1
00:00:13,079 --> 00:00:15,048
VICTOR: You're early.

2
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:22,021
DAVID: I would imagine you'd approve of that. I do. So what does the Entity want from me this time?

3
00:00:22,088 --> 00:00:23,623
Cyanide pills?

4
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:27,394
[chuckling]: Oh, David, I never tire of your teasing.

5
00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:32,564
This.

6
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:44,577
What is it, a time bomb?

7
00:00:44,644 --> 00:00:54,721
Yes, just wind it up. No, it's a toy. That's all. It's just a toy. We need you to slip it into a room and leave it. For surveillance?

8
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:56,623
Something like that.

9
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:17,710
-So, do I wait for a call? -No. You will be getting an invite to a dinner. When you're at that dinner, we need you to excuse yourself and go to the restroom. But instead, you will enter a room neighboring it, and you will put that toy in that room.

10
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:25,151
One of the other assessors you work with-- her name is Kristen Bouchard.

11
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:36,095
She has a daughter named Lexis. Kristen will be the one inviting you to a dinner, and you will be putting that toy in Lexis' room.

12
00:01:46,339 --> 00:02:11,231
You said yes to the Friends of the Vatican. I didn't agree to betray a friend. And betray a friend about her fucking daughter?! [shushing] [chuckles] My goodness, swearing. You were the one who discovered the demonic connection to RSM Fertility. In fact, you keep asking me about my progress in attacking it. This... is my progress.

13
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:45,598
Lexis Bouchard is a product of RSM Fertility. She is being groomed by demonic forces to replace one of the aging sigils of the Poveglia Codex. She needs to be observed, and eventually stopped. You're talking about an 11-year-old. The daughter of a friend. Those who are evil start as children, David. Hitler was a child. Mao, Stalin. They were loved, they had toys.

14
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:48,902
And they looked like Lexis.

15
00:02:51,704 --> 00:03:01,381
David... I will insist on one thing. Do not say anything about this conversation to Kristen or her daughter.

16
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:46,225
They're all pedophiles, every single one of them. You know, they take these kids and they peel off their skin so fast it's like they got zippers. -Hmm. -And the thing is no one cares about this; it's just me. Hmm. That is a really scary thing to imagine, Larry. LARRY: I'm not imagining it. This is all completely true. DR. PAUL [chuckles]: In order to pull something like this off, there would have to be millions of people -keeping it a secret, right? -LARRY: Evil people -do evil things. -What are we doing here?

17
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:55,902
LARRY: I can't explain how -they do it all. -Talking to him. LARRY: You're a liar. You're lying. You're lying to everyone and you're part of the problem, man. -[applause] -[Dr. Paul laughs]

18
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:05,478
Okay. Okay, thank you, thank you. Most of your conversations with loved ones will never escalate like that. Uh, thank you, Larry.

19
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:27,467
Deprogramming. It has gotten harder in the last half decade, mostly because religious cults have been joined by political ones. My guess is that most of you are here today because a family member has become absorbed in QAnon.

20
00:04:29,969 --> 00:05:08,641
Take care. Ah. Father Acosta. Very interesting talk, Doctor. -Oh, thanks. -This is Kristen and Ben. -Nice to meet you. -Hi. Pleasure. -You needed our help? -Yeah. Doesn't seem like you'd need anything with 500 successful interventions. Yes, business has been oddly busy lately, but... I've come across something that I can't understand. -What's that? -A young man, 24 years old, Owen Venegas... His parents sent me out on an intervention about a month ago. His girlfriend got him wrapped up in a cult upstate. The Yeshua People?

21
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:20,553
Um, it's new. It's caught on with some celebrities and New Age folks. They live in the woods, talk about Jesus on earth. Living and farming together. And?

22
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:49,482
Well, with deprogramming, you break down a subject's identity in order to build it up again, but with Owen... something happened. I don't think he's brainwashed anymore. I think he's possessed. I didn't know you believed in possession. I don't. But I believe the evidence of my eyes, and this one scares me.

23
00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:53,086
You want to meet him?

24
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:47,440
Don't get within two feet. You'll see a line we've drawn on the floor. [door unlocks]

25
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,905
Hi, Owen. I'm Father Acosta.

26
00:07:22,975 --> 00:07:25,111
Do you know why you're here, Owen?

27
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:29,015
Can you hear me?

28
00:07:29,081 --> 00:07:31,884
We've been asked to examine you.

29
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:41,227
Kristen.

30
00:07:53,906 --> 00:07:55,141
Did he do all this?

31
00:07:55,208 --> 00:08:00,880
Yes. Once it takes over, he really loses it. What takes over?

32
00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:15,161
Um, he-he seems dehydrated. We give him water every 20 minutes. -He's been here a month? -Yes. Okay, you need a doctor in here. -I am a doctor. -No, a medical doctor. I am a medical doctor. Do you want to see the diploma?

33
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:25,071
Doctor, he needs to be in a hospital. -You tied him to the bed? -Yes. -Why? -So that he doesn't hurt himself or us. Don't you do the same thing with an exorcism?

34
00:08:25,137 --> 00:08:28,608
Well, exorcisms don't last for a month. Some do. David?

35
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:35,181
Okay, you-you cannot just kidnap somebody and hold them.

36
00:08:36,782 --> 00:08:52,632
These are signatures from his parents granting us permission to hold him. And this is a court order granting his parents guardianship over Owen until he's returned to his right mind. The parents are in the hall if you want to talk to them. Potesne me audire?

37
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,001
Quis es?

38
00:08:56,669 --> 00:09:00,907
-Egerene es. -[growls] Quod nomen tibi est?

39
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:14,320
You've neglected your lessons, David. Altus, alta, altum. Alti, altae, alta. What do you want with Owen?

40
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:16,055
Why are you doing this?

41
00:09:16,122 --> 00:09:19,959
Come closer. Why?

42
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:22,828
Because I need to whisper it to you.

43
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:31,003
[whispers]: David. [mockingly]: Closer, David. Closer.

44
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:39,578
Okay. Now what do you want?

45
00:09:47,153 --> 00:10:06,605
-[flatulence] -[Owen laughing] Our golden retriever. That's what we used to call him. Just the happiest kid ever. JOEL: A real idealist. Wanted to join the Peace Corps. That was his plan. That's why, when he told us about the farm, we thought it was just another one of his volunteer things. How did he hear about the farm?

46
00:10:06,672 --> 00:10:07,673
JOEL: From his girlfriend Lilli.

47
00:10:09,976 --> 00:10:11,277
Where is Lilli?

48
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:14,914
Still with the Yeshua People on the farm. Does she know what's happening here?

49
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:21,721
No. She resisted our intervention. Your intervention being... Approved by the authorities in emergency cases like this.

50
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,223
Do you have a photo of Lilli?

51
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:29,962
Yes, I do. Has your son ever studied Latin, Mr. and Mrs. Venegas?

52
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:31,964
JOEL: Uh, no.

53
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:41,073
I'm gonna suggest that Father Luke, one of our exorcists, come later today to look at Owen, if I have your permission.

54
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:53,119
[train horn blares] -KRISTEN: Anything? -BEN: Well... not much of a web presence. Just some testimonials -from a soap opera star. -What is this?

55
00:10:53,185 --> 00:11:00,393
These are new margaritas. -They're, uh, colorful. -KRISTEN: Mm-hmm. They got Pop Rocks around the rim.

56
00:11:02,928 --> 00:11:16,809
Yep, those are Pop Rocks. Oh, here's something. So, "The People of Yeshua, a land with no locks." They're having sunrise services tomorrow morning, and the public is welcome. That's us, right? The public.

57
00:11:20,179 --> 00:11:22,815
Oh, God! Why?

58
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:25,084
Okay, what are you guys doing tonight?

59
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:30,156
I have a very busy life. Nothing. You're both invited to dinner.

60
00:11:31,290 --> 00:11:45,271
-BEN: What, now? -Yeah. I made salad, we've got tacos, the kids made some special dessert; it'll be fun. Plus, they're saying we don't have enough people over, so... -They just want to see Ben. -No, they want to see you, too. And they have this special game they want to play. Didn't you give up those girls for adoption?

61
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:50,409
KRISTEN: Oh, yeah, but they gave 'em right back. Come on, it'll be fun. We won't bite.

62
00:11:53,446 --> 00:12:00,119
[Sheryl makes ghostly moan] SHERYL: Dearly departed, we are gathered here tonight... KRISTEN: Okay, wait, wait, wait, so what does it mean if I have the queen of spades?

63
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:22,274
GIRLS: Mom! I'm joking, I'm joking. Whoever got the queen of spades -is the killer. -Okay. And the killer secretly winks at people to kill them. -They have to wink? -GIRLS: Yes. -Yeah, a wink. -Yes. But if they wink at you, don't say you're dead right away. Yeah. And if you catch the person winking, -then you win, -Yes. so look at your cards. -Okay, okay. -I'm dead. -Wait, what?! -We just started. Already? Who did that?

64
00:12:22,341 --> 00:12:27,947
Okay, let's concentrate. [all talking at once] -Look around. -The killer's among us.

65
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:37,123
What's this game called again?

66
00:12:37,189 --> 00:12:41,127
-Killer. -LEXIS:  The  killer. LYNN: No, it's not "the." -LEXIS: It's The Killer. -It's not The Killer.

67
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:54,807
I'm dead. No! Wait, what?! Who did that? I didn't see anything. Mom, don't cover your eyes, you scaredy cat. Who came up with this game?

68
00:12:54,874 --> 00:13:02,047
LYNN: Well, they taught us at school. Oh, well, great, Catholic schools! Getting ready for the next crusade. -I'm dead. -No! No, really?

69
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:03,349
-It happened so quickly. -KRISTEN: Who's doing this?

70
00:13:03,415 --> 00:13:08,420
I didn't notice a thing. That's the whole point, Mom. LYNN: Exactly.

71
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:21,534
I'm dead. No. Okay, let's just play a nice game of Candy Land. -Mom! -Mom! Stop it. You're ruining it. Oh, my God, I'm dead.

72
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:33,546
Okay, wait, wait, wait. So now there's just the two of you left. -So what happens? -Yeah, well, David or Lexis knows who it is, so they should say something before they get killed. LAURA: Who's it gonna be?

73
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:41,554
-[all making spooky sounds] -SHERYL: Wait, wait, wait, maybe neither one of them is it. -LYNN: It's a spirit. -LAURA: It is. KRISTEN: Father Acosta, I'd say something. BEN: Come on.

74
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:55,968
-I'm dead. -[laughter, cheering] BEN: Why didn't you accuse her?

75
00:13:56,035 --> 00:14:30,502
I didn't want to be rude. Oh, I am so proud of my daughter and her killing skills. I wonder which side she got it from. Clearly from my side. [chuckles] [pipes moaning] Wait, I thought that the plumbing was fixed. Yeah, I thought so, too. I had plumbers over today. They brought the wrong equipment. -What? -KRISTEN: Yeah. Took 'em 20 minutes to figure that out. They asked us to leave our room. LAURA: Yeah. -Why? -LYNN: I don't know. LAURA: I thought they were gonna steal stuff. [all talking at once] LAURA: Stop! Why are you always, like, mean to me?

76
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:31,604
May I use your restroom, please?

77
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:33,072
What?

78
00:14:33,138 --> 00:14:38,611
Fifty cents. [indistinct chatter at table]

79
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:09,228
-[Sr. Andrea grunts] -KURT: Thank you.

80
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:25,277
I wanted to thank you for not saying what you could've said at that trial, or whatever it was. -Ecclesiastic Review. -Right. You could have pointed out that I saw... whatever I saw, too, but you didn't.

81
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:37,189
I'm not sure why I... [sighs] Forget it. You intimidate me, so I often don't say exactly what I mean. What do you mean?

82
00:17:37,256 --> 00:17:47,599
I had an experience, and it's thrown my life off course. Have you read  Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man?

83
00:17:47,666 --> 00:18:25,137
No? There's an epiphany in it. A girl walking on the beach. And I-I realized... I've never had an epiphany in my life. Until that moment. -The demon. -Yes, exactly. I mean, I know it wasn't a positive epiphany, but it woke me up to what I need to do. -Get baptized? -No, write a book. A book about spirituality, about an agnostic who understands that there's another plane. Demons. Spirits. But I need your help, Sister. I need to understand what you understand. Mm-hmm.

84
00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:50,863
-Come with me. -Thank you, Sister. I-I feel like I'm nearing a breakthrough. I'm one of those people who doesn't know what they're thinking until they write it. Uh... Sister, I... I can always find literature like this everywhere. What-what I need is you. What I would tell you is exactly what is in this literature. You want to write a book about a spiritual journey, read this first.

85
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:01,406
Good to see you, Kurt. Dr. Townsend, what are you doing here?

86
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:20,492
Oh, packing up my things. I had a small office in the church. But I hear you're writing a book. Sounds exciting. I would like to offer my services, if you want, about the darker side of the spiritual experience. Uh...

118
00:26:19,077 --> 00:26:36,261
-You want an answer? -Yes, please. -Enlighten us. -Okay, uh, well, quantum entanglement is when two or more particles link up so that no matter how far apart they are, -their states remain linked. -Mm-hmm. So what if I told you that Yeshua and I are entangled?

119
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:52,143
Across 2,000 years and 6,000 miles, we are linked, so that no matter how far apart we are, our states remain linked. I would say that is not -how that works. -[both chuckle]

120
00:26:55,046 --> 00:27:00,752
Kneel down beside me. Uh, I'm not gonna kneel. Sit down, then.

121
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:08,159
[quietly]: So, this is a scam, right?

122
00:27:08,226 --> 00:27:13,932
Oh, ye of little faith. Um, put your hand in mine.

123
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,135
Why?

124
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:19,104
I want to compare hands.

125
00:27:24,109 --> 00:27:25,777
What, is this a cult thing?

126
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:30,315
Yeah. [chuckles] What are you looking for?

127
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:33,151
Entanglement.

128
00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:45,797
KRISTEN: Owen's been asking about you, Lilli. Where is Owen? Is he all right?

129
00:27:45,864 --> 00:27:51,169
Yes. Actually, that's why we're here. He needs your help. We need to take you to him.

130
00:27:52,203 --> 00:27:58,076
Carsie, I've got this. No problem, I can stay. No, no, I'll get you later.

131
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:03,982
LILLI: Where is he? Where's Owen?

132
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:09,154
A motel, Highway 85. We can take you there. We're going now.

133
00:28:11,489 --> 00:28:15,727
Who sent you, Owen or the other two?

134
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:18,930
The other... Who's that?

135
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:40,952
Two men in ski masks. They-they drove up in a van to the gates, jumped out and dragged Owen in. I chased after them, but they took off. Are they the ones who sent you? Lilli, those men you talk about, we don't work for them. We work for the Catholic Church. They took Owen to be deprogrammed. When Owen was deprogrammed, he became possessed. Possessed?

136
00:28:41,019 --> 00:28:45,423
What are you talking about? That sounds nuts. MAN: Lilli, you need help over there?

137
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:53,164
Lilli, here's my number. Call me and we'll come get you. I'll stay with you the whole time. Owen needs you.

138
00:28:57,001 --> 00:28:58,236
Let me think about it.

139
00:29:02,307 --> 00:29:18,223
I need to get this. Okay. I'll go collect Ben. Hello, sir. VICTOR: Is est a Deo habetur. Not the best time. You're 15 minutes out of town. I need you to return. I'll see you at your room in one hour. How do you know where I am?

140
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:31,436
David, you're a Friend of the Vatican. We always know where you are. I'm in the middle of something. I can't leave. You have five minutes to get in your car. -Listen... -No, David. If you want to intervene for your friend's daughter, you'd better come now.

141
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:34,472
I'm coming.

142
00:29:45,316 --> 00:30:12,911
KRISTEN: You go get him right now. -BRANDI: I cannot do that. -Okay, listen. Lis-- -That is what I am saying. -We have to go. -What's wrong? -I was explaining to your friend that Renee has asked Ben to stay for dinner; it's quite an honor. Yes, and I was telling her that she can go fuck herself. -DAVID: Who's Renee? -Yeshua's earthly vessel. She's a friend of Ben's. Ma'am, sir, please come with us. Yeshua needs a few hours with Ben. You are loved. Oh, my God. You get him right now, -or I'm calling the police. -Ma'am, you are loved. -[line ringing] -BEN: Hey, what's up?

143
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:17,148
Hey. Hey, Ben. Hey, where are you? I'm with the cult leader, like we said. Where are you?

144
00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:26,391
-We're being kicked out. -What? Why? They want you to have some private time with her. -Are you safe? -Yeah. We're just talking. Uh, are you kicking my friends out?

145
00:30:26,457 --> 00:30:38,536
No. Tell them to stay. We need more heathens to sacrifice. -What? -She-She's joking. We have to head off. We'll come back and get you. Call us if there are any issues. Gimme. Ben, are you really safe?

146
00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:42,340
I'm really okay. They're not sucking you in?

147
00:30:42,407 --> 00:30:59,057
Uh, hold on, let me ask. -Are you sucking me in? -[scoffs] That is a straight line I'm gonna let pass. Kristen, I am fine. I will see you tonight. -Okay. -[call ends] Oh, you didn't tell them about the sacrifice tonight, and how we have to drain you of your blood?

148
00:30:59,123 --> 00:31:01,626
Oh, I forgot.

149
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,898
Wait, what-- what's going on, David?

150
00:31:06,965 --> 00:31:08,466
What do you mean?

151
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:21,212
Ben is stuck at a frickin' cult, and we're rushing to some unknown meeting at your church. And it's not the first time for one of your mysterious phone calls. Kristen, I'm a priest. I don't control my own fate.

152
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:30,321
-I'll drop you at home. -No, I'm fine. We'll be driving by your house. I can pick you up afterwards. I'll come with you.

153
00:31:36,494 --> 00:31:40,632
KURT: You were talking about the darker side of the spiritual experience. What did you mean?

154
00:31:40,698 --> 00:31:45,303
Do you know how many English translations there are of Dante's  Inferno?

155
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:52,910
A hundred and thirty-four. Do you know how many there are of the  Paradiso?  12. You want to know why?

156
00:31:52,977 --> 00:32:03,054
I didn't even know that was true. Because angelic is boring. It'd be like watching industrial films about syphilis. No wonder you have writer's block. Here. I come bearing props.

157
00:32:09,127 --> 00:32:25,677
You light this candle, somewhere near the typewriter, and turn out the lights. Cut your hand with this knife, but only lightly. You need 12 drops of blood to fall on the paper. Now, do you mean laser printer paper?

158
00:32:25,743 --> 00:32:38,089
I-I work on a laptop. On the laptop screen. Then play this song and sing to it. Now, see, I-I don't have a turntable. Well, go get one. Who said writing was gonna be easy?

159
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:43,461
Now remember, candle, blood, sing, in that order.

160
00:32:45,596 --> 00:32:58,509
-And what will this do? -You saw a demon, Kurt. It scared you, but it made you hungry for more. This is the more. Candle, blood, sing. Do it.

161
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:08,478
SINGER: Come on, children, sing.

162
00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:20,391
DEMONIC VOICE: I said sing! [singing off-key]: ♪  Je te plumerai le tête  ♪ -♪  Et le nez  ♪ -♪  Et le nez  ♪

163
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:24,395
DEMONIC VOICE: Sing louder, please.

164
00:34:37,475 --> 00:34:39,510
SINGER: Now, children, it's time to write.

165
00:35:16,547 --> 00:35:19,317
Kristen, do you mind waiting here?

166
00:35:19,383 --> 00:35:22,687
Sure. Is there someone in your room?

167
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:24,622
I'll be right out.

168
00:35:32,763 --> 00:35:44,876
Tell me how to lock this door so no one can enter. These three gentlemen are from the  Corpo della Gendarmeria dello Stato della Città del Vaticano. They have the same question I do.

169
00:35:45,843 --> 00:36:09,634
You took something from the bedroom of a child of our concern. -You planted something? -Yes. We found another way to fulfill the service you would not. Every child is a potentiality. Nature versus nurture. -This child has a good mother. -This mother turned her back on the Church. She has committed evil acts. Stop. The Entity has committed evil acts. We are not the Entity, we are Friends of the Vatican. KRISTEN: David.

170
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:18,309
Kristen, give me a minute. -You brought her here? -You called me in the middle of an assessment. What did you think I was gonna do?

171
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:24,282
KRISTEN: David, I have to ask you something. Give me five minutes. Unfortunately, I have to ask you right now.

172
00:36:30,321 --> 00:36:32,890
-What's up? -David, what's going on?

173
00:36:35,459 --> 00:36:38,930
I need a minute. Who are you in there with?

174
00:36:39,964 --> 00:36:46,437
VICTOR: Excuse me. Kristen Bouchard, hello. Remember me?

175
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:54,812
Victor Leconte. Yes. The Entity. No, just a Vatican functionary. Come in.

176
00:36:58,416 --> 00:37:00,318
This looks serious in here.

177
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:18,603
We were just talking about RSM Fertility and the sigil map. -Really? -Yes. You and David and... -Ben? -Right. You have pushed us to dig deeper into it. We're just trying to figure out what to do.

178
00:37:21,339 --> 00:37:22,506
Any thoughts?

179
00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:29,413
Well, the only thing we can think is to keep track of these RSM children. Did you have a thought? Are you sure you want me to have a thought?

180
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:37,989
-Tell me what you mean. -I'm a woman. I'm a mother. I had an embryo implanted in me from RSM Fertility, and I'm pretty sure you know that and you think I'm biased in some way.

181
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,794
Kristen, your daughter is a child of God. Is that what David's been telling you?

182
00:37:43,861 --> 00:37:48,032
No. David has insisted on not helping us because that would mean betraying you.

183
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:58,676
And yet you opened the door for me. So what are you about?

184
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:06,550
I want to enlist the help of the mother. Your daughter, Lexis, is being groomed.

185
00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:09,754
Excuse me?

186
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:14,458
She's being influenced by others to carry on a demonic tradition.

187
00:38:21,532 --> 00:38:40,618
This is a map you'll recognize. This sigil here, that is the one your daughter is being groomed for. It is a key sigil. Many rely on it as a leader. It matters more to us than 20 of the others. -H-How is she being groomed? -You know how. You stopped Leland Townsend from having direct contact with her.

188
00:38:41,919 --> 00:38:50,995
So this isn't about my daughter. This is about Leland. VICTOR: I would agree. Then why aren't you doing something about him? Why was he working as a doctor for the Church?

189
00:38:51,062 --> 00:38:57,435
We needed to keep him close. Now we want you to work with us.

190
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:21,659
David has great faith in you. Well, I don't believe in the supernatural. Neither do I. Maybe that surprises you, but I think that God forces us to move on the earthly plane to bring in His kingdom. We want you to work with David and us to stop Leland. He is intent on putting your daughter on a demonic throne above the destroyed world. I'm sorry,  what?

191
00:39:21,726 --> 00:39:27,531
You must have wondered why Leland was targeting you. Why did he go after you at court from the very beginning?

192
00:39:27,598 --> 00:39:29,633
Why Orson LeRoux? Why Dwight Ferrell?

193
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:32,503
Why your delusions? Why your night terrors?

194
00:39:33,504 --> 00:39:41,679
Yes, we know everything. None of this is mysterious. It is human. This is not about you, this is about your daughter. What are you doing?

195
00:39:41,746 --> 00:39:45,483
I'm calling an Uber. -I'm going home. -Why?

196
00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:55,426
Because I have to hug my daughter. Wait. Stay. -Do you have kids? -VICTOR: No. Then shut the fuck up. I'm going to hug my daughter.

197
00:39:56,761 --> 00:39:58,629
Keep her in line.

198
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:13,511
She's a mother. You need to stay in line. No, I'll be right there. Just do what they say. We're coming right now. -Ben? -No, Lilli. She went to the motel. -Damn it. -Yeah.

Yes. That's why I'm asking. Hemingway asked. Fitzgerald. Joyce. Mailer. Pound. But you have to be prepared to do what they did.

223
00:43:52,429 --> 00:43:53,864

00:47:38,322 --> 00:47:55,072
No, I'm good. You're not good. You're guilty. No, I'm not. Look, I don't believe in all this. Okay? Sorry, I... I don't believe that you're channeling Jesus. I don't-- Hey. [stammers] I'll rephrase that. Your mother.

242
00:47:56,473 --> 00:47:58,008
Excuse me?

243
00:47:58,075 --> 00:48:04,881
RENEE: You blame yourself for your mother's death. No, I don't. Where-where-where you getting all that?

244
00:48:04,948 --> 00:48:13,657
Your sister. At the Science League, she told me. You broke your mother's heart. That's why you think you killed her.

245
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:19,229
You're guilty.

246
00:48:20,697 --> 00:48:48,325
-Guilt. -[followers murmuring] FOLLOWERS: Guilt. Guilt. -Guilt! -Okay, all right. -Okay, everybody... Shh! -Guilt! Hey, guys, guys, shh. Everybody, that's-that's not helping. I mean, even if I was feeling guilty, okay, I wouldn't crawl around on the floor like some kind of nut, hitting myself. Right? That-that doesn't do anything. -Guilty! -Okay, okay, stop. [all yelling at once]

247
00:48:51,695 --> 00:49:11,581
Stop, stop. I am facing up to it. Okay? That's what you have to do. Look, you didn't kill your mother. It happens. Childbirth mortality is always a danger. -[woman screams] -Hey, hey! -BEN: No! -[undulating cry]

248
00:49:13,250 --> 00:49:22,626
[speaking Aramaic] Okay, hey, Renee. Jesus. Hey, remember science?

249
00:49:22,693 --> 00:49:30,500
This is not science. Okay? This is some crazy cult shit. Come on.

250
00:49:47,751 --> 00:49:50,053
KRISTEN: [grunts] Through here.

251
00:50:01,465 --> 00:50:02,666
KRISTEN: Ben!

252
00:50:05,068 --> 00:50:07,637
-Ben? -[woman screaming]

253
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,007
KRISTEN: Oh, my God.

254
00:50:11,074 --> 00:50:12,542
DAVID: There.

255
00:50:14,277 --> 00:50:15,245
KRISTEN: Ben!

256
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:21,551
KRISTEN: Ben?

257
00:50:26,289 --> 00:50:30,127
-[gasps] -BEN: Hey, guys. How's it going?

258
00:50:30,193 --> 00:50:32,195
DAVID: What the hell?

259
00:50:32,262 --> 00:50:33,530
What did they do to you?

260
00:50:33,597 --> 00:50:35,399
Oh, this? Eh, it's not mine.

261
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:42,038
What happened? Uh, they killed a goat, and they poured his blood over me.

262
00:50:44,174 --> 00:50:45,308
Why?

263
00:50:45,375 --> 00:50:47,277
Religion.

264
00:51:00,290 --> 00:51:02,325
-[rain pouring] -[door creaks]

265
00:51:36,460 --> 00:51:39,162
-Mom? -[crying]: Yeah?

266
00:51:44,868 --> 00:51:47,204
You smell like blood.
