Can you get me some help? I need some help here.
Ryan? Ryan! You asshole, when did you get back into town? Well, hello, sis.
You don't give a shit about anyone but you.
If a soul wants to move on but finds itself trapped, that soul will lash out at the living.
[SCREAMING.]
As long as the power's out, nowhere is safe.
My mother, Maggie, where is she? She's dead.
- Hey, Roman, right on time.
- What did you do to her, Father?! - What's happening? - Oh, wow, you know what? You know what, baby? The town the town's drawing too much power for this generator.
This is major demand.

I'm gonna shut down a couple of the smaller grids! Paolo? Paolo? [EXPLOSION.]
Billy! Billy! Come on, Billy.
- Goddammit, come on! - Oh, dear God! The town's drawing too much power from the generator.
Billy said to turn off some of the smaller grids.
Come on.
Godammit, Billy.
Do you know which system goes to the church? He didn't say.
Whew.
That was a hell of a blast, Danny.
I gotta tell ya.
I felt like I was knocked right out of my Please, Billy.
Out of my boots.
Billy! No, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
I can't this Oh, this can't be happening.
This this isn't happening.
Billy come on! - Landis, you did it! - That's it.
- You did it! - He's breathing.
He's breathing.
I got a heart beat.
We're gonna have to get him into town.
Lambda's closer.
We've got medical facilities.
Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Roman! - Roman! - Roman! - What the hell? - No, no, no! This way! This way! We have to stick together to help each other out! Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me! You need my help? The way that the way that you helped me? - What? - The way that you helped my mother? I know that you ran her out of town.
I know.
And she died.
So what happened? Now you just hang on.
Okay, yeah.
- We made her leave.
- What happens next, Doug, is she died.
And that's on you.
That's on all of you.
I'll do what I can but I'm warning you right now, I'm not a medical doctor.
You've got medical equipment, drugs? Yeah, in case of an emergency but we're not designed to be a hospital.
There must be something you can do.
I can take a stool sample, draw some blood.
Go back upstairs.
Get Paolo to find Dr.
Dufresne.
We both know that Port Moore is a better place without Nadine Mercer.
If she's dead and we drove her away - It's not our fault.
- Roman doesn't believe that.
And we need him on our side.
He either does the right thing or he doesn't.
That blood is on his hands.
I just don't want it to be my blood.
At least you're not them.
And you've got one more day.
Val.
Mar? Oh, God.
- Are the girls okay? - Yeah, they're inside.
They're safe.
- What happened? - I spent the night holed up Father Dan just radioed.
There's been an accident.
It's Billy.
- He's moving.
- Yes, he's twitching.
It's normal in electrocution victims.
I can't lose him.
He's gonna be all right.
- You done this before? - Me and Billy, Doug and Rodney.
Yes.
These ghosts have a way of dredging up our secrets.
They forced us to deal with our past.
They helped us heal old wounds.
Yes.
I'm hoping that everyone heals.
His heart rate's erratic.
I should I should go back to the church.
[FLATLINING.]
Okay, he's going into VFIB.
Forget the medication.
I need that crash cart.
[FLATLINING.]
That's the last one.
Oh, God, our help in ages past Our hope for years to come Our shelter from the stormy blast - And our eternal - Carol! Please.
Norm.
Leave her alone.
Beneath the shadow of thy throne So what do we do now? What do you think we do? We bury them.
And our defenses sure Clear.
[BEEPING RETURNS TO NORMAL.]
Uh huh.
He's got a heart beat.
It's slow and weak but it's steady.
Thank you.
Father.
Thank God you're all right.
I I heard there was an injury and I It was Billy McGrath.
The wicked are doomed.
They get exactly what they deserve.
Here.
We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Carol.
Yes.
You've been through a lot.
It was awful.
Like hell on earth.
You're okay.
You're strong.
- Thank God we have our faith, Father.
- May the Lord be our saviour.
I see that Doug's leading the funeral committee.
Now that you're here I'm sure No, no, that's okay.
He's gonna do a fine job.
I'm gonna get some rest.
- You should go home.
- Go.
- I'll take you.
- I I'm fine.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He's in neurogenic shock and he's, uh he's still struggling to breathe.
There's still a chance though, right? Of course there's still a chance, Landis.
I mean, doc, don't give up, tell them there's still a chance.
It's only a matter of time.
No.
No.
No, no.
Come on, I'm right here.
I'm I'm here, I'm right here.
What do you want? I need some help at the church.
Sorry, why would I do that? I'm I'm really sorry about Nadine.
And I wish you knew the truth about her leaving.
If you wanted me to know the truth, Doug, then why didn't you just tell me the truth? Why didn't anyone tell me the truth? Why didn't Dan? I know what you're thinkin'.
Hell, I've had the same thoughts myself.
But if you act on 'em, you're gonna be digging two graves.
One for Dan and one for yourself.
That didn't stop you from shooting Rodney.
And it didn't bring back Maggie, either.
It changed nothing.
I'll be waiting for you at the church.
VAL: Is there anything you can do for him? Maybe if I was a trauma specialist and I had the equipment that I needed.
I did the best I could.
Hey, no one's saying you didn't.
It's up to Billy now.
We can't let him die.
Right? He dies, he turns into one of those things.
We just hand him over to the enemy? He deserves better than that.
CAROL: Father! Carol.
Where are you? I'm coming! Father! Yes, I'll be there in a minute.
- Yes? - We're done outside.
I thought you'd like to say a few words.
Yes, of course I will.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
- You look ill.
- Carol, please.
I don't know about you but I could use a drink.
Do you even know what we're doing here? Yeah, I know what we're doing here, Doug.
Okay? It's the same thing that we did two days ago, and a couple days before that.
I'm getting pretty tired of burying my friends.
You're tired of it but don't let it become the new normal.
- Doug.
- Father.
I want to thank you.
I want to thank all of you for volunteering.
Neighbours and family and friends, they deserve a proper burial.
So thank you.
May they be granted eternal rest, dear Lord.
May the perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls rest.
Mercy of God and peace.
That's it? He's not feeling well.
I don't think there's much left to say.
You just got mad at me for wanting a drink.
There's drinkin', and then there's drinking appropriately.
Roman.
Hey, Roman! Oh, for fuck sake.
I'm a ghost.
What happened to you? I got electrocuted at the dam.
- Thanks for that.
- No.
No, you don't get to pull the guilt card on me.
Hey, Roman.
I don't understand what's going on right now.
I'm in a coma at Lambda and I'm standing right here talking to you at the exact same time.
Like, what the fuck? You're dead, Billy.
Get used to it.
[LAUGHS.]
- Where's mommy M? - It's this way.
Getting some rest.
She was up all morning helping Uncle Billy get better.
Is Uncle Billy gonna die? We don't know, honey.
Of course not.
Don't be stupid.
Izzy.
Well, she is.
She knows Uncle Billy isn't dead, he's just on vacation from his body.
Abby! Abby! No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey.
Not again.
You have to keep up.
You can't keep disappearing on me honey.
I can't be dead.
I can't be dead.
I can't be dead.
My my body's hooked up to a heart monitor, my heart is beating.
Then you're dying.
It makes sense.
You don't look like them.
How do I get back? I wanna live, Roman.
I wanna hug my nieces, you know? I wanna I wanna hang with my sister.
You know, we're actually finally getting along now.
If I die she's gonna fucking kill me.
- You've gotta help me.
- I really don't.
I'll haunt the shit out of you.
Good luck with that.
There's nothing I can do for you.
Bullshit! Roman, that's bullshit! What do you need from me? What do you want? What I want you to do is get out of here! Okay.
I've got my own shit that I have to deal with.
Your mom.
Okay.
Okay.
You wanna know why I ran your mom out of town? It was to protect her.
Okay? There were people who were gonna do way worse to her and to you Do you understand what you did to me? I thought my mom abandoned me.
I I thought that she hated me and now she's dead - and you really need to go.
- You gotta trust me.
- I don't have to trust you! - Oh, dude.
If you were protecting her, who were you protecting her from? It doesn't matter.
It does matter! - Do you mind? - Do you? I'll finish this later, I guess.
Yeah, you do that.
[GROWLS.]
Everything all right? Shut up, Norm.
You want one? I wouldn't say no.
Izzy, why did you say Uncle Billy was on vacation from his body? Did you see him? No.
Did he speak to you? - She's just making it up.
- I am not.
Izzy, it's important you tell me.
You won't believe me.
Why would you say that? You don't believe me about Abigail.
Izzy, can you get a message to Uncle Billy? I don't know.
VAL: If you can, if you tell him I wanna know everything.
Okay.
Your mom, you think she was just a psychic with powers and shit like that, no.
She was dark.
She did some really dark shit.
She even blackmailed people.
Who? You? Dan? My old man.
She blackmailed my old man.
She didn't wanna do that, try and get one over on Connor McGrath, but she tried.
It didn't work and whatever she said, it started the whole thing.
Wait, what does that have to do with what was it? I don't know.
That's why they're called secrets, Roman.
My old man wouldn't tell me.
He didn't want me to know.
He didn't want the town to know.
He just wanted your mom gone.
How does Dan fit into it? Well, he drove her to Anchorage and got her on a plane.
And you saw that happen? Bring it up with Dan.
What're you doing with a gun? Roman.
Roman.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
What is happening to me now? - Nothing's happening to you.
- [GASPS.]
You did this to yourself.
Happy birthday, Roman.
Love, Mom.
San Francisco is amazing.
Love, Mom.
I had your best interest at heart.
I wish that you were here right now with me.
I miss you so much.
Love, Mom.
I was trying to protect you.
None of it was real! None of it was real.
I hate my mother because of you.
I hate my mother because of you.
What do you want? Where is she? Where is she? I'll take you to her.
You've been apart for long enough.
This ain't a trick, I promise.
I I don't want this.
I wanna live.
Then why are you still here? Jesus, why do you still sound like a magic fu eight ball? Nadine, help me, please.
Remember when I needed your help? What kind of man would turn his back like that? I had nothing to do with your death.
Same old Billy.
Now you can reap what you sowed.
Please.
Please.
If you really wanted to live you'd be there by now.
Well, I I guess I'm here because I needed your son's help, right? Just do it, Billy.
Let go.
It's easy.
And if there's one thing I know, you always liked easy.
Where the fuck am I now? No.
No.
No.
Remember that time we all blew off school to go see Aerosmith? - Yes.
- In Anchorage? Oh, man, my dad wanted to kill you.
That was your idea.
And if I had told him that he would have killed me.
How does someone get a drink around here? Bar service only.
There was, what? There was eight of us jammed into that motel room.
Mmm-hmm.
- You, me, Stinky Pete.
- Stinky Pete.
[LAUGHS.]
- Wendell.
- Yeah.
Richard, Kim, Sherry and Andrea.
I don't know what your dad was so mad about.
He thought you were gonna get me pregnant.
Well Turns out he had nothing to worry about.
Thank you.
Enjoy this.
It's the last of the good stuff.
You know, I have a bottle at my place.
I'm sure you do.
I gotta tell ya.
Last night in the church, it was good to see you.
The old Karla.
- Old? - [LAUGHS.]
You know what I mean.
The original recipe Karla, not this buttoned up conservative version.
- I missed her.
- Norm.
My life's messy enough.
You can't tell me that everything's perfect.
What, me and Paolo? Yeah, that that wasn't a fight.
You should see us fight.
You want something else.
I can tell.
What I want is to forget I'm living in hell for a few hours.
I can help you out with that, too.
I'm sure you can.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Oh.
Uh, I'm sorry.
- I'll I'll come back.
- No, it's okay.
Stay.
Just didn't want him to be alone, you know? Thanks.
I wanna live.

It happened here.
I was driving her to Anchorage.
And then? I got distracted.
[CAR CRASHES.]
An accident? And you didn't you didn't tell anyone? Nah, I don't believe you.
I was afraid, Roman, and I was questioning I was questioning my faith.
I'd been drinking.
And that's not an excuse, it's an explanation.
I never meant to hurt you.
I don't believe you.
- Do you wanna go? - Yeah.
Can you stay? I have to take the girls home and I don't want him to be alone, either.
Of course.
Thanks.
Girls, come on.
Let's go.
Billy? I see you, you know.
Your strength.
And your sweetness.
I love you, too.
Yeah.
Billy? Hi.
Hello? Father Dan? Boo-hoo.
I made you some muffins.
Thank you, varsity wrestling.
What in the name of the lord Fuck yeah.
Sweet Jesus.
[GROANS.]
I was so worried.
I thought we lost you.
Come here.
Thanks for never giving up.
Did you mean what you said? Did you mean it? You heard that? I heard it all.
Yeah, babe.
Yeah, I meant it.
You had to wait 'til I was almost dead before you told me, is that it? Maybe.
Aw, you're just a frightened little girl, aren't you? [LAUGHS.]
- What's so funny? - You're pathetic.
You're pathetic.
- Billy.
- Yeah.
It's okay.
You reek of it.
You reek of pathetic, you know? I mean, look at you.
You're hanging on by a thread.
Aren't you? I could never love someone like that.
Why are you doing this? How do you live with yourself knowing you're responsible for all this? Every death in this place has got your name on it.
Every death.
Every death.
Every death.
You're not Billy.
What? You're not Billy.
I don't know I don't know who you are but whoever's doing this I know you're not real.
You never could take a joke.
Go to hell, Ryan.
Oh, I'm already in hell.
And I saved you a seat.
There.
That's where I buried her.
There's something else about that day that I haven't told you.
[GASPING.]
How long did she last? Minutes.
Nothing I could do to help her.
You don't know that.
I offered her absolution, she refused.
Who are you to offer absolution? That's what she said to me.
You killed her.
You know that.
That's right.
And I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, you don't get to ask for forgiveness.
Even after I dedicated my life to God, I struggled.
I thought that I had failed him.
But then I realized that he brang me to you.
That your power, that your ability, is of divine nature and you are the hand of God, son.
I have a gun.
Now I have a gun.
Yeah.
Do it.
Be my judgment.
[COCKS GUN.]
Mom? [CHOKING.]
Die.
Die.
Please stop Hey, asshole.
You think you're dead now? Come here! Landis, baby.
Shit.
Shit, are you okay? Are you okay? Baby? I'm coming.
I'm coming.
I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Damn you're a sexy fuck.
[GASPS.]
Billy? Billy? Hi.
Hey.
It's me.
Hi.
What happened? You were electrocuted.
At the dam.
You you were in a coma.
I think I went to the other side.
What was it like? [WHISPERING.]
Roman? She says that she's ready to forgive you.
And she's ready to let go.
Thank you, Nadine.
Thank you.
No, I'm not.
If you are looking for absolution you can find it yourself.
