The Field Guide to Evil

Kathi, that's enough.

Give it to me.

Hey, look.

She's not with child.

Kathi!

It's a sin.

If you sin, the Trud is summoned.

Come along.

Now pray.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name...

Come.

Come in.

Stop.

Come on!

Do you feel it already?

It's still much too early.

You barred the door?

What's wrong?

What is it, Kathi?

I'm so scared.

Something heavy was crushing me.

Help me.

What have you done?

'Tis your guilt that lures the Trud.

Out with it. What have you done?

You'll bring misfortune on us all.

The goat is on your conscience.

Pray. There's nothing else for it.

Come, now.

No. I don't like her style...

You wear too much jewelry. They must be heavy.

But I'm so strong!

- Excuse me? You're "so strong"? - Yup.

Dear girl, okay, before I joined the program today,

I had heard so much about you.

People are curious about you.

People are asking: Is this girl for real? Or is she just acting?

Yup.

I think you're acting. I mean, this is not the real you.

I dance too, if that's what you're asking.

Do you have siblings?

I do. I have an elder and a younger.

So you are the middle one.

And you are also the problem child at home, I presume?

Uh, I'm the favorite child.

You are? But parents love all their children the same.

My grandmother also loves me the most.

Hello. What's up?

Mmm...

Good. When do you return?

I'm afraid. I told you.

Okay, forget it.

No! No, don't!

Okay, you wait.

Okay. Okay, Mommy is here.

Ah!

No.

No. No.

You shall become wise...

learn all the secrets of men...

and win all wars...

once you consume three hearts...

of the freshly deceased.

I can...

present the emperor with a drum made of her skin.

As soon as the drum resounds in battle,

he shall be unconquered.

Hey, dude.

- Hey. -What are you drawing?

A masterpiece.

Hey, are you gonna buy Mommy a house one day?

I'm gonna buy Mama a truck.

Oh, you know what Mommy needs?

A Cabernet.

We'll be there soon, babe.

You've been saying that.

Okay. Come on, kiddo.

Arnold! Come on, bud.

Can I play outside?

Yeah, bud. Of course.

You wanna go with him?Yeah.

Oh! Oh, nice swing!

Ready?

Now, try and hit this, okay?

Ready?

Hello? This is Macie.

I'll play with you, Arnold.

Who are you?

My name is William.

Why are you hiding?

I'm good at hiding.

Do you wanna play in the woods with me?

My mom will be mad.

Okay, Arnold. Maybe later.

Well, there you are. You wanna go on a hike?

A hike?

Come on, you'll love it. It's an old Navajo trail.

Where's your mom?

Um, I don't know. On the phone?

On the deck.

Oh. We're, uh--

We're going for a hike.I'll be there in a second.

I thought we weren't doing work stuff this weekend.

I just need to do this one thing.

Whatever.

Uh, so, yeah, Mommy's just doing her thing.

You ever seen a grown man do this?

-What do you think she's talking about? -Perfume and stuff.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Okay. Okay, I gotta go. Bye.

Sorry, boys.Ay-yi-yi.

So, what was all that about?

Oh, is this a guilt trip?

Yeah. I guess it is now.

You know, I never said I was gonna close myself off to civilization this week.

You just wanna fight.

Fuck off.

Where's Arnold?

Fuck. Arnold!

Arnold!

Arnold!

Arnold! Where are you? Arnold?

-Arnold! Arnold! -Arnold? Arnold!

Arnold!

-You need help? -Uh, yeah.

Our boy, we lost him. He was right here.

Come on, buddy.Uh, Arnold!

-How old is he? -Uh, six.

-Oh, shit. -Arnold! Come out!

-Arnold! - I'm over here!

Arnold.

I was peeing!

You can't pee out there, son.

Come on back, bud.

Better watch your boy.

You having fun, bud?

I made a new friend today.

A friend?

Who's your friend?

William. He hides in the woods.

Uh--

Uh, where did you meet William, sweetie?

In the backyard, while you were on the phone.

Did you see William?

I could only see a part of him.

Well, which... which part of him, sweetie?

His face was hard to see and his clothes were all dirty.

Is William a little boy?

Yes.

Okay, is... is William imaginary?

I don't think so.

You remember your friend Randy, right?Yeah.

Is he like Randy?

Not really.

But kind of like Randy?

-Maybe a little bit. -Okay.

Well, Randy was imaginary.

Do you remember that?Yes.

Yeah? Is that what William is too?

Yes.

Okay. All right.

Hey, it's okay to have imaginary friends.

We just wanna know who they are.

Okay, bud?Okay.

Okay.

Get in bed, sucka!

Dad!I ain't kiddin' around.

I got a surprise.What is it?

I'll ask the questions around here.

Now, you get in bed or you'll never know.Fine.

What's my surprise?

It's my...

tablet!

Cool!Yeah!

Here. Just pop these things in your ears there. Okay?

All right? And you're good to go.Okay.

Good night, boss.Night.

Hey, LensCrafters.

You wanna mess around?

Get over here.

Arnold.

Come play with us tonight, Arnold.

My mom and dad said you're not real.

Then they'll never know.

What's wrong with your head?

Nothing's wrong, Arnold.

Let's go have some fun.

Arnold? Arnold!
