Today's the day.

She's coming back.

I can feel it.

Everything will be ready.

But different from before.

Not like last time.

Nothing like last time.

She'll be safe now.

Mom.

You have to come
down and eat something.

Ana's favorite.

You didn't set a place for her.

Because she's gone, Mom.

And she's not coming back.

That's not true!

I'll just save mine for her.

Mom,

I have to tell you something.

You're not gonna like it,
but I need you to know.

I knew she'd come back!

Mom, stop. Mom.

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Helstrom?

Yes.

I'm Dr. Meyer with the
Behavioral Health Department.

I'd like to talk with you.

But I... I can't leave.

My son...

Today's the day.

She's coming back.

I can feel it.

Everything will be ready.

But different from before.

Not like last time.

She'll be safe now.

- Mom...
- Not true!

I have to tell you something.

Mrs. Helstrom.

I'd like to talk with you.

But I... I can't leave.

Today's the day.

She's coming back.

Everything will be ready.

Not like last time.

Nothing like last time.

- Professor Helstrom?
- Jesus!

Bryce.

What are you...

What are you doing here?

I thought we said that
it probably wasn't best

that we talk to each other.

I know. It's just

I've been having a
hard time with... all of it.

All of my brothers are dead.

They said it was an
electrical fire. But...

I remember the bodies,

the blood,

before it all burned down.

Before waking up in your place.

Did I kill them?

No.

No. Of course not. The... the
thing that did that to your friends...

It's... it wasn't your fault.

It wasn't you.

I'm gonna have to
drop out of school.

No, you don't want to do that.

Why not?

Because it's your future
we're talking about.

I am gonna... I'm gonna
have someone call you.

A doctor who takes care
of these kind of things.

What the hell good
is that gonna do?

If I tell a doctor, she'll
lock my ass away.

That's why you told me
to lie to the cops, isn't it?

It's... one of several
reasons, actually.

Some ethics professor.

- Look, I know that this isn't ideal...
- Forget it.

- No, wait, hold on.
- Look, man,

I can't eat.

I can't sleep.

Every time I close my
eyes, the stuff that I see...

That thing was inside me.

I... I ca... I can't begin to
imagine what you're going through.

Obviously not.

Son of a bitch.

Kid's name is, um, Bryce.

I thought maybe you could catch
him in between classes or something.

You ever stop to think how
many of the people you've saved

feel the same way he does?

Don't you feel a certain
responsibility to them?

Well, Hastings usually
deals with this part.

But I figured since
you're in the field now,

you gotta start someday, right?

So you just exorcise the demon,

and then it's out of
sight, out of mind for you.

I mean, do you really think I should
be the one holding their hands,

lying to them, saying their recovery is
gonna be all sunshine and rainbows?

I mean, if you're not
feeling up to it, I'm...

It's fine.

You're right.

Whoa, that actually
looked a little painful.

Are you all right?

Yup.

Like you said,

I have to start someday.

Victoria, it's time to get up.

Unlock it.

No games.

Get help. Now!

Today's the day.

She's coming back.

I can feel it.

Everything will be ready.

But different from before.

Ana's favorite.

You didn't set a place for her.

Because she's gone, Mom.

And she's not coming back.

That's not true!

I'll just save mine for her.

Mom,

I have to tell you something.

You're not going
to like it, but.

I need you to know that...

Mom?

I knew she'd come back!

Mom, stop. Mom.

I'm sorry.

Mommy.

Where's the fire? I busted
my ass getting over here.

I had a gorgeous woman
with the hands of a welterweight

going to town on my arches.

Self-care is important.

You should try it sometime.

It's Mom.

Obviously.

Hastings found her on the floor of
her room this morning. Unresponsive.

- She's probably faking.
Wouldn't be the first time.

She's in a coma.

We don't know why.

I felt it too.

What is it?

It's the skull.

I thought Yen had it.

So what? He's here?

Your favorite.

You must be starving.

Button,

what happened out there?

Your father,

did he hurt you?

How did you get away?

I hit Daddy and ran.

One... two... three

four...

None of this makes any sense.

How did you get away from him?

He's too strong.

Daimon, she's scared.

We can talk about this later.

You know what he is.

What he did.

One... two... three...

Come on, Ana. Just tell us
how the hell you got away.

Watch your mouth!

Leave your sister alone.
She's been through enough.

- Button, it's okay, it's only thunder.
- Outside. Outside!

- Mom, protect me.
- Shh!

Mom, no. No!

Honey, Mommy's
not going anywhere.

See? Only lightning
playing tricks.

It's scary, but it
can't hurt you in here.

He's coming.

No sign of him outside.

- Any luck?
- Just the bad kind.

48 hours' worth.

And just like I suspected, he
never set foot inside the building.

Why would he come
all the way here?

The skull's done
something to him, obviously.

I touched it, felt it. It's

not like banging your funny
bone on the table, it's powerful.

And if it had that
kind of effect on me,

on us, imagine what
it could do to Chris.

What does it want?

Contain evil.

Yes, our father. Not her.

Maybe some demon
wiring got crossed.

Or

It's the fruit of
the poisoned tree.

Think about it. The Keeper's
bound by a blood oath.

Your father marked your mother.
That's how she was possessed.

So his energy is.

- It's a part of her.
- Exactly.

And us.

Unfortunately, your mother's
not as strong as you two are.

So the closer that
Keeper skull gets,

the worse it's gonna be for her.

We need to find Yen. Now.

Well, it's not like I can just
whistle and he'll respond.

We've looked everywhere.

If he's not in the building,
then where the hell is he?

Pretty sure we've already
covered this ground.

Not necessarily.

When I found your mother,

she was digging this.

Like she was trying
to get to something.

How do we get down there?

Be honest:

What happens to Yen after
this Keeper thing is done

using him as its puppet?

That depends.

- On what?
- On what's left of him.

Wow. You should give a TED Talk.

It's, like, truly motivating.

I'm tingling.

You wanna give me
some kind of broad idea

of what we're dealing with here?

Homicidal tendencies?
Split personalities?

Laser beam eyes? You're
the one who deals with this shit.

Well, seeing as this
thing convinced Chris Yen

to stroll through rat
crap and medical waste

in his $1,300 Tom Ford loafers,

gonna say that it's pretty bad.

Yeah, he also
killed a guy, but...

Yeah, that too.

I think my sister and I can
handle one Yen-sized person,

so you wanna sit this one out?

Unless you got some other
reason to wanna tag along?

'Course I do.

That Yen-sized person,

I'm willing to bet that she values
saving his skin a lot more than yours.

Or your mother's.

I think you need all
the help you can get.

And I'm the one who deals
with this shit, remember?

Bryce?

Who are you?

My name's Gabriella.

I'm a friend of
Professor Helstrom.

He asked me to see you.

You a shrink?

Not quite, no.

I'm a novitiate.

A nun in training.

Great. So, he sends
me an almost nun.

No, thanks.

I can help you.

I'm not much of a church
person. That crap can't help me.

Look, what you experienced
goes way beyond the Church.

I know because
I've seen it firsthand.

I know what Daimon...
Professor Helstrom can do.

And I know about the demon.

Yo, keep your voice down.

Look, just leave me alone, okay.

You weren't the first.

That entity that possessed
you, I faced it before.

Before?

So, if it possessed
someone before me

and it still survived,
that means it's,

it's still out there?

- It could come back?
- It's complicated.

What I'm trying to say
is you're not alone in this.

I can't go through
that shit again.

You don't understand
what it did to me.

Then help me understand.

Help me stop this from happening
again. Not just to you, but to others.

Nothing to be scared of, see?

When I was a little girl,

whenever the power
went out during a storm,

my mother and I, we'd light
as many candles as we could

and stay up all
night, telling stories,

reading by the candlelight,

pretending like we
lived in olden times.

And whenever I got
scared of the thunder,

she'd say it was just
God bowling up in Heaven.

That's not what thunder is, Mom.

It's the noise from hot air
expanding after a lightning strike.

We learned about
it in science class.

Well, thank you,
Professor Helstrom.

I don't think that version
is as comforting, though.

But it's the truth.

And the truth is more important.

It's okay, sweetie.

Sounds like God just
bowled himself a strike.

What is that?

Screw the candles.

I'm going to check
the circuit breaker.

Daimon, no!

We don't go in the basement.
What is the matter with you?

I'm just trying to help.

I can't see, Mom.

Come here.

What's happening?

Ana,

where's your brother?

Daimon?

Daimon?

I don't care what kind
of power this thing has,

if it's killing Mom,

even by accident,
then we're destroying it.

So we sacrifice our
only weapon against Dad

for a woman who's been
practically dead for years.

Got it.

Yeah. She's right.

You want your father gone,

the skull's the only option.

Wow,

you're taking her side?

Wonder why that is. Maybe because
it's the side that benefits you the most.

It benefits all of us.

Hey, if you two are
done measuring dicks,

you might want
to check this out.

He was here.

Are you sure?

You know any homeless people
with a taste for Yellerby Foie Gras?

Chris.

Well, well, well.

Somebody ran out of foie gras.

Jesus!

Ana?

Ana.

In here, Mommy.

Daimon? Where is he?

Did you see him?

We can play a
game while we hide.

Button, we can't play now,
we have to find your brother.

No, we don't. You
have to protect me.

You let Daddy take me.

Stop it, Ana.

How could you, Mommy?

How could you let him take me?

Stop this. Be quiet!

Writing in your silly book all
the time. You forgot about me.

You didn't care.

How do you know that?

How do you... My
journal was secret.

You're weak! Stupid!

You were already gone.

You couldn't know about that.

Come drink your tea now, Mommy.

You're not supposed to be here.

My Ana,

she never came home.

No! No!

No. No!

It's you.

You see this shit in movies, TV.

All these crazy stories my
Bible-thumping grandma used to tell.

But you never think it's real.

And I mean, it's not even
like that, though. There's no

devils with pitchforks. No
green vomit, holy water.

- It's just...
- So you knew what was happening to you?

No,

I mean, not at first, but.

The demon itself,

did you ever see it?

No.

You're sure?

I might've seen it...

I felt him in there with me.

- Always there but...
- Did you communicate with him?

No.

- Or did he...
- I don't know!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to...

I just want to understand.

Imagine waking up and
reliving your worst moment

again and again.

That's what it was like.

And I'm not talking about
the day your dog dies,

but when you were at your worst.

When you gave into the
darkest parts of yourself.

That's what it made me see.

Made me feel. Again and again.

And if I tried to change what
happened, it would just start all over.

It's like it knew
exactly how to hurt me.

It wasn't real.

- It was...
- Torture.

I have no doubt about that.

You think you know what's real.

You live your life believing
the world is a certain way,

and then, suddenly it just
isn't what you thought anymore.

Even when you try to help,

it only makes it worse.

You realize that sometimes
there are no good answers.

It's going to be
all right, Bryce.

Professor Helstrom and I won't
let anything happen to you again.

You sure about that?

It's been you all along.

Kthara.

At least that was
my name for a time.

The person you see before
you is the last form I took.

The last time I felt
what it is to be alive.

Others denied me that existence,
so I met a rather unpleasant end.

I thought appearing
in a more pleasing form

might encourage cooperation.

If given the chance, you would
surely try to protect your own daughter.

This time.

How kind of you.

Who I was before
makes no difference now.

What's important now is
that we help each other.

You said protect you.

From what?

From the one who
did this to both of us.

Your husband.

It is him.

Out there.

Yes.

Which means
we're both in danger.

I am not the enemy, Victoria.

He put me in here, with
you, all those years ago.

This is my punishment, too.

How long has this been going on?

Long enough.

And now time is running out.

What's happening?

He's trying to get in.
To break you down.

What do we do?

I have a plan,

but I need your help.

We have to hold out
just a little bit longer.

Why the hell would I help you?

Because getting back to our
children is the only thing that matters.

We are both prisoners.

If we survive this,
Victoria, we will be free.

I will get to be with
my children again,

and you will get
to be with yours.

We must move. It's
not safe here anymore.

Victoria. It's okay.

Ana?

"We don't know what to
expect. Could be dangerous.

"We should stick together," and
what's the first thing she does?

Her own damn thing.

Don't you ever get tired of it?

Cleaning up after her?

You've had to do it a
lot more than I have.

Well, you can get
used to almost anything.

But if anybody's
tired, it's gotta be you.

Dealing with your
mother all these years...

How long you
gonna keep doing it?

As long as it takes.

How long can Victoria, then?

I don't see any bushes
down here to beat around,

so if you wanna
get to your point?

There are other ways.

She doesn't have to suffer
like this, and neither do you.

Or Dr. Hastings,
for that matter.

There are ways to make
your mother more comfortable.

At least until...

Destroying that skull is
not gonna save her, Daimon.

It is only gonna put
other people at risk

and make your father
that much harder to stop.

And if by some miracle, you
manage to pull that demon out her,

it'll only be like winning a
battle while sacrificing the war.

One we're close to losing.

And all I have to do
is turn her over to you?

You and the people you work
for will take her off my hands

and provide the
best possible care

for the family you've been
trying to kill for decades.

The family I've been
protecting for decades!

Me and Louise.

If you'd been "protecting"
us, we wouldn't be down here

looking for a one-eyed skull.

She's spiking again.

Come on.

Okay.

How much longer
are we gonna do this?

If you don't have laser
beams coming out of your eyes

by the time I find you,
I'm gonna be really pissed.

Chris

Jesus.

- Ana.
- Hey.

Chris,

what are you doing?

My god, look at you.

Look at your shoes.

This isn't you.

How would you know?

You have no idea
who I am anymore.

Stay away!

Whatever this thing is
doing to you, we can stop it.

We can go back to normal.

Normal?

You mean back to me
being your errand boy?

What? No.

No! What are you talking about?

Back off. I've got it. Back off.

Chris, listen to me.

Everything that's happened,
I didn't want to lie to you.

I'm sorry.

My dad is back.

He's coming,

and the only thing
that can stop him

is your new little friend.

So, the sooner you hand it over,

the sooner this shit ends,

and the sooner I
can take you out

for a night on the town.

Couple bottles of... Cristal,

some caviar,

oysters.

What do you say? Good old days.

You don't understand.

I can't.

I have a job now.

He needs me.

You don't.

I do need you.

But I really need that skull.

So please don't make
me hurt my best friend

just to get it back.

I'm not going back.

Okay, my turn.

I said I had it.

I am not gonna let him hurt Mom.

And I'm not gonna
let you hurt Yen.

Get out of my way, Ana.

He'll listen to me.
So just back off.

No!

There isn't time for this.
Our Mom is up there, dying.

Christ! It's not even
our mother anymore.

Why can't you just let her go?

Because it's my fault
she was committed!

Where's Chris?

We'll hide down here
until it's safe again.

My son.

It isn't real.

It's only in your mind.

It's moments from the past.
You have to ignore them.

No!

- God!
- No, not again.

I won't let you take her again!

It isn't real!

You can't change what
happened! She's gone!

But I could have... I
could've done something.

Victoria, we have to hide.

That door won't last forever.

I should have seen what he was!

Victoria, you have to help me.

We must be strong
for our children.

In this moment.

Help you?

Why would you need my help?

You have controlled
what has gone on

in my head for so long,

but now, you're weak.

That's why all of
this is falling apart.

- Victoria...
- No. All you care about is yourself.

A real mother...
sacrifices for her children.

There's no time for this.

That's not my
husband out there, is it?

It's something else.

Something you are
truly frightened of.

Something you can't control.

You do what I tell you!

Make me, bitch.

I didn't do anything back then,

but that doesn't mean I
can't do something now.

Free them of this burden.

- No, no, no, no.
Victoria, please don't go!

Like you said, I die, you die.

No! No, Victoria, please.

Please.

No!

No! No! No! No!

Shit! Dead end.

Look!

Shit!

She's going into tachycardia!

Victoria, stay with me!

That's right.

Stop!

Mom?

Kthara?

It's okay, we don't
have to do this now.

That's what she called herself.

Whoever,

whatever this thing is,

she's terrified of it.

It weakened her,

took control,

but I don't know how,

or how long. I.

All that matters is that
you're back with us now.

She used you against me.

Or the... "you" I
remember, anyway.

You've both grown so tall.

I never thought
I'd see you again.

I need it.

It needs me!

Bring it to me.

Now!

Please!

This is the best thing
for him at the moment.

The effects of that skull's going
to take some time to wear off.

It needs me.

My best friend's
brain is mush, but

hey, at least it worked out
great for Mommy Dearest.

Hey.

So, how'd it go with the kid?

These people need more
help than any of us realize.

They need to talk
about their experiences.

There's more going on
with them than you know.

I... I know it now, believe me.

It's, it's a long story, but

my mom is back.

The demon's been
placed under house arrest.

Temporarily, um, at least.

That's... a miracle.

I don't know about
that, but it's a start.

Listen, um...

There's something
I need to show you.

Can I raincheck?

I... I feel like I really
need to stay around here,

all things considered,

and unless it's a
matter of life and death...

It is.

How many are there?

Gabriella.

I should have told you sooner.

Now we're too late.
