EVIL #503 "Fear of the Unholy" Closed Captioned

2
00:00:25,458 --> 00:01:05,231
I have just one announcement. This will be the last mass celebrated in this church. The archdiocese is under great financial strain and has concluded it best to deconsecrate and sell this building. The occupants of this rectory will, unfortunately, be moved. It is not yet revealed to us where we'll be reassigned, but when it is, we will update the website. Thank you. We need to get him drunk. DAVID: Please stand for the blessing.

3
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:34,761
Wow... that was emotional. How odd, I felt closest to the two atheists in the building. Hey, agnostic here. So, last assessment, hmm?

4
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:36,429
How can we choose?

5
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:46,372
-I mean, one case out of hundreds. -(loud bang) Excuse me. Wow, they don't waste any time. So who's buying the place?

6
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,540
CongoRun.

7
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:51,478
-Fitting. -Wow.

8
00:01:56,883 --> 00:02:00,487
-What the hell? -Where'd it all go?

9
00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:02,489
-Sent back to the Vatican. -DAVID: Why?

10
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:19,172
We weren't done. I think we've met before. I'm Father Katagas from the Vatican. Although, if you recognize the accent, -I'm actually from Brooklyn. -Yes, 12 miles from here, I know. The Vatican has a case for you. One last one. -The Vatican closed us down. -Kristen, is it?

11
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:31,251
No, we didn't. The archdiocese did. This involves a professor that we've invited to join the Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze to consult on quantum analysis. Jesus Christ, you got Johan Taupin?

12
00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:37,824
Yes. He wants to consult with the Pontificia. -Who's that? -Are you kidding?

13
00:02:37,891 --> 00:02:41,561
He's like the top theoretical physicist in the world. Wait, is that the guy in the wheelchair?

14
00:02:41,628 --> 00:03:07,654
Okay, he taught at MIT, he's got two Nobel Prizes, but sure, yeah, he's "the guy in the wheelchair." Listen, if Taupin wants to help the Vatican, just say yes. And we want to. This is just a courtesy. Due diligence. There's a rumor that Professor Taupin was once involved in the dark arts, the occult. Oh, come on. This is prejudice. I mean, anybody who's interested in quantum theory is thought to be a wizard. Meet with him today and sign off by Friday.

15
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:12,892
Kind of an anticlimactic last case.

16
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:45,825
-What do you see in it? -Pure thought. It's like music. I mean, formulas at this level, they're just like... they're beautiful. -Do you understand it? -I think so. It's a theory of quantum inflation. DAVID: It's kind of dark in here. BEN: Yeah. Helps him think. Taupin hates fluorescents. So, do you know where they're gonna send you next?

17
00:03:45,892 --> 00:04:01,674
No. I rubbed some bishops the wrong way, so I'll probably end up in Alaska. This is making me sad. Yeah. You should be a kickboxer like your doppelgänger. -What? -Oh, uh, that website, uh, Find Your Doppel. I looked up your doubles.

18
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:15,989
-Mine, too? -Yeah. You're a, uh, hipster chick in Amsterdam. And you, a kickboxer from Lyon. -I'll send you the links. -Oh. And yours-- did you, did you look up yours?

19
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:39,946
You know, family man, Seattle. My wife's a doctor. I design websites. So you're out of work. (chuckles) No. -Do you think they look us up? -I don't know. Creepy thought. But you looking them up isn't. TAUPIN (over speech device): In the theory of eternal inflation, we would have to rewrite the laws of physics for each bubble universe. And as my editor knows, I hate rewrites.

20
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:45,752
Hello. -Hi. -May I help you?

21
00:04:45,818 --> 00:05:00,433
Yes. We have an appointment with Professor Taupin. Oh, the church people. Johan, this is your 11:00. I'm Professor Taupin's private secretary Neil. Ah, yes. You need to know on what days I worship Satan.

22
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:18,384
That is a joke. You'll find Johan has a wicked sense of humor. DAVID: Ah, nice to meet you, sir. Professor, I-I just want to say that your theories on event horizons rival Hawking. They are still something that I think about today.

23
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:36,869
Um, yes, um, the Vatican wanted us to clear a seat for you on the Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze. And there are rumors that you are involved in the occult?

24
00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:44,711
Well, I'm sure, to some laymen, quantum mechanics have the appearance of the occult. Do you know what might have caused these rumors?

25
00:05:44,777 --> 00:06:02,028
No idea. There can be misunderstanding of genius. It is, um, reported that the professor exhibited erratic behavior and that he was screaming that something evil was inside of him?

26
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:03,062
Reported by who?

27
00:06:03,129 --> 00:06:04,964
DAVID: It was anonymous.

28
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:06,933
TAUPIN: The Five.

29
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,468
BEN: The Five?

30
00:06:08,534 --> 00:06:10,069
What is The Five?

31
00:06:10,136 --> 00:06:18,010
Postgrad students who work with the professor on his wave particle duality theories. They have a... a quirky sense of humor.

32
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:22,782
Can we interview these postgrads?

33
00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:36,129
TAUPIN: What was your name?

34
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:40,733
Oh, um, Kristen. Dr. Bouchard. Medicine?

35
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,704
Psychology, yes. Ah, soft science.

36
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:56,182
I find the distinction between soft and hard science to be problematic. Let me guess, 32C.

37
00:06:58,851 --> 00:07:03,623
-Excuse me? -Ooh, yes, you are making this hard scientist so hard.

38
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:07,193
What the fuck?!

39
00:07:09,061 --> 00:07:17,837
Maybe you need to fuck the hell off, Professor. Ha, ha. It's hard for my voice generator to truly represent my laugh, but I'm laughing inside.

40
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:28,981
GEOFF: The professor is like the new Stephen Hawking. He built himself up from nothing. Stockton, California to Oslo. He's not interested in the occult, -he's interested in results. -Hey, are you guys The Five?

41
00:07:29,048 --> 00:07:32,752
-Yes, that's us. -Okay. So there's four of you. Where's the fifth?

42
00:07:35,721 --> 00:07:54,006
Sure, I called you guys. He's a lech. Ask him how many times he's been to Epstein's island. He just asked for my measurements. Yeah, that's what celebrity does to him. It's when his book took off and movie stars wanted to meet him. He became obsessed with Beyoncé. He asked everybody about her. He thinks his genius gives him immunity.

43
00:07:54,974 --> 00:08:10,156
Look, I believe. And if I were the Vatican, I wouldn't let him anywhere near their committee. This is mission creep. I mean, that's not what we were asked to look into. -He asked you your measurements? -Yeah. And he said he was hard for me. You sure he wasn't just joking?

44
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:20,900
'Cause his voice generator is so flat. What? Look, you don't just get away with everything just 'cause you're joking. All right? That's not some "get out of jail free" card. What did the woman say?

45
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:27,540
Beverly. She said he was a lech. So we give this to Father Brooklyn and let him decide.

46
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,510
I agree. With the recommendation the Church not take him?

47
00:08:32,712 --> 00:08:42,021
We'll let them decide. Oh, sure, yeah, let's just let the Church decide how much misogyny is too much. DAVID (sighs): What else can we do without seeing signs of the occult?

48
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:45,591
We give him a clean bill of health -with an asterisk. -KIRBY: Father.

49
00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:51,197
(sighs) If you'll excuse me, I have a church to deconsecrate.

50
00:08:53,933 --> 00:09:10,616
KIRBY: Lord God, in your great goodnes you once accepted your honor and glory in this building. Receive our praise for the blessings you bestowed on your people in this place. May we be conscious at all times of your unchanging love, through Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord. In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen.

51
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:28,334
Okay, so the movers will come tomorrow to pick up the art and the furniture. In the meantime, I've been tasked with collecting the relic.

52
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:33,205
Okay.

53
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:39,879
Where is it?

54
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:43,182
-Where is what? -The holy relic?

55
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:48,721
It's a fragment of St. Joseph's thigh bone, Father. No idea. Pastor?

56
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,656
Uh...

57
00:09:53,392 --> 00:09:56,862
Oh, well, it happens. Yeah.

58
00:09:58,864 --> 00:10:09,075
Okay, so, you'll be given your reassignments in the next few days. So please be packed and ready to go.

59
00:10:31,163 --> 00:10:33,632
-We have to find the relic. -IGNATIUS: Why?

60
00:10:33,699 --> 00:10:37,036
He doesn't seem to care. Because he doesn't believe.

61
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:44,844
We can't leave a relic in this deconsecrated church. Are you sure it's still here, Sister?

62
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:53,285
During the blackout of 1977, the Church hid valuables to protect them from looting. I'll search the archives...

63
00:10:55,421 --> 00:10:57,923
...to find out where.

64
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:02,728
It's a beautiful church. ANDREA: It was.

65
00:11:22,281 --> 00:11:24,016
Hello?

66
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:38,064
Hello. I am Giovanni De Vita. Guardia Palatina d'Onore. Yes, I've heard of you. How have you heard of me?

67
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:41,734
You're Vatican security. You arrested the pope's butler.

68
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:46,338
So, no more Friends of the Vatican for me?

69
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:48,774
Ha. Why do you say that?

70
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:59,785
Because you're not Father Dominic or Mr. LeConte. Father Dominic and Mr. LeConte are serving elsewhere. You are angry with the Church, are you not, Father?

71
00:11:59,852 --> 00:12:01,921
Angry with the Church?

72
00:12:01,987 --> 00:12:31,450
I don't understand the question. Recently there have been, over the past several weeks, events that have made you angry with the Church. I am often disappointed in the Church. It is an imperfect institution, as you should know. Let's talk about what you know. The Church has canceled -your beloved assessor program. -It's not my beloved program. It is the Church's, and it is quite effective. Also, the archdiocese has deconsecrated your parish.

73
00:12:33,486 --> 00:12:49,869
Good point. I guess I am angry with the Church. Hmm. That is to be forgiven. What is not to be forgiven is traitorous acts. I'm sorry, are you accusing me of being a traitor, Father?

74
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:51,036
Siamo pronti.

75
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:59,411
This is Monastic Father Augusta. Rome has mandated that you answer 31 questions before him.

76
00:13:04,383 --> 00:13:14,960
-DAVID: Why? -You were, and are, very important to us, Father Acosta. It is an honor to be tested. Why is it not feeling like an honor?

77
00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:26,372
The Vatican has asked everything of me, and I have not once flinched. "To whom much has been given, much will be asked." Please sit. -And if I leave? -You will be gone.

78
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:30,142
Meaning?

79
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:33,312
You will be gone.

80
00:13:35,281 --> 00:13:39,185
Gone from our sight. Gone from our love.

81
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:43,355
Gone from God's protection.

82
00:14:01,273 --> 00:14:06,512
Please place your hand around the top of the glass.

83
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:22,494
When was the last time you met with Mr. Leland Townsend?

84
00:14:22,561 --> 00:14:24,129
DAVID: Two months ago.

85
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,435
GIOVANNI: Are you certain?

86
00:14:29,501 --> 00:14:34,373
If you're asking whether I met him through remote viewing more recently, then you should ask that.

87
00:14:36,942 --> 00:14:41,981
When was the last time you met with Mr. Leland Townsend by remote viewing?

88
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:43,282
16 days ago.

89
00:14:52,258 --> 00:15:04,603
What do you know of the 60? If, by "the 60," you mean the 60 demonic families, then I know that they are the 60 demonic families found in the Poveglia Codex. Did you steal the Poveglia Codex?

90
00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:06,305
No.

91
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:22,588
I acquired a copy. -Why did you acquire a copy? -To make our work at thwarting the families easier. Did you give a copy to Mr. Leland Townsend?

92
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:24,590
No.

93
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:31,630
Did your fellow assessor Kristen Bouchard give a copy to Mr. Leland Townsend?

94
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:32,931
No.

95
00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:41,440
Would you lie for Kristen Bouchard?

96
00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:45,377
Would I lie? That is not a fair question. What is the context?

97
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:52,418
The context is simple. Vatican security is asking you if you would lie for Kristen Bouchard.

98
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:07,366
Yes.

99
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:25,284
Hello?

100
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:28,120
TAUPIN (over phone): Hello, Ben. How are you?

101
00:16:30,089 --> 00:16:32,024
Dr. Taupin?

102
00:16:32,091 --> 00:16:34,760
Yes, Ben. How are you?

103
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:37,730
Good. How are you?

104
00:16:37,796 --> 00:16:55,381
I'm doing well, Ben. I was wondering if you had a minute. Of course. Something is in here with me. I feel it. I can see it. Mr. Taupin, are you all right?

105
00:16:55,447 --> 00:17:00,219
I can see it. It's in my peripheral vision.

106
00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:07,192
Was wondering-- was wondering--

107
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:15,300
(low-pitched): It's inside me.

108
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:22,641
Hello? Professor?

109
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:26,345
Fuck you. You ignorant fuck.

110
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:18,924
-(thumps) -Oh!

111
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,534
Sister, what are you doing up?

112
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:12,911
The relic's in here. According to the archives. Can't this wait until morning? The faster you pick up a hammer and help me, the faster you can go back to bed.

113
00:20:26,425 --> 00:21:10,402
All right, Sister, get out of the way. Careful now. The reliquary's about this big. All right. All right. -(grunts softly) Oh. -Careful. I think I... I think I feel something in here. Okay, all right. It's very-- I almost have it. Good. -Oh. Ooh. -(chittering) Wait, my hand is-is stuck. -What? -My hand is stuck. -Ouch! Ouch! -Ooh! Something's got me. It's biting me! It's... Ow! -(grunts) -It looks like one of those New York rats got my hand. Oh. I'm gonna need a rabies shot. But look. At least I-I got the relic.

114
00:21:13,038 --> 00:21:14,940
Oh, no.

115
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:18,944
-I guess the rat got it. -(sighs)

116
00:22:47,733 --> 00:22:51,069
(singing along): ♪ I wish I had your happiness ♪

117
00:23:03,915 --> 00:23:05,817
Take your time.

118
00:23:07,085 --> 00:23:14,025
-It'll take a minute. -(ragged exhale) Did your, uh, billionaire friend get you this place?

119
00:23:14,092 --> 00:23:15,660
Nice.

120
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:18,163
Just nod.

121
00:23:20,098 --> 00:23:22,601
(hoarse): People are coming here.

122
00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:27,038
More of your, uh, Satan worshippers?

123
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,846
I saw your cute little painting. Intense.

124
00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:42,120
You shouldn't have looked. Uh-oh. Am I gonna burn up now?

125
00:23:45,123 --> 00:23:47,125
Time for some truth-telling, Leland.

126
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,928
Why'd you leave the Entity?

127
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:56,935
That's right. I heard you're one of us.

128
00:23:58,170 --> 00:23:59,805
So why'd you leave?

129
00:24:04,709 --> 00:24:06,912
I learned to remote view.

130
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:27,999
I learned to step into the worst of the worst. All in the name of this mother whore of a Church. I left because it seemed the Church was no better than the "monsters" I was stepping into. But you didn't just leave. You became the opposition.

131
00:24:32,704 --> 00:24:34,639
Might I sit up?

132
00:25:00,565 --> 00:25:05,170
I believe in the great unseeable truth. As do you.

133
00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:11,843
You're aware of what exists beyond the material world.

134
00:25:13,245 --> 00:25:18,950
It's the cross we both bear. You don't bear shit. You chose evil.

135
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:26,691
There is no evil, David. There's... free will.

136
00:25:27,893 --> 00:25:41,172
God gives us unbearable suffering, uncertainty, death. His only real gift is free will. I am free to do what I wish.

137
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:50,115
Why not stir up strife, discontent, misery, if it tickles me to do so?

138
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:53,852
David, you want truth-telling?

139
00:25:53,919 --> 00:26:02,027
Here it is. When we remote viewed into each other, we left seeds of ourselves behind.

140
00:26:04,129 --> 00:26:10,201
You now have some of my wickedness. (chuckling): I have some of your virtue.

141
00:26:11,202 --> 00:26:13,338
You have nothing of me.

142
00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:20,245
Think, David. Your handlers didn't want you peering into my mind. Why?

143
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:28,820
They didn't want you learning the same thing I did. That you have a choice. Free will.

144
00:26:30,388 --> 00:26:42,133
And now that you've taken yet another step along the path to free will by coming and talking to me... (panting) the Entity will find out. They always do.

145
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:50,208
Vatican lie detector test. Some asshole monk. That's what they did with me.

146
00:26:51,009 --> 00:26:54,846
But when that happens, you're marked.

147
00:26:56,214 --> 00:27:00,618
And if they can't trust you, they get rid of you.

148
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:25,744
Grazia a voi e pace da Dio nostro Padre e dal Signore Gesù Cristo.

149
00:27:31,716 --> 00:27:33,018
Did you see the painting?

150
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:35,253
-Yes. -And?

151
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:42,727
It's a picture of the apocalypse. Fires, freeways, a medusa face, Moses worshipping a burning bush.

152
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:47,832
Any clue as to where the 60 families are meeting?

153
00:27:47,899 --> 00:27:56,274
There wasn't enough time. And the images were all too random. My guess is there's nothing there. Huh. Anything else?

154
00:27:57,809 --> 00:28:02,680
I was able to convince Leland I shared his distrust of the Entity.

155
00:28:03,848 --> 00:28:12,957
We know the 60 are meeting soon. Gaining Leland's trust is our best chance for finding out when and where. Will you meet him again?

156
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:17,929
-Soon. -Mm. The guardia trusts your instincts.

157
00:28:18,930 --> 00:28:20,932
So, you trust me now?

158
00:28:20,999 --> 00:28:22,834
Of course, David.

159
00:28:24,069 --> 00:28:25,336
We always did.

160
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:35,413
So, when this is all over, will I be assigned again to Father Dominic or Mr. LeConte?

161
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:46,157
I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you, but... Mr. LeConte has died recently.

162
00:28:46,958 --> 00:28:49,894
I believe I heard it was a heart attack.

163
00:28:52,263 --> 00:28:53,965
And Father Dominic?

164
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,469
He is unavailable.

165
00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:59,471
You got rid of him, too?

166
00:28:59,537 --> 00:29:07,345
David... we battle killers. We are not killers.

167
00:29:49,921 --> 00:30:02,500
What works for me is hate. Sure, "love your neighbor" when you're not in the cage. But take one kick to the face, and you will hate. Turn on the volcano. Let the other guy find love in his heart. It'll make it easier to take him down, huh?

168
00:30:27,892 --> 00:30:32,263
-(crying) -♪ I'll give you my all ♪

169
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:40,838
Come on, what is wrong with you?

170
00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:43,141
-(scoffs) -(music stops)

171
00:30:47,212 --> 00:30:51,583
This is absurd. So, you're saying that you didn't call me up last night and ramble?

172
00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:54,152
And you didn't say those nasty things to me?

173
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:57,055
Absolutely not. What's going on here?

174
00:30:57,121 --> 00:31:10,368
Your colleagues seem to have caught the satanic panic fever. Taupin called Ben last night and said he was possessed. Said something was in him. Professor Taupin is a very busy man. -He doesn't-- -All right, here, let me stand in front of you. Then you can make eye contact.

175
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:13,438
I think you're all mistaken.

176
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:18,509
The Vatican council needs Professor Taupin more than he needs them.

177
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:26,884
That is true. We do want him on the council but not if he is dabbling in the occult. He's denying calling you?

178
00:31:26,951 --> 00:31:42,400
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And denying the sexual harassment. Well, that is not the issue. -Of course not. -Kristen. KATAGAS: This voice you heard, could someone be hacking into the professor's voice box? Those boxes are closed systems. They're not connected to Wi-Fi. But if someone were committed enough?

179
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,335
Possibly. But, I mean, why?

180
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:55,513
KATAGAS: We have opponents. Not just supernatural but political. Our council will look into possible ways to curb the climate crisis. Professor Taupin can help.

181
00:32:05,123 --> 00:32:08,059
Okay, I think it's time you tell me that "long story."

182
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:18,936
Later, all right? Right now, I need you to help me hack a voice box. And I need help figuring out what's wrong with my brother. Hey! Is this about your migraines?

183
00:32:19,003 --> 00:32:23,308
It is. And the tin foil does what exactly?

184
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:47,465
I don't know. But I haven't had a migraine since. Okay? Don't report me to the international board of scientists. Ben, you need to see a doctor for your condition. (scoffs) I don't have a condition. You were shot with gold ion from a freaking particle accelerator. There are doctors who can treat that. Really, they can treat particle accelerator accidents?

185
00:32:47,532 --> 00:32:54,138
No, gold ion. Some specialists use it for ALS treatments, and they're familiar with the side effects.

186
00:32:57,642 --> 00:33:00,144
-Oh, my God. -What?

187
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:02,980
Is the jinn back?

188
00:33:03,047 --> 00:33:07,118
No. But that is brilliant. -(line ringing) -KARIMA: What?

189
00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:08,486
DAVID (over phone): Hello?

190
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:16,461
BEN: David, hi. Uh, listen, tell Taupin to meet us at the rectory tomorrow. -Okay. -Tell him we need to apologize. Talk to you then.

191
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:20,531
So, you found the relic?

192
00:33:20,598 --> 00:33:23,668
We found the reliquary. Not the relic.

193
00:33:25,436 --> 00:33:29,374
That's not why you're here. What is it, David?

194
00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:33,378
I think part of Leland is in me.

195
00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:36,214
Fractured in me.

196
00:33:37,215 --> 00:33:49,594
Maybe it's always been there. If it is there, faith is the only cure. (scoffs) Sometimes... I get sick of faith. Wait a second, David. What difference does it make?

197
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:50,795
-No. Turn around. -Why?

198
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:52,463
Turn around.

199
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,737
I need you to lift up your shirt. -Why? -Stop asking why.

200
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,042
-You have something on your back. -What is it?

201
00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:06,344
Hold still.

202
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:11,649
-Sister. -(shushes)

203
00:34:23,661 --> 00:34:26,097
Got it. What was that?

204
00:34:26,164 --> 00:34:30,435
ANDREA: Sin. You need to go to confession more.

205
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:40,545
Actually, I need your help, Sister.

206
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:59,397
We wanted to ask you about your gold ion treatment, Professor. I thought you were here to apologize. Sure. Sorry. -(chuckles softly) -Um, we think that your treatments might explain your behavioral changes and memory lapses. TAUPIN: There have been no behavioral changes. What do you take for your ALS, sir?

207
00:34:59,464 --> 00:35:06,737
A catalytically active gold nanocrystal agent suspended in water. Try saying that five times fas. -Hmm. -You're drinking it?

208
00:35:06,804 --> 00:35:26,157
It is my golden latte. Which hopefully will slow the cellular damage implicated in ALS progression. Have you considered the potential for hallucinations by introducing heavy metals into your blood stream? I have considered it, and to that I say, sign me up. It's the closest I can get to tripping on drugs.

209
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:31,896
And so, did your ALS start before or after you visited Epstein's island?

210
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,197
Listen, is there a point here?

211
00:35:33,264 --> 00:35:34,565
Uh, Sister.

212
00:35:40,738 --> 00:35:41,839
No.

213
00:35:45,343 --> 00:35:47,345
Do we need to actually be here for your Latin lesson?

214
00:35:47,411 --> 00:35:48,846
Thank you, Sister.

215
00:35:56,988 --> 00:36:01,659
-(snarls) -My apologies. I tucked your label back in.

216
00:36:03,227 --> 00:36:04,562
Excuse me.

217
00:36:17,408 --> 00:36:19,510
I'll be right back.

218
00:36:20,811 --> 00:36:23,447
I have to make a phone call.

219
00:36:34,425 --> 00:36:37,962
I'll gut you, bitch. You might want to get that looked at first.

220
00:36:45,303 --> 00:36:50,508
Sister! First aid kit! Let him bleed. What's going on?

221
00:36:50,575 --> 00:36:53,578
BEN: Hurry up, he's bleeding!

222
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,748
Hurry!

223
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:03,254
We need an ambulance now. Okay, thank you.

224
00:37:57,642 --> 00:38:06,384
Well, my best guess is it's a head injury. We'll have a better understanding when we do the MRI. I'll have the nurse-- No. No MRI. WEINBERG: Who are you?

225
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:10,721
Professor Taupin's nurse. No MRI. Why?

226
00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:24,435
TAUPIN: Tell them. Four months ago, Professor Taupin elected to have a Cerebral-path implanted in his brain, a communication device. The magnets from the MRI machine could kill him. (whispers): What's a Cerebral-path?

227
00:38:24,502 --> 00:38:44,422
It's a microchip implanted into his brain. Like Musk, the university has been experimenting with it. Others, too. It's highly experimental. Due to the ALS, the professor has been having trouble using his voice box control. The Cerebral-path generates the voice instantaneously. It was implanted here.

228
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:52,363
Um, Doctor, it-it seems to me like implanting a foreign object into the brain could be what is causing this issue?

229
00:38:52,430 --> 00:39:00,404
An implant could certainly cause infection and inflammation. I recommend consulting with the surgeon who performed the operation and consider its immediate removal.

230
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:20,691
Do you think this is the reason for the erratic behavior? Could be. Musk's team implanted a similar device into monkeys and it was reported that some of them experienced chronic infection, even self-mutilation. It's insane to put something in your brain. Well, I mean, if he was having difficulty with the power to communicate, then what choice did he have?

231
00:39:20,758 --> 00:39:22,493
I don't know. Shutting up?

232
00:39:23,461 --> 00:39:29,066
Look, the Vatican is still going to want to hear from us. -Hmm. -Can you, uh... look into this implant?

233
00:39:29,133 --> 00:39:30,634
Yeah. Sure.

234
00:39:38,175 --> 00:39:39,410
-(thumps) -Ooh!

235
00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:51,021
Sister. Are you never gonna let me get a full night's--

236
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:55,626
What is that? Rats?

237
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:57,528
Demons.

238
00:39:58,562 --> 00:40:06,837
Sister, let it go. I'm gonna get fumigators in the morning. Help me move this. -It's midnight. -Help me.

239
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:13,844
There we are. Right there.

240
00:40:16,614 --> 00:40:19,583
What in the world did that?

241
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:24,722
What are you doing?!

242
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:27,158
You don't know what's in there!

243
00:40:30,127 --> 00:40:31,595
Good point.

244
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:39,503
Sit here, Father. Are you being kooky again?

245
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:45,609
There's a demon in that hole. I think he has our relic, and I need to use you as bait.

246
00:40:54,018 --> 00:40:56,787
-I'm not bait enough? -Shh.

247
00:40:58,756 --> 00:40:59,957
Those aren't for you.

248
00:41:16,073 --> 00:41:20,477
Do you really believe you see demons and devils?

249
00:41:21,745 --> 00:41:22,847
Yes.

250
00:41:23,981 --> 00:41:25,850
Have you ever seen God?

251
00:41:27,952 --> 00:41:29,253
No.

252
00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:39,029
Is there a chance... there is only evil, there is no good?

253
00:41:40,798 --> 00:41:46,904
-No. -Why? If you've never seen it, how do you know it's there?

254
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:55,079
I've seen the fear... in the face of the demons. It's not the fear of a five-foot nun.

255
00:41:58,682 --> 00:42:08,058
I've never seen God or demons. I don't know what I think. My parents wanted one of their sons to be a priest.

256
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:10,294
Here I am.

257
00:42:16,033 --> 00:42:18,636
I follow polls. Do you?

258
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:30,881
-Election polls? -No, polls about people not believing in God. I think it's from baseball, I-I loved baseball stats. I used to collect them.

259
00:42:32,116 --> 00:42:35,686
affiliation is nones.

260
00:42:36,887 --> 00:42:38,155
Nuns?

261
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:45,562
No, N-O-N-E-S. People who believe in nothing. That's a terrible name. (chuckling): Yes.

262
00:42:46,697 --> 00:42:53,804
Do you know that... churchgoing has fallen off almost 30%?

263
00:42:53,871 --> 00:43:01,946
That's why this parish is gone. Nobody was coming. Well, the "nones" weren't the ones molesting children.

264
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:08,052
I'm reaching the end of my life feeling like a fool.

265
00:43:09,053 --> 00:43:15,059
I can't talk to anybody about God without them looking at me like I'm a bit dim.

266
00:43:15,826 --> 00:43:18,896
Like I've been dropped on my head.

267
00:43:20,297 --> 00:43:32,643
Socrates and Augustine would've been raving nuts on the Internet these days. "Enter by the narrow gate. For wide is the gate that leads to destruction."

268
00:43:33,911 --> 00:43:36,814
But the wide gate looks more fun.

269
00:43:38,082 --> 00:43:41,085
The wider gate has no answer for death, Father.

270
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:53,397
People try to find comfort in thinking they become part of the universe when they die. A billion atoms amongst a trillion trillion more?

271
00:43:54,732 --> 00:44:00,004
God doesn't think of us as atoms. He thinks of us as who we are, not what we're made of.

272
00:44:01,105 --> 00:44:06,143
That's why we believe. That's why the narrow gate.

273
00:44:08,212 --> 00:44:10,314
I'm gonna miss you, Sister.

274
00:44:11,448 --> 00:44:13,317
I have very little confidence--

275
00:44:57,761 --> 00:45:01,031
Sister? What are you doing?

276
00:45:01,098 --> 00:45:03,033
What have you done with the relic?

277
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:08,439
Sister, please. Why don't you take a moment and calm down?

278
00:45:08,505 --> 00:45:12,876
Yeah, listen to him. Calm down, bitch. What'd I ever do to you?

279
00:45:12,943 --> 00:45:16,980
Give me the relic. Then I'll calm down. Suck my balls.

280
00:45:19,049 --> 00:45:26,924
60. I need a room for 60. -(knocking at door) -Listen, I'll Venmo you the deposit in the morning.

281
00:45:35,966 --> 00:45:38,102
Are you here to attack me again?

282
00:45:38,168 --> 00:45:39,303
Do I need to arm myself?

283
00:45:39,369 --> 00:45:40,737
DAVID: Just let me in.

284
00:45:50,247 --> 00:45:52,082
I would've just opened the door!

285
00:45:53,117 --> 00:45:56,220
-(David sighs) -(door closes) We need to talk.

286
00:45:57,421 --> 00:46:03,527
Are you having doubts, Father? You said the Entity was just as bad as the opposition. How do you know?

287
00:46:04,962 --> 00:46:06,330
Are your handlers disappearing?

288
00:46:08,065 --> 00:46:10,100
They are, aren't they?

289
00:46:10,167 --> 00:46:16,440
That can mean anything. Sure, it could, but it doesn't. How do you think the Church maintains its mysteries?

290
00:46:16,507 --> 00:46:18,909
Merely through excommunication?

291
00:46:22,479 --> 00:46:24,348
Have you met Giovanni De Vita yet?

292
00:46:28,619 --> 00:46:30,154
Why?

293
00:46:30,220 --> 00:46:34,958
You're going to need protection from them. And you offer that?

294
00:46:35,025 --> 00:46:36,360
Let's do some horse trading, shall we?

295
00:46:36,426 --> 00:46:38,195
What do you really want?

296
00:46:38,996 --> 00:46:56,346
I want Kristen safe from you, forever. Oh, David, how you misunderstand me. I love Kristen. Not as much as you. I just want to force her to curse God so that I can defile her. But if I leave Kristen alone, what do I get?

297
00:46:56,413 --> 00:46:58,248
I'll leave you alone.

298
00:46:59,449 --> 00:47:01,051
No, you'll leave the priesthood.

299
00:47:02,486 --> 00:47:10,127
Go back to photography. I liked your photos. Especially the war ones. Quit worrying about saving other people's souls. None of them care about yours.

300
00:47:11,161 --> 00:47:13,597
The Devil doesn't keep bargains. This one does.

301
00:47:28,111 --> 00:47:29,580
-(heavy door closes) -Have you got it?

302
00:47:32,216 --> 00:47:44,962
-Did he see you clone it? -No. Got a text, I put it next to his phone. -Hmm. -I checked. It's all there. All the names, the time, location, date. Very good. Very, very good.

303
00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:48,632
Ah, wait. We need to debrief.

304
00:47:52,002 --> 00:47:53,103
No.

305
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:58,609
I'm done. For good. You can find someone else.

306
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:01,178
I'm sorry, David.

307
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:10,887
Doesn't work that way. Your reassignment has come through. You've been reassigned to me... in Rome.

308
00:48:14,424 --> 00:48:18,528
Welcome... to Vatican security.

309
00:48:35,445 --> 00:48:38,315
What are you gonna do with that?

310
00:48:42,152 --> 00:48:44,921
Just doing a little cleaning.

311
00:48:48,992 --> 00:48:58,168
I don't know where the relic is. I don't, bitch. That's too bad. Oh, hold on. There's a spot right there.

312
00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:28,131
I don't fucking know! Don't swear. Or I'm gonna have to wash out your mouth. I'm sorry. You know, there's more than one demon here. It's not just me. Somebody else took it. I saw you coming out of another hole. In a basement in Astoria. Yeah, and you walled that up, you motherfuck... (stammering) ...you lady nun. What were you doing there in that basement?

313
00:49:29,166 --> 00:49:32,169
We have holes everywhere, lady. Just like you.

314
00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:37,040
Ow! I was joking. Why the basement?

315
00:49:37,107 --> 00:50:02,165
It's a good congregation spot. You know, the Antichrist slept there. (crying): No! Leave me alone. There isn't an Antichrist anymore. You tell your friends he's been baptized. That's a good idea. You're so smart. (chuckles) Let me go. First the relic. Look, I told you already-- No, not the Pledge. Anything but the Pledge.

316
00:50:03,567 --> 00:50:07,637
Oh, no, no, no, no, -no, no, no, no, no, no! -Where is it? Where's the relic?

317
00:50:07,704 --> 00:50:28,425
All right, all right, all right. All right! I'll tell you! I ate it. It's in my stomach. I don't believe you. It was the thigh bone of a saint. How could I not eat it? (chuckles) It's like a wishbone. You're gonna have to wait all night if you want to get it back. Dig it out of my shit with a bunch of dead rats.

318
00:50:31,161 --> 00:50:33,196
Maybe not all night.

319
00:50:35,098 --> 00:50:43,306
No, no, no. No, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No! No! (whimpering)

320
00:51:08,198 --> 00:51:09,533
Professor?

321
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:10,634
Sir?

322
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:12,736
Can't you see I'm working?

323
00:51:14,171 --> 00:51:23,713
Oh, it's you. I've been cranking through some new quantum formulas -about the last frontier. -Professor, you need to get that Cerebral-path out of your head. Why?

324
00:51:23,780 --> 00:51:48,572
I think it's why you're acting erratically. I think it's killing you. Of course it's killing me. Well, I've done some research. There are other ways to communicate. It's not about communication. It's about expanding human thought. It's like nitrogen fuel for the brain. Something programmers call demon mode. Pure focus. The mind in overdrive. Look at this.

325
00:51:55,412 --> 00:52:00,350
That's from a few hours. What does it matter if you're dead?

326
00:52:00,417 --> 00:52:20,871
When I'm dead, they take out the Cerebral-path and upload it into the cloud, and I live forever there. It's something you religious people don't understand. Technology has made heaven irrelevant. I'm-I'm not religious. Then all the more reason to live on in the cloud. Join me there, Ben.

327
00:52:38,622 --> 00:52:41,858
So you have no objections to his joining the Pontificia Accademia?

328
00:52:42,859 --> 00:52:44,294
Ben?

329
00:52:45,595 --> 00:52:49,733
Sure. I mean, he's a genius. And his voice box, it wasn't hacked?

330
00:52:49,799 --> 00:53:00,677
No. He has a Cerebral-path implanted into his head to help him to think. Yes, it is killing him. But it's scientific, it is not demonic. And he's an asshole, too.

331
00:53:01,945 --> 00:53:03,747
Okay.

332
00:53:04,714 --> 00:53:06,316
Thanks for your advice.

333
00:53:07,817 --> 00:53:14,658
Oh, and his Holy Father would like to thank you for your years of service.

334
00:53:15,659 --> 00:53:19,396
Olive oil from his own vineyards.

335
00:53:20,397 --> 00:53:21,831
God bless.

336
00:53:28,738 --> 00:53:31,908
Well, that was something.

337
00:53:32,909 --> 00:53:36,346
So have they, uh, reassigned you yet, Father?

338
00:53:39,416 --> 00:53:42,485
They have. BEN: Oh, where?

339
00:53:44,454 --> 00:53:45,488
Rome.

340
00:53:48,892 --> 00:53:50,627
When did you find that out?

341
00:53:50,694 --> 00:53:51,928
A few hours ago.

342
00:53:52,996 --> 00:53:56,967
BEN: Oh, my God. We're really breaking up.

343
00:53:58,501 --> 00:54:00,003
And you have no choice in this matter?

344
00:54:01,004 --> 00:54:04,441
None. When do you leave?

345
00:54:06,977 --> 00:54:10,380
Four days. Four days? That's...

346
00:54:11,748 --> 00:54:14,250
(chuckles) Why so quick?

347
00:54:15,051 --> 00:54:18,755
I don't know. This seems, um...

348
00:54:20,991 --> 00:54:22,492
...mean.

349
00:54:26,463 --> 00:54:27,797
Kristen.

350
00:54:31,668 --> 00:54:38,775
I'm sorry. Why? We're just working together. It's... it's totally fine. It's not a big deal.

351
00:55:16,046 --> 00:55:17,947
-(tapping keys) -(music volume lowers)

352
00:55:28,725 --> 00:55:30,760
Ik houd van jou.

353
00:55:51,448 --> 00:55:57,854
Oh, no, please, dinosaur, don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Oh, no!

354
00:55:59,422 --> 00:56:14,971
Now he's going to bite your li. Oh, is he? Okay. He's gonna bite my lip. Oh! Oh, no! Oh... -Now he's gonna-- -Gonna bite your lip! -No! -(laughs) -Now, now this lip. -Yeah. Oh. Ah. Oh, the dinosaur bit my li. -No, no, no. -What?

355
00:56:15,038 --> 00:56:16,906
-This time bite my lip. -Oh, bite your lip?

356
00:56:16,973 --> 00:56:19,409
-Yeah. -I bite your lip?

357
00:56:19,476 --> 00:56:21,144
CHILD: No, no, for real!

358
00:56:21,211 --> 00:56:23,413
FATHER: Oh, for real bite your lip?

359
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,681
For--

360
00:56:54,644 --> 00:56:56,746
Are you saying goodbye?

361
00:56:56,813 --> 00:56:57,981
Yes.

362
00:56:58,948 --> 00:57:00,483
You, too?

363
00:57:01,317 --> 00:57:03,920
I heard you're being reassigned to Rome?

364
00:57:05,054 --> 00:57:14,130
-I am. -Hmm. You? Well, no, I think I've made some enemies in the hierarchy. I'm being retired.

365
00:57:15,598 --> 00:57:17,066
I'm sorry.

366
00:57:18,201 --> 00:57:19,602
Where?

367
00:57:19,669 --> 00:57:20,970
A silent retreat.

368
00:57:22,539 --> 00:57:24,674
Upstate. Sacred Trinity?

369
00:57:24,741 --> 00:57:32,482
Yes. Oh. Yeah, we went there. I think you'll--

370
00:57:34,217 --> 00:57:41,524
Actually... maybe you won't like it. It's... hard on sisters.

371
00:57:44,527 --> 00:57:46,062
David?

372
00:57:47,764 --> 00:57:52,602
Don't let the Church pervert your talents. Is that possible?

373
00:57:52,669 --> 00:57:53,903
Yes.

374
00:57:54,671 --> 00:57:59,175
The Church is a human bureaucracy. God guides it, but he lets it fail.

375
00:58:02,612 --> 00:58:04,547
How am I gonna do this without you, Sister?

376
00:58:04,614 --> 00:58:05,915
I don't know.

377
00:58:06,716 --> 00:58:09,085
You haven't been to confession yet, have you?

378
00:58:09,152 --> 00:58:15,959
I'm going. Every single time, after you help the Entity, you go to confession. Please.

379
00:58:18,228 --> 00:58:20,697
How did you know I was helping them?

380
00:58:28,771 --> 00:58:29,973
Stand up.

381
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,148
Turn around.

382
00:58:46,956 --> 00:58:48,758
Do you carry that everywhere now?

383
00:58:48,825 --> 00:58:50,627
Yes.

384
00:58:51,895 --> 00:58:53,997
Lift up your shirt.

385
00:59:06,910 --> 00:59:12,215
I'm not gonna be there with you, David. So go to confession.

386
00:59:13,082 --> 00:59:16,586
Sin gets bigger and bigger with each infraction.

387
00:59:18,121 --> 00:59:20,156
Thank you, Sister.

388
00:59:31,034 --> 00:59:33,069
I'd better start packing.

389
00:59:37,106 --> 00:59:39,575
47 years.

390
00:59:58,094 --> 01:00:00,096
