In return, he will receive a large amount of money and a clear passport. Toorop joins Aurora and her guardian Sister Rebeka as they cross the dangerous Russian landscape chased by mercenaries that also want Aurora. On their journey, Toorop discovers that Aurora has special abilities and once in New York, they see on the news that the Noelite Convent has just been bombed.

Spit it out.

Girls.

We made it across the border.

Here's to survival...

...and thank you for saving my life.

Maybe now you can trust somebody.

We protected each other like family.

We are all going to die in New York.

Good night.

She's just scared.

Yeah, right.

Go back to sleep.

We still have a long way ahead of us.

What are you doing?

We go through customs tomorrow.

Can't take these.

You know, when Sister Rebeka

first found me as a baby...

...it was a night like this.

Aurora.

That's where I got my name.

From the chaos.

It suits you.

You're risking your life for me.

Why?

I've done my time.

All this killing and pain...

...and war for what?

I'm tired.

I'm tired of it all.

You're my only chance

out of this hell.

And go where?

...near Canada.

It's upstate New York.

My parents had a farm.

More like a cabin with a lot of land.

It's probably in ruins,

but I might be able to fix it up.

There is no place like home.

Well, Kansas ain't what it used to be.

The Wizard of Oz.

That's right.

Toorop.

Are you really going to kill me

and burn my body?

I hope I won't have to.

Thirty minutes.

The bus leaves in 30 minutes.

There's a plane to New York

in two hours.

Passengers for Flight 712

to New York...

... please proceed to Gate 211

for immediate boarding.

You are now leaving Canada.

We hope you enjoyed your stay.

Welcome

to the United States of America.

Welcome to America.

Welcome to America.

Welcome to America.

Stop.

Hold it right there.

- Hey.

- I said, hold it.

- Calm down.

- Hey.

A miracle in the making.

Tomorrow is the dawn

of our new age.

Harlem, we've changed.

We've changed.

Right here, girls.

It's okay. It's safe here.

Here.

Can we turn it off?

You can't turn it off.

You can change the channel.

Hey.

There's no food.

Because we're not

gonna be here long.

What's wrong?

They're all dead.

Sources report the destruction in

Kirghizstan of a 1000-year-old convent.

One of the oldest continually functioning

convents in Central Asia.

Now occupied by an ascetic branch

of the Noelites...

... the convent was struck by a missile

late last night.

There were no survivors.

Here, an initial reaction

from the Noelites.

It is a tragedy to think

that even defenseless women...

... who made the choice to withdraw

from society and lead a life of purity...

... should suffer the attacks

of terrorists...

... who have absolutely no respect for

the lives of decent, God-fearing people.

We shall mourn our Sisters.

The Noelites have been persecuted

for too long.

Tomorrow will be the dawn

of our new age.

Congratulations, my friend.

You made it safe and sound.

Gorsky.

- Did you destroy that convent?
