Charlie says they must go but will come back the next day for lunch.
Scene 4: The Church
Charlie sits outside the church and rectory checking it out and examining the surrounding area. He notices that no one is hanging about and it is pretty unoccupied. Judith uses her power to help everyone stealth into the rectory. Judith and Charlie wait outside while Jeanie sneaks around the paperwork and Francesca scares the priest.
Francesca leans over the bed looking scary as hell with her wings out and says 'Why are you taking all these people?" The priest acts charmingly befuddled andsays he doesn't know what is going on. Francesca tries to intimidate him again. The priest tells her that people will come back to the rectory. Francesca acts naively giving the priest time.
Jeanie looks around the room in the drawers and collects stuff.
Charlie sees a couple people approaching the recotry and gives out a poor bird call "tweet tweet". Everyone hears the bird call and Judith looks out the window. Charlie stands in front of the door.
Francesca tries one more time to intimidate the priest. He says Father Rivelot has been orchestrating what is going on in the church and the priest is only processing stuff. She tells the priest he must come with her to be safe. The two men approach Charlie and begin to talk to him. Charlie won't move. The door opens and Francesca comes out with her wings spread holding the priest. Charlie square fist punches one of the group in front of him who pulled out small knives. The other guy runs off. Charlie punches the priest and they go back to the hotel.

Some people resisted and were targetted by the Thule Soceity and killed. To prevent this Father Rivelout decided to take away their memories to protect them in remote locations. Yosef says he is only following orders for the good of the people. Judith gets very annoyed at the Father and finds it difficult to believe he is so foolish. She then leaves the room.
Francesca opens the scroll and she sees the bunker and hears the dragon. He asks what she has found. She says she needs to help destroy the Thule Society which will benefit him.
