All language subtitles for Cult.S01E07.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-KiNGS_track3_und

Just tell me what
the problem is, nate.

I made contact

With them last night,
and I

Think they're after me now.

You made contact with who?

Uh, the tv show.
It's called cult.

But it's not just a tv show;
it goes beyond that.

You have no idea
how much I don't want

To get you mixed up in this.

Nate!

Strong word of
advice, mr. Sefton.

Let us do our job.

If your brother's in trouble,
we'll find him.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

You can't seriously
think about going in there.

She's a cop.

She'll shoot you.

Sorry to hear
about your friend burt.

Burt...

Jeff, what is it?

What happened?
Gunshot wound.

What the hell did you do?

It's what you did.

Andy, we've talked about this.

Just leave your hair alone.

Do you see what I mean, doctor?

Mommy.

:
Hey. Okay.

It's okay. Everything's
going to be okay, buddy.

I'd love to hear

The story
of your pictures, andy.

Can you tell me?

Andy, remember what
the doctor said.

This is a safe place.

This man's name
is billy.

Is that right?

And what about this one?

Mommy.

What's this?

Blood.

Did billy hurt your mommy, andy?

Mommy hurt herself.

Did she do something
with her hair?

She cut it out.

She cut it out.

Hey.

Hey.

My laptop froze,
and I needed to, uh,

Check something online asap.

Hope it's okay.

Sure.

Wow. You look terrific.

Is there some sort of event
tonight or something?

This afternoon, actually.

I know I just got back to work,
but it's kind of important.

The producer said you could take
some more time if you needed it.

You were in the hospital for,
like, three days.

No, I'm fine.

Do you mind?

Oh. Yeah.

There you go.

Something else?

Is there something happening
you want to share?

There's a wake this afternoon.

My friend jeff's boss...

Died suddenly.

Jeff?

The guy you were with
at the party the other night?

Yeah.

All right.

As most of you know...

Burt was the closest thing
to a parent

My brother and I had
after our parents passed away.

And he was a mentor

To many of you
here in this room.

You know,
burt was, uh...

...He was an original.

And we're here today
to celebrate his life.

And to grieve, because, uh...

This sudden act of violence

Has robbed us of our friend.

Jeff?

I know burt's death
wasn't an accident.

What are you talking about,
e.J.?

You asked me to help you

Get that police detective's
home address.

But burt stopped me.

A day later, he's dead.

Burt's death

Is a tragic accident.

What is this?

A copy of that detective's
police personnel record.

You shouldn't have done this.

Your brother's missing.

Burt's dead, and you think
this bitch sakelik

Had something to do with it.

If I can help you, I'm going to.

I don't know how you got this,

But if sakelik traces it
back to you...

Nobody's tracing anything.

Trust me.
Hey!

Don't do anything like this
again on your own, okay?

Promise me.

Promise.

I'm not the one
who has to be careful.

Jeff...

Mr. Sefton.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to stop by

And let you know I was
personally taking charge

In the investigation
of your friend's death.

It's a pity

He had to die so needlessly.

I'm glad to see

You're back up on your feet,
ms. Yarrow.

Why are you doing this?

Huh?

Because of
a tv show?

I mean, just...

How sick are you?

My investigation so far

Points to a home invasion
gone tragically wrong.

So we've heard.

Listen, this is, uh...

A private gathering.

So, if you could just...

Of course.

I just want
to assure you

That I'm on this.

And I won't let it go.

E.J. Never should have stuck
her neck out like this.

You keep
involving her.

I keep involving her...

And sakelik's made it very clear

That no one in my life is safe.

I worry about you.

The answers
to my father's disappearance

Are tied up in all of this.

I'm not backing away, jeff.

I guess I don't have a say
in the matter, then, do I?

Nope.

Mmm.

So, we work the data.

All full of sakelik's

Glowing performance reviews.

Commendations.

Except...

What?
I mean, she may be

Super cop today, but her past

Is not so picture-perfect.

She has a juvenile file.

Criminal file?

Yeah, wouldn't that
be interesting?

Here, read that.

Sakelik's petitioned
three times in the last year

To have that file expunged.

Each time unsuccessfully.

So what's happened
in the last year

That makes her want
that file destroyed?

Jeff, it's a sealed
government file.

She killed burt.

She knows where nate is.

If there is something
in that file

That gives us
leverage against her...

I will do

Whatever it takes to get it.

Thought you'd
forgotten about me.

I don't forget
about jury tampering

Or the lowlifes
that do it.

I want the evidence.

And I want the file
I asked you for.

I could go to prison for this.

You could also go to prison
for this.

Not anymore.

This makes us even.

I remember you
as a reporter,

And I got to say, I...

Never figured you for a guy
who'd do deals like this.

Things change.

We meet again.

We met the other night

At that rather, uh, bizarre
party promoting your show.

Stuart.

That's right.

Very nice ride.

She's my pride and joy.

You visiting
someone on the set?

No, actually,
I opened offices here.

I'm going to try my hand
at producing.

Try your hand?

Well, the family has some money,

And, um...
Some money.

Always had a thing
for film.

It's rather brazen indulgence,
I know, but I figure

If I can bring together
some talented people I admire

And keep out
of their way,

Something worthwhile
might just come of it.

Let me give you your first
lesson in being a producer.

Sadly, self-deprecation

And a desire to create
something worthwhile

Isn't what gets movies
made these days.

You'd be amazed
at what I can accomplish

When I apply myself fully
to something.

Not that I have your kind
of talent, but I can spot it.

And unlike most people,

I have the means to reward it.

I've got my hands on some
pretty interesting material.

You should stop
by the office sometime.

I will.

If only to see
what you're driving.

I'm surprised
to see you back here, partner.

Yeah, I wanted another look.

I-I think we just rushed out
of here so fast the other night.

Well, it's a home invasion.

Victim was at the wrong place
at the wrong time.

I don't know. Something smells
off about this one.

The vic

Is a newspaper editor.

We're not exactly talking
mansion here.

So what do you got?

Well, it's all
just a little too neat.

Signs of forced entry.

There's a bullet casing
we found.

All right, everything points
to home invasion.

But... Remember
that hodges thing?

When the husband
set it all up?

You... You're the
one who pegged it.

It was just too perfect.

That's the vibe I'm
getting on this one.

I say we reinterview
the neighbors.

Somebody's got
to have seen

Or heard someone
coming in or out.

We already did a comprehensive.

I know, but I think it's
worth one more shot.

We've got a lot
on our plate right now.

Sometimes they just break easy.

Okay, well, I'm-I'm telling you,

My gut says there's something
here we're not seeing.

And I'm telling you...

There isn't.

I still can't believe
you got this file.

Yeah, and they're
date-stamped.

1988. That's 25 years ago.

She'd be about this age.

That's got to be sakelik.

Yeah.

I don't see any
criminal record.

But there's this.

"abandoned child report."

"jane doe, age 14, minor."

Sakelik was an abandoned child?

It's possible.

I don't see anything in here
about her family.

But if this is
a child protective service file

On sakelik,
why all these other photos?

I mean,

Who are these kids?

And why would sakelik want
all of this destroyed now

After all these years?

If we had
these other kids' names,

We'd have a way
to figure that out.

Yeah, wait.
We have an address here.

It says she was picked up
at a house up in arrowhead.

So let's go there.

There's something
about these pictures.

Something that sakelik
clearly wants to keep hidden.

And right now, it's the
only lead we've got.

If we leave now, we can be there
in a couple hours.

Yeah.

Hello, louis.

Roslyn.

Aren't you glad to see me?

It depends.

What have you done now?

I murdered a man.

A completely innocent man.

Why?

For us.

To send a message
to someone

Who was trying to threaten
what we are doing.

You know it hurts me.

What has stuart said?

I haven't told stuart.

I do whatever is necessary.

As I always have.

Do you... Have news for me?

Yes.

We are so close.

What we've been praying
for all these years.

Stuart is certain.

It is almost here.

Annabelle creusen,
current owner.

Bought the house in 2003.

Hmm.

25 years, and it
hasn't changed at all.

Not a bit.

Woman:
Afternoon.

Ms. Creusen?

Yes.

I'm jeff sefton.

I'm a reporter for the word,
a paper down in los angeles.

A reporter.
How can I help you?

Oh, we're interested
in your house.

A newspaper's interested
in my house?

Actually, in its history.

Uh, well, I don't know
how much I can help you.

Uh, the house
is about 90 years old.

I don't know a lot more
than that.

Well, actually, we're interested
in the occupants

From about 25 years ago,
late 1980s.

Um, well, I bought it
from a couple named daniels.

No, uh, danners.

And before that,

I believe the county owned it
for a while.

Moon hill.

That's pretty.

Now, that,
I can take credit for.

I named the house.

Uh, when I bought it,
I thought it deserved a name.

Are there any neighbors

Still around from then
we could talk to?

No, uh, there are no neighbors
at all.

What is this all about?

Well, we're actually interested
in this person's involvement

With the house.

Who is she?

We believe she lived here.

If she did,
I'd have no way of knowing.

Sorry.

But you're more
than welcome

To look around
if you'd like.

Maybe for a few minutes?

Sure.

Thank you.

Yeah, thanks.

It's written off as sentimental

To say, "the children
are our future,"

But it just happens to be true.

As we look into
these shining faces,

What a bright,
bright future it will be.

Our vision is for a place

Safe from
the despicable violence

These young too often experience
in these troubled times...

Billy grimm talking about
saving the children?

Some nerve.
That's his thing.

And when they're young,
minds are easier to twist.

I have a warrant
to search billy's car.

Step aside.

Billy:
The question
might be asked,

"well, in these economic times,
how can we afford

To build this youth center?"

As you look into the eyes

Of these children...

You need some help, partner?

...Same hopefulness
for all of our children.

I got it.

Billy:
The question should be,
"can we afford not to?"

It's just like andy said.

Your sister left it
for you to find.

Billy:
And I look forward

To personally helping
to shape a happier,

More fulfilled future
for them all.

Thank you so much.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you. Yeah.

Kelly:
Billy grimm?

I need you to come
with us, please.

What's this about?

You're to be questioned
in a matter of assault,

Kidnapping
and child endangerment.

This is ludicrous, of course.

You have no grounds
for this.

This is where you're wrong.

Let's go.

These people who
came to see me,

This young man and woman,

They were suspicious
of her, I could tell.

Why would they come

Out of the blue
after all these years?

She's done something,
hasn't she?

Louis,

I know I've been a stranger,
but this is me talking.

Ros protected us,

The younger ones.

But we both know

What she's capable
of, what she did.

You were there
that night.

Louis,

I know you don't like to talk
about it, but I have lived

My entire adult
life wondering,

Is this the day I'm going
to open the paper and read

That an l.A. Police
detective has snapped

And done something
truly horrible?

How often do you watch these?

You shouldn't dwell
in the past, louis.

Me? What about you?

You're the one who
bought the old property.

None of us can leave
our past behind.

When was the last time
you saw roslyn?

It was months ago.

When, louis?

She came by today.

Why?

She confessed something to you,
didn't she?

That's why
she usually comes to you.

She's killed again.

We have to tell someone.

No. No, no.

It was in the service
of what stuart is doing.

For us, for-for...

For all of us.

What are you talking about?

What is stuart doing

That could possibly
justify murder?

It's happening, annabelle.

What we've always wanted.

What is it about this house
and these kids

That sakelik wants
to keep hidden?

Well, I've been checking out
the arrowhead local newspaper

From the late 1980s,
like you suggested.

And look at this.

There's a section
noting highlights

Of city council reports.

In 1988, every report

Lists complaints from
homeowners in the vicinity

About whoever was
living in that house.

I mean, there's complaints

About too many occupants
in a single-family dwelling,

Of livestock being kept
without permits,

Complaints about the sounds
of gunfire,

Of children
not attending school.

Too many occupants.

How many is too many?

Enough to parent
all these kids?

Yeah, but...
Where are the parents?

Was the house being used as home
to some sort of commune?

Or a cult.

I've enlarged as many
pictures of these kids

As I could.

Of course, 25 years later,

They're not going
to look the same.

I mean, all we have
is a bunch

Of juvenile
john and jane does.

We can't find one word
about any kind of commune

Or cult in arrowhead
during that time.

What?

Maybe sakelik's not the only one

Trying to hide something
from us.

The current owner of the house--
what was her name again?

Annabelle.

She made a
point of saying

She named that house moon hill
when she moved in ten years ago.

Yeah, so why is it written

On that door 25 years ago?

Wait a minute.

Could this be her?

Could this be annabelle?

Man:
I'm not exactly sure

What you're asking me
about your partner.

You've rolled
with her before me.

I heard you were the one
who asked for the reassignment.

I'm just wondering why.

You've been with her
what, almost a year?

And now you're
asking me?

Thinking about asking
for a new partner?

What makes you think
I might be doing that?

Look, I don't know, you know.

There was never anything

I could really
put my finger on exactly.

It was just...
It was just a vibe from her.

You ever think she may have
cooked a crime scene?

I never said that.

You think she might
be capable of it?

Look, I was her partner
for six months.

Okay? We just
didn't hit it off.

That's all it was.

That's what's on my official
reassignment request.

That's all there is
to it. I got to go.

All right.

Louis, what-what
are you doing here?

I'm sorry, but I didn't
know what to do,

And I thought
you should know.

Know what?

Annabelle came to see me.

What about?

She said she'd been approached.

She said some people came up
to the house, to moon hill,

And were asking

About you.

Moon hill? What people?
What did she tell them?

I don't think
she told them anything.

Are you sure?

But I-I tried to explain to her
what we were doing,

Just tried to...

You... What?

I... Thought she'd understand.

How could you do that?

How many times
have we reached out

To her over the years?

She ran away from us.

Rejected us.

I'm afraid she's going to tell
someone what stuart is doing.

And if she does,
it could ruin everything.

I did the right thing,
coming here, didn't I?

The absolute right thing.

Go home.

I'll take care of this.

If this arrowhead house is
home to some kind of cult

And sakelik was
raised there,

Could be why she's
drawn to the show.

I can't blame annabelle for not
wanting to talk about it.

Maybe she's hiding
something else.

You think annabelle
could be a true believer?

I think we have to be prepared
for the possibility.

Well, then,
what about the rest of them?

All those other
john and jane doe kids?

Where are they all now?

And how many of them
are like sakelik?

Something wrong, roger?
Stuart.

I love your car, but
you're going to have to move it.

What's this about?

It's about your new car.

She's yours now.

This some kind of joke?

It's not a joke; it's a gift.

You're giving me
your car, this car?

I want you to have it.

I've made myself clear.
Money is not an issue for me.

This your company?

The family company.
Over 100 years old.

that's...

Cutlery. We make knives.

You're honestly suggesting
that I accept this from you?

More than suggesting.
I insist.

In hopes that perhaps,

On your hiatus
from the tv series,

You'll consider one
of my film projects.

That's the only string attached.

Drive her home tonight.

I'm confident, once you've
been behind the wheel,

You'll no longer
be able to resist.

Roger, you'll have to excuse me.

I have to take this.

But I-I...

Yes.

Doesn't look like
anybody's home.

So we'll wait.

I'm not leaving
until we get answers.

You.

Annabelle?

Why did you come back here?

We came back for the truth.

You lived here,
didn't you, back then?

You lived here with the girl
we asked you about.

Roslyn.

Why do you have a gun?

I... I saw the headlights,
and I didn't...

I didn't know who was coming.

What are you afraid of?

Get out of here, please.
Just leave.

Listen, when you lived here...

...You were a part of some kind
of cult, weren't you?

We were a family.

A lot of kids for one family.

You don't understand.

There was so much

Love here.

What we had at first was...

Was such harmony.

But what happened,
annabelle?

All the children were abandoned,
weren't they?

And you were one of them.
You and roslyn.

I can't imagine
what that must have been like.

I never told anyone
what we went through.

We woke up one morning...

...And all of the grown-ups
were gone.

How many kids were there?

20 to start.

It was such fun at first.

We played all day.

We thought for sure the
grown-ups would come back.

But they didn't.

So somebody...
Had to take control.

And that person
became roslyn.

She could be very cruel.

And there were no adults
to stop her.

You're still afraid of her.

Sit.

How many times

Did we make love
in the summer heat?

Sweat running
down our bodies.

You remember, kelly, don't you?

Forensics came back
on this hair found in your car.

My car?

Mmm, you're mistaken.

You should check the name
on the registration.

The hair belongs to my sister.

It's enough
to make arrests.

Somebody's going to talk.

Somebody always talks.

I've got you.

Will you tell me something?

Why did you leave me?

Because you were...

You are a lie.

I loved you then,
and I love you now.

That is not a lie.

But it is, billy.

Everything about you is a lie.

I know because once,
you believed your own lie.

You believed
you loved me.

Let your guard down.

You let me see the real you.

After all this time,
I finally got you.

But I'm willing to deal.

All you have to do
is give me my sister back.

Mm-hmm, okay.

You're free to go.

Never underestimate

The usefulness
of a good lawyer.

Oh, I have
underestimated nothing.

This isn't going away, billy.

Not until I get meadow back.

We had never had any contact
with the outside world.

It was forbidden.

We only started
to leave

Because we started
to run out of food.

Roslyn was the first to
suggest we leave moon hill.

We, the older ones, would
break into people's homes.

First, it was to get things
we needed, and then...

It was to get
whatever we wanted.

What are we doing
out here?

Move that
and look underneath.

Why?

You're looking for answers
about roslyn, aren't you?

Jeff...

Roslyn said we needed
to find homes of the rich.

She didn't want it to be random.

She never did
anything random.

Are you familiar
with the olivia leland murder?

Yeah, she, uh...

She was a television actress.

She was murdered
in her beverly hills home.

I mean,
that was a big story.

25 years ago,

Roslyn used that map

To find us
homes to rob.

That night, we broke

Into olivia leland's home.

We thought no one was there,
but...

She surprised us.

That's her blood on the map.

One of you killed olivia leland?

Roslyn.

What was that?

Oh, my god!

jeff:
Go, go, go!

Hello, mr. Right.

It's peter, peter grey.

No, sir, I haven't found
anything of interest.

I'll keep my eyes open

For anyone
who seems too curious.

Yes, sir.

I mean, sakelik is prepared

To kill anyone
who gets in her way.

Even people she grew up with.

She shot annabelle
right in front of us.

And one of these days,

We're going to make her pay
for it, all of it,

But right now, she's still
the only person I know

Who knows where nate is.

And now we've got something
on her.

Except we lost our witness
to back up what it means.

Well, annabelle said
that there were four kids there

The night that olivia leland
was killed.

Sakelik...

And two others.

So we find one
of those other two kids,

And this becomes my key
to getting nate back.

Jeff.

Another photo

From 25 years ago.

Yeah, but look
at the car.

It's a valiant.

Like in the show.

Check out the
license plate.

"149-pce."

That's the exact license plate
used in the show.

Yeah, but what's it doing
up at moon hill?

25 years ago.

Was steven rae
a part of this cult?
