The Sinner

Julian knew he was being abducted.

He acted in self-defense.

- I'm never going home, am I? - Yes, you are.

I don't think that she can get me out of here.

I don't believe her.

Lionel Jeffries.

His whole thing was about a return to ritual.

Symbolic play, and re-enacting trauma, that sort of thing.

- Who's on the mantle? - The Beacon.

He was the leader of Mosswood.

- Did you see this girl? - You should look in the lake.

- Lake? - They called it

the purple lake.

Tom's been telling us that you've been helping

on the Mosswood case.

Looks like somebody was living here.

What are you feeling right now?

I don't trust you.

So what time was that at, exactly?

About 4:00 AM.

And then, we had a conversation.

Yeah, you said you wanted that room.

- You know, the room where... - Right.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

This is proof Marin was at Mosswood

throughout all of this.

We need to confront Vera Walker.

I'm tired of tip-toeing around her.

Yeah, but this stuff, with Glen Fisher.

Another upstanding Keller citizen

caught up in Mosswood.

I don't know what they did to him,

but that is not the Glen Fisher I know.

It's like he's possessed.

In that storage locker, were there any other tapes?

Just the clothes.

Adam Lowry and Bess McTeer were headed there with Julian,

and someone was waiting for them.

What about surveillance footage?

The manager got nervous.

It's under Canadian jurisdiction,

so I had to file a petition. It's going to take a while.

God.

I just keep thinking of Julian waiting in that place,

wondering what's going to happen to him.

You going to tell me where you were last night?

I woke up my dad looking for you.

I just needed to revisit that room,

so I stayed in the motel.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

What happened with Vera?

We just talked for a while.

You know, more about the work that they do, that's all.

- Anything helpful? - I don't know, we'll see.

Come on. We're going to be late.

I'll be right back.

Can I talk to you?

You think this is going to help your case,

what you pulled last night?

- What do you mean? - Don't play dumb.

Because you slipped me something.

What was it, in that cup of tea?

- What? - Just tell me what happened.

You don't remember.

I remember telling you that I was angry,

and the next thing I know,

I'm waking up in the Rockford Lodge,

same room that Julian was in.

- So what happened? - Well, you drove away.

- You were fine. - I was not...

I was not fine. I was not fine.

Your ego is trying to block what's coming up.

We often say that the work finds you.

What did I say?

- Now is not the right time. - What did...

All right, come on.

Stand over here.

I have before me indictment 100-18,

charging the defendant, Julian Walker,

with two counts of murder in the second degree.

Mr. Shah, have you discussed the charges with your client?

I have, Your Honor.

Julian Walker, do you understand

that you are being charged with murder in the second degree?

And if you wish to enter a plea of not guilty,

you have the right to a jury trial.

Do you understand that, Julian?

It's okay, just say yes.

Yes.

All right, then. Mr. Shah.

We enter a plea of not guilty, Your Honor.

Ms. Walker, can I ask you a few questions?

Sure.

Do you know this woman?

I'm not sure.

You didn't meet her at Mosswood?

Her name is Marin Calhoun.

There are a lot of women

who have passed through over the years.

Well, that's interesting, because I happen to have proof

that she lived there the same time as you.

She joined August 26th, 2004.

And then, nine months later,

May 23rd, Julian is born.

What are you implying?

What does it sound like to you?

All right, we don't have to do this here.

- You're way out of line. - You're not his mother.

- Novack... - She is.

- Officer Novack. - This is ridiculous.

You want a DNA test, you can talk to Benji.

- You're so full of shit. - Come on, come on, let's go.

We know what you people do at Mosswood.

That was not the right move. You're letting her get to you.

And you're always on her side.

What was that detective yelling at you about?

Nothing, she's just making false accusations

like the police always do.

- Well, what did she say? - It's not important.

It's not for you to worry about.

It was about me. I can tell.

We have more important things to worry about, okay?

- You're lying. - Julian.

Julian, don't say good-bye to me like this.

All right.

Get in, come on.

I hate when she looks at me.

I can see it in her eyes.

She doesn't feel anything. She's just...

She's already gone.

And how does that make you feel?

Lonely.

I just want her back.

Vera.

And when you open your eyes,

you see your ex-wife, Katie, in front of you.

How do you feel?

Small.

And what do you want?

I want her to hold me.

Yes.

And then?

Stop looking at me!

Good. And then?

See, you don't like how it feels, right?

You don't like how it feels, right?

Bitch.

- And then? - You want to humiliate me?

You don't feel anything? You don't feel anything for me?

What, you don't feel me? Is that it, you don't feel it?

Fuck you! Fuck you!

You want to feel something? You want to feel something?

You want to feel me, bitch? You want to feel me?

Go ahead, feel me!

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Should that...

What happened in there,

should that be part of the work?

Every experience is part of the work, you know that.

Why, are you upset?

No.

It's just a moment, and then it passes.

That's what he's trying to teach us.

Vera.

Sorry, she just came to the gate

and was asking for you.

Marin.

Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

This is our dormitory.

This bed is free.

You can stay here as long as you like, okay?

Thank you.

What happened to you out there?

It doesn't matter.

It matters more than you think.

And it doesn't matter at all.

I'm sorry.

We feel so much, don't we?

And we have nowhere to put it.

We're conductors for one another.

No judgment, just love.

And release.

- I'm nervous. - I know.

But he's on your side.

Whatever he asks you, just be honest.

And what is he going to ask me?

Why you want to stay. What you're longing for.

Lionel, this is Marin.

Marin.

Nice to meet you. Come on in.

Hi.

I hear you're interested in life at Mosswood.

- Yeah. - Yeah, are you?

Yeah.

- How old are you? - I'm 18.

- You from around here? - Yeah, from Keller.

Oh, good.

Why don't you come over here and sit with me?

Heather, Harry.

Everything okay?
