[BOTH GRUNTING]

[AVA YELLS] Ah!

[GASPS]

That's right. You

bailed on your training.

You can't phase through

the Cruciform Sword.

[AVA PANTING]

Are we bonding now?

- [SLICES]

- [AVA] Ow!

[AVA GROANING]

[LILITH] You brought this on yourself.

- [AVA MOANS]

- [LILITH GRUNTS]

- The hell is wrong with you?

- Stay out of this, Mary.

Back up.

Where do you think you're going?

You two seem like you

have stuff to figure out.

- I'll be with you in a minute.

- You're making a mistake.

Not as big a mistake as letting you

and Duretti rip the Halo out of her.

Let's go.

What are you doing? Move! [GRUNTING]

- [g*n CLICKING]

- [WOMEN GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

- [MARY] sh*t

- [LILITH] Great.

[SHIP HORN BLARES]

[AVA'S VOICE] Of course he left me.

I would've left me, too.

I'm just a weird, formerly dead orphan.

[JC] Hey.

Hey.

Oh. Nice jacket.

Oh, yeah, I'm trying something new.

Can we, like, go now?

- Something's up. What is it?

- [BEEPING, WHIRRING]

There may or may not be people

following me right now, so

Most likely "may".

Oh, I scoped the place.

I don't think Jillian Salvius has

anyone here looking for us.

[AVA] Yeah, I'm not worried

about them right now.

What? You mean other

people are after you?

[AVA] Yeah.

Did you buy tickets?

Yeah.

Did you have to show ID?

I showed them an ID.

Come on. There's no

way they can track us.

Even if they do, check it out.

This boat crosses to Morocco,

then comes back to a different

port closer to Portugal.

So, we hide out on the ferry,

ride it back, then get to Lisbon.

And whoever's following you thinks

you got off the boat in Africa.

Boom.

I like that plan.

[BEEPING, WHIRRING]

She's not here.

No sh*t.

Where are you?

[SHIP HORN BLARING]

[BOTH PANTING]

[SIGHS]

What you looking at me for?

[SHIP HORN BLARING]

[WHOOSHING]

[WOMAN SINGING LITURGICAL MUSIC]

[SNARL GRINDING]

[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[KRISTIAN] Hmm.

The girl got away.

[SIGHS] The Church.

I sent your best men, as you asked.

Well, apparently, not best enough.

Send more.

I make a better adviser

than I do a general.

Right now, I need you to

do both and find the girl.

Or what I'm about to do here

could blow up in our faces.

- [CAMERAS CLICKING]

- [REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Human history is marked

by tectonic shifts.

Not only in the way people live,

but in the way we perceive

the world and its limits.

The Enlightenment gave us science,

the razor by which we were able

to separate the spiritual

realm from reality.

I am here to announce we are

entering a new Era of Enlightenment.

And I propose a new question.

What if what we perceived as

a razor is, in fact, a bridge?

The Ark is that bridge.

A quantum portal to another realm.

For the first time,

human beings will be able to

travel beyond this universe.

- [CROWD CHATTERING]

- [WOMAN] What is this bridge, please?

Before you ask, I can't tell you

what lies on the other side,

but I'll tell you what I believe.

I believe there is an afterlife,

but it's not like what they talk

about in books and scripture.

God, or whatever you believe

created us, gave us free will:

the ability to think,

construct, and invent.

And He gave us Divinium,

this extraordinary conductive metal,

which has given life to my work.

What if God provided us with the tools

to find our own way to a realm

where death doesn't exist?

- [CAMERAS CLICKING]

- [WOMAN] What exactly is Divinium?

Some will call my work blasphemy.

They will do everything in their power

to destroy the innovations that

stand to disrupt the foundations

on which the Church

and its power are built.

But to deny humanity

access to this bridge,

as opposed to vague

promises of ascendance,

that would be the true blasphemy.

Are you suggesting that the Church

may take action against you?

They already have.

[BEEPS]

[REPORTERS GASPING, MURMURING]

I call upon the Vatican to

cease all hostile operations.

I am not an enemy.

In fact, I have some very

good news for them:

Heaven does exist,

because I discovered a gateway to it.

- Thank you.

- [REPORTERS CLAMORING]

[WOMAN] Could you tell us a little bit

more about the substance, please?

Jillian Salvius just declared open w*r

on the Vatican at a press conference.

[BEATRICE] It wasn't unprovoked.

[VINCENT] Mind yourself, Sister.

[BELL TOLLING]

The Sister is right.

We must prepare for retaliation.

w*r can't be the answer.

We have the Shield. She can't

complete her machine without it.

[DURETTI] The first

order of business, then,

is to secure the Shield of Faith,

and prevent her from finishing her work.

Is it possible? What she

claims the machine can do?

There is only one path to

Heaven: by the grace of God.

If she really has built a bridge,

I assure you, it leads directly to Hell.

We are squabbling over armor

when the Halo is still out there.

This isn't just a battle over metal

or ideology.

This is the battle for

the soul of humanity.

Sister Beatrice we will

send the Shield of Faith

to the Vatican for safekeeping.

Your Eminence, it will be safe here.

The Sister Warriors have been entrusted

with the care of Divinium for centuries.

[DURETTI] This isn't up for debate.

[DURETTI] You need to make a decision.

Either get in line or be

removed from your position.

[DISTANT CHATTER ECHOING OVER P.A.]

[WATER RUNNING]

[SIGHS]

[AVA'S VOICE] It's over.

I'm finally free.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Hey, it's me.

Oh, hi. Come in. No one's here.

Coast is clear.

- Why do you need a T-shirt?

- [AVA] Thanks.

Again?

Whose blood is that?

It's mine, but everything's

fine, really. It's okay.

Yeah, except your shirt

is covered in blood

and people are chasing you.

[SIGHS] Can we grab

a drink or something?

Hey, you can trust me.

All I'm asking for is an explanation.

Yeah, then we'll

definitely need a drink.

You and I aren't finished.

Touch me again and we will be.

- You let her get away.

- While protecting her from you.

I'm doing my job.

More than I can say for you.

Well, then, let's get this straight.

I don't trust you. No,

I don't even like you.

You think 'cause you were groomed

for the Halo, it's your God-given right.

Don't expect me to feel

bad about what I'm doing.

We need a trained Warrior Nun

who will take orders

and fulfill our mission.

Well, she'll figure it out.

And what's your plan?

[MOTORCYCLE REVVING]

- [JC] Just drink.

- [AVA LAUGHS]

[BOTH EXHALE]

[JC] All right.

Why are people after you?

[SIGHS]

I, um

I took something that

doesn't belong to me.

That's all?

I mean, the people who want

it back are, like, really pissed.

What was it?

[AVA] A ring.

A very weird, old ring.

- [JC] Can I see it?

- No.

No. I'm hiding it.

There's something else

you're not telling me.

[AVA'S VOICE] I am so screwed.

I'm gonna have to come clean.

- You've been shady about your past.

- He knows.

About who you are. Where you came

from. I know almost nothing about

I spent my life in an orphanage. Okay?

[AVA'S VOICE] Playing the sympathy card.

I am officially a d*ck.

I was in a car accident.

I survived, but my mom didn't.

How old were you when it happened?

Seven.

My father was never in the

picture, so I was alone.

After the hospital, they

took me to this orphanage,

where I've spent almost every day since.

The day we met was actually

the first day I walked.

Out of there, I mean.

Well, it all makes sense now.

What does?

That probably came off wrong,

but you not wanting to

talk about your past.

The fact that everything

feels like the first time.

It's not exactly a thing you

would share on a first date.

Oh.

Is that what it was? [CHUCKLES]

[JC LAUGHS]

Figure of speech.

But, maybe?

I don't know. Can we just

forget that I just said that

and have fun and just

Exist.

Por favor.

[IN SPANISH] Two.

[LIQUID POURS]

Cheers.

Ah.

- [JC] Mm.

- [CHUCKLES]

[JC LAUGHS]

[NUNS PANTING, HUFFING]

[VINCENT] I hope you're here

with an update on the Halo.

[BEATRICE] No news on Ava yet,

but Mary is persistent.

I'm sorry.

They're taking the Shield.

Father, may I speak freely?

Why are you so uneasy

about releasing the

Shield to His Eminence?

I'm concerned that Cardinal

Duretti is dividing us.

Pushing us away from our mission.

All this about the Shield of

Faith and Jillian Salvius.

He would have us direct

all our efforts against her,

if he had his way.

But aren't we supposed to trust in

the Church and the hierarchy of command?

Cardinal Duretti is not our Church.

I apologize. That

sounded like resentment.

I used to be impetuous

when I was your age.

[LAUGHS]

A trait that cost me everything

before I found this calling.

Best not to stray back to old habits.

It's okay, Sister. It's

I think it's because

everything is different now.

Sister Shannon, dead.

The Halo chose Ava.

And Cardinal Duretti

taking over from you.

[VINCENT CHUCKLES] Hmm.

My ego can handle Duretti.

It's my conscience that might

get the better of me, Sister.

Well, I had better go.

[BELL TOLLING]

[BEATRICE] The Shield is ready

for transport, Your Eminence.

Very good.

[BEATRICE] If there's nothing else

Actually, Sister Beatrice, a word.

I understand you graduated

top of your class

from the most prestigious

boarding school in Switzerland.

Spent your free time training

in aikido, kendo, and archery.

You've read my dossier.

I, for one, thought "loner"

was a judgmental term

for an official assessment.

Well, think of it as you had more time

to prepare for whatever

life would throw your way.

And less time to actually enjoy it.

Friends come and go,

but your abilities

I am impressed by how

you fought your way

through Arq-Tech to retrieve the Shield.

We could use more

Sister Warriors like you.

You are too kind, Your Eminence.

Don't think it goes unnoticed,

especially in this time of turmoil.

Turmoil, sir?

Mot juste, wouldn't you agree?

There have been changes, of course.

Oh, and more changes to come.

Which is why my role here has evolved.

The OCS needs Sister

Warriors that can adapt.

And remain loyal.

Exactly right.

Loyalty is key.

And you strike me as

someone who is dedicated

to supporting the chain of command.

- Without question.

- Excellent.

[BEATRICE] As our chain

of command rises to God,

I believe He knows He

has my full support.

Allow me to be forthright.

In the challenging days ahead,

I would like to know that I can

count on you to remain faithful

to the will of the Church.

You may always count

on me to remain faithful.

To God.

[JC LAUGHING] Here you go.

[AVA] Ooh!

[JC] Oh, you're drunk.

You your face is

drunk, so [SNICKERS]

- My face is drunk?

- Yeah. [LAUGHS]

Your face is drunk.

[JC SCOFFS] How can a face be drunk?

[AVA] Oh, my God.

Wow.

- Look at that.

- [JC] It's beautiful.

Oh, hey.

I picked these up.

How are postcards

still a thing? [LAUGHS]

No. They're they're for figuring out

where we're going

after we get to Lisbon.

I thought you used gum for that.

Yeah.

It's it's the same concept.

[CHUCKLES]

Pick one.

Mmm

[GASPS]

Cologne.

I read oh, I read walking along

the Rhine is beautiful at night.

Cologne is very cool.

They got the most clubs and

pubs per capita in Germany.

Oh, we tried to hit them

all, but we failed miserably.

[LAUGHS] It was epic.

Well, I don't want to go

someplace you've already been.

That's boring.

[LAUGHING] Okay.

Oh.

Standing in the middle of the

Grand-Place would be amazing.

Yeah.

What?

It's it's just it's actually

pretty boring in Bru in Brussels.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Which ones haven't you been to?

Come on. Seriously?

What about you?

[LAUGHS]

I only have places

I've never been, so

Okay, let's change that. Just pick one.

Any one.

I want to swim this f*cking place.

Yeah. The Blue Grotto is amazing.

Once you have That's

Well, that's where we're going then.

- Yes.

- Yes.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- [MARY] All right. Nice work.

- [MAN SPEAKS SPANISH]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

How'd you get here so fast?

Helicopter.

So predictable.

[LILITH] You?

Speedboat.

- Interesting choice.

- [MARY] Hmm.

Don't make me put you down, Lily.

Why are you protecting her?

She's no one.

[MARY] I'm just doing what I was told.

You've never cared about orders.

There's something else.

You see something in her.

I'm not letting you hurt her.

[MARY GRUNTING] Ooh! Oh!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH PANTING]

- [LILITH] We used to be friends.

- No.

You're the one who taught

me how to sh**t, remember?

And you know when we

stopped being friends?

When Shannon got the

Halo and you didn't.

You changed that day.

You didn't think she deserved it, or

Ava. No one deserves it but you.

You know my family, how I was raised.

- Don't try to

- You know I didn't have a choice.

Do not try to get sympathy from me

because you're too much of a coward

to stand up to your

mommy and your daddy.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[MARY WAILS]

[SCREAMS]

[AVA'S VOICE] God, he's so hot.

[SIGHS] The longer I wait to

come clean about the Halo,

- the worse it's gonna be.

- What?

Nothing.

[JC] Okay.

[AVA'S VOICE] I'm an embarrassment.

- [JC] I wish I was you.

- [DISTANT SHIP HORN BLARING]

[SCOFFS] Shut up.

No, seriously.

What? You wish you'd been alone,

stuck in a bed your entire life?

Uh, no. I meant free, you know?

Able to do whatever you want.

Nothing weighing you down.

Seeing everything for the first time.

I mean, how does that even feel like?

It's like

Do you feel that?

Yeah, it's nice.

There's this tingling sensation.

It feels good, but there also this

Rush.

Yeah.

Like your body doesn't

know what to make of it.

That's what it feels like

but with everything.

[GIGGLES]

[GATE SLAMS]

Oh, we need to get to the bathroom.

We do. We do?

To hide.

Otherwise, we'll have

to get off the boat.

- Right.

- [BOTH] Yeah.

Right, right, right. Let's go.

[ALERT DINGS]

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER P.A.]

Now what the f

Doubling back.

Smart girl.

[MARY] Excuse me.

[JC SIGHS] Here.

Inside.

[BOTH PANTING]

[SHIP HORN BLARING FAINTLY]

[JC] I think we're in luck.

They're not checking.

You mentioned something earlier

about being stuck in a bed.

What did you mean by that?

[AVA] What?

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS CLACKING]

I like the stories.

But I take it you're not

here for Bible study.

[VINCENT] We need to end

this w*r before it begins.

The Church doesn't say you can't drink.

[VINCENT] Twelve years, six months,

and four days tell me I shouldn't.

What are you offering?

[VINCENT] The Shield of Faith.

It's being transported, and

I can tell you how to get it.

[JILLIAN] And in exchange?

I'm not asking you to stop

building your machine.

Simply stand down in your

fight against the Church.

And?

And I want you to back off of the girl.

So

there is something special about her.

I tell you this at great risk,

because I feel you need to know.

[SIGHS]

It's not hyperbole.

We are in a w*r against evil.

And the Order of the Cruciform

Sword is charged to stop it.

Something about the Holy Armor grants

you the power to battle demons.

The Church can't

protect all its secrets.

Still, I don't understand

the girl's part in all of this.

She's essential to our mission.

A mission she seems to want no part of.

Dr. Salvius, we can't be at w*r

with each other and with Hell.

Science tells us there are forces

in our world we have yet to understand.

But Hell,

Hell is a construct designed by a group

of men to subjugate the masses,

particularly women.

You know what's at stake.

What could possibly be so important

you're willing to thr*aten

the fate of the world?

The Church sells dreams.

It's time for someone to sell reality.

[VINCENT CLEARS THROAT]

How can you know I'll hold

up my end of the bargain?

He wouldn't lead me astray.

[BOTH GRUNTING, BELLOWING]

[MARY] Ah! sh*t! Ah!

[GRUNTS] Wait!

Let me get Ava off this boat,

and we'll go back to together.

We'll settle our differences then.

You're letting your emotions get in

the way of what you know is right.

Just because you let Shannon die

doesn't mean you have to

keep trying to save this one.

[MARY BELLOWING]

She'll go back with me!

that you now have a

Don't worry.

You'll always be my first.

I don't understand how you can

just give up the search for the girl.

Don't be naive.

Our mission remains unchanged.

But the second he finds

out you're still looking,

you've lost your mole.

I've got the Shield and

all the information I need

out of Father Vincent.

What's that?

The Church is in disarray.

[BEEPING, WHIRRING]

Hi, Mommy.

- Hi, sweetie.

- [WHIRRING]

It's very beautiful.

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

Have you talked to the angels today?

What'd they say?

That it's almost time.

Yes, darling.

It is.

[SIGHS]

[AVA'S VOICE] Why can't I just tell him?

Oh, right.

Because the second I say I'm a

formerly dead orphan quadriplegic

who's now the Halo-Bearer for a

secret sect of demon-hunting nuns,

he's gone.

[GROANS] I just called

myself the Halo-Bearer.

I need another drink.

Stop avoiding it.

No more lying.

Go back there and tell him the truth.

Trust him.

- No, no, no, no

- Before you blow up

I'm swimming in the Blue Grotto!

- I am not here to hurt you.

- Just to ruin my life then.

What, with him?

Does he know what you are?

As a matter of fact, I was just

about to tell him everything.

So you just stopped serious

personal growth from happening.

Great. You can save some of

that for when we get back.

Let me go!

If you don't come with me

now, Lilith will be here.

[IN SPANISH] Understand?

No matter where I go, you

Papist assholes always show up

and try to tell me what to do.

Well, you can't keep running away.

I didn't ask for this.

Let me help you.

I can help you, Ava.

I don't want your help.

Go say your goodbyes.

I'll at least give you that.

We need to go.

We're docking. We just need to go.

All right.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Where's the girl?

Enough. Will you just give her a minute?

- You've gotten soft.

- And you've gotten obsessed.

And you wonder every day

why you never got the Halo.

It's eating at you, right?

You are a better warrior

than Shannon ever was.

You are faster, stronger, smarter.

But you're no leader.

Shannon was, because

she had heart. You don't.

Just give her a chance to choose.

You know what it's like

to not have a choice.

She is not going anywhere.

She'll be back if she

Goddamnit, Ava!

- [JC] Who are we being chased by?

- [AVA] Nuns.

[JC] Sorry!

- Why are we running away from nuns?

- [AVA] I'll explain later!

[GUARD, IN SPANISH] Stop! Stop! Stop!

[MARY, IN SPANISH] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

Oh, f*ck.

It's a dead end.

I don't want to do this.

- JC.

- No.

I need to know what's

happening right now.

- All right. I'm out.

- [AVA] No. No.

I need to talk to your girlfriend.

Look, Sister.

I don't know what you want

from her, and I don't care,

[LILITH] Most impressive.

- Get off!

- No!

- You're done running.

- Get the f*ck off me, Lilith!

[LILITH] People want to live

their lives, just like you, Ava!

If you're not willing to fight for them,

you need to give back the Halo!

Don't push me.

The Halo didn't give you

a second chance at life.

It gave you a purpose.

And you can't even appreciate that.
