Original subtitles

It's been a while.

What's going on? You're very quiet.

Yeah, it's been difficult lately.

Why is that?

A woman I knew, she was just... She was just murdered by her husband.

Oh, my gosh.

What happened?

She was pregnant and...

He thought there was something wrong with the fetus, and he tried to dig

it out of her.

Oh, my God.

He thought it was an animal.

He heard the fetus growling when he listened to its heartbeat, and I thought

was just paternal depression. So I said the things that you are supposed to say.

You know, you're going through changes, spousal anxiety, et cetera, et cetera.

And I didn't warn her.

I didn't warn anyone. But there's no way you could know it was Maury. He sounds

psychotic. And the warning signs of psychosis... Yeah, but that's not it.

It was part of me.

What do you mean?

The fetus.

I told you about my egg missing, right? So that was my egg in her.

I was horrified.

But part of me, I have to admit, part of me was relieved.

I didn't want my genetic material out there. I didn't want another woman to

my child.

And that's what horrifies me.

The thought of being relieved.

It was just...

But my thoughts are getting worse. I'm thinking darker things.

I'm having trouble communicating with Andy.

Why? The connection, you know, technical difficulties. But sometimes something

in me thinks that he might never return.

And in some way that might be simpler. Again, Kristen, we all... deal with dark

thoughts the boss we want to hit the neighbor we want to our subconscious

wild but thoughts are not actions yeah it's just that sometimes i think i'm

wishing for things and they're coming true no you're looking for ways to blame

yourself the world works with its own rules it's it's not dependent on your

thoughts and wishes

It's narcissism to think differently.

What happened to your hand?

Oh, uh, this? I cut myself.

Yeah, shaving.

You cut the back of your hand shaving?

I fell down.

Getting older.

How's your back?

It's good. You know, it's odd. I haven't thought about it in a month.

I guess I'm cured.

I've got to go. See you next week?

Yeah, you know, let me see how I feel. I think we should go back to weekly

therapy.

Think about it.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, just thrown a bit.

But I want to work. Where are you?

East Cove Marina, Earth 22.

What, you bought a boat?

Something like that.

See you in an hour? Yeah, I'll see you there.

One second.

Sorry.

When I'm in a groove, it's hard to stop.

Kurt, are you all right?

Oh, this is just what I do to write these days. It's from writing Twitter.

You sing? Yes. You should try it.

It gets you in touch with your muse.

Automatic writing, like Yeats.

Look!

Kurt, do you want to read it?

Your book?

Yes. Read it. I need to know whether to keep going.

If you say to give it up, I'll give it up.

But I need someone to read it first.

What problem might these people have?

Hey.

I heard about Valerie. I'm so sorry. I didn't know her long.

Again, you don't need to do this.

You've got it.

So what is it?

Monsignor just wants us to check in on the parishioner who's missing mass.

Fill us in on the rest.

Guess I missed the part where Jesus talks about the yacht.

David Acosta from St. Joseph.

We were sent here by...

Chris, please.

You need this to get in the yacht.

Hello?

Mr. Trezza. Yes, yes. Come inside, please.

Hurry.

Hurry, please. Hurry.

Was there anything out there? Did you see anything out there?

Security guard.

I can't go to mass anymore.

I asked for a Eucharistic, Minister.

What are you afraid is out there?

A demon.

Do you want any of this? It's a Chateau Lille Montrachet. It's $11 ,000 a

bottle. I'm drinking it all alone.

Do you want any? No, I'm fine. Tell us about this demon you saw.

It's been following me everywhere.

Everywhere.

I'd leave my penthouse because it found me there.

I flew to Europe. It found me there. I never thought that my yacht would be the

last place I could turn to, but here we are.

Let's get you something else to drink, huh?

I don't know why I'm being punished.

It's not like I'm a bad man. I'm very devout.

The minute I got this money, I tied the lot to the church.

I was a bank teller.

I worked low -wage jobs all my life. I was very good about saving money. I made

little investments here and there.

And then one day, it all just hit.

Big.

That's when I think it started following me.

The demon.

Do you want to see it?

This is from last night.

But it's been here before.

I don't see anything.

Watch.

It looks like your demon is a man trying to break onto your boat. That's what I

thought. But watch, watch how it's moving.

Did you see that? I was doing that all night.

I could hear it.

It was trying to get in my cabin, and it was trying to kill me.

And that's it.

Cameras went out.

Tech company said it was a short on my end. Could it be someone that wants to

scare you?

Exes or family members who want to take your money? No, no. Have you been

visited by the IRS?

You did get very rich very fast. They initiated an audit. Well, there you go.

The IRS sent someone to visit you to catch you off guard. An IRS audit can

certainly be stressful.

Have you heard of achievement phobia?

It's a psychological condition that stems from guilt and the fear of sudden

prosperity. Listen, I am not stressed because I have money, okay? I'm stressed

because I am being stalked by a demon.

What could make the lights do that?

Mr. Trezzo, if you don't mind, I'm going to hook up my cell phone to your

security system, and then when you get an alert, I will too, okay?

Sure.

Hello?

You still need me?

No. Grace does.

These are all the pages of the Provea Codex. There are missing information.

All of these are crucial to the future of the Church and mankind.

We cannot play this droven of the Provea Codex.

Is this from another document?

I don't know.

But you threw this.

Would it help you if you inflated this?

We know inflating things helps you talk to God.

May I please take a break?

You understand how serious this is?

David! Oh, no, no, questo non è corretto. Basta.

Lascia le parole.

Falli stare assieme.

I'm okay.

This is crazy.

I know.

I went from solitary confinement in Xinjiang to all of this.

Are you all right?

I'm not used to it.

So many questions.

You should tell them to lay off.

I can't. They're holding in.

Let me.

One thing I've learned about the church, you have to set limits.

Grace needs a break.

No, I'm pausing. Ora basta.

Fermiamoci tutti un attimo.

All I could think about were the kids.

At the daycare?

Yes.

Have you been back?

No. There hasn't been time.

I'm just anxious to get answers.

What is that?

Oh, I needed it to get through security.

It's okay.

There. What is that?

The royal sigil.

One of the most important.

The band on your wrist is connected to it.

How do you know?

Oh.

It is that.

Now.

Thank you, David, for coming.

Come back.

If they let you.

Grace.

you more than you need them.

I don't understand.

What does this have to do with the demon?

We think a lot.

Have you seen the symbol?

Yes. Where?

Wait,

what is this about?

Grace thinks that this is connected to our case.

How does she know?

Here.

I don't know what difference this makes.

Where's this from?

A customer of mine, back when I was a bank teller.

Tamara Hale. She was a day trader.

Made a fortune on a bubble a few years ago.

Do you have an address?

Proudest day of my life was when I bought this house.

All cash.

This was my house.

Three years ago.

I'm sorry I don't have more to offer you. I've recently had to downsize.

Oh, that's okay. Tomorrow.

We talked to Henry Trezza about this pen.

He said you gave it to him? Oh, yeah. It's my lucky pen. My uncle gave it to

a while back. How is Henry?

I always liked him at the bank.

He's struggling a bit. Really?

I heard he was doing really well.

Financially, yes.

Emotionally, not so much.

Oh, yeah.

I can relate.

I used to think money was everything.

And we didn't have much of it growing up. My parents always argued about it.

I vowed to make so much one day that it would shut people up.

So I made some money on Wall Street, and overnight, suddenly, I was rich.

And then the thing showed up.

The thing?

That's what I began to call it.

I started noticing that I was being followed by this shadow almost

as my stocks were doing better.

At first, I thought it was a man, dressed all in black, but then I

wasn't even human.

Are you being followed now?

No, because I finally figured out what I had to do.

What was it?

Give away everything I bought.

Every single thing.

I mean, it started with just a car or two, and then I gave away that house,

here I am.

Home sweet home.

And you feel safe now?

I do.

The thing stalking me continued until I had given everything away. It was like I

took my own vow of poverty.

But I haven't felt or seen the thing since.

And how did you know it would work?

Giving everything away. No, my uncle told me. He'll tell you. Ask him

He was followed by this thing, too.

And then one night, he says it got him.

He fought it.

And he realized the only way he could escape from it was to get rid of

everything.

What is your uncle's name?

You said my niece sent you?

Yes, she said you were being followed by...

The same thing as her.

Demon? Yes.

Tamara said it caught up with you and you fought it?

Wrestled it, I guess.

It hissed in my ear.

Give it up.

So I realized I had to give up everything.

All your earthly goods.

No, just the things I bought after I struck it big with DF.

With? DF.

A stock on the rise.

I got a tip.

from a guy in a bar df was this this new stock that was going to go through the

roof i put a hundred dollars on it and and it did shortly thereafter

the demon started following me then when it told me to give it up i i

started giving away everything everything i bought and the demon

following you no that's when i realized

I used some of the money for LASIK surgery in this eye.

And a nose job.

In the mirrors.

You did this to yourself?

I had to.

It was the only way to keep the demon away.

I had to give it all back.

The worst thing was my wife's breast implants.

Can I ask you, sir, what does this mean to you?

That's the logo for DF.

I have to do what?

We're not telling you what to do. We're just telling you what Tamara and her

uncle did.

They gave up everything. They gave up everything that was bought with DF

dividends that Dr. Tamara gave you, right? Yeah, okay, but that's

right? I mean, that's this boat, my clothes, my food.

Henry, we think you need some help, psychiatric help. I think there's some

playing on you. Did they get help, Tamara and her uncle?

No.

You believe me, right?

It's a demon.

I think... I can't explain it.

All I know is Tamara is happier now. She gave everything away and she's not so

anxious. What about her uncle?

Well, he's had some health difficulties.

He had eye surgery and a nose job and...

You have to give those up.

I said, what?

Give those up?

What are you talking about?

I have hair plugs.

What do I do about that?

I paid for my mother's hip surgery. What am I supposed to rip that out?

Hey. Look, I'm going to refer you to a psychiatrist.

Actually, I'm going to call you with a good recommendation.

Sorry, there has to be another way.

If you keep asking for help with your cases, I'm going to start charging you.

No, I don't really need help. I just want you to feel smart.

Here, explain this.

Looks like he short -circuited the wires in one of the lights, and that caused

the others to go out.

Two. Mm -hmm. But how did he make the lights shut out at the precise moment

he walked under them?

Smart Wi -Fi circuit breaker.

They do exist.

But it's a lot of trouble to go through just to scare someone.

Oh. Well, I have seen people do crazier things.

What's this about, anyway?

So, this guy got filthy rich off of E -trading or some shit, and now he thinks

that a demon is stalking him.

Hey, you do some day trading, right? You ever heard of DF?

No. Is that a stock?

Yeah. All these three invested in it, and then they struck it rich overnight.

don't day trade, but I do have a portfolio.

Don't you?

Oh, yeah. With all the money that the church is paying me, I have millions in

investments. Okay, so you're saying that this guy hooked up one light to the Wi

-Fi circuit breaker, and that shorted out the first light, and then that

out all the other lights.

Yeah. And the rest is timing.

Look at the pace he's going. He's trying to time walking under the lights.

David.

David, can we speak?

Grace said to stop talking.

She stopped answering your questions? She stopped saying anything.

Contact her brother.

We did.

Her daycare no longer exists.

You have to find a situation with children.

She loves children.

Help us.

I need some help with Grace.

What are you doing? Um, well, we kind of have this tradition for my birthday. I

can't really back out right now.

I'm sorry

Happy birthday. Thank you.

What's up? What do you need?

Do you mind having a few guests?

Are you sure this is okay?

Ever since she was five, we've been coming here for my birthday.

So are you a nun or something?

No, no, just someone the church wants around.

Did you see those guys over there?

Yeah, just ignore them.

They're trying to protect me.

From what? Hey, Lynn.

Would you like some pizza? Yes.

When will my dad come home? Oh, Laura, no.

But you said she could tell the future.

No, I said that some people think that she can tell the future.

Mom, let's go to the ball pit.

Oh, Mom, you and I don't have to. We'll be right back.

Jump in?

Yes. I'll go first.

Next Thursday.

What? You asked me when your dad's coming home.

Next Thursday.

Really?

Yeah.

Mom was worried.

I know.

But parents have to worry. If you don't... Will you jump in? Will you jump

Here you go.

Give me one second.

What? I have to draw something.

What are you drawing?

I don't know. Sometimes I just get the urge.

What's that?

Pizza sauce.

Padre, this is a century of work in one day,

in less than one day.

She's special.

But you have to adapt yourself to her, not the other way around.

What does that mean?

Kristen's daughters have fallen in love with her.

They want to invite Grace to a party tomorrow night.

Do what you want, but she's doing you a favor.

There once was a lonely mother who lived in a mansion with her four beautiful

daughters.

Come on, seriously?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Police activity.

No invasions. I just need to see Henry Treza. I'm just going to take one

okay? My guess is it'll be less than that.

Sir.

What are the police saying?

Suicide. What about the surveillance footage? I mean, the attacker?

No, they think it was rehearsed. So it wouldn't be deemed a suicide and then

Henry's family could collect on the insurance.

Seriously? Anything on that stock?

Oh, yeah.

DF?

DF. It is a conglomerate of disparate global businesses that covers real

social media, and crypto trading.

God, it could mean anything.

Mm -hmm. Um, quick question. Are we still assessing someone if they're

I'll talk to them on senior.

Okie dokie.

Um... Yeah?

Just so you know, we agreed to this before the events of the last few days.

Agreed to what?

When you go in there, just act surprised.

Oh, my God, it was my birthday yesterday.

They thought you were doing that for them.

They want to do this for you.

Basically, what we're saying is cheer the fuck up.

Okay.

Cheering the fuck up.

What a surprise!

I thought we had my party yesterday.

Yeah, this is a double bubble, Mom.

What is a double bubble? It's the holiday after the holiday. So you're not

disappointed when the holiday is over.

Oh,

this is my sister Karina.

Oh, hi Grace.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. I had to bring my entourage.

Nice to meet you. I'm Grace.

You're from the church. You have that energy.

Do you work with Kristen?

No, I'm not from the church.

But I sort of work with Kristen.

So much happiness here. Oh, yeah, we're quite the family.

Is something wrong?

I won't blame you.

What?

For tomorrow night.

I'm sorry, what happens tomorrow night?

Would you like some honey?

No, I'm getting some fruit and drink.

What's that?

Oh, I'd stay away from that.

It's candy salad.

Oh. My girls make believe it's healthy, and I make believe I'm a good mother.

You have very sweet children.

You think so?

Yes.

Give me, give me.

Give me, give me.

May I ask you something?

Certainly.

Last year I asked you if Laura's heart would heal.

And you said yes.

Do you remember that?

I do.

Well, it did heal.

I'm so happy.

She's a ball of energy.

Yeah, she really is.

Can I ask you about Lexus?

So someone told me that Lexis might have behavioral issues in the future.

Now, I don't see it.

What this person told you is wrong.

Lexis is a good girl, but she needs you to protect her.

I do.

I think I do.

Protect her from what?

There are people wanting her to do bad things, but if you help her, she will

not.

She's...

May

I use this?

Yeah, of course.

No.

Is this about Alexis?

No. Should I get David?

No.

What is it?

Your husband.

What does this have to do with my husband?

But he needs your help.

Having the best time, I see.

What's all this priest action?

Come on, I thought you liked these people.

You've been acting weird all night.

I just don't really know anyone here.

Uh, criminal, I know you. That's not what's bothering you. What's going on?

I bought some stock.

Do you have?

Just 100 chairs.

A couple of days ago.

It went up.

Made a thousand bucks.

Good for you. What's the problem?

Last night when I was walking home, someone was following me.

I left Duane Reade and I saw someone across the street.

Every time I turned around, it was there.

exactly the same distance away.

Okay.

I mean, come on. You saw someone in the middle of New York City?

It never seemed to have any definition. It was just this figure.

And when I left for work this morning, there it was again.

So it was a man?

He was tall, slim, so, yeah, maybe.

Can't really say.

Someone is screwing with us. Yeah, but why?

You make any money on the stock? Not much. A thousand dollars? What's wrong

achievement phobia?

Maybe we're thinking about this all wrong.

What do you mean?

I've been checking the timeline on this thing following.

Even when Zach and Tamara gave away their fortunes, they were still being

followed.

It was only when Zach gave the stock tip to Tamara that he stopped being

followed. And it was only when Tamara gave the stock tip to Henry that she

stopped being followed.

Okay, so it's the ring, right?

The supernatural world is watching movies when they're basing their rules

-movie. Hello, that's not a B -movie. I'm just thinking that maybe it isn't

about being rich.

Maybe it's about the stock itself.

All right, you know what? Fine.

Give me the stock tip. What?

No. This is stupid, and you know it, okay? But if it'll make them feel

you text me the stock tip, and I will invest.

I'm not sure about that, Ben. What?

We don't believe in any of this, right? So I'm betting that I invest in the

stock market and I lose because that is what always happens to me. Okay, so pull

out your phone and officially text me the stock tip and we will show the

supernatural world that we mean business.

Great. Okay. DF, I'm officially buying 100 shares.

Done. All right, David.

I can expect my resignation tomorrow when I'm suddenly crazy rich.

Now, can we go have some cake?

All

right

already.

What's wrong?

What is this?

A drawing.

Of? You know what it's a drawing of.

Who drew this?

A woman named Grace. Someone the church has. Some prophetess.

Oh, yes.

Grace Ling. You know her? I know of her. We're a tight community.

She's bad news. Yeah, I can see that.

Who's she been showing this to?

What did Ms. Ling tell her?

She said that Andy needed Christian's help.

Okay, no need to panic. I'm not panicking. You need to take care of

Of him. I agree.

Okay.

Hello?

Aiden, force of power, force of enlightenment.

Who's our resident?

Hi, is your mom there?

I'm not supposed to answer that. Who are you? Well, I tried her cell, and she

didn't answer. Could you take a message?

Sure, after you tell me who you are.

Please tell her that Dr.

Kurt Boggs called.

Dr. Kurt Boggs?

You wrote that scary story.

I did?

Who is this?

My sister.

Lila found it in Mom's stuff. We need to know the story ends. When does the next

chapter come out?

Soon! Uh, I think, I hope.

Writing takes time.

You really liked it?

Loved it. We were up all night.

The girl killing her mom, the ghost coming, and all the body parts. Yep,

yep. Those are my favorite parts, too.

It wasn't too bloody.

No, but you can't just end it. What do you mean?

You need to tell us what happens.

Oh, well...

I'm going for ambiguity.

No. It needs to end, and it needs to be clever.

Like, all the body parts come together and go up the stairs. You know, like,

arms and legs.

And then it pulls itself up the stairs while saying something like, Don't cry,

kids. I'm coming for you.

Wow.

Oh, my God. That's good.

You need another part as soon as you can get it.

Okay. Tell your mother I called, and thank you.

I will send you the next chapter.

Okay, I have to do homework now. Bye!

I am good!

I am good!

Satan, force of power, force of enlightenment, I acknowledge that I am

without you. I call on you to fill my body, my soul, and my mind, Satan.

I realized how fucking insanely stupid this is, so I went back out.

And?

A couple blocks away. He was there again.

So what did you do?

I went after him.

And? He turned a corner.

He was gone.

I know there is a logical explanation to this.

Some kind of, I don't know, Occupy Wall Street or whatever.

Power of suggestion?

No. I am not suggestible.

Not like this.

I can stay here if you want.

Bunk with you next couple nights. Okay, now I really feel like an asshole. All

right, give me the stock tip.

What? Kristen.

I'm serious. Pass along the stock tip to me and the dark figure will leave you

alone, right?

And then what'll you do?

I got an idea. Just do it. Tell me.

Tell you what? Tell me to buy stock in DF.

Go on, do it. Say it.

I'll buy stock in DF.

Thank you. I think I will.

So now what happens? Now I own 50 shares of DF.

What happens when you start to be followed by... A demon?

I think I can handle that.

Hello?

This will stream live, bitch, so if you came here to... I'm here to offer a

truth.

What?

I've got a stock tip for you.

Grace?

Grace?

You know what my favorite part of hide and seek is?

It's the counting.

One, two, three.

Six. Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Half.

Nine and three quarters.

And ten.

Ready or not, Ms. Ling, I have your dinner.

Do you prefer a breast or a limb?

and feels cold.

Would you hold it, please?
