The Devil Conspiracy

Millions of years ago, Lucifer tried to lead a  rebellion against God and was punished by being   thrown out of Heaven. He fell right into Hell and  Archangel Michael chained him to a large rock,   leaving his own sword as the seal. Before Michael  leaves, Lucifer swears he'll come back someday as   an equal to God. As years pass, Lucifer gathers  demons to help him plan his revenge, and his   worshipers build a villa around the hole through  which he fell while they wait for his return. The   year is now 2022, and art historian Laura is  studying in Italy. She wants to write a thesis   on how the great Italian artists didn't actually  believe in the angels and demons they represented   in their art, but her professor doesn't approve  of the idea because it insults Italy's history.   To make matters worse, he offers to discuss  the thesis in private at his apartment, forcing   Laura to run away from the creep. Moments later,  Laura meets with Father Marconi, who gives her   a special pass that will give her access to all  the exhibitions in his cathedral, including the   new display of the Shroud of Turin. This shroud  contains Jesus's blood from His crucifixion. The   priest gives Laura a full tour of the place and  after seeing the shroud, Marconi shows her their   latest arrival: a beautiful statue of Michael  defeating Lucifer. The duo discusses the concept   of evil for a while, then Marconi leaves Laura  so she can work on sketching the statue for her   thesis. While she draws, Laura thinks she can hear  someone saying her name, but there's nobody around   and she blames it on her imagination. A few hours  later, the exhibition is about to close. A raven   is flying around the building and lands by the  entrance as it transforms into Liz to join the   last group of visitors. Instead of following the  guide though, she takes an off-limits door, which   is noticed by a guard on the security cameras. Liz  takes the corridor with the statues and watches   Laura draw from a distance, only stopping when  she suddenly notices Lucifer's head on the statue   moving. Laura begins getting worried again and  checks her surroundings, only to be startled by   a raven at the window. While Laura is distracted  by the bird, Liz steals Michael's sword from the   statue and leaves. At that moment a guard finds  Laura thinking she's the hooded person that got   separated from the group, but Laura proves she's  got access to this area. The guard leaves thinking   it was a misunderstanding after reminding Laura  they're closing. Laura gathers her things and   notices Michael's hand, but she can't tell the  difference. Next she approaches the front door,   but since it's already locked, she goes looking  for a different exit. When she gets back to the   corridor, she's shocked to see Liz killing  the guard with the sword and taking his   head. Terrified, Laura runs away and hides in  a confessional booth, which allows her to see   Liz turning off the alarms with the guard's  eyes and breaking the glass that protects   the shroud with the sword to steal the relic.  Marconi hears the noise and comes to stop her,   but Liz just stabs him. Then Liz's henchmen arrive  to help protect the shroud, but on their way out,   Liz sees Laura in the booth and orders her men  to take her. After the group leaves the room,   Marconi uses his last breath to pray and asks  Michael to use his body in order to stop Lucifer.   Michael immediately descends from Heaven and takes  over the priest's body to run after Liz's group,   who are leaving in their car. His angel powers  allow him to run quite fast, but the human flesh   can't withstand such power and Michael has to  stop to avoid destroying the body. Meanwhile a   group of rich people watches how a prodigy child  plays the violin with admirable skill. After the   performance, Doctor Laurent explains this kid is a  clone of Antonio Vivaldi, which is one more famous   name in a long list of clones that his company has  been making by taking DNA from their graves. The   babies are then auctioned to rich parents, and  today's offer is a Michelangelo clone. During   the auction, Liz shows up to let Laurent know they  have the shroud. Moments later, the group makes it   to Lucifer Villa. Laurent is excited to see the  shroud because now he can finally clone Jesus,   while Laura is chained inside a glass cell  with Brenda and two other women. One of them   won't stop crying and yelling, but Laura uses  some soft words to help her calm down. Laura   also thinks they should work together, but  before they can plan anything, a bunch of   nurses enters the cell to take her vitals. In  the meantime, Michael returns to the cathedral   and finds other priests reviewing the security  tapes. The men are shocked to see Marconi alive,   but Michael doesn't give an explanation and asks  about the Protectors of the Shroud. The priests   explain Cardinal Vincini had been in charge of  the protection, but he became unstable and started   to talk about demonic beasts and secret cults,  which everyone blamed on dementia. Michael can't   believe priests don't believe in what the Bible  itself says and demands to know where Vincini is,   learning he's now a hermit living alone in an  asylum. Then Michael takes the security footage,   asks about Laura by showing them her pass, and  makes the priests promise they won't tell anyone   that they saw him. Afterward Michael borrows a  jacket and leaves in Marconi's car, taking some   medicine he finds in the glove box to deal with  the pain caused by his powers. All the while,   a raven follows him without him noticing.  While the villa scientists work hard on   getting Jesus' DNA from the shroud, Michael  makes it to the asylum and meets Vincini,   who is armed and afraid. However as soon as  Vincini touches Michael, he can tell he isn't   just a priest and immediately believes him when  he says he's an angel. Vincini knows about Liz and   shows Michael the villa they built around the hole  to Hell while explaining this asylum was built as   a lookout. The scriptures talk about Lucifer  returning someday, and for that he needs two   ancient beasts who are of both worlds: one is the  woman, obviously referring to Liz, and the other   is "the beast of the ground". For years, Lucifer's  followers brought him kids for him to possess,   but those human bodies weren't strong enough to  contain him. That's why they stole the shroud:   they're planning to clone Jesus because he's the  only one with a body strong enough for Lucifer   to take over. Michael is disgusted by what he  hears and promises to stop them, so Vincini   drives Michael to the foot of the villa mountain.  Michael's presence in the area makes his sword   react, and now Lucifer can pull at the chain to  finally free himself from the seal. In the villa,   the women are trying to find a way to break their  chains while chatting about their personal lives,   which reveals Laura has lost her husband and  her child. Laurent runs some tests and discovers   Laura's 100% compatible, so Liz orders him to  hurry up the process. Next the nurses return   to the cell to take the girls, but the women  use their chains to try to defend themselves.   Unfortunately more nurses arrive and quickly  overpower them to then take Brenda and Laura to   the surgery room. There, the doctors implant eggs  fertilized with Jesus' DNA in the girl's uteri and   Liz shows up to introduce herself as an Angel of  the Lord. She tells Laura that she knows she's the   one because she saw her sketches of Lucifer back  in the cathedral and they were very inspiring.   Meanwhile Vincini leaves Michael at the entrance  of a secret cave that will take him to the villa.   Before leaving, Vincini notices the raven that has  been following them and shoots it before giving   his weapon to Michael, who immediately begins  making his way into the cave. Moments later, Laura   and Brenda are dressed as brides and brought to a  gathering of the Lucifer worshipers, where they're   chained to a pillar. Then the Beast of the Ground  comes to pick up the girls and puts them inside   a huge bird cage that is lowered inside the well  that protects the hole to Hell. Suddenly a bunch   of demons appear around the cage and hold the  women down while Lucifer transforms his body into   only its essence so he can enter Brenda through  her mouth. For a few seconds Brenda struggles   against the devil but in the end she can't stand  it and dies. Then Lucifer leaves her body and   enters Laura's instead, who manages to survive the  possession without trouble. Afterward Laura walks   outside in a daze and Liz presents her as "the  chosen one" before taking her to a new glass cell   with a bed and a vital sign monitor. When Laura  asks what's inside her, Liz says it's "a better   Jesus". Back to Michael, he finally finds a door  in the cave tunnel and shoots it open to enter   the villa. The guards immediately notice him, and  when Michael fails to use his weapon, he gets shot   in the shoulder. He responds by knocking out the  guards with a few hits, then he steals a uniform   and a pass to go unnoticed. Michael gains access  to the lab and retrieves the shroud before looking   at the security cameras to get Laura's location.  At that moment Laurent enters the lab, but Michael   immediately pushes him against the table and  demands answers. Laurent's only response is that   he works for a new beginning. Michael decides  to open the gas canisters and light a flare to   blow up the whole lab, putting fire between him  and the incoming guards. The fire alarm begins   ringing in the whole building and Laura asks the  nurse to let her go, but the guy won't let her   leave the cell. Suddenly Michael arrives and after  he knocks out the nurse, Laura hugs him thinking   Marconi is alive after all. However Michael gets  distracted because Lucifer begins to speak to him   telepathically, teasing him about his freedom.  Michael doesn't understand how his seal was   broken and gets furious, making think Laura that  he's part of the enemy. Scared, Laura runs away,   but Michael quickly goes after her and drags her  into a room before she can be found by the guards.   Laura responds by stealing his gun and pointing  it at him, but Michael convinces her he's on her   side while he takes care of the bullet wound. Then  Laura explains what they did to her, so Michael   decides to drag her away with him to protect her.  Liz sees them leave and sends her henchmen after   them, but she kills one of the guards when he  almost shoots Laura because she must come to   no harm Michael and Laura try to escape through  the cave tunnel, but the baby is growing too fast   and Laura begins to feel unwell. Their slowness  gives time for the Beast to catch up to them and   it begins fighting Michael, who at first offers  good combat but soon his human body begins failing   again and the Beast defeats him. Liz arrives with  the henchmen and recaptures Laura, who threatens   with hurting the baby if they hurt the priest.  However Liz reminds her the priest is already   dead and she just needs to kill the angel too.  While Laura is taken back to the cell and tied to   the bed, Michael is chained in the room with the  well. He uses his powers to destroy the chains and   he frees himself, but this leaves him extremely  weak. After dragging his body through the ground,   he reaches the well and opens it to jump into it  right before the Beast can catch him. As soon as   he lands in Hell, Michael is attacked by a demon  that he quickly pushes away. He checks the rock   and is shocked to see his sword isn't there. More  demons arrive and use Lucifer's sword to imprison   Michael the same way he had done to Lucifer years  ago. Meanwhile the baby continues to grow in   Laura at a supernatural speed. Liz tells Laura  that this baby will replace the one she lost,   but she refuses to call them the same. During an  ultrasound scan, Laura watches the baby on the   screen and is shocked to suddenly see him crawl  out to roar at her, but at that moment she wakes   up and understands it was only a dream. She finds  Liz sitting next to her, who wants to know if   Lucifer talks to her. Since Laura doesn't answer,  Liz begins telling the story of how Lucifer fought   the tyrant they know as God, and when Laura says  she doesn't care, Liz slaps her. Liz promises   she'll free Laura after she gives birth, but  for now, she demands respect. Moments later,   a group of kids finds Michael on the rock. It  turns out these are the failed sacrifices who have   been working together to survive in hell. Michael  promises he can take them home if they manage to   find his sword, but the kids aren't sure if they  can trust angels since Lucifer had been one too.   Unfortunately the demons interrupt the chat and  the kids run away, but a few of them get captured   and Michael can only watch with frustration.  Back in the cell, Lucifer's essence temporarily   leaves Laura's uterus and enters her mind through  her ear to make her an offer she can't refuse:   if Laura accepts him into her life, Lucifer will  help kill the guy that murdered her family and   also Liz, who Laura hates. Accepting the deal,  Laura lies down on the bed and accepts Lucifer   to take over the baby as she dreams of holding  the child and bonding with him. Liz watches all   this and begins worrying about Laura becoming too  strong. Later while a nurse runs some tests, Laura   uses her new powers to put out the light and kill  the nurse. Then she leaves the room and bumps into   another nurse, whom she immediately begins beating  up and kicking until he dies. Suddenly Laura snaps   out of Lucifer's dark hold and is terrified by  what she just did, deciding she must kill the   baby before it gets worse. This makes Lucifer ask  her not to do it while calling her "mother". Laura   ignores Lucifer's voice and runs into a janitorial  closet as guards begin chasing her. After locking   the door, Laura grabs a bottle of chlorine and  struggles against Lucifer's control to drink it.   As Laura pukes and begins wiggling in pain, Liz  kicks down the door and yells at Laura for what   she did to the baby. When she's about to leave to  find a doctor, Laura suddenly uses her powers to   close the door and push Liz to the ground to puke  on her face. It turns out Lucifer is controlling   her body now and this is him punishing Liz for  her mistakes. Liz wishes she could've been the   one to carry the baby, but Lucifer ignores her  pleas to give her new orders: after the birth,   nobody can know what happened here, so everyone  must die. He's also worried about the fact Laura   and the baby are bonding, meaning she must  be killed after the birth too. Then Laurent   arrives and Lucifer hits him as he demands  to be saved from the chlorine. Moments later,   Laura's body is put inside a healing pod.  Lucifer's essence temporarily leaves her   body and takes over a demon in hell to talk to  Michael to make fun of his failure, which is seen   by the kids from the shadows as proof Michael is  a good guy. After Lucifer leaves, Michael finally   understands why God is allowing this to happen,  and the kids come to his rescue. They aren't   strong enough to remove the demon sword from  the chains, so they go looking for Michael's   own sword. They find it among some rubble, but  before they can give it to Michael, a bunch of   demons arrive and offer freedom to the kids too.  For a moment the kids hesitate, but then they   remember what they heard and they give the sword  to Michael, who momentarily gains his old form and   kills the demons. After promising the kids he'll  come back for them soon, Michael returns to Earth   in Marconi's body and retrieves the shroud before  going back to the main building. He knocks down   a guard and steals a weapon before going to check  on Laura, only for Lucifer's voice to answer her.   Desperate to help, Michael begins pushing the  pod to take it into another room, which is seen   by a nurse. After locking the door, Michael opens  the pod and tries to explain the baby isn't what   Laura thinks, but Lucifer pushes him away with a  mighty roar. Then Lucifer guides Laura's body to   stand above Michael and announces her water has  broken before releasing the liquid on the angel,   burning his body. Michael tries to run away, but  Lucifer grabs him and holds him on Laura's lap as   he asks to be worshipped. When Michael refuses,  Lucifer stabs his neck with Laura's fingers, but   Michael won't give up and shares the conclusion he  reached: God is allowing this because if Lucifer   enters Jesus' holy body, Jesus will keep him under  his control and sealed forever. Lucifer is furious   to hear this and begins throwing a tantrum,  knocking out Michael in the process. When Liz   comes with the guards, Lucifer asks her to kill  the baby, but Liz assumes it's Laura talking again   and makes the guards take her to the altar. On top  of the well to Hell, Laura gives birth to the baby   and Liz immediately takes him away. Laura is left  alone on the well and the Beast opens the lid to   make her fall before joining the others outside.  Liz presents their new savior to Lucifer's   followers and announces he'll be baptized with  blood instead of water, then the Beast proceeds to   kill every follower, doctor, and guard. Laurent is  shocked but also glad to be spared, however after   he gets to kiss the baby's head, the Beast kills  him as well. Meanwhile Michael wakes up and breaks   the window with his weapon to escape the room. He  enters the well room and finds Laura hanging on   the edge, so he helps her up before they go after  their enemy together. Liz is about to leave with   the baby in a car, but Laura jumps on her and hits  her before reaching for the child. Liz asks for   no harm for Lucifer, and Michael explains that the  baby isn't Lucifer. The devil didn't choose Laura,   God did, and she gave birth to what will become  Lucifer's eternal prison. Laura gets in the car   and leaves to find Vincini while Michael stays  to fight because the gates to hell are now open,   meaning the demons will try to escape. Michael  rushes to the well and closes it, only to be found   by the Beast, who throws him away to start opening  the well again. Before the Beast can do so,   Michael discovers the explosives Liz left to  get rid of the evidence and activates them now,   causing an explosion that destroys the facility  and covers the hole under all the debris. Sometime   later, Vincini takes Laura and the baby to  the cathedral and they return the shroud   while Michael returns to hell to free all  the kids as promised. Years pass, and Laura   lives with Vincini in the asylum to protect the  child, who has grown well and healthy. One day,   Liz sneaks into the forest to watch the family  and tries to call for Lucifer, but when the devil   tries to escape, the child simply absorbs  him back into his body to keep him sealed.
