[edit] Summary

Another serial killer, this time preying on young women who all attend the same church. In order to catch him, Nick must try to overcome his fear and loathing of the Church and its symbols. Meanwhile, flashbacks to 15th Century France show Nick's encounter with a young peasant girl doomed to become a martyr when her claims that God spoke to her result in the Church branding her as a heretic and condemning her to burn at the stake. Nick offers her his version of immortality, but she refuses in favor of her own belief in life after death.

[edit] Quotes

• Nick: You think I am cursed? I, who will live forever?
  Joan: Oh, yes, very, because you are afraid of salvation. You who choose to live forever live in constant fear of death. I do not. I will pray for you, Nicholas. I will pray for us both.

• Nick: Well, they do have a point. After all, why would God reveal His plans through a farmer's daughter?
  Joan: Why did He send His Son to us as a carpenter?
  Nick: And so you will die a martyr. I'm sure that will please you very much.
  Joan: What would please me very much is to be back in Domrémy with my family.
  Nick: So you are afraid of dying. Life isn't so "everlasting" now. I can give it to you. A life that never ends. A power beyond your imagination.
  Joan: Don't.
  Nick: Why throw your life away for the Church—for some pious old men who lied to you? How can you do that?
  Joan: If my death is necessary to keep the Church strong, then so be it. I will live on in the hereafter.
  Nick: How can you be so sure your God will be waiting for you on the other side?
  Joan: Faith. Pure, simple faith. Take this to remember me by, to remember that the faith you have lost is always there to regain.

• Nick: Bring the cross closer to me.
  Natalie: Why are you all so afraid of it?
  Nick: Because it's a symbol of the one, true light and we're creatures of the dark.

[edit] Goofs

• The murder victims, all Catholic, are specifically said to have "all worn crucifixes." But the victim in the Prologue wears a cross, not a crucifix (which would have a Christ figure on it).
• While he's in the confessional, Schanke's raincoat collar is turned up. When he rushes out to confront Nick, it's folded neatly down again.
• When the parish priest is preparing for the Easter Pageant and gathers up the bundle of sticks, the microphone dips into the shot at the top of the screen. (Aired version only. Mistake was digitally removed on the dvd.)
