Hey, Miles!

Assholes booted us without any notice.

Can you believe that?

Anyway, I was able to move all of

our equipment into the storage unit.

Thank you for the help with the move, by the way.

But we're only paid up until the end of the month, so...

Oh, shit.

How was it?

Ugh. It was on the verge of splitting.

Couldn't banish it.

But I contained it.

In what?

Well...

Your flask?

It was all I had.

We don't have a place for that right now.

Unless you like what you see.

Ah. Just what do we have here?

So, um, single bedroom, kitchen bath, simple enough.

There are ten churches within a mile of here.

A Catholic, one synagogue, and a mosque.

Not to mention a shit ton of activity

-in need of our attention. -Hmm.

What do you think?

Jesus.

Beggars can't be choosers.

-Says who? -Hey, Mr. Lewis.

I'm Pin. This is Miles.

Yeah. Well, this is the place.

Rent's due on the first.

We're month to month, so if you're gonna bail,

I need two weeks' notice.

Or I'm keeping a deposit.

What's this floor made of?

I don't know. Wood?

Looks like cedar.

What, are you contractor or something?

Cedar is good.

Why is cedar good?

Well, cedar draws off the elements of sun and fire.

It's used for influence and purification, strengthens

psychic powers, and often used as a tool for healing.

You know, it really offers excellent protection.

I mean, cedar is naturally resistant

to pestilence and rot, and it's associated with

wisdom and strength, and these qualities

really aid the user in lifting the veil

upon our society, you know?

Cedar is good. It's really good.

No drugs in here.

This ain't no crack house.

Yes, sir.

Last tenants complained about a smell.

We checked the walls, but we didn't find nothing.

Probably just a dead rat or something.

-Not that we got a rat issue. -[burst of music]

Smell won't be a problem.

We have a long list of places we need to see.

Are you fixed on cost?

I ain't gonna haggle with you.

But you can't keep a tenant in here longer

than a couple of months, can you?

Well, no.

We'll take off $500 from the deposit,

and we'll pay six months' cash.

Up front?

-Fine. -Pin.

last week, and there is some dark

Yeah? What's your reading say about me?

You don't wanna know.

[Vera] You've seen him before?

[Elma] No.

Think I'll introduce myself later.

Oh, God, he's not ready for that.

-They're always ready. -Hey, guys.

-Hey. -What's going on?

I don't know.

I think that guy's either an interior decorator,

or, like, a family therapist.

I saw him show up, and Kyan and Bria were

all hot and bothered about something.

Now they're all giddy or some shit.

No, he's a priest or something.

Kyan was saying her grandmother's ghost has been

visiting too often, and now they have to,

you know, get rid of her.

Yeah. Okay.

You don't believe in that stuff?

[Vera] No. That's stupid.

[Elma] Well, you don't live next to her.

I'm sleeping with my light on.

What about you, Clara?

You think we got ghosts around here?

I don't know.

Got a lot of work to do.

I don't really have time to think about ghosts.

Boo!

Jeez.

Very funny.

I hate her.

Well, at least she keeps things interesting.

[Clara] I think I'll get it.

That's great! Oh, Clara, congrats.

You've worked so hard. It's about time.

Yeah. Yeah, it's good.

If it's overwhelming, you could...

No, no, no.

Uh, it's great. Really.

Have you seen Dr. Min recently?

Um, no. Not really.

I think it might be good to.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course. I'll set something up.

Oh, gosh. Your dad wants you to come over for dinner soon.

He's finished the patio and the grill.

Miles Mako.

Tea?

It's chai.

Thank you.

So, you said you saw something in your garage?

Yes.

Same garage as the Bowermans?

Is that strange?

I know you were just there.

Well, it's not unusual.

Spirits are everywhere.

They tend to congregate.

Go on.

[grinding noise]

[Clara] That was it. Everything went back to normal.

I was just sitting there on the ground.

Could be a poltergeist.

They tend to prefer women to men.

[Clara] Like the movie?

Uh, that's a common misconception.

Hollywood really muddies the waters

when it comes to paranormal encounters.

Like demonic voices, right, objects moving

without explanation, levitation, strange noises.

Well, I did hear a voice, but none of that other stuff.

Couldn't it just be somebody messing with me?

Or you.

Messing with yourself.

Excuse me?

Well, some in our line of work think that poltergeists

are actually brought on by stress of the individuals.

He's saying that you might have some latent psychic abilities.

Oh, no. No. No, I'm not psychic.

No, it's just a theory.

But we believe that built-up stress

unconsciously projects into mental energy.

You're saying I'm doing this to myself.

No, we're not saying that.

Look, I-- I don't even believe in ghosts, okay?

I just can't come up with any other explanation.

What did it say?

That thing in your car?

Oo--

Uzgaroth.

[ominous music]

Are you sure that's what you heard?

Yeah.

[Pin] Why? Does it mean something?

No.

I'd like to see your car.

I didn't drive. I took an Uber.

That's fine. We can go there.

Okay.

Are you coming?

Yeah.

When did it happen?

A week ago.

[keys jingling]

Uh, is there anything I can do?

Mm.

No. No, I don't think so.

You buy this car new?

Temperature drops?

Electrical malfunctions?

Unusual smells?

No.

What's your favorite music?

My favorite music? Uh...

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, maybe your tastes have offended the spirits,

and this is the price you must pay.

Are you joking right now?

We can talk about hell and everything that escapes

from it if you're more comfortable keeping it serious.

No.

The thing, is it still down there?

[eerie, delicate music]

Maybe.

It wasn't there just now, but...

that doesn't mean it's gone, or it won't come back.

Do you think it's the same ghost the Bowermans had?

It was Kyan's grandma, right?

You didn't see a ghost.

Oh. What else could it be?

I don't want to speculate.

Humor me.

You said this hasn't happened before.

Well, poltergeists tend to manifest in a girl's

teenage years, specifically for a girl, you know...

coming into her womanhood.

But they don't show themselves.

They make noises and move shit, and basically annoy people.

And they don't pop up in later years like this.

What is it then?

[soft piano music]

Have you ever done something...

dark?

Whether it be to somebody else, or... yourself, perhaps?

Something you've kept hidden?

Sorry, I misspoke.

Um... terrible thing can happen in a place

which draws a demonic force.

Murder.

Suicide.

Or a cult.

Spirits of the dead or ghosts can pop up in the same way,

but they don't become demons.

No, not really.

If a spirit is around too long, it just sort of...

wanders between.

You don't know what it is.

-I'm working on it. -Are you?

Because if this is just some scam

to get money from me, then...

This isn't a scam.

Didn't that word help you?

-Uzgaroth, or whatever. -Not so cut and dry.

All right, this isn't private eye work,

and I'm not an exterminator.

This is way more dangerous than people realize.

-Don't say that name. -Why?

What's gonna happen?

Every time you say its name, you draw it closer,

and soon it won't be in that garage, it'll be in here.

I'm sorry.

I should get going. Um...

Pin. We'll be in touch When we have more information.

[eerie music]

But please don't say that name.

Okay.

Hey. I heard noises coming from your place.

Okay.

And?

And what are you two doing in there?

Well, I don't think that's any of your business.

If I get any complaints...

Have you gotten complaints?

Mrs. Gonzalez up on the third floor says

you were up in her place.

She was complaining about that?

-[sinister tone] -Said you sang a song

in her living room.

Anything else?

Hey, I got another client.

-Walking distance? -Yep.

How's it going, Mr. Lewis?

What are you doing in there?

Uh, doing?

You pay six months cash up front,

you don't think I'm suspicious?

You took the money.

And maybe I got questions now.

All right, fine. Come inside.

Take a look around.

[Lewis] Smells like shit in this hallway.

Come on!

[bell chimes]

[Mangi] You came highly recommended.

But I want to be very clear.

I don't want anyone to know about this.

It doesn't help that I had a few folks nosy and around

trying to film it for some ridiculous reality show.

I had to cancel all the extracurriculars

just to keep everyone away.

The staff is out of the buildings.

We told them we were fumigating.

I really just don't want anyone to find out about this.

We've had budget issues from the past year.

The last thing I need is the diocese

to find out that I hired you two.

We are well aware of the church's policies

regarding what we do.

Well, they practice what they goddamned preach.

Excuse me?

Sorry, ma'am.

Me and the church have a little bit of history.

Well, let's just keep them out of all this.

Understand?

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

So, how long has this been going on?

There have been stories about ghosts here.

They're mostly stories to scare the kids into behaving

or the older kids trying to frighten the younger ones.

It's been going on for decades.

Ghosts in the bathroom.

Don't be alone in the theater.

[sinister tone]

But sometimes things happen that no one can explain.

Sometimes the ghost actually does something.

Small stuff.

Like getting a room cold or flooding the bathroom.

But I tell you, it's never been like this before.

[somber music]

A week ago, the entire volleyball team broke

their ankles at the same time.

We haven't been able to cool down that gym

for over a month.

The diocese says it's a maintenance issue

or a coincidence.

They ignore everything.

[door closes]

Okay.

Where's the most centralized area of the stories?

You're looking at it.

No, no one set those chairs out like that.

They-- they were stacked against the wall.

[tense music]

You're feeling it, right?

That feeling?

Okay. Let's see what we can do.

Just go on ahead and go back to the office

and we'll check in on it....

[Mangi] Thank you!

What do you think?

Do we seriously have two PK calls in one week?

I told you. This is a hotbed area.

Mm.

All right, well, let's wrap this one up.

I want to focus on Clara's case.

Whoa, hey, don't you want to do a full sweep before incantation?

I know.

We should have prepared better.

I should have done a scan and a sweep before--

You know, I'm not offering yourself like that.

We don't offer our own souls as possession.

Oh, don't worry. I put the salt all around the--

You don't do that.

Possession at any level is not a trick or tool.

It's out of the fucking question. You got it?

Hey, if you had let me clear the space,

We should bring Abby in on this.

No.

Miles, did you see something?

No.

Hey, I-- I need you to admitted.

-Or just-- -[bell chimes]

I'll be back when you're done with this magic.

[man] Hey!

You're the guy!

The demonologist guy, Miles Mako!

-Ah! This is awesome! -Hurry.

I read about you.

Brennan Bron.

This is Simon.

That's Joy.

We do a show about the paranormal.

"Last Gateway." It's pretty big.

I'm kind of an up-and-comer.

I've dabbled. Check this out.

What's up, gatekeepers?

It's your boy Brennan. You know who it is.

Before we star with--

Caught a boogeyman in Los Feliz last winter.

Got him almost splitting his soul right in half.

That's me on the books.

[Simon and Brennan screaming in video]

Spanish and ghosts up and down the coast.

We were trying to convince Mrs. Mangi to let us handle

that thing in school, but looks like she's calling the big guns.

-Well, I gotta-- -Hey, new lay of the land,

Simon's your guy.

I've been mapping the whole city for a few years now.

I know all the haunts.

And I do the tech.

Bet you're still using old-school shit.

I've been building tools and traps.

Whoa, whoa, wait up, man.

-Hey, let me get a selfie. -Man, I don't really do...

We'd love to have your rap sheet, man.

You really exorcised a dybbuk for Mayor Fonarelli?

Yeah.

-Wow. -Let's go!

So badass.

Look, we know Mrs. Mangi's not gonna want anyone

talking about what you did here.

And we know to keep our mouths shut, you know,

we're not fools or anything like that.

But seeing as we're colleagues and everything...

Do you think maybe you'd do an episode of our show?

Demon chasers, huh?

Yeah.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

I mean, yeah, it's fucking awesome.

Go home.

Cut the shit out, man,

before you get yourself killed or one of your friends.

Or worse.

Whatever.

Guess you can't handle the competition.

[tense music]

Have you heard of the Seven Deadly Sins?

-Who hasn't? -Yeah, right, okay.

Well, that's like catnip for demons.

The cracks and crevices for them to crawl inside you,

control you, string you along like a little puppy.

And in the two minutes that you've been bothering me,

you've shown me three sins.

That pride right there?

That bravado making you brag about your wins?

That gluttony for more of this?

That wrath you feel right now?

Because I didn't bow to your... what? Auspice?

I've seen holy men driven into damnation for less.

Yeah.

I'm not gonna be some stupid like that.

Come on.

[Clara] So, I'm not crazy?

[Pin] No, you're not crazy.

You're probably more sane than you realize.

You've had an experience, an encounter.

It's probably opened your eyes to things you've ignored before.

I think I preferred not knowing.

Ignorance really is bliss.

Have you found anything on my haunting?

Some.

Uzgaroth comes up in a few things with various spellings.

I tried breaking the name down to see

if there were other accounts.

But, you know, I wasn't even sure

if there was like a hyphen or an apostrophe.

"Uzga" is Mongolian.

And "Roth" is an Ashkenazi nickname

for a person with red hair.

And then you've got some middle-high class Sherman

for Rot or Red. I mean, whatever the spelling.

All I could find were like small accounts of

trickster tendencies associated with the name.

I mean, nothing dramatic.

So, what's going on with my garage?

I've talked to my neighbors.

Nobody's seen or heard anything.

We're working on it.

Miles seemed to know the name.

Did he have any insight?

He said, "Don't say that name.

"It draws them closer."

Oh, that's just standard demon stuff.

Names are their biggest weapons.

He's just warning you about them.

How did you get involved in all of this?

-Ghost hunting and demons? -[chuckling]

I actually got a degree in it.

Started out as a joke, just an easy class to fill

my schedule, but I ended up having a knack for it.

Some people are just more in tune with the unseen world.

And your boss?

Ah! Miles is my business partner.

We need a research and accounting guy,

and I came highly recommended.

We had mutual contacts.

Are there a lot of you that do this?

Oh, more than you think.

Spirits are crawling all over the place.

[Clara] And how did he end up doing this?

You know, he came at it when he was young.

It was an incident with his family and with his sister,

Mya.

And he became a ward of their church.

You know, it's not my story to tell.

Who's that?

That right there is a former client.

What happened to him?

It's what happens when the demon wins.

Don't worry. We're here for you.

You got this.

That's what happens when the soul is gnawed at

and the person gives up.

Hi.

Hello.

Pin, did you notice Brennan and his idiot team filming me?

What? I didn't-- I didn't--

[signs] It's those posers from the school.

I'm sure their third is around here somewhere.

Some fans?

Not exactly.

You two feeling like taking a walk?

-[Pin] Yeah. -[Clara] Sure.

Couldn't hear what he was saying,

but I got good footage of the reading.

-Anything on the PKE? -Some, but nothing corporeal.

You think they saw us?

I hope they did.

Should we follow them, see where they go next?

We could interview that busker.

Or that homeless guy. Not sure what that was about.

Nah. I've seen enough.

-Let's bounce. -Shotgun.

That's the 10th visiting spirit in a week.

I told you. There's a good spot.

No, it's more than that.

These ghosts are visiting like they're saying goodbye.

Isn't that what ghosts do?

Say goodbye to their loved ones one more time.

Ghosts tend to visit, but unseen.

You feel them. Happens all the time.

But these ghosts are actually appearing,

which does happen, but not this frequently.

Cold chill down my back.

My hair's standing on end.

That's not just an air pressure thing or static?

Sometimes.

Other times...

Uzgaroth is coming, Miles Mako.

Good to know.

-Hello, beautiful. -[demon roaring]

What's going on?

[door locking]

[tense music]

Ah! Jesus Christ!

Sorry to scare you, Mrs. Mangi.

-I'm Brennan Bron. -I know who you are.

I left a few messages with your office.

A few?

I'm persistent, to say the least.

That's one way of putting it.

We were hoping to get a quick look at the gym.

We heard you had some activity in there

and we would love to get some shots for our show.

I've already told you.

We have no interest in our school being part of

some crackpot reality ghost hunting show.

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

See, I know you hired Miles Mako

to take care of that little problem.

And, uh...

Miles and I, we're colleagues, you know.

We like to just do some follow-ups

on his successful cases for documentary purposes only.

We don't have to name the school or anything like that.

We just like to get some shots of the place

where it all went down.

Please get off the property or I will call the cops.

I'm sorry, I...

That was dumb. I shouldn't have.

Yeah, you shouldn't have.

You can leave now.

Yes, ma'am.

That went well.

Yeah.

It did.

[both laughing]

Yeah.

And she's okay?

[Miles] For now.

It's too soon to be sure.

[Pin] Well, it's not going great here either.

Still waiting to question him.

[Miles] He still unconscious?

Yeah.

Pin, I need you to keep your head on.

Alright? This isn't what we thought.

I think we were targeted.

We?

Me.

Anything I should know about?

Just stay sharp.

Alrighty. If I get anything more, I'll let you know.

Someone like you.

♪

Miles?

I'm sorry.

Ignorance is a dangerous thing.

I thought that it was bliss.

Ignorance is a privilege

that not everyone gets to enjoy.

It's mental sloth.

And damn anyone

who willingly chooses to be a part of the problem.

It's not unintelligence.

I mean, you don't blame a kid

for not understanding centuries of demonology.

The real danger

is seeing the bad and choosing to ignore it.

-And I've seen the bad now? -[Miles] Oh, yeah.

Someone might not believe in hell

or the things that escape it, but...

that doesn't stop them from escaping.

Saying they don't exist invalidates the experiences

and traumas of anyone who has suffered.

And they know it.

The things down there.

They know it.

And they know that they are harder to fight

when less people admit they're real.

And I get it. Sometimes it has to be done.

No one wants to stare at a church burning

full of innocent people.

But you're not the only one

thinking that it's not your problem.

The world is full of people

thinking that it's not their problem.

People spreading willful ignorance and normalizing it.

I'm lucky

that you're brave enough to fight this stuff.

Not saying it doesn't scare the shit out of me.

But what scares me the most is apathy.

Because you can't make someone who doesn't care...

care.

Hey.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

Come on. Mort's guest took him for a walk.

I'm guessing Clara did the same.

Oh, yeah. Any idea where he went?

No.

I sent him back.

I thought I ripped it from its host

and I sent it back.

Well, what do you want to do?

Let's talk to Abby.

That one over there. Come on.

Must be bad.

Hello. Hello, sister.

Teddy.

Miles.

Abby.

Well, come on in before the neighbors start staring.

-Here you go, Teddy. -Thank you.

There's been a surge of activity.

Yeah.

You boys pissing in someone's backyard?

Not more than normal.

Well, then get to the point.

What's the trouble?

-Well-- -Uzgaroth.

[sighs]

Are you gonna have a seat, Miles?

What has your research dug up?

Trickster. It pops up every century or so.

And?

And the last time he was here,

he was ripped into pieces, and scattered into oblivion.

Miles started his career with that little poltergeist.

[scoffs] Yeah, little.

Possessions are your specialty for a reason,

aren't they, Miles?

How is he here, and why is he so powerful?

I don't know.

Aren't you supposed to know things like this?

I am as much on the outs with the church

as you are, young man.

I left because I wanted to.

And I left because they made me.

But we both left, didn't we?

[low, tense music]

I sent him back to hell.

And you know better than most

that hell has a bit of an open-door policy.

He's fucking with me.

Language!

Shame on you.

I'm sorry.

If this is a game again, you know how to play.

But it's not the same thing.

Once, he possessed someone.

Once.

And it nearly erased him from existence.

He wouldn't do it again. He couldn't.

So now he's sent some lessers to possess people in my path.

Our landlord.

A... client.

And I want to know why.

Revenge.

What is it about this client?

Are they someone special?

She's an innocent woman.

His favorite?

He's using her to draw me somewhere,

and I... don't know where we're supposed to go next.

He could have killed me in her apartment last night.

But then he just knocked me out and left me.

The same thing happened to me.

He just got up, and left.

Did you check for marks?

-Obviously. -Yeah, um, nothing.

Interesting.

Yeah, and I like a good mystery,

but not when people go missing, and guests are behind the wheel.

She's in trouble.

And it's my fault.

It wasn't your fault back then.

And it isn't your fault now.

He would know you'd carry this weight.

Carry it.

That's what they all do.

They-- They play tricks with us.

But whatever new tricks he has, there are certainties.

A trickster like this plays the same game over and over again.

And you sent him back to burn.

You broke him into little pieces for what he did.

And now he's spent the last 30 years

trying to climb out of that pit.

That can't be easy,

no matter what new powers he's acquired.

So, he'd be fragile?

Possibly.

He would need a nexus point to stay corporeal.

Likely.

And a place that would empower him, right?

Shit, Miles.

Where'd you banish him?

Teddy. Teddy?
