The Last Exorcism Page #6

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.

Please.

- I don't think the demon has anything to do with it.

I need you to perform another

exorcism for the soul of my daughter.

Louis...

- I need you to do this.

I'm not going to perform another exorcism.

What you need is a doctor.

I know this is gonna be hard to hear but...

Nell's welfare is all we're concerned with.

Are you with us?

Reverend.

If you can't save my daughter's soul...

I will.

What are you talking about?

I'd like you all to leave my property.

If you are not off my property...

in five minutes.

I'll consider you all trespassers.

- Now Louis.

Louis, you need to be reasonable. Louis!

I'll be here. You get her to the doctor.

What did he do?

- I don't know but I'll find out what he'll do to them.

Afraids he's gonna turn them over.

- He's gonna kill them.

Death is the only salvation. You

told him that. - Yeah.

Just take her. Just her and go.

How do we do it?

- Just take her and go.

He stopped praying.

He's got gun to his cot.

- I know.

God what is that?

- Nell.

Nell!

Nell!

Hang on Nell!

Nell!

C'mon honey.

It's us c'mon.

Here we go...

That's a good girl.

That's a good girl. Right leg down.

C'mon

Good girl.

Here you go. That's a good girl.

We're gonna go now.

We're gonna get you into the car.

Ouch! Ouch!

Are you okay?

Nell!

Nell!

Nell, stop!

Nell?

It's okay. Not that bad.

Nell?

Nell?

Here.

What is she doing?

- I don't know.

Lights are on! Louis is in there.

Let's get outta here. Get back to the motel,

we'll call the cops from there. - Right, right.

Do you have the keys?

- Yeah.

Cotton?

Nell?!

Just go. Can we please just go.

Cotton?

- C'mon here. Come on.

Nell?

Cotton...

Nell, you alright?

Honey.

Cotton.

Nell, look at me.

Can you look at me?

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

C'mon, c'mon.

- She okay?

Louis!, It's Louis!

Come here.

- Put the gun down! Quick, quick.

Close the door!

And lock the door!

Get away from the door!

Come here!

Sh*t.

Move away from her!

- No!

Daddy! You!... shoot him!

I was wrong!

- You were right!

For that! I'll do another exorcism!

I'll do with you.

It's enough to make this documentary safe for children.

Now I'm gonna get her killed.

What do we do safe?

- I dont know.

It's a no win situation...

She doesn't know, she's pregnant and then what?

So we're all gonna get shot in our face.

What could a second exorcism possibly accomplish?

Hey, Nell.

To get him out.

I need the demon out.

It's my fault.

You can be strong.

I need you to do this one more time.

Can you do that for me?

.....

I just need to see him one more time.

It's not that I don't think I can. It's just...

I don't how to...

do with it. Just come move on voluntarily.

I... I think you can

- I don't have any control over it,

what happens to me.

I think you could.

And if you want to.

You told me I'd get better last time though.

- I know.

It happens.

- I really wanted I mean I don't...

really wanted anything important the last time.

- Yeah.

I failed you that time. But

this time I won't.

This time I won't. I promise.

I need you to.

I need you to be willing to

bring him up here again.

I think you can do that.

I think...

I think you just... allow yourself...

I think you can do it.

Nell, can you hear me?

- Yeah.

Alright. I'm right here.

Make sure I'm not faling a lot.

Okay, I'm right here. I got you right here.

It's getting hard to see you

- Okay.

Don't worry about it. I'm right here.

I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here honey.

Right here.

What is it?

- Hum?

Let's continue.

What is it?

- Let's continue.

Right here honey. I'm right here.

Right above.

- What?

Jesus... Help... its coming.

Let him come.

Let him come Nell.

He's coming through the skin.

Get... outta... me. Get...

Don't worry. I'm right here,

Right here, Nell.

Oh...

- Oh! My god!

Oh my god...

Nell.

Nell.

He has her!

Nell can you hear me?

Nell.

No anymore I guess...

I think you don't believe in me.

Who are you?

Abalamb.

Where's Nell?

In fire.

She's been in there for some time.

Soon, you will join her.

Don't believe the demon's lies, Louis.

Demon's lies?

If I invoke the name of Jesus Christ our saviour,

you should be compelled to leave this girl.

" I beseech our Lord, I invoke him,"

" And I say. I pull out a whole armour of God."

" So that he may be able to withstand the wilds of the devil."

" For while we are of flesh and blood..."

" against pits and pounds of, against the rule of darkness; "

"....."

- Words... words!

W O R D S !

I'll tell you what!

If you can keep quiet.

For ten seconds.

I'll let the girl go.

Agreed.

One!

Two!

No!

Three!

- Enough of it! Stop it!

Honey... honey stop.

You lose!

Really... really sorry...

- Stop it.

I'll eat something daddy.

Reverend. How about a blowing job?

- No.

What did you say?

What about the blowing job?

Tell me what that is?

You are mad do you?

You know how that's called

cause you are not a demon?

A demon would know what that is.

But maybe not a 16 year old home school girl.

Cause I don't think you're a demon now.

I don't think that you're even an innocent girl.

- Enough.

An innocent girl!

- No!

A little innocent girl!

- No!

Who doesn't even know what's she's talking about!

I think you're a little innocent girl!

That's what I think!

You don't understand!

She...

Okay...

Okay, calm down.

It's alright.

Turn it off.

Everything's okay. It's

alright. Everything's okay.

Turn it off.

Turn it off!

Oh my god...

She is resting?

- She is relieved and she is resting really well.

Praise God.

- Praise God indeed.

Louis, do you know a boy named logan?

No

- He works in a cafe, or a restaurant similar.

He'll be long gone.

As for your daughter,

doesn't have a demon.

Works out for her for a shame.

Nell is pregnant.

And the father is Logan.

No, sir. That's impossible. I'm afraid not.

Louis, you have to admit that, that's not what happened...

- She's Delirious!

Look what she went through.

Look what she went through...

- Listen to her yourself okay.

Talk to her yourself and we're

hear it from her...

And we'll see the truth that she has.

Can we do that?

Everything's gone and mom's was dying...

He came by and asked her if she'd wanted

to go for a ride in his car?

It was a 500 sports car.

It was old but still a sports car.

The she got in and he started driving out to the field.

He came to her and asked her

if she wanted to have sex?

All she said yes.

She asked him. She said " Am I pretty?"

And he said yes.

He said " I think you are so pretty."

And he tuck her and he lay her back

- Stop it.

You were raped. You were RAPED!

- ... he touched her and she said yes.

She liked it.

- That's how she admit it.

Well, she was right about one thing though.

There's a boy that works at that cafe.

Well, I've no idea what's his name is

but for all I know he could be Lou.

Pastor Manley?

I'm... I'm at the Sweetzer farm.
