Hello, Cheryl.

Leland.

What's going on?

I had one rule.

Don't ever touch my granddaughters.

And if you did...

Cut off your dick.

I don't know who you've been talking to, Cheryl, but I haven't touched a single

one.

Where did this come from? Fuck you.

Cheryl, we've worked so well together.

Let's not break this up now.

You tried to kill Laura.

No.

I just wanted Andy to know that he needed a son.

By killing Laura.

Cheryl, what did you think we were doing here?

From the very beginning.

It's a little late in the day to start whining about your granddaughter. I

to myself I would never let a man control my career or my life or my

granddaughter's lives.

Well?

It's going to be tough if you want to keep up your transfusions.

Can't wait to see you age 20 years in 20 days.

Right back at you, bud. Have you checked your supply?

No, you did not.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This was 10 years worth of work. Not all is lost. I took half of them home.

Too bad you're a little short down there.

You're not gonna survive this.

Coming after me. If one of us did, I wouldn't bet against me.

Because you look so fine, man, I really want to make you mine.

You look so fine, man, I really want to make you mine.

Come on, get your kick, man. You don't need the money when you look like that,

do you, honey?

I know we ain't got much to say before I let you go.

I just feel like this, I break everything.

There's too much interpretation to me.

It's really just as bad as too little.

The world just scares me.

War and war, everything seems to happen.

You're doing it wrong.

Hit. Click enter.

Oh, wow.

I've never had an animated pen mansplained to me before.

Okay, that's Equivone and they're gender neutral.

Here, you just have to rephrase your search. What did you want?

An essay on the Book of Job.

I'm not thrilled you know how to do this.

Just use it for research.

Right.

Mom, I'm almost ready. I need to grab my backpack downstairs.

Lila.

What'd I do? The train called.

Your book of Job essay.

I turned it in on time. Read it to me.

The story of Job reminds believers to find solace in the justice of God in the

face of suffering. In the Bible, Job was considered blameless and upright.

I did the work. I just didn't know how to put it into words. I asked you over

the weekend if you wrote it, and you lied. I didn't lie.

Yeah. Shut up, Laura. Hey, don't say shut up. You're mad at me, but Laura

tobacco at school.

Wait, what?

Okay, it was the truth or dare, and you always tell us not to back down. What

happened to my daughters? Since when did they become demented longshoremen?

Well, do you think that's a big deal? Don't look at me.

Well, Lynn's been lying about seeing Ren.

Laura! It's the truth!

That's the best. Let's go. Okay, bye, Mom. Time to go.

Wait. Go.

You broke up with Ren?

No. She was never with Ren.

Then where have you been sneaking out to?

Oh good, I'm not the only one to sleep.

What?

The train haunting.

Oh, right.

Um, I need a minute.

Where's Sister Andrea?

That way.

Up the stairs?

Yeah.

Dr. Bouchard.

Well, may I help you? Yes.

That's exactly the question you should have asked before you started counseling

my daughter.

Please come in. No, I'm fine right here.

May I just say, how dare you speak to my daughter without my permission about

becoming a nun?

She's 15 years old. Excuse me. I can still hear you.

I do not want my daughter proselytized to. Not without my permission.

You can wait until she's 18. I'll send you a postcard on her birthday. You can

grab her then. But until then, what's this? A permission slip permitting me to

speak about religion with your daughter.

Yeah, I'm not going to sign it. Well, you already did.

No, I didn't. No?

Well, then I won't speak with Lynn anymore.

You knew that was for it. No.

But I would make this argument to you, Dr. Bouchard.

Don't withhold any information from your daughter. She's smart.

I am sorry for accusing you, sister, but you've now heard it from my lips. I do

not want you counseling my daughter.

Is that Lynn wanting to be a nun?

Yeah. I'm sneaking out, pretending to be meeting her boyfriend.

You're angry because Lynn is sneaking out to become a nun instead of getting

pregnant. Ben, I don't need this right now, okay?

Lynn, we need to talk. You don't dare forge my signature.

Cyrus, these are the other assessors I was talking to you about. Ben and

Kristen.

Nice to meet you.

I've been an engineer at VBLS for five years. A trained engineer.

That's right. Yeah, I had to clarify at parties. I'm the kind of engineer that

doesn't make any money.

I started out as a brake man, and now I conduct the midnight route from Garden

City to Sparta Junction.

It's actually a pretty rough route.

You don't get a lot of sleep, obviously, and we pass through a lot of mixed -use

communities.

Mixed -use?

Civilian traffic by foot and car.

So it's not great.

Every couple of months we get suicides on the tracks.

You know, you'll see somebody a quarter mile off, someone.

drunk or, I don't know, just depressed.

They step on the tracks or they're just lying there.

You know, those are the worst.

And people are just lying there looking up at the stars.

So you hit the horn, you hit the brakes.

Look at the speed I'm going. It takes 200 yards to stop.

You just watch as the person on the tracks

goes under.

It's terrible.

It's terrible to kill someone.

Well, but you don't kill them.

But I do.

You can see as the train goes over them.

And sometimes I just scream.

So by the time you stop, you're 50 yards past them, right? You get out, look to

see what's left, and it's just blood and sometimes a body part on the engine.

And now you're feeling haunted.

Yeah.

Yeah, about a month ago, I saw this young girl in a white prom dress on the

tracks.

She wouldn't move no matter how hard I blew the horn, so I hit her.

And now, every time I drive that route, I

see her again.

Except now, there's something

scary

on her.

dragging her away.

So I stop the train every time and I get out and there's nothing there.

I don't know what's happening to me.

I don't know if I'm possessed or haunted.

But I need your help.

Please.

Oh, God.

I'm so sorry.

Hello? Is this Kristen Bouchard?

Yeah, who's this?

This is Dr. Stenberg at Green Kings Pine Hospital.

You're listed as next of kin to Cheryl Luria.

What happened?

Oh, the hospital.

I hope you bleed to death, Cheryl. And if you don't, I'll come for you.

Before you talk, you should listen to who's on the other side of the line,

motherfucker.

Oh, the daughter.

How appropriate.

Is she dead yet?

No, but you are.

You should ask your mother about all the ways she betrayed you.

Ask her about... Leland, I just realized what you're most afraid of.

What?

Unity.

Come,

we need to talk. I'm sorry, I didn't know you wouldn't be here.

I don't even know if I'm serious about religion. I just don't like the way the

kids at school go on and on about... Listen.

You can't ever forge my name.

Sorry.

This is my compromise.

I'm going to let you talk to Sister Andrea, but only at our house and only

me present. You don't have to. I want you to hear both sides. If this is

a decision for you, then I want you to consider it like an adult.

Do you understand?

Yes. Good.

Now, I'll call her, and I'm going to set up a time for tomorrow.

Good? I have to get this. How's grandma doing?

Um, recovering.

Okay, good.

Hey, Ben, what's up?

What are you wearing?

What?

Tonight in the train engine.

My guess is it's going to be cold.

Oh, the haunted train.

Right. I didn't know we were doing that. Yeah, yeah. We got permission from the

union to ride with tires, find out if there are any issues.

Right. Well, um, I can't make it. My mom.

Oh. Oh, yeah. All right. Sorry. How are you?

Well, she's got 36 ditches, but the doctor thinks she can go home tomorrow,

I'll have to help.

Can you explain it to David?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No worries.

You know, I just... You just...

You just... Kristen, can I call you

back?

Hey, uh, did you move your stuff into my apartment?

No. Did you want me to? No, no.

Someone broke into my apartment and left the stuff.

That's not how burglars work, Ben.

But even if I don't call you back in five minutes, call the cops.

Where'd you get that soap? It smells like a rodeo.

Renee.

Ben.

How you doing?

You need more closet space.

I am going to move some of these sweatshirts into drawers, if that's all

I'll fold them. Um, Renee?

Look, if you want to keep your sweatshirts on wire hangers, that's

it's much better if you fold it.

Okay, you're going to have to help me out here, Renee.

Sure. What?

Are you moving in?

Oh, God.

I knew it.

You're weirded out seeing all our stuff together. No, no. I just, um, did I ask

you... To move in.

Yes.

Look, if you're changing your mind, just change it.

Don't blame it on some magical gin, okay?

I gotta go to work.

But we can talk about this later?

Throw my stuff wherever you want.

Can't take any sick days?

Can't now.

Drop below 10 points.

What do you mean?

Every engineer starts out with 30 points.

You take an unauthorized sick day, they dock you 10 points.

What happens when you get to zero?

They replace you.

That's the problem with seeing things on the track.

Every time I stop the train without cause, I'm docked another 5 points,

It's good you guys are here.

You see something, too? I can put that in my report to the station master.

Where do you usually see something?

On the tracks?

It's always in the same place.

It's coming up now.

The depth stretch.

This mile of trestle. It's always the same place.

Hold on!

What was it? The girl with the progress!

You didn't see her?

No.

I must have missed it.

Hang on the last 50 yards of the word

Now I get out, I inspect the tracks, I take photos to show them I'm not nuts,

but, uh... There won't be anything.

And you guys didn't see anything, so... They'll say, of course he's nuts.

Sorry, Thomas, I wasn't looking, man.

You want us to come, too?

Sure, just be careful.

Hey, we're on a double track out here.

I'm required to go back at least two train lengths to see if I hit anything,

I'll be right back.

You want us to come too?

No, you just stay.

All right.

This is spooky.

What's that?

Don't play games. I'm not in the mood.

I'm not.

There.

It's a signal light.

No, next to it.

Okay, we're asked to stay here, but sure, let's not do that.

Before I started working with you, I was a normal person, right?

Don't question my sanity.

You're questioning your sanity?

I don't know.

Just like knowing what is what.

Who are you?

What are you seeing?

What was it?

No idea.

Hey.

You see where we are?

Yes.

Ben, what's up?

Kristen, walk out to your backyard.

Why?

You and me. Look up.

Ben, what's going on? Hang it up now. Just do it.

Florida Junction.

Where's that?

Jersey somewhere.

Took an Uber back.

So, um, you saw something on the back?

Problem just grew.

Mm -hmm. He's every time over your house.

Over my house?

And I saw something crawl down here. Something with horns.

I'm not sure what it was. Oh, come on.

Do I have to deal with this now? We're not saying the issue is here. It could

your neighbors.

That's where we did the last exorcism. Well, she moved out two weeks ago.

What? Why?

I don't know.

She said the noise, she either means us or the train.

I hate to encourage David, but what is that?

Was that there yesterday?

I don't know.

Could be an animal.

I think we need to assess the whole duplex, Krista. Oh, come on. I mean,

your engineer. Don't blame me.

Tyra sees something evil dragging that prom girl every time he passes over

tracks. Yeah, but that's his problem.

I don't want my house investigated.

I think we need to look.

What do you mean, look? With the app.

No, it's so stupid. No, it's not.

Check

the

corner. See if the demon is there.

It's always in the corner. I'm going to look in the corner.

How does this even work?

Cold spots.

Yeah, ghosts are cold. Like fluctuations in magnetic fields.

It's weird. You just gotta like...

Detected.

Wait, it's behind you.

Turn around. Turn around.

It's always by your side.

Just turn around.

Entity found.

Can we ask a question or something?

Okay. What do you ask? This is stupid, you guys.

There's nothing there.

Will you hurt us?

Wait, it's in the hallway. Follow it.

How do they even hear your voice? How do they even hear your voice? Okay, you're

yelling. This is not how you find ghosts. Where is it?

It could have just disappeared, so it's probably here somewhere. I don't know.

It went away because you guys were so loud.

I'm going to check the kitchen.

Okay. Why? I have a theory that there are, like, ghosts and demons in the

kitchen. I've seen it in, like, TV shows and stuff, so.

Okay. I think it just, like, makes sense. Well, it doesn't look like

anything in here that I can see, at least.

Turn it. Turn it on.

Okay.

Detected. It's coming, it's coming. Is that the same one from before? No, it's

way bigger and scarier. It's going to get up. Okay, then ask it. Ask it again.

Will you hurt us?

We need an exorcism of the house.

No, we don't. We heard Father Acosta talking about some demon, and we're

Mom. Something's going on. We had bats. Bleeding toilets. Sister Andrea went

through here killing demons.

Okay, that's not what happened.

Did you see demons?

No, but she did.

Look, I like Sister Andrea, and I think she's quite sincere.

But she sees things that aren't there. The demons aren't visible to us, Mom,

they're still there. No, baby, no. Listen.

Sister Andrea sees psychological issues as demons.

It's as simple as that.

If somebody's depressed, she'll see the depression as a demon. If people are

having trouble in their marriage, she'll see that as a ghost.

That's all.

But it doesn't make ghosts and demons real. It just...

It makes the emotions real.

But, Mom, we went around the house with an app on my iPad, and it said there was

demons. Yeah, it was really scary, Mom. Okay, the only thing that's scary about

that is that you just gave the designer of that app a tour of our entire house

so they can figure out what to sell us.

What do you mean?

Well, the app's free, right?

It's not free so that they can help you hunt ghosts. It's free so that they can

figure out what we own and try to sell us more stuff.

If you don't believe me, just look at your phone tomorrow. Look at your text.

Look at VidTab. See what advertisements pop up on the side. My guess is going to

be for stuff that they want you to buy to put in your room.

Look, I want you girls to be realists. I don't think it's healthy to believe in

ghosts and demons.

Then why do you perform exorcisms? I don't. An exorcist does. But why do you

agree?

Because I think it's a healthy ritual.

I think it can help some people.

And it acts as a placebo.

You know,

dad's gone.

Okay, well now you're playing me.

This is what we're going to do. I am going to ask Father Acosta to come to

house and perform a ritual in each room.

Is that like an exorcism?

Yep, that's a minor exorcism. Why a minor one if we've clearly got major

problems? Okay, it's just what they call it.

Quit while you're ahead, okay, girls? I just said yes. So we'll say thank you,

and that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Peterson.

I think Sister Angie should come, too.

Okay. Yeah.

I'll think about it.

Okay.

I'm seeing the gin.

Continue.

When I was in the particle accelerator?

Stupid. Stupid. I know. We've already covered that. I was hit by a gold ion

beam. And then for some reason, I've started seeing a jinn.

And I've started making decisions unconsciously.

What does that mean? I'm making phone calls I don't remember making.

I'm making commitments that I don't understand.

Go back to your doctor.

I did. There's nothing wrong neurologically. It seems like I'm just

images.

From our youth?

Or... Okay,

I know that voice.

Ben, you had a quantum beam shot through your head and lived.

You're an experiment in physics right now.

You're so stuck in your atheistic ways that you won't even acknowledge the

overlap you represent. What overlap? Religion and science.

You're not seeing a figment of your imagination.

You're seeing a djinn. Karima, stop trying to convert me. Just help me. You

think religion is just too bizarre to be real?

So, let's talk the many worlds interpretation.

Oh, my God, Renee. I said it was after the same thing.

Maybe she's right.

Dad used to get migraines, didn't he?

Yeah. Why?

So, after I see the gin, I feel a migraine coming on, like my head is

squeezed.

How did Dad get rid of them?

He never talked to you about this?

No.

Well, maybe.

I don't remember doing my rebellious stage.

You should talk to him.

I'm talking to you.

Why have you been so cagey?

I don't think I am.

It's just... Mom and Dad weren't very happy then.

Dad would get migraines and go out at night, and Mom thought he was using them

as an excuse.

What?

Talk to Dad.

No, what are you talking about?

Dad was cheating.

What? And Mom thought he was using the migraines as an excuse.

Wasn't a very happy time.

Oh, my God.

Blowing my mind right now.

I can't help it if you're oblivious.

Talk to Dad.

You think the migraines were an excuse?

I don't know.

But...

After Mom died, his migraines went away.

This. You take one every hour.

And this you can take for pain, but don't exceed four a day. Thank you. It's

nice to be babied.

Wait.

What, Mom?

I just have to say... No, you don't. I'm sorry.

And after I unwind a few things, I can tell you more.

Please, Kristen.

Oh, God.

Can I please just give you a hug? No, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

I'll risk it. It's okay. Look, I'm helping you because you're injured, but

nothing's changed.

Okay.

But I swear, Kristen, I will earn your trust back.

Thank you for coming, sister. You're welcome.

Thank you.

Oh, where's Dr.

Bouchard? Hello, sister.

Would you like a marzipan cookie?

Well, I would.

Thank you. How did you know that I... Lynn.

Yes? I know you don't like that I'm here right now. Oh, sister, I am

compromising with everyone in my life these days, so this is just another

accommodation.

Now... Where would you like to start?

So is the whole point of this to make it spookier?

We clear a room, Ben, to prevent the demons from returning by blessing each

corner. And that's where you turn off the lights? No, demons are more likely

appear if the lights are off.

So demons take their rules from horror movies.

Hmm. I don't know how to answer that one, Ben.

So I won't.

Am I doing the right thing?

Letting her up there?

I don't know.

Everything I do these days makes me humble.

I thought I knew what I believed.

I thought I knew what I wanted.

Life is a fucking mystery.

Is it the world or our job?

I don't know.

You know how many mass shootings there were last year?

647.

We're not even halfway through the year yet, but 647 mass shootings.

Yeah.

Meaning? Meaning people are going nuts.

People are evil.

I don't know why.

It's not scientific.

I just think.

That is the way they are.

I just found out that my dad was cheating on my mom for years and using

excuse of his migraines.

Really?

How did he do that? I don't know. I guess he thought that having pain gave

certain privileges.

I'm sorry, man.

Parents are difficult.

Any demons up there?

Just a few trails.

They're gone.

We need to do the basement.

Why? The bats came from down there.

Right.

What's that?

I don't know. It's always been there. The bats came from down there. Sister,

No, it's all right.

It's in there.

Here. Sister, let me go in.

I have to, David. It won't show itself to you. Sister, I can't let you go in

alone. We need to draw it out.

I'll yell if there's any problem.

Who are you, demon?

I am Lu.

Are you haunting the house, Lu?

No, just resting.

Is this the path to hell?

Why? You want to go?

Answer me.

Deliver us, O Lord, by your holy resurrection, by your wondrous

doesn't work down here.

Deliver us, O Lord, by your baptism, by your holy fasting. Sister, believe me,

you can't hurt me here, but I can you.

Thank you, thank you. How did this happen? Did you find any demons?

Girls, to bed. I'll talk to you later.

Go!

Mom, are you kidding?

Why is that there?

I don't know. It's part of the house.

The contractor was supposed to close it up, but... Why did he not?

I don't know.

He's a contractor.

Close it up. It's only a few feet deep.

It's deeper.

What is it, sister? You and I can talk later. I really need to urge you to

this up now.

Okay. I mean, I can call a contractor tomorrow.

How fast can you do it, Ben?

As soon as I get the bricks.

Well, there's bricks in the church yard. They've been there for five years.

What burned you down there?

Well, you're not going to believe me, so there's no use in saying. I'm just

going to stay right here tonight.

What? No. Why?

This house needs protection.

It's under attack.

Sister, it's freezing down here. I'll be fine.

This is important.

It's like I'm right back in Catholic school.

If no one tells me what to do, I won't fucking do it.

Eventually no, I'm good We know about you, but none who can see us.

Oh good.

I Like being known Won't end well for you.

I Have God on my side it will Everything all right down there. Yeah,

I Heard voices really more than one boy. Uh, no,

just one. Oh

Here. Oh, thank you.

And I made some more cookies.

Oh, well, thank you.

You don't need to stay. I'm fine.

I know.

Lynn's a good kid.

I know.

She's got a bright future ahead of her. She is smart, and she cares, and...

She could make a difference in this world.

I agree.

It's just that the thought of her mopping floors,

giving up her will to men.

I don't give up my will.

There's a nun I met in a silent monastery, Fanna, and she was so

young and so full of life and...

Everything that made her fun, God seemed to want her to turn off.

And I just, I can't imagine Lynn that way.

Or actually, I can't imagine it, and that's the problem.

It hurts my heart.

I can't change your mind, Doctor.

You don't have to call me Doctor anymore.

I can't change your mind, Kristen.

Some people live their lives in the service of others, and that becomes

pleasure. That becomes their fun.

Even if others use them?

Yes, I can't stand idiots.

A lot of priests I serve are idiots.

But God throws challenges at you to make you better and smarter and stronger.

I won't abuse your trust, Krista.

I think your daughter is smart enough to know the difference between truth and

falsehood. So I will not try and sway her toward the vocation.

I'll just answer her questions and yours.

Every year I swear I want less religion in my life. Every year I seem to end up

with more.

God probably loves you.

Well, if he did.

He'd leave me alone.

Oh, yeah, that's probably the bricks.

I'll wait here. Okay.

Oh,

no, please.

Oh, oh, sorry, sorry.

Where were you, babe?

Building a wall.

At 2 a .m.? Well, it was a wall to block off the gates of hell.

Oh, okay then. Hey, watch out.

Sorry, I was organizing those.

So,

what kind did you get?

What kind?

Candles.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You said you were going to get scented candles.

I said what?

I knew you'd forget. Don't worry about it. I'll get some tomorrow.

Come here.

When did I say I would get scented candles?

Well, it doesn't matter. I'll buy some tomorrow. No.

When did we talk about getting scented candles?

Um, after lunchtime around two. Why?

No,

I wasn't here at two o 'clock.

No, on the phone.

You called me.

No, you called me.

What is going on? What are you doing?

I'm just checking my calls because my phone tracks all of my calls.

Oh, my God. Do you think I'm gaslighting you?

What?

I don't know. No, I'm just... That's why I'm checking.

Ben, you can go fuck yourself.

What? I'm just looking at my phone.

And I didn't call you. According to my phone, I didn't call you.

You have issues, buddy.

First, you have trouble remembering inviting me to move in, and now you

I'm making something up. I'm just wondering why I would agree to something

seems so odd to me, that seems so opposite of me.

Go to hell, then.

Decide whatever you want. I'll come back for my shit.

Whoa, Ben did that?

Last night.

And no more demons?

Sister Andrea said no. Do you believe her?

Yes.

I don't know how you did it, but, uh, it's over.

It's gone. So, no more girl in a prom dress?

Oh, no more anything.

Yeah, last three nights I didn't stop the train once. And I, uh, I didn't see

anything on that trestle. The death stretch. Oh.

I thought that's great news.

Oh, I'm even getting my points back. I'm back up to 30.

Oh, congratulations.

Well, I mean, you look much happier, too.

Right, Ben?

Yeah.

Well, I just wanted to say thank you very much.

You know, God bless you guys. You guys are legends.

So welcome.

Thanks.

Well, that felt good. Yeah?

Another notch in the win column.

How many wins is that?

Four?

The answer is no.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

You are a nightmare.

I don't know what you want from me, Ben. Renee, I told you from the beginning.

I'm bad at commitment. Then stop calling me and pleading for me to stay.

When did I do that?

Noon.

I'm so sorry about last night.

I pushed you away. I was a jerk. I got scared.

I am so sorry.

Please come back.

Because I just can't live without you.

And that is unbelievable.
