00:00Previously, on Surreal Estate.
00:12I'm afraid I broke my promise.
00:15You're fired.
00:16So I saw Megan the other day.
00:17She told me you two were on the outs.
00:19You didn't even say stay.
00:21You said goodbye.
00:23I love you, Megan.
00:25You make up stories about the things that Elvis told you.
00:29I'm going to give you more time.
00:30But remember, if you inspire scornful laughter,
00:34an eternity of agony awaits you.
00:43Luke.
00:46Luke.
00:47Come on, Luke.
00:49Wakey, wakey.
00:51I don't want to.
00:52He turned off the TV over an hour ago.
00:55He's asleep.
00:56Come on.
00:59First, come here.
01:01Come on, real close.
01:05Come here.
01:10No.
01:12Still can't do it.
01:14Do what?
01:15Jump into you.
01:16Never mind.
01:18Come on.
01:18It's time.
01:20I don't want to do this to my dad.
01:22Luke.
01:22He made your mom leave home.
01:25If he's out of the picture, she'll come back.
01:29Don't you want your mother to come back?
01:32Yeah.
01:33Then we have to do this.
01:35Let's go.
01:40Aren't we forgetting something?
01:41Hey, come on, slugger.
02:00Don't screw around, Luke.
02:03Big shot to the head, and then again.
02:06Don't stop until you see blood.
02:08Lots of blood.
02:13Come on.
02:16Better, better, better swing.
02:23Good job.
02:24Way to go, Luke.
02:26Are you okay?
02:26Come on.
02:28Let him be mad.
02:52Let him be mad.
02:55Let him be mad.
02:58Let him be mad.
03:06Let him be mad.
03:22Let him be mad.
03:25It's okay.
03:35He's gone now.
03:40We're going home.
03:55So I got a whole rundown on demonology from Phil, but I should have seen it coming.
04:08Don't be silly.
04:08How could you know?
04:10I should have known that he was...
04:12Your old childhood imaginary friend who rose from a lake to take vengeance?
04:16Come on, Roman, that's a bad horror movie.
04:19And yet?
04:21Phil said that Tyler had some kind of encounter with a certain type of demon.
04:25In original Hebrew, he was called Sidim Sadak, or the laughing demon.
04:30Tyler laughs a lot?
04:31No.
04:32In fact, I laughed once.
04:34You know, it's something he said.
04:34He got all weird and defensive.
04:37So it doesn't like to be laughed at.
04:38No, it hates it.
04:40It can kill him.
04:42What does it want?
04:43It wants chaos.
04:44It wants to jump into good people and make them do bad things.
04:48So how do we stop it?
04:49We need to know its name.
04:51We have to call it out by name.
04:53Otherwise, nothing else will work.
04:54I thought it was that Saddam Dukakis thing.
04:57Demons have a binomial system of nomenclature, like plants.
05:01The genus and the species.
05:02We have a rough idea of the genus, but we need to call him out by his real name, out loud.
05:08Phil says there's a church here in town, St. Ignatius.
05:11They might have the Book of Baphomet.
05:14What's that?
05:15They're like a regional roll call for active demons.
05:19A lot of churches have them hidden in the basement.
05:21It's a big secret.
05:22Will they let you just check it out?
05:25No.
05:25It is a little more complicated than that.
05:28I've made some enhancements to our MEE technology.
05:31He said a demon like this will eat your MEE bean for breakfast.
05:36You'll have to extract it before anyone else can touch it.
05:38You're going to have to come up with something a hell of a lot stronger if you're going to wax it.
05:44My work is evidently cut out for me.
05:50We have a showing in, like, 15 minutes.
05:52That's not all.
05:58I still haven't told you guys the bad part.
06:00Oh, this has been the good part?
06:02Phil says if we don't stop this thing right now, it branches out.
06:05It bifurcates and spreads like a virus.
06:07Right now, he just wants me.
06:08But if he gets me, he's going to go after all the people I care about.
06:11The people I love.
06:13The people in this room.
06:14Then he goes after the people you love.
06:17And so on.
06:19And so on.
06:26I hate the bad part.
06:28Zoey.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48I'm sorry.
06:49I know you're busy.
06:49Listen, I need a favor.
06:55Yes, I've heard of Mr. Orley.
06:57He's the priest who turned gay at Easter a few years ago.
07:00Actually, he's the priest who announced he was gay and leaving the church during an Easter service.
07:06Well, his timing was unfortunate.
07:09Come on.
07:10What's a better time to come out than Easter?
07:12All those pastels?
07:14What is it you want, miss?
07:16So, I need to take a look at the runes in your basement, snap a few pics, flip through that book of Baphomet if it's available.
07:23Your Mr. Orley has been speaking out of school.
07:25You do know that Mr. Orley works for the Vatican now, right?
07:29So?
07:29Like, the Vatican?
07:32Some serious juice for you, uh, monochromatic types?
07:36Our basement is unavailable to the public.
07:39It's old and crumbling and dangerous, and our insurance simply...
07:42Okay, the fact of the matter is, Mr. Orley could get the Cardinal's office to call the Archbishop, who will call the Bishop, and eventually we get down to you back at the house types.
07:51But we just don't have time for that.
07:53So if I can get into the basement for five minutes...
07:57Absolutely not.
07:59Good day, miss.
07:59The Enfant.
08:00Remember it.
08:02Because I will be back.
08:04Okay.
08:30Yeah, it's just down the street.
08:37Yeah, it's kind of become our staff's unofficial sofa fort.
08:40So I was wondering if...
08:42Wow.
08:44How much?
08:46All right, I'll give it some thought.
08:49Yeah, thanks, Frank.
08:51Uh-huh.
08:52Bye.
08:53What'd you find out?
08:54Mm, no-go.
08:56Priest decided to play a little game with me called Dick in the Diocese.
08:58Yeah, Phil said he'd be a problem.
09:00He told me about his boss, too.
09:01The bishop.
09:02He used to box with the Jesuits.
09:04Likes to raise a glass or two and then looks for somebody to fight with.
09:07A brawling bishop, huh?
09:10Phil thought it would be useful.
09:12Hmm.
09:17I, uh...
09:18I'm sorry, sir.
09:18I gotta...
09:19Yep, sure.
09:19Go ahead.
09:20Catch up with you later.
09:21Bye.
09:23Megan, it's great to hear from...
09:25my mom.
09:28Well, when did they bring her in?
09:35It's her heart.
09:37A friend found her in the living room.
09:39Unconscious.
09:41Did you know she was taking ACE inhibitors?
09:43I, uh...
09:44No, I had no idea.
09:46Yeah.
09:46Can I see her?
09:48We have her stabilized, but, uh...
09:51Try not to get her worked up.
09:54Hey.
10:02How you feeling?
10:06Tired.
10:08Need to rest now, okay?
10:10It was him.
10:15Who was what?
10:17The man.
10:20He claimed to be a friend of yours.
10:23Tyler something.
10:26Tyler McNeil?
10:27He was one of the voices from all those years ago.
10:31He came to my house.
10:36As soon as he pushed his way through my door, I knew who he was.
10:40What he was.
10:42And he said all these horrible things about me that he shouldn't have known.
10:47And the awful part was that I...
10:50I couldn't disagree because he was right.
10:53No, he wasn't.
10:54And he had no right to mess with our family.
11:00Look at me.
11:02We made our peace.
11:05We are good.
11:09You know how happy Dad would be to know how good we are?
11:12Luke.
11:14Be careful.
11:17It's not the man.
11:19It's what's inside him.
11:24Get the door, please.
11:54I didn't expect to see you here again.
12:01I need a favor.
12:05There's a certain piece of technology we developed in spring of last year.
12:11I believe we codenamed it the God Floss.
12:13Augie, I have 81 projects in the pipeline right now.
12:23I can't recall every single one.
12:27I need a show for a friend.
12:30Yeah.
12:32I wonder who that might be.
12:34In this one case, I think...
12:35In this one case.
12:37That's what you said the last time.
12:38Which apparently was a warm-up for this time.
12:42I swear, this will never...
12:43Just...
12:44Don't.
12:47If it wasn't so important...
12:49It wasn't so important.
12:50A kid in an attic here.
12:52A monster in the basement there.
12:54Luke in a graveyard.
12:55Wherever.
12:56There will always be something, won't it?
13:00Jeffrey, bring me the file and the prototype name to the God Flosser.
13:25Project number KVD-1889.
13:32Give it all to Mr. Ripley on his way out.
13:39Cheryl.
13:41We're finished, August.
13:44I can respect you leaving Astra for your principles.
13:49But you never really left, did you?
13:51And now you're asking me to risk my job, my reputation, everything that I have worked for.
14:05It's too much.
14:09I'll come get my stuff.
14:11Preferably while you're not there.
14:13You really think it'll work?
14:32From five yards away, they all look the same.
14:35And if anybody stops you, just say you're helping the bishop.
14:38What's wrong with the bishop?
14:40He drinks too much and gets into fights.
14:43Oh, I don't know.
14:45Impersonating nuns, it just seems awesome.
14:49I was going to say sinful and really hard to do alone.
14:58Lomax!
15:04What?
15:04We're going to hell, we're going to hell, we're going to hell.
15:14We're doing this to stop the demon.
15:15It's got to be a mitigating factor.
15:17Come on.
15:26Do you think they know?
15:27I think they know.
15:27We look exactly like them.
15:29How would they know?
15:30I feel like I'm radiating Greek Orthodox.
15:36Sister?
15:38Shit, cover me.
15:40Cover you.
15:42Sister?
15:43Yes, Father?
15:44Could you give us a hand?
15:46Oh, I really need to...
15:47Just a few more boxes there.
15:49Okay?
16:01Okay.
16:02Okay.
17:05I really need to be going now, Father.
17:08What is so urgent?
17:10Well, the bishop had one of his bad nights.
17:15Oh, dear.
17:16Yeah.
17:17He was at that place that he goes.
17:21Hot against tavern.
17:23Oh, dear God.
17:24And it was karaoke night.
17:26I know, right?
17:28There was a booth full of Lutherans there.
17:30And you know the bishop, when they start talking smack about the 95 Theses.
17:36God help us.
17:38That's why I'm here.
17:50Shit, shit, shit!
17:53Come on!
17:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
17:57Hell no!
17:59Anyway, I really need to go.
18:01By all means, tell the bishop he's in our prayers.
18:05You bet.
18:05Did you get it?
18:12You got all of it.
18:13Come on!
18:14Shit!
18:24Shit, shit, shit!
18:26Susan?
18:27What are you doing here?
18:32What are you doing here?
18:47You kids don't mind me.
18:48I'm just going to...
18:50I just stopped by to say, like, hi.
18:53But listen, Susan, I kind of knew you had a secret,
18:56but this isn't my top six guests.
18:58No, no, no, no, it's not what it looks like.
19:00I mean, I was raised Methodist,
19:01but I'm sure we can work something out.
19:03No, no, no, please.
19:05Come this way.
19:06I'll try to explain.
19:10Okay.
19:11Crash, I know this looks really ridiculous,
19:22but you need to know that I am not a nun.
19:26I am just...
19:28Second to none?
19:38You know, I had a dream like this in junior high.
19:41Luke, what a surprise.
20:02I'm afraid we've gotten a little cross with these, Tyler.
20:05Mind if we talk?
20:07Sure.
20:12Look, Tyler, I don't want to lose you as a client.
20:14You're goddamn right you don't.
20:20I can sell your house for top dollar,
20:22and I can get you into a place that you love.
20:25That's what I do.
20:25See, here's the thing, Luke.
20:28Now, you've made it clear
20:29you don't want to be in business with me.
20:32So why in the world should I be in business with you?
20:34Because we're friends, Tyler.
20:39And that's what friends do.
20:43Look, I'm having a little get-together on Saturday night
20:46with all my friends.
20:47In fact,
20:48I'd really like it if you were there.
20:53All of your friends
20:54together in one place.
20:58I wouldn't miss that for the world.
21:01I'd invite my mom,
21:03but she's in the hospital.
21:06Nothing serious, I hope.
21:09She'll be fine.
21:11I hope so.
21:11Give her my best.
21:16I'll do that.
21:38You're in luck?
21:39I've effectively managed to triple the output
21:41of our legacy M.E.E. technology.
21:43Enough to solve our little problem
21:45with Mr. MacNeil?
21:46If you can weaken him first,
21:48we have a chance.
21:51Okay.
22:01So I need you to talk me out of something.
22:04You know the Telltale Heart?
22:06Bar right down the block?
22:08I know it well.
22:09It just went up for sale.
22:10And, well,
22:12I'm thinking about buying it.
22:15I know.
22:16It's dumb.
22:16It's middle-aged crazy.
22:23It seems to me
22:24the move of a man
22:25who wants control
22:27over a place
22:27that is meaningful to him.
22:30Well,
22:31that is way loftier
22:32than my middle-aged crazy theory,
22:34but damn,
22:35I don't know.
22:36I wonder.
22:39Is real estate all I am?
22:41It's what you're very good at.
22:48I don't know.
22:50The thought of owning a place
22:51where people just get together
22:53to have a good time,
22:54real people.
22:55The ones still breathing?
22:56Yeah.
22:57Them.
22:59It just sounds good.
23:02Luke,
23:02I don't know what to tell you.
23:04It's reckless.
23:05It's impulsive.
23:06It's impractical.
23:07And I absolutely think
23:11you should do it.
23:14You really aren't good
23:15at the whole
23:16talking me out of this thing.
23:17To employ a sports metaphor,
23:19perhaps
23:20it's time for a big swing.
23:27Yeah, it is.
23:29In August,
23:30I'm just getting warmed up.
23:33Hey.
23:52Here to see your mom?
23:55How is she?
23:56Same.
23:57Stable.
23:58I'm gonna keep her around a while.
23:59So what else is new?
24:07I broke up with Hunter.
24:12That's a shame.
24:15We wanted different things.
24:17So.
24:18Do you have the energy
24:19for a walk?
24:21Maybe a short one?
24:29It just feels like
24:31the last few years
24:32I've been stuck
24:32in a holding pattern.
24:34Like at the airport,
24:36walking alongside
24:37the moving walkway,
24:39hoofing it along
24:40at the same speed,
24:41but
24:42everybody seems
24:43to be moving past you.
24:46Have agency
24:47done well?
24:48That's not progress.
24:50It's stasis.
24:52So I've decided
24:53I need to make
24:54a bold move.
24:55Or two.
24:56Yeah?
25:00First,
25:02buying a bar.
25:04A bar?
25:06Was a sports car
25:07not available?
25:09Buying the heart.
25:11The telltale heart.
25:16There is something else
25:17I wanted to talk to you about.
25:20About us.
25:22Us.
25:23I want us
25:26to be us again.
25:29I see.
25:32So,
25:33I put together
25:34an offer
25:35for you to consider.
25:37Given today's
25:38marking conditions,
25:42club soda.
25:46It wouldn't do
25:47for the prospective buyer
25:48to be potted
25:49in his own establishment.
25:51So you heard.
25:53You know,
25:54Lloyd,
25:54I've been coming here
25:55for a couple of years
25:56and I don't think
25:57we've ever really spoken.
25:59So I thought,
25:59you know,
25:59maybe since we're gonna
26:00be like working together,
26:03we should get to know
26:03each other.
26:05I was looking
26:05at the bar's financials.
26:07I didn't see a line item
26:08that included your salary.
26:10How much do we pay you?
26:13Enough.
26:16Oh.
26:17Well,
26:17I only ask
26:18because a change
26:19in management
26:19is also a great opportunity
26:21to make any other changes.
26:22Might be good.
26:23Like hours
26:24or more live music
26:26or local bands.
26:32Anyhow,
26:33if you think of something,
26:34let me know.
26:38By the way,
26:39I asked the current management
26:40if I could close the place down
26:41for a private party
26:42this Saturday night.
26:44Sort of a celebration.
26:46Make sure there's
26:46lots of champagne.
26:47good stuff.
26:49Should be fun.
26:51Lots of laughs.
26:54Do you ever
26:54laugh,
26:56Lloyd?
27:01Well,
27:01Saturday would be
27:02a great time to start.
27:03They got the stuff?
27:25Money first.
27:26First.
27:26Oh,
27:35baby.
27:40You might want
27:40to be careful with that.
27:42Shit so much
27:42just touches your skin
27:43and your dead
27:44is dinner theater.
27:47Science.
27:54Oh.
27:54By the way,
27:58if you
28:00forget you ever saw me,
28:02you won't have to worry
28:03about your kids
28:04finding the stuff
28:05poured over their
28:05cornflakes one morning.
28:20So everyone knows
28:21what's going on?
28:22They're excited.
28:23Most of them
28:24have never been
28:25to an exorcism before.
28:26I told them
28:27to be ready
28:28for anything
28:28and everyone
28:29laughed big
28:30at the toast.
28:31Anyone seen Zoe?
28:33No,
28:33she's still
28:34at the office
28:34looking for the name.
28:36That's right.
28:37Is your
28:38death ray
28:39going to work
28:40without it?

34:16Sir, are you okay?
34:27He's got a pulse. He's breathing.
34:29So, what did I miss?
34:31Well, well, Max, what really happened?
34:36So when we couldn't find Tyler, I thought I'd check the back, you know, just in case.
34:41Sure enough, there he was, coming out of the kitchen.
34:44And I thought, what's he doing in the kitchen?
34:50Champagne fruit did not look right.
34:53Then I saw Lerch.
34:55What?
34:55Whatever.
34:56There was something at the bottom of each of the glasses and fingerprints on all of them.
35:01Clearly, it had been spiked with something nasty.
35:05I know death when I smell it.
35:07So we swapped out the glasses and we did the toast as planned.
35:10But I gave Roman the heads up because he's the boss.
35:14So, Tyler McNeil, like the real Tyler McNeil, he's going to be okay, right?
35:21I don't know.
35:23Crash went with the paramedics.
35:27Thank all of you.
35:29And, uh, you were right.
