Exorcist II: The Heretic Page #4

Plastic saints, icons,

Buddhas, voodoo gris-gris...

Edwards is my name.

Ecumenical Edwards, they call me.

Philip Lamont, archaeologist.

It's nice to know you, Father.

what now?

Locusts!

Spraying for locusts!

This is the traditional route

of the plague!

They think they can stop them

with DDT!

- I've flown this route before!

- When was that?

It was...

It was on the wings of a demon!

Did he take you to Jepti?

Yes, he did.

Almighty God...

...help me.

I must find Kokumo.

I have resisted.

I have not called on Pazuzu.

Help me.

call me.

Regan.

call me by my dream name.

call me.

Pazuzu, prince of the evil spirits

of the air, take me to Kokumo.

I call upon you in the name

of Father Lankester Merrin.

How did you find me?

I saw you in the mind of a girl

who was possessed by Pazuzu.

- She is still in danger of dreams.

- How can I help her?

which girl would you help?

The one possessed by Pazuzu

or the one held by Father Merrin?

You must pluck out her evil heart...

...but Pazuzu has brushed you

with his wings.

You called on Pazuzu to reach me.

You've lost faith in your God.

You do not believe.

I do believe! I'll do anything

to help Regan! Anything!

Then prove your faith. Cross over.

My faith is in Jesus christ, reborn.

Prove it. Cross over!

Step out of your despair.

If Pazuzu comes for you,

I will spit a leopard.

can I help you?

I fell. I failed!

The heat, perhaps.

come inside, it's cooler.

- Who are you?

- My name is Kokumo.

- Did you know Father Lankester Merrin?

- Yes.

when I was young, in Ethiopia.

wonderful man.

He died while exorcising

the demon Pazuzu from a young girl.

- Were you ever...?

- Possessed by Pazuzu?

That's what my mother

used to tell me.

- Locusts?

- Yes!

Let me show you!

This is one of the main control

stations in equatorial Africa.

The key factor

is the brushing of the wings.

when it is dry...

...the grasshoppers go their own way,

happy individuals.

when a heavy rain hatches them

in large numbers...

...they crowd together.

Their wings brush against each other.

The agitation transforms them.

Here, you see them

in their various forms.

Most importantly, the brushing of

the wings changes their personality.

They become a destructive, voracious,

marauding swarm, with a single mind.

A locust mind, if you will.

The evil swarm sweeps over the earth,

possessing all that it touches.

Evil breeding evil by contact.

Is there no hope

once the wings have brushed you?

we try.

with the help of science.

Look at this young female.

She has been evolved to resist

the brushing of the wings.

At least, that is our hope.

we like to call her the Good Locust.

Her children will be

our agents in the swarm.

Breaking the chain reaction.

Remaining forever

happy-go-lucky grasshoppers.

Let us pray it succeeds.

The Good Locust?

- Where do you think you're going?

- It's okay.

I can't get you out of the bath.

oh, I lost the soap!

You got me all wet!

call back tomorrow.

You got me all wet, look!

Hello?

when?

Does Dr. Tuskin know?

well, where is the doctor?

Hold on, that could be Regan.

You!

It's all your fault.

Regan's sick. You stirred it up.

She's left the hospital.

God knows where she is!

- I have to see her.

- You have some nerve!

Please. I can help her.

only I can help her...

Leave us alone!

we don't wanna hear about demons

or God or anything!

Just get out of here!

They put you in a hospital.

Dr. Tuskin doesn't understand.

- Did you find the man with the leopard?

- I did.

Did he tell you how to fight Pazuzu?

He told me...

...good and evil

are struggling within you.

we must fight it.

I brought this with me.

The synchronizer?

why don't you phone the police?

No.

Gary? Linda?

Get your things.

I'll drop you at Miss Billing's.

That's no fair, Mom.

- I know, but I have to.

- What are you gonna do?

Find her myself.

And him too.

- Do you remember Sandra?

- Yes.

She's still talking.

You have a great gift.

Keep it from evil.

Pazuzu will brush me with his wings.

Don't be afraid.

Father Merrin will help us.

All right, Regan.

I'm ready. Bring me down.

He is with me.

come down.

Down, Father.

To meet me.

You're dying, Merrin, dying!

And your hopes die with you!

Not oniy Kokumo, but others iike him,

began to appear in the worid.

I found them where I couid...

...and tried to protect them

against evii.

So Satan has sent Pazuzu

to destroy this goodness.

why me?

I heal the sick.

Phiiip, you must take my piace.

She is precious,

and I entrust her to you.

Father?

what's...?

Father, wait!

Father, where are you going?

- Why would they come here?

- The synchronizer.

- It's gone! She's way ahead of us.

- I know she is.

- Any news?

- Regan's taken the synchronizer.

See me.

Please, see me.

Gene, it's her. Line two.

- Regan?

- Gene, look, I took the synchronizer.

I'm sorry, but I had to. I needed it.

I left it at the Dixie Hotel, room 27.

- Where are you?

- Penn Station.

- Is he with you?

- Yes.

He's going to Washington, isn't he?

To the house?

Regan, don't go with him.

I have to. It's my fault.

He's doing it for me.

Regan, iisten to me.

You're in terribie danger.

Gene, I gotta go. I'm sorry. Bye.

Penn Station.

Hey, stop that!

Stupid b*tch!

- Where are you going?

- Washington.

- I'm going with you.

- Call my kids. I'll be in touch.

Father, tickets!

Do you have any money?

No, I'm with him! He's sick.

They... They gave him an injection.

Leave her alone. She belongs to me!

It's an accident.

Doctor!

I need a doctor!

Drive on. Someone must

have called an ambulance.

well, Regan can wait, I guess.

wait! I'm a doctor. I'll help you.

Let me see.

Hold still.

The power.

It's getting nearer.

can't you feel it?

The power is immense. It fills me.

I can do anything.

Gene...

You called Gene, didn't you?

Father, please don't be lost to me.

- Why don't you loosen your tie?

- Thank you.

why are you looking at me like that?

The power.

I must take you there.

Did Kokumo tell you that?

He said...

...the Good Locust...

- We'll get a taxi. Quick, hurry!

- Yes.

Taxi! Taxi!

- There's one!

- Hey, lady!

Lady, that's my taxi!

Animals!

- Sorry about that.

- People!

Give him the address.

Georgetown. 8 Prospect Street.

- 8 Prospect Street?

- Yes! Come on, let's go!

Get going! The girl has to get home!

what now?

I'm gonna see about this!

- It won't do no good.

- She's a doctor.

- No difference. This is washington.

- Someone's dying.

Father, no!

Father, wait!

Driver, please hurry!

This is Prospect Street now.

There's the house.

I can't control it!

It's going crazy!
