How am I doing?

Fine. It's only a first session.

The most difficult possession

is diabolical subjugation.

You sold your soul willingly to Satan.

That is not undone simply.

So we have to do this again?

- And again.
- How many times?

As long as it takes.

- When is our next session?
- In a month.

In the meantime, I'll assign
you a spiritual counselor:

someone who can check on you

and keep you from evil influences.

Think of it as a sponsor
in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Maybe that should be David,
because he knows me so well.

I think that's a good idea.

And then I'll assign you
a possession help group.

LELAND [FADING]: Oh, that sounds great.

- I'm finally seeing light at the...

We'll just tell you the best we can.

This is our son. Wyatt.

He's our only child.

Was our only child.

He went out to the grocery store
on September th at : .

And he never came back.

- We contacted the police...
- You talked to the police?

MICHELLE: We call every week.

DUKE: I think they've gotten sick of us.

They still insist that he's a runaway.

BEN: So he's never contacted you again?

We don't think so.

You don't think so?

Well, someone contacted us the next day.

Someone who sounded like our son.

What did he say?

He was screaming.

Uh, but there was too much interference.

We couldn't understand what he said.

He said, "Save me".

We couldn't understand any more.

And, um, he never called us again.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer,

we don't get involved in police cases.

Um, we do...

... assessments, um, for...

possible, um...

We do cases that have some
demonic or spiritual component.

- Uh...
- Yes.

Usually our colleague David
is here to fill you in on this.

Explain. Yeah.

Would you, um, would you
come with me, please?

Of course.

This was Wyatt's room.

He loved writing in here.

Doing his homework.
He was a good student.

Um, we would really love to help,

but we feel like this is more
a matter for the police.

DUKE: We called the Church
last week because

we were cleaning up in here.

MICHELLE: Duke thought
we had to move on.

We can't keep this as a museum forever.

So I started cleaning
up in here last week.

And, uh, I found this. Yeah.

A pentagram?

That's why we called you.

We took a picture, but the
police were uninterested.

Just so you know, our son
was never into the occult.

Oh, um, this is David, who
we spoke to on the phone.

We think this might have
something to do with people

who kidnapped him.

Maybe Satan worshippers...

Can I take a look at his computer?

We don't have his password.

We found some phrase
carved into his desk.

But it didn't work.

We've tried capitalizing it all,
leaving out all the dashes,

LYNN: Like there was this one crash

where just a small baby survived.

[CLAMORING]

- Hey, Mom.
- Hmm?

Can you survive a plane crash?

Isn't everybody just dead?

Um, I guess it depends
how bad the crash is.

Does it matter if you pray?

I don't think so.

What are you doing?

Um, I'm trying to figure
out what "El Game" is.

"El Game", like Spanish?

I don't know.

Is this about your work?
Are there, like,

Those are the floors you have to take.

I heard people die from that.

Wait, what is the Elevator Game?

It-It's a Japanese game. Look.

[TYPING]

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

How do you know all this?

It's part of our education,
Mom. We're growing up.

- No, you're not!
- [LAUGHTER]

WOMAN: Hi. Welcome to the instructions

to the Elevator Game.

If you're brave and
you want to chance it,

this is what you'll need.

A building with at least floors.

And an elevator that is empty.

- Get on the elevator.
- LILA: Is this your case, Mom?

So, what's the goal of this game?

- To end up in hell.
- What?

- Shh! Just watch the video.
- Instead, push the button

for the fourth floor. When you arrive,

again, don't get off, but
when the doors start to close,

put your arm out and stop them
from closing all the way.

I heard that's the most important part.

Push the button for the second floor.

Don't get off. Instead,

push the button for the th
floor, and at the same time,

hold in the emergency call button.

No, that's the most important part.

When you arrive at the th,

you'll see a strange woman get on.

Don't look at her. Don't meet her eyes.

If you meet her eyes, you'll
never be able to leave hell.

Now, with the other woman beside you,

push the button for the first floor.

An alarm will sound, and
you will next find yourself

in the nether region.

It will be dark, and in the distance

you'll see a red cross.

Get out. Look around.

Don't stay longer than minutes.

If you do, you will be haunted.

In fact, if you do any
part of this game wrong,

you will be haunted.

Okay. I'll just watch this later...

No, no, no! Mom, Mom. Come on.

Mom, you can't start
something and not finish it.

Many have asked: in
what way am I haunted?

There are many disagreements about this,

but most believe you will be
haunted by all the souls

of whoever d*ed in the building.

Okay, no, we need to try this now.

[CLAMORING]

Never look the woman
in white in the eye.

And never, ever

interrupt the game in the middle.

If you are so unfortunate to be haunted,

paint this somewhere in your room.

LEXIS: The woman in
white sounds really cool.

LILA: Bet there's a lot of
haunted people out there.

I bet she's k*lled so many people.

- Maybe we should get this.
- Yeah.

Can we just do it, like, anywhere?

This is Mom's job. Come on.

You know you want to try this. Come on.

- Maybe.
- I know it,

you know it, we all know it.

Okay, Ben, yeah.

I'll meet you there in . Great. Bye.

What are you guys doing? You look like

This is ten minutes later.

He's gone.

I know, that's why I said "whoa".

He was talking to me, not to you.

Okay, shh. What did the
police say about this?

We don't have a surveillance
camera on the top-roof floor.

They think he got off there
and then took the stairs down.

He's in the nether region,
waiting for us to save him.

We got to save him, Mom!

Here. These are the Joyful Mysteries.

Okay.

I have a question about
the Church for you,

my spiritual counselor.

Why is the Church so bad to
its African American members?

Last I looked... this morning...

there are only Black
priests in the United States.

That means you're rather an oddity.

How does that make you feel?

Exceptional.

Hmm. Have you ever heard
of Father William Aitcheson?

- I have.
- Good.

I was just reading
about him this morning.

A priest in Arlington arrested
for burning crosses

in the yards of Blacks and
Jews for the Ku Klux Klan.

In .

Yeah, but just four years ago,

% of white Catholics voted for Tr*mp.

Only % of Hispanic Catholics did.

It's about abortion.

Maybe.

Next time you're in one
of your seminary classes,

look at all the white
students around you.

That's a lot of white.

My guess is they see
you as a diversity hire.

Look at this job that
you're doing... assessing.

There must be a dozen other priests

that want to be assessors,

but the Church only wanted a Black one.

It looks good.

Okay. Our time is up for today.

The thing I don't understand is,

how do you deal with the racism here?

I'll see you again in three days.

And leave that on.

He and Felicia were into it.

She was in love with him.

And then Wyatt was just gone.

He was playing the game,

to do the same thing.

So, she disappeared, too?

people d*ed here

They still haunt it.

Isn't there a story about the elevator?

MILA: Thank you for asking.
In , a -year-old girl

was taking her dog for a walk.

She got on the elevator, but her
dog ran out the closing doors.

She tried to stop the
elevator from going down,

but she got stuck in the doors.

She struggled to get out,

but at that moment,
the elevator dropped.

That's right. Cut her in half.

She lived for ten minutes,
and the legend is

she kept calling for her
dog, "Tiffany! Tiffany!"

Ever since then, residents
of the building hear her,

crawling down the halls,
pulling herself along.

And they called her the Teke-Teke Girl,

because that's the sound
she makes at night.

"Teke... teke... teke",

as she uses her nails

to drag herself along the halls.

You can take pictures now.

[TRAIN CLACKING]

And that is why they call
her the Teke-Teke Girl.

That's the sound that
her fingernails make

as she crawls along the hall.

That's some story.

Leland.

I just had to show my support
for my spiritual counselor.

[SNICKERS]

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Oh, that's Ben. He's
been trying to call me.

- Hello? Ben?
- BEN: Kristen, hey, it's me.

- Hello?
- Hello?

[BEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

- Kristen!
- Ben!

What?

That's weird. That's the
fifth time he's tried to call.

He called me three times, too.

He was supposed to meet me here.

What do you think is going on?

When is the last time you saw him?

Uh, last night. Discussing
the Elevator Game.

Kristen! Kristen!

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?!

- That is not good.
- _

So how long did it take you two?

Wyatt d*ed first, right?

Right.

He was probably down here
a month before Felicia

came through that door, hmm?

He thought he'd finally been saved
when the elevator arrived.

He yelled for her to keep the door open,

but she wasn't thinking fast enough.

And why would she? Because...

elevators come when you call them!

She held him.

For another month as she starved.

She probably even fought off the bugs.

And here I am, without anyone to hold.

And the swarm of bugs will get me, too.

ABBEY: I'm here with you.

Yeah, that's all I needed.

Ben, Ben, Ben.

I'm here to comfort you.

Oh, my God. What a nightmare.

[GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

[SPEAKING URDU]

[BEN YELLS]

[CONTINUES IN URDU]

How do you know that?

Because your grandma always
told you that as a child.

In Gharsana, remember?

Remember what it means?

"The dead are tortured in their graves

to the point that animals
can hear them".

It is a hadith.

Ugh, what a horrible
thing to tell a child.

She wanted me to stay observant.

[CHUCKLES] And how did that work out?

Come on, Ben, get comfortable.

Lie down next to me, peacefully.

And use your last ten
percent to write your will.

CAROLINE: Say it again.
I couldn't hear you.

FELICIA: Hello?

I said, press two, and
then the call button.

- Did you try pressing "two"?
- Mm-hmm.

And the call button.

Exactly like Ben to come back here

and try and figure it out.

So if it's not the second
floor, what is it?

[PHONE BUTTONS CLICKING]

ABBEY: That's so sweet.

"Karima, I love you".

And you know what's great?

It makes people feel
bad when you're dead.

They worry they didn't treat you
well enough when you were alive.

- So good job.
- Shh!

Oh, tell him how you
accepted Christ at the end.

That'll f*ck with his head.

Aw. "Kristen,

I'm going to miss you most of all".

That's good.

Maybe you can give them
something to remember you by.

Your corpse covered with bugs.

I'll take your picture when you're dead.

[PANTING]

[RECITING DUA IN ARABIC]

Oh, my God.

This is the height of
hypocrisy. Seriously?

You know why you're helpful?

Me?

Yeah.

I know what I'm fighting against.

- [CONTINUES IN ARABIC]
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Ben?

Keep the elevator open!

Oh, you got me, you found me.

[CRYING]

Ben.

You're okay now, buddy.
You're okay, Ben.

You're okay.

You're okay.

♪ ♪

- Mom?
- Mm-hmm.

The stuff you do, is
there really monsters?

Ah. Dear Lila...

of course, there are monsters.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- [SCREAMING]

Next time on "Evil"...

You'll be meeting some.

There are people who
do monstrous things.

They're still people underneath.

Oh. Come on, Kristen.

You know better.

See?

And what happens if the exorcist
needs an exorcism?

[DOORBELL JINGLES]

Plenty of monsters next time.

We have no power.

*** God.

Bitch.

I tried to warn you.

[DOORBELL CONTINUES JINGLING]

Oh my God.

Until then, sweet dreams.
