The Vatican Tapes
I warn you, what you are about to hear
is very disturbing indeed.
Possession is the coming of a demon,
or an evil force that will take over
a person's mental and physical faculties.
There is so much concern
about the devil's influence on this country
that it has started offering
courses on exorcism.
Italian police are hunting for
thieves who stole a relic
which contains the blood
of Pope John Paul II.
Pope Francis has declared
that the devil is here
and this is not a fairy tale.
What the Bible has taught you,
what you believe in, is the truth.
Your strengths and your weaknesses.
The Bible says the Antichrist
will walk the earth and mimic the real Christ.
And the deceived
will worship this false prophet.
And that is the day we most fear.
Dark forces are rising.
The frequency of possession
is increasing all over the world.
Why does the devil choose
one person over another?
There's no explanation.
From the day you are conceived,
the devil seeks your destruction,
temporal, but especially eternal,
and doesn't give up until the day you die.
I am troubled.
The world is changing, Cardinal.
We've never seen this acceleration
of the shadows.
The Holy Father knows what we're facing.
I think it's time for us to take action.
I know.
Here is the case I told you about.
several incidents involving this girl.
I was fine before I saw the doctors.
I'm not staying here.
Okay.
Angela, you were in a car accident.
Do you remember that?
I want to go home. I want to go home.
I want to go home.
Angela.
- I want to go home. I want to go home.
- Angela.
I want to go home. I want to go home.
I want to go home!
Did you see that?
- This place is making me sick.
- What are we looking for?
I'm not staying here.
The Antichrist.
Angela.
- I want to go home. I want to go home.
- Angela.
I want to go...
Get all of the hospital tapes. Get everything.
Okay. Come on, come on.
There we go.
Come on.
- Finally. Jesus.
- Hey.
Hi. Can you see me?
Yeah. I can hearyou, too.
Stop blaspheming.
"Blaspheming"? Nice.
I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm heading to Fort Drum.
I got a commencement, a lunch,
and then back to Benning.
Why are you in a cab?
I'm flying commercial.
I hate flying commercial.
I went through all this trouble
so I could do more than just wish you
a happy birthday over the phone. Again.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
I got you a present.
Yeah? For little old me?
I figured since you already knew
about your "surprise" party,
- I might as well...
- Here we go.
Yeah, go ahead and defend him.
I don't need to.
You see, he can't be defended.
He has a name. "Pete. "
And how can you not like him?
You've never even met him.
He's living with my daughter,
his name's Pete.
It's more than enough reason
not to like him.
Pete is wonderful.
Happy birthday, sweetie. I got to go.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
Don't be late for your flight.
...24,
All right.
Hey, open sesame.
- Here. And pass it to the back.
- All right.
Angela, are you still working on the article?
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Hola.
- Hola. What are you doing?
I'm video-capturing your ass.
- Where are we going?
- We're going outside.
I need to show you something.
You're not going to believe what I found.
What did you find?
You got to come outside.
What is it?
It's out here.
- It's a mess. It's a crazy mess.
- Where?
Well, I mean, it's no problem.
It's in the garage!
Surprise!
- Oh, my God.
- Surprise!
Hey, honey!
Were you surprised?
I had no idea you guys were here.
- Okay, wait till you see this frosting.
- Okay.
Hey, someone grab the cake, yeah?
All right, I had this special ordered
just for you.
Okay.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Oh, my God. Pete, what did you do?
Dad!
- What are you doing here?
- Come here.
I'm here for your birthday.
- Think I'd miss it? Again?
- Oh, my God.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
- You look so beautiful.
- You look handsome.
- Thank you.
- Come on.
I'll find something to cut the cake.
Check it out!
"Oh, Pete. Wow, what did you do?
Oh, my God. "
Really? Is that what I sound like?
- Really?
- Yeah.
It's just a local anesthetic.
I'll write you a prescription.
- Hi, Colonel.
- Hey.
Sh*t.
Did you just cut your finger?
Sweetie, it's pretty deep.
I hate hospitals.
The last time you were a patient
in a hospital, it was 25 years ago.
Are you really that afraid of hospitals?
I'm not going in.
I don't blame you. Nobody likes hospitals.
Not even doctors.
But with a cut like that,
you might want to give it a shot.
Come on. It's going to be fine.
- Who wants cake?
- Daddy!
Daddy always gets the first piece.
- Tradition, right, Dad?
- That's a nice tradition.
So...
Rog, it was a good idea
getting you out here, yeah?
"Rog"?
No, Pete, that's not becoming a thing.
Don't call me that again.
Is that what I think it is, Father?
This? Yeah, it was another life.
1 Oth Mountain Division.
I was a military chaplain.
So, you like the cold?
Chaplains don't ink their bodies.
I was a soldier first.
When did you change uniforms?
When I saw enough.
I'll be around.
Hey, we should all hop on the bike.
If you put Angela on that bike, I'll...
- Dad.
- Sorry.
Pete, you're an idiot.
- Come on, let's go eat.
- Great.
So, where are we going?
Sorry, honey, I got to take this.
Yep.
- Hi. Hi.
- Hi.
What did you do to your face?
Nothing.
My conference call got moved up.
I'm going to stay back.
It might take a couple of hours.
- I'm sorry, honey.
- It's okay.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
Yeah.
Excuse me. I said, excuse me.
Watch where the hell you're going next time.
- Pardon me.
- Could you just scoot over, please?
- What's the problem?
- Did you see her?
She came down the aisle like a bowling ball.
Hey, are you all right?
My throat is so dry.
- No!
- What was that?
I think it was a bird that just hit the window.
You should have seen your face. Pure terror.
Oh, my God!
You all right?
Hey, hey, wait up.
- That bird bit my finger.
- Are you all right?
- I'm fine. It just hurts.
- Hold on, hold on. Let me see.
- Holy sh*t.
- Stop it!
It's not that bad.
I'll go to the doctor tomorrow.
That's so infected.
We should go back to the hospital.
- I'm sure it'll be fine by tomorrow.
- Babe...
Eggs, and then we got this chick...
Great. This is yours, Rog.
What a crazy day.
At least we got
You're so good to me.
Well, get back to me after we eat it.
What are you doing?
Did my dad say something to you?
Why are you yelling?
Am I being loud?
- Have you been drinking?
- No.
Wait, hold on. Look at me.
You're drunk.
Well, I'm pounding water.
Did my dad say something to you?
Your dad only says, like,
one or two words to me.
It's his face that says everything.
