May your souls rejoice in heaven.

We baptize you for and on behalf of these souls who are dead.

Let these dead souls enter heaven by using your body as a vessel.

Let them speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Emmanuel

who hath ordained.

And enable us to redeem them out of their prison, for the prisoners shall go

free.

Where are the other girls?

Not much longer, really.

Heidi Crowe. Heidi Crowe.

This is too far.

I have just come from the elders.

They all agree.

The room.

My game.

That my love is free as dirt. That I'm not

worth the salt of the earth.

You say there's nothing in me but a desire for one to see.

Pace. Or you keep pace.

All right. Later.

Morning, beautiful.

Morning.

New piece?

How's it going?

It's going.

Is this you for today?

This is the morning. The afternoon's work will be done in the garden, I

Okay.

Very cute.

What about tonight's work?

What's this?

Oh, I don't know.

Is that her? No.

I could be convinced to stay a little longer.

Not now.

I'm so tired. I haven't showered. I'm gross. No, you're not gross.

You're gorgeous.

Okay, cool.

Uh, gotta go?

I will.

Bring something back for dinner.

I love you.

Love you more.

We can love.

Honey? Hey, Elise!

Honey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Stop! Elise!

You're okay.

No, no, no. I was just in the garden.

I was just in the garden. I was just in the garden. I was just in the garden.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

I

haven't

had any issues with my memory for ten years.

Every time I wake up, I've either totally humiliated myself, hurt myself,

something worse.

Has something else happened?

The other morning, I was in the garage.

And I smelled something horrible.

And I found something.

It was the neighbors.

I killed that poor little dog.

I can't live like this.

Well, Elise, I'm going to have to be honest with you.

The episodes seem to be lasting longer and becoming more violent.

We're close to thinking about the hospital until this improves.

What, like an institution?

No, I can't do that.

No, I won't do that. No. There is one last thing we can try.

You know, there's a reason why you can't remember much of your experience in the

church.

Your mind is suppressing these memories to protect you.

But why is it just some of the memories?

I can remember food that I ate and things I said, but when I try to think

people, names and faces, everything is just blank.

We don't know why some memories are clear and others are just...

Gone. These blackouts are a way for this unresolved trauma to force

its way to the surface.

Other survivors who have left the FLDS, many of whom are my patients, have had

similar experiences.

Now, consider what you told me about your lack of sex drive.

Which Adam is fed up with. I mean, he's supportive, but everyone has a limit.

Your strict upbringing within the FLDS has caused this suppression in your

sexuality.

It's not unusual.

And it's not even the most important thing here.

But a common indicator of past trauma.

These repressions are causing these issues in your life, Elise.

And you need to unearth these secrets.

I'd like to try an alternative form of therapy.

I found some healers from your old church.

Located right outside of Haventon.

And I'd like to contact them.

What? Yes.

I think you need to tackle this at the source.

From where your trauma began.

FLDS?

Fundamentalist healers? The same homophobic polygamist freaks that kicked

out of the Mormon church in the first place? Now, only does he want to put you

back near them.

He wants to have them give you a hallucinogen. Yeah, I know. It's insane.

What even is the Tura root?

Apparently it's like the local version of Ayahuasca.

The Tura has been used for centuries by Native Americans to induce visions.

Modern use sets out with depression, MS.

I just don't see how forcing you back into their world can help. I mean, these

people are crazy. Yeah, but what if I have to do this just to stay out of a

hospital?

I have never taken drugs like that before.

What happens if I freak out or something?

Hey, listen.

We're gonna figure this out, okay?

You're not gonna have to do it alone, and you're not going to any fucking nut

house.

It's your choice.

But if you do decide to do it, I will do it with you.

Okay?

Oui?

Lenny?

You okay?

I can't do this anymore.

And I'm over.

Yeah.

You can share the drive with Gwen.

Yeah, if she ever gets here.

Sure we need someone else in on this. You know, I can handle it. Yeah, I know.

But I don't want to put any extra pressure on you.

Might be good to have someone else there besides you offered.

Look who decided to show up. I'm sorry I'm late.

Hey, babe.

Thanks for coming. It means a lot. Oh, my God, of course.

Hey, Gwen.

I didn't know you were coming.

Do you have, like, a crystal convention or something to attend this weekend? I

think we got this.

Oh, oh, so you're trusting those FLDS fanatics to get us over ones and you

are off your faces?

Good point.

So I'll stay clean and make sure everyone's on the up and up.

Capiche? Well, in that case, welcome aboard, chaperone.

The moon is rising.

Hands need to be held.

I say we get this show on the road.

Shall we?

Sounds like a rough one the other night.

Fingers felt like I rubbed them on a cheese grater for an hour.

But apart from that, I'm just peachy.

The healers have confirmed.

7 p .m. sharp in Higginson.

It's happening.

Check this out.

Should we stop?

No, we don't have time.

Morning, Mother.

What did you do to your hair?

I got it cut.

Do you like it?

You look like a little boy, like a ten -year -old child.

How are you supposed to marry if you don't look like a man?

I see your son Jacob has taken his third wife just last week. Mother. And here

you are, single, still.

What is this?

Our new patient. We no longer perform the service. End of the matter. Mother,

look.

It's elite.

Elite Decker.

It meant to be.

An explicit act of Heavenly Father. He is calling upon us. Nope.

I remember her.

She was so pretty.

A kind girl. And if she is in need... then we should help.

Because it was my fault that she... Silence!

You did your duty to Heavenly Father.

Her kind will find no help here.

End of the matter.

How much longer?

Oh, are we there yet?

Shut up.

I think I see it up here.

Is that it?

This is Haventon.

Well, I was expecting less forest and more town, but okay.

How is this even here?

There was a river that ran through over there.

It flashed in 1910 and washed away all the buildings, or so I was told.

The Baptist tree, somehow, was the only thing that survived.

It's exactly the same.

I think this is going to be great, Elise.

A confrontation of yourself, your ego, and what ails you.

You know, exposure therapy, it's a real thing. It can really work.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

This is all just a bit intense.

I'll take it one step at a time. You and me.

Okay, just unpack by myself then

Crazy

That's horrible.

What is it?

It's a... baptismal font.

You know, dunk you in, lift you out into the comforting hands of Heavenly Father

kind of thing.

To each their own?

Don't worry.

The Mormons will get you when you're dead.

Wait, what's that supposed to mean?

Accept that a man be born of water and of the Spirit.

You cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

You've lost it.

If you're not baptized in the Mormon church, then you can't enter their

So what they do is they accept the names of deceased people.

Non -Mormon friends.

Aunt Frank is a favorite.

And then they will save these poor souls by...

Baptizing a living person by proxy.

So, they dunked some living person as a stand -in body to get the dead person

into heaven?

Baptism for the dead, baby.

Have these people never heard of consent?

Jeez.

Is this knocking loose some memories?

So many things are cloudy.

I can remember parts of my upbringing.

Like how my father was super strict because he was a man of the community

was expected.

And how my mother was so obedient to him.

And one of the last things I can remember is the baptism.

Which, for some reason, was held here that night instead of in the town, like

usual.

I can't imagine what that's like, to be missing a chunk of your life like that.

I remember most of it.

But when I look around the room, I can't

see any faces.

I don't know who's there.

Jesus.

Disturbing, right?

On that note, do you think maybe we can explore someplace else?

There you go.

I'm going to stay for a minute.

Are you sure?

Exposure therapy, right?

Okay.

Okay.

Elise?

Quick.

Please.

Mother? You carry our name with you. Best.

Someone who knows what they're doing deals with the Gentiles.

That must be done with it.

Was she a friend of yours?

I think so.

I think her name was Clara.

My head's like a melting pot right now. There's lots of memories flooding in.

I can't believe this is all still here.

Hopefully this dropped some more stuff.

It's a good thing we came, then.

Set up camp.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Didn't you curb the hipster thing for one weekend? Brought a flashlight like a

normal human being?

Kerosene light is higher quality.

What does that even mean?

Think listening to vinyl for streaming?

Jesus. No.

Uh -huh.

There we go.

There.

Right

on

time.

You must be Hiram.

We've been texting. I'm Elise.

You don't remember me.

No, sorry.

I, uh... Hey.

Madam, this is Gwen.

Oh, this is my mother, Sister Jessup. You can call her Alma.

We will go gather our equipment. We'll meet you inside.

Thank you.

You ready for this?

The names being read out.

I mean, coal in the water.

And then...

These

blackouts are ruining my life.

I really hope this works.

I'm scared what I'll do.

You have been through so much.

But you have called upon us because we are healers of the natural order.

Followers of the true Mormon faith that requires observations of tenets set down

by our founder and prophet Joseph Smith.

Tenets being the belief in psychedelics.

Yes, what you speak is true.

But Joseph Smith himself was a classic shaman.

in that he promised his converts visions of the Lord.

And what better way to fulfill that pledge than through the employment of

entheogen -infused sacraments?

Hallucinogen. Yeah, I got it, Gwen.

So that explains why early Mormons experienced visions of angels and

ecstasies.

They were drugged.

Why hadn't I heard of this before?

Well, you might have had you paid attention to me.

I'm sorry?

In grade school, I lived two blocks from you in Spring Creek.

Once, I even gifted you pine nut sweets.

I'm sorry, I don't remember much from that time.

Hiram, please.

Unfortunately, the church, ever self -conscious of outside prejudices, banned

such devices, requiring my forefathers to choose their own path, the path of

true faith, as founded by our prophet.

Nowadays, it is our mandate to help.

Those in need achieve balance and relief, or whatever ails them, through

of non -traditional, non -Western medicines.

Henbane, detourer root.

All in the name of Heavenly Father.

Trust that we will do everything in our power to bring you relief,

Elise.

As she done.

We offer our souls to you.

The detour medicine is a powerful hallucinogen.

It'll lead you to an altered state of spiritual consciousness.

But you must know what you want to learn about yourselves.

How long does it last?

Several hours.

You'll feel the effect.

Soon, then you'll be taken into the dream state.

But you will be returned by daybreak.

To relief.

To relief.

Are you okay?

Do not fight the medicine.

Listen to it.

Enter its world.

Communicate with the spirits and with our Lord.

I'm so sick.

What am I supposed to be feeling?

Everyone is different.

Look at me.

Breathe.

Some people feel euphoria.

Some are anxious.

Some feel impending doom.

Welcome the visions Embrace every emotion

reach deep into your core understanding and let yourself being feel

What's wrong?

She's coming.

Who?

She'll be here soon.

She'll show you.

Show me what?

Everything.

What happened?

She must have torn internally. What the fuck do you mean torn internally?

I don't know.

Something's not right.

Mother, help!

Elise, you're going to be okay. Everything's going to be all right.

What are you doing?

Writing her wrong.

Stop. Let her work.

You are a vessel of Heavenly Father.

Get it out of her.

You must get it out of her now.

Get what out of her?

Say something.

Please.

How do you feel?

Release? I'm better.

Okay. I'm okay.

I... I see you.

Your illness shouldn't trouble you any longer.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Now, you must leave this place.

Evil is here, Hiram.

And it is my burden to bear.

My burden.

Shit. What time is it?

Nearly midday.

What? Fuck.

Wait, where's Elise?

You didn't just let her go off on her own, did you? Don't worry.

She's right over there.

Is she okay?

Truthfully, I don't know.

What the hell was that last night?

Scared me shitless.

Learn anything?

Apparently, I'm an egotistical monster.

Aren't we all?

Morning. Hey.

How are you doing?

I'm feeling good, yeah.

See, what did I say from the beginning?

Embrace the mysticism.

Your eyes are so clear.

It's like I had this weight in my stomach all these years. It was causing

much dread and stress, and I knew it had something to do with the blackouts, and

now it's just gone.

Honey, it's amazing.

Should we go get you to see a doctor?

I mean, the stuff that came out of you last night.

Sorry, I don't mean to bring it up. No, it was seriously messed up.

But honestly, I feel great.

Like the best I have in years.

I'll go and see a doctor when we get back, just to be sure. I promise.

Honestly, this is even better than I expected.

Should we get going?

Slow down. I know it's nowhere near bourbon time, but we need to celebrate.

What? You up for it?

Screw it.

Can't we do that when we get back? I am so proud of you.

You deserve this.

I love you.

I love you more.

To Elise and her healing.

Cheers. Cheers.

The deterra jogged a few memories. Things I'd forgotten.

Like what?

Um... Tell us anything.

Okay.

Clara.

I remember more details.

What details?

Well, she was the bishop's daughter.

We... We're more than friends.

I think it was sexual.

Wait, you slept with the bishop's daughter?

I think so. I don't know.

Wait, what happened? The girl spilled her tea.

When I think of her, all I feel is... I don't know.

Feelings about...

Sex. Is this why you and I have issues with the... I mean, with us?

What? You know exactly what I mean. Is this why you and I don't have sex

anymore?

Uh, Adam, can we talk about this later? Are there any other secrets you're

hiding?

This isn't much of a surprise to me as it is to you.

Guys, maybe I should go for a walk.

You haven't looked at me once in years.

Every single pass I make is shot down.

Every single one.

It's like the thought of kissing me makes you cringe. That is not true.

Now I find out you're so into sex, it got you kicked out of the church. That

not what I said, you prick.

I'm just going to go for a walk.

No, stay.

I'll go.

Isn't it amazing and look

Elise, listen.

I don't know what happened. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Listen.

What I did back there, I was out of line.

Okay?

Your stuff, your path, it's yours.

It's not my place to judge or feel insecure about, and it was my shit, and

took it out on you, and I'm a dick.

Truthfully, I'm just happy you're feeling better, and I hope that you...

Hey.

I want something, Adam.

Anything.

What can I do?

Hello? Hello?

Oh please, naughty girl.

really skirt the shit out of me here here okay what did you see in there i

know um nothing nothing i'm obviously losing my fucking mind i don't know

no one is losing their mind we're all good let's go

Guys, what the fuck is this?

There's no way.

This one's head's been skewered.

This one's had its head crushed.

Someone's fucking with us.

See? Nothing.

Definitely the battery. The one that left the lights on last night. You left

lights on last night.

Well, call AAA.

Let's get this fixed so we can leave.

No, we're in the middle of nowhere.

It'll take forever for them to get out here.

We could call Hiram.

Huh?

Seriously, you want me to call that weirdo?

I'll call him.

He has to be closer than anyone else, and I'm sure he'd be happy to help.

Great idea.

The sooner the better.

You should leave it running for at least a half an hour.

You don't want to stall on the side of one of these roads.

Listen, you should know.

Mother confessed to seeing a spirit latched onto you.

It took great effort, but she removed it.

Excuse me?

You can feel it, can't you?

Her illness is not a joke to be toyed with. This is no joke.

She removed the spirit that was living inside you. Listen, I think it's time

that you leave.

You should go.

Well, I suggest that you all do the same.

Because whatever that thing was, it's free now to do as it pleases.

Just look what it's done already.

I know this is going to sound weird, but do you remember a girl named Clara from

Spring Creek?

You should clear out of here as soon as you can.

That guy's batshit.

He should probably pack up camp.

Do you guys mind if I take one last look around?

At least we need to leave, like now.

Hiram said we need to run the car for at least half an hour.

Probably not only to run the car for half an hour. I know this is going to

nuts, but I need to learn more about what happened to Clara.

This is the first time I've had any memories of my past.

Do you know what that's like, to not know who you are?

I leave. Please?

We'll leave before dark, I promise.

I would like to bear my testimony that I know the church is true.

This sin is great.

But I ask for forgiveness in the celestial kingdom in return for a life

to our Heavenly Father and to our prophet, Warren Jeff.

I must beg for it.

For there is no other way.

I say this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Take my offering.

Grant my family peace.

Clara, what happened?

back, Mother.

You were right about those Gentiles.

They haven't the faintest.

Mother!

Oh, no, no, no, no.

What have you done?

What have you done? What have you done?

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Uncle, Mother's hurt real bad.

Gather the family. Come quick.

Okay.

Father, kid, Adam wouldn't let me break down camp until he got back. Can we

please go now?

You okay?

I just need to be by myself for a minute.

Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.

Anywhere he leads me in this world below.

Anywhere without him dearest joy would fade.

Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid. I need to speak with her now!

The witch grows stronger, Ira, and will reclaim its host.

What do you speak of? What witch?

The spirit we removed.

LaRue.

LaRue? Who is LaRue?

We were told she was a settler of Havington, a devoted member of the

a mentor to the young women.

It was not known to the other settlers, but her deep devotion to the doctrine

and covenants masked a diseased mind.

That of a witch.

The bodies were never found.

She consumed them.

That night, your great -great -grandfather and his search party...

came upon all that remained of the young girls.

In her final breath, La Rue vowed that even death would not stop her taking

revenge on the church.

We held Elisa's baptism for the dead ritual at the old font in Haventon.

was not to sally our own temple with her sin.

It was me who gave the witch's name to be spoken to shame the girl

Elise for what she did.

I did not know the witch would claim her as a host.

And now the room will claim her again.

What's wrong?

Mother.

You need to leave.

She's been in there for like an hour. What is she doing?

Say something.

Don't worry.

You're leaving soon.

Adam.

Adam. Just hold on a sec.

Hey.

Just checking in.

Everything okay?

I'm fine.

Gwen's a little weirded out.

Thinking we should hit the road.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Adam?

Thank you.

For your support today.

I know it was a weird request.

I'm sorry for being so fucked up.

No, no, no, no.

If anything, I'm the one who should be apologizing.

I just maybe thought more memories would come back to me. You know what I mean?

Some kind of closure.

Yeah.

No, I get it.

And I'm sorry again for losing my shit.

I'm a horrible drunk.

I admit it.

I love you.

Love you more Gonna

take a quick leak and then back the car, okay

Jesus

When? Not the time to be sneaking up on people.

Endlessly waiting.

What is it that you want me to do? Oh, my God, it's too much, okay? I'm done. I

won't wait any longer.

Gwen, I am doing the best that I can. Just please try to calm down.

Jesus. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

You're nearly there.

No.

If the deal was once Elise was healthy and better, you would leave her.

I'm not going to wait another four months.

Gwen. It's been less than 24 hours.

It's... Elise!

Listen to me!

How could you? Just hear me out! Stay away from me! Fuck! What the fuck did we

do? Adam, stop!

Are you sure we're alone?

Alone as a shepherd without his...

I'm sorry I'm late. The rain just... Father?

Father?

John 4 .18 says, There is no fear in love.

But perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment.

I love her.

And she loves me.

Please, Father.

The young girl said you bullied her into it. That it was all your idea.

No, that's not true.

She wouldn't... She would never say that. I didn't do anything wrong. What

right holds no water if in the eyes of the church it is wrong.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Please, Father, please don't let it take me away.

Please don't do this.

You'll be staying in the compound until tomorrow afternoon when the orphanage

worker arrives to pick you up.

I want you out of my house.

Maybe we come back in the morning for her.

We need the campsite set up. What do you think?

We're not going anywhere, Gwen.

We're going to wait here until she comes back.

Well, you're sure as shit not staying with me.

Hey, I really need your support right now, okay? It's been a really tough

for me.

Oh, fuck off, Adam. Go wait in the car.

Come on, come on.

Please.

That's all.

Unbelievable. How could you be so careless, you fucking prick?

Bye.

There's nothing in there. What was it? There's a woman in there. I swear.

Fuck this.

It's empty.

It's really me. Clara, I've missed you.

Dig!

Huh? Dig!

What am I digging for?

It's a surprise.

Oh, I love surprises.

I've missed you so much, Clara. My heart aches for you.

If only my heart still beat.

Yes, if only.

Praise be, what is it?

It's a bone.

A rib, I think.

Wonderful, there must be more.

Lord, I hope so.

Shall I keep digging?

Did Joseph Smith have ten wives?

What do

you find?

That is most certainly a... It's called... My name Pretty.

Pretty.

They're looking for you.

There's someone here to take you away.

I'm sorry for what I did.

I just, I panicked. I didn't know what to do.

Do you hate me?

No.

Oh, no.

I'm thankful.

What are you doing?

It's you I remember you now

You've been with me all

Spirit birth to spirit.

Oh, God.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit! No!

No!

Hey! Hey! Let me out!

Spare her the room.

Spirit birth to spirit.

In the name of Heavenly Father, she is innocent.

I trust you've all practiced holding your breath.

They are ready, Bishop Franklin.

May your souls rejoice in heaven.

Thank you.
