Their- Their faces, and

there was, uh...

Gasoline.

He put gasoline on us. And, um...

Somehow I knew it was

wrong, and I ran, and...

There was this big wind that

picked me up and threw me.

And then, I don't know, um...

When I opened my

eyes, I was here.

Why wasn't any evidence found?

Jerry cans would have been burned

up completely before anything else.

We knew there was an explosion.

We just didn't know how or why.

Well, Lieutenant.

You must be pleased to close

the case after thirteen years.

Who said it was closed?

What do you mean by that?

Well, Sleeping Beauty

here woke up.

She didn't remember anything about the

thirty deaths. So now she remembers.

It was a goddamn Jonestown.

A suicide pact.

Who knows what she'll

remember tomorrow?

If she ran for her

life like she says

or that she though the whole

thing was a nifty idea.

Hell...

Maybe she bought the damn gasoline

and helped pour it on the babies.

- That's enough.

- That's out of line.

Please, if you don't mind. Please.

That man's a candidate

for shock therapy.

A jumper cable right up his ass.

No, he's right.

They expected me to keep

my promise at Unity Fields.

And they still do.

Man, there's nothing

like a hot shower, huh?

Mm. Um, Cynthia.

Oh. Are you alright?

- I thought that after today, that, um-

- I'm fine.

You know what? There's a hole

where my heart's supposed to be.

It's like it hurts here,

because I'm empty.

Um, you know, what you

were saying about togetherness

and everything makes perfect

$9086 llo me.

Mm, you know, maybe there's

a little hope for me, sort of.

I think you want to help people.

Not, um, not like some others.

Um, if you need a friend here...

All of my friends are dead.

Oh. Oh. Okay. Um, if you need, um,

a friend, a new- A new friend, um-

Please.

Will you just leave me alone?

- Um.

- Please.

Leave me alone.

Lana, wait a second.

She didn't mean it!

Sh*t.

Look. Look! Lana may be a

little weird, even for this place,

but she means well.

I probably pull her chain too much,

but she's reaching out. We all are.

You should try to help her.

I can't help myself.

Cynthia.

Unity. Unity.

Cynthia.

- Unity.

- Join us.

Come here, my child.

Cynthia, you're now

part of the whole.

Embrace the unity

of spirit before you.

Heart of the mind,

soul of the self.

Spirit of the body.

Cleanse. Cleanse. Cleanse.

Cleanse. Cleanse!

I warned you, Cynthia. I warned you

someone else would take your place.

Bob! We got a girl

drowned in the pool.

Get her legs. Get

her legs up. Come on.

She's got no breath.

- God!

- How long was she under?

Did you see the police this morning?

They're all over the pool.
