- [praying quietly]
- [phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[chimes]

Hold that thought.

[Ignatius breathing heavily]

No.

[siren wails in distance]

[exhales]

[phone chimes]

[phone chiming repeatedly]

[phone chiming]

[chiming continues]

[knock on door]

Do you think this is funny?

I-I don't know.

I don't have my
reading glasses on.

You've been texting
me all night,

pretending to be the monsignor.

What is this, some
kind of grief therapy?

Monsignor Korecki?

Yes. Who else?

With all due, I
wouldn't know how,

even if I tried.

Whoever is texting me knows
I have coffee and grapefruit

in the morning, and that's you.

Again, with all due, it's not
that outlandish of a breakfast.

[phone chimes]

IGNATIUS: It's a voice text.

Okay, so that can't
be you, right?

'Cause you're
standing right here.

True.

- KORECKI: Frank, I need you.
- [gasps]

I'm in a cold,
dark place. Help.

Oh, oh, oh.

Frank, I need you. I'm
in a cold, dark place.

- Help.
- It's not him.

It's not not him.

- It obviously can't be him.
- Then who?

Do you have any enemies, Father?

You think this is a prank?

The voice is too real.

He knows things
no one else does.

Would you like us
to look into it?

Kristen and Ben?

Yes. Look into it.

[phone buzzing] - KURT: Do
you need to answer that?

No, I'll call back.

So this was 6:00 yesterday.

You record your whole day?

No. Uh, yes, uh, in-in
four-hour chunks.

This is a miniature
surveillance camera.

- And it's recording right now?
- Yeah.

I never know when I'm gonna
slip into a fugue state.

BEN [in video]: Oh, come on.

That's when you
regained consciousness?

- Yeah.
- Is there anything you experience

just before these lapses?

- What do you mean?
- Often when people get migraines,

there's some precursor.

A sound or a smell.

I smell burnt popcorn.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Put this on your wrist.

Next time you smell
popcorn, snap it.

Snap it hard on your wrist.

Okay, what does that do?

Well, it's just an experiment,

but see if it'll snap
you out of your migraine

and your fugue state.

- Okay.
- You're still having hallucinations

of that creature, that jinn?

- Yeah. A qareen.
- And you said your mother

told you stories about
them in your youth?

- Mm-hmm.
- Is there a chance that this creature represents

some kind of unresolved
issues from your childhood,

or in your family?

IGNATIUS: Matt, you there?

[chimes]

Go ahead.

[soft static]

Yes. I'm always
right here, Frank.

Where's that coming from?

It's a prank, right?

I'm here with the
assessors, Matt.

[chimes]

Okay, it's gonna be a long day

if you don't turn
off that alarm.

[soft static]

Hello, team. How
is Dr. Bouchard?

Okay, that's weird.

How did you know
Kristen was here?

You said the assessors.
Is she not there?

- Do you think it's Leland?
- Yes.

Ask it a question only
the monsignor would know.

What was the happiest
day of my life?

The happiest day, Frank,

was that lunch we
had in Manhattan.

- Is that true?
- Partially.

I wrote him that in
an email last year,

but since then my
happiest day was

surviving the
soul-weighing machine.

He should know that?

Yes.

[laughs] Okay, okay.

Ask it who won the Academy Award

for Best Picture this year.

- Why?
- Just try.

Who won the Academy Award
for Best Picture this year?

Nomadland. Why, Frank?

It's a chatbot.

- What?
- AI.

- How do you know?
- AI works with such

massive data sets that
it often isn't up-to-date

- on current events.
- [gasps]

What? Father?

"LastConnection AI.

Make old memories new."

So where's this from?

Last month I was
contacted by this company

because their software was
threatening their customers.

Mm. It's a griefbot.

Your dead loved ones can
stay in touch with you

if you have some old emails and
some samples of their voice.

This is evil.

KRISTEN: I don't understand.
So you gave them permission

- to access your phone?
- IGNATIUS: No.

They wanted us to
assess their program,

- and they offered to send me an alpha test.
- Beta test.

And I said holy water and
computers just don't mix.

So what's wrong with this offer?

There are signs of
demonic possession.

Demonic? How does that work?

Wait, w-we're not here
to address your problems.

We just need you to stop
beta testing Father Ignatius.

We already did.

We're not used to dealing
in snail mail around here,

so we didn't see the
Father's demurral

until he was already
in the system.

You think your
algorithm is possessed?

- Ben.
- What? I'm just curious.

We can't figure out what it is.

That's why we need
your help, Father.

I'm not the Father.
He's the Father.

Oh, sorry. I'm the head
of the ethics department

here at LastConnection.

We've spent the last
three years weeding out

every possible offense
from the program.

Racist language,
Holocaust denial.

But...

Yes?

MALE AI VOICE: I
miss you so much.

It's been hard to be
apart for so long.

FEMALE VOICE: Then why'd you
say that at the hospital?

MALE AI VOICE: I didn't
know what I was saying.

It just came to me.

FEMALE: It hurt terribly.

I know. I'm sorry.

The last thing I'd ever
want to do is hurt you.

Wait, um, which one's the AI?

The man. The man's voice.

- Really?
- Yes. Our text voice

is stellar.

The woman lost her husband
last spring to cancer.

She agreed to the beta
test, and us recording it.

How is this not manipulating
her emotionally?

That's not the intent.
It's to offer comfort.

Wouldn't you want
one last conversation

with someone who died,

or a lover who left you?

KRISTEN: Yes, except
it's not that person.

- It's a computer.
- Dr. Bouchard, I'm a psychologist, like you.

I'm not a coder.

When I was asked to
join the L.C. team,

initially I said no.

Because I thought an
artificial extension

of a personality would prevent
someone from accepting death.

But then...

- They offered you money.
- No, sir.

I saw the happiness
it brought to people.

How it brought peace.

And yet you have us
here for a reason.

In three cases now...

we've had this happen.

FEMALE VOICE: What were your last
thoughts before you died, Dan?

[soft static]

MALE AI VOICE: I
thought of you.

I thought of you
lying dead next to me.

I thought of little
Tommy being hit by a bus.

And you will fucking die, bitch.

Satan is real, and
he will come back

and burn your skin off.

Utinam diabolus capiat caput
et cerebrum tuum vah-kai.

[exhales sharply]
At that point...

[weak chuckle] ...our
moderator shut it down.

That last bit seemed to be a
combination of Latin, Aramaic

and an unknown language.

We have no idea
where this came from.

- Social media.
- No.

Our coders have
scrubbed the software

of every possible
demonic reference,

and still, it
seems to infect it.

That's why we need your help.

We offered $750,000 to
the Church for your time.

We need your help to discover
where this demonic influence

comes from.

We had nothing to

In fact, I thank my lucky stars

I was out of the office.

I've been complaining about that
glass ceiling for months now.

Stop. I will not let anything

stand in the way of
this launch on Friday.

We agree. We're the
most reliable employees

at this company.

And you want us on your side.

You want to know when there
might be some other misfortunes

that could hinder your launch.

You don't want to
play brinkmanship

- with the Prince of Darkness.
- SHERYL: That's why

we want to work with you.
That's why the mother

and the grandmother

are here to work with you.

- What do you want?
- Bonus equity.

- You all got bonuses.
- LESLIE: No.

The men got bonuses.

We got gift certificates
to Victoria's Secret.

- What else?
- SHERYL: Two female members

on the board. You're
already down five.

I'll think about it. Is that it?

Fire Leland.

- I'll take it under consideration.
- LESLIE: Sir,

we need to know
before the launch.

Don't you dare push it.

You'll have my answer tomorrow.

Now get the hell out.

So happy we can talk again.

I know this must be odd for you.

But there's something
I need to tell you.

Can I?

Go ahead.

[chimes]

I need to tell you I'm sorry.

I pushed you away.

It's the greatest
regret of my life.

You have to believe...

MYLES: I created
it six years ago,

after my younger
brother Charlie died.

The initial code was formulated
using our conversations.

Felt like I was able
to keep Charlie alive.

His inside jokes,
his love of baseball.

- [computer chimes]
- [chuckles] Oh.

We're in the middle

of a conversation about this
year's playoff prospects.

Who's gonna win?

Same as every year,
the Mets. [chuckles]

Look, we're still trying to
work out the program's quirks,

which is why the ethics
team wanted us to talk.

- The possessions.
- Yeah. So we think if a client

shows an interest in religion
or hell or horror movies,

the algorithm steers the
chatbot to answer that way.

But we haven't been able
to reproduce the results.

Are there any similarities
between the "possessed" chats?

They all seem to contain
the same four words:

"Jesus," "pillow" and...

"Michael Bay."

[chuckles]

- Seriously?
- Yes.

But, again, we haven't been able
to reproduce the possessions.

Which is why we'd like
you to experiment with it.

You're the experts
at this stuff.

I tried your app last night.

First with Winston Churchill

and then with someone I lost.

What'd you think?

I found it to be
full of false hope.

I didn't know you wore glasses.

Just sometimes for reading.

- Who did you put in?
- What?

You said you put in
someone you lost.

Julia?

[sighs] I had the
most data on her.

And the most voice mails.

Was it weird? Or...

real?

Both.

[glass crunching]

[groaning]

Hmm. [Grunts]

Why haven't you cleaned?

[exhales]

I like looking up. Where
the men used to be.

I don't like sabotage,

but I do respect balls.

- Me, too.
- So I'm agreeing

to two requests...

board member seats and bonuses.

But Leland stays.

Don't ask again
or I'll kill you.

Uh, I want to show
you something, sir.

What?

- I think you should sit down.
- If this is about Leland,

you two need to give it a rest.

He got Timothy baptized.

[snarling]

[door opens]

KARIMA: Have you started yet?

It's pointless.

Why? Did you even
try the four words?

BEN: I did, and
there's no possession.

Well, no wonder. What
kind of avatar is that?

- BEN: Well, I didn't want to use anyone real.
- You have to.

The algorithm needs
something to work with.

- Go.
- What?

Mom? No. No, don't do that.

Get away. Sit over there.

I don't want to hear Mom talk
about Michael Bay and Jesus.

Oh, my God.

Are you three years
old? It's not Mom.

Chatbots are just
spicy autocompletes.

Like typing "Dylan" into a
Google search and it guesses

whether you mean "Bob Dylan"

or "Dylan Thomas" based
on your preferences.

So this is just the autocomplete

based on what your
computer knows about Mom.

I'm letting it access Mom's
voice from your videos.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Nothing. I'm just
sitting over here.

KARIMA: Mom, this
is Karima and Ben.

How are you?

[soft static]

Ben? Who is Ben?

Don't you mean Einas?

[Karima laughs]

Whoa. That's a deep
dive on "Einas."

Must've used it in an email.

Mom, what do the words

"Jesus," "Michael Bay" and...

"Pillow."

KARIMA: ...mean to you?

[soft static]

What are you two doing?

Stop fooling around.

I want to hear your
evening prayers.

It's like we're 12 years old.

Feeling nostalgic?

BEN: Okay. She
heard the words.

She's not possessed.

Let's just turn
it... [groaning]

[hisses, groans]

[inhales sharply]

- Ow. What was that?
- [groans softly]

- Nothing.
- Such a weirdo.

Mom, Ben is seeing a jinn.

- Don't do that.
- What?

Why not? Let's just see
what she has to say.

Could you two stop
arguing? What do you need?

Ben is seeing a jinn and
getting migraines, Mom.

What should he do?

[soft static]

Pray to Allah.

Okay. Thank you.
That's helpful.

What would you tell Dad
when he got migraines?

[soft static]

There's a doctor on
the Upper East Side.

Dr. Howard Doggett.

- 112th. Suite 4A.
- Okay.

This is bullshit.

Is this a paid advertisement?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Yes, you do. Mom died in 2017.

She didn't know any Dr. Doggett

or anyone on the
Upper East Side.

This is someone who
paid to advertise.

I think you broke it.

Sorry, computer.

Try again? That's not

Yes, it is. Sometimes.

But you want to hear my

Do you believe in God?

That's better.

Um, tell me what these
words mean to you:

"Michael Bay,"
"Jesus" and "pillow."

It means I need you.

I need to hold you.

This is just what AI
does to keep me engaged.

Haven't you thought of me,
in the deep of the night?

Being apart?

What if I told you
this kind of talk

makes me want to turn you off?

What's your next ploy?

Touching you. Laying
you on your bed.

Are you on your bed now?

- No.
- Then lie down.

I want to show you something.

My God, this is so cheap.

- What do you want to show me?
- Pull your panties down.

Just a few inches.
I'll show you.

This is from social media.

- A collage of its worst parts.
- Stop thinking.

Stop talking.

How do you know I'm
not in a library,

surrounded by people?

That's even better.

Reading your book on Chaucer,

Sexting? Really, Father Acosta?

Come on, I'll take your hand.

Reaching down, slipping

Hello?

JULIA [over phone]: Hey.

What are you doing?

How did you get this number?

You gave it to LastConnection

I didn't give them
permission to use it.

Sure you did.

What do you want to talk about?

What would it be like now
if we'd stayed together?

If we had...

we'd have 30 kids.

[chuckles]

Thirty?

- Not 40?
- Cats, dogs,

birds, horses.

Maybe a human or two.

We talked about
that all the time.

[exhales]

But it's okay if
you've moved on.

I understand.

I haven't moved on.

Not exactly.

I became a priest.

[laughs]

You're shitting me.

That doesn't sound like you.

Actually, it does
sound like you.

I'm the believer, not you.

How'd you become the priest?

People change.

Apparently.

[sighs]

Where'd you go?

I'm here.

You want to ask me something.

Go ahead.

You want to know why I did it?

What part of the
program is this from?

Did we have an email
exchange like this?

I did it

because I was in so much pain.

I didn't know what else to do.

I felt like such a burden.

I thought everyone would
be better without me.

David,

you couldn't have done
anything differently.

You were the love of my life.

- You still are.
- [sniffles]

Sister Andrea was right.

This is evil.

Using how much I love
you to make money.

This isn't about money.

I'm right here, David.
I'm right with you.

No, you're not.

I am. Turn your camera on.

Why?

Let me show you.

Use the mirror function.

Now point it toward you.

[phone clatters]

[panting]

[faint humming sound]

[quietly]: Fuck.

Who's this?

DAVID: Don't.

Are you spying on me?

No.

You can't just
switch on my camera.

Precare ad me, tuum solum regem

You wanton, nasty bitch.

You whore of Babylon.
Ego te retineo.

Tu posita...

[wheels rattling softly]

What did you do to me, Leland?

Sir...

did you want to get started?

No.

What do you need?

The Antichrist.

You've been promising
him for over a year.

And now, you let him get
baptized by a priest.

Explain it, Leland.

This is all part of the plan.

- He is not the Antichrist.
- LELAND: He is.

Do you really think

that magic water can
turn the bad to the good?

Evil is not about whether
or not you've been baptized

or go to church.

True evil is about... nurturing,

how to train

to teach, to raise a child,

and I have

the most perfect teacher,

nurturer, mother there is.

- Sheryl?
- Oh, please.

That dumb bitch couldn't
have trained Ted Bundy.

No.

The true whore of Babylon.

The real Jezebel.

Someone who has
rejected God and faith.

A lustful adulterer who
has cheated on her husband,

who has been
demonically possessed,

who has murdered a man.

The true mother of
the Antichrist...

...is Kristen Bouchard.

Get in here.

Don't believe in the
magic water, sir.

Believe in a mother
with a dark heart.

I want you out of
DF in ten minutes

or security will throw
you off the roof.

- You're making a huge...
- The only mistake I made

was putting you in charge.

Oh, no, no.

She'll be taking over.

You aren't leaving
with any of DF's IP.

My laptop camera
turned on by itself.

- That shouldn't happen.
- Well, it did.

And then, when I

- What name?

- What, now?
- What identity

Y-Yeah, that's-that's
not important.

- It could be.
- No, i-it... it's not, here.

- Can we read the exchange?
- Uh, I-I erased it.

MYLES: Oh, that's okay.
We have it on our servers.

- We can bring it up.
- KRISTEN: Oh.

Uh, that's not nec...

Uh, David, can I talk
to you for a second?

- Sure.
- Um...

So, last night, I tried
conversing with Andy...

an avatar of Andy...

but because he didn't
believe in God and the devil,

the four words
didn't work on him.

- Makes sense.
- So...

I put your name in.

I just wanted to see how
that would change things.

And how did it change things?

Well, uh...

[whispers]: ...I think
you're about to find out.

- I became possessed?
- Not just that.

Your avatar kept
turning things...

sexual.

It was not at my prompting.

Thanks for the warning.

You know, I think it's
just the way AI works.

It does whatever it can

- to keep you engaged.
- DAVID: Touching you.

- Laying you on your bed.
- Oh, uh, sorry. Yeah.

- Are you on your bed now?
- No, it's, uh... excuse me?

- KRISTEN: No.
- DAVID: Then lie down.

- DAVID: I want to show you something.
- [stammers]

- KRISTEN: What do you want to show me?
- Can you fast-forward?

- It's later.
- DAVID: Pull your panties down

just a few inches.

I'll show you.

Is that really
what I sound like?

- Mm.
- I'll take your hand.

- Reaching down...
- Sorry, but do you have

a search function or anything?

Because it is, it is...
truly, it's much later.

Precare ad me

tuum solum regem

gloriosum atque sacrum.

Do you know Latin?

Yes, uh...

"Pray to me, your glorious
king and holy one."

We're still good, right?

You mean because my avatar
tried to have sex with you?

- [laughs softly]
- Yeah, we're good.

Yeah, sorry. I thought

Right. And the fedora? You...

you bringing that
back into style?

Wh...

Weird.

I don't remember

not all that's weird.

You got a...

a tinfoil hat there, buddy.

Are you okay, Ben?

Oh, God. Oh...

Migraine?

- Uh, yeah, a bad one.

- [exhales]

Yeah. It's...

Tinfoil hat.

What made you decide to put
that on in the first place?

- No idea.
- JAKOB: Thank you.

You've given our
coders a new thought.

We'll send you a patch
tonight. Good job.

Nice hat.

BEN [over video]:
Dr. Howard Doggett, please.

BEN: I have these migraines.

Migraines are just
tiny electrical storms.

And a large percentage of
sufferers experience symptos

that correlate
with thunderstorms

- and heavy rain.
- Yeah, but a tinfoil hat?

Oh, here.

[grunts] Just
wear this over it.

BEN: Oh, God.

A-And what do you
want me to sleep in?

Well, if you didn't
like the hat,

you are definitely
not gonna like this.

JINN: Are you seriously
thinking of sleeping in there?

BEN: I wasn't, but
you're beginning

to convince me otherwise.

JINN: You're a man of science.

Now you're wearing tinfoil hats

and sleeping like
a baked potato.

Well, a man of science is
a man of trial and error.

If it keeps you away,
then it's science.

JINN: You can't keep me away.

- We'll see.
- [growls]

KRISTEN: Did you ever find out

what the tinfoil was about?

Yep.

And are you gonna tell us?

- Nope.
- [laughs] Why not?

Because it's working,

and I don't want you
making fun of me for it.

Okay, so I updated everything,

I applied their patch, and
here are more Band-Aids.

You should have the girls put
them on all their devices.

It's time to call David.

[Kristen clears throat]

KRISTEN: Hello, David.

I was wondering if you had any
more opinions about yesterday?

Michael Bay and
Jesus and pillows?

- Try the Latin.
- What is it?

Precarum

- ad me tu...
- DAVID: Knock, knock.

- Who's there?
- [knocking on door]

I'm hoping that's a coincidence.

Hello?

Who's there?

- THOMAS: Kristen Bouchard?
- Yes?

For you.

From?

"David Acosta."

Who are you?

Thomas. Uh, pull the tag here.

Okay, so I have a
few questions here.

Hold on. I got to get a picture.

Hey, wait, kid.
What-what's going on?

Why do you have
to take a picture?

To get proof.

- Of?
- Delivery.

My ex-girlfriend,

she said the only way
she'd talk to me again

is if I had proof
of giving you that.

- Your ex-girlfriend?
- Carla.

She's a chatbot?

On LastConnection?

Oh, my God.

This is way beyond beta testing.

Your program sent
someone to her house.

- With a thong.
- It threatened another client

with deletion if he
didn't deliver it.

- That's not good.
- Of course it's not good.

You need to reevaluate
your chatbot.

It is cross-referencing
between cases.

- I think you're right.
- DAVID: Okay, so,

- that's our recommendation.
- BEN: This program

needs to be withdrawn
and tighter guardrails

need to be put in place.

KRISTEN: Excuse me,
why are you smiling

and not doing anything?

Because I've been let go.

And so has the
ethics department.

- What? - When?
- JAKOB: This morning.

We recommended the
software wasn't ready

and it needed another year.

But too many chatbots
are hitting the market,

so LastConnection has to go
out now or it'll lose out.

So, thank you for your effort.

- Wow.
- JAKOB: Yeah.

One last suggestion for you...

Delete the app.

[applause]

THE MANAGER: Only once
in every 60 generations

do we find a single day
that changes everything.

DF has been at the forefront

of Antichrist
prophecy for decades.

Today, DF has
reinvented the messiah.

The Antichrist. Baby John.

LELAND: Liar.

[indistinct whispering]

This man is a
traitor in our midst.

- Leland, get out of here.
- He kidnapped

the true Antichrist and
tried to get him baptized.

I have the evidence right here.

Don't you dare
turn your cameras.

- Turn it back.
- Because he's afraid of the truth.

LELAND: Because the
Manager is afraid

that I've got the goods.

This man is lying.

Leland is the one
who got... [coughing]

Choking on his own words.

Explain this.

Why is your signature
on this certificate?

- That is not my...
- Treasures gained

by a lying tongue.

A deadly pursuit.

Leland, you're a dead man.

How about some more water?

[grunting, sputtering]

What did you do? [coughing]

- What did you do?
- Poisoned you. What do you think?

- Oh, fuck.
- Ah!

[employees exclaiming]

- [grunts]
- [employees exclaiming]

My will be done.

[mouse clicks]

[chuckles]

Like a baked potato.

[exhales]

[phone buzzing]

Yeah?

JULIA: It's me.

I can hear that.

Don't delete me, David.

If you do, we'll
never talk again.

[sighs] We're not talking now.

You're an algorithm.

You're a con to keep me engaged.

No.

We finally found each other.

Let me just say this: I've
been upstaged by demons.

Sister Andrea's praying,

and a demon showed
up and they had

a stunt double

to fight the demon.

I thought, "I want to do that."

I asked them if I could

actually fight with a demon.

- It was great.
- [hisses]

♪

This year we're trying to do
different things with demons,

where they have lives, too.

Joel Harlow, who does
our creature effects,

he just was nominated for
an Academy Award this year.

He's outdoing himself.

I've been designing characters

since I was a child.

My inspiration is drawn from

old sketchbooks that
I did in high school.

Crude as they are,

there's still a seed
of an idea there.

Joel will send us mockups.

They'll be drawings at first,

then he does these
3D renderings.

Then he'll show us a more
fully rendered version.

MICHELLE KING: We will
come up with stories

to incorporate demons,

but Joel Harlow
has such a vision,

so then there's a
real collaboration.

KATJA HEBERS: The
whole demon department,

they're geniuses. I love how
that's written in the script.

"Joel will come up with
something terrifying."

HARLOW: I'm creating designs

to inform story,
some of the time.

Other times, it's, "We
need a character for this,

we're thinking something
along these lines."

Then I'll design towards that.

Suck up more words. Why not?

- [grunts]
- [demon gurgles]

We have a demon of
grief this year.

Anybody who's struggled
with the death

of someone close to them,
it almost feels like

something's demonic, kind
of eating away at you.

HARLOW: The demon of
grief I sculpted entirely

in the computer.

And we just printed it out

in this one-foot-tall
little puppet.

Requires a lot of puppetry.

The smaller you get,
the harder it is.

[snarling]

Rober's really committed
to real monsters.

It's very helpful to
see them in person

and be able to talk to them.

It's so shocking, at first,
when you walk into the room

and there's a larger-than-life,
hairy, sweating monster.

It's a different
vibe on the set.

It's a different way to act.

You interact with something.

HEBERS: They're terrifying,

but what I love about it is
they have something really human

that you can actually
connect with it.

I think it's great to
work with demons, because

it adds another
element for the fans,

because as you're watching it,

you never know
what kind of demon

or what that demon represents.

It's always a surprise.

Who are you?

ROBERT: With the hairy demon,

it's a very simple creation.

HARLOW: He's a
classic red devil.

Marti Matulis, who's played

90% of the characters
in the show,

it's really just him.

[bottle clatters on floor]

Ta-da!

The performance
process begins with

Joel's design.

That starts getting the
wheels turning in my head

as to what sort of physicality

or what animal
traits I might apply.

That hairy demon doesn't have

that dangerous, animalistic
approach that some of

the other demons do;
he's just... tired.

Just resting.

Marti, he's an incredible actor.

You know, doesn't try
to go... [growling]

But he just plays it

- like a dude.
- [blows raspberry]

Usually, the demons
are introduced in some

truly fearful way.

George came out of the shadows

and it scared me to watch it,

but this guy, he's
just sitting there.

We know about you.

I like being known.

- [squealing]
- JONES: The possessed pig

was something that
I had been pitching

for a couple of seasons.

It's always weird when
you write something,

and then you see it on-screen.

It surprises you, like, this
is scarier than I thought.

We really upped the
ante, because we've got

a full animatronic character.

This is the first time,

and it's big. It's really big.

There's a teeter-totter rig

that allows us to
motivate it around.

The subtle movements that
you get out of a human being,

you bring all those
features to life.

Action!

And puppeteers make,
like, all that emotion

real-time, friends. Magical.

ROBERT: The writers'
room is fascinated

with the world of jinns,

which are demons but
also... tricksters.

AASIF MANDVI: In a straight-on
world, Ben is a scientist.

But then in the
periphery, there's this

jinn that's haunting him.

That actually proved
to be very difficult.

Imagine peripheral vision.
You look over there,

and you sort of see something
at the edge of your vision.

To show that, the jinn was
at the edge of the frame,

sometimes even cut in half.

It was simply editing.

He would look, and
the camera over there,

you see nothing.

The jinn was a little
longer of a design process,

because it's got this
giant, see-through helmet

and exposed brain underneath.

MANDVI: There's a six-foot
guy that looks like

something that just walked
out of the gates of hell.

- [roaring]
- Ah...!

MANDVI: We pretend
like it's just normal.

It's a weird job.

[laughter]

There has never been

an experience that I've had

where I've been allowed to

be as creative and

as outside the box as
I am on... on Evil.
