Season 2, Episode 2

1 (OWL HOOTING) (INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER) Rita, it's Tuttle.
I'm in the woods off Mallard Road.
The, uh, phone tip we got was legit.
We got an MVA down here.
Looks like the driver, uh, lost control, crashed into the ravine.
RITA (ON RADIO): Copy.
Should I send medical? Standby.
I'll check it out.
(SIGHS) Jesus Christ, Dispatch.
It's, um It's Mark Holter.
He's dead.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING) (KNOCKING) Open up! It's the police! Evening, Peter.
That took a while.
Well, it's the middle of the night, Chief.
I had to find some pants.
- Is Evelyn home? - What's wrong? I need to know why she was in the basement of the old Caldwell's department store.
Caldwell's? She dropped her wallet in that basement.
Her purse got stolen.
Someone took it right off her desk at work.
You just remember I gave you the chance to do the right thing.
Look, it's after midnight.
Evelyn's sleeping.
This won't take long.
Don't Hey! Uh - Huh.
- (DOOR OPENS) Peter, what is this? It It's okay.
The chief and his, uh, friend are just making a mistake.
I want you both to leave.
How long has it been? I don't know what you're talking about.
Then why are you so nervous? Well, of course she's nervous.
You bust into our house in the middle of the night, threatening her Hey! Hey! I said hey! Where is Sidney? I don't know who that is.
- Where is he? - (SCREAMING) Tell me where he is! Where is he? (SCREAMING) I don't know! - Where is he? - I don't know! I don't know! Maybe we should just ask him.
How long've you been protecting that thing? He's got nothing to do with this.
Bullshit! He's on your side, and that makes you worse than one of them.
Maybe I should just blow his brains out right here, right now.
- EVELYN: No, wait! - Chief! Chief! Please.
Evelyn, tell me, where can I find Sidney? I can help you.
It's too late.
You'll destroy me.
She's lying.
Let's find out.
I can only imagine how painful it is.
Nobody's seen Sidney for days.
How do I find him? Sidney has help.
Somebody's working with him.
Who? I don't know his name.
Nobody does.
I swear.
Kyle Kyle! Where in the Holy Hell do you think you're going? We're done here.
That woman just told us Sidney has a partner, and she damn sure knows who it is.
And what if she doesn't tell us who it is, huh? What then? Well, who the hell needs a gun when all it takes is you bleeding on her? You got no idea what it takes, Chief.
We don't even know what it is we're fighting.
I'm gonna tell you what I do know.
I do know that it won't be long before there's more of them than there are of us, and then it won't be nothing you or anybody else can do about it.
Not if I can figure out why they're here, why they keep coming.
Then we can stop them all.
Not like this.
(SCOFFS, MUTTERS) I'm gonna kill him.
(COUGHING) (PANTS) (COUGHING) - (FEET SCUFFLING) - (GRUNTING) Clam down! You want the cuffs off? You gotta calm down.
You touch me again, I'll sue your ass.
(SCOFFS) Sounds like fun.
Yeah, blow me.
Enjoy the accommodations, shithead.
Hey, fuck you, pig.
(SPITS) (SCREAMS) What the fuck you lookin' at, Grandpa? (WATER DRIPPING) (GASPS) (PANTING) (GASPS) (GASPS) Breakfast is ready.
I'm not hungry.
KYLE: Uh, excuse me? Uh, I was told I could pick up my brother-in-law's personal effects here? Holter? Yeah.
Here.
Wanna check it? Make sure everything's in there.
Yeah.
Uh, I don't know what I'd be looking for.
Oh.
Just go ahead and sign here.
What's gonna happen to him? His His body? Yeah.
Um, funeral home's picking it up for a cremation.
Would you like to say goodbye? I'll give you a minute.
(WHIRRING) (SIGHS) Byron? Hey.
Well, I just got off the phone with Peter Bailey.
Please tell me you didn't break into his house and put a gun to his head.
Evelyn is the vice president of our bank.
And she may be aiding and abetting a dangerous fugitive.
Are you out of your mind? Your church's new favorite son, that Sidney fella, abducted Kyle Barnes and his daughter a few days ago.
That's gotta be a mistake.
- Have you seen him lately? - No.
He locked that man and his daughter in a basement.
I got witnesses and everything.
Why? What for? Well, when I catch him, I'll be sure to ask him.
- Now, if you'll excuse me.
- My God.
Oh.
Is it also true that you have John Anderson locked up for arson? That fire is still under investigation, and he is a person of interest.
By God, Byron, this is Rome, West Virginia.
Things like that don't happen here.
They happen everywhere.
And I expect you to have my back while I do something about it.
You're not making this easy.
And what is that supposed to mean? Well, there's been rumblings.
- Talk.
- Rumblings? The years catch up with everybody - Bullshit.
- Oh, come on.
You've got a stressful job here.
There's no shame in admitting that.
I thought nothing ever happened here in Mayberry? Now, nobody has given more of themselves to this town than you.
You've earned a break.
And just dump all this shit on some youngster with a chip on his shoulder? Like, Officer Tuttle.
Well, why not? I mean, he can handle it.
It'll give you more time with Rose.
Come on now, before it's too late.
(SIGHS) I appreciate your concern, Owen, but unless you're firing me, protecting this town is still my responsibility.
Hey, just think it over? All right? Talk to Rose.
Yeah.
All right? And keep me in the loop, huh? I'm still the damn mayor of this town.
Yes, sir, you are.
Says so on your vanity plate.
What's going on? Why didn't you call me sooner? I thought you wouldn't come.
Giles says you're being held for arson.
Do you have a lawyer? Do you need me to get bail? I don't need bail.
I don't want a lawyer.
What do you want me to do? Just listen.
I think I killed somebody.
It wasn't an accident.
It wasn't a crime of passion.
I believed that Sidney was the Devil.
There's no sin in killing the Devil.
So I burned him.
Oh, my God.
Sidney wasn't in the trailer.
Somebody else was.
I don't understand.
I'm so sorry, Patricia.
No I If If I'd known that Aaron was inside there How can you torture me with those lies? I wish they were lies.
I stood by you when nobody else would.
I never asked for anything.
I know.
I know.
Aaron is alive.
I know he is.
He will come home and I will never forgive you for this.
Patricia Damn, Grandpa.
Torching your old lady's kid? That some stone-cold shit.
Can I come in? I thought you should know that Mark's arrangements have been taken care of.
So you don't have to worry about all that.
All right.
You get some rest.
I'll come back again in a little while, check in on you.
I didn't deserve Mark, and he deserved someone way better than me.
Megan, you know that's not true.
I was thinking about the first time he ever talked to me.
Felt like he could see right through me.
All the shit, I fought so hard to hide from the world (CHUCKLING) I couldn't hide it from him.
I was sure I'd scared him away.
But the next day, there he was.
And the day after that one, and the next one, and the next.
He made me feel like it was okay to have shit.
That I wasn't broken.
He was my only hope, the only chance I had.
- Megan - I killed my husband, Kyle.
He bled out on the bathroom floor, and I just watched him die.
Did nothing to help.
I don't even know why.
There was something inside of you.
You didn't kill Mark, it did.
What are you saying? There was something controlling you, the same way that my mother was controlled, the same way Allison was.
But whatever it was that made you do that we got it out.
Okay? It's gone now.
You can't fix this, Kyle.
No one can.
Get out.
Please.
Just go.
(GROANING) ANDERSON: What's your name? Heywood Jablowme.
Clever.
(GROANS) What was it? Heroine, meth? I mean, I'm not I'm not judging.
That's all people like you do.
Well, I'm just trying to help.
(GROANS, GRUNTS) Just try to relax.
Fighting the withdrawal's only gonna make it worse.
What the hell do you know? I knew somebody who had a drug problem, once.
And what? You got them clean? No.
I had the chance to do something about it, but I didn't take it.
That's probably why your kid hates you.
Never said it was my kid.
Didn't have to.
(RETCHING) Hey, baby girl.
How you doing? Did Uncle Mark die because of us? Is it our fault? No.
No, of course not.
Then why did it happen? Well, I'm still trying to figure that out.
I don't want to stay here by myself anymore.
Well, you're not by yourself.
You've got Rose, Holly, Aunt Megan.
I want to be with my real family.
I want to be with you.
(SIGHS) I know, Firefly.
You're just gonna have to stick it out a little longer here, till things are safer back home.
It's not safe here, either.
What do you mean? Hey, Amber, what do you mean by that? Aunt Megan, she had a monster inside of her.
We took care of that, didn't we? You saw it leave.
We both did.
Yeah, but what if it comes back and we can't stop it this time? What if it goes back inside of Mommy too? (GROANS) It hurts so much! Fuck! All right, I know, I know.
Will you just listen to my voice? You were right about my son.
It started with a broken arm and a couple pills here and there.
Once that door was opened Shut the fuck up and leave me alone! I'm not your son, okay? I didn't break my arm and start popping my old man's Vicodin.
Why are you in here? 'Cause I like doing drugs.
'Cause I can do whatever the fuck I want with my life.
Justify that.
We're all given free will.
We make our choice, we face the consequences.
There is no fucking God.
Just a bunch of fucked up assholes doing bad things 'cause they feel like it.
I don't believe that's true.
I wonder what your girlfriend's son would think about that.
(GROANS) (SCREAMING) Jason! Jason, answer me! Guard! I need some help in here! Guard! (BONES CRACKING) It's just you and me.
Kyle Barnes isn't here to save you.
Jason, listen to me.
Listen to me, it's not too late.
(GROANING) You need to fight this thing inside of you.
Come on, fight it inside of you.
Jason, stop it! Stop it! (GROANS) Jason, stop it! (BONES CRACK) (CLATTERING) Mr.
Barnes, I'm glad you're here.
You moved her room.
I thought she'd be more comfortable here.
How is she? Well, we ran another series of tests.
Unfortunately, the results were less than encouraging.
I'm afraid we're looking at multi-organ system failure.
Your mother's body is shutting down.
She's She's letting go.
How long? Best case scenario, she could have months.
That's best case? Worst case is days.
I'm sorry.
Mr.
Barnes, when was the last time you had more than a few hours of rest? I don't I don't know.
What time is it now? Have you been eating enough? Keeping your, um, stress levels under control? Yeah, making it my priority.
I know this is hard, but you need to take care of yourself.
All right? Especially with everything that you're going through.
Appreciate your concern.
Thank you, I'm fine.
Just, um, at least let me give you something to help you sleep.
Better safe than sorry.
Safe for who, Doc? Me? Or you? I don't understand.
Why are you so concerned about my health all of a sudden? Huh? I can see that you're sleep deprived and malnourished.
It's my job to offer care and comfort to anyone who needs it.
Anyone? Be careful, Kyle.
At times like these, emotions tend to cloud our better judgment.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have other patients to check in on.
(PHONE BUZZES) Rose, what's wrong? Amber's run off.
Kyle, I can't find her.
You need to get out here.
Uh, I'm on my way.
(GRUNTING) I saw it happen, Byron.
I watched that young man become something else.
And there was not one damn thing I could do about it.
Never felt so helpless in all my life.
I'm familiar with the feeling.
No, that was a sign.
God has turned his back on me and I don't know why.
I always followed his word, his will.
And I just kept racking up the failures.
My advice? You want to survive, stop keeping score.
Maybe there's a better way to fight this fight, with or without God.
I agree.
But we gotta make sure the one guy who can actually do something about it does too.
Kyle.
Talk to him.
Make sure the three of us are all playing by the same rules.
You You want to give me my visiting hours? (CHUCKLES) You didn't kill Aaron McCready.
ME's report on the body recovered from under the trailer.
It was a woman, John.
Been down there at least 30 years.
Looks like some kind of ritualistic murder.
Lips sewn shut, body wrapped in plastic.
Jesus.
Who is she? Don't know yet, but she's long dead before you ever lit a match.
So go on, get the hell out of my jail cell.
Now.
1345 Old Briar Road.
That's where Kyle's family is staying, I'm guessing that's where you're gonna find him.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
Oh, I've been looking everywhere for you.
You had me worried sick, Firefly.
I told you I didn't want to stay in that cabin anymore.
Yeah, I know, but where are you going in the middle of the night? I don't know.
I just wanted to be with you.
And I want to be with Mommy.
We need to protect her from the monsters.
And I miss her, Daddy.
Me too, baby girl.
I miss her more than anything.
Why can't we go and get her? Why can't we be a family again? We can.
We can.
(CRYING) (DISTANT LAUGHING AND SHOUTING) We're just getting started.
(SCREAMS) You didn't hurt him? Just scared him a little.
He's getting pretty bold.
I've got him under control.
Of course you do.
Though he did seem to get the better of you in that basement.
Kyle and his little girl will do exactly what they're meant to.
He can fight it all he wants, but he can't deny his reason for being.
And when the merge is finally complete, he'll find out what it really means to suffer.
(CRYING) Shh.
Yes You're gonna be You're gonna be all right.
Shh.
