The Appearing Page #4
She reported to her husband that
she'd felt rejected and alone..."
"...and had been invaded
by an invisible entity."
"When her husband was out
of town, Martha May claimed
she was being attacked
by an unseen force."
"...followed out to the Granville estate,
where an exorcism was attempted."
S-U-E-D-O...
"She killed herself with a blade
after a failed attempt of exorcism
by father Callahan of Cornerstone."
No!
Father Callahan.
"Martha May Hendricks is survived
by her husband deputy Jed Hendricks."
How could you lie about this?
You think you know a lot, but...
You don't know the whole story.
I know you're hiding behind this.
I wasn't acting under
God's authority and power
when I did the deliverance.
Was I wrong?
Absolutely.
What is it that you want from me?
My wife needs your help.
I can't.
Look, this-this... this is your
chance for redemption right here.
No one else has seen this before.
I need your help. I'm beggin' you.
I swore I wouldn't do it again.
Please.
I can't.
I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.
You're a coward! That's all
you are! You're a fake!
Oh my God.
What have you done?
S-U-E-D-O-M-S-A.
S-U-E-D-O-M-S-A.
I know what you did.
Your wife is a whore in hell.
You took everything from me.
Rachel!
Put the knife down, okay?
- Rachel.
- Rachel?
Oh, she's not here right now.
We can work this out, okay?
S-U-E-D-O-M-S-A.
S-U-E-D-O-M-S-A.
S-U-E-D-O...
S-U-E-D-O-M-S-A.
I've wandered through the
desert and found no rest.
"Swept and garnished,
but still empty."
Rachel!
Rachel!
"Go proclaim the word.
Whoever believes will be saved."
If you don't, you die.
Your blood spills.
"Oh, in my name they
will cast out demons,
speak in tongues, pick up snakes."
At the right hand of God I sit.
All authority on earth
has been given to me.
Rachel!
Rachel.
It's me.
It's Michael.
Hey, sweetie, listen,
it's gonna be okay, okay?
Hey! Rachel!
Rachel, listen to me!
Rachel, it's me!
It's me!
- Rachel!
- "I saw Satan fall
like lightning from heaven.
Behold, I have given you
authority to tread on serpents."
Rachel!
Lie with me, priest.
Take my body.
Taste it.
I know you want to.
Father, give me strength.
You're weak.
Taste my body, priest.
Touch it.
"You will not surely die."
Help me, father. I lay
my fears at your feet.
I know what you did. You ran away!
A scared-shitless priest.
You are a coward!
A fake!
- Give me your name!
- You wanna touch me.
- You wanna taste me.
- Give me your name.
Give me your seed, priest!
- Ha!
- Give me your name!
Fear me.
Doubts and lies, priest.
Doubts and lies!
You fake! Come on, priest.
Oh, you can do better
than that. I know you can.
Come on, hit me. Hit me really hard.
"Anointed guardian cherub, in the
midst of stones and fire you walk."
"I cast you as a profane evil from the
Mountain of God. And I destroy you!"
"You have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever!"
All of this I give to you,
if you bow down
and worship me.
- You're a fake. Who is your master?
- You're a coward! Say his name!
- Him I know. You I don't.
"I saw his spirit come down from
the sky like a dove." Say his name!
You're a coward. Say his name!
Say his name!
His name! "You have come
to a dreadful end!"
Say his name. Say his name!
Yeshua!
Yeshua!
Ye-shu-aaa!
This changes things,
doesn't it?
Hey, I think you're getting better.
- You know I'm not.
- No.
Why are you here?
'Cause we're on the
same side, Rachel.
I love you
and I will spend
the rest of my life showing you that.
You need to leave.
I'm sorry.
You were there
and you kept it a secret.
You know, when I was a kid
my daddy took me to the Rialto
to see "The Man Who
Shot Liberty Valance."
Mmm! John Wayne, Jimmy
Stewart, Lee Marvin.
When 'ol Liberty come
strolling through town,
he'd just take whatever
the hell he wanted.
That is until Ransom
Stoddard had the courage
to stand up for the town.
He got beat down, kicked, spit on,
but he looked fear in the eye
with courage and integrity.
That stuck with me.
Didn't give an inch.
What happened to your wife?
Jesus Christ, you gotta help us.
I can't do it without you!
I'm sorry. I can't do it! I'm sorry!
You can never satisfy
me the way that he did.
I carry his seed inside of me.
You're weak.
Hendricks, don't do it.
You're a fake.
Come on do it. Do it!
Hendricks, no, stop!
No!
Martha May, she brought
that demon into our home
where it dwelled and-and-and
seduced her and tortured her.
Michael, temp... temptation to
give into evil, it comes from us
and only us. She knew what she did.
There's no one to blame
but the s... seducing
and-and-and leering
flare-up of our own lust.
That's where my wife found
fulfillment, but it was a lie!
She allowed evil
to-to-to flourish and that
became the real killer!
- You killed an innocent person.
- She was not innocent!
She was in the arms of another man!
I did what I had to do.
That's a lonely way of
thinking, don't you think?
Funny thing about
that little fella...
so small, still carrying all
that weight by himself.
But he's still carrying it.
We all have our...
trove of secrets,
regrets.
That was the worst day
of my life, Michael.
There's not a day goes
by I don't run it over
and over and over and
over and over and over...
Oh God, I wish I could
stop my anger, that blade.
Pride comes...
Disgrace follows.
I...
I realize I don't have
what it takes anymore.
I'm done.
I'm finished.
"Wretched man that I am,
who will deliver me from
this body of death?"
I'm finished.
Mimic the one who
took a stand,
didn't give an inch.
I'll be damned.
You a religious guy?
God-fearing.
I believe that there are different
levels of evil in the world.
No rituals. No magic.
It already dwells in all of us...
that's it, that's the battle.
This is war.
There's no neutral ground.
What if I disappear, disappear?
What if I fall?
Would I ever make it
Back at all?
Dreaming, fading
Standing here
It's almost funny now
It's almost funny now
What if I disappear, disappear?
What if I fall?
Would anything be the same?
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
Dreaming, fading
Standing here
It's almost funny now
It's almost funny now
What if I disappear, disappear?
What if I fall?
Would anything be the same?
- Everything's changed
- Everything's changed
What if I run away,
run away, run away?
Went up in flames
How long can I hold on?
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed.
