-His name is Jude.
-You're a Rymanite.
I shouldn't talk to you.
-You shouldn't be so close to the edge.
I just don't want anything to happen to you.
Come on up.
I wanted us to be able to see the stars.
-Did you know Jude's last name?
-Leland.
Why do you need to know that?
Are you gonna tell the police?
-Minnow wanted you to have this.
**
-I saw you looking at me in the shower.

-* I thought love *
* Was only true *
* In fairy tales *
* Meant for someone else *
* But not for me *
Oh, it's not right.
-* Love was out to get me *
-No, I, um, I just -- I never heard you sing before.
Don't stop.
-* That's the way it seems *
* Disappointment haunted all my dreams *
-* Then I saw her face *
* And I'm a believer *
[ Laughter ]
* Not a trace *
* Of doubt in my mind *
* I'm in love *
* I'm a believer *
* I couldn't leave her *
* If I tried *

-What are you doing to Angel?
-Oh, honey, no one's hurting her, if that's what you mean.
Angel's in a quiet room, where she can think
about what she did.
-She was just protecting me.
She's my friend.
-Well, you don't know everything about your friend.
-Yeah, I know she's the best person in this place.
-Angel punched a girl so hard, she needed stitches.
Angel's also a convicted murderer.
-It was self-defense.
-Minnow, people don't get put in here for self-defense.
-Angel took a shotgun, waited behind a door
for six hours, until her uncle got home,
and then she shot him in the back.
I think you need to talk to our in-house counselors here.
-I already talked to someone.
-Dr. Wilson isn't a counselor.
He works for the FBI.
What do you two talk about?
-My family.
What happened to me.
[ Wings fluttering ] -And is that your choice,
to talk about these things?
-[insistently] Yes.
I like talking to him.
-Minnow, you've been very sheltered
and I worry about you trusting the wrong people.
Again.
[ Laughter, indistinct conversations ]
He think's it's the sun.
That's why he keeps flying into it.

-Is this your mom?
-I barely remember her.
**
-I'm sorry.
-No.
She's not dead or anything.
At least, I don't think.
She left when I was two.
-Why?
-Guess she was just more into saving the planet being a mom.
**
My dad and I are cool, though.
-Have you told your dad about me?
**
-No.
**
-You don't think he'd like me?
**
-He -- He would definitely like you.
I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
**
You know how to dance?
-I can't.
-Sure, you can. You got two feet.
-No, I -- I know I can, but I can't.
The Prophet says dancing leads to AIDS.
-[Scoff]
And you believe that stuff?
-I don't know.
-Well, I think he's just trying to stop you from having any fun.
[ Boards creaking ]
This is a simple one.
You just -- We move back and forth together.
[ Tranquil chorale plays ]
-Like this?
[ Eerie music joins ]
**
[gasp] This --
This is -- This is wrong.
-'Cause you think I'm a Rymanite,
or whatever it's called?
I have a soul, Minnow.
All that stuff that your prophet said, it-it's not true.
-He talks to God!
He performs miracles! -Oh, yeah, like what?
-He cured himself!
He used to have a disease in his lungs
and, now, he doesn't need medicine anymore!
He can breathe again!
He breathes life into all of us.
He chose us! -He is aracistand a liar!
He's just making stuff up to control you
so that y-you stay dumb
and you don't think for yourself.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
I didn't mean thatyouwere dumb.
-No.
Just everything I believe in.
-Minnow, wait. Wait! I --
Minnow!
**
-Yo!
-You say "yo" now?
-Trying it out.
-This is Jude and his father.
-Where did you getthat?
-The FBI.
Jude's dad burned down a chemical plant in Billings.
-Jude told me he was an outlaw.
-Yeah, but, uh, more specifically, an arsonist.
-So? -So, your Community burned down
and I wonder if these two facts are connected.
-Jude didn't haveanything to do with this.
-I didn't say he did. -What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting weird?
-Well, I'm just trying to get through my questions.
-I thought you weren't a cop.
-I'm not, but that doesn't mean I can ignore evidence.
Minnow, who set fire to the Community?
[ Clock ticking ]
**
-You didn't say anything about the valentine card I made.
**
Did you get it?
-[Sigh]
**
I did.
It was nice.
**
But I'm not sure it was appropriate.
-Appropriate?
-I think it's the sort of thing you oughta do for a friend.
**
-I thought youweremy friend.
-Sorry.

-You just missed youth group meeting.
It was fun today, too.
We got to draw affirmations on each other with marker.
Tracey let me write hers.
Yo, Trace!
Hold your hand up.
[chuckle] Yeah, you are. [laughs]
So, what's up?
-You like juice?
You know, the kind in the cafeteria
doesn't taste like apples, but it's good.
-You trying to make a trade?
What I gotta do for this juice?
That look okay?
What was I saying?
-You went to the mall.
-[slurp] Right.
So we're at the mall and she's like,
"I'll be back in 20 minutes."
So I'm like, "Okay, I'll just go get me some smoothie --"
-You need to mind your business, bitch! -Hey! Knock it off.
-There I am, in the food court,
slurpin' on my Choc-A-Laka,
and she sits right in front of me with this ugly-ass bag
made of alligator feet or whatever,
and goes "Happy birthday, baby."
[scoffing] What am I supposed to do?
I mean, she's lookin' at me
with these sexy-as-hell brown eyes, but,
I donotwant this animal carcass on my arm!
So I just smile and say thank you.
Not even five minutes later,
we're walkin' out the mall and two cops tackleme.
-For what?
-For stealing a $12,000 bag.
Turns out my girlfriend shoplifted it.
-So why didn't you just tell them she stole it?
-Girl, you don't think that didn't occur to me?
I mean, I know it was stupid, but,
I loved her
and, when you love somebody, you carry their shit,
no matter what.
**
[ Springs creaking ]
**
I hope she doesn't hate it.
She hates everything I like, just to mess with me.
-That's just 'cause she likes you.
-[scoff] Angel does not like me.
Does she?
**
-Angel made me see the stars differently.
Jude made me question everything.
**
-There's bugs living on our skin.
There's diseases growing under our fingernails.
Our brains are nothing but garbage factories,
churning out filth.
You can feel the unclean thoughts
coiling around in your head, like snakes, can't you?
But wecanbe cleansed. -[whispering] Thank you.
-We can make ourselves fresh as newborn babies,
inside and out, with Charlie's love.
Doesn't that feel good, to be free of that shame?
-Praise Charlie. -Man: Yes.
-Thank you, Charlie.
-Bless Charlie.
[ Birds chirping ]
-The outside world will burn soon.
The unclean will come pounding on our door,
but we can't let them in.
We have to be stronger than ever in our faith.
-Yes. -[breathlessly] Yes.
-We have to hold each other accountable.
Just one of your trespasses can destroy us all.
-Can a Rymanite ever be saved?
-No, Minnow.
Unfortunately there's no soul theretobe saved.
-But how can you be sure that a Rymanite has no soul?
I mean, what if --
What if you're wrong? -Minnow, no!
-Woman: [gasp] No! -Ahem.
-Shh! -Thinking.
[ Ominous music plays ]
-Ahem.
**
-[Whispering]
**
Ahem.
[ Grunt, sigh ]
[ Suspenseful music plays ] Hm.

and you just know.

[ Coughing ]
-Man: Is he all right?
-[Whispering]
-Oh.
-[Wheezing]
-Uh, ahem.
Uh, we thank you, Charlie, for being with us.
Ahem! Uh, as the keeper of this Community,
I want everyone to feel safe and, as the Prophet just said,
we all have to be accountable to each other.
The Prophet looks out for us.
**
Yes, Charlie.

No! Wait!
Jude!

[ Suspenseful music intensifies, chords strike ]

[ Shutter clicks ]
-Yeah, pretty muddy.
-Go check the back.
**
-Get an impression of this.
-Guy's head was mostly blown off.
Been down there a couple years, at least.
Think the kid did it?
-I don't know.
-Well, you seem to have a gift
for bringing out the best in people.
**
-Excuse me?
-People you just met keep trying to kill you.
Just sayin'.
**
Spell his name again.
-It's Jude...Leland.
[ Rain pattering ]
I saw Jude.
Saw the gravesite, too, right before he shot at me.
I had no choice. I had to tell the police everything.
-The police don't know anything.
Youdon't know anything.
-Then tell me.
They found a dead body.
Jude shot at me.
You were right: The police are looking
for a fall guy for the fire andfor the Prophet's death
and, right now, they're out there, looking for Jude.
**
Minnow, I can't help you,
or Jude, unless you tell me the truth.
**
-[Crying]
**
Jude is not a killer.
**
[ Ethereal vocals plays ]
**
-I didn't think you'd come back.
-You said the Prophet was a liar.
[ Insects chirping ] **
But you lied to me, too.
I went to your house.
Your dad wasn't there.
I found a grave.
It's him, isn't it, your dad?
-I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
After my dad got in trouble, we came out here,
just the two of us.
He taught me how to hunt and fish, play guitar.
We -- We -- We had everything that we needed.
A couple years ago, he got sick.
Just tired at first, and then, he started spitting up blood.
And he said he was fine.
And the moonshine
would dull the pain,
but, pretty soon, that's all he was drinking.
[crying] That's when
he said I was a grown man now...
...and I had to do a man's job.
He made me get his gun.
And I didn't want to.
I... [shuddering]
I had to load the bullets for him,
keep his hand steady, 'cause he was shaking so hard.

-[Crying]
If something happens to Jude,
it will be my fault,
just like it's my fault Angel's in trouble.
The Prophet said I was evil.
He said everything I touch will be destroyed.
He may be wrong about everything else.
But he was right about me.
Everything, everything that's happened, is my fault.
The fire, the dead bodies, all of it.
If the cops are looking for someone to blame,
tell them it was me.
Tell them it was all me.

[ Crickets chirping ]

The Prophet said that the stars are God's eyes.
[ Creature croaking ] **
Do you think that's true?
**
They're watching us.
**
-My dad said
we're all made up of the same stuff as stars...
**
...and, when we die,
we turn back into the night
and light up the whole Earth.
**
-So, the stars aren't God.
**
They're us.
**
I like that better.

-Next, on "Sacred Lies"...
-Maybe I'll never find a reason.
-Wait, reason for what?
-Why this happened to me.
-There is no reason, bro!
There's no answer that's just gonna make the pain go away.
-What are you doing now?
-Uh...Uh.
**
-Have you been with a Rymanite?
-You...lie!
-The disease will spread,
unless we stop the infection!
