[Beeps]

[Chimes]

Come on, girls, come on.

Oh, my god,
I am being triggered right now.

This house is a lot like
the one I grew up in.

My mother used to make me do
the screwdriver test every week.

- — The what?
- Screwdriver test.

If you can't push a six—inch
screwdriver into the lawn,

- you are not watering it enough.
- Kristen: So what are we looking at?

- [Doorbell rings]
- A psychological assessment.

And a spiritual one.

Seeing if it can be dealt with
with therapy.

- Are your parents home?
- Are you here for my brother?

- We are. — mom, dad!

Hi. Thank you so much for coming.

Um, I'm Tom mccrystal. This is olive.

- Hey, olive.
- — woman: Uh, come on in, please.

Can I get you anything?
Water? Coffee? Fruit snacks?

We're fairly well—stocked.

Huh. What kind of fruit snacks?

We're fine, thank you.

But we'd love to meet Eric
if that's all right.

This way.

Ben: [Sighs] Okay.

Oh, uh,

so, sometimes we need
to sleep in the same room

so that we can lock the door.

- I see.
- Yeah.

Eric?

Eric.

Eric: Yes?

It's time for the appointment
we talked about yesterday.

Um, we'll stay out here.

He gets a little agitated
when he sees the baby.

So you're here to evaluate me?

Well, we're here to talk.

I'm David acosta.

I'm Kristen bouchard. Hi.

Hi, I'm Ben.

I don't have chairs,
but we can sit on the floor.

Do you know why your parents
called us here, Eric?

Yeah.

Can you tell us what happened
with your big sister?

I bit her.

Really hard.

She was bleeding a lot.

And she cried.

Kristen: And why did
you bite your sister?

Because I wanted to.

Did something happen
that made you want to?

Can you tell us?

We were watching Steven universe

and she kept laughing
and I wanted her to stop.

It was too loud.

I told her to stop, but she didn't.

But you don't laugh when you hurt.

So you knew you were hurting her
when you bit her?

And how did you feel
when you were doing that to your sister?

Did you... like hurting her?

Eric, look at me.

Did you like hurting her?

Mm—hmm.

Kristen: And what is it
you liked about hurting her?

I don't know.

It's kind of like watching
a story I made on my own.

Like, at school,

there's this kid in my class
that I'm always stuck next to.

Because my last name's mccrystal,

and his last name's mccray.

So, on our last field trip
to grand central,

we played dare or dare.

And I made him jump
onto the train tracks

and count to 42 before he could get up.

[Door opens]

But then one of our teachers
grabbed him before the train came.

Did you want him
to get hit by the train?

Even though that could have hurt him
really badly, or even kill him?

I guess.

You got good taste in comics.

You ever read any of the
ochre 7 collection?

- No.
- — It's a story about immortal kids

who play hide-and-seek through time.

I'm surprised
you haven't read any of it.

In volume four,
simona dares Patrick to jump onto

the railroad tracks and count
to 42 before he can get off.

Maybe I did read that one and forgot.

Eric was... loving and caring.

He was totally different.
And then...

When did he change?

Two years ago.

It snuck up on us.
A tantrum here, a fib there.

- Are you a mother? — yes.

You know how you just
write it off as kid stuff.

Then it accumulates, and now...
It's a struggle to remember who he was.

What about the, uh, locks on
the cupboards and the fridge?

He tried to poison us.

- Why? — he said he was doing

an experiment, and he wanted
to see how long it would take us

to feel the liquid bleach in the milk.

Luckily we had a nanny cam
that saw what he did.

Have you had him
psychologically evaluated?

12 times.

But the psychologists don't agree.

Any medications?

Uh, antidepressants, adhd, odd.

23 separate protocols.

Yeah, and some have worked for a time,
but then he outgrows them.

He's been institutionalized twice.

And the police were sent
to his school three times.

These are the police reports.

I hate to suggest this,
but there are federal programs.

Yes, and they took Eric for a week

before they asked us
to come pick him up.

They're supposed to take everybody,
but they won't take Eric.

I mean, we've been at this
for two years.

And we're just...

God, I didn't want to do this.

We just need someone to help us.

We're not very good catholics.

But Eric has something inside him.

A demon.

I never thought that I would say that.
But I believe it now.

Something changed Eric two years ago,
and it wants to kill us.

And that is why we need your help.

[Sighs] This is a nightmare.

We have to get our own psych eval
before I can request any church action.

Yeah, I'll get on it.

Guys, there's a chance
this is environmental.

Okay? The oldest daughter,
she had a greenish tint in her hair.

That's from acidity.

There's oxidized metal particles
in the water.

That is like copper piping.

Okay?
And they moved here two years ago.

That's when the kid
started to act differently.

It's possible.

Overexposure to copper
can cause psychiatric symptoms.

You look into it, and we'll get
our own psych eval with Eric.

- Great. — Ben.

Could you check my house
for metal corrosion?

Yeah, your kids psychos?

- Mom, we're home.
- Mom, I'm so hungry.

My stomach is literally killing me.

- Mom, we're home!
- Mom, where are you?!

- Where's mom?
- Hey, quiet. No, no, no.

Hey, hey, hey. Quiet, quiet.

What is this?

[Whistles]

Good, I have your attention.
All right, now listen very carefully.

Your mother's still at work,
and I've got a pair of eights. See?

- Mm-hmm.
- — there are pop—tarts in the kitchen.

And since I can't remember
any of your birthdays, these.

- [Gasps] Oh, my god!
- — no, let go!

My birthday's the closest!

It's good, it's good. No, no, no.
Don't thank me.

Thank you so much, grandma. Open it.

Now, listen, if you can't keep quiet,
I'm taking them away.

[Gasps]

Lexis: Oh, my gosh,
I know what these are.

Augmented reality goggles.
There's a girl at school who has them.

Lynn: Grandma, these are great.

Now, everybody, kiss me on my cheek
and then go play.

Okay? But please don't kill anyone.

- No killing. — mwah!

[Beeps]

[Device chimes]

Lynn: Okay, we can try world trip,

block the blocks,

- bunny hopp...
- Lila: The haunted girl.

Both: The haunted girl!
The haunted girl!

Laura: Let us see.
We want to see.

We just put them on, we're all sharing.

Why does sharing mean
you guys get to go first?

'Cause we're the oldest.

Whoa, what do we do now?

Grandma said it was all right
to use them, so I think it's okay.

- — Lexis: Why, what does it say?
- Nothing, just if we're old enough.

- Laura: What's it say now?
- Lynn: It's asking if we're pregnant.

- What?
- Lila: Well, we're not, so...

Eww.

Lynn: Whoa.

[Laughs] Oh, my god.

- Laura: What, what is it?
- Lexis: Let me have it.

Lynn: It's so weird.

It's just our room,
but there are spiderwebs

- and... and spiders! There are spiders.
— [screams]

Lau ra: What? Where?

- We want to see.
- No, just wait, just wait, wait.

Oh, my god.

Laura: It's our turn,
it's been five minutes! Come on!

- Let us try.
- Wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no.

- Lila: Wait, should we? — yes.

- What?
- — It wants us to turn out the lights.

[Screaming]

Oh, my god!

- Laura: What is it?
- — Lynn: A spider in the hall.

- Lila: Giant. — Lynn: Massive.

Lexis: I think it's my turn.

- It's our turn!
- — wait, wait, wait.

Stop it, stop it, Laura.

- Stop it right now.
- — stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Lynn: This is insane.

It's so real, so real.

So real.

- Lila: Should we?
- It's just our bathroom.

Lila: [Screams] Close it!

- Oh, my gosh! Oh, ew!
- — he's coming, he's coming...

Lila: Close it quickly!

[Lila whimpering]

Close it, close it! Close it!

He's coming! He's coming!

- [Panting]
- What?

- It's our turn now.
- Hold this.

- I'll help you. — okay.

- Just know that none of this is real.
- — so is it a game, or what? What do I do?

I don't know. We didn't get far enough.
Just... don't get scared.

Laura: This isn't scary.
I don't see anything.

- Lexis: Open the bathroom door.
- Just know that it's not real.

- Don't get scared. — go on.

It's fine, Laura, you can do it.

- [Gasps] — come on.

What? It's just our bathroom.

You don't see it?
The guy with the butcher knife?

- Lynn: He was just there.
- — Lila: Yeah.

- No.
- — he was right there a second ago.

- No. There's nothing.
- — seriously?

- You guys were making it all up!
- No, we weren't.

- It was right there!
- Yes, you were!

[Overlapping arguing]

- You think we'd lie about this stuff?
- Look! There's nothing here!

I think these are broken.
They don't work.

They're not broken,
just wait one second.

- Just look around...
- — what are we supposed to see?

[Growling]

[Gasps]

- Lila: What? Did you hear something?
- — lexis: What is it?

[Growling]

Laura: Uh—huh.

[Growling]

Do you see something?

Lynn: What is it?

- [Screaming]
- What is it? What do you see?

- Lila: What do you see?
- Lexis, you're okay! Lexis, you're okay!

[Overlapping chatter]

[Roars]

- [Screaming]
- Lila: What is it?

Lexis, lexis, lexis, lexis, you're okay.

What do you see?

[Overlapping chatter]

Laura, there's nothing, okay?
There's nothing.

It's all fake, okay?
There's nothing there.

Laura, there's nothing.

- [Screaming]
- — Laura, where are you going?

Laura, where are you going? Laura!

[Laura screaming]

What's going on?
What are these? Where'd you get 'em?

Honey, are you okay?

I... I got 'em as a communal gift.

- I thought they'd like 'em.
- — switch to bunny hopp.

They're cool.
You should try them on.

- Yeah, look, mom.
- — they're super cool.

Sweetheart, what's the matter?

Lynn: See, it's like pokémon go.

- You just hunt bunnies.
- — Lila: Yeah, they're fun.

Lynn: See?

[Goofy laughter]

Then, why was your sister screaming?

- She's a little baby.
- Shut up!

Because she doesn't
like whacking bunnies on the head.

Okay, here's the deal.

You can play with these,
but not on the stairs

and only after you do
your homework, okay?

Okay, we'll start our homework right now.
Come on, guys.

- I'm not scared anymore.
- — good.

- All right, dinner. Let's go.
- — let's go! Dinner!

- Lila: Mom, what's for dinner?
- Kristen: Um, we are going to have...

Sheryl: It's grandma's special.

[Growling]

Eric: Tired.

Good.

Surprised.

Good.

Do I have to do these anymore?

- Kristen: Yes, you do.
- — they're stupid.

Eric, please sit down.

What other graphic novels do you like?

We can discuss every graphic novel
that's ever been written

as soon as you're finished with Kristen.

[Sighs]

Hey, welcome back.

[Sighs] I don't know.

Really?
You want to take another look?

So you don't feel any change at all?

Something in you?
Something influencing you?

You recognize this?

What is it?

Blessed rosary.

Why don't you take it?

That's okay if you don't want to.
I can understand you being scared.

I'm not scared.

Why don't you pick it up?

"I like to be where
exciting things happen."

"I do not care if! Get
into trouble at school."

David: Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done...

On earth as it is in heaven.

- Why are we at church?
- — this is where I work.

I don't like it here.

Why?

It's dark.

Too bad. Repeat the words.

Do you like me?

I don't think I've decided.

Do you think I have a demon in me?

I don't think I've decided.

If I do have a demon in me,
is there anything you can do?

I can try.

Do you want that?

I don't know.

He scored high on the
callous-unemotional factor: 53 out of 80.

The grandiose-manipulative
factor: 41 out of 60.

- — Any treatment possibilities?
- [Sighs]

Well, it's hard, but you try to
teach the child what they lack:

- — Remorse and empathy.
- How do you do that?

You show them what remorse
looks like in others

and explain that there's
a greater advantage if they imitate it.

So, in the end they're
really not remorseful,

they're just faking it?

Yes, but hopefully what starts
as imitation becomes learned behavior.

"Fake it until you make it"?

Sure.

What about you?
Any hope from your end?

There might be some
demonic oppression.

Can't be sure.
It's hard to tell with a nine-year-old.

This family doesn't want
to hear about more therapy.

They want to hear it's supernatural.

I know.

Do you think god could ever create
a nine-year-old psychopath?

So there should always be hope?

Yes, in redemption.

And how do you teach a child
to want redemption?

"Fake it until you make it."

[Clears throat]

I got a question for you.

I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

Why are you her friend?

Kristen?

I don't trust her.

I think you'd trust her
if you got to know her.

What do you think you want to be
when you get older?

When you're an adult.

- Comic book artist. — yeah?

[Chuckles]

I did as a kid, too.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, if that's what you want,

you know you got to play by the rules.

That's what I did.

And I know you don't feel the way
other people want you to feel.

I understand.
That's why you got to pretend.

At least some of the times.

What do you mean, pretend?

When you see someone crying,

cry with them.

When you see someone laugh,
laugh with them.

Watch what other people do,
watch what they expect,

and then do that.

Because you got to work with
other people to draw comics,

but they won't want to work with you
unless you follow the rules.

And maybe you'll end up like me,
not minding the rules.

They won't seem like
so much work anymore

because you'll be on the inside of 'em,

not the outside.

And I know this all seems like
it's pretty hard,

but you know what helps me
follow the rules?

Even on days when I don't want to?

Yeah. I know, but it works.

Praying?

Don't call it prayer.

Just tell god what you want.

And he'll give it to me?

He'll give it to you if you have faith
and act upon it.

[Girls chattering]

Hey, don't freak out

when you see a strange man
in your bathroom.

Your, uh, mom asked me
to come look at the pipes

and your grandma let me in.

- Hey.
- So, is the shower broken?

No, no, it's, uh...

Your mother's just worried
that you're gonna turn into psychopaths.

[Girls talking at once]

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.

Time out, time out.

Have you guys ever noticed that

when you all talk at the same time,
no one can understand you?

What's your name?

- Ben the magnificent. What's yours?
- — Laura.

- Lynn. — Lila.

Okay, well, that cleared things up.

- Is that really your name?
- — yeah.

You know, I, uh, I like those stars.
Yeah. Who did those?

- I did.
- No, you didn't.

You just hung them.
I cut them out.

[All shouting]

All right, okay. Okay!

All right, stop, stop, stop.

All right, that's enough.
I... I... I really have to do this,

and you guys probably have...

- Yeah, we've all got homework.
- — ...To do things.

Yeah. Just... homework.

Laura: Let me try again.

Lynn: Laura, it terrified you
the last time.

No, now I know how to use 'em.

Well, first we're going to see
if there's anything scary.

- Is there anything scary?
- You didn't let me put it on.

- Now is there anything?
- — one second.

[Both scream]

[Chitters, roars]

I'll get it with the fireball.

- Lexis: What fireball?
- — I looked online how to play.

- Lila: Awesome.
- — this is so cool.

[Laughs] This is so cool.

[Chimes]

Wait, look.

Lynn: Who's rose390?

- I don't know. Maybe she knows more.
- Wait, maybe we shouldn't.

- Is there someone else on it?
- — who is it?

- What is it?
- — we can always turn it off.

Lynn: Okay.

Girl: Hello.

Hi?

I'm Lila.

I'm Rose.

Do you want to play?

We just started. We don't know how.

Have you seen the board?

Lila: What board?

It's probably in there.
Go ahead and open it.

I can't touch anything in your house.

I can only see.

[Static crackles]

Girl: There it is. In the corner.

Lila: What do you do to it?

Open it like you're opening a book.

And what will it do?

- Lila: Whoa.
- See?

That's how you get to the next level.

- What's the next level?
- — everything.

It's so fun. Put your hands
on the pointer, like this.

I'll put my hands on this side.

I don't think they should do this.

Me, too.

Slide it around so it lands on "hello."

Okay, now what?

We say "hail, hail, hail" three times,

but we have to say it together.

- Okay?
- Who are you?

Just a normal girl playing like you.

And what does it do?

Look, I'll start.

Hail, hail...

Both: Hail, hail, hail.

Good, here he comes.

Here he comes. Here he comes.

[Demonic voice]
Now we can really play.

Daughters:
Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

- Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.
- — hey.

- Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.
- — hey.

Hail, hail, hail, here he comes.

Hail, hail, hail, here he...

Hey. What are you guys doing?

- Nothing.
- — we were just playing.

- Yeah? What are you playing?
- — just a game.

Can I see?

Oh, okay.

Uh, I'm not your mom,

but this is not
an appropriate game for kids.

- This is, uh, an ma game.
- — we were done playing anyway.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Kristen: Daughters!
- — okay, well, I think...

- I didn't expect you to be home so early.
- This is so unusual...

- Why are you home so early?
- Your friend's upstairs.

Oh, good, Ben's here.

Ben the magnificent.
He's fixing the shower.

Ben the magnificent, huh?
Have you been nice to him?

- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

We were playing a game
we shouldn't have.

- An adult game.
- Lila: Lynn...

Laura: I didn't get to.
I didn't get to play.

- Yes, you did. — no...

Look, you're holding the controllers.

Just because I'm holding it
doesn't mean that I...

Laura: I didn't get to play!

It's called the haunted girl.

So it's an adult game?

Well, it's an ma game.
It's really not that scary.

Yes, but they lied to me.

No, she just told the truth,
and that wasn't

- the easiest thing for her to do.
- She only told the truth

because she was afraid
you were gonna tell me.

- Well...
- — it's like with Eric's mother.

- It starts with a small fib.
- Look, if you want me

to make these things
child-protected, I can.

And then all they can do
is play the bunny game.

- Or I just throw 'em out.
- — yeah.

I mean, my parents
threw out my video games

and I went to my friend's house.

Okay, well, if you don't mind,
please, child—protect 'em.

Okay.

Any word on our pipes?

Uh, you are okay. No copper.

Really? No toxicity?

No. Your children are happy
and healthy, and you're a good mother.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.
I mean, they just lied to me.

And what about the pipes
in Eric's house?

Uh, I don't know yet. I'm still looking.

Okay.

Thanks, Ben the magnificent.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

What are you doing?

Who are you?

None of your business.
What are you doing?

I'm getting rid of you, rose390.

[Distorted voice] It won't work.

Yes, it will.

You are a pedophile
with a voice modifier.

And if you ever try
to get in here again,

I am gonna dox you
into the next century.

Did you ask him?

- No. — what's going on?

Last night I saw him praying.

What? Why?

Yeah.

Will you check my work, mom?

You've been good, Eric.

I like David.

The man who was here?

Yes.

He said if I wanted something,
I should talk to god.

And what do you want?

A tutor who will show me
how to draw comics.

I'll see what I can do.

[Chuckles] That's great news.

Um... I can help if you want.

I know some of the basics,
and I know some comic book artists.

[Laughs] That's so good to hear.

He likes you, David.

And I feel like he's taken
to something that you said.

Um, what is that?

Uh, asking god for something he wants.

Okay. I'll come on over
with my drawings,

and I'll start him off on the basics.

- Thank you so much.
- — I'll see you soon.

Don't let me interrupt.

No, I'm finished.
I'm glad you came.

I thought we could do a little tutorial.

- You want to go inside? — no.

Out here is good.

It's a little bright. [Chuckles]

What's going on, Eric?

Nothing.

What were you praying for?

You said it wasn't praying.
It was just asking god for something.

What were you asking...

[Grunting]

[Crying]

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, my god, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, oh, god...

Come here, come here, baby.

Hi, hi, hi.

There's been a drowning at 9033 broxton.

We need paramedics immediately!

What were you doing?!

You told me if! Had faith
and acted upon it,

god would hear me.

Hear you for what?

I was asking to take her away.

You're seeking an emergency exorcism?

The child tried to kill
his little sister by drowning her.

Under compulsion?

I don't think he was doing
it through his own free will.

And what do you think, Ms. Bouchard?

I think he shows psychopathic behaviors,

but ultimately I don't think I can ever
really explain why he's driven to kill.

Well, I'm only allowed to move fon/vard
if this is a spiritual disturbance

and not a psychological one.

The parents want an exorcism.
They have tried everything.

They think there is a demon inside him.

And you think psychology
has nothing more to offer him?

Look, if I were honest with you, father...

Amara: Please.

Psychology always thinks
there's more to do,

but this family will be murdered
before we find results.

All right, then,
tell them to be prepared for tomorrow.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

Well, there's nothing
I said I don't believe.

I think we should get a drink sometime.

I'd like that.

[Beeps]

[Goofy laughter]

Girl: What are you doing?

- Lynn: I'm sleeping.
- — don't you want to finish the game?

What game?

Who are you talking to?

No one. Just go back to sleep.

- Why do you have those back on?
- Don't. It's nothing.

- Lila: Hey, it's her.
- — It's me.

The game's not done yet.
Come on back.

We can't.
We can only play rabbits.

I'll show you how to take off
the child lock.

We're not supposed to.

- I have some bad news.
- Lila: What?

It's about your dad.

What about him?

- Don't you want to know where he is?
- He's on Everest, climbing.

Are you sure?

- I think we should take these off.
- — girl: First,

- you should check the board.
- Lila: What board?

Come on, don't you want to ask it
what happened to your dad?

Go ahead.

[Voice distorts]
Ask it where your dad is.

Where's my dad?

- "Heaven"? — [girl laughs]

You'll like being an orphan.

- Dad's fine. — how do you know?

Well, because he texts me every day.

How do you know it's him?

Maybe it's somebody else in the group
writing for him.

Or maybe it was done earlier.

Okay, where is this coming from?

The girl in the game.

The haunted game?
I thought I said you couldn't play?

We didn't.
The girl came into bunny hopp.

She found us.

Okay, Lila, I want you to
get those goggles right now.

- But... — no, now, please.

You know you don't get to play
with them anymore, right?

Yeah, I know.

Okay, I've got an idea.
Why don't we text dad,

let him know
we're thinking about him, okay?

Can we send him a video message?

That's even better. Let's do that.

Let's all squish. And... we're on.

Hey, dad, we're whispering

'cause we don't want to
wake up lexis and Laura.

We love you
and we're worried about you.

Don't fall off a mountain.

Okay, mom wants to say something.

Please call us when you can.
We all love you.

Do you love dad?

[Chuckles] Yeah. Of course I do.

Do you think he loves you?

Yes.

Then why isn't he home?

Well, he's making money for us.
He's guiding people on Everest.

Can't you make the money?

Yes, but it's what dad does.

I do things here,
and he does things there.

When's he coming home?

In a few weeks.

Now, let's just go to sleep.

Dad's fine. He loves you, and he's fine.

So, you ever been to an exorcism before?

- Never.
- Well, it's not what you'd expect.

Long stretches of tedium

interrupted by seconds of sheer terror.

[Indistinct police radio chatter]

- How's she doing?
- — good. She's a trooper.

Hopefully she won't remember
what happened.

Are the cops here about yesterday?

No, no, we had an incident.

Uh, this is father Amara.
He's here for the rite,

- the exorcism.
- Good afternoon.

I thought you were talking
something in the pipes.

Uh, there was some corrosion
but not enough for concern.

So the church has agreed to
your request for an exorcism.

Uh, the police are here
because Eric is missing.

He ran away.

Cop: If this isn't his blood,
whose is it?

We had nothing to do with that.
That is not his blood.

Sarah: We need to deal
with this right now,

so, um, thank you for your help.

Oh, we... we might need you
to tell the police

that Eric tried to drown olive.

Okay.

[Crying]

I love all my children equally,

but when one of them is in danger,
I have to act.

Um, Eric said to give you this.

Pray for Eric.

Pray for us.

They killed him.

[Quietly] Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Please forgive them.

Please forgive Eric.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Indistinct chatter on TV]

[Laughter]

Woman: [On TV] I've been in the game
way longer than you, and I manage.

Woman 2: It's not the same.

- Woman 1: Friends are friends.
- — woman 2: It's different.

- Woman 1: How?
- — woman 2: Do you really want to know?

Hey, mom, I heard at school
that you have to go back into the game

to say goodbye on the spirit board,
or else it'll keep haunting us.

Can we get the ar back to do that?

I'll think about it.

[Indistinct chatter
and laughter over TV]
