At the warehouse, Father Martin blesses a quantity of bullets. Valerie prepares some of the C4 she had collected from the stadium.

Jack (at a hotel watching Arthur Everett and Bert Case): "Everett says Kimmler's here." Everett, horrified, tells Jack, "He brushed my mind... please, knock me out!"

Golden admits that Kimmler has touched his mind before, but not recently. Distance is a limiting factor, though he's gotten stronger since last October. Marcus: "If you sense him, tell us or your brains will be on the floor."

Marcus tells Jack, "They say Kimmler survived machine gun attacks." Jack: "Does he bleed, though?" Marcus: "I hope so."

Around 4:30, Vicente and Marcus drive to the hotel to take Everett and Case to the warehouse. Just as their elevator is closing, Jack glimpses a suspicious-looking desk clerk exiting a different elevator, and guesses he is headed to their room.

Valerie informs Golden that Kimmler is looking for him. The battery in Golden's cellphone had been removed, and Kimmler is no doubt furious that Golden has not returned his calls and is frantically searching for him. Valerie obliquely explains to Golden that the movie will go much better if cooperates against Kimmler, "but my crew doesn't trust you." Golden will have to contact Kimmler soon and try to allay his suspicions.

Marcus spars with Pete, throwing a punch to his chest that Pete deflects.

Father Martin prays for guidance and strength "to bring light to this city." He receives the message, "The conclusion is tonight."

Fr Martin hands out bottles of holy water to the other members of the team. Valerie immediately drinks half of hers.

6:00pm - In his suite at the stadium, Golden phones Kimmler, who is coldly angry. "A little delayed, is it not? ... The explosives have been removed. Explain." Golden: "There were impersonators... we'll have to improvise." Kimmler: "We knew there'd be opposition... I should be there shortly."

Jack, who is setting up his post among the catwalks, spots a tall man in a navy blue suit walking rapidly toward the suite. Marcus refuses the man entry, saying "Band only."

Jack watches another sniper setting up in the catwalks to target the stage, then locates the sniper's spotter sitting among the concert attendees, Bluetooth earpiece in place, scanning the stage area through binoculars. He also sees at least 60 trained goons from Daybringer Security.

Golden, along with Riva (Valerie), Jamal (Vicente), and Weston (Fr Martin) head backstage. Golden answers a call from Kimmler, who says, "I'm sorry, I was delayed. You're good -- I don't know what game you're playing," and hangs up abruptly.

Marcus has gone outside to one of two helicopters located on either side of the stadium. The helo is occupied only by the pilot, who is wearing headphones and seems less than alert. Carefully positioning himself so he is unnoticed by passersby, Marcus pulls out a large knife, opens the passenger door, lunges at the pilot, and crushes and then slits his throat. Marcus pulls off the pilot's jacket and slips it on. A Daybringer man who had been leaning against the front of the helo brings a hand up to his earbud, then heads quickly toward the stadium.

A box on the co-pilot's seat had broken open; it contains what look like Indian medicine pouches. Marcus opens one of the bags, which contains herbs and spices. Suddenly he is almost overcome with nausea, while at the same time a memory flashes through his mind of how he once was almost killed. Jack suggests he pack all the pouches into an airsickness bag and seal it. Marcus disables the helo's constrols, then heads for the other helo. Valerie uses the app Rick created to start closing the stadium's dome.

Golden: "Kimmler has the habit of appearing unexpectedly. He likes theatrics, enjoys making the grand entrance." Fr Martin: "Let's take a walk."

Valerie decides to grab the audience's attention and try to stop them from panicking during the imminent firefight and keep them from being exploited by Kimmler. As "Riva" she takes the stage alone, shouting "Good evening, Gateway!" The crowd erupts with cheers; the stage goes dark except for a single spotlight on Valerie, who starts belting out the Soulless Triad's viral hit, Fame.

Jack sees the sniper speaking into his headset. The woman with the binoculars scans the stage rapidly.

Many ghosts try to distract Fr Martin and Vicente. Their 'arrows of evil' impinge upon the priest's True Faith, but Fr Martin touches his crucifix and the arrows are rendered harmless.

Marcus, who has reached the second helicopter, hears a radio transmission: "Something's gone wrong. Take the helo into the air." Marcus hangs on to the struts as the rotors spin up.

Fr Martin, Vicente, and Golden enter the suite. Pete says, "It's been quiet here." Vicente warns that fourteen ghosts are approaching; Fr Martin responds, "Let's greet them." One of the ghosts says, "Do you intend to continue this charade?" Fr Martin drops his illusion and brandishes his cross; in unison, the ghosts step back.

As Valerie nears the end of her second song, Jack sees the sniper aiming at her. Jack fires his AR15; the sniper releases his rifle and clutches his chest, bleeding profusely.

Radiant with True Faith, Fr Martin commands the ghosts, "Burn in Light!" One of Wolf's lieutenants flees the stadium; the rest of the ghosts either curl up or stare into the distance. Fr Martin: "Let's ping some more ghosts."

Marcus manages to get inside the helicopter. The pilot looks back at him and says "Hello." Marcus, who is sitting on another box of medicine pouches, asks him what they're for. The pilot calls them "fear inducers." Marcus orders the pilot to land the helo, but the pilot takes the craft upward instead. Marcus: "Last chance -- land." Releasing the controls, the pilot goes for his gun. Marcus fires three times but the pilot is wearing a protective vest. As the pilot starts to take aim, Marcus fires three more shots and the pilot collapses. Marcus shoves him out of the helo, then climbs into the pilot's seat and takes the controls. He experiences a brief 'brain freeze' but then calls out over the headsets, "Guys, I got a helicopter!"
