For I have sinned.

It's been six months since my last
confession.

These are my sins.

I hit my wife.

Why?

I was frustrated.

My job wasn't going well.

What should I do?

Do you promise not to repeat this
offense against God and your wife?

I do.

then please repeat the act of
contrition.

Okay.

How did Tom do? I think he should have
offered more.

You have a wife, Peter, and he's being
asked if he won't repeat the act.

What should the priest do, then?
Withhold absolution?

No, but he should suggest counseling at
the very least. What if the confessor

refuses to go to counseling?

Would you withhold absolution? Of course
not.

Why not? Because it's up to the
individual to change his behavior. But

behavior won't change unless you give
him the tools.

What is the purpose of confession?

Isn't penance one of those tools?

And prayer? But I would think counseling
is a third.

He did ask, what should I do? As long as
there is contrition and confession, the

priest's duty is to provide penance and
absolution on God's behalf.

Even if the husband continues to beat
the wife? The sacrament is not an act of

social justice.

Forgiveness comes from God, not you.

Not the city of New York.

That was getting tense.

I have a friendly disagreement.

Well, let him win. I won't be able to
keep this an assessor if you fail this

year. Am I failing?

You've been tardy. There's a reason for
that. You assured me you could do both,

assess and be a student. Has that
changed?

No. Good. Then this is an odd case.

A parishioner who thinks her husband is
possessed.

How is that? Possessed by an angel.

Thank you for seeing me.

I know this is really weird.

The assessors deal with weird all the
time, Ashley. Her husband, Raymond, is

to us. He's been attending Mass for...
Six months.

He loves St. Joseph's.

It's just... He's changed.

He's been hearing something.

What?

A voice.

He said it's the Archangel Michael, and
he's been giving Raymond instructions.

What instructions?

At first, it was just working at the
food kitchen, giving clothes to the

things like that.

But now, he told Raymond to leave his

job.

He wants him to give away everything so
we have nothing.

And I'm two months away.

I understand charity, but he wants to
sell our house and give the money to the

poor, and I don't know what to do.

We'll have to live out of our car.

You want us to prove there is no angel?
Well, not prove, but make clear he's not

hearing from one.

An angel doesn't want him to starve his
wife and baby.

Well, didn't Jesus say sell everything
and give it to the poor?

Jesus said it to a rich man.

Does it matter?

Jesus doesn't want them to starve, and
they will.

I need you to talk to him, David. New
converts tend to be overzealous, and you

should investigate whether there are any
psychological issues there.

All right. Oh, and I need you to make a
call.

To?

Leland Townsend.

Just say which one tastes the best.

Oh, I have to get this. Which one, Lee?

Oh, I don't care about that one.

Buttercream, it might not hold up in
summer weather.

Then why in the hell did you make
buttercream an option?

Go take your call, beast.

Hello,

David.

How are we?

Good, Leland. I want to get back to you
about your exorcism this Friday. Oh,

good. I'm so looking forward to it. I
hope you'll be there.

Actually, neither of us will.

We have to delay it a month.

Why? Our exorcist's father, Mara, is at
a conference at the Vatican. Then

there's a bit of a backlog when he gets
back.

This is happening, David. You can't stop
it. Why would I want to?

I can't wait to see you rolling around
on the floor.

I'll be sending you some spiritual
exercises to prepare yourself.

Don't thank me.

Lee?

What do you think about a groom's cape?

Yes!

Well, let me think, Trish.

Everything all right, love?

Yeah. Could we talk for a minute,
bugbear?

Of course, honey bunny.

Excuse us.

Are you okay, babe? It's just taking too
long. No, I'm good. I just have one

suggestion. What? The chocolate cake?

The wedding. We're done.

Okay. I can handle this. Go home. No,
no.

We're done.

We're not getting married.

I've been using you to get to your
daughter, to hurt her. Well, now she's

so I don't need you.

You should cry now. I think that'd be
appropriate.

Because I want you to know that I've
hated every second of this.

Every DJ we listened to, every place
setting, every invitation. Well, now

over. And I want you to take your dried
up little ovaries and drag them back

under the rock you came from.

Hello, Mr. Strand.

Mr. Strand.

I'm David.

This is Kristen and Ben.

Can we talk for a moment, Raymond?

Maybe you should come down from there.
You're going to break your neck on

Good point.

You know why we're here, Raymond?

Your wife is worried you're giving all
your money away.

Are you alright, Raymond?

Are you hearing something?

Not now, no.

He says that I'm the Lord's instrument,
that he can't leave until we complete

our work.

What work is that?

The second Bible.

It's not what we expected. It's not some
overzealous parishioner.

It's either a psychological breakdown or
a demonic obsession.

Why demonic and not angelic? He's being
haunted.

Angels don't haunt. Sure they do.

When?

Angels destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
They turned Lot's wife into a pillar of

salt for looking back.

They killed the Assyrian army. At God's
behest, in defense of the righteous. Are

you going somewhere with this? Angels
are not cherubs.

Angels terrify everyone in the Bible. I
thought you didn't believe it. Well, I

don't, but I remember my catechism.
Look, if he's hearing angels or a devil,

doesn't matter.

He's having a psychotic break. Well,
then I suggest you three complete a full

evaluation, and if this isn't
psychological, David, determine if this

angelic source or a demonic one.

Hey, are we okay?

We? I think we are.

Is there anything I can do? No, I'm
good.

I just worry for her, that's all.

And you have no idea why she's acting
this way?

She's probably just missing her husband.

I don't know.

I just have this feeling something's
wrong.

She's having an off day.

We all have off days.

Okay, I gotta call you back.

What'd you say, don't worry?

I say don't worry.

Are you the

archangel?

Get up.

You're hogging the floor.

Next time, fall over there on the bed.

You'll make my life easier.

How long have I been out?

Don't use pain.

You'll kill yourself and it won't get
you anywhere.

There was a sister that came through
here with a mop.

Which sister?

I don't know. I don't know names.

If it was Sister Andrea, she's down
there.

What do you want?

You said don't use pain to get anywhere.

What did you mean?

Are you saying don't use pain to talk to
God?

Is that what you were doing?

I was trying. You want to talk to God,
pray.

Billions of people do it every day.

What you were trying to do was force God
to talk to you.

I had a vision of the devil embracing a
friend.

But every time I try to return to that
vision, I can't hold it. Why do you

It's a friend struggling with some kind
of diabolical influence.

You have a phone?

Do I have a phone?

Yeah.

Unlock it.

This app, it's a metronome.

Use it. What are you... In what way?
Don't do anything tonight. You're too

up. Tomorrow, start the metronome. Focus
on it. Let it sync up with your heart.

And stop hurting yourself.

Pain is for Taurus.

You look nice. Thank you. You wanted to
talk?

I did.

I would love it if you could explain
exactly to me why you couldn't keep your

fucking mouth shut.

Excuse me?

You told Kristen about my hiding place.
I keep a little piece of red thread

there, so I'm warned if someone opens
it, it's been opened. What are you

about? Oh, I know you, Cheryl. You're a
walking ball of neediness. When you

crawl back to your daughter on your
hands and knees, don't even think about

breathing another word about what's gone
on between you and me, or I will come

for you, you bitch.

Shut up!

Pardon me, you little freak.

Don't you dare call me bitch.

I know where all your skeletons are
buried. Your hands are a lot dirtier

mine. And you have way more to lose than
I do, so don't you dare hurt me.

You don't know what you're dealing with.

Come on. I'm not some wilting wedding
planner.

Do you know how many demons I dated
before you?

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
It has been two months since my last

confession.

These are my sins.

Cocaine. I take it. I sell it.

My wife, too. But I'm bringing in 15 mil
every month. Can I get a real

confession? Please. How is that not a
real confession? It's the plot line to

Scarface.

Are we keeping you, Mr. Acosta?

I'm sorry, Father. It's Bishop Marks.

What happened?

He was driving home when he saw a car
that had turned over and was on fire.

Is he all right? Yeah, doctors are
looking at him now. He thinks the

Michael is working through him.

Hey, Anya.

Christian, hey, what are you doing here?

I'm working with the Strand family.

How is he?

Delirious, I guess. You never know, he
lifted a car today.

Got a family of four out, and the weird
thing is there's not a scrape on him.

Oh, don't worry, you guys, I got this.

Must be the adrenaline, right?

I guess. He claims he didn't feel the
flames at all. He leapt over a highway

divider, reached into a burning car,
then lifted it to save four strangers.

So, hey, um, Mira said you're, um,
working with a hot priest. That sounds

Mira.

Oh, and hey, maybe sometime you could
help me with that LaRue killing?

Uh, are you on that?

Yeah, Mira handed it off to me. She's
afraid she was too close.

Mira thought it was LaRue's wife, but
she has an alibi, and she was at a

group. Good alibi, huh?

Not bad.

And we're not sure that she would have
had enough time to get to LaRue and back

anyway.

Right.

And what do you need from me? Oh, just
background. It'll be painless, I

All right. Sure. Yeah.

I'll give you a call.

Please.

What does that mean?

Are you alright?

He left me.

He skidded to a halt and left me in the
middle of traffic.

He needed to save those strangers.

It's good, I guess, but shouldn't he
care about his family too?

So the Archangel told you to save them?
No.

He acted through me.

Raymond, yesterday you mentioned the
second bowl.

What is that?

You saw him, too.

I... What did I see?

Michael.

I heard your cop friend talking.

Are you in trouble?

My middle name is trouble.

What are you talking about?

What?

Hey, I'm not talking to you, love.
You're dumb.

Oh, Cheryl.

You are adorable.

Blood.

Is there any history of bipolar disorder
in your family?

Raymond, did you hear the question?

I did.

Do you have an answer?

I do.

No. How about seizures?

Any history?

Before the visits from the angel, had
you ever seen or heard anything that

others could not?

If you're asking Raymond, his answer is
no. So you're not Raymond anymore?

You're Michael?

What is that?

Mark behind your ear, what is that?

Nothing. No, it's right there.

A little square that hasn't been tanned.

In your day job, do you wear something
there?

Are you the angel that wrestled with
Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of

No.

Michael is a general of the Lord's army.

The second bowl.

Is it a plague? In time, I will blow the
final trumpet.

The signal for all the bowls to be
poured out so the face of God will be

revealed.

And if there are ten righteous people in
this world... Your question is

irrelevant. God didn't think so.

Abraham asked God.

He said he would not destroy Sodom if
there were ten righteous.

And there were not.

You guys see that little patch mark
behind his ear?

Yeah. So Raymond works as a crane
operator on skyscrapers.

And sometimes the workers use
scopolamine patches to overcome vertigo.

patches prevent nausea, but they're
supposed to be removed every three days.

if they're not?

Then you could wind up with an
accidental scopolamine overdose.

Now, it doesn't kill you, but can lead
to memory loss and hallucinations.

Is there any way we can find out? Sure.
If he's not heading into work, then the

toxicity of the patch will leave his
body in a few days.

Wait, you startled me. I thought you'd
be in your office. Oh, I'm just getting

some work done in here.

Do you want to come in? No, no, no,
that's all right. I just had a few

questions.

What's up?

Raymond Strand.

When you spoke to him yesterday, did
he...

Say anything more about the accident or
saving the family?

Like? We talked to a few more
eyewitnesses, reviewed the street cam

there was something weird.

What? After he rescued the first three
people in the car, the husband, the

and the 10 -year -old daughter, there
was one person left, the wife's brother.

According to the video, Raymond just
stood there holding the car up, and he

didn't do anything.

Who didn't do anything?

Raymond. He just stood there and watched
this guy burn.

But he saved him. After a minute, this
guy was screaming. His flesh was on

and Raymond let him burn for a full
minute.

Then he saved him.

Wow.

She's sure? There's surveillance video.
Could the fire have been keeping Raymond

back? Not according to the video. He was
holding the car up, letting the guy

burn. I'm just saying, this could be
more than delusions.

His psychosis could be dangerous.

What an incredible feat yesterday,
saving that family.

Why'd you let the guy burn in the car?

What guy?

The one you saved last.

Kevin Blackstone, the uncle.

He survived.

Yeah, but barely.

I did what was required.

Could you explain?

He had an affliction of the spirit which
offended God. I was called to remove

it.

So, God told you to let him burn? God
allowed him to experience a moment of

torment of hellfire so that he might
renounce his sins and save his soul.

What were his sins?

He was often trusted with watching his
young niece.

He violated her.

I received my instructions from the Most
High.

The offender did not perish, nor will
he.

And with his injuries, he will be unable
to commit any such depravity with her

again.

That's God's will.

So, what do we do?

It's dangerous.

David?

St. Augustine advocated for just war.

That there are instances when war may be
necessary and right. In a situation

where violence can stop a dire wrong,
choosing peacefulness could be

a sin. Are you defending what he did?
No. I'm just saying God's logic isn't

ours.

And that little girl was being molested.
We don't know that.

All we have is his word. And if we did
know that, what would you do? I wouldn't

burn him.

I would turn him over to the cops. Do
you think there can be a just war?

I do.

Because of St. Thomas Aquinas?

And Hitler.

I think there's evil in the world and it
should be confronted.

You think there could be just murder?

You said violence is justified if it
confronts evil and stops a

grave or wrong.

If someone's threatening to kill you or
your family, is it right to

stop them?

As long as it's proportional.

Is killing proportional?

Only if it's the only way to stop a
killer.

Anything beyond that is murder.

Why?

Come in.

There's an Ashley Strand here for you.
OK. Be right there. No, not you.

You.

Mrs. Strand.

Are you all right? No.

No, I'm not.

I can't handle this anymore.

Raymond or Michael or whoever the hell
he is.

I'm thinking about leaving.

But I don't know how he's going to
react.

Did something happen?

I mean, something else?

He's insisting that we live biblically.

But that mostly affects me.

He doesn't want me to go back to work.
And we need the money.

He threw away all my makeup and some of
my clothes. And he just keeps issuing

all these orders and expecting me to
obey. Because, word of God,

I'm not staying in a marriage where I
have no say.

But if I leave, I'm worried it'll push
him over the edge.

Okay.

I'll get you the number of a women's
center for new moms.

They can help you while you figure
things out.

Where did you get that blood you used on
my wall?

It tasted like yours.

I've missed that.

What do you want?

Can I come in?

Cheryl. I was wrong. It was the wedding.
It was making me crazy.

I want you back.

No.

The other day, you were reminded of
exactly how much I've got on you, and

you want to neutralize me.

Nope. Not happening.

Raymond is suffering from psychosis. He
was on a medication for vertigo, which

can cause visual and auditory
hallucinations. Most likely combined

depression and anxiety. The personality
changes we saw are certainly in line

with those of a psychotic break.

And I will say his wife approached me
about leaving him.

David, do you want to chime in?

Well... I'd advise against an exorcism.
Because you don't think it's a demon?

I'm not entirely sure.

It could be an angelic figure.

But it's not a theology that I
understand.

I do worry that a separation from his
wife could cause him some distress.

All right. I'd like to meet Raymond
myself.

Meanwhile, David, can we talk with you
for a second?

David, Father John and I have been
discussing you.

The felons and felons. I appreciate that
your extracurricular activities for the

church are essential and that you're
learning through the practical

of your faith.

But the theological and the practical
are not contradictory, and you must

the former to excel at the latter.
That's why I've asked Father K to allow

to pass the class with a practicum.

What is that? A parishioner has asked
that you hear his confession.

We've explained that until you're
ordained, this confession will not come

reconciliation. But he believes he has
wronged you.

Leland Townsend.

Yes.

The door is open.

Yeah, that's not creepy at all.

Hello?

Hello?

Ashley?

Raymond?

Michael? Ashley?

We're here to check on you.

Raymond, are you all right?

Where's Ashley?

Did she leave?

Ashley?

Hello?

Where is she, Raymond?

Michael, where is she?

What's that?

She turned back.

Ashley turned back instead of trusting
in the Lord.

Like Lot's wife.

What's wrong?

Do I have food in my teeth?

Who are you?

Leland Townsend. Nice to meet you.

Do you smell?

Well, that is impolite.

Sorry.

I'm not used to having my hygiene
questioned.

Sister.

Ah, David, there you are.

Let's get started.

I can take care of this. I think I
should stay.

No, this is a confession, sister.

Don't you know?

Nuns are irrelevant here. Go off and
pray.

Go.

Go.

Fly away home.

I'm fine.

Well, here we are.

Two students of Christ.

This is going to be fun, don't you
think?

Don't the confessor and the priest sit
side by side in the booth? We don't have

the booth for cover. Better we not see
each other.

You have to start.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
Believe it or not, I have come prepared.

Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for
having offended thee. And I

detest all my sins because I dread the
loss of heaven and fear the pains of

hell.

How was that?

Continue.

Should I go chronologically?

Do whatever you want. Well, it's my
first time. I think I'll go whole hog.

not?

Let's see. My earliest memories of sin.

When I was five, I stole a classmate's
lunch. He cried. I said nothing.

When I was nine, I cheated on a spelling
quiz.

When I was 12, I masturbated for the
first time. Are you truly sorry for

sins? Wait, wait. I want to talk about
masturbation more.

Oh, but I guess that's something you
priests can't do, right?

Are these your sins?

Not all.

There is one that weighs upon my heart
the most. This is the one I really hope

God can forgive me for.

I met a woman a few years ago. She was
gorgeous.

Had a real body on her. And I was
instantly smitten.

But she was already seeing someone else.

Someone who was of the black.

Persuasion. So I admired her from afar.

I think that's lust and envy.

Ha! A twofer.

Then I found a way to insinuate myself
into her life.

I don't think she ever realized this,
but I knew where she worked.

I would stand across the street every
day to get a glimpse of her.

I still think of her often.

I once...

looked up the meaning of her name.

Julia.

It means soft -haired, youthful, and she
was all of that.

Then a time came when I was standing
across the street, waiting to see her,

she didn't appear.

This went on for a couple of months, and
I thought, maybe she's moved.

But then I found out.

She'd gotten sick.

Very sick.

The last time I saw Julia, she was in a
bad way, frail, the mere shell

of her former self, really.

And she needed care around the clock.

She was so worried that she had become a
burden to those around her, the people

that cared for her, the people she
loved. And I looked into her beautiful

and I assured her that she absolutely
was a burden.

and that the best thing to do would be
to free the ones she loved of her

presence.

Well, she took my advice, and then she
was gone.

Wow, that is powerful.

I feel so much better, so free.

Who knew?

What's next, David?

David, my pennant.

Are you contrite?

Contrite as the day is long.

Then this is your penance.

Five Hail Marys.

And two Our Fathers.

What?

That's it?

Yes. God forgives you.

Okay.

I'll help you.
