The Offering Page #3

Please stay. I don't want

to spoil anyone's fun.

Please stay.

Turn that thing off.

It's another anagram

for Leviathan.

Leviathan is a sea monster

in the Old Testament.

Do you see that?

Huh. She's sort of

fading away in the mirror.

We need to talk to her.

"Subterfuge."

It's the artist you went to see?

He's dead.

Anna, Charlotte and Josh...

The link between all three

of them is May Wong.

Father?

- Father!

- I can't help you.

Is this about the case

in Indonesia ten years ago?

- I need to go.

- Father, it wasn't your fault.

The Vatican cleared you.

That man didn't die

because of the exorcism.

He died from medical

complications.

Resulting from my ignorance.

Father, please, I'm begging you.

There's something unholy about

this attack on the church.

Please.

My faith is not as strong

as you may think.

But isn't that

what makes us human?

It's our struggle for perfection

that lends us grace.

We're all inadequate

in His eyes, Father.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Aunt Jamie?

Aunt Jamie?

You've got to go.

Honey?

May is our chief researcher

in undersea Internet cables.

Most of the world's cables

are routed through Singapore.

It reflects our maritime past

as a naval base.

I understand that you want to

interview May for your story,

but given that she's not around,

can I propose another

researcher?

I'd really prefer

to speak with May,

especially when she is the one

who wrote the software.

Um, can I have her address?

I'll contact her myself.

Oh, I'm afraid

it's not our company policy

to divulge the personal details

of our employees to the media.

I understand,

but I can't write my article

without speaking to her.

- Thank you for your time.

- Hang on, Miss Waters.

The Pacific Monitor... You have a

very wide readership in America.

Our quarterly results

will be announced next month.

Your story on Subterfuge

will be most helpful.

And arise, Leviathan.

Arise.

Ah. You've finally come, master.

- Katie, we've got to go.

- I'm not leaving.

It's the seventh day,

and Mommy's coming back.

Katie. Katie.

Katie?

Get away from that.

- We got to go.

- No, Mommy's coming back.

No! Stop. No!

No, Mommy's coming back. No!

No, let go!

Let go! No!

No. Let me go.

- Let go of me.

- Stay here.

I'm just going to get

some of your things.

- I'm not leaving!

- Katie.

Katie!

Katie?

Katie!

The subscriber

is currently unavailable.

May?

Father, I found the computer.

I'm Father De Silva.

This is Father Matthew.

- Are you May?

- No.

But I'm looking for her.

We traced several cyber attacks

on the Church to this apartment.

Can you help us?

Miss?

Matthew.

Who are you, miss?

You've seen that before.

Father.

Now, the operating system

is very complex.

It'll take me some time

to crack all of it, but...

I've managed to track down

some kind of activity log.

The attacks

on the Church Web sites

originated from this machine.

And whoever did it attacked

five other systems.

I just need to track down which.

Binary is the one tongue.

Leviathan is using the Internet

to rebuild the Tower of Babel.

- You have one message.

- Leviathan is a demon

Nigel Crowther

summoned in the house.

I want to get Katie out,

but she's locked herself

in her room. Call me.

Katie.

Katie?

She's in her room.

I can't... I can't get in.

Katie?

- Katie, it's me.

- Aunt Jamie?

Open the door, sweetie.

- You won't make me leave?

- No. Just... Just open the door.

- Are you okay?

- We've got to get her out.

- No! You lied!

- Listen to me, Katie. I...

It's the seventh day,

and Mommy's coming back.

Mommy's dead, baby.

She's not coming back.

She said so herself

before she died.

- What did you say, Katie?

- What did Mom say?

Please,

tell me the truth, Katie.

- We got to get her out of here.

- No.

- You're coming with me.

- No! No!

I came home from school camp and

Mommy said she was going away,

and she would return

after seven days.

I asked her why, and she said

she had found a way to make

my Huntington's go away,

but she needed to try it out

on herself first.

Then she went into the study,

and...

It's her Huntington's.

It's getting worse.

We've got to get her

out of here.

Got it.

The IP addresses of the five

systems attacked are right here.

Wait. Something's happening.

It's launching another attack.

I'll just get some stuff

in the study and we can go.

All right.

You ready?

- Jamie.

- Yeah, Doc?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

The scans must have

missed something.

According to your blood work,

you have Huntington's.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

May.

Mocking God's creation

of the world in seven days.

Witness his sign.

Witness the severance

of my disease.

Witness my rebirth.

The sick, the lame,

the diseased.

If they saw that,

they will all...

They'll kill themselves.

That was no resurrection.

She came back to life

because Leviathan

was inside her.

The demon is using this video

of a false resurrection

to trick those

who are susceptible

into committing the greatest sin

against God:
suicide.

Leviathan is rebuilding

the Tower of Babel

sin by sin, suicide by suicide.

If I kill myself and return in

seven days without my disease,

I can save Katie.

I'll see you both in seven days.

Sam, stop it!

I must do this.

You don't know what it's like to

be sick, to always be in pain.

If you want to see if the video

works, then I'll do it.

I'm her father.

The system's

migrating to the Internet.

- We'd better go.

- Wait, we need the hard disk.

We've got to get you

to the hospital.

That woman who was here

earlier... she knows something.

Find her.

"When a demon is unmasked

he will return to the place

he was first summoned."

Mommy?

You all right?

Mommy.

- Katie!

- No.

Katie.

Sweetie?

Katie!

Katie!

Katie!

The demon who staged the false

resurrection of that woman

is now inside Katie.

He is devious

and very dangerous.

Don't go anywhere near him,

and don't listen

to a word he says.

If you never believed in God,

now is the time you do.

Katie?

Help her, Father.

All dressed up, Father?

What're you going to do?

Kill this little girl

the same way you killed that man

ten years ago?

Silence, demon.

Repeat after me.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Christ have mercy.

- Christ have mercy.

- Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel,

Saint Raphael,

all holy angels and archangels,

all holy orders

of blessed spirits...

Jamie.

- Anna?

- Don't listen to the demon.

I have found the cure that will

save Katie, you and me.

Stop him before he kills us.

- Daddy?

- Katie?

- I don't want to die.

- He is lying.

No, Sam.

Holy Lord, almighty Father,

everlasting God and Father

- of our Lord Jesus Christ...

- Daddy?

- Daddy?

- Get me that chair!

No, Daddy. Don't.

No, Daddy. No.

No, Daddy.

Daddy, it's me.

No. No. Stop it.

No, Daddy.

Stop it.

Why are you hurting me,

Aunt Jamie?

Daddy.

Please. No.

It's me, Aunt Jamie.
