It can be frightening,

a change like this,

but there is some cause

for optimism.

I studied under

an ophthalmologist

who's the very top

of the AMD field,

and I think he'd be

very interested in your case.

-I'm afraid we can't afford

to go private.

-He's a friend of mine.

I'm sure if I ask him,

he could accommodate you.

What he's achieved in that field

is nothing short of miraculous.

-Is that what I need, a miracle?

-No. You need a course of

injections

and as quickly as possible.

[Horns honking in distance]

[Car door closes]

-It's the most aggressive case

I've ever seen.

-Any sign of cataracts?

-No.

-'Course. That'd be too easy.

You know, I'm starting to get

the feeling that you only come

see me when someone needs help.

-The perfect excuse.

-Only a recluse needs an excuse

to see their old friend

and teacher.

-I'm not a recluse.

-Hermit then.

-I'm not a hermit either.

-Alright.

-Alright? You'll do it?

-Alright, I'll do it.

-Love you.

-You're not even going to buy me

a drink?

-[Scottish accent]

Hello, is that Ms. Farlo?

-Yes.

-My name's DCI Harris.

I'm afraid I've got

some bad news.

It's your brother.

His body's been found at

a convent here in Scotland.

-[Sobs]

-We're investigating the

possibility of a murder-suicide.

-What?

[Seat belt clicks,

[Birds squawking]

-Let me just clear this up.

Have a seat.

So, we're still early days

in investigation.

Just piecing things together.

Would you like a cup of tea?

-When can I see him?

-He's with the coroner

at the moment.

-I want to see him.

[Telephone ringing]

-Hello. This is DCI Harris.

Look, I'm here with the sister

of one of the deceased,

Father Michael.

If you could let me know when

she can come see the body,

that'd be great, thanks.

In the meantime, how about I

drive you out to the convent,

talk you through what we know

so far?

So, Father Carol was visiting

the convent from Rome.

He was found murdered

in the chapel.

His torso sliced open.

Your brother's body was found

nearby on the rocks

below the ruins

of the old church.

So the working assumption is

that he killed Father Carol

and then he took his own life.

-My brother would never kill

anyone.

Nor would he kill himself.

-May I ask how your brother

came to be involved

with such an extreme sect?

-I don't know.

I haven't seen him

for a long time.

What do you mean, extreme?

-They follow a hard-core reading

of the Bible.

It's fire and brimstone

and then some.

A few weeks ago, one of the nuns

claimed that she saw the devil.

She cut her own eye out.

She was doing the other one too,

but she fainted.

-My brother was devout,

not crazy.

-You?

-I'm not interested in religion.

-You must be Grace.

There's no need to call me

Mother

if it makes you uncomfortable.

Sister will do.

-Hello.

-We meet under the most dreadful

circumstances.

But it is only by confronting

the devil that his grip

on us is weakened.

Before your brother

fell into darkness,

he was much loved by everyone.

-Fell into darkness?

What do you mean?

-It was a demon,

not your brother,

that killed Father Carol.

Your brother had the strength of

mind to fight it,

tragically taking his own life

in the process.

-So you saw my brother kill

himself?

-Indirectly.

-And what does that mean?

-The eyes of God are on us all.

-When you talk about my brother,

cut the bullshit.

-Grace! Mother, sorry. This --

-No, don't apologize for me.

Please show me where my brother

was murdered.

Mother Superior.

Ah, Grace, I hear the prayers of

thanks are in order.

-I'd prefer answers.

[Seagulls calling]

-The church dates back

to the 12th century.

It hosted

religious artifacts.

It was on the Pilgrims' Trail,

a beacon of light in dark times.

When it collapsed, they used

the stones for the new chapel.

They reasoned that the stones

had more godliness than

any new bricks could offer.

The founders call themselves

the Knights of the Morning Star.

They had a certain power

in the church.

Some say it was a dark force

that influenced even the nuns

in our convents.

But that's all

from the mystical past.

A fantasy, you'd call it.

[Clears throat]

This was the ultimate

confessional.

When they returned

from their bloody crusades,

they would stand here

in front of this cross

and take a step back

for every sin

that they had committed.

The more steps they took,

the more sins were forgiven.

Some arrived as murderers

and left as saints.

-They fell to their death.

-God caught them.

Luckily, I have only two sins.

Cake and coffee.

She admits to washing

your brother's body.

She claimed to have done it

out of respect for him.

-Well, that's

fucking bullshit.

-I did report it

to Detective Harris.

-Oh.

-He wants to

speak to her again.

-When?

-Tomorrow.

She'll answer all his questions.

Look, Grace,

a lack of transparency

has been a lingering stain

on the church's past.

I've come to reconsecrate

the chapel and the grounds

and bring them back to God.

Such a service cannot

be performed

on a foundation of lies.

You have the church's full

support, and I will help you.

-Thank you.

-I have something to show you.

Come.

-Hi, Dad.

-I'm not your dad.

Your dad's in hell with two

horns sticking out his head.

-Why did you do it?

-Do what?

-Beat me.

Starve me.

Lock us in cages.

-I took you in.

I tried to love you as my own.

It was hard.

Because you're the devil's own,

aren't you?

I should have killed you.

Instead I kept you in a cage

to hurt no one.

-You killed Mom.

-I died in the storm.

-Michael's dead.

-Bring him back.

-What?

-Save him like you did me.

I should've have drowned

with the others.

-What do you mean?

-You called on someone

that night.

It wasn't God that answered.

The darkness took me!

-We all prayed for you.

-[Laughing]

-That's a miracle.

That's for fucking sure!

Just like the day I found you

wandering on the beach.

10 years old.

All alone.

Cold.

Wet. Shivering.

Someone had thrown you

in the sea.

Threw you away to die.

Except you don't die! Do ya?!

Stop it.

-What's it feel like?

Your whole life,

wherever you go,

death and destruction.

It follows.

It's your shadow.

You could have

saved your mother that night.

But you didn't.

-No.

-You know why?

'Cause you might be in here,

out of the way!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

He was a man of God.

He was brilliant.

He found the relic

and he was to return it to us.

God's will in motion.

But Michael did not

understand its power.

Very dangerous.
