[Pauline] Hey, Mom. Uhm listen,

I'll stay with Tony for a couple days.

Miss Fischer's on my case

about the scholarship.

And our place is too noisy,

with the move and everything.

Love you.

Hey, Tony. Uhm

Sorry for storming out like that.

But I think it's best if I just

stay away from everyone for now

before my freaking superpowers

get anyone else k*lled.

Oh, and uhm could you tell Miss Fischer

that I'm sick?

Make up something so bad

I need to stay home,

but not so bad

that I'd die from it. [chuckles]

Thanks.

[phone vibrates and chimes]

[Tony] Hey, I-- get that you're fed up

with all this demon and devil stuff

right now.

And uh with me.

But I-- need to tell you

a couple things.

Please get back to me.

I don't want you

to have to go through this alone.

[Jason] And there he goes!

[young Pauline] Bye.

[Jason] Do you have it?

[Carla] Okay, lemme try again.

[Jason making a swoosh sound]

[young Pauline and Carla giggle]

[Jason] That looks great!

Two, three.

[Jason] Okay.

- We did it!

[young Pauline] Yeah!

[Jason] Sweetie, that was great.

Can you do me a favor?

Say hi to the camera real quick.

[Carla] Hi!

[Jason] Throw the ball, and aim for Mom!

[Carla laughs] Naw.

[young Pauline] I got you, Mommy!

[Carla] Yes, you did! [laughs]

[Pauline] Hello?

[Pauline sighs]

[gasps]

[woman] Oh, sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

For some reason

I always seem to creep people out.

Anyway. [laughs] Hello.

I'm Malorie. Uhm

I live just around the corner.

I noticed the light, so I wanted

to check if everything's all right.

It's been a while

since someone was last here.

Sorry, I have no idea who you are.

He always used to talk about you

all the time.

Jason was very proud of you.

Do you still have the AR-70?

Your telescope?

1I gave it to him

when I upgraded to the AR-127L.

You really don't remember me?

Anyway sorry again

for startling you.

What's the AR-127L like?

[sinister sound]

So you used to be friends with my dad?

Yes. I mean, not just friends.

We were coworkers as well.

Back when he worked as a janitor?

Well, [sucks teeth]

Jason had many interests.

[sniffles] Uhm

Sorry. It's very rude of me

to still be wearing these dirty things.

Are you still into astronomy, by the way?

Because if you are, we

could go over to my place

and I'll show you the AR-127L.

- Maybe later?

- Well, okay. [chuckles]

[electricity buzzing]

[sinister growling and whispering]

[clock ticking loudly]

Oh, I'm sorry

I hope I'm not interrupting something.

- I was just doing some Googling.

- Funny.

I mean, that you've got internet access.

I can't even get a signal out here.

Are you hungry? I made ravioli.

- Yeah, thanks.

- Okay.

Uhm Let me just clear the table first.

Do you ever get scared,

all alone out here?

No.

[sinister growling and whispering]

I find it quite scary sometimes.

But maybe I'm just a scaredy cat.

[Malorie] Stay right there!

[Pauline grunts]

Lilith will be so grateful

when I hand you over.

That thing will be better off with us

anyway

[gory cracking]

[Malorie scoffs]

I mean, you as its mother.

or even erase their memories.

For further information, please contact

Where's Remmi?

At the vet's. His cat has a bladder stone.

And Pauline?

She's not feeling well. She's at home.

- Anything else?

- Hm

How much for these?

3.50 euros.

2.50 euros?

[door opens]

Hey. Do you know where Pauline is?

She's sick.

That will be five euros.

Okay, so?

Okay.

Okay, we had a rough start,

I can admit that.

- [Tony] Mhm.

- But I'm actually a pretty nice guy.

You're literally the son of the devil.

I didn't like you when you were the guy

who knocked up my best friend, alright?

- But Pauline likes me.

- [sighs]

I think.

- Doesn't she?

- [chuckles]

Has she said anything?

Why do you care so much about it anyway?

I mean, now that we know

that we can't even get rid of that thing.

[sighs]

'Cause there's a chance

I didn't tell her everything

she, um, might need to know.

Under her house, there's Whatever.

That's why I've been trying

to get a hold of her all day.

I've known Pauline forever, okay?

If she doesn't answer,

there's a good reason.

Or maybe she's not answering because

she's being sliced open by demons

who want to get that thing out of her.

All because you didn't tell me

where she was.

[gulps]

Sorry, that was uhm

a little exaggerated.

I just want you to understand the gravity

of the situation, okay?

Please.

[phone beeps]

Hey, Pauli. [sighs]

Lukas just showed up at the store.

He's wound up, like super sweaty,

saying he really needs to talk to you.

He bought candy for a little kid.

Since I promised I wouldn't tell him

where you are,

I just wanted to know what I'm supposed

to do. That'd be very kind. Thanks. Bye.

[phone beeps]

Voicemail. Her phone must be dead.

- Nothing I can do.

- [sighs]

Yeah, nothing you can do,

you're probably right.

[Lukas] If there's anything I can do to

get you to trust me, I'd love to do that.

[Lukas sighs]

I don't know, like

if you have any questions about

uhm [in a silly voice] this whole

demon thing and all this crazy sh*t.

Okay.

But be warned.

I'm good at telling when somebody's lying.

Okay. I'm ready.

[clicks his tongue]

Okay, so If creatures like you exist,

is there also something up there?

Yeah, there's something.

That means the Catholic Church, the Pope--

Oh, uhm No, no, no.

They're on my team.

And Jesus?

He didn't really walk on water, did he?

- What do you think?

- Well, I guess

[sinister swooshing sound]

[in an echoing voice]

She's at her dad's cabin.

Okay. And where is it?

Did you hear my thoughts just now?

You didn't want to talk to me.

And it's urgent.

That's invasive.

Did you erase anything?

- [Lukas] No. I was just reading.

- Just?

- What else did you read?

- Nothing.

What else did you read in my mind?

- Take me to this cabin now or--

- Or what?

[sighs]

- Was my dad a demon?

- Don't let him touch your hand.

If hear thoughts if he touches you.

He just did it to me.

Uh I-- Your dad, I don't know.

We don't reproduce like humans.

It's not really possible like

biologically speaking.

I guess that would make

a little more sense, though. I mean

I mean, the son of the devil

and the daughter of a

- What does he do?

- He's dead.

Uh I

Sorry. I'm really sorry.

- And what's under my house?

- That's why I'm here, to-- to talk to you.

- Ask Tony, that's the reason. Tell her.

[Tony] Don't know what he's talking about.

[Lukas] Come on!

[Pauline] Whatever.

First of all, I have to find out

if my dad was a f*cking demon.

And I need your help.

And yours.

'Cause you're good at telling

if someone's lying. Come on.

[Tony] You didn't think-- Hey.

There's a gateway to hell under your house

is something you should have mentioned

earlier.

Wait, are all demons liars?

Well, it makes sense.

[Lukas] No. I didn't want to upset Pauline

right before the procedure, that's all.

But it didn't go to plan anyway.

[Tony] You can't decide

what she can and can't know.

- I mean, her dad--

[Lukas] I didn't know about her dad. And--

And we don't really know for sure

if he was one of us.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- Oh.

[Tony] "Oh" what?

Oh.

Do you guys have some sort of list

of all the demons somewhere?

- What? Like an HR file?

- Mm-hmm.

No, Lilith is the only one

who knows them all.

[sighs]

[Pauline] Okay, let's find Lilith.

[Tony] You wanna find the devil?

[Lukas] Pauline, you can't do that.

It's way too dangerous.

Hey, wait. I'll come up with something,

but you can't just show up there.

You have no idea who you're dealing with.

[Pauline] She's the only one who knows

if my dad was a demon, so I'll ask her.

- Or you have a better idea?

- Uhm I-- I do.

- He's lying.

- Well, but that doesn't matter right now.

We have to get rid of this thing,

that's what's important.

This whole thing about your dad

has no impact on this.

[Tony] Dude, you're so insensitive.

Wow.

Okay. There is someone else

who might know.

He might know

how to get this thing out of you.

And he might know who your dad was.

- Yeah. But?

- If I tell him what's going on, then

[sighs] He's a pretty loyal demon.

I don't know if I can trust him,

he might go to Lilith right away.

And if she finds out

that I'm trying to betray her, then

She'll tear me from this body or

sh*t, I don't know!

[Tony sighs]

[sinister music playing]

Okay. Okay.

[Pauline] All right, then.

[Lukas] Here. In case I don't come back.

Something to help you stay safe.

[water bubbling]

Ever since I fell pregnant,

he's been weirdly fixated on me.

[sighs] I don't know

what to think anymore.

A janitor Yeah, right.

I talked to Mike earlier.

And we're going through a bit

of a rough patch but whatever, you have

definitely got bigger problems.

And that's why I'm staying over tonight.

I mean, if that's cool.

Of course, that's cool.

How are there so many files,

but so little actual information?

Well, I've been wondering if we should

go down there and take a look around,

see what Jason-- Well

y'know, we don't have to.

Only if you want to. Uhm

Actually, that's a stupid idea.

[mystical vocals playing]

[music fades out]

Yeah-- So, what do you think?

That is a-- uhm a shitty situation.

- Yeah, it's a f*cked up situation!

[Tammo] Mm-hmm.

I really didn't know if I could trust you.

[Swallows noisily]

It's good to have someone by my side.

- You are on my side, right?

- Of course. [stammers] Yeah.

I mean, obviously, sir. Why wouldn't I be?

You're my direct superior.

I'm not your superior,

for f*ck's sake, I just--

- I want to know if I can trust you.

[Tammo squeaks]

Lilith can't find out about

Pauline under any circumstance.

I even k*lled one of our guys

so she wouldn't find out.

Okay. Uhm

[Tammo] Uhm [clears his throat]

Lukas, so-- Hmm

You [Sighs and chuckles nervously]

I have a confession to make.

What is it? What's the matter?

Uh-- [stammers]

[Clears his throat and breathes nervously]

Lilith knows about it.

But it's not what you think.

- I didn't want her to--

[Lukas] What?

She asked me what you told me

that day. And--

I had to tell her.

She had someone follow you.

She knows. I'm sorry.

[desperately] I'm sorry.

[frantic gurgling]

You said it was

a purely hypothetical question,

because you watched The Exorcist.

[Tammo] Yes, because I didn't know

if I could trust you!

[splashing and gurgling]

[Tammo] You can trust me!

You can trust me. I'm on your side.

You have to listen to me.

Listen, listen. Please, listen. [sighs]

I'm on your side, okay? I am

on your side. [breathes deeply]

Why do you think

I always want to try to get

everyone to stick to the rules? [pants]

Because I don't want my life

to change, okay?

I mean, look at my life, man.

You've seen my garage,

I have seven vintage cars,

I go to Tango class twice a week.

I've just had the vicarage renovated.

With a beautiful spa area,

two saunas, relaxation room,

a cooling pool and a steam bath.

I love my life.

I want everything to remain the way it is.

But now that Lilith knows,

she'll try to get that thing

under her control right away.

And if she succeeds, it's all over. Okay?

That's it. No more humanity.

No more good red wine.

And no more truffle pasta.

- Then we're all screwed.

[Lukas] f*ck!

What do we do now?

[Tammo pants]

There might be another way.

There's one person who wants to stop

Lilith and keep this thing from existing

even more than we do.

But things could get very, very ugly.

[in an echoing voice] Hey, Dad!

[breathing shakily]

Are you okay?

[melancholic music playing]

You've never been down there again, right?

I've always thought I knew my dad.

[Pauline sniffs]

Everything I like, everything I am, I--

owe to him. Everything.

And now it’s like I don’t even know him,

you know?

[Carla whispers] Rocket? Sorry.

Mom?

Miss Fischer called and said you're sick

with hand, foot and mouth disease?

[Pauline] Hmm

The next time you want me to lie for you,

just let me know in advance.

- Hey, is something wrong?

- No. I'm fine.

You didn't set the school on fire, right?

Hm She said you should come

to her office tomorrow at 10:00.

She says she's finally come to a decision

about the scholarship.

And she really wants to talk to you

about it in person. [squeals]

Wow, she is super uptight, huh?

Three minutes on the phone with her

was enough to give me a migraine.

I got a commission for a portrait,

it's a super quick turnaround.

It's this woman. She's kinda weird,

but the pay is freaking great.

And tomorrow Remmi's gonna bring me

the keys to the new apartment.

I hope your life is as exciting

as mine is right now.

It's not.

[chuckles] HmYou'll get there.

Sleep tight for now.

Hey, Mom?

Dad was a good guy, right?

What kinda question is that?

The best.

[birds chirping]

[vlogger] There are five signs

to spot witches in your life.

One. Some witches have witch marks

on their bodies.

If you would like to look out for them,

the most common places

for witch marks are the hands,

or the neck and chest area.

I just wanted

to post another TikTok video.

Today's video is specifically

about witches and black magic.

Witches use manipulation

to get exactly what they want,

[multiple videos play simultaneously]

of this situation

by fighting the curse.

If you'd like some advice, send me a video

of your encounters with witches.

Witches will try to control you.

Witches will try to, well

- Are you all right?

- Why do you ask?

[phone beeps]

Hey, don't be upset.

Some things are just beyond our control.

[sighs]

You haven't heard yet, have you?

And you were so sure

you'd be the one to get the scholarship.

So?

What will you do now?

Will you cast another spell on me?

Or on Miss Fischer?

Do it, come on. Do it!

[metal clanking rapidly]

[childhood piano song playing softly]

[distorted] Show me your true face.

[all sounds stop]

- Show me your witch mark!

- Hey, Britta.

[Britta whimpers]

[Britta] Help!

[Ms. Fisher] What's all this noise?

[Britta] Ah!

What's going on here?

Our school is proud to be open

to all kinds of students,

and accepting of all walks of life

and all

wherever they come from.

But violence is something

we can't accept.

I'm so glad you happened to come out

of your office at that exact moment.

Who knows what might have happened?

Sorry, what?

Pauline wanted me to step back

and give up the scholarship.

And when I refused, she attacked me.

[scoffs]

Bullshit!

Well, in that case, you've achieved

the opposite of what you intended.

- What are you saying?

- I had already uhm--

filled in your name on the form.

Now I'll have to print another copy.

It's a great honor

to be awarded this scholarship.

I did my best to try

and help you get this.

Other people like

you would've been grateful.

- Other people like me?

- Well, you know what I mean, Pauline.

[otherworldly growling]

[rumble crescendo]

[gasps]

[otherworldly whispers]

[heart beating]

This is crazy.

And how does it work again?

Can I just, like, tell you what to do?

Okay. I want you to give me

the scholarship right now.

Call up the folks in the UK and tell them.

And my name is Pauline Alceste,

not Alchesté.

Good. How do I get out of here?

Mhm

[stammers] W- What's happening right now?

Pauline Alceste

will receive the scholarship.

Congratulations.

[phone beeps]

[Pauline groans]

No!

[Pauline] Uh!

[glass shattering]

[exhales]

Pauline Alceste gets the scholarship.

[sentimental jazz song playing]

[sighs]

This is like that moment

when Michael Corleone,

comes back from the bathroom

to sh**t Sollozzo and McCluskey, isn't it?

Hm?

Uh In The Godfather.

The Godfather, man.

The Godfather, the best movie of all time.

- The Godfather--

- I guess I've never seen it. No.

Okay, so [clears his throat]

Michael Corleone is the son

of a big Mafia family,

and they want him

to take over the business.

But he doesn't want to.

He's an honest guy,

a w*r hero, so on and so forth.

- Suddenly, one day--

- Could you tell me what you're getting at?

As soon as you go in there,

there's no turning back.

It will mean w*r.

- I know.

- Lukas?

Are you doing this for Pauline

or for yourself?

[sentimental jazz song playing]

[Lukas] Are you coming?

[Tammo] Uh-- You-- Crazy idea: maybe--

I-- maybe I can keep watch from the car?

- It might take a while.

- No problem. [sighs]

[sentimental jazz song playing]

[Tony] Yeah, okay,

Britta kinda deserved it.

But that was more of an evil Lukas move.

Now you have to wear

a ridiculous leather jacket

- and act like Damon from Vampire Diaries.

- [snorts]

- Yeah.

- I just used my powers to my advantage.

We know I deserve this scholarship

more than Britta.

Yes, but Britta doesn't have superpowers.

What, and that makes me the bad guy?

[Tony sighs]

I'll make us a cup of tea.

Something without caffeine.

I don't want you

to end up using your powers on me.

And it's awesome that we're hanging out

just the two of us.

By the way, I was thinking of telling Mike

about the whole story, you know.

Not because he really needs to know,

but because I feel like I'm lying

to him all the time. And that sucks.

And because he tells me everything,

like, everything,

It's exhausting at times.

But it's just like, feels weird.

[voice fades] Remember the guy

I used to date who didn't tell me

that he had been following me

on Instagram for a year.

At first I thought that was cute,

but it's super creepy and stalkery.

Anyway, Mike feels bad even when he--

when he doesn't tell me

that he, I don't know, drank coffee

from a non-reusable cup.

You know, he always gets so cute

and worried. And I mean, I just

don't wanna deceive him all the time,

constantly making up sh*t

and just not telling him the truth.

You know what I mean?

Pauli?

[door shuts]

[drumming rhythmic music playing]

Pauline? Pauli.

This can't keep happening.

I can't always be there

when you're in trouble.

[Lukas] Hey.

- Uhm W- Where's Pauline?

- Out.

[drumming rhythmic music playing]

Hey. What are you guys up to exactly?

f*ck.

[Tony] You know what? f*ck you all!

I'll find out what's going on myself!

[Tammo] I really don't feel good

about this at all.

I mean, we can't just barge in there

and take Pauline with us.

- If Lilith finds out what you're--

[Lukas] What we're planning, Tammo?

And let me deal with my mother.

I got this. I think.

Hey, what do you say I

just stand behind you

and don't say anything and look scary.

Oh-- Oh, okay. No, stupid idea. Hm

[Lilith] How good of you to come.

Pauline and I just had

a nice, little chat.

It's a pity you didn't introduce me

to her earlier.

[chuckles]

I think we'd better go now, Pauline.

She promised she'd get this thing out.

And that she'd leave me

and my mom alone. That's all I want.

And in return,

I gave her that weird knife back.

Santé.

Pauline had so many questions, but sadly,

you didn't give her any answers.

Could we talk about it later?

[Lilith] Lukas feels uncomfortable

when he doesn't know something.

I'm often surprised

at how little he actually knows.

About your father, for example.

He should've known that by now.

I mean, Jason was one

of our most important demons. Hmm.

- Wasn't he, Lukas?

- Your dad was not a demon.

How come you're suddenly so sure?

- Hmm?

- Well, I

[Tammo clears his throat and mumbles]

Can we talk about it somewhere else?

Can we please get out of here?

Sit down!

[low menacing rumble]

[Tammo mumbles and clears his throat]

[Lilith]

Please, make yourself comfortable.

You heard what Pauline wants.

Besides,

this dangerous being in her belly,

shouldn't let it loose on mankind, hm?

The world would plunge into chaos.

All of Europe at w*r,

then come the genocides,

followed by the sad dregs of mankind

wallowing in the dirt,

bashing each other heads in.

- We can't allow that to happen.

- Don't you realize that she's lying?

Chaos is all she's ever wanted!

She doesn't give a sh*t about you,

she never gives a sh*t about other people.

It's always about what you want.

And are you sure this is still

about Pauline?

Or is that just

your inferiority complex talking?

[metallic swooshing sound]

Remember whose side you're on.

[chuckles malevolently]

[Lukas in a strangled voice]

Pauline, please get out of here.

[Lukas groans]

[Pauline] Lilith!

Let him go.

[otherworldly whispers]

You're k*lling him! Stop!

[Pauline groans]

[Pauline pants]

[Lilith] Is he all right?

[sinister whispers]

Can you hear it?

[in the Antichrist voice] Don't touch me!
