Preacher

No, no, no. You don't understand.

What is inside of you isn't god.

It isn't god?

No.

What is it then?

It's a mistake.

What does that mean?

None of your business.

Just give it back.

Back into the coffee can?

That's right. The domicile.

Take care, preacher! See you Sunday!

Oye. Oye.

You listening?

I'm trying to figure out what's going on here.

We told you what's going on.

No, you have not.

Not much, anyway.

What is it?

If it isn't god, tell me what it is.

Like we said, it's none of your business.

I could make you tell me.

No. Don't.

You mustn't use it. You understand?

Never, under any circumstances...

Tell me what it is.

It's called Genesis.

"Genesis"?

What is that?

Deblanc...

It began with heaven and hell.

Two armies fighting, two sides hating

for as long as we can remember.

Heaven and hell?

That's right.

The endless war.

But one day,

thought to be impossible but, somehow,

a soldier from one side

and one from the other became drawn to each other.

An angel and a demon fell in love?

Traitors. Strictly forbidden.

But they didn't care.

Snuck off, met in secret and conjoined.

Disgusting traitors.

And then, after a time, Genesis.

A thing never meant to be...

You know...

Came to be.

So you're saying this Genesis is some sort of...

Angel demon baby?

If by "baby" you mean the most powerful entity ever known,

the singular force that could shift the balance of power

and threaten all of creation, then, yeah, it's a baby.

Now do you understand why we need it back?

Okay, so...

Going for her phone.

We'll be right back.

Hey! Miss? Are you...

Hey! Hey!

You all right, ma'am?

Let go.

See her?

Not yet. Okay.

Body in the car.

Wait. Wait. What's going on here?

Get her phone.

Guys!

Guys!

What the hell just happened?

Time to go. Come on. Go where?

We... you just killed her!

No, we didn't.

Think I left my car keys inside.

What?

Yes, you did! There's a dead woman right there!

Do you have your car keys?

What the hell was that?

That was one of the seraphim.

Angels of the first order.

Angels?

Seriously? What does it want?

What all seraphim want, order and control. Peace.

How did it come back like that?

It's called "reinvigoration".

Lubbock's the nearest phone for her.

So we have two, maybe three hours.

Lubbock? There's phones a lot closer than lubbock.

Not like this. This one's a direct line.

Direct line to what?

Wait...

You're saying if i picked up that phone in my hand right now,

I could call heaven?

No. You couldn't. Why not?

You need angel hands.

Goddamn.

Angels.

Someone left their keys.

Just leave 'em there.

But if you're an angel and she's an angel...

There are rules for coming down here to earth.

We don't have permission.

We don't have much time before she calls in reinforcements.

Right now they're just looking for us,

but if they find Genesis too...

I'll just use it.

What? I have the power.

It worked on you, right?

It'll work on... Genesis isn't a power.

It's a scandal, an embarrassment to both sides.

An agreement was made...

What is that?

That's just annville.

An agreement was made at the highest levels.

Genesis must remain a secret.

If the other angels and demons find out about it,

they'll want it for themselves.

It's not for you or anyone else to have or use.

Do you understand?

It's our first time.

We didn't know what we'd need.

How does it work?

How do you get Genesis to come out?

I sing to it. Or...

I'll sing to it. It'll come.

Probably just the towels.

It's not.

Here's a phone.

See.

Told them you didn't got to go to lubbock.

Go ahead.

Make your call.

Now dialing only takes a second.

But you gonna have to look away.

Don't!

Are you dying?

No.

What the hell?

If we don't die we can't come back.

Watch out. She'll be back.

How do you that?

Just happens.

What's it feel like?

Doesn't feel like anything.

We just come back.

Sometimes, immediately in the exact same place,

other times...

I think she's...

My tenders...

Remember, don't kill.

Restrain it.

Restrain it?

How do we...

Restrain it!

Is she alive?

Damn.

Shite!

Restrain it.

What do you think I'm trying to do?

We gotta work together, otherwise we don't stand a...

I said stab her gently.

Fiore, duck!

Duck!

Oh...

She's got an ax.

Preacher, kill me.

No!

Use the bag.

Tie her legs!

Spread the sheet. Spread the sheet.

I got her legs! That's good!

You boys threw a party and didn't invite me?

Well, you're welcome. You know...

Clones? Bloody clones.

You know what this reminds me of?

Shut up, Cassidy.

Fair enough.

Ah...

Jesus! What'd you do?

I disarticulated her.

Oh...

We need Genesis back now.

Genesis? What, like the bloody band?

It's a terrible name.

Back into hiding?

Correct.

You're what, Genesis' jailers?

No, no.

We're its custodians.

We take care of it.

You let it get away.

It escaped.

How?

We don't know.

Why me?

Why did it choose me?

We don't know that either.

We're just custodians.

Well, I'm sorry.

I'm keeping it.
