Molly. Molly.

Molly.

Molly.

Molly!

[ ThumpiflQ 1

Molly. Molly.

Molly. Molly. Molly.

We're getting stronger.

No!

[Gasping 1

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, God. Excuse-

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Someone help me!

Someone help me, please!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God.

Somebody help me!

Get out!

Get out!

Hello, Molly.

I'm Dr. Laurie Hawthorne.

I know who you are.

I'll be meeting with you several

times a week while you're here...

for evaluation as we prep you for

your future beyond these walls.

You aren't scared

to be in here with me?

Should I be?

You read the file?

I have.

Says here you had a complete

and total mental breakdown-

a breakdown that started

on your 24th birthday.

Is that right?

We'll be evaluating you here with us

for the next 30 days.

I'm- I won't be here

that long.

What is it, Molly?

Whatever it is, we're here

to help you through it,

to help you

to the next stage.

What do you mean,

the next stage?

Of your life.

Molly, your father committed suicide

in a mental institution...

after he was found guilty

of murdering your mother.

How much do you remember

of that?

Does my file tell you...

that my parents

were also into the occult?

Of course.

I'm not insane,

Dr. Hawthorne.

I don't think

that you are.

I'm possessed.

Molly, multiple personalities are-

You think

you can help me'?

You have no idea

what you're dealing with.

Molly, I can

only help you if you're-

I had a counselor like you once.

In high school.

She thought she knew

what was best for me too.

She's dead now.

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor. Doctor. Doctor!

Doctor!

Harileyfls counselor, Dr. Emerson,

boyfriend, Joseph Young,

were eventually found

to have ties to the occult.

Both were found dead

in a bizarre double suicide...

shortly after Hariley

escaped from their cult...

and moved to Michigan

to start a new life.

She did this.

She brought him here.

We need to do something.

Molly, today I would

like to talk about your past.

I'd like to talk

about the occult.

I want you to know

that I am not like them.

You can trust me.

I want whafs best for you.

Do you know that, Molly?

I'm here to help you

through this.

Molly?

Molly?

Molly, are you okay?

What's happening?

Oh!

My master says hello.

Our Father,

which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be

done in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread...

and forgive us our trespasses as we

forgive them who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom

and the power and the glory,

forever and ever.

Amen.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop!

Stop it!

Dr. Ham/theme, you've

got to come see this.

On my WHY

Oh, my God.

Molly?

Molly.

Molly!

Molly.

Stop!

Molly, settle down.

Hello, Molly.

How are you feeling?

I'm sorry I had to do this,

but ifs for your own protection.

You hurt yourself badly.

In rereading the transcripts of your

case, I was struck by something.

You claimed

that on your 18th birthday,

you were essentially

possessed by the devil.

Correct?

But you testified you believed

that this was only the first phase.

You quoted your school counselor,

Dr. Emerson,

the woman who betrayed you,

as saying,

"We have watched you grow.

There are

great things ahead.

You are the one. "

You said in court that you've come to

believe that what she meant by that...

was that you will be the one who will

return Satan to this mortal coil.

Is that correct?

You believe your possession on your

18th birthday is like a pregnancy-

a pregnancy you thought would

come to term in your 24th year.

Don't you see, Molly?

Maybe this is some sort of psychosomatic

self-fulfilling prophecy.

You believed this would happen

on your 24th birthday,

so now your mind

is willing it to be.

And ifs manifesting physically

with the vomiting and the noises.

Why else would this- this possession

need to incubate from 18 to 24?

Can you tell me why, Molly?

Molly?

I have been

thinking about it.

And?

It's because

it's six years later.

Six years, six months,

six days, to be exact.

But six months and six days

after your 24th birthday-

That's only

a few days away.

[ Growling 1

Stop.

Molly, I can't understand

what you're saying.

I can't understand

what you're saying, Molly.

Stop it! Stop it!

Molly?

Molly.

He's coming!

"He's coming. " 7:06.

7:
06.

Sixth hour and 66 minutes.

Father.

Father.

Please, Father.

Please, Father.

Help me.

Wham you say'?

Please. Please.

Do whafs right.

Hey, Barrow. Bedtime.

Orderly!

Molly?

Molly.

Code gray!

Help! Help!

We need restraints in here now!

Help! Now!

I'm coming!

Excuse us, please.

Father Barrow.

I haven't been called that

in a while.

I need to talk to you

right away.

Of course.

It's one of

our other patients.

Molly Hartley?

Yes.

I think she's possessed.

Then what you need

is a priest.

I read that once a man is ordained

as a priest, he's always a priest.

What you need is a priest that's

still ordained by the church.

Things are happening.

Unexplainable things.

Can we talk

somewhere else?

I read that there are

two types of exorcisms-

solemn and unofficial.

A solemn exorcism has to

be approved by the church.

An unofficial exorcism

can be performed by a layperson.

Someone's been doing

their homework.

After all the lawsuits

and bad media attention,

the Roman Catholic church no longer even

teaches priests how to perform exorcisms.

As of last year, there's only 17

trained exorcists in all of America.

Including me.

Including you.

Yeah.

And of those 17,

only one has been involved

in an actual exorcism.

Me.

You.

You know the ritual

of exorcism, Barrow.

You no longer need approval.

Think of this

as your redemption.

There's no such thing. Please.

go to the cops.

They won't believe me.

Just take a look at her.

This young woman, she needs you.

She's in pain.

We have no time.

What about your freedom?

You do this for me, I sign your

release papers. Simple as that.

It's not that simple.

When did this happen?

Last night at 7:
06.

How do you know that?

Because all of

the watches and clocks...

stopped at that

exact same time last night.

Sixty-six minutes

after the sixth hour.

He's here!

His time is near!

His time is near!

Save us!

Everyone to their rooms.

Lockdown in efiect.

Mind if I have a moment

to talk to the patient alone?

Of course.

Hello, Molly.

My name is John Barrow.

I know who

you are, Father Barrow.

I'm not an actual priest

anymore.

So stupid.

Pardon me?

Like bringing a knife

to a gunfight.

I'm not talking to Molly,

am I?

No.

I'd like to talk to Molly.

No Molly. Only us.

Us who?

"And he asked him,

'What is thy name?'

And he answered, 'My name

is Legion. "'

- You know the Bible, I see.

- The opiate of the masses?

You know what happens next

after that verse you cited?
