MAN 2: Depart, accursed one. Depart with all your deceits.
Depart then, transgressor.
Depart, seducer, full of lies and cunning,
foe of virtue, persecutor of the innocent.
Give place, abominable creature.
Give way, you monster. Give way to Christ,
in whom you found none of your works.
- (WATER SIZZLING) - (GROWLING)
For he has already stripped you of your powers and laid waste your kingdom,
bound you prisoner and plundered your weapons.
He has cast you forth into the outer darkness,
where everlasting ruin awaits you and your abettors.
- To what purpose do you insolently resist? - (GROANS)
To what purpose do you brazenly refuse?
For you are guilty before Almighty God,
whose laws you have transgressed.
You are guilty before his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
whom you presumed to tempt.
You are guilty before the whole human race,
to whom you proffered by your enticements the poison cup of death.
BOTH: Amen.
Is the cochon prepared?
Expulsion is near.
Therefore, I adjure you, profligate dragon,
in the name of the spotless Lamb,
who has trodden down the asp and the basilisk...
and overcome the lion and the dragon,
to depart from this woman and her unborn child,
to depart from the church of God.
And when he had cast you out, you did not even dare,
except by his leave,
to enter into a herd of swine.
And now, as I adjure you in his name,
begone from this woman and her unborn child... (CONTINUES, INDISTINCT)
(GUTTURAL VOICE) Please help me.

for being transferred here instead of prison.
It was nothing. I play basketball with the attorney general.
I convinced him that you'd be... best in a Catholic-run institution.
Besides, it was you who had to accept the plea of insanity to make this work.
Look. (SIGHS)
I received official notice from the Vatican, and, uh,
I've been instructed to pass it over to you.
You've been dismissed from your clerical state.
By papal decree, no less.
"From this moment forth,
you are expressly forbidden from exercising ministerial functions."
- Yeah. - Sorry.
I did all I could.
So I'm no longer a priest.
You understand the decree that's been handed down to you?

Hello, Molly. I'm Dr. Laurie Hawthorne.
I know who you are.
I'll be meeting with you several times a week while you're here...
for evaluation as we prep you for your future beyond these walls.
You aren't scared to be in here with me?
Should I be?
You read the file?
I have.
Says here you had a complete and total mental breakdown...
A breakdown that started on your 24th birthday.
Is that right?
We'll be evaluating you here with us for the next 30 days.
I'm... I won't be here that long.
What is it, Molly?
Whatever it is, we're here to help you through it,
to help you to the next stage.
What do you mean, the next stage?
Of your life.
Molly, your father committed suicide in a mental institution...
after he was found guilty of murdering your mother.
How much do you remember of that?
Does my file tell you...
that my parents were also into the occult?
Of course.
I'm not insane, Dr. Hawthorne.
I don't think that you are.
I'm possessed.
Molly, multiple personalities are...
(SCOFFS) You think you can help me?
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
(SIGHS) Molly, I can only help you if you're...
I had a counselor like you once.
In high school.
She thought she knew what was best for me too.
She's dead now.
WOMAN: Doctor! Doctor!
Doctor. Doctor. Doctor!
(BABBLING, GASPING)
Doctor! (GRUNTS)
Hartley's counselor, Dr. Emerson, boyfriend, Joseph Young,
were eventually found to have ties to the occult.

and moved to Michigan to start a new life.

Hello, Molly. How are you feeling?
(LOCK CLICKS)
I'm sorry I had to do this, but it's for your own protection.
You hurt yourself badly.
In rereading the transcripts of your case, I was struck by something.
You claimed that on your 18th birthday,
you were essentially possessed by the devil.
Correct?
But you testified you believed that this was only the first phase.
You quoted your school counselor, Dr. Emerson,
the woman who betrayed you,
as saying, "We have watched you grow.
There are great things ahead.
You are the one."
You said in court that you've come to believe that what she meant by that...
was that you will be the one who will return Satan to this mortal coil.
Is that correct?
You believe your possession on your 18th birthday is like a pregnancy...
A pregnancy you thought would come to term in your 24th year.
Don't you see, Molly?
Maybe this is some sort of psychosomatic self-fulfilling prophecy.
You believed this would happen on your 24th birthday,
so now your mind is willing it to be.
And it's manifesting physically with the vomiting and the noises.
Why else would this... this possession need to incubate from 18 to 24?
Can you tell me why, Molly?
Molly?
I have been thinking about it.
And?
It's because it's six years later.
Six years, six months, six days, to be exact.
666.
But six months and six days after your 24th birthday...
That's only a few days away.
(GASPS, GROANS)

Molly, I can't understand what you're saying.

Excuse us, please.
Father Barrow.
I haven't been called that in a while.
I need to talk to you right away.
Of course.
It's one of our other patients.
Molly Hartley?
Yes. I think she's possessed.
Then what you need is a priest.
I read that once a man is ordained as a priest, he's always a priest.
What you need is a priest that's still ordained by the church.
Things are happening.
(WHISPERS) Unexplainable things.
Can we talk somewhere else?
I read that there are two types of exorcisms...
Solemn and unofficial.
A solemn exorcism has to be approved by the church.
An unofficial exorcism can be performed by a layperson.
Someone's been doing their homework.
After all the lawsuits and bad media attention,
the Roman Catholic church no longer even teaches priests how to perform exorcisms.
As of last year, there's only 17 trained exorcists in all of America.
- Including me. - Including you.
- Yeah. - And of those 17,
only one has been involved in an actual exorcism.
- Me. - You.
You know the ritual of exorcism, Barrow.
You no longer need approval.
Think of this as your redemption.
- There's no such thing. - Please.
I can't go to the cops. They won't believe me.
Just take a look at her. This young woman, she needs you.
- She's in pain. - (SIGHS)
We have no time.
What about your freedom?
You do this for me, I sign your release papers. Simple as that.
It's not that simple.
When did this happen?
Last night at 7:06.
BARROW: How do you know that?
HAWTHORNE: Because all of the watches and clocks...
stopped at that exact same time last night.
Sixty-six minutes after the sixth hour.
JONES: He's here!
His time is near!

Hello, Molly.
My name is John Barrow.
(DISTORTED) I know who you are, Father Barrow.
I'm not an actual priest anymore.
(CACKLING)
So stupid.
Pardon me?
Like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
I'm not talking to Molly, am I?
No.
I'd like to talk to Molly.
No Molly. Only us.
- (GROWLING) - Us who?
(CACKLES)
"And he asked him, 'What is thy name?'
And he answered, 'My name is Legion.'" (ECHOES)
- You know the Bible, I see. - The opiate of the masses?
You know what happens next after that verse you cited?
"There was nigh unto the mountain a great herd of swine.
And forthwith, Jesus sent the demons into the swine.
And the herd ran violently into the sea, and they drowned in the waters."
(CACKLES) Yeah. Poor little piggies.
But I like that very much.
- You do? - Yeah.
And now they sent a pauper for the prince!
(GROWLS)
You're referring to the fact I'm no longer a priest.
(SIGHS)
Dr. Hawthorne told you that.
(CACKLES)
The things they tell in the bowels of hell, Barrow.
Call Johnny Milton. I just wrote another verse for his doggerel about me.
- Paradise Lost. - Paradise now.
Paradise right here and now.
(SIGHS)
Paradise, right here, right now. Come here.
(GRUNTING) Come here. I'll show you what I mean.
(LAUGHS)
You cannot seduce me, demon.
(LAUGHING) Oh, yeah.
Is Molly in there with you?
- I'd like to talk to Molly. - Why, so you can help her?
I would like to talk to Molly.
So you can help her like you tried to help the others? (GASPS)
(MAN'S VOICE) What have you done?
My wife! My baby!
(DISTORTED VOICE) You're nothing but a failure, priest!
I wanna see Molly Hartley.
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING) Please help me.
(GROWLING)
(LAUGHING)
Did you enjoy that, Barrow? Was it everything you hoped for?
She's stronger than you think.
She's in there, and I'm gonna help her out.
(SCREAMING, ROARING)
Ah!
(SCREAMING, ROARING CONTINUE)
Was Molly an exceptional student?
HAWTHORNE: That's the thing.
In high school, she was an average student. Nothing special.
Then on her 18th birthday, everything changed.
Wharton School of Business, straight A's.
Graduated a semester early, magna cum laude.
Hired on at a top financial firm shortly afterward...
and made partner at 24.
It's almost like she had some sort of helping hand along the way.
What about in literature?
John Milton, Paradise Lost?
It's doubtful she'd have any of that knowledge.
Not from business school, anyway.
I have to review her high school academic file further.
So what do you think?
If you don't mind, I'd like to see somebody.
Consult with. Confidentially, of course.
(BELL CHIMING)
BARROW: Chaplain Davies.
(SIGHS)
- They let you out? - Not exactly.
What brings the prodigal son here to me?
I think there's a patient at Clovesdale that needs an exorcism.
I don't care if she spoke the entire Bible backwards in Aramaic.
There's no way the church is going to approve an exorcism in this day and age.
- I know. - Then what are you doing here?
Because in my experience, the girl is possessed.
So help her.
But know what you're doing might have serious consequences.
I know, but I'm not a priest anymore.
Don't have to be in the NBA to play basketball, right?
Is your reluctance really to do with what happened last time?
Yeah.
It is.
Wait here.
I have something for you.
I kept these for you, locked up down there.
God, wash away the iniquities of this building and cleanse it from its sins,
taking away all place of refuge for the dark one...
as he's vanquished from your humble servant, Molly Hartley.
(PANTING) Please,
come to my assistance who you've created in your likeness...

from the tyranny of the devil.

I come armed only with the faith in the Lord that banished you to the bowels of hell.

Not your belief in God or the devil.
You have to believe in yourself.
And in Molly.
My hour's upon thee, Barrow.
Today is the day. 666.
Six years, six months and six days...
since this stinking piece of flesh became impregnated with my spirit.
You know what this is?
(SIGHS) It's time, Barrow.
- Do you know what this is? - It's time for my birth!
- Answer me! - BARROW'S VOICE: "There was nigh unto the mountain...
a great herd of swine.
Forthwith, Jesus sent the demons into the swine.
And the herd ran violently into the sea and drowned in the waters."
That's very good.
Now you must know I'm going to cast you out of Molly,
by the power of Christ,
and send you into the swine.

By the name of Jesus Christ, my God and my Lord,

I'm Molly.
(EXHALES) Nice to meet you.
You know I can't repay you for what you did for me, right?
You don't have to repay me.
Thank you.
Good-bye, Molly Hartley.

It's done.
You have the cochon.
Give it to me.
I'll put it in my safe until the ceremony.
- Thanks for all your help. - It's nothing.
- You've done this ritual before? - No.
But I have confidence he will guide me.
It's safe down there?
Safe as anywhere else.
What is this?
It's the Sigil of Baphomet. It's the insignia of the Church of Satan.
I've been prepping myself for the ritual.
These symbols, what are they?
Did they teach you nothing in seminary?
I studied the removal of demons, not the celebration of them.
(SIGHS)
Let's sit down.
(FAINT GROWLING)
They're occult symbols that translate to "Leviathan."
Leviathan?
L-V-T-Y-N. Leviathan.
(GROWLING)
Members of the Church of Satan adorn themselves with the symbol.
What is Leviathan?
It's a version of their second coming.
The beast rises from a lake of fire.
Some people say it's the same creature as prophesied in Revelation.
When Anton LaVey wrote the Satanic Bible,
he broke it into four books.
He named the fourth and final book,
which deals solely with the beginning of end times,
"The Book of Leviathan."
They think they can raise it?
- Yes. - How?
By the performance of an occult ritual...
involving a contained spirit of the devil,
along with the performance of the greatest sin of all...
Matricide.
- Matricide? - The killing of the devil's mother.
The woman it grew inside of.
The woman it was birthed from.
Molly Hartley.
The cochon... I need to see it right now.
I don't think we should disturb it until after the ritual.
I need to see the cochon.
DAVIES: I'll take that.

Elliott. Thank God you're here.
I... There was no one at the front desk. I think I just got a prank call.
After everything that's happened, I guess I just scared myself.
Elliott?
What's wrong?
Elliott?
(DOOR UNLOCKS)
Let's go, now.
Where are you taking me?
To bear witness to his birth.
- Look, I... - To bear witness to his birth.
Now.
Take it easy.
All right? Take it easy.

Come, Lord of Darkness,

Restrain her!
Here.

Mighty Satan, we entreat you to accept this sacrifice...
of your very own mother...
The woman who bore your seed for 666,
the woman who brought you to term...
That you may return to us in blasphemy...
as the books of heaven and hell have prophesied.
(GASPS)
(GROANS)
Release the devil's spirit!
- Hail Satan. - ALL: Hail Satan.
Bring me the father.
(GASPS)
Why you doing this?
Being a lamb of God makes it easier to lead you to the slaughter.
You.
You killed those patients.
Witnesses.
And the devil's father shall bear witness to it all.
Devil's father?
You are the one who birthed him from his mother...
through your profane exorcism.
Okay. All right, listen to me. Don't hurt her, okay?
These are the devil's spirit.
And when they mingle with her slain blood...
- No, hey. - The Leviathan shall arise!
Let her go!

has been involved with this since you were born.
The police found his records in the chapel.
It has the names of all the cult members on it.
You're safe now. I won't let you down again.
I trust you, Father.
Thank you, both of you.
