[Duretti speaking Italian]

[Adriel] A millennia since I've seen another human face.

But a thousand years alone...

in this hole...

seems like a small price to pay, now that I lay my eyes upon you, my dear.

Hello.

[stammers] Hello.

You seem surprised to see me.

I am.

[Adriel] You must have many questions,

but first there's something I have to say, and I mean this sincerely.

Thank you.

Thank you for returning my Halo, Ava.

[Ava's voice] He knows my name?

How can he know my name?

[Adriel] Oh...

[high-pitched ringing]

...I know a great many things.

[high-pitched ringing]

[whooshing]

[woman singing liturgical music]

[snarl grinding]

[high-pitched ringing]

[Mary sighs]

Time check.

Three minutes since she went through.

Did you hear that?

Someone's coming.

Fine. Let them come.

[Lilith] We still need to talk about what's happening--

Yes, right after I'm done with this.

Jesus.

-What is this? -[Adriel] Please...

don't be afraid.

[Ava] How do you know my name?

How is it even possible that you can be here?

Is this some kind of trick by Duretti?

[Adriel's voice] This is no trick.

[gasps]

What are you doing?

Get out of my head.

As you can see...

[Adriel and Vincent] I am...

[Adriel and Vincent] I am who I claim to be.

Is she...

She'll be fine.

Just a little rattled. Don't draw attention to it.

[Vincent] I understand.

Tell them.

[Beatrice] Tell us what?

Duretti, he's been named Holy Father.

Why am I not surprised?

We should just burn this whole goddamn place to the ground.

-[Vincent] How long has Ava been in there? -About five minutes.

[Superion] What's taking so long?

She needs at least seven minutes to recharge the Halo

before she can phase back to us.

[Mary] Assuming she made it in.

Can you talk to her? We need to know what's happening inside.

[Beatrice] I have no signal.

It might be the walls or interference from the energy the bones are giving out.

Standing here doing nothing is not an acceptable strategy.

We need to get the Halo out of this place.

What are you doing?

We talked about this.

I'm gonna blow the wall and get Ava out of there.

No. You don't know what you're doing.

Just setting these off like that could kill us all. Ava included.

So we do nothing?

You don't get to touch the dynamite. Are we clear?

Not until we figure out what happened to you.

I'm trying to help.

[Mary] I know.

Look, if Ava doesn't come out in the next five minutes,

I'll blow the wall myself. But it needs to be done properly.

Come. Help me drill a hole in the rock.

We need to channel these explosives deep.

But this is just a worst-case scenario.

I think we give Ava the benefit of the doubt

and a little more time.

She can do this.

You're right.

I know it.

[Ava] I don't understand. How is this possible?

The science behind who I am and how this is possible

would only confuse your fragile mind further.

Fine, I don't need the science, just tell me why.

Why you're here?

[Adriel's voice] Why am I imprisoned?

Men.

Humans.

You're all driven by irrational fears.

That makes you, what?

[Adriel] Something else.

An angel?

If you like.

We would certainly never refer to ourselves as such, but...

if the terminology helps you grasp the essence of this,

feel free.

No, it doesn't.

[Adriel's voice] Why am I here?

I am here because Areala tricked me.

The Areala?

[Adriel] The same.

She stole my Halo from me.

But I thought you gave up your Halo willingly.

That gesture was perverted... into a betrayal of the highest order.

[text message dings]

Jesus Christ.

[phone beeps]

[groans]

Kristian, you better come to my office.

I have news.

[phone beeps]

[mouse clicks]

[Jillian] What?

Michael.

[beeps, clicks]

[Velcro rips]

Hey.

Sweetie, what-- what are you doing? Come here.

Hey, what's wrong?

[sighs]

He-- he called for me, and then the light came, and I saw him.

I don't understand, darling.

All the ghosts were there, and they were looking at me from the pit.

The pit? What pit?

Please take me to the ark.

No, sweetie, it's not ready yet.

We're-- we're nearly there. A few more days.

No. It's almost time, Mommy. Today.

Time? Time for what?

For me to go.

No. No.

No, Michael, it's not. It's not time.

I'm...

going to get you better, remember?

You know that's not true.

I know you built the ark so I wouldn't have to die.

[beeping]

Now, please, Mommy, don't cry.

You're going to save me. The angel told me.

[beeping continues]

Please take me to the ark.

I need to see it.

Okay.

When Pope Urban the Second was made aware of Areala and her gifts,

he contrived to keep the power of the Halo to himself.

To do so, I needed to be removed.

They soon found out I could not be killed in this realm,

so they built this cage for me...

to keep me locked away for all eternity.

But you're proof of Heaven.

You're proof of God. They could have used that.

My child, you don't understand.

For these people, faith is based upon that which cannot be proven.

For without faith, there is no manipulation.

Without manipulation, there is no fear.

And without fear, there is no power.

[music stops]

[in Italian] Holy Father,

it's tradition to address the faithful and friends in the square

within the next few hours.

[in Italian] Of course. I know. It will be done.

[in Italian] Excellent.

We are here to help you with anything you may need, Holy Father.

[in Italian] What I need is to be alone for a moment.

I'm sorry, my child.

I am exhausted, and I would like to prepare myself better for the speech.

[door creaks open]

[door closes]

[crowd clamoring in distance]

[keys click]

[call ringing]

[clicks]

[in Italian] Put me through to the Commander of the Swiss Guard.

[Adriel] I don't blame Areala.

She was surrounded by opportunists who preyed on her innocence, her loyalty.

Both qualities that drew me to her at first.

What?

You remind me of her.

[scoffs]

I'm not. I'm-- I'm just someone who accidentally--

[Adriel] Don't.

Don't underestimate yourself.

Before this...

you were a victim of circumstance.

Alone, crippled, and angry, but you were given a second chance.

Now, most people in that situation would subjugate themselves

to the powers that gave them that second chance, but not you. No.

You realized that after one life of limited impact,

you wouldn't let that second opportunity pass you by. You would grasp it.

You would take control of your destiny.

Now the question that remains

is what you plan on doing with that second chance, Ava.

[Ava gasps] I-- I don't know.

A few weeks ago, I didn't believe in any of this.

Heaven.

Hell. Not even God.

[Adriel] And now?

Nothing surprises me now.

I understand.

How?

I'm not blind to your world.

My Armor...

whatever's left of it.

It's connected to me.

A part of me. Part of my realm.

It's still out there,

constantly changing hands,

feeding me knowledge.

Fragments, really.

Like a book with missing pages.

When in the right hands,

with those who understand its power...

I can piece them together.

They become so close...

yet so far away.

[exhales]

Ava, I felt so alone.

[Ava] I know what it means to be alone.

We don't have to be alone anymore.

See?

It's as it was before.

It's gonna happen soon.

My angel promised.

Your angel?

You mean the girl who came to see you, who disappeared?

Or the one who talks to you and gives you pictures?

Jillian?

[knocks]

Jillian, are you there?

Jillian?

[laughs]

[trembling laughter]

[gasps, laughs]

[laughing, weeping]

[gasps]

I want to stop the cycle of girls like me

being used, abused, and tossed away by powerful men.

The Church.

We fight the same enemy, you and I.

[Ava] And I presume you want your Halo back...

which I understand.

If I give you the Halo,

it will mean no more Warrior Nuns have to die.

Except me.

Honestly, I'm not sure.

You may survive...

and simply return to the state you were in before this.

Okay.

[high-pitched ringing]

It wouldn't matter.

[high-pitched ringing continues]

Only one of us can leave this place.

[high-pitched ringing continues]

[Adriel] I won't leave you here, my child,

not the way they left me.

[gasps]

[screaming]

[power tool whirring]

[Mary] Ten minutes. Something's wrong.

As soon as Lilith finishes, I'll start setting the charges,

but we need a new plan to get out of here.

As soon as these start detonating,

we'll have the entire Swiss Guard regiment down here.

We're not getting out the same way we came in.

And let's not forget, Camila is still up there.

Let me deal with Camila.

She may be able to help me hold off more trouble.

Go.

Make sure she gets away safe.

Don't wait for us.

Understood.

In this life or the next.

[Beatrice] In this life or the next.

-[Lilith] I'm finished. -[tool whirs]

[Beatrice] Start feeding me the charges, Lilith.

Let's get Ava out of there.

If I give you the Halo,

what will you do with it?

I will revert to what I once was.

A being of Heaven.

An angel?

An angel, yes.

I will bring the light,

and I will cast out the dark.

Yes.

[men muttering]

[Ava coughing]

I am your servant, agent of Christ.

Slayer of devils.

The girl,

she is important to you.

I can save her, but I need your help.

I need you to fight for me.

[man] Fight who?

The devils.

I swear it.

Another comes!

[rumbling]

[man] Stand at the ready!

[birds chirping]

[hammer clanging]

[hammer clanging]

[hammer clanging loudly]

[high-pitched ringing]

[Adriel] How do you feel?

[horse whinnying]

Who are you?

I'm the one who saved you, Areala.

My name is Adriel.

[high-pitched ringing continues]

I am, in your tongue, what's known as an angel.

[high-pitched ringing continues]

An angel?

How am I expected to believe that?

Because you are expected to believe that this is a devil.

[horse whinnying]

[Ava] You lie like a man.

But you are not a man.

[high-pitched ringing continues]

And you are no angel.

[Adriel] And you're a clever girl, aren't you?

But men will believe what men want to believe,

and I trust you'll keep my secret...

unless I take away what I've given you,

and I let you die without a second thought.

[Ava gasps]

[high-pitched ringing]

You fear me.

Why do you fear me?

Don't fear me.

We are the same, you and I.

We've both been misunderstood.

But?

[Adriel] You expect everything to be straightforward.

Right and wrong.

Good and evil.

You expect this because this is what you've always been taught to believe.

That divinity is infallible.

It's not.

It's messy.

It's complex.

You're full of shit.

[Adriel sighs]

I don't want to have to hurt you, Ava.

Awesome, so don't.

But you need to return what is rightfully mine.

I think I'm starting to get why you got locked up in here.

[Adriel] Well, that's all about to change now, isn't it?

Why else do you think you were sent here?

I wasn't sent here. I made this happen.

[Adriel] Oh...

but that's what you believe

because that's what we wanted you to believe.

Because we understood that's what you needed to believe.

You're no angel.

No.

No, I'm not.

-[high-pitched ringing] -[Ava gasping]

No! No!

[Ava grunts]

[Ava] No!

Now let's get you back to your room and get you comfortable.

Do you feel that, Mommy?

[Jillian] Feel what?

[zapping, crackling]

He's coming.

Who's--

[rumbling]

-[Ava gasping] -You've been wanting this for so long.

[continues gasping]

[Adriel] Now you get what you want.

[screams]

[Adriel] May my cage become your tomb...

Warrior Nun.

-It's okay. I'll be okay. -No.

-No, not like this. -I'm tired of being in prison!

No, no, no! Not like this! Not like this, Michael!

-[rumbling continues] -[Jillian] Maybe we should go together.

Maybe we shouldn't go at all.

Maybe it's a trap.

It's divine will.

[Jillian gasps]

[rumbling grows louder]

[echoing] No!

Come with me, Mommy!

[whooshes]

-Michael! -Jillian! No!

Now.

-[roaring] -[Adriel screams]

[rumbling]

-[whooshes] -[gasping]

[sobbing]

[continues sobbing] No.

No!

No.

Michael.

Michael...

[rumbling]

[gasps]

[rumbling continues]

[rumbling]

[Lilith] I tried to warn you.

No time to lose.

Everyone, get deeper into the tunnels.

[grunting, crying]

-Ava! -[Ava] Beatrice!

We're gonna get you out of here.

[Ava gasping]

What the fuck?

[Ava] Get me away from him.

We have to move.

Get her legs.

We're almost there.

[crowd screaming in fear]

[in Italian] Superion? What's happening?

[in Italian] I don't know.

But this will be the shortest Papacy in history.

[in Italian] What are you talking about?

[in Italian] Father Vincent and the girls.

They figured out what you did.

Why you did it.

[in Italian] Is this their doing?

[in Italian] Does it matter?

You initiated all of this.

You destroyed the Order.

You spilled blood in its sacred walls.

[in Italian] I was protecting the Order. As I have always done.

[in Italian] By killing Sister Shannon?

That's how you protect us?

We have to keep moving. More buildings could collapse.

[Ava] Put me down. Put me down. I can walk.

-[Ava gasping] -[Camila] Are you okay?

What happened in there?

Adriel happened.

[Mary] What are you talking about?

I'm talking about there was a man in the tomb,

and it was Adriel.

[Mary] That's impossible.

The angel?

[Ava panting]

He's no angel.

[continues panting]

He's a devil.

[crowd screaming]

[men screaming]

[crowd continues screaming]

[whooshing]

[in Italian] What? Sister Shannon?

What are you talking about?

I didn't kill anyone.

I've been trying to protect my reputation.

Keep it and the OCS intact so I could win this election.

[in Italian] And the bones?

[in Italian] Bones?

What bones?

[crowd continues screaming]

Stay here.

Father?

Fa--

[in Italian] What are you accusing me of?

I asked you a question.

[crowd clamoring]

[in Italian] Who is making such accusations against me?

[crowd clamoring]

My master.

You cannot be revealed to the world this way.

The Halo cannot be yours.

You know this.

Your plan to escape has succeeded,

and your machine awaits, as promised.

In time, you will be reunited.

[Adriel whispers indistinctly]

[shuddering]

Vincent set us up.

But if he's working for Adriel...

That means Vincent killed Shannon.

-That motherf-- -Mary, don't.

I'll handle this.

[crowd murmuring]

[whooshing]

You've been to the other side.

What are you?

Doesn't matter, but I know what you really are.

Nothing but a thief.

[Lilith cries out] Ah!

-[grunts] -[Camilla] Come on!

[Mary] Take it!
