"JOSHUA:" "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..." "We need to find and stop the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." "War, Pestilence, Famine and Death." "ROSE:" "If those Four Horsemen succeed in breaking the seals, we can all kiss humanity good-bye." "Sergeant Andrews will escort you to your car." "What is it that you're hiding?" "I swiped this from the impact site." "Where's the rock?" "Excuse me." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Twice is a coincidence;" "three times, that's definitely a sign." "Welcome to ABADDON." "I think whoever's behind ABADDON could be the Horseman of Pestilence." "You think ABADDON'S about to make another strike?" "VERA:" "If they are, we have 36 hours to figure it out." "I need this wired into my account." "THE MAN:" "It says insufficient funds." "You know what they say..." "When you fall, you fall hard." "ERIN:" "Are we sure ABADDON's connected to the next Horseman?" "Yeah, Joshua's vision led us to ABADDON'S cockroach symbol." "So did the signs Vera and I saw all day." "Cockroaches were popping up everywhere." "Nasty." "(sighs):" "No kidding." "All right, what do we know about ABADDON?" "Aren't they some kind of anarchist hacker group?" "All about bringing down the system?" "ERIN:" "I don't know, but if what they're plotting is the sin that breaks the next Horseman's seal..." "Then every minute counts." "Peter, how much time is left on ABADDON's countdown clock?" "About 35 hours." "ERIN:" "Well, do we know anything about their leader?" "Nobody does." "That's the problem." "ABADDON's all about anonymity." "Every member's identity is a secret, even the leader." " It's gonna be hard to find a way in." " You're right." "Look, it may have been easy to find that clock, but it's not like there's a link to send them an e-mail." "Groups like ABADDON like to hide on the Deep Web." "To be honest, I don't even know where to start." "(phone vibrates, rings) Excuse me." "Hey, Alan, I'm kind of in the middle of something." "This can't wait." "Listen, the van that took off from Leo's lab" " with our meteorite sample..." " Yeah, yeah." "My cousin's finally got a match on the license plate." "It's registered to a ranger station up in the mountains." "How far away?" "It's a pretty decent drive, so we should probably head off soon, like tonight." "Okay, give me an hour..."

"Let's just say door number one seemed easier." "Whoa, we can't use this family's info." "It's not who we are." "So you're gonna pull the angel card on me now?" "Fine."

"I swear to God," "I've never met ABADDON's leader." "He must be finding half-assed members like you somehow." "Or would you rather die to protect some pathetic hacker's secret?" "He's trying to make ABADDON bigger." "He's been meeting recruits in coffee shops all over town." "Where exactly?" "There's one on West 33rd Street." "That's where he is this week." "(trembling breath)" "Thanks, Larry." "It was nice hanging with you." "(crying):" "Wait." "(footsteps approaching)" " Hey." " Hey." "You going somewhere?" "Yeah." "Alan called me." "We got a lead on the stolen meteorite." "I know that we're looking for the Horsemen, but this is important." " Vera..." " Just please hear me out." "That meteor is directly connected to the Devil, and the Devil has my son, so this is something I have to do." "Please don't try to talk me out of this." "Vera, I was gonna say I think you should go." " You do?" " Yeah." "I think you might be onto something." "All right." "I have to get going, 'cause we need to leave tonight." "Okay, but, Vera, please don't... (sighs) don't tell Alan about us" " or our gifts." " Why?" "Nadia knows." "I mean, she's an outsider." "Nadia's father died... we had no choice." "But to be honest, I worry about her." "If you share what we're doing with Alan, you could put him in the same kind of danger." "And this scar... is from when I wrestled a polar bear."

"Okay, but if she solves this crazy puzzle thing, we might get a meeting with ABADDON." "Crazy is right." "It's like some Rubik's Cube on crack." "NADIA:" "I told you this could take a while." "We don't have a while." "I'm doing my best." "Maybe I can help." "You know about computers?" "Ha." "I can barely check my e-mail, but..." "I do have a knack for languages, remember?"

"_" "We've got a problem." "NADIA:" "Any contact from ABADDON yet?" "(heavy sigh)" "No, not yet." "But I've been doing some reading on the banks that got hacked." "One was in Hong Kong, one was in Philly, and the other was Garreth Fletcham's bank in Dallas." "There's got to be some connection between them, though." "Can't you just, like, pray for the answer or something?" "That is not how this works." "I'm sorry, it's still a little hard for me to wrap my head around all this." "It does have a way of testing your beliefs." "Did your parents make you go to church?" "I never knew my parents." "They gave me up for adoption when I was a baby." "I'm... sorry, I didn't know." "It's okay." "My dad dying, it... it's been tough." "But at least I knew him." "Not meeting your parents, that... seems impossible." "Yeah." "It's kind of hard to have faith in anything when you don't know where you come from." "Maybe for now it's enough to know where you belong." "You sure this is gonna work?"
