You're early.

I would imagine you'd approve of that.

I do.

So what does the entity want from me this time?

Cyanide pills?

Oh, David, I never tire of your teasing.

What is it?

A time bomb?

Yes. Just wind it up. No, it's a toy.

That's all. It's just a toy.

We need you to flip it into a room and leave it.

For surveillance?

Something like that.

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

that room.

One of the other assessors you work with, her name is Kristen Bouchard.

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.

You said yes to the Friends of the Valley. I didn't agree to betray a

I betrayed a friend about her fucking daughter. Shh, shh, shh.

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.

Lexus Bouchard is a product of RSM fertility.

She is being groomed by demonic forces to replace one of the aging sigils of

Pavilion 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.

Now...

Stalin. They were loved.

They had toys.

And they looked like Lexis.

David, I will insist on one thing.

Do not say anything about this conversation to Kristen or her daughter.

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.

And the thing is, no one cares about this. It's just me.

That is a really scary thing to imagine, Larry.

I'm not imagining it. This is all completely true.

In order to pull something like this off, there would have to be millions of

people keeping it a secret, right? Evil people do evil things.

Talking to him. You're a liar.

You're lying.

You're lying to everyone and you're part of the problem, man.

Okay.

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

Most of your conversations with loved ones will never escalate like that.

Thank you, Larry.

De -programming.

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.

Take care. Oh, Father Acosta.

Very interesting talk, Doctor. Thanks.

This is Kristen in bed.

Pleasure.

You needed our help? Doesn't seem like you 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

him wrapped up in a cult upstate. The Yeshua people?

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? 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.

You want to meet him?

Don't get within two feet.

You'll see a line we've drawn on the floor.

Hi, Owen.

I'm Father Costa.

Do you know why you're here, Owen?

Can you hear me?

We've been asked to examine you.

You need to do all this?

Yes. Once it takes over, he really loses it.

What takes over?

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?

Doctor, he needs to be in a hospital.

You tell him to do the best. Yes.

Why? So that he doesn't hurt himself or us.

Don't you do the same thing with an exorcism? Well, exorcisms don't last for

month. Some do.

David?

You cannot just kidnap somebody and hold them.

These are signatures from his parents granting us permission to hold them. And

this is a court order granting his parents guardianship over Owen until

returned to his right mind.

The parents are in the hall if you want to talk to them.

What do you want with Owen?

Why are you doing this?

Come closer.

Why?

Because I need to whisper it to you.

David.

Closer, David.

Closer.

Okay.

Now what do you want?

Our golden retriever.

That's what we used to call him.

Just the happiest kid ever. 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?

From his girlfriend, Lily.

Where is Lily?

Still with the Yeshua people on the farm. Does she know what's happening

No, she resists at our intervention.

Your intervention being?

Approved by the authorities in emergency cases like this.

Do you have a photo of Lily? Yes, I do.

Has your son ever studied Latin, Mr. and Mrs. Venegas?

No.

I'm going to suggest that Father Luke, one of our exorcists, come later today

look at Owen, if I have your permission.

Not much of a web present, but some testimonials from a soap opera star.

What is this?

These are new margaritas. They're colorful.

Mm -hmm. They got pop rocks around the rim.

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? Public.

Oh, God.

Why? Okay, what are you guys doing tonight?

I have a very busy life.

Nothing. You're both invited to dinner.

What, now?

Yeah, I made salad, we've got tacos, the kids made some special dessert. It'll

be fun. Plus, they think 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

want to play.

Didn't you give up those goals for adoption?

Oh, yeah, but they gave them right back.

Come on.

It'll be fun.

We won't bite.

Ooh,

dearly departed, we are gathered here tonight.

Okay, wait, wait, wait. So what does it mean if I have the queen of spades? Mom!

I'm joking, I'm joking.

Okay, whoever got the queen of spades is the killer. Okay. And the killer

secretly winks at people to kill them.

They have to wink?

Yeah. 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.

So we'll say you're hurt.

Okay, okay.

I'm dead.

Wait, what? We just started.

Already? Who did that? Okay, let's concentrate. How did the game work?

It's a no, and the killer's on the left.

What's this game called again?

Killer. The killer.

No, it's not the killer. It's the killer.

It's not the killer.

What? Who did that?

I didn't see anything.

Mom, don't cover your eyes, you scaredy cat. Who came up with this game? Well,

they taught us at school.

Oh, well, great. Catholic schools. Getting ready for the next crusade.

I'm dead.

No. No, really?

Who's doing this? I didn't notice a thing.

The whole point, Mom.

Exactly.

I'm dead. No, okay. Let's just play a nice game of Candy Land. Mom!

Oh my God, I'm dead.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. So now there's just the two of you left. Yeah.

What happened? Yeah, well, David Alexis knows who it is, so they should say

something before they get killed.

Who's it gonna be?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Maybe neither one of them is it.

You're right.

Father Costa, say something.

Come on.

Oh, I am so proud of my daughter and her killing skills.

I wonder which side she got it from. Clearly from my side.

Wait,

I thought that the plumbing was fixed.

Yeah, I thought so too. I have plumbers over today.

They brought the wrong equipment.

What? Yeah, took them 20 minutes to figure that out. They asked us to leave

room. Yeah.

Why? I don't know. I thought they were going to steal stuff.

I don't think they would. Stop.

Why do you always, like, mean to me? May I use the restroom, please?

50 cents.

Thank you.

I wanted to thank you for not saying what you could have said at that trial

whatever it was.

Ecclesiastic review.

Right. You could have pointed out that I saw whatever I saw, too.

But you didn't.

I'm not sure why I didn't.

Forget it.

You intimidate me, so I often don't say exactly what I mean.

What do you mean?

I had an experience.

And it's thrown my life off course.

Have you read Portrait of the Artist as a young man?

No?

There's an epiphany in it. A girl walking on the beach. And I realized

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

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.

Come with me.

Thank you, sister.

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.

Sister, I can always find literature like this everywhere. What I need is

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.

Good to see you, Kurt.

Dr. Townsend, what are you doing here?

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.

Well, I don't see Lily.

How can you tell? They all look like Lily.

I thought the Catholic church was white.

And breathe in.

Then out.

Intake the spirit.

Exhale the detritus.

Stay close to Yeshua.

exorcism.

Thanks for dinner last night.

You should come more often.

Girls have fun.

How are the girls?

They're good.

Fighting over who should get the new bedroom.

Any worries about... About?

The RSM fertility issue.

Are you asking me about Alexis?

Yeah, I'm just checking in.

She seems adorable.

She is adorable.

Kind and considerate. I guess I never spent so much time with her. Look, she's

good girl.

You know better than anyone, our fates aren't predetermined.

I don't care what happened at ours in fertility.

She's the product of a loving family.

You two are the most beautiful people I've ever seen.

Thank you. I'm Carsey.

Hi, Carsey. I'm... Oh, hello.

This is David.

Hey.

Yeah, we're looking for someone who lives here. Maybe you can help us out.

Someone named Lily.

Oh, Lily.

I love Lily.

I think she's by the barn.

Let's go.

Come on.

You too.

Ben.

Hi. I know you, right? You do.

Maybe if I wore the goggles.

Oh, my God.

Secret Science League. Yeah, I blew up the toaster. Yeah, you took first place.

That was amazing.

Rachel. Renee, and you took second place. We agreed on a rematch. No, you

to a rematch. I told you to get some more experience first.

Oh, I thought you were flirting.

Oh, my God. Why is it that when women point out male inadequacy, men think

they're flirting?

Okay. Hey, I'm about to be rude.

Thanks for the morning. Yeah.

What the fuck are you doing here?

I mean, you're not a nut.

Thank you.

This is crazy here. I mean, you gave that great speech on black holes.

What are you doing here with this bullshit?

Well, I like bullshit.

I like science and I like this.

Hmm.

Well, what does she do? I heard she channels Jesus.

No. She has a strong faith and meditates 12 hours a day, but she doesn't channel

Jesus. What are you doing here?

Getting close to her.

Someone got very sick after listening to her.

Who? Owen Venegas.

Oh, yeah, I know him.

What happened?

Some disagreement about that, but maybe you can help me. Can you introduce me to

her? Sure. It is now time for Yeshua.

Please.

You just flirted with Jesus.

Good morning.

We all thank God for another fine day.

Thank you for another fine day.

And we also thank God for black holes.

Thank you for black holes.

Yeshua wants us to know that reality is never just one thing.

It is both love and science.

Hug the person next to you right now.

So there is a movie with a criminal who had hate tattooed on one hand and

love on the other.

And he brought them together and they struggled.

Those tattoos today would say God and science.

They struggle.

They fight. They try to subdue one another.

But I think I can ask a friend here, a good friend, Ben.

Yeah, I know I'm embarrassing you, Ben.

I think you can help us.

What is quantum

entanglement?

You want an answer?

Yes, please.

Enlighten us.

Okay. Well, quantum entanglement is when two or more particles link up so that

no matter how far apart they are, their states remain linked.

So what if I told you that Yeshua and I are entangled 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.

Kneel down.

I'm not going to kneel.

Sit down.

This is a scam, right?

Blow ye of little faith.

Put your hand in mine.

Why? I want to compare him.

What, is this a cult thing?

Yeah.

What are you looking for?

Entanglement.

Owen's been asking about you, Lily.

Where is it? Owen, is he all right?

Yes. Actually, that's why we're here.

He needs your help.

We need to take you to him.

Carsey, I've got this.

No problem. I can stay. No, no. I'll get you later.

Where is he? Where's Owen?

A motel.

Highway 85.

We can take you there.

We're going now.

Who sent you?

Owen or the other two?

The other... Who's that?

Two men in ski masks.

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? Lily, 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? What are you talking about? That sounds nuts. Lily!

Need help over there?

Lily, here's my number.

Call me and we'll come get you. I'll stay with you the whole time.

Owen needs you.

Let me think about it.

I need to get this.

Okay, I'll go collect this.

Hello, sir.

Not the best time.

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?

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,

better come now.

I'm coming.

You go get him right now. I cannot do that. Okay, listen is what I'm saying.

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

herself. 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.

Hey, what's up? Hey, Ben, where are you?

We're being kicked out.

What? Why?

I think we should have some private time with her.

Are you safe?

Yeah, we're just talking.

Are you kicking my friends out?

No, tell them to stay. We need more heathens to sacrifice.

What? She's joking.

We have to head off.

We'll come back and get you. Call us if there are any issues.

Ben,

are you really safe?

I'm really okay.

They're not sucking you in?

Hold on, let me ask.

Are you sucking me in?

That is a straight line. I'm going to look back.

Kristen, I am fine. I will see you tonight.

Okay.

Oh, but you didn't tell them about the sacrifice tonight and how we have to

drain you of your blood.

I forgot.

Wait, what's going on, David?

What do you mean?

Ben is stuck at a freaking 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.

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.

You were talking about the darker side of the spiritual experience.

What did you mean? Do you know how many English translations there are of

Dante's Inferno?

134. Do you know how many there are of the Paradiso?

12. You want to know why?

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.

You light this candle.

Somewhere near the typewriter.

And turn out the light.

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

paper? I work on a laptop. On the laptop screen.

Then play this song and sing to it.

Now, see, I don't have a turntable.

Well, go get one. Who said writing was going to be easy?

Now, remember, candle, blood, sing.

In that order.

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 sink.

Come on, children.

Sing louder,

please.

Jante alouette, alouette, jante plumerée, jante plumerée.

Do you mind waiting here?

Sure.

Is there someone in your room?

I'll be right out.

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.

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.

committed evil acts.

The entity has committed evil acts. We are not the entity. We are friends of

Vatican. David?

Kristen, give me a minute. You brought her here?

You called me?

Give me five minutes.

Unfortunately, I have to ask you right now.

What's up?

David, what's going on?

I need a minute.

Who are you in there with?

Kristen Bouchard, hello?

Remember me?

Victor LeConte?

Yeah.

The entity? No, just a Vatican functionary. Come in.

This looks serious in here.

We're 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.

Any thoughts?

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?

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.

Kristen, your daughter is a child of God.

Is that what David's been telling you? No, David has insisted on not helping us

because that would mean betraying you.

And yet you opened the door for me.

So what are you about?

I want to enlist the help of the mother.

Your daughter, Lexith, is being groomed.

Excuse me? She's being influenced by others to carry on a demonic tradition.

This is a map you recognize.

This sigil here, that is the one your daughter is being groomed for. It is a

sigil. Many rely on it as a leader. It matters more to us than 20 of the

How is she being groomed? You know how. You stopped Leland Townsend from having

direct contact with her.

So this isn't about my daughter. This is about Leland.

I would agree.

Then why aren't you doing something about him?

Why was he working as a doctor for the church?

We needed to keep him close.

Now we want you to work with us.

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

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.

You must have wondered why Leland was targeting you. Why did he go after you

court from the very beginning? Why Orson LaRue? Why Dwight Farrell? Why your

delusions? Why your night terrors?

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? I'm going nowhere.

I'm going home. Why?

Because I have to hug my daughter. Wait, stay.

Do you have kids?

No. Shut the fuck up.

I'm going to hug my daughter.

Keep her in line.

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, Lily. She went to the motel.

Damn it. Yeah.

I'm feeling like this is like dorm life circa 2004, you know? I mean, all you

need on the tape deck is hair.

Oh.

My baby don't mess around because she loves me so and this I know for sure.

What's going on?

Don't freak out, okay?

Okay.

Okay, so what are we in mid -Somar territory now? Are you going to push me

cliff or something? Not quite, but seriously, don't freak out. There will

some blood.

My blood?

Are you joking?

No, I just worry that you... Renee?

Are you okay?

It's time for the sacrifice.

Okay, Renee, I'll call you later, okay? Hey, hey, hey, hey, okay, okay. Excuse

me. Shh, okay, okay, calm down.

Okay,

hey, hey, hey!

Why are you bitching? Oh, I'm not bitching. Oh, I was writing great stuff.

Oh, it just flowed. I've never had that feeling before.

Like someone was writing through you.

It was. Like I was sharing half my brain. I wrote ten pages.

Like it was nothing.

Then what?

It stopped.

I didn't do anything.

It just...

Your muse fled.

How do I get it back?

Do you really want to know?

Yes.

That's why I'm asking.

Hemingway asked.

Fitzgerald. Joyce.

Mailer. Pound.

But you have to be prepared to do what they did.

What did they do?

How?

Sister Andrea, cut her hair.

Cut it all off, and your muse will return.

You're joking.

No, I'm not.

Be gone, Satan.

Where's Lily? She tried to break him free.

Be gone, Satan.

Oh, my God.

Stop them.

They're killing him. Wait, Lily. They're not. They're trying to save him. What

are you talking about?

Give thanks to Christ.

I will found none of your works.

I love you.

I'm here. I'm here for you.

Lily?

I'm so sorry. I didn't know what you were up to.

I'm so sorry.

I'm here, Owen.

I love you.

Hey, Ben, what's up? How's it going?

Yes, you are blessed.

Master, I have been found guilty.

I am guilty.

I killed my mother.

When she gave birth to me, she was bloody.

I made her bloody.

I left him there.

Ben?

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 don't believe that you're channeling Jesus.

I don't... Hey, look, I don't... I'll refrain from that. Your mother.

Excuse me?

You blame yourself for your mother's death.

No, I don't.

We're getting over.

Your sister.

At the science league, she told me.

You broke your mother's heart.

That's why you think you killed her.

Guilt!

Guilt!

Guilt! Guilt!

Guilt! Hey, guys, guys, shh, everybody, that's not helping.

I mean, even if I was feeling guilty, okay, I wouldn't crawl around on the

like some kind of nut hitting myself, right?

That doesn't do anything. Guilty!

Guilty! Okay, stop.

Facing up to it.

That's what you have to do.

You didn't kill your mother.

It happens.

Childbirth mortality is always a danger.

Jesus.

Hey. Remember science?

This is not science.

Again, this is some crazy cold shit! Come on!

You're here.

Hey, guys.

How's it going?

What the hell?

What did they do to you?

Oh, this?

It's not mine.

What happened?

They killed a goat and they poured his blood over me.

Why?

Religion.

You smell like blood.
