The Messengers

In the beginning, a star fell from Heaven

and changed us.

Made us angels and gave us a new destiny:

to stop the Apocalypse

and the Devil himself.

We must pass God's test

and prove humanity is still worth saving.

For we are the Messengers.

Previously on The Messengers...

Your daughter's been touched with a gift of her own.

Together again, just like my drawing.

Is this all of us? Who's that?

That's my friend Michael.

He likes soccer.

You promised me if I listened to your stories,

I'd get my son back. Now where is Michael?

What the hell is this?

St. Monica.

The patron saint of mothers.

I saw these two boys in my vision.

I've seen them twice today, too.

It's definitely a sign.

These brothers must be connected to the next Horseman.

How is Rose any different from the rest of us?

Because Rose

is the Horseman of Death.

Rest in peace, Joshua.

We can't save him, he's dead.

- He doesn't have to be. - What do you mean?

What if I told you I can bring him back from the dead?

That if you give me what I want,

I'll resurrect your friend?

All right, dear Messengers,

take a moment and ask yourselves:

What would Joshua do?

He would do anything to save one of us.

Except for make a deal with the Devil.

But Eliza said we can't defeat the Horsemen

unless all seven Messengers are truly united.

We can't defeat anyone without Joshua.

No, you can't.

You need a man of vision,

which means you need to share his latest vision with me,

or...

I will leave him for dead.

And you can all go back to the bar and cry in your beer.

If you want to know what his visions are,

then you need him alive just as much as we do.

Do I?

I'll give you till the count of ten.

- One... - It's a mistake. Don't listen to him.

- Two... - What choice do we have?

- Three... - How do we know this isn't just a lie?

- Four... - We don't.

- Five... - We want the same thing.

- Yeah, but for different reasons. - Six... Seven...

- Guys, we don't have a choice. - Eight...

We're just gonna give the Devil what he wants?

Nine...

Joshua will be damned if we do, but we'll all be damned if we don't.

Ten... now tell me what I want to hear

and don't lie to me,

or there will be hell to pay.

- Plowman Family Farms. - Damn it, Vera!

That's what Joshua saw in his last vision.

The logo with a photo of the two brothers, Mark and Vincent...

They own the company. The headquarters is in California.

That's what we know.

Farming and Famine.

Sounds like a perfect match.

Okay, you got what you wanted. Now bring Joshua back.

Don't rush me, boy.

Joshua.

What have you done?

So the Devil really brought me back to life?

Yeah.

And Rose really killed you?

She's the Horseman of Death.

Look, you didn't tell her anything about your visions, right?

Not about Plowman Farms or...

No.

I lied.

No one knows about the real vision but us.

And the Devil.

But at least we've got you back.

But... h-how do we know what our next move is?

I know what to do.

And as long as I'm alive...

I will not let us fail.

I did a little research.

The Plowmans are holding a public press conference

the day after tomorrow and we gotta get there.

So we're gonna train hop all the way to California?

Tickets, please.

Just messing with you.

You're like a Michael Jackson video, you know that?

So we're not sitting together?

You're lucky you got seats at all.

It's not easy hustling tickets for wanted fugitives.

All aboard.

I have no doubt once you have a full grasp of Operation Genesis,

you'll see that your hacking skills

will come in very handy.

You're sure the Devil won't find out about this?

How would he?

He seems to have his ways.

Let's face it:

Horsemen have worked with him for six generations.

He's always been able to talk them out of the Apocalypse.

Not this time.

He just wants to hold onto his playground.

We have a purpose.

We stop in Albuquerque next, then on to California.

Should put us right in time for the event tomorrow at Plowman headquarters.

And get this:

These brothers, Mark and Vincent,

they're not just farmers.

They're big players in the genetically modified seed industry.

Supposed to announce some new technology that's been kept under wraps.

I wonder if that has anything to do with breaking the next Horseman's seal.

Maybe... but let me ask you this:

What was it like?

What was what like?

To be dead.

In my culture, we believe in reincarnation.

Just not the way you did it.

So I'm curious.

Do you remember anything?

I saw a tunnel of light.

You know, the one everyone always talks about?

And I was headed right toward Heaven.

And then, suddenly, I felt an ice-cold hand

on the back of my neck,

yanking me back.

And it still feels like the Devil's got me tight in his grip.

I know why y'all brought me back.

But what if I go to Hell for it?

Pick a card.

Come on...

this is the first card trick my father ever taught me.

Learned it when I was, like, six.

It's called "Dead Man's Hand."

Just pick one, all right?

And memorize it and put it back.

And your card is...

not here.

You don't see it, do you?

Mm-mm.

That's weird.

Check your pocket.

Come on...

Your card?

It's still a good trick, though.

Wait, that never...

that never happens.

- It's okay. - No, it's not.

I know this trick like the back of my hand.

What the hell is wrong with me? I, uh...

It's getting worse.

What is?

Um, I've been forgetting things.

Like, things that I've known all my life.

It just... it started not too long ago.

After you got your gift?

You just shape-shifted at the train station, right?

Yeah. So?

Maybe the memory problems

are the cost of your gift.

You had a vision. What was it?

There's a storm coming.

I'm telling you, Amy has some kind of gift.

See? Rose isn't in this.

Somehow Amy knew she wasn't a Messenger.

You just said she also drew the Devil at the Last Supper.

I mean, what are you feeding this kid?

And this...

Michael's soccer uniform...

It's the same one I saw in the video the Devil showed me.

And the "M"...

it could be for Michael.

Did you ever show the video to Amy?

No.

She says it's her imaginary friend.

I mean, somehow she has to be connected to all of this, right?

Are you sure she's not a Messenger?

I mean, if she is, we haven't seen her wings.

Well, the Bible's full of characters.

Maybe Amy's got a different role to play.

How are you doing?

Honestly, not great.

I gotta get Amy away from all this.

You know? Rose, the Devil, the things that she's seen...

And now she's drawing pictures that seem to predict the future.

I mean, I'm really worried about her.

Sucks to be a parent, huh?

Sometimes.

You ever thought about being one?

I am.

What?

What do you mean?
