The Cloth
Release your presence in the
name of the Lord.
Release your presence
in the name of the Lord.
Release your presence
in the name of the Lord.
Release your presence in...
Shove that cross up your ass.
You're going to Hell, priest.
Release your presence in the
name of the Lord.
Release your presence in the
name of the Lord.
You're not welcome here.
Release your presence in the
name of the Lord.
You're not welcome here!
You're not welcome here.
Release your presence
in the name of the Lord.
You're not welcome here!
Release your presence
in the name of the Lord.
She belongs to us, now.
Release your presence in the
name of the Lord!
Father, she is lost.
Your God have no presence here.
Release your presence
in the name of the Lord.
Father Connely?
Father?
# Hallelujah
So I don't see a ring...
...any friends
or girlfriends, so, um...
Hell yeah.
Go away.
Clean in the morning.
Rise and shine, Jason.
What the...
What do you want, Diekmen?
Thought I'd stop by and provide
you with a little support.
I figured you'd need it
on a day like today.
blessings, you know that?
You've been allowed
to see yet another day.
Maybe you didn't
hear me earlier...
What do you want?
We leave in a few hours.
Will your lady friend
be joining us?
That's, uh... Julia.
Nah, I don't think she will be.
Shall I wake her?
Nah.
I got an open door policy.
She can let herself out.
Ah, I see.
Shall we go then?
After you.
Eddie Bunkley...
Do you understand
why I made the decision
on wether or not
to accept your plea deal,
and why it would
be made public?
Yes, your honor.
Then you also understand that I
cannot ignore the D.A.'s excursion
of your last stint
as a free man?
The man who entered
prison ten years ago
was lost and without faith.
Now that don't
make what I did right,
but I am a better man, your
honor.
Given the reports
of your good behavior
and taking into consideration
the intel you provided
through your co-operation
on a high profile case,
it is the state
and the court's decision
to grant you your release.
Jason.
Not now, old man.
I've had enough of your
God's justice for one day.
Without forgiveness,
there can be no love.
Can't you see that?
You should feel proud
we live in a place
where we don't hold
darkness in our hearts.
What I see, Father, is that
you and people like you
are no better than he is.
That just got off
for killing my family,
so don't tell me
how I should feel.
I'm not a little kid anymore,
and Dad's not around
to help force feed me
your religious bullshit.
You must learn to forgive,
or the darkness will
consume you from within.
Father Connely is dead.
I need you to come to the old
church where you grew up.
A lot has changed.
I have something
of your father's,
that he wanted you to have.
I can't breathe when you hold
my head down like that, Roddy.
Cindy...
...baby...
...I'm just trying to make
sure you do it right.
That's all.
You're so cute when you
think I'm mad at you.
What the hell, Roddy?!
- Well good grief, baby!
- That kinda hurt.
Well good grief, baby!
There's a dumb son of a b*tch
in the middle of the road.
Well, maybe he's sick
or something.
Hey, buddy!
Move your ass outta the road!
Babe...
Just go around.
Nah, I ain't gonna stand
for this sh*t.
Hey!
Move your ass outta the road!
Hey... hey!
- Babe, what's going on?
- What are you doing?
It's all a bit much, isn't it?
Most churches have
Bibles and crucifixes,
not swords and...
...okay.
I see you remembered
how to get here.
It's not Sunday, so I'm
not missing any games.
Thought I'd come turn a
little water into wine.
After you.
The very basis of our belief
stems from the arrival
of the Apostles,
from such places as Jerusalem,
Africa, and even Asia.
With the spread of Christianity
throughout the Roman Empire.
Upon the turn of the second century,
the Papacy, as you know it today,
was constantly ever-changing.
With one central point
being our Savior, Jesus Christ.
You're killing me, man.
Upon the destruction
of the western Roman Empire,
the church in the West was a
major factor
in preserving
classical civilizations;
Establishing monasteries,
and sending missionaries
to the people
of far northern Europe...
...as far as Ireland,
in the North.
So what exactly is your point?
My point, Jason, is what
isn't written or taught
is the existence
of an establishment,
Esorcistato,
which was created
during ancient times
to combat the dealings
or as you know it,
"demonic possessions."
A rite formed,
to monitor
and perform exorcisms
on the damned...
...known as The Cloth.
"The Cloth."
So what you're telling me is
there's a group of old people
out there wandering the globe, aimlessly
fighting a war with the devil?
It's not as simple as that,
but...
Basically,
that's what I'm saying, yes.
Okay, wow.
Diekmen, I knew you were crazy,
but this?
This is a stretch,
even for you.
Spinning their heads,
spittin' up pea soup...
Ephpeta, quod est, adaperire.
Be open.
Appropinquabit enim
judicium dei.
What is this place?
Appropinquabit...
Jason, be still.
Don't move.
Pax tibi.
Pax tibi.
It's alright, Jason.
Her name is Nybass.
Mind your eyes!
She's an amphonxious spiritous.
What is it?
Two spirits, one body.
One good...
...and one bad.
Where'd she come from?
Texas.
What you see before you
is someone who is possessed,
and in a rare case,
found herself battling
within her own body.
She managed to keep
some of her motor functions
and cognitive functions separate
from the demon within her.
Nybass...
I believe you know
why I'm here.
It is time.
You must begin the sacrament.
The crossover
has already begun.
Beware, Father.
Before the souls are gathered,
you will breathe
your last breath.
What the hell was that,
back there?
You guys just keep that thing
locked up underneath the church?
What's with the whole
dead animal/hand puncture...
I realize you must have
a lot of questions.
Questions are for
history lessons.
All I need to know is the
next flight back home,
because apparently there's
something going on here
that I don't want
to be a part of.
Can you think of someone
other than yourself
for a change?
There is a lot more
going on here
than you can
begin to grasp, Jason.
There is a war coming,
and we don't have
that much time.
What do you mean?
I need to begin the sacrament.
So for the moment,
try and learn as much as you can
from Laurel, our gatekeeper.
She's responsible for recording and
organizing all of our actions,
past and present.
Remain focused.
There is much to do.
The Apostles
were more than philosophers.
The clergy,
during the holy war,
had to be well equipped
in order to deal with
extreme cases
of demonic possession.
You have to remember
that back in those days,
any unexplainable event was met
