Revelation TV mini series SPOILER

[Tonks]

Amazing how so many people can see the same thing and report 
something so differently.  Now I have finally seen it from the 
beginning and never left the room, it makes sense. 

So here is the plot so far for anyone that missed it and want to see 
the next episode on Wed. night, NBC 9:00pm EST.



A Professor (astrophysicist who lectures about the scientific 
explanations for events in the bible, thereby discounting the bible) 
has a 12 year old daughter who is kidnapped, tortured and killed by 
a satanic cult. They use her heart for a ritual; we don't see it and 
don't know what it means. The Professor ends up in a South American 
country (I think he looks for and finds or someone finds the killer) 
Meanwhile a nun (who works for a group funded by a religious 
fundamentalist looking for signs of the end times) is also in the 
South American country filming an event that has drawn locals.  This 
event is the shadow of Christ on the cross against a mountain when 
there is nothing to cause a shadow.  On the airplane back we have 
the Prof., the killer and his guard and the nun.

Meanwhile back in the US, a girl has an argument with her father 
about what she is wearing to school.  Actually she has some sort a 
of tattoo on her belly and her father tell her to cover it up or 
wash it off.  I couldn't see what the tattoo was.  The girl misses 
the bus and runs to school across the golf course and gets hit by 
lightning.  She is in a coma in a hospital and a priest comes to 
give last rites, because she is brain dead.  They are keeping her 
alive to harvest her organs for transplant.  Her mouth starts moving 
and the priest notices and hears her speaking in Latin, quoting the 
bible.  The priest calls the nun who comes to investigate.  The 
comatose girl draws a picture.  Somehow the Nun knows that only the 
Prof. can help and she goes to him. The picture is somehow connected 
to Galileo. 

The Prof. doesn't want to get involved. He says that the satanic 
cult is after him. He keeps the picture and sends her away. He looks 
up the foundation on the internet and discovers the Nun's sister 
killed herself when she was part of a cult following a false 
Messiah.  

The Prof. goes to visit the killer and the killer is like a DE.  He 
says his *father* is "the one who can not die" and tells the Prof. 
that he (the killer) cannot bleed.  He cuts off his finger to prove 
it and there is no blood. 

The Prof. goes home.  He looks at the drawing by the comatose girl.  
It has in it the same picture that his daughter drew for him years 
ago (a strange looking donkey, for Don Quixote and she called her 
father that.  It was something just between the two of them).  He 
calls the Nun and they meet at the airport.  He is going to the 
bedside of the girl. The Nun tells him that a judge has postponed 
the harvesting of the organs for 72 hours.

He gets to the hospital. Again decides that he doesn't want to get 
involved in this or something.  He asked the Nun how she knows about 
the picture that his daughter gave him. He is suspicious.  The Nun 
says that it is the sprit of his daughter talking through the 
comatose girl. The Prof. does believe her. Then the priest comes 
running to tell them that the girl's heart is failing and the 
medical people are going to take the organs now.  The Prof. drops 
his suitcase and runs to the room.  While the others argue over what 
to do, in all the confusion he takes the girl's hand and remembers 
his daughter's funeral and in that moment of his feeling the love he 
has for his own daughter as he is holding the girls hand, the girl 
comes back to life.  I think that she is still in a coma, however.  
It stops there.

Now this last scene reminds me of the possession in the MoM in HP 
and the love in Harry that saved him as he remembered the death of --
-.

Also interspersed throughout all of this is another place in the 
ocean or sea where a ship does down and everyone is killed except a 
baby boy. The boy ends up on a Greek island and is baptized by Greek 
Orthodox priest in what looks like an Orthodox monastery. (We are 
led to think that he is Christ returned.)
