Sister, I have doubts.

I know.

I'm not sure my visions are really from God.

Andy, I know you're going to spend the rest of your life here.

Andy, are you there?

Uh, I gotta go.

What? Are you okay?

Yeah, I love you.

Bye.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Your egg is still out there.

It was sold this past spring.

An anonymous transaction, no name.

The records only show a business address.

Oh, my God!

What are you doing here?

What I really want to say is we're going to be parents.

Go back to my office.

We'll talk.

I'm sure you have a lot of questions.

Oh, wait, wait. Baby, please.

Please.

Come back to the party.

We can sit down. I'll tell you what's going on.

Your eggs and my sperm are destined for each other from the beginning.

In 38 days, a child will be born who will need his mother's milk, his genetic

mother, like Mary of Bethlehem.

They will sing hymns in your honor, the mother of the living Antichrist.

Kristen, I'm furious.

Do you know why I'm laughing, Leland?

Because I can't think of any greater torture I could devise for you than to

you a baby.

A crying, shitting baby.

I giggle at the thought of you waking up at 3 a .m. because the Antichrist needs

changing?

Or dealing with diaper genies and bottles at 4 a .m.? And that's just the

beginning. I mean, have you thought about the terrible twos in your

Did you ever wonder why?

The omens get the infancy?

Because that's the real horror.

Oh, Leland.

Good job.

You just fucked yourself more than you know.

Do you have a minute?

No.

Look, I don't know what Leland told you, but I only took the job because I

needed money when I couldn't rent your garage anymore.

It's true, Kristen.

I'm not the enemy.

Mom, it doesn't matter.

Whatever you're saying...

It doesn't matter. I just wanted to apologize. No, I need you to listen to

This house is off -limits to you.

And my daughters are off -limits to you. No, no, no, Kristen, please.

Don't answer out of emotion.

Please.

Do I seem emotional to you?

This is goodbye, Mom.

Forever.

Kristen, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh, hey.

I wondered where you were. We decided to make dinner.

Spaghetti.

Hey, okay.

What are we... Chris. Chris.

Oh, hey, hey, hey. Oh, my God. I got a call.

Oh, my God.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh. My kids will be here from school.

Then we're going to educate them.

I want to go back to normal.

What is, uh, what's normal?

Kids.

coming from the walls or nuns tramping around looking for demons.

I want you to go bowling.

Yeah, be right there.

Good. They're all here.

So, I've been asked to stay on until they can bring in someone from the

We're thrilled to have you, Father.

I'll begin with a confession.

Oh, what?

Demons and exorcisms.

Really? But I won't let my disbelief get in the way of my duties.

That's the least I can do for Matt.

So, I'm supposed to show you something.

Now, let's see. Where is that?

Oh, here it is.

Now, have you heard of the Garrow Research Facility? In Long Island, the

particle accelerator?

Yes, very good.

It's a machine to split the atom. And it actually splits the proton of the atom.

Well, you know more than I do, so here, you talk.

Well, it's a 14 -mile loop that accelerates electrons and protons close

speed of light to split them. Well, they're having problems.

Do you know?

No.

Local parishes in Ryland are protesting.

They say the particle accelerator will open the gates of hell.

Well, don't look at me. It's just what it says.

The scientists are asking us to investigate and give them a clean bill

health.

The scientists, they want us to prove they're not opening the gates of hell.

I'm...

Supposed to show you something at this address.

Here, you type it in.

What's that?

A thing that was filmed down in the particle accelerator.

The Vatican is asking you to investigate and write up a report.

Well, it's a prank, right?

Well, I don't know. That's your job.

If you choose to accept it.

That's a Mission Impossible joke.

You don't get to choose.

Thank you for joining us.

The Heavy Ion Collider is an ISO 8 cleanroom, so we'll need you to wear

lint -free covers while down in the loop.

There's no real fear of radiation until the accelerator is powered up, but

you'll find these radiation monitoring badges clipped to your pocket. Keep an

eye on them in case they turn red.

This is the elevator you are on now. It's a half mile down to the

When operational, the accelerator will shoot protons into the 14 .2 -mile loop

in opposite directions, progressively using electromagnetic fields to

the particles near the speed of light. They eventually make the loop 13 ,000

times per second before collision. So is this about the proton spin crisis?

Are you a physicist?

No, no, just object.

Dr. Ethan Parquet.

Head research director.

Oh.

Ben Shakir, head ghost hunter.

Oh, this is Kristen Bouchard, skeptic, and Father Acosta, believer.

They're here to investigate the video from last year. I guess you're going to

tell us it was a prank.

Yeah, three only sacrificed virgins on Wednesday.

Dr. Parquet is joking. That video, the woman...

being sacrificed.

It was a bad attempt at humor.

We've reassigned all of the participants involved and we've apologized in

several press releases.

Just two minutes now.

So why'd they make that video, Doctor?

We're in a friendly competition with CERN, a powerful accelerator in

Switzerland. They did a similar video making fun of the satanic panic about

their opening.

So what can we do to convince you we are not Satan worshippers?

Well, it would help to talk to the woman in the video, the one being stabbed.

The one pretending to be stabbed. Right. It would help to show she's alive.

Well, she's no longer with us.

What do you mean?

She resigned.

Why? No reason.

She didn't like the attention.

OK.

Can you get us her contact information?

Certainly. In the sacrifice video, could you show us whatever shot?

This way.

This is where they shot it.

Why here?

My guess is superstition.

M13.

I'm a physicist, but I understand the tug of the narrative, the power of

thinking that fate is found in omens and magic.

Our physicists are only human. Is it all right if I take some pictures?

Yes. We have nothing to hide. So what's your take on the spin crisis?

Oh, shit. Class of you.

Two of the quarks have parallel springs to the protons.

What happened here?

What do you mean?

It looked like you patched something up.

We had some thinkage during construction. It required some bracing.

can be a bit unsettled this deep.

And this?

Graffiti. It's just like the one on the elevator.

I'm not sure who's doing it. I think it's on the night crew.

One of the reasons for the delayed opening these gates of hell rumors seem

sabotage in the last few days You can help us watch those rumors the better

Was a settling of the

earth happens now

It's

nothing

Power dip.

Come back on in a second.

Here we go.

Do you need to see anything else, Father?

No.

No, we're good.

I hope you're fine here.

My wife, she hates this kind of talk.

She thinks work is making me nuts. Why does she think that? Well, with going

down the elevator every day, the night shift.

But pay's good, so what can I do?

You said they thought you were lying.

About what?

Where you were.

B -13.

That's not where the gates of hell are.

You think there is a gates of hell? I mean, it's just the name that the night

shift calls it. Calls what?

B -33.

It's at the far end of the loop.

Nobody wants to work there.

Weird things happen there.

Um, I think your wife wants you.

No, she thinks it's a mistake I'm talking to you.

When they were doing construction and widening the loop on the proton

they broke through something.

A thing called really deep.

it just collapsed on them and the crew said they couldn't see the bottom of it

so they decided to cement it over and

work around it but there's something there something

under the concrete

They dragged that woman into it. What woman?

The one from the video.

Did you see it? Did you see... Did you see her getting dragged into it?

No. All right, let's just go. We already saw the sacrifice. No, I took this last

week.

I don't fucking know, man.

What was that?

No idea.

We just got out of there.

Okay, then.

Tell me.

Tell you what. I know that video was fake.

So tell me how.

Okay.

So here is a video of me with a ghost.

Hello, ghost.

I don't see anything.

Oh! Did you see that?

I see something.

Oh, my God. Here it is. Oh, it's a ghost.

It's a terrifying, scary ghost.

I guess I was wrong.

This is that app you were talking about.

The one that puts angels in videos?

Yep. Okay, so from now on, Ben, I need you to show me stuff like that right

afterwards. So you know what not to believe in?

Exactly.

And also, I'd like to understand quantum mechanics.

Yeah, good luck with that.

It's good news, David. There's no monster coming out of hell.

I want to take a look tomorrow.

Look where?

B -33.

He's faking it.

Well, it should be easy to check out then.

Well, good morning, my little lambs.

Are we swearing a vow of silence?

Not wrong.

Well, I had a question. I was wondering what to cook tonight. I was thinking

maybe candy salad?

All right, this is actually perfect because I've made some decisions for us

family.

Your grandmother is no longer allowed in our house or near us. Any worries?

Great. And we're no longer going to mass on

Sundays.

I've changed my mind. I don't think it's healthy for this family.

We're going to have family fun day instead.

What is Family Fun Day? It's an excellent question.

It's weeding in the yard and cleaning the house.

So if any of you disagree, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Wow, I didn't know that was all it took.

Telling them they talk too much. Yeah.

Looking nice.

Mm -hmm.

All right, so you'll make the girls dinner tonight? What? Are you going out?

Yeah, I got work.

With David.

Yes. And Ben.

Why?

What's going on? Nothing. I just... It seemed like you wanted nothing more to

with Ghosts and Demons. And here you are rushing off to a job dealing with

Ghosts and Demons.

Yes, I'm debunking Ghosts and Demons. Uh -huh. I stand corrected.

We need the money.

Well, no. We won't when Trigorin's payment comes through.

Well, that's great. When it does, give me a ring. In the meantime, I'm going to

head to work.

Hello?

Yes, who is this?

Yes,

who is this?

One of their workers showed us a video he believes represents demonic activity.

Yeah, but some of us still think that it's a prank, just like the sacrifice

video. So what are you suggesting?

Heading back down again to check out this worker's suspicions.

So this is Father Agostino LaRusso from the Vatican's Pontificia...

something, something.

Academia de la Fiance.

He's the one who's asked for the update.

Satisfied, Father?

Who is the one who understands physics?

Me.

What do you need?

For you to try to follow me.

The particle accelerator creates collision energy of 14 trillion electron

volts, correct?

Mm -hmm. Yep.

Such a collision collapses matter.

To such a point, no light or energy can escape.

Okay, I know where you're going.

Tell me where I am going. Yes, such a collision could cause a micro black

but not one that could endanger the Earth. Why? Because it would quickly

evaporate due to Hawking radiation. And if a chain of black holes develop... It

won't happen. It hasn't happened. It can happen. You know, theoretically,

anything can happen.

But CERN has been running for six years now in Switzerland and... But the GRF

accelerator will work at higher speeds and employ beams of gold ions. It is an

improbability.

The pontificate is not concerned with the gates of hell.

That is a folk superstition for which we have little tolerance. Our concern is

that the collision of gold ions measured at foot... 13 trillion electron volts

could result in a chain reaction of quantum black holes that would swallow

Earth.

So why are we there?

Are we looking for demons or are we looking for black holes?

Okay, so tell me.

Tell you what?

I'm not as comfortable with that stuff as you are with the black holes.

Chain reaction of black holes?

Yeah, is it possible?

CERN's been running for six years, so... No.

But?

No but.

So, what are you looking for today?

We were asked to inspect Ben 33.

Why? We heard rumors there were some issues.

Okay, I think we know what this is regarding.

We continue to be sabotaged by rumors.

Dr. Porcay, do you have any worries about a chain reaction of quantum black

holes? You've been reading the conspiracy theories? No. No, I just want

thorough.

Okay, Ben.

What can I do to calm your fears?

Show me your safeguards.

All right.

I'll take Ben and... Kristen.

I'll take them into the Hydra Conjunction.

You take David. Show him Van 33. Let's try to settle this today.

Okay.

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Kristen already thinks that you and Andy are too close. Look, I want you in

there too. But first we need to pull apart Kristen's defenses.

Trust me on this. No, you're wrong.

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Why is your wife fucking a priest?

Not enough charge. Let me see.

Let me go back, get another.

You stay here.

Call if there's anything.

This is the hydrogen junction.

That's where the beams converge.

Oh, and your safeguards.

The beams are accelerated around the loop 13 ,000 revolutions per second.

And how are they held in place?

Electromagnets. It's what guides the beams towards each other.

And if there is any concern about an uncontrollable black hole... It's not

to happen. I know, I know, I know. Just humanly.

If there's concern about anything, there's a kill switch.

Such a change in matter would not be subtle. A plasma would grow inside.

Here, let me show you.

Am I safe?

Kristen?

Hello?

Where are you, Kristen?

Are you all right up there?

Yeah, take some pictures.

Thank you.

What's that?

I'm not quite sure.

Get down!

What is it?

Get down. Get down!

Oh my God! Ben! Oh my God, Ben! Are you okay?

Ben, you alright?

Ben!

Jesus!

Watch your back. Out of the way. Out of the way.

Yes. I'm fine.

Seriously. Sir, are you having any nausea? No. Headaches or dizziness? No.

right. Need you to look at me?

No. How'd that happen?

They're trying to find out. We need to review the timeline before we can

This was a test firing. That's all. The equivalent of a dental x -ray. Right.

That's the crowns while you're at it. Hey, Ben, stop being funny. Take this

seriously, please, okay? Any blurry vision, sir?

No. Follow my finger. Do you see a trail? No. Okay. Take a deep breath.

We need to know what happened. Not in a week, not in an hour, now. There's a

power surge. We don't know why we have breakers to stop any unintended fire.

But? Well, we think that there's more sophisticated attempts to sabotage. Oh,

come on. You don't even need any demons. You've created so many of your own. How

dangerous is it? The radiation is minor, and Ben is showing no ill effects,

though. He should see his general practitioner and get a CAT scan. I'm

There's no black hole growing inside my head. Ben, shut up. Stop treating this

as comedy. Please.

I'll take you home. No, I have to. I can do it myself.

Yeah, like hell you can.

Hey, did you make it out to Bend 33?

I did.

Yeah? Did you find hell?

Not this time.

Send someone there. He doesn't send anyone.

They send themselves.

I don't believe that, sister.

I had a vision of an angel telling me, woe to Babylon,

38 days.

Revelation.

Right.

So what happens in 38 days?

You can come out now.

Were that David?

Father Acosta.

How did you get here, Lynn?

An Uber.

Then let's call another one. I cannot counsel you without your parents'

permission. She doesn't want me to be a nun.

And maybe, maybe I don't either. I don't know, but I...

I want to know more.

Help me.

Okay, get back in there.

Then we'll call a car.

Sister, I need help.

Are you the bad thing?

Andy?

Is Tristan all right? Yeah.

What can I do for you?

You can stop fucking my wife.

Andy, I don't know where you're... You're a priest, man.

Fucking priest.

Andy, we have not... Bullshit!

I can hear it in her voice. Andy, I swear to you... Stop saying my name like

a fucking eight -year -old!

Andy, we have not slept with each other.

I can see it on your face. I can hear it in your words. You are guilty. You

cannot deny it.

I can deny it, and I...

Well, that's fortuitous.

You should go to her.

Tell her what happened.

Shut up. No, it's a good idea.

Hey.

Hey.

How's Ben?

He's good.

Yeah, he's tired. He's going to go see his physician tomorrow.

Weird, right? Oh, my God, he's scary.

So what's going on? What did you need?

How are we doing?

What do you mean?

Best friend.

Oh, um... Good, I think, right? Aren't we?

We're not distracting each other, right? No, I think we moved past that.

Good.

And, uh, your husband?

How are you two?

What?

Andy came to the rectory.

He what?

Andy accused me of sleeping with you.

What the fuck?

He said he was reading our signals.

Oh, my God.

Wait, Kristen.

No. David, we are fine, okay? We've been good.

Do I have feelings for you?

A husband, he needs to shut the fuck up. He's been out of town. He has

absolutely no rights. Wait, wait, wait. Maybe we should...

Oh,

Mom.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

It's past midnight. Where were you? Doing homework.

Really?

With who?

Not what you think, Mom.

Oh, I'm thrilled.

What was I thinking?

It just got late on me.

Did the homework happen to be with your boyfriend, Ren?

We need to talk about birth control. We already did. I know.

But if this is getting serious, I want us to talk again.

Okay.

Yeah. Now go to bed.

You're grounded tomorrow.

Okay.

What was the homework?

Civic.

All right.

Yeah. Well, go to bed, and we are going to have a little chit -chat tomorrow.

Who's there?

Hello

Who's there?

I am.

Why don't I see you?

You don't believe in me.

I believe in what I can see.

Hey, baby, you're home.

Yes, I am.

Can you get the kids off?

No, I cannot.

What's wrong?

What's wrong is you don't dare sabotage my job.

Ever.

What? Don't ever go to my work and accuse my boss

of sleeping with me.

He went to you.

Of course he did.

What do you think he would do? Yeah, he wanted you to know that I went to him.

No, the problem is you went to him at all. No, no, no. The problem is that he

told you because he wanted this fight. No, you're trying to... He wanted us to

argue. No, we're arguing because I'm bringing in the money and you just tried

fuck my job with my boss. Okay, let me ask you this.

Are you sleeping with him? No, I'm not. Who do you think I am? He's a priest.

You ever kiss him?

No.

This is your obsession, not mine. Let it go. Chris, if it's true, I can forgive

you.

You need to get your shit together, husband.

You've been away forever, and now you come back accusing me the single income

this house.

Better shape up or go back to your mountain.

So, how are you feeling?

Oh, good.

Normal.

You guys are going to keep staring at me, aren't you?

Pretty much.

Okay, look. I went to a neurologist this morning. I had a CAT scan.

My brain is still there. I'm all good.

Okay?

Last night, someone tried to blackmail the facility.

This is Mr. Tolfer, head of our security.

Gentlemen on our custodial staff, someone...

We understand you met with.

He acknowledges creating the video and trying to besmirch our work here. He

he would stop his disparagement if GRF agreed to pay him $230 ,000.

We, of course, denied his request.

So why are we here?

No one in the religious community trusts us, but they will trust you if you

share what you observe.

And Mr. Mateo Marcus has agreed to come clean about his blackmail.

Where is he?

What is

he doing?

Praying.

Zoom out. Okay. Camera's locked.

What is happening?

Reload detail.

Check B -34.

Watch out, we're still working on patching then.

Mateo! Did you hear?

No, but I think I heard something. You did?

Is anyone down there?

Mike,

get on with Ryland PD. We've had an accident.

Send out construction.

If he jumped, I think he'll cut down for miles.

Mateo, can you hear me?

Well, that is odd.

I don't think I understand this.

We don't know.

This man was either a whistleblower or a blackmailer.

And he...

Either committed suicide or he was dragged down into... Hell?

A hole.

A think hole.

That's all I feel comfortable saying.

Schrodinger's cat.

Excuse me?

Nothing. The cat is both alive and dead.

He was dragged...

And he jumped.

What about the particle accelerator?

If you want to stop it from going forward, sure, there are some safety

There are a lot of bugs they need to work out.

Are they fail -safe for a black hole?

Yes.

Are they adequate?

No. Why?

Because the unknown. Because everything.

Okay, because we don't know enough, and if we want to know more, then we have to

take risks. Yeah, but they do really... Wait, this accelerator is a minor risk.

But they do need to address their safety issues.

Now, when is it supposed to open?

38 days.

38 days.

Yes.

38 days from now?

Yes. Why?

What was that about?

What? Your reaction to 38 days.

Oh, uh, a dream I had, um, based, I guess, on Revelation.

No, this should be good. Do you have mosquitoes?

What was the dream?

An angel told me the world would end in 38 days, starting with the reign of the

Antichrist.

That's an interesting reaction.

No, it's just, um... I'm having a son in 38 days.

Thank you.
