Outcast

Thanks, sweetie. Come again.

Thank you, Vella. Have a good day.

You too, now.

Oh, howdy, Sarah.

- Hi, Vella. - Got your order all set and ready.

That'll be $12.50.

Sure you don't want to grab a booth?

Haven't seen the family for quite a bit.

Oh, we can't today, but we owe you a visit.

You keep that change.

God bless you, darling. Love to little Kyle.

Okay, Kyle.

Let's see...

I got you a grilled cheese.

Police. I know you're here.

Nothing to worry about.

Just a... friendly civil servant,

looking to retire with his ass intact.

Hello there.

I see you're not quite feeling yourself.

But we are gonna get that all fixed up.

Now come on, son.

I know you got folks out there worried about you.

You got folks wondering where ya are.

Don't move! Freeze! Stop!

Motherfucker!

Stop! Damn it! I said, freeze!

Stop!

Son, look at me!

Look at me, son! Look at me! I can help you through this.

Stop!

Jesus.

Daddy?

Yeah, Firefly?

When are we gonna get there?

When we get there.

Can I sit in the front seat?

I think you still got some growing to do.

I'm not a little kid anymore.

You're safer back there.

But I wanna sit with you.

I know you do.

Are you scared?

Climb up.

There you go. Click it or ticket.

What happened?

I burned it.

Fire is the devil's tool.

That's how he gets his rocks off.

I thought Sidney would appreciate the irony.

He's dead?

What do you know? He wasn't home.

I fucked that up, too.

He's the only person who knows what this is.

Maybe the only one who knows how to stop it

and you tried to kill him?

What are you doing here anyway?

I thought you were heading for the hills.

We got two states away and they were all around us.

They can sense us, Amber and me.

They're everywhere.

Are you surprised?

You think the devil is local? Sticks to the tri-county area?

- Where's Sidney? - No idea.

Didn't figure I'd find him here,

but I was hoping I'd find something

that might point me in the right direction.

So much for that.

He told me we're from the same place.

I'm not from hell.

Well, Lucifer was originally from heaven.

But he made his own hell, just like the rest of us.

Save it for Bible study, Rev.

- For goodness sake. - Rev?

Rev, I used to be proud of that little old nickname.

Now I detect a certain condescension,

like a "kick me" sign on my back.

Maybe Sidney isn't the devil,

fuck if I know.

At least I believed in something.

You... you... you're just swinging in the dark.

That's right, I am.

That's why I came back.

Doesn't make any damn sense for me

to keep running from the only person who believes me.

I can't help you.

I got no weapons left.

I don't have anybody else.

Hey! You can't be out here!

We were just leaving.

Okay, well then get your ass moving.

Until we sift through this mess, this is a crime scene.

All right.

Back so soon?

Figured you'd be half way to Texas by now.

Yeah. Change of plans.

Thanks for letting me know.

And how 'bout you, sweetheart? How you doing?

I really have to pee.

Oh, well, go on inside, honey. Go. Go, go, go.

How's Megan doing?

Hey, Megan.

It's me.

Will you talk to me?

I knew you'd hate coming here, but...

I couldn't think of anyplace else.

Least no one'll come looking for us.

I'm gonna take care of you and Holly.

Megan...

do you remember anything?

Patricia.

Hello, John.

How are you holding up?

I needed to do something.

I want to talk to you.

Patricia, I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault he ran off.

- I drove him away. - That's not true.

I was supposed to be the parent.

Always putting my child before everything else.

You could not have done more.

He was slipping away, but I was just so lonely.

Patricia...

I did anything I could to keep a man in my life

so I'd feel loved just for a while.

Pray for forgiveness.

He hated me for it.

"Town slut," he called me.

You have nothing to be forgiven for.

All right, nothing.

Will you help me find him?

Of course I will.

Catch anything?

Amber!

Hey!

You gotta stay where Mrs. Giles can see you. Okay?

I was talking to Holly.

Yeah?

What did she say?

Nothing really.

Look...

She's gonna need a lot of understanding from us.

We can do that, right?

Did you come here when you were a kid?

Yeah, a few times after Aunt Megan's family took me in.

It's pretty.

Why didn't we ever come?

Well, it wasn't really a happy place for me and Aunt Megan.

I gotta go see someone.

I wanna go with you.

I know you do, but you can't.

I don't want to stay here if this is a bad place.

I didn't say "bad."

I just said it's not a happy place. That's all.

Besides, I'll be back soon, okay?

You said you weren't gonna lie to me ever again.

I will be back soon.

Besides, you can take care of yourself.

We both saw that.

And you got Mrs. Giles looking after you.

She's a badass, so...

You shouldn't say "ass."

Yeah, well, if you're big enough to sit in the front seat,

I think you can handle it...

smart-ass.

Come here.

I love you, Firefly.

I love you, too.

All right, promise to behave.

Stay where she can see you. Okay?

Hell's bells, Owen!

We got a dangerous fugitive out there.

And you can't tell me who.

I didn't get a good look at him.

A... And... And dangerous, how, exactly?

So he breaks into old Gene's diner,

- that's trespassing... - Resisting arrest,

assaulting a police officer, namely me.

And for that you want a curfew, you want emergency funds for extra man power,

all to catch a trespasser? Come on.

I got a deranged individual out there,

and since when do I need to clear police business with you?

I'm the mayor, everything that happens in this town is my business.

- Uh, I'm sorry, Owen. - Howdy, folks.

I thought selling dishwashers was your business

and mine was keeping the peace. Wasn't that our arrangement?

I'm sorry, I've got customers.

Arrangements can change, Chief. Fortunes can turn,

you remember our old friend, the reverend, huh?

When you start losing support from people who count in this town,

you might end up very lonely indeed. You understand?

Yes, your honor.

Your customers await.

Hey there. Hi.

How are you? What can I help you with here?

- Looking at this one. - Well, that's a beaut...

You are like the proverbial bad penny.

What in the hell are we doing out here?

I need to find Sidney.

Well, good luck with that, son.
