Emily!
You're the medical examiner?
Mr. Rose?
I'm sorry, Mr. Rose...
...but I cannot state conclusively...
...that the cause of death was natural.
Your daughter, she...
Excuse me, Father?
Father Moore.
You'll have to come with me.
- Father Moore! - Will you plead guilty?
- Tell us about the exorcism! - Over here, Father Moore!
We're at Crescent County Courthouse. We show you Father Richard Moore...
- What about the parents? - They're not talking to the police.
Do we charge them?
No. Even the priest admits he ran the show.
We need a Christian on this.
Preferably a Catholic.
Somebody that knows this shit inside out...
...and who the public will see as unbiased.
We're going after a holy man here.
Ethan Thomas.
He's not Catholic, though. Methodist, I think.
But the guy practically lives at church. Choir, teaches Sunday school.
He's no choirboy in the courtroom. I've seen him tear people up.
He's a shrewd son of a bitch.
All right, pull him off whatever he's doing. He's lead prosecutor.
There's ambition. She never stops. She even works while she drinks.
- Gentlemen, you know Erin Bruner. - Of course.
- Hello. - I was so sure Van Hopper would fry...
...but you proved me wrong, lady.
The system worked, that's all.
Gentlemen, you'll excuse us, will you?
Have you seen the news about this priest?
I heard something about an exorcism gone bad, but I don't know the details.
The DA charged him with negligent homicide.
They offered a very reasonable plea bargain, but the priest turned it down.
Do not ask me to take this...
The archdiocese specifically requested you.
- Why me? - They followed the Van Hopper trial.
They think you're smart...
...and convincing.
They want you to ask the priest to reconsider.
Well, what if he won't?
This sounds like a quagmire. If I'm smart, I'll leave it alone.
Erin, the Van Hopper case got you back on the fast track.
Once again, you're a rising star.
- Chivas, neat, please. - Tanqueray martini, dry.
- What are you saying? - I'm saying, you do this for me...
...and the rising star keeps rising.
The case is yours.
And just how high do I get to rise this time?
I've been junior partner for too long now, Karl.
- It's not like other firms haven't called. - Erin...
I want my name on the door, right next to yours.
Okay.
Try to get the deal.
If the priest won't and this goes to trial...
...the archdiocese feels he could be an embarrassment.
So under no circumstances is he to testify.
No, of course. If I'd put Van Hopper on the stand...
...he'd be marking time on death row instead of sunbathing in Miami.
His tab.
Good morning, I'm Erin Bruner.
May I sit down?
They brought the chair for my public defender.
I guess they left it when they decided I wasn't going to kill myself with it.
My firm represents the archdiocese.
Yes.
Yes, I was expecting them to send someone.
- Why did they choose you? - I wanted this case.
- So you like the spotlight? - I'm used to it.
I defended James Van Hopper.
And now you've come to further your celebrity.
No.
I'm here to make senior partner at my firm.
- Are you a Catholic? - No.
I'm an agnostic, I guess. I'm not really sure.
If you're not sure, then you are one.
I don't think you're the right attorney. I'll stick with my public defender.
He can't get the DA to get you a better deal. I can.
I won't be making any plea agreement.
If you don't, the archdiocese won't post your bail.
You'll be stuck in here for the trial.
Do you understand how long they can put you away?
It's been explained to me.
The DA's office doesn't like it when religion holds itself above the law.
And this prosecutor, Ethan Thomas?
You're gonna need somebody hungry and smart...
...and aggressive to even have a chance.
What would your strategy be to defend me against such a formidable man?
- That depends. - On what?
On how you wanna be defended.
What's your main concern, other than staying out of jail?
- Is it how you're being portrayed? - I don't care about my reputation.
I'm not afraid of jail.
What I care about is telling Emily Rose's story.
I want people to hear what only I can tell.
And what is that?
What really happened to Emily...
...and why.
If I let you defend me...
...will you promise to let me testify and tell the truth about what happened?
And what is the truth you would tell? That the ritual killed her?
- Was it your fault she died? - No.
All right. Then I'll let you tell her story.
But only if you agree to let me do whatever else it takes to win.
You're not used to this kind of place.
I'm sure our life is very strange to you.
Not so strange.
I grew up in a little town.
But our house wasn't as nice or as big as this.
My mother, she raised me alone.
She was a schoolteacher, so we had very little money.
What a wonderful thing to be.
That was Emily's dream, to be a teacher.
That's why she went away to the university.
A lot of cats live here.
There are...
...11 now, I think.
Emily always brought them home.
Ever since she was a little girl, she couldn't leave a stray abandoned.
Before these troubles began...
...was Emily a happy girl?
Oh, yes.
Before she went away to university...
...my Emily was so very happy.
What is going on..? Girls!
Mama.
Is it..?
It's a scholarship, Mama.
They pay for it. They pay for everything.
This is your dream, Emily.
You'll be leaving us.
It's okay.
I'll be okay.
I'm gonna show this to your father.
- Counselor. Thanks for meeting me. - Sure.
Can I buy you a drink, Mr. Thomas? He makes an excellent martini.
Just water for me, please.
So...
...the judge thinks we should offer a new plea agreement.
She feels the community might be better served without this trial.
How do you feel about it?
Personally.
My job is to represent the interests of the people...
...and make an effort to be objective.
I ask because I know you're a churchgoer.
Now you're set to prosecute a man of God.
Your priest broke the law...
...and a young girl is dead.
If he's a man of God, then, personally, I think he's even more subject...
...to the laws of moral behavior. If it were up to me, he'd get no deal.
And forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed?
Or does that just get in the way of your work?
If you have compassion for your client...
...you'll persuade him to accept this:
Charges reduced to reckless endangerment.
Twelve months in a county jail.
Reducible to six, plus probation, if he stays out of trouble.
Somehow I expect he can manage that.
But please understand me. If he refuses, I will seek the maximum.
Father Moore has made it clear there will be no plea agreement.
He will not lie or admit to something he is not guilty of.
- And he was never neglectful of Emily. - "Never neglectful"?
Have you seen the postmortem photographs?
We'll go to trial. My client wants the public to know the truth.
Good.
So do I.
Have a good night, counselor.
Let the record show that the defendant and his counsel are present...
...and that the jury is seated.
- Mr. Thomas, you may begin. - Thank you, Your Honor.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ethan Thomas.
I'm the assistant district attorney, and I represent the people.
In the case before you, the evidence will show...
...that the victim had a serious medical condition that demanded treatment.
We will prove that the victim's condition rendered her physically...
...and psychologically incapable of caring for herself.
Her care...
...was then wholly entrusted...
...to that man, the defendant, Father Richard Moore.
She became his responsibility...
...and he betrayed that responsibility...
...by persuading her to abandon her medical treatment...
...in favor of religious treatment:
A ritual exorcism, performed by the defendant...
...allegedly to cure the victim by ridding her of demonic forces.
We will demonstrate that this course of action...
...directly resulted in the victim's death.
I said a moment ago that I represent the people.
We all know what that means, but it's a little abstract, isn't it?
Miss Bruner, the attorney for the defense...
...is seated right next to the man she represents.
And I stand here to represent the people.
That's not really why I stand here today.
I'm here on behalf of someone who can't sit at a table...
...and look at you every day and gain your sympathy...
...someone who can't take the stand to testify...
...and tell you what happened in her own words.
A young girl...
...that could've been your daughter.
Could've been mine.
A girl who trusted Father Richard Moore with her life.
This is what she looked like...
...before the defendant began his religious treatment.
This is a photograph taken of her on the day that she died.
I stand here for Emily Rose...
...who died horribly...
...at age 19.
You won't be able to see Emily sitting here day after day during this trial.
But I hope you'll remember her as she was when she was alive...
...and full of...
...hopes and dreams.
And as she was when Father Richard Moore was finished with her...
...and left her to die.
Thank you.
Is the defense prepared to make its opening statement?
I'd like to reserve my opening statement...
...until the presentation of the defense's case.
As is your privilege.
Prosecution may begin.
That was already my plan.
Thank you, Your Honor. The people call Dr. Edith Vogel.
I've known Emily her entire life. I took care of all of the Rose girls.
Can you describe Emily as you knew her growing up?
She was a bit sickly in her early years.
She stayed inside a lot, reading, learning music.
How did she feel about going to school?
Objection. The witness is not a psychiatrist.
I'll rephrase. Did you talk to Emily about going off to college?
Yes. She told me she was excited...
...but nervous that she would be away from her family in the big city.
This was an overwhelming change for her.
Did you stay in touch after she went away?
Yes. She wrote me a letter saying that she'd been to a dance...
...and she'd met a boy named Jason.
She didn't want her mother to know this...
...because her mother did not approve of dancing...
...and had warned her about the boys at school.
Did Emily communicate with you again last fall after you received the letter?
Actually, it was her mother.
She telephoned me...
...waking me out of a deep sleep at 4 in the morning.
She asked me to call Emily at a payphone on the university campus.
When Emily answered, she was quite hysterical.
At first, she just sobbed uncontrollably.
But eventually she calmed down enough to tell me what happened.
She said that she was alone that weekend.
Her roommate had gone home.
She had awakened...
... and thought she smelled something burning.
There was no alarm, but she got up...
... afraid there was a fire.
Dr. Mueller, what's your position at the university hospital?
I am chairman of the Department of Neurology.
And after you heard about the dorm-room incident...
...what were your initial thoughts?
At first, I thought perhaps Emily had taken illegal drugs.
Some type of hallucinogen.
But we ran tests and found no trace of drugs in her system.
And the more she explained the incident to me...
...the more I began to suspect something else.
Epilepsy results from uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain.
In a severe, or grand mal, seizure...
... a person may lose consciousness for several minutes...
... and suffer involuntary contractions of all the muscles of the body.
Is it possible for a person suffering such a seizure...
... to have hallucinations or perceive the things that Emily described?
The muscle contractions could feel like an extreme pressure on the body.
And it is certainly possible, with all that brain activity...
...for a person to perceive all sorts of strange and violent things.
So suspecting that Emily was epileptic, how did you proceed?
I administered an electroencephalograph.
What did the EEG reveal?
It showed a possible epileptic focus in the patient's left temporal lobe.
Did this require a specific treatment?
Yes, I began a medication schedule for Emily with the drug Gambutrol.
I also advised regular follow-up examinations and further tests.
But Emily failed to keep her follow-up appointments with me.
She give any reason for discontinuing these appointments?
Yes, she told me she was convinced that her condition was a spiritual one.
It was the conviction of her priest, she said, and she shared his beliefs.
Was it your impression that Emily had placed her care...
...entirely..? - Leading the witness.
Sustained.
After the end of October...
...did you ask Emily why she had stopped...
...filling her Gambutrol prescriptions?
Yes. She said that Father Moore had suggested she stop taking the drug.
And what, in your medical opinion...
...was the result of Father Moore's suggestion?
I believe Father Moore's suggestion killed her.
Objection, Your Honor!
The witness is asserting outrageous conclusions based on pure hearsay.
Technically correct, but I'll allow it as part of his expert opinion testimony.
Thank you, Dr. Mueller.
Your witness.
You said you observed a possible epileptic focus in the temporal lobe.
Doesn't this imply what you observed may not have been an epileptic focus?
Yes, that's also possible.
Would Father Moore's advice to stop taking Gambutrol be good advice...
...if Emily were, in fact, not epileptic?
Of course. But that's not the case here. She was epileptic.
Really.
When Emily saw objects move on their own...
...and felt an invisible presence on top of her...
...was she experiencing symptoms typical of epilepsy?
Not typical, no.
Are they typical indications of any other conditions?
- Say, for example, psychosis? - Yes, I would say that's correct.
But isn't psychosis an entirely different medical condition from epilepsy?
- Yes, in my... - So aren't you selectively choosing...
...what parts of Emily's experiences fit your epilepsy diagnosis...
...while ignoring those which indicate something else?
- Objection. Argumentative. - Withdrawn.
No further questions.
We have to work fast.
They're only giving me an hour with you tonight.
Listen.
Before we get started, there's something I have to tell you...
...something I should've said to you before I let you take the case.
Okay.
There are forces surrounding this trial.
Dark, powerful forces.
Just be careful, Erin. Watch your step.
I see.
Look...
Father, you don't have to worry about me.
I'm an agnostic, remember?
Demons exist, whether you believe in them or not.
Your involvement in this trial might just open you up to their attacks.
Look, Father, I appreciate your concern...
...but you need to be worried about yourself.
Ethan Thomas is using the medical aspects of this case as ammunition...
...and I have to be prepared for his attacks, so...
...with what little time we have, I think we need to focus on your defense.
Now, what I need from you is more information about Emily's condition.
Specific details of how it progressed after the dorm-room episode.
Well, after the first incident...
...she was sent to the university hospital for testing and observation.
Emily once told me that in her dorm room, she resisted the demons...
...but at the hospital they overcame her.
So she believed...
...that her possession began at the hospital?
Yeah, I think she did.
And after that, things just went from bad to worse.
Emily!
Emily?
Oh, my God. Emily?
Don't touch me.
Jason, please...
...don't leave me.
And I never did leave her.
I stayed until the end.
So much of what we shared was like a nightmare...
...but I wouldn't give up a single minute I spent with her.
She woke me up, you know?
To things I never felt before, things I never knew I could feel.
I never knew how dead I was until I met her.
- Residential north metro district where James Van Hopper...
... acquitted after a controversial trial...
- Can you turn that up, please? - ... has apparently struck again.
It was inside this quiet suburban home...
... that police say James Van Hopper murdered a young couple today.
Sources close to the investigation say that Van Hopper...
... who was acquitted of murder charges in April...
... may have known both of the victims.
Their names are being withheld pending family notification.
Most glorious prince of the heavenly army...
...holy Michael, the archangel...
...defend us in battle against the princes...
...powers and rulers of darkness.
Counsel Bruner, my courtroom day begins at 9:30 a.m.
- I'm sorry, Your Honor, I... - Which was 17 minutes ago.
Ready to proceed?
Yes, Your Honor.
Dr. Briggs, please state your qualifications for the court.
I have advanced degrees in medicine...
...psychiatry and neurology from Johns Hopkins...
...and I have had three books and several dozen papers published...
...in the fields of neurology and neuropsychiatry.
What was the cause of death, as determined by the autopsy?
The decedent expired due to a gradual shutdown of the bodily functions.
Why did her body shut down?
The autopsy found that it was a cumulative effect...
...from numerous physical traumas exacerbated by malnutrition...
...which severely inhibited her ability to recuperate from those traumas.
In other words, her starving body had little or no means to recover...
...from the injuries it was sustaining, and so it eventually just gave out.
How did Emily get these injuries?
Some were the result of violent epileptic seizures...
...and some were self-inflicted.
And why, in your opinion, did Emily injure herself...
...and why did she stop eating?
Upon review of her complete medical file...
...I concluded that Emily's epilepsy had evolved...
...into a condition known as psychotic epileptic disorder.
This is a rare development, to be sure...
...but one that I have witnessed numerous times.
- Emily was epileptic and psychotic? - Yes.
Explain how this psychotic epileptic disorder would manifest itself.
The seizures would have the symptoms of schizophrenia...
... such as auditory and visual hallucinations...
... and sometimes extreme paranoia.
The seizures may lock up the joints and slightly contort the body.
The pupils will dilate, making the eyes appear black.
So you believe that Emily had epilepsy...
...which developed into a form of violent psychosis...
...a condition that can be controlled with Gambutrol?
Yes. And it would've been, if she'd continued her treatment.
In your opinion, if Emily had continued with her medication...
...would she be alive today? - Absolutely.
If treated early, psychotic epileptic disorder is rarely fatal.
I mean, this...
This was a very sick girl.
The defendant should've realized that Emily was in need...
...of continued medical treatment.
Thank you, doctor. Your witness.
Doctor, you testified that Gambutrol could've controlled Emily's condition.
How do you know that?
It's the inevitable result of taking the drug.
It would've controlled her seizures...
...which were the root cause of her psychosis.
But wasn't Emily still experiencing psychotic symptoms...
...even after she started taking the medication?
Yes. Because Gambutrol has a cumulative effect.
It takes time to build up in the system.
You assume that Gambutrol would've helped her, but you don't know.
It's a reasonable assumption, but...
No, of course, I can't be certain.
Doctor, is "psychotic epileptic disorder" a common medical term...
...or did you just make it up?
Well, I distinguished and named the...
So psychotic epileptic disorder is really your own pet theory?
- Objection. Argumentative. - Sustained.
When Emily chose to stop her medical treatment...
...what do you think should've been done?
Upon recognizing her condition...
...I would have tranquilized her and force-fed her.
And then, if necessary...
...I would've treated her with electroconvulsive therapy.
Electroshock treatment. You would've done this against her will?
To save her life?
Absolutely.
Nothing further.
The witness may step down.
Your Honor, I offer into evidence this photograph as People's Exhibit 3-A.
And having done so, the people rest.
The photograph is entered into evidence.
We are recessed until tomorrow morning, 9:30 sharp...
...at which time the defense will give its opening statement...
...and call its first witness.
I'm sorry I was late.
I didn't get a lot of sleep. Big power outage knocked out my alarm clock.
- It won't happen again. - No, I didn't sleep either.
What kept you awake?
Doesn't matter.
You're under attack.
What are you talking about?
You're in a spiritual battle, Erin.
The forces of darkness are trying to keep you away from the light.
Don't let them.
Don't worry about today. We're doing fine.
We're getting creamed. I can't believe I walked right into that.
Look, if we don't find a doctor to testify that Emily...
...wasn't epileptic or schizophrenic or schizo-epileptic, we're gonna lose.
Care of the city's main branch and the university library...
...I bring you another dozen fun-filled books...
...about the demonic and the mentally deranged.
They burned women at the stake...
...during witch hunts for being possessed.
Glad you don't have to defend those guys.
- How are we on our medical experts? - Not good.
The psychiatrist you wanted is tied up in another trial.
And the neurologist is sailing to Costa Rica.
This book I'm reading, it's by an anthropologist.
It's about contemporary cases of possession, mostly in the Third World.
People there are still primitive and superstitious.
Maybe.
Maybe they see possession for what it really is.
Maybe we've taught ourselves not to see it.
- You saying you believe in this stuff? - No.
Maybe we shouldn't just try to invalidate the prosecution's case...
...by punching holes in the medical approach.
Maybe we should also try to validate the alternative.
- Validate possession in a court of law? - Yes.
Okay. I guess we could bring in some priests to talk about exorcisms...
No, the archdiocese won't let us do that.
They wanna limit the Church's exposure to Father Moore.
I've got three articles by the anthropologist who wrote this book.
She approaches the subject of possession...
...from a scientific perspective and doesn't try to debunk it.
- You want me to track her down? - Yeah.
Keep looking for a medical expert to refute Dr. Briggs.
But send the case file to this Dr. Sadira Adani.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...
...as you know by now, my name is Erin Bruner...
...and I represent the defendant, Richard Moore.
Mr. Thomas has contended that Emily Rose suffered...
...from a serious medical condition...
...that required medical treatment, nothing more.
He has asserted that any attempt by my client...
...to help Emily by anything other than medical means...
...was not only inappropriate, but criminally negligent.
I'm now gonna ask that you keep an open mind...
...to what our evidence and testimony will show.
Medical treatment was not the answer for Emily...
...because she simply did not suffer from a medical condition.
She was neither epileptic nor psychotic.
Emily Rose's condition, in fact, was demonic possession.
An exorcism was her only hope for a cure.
Some of you may find yourself unable to reconcile Emily's beliefs...
...or those of the defendant with your own.
You may not believe demons exist. You won't have to.
Because you will see that after the utter failure of doctors to help Emily...
...Father Moore simply tried to help Emily in a different way...
...using an approach that he, Emily and her family firmly believed...
...was her only chance for relief.
And we will show that despite his greatest efforts...
...and his sincere love for Emily...
... there was nothing he could've done to prevent the death of Emily Rose.
Are you okay?
Aren't you gonna eat anything?
She said it was terrible to hear the clinking of spoons and forks.
She was always hungry, but she said they wouldn't let her eat.
Who did she mean by "they"?
The forces that were in control of her.
That were inside her.
You know, the demons.
Tell us what else happened that night.
I walked her back to her dorm...
...and she seemed really nervous and scared.
So I held her for a while, trying to calm her down.
I fell asleep, but when I woke up, she wasn't beside me.
Emily?
Hey.
Can you hear me?
I called her father, and he told me to bring Emily home.
Jason and I put Emily to bed...
... hoping she would sleep.
And when did Father Moore become involved?
Emily stayed home after that.
She didn't return to school, and she kept getting worse.
Eventually, when she didn't get better, we called our priest, Father Moore.
When he arrived, I sent my daughter Alice upstairs...
... to see if Emily was awake.
Emily?
Can I come in?
- Our Father, who art in heaven... - Emily?
Father Moore is here. Can you come downstairs?
- As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread...
Emily, can you hear me?
Let's get her off the floor.
Alice, no!
I am the one who dwells within.
And I am the one who comes in His name.
Think you can force me out, priest?
Try.
I dare you.
You've suffered a terrible loss, Mr. Rose. I know this is difficult.
So thank you for being here today.
Sir, do you often read the Bible?
- Yes, I do. - So do I.
What about the DSM?
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders...
...commonly referred to as the bible of abnormal psychiatry.
- Have you read that? - No.
So you're not aware that according to the DSM...
...a person's refusal to eat is a common indication of anorexia?
Objection. The witness just said he hasn't read the DSM, Your Honor.
- Sustained. - Mr. Rose...
...are you aware that catatonic rigidity...
...specifically a locking up of the body's joints...
...is a known symptom of psychosis?
No. I haven't studied these things.
Have you ever visited an insane asylum...
...or a hospital for the mentally ill?
Once. My aunt was in one before she died.
Really? So there's a history of mental illness in your family?
I suppose.
Sir, if you saw someone eating insects...
...on a street corner, would you say that that person is mentally ill?
- Probably, yes. - So can you say with confidence...
...that the behavior you saw in your daughter's bedroom...
...could not be the behavior of someone suffering from psychosis?
I don't know. She never had any problems like that before.
It just didn't feel that way to me or to Father Moore.
- And you trusted him, right? - Yes.
He is our parish priest.
Fair enough. And after that night, would you say that you...
...put your daughter entirely in Father Moore's care?
Yes. We had done all we could.
We said she was in his hands now...
...body and soul.
Thank you. No further questions, Your Honor.
Thank you, Mr. Rose. You may step down.
The defense calls Dr. Sadira Adani.
I am currently a professor of anthropology and psychiatry...
...at Northwestern University.
Where did you receive your education?
At Yale, and then at Cambridge.
And what is your specific area of expertise?
I study the spiritual experiences of people in various cultures...
...and the physiological and psychological changes...
...they undergo during these experiences.
Would it be accurate to say that you specialize in the study of possession?
Yes. "Possession" is one term for a basic human experience...
...reported by a great number of people all around the world.
In my fieldwork, I've seen many people who experienced...
...a sense of being invaded by an entity from the supernatural realm.
Why do you think Emily was invaded?
Why did this possession happen to her?
Based on my study of the case file...
...I believe that Emily Rose was a hypersensitive.
A person with an unusual connection...
...to what Carlos Castaneda called "the separate reality."
Hypersensitives are born different from everyone else.
They can have visions of the future, or see the dead...
...and sometimes be uniquely susceptible...
...to invasion by an entity that is alien to them.
Objection.
On what grounds?
How about silliness, Your Honor?
A young girl suffered terribly and died.
Do we have to subject her illness to this pseudoscientific analysis?
Both counselors, please approach the bench.
Your Honor, this testimony is beyond ridiculous. Visions...
Supernatural belief systems are shared by millions of people.
We're in The Twilight Zone here.
Her expertise is relevant to the issues in this case.
Let's have a witch doctor sift through bones...
Stop.
We've heard a great deal of testimony...
...in support of a medical explanation for Emily's condition.
Now we have a witness who has spent her career...
...studying the defense's alternative explanation.
An exorcism expert, if you will.
I think we'll hear what she has to say.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Dr. Adani, why do you think Emily's exorcism failed?
The medical treatment. Specifically, the drug Gambutrol.
Please explain.
The exorcism ritual results in a specific brain activity...
...that cuts the person off from the possession experience.
But Emily's exorcism could not have achieved this...
...because the doctor gave her Gambutrol...
...which has an intoxicating effect on the brain.
The drug made her immune to the psycho-spiritual shock...
...that exorcism is intended to provide.
What do you believe was the result of treatment with this intoxicating drug?
Gambutrol locked Emily in the possessed state.
This left her unable to respond to the exorcism...
...and therefore, it directly contributed to her death.
No further questions.
Erin!
I've got a doctor who wants to testify.
He's an eyewitness, Erin.
He was there. He was at the exorcism.
- What? - He called us.
Dr. Graham Cartwright, Department of Abnormal Psychiatry...
...at St. Mary's Hospital.
Dr. Cartwright. Ring a bell?
Yes.
He was there?
- Yes. - Father...
...if you want me to defend you, you've got to give me...
...all the information I need.
With all of this medical testimony helping the prosecution...
...how could you not tell me that a doctor attended the exorcism?
He asked that I keep his involvement confidential...
...and I said I would.
Dr. Cartwright?
I recognize you from those courtroom drawings on the news.
You're much prettier in real life.
