THE FOLLOWNG IS BASED ON TRUE EVENTS.

THE EVENTS DEPICTED WERE TRANSCRIBED BY FATHER JOSEPH STEIGER.

THE STORY REPRESENTS THE MOST THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED CASE OF DEMONIC POSSESSION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

NINE DAYS EARLIER.

Brethren

He 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 the Word of God.

As some of you may be aware, my brother passed away this week,

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.

I'm proud to work for you, Father.

God bless you, your brother, your whole family.

Thank you, Joseph.

Good morning, Sister.

Good morning.

Sister, would you speak with Mother Superior about the...

There is more in the common room.

Would you have a moment?

Maybe I will.

Your Excellency.

Ah.

How are you getting on?

Ah, well, yes.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Is this another transfer?

No.

These are psychiatric reports.

This is a very troubled woman.

Yes, that's the problem.

They haven't found anything abnormal.

The doctors, I mean.

Well, there must be something.

Hissing at the side of the church, that's...

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.

Ah.

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 this to me?

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

Here?

Your Excellency, if this woman has seen psychiatrists, then she's...

Clearly, there must be treatment more beneficial to her than an exorcism.

There are many new remedies for mental disorders.

It's all been finalized.

Her address, 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.

Everyone else.

Yes, your 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.

Do you have service from Marathon?

Good.

What's her name?

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 Erling.

Members of our church will be here to greet her.

She's asleep.

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

Thank you, sister.

Mr. Fetcher, this is Father Theophilus.

Oh, are you Father Steiger?

Yes.

Father Theophilus?

Yes.

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

Oh, well, I was waiting and then...

I'm so sorry, I wasn't going to greet you.

No, no.

I was detained.

It's no surprise.

The devil will do whatever it takes to foil our plans, and we must be ready.

Father Theophilus.

Reverend Martha.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Come in, please.

Have a seat.

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

Yes.

Some very concerning behavior.

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

Well, the task will be handled with as little disruption as possible.

And I thank you, Reverend Martha, for allowing us such a safe space to treat the afflicted.

Thank you.

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

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 my discretion.

I'm sorry.

Sister.

She...

She won't eat.

What's happened, Sister?

What?

She won't eat.

I just went in her room to give her her food, and then she ate.

And she reacted violently.

She almost hissed like a cat.

I've never heard anything like it.

I just...

I don't know.

I don't know how.

Has the food been blessed?

I don't...

I don't know.

Bring this to the kitchen.

Have Sister Antonella prepare it.

Maybe it's the rice and beans from the giveaway.

And tell her not to bless the food.

Thank you, Sister.

Good evening, Ella.

I'm Father Steiger.

I'm the parish priest here at St. Joseph's.

You'll be seeing quite a bit of me.

You're very welcome here.

Nice to meet you.

Is it your letters?

They're...

To my mother.

You don't see her often?

No, she...

She passed.

Last night.

But the money paid.

I'm so sorry.

Never mind.

Thank you.

God bless you guys.

Good night, Ella.

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 Emma can be examined.

If her condition is psychological, I feel...

The problem is not psychological.

Ninety-nine out of a hundred times someone contacts the church, they are assessed, referred to medical doctors.

An 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 necessary, but if you insist.

Thank you, Father.

Good night.

Good night, Father.

Emma is not well.

I'm sure that's quite apparent.

She's dehydrated.

Allergic.

Tormented.

She suffers on levels that we ourselves cannot possibly fathom.

I know this is all unusual, this aspect of our calling.

It will be like entering a foreign land to you.

So please, I ask you, follow my instructions to the word.

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 us into 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.

And we say to him, this I.

We begin with the litany.

Holy Mother of God.

Holy Virgin of virgins.

Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael.

All holy angels and our angels.

Saint John the Baptist, Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Saint Andrew, Saint James, Saint John.

All holy virgins.

All holy saints of God.

Intercede for us.

Be merciful.

Be merciful.

Graciously hear us, O Lord.

From all evil, deliver us, O Lord.

From sudden and unprovided death.

Deliver us, O Lord.

From the snares of the devil.

Deliver us, O Lord.

From lightning and tempest.

Deliver us, O Lord.

From the scourge of earthquake.

From everlasting death.

Deliver us, O Lord.

By the mystery 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.

Get sort of her today.

Please.

Return her to bed.

See that she is calm.

Be cool this evening.

Yes, Father.

Emma?

Emma?

Let's get her back into bed.

Come on.

Thank you, sisters.

Sister Rose.

Sister Rose.

How was it?

Was there any commotion?

It was fine, sisters.

It was fine.

It was fine.

Excuse me.

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 sustains my life.

Turn back the evil upon my foes.

In your faithfulness, destroy them.

Freely will I offer you sacrifice.

I will praise your name.

For it is goodness.

Save your servant.

All who trust in you, my God.

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

In the face of the enemy.

In the face of the enemy.

Let the enemy have no power over her.

And the Son of Man will be powerless.

Sisters, please.

Sisters.

Back to the chair.

Please.

Emma.

Please, Emma.

Emma, look.

Father.

Emma, come with me.

Something.

You go with her, okay?

Father.

Father, please.

No, Emma.

No.

Please.

No.

No, Emma.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Father, what happened tonight, it cannot be allowed.

You and I, we have to...

She cannot be permitted just to grab at a sister.

She must be restrained, Father.

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

My concern about restraining her was out of consideration.

We'll be sure it's done safely for her protection and us Please I've done this before.

Let the young sister is another will stand in her place tomorrow It's the only way father.

I Hope you're right Father.

Father.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, Emma, what's happening with her?

Is this progress occurring? or?

Progress, yes. 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?

Hello, Father.

How are you feeling?

The doctor and Kirkman today give me some ointment,

And a subject 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 was 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.

Sister 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!

Of course.

They could have solved with the goddess to receive any party Philly is good to some Tiana.

Thank you father.

I hope you continue to feel better.

Sister,

You see, when we do this, the secret's over.

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 of hell.

Sister Susan, keep your hand turned.

Careful to watch him.

Thanks.

Father, this is a serious matter.

Keep your hand towards him.

Yes, sir.

Whatever.

Stay back.

Therefore, I adjure you, every unclean spirit, every specter from hell, every satanic power,

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to cease your assaults against the creature whom he has brought in his own honor,

The lineage.

I command you, unclean spirit, along with all your minions, now attack 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.

Speak plainly and answer me now.

Keep your daughter's face shut.

Satislevio.

Respond.

Father, I need to speak with you.

What happened this evening, the ritual, how could she just...

No, no, no, it wasn't her, Father.

What?

It wasn't her.

Yes, but the symptoms she was exhibiting, it seems to be almost like an epilepsy, but there's no record of this in the files, Father.

Our job is to protect the afflicted 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 on earth than is even dreamt of in our philosophy.

I'm the Shakespeare.

Good night, Father.

When time began, the World was there, and the World 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 men.

It's a bucket.

Hide your bucket.

Huh?

Rid yourself of that vile weed.

Who speaks to us?

First, remove the chaplet.

Remove the chaplet!

No one here carries a chaplet.

Bring that to the chapter house, and then you can return, Sister.

Now, who speaks to us?

I was your brother, Father.

Tell me who you are.

You're still hanging on by a thread.

Who are you?

Tell me your name.

Tell me your name!

Tell me your name!

Your name.

What do you want from me?

Get out of my way!

You are mine.

Tell me why you have decided to do this to her.

Sister.

Sister.

No.

No.

No.

Come in.

Father, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

No, it's quite all right.

Please, I...

I...

I just was...

What are these?

Did you do those?

Yes.

What will you give me if I do a family virtue?

Sensuous.

Oh, Father.

Oh, it's such a warm clothes.

Not too hot.

And extra pillows.

Father, what are we doing?

This is getting out of hand.

Look at her.

She is in a dire state.

Yes.

We are making it worse.

There is a medical doctor coming to see her on Monday.

Why don't we just wait?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's just what they want.

That's what they want us to do, is wait.

But we must continue, because if we are inconsistent, they grasp it hard, like cement.

And they'll devour her, and you, and me, and all of us.

I just think we've hurt her in this state.

Enough.

If you do not want to participate, Father, I accept you with joy.

The enemy will be delighted with your absence.

I do not fear.

Father, it must be him.

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 devils,

And by whose might Satan was meant to fall from heaven like lightning.

I ask this through you, Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, who are coming to judge the human and the dead.

In the world by fire.

Cease your diverions. Tell me to whom I speak.

I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood.

You are Judas?

Why are you tormenting this poor soul?

So she rots from the inside and slaughters herself like a pig.

You want her to take her own life? And who else haunts this woman?

Father.

Silence.

Unclean spirits, now haunting this woman.

Give her your name.

See the cross of the Lord, and reveal yourself.

Reveal yourself.

Reveal yourself.

I'm asleep.

Sister, help.

Help.

I can't lift her.

Out now.

Out.

I have a sister with a torn scalp.

I now somehow have one with a crushed hand.

Am I to stand by while she harms 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?

It's clear that 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 deteriorating.

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

I cannot simply sit there while you drive the...

Your task is to take notes.

You don't understand this.

You don't understand these devils.

It's very clear to me.

What devils are you talking about?

you have your research, you have your reports, 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 Redding.

What are you talking about?

What happened in Redding?

The ritual happened there.

I was called to the foreman's.

Emma and her mother, they were desperate.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

You knew Emma as a young girl?

Yes.

You didn't think to tell us?

You didn't think that might be information that could be useful to us?

Why is that not in Emma's file?

This is what I'm talking about, Father.

All these mystical, cryptic sayings.

You keep feeding us information as you see fit.

This has to end, Father, now.

All right.

You want information?

Yes.

Then give it to me.

For your sake.

Sit.

Listen to me, Father.

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 possessed.

We abandoned her.

We surrendered her over to the doppers, and she herself, like a miracle, wrote me letters, said she was coming.

She finished school.

She found a passion for service, of course.

These devils, these deceivers, they were buying 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, Emma?

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 vulnerability,

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, us, Father.

We are the targets, too.

Their goal is to make us give up on God.

I really said too much to you, Father.

Now even you are susceptible.

So please, for all our sake, we must continue.

We cannot abandon Emma like this.

No.

I abandoned her once, and I'll do it again.

Emma?

Amongst the hardships Emma experienced,

Were the consistent rumors and subsequent proof that her father Jacob and her mother's sister Mina;

Entered into an illicit 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 leaves.

Father, there's something you need to see.

What is she doing?

What is she doing?

You don't understand what is happening here.

Whatever this is that you are doing, 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 to get back to our lives and leave all of this behind.

I wish to be over too, Reverend Mother.

But I'm sure it will not bend to our current.

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

And I'm moving Emma to the cellar.

What?

The cellar?

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 parish.

Father, you don't look well.

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

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

And everyone, including you, is starting to believe...

Please, 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 over.

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.

They thought you were different.

But now, perhaps we do need someone who can provide the parish with more stability.

Get up!

She's malnourished and dehydrated, but I don't see any infection on the lesions, and the facial swelling will go down.

She just needs rest.

They're keeping her alive.

They're feeding off her.

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

Something is happening here, and 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.

We got it evident.

That poor, poor creature.

Her condition.

Is this how it started?

No.

When she first arrived, she was very thin. And..

There were scratches, but nothing, nothing like this.

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

Committing her?

Uh, well, I, I, I don't know.

Um...

What I do know is that she continues to worsen, and if we do...

Nothing.

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

What?

Well, almost certainly she...

She's going to what?

She's going to die.

No, she's...

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 weighs heavily on you, but you are the parish priest, and you need to lead.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Hello, Father.

Sister.

Please.

I was just...

Preparing for today's ritual.

Will the Sister Mary compress me?

Preparing?

Can I ask you a question?

Have you ever felt at home?

I just do.

I was trying to pray the Vespers, and...

It didn't feel like anyone was listening.

Well, I wish I could offer you some salient wisdom.

But the truth is...

The truth is...

I don't know what I'm doing.

To say to 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 of hell.

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

Strike terror, Lord, into...

Father, we have to stop.

Father, please.

Father, we can't.

Father, please.

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

Charlotte.

Her skin against yours.

If Simon tries to fuck you, you better open wide, you stupid whore!

Almighty Lord.

Word of God, the Father of Jesus Christ.

God in multiple creation.

Are you leaving your post so soon, Father?

Who gave to yours?

Well, there's a little chameleon right there.

Perhaps you can reunite with your dear departed brother.

Shut up!

Shut up!

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

This has to stop.

This has to stop.

Josh, get up.

Catch your breath.

I humbly call on your holy name.

Here, enter.

Asking that you grant me your unworthy servant.

Pardon for all my sins.

Stand fast to me and the power supported by your mighty arm.

This cruel woman can not match you.

No, no, no, no.

We have to turn her.

Turn her aside.

She must not talk.

Oh, my God.

Amy?

She will need a higher priority.

She needs to replenish her fluid.

It's fine.

In the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amber.

Amber.

Amber.

Amy.

Amy.

Shit.

Let's go.

Her suffering shall be laid at your feet.

How did you find us?

If you continue, your days left on Earth will be few.

Sister Rose?

Sister Rose?

What was that about?

I don't know what's happening.

What?

I don't know what's happening.

Chris, come here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I feel like I'm being drawn into something.

I can't eat.

I can't sleep.

Sit down.

Sit down.

And Emma?

Emma, she haunts me.

She haunts me.

How does she know?

How does Emma know of my brother?

He...

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.

That none of us knew.

It was too late.

He was crying out.

I was so preoccupied.

I was caught up in myself.

Stop it, please.

Sit down.

I'm sorry, Father.

I'm sorry, Father.

I love you.

Here.

Drink this.

Here.

This is the enemy's mission.

To make us doubt ourselves.

To out...

Our purpose on Earth.

And most important, cause us suffering.

I had a sister, you know.

Claire.

Disease was all over Europe.

Cholera, smallpox, polio.

I was old enough.

I survived.

But, man, we didn't.

After we lost Claire, all the pain continued for years.

Pigetry, censorship, rising fascism, you name it.

Most of my family succumbed to the turmoil.

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

And that's what brought me to my calling.

Do you understand, Father?

This grief, all this suffering.

Jobs in the desert, Joan of Arc, 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.

If you're not a spectator, Father, you are police.

You must understand your own importance, please.

Your faith, your intelligence, your commitment.

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 sisters, 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 Saint Michael defending the glory of God in battle.

It's the most powerful work we have.

They found the Saint Michael medallion in their brother's things.

I was looking through them the other night.

My brother's name was Michael.

What?

What?

So I, uh, I wrote this letter before I came.

Would you place it on my mother's grave at night?

You will place it there yourself, not Emma.

You're holding on too tight, Father.

I want to hear that, Emma.

Please.

I owe it to you.

I owe it to my mother.

It's taken.

But it's gone.

It's gone.

Emma's condition is this devil's.

They found their way into her core, her sinew.

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

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

Forever.

Forever.

So if you need a moment to rest, go.

If you need water or 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.

Please help me.

Let your mighty hand cast him out of your sermon.

They are torturing me.

So he may no longer hold.

Sister.

But listen.

Please help me. I can't take it.

Grandma, forgive me.

Please, stop!

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

Don't lie to me, you damn beast!

You're going to poison your own friend and you're going to rot in hell, you damn bitch!

I'll kill you!

Calm.

Calm.

Calm down.

I drown in one and I'll reach one stream over the next.

The sounds of their gasps were like music in my ears.

And Jesus was laughing right along with me.

Leave this servant of God, and be gone!

Let your Sisters be cut, bruised, and degraded?

How could you let this happen?

You've destroyed their spirits...

Their spirits will never be destroyed. They're too strong for you.

Sisters, what happened?

She was just...

came across like a...

What happened?

Where is she?

She's in the catacombs.

Tell everyone else to get into their rooms.

Yes, Father.

What is happening?

Emma's escaped.

Where did she go?

The catacombs, I think.

Go, go.

I'll tell the sisters.

Go.

Sisters, come.

Come quickly to my chambers.

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

It's all right.

It's all right.

Come, we'll be safer in here.

Emma?

Emma.

Emma.

Emma.

Emma.

It's all right.

It's all right.

She's here.

I found her.

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

Sister?

Sister?

We found her.

She's here.

Oh, she's...

I don't know.

I can't fully believe it.

There's no sign of her.

She's not breathing.

Her pulse is very faint.

No, no, no.

She can't die.

She can't die.

No.

It must be to us.

Something's blocking her breath.

We need more light.

Come, come.

Yes, get her out.

Please get her out.

Emma?

Wake up.

Emma, you're not dying.

It's too late.

It is God himself who commands you, God the Father commands you,

God the Son commands you, God the Holy Spirit commands you, it is he who commands you,

He who cuts still the sea and the wind and the storm, how can therefore tremble in fear, save you, you enemy of the faith,

You foe of the human race, see the light, see the light, you corruptor of justice, you looter of all trouble, false,

You begetter of death, you robber of life, you are guilty of your own fighting God, guilty before his Son,

Guilty before the whole human race, he who is coming to judge from the living and the dead, and the world by fire,

Emma, look at the light, Eva, depart Jake, depart Peter, depart Judas,

Betrayer of Jesus Christ, depart this movie of satanists, leviathans, the elves of God,

And all witches of hell, Listen to God, depart! depart!

Emma, don't let go, you are the voice of God, you are right, Emma,

Emma, Emma, I have you, I have you,

Saint Michael the Archangel, the illustrious leader of the Holy Army, who fed us in the battle against principalities,

And powers against the rulers of the world of darkness,

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, come into the hour of our death, Amen.

All that have faith in the Lord, our prayers are to God's throne,

That the mercy of the Lord may quickly come, and make whole of the satan and his demons,

Casting them into chains, into the abyss, so that he can no longer seduce the nations,

He has cast you forth into the hour of darkness, where everlasting ruin awaits,

You are guilty before his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who do you dare to nail to the cross,

You are guilty before of the whole human race,

to whom you traffered by your enticements the poison cup of death.

Therefore, I adjure you, trumpeted dragon,

In the name of the spotless Lamb, to depart this world,

And to depart from this to hell.

Emma.

Emma.

Did you drowning of?

DEBATE PERSISTS ABOUT THE NATURE OF EMMA'S SCHMIDT'S CONDITION:

SOME BELIEVE HER AFFLICTION WAS MEDICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL. WHILE OTHER BELIEVE SPIRITUAL FORCES WERE AT PLAY.

AFTER THE EVENTS OF 1928. SHE REPORTEDLY LIVED OUT THE REST OF HER LIFE PEACEFULLY.

FATHER STEIGER AND FATHER THEOPHILUS CONTINUED PRACTICING THEIR FAITH UNTIL THEIR DEATHS MANY YEARS LATER.

FATHER THEOPHILUS WAS PROFILED IN TIME MAGAZINE,

AND FATHER STEIGER'S NOTES SERVED AS THE INSPIRATION FOR COUNTLESS ARTICLES, BOOKS AND FILMS.

THE 1928 EXORCISM OF EMMA SCHMIDT REMAINS THE MOST THOROUGHLY

DOCUMENTED AND WELL-KNOWN EXORCISM IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
