All language subtitles for Evil.S01E03.WEBRip.x264-ION10

You're training
to be a priest?
I am.

Also, an assessor.

My colleague Ben and I
are hired

by the Church to investigate

[growling] unexplained phenomenon,

and to recommend whether

there should be an exorcism
or further research.

Possession looks a lot
like insanity.

Insanity looks a lot
like possession.

I need someone to help me
distinguish between the two.

I don't believe in all that.

Devils and possession.

DAVID:
That's okay.

KRISTEN: You don't care
that I don't believe?

I do not.

CORMIER: We came into
an opportunity overnight.

Another forensic psychologist. You're just gonna overturn

everything I did
on those two cases?

Argue to release the guilty,
imprison the innocent?Yeah.

Here's the most important thing to remember about David:

he sells himself
as this good man,

but ask him about
the second time he saw God.

KRISTEN:
This guy Townsend,
you know him?

DAVID:
I've seen him.
In other... guises.

I'm sorry. Am I
distracting you?

DAVID:
There are six types
of possession.

First is demonic possession.

It's when a demon takes over
a person's body

without their consent.

It's what you see
in most movies.

It involves
speaking in tongues,

sudden personality changes,
sudden violence,

even superhuman strength.

The next type of possession
is physical pain.

This is a sickness
or an injury due to a demon

being inside a person.

It doesn't impact the soul,
just the body.

The third
is diabolic oppression.

This is when a demon torments
a person,

causing tragic events
in their lives--

the loss of a loved one,

the loss of a job,

a home.

Basically, the story of Job.

The fourth type of possession
is diabolical infestation.

It's when demonic entities
take over a house,

an object,

even an animal.

Fifth is diabolical
subjugation.

It's when the possessed
invites the demon

into their lives.

They do this through game play

or pledging their soul
to the devil.

KRISTEN:
That's a real thing?

People pledging their souls?

It's real in that if a human
wants power,

they can trade away their future
for that power.

Oh, so you mean it
as metaphor?

No, I think a lot
of what we consider

metaphor is real.

Are you texting?

No, I'm taking notes.

Um, and the last
kind of possession?

That's why we're here.

The monsignor wants us to look
into a case

of diabolical obsession.

It's when a person has constant,

overwhelming
and irrational thoughts,

making them act
in perverse ways.

It's hard to detect because
it's the most

highly functional
of all the possessions.

But it can lead to
suicidal ideation.

And murder.

KRISTEN: I mean,
couldn't all these conditions

have a psychological
explanation?

Sure. That's why you're here.

Ready?Yep. I'm ready.

He wasn't like this before.

I mean, he's always been
hard on us, cruel even,

but he's become... violent.

I don't know what to do.
We've tried everything:

therapy, pills,So-- Sorry,
I-I don't understand.

Is this your husband?Oh, no.
He's my boss.

KORECKI:
Patti is one of our
best parishioners.

I told her we could
look into it.BEN: So you think your boss

is possessed?

I think he does things
he can't control.DAVID: Such as...?

I said to charge it overnight!

This is a lemon poppyseed!
I said blueberry!

[shouts]
I hate fine point!

Medium heavy!

Well, he's fired 67 assistants
in the last six months,

and I have a collection
of cell phones because

he's constantly throwing them.

Patti, I understand
this is unpleasant,

but this doesn't sound
like possession.

It feels like you should be
calling human resources.

Yeah.Well, we're under 50 employees.
We don't have an HR.

Why don't you quit?Well, I hired all
the assistants,

and I feel responsible.

I mean, I believe
in the work.

DAVID:
What is the work?

I work for Byron Duke.

The Broadway producer?Yes.

Oh, my God. He's great.
My daughters and I,

we saw the Roald Dahl
musical last year.

It was just-- it was amazing.Thank you.
I could get you tickets

for the next one
if you want.

Oh, I would want.
That would be great.

Yes, please. Please, yes.

So you can see why
this matters to me.

He's a genius.

Yeah. He is.

I mean,
he's always had issues,

but six months ago,
something happened.

He lost the Tony
and he became angrier.

And then things started
to happen.

DAVID:
What kind of things?

Show them the video.

BYRON:
No! Oh, go to hell.

I said go to hell!

No! No, we have got a deal
with the estate, not with you.

[stammers]
What is that?

What is that?KORECKI: Blood.

He's sweating blood.

PATTI:
Also, whenever he enters the
office, it gets colder.

The temperature drops,
like, ten degrees,

and we all have
to wear jackets.

And I keep on checking the
thermostat but it's unchanged.

And then when he leaves,
it gets warmer again.

Two physical manifestations.

We only need two
for the Church to act.

[phone vibrating]

Fiona, hi, it's Kristen.
What's up?

They reversed you.They? Who?

This new forensic psychologist.

He reversed your conclusions.

I thought this was settled
weeks ago when you testified.

You said my son was too young
to be tried as an adult!

Well, he is. He's only 15.

This new guy's
saying the opposite!

They're gonna
crucify him, Kristen.

Please help me.

Okay, I'll see you
in ten minutes.

It's a case of anger
management, Monsignor.

Not possession.

KORECKI:
Then you'll
find that out.

You said yourself,
the Church keeps

focusing on Evil
with a capital "E,"

and not everyday evils.

Well... here's
everyday evil.

Help her.

CORMIER:
So it's your recommendation

that Adam Plemmons should be
tried not as a minor,

but as an adult?Yes. The defendant's score on

the MMPI-A questionnaire
reflected average

or above average
cognitive functioning.[door opens]

I have to ask you,
Dr. Townsend,

because if I don't,
the defense attorney will.

Your findings are diametrically
opposed to those

of the previous
forensic psychologist.

How do you
account for that?

I cannot account for
my predecessor's conclusions.

I do know that
she has a tendency

to let her heart lead her head,

and I think that she was moved

by the mother
of the accused.

♪

Ms. Jacobs.What do you need?

I want to help.It's a little
late, isn't it?

The judge
already ruled.

Tell them you have
a rebuttal witness.

You're bound by your agreement
with the D.A.

You can't testify.I'm not testifying

about the case; I'm testifying
about Dr. Townsend.

[overlapping chatter]

Look, I promised to give you
20 minutes so Patti

doesn't drop a #MeToo
dime on me.

[chuckles]So you think you're vulnerable
to the #MeToo issues?

I didn't say that.

Hey, there's a reason
Harvey Weinstein went down.

I-I don't use sex,
and I'm much more talented.

Who's this?

Kristen Bouchard.

Ah, if you're really
Patti's church people,

say some prayers,

sprinkle some holy water.
Come on, get going, get going.

DAVID:
Is that what
you want?

What I want is for you
to get this over with

so I can roll my calls, huh?

Do I have anger issues?
Maybe.

But I'm a perfectionist.
I-I'm a demanding person.

And I am surrounded
by millennial nonentities.

Here, look, look.

Two spaces after
every period.

How many times do I have
to tell them, one!

Does it matter?Everything matters.

Perfection matters!

Patti said, uh, something
changed six months ago,

when you lost an award.

An award? Oh, holy God!
The Tony!

So, you didchange.No.

I decided that, uh,
rule number 14 made sense:

"Be volatile and torture
your underlings."

Rule number 14 of...?

"The 53 Rules of Dominance."

Ah. Oh, now...

now we are getting somewhere.

You follow it, too, huh?

I know it.

A manual for
hard-driving executives.

"How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Caring."Mm-hmm. Well,

if you know it,
then you know it's not evil.

And what Patti,

in her sweet little
religious heart,

thinks is evil,
is just plain

good sense.
[chuckles]

You're kind of making
me nervous back here.

You got some blood
on your collar there.

BYRON:
What are you,
a dry cleaner?

Go sit down.You're sweating blood.

Why are you sweating blood?What the hell
are you talking about?

DAVID:
Did you have that
checked out?

It doesn't need checking.[chuckling]: Oh, my God.

[laughs]
He's going bald.

Get the hell out of my office!

He has hair plugs.
They've become infected,

so he should go
to a doctor.

And otherwise,
he's got

a narcissistic
personality disorder.

DAVID:
We'll point you toward some
health professionals,

but we don't see any
signs of possession.

Patti?

[Byron shouting over video]Can you look at this?

No!I have access to his
webcam so I can track

his blood sugar levels
during meetings.

God, this is your fault!

KRISTEN:
Who is he talking to?

BYRON:
They know it's you!

This is going on
right now?PATTI: Mm-hmm.

It's in his inner office.

[Byron groaning over video]

[groaning, gasping]
No!

Let go!
Let go or I'll kill you.

Damn you, Joe!

♪

A diabolical obsession?We don't know. He seems like
he's just a bad boss.

But we saw him yelling
and fighting with something.

But we don't know what.

Did you have a health care
professional there?Yes.

She thought it was narcissistic
personality disorder,

but then she saw the
video of him fighting.

She's not sure.

So there's video.No, just a webcam.

[sighs]Not recorded.

Well, then record it.

I've got three exorcisms
in the next two weeks.

I'll need evidence
to justify work

on a mere diabolical obsession.

Understood.

David.

Come here.

There's something else.

I had another vision.

What?

I've been hearing
about "the sixty."

In assessments.

It's some kind
of coordination.

Evil becoming organized.

And I thought I saw
something in my vision.

But now it's just a feeling.

Write it down.

Get a notebook, and write down
everything you can remember.

Everything.

As soon as you
write down the first thing,

the next will follow,
and the next.

Symbols matter.

This is warfare,

and we're fighting
the worst enemy on earth,

whose only vulnerability
is that they reveal themselves

in symbols and numbers.

They can't help it.

God draws
in straight lines.

The devil draws in puzzles
and anagrams.

Write it down?

Write it down.
Visions matter.

LELAND:
Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

Yes. Sexy.

No, no,

What does he even mean,

"We reveal ourselves
through symbol and anagram"?

I hate anagrams.
I like straight talk.

Don't you, David?

Can't we, you and I,
just straight talk?

[laughs]

Anger management.
We all get angry.

But when you feel
a temper fit coming on,

what do you do?

Personify it.

Personify your anger.

This is Paul.

He's the personification
of my anger.

Whenever I get angry,
I blame him.

[audience laughs]

I know, I know, but it works.

I take a deep breath,
and I realize I'm not angry,

Paul is angry.

And I subdue him.

I yell, "Paul, it's your fault.
Yours!"

I even take Paul by the throat.

Paul, you will not control me.

I will control you.

Kristen.

Thank you for returning, Doctor.No problem.

Um...

Mr. Townsend--

excuse me, Dr. Townsend--

it's already been established
that you disagree

with the conclusions
of your predecessor.That is correct.

And I see she's
in court right now.

Could you point her out?Yes.

Um, Kristen Bouchard.

CORMIER: And why shouldn't we
take her word over yours?

Objection! This was covered
in yesterday's testimony.

Yes, but we have new
evidence the doctor

would like to impart,
Your Honor.

Yeah, it's a pretrial
hearing, Ms. Jacobs.

You'll have time to cross.

Were you not
passed evidence

that made you question
Ms. Bouchard's legal ethics?

Yes, I'm sorry to say.

Ms. Bouchard is in therapy

for... personal issues.

But an anonymous Good Samaritan
sent me therapy notes...

Objection!
Therapy notes

are covered
by physician-patient privilege.

CORMIER:
Only if Ms. Bouchard

is the accused.

She's being proposed

as an expert witness,
Your Honor.

Her reliability is in question,
and these notes

undercut
that reliability.

All right,
let me hear the evidence,

and then I'll rule.

CORMIER:
Thank you, Your Honor.

If I put you on the stand,
what are you gonna say?

That Adam should be tried
as a juvenile.That's not what I'm asking,

and you know that's
not what I'm asking.

Look, I've said things in
therapy that are personal and...

prospective-- they weren't true.

They were potentialities.But you said

that you were attracted to these
people that you interviewed?

I said I had feelings.
I mean, feelings as in I...

I care for them, I...

like them.Okay.

So I need you to step back
from this.

I can refute Dr. Townsend.

No. You've been burned.

I need you to step back.

DAVID:
We saw you yesterday yelling

BYRON:
I don't know a Joe!

You're gaslighting me.
You got to stop.

You're personifying your anger.

What?

You gave your anger

and you're trying to subdue it.

It's an anger management tool.

BYRON: I have no idea what
you're talking about.KRISTEN: Listen,

admit it's anger management.

Who the hell are you, lady?

Somebody who enjoys your shows,

but thinks you're being

JOE:
I am the buyer of souls.

And yours only cost a Tony.

Joe?

JOE:
Hello.

Someone is hacking him.You're sure?

This is my world.
Welcome to it.

It's a virtual assistant.

It's supposed to have
a programmed voice,

but the hacker is broadcasting
from the outside interactively.

Can a thermostat
also be controlled?

Yes. Yes. Yes, because it's got
smart-home technology,

so it can make the temperature
go up and down.

Th-That's why it keeps getting
cold every time he arrives.

Who did this?And the problem is,

he's got a lot of enemies.

KRISTEN:
67 fired assistants
over six months.

Look, I think the hacker
is using the Wi-Fi, okay?

I need you to keep him online.

I'm gonna find out his IP.

DAVID:
Hello?

JOE:
Hello.

What do you want?

JOE:
What do you want?

You've gone to great effort
to talk to Mr. Duke.

So what do you want
from him?

JOE:
What do you want from him?

You know it's an easy thing
just to turn you off.

JOE: It's an easy thing
to turn you off.

Okay.

JOE:
It won't matter.

We don't need an "on" button.

Who's "we"?

That's for me to know
and for you to find out.

So you've been turning
the thermostat down

when Mr. Duke enters
the office?

Yes. And I control
the sun and the moon.

Very clever of you
to figure that out.

[knocking]

It's coming from the
coffee shop downstairs.

I need you to go down there,
and in about five minutes,

I'm gonna emit a
high-pitched tone into it.

Let me know who reacts.Okay.

You must want something.

Fun. Isn't that what
we all want, David?

You heard my name?

"Diabolical obsession," huh?

It sounds made up.

So you don't think Mr. Duke
is diabolically obsessed?

No. I think you're
diabolically obsessed.

BEN: How many people are
on computers?

About... 20.

Any gamer headsets?One.

And, uh, earbuds?Seven.

No, wait. Eight.

Okay, focus on them.

[loud, high-pitched tone]

[high-pitched tone over phone]

Nothing.

No reaction.

JOE:
Ah. 105 decibels.

I'm terrified, Ben.

Hold on.

So, have you
been investigating us?

You seem to know our names.

I'm gonna turn off the Wi-Fi
for about 15 minutes.

Well, we don't know.

Mr. Duke has fired 67 assistants
over the last year,

his virtual assistant.

So then,
we're moving on?

AMARA:
David?

You seem uncomfortable.

Well, our tech advisor
can't tell

who or how the device
was hacked.

And the voices that are coming
out of it are, um, bizarre.

[choral music playing faintly]

It's odd, David living here.

Yeah. Doesn't seem
like him, right?

[door opens]

[David sighs]

They want us
to keep working on it.

Yes.Any thoughts

on how the hacker did it?Oh, yeah.

I think he's using
Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.

So, I am gonna try
to reverse the hack

with a trap.

Hmm. Just be careful.

Okay, but why? About what?

Well, I don't know
what we're dealing with.

[chuckles]

We're dealing with a hacker.

Little side hobby here?

[chuckles] No, I'm trying
to decipher something

in my dreams.

Can I ask you
a personal question?Sure.

Do the scandals bother you?

[laughs softly]

You mean the Church scandals?

Yes. A lot.

But how can you...

Why become a priest?

I believe in God.

And I believe God wants me
to become a priest.

And their treatment of gays?

Do you agree with that?

No.

Does this bother you,
talking about it?

No.It's just,

there's so many things
wrong with the Church.

That's...That's one of the reasons

we need good people.

And you don't mind...

...all that it requires of you?

[chuckles]

I mind.

But I also think that the most
important things in life

are the hardest to obtain.

Sometimes I just wonder
what you're about. Uh...

I-I was embedded
with six Marines.

And I was surprised

how much I... loved them.

Their sense
of commitment.

You know, I spent most of my
life breaking commitments.

Moving from one place
to another,

one person to another.

And I realized I
didn't like myself.

These guys were
the first ones in the building

and the last ones out of it.

And I wanted to be that.

I wanted that level
of commitment.

I was just, uh,
turning the light on.Yeah.

I was gonna
leave anyway.

I-I like talking to you.

Me, too. With you.

Yes, with my priest.

How do you broadcast from this

for a Bluetooth signal.Cellular.

Nope, it's not
cellular-enabled.

Can be adapted.

Really? How?

I hate how you do this.

I am in the middle of my work

How can it be adapted?

Adult prison will mold the man
he is to become.

Harden him, harden his heart,

make him more...

susceptible.

Susceptible to what?

Ask David.

I want my therapist's notes
back. The ones you stole.

Oh, I think not.

They make for such
wonderful bedtime reading.

Why don't you just get back on

Look, if you don't want to,
it's totally...No, no, I...

You can just create
a conversation?

No, I-I wouldn't be creating it,
I would be recreating it.

Look, it's-it's a conversation

that you had and you lost,
and now you just want it back.

If the ethics
of this throw you...

No, no, I-I want it. I just...

Yes, please do it.

Sebastian Lewin.

Yeah. What's the problem?

That depends.

I was just teaching
him a lesson.

Yeah? By hacking
his virtual assistant?

Yeah. He didn't pay for my work,
so I used his cell phone

to slingshot my voice
onto his machine.

You convinced him
to pledge his soul?
Yeah.

And he believed me. [chuckles]
What a moron.

So, uh, how'd you hack
my virtual assistant at home?

What are you talking about?

Your voice--
it was on my dad's machine.

No.

[chuckles]
Yes, it was. I heard it.

No, I stopped a few days ago.

[Joe speaking Urdu]

I don't believe you.JOE: Yes, you do.

Iblis has your baby.

[speaking Urdu]

[baby crying]

What is that about?

Karima.

What is that about a baby?

Karima!

Mr. Duke, I am so sorry.

This is
a lemon poppy seed,

and I'm not sure
how that happened...

No, no, no, leave it. I'm fine.

But it's lemon poppy seed.Yes.

I'm expanding my horizons.
Leave it.

You know, this experience has...

Changed me? Oh, God, I hope not.

Oh, whoops,
used the Lord's name in vain.

Do you want me to start
rolling calls?

Please.

Sure.

No, he's been good.
Very good, actually.

I'm glad, but call the monsignor
if you have any more issues.

I will. Yes. Oh, and can you
tell your partner

that I have five tickets
for her for the new play?

Thank you all.

It's been a breath
of fresh air here.

He hasn't fired anyone.

He's even talked
about hiring

some of the other
assistants back.

Yes. I don't know what you did,

but it's a whole new world
around here.

[chuckles]

Ah, Dr. Townsend.

Would you return
to the stand, please?

Of course, Your Honor.

JUDGE:
A reminder, Doctor,

you are still
under oath.
May I,

Your Honor?

LELAND [over recording]:
Ah, Kristen.

Can't stay away from me,
can you?

What do you want to say?

KRISTEN:
Why are you doing this to Adam?

What good could
it possibly do you?

LELAND:
Adam is a lightweight of clay
yet to find its form.

Real prison will help mold him
into a man.

It'll harden him.

Do you recognize those words?

That is your voice,
Doctor, isn't it?

Again, Your Honor, objection.
This is a secret recording.

Yes, and we are in
a one-party state,

and we are using it to rebut

an expert witness,
Your Honor.

Yes, Mr. Cormier, this is merely
a pre-trial hearing.

JACOBS:
Dr. Townsend, is
this your voice?

It is not.
Really?

Well, what about this?

KRISTEN:
Why don't you just
get back on the stand

and tell the truth?

LELAND:
What are you trying to do,

play on my better nature,
Kristen?

Seriously.

Is that really your plan?

KRISTEN:
Look, he's just a kid.

LELAND:
The second prison rape,
and he won't be anymore.

So, Mr. Townsend,
what do you mean by that?

That's Dr. Townsend.

Thank you, Kristen.

Still a long way to go.

At least we have
a fighting chance now.

Yes.

Thank you so much.

A deepfake-- how very modern.
Those are my tools.

What did Shakespeare say?

"To do a great right,
do a little wrong."

Technology's a bitch.

You know the next line?

"And curb this cruel devil
of his will."

There are forces in play,
