[intense music playing]
[Ava grunting]
[Ava] Lilith, you bitch!
[glass shards clinking]
[wings flapping]
[energy crackling]
What the fuck? What did Adriel do to you?
He enlightened me.
-[Lilith grunts] -[energy resonating]
[panting]
[Ava grunts]
[Ava grunts, groans]
[Ava exhales]
-[energy resonates] -[Ava gasps]
-[flesh sizzling] -[Ava gasping]
What the fuck?
Are you doing this?
It's Adriel's final plague.
A burning light that only scorches non-believers.
[Ava grunts]
[Ava grunting]
[panting]
Lilith.
Come back to the OCS.
They can help you.
[Ava grunts, yelps]
-[Ava grunting] -[Lilith strains]
[Ava groans]
[panting]
-[energy whooshes] -[Ava gasps, grunts]
-[groans] -[metal clanging]
Lilith, stop this. Okay? Your sisters need you.
My sisters?
[Ava grunts]
You want me to return to a world I don't belong to?
To fight a battle without hope?
For the glory of a God who has abandoned me?
-[Ava grunts] -[Lilith groans]
[energy whooshing]
[Ava groaning]
[both grunting]
-[energy whooshes] -[yells]
-[energy whooshing] -[Lilith yells]
-[energy whooshing] -[both grunting]
[Ava yells]
[Ava yelps]
[gasping and coughing]
You should join us.
[Ava groans]
-He likes you, Ava. -[Ava coughs]
That's why he hasn't killed you yet.
[ominous music playing]
[groaning]
[softly] Lilith…
-Please-- -[Lilith] No.
-[Ava groans] -No more talk.
-Come with me. -[Ava coughs]
Adriel will give you the freedom you've been seeking.
You can finally be yourself without fear of consequence.
[Ava groans, breathes rapidly]
No.
This is not a negotiation.
You will join the Halo to our cause,
or I will rip it out through your chest.
[breathing shakily]
Never.
Suit yourself.
[Ava groans]
You were right about one thing, Ava.
[energy crackles]
You are the last Warrior Nun.
-[grunts] -[energy whooshing]

[theme music playing]
[somber music playing]
[Jillian] There's nothing more I can do.
The ambulance is still ten minutes out.
I'm sorry I couldn't save the Arc.
I'm sorry I couldn't save you.
[Superion] Soon I shall kneel before God.
I hope He forgives my sins.
He will embrace you as His champion.
[Superion] Don't be so certain.
A life is a long series… of mistakes.
In every choice I made, I… denied God's light.
When the Halo rejected me, I resented Him.
And when He chose Ava, I… resented her.
You can't carry the entire weight of the OCS on your shoulders.
[Superion, weakly] No, you can't.
I understood too late the importance of my sisters.
I let the scars and my shame blind my vision.
When you get to Heaven,
God won't look you over for victories or medals,
but for scars.
Take care of our girls.
[Beatrice] I will.
[gasping softly]
[exhales gently]
[Beatrice sniffling]
[Beatrice cries]
Let the Lord, who frees you of sin, save you.
[Beatrice cries] And raise you up.
[Beatrice sniffles]
[Beatrice crying]
We did everything we could.
[Beatrice sobs]
[Ava sobs]
[Ava crying]
Mother… [sobbing]
[Ava continues crying]
[sobs]
[crying]
[sobs]
[Ava continues crying softly]
[sniffles]
[high-pitched ringing]
[Ava sobbing]
[ringing continues]
[ethereal music playing]
[Ava continues crying softly]
[ringing continues]
[crying]
[Ava gasping softly]
[ringing fades]
[Ava gasps]
-[Ava crying] -[Superion gasps softly]
[gasping]
I haven't felt this way since…
Since it was yours.
-[Ava laughs] -Yes.
Thank you.
[Superion sobs]
[Ava and Superion laughing]
-[Dora] This is a miracle. -[faint birdsong]
[Superion] I suppose, as a former Halo-bearer,
I still have a connection with it.
It reached out for me.
[sighs]
We should pray.
For Camila, Yasmine, and everyone we've lost.
To hell with that.
Bea.
I'm sorry.
I'm truly grateful that you're alive. I am.
But Adriel is literally sucking our prayers out of the air.
I mean, who are we even praying to?
Beatrice…
[soft emotional music playing]
[Ava] Beatrice.
Talk to me.
I lost the Crown.
It was right there, and…
I let my emotions blind me to the mission.
You saved my life.
But if I'd grabbed the Crown, we could've beaten Adriel,
and none of this would have happened.
Camila, Yasmine.
They might be here with us.
So you're saying, if… if I had died, the others might have lived.
I'm saying that maybe we're just… delaying the inevitable.
No.
The Beatrice I know never stops fighting.
Never loses hope.
No.
She never did.
Before.
You said we would stop him our way.
Together. That there's always something else we can do.
There is nothing else you can do.
Run.
Hide.
Are you kidding me? I was hiding.
[inhales sharply]
Our only priority now is to keep the Halo out of Adriel's hands.
At all costs.
[softly] Yeah.
If I left,
would you come with me?
We could go back to the Alps.
To the bar.
Hans and the regulars.
You could teach me how to dance.
I could teach you how to drink. [chuckles]
No.
I can't.
[emotional music swells]
[music fades out]
[pacing footsteps]
[pacing footsteps continue]
So, uh… I think we should exchange names.
You know, for morale.
-Morale? -Yeah. I'm Todd.
I would shake your hand, but I'm a little tied up at the moment.
-[Camila snickers] -[laughs]
That's terrible.
Yeah, I know. But see?
Morale.
I'm Camila.
Nice to meet you, Camila.
Come here often?
[Camila] First time.
[clicks tongue] Kinda sucks.
[wind blowing gently]
[Jillian] Oh, I can't believe you made it back in one piece.
[Miguel exhales sharply, sighs]
Tougher than I look.
[Jillian exhales]
[Miguel] Mm.
[Miguel grunts]
[Jillian sighs]
Oh, my boy.
-You're a man. -[Miguel sighs]
I, um…
I reviewed the television footage back at the cathedral.
When you, uh… When you reached out for Ava,
you said,
"We'll never get a better chance."
Better chance to do what?
[ominous music playing]
I can't explain it.
It's Reya, isn't it?
Something happened when you looked at her.
There's only one way to stop Adriel.
That's why she sent me back.
These women, they mean well,
but there's no reason for them to die for nothing.
[Jillian sighs]
I can end all this.
By sacrificing yourself?
[inhales, sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[sniffles] I think you sacrificed enough, Michael.
You can't stop this. No one can.
[scoffs]
Mum.
[Jillian sniffles]
Please… don't blame yourself.
How can I not?
There were forces at play that we couldn't understand.
[Jillian sighs]
We were both… pawns in an ancient game.
But you…
You never did anything but try to help me.
[scoffs]
To love me.
And I didn't want to admit it to myself.
I missed you.
[Jillian sighs]
So much. [crying]
[Jillian cries]
[pained grunting]
What…
[Miguel groans, exhales]
Oh, that's incredible!
[panting]
Like I said,
tougher than I look.
How'd you end up here?
[blows raspberry] Well,
I got in the van.
-[chuckles] -So…
My…
My dad died when I was very young.
[somber music playing]
My mother and I were left with nothing.
So…
When I realized how much she was struggling to feed me, I
joined the convent.
I was 15.
So you did it for the food?
No. [chuckles softly]
Now, that would have been a mistake.
I did it for service,
but I found much more.
Love, peace, acceptance.
[keychain rattles]
-[cell door opens] -And some ass-kicking lessons, apparently.
Well, yeah.
[hinge creaking]
[cell door clangs]
[device whirring]
Get your fucking hands off me, you brainwashed asshole.
[suspenseful music playing]
Leave him alone!
[Todd groaning]
[Camila grunting]
-[Todd groaning] -[guards grunting]
-[prod zapping] -Stop! Stop!
I'll go with you. Stop!
I'll go with you. Just leave her alone, okay?
-[Todd grunting] -[prod zapping]
Todd!
[suspenseful music builds, fades]
[soft ethereal music playing]
[approaching footsteps]
How are you feeling?
[Miguel] I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
About… everything.
[Ava] I'm tired of being sorry. I…
I want to do something.
I want Adriel to reap what he's fucking sown.
[Miguel] Then you know what we have to do.
[softly] No.
There's another way. I know it.
I know you're afraid.
But embracing death can lead to enlightenment.
[Ava] Enlightenment?
-Did Reya feed you that shit? -[Miguel] Ava--
-No. -[music fades]
No.
Fuck the enlightenment of death.
I'm tired of being manipulated by these divine beings. Uh…
This cosmic bullshit has nothing to do with me.
It has everything to do with you. If you didn't get the Halo, you'd be dead.
[Ava] If I didn't get the Halo, Adriel wouldn't be here.
There wouldn't be a literal hell on Earth.
Maybe I'd be dead, but I wouldn't be losing my friends.
I wouldn't be losing the life I just got back.
Listen.
[whispers] Michael,
I don't know what Reya told you, but dying,
really dying,
doesn't lead to anything.
[ethereal music resumes]
Trust me. I've been there. It's…
[sighs softly]
There's no Heaven.
No enlightenment.
It's just… nothing.
But what good is living if the world dies around us?
We're out of options.
No.
No. I won't accept that.
-Mother Superion says there's always hope. -[scoffs softly]
[Ava] There's always another option.
-Like what? -[Ava] I don't know.
[music swells]
But there's got to be something that… There's…
[screams echoing]
Something…
Ava, what are you gonna do?
[dramatic music building]
I'm taking one last shot.
[distant dog barking]
[ominous music playing]
[straining softly]
[man] Have you accepted the truth of Adriel?
I believe I have, yes.
Your Eminence, forgive me.
[ominous music intensifies]
[energy resonating]
-[grunts] -[flesh sizzling]
[grunts]
[music fades]
Is that
me?
[Vincent] Clearly, you've made an impression.
How did you find me?
Last time I saw you, it looked like you had some… thinking to do.
And that's the nearest bar to Adriel's Cathedral.
I thought the light spared Adriel's believers.
It does.
It did.
[dramatic music playing]
You took the Crown.
Why didn't you give it to Adriel?
I was hoping against hope.
[energy crackling]
So was I.
[dramatic music swells]
[sighs deeply]
[music fades]
[sniffles]
[approaching footsteps]
I was attempting to track the location of the Arc.
I couldn't find it anywhere in the cathedral.
So I thought it may be shielded somehow.
The Arc requires an enormous amount of energy to function at full output.
So, if the prayer energy enters through the rooftop array,
chasing its path should lead us to the Arc's position.
Agreed.
So where is it?
The energy path leads into this conductive bracing,
directed towards the floor.
The floor?
It… It makes sense if the design is symmetrical.
-[ominous music playing] -The Arc…
Is underground.
[cell lock clicking]
[hinge creaking]
Todd! You're all right.
[menacingly] Everything is all right.
I have witnessed Adriel's glory.
-No, no, no… -[Todd] Rejoice, Sister.
For now you enter his service.
No!
[dramatic stinger]
What did he do to you?
He opened my eyes.
His light is everything, Camila.
You'll see.
-[shouts] -[Todd groans]
-[Camila gasps] -[body thuds]
-[Camila] Yasmine?! -Hi, Camila. [panting]
I have so many questions.
[laughs] I know.
[panting]
-[both sigh happily] -[Yasmine] You…
[Yasmine inhales, sighs]
I couldn't get out when others escaped.
So I kept hiding in the cathedral, looking for a way to get to you.
-[sighs] Sorry it took me so long. -Trust me.
You were right on time.
Is he… dead?
He's breathing. Just knocked out.
Oh my God. That was scary.
I've never conked anyone on the head before.
Seminary didn't really prepare me for that kind of work.
You're a natural.
[Camila exhales]
Did you see what they did to him?
There's some sort of ritual in the main hall.
[eerie choir chanting] ♪ Adriel ♪
♪ Adriel ♪

-[choir continues] ♪ Adriel ♪ -[baby crying]

Bless and protect this child.
In the name
of Adriel.
[dissonant energy continues resonating]
[baby crying]
[choir continues] ♪ Adriel ♪
[whimpering]
[distant voice screaming]
God. What happened to it?
They're possessing them with demons.
[choir continues singing]
Where is Adriel?
No one knows.
He comes and goes, and he just shows up out of nowhere.
Everyone's terrified.
[panting]
-We have to get out of here. -Wait.
We can't just leave these people.
We have to call the others.
I don't want to stay here.
I'm afraid.
[dramatic music playing]
Me too.
But listen.
Sister Warriors don't run.
-I'm not a Sister-- -Yes, you are.
You're one of us now.
[Ava] If the others see you, they'll kill you before I can explain.
-[music fades] -[Vincent] I wouldn't blame them.
Yeah. Neither would I.
We have to talk.
[distant dog barking]
You turned on Adriel.
-I saw it when you picked up the Crown. -[Vincent sighs]
[breathing rapidly]
When Adriel murdered Duretti, and made the claim that God had done it,
I realized that just because a man can create miracles,
that doesn't make him God.
No.
Turns out it just makes him a man.
A hard lesson for a priest to learn.
We're all learning some hard lessons lately.
[Vincent] You must not give up, Ava.
You can still win this.
Did you see us out there?
We were outmatched at every turn.
Adriel knows every move before you can make it.
Yeah, I know.
[somber music playing]
Question is, what are you gonna do about it?
There's nothing more I can do.
I have betrayed my church, my family, and my world.
I'm broken in body and soul.
I have but one ember of hope left in my heart.
You, Ava.
That's fucking great.
You let the devil loose, and I have to put the genie back in the bottle.
-Come on. -Well, technically…
you let the devil loose.
Yeah, because you lied to me. Because you manipulated me.
Yes, because you were innocent, naïve.
Because you got your Halo by accident,
I took it as a sign that you were the key I could use to free Adriel.
Fantastic.
[Vincent] But I was wrong.
I believe that you were chosen by the Halo.
I thank God it went to you and not Lilith.
I believe that you, only you, can restore the world.
I really don't care about what you believe in.
What I need is to find a way to take on Adriel alone,
without risking the lives of the people I love.
Now, can you help me with that?
The Crown is the key, Ava.
Adriel is afraid of it.
Yeah, 'course he is. It got him locked up for a thousand years.
[Vincent] No, it's more than that.
It's something in the nature of the Crown that he fears.
Back in the day, before we freed him, how did you talk to him?
Through my divinium tattoos.
Show me.

[Adriel sighs]
[Vincent breathing rapidly]
Are you all right?
[Vincent breathing shakily]
[eerie music playing]
I deserve this.
[Vincent] What did you see?
[Ava] You were right.
Adriel is afraid of the Crown.
Something inside it.
Some… truth.
I couldn't quite see.
Do you think…
[Vincent exhales sharply]
[energy crackling]
…embracing death can lead to enlightenment?
[eerie music builds, fades]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
[Camila] Mother Superion. It's Camila.
Camila! You're alive?
So far, yeah. [sighs]
Yasmine and I are in Adriel's Cathedral.
She broke me out.
Can you find a way out?
We're not leaving.
What's happening here
is a blasphemy beyond blasphemy.
You need to send everyone to help us stop it.
Bye.
[dramatic music playing]
Mother Superion?
Camila and Yasmine are alive.
They need our help.
Go get the others.
[energy resonating faintly]
-[gun cocks] -Step away from her.
Get back.
-[Vincent] Please listen. -Michael, get that thing off of her.
Stop.
Ava chose this.
She put the Crown on herself.
It's true.
She's searching for a way to defeat Adriel.
Beatrice…
I don't know.
