"This is not happening." "I questioned my sanity when I first found out.." "But this house... this house will make you a believer." "You see, Violet, we were living here when Tate lost his way." "And I believe that the house drove him to it." "What?" "No." "That can't be real." "You're a smart girl." "How can you be so arrogant to think that there's only one reality that you're able to see?" "I want you to meet someone." "Violet Harmon, meet Billie Dean Howard." "The child has no manners." "Billie is a gifted medium." "She can help." "You're confused." "Overwhelmed." "Why wouldn't you be?" "I never asked for any of this." "None of us did." "But nothing can be done once one's been chosen." "Billie has been helping me for years." "I first found her on Craigslist."

"A Craigslist psychic with a Hollywood agent." "Who'd have thought?" "A medium, dear." "I can't read your future." "That's a different gift." "Have some chamomile tea." "It'll calm the nerves." "I'm in a dream." "I used to be like you." "Until I was 25." "When out of the blue, my cleaning lady shows up as I'm brushing my teeth." "Except she's got no toilet brush and rubber gloves, she's naked and bloody." "Her husband murdered her with an ice pick." "It's hard to keep good help." "BILLIE:" "Do you think I wanted a bloody Mexican ghost in my bathroom?" "All I wanted was to improve my tennis game and unseat Charlotte Whitney as president of my book club." "But I was chosen." "And when you're chosen, you either get with the program or you go crazy." "Understanding the truth is your only choice." "What's your version of the truth?" "There are some who have an understandably violent and vengeful reaction to being horribly murdered." "They refuse to move on, until they exact their pound of flesh." "Then there are a very few souls, like Tate, who don't even know they're dead, who walk among the living in child-like confusion." "That's why I wanted him to see your father." "I was hoping your father might help him achieve some clarity about himself so that he could see the truth on his own." "We must help him cross over, Violet." "This is bullshit." "I was set up."

"Actually, we get sensitivity training." "We deal with people's worst fears, real or imaginary." "That makes sense." "But, actually, with the, uh, with the infidelity," "I have firsthand experience with that." "Hmm." "Not me." "No, my wife." "With another man?" "It was a woman." "Yeah, I know." "A lot of guys would be into that, right?" "Me, not so much." "(door opens)" "What happened now?" "I thought I heard somebody." "Where?" "Outside or inside?" "Outside." "I looked around, checked the alarm system." "Everything seems to be working fine." "Thanks for filling in." "Oh, by the way, the woman that I took out of here?" "She never made it to the police station." "What?" "I don't understand." "She must have hopped out of my vehicle at a stop sign or something." "Please keep you alarm on even when you're home." "Thank you." "(door opens, closes)" "What are you doing here?" "I've got to work, Vivien." "Rent an office." "We don't the have the money, Viv!" "I promise I'll leave right after my last patient." "I don't want you here." "You brought this on yourself." "(sighs) You're right." "And you're angry." "If you violated our marriage right in front of me, I'd be furious." "But I need a place to work, Vivien." "We need the money." "I'm finding it really hard to look at your face." "'Cause I really, really, really want to bash it in." "I find you disgusting... and disappointing as a man." "And we're gonna end this marriage and we're gonna sell this house and I'll let you be a father to our kids because I happen to think that you're a good one." "But I'm not gonna be your friend." "I will merely tolerate you." "And you can see your patients in the house, but I want you to leave after your last session of the day." "♪ ♪" "Are you scared now?" "BEN:" "Urban legends?"

"It's, uh, it's terrifying." "Okay, story goes, um... he was a hog butcher in Chicago during the World's Fair of 1893." "And before he would go into the slaughter pen, he would put on this mask, this pig mask that he'd made from one of his other kills, and he would snort-- (snorts) you know, like a pig" "make 'em think he was one of them." "Then one day, he slipped and he fell." "The pigs, hogs tore him apart." "And they didn't find one piece of him anywhere." "So everyone assumed." "'Cause not too long after, his former customers, they started turning up dead;" "gutted, skinned and hung upside down in the bathtub to drain, like a hog in his shop."

(squealing)" "No." "But there's something inside of me that's afraid that I might." "And that scares the hell out of me." "We're gonna get to the root of what that is, I promise you." "Okay." "I want to see you again Wednesday, 3:00, all right?" "Sure." "In the meantime, I want you to shave." "In a mirror?" "Can you try, Derek?" "Yeah." "Good." "Call me if you need me." "Okay." "Thank you very much." "Dad?" "Hey, honey." "I'm sorry, Daddy." "It's all my fault." "What?" "No." "No, baby." "No, no, no." "Your mom and I both love you very much." "It's never gonna change." "It's the darkness." "It has me." "I have you." "Baby, I have you." "I have you." "She's a nurse in your department." "I think her name is Angie something?" "She fainted during an ultrasound." "Right." "She's an ultrasound technician." "So she quit?" "Would you ask her to call me, then?" "Vivien Harmon." "Okay, thank, thank you." "Hi, Constance." "I'm so sorry about Adelaide." "I've been meaning to make a condolence call, and I've just been..." "Moira tells me that you've been suffering terribly." "That every time you leave the house, you're racked with violent morning sickness?" "Yeah." "Well, you know, my mother always recommended a big platter of offal during the first trimester of pregnancy." "She preferred pork." "Oh, well, how nice of you to think of me during this..." "I believe life is for the living, don't you?" "Sweetbreads." "Now these two are thymus glands, one from the heart, one from the throat." "And this is the pancreas." "It's so good for mother and child." "Full of protein, vitamin C, all the B vitamins and iron." "And speaking of which... how is your other baby?" "She was such a dear sweet child, and such a comfort to me when Addie passed." "Well, she's been very upset." "Spending a lot of time in her room." "Sometimes, children going through transition just need alone time." "Well, I, um, can't thank you enough for the offal." "Offal." "Moira, why don't you sauté these for Mrs. Harmon's lunch?" "Do 'em the way that you used to do them for me, remember?" "With sweet butter." "I'd be happy to do that for Mrs. Harmon." "(chuckles) We need that baby." "We need another... sweet child around here." "May I say something that could be considered out of turn, but that is sincerely heartfelt?" "I guess so." "Cheating on one's pregnant wife qualifies as an unspeakable criminal act." "It's on a par with murder." "And I'll tell you one thing I know, if I know anything at all" "Dr. Harmon will cheat again, if given half the chance." "I hope I haven't upset you, speaking my mind so directly." "Just a pinch of the sea salt, a tiny squeeze of the lemon, if you like." "Although I prefer without." "And ma'am," "I've left the pancreas uncooked." "They say it's the tenderest organ of them all, especially when eaten raw." "Oh..." "Uh, no," "I don't think so, Moira." "Think of the baby." "Mmm." "Mmm." "DEREK:" "I don't think I can do this." "Have you been doing the exercises we talked about-- looking in the bathroom mirror at home?" "Yeah, but I cheated." "I used my toaster-- it has a very reflective surface."

"Over 5,000 amnios, and not a single miscarriage, but who's counting?" "And so this would-- with the Down syndrome...?" "Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida." "The amnio results should put your mind at ease." "Sorry I'm late." "Traffic was insane." "You didn't have to leave work to come here." "Of course he should." "He's the daddy." "That's right, I'm the daddy." "We have to be nice to Mommy today." "And keep her off her feet." "Will do." "Regina is going to find the perfect spot so we don't hurt the baby." "Right there." "You're going to feel a tiny pinch." "I owe you an apology." "It attacked you too, didn't it?" "No." "But I don't know what's real anymore." "I feel like I'm losing my mind." "The Devil is real." "And he's not a little red man with horns and a tail." "He can be beautiful." "Because he's a fallen angel, and he used to be God's favorite." "Have you read the Book of Revelation?" "No." "In Heaven, there's this woman in labor howling in pain." "And there's a red dragon with seven heads waiting so he can eat her baby." "But the Archangel Michael, he hurls the dragon down to earth." "From that moment on, the red dragon hates the woman, and declares war on her and all of her children." "That's us."

"What kind of pills?" "Can I have one?" "They were over by the sofa." "Used to be a row of tables." "I get four or five of you sickos a year." "Usually freshmen." "What, are you a transfer?" "You're that teacher." "You're like a hero." "Now you know what heroes look like." "Wait, I'm sorry." "I'm not like those other kids." "I know Tate." "I mean, I know his mom." "We moved next door to her." "Did you know him?" "Before he did this?" "I knew his face." "Didn't seem like a bad kid, actually." "He was in here a lot." "Kind of thoughtful, liked to read." "Byron, books on birds, random stuff." "Was he bullied or something?" "Did he even know the kids he shot?" "I just want to know why he did it." "Me, too." "Why are you bullshitting me?" "!" "If the bullet had been an inch to the right, it would've missed my spine and I would have walked out of here." "Might have even been able to stop him." "An inch higher, it would have killed me." "Sometimes shit just happens." "Good people don't just have a bad day and start shooting people." "Maybe he wasn't a good person." "Moira." "I'm afraid I've got some bad news." "You've lost the baby." "No, no, no, no." "Oh." "Stop." "Stop cleaning and come sit down." "Have a seat." "I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go." "I don't understand." "The house is spotless." "It has nothing to do with you, believe me." "Mrs. Harmon, this is not a job." "For me, coming here is a reprieve." "I understand." "We just can't afford it." "Then I'll work for free, till you sell." "I'll make the house gleam and glitter for the new owners." "Then, perhaps, they'll hire me." "Mrs. Harmon, I've had my share of regrets." "But leaving an expectant mother in the time of her need will not be one of them." "I'm staying." "(laughing)" "You're being so dramatic." "I'm not helpless, Moira." "Well, I'm not one to belabor a point, but where has the time gone?" "You must be famished." "I mean, I am hungry." "Constance dropped by earlier with another delicious delicacy." "No." "I don't want you cooking for me." "Please, don't go to the trouble." "Come on." "No trouble at all." "It's served raw." "So you and the baby get the full measure of vitamins."

"Allyson-- works in accounting." "There's a real chemistry there." "Derek, that's great." "Ask her out." "Get out of your own head." "I..." "I would love to." "But what happens if she wants to come home with me some night?" "How... how do I explain why all the mirrors are covered up?" "Derek, you're doing this to yourself." "Think of it as the psychological law of physics." "The more you fear something, the more power you give it." "You need to conquer this thing, Derek." "You're going to go home, you're going to look in the mirror, and you're going to say those words." "They're not magic words." "There is no Piggy Man."

"I've been concerned because of the ultrasound and..." "They said that the machine malfunctioned, but... it seemed to me that you saw something that scared you." "Yes, and I've been praying about it ever since." "I saw the unclean thing, what you carry in your womb." "The plague of nations, the Beast." "Okay, so you didn't see anything." "So... the machine malfunctioned." "It did not." "I saw the little hooves." "You need some help." ""And the woman was full of the filthiness of her fornication!"

"I'm sorry because... most of the time that I was with you, especially when you were younger," "I was just so overwhelmed." "It wasn't easy being a single parent, and you were such a handful." "So I guess I forgot to say the things that I was supposed to say, but that I honestly always felt in my heart." "I am so proud of you, Addie." "I admire you so..."
