A former Navy EOD diver takes a final solo contract to clear a flooded, half-submerged monastery in Estonia, where he encounters an ancient, sorrowful entity that forces him to confront his unresolved grief. After a surreal encounter with the creature, he chooses to walk away and report the job complete, leaving the site intact. The episode then shifts to a journalist documenting the ecological recovery in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, who discovers a disturbing, unidentifiable shape in his photos and becomes separated from his guide in a decaying hospital.
