Original subtitles

Abel says there's a swamp monster.

Well, you don't know this place.

There's stuff there... bad stuff.

It was our eggs.

They took our eggs.

Some of us got infected.

Some of us became sterile.

It's not her. The body in Minnesota.

It's someone else.

She's not dead.

She already hurt a girl here. Jess Cairns.

She will never hurt anyone else again.

I'm making sense of things,

and I'm starting to remember.

Can you tell me about Theresa?

You think I'm gonna let you keep his baby?

Before it was you and him,

it was me and him,

and it's always gonna be me and him.

It's okay.

No, no, no.

That won't help you.

Get away from me.

I'll kill you. I'll kill you!

I will tear you to pieces!

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

I just want to talk to you.

Okay?

And then...

And then I'm... I'm gonna go.

It doesn't have to be so bad, okay?

Just tell me what I want to know.

Okay?

Hey, hey. Just open your eye.

-Alright?

Let me get in this peeper.

Okay. Okay, that's good, that's good.

That's good.

People with nothing to hide

don't wear lenses, Emma-Karen.

No!

You don't have any options...

Emma-Karen.

This will all be so much easier if you just...

relax.

You want to start?

My boss has a lot of questions for you.

Your boss?

So, you took Mrs. Barlow's daughter,

and you killed her with your boyfriend?

- No. - Yeah. You did.

You... You helped him with all of his women.

No. I never helped him.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

You've been lied to.

She doesn't lie.

Misled. She's misled you.

I loved Kit.

I loved him.

That's all I did.

I never took her daughter.

- Shut up. - I didn't help him.

I didn't know. I didn't do anything.

Shut up!

It's true.

Everything she's told you about me...

- It's her daughter. - Shut up!

You don't have to be this person.

You don't have to do this.

Yeah, but, look.

If I let you go,

you're gonna tell on me.

Yes, Emma-Karen, yes, you will.

You'll pick up the phone the minute I walk out that door.

You're gonna call the police.

You're gonna say what I look like and where I am,

and then they're gonna put me back

in that stinking place again.

I won't do that.

I won't.

Because I know what it's like

to be on the inside of that place

when you don't deserve to be.

I know that, John.

I wouldn't do that to you.

I wouldn't do that to you.

Do you promise?

I promise.

That's a frightened promise.

Don't lie to me.

My God.

Karen? Karen? Can you hear me?

Karen?

Karen.

Look who I brought to see you.

Come with us.

We can be a family.

Karen, can you hear me?

Karen, wake up.

He's here.

No, no one's here. It's just me.

He's here.

It's gonna be okay.

Don't leave. Don't leave. No.

Pick him up.

I can't.

Pick him up.

I can't touch him anymore.

You sent a rapist to hunt me down?

You were a monster.

I needed another one to find you.

Yeah, well, you found me, too.

Did you take her?

My daughter?

'Cause I can't go on without knowing.

Tell me the truth.

What do you think I'm gonna do?

I'm a hair stylist.

I...

I braid and highlight and cut bangs.

I don't murder and abduct women.

You can love someone and not know.

Or you can love him and love what he did.

I'm talking about you.

What?

You love your daughter.

You don't know anything about her.

Everything you put at my door... everything...

Everything you thought was me...

was her.

You said you didn't know her.

She walked into my salon.

She'd been watching me.

So, you're the victim?

You want to know the truth?

She was with Kit

before he was with me.

Bullshit.

Your picture, the gas station in Nevada,

that was them...

falling in love.

-Bullshit!

No cellphone, no credit card, no bank withdrawals,

no contact with anyone at anytime.

She didn't need it!

You think my daughter just fell in love

and ran away

and didn't bother to call me?

You think I believe that for a second?

That is not who she was!

That's who she became!

That's who she became.

Mary.

She's a murderer.

She killed that missing girl.

Amy Walker. I walked in on it.

- I saw it. - My daughter is a murderer?

My daughter is the kindest girl you would ever know.

You think I'm gonna believe that for a minute?

You're just saying that to save yourself.

She tried to kill me.

-She did.

And what happened that night, it's what blocked my memories.

But they've come back to me now in pieces,

in these, like, nightmares.

If your daughter is still out there, Mary,

God help anyone who comes across her.

Don't say that. Don't you say that.

Your daughter, she's the monster.

She ruined my life.

You ruined your own life when you fell for him.

All those people you talked to about Theresa...

did they tell you what she would say?

How she... How she tried to...

quit swimming and you wouldn't let her?

I didn't make her swim.

No, you did. You did.

You liked being the booster.

You liked her being a champion.

For her.

Not for me.

She was 13 when it started.

She was eight.

You don't even have your story straight.

I'm not talking about swimming.

And every time she wanted to quit,

you made her go back.

You made her go back to it.

No.

No.

Not my daughter. Not my daughter.

You think you lost her seven years ago.

I think it was a long time before that.

Go ask.

Ask Honey.

She said she left everything with someone named Honey.

I don't know what that means.

All I know is I had to fight for my life

because of your daughter.

Mary.

The truth is the only way forward.

What you do,

your work,

it's about compassion.

Tell the truth, Mary.

Tell the truth.

"Beloved Theresa...

I wonder how nose piercings

would affect a blow to the face.

Of tattooing butterflies on drunk girls.

She picked the jewelry herself...

imagine how their bones

would snap after a sudden blow...

only for me to crush it to death.

that I don't love you...

smashed straight into her sinuses...

suppose I express my loving.

I'll draw you a picture in different ways.

If you ever feel down,

just think about how much better

you feel in a few months, when you leave it all behind.

Hope love is treating you better.

With love, your Kit."

Hey, Jakey, it's Mom.

Where are you?

I'm...

I'm about to bury her,

just like Daddy wanted.

But I can't do it without you. I need you.

Finally we have the truth.

Please come.

Please be here.

Hello?

Hello?

God. God.

Tom. Tom.

Tom.

- Emma. - Okay. Okay, okay.

God.

We got to go.

No, he's gone. He's gone.

It's okay. Okay.

Come here.

Okay.

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

For 300 years,

this night has commemorated the saints who watch over us...

St. Jerome,

who protects our children,

and St. James,

who protects our dead.

And now,

the queen of our festival and of our hearts.

Light it up, baby!

You did this!

You!

Where you been?

I was with a patient.

You going somewhere?

I'm gonna take a break for a while.

A break?

What are you talking about? Like a vacation?

'Cause if... if you need a vacation,

- you should discuss it... - A break from you, Pete.

I need a break from you.

She isn't lying and she isn't crazy.

Emma.

It's still happening there, at St. Jerome.

You told me it was over.

We made a promise to walk away

and to never let ourselves go back.

But I don't think you ever left, did you, Pete?

I was never in that storm shelter.

And you never lived there as a kid,

so I don't know how you would have played

war games in there.

It's not my book.

So, if it's not my book and I was never there,

then whose is it and who was in the shelter?

I know you don't believe any of this

because it's crazy.

You're building these stories in your head

that make absolutely no sense.

I don't know if we'll be back.

For seven years, I have turned to you

and shared every hope,

every fragile shred of information

that could lead to the truth about Theresa.

Four years ago, when Christopher Parker

and Karen Miller were arrested,

I thought, "Finally...

Finally, I would have my answer."

And when Christopher Parker took his own life, I was...

I was scared that the truth would die with him.

But I didn't...

I couldn't give up.

So, I kept... I kept going, I kept believing that,

that the woman who shared his life

had to know something more,

had... had to know what happened.

And I was right.

Because today I got my answer.

Karen Miller...

Karen Miller

brutally attacked me

after confessing to the killing of Amy Walker

and many, many others.

She was not only complicit in the crimes

of Christopher Parker, she was willing and active.

Who knows how many other acts of violence she has committed?

Karen Miller is... is... is dangerous and violent

and living in the town of St. James, Louisiana,

under the new name of Emma Hall.

And I demand justice now

for Karen Miller to answer for these crimes

and for the disappearance of my daughter,

Theresa Elizabeth Barlow.

She was not only complicit in the crimes

of Christopher Parker, she was willing and active.

Karen Miller is dangerous and violent

and living in the town of St. James, Louisiana,

under the new name of Emma Hall.

She's lying.

No, she's lying. She's lying.

She's lying.

Emma...

No, I have to go. God. God! She's lied!

And we'll prove it.

- No. - We'll prove it.

No, I have to go. I can't be here anymore.

No. No. No. No.

Emma, you're not leaving me.

You can't go.

I can keep you safe.

Trust me.

I will keep you safe.

You can't.

No one can.

This is Emma. Leave me a message.

She's come back.

Jess. She's all wet

and she's bloated from the swamp,

and I didn't want to hurt her.

I just wanted to shut her up

and make her stop talking about my daddy.

You don't need to talk to her.

I'm gonna make everything go away.

You understand me?

I did it for you, Daddy.

I know you did.

She was saying those terrible things about you,

about things you've done.

You brought pain on yourself to honor your daddy.

And now I'm gonna honor you.

They were all lies, weren't they, Daddy?

They were all lies.

God forgive you for what you've done.

Get away from her.

Don't you take her.

You are not fit to raise her.

You said they were all lies.

Saul.

No.

No.

Jakey...

No, no, no.

You swore her body would never come back.

But here she is, back up for all to see.

Now I got to put things right.

I got to go see your girl

'cause she's gonna take the fall, you understand me?

She's gonna take the fall

for how you messed this up.

What do you mean "my girl"?

You brought a child-killer to the bayou, Peter.

Who do you think I mean?

Don't you touch her.

I've done everything you ever asked me to do.

Everything.

I want out of this.

I want out of this, Bodie.

You're never getting out.

Neither is she.

Karen Miller?

Come on, now.

It's gonna be alright.

I know you can't live with what you did to that little girl,

so I'm gonna deliver you.

Karen.

Come on now, Karen Miller.

It's gonna be alright.

Come to Jesus, baby.

No, you come to Jesus...

Baby.

Wasn't sure you'd come.

Last time I saw you, you were so...

angry at me and my actions.

Mary, that was about you in the context of the swim team,

not you as a person.

So, you were just protecting the girls?

Yeah, that's all I ever try to do.

But none of that matters.

I saw the press conference. My God.

Just tell me what you need from me.

I want to show you something.

It's, um, it's a journal

of my daughter's.

Theresa kept a journal?

Can I help you?

I'm Karen.

Esther said that... that you would keep her safe,

and I am so grateful.

I just...

I just want to see her.

Even if it's just five minutes.

You don't have to tell her who I am.

I don't want to unsettle her. I just need to...

I just need to see her. Please.

No, no, she warned me about this.

She said you'd come and you'd say this.

Who... Who said that? Esther?

No.

I'm taking about Freya's birth mother, Karen.

No, I'm Karen.

I'm Karen. No. No. No.

- Karen came last week... - I'm Karen.

To take her home, just like Esther wanted.

I'm Karen.

- This is Karen. - I'm Karen.

- No, I'm Ka... - This is Karen.

Karen's been visiting Freya since she was tiny.

Freya's gone.

Freya!

Freya!

Freya!

Where is she? Our baby?

I asked you to bring her.

She's safe.

Well, I need to see her.

You can't.

Kit, I saw her.

I saw that woman.

Her skull was...

was beaten in.

You can't ever tell.

Then we lose everything.

You, me, our baby girl.

Please.

Karen, promise me you have her safe.

Now you need to forget her.

Forget us.

Suspect, get on the ground.

Face down. Stay down.

Then you'll never be safe.

Neither will she.

Never.

Never.

You are what I lost all those years ago.

You are what I've been trying to get back to.

I won't lose you again.

I won't have you hear the lies,

have you believe what others say about me.

I'm not the person they've made me into.

Their lies have made a nightmare of my life,

and now I'll make a nightmare of theirs.

And I will find you,

no matter what I have to do.

Did I ever tell you you look just like your daddy?

You say that every time.

It's just you and me now, for always.
