The Exorcist

Previously, on The Exorcist...

We believe an exorcism should be granted.

This girl needs psychiatric attention.

Your excommunication.

You're to relinquish your collar,

your right to serve mass, to take communion.

The string of murders on the south side of the city.

Nine victims, Bennett.

Heart, eyes, genitals, hands and feet

are materials needed to perform vicari pulvari.

Has the church been compromised?

I don't know.

You have some friends in this town.

They can help you.

Father Marcus,

the one we feared,

until you lost that little boy.

Who's Jessica?

What else don't I know about? 'Cause the demon will.

Break it off with her, Thomas.

How's Jim?

It's not fine, you know this.

I-I can't then.

For Saint Anthony's,

and your not-depleted parish.

You want it rough, all you got to do ask.

Oh!

Casey!

Casey!

Casey!

Mom?

You gave me a start, sweetheart.

You certainly took your time getting up this morning, didn't you?

You know what they say,

the last one up is a rotten egg.

You're cooking?

Don't act so surprised.

Your favorite omelet.

Ooh, that's lucky.

Why don't you go join your Father and sister at the table?

This will be ready in a jiff.

Dad, what are you doing?

Just my job, Button.

Don't be jealous, Case.

It's true, Button.

Every girl can't be a swan.

Okay.

Dig in, Buttercup.

You're being ungracious, dear.

Not to mention rude to your family.

Picky eaters, they grow up to be depressives

and sexual anorexics, you know.

Try it. You'll like it.

Why resist, darling?

This isn't like you said it'd be.

Something's not right here.

See what you made me do?

Do you think I want to hurt you?

You force me to do this when you resist.

Now, I know it's difficult,

but you really must give in completely.

So say yes.

One tiny little word.

Yes...

- No, no! No! No! - Casey.

- No! No! - Casey.

- No. - Casey.

72 hours?

That is the length of the hold, yes.

Are you saying there's nothing we can do about that?

This incident on the train,

um, the police have the authority to

involuntarily confine someone like your daughter,

who may be a danger to herself or others.

No, you don't understand.

E.R. cleaned her up. We'll evaluate her.

We're gonna do everything we can for your daughter.

When can we see her?

Right. Um, there's no visitors allowed on a 5150.

But you are welcome to stay here if you want, long as you like.

She's in great hands.

I mean, maybe this is a good thing.

They're gonna do tests and figure out what's wrong with her.

I'm gonna get everyone coffee.

Henry, this hospital...

It was the closest one to the train.

It's gonna be fine.

_

May I help you?

Good morning, Sister.

I was hoping that I might speak with the abbess.

The abbess has taken a vow of silence.

Of course.

Uh, what time is her hour of respite?

She does take one, doesn't she?

Otherwise, I mean, she'd go a bit...

Mother Bernadette is very busy.

She rarely accepts visitors.

Bennett sent me.

My name's Marcus Keane.

The garden. Around the side.

Henry, I came as soon as I heard.

- Are you okay? - Me?

I don't know. But Casey...

I've never seen anything like it.

Father, did the bishop approve the exorcism?

They were not convinced.

They said no?

I've been forbidden from...

taking further action other than prayer and advisement.

So what you're saying is you're useless to us.

Ange.

- I'm doing everything I can. - What about your friend, Marcus?

If you can't help us, maybe he can.

Marcus is gone, excommunicated.

So, yes, unfortunately, I'm all you got.

Father, these doctors are telling me

that I can't do anything for her.

I can't even see her for the next...

60-something hours.

And the longer she's in there,

this thing festers.

Please, doctors and tests are not what she needs.

- This isn't fair, Father. - I will find a way.

There is someone I can talk to.

Have faith in me.

How is she?

Uh, well, we've made some progress.

There's no intracranial bleeding or temporal lobe epilepsy.

So, progress in terms of ruling things out.

Find anything you'd rule in?

It's a process, Mrs. Rance.

She's severely dehydrated, and...

there is the genital trauma.

Genital trauma?

We found burns.

I don't understand. Who are you?

Dr. Rho, psychiatric attending.

We're concerned the trauma might be self-inflicted.

Is there history of mental illness in the family? Schizophrenia...

No mental illness.

What I don't understand is this law

that allows you to stumble around looking for explanations,

when, clearly, she's not getting better.

I understand your frustration. We're frustrated, too.

But there are some more tests we can run. And in the meantime,

we're giving her fluids and we're keeping her as comfortable as...

Just hang in there.

Watch.

Holy Mary.

Holy Mary.

Holy Mother of God.

Mother of the Church.

Mother of Divine Grace.

Mother most pure.

Mother most chaste.

Mother inviolate.

Mother undefiled.

Mother most amiable.

Mother most admirable.

Mother of good counsel.

Mother of our Creator.

Mother of our Savior.

O vriziol maiz, offeret hoc liuionz limix.

Brazchia inferorum...

reverta ad tronziol...

Ninxia nigrum, liberati a conchsis.

Son of the morning, banished from grace.

Profane thing, ashes on the earth.

You are relieved, outcast.

Fallen angel, you are loved.

Restrain him before he rises again.

We must go.

Come with me.

Is the Abbess ready to receive me?

The Abbess is resting.

So was I.

The sisters have work to do in the garden...

and your presence is... undesired.

Now, there's a... a young woman

whose life might depend on my speaking with her.

There are many who depend on Mother Bernadette's aid.

She'll speak to you when she's ready.

Does she know Bennett sent me?

I don't suppose I could use your...

Nuns. Bog.

_

"Rego."

Miss Faye knows you're sad,

but God don't put us through nothing that we cannot bear, pretty thing.

You got to get stronger if you want to get out of here.

Isn't she sweet? She called you "pretty."

Take a deep breath for me. You won't feel a thing.

No one in their right mind

would call you "pretty" now.

If I had a mirror, you'd see what resistance is doing to your lilac face,

your snow white body.

That's strange. Can't find a vein.

It'll be in in a minute.

Just one more try.
