Exorcismo Page #5

due to either hypnosis or drugs.

And what about Leila?

Regarding Leila, we know

she has been to those heretic circles.

She was probably tricked.

She was an adequate subject,

and she fell into the trap.

That's what I believe.

But there were times when apparent

demonic possession was frequent.

Do you mean the medieval witches?

They were almost always

poor hysterical women,

victims of their own ignorance

and the ignorance of others.

I've also read about Urbain Grandier

and the Ursulines of Loudun.

And also about Nicole Aubry,

"The Demon of Vervins,"

and Louise Lateau,

"The Belgian Stigmatic."

You weren't honest when you said

you only cared for tangible things.

Well, I did my research to be able

to talk with you about this.

You can't deny

they are very interesting cases.

You scientists would classify these cases

as hysteria-epilepsy,

catalepsy, somnambulism, et cetera.

Probably.

But the truth is, the Gibson family

trusts more in you than in doctors.

That doesn't surprise me.

Where science can't go,

faith may have a place.

Perhaps.

Yes. I did it.

I killed those pigs.

I had to free her from them

because her brother was torturing her.

How?

He watched her every step.

He kept asking her questions.

And why did you kill Harrington?

He wasn't worthy of her.

Why?

Because I love her.

Yes, I love her!

And I couldn't let that guy

put his dirty hands on her body.

I had to kill them.

- I had to do it!

- Take him.

We'll continue

with the interrogation later.

Don't think that you'll

get another word from me.

Come on, take him away.

"The evil spirit can also enter

the body of an animal,

turning the most docile creature

into a fierce beast

that will try to exterminate the man

wherever it finds him.

But this will only be

a temporary refuge for the devil,

since the human creature

is always the desired prey."

Leonard.

Good morning, Reverend.

- Hello, my dear Inspector.

- I've come from the Gibsons'.

Tell me. I'm listening.

Do you know there is news?

- Perhaps about Leila?

- No, she's more or less the same.

But Sandra, the maid, has disappeared.

The strange thing is

she left all her things behind,

and the suitcase was only half-packed.

Right. That's not normal.

Although lately

she seemed a little disturbed.

She talked to me

in a strange way yesterday.

The thing with the chauffeur

affected her a lot.

Well, well.

So you spoke to Sandra?

- Very interesting.

- I don't find it that interesting.

You like to exaggerate things

to confuse those you interrogate.

That's right, that's one of our tricks.

I must admit it.

Do you know that Udo Kleine

admitted killing John Gibson

and Richard Harrington?

What?

He confessed before he killed himself.

You didn't know that either?

I didn't.

His death solves the case almost entirely.

The confession

was made according to the rules.

But something clouds the situation.

The disappearance of the maid.

There are many dark elements.

Many loose ends. Don't you agree?

What do I know? You're the cop.

That's right.

Look, I have a strange theory.

Crazy, perhaps.

But it's an idea I'm obsessed with.

Do I have something to do with it?

In a way.

Let's say that behind all this

there's a powerful mind.

Someone with certain capabilities,

like, for example,

the ability to hypnotize.

Someone capable of using telepathy

and of inducing certain individuals

to perform specific actions.

It's not likely someone like that exists.

I talked with Dr. Lewton Buchanan,

and he doesn't rule it out.

He has his reasons.

But I don't believe so.

You have some very interesting qualities.

I've read your essays

about hypnosis and all that.

You need to know a lot about the subject

to be able to write about it.

You overestimate me, Inspector.

No, I'm only being fair.

Then you think I can be, let's say...

involved in something so terrible?

I told you, it's only a theory.

That's all.

Well, Reverend. You'll have to excuse me.

- So long.

- Wait a minute, Inspector.

About your theory...

I don't think you're completely wrong.

I also believe there's someone

with certain qualities behind all this.

But that someone is

much more powerful than you think.

Some rampant demon?

Why not?

Deborah.

Yes? Tell me.

Go and rest. I'm perfectly fine.

No, Leila. I'd rather stay with you.

And what if I ask you to please go?

It makes me nervous

to see you watching me.

Everything is OK now, Deborah.

You must listen to me.

All right. I'll go.

I'm glad you're OK now.

Very glad.

Beloved Leonard...

my darling...

my master.

I love you. I love you.

Come... my master!

"The exorcist should not conclude

someone is possessed by evil

until he has made sure that the possessed

is not really mentally ill."

Leila!

Leila!

The dirty b*tch.

You're not my daughter!

No, no! No!

You locked me up in that asylum

and left me there to rot

while you went to bed

with that disgusting doctor,

Lewton Buchanan.

That's not true! No!

It's true, damned whore.

How many did you cheat on me with?

How many?

Lawrence! You're Lawrence!

I'm Leonard.

I'm nobody, little whore.

Nobody.

Mom!

Mom, help me.

Help me.

Move away!

Don't put your dirty hands on me!

I'm Lawrence. I'm your husband.

Had you forgotten about me,

depraved whore?

Help me.

Please help me!

Hello?

Yes, Christian.

My God.

Is it possible?

All right.

I'll be there right away.

- Reverend.

- Where are they?

In the living room.

They're waiting for you.

Adrian! It was horrible.

She wanted to kill us all.

And she looked horrific!

Yes, I know, Patricia.

Christian told me everything.

Reverend.

You shouldn't wait any longer.

You have to do it.

She's possessed.

Do you know what's required

to perform an exorcism?

No.

I can't do it if there's any doubt

that the possessed is mentally ill.

That's not Leila's case. I can assure you.

Do you want to see her?

Yes. But I'd rather go alone.

Tell me.

This being inside my daughter...

what does it want?

What is it looking for?

Why? Why did he turn her

into something so...

so heinous? Why?

It's hard to answer that.

Perhaps Leila is not

what he wants, but us.

He wants to create hatred, to confuse us.

To make us look filthy and damaged.

Oh, no! My God!

The terrible thing is that if Leila

continues like this,

she'll die very soon.

Reverend, you have to try.

I want you to leave me alone with her.

Go to Dr. Buchanan's house.

I'll call you once everything is done.

And if you can't do it?

I'll have lost the battle.

But I'll win.

I'm a man of faith.

So it's you.

Poor Bork. Nobody remembers you.

Wait. I'll release you.

Sandra...

Hallucinations.

Listen, bastard.

We face each other again.

But you won't make me leave.

I'm very happy in this whore's body.

You are a filthy spirit, a loser,

and you will lose again.

Listen, Adrian. I'm John. She killed us.

Sandra, Richard, and me.

Don't make me leave.

I don't have anywhere to go.

No, you're not John.
