that was delivered

from the cleaners

the day before.

And... And she

vacuumed the carpet.

You're...

You're over-thinking this.

No, uh, she was

wearing pantyhose.

Delia only wore pantyhose

when she went to church.

Well, maybe she was

going out for lunch.

No, she was trying

to impress him.

Oh, now we're getting

off track. It's simpler

than that, Hazel.

He was preying on the weak.

He was preying on the faithful.

When was the last time

you went to church?

My cousin's wedding.

To pray?

The only god I ever prayed

to was Guy Lafleur.

Exactly.

Now he was

promising them salvation.

In exchange for what?

In exchange for their deaths.

So why butcher them?

It's for show,

just to confuse us.

Then how did he find her?

There is nothing weird in here.

Are you sure you know

what you're doing?

Maybe I should call Melanie.

There's nothing.

Well, maybe somebody erased it.

Wait.

Wait, wait.

Mmm-hmm.

Look at that.

What am I looking at?

Massach,

faith for the dying.com.

We have nine victims.

He's said three-quarters of

the prayer of resurrection.

There were 12 apostles.

So he needs

three more victims

to finish the prayer.

Okay, so this email address is

actually linked to a bunch

of different websites.

Most of them are chat rooms

talking about cancer,

suicide, heart disease.

Ah, that's how

he's recruiting them.

What's LTP?

Let's talk privately.

Okay, see this T Lawrence?

I need to find out

where that person lives.

Are you ready to begin?

Of course.

If you are going

to be a part of this,

I will have to cleanse you

of your transgressions.

Close your eyes.

Yeah, I'm pulling up now.

Okay, what can you see?

Looks clear.

There's no cars in the driveway.

See if you can

get a little peek inside.

Okay.

There's nobody home.

What do you want me to do?

Well, see if you

can peek in the window,

see what's inside.

You're not sending him in there.

This may be our only chance.

He's a kid, for Christ sake.

He's a police officer.

You wait for backup, Wingate.

We don't have time to wait.

I'm gonna go around back.

Wait.

Standard procedure, Wingate.

No! No! Just back off.

You call for backup,

you wait.

Oh, come on,

he's gotta get in there.

Call for backup.

The guy's gonna get away.

We're not gonna wait.

You secure the perim...

No. No. Back off.

Come on. Go ahead.

Check out the window.

Wait for backup.

Secure the perimeter.

He can't wait!

The guy's going to be gone!

There's blood.

There's blood everywhere.

Stand down, Wingate!

No! No!

Wait for backup!

Wingate, proceed.

Listen to me.

Where are you?

Wingate!

Tell me what's going on.

I'm in the backyard.

Don't listen to Hazel!

You are risking his life.

You are throwing away

your job and mine.

This is my job!

I'm going in.

Wingate?

Wingate!

Ben?

Ben? Ben?

Hello, Hazel.

Who is this?

Well, you know who it is.

Otherwise you wouldn't

have sent poor Ben out to

look for Dr. Lawrence,

would you?

I swear to God, if you touch...

Hazel, relax.

He looked so tired.

You've been working him

so hard I gave him

something to sleep.

Did you get my package?

I have to go now, Hazel.

But I have faith...

Our paths will cross again.

Yeah. This is

Detective Ray Greene

from Fort Dundas PD.

I need

a full response unit

to 76 Dollard Street.

There's an officer down.

Mason offered me the

CO job six months ago.

I turned it down.

Maybe you should have taken it.

Is it on?

Today I'm leaving this body

that has tortured me for years.

But it has given me

the moments I treasure.

Running, as a child,

dancing with my husband.

Bringing my son into this world.

I want to live,

but not like this.

I love you and

I want you to know that

I'm trusting my body

to someone worthy,

who will cleanse my spirit

and bring me home.

Remember me as I was.

Thank Dr. Reiner

for his kindness.

Give Jenny a big kiss

from grandma.

I had the photos blown up

that I took in the trailer.

It's Delia's necklace

and all the other gifts

the victims sent to Simon.

No. Come back here.

Really, how are you doing?

He had that syringe to my neck

before I even saw his face.

Yeah.

What?

My God, I'd swear...

This is Father Price

in this picture,

like 30 years ago.

What is a picture of

Father Price doing

in a trailer

halfway across the country?

What I'm about to undergo

is a sin in His eyes.

Are you afraid, Father?

Today is my day

of judgment, reckoning,

of course I am.

Of what?

You know, Peter.

I've been told

that my mistake...

My mistake alone

is what led us here to this sin.

Gabriel's sufferings

led me to the prayer.

And the prayer is pure.

It was never meant

to be used this way!

Only Christ can raise the dead.

Christ is in us all.

You taught me that.

I am allowing you

to trespass on my soul.

It's a sin, Peter.

It's a sin.

I'm the one committing

the sin, Father, not you.

When all the

sacrifices are complete,

God will forgive the trespasses.

May God forgive us both.

I would like to pray.

Of course, Father.

Our Father,

which art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory,

forever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

Where's your pain today, Father?

Everywhere.

I love you, Father.

Father Price.

Father Price?

He's not here.

Sister, excuse me.

I'm sorry to have

to do this now,

but could you

tell me if you know

what happened

to any of the boys

in this picture?

These two boys,

Peter and Gabriel Mallick.

We could only find

a home for one of them.

Father Price chose to

send the younger boy,

Gabriel.

We didn't ask a lot of

questions in those days.

Broke his heart

when he learned

how he had suffered.

Peter found him, took him in.

They moved out West.

Away.

But it was too late.

He was never the same.

Gabriel took his

own life last year.

A few weeks later,

Father Price grew ill.

Cancer.

He felt it was God's way

of punishing him.

When was the last time

that you saw Peter?

Three months ago,

after his brother's passing,

he came to Sunday service.

Said he was going

on a long trip.

And a few weeks ago

he called Father Price.

Really?

I figured out who he is.

His name is Peter Mallick

and he changed his...

We know.

What do you mean, you know?

We got into his

e-mail account.

We know who he is.

We know where he's going.

Carl Smotes.

We're coordinating

with the RCMP to put him

into protective custody.

When?

It's not your concern

anymore, Hazel.

What? What are

you talking about?

We can handle this.

No! I wanna be there.

What do you mean,

you can handle it?

I'm the one that figured it out.

I'm the one that

told you about it

in the first place...

You're done!

...and you wouldn't
