Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi

Previously on Ghost Wars...

Something's not right.

Open that door and you'll kill us all!

Let us out!

What if the accelerator combined with the earthquake

ruptured something?

Something's wrong here.

I don't know what but I don't wanna find out.

You need to tell the world outside this town

what's going on.

I'm not ordering an evacuation

just because you guys decide to believe in ghosts.

Everybody in town's been seeing things, even me.

Everybody in this room is talking about how that freak

was the only person to survive that crash.

Hey, loser.

Marcus! Up an at 'em.

Marcus!

Marcus!

Come on, let's go.

You shall not eat it or touch it

or you will surely die!

But we have obeyed your commitments.

We would never lie to you.

Marcus.

What're you doing?

Expelling Adam and Eve from paradise.

What's for breakfast?

Ever since you let those mad scientists

move in on up the mountain

this whole town's gone to shit.

And we don't see any of them suffering.

Or you, for that matter, Val.

Lambda's in the same boat as all of us, Winston.

And they've been very generous-

Why isn't anyone fixing the bridge?

We'll fix the bridge.

As soon as we can,

but obviously our resources are limited right now.

There's next to nothing at the grocery store.

I mean, we're already running low on supplies.

I'm happy to sit with you all

to discuss individual concerns later.

The focus of this meeting is to find creative solutions

to resolving our problems.

Now, who has access to a short wave radio

or a satellite phone?

Obviously establishing communication with the mainland

has gotta be a priority.

A satellite phone? That's your plan?

We already know that the satellite phones don't work.

Do people even know what's happening to us?

Why haven't they sent help?

I can't answer that...

Ok, listen. One at a time.

Guys, we live here because we're resilient.

Remember the blizzard of '03?

We got snowed in for almost seven months

and still we persevered.

There weren't any ghosts in the damn blizzard.

Doug Rennie knew how to solve that problem.

No, no, no.

Roman saved our asses out on that bridge!

Doug Rennie really try to kill you?

What a dick.

You have the badge!

You didn't see it!

Sit down.

Threaten you, definitely.

Work you over a little bit, but murder?

That's crossing the line.

Uh, thanks, Shane.

Yeah.

Now is not the time to turn on each other.

Not now.

Hallucinations, apparitions, call it what you will.

We are all in the same boat.

We are in a time of crisis.

Now I for one am relieved that Val is in charge.

She's doing an incredible job.

Sure is.

Fear.

It thrives on standing alone.

Community. Brotherhood.

That's how we persevere.

I think that's Val's message.

We should never have to feel alone.

St. Martin's doors are always open, you know that.

You can come by any time you want.

You want to talk, or if you need support

or you're running low on food-

I'll make sure there's coffee and fresh muffins for everyone.

Ok, thank you.

Dan, can I have a word?

Yeah.

This was supposed to be a civic meeting not a sermon.

I'm trying to help, Val.

By turning this into a commercial

for St. Martin's?

We're facing a shit storm, Dan.

Yeah, I know that.

I was at the bridge.

I was at the bridge,

and I've been to the bus crash and Billy's boat.

These are all tragic accidents, nothing more.

Goler's cabin?

These people elected me mayor, not you.

Yeah.

My job is to keep them safe, not to mention sane.

I'm on your side, Val.

Then stop playing on their fears, Dan.

What've you been teaching Marcus in catechism?

That God is love.

It doesn't look that way to me.

Well, that's some insight

considering you haven't volunteered in a while.

Just dial back the fire and the brimstone, ok?

Sophia is accusing me of leading our younger parishioners astray.

Well, if you have a problem with catechism, Sophia-

There's no problem in catechism.

No, it's Marcus.

What's happened?

Can we speak in private?

If I'm being accused of something

I have every right -

Excuse us, Carol.

Is he ill?

No, he's fine, physically.

He's just, um... you know, I can't explain it.

He's not acting like himself.

Well, that's not surprising

considering everything that's going on.

I just feel like I'm screwing everything up.

No, you're not, of course you're not.

Father Dan.

Um, what time you guys open?

10:00 am every day.

Uh, so confessions, how does that work?

Are you gonna be ok?

I should go.

Marcus is in the car.

I'll be at the church, you know,

if you want to talk more.

I'd like that.

Wine and crackers.

That's at the beginning or the end of the service?

Watch your back.

It's the kissing cousins.

Jesse?

Nadine?

Hey, how do you do that, man?

How do you know when we're sneaking up behind you?

What's with the superpowers, dummy?

They're not powers.

That is so cool.

Hey, were your, like, ears burning, too?

Because you were talking about me?

Exactly!

That is so cool!

Oh, my god, they are such assholes.

Ok, bye. Thank you.

Hey, hey.

Uh, we were wondering, maybe if you're not busy later

you can swing by our place, man.

We could shoot some pool.

: Shooting pool balls at your head maybe.

...maybe a few appies.

They're so transparent.

They want you to clear the ghosts out of their house.

Uh, do you have any paranormal issues?

Dude, yes.

Ok, you gotta help us, ok?

We haven't slept in like a week.

And every time we try to my mom appears

and she's all...

messed up and rotted.

Yeah, but she's still a f@#$ing bitch.

Christ, Randeen, that is my mom.

She called me a skank whore.

It's not his mom.

It's not your mom.

Don't tell them!

How do you know?

I just know.

It's a ghost.

I'll see what I can do.

Hey, thanks buddy!

And we're serious, you know.

You need to come over and hang out.

It's been like forever.

That was my fifth birthday.

You're too nice to those jerks.

It's gonna bite you in the ass.

Maggie, leave them alone.

You think it's me?

It's not me.

Roman.

It is Roman, right?
