able to successfully treat.

Well, then consider

the consequences.

You see, if I'm wrong,

Cassie loses her sanity.

If you're wrong,

she loses her soul.

Father, I am fully aware

of the consequences.

And I assure you,

that Cassie Stevens

will have the very

best in medical care.

Now, was there anything else?

No. That was it.

I appreciate your time.

We're all very concerned with

Cassie's well being, father.

By the way.

What happened to

that other patient?

She died. As a matter of fact,

right here in this hospital.

She was found with

her neck slit open.

Self inflicted. I am very

sorry to hear about that.

I'd like to leave this with you,

doctor, in case you run out

of those neurological causes.

Which I suspect you might.

This is a case for

demonic possession.

I lost my husband Jack

three years ago. And since then,

Katie's been my life.

Was my life.

Mrs. Dunne...

Please. Just, let me finish.

This belonged to Katie.

She used to take it with

her everywhere she went.

I want you to have it.

-Me?

-Yes.

No, really Mrs. Dunne.

It was your daughter's. I can't.

Please. Just take it.

I can't explain it.

But just something inside me tells

me that she wants you to have it.

Thank you. I'm so sorry.

I know you are, dear.

I know you are. And I forgive you.

I know you are, dear.

I know you are. And I forgive you.

And I know that Katie

forgives you too.

I see you took my advice.

What'd you think?

Not the book to be

reading when you're all alone.

No. I suppose it isn't.

And the book can't compare to

the experience itself.

You mentioned

that the other day.

About feeling their threat.

And a part of me has never

recovered from that experience.

It was a direct encounter

with hatred, Doug.

With a being that is so cruel, foul, and

superior, and without a trace of mercy.

It happened when I was assigned

to my first parish in Ohio.

There had been a series

of killings, murders in

the Columbus area, and the

police were finally tipped off

that a group of high school kids

were responsible for the killings.

They traced these kids to

an abandoned building.

Inside the building,

the found a basement.

And what they found there,

shocked even the most

hardened of them.

I was brought onto the case

because they suspected satanic

ritualism was involved.

But by the time I arrived,

it was too late.

During the night, the girl had

chewed through her own wrist.

But she left a message for us

on the wall, in her own blood,

Ava Satani.

Hail, satan.

Evil is real, Doug.

And so is the threat

it poses to the bodies,

and the souls of its victims.

You're Katie, aren't you?

I'm Cassie.

I know.

I'm so sorry, Katie.

Thank you.

He's wrong about the man.

Who's wrong?

The doctor.

You see him, too?

He's here right now.

Only God can help you, Cassie.

It's alright, Cassie.

You're in my office.

You're safe now.

What is it, Cassie?

What did you see?

The little girl.

The one I've been seeing.

I know who she is now.

Her name's Katie.

She was killed in the other car.

This little girl.

Did she say anything to you?

Yeah. She said you're

wrong about the man.

And, she gave me this.

Come in.

I've got the results from the MRI

you ordered for Cassie Stevens.

Good.

Let's have a look.

Were there any abnormalities?

None the radiologist could find.

Said it looked like

a normal human skull.

What about the other files?

Anything there?

Pretty much the same.

If there's anything

going on up there,

it sure didn't show up

on the test results.

Apparently not.

Do you wanna try again?

Maybe recalibrate,

and run a few more tests?

No, I don't think so.

Thank you, Charlie.

Not a problem, doctor.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Hello?

Is someone there?

I'm sorry. But the church

is closed for the night.

Lord. Are you okay?

I didn't come for the church,

father. I came for you.

Page 52. Cynthia, locate

the article from New York

Reporter referencing footnote 8.

Hello?

Hello?

Who's there?

Mrs. Johnson?

Everything alright?

Working late, Dr. Switzer?

Yes. Apparently too late.

Yeah. Don't you worry.

I'll get these lights fixed up in no

time. I'm sure it's just a fuse.

Well, I guess it's time

for me to call it a night

anyway. Goodnight, Todd.

Goodnight, doc.

You drive safe now.

Have Cynthia schedule a meeting with

Fr. Jenkins at St. Matthews Parish.

This is Dr. Switzer,

Hillview Medical Center.

If this tape recording is found,

deliver it to Fr. Jenkins,

St. Matthews Parish.

Father, I'm afraid you were right in

your assessment of Cassie Stevens.

Cassie, if you hear this, you

must see Fr. Jenkins right away.

Your life depends on it.

I'm so sorry, Doug.

Thanks.

If you'd like, I can go ahead and

make arrangements for his funeral.

No. You don't have to do that.

You should go home.

Really, it's no trouble.

It's probably better if

I keep myself busy anyway.

I'm gonna miss him.

I didn't know who

to give this to.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Cassie, if you hear this, you

must see Fr. Jenkins right away.

Your life depends on it.

Fr. McCready.

Father, it's Justin.

I think something's wrong.

What is it?

Cassie's phone, it's dead.

It rings once,

then just goes silent.

I've tried like five times.

Is it disconnected?

It's her home phone,

and her cell.

Get over there right now.

I'm on my way.

Cassie?

Honey, are you awake?

Do you want to ride

with me to the airport?

He's coming, Cassie.

You need to go.

Mom? Dad?

Phone rings.

Hello? Hello?

Phone rings.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Come.

No. But you're dead.

It's time for you

to join us, Cassie.

We'll be together again,

Cassie. Just like before.

Take the knife, Cassie.

Cassie!

Cassie?

Justin?

Cassie?

Justin! Over here!

They're here.

They're in this room.

Come on, we'll get

you out of here.

No. There's no time.

We need to do this now.

Can you do this?

Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.

Here, hold this candle.

Hold it so I can read.

Can you read for the assistant?

Yeah. Of course.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Justin. I need you to

focus.

Okay.

Be merciful on us, Lord,

and save this young child,

Your servant.

Because she hopes in You,

Lord.

Be a tower of strength

for her, Lord...

Be a tower of strength

for her, Lord...

In the face of the

enemy...

Let the enemy have no

power over her...

And let the son of

iniquity not succeed

in injuring her...

Lord, hear my prayer...

And let my cry reach you.

Go, father!

God of mercy, come to

the assistance of this child,

you created in Your own Image.

And cast into the bottomless pit

the spirit that torments her.

We drive you from her unclean

spirits and all satanic powers

in the Name and power of our

Lord, Jesus Christ.

Justin!

Cassie...

Cassie...

-Cassie... Come with us.

-Come with us, Cassie.

Cassie...

Cassie...

Join us, Cassie...

Be a part of us.

Come with us.

Come with us,
