Revelations (2005) s01e03 Episode Script

Hour Three

In a world dying of starvation, disease, and terminal bad temper, Why waste half a billion dollars to repair an old space telescope? /"for when the Sun is weary of heat and thou /art wearied with the futility of counsel, /"let now the astrologer, the stargazer, /"stand up and save thee from these things that will come upon thee.
Isaiah 47:13.
As we hurtle into the unknown, there is no better way of knowing what is coming than by looking at what has past.
/Your God has deserted you.
/The evidence abounds.
Doctor Massey? Doctor Massey? /That's what he thinking when he choked /the life from your child.
Daddy? Why are some people mean? /Two of his disciples were captured.
/As yet, we have no motive for the crime.
For those of you seeking easy answers, you should report down the hall to Bible class, where God created man out of mud, and satan, like some Santa Claus, is keeping track of who's been naughty and who's been nice.
/You'll be sorry, Richard.
- What else can you do to me? - You'd be surprised.
/Bag another satanist? /Make you feel better, Richard? /The Pain is a testament to the power of human love.
Doctor Massey? You're all right.
They gave you some pills.
/In space, we sense our own mortality.
And the true diabolical nature of time.
Endless, yet fleeting.
Nothing more precious, yet nothing more wasted.
/London, Prague, and Athens.
/A message sent by terrorists /to any nation who would host /the so-called Ecumenical Peace Council: /a gathering of world religious leaders /designed to ease the escalating turmoil /in the middle East, /a situation some have described /as a ticking global time bomb.
Do you remember? The Church.
- The Church.
- We were looking for the child and I'm afraid I led you in harm's way.
- We're lucky to be alive.
- I'm many things, but lucky isn't one of them.
I'm remembering that at the Church you decided - that this child wasn't Christ.
- I'm questioning it.
The Scriptures say that when Christ is on Earth, Satan will send false christs and false prophets to confuse and lead the faithful astray.
- Decoys.
- Yes.
But an indication that Christ is here on Earth and the Antichrist is soon to follow.
I am Dr.
Nikos.
Sorry it took me so long.
I had to find a private launch.
- I heard you were stirring up the natives yesterday.
- I'm getting a little stirred up by them too.
- The Miracle Child? - Have you seen him? No.
- Have you seen any of the healings? - I saw some of those, yes.
- And what did you think? - I think there's nothing stronger than the power of belief.
- But you are not a believer.
- I was raised greek orthodox by parents who believed when armageddon comes, Christ will literally descend on a cloud, surrounded by an army of a thousand men on white horses.
And the Antichrist will rise from the ocean in the form of a seven-headed dragon.
- But you did witness a healing.
- It happens on television every Sunday.
What you don't see, is their conditions return when the program is over.
- Psychosomatic healing.
- Mass hysteria.
Fueled by the reports of a delusional woman in Athens claiming to be a Virgin Mother looking for her child.
A woman in Athens looking for her child? She claimed someone took it from her at the ferry dock.
- She never got on the ferry.
- No, they brought her to my Hospital.
You examined her? A colleague of mine.
She was sent to a psychiatric home.
- And she was without her baby? - She probably heard about what was happening in Patmos, - and claimed it as her own.
- Do you know which psychiatric hospital? It really is of the utmost importance that we find her.
She's in an old facility in the italian countryside between Florence and Rome.
It's called Villa Corvaccio.
Thank you.
X-rays first.
And then I can make a call.
They've brought the FBI in on the search, but I think we're gonna beat them to it.
- You brought me a present.
- Untouched from the last time she used it.
They told her father they were detectives joining the search for little Olivia and they needed some personal items for the bloodhounds to help track her.
Not far from the truth.
Sweet Olivia.
Let us know when you're ready to go.
Where's Massey? He made it to patmos.
But he'll stop soon enough.
- And the Davenport devil? - Plays his last game of soccer tonight.
- By what method? - Inspired by the Garden of Eden.
Forbidden fruit.
Time for lights out.
- I don't open up your bedroom door whenever I feel like it? - It's late.
You've got school tomorrow.
Um, I'm not doing that anymore.
Not as long as that creep keeps following me around.
They call him my Nanny.
Funny, huh? - It's for our Peace of mind, Henry.
- Hawk.
I'm sorry.
I knew you as Henry-- Until she died.
Yeah, well, I'm Hawk now, okay? Call yourself whatever you want.
But get off the computer and go to bed.
Good night.
"For he will come like a thief in the night.
" /"For he will come like a thief" /"Thou beware.
" /"For he will come like a thief /in the night.
" Thou beware.
Put on a show.
He's watching.
"And the Moon will darken and turn to blood.
" /50 kilometres outside of Florence.
/If they'd wanted to hide her, /that's really the place to do it.
She doesn't speak except for a prayer.
When they brought her here, she had no identification.
She was filthy and wearing the clothes of a beggar.
We don't know her name.
We've tried many, but she will respond to Mary.
But that's just her delusional name.
And we discourage the staff from using it.
- Is this a Charity Hospital? - I wish it were so.
- We will struggle to keep the lease.
- Who supports her here? She is a great favorite of ours.
So pure of heart, one could almost believe her.
I'll have to lock it behind you, but someone will be out here waiting for you to knock.
- Is that necessary? - She tries to escape.
- To where? - To find her son.
Jesus.
Anna Teresa? Anna Teresa? You know me.
You said my name.
We've been looking for you.
My name is sister Josepha.
And this is Dr.
Massey.
We're here to help you.
Do you know where they have taken him? My child? - I hear him cry for me in my dreams.
- Who has taken him? Who took your child? Priests.
Hooded priests.
He cried for me when they took him from me.
Reached out to me when they took me away.
Where did they take him? On the boat.
One of them.
The other two took me to a-- It was night.
When I told them God is his father, they beat me.
I do not lie before God.
I am a Virgin.
And they say I am a whore.
Where is my Child? Please give me my child.
Mother Josepha No one will believe me.
God has told me this.
How has God told you this? With his love.
When he came to me in the light, a golden light that awakened me, and said, "she who has suffered will bear His child, "for she can stand the suffering that will follow.
" But I cannot.
I have failed him.
No, you can.
You can.
You are because you have found someone who believes you.
We both believe you.
Anna, how did you come here to Corvaccio? After I was beaten, I went back to the dock to find my baby.
The police came and took me first to a hospital in Athens, then to the police station.
- A gentle Priest rescued me.
- Did the Priest mention his name? He told me it is best I not know.
But I heard the police call him Father Tassone.
Did you hear a first name? Is there anything else you can tell us? Tassone, what is that? Is that, uh-- italian.
He's smaller than you.
Very gentle, but brave.
Very helpful, thank you.
We will be back for you.
My lips to God's ear.
We will be back.
So you are the first to believe me.
You are the first I will believe.
Thank you.
God has brought you to me.
I know this.
I see his truth in your eyes.
So, she was dismissed from the Abby.
She disappears, has the baby, and then turns up at the vatican.
That's what Cardinal Laveigh's report said.
They turn her away.
She's followed by monks, somebody.
And they take the baby and try to intimidate her into denying that she's a Virgin Mother.
- What do you think? - What do you think? Well, I believe her.
I hope we can find that baby.
Rubio, stop looking for an Anna Teresa.
Start looking for a Father Tassone.
Italian.
No first name.
I'll call you from Rome.
Do you need an appointment to get into the Vatican? Uh, Hey, Benjamin, can you catch up here for a sec? Yeah.
What's up? No one wants to hang out with me because of you, we might as well hang together, right? I'd like that, Henry.
So how did you get into this line fo work? Is it interesting? What do you got in here, man? Bricks? Take a look.
I got a Bag of chips in there if you want to break them out.
This is good.
Damn it, Henry! What are you trying to prove, Henry?! Hey.
Come on.
Henry! Ah, lovely boy.
You must kiss me.
I cannot kiss first.
I lied.
- Are you a Virgin? - Why? It's important to me.
Well, okay, yeah.
- No lie? - No lie.
I love that.
Henry! Compel.
I've had it with you.
I'm bringing you home.
And that is it for me.
Okay, okay, I give up.
You win.
Henry! Come on.
Let's jump.
That's insane.
We can do this.
Look.
I don't know.
Him or me? Freedom or oppression? Choose.
Henry! - I can't believe we just did this.
- I can.
/When I first came here, /I thought this was actually Heaven.
And then you became the rebel.
The naughtiest children are the ones most in need of approval.
- Oh, maybe the secret favorite.
- No, not me.
I'm dangerously close to excommunication.
I somehow think you'd survive.
No, actually, you're wrong.
I've been wearing this since I was a teenager.
And I can't imagine being without it.
It would be like, um - Like Superman without his cape.
- Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
Kent Clark.
Uh, Clark Kent.
Clark--whichever.
Hi, Miriam, it's Norah Webber.
Is Henry there? Yes.
Please, if you do Ask him to call home right away.
I've called everyone he knows.
Jennifer cobey saw him after school walking up Orchard road with the bodyguard right beside him.
Where the Hell's the bodyguard now? He's supposed to call If something goes wrong.
They haven't heard from him either.
Okay, I'm calling the police.
Oh, this can't be.
- We're here.
- We're where? Hey! Good to see you, man.
I heard a lot about you.
I can't wait to get started.
Who are you? We're your friends.
Ogden and Tulia.
She didn't mention us? - I think I should be going home now.
- We're here to take you home.
I'll hitch.
Somebody help! I forgot to say don't shout.
Do what you're told, okay? We don't want a repeat of what happened to your sister.
Discipline starts in the home, Henry.
Welcome home.
Wish you didn't have to stay a virgin.
That'd have been fun on the train.
She's a pistol, isn't she? /We've got him.
Sister Josepha.
.
Cardinal laveigh, it's very good of you to see us at such short notice.
An urgent telephone call from sister Jo, one wonders what it could be.
It's about the Miracle Child.
So you went to Patmos.
I'm not at all surprised.
- You must be Dr.
Massey.
- How do you do? And how is it you were enticed into joining sister Jo in this wild goose chase? - Are we chasing after something that isn't there? - Truth is always there.
The truth of the baby Jesus returned to Earth unknown to any but sister Josepha who always seems to know what no one else does.
"To know what one does not know is the beginning of wisdom.
" Gautama Buddha.
Dead philosophers are grateful to sister Jo.
Did you find any evidence? - Did you? - we're not so easily convinced.
Doubt what you hear, trust what you see.
The Patmos child was a foundling, born out of wedlock to a mother afraid to tell the truth, who set it on a piece of driftwood out to sea.
70 Miles out to sea.
Near the site of the sunken ferry.
Folk tales.
- The photograph? - Doctored.
- To what end? - To raise money for the Church.
They charge 200 euros to see it.
Poor souls Standing in line with their life savings in their hands.
- No wonder someone burned it down.
- Do you know a Father Tassone? The woman who claims she was the Virgin Mother came here for help, and she and her child were turned away.
She was followed by three hooded priests.
Maybe they were thugs in priests' robes, but they tto beat her into silence.
As I said, doubt what you hear, trust what you see.
We saw the woman.
And when they'd finished with her, father tassone rescued her and took her to a mental institution, where she's being maintained by an unknown benefactor.
May I know the name of this institution? - So, you're not the benefactor? - Certainly not.
So, did the Church send the three priests after her, then? - We should speak alone.
- About? Your schoolgirl imagination and reckless behavior.
You believe we're at the end of days? So do many.
But you do no Service to the Church.
Because your manner frightens people.
They think you're insane, and, frankly, so do I for making accusations such as this.
Without Torvald Eklind shielding you, you'd be excommunicated.
Do you have anything to say? May God Grant him a long life, and you as well, so that you shall have to deal with me until the end of your days.
- Duncan, call them a car.
- No need.
Thank you for your time.
Why would the Vatican be complicit in any of this? - What would they have to gain? - To gain custody of the child at a time when the Church is losing its power.
What greater power could it have than the power of Christ? Trust me, If they have him, they won't let anything get in the way of that.
Who is that? Someone who wants us out of Rome.
I think you're just too easy a target.
It's the outfit.
Come on.
- Time for Clark Kent.
- What? Here.
Why don't you try these on? And this.
Here.
Here's some money.
That should cover it.
Are you ready? Yes.
We should go.
There's taxis over there.
Why didn't I kill him? Wh-what's happened? Hawk's missing.
Lucy's stepbrother.
They got him.
Oh, no He's gone.
Feel like pizza, Samaael? - That's not my name.
- Not smart, Sam.
Things happen to chosen children who insist on using their Christian names.
Like little hecate who insisted her name was Lucy.
I believe the last thing she said was, "That's not my name.
" /for less than 24 hours /wouldn't normally draw this type of attention.
/The difference being, /this is the stepbrother of Lucinda Massey, /whose death at the hands of satanists /made headlines worldwide.
/And whose alleged killer is being imprisoned /nearby awaiting trial.
/Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you've enjoyed your flight.
/We will land in Boston in about 15 minutes.
- Pañstwo Massey? - Montafiore.
- Mr.
And Mrs.
Massey? - Montafiore.
Sorry, I-I saw the wedding ring.
Can I get you anything else before we land? No, I'm fine.
Thank you.
May I ask you something? Have you given up the search? - Because If you have, they've won.
- It's up to me to fight this battle? May I read? Book of Isaiah.
"When the Sun is weary of heat", Which means when the world is ending, "and thou art weary of counsel",which means when all efforts to save it have failed, "then turneth to the stargazer, the astrologer, "to save you from these things that befall you.
" Is it up to you to fight this battle? Ask your daughter, who traveled from another world to beg you.
And ask Hawk, who is still in their hands, whether he would want you to turn your back on this.
And ask God.
Because it is He who has chosen you.
Get sister Delise.
- Tom, it's Richard.
/- Richard.
We got a little good news.
I'm praying that it's true.
Security company got a message from the guard calling to say that he was quitting.
/Henry kneed him in the groin' and ran away.
Let's hope and pray he's a runaway.
//I came back to help.
And I'm coming over.
Hey, devil boy! - Tom.
- Richard, not a good idea.
Get the Warden.
He's pulling some crap again.
Check her pulse.
Oh, hello, Richard.
Did you find the Christ Child yet? 'Cause we're gonna need him with all the Hell you've brought to my door.
I came to help, Norah, - if you'll let me.
- How? Turn back the clock? Make some different decisions? He told you he'd get even.
You brought him back anyway.
I told you I didn't want you to take Lucy for the summer, but you took her anyway.
If your mom's too strict, come to my house.
We'll have a great time.
And this.
Found this in his drawer.
/Hear my words and hear me well.
/Gotta go.
/Gotta run.
/I'm late to Hell.
One way or the other, they got him.
- What's happening? - Hard to tell.
Blood pressure's down to 70 over 40.
He hasn't responded to the stimulant, which usually takes immediate effect.
Meditation? If he is, he's heading into dangerous territory.
- What possible reason? - Kill himself? Become a Martyr? Get you to transfer him to a Hospital with less security? I'm not inclined to do that.
This was in his mouth.
And this in his hands.
Looks like voodoo stuff.
37 36 - Her fever started when? - One hour, maybe.
Blood pressure, respiration-- everything started going up at once.
There's no infection.
Her urine's clear.
Mother, I don't know what's driving this.
I don't like sitting here watching this.
Can you shoot him up again? 35 - Heartbeat 159 160.
- 34 29 28 - Temperature 104 and climbing.
- Ice.
How's our Supply? - Give me a blanket.
- Sister, ice! - Quickly.
- His lips are turning blue.
Look at the eyes.
Temperature 104.
3.
- He's in a dream state.
- Let's get a cold bath.
Is that a seizure? - Call transport.
- Medics! Alcohol? It's not helping.
He's in stasis.
Pulse is increasing.
- Her heart rate's slowing.
- Thank God.
She's cooling down.
Seems like it's over.
Well, the question is what the Hell was it all about? CAPTURED BY: SUBS & SYNCHRO: SliderOh :)
