The Unborn Page #4
- Mark.
- Hey, Mark.
And this is Arthur Wyndham.
He is an Episcopal priest
and a very, very dear friend of mine.
So you've done exorcisms?
No, I studied the phenomenon,
I did my dissertation on it back in college.
Just wait a second. I'm not looking
for a Christian exorcism here.
Fair enough.
But there are certain elements
to these kind of rites that are.
...pretty common to virtually all religions, and
it's these elements that I'm familiar with.
You gotta understand,
this thing that's after you...
...if it exists, it predates religion.
It probably predates mankind.
It's not as if there's one kind of demon
that is vulnerable to Jewish prayer...
...or another that's allergic to Christian or
Muslim. It doesn't actually work that way.
So the words in that book,
they can't help me.
No, no, no. On the contrary, I think that it
can, but not in a way that you might think.
Now you, you may not believe...
...but your mother and your grandmother did.
And it's because of their belief
that these words give us the best shot.
I've translated what's in the book...
...so I'll be leading the invocation and Arthur
and a few others will be assisting us.
Yeah. Yeah, but before we get started...
...there's a few formalities
that we have to get out of the way.
Can I see your IDs, please?
I gotta verify that you're of legal age
to consent to this.
- All right.
- You kidding?
- No.
- No?
Not kidding. These are the forms, actually.
I don't know if they're legally binding...
...but we're in murky waters here,
just in case something does go wrong.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Great. So when do we do this?
- Tomorrow night. Sabbath.
- At your synagogue?
- Oh, no, no, no.
Given how unorthodox this all is,
I think we'll find another venue.
Yeah, yeah. Is there somewhere
that is particularly negative to you?
Somewhere that
you may have incurred a lot of pain?
- Hell of a place to get religious, Sendak.
- Cheery, isn't it?
This is Rick Hesse, he's an EMT.
I thought it would be a good idea
to have him here, just in case.
Nice to meet you.
- As for the other volunteers...
...they've all been through some kind of
hardship and they're willing to help.
Now, typically, a Jewish exorcism rite
involves 10 people.
Why 10?
10 is also the number of the Sephiroth,
which are the known attributes of God.
The idea is that these 10
...form a protective circle
around the afflicted person.
Yeah, once we get going, Casey
will stand in the middle of the circle...
Sendak will read
the original text in Hebrew...
...and the rest of you will follow me
in English, call and response format.
Now the heart of the ceremony is Psalm 91.
Yoshev B'seter, the Psalm of Protection.
At the beginning and the end of
the invocation, I'll sound the shofar...
...which is an animal horn
used in religious ceremonies.
In this case, the sound is intended to
shock the spirit hiding within the victim.
Once the spirit is more compliant,
then we can start drawing it out.
That's when the rest of us
are the most vulnerable.
It wants Casey,
but it will take any port in the storm.
And remember, no matter what happens,
once we've begun...
...the exorcism must be finished.
Any questions?
Yeah, why are they bringing in a gurney?
The gurney is for Casey's protection
as well as ours.
Sometimes people thrash out,
just a precaution. That's all.
All right then. Let's get started.
Are you sure
you wanna go through with this?
I just want this to be over.
My name is Arthur Wyndham,
and this is the video record.
...of the attempted
exorcism of Casey Beldon.
We have the permission of the ecclesiastical
authority who are praying for us.
Everyone participating tonight is here
of their own free will, including Casey.
- Agreed?
- Yes.
- Just for the camera.
- Yes, this is what I want.
Now, if... And this is a big if.
But assuming a spirit
actually manifests itself on your person...
...it may take the shape of a kind of bulge
beneath the flesh.
Now try not to be alarmed by this.
Even though we're dealing
with a spiritual phenomenon...
...the entity still needs to be housed
in some degree of physical mass.
So if your body produces a reaction like
that, it means what we're doing is working.
- I understand.
- All right.
Okay, so we're gonna
place this block in your mouth...
- So you don't bite on your tongue.
- Let's just get on with this.
Okay.
The circle is now made whole and sacred.
"In the name of Adonai, God of Israel.
"May Michael be by my right,
Gabriel at my left...
"Uriel before me, Raphael behind me.
"Beneath my feet the ground of God. "
"I say to you of the Lord
who is my refuge and my stronghold...
"my God in whom I trust...
"that he will save you
from the fowler's snare.
"and destructive pestilence. "
"He will cover you with his feathers
and you will find refuge under his wings.
"His truth will be your shield and armour. "
Keep going.
Don't stop reading.
"You will not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day. "
The doorway is open.
Get me out of here! Come on!
- Get me out of here! Get me out!
- Come on!
Let's go, let's go.
No, no, no, wait. The page.
What? Forget it! Let's go!
- We have to finish it.
Come on!
Oh, God. Oh, God. I think he's gone.
No!
No!
Baby, we gotta go. Get up, baby.
Come on. God.
Baby. Baby, you're hurting me.
Mark, stop it.
Mark!
"... Ten thousand at your right...
"but it will not come near you.
"No evil will befall you,
no plague will come near thy dwelling.
"For he will command his angels
in your behalf...
- "to guide you in all your ways
- "To guide you in all your ways.
- "that you will lift the stone.
- "That you will lift the stone.
- You will tread upon the lion and the cobra.
- You will tread upon the lion and the cobra.
- And you will trample the great lion
- And you will trample the great lion.
- And the serpent.
- And the serpent.
- Because he loves me, says the Lord
- Because he loves me, says the Lord.
- And I will be with him in trouble
- And I will be with him in trouble.
- And I will deliver him and honour him
- And I will deliver him and honour him.
- "I satisfy him... "
- "I satisfy him... "
Casey.
Yeah.
- Did you stop him?
- I think so.
Hey.
Am I gonna keep falling forever?
Why now?
Why didn't this start happening before?
A little hormonal maybe,
but you're not crazy.
And it looks like
double congratulations are in order.
You're carrying twins.
Jumby wants to be born now.
