Exorcist House of Evil Page #2

A spokesman for a.M.I

industries,

which is responsible for

residential trash pickup

in the area,

says that the company is

cooperating fully with the

county.

The clerk's office had no

comment,

citing an ongoing investigation.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're just receiving reports

of an officer involved shooting

which has closed parts

of natural bridge road.

Witnesses are telling our

reporters

at least one St. Louis

county officer was shot

while another was fatally

injured

when the driver of a stolen

SUV exited his vehicle

and began firing on the busy

street.

We'll keep you updated on the

condition

of the injured officer...

- Luke, when you get this call

me.

I love you.

- At this hour, natural

bridge road remains closed,

and authorities are

suggesting...

- Luke, I'm serious, damnit!

Call home now!

Faye?

Faye, it's Amy.

Is your dad home?

Can I talk to him?

Gordon?

Is Luke with you?

He was okay after his shift,

right?

Well, I tried his phone,

and I'm watching the news,

and I just say that...

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Nothing's wrong.

Everything's okay.

- Ladies and

gentlemen,

we're just receiving reports,

of an officer involved shooting,

which has closed parts

of natural bridge road.

Witnesses are telling our

reporters

at least one St. Louis

county officer was shot.

- We've been though this.

You can't call me every time

you get a feeling.

- I just need to know that

you're okay.

- Sweet potato, I'm always okay.

But I can't always take

calls in the field.

Sometimes I don't even

have my phone on me.

You know that.

- It was after your shift.

You should have picked up.

- You're right.

You are right.

I should have.

But you also know that if

something did happen,

I would call.

Or someone would.

Right?

- Seriously?

Stupid storm.

Hello?

Oh my god.

Damn it.

Luke?

I know I'm not supposed

to call you at work,

but I think somebody's in the

house.

- Must be at the pole.

Damn it.

We're gonna have to get that

fixed.

- Look at this.

- Damn kids tagged down here

too.

Lucky they didn't burn

the whole place down.

- No Luke.

Look at it.

This is not new.

Look at that car.

It's old.

- We'll get it painted over.

- This.

This is new.

- Okay.

I'll...

Get the locks changed tomorrow.

See about an alarm.

Okay?

Why did you come over here by

yourself?

- I just wanted to drop off some

stuff.

- You wanted to stake a claim

so Gordon couldn't say no.

You should have asked me.

- You would have said no.

- Maybe I would have helped.

I don't know why you always

try to make everything such a

secret.

- Did Gordon say something?

- He didn't have to.

I know you don't sleep.

I know you have nightmares.

- That has absolutely

nothing to do with...

With our house.

- Your parents?

- No.

- That why Gordon's so

protective of you?

He hasn't said anything.

I can just tell.

He's looking out for you.

- When I was a kid,

I used to hear voices.

Telling me to come here.

To the house.

- What kind of voices?

- It was just stupid kid stuff.

- This one?

Clear.

You never told me...

These voices.

- I didn't want you thinking i

was crazy.

Or Gordon.

- Why would I think Gordon's

crazy?

- He used to hear them too.

- No signs of forced entry.

Anybody else in your

family hear these voices?

- Aunt Margaret.

But I don't think that's

why she closed the house.

I think she was hiding

something.

- What?

- I don't know.

But I'm not going to let it

chase me out of our house.

- It's not our house yet.

You lost them under here?

- Yeah.

- Bad day to lock your keys in

the car.

- Can you just open it, Gordon?

- Let me get my slimjim.

- Hey.

It happens all the time.

They're probably just

locked inside the car.

- I told you I locked

the keys in the house.

- Okay.

- I can get you in, but you're

still

gonna need your key to start it.

- Just do it.

- Hey, I can drop you at the

apartment.

- No, you need to get back to

work.

- I can be late.

- Luke, I'm fine.

I told you I lost the keys

inside.

I was just afraid that

somebody was in the house.

I checked and their isn't,

so I'll go inside, find the

keys,

and drive myself home.

- Amy?

- I lost those inside the house.

- You're welcome.

- I'm not crazy.

Sweet potato, I know.

It happens to everyone.

See you tonight.

- Amy?

Hi, I'm father halloran.

I'm told you wanted to see me.

- Is there some place

we could talk, father?

- Of course.

Sister Mary Katherine likes

to keep it dark in here.

I think it reminds her of a

confessional.

Please.

Have a seat.

- Do you have any experiences

with ghosts?

- Ghosts?

No.

Technically, the church has no

official position on ghosts.

- But what about something

that might haunt a house?

Evil spirits?

- Well, the Bible does have

something

to say on that subject.

But evil spirits are very rare.

I'd rule out noisy plumbing

or rats in the walls first.

- I know it sounds stupid.

- No.

No.

Trust me, it's not stupid.

The real question though is,

why do you believe your house is

haunted?

- I don't.

My cousin does.

He thought that maybe

a blessing would help.

- But you don't.

- I don't believe in...

This.

- Skepticism is the

beginning and end of wisdom.

In jesuit school they

teach us logic and debate.

Not to bolster our faith, but to

test it.

- And you're gonna tell me that

all the answers are in there.

- No.

But I will tell you a wonderful

story

that was told to me by

a good friend, a rabbi.

Once, two very learned rabbi's

lived in the same town.

People came from miles around

to hear these rabbis argue.

If one rabbi said hot,

the other said cold.

If one said light, the other

said dark.

One day a man came to the town.

He went to the first rabbi

and he asked him this question.

Can you teach me the whole of

the torah

while standing on one foot?

Well, the rabbi became

very angry with the man.

He told him it was a

preposterous question,

and he threw him out of his

house.

So the man went to the second

rabbi.

He asked him the same question.

Can you teach me the whole of

the torah

while standing on one foot.

The rabbi immediately stepped

on the man's foot and said

do unto others as you would

have them do unto you.

That is the whole of the torah.

The rest is commentary.

Now go and study.

- Meaning.

- Meaning answers is simple.

Faith takes effort.

- How does this fit in?

- Where did you get that?

- My aunt Margaret.

- Margaret starke is your aunt?

- How did you know that?

- Get that out of here.

- Why?

- Take that thing and get out.

- What did it...

- I said take that and get out!

- So you're saying you scratched

yourself under the bed,

and this scratch looks like a t?

- Yeah.

The same t.

There.

- That could be a coincidence.

- Does that look like a

coincidence?

- Maybe.

Okay, let's say it is a t.

Let's say it's the same t.

What does tes stand for?

- I think they're initials.
