Sacrilege Page #4

From last night.

Oh my God.

Those poor people.

I'm afraid that's not all.

Ted, if you would.

My eyes.

Someone help me, please.

My eyes.

Please, someone just let me die.

- Please, someone help me.

- Stop it.

Please.

If you can hear me...

I said stop it, goddamnit!

I'm sorry you had to experience that.

Why would it do that to her?

Demons seek to harm, to trap.

To do anything in their power

to keep a soul from

traveling to its final rest.

Make no mistake.

These souls are in agony.

They are by all account in hell.

Oh God.

Can we save her?

I believe so.

And more pressingly, you as well.

Yeah, and how do you plan to do that?

I believe we should perform an exorcism.

A what?

You mean like with a priest?

The authority to cast

out demons and evil spirits

doesn't rest within

the archaic structure

of the Catholic church,

but in the authority given to Christians

who are redeemed by the blood of Christ.

John 1:
12.

Christians have the right to

be called the children of God.

So, I can help you.

In fact, she's better than a priest.

Oh, that's just great.

She's versed in other

methods of expulsion.

So if something goes wrong,

she can adapt, try something else.

But we're not possessed.

We're not puking up green bile.

This thing isn't trying to inhabit you.

It's trying to control you, consume you.

And if we don't separate what

binds you, it will succeed.

Can you set it in the box, please.

What's with the salt?

It acts as a purifier.

It should lessen

the supernatural activity

you've been experiencing

and hopefully weaken

it by this afternoon.

I should have everything

we need at my office.

Do you want me to come with you?

No.

No, if something happens,

I don't want you to miss it.

Keep the cameras rolling if you can.

Got it.

Everything will be fine.

I promise.

You know what always

makes me feel better?

Greasy pizza.

I can't imagine what you

guys have gone through.

Hell, continue to go through.

Is it gonna be bad?

It's best not to think about it.

But when it's over,

you're gonna be free.

And she can do this?

The exorcism, I mean.

She can.

Dr. Harris is an amazing woman.

There was this young boy.

He had an imaginary

friend he called Mr. Man.

It told him to define awful things.

He burned his dog alive.

He even tried to stab his

six month old little brother.

His parents tried doctors and shrinks.

But Mr. Man always came back.

Somehow they got our number,

so we investigated.

Dr. Harris and I performed an exorcism.

And finally, after several days,

Mr. Man left.

It almost killed Elizabeth.

But last I heard, that kid starts

high school next year.

So try not to sorry about it, okay?

Everything'll work out.

Yep.

All right, I'll tell them.

That was the doc,

she'll be back in a few.

So, who wants the last slice?

All you.

All right, let's get this over with.

Where do you wanna set up?

Dining room should be sufficient.

All right, let's do it.

Let's get this done quickly.

I wanna do this before night.

You need anything else?

Just your absolute trust.

Ready?

You know, I haven't had

a moment to cry for Samantha.

Been so f***ing scared for my own life,

I haven't even really

had a chance to grieve.

It's understandable.

Doesn't make it right.

I did this to us.

I killed her.

And maybe us.

No, no.

Don't do that to yourself, okay.

This is just a f***ed up situation.

I mean, I can't believe

we are even considering

a f***ing exorcism.

What's the alternative?

Die?

It's just, an exorcism

sounds so f***ing mystical,

you know?

I mean, I was expecting

someone with a PhD

to give us a more realistic solution.

I guess unrealistic situations

call for unrealistic solutions.

I guess.

But whatever happens this

afternoon, I love you.

We're ready.

Just a second.

You know, it's not

too late to reconsider.

Of course it is.

You just make sure

I look good out there.

You do a good job of that on your own.

If it goes wrong, finish the book.

I'll give this to you

the moment we're done.

You know I couldn't do

this without you, right?

Hey dad.

Yeah, not getting your money's worth.

Just a rough day.

Pop quiz.

How's mom?

Good.

Good.

Well, um,

I gotta go.

Plenty to do.

Okay.

Bye dad.

We're ready.

Don't break the circle and

you should be fine.

I apologize for any discomfort.

In the name of the...

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Our father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on Earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

In the name of God almighty,

I demand you, release

these children of God.

God demands it.

I demand it.

Free them now.

Doc.

That just means we have its attention.

Holy Michael, archangel,

defend us in this day of battle.

Be our safeguard against the wickedness

and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

Thrust down to hell satan

and all other evil spirits

who wander through the world

seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

You have no hold over these souls.

You have no right to that

which belongs to the one true God.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, look.

Hold your ground.

They're just trying to scare us.

It's working.

What the f***.

Cole, don't move.

That's what they want.

What, are you f***in' nuts?

Cole, don't leave me.

You cannot save them.

You cannot save us.

You cannot save yourself.

In the name of the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit.

God is not with you.

You have no power.

No, it you who have no power.

You have made a life of death.

The light will give you what you seek.

God is the light.

You will free these children of God.

We command you.

He commands you.

I command you.

Go home.

You're free.

And you.

Go back to the hell that spawned you.

What happened?

That's over.

We won.

What will you do with it?

Figure out a way to destroy it.

Not 'til we study it.

It's not tethered to anyone,

so it's harmless at the moment.

What about Sam?

Is she gonna be okay?

She's free.

I don't know how to thank you.

Is there anything we

can do to repay you?

You signed the releases, right?

Letting us share your

story is thanks enough.

Yeah.

I gotta be honest.

I don't really feel any different.

You've been through a lot.

Just give it some time.

We about ready?

This is the last of it.

Just give me a moment.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Ted.

Ted, get in here!

Now!

- Quickly!

- Wait here.

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Oh no.

Oh God, no, no.

No, no, no.

No.

They're still in danger.

How you doing?

Let's worry about you guys first.

Cole, you ready?

Yeah, I'm coming.

All right, so, how can

we f*** this up any more?

Don't give up yet.

Dr. Harris shared two

other options with me.

I sure as sh*t hope they're better

than the last one she came up with.

Cole.

She died trying to help you.
