The Faith of Anna Waters Page #2

Where are we going?

Sweetie, I know it's hard,

but...

we're here to say goodbye

to your mom.

No! No!

You can't burn her.

She's coming back.

Mommy's coming back

in seven days.

She's not coming back, Katie.

No! No, Mommy. No!

No! Mommy! No!

She's with God now.

No God would allow people

like Anna and my mother

to suffer the way they did.

You want to come in, sweetie?

Okay.

You can come in

when you feel better.

Mommy?

Is that you?

God forgive me.

God forgive me.

It started a month ago

with Saint Benedict.

This morning the Web sites

of three other churches

were attacked

in the exact same way.

Might it not just be a prank?

Corporations and governments

get hacked. Why not the Church?

We're not dealing

with a hacker here, Father.

The defacement may look it,

but...

the code used in the attacks is

like nothing I've seen before.

Employing such a sophisticated

code to hack a church Web site...

It's like... It's like using

a laser to... to kill a fly.

I... I'd really like to help you,

but I just don't see how I can.

The Tower of Babel...

I need to know more about it.

The Bible mentions many towers.

But it was Man's

use of one tongue

that led to

his spiritual suicide.

But God destroyed the Tower and

confounded all the languages.

The one tongue is no more.

This is binary.

It's the language of computers

and the Internet.

The ones and zeros correspond

to the two basic states of

electrical signals...

On and off.

Now, whether you speak English,

Spanish, Japanese, French...

Binary captures every language

out there,

making it the language

of languages.

It's the new one tongue.

Where are you?

Is my mommy coming back?

Who's he?

Just make sure she feeds

in a while

and then

once again five hours later.

She can do it on her own,

but just, you know, remind her.

Got it.

I'm sorry.

You're not a babysitter.

I just...

I don't know anyone here.

It's fine, and I love kids,

plus it gets me

out of the bureau.

- So...

- Thank you.

Um, I shouldn't be long.

Don't worry.

We'll be fine.

Is this about Anna?

Jamie, wait.

Let me help you.

You didn't care

when you dumped my sister,

so why the concern now?

For all I know, you're the

reason why she killed herself.

Miss Waters.

I'm Ravi Sharma.

You said your sister killed

herself. So did my wife.

I have something

you need to see.

Darling.

I'll be back in seven days.

Wait for me.

I love you.

She had removed her own womb.

It was all captured

on the baby cam.

A few days ago I was putting the

baby stuff away when I saw this.

What is it?

You've seen it before.

In the room

where my sister died.

May I take a look around?

Charlotte was an accountant.

Retired.

But she still did some freelance

auditing once in a while.

Was your wife sick?

No, that's for the IVF.

We've been trying to have a baby

for years.

But the doctors said Charlotte

was too old to get pregnant.

Well, she paid the day she died.

Hey, Tara.

It's Majorie.

Hey, listen, I'm wondering,

are you still with Chester Tan?

Yeah.

Katie.

It's time you fed.

Danny?

- Can't she stay?

- No.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Don't hurt us.

Mommy, is that you?

Mommy?

He killed us all!

He will kill every one of you.

- Who is he?

- He has many names.

Jamie, wait.

Let me help.

Charlotte removed her womb

because she was infertile.

Anna suffocated herself,

starving her brain of oxygen,

because that's where

Huntington's starts.

Charlotte told Ravi

she's coming back in seven days.

Katie said the same about Anna.

Then there's the symbol.

The two cases are linked.

Let me help.

I want to find the truth

as much as you do.

Katie?

There you are.

Are you drawing something?

Is that a word game?

Can I play?

Hmm.

They look like names.

Danny says he has many names.

Who's Danny?

Well, they look similar.

I know. It's an anagram.

- What's that?

- An anagram's a word

formed by rearranging

the letters of another word.

I'll show you.

Okay.

Katie.

That's your name.

Now let's see.

And this is an anagram

of your name.

Eli...

The plot was confiscated by

the British government in 1938

and later resold at an auction

in 1953 to the Harris family.

Anna?

Miss, are you all right?

Katie?

- How is she?

- In bed.

What is it?

That thing you have in there,

it can give people a real scare.

I nearly died of fright

when I saw it.

What thing?

That.

It was...

It was right here a moment ago.

Um, what was it?

A dummy in a diving suit.

I was right here with Katie.

I turned around, and it was

right here on this chair.

- Are you okay, Majorie?

- Uh...

That's my cab.

I... I have to go.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Uh, I spoke to my friend

who works for the lawyer

that your sister used, and...

it wasn't Sam

who wanted the divorce.

It was Anna.

I just thought you should know.

Hey.

She's coming back.

Just two more days.

Katie.

There.

He demands the Tower, but

rejects the tongues I offer.

I have sacrificed my blood,

but he will not do my bidding.

What tower does he speak of?

- Miss Waters?

- Yeah?

Something just happened.

Charlotte's computer

deleted three names

from her address book.

I didn't see the first two.

It happened so fast.

But the last one is someone

by the name of Josh Lim.

- Do you know him?

- No.

There's something else.

It's exactly seven days

since Charlotte died.

Are you okay?

When you called, I thought

something had happened to Katie.

No.

She's fine.

Why didn't you tell Katie

that Anna was the one who wanted

the divorce, not you?

I didn't want her to blame Anna.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

After Katie got sick,

Anna felt guilty for

not telling me the truth.

I told her it didn't matter,

but it ate away at her.

She said she didn't want me

going through life

dragging around a sick wife

and daughter.

She said she wanted me

to be free.

You have to tell Katie

the truth.

She can't go through life

hating you.

Katie.

Hello?

Josh?

Josh?

Josh? No! Josh!

No!

We've got to get you

to the hospital.

- Seven days. She... She said...

- Who?

- Who said seven days?

- She... She...

So you will kill

in the name of your God

just to save?

- I adjure you!

- No, Father!

You've killed him.

Danny?

Danny?

No! Ah! No!

Spare him, Nigel, please.

I beg you.

He wants you too.

Sam. I found something.

First, thank you, Anna,

for an amazing meal.

May I propose some

post-dinner entertainment?

All right. Let the sance

begin. Everybody.

Miss May Wong?

Spirits, ghosts, ghouls,

we wish to converse.

Are you present?

Okay, can we have dessert now?

I have the most amazing

chocolate cake ready for you.

What the hell was that?

Did you do that, Wayne?

Okay. That was me.

You idiot!

Um, there's something.

Tell us your name.

May?

May, are you okay? Oh!

Oh, sweetie, are you okay? May.

Oh. It's okay.

It must be the wine. I'm taking

medication for my heart.

- I'd better go. Sorry.

- It's okay. It's okay, dear
