Original subtitles

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

Okay, tell me the ground rules here.

Excuse me?

You have to keep everything I say secret, right? But is that only if I

What if I just want to talk?

It's better if you confess, but if you want to discuss, I'm here to listen.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

I don't know how long it's been since I last confessed, but it doesn't matter

anyway, because this is more an explanation than a confession.

Go ahead.

There's a good chance in the next few weeks I'm going to be murdered, and I

Kristen and my granddaughter to be safe, if I am.

Murdered by whom?

Leland Townsend. Why?

He tried to kill Laura.

That's Kristen's youngest.

I know. And I found out, and I tried to kill him.

Cheryl, if this is true, you need to go to the police.

Father, the 60 have too many friends in the police.

Should I go on?

Why come here? Why not go to Kristen?

I never believed in the power of God or Christ.

All I see when I come here are a lot of sad people mumbling over their rosaries.

People I wouldn't want to spend ten minutes with. But this is the one place

Leland is afraid of. The church.

You keep him up at night.

That's why I'm here.

I need your help.

With?

When I'm dead. If I'm dead.

Tell Kristen.

She needs to protect my...

Leland thinks she's some sort of John the Baptist or the Antichrist.

I'm sorry, what?

Who's the Antichrist? Timothy, a three -month -old baby whose biological

are Leland and Kristen, and I'm no longer allowed near him.

Okay, Father, your turn.

Tell me about your belief in baptism.

What happens if you're baptized?

God cleanses our soul of original sin and brings us sanctifying grace.

Haven't you been baptized?

Not for me.

It's for Timothy.

What happens if the Antichrist is baptized?

No child is beyond saving.

But I was baptized.

And look at me.

Yes. Look at you.

You're here.

No, I'm explaining.

I told you. Cheryl.

You're confessing, and you're thinking only of your daughter and your

grandchildren. That's because...

Father, I

have... I have done things.

But you're here.

I'm here because of Leland, not God.

Cheryl, why is it so hard to think you're being good?

Because your church is such a fucking patriarchy.

It molests altar boys. It treats women like shit. And yet God can use the worst

in us. No, stop it, please. I'm not here for that. I don't want your

forgiveness. I fucking hate you guys.

Thursday morning at 9 a .m., I will have access to Timothy.

Leland trusts his arrogant mother to take him for the mornings, and she lets

come visit and take my grandson for a walk. I will have him for one hour.

when I want to bring him here and have him baptized.

consent. The grandmother's consent.

The father is demonic and the biological mother has no contact. So I would call

these extenuating circumstances father.

You said no child is beyond saving.

So save this child.

Yeah.

Day after tomorrow, 9 a .m. You should tell Kristen what you told me.

Father, how likely is it that Kristen would believe a word of this shit? Give

her the benefit of the doubt. 9 a .m. Thursday, please.

Yes.

They're at the altar here.

Repeat the act of contrition after me.

We have a priority.

Today is not a good day, Father.

There are never good days.

This is about the evil coming to New York.

Someone's life's in danger.

Please.

No need to do that, Father.

That never works.

Not immediately, but in the end.

How do you get this stuff?

Take a moment to absorb the three items.

And now...

If

you successfully remote view, there will be a painting on the wall.

A red painting.

In this shade.

I need you to describe it to me.

Take a moment.

Please. Father, I think it's best that I...

What was that? What did you see?

Nothing.

No? You saw something.

A distraction.

Something I was thinking about before.

An AOL.

Analytical overlay.

Yes. How do I get rid of them?

AOLs are a previous thought.

An image or a thought you had early in the day. Just name all the things you

recognize from your life in the remote viewing, and the object should fade

Nothing. I need to go. David, this is urgent.

And I need to go. This is what I suggest.

Silence your mind with prayer.

That's the way to stop AOLs. Pray until your mind is blank and clean.

Prayer doesn't silence my mind.

Then what does?

Baby, did you really think everybody would forget you?

Open my present first.

No, we made you a cake. Presents.

Cake. Presents.

Are you okay? I know you hate surprises.

No, this was good.

You happy?

The happiest I've ever been.

Ready? Almost, almost.

All right, open.

Happy birthday to you.

No, no.

Hey!

How did you guys know it was my birthday?

We pay attention. Oh, look at you, all alone in here. I really thought you

have some wild priestly orgy for your 40th birthday. No, pray for your souls,

that's all.

Oh, God.

Interesting decoration.

Yeah, cute, right? The girls made it. Each of them got a fourth of the cake to

decorate. Oh, who did the red one? Lexis.

Red's her favorite color these days.

How are they doing? Who, the girls?

Fine. Why? Just wondering since Andrew's gone.

Oh, yeah, I mean, they're fine.

Lynn's picking up a lot of the slack.

Oh, oh, oh. She's getting so old.

All right, what do you got to drink?

Nothing. Exactly.

And why we brought a clerk.

Before you guys knocked on my door, I had a vision in here.

Oh, Jake.

Yeah. I came in from this run, and I saw a man's birthday party.

He's about my age.

He's probably in public relations or something.

His name was Tyler.

That was his name, yeah.

And he stood right there.

No, no, no. He came in the door, and it was a surprise party for him. It was a

lot of friends.

Wife. His two daughters.

And they all stood over there.

And then?

Nothing. It was just weird.

It was so real.

That was your whole vision? It's not very dramatic.

No demons.

So...

This is about you wondering what life would have been like if you'd made

different choices?

No.

You think that's what it was about?

An idyllic version of family life? Sure.

How'd you feel afterwards?

Good.

I liked him.

She's not charging you for this session either.

What did he look like?

Like you?

No. This is all I was...

Working on a remote session.

Ah, the Vatican CIA.

They want you to kill someone.

No.

And it all felt real?

Yeah, it did.

Like I knew him.

I think this is all about you turning 40.

That's the age when there's no turning back. Your future is set.

Thanks. So nice.

Well... David, I'm glad you're not some 40 -year -old PR guy living in Brooklyn

with two kids.

Did I say Brooklyn?

Did you? I don't think so.

But now that you said that, seems right.

All right, well, we should let her go.

Or not.

Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?

If I stay, there will be trouble.

If I go, it will be double.

So come on and let me know.

Should I stay or should I go?

This will be dry by tomorrow, yes? Because I need it dry by tomorrow.

We'll have to run the fans overnight.

Yeah.

Can't you read the sign?

Oh,

sir. How are you?

In a doorbell ringing mood. Sir, I didn't mean you, obviously. Come on in.

We have the crib.

Perfect. We're just finishing up the preparations here.

Watch out. The paint is still wet.

Jeez. What the hell is that noise?

Oh. That's the little Dickon, sir, just woke up from a nap. He calms down after

a while.

It won't cry like that tomorrow.

It shouldn't, sir. I'll be right back.

Dr.

Box's office. The offices are closed now. Who's this? Where's Robin? This is

Sarah. I replaced her. Okay.

Robin promised to send me some audio files from another patient. A Christian.

And who are you? Dr.

Townsend. I'm approved.

I'm sorry, Dr.

Townsend. I actually have a note here to deny you access.

In fact, that was the reason why Robin was let go.

Someone called to say she was illegally downloading files.

Cheryl, you fucking bitch.

I need you to come tomorrow to take him for a few hours.

It's him.

Okay. You want me to take him Wednesday?

I just said that.

Okay, but I can't bring him back until Thursday.

Why? Because I have a life.

Look, if you want someone who can take him for just an hour, call Cheryl. No,

no, no, no. Sure, Thursday.

But you have to come here tomorrow morning to pick him up. No problem.

Good job.

And you need him at what?

9 a .m. Thursday. I should be done by 10.

What are you doing?

You're up late. What are you doing?

Just sitting here.

In the dark?

It's been so long.

I know.

We have to start seeing people again.

And we have to stop this mourning.

I know.

Are you thinking about James?

I guess.

I was thinking he'd be seven. Don't do this to yourself.

I just don't understand.

We prayed to God. We did everything.

It was the driver's fault, not God's. I know.

I just need to rest.

Come to bed.

I will.

I need a few minutes.

I love you.

I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose any of us.

I want us to always be together.

No, no, no You

can't

No! God, help him, please.

God, help him.

Make him stop.

Make him...

God. Kai, don't forget to kiss the girl.

I will.

What do I do, God?

What?

Who is this? The man from my remote viewing. I saw him at his 40th birthday

party. Did you see a red painting?

No.

Any of the other totems?

No, but he tried to kill himself and his family.

It's an AOL.

You need to refocus.

Father, this is the most extensive vision I've ever had, based on your

coordinates. Isn't it more likely that you were distracted by a vision of

someone whose birthday was on the same day as yours?

At first, I thought I had an affinity for this man.

But now I think I'm supposed to intervene before he kills his family.

your mission.

Evil coming to New York is your mission.

This is evil. No.

Refocus. Start again.

No.

I need to find out who this man is.

Come in, David.

How'd you know it was me?

Your knock?

What do you need?

I have a question about returning to a vision.

I need to return to a vision.

Why? I saw a man planning to kill himself and his family.

I need to find where he lives.

That doesn't sound like a vision.

You're right.

It's something Father Dominic asked me to practice.

What is that?

Remote viewing.

Remote viewing is... I know what it is, David. I need you to leave.

What's wrong?

You have a gift, a talent given to you from God, and you use

it on magic tricks.

Sister, please have a little more respect for me.

This is to stop a man from killing himself and his family.

Wait.

The Heavenly Court.

What about it?

Play it.

I don't recognize him.

I thought you said this guy had a perfect family. I thought he did.

He lost his son.

I think it was a car accident.

Now he's suicidal.

Actually, he's worse than suicidal. He's thinking of killing his family.

Oh, my God.

And you don't know where he is? No.

All I know is that I recognize the drawing on his desk.

The black angel.

The angel with the lamp?

Yeah. The one Adina drew.

Wait, I don't understand.

What was he doing with that drawing? I don't know.

Maybe he knew Adina.

That's all I could think. Well, you know enough to Google him. I mean, Tyler,

his son was killed in a car accident. I did.

Nothing. I couldn't find a thing.

All right, let's go.

Where? Well, either we're going to talk about it, or we're just going to go talk

to Adina, right?

Let's go.

So if you get the bottle under warm water, then you can test it.

I think he likes it.

It's him.

Don't worry, Leland, he... Fine.

Listen, I need him now. No. Tomorrow, 10 a .m. We agreed.

Things change. D .F. wants to see him tonight.

Last look.

He wants him now. Tell him you're not home. I'm not at home. I'm at a play

Who approved a play date? No.

I'm coming now.

I won't be home.

Then I'll wait.

I need an hour.

Okay, Leland, give me until 8. No.

Is that enough time? It'll have to be.

Oh, shit.

Uh, yeah, I need to speak with David, Father Acosta.

I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Do you know where he is?

No.

No, no one is here.

Are you a priest?

Yes. What's wrong, ma 'am? Bundle him up, we're going.

Yeah, I was supposed to have my son baptized tonight, my grandson.

David was supposed to do it, and I don't have any time. He can baptize him

tomorrow. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Father, please, it has to happen tonight.

My husband is taking him, Timothy, on a plane, and I'm worried about his health,

the disposition of his soul.

Well... I have no way to contact David. But you can baptize him, right? You can

do it right now.

Okay, I'm on my way over. I'll see you in 20 minutes. Ma 'am, no!

Okay.

Wait, wait. I still have Crimson's Christmas account.

David, call me when you can.

Someone's bringing their baby here to be baptized.

Whoa!

Sounded like a bomb!

Yep. The weather's getting weirder these days.

Deadlier.

Global warming.

I think God's angry.

I would be, too.

That's the kind of sound I'd make if I were God.

So, is this a new service from the church?

Checking up on us? Um, do you recognize this man?

Yes. Who drew this?

I did. Oh.

Well, you need to work on your shading.

No, I don't recognize him. Um, Adina, after you saw the lady with the lamb,

drew her for us? Yeah. We're looking for someone who might have that drawing.

The angel drawing?

Mm -hmm.

I don't have it.

Did you give it to someone?

No, I never had it. You don't have it?

Uh, did you draw it again?

No. Not even for an inspiration?

She was not an inspiration.

She took my career.

I haven't drawn since.

I mean, I'm glad that she saved me, but sometimes I wonder if God's just stingy.

He gives with one hand and takes with the other.

I know.

Blasphemy.

I need a job.

God, give me a job.

You think Ignatius had it?

I don't remember putting it in the file.

Maybe Tyler's wife works for the church.

Or... Or?

With remote viewing, there's this thing called AOLs.

Analytical overlays. Yeah, I know, I know. It's some impression that

the mind. Like a novel or a TV show.

Suddenly, elements of those thoughts appear in your remote viewing. So you're

saying you might not have seen the angel drawing at all?

Not in Tyler's home.

May have been on my mind my work together Could it also

be that Tyler doesn't exist

You googled them and the

son's accident you found nothing and some of your vision is turning out to be

wrong So is it possible?

That all of this is a trick of the mind

I'm sorry, we're closed till 6 a .m., Matt. I need your help. I'm here for a

baptism.

Tonight? No, it's too late. No, I called. He said to come.

I know you, don't I? From Father Acosta's party.

Yes, right.

I'm Cheryl, Kristen's mom. You're a sister or something.

Father Acosta's not here, but I'll tell him that you came by. We seem to be

having a block out. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, please.

I can't come tomorrow. No, I have to baptize my grandson.

It has to happen now.

Why is that, dear?

No, I just... There's a chance he won't...

Okay, he's the antichrist, all right?

Leland Townsend is his father.

Oh, I know. I'm sorry. It's his diaper.

I'll get Father at night.

Father.

Where are the parents?

I can't do anything without them. Father, I'm the grandmother. I'm the

guardian. Yes, but I need signatures of the parents.

No, you don't. Yes, I do.

Why not? Because I'm standing in for them.

Sister. Father, trust me.

You need to baptize him now.

Over here.

Oh, no.

I think the pipes are frozen. No baptismal water. Oh, come on.

Let's just do it tomorrow.

No.

Hold on.

Mouth water, sister?

Rain water.

Let's do it.

Thank you. Father, you give us grace through sacramental signs which tell us

the wonders of your unseen power.

Bless this water in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Place the baby over the font or here.

Almighty God, You sent your only son into the world to cast out the evil of

Satan, to rescue man from darkness and bring him into your kingdom of light.

We pray for this child, Timothy, and his christening name.

What is your first name, Father?

Francis. Timothy Francis.

Timothy Francis.

Set him free from original sin.

Make him a temple of your glory and send your Holy Spirit to dwell with him.

We ask this in the name of Christ our Lord.

I ask you, O Father, to free this child from original sin and to watch over him.

I anoint you with this in the name of Christ.

Is it your will that Timothy Francis should be baptized in the name and the

faith of the church? Yes, yes it is. And is it your will that Timothy Francis

should be baptized? Yes.

Cheryl, do you reject Satan?

I do. And all his works?

I do. And his empty promises? Of course.

Do you believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit, the Catholic

Church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, and life

everlasting? Yes, yes, all of the above.

Timothy Francis, I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the

Spirit.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you, Sister.

Would you both mind holding him for one second? I just want to take a quick

photo.

Certainly. Thank you.

Okay.

Say Jesus.

Jesus. Jesus.

Okay.

Can I get that baptismal certificate now?

Like Martin Luther, motherfucker.

Okay, are you real or not?

I want us to have a nice night, just you, me, and the kids, just the four of

Well, what about my parents? They want to come over.

No, just you, me, and the kids. I want everybody to have exactly what they want

for dinner, pancakes, steak.

Well, let's not flourish yet. We still have to shop for the kids' private

school. Don't worry about it. I want us to have a really nice night together.

I'll talk the kids out.

Well, you're making it sound pretty final. Are you okay?

I just want us to be together.

Okay, let me take this.

No, I won't put it away.

I want you to go to bed.

Tomorrow is gonna be a beautiful day.

I love you.

Who's there?

Anybody there?

He's real.

So we're not here to ask Ignatius for a new case?

No, not yet. I need you to help me. I'm going to try to remove the overlays from

the remote viewing this time.

How do you do that?

I'll announce what I see when I remote view.

Objects that you think are from my life, you'll write them down and you'll

repeat them out loud.

And if they're overlays, they'll disappear.

That's it?

In theory, yeah.

Oh, David.

Do you have a minute?

Sure.

What are you thinking about all this?

I think we're all entitled to one wild goose chase and this is David's.

Look at you. All philosophical.

Kristen, you don't know the half of it.

I'm sorry. She was supposed to come this morning.

Yeah, she was in quite a hurry. It was a very odd baptism. Why? What happened?

There was a blackout.

And the pipes froze.

It was like someone was trying to prevent it. But the baby was baptized.

Yes. Sister Andrea helped.

She seemed quite moved.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you for handling it. So, your next case... Actually, Father, could we

delay this until tomorrow?

Your Father Dominic business?

Yes. Certainly.

But I would suggest, David, you watch out for him.

I don't trust him.

What is that?

The heavenly court.

Why? It makes it easiest to remote view.

Here we go.

A desk with some books and papers on it.

A stained glass lamp on top.

Uh, David, I think that's yours.

You're right.

Some throw pillows.

Red and green.

Side table, three in a row.

Nested. Jack in the box. That's odd.

What does it look like?

Red and yellow top.

Blue in the middle.

Oh, we had a jack -in -the -box at that toy store a few months ago. Yeah.

Great.

There's a doll in the corner with a broken face.

Oh. Uh, from our case?

That infested doll?

It's gone.

Book's on a shelf.

This could be mine.

Medieval to minimalism. Yep, yep, you got that one.

Another book. I think it's theirs.

Feeling Your Way Through It.

Feeling Your Way Through What?

That's the title.

I know that book.

What color?

Yellow. Why?

It's a book about depression.

Makes sense. He's working his way through depression.

No, no. I think I know how to find your guy.

How? It's a self -help book.

Dr. Boggs gives to all of his patients.

Don't you ever change plans on me like that again. I didn't change plans. You

weren't home last night. I wasn't home because I was out with the manager last

night and I was supposed to have the baby. Well, he's here now, not crying,

sobbing. So please, stop your bitching.

Kristen, hi.

It's nice to hear from you, but it's not a great time.

Just entering a session. Hey, Dr. Boggs, this is Father David. Sorry to bother

you, but we believe you have a patient in need of immediate care. His name is

Tyler. Many patients. Kristen, what's going on? We believe one of your

has severe suicidal ideation and murderous intent, and we need you to

find him. Kristen, I don't have a patient named Tyler, but even if I did,

couldn't divulge to you anything of his identity.

Kurt keep an eye out. We think this guy might kill his family. I'll talk to you

later

Anxiety and depression are the two strongest enemies of emotional health,

the death of a child is hard to imagine.

I'm sorry.

Did you look through the book I gave you?

Yes.

I just find it all so impractical.

I wake up every day thinking about what I could have done differently.

I don't blame myself. I just...

Wish there was a reset button.

How's your husband?

He's doing the best he can while grieving.

Have you considered couples counseling?

No.

Tyler would never agree to that.

Excuse me?

He'd never agree to couples counseling.

Your husband's name is Tyler?

Yes. Why?

Nothing. Just... I want to get my notes in order. Can you excuse me for a

second? I forgot to tell my assistant something.

Kristen, can you... I need you to come to my office right now.

Um, sorry, Kurt. Can I call you right back? No.

I mean, I can't tell you much. But I am sitting with a patient for another half

hour. Tyler? No.

It's a woman.

His wife?

Again, I can't tell you much. I have to get back.

Ms. Bouchard, are we bothering you?

No, Father.

But we'll have to come back later.

That's it.

So we follow her, then what?

Meet Tyler.

And?

I don't know.

Thank you.

This did not happen.

You are the Antichrist.

All honor to you.

All honor to you.

Recognize the building?

Yeah. The one.

I think I know where I went wrong on my remote viewing.

Wait, has that always been in there?

Yeah.

You never know when you're gonna need it.

What, to get out of parking tickets?

So what floor is Leland on? Nine.

So she's one floor down.

The world is getting smaller and smaller.

Clean your room, girl.

Hello. Hi.

Is Tyler home?

No, he's on his way home from work. May I help you?

Daniela?

Yes. Hi, I'm Father David Acosta. I'm here on behalf of St. Agnes Academy.

Your husband reached out to us for more information about our private school

scholarships.

Tyler did?

Uh -huh.

He wanted us to come by and talk with you about our school and the generous

scholarships we offer.

Oh, this is Kristen.

I am a mother of four daughters at the school, and I'm here to recommend it.

And Ben is a teacher of advanced science.

I love the school.

and science.

I'm sorry.

Everything's a mess.

No, no, no.

We're just going through a rough patch, and it doesn't help that the dishwasher

is broken.

Oh. You want me to take a look at it? Pretty handy with that kind of stuff.

Advanced science teacher and handyman.

A real renaissance man.

Hello. Hi.

Are you... Who are you?

Father Acosta.

What are you doing here?

Excuse me?

God told me you were thinking of hurting yourself and your family.

I'm here to prevent that.

I don't know what you're hearing.

Is this from Daniela?

Did she talk to you?

No.

God was in your room last night.

You reached out.

You were drinking tequila and looking at your gun.

That presence you felt in the room, that was God.

He saw you and showed himself to you to prove that he is not absent.

He has not abandoned you or your family.

He didn't want to.

It was only going to be me. But the more I thought about it, they had to come

and I had to plan. What did you have to plan, Tyler?

Our deaths.

I'd always felt a little empty.

It was bearable at first, but... My son!

James.

Oh, my God.

What do I do?

God told me what you need to do.

He needs you to come with me and get help.

He needs you to go into a treatment program.

Then you can return to your family.

Anything.

I'll do anything.

Now our masterpiece is complete.

Welcome to the new age.
