God watch over my daughter

Keep her from the path of Sln

Deliver her from the evil of Satan...

...and all his demons.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Amen.

I wish you didn't

have to go so far.

Don't worry I'm gonna be fine

It's just college.

- I love you.

- Oh, I love you.

All right, already, I'm comin '.

- What?

- Erica?

- Yeah.

- I'm Angie.

Your new roommate?

Oh, hey. Oh, yeah.

OK, come on in.

I thought you were supposed to be here

tomorrow night.

Well, I'm pretty sure I said the twenty-fourth.

Doesn't matter. You're here now, right?

Here's the quick tour.

Living room. Kitchen.

Bedroom.

My side. Your side.

And we'll talk about the closet later.

Didn't you say in the email

that there was a bed?

There was.

However, the b*tch that lived here before you,

decided last minute that she was gonna take it,

even though it wasn't hers.

You'll have to crash on the couch

until you find one.

I don't really have money to buy one.

We'll talk about it tomorrow, OK?

OK.

The apartment is great. Mm-hm.

My roommate?

She's, she's really nice.

No, I haven't had a chance to look yet.

I'm sure there's a church close by here

somewhere, yes.

I promise.

M owmh, whavvo to go whow

Yeah, I love you too. Bye.

Sorry.

Should watch where I'm goin '.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine. Excuse me.

Hail Mary full of grace.

Be careful.

That's so sad.

Yup.

Table... Desk...

M otorcyc o

Sell your eggs.

Where are all the friggin ' beds?

What do you think happened to her?

Who knows?

Last year, this girl went missing.

Her mom was on the news,

the police did a full manhunt.

Turns out she moved to Colorado

with her boyfriend and just didn't tell anyone.

It happens all the time.

Course, they did find some girl

down in Redding all hacked up last month.

Did they ever catch the guy?

I never heard anything about it if they did.

Not one f***ing bed -

are you kidding me?

Every time I come up here,

there's like a million of 'em.

- You find one?

- No, it's for a job babysitting.

- That's a Montague area code.

- What does that mean?

It's out in farm country.

It's the boonies.

Oh.

Well, I'm gonna check it out anyway.

Suit yourself. There another one

of these boards on the other side of campus.

Let's go see if there's any beds on it.

Now, here we have a painting

by Hans Aachen,

entitled Saint George Slaying the Dragon.

Now, Saint George

is the patron saint of England,

and is venerated throughout Christendom

for his example of bravery,

in the defence of the poor

and the downtrodden.

Keep in mind

that during this era of religious artistry,

that dragons were not just

the mere machinations of evil

derived from the minds of simple village folk,

but were in fact, symbolic representations

of the devil himself.

In this particular picture,

Saint George slays the dragon.

Once again, displaying the classic archetype

that good will defeat evil

and God will defeat... Satan.

Good. Now, on to the works

of Evelyn Munyan.

Hi, I was calling about the babysitting job.

Seven twenty-four Lancaster Road.

Got it.

OK. I'll see you in a few.

Hey, there.

You must be Angie.

- Angie, I'm Jim Stanton.

- Hi.

We appreciate you coming out here.

Know what a long drive it is.

Oh, it wasn't that bad.

You made it.

Hi. Violet Stanton.

- It's nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

And this... must be Sam.

He's a little shy at first,

but that's just till you get to know him.

- Isn't that right, Sam?

- That's quite a cowboy outfit you have there.

Yeah, he never takes the thing off.

He even sleeps in it most nights.

- Mm-hm.

- Really?

Well, if I had a cool cowboy hat like that,

I probably wouldn't take it off either.

I did the same thing when I was his age.

I had this ballerina outfit I wore all the time.

Oh, I love ballet. Do you still dance?

Actually, I never danced.

I just liked to wear the outfit.

Oh.

So, um, on the phone, you said something

about needing a sitter for a gathering?

Oh, yeah. Well, the gathering

is when all the local ranchers get together,

and help each other sort out the new calves

and brand 'em.

- Then they get vaccinated and wormed.

- Oh, wow.

We mostly work weekends, so that's when

we'd need you to watch Sam the most.

That's perfect.

You'll have to forgive the disaster zone.

We are under construction, as you can see,

so we're a little upside down.

- Would you like some homemade lemonade?

- That'd be great.

OK. Be right back.

So, are you restoring the entire house?

Uh, one room at a time.

I really didn't think

it was gonna be this much work.

Hm. How long have you been doing it?

I thought we were gonna be finished

with the whole house in two months,

but with plumbing and foundation, let's just say

we're going on just over a year now.

- Wow.

- I know.

Thank you.

So, tell me a little bit about yourself.

I'm eighteen. I'm in my first year

at Adams Community College.

Oh, great. What are you studying?

- Art history.

- Nice. Where are you from?

I just left Bakersfield for the first time.

Bakersfield. Don't they have

a community college in Bakersfield?

Oh, yeah, they do. Um, but the art history

programme is better here.

Really?

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

No, just me and my mom.

Mm.

Hm.

- May I use your restroom?

- Oh, sure. Of course.

The sink is broken in the one downstairs,
