It"s a question of juxtaposing the ideas differently. The ideas are good.
If you were to move these ideas...
Finish up now, Elizabeth.
Yes, Father.
Anyway, uh, just change it with these ideas up here.
Mm-hm.
Excuse me for a second.
What is this?
Elizabeth For Bible study.
St Mark"s, chapter five. Chapter five, verse nine.
I like your Latin transcription.
"Jesus found a man who was possessed by evil spirits. "
"And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?"
And he answered, saying,
"My name is Legion, for we are many. "
What are those symbols there? That"s Aramaic.
Aramaic?
Outstanding.
Why are you...? Why are you attracted to these parts of the Gospel?
It"s the dark that makes the light seem brighter, Father.
Amen to that.
You"re the one who taught me that.
Finish up now, Elizabeth.
Father?
Father! Elizabeth.
Elizabeth! Elizabeth!
Get the caretaker.
Open this door! Elizabeth! Elizabeth!
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
silence clock ticking
Ah!
Elizabeth!
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
As God is my witness, you shall not enter me.
I believe in God.
Heavenly Father, creator of heaven and Earth...
...and of Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord.

Five Years Later
We"re here. Finally.
Dad, come on. Alex, we"ve been through this.
It"ll be the best thing for you. scoffs
You mean the best thing for you. For both of us!
It"ll be good for both of us to get a bit of a break from all of it.
But I didn"t do it. "Course you didn"t, sweetheart.
You"re treating me like a convict.
Like you said, you have nothing to be sorry for.
Dad! Alex,
get your ass out of this car and into that school,
or so help me God... So help you God, what?
I can"t do this anymore. I can"t.
Alex Dad.
Please, Dad, don"t send me in there! The school is gonna help you!
Alex!
Open the door. Please.
Dad!
Alex, undo the belt and get out of the car.
sobbing Dad! Listen to me! Why won"t you listen to me?
We all have a debt to pay, Alex.
sighs Well, I guess that"s that.
Sorry, miss.
Sorry about that. We haven"t had any students here in such a long time.
I thought all of you were already inside.
Wait, we get locked in? School rules of St Mark"s.
Doesn"t that seem kind of dangerous?
I guess they think that you"re the danger here, miss.
Enjoy your stay, miss.
Miss Garrison. Alex sighs Jeez.
Yes?
You"re late.
Holy Mary, mother of God.
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Far from my footprints are the words of my groaning.
O, my God, I cry by day, and You do not answer.
And by night, when I have no rest.
woman Father Drake? girls continue praye
Well, class...
...it appears our last student has finally made it.
You may stand down.
Five Hail Marys. girls Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art... Miss Garrison.
Yes?
This is St Mark"s Alternative School for Girls, not the Holiday Inn.
My Dad, um, he took the wrong exit.
They have been standing for two and a half hours in this place.
Waiting.
For you to show up.
girls Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Again.
girls Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen. You have been brought here...
...because you are criminals.
Hooligans. Delinquents.
Yes, what is it?
I was just wondering where the phones are.
I have to call my parents and tell them I arrived safely.
What is your name? Leah.
Leah. Your parents don"t want you.
They do not care about you.
That"s why they"ve driven across the country and left you.
What Headmistress Pearce is saying is...
...there are rules here at St Mark"s.
There will be no in-and-out privileges and no communication with the outside,
including the Internet.
Also, the third floor is closed and unsafe.
You will not go up there.
Otherwise, you will learn here,
pray here, eat here, sleep here
and, ultimately, heal here.
Pearce The signs of sin are all over you.
I just bruise easily.
Each of you will be given a blood test and a weekly urine test.
girl Ow! Pain is a virtue, Connie.
It makes us realise there are others in the world that suffer.
Contraband, however, will not be tolerated.
Miss Pearce, I"m not really sure we should do this.
School rules here at St Mark"s. I"m, um...
I"m a bit of a bleeder.
Then this should work out perfectly.
Shit!
Pearce Watch your mouth, young lady.
Maybe we should do this another time, Miss Pearce.
The time is now, the place is here.
And your daddy isn"t here to bail you out.
You will behave, is that understood? Mmm. Yeah.
Yes, headmistress. Yes, headmistress.
Well, looks like we"re going to have to do this
all over again for a second time. Won"t we, Father Drake?
Yes, headmistress.
Those are prescription. Mmm.
Pearce If we say we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves.
And he that hath no sin can throw a rock at your head. Give me back my pills.
Father Drake, have you ever seen such disrespect?
I have seen a thing or two, Miss Pearce.
We will command these girls to a higher calling here at St Mark"s.
Of that, I am certain.
Get "em to work.
Get into your uniforms, please.
girls whispering Thanks for being on time.
Thanks for bringing a drug store with you.
Who the hell brought a vibrator?
You"re complaining about a vibrator when she"s a witch.
Yee-haw, we got witches with our bitches.
Well, what"s your story, goth-brains?
I"m an anarchist. Huge difference.
Hey, you. It"s Leah.
Whatever. If you don"t get your ass scrubbing...
Guys! Let"s cool it, OK?
I don"t remember electing you class president.
Well, someone"s gotta stand up to the class bitch.
Don"t ever touch me without asking first.
OK, guys, wet here.
Hello!
Pearce Father Drake.
Hello, Anna. Headmistress Pearce.
Oh, sorry. Headmistress Pearce.
Please, come in. I"d rather not.
Outside.
Exactly what were you doing in there?
I was just getting the chapel ready for the new arrivals.
No.
This morning, in the classroom, with the girls.
How do you mean? Every single one of them
is here for a reason. We must give them purpose.
They are indulgent, we must be stern.
Yes, I was noticing your methods to be rather...
...direct.
You would know all about that.
I was also a student here once before, wasn"t I, Father Drake?
You know, I"m not really sure that this is what I signed up for.
You signed up for a chance to make good on a new watch.
I could take you back to the bar I found you in.
No, that won"t be necessary.
I appreciate the opportunity you"re giving me, it"s just...
These girls, they"re good girls.
They just need a little bit of guidance.
I will determine what guidance will be given. Do we have a problem with that?
We don"t.
Stick with the dead languages, Father.
Leave the girls to me.
Drake Who so sheddeth man"s blood,
by man his blood shall be shed.
God, I hate the Latin.
What"s wrong? Did you hear that?
Did I hear what? That voice.
Ladies? Are you working on your Latin?
Uh-huh. Yes.
speaking in Latin
What the hell? Miss Garrison.
Alex! You know what you"re doing?
You"re disrupting my class!
These are for you.
I want you to transcribe these pages before the end of the period.
Got it? Yes, Father Drake.
girl whispering in Latin
creaking Who"s there?
Hey, uh, Father Drake.
Could you tell me more about the verbs for "fear" in Latin?
Like, uh, "I fear, I worry".
I don"t have the time right now. Please, Father?
Well...
The placing of ideas in separate clauses would have "I fear", "vereor", alone.
Then a separate sentence, the thing that is to be feared.
Or desired. speaks Latin
"Oh, that this might happen. " Now...
Father Drake continues talking
Paratactically, paratactically...
Alex.
Syntactically, syntactically,
it becomes the worry that it won"t. Got it?
Not at all. Uh, thanks, Father. See ya.
Well, Alex, get it done?
Um, actually, Father...
Actually, she did. She?
I. I mean, I finished. I have problems with nouns, um...
Possessive nouns and stuff.
You"re dismissed.
Alex Guys, guys.
indistinct chattering
Anyone got a smoke? Mara!
Just joking.
I brought my own.
Howthe hell did you get those past the strip-search?
Who do ya think you"re bunking with here, princess?
Anyone want their stuff back? Howd you get those back?
Someone takes things from you, you take it back.
Take your black magic back, sweetheart.
Just don"t use it on me.
And here are your tarot cards. giggles
How do you...? See the cards if I"m blind?
Yeah. Second sight, baby. Second sight.
Sorry. Don"t be.
Sometimes I"m, uh, kinda glad I can"t see anything.
Why"s that?
Then I don"t have to judge a book by its cover.
Sometimes you can tell a lot about a book by its cover.
Not when you can"t see it.
When you"re blind, packaging is less important.
Hey! Hey, you got some more?
And what do you got in return, beautiful?
I"m not as skilled as you at hiding things up my ass.
That"s too bad.
That"s a beautiful amulet, Connie. clears throa Thanks.
Do you know what it"s for? I don"t know.
To look nice?
Um, it"s a Wiccan protection crystal.
You know a lot about witchcraft?
Well, not as much as you.
Pinpricks under fingers for blood rituals,
um, personal meditation
and your books are about witchcraft.
You"re Wicca.
It"s not something I wanna advertise.
Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we all know about crystals and divination.
I got my handbook of black magic off of eBay.
I thought we could know where we"re coming from.
Yeah? And what about you, freak girl?
You like doing your graffiti in Latin?
What are you trying to pull here?
It"s a voice I heard. I think it"s some sort of sign or warning.
What does it mean?
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. "
What do you think that means?
Connie, did you go to school? It"s Dante.
Stop trying to freak these girls out!
I"m freaking myself out.
The telekinesis with the blood in the water was a nice trick.
What about you, Leah? Walk through any walls lately?
It was a filing cabinet.
Hey, cool!
Uh, you can walk through walls?
I"m sorry, what are we all still doing here?
Just objects, I can"t leave a room.
OK, I"m with freaks.
Maybe they chose us because we all have gifts.
You heard what they said. We are here because the world doesn"t want us.
Is that right, Mara? And what would your gift be, a bad attitude?
Fuck you, Alex! Oh, you only wish.
Why don"t you take that large chip off your shoulder
and shove that up your ass?
Why don"t you take your stupid little...?
Well, knife in the wall. Time for bed.
Sorry, Miss Pearce.
You scared me, Father Drake.
I didn"t mean to. I was just on my way to the rectory to retire.
Is the school secure? I have made the rounds.
We are all locked up.
Is there something else?
Yeah. I, um... I wanted you to see this.
Pearce What is it? Alex"s Latin class work.
Well, I find it odd that in 20 minutes, a 17-year-old girl could transcribe
thirty pages of written text into Aramaic.
laughs Aramaic?
It"s a little advanced for high school Latin, considering it hasn"t been spoken
since the time of Christ. What does it say?
I haven"t gotten that far yet.
I should think this is a prank.
Prank? Yes.
A Latin prank.
The devil is a trickster, a liar and thief, but...
...he ain"t a Latin major.
You just described every girl in this school, Father.
The devil is real, Miss Pearce.
And he has been here before.
I think we both know who I"m talking about. Anna.
Then why not say the name?
When Moses asked God, "When I come to the children of Israel
and tell them the God of their fathers has sent me to you,
and they ask what is his name, what shall I say to them?"
And God said to Moses,
"I am who I am. "
And He said, "Thus you shall tell the children of Israel, "I Am
has sent me to you. "
Even God doesn"t want us to know his name, lest we wanna
go ahead and start using it.
Thanks for the Bible study, Father.
You know, it was, uh, always...
...very good for the girls here at St Mark"s.
So, what exactly can you see? Past, present, future.
Anything in between.
Choose three cards.
I don"t think I"ve ever felt comfortable with these things.
Sometimes when you open a door just a little, it gets opened a lot.
You"re feeling closed in.
That"s pretty good. Can I get my money back?
No, wait, wait.
No, I mean, you"re right here at the bottom of the stairs.
Yes, I am. But now I"m going to sleep.
No, Alex, you"re right here at the bottom of the stairs,
but I don"t... There"s another girl with you.
Keep your dinner, Screamy McQueen. Don"t sneak up on me like that!
Truce, all right? Got another L?
Pills don"t get you high enough? They"re for pain.
Yeah, I bet they are.
Uh, OK, so back to the cards. laughs
Gettin" some more vibeage here.
I"m seeing you here at the bottom of the stairs.
She"s really good.
Hey, we are at the bottom of the stairs.
I know, but Alex is here, and there"s another girl here with her.
There is another girl.
She"s walking around in the halls, and she"s not one of us.
Come on, she"s screwing with us.
I"m not! What was she doing?
I don"t know. She... she took me upstairs.
Ooh, the third floor?
No, but that"s not who I"m seeing here with you.
She"s different.
OK, guys, I"m going to bed.
Pappy Drake will be getting us up at the crack o" dawn.
There is a girl, I swear, Cecilia. She took me upstairs.
Stop scaring the rest of the girls. There"s no one wandering these halls,
and there"s nothing happening on the third floor!
Anna!
Help me, Anna. Please!
Do something, please! I"m trying.
I"m trying to sleep here!
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Well, today isn"t your day.
It"s been a long, long time since my last confession.
It"s been a while since mine too.
But... we can"t be forgiven until we come clean.
OK.
Alex sighs I"m seeing things.
Well, that"s not really a sin, is it?
I"m seeing things that are not there.
Such as? Um, a ghost, a girl ghost.
That"s not possible. It is.
It"s not possible! Why isn"t it possible?
Because she"s gone.
Who? Who"s gone? Father Drake, do you know who I"m talking about?
Dirty blonde hair, pale white skin.
Why do you lie, Alex? I"m not lying. There is a spirit here
that is trying to get out.
I"m hearing voices in this place.
There is a girl walking in the school. A ghost did my Latin homework.
It"s not possible! Father Drake,
ghosts, spirits, the forces of the dark are here.
They exist, they"re around us and someone"s let them in.
God made the dark so that we can see the light.
What did you say?
It"s you who taught me that.
Father Drake?
You will not speak of this again. Do you understand?
You do not want to continue walking down the path you"re on.
But Father... An hour of prayer and reflection
and 60 Glory Be"s for every minute of my time you"ve wasted.
Leah Mara, I, for one, believe the girl.
Mara Alex is full of shit. No such things as ghosts
or things that go bump in the night. I sleep fine.
Leah You mean you don"t believe in the devil?
Mara I believe in the devil. His name is man and he pisses me off.
Cecilia There"s something at work, I feel it.
Mara Cecilia. Cecilia Yeah?
Tray of pee at two o"clock. Oh.
Mara We should go to the third floor.
Don"t you think any place that"s out of bounds, you"re obliged to break into?
That kind of thinking got me here in the first place.
What are you, chicken?
What are you, six? imitating chicken
What"s that? My chicken sound.
Mm-hmm.
Suicide, gonna come?
Mara! Connie Nope.
No. Go ahead.
I"m OK.
Tricky Woo: Ten Tons
You burn inside like a casbah Demolition
In a dragon"s eye Anticipation
Shoot the promised land I don"t think so
From the graveyard I gotta bring you home
My people will rock you
My fire, baby, is gonna stop you Ten tons
So, what do we got?
We"ve got one big padlock.
Mara, are you a hooligan, a troublemaker?
Holy shit, did you see that?
Yeah, cos this blind thing is to pick up guys.
Guess you can"t freak out at what you don"t see.
Mara, there is nothing to fear except fear itself.
Bullshit. There"s lots to fear.
Tricky Woo: I Own You
Hey, I"ll bring you back
I"m low
Hey, I"ll bring you
Back to your home
Hide!
Cos I own you
I own you
Cos I own, cos I own
Cos I own you
And when I"m coming home
And when I"m all drunk
I am a man with a troubled mind
Connie Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is thy fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the our of our death.
Amen. Where is everyone?
Having reflection time.
And what are you doing?
Father Drake suggested I pray...
...a lot.
Oh.
Hey, you OK, Con?
There"s something not right here, Alex.
You know when you walk into an old house,
for the first time, you think you"re being watched?
Your hairs stand on edge.
A chill up your back.
That"s my life.
You"re like a conduit.
Connie the conduit. But you knowwhat that means?
God, Connie, who did this to you?
Father Drake? No, no one did.
They just... They just appeared.
What? Last night.
sobbing I felt something...
...enter me.
Some sort of spirit, and... and...
...it was ugly.
OK. We have to go tell the headmistress.
No! Alex, they"re not gonna believe you!
That"s what I was trying to do in confession. They just won"t believe.
I believe.
I keep seeing things.
It"s OK. We"re gonna figure this out, OK?
It"s gonna be OK.
Promise. Yeah.
So no one knows what I"m talking about.
The third floor is forbidden.
When I went up there, I found the gate unlocked.
Who did it?
Stand up.
Up! Up!
Dark hair.
Your height.
What were you doing upstairs?
I wasn"t.
What were you doing up there?
I wasn"t... up there.
What are you hiding... up there, anyway?
We don"t hide anything here at St Mark"s, Mara.
This is a sisterhood.
We only embrace truth.
For you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
Right. Thanks for the sound bite.
You"re exactly the reason I lost faith in faith.
Were you upstairs? No!
Oh! Jeez, what"s wrong with you?
The world wants you to have a spiritual adjustment.
Yeah, hitting me is one step closer to a spiritual lawsuit.
Were you upstairs?
I was.
You have given me no choice.
We all have choices, Miss Pearce.
Miss Garrison.
Disrespect the rules...
...and you shall pay... by the rod.
Miss Pearce... Sit down!
Your report told us all about you.
Miss Garrison, your father was all too willing to dispose of you...
...into my care.
Your devilry will not be tolerated in my school.
You will take the punishment accordingly.
grunting, panting
Hail Mary... slapping
...full of grace... I didn"t tell you to seek penance.
...blessed art thou amongst women. Be quiet.
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Both of you, be quiet.
Holy Mary, mother of God. Quiet!
Pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death.
That is enough! Amen.
Stop it!
Goddamn the headmistress.
Ow! Sorry. I"m sorry.
sighs It"s OK.
Just hurts.
Besides, it was a lesson I needed to learn.
And what is that, don"t run your ass into a ruler repeatedly?
She just tried to teach us about trust and respect.
I broke her trust and lost her respect.
Did you get hit on the head with the ruler?
Mara, I think we"re losing her.
She"s gonna be OK.
You got a blood clot up that ass of yours I can use?
You wanna knowwhat I can do? My gift?
Yeah.
You"re not coming on to me, cos I"m really not in the mood.
Relax. If I was gonna jump you, I"d kiss you first.
What"s happening? Mara"s touching my ass.
Oh. OK.
I figured this out the first time I rode my bike and skinned my knee.
Next thing you know, my parents take away my bike,
ship me around the world, whoring me out as a faith healer
to the neediest people you"d ever meet.
And they would pay.
So Mara"s a faith healer that has no faith.
Hey, you think you can do something about these peepers?
Sorry, Cees. Fresh wounds only, dude.
Oh, all right.
Well, I think Leah has got a cold sore or something she should have looked at.
Thanks.
You take one for me, I take one for you.
I"m just happy someone believes me.
You got me believing.
Now, let"s go find out what"s on that third floor of yours.
Alex Ooh! Ow!
Hey, hey, guys.
Those things"ll kill ya. gasping
Hello, Virgil.
You don"t need to sneak around out here.
You"re the headmistress, you"re grown up.
You can smoke anywhere. You can choose any way to die.
Pearce Well, thank you.
Virgil Have a good day? No.
There was some concern today that my, uh,
methods were too harsh.
We didn"t reopen this girls" school so that you could be pleasant to them,
did we, Anna? No.
No, we didn"t.
You take care tonight.
Tonight and every other night, until this...
...semester is over.
This"ll just take a second.
What exactly are we doing?
Searching for the centre. The centre of what?
I don"t know.
Spirit usually projects from a sanctified area.
We"re in a Catholic school. This whole place is sanctified.
straining
Yeah, but the third floor has a lot of, you know, spooky.
slamming, creaking
What exactly did you used to steal, anyway?
Girl"s efficient, got to give her that.
I still can"t do doors. It"s OK.
I like the old-fashioned way of breaking in.
lock clicks Five locks, five girls.
That"s a sign right there.
Hmm.
There"s some bad intention going on in here.
Hey, so, uh, what have we got? Classroom, small.
Open space in the middle, pentagram in the centre.
What kind? Run-of-the-mill, or second-coming apocalypse?
It"s pretty. OK.
Who the hell"s been up here? Who, Miss Pearce?
Are you kidding me? Pentagrams? No way.
You think you know someone...
To my hand, be they bid
As my will, so be it
To my hand, be they bid
As my will, so be it
And those are our urine samples.
And the rag used to wipe up... Our blood.
Why is it on the ground? To focus on it.
What do you mean? Urine can be used as a scent,
to let the spirits zone in on people.
That"s, uh... That"s great.
That"s just great. And Wiccans,
or anyone, for that matter,
will use the blood or an animal sacrifice to focus the will
where a pentacle is placed.
This one"s extremely powerful.
Oh... why?
Well, don"t wanna take a formal poll or anything,
but how many of us have actually had sex?
With a man? You gotta be kidding me.
Virgin blood. You"re a virgin?
Fuck you, Leah. Why don"t you go and eat something and become a human.
Screw you, I"ll put you down fast... I"d like to see you try it.
By thought, will, passion, wise
Bind five girls to my desires
Leah, you can"t go, we need you.
What the hell? Ah! grunting
Let me go!
I can"t stop!
Passion, wise Bind five girls to my desires
Don"t complete the circle!
Complete the circle.
Sorry!
Sorry.
Well, this isn"t good.
By the gods of dark eternal
I set a bargain with ye, infernal
Herein are there circled five
To free one in darkness, still alive
sobbing Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
God"s not listening to you, Leah. Stop freaking out.
Stop telling me what to do! You keep pissing me off!
OK, we"re standing in the middle of a pentagram, can we please...?
Chill the fuck out!
Focus. Breathe.
Let the pentagram speak to you.
By Adonai Yod-Heh
By the legions of darkness do as I say
Release the binds on the one lost
Take five girls as the cost
By Adonai Yod-Heh
By the legions of darkness do as I say
Release the binds of one lost

What"s going on?
screaming
Yes!
Connie!
We"ve gotta get out of here. I can"t move!
Alex Connie!
Connie.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, is she OK? What"s happening? Oh, my God!
What"s wrong with Connie, guys? Is she OK?
Mara, help her. Just do something.
It"s OK, Connie, it"s OK.
Mara.
Heal her.
Thank you, God.
This wasn"t God"s work.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God.
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
My mom and dad are gonna sue this school so bad.
Leah!
What is happening to me?
Leah!
Connie.
What are you doing?
Ah!
girl And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?"
And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion.
For we are many. " You"re the one who taught me that.
It"s the dark that makes the light seem brighter, Father.
She"s eating a lot.
Hungry there, uh, Leah?
Famished.
That"s a nice look for you.
Mara OK, so, uh, Leah"s possessed.
Cecilia Yeah. Definitely not looking good.
Mara Here it is. Legion, a demon Jesus encountered.
It"s otherwise ambiguous, but at the time,
a Roman legion was about 2,000 men.
So there"s about 2,000 unclean spirits in Leah right now.
You sound converted.
I"ve been made aware of recent events.
So, what did the big guy do?
Uh, it... He...
...cast the demon into about 2,000 pigs
and they fell off a cliff and drowned.
Excellent. Cool.
Oh, wait. Forgot my 2,000 pigs at home in my country club this morning.
I think we might be able to interpret this as allegory.
So according to school records, Elizabeth was a student here
and just disappeared.
What, like kidnapped?
No, she was in a classroom one moment,
and then she was gone. Elizabeth Dobbs just vanished, gone.
Her father filed reports, and it led to the closure of St Mark"s as a school.
It didn"t open again until this semester.
OK, so a staunch Catholic.
Elizabeth made Miss Pearce look like a two-dollar whore at Mardi Gras.
A deeply religious girl gets demonically possessed,
but for some reason, what, the possession doesn"t take?
Probably cos she"s so religious. Worship has its perks.
So, what does Legion do? What does he want?
Uh... what all demons want.
Property. But he has Elizabeth in hell.
But he can"t possess her soul because she"s so pure and good.
So who do you bring on by to take her place?
The five of us.
The unwanted.
Why now?
Maybe it wasn"t such a good idea to step in that pentagram last night.
Ya think?
I was trying not to be prejudiced against this school"s pentagram.
Let"s get the fuck out of Dodge.
Oh, my Jesus.
Forgive us our sins.
Protect us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls into heaven.
Especially those most in need of Thy mercy.
Bless me, Father...
...for I have sinned.
Leah.
How did you get in here? I have a confession to make.
This is not the right time.
You do that up right now, young lady.
You do that back up right now. But, Father,
has it not been a long, long...
...time.
Stop right now, girl.
The girl you know is no longer.
Oh, Father,
all work and no play? Those are no concern of yours.
These words are because of me.
I shall bring a new Gospel into this world of yours.
Whose Gospel would that be? Mine, of course.
And what is thy name, spirit?
Leah and demon laughing
What is thy name?! demon laughing
demonic voice My name is Legion.
For we are many.
St Michael, defend us in battle,
and be our protection against wickedness and snares of the devil.
Wait. You feel responsible for her disappearance.
May God rebuke you, we humbly pray.
Yes. But you think that it"s your fault.
And do thou, o prince of the heavenly host,
with the power of God, thrust into hell, Satan!
And all the evil spirits that wander through the world for the road of souls!
You"ll fit nicely into the fires of hell,
with thoughts like that about young girls.
I cast you out! Ah!
Leah"s voice Sorry. Nothing.
You"re gonna need a bigger cross to bear with me.
You took one of my flock. You will not get them all.
Yes. I can.
Connie?
High Kapitol: In a Way
Connie! Where are you?
Come on, it"s getting late.
We weren"t anything back then
In a way I felt alive for just a fall together
I just wasn"t doing nothing
Cos in a way you felt that somewhere there must be much better
Connie!
And I can"t cry
Cos weak just doesn"t impress you
And I won"t cry
Connie! Where are you?
When did I ever let you down?
Connie? Connie, come on, it"s getting late.
How did I deserve the pain that I found?
Connie?
You got so many people worried about you.
Connie!
Hello? Father Drake?
Shit!
Oh... Oh, God.
Don"t do that! Shh!
Father Drake...
My God... It"s...
Oh, my God. Connie. Connie too.
What"s going on? Legion.
It"s out.
panting Oh, God. Oh, God.
Please don"t, please don"t, please don"t...
If you could see yourself now. Leah!
She"s not with us anymore. What do you want?
Ah!
demonic voice I want to flood your world and wash it clean.
I want to give purpose to lost souls.
I want to raise a legion.
Cecilia! Oh, God.
Miss Pearce!
Connie, oh, my God... Connie is dead. And Father Drake.
That is unfortunate. gasps
No, no, no! What are you doing?
You"re not gonna believe us,
but something really bad is happening in this school right now.
Yes, I know. Let us the fuck out!
I"m afraid that"s exactly what I don"t want.
But Connie and Father Drake...
They aren"t family.
Anna.
You"re Elizabeth"s sister.
What?
But... But it was Elizabeth Dobbs,
and you"re Miss Pearce.
I kept my mother"s maiden name.
You would, you bitch.
Ah!
Let go! Stop it!
Ah!
No one will hear you,
except the one who come looking. And in that case, scream all you want.
But why?
Because in a true sisterhood, Alex,
sisters love their sisters.
Mara..
Can you heal yourself?
She broke my healing hand.
Leah, why are you doing this?
The girl is no longer.
As Legion is many, we must have many.
Oh!
You"re still hoping, aren"t you?
Get away from me!
You still dream of sight.
Fuck you!
sobbing
Leah?
Legion?
Hallowed be my name.
Leah?
Leah, are you...?
Leah? Leah...
Be careful with hope.
It"s a trick the devil will play on you.
Oh! Oh!
Door, girl. Get the door!
There"s a lock.
straining
Think that"s gonna hold?
I think we"re gonna need a little extra protection.
I don"t like these colours at all.
I smell fear!
North, south
East, west
Circle, make us safe and blessed
With this sword...
Mmm!
With this sword So straight and true
Be thou barred, o works of darkness
Shut out, o spawn of chaos
Guard against all evil in will
The seal and binds be upon thee
It is done.
There.
Done.
You don"t have to go to the bathroom.
I just need a little control of this hand.
I still gotta watch your back, you know.
Hey, Mara.
We"re gonna be OK.
What, in this situation, gives you the slightest hint we"re gonna be OK?
I just... made the circle,
done the thing, we"re still here, aren"t we?
Yeah, but there"s... Shh!
There is... No!
Seriously, a circle? Faith in the circle.
You"re right.
I"m sorry.
We"re gonna be OK.
My dad dropped me off here...
...he said, "We all have a debt to pay, Alex. "
scoffs Wonder if he had this in mind.
Aþ least your dad was around to give you a lift.
My dad never believed I could do anything.
Except screw things up.
He was actually happy to get rid of me.
All the trouble I caused back home.
But I would"ve never met you.
So I"ll take this.
Thank you.
For having faith in me.
Sorry for touching you without asking.
Mara, you really did a good job on the circles.
I mean, they"re, like, perfect.
Here we go.
Guys? Cecilia?
Careful, Alex, it could be a trick. It"s Cecilia, Mara.
Guys, what the heck"s going on?
Guys?
Five for one, one for five Bring Elizabeth to me alive
One for five, five for one As my will, so be it done
Five for one, one for five Bring Elizabeth to me alive
One for five, five for one As my will, so be it done
Cecilia? What happened?
God, it was awful, guys.
Leah, she just... What?
Was it Legion? Yes.
Legion.
Fall back, guys.
Cees, what"s wrong?
Who drew this circle?
What are you talking about? I drew it, it"s a...
Cees, how do you know that there"s a circle?
You know, Mara, I always pictured you as a blonde.
Shit!
Circle better hold. Circle will hold.
Careful what you believe in, Alex.
Your prayers, trinkets and scribbles saved you before,
but not again.
There are always ways around ways.
What the hell?
Cecilia, listen to me, sweetie. Fight him.
Get yourself out of there. Why would I give up first sight?
It"s too beautiful. Cecilia.
Don"t!
Try not to hurt her. Are you kidding me?
Oh!
Mara, do you really think a little scrape will harm Old Scratch?
Oh!
You are a better vessel.
Stop it!
Ah!
demonic voice Enough of these games. Mara, I don"t wanna do this.
Then you will fail.
Five for one, one for five Bring Elizabeth to me alive
One for five, five for one As my will, so be it done
One for five, five for one So my will, be it done
Five for one, one for five Bring Elizabeth to me alive
One for five, five for one As my will, so be it done
Five for one, one for five Bring Elizabeth to me alive
demonic voice Your faith is strong, but your God is weak.
My God is not weak, Legion.
Then where is he?
Ah!
Alex No!
I think I shall enjoy this human form.
I don"t think so.
Someone takes things from you, you take it right back.
Ah!
One for five, five for one...
Elizabeth. Elizabeth?
No. No! No! Nooo!
Elizabeth.
Oh!
Foolish girl, you think a blessed blade will end my reign?
There is no way out from the inevitable.
Wait!
You are the sister. I am.
Legion. You have what you want.
Now give Elizabeth back to me, please.
I have not the five, but only four.
Mara!
Alex No, no.
No!
We all have a debt to pay.
Mara!
Oh!
Alex, wake up.
Alex.
Alex. Alex!
Come on.
Heal thyself.
Come on. Heal thyself.
Heal thyself!
Alex, fight!
Come on! Come on, baby, don"t give up on me.
Come on. Come on.
Come on, I know you can do it. Come on.
Please breathe.
Alex, please get up.
Alex, please get up!
Alex, please.
Please, Alex, heal.
Come on. Alex, come on! Get up!
Alex, get up!
Alex, please get up.
Alex, please get up!
Alex, please.
Well, look at that.
Fate won out.
Shit! Watch your language, Mara.
Move. You cannot leave the school.
Get over it.
That"ll be nothing compared to the little mess you gotta clean up in there.
Daddy!
Elizabeth!
No shit.
That"s your daddy.
Hope it was worth it.
Anna?
Anna, what"s wrong?
No!
