Warrior Nun (2020) s01e09 Episode Script

[BELL TOLLING]
I'm not breaking any
rules by wearing this
and not taking the vows, right?
I can guarantee you're not.
Good.
Good. Just to know.
Just in case.
[CAMILA CHUCKLES]

[MURMURING IN ITALIAN]
[BEATRICE] Don't fidget.
Nuns don't fidget.
Sorry.
Bad habit.
[MARY GROANS] I should
shoot you for that.
[AVA] You can't shoot me.
I'm your leader.
This is me leading you.
Help a sister out here?
Vatican offices and residences.
Far enough from St. Peter's
and the conclave chapel.
It should be relatively quiet.
Once you are inside,
no more using the Halo.
You must conserve your power.
[MARY] She knows.
[VINCENT] Please, just
stop drawing attention.
Do your best to act like a nun.
- Bless you, my child.
- [VINCENT SIGHS]
Too far.
This way, Sister.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Stay behind me. We only
have five feet of blind spot.

Now.
Kristian said two Swiss Guards
will be stationed up ahead.
Don't be fooled by their clown
suits. These guys are lethal.
Our only advantage is stealth.

The last security check-in
was four minutes ago.
[VINCENT] That gives us 26 minutes
until we need to be done and gone.
Can you pull up our route?
Hold, please.
[KEYS TAPPING]
Here we go.
According to Mr. Schaefer's specs,
we'll meet with the least
interference on this route.
I'll be a step ahead
of you the whole way,
looping the cameras and
keeping you invisible.
And those stairs, that's
where I break off?
[BEATRICE] Correct. While
you go for the basilica,
we'll be two floors below
you in the grottoes.
That's also where I lose you guys.
No security cams down in the Necropolis.
But you'll keep the stairwell
and the grotto spoofed
so that Mary can get back to us.
Down to 25 minutes.
Once we find the vault,
I'll be nine minutes, tops.
Remember how tight I
got it during training?
One minute to phase
in and grab the bones.
Seven minutes to recharge the Halo.
- And one more minute to phase out.
- Then we run like hell.
You cover us back through the maze,
and Ava will destroy the bones
once we get outta Dodge.
Hey.
Let me borrow your ring.
And catch heat from
Beatrice? I don't think so.
Come on. I want to be as badass as you.
Never gonna happen.
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
[KRISTIAN SIGHS]
I know, she's prone to
wander the halls a little, but
she's here as my guest.
There's no need for concern.
Just give it another second.
Now, does that remind you of
anything we've seen before?
The day the lab was destroyed.
[KRISTIAN] Exactly.
[BEEPS]
Where is she now?
[DEVICE HISSES]
[AVA GRUNTS]
[MEN GRUNTING]
[BEATRICE GRUNTING]
[MAN GRUNTING] Oh!
[MARY AND MAN GRUNT]
What?
He's out. That was the plan.
The plan was to use the rings to
ensure he stays safely unconscious
until we're done.
There's no room for improvisation.
What were you thinking?
You're gonna need every bit of the
Halo's power to get into the crypt.
I specifically didn't use the Halo.
I know that's what you think
but the Halo's healing you.
Whether you mean to
or not, you're using it.
I just want to help.
What kind of a leader
doesn't pull her own weight?
The one that puts the mission
above everything else.
If you're not at full strength
when we get to the tomb,
all of this will have been for nothing.
There's only one thing
you need to do right now.
What?
Trust your team.
Can you?
Yeah.
Okay.
Lilith.
I'm Dr. Salvius. Jillian. We
met when you first arrived.
I'd like to run a few tests.
See if we can get you back
on the road to recovery.
I'm feeling much better, actually.
Nettle tea.
Wonderful, but you're
still very chilled.
I'd like to get you back on fluids.
I'm good.
Really.
I was just waiting for
my friends to get back,
but I can wait somewhere else.
Your friends left you in my care because
they're worried about your health.
Please stay and rest.
All right?
[KRISTIAN CLEARS THROAT]
- Can I borrow you for a second?
- Excuse me.
- [KRISTIAN] Any progress?
- No, not yet.
What is it, Kristian?
Well, um, Michael is asking for you.
[JILLIAN] Thank you. I'll go see him
but I have to check something first.
Will you make sure she stays here?
[KRISTIAN] Of course.
[MARY] All right, this is me.
I have a feeling you know how to use it.
Thank you.
As soon as I reach the
top, I'm bringing the noise.
- [BEATRICE] We'll be in place.
- I know.
[GUN CLICKS]
[MARY] Trust your instincts.
As long as they tell you to listen
to everything Beatrice says.
You got this
badass.
Come on.

[PEN CLATTERS]
They're in the grottoes.
[SPEAKS ITALIAN]
[IN ITALIAN] I call as my
witness Christ the Lord,
he who will judge me.
May the vote that I now cast be
for he, who, according to God,
is the rightful one to be elected.
You okay?
I'm just realizing that I'm
not a big fan of cemeteries.
What with the deaths and all.
It just hits a little too close to home.
Well, you're not exactly in luck.
Necropolis literally
means City of the Dead.
[WOMAN] How much should we bring?
All of it.
This time, when the
Warrior Bitch goes down,
she stays down.
[MACHINES WHIRRING]
[CLICKS]
[CLATTERS FAINTLY]
You're a conundrum.
[CRACKLING]
[JILLIAN GASPS]
A living conundrum.
What else can you heal from?

[FOOTSTEPS CLOMPING]
[VINCENT] We must be getting close.
[BEATRICE] Around that
corner and another 30 meters.
[VINCENT] I trust you brought
everything we may need.
[BEATRICE] Of course.
- [WHIRS, CLUNKS]
- [AVA GASPS]
- Divinium. Hide.
- Oh, fuck!
They're gunning for
you. Stay out of sight.
[AVA] Okay.

My team's getting their ass kicked.
Fuck!

- Trust. Trust. Trust. Trust. Fuck.
[PANTING]
Okay.
Hi. Bye.
[WHOOSHES, CLANGS]
You're on the wrong side
of this war, Mother.
Sounds like the Cardinal talking.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GASPS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
[CRIMSON GROANS]
[GRUNTING]
Get her out of here.
[SUPERION] Let's go.
[MAN SPEAKS ITALIAN]
Yeah, I'll be gone before you know it.
[MARY SPEAKS ITALIAN]
[MAN SPEAKS ITALIAN]
don't want to do that.
[MARY SPEAKS ITALIAN]

[MAN COUGHING]
Everybody's gotta be a hero.
[AVA] Listen, I know
you think I'm hiding
while my friends are
fighting for their lives,
but what you don't
know is that this is me
fighting for something
bigger than myself.
So, you really You should be pleased.
I'll take your word for it.
I expect they'll be back
in action momentarily.
Stay behind me.
As long as the Cardinal's coven
have Divinium, the Halo is at risk.
What
You were a Warrior Nun.
Briefly.
You're still alive. H how?
The Halo rejected me.
Not all candidates are worthy.
But you are.
Once, a wise man told me that you
are a miracle of the highest order.
I should have listened.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry, I
- [BELLS TOLLING]
[AVA] It's the bells.
We need to be in place before they stop.
[BELLS CONTINUE]
It's now or never.
You two, go.
We can hold them off.
Whatever it takes to protect the girls.
All of them.
Ava, whatever you're doing here
give them hell.

[AVA EXHALES]
[BEATRICE] Homestretch.
[AVA] Let me guess.
Adriel's Tomb is dead ahead.
[AVA] Hey, uh
I know you calculated
exactly what it would take
to break through that floor,
so why'd you bring enough
explosives to implode a skyscraper?
Or should I say enough to blast
through six meters of rock?
[BEATRICE] Getting into
that tomb with explosives
would be nearly impossible,
but it's in everyone's best interest
to have a contingency plan.
[AVA] You asked me to have faith in you,
and yet you've been
second-guessing me this whole time.
You don't think I can do this.
[BEATRICE] I know you can do this.
We all do.
We're just not certain you will do this.
Being a team player
isn't exactly your forte.
You do what's best for Ava.
Flight, not fight,
that's where your instincts lie.
[AVA] Okay, fair.
But things change when you
realize not everything's about you.
[BEATRICE CHUCKLES]
[CLICKING]
Then let's
freaking do this.
[CHUCKLES] Close.
She's gone.
[WHISPERS] Michael!
[VOICES WHISPERING CHANT INDISTINCTLY]

She'll have it open soon, Mommy.
[CRAYON CLATTERS]
You're too late.
How do you know?
[JILLIAN] Come, sweetie.
You stay away from him.
Okay?
Okay?
Mom, Ava's almost to the door.
[LILITH] No.
That can't happen!
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
"Let the dead rest".
[DISTANT CLATTERING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[SUPERION] Lilith?
Lilith
what are you doing here?
I have to find Ava.
But
they're at the vault.
[SUPERION] Crimson, don't!
You're gonna bring the
one with the Halo to me,
or this one's gonna lose her head.
I remember you.
Payback's a bitch.
- [SLASHES]
- [SLOSHING]
[GAGGING]
[THUDS]
[VINCENT] Lilith? Lilith?
Lilith?
- Clock's ticking, Beatrice.
- We have time to measure the wall.
We don't have time to try again if
I send you in too much to the left
or right of the tomb, and
you miss your entrance.
Which, uh, I assume is
in the dead center.
- Is this our thing now?
- [CHUCKLES]
If trading terrible puns is wrong,
then I don't want to be right.
Earpiece, check.
Tracking beacon, check.
Friend by your side
check.
- [LILITH] Stop!
- [BEATRICE] Lilith!
What are you doing?
Seriously, this again?
You said I was one of us!
[GRUNTING]
Oh, fuck! What the fuck are you doing?
Lilith, you're jeopardizing the mission.
She's jeopardizing us all!
She's not herself.
Seems like the same old Lilith to me.
Lilith, retrieving the Halo
is no longer your mission.
We're all on the same side now.
The Halo cannot enter Adriel's Tomb.
The hell it can't. Watch me.
[MARY] Shouldn't you be in there by now?
- [GUN CLICKS]
- I've got this.
Make me go through you to get to her,
and you will not like the outcome.
- I'll take my chances.
- Ava, go. We're running out of time.
- Duretti knows you're here.
- No, I will not let her kill you!
No one's killing anyone. Now!
[ALL GRUNTING]
Don't make me shoot you, Lilith!
Ava, do not shoot Lilith!
Lilith, come on. It's me.
It's Mary.
I know who you are.
Yeah, I don't think you know who
you are. So, let me remind you.
You are brave, you're loyal,
and you are way more giving
than you want anyone to know.
I have seen you put yourself
into the path of pure evil
to protect the rest of us!
I've seen you lay down your
life to keep your Sisters safe!
[BOTH PANTING]
You called me heartless.
And then you had to go
and prove me wrong. Hmm?
I do not know what lies
your mind are telling you,
but you are Sister Lilith of the
Order of the Cruciform Sword.
You hear me?
You hear me, my Sister?
And I see you.
[VOICE BREAKING] I see you. I see you.
[BOTH PANTING]
[VOICE BREAKING] I don't know
what's happening to me, Mary.
I'm losing my mind.
I've got you. I've got you.
I've got you.
[LILITH CRYING]
And you've got to go.
There's not enough time to
get back up and out of here.
Then we blow ourselves
an exit if we have to.
We can still salvage this.
Trust me.
I do.
In this life or the next.
In this life or the next.
What she said. Now go.
[WHOOSHES]
[PANTING]
[AVA] Beatrice?
[BEATRICE] I'm here.
You're doing great.
Just keep putting one foot in front
of the other, and you'll hit the tomb.
[AVA] That's weird.
[BEATRICE] What's wrong?
[AVA] Divinium. It's super rare, right?
[BEATRICE] Extremely.
Every fragment we have,
down to the small bits we
use to tip arrows and bullets,
it comes from Adriel's Armor.
It's the only known source. Why?
[AVA] What if I told you someone
made a Tarask skeleton out of Divinium
and put it in this wall?
You're sure it's Divinium?
[AVA] Unless there's another
weird, blue metal thing
that I can't phase through.
[BEATRICE] Then I would say
that maybe you have it backward.
The skeleton wasn't
crafted out of Divinium
it is Divinium.
The original, organic source.
[AVA] I'm going around it.
Ava, in practice, you barely
had enough Halo power
to make it through to the tomb
if you stuck to a direct route.
Going around may put
you at an energy deficit
before you can make it through.
[AVA EXHALES]
I'll just have to push harder.
Sorry, dude.
Not gonna get stuck in here with you.
OCS records only mention
Tarasks coming into our world
to chase down the Halo.
But what if the power from
the bones would allow them
to exist in our world permanently?
That Tarask may not
be there by accident.
He may have died trying
to get to Adriel's bones.
Ava?
[RADIO NOISE CRACKLING]
[AVA'S VOICE CRACKLING] Am I
pointed toward the tomb right now?
[BEATRICE'S VOICE CRACKLING]
Ava? Can you hear me?
Beatrice?
[RADIO NOISE CRACKLING]
Ava? Can you hear me?
Think I've lost her.
Ava?
Nothing.
[EXHALES] Beatrice. Shit! Shit!
[PANTING]
Fight. Fight not flight.
A team player.
My friend really needs me.
Okay.
My family.
[CONTINUES PANTING]
[GASPING]
[CLICKS]
There are no bones here.
There are no bones here!
Beatrice?
Beatrice?
Fuck.
Fuck. No, no, no. Fuck.
No. Fuck. Fuck.
[CONTINUES PANTING]
[GASPING]
Who the fuck are you?
[MAN] You might know me by the name
Adriel.
[CONTINUES PANTING]
