The other principal's office.
Who would've thought us miracle examiners would be picking locks like petty thieves?
This is the path He has chosen for us.
Please forgive me, Michael!
Michael Brown is alive.
At the very least, he lives on inside them.
The killer may be inside.
Be careful.
Yeah.
There are those who would examine claims of holy miracles from around the world,
and verify a miracle has indeed occurred.
Please show them the way, O Lord,
the Vatican Miracle Examiners!

Everything left as it was when he was alive, huh?
Didn't think that meant they'd mummified and worshipped him.
This Michael Brown must've been a very special person.
There's a Holy Lance here, too.
It's exactly the same as the one in the chapel.
If they were going this far to keep it safe,
maybe it's actually the one that disappeared from the British Museum.
In any case, the killer isn't here.
I found a copy of the Devil's Book!
The Devil's Book?
It's a bible written not by man, but by the Devil.
I've only ever heard rumors of its existence, so what is it doing here?
It's written in enochian script,
sepia, ruplica, murex...
The ink smells good.
It's truly an ancient text.
Huh? This book's in runes.
Huh?
What is it?
This one drawer is a bit heavier than the others.
It's completely empty, but more shallow than the other drawers.
Which means...
Let me take a look.
It had another compartment!
And that's...
...the other half of the tally counter.
Bingo.
That's what connects up to "RICH."
H, E, I, N,
R, I, C, H.
I thought the last bit means "rich" as in "riches," but I was wrong.
Yes, it's "Heinrich."
It's a popular name in Germany.
In any case, we found the other half of the tally counter.
Now, if only we could connect it to the virgin conception...
I'd asked for James Chester's personal history...
Asked Lauren?
...but that's for later.
First, we need to look at Heinrich.
Lauren, can you talk now?
Lauren?
That's him?
Sure that's not his assistant?
Hiraga, could you confirm something for me?
Is the person behind you saying rude things about me your subordinate partner?
This is Father Roberto.
Please don't be mean to him, Lauren.
I'm Roberto Nicolas. Sorry about that.
I'm Lauren Di Luca.
Hiraga, you seem to be in a hurry.
What special job do you have for me?
There's something I'd like you to look into.
I want you to find a name on the Vatican Bank's top-secret client list.
You want me to access something on Secret Level 4.
If you get any hits for the name "Heinrich,"
I want to know all the details.
I'll contact you when I learn something.
Even with the current situation, this is crazy.
If they find out about his hacking, they'll make all of us into martyrs.
Lauren can do it for us.
After all, he's the one who programmed the Vatican's firewall.
Well, damn.
Dolores?
Hey, does anyone know where Anna Dolores is?!
Let me introduce you all.
This is Father McGee.
I'm sorry to not introduce him earlier; he's been locked in the hospital working on genetic research.
I'm Roberto Nicolas, of the Vatican.
Josef Ko Hiraga.
Pleased to meet you.
Father McGee is staying in the room beside yours.
Father Johannes!
It's Carlos!
Something's happened to Carlos Diego!
Father Stefano!
This swine is mine!
I'm taking him to hell!
Don't get in my way!
It's a demon!
He's possessed by a demon!
Carlos!
The Devil may be lying in wait for you.
Take this holy water in case you encounter him.
If you have faith in our Lord and a strong will, the Devil will never triumph over you!
Let's go, Roberto!
Don't hold back, Hiraga.
There you are, you Vatican bastards.
O Lord, grant us thy protection in your name.
I pray you bear to them your truth and drive them away.
I command you to leave!
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
I cast you, the most evil of spirits, out of this holy place!
God Himself commands you!
You know that our Lord Jesus Christ has weakened you, so why do you still defy us?
Tremble before the might of God!
It is too late.
He is already mine.
I command you in the name of Christ, declare your name at once!
Klaus.
My name is Klaus Beck.
That's the name of the priest who died!
Yes, I made a deal with a demon when I was alive.
And now, in the afterlife, I have been reborn as a demon!
He's in an extremely agitated state,
having a psychotic episode...
An overdose!
Could it be...
Give that back!
Forgive me for that.
You okay, Hiraga?
Yes, thank you very much, Roberto.
A stimulant?
Yes, without a doubt.
Which means that Carlos...
...was actually overdosing on a drug.
The exorcism didn't work,
and if he was acting so erratically without being possessed, well...
That was an impressive deduction.
No, our procedure was flawed.
We call ourselves miracle examiners,
yet went straight to exorcising him without first employing scientific methods.
Still, why would something like that happen on these grounds?
He forced me in the beginning.
I couldn't tell anyone about it...
He'd call me out to the shed, force me to take drugs...
I'll kill you.
If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you!
Then, any time he called for me, I'd have to go to the shed.
Then he made me do it with Father Klaus, too...
It hurt when I didn't have the drug, so I, I...
Can I ask you just one thing?
Did Father Klaus call for you that day?
Yes, but...
Will you believe me?
And all the things I said?
Of course we believe you.
And God has forgiven you.
You don't need to suffer anymore.
Oh, Father!
Who would've thought a Catholic priest would make a student his plaything.
Now we can see why Father Klaus was killed, and why Saint Rosario has such ridiculous funds.
Because they're selling drugs?
We're getting a glimpse at who's pulling the strings. But it's going to be hard with the proof has been hidden.
Let's just tell Saul that Carlos was possessed by a demon, and that the exorcism was a success.
Right.
Four people have been murdered in the same ways as the stained-glass martyrs.
On top of that, demon worship and rituals are being carried out.
The culprit...
...is someone on the Devil's side that knows a lot about Christianity.
The Devil's Book?
Before we look into that, there's something Lauren emailed me yesterday that I'd like to confirm.
What is it?
Will you help me with an experiment?
James!
What is it, Father?
The killer may still be around here. What are you doing out in the dark?
Sorry, but have you seen Father Hiraga?
What?
No.
I see...
He's probably back in our room.
Sorry to have bothered you.
Since I have you here, I have to say this:
Ever since you two came, our church has gone through one disaster after another.
Are you sure you're not the demons here?
Who would've thought James Chester can only see things that are moving?
Which means his eyesight's not much better than a frog's.
Yes.
It's true! You have to believe me!
I saw that James had a scar on his head and had Lauren look into it for me.
Several years ago, he got drunk and took a terrible fall.
A serious head injury damaged his visual cortex,
which caused him to develop serious problems with his vision.
Basically, this means that he did not see Mario floating,
but rather, he couldn't see whatever it was that was making Mario float.
This is a picture from the mass before.
Mario's stigmata were not just on his hands and forehead.
Almost looks like someone was strangling him.
Do you know what hematidrosis is?
It's a condition caused by extreme stress, such as a fear of dying,
where blood oozes from the skin and inside the body as well.
That day, Mario was strangled by someone,
who subjected him to unendurable pain and fear.
But when James looked at it,
he couldn't see them because they weren't moving at all.
When the human brain experiences pain or fear it cannot endure,
it erases the memory from our minds.
That's why Mario lost all memory of the incident, and began presenting with hematidrosis.
I think that is the truth behind his stigmata.
I see.
But what about Father Johannes?
He gave the same testimony as James.
I think that Father Johannes is lying.
You think he's working with the killer?!
Or he is trying to cover for the killer.
"God despised Satan and tricked humanity."
"For Satan to spread His Good News to humanity,
He will plant a seed of Himself in a pure maiden,
and His child will deliver salvation unto the world."
According to that passage, Sister Anna Dolores' virgin conception
would not be against their teachings.
That's right.
There's one more thing.
Take a look at him.
What is it?
Father McGee.
Was he spying on us?
He might've been.
Thomas Simeon.
O Lord, it is true they were corrupted,
but they were met with such horrors...
I beseech you, please stop!
No! All who disobey me must be punished.
Including those two from the Vatican that are in my way!
Those two?
Classes are on pause for a while.
Students, please do not leave the student dorms.
As the rain falls from the heavens to the ground,
the Lord's blessing falls from His hand to humanity below.
Whether you are his Chosen or one who is not, God blesses all of us equally!
You looked really focused on Father Thomas.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking things...
What is it?
Is that your child?
Yes, she was a gift from God.
I'd never known the touch of a man, but I still fell pregnant!
Isn't she cute?
My father was so happy to see her!
My father told me many stories about when he came down to Earth.
My father was sent down from Heaven, on a big ark!
An ark?
It was also called the Rusburg!
The Rusburg?!
He did so many things for this desolate land.
He even conducted a ceremony so I could give birth to the child of God!
It was such a strange experience.
The flames of the candles, the upside-down pentagram,
and my father, Klaus, Josef, Leon, and Johannes were all there to watch!
Father Klaus and Father Josef were there, too?
Then I gave birth to this sweet child.
First I was shocked, but my father was so happy.
He said she is God, she is our Lord Janus reborn!
Lord Janus?
That's your father?
Oh, my father is the director of Saint Rosario,
Michael Brown!
Mary!
You ran out of the hospital again? What are we going to do with you?
Please take her.
Yes, Sir.
It was so fun talking with you!
She's a patient at the hospital?
She has schizophrenia.
I hope she didn't bother you with some unintelligible story.
She said that she, Mary Brown, was Michael Brown's daughter.
Mary was adopted.
We've taken care of her at the hospital for the longest time.
When she was young, she gave birth to a child with severe deformities that died shortly after birth.
You saw that doll; it was just like it.
The shock changed her.
Her other baby was healthy, but...
Her other child?
She said she was a virgin when she became pregnant.
After a strange ceremony with Michael Brown.
I've heard that story so many times from her.
It's all in her imagination.
Anna Dolores' case is completely different.
She said that Father Michael called her child the Lord Janus, and that he was happy.
Janus was the god of gates.
He had two heads so as to guard both the entrance and exit.
But why would Father Michael rejoice at the birth of a god of another religion?
Anna Dolores has vanished.
What?!
Do you know anything about this?
You picked up on something, right?
From Mary Brown's story?
Why aren't you telling me?
Roberto, it's best that you return to the Vatican.
God is testing me, and for Ryota's sake, I will continue this investigation.
But the risk is too great for you to continue, Roberto.
I cannot let you get dragged any further into-
Hiraga, don't be so full of yourself!
This is a mission for the two of us!
Yet you can't let me get "dragged" into this?
You and I are partners, aren't we?
Or is that all I am to you?
Alright, Roberto.
Do you remember the UFO story we heard when we first came here?
He said it was around spring of 1945.
Said it flew in the dark sky just before dawn.
Michael Brown came here not long after the war ended.
On an ark, as Mary says. A great ark.
So you're saying that Michael Brown came down to Earth on a great ark?
The Nazis.
Of all the giant airships built by the Nazis, one ship is still missing.
That ship is the Rusburg.
No way!
If the Nazis sent surviving Party members here in the Rusburg at the end of World War Two,
then Michael Brown would be one of them?
And Saint Rosario may be connected with organizations that helped Nazi war criminals escape.
The Catholic Church and Nazis...
Hiraga, I finished your homework.
Lauren!
I searched for "Heinrich" in the Vatican Bank's top-secret client list, and I found one hit.
The Heinrich Social Welfare Organization, with 1.2 billion dollars of funding.
On the outside, they seem to provide help to refugees in war-torn regions,
but their real business is insider trading of stocks with the Vatican Bank as their front.
They have a lot of money in investment trusts in Swiss banks and are making substantial profits.
Furthermore, when I looked into the Heinrich charity executives, lots of Vatican VIPs showed up on the list.
Those VIPs are being paid exorbitant bribes.
Amongst those VIPs were the highest-ranking staff members at the Vatican Bank.
This next part is optional, but,
if the people with a tight grip on the Vatican's money bolster their voices at the next papal conclave,
what will happen to the saints who so value the poor?
That is all.
So the tally counter was used by the Heinrich charity when they did their illegal trading.
That is why the head examiner asked Archbishop Saul to look into this,
to dispose of the pus festering in the Vatican.
The Nazis loved to use runes.
Unfortunately, the runes in this book, like the ones in the church, are all written in code.
But from the state of the ink, I know that this is a much newer book, a counterfeit, even-
Roberto.
You might be able to find a hint to help.
Evemen, evemen... You might be able to find a hint to help.
Evemen, evemen...
So that's the seance Father Stefano was talking about.
You think that's the hint?
What's written on that Ouija board?
Runes!
Law school is perfect for you.
It says you'll succeed there.
You're going to have to study hard.
Someone's coming!
Run!
Who are you?!
Roberto!

Roberto, Janus is the god of entrances and exits.
Entrances and exits?
Maybe there's a door to Hell hidden somewhere.
Let's find the Devil's stronghold.
I'm counting on you, Hiraga.
