盖布丽(安琪拉·琼斯 Angela Jones 饰)的童年里有一段非常可怕的经历,年幼的她曾经在凶杀现场亲眼目睹死尸。这一段奇异的人生经历让盖布丽开始对尸体和死亡产生了好奇之心,这股子好奇随着她年龄的增大越发强烈起来,盖布丽甚至会特意的收藏报纸上的谋杀新闻做成剪报册,时时翻阅温习。 迈阿密接连发生凶杀案,被害者均是养尊处优的阔太太,而且无不身首异处。这起连环杀人案件很快就吸引了盖布丽的注意,为了能够更加接近命案现场,盖布丽来到了一间专门清理命案现场的保洁公司应聘成为了员工,并且在机缘巧合之下同连环杀人犯(威廉·鲍德温 William Baldwin 饰)有了一面之缘。
迈克·科瓦克(科林·奥多霍诺 Colin O'Donoghue 饰)是一个出身葬仪家庭的神学院学生,但是他的心中始终找不到任何信仰的依附。偶然机缘,迈克被派往梵蒂冈参加一个驱魔师的培训课程。对上帝尚且心怀疑惑,何况玄之又玄的驱魔仪式,迈克以科学的角度和授课老师展开辩论。在老师的推荐下,他前去拜访了因驱魔而名声显赫的卢卡斯·特雷万神父(安东尼奥·霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰)。虽然亲身经历了卢卡斯神父的驱魔仪式,但是他依然不相信魔鬼的存在,直到一系列匪夷所思的事情在其身上发生,迈克灵魂的深处才真正发生了动摇…… 根据Matt Baglio的小说《仪式:现代驱魔人的制造》改编,故事灵感来自真实事件。
Massive machines require engineering extremes. The massive man-made satellite, commonly known as the International Space Station, hurtling around the Earth at 27,600 km an hour, has been a temporary home for humans for the last 20 years. The biggest land vehicle on earth, a bucket excavator titled Bagger 293, that can move 240,000 cubic meters of dirt each day. Innovation has always meant building bigger, faster, taller, longer and stronger than anything that came before. We’ve seen them in dramatic visual fashion. But how do these actually work? What sets each machine apart. What big ideas drove its evolution and what limitations did this machine overcome? What forces was it built to withstand and where is the breaking point? Using CGI and expert insights, we ‘strip down’ the design of some of the world’s unique colossal machines and reveal mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way! Each episode explores four incredible machines, linked thematically. From sea and space faring designs, to mega airborne, mining and industrial machines, we’ll break down what they can do as well as key inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible. Dynamic archival footage featuring; slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. Adding expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers to help reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.
