Are we sure we should be doing this?
What choice has she given us?
- [door opens] - [Reverend] Good afternoon.
- Sorry to keep you waiting. - That's okay.
We have time.
Well... [clears throat]
The first question I have for you is
how did you learn of my services?
The Bergrens.
We go to church with Buddy and Pattie.
- Ah! And how's Miles doing? - [man] Great.
He finished his freshman year at State on the Dean's List.
Well, that warms my heart.
What else did the Bergrens say?
That you're...
[sighs]
...a miracle worker.
Oh.
Only our Lord and Savior works miracles, ma'am.
I work people.
[uneasy music playing]
Are either of you familiar with deprogramming?
[softly] No.
That's okay.
Not many are.
These days, parents like yourselves
are faced with troubles that no generation before could imagine.
The youth of today are brainwashed into believing
that sin is an outdated concept.
My job is to reverse that.
How?
By any means necessary.
This is all...
legal, right?
Ah.
I need you to understand exactly what you're getting into here.
I'm not a guidance counselor.
I'm not a psychiatrist.
I am a savior of lost souls.
My job sometimes will require me
to step outside man's laws
to do God's work.
Understand?
Um...
Good.
Now, tell me about your child.
[sharp inhale] She's, uh, 17.
Uh, she sees herself as a...
free spirit. [nervous chuckle]
She ran off... two weeks ago.
And we don't know exactly where to.
That's all right. I'll handle that.
You'll... handle that?
Are you a deprogrammer...
or a bounty hunter?
I'm whatever the situation needs.
But you can call me the Reverend.
What can I call your daughter?
- [dramatic string music swells] - [clicks tongue]
[whispers] Tracy.
Her name is Tracy.

No. But...
do I believe in the concept?
Of course.

Well, do you believe in the Devil?
My parents always told me I got the Devil inside of me.
That's why I left home.
I couldn't stand feeling like I was

God, the Devil...
They're not up in Heaven or down in Hell.
They're inside every one of us. [chuckles]

For years, I have tried to be a source of light in dark times,
but how can I when these people won't even open up their eyes?
I know exactly how you feel.

I've been trying to get my husband to wash his hands

Won't do it.

It's about your daughter, Tracy.

Well, I'll, uh, see you then.
Um, wait, wait, wait. Sorry, um...
Uh, I actually can't. I...

Brittany?

[door opens, closes]
[Faith] It's beautiful down here.
[insects chirring]
Hmm.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
Usually, when I'm flat on my back on the field,
it's because a linebacker sacked me.
[laughs] I'm sorry, I don't...
I don't really know what that means.
Oh. That's fine.
It doesn't even really matter, anyway. [sighs]
Sure it does.
It's what you love.
[chuckles softly] No.
It's what people love about me.
It makes people happy.
Makes my folks proud,
and it'll probably get me out of this town for good,
which is... awesome.
But it's just...
it's just not who I am.
I actually know just how you feel.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
I go to church three times a week, and...
that's how everyone sees me,
but it's only because my mom wants me to, you know?
[sighs] And ever since my dad died,
I'm kind of all she has, so...
Yeah, but, I mean...
eventually, you have to become your own person. Right?
I mean,
what's the point of life if it's not your own?
Yeah.
Yeah, I-I know you're right, but...
[chuckles] You know I'm right, but...?
But-- But... [sighs]
I don't know, I want to do right by her.
Oh.
I mean, in a way, she's all I have, too.
So, why did you want to see me today?
I'm sorry, are you...
- Are you having a bad time? We can go-- - No, no, no.
No, that's not it. It's just...
[sighs]
You're you, and I'm...
You're what?
Just-just tell me why.
And be honest.
[gentle music playing]
Okay.

But until lately, I just thought you were...

You're a nice guy, right?
Uh...
Yeah, I've been accused.
So, if I...
let you kiss me, you won't try any funny business, will you?

That the Devil is inside of me and only I can control it.

What do we do with her?
[sighs]
After what she's been through,
there's no hope of building trust with her.
Deprogramming will be impossible.
The sedative should wear off any minute. When it does...
there will be difficult decisions to make.
And what do we do with...
him?
Oh, Lord have mercy.
I don't know.
Twenty-six years I've been in this line of work.
Never once has anything like this happened.
We did what we could. Nothing went according to plan.
[softly] According to plan...
[sighs]
[Reverend] According to whose plan?
"The heart of man plans his way...
but the Lord establishes his steps."
[sharp exhale] I see them now.
I see the steps he's laid ahead of us.
It's been my life's plan to lead lost souls
back to the Lord, as I did with you two.
For the body of an innocent to be laid upon my doorstep,
it cannot be as punishment for the work we've done,
but nourishment for the plans he knows us to have in our hearts.
This may have been accidental, but it wasn't random.
That boy was tempted by the Devil.
So, we must let his death be a lesson.
Evil is hiding.
But it is here.
[Faith, muffled] Help!
[muffled] Help! Somebody, please help me!
Help!
That girl in there has gone through hell.
To have any chance of saving her,
the horrors she has witnessed cannot leave this house with her.
Gilbert, in the cabinet is a bottle of lorazepam.
Every hour, on the hour, you give her one.
By the time this is cleaned up, she'll have no memory it happened.
Sir, that's a lot of benzos.
Yes.
But it's nothing compared to a life haunted by what she's seen.
This is an act of mercy, Gilbert.
Let's go upstairs, have a talk.

Makes no difference to me.
Oh!
Tell me about that day.
[Tracy] Well, that was Christmas morning,
when I was, um, six. Uh, maybe seven.
I thought I was done opening my presents for that day, but...
my grandparents showed up with a sweet little dog
in a big red box.
I played with her for like five minutes, and I was totally in love.
[laughs]
I didn't know she was mine, so I looked up at my mom,
and I was like, "Momma, can I keep her?"
[both chuckle]
[uneasy music playing]
Your mom tells that story the exact same way.
- Did you know that? - She told you that one, huh?
It's one of her fondest memories.
[Tracy] Hmm.
How about the one where she dragged me to the church by my ear
because I put my elbows up on the dinner table?
She tell you that one, too?
Your mother cares about you. Deeply.
My mother doesn't even know me.
Is that why you ran away from home?
I didn't run away.
I escaped.
Did you?
Because I know how people live on those communes.
I think you fled one oppressor,
and fell right back into the arms of another.
Well...
They accept me for who I am.
Is that really who you are, Tracy?
A girl willing to spread her legs and sin
for anyone?
Ugh.
'Cause when I look at you,
I see so much more than that.
I hope you do, too.

[soundscape distorts]
[groaning, coughing]
[Tracy breathing rapidly]
You were right. My parents were right.
The Devil is inside of me.
- Please... Please. - No, no.
- He was inside of you. - [panting]
Now you're free.
[panting]
- [Tracy sobbing] - Oh, oh.
[panting]
[restraints clinking]
[whimpering softly]
[breathing rapidly]
[restraints thudding]
[gasps]
[breathing rapidly]
[thudding]
[foreboding music playing]
[Gilbert] God, no, no, no.
No, no, no! [panting]
No, no...
[breathing rapidly]
No, no...
[departing footsteps]
[eerie music playing]
[breathing rapidly]
[eerie music swells]
[ominous music playing]
[knocking]
- Mommy... - [Tracy] Faith!
- You're home! - [Faith whimpers]
[sobbing]
Oh, God.
I got you, baby girl.
Oh God, I got you.
[Reverend] How do you feel, Tracy?
I'm a little scared.
I'm sure.
I'm... I mean, I'm better now.
But...
What if he comes back for me, Reverend?
What do I do?
You take that light that I found inside you,
and you let it burn bright.
What if it isn't enough?
All it takes is the flicker of a firefly
to lead a lost soul out of the darkness.
That's who you are.
In all that cold, and all that dark,
you be a bright little firefly.
[uneasy music playing]
[Reverend on phone] Are you still there?
[Tracy] Yes.
It's all my fault.
[crying softly]
I'm going to lose her over this, Reverend.
And I can't.
She's all that I have in this world.
[Reverend] I won't let that happen.
But I'm gonna need you to play your part.
[Tracy] What do I have to do?
What you were always meant to do.
This town is finally ready for a leader like you.
Show them the way out of the darkness.
Show them who you really are, Firefly.
[eerie music playing]
[Gilbert] Hi, Faith.
[gasps]
[Gilbert] We need to talk.
[ominous music playing]
Y-you took me.
I was only trying to help, Faith.
Really.
My parents said I had demons at your age, too.
Mine were in a bottle.
He fixed me right up.
Got me on the right path.
Thought I was doing a good thing, helping him, you know?
- [bottle thuds] - Hey!
I'm trying to tell you something!
You think this is easy for me? Huh?
Coming back to this house?
You killed Ryan, didn't you?
[weeps softly, sniffles]
No.
[sighs]
But I might as well have.
Why did you do this to me?
- [keys jingle] - [lock clicking]
You should ask your mother.
[Tracy] Faith?
- What are you doing here? - Mom, how do you know him?
You can keep running from your demons, Tracy, but I can't.
I wanted to apologize to Faith for everything we've done
before I turn myself in to the police.
Faith...
I'm sorry.
[shudders]
I'm sorry.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute! No, you're not thinking clearly.
Why don't I make you a pot of coffee and we can talk?
- [grumbles] - No, stop it.
Stop it! You're being foolish!
No! No! Let me call the Reverend.
And anything that you're feeling, he can help with it.
No, he can't. Get out of my way.
No, Gilbert! Gilbert, no!
You cannot do this.
I'm not gonna tell you again. Move!
Please!
I'm begging you-- [gasping, choking]
Stop! Stop! Let her go!
Let her go!
- Let her go! - This is all her fault!
You're going to kill her!
That boy is dead because of you!
[choking, coughing]
Maybe it's about time that you join him.
[choking]
- [sharp thud] - [gasping, panting]
[heavy clang]
[Tracy panting]
Oh my God.
[breathing rapidly]
- Mom! - [laughs]
Mom, is he gonna be okay? Is he gonna be okay?
- Yes. - [whimpering]
Yes. Yes.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Mommy's here.
