He received absolution after confessing his sin and then SPOILER ALERT was stabbed just outside the church.
We left David bleeding on the ground: Merry Christmas!
Evilreturns Jan. 9 for the final three episodes of its debut season.
We spoke to showrunners Michelle and Robert King about what lies ahead for the series.
We also asked about the upcoming season ofThe Good Fight,a show all good people adore.
In parenthesis, it said: Jonathan, good luck.
Is this punishment for what happened between him and Renee?
That is one of the things that will take him to the end of the year.
Its that kind of vague language of prophecy.
What also interested us was what Ben says about [the codex]: Wait.
This document has never been seen by anyone other than popes, and now three nobodies in Queens?
Ill tell you what I think happened.
All those popes showed it someone, and all those people couldnt keep a secret.
Because so much of writing today, especially for TV, is preaching.
We attempt to do a show that tries to not come out and say [what we believe].
Probably the only way we do is about Trump.
[Laughs] Thats not on this show.
Is this a clue to some larger puzzle?
Its a combination of the numbers and other things you’re able to find within the episode.
Its a fairly complicated puzzle.
There is a pattern, and it wont come together until the last episode.
What we really wanted to do was mimic the visual sense of looking upward.
Thats why we have our house under a train.
Youre looking above for a threat.MICHELLE:There are spectacular actors in New York.
Just the fact of putting a person on television almost de facto glamorizes them.
We went to great lengths not to have that be the case.
In story terms, its the fact that he bumbles it and ends up shooting himself in the head.
Also, the craft really came together.
You mentioned that innocence was a running topic throughout season 1.
How will season 2 develop for the characters?ROBERT:It becomes more personal to Kristen.
She finds theres a struggle within her own soul.
What starts as something about the children moves to something that is about our leads.
Before that happens, well get to see the fourth season of your CBS All Access seriesThe Good Fight.
Were interested in the idea of people rejecting subpoenas, or just not coming in.
And the judge is kind of like, How can you not?
You have to come in.
It will definitely be a fun year.
Probably a little more absurdist than most years.
