- South Bay Adoption Agency. - Hello. Hi.

I was hoping to speak to someone about an adoption.

Are you a prospective parent?

No, uh, it's actually-- it's about my own adoption.

My adoptive mother has just died,

and I j--I guess I just thought I should tell someone,

just in case maybe it changes something.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that,

but what were you hoping to change?

I don't know, I-- it's just, my--my mother

had been trying to help me find my birth parents,

and she contacted you guys several times about, uh,

the release of my records about my adoption back in 1991.

- 1991. - Yes.

It was a closed adoption.

Not at this agency, it wasn't.

What? You--w--uh--

you mean I can see my records?

What I mean is that we weren't

facilitating adoptions in 1991.

Our agency didn't open until 1995.

That's not--

No--no, my mother and I

discussed South Bay Adoption many times.

She drove me by your offices.

This is--d--I mean, she told me the story every year.

I'm sorry, there must have been some misunderstanding.

Hello?

Do you remember I promised you once

that your life would change,

that everything would be better?

- I remember. - Ah.

That change is coming, my love.

I found her, your daughter.

She's alive.

She's in a place as dark as this one.

I want to see her.

I need to see her.

Then you need to wake up and take control.

Use the power that's rightly yours.

Do you hear me?

Wake up.

Wake up.

All right. Open up, now. Don't fuss.

Open.

Deirdre?

Are you okay?

In the meantime, a really calm

and cooler start to the week,

with temperatures in the lower 70s.

The charred body of a 32-year-old woman

was discovered on the outskirts

of Phoenix this morning.

Sources say her hands and feet were bound

before she was doused with gasoline and set aflame.

If you have any information regarding this case,

please contact your local police department.

Detectives cannot offer any other information at this--

Hi. It's Rowan.

I, uh-- I just checked the schedule

for today, and I'm not on it.

Can you see what the--the mistake is?

Oh.

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, I'll talk to him.

Oh, sh--

You know, after I lost my father,

I'm not ashamed to admit it took me a couple of weeks

to remember which end of the scalpel was up.

With all due respect,

I've done six procedures since Monday,

all positive outcomes.

Yeah, I looked at those tapes.

On average, your patients had been under anesthesia

1.3 times longer than they were in the past.

It's a significant increase.

That's still faster than anyone else on the team.

You're not on your game, Rowan.

Let yourself take a break.

Please, Dr. Keck.

Just tell me what I need to do to get back on the rotation.

Two floors up.

Dr. Davis on the psych team.

She gives you the all-clear, you're back in business.

I'm just gonna ask you a few questions.

You can answer as long or as short as you like.

Ask away.

How are you sleeping?

Good. Pretty good, you know.

And emotionally?

Are you feeling anxious, volatile?

Any mood swings?

I'd--I'd have to say no.

You lost your mother two weeks ago.

Yet you haven't missed a day of work.

Honestly, um, I'm at my best when I'm working.

And that's why I'm hoping

you'll let me get back to it soon.

I'm hoping so too, Rowan.

Tell me, what is it about work that makes you feel better?

Healing people.

Nothing feels better than that.

I agree.

That's what I like about being a doctor too.

You've been through a great deal of trauma,

and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

I have acknowledged it.

I was at my mother's grave yesterday, and I cried.

Is that what you want to hear?

That's one way to grieve.

Talking is another.

Tell me about Daniel Lemle.

- Who? - Daniel Lemle?

It says you were present when he died.

Why is that in my work file?

Did Keck put that in there?

Tell me what's upsetting you.

What's upsetting me is,

his death had nothing to do with me.

But you were there.

You witnessed it. That must have been hard.

I see death every day.

In a hospital, sure.

In a controlled setting, not unexpectedly when you--ugh!

Are you okay?

Oh, Jesus.

I get these all the time. Just...

Give me a second.

Sorry.

Right.

I'm just imagining that

even for a seasoned surgeon like yourself--

Fuck.

Rowan.

Rowan!

Rowan!

This way.

Rowan, this way.

Mom! I'm coming!

Rowan, over here.

Mom! No! Wait!

No! Mom! Don't leave!

Where are you going?

Rowan.

Mom.

I don't know, Samir.

I'm really struggling with this one.

She needs to know who she is.

Until we know more about her,

our job is to observe.

I have observed, and... she's scared as hell.

She's lost in the woods.

Sip, she killed someone.

Before the Talamasca found me,

I was ready to kill someone too.

It was like everything I touched was screaming at me.

My own mother said I was the devil.

And her mother spent 30 years

trying to keep her out of New Orleans.

You tell her who she is now,

she'll be on the first plane here.

Is that what you want?

- Would it be worse? - We don't know.

What we do know is that many women

in that family have been haunted,

their lives cut short, and we couldn't--

Again, that seems like something she should know,

if only to protect herself.

She shouldn't have to protect herself.

That's why you're there. Right?

Right.

What's happening?

I think you must be waking up.

Do you remember the hospital? Electroshock?

You didn't even know your name, but you found me.

I used those words, the ones my mother taught me.

Try to remember them.

Quick, before I'm gone.

Wonderful.

Here you are.

Whoa, whoa.

Sit. Sit.

Don't worry, I have a lawyer

who specializes in familial situations.

He's supposed to be very good.

Can he get me out of here?

It might take some time.

Maybe a few weeks, perhaps a month.

I need to think of an excuse for him to come see you.

Thank you for your kindness, Doctor, but... no.

I can't wait that long.

Ticktock, yes?

It's time she retire for the evening.

Just administering the shot now.

You need to be patient.

Hey!

Why are you following me?

I'm not a threat.

Who are you?

Are you the guy with the SUV?

My name is Ciprien Grieve.

Is Keck paying you?

No. Who's Keck?

Look, let's go somewhere where we can talk in private.

I will explain everything.

Just stay--don't.

Please. I'm not gonna hurt you.

You don't know what I'm capable of.

I know more about you than you think.

- No. - Please wait!

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Thanks for helping, Doc. You might have saved him.

Uh--

And up.

Okay.

Sorry, you gotta follow behind. Hospital policy.

Okay. - Yeah.

I'll meet you there.

Sir, wait.

Hey!

Where's the patient?

- The guy from the beach? - Yeah.

We tried to admit him, but he just ripped out his IV and ran.

What?

Seemed like he was in a hurry to get somewhere.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

We're presently flying at 35,000 feet on our flight

from San Francisco to New Orleans.

We're expecting a smooth flight

and anticipate an on-time arrival

at Louis Armstrong International Airport.

We hope you enjoy the flight.

My love.

I haven't even left this room,

and I'm already tired.

I will give you strength.

Now rest. We'll leave in the morning.

What if it's too late?

It won't be.

She's coming to us.

I've been in her dreams...

leading her here.

You're more beautiful now than you've ever been.

You recall when we had that family of raccoons

living in the walls, all those...

noisy little babies Mr. Statler had to put down?

It sounded just like the sounds I heard

coming from your room last night.

Mm-hmm.

Delphine, where is my raincoat?

Uh, should be by the door.

Well, I know where it should be.

It's coming up a storm.

Same day as our guild meeting.

The Lord has a plan, but I sure don't know it.

Here you go.

I do not trust that Dr. Lamb.

His people are from Boston.

When he comes this afternoon,

I want you to keep your eyes on him.

- Yes, ma'am. - And fetch Deirdre a sweater.

Poor thing'll catch a chill. - Okay.

Miss Deirdre?

Please.

And you remember Margaret Kirby.

Absolutely.

- Yes. - So she worked very hard.

Hi.

Um, Rowan Fielding checking in.

Yes.

Looks like we have you in room 1003.

Great.

First time in New Orleans, Miss Fielding?

Dr. Fielding.

And yes.

Spirits gravitate to historic buildings like this one,

and hotels in particular are vectors for the dead.

Here are your room keys.

Two of them, just in case. - Thank you.

Hey, um,

I know this is a little weird and a long shot,

but, um, do you recognize this house?

Uh, that house...

rings no bells.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Enjoy your stay... - Thanks.

Doctor.

Thank you.

Deirdre?

It can't be!

It's really you!

Uncle Cortland.

When they told me you were at the door,

I thought, "Why, am I dreamin'?"

My God, look at you!

After all these years.

We both got old, didn't we?

It's not right,

the way she kept you like that.

Oh, I should have never let you go.

I need your help.

Well, whatever I can do, I will.

But, uh--

uh...

where is he?

After all this time, I still never know.

Ah.

Well, what matters is that you're here.

You're here!

So let's get you cleaned up, hmm?

Come on.

Hey. Hi. You're a tour guide, right?

Next one's at 5:00. We meet at the front desk.

No. Well, maybe.

But I was just wondering, do you know this place?

Oh, um, that's--

I--I got hers, and I'll have one for me, please.

Yes.

- Yeah? - It's the old Mayfair house.

The May--Mayfair?

It's not on the tour anymore.

Family paid to have it taken off.

Okay.

What do you know about--about it?

Thank you. - Oh, all kinds of things.

Parties at the turn of the century

that went on for days,

murders, disappearances, ghosts.

- Ghosts. - Oh, heck yeah.

There's ghosts everywhere in New Orleans.

But really, that house is famous for its witches.

Sorry, what?

Witches, vampires, demons.

Oh, honey, we make up all kinds of hooey on these tours.

Folks slop it up with a biscuit.

Do you think maybe you could, uh, take a little detour

and point that house out to me?

- Tour leaves at 5:00. - Great.

Bye. - ♪ See me creeping around

♪ When you see him

Oh, there she is.

Oh, such a pretty thing.

You know, that is my daughter's old dress.

When I was a child, you used to buy me

dresses just like this every year for my birthday.

Do you remember?

Of course. Of course.

Someone had to.

Carlotta had you in those hideous old sacks.

And every year, no matter where I hid them,

she would find those dresses

and slice them up with kitchen shears.

It's almost worse than never having them at all.

Hmm.

You know, I can't imagine all you have been through.

Hmm. - My daughter's alive.

Alive?

Are you sure, now?

Lasher's seen her.

How could this happen?

Carlotta stole her from me,

hid her away.

But she's grown up, and she's coming here.

Oh, well, the two of you will have to stay here.

I'll have rooms prepared.

Thank you.

Wh--where is she?

He's going to show me.

Mi Daemon, ad me veni.

Mi Daemon, mihi labora.

Mi Daemon, me libera.

Mi Daemon, ad me veni.

Mi Daemon, mihi labora.

Mi Daemon, me libera.

Mi Daemon, ad me veni.

Mi Daemon, mihi labora.

Mi Daemon, me libera!

Yes. Yes!

No!

She's already here.

- Hello? - I need to see you right away.

You're alive.

A little shaken up, but yeah, I'm alive.

Who are you?

Why do you have pictures of me on your phone?

My name is Ciprien Grieve.

I work for an organization called the Talamasca.

Your mother, Ellie, she reached out to us.

She wanted me to protect you.

So she knew who I was but she didn't want me to know?

What--that--why-- why would she do that?

She thought she was helping you.

Please, I--I will explain everything

once you're somewhere safe.

Why should I believe you?

'Cause I know what you're capable of,

and I can help you control it.

I--I don't understand

anything that's happening to me.

I haven't for a long time now.

I know the feeling.

The man who taught me about my gift

told me this story about a man

who had been wandering lost in the woods.

And one day, he saw another man who was also lost.

He said, "Let's go together."

Second man said, "Why should I go with you?"

First man answered,

"Because I can show you which ways didn't work for me,

"and you can show me which ways didn't work for you.

Together, we'll find our way."

I'll be in the lobby of the Pontchartrain in five minutes.

But you probably already knew that.

I'll be there.

Not being critical, but Margaret Kirby

was able--

Deirdre?

Deirdre.

Deirdre, I don't know what is happening,

but I am taking you home.

I'm not coming home with you.

Oh, yes, you are.

Who did this to you? Was it that Dr. Lamb?

Let go of me.

You are not keeping me from my daughter.

Oh, sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Your daughter is long dead,

and you are a sick, sick, sick little bird.

You understand that if I'm awake now,

so is he.

It's you.
