Okay.
-Relax. The loan was approved. -Oh!
We're just waiting to hear back from the owner
so we can move forward on some things.
But the process towards closing should move really fast.
Sherry?
Um, excuse me a moment.
-I'll be right back. -Thank you.
Mm...
See, I told you, you were worried about nothing.
Oh, whatever, you were, too.
I ain't gon' lie, they-- they had me sweating a little bit.
-What? -Nothing.
-Hello. -Hey, any update?
Yeah, we got the loan now, yeah.
Told you guys, told you.
But hey, y'all give me a call before y'all leave
and we probably can go celebrate over lunch or something.
All right. All right, I got you. All right, bye.
Uh...
I-- is everything okay?
The owners decided to go with someone else.
What?
Wha-- what do you mean they're going with someone else?
Someone offered the owner above his asking price,
-covering closing-- -No, no, no.
Tell the owner that we'll cover the closing costs.
We'll take care of that, that's not a problem.
These new buyers are ready to move now.
-You don't have the finances. -No, no, no, no, I-- I-- I do.
I mean, I've got the money saved up.
Look, I-- I was a fraud victim, okay?
So, I don't-- I don't like keeping my money in the bank,
but I got access to 10,000 right now,
I can go home and get it.
It's not a problem, I've got the money.
Please.
Thank you for everything.
Look, she-- look, she really wanted this house.
Please.
Damn it.
Hey.
Um...
how about-- how-- how about we go out tonight?
You know, Chinese and, you know, maybe-- maybe catch a movie.
I don't know, baby.
Look, I'm sorry, I'm just not in the mood.
I just wanna lay down.
Okay.
Babe, you all right?
Jessica.
Jess!
Jessica!
Look, look, look, look, look,
look, take whatever you want, all right?
Take whatever you want, but just...
don't hurt her.
Don't hurt her.
Look, this-- look, this is fucking bullshit, man,
let's-- let's just get out of here, all right?
Let's just leave.
Where's the cash?
Hey, man, I don't know what cash you talking about, man,
I don't-- I don't have any cash and--
- Where is the cash? - No!
Holy shit!
No!
No! The fuck are you doing?
She saw your fucking face, man.
Look, look at her fucking face, man,
she's fucking out of here like we need to be right now.
Look, they ain't got what we came here for, let's go.
No, that's enough. That's enough, man.
I ain't going down for this shit.
C-- come on.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, shit.
I'mma just go back to the repass.
I know folks is probably wondering what's going on.
Mm. Taste this.
-Can I get in the door first? -Just taste it.
Funny.
-What's this? -You like it?
-Yeah. It's not bad, not bad. -Mm-hmm.
What's that?
You believe in, um...
voodoo and psychics and all that shit?
Wait, huh?
Look, I was just at the gas station, right?
I'm pumping gas and this random woman just walked up to me.
And her exact words...
"You and your partner deserve a child
and you've yet to conceive."
I know, right?
And she dug in her purse,
she pulls out this piece of paper.
She wrote this address on it.
And then looked at me and said, "I may be able to help."
And just walked off.
It's the weirdest shit ever.
Okay, well, you can throw that in the trash.
We don't need no demon baby.
All right, babe, well, I'm-- I'm gonna go get in the shower,
-it's been a long one. -Good.
You wanna join me?
Who are you?
You gave my husband your information some time ago.
You said you could help us.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
You have an aura of deep sorrow surrounding you.
You're a widow.
Sorry, I'm-- I'm leaving.
I know exactly who you are referring to.
At first I could not see it.
But now I know exactly who you are.
How can I help you?
Appreciate it.
Josh.
How can I help you, detectives?
You know, you've, uh, been on my mind
for the last couple days.
That so?
Yeah, I was-- I was thinking,
you haven't popped up on my radar in over two years.
-So sorry to disappoint you. -No.
No. If anything, I was proud.
Thinking maybe you finally grew up,
got your life in order.
Just when I get a sliver of hope,
bam, like clockwork,
I get this sobering reminder.
Some people never change.
We had a home invasion a couple weeks back.
Man shot and killed in his own home.
And I'll admit, you know,
I haven't been going to the eye doctor
that regularly.
But...
I am pretty sure
that looks a lot like you
two doors down from the crime scene.
Look, I know you like seeing me in handcuffs.
I ain't the only white guy that lives in this town.
True.
But I could pick you out in a crowded arena.
Don't you worry, it's just circumstantial.
Don't quite have enough yet.
But you know me, Josh.
You know I'll get what I need in due time.
Turn yourself in. Confess.
Identify the others.
I'll get the DA to cut you a deal.
But you listen to me and you listen good.
You make this hard,
I'll personally make sure you get the max.
All right. Good talk.
Something to think about.
You have a good rest of your day now.
What now?
Did you find any effects that were not disturbed?
Hair follicles. Good.
I cannot guarantee this will work.
This will be my first attempt.
Many things must happen
for a soul touched by death to return.
He may choose to deny it.
If he does return, there's no certainty
that he will be as you knew him before.
Go home. Rest.
You must be asleep
when I perform the ritual at midnight.
Yo.
Man, you gon' turn into
a sausage egg biscuit over here, man.
Man, that's why I can't wait for that damn payday.
- Yeah. - Get this damn AC fixed.
Man, you better.
Ain't seen you in a while, dude.
Yeah. I just can't shake it, bro.
Yeah.
Fucked up about it, too, but to be honest with you,
best thing we could do is move on.
And I can't imagine what it's like in your shoes, either.
Nick's stupid ass done moved to Bama.
He's staying with his sister now.
You know for a fact he ain't coming back.
Nope.
Look, uh, just got my break, bro,
I'm finna head on back in here.
-I'll holler at you later. -All right, man, be cool.
Nah. You be cool.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Cole, did we wake you?
Um, yeah. Come on in.
- Hi. - Hi.
-Please have a seat. -Okay, thank you.
Can I get you anything?
Oh, no, no, we're fine. Thank you, Mrs. Cole.
This is Detective Brown.
He's going to be assisting me on the case.
Hello.
Okay.
How have you been?
Just taking it one day at a time.
Yeah, I'm sorry. You, uh-- you hurt your hand?
A... clumsy accident.
Uh, well, the reason we're here is, um...
I'd like you to take a look at this sheet....
and see if any one of these men jogs a memory for you,
if-- if anything about any of them
stands out to you, is-- is familiar to you.
I wish I did.
I'm-- Honestly, everything is still a blur.
It's fine, it's okay.
We have some soft leads.
And there's no smoking gun yet.
But I am confident
that we will find the people who did this.
Now, try and get some rest, you look drained.
Understandably so.
We'll be in touch.
Oh, um, I'm sure you have Detective Casey's information.
But just for some reason
if you can't get in touch with her,
give me a call.
Anytime, okay?
-Thank you. -All right.
-Hello. -Hey.
I'm just checking on you, I ain't heard from you today.
I'm okay.
I haven't been feeling the best today.
I actually slept most of it.
Oh, okay.
Well, you'll-- you wanna grab lunch tomorrow?
Yeah, that sounds good.
I thought about going into work tomorrow,
but I'll just try it next week.
Well, I'll stop by around 11:00
and we'll just make a day out of it.
Sure.
All right, good night. I love you.
I love you, too.
All right, bye.
Jess.
Jessica.
Joseph?
I need you to get up.
Oh, my God.
Get up!
Oh! Please just let me go, please!
I'm sorry. I can't.
Was my life not enough to appease your greed,
that you return for my bride?
For your sins...
you and everyone you love will suffer.
Time to atone.
No! Leave me alone!
No. No, no, uh-uh, this--
No, no, no, no, no, no this isn't right.
No, no, no, th-- this isn't real.
-Mm-mm. No. This is not real. -Jessi--
No! Stay away from me.
Oh, God.
I frighten you.
You are ashamed of me.
You have taken everything from me.
Now bear witness
as I take everything from you.
Hey, Jess. What's up?
Candace, I messed up.
-Huh? -Hold on.
Candace, can you just come here, like, right now, please.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm on my way.
Hey, I'm on the way in.
Josh's mother arrived a little late
and I had to run and grab Allison some food.
Can I call you back?
Okay.
Allison? Miss Jackie?
- Can I help you? - Hey. Are-- are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Well, a-- a suspect in your case,
his car was abandoned the street over,
I was just, uh, making sure you were all right.
What, you think he's coming here?
Well, him and his family were slaughtered at their house,
so no, I don't think he's coming over here.
I'm just trying to make sense of it all.
I was just hoping I didn't come here to another scene.
-I'm sorry to bother you. -No, you're fine.
All right.
We're all clear.
Like I said, Joseph is back.
Okay, look, he popped through my door, okay?
That's how he got in.
I woke up, I heard him walking in
and I ran to the shower and hid, and that's where he found me.
And then he put a gun in my face.
And then that's when Joseph appeared, okay?
And he killed him in my bathroom.
All right, Joe-- Joseph sounds different.
And he looks like a zombie, too, okay?
But it looks like him, Candace,
and he's wearing exactly what we buried him in.
Jess, this is too much.
My head is fucking throbbing right now.
I went and saw a voodoo lady.
What?
'Kay, look, I just was missing Joe.
I went to her and saw her for her to bring him back.
Okay, but I didn't think it would work.
I just wanted to see my husband.
And then this happened.
Okay, it was a stupid idea, I wish I'd never did it,
but it worked and this happened.
Sis, you gotta listen to me, Joseph is back.
Okay, and he's not the same Joseph that left me.
If that man really had something to do with it,
Joseph is not done.
He's out for blood.
-Mommy. -What, Caitlin?
Can we have pancakes for breakfast?
Sure, baby, I'll be up in a minute.
Okay.
Nick. Nick!
Yeah?
Caitlin wants pancakes for breakfast,
and we don't have any eggs or mix.
You mind running to the store?
Yeah, I'll go.
If you're gonna continue to stay here,
I'mma need you to get a job or something
because a little help around here would be appreciated.
Can I at least get my shit together
and brush my teeth before you start bitching at me?
Yeah, what's up, dude?
Yeah, not-- nothing, just chilling.
Hey, uh, can you take me the store?
I gotta get some shit.
Yeah, I'm good now if you're-- if you're good, yeah.
All right, man, appreciate it. Cool.
No, only my mommy and uncle live here.
My uncle came here a couple of days ago.
He's nice to me.
I love pancakes, especially with syrup.
My mommy told me that she would make pancakes
for breakfast, so I'm just waiting on her.
Can I help you?
Mommy, this is my friend.
Excuse me?
Who are you and how did you get in my house?
Man, I owe you one. Thanks for taking me, bro.
Oh, bro, it ain't nothing, man.
Appreciate you, man.
God, I gotta get back in here.
-Hey, bro. -Hey. What's up?
Hey, Nick, you mind if I--
you mind if I roll up here 'cause,
you know, my homegirl ain't left yet.
You know, I kinda told her I quit.
-Is that cool? -Yeah, man. Yeah, be good.
Don't let her catch you.
Bro, she ain't gon' catch shit about this.
- You know what I mean? - Come on, man.
But I appreciate it. Hey, brother.
-Yeah. Good seeing you, man. -Good seeing you, pimp.
Yo, Ash, do you want me to leave this out,
or put it in the fridge?
Ashley, you want me
to leave this out or put it in the fridge?
Ashley.
Fuck, man.
Yo, Ashley.
Ashley, you really want me to go in here?
Are you sleeping for real? Ashley!
Do you know who I am?
This can't be fucking real.
No way! No way!
God.
Please don't hurt me...
This man, bro.
Motherfuckers, man. I swear.
It's like I'm...
I can't do shit.
Please don't hurt me.
-Hey, Nick. -Help!
Help, DJ, help me!
Help! DJ, help!
Nick! Hey, Nick.
What's going on? You left your phone in the car.
What's up? Fuck you trippin' about?
Come on, let's go. What are you doing? You hurt?
He was just right there.
What are you talking about, bro?
Fucking--
You smoked that blunt? You be tripping.
Come on, let's go.
What are you--
No.
What are you talking about?
He's right there.
Please...
I-- I swear, man. It wasn't me.
I didn't want to be in that house.
It was Josh. It was all Josh.
He wanted to do it. It wasn't me, man.
-I swear. -Oh, I remember.
You stood by and watched.
No.
He was gonna kill me, too, man.
What'd you want me to do? He was gonna kill me.
Doing nothing does not absolve you.
If he had harmed my wife,
you would have done nothing just the same.
You are a weakling.
Since you act as if you have no backbone...
No.
- then I'll just take yours. - No, no.
No.
-Candace. -Darious, what are you--
Girl, I thought that was you.
Hey, how you been?
Hey, you gonna have to meet me halfway.
I don't go near that house.
-Why? You know her? -Do I know her?
-Yeah. -You do know
- that's Sheba house, right? - Oh, my God,
- Yes. - I thought she was dead.
I heard the same shit back in the day.
She live right here.
You know where we could find her at, D?
One of our friend's supposedly came over here.
-And we looking for her. -I mean, I heard that she'd be
reading tarot cards out in the park,
but, I mean, other than that, I don't know shit,
-and I don't want to know. -Are you serious?
I'm just hoping she ain't talked your friend
into a goddamned bet or something.
What's up? What's up, man?
You hear about Josh?
Man, who hasn't?
That's what you call me out here for?
L-- look, before you say anything...
-look, listen to this shit. -What?
You have one new message.
Just-- just listen to it, man.
Yes. This message
is for a Marcus Pew.
This is Officer James with Daphne Police Department
in Daphne, Alabama. I'm trying to reach you
in reference to Nick, a acquaintance of yours.
-If you would give me a call. -Call him back.
Nick is dead, bro.
Nick and his fucking sister were slaughtered
last night at their house.
Just like Josh and his girl. But get this.
Josh's daughter was in the other room sleeping
when the shit went down, and the police showed up.
Nick's niece wasn't sleeping in the other room,
she was damn near in a fucking coma.
They had to take her to the hospital to wake her ass up.
So what you saying, bro?
You-- you think this is all bullshit?
You think it's-- you think
it's a fucking coincidence or some shit?
I talked to Nick the other day.
He said he'd been having nightmares about that dude.
I've been having nightmares, too.
What about you?
Nah, I ain't got no nightmares.
Look, I don't know what the fuck going on.
And I don't believe in superstitions.
I don't believe in magic. None of that.
But whatever the hell is going on,
I feel like we've been marked for death.
We've been marked for death, we've been cursed and whatever
the hell it is that came after Nick and Josh,
it's coming after us.
That's why if I was you, I would get my shit
and I would get the fuck up out of here.
Just like I'm finna do with me and mine.
All right, man. All right.
Look, just hit me up, all right?
-I'mma call you. -Call me.
All right, I'll call you.
What the fuck...
I cannot believe I spent all my childhood
dodging this lady just to look for her.
Well, I can go by myself. You don't have to do--
No, no, no, no. Hell no. I'm going with you.
I know her. This lady is not a good person.
She will mess with your head if you let her.
Yeah, well, Candace, I just need for you
to trust me, okay?
Okay, I'mma trust you.
Let's go see what's up with this lady.
Yes?
Look, I-- I need you to undo whatever it is that you've done.
What is there to undo?
Okay, he's come back.
But he's killing people.
I need you to stop it and make him go away.
What do you mean, killing people?
I made a mistake.
Okay? I was going through some things,
and I made a mistake.
But I really need you to fix this.
If he has returned, nothing I do can change that.
I summoned him with the ritual.
He came on his own will. He'd have to leave the same way.
Okay, wait, so why does she need you?
He could've just came on his own, then.
Please.
Okay, please, ma'am, I really need your help.
The ritual itself is not enough.
For a soul touched by death to return,
first it must be summoned.
And then it must be grounded by the blood of a living soul.
I summoned him for you...
But it is you who grounded him.
Okay, well, is there a way to make him
go away even if he doesn't want to go?
Yes, there is.
You must get rid of what grounded him.
What's going on?
Mia, what the fuck is going on?
He has our baby.
Who?
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, you're--
You're supposed to be dead.
Get behind me.
You're supposed to be dead, man.
Nick.
Josh. It was--
It was you, you--
How the fu...
How the fuck are you still alive?
I have no more blood left to spill.
But you do.
Because of you,
my wife's life was spared from your accomplice.
And for that...
I will spare your family.
But for your sins,
the time has come to atone.
You-- you promised you'd give me back my baby.
You promised.
Baby! My baby!
Mommy's here.
Oh, my baby.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry...
Oh, baby.
Mommy's right here.
Oh, baby...
Thank you for doing my hair, sis.
I appreciate it.
Well, you're welcome.
And thanks for going with me to find Sheba.
I don't know what I was thinking.
You probably think I'm crazy, huh?
No. I don't think you're crazy.
I just wish you would talk to me
before you do crazy shit like this.
We used to be so close.
We talked about everything.
But these last couple years?
I barely even know who you are anymore.
-You expecting somebody? -No.
- Hey. - Hey.
I'm sorry. Um...
can we talk somewhere private?
-Please have a seat. -Thank you.
-Uh, can I get you anything? -Oh, no, thank you. I'm fine.
Uh, listen, Jessica, I need to be honest with you.
Okay.
Do you have any involvement in this case in any way?
What, no.
Do you know the people who did this,
and you're just not telling me?
Look, I have told you everything I know.
Okay.
Do you know of anybody who is, uh,
trying to investigate this case themselves?
No. What's going on?
Honestly, I don't know.
But I do know that me and Detective Casey
have worked extremely hard on this case.
To the point we have four suspects identified.
But every time we try to, uh, interrogate them,
someone doesn't let that happen.
Do you believe in the supernatural?
Evil.
I see evil every day.
But if you're talking about demons and ghosts,
I can't say I do.
Yeah.
Jessica, I need to find Brandon.
Wait, Brandon?
What, he had something to do with this?
Well, I haven't seen or talked to Brandon, okay?
He didn't even come to the funeral.
Which explains a lot.
I'm not gonna lie.
But I'm also out of options.
Now, I need to get to Brandon
before whoever got to these gets to him.
I'm not sure of his involvement in this case.
But I can say for certain,
I know he wasn't one of the men in the house.
So, um...
if he turns himself in, I can keep him safe.
Can you get the word to him?
Okay.
Is there anything else I can do to help, Detective?
No. Be all.
- Okay. - All right, then.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Where's Brandon?
At my house. Why?
Well, he just told me that all of the men are dead,
and that Brendon is a suspect.
Okay? If it's true, if Brandon really was involved,
then where do you think Joseph is headed?
...and that's what Joseph did.
Hey, man, what was I supposed to do?
'Sup, 'sup, 'sup?
I thought you was leaving. No, I'm all drunk, and tripping.
Keisha decided to take him home.
And Keisha couldn't take you afterward?
Damn, you act like you want me gone
-or something. -Bro, man, you straight, man.
Ain't that right, babe?
Wait a minute, I'm about to put up the rest of this food.
If you want something to eat, you better fix it yourself.
Thank you, girl.
Can you give my half for the food?
I promise I'll get you back, I promise.
H-- hey...
Don't worry about it, I got that.
Are you sure?
Just don't tell Jess.
Hey, it's all right, it's all right.
You ain't gotta do that, man, I ain't trying to get
that woman nothing else to fuss about.
Anyway, you people are here, I'll help my sister.
How she gon' fuss about what she don't know?
I got it.
Now, look, Jess put a lot of money on that lawyer just
to find out that you weren't keeping it real with her.
But she'll get over it.
Look, bro.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Okay? Look, I know there's nothing flashy
about walking the straight and narrow, but...
at least you're free.
Yeah, I see it.
You right about that.
-Just give me a sec, just... -Yeah.
This is Joseph.
Oh, yes, yes, um--
Uh, my-- my Macbook's in the car.
Give me-- give me one second. Be right back.
-I'll be right back. -All right.
Time to atone.
Brandon.
What's going on?
Time to atone.
Joseph!
She's all that I have left. I can't let you take her.
If you come near me, or you hurt her, I'll do it.
They took everything from us.
With their greed.
You've sacrificed for them...
and they repaid you with betrayal.
And you're willing to forgive them?
Yes, Joseph, yes.
Okay? I-- I made a mistake.
This isn't you.
Stop this, and go back to wherever you came from.
Okay? If you really love me...
If you truly love me and all this is for me, then go.
Be at peace.
Is that truly what you want?
Yes.
Oh, God.
-Hey. -Hey, sweetheart.
Anytime somebody is reported missing...
How was your day?
Exactly how I expected.
No jury is ever gonna believe
that that girl slaughtered those people.
DA won't touch it.
Chief is making me hold a press conference
to announce that we're increasing the awards for tips.
We're just saving face at this point.
Well, I mean, you could always get a warrant
to exhume the husband.
Check to see if he's still in there.
You're amazing at a lot of things.
Comedy's not one of 'em.
I actually showed a picture of him to the girl we arrested.
Seriously?
She identified him.
Trust me.
I get that this "My dead husband did a thing" is nuts.
I get it, but...
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel weird about it.
Just-- I can't explain it.
Well, I mean, photographs of dead husbands,
just worry about that.
Touché.
What's going on?
Look I hadn't--
My childhood was a lot different than yours,
so I'm not gonna pretend to know exactly how you feel.
Okay, I'm just tired.
Look, we've been married
less than six hours.
Let's not start lying to each other now.
You're right. I'm sorry.
I'm just a little bit disappointed,
but I'll be okay.
I'm saying, like, you-- you knew Brandon
wasn't gonna come as soon as you invited him.
And Candace is-- it's like all she can do is just be
jealous anytime you accomplish something that she hasn't.
Don't let their issues ruin our happiness.
Okay?
Get out.
Huh?
Get out.
Look, I wasn't really feeling, um, our dance earlier.
So, I wanna redo.
- Out here? - Yeah.
Is...
You know...
I want you to know
that from this point moving forward...
you don't have to face anything alone.
I don't want you to worry about or fear anything.
My priority
is to protect you from anything
that tries to harm you.
'Til death do us part.
Well, death ain't even that strong.
-Hey, can I help you? -Hi, I'm here to see Candace.
Okay, just sign in on the table for me,
and I'll go get her.
Candace, your sister's here.
-Hey. -Hey.
Candace, I'll be in my office, just let me know
when y'all are finished and I'll buzz her out.
- Okay. - Were you asleep?
Nah, just chilling in my room.
Oh. Oh, here.
Oh, thank you.
-It's probably cold. -At this point, I don't care.
So how are you doing?
Mm, I'm doing better, you know.
I've been seeing a new doctor and I actually like
this one better than I liked the last one.
So how long you think you gotta stay in here?
They say a few more weeks, but I've heard that before.
But how you doing?
I'm okay.
I don't see how.
But you, you always were the strong one.
Can I ask you something?
When Joseph said...
that you helped Brandon...
Jessica,
I was in a really bad place at that time in my life.
Brandon didn't know those men had those guns on them.
Joe was supposed to tell me
before you guys were home that day.
That whole thing just went left.
Joseph loved me.
Like, really loved me.
I didn't know how much I needed that until I met him.
I mean, our mom, God rest her soul,
she didn't know what it was.
Dad beat her more than he beat us.
I-- I guess-- I don't understand.
How we go through so much together and grow up divided?
But...
I forgive you, Candace.
It's no sense in holding all this anger and pain.
I gotta free myself.
But I can't stay here long today.
I just came by.
I'll see you in two weeks.
She's ready.
Bye, Candace.
Bye, Jessica.
Hello?
Time to atone.
