The Last Exorcism Page #4

Synopsis: In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the evangelical Reverend Cotton Marcus was raised by his father to be a preacher. He agrees that the filmmaker Iris Reisen and the cameraman Daniel Moskowitz make a documentary about his life. Cotton tells that when his wife Shanna Marcus had troubles in the delivery of their son Justin, he prioritized the doctor help to God and since then he questions his faith. Further, he tells that exorcisms are frauds but the results are good for the believers because they believe it is true. When Cotton is summoned by the farmer Louis Sweetzer to perform an exorcism in his daughter Nell, Cotton sees the chance to prove to the documentary crew what he has just told. They head to Ivanwood and they have a hostile reception from Louis's son Caleb. Cotton performs the exorcism in Nell, exposing his tricks to the camera, but sooner they learn that the dysfunctional Sweetzer family has serious problems.

" He guides me in the right path."

" For his namesake, even though

I walk in dark valley..."

" I shall fear no evil! Cause you are by my side!"

" With your God and your staff! It gives me courage!"

" You have courage Nell?"

Yes, sir

- " Do you believe in Jesus Christ, Nell?"

Yes, sir.

- " Do you believe he can get this demon out of you?"

Yes, sir.

- " Then let him expel the demon out of you."

And I say demon be gone in the name of Jesus Christ.

I say demon. Cast yourself out!

Leave this girl in the name of Jesus Christ! Our lord!

On the blood that washes over. I say demon. Be gone!

I demand thee to be gone!

No! No.

Don't worry! Don't listen to that Louis!

Pay no attention!

Pay no attention! For he is the father of lies!

All he knows are lies! And all we know is

the father of love!

The prince of peace!

The God above! That will say to your all!

Say to you all! Say to you all!

From the power! From the power!...

And the Glory of Jesus!

Sound is so important.

Got a... player that I'd go ahead and program.

Over 8 hundred different. Demon sounds.

The lord shall save you...

The lord shall provide for you.

Oh no, he's here. He's here!

Do you believe in Christ?

Do you believe that Christ shall heal you?

Do you believe that Christ shall heal you now?

Can Christ heal you?!

Then be heal! Oh...! That's right!

Be healed!

Say I love Jesus!

I love Jesus Christ!

Say it. Say it!

There are two 9 volt batteries...

attached to wires at the end.

And then you go ahead and

run one of the wires down the sleeves.

And then you attach it right in there.

Leave, leave, leave.

Leave, leave.

LEAVE!

In the name of Jesus Christ! I

command you to leave!

In the blood of Christ! Thievan! Get me out!

I can't do it.

You have to!

You have to!

God! take me!

Take me! Oh Lord!

Take me!Let me take the demon! Oh Lord!

Let me take the demon!

Oh god.

The demon is gone.

The demon is gone! The demon

could not withstand the sight of our Lord!

Praise God!

Are you okay?

How she doing?

- She's sleeping like a child.

Yeah?

What's going on...?

- Ar... That's fantastic.

Is all there?

- Well there's no reason to count it.

Take care

- Thank you all.

Thank you.

- What?

No... I'm just saying...

- What!

I can't hear you...

What...

I don't understand.

Reverend!

Well, there's a prophecy for you, Louis.

The Lord, cause he knows your pain.

He says he knows you'd

sad for your wife to be gone.

The Lord says to be joy for she is with Him.

The Lord does not want you to bottle it up inside...

The Lord wants you to stop your anger!

And your sorrow and burden into this bottle of drink from...

- Nice try.

He does not want you to do that!

- That's it.

That is not a life!

- No more!

He wants you to smash that bottle.

- I.. I won't...

And in it's place he wants you accept love.

He wants you to accept the both of them.

That was highly impressive.

Thank you

- Yeah.

That's more than I expected.

Hey Louis!

- Yes sir.

Now just remember!

I took the devil outta your house.

It's your job to keep em out.

Yes, sir. I'll do that.

Now listen. You sure I can't

convince you all to stay with us?

No! no, no thank you for your hospitality!

We'll find a motel up the road.

All right.

- Take care!

Oh, she did?

Why don't you put her on eleven...

We paid up on that. He need a new hearing aid.

We are paid up on that. I'm sure of it.

Who's Cassandra?

Nell used to work as a TV minister.

I'd thought that would be cool.

They're already helping things.

You got what you needed today?

- We got really some awesome stuff, thank you.

Alright.

- You have a good night.

Good night, good night.

- Good night.

Woah... what was she doing

when she was doing here?

Nell, can you hear me?

Nell!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Look, we need to get her to the hospital.

How is she gonna react when I tell

her that in fact she was in my motel room.

They're probably five miles away from the motel and

how she even know where I was staying?

Is there a doctor around?

- Please... Hey! Where're you going with that camera?

Oh! Sorry! He's with us.

- He's with us.

Okay he's gonna have to turn the camera off.

Oh, okay well he's not going to shoot inside.

Whatever. I need him to turn it off

and take it outside.

Al..alright! We'll fine!

We'll fine.

- Turn the camera off!

Do not again! Take the camera outside.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Excuse Sir!

That camera's is turned off?

- Oh, yeah, - Yes... yes.

Looks like we got most of the blood test back

- And?

Everything appears to be normal.

So what we're gonna do is let

her continue to rest right now.

Do you run some sort of psychiatric test?

Yeah, but you'd have to have

parent's permission to do that.

Now if there's nothing else we'll wait

for the rest of the tests to come back.

This is Mr Sweetzer!

I would like to see my daughter.

This is the father. - If you can just wait

just a minute. Let me see if I can just get the doctor.

As she was standing babbling, then

she was lying on the bed and watch her!

I did called you but nobody answered.

Louis, I feel very strongly that she needs

to have some professional to take a look at her.

She's a young woman.

- Mr Sweetzer?

Yeah?

- Mr. Sweetzer if you could sign this...

What is this?

- That's gonna be a release for your daughter.

This is not about a test?

- No sir.

Do you have a form that he can sign in order to

get psychiatric test? Would you have that?

He can ask when he is ready.

- No.

I'll let him talk to the doctor.

- Please!

They do this sorta thing for a young girl.

Mr. Sweetzer?

Nell! How you doing?

You remember being at the motel last night?

Do you remember... at his motel?

I think so...

Do you want the doctor to speak to her?

- No! I don't.

What happened doctor?

That's the question.

Well, I believe... I believe that the meaning is though...

It's as if Nell's house has been vandalized.

The robber's gone but we need somebody

else to put things right again. - No!

Don't stuff her up to the big city doctor thing!

Eight of them could not save my wife!

Eight of them could not prolong her life!

One day!

And psychiatry!

Psychiatry is not of god!

Well the tools that god provides for us!

Sometimes are not the tools that we recognise.

Or tools that we...

- Our weapons of war are not carnal!

They are mighty in God for

the pulling down of strongholds!

Am I right?!

Am I right?!

- Yes... yes. Absolutely.

That's what we're dealing with Reverend.

He's stuck in this idea that

I'm some full of slick city preacher.

He's not gonna listen to anything I have to say.

Let's get somebody local.

It's gonna be down here.

Hi!

- Good afternoon. I'm Reverend Cotton Marcus.

Hi, I'm Becky.

- Baton Rouge. Nice to meet you Becky.

From where?

- Baton Rouge.

Yeah.

- I'm looking for...

Pastor Manley who's in town.

- He's just right back there.

What's up with them?

Oh, We're making a movie.

- Oh...

So, are those cheap musical?
