Original subtitles

It started as a light, a strong, bright light.

I thought it blinded me.

It made me think of my mom, who used to talk about how angels appeared to

Ezekiel, burning coals of fire.

It hovered in midair about 500 feet at my 2 o 'clock, and then it moved.

How fast?

High G, rapid velocity acceleration.

My F -16 Falcon reaches speeds of Mach 2. This was faster.

Five times as fast.

It flew straight at me.

So fast it appeared to go through me.

And I was suddenly... I was very calm.

All the fears I had, they were gone. I felt peaceful.

And you're thinking this was...

An angel? No, a UAS.

What is that, a UFO?

Unmanned aircraft system.

When did this happen?

February 18th, 1633 Eastern Time.

And why couldn't this object be another aircraft or a drone or some other

technology? It flew at Mach 10, 10 times the speed of sound.

And there was no sonic boom.

I can't say what it is I saw for sure, but...

Seeing it made me feel closer to God than I've ever felt before.

She's a pilot? A decorated fighter pilot.

She came to us not knowing whether she saw an angel or something else. The

church is aware of its reputation for being somewhat slow to investigate these

kinds of issues. Is the church really going to consider the existence of

The church is keeping an open mind.

There's nothing in God's essential nature that prevents him from creating

where he sees fit. These are other unproven accounts of similar encounters

other parishioners going back to the 1980s. So you want us to test the

credibility? Yes.

Hey, so I was checking out UFO websites to see if there were any similar

sightings on February 18th at 4 .33 p .m. And? Well, there was.

Someone with the handle Inertia Negation 17 at Syracuse University.

He was alone on campus, saw a burst of light in the sky, and some kind of

That's interesting. A Syracuse professor would lend the captain credibility. Can

you get in touch with him? Yep, I already emailed him. I'm seeing him

on campus, 9 a .m., Engineering Quad.

Want to meet me there?

Uh, no, I'm... I'm meeting with Cassie's commander.

Check out her account.

Okay. Where are you now?

When? Home.

Oh, I gotta go.

How bad?

Okay, I'll call you back.

Business? Yeah.

Hello?

A warning first.

This is ill -advised. I see Kristen individually.

There is a potential for a conflict of interest. We're not looking for long

-term, Kurt. We just need some advice. But if we do need long -term, you could

maybe help refer us?

As long as we know the limitations of this. We do.

Okay. How can I help?

So I've been away for a few months working on our business in Colorado.

And when I got home...

I noticed Kristen had changed.

In what way?

Shortness of temper, anger, and issues of self -harm.

What kind of self -harm? I told you those were accidental burns. Then why do

they keep happening? They don't. It was just once.

Wait, what are we talking about here? We're talking about burns on her skin.

From the stove.

Accidental burns.

On my stomach.

And what issues of anger?

She beat up a man at the supermarket.

Wow, that makes it sound more dramatic than it was. It's online, Kristen. You

knocked him out. He hit his head on the counter. Wait, what do you mean online?

Someone had an iPhone and they recorded it. Yeah, but it doesn't show what

happened before. This guy, caught in front of me, called me a bitch. So you

him? I confronted him. You knocked him out with a bag of frozen french fries.

Okay, um, let me stop you both there.

Kristen, your turn.

I don't deny that I've changed.

Six months ago, if this man had cut in front of me, I would have said, excuse

me, sir, there's a line here.

And when he called me a bitch, I would have felt bad, gone home, simmered about

it for 48 hours, thinking about how I could have handled the situation

differently, and I would have developed a suburban ulcer.

Instead, I stepped up.

Now when I've been wronged, I blame the person who wronged me and not myself.

So you believe this is a good thing? Yes. It's empowerment. It's how I want

daughters to feel.

So, without any judgment, why do you think you've changed, Kristen?

My work.

With the church?

Yeah. Why is that?

It challenges me. Puts me in a proactive position to face down threats.

And this video online, where'd you see it? Where?

It's on YouTube.

And have your daughters seen it?

What? Well, you said you wanted your daughters to be more proactive.

Have they seen this video?

Oh, my God. It's over, bitch.

Oh, my God. Don't move, Mom.

Can't you tell? There's your dad. Right there. Wow.

Super mom takes out line cutter.

That's what it says. So that's what that guy did? He cut in line? Yeah. How'd

you find that, Grandma? It's trending right now. Wait, is mom famous?

It's our family thing.

That's super cool.

You know what I find interesting is why didn't your dad say anything?

Maybe he did after the camera shut off. Probably did. Yeah, sure.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

By the way, Laura. No, then I will be able to say that.

You're the favorite.

On February 18th, the 177th Fighter Wing scrambled three F -16s out of the

Atlantic City Air National Guard base to investigate a UAP sighting picked up on

our radar.

So there were two other pilots?

Yes.

Can you tell me what they saw? At 4 .28 p .m., the civilian corporation Congo

Run launched an informational broadband satellite in the area. But Captain

Sampson saw this craft come at her?

And through her. That is what she has stated.

But you disagree?

I don't disagree. The facts do.

And that is why the captain has been grounded.

Thank you, Colonel.

You're welcome.

We're always here to help the church.

Colonel, do you believe in UFOs? Do I? No, not officially.

Unofficially?

Civilian aircraft and invention has outpaced our ability to keep up. So when

hear about a UAP, my first thought is civilians are crowding the sky with

crafts. They're not from outer space.

They're from garages in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Hey. Hi.

Ben Shakir.

Inertia negation 17.

You're Ben?

I thought you'd be older.

You're... Inertia negation 17.

Hi. So, on February 18th, what did you see?

First, what's your name?

Asha. I saw an aircraft accelerate straight into the atmosphere at Mach 5

greater. It went from a standing position to an accelerated vertical

second. You know, the G -Force would crush any living creature in sight.

Unless it developed technology to counter the effects of the inertial

You think it was a technology not of this Earth?

I believe I saw something alien, but I also felt it. What do you mean?

It came down towards me, and the light went through me.

And it gave you a feeling?

Does this happen to you too?

No, just another person we interviewed, an Air Force pilot.

It left me feeling good, happy.

Joyful? Sure.

But full disclosure, I had smoked a ton of weed that night, so maybe I was just

really stoned.

So you didn't think she was credible?

Her colonel said a launching broadband satellite from Congaron Corp is what she

saw. I spoke to someone who confirmed Captain Sampson's sighting. Who? A young

woman named Nasha. She saw and felt the same thing. And why is that not

significant? Well, we discussed it, and the young lady is 17 years old and was

smoking marijuana.

Oh, I got it. We'll move on.

Thanks.

I don't get this.

It wasn't supposed to be this.

I don't even understand it.

Leland, I know you want me to ask you what.

But whatever you're going to say here is a joke.

So just go home. I don't have time for this.

Please help me.

Make it go away.

I was wearing your stupid rosary around my neck as a joke.

And then when I went to bed, it attacked me.

Some kind of a winged thing, like a

vampire or a...

monster. It was trying to pull me apart.

I screamed at it to stop, but it...

I'm gonna need you to go.

You're my spiritual advisor.

David advised me.

Are you so worried about being conned that you will ignore a cry for help?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Me too.

Hey, I need you to look at the hack in Leland's apartment.

Do you have it recorded?

Yeah, over here.

All right, what time?

I don't know.

Early tonight.

He came to my room around 2 a .m., so... Try a half hour before that.

There. What are we looking for?

A vision.

His or yours?

Do you think that looks like he's having a vision to you?

Or a nightmare.

Or he knows we're recording him.

Why else would he have a laptop on the couch?

Did he believe you? That I had a vision? Not at first.

But you were convincing.

Of course.

And were you convincing partly because it was true?

What do you mean, true?

Well, the enemy is subtle.

You're pretending to need an exorcism, but in the process, are you secretly

wanting an exorcism?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

What is that?

A report to the manager.

Listen to me. This is a con. It always was a con.

I'm following the plan exactly, so don't you dare question my dedication.

Not your dedication.

Your will.

My will is perfect.

I'm not seeing the blood to prove it. Oh, you want blood?

I want to see you again in a few days.

And Leland, next session, please remember to bring in your dream journal.

Look, I know what I saw.

It was a UFO.

I just don't tell anybody that anymore.

Why is that?

Because I'm sick of people looking at me.

Like I'm an unstable woman?

I'll go.

No, we both will.

Okay, family meeting.

Why did we do this? You watched the video on YouTube?

Yeah, it was really cool.

You kicked ass. Don't say ass.

But you did.

Um, look, your father and I talked and...

I've been under a lot of stress.

But I have not helped by being away.

We do not approve of what I did.

Mom, people on the internet want to be like you. They shouldn't. I overreacted.

Okay. So that's it?

No. We also want to talk about how all this works, how we work as a family.

Yeah. What did we do?

Nothing. This is about us. You know, we both have jobs.

We need to keep those jobs.

And we expect you to hold it together here. So I'm going back to Colorado just

one more time to shut down the trekking business.

Why?

Because I want to be home more. I want to be with you guys.

So this is the plan.

Dad's going to go away for one more month, shut down the business.

Starting when?

In a week. Is Grandma going to watch us?

Yeah, but just for a little bit. But I think Lynn can be more in charge. Yes!

Take a seat. And I also think...

We should eat together more at dinner. Are we becoming Mormons? No, we're

becoming a family that eats together at dinner.

Hey,

I

think we made a mistake.

I know.

I think we did too.

Okay, what was yours?

Discounting Captain Samson.

I checked those other UFO accounts the parish has counted.

They're all from women, all written off as hysterical.

And I think that we should check if there really was a Congo Run satellite

launch. I already did that. My neighbor worked for them. There was no satellite

launch.

There were three birds up there that day.

Samson, Ruffins, myself. We didn't see anything.

Captain Terrence, Ruffins, David Acosta.

Hey, guys.

They were flying at the same time as Captain Samson.

Oh. I thought the Air Force wanted to keep their names confidential. We told

Colonel Treme the satellite launch didn't happen, so she wanted us to see

Captain Samson overreacted.

Is there any possibility that Captain Samson saw something that you didn't?

not to our knowledge.

Captain. Yes.

Do you agree?

Yeah.

All right. Well, thank you very much for your time, officers.

I have one procedural question for you, Captain.

Yes, sir.

No, sir. Not you.

Captain Ruffins.

If there's anything, even a small thing, I would love to hear it.

There's nothing, sir.

My father was in the Air Force. He was a mechanic, so I understand.

You think he knows something? I think he was particularly quiet.

What's up?

I think there's something wrong with my laptop.

Can you take a look at it?

I have my two thoughts.

Get your own dinner. It's my time.

Oh, God.

Cheryl.

Cheryl, one sec.

It's not about sex. It's about blood.

Leland, we're not getting back together. I'm not here for that. I know.

Actually, I need a little of your blood.

Not a lot. Why?

I'm being attacked.

Oh my God, you are so predictable.

I'm telling you the truth. I need you.

I'll think about it.

Now go away and handle your own problem.

So this is from the other pilot?

The silent one?

Yeah, I guess.

Show it again?

He sent us the bishop marks.

Yep, last night.

What's going on?

I don't know. He told us to wait here in case he had questions.

Captain Stanston, I'm Father Katagas from the Pontificia Accademia delle

although if you recognize me, I'm actually from Berkeley, 12 miles from

Captain, please have a seat.

A meeting.

It's my understanding that this is what you saw on February 18th.

That is correct, Father.

And you expressed to our assessors that you felt a sensation when this object

apparently flew through you. Was that correct?

Yes, Father. Good. And did you feel a tingling sensation in your feet when

object flew through you?

No. Okay. And did you feel a tingling sensation in your fingers?

No. But you say you felt joy and peace.

Yes, Father.

And did those feelings stay with you?

They did.

Did they stay with you in any way that could be quantified?

We have medical exams before we fly and afterwards.

My blood pressure after the flight was low, and my hypertension was gone.

And that continues to this day?

Yes, Father.

Did you smell anything when this craft flew through you?

I'm not sure I might have.

You see that device, Captain?

It will offer you 12 odors, one after the other.

I want you to tell me when the odor you smell is the one that most closely

matches the object that flew through you.

Yes, Father.

This has happened before.

News to me.

Ready, Captain?

When you smell something similar, close your fist, okay?

First smell.

Your Eminence, has there been other identical sightings?

you have all seriously?

The Church takes every scientific advancement seriously.

Then we need to be brought in on this. That's why you three are here.

No. You were going to leave it in the hallway, your Eminence. The Church

want to publicize its interest in the Vatican. You may have noticed it tends

be private.

Here's your captain.

Yes, Father.

Is that the right one?

Father Katagas wants to meet with you three.

I want to talk to this young woman, Asha, who you say saw the same thing.

Why? Because it will help the Vatican's investigation.

Has the Vatican had other reports of UFO sightings?

David, we don't need to... The Vatican has had hundreds of thousands of

We look at the most serious.

Does the Vatican believe in alien life?

The Vatican believes in what exists.

And if it does exist, does it change the question of original sin?

How so?

If there are other beings, could they be free of original sin? Would they not

even be aware of what it was? Or are we missionaries, asked to share the gospel

as we did with the indigenous people in the New World?

Look at how well that turned out. Yes.

It's an easy perch to occupy with your ability to buy what you want, eat what

you want. Please, give your property back to the indigenous people. It's an

thing to do. Give your deed to someone who lived here originally.

Look into Land Back.

I gotta go.

Sorry.

You can get me in touch with this young woman, Asha.

Mr.

and Mrs. Bouchard, thank you for coming in. No problem.

What's happened?

Laura. She was showing a video to her classmates of a woman getting in a

and she said it was her mother sticking up for herself.

Mrs. Dean, her teacher, confiscated the phone and told Laura not to lie, that

the woman in the video was obviously a criminal.

Laura called Mrs. Dean a liar.

And that's why we're here now.

Laura was telling the truth. That is me in that

video. Oh.

Oh. What do you need from us?

Well, to be exact...

Laura didn't just call Mrs. Dean a liar.

She used the F word.

Is that my computer?

Yep.

You took it apart?

Yeah. There's something in it.

Something planted.

How did that... I don't know. Did someone tamper with your laptop?

Leland was here.

That's what I was thinking, too.

You know, we hacked his computer. He may have hacked your back.

Should I dump it?

Get a new computer?

No.

I have a better idea.

Act like you're working, working, working.

Good. Okay, now you forgot something.

Go to your bookshelf.

All right, you're looking for it. You can't find it. No action too specific.

Okay, step off. Step off.

Good, good, good.

How much more of this?

Um, maybe about 10 minutes and then I can loop it.

Have you ever thought if Leland did this to my computer, it would make you think

that Leland's hack has it been looped too?

Yeah.

Kurt, can you squeeze me in?

No, it's gotten worse. It's affecting my family, my girls.

Okay, great. I'll do it.

Excuse the melodrama, Mrs. Bouchard.

My driver only knows one way to get me anywhere.

I'm Edgar Loudermilk.

Could you ask your driver to move? I'm heading out. I only need one minute,

Kristen. I'm no longer with the DA's office.

You should talk to them.

Eighteen more seconds.

Excuse me?

Oh, he's early?

Can you hear me well enough?

The jet video you received of the proposed UFO, it is not alien

not even supernatural.

It is Russian drone technology.

We've known about it for some time, but we've been avoiding any public

acknowledgement. We want the Russians to believe they've been undetected in

order to discover what they're doing.

In other words, ma 'am, you and your fellow assessors have stumbled upon a

secret U .S. operation to uncover confidential foreign technology.

Your government is asking you to kindly stand down in further investigating this

flight. Do you understand?

I'm not for it.

I understand.

Here's my card.

Call me if you or your team have any further questions.

And with that, thank you for listening.

Are you serious?

That's what he said, word for word.

And you believe it?

I don't want to believe him, but, um... Occam's razor.

The simplest and most direct explanation.

Okay, I'll, uh... I'll talk to the bishop.

I'm disappointed.

I kind of wanted it to be true. I know. Me too.

Are you coming?

Um... Not yet.

So, what's up?

Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

We haven't talked in a while.

We've been busy. Yeah.

So you're a month away from ordination.

How is that?

Weird.

Any doubts?

Oh, yeah.

I was going to go to my therapist's office, and then I realized I knew

what he was going to say. I could game it all out in my head, and I just didn't

want to hear it.

What was he going to say?

That I should look for the underlying cause of my free -floating anger and

hostility and anxiety and find a positive way to channel it.

Sorry, I stumbled into being nosy.

No, I came to you.

Why are you angry?

Because I hate people.

You hate people?

Yes.

I really do. I love my daughters. I like you.

I tolerate them.

But I look at everyone in my day, every single person, and I realize they're

awful.

And I don't want to hear that people are essentially good or that they want to

do good because I don't think they do.

Why are you becoming a priest?

Well, there's a segue.

My mom had me

baptized.

My dad thought it was idiotic.

His life was art and sex.

Her life was prayer and math.

I was drawn more to my dad's life.

I followed it up until, I guess, five years ago.

Julia.

That's when I found science didn't really explain life to me.

It was like having an instruction manual on how to put together a bike, but

after the bike was together, it didn't explain the bike.

Science is best used as science, not as philosophy or religion.

That's when I was drawn back to my mom.

She seemed to understand.

What? Understand what?

People do bad.

People are bad.

They try not to reveal it because Americans are obsessed with

purity.

They can't even let on that something is wrong.

And it's only one solution.

Jesus.

Forgiveness.

People apologizing.

And that's it?

Yes.

It's harder than it looks.

Americans do not like to apologize.

They worry it shows weakness.

So you think I should apologize?

Hurting you, Kristen.

I know you're sad.

I know you're hurt.

But I can't tell you exactly what to do.

Don't be a priest.

Why?

I'll miss you.

I'll still be here.

Not being myself.

Be patient with me.

Hey, stop, old man.

Stop.

Asha, this is David and Kristen.

Have you two met?

Uh -huh. Just now.

We'll be right back.

Excuse us.

Thank you for bringing in the two eyewitnesses. You got our report, right?

Turns out it was Russian technology. Yes, I saw your report, and so did this

gentleman, Victor LeConte.

He's from Rome.

Hello.

David.

Kristen.

Ben.

Hello.

Kristen.

Was this the man who approached you yesterday?

Yeah. And did he tell you his name?

He did. It's Edgar... Loudermilk. Yes, he's with United States Homeland

Security. 49 years old, Episcopalian. His wife is Jewish. Only goes to

Christmas and Easter.

What's going on?

Mr. Loudermilk is not telling the truth about this craft being Russian

technology. How do you know?

Ben, I work with intelligence services around the world. America, France.

the Eastern Bloc, Russia. I cross -referenced that information and come up

a more certain analysis than one country can on its own.

You're Vatican Secret Service.

I'm a friend of the Vatican, David. That's all.

It's called the entity, right? I've heard other people call it that.

I haven't.

I have asked Kathy and Asha to accompany us.

to Rome for further evaluation and they've agreed. We would also like to

that invitation to you.

Us. The three of us.

Correct. All expenses paid.

Ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

I'll need you to sign the statement of confidentiality.

some fragility.

You wanted me to see that, right? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Let's handle one thing at a time, shall we, David?

So, here we are.

Here we are together again.

Any more visions of angels?

No, actually. Thank you for asking.

Are you a Christian now?

Praise Jesus.

That was a joke.

What are you doing?

You asked for blood.

You went to the supermarket and bought some pig's blood. No, human blood.

Really? Whose?

Yours.

Let's see who the manager listens to now. The one eating or the one eating?

What happened? I don't understand.

We called Captain Sampson and Asha, and they said it had to be called off. I'm

going back to Rome.

No reason to stay. What about the investigation?

They both admitted they were lying. No, they're lying now. You have the video.

Yes, but I needed the eyewitness accounts.

Is the entity going after RSM Fertility?

No.

And I would drop it too, David.

What do you want me to say?

I lied.

Simple as that. You did not.

Is this Homeland Security?

Did they threaten you?

Or Helen, did she say something?

I am flying again.

That's all that matters to me.

Bye.

What did they offer you? Why'd you change your story?

MIT. I'm going next year. Pretty good, huh?

Come on, you're a smart girl. You could have gotten there on your own.

Are you kidding?

You know you're going to have to give that thing back, right?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, tomorrow.

Tonight we have an important experiment to conduct.

Hey, so I saw you before.

You didn't. Come on, what's that?

Roses? Very good, very good.

I was climbing.

I was halfway up Lost Arrow in Yosemite. I was sleeping in a portaledge.

And I saw this thing just shoot right past me.

Right at eye level. And I didn't tell anyone about it because I didn't think

they would believe me.

Did it have a smell?

Strawberries? No.

You're a UFO.

Oh. No.

But you know what?

I've changed.

I would tell everyone about it now, seeing that UFO.

That's what this job turned me into.

Turned me into a blabbermouth.

No.

Just honest.

Cotton candy?

That is the smell of their UFO.

Really? Yeah.

The world is green.

That's all I know.

I'll drink to that.

Yeah.

I'm going to go after R .S .M. Fertility.

I'm sick of waiting on a church.

You want to help?

Sure.

Why not?

Oh, thank you.

Go ahead.

One pint only.

I don't need it anymore.

I decided to go in another direction.

Okay. Wait, wait, wait. I made dinner. I want to talk to you about something.

It's a business proposition.

Come on in.

I have a knife in my purse. I have a knife in my apron.

We'll keep each other on our toes.

Wow. Pretty presumptuous of you.

I knew you'd be curious.

Sit.

Here we go.

Do you like goat curry? So what's the business proposition?

Opening a B &B together?

That would be fun. Yeah, wouldn't it?

Be right out.

Okay.

Oh,

yeah.

I hope you like it spicy.

Fine with me, I just don't like cilantro.

Ugh, hate it.

Go ahead and open some wine.

I'm thinking red feels fitting.
