00:01:06This is Arthur Riley, pastor of Mount Calvary Church.
00:01:12I'm a father and soon a grandfather.
00:01:16I'm a man of God.
00:01:22I'm leaving this for my daughter, Naomi.
00:01:32If anyone else listens, you may need it too.
00:01:37If you found this, it means the rats are back.
00:01:43If they are, beware.
00:02:04I'm on the outside looking in.
00:02:11Can anybody hear me knocking?
00:02:21I'm not.
00:02:23There's no such part.
00:02:33You are great tonight.
00:02:36Nobody gives a shit.
00:02:37They just want to hear music from a decade ago.
00:02:40They just don't know the new stuff yet, babe.
00:02:42Yeah, I'm sure that's it.
00:02:44You've been really inspired making the new record.
00:02:47Don't lose that just because people in some random dive bar didn't love it.
00:02:52All right, spin right out now. Let me move to the next one.
00:03:19Mom, I need you!
00:03:25Just a sec, buddy.
00:03:37Thank you, dude. Really appreciate this.
00:03:47Okay, I get it. Wowie. You want some breakfast?
00:03:50I don't like it in here. I want to go outside.
00:03:53How was the new babysitter last night? She seems really nice.
00:03:55I don't like it.
00:03:59Well, do you like it if I...
00:04:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:04:24Are you going to talk to us today? Come here. You just have to do a little bit of fun.
00:04:39I don't think so.
00:04:41Grayson?
00:04:42I thought that was you.
00:04:44Oh, my God.
00:04:45I haven't seen you in...
00:04:46I don't even know how long.
00:04:47How you been?
00:04:48Oh, we've been good.
00:04:50Been in LA.
00:04:51We've been good.
00:04:54Oh, shit!
00:04:56Dylan! Dylan, what happened? Are you okay? Let me see, let me see.
00:05:00Come on, buddy. Come on, you're all right. Come on. Let's go, let's go. You're all right.
00:05:04It's going to do absolutely nothing about this guy. That is very awful.
00:05:09Thanks.
00:05:14How's he doing?
00:05:15Oh, he's good. They stitched up a gash, but it looked a lot worse than it was, so thank God.
00:05:22The nurse is just wrapping it up now.
00:05:24Hey, I'm sorry if I, like, distracted you or...
00:05:27What? No. Oh, my God. The goat's the asshole. It fucking bit Dee.
00:05:32Yeah, he was an asshole.
00:05:34Were you just coming by, or...?
00:05:35Yeah, I heard you were home. Want to see if I could catch a glimpse of the rock legend?
00:05:40Mm.
00:05:41Hey, I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry about your dad.
00:05:47He was a good man.
00:05:49Yeah.
00:05:52Do you think there's ever been a Bobble Bowl champion with that many tattoos?
00:05:55Uh, I don't know. A guy from Creed, maybe?
00:06:00I should get back to Dylan.
00:06:01Hey, let me know if y'all need anything, okay?
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:05We'll see you around.
00:06:06All right.
00:06:16Can you do that?
00:06:22Amazing. Do it again.
00:06:28Oh.
00:06:29Close. But did you hear this one?
00:06:32It's a tritone.
00:06:33That kind of cord was banned by the church because they said it made people do crazy things.
00:06:36They wouldn't let you play music?
00:06:38It's not even the craziest thing they've done.
00:06:41Anyway.
00:06:42Bedtime. Let's go.
00:06:43No. Let's play something banned.
00:06:46Tomorrow.
00:06:47Let's go.
00:06:49All right.
00:06:50You ready?
00:06:52One.
00:06:53Big breath.
00:06:53Two.
00:06:54Mm-hmm.
00:06:55Three.
00:07:00Oh!
00:07:02You little cheater!
00:07:04I win.
00:07:05I win.
00:07:06Can you check the room, Mom?
00:07:08I heard something the other night.
00:07:10You don't need me to check the room.
00:07:12It's weird here, Mom.
00:07:14It's not weird.
00:07:15It's just old.
00:07:18Get used to it.
00:07:20Okay, look.
00:07:21Give me this guy.
00:07:23Something is here, and you can touch it.
00:07:25It's real.
00:07:27If you can't, it doesn't exist.
00:07:29You can't touch monsters because they're in your head.
00:07:32What about Dad?
00:07:34People say we'll see him again.
00:07:36Is that real?
00:07:38If you close your eyes and you think about him, you can see Dad whenever you want.
00:07:42Okay.
00:07:43I'm gonna go see him right now.
00:07:45Mm-hmm.
00:08:05I'm gonna go see him.
00:08:38I'm gonna go see him.
00:09:08What the...
00:09:10What the...
00:09:11What the...
00:09:26What the...
00:09:37Mm-hmm.
00:09:39Mm-hmm.
00:10:10Mm-hmm.
00:11:01This is Arthur Riley, pastor of Mount Calvary Church.
00:11:06I'm a father, and soon a grandfather.
00:11:11I'm a man of God.
00:11:13I'm leaving this for my daughter, Naomi.
00:11:18If anyone else listens, you may need it too.
00:11:22If you found this, it means the rats are back.
00:11:26If they are, beware.
00:11:29I believe Jesus taught us right and wrong, taught us about God's laws.
00:11:37But I committed the ultimate sin.
00:11:41I took a man's life.
00:11:44His name was Royce Cobb.
00:11:46I thought it was the right thing.
00:11:50I was afraid this thing would destroy people, children.
00:11:54I did it to protect future generations.
00:12:01I buried him here.
00:12:03If anyone listens and needs it, his body won't be hard to find.
00:12:17I buried him here.
00:12:19If anyone listens and needs it, his body won't be hard to find.
00:12:26I walked away.
00:12:26Let's go.
00:12:56Let's go.
00:13:34Let's go.
00:13:36Let's go.
00:13:48V?
00:13:54Dylan?
00:14:06Buddy?
00:14:08Are you okay?
00:14:14Hey, buddy?
00:14:20You okay?
00:14:23What's going on?
00:14:26Uh-huh.
00:14:27Something's not right.
00:14:29What do you mean?
00:14:32I don't think this is the bathroom.
00:14:36It's okay.
00:14:37It's okay.
00:14:38Let's get you changed.
00:14:41You good?
00:14:43Stay, please.
00:14:47Here.
00:14:48If you need me, you blow into this as loud as you can and I'll come right away.
00:14:52I promise.
00:14:59Okay, fine.
00:15:00You win.
00:15:06We'll get used to it together, okay?
00:15:15You all finished your brunch?
00:15:23No games at the table, please.
00:15:30Did something bad happen here?
00:15:33Why would you say that?
00:15:35Just cause everyday feels weirder and weirder.
00:15:38Like something's happening to my brains.
00:15:41Happening how?
00:15:42I don't know.
00:15:43Just like weirdo stuff.
00:15:47Well, next time anything weird happens, can you tell me?
00:15:51Okay.
00:15:51Okay.
00:16:01Oh, man.
00:16:03Dee, I just told you not to play games at the table.
00:16:07You just killed me.
00:16:08Great job.
00:16:09How do you like it if I killed you?
00:16:11Uh, I ended a game.
00:16:13And if you don't get your butt to the bus, you're not playing at all today.
00:16:17Fine.
00:16:18I hate it here.
00:16:25I thought it was the right thing.
00:16:27I was afraid this thing would destroy people.
00:16:31Children.
00:16:32I did it to protect future generations.
00:16:36God said he wouldn't use a flood nor plague.
00:16:39But they used a flood when I was young.
00:16:44I buried him here.
00:16:46If anyone lives...
00:17:02That's 감사합니다, I didn't do it.
00:17:03I felt sorry.
00:17:04It was a nightalo.
00:17:06It's almost easy to burn.
00:17:06Jerry, where is the mountain near all the v died?
00:17:08He's a pretender.
00:17:14Walk with no heaven.
00:17:16I don't know.
00:18:01I don't know.
00:18:19Shit!
00:18:24But they used to flood the city.
00:18:27They flooded the town.
00:18:29And he came for us.
00:18:31We were never the same.
00:18:44Hey, buddy!
00:18:51The ice cream truck's here today.
00:18:52You want some ice cream?
00:18:55I'm sorry we thought earlier.
00:18:57I know how hard it is in a new place, but it will get better.
00:19:00I promise.
00:19:01Nathan says California's horrible and on fire all the time because everyone there is going
00:19:05to hell and it's all homosexuals.
00:19:07Kids say this stuff to you?
00:19:09Nathan does.
00:19:10What do the teachers do?
00:19:11Nothing.
00:19:12Well, Nathan doesn't know what he's talking about because you and I are the only two who've
00:19:15ever been to California and it's awesome.
00:19:18And why can't we go back?
00:19:20Because it's expensive.
00:19:22And this is just a better place for me to finish my album.
00:19:25It's you!
00:19:27It's you!
00:19:27Right there!
00:19:29It's you!
00:19:31Are you kidding me?
00:19:35Are you serious?
00:19:38What are you doing?
00:19:39What the hell?
00:19:41Who was that?
00:19:42I don't know.
00:19:42Who was that?
00:19:59Who was that?
00:20:04Who was that?
00:20:06Who was that?
00:20:07Who was that?
00:20:08What is the meaning of this incruci?
00:20:12I'm sorry, Baron. I thought I heard voices.
00:20:55Dee? What are you doing? Dee?
00:21:00It's Cobb. He's the one doing it.
00:21:10I'm sorry.
00:21:11I'm sorry.
00:21:28I'm sorry.
00:21:34I'm sorry.
00:21:39I'm sorry.
00:21:46I'm sorry.
00:21:53I'm sorry.
00:22:09Oh, fuck it.
00:22:20Hey, it's Naomi.
00:22:23Yeah, I just wanted to see if maybe you wanted to get dinner sometime.
00:22:30Oh my god.
00:22:32Where? Where did you get this?
00:22:33I mean, I won't say I'm not a hoarder.
00:22:36Jesus.
00:22:37What was with the headphones? You never took those off.
00:22:39Well, after years of therapy, I could safely say that I just didn't want the music to stop.
00:22:44Because I knew that if it did, then I'd have to face the real world and the real world was
00:22:48my parents and all their madness.
00:22:52But, thank goodness that you don't wear that medallion anymore.
00:22:56Don't say that. I would if it hadn't got lost in the move. It's like the only religious thing I
00:23:00still like.
00:23:01I'm religious. You don't like me?
00:23:04Well, who am I to judge?
00:23:05Hey, look, I get why you would.
00:23:07I mean, people think of God like he's some kind of a genie.
00:23:10It's only there to grant wishes.
00:23:13God may exist, but that doesn't mean that he's always on your side and that you're always gonna win.
00:23:19So, what about you?
00:23:20What brought about your conversion?
00:23:22You used to be the damn Bible Bowl champion.
00:23:25Uh, yeah.
00:23:27Well, I mean, I was conflicted for a while.
00:23:29You know, growing up, I would always think I saw God in, like, strange coincidences.
00:23:33You know, when everything would line up perfectly just when you needed them to.
00:23:36You know, you could say it was fate or whatever, but I thought it was God.
00:23:41My husband used to drive his dad to chemo treatments and sit with him and then take him home after.
00:23:49And one day, about a year ago, the hospital was running late and everything was backed up.
00:23:54And on the way home, they were hit by a drunk driver.
00:23:59Both killed instantly.
00:24:03All of those coincidences lined up perfectly.
00:24:07In an almost evil way.
00:24:10So is that God too?
00:24:14It's not God.
00:24:16We're the devil.
00:24:18Just the randomness of a world without either.
00:24:22I'm sorry.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:29Um, can I ask you something?
00:24:31Hm?
00:24:32And I know how this is gonna sound, so.
00:24:35Uh, weird things have been happening here.
00:24:38Um, when I first moved back in, I found a tape that my dad recorded.
00:24:43And on it, he admits to killing a man named Royce Cobb.
00:24:49What?
00:24:50Ever since we moved back, things have been happening in this house.
00:24:54I have been having the craziest dreams.
00:24:57Dylan is acting strange.
00:24:58He's doing and saying really odd things.
00:25:03Like, he's acting much younger than he is.
00:25:05His behavior is regressing.
00:25:08I don't know if he's seeing somebody on the property or-
00:25:10You're messing with me, I get it.
00:25:12I'm not fucking with you.
00:25:18You're a journalist.
00:25:19I thought maybe you could look up this Cobb guy,
00:25:21see if there's any connection to my dad.
00:25:23Or if he's even dead.
00:25:24You know, anything that could help me figure out what the fuck is going on.
00:25:27Nah, you and Dee have been under a lot of stress.
00:25:29I know what stress looks like.
00:25:31This is not stress.
00:25:41Look, even if this was my area, I mean-
00:25:45You really think your dad did this?
00:25:54I don't know.
00:25:56That's kind of the point.
00:26:01Let me think about it.
00:26:25Hey buddy, are you still cool taking the-
00:26:28What?
00:26:39This is Arthur Riley.
00:26:42Pastor of Mount Calvary Church.
00:26:44And pastor there a long time.
00:26:46I'm a father.
00:26:48And soon a grandfather.
00:26:50I'm a man of-
00:26:55Hey.
00:26:55Hi.
00:26:56How's up all night researching?
00:26:57I found out some pretty interesting stuff.
00:26:59Wow.
00:27:00Oh, okay.
00:27:01So for the past 10 years, Cobb's daughter has been talking to anyone who will listen to her about her
00:27:05father and that the police never did shit.
00:27:08She has got some fascinating stuff to say.
00:27:11That's great.
00:27:12We should find a time to go talk to her.
00:27:15She's in my car.
00:27:17Let me go talk to her right now.
00:27:25I'm sorry if I was bugging you that day in town. I've just never seen a star before.
00:27:30Oh, so you were pointing at me, not my son.
00:27:34I don't know your son, but I sure as shit know who you are.
00:27:38So, what did preacher man think of you playing the devil's music?
00:27:42He never listened to any of it. You know, I think when my album Backslider came out, he tried to
00:27:46start a boycott.
00:27:48You ever meet Ted Nugent?
00:27:50The Nuge? Motor City Madman?
00:27:54I never had the pleasure.
00:27:56I put a curse on him once because he stopped answering my letters.
00:28:00You and him are my favorites.
00:28:03Any curses you have on people currently?
00:28:06Well, I can't answer that.
00:28:08There is a situation pending because I was acting erratic, as the police put it.
00:28:14Why don't you tell Naomi what you told me about your father?
00:28:18All he has been missing a long time.
00:28:21When I was young, he kind of abandoned me, Mama.
00:28:24It's always in and out of my life.
00:28:27Seems like now he is out permanently.
00:28:30Any reason someone would have done something to him?
00:28:33Only about 2,000.
00:28:38There's two sides to that man, like a quarter.
00:28:40He could be real nice.
00:28:42He could also start a fight in an empty house.
00:28:45At some point, I don't know, he started doing all kinds of weird stuff.
00:28:48Like, he'd be gone all night, and he'd come home just covered in blood.
00:28:53That animal started showing up all around our property.
00:28:55He was always muttering about some guy named Ryder.
00:29:00Hider.
00:29:01Saying something about a debt being due.
00:29:03It didn't make no sense.
00:29:05Did you ever meet this guy?
00:29:06No. None of his friends didn't either.
00:29:09It helped cross my mind that he might have just been...
00:29:12Going crazy.
00:29:17I assume you talked to the police.
00:29:18I'm so sorry.
00:29:21I got it.
00:29:22Thanks.
00:29:26He never fit in with all the Bible humpers in town.
00:29:29They always looked down on him for being poor.
00:29:31Like some kind of outcast.
00:29:34So he started dipping his toe in the devil's pool.
00:29:37Like he wanted to get back at him.
00:29:40Started spending all his time down by the water.
00:29:42Would never talk about it, but that's when he started in with all the weird stuff with the blood and
00:29:45the animals.
00:29:47It was like he couldn't stop.
00:29:50Like he was drawn to it.
00:29:52At the end, my daddy was full of bad mojo.
00:29:56The blackest kind.
00:29:57Like those snakes where the head can still kill you even after it's been cut off.
00:30:02I'd be scared if I was the one done something to him.
00:30:04He may be dead.
00:30:05But I bet you he's giving hell to whoever done it.
00:30:07Right now.
00:30:09As we speak it.
00:30:10Did you give us the names of his friends?
00:30:12Anyone else you think maybe we should speak to about what might have happened?
00:30:15Of course.
00:30:16Yeah.
00:30:17Y'all let me know what you find out.
00:30:21Hey, you know what hillbilly girls say during sex?
00:30:23What's that?
00:30:25Get off me Uncle Bill.
00:30:28I love that.
00:30:30I'm gonna have a smoke.
00:30:36There's definitely something here.
00:30:39Her dad was in my dream last night.
00:30:41It was the exact same face that was on that poster.
00:30:46You want to go and tell her about the tape?
00:30:48Yes.
00:30:48I just, I need to make sure it's 100% real first.
00:30:51I mean, she could be the one doing all this shit for all I know.
00:30:54Listen, we need to talk to cop's friends.
00:30:56Figure out your dad's connection.
00:30:57Figure out what the hell happened, right?
00:31:01Hello?
00:31:06Wait, wait, wait. He did what?
00:31:08The head of a what?
00:31:12A goat head is not an acceptable item for show and tell.
00:31:16I am so sorry. I had no-
00:31:20This is what Miss Roy's homeroom saw today.
00:31:22I truly can't imagine how-
00:31:24Please, take a look.
00:31:27I know what a goat looks like.
00:31:29The head?
00:31:30Just the head.
00:31:32You've seen that?
00:31:34Because Nathan out there, along with the rest of the class, has now.
00:31:37And you're lucky he's not expelled.
00:31:39Is that the same Nathan that's been bullying my son?
00:31:44I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but your son has had a hard time fitting in.
00:31:49Now, I don't know how you all do things in California, but around here we-
00:31:54You know what? I was raised here, so you can spare me the lecture on how things are done around
00:31:58here.
00:31:58And California isn't some alien planet, it's three fucking states that way.
00:32:02He shouldn't have brought that, obviously.
00:32:04But maybe he'd fit in a little better if he wasn't constantly hearing how different he is.
00:32:09Maybe California isn't the problem.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:14Congratulations, you solved it.
00:32:22Let's go.
00:32:35Where did you find it?
00:32:37Samus.
00:32:38No, the other goat whose head you took to school. Yes, Samus.
00:32:42In the woods. His head was away from the rest of him. My friend Nathan wanted to see it.
00:32:46You're friends with Nathan now?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50Did you hurt Samus?
00:32:53No. I found him like that.
00:32:55Because if you did, he hurt you first. I just want to know the truth.
00:33:00I didn't hurt him. I'm not trying to make you mad at me.
00:33:02I'm not mad at you, I just- I don't want you sent home from school.
00:33:06You don't want to see me?
00:33:07I don't want you in trouble.
00:33:09I love you so much.
00:33:11I just want to cut off your head and carry it around so I can see your face whenever I
00:33:15want to.
00:33:23You feeling okay after today?
00:33:25Yeah. I shouldn't have taken Samus's head to school.
00:33:31Look, if you do something bad or you see something bad, you tell an adult, okay?
00:33:35Okay.
00:33:43What's this?
00:33:44I have a studio now.
00:33:46That's awesome!
00:33:48You want me to check your room?
00:33:50No. I like it when he visits.
00:33:54When who visits?
00:33:57The man.
00:33:58What man? What are you talking about?
00:34:01Grandpa's friend. The one from the flood.
00:34:05I thought he visits you too.
00:34:08What? Who? What are you talking about?
00:34:13Goodbye, Mommy.
00:34:15No, no. No. Hey. Hi.
00:34:18What do you mean?
00:34:19What does he look like?
00:34:21Where does he come from?
00:34:23I don't know. I just wake up and he's here.
00:34:25I'm a dog.
00:34:35No, he's right.
00:34:35No, he's not a dog.
00:34:41What?
00:34:41What?
00:34:41What is the hiding spot?
00:34:41What's the hiding spot?
00:34:41What?
00:34:42What?
00:34:44What?
00:35:49Mom?
00:35:54Don't look back and close your eyes.
00:35:55Come sleep in my room.
00:36:08Don't look back and close your eyes.
00:36:29Dee?
00:36:43Hi, this is Naomi Riley.
00:36:44I'm calling to make sure that Dylan Riley got to school.
00:36:47He did.
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:54Should I check your car and make sure there's no surprise guests?
00:36:58What the hell?
00:37:00You thought you could just steal this?
00:37:01Steal?
00:37:02Seriously?
00:37:03You didn't tell me the body was buried on your property.
00:37:06You didn't tell me that there are clues.
00:37:07Would it have made a difference?
00:37:08The whole point of this is to try and find the body, right?
00:37:13So what the hell else are you not telling me?
00:37:18Look, you helped me through some pretty shitty times in high school, all right?
00:37:21I want to be there for you, but you got to be straight with me.
00:37:24And at some point, Llewellyn...
00:37:25Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:37:27Nobody left me a manual for what to do when your dad leaves you a fucking murder tape.
00:37:32And so I'd like to make sure it's true before I start shouting it to the world.
00:37:35Look, I get it.
00:37:35I get it.
00:37:36I'm just asking you to be straight with me.
00:37:40Yeah.
00:37:42Uh, this.
00:37:44Yeah, this.
00:37:46I'm pretty sure the body's not here.
00:37:48I see.
00:37:52Okay, so on the tape, your dad said that he did it to protect future generations.
00:37:56What would killing Cobb protect you from?
00:37:59I wish I knew.
00:38:02I think.
00:38:03I think we put these pieces together, find the body,
00:38:05hopefully figure out what the hell's going on so we can stop it before anything else happens.
00:38:09I'm not sure we ever defound that goat.
00:38:15He said it was back here.
00:38:25Hey, come here.
00:38:29What is it?
00:38:32I have no idea.
00:38:35Wait.
00:38:48What are you doing?
00:38:52What?
00:38:53Wait.
00:38:55Sure.
00:38:57No.
00:39:00Oh, what the shit?
00:39:01That's weird.
00:39:06That's weird.
00:39:07Okay, so what?
00:39:08Are we supposed to dig?
00:39:13Hey, hey.
00:39:15What do you think that means?
00:39:17Thirteen.
00:39:19Um.
00:39:26Come with me.
00:39:29My grandfather built this house himself.
00:39:31I think those numbers could be, like, framer's code or something.
00:39:35Framer's code?
00:39:35What's framer's code?
00:39:36It's, like, what they use in the blueprints to figure out where the walls are going to go.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:43Okay, what do we got?
00:39:44These are blueprints, my friend.
00:39:46And if I remember right, framer's code.
00:39:50See?
00:39:51Okay.
00:39:52So.
00:39:55Thirteen.
00:39:56That's the same number on the inside of the bed.
00:39:58That's right here, right?
00:40:00Mm-hmm.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:03Well, it's got to mean something that we're not seeing, right?
00:40:10I, I mean, to my dad, in whatever mental state he was in, all of this shit must have meant
00:40:16something.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:21Spot in the yard, the cross, the tree, and the number 13, which is where we are.
00:40:28I don't know.
00:40:29There's a triangle on the tree.
00:40:31Three points of a triangle.
00:40:34Okay, so what if it is?
00:40:37You remember Miss Martin's class?
00:40:39Connect the midpoints to the sides of a triangle, you get the center.
00:40:53What the hell?
00:40:56What the hell?
00:40:59Oh, my God.
00:41:01Okay.
00:41:06What do we have here?
00:41:15Here.
00:41:21Oh, my God.
00:41:22What do you see?
00:41:29I thought you lost that in the move.
00:41:32Somebody's fucking with me.
00:41:33Somebody is seriously fucking with me.
00:41:36You just think Christopher is the protector of children, yeah?
00:41:40It's almost like someone was trying to bury the symbol, get it out of sight.
00:41:45Your dad said that he was worried about a thing.
00:41:49But?
00:41:51I don't know how to explain this.
00:41:54What does that mean?
00:41:55I mean, maybe something attached itself to you when you guys moved in.
00:42:02I'm just worried about what kind of danger D might be in.
00:42:07We can move.
00:42:08I can take him somewhere else.
00:42:10I've read situations where running even makes it worse.
00:42:14Houses don't get haunted.
00:42:15People do.
00:42:22There's more of them.
00:42:25What is that?
00:42:26I don't know.
00:42:30In case you need this, in case it happens again, in case my actions didn't stop.
00:42:38That guy that Llewellyn was talking about.
00:42:42Ryder Piter.
00:42:46Piper.
00:42:48Wow, what is it?
00:42:50Oh, my God.
00:42:56Well, we found Cobb.
00:43:01Are you starting to believe in things beyond this world?
00:43:04Because your father sure as hell did.
00:43:09Is that an A?
00:43:14Oh, God.
00:43:16No, don't.
00:43:27Oh, fuck.
00:43:32An R.
00:43:37That's supposed to be the name of something, maybe?
00:43:39Yeah, they all look like they're supposed to go together.
00:43:45Loring, does that mean anything to you, Loring?
00:43:47No, but this does.
00:43:54Harling.
00:43:58This guy that my dad was with in the seminary turned into this sort of new age kind of guy.
00:44:03I think he even left the church at some point.
00:44:05Call him.
00:44:08You're not going to like this, but I feel very strongly that we should pray around now.
00:44:15Your father, we need you.
00:44:22Haven't had a lead on this case in five or six years.
00:44:27You ever meet him?
00:44:28Cobb?
00:44:29No.
00:44:30Natural-born thief.
00:44:32Anything not tied down, he'd still fashion a cat lick its own butt.
00:44:35Meaner and shit, too.
00:44:37Yeah, the whole thing just seems kind of weird, don't it?
00:44:41Yeah, I'd say it's all pretty weird.
00:44:43I mean, you're not bringing this to me.
00:44:46That's weird, ain't it?
00:44:47I mean, he might have been a son of a bitch, but that don't mean he don't deserve justice.
00:44:52Look, just listen to the tape, and I think you'll find a pretty cut and dry.
00:45:00You're not going back to L.A. anytime soon, are you?
00:45:02I want you close in case I have any more questions.
00:45:05Yeah.
00:45:07I gotta go notify next to Kim.
00:45:11Did you sign that?
00:45:14For the investigation?
00:45:16It's for me, actually.
00:45:17It's for, uh, well, my wife.
00:45:20She said your fans will buy that on eBay.
00:45:23The Bible Bowl champ becomes a rock star, then discovers a dead body under her house.
00:45:29I gotta tell you, I did not see that coming when you kids were in high school.
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:53If they are, beware.
00:45:59I believe Jesus taught us right and wrong.
00:46:02Taught us about God's law.
00:46:05Shit!
00:46:06I committed the ultimate sin.
00:46:09I took a man's life.
00:46:23I did not know what they are, but where?
00:46:28I believe Jesus taught us right and wrong.
00:46:32But he's about the absolute loss.
00:46:36I do not know what they are, but where?
00:46:40I was about to die and wrong.
00:47:05Don't.
00:47:06You'll only make it worse.
00:47:20Go down the ladder, Dylan!
00:48:04Why don't you guys stay with me for a while?
00:48:08Because it's not fair to you, and I've already booked a motel.
00:48:11That's not the point.
00:48:21Hi, Dr. Guidry. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly.
00:48:25Just hollering. I've heard a lot about you.
00:48:28I know you and your dad didn't see things the same, but he was always a proud papa.
00:48:34Did he ever mention anything about Royce Cobb?
00:48:39Why do you want to know about him?
00:48:42I found a tape on which my father confessed to murdering him, and last night we found human remains under
00:48:51the house with your name carved into the bones, and the words, if my actions didn't stop Piper carved into
00:48:58the box.
00:49:00A cop came to your daddy for help.
00:49:04Years ago in the 1950s, people lived in what was called the valley. Mostly poor people.
00:49:10Town leaders flooded that area to build the lake, Lake Elby.
00:49:15The town was supposed to relocate these people and give them five acres to build new homes, but they backed
00:49:22out on them.
00:49:24There was a man who lived down there. Everybody called him the Piper.
00:49:27He sold ice cream, drove one of them trucks everywhere he went.
00:49:32All the kids followed him like the Pied Piper.
00:49:36He wanted to get revenge on the town, so he lured five of those kids to his house to wait
00:49:42for the water.
00:49:44One child for each acre of land that was promised, but never given.
00:49:49Three of them drowned.
00:49:51Two of them escaped.
00:49:53Royce Cobb and your father.
00:49:57Wasn't no trial cause Piper died in the flood with the children.
00:50:02Years later, Cobb came to your daddy for help.
00:50:05Told him something was happening.
00:50:06He was doing dark things.
00:50:09Hurting animals.
00:50:10Claimed he couldn't help it.
00:50:12Your dad believed this thing was taking over Cobb.
00:50:16And after Cobb died, he was afraid.
00:50:19He was trying to take over him.
00:50:21Until then, your dad didn't think that Piper could affect the doubts.
00:50:24But he realized he was still looking for revenge on the town, however he could get it.
00:50:29So he did what he thought he had to do to stop this thing.
00:50:33When a spirit's unsettled, it has its own dwelling place.
00:50:38Usually a place or dimension that we can't get to.
00:50:41Where it just repeats its final moments over and over.
00:50:46Your daddy believed there were portals into these dwelling places.
00:50:50He was trying to find a way to get there.
00:50:54Because of the spirit's past.
00:50:56I believe it wants to wreak havoc on the children.
00:51:01Adults have to have much closer proximity to evil to be affected or controlled.
00:51:07But that's not the case with the child.
00:51:09Since it was two children that escaped before.
00:51:12My guess is he's looking for two children to repay the debt.
00:51:16What?
00:51:17Do you have kids?
00:51:20A son.
00:51:21How's he doing?
00:51:24Not great.
00:51:26I need you to keep a close eye on him and I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:51:33You'll be okay.
00:51:34You're a coward and I'm not afraid.
00:51:37The hell?
00:51:38I ain't afraid of you.
00:51:40Oh shit.
00:51:40I ain't afraid.
00:51:41Are you kidding me?
00:51:43Are you serious?
00:51:44Well, and I'm so, so sorry.
00:51:47There is a curse here.
00:51:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:49I'm sorry.
00:51:49I didn't want you to find out.
00:51:50No, don't say a word.
00:51:52There is a curse.
00:51:53I'm, I'm trying to remove it if it ain't too late.
00:51:57We taunt the evil.
00:51:58Cause we ain't afraid of cowards.
00:52:02Thank you for finding out the truth about my daddy.
00:52:05Maybe his soul can rest now.
00:52:09Um, can I ask you something?
00:52:12Yeah.
00:52:13The name that, um, your dad kept talking about.
00:52:18Ryder.
00:52:19Piter.
00:52:19Could it have been Piper?
00:52:23Yes, that's it.
00:52:26He would mumble.
00:52:27Piper.
00:52:28And, and then he'd hum.
00:52:30This.
00:52:37Hello?
00:52:38Hi, Miss Riley.
00:52:39This is Rose from Bailey Elementary.
00:52:40I was calling to find out the reason for Dylan's absence today.
00:52:44What?
00:52:45No.
00:52:46I dropped him off myself this morning.
00:52:48Miss Gartner said she hasn't seen him today.
00:52:52Uh, I'll, I'll, I'll be right there.
00:52:55What's going on?
00:52:56Dylan was not schooled today.
00:52:58911, what's your emergency, please?
00:53:02Yeah, I spoke to Llewellyn.
00:53:04She, uh, she denied him.
00:53:08Is there anybody else you can think of might have done this?
00:53:12No.
00:53:16I, I, I, I mean, what if it's something bigger than this?
00:53:23What do you mean by that?
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:26I just, something to do with Cobb.
00:53:29Like, um, I don't know, it's like fucking force.
00:53:33Something supernatural.
00:53:37Just supernatural.
00:53:43There's another child I went missing earlier today, Nathan Hudson.
00:53:46He was in Dee's class, yeah?
00:53:49Yeah.
00:53:50He said Nathan started following him around.
00:53:54Alright, well I'm hoping maybe they just ran off together and they'll, they'll turn up soon enough.
00:53:58Regardless, we got a search team about to go out any minute.
00:54:00But I need for y'all to stay here.
00:54:02In case Dee comes back.
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:04Alright.
00:54:12I know you're under a lot of stress.
00:54:14So I'm just gonna forget about that whole supernatural shit you just said.
00:54:18But don't say that again.
00:54:19Or I'll have to come back and ask you some much tougher questions.
00:54:24Like I said earlier, I'm just doing my job.
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:41Just waiting.
00:54:43Yeah.
00:55:08As a parent, you have one job.
00:55:13Protect your child.
00:55:18Hey.
00:55:20Nobody could have been prepared for this.
00:55:26You know when Harlan's getting here.
00:55:29So many times now.
00:55:32I did some asking around.
00:55:36Some people say he's crazy.
00:55:40Others say he's a prophet that saves lives.
00:55:48Let's hope it's the latter.
00:55:53Damn.
00:56:14No.
00:56:30I don't give a fuck if you are mad.
00:56:33They ain't this shit.
00:56:35But I ain't here to make friends.
00:56:37I'm here to save your boy.
00:56:43Oh, yeah.
00:56:45Yeah, there's definitely something going on in here.
00:56:48What, you think we should call in the church or something?
00:56:52The church?
00:56:54You watch the news lately?
00:56:56The church ain't got no more saying this matter than you are.
00:57:00What you need is Jesus. You got that?
00:57:03Well?
00:57:05Well, what?
00:57:07Are you willing to call on Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior?
00:57:12I thought you left the church.
00:57:13I left the church because the church is full of shit.
00:57:16But God ain't. Jesus ain't.
00:57:18You believe in the devil and all the evil he puts in this world, don't you?
00:57:22What the hell you think is going on in here?
00:57:24Parlor games and trick-or-treat?
00:57:26I assure you, this here evil is real, and it's got your boy in his grasp.
00:57:31You cannot fight this shit with one hand tied behind your back.
00:57:34Your boy needs you to fight for him.
00:57:38You don't have to believe, but promise me you'll stay open.
00:57:41Otherwise, I can't help you.
00:57:46Can you do that?
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:52All right.
00:57:56I want you to show me where everything happened.
00:58:03A lot of it was in Dee's room.
00:58:06Mm-hmm.
00:58:08Do you have that necklace that you mentioned?
00:58:17St. Christopher's pointed to look over kids in the grasp of evil.
00:58:22This could have been the only thing that kept you from totally losing him.
00:58:28Did you find a key in your dad's things?
00:58:32Yeah.
00:58:33How did you know that?
00:58:35Do you know what it goes to?
00:58:37All I know is Cobb gave it to your dad, and your daddy thought it was important.
00:58:59My mommy told me I need to tell someone when I do something bad.
00:59:03So I'm telling you.
00:59:05I wanted to kill Samus for a long time.
00:59:09I've done other bad stuff.
00:59:17Unfortunately, these kind of things are normal in situations like this.
00:59:22Let's gather the rest of those up, and let's go through them.
00:59:36Where is God when something like this happens to a child?
00:59:43If he's not here for things like this, then what's the point?
00:59:50Please don't lose faith.
00:59:53I think it helps.
00:59:54If that means it helps me.
01:00:01This thing knows that the way to really hurt a parent, you hurt the child.
01:00:09It's what he wants.
01:00:10Let's look at the original story of the Pied Piper, right?
01:00:13The kids were let out of town, just like the rats.
01:00:17Nobody knows what happened to them.
01:00:19Did they die?
01:00:21Did they go someplace and suffer because there was no one to look after them?
01:00:26Usually when we look at the story, we look at the parents' despair.
01:00:30But what if the children were actually suffering more because they were kept alive, but neglected?
01:00:41Which begs the question, what's worse?
01:00:46A world without children?
01:00:59You want to hear the world's shortest prayer?
01:01:05Fuck it.
01:01:07Fuck it.
01:01:08As in fuck it, it's in God's hands.
01:01:11When you were a believer, how did God speak to you?
01:01:17Was it dreams?
01:01:20Was it prophecy, signs?
01:01:22Strange coincidences.
01:01:25Okay.
01:01:30We're going to have to baptize you, original style.
01:01:35None of the sprinkles and shit like that.
01:01:37Old school, straight from the Bible.
01:01:40Because you need to be ready when it's time to fight for your boy.
01:01:52What are you doing?
01:02:13Are you hoping to getting baptized?
01:02:21That voice on the tape, is that the thing that possessed my son?
01:02:24It's more complicated than that.
01:02:25That is more about influence.
01:02:28My guess is the pipe was using his influence on D like an antenna to broadcast his message.
01:02:34That's how he drew that other boy that went missing.
01:02:36He could lead others away by using whoever he's affected.
01:02:40Early Christians believed that true baptism required God to bring you back to the surface.
01:02:47The idea was man puts you under.
01:02:49God brings you back.
01:02:53Don't go out there unless you really, really ready to do this.
