May be able to stand against

the schemings of the devil.

For we do not rustle against

the flesh and the blood

Or against the

principalities that powers

And against the spiritual host

in these heavenly places."

That's not going to help.

I talked to your

little brother...

Stephan, right?

He looks about nine.

Stephan says he forgives you

For what you did.

where is he?

What was that?

I didn't say anything.

You're not serious?

Jessica, I want to help you

in any way I can,

But I have no knowledge here.

There's a seminary

in st. Louis

That has experience

with this sort of thing.

I'd love for her

to talk to someone there

If I can get them to see her,

But they'd have to meet her

outside of the hospital.

They're making me

talk to a social worker

Before I can take her home.

Well, maybe I can help with that

if they trust me here.

Here you go.

Are you taking me home?

It's for your own safety.

You have to eat.

Doesn't matter.

I'll make 'em go away.

what was that?

Tess!

Tess!

Tess!

I'm home.

I traveled a

lot when I was a kid.

My parents were missionaries,

so we...

Traveled all over the world,

But India was our first stop.

We'd only been there a few days

When I noticed all these people

Filing into the house

across the street.

So I snuck over...

And all the people

were sitting in the semicircle.

And...

This woman was kneeling

in the center

Swaying her head

back and forth...

Until something...

Overtook her.

She removed her hair

from her face

And...

She kept staring until

Her eyes began to change colors.

And they all raised their hands

wanting to speak to the woman,

Actually speak to their dead

loved ones through her.

She would do this every month.

I would say they were

taking advantage of her,

But I found out

She willingly went through it.

She considered it a gift

To bring the people

in that room some peace

And to convince the spirits

they could finally move on.

I think your daughter

may have the same gift,

And I think my daughter

is inside your daughter.

Everything's that's happened

to Tess

Could be a result of this gift.

stop calling it that.

sorry.

So what else makes you think

this is real?

She came into my store one day

And told me she had a

necklace like this one.

- She's had a lot of necklaces.

- And then she said a saying

That I used to say to Lucy

that she hated

That my mother always said to me

that I'm sure when she grew up

She would probably

say to her kids.

what was it?

"If your aunt had a mustache,

she'd be your uncle."

why would Tess have this?

I think some people

are just born with it.

The Indian girl didn't ask why.

She just accepted it and dealt
