-Previously on "Sacred Lies"...
-Here's his son. He died.
-Tell me about Philip Lancaster. Why'd you attack him?
-[ Grunts ] I was trying to kill God.
-Your disposition order was for five years,
the first of which you will spend here in juvenile detention
with possibility of parole on your 18th birthday.
-Somebody has to believe in them,
or else they don't stand a chance.
-So, what brings you to Portland, Dr. Wilson?
-I need your help.
-What is your relationship to this girl?
-I'm her friend. -Did you kill Kevin Groth?
[ Screaming ]
-Charlie's coming!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
**
-More water!
**
-What about this one?
-Why does she need to look like a librarian?
-No. No blue. Do I have to wear a dress?
Or any of this? I'm not getting out anyway.
-Don't think like that. -But it's true, isn't it?
-Dressing like this helps the parole board
see you as a teenage girl. It's a subconscious thing.
You go in there in your uniform, that's all they see.
-Dude, why are you getting her hopes up?
It's such a long shot for a violent offender
to get parole. It never happens.
-Angel, that is not true.
-Don't get dressed up and grovel for these morons.
You go in there, you tell them all to go to hell.
-Angel! Okay.
Obviously, don't do that.
Focus on all the progress you've made since you've been here.
All you have to do is let them see who you really are.
**
[ Beep, lock disengages ]
-It's nicer walking you out this way.
That's for sure.
**
[ Beep, lock disengages ]
**
Don't be nervous. Keep your head up.
**
-Hey. Sorry. I should have knocked.
-Hi. No, it -- No, it's okay.
I was somewhere else for a moment.
-We said 2:00 p.m., right? -Yes. I lost track of time.
Ah.
You look great.
-Thanks. Back at the firm full-time.
You look good, too.
Better.
Here are the keys.
And, uh, everything else is packed up and ready to go.
**
-Okay. -Okay.
**
I should get going. Take care, Alan
-You too.
**
-That girl in Montana?
-Minnow.
-She's not our son.
-I know that. -When I said it was your fault,
I was wrong. I didn't mean -- -Carol.
I'm fine.
Trust me. I'm okay.
-[ Quietly ] Okay.

[ Keyboard keys clacking ]

-Green smoke.
**
-I take it you've seen my bride-to-be.
Isn't she beautiful?
-You're disgusting. Constance is a child.
-She's a true believer.
Cutting your own hands off.
Now, that's romantic.
-I see you.
I figured you out.
-Really?
-You're a liar! You used powder to make smoke green.
You never cured yourself. It's all lies!
And I'm going to prove it to them!
I'm gonna show them all who you really are!
-Go ahead. Shout it from the treetops.
Do you think they're going to believe a Rymanite's whore
over Charlie's chosen prophet?
They need to be shown.
**
They need to see it to make Charlie real.
I need to save them.
So I make it real.
But I promise you this.
[ Coughs ]
Charlie is as real as you or me.
[ Coughs ]
He's swam in the ocean. He's fallen in love.
He's been shot and stabbed and bombed and buried.
He's died and been reborn a million times.
You can run from this place, but you can't run from Charlie.
He knows who you really are.
[ Coughing, wheezing ]
**
He's always watching.
And he will hold you accountable for all of this.
[ Wheezing ]
**
Where is it?
[ Gasping ]
My inhaler.
You have it, don't you? [ Gasping ]
Give it to me. [ Gasping ]
**
Give it to me!
-I can't.
I don't have hands.
-[ Gasps ]
**
[ Flames rush ]

[ Gasping, wheezing ]

-Minnow Bly, you were charged with aggravated assault,
sentenced to five years.
We do have the victim, Philip Lancaster,
with us here today.
Mr. Lancaster and his family have declined
to make a statement. Is that right?
All right. Ms. Bly,
would you like to say anything on your own behalf at this time?
Ms. Bly? Ms. Bly?
[ Chair wheels roll ]
-I was raised to believe God was a boy my age named Charlie.
That he was walking around somewhere.
That I would know him by his green eyes.
They taught me that Charlie saw everywhere I went,
everything I did,
and every bad thing that happened
was Charlie's will.
That he was punishing me...
...when my mother died,
when people were tortured, when my hands...
So, when I saw a green-eyed boy that night...
after...
everything that happened, I...
believed that this was the God
that did all of those terrible things.
That's why I did what I did.
But I know that doesn't matter.
It's not an excuse, no matter what I'd been told,
no matter what I believed.
I still made a choice.
**
It was my choice that hurt someone.
A lot.
I did that.
That was me.
Not all of the things that happened to me.
**
No matter what you believe,
it's no excuse for hurting someone.
I know that now.
I know all the things I was told growing up are wrong.
I don't know what I believe in anymore.
But whatever happens next, whenever I get out of here,
I know it's my responsibility.
I get to choose.
And I'm gonna figure it out for myself.
-Thank you, Ms. Bly. [ Clears throat ]
Sheriff Harjo.
The panel is aware that you have interviewed Ms. Bly
concerning an open homicide investigation.
Is that correct?
-Yes, ma'am. That is correct.
But we no longer consider Ms. Bly
a person of interest in that case.
Our ongoing investigation
shouldn't affect her chance at parole.
**
-We have received a letter from the Director of Facilities,
Mrs. New, recommending your release.
Ms. Bly, this panel recognizes your record of good behavior,
as well as your remorse, as expressed here today.
However, the board has an obligation
to uphold public safety.
**
-Forget about those idiots. They never get it right.
Hey. At least we'll go to Billings together.
It won't all be bad.
They got a way bigger library, and the basketball team's --
-[ Shakily ] I got parole.
I'm getting out in three weeks.
On my birthday.
-Of course you are.
Poor, little white girl with no hands.
We're not the same.
You can kill people and get away with it.
-You're right.
They shouldn't have given it to me.
[ Whispers ] I don't deserve it.
**
-Over here!
Toss it over here!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
**
-Jude! Jude!
-I've got her! You've ruined everything!
-Touch me or my sister again,
and I swear to your Charlie I will kill you!
-You brought that boy here. -What did you do to him?
-What didIdo? What didyoudo, Minnow?
[ Flames rush ]
**
-Where is he?
Where is he?!
Is he in there?!
-Constance! -Samuel!
-No, no, no!
-No! -No!
-Constance!
**
-[ Voice breaking ] I killed them.
The Prophet.
And Constance.
I killed them.
-You didn't kill anybody.
-I let the Prophet die.
-Kevin Groth was an asthmatic who died of smoke inhalation.
-Yeah, from a fire that I -- -That you didn't start.
Your sister was deeply troubled
and had experienced a lot of trauma.
-No.
-Nothing you did caused her to take her own life.
-I was supposed to protect her!
I was there when she was born.
I was there when she died.
I w-- I was supposed to keep her safe.
-Which you did until you couldn't do it any longer
because she was her own person.
You are not responsible for the decisions other people make.
It's out of your control.
You can't move on from this looking backwards.
You owe yourself more than that.
Minnow.
You have to save yourself.
-What about you? -What about me?
-You have to save yourself, too.

-Is she really not gonna say goodbye?
-Hey, I'm not her personal assistant.
I don't know what that girl's doing.
-Can I just wait five more minutes?

How? How did you do this?
-Well, I, uh -- I came into some money.
I know this doesn't change what happened, or fix it.
But you don't need to be fixed.
I wanted to help give you a fresh start.

-Thank you.
-All right, girls, wrap it up. Bly!
