Brethren, be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of his power.

Put on the armor of God that you might withstand the devil.

Take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is

word of God.

As some of you may be aware, my brother,

passed away this week.

And I wanted to thank all of you who have been so kind as to send cards and

flowers and even food.

It's greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

My thoughts are with you, Father.

God bless you, your brother, your whole family.

sister would you speak with my superior about the

they're smart in the common room

by those who mourn, for they shall be covered.

Is this another cancer?

No.

These are psychiatric reports.

This is a very complex woman.

Yes, that's the problem.

They haven't found anything abnormal.

The doctors, I mean. Well, that must be something.

Hitting at the side of a church.

How did this come to you?

They've exhausted all of the medical, biological theories.

The woman's parish wishes to attempt a solemn sacrament.

A solemn sacrament? You mean an exorcism?

And...

You would like me to perform it?

No. Some poor other soul already has that distinction.

Oh. And who is that?

Theophilus Reisinger.

Capuchin from up north, I believe.

Forgive me, Your Excellency, but if the Capuchin has already been assigned, why

bring them to me?

Well, they'd like to carry out the deed here.

Here?

Your Excellency, If this woman has seen psychiatrists, then she's... I mean...

Clearly... There must be a treatment more beneficial to

her than an exorcism. There are many new remedies for mental disorders. I was

reading an article about it. It's all been finalized.

Her address, the number of the transport, it's right there in the file.

They are expecting your call.

I understand that this is most unusual, Father, but the woman is desperate.

She's tried everything else, but she's been suffering for years, apparently.

We'll speak with the Reverend Mother tomorrow after the morning mass.

Yes, you're a manager of operations, please.

Thank you.

Yes, hello. My name is Father Joseph Steiger. I'm calling from St. Joseph's

Church in Erling.

We have a passenger who needs transporting from our home in Marathon.

have service from Marathon?

Her name is Emma Schmidt.

Ms. Schmidt has a very sensitive condition that any

unwanted influence could disrupt.

So she will need a private car, just her and the driver.

And I would appreciate your discretion.

Yes, St. Joseph's Church on Olive Street in Early.

Members of our church will be here to greet you.

Thank you.

She's asleep.

I'll bring her food when she's awake.

Thank you, sister.

Mr. Fetcher's in front of the office.

Are you Father Steiner? Yes.

Father Theopolis?

Yes. Oh, I was just on my way to the station to meet you. Oh, well, I was

waiting. Oh, I'm so sorry. I was waiting to greet you. No, no. I was detained.

No surprise.

The devil will do whatever it takes to foil our plans.

But we must be ready.

Father Theophilus. Reverend Martha. Welcome.

Thank you. Come in, please.

Have a seat.

So, I've been reading Emmett's files.

Yes.

Some very concerning behavior.

And I am not entirely convinced that the problem isn't psychological.

When the task will be handled with his little...

disruption as possible.

And I thank you, Reverend Mama, for allowing us such a safe space to treat

afflicted. Thank you.

What I need is a team of three in the room to assist with restraints,

transitions, sure pain.

Father Steiger will be taking notes, keeping an accurate chronology of

manifestations and evidences.

We will start each evening at sundown and continue until a pause is needed at

discretion.

I'm sorry.

Sit down.

She won't eat.

She won't eat.

I just wanted her room to give her her food.

She reacted violently.

Has the food been blessed?

I don't know.

Bring this to the kitchen. Have Sister Antonella prepare it.

Maybe just the rice and beets from the giveaway.

Good evening, Emma.

I'm Father Steiger. I'm the parish priest here at St.

Joseph's. You'll be seeing quite a bit of me.

Did you get a letter?

They're out.

To my mother.

You don't see her often.

No, she... She passed.

Father Steiger. Good evening, Father.

How are you settling in?

Oh, wonderful.

You have everything you need?

Yes, thank you. I'm great.

Father, regarding the restraints you mentioned, I

feel it might be safer to forego them until they can be examined.

If her condition is psychological, I feel... The problem is not

99 out of 100 times someone contacts the church, they are assessed, referred to

medical doctors.

And exorcism would do nothing for them.

This is not that.

Perhaps.

Nevertheless, I have a childhood friend who is a medical doctor in Salem. He

says he can examine Emma in a week.

I feel we should forego the restraints until then.

I do believe the restraints will be met there, but if you insist.

Thank you, Father.

Good night.

Good night, Father.

Is that well?

I'm sure that's quite apparent.

She's dehydrated.

Allergic.

Tormented.

She suffers on levels that we ourselves cannot possibly handle.

I know this is all unusual.

It's the aspect of our calling.

It will be like entering a foreign land, too.

So please, I ask you, follow my instructions to the world and

expect the unexpected.

Spiritually, emotionally, physically, though you may be new to the ways of the

enemy, the enemy's ways are not new.

They're ancient.

It is important that we work in unison. The enemy will lie.

He will.

draw our feet to sin.

He will do everything he can to sow discord amongst us.

We are the Lord's army in this battle.

We are together by his design to save one of his children. And to do that, we

must not see each other as strangers.

For us to be divided is for us to fall.

We begin with the litany.

Holy Mother of God, Holy Virgin of Virgins, St. Michael, St.

Gabriel, St.

Raphael, all holy angels and our angels, St. John the Baptist,

St. Peter, St.

Paul, St.

Andrew, St.

James, St.

John, all holy virgins, all holy saints of God.

Be merciful.

From all evil, deliver us, O Lord.

From sovereign and unprovided death. Deliver us, O Lord. From the snares of

devil. Deliver us, O Lord. From lightning and tempest. Deliver us, O

the scourge of earth.

Deliver us, O Lord. From everlasting death.

By the mischief of your holy incarnation.

By your birth. Deliver us, O Lord. By your baptism. Deliver us, O Lord.

By your holy resurrection.

Deliver us, O Lord. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy

kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive

those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us

from evil. Amen.

See, this here is cool.

how was it was there any emotion

Psalm 53.

God, by your name save me, and by your might defend my cause.

God, hear my prayer. Hearken to the words of my mouth.

For haughty men have risen up against me, and fierce men seek my life.

They set not God before their eyes.

See, God is my helper.

The Lord could change my life. Turn back the evil of my foes. In your

faithfulness, destroy them.

Freely will I offer you sacrifice.

I will praise your name, Lord, in existence.

Save your servant.

All who trust in you, my God.

Let her find in you, Lord, a fortified tower.

And let the enemy have no power over her.

Oh, but she won't be. Sisters, please.

Please.

Sit. Oh, yeah.

Emma, back to the chair, please.

I'll do it. Please.

Emma, please. Emma.

Emma, look.

Stop it. Stop it. You got to hear her.

Father? Father, please? Father?

No!

Must be restrained, Father.

I know this is new territory for you and the sisters.

My concern about restraining her without a consideration will be sure. It's done

safely for her protection and us.

Please, I've done this before.

Let the young sister rest. Another will spend in her place tomorrow.

It's the only way, Father.

I hope you're right, Father.

Father. He wanted to see me. Yes, Emma. What's happening with her? Is progress

occurring? Or progress is... That might be a better question for

Father Theophilus.

The medical report states that a portion of Sister Rose's scalp was torn from

her head.

Right here.

Sister. Oh, Father.

How are you feeling?

Um, oh, the, um, doctor in Kirkman today gave me some ointment and then

stopped your bandage.

Good. May I?

Yes, please.

Sister, I am so sorry.

Going forward, she will be restrained. Perhaps she should have been from the

start. That is my fault.

I can only apologize.

Father, I know that she is profoundly ill and not under her own

control.

But despite myself, I was angry at her, asking

myself if God is punishing her.

Or if she's punishing us for something.

I don't know.

I've never felt such bitterness.

And I'm ashamed.

Cynter, this is a profoundly new and strange situation for all of us.

You are entitled to your feelings and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Father, will you?

Thank you,

Father.

I hope you continue to feel better.

Let us pray.

God, whose nature is ever merciful and forgiving, accept our

prayer that this servant of yours may be pardoned by your loving kindness.

Holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God, and Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

who once and for all consigned that fallen and apostate tyrant to the flames

hell.

Therefore, I assure you, every unclean spirit, every speck of from him,

Every satanic power in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to cease your

thoughts against the creature who he has fought in his own honor and image.

I commend unclean spirit along with all your means now attacking

this servant of God by the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.

that you tell me by some sign your name and the day and hour of your departure.

Please, sister, look in the corner.

Speak plainly and answer me now.

Yes. Who is it? He can't talk to me.

Satis Levio, respond and look.

I need to speak with you.

What happened this evening, the ritual, how could she just... No, no, no. It

wasn't her, Father.

Well, it wasn't her.

Yes, but the symptoms she was exhibiting, it seems to be almost like

epilepsy, but there's no record of this in the file. Father, our job is to

protect the affiliate without giving the enemy any.

more advantage than is necessary.

Sometimes that will require remaining in the dark about certain things.

There is more to heaven and earth than is even dreamt of in our philosophy.

I'm Luke Shakespeare.

Good night, Father.

When time began, the Word was there, and the Word was God.

And without Him, there came to be not one thing that has come to be.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of many.

How'd you like it?

Rid

yourself

of that vile weed.

Who speaks blood?

First.

The chaplet.

Remove the chaplet!

No one here carries a chaplet.

Bring that to me.

Check the house and then you can return, sister.

Now who speaks to us?

How is your brother, father?

Tell me who you are.

He's lying in one place.

Who are you?

Your name?

Amen. Oh, Father, I'm... Sorry, I didn't tell you. No, it's quite all right.

Please.

I... I... There are things.

Should you do this?

Yeah.

What will you give me if I do what I want with you?

Sanchez.

This is getting out of hand. Look at her. She's in a dire state.

Yes. We are making it worse.

There's a medical doctor coming to see her on Monday. Why don't we just wait?

Wait, wait, wait. That's just what they want us to do. Wait, but we must

continue because if we are inconsistent, the grass will hunt like cement.

They'll devour her and you and me and all of us.

I just hope we've heard this enough.

If you do not want to participate, I accept your withdrawal.

The enemy will be delighted with your absence.

Almighty

Lord,

Word of God, the Father, Jesus Christ.

God and Lord of all creation, who along with the other mandates to work

miracles, was pleased to grant them the authority to say, Depart, you devil,

and by whose might Satan was made to fall from heaven like lightning.

I ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, who are coming to

judge the living and the dead.

And the world plays fire.

to the copay contract.

Phoebe and Evelyn and Chris Harris.

a torn scalp.

I now somehow have one with a crushed hand.

Am I to stand by while she marms another?

What is happening in there? How are we helping her? She needs a doctor, medical

attention, or something.

Do you have trouble seeing, Father?

Excuse me? Clearly you're not seeing what is happening in there.

What's coming out of this girl?

You're still looking for some rational, modern explanation.

This has existed for eternity.

I can see perfectly clearly that this girl is... It's deteriorating.

And my job here, Father, is to care for this parish and those within it. I

cannot simply sit there while you drive... Your task is to take notes.

You don't understand this.

You don't understand this, devil. It's very clear to me. You have your field,

you have your research, you have your report, but you don't understand the

enemy. What if you're wrong?

What if you're wrong? What if what she really needs is a doctor?

What if what she really needs... Is a psychiatrist.

Trust me, Father.

We are paying a price for your lack of faith. For my lack of faith? Yes.

How dare you stand there and say that my doubts are causing what is happening to

this poor girl? Because that is exactly what happened in Reading.

What are you talking about? What happened in Reading? The ritual happened

I was called to perform it.

Emma and her mother, they were desperate.

You want information?

Yes.

Then give it to me.

For your sake.

Sit.

When I first came to Redding, I had just recently become an

exorcist. I had felt I had the calling, but I was unschooled. I didn't have the

tools. Those assisting me were uneducated too.

We couldn't cope with what was happening, but we knew she was

We abandoned her. We surrendered her over to the doctors.

And she herself.

Like a miracle, Lord Milance said she would come.

She finished school. She found a passion for service, of course.

These devils, these deceivers, they were biding their time inside

her, waiting for the perfect moment. And then it came. When her mother died,

that gave them the opportunity to seize their chance.

Why would they snatch her life away? Why not somebody else?

Emma is a different kind of person, Father.

She's a person of profound sensitivity.

She is touched by something otherworldly. And with that kind of

that openness, any wound like trauma, neglect,

involvement in the dark arts, Everything that she was exposed to as a child,

that's what allows these invasions to occur, to take root,

to degrade you, to debase you, and do the same to those around you.

We are the targets too.

Their goal is to make us give up on God.

I believe.

Said too much to your father.

Now even you are susceptible.

So please, for Allah's sake, we must

continue.

We cannot abandon him like this.

I abandoned her once.

Emma?

Amongst the hardships Emma experienced were the consistent rumors and

proof that her father Jacob and her mother's sister Mina entered into an

relationship and attempted to confound Emma using witchcraft.

On several occasions, Jacob and Mina reportedly fed Emma food which had been

cursed, including fruit, baked potatoes, and tobacco.

I don't understand what is happening here. Whatever this is that you are

it is failing.

The sisters are traumatized. No one is sleeping.

Everyone for miles is frightened and suspicious.

I want to shut this down. I want to shut this whole thing down.

I will give you one more week.

And if it is not over by then, this whole whatever this is must end. We need

get back to our lives and leave all of this behind.

I wish it to be over too, Reverend Mother.

But I'm sure that the devil does not bend to our care.

Well, bend or don't bend, it will not be under this roof.

And I'm moving Emma to the cellar.

What?

Tell her, is there even heat down there? Those rooms have been out of use for

years. It's done.

She is too dangerous, too volatile. This will be better for her. It's more

private, more secure.

Father, can you excuse us, please? I need to talk to the leader of our

Father,

you don't look well.

If I didn't know better, I would say that you are losing control of the

situation.

You have invited something into this community that no one understands.

And everyone, including you, is starting to bleed.

Reverend Mother, please let me do my job.

This is my parish.

It is my responsibility.

And while I am grateful for your concern, I do not need to be watched

Thank you.

Father, all my life I've been taking direction from men, men who are not as

smart as me, not as disciplined, and whose piety pales in comparison to the

women of this convent.

I thought you were different.

But now, perhaps we do need someone who can provide the parish

with more stability.

She's malnourished and dehydrated, but I don't see any infection of the lesion,

and the facial swelling will go down.

She just needs rest.

They're keeping her alive.

They're feeding us.

There's something going on inside of her, and it's affecting all of us.

Something is happening here, and she, I don't know.

Just get as much food and water in her as possible.

And if you see any signs of infection, send word.

Take care of yourself, John.

Is this how it started?

No, no. When she first arrived, she was very thin.

There were scratches, but nothing like this.

And the doctor says there's no basis for committing her.

Committing her?

Well, I don't know.

What I do know is...

Then she continues to worsen, and if we do nothing, if she

receives no medical attention, then she is almost certainly going to...

What?

She's going to what? She's going to die.

She's going to die. Calm down.

Last thing this parish needs is a priest breaking down outside.

I know that your brother's passing away is heavily on you, but you are the

parish priest.

And you need to lead.

Oh, Father.

Sister.

Please.

I'm just preparing for the next ritual.

So Sister Maria can rest.

Have you ever felt alone?

I just do.

I was trying to pray the best person.

It didn't feel like anyone was listening.

I could offer you some salient wisdom.

But the truth is...

Through him.

It's fine.

I should go.

Holy Lord. Almighty Father.

Everlasting God.

And Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who once and for all consigned that fallen and apostate tyrant to the flames

hell.

Who sent your only begotten son into the world to crush the growing line.

Strike terror, Lord. Father, we have to stop. Father, please stop.

Father, we can't. Father, please.

Fill your servants with courage to fight manfully against that reprobate dragon.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I humbly call on your holy name.

We enter asking that you grant me your unworthy servant pardon for

all my sins.

Steadfast faith and the power supported by your mighty God.

She would be dietated.

She needs to replenish her fluid.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen. Amen.

motion.

Mr. Rose?

Mr. Rose!

I feel like I'm being drawn into something and I can't eat, I can't

can't think, Father, I can't think.

Sit down, Father.

And Emma, Emma, how does Emma know of

my brother?

He took his own life, Father.

A month ago, he took his own life. He was in so much pain. He was in so much

pain, Father.

And none of us knew.

And it was too late. He was crying out. And I couldn't help him because I was so

preoccupied. I was caught up in my...

is the enemy's mission. To make us doubt ourselves, grant a purpose on earth,

and most important, cause us suffering.

I had a sister, you know, Claire.

Disease was all over Europe.

Cholera, smoke pox.

Polio.

I was old enough. I survived.

But, man, we didn't.

After we lost Claire, all the pain continued.

A year.

Big, it feels like a year. Rising fascism, you name it.

Most of my family succumbed to the tabloid.

It's what brought me here to this country years ago.

And that's what brought me to my calling.

You understand?

This grief, all this suffering, John's in the desert, John of Iraq, yours,

mine, your brother's, Emma's, everybody's.

It may look bleak, but these trials, these temptations, they fortify

us for a greater good, to grow into those we are destined to be.

A raison d 'etre.

raison d 'etre.

Yes.

I thought I was just supposed to be taking notes.

I'm just making things worse, Father.

You're not a spectator, Father.

You are pleased.

You must understand your own importance, please. Your faith, your intelligence.

You commit me. I don't understand my faith.

Remember, Father, Emma had no one.

No parish wanted any part of her.

They wouldn't touch her.

Yet you and the Reverend Mother and the faith, you

all accepted this task like great warriors because when the

word of the Lord is spoken through us with commitment and

passion, even Satan must listen.

Like St. Michael defending the glory of God in battle.

It's the most awful thing we have.

I found a St. Michael medallion in my brother's things.

I was looking through them the other night.

My brother's name was...

I wrote this letter before I came.

Would you place it on my mother's grave in bedding?

You are blessed to hear yourself, not Emma.

You're holding on too tight, Father.

I won't hear you, Kendall.

Please.

I owe it to you I owe it to my mother

Emma's condition is dire.

These devils, they found their way into her core, her

sinew.

So once we begin tonight, we can't stop it.

Because if we let up or give the enemy time to bend, we will lose her forever.

So if you need a moment.

To rest, go.

If you need water, food, or fresh air, take rest.

We must be resolute because we are the ones that stand in the breach and

hold back the darkness.

Even if it means we don't come back from it.

Attention Beelzebub and all manner of groups and aliens

tormenting this woman in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Let your mighty hand cast him out of your sermon

so he may no longer hold... Sister, do not

listen.

That's why I can't stand it.

Grandma, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Jesus would never allow my grandmother to talk to you through a snake.

Don't lie to me, you damn beast!

You're going to kill your own grandma.

You're going to kill your own grandma. You're going to kill your own grandma.

Thank you. Thank

you.

... ... ...

...

...

Come on, pick him.

Put that in.

Where is she?

She's in the catacombs.

Tell everyone else to get into their rooms.

Yes, sir.

What is happening?

A date.

Where did she go? The catacombs, I think.

Go, go. I'll tell the sisters. Go.

Sisters, come.

Come quickly. Tonight's a hit.

Emma? Emma?

Emma?

It's alright, it's alright. Come, we'll be safer in here.

Sister!

We found her! She's

here!

She's not breathing.

I don't know.

There's no sign of her.

We need more like that.

In the young man's dress.

It is good

that it is now.

It is God himself who commands it.

God the Father commands you. God the Son commands you. God the Holy Spirit

commands you. It is he who commands you. He who brought still the sea and the

wind and the storm.

I can therefore tremble in fear. Say, you enemy of the faith. You

foe of the human race. See the light above.

See the light.

You corruptor of justice.

You root of all.

You are guilty before his

son. Guilty before the whole human race. He who is coming to judge the

living and the dead and the world by fire.

Look at the light.

Depart, Jake.

Betrayer of Jesus Christ!

And

all

creatures of hell will be descended with God!

Depart!

Depart!

Everyone, don't let go.

You don't want to cry.

That kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

and have arms against the rules of the world of darkness.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our

Amen. Hold the handmaidens of the Lord, we can tell them to be a burden to thy

people.

Carry our prayers up to God's throne, that the mercy of the Lord may correctly

come, and lay hold of the Satan and his demons, casting him into chains, into

the abyss, so that he can no longer seduce the nations. He has cast you

into the outer darkness.

in which you are guilty before His Son, our Lord.
