IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME.
OUR LORD TOLD JOHN THAT
WE'D SEE MESSENGERS...
TRAVELING TO AND FROM HEAVEN.
HOWEVER, IT'S UNLIKELY
THAT A HOLY MESSENGER
WOULD TAKE THE FORM
OF THE LIKES OF THIS.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
TAKING TIME AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY...
TO HELP ME OUT WITH THIS, CATH.
I'D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.
BESIDES, IT GIVES JORDAN AND FRANK
SOME TIME TO SPEND WITH FRANK'S DAD.
ARE THE TWO OF YOU
STILL HAVING A ROUGH TIME?
OUR SEPARATION NEVER MEANT THAT
FRANK AND I DIDN'T LOVE EACH OTHER.
JUST THE OPPOSITE, IN FACT.
WE'RE GETTING
STRONGER AS A FAMILY.
YOU GOT THAT THERAPIST
LOOK DOWN PAT.
DO I REALLY?
IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH THE KIDS.
IT IS HARD. I'VE
WORKED WITH CHILDREN.
CHILDREN CAN'T BE PUT INTO
CONVENIENT, LITTLE BOXES ANYMORE,
WHICH IS GOOD, ON THE ONE
HAND, BECAUSE THEY SHOULDN'T BE,
BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, CATH,
IT MAKES ME NERVOUS.
KIDS SEEM TO KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT THE WORLD THESE DAYS,
BUT THEY'RE GROWING
UP WITHOUT ROLE MODELS,
AND KNOWING TOO MUCH MAKES
THEM REJECT RESPONSIBILITY.
EVEN THEIR OWN PARENTS DON'T
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT,
I'VE BEEN A, UH,
CONVENIENT SCAPEGOAT.
FIVE GIRLS CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN
A VISION OF THE VIRGIN MARY,
THE ULTIMATE ROLE MODEL.
AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE THEM.
IT'S APPALLING, ISN'T IT?
I JUST INSTANTLY THOUGHT, "WHY?
"WHY WOULD THE VIRGIN MARY
APPEAR TO THESE ORDINARY,
TO MY MIND, UNWORTHY TEENAGERS?"
AND I... I WAS... JEALOUS.
YOU HAVE STILL GOT THAT INSIGHT THAT
MADE YOU DR. HILL'S FAVORITE STUDENT.
JUST WORE TIGHT
SWEATERS TO CLASS.
ACTUALLY, CATH, I
NEED YOUR HELP...
BECAUSE, UM,
I'M AFRAID THAT, UH,
I DO BELIEVE THEM.
CLARE McKENNA,
LEADER OF THE PACK.
"FIGHTING, SMOKING,
CUTTING CLASS, PETTY THEFT."
NOT THE TYPE YOU'D EXPECT TO
FIND CHANNELING RELIGIOUS VISIONS.
CLARE'S PROBLEMS STARTED A FEW
YEARS BACK WHEN HER MOTHER DIED.
NOW THE OTHER GIRLS HAVE
BECOME ISOLATED FROM THEIR PEERS.
THIS SECRET THING THAT THESE GIRLS
HAVE CREATED MAKES THEM SPECIAL.
SO SPECIAL THAT THEY'RE CELEBRITIES,
AND NOBODY IN TOWN'S UNAFFECTED.
EVEN MY SECRETARY
IS CONVINCED...
THAT THE VIRGIN IS
SPEAKING THROUGH CLARE.
THE OTHER GIRLS WITH
THIS, UH, SECRET THING...
ARE KELLY CELAYA, INTO HORSES;
SHELLEY LARRABURE,
FUTURE ROCKET SCIENTIST;
LESLIE KING, PLANNING TO
OUT-SALINGER SALINGER;
AND MAUREEN REGAN,
INTO SERIAL KILLERS.
WHY'D YOU COVER THAT
UP? DIDN'T TURN OUT RIGHT.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.
IS IT A THOROUGHBRED?
HOW'D YOU KNOW?
I ALWAYS WANTED A HORSE.
ALL MY FRIENDS HAD HORSES.
BUT THE CLOSEST I EVER
GOT WAS DRAWING THEM.
'COURSE, MY DRAWINGS
ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE...
A LOG WITH A MANE AND A TAIL.
I GUESS YOU COULD SEE
ALMOST ANYTHING IN IT,
IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IT.
WHEN I WAS 12, UM,
A FRIEND'S MOM...
SAW JESUS IN A LOAF OF BREAD.
MAYBE SHE DID SEE SOMETHING,
AND NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
I'D LIKE TO HELP
YOU, IF YOU'LL LET ME.
REVEREND HANES WAS
READING FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN.
"JESUS TOLD THE APOSTLES..."
CHAPTER SIX, VERSE 36... AFTER
THE LOAVES AND THE FISHES.
HE WAS PREACHING
ABOUT HOW JESUS...
WAS THE BREAD OF LIFE,
THAT IF WE ONLY BELIEVE IN JESUS,
WE'D NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN.
"YOU WILL NEVER THIRST."
REVEREND HANES SAID THE APOSTLES
SAW JESUS, BUT THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE.
- "YOU HAVE EVEN SEEN ME."
- HE SAID NONBELIEVERS
GO TO HELL.
"YOU STILL REFUSE TO BELIEVE."
IT WAS SCARY. THEN IT WASN'T
SCARY. "YOU STILL REFUSE TO BELIEVE."
THERE WAS A LIGHT, AND IT MOVED.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE SHE WAS.
WE SAW HER. I SEE HER.
CLARE STARTED THE HAIL
MARY. IT JUST... IT FELT RIGHT.
HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE.
THE LORD IS WITH THEE.
BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN.
REVEREND HANES DIDN'T SEE HER.
BLESSED IS THE FRUIT
OF THY WOMB, JESUS.
CLARE SAID MARY WOULD NEVER APPEAR TO
SOMEONE LIKE HIM. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD,
PRAY FOR US SINNERS NOW
AND IN THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH.
HE SAID WE WERE SENT FROM SATAN.
CAN WE TALK AGAIN LATER?
IT WASN'T JOHN. IT WAS MATTHEW.
MY DAD'S THE PREACHER.
IT WAS VERSE 25...
ABOUT THE MAIDENS AND THE BRIDEGROOM
AND PREPARING FOR JUDGMENT DAY.
SHH!
FINALLY MY DAD TOOK NOTICE.
HE SAID THIS WAS THEIR
LAST WARNING. LAST WARNING.
THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED.
I SEE HER! "I SEE HER."
GIRLS!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. AND NOW
EVERYBODY THINKS THAT SHE IS DIVINE.
BUT SHE'S NOT.
SHE'S GOING TO HELL.
I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF
PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE FAMILY,
BUT I BELIEVE CLARE McKENNA'S
PROBLEMS STEM DIRECTLY...
FROM THE FACT THAT SHE'S
BEING RAISED BY A SINGLE PARENT.
THAT'S... NOBODY
CAN SEE THE TRUTH.
- TRUTH?
- ABOUT CLARE.
AND THAT TRUTH BEING?
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT.
OH, NOT NOW, YOU'RE NOT. I
HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CLARE.
WELL, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE
OTHER LADY FINISHES HER QUESTIONING.
AND THE SAVIOR SAID, "THE VISIONARY
DOES NOT SEE WITH THE SOUL OR THE SPIRIT,
"BUT WITH THE MIND THAT
EXISTS BETWEEN THESE TWO.
"THAT IS WHAT SEES THE VISION...
AND THAT IS WHAT..."
I'LL BET YOU'D LOVE TO
KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT COMES NEXT.
THOSE PASSAGES ARE MISSING.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP WAS INVOLVED?
- I WASN'T CONSULTED.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE
HELL THE M-MILLENNIUM GROUP IS.
NEITHER DO I, BUT I KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA,
WHICH IS NOT IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE GIRLS.
THROUGH THE YEARS, WE'VE INVESTIGATED
MANY WELL-DOCUMENTED APPARITIONS.
LOURDES, MARPINGEN, FATIMA.
IN EACH CASE, YOUNG GIRLS WERE
THE RECIPIENT OF MESSAGES THAT...
YOUNG GIRLS WHOSE BODIES ARE
CHANGING AND WHO FEEL ISOLATED.
VISIONARIES AT MEDJUGORJE STILL
RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM THE VIRGIN,
AND, UH, SIMILARITIES
AMONG THE SIGHTINGS ARE...
THAT'S LIKE SAYING
ALIEN ABDUCTION EXISTS...
BECAUSE ABDUCTEES
REPORT SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.
THE VIRGIN APPEARED TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE...
AND SHOWED HIM THE FUTURE
OF AMERICA, WITHOUT ANY FAITH.
IT'S UNCLEAR TO ME HOW YOU
CAN CLAIM TO BE OBJECTIVE...
WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP YOUR
MIND THAT THIS GIRL IS A VISIONARY.
YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP
YOUR MIND THAT SHE ISN'T.
IT'S INTERESTING HOW
REACTIVE RELIGIOUS
HOSTILITY IS FOLLOWING
PREDICTABLE GENDER LINES.
LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF
EVERY HIGH SCHOOL DANCE I EVER WENT TO.
IF SOMEBODY PUT ON A KISS
ALBUM AND CRANKED UP "BETH,"
WE'D SEE A QUICK RESOLUTION
TO ANY GENDER ISSUES.
I'D HAVE TO DISAGREE.
WELL, THE SLOW DANCE OF CHOICE WOULD
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE JOURNEY, "OPEN ARMS."
OKAY, I NEED A
VOLUNTEER TO READ.
- OH.
- SOMEBODY ELSE.
JESUS SAID, "AS GOD IS MY
WITNESS, YOU'LL SEE THE SKY OPEN...
AND GOD'S MESSENGERS TRAVELING
TO AND FROM THE SONS OF ADAM."
JESUS SAID HE'D SHOW US WONDERS
IF WE ONLY BELIEVED WHAT WE SAW.
MISS SHETTERLY, SHE'S SUPPOSED
TO READ, NOT MAKE STUFF UP!
"I KNOW THE FIRST ONES, AND
THOSE AFTER THEM KNOW ME."
THAT IS NOT FROM THE BIBLE!
THAT COMES FROM SATAN!
"I AM THE POWER OF THE POWERS
IN MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ANGELS,
WHO HAVE BEEN SENT AT MY WORD."
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- ALEX! BOYS, STOP THIS!
- DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- "I AM PEACE, AND WAR HAS COME
BECAUSE OF ME."
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL! "I
AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST,
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA."
I AM THE BEGINNING
AND I AM THE END.
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
I AM THE FIRST
AND I AM THE LAST.
SHE'S FORMIDABLE, PETER.
AND HIM? WHAT ABOUT HIM?
ARRIVED JULY 22, 1982.
THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.
HAVING CONFIRMED THAT A MEMBER
OF THE FAMILY IS HERE, PETER,
I'M DOUBTING MY ABILITY
TO MERELY STAND BY.
WHEN DARWIN PUBLISHED HIS THEORY
OF EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION,
PEOPLE LOST FAITH.
SOME COMMITTED SUICIDE.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE
FACE THAT POSSIBILITY NOW?
JUST REMEMBER WHY YOU'RE HERE.
IS CATHERINE'S
PRESENCE A PROBLEM?
NO. SHE'D NEVER
BELIEVE IN WHAT WE KNOW.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A
CHANCE TO MAKE UP MY MIND YET.
MY DAD THINKS I'M JUST TRYING
TO GET ATTENTION. ARE YOU?
RIGHT. MY FRIENDS
AND I REALLY WANT OUR
PARENTS PAYING ATTENTION
TO EVERYTHING WE DO.
CLARE, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT
SOMETHING YOU SAID AT THE PRAYER CIRCLE.
I USED TO BE A CHRONICLER,
LIKE YOU, ONLY I BELIEVED.
THEN I GOT TESTED, LIKE
YOU, AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE.
- TESTED?
- BY THE MAN WHO TOOK
ALL THE PICTURES OF YOU.
THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.
CLARE?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU THINK SHE'S A VISIONARY.
ALL I SEE IS A CHILD WHO'S GETTING A KICK
OUT OF TURNING THIS TOWN UPSIDE DOWN.
A CHILD WHO CAN
RECITE GNOSTIC TEXT?
THAT WASN'T FROM THE BIBLE?
BEFORE EMPEROR CONSTANTINE
EVEN BECAME A CHRISTIAN IN 337,
HE ORDERED THE CONFISCATION
AND DESTRUCTION...
OF ALL WORKS THAT CHALLENGED
ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY...
AS SET FORTH BY THE
COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325.
THE SO-CALLED "GNOSTIC TEXTS"
WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE BIBLE...
FOR, AMONG OTHER THINGS, PROMOTING
THE IDEA THAT MARY MAGDALENE...
WAS CHRIST'S WITNESS
AND THE ONLY APOSTLE...
WHO TRULY UNDERSTOOD
CHRIST'S TEACHINGS.
CLARE WAS RECITING FROM THE
TEXT CALLED "THUNDER PERFECT MIND."
IT'S FASCINATING.
PAGE AFTER PAGE
OF CONTRADICTIONS.
"I AM THE VIRGIN AND THE WHORE,
THE MOTHER AND THE DAUGHTER."
"THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA."
THAT ONE SHE TACKED ON.
SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY
IDEA OF WHAT SHE'S SAYING?
BEFORE LAUNCHING
INTO GNOSTICISM,
SHE PARROTED A SPEECH THAT
THE PREACHER GAVE THIS MORNING.
IF ALL HELL HADN'T BROKEN LOOSE,
MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE ADDED A LITTLE,
"IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST
OF TIMES," JUST TO KEEP THINGS LIVELY.
ARE YOU MR. McKENNA?
- WE ARE...
- I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
CLARE'S GONNA PITCH A FIT
WHEN SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN,
BUT LOOKING AT CLARE'S BELONGINGS,
FINDING OUT ABOUT HER INTERESTS,
WILL TELL US MORE ABOUT HER
THAN SHE'S WILLING TO VERBALIZE.
IF YOU SAY SO.
EVER SINCE THIS STARTED, IT'S LIKE
HALF THE TOWN IS FIGHTING OVER CLARE.
PREACHER HANES IS ALL OVER TV...
WITH PROMISES ABOUT
DRIVING EVIL OUT OF TOWN,
AND MISS SHETTERLY THINKS CLARE
IS SOME CASE FOR HER JOURNALS.
WHAT DOES CLARE
THINK ABOUT THAT?
CLARE LOOKS AT INKBLOTS AND TELLS MISS
SHETTERLY SHE SEES GOD WAVING AT HER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
BUNCH OF GROWN PEOPLE
WANT TO ACT LIKE JACKASSES,
WAITING FOR A DIVINE
MESSAGE FROM A CHILD,
THEY DESERVE WHATEVER
FOOLISHNESS SHE COMES UP WITH.
SHE CAME TO ME TODAY.
TELL ME ABOUT BEN FISHER. THE
DRAMA TEACHER? WHAT ABOUT HIM?
HE'S GIVEN HER A LOT OF BOOKS.
IN MY EYES, BEN FISHER'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S NOT OUT TO GET SOMETHING FROM CLARE.
HE'S BEEN GOOD TO HER, GAVE
HER THE LEAD IN THE SCHOOL PLAY.
TOLD ME SHE WAS GREAT
AT MEMORIZING LINES.
WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, IT... IT'S A BLACK VIRGIN.
IT'S BELIEVED TO BE PART OF A RELIGION THAT
CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE FIRST CENTURY.
THEY'RE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH NATURAL
PHENOMENON, LEY LINES, PLACES OF POWER.
LEGEND HAS IT THAT THEY
BECOME VERY HEAVY...
IF MOVED AGAINST THEIR WILL.
DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!
I'M SORRY IF WE UPSET YOU,
CLARE, BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
NO, YOU DON'T. YOU WANNA
PROVE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
YOU THINK I MADE MY FRIENDS
SAY THAT THEY SAW SOMETHING.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU. I
THINK IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
MAYBE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
THOUGHT THAT YOU SAW SOMETHING,
AND YOU BELIEVED IN IT SO MUCH THAT
OTHER PEOPLE BEGAN TO BELIEVE IN IT TOO.
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE
SURE SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU DO SEE, BUT NOT THE ANGEL...
YOUR ANGEL.
YOU DON'T SEE HIM
HERE. HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I WAS LOST AFTERWARDS.
CLARE?
I GO TO THE GARDEN,
BUT... HE'S NOT THERE.
WHERE HAVE THEY TAKEN HIM?
THE GARDENER'S
THERE, AND I ASK HIM,
BUT... AS I TURN,
I REALIZE IT'S NOT THE GARDENER.
I'D SEEN HIM DIE
THREE DAYS EARLIER.
JUST GIVE HER SOME TIME.
LARA? SHE SHOULDN'T
BE ALONE RIGHT NOW.
I DO HOPE YOU MEAN CLARE.
MR. FISHER?
MY NAME IS CATHERINE
BLACK, AND THIS IS LARA MEANS.
THERE'S BEEN AN UPSWING IN THE
NUMBER OF PSYCHOLOGISTS ON CAMPUS.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE BEEN
SOMETHING OF A MENTOR TO CLARE.
SHE'S A STUDENT. YOU'VE
GIVEN HER A LOT OF BOOKS.
SHE'S AN UNUSUAL
STUDENT. SHE LIKES TO READ.
STORIES ABOUT ISOLATED CHILDREN WHO HAVE
BEEN GIVEN SPECIAL POWERS AND DESTINIES.
CLARE SCARES PEOPLE.
THEY CAN'T ACCEPT THAT A HIGHER POWER
COULD, OR WOULD, SPEAK THROUGH A CHILD.
- BUT YOU CAN.
- SHE HAS A GIFT...
THAT FRIGHTENS
PEOPLE SO MUCH SO...
IT'S CONSIDERED A CURSE.
HELLO. MRS. BLACK? SHE'S GONE.
TAKEN THAT STATUE AND
ROUNDED UP HER FRIENDS.
SHE WAS SO UPSET. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
CLARE'S RUN AWAY.
SHE'S TAKING THEM TO THE WOODS.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
- THE POWER'S THERE.
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME. WE'RE NEVER
GONNA FIND THEM. WE HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING.
I LEFT MY HUSBAND BECAUSE...
I WOULDN'T STAND FOR THE SECRECY
SURROUNDING THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
I'M CERTAINLY NOT GONNA
PUT UP WITH IT FROM YOU.
NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT IN THE FREEZING WOODS.
NOT WHEN THOSE
GIRLS NEED MY HELP.
NOW, EITHER YOU TELL
ME WHAT YOU KNOW...
OR WHAT YOU BELIEVE,
OR I'M LEAVING YOU HERE.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
JUST LIKE FRANK BLACK.
CLARE HAS BEEN
COLLECTING HER DISCIPLES.
THAT VISION IN THE CHURCH THAT
DAY... THAT WASN'T THE VIRGIN MARY.
THAT WAS MARY MAGDALENE...
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
IN THE GARDEN.
MARY MAGDALENE WAS THE FIRST
WITNESS AT THE RESURRECTION,
RECOGNIZING THE RISEN CHRIST.
IF THE BLACK VIRGIN WAS MEANT TO BE
THE MAGDALENE, THEN THAT EXPLAINS...
LARA, YOU'RE JUST SEEING
WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.
I FELT CLARE GO INTO THE PAST.
HE KNOWS I WOULDN'T
LEAVE HIM, DOESN'T HE?
LARA... I HAVE TO FIND HIM.
HE'S NOT DEAD. NOT DEAD.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
HE'S ALIVE.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
- MR. FISHER, PLEASE STEP AWAY.
- THERE MUST BE A SACRIFICE.
- DON'T TOUCH HER.
- OKAY, OKAY, WHOA.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS. WE HAVE TO.
SWEETHEART... NO,
YOU CAN'T STOP US.
WE HAVE TO FINISH IT, AND
YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
ALLOW DENIZENS OF HELL INTO YOUR HEART.
HE'S NOT A CLICHÉ.
WE MUST END THIS GODLESSNESS.
I DEMAND TO BAPTIZE THESE
GIRLS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
OUR SAVIOR,
BEFORE SATAN HAS THE CHANCE TO WORM
HIS WAY ANY FURTHER INTO THEIR HEARTS.
MAKE READY THE WAYS OF THE
LORD. MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.
I BAPTIZE THEE IN THE
NAME OF THE FATHER...
AND OF THE SON AND
OF THE HOLY GHOST.
NO!
MOTHER, FORGIVE THEM.
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
THOSE WORDS.
CLARE BELIEVED SHE WAS
BEING CRUCIFIED. OF COURSE NOT.
CHRISTIANS HOLD
THAT PLEA SACRED.
CLARE HOLDS IT SACRED TOO.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU
WERE BAPTIZED AGAINST YOUR WILL...
BY A RELIGION WHO TRANSFORMED
MARY MAGDALENE OF THE GNOSTIC TEXTS,
THE APOSTLE OF THE APOSTLE,
INTO A MERE PROSTITUTE?
YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE,
WORKING WITH THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
NO.
I'VE SEEN. THAT'S WHY THE GROUP
WANTS ME. THAT'S WHY THEY WANT FRANK.
I'VE HAD THE EXPERIENCE
MY ENTIRE LIFE.
BUT NOT LIKE THIS,
NOT LIKE CLARE.
SHE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO HER, WHO SHE IS.
I ENVY HER STRENGTH,
AS I FEAR MY GROWING WEAKNESS.
WILL FRANK GROW WEAKER? WHAT
FRANK SEES IS ALSO DIFFERENT.
HE USES HIS ABILITY,
MANIPULATES IT...
TO SEE EVIL, TO FEEL IT.
I NEVER KNOW WHERE EVIL
LIES, ONLY THAT IT EXISTS.
DON'T LEAVE HIM
ALONE, CATHERINE.
THESE VISIONS ARE SO ISOLATING.
LATELY THEY SEEM TO
PREY ON MY LONELINESS,
DRIVING ME TO...
AN INEVITABILITY.
AND IF IT'S TRUE FOR ME, THEN
IT WILL BE TRUE FOR FRANK,
UNLESS YOU'RE THERE.
IF IT'S TRUE...
AND I'M NOT WILLING TO BELIEVE
THAT EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID IS TRUE...
I NEED GREATER PROOF.
AND I'M NOT WILLING
TO LET THIS LITTLE GIRL...
BE A MILLENNIUM TEST CASE...
OR A PERSONAL ONE
FOR ME, OR FOR YOU.
CLARE IS NOT FRANK OR ME.
WHO SHE IS OR WHAT SHE COULD BE
IS OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE GROUP.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENED IN THERE,
TELLING HER THAT SHE'S
BLESSED OR CURSED WITH VISIONS...
I DON'T SEE AN UPSIDE TO THAT.
CATHERINE,
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I CAN LET CLARE KNOW
THAT SHE'S NOT ALONE IN THIS.
DID YOU CHECK THE
CHURCH FOR A PROJECTOR? IT
WOULD BE EASY TO SET
SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP.
I KNOW WHO YOU
ARE. THEN WE'RE EVEN.
SINCE THE MILLENNIUM
GROUP AND THE FAMILY SPLIT,
THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME
KNOCKING HEADS WITH YOU PEOPLE,
AND, HONESTLY, I'M
NOT THAT IMPRESSED.
I EXPECTED SOMEONE
MORE FORMIDABLE.
INSTEAD I GET A CANDIDATE
FUMBLING IN THE DARK,
SO OBVIOUSLY AFRAID,
NOT ONLY OF WHAT SHE KNOWS,
BUT OF WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW.
I KNOW ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE ROLE YOU'RE PLAYING IS A LIE,
THAT YOUR ONLY AGENDA
IS THAT OF THE FAMILY.
MY ONLY AGENDA IS TO HELP
CLARE UNDERSTAND WHO SHE IS.
YOU'RE HER SELFLESS,
PIOUS GUARDIAN? IS THAT IT?
- YOU'RE ANGRY.
- DAMN RIGHT, I AM.
YOU ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A...
BE HONEST, MISS MEANS. YOU'RE
ANGRY BECAUSE YOU'RE JEALOUS.
IMAGINE... AT 15 TO HAVE HAD
SOMEONE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOU,
SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN.
WHAT IS IT YOU SEE?
ANGELS? DEMONS? THE FUTURE?
ANGELS, THEN.
BUT YOUR ANGEL'S
ABANDONED YOU, HASN'T HE?
YOU'VE BEEN WITHOUT HIS GUIDANCE
EVER SINCE YOU CAME INTO THIS TOWN.
YOU FEAR HIM, BUT
YOU RELY ON HIM.
BUT HE'S AFRAID...
AFRAID OF THE PRESENCE
OF A HIGHER POWER.
THE MAGDALENE.
I... I NEED TO KNOW.
YOU LIED BEFORE. YOU DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE
TO HOLD ME, YOU KNOW.
IF YOU BRING FORTH
WHAT IS WITHIN YOU,
WHAT YOU BRING
FORTH WILL SAVE YOU.
IF YOU DO NOT BRING
FORTH WHAT IS WITHIN YOU,
WHAT YOU DO NOT BRING
FORTH WILL DESTROY YOU.
IT'S HAPPENING. YOU CAN'T
SAY IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
YOU SAW. WHAT I SAW COULD
HAVE DOZENS OF EXPLANATIONS.
IT ONLY HAS ONE. SHE CAME
TO ME WHEN I NEEDED HER.
AND YOU'VE TAKEN
MR. FISHER AWAY,
AND THEY WON'T
LET ME TALK TO HIM.
HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO CARES ABOUT YOU, CLARE.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS.
YOU'VE ALL BEEN SHOWN,
BUT YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THE
TRUTH ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE SEEN,
BUT WHATEVER IT IS,
WHATEVER IT MEANS,
YOU CAN'T LET IT KEEP YOU
APART FROM THE WORLD.
YOU WERE BORN TO LIVE HERE,
NOT IN SOME MYSTICAL
PLACE INSIDE YOUR MIND.
MAYBE YOU HAVE
BEEN GIVEN A GIFT.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT WE'RE ALL GIVEN
GIFTS EVERY DAY...
IN THINGS THAT WE MIGHT
THINK ARE JUST ORDINARY.
I'M NOT JORDAN.
WATTS. IT'S LARA.
NOW THAT I'M SURE
ABOUT WHO HE IS,
I CAN'T JUST WATCH THIS HAPPEN.
WE'VE WATCHED WORSE THINGS
HAPPEN WITH LESS REASON.
YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED HIM,
HAVEN'T YOU? I SPOKE TO HIM.
AND THE GIRL?
AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH, LARA, YOU JUST
HAVE TO TRUST WE'RE
DOIN' THE RIGHT THING.
I CAN'T, PETER.
IT WOULD BE MURDER.
WHERE'S FISHER?
- HE'S NOT IN JAIL?
- YOU DIDN'T BAIL HIM OUT?
WHY WOULD I? YOU TELL ME.
SOMETHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I GOTTA FIND HIM BEFORE IT DOES.
IT'S AFTER 3:00, SO CLARE'S PROBABLY
GONE TO THE PRAYER CIRCLE, RIGHT?
THAT'S WHERE FISHER
WILL GO, FOR THE SACRIFICE?
YOU CAN'T STOP IT.
Y-YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU HAVE KNOWN WHAT'S
GOING ON ALL ALONG.
WHY WERE YOU SENT?
WHO IS HE?
MY OWN HUSBAND COULDN'T TELL ME
THAT I WAS BEING STALKED BY A PSYCHOPATH.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU
CAN TELL ME WHY A
SIMILAR PSYCHOPATH IS
STALKING A LITTLE GIRL.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP DOESN'T
UNCOVER TRUTHS, LARA. IT BURIES THEM.
- MY RESPONSIBILITY...
- MY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE CHILD.
OURS IS TOO.

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE.
THE LORD IS WITH THEE.
CLARE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN...
AND BLESSED IS THE
FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS.
HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD,
PRAY FOR US SINNERS.
♪ HERE I GO AND I DON'T KNOW
WHY I FLOW SO CEASELESSLY ♪♪
NO!
WHY DOES JESUS LOVE HER
MORE THAN ME? NO, ALEX. NO.
HE JUMPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO SCARE HER.
OH, GOD.
THE STAR OF THE SEA...
MOVES TODAY... TO ITS RISING.
NO.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO.
WAS ALL THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
BEN FISHER'S DEATH,
THE LIFE OF THAT BOY... RUINED,
AND CLARE...
I BELIEVE SO, YEAH.
FISHER WAS AT ODDS WITH THE
GROUP, BUT HE WAS RIGHT TOO.
THERE HAD TO BE A SACRIFICE IN
ORDER TO SET CERTAIN EVENTS IN MOTION.
SO YOUR BELIEF IN
SOME TWISTED DESTINY...
ALLOWS YOU TO
JUSTIFY YOUR INACTION?
WHATEVER I DID, CATHERINE, NO MATTER
HOW I MANIPULATED CERTAIN EVENTS,
FISHER WAS GONNA DIE
IN THIS CLASSROOM TODAY.
THINK ABOUT IT.
WHAT SENT CLARE TO THAT
PRAYER CIRCLE TODAY? WAS IT FATE?
WAS IT DESTINY? OR WAS IT YOU?
SO FISHER'S DEATH LEAVES CLARE WITH
NO ONE TO GUIDE HER TOWARD HER DESTINY,
TOWARD REVEALING MARY
MAGDALENE'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MESSAGE. IT
WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MESSENGER.
FISHER WAS HERE FOR A REASON.
TRADITION... AND OUR
RESEARCH... CONFIRMS...
THAT DESCENDANTS OF
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY...
THE FAMILY, WHOSE JOB IT IS
TO PROTECT THE HOLY GRAIL...
BEAR THIS MARK, LIKE BEN FISHER.
A THOUSAND YEARS AGO,
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP AND
THE FAMILY SHARED A VISION.
OVER TIME, THAT VISION CHANGED, INEVITABLY
PROMPTING A SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS.
THE SHROUD OF TURIN
WAS CARBON-DATED...
AND FOUND TO BE
FROM THE 14th CENTURY.
SOME BELIEVE...
THAT CLARE McKENNA IS THE
DESCENDANT OF JESUS CHRIST...
AND MARY MAGDALENE,
WHOM HE TOOK AS HIS APOSTLE,
HIS WITNESS... AND HIS WIFE.
WHO BELIEVES THAT?
THE FAMILY?
THE GROUP?
NOW SOMEONE HAS TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
TO RELEASE THIS INFORMATION TO THE WORLD.
IF YOU THINK THAT'S AN
EASY BURDEN TO LIVE WITH,
YOU ARE VERY, VERY WRONG.
BUT THIS IS WHAT I DO.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE.
WHY ARE YOU GIVING THIS TO ME?
MAYBE I DON'T TRUST THE
GROUP ENOUGH TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY SHOULD BE
HOLDING ALL THE CARDS.
I GUESS NOW IT'S YOUR DEAL.
HE GAVE THIS TO ME.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE.
HE SAID IT WAS A PICTURE
OF THE VIRGIN MARY...
FINDING OUT SHE'S
GONNA BE GOD'S MOTHER.
IT'S A PICTURE OF THE VERY
SECOND SHE UNDERSTANDS.
SHE KNOWS THAT
SHE'S VERY SPECIAL.
SHE KNOWS HER LIFE IS RUINED.
"SHE WILL COME IN A BOAT, LIKE
THE DAUGHTERS OF DANAUS...
AND THE VIRGIN OF
BOLOGNE-SUR-MER."
SHE FED THE SAINT, WHICH
INSPIRED THE WARRIOR MONKS...
TO DIG UP THE STABLE OF A THOUSAND
HORSES AND TAKE THEIR TREASURE...
TO HELP THE ANGELS
BUILD THE CHURCHES.
THEIR TREASURE RETURNED TO
BETHANIA, AND AT THE CUTTING OF THE ELM,
THEY ASKED THEMSELVES,
"WHOM DOES ONE SERVE BY
VIRTUE OF SERVING THE GRAIL?"
THUS THE SORCERER
KINGS BECOME THE FAMILY.
SHE SUFFERED EVERY
INDIGNITY FROM THEM,
AND SHE COULD NOT
RETURN TO THE FATHER.
IN A HUMAN BODY SHE
CAME TO BE CONFINED.
AND THUS, FROM AGE TO AGE,
SHE PASSED FROM BODY TO BODY,
INTO ONE FEMALE
BODY AFTER THE OTHER.
THUS, SHE BECAME THE LOST SHEEP.

OUR LORD TOLD JOHN THAT
WE'D SEE MESSENGERS...
TRAVELING TO AND FROM HEAVEN.
HOWEVER, IT'S UNLIKELY
THAT A HOLY MESSENGER
WOULD TAKE THE FORM
OF THE LIKES OF THIS.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
TAKING TIME AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY...
TO HELP ME OUT WITH THIS, CATH.
I'D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.
BESIDES, IT GIVES JORDAN AND FRANK
SOME TIME TO SPEND WITH FRANK'S DAD.
ARE THE TWO OF YOU
STILL HAVING A ROUGH TIME?
OUR SEPARATION NEVER MEANT THAT
FRANK AND I DIDN'T LOVE EACH OTHER.
JUST THE OPPOSITE, IN FACT.
WE'RE GETTING
STRONGER AS A FAMILY.
YOU GOT THAT THERAPIST
LOOK DOWN PAT.
DO I REALLY?
IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH THE KIDS.
IT IS HARD. I'VE
WORKED WITH CHILDREN.
CHILDREN CAN'T BE PUT INTO
CONVENIENT, LITTLE BOXES ANYMORE,
WHICH IS GOOD, ON THE ONE
HAND, BECAUSE THEY SHOULDN'T BE,
BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, CATH,
IT MAKES ME NERVOUS.
KIDS SEEM TO KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT THE WORLD THESE DAYS,
BUT THEY'RE GROWING
UP WITHOUT ROLE MODELS,
AND KNOWING TOO MUCH MAKES
THEM REJECT RESPONSIBILITY.
EVEN THEIR OWN PARENTS DON'T
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT,
I'VE BEEN A, UH,
CONVENIENT SCAPEGOAT.
FIVE GIRLS CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN
A VISION OF THE VIRGIN MARY,
THE ULTIMATE ROLE MODEL.
AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE THEM.
IT'S APPALLING, ISN'T IT?
I JUST INSTANTLY THOUGHT, "WHY?
"WHY WOULD THE VIRGIN MARY
APPEAR TO THESE ORDINARY,
TO MY MIND, UNWORTHY TEENAGERS?"
AND I... I WAS... JEALOUS.
YOU HAVE STILL GOT THAT INSIGHT THAT
MADE YOU DR. HILL'S FAVORITE STUDENT.
JUST WORE TIGHT
SWEATERS TO CLASS.
ACTUALLY, CATH, I
NEED YOUR HELP...
BECAUSE, UM,
I'M AFRAID THAT, UH,
I DO BELIEVE THEM.
CLARE McKENNA,
LEADER OF THE PACK.
"FIGHTING, SMOKING,
CUTTING CLASS, PETTY THEFT."
NOT THE TYPE YOU'D EXPECT TO
FIND CHANNELING RELIGIOUS VISIONS.
CLARE'S PROBLEMS STARTED A FEW
YEARS BACK WHEN HER MOTHER DIED.
NOW THE OTHER GIRLS HAVE
BECOME ISOLATED FROM THEIR PEERS.
THIS SECRET THING THAT THESE GIRLS
HAVE CREATED MAKES THEM SPECIAL.
SO SPECIAL THAT THEY'RE CELEBRITIES,
AND NOBODY IN TOWN'S UNAFFECTED.
EVEN MY SECRETARY
IS CONVINCED...
THAT THE VIRGIN IS
SPEAKING THROUGH CLARE.
THE OTHER GIRLS WITH
THIS, UH, SECRET THING...
ARE KELLY CELAYA, INTO HORSES;
SHELLEY LARRABURE,
FUTURE ROCKET SCIENTIST;
LESLIE KING, PLANNING TO
OUT-SALINGER SALINGER;
AND MAUREEN REGAN,
INTO SERIAL KILLERS.
WHY'D YOU COVER THAT
UP? DIDN'T TURN OUT RIGHT.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.
IS IT A THOROUGHBRED?
HOW'D YOU KNOW?
I ALWAYS WANTED A HORSE.
ALL MY FRIENDS HAD HORSES.
BUT THE CLOSEST I EVER
GOT WAS DRAWING THEM.
'COURSE, MY DRAWINGS
ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE...
A LOG WITH A MANE AND A TAIL.
I GUESS YOU COULD SEE
ALMOST ANYTHING IN IT,
IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IT.
WHEN I WAS 12, UM,
A FRIEND'S MOM...
SAW JESUS IN A LOAF OF BREAD.
MAYBE SHE DID SEE SOMETHING,
AND NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
I'D LIKE TO HELP
YOU, IF YOU'LL LET ME.
REVEREND HANES WAS
READING FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN.
"JESUS TOLD THE APOSTLES..."
CHAPTER SIX, VERSE 36... AFTER
THE LOAVES AND THE FISHES.
HE WAS PREACHING
ABOUT HOW JESUS...
WAS THE BREAD OF LIFE,
THAT IF WE ONLY BELIEVE IN JESUS,
WE'D NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN.
"YOU WILL NEVER THIRST."
REVEREND HANES SAID THE APOSTLES
SAW JESUS, BUT THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE.
- "YOU HAVE EVEN SEEN ME."
- HE SAID NONBELIEVERS
GO TO HELL.
"YOU STILL REFUSE TO BELIEVE."
IT WAS SCARY. THEN IT WASN'T
SCARY. "YOU STILL REFUSE TO BELIEVE."
THERE WAS A LIGHT, AND IT MOVED.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE SHE WAS.
WE SAW HER. I SEE HER.
CLARE STARTED THE HAIL
MARY. IT JUST... IT FELT RIGHT.
HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE.
THE LORD IS WITH THEE.
BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN.
REVEREND HANES DIDN'T SEE HER.
BLESSED IS THE FRUIT
OF THY WOMB, JESUS.
CLARE SAID MARY WOULD NEVER APPEAR TO
SOMEONE LIKE HIM. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD,
PRAY FOR US SINNERS NOW
AND IN THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH.
HE SAID WE WERE SENT FROM SATAN.
CAN WE TALK AGAIN LATER?
IT WASN'T JOHN. IT WAS MATTHEW.
MY DAD'S THE PREACHER.
IT WAS VERSE 25...
ABOUT THE MAIDENS AND THE BRIDEGROOM
AND PREPARING FOR JUDGMENT DAY.
SHH!
FINALLY MY DAD TOOK NOTICE.
HE SAID THIS WAS THEIR
LAST WARNING. LAST WARNING.
THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED.
I SEE HER! "I SEE HER."
GIRLS!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. AND NOW
EVERYBODY THINKS THAT SHE IS DIVINE.
BUT SHE'S NOT.
SHE'S GOING TO HELL.
I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF
PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE FAMILY,
BUT I BELIEVE CLARE McKENNA'S
PROBLEMS STEM DIRECTLY...
FROM THE FACT THAT SHE'S
BEING RAISED BY A SINGLE PARENT.
THAT'S... NOBODY
CAN SEE THE TRUTH.
- TRUTH?
- ABOUT CLARE.
AND THAT TRUTH BEING?
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT.
OH, NOT NOW, YOU'RE NOT. I
HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CLARE.
WELL, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE
OTHER LADY FINISHES HER QUESTIONING.
AND THE SAVIOR SAID, "THE VISIONARY
DOES NOT SEE WITH THE SOUL OR THE SPIRIT,
"BUT WITH THE MIND THAT
EXISTS BETWEEN THESE TWO.
"THAT IS WHAT SEES THE VISION...
AND THAT IS WHAT..."
I'LL BET YOU'D LOVE TO
KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT COMES NEXT.
THOSE PASSAGES ARE MISSING.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP WAS INVOLVED?
- I WASN'T CONSULTED.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE
HELL THE M-MILLENNIUM GROUP IS.
NEITHER DO I, BUT I KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA,
WHICH IS NOT IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE GIRLS.
THROUGH THE YEARS, WE'VE INVESTIGATED
MANY WELL-DOCUMENTED APPARITIONS.
LOURDES, MARPINGEN, FATIMA.
IN EACH CASE, YOUNG GIRLS WERE
THE RECIPIENT OF MESSAGES THAT...
YOUNG GIRLS WHOSE BODIES ARE
CHANGING AND WHO FEEL ISOLATED.
VISIONARIES AT MEDJUGORJE STILL
RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM THE VIRGIN,
AND, UH, SIMILARITIES
AMONG THE SIGHTINGS ARE...
THAT'S LIKE SAYING
ALIEN ABDUCTION EXISTS...
BECAUSE ABDUCTEES
REPORT SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.
THE VIRGIN APPEARED TO GEORGE
WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE...
AND SHOWED HIM THE FUTURE
OF AMERICA, WITHOUT ANY FAITH.
IT'S UNCLEAR TO ME HOW YOU
CAN CLAIM TO BE OBJECTIVE...
WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP YOUR
MIND THAT THIS GIRL IS A VISIONARY.
YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP
YOUR MIND THAT SHE ISN'T.
IT'S INTERESTING HOW
REACTIVE RELIGIOUS
HOSTILITY IS FOLLOWING
PREDICTABLE GENDER LINES.
LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF
EVERY HIGH SCHOOL DANCE I EVER WENT TO.
IF SOMEBODY PUT ON A KISS
ALBUM AND CRANKED UP "BETH,"
WE'D SEE A QUICK RESOLUTION
TO ANY GENDER ISSUES.
I'D HAVE TO DISAGREE.
WELL, THE SLOW DANCE OF CHOICE WOULD
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE JOURNEY, "OPEN ARMS."
OKAY, I NEED A
VOLUNTEER TO READ.
- OH.
- SOMEBODY ELSE.
JESUS SAID, "AS GOD IS MY
WITNESS, YOU'LL SEE THE SKY OPEN...
AND GOD'S MESSENGERS TRAVELING
TO AND FROM THE SONS OF ADAM."
JESUS SAID HE'D SHOW US WONDERS
IF WE ONLY BELIEVED WHAT WE SAW.
MISS SHETTERLY, SHE'S SUPPOSED
TO READ, NOT MAKE STUFF UP!
"I KNOW THE FIRST ONES, AND
THOSE AFTER THEM KNOW ME."
THAT IS NOT FROM THE BIBLE!
THAT COMES FROM SATAN!
"I AM THE POWER OF THE POWERS
IN MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ANGELS,
WHO HAVE BEEN SENT AT MY WORD."
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- ALEX! BOYS, STOP THIS!
- DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
- "I AM PEACE, AND WAR HAS COME
BECAUSE OF ME."
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL! "I
AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST,
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA."
I AM THE BEGINNING
AND I AM THE END.
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!
I AM THE FIRST
AND I AM THE LAST.
SHE'S FORMIDABLE, PETER.
AND HIM? WHAT ABOUT HIM?
ARRIVED JULY 22, 1982.
THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.
HAVING CONFIRMED THAT A MEMBER
OF THE FAMILY IS HERE, PETER,
I'M DOUBTING MY ABILITY
TO MERELY STAND BY.
WHEN DARWIN PUBLISHED HIS THEORY
OF EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION,
PEOPLE LOST FAITH.
SOME COMMITTED SUICIDE.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE
FACE THAT POSSIBILITY NOW?
JUST REMEMBER WHY YOU'RE HERE.
IS CATHERINE'S
PRESENCE A PROBLEM?
NO. SHE'D NEVER
BELIEVE IN WHAT WE KNOW.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A
CHANCE TO MAKE UP MY MIND YET.
MY DAD THINKS I'M JUST TRYING
TO GET ATTENTION. ARE YOU?
RIGHT. MY FRIENDS
AND I REALLY WANT OUR
PARENTS PAYING ATTENTION
TO EVERYTHING WE DO.
CLARE, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT
SOMETHING YOU SAID AT THE PRAYER CIRCLE.
I USED TO BE A CHRONICLER,
LIKE YOU, ONLY I BELIEVED.
THEN I GOT TESTED, LIKE
YOU, AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE.
- TESTED?
- BY THE MAN WHO TOOK
ALL THE PICTURES OF YOU.
THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.
CLARE?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU THINK SHE'S A VISIONARY.
ALL I SEE IS A CHILD WHO'S GETTING A KICK
OUT OF TURNING THIS TOWN UPSIDE DOWN.
A CHILD WHO CAN
RECITE GNOSTIC TEXT?
THAT WASN'T FROM THE BIBLE?
BEFORE EMPEROR CONSTANTINE
EVEN BECAME A CHRISTIAN IN 337,
HE ORDERED THE CONFISCATION
AND DESTRUCTION...
OF ALL WORKS THAT CHALLENGED
ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY...
AS SET FORTH BY THE
COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325.
THE SO-CALLED "GNOSTIC TEXTS"
WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE BIBLE...
FOR, AMONG OTHER THINGS, PROMOTING
THE IDEA THAT MARY MAGDALENE...
WAS CHRIST'S WITNESS
AND THE ONLY APOSTLE...
WHO TRULY UNDERSTOOD
CHRIST'S TEACHINGS.
CLARE WAS RECITING FROM THE
TEXT CALLED "THUNDER PERFECT MIND."
IT'S FASCINATING.
PAGE AFTER PAGE
OF CONTRADICTIONS.
"I AM THE VIRGIN AND THE WHORE,
THE MOTHER AND THE DAUGHTER."
"THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA."
THAT ONE SHE TACKED ON.
SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY
IDEA OF WHAT SHE'S SAYING?
BEFORE LAUNCHING
INTO GNOSTICISM,
SHE PARROTED A SPEECH THAT
THE PREACHER GAVE THIS MORNING.
IF ALL HELL HADN'T BROKEN LOOSE,
MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE ADDED A LITTLE,
"IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST
OF TIMES," JUST TO KEEP THINGS LIVELY.
ARE YOU MR. McKENNA?
- WE ARE...
- I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
CLARE'S GONNA PITCH A FIT
WHEN SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN,
BUT LOOKING AT CLARE'S BELONGINGS,
FINDING OUT ABOUT HER INTERESTS,
WILL TELL US MORE ABOUT HER
THAN SHE'S WILLING TO VERBALIZE.
IF YOU SAY SO.
EVER SINCE THIS STARTED, IT'S LIKE
HALF THE TOWN IS FIGHTING OVER CLARE.
PREACHER HANES IS ALL OVER TV...
WITH PROMISES ABOUT
DRIVING EVIL OUT OF TOWN,
AND MISS SHETTERLY THINKS CLARE
IS SOME CASE FOR HER JOURNALS.
WHAT DOES CLARE
THINK ABOUT THAT?
CLARE LOOKS AT INKBLOTS AND TELLS MISS
SHETTERLY SHE SEES GOD WAVING AT HER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
BUNCH OF GROWN PEOPLE
WANT TO ACT LIKE JACKASSES,
WAITING FOR A DIVINE
MESSAGE FROM A CHILD,
THEY DESERVE WHATEVER
FOOLISHNESS SHE COMES UP WITH.
SHE CAME TO ME TODAY.
TELL ME ABOUT BEN FISHER. THE
DRAMA TEACHER? WHAT ABOUT HIM?
HE'S GIVEN HER A LOT OF BOOKS.
IN MY EYES, BEN FISHER'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S NOT OUT TO GET SOMETHING FROM CLARE.
HE'S BEEN GOOD TO HER, GAVE
HER THE LEAD IN THE SCHOOL PLAY.
TOLD ME SHE WAS GREAT
AT MEMORIZING LINES.
WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, IT... IT'S A BLACK VIRGIN.
IT'S BELIEVED TO BE PART OF A RELIGION THAT
CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE FIRST CENTURY.
THEY'RE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH NATURAL
PHENOMENON, LEY LINES, PLACES OF POWER.
LEGEND HAS IT THAT THEY
BECOME VERY HEAVY...
IF MOVED AGAINST THEIR WILL.
DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!
I'M SORRY IF WE UPSET YOU,
CLARE, BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
NO, YOU DON'T. YOU WANNA
PROVE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
YOU THINK I MADE MY FRIENDS
SAY THAT THEY SAW SOMETHING.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU. I
THINK IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
MAYBE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
THOUGHT THAT YOU SAW SOMETHING,
AND YOU BELIEVED IN IT SO MUCH THAT
OTHER PEOPLE BEGAN TO BELIEVE IN IT TOO.
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE
SURE SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU DO SEE, BUT NOT THE ANGEL...
YOUR ANGEL.
YOU DON'T SEE HIM
HERE. HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I WAS LOST AFTERWARDS.
CLARE?
I GO TO THE GARDEN,
BUT... HE'S NOT THERE.
WHERE HAVE THEY TAKEN HIM?
THE GARDENER'S
THERE, AND I ASK HIM,
BUT... AS I TURN,
I REALIZE IT'S NOT THE GARDENER.
I'D SEEN HIM DIE
THREE DAYS EARLIER.
JUST GIVE HER SOME TIME.
LARA? SHE SHOULDN'T
BE ALONE RIGHT NOW.
I DO HOPE YOU MEAN CLARE.
MR. FISHER?
MY NAME IS CATHERINE
BLACK, AND THIS IS LARA MEANS.
THERE'S BEEN AN UPSWING IN THE
NUMBER OF PSYCHOLOGISTS ON CAMPUS.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE BEEN
SOMETHING OF A MENTOR TO CLARE.
SHE'S A STUDENT. YOU'VE
GIVEN HER A LOT OF BOOKS.
SHE'S AN UNUSUAL
STUDENT. SHE LIKES TO READ.
STORIES ABOUT ISOLATED CHILDREN WHO HAVE
BEEN GIVEN SPECIAL POWERS AND DESTINIES.
CLARE SCARES PEOPLE.
THEY CAN'T ACCEPT THAT A HIGHER POWER
COULD, OR WOULD, SPEAK THROUGH A CHILD.
- BUT YOU CAN.
- SHE HAS A GIFT...
THAT FRIGHTENS
PEOPLE SO MUCH SO...
IT'S CONSIDERED A CURSE.
HELLO. MRS. BLACK? SHE'S GONE.
TAKEN THAT STATUE AND
ROUNDED UP HER FRIENDS.
SHE WAS SO UPSET. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
CLARE'S RUN AWAY.
SHE'S TAKING THEM TO THE WOODS.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
- THE POWER'S THERE.
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME. WE'RE NEVER
GONNA FIND THEM. WE HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING.
I LEFT MY HUSBAND BECAUSE...
I WOULDN'T STAND FOR THE SECRECY
SURROUNDING THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
I'M CERTAINLY NOT GONNA
PUT UP WITH IT FROM YOU.
NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT IN THE FREEZING WOODS.
NOT WHEN THOSE
GIRLS NEED MY HELP.
NOW, EITHER YOU TELL
ME WHAT YOU KNOW...
OR WHAT YOU BELIEVE,
OR I'M LEAVING YOU HERE.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
JUST LIKE FRANK BLACK.
CLARE HAS BEEN
COLLECTING HER DISCIPLES.
THAT VISION IN THE CHURCH THAT
DAY... THAT WASN'T THE VIRGIN MARY.
THAT WAS MARY MAGDALENE...
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
IN THE GARDEN.
MARY MAGDALENE WAS THE FIRST
WITNESS AT THE RESURRECTION,
RECOGNIZING THE RISEN CHRIST.
IF THE BLACK VIRGIN WAS MEANT TO BE
THE MAGDALENE, THEN THAT EXPLAINS...
LARA, YOU'RE JUST SEEING
WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.
I FELT CLARE GO INTO THE PAST.
HE KNOWS I WOULDN'T
LEAVE HIM, DOESN'T HE?
LARA... I HAVE TO FIND HIM.
HE'S NOT DEAD. NOT DEAD.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
HE'S ALIVE.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
- MR. FISHER, PLEASE STEP AWAY.
- THERE MUST BE A SACRIFICE.
- DON'T TOUCH HER.
- OKAY, OKAY, WHOA.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS. WE HAVE TO.
SWEETHEART... NO,
YOU CAN'T STOP US.
WE HAVE TO FINISH IT, AND
YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
ALLOW DENIZENS OF HELL INTO YOUR HEART.
HE'S NOT A CLICHÉ.
WE MUST END THIS GODLESSNESS.
I DEMAND TO BAPTIZE THESE
GIRLS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
OUR SAVIOR,
BEFORE SATAN HAS THE CHANCE TO WORM
HIS WAY ANY FURTHER INTO THEIR HEARTS.
MAKE READY THE WAYS OF THE
LORD. MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.
I BAPTIZE THEE IN THE
NAME OF THE FATHER...
AND OF THE SON AND
OF THE HOLY GHOST.
NO!
MOTHER, FORGIVE THEM.
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
THOSE WORDS.
CLARE BELIEVED SHE WAS
BEING CRUCIFIED. OF COURSE NOT.
CHRISTIANS HOLD
THAT PLEA SACRED.
CLARE HOLDS IT SACRED TOO.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU
WERE BAPTIZED AGAINST YOUR WILL...
BY A RELIGION WHO TRANSFORMED
MARY MAGDALENE OF THE GNOSTIC TEXTS,
THE APOSTLE OF THE APOSTLE,
INTO A MERE PROSTITUTE?
YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE,
WORKING WITH THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
NO.
I'VE SEEN. THAT'S WHY THE GROUP
WANTS ME. THAT'S WHY THEY WANT FRANK.
I'VE HAD THE EXPERIENCE
MY ENTIRE LIFE.
BUT NOT LIKE THIS,
NOT LIKE CLARE.
SHE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO HER, WHO SHE IS.
I ENVY HER STRENGTH,
AS I FEAR MY GROWING WEAKNESS.
WILL FRANK GROW WEAKER? WHAT
FRANK SEES IS ALSO DIFFERENT.
HE USES HIS ABILITY,
MANIPULATES IT...
TO SEE EVIL, TO FEEL IT.
I NEVER KNOW WHERE EVIL
LIES, ONLY THAT IT EXISTS.
DON'T LEAVE HIM
ALONE, CATHERINE.
THESE VISIONS ARE SO ISOLATING.
LATELY THEY SEEM TO
PREY ON MY LONELINESS,
DRIVING ME TO...
AN INEVITABILITY.
AND IF IT'S TRUE FOR ME, THEN
IT WILL BE TRUE FOR FRANK,
UNLESS YOU'RE THERE.
IF IT'S TRUE...
AND I'M NOT WILLING TO BELIEVE
THAT EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID IS TRUE...
I NEED GREATER PROOF.
AND I'M NOT WILLING
TO LET THIS LITTLE GIRL...
BE A MILLENNIUM TEST CASE...
OR A PERSONAL ONE
FOR ME, OR FOR YOU.
CLARE IS NOT FRANK OR ME.
WHO SHE IS OR WHAT SHE COULD BE
IS OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE GROUP.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENED IN THERE,
TELLING HER THAT SHE'S
BLESSED OR CURSED WITH VISIONS...
I DON'T SEE AN UPSIDE TO THAT.
CATHERINE,
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I CAN LET CLARE KNOW
THAT SHE'S NOT ALONE IN THIS.
DID YOU CHECK THE
CHURCH FOR A PROJECTOR? IT
WOULD BE EASY TO SET
SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP.
I KNOW WHO YOU
ARE. THEN WE'RE EVEN.
SINCE THE MILLENNIUM
GROUP AND THE FAMILY SPLIT,
THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME
KNOCKING HEADS WITH YOU PEOPLE,
AND, HONESTLY, I'M
NOT THAT IMPRESSED.
I EXPECTED SOMEONE
MORE FORMIDABLE.
INSTEAD I GET A CANDIDATE
FUMBLING IN THE DARK,
SO OBVIOUSLY AFRAID,
NOT ONLY OF WHAT SHE KNOWS,
BUT OF WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW.
I KNOW ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE ROLE YOU'RE PLAYING IS A LIE,
THAT YOUR ONLY AGENDA
IS THAT OF THE FAMILY.
MY ONLY AGENDA IS TO HELP
CLARE UNDERSTAND WHO SHE IS.
YOU'RE HER SELFLESS,
PIOUS GUARDIAN? IS THAT IT?
- YOU'RE ANGRY.
- DAMN RIGHT, I AM.
YOU ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A...
BE HONEST, MISS MEANS. YOU'RE
ANGRY BECAUSE YOU'RE JEALOUS.
IMAGINE... AT 15 TO HAVE HAD
SOMEONE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOU,
SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN.
WHAT IS IT YOU SEE?
ANGELS? DEMONS? THE FUTURE?
ANGELS, THEN.
BUT YOUR ANGEL'S
ABANDONED YOU, HASN'T HE?
YOU'VE BEEN WITHOUT HIS GUIDANCE
EVER SINCE YOU CAME INTO THIS TOWN.
YOU FEAR HIM, BUT
YOU RELY ON HIM.
BUT HE'S AFRAID...
AFRAID OF THE PRESENCE
OF A HIGHER POWER.
THE MAGDALENE.
I... I NEED TO KNOW.
YOU LIED BEFORE. YOU DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE
TO HOLD ME, YOU KNOW.
IF YOU BRING FORTH
WHAT IS WITHIN YOU,
WHAT YOU BRING
FORTH WILL SAVE YOU.
IF YOU DO NOT BRING
FORTH WHAT IS WITHIN YOU,
WHAT YOU DO NOT BRING
FORTH WILL DESTROY YOU.
IT'S HAPPENING. YOU CAN'T
SAY IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
YOU SAW. WHAT I SAW COULD
HAVE DOZENS OF EXPLANATIONS.
IT ONLY HAS ONE. SHE CAME
TO ME WHEN I NEEDED HER.
AND YOU'VE TAKEN
MR. FISHER AWAY,
AND THEY WON'T
LET ME TALK TO HIM.
HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO CARES ABOUT YOU, CLARE.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS.
YOU'VE ALL BEEN SHOWN,
BUT YOU DON'T BELIEVE.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THE
TRUTH ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE SEEN,
BUT WHATEVER IT IS,
WHATEVER IT MEANS,
YOU CAN'T LET IT KEEP YOU
APART FROM THE WORLD.
YOU WERE BORN TO LIVE HERE,
NOT IN SOME MYSTICAL
PLACE INSIDE YOUR MIND.
MAYBE YOU HAVE
BEEN GIVEN A GIFT.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT WE'RE ALL GIVEN
GIFTS EVERY DAY...
IN THINGS THAT WE MIGHT
THINK ARE JUST ORDINARY.
I'M NOT JORDAN.
WATTS. IT'S LARA.
NOW THAT I'M SURE
ABOUT WHO HE IS,
I CAN'T JUST WATCH THIS HAPPEN.
WE'VE WATCHED WORSE THINGS
HAPPEN WITH LESS REASON.
YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED HIM,
HAVEN'T YOU? I SPOKE TO HIM.
AND THE GIRL?
AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH, LARA, YOU JUST
HAVE TO TRUST WE'RE
DOIN' THE RIGHT THING.
I CAN'T, PETER.
IT WOULD BE MURDER.
WHERE'S FISHER?
- HE'S NOT IN JAIL?
- YOU DIDN'T BAIL HIM OUT?
WHY WOULD I? YOU TELL ME.
SOMETHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I GOTTA FIND HIM BEFORE IT DOES.
IT'S AFTER 3:00, SO CLARE'S PROBABLY
GONE TO THE PRAYER CIRCLE, RIGHT?
THAT'S WHERE FISHER
WILL GO, FOR THE SACRIFICE?
YOU CAN'T STOP IT.
Y-YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU HAVE KNOWN WHAT'S
GOING ON ALL ALONG.
WHY WERE YOU SENT?
WHO IS HE?
MY OWN HUSBAND COULDN'T TELL ME
THAT I WAS BEING STALKED BY A PSYCHOPATH.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU
CAN TELL ME WHY A
SIMILAR PSYCHOPATH IS
STALKING A LITTLE GIRL.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP DOESN'T
UNCOVER TRUTHS, LARA. IT BURIES THEM.
- MY RESPONSIBILITY...
- MY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE CHILD.
OURS IS TOO.

FISHER WAS AT ODDS WITH THE
GROUP, BUT HE WAS RIGHT TOO.
THERE HAD TO BE A SACRIFICE IN
ORDER TO SET CERTAIN EVENTS IN MOTION.
SO YOUR BELIEF IN
SOME TWISTED DESTINY...
ALLOWS YOU TO
JUSTIFY YOUR INACTION?
WHATEVER I DID, CATHERINE, NO MATTER
HOW I MANIPULATED CERTAIN EVENTS,
FISHER WAS GONNA DIE
IN THIS CLASSROOM TODAY.
THINK ABOUT IT.
WHAT SENT CLARE TO THAT
PRAYER CIRCLE TODAY? WAS IT FATE?
WAS IT DESTINY? OR WAS IT YOU?
SO FISHER'S DEATH LEAVES CLARE WITH
NO ONE TO GUIDE HER TOWARD HER DESTINY,
TOWARD REVEALING MARY
MAGDALENE'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MESSAGE. IT
WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MESSENGER.
FISHER WAS HERE FOR A REASON.
TRADITION... AND OUR
RESEARCH... CONFIRMS...
THAT DESCENDANTS OF
THE MEROVINGIAN DYNASTY...
THE FAMILY, WHOSE JOB IT IS
TO PROTECT THE HOLY GRAIL...
BEAR THIS MARK, LIKE BEN FISHER.
A THOUSAND YEARS AGO,
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP AND
THE FAMILY SHARED A VISION.
OVER TIME, THAT VISION CHANGED, INEVITABLY
PROMPTING A SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS.
THE SHROUD OF TURIN
WAS CARBON-DATED...
AND FOUND TO BE
FROM THE 14th CENTURY.
SOME BELIEVE...
THAT CLARE McKENNA IS THE
DESCENDANT OF JESUS CHRIST...
AND MARY MAGDALENE,
WHOM HE TOOK AS HIS APOSTLE,
HIS WITNESS... AND HIS WIFE.
WHO BELIEVES THAT?
THE FAMILY?
THE GROUP?
NOW SOMEONE HAS TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
TO RELEASE THIS INFORMATION TO THE WORLD.
IF YOU THINK THAT'S AN
EASY BURDEN TO LIVE WITH,
YOU ARE VERY, VERY WRONG.
BUT THIS IS WHAT I DO.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE.
WHY ARE YOU GIVING THIS TO ME?
MAYBE I DON'T TRUST THE
GROUP ENOUGH TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY SHOULD BE
HOLDING ALL THE CARDS.
I GUESS NOW IT'S YOUR DEAL.
HE GAVE THIS TO ME.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE.
HE SAID IT WAS A PICTURE
OF THE VIRGIN MARY...
FINDING OUT SHE'S
GONNA BE GOD'S MOTHER.
IT'S A PICTURE OF THE VERY
SECOND SHE UNDERSTANDS.
SHE KNOWS THAT
SHE'S VERY SPECIAL.
SHE KNOWS HER LIFE IS RUINED.
"SHE WILL COME IN A BOAT, LIKE
THE DAUGHTERS OF DANAUS...
AND THE VIRGIN OF
BOLOGNE-SUR-MER."
SHE FED THE SAINT, WHICH
INSPIRED THE WARRIOR MONKS...
TO DIG UP THE STABLE OF A THOUSAND
HORSES AND TAKE THEIR TREASURE...
TO HELP THE ANGELS
BUILD THE CHURCHES.
THEIR TREASURE RETURNED TO
BETHANIA, AND AT THE CUTTING OF THE ELM,
THEY ASKED THEMSELVES,
"WHOM DOES ONE SERVE BY
VIRTUE OF SERVING THE GRAIL?"
THUS THE SORCERER
KINGS BECOME THE FAMILY.
SHE SUFFERED EVERY
INDIGNITY FROM THEM,
AND SHE COULD NOT
RETURN TO THE FATHER.
IN A HUMAN BODY SHE
CAME TO BE CONFINED.
AND THUS, FROM AGE TO AGE,
SHE PASSED FROM BODY TO BODY,
INTO ONE FEMALE
BODY AFTER THE OTHER.
THUS, SHE BECAME THE LOST SHEEP.
I MADE THIS!
