The Exorcism of Molly Hartley Page #3

"There was nigh unto the

mountain a great herd of swine.

And forthwith, Jesus sent the demons

into the swine.

And the herd ran violently into the sea,

and they drowned in the waters. "

Yeah. Poor little piggies.

But I like that very much.

You do?

Yeah.

And now they sent a pauper

for the prince!

You're referring to the fact

I'm no longer a priest.

Dr. Hawthome

told you that.

The things they tell

in the bowels of hell, Barrow.

Call Johnny Milton. I just wrote another

verse for his doggerel about me.

- Paradise Lost.

- Paradise now.

Paradise right here and now.

Paradise, right here, right now.

Come here.

Come here.

I'll show you what I mean.

[ Laughs 1

You cannot seduce me, demon.

Oh, yeah.

Is Molly in there with you?

- I'd like lo talk to Molly.

- Why, so you can help her?

I would like to talk to Molly.

So you can help her like you tried

to help the others?

What have you done?

My wife! My baby!

You're nothing but a failure, priest!

I wanna see Molly Hartley.

Please help me.

[ Laughing 1

Did you enjoy that, Barrow?

Was it everything you hoped for?

She's stronger than you think.

She's in there,

and I'm gonna help her out.

Ah!

Was Molly

an exceptional student?

That's the thing.

In high school, she was an average student.

Nothing special.

Then on her 18th birthday,

everything changed.

Wharton School of Business,

straight A's.

Graduated a semester early,

magna cum laude.

Hired on at a top financial firm

shortly afterward...

and made partner at 24.

It's almost like she had some sort

of helping hand along the way.

What about in literature?

John Mme",

Paradise Lost?

It's doubtful she'd have

any of that knowledge.

Not from business school,

anyway.

I have to review her high school

academic file further.

So what do you think?

If you don't mind,

I'd like to see somebody.

Consult with.

Confidentially, of course.

Chaplain Davies.

- They let you out?

- Not exactly.

What brings the prodigal son

hereto me'?

I think there's a patient at Clovesdale

that needs an exorcism.

I don't care if she spoke the entire Bible

backwards in Aramaic.

There's no way the church is going to

approve an exorcism in this day and age.

- I know.

- Then what are you doing here?

- Because in my experience, the

girl is possessed. - So help her.

But know what you're doing

might have serious consequences.

I know, but

I'm not a priest anymore.

Don'i have to be in the NBA

to play basketball, right?

Is your reluctance really

to do with what happened last time?

Yeah.

It is.

Wait here.

I have something for you.

I kept these for you,

locked up down there.

God, wash away the iniquities of this building

and cleanse it from its sins,

taking away all place

of refuge for the dark one...

as he's vanquished from your

humble servant, Molly Hartley.

Please,

come to my assistance who you've

created in your likeness...

and who you've redeemed

at a great price...

from the tyranny

of the devil.

Why don't you

untie me now?

Are you gonna wait for the

cock to crow three times,

like that fool

who founded your church?

I'm with no church.

I come armed only with the faith in the Lord

that banished you to the bowels of hell.

Most glorious prince

of the heavenly armies,

defend me in my battle

against principalities and powers,

against the rulers

of this dark world,

against the spirit of wickedness

in the high places.

[ Laughs 1

The supplicant's position.

The perfect place

for a meager servant.

Do you want to kiss my ring?

Or my lips?

- You can have any of this!

- Silence, demon.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

as it is now and ever shall be,

world with no end.

Amen.

Why did you fail me, Barrow?

Please, Barrow, stop this.

This is no way to help your flock.

- You know how this will end.

- You can't fool me again, demon.

You're not her.

You're not her!

Linvoke all God's

virtues- h,B8HTWM!

Against every hostile,

merciless power...

that assails her body

and her soul,

against the false laws

of heresy,

against the deceits

of idolatry,

against the art and the spells that

bind the souls of every man and woman.

Free Molly Hartley

from your evil.

Begone! In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Make place for the Holy

Spirit in the name of the-

Linvoke

all God's virtues...

against every hostile,

merciless power...

that assails her body

and her soul,

against the false laws

of heresy,

against the deceits

of idolatry,

against the art and the laws that bind

the souls of every man and woman.

Free Molly Hartley

from your evil!

[ Blows 1

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be

done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread...

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and

the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

You keep your sh*t away from me!

I cast you out,

unclean spirit,

along with every satanic power

of the enemy,

every specter from hell...

and all of your fell companions...

in the name of

the Lord Jesus Christ.

Begone!

And stay away from

this creature of the Almighty.

Begone from Molly Hartley!

The Holy

Spirit commands you.

The Holy Spirit commands you!

The Holy Spirit commands you!

The Holy Spirit commands you!

God the Father

commands you.

God the Son

commands you.

- - God the

Holy Spirit commands you.

The blood of the martyr

commands you.

The continence of the confessor

commands you.

The devout prayers of every holy

man and woman commands you.

I'm here!

I'm here!

You can do this, John.

You just have to believe.

That's what I'm afraid of.

What if my belief in God is

outweighed by the fear of the devil?

Not your belief in God

or the devil.

You have to believe

in yourself.

And in Molly.

My hour's upon thee,

Barrow.

Today is the day. 666.

Six years, six months

and six days...

since this stinking piece of flesh

became impregnated with my spirit.

You know what this is?

it's time, Barrow.

- Do you know what this is?

- it's time for my birth!

- Answer me! -

"There was nigh unto the mountain...

a great herd of swine.

Forthwith, Jesus sent the demons

into the swine.

And the herd ran violently into the sea

and drowned in the waters. "

That's very good.

Now you must know

I'm going to cast you out of Molly,

by the power of Christ,

and send you into the swine.

A pathetic cradle for a king.

By the name of Jesus Christ,

my God and my Lord,

and strengthened

by the power of my faith,

I confidently undertake to repulse

the attacks and deceits of the devil.

Most cunning serpent,

you will no longer dare to torment this

young woman and sift her like wheat.

God, use your mighty hand...

to strike him from your servant,

Molly Hartley.
