This is from Cheryl.

Congratulations,

David.

Wow. Talk about a promotion.

Pastor Acosta.

When did this happen?

Just today.

I'm retiring, and the Archdiocese wanted you to take over.

Can he still be an assessor? Yes, the Archdiocese wants you to do both.

Oh, you'll be great, David.

Jesus, Father, you don't take good news well.

We should leave. We've got to be late for the reception.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wise is bad news.

Educate me.

It feels like the black bluff.

I'm sorry, the black what?

They suddenly promote a black person to a position of power where there's no

power left.

Remember that time Cheryl gave the drummer her panties?

Is anyone ever going to be sad?

They were sad at church.

No, they were quiet at church.

Grandma probably would want it this way. Don't you think?

When I die, I want people to cry a lot.

In Ireland, they pay people to cry.

Hey, Ben the Magnificent!

You guys all looking formal.

Oh, there's a little kid.

He looks pretty happy.

It's having sisters.

Hey, girls, where's your mom?

In the kitchen, I think.

How are you guys holding up? You know, we've been better. I don't know why.

I actually never did.

Hey, Judy, we didn't help you eat it, right?

No, and you're like, what?

She hates all animals. That's what I thought, but she's more. There's

wrong with her. Like, how can you hate a kid?

We don't know a single person out there.

No one. Not a single person. That's why we're hunkered down in here. This is

Ellie. Good eulogy, Father.

Thank you. Were you friends with Cheryl? She used to babysit me when I was

eight. Am I crazy?

Yeah, I thought she was so cool.

She was cool.

Are you all right? Well, I really wasn't, but... Then I met Ellie here.

we've hit it off. We really have.

You know what? I used to have so many female friends. I don't understand what

happened to them. I guess that's the problem with having four... Shit.

Five kids?

I've got five kids now. Five.

That's too much. You're incredible.

Oh, this is my favorite doctor in the whole wide world, Dr.

Kurt Boggs.

This is Ellie. Hi.

I'm so sorry, Kristen. Yeah, me too.

Is Andy coming?

Andy! Oh, no, no, no. We thought it'd just be Beth. He stayed at the clinic.

My husband had a nervous breakdown.

I know. I'm sorry.

It happened.

The restroom?

Upstairs.

Wow,

you two look grim.

Hi.

Hi. That lady's been in there for a while.

Hard having one bathroom.

We almost had another one downstairs, but Hurricane Lucy blew it down.

Those are yours, right?

Yeah, from art class.

You thinking of going to college?

What? I'm 11.

It's not too young to be thinking about it. You should try NYU. They have a good

art program.

I always wanted to be an artist, but my mom wanted me to focus on something more

serious.

I better grab it before somebody else gets it.

So?

How are you adjusting?

To losing a mother or gaining a son?

I guess both.

Well, I guess I'm just taking all major life transitions at once.

Saves me time.

Did you believe what you said about my mom being in heaven?

In my eulogy?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, do you think that's all it takes?

It's saying you believe in Jesus and you go to heaven?

I do.

Even if you've murdered people, even if you've lied and hurt everyone you know,

you just say, I believe in you, Jesus, and God says... Yeah, that's good

enough for me.

I think it's a little more complicated.

Why do you ask?

You know, sometimes I like that you believe in something and I don't, and

times you're just a mystery to me out of the Middle Ages.

See that they arrested Zealand?

They did, yeah.

The house next door is for sale.

Yep.

I guess you're going to say God works in mysterious ways.

No.

But he does.

Faced us for a complaint by appointing to represent the defendant's state and

the objection of me probably.

No objections at this time, Your Honor. We ask for a preliminary hearing date of

August 14th. Leland Townsend?

Tell me you're my second chair.

Oh, no. Mr.

Townsend, I'm Henry Stick, and I have been retained as your counsel.

Are you kidding me?

Seriously, this is the best they could manage? You?

Oh, no, I assure you. I... Hold on.

Doctor 59036, Leland Townsend. Oh, uh, hello.

Hi. I'm here on behalf of, uh... Charge two counts of aggravated kidnapping,

unlawful imprisonment, assault in the first degree. Your Honor, the state

like to amend that complaint. The two victims imprisoned in Mr.

Townsend's residence have since died.

We intend to add two counts of murder in the first degree. And obviously, we

would argue against pre -trial release. Your Honor, this is a setup, accountant.

Lawyer, do the argument. Your Honor, this is a setup.

My client is a respected professional and has been attacked in

jail.

Pre -trial release tonight.

Talk at 543 -98.

Tell them I want a real lawyer.

I want the one. I know the 60 are coming to town. They need me. Oh, my God.

You're such a darling. Thank you so much for doing all that. You didn't have to,

really. I know.

So how far do you have to go?

Ryland.

Ryland? Like an hour away.

Did you drive?

No. I'll take an Uber back.

I miss them.

You miss Ubers? You don't have them in Ryland?

Let's have a last drink.

So what, are we sharing truths about Cheryl, or?

Truths about a lot of things.

Here we go. I don't love tequila straight. Yeah, I didn't either. I got

it. Just sip.

I like David.

Father Acosta?

Yeah, I mean, I like him too. He's a good priest.

He's also in love with you.

Why do you say that?

Because I can see it.

All right, let's change the subject.

Are you married? No.

You've been to Ryland before, haven't you?

Yeah, a few months ago, actually.

Particle accelerator.

Uh -huh.

How do you know?

It was news out there for a while. Really? Your investigation.

Huh. I didn't think it made any news at all.

Not then. A few years from now.

Turns out there's a chain reaction of many black holes which results in a

controlled wormhole.

Well, you should have brought that up when Ben was here. Ben the Magnificent.

You met?

I've known Ben for a while.

Really? He encouraged me to go into the field of cosmology.

I had no idea you guys were that close.

We were.

We are.

The thing about wormholes is they stretch space and time. So if you can

On a single event, like Cheryl's funeral, you can travel to it. Right. Is

about assessing? Because I'm kind of not... No, it has nothing to do with

assessing.

Six months from now, David is going to leave the priesthood and move in with

you.

I'm sorry?

Tomorrow, you're going to find out Andy's cheating on you and you'll

him.

This isn't funny.

I'm not trying to be.

Who are you?

I'm not Ellie.

I lied.

My name's Laura.

I'm your daughter.

I stepped into a wormhole in the particle accelerator and came back here

moment.

Mom, for me, this has happened already.

I'm from 30 years in the future, and I'm telling you, tomorrow you're going to

find out that Dad is cheating on you.

David loved you, and he is going to leave the priesthood for you.

All right, I don't care how much you've drunk, but I'm going to have to ask you

to leave.

Lynn is going to become a nun. She'll break your heart, but she will be the

happiest of your daughters.

Lila will get married, and her wife will be a speculator trading in something

that's like Bitcoin, but in a medium that doesn't exist yet. She will be

and she will take care of you. I need you to leave. You can call for an Uber

from the street. In another two years, I'll want to become an artist, but

convince me to get a degree? Go!

Mom, I am Laura. I am not lying.

I know I had heart surgery two years ago, and Dad tried to harm me before

injecting himself.

How can I know all of that if I didn't live it? Because you're insane.

Because I'm done.

Now, get out. Mom, Dad is cheating on you. You will be sad for 20 days, but

you will realize that you always loved David. Just so you know, this is

Whoever you are, using someone's emotions like this is wrong.

I'm sorry.

Now, get out!

Ma? Yes, dear.

Have you missed me?

Oh, I love these.

It's because of her.

The woman from the future. I forgot about her.

Good shit.

Your toes.

Wake yourself up.

Hey, anyone can say that from the future.

But then, how did she know all those things, right?

Just, just a little bit. Don't worry about Andy and his cheating.

I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Mommy's here.

Mommy loves you.

Rock -a -bye, baby, on the treetop.

Speak of the devil.

When the wind blows, the cradle will...

And this is my favorite part.

Yes, I know

what time it is.

Yeah, I'm his wife.

Look, if I'm calling at this hour, of course it's important.

Andy? Kristen.

How was the funeral?

What's going on?

What did he say?

What did who say?

Fox. I wanted to explain before he said anything.

Okay, so explain it to me now.

I have to go out for a few hours, and then I'll be right back.

Mom, you look nuts.

Yeah? Well, this is what I look like in the morning.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am, these are not visiting hours. I really don't want to get in my way right

now, lady.

I didn't want it to happen like this, Kristen.

Oh, my fucking God.

What did you not want to happen like this, dear?

I'm sick, okay?

And at a certain point, I'm gonna have more in common with somebody else who is

also sick.

We have children.

Five now!

It's not anything...

What do you mean five?

We have a son.

What? Oh, don't even start, asshole.

So who is this love of your life?

It's just someone I met across the hall.

Oh my, how romantic.

It wasn't intentional, okay? Nobody wanted...

Go on.

I'm all ears.

Kristen, you have been with David just as much.

Here's how this is going to work.

This place costs $20 ,000 a month. I'm not going to pay for $20 ,000 hand jobs

anymore. You want them, you can go to a bus stop. I don't want you calling me or

my daughter.

I don't want you out of here in a week.

Fill that pit. We're not even going to talk.

This was the talk. Nick talks with my lawyer.

Hey, hey, hey!

Fuck off!

No, no, no. I want the big guy. I'm not playing around with second string.

They want you to give me a chance. No, I've got to get out of here. If you

for another lawyer, it'll delay your release for a month.

Now, I've been researching what... The DA has against you.

He's got nothing on me. He's got biases.

He fired me from his department.

Well, he has two bodies.

And he also has a video by a person named Cheryl Luria that accuses you of

draining blood and brain matter from these bodies. She's a bitter, unstable

woman who killed herself to hurt me.

Here's what we need to do.

Insanity. No. We have you declared insane in court.

No. Then they send you to health services where we have some people.

And then you'll be prescribed some meds for your delusions.

You'll be out in a week.

Kurt Boggs. Dr. Kurt Boggs.

Um.

Who is that? Get him in here. He owes me. He'll be compliant.

What's wrong?

It's just someone from across the hall. Just a fellow psycho.

He's an idiot.

I've known him for 20 years.

And just like that...

How would you do it? Poison.

Maybe just let him get an STD and die in agony.

Where are the girls?

Homework.

And Dr. Boggs knows?

What was that about?

What? He thought Dr.

Boggs told me.

And that other lady?

What other lady?

The one at the memorial.

Ellie?

Did you talk to her?

Mm -mm. She said she knows you. She said... She said she's Laura

30 years from the future.

Laura, did you take the shirt off?

What? Yeah.

She said she's Laura from a wormhole in the particle accelerator.

What the hell?

She came back in time to tell me that Andy was cheating on me.

That's why I called him.

Okay, this lady, she came back from the future to tell you that your husband was

cheating on you. Yeah, and that David was going to leave the priesthood for me

and fall in love with me in six months.

That's a very weird reason to come back in time.

Yeah, I'd say.

It made as much sense as anything today.

But she was right, which is weird.

gonna do?

I've got five kids.

Thank you.

I better go check on them.

You're divorcing?

What did you hear?

Some woman from the future says you're divorcing. It's not some woman, it's me.

Me from the future.

Everything's about you. All right, listen to me.

That woman was nuts, okay?

She's obviously not you.

She didn't seem like a nut.

She didn't... Did you talk to her?

Yes, when we were changing Timothy.

That was her?

What did she say?

She said that I should go to NYU and be an artist. What'd she say about me?

She said nothing about you. Well, she's really you to me. I just met her.

All right, no, no, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Nobody comes from the future, okay?

That woman was just crazy.

Did you talk to her about your operation?

No. Did she know about it? Mom, how'd she know about Dad?

And what happened with Dad? Is Father Acosta our dad now? No.

No.

Look, Dad and I are just...

You know, we're having to rethink a few things.

That means divorce.

No.

Listen, I will always be honest with you. I promise. And at this moment, Dad

just... He just needs some time to figure out what it is that he wants.

But he doesn't want us.

So much.

So, so much.

That's terrible.

Yeah, you should go to her. No.

Why?

You're a friend.

And, you know, she needs, I don't know, some spiritual counseling.

That's not what you're talking about.

Oh, my God. Okay, you know what? Don't go.

Suddenly full of compassion.

Wear your collar and talk about Jesus.

Talk about the laying on of hands.

God, whatever your mouth is blasphemy.

Meet her in her office, away from the kids.

If she locks the door, you know what she wants.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

My kids are upstairs. Do you want to meet me in the office?

Ben told you?

How are you?

Angry, then sad, and yeah, then angry again.

Is there anything I can do?

I don't know. Being here helps.

Are the girls all right?

Yes and no. I mean, there's a lot happening.

Could you hold me?

Here we go.

Thanks for meeting me, Father.

As I understand it, you are the pastor of this parish now.

I am.

And as you know, I'm Aidan Flowers, the parish lawyer, and this parish,

unfortunately, is not doing well.

Black bluff.

Due to a financial situation that has arisen, you must close down the assessor

program.

The parish contributions should start up to pre -pandemic levels. There's only

enough money left for one more month, and then you must let the assessors go.

Ben Shakira.

Shakira. Kristen Bruchard.

It's my understanding our program is successful.

It's not about successful, it's not. It's about money.

It's about a parish going broke.

And we just move it to another parish.

No, the Archdiocese would rather terminate us.

They want a call center to answer questions about possessions. They feel

can handle more cases that way.

That's not a way to deal with possessions.

Nevertheless, you are now the pastor.

I need you to terminate Ben and Christina. They'll be paid through the

the month.

Well, that sucks.

Yep.

Does Kristen know?

No.

Felt like the wrong time.

Right after her mother died and Andy did what he did.

She's got five...

Kids, and now she needs to go find a job. Oh, my God.

Yeah.

I thought we were successful.

We were.

I don't think it matters anymore.

Up is down, and down is up.

Economically.

Okay.

I'm gonna go get drunk.

Should we call Kristen?

No.

It's too late.

Why are you a fucking priest, David?

Wow.

That's a way to put it. I mean, you and her, you're meant to be together.

Why God? Why this?

Ben, you don't understand.

No? Well, tell me. Inform me.

2 ,000 years ago, maybe Jesus lived.

Maybe he convinced people he was God.

What does that have to do with us now? It's the reason I know what's right and

wrong. You know what's wrong. You love her.

I heard you, too.

Hmm?

If I had two lives, one would be for God and one for her. What is wrong with

loving her?

You don't think I think about this every...

single day.

I am committed.

I am sworn here.

I am pledged to God.

And if that sounds like the Middle Ages to you, then fuck it. I am the Middle

Ages.

Because I am sick of all the broken promises in this world.

And all the other shit.

Evil.

Five minutes on this computer and I want to put my fucking head in an oven.

Or commit to something above it all.

I will not break this promise.

Even if it breaks me.

Even if I...

Who is it?

It's Ellie.

From the memorial.

Mom isn't here.

Do you know when she'll be back?

I don't. Maybe an hour?

I have a present for Timothy.

He isn't here either.

What about Lexis?

Nope.

Can I leave it with you?

Thank you for yesterday.

Why is your name Ellie if you're supposedly me?

Mom told you.

She thinks you're crazy.

What about you?

What grade did I get last year in social studies?

B -minus.

We call ourselves the B -minus students.

Why are you here?

From the future?

I had a warning for your mom, but I don't think she wanted to hear it Can I

your bathroom I had a long drive go ahead

Where were you?

Outside. Why?

Well, you are me.

Why don't you tell me?

I always liked that we had guts.

Why are you so interested in talking to Lexis?

Because I know what's going to happen in 20 years.

What's going to happen?

I think I should tell Lexis.

When I get bored, I like to stir up some excitement.

Could we cut this short, Doctor?

I have the same training you have.

I know how to trick the MMPI.

Well, if you have the same training as me, you know I have to establish a

baseline for truth. No, you don't. I'll tell you the truth.

Do you know why?

Because my best defense is that I am, in fact, insane.

Why do you say that?

Because I believe in the devil. I believe he is inhabiting me.

He has inhabited me since I helped organize a meeting of the 60 for the end

the month. Who's the 60? The demonic families that control evil in the world.

Every 28 years, they gather together to plan for the end of time. Well, if

you're insane, you should be committed to an asylum.

Yes. If, in fact, I weren't highly treatable, but with correct dosages of

zoprazidone and quetiapine, I should be right as rain in a fortnight.

That's for the course to decide. No, it's for professionals like you and me.

am not signing off on that. You will. You have too much to lose.

What do I have to lose?

The sale of your book?

Your practice?

Your life?

In order of importance.

Now, I have a question for you.

This is not your first prison interview?

For an insanity plea? No.

What other lawyer has hired you?

Good afternoon, Your Honor.

Leland Townsend has requested a substitution in representation.

I'm Justin Trapper from Shicklin Trapper. Yeah, I know who you are.

Mr. Townsend, you understand that this change in representation will delay your

insanity plea by several weeks, yes?

There's a chance I'll need you to testify, Kristen.

I'd love to. Yes, I do understand.

I have more faith in you.

Is everything all right? How about the last one? The trapper is actually

prepared and competent.

Where's the old Henry Twig? Where is he?

Stick.

Mr. Henry Stick.

Mr. Henry Stick.

To face it up, please.

I apologize for the delay, Your Honor. I was only informed of this hearing

minutes ago.

You understand that your client is requesting a change in representation.

Yes, Your Honor. I believe he is making this change in error.

I request a few moments to consult with my client.

Objection, Your Honor.

Not his client. Overruled. Let's make it fast.

You do not want to do this.

You're the evil coming to New York.

You change representation and I will eat your brains out of your skull

like soup.

Your Honor, I believe I was too hasty in my request. What the hell?

What did this shyster say to you? Your Honor, I am offended by this language.

I have done nothing wrong except promise Mr. Townsend I will represent him to

the fullest.

Well, this has been a waste of time. Great.

I'll schedule a competency hearing for next week.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Do not talk with me again.

That's all she said? She said she wanted to talk to Lexus.

Why me?

She said she knew what was going to happen in the next 20 years and she only

wanted to tell Lexus.

She didn't say anything about me? Lila, not everything is about you. Thank you,

Lynn.

Wait, Mom, it could be a bomb.

No, it's too late.

Boo! Oh, my God! Why would I lie?

Why?

My God.

Seriously.

Smells funny.

Oh, Mom, I almost forgot. I got her license plate.

Does that help?

My God, my kids are smart.

Yeah, Ben.

Um, uh, I'm gonna need your help.

Whoa, that was fast.

Hey. Super Secret Science League, some of the most brilliant minds in America.

Yeah, who have nothing to do.

Yes.

It's organophosphate.

What? Someone doused it.

The same nerve agent they used in South Africa during apartheid to kill

opposition leaders.

What did you find out about the car?

She stole it. It was reported missing three days ago. Come on, Kristen, pick

pick up. Why does she want to kill a kid?

I don't know. She's just... Just...

Just what? She's a time -traveling assassin from the future? Yeah, she's

Schwarzenegger. Kristen, call me back. That onesie you gave me, it's poisoned.

What the hell, Ben?

It's a long story.

How long?

Hey there.

Who is this?

Grandma?

Where are we going?

Where did you come from? Over there.

I came back with a warning, but your mother asked me to leave.

I think I'd better get back. I really need to talk to Lexis.

Can you get her for me?

Why?

You may not realize it now, but when Lexis is 35 and Timothy is 23, he will

bring about a battle that will destroy the world.

I need to talk to my mom. No.

I'm a good person.

I don't want to do this.

But I've been sent back to stop Lexis before she starts. Lexis hasn't started

anything. No.

But you of all people must sense there's something wrong with her.

Some evil inside her.

She has been appointed protector of Timothy.

Someone who will elevate him to the position of world leader. To lead armies

with his voice to destroy cities.

Millions of people.

You're crazy.

Mom! Please, Flynn.

Don't try to stop me.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mommy!

Where are you?

not to move your little toe.

What'll happen if you kill me?

Wow, Mom.

Good job.

You all right?

Listen, I called the cops.

Okay, that woman, Ellie, she's dangerous.

Yeah, Mom got her. Yeah, the ones that she got you, it was poisoned.

Thank you so much, officers.

Night. Well, they suggest I keep the doors and windows locked.

What a nightmare.

Where are the girls?

They went back to bed.

You should, too. I'll stay.

Oh, thanks. No, but I can't sleep now anyway.

It's almost morning.

Oh, Kristen, there's one other thing I didn't tell you. Ben, we should talk

about it later.

What?

Everything is a little messy right now.

Oh, no, it's not that.

What?

Nothing. What are you guys talking about?

The, um...

This stolen car license plate.

Yeah? I followed up on it.

Okay. And?

It belongs to a doctor, a psychiatric doctor at the Lexer Miller Institute.

One of the female patients stole it.

Oh, my God.

Miranda is?

That's how she knew everything about us.

She's fucking my husband.

Probably.

They left this morning.

They?

Your husband and someone else.

Ellie?

Yeah.

I took this from her. She kept watching it over and over.

I'm sorry.

Fuck them.

It's better that it's unambiguous.

What was the other thing?

What? The thing you thought Ben was going to tell me.

We'll talk about it later.

David, come on. You've got to tell me now. Otherwise, I'll just think you're

dying of cancer.

The church is ending our assessment program.

You're out of a job.

Yep.

You are my sunshine, my only

sunshine. You make me happy.

Please don't take my sunshine away.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make me happy when skies are gray.
