第 1 季，第 1 集: The archaeologists find themselves fighting for their lives when an apparent miracle makes them the target of dangerous religious zealots. Gillian doesn't give new recruit Vivian the warmest of welcomes, but leaves the eager young intern alone at their latest dig while the rest of the team has to attend an important function. The inexperienced Vivian allows a young hospice nurse to get too close and she hurts her hand on a chunk of wood at the site. The nurse later tells the press that a dying patient made a miraculous recovery when she touched him with the same hand, and to Gillian's fury, hundreds of people descend on the dig as speculation mounts that the wood was part of the True Cross that Jesus was crucified on. Radical religious leader Edward Laygass wants to find the Cross to strengthen his plan to drive out other faiths.
