Thank you.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness to the

resurrection. Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness

to the resurrection.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness to the

resurrection.

She who covers a sin shall not prosper.

Shall not prosper.

The she who confesses shall receive mercy.

Yes, Lord, mercy, mercy.

Oh, blessed Saint Mary Magdalene, our Lord and Savior, guide us this night

we may release our soul from the bondage of darkness.

In the name of Mary Magdalene, I command you to bring forth the light of

the second coming.

Amen. Amen.

Hold

her

down.

Everything seems to be healing very nicely after your surgery.

There will be scarring where your cervix was and you may feel pain there for a

little while.

How are you feeling?

Fine. Any hot flashes?

No. Not really, no.

How about spotting or bleeding?

Just a little. Okay. Well, that's to be expected. And nothing to be too

concerned about.

Obviously, if that changes, call the office immediately.

I think we can officially say that you are cancer -free.

Congratulations.

I want you to know that you're not alone.

HPV is one of the most number one leading causes of cancer for women.

And many women go on to lead a perfectly normal, healthy life after their

hysterectomies.

Except for having children.

If you'd like to talk to someone, we have brochures at the front desk for

support groups.

Have you been sleeping?

I can write you a prescription for that if you want.

No,

I'm okay.

Okay. Well, then the worst is behind us.

But I want you to stop at the front desk on your way out and make an

appointment. We do still need to see you every four months for a checkup.

Okay.

All right. I'll see you then.

Okay.

Will you be back?

Well,

I assume you are feeling a good deal of relief.

Oh, gee.

Where were you, Disney?

I was just thinking.

About?

He got married.

And how does that make you feel?

I feel this

deep sense of doubt.

Doubt?

Mm -hmm.

It's been a year since I took the bail, and I don't feel anything.

Not with my fellow sisters, not...

Not with Christ.

How about with God?

I thought giving myself to him would be different.

But it's not.

They're back.

What's back?

Thoughts. Thoughts are back. I can't. Georgie. I can't.

Hey.

Look at me.

Oh.

Look at me.

Shh.

All right.

None of this is your fault.

Are you taking your meds?

All right.

All right.

You know, do you even tell us?

if we put our faith in him. How can I?

It's like I married someone who I can't touch.

I can't... I know, I know.

His ways are mysterious.

But they are also powerful.

And if you can put your faith in him, he will lead you to understanding and he

will lead you to forgiveness, I promise.

Father, you've been...

Whole time you've been great No judgment no disappointment

You know everyone else disappeared but

This isn't working for me It's

not enough I don't know what to do

But I do know that you and I will get through this together.

And you will remember those more aggressive therapies that we talked

It might be time for us to investigate those.

Look at me.

Depression has not ended.

Hell, if it were, I would be in hell already.

It's okay to doubt.

And seriously, do you think you're the first person that I've caught trying to

skip communion?

Oh, hey, baby.

Welcome home.

My last class got out late. I just threw something together quick.

I'm starving.

I hope you're hungry.

What?

The tonnoyer is special.

Only the best.

My girl.

Love you, Georgie girl.

So when I get into grad school next year, shoot me if I'm the TA causing a

about the least significant problem.

You need something?

Oh.

I forgot you don't have that anymore.

Here.

This is gonna hurt.

There is a convent that I want you to visit.

I think maybe they might be able to help you better than I have.

Father, I don't think it's about a particular... You don't understand.

That wasn't a question.

And I'm not asking.

Now, I'm your therapist.

And my responsibility is to report any attempted suicide.

Now, my condition for not reporting this attempt is that you go to this convent.

But I told you, I don't know how I got up there. And I told you you have two

options.

Your first option is to spend an indefinite amount of time in a hospital

psychiatric ward, Georgie.

Second choice, you explore this alternative.

For how long?

How long?

A couple of days.

And they're not far away.

They're called the Blessed Sisters of St.

Magdalene.

And they're not recognized by the Archbishop fully yet because they're

progressive.

But they are some of the brightest and some of the smartest women I have ever

met, especially their Mother Superior.

And how do you know them?

I ran across them many, many years ago when I was working on my dissertation.

Theological mysticism in modern Christianity. Yes, I know, I know.

I was into all of that.

Well,

I ran across them.

And I've stayed friends with one of the sisters.

And that sister is now their mother superior. And I would very much like to

her up.

I just don't understand how it's supposed to help.

Georgie, you're lost.

And I don't think there's anything else I can do.

Do you even know what you're searching for?

Why things happen?

How to live life?

That one right there.

That's the thing about wanting to live a life.

Is you have to really want.

So, we party.

Don't forget your medication.

So, am I gonna get the thymine treatment for the whole trip?

Jordy, I understand that you probably hate me right now.

What are you doing exactly?

I'm doing, I hope, what is best.

And I need you to understand that.

I need you to understand that what I am doing, I am doing for you. Do you

believe me?

Does it really change anything what I believe in?

It does, Joy.

It's very important, because in the end, all we are is what we believe.

Hey, what did you say the name of this place was?

The Blessed Fifters of St.

Madeleine.

See, I've been looking online, and I just, I can't seem to find anything on

them.

Really shouldn't come as a shock.

That some nuns don't have a strong social media presence.

Oh!

Sorry, I am sorry. You all right?

Whatever that was, it came out of nowhere.

Do you think this will help me?

Have I ever told you this story?

Here we go with your stories.

You love my stories.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, yes, sir. We are so excited you made it.

Sunshine. Sister Sunshine, I know. So hip.

Or Georgie. Georgie?

I love it!

Ah, Georgie.

I'd very much like you to meet my dear friend, Mother Mathieu.

The leader of you all.

Mother Mathieu, this is Georgie.

Welcome to our home.

Many young women take solace in what we have to offer here.

Sister Sunshine, would you escort Georgia to her room, please?

We just find that this deserves our peace of mind.

Well, it's rec hour right now, but come on, I'll show you around.

This is the entryway, and that is the stairwell course.

You can come this way.

Right down here through these doors is our sitting room.

This is?

This is Sister Georgie. Good afternoon, Georgie. Welcome.

I'm Joan.

Can I take your thing?

And your jacket.

Mr. Georgie here is actually finishing up her master's degree in... Sunshine!

For the love of God!

Sorry.

All the bedrooms are upstairs, and the dining room is right down this hallway

right here.

but I couldn't resist.

Don't be shy. She won't bite.

This is Mr.

Georgie.

Nice to meet you.

The pleasure's all mine.

See you at mass.

This facility is very large.

Is there any sisters in residence?

Oh, goodness, no.

I wish.

There's only a handful of us here now, and we've had to close several sections

off as our numbers have dwindled.

Right through here is the chapel.

Our order is about 40 years old, but our teachings date back to the beginning.

The beginning.

When Mary Magdalene called upon Jesus to rise.

You have no saints here.

Oh, of course we do. Saint Magdalene.

Mr. Georgie, I owe you an apology.

When I snapped at sunshine, it wasn't right.

That's fine.

Thank you.

I'm not usually that way, but when I get to watch the news, it's one of my only

pleasures. Yes, sir.

That, and praising her name.

Of course.

Yes, sir.

Good evening.

Good evening, sisters.

Good evening.

That's better.

As you know, we have a very special guest with us this evening,

and she has come to us for help.

Father Howell, our dear friend, understands, believes in, and

supports our mission here.

And for that we thank him.

Dearly beloved, as you are aware,

the sun of humanity is within us.

And only Mary Magdalene really knew it.

For he did not love her.

more than other women, as Peter claimed.

He loved her beyond any binary system.

He loved her as he loved himself.

He loved her more than humankind.

He loved her as he loved his Father in Heaven.

This is the world we see, we want.

We want this world for the destiny of our church.

You must believe that this is the way our Savior

intended it.

For we are all made of the same matter.

No matter our gender.

So, what do we do for

a sister who is in need?

Help her.

What do we do?

Help her.

That's right.

Sister Georgie, we are all here to help you.

And if you see any of us in the halls or in a pray closet,

don't hesitate to come and ask questions because we are here for you.

That's what we all are here for.

Amen.

Good evening, sisters.

Good evening, Mother Matthew.

Sisters? Well, Sister Georgie, say grace.

Oh, yes.

Sure.

Dear Lord, thank you for the food that we're about to receive.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

So what brings you to our lovely home?

A friend of mine thought.

It can provide the help that I need.

I like your specificity, sister.

You're like one of those people that says, I'm spiritual, but I'm not

Salvation starts with honesty.

Amen.

See, Georgie, my sins are my own.

But by confessing, atoning, and embracing them, I'm free.

We all are.

That's good. I'm just...

Not as comfortable talking about it. You're done?

You will be.

This is... We're having dinner.

Perhaps the conversation could be a little more pleasant.

I saw a hummingbird today.

Wow.

So happy to have you here, sister.

Thank you.

You get cold.

Georgie!

If you need anything, my door is always open.

I think you're really going to love being here.

Can't you feel it?

It's all around.

Oh, good. You're up.

I could use some help.

I thought you liked remodeling shows.

This place could use some sprucing up, don't you think?

Here.

Let's get you ready to go.

You know the story of Judas, right, Georgie?

Of course you do. He betrayed Christ.

Just like you betrayed me.

Well, you left me.

That's a betrayal, though.

You see now, don't you?

I'm always going to be with you.

There's no other family that can replace me.

You want to say something?

A last confession, maybe?

No?

Oh, well.

Probably wasn't going to be interesting anyway.

It might be that a resurrected son of man said to his disciple,

Mary Magdalene, that gold shall rise up, but

must have conquered the seven demons.

Desire.

Ignorance.

The joy of death.

Eegah!

Going somewhere?

Doesn't seem like I can.

The gates?

They keep the world out.

A little hug?

Georgie, if you want to go.

I do.

Why?

It's... This is just...

Not for me.

How do you know until you try?

I saw you in the chapel last night.

So you were watching it?

It was not a holy ritual.

Good morning, sisters.

Good morning, Mother Matu.

How did you sleep?

Well, good.

Yes,

I did.

Good.

I believe that this is going to be a wonderful day.

Sisters.

Is this what you do every day?

Oh, no.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are laundry, and then Mondays and Wednesdays are yard

work, but Fridays are my favorite sparkle day.

It's the day I get to make everything shine.

Silverware, banisters, shoes, puke.

And that's all you do?

Well, in the three months that I've been here, yes.

So, you're new here?

We all are.

Sister Grace came a week after me and Sister Arabella a week before.

And Mother McHugh, of course, she's been here forever, since the 1970s.

Gosh, I bet she was so pretty back then.

You think you're the first one?

What? I heard you want to leave us.

The thing is... It's tough in the beginning, but that's what makes it so

special. Once you surrender.

And what if I don't want to?

Georgie, we all surrender eventually.

It's the only way.

How are you, sister?

Tired.

Yeah, I'm going to bed myself.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night, sister.

Let's retire, sister.

I understand that you want to make a call.

Would you like to call?

Are you pouting?

Georgie Parchee put in pie.

Kissed the girls and made them cry.

I know that you look at me and you think, she's out of touch.

She doesn't know me. No, Mother.

Let's cut the formalities, shall we?

I like you.

I want you to succeed.

And you can.

It's easy.

Let go of the ego.

Sure. Don't do that.

I know that you've been through something traumatic.

Something awful.

And you don't know what to think.

Who to trust.

Believe me, Georgie.

I know.

Trust me.

I want to.

You have to.

See the difference.

If you don't, you can't be anything to yourself.

You certainly can't do anything for the community.

And frankly, what do you have to live for?

Sleep well, my child.

Hello?

Hello?

Sister, this is the night, sister.

Sister? This is the night when we rekindle our sacred

tradition of the Sabbath for the betterment of human

time and the hastening of salvation.

Welcome, Sister Georgie.

So glad to have you here with us tonight.

So glad to have all of you here tonight.

Sisters, repeat after me.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace.

Apostle of apostles and witness to the resurrection.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace.

Apostle of apostles.

Witness to the resurrection.

Again. Hail Mary Magdalene. Full of grace.

Apostle of apostles.

Witness to the resurrection.

Behold sisters.

The ancient gospel of Mary.

Our tabernacle.

Our fountain of life.

Speak these ancient words with me.

Sisters. And do not.

Stop speaking, unless I tell you to.

Thank you.

We have failed sisters.

Good morning. You scared me. Good morning, Sister Georgie.

You left your room a mess.

I came in to see if you wanted to spend rec hour together, and then I found your

clothes sopping wet.

What are you doing?

Just helping you organize, obviously.

Like I said, I came in.

I just thought I'd ask, you know.

Please stop touching my clothes.

Could you head downstairs?

May I join you?

Would you like to do something together?

Rec hours already started and we don't have that much time till Mads - Mr.

Sunshine, are you okay?

Yes.

Here.

Put these on.

Do you mind?

You think you're so special.

You do.

Where is everybody?

It's like the golden child decided to grace us.

Grace us.

What?

Fucking blonde bitches.

I'm sorry, sister. Did I upset you somehow?

Oh.

It's alright, sister.

Come on in.

What's the matter?

I really need to make a call.

Do you think you could show me where the phone is?

All right.

We'll get to that.

I've always hated the way this one's packed.

Georgia, Georgia, I know where you can make a call. There's a phone. Where is

it? There's a phone. It's in Mother Mathieu's office.

I really liked her.

You realize you can't leave.

No one can.

Hello? Father Hal.

Father Hal, you have to help me.

I need to get out of here.

Georgie, is this you?

They're coming.

Wait, Georgie. Georgie, you sound hysterical. Take a breath.

One of the sisters, she was murdered.

By who?

Another nun.

Listen to me. I'm coming right now.

Do you hear me? I'm coming.

I'm going to call the police.

No, no. Don't call the police until I get there. What? Why not?

You need to protect yourself.

But they padlocked the gate.

Lock yourself in.

I don't know how.

Then find a place to hide.

Find some place safe to hide until I get there.

Georgie, I... Father Hal?

You want them to hear you, do you?

You asked me here, so here I am.

What are you talking about?

Last night, you brought me here.

Don't you remember?

Who are you?

Babe.

Me.

Something weird is happening. I don't understand. It's a ritual. It freed

Who? The ancient ones.

But I'm here now.

I knew one day you'd realize how good I was for you.

How much you needed me.

I knew we'd find our way back to each other.

Get away from me.

I love you.

You're the only one I ever loved.

Shut up. No one else ever mattered to me.

You make me the happiest man in the world, Georgie.

I'm consumed by you.

I want to consume you. Shut up! Stop!

Do I scare you?

Georgie? We have to go. We have to get out of here.

Georgie.

Did you hear me? They killed Sunshine.

Help me, Georgie.

I don't know what to do.

I feel like I'm on fire.

My pain, my fear, and my anger arise.

I hate him. Who?

Can I hold you?

I just feel so alone.

When's the last time you held someone you loved, Georgie?

Before they took your power and ruined your life?

Stop!

It's okay.

But we need to go now.

And then what?

Oh.

Are you going with us?

That is the only chance we have at forgiveness and redemption.

Let's go. No!

No!

You don't want enlightenment. You want to suffer like the rest of humanity.

Well, I won't.

Will cover the sin.

Shall not prosper.

Shall not prosper. But she.

Who can it be?

Shall receive mercy.

Mercy.

Oh, hail Mary Magdalene.

Hail Mary Magdalene. Full of grace.

Apostle of apostles.

Witness the resurrection.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness the

resurrection. Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness

the resurrection. Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles,

witness the resurrection.

Hail Mary Magdalene, full of grace, apostle of apostles, witness the

resurrection. Hail Mary Magdalene.

Saint Mary Magdalene! Apollos, Apollos, witness the resurrection.

Out!

Guide us tonight, lead us, and free our souls from

bondage.

In the name of Saint Mary Magdalene, I

command you to bring war!

Consequent or relinquent tempest.

Yes,

Lord. Yes.

Father, help.

What is this?

Please help me. Look.

Mother is upon us.

Father, help me. Georgie.

Georgie. Georgie, look at me.

Sorry, Georgie.

But sometimes...

You have to do things for the greater good.

Leave me alone.

I know you're not a goat.

I know you're not dead.

I've looked you up. You have a full life.

Georgie.

You ruined me. I didn't ruin you. I freed you.

I know you're not really here.

I am your holy vision.

Hate me.

Hate me.

Like you hate yourself.

I deserve better than this.

I deserve a chance to decide what to do with my body, with my life.

You lied.

You cheated.

You infected me.

I'm going to kill you. How do you kill a memory?

Don't you understand?

I am the hate inside of you, growing like your cancer.

Peace! Be still.

Peace is within you.

Obey God!

Peace! is within you, the order is right.

Your demon is rising from the depths of your soul.

Peace and love are within you. Call it forth.

Peace and love.

Peace be still.

Peace be still. Obey God.

Obey God.

Peace and love are within you.

Peace and love are within you. It is the right order.

Peace. Oh, thank God!

She was weak.

She was strong.

I don't want to hurt you, sister.

It is enough now.

You're not my mother.

You are obedient to God.

You understand that peace and love are inside of you.

The order is right.

Georgie! Georgie, please.

Please, don't take the gospel from me, Georgie. You do not deserve this.

This is the holy gospel given to Mary Magdalene by our Savior.

We must preserve it. We must preserve it.

Georgie, Georgie, please.

Georgie, you must preserve. We must preserve our legacy.

You want anything else?

No, I'm late for class.

Professor Birelli's class?

Yeah. I would love to do that. Study in.

It's better to be late.

Thank you.

Any change?

No, you can keep it. Thanks. I'll see you.
