"All right, take a seat." "Well, after reading your papers on Paradise Lost over the weekend..." "I've decided to revise the lesson plans a bit." "Pass these back." " Check it out." " The Bible?" "This isn't to be read in a religious context." "But it occurs to me many of you don't have the necessary reference points... to fully appreciate these iconic texts of English literature." "So, Leah, we're all gonna do a little extra reading." "Look, my parents don't pay a shitload of tuition for me to get stuck in Bible camp." "Your parents pay for an excellent education, which is exactly what I'm giving you." "Hmm." "Thanks, but no thanks." "Yes, Alexis?" " I already have a Bible." "I don't need this one." " Well, just to keep things clear... we're all gonna use the same edition just like all of our other texts." "I'm not comfortable with that." "I'm sorry?" "I don't feel comfortable talking about the Bible as some sort of text." "It's the word of God, not some morally questionable novel you give us a pop quiz on." " Jesus freak." " That's enough." "It's sacrilegious." "It's profane." "Alexis, / appreciate your beliefs. / do." "You need to learn to navigate in the secular world if you wanna succeed here." "I can navigate in the secular world without questioning my beliefs." " don't see why we have to talk about this as if it's an opinion. /t's the truth." "L" "Molly, do you have something to add?"

"I guess you got sidetracked on your way to our appointment yesterday." "I understand." "I imagine it must be overwhelming on your first day of classes... but your father insisted." " He worries a lot." " I hope you don't mind." "It's still technically sealed." "But everything stays between you and me, all right?" "I don't need to be here." "Heard you had a panic attack in class today." "You wanna tell me about it?" "It was just a nosebleed." "Just got freaked out by all the blood, that's all." "Must be hard being new at school even under the best of circumstances." "'m new here too." "t's hard for me." "How are you feeling otherwise?" "Whatever it says in there, I'm not like her." "We're not suggesting that, Molly." "Our only concern is you." "Well, I told you, I'm fine." "Your mother stabbed you in the chest... with a pair of scissors." "There was no sign of mental illness... no warning." "I don't remember, okay?" "Everyone keeps asking me what happened, and / don't remember." " She's locked up, and she can't get out." " Are you interested in knowing... what her diagnosis is?" ""Probable psychotic disorder." ""Signs of paranoid schizophrenia... or a schizo-affective disorder accompanied by a bipolar disorder. "" "I get it." "She's crazy." "It's okay to be scared, Molly." "What?" "Of developing the same symptoms." "There is a genetic component to this disease." "We're gonna keep an eye on you." "We're not gonna let anything happen to you." "Books?" "You're lookin'up shit in books?" "sn't that what computers are for?" "Uh, compu- Schools, um, track... everything you look up on the computer." "You know, standard procedure." "Well, I guess I didn't peg you as the paranoid type." "I'm not." "I just don't like people keeping a record of my thoughts." "Oh." ""Medical Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders"?" "What?" "You don't need this." "I can diagnose you." "Yeah." "Ooh." "This is not good." "It's, um..." "Ebola." " Good call." " Yeah, well, it was, uh... kind of the nosebleed that gave you away." "Yeah." " Too bad you only have six hours to live." " Too bad." "Well, maybe now, you'll let me give you a ride home... since we don't have that much time left." "Since it's terminal, I guess I can make an exception." "Well, good." "Let's go." "So are you good friends with that Alexis girl?" "No." "Why?" "I don't know." "Just wondering." "She's nice to me, that's all." "Nice?" "I can be nice." "Hey." " What the hell happened?" " Nothing." "You had a nosebleed." "You started hyperventilating." "You had a panic attack." "That's nothing?" "I'll just see you tomorrow, Molly." "It's fine." "Molly, how do you think that makes me feel- to know that my daughter is hurt and bleeding and won't even call me?" "I'm sorry." "I-I overreacted." "I'm worried about you, that's all." "You never used to worry." "You never paid attention to me at all." "Stop trying to control my life." "I'm not trying to control your life." "You went to see her?" "She's my wife." "You need to tell me when you're not feeling well." "I need to know." "What?" "You need to know if I'm crazy too?" "Sweetie, you are not crazy." "My head hurts." "I hear things." "Everything's mixed up." "I just" "It was all my fault." "Look, tomorrow I'll make an appointment with a doctor, okay?" "We'll get you checked out." "I know that everything is gonna be fine." "We're gonna get through this." "Okay?" "Molly?" "Oh, shit." "Molly?" "Molly?" " know what you are, Molly." "Wait!" "Daddy!" "Daddy, help!" "Let me out!" "Molly, what's going on?" "Daddy, let me out!" "Dad!" "Molly!" "Molly!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Molly?" "Molly, do you know where you are?" "Molly, are you with me?" "Easy." "Easy." "Just relax." "How did- What's going on?" "You're in the hospital." "Everything's all right, baby." " You're gonna be fine." " How long have you been having nosebleeds?" "A while, since before Mom" "Have you been experiencing vision problems?" "Headaches?" "Dizziness?" "See this little spot?" "It's most likely a tumor... in your sinus cavity." "A nasal hemangioma." "A little mass ofblood vessels... growing out of control and creating a whole lot of pressure in your head." "That would explain the nosebleeds, the headaches and the vision problems." "What about... hearing things?" "Can that happen too?" "Sometimes the buildup of pressure can cause episodes of vertigo... or auditory hallucinations, disorientation." "I thought I was going crazy." "We caught it early, so there's nothing to worry about." "These things are pesky, but usually benign." "We'll do an endoscopic procedure... and monitor you for a few days." "You don't mind missing a little school, do you?" "Good." "I'll schedule the surgery for tomorrow morning." "Get some rest." "You see?" "Everything's gonna be all right now." "Everything's gonna be absolutely fine." "Is my dad here?" "Is there any water?" "I know what you are." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You're okay." "You're out of surgery now, sweetie." "Everything went really well." "There was no complications." "The tumor's benign." "She was here." " Who?" " Mom." "No, it's just you and me." "I saw her." "She tried" "No, it's just the anaesthesia." "Just go and relax." "Lie back down." "I don't suppose you feel like having a visitor?" " A visitor?" " Yeah, a friend from school came to see you." "Oh." "You want me to tell her to come back when you're feeling better?" "No." "It's okay." "Okay." "Come in." "I'm gonna go scrounge up a decent meal." "You girls want anything?" "A pizza, or chili cheese fries?" "No, thanks, Mr. Hartley." "Okay." "Okay." "I'll be right back." " Your dad seems really nice." " Yeah." "My grandmother works in a hospital." "She says flowers make all the difference." "How did you know I was here?" "Everyone at Huntington knows everything." "No secrets." " You're big news." "But don't worry about it." " What do you mean?" "I brought some homework assignments." "Thought I could help you catch up." "Why are you so nice to me?" "Molly, can I ask you a question?" "Sure." "Have you been saved?" "The doctor caught the tumor early." "I'm fine." "That's not what I mean." "Oh." "Right." "Have you been baptized?" " My parents don't believe in that sort of thing." " Well, what about you?" "This is your life, your journey." "What do you believe?" "I'm just worried about you, that's all." "I'm feeling a little tired." "I brought this for you." "Thanks." "Sure." "I pray for you every night." "How do you feel?" " Good." " Your birthday's coming up." "What about a party?" "A party?" "Cake, presents, a clown." "No clown." "You know, time rushes by like you wouldn't believe, Molly." "I mean, just yesterday you were a little thing in pigtails." "And suddenly, you're 18." "All grown up." "You won't need me anymore." "Don't worry." "I'll need you." "¶¶" "¶ Oh, the blood ofJesus ¶" "¶ Washes away ¶" "¶¶" "Alexis, enough with the musical interlude, please." " Sorry." " Thank you." "I'm so glad you're back."

"Nice catch." "I didn't think you'd be back so soon." "I would've definitely milked that " brain surgery" thing for, like, a month off, maybe two." "It wasn't actually brain surgery." " You're better now, right?" "Aren't you?" " I'm fine." "Great." "Then you can come to my party tonight." "Tonight?" "It's a Tuesday." "Exactly." "It's a Tuesday, and my parents are out of town." "I don't know." "Maybe." "Well, you'll need the secret code." "A secret code?" "Just for the gate." "Can't be too careful." "Oh, and bring anyone you want as long as it's not a guy." "Yo, yo, let's go!" "Wait!" "Where do you live?" "Molly." "Are you feeling better?" " Yeah." "Thanks." " Aw." "I hope it wasn't too serious." "No." "So what were you and Joseph talking about?" " Nothing." "We're just friends." " Of course." "It must be really difficult to... be in your situation." "What's that supposed to mean?" "He doesn't really want you to come." "Oh, God." "I'm so sorry." "I didn't even see you there." "You're a bitch." "I know." "God, I hate her." "Do you wanna eat?" "So, are you gonna go?" " To the party?" " Yeah, to the party." "I don't know if I wanna go." "Yeah, you do." "You wanna go, and you wanna take me with you." "You wanna go to the party?" "Please." "It's not like I even care." "It's just- You know, it's something to do." "Come on." "You can't tell me you're not bored out of your mind here." "You can count, right?" " So then what's your curfew for tonight?" " Curfew?"

"You didn't know that?" "No." "Well, Suzie's not gonna let you have him without a fight, so" "Who says I want him?" "Yeah." "Okay." "That was convincing." "Good job." "I saw you in Emerson's office the other day." "Oh, really?" "So what, does that mean we're sharing now?" "Should we read each other's journals and promise to be best friends forever?" "I have" " I have anger issues." "My father died of throat cancer last year." "Then when he's dead / find out he's not even really my father." "Turns out I'm adopted."

"Fight back, girl!" "Go to hell." "Stay away from my boyfriend!" "I don't like to be threatened!" "You bitch!" "Leave... me... alone!" "Messed her up!" "There's no way." "So he gets sent for, like, three weeks and he cries" " I wanna go home." " What?" "I want to go home." "Okay." "Okay." "Well, I'm not ready to go yet." "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be here." "I got you invited." "Sorry." "I think I'm too wasted to drive you home." "Ask your new boyfriend." "Molly!" "Molly, wait." "I didn't mean it."

"Okay." "Go inside the restaurant and wait for me right there." "I'm leaving right now." "You understand?" "Okay." "I know what you are, and I can't let you be filled with the darkness!" "Do you understand?" "Molly!" "Molly!" "Molly!" "Let me save you!" "Mom?" "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "Where are you?" " Where is she?" " Hey, are you all right?" "Where is she?" "Where is she?" "Where is she?" "Go ahead and make that an attempted code one." "Molly." " She was here." " No." "Yes." " I know what I saw!" " Sweetheart, I called Clayton." "She's in her room." "She's been in her room all night." "I'm scared." "Don't be scared." "I'm right here." "That's not good enough." "Everything is gonna be all right." "Suzie." "I'm really sorry."

" L" " You can tell me." "Just talk to me." "It's okay." "Please." "Just leave me alone." " Everyone should just leave me alone." " Molly!" "t felt real." "But you understand that it wasn't." "What is happening to me?" "Fear is a very powerful emotion, Molly." "Plays tricks with your mind." "It makes you see things and hear things that aren't really there." "Nothing is wrong with you." "You're perfectly normal." "Nothing about me is normal!" " Why did she try to kill me?" " Your mother is very ill." "She's not in her right mind." "She's not thinking clearly." "Do you understand that?" "We're gonna work through this together." "Okay." "Here." "I want you to take this." "I want you to call that number any time you need to talk." "I'm here for you." "Okay." "Molly." "Look, I'm really sorry, okay?" "I should've taken you home the other night." "It doesn't matter." "But it's your birthday tomorrow." "I mean, let's- let's do something." "Molly!" "Hi." "I need to get home." "I'm sorry." "I know about the party." "I know what happened." "Suzie Woods told me everything." "Doesn't matter." "I'm not mad you ditched me." "Honest." "You should come inside." "I can't." "Whatever you're going through, we can help." "If you're lost, if you're afraid, we can help." "If you accept Christ into your heart, you'll be blessed with eternal salvation... spiritual protection, grace." "Isn't that what you want?" "You're a good person, Molly." "Let me help." "Hi, you've reached Robert Hartley's cell phone." "I'm unavailable to take your call right now, but if you leave me a message..." "I'll call you as soon as I can." "I'm home." "You told me to call when I got here, so I'm calling." "Stupid lock." "Get away from me!" "Molly, the nurse let me out." "She let me out because she believes." "What do you want from me?" "To save you." "That's all I want." "You have no idea what you're about to become." "Can't you feel it, Molly?" "There is evil everywhere." "The darkness is coming for you, honey." "It's coming." "What's happening to me?" "I'm so sorry." "We made a terrible mistake." "What?" "You were never meant to live." "We were so weak." "We were so selfish." "You died the night you were born... on the bathroom floor of a restaurant." "You came too early. / never made it to the hospital." "There was too much blood." "I'd lost babies before- miscarriages- and I couldn't lose another one." "But then this woman suddenly appeared." "I don't know where she came from, but suddenly she was just standing there... and she offered us a deal." "She promised to make you live." "Honey, they knew you were special." "That's why she came for you." "She promised us 18 years together." "And then you would belong to them." " I don't believe you." " There are others like you." " Dad would've said something!" " No, he refuses to believe the truth!" "He made the choice, but he doesn't understand!" "But I know what we did!" "I know this has happened before." " You're crazy!" " No, I'm not crazy!" " Yeah!" " If I don't stop you now, you'll do terrible things." "I just wanna make things right before it's too late, before you turn 18." "Don't you understand what's happening to you?" "Can't you feel it?" "You're being torn from this world." "Everything you do will be in the service of them!" " Your life will no longer be yours anymore!" " Shut up!" " Don't you understand?" "I can save you!" " No!" "May God take you so you can be saved!" " Molly!" " Help!" "Somebody help me!" "Molly!" "No!" "I can't let you live!" "I can't let the darkness take you!" "They're coming for you!" "No!" "I love you!" "Honey!" "No!" "No!" "She came back." "She told me everything!" "What happened the night I was born!" "What'll happen to me on my 18th birthday!" "Molly, for God's sake, we didn't do anything!" "She's delusional!" "She knew something was going to happen to me and she tried to help me!" "She wanted to stop it!" "No!" "Nothing is gonna happen to you!" "That wasn't real!" "That was some religious nutcase screwing with your mother's head!" "You have to do something!" "Tomorrow's my fucking birthday!" " You can't let them take me!" " No one is gonna take you!" "Now, this is exactly how it started with your mother... with the religious delusions and the paranoia and the losing touch with reality." "She's dead because of me!" "I won't let that happen again." "I won't lose you, too." "Let go!" "I'm gonna get you some help." "A good doctor." " Someone who can help you see the truth." " I know the truth!" " I have to find a way to stop it!" " Then just let me help you." " Let me take you someplace quiet and safe." " I won't let you lock me up!" "¶ Through the blood ofJesus ¶" " ¶¶" " What are you doing here?" "I need your help." "I don't know where else to go." "Of course I'll help." "But you have to tell me what's wrong." "Is it too late for me?" "Is it too late for me to be saved?" "It's never too late." "Even if someone chose a terrible path for me?" "You're responsible for your own salvation." " God lets you make that choice for yourself." " You're sure?" "Of course." "I choose it then." "I choose salvation." "I'm really glad you came to me, Molly." "You won't regret this journey." "I promise." "No!" "I can't take a journey!" "I need you to help me now." "I'm running out of time." "Time for what?" "I need protection... before it's too late." "Please help me." "Come with me." "This way." "Put this on." "This will work, right?" "If you acceptJesus Christ into your heart, you will be purified." "You'll be born of water and the Spirit, and you will be saved." "That's what you want, isn't it?" "Yes." "Come with me." "Do you believe and trust in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth... who gave us his only son to die for us?" "Do you believe in his son, Jesus Christ, who was crucified for our sins... rose from the dead, and is the only way to salvation?" "Do you believe and trust in the Holy Spirit... who enables us to receive God's word, repent, and believe the Gospels?" "Say if you believe." "L" "Yes." "Do you wish to be baptized to seal this faith?" "Yes." "Close your eyes." "Is it done?" "What's wrong?" "Do you know where my grandmother's a nurse?" "Clayton." "I know about your mother, Molly, and what she believes." "Jesus, forgive me for my sins." "This will save your soul!" " You promised to help me!" " I am!" "I'm saving you!" "Now you'll be with God!" "Stay down!" "I'm sending you to heaven!" "I know what you are!" "I can't let you live!" "Don't you see?" "This is the only way!" "Oh." "I'm sorry." "Molly?" "My God!" "Are you okay?" "What happened?" "Come here." "Get in the car." "It's gonna be okay." "Are you gonna tell me what happened?" "There are a lot of things that you don't know about me." "Terrible things." "Well, I could probably say the exact same thing, Molly." "No!" "You don't understand!" "Okay, so explain it to me." "Please, Molly." "Just tell me what happened." "Hey, Mr. Hartley." "Is, um" " Is Molly here?" "No." "No." "I just" " I got her a birthday present, so" " Yeah, I'll take it." "Okay." "Is Molly okay?" "Yeah." "I'm sure she's fine." "Um... do you have any idea where she might be?" "Say something." "I just think you're tired." "Just go inside and get some sleep." "I knew you wouldn't believe me." "Well, what am I supposed to say, Molly?" "Do you really expect me to believe that your soul belongs to the devil?" "I mean, don't you realize how insane that sounds?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to say it like that." "No." "You're right." "Maybe I am just like my mother." "Maybe" " Maybe I am just I- losing my mind." "No!" "There's nothing wrong with you." "I don't know what to do." "We just need to get the hell outta here, away from your dad, away from this whole damn town." "And go where?" "My dad keeps a lot of money in the safe, enough to go practically anywhere." "Just you and me." "You don't have to do this." "I'll be right back." "Okay?" "This is Amelia Emerson." "Please leave me a detailed message and I'll return the call as soon as possible." "Thank you." "Dr. Emerson, it's Molly." "Something's happened and I'm in trouble, and I don't know what to do." "I'm atJoseph Young's... and I'm really scared." "If you could call me back" "Molly!" "Joseph?" "Joseph?" "Joseph?" "Joseph?" "Joseph?" "What are you doing?" "Are you surprised?" "t's your birthday, right?" "Tomorrow." "Well, it's almost tomorrow." "So, happy birthday a few minutes early." "Come on." "Don't you wanna blow out the candle?" "I wanna get out of here." "But what about our party?" "Okay, you're scaring me." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Joseph, let's go." "Let's go!" "Fine." "Dr. Emerson, you got my message." " Message?" " I called you." "I-I left you a message." "No." "No message." "Then what are you doing here?" "Well, it's your birthday, Molly." "Of course I'm here." "Just a few more minutes now." "How does it feel?" "How does what feel?" "Your new life." "We're all here for you, Molly." "We've watched you grow." " We've chosen you." " No." "No?" "You knew all along?" "You lied to me?" "You promised to help me!" "He is helping you." "We're all helping you." "You're the one, Molly." "Don't you know how lucky you are?" " Lucky?" " You'll have power like no one before you." "I didn't choose this!" "Your mother and father made that choice for you." "They did it to save my life." "That is not a choice." "Of course it is." "But human weakness has its consequences." "It always has." "D" " D-Daddy!" "I'm so sorry, Molly!" " didn't- / didn't" "I didn't mean for any of this to happen." "I'm here to make you an offer." "I didn't believe." "We gave you exactly what you wanted." "Then take me!" "It was my mistake!" "Take me!" "God, forgive me." "L" " I have sinned." " / renounce Satan and all" " What can God offer you?" "We've given you everything- your very life." "And now you have great power ahead of you." " I don't want it!" " You will." "God always gives us a choice." "Is that what you think?" "God gives you a choice?" "Your parents determined your fate." "They turned their back on God." "They made a pact." "Maybe if you kill your father... the pact will be dissolved." "What?" "Of course / can't offer you that choice, but... maybe God can." "No." "No!" "Go ahead." "Do it." "Just do it." "Go on." "Sweetie, I love you." " It's" " It's the only way." " Just do it." "Please do it." "I'm sorry." " love you." "I've always loved you." "No!" "No!" "No, no, no, no!" "You've always belonged to us." "Welcome." "We've been waiting." "The patient confessed to the murder and was brought in about a week ago." "There were several attempted suicides... as well as paranoid and religious delusions." "I know this is a lot to take in." "We've had him under observation for a week." "So far there's been no change." " Some interaction with you might draw him out of his shell." " No." "I'm sorry?" "I can't." "I need to move on." "Don't give up on him." "He's your father." "Not anymore." "Miss Hartley, is there something you wanna tell me?" "It's just the way things were meant to be." "I know you'll take really good care of him." "On a personal note... / would like to thank Huntington Prep for not only welcoming me into their school... but for endowing me with the honor of valedictorian." "n closing, / truly believe that each one of us has a special destiny... and we owe it to the world to fulfill that destiny." "We are the generation who will change the world like no one has changed it before us." "You can count on it." "Good luck, everyone!" "¶¶" "Shall we?" " Congratulations, Molly." " Thank you."
