sisters living and working there.

How amazing would it be

to dedicate your life like that,

and not have to do secular work?

Have, um...

Have you guys ever heard

of demons tormenting people?

[scoffs]

Why?

Because I... I think

there's one in the attic.

- Are you being daft?

- No.

No, I'm being serious. I can hear it

up there making noises all night.

It's just house noise.

No. No. Look,

demons do it.

I mean, look, they mess...

They mess with brothers and

sisters, right, that...

- That happens.

- [Alex] Right.

And there's not much time left, and

you might think this is a joke,

but I can...

it's like I can physically feel them

trying to pull me away from the truth.

- It's probably just house noise.

- No!

No. 'Cause like, it's...

It's there.

It's just... [growling]

[laughs]

- And then I pray, and it just stops!

- [snaps fingers]

And then the next night,

it's there again.

[Michelle] Are you sure

you're not up to no good?

Yeah. Why would a demon

be in your house?

Don't you have

to summon one first?

I don't know.

I don't...

A previous owner, maybe?

You think I should

call an elder?

They'll think you've gone

mental if you do that.

[chuckles nervously]

Could you pass me the bag?

[leaves rustling]

[shovel scraping dirt]

[indistinct chattering]

[muffled music thumping

over stereo]

[Luisa]

Guys, this is my sister.

Alex, this is Chloe,

and this is Umar.

- [Alex] Hey.

- You all right?

I'm just dropping

these off, okay.

[Chloe]

So, what do you do?

- Uh, I've got... I've got a gardening job.

- Ah.

But we also pioneer.

Oh, what's that?

It's what some

Jehovah's Witnesses do.

You guys are Jehovah's Witnesses?

No way!

You never said.

That's cool. One of my

neighbors is a Jehovah.

[Alex] You know, the

Greek word "stauros"

is what they used

when writing the Bible.

But the word "stauros"

doesn't actually mean "cross,"

it means "upright stake"

or "pole."

It was only in the fourth

century, when Christianity came,

that the word changed meaning.

So, you see, Jesus wasn't

actually nailed to a cross,

he was nailed

to an upright stake.

The cross is a pagan symbol

used by false religions.

She don't wanna know all that.

- I just thought you should know.

- Well, it's a bit disrespectful.

[Chloe]

It's okay.

[Umar] So, what do you

guys believe in then?

Going to heaven or what?

Come on, I'm serious.

I wanna know.

God is gonna restore Earth

back to paradise,

how he intended it to be.

Like in Genesis,

that's where we'll live.

[scoffs] Right. So, what about

everyone who ain't a Jehovah's?

God'll decide

what's in their hearts,

but if they refuse to listen,

then they'll be removed.
