Mother of Tears Page #3

Synopsis: An ancient urn is found in a cemetery outside Rome. Once opened, it triggers a series of violent incidents: robberies, rapes and murders increase dramatically, while several mysterious, evil-looking young women coming from all over the world are gathering in the city. All these events are caused by the return of Mater Lacrimarum, the last of three powerful witches who have been spreading terror and death for centuries. Alone against an army of psychos and demons, Sarah Mandy, an art student who seems to have supernatural abilities of her own, is the only person left to prevent the Mother of Tears from destroying Rome.

He began talking nonsense.

Wait. Wait, wait.

I- Yes-

- He was writing this when he had the stroke.

- Here.

It's a list of what was in the urn.

- "Mater Lacrimarum. "

- Mater Lacrimarum. Yes.

The monsignor thought the urn...

and its contents were magical...

that they belonged

to an evil witch...

named Mater Lacrimarum-

the Mother of Tears.

It's such a shame.

He was a brilliant man- kind...

and a wonderful teacher.

To end his days believing

in this nonsense-

I'm sure he told you the same thing

he told me many times-

that God's plans for us are a mystery

to everyone but him.

Monsignor Brusca wrote this

for a reason.

One we might not understand,

but a reason nonetheless.

Good-bye, Father.

Hold still. I said hold still!

- No! Help me!

- Open your legs. Open your legs!

No! Help me!

Stop! Freeze!

Freeze!

Michael?

Hello?

Is there anybody home?

Michael?

Paul?

Michael?

Michael! What happened?

They took him.

- Who took him?

- The babysitter...

went out for two minutes, she said.

She came back...

and she found... this-

"If you want to see

your son again...

keep the silentium. "

The silentium.

Michael, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, darling.

Those symbols-

they are the same ones I saw on the urn.

I know! It's the same people.

It's some kind of black magic.

Black magic?

- I don't know about black magic-

- What?

What, you think this is all some

sort of coincidence?

- No, I didn't say-

- don't be so bloody naive! Giselle's dead.

Brusca's in a coma.

Now they've taken Paul.

It's - It's all connected with the urn

and-and those talismans.

And they want me to stop looking.

They want me to keep quiet.

About what?

Keep quiet about what?

The darkness... gathering around Rome.

You haven't seen it?

It's happening.

Here, come with me!

- Look. Let me show you. Look.

- I'm coming.

What do you think all this is?

Where is it?

- An epidemic of suicides, 52 in two days!

- Yes.

Look. A wave of violence

spreads through the city-

murders, fires, kidnappings,

church vandalism-

Yes, Michael, you're scaring me.

I- I know all this.

I'm going to Monteleone.

There's a priest there, Father Johannes.

And what on earth could he do

to help this situation?

He's an exorcist-

one of the last confirmed by the Vatican.

He knows more about the occult

than anyone else I know.

And he'll be able to help me get Paul

back in a way they can't detect.

- Look, Michael, why don't we try the police?

- No! No police!

You saw the way they looked at you at the

museum. They thought you were f***ing crazy!

Michael, look, I-I love Paul,

okay, as much as you do...

but I don't know if

this is the best way-
