Blasphemer.

Blasphemer.

So...

has the world gone mad?

No. It still makes deals.

Mine was with William Eden.

I opened the Vatican vaults

and retrieved the dagger...

William Eden had

lost 400 years ago.

In return, he compromised

certain votes...

of certain cardinals.

For my deal with William Eden...

I will become pope.

A warrior pope.

A pope of a church

that will reclaim its property...

and its sanctity and its power.

Blasphemer!

Aaah!

Pagan-worshipping blasphemer!

I need to speak with Eden.

You know what I mean.

The other.

No. I'm asking you.

I seek the other.

He ends where he began-

in St. Peter's.

We hang priests here!

The weak ones!

Mara died.

Slit her wrists.

I've got to go.

I've got to go.

Alex.

Am I the answer to your prayer?

You just might be.

I performed the ceremony...

found Mara dying.

I did it to set her free.

How did it feel?

Like I was God.

What about her sins?

Do you have knowledge

of them too?

Yes. There weren't many.

Hmm. She was a good girl.

One thing about it

troubles me, though.

Don't intellectualize

something so visceral.

It's just, in the church,

suicide is a mortal sin...

and I didn't feel it at all.

Maybe the church is wrong.

No.

She was murdered.

One day, you will realize, Alex...

that because of what I did...

in your heart,

Mara, your love...

will live forever.

- No!

Barath-mae-

- Barath-sec.

Now you'll know

what I know, Alex.

Time to look into the abyss.

There are wonders there.

I feel like I'm...

10 years old again.

I'm home.

I...

understand.

God save me, I understand.

The parchment-

it's not how you kill the other.

It's how you become the other.

I'm sorry.

I found out too late.

I won't leave you like this, Alex.

There has to be another way.

When I learn what it is,

I'll find you...

even if it's to kill you.

Morning.

I sent for the sin eater.

I am the sin eater.

Huh.

So Eden gets what he asks for...

and you and I are left behind.

What you told the Vatican

has ruined me. Did you know that?

Deposed...

and degraded.

It was you, wasn't it?

I learned a lot

in a very short time.

And in the end...

the only secret people keep

is immortality.

You ready?

It's the confession, not the priest...

that gives you absolution.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Are you ready

to make your confession?

Yes.

She was like a sunflower.

God's beautiful mistake.

Choke on your own filth.

And now it is I.

I have been blessed and cursed...

for now I possess the keys

to the kingdom ofheaven.

I will forgive those

who deserve freedom.

I will damn those

who have damned themselves.

I will learn to live

after love has died.

I am the sin eater.

Due croci.

Due croci.
