"Previously, on "Preacher."" "_" "I don't hate you." "Odin Quincannon, this is Gary Cutler," "President of the bank." "Oh!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "Are we going steady now?" "Even better!" "Where is he?" "You are in possession... of an enormous power." "We need it back!" "Where, exactly, are you guys from?" "We're from Heaven." "No, no, no, no, no, you don't understand." "What's inside of you, it isn't God." "It isn't God?" "No." "What is it, then?" "It's a mistake." "What's 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." "Oi, oi." "You listenin'?" "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." "Well, don't." "You mustn't use it." "Do 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." "One day... thought to be impossible... but somehow, a soldier from one side and one from the other became drawn to each other." "Here you go." "Can I get you some coffee?" "An angel and a demon... fell in love?" "Traitors." "Strictly forbidden." "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... ya 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, threaten all of creation, then, yeah, it's a baby." "Now do you understand why we need it back?" "Okay, so..." "Seraphim." "Going for her phone." "We'll be right back." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "Hello." "Don't fool us." "We just need one more day." "You got a phone in there?" "!" "Yeah, we're not messing about." "Hey!" "Hey!" "You all right, ma'am?" "No." "Let go." "See her?" "Not yet." "Okay, body in the car." "Wait!" "Wha-What's goin' 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." " 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?" "It was one of the Seraphim, Angels of the First Order." "Angels?" "Seriously?" "What's it want?" "What all Seraphim want, order and control. "Peace."" "How'd it come back like that?" "It's called reinvigoration." "Lubbock's the nearest phone for us." "We've got 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." "God damn." "Angels." "Someone left their keys." "Eh, just leave 'em there." "_" "But if you're an angel, and she is 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." "Worked on you, right?" "It'll work on..." "Genesis isn't a power." "It's a scandal, 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." "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 was our first time." "We didn't know what we'd need." "How's it work?" "How do you get Genesis to come out?" "I sing to it." "Or..." "I'll sing to it." "It will come." "Probably just the towels." "It's not." "Here's a phone." "See?" "Told him don't got to go to Lubbock." "Go ahead." "Make your call." "Now, dialing only takes a second, but you're gonna have to look away." "Ugh!" "Don't!" "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 do that?" "Just happens." "What's it feel like?" "Don't feel like anything." "We just come back." "Sometimes immediately in the exact same place." "Other times..." "Shh." "Shh." "I think she's..." "Oh!" "Ugh!" "My dentist." "Remember... don't kill." "Restrain it." "Restrain it?" " How do we..." " Shh!" "Ugh!" "Restrain it!" "Is she alive?" "Damn." "Shite!" "Restrain it!" "What do you think I'm trying to do?" "!" "Fiore, hold tight!" "We gotta work together, otherwise we don't stand a..." "Pull her off!" "Stab her gently." "I said stab her gently you..." "Fiore, don't." "Duck!" "Oh!" "She's got an ax!" "Preacher, kill me." "Use the bed!" "Aah!" "Tie her legs!" "Yes!" "Grab the sheets!" "Grab the sheets!" "She's clawing my face off!" "I've got her legs!" "That's good!" "Fight it!" "You boys threw a party and didn't invite me?" "Oh, you're welcome, you know." "Clones." "Bloody clones." "Watch out for the cord!" "She's gonna electrocute you!" "Do you know what this reminds me of?" " Shut up, Cassidy." " Oh, fair enough." "Oh, Jaysis, what'd you do?" "I disarticulated her." "Ugh." "We need Genesis back now." "Genesis?" "What?" "Like the bloody band?" "That'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 dunno." "Why me?" "Why did it choose me?" "We don't know that, either." "We're just custodians." "I'm sorry." "I'm keeping it." "What?" "You can't keep it." "I think I have to." "Listen, please, we need it back." "We'll give you anything you want." "I have what I want..." "What God wants." "God does not want this." "How do you know?" "Like you said, you're just custodians." "And you're just a person... a sinful human being." "True." "So if I'm wrong and God wants Genesis back... he can come and take it." "Till then, I've still got a job to do." "Sorry about the mess." "Cass, let's go." "Oi!" "Oi!" "We can't let you do this!" "You're not letting me do anything." "Consequences, preacher." "Unwelcome, unforeseen consequences." "This?" "This is just the beginning." "I agree." "We can't let you do this." "Stay away from me!" "'Course, there's the other option." "No!" "Hey, Eugene." "Great." "Okay." "I-I'm sorry." "What are you doing in my..." "Stay away from my boyfriend!" "I-I didn't..." "I-I'm not." "Mommy?" "It's okay." "That was just..." "What are you doing?" "I'm sittin' in my car." "What are you doing?" "You just broke my kid's art thing!" "So, yeah, nice job." "What?" "I'll fix it." "What?" "!" "The art thing..." "I'll fix it." "Hello, Miles." "It's Cynthia again from Green Acre Group." "Sorry to keep bothering, but I haven't heard back from you." "We're wondering if Jerry Cutler and the other partners made the meeting with Mr. Quincannon?" "We haven't heard from them since they left, and could you let us know soon as you get this?"
