The Exorcist III: Legion Page #2

---

If I step on two straws

in the shape of a cross...

I feel that I have to confess it.

It torments me.

Try to make a good confession.

And remember,

Christ forgives us all of our sins.

Only little things. Nothing.

Seventeen of them, Father.

The first was that waitress

near Candlestick Park.

I cut her throat and watched her bleed.

She bled a great deal.

It's a problem that I'm working on, Father.

All this bleeding.

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

I don't know. I don't know.

He was such a good...

You know, I've been thinking, lieutenant...

This is new.

Do we really need prints

from the inside of the sliding panel?

All you're gonna get

are the prints of the priest.

Yes, I know.

Then what's the point?

I'm padding the job.

Huh.

We got an autopsy on the boy.

Yes.

Kintry didn't die from the decapitation.

He was injected with a drug

called succinylcholine.

They use it in electroshock therapy.

But injecting 10 milligrams...

for each 50 pounds of body weight

causes immediate and total paralysis.

The kid couldn't move or scream while the killer

was nailing and cutting him up.

He was conscious?

Yes. He was fully aware.

The drug attacks the respiratory system.

He died from slow asphyxiation.

Ms. Scott, please report

to west-wing nurses' station.

Father Dyer. Joseph Dyer. D-Y-E-R.

Oh. He's in Room 411. It's down there.

Four-eleven.

Dr. Miller, line 118. Dr. Miller, line 118.

What's this nonsense?

Nothing's really wrong.

They're just doing some tests.

They couldn't find the rabbit?

I don't know you.

You're reading Women's Wear Daily?

So what? Am I supposed to

give spiritual advice in a vacuum?

Is that for me?

Oh, I found it in the street.

I thought it suited you.

I thought you told me

there's nothing's wrong.

There isn't. My brother Eddie

had these same stupid symptoms for years.

Your brother Eddie died at the age of 30.

So what? He got killed in Vietnam.

There could've been some connection.

A connection?

Are you sure this isn't serious, Joe?

Well, with Eddie, there was.

Shut up about Eddie.

With my brother it was nerves.

You make people nervous.

Only sinners.

Everybody!

Is everything all right in here, guys?

We're fine!

I'm just tired.

Well, call the desk and book a room.

I brought you a hamburger, Father.

I'm not hungry.

Eat half. It's from Clyde's.

Where'd the other half come from?

Space. Your native country.

Who stuck this guy?!

Nice and peaceful here, isn't it?

Idyllic.

Those things will kill you, incidentally.

They're quiet.

Mr. Horowitz?

Nope.

This is 409?

Four-eleven.

Never mind.

Go in peace, my child.

May the Schwartz be with you.

Shouldn't you be reading from the Gospels?

They don't give you all the fashions.

Ah, this is true.

Damn right.

Look at this. Gowns. They're getting boring.

Could you get me something serious to read?

I've gotta be going.

Oh. Can't you pick me something up?

My God, the grammar.

I want the National Enquirer and the Star.

There are Jesuit missions in India, Father.

Couldn't you find one to work in?

These are all last week's editions.

I've read every one.

If you will forgive me,

I will leave this mystical conversation.

Too much of esthetics

always gives me a headache.

Is it something I said?

Mother India is calling you, Father.

Dr. Kincaid to Orthopedics, please.

EKG stat to ER. EKG stat to ER.

Father Kanavan's vocal

cords were paralyzed.

He couldn't make a sound.

He couldn't cry out for help.

So the killer was able to take his time.

Succinylcholine again?

In precisely the proper dosage

to cause the paralysis.

A fraction too little, there's no effect.

A fraction too much causes instant death.

Our friend has medical expertise. Did

we find a hypodermic at the crime scene?

No syringe.

What about the fingerprint analysis?

Most of the prints were the priest's.

You said most?

We've got something else.

Right here, on the inside pull

of this panel. It's strange.

Nobody touches this pull but the priest.

And the killer.

See, he wants the panel closed...

so that the next person in line for confession

doesn't know that Father Kanavan is dead.

So he puts his hand in

and slides it almost shut.

Then he has to pull his hand back out

and finish the job from the outside.

So the prints on the oars from the crucified

boy match the prints on the panel, correct?

They're one and the same.

Well, aren't they?

Two different people

committed these murders?

Where's Julie?

At dance class.

So late?

Bill, it's only 10:00.

It's very late.

Your attention, please. Your attention.

The 12:
18 to Elsewhere

now departing from Track 11.

All passengers boarding

proceed to the gate.

Let me out of this damn casa blanca!

Yes, it is.

No, it isn't. It's out of bounds.

The line is in bounds.

No, it's not. It's out.

It hit the dirt!

Earth, come in, please. Can you hear us?

We are attempting to communicate.

Come in, please.

The living are deaf.

We come here first.

Lieutenant.

How you doing, lieutenant?

I'm so sorry you were murdered, Thomas.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

You know,

I wonder if both of us are dreaming this.

No, Bill. I'm not dreaming.

Kinderman.

What are you telling me?

Hold it.

I've just never seen anything

like this in 20 years.

Dr. Bartlet, please call the operator.

Dr. Bartlet, please call the operator.

EKG stat to ER. EKG stat to ER.

Dr. Bartlet, please call the operator.

Dr. Bartlet, please call the operator.

Ah...

What are these?

What are they? What's in them?

Father Dyer's entire blood supply.

What?

All of his blood?

And not a drop of it spilled.

All neat.

There's not even a smudge on the jars.

There's only the writing in his blood.

Writing?

On the wall.

Dr. Hoffman, line 412, please.

Lieutenant.

Dr. Hoffman, line 412, please.

Take a squad of men.

Make sure all the hospital doors

are locked. Make a pattern search.

No one in, no one out.

Except for emergencies.

No one.

All right.

EKG stat to ER. EKG stat to ER.

Now...

what time was the, uh, body discovered?

At 6.

By whom?

You saw him at 5 a.m.?

Yes, that's right.

He was awake?

He was awake. I came to give him

medication. How long did it take you?

About a minute.

And then what?

I came back to the desk.

And you were here until you went in

to see Father Dyer again at 6:00?

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

Were you here or inside in the office?

I was inside the office. I was writing reports.

If someone entered Father Dyer's room between the time

you left and the time you returned...

you might well not have seen them.

That's right.

Did you see anybody else going

into the room?

No, I didn't.

Or leaving the room?

No, I didn't.

Did you see anybody in the hallway?

Did you see anybody in the hallway?

Mrs. Clelia.

You saw Mrs. Clelia walking around?

No, not exactly.

Not exactly?

I found her lying completely unconscious.

When was that?

On my way to give the Father

his last medication.

The 5 or the 6?

The 6.
