1 00:00:05,538 --> 00:00:11,611 I need you on the stand to confirm your earlier testimony. KRISTEN: You want someone to lie for you on the stand? 2 00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:18,318 You can get someone else. Not me. Your Honor. I work for the Catholic Church. So you're a priest? 3 00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:31,197 An assessor. My colleague Ben and I are hired by the Church to investigate unexplained phenomena. The Church has a backlog of about 500,000 requests for exorcisms and, uh, miracle appraisals. I didn't know that was a job. KURT: A night terror? 4 00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:38,304 KRISTEN: Shadow figure was in my dream. Called himself "George." (exhales sharply) (exhales sharply) This guy Townsend, you know him? 5 00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:48,000 DAVID: I've seen him, in other guises. That man is a psychopath who feels less alone when he gets others to do what he does. Don't you remember? 6 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,281 to do what he does. Don't you remember? 7 00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:51,451 Julia. Weepy little bitch. 8 00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:58,558 We got our next assignment. Hmm. And it's not demonic possession. What is it? 9 00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:00,000 A miracle. What is it? 10 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,095 A miracle. Is she joining us? 11 00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:05,432 I mean, I could have a look. 12 00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:34,828 Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (siren wailing in distance) Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (siren wailing in distance) Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. (panting) 13 00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:51,711 Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. You know what I like about sex? 14 00:01:51,778 --> 00:02:20,206 Holy Mary, mother of God... That moment when you see in her eye that she wants you. ...pray for us sinners... Kristen wants you. ...now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. Kristen wants you. ...now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. And when she bites you, oh, my God. Hail Mary, full of... And screams, like she's out of her mind. You can't tell me that's from heaven. You don't say she screams like a saint, you say she screams like a frickin' demon. (chuckling) I'm sorry. Did that distract you? 15 00:02:20,273 --> 00:02:22,675 Why don't you make up your own prayers? 16 00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:27,213 Why do you keep repeating that same old crap over and over again? 17 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,251 Hail Mary, full of grace... Who's on first? 18 00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:34,587 ...the Lord is with thee. Blessed... I'm asking you who's on first? 19 00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:38,191 ...mother of God, pray for us sinners... That's the man's name. ...mother of God, pray for us sinners... That's the man's name. That's who's name? 20 00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:40,927 Yes. Well, then, who's on first? 21 00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:45,632 Yes. Go ahead and tell me. That's it. That's who? 22 00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:46,499 Yes. 23 00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:51,204 So, how does this work with a miracle? 24 00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:58,177 Well, we investigate the medical evidence, and you, as our psychological and medical advisor... I'm a medical advisor? 25 00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:13,493 Yeah, don't be too flattered. I'm the tech advisor. Well, you have four years of undergraduate training, so you win. And you're cheap. That's flattering. So you offer your opinion as to whether this evidence is beyond our scientific understanding. BEN: Is that her? 26 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,298 Yeah. Naomi Clark. 18. Cardiac arrest in the middle of a college soccer game. 27 00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:21,501 BEN: When did this happen? 28 00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:28,942 Three weeks ago. She... WOMAN (crying loudly): No, no! No. No... 29 00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,451 Oh, God, oh... 30 00:03:58,605 --> 00:04:00,640 How long has she been dead? 31 00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:03,543 DAVID: Almost three hours. 32 00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:06,546 KRISTEN: Oh, my God. 33 00:04:11,951 --> 00:04:26,466 CORONER: Begin recording. I'm starting an incision at 8:36 p.m. Patient was an 18-year-old African American female with no significant past medical history. First incision will be at the jaw line. There is no... (gasps) 34 00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:38,311 (hurried footsteps, muffled voices) (video ends) Wow. 35 00:04:39,512 --> 00:05:04,871 It's not a miracle. I wish it were. We could avoid a lawsuit. But I don't understand. Your hospital declared Naomi dead at 5:33 p.m. Then, 177 minutes later, she sat up in the morgue. Look, I know you're invested in proving this is a miracle... No, actually, we're not. ...and I agreed to let the archdiocese ask me a few questions, but medicine has limits to its knowledge. You know, it's not all-knowing, and we're not God. (chuckles) 36 00:05:06,739 --> 00:05:12,712 Physiologies are different. Young people tend to bounce back sooner than expected. So you're saying it's because Naomi was young that she was able to bounce back? 37 00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:22,989 No. I'm saying the patient suffered from bouts of hyperinflation, and that gave the appearance that she was non-responsive. Hyperinflation? What is that? 38 00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:35,668 A condition in which the lungs lack elasticity. The excess air from CPR gets trapped in the lungs and keeps the patient from breathing freely. So the patient had COPD. Are you with the Church? 39 00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:40,073 Yes. She's our psychological advisor. 40 00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:54,787 Look, these were emergency circumstances. The patient was in cardiac arrest, and the first responders were inexperienced. They rushed the CPR and didn't realize her alveoli would be so inelastic. That's bull. So it's not hyperinflation? 41 00:05:54,787 --> 00:06:08,367 No. He's trying to blame us to dodge a malpractice. He says you were overanxious and kept administering CPR. 'Cause she was dying. We got our patient to the door. Rapid response takes over. So what do you think happened? 42 00:06:08,434 --> 00:06:12,538 You don't want to know what I think happened. Yes, I do. 43 00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:26,919 (sighs) Look, I'm not religious. I don't believe in all that stuff, but come on. That girl was dead for three hours. I saw her dead. Lividity sets in after an hour, brain death after 90 minutes. Do you think it was a miracle? 44 00:06:26,986 --> 00:06:37,597 I don't know. I don't like that word, but... something happened. You can call it a miracle, you can call it just weird, but something happened. 45 00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:41,934 BEN: Do they have cameras in the operating room? 46 00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:42,802 Why? 47 00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:53,980 Just to see what life-saving precautions the hospital took. You mean the trauma bay. And, yeah, but they erase that stuff after a week. So what are you thinking? 48 00:06:54,046 --> 00:07:05,258 I mean, I think it's possible. It's happened before, COPD patient reviving after coding. But after three hours? That's just extreme. Did you ever work on a malpractice case at the DA's office? 49 00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:06,000 Yeah. Once. Why? 50 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,000 at the DA's office? 51 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,727 Yeah. Once. Why? 52 00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:12,465 Aren't these surveillance tapes considered evidence? 53 00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:24,210 KRISTEN: Darryl. Kristen Bouchard. I thought you were fired. I was. But I just can't stay away from you. What you eating? 54 00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:27,480 Food. So what are you doing here? 55 00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:35,087 I heard that you're on this malpractice lawsuit at Harbor Hospital. I need surveillance footage from the hospital that night. Uh, why would I do that? 56 00:07:35,154 --> 00:07:42,562 Because I can feed you information on the hospital's defense. Kristen. Hey. Lewis. I'm rushing to court. Lewis. I'm rushing to court. Do you have a minute? 57 00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:48,568 Of course. Yeah. Let's talk, Darryl. Is your husband still off climbing? 58 00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:54,106 Yes. Another few weeks. What do you think about coming back for a short stint? 59 00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:55,842 You want me to come back here? 60 00:07:55,908 --> 00:08:02,582 Yeah. It's just a bad time to look for someone new. You could carry on the cases you already started. 61 00:08:05,184 --> 00:08:13,526 Well, my only worry, Lewis, is that I need a little bit more certainty than this job offers. And you have that certainty in your new job? 62 00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:21,968 I do. Okay. What kind of certainty are you looking for? 63 00:08:31,577 --> 00:08:34,679 We got the call. You got it? 64 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,585 So you got this from one of the lawyers? 65 00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:43,722 Plaintiff's attorney. Okay. 66 00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:55,801 (indistinct doctors' conversations) MAN: All right, give me a count. MULTIPLE VOICES: One, two, three, four, five, six... Are they rushing the CPR? 67 00:08:55,868 --> 00:09:03,142 No, it doesn't look like it. Pretty textbook. WOMAN: BP's falling. WOMAN 2: Still no pulse. What is that? 68 00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,611 I don't know. Power surge? 69 00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:09,115 MAN: Pulse. (indistinct conversation) 70 00:09:10,316 --> 00:09:12,718 Weird. What? 71 00:09:12,785 --> 00:09:15,688 There power surges... Hold on. 72 00:09:19,158 --> 00:09:21,928 Did you see that? 73 00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:23,629 What? 74 00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:27,033 Mmm. Hey, uh... Mmm. Hey, uh... do it again. 75 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:33,205 What-- What is that? 76 00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:44,784 I don't understand. It's... it's been faked. DAVID: What do you mean? 77 00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:48,354 BEN: I-I mean, hasn't anyone else seen this? 78 00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:59,799 A lawyer, but he didn't mention it. We almost played through it ourselves. It was just a flash. This is a re-used digital card. What we're looking at is an artifact of an earlier recording. You can find out? 79 00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:02,301 Oh, yeah. I'm going to. 80 00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:09,742 (train passing) Too bizarre for you? 81 00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:13,713 (both chuckle) You always seeing angels in your videos? 82 00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:20,453 Eh, Ben's probably right. It's just an artifact of a digital recording. Can I ask you something? 83 00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:26,692 Sure. So... you believe in miracles? 84 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:32,131 I do. Do you think I'm crazy? 85 00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:43,142 No, I don't. But... I just want to understand. So... so you think that if you just pray hard enough, God's gonna grant you miracles? 86 00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:57,156 No, it's not like that. It's, um... God has designs with... within designs. And to us, they are impenetrable. (chuckles) 87 00:11:00,126 --> 00:11:31,190 My youngest daughter, Laura, she, um... she was born with a heart defect in her mitral valve. It's just a genetic screw-up. It's fate. You know, the-the muscle formed one way and not another. But there's a 50-50 chance that she'll die before she's 20. Just drop dead in the middle of anything, really. Walking, running, sleeping. Oh, my God. 88 00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:37,129 I'm sorry. That's okay. 89 00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:47,740 Doctor wants to see her in three weeks because the valve may develop on its own, and it may regress and in three weeks we're gonna find out which it is. 90 00:11:49,141 --> 00:12:23,042 It's weird, really. The future decided in one hospital visit. Just a flip of the coin. Heads, the valve's developing, tails, it's regressing and she'll... she'll be dead before she can graduate college. And if I thought that prayer would have any impact on it at all, I mean, I would be on my knees every single night. I wouldn't go out. I would pray so much, I'd shame the saints. But that's not how it works, is it? 91 00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:40,226 I mean, there are millions of religious people praying, and they still die of cancer or car accidents. And there are still bastards who survive to 90. So I don't understand the worth of prayer if it doesn't help. 92 00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:55,508 I don't know... I... but I'll pray for your daughter. I'll pray for Laura. 93 00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:00,813 Is she all right? 94 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,482 She's great. 95 00:13:05,351 --> 00:13:06,952 She makes me laugh. 96 00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:20,232 I just don't understand how God could choose winners and losers. He doesn't. But if there are miracles, then some people get them, and some people don't, right? 97 00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:21,967 I mean, isn't that the problem with miracles? 98 00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:26,906 Not that they happen, but that they happen to some people and not to others. 99 00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,813 Do you want to drop out of this assessment? 100 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,550 I would understand if you did. 101 00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:43,822 No, I-I don't. I... I want to do this. 102 00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:57,203 But, um... the DA's office did ask me to return. They're offering me a two-year contract to work with them. 103 00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:00,906 And you want to go back? 104 00:14:00,973 --> 00:14:02,908 I can't turn down the money. 105 00:14:04,543 --> 00:14:06,979 Well, when do you have to decide? 106 00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:16,488 Tomorrow. (chuckles) Okay. Well, uh... let me see what I can do. 107 00:14:36,008 --> 00:14:36,875 What happened? 108 00:14:36,942 --> 00:14:38,110 Laura! Laura, are you okay? 109 00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:39,044 LEXIS: Laura! 110 00:14:39,111 --> 00:14:39,912 LILA: Laura, are you okay? 111 00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:42,047 Mom, is she okay? Do you need water? 112 00:14:42,114 --> 00:14:43,415 (children continue talking) Are you all right? 113 00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:46,385 Yeah. Was your teacher punching you again? 114 00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:49,088 Can I sleep with you, Mom? It's wet. 115 00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:54,026 Shh... 116 00:14:57,329 --> 00:15:06,505 I didn't wet my bed, Mom. Shh. It's okay. It's okay, just go to sleep. I didn't. It was a man. 117 00:15:07,706 --> 00:15:10,042 What man? 118 00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:17,449 He was scary. He had really big teeth and red eyes, and, like, you know, like a devil-person. 119 00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:29,995 And I couldn't move. He had a knife he was holding to my hand. Cutting off my fingers. 120 00:15:48,747 --> 00:15:57,423 I mean, that's what I don't understand. My daughter is seeing the exact same things in her nightmares as I am. And you never told her about the imagery from your nightmares? 121 00:15:57,423 --> 00:15:59,325 No. I would never. 122 00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:06,398 Kurt. (sighs) I'm sorry. Second nature. 123 00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:10,202 How similar were your nightmares? 124 00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:31,390 Both have a demonic creature. Mm-hmm. With a knife. Cutting off fingers. That's pretty generic. Could she be reacting to the same imagery, like, a-a billboard you've seen together, or a... a drawing? I mean, I-- No, uh, not that I know of. Are you still working with that new job, that demonic possession thing? 125 00:16:31,457 --> 00:16:38,464 No. I mean, yes, I am, but now, um, it's focused on miracles. You're looking into miracles? 126 00:16:38,530 --> 00:17:04,256 Medical singularities. I'm fascinated. No, you're not. You're being dismissive. No. I did a cultural tour in Bali. Alternative cultures often use spiritual images in their psychological work. It has a great placebo effect. I should probably head out. Kristen... I have extra security now, to protect against theft. No notes. I think we should start up again weekly. 127 00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:13,332 Let me think about it. So... what do you say, Monsignor? 128 00:17:13,398 --> 00:17:15,300 She wants a two-year commitment? 129 00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:24,343 She's being offered one by her old job. And we don't want to lose her. And how is this assessment at Harbor Hospital going? 130 00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:25,644 The miracle? 131 00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:31,183 Well, that is debatable. You know the priest, Father Augustus? 132 00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:41,593 I do. I'm not sure God uses an alcoholic for His miracles. He used Moses. (chuckling): You just like being contentious, don't you? 133 00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:47,466 They call him the "miracle priest" now. So you want this all to go away? 134 00:17:47,533 --> 00:18:07,352 No, I-I just want an honest assessment. But I also don't want the Church embarrassed. Well, But I also don't want the Church embarrassed. Well, Kristin is giving us an honest assessment. And she's a deal. Okay. Okay. I'll get you the money. Interview Augustus. Make sure he won't embarrass us. 135 00:18:10,222 --> 00:18:12,324 SECURITY GUARD: Where'd you get this? 136 00:18:12,391 --> 00:18:14,460 Anonymously. What is that? 137 00:18:14,526 --> 00:18:18,597 I have no idea. Do you record over old digital cards? 138 00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:21,867 No. We do not. What is that? 139 00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:26,171 I don't know. A ghost. An angel? 140 00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:27,639 What do you want it to be? 141 00:18:27,706 --> 00:18:30,342 Ooh. What? 142 00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:33,579 Uh, it's nothing. It sounded like something. What? 143 00:18:36,915 --> 00:18:58,804 I know who that is. BEN: Bernadette May. Who's that? She's a teacher's aide who was admitted to the hospital three days earlier, uh, with a migraine. So it was an old digital chip that someone recorded over. No. Well... I don't follow. All right, look, it's probably nothing. Well, then, tell us, what is it? 144 00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:11,617 Bernadette May died an hour before Naomi. From a brain aneurism. DAVID: Well, I don't follow. KRISTEN: The figure we saw in the video, the one floating. She died? 145 00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:19,424 This is starting to sound like a ghost story. Okay, so, look. I'm gonna check the recording and make sure that it wasn't manipulated. Why would someone manipulate it? 146 00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:22,261 Look, there are these things that are called deep fakes, okay? 147 00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:30,536 You can, you can, uh, manipulate the pixels and make it look like anything you want, you know? You can turn me into a goat, you can make me fly, whatever. So you think that's what this is, a deep fake? 148 00:19:30,602 --> 00:19:33,539 I don't know. Okay? I'm looking. 149 00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:37,643 Is he angry with me? 150 00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:47,419 No... he's just angry at the unsolved. MAN: Miracle priest, bless me. WOMAN: Heal me, Father. You faith has healed you. Bless me, Father. Put your faith in God. 151 00:19:51,557 --> 00:19:53,392 David. 152 00:19:54,726 --> 00:19:54,726 How are you? 153 00:19:54,726 --> 00:20:03,969 Hi, Father. This is Kristen. Kristen, Father Augustus. Pleasure to meet you. We're looking into the Naomi Clark situation. Situation? Is that what the Church wants to call it? 154 00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,437 What would you call it? 155 00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:11,243 Divine intervention. (quietly): Jim... I can smell the whiskey on your breath. 156 00:20:12,778 --> 00:20:17,983 Maybe you heard, David. God uses the sinner and the just alike. Is that what happened? 157 00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:18,050 God used you? 158 00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:42,507 I don't know. I felt it. From her skin. Something. Sorry. I don't have visions like you. God never liked me. I talk to Him all the time, every night. He's the quietest roommate in the world. What did you whisper to her? Naomi? 159 00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:42,574 In the video? 160 00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:51,583 Prayer for the dead. No, no, no. You held her hand and you whispered something in her ear. Oh. 161 00:20:52,884 --> 00:21:04,463 "Don't go. Stay. Please, God, let her stay." I know. Not much of a prayer. I'd just given last rites to another woman upstairs. She died of a brain aneurysm. Bernadette May? 162 00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:33,425 Yeah, she-she grabbed my hand and looked at me. She knew she was dying, but there was this look of peace on her, like she saw what was coming. My hand was still warm from her when I went to the morgue. That's why I held onto Naomi. I didn't want her to go. She felt something. I know she felt it. So, uh, you have visions? 163 00:21:35,093 --> 00:21:51,009 Well, a few years ago, I saw... things. It was like a dream or something. Anyway, that was a long time ago, and I was under a lot of stress and it was just after my friend died. Julia? 164 00:21:51,076 --> 00:21:59,885 Yes. It gave me hope when I needed it. But you haven't had any visions since? 165 00:21:59,951 --> 00:22:02,788 No. 166 00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,898 KARIMA: What's that? 167 00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:20,639 I don't know. I'm trying to figure out if this is a fake. Is this for your priest? 168 00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:24,810 It's for my job. Your job for your priest. Where's this from? 169 00:22:24,876 --> 00:22:37,422 It's a hospital surveillance camera. Dad's asking if you're coming in for prayers. Yeah, I know, but you can't blame him for trying. 170 00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:39,958 What, that's it? 171 00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:50,001 That's it. Six frames. I don't know. Something's up with the pixels. Mm-hmm. If it's a fake, it's a good one. What is she supposed to be? 172 00:22:50,068 --> 00:22:56,608 Someone who's dead. Yeah, I know. She died an hour earlier. 173 00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:28,707 KRISTEN: Lewis. I have those two outstanding cases I promised you. Oh. Great. Here you go. Oh. Great. Here you go. And I'd really like to thank you for the contract offer, but I think I'll have to pass. This new job, it's... No need to thank me. Actually, we came into an opportunity overnight. Another forensic psychologist, one you faced in court. In fact, I need you to update him on the two cases you were working on. Leland! 174 00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:35,781 It's good to see you again. 175 00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:57,669 Lewis, this guy, he's a psychopath. Oh, come on. No, I'm serious. He fed information to the serial killer LeRoux, and he encouraged him to kill. He already told me his account was hacked. That is a lie. I saw the evidence, Kristen. He's a liar. He stole my therapy notes. He got the better of you in court, okay? 176 00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:05,010 But... I get that you're angry, but he's a good forensic psychologist, so please brief him on your cases. 177 00:24:10,081 --> 00:24:26,798 Kristen. Kristen, you left your notes in the office. They're not mine. I know. I just wanted to talk to you. We have nothing to say to each other. You must be kidding. We have everything to say. You're just gonna overturn everything I did on these two cases? 178 00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:29,100 Argue to release the guilty? Imprison the innocent? 179 00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:43,815 Yeah, but not because I'm bad. Because you're easily persuaded, Kristen. You're too soft. You said so yourself in therapy session number 12. How's David? 180 00:24:45,851 --> 00:25:03,735 Here's the most important thing to remember about David: He sells himself as this good man, but ask him about the second time he saw God. I have no idea what that means. Yeah, that's why you need to ask him: "Tell me, David, about the second time you saw God," and trust me, it's a good story. 181 00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:07,105 Good luck with your "miracle." 182 00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:29,761 (door closes) DAUGHTERS: Mom! Mom! Daughters! Who'd you kill? 183 00:25:29,828 --> 00:25:55,020 The postman. He was trying to deliver mail and... (daughters talking over each other) All right, well, don't forget to clean up with Lysol. We will. We got it! You're home a little late. You said 8:00. Yes. And thank you for being so patient, Mom. She wasn't so patient. Yes, she was. I watched your scary little show. (all talking at once) (chuckles) I'm getting way too old for this. (sighs) What happened? 184 00:25:55,086 --> 00:26:03,962 You look like something went wrong. No, I'm-I'm-I'm just... I'm just really happy to be home with my mom and my daughters. Okay, so you're not gonna tell me. 185 00:26:05,363 --> 00:26:06,831 So what are we watching? 186 00:26:06,898 --> 00:26:22,213 A scary show. (roars) Wow, that is so nice of Grandma to just let you watch whatever you want. Okay, I'm leaving now. Hey, kids, listen up-- misbehave, okay? Do not listen to your mother. She's too strict. DAUGHTERS: Okay. She's too strict. DAUGHTERS: Okay. I love you, Mom. SHERYL: All right. 187 00:26:24,182 --> 00:26:29,287 Mom, don't joke like that. What are we watching? 188 00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:36,094 You've seen it, Mom. You said it looked good. What did you do with the toy spider, and the... So do I have to watch it from the beginning? 189 00:26:36,161 --> 00:26:40,765 No, they moved into a new house. And it's haunted. Dad! KRISTEN: Where's the mom? 190 00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:45,904 Oh, she's dead. She died in a car crash. Oh, of course she did. Why'd you say it like that? 191 00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:54,245 Well, because in movies, the mom's always dead. Movies hate moms. Okay, turn out the lights. Guys, is this really a good idea? 192 00:26:54,312 --> 00:26:58,249 (overlapping talking) I'm not even scared. I'm a bit scared. You're really gonna like this part. 193 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,000 You're really gonna like this part. 194 00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:07,325 (thunder crashes) KRISTEN: Don't open the door! Oh, my gosh! Don't open the door! Mom! Are you kidding me? 195 00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:14,899 I don't want to have to cover your mouth. KRISTEN: But why would she open the door if it's so... (thunder crashes) 196 00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:24,809 (overlapping protests) What are you doing? 197 00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:29,047 That's the only part I wasn't scared. (overlapping chatter) 198 00:27:33,752 --> 00:27:54,000 Bedtime. That's the only part I wasn't scared. (overlapping chatter) No! Mom! (overlapping chatter) No! Mom! KRISTEN: Let's go. (chatter continues) You've let us watch a lot worse. And moms sometimes make mistakes. Yeah, maybe this is the mistake. Yes, maybe. Let's go. Upstairs. Bedtime. Maybe we'll have nightmares if you don't let us watch it. That's exactly how that works. Let's go. No, Laura, hold on, wait one second. I want to ask you something. What? 199 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,407 I want to ask you something. What? 200 00:27:55,473 --> 00:27:55,473 What did I do? 201 00:27:55,473 --> 00:28:06,751 Nothing. I just want to ask you something. No, you guys all go up. That's so unfair. No, you guys all go up. That's so unfair. She's just gonna convince you to watch... That thing in the video, that demon, is that what you saw in your nightmare? 202 00:28:06,818 --> 00:28:20,265 Mm... You said it had a knife and big teeth. I think when you have dreams and nightmares, it usually comes from stuff you saw during the day. Is that why you didn't want us to watch it? 203 00:28:20,331 --> 00:28:37,849 I think I saw it, too. I don't remember when, but I think I saw that same thing in my nightmare. But now that we know, we can face it. It's not real. It's just from that TV show. Streaming. Streaming show. So don't be scared. It all makes sense, okay? 204 00:28:37,916 --> 00:28:39,217 Can I sleep with you? 205 00:28:39,284 --> 00:28:41,753 One more night? 206 00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:28,533 Who is it? 207 00:29:54,893 --> 00:29:57,962 (scurrying) Hey! 208 00:30:08,573 --> 00:30:17,849 Laura, Lexis, Lynn, Lila! Open the door! Lila, Lila! (inhales sharply) 209 00:30:21,953 --> 00:30:25,356 (exhales) GEORGE: Bad dream? 210 00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:37,902 Try counting sheep. You're part of my mind. You're not even original. You're from a bad TV show. Bad? 211 00:30:37,969 --> 00:30:41,139 Well, that's just hurtful. 212 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,108 Hmm? 213 00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:49,447 Oh... You know what's great about a night terror, Kristen? 214 00:30:49,514 --> 00:31:08,132 You can't move. Just your eyes. Watch the knife. KRISTEN: Wake up. Wake up. Well, just grab the knife, Kristen. Come on, move that hand. How hard can it be? 215 00:31:08,199 --> 00:31:12,937 Wake up. Wake up. How about her heart? 216 00:31:13,004 --> 00:31:15,640 Which valve shall I take out? The mitral? 217 00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:18,910 Why are we waiting until she's 20? 218 00:31:18,977 --> 00:31:30,288 Let's finish it now. KRISTEN: (gasps) Laura, please. (crying): Laura, please, wake up. Mom, wake up. Mom! Mom! (panting) 219 00:31:33,057 --> 00:31:39,964 You were having a nightmare. (exhales): I know. I'm sorry, I was. Oh, my gosh. 220 00:31:43,134 --> 00:31:53,011 I'll hold you, Mom. You go to sleep, I'll hold you. Thank you. You're such a good baby. You're my sweet baby. DAVID: And this was yesterday? 221 00:31:53,011 --> 00:31:54,000 KRISTEN: Yeah. 222 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,000 DAVID: And this was yesterday? 223 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,349 KRISTEN: Yeah. What did he say? 224 00:31:58,416 --> 00:32:06,591 He said he was gonna reverse everything I did. Every innocent person would be guilty, and every guilty person would be innocent. And did you tell your boss? 225 00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:14,699 Yeah, I told him Townsend was a psychopath, and he thought it was professional jealousy. He also knew that we were investigating a miracle. 226 00:32:17,168 --> 00:32:21,606 He's coming after us. Why? 227 00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:30,048 Why, David? Why is he coming after us? I want to tell you, but it's not a language you believe. Because you think he's a demon? 228 00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:31,382 Yes. 229 00:32:33,251 --> 00:32:38,456 So tell me in language I'll believe. He wants to kill hope. 230 00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:44,696 He also suggested I ask you something. 231 00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:52,303 What? He suggested I ask you about the second time you saw God? 232 00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,343 What does that mean? 233 00:32:58,409 --> 00:33:03,614 He wants to divide us. Why would that divide us? 234 00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:07,985 I had a vision. Now I don't. 235 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:13,157 He's playing on my doubt. And yours. 236 00:33:17,261 --> 00:33:48,092 There wasn't, like, a-a tunnel or a light or anything. I remember seeing my coach yelling from the sidelines. And then I felt my face on the ground. And then I saw this hole opening up in the grass, a black hole. Just, like, this... big, swirling thing. And then I saw people coming out of it. A lot of people. 60 of them? 237 00:33:49,660 --> 00:34:18,523 And they were coming for me. And then I saw a woman take my hand. I didn't know who she was, but my parents said that there was another girl who died. Bernadette May. Right. She took my hand, and then I felt this on my cheek. (sniffles) And that's when I woke up. Do you think what happened to you is a miracle? 238 00:34:19,791 --> 00:34:29,667 Um, I don't know. Uh, all I know is that I was dead and now I'm not. And that everything has changed for me. 239 00:34:33,337 --> 00:34:49,786 BEN: I can't figure out how they faked this. We checked the pixels. There's no apparent manipulation, so either this is so good that we will never know how they did it... Who's "they?" "They," just figurative "they." You know, not-- O-Okay. Ju-- Or... 240 00:34:51,222 --> 00:34:53,658 ...one other option: ground-looping. And what's that? 241 00:34:53,658 --> 00:34:54,000 Okay. You see this, uh, And what's that? 242 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:00,164 Okay. You see this, uh, surveillance footage of Bernadette May an hour earlier? 243 00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:22,253 And this is our footage of Naomi. KRISTEN: Mm-hmm. These images were transmitted to the security station which recorded them. Now, ground-looping is when those two transmissions cross. KRISTEN: So you think the image of Bernadette somehow got superimposed... BEN: Over Naomi's image. BEN: That's right. Right. So, if that's true, the image of Bernadette's face should at some point appear on the monitor. BEN: Yep. KRISTEN: And does it? 244 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,558 BEN: Well, I've gone through through several hours of surveillance footage. Right now, have seen nothing yet, but... 245 00:35:35,366 --> 00:35:42,340 Okay, you know what? I'm gonna go back to the beginning. Wait. DAVID: The doctor just called the time of death. BEN: Yeah, so? 246 00:35:42,406 --> 00:35:47,445 I think I know what happened. It's not a miracle. 247 00:35:53,751 --> 00:36:05,530 So I'm glad you've agreed with us it's not a miracle. Yep. Turned out to be hyperinflation and undiagnosed COPD. Good. But it wasn't the, uh, paramedics' fault. Well, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that, but it's good we're on the same side. 248 00:36:06,964 --> 00:36:09,400 Uh, what are those? 249 00:36:09,467 --> 00:36:24,715 Emergency lifesaving efforts of this hospital over the last year. 176 in all. Okay. These are your Caucasian patients. Did you know that, on average, during a code, your doctors performed 58 minutes of chest compressions and rescue breathing on Caucasian patients? 250 00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:28,352 Patients like, uh, Bernadette May? 251 00:36:28,419 --> 00:36:41,499 No, I didn't. And these are your African-American patients. Your doctors, on average, performed chest compressions and rescue breathing for 23 minutes on them. Patients like, uh, Naomi Clark. 252 00:36:43,568 --> 00:37:01,886 It is the stated position of this hospital that it does not distinguish on the basis of race. Naomi Clark came back to life in the morgue because your ER staff called her time of death 30 minutes earlier than if she were white. That's why this wasn't a miracle. It was implicit racism. 253 00:37:05,923 --> 00:37:08,326 I think you should get out of here. 254 00:37:10,828 --> 00:37:21,439 Here, I'll leave these for you. The ethical review board already reviewed our actions. And the malpractice suit has already been settled. You might want to check on that. 255 00:37:22,607 --> 00:37:25,943 KRISTEN: You might want to look at that before you settle the Harbor Hospital suit. Why? What is it? 256 00:37:25,943 --> 00:37:31,449 Evidence for a civil rights lawsuit worth about $15 million. 257 00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:40,725 So, it was not a miracle? 258 00:37:40,791 --> 00:37:48,332 DAVID: No. A combination of gross incompetence and a medical condition that kept Ms. Clark's lungs from absorbing oxygen. 259 00:37:48,399 --> 00:38:03,047 KORECKI: Okay, good work. I have another possible possession for you... Actually, there's one other thing. A patient died an hour earlier, and this is an image of her on the hospital videotape. 260 00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:09,553 This has nothing to do with the miracle? 261 00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:14,458 No, it's just an apparition we can't explain. Okay. Well, then, let's let that go. 262 00:38:15,926 --> 00:38:22,366 Now, this possession we want you to look into, (fading): it's a good parishioner. She gives a lot to the Church... 263 00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:31,976 (growling) Mom, hey. (overlapping chatter) 264 00:38:34,645 --> 00:38:52,096 Okay, it's not working. I saw what you were watching. Mom, just let us watch the end, please. Come on. It's not that scary. It's more funny than scary. It's actually hilarious. We were laughing so... Okay, this is what I say. I'm gonna watch it with you. Yes. No, wait. Wait. But first, we are gonna all watch this together. What is it? 265 00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:58,769 Just watch. JOEL HARLOW (over video): Um, typically it takes, to make a monster, it takes about three hours. What is this? 266 00:38:58,769 --> 00:39:00,000 It's a video on how they do it. What is this? 267 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:37,608 It's a video on how they do it. There are a lot of elements to this character. There's a bodysuit, there's a cowl piece. There are two ear pieces. There's teeth, and then our horns... It's good for us to know it's not real. It's all make-believe. Well, my ideas come to me while I'm sleeping. They come to me in the form of nightmares. I translate that really quickly into a sketch or, like, a quick clay sculpture, only to be translated into a full-size character later. INTERVIEWER: Do you, uh, like playing monsters? (high-pitched): Monsters scare me when I see them on TV or film, but when I'm playing one, it's not that bad. It's fun to scare other people as the monster. 268 00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:59,897 Oh, my God. DAVID: ...as it is in heaven.
