Do you believe in monsters?

Abel says there's a swamp monster.

Who's Abel?

Something very bad happened here.

It wasn't a hallucination. It happened, Pete.

I remember the man. I'm not crazy.

You came across her, didn't you,

my friend Andrea Black?

I knew he was gonna rape me.

I know what you did, Mary.

I have a daughter.

I messed her up, too.

She is a monster. - Get out!

- Get out! Get out! - She's part of him.

They took my daughter.

You have Karen Miller?

She can tell me the truth.

No one's ever gonna find her.

I'd be safe and warm

I'd be safe and warm

- If I was in L. - A.

Come on, baby, sing with me.

- I can't see anything, Mom! - California dreamin'

- On such a winter's day

My God. Karen!

My God.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

She admits to an alcohol problem.

The mother had her drive.

They went into a ditch.

She's in custody.

I want my mom.

Looks like you're gonna stay with us for a while, Karen.

We have accommodation tonight

but we'll need to place her in foster care tomorrow.

Thanks.

No one should take a child from her mother.

Mommy!

She's back!

- Hi, little girl. - What's wrong?

Little Bitty. Ooh.

Honey! Get out here and see this!

-Hi, little Bitty.

Honey!

I missed you! Where have you been?

I'm just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm

I'm just gonna walk home

Kicking stones at parked cars

But I had a great night

'Cause you kept rubbing against my arm

Hey. Come here.

It's okay. Come here.

- No! - Come here.

It's all right.

Thank you for giving me the time off.

You take as much time as you need.

We'll be here waiting for you.

So I can adore you

You seen Tom around?

I want the entire street out of town

I adore you

My grandmother died.

I had to go say goodbye.

Or maybe you're just a liar.

Maybe everything Emma Hall ever said was just one big fat lie.

I didn't know what you'd like.

You get one for yourself?

That would be weird.

I was ready to go with you.

I was gonna leave my family, my home, this town.

You think that some candy and a keychain makes up for that?

I was sad.

People do crazy things when they're sad.

You told me some really dark shit

about bad stuff happening here,

and then you just went.

But you know what?

Maybe you're the bad stuff that's happened here.

What? - You told me my mom was right,

that it isn't safe here in Saint James.

But maybe that's because of you.

What if you're not who I thought you were?

Maybe I need to tell my dad it was you who broke my nose.

Hey. Wait.

Rose.

Rose!

Hey, I do care about you.

And it's true... something bad has happened here.

What?

Jess is dead.

And I think they know about it at St. Jerome.

I think they're lying.

How do you know? How can you be sure?

I saw her.

I saw her. I saw her dead.

No. No.

I'm trying to be honest with you.

What if it was you?

- What? - What if you hurt her?

- No. Rose, listen to me... - You hurt me.

Yes, I was protecting her. I was protecting Jess.

- What if you're lying? - I'm not.

If you've done nothing wrong, why don't you tell someone?

Because I have done something wrong.

I have.

What did you do?

I was in an accident. I hit someone, and I left.

And I can't have that come out.

So I need you not to say anything about Jess. I...

I need you to trust me, trust that I will...

I'll find out what happened.

Do you trust me?

Do you trust me?

You won't lie anymore?

I promise.

I trust you.

Not just a debt

And all that you left is debts that you don't pay

Pay, pay

Well, you need to make a quick call

Just call it a loss, but you can't just...

Your shot.

No, no, no

You can't just write me off

Thank you.

I needed a friend tonight.

Can't just write me off

You can't just write me off

You can't just write me off

No

You can't just write me

Off

You can't just write me

Off

You can't just write me off

You can't just write me off

Did you make a friend at the spa?

Although these look like more of a funeral.

I guess you mourned the loss of sugar, right?

Wow. You really did not kick that habit.

So didn't miss my moral conscience.

I don't believe you.

Who are they from?

John, where are you?

Are we gonna get into the weeds again?

Don't you just want a phone call one of these days

with some really good news?

I don't think I'm gonna get that phone call anymore, John.

And even if I did,

I don't think you're the right man to make it.

Are you suggesting that I get an assistant, have him call you?

I know of several candidates,

although I'm not sure you'd like their methods.

I'm suggesting you stop.

Okay?

I'm suggesting that this, you and me...

it's... it's over.

It's over, John.

After everything I've done?

What have you done?

I am closer than you could ever imagine.

Closer to what? To Miller?

Why don't you just stop asking questions, Mary?

Why don't you lie back and relax

and let me call you with some good news?

And I will call you, Mary. I promise.

Do you know what I think?

That you're the only one in pain?

I think you like your credit card,

you like your car,

and you don't want to go back to the grocery store

to stock shelves anymore.

I think you've strung this out just as long as you can.

And I think you don't know me.

I do.

I do.

I know what you've done,

and it scares me that nobody else does.

Turn yourself in, John.

For Andrea Black.

Turn yourself in...

before I do.

Did you like your gift?

Nobody's bought me a keychain since I was like 10.

Georgia said you lost your grandma.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

So, um, do you paint?

I draw.

I mean, not great, but, that's more my thing.

No, I mean, like, paint walls.

I'm painting my room, and...

I don't have a ladder or paintbrushes

or paint.

I wouldn't have assumed pink.

There is such a thing as too much wood.

Was it a big funeral?

We're not a big family.

What, like, your... your mom, your... your dad?

I mean, I don't know if you got any brothers

or sisters or anything?

Copy that.

Marthe LeGrande broke my heart.

Five years ago.

She married me,

left me, took my house.

She still live in this town...

Marthe LeGrande?

Whatever?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You point her out. I'll mess her up.

The pink's nice.

Yeah.

And I think she's gonna love it.

Who?

My daughter.

I have a daughter, Tom.

A beautiful, beautiful little girl.

And I can't have her with me right now,

because I went through a really dark time.

And a lot of bad stuff happened, and...

and I'm still trying to work through all of it.

What's her name?

Freya.

It's a beautiful name.

I want to make something here.

A new life.

And I wanna forget all the bad things...

all of them.

Mickey, what a pity you don't understand

You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand

Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand

It's guys like you, Mickey

What you do, Mickey, do, Mickey

Don't break my heart, Mickey

I didn't know you had a brother.

- What? - A brother!

- I... - Brother!

Hey. Ooh, sorry.

Sadie, go dance with your dad.

He's not my dad. He's my stepdad.

Go dance with him.

It was nice to meet you, John.

Here. Thank you.

Can you just put it on the table?

Hey, Sis.

Man, what have you done now?

Could I get a bottle

of your most expensive champagne, please?

- No! I... - My sister just got married.

Shh! Quiet.

No one here knows who I am, right?

I mean, Sadie doesn't even remember me.

- She's my niece. - Come on, John.

Don't do this.

It's been seven years.

What do you want me to say to her?

"Hey, baby, this is your uncle, John.

- The rapist." - Don't say that, please.

Don't call me that. I-I've worked so hard.

Look, I-I don't know, I don't know what you want from me.

But this is my wedding.

- You can't be here. - I just...

I-I just really need to talk to someone.

Why?

Here.

Um...

I, I have a job.

I'm, working for someone very important.

A lady.

What, What job?

I can't actually share the details.

- My work, it's confidential. - Screw you.

Then why-why are you even talking it about if you can't...

- Well, screw you. You asked. - Share the details?

Come on, you always were a busybody.

Thank you. Thank you.

You look beautiful.

- Thank you. - As always.

So, what are you doing for her?

Looking for someone.

Why?

Um, she may know something about something bad that happened

or she may have done something bad.

No. John, quit the job.

You're a convicted rapist, out of state.

Even if you weren't my brother,

I would be really concerned about the person employing you.

I want to be a family again.

I want to be a good uncle to Sadie,

and I-I want to meet Derek.

It's Derek, right?

I've never found baldness to be unattractive.

You, um...

You can't be in my daughter's life.

Ever.

I'm sorry.

Just, um, give up the job.

It is not, a good thing.

Stay away from women, okay?

You can't just wipe away those things you did, John.

You didn't just rape those two women, you destroyed them.

- I got to go. - Here.

No. No. It's not much. It's just a...

Card's declined.

Just, run it again.

I did. It says it's canceled.

Do you have another card, cash?

I already opened the bottle, so...

Hey, Emily. Emily.

The boosters keep talking about state... about the record.

- It's pretty exciting? - I try not to think about it.

Theresa's record isn't coming down anytime soon, Mrs. Barlow.

You don't, you don't have to say that.

She was more than a record.

For the record.

So, go for it. Really, go for it, okay?

Sure. I-I gotta go.

Of course. Of course. Bye. Bye, Emily.

Hey, Marty, how's Tammy doing?

Hi.

Mary.

Hey.

Girls looking good.

- Yeah. - Focused.

God, remember that day when Theresa swam those five races,

- won 'em all? - You know I remember everything.

You never have to remind me of any detail.

Because it is all stored right up here, every minute of it.

So you don't have to have those conversations.

I like having those conversations.

You don't have to come by anymore.

I like coming by.

Please don't come by.

Why?

I can't accept your support as a booster anymore.

The blog. The mother of that missing girl.

Just the recording that you shared,

it made a lot of people,

a lot of our parents uncomfortable, so...

I know. I mean, that whole thing got overblown.

Yeah.

I th-I think Kamala herself would admit that she...

You know, she misinterpreted my, my intentions.

Yeah, well, everybody knows what you've been through,

and-and you get a free pass from from me, okay?

That-That... That goes without saying.

But I-it's what you did.

Mary, it shows a lack of control.

It's not good for you to be here.

It's not good for us to have you here.

Look, I am one of the biggest boosters of this team.

So you tell the PTA to-to back off.

In one week, no one's gonna remember that blog,

but my checks will still clear.

It's not the PTA, it is the board.

They took a vote. It's done.

I'm sorry. I have to ask you to leave.

Look, let me walk you out.

Don't touch me.

It's over, John.

Canceling my card, Mary?!

- That was a bad move! - Go to hell.

It is not over until I say that it is over!

You get my note? No.

No note. What did it say?

That I liked you.

That's weird.

You think maybe your landlord took it?

No. I talked to him.

I think we're... straightened out.

He's still got sealed records.

It was a misunderstanding.

Some girl he got close to but not in a...

You know, it wasn't, um...

It wasn't sexual.

According to him?

I don't wanna talk about Pete.

Don't go home.

I kind of feel like we're being watched.

What?

You live by yourself?

There's enough room.

You wanna stay?

Your love line is strong...

but, like, dominant, you know,

like there's gonna be someone powerful in your life.

You can see that?

Not like a real reader, but I was at a festival once.

I learned from a shaman.

There are things to look for.

You can really see stuff.

I see this energy around you.

It could be good.

But it could be kind of dark, too.

Why don't you want to go home?

Don't you want to be found?

Emma?

I want you to stay, so if you don't like my guests,

let's just take 'em all down.

What's that?

Taxidermy needle.

That's what was in your leg?

How the hell did that...?

I was in the bayou.

You got a needle in the bayou?

You know a man called Abel?

It says "Andrew Bellevue."

I know, but I think it means something else.

You ever hear anything about a...

a swamp monster? Something dangerous?

Look, we got a bunch of folklore around here, okay?

Stories about man/creature thing out in the bayou.

- But they're just stories. - Nothing ever happened?

No girls went missing?

- This is getting weird. - Please just tell me.

Have any girls ever disappeared from here?

Years ago, you know, maybe 10,

there was a girl that was found out in the bayou, but...

I was chased out there.

A man caught me, and I felt this pain.

The...

It was the needle in my leg. I think that it's him.

I think that Andrew Bellevue is Abel.

Who's Abel?

The man who put the needle in my leg.

The swamp monster.

Emma.

Andrew Bellevue's been dead five years.

God. God.

So, Missouri? What are the highlights?

What should I see while I'm here?

If you like country music, you should probably go to Branson.

Do you like country music?

No, I'm not big into music.

There's a gas station coming up.

You can just set me down right there, and I'll...

-have a friend take me... No.

I wouldn't dream of it.

A knight in a shiny Dodge does not abandon his maiden.

It was nice enough of you to pick me up from

the side of the road.

I'll be fine from the gas station.

It's just... It's just up ahead.

Shh.

I don't want to go to the gas station anymore.

"Love is a virtuous mind that creates only peace

and happiness,

whereas attachment is never virtuous

and it only causes pain and problems."

Hello.

John?

I think I was unkind before.

I was hard on you.

Yeah, you made it pretty clear how you feel about me.

You-you scared me, John, back there.

Finding out about Andrea Black was...

I did not expect that of you.

- You didn't? - No.

I believed you when you came to my office.

I think you're that guy.

I-I was surprised to learn there were things

- about you I didn't know. - Yeah, well, ditto.

There is the not inconsequential matter of Esther.

I feel very alone right now.

I feel like you let me down, and you let her down,

and maybe you even let yourself down.

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

What do you mean?

Are you gonna say that you're sorry?

For what?

For, firing me, canceling my cards,

for being a murderer.

I hate myself for what I've done.

Yeah, and for what you made me do.

What did I make you do?

You put me back on a bad path.

You made me think things that I didn't want to think,

You made me feel things I don't want to feel.

Well, when it comes to Theresa, I have...

I have tunnel vision.

I know she's out there, somewhere,

and I all I can think about is getting to her.

But I have not been appreciative of...

all your-your good work...

your feelings.

Well, then, here we are?

I-I-I know something, and you know something.

Both-We've both got our...

our fingers on the button, like Khrushchev and Kennedy.

I'm guessing that I'm Kennedy, 'cause I-I have the hair.

Do I mean something to you?

Your work is very important to me.

Not my work... me.

I couldn't do it without you.

Well, what-what-what does that mean?

I mean, what does that actually mean?

Actually.

That I want you to stay.

That... I want us to...

go forward together again as colleagues.

Not colleagues.

Friends.

As friends.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Mary.

Abel says there's a swamp monster...

10 foot tall, skin all scale, like an alligator...

one red eye, one black.

Who's Abel?

I can't talk about Abel.

Hey! What are you doing?!

What are you doing?!

I'm onto you.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

What's your sin, my child?

I have a dog... a hunting dog.

It's had a bad life. I thought I rescued it.

That sounds like a kindness, not a sin.

There's an unpredictability to it, an anger.

And the more he grows, the less I can control him.

He's dangerous, Father.

What exactly are you confessing?

My selfishness.

My...

want for what the dog brings me.

For as great as my fears are...

my desire to keep the dog is greater.

Don't look at me like that.

You had a miracle bring your kid back.

I've got to make mine.

Hail Mary.

Hello?

Well, hello.

Who is this?

Bella.

And is Bella little Bitty's mommy?

Yes.

Good.

And where in Louisiana does little Bitty live?

Saint James.

How'd you know my kitty's name?

- Hey. - Hey.

Want to go to dinner?

Dad and I actually got take-out.

Sushi.

You got him to get out of the trailer.

Good for you. Did you order for me, too?

Of course we did. Nothing more annoying than having to share.

And you wonder why we broke up.

I can smell the wasabi from here.

Detective Samuelson,

Lake Elsinore precinct, Minnesota.

Sit down, please, Mrs. Barlow.

What is this?

I'm so sorry, Jake. I didn't mean to...

Mom... what?

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm so sorry.

What's going on?

Mrs. Barlow,

Mr. Barlow...

I have some very difficult news.

A couple of hikers came across a shallow grave in Elsinore woods.

The grave contained human remains.

What does this have to do with us?

We found a necklace on the remains

correlating to an FBI's missing-persons report.

Mrs. Barlow, I have to ask...

do you recognize this necklace?

It's our daughter's.

Just breathe. Breathe.

So, you do live with someone?

My boyfriend.

I thought I said.

No. You didn't say.

Kit?

This is Theresa.

I-I told her she could stay.

Hello.

Hey.

You want a beer?

We have beer and cold, mutilated pizza.

I'll be through in a minute.

Baby, come on.

I'm coming.

Pete?

God, I'm glad it's you.

I just had such a weird feeling.

Emma.

I've got some real tough news.

What?

Emma...

What is it? What?

There's been some remains found in Minnesota,

close to where Esther Moses lived.

They think it's from around the time of your arrest.

We're closed.

I said we're closed.

I hoped I'd just catch you.

Tell me a story.
