00:02Previously on Sacred Lies
00:04We know she came from that cult
00:06What kind of nuts follow a prophet named Kevin anyway?
00:08Speak now, and Charlie will forgive you
00:10But if you lie, the sweet Olivia Bly will just be the beginning
00:15She's gone, baby
00:16Tell me about Philip Lancaster
00:17Do you know who I am?
00:19Why'd you attack him?
00:20His eyes, they're green, like God's
00:23I was trying to kill God
00:40Kevin Groth never fit in
00:42He was small for his age
00:45Sickly
00:46He had no friends
00:56But one day, at the end of school
00:59Kevin was drawn to a fateful door
01:02That would change his life forever
01:13Kevin stepped across a threshold
01:16Into destiny
01:25And found himself standing in the presence
01:28Of God
01:35God offered his hand
01:37And with his powerful green eyes fixed on Kevin
01:40Waited to see if he was ready to know
01:43All things
01:45And he was
01:47And with that one touch
01:50The boy was imbued with all the secrets of the universe
02:10From that moment
02:12Kevin became the prophet
02:14Touched by the green-eyed stranger named Charlie
02:18Now
02:19Prophet can hear Charlie's voice
02:21So then what?
02:24Well
02:24Charlie led the prophet to find us
02:27To bring us here
02:28To save us
02:30When the outside world is destroyed
02:33It will be our job to build a new one
02:35Better one
02:37So
02:37Is Charlie always just waiting in a bathroom somewhere?
02:41No
02:41Of course not
02:42But
02:44I mean you could
02:45Meet him anywhere
02:47Charlie walks the earth in every generation
02:49He dies
02:50And is reborn
02:51Over and over
02:53So
02:54Charlie's out there
02:55Right now
02:57Walking around somewhere?
02:58Yes
02:59He is
03:00The Charlie the prophet met
03:02Died about 18 years ago
03:03And a new Charlie was born
03:04Which means
03:06He's about my age
03:07And if you see him
03:09You will know him right away
03:11Because of his green eyes
03:17Cole's looking at you again
03:29Any more questions?
03:32What about mommy?
03:35When the old world dies
03:36Can
03:36She come with us?
03:44Of course she can
03:48Our loved ones
03:49Spirits live
03:50In nature
03:51All around us
03:52When Charlie comes for us
03:54They will rise
03:55Beautiful and pure
03:56To join us
03:57Prophet
03:59But are the stars really Charlie's eyes?
04:02Yeah
04:02He watches over all of us every night
04:04Both the living
04:06And the dead
04:08But
04:09How are his eyes up in the sky
04:11If he's
04:11Really Charlie walking the earth
04:13And
04:14Why aren't all the stars green?
04:16Constance
04:16It's a nice question
04:17No she's fine
04:22Charlie's way is how mysterious
04:26Only he can answer everything
04:31Good schooling
04:32Keep on
04:50What do you think about all that?
04:52I think it's
04:55It's quite a story
04:56You think we were all crazy for believing him?
04:58No I didn't say that
04:59You don't have to
05:01I'm not stupid
05:02I know how it sounds
05:03But that doesn't mean
05:05None of it's true
05:06You're right
05:07The best lies
05:09Always contain an element of truth
05:11But can you prove he was lying?
05:13The prophet could have met Charlie
05:15And he could be out there
05:16Walking around right now
05:18Like Philip Lancaster
05:21What do we do?
05:22Kick every green eye boy to death
05:24Till we find the right one?
05:25I was confused
05:28But that doesn't mean
05:30Charlie's not real
05:36And if it is true
05:41That means
05:42We're all doomed
05:48Just like
05:49The prophet said
05:52I think it's fair to assume
05:54That whatever the prophet told you
05:56Is
05:58Unlikely
05:59But you can't prove it
06:08A
06:24Come on crazy
06:26You're lying
06:30Excuse me
06:33Matthew
06:341930
06:35But many who are first
06:37Will be last
06:38And many who are last
06:40Will be first
06:41I heard that
06:44Hi, Mano
06:45Just wondering if you thought more
06:46About coming to youth group
06:47Just to check it out
06:48Hey!
06:49She doesn't want to come
06:50To your lame-ass youth group
06:52That's Angel 1-1
06:53Feel free to quote me
07:03Why is everybody so scared of you?
07:06Been here since I was 12
07:09Learned real quick
07:09To get respect
07:10One of two ways
07:11Love or fear
07:12Love doesn't work for me
07:20Time for my morning coffee
07:22Angel Trujillo
07:25Prophet said all drugs are bad
07:27They're liquefying our brains
07:28And making men
07:29Grow boobs
07:30They wish
07:36Chewing them
07:37Makes them work faster
07:38The Adderall
07:39Tastes like Skittles
07:43You know why
07:49You've never seen that one before
07:50What is that?
07:52Trazodol?
07:53Lithium?
07:54No, it's Ativan
07:55Is it Ativan?
07:56It's a multivitamin
07:57The girl's been living in the woods
07:59She's vitamin deficient
08:15So, you don't believe in God?
08:18Nope
08:20Why not?
08:22Because I don't need God
08:24I've got Google
08:28How do you know you can trust him?
08:32Who?
08:32Google
08:34Google is not a person
08:36It's the internet
08:39It's information from all over the place
08:42Facts
08:45So, you don't believe in anything
08:48I believe in things that you can see and prove
08:51Logic, patterns, rational thought, science
08:56Everything else is just superstition
08:58Well, the prophet always said that science is a
09:00You're pissing me off with the prophet said this and the prophet said that
09:03He was just another old creep telling you what to believe
09:07People made up religion to explain all the crap they couldn't understand
09:11But now, we can explain everything
09:15Science?
09:21What?
09:22Teach me science
09:25I don't have time to teach you science
09:29Science is a big concept
09:31You're locked up for 20 years, right?
09:33What else have you got to do that's so important?
09:36I could learn Russian
09:38Or, like, crochet or whatever
09:41Please
09:41I need to know for myself what's real
09:44Not what somebody tells me
09:46I need proof
09:47And if that's what science can do
09:50That's what I need
09:56Okay, crazy
09:59Welcome to my church
10:15Thank you for seeing me, Miss Groth
10:17I'd like to ask you a few questions about your son, Kevin
10:22Kevin was two when his father died
10:24And six months later, he was diagnosed with IPF
10:27Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
10:30It's a very serious condition
10:31It's usually
10:32Fatal?
10:33Yes
10:35The doctors gave me no hope
10:37They said a few years at best
10:39But then, one day, Kevin was healed
10:42His lungs just opened up
10:44The doctors tried to explain it away
10:47But I knew it was a miracle
10:50God didn't take my son
10:52Because he had a divine mission
10:58Mom, I shouldn't get worked up
10:59Her blood pressure's not great
11:02I'm fine, Carl
11:03I'm fine
11:09We're talking
11:11Kevin was a good boy
11:13He was kind and smart
11:15Oh, and he had such a way with animals
11:18How so?
11:20Well, there was this stray dog that Kevin found
11:23It was in terrible shape, near death
11:26And Kevin healed him
11:28He nursed him, brought him back to life
11:30Just like Jesus
11:33That dog followed him everywhere
11:36He just adored Kevin
11:38Everyone did
11:39Did Kevin ever mention someone named Charlie?
11:46Charlie
11:50I don't remember that name
11:52Carl?
11:53Yeah, I heard him mentioned a couple of times
11:57Someone he knew in high school
11:58I have a photo album in the other room
12:01From when he was that age
12:02Would you like me to get it?
12:03No, that'd be great
12:29That isn't really who he was
12:33What do you mean?
12:36That dog
12:39Kevin beat the crap out of that dog
12:40Just so he could save it
12:43That's why it followed him around
12:44That dog hated Kevin
12:46But it was scared to death of him, too
12:49Why do you think Kevin did that?
12:51To be admired, loved, who knows
12:54All I know is Kevin didn't give a rat's ass about that dog
12:57It was all about him
12:59You hear the way she talks about him
13:02They pissed wine and walked on water
13:05I'm the one who's been here taking care of her all these years
13:08And where the hell was he?
13:12About finding more dogs to beat
13:17That's who Kevin was
13:37I'm so sorry, Rose
13:39It's okay, Mino
13:43Really
13:46I'm sorry
13:52Constance
13:53Fill the cups on the left first
13:55How many times do I have to tell you?
13:58I can do it for her
13:59No
14:01Your sister needs to learn to do things the right way
14:04Not her way
14:09Great, now you're splashing everywhere
14:12God's eyes, girl
14:13Can't you do anything right?
14:14Don't talk to her like that
14:15You're not her mother
14:24If my mother had climbed out of a bottle long enough
14:27To teach me the right way to do things
14:29My life would have been a hell of a lot easier
14:39Hmm
14:40That fried chicken and chocolate chip cookies I smell
14:43No, it's squirrel stew and metal cake
14:47You're so silly, Daddy
14:48Yes, I am
14:50That's why Mama Vivi and I are such a good match
14:53Because we make her laugh
14:54That's not the only reason
14:56I'm gonna give me these potatoes so I can finish
15:01And tell these girls to do what I tell them
15:05Hmm
15:09Girls, you listen to Vivian
15:10She's the woman of the house now
15:13Hey
15:24Don't worry
15:25I'll talk to her
15:28Hey
15:30Green smoke
15:34You know
15:37Come on
15:39Get up
15:41Gotta go
15:47Are we escaping?
15:50Shh
15:52Shh
16:08Where are we going?
16:10Shh
16:10What will Mrs. New do to us if we're gone?
16:12How about we don't get gone?
16:34Keep a short leash on this one
16:37Come on, let's go
16:45You got ten minutes, that's it
16:47Thanks, Mom
16:48Girl, did I push you up my body?
16:51Gross
16:51Exactly
16:52So quit calling me that
16:54Goofball
17:15It's wonderful
17:16It's wonderful
17:17You ain't seen nothing yet
17:22Look
17:24Look
17:24There they are
17:28So dope
17:38Hey
17:40What's wrong with you?
17:50Green smoke meant Charlie had a message
17:57Look up there, do you see them?
18:00The streaks of light across the sky
18:03What's the Charlie's tears falling on account of us?
18:06God was crying because of the millions that were going to have to die
18:11To wash the outside world clean of all the filth
18:14And poison
18:16He said
18:18Charlie doesn't want to kill his own children, but
18:22He has no choice
18:24Can you feel it?
18:26His sadness
18:29His pain
18:34He said we all had to pray
18:37To dry Charlie's tears
18:39To let him know we believed with all our hearts
18:43That we would never, ever doubt him
18:47Because only the true chosen would survive
19:00Come down crazy
19:02They're just meteors
19:05It's the Geminid meteor shower
19:09They call it that because it looks like the meteors are falling
19:12Right out of the constellation Gemini
19:14They get stronger every year as they get closer to Earth
19:18The prophet told us they were God's tears
19:22Yeah, well
19:23People believe all kinds of things that aren't true
19:27They'd rather have a lie
19:28Than a question they don't know the answer to
19:32Patty
19:33Can I talk to you?
19:35What's up, little fish?
19:38I have this
19:41Memory
19:45From before
19:48Something we did together as a family
19:52With mom
19:57Uh-huh
20:00We
20:01Drove out
20:03Into the country
20:05To watch the falling stars
20:09They look
20:11The same
20:12As tonight
20:18So
20:21What we saw tonight
20:26Weren't they just
20:29Falling stars?
20:30We were wrong before
20:33Everything we thought we knew, we didn't
20:36Those stars are Charlie's eyes watching down on us
20:40Charlie's eyes can't fall
20:48It's not your turn to watch for Charlie tonight
20:58Keep you company
20:59Keep you company
21:02Thanks daddy
21:05But how
21:06How do you know that they're meteors?
21:09Telescopes have seen them
21:11People have studied them
21:13They found pieces of meteors on the ground
21:16And they put them in museums
21:18Or space rocks
21:20That's all
21:21Like I told you
21:23There is a scientific explanation for everything
21:26Stars
21:27Planets
21:28Solar systems
21:29Galaxies
21:31All of it was created
21:33Billions of years ago
21:34In one
21:35Big explosion
21:36Called the
21:37Big Bang
21:40What was there before?
21:43Before what?
21:45Before the
21:47Big Bang
21:53We don't know
21:55Yet
21:58But someday we will
22:02Time's up ladies
22:03Let's go
22:16That's Charlie
22:19In the back
22:20On the right
22:21Charles Dunlop
22:23I checked the records
22:24He worked as a janitor
22:25When Kevin Groth was a student
22:28This was taken 25 years ago
22:30For the school centennial
22:31How long did Charlie work here?
22:33Almost 30 years
22:36But
22:36Once the school board became aware of his
22:40Predilections
22:41Charlie was let go
22:43What predilections?
22:45I don't know
22:46How much interaction
22:47Kevin had with Charlie
22:48But
22:50There were some issues
22:52Complaints about
22:53Inappropriate behavior with students
22:56But no charges were ever filed
22:58This was years ago
22:59Before my time here
23:01You know what happened to Charlie?
23:04He passed away shortly after his dismissal
23:08Cancer I think
23:09Take care sir
23:13But
23:13I'm too interested in talking about
23:14And
23:19Will fail
23:20Before theж
23:21As
23:21Of course
23:21All of my time
23:38I think
23:38He was anitor
23:39decir
23:39Stevestep
24:41So, am I supposed to feel sorry for him?
24:45You're telling me the prophet made everything up.
24:50It's all just a bunch of lies, but that's okay.
24:54Because something bad happened to him?
24:56No, I'm telling you that to show you that Kevin Groth was just a man.
25:01And so was Charlie.
25:03Not gods or prophets, just people.
25:08People will invent entire worlds to hide their pain.
25:13Or to share it.
25:16It doesn't excuse it.
25:17It just begins to explain it.
25:25Have you...
25:28Have you ever felt something you can't...
25:32explain?
25:35Every night, we would take turns keeping watch.
25:40In case Charlie came.
25:51We would cleanse ourselves to be pure for him.
26:02And we would wait.
26:05You're...
26:07...
27:13Mom?
27:17Mom?
27:19Angel says everything can be explained by science.
27:23But that night, I felt something I can't explain.
27:36Do you believe me?
27:38I believe you experienced what is called pareidolia.
27:42It's a phenomenon that causes people to see familiar patterns where none exist.
27:50You were cold, tired.
27:52You looked into the darkness and saw what you wanted to see.
27:56I know what I saw.
28:01Mino, is it possible that you're holding on to what the prophet told you because you're afraid if you stop
28:11believing, your mother won't come back?
28:23But even if none of it's true, when I saw her, I felt peace.
28:36Like I was connected to something so much bigger than me.
28:44And I don't know what that was, but I know what I felt was true.
28:57It was real.
28:59It was real.
29:02It was real.
29:10It was real.
29:14It was real.
29:14It was real.
29:20It was real.
29:23It was real.
29:26It was real....
29:31It
29:33was real. Oh,
29:35God.
29:36Oh, my God.
30:05Oh, my God.
30:36In the shower.
