[ominous music playing]
[dramatic stinger]
[Tarasks snarling]
Easy, boys.
I'm not here to fight. Okay?
[roaring]
[Ava] At least, I hope I'm not.
[female voice] Stop!
[Tarasks snarling]
[female voice] Let her come unto me.
[Tarasks shrieking]
[Tarasks snarling]
[high-pitched whooshing]
[Ava] They're gatekeepers.
[Ava gasps]
[ethereal music playing]
[Ava] Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Holy shit!
[energy resonates, fades]
[theme music playing]
[energy resonating softly]
[clattering in background]
[Vincent grunts]
[choking]
[whispers] What did you do?
[choking] Ava… chose this.
Beatrice, let him speak.
[gasps, pants]
The key to Adriel's destruction may be found in his realm.
Ava put on the Crown to seek it out.
Why would you help her with Adriel's destruction?
[Miguel] Yeah, what happened to your devotion to Eurotrash Jesus?
It died when he killed Duretti.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
I was manipulated by a power I did not understand.
And I turned my back on a power which had been entrusted to me.
I have paid,
and I intend to keep on paying until I can no longer breathe.
But Ava sought me out.
I took the Crown for her.
We must let this run its course.
And how could we possibly trust you?
After everything you've done.
[Dora] Sister Beatrice,
I believe him.
[Vincent sighs]
Even if he's telling the truth,
Ava can't take the Crown off herself.
How will we know when she's ready to come back?
It's a good point.
How are we supposed to know?
[soft ambient music playing]
Look.
[Beatrice] Impossible.
[Crown energy crackles, fades]
-Are you all right? -Fine.
Better than fine.
[Beatrice] What happened?
I was on the other side. I saw…
It doesn't matter what I saw. I…
I understand what we have to do.
What I have to do.
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
It was incredibly brave, what you did.
[Ava] Mm.
I'm a danger to myself and others. [chuckles softly]
-What did you see? -[Ava] Her.
I understand now what you were talking about…
[sighs softly]
Giving yourself over for the mission completely.
Separating your ego from your responsibility.
Welcome to my world.
I love my friends.
I know.
This has to work.
It will.
Okay, then.
[inhales, sighs]
We'll keep this between us, to keep the others safe.
If the others suspect for a minute what we're going to do,
they'll fight to stop me.
Understood.
Listen, Ava. There's something you should know about the Arc,
something my mother discovered.
[ominous music playing]
[Ava] The Crown showed me a vision.
Adriel's a fugitive from the other realm.
Having failed in trying to take power there,
he intends to make our world his kingdom.
We cannot let that happen.
[Superion] Right now, Adriel is setting up his endgame. Jillian?
[Jillian] Based on what I've learned,
it seems that Adriel is ultimately going to use
the prayer energy of his followers to activate the Arc
to open the floodgates, and
bring over enough wraith demons to enslave the entire planet.
And that's the way the world ends.
[Superion] We have no time. We need to act now.
We will use chaos as an ally.
There's one more thing.
For a while now, the…
the Halo has been giving out.
I thought it was rejecting me, and
when I went near Adriel's cross… the Halo failed completely.
I thought it was the end.
But the further I got away from the cross's energy,
the more the power of my Halo came back.
[Beatrice] We need Ava running on full batteries.
So destroying that cross is priority number one.
[Jillian] The cross is in the main hall,
and I've located the Arc machine in the south annex here.
We will divide into three teams.
One finds the Arc. Two destroys the cross.
Three, you will infiltrate the cathedral as pilgrims.
Keep in mind, the hall is going to be full with Adriel's monks.
These servants have demons inside.
They will be tough to handle.
Also, Jillian will be jamming all radio frequencies, once we're inside.
[Ava] So, to sum up,
we need to rescue Yasmine and Camila,
destroy the cross, find Adriel,
and fuck up his shit.
Everyone get geared up. We're hitting target immediately.
[nuns chattering]
[sighs] Ava's holding back.
She isn't telling us everything.
I know.
She reminds me of Shannon… before the end.
-I should keep an eye on her. Yes. -Better keep an eye on her.
[gentle music playing]
[gentle music swells]
I don't remember a lot from before,
when I was with you.
It seems like forever ago.
Only a few months for me.
But I do remember when I was… six.
I couldn't go to the park 'cause of my condition.
-So you built me a park. -[Jillian chuckles softly]
I did.
We spent so much time there, playing.
We always made the best of things.
You always did what you could to make me happy.
God, I… I wish…
I wish I could do that now.
I wish that too.
I realize that this is…
all… beyond me.
And I know that your…
your life was difficult.
But I loved being your mother.
More than anything.
I want you to know something.
Something that no one else knows.
On the other side,
the nature of life is different from here.
If I can stop Adriel, I may not come back.
But a part of me will always exist.
You made that happen
when you built the Arc for me, and I stepped through.
So please know…
that wherever I am, until the end of time…
I will always love you, Mum.
[emotional music builds]
[sighs]
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[Superion] Ava?
Yes? [clears throat]
I can come back.
No… [hesitates]
No.
Please.
Once you get the Crown on Adriel… this may be the only way to kill him.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
Are you troubled, my child?
[Ava] I'm overwhelmed…
with gratitude.
Sometimes the simple truth of being alive just… moves me.
So you see…
I'm reminding myself what's at stake.
What we're all fighting for.
[inhales softly, sighs]
This speaks to the core of your worthiness.
Why God chose you.
Why your sisters will follow you anywhere.
That's the problem, Mother Superion.
I don't want them to follow me.
In order to protect them.
I made that decision once.
And in spite of the cost…
I'll do the same.
[softly] Then you understand.
[Superion sighs]
[nuns chattering]
[music fades]
-[Ava] You've got that look in your eyes. -What look is that?
That look right before you aikido someone into submission.
Well… better not test me, then.
[Superion] I know I'm supposed to absolve sin,
but, being honest, I am…
[sighs]
…having difficulty.
I don't seek your absolution, Mother Superion.
Only a measure of patience so that I may demonstrate my penitence.
Fine.
I'll allow your actions to speak to your repentance.
Bring them all home.
No. You're not coming with us.
Beatrice.
No.
Look, I appreciate that you had an epiphany, and your help with Ava.
But do not take that to mean that you're in our good graces.
I don't think that.
I've no right.
We need his help.
-I don't trust him. -Neither do I.
But he knows the cathedral. He can get us in through security.
Besides, you're still a nun, aren't you?
Forgiveness is sort of your job.
[Beatrice sighs]
[soft dramatic music plays]
[Beatrice sighs]
Goodbye.
I'll see you again.
[in French] Fulfilling my hope, headlong, I go towards glory.
[in English] Ecclesiastes?
Talking Heads.
This is our last shot, Sisters.
[dramatic music swells]
Don't fuck it up.

There are so many of them.
How will we be able to make a difference?
[Adriel's followers chattering]
All we can do is try.
[suspenseful music playing]
Here goes everything.
Leave this to me.
Father Vincent. All guests must go through security.
Main entrance.
Brother Griffin, these… virgins are guests of Adriel himself.
His word was that they enter unseen.
And, uh… unmolested.
Meaning what?
Meaning that, if you so much as touch them,
you'll break his Holy Covenant.
Praise Adriel.
We're inside.
-Jamming all frequencies except yours. -[device beeping]
Good luck.
That was too easy.
My thoughts exactly.
[suspenseful music continues]
[music fades]
What took you so long?
Camila! [laughs]
-Hi! -Hey.
[Ava] Hi.
-Camila. -[Camila] Hey, Bea.
Hi. Sister Dora, Michael.
Father Vincent.
Hello, Camila.
Yeah, he's been… he's been born again… again.
It's… It's a long story, and we don't have time.
Well… I'll take your word for it.
So, what's the plan?
Find the Arc and destroy it. Same with the cross.
Take out Adriel and anyone who stands in our way.
Oh, and then what? What's the plan to get out?
Oh.
I see.
You've done more than enough.
You can wait outside and cover us.
No. I want to be part of this.
Yeah, she's… She's one of us now, so…
All right. Well, then,
as the Warrior Nun, I hereby make you a Sister Warrior,
effective immediately.
That's it? That's how it works?
-That is not in any way how that works. -Yeah. But we don't have time, so…
-Praise God and kick some ass. -[guard] Hey!

He split off to find the Arc.

Yasmine, you'll be with Ava and I.
Yes, ready, anything.
The rest of you, with me.
What?
-Nothing. -[Camila] See you after the fireworks.
There it is.
Just waiting for us.
Assuming you ignore the brainwashed cultists.
Kinda hard to ignore.
[Yasmine] Where's the Arc?
[Beatrice] This is where Jillian told us it would be.
Maybe they moved it?
[Beatrice] No.
She lied about its location.
What? Why would she do that?
[dramatic stinger]
[Beatrice] Ava?
[Ava] Because I told her to.
[music fades]
I don't… I don't understand.
Why?
Because things change when you realize not everything's about you.
I'm sorry, Bea.
But that's the Warrior Nun's job… right?
["Hymn For Her" playing]
They die so everyone else can live.
[Beatrice] Ava, don't.

Yes! Upside down!
What are you doing? Don't stop.
The upside down temple. The first church he built was inverted.
Adriel's repeated the design. [hesitates] It would have to be to…
[Beatrice] To focus the energy down.
[Adriel's followers chanting eerily]
The Arc is below that cross.
[echoing whoosh]
[water dripping faintly]
Are you up for this?
We don't have a choice.
We have a million choices.
We could be back in the Alps, drinking at the bar.
Enjoying our lives.
I don't drink. Remember?
[Ava] Mm.
Besides, if Adriel wins, the bar will be gone.
Everything will be gone.
We're both living on second chances anyway.
So fuck it.
[intense music playing]
[both exhale sharply]
[Halo resonating]
You've been practicing.
You have no idea.
Do you feel that energy?
Vibrating in the air?
[Ava] Yeah.
[Miguel] It's coming from this direction.
[eerie chanting]
We may have a problem.
I'll deal with Kristian.
Try to stall him. You two go ahead.
Okay.
-[snapping] -[music fades]
[Ava] Okay, so, walk me through this again.
[Miguel] Once we're discovered, they'll bring us before Adriel.
They'll expect us to use the Crown on him.
So we use it as bait to draw him in close.
When he's in range… I'll give you the signal,
and you…
you pulse the Halo's energy directly into me.
And the resulting explosion will tear the three of us apart.
That's the idea, yeah.
Michael.
You're sure… about this?
Adriel claims he can't be killed in this realm.
[exhales] Sort of.
I think he can't be killed by anything in this realm,
but the Halo, the divinium, and me are not of this realm.
Semantics, huh?
That's what we're betting our lives on?
-We're betting our lives on faith. -Ah. Even worse.
[eerie chanting]
That won't be necessary.
No more lies.
I know you have renounced your divine faith.
No.
My faith has been restored.
Is that so?
You know this is wrong, Kristian.
We've been blinded, deceived.
Adriel's work conflicts with everything you believe in.
[Kristian] Adriel is here.
Living proof of a world beyond.
Breathing evidence… of a higher power.
Who are you to question his works?
Who are you to question the alternative?
A benevolent creator who gave us a miracle in Ava,
risen from death to save us from darkness.
That, my friend,
is a fatal error in judgment.
My God doesn't punish errors.
[chuckles]
Your God…
is about to be extinguished from the universe.
[ominous music playing]
-[Beatrice, on radio] Ava's gone. Gone? Gone where?
She's trying to stop Adriel on her own.
[Beatrice] You need to destroy that cross.
[explosives clicking]
The plan's coming undone.
[grunting]
Okay. This is it.
Stay behind me.
Follow my lead.
[suspenseful music playing]
Your reckoning is at hand, traitor.
Is it?
So soon?
[Miguel] For a thousand years, you've escaped justice for your crimes.
That ends now.
-[slicing] -[Miguel groans]
-[gasps] -[flesh tearing]
No… No!

-[flesh ripping] -[Ava wails in pain]
-Ah, well. -[groaning]
I guess it wasn't important.
[Ava whimpering]
Ava.
[sobbing]
Your plan failed.
I've been ahead of you at every turn.
And right on schedule, you brought the Halo to me.
[Ava whimpers, breathes rapidly]
I've seen… the other side.
I know that you stole the Halo from her.
A power that dwarfs yours.
A power you can never outrun.
[Ava breathes rapidly]
You're absolutely right.
And that did occur to me as well.

[Kristian] Trust me, Sisters.
It's going even worse for your friends below.
[chuckles]
[Adriel] Imagine trying to bring light and guidance to your world,
only to be punished for it.
Exiled and trapped beneath the Vatican
where lesser beings use your power to create a new global religion,
a system of beliefs that imprisons humanity,
denies science, stifles progress,
subjugates women, protects the powerful,
and is responsible for the death of millions.
[Ava crying softly]
How is that any different than what you're doing?
[Ava whimpering]
Believe it or not, Ava, you and I are on the same side.
This universe is driven by forces you can't imagine,
powerful beings you can't possibly comprehend.
They see this world as primitive.
[whimpering]
A mere plaything.
Disposable.
[eerie music playing]
I see your world as a staging ground to prevent the next Great War.
A war against a devourer of worlds.
If I don't succeed,
it'll fall on you to stop her.
[Ava whimpers softly]
[music fades]
[Beatrice] You all stand between me and Ava.
I offer mercy to whoever walks away now.
Stay… and you'll never walk again.

Waiting for the Halo to be received by a perfect fool.
No!
Adriel!

Ava needs us.
The cross, it's an amplifier, isn't it?

Take it.
No.

No.
You're gonna make it. You'll make it.
