The Exorcism of Molly Hartley

Father Barrow?

Father James asks if you're ready.

He needs you now.

Will you bejoining us?

I fear not.

Depart, accursed one.

Depart with all your deceits.

Depart then, transgressor.

Depart, seducer,

full of lies and cunning,

foe of virtue,

persecutor of the innocent.

Give place,

abominable creature.

Give way, you monster.

Give way to Christ,

in whom you found

none of your works.

For he has already stripped you of your

powers and laid waste your kingdom,

bound you prisoner

and plundered your weapons.

He has cast you forth

into the outer darkness,

where everlasting ruin

awaits you and your abettors.

To what purpose do you insolently resist?

To what purpose

do you brazenly refuse?

For you are guilty

before Almighty God,

whose laws

you have transgressed.

You are guilty before his Son,

our Lord Jesus Christ,

whom you presumed to tempt.

You are guilty

before the whole human race,

to whom you proffered by your

enticements the poison cup of death.

Amen.

Is the cochan prepared?

Expulsion is near.

Therefore, I adjure you,

profligate dragon,

in the name

of the spotless Lamb,

who has trodden down the asp

and the basilisk...

and overcome the lion

and the dragon,

to depart from this woman

and her unborn child,

to depart

from the church of God.

And when he had cast you out,

you did not even dare,

except by his leave,

to enter into a herd of swine.

And now, as I adjure you

in his name,

begone from this woman and her unborn

child-

Please help me.

Help me. Save me.

My baby. Let me go.

Depart then, impious one-

My baby. Let me go. Please.

Do what you know is right.

For my baby.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Trust me.

- - Father, please.

The baby is coming.

Help me. Please.

Do whafs right!

Yes. Yes.

...give place to the Lord Jesus Christ,

who shed his most precious blood for man.

She's going into labor. We have

to help her.

...from whose sight

nothing is hidden.

It is he who repels you,

to whose might all things are subject.

Please, Father. Help me.

Please. Do whafs right.

Please, Father.

What are you doing, Father?

Father, you will always be

a fool for the flesh!

No!

What have you done?

MY wife. My baby.

Good evening, Father.

Evening to you, Elliott.

[ Woman On

PA j Lights out in 75 minutes.

I'm Henry Davies.

I'm the chaplain

at Clovesdale.

And my attorney tells me

you're the guy to thank...

for being transferred here

instead of prison.

It was nothing. I play basketball

with the attorney general.

I convinced him that you'd be..

best in a Catholic-run institution.

Besides, it was you who had to accept

the plea of insanity to make this work.

Look.

I received official notice

from the Vatican, and, uh,

I've been instructed

to pass it over to you.

You've been dismissed

from your clerical state.

By papal decree,

no less.

"From this moment forth,

you are expressly forbidden

from exercising ministerial functions. "

Yeah.

Sorry.

I did all I could.

So I'm no longer a priest.

You understand the decree

that's been handed down to you?

Yes, I do.

Very well.

May God watch over your soul,

John Barrow.

John, I'm going to be

retiring soon.

Until I do, I'm gonna be saying mass

every day in the chapel at 8:00 AM.

You're welcome

to join us.

Thank you.

Party hearty!

Luckiest girl

in the whole wide world, right?

Cheers. Happy birthday!

Whoo!

Oh, my God.

You guys, six years ago,

I never would have thought...

that I would be here,

doing this on my birthday.

Thank you so much.

The youngest woman

to make partner...

deserves to let loose

on her 24th birthday.

Nobody anywhere has ever

made partner below 30.

Do you know how fortunate

you are right now?

You would not have said that

if you knew me in high school.

- Right?

- Yeah.

You're the best.

Hey.

Hey! Lydia!

Yeah.

Molly, meet Lydia.

Lydia, Molly.

We got a lot of complaints about noise

from your neighbors early this morning.

You having a party?

Oh, no. I was celebrating my birthday.

You mind if we come in

and take a look around?

No. No. Come on in.

We've also had complaints...

about shouting and yelling

coming from your apartment.

Sorry, Officer.

Y- Yeah. I'm fine.

I'm a little bit hungover,

but yeah.

Okay. Well, please stay here

If you didn't kill them,

Ms. Hartley, then who did?

Dear Heavenly Father,

thank you for this day.

Thank you for my being able

to wake once again,

to see and to hear

this morning.

Amen.

Amen.

I'm proud of you, Barrow.

A man of lesser faith would have turned his

back on God after what you've been through.

Excuse me

while I make my final rounds.

Hey. What are you gonna do with all your free

time once you've retired from this place?

I'll be teaching

at a local seminary,

where there's a residency

awaiting me.

Besides that, what else?

Drinking a lot of beer,

playing a lot of basketball.

Which you're welcome

to do with me...

when they release you

from this place.

Thanks.

No! No! No!

Hanley, Molly.

You are being held here for a court-ordered

evaluation. it's for your own good.

How was
