- KRISTEN: You're training to be a priest?
-I am.

Also, an assessor.

My colleague Ben and I are hired
by the Church to investigate

unexplained phenomenon,
and to recommend whether

there should be an exorcism
or further research.

Possession looks a lot like insanity
and insanity looks a lot like possession.

I need someone to help me
distinguish between the two.

I don't believe in all that.
Devils and possession.

DAVID: That's okay.

KRISTEN: You don't care
that I don't believe?

I do not.

LEWIS:
We came into an opportunity overnight.

Another forensic psychologist.

You're just gonna overturn
everything I did on those two cases?

Argue to release the guilty,
imprison the innocent?

Yeah.

Here's the most important
thing to remember about David:

he sells himself as this good man,

but ask him about the second time
he saw God.

KRISTEN: This guy Townsend,
you know him?

DAVID: I've seen him.
In other... guises.

I'm sorry. Am I distracting you?

DAVID: There are six
types of possession.

First is demonic possession.

It's when a demon takes
over a person's body

without their consent.
It's what you see in most movies.

It involves speaking in tongues,

sudden personality changes,
sudden violence,

even superhuman strength.

The next type of possession
is physical pain.

This is a sickness or
an injury due to a demon

being inside a person.

It doesn't impact the soul,
just the body.

The third is diabolic oppression.

This is when a demon torments a person,

causing tragic events in their lives...

the loss of a loved one,
the loss of a job, a home.

Basically, the story of Job.

The fourth type of possession
is diabolical infestation.

It's when demonic entities
take over a house,

an object, even an animal.

Fifth is diabolical subjugation.

It's when the possessed
invites the demon into their lives.

They do this through game play
or pledging their soul to the devil.

KRISTEN: That's a real thing?
People pledging their souls?

It's real in that
if a human wants power,

they can trade away their future
for that power.

Oh, so you mean it as metaphor?

No, I think a lot of what we consider
metaphor is real.

Are you texting?

No, I'm taking notes.
Um, and the last kind of possession?

That's why we're here.

The monsignor wants us to look into
a case of diabolical obsession.

It's when a person has constant,
overwhelming and irrational thoughts,

making them act in perverse ways.

It's hard to detect
because it's the most

highly functional
of all the possessions.

But it can lead to suicidal ideation.
And murder.

I mean, couldn't all these conditions
have a psychological explanation?

Sure. That's why you're here.

- Ready?
- Yep. I'm ready.

He wasn't like this before.

I mean, he's always been
hard on us, cruel even,

but he's become... violent.

I don't know what to do.
We've tried everything: therapy, pills...

So... Sorry, I don't understand.

- Is this your husband?
- Oh, no. He's my boss.

Patti is one of our best parishioners.
I told her we could look into it.

So you think your boss
is possessed?

- I think he does things he can't control.
- DAVID: Such as...?

I said to charge it overnight!

This is a lemon poppy seed!
I said blueberry!

[SHOUTS] I hate fine point!

Medium heavy!

Well, he's fired 67 assistants
in the last six months,

and I have a collection
of cell phones

because he's constantly
throwing them.

Patti, I understand this is unpleasant,

but this doesn't sound like possession.

It feels like you should
be calling human resources.

- Yeah.
- Well, we're under 50 employees.

- We don't have an HR.
- Why don't you quit?

Well, I hired all the assistants,
and I feel responsible.

I mean, I believe in the work.

- DAVID: What is the work?
- I work for Byron Duke.

- The Broadway producer?
- Yes.

Oh, my God. He's great.

My daughters and I,
we saw the Roald Dahl musical last year.

It was just... It was amazing.

PATTI: Thank you. I could get you tickets
for the next one if you want.

Oh, I would want. That would be great.

Yes, please. Please, yes.

So you can see why this matters to me.

- He's a genius.
- Yeah. He is.

I mean, he's always had issues,
but six months ago, something happened.

He lost the Tony and he became angrier.

And then things started to happen.

DAVID: What kind of things?

Show them the video.

BYRON: No! Oh, go to hell.

I said go to hell!

No! No, we have got a deal
with the estate, not with you.

[STAMMERS] What is that?

- What is that?
- KORECKI: Blood.

He's sweating blood.

PATTI: Also, whenever he enters
the office, it gets colder.

The temperature drops, like, ten degrees,
and we all have to wear jackets.

And I keep on checking the thermostat
but it's unchanged.

And then when he leaves,
it gets warmer again.

Two physical manifestations.

We only need two for the Church to act.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Fiona, hi, it's Kristen. What's up?

- They reversed you.
- They? Who?

This new forensic psychologist.
He reversed your conclusions.

I thought this was settled
weeks ago when you testified.

You said my son was too young
to be tried as an adult!

Well, he is. He's only 15.

This new guy's saying the opposite!

They're gonna crucify him, Kristen.

Please help me.

Okay, I'll see you in ten minutes.

It's a case of anger management,
Monsignor. Not possession.

KORECKI: Then you'll find that out.

You said yourself, the Church keeps
focusing on Evil with a capital

and not everyday evils.

Well... here's everyday evil.

Help her.

CORMIER: So it's your recommendation

that Adam Plemmons
should be tried not as a minor,

- but as an adult?
- Yes. The defendant's score on

the MMPI-A questionnaire
reflected average

- or above average cognitive functioning.
- [DOOR OPENS]

CORMIER:
I have to ask you, Dr. Townsend,

because if I don't,
the defense attorney will.

Your findings are diametrically
opposed to those

of the previous forensic psychologist.
How do you account for that?

I cannot account for my
predecessor's conclusions.

I do know that she has a tendency
to let her heart lead her head,

and I think that she was moved
by the mother of the accused.

- Ms. Jacobs.
- What do you need?

- I want to help.
- It's a little late, isn't it?

- The judge already ruled.
- Tell them you have a rebuttal witness.

You're bound by your agreement
with the D.A.

- You can't testify.
- I'm not testifying about the case.

I'm testifying about Dr. Townsend.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Look, I promised to give you
20 minutes so Patti

doesn't drop a #MeToo dime on me.

- [CHUCKLES]
- So you think you're vulnerable

- to the #MeToo issues?
- I didn't say that.

Hey, there's a reason
Harvey Weinstein went down.

I don't use sex,
and I'm much more talented.

- Who's this?
- Kristen Bouchard.

Ah, if you're really Patti's
church people, say some prayers,

sprinkle some holy water.
Come on, get going, get going.

- DAVID: Is that what you want?
- What I want is for you

to get this over with
so I can roll my calls, huh?

Do I have anger issues? Maybe.

But I'm a perfectionist.
I... I'm a demanding person.

And I am surrounded by
millennial nonentities.

Here, look, look.
Two spaces after every period.

How many times
do I have to tell them? One!

- Does it matter?
- Everything matters.

Perfection matters!

Patti said, uh, something changed
six months ago,

- when you lost an award.
- An award? Oh, holy God! The Tony!

- So, you did change?
- No.

I decided that, uh,
rule number 14 made sense:

"Be volatile and
torture your underlings."

- Rule number 14 of...?
- "The 53 Rules of Dominance."

Ah. Oh, now...

now we are getting somewhere.

You follow it, too, huh?

I know it.
A manual for hard-driving executives.

"How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Caring."

Mm-hmm. Well, if you know it,
then you know it's not evil.

And what Patti,
in her sweet little religious heart,

thinks is evil,
is just plain good sense.

[CHUCKLES]

You're kind of making me
nervous back here.

You got some blood on your collar there.

BYRON: What are you, a dry cleaner?

- Go sit down.
- You're sweating blood.

- Why are you sweating blood?
- What the hell are you talking about?

- DAVID: Did you have that checked out?
- It doesn't need checking.

[CHUCKLING] Oh, my God.

[LAUGHS] He's going bald.

Get the hell out of my office!

He has hair plugs.

They've become infected,
so he should go to a doctor.

And otherwise, he's got
a narcissistic personality disorder.

DAVID: We'll point you toward
some health professionals,

but we don't see any
signs of possession.

- [BYRON SHOUTING OVER VIDEO]
- Patti?

Can you look at this?

- No!
- I have access to his webcam

so I can track
his blood sugar levels during meetings.

God, this is your fault!

KRISTEN: Who's he talking to?

BYRON: They know it's you!

- This is going on right now?
- PATTI: Mm-hmm. It's in his inner office.

[BYRON GROANING]

[GASPING] No!

Let go! Let go or I'll kill you.

Damn you, Joe!

- A diabolical obsession?
- We don't know.

He seems like he's just a bad boss.

But we saw him yelling and fighting
with something.

But we don't know what.

Did you have a health care
professional there?

Yes. She thought it was narcissistic
personality disorder,

but then she saw the video
of him fighting. She's not sure.

- So there's video.
- No, just a webcam.

- [SIGHS]
- Not recorded.

Well, then record it.

I've got three exorcisms
in the next two weeks.

I'll need evidence to justify work
on a mere diabolical obsession.

Understood.

David.

Come here.

There's something else.

I had another vision.

What?

I've been hearing about The 60.

In assessments.

It's some kind of coordination.

Evil becoming organized.

And I thought I saw
something in my vision.

But now it's just a feeling.

Write it down.

Get a notebook, and write down
everything you can remember.

Everything.

As soon as you write down the first thing,
the next will follow, and the next.

Symbols matter.

This is warfare, and we're fighting
the worst enemy on Earth,

whose only vulnerability is
that they reveal themselves

in symbols and numbers.

They can't help it.

God draws in straight lines.

The devil draws in puzzles and anagrams.

Write it down?

Write it down. Visions matter.

LELAND: ♪ Oh, Lydia, oh, Lydia

♪ Say, have you met Lydia?

♪ Lydia, the tattooed lady

♪ She has eyes that men adore so

♪ And a torso even more so

[LELAND LAUGHING]

LELAND: Ah,
now we're getting somewhere.

Yes. Sexy.

No, no, do the breasts bigger.

What does he even mean,

"We reveal ourselves
through symbol and anagram"?

I hate anagrams. I like straight talk.
Don't you, David?

Can't we, you and I, just straight talk?

[LAUGHS]

Anger management. Now, we all get angry.

But when you feel
a temper fit coming on,

what do you do?

Personify it.

Personify your anger.

This is Paul.
He's the personification of my anger.

Whenever I get angry, I blame him.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

I know, I know, but it works.

I take a deep breath,
and I realize I'm not angry,

Paul is angry.

And I subdue him.

I yell, "Paul, it's your fault. Yours!"

I even take Paul by the throat.

Paul, you will not control me.

I will control you.

Kristen.

- Thank you for returning, Doctor.
- No problem.

Um...

Mr. Townsend...
excuse me, Dr. Townsend...

it's already been
established that you disagree

with the conclusions of your predecessor.

That is correct.

And I see she's in court right now.

- Could you point her out?
- Yes. Um, Kristen Bouchard.

CORMIER: And why shouldn't
we take her word over yours?

Objection! This was covered
in yesterday's testimony.

Yes, but we have new evidence the doctor
would like to impart, Your Honor.

Yeah, it's a pretrial hearing, Ms. Jacobs.
You'll have time to cross.

Were you not passed evidence
that made you question

Ms. Bouchard's legal ethics?

Yes, I'm sorry to say.
Ms. Bouchard is in therapy

for... personal issues.

But an anonymous Good Samaritan
sent me therapy notes...

Objection! Therapy notes are covered
by physician-patient privilege.

Only if Ms. Bouchard is the accused.

She's being proposed
as an expert witness, Your Honor.

Her reliability is in question,
and these notes undercut that reliability.

All right, let me hear the evidence,
and then I'll rule.

CORMIER: Thank you, Your Honor.

But if I put you on the stand,
what are you gonna say?

- That Adam should be tried as a juvenile.
- That's not what I'm asking,

and you know that's not what I'm asking.

Look, I've said things in therapy
that are personal and...

...prospective. They weren't true.
They were potentialities.

But you said that you were attracted to
these people that you interviewed?

I said I had feelings.
I mean, feelings as in I...

- I care for them, I... like them.
- Okay.

- So I need you to step back from this.
- I can refute Dr. Townsend.

No. You've been burned.
I need you to step back.

[CRYING QUIETLY]

[ENGINE STARTS]

I don't know what the hell
you are talking about.

PATTI: Let them help you, Byron.

- You are so past your sell-by date, Patti.
- [DOOR OPENS]

- DAVID: Who is Joe?
- BYRON: What are you talking about?

DAVID: We saw you yesterday
yelling at someone called Joe.

BYRON: I don't know a Joe!

You're gaslighting me. You got to stop.

You're personifying your anger.

What?

You gave your anger the name "Joe,"
and you're trying to subdue it.

It's an anger management tool.

BYRON: I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Listen, you want us out of here,
just admit it's anger management.

Who the hell are you, lady?

Somebody who enjoys your shows,
but thinks you're being a bit of a dick.

Genius doesn't mean you can treat people
any way you want.

It means shutting up
and doing good work.

You are so dead.

What?

You're dead.

Why are we dead?

Tell 'em, Joe.

Come on, there is no Joe, just admit it.

- It's just you.
- Tell 'em, Joe.

[SIGHS]

JOE: I am the buyer of souls.

And yours only cost a Tony.

Joe?

JOE: Hello.

- Someone is hacking him.
- KRISTEN: You're sure?

This is my world. Welcome to it.
It's a virtual assistant.

It's supposed to have
a programmed voice,

but the hacker is broadcasting
from the outside interactively.

Can a thermostat also be controlled?

Yes. Yes. Yes, because it's
got smart-home technology,

so it can make the temperature
go up and down.

That's why it keeps getting cold
every time he arrives.

- Who did this?
- DAVID: And the problem is,

he's got a lot of enemies.

KRISTEN: 67 fired assistants
over six months.

Look, I think the hacker
is using the Wi-Fi, okay?

I need you to keep him online.
I'm gonna find out his IP.

DAVID: Hello?

JOE: Hello.

What do you want?

What do you want?

You've gone to great effort
to talk to Mr. Duke.

So what do you want from him?

What do you want from him?

You know it's an easy thing
just to turn you off.

It's an easy thing to turn you off.

Okay.

It won't matter.
We don't need an "on" button.

Who's "we"?

That's for me to know
and for you to find out.

So you've been turning
the thermostat down

when Mr. Duke enters the office?

Yes. And I control the sun
and the moon.

Very clever of you to figure that out.

[KNOCKING]

It's coming from
the coffee shop downstairs.

I need you to go down there,
and in about five minutes,

I'm gonna emit
a high-pitched tone into it.

- Let me know who reacts.
- Okay.

You must want something.

Fun. Isn't that what we all want, David?

You heard my name?

"Diabolical obsession," huh?
It sounds made up.

So you don't think Mr. Duke
is diabolically obsessed?

No. I think you're
diabolically obsessed.

[INAUDIBLE]

BEN: How many people
are on computers?

KRISTEN: About... 20.

- Any gamer headsets?
- One.

- And, uh, earbuds?
- Seven.

- No, wait. Eight.
- Okay, focus on them.

[LOUD, HIGH-PITCHED TONE]

[HIGH-PITCHED TONE OVER PHONE]

Nothing.

- No reaction.
- JOE: Ah. 105 decibels.

I'm terrified, Ben.

Hold on.

So, have you been investigating us?

You seem to know our names.

I'm gonna turn off the Wi-Fi
for about 15 minutes.

[SCREECHING OVER SPEAKER]

[GROWLING, SCREAMING]

[DISTORTED LAUGHTER]

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE:
Hell is 3,400 miles from New York.

- There are tolls on these routes.
- [SCREECHING]

[DEVICE BEEPS]

[OVERLAPPING SCREAMING]

[DISTORTED LAUGHTER]

- So, is that a prank?
- Well, we don't know.

Mr. Duke has fired 67 assistants
over the last year,

and one of them may have
hacked his virtual assistant.

So then, we're moving on?

David?
You seem uncomfortable.

Well, our tech adviser can't tell

who or how the device was hacked.

And the voices that are coming
out of it are, um... bizarre.

[INDISTINCT]

It's odd, David living here.

Yeah. Doesn't seem like him, right?

[DOOR OPENS]

[DAVID SIGHS]

- They want us to keep working on it.
- Yes.

- Any thoughts on how the hacker did it?
- Oh, yeah.

I think he's using Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.

So, I am gonna try to reverse the hack...
with a trap.

Hmm. Just be careful.

Okay, but why? About what?

Well, I don't know
what we're dealing with.

[CHUCKLES]

We're dealing with a hacker.

Little side hobby here?

[CHUCKLES] No, I'm trying
to decipher something

in my dreams.

- Can I ask you a personal question?
- Sure.

Do the scandals bother you?

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

You mean the Church scandals?

Yes. A lot.

But how can you...

Why become a priest?

I believe in God.

I believe God wants me
to become a priest.

And their treatment of gays?

Do you agree with that?

No.

Does this bother you, talking about it?

No.

It's just... there's so many things
wrong with the Church. That's...

That's one of the reasons
we need good people.

And you don't mind...

...all that it requires of you?

[CHUCKLES]

I mind.

But I also think that
the most important things in life

are the hardest to obtain.

Sometimes I just wonder
what you're about. Uh...

I was embedded with six Marines.

And I was surprised
how much I...

...loved them.

Their sense of commitment.

You know, I spent most of my life
breaking commitments.

Moving from one place to another,

one person to another.

And I realized I didn't like myself.

These guys were the first ones
in the building

and the last ones out of it.

And I wanted to be that.

I wanted that level of commitment.

I was just, uh, turning the light on.

Yeah.
I was gonna leave anyway.

I like talking to you.

Me, too. With you.

Oh, by the way, that sketch?

I think it's Salvator Mundi.

It's what?

Salvator Mundi,
the painting by da Vinci.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SOFT WHOOSHING]

Nipples.

Climax.

Curve of the breasts.

Pressing against her.

Before,

behind, between.

Above,

below.

[LAUGHS]

- What are you doing?
- Geez! Don't do that.

How'd you get in?

Oh, God. Um, I still have a key.

- Where's Dad?
- Sleeping.

What's that?
You gave Dad one already.

I know. This is for work.

- Your work with your priest?
- Yes, with my priest.

How do you broadcast from this
without using Wi-Fi?

- Bluetooth.
- No, I already scanned it

- for a Bluetooth signal.
- Cellular.

Nope, it's not cellular-enabled.

Can be adapted.

Really? How?

I hate how you do this.
I am in the middle of my work

and you pull me into one
of your stupid things.

How can it be adapted?

Leland! Leland!

You forgot your notes.

Oh, Kristen.

Can't stay away from me, can you?

- What do you want?
- Why are you doing this to Adam?

What good could it possibly do you?

Young Adam is 140 pounds
of wet clay yet to find its form.

Adult prison will mold
the man he is to become.

Harden him, harden his heart,

make him more...

...susceptible.

Susceptible to what?

Ask David.

I want my therapist's notes back.
The ones you stole.

Oh, I think not.

They make for such
wonderful bedtime reading.

Why don't you just get back
on the stand and tell the truth?

This is so sad, you coming here
thinking you could, what?

Play on my better nature?

[CHUCKLES] Is that really your plan?

- Look, he's just a kid.
- His second prison rape and he won't be.

If you knew what you were playing with,
Kristen, you would be staying at home

and protecting those cute little girls.

Anything in there?

Wires.

- Really? Thank you.
- I don't know.

This is all looking pretty pristine.

- I don't think it's been tampered with.
- Then, what?

I don't know. You should take it
back there and check the signals.

Or?

- Or what?
- I don't know.

Sounded like you were about to say,
"Or..." something smart.

- No, I wasn't. I was just...
- [SINISTER CACKLING]

Is Dad awake?

JOE: Hello. What are you wearing?

Hello?

You are getting warmer.

That's Dad's.

You are red hot, Ben.

The Crimean Bridge
is the longest span in Europe.

It is 19,000 meters long
and was built in 2018.

Who is this?

"This" is the singular
proximal demonstrative pronoun

used to identify a specific person
or thing close at hand

or being indicated or experienced.

[WHISPERING] This hacker's good.

Yeah, but how did he jump to
Dad's virtual assistant?

The only active connection
is you, your cell phone.

Yeah. Oh, so he used
Byron's virtual assistant,

scanned for nearby cell phones,
found mine, hacked me.

It's possible.

BEN: Can you reverse-hack?

Oh, yeah.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

- [DOOR OPENS]
- BEN: Hi.

Thanks. I would've come to you.

No, my sister works better
when she works alone anyway.

Okay, I have an issue that came up.

I don't want to involve
David in this because

it's a workplace matter and
he'll just want to defend me.

Oh, so instead,
you want me to defend you?

Um...

- Could you take a listen?
- Yeah.

LELAND: [OVER RECORDING]
Ah, Kristen.

Can't stay away from me, can you?
What do you want?

KRISTEN:
Why are you doing this to Adam?

[STATIC]

- What happened?
- I don't know.

My voice comes through,
the other person doesn't.

[STATIC]

KRISTEN: Susceptible to what?

[STATIC]

I want my therapist's notes back,

- the ones you stole.
- Hmm.

Sounds like the other
person used a jammer.

Can you dig it out?

Yeah. Send it to me.

- I'll see what I can do.
- Great.

Thank you.

DAVID: Sebastian Lewin,
did he service your Wi-Fi?

I think so. I don't remember his name.

- Did Byron fire him?
- Why?

- Could he have a grudge?
- Well, Byron decided to withhold pay

so he can be certain
that the work was good.

That part didn't go over well.

So, what'd you find out?

There's an I.T. specialist
that works in the office

- by the name of Sebastian Lewin.
- Ah, did he work on his virtual assistant?

Possibly. We're not sure.
What about the hack on your end?

So we are disabling
all the Bluetooth devices,

and the hacker's only access point
will be my sister's cell phone,

and then she is gonna divert the hack
to the NSA.

The NSA? Why?

To get him in trouble.

- Kristen, do you have a minute?
- Yeah.

So that recording you gave me,

I can't take out the other voice.

- Damn.
- I know.

Look, there is another option.

You have his voice
from the first thing he said, right?

So I just sample it and deepfake it.

- What does that mean?
- Deepfake.

You tell me what you remember
of his side of the conversation,

and I duplicate it.

You duplicate...
You can... You can do that?

Yeah, I can, yeah.

Look, if you don't want to,
it's totally fine.

No, no, I...

You can just create a conversation?

No, I wouldn't be creating it,
I would be recreating it.

Look, it's a conversation
that you had and you lost,

and now you just want it back.

If the ethics of this throw you...

No, no, I... I want it. I just...

Yes, please do it.

Sebastian Lewin.

Yeah. What's the problem?

That depends.

I was just teaching him a lesson.

Yeah? By hacking his virtual assistant?

Yeah. He didn't pay for my work,
so I used his cell phone

to slingshot my voice onto his machine.

- You convinced him to pledge his soul?
- Yeah.

And he believed me. [CHUCKLES]
What a moron.

So, uh, how'd you hack
my virtual assistant at home?

What are you talking about?

Your voice... it was
on my dad's machine.

No.

[CHUCKLES] Yes, it was. I heard it.

No, I stopped a few days ago.

[JOE SPEAKING URDU]

- I don't believe you.
- Yes, you do.

Iblis has your baby.

[SPEAKING URDU]♪

[BABY CRYING]

What is that about?

Karima.

What is that about a baby?

Karima!

[BABY CONTINUES CRYING]

Mr. Duke, I am so sorry.

This is a lemon poppy seed,
and I'm not sure how that happened...

No, no, no, leave it. I'm fine.

- But it's lemon poppy seed.
- Yes.

I'm expanding my horizons. Leave it.

You know, this experience has...

Changed me? Oh, God, I hope not.

- Whoops.

Used the Lord's name in vain.

Hm.

Do you want me to start rolling calls?

Please.

Sure.

No, he's been good.
Very good, actually.

I'm glad, but call the monsignor
if you have any more issues.

I will. Yes.
Oh, and can you tell your partner

that I have five tickets
for her for the new play?

Thank you all.
It's been a breath of fresh air here.

He hasn't fired anyone.

He's even talked about hiring
some of the other assistants back.

Yes. I don't know what you did,

but it's a whole new world around here.

[CHUCKLES]

Ah, Dr. Townsend.

Would you return to the stand, please?

Of course, Your Honor.

JUDGE: A reminder, Doctor,
you are still under oath.

May I, Your Honor?

LELAND: [OVER RECORDING]
Ah, Kristen.

Can't stay away from me, can you?
What do you want to say?

KRISTEN:
Why are you doing this to Adam?

What good could it possibly do you?

LELAND: Adam is a lightweight
of clay yet to find its form.

Real prison will help mold him
into a man. It'll harden him.

Do you recognize those words?

That is your voice, Doctor, isn't it?

Again, Your Honor, objection.
This is a secret recording.

Yes, and we are in a one-party state,

and we are using it to rebut
an expert witness, Your Honor.

Yes, Mr. Cormier,
this is merely a pre-trial hearing.

JACOBS: Dr. Townsend,
is this your voice?

It is not.

Really?
Well, what about this?

KRISTEN: Why don't you
just get back on the stand

and tell the truth?

LELAND: What are you trying to do,
play on my better nature, Kristen?

Seriously.
Is that really your plan?

KRISTEN: Look, he's just a kid.

LELAND: His second prison rape,
and he won't be anymore.

So, Mr. Townsend,
what do you mean by that?

That's Dr. Townsend.

Thank you, Kristen.

Still a long way to go.

At least we have a fighting chance now.

Yes.

Thank you so much.

A deepfake... how very modern.
Those are my tools.

What did Shakespeare say?

"To do a great right,
do a little wrong."

Technology's a bitch.

You know the next line?

"And curb this cruel devil of his will."

There are forces in play,
