Original subtitles

How long is she going to do this?

Two months.

Sorry, what?

Non -stop?

She dances till she collapses and then she's up again. She dances when she

She doesn't eat.

They have to cuff her down, take her to the infirmary, force feed her.

I can't believe she killed her kids.

When the police arrived, she was dancing in their blood.

She said that something made her do it.

Is she requesting the exorcism?

Her parents are.

Do you agree with them?

Have you ever heard of the Tarantella?

The dance of the 16th century to alleviate sins?

Yes.

I think she's dancing because she's guilty.

How can...

Pastor, would you like to sit down? No.

Why not?

Bad things will happen.

To who?

To you.

To everyone you love.

Who's going to hurt us?

Are you the one who killed Catherine's children?

How could Catherine ever be exceptional if she was held back by those graceless

vermin?

They were robbing the world of knowing greatness.

So you killed them.

It looks like bipolar schizoaffective disorder, a combination of psychotic

delusions and manic episodes.

The exhaustion doesn't help either.

Yesterday, she threw three guards off.

I was there.

She threw them across the room.

Is she well enough to be exercised?

Infirmary doctors believe so.

We'll do our best.

Yes. What are we looking for?

Several Tigrayan clerics and nuns were abducted by Ethiopian security forces.

We need to find where they're being held so we can intervene.

You understand the urgency?

These belong to them?

Yes. But you don't know if they're alive or dead?

Yes.

Focus on these PSI coordinates.

What are you seeing?

I'm seeing a snake.

Describe it.

Don't define it.

Or a tunnel.

Or actually, it could be a roller coaster.

You have too many AOLs.

AOLs? Analytical Overlays.

You're interpreting what you see instead of naming it.

And it renders our work useless.

Okay, then what?

I can't turn it on and off.

Take an hour.

Take a walk.

Start again.

Start again with what?

Prayer.

Lock the noise from your head.

Okay,

get him off. I am not going down that basement. It's not down with the bats.

Yeah, like you know where the bats are.

Excuse me then.

Let me answer the phone.

Bouchard residence. Lex is speaking.

Hi, sweetie.

Aw, Reggie, I miss you. Oh, wait. I've got Timothy. I can't wait to see him

again. Um, listen, I have Timothy today, and, um, I can't find his boo -boo

bunny anywhere, and he's been crying without it.

Is it at your house, maybe?

Grandma can't find Timmy's bunny. She thinks she left it here.

I think I saw it upstairs.

No, no, in the kitchen.

Can I have the phone?

Grandma?

Mom won't be happy you called. I know, I know, and I'm sorry. I hate to be a

nuisance, but, um, where is she?

She has an exorcism tonight.

That's such an odd occupation. My mom has an exorcism tonight.

Found it!

It was in her closet.

How is that possible?

He wasn't even up there. Is there any chance that you could bring it to me? I

think Lynn is right. I don't think your mother would want me to come over.

Pulse 70 beats per minute. Blood pressure is a little high. I'll recheck

every 20 minutes.

Holy Lord, Almighty Father, everlasting God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who once and for all consigned that fallen and apostate tyrant to the flames

hell, hasten to our call for help and snatch from ruination the clutches of

noonday devil, the human being made in your image and likeness.

Let me go. Faster, father, faster.

I compel the demon from hell in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of this

woman. Catherine, we're trying to help you.

They're here.

They're in hell. This is hell.

It's over.

My father, Lord in heaven, I will be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be

done on earth as it is in heaven.

Let your mighty hand cast him out of your service, Catherine, so he may no

longer hold captive this person whom it pleased you to make in your image.

and to redeem through your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity

the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.

Shut up.

David, are you all right?

Catherine. Catherine.

Catherine, can you hear me?

Doctor! Medical, now!

It was cardiac arrest from cardiomyopathy.

But you checked her vitals?

Yes. All I can say is an electrolyte imbalance may have impacted her heart.

And something else.

What? I don't know what to say about this. There was nothing wrong with her

before.

Her feet?

What is it?

As far as I can tell, it's gangrene.

Gang... Well, how could she? She couldn't.

All we can think is the body deteriorated at an accelerated rate.

But I've never seen anything like this.

Wait.

What's that?

I don't know.

A prison tattoo, maybe?

And we're back with sigils again.

No matter how far away we go, we always end up right back here.

Yep.

There it is.

Mm -hmm.

What's the X about?

It means it's been vanquished.

Vanquished? What does it mean?

Vanquished by who?

The entity?

Oh, my God. Is this somebody?

James Bond Vatican shit? Wait, what does it mean to vanquish them? Does that

mean to kill them?

They say no, but if the demonic force dies, they can exit out.

We aren't getting some loser asshole killed, are we?

No.

That sounded like a hesitant David, no.

I would not be involved if it were.

Okay.

So, if this house was vanquished, where did Catherine get the tattoo?

I don't know.

So who does?

I'm sorry, that's impossible.

It's not.

It's a failed exorcism that she died.

This was tattooed on her heel.

No one remembered it being there before.

Who was being exorcised?

Catherine Orlando, an ex -professional dancer.

She murdered her daughters.

You said she's dead?

Yes.

There's a chance this demonic house will remain vanquished if she's the last.

If there are others, that is bad news.

How do you find out if there are others?

Why don't you do?

You need to find out why she had this sigil on her body. If this house has

restored, we need to know immediately.

You are a continual surprise, David.

Was this in Ethiopia?

I have no idea.

Who was it?

Father Adiso.

He and his flock are under threat of torture and death. Any sense where

being held?

It was at night.

The only thing I saw outside was a monument, a spire, an

obelisk. How tall?

Maybe five stories.

Thank you.

This will save lives.

Okay. Ready.

Okay.

Um, so what are you looking for?

An objective read.

Yeah, I have a lot of friends, and I can't tell if they're being nice when

say nice things.

So you're paying me to be objective?

Yes. I must say, this is weird, me being on the receiving end of my usual

therapy.

So let's start with the main character.

I'm not sure exactly what he wants.

Truth. He wants truth, so that's why he's telling a story about girls

cannibalizing their mother.

It's a meta -narrative. I'm invoking the tropes of the genre to ask questions of

the genre.

I mean, I recognize my plot is trying to accomplish a lot. I'd be more compelled

to agree if it had a plot.

You have words, so many words, but no actual plot to speak of.

Do you have an issue with me?

No, I have an issue with someone who hasn't invested all their time and

into their craft.

You don't know anything about me, kid.

I know you're a therapist.

I know you're over 60 or whatever.

And I know that your myth of fiction and non -fiction is all over the map.

Okay.

Thank you. You paid for an objective. And I said thank you.

Next time I order a frappuccino, make sure you get the order right.

I don't work at a coffee shop.

Not yet.

Get the fuck out.

Devalidate.

There's a place where all the people lie. They'll be down in the false pride.

And they can say it. If you ask them to, they will tell you to.

If you want them to, and I can be there.

Stop it!

What the fuck? Stop it. Shut the music off! What the flying fuck?

Marcy, what the hell are you doing?

If you want to create your own steps, then take my seat. Those were the steps.

Fuck you, they were not.

I saw you thinking the whole time.

And if I can see you think, I am now watching you move.

Arabesque.

Is it hard keeping your posture?

No, I could do this all day.

Exactly.

Effort is the opposite of elegance.

Shall I warm your leg?

No, I'm fine.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Who are you?

We're from HR, and I'm just about ready to film this bullshit.

Ah. Are you feeling triggered, madame? I'm feeling like you enjoy torturing

dancers. I enjoy precision.

You do, too.

Only you don't want to know how it's achieved.

Okay, um...

We're here because of Catherine Orlander?

Ten minutes.

Walter.

Are you with the police?

No, the church.

Ah, a priest.

Yeah. I love you guys.

Ritual, incense, the robes, oh my God, so theatrical.

What do you need, Father?

Tell us about Catherine.

She was with us for six years.

She left a year ago. When she murdered her children?

Yeah. Wow, you sound saddened. But now that you ask, I don't want children

But I do want my dancers focused.

Have you seen this tattoo before?

No. What is it? The sign of the devil?

Why do you ask that? Because you are with the church.

Aren't you obsessed with the devil? And dance is evil, right?

Where would we be without evil? Is that why you abuse your dancers?

Oh, my fucking God.

If people want to dance for fun, they should do Zumba at the white.

Does anyone feel abused?

If so, feel free to leave. There are a thousand people who were killed to take

your place.

No?

Now get the fuck out of my studio.

Father, father.

No wonder Catherine had a psychotic break with all that physical and

psychological abuse. We should talk to the other dancers.

You're right. Let's go.

You know what?

Maybe just me.

Might be better one -on -one.

Catch you later.

Hey.

Hi. Hey.

How far away is your car?

Six minutes.

Mine's four minutes away.

Do you mind if I wait with you?

You're asking a question about Catherine?

Yeah.

You a dancer? You look like a dancer.

No, but I used to climb.

Climber. Yeah. Let me see your hands.

No, they're too soft. You're lying.

Well, I don't climb anymore.

I have to make a living.

Well, yeah, I've heard of those livings.

How's it going for you?

You sound a little dismissive.

I watched my parents make a living.

Death sounded better.

Oh, my God.

I'm Kristen.

Isabella. Nice to meet you. You too.

So you're a choreographer.

You seemed a bit intense.

He's definitely obsessive.

No, he's not malicious.

But I can understand how some people would find it hard not to take that

personally.

Like Catherine?

Catherine was offensive as well.

Is that why she killed her daughters? Because she was offensive?

Why do you think she killed her daughters?

Gosh, I don't know.

Maybe she didn't want to be a mom anymore.

Come tonight.

To where?

Our show.

It's just us. The women know Hassan.

I think you'll get a better sense of what the movement really does.

The movement? Was Catherine part of the movement?

Here's a ticket.

Okay.

Hey, it looks like I beat you.

Oh, well, lucky I'm a good sport.

Yeah.

And, uh, wear white tonight.

White looks better on you.

Hey!

Hey, I found an ex -dancer who started an online group accusing the troupe of

recruiting her to Satanism.

You're kidding.

No.

We're going to go see her now. You want to join?

Sure.

Hi. Hi.

You're Megan? Yeah, yeah.

Sorry about all of this. We have a recital this weekend, and I'm super

costumes. You teach dance?

Aid to preschoolers. It's more like herding adorable cats.

But I had to find a way to make ends meet after leaving the troupe. You

want to join another dance company? I tried, but turns out I've been

from every company for my video about the troupe.

You had issues with Hotham?

No, no. The problem was never him. It was his dancers.

Especially Isabella. They were threatened by Catherine.

So they set out to destroy her.

How?

I... I know this sounds crazy, but they, uh...

They put a hex on her?

Something to drive her nuts? How do you know?

Because they did the same thing to me.

I found this in my bed last week.

Apparently it's supposed to represent me.

They said that if I dare speak out again, I'll dance with Catherine in

You think the other dancers are the keepers of the sigil, then? Absolutely.

We're not sure.

We haven't heard their side of the story. They left her a voodoo doll. It's

to imagine there's another side to the story.

Well, I'm going to ask Isabella Moore tonight.

Where? She invited me to a performance.

Really? Yeah.

Okay.

Keep me in touch.

David, can we talk for a minute alone?

Good luck, Mr. Bond.

What was that about?

Nothing.

We have coordinates for a new target.

For the priests and nuns? Yes. Your last vision helped us figure out they'd been

transported to Exum.

How long do they have? We don't know.

Maybe hours?

Okay, Timothy.

Once upon a time, there were four beautiful daughters. From Dr. Boggs's

that's not...

Right for a baby. Timothy isn't a normal baby. He's very special.

The four beautiful daughters were very happy together.

Until, tragically, their mother fell deathly ill.

Oh, my God.

My daughter.

Hey.

The suburban mountain climbing housewife in line.

And her friends.

David and Ben wanted to come too.

Sure, the more the merrier.

So, tell us about Megan.

Megan Tyree.

What do you want to know?

She says you're all fates in it.

Born and bred.

Proud of it.

What's with the creepy doll you sent her?

The corn husk doll?

Yeah, we sent one to everyone in the movement.

What'd you say?

That you hexed Catherine and now you're coming for her?

Yeah, that's the plan.

What do you think she's reacting to? Art?

Fun?

Sex? Dance?

She's a prude, okay? Fine, that's her path.

It's just a shame she got into Catherine's head.

How so?

This conversation's boring.

I'm interested.

Take off your shoes.

Why? I want to see what your feet look like.

Sure, if you answer her questions.

Megan convinced Catherine that we were immoral.

Once Catherine went down that path, she just saw everything as good or evil.

It's not?

No.

It's beautiful or ugly.

It's art for art's sake.

Pleasure. For pleasure's sake.

You saying she killed because she saw things as good or evil?

Stay after the show.

She likes you.

I would say more than likes you.

Just do my job, guys.

I

could

drop pictures and we could make it into a book together.

No, no, no, that's like old school. Okay, here we go.

you know what we're gonna do we're gonna make a picture book like ai timothy

will love this it's way easier than like drawing it ourselves

that's kind of weird and we can

even upload pictures of ourselves to make it even cooler then just give it

a suggestion like victorian

oh my god

Okay, we can make our own book with this. Won't that scare Timothy?

Kids love gross stuff.

Wait, we could put it online.

Crowdsource it. It's not our story to crowdsource. Then we'll put his name on

it.

Curiosity. The young and the free.

There for all to be.

Trained. Burned by the flame.

The heaviness is taking me.

Into the fire of trinity.

It's the orgy of the free.

Thank you.

I'd rather we just talk, David.

I want Ben and Kristen to hear.

We're in this together.

What sigil are we investigating?

It was wiped from the earth 200 years ago.

That's why it was eked off.

But now it appears to be revitalized.

What does the house represent?

A gathering of extremely powerful necromancers.

Very rare, because its leadership is passed down matrilineally.

So, we're talking witches?

It's become a politicized word, so I hesitate to use it. Why?

You have no concern about keeping women from abortion or birth control. I mean,

why stop now?

David, we need to talk.

Now, I'd love to hear. We've already hunted werewolves and demons. Are we now

hunting witches?

Okie dokie.

Father Dominic wants us to look into these dancers.

Of course he does.

Because they're witches?

No, because he doesn't know.

Okay.

We've been doing this assessing for how many years now?

A few.

And how many men have we assessed?

I don't know.

Eighteen.

Do you know how many women?

63.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Women are more sensitive, maybe.

Which is a great quality, but it perhaps makes them more susceptible to

manipulation. Come on, talk to any QAnon dad and tell me who's more susceptible

to manipulation.

So... Why do you think that we're doing more female exorcisms? Because when

women go against their accepted roles, the church labels them as possessed or

witches. What about your field?

Young, Freud, their obsession with female hysteria, penis envy. Guys, guys!

Bottom line is, we're looking for witches.

We've been asked to look into the dance troupe.

That's it.

And unto Enoch was born Erad, and Erad begat Machuael, and

Machuael begat Lamech.

It's Bog.

You have more notes?

Oh my God, you're hilarious.

What do you need, Tober? I was just calling to see if you wanted to get some

coffee. I would love to brainstorm on a possible collab.

A collab?

What do you mean?

For the screenplay.

I'm not saying that you need me as a co -writer, but it just might be good in

terms of optics.

Given the marketplace.

You know, a younger person?

Listen, I know you're probably fielding a ton of offers.

I mean, you've already got half a million views.

Wait, what?

What are we talking about?

Your cannibal mom story.

When their beloved mother passed away, four daughters took what they loved most

about her.

Her liver, her hands, her eyes, her heart.

They put it all into shopping bags.

They took it to the grave.

Are you serious?

Can you call the rest of my appointments for today and schedule them for

tomorrow?

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

Amen.

Go ahead.

How long has it been since your last confession?

Twelve years?

Yeah.

Probably when I first learned to masturbate.

The priest.

He was really excited about that.

I'm not a confederate.

No.

I just want to talk.

What did it say to you?

What did what?

The spirit of the show last night.

I thought it was whispering in your ear.

A demon?

It's not a demon.

It told me to shed my God in no greatness.

That's demonic.

Everything you don't understand, Father, isn't demonic.

What killed Catherine was.

What killed Catherine was her own guilt.

You had just as much to do with that, Father, as I did.

Did you practice witchcraft?

When two or more men are gathered, it's a church.

When two or more women are gathered, it's

a coven.

What was it?

What did I feel last night?

Pray to it, Father.

Zimbalo!

Ab te zamaro!

Ab te

zamaro. Amarakachunim.

Oh, how I love you.

This is a fact and it's very real.

And cannibal mother starts up to stare with her red eyes glowing.

Oh, we got to go. Mom's going to be home soon.

Oh, you come back. Timothy loves you guys so much. Yeah, we have to finish

story. Yeah.

Laura, what's that?

What?

There, what?

Oh, this?

Thad gave it to me.

Andy gave you this?

Yeah. Why?

When? A few weeks ago, when he fell down. When he was taken away? He wasn't

taken away. He was sick.

Right. Um, did he put this over your bed?

Yeah, he said when I slept, I should put it over my head.

Can I talk to you?

Why was your dad sent away?

Why? Because I need to know. Did your mom tell you why?

He was having addiction issues and he fell down on the floor with a needle.

You are fucking dead!

I'm so drawn to you.

I let you do what you want of me.

You hide your wicked ways.

They're on the side of an instant flame.

Thank you for coming, David.

And thank you for working so hard to locate Father Adiso. You located him?

better. For some reason, General Germer killed himself.

Stabbed himself with his own machete.

Do you know why?

No. He was torturing the captives when he turned the machete on himself.

a confession to make. No.

No, you don't.

It's a good thing, David.

No matter how it happened, it was God's work.

Murder is God's work. If it prevents a greater sin.

How angry would I go into someone who is angry? David, I understand.

But you're saving lives.

Yes?

Excuse me, Father. David.

Megan, what happened?

What did you tell them? Tell who? The movement.

We didn't tell anybody anything.

Why? Why did they do this to me?

I was out on a walk, and then suddenly I heard cackling and whispering all

around me, and then I felt a sharp pain in my side.

I thought it was a cramp at first, and then I smelt burning flesh.

My flesh. They attacked you? Yes, from a distance.

How do you know?

That's what they did with Catherine.

They're dancing in the woods tonight to seek vengeance against anyone who

opposes them. This is what happened the night before Catherine murdered her

kids.

Give what you've got.

Give all the way.

Like falling down without being afraid.

That's not easy, not easy, no.

I'm so glad you came.

Figured it'd be good research.

Come join us for research.

Oh, I'm not sure I know how.

Yes, you do.

It's Gaga.

You just surrender to your body's desire.

Close your eyes.

Feeling your body.

That's not God.

Something more.

No,

that's not easy.

Thank you.

Kristen!

Kristen!

What are you guys doing here? We tried to call you, but you didn't answer.

Megan was attacked tonight.

She thinks this dance harness is black magic.

What? The sigil on her side. She said it was from this dance, just like

Catherine's. Is that Megan Prude? She says it's because of you.

And Catherine's tattoo.

Well, this is Megan's fucked up stuff. That's why we had to kick her out. We

realized she was trying to sabotage us. You know, I can't help but notice that

you and Megan keep pointing fingers at each other. And you're the one pitting

against each other. Guys, come here.

You know what?

Megan's sigil is not identical to Captain's.

On Megan, the sigil is upside down.

So?

Like she did it to herself.

That can mean anything.

Yeah. But this couldn't.

Soot.

From the brand.

Megan Tyree?

Yeah. The killer of Catherine Orlando's children?

Well, you're a little late. The police already arrested her.

You're the princeps demonum necromanticorum.

Time to take credit.

Hello Cheryl.

Leland.

Thank you.

We've seemed inclined this season to just try to make everything difficult

ourselves. So, you know, you're in a particle accelerator, and no, it's not

enough to walk from point A to point B. You need to get the actors on scooters.

I mean, why should anything be simple?

The visual style of the show came about because I directed the pilot and Fred

Murphy was the director of photography on it. And we talked a lot about what

kind of styles, what kind of looks. And there's a black and white movie called

Night of the Hunter. That film has a great deal of headroom everywhere.

Most people are into less headroom and we're quite the opposite.

We're into more space around the characters to get space for the angel

above the characters. Most TV is constructed horizontally.

All our sets are built vertically. They're not horizontal.

We wanted it to be more about a feeling that pointed towards the heavens.

Sir Andrew?

For instance, on The Good Fight, which had this movie ratio, we never saw

feelings. On Evil, all we do is shoot up. It's very low angles.

The minute you get down to three feet or 18 inches or right down to the floor, I

think it turns reality into something special.

Directors invariably go, we've never shot that angle before.

For some reason, this is a season of flashlights. Either they're real

flashlights or they're iPhones.

There's a great deal of lights out.

For example, when we were walking down that.

corridor in the Vatican. Really, the only thing we could light it with is

flashlights, which I love because I think it's great and scary and dark. And

then you can kind of direct the audience with where you want them to see by

where you shine the flashlight.

And sometimes we'll attach a piece of white paper to an off -screen character

and the person can shine a light on him. It bounces back and lights them. It's

actually pretty fun because the actors kind of participate in the process.

Flashlights are scary.

We're lucky we have a brilliant production designer.

Ray is sometimes very responsible for the way the lighting looks.

Like the scenes where David is in remote viewing are often just lit by the

table. What are you seeing?

White is overlooked in the pursuit of horror.

You don't expect horror to happen in an all -white room. You expect horror to

happen... In the darkest room, the smallest space, you're in a closet,

an elevator, that's where scary things happen.

So the whiteness of a space can also be just as intimidating as darkness.

That, I think, is what we tried visually this year.

Will you promote her?

No. She's a woman.

Give her something.

I do think that glass ceiling is one of my favorite visuals. I mean, it's witty.

And so well done by the art department.

Obviously, it's influenced by being John Malkovich. That space you have to crawl

to get under. The glass ceiling is like four foot six high, so she can never

stand up straight.

And then the idea of what's on top began to evolve, and I began to think, well,

it's the men's club.

I'm coming for you, ass.

All these.

partners are you know having drinks and cigars up above looking down on it's a

beautiful metaphor we originally said it was all going to be digital glass and

by the end we're actually walking people on top of it so that was a very nerve

-wracking but exciting moment we had so much fun this year like there's a

demented pig I have nightmares about it and also wonderful memories from filming

the thing.

There was nothing simple about it. So you're like here, right?

It's one thing for me as a director or any director to know what it's like in

your head.

Communicating that to 200 people is a whole different story. So first of all,

storyboards. Storyboards are to inform everybody what's actually going to

so that you know there's going to be a wide shot followed by that shot,

by this shot.

Mostly we storyboard scenes that usually involve any kind of elaborate effect.

The whole idea is to see as little as possible and make it seem scary and that

something could happen at any moment.

The atmosphere on Evil is like everybody is there to help you succeed.

The most exciting things start with an idea that can translate to other

departments. And at the end of the day, we've all helped make this show better.

Good.
