by a psychiatric nurse at...

...Saint Luke's.

- Your sister.

Wanna give me a hand with those?

Yeah, sure.

Make sure Jesus is centered, all right?

Let's go, people! Let's go!

Hey, Gary, this is a great place.

I have a feeling

it's gonna be a terrific show.

- How's our girl doing, huh?

Not bad.

This is Beth. I'm calling for Taylor.

Taylor, when you get this,

will you call me, please? Thanks.

Jean's papers. I haven't had a chance

to go through them yet...

...but she kept records of everything

in case she had to go to court...

...so it's gotta be in here someplace.

She was the baby.

I was supposed to look out for her.

I'm sorry.

Is this it?

It says Marie Layton...

...checked her daughter Ellie

into the hospital for an asthma attack.

And here's the little one, Laurel,

stuck a needle in her hand.

Laurel, insect bites, a burn on her leg.

Ellie, another asthma attack.

Okay, Laurel again,

pesticide in her eye.

Here's another one.

Laurel ingested detergent.

And there, another burn.

Look at that. That's nine admissions

in April and May alone.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

It's when a mother wants attention,

so she hurts her children...

...so they need medical help.

But there's no way

she could've given Ellie asthma.

No, but she could have exposed her

to something to set it off.

So Ellie has an asthma attack and dies.

My sister starts asking questions.

Marie gets nervous

she's gonna be found out...

...so she takes Laurel and disappears.

I'm gonna go get Missing Persons on this.

A cell phone rings

and Death is on the line.

A beautiful coed,

a ticking clock of ghostly murder.

Next, American Miracles takes you there

as a famed exorcist...

...tries to outrace the mysterious curse

that has already claimed two lives.

Spiritual energy exists

in the same electromagnetic spectrum...

...as light or microwaves.

It's no surprise

it can travel through cellular phones.

And it grows there, like a seed...

...where it eventually manifests as

hallucinations, spiritual disturbances...

...and finally death.

For you, darling.

Taylor, it's Beth.

Hey, Beth.

Listen, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

It's okay. Hold on.

We'll be there in a few minutes.

No. It's gonna work out. I know it.

- No, Taylor, listen to me.

- There's nothing else I can do.

- Sh*t.

Okay, everybody, here we go.

Quiet, please. And four, three, two...

We cast out this unclean spirit.

Depart from here, Satan.

Depart, every demonic power...

...every infernal adversary, every legion.

I command you.

I command you in the name of God...

...in the names of all his heavenly

angels, to be gone from this cell phone.

I command you...
