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?

So, we're still early days

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 m*rder*d
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 k*lled Father Carol

and then he took his own life.

-My brother would never k*ll
anyone.

Nor would he k*ll 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.

Before your brother
fell into darkness,

-It was a demon,

that k*lled Father Carol.

Your brother had the strength of
mind to fight it,

tragically taking his own life

-So you saw my brother k*ll
himself?

-Indirectly.

-And what does that mean?

[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.

-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.

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?

-b*at 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 k*lled you.

Instead I kept you in a cage
to hurt no one.

-You k*lled Mom.

-I d*ed 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 f*cking 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!
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.

She must be purified, cleansed,
