Original subtitles

Muted! Put it on closed captioning. We've got family coming.

Police officers outside.

My father, David Acosta, St. Joseph's. Where's your collar?

I got called out of bed.

Check in over there.

Are there any survivors?

I think you want the police sign up outside.

No, I'm a spiritual counselor.

Oh, Phil Nell, senior pastor at Grace Community Baptist.

Sorry. Father Acosta, St. Joseph's.

Do you have a collar? No, I just got a call.

I might have an extra one out in my car, but it's not Catholic.

First time?

Yeah. Word of advice.

Don't give answers.

Give comfort.

Over here? Yeah.

Rabbi Bachman.

Father Kosti.

The EMS over there? They'll motion when they need me.

Any survivors?

None yet.

Those people, they're from the building next to it.

You should find a collar.

People think you're a cop.

Did you have any loved ones in the building?

I'm sorry, I can't hear.

I was in the building.

You were?

Does anyone know that?

Have you seen a medic?

We need a medic over here!

I was in my kitchen.

There was a very loud cracking sound.

And then she was there.

Who?

She was just suddenly there.

In my apartment.

She told me to follow her.

How could she see?

I'm sorry, what's your name?

Kelly Bennington.

Kelly, um, what floor were you on?

They're looking for other survivors.

On the 11th.

She led me down the stairs.

Out on the street, it was all just collapsing around us, but she knew how

through.

She got out with you?

I don't know.

I don't see her here.

How could she see? That's what I don't understand.

Medic!

What was her name, this other woman?

I don't know.

She was wearing a white gown, a bright gown, and in her arms, she was carrying

lamb.

I need to find her.

Okay.

Stay right here.

I'll be right back.

Here.

Take my coat.

I have someone in shock. I need a nurse over here. Father, just pray for them.

She says she's a survivor from the building.

Got it. She says she's from the 11th floor.

Kelly Bennett.

From the 11th? Yes.

Boy.

We got a survivor from the 11th.

Me too.

Excuse me.

I heard what she said.

The lady on the 11th.

I was on the 6th.

And a woman took my arm.

You were in the building?

There was a rattle, like an earthquake.

And I knew to get in the doorway.

But there was a lady there, in the hallway.

And she waved for me to come to her. And we just started walking.

And the drywall was flaking off.

The girder came down, and she just stepped over it like it wasn't even

What's your name?

Matthew.

She was in a white dress and carrying a lamb or a sheep.

I know it is crazy, but you're a priest, right?

Father Acosta.

I don't go to church.

I don't go to anything.

But this lady, she didn't care.

And she took me by the arm and led me out.

And I could feel this rush of wind from behind me as the building collapsed.

And I just stood there.

Where did the lady go?

I don't know.

I turned to her and she left.

She wasn't there.

I think she was there to save me.

Over 43 residents are still unaccounted for after a gas leak resulted in one of

the worst building collapses in Bushwick's history.

According to the official report, there were four survivors.

I talked to three of them.

And they saw the same thing?

A lady with a lamb.

Did they talk to each other? Could they have influenced each other?

I think the first two did, but the third was nowhere near them.

Are we investigating this? The Vatican's coffee sanctorum has been looking into

the beatification of Sister Mary Grimani, a Sicilian nun who died in

She was credited with curing a parishioner's spinal stenosis.

They've always lacked a second miracle.

I think you should investigate whether this is her. You want us to investigate

if a dead Sicilian nun came to Brooklyn to save people?

This is her picture. She was called the Sister of the Lambs.

She attended to a local flock. She said Jesus told her to. The Vatican would be

very happy if that's who these survivors saw.

Okay. We'll talk to them.

David!

You're defending Sister Andrea today?

I am. I know she's a friend, but I don't think it's a good idea.

Why? The Archdiocese is intent on retiring her.

All right, look, at the very least, please, don't embarrass the Archdiocese.

They have great plans for you.

Don't give them reason to change their mind.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Holy Father, please grant this ecclesiastical tribunal...

A clarity of purpose and a generosity of spirit. May the angel of peace watch

over us and lead us at last by God's grace to the kingdom.

Good to see you, Father.

Thank you.

Father Ketagos, will you begin?

Thank you for returning, Doctor.

Could you summarize your findings on Sister Andrea's mental health?

Yes. The sister is a woman of higher than midline intelligence.

She has a higher than midline sense of responsibility.

She does show overt signs of oppositional defiant disorder and adult

conduct disorder as they relate to authority figures at the church,

male leaders. And in the course of your examination, did the sister claim to

witness demons?

She did. Often? Yes, several times a day. And did Sister Andrea claim to

a demon consorting with the cardinal?

Yes. No equivocation on her part. She stated it clearly and directly.

She saw a demon speaking with the Cardinal of New York. That is correct.

Thank you, Doctor. That will be all.

I just have a few questions for the Doctor.

Oh, sorry.

I really only have one question for you, Doctor.

Tell us about the time you saw a demon.

Do you want me to repeat the question? Father, this isn't a courtroom.

Let the doctor answer. My apologies.

Go ahead.

I still don't know what I saw.

Why don't you describe what you saw? I'm not sure how this matters. It matters

if the psychiatrist offering his judgment about demons is seeing demons

Let it go.

What do you mean?

Don't ask him anymore.

Why not?

We withdraw our question at this time.

Understood. Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Cheryl, I found some new photos of the building collapse.

Great. Drop them online and make up a science report about the land settling

Bushwick.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

I'm the man who signs your checks.

No, she is.

What's happened to Taylor?

Hmm, good question.

I think she might be in the hospital with a nut allergy.

What are you up to, Cheryl? I just don't like having your spy looking over my

shoulder, okay? Too bad. I'm your boss. Absolutely, Lynn. I believe the manager

is my boss. And Macabre is up $45 right now.

What's he doing? He's going to the manager. Should I be worried?

Yes. Yeah.

Unbutton your top button.

Hello.

Cheryl Luria for the manager.

Do you have an appointment? I'm supposed to be in the meeting with Leland right

now, so can you just... Would you... Hold on a second.

I'll tell her.

Good.

He's not available right now. When will he be available?

In August.

Thank you, Kelly.

How are you doing?

Well, weirdly very well, after what happened.

Would you mind telling us what happened? What you saw?

I don't mind.

But people think I'm a bit insane.

I saw a lady with a lamb leading me out of the building.

And who else did you talk to about this?

You.

That's it.

Oh, well, you said that some people thought you were insane, so who else?

uh, my parents.

And the doctor at the emergency center.

Ah. Okay, but none of the other survivors?

No. And how well do you remember what this lady looked like?

Well, enough.

It was very bright, so I didn't see all of her features.

Can you draw her?

I'm not a great artist.

That's all right. We're just comparing impressions.

There was a bright light behind her, so I don't know how well I can draw her

face. Matthew, across the street from your building, there was a food truck.

Halal. Did you ever have lunch there?

No. But you passed by it. You remember it? Yeah, I guess. Why?

Well, printed on its side in large letters was the lunch special lamb.

You're kidding.

We were just wondering if there's any chance that maybe he could influence us.

You're wondering if I saw the word lamb and then imagined an angel carrying a

lamb who saved me?

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's good.

It's almost identical to what two of the other survivors drew.

Did this person speak to you? This angel?

Not then. Is there any chance that... What do you mean, not then?

I was staying with my best friend Lois in her apartment on the 6th, and I

was up late with insomnia.

And around 1 a .m., my cell phone rang.

It startled me.

I reached for it, and I said hello, and there was nothing but silence.

But just as I was about to hang up, I heard a woman whisper, like she was on

old phone or had a bad connection, very distant.

I couldn't hear what she said, so I asked, excuse me?

I thought it was my roommate checking up on me.

But then I heard the woman say very clearly, get out now.

And I asked, get out of what?

But there was just another second of silence.

And then she said something in a language that I couldn't understand, and

she hung up, and that was it.

There's a chance it's impending doom syndrome.

The voice that said, get out now?

Yeah.

Our subconscious can be attuned to things around us that our conscious

too distracted to perceive.

Maybe she was picking up on the building creaking in the days before the

collapse. Has she imagined the phone call?

Simon says, move!

Who's signing?

Oh, my God!

What's coming through the ceiling?

The train!

Why would the train come through the ceiling?

Dramas happen all the time. Yeah, and the ground is still settling. Haven't

heard? And the new construction?

The chances of our house collapsing are high.

Very high.

Okay, this is a house, not a pillow fort.

Where'd you get all this?

Okay, no doom scrolling before break.

Ah!

Gee, sorry.

Well, that's new.

Hi, you guys ready?

We're at the end of the world. Okay, perfect. We leave in two, so hurry up.

Okay.

What's that?

Oh, that's shortbread biscuits. It's a bribe from my boss, the manager.

Oh, right.

How's that going?

Medium. It's office politics, you know, murder.

How's it going with you? You seem a little bit...

Out of it?

Yeah, I'm not sleeping well. I keep having the sense that something bad is

to happen, and I think the girls are picking up on it. Like what?

Last night, I could have sworn I heard someone say, Watch out!

So that's back.

What? You don't remember?

Oh, my God.

Honey, when you were little, there was this period when you would come running

to my room and scare the shit out of me.

You told me that you woke up because you heard someone telling you to get out.

It was when your father and I were divorcing.

I don't know, maybe this is about Andy.

Take my advice.

You're better off without him.

I love you.

All right, us is leaving. Let's go. Bye, Mommy. We'll call you at the school

cave. Yeah, have a nice day.

Bye. Thank you.

Father Barnaby, you've studied demonology within the modern church,

Yes, I'm the chief professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame. And is

there anything blasphemous about seeing a demon? No. Second Corinthians

explicitly states that a demon can take any desired appearance.

But there is a certain, how should we say, theological hubris.

in these claims of the sisters. When you heard that the sister claimed to see a

demon speaking to our cardinal, what was your reaction?

That it was blasphemy.

Do you need a moment, David?

No.

Father, have you ever had any spiritual visions of your own?

I must say, no, I have not.

Never been in the presence of, say, the Lord Jesus Christ?

Never. If Sister Andrea, for example, had a vision of Christ, the...

Physical Christ.

On a lake near her childhood home? Would you consider that a sign of hubris?

I would have to say yes, I would.

Father, your personal conversion story, the incident that brought you to the

Lord, would you care to share that with us? The significance of that isn't...

You had a vision of Jesus walking on a lake near your childhood home, didn't

you?

You might talk to your witness.

He has some issues with you.

I just saw her outside my apartment.

I started toward the elevator and she pulled me the other way.

I would have been dead if I took the elevator.

Hello, Adina.

I'm Father Acosta.

Oh, good.

A priest.

Are you going to tell me who this woman is?

I don't know.

Good drawing.

I draw for textbooks.

Can I show you a photo, Adina?

Sure.

The church thinks there's a chance that a nun from Sicily could be the woman you

saw. Who's this?

Sister Mary Grimani.

Okay.

That's not her.

How can you be so sure?

She's not black.

The woman you saw was black?

Yes. No one else described her that way.

So?

Why didn't the other survivors see her as black?

We don't know they didn't. We never asked.

Wouldn't they offer it? I mean, it's noticeable, right, if an angel is black?

Well, don't take this the wrong way, but the survivor who drew this image is

black, right?

Mimi? I'm just saying, in view of the times, it's possible she was making a

political statement.

Oh, my God. I'm not declaring that with any certainty. Well, thank you for that.

I'm just thinking we should check with the other survivors. If this miracle was

performed by someone who was black... Will the Causes Sanctorum want us to

investigating? Look, there's nothing political here.

The Vatican's interest is in Sister Mary Grimani.

They're not interested in a black miracle.

That's not what I'm saying. Then what are you saying? I'm just... Are you

checking with other survivors?

Yes, we are. We're trying a few different therapies to prop more

independent memories.

What therapies?

Non -dominant hand therapy.

And hypnotic therapy.

Good. Great.

Keep me informed.

Will do.

So, what do you think?

I think angels and saints are thought of as white because Renaissance

iconography has been force -fed to us for centuries. Oh, you mean that the

people in power wanted God to look exactly like them.

Wow, I'm shocked.

Look.

Saint Monica.

Mother of Augustine. She was African. From the media.

Her skin would have been as dark as mine. But look at how she's portrayed.

You have to look far and wide to find an accurate painting.

It's not just... It's not just what?

You just said it's not just... I don't know.

Okay, let's just call the survivors back in tomorrow and ask them if they saw a

black angel.

Good.

He's getting ready to oppose 10 % tariffs on an additional $200 billion.

It's not available. Not even for his favorite shortbread biscuit?

Every executive comes in with those. Try better.

Okay.

What's that?

Macabre. A commitment to transfer 400 coins into your account.

Worth at the current rate?

$10 ,000.

500 coins.

Only if you let me in now.

You have 10 minutes.

It's a call from Bridgeway.

He's worried about his weight.

Tell him he looks good.

Hello?

I'm on the phone.

What is it?

Hi, I'm Cheryl.

I work in cryptocurrency and with the trolls in IT and...

Oh. Oh, God.

I'm the one responsible for the rise in macabre, sir, not Leland. And, um, I

think you should promote me to head up misinformation.

Hang on, I got someone here.

Who is it? What do you want?

Hi, I... Who are you?

Why the fuck are you in here?

Uh...

Sir, I have your shortbread biscuits

here. What?

I ordered sweet green.

Okay, let me see what you got.

I think that's my 20 minutes. Fuck that.

Oh, yeah.

These are the good kind.

So, what do you want?

I got the figures on building collapses.

It's a good trendability.

It came from the manager's office.

Really? He let you in?

Have you ever seen him?

At the sports club. He's into racquetball.

Are we talking about the same person?

I think so.

Him. Yeah. Hey, you.

I want you in my office tomorrow. No.

Don't fuck up.

What did you do?

What does he look like to you?

The manager? Yeah.

Some people say Liam Nathan.

But I think he's more like the guy from The Good Place.

What's his name?

Ted Danson. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Why? Who does he look like to you?

How many eyes does he have?

How many eyes?

Two. Two? Just two?

Okay. Okay.

Just wondering.

I don't understand the problem, David.

All my visions, every single one.

I thought the angels was white. I think the devil is black.

And so?

But if I'm influenced by the religious art of Michelangelo and Fra Angelico,

then they're not visions.

They're just a function of my mind.

David, you're creating a problem when there isn't one.

These visions are real.

What are they? They are.

Angels are white.

Don't you turn this into a political issue.

Oh, please.

Don't you talk that way to me too, sister.

What way? This isn't a race issue. This is a religious one.

Then why did I have a vision tonight?

And the angel I saw as white is now black.

Now you're talking like a newspaper editorial, David.

You say that because you're white.

I believe in God's revelation.

And so do you.

Sister, I've followed these visions for the last five years because I thought

they were real.

No.

What are you doing down there?

The triangle of life, the train.

I'm sorry, Mom.

It was me. I was having a nightmare about Dad. Yeah, me too. And he was in a

case by a polar bear.

He was, like, walking on the ice, and then he was drowning. Hold on. First of

all, there's no frozen water where your dad is, okay?

And also no polar bears.

Okay, why don't we do this?

It's the afternoon there. Let's try and give your dad a call.

See if we can catch him.

Andy, are you there?

Hey. Dad, are you okay?

Hi,

how are you doing?

Dad,

don't go climbing today.

We're fine. We're safe camp.

Something's wrong, Mom.

No, everything's fine. There's just no 5G at South Face.

Okay, grab your shoes.

Come on.

Grab your shoes and a jacket. Let's go.

You are stronger than the world.

You are stronger than anything that can threaten you.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Here.

What's that?

It's a back scratcher. Scratch my back.

Right there in the middle.

Harder. Left, left, left. Other left.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good, good, good, good.

Yeah.

Sir, I know Leland is trying to take credit for Bacab, and I just

wanted you to know where the real work was coming from, so... Okay.

All right, all right, that's enough.

You're promoted.

I don't want you taking over misinformation.

Thank you, sir.

I like what you're doing with this building collapse.

Not just ground settling.

Making about construction codes and gas releases.

Okay, yes, got it, got it. And I want you here at noon tomorrow with this

breath. Certainly, sir.

Good.

Now get the hell out of here.

So you've been in with the manager.

How do you know?

I recognize that look on your face.

What happened?

He promoted me.

Congratulations.

And regrets?

What does he look like to you?

The manager? Yeah.

Just like he does to you.

He looks like a monster to me.

How many eyes?

Five.

Welcome to the team.

Am I having some kind of psychotic breakdown?

Oh, absolutely.

What's going on?

He's walking on Jessica, you know, the survivor who was staying at her friend's

place. Okay. So she insists that the angel was white.

Has he hypnotized the others yet? We haven't gotten agreements from the other

ones yet, but there's something else.

What?

Something you should hear.

You're doing great. I just want to go back to something that you said earlier.

You remember the call?

Yes. And what time did the call come in?

Around 1 .10 a .m.

And what did you hear the woman on the line say?

Get out now.

Good. And then you heard her say something else?

Yes. What was it?

She said she had a message.

A message for David.

You said she spoke in a foreign language you didn't understand.

I was wrong.

I didn't know anybody named David, so it didn't make sense to me.

What was the message?

Don't trust her.

Is that it?

No, she said, don't trust your sister.

So you don't have a sister?

No.

You don't think this is about...

Sister Andrea.

Maybe.

This is crazy.

She gets a call about you from the Lamb Lady prior to the building's collapse,

and she doesn't know that you're going to be involved in the aftermath.

I know.

This is more than the subconscious warning her.

Yeah, it's beyond impending doom, Cinder. Then what is it?

Prophecy? About Sister Andrea.

What's going on?

Turns out when something is that convenient, it is not prophecy.

What are we talking about?

She wasn't in the building.

What? Yeah, we did online hunting, and turns out that she was subletting at

another building, and then she slipped in with the survivors.

It's a type of Munchausen syndrome, wanting to be the victim of a disaster.

Why the warning about me?

Let's find out.

Thank you.

for coming in, Jessica.

Of course, yeah.

Just a few last things. Anything to help.

How are the other survivors?

Good.

How long did you know Lois?

Lois? Not long. Just through law school.

And it was her apartment?

Yes. We were up late studying, and I had a bit too much to drink, so she let me

stay the night.

You know what's odd?

We have no record of you being in law school with Lois.

Really? Well, I was.

What we do have is a record of you working as a temp.

Yes, oddly, I can be in law school and work as a temp at the same time.

Why are you being so hostile?

Last year, you were working as an office assistant at a psychiatrist's office.

421 East Drayden Street, Suite 3C.

Working for a psychiatrist named Leland Swanson.

Have you ever noticed people are getting meaner?

They yell at each other more.

They hit each other on airplanes.

They're more violent crimes.

You must have noticed. It's all over the news.

Do you know what it means?

All this anger and hate?

It means your team is losing.

That doom you feel It's justified

So

she was lying about seeing this woman with a lamb About being saved by

her. Yes, but the others were not

I'm afraid this casts doubt on all of the accounts.

That doesn't make any sense.

Whoa, whoa, I'm definitely not Team Angel, but just because one person is

doesn't make them all suspicious.

The Causes Sanctorum has been very clear in this decision.

Why is the church afraid of a black angel?

I think it's time we moved on.

You already have your left attack.

Candice Bergen is a 15 -year -old girl in demonic possession and infestation.

She's been eating glass, and her bedroom has been making demonic noises.

Well, that sounds much safer.

We've made our decision.

We ask that Sister Andrea leave till we have discussed it. Father, I'd like to

be clear why these charges are being brought against Sister Andrea.

Certainly.

That gentleman. Father, that may be the original accusation, but Sister Andrea

has proved herself undependable. I see demons, too.

Excuse me? I see demons, too.

In fact, I see one right now. David, don't.

We need you here. I see a demon right now.

There. Sitting next to Leland Townsend. David, come on. Stop holding this

grudge.

Father, if Sister Andrea is a liability to this parish, then I am too.

Everything she's seen, I have seen. You've seen demons consorting with the

Cardinal?

Yes.

Father, you understand this is blasphemy. I understand that all of us

with evil.

To see the cardinal consorting, then struggling with the demon, is not

blasphemy.

It is human. But that is not what Sister Andrea saw. She did not see him

struggle. Because she only saw the beginning and not the end of the

David. Please, Sister, let the men handle this.

Father, if you're forcing Sister Andrea to resign, You must force me to resign

too. So just resign.

You must force to resign one of only three black priests ordained by the

Catholic Church this year.

Thank you, David.

Leland didn't look happy.

No, he didn't.

Now I need you to go confess.

Why? You lied.

You never saw a demon with a cardinal.

I'll go tomorrow.

No, tonight.

And one other thing, David.

I have to apologize.

For? You confided in me your racial concerns and... I dismiss them.

It's... No.

There are certain things I'm not a good judge of.

I don't see the world the way you do.

And it's wrong to think there's only one way.

Sister, I have doubts.

I know.

I'm not sure.

My visions.

Are really from God.

They are.

Even if they've changed?

God changed them.

I wish I had your certainty.

No.

Your doubt makes your faith stronger.

Now go confess.
