steven] Uh!
-[Tyler] Chill!
-[Elise] Ow!
-[Anya exclaims]
-[Steven grunts]
Stop! Oh my God. Guys, guys, holy shit!
-[Elise] Ow!
-[Tyler] Guys. No biting!
[Lisbeth panting]
-[Elise yells]
-[Tyler exclaims]
-[water bubbles]
-[pulsating music building]
-[Lisbeth exclaims]
-[water splashing]
-[Tyler] Elise!
-Holy fuck! Elise! Oh my God, stop!
[water splashing, bubbling]
[Lisbeth screams]
[water splashing]
-[Tyler] Hey, hey! You… no!
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Lisbeth choking, screaming]
-[water splashing]
-[Anya] Stop!
-[Elise gasps, laughs]
-[panting]
[Steven] You won. You won!
-[Elise squealing]
-You won! You won. Oh jeez.
[ridiculing] Oh, you look
like a fucking rat with makeup on.
[Tyler] Let's go.
-[pulsating music continues]
-[water splashing]
-[Steven sighs]
-[Tyler grunts]
[water dripping]
[Tyler] Where's she…
[door closes]
-[door lock clicks]
-[Anya] Lisbeth.
[continues knocking]
Lisbeth.
-Lisbeth? Hey, can you let me in?
-What the fuck?
-What?
-She attacked me.
-Yeah, 'cause you fucking hurt her.
-She hurt me!
Yeah, 'cause you started it, El.
Wh… What was she saying?
You did something really bad.
What did you do?
I don't know. She's fucking wasted.
-Let's go.
-Let's ask her.
-Stop.
-Ooh, let's ask her.
-I'm actually not fucking kidding.
-I don't fucking get it.
Do you fuck with this girl or do you not?
[music slows]
I told you that I like her.
Really? 'Cause you told me
that she's a crazy person,
and that you're… you're scared of her,
and that you're only fucking friends
with her because she's blackmailing you.
-You're so fucking drunk. Let's go.
-Honestly?
-Elise!
-Fuck this!
Shut the--
[shouting] I don't give a fuck
if you can hear me!
She doesn't fucking like you!
-Oh my God, shut the fuck up!
- And neither do I.
-Bitch! Get off of me!
-Get the fuck out!
Stop. Please stop.
Be real for once in your fucking life!
Say how you feel.
[dramatic music playing]
-I'm done covering for you.
-[Tyler] Yo, ladies. Is everything okay?
[Elise] Just fuck off, Tyler.
-[Tyler] Hey, you good?
-[sighs] Shut up.
[Anya] El?
[Tyler sighs]
[pulsating music playing]
[knocking softly]
Hello?
Maddie, whose idea were the visions?
No one's.
Whose idea was it to lie?
We all agreed.
[uneasy music playing]
Did Grace start feeling sick at the party?
-[sniffles]
-Did anyone see?
[sobbing] We were all together,
and we were having a really good time,
and then… [crying]
…she was gone.
She even sent me a text
saying she got home.
She texted you?
Can you show me?
[Maddie] Sure. [breathing shakily]
She said, "Home."
"Got a taxi." And then, like, a…
[gulps] …smiley face.
[sobbing]
[music fades]
[Tyler muffled] Elizabeth?
Do you wanna talk about it?
[weakly] Not really.
[crying silently]
Personally, I think you're very sexy.
[chuckles softly, sniffles]
You're very, um…
[sniffles]
…masculine.
Do you wanna open the door?
[water sloshing softly]
Really sorry.
I never wanted you to feel
like you had to lie for me.
[water sloshing softly]
[Steven] Mm.
I found you guys.
I was looking for you. [sniffs]
-Uh…
-[water splashing]
Whoa, whoa.
I think I'm gonna head out.
Wait, I thought you were sleeping over?
You're way too drunk to drive.
Can you stay, please?
-[Steven whispers] What's going on?
-Please?
[water splashes]
What, do you want me to, like, go?
[tense music playing]
Do you think it'd be hot
if Elise and I kissed?
Uh…
Sure. If you want.
[enigmatic music playing]
[Elise and Anya kissing]
[water sloshing softly]
[music swells]
[Anya whispering] Steven, come here.
[Steven and Anya kissing]
Oh, Steven, you lucky dawg!
Wow, my boy needed this.
[water splashing]
[water splashes, drips]
[enigmatic music continues]
[Steven] Is she okay?
-She's in a mood.
-Are you okay?
-[Steven gasps]
-[Anya whispers] Fuck.
[water sloshing softly]
[Steven grunting]
[ominous music playing]
[rosary beads clicking]
[phone ringing]
[music slows]
[Father] I need to tell you something.
[both breathing softly]
["Unravel" by Björk playing]
[Björk vocalizing]
-[Tyler whispers] Is this okay?
-[Lisbeth] Yes.
Do you have protection?
Protection from what?
[Tyler laughing, sighs]
What?
I don't know why the girls don't like you.
[chuckles] You're so funny.
