What is this?

Coordinates. For?

The target.

What target?

There is a situation the church is seeking a window into.

You are the window.

You know conversations are supposed to make things clearer.

I'm not intentionally obscure.

Sometimes reality is obscure.

This exercise is called stepping into the target.

The mind is stimulated when the body physically moves through a threshold,

a doorway, a tunnel, or over a line.

More obscure still?

Yes.

Step over the line and draw what you see.

And if I see nothing?

Then this will be a short meeting.

But there are eight Christian missionaries who will die if this

Is that true?

One thing you have to know about me.

I never lie.

Now close your eyes, step over the line, and draw what you see.

Why did you replace Victor LeConte?

Why?

I don't understand the question.

You're my new handler, right?

Is it because you're black?

You're a very suspicious person.

There are 250 black priests in the United States, and we just happen to end

together. I'm from Nigeria.

There are more black priests there.

Now close your eyes, step over the line, and tell me what you see.

What do you see, David?

Nothing.

Let me start by saying I am so sorry for my behavior. I started seeing this

doctor about my back pain.

He promised a cure. It turns out his cure was pentastase. Oh. Which, as you

know, has the potential for psychotomimetic effects.

Hallucinations. Right. That was a wake -up call I needed. I changed doctors,

detoxed from the drugs. I'm really glad to hear that.

Uh... Okay, uh, I gotta head out.

An assessment?

Yeah. Listen.

I know I have significant work ahead to rebuild your trust, but would you be

open to resuming our weekly sessions?

Um, well, it's actually, it's not for me. It's for Andy.

Ever since the avalanche, he just has not been himself, and the neurologist

can't seem to find anything, so my only other guess is that it has to be

psychological. Well, I would be happy to help. Right.

It's just that, uh, the... I know.

My, uh, my automatic writing.

I was trying something out, but I'm done.

Are you sure?

Yes. Okay.

Well, great. Let me talk to Andy, and then I'll give you a call.

Need any help, Doctor?

No, no. I'm just throwing away old business.

What did that mean?

Bogs have thrown out your thing.

One dose of prosedone, 18 milligrams, swallowed 10 minutes ago.

Opening eyes slowly.

Ah, no evident hallucinatory images to my left.

Wait, oh, wait.

Faded image against the black and white.

Image is strongest against the black.

Closing my eyelids to half.

Image is gone.

But the voice is still here.

18 milligrams has no evident impact on hallucinatory voice.

Have you ever thought this, Dr. Bob?

Oh, my God.

The country life. Okay, you're trapping all the smell inside.

Well, you open yours.

Does it feel like we're heading out to the country a lot these days? Yeah, in

the same place.

The particle accelerator is only four miles from here.

The gates of hell.

We're opening them.

Okay, what am I looking for here?

All right, let me show you.

Here.

VidTap, really? We swore these off. Just watch.

Earlier tonight, my boyfriend ate pork chops for dinner.

It's the same now.

Oh, okay. What are we, back in jump scare

territory? Come on. This is the possessed pork challenge.

What?

Here's another one.

Here it goes.

Regardless of the warning, I'm about to eat bacon from Belmonte.

Wish me luck, and I challenge my friends Joel B49 and Adam Frazier 226 to do the

same. Let's see what happens when I eat possessed pork.

Okay, so we're assessing this kid.

No, we are assessing the pigs.

You're kidding, right? The pork lobby.

Oh, my God. There's a 20 % drop in sales because of the fear of possessed pork.

He has the church to intervene.

After a sizable donation, I assume. So where are he looking at pigs?

Yep.

Hello. You must be from the Archdiocese. I'm Larry Bibb from the PPN, the pork

producers of the Northeast. I'm Brother Cocton.

Kristen and Ben. It's so good to meet you. Oh.

This is one of the Belmonte team members, Chuck Garcia, who runs this

Welcome to my farm. You're the priest?

Yes. Good to meet you. Most of the church we have out here is in Lyddon.

spend a night out there in a graveyard.

Looking for a ghost?

No, werewolf.

You know, before I forget, let me give you these.

It's a selection of our fall meats and cheeses.

There's one for each of you. I don't eat pork.

Ah, well.

I'll just keep these here, and you can take them with you when you go. My guess

is you want to see my livestock.

Yes, please.

This way.

Who's that?

My neighbor.

Back to the farm.

They farm by drone?

They keep track of their livestock by drone. You don't like that. It's a new

to farm.

A lot of us prefer the old ways.

Yes. Whoa. Get used to it. But we have some maps here if you want.

Oh. We have about 1 ,200 animals, give or take the gestating breeding styles,

which are kept here. Our animals are all vaccinated against porcine galleria,

rucelosis, pseudorabies, and African swine fever.

And this is my son, Anthony, and to the people from the church.

Right. They want to know about our living condition.

Well, we follow all New York Department of Health and Hygiene regulations.

All animals designated for slaughter have a certificate completed by USDA

Category 2 accredited veterinarian. Someone's going to be a lawyer.

How did it stay closer to home for a while? It's a family business.

Can we get a look at your farm's paperwork?

Of course.

Why so loud? Why all the squealing?

Pigs and hogs together.

Noise isn't a bad thing with the pigs. It's not like babies.

Why do you think people think you're quarks possessed?

People are weird.

People believe a lot of things.

The world is flat.

QAnon is real.

People like the idea of conspiracies. It makes life easier. Don't you think?

I do. You look around. You tell us what we're doing wrong.

Great. Thank you.

Behave.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine. It's just a cut. Let's get you your first aid. No,

it's all right. It's nothing.

Let's get you a maniseptic. You don't want to get that infected.

I look around at all the women here, and I know.

that we together have been more responsible for this quarter's bottom

any of those men.

Gina, you brought in Soloboff, okay? Can we have a round of applause for Gina?

Yes? And Leslie, Leslie, you not only righted the ship on the Twitter threat,

but you're carrying the friggin' antichrist. Can we give it up for

Thanks, but I'm not the biological mother. No, see, that's the problem.

Men take credit even when they don't deserve it. Women share credit even when

do deserve it.

Yeah, look at them up there.

Mike started out as your assistant, Monica.

Tanner over there brought me lunch and now... Cheryl!

Oh, how cute.

A little sewing circle.

What do you need, Leland?

Well, I've got my hooks into Dr.

Boggs, but I need to close that deal. I need more background on Kristen.

Okay, I'll come back.

Okay. Listen up, ladies. That is why I'm here.

To bring down that motherfucker.

Leland? Yeah.

He's out to destroy my family, my granddaughters. But I'm taking him down

From the inside.

How? Organized. The six of us.

We got the rest of the women in the office.

Are you saying that we threatened to quit? No, I'm saying that we take over

women. We just take... Yeah?

I think I need some help.

Oh, shit.

Okay. No, no, no. I got it.

How's that? Yeah, that's good.

I think they're doing what pig farmers do.

I'm not sure how pigs would act if they were possessed.

Right.

I did think it was weird the way they reacted to my blood.

Where's Ben?

What do you need?

Oh, no, just checking out your drones.

Why?

I just think it's interesting.

Farming by drone.

Yeah, and who are you?

Oh, no one. I'm just inspecting the Belmonte farm.

Is that a Redeye 360?

Yeah. Yeah?

You like that better than the quad air?

Night and day.

Red -eyed lighter. Yeah, but less battery life, right? Oh, come on. It's

equivalent in common usage.

Quad S for city folks.

Okay, I'll get from city folks.

How's the digital accuracy?

Three megapixels per frame.

And you get night vision.

Really?

Nice.

Can I see?

This is the night vision. That's the, uh, Bill Munter from?

Man, that's our field. Yeah.

Garcia's hate that I do this, so I fly at night.

What are you worried about?

Pigs getting loose? Well, sometimes, yeah.

I mean, I find a hole in my fence, and they're all over my land.

Hmm.

They're dangerous?

Yeah, mostly just aggressive.

There are some weird things at night, though.

Like what?

Okay.

This is last month.

Watch the field around 2 a .m.. I couldn't sleep kept hearing weird noises

People screaming and the light so I sent the drone up

Okay, what am I looking for?

Freaky. This is real time. This is not time -lapse, right?

No.

Can I?

I don't know.

But if you find out, tell me.

Thank you.

It's okay. No, no, please make it stop. I don't want to do it anymore.

It's okay. Leslie, Leslie, this is DF's private facility. One of the best in the

world. Nothing's going to happen to either of you. I promise.

Leslie, Leslie, it's okay. It's okay. Wait, wait, wait. It's just a normal

little kick. It's okay. Just keep breathing.

Nurse!

Nurse!

It's okay.

Hi. I'm Nurse Block.

And I'll take it from here.

You need an ultrasound.

Please, please help me. I don't think it's supposed to hurt. Don't worry,

I have just the same cell.

Please, please.

Breathe,

breathe, breathe.

Thank you.

I

snuck

a shot on my phone. He didn't want me to have a copy. He's worried that it'll

seem like he's surveilling his neighbor.

But he is surveilling his neighbor? Well, I think there's a lot of sabotage

there in farmland.

He hates how the pigs dig under his fences.

You think it was the farmer's son?

I think so.

It's really weird.

Why are you breathing so hard, David?

My nighttime run. Oh, my God.

Would you stop being super priest?

I don't run that fast.

Um, hey, so what do you want to do, David? I mean, this doesn't seem to have

anything to do with pork.

Let me talk to Father Ignatius.

He'll probably want us to go out there one more time to see if there's some

of infectious possession.

Well, good night.

Don't get mugged. Already home.

Hey, what about me?

You don't get mugged either.

Night, guys. Bye. Good night.

Two doses of Prasadone, 36 milligrams.

Yellow flag mean?

The flag of Ethiopia.

Where did you see it?

I can't tell.

You can to me.

No, no, I mean, I can't tell.

I have visions.

It's not remote viewing.

It has nothing to do with your numbers or your line on the floor. You don't

that. I know what I see.

Okay, then.

In your vision, what did you see?

Corpses. I was stepping through them.

Men.

Women.

And that flag.

Were you googling something before?

That can affect what you see. I was coming back from a run.

A scar on my right hand. The shape of a red triangle.

David, this was PSI.

Perfect Sight Immersion.

The coordinates we gave you were for the barracks of General Caleb Gurma, the

leader of Ethiopian military forces.

And he has a triangular scar on his right hand.

David, you didn't step into the space of Germer.

You stepped into Germer himself.

That's why you felt hate and murderous thoughts.

You were him.

This is not real.

It is.

And this is not healthy.

There are eight missing priests in Ethiopia.

We need to know what General Germer did with them.

I know it's hard.

Father, I have visions of hell.

I have visions of the world ending.

They're not true.

They are possibilities.

You can't depend on what I see to be true.

I can if it's all I've got.

That's your son, Anthony, isn't it?

Would you get that? I can't say. It's the Baxter farm, isn't it? He has the

stupid drums.

Constantly spying. Wait a minute.

We have been sent to check on the pork being slaughtered here. If this has

anything to do with it, tell us, or we'll have to turn in a negative report.

Father, he's my son.

Well, he looks like someone possessed.

Tell us or we'll find out on our own.

I'm sorry.

What are we playing here, a good priest, bad priest?

About a month ago, my son came back from college, started acting strange.

I thought they were night terrors at first.

He would wake up just screaming.

And one night, I tried to wake him, and he just snapped, threw

me across the room as if I weighed nothing.

I was raised Pentecostal, but I haven't been to church in a while.

So I went online, trying to look for help.

It was difficult finding anyone to come out here. But finally, I found an

exorcist.

Who?

The trio of God.

Fuck!

What is that? The Trio of God?

Amateur exorcists. They advertise online.

Are you alright, David?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

I don't know. Are you just being, um, angry?

Just don't like amateurs messing with the supernatural.

Right, but also, earlier you were driving pretty aggressively.

It's just these whole country roads, and you're like, like driving a video game.

Here they are.

Wow, that looks official.

and endanger the baby. Killing her is not the concern.

Okay, just tell me the priority.

For six or seven months, we need her as a body.

Yes, sir.

Get me the baby.

Shh, I think she's coming.

Okay.

Oh, great, we're awake.

How's the baby?

They're going to kill me. What?

Who? Leland and the nurse.

They're going to kill me and they're going to feed my body to the baby.

Oh, that's crazy, Annie.

Giving birth to the Antichrist is fucking crazy.

Using my body as food is just normal crazy.

Okay, just calm down, all right?

And we can figure out what's going on.

Uh, nurse block, right?

Yeah.

Cheryl. Right.

Leslie was just talking to me. She heard you and Leland talking.

Yes, I didn't know she was awake. Is she in pain? No, no, but she told me she

heard you were planning to kill her and use her body for baby food.

Really? Yeah.

Killing her?

For baby food? Yeah, I want to, you know, calm her or so.

Dr. Townsend and I were discussing the condition of the fetus. It's in a

transverse line, so pain control is paramount. I can understand if Leslie

sights and sounds confusing during this time, but I can assure you the only harm

that will come to her is if we take her off the epidural too abruptly.

Thank you.

You have been freed from all demonic influence.

Oh, my gosh.

I feel released.

Jesus freed you. Can I please get your autographs? Maybe in a minute. Of

of course. You all are a godsend.

Thank you, Jesus.

Don't worry, you are in great hands.

Hello. Do you have an appointment?

The trio of God?

Yes.

Hey, we're from St. Joseph's. We were hoping to talk with you. Ah, our Roman

Catholic brethren.

Yes, we've had a few of your rebounds come through here.

Rebounds? Just your exorcism. The ones that didn't take.

Let's talk about your exorcisms.

Under what authority do you cast out these demons?

By the only authority needed, the authority of Jesus.

But you aren't trained exorcists. Trained by who?

Nowhere in the Bible does it say you need to be trained to cast out demons.

That is something the Roman Catholics made up. Like Latin, the holy water, the

indulgences, anything to profit from God.

And to keep the white male clerical patriarchy intact.

How much did you just charge him? Nothing but our living expenses.

Jack Garcia paid you $10 ,000.

That's a lot of living expenses.

His dad would have paid us ten times that amount. But at what cost?

Um, so, this farm.

What happened at this farm?

That wasn't our fault. What wasn't your fault?

Jesus was confronted by a demon -possessed man living among the tombs of

city. Oh, my God. When he encountered Jesus, he cried out, Have you come to

us into hell, Son of God?

But there was a herd of pigs nearby, and the demons begged Jesus, If you've come

to cast us away, send us into the pigs. And Jesus said to them, Leave this man.

And the demons fled out of the man's body and went into the pigs. And all the

pigs ran down into the sea and drowned themselves.

Mark 5.

That's what you did?

You sent the demons into the pigs? Yes. He came to us three weeks ago. His son

was possessed, and that's the gospel he demanded.

We cast the demons into the pigs. But they didn't drown themselves.

There was no place for them to drown themselves.

That's why we told the father to destroy them.

Oh, Jesus.

So what are we saying?

Those crazy girls, they sent a demon into the pigs?

Are we really on that level of crazy? It's biblical, so, yeah.

I'm going nuts. Why?

This job. So you're no longer going over to the dark side?

What do you mean?

A few months ago, you were throwing your hand in with God and going to church.

Now what? You're right. I promised God that I would take the girls to Mass

week if Andy came back alive.

But all this talk of salvation, God, demons, it's just... It's just broken

I know you see visions, David, but that is your truth and not mine. Don't say

your truth.

There's truth.

There's no yours and mine.

Can you see an elephant from one side, I see it from another? Neither of us is

wrong. Yes, but there is an elephant. Yeah, and if one of us were omniscient,

could insist on what the other person saw, but you can't determine what I see.

I'm not trying to. Ever since I gave up taking God and demons seriously, I've

been happy.

So why would I want to go back to a world that requires me to dress up my

for mass or get a nun into my house to destroy demons?

Because it's true. What good is truth if it doesn't make you happy?

So how do we talk? I don't know.

Maybe we don't.

Maybe we mime things to each other. Maybe you mime God and I mime science.

been seeing something.

What?

I've been seeing a djinn.

It's called a kareem.

In Islam, it's like an eid shadow.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

What are you doing about it? Is this about the particle accelerator? I'm

medication, and, uh, yeah, I'm guessing it is. What medication?

Zeparacidone. I'm trying it in 18 milligram stages.

Stages? What do you mean, stages?

Trying to figure out the minimum I need to stop the image.

Okay, if we're being honest...

The entity is back in my life.

I haven't been keeping it from you.

It's just things have been moving fast.

They're experimenting with remote viewing.

Serious? Remote viewing?

Yes. They gave me the coordinates for a dictator overseas.

And my visions, for some reason, have caught a glimpse of him.

Or I imagined I caught a glimpse of him.

I think that's the reason I've been so angry these past few days.

It's because I feel the emotions of this dictator.

I'm not saying it's true.

There's just something in what I'm doing that's changing my mood.

We are three fucked up people.

Okay, pull over.

We gotta hug.

What? No, we're okay. We're not pulling over.

David, pull over.

Pull over, David, or she'll think.

Hey, guys, I was thinking, I'm gonna go check out the soil at the farm.

Oh, yeah, why?

Because it might be neurosaccharidosis.

Right. What's that?

That happens when individuals are exposed to foreign antigens that

inflammation in the brain, which can't explain Anthony.

And the pigs too?

Yeah. So I'm going to go and get some samples because years of pesticides

can build up in the dirt.

Okay, a black man, a Muslim, and a white girl hanging beside the road. We should

go home before we get shot.

Fuck yeah.

How are you, Leslie?

Fine, I think.

A little pain.

I want it to come.

I do too.

Nurse Block has relayed your concern.

You heard what the nurse and I said. I want to talk about that.

Cheryl said I misheard.

Yes, but also, you didn't.

So, we need to have an honest conversation.

You know what you're carrying.

Yes. The most important child in 2 ,000 years. So, if I didn't mishear,

what were you talking about?

Using my body as food?

No, not about you.

You said the mother's body.

Yes, but not you. The biological mother.

Kristen? Yes, we didn't want you to worry.

In fact, we'll need your help on that front.

What? Kristen, I don't want any part of this. Well, that has to change. That's

why we need you.

Girl?

Hello? Kristen, please help me.

Who's this?

Leslie. I didn't know who I was to call.

Leslie who?

I'm carrying your baby.

And it's coming.

I'm in labor right now. I was at the hospital, but they're trying to

kill me.

Um, Leslie.

I have nothing to do with this baby.

Leland is going to kill me.

Help me.

Please help me.

You should go back to the hospital, okay?

No.

The nurse is drugging me.

Nurse blocked with her squeaky shoes.

She's been poisoning me, please.

I'm not crazy.

They're going to mulch me up. They're going to feed my body.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die, please.

Where are you?

When did her contractions start?

Uh, I don't know. Family complications during her pregnancy?

Um, don't know.

Ma 'am, are you going in the room?

Actually, I'm going to... Guys, come on. Let's go. Please.

Please.

She's very active. The baby's coming.

Please, Kristen.

I'm scared.

Kristen.

Please. Please don't leave me, Kristen.

Get her an epidural. Now. What about if she didn't walk? The baby is crowning.

Since you're a pro, help her breathe. I'm not here to... Get her breathing in

rhythm.

Let's take a look at this. Leslie, look at me. Look at me.

It's almost over.

You're going to breathe in for four through your nose, then out like... Are

ready? Think down and out. Here we go. Four.

Now out.

I need you to push.

I can't. Yes, you can. You can. I'm right here with you. It's almost over.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

I'm about to do better than that. Do you want to do it, doctor?

Thank you. I hate him in beard.

This hurts like a motherfucker.

Keep going.

Only win is the life.

Just a friendly old city boy just going back home.

Okay?

I don't know how to make you stop you're doing fine

If you feel insecure on their back, they're going to be dropped. You could

holding them on the stomach.

So we have an issue.

We already explained what happened with my son.

No, that's not it.

Kristen, are you on?

Yeah, I'm here.

What is that?

Feedback.

Which is?

That's what pig farmers call it when they feed the ground -up carcasses of

pigs to their live ones.

The trio of God told you not to sell the pigs they sent the demons into.

And I didn't. True, but you killed the pigs.

and you fed their carcasses to your living livestock.

Feedback is perfectly legal in our state. Yeah, saves farmers a massive

in feed. But pigs raised that way develop aggressive and cannibalistic

behaviors. That's why they were drawn to my blood.

Yep. And that's why they dug up the neighbor's graveyard.

And that is why they tried to kill me last night.

And that is why a hog in Oregon last year killed his farmer and ate him

All because of feedback.

But that means the pork isn't possessed.

It's healthy.

We're not signing off on your pork.

It may not be possessed, but it certainly is evil. Well, either way,

to need you to sign these nondisclosure agreements.

There's one for you and you.

What's his name?

The baby's, um, I don't think that's decided yet.

Here it is.

Timothy.

That's my dad's name.

Oh, sweet. She named him after your father.

Here, it's time for the feeding.

Do you want two?

Uh, no, no, no. You're the only one she approved.

You're the other mother, right?

Here.

even look like each other.

The thrill of writing this year was going in in very unexpected ways that I

don't think other TV shows do. That's the good thing about not planning

everything exactly right, because you surprise yourself, you're probably going

to surprise the audience.

David Watson!

Michelle and I are of the opinion... The writer's room is about the logic of

building a story, but the actual putting those words down on paper are about

tapping into the intuition.

We have a spectacular group of writers. Either one of them will have read

something, thought of something, or we will come up with ideas of things that

we're finding scary in the world. There's so many different experiences

walks of life from everybody in the room, but I think it makes for a really

unique... stories will come with personal stories and what are you into

of like the news or current events and then we'll try to connect the dots on

both of them so even if it is something that's popping up in the news we will

put our own evils in on it whoa this year we leaned a little bit more into

innovative and newer technologies

that are going to be a big part of our future.

Technology has improved our lives, whether it's connectivity or

but then there's always, you know, an unexpected outcome.

The hell?

The first episode is based on a particle accelerator, the CERN one in

Switzerland. There was a lot of fear at the time when it was opening that it was

going to open the gates to hell.

One of the writers on the writer's room brought it to us, and it felt like

they're now creating another particle accelerator that is going to be equal to

CERN out in Long Island. So it felt like, oh, well, you know, that's

Evil has definitely the strangest tone of any show I've ever worked on, just

because it combines so many genres that wouldn't mesh, and that's all due to the

minds of Robert and Michelle King.

Robert and Michelle, as showrunners, will do a final pass at the script.

most of the humor gets added in.

And it's wonderfully surprising, and it's wonderful to get those scripts. I

think it's such a great blend of comedy and also, like, what the fuck is

happening? All our writers and the kings are crazy geniuses. Our monsters and

demons are not fantastical. Everything is very grounded in this world. And so

when you approach it that way, you find the real emotion in the scene, in the

script, and then you just go from it, because, like, the scary moments come

the very real moments.

The scale of our stories this year is really quite big, but then it's also

become far more personal, too. It was an interesting writing exercise for all of

us to do that kind of balance of two scales, but really big and really small.

We're going to be parents.

It's fun to write for Kristen and Leland. Kristen keeps being faced with

and weirder challenges by Leland. We never wanted her showing any

So all she can do and start doing is laughing at him, which defines Kristen

year, which might define why she's a little lighter this year. She would have

to. I mean, her egg was stolen and made into the Antichrist. That is horrific

stuff. And I think she either could have been destroyed by that.

Or found strength, and she found strength.

Anytime you build a conflict between characters in a TV narrative, there has

be an ending.

So I think what you're going to find is things are driven to a head this year

because of the nature of narratives, but also the nature of these characters.
