The Covenant (2017)
- So it is with heavy
hearts, we lay to rest your daughter Elizabeth. But let us rejoice in the knowledge that you have welcomed her into your kingdom of everlasting light. She is in the company of Jesus Christ, who died and now lives. May she rejoice in your kingdom, where all tears are wiped away, united together with her father in heaven. Now, and forever, amen. - Adam? Are you okay? - Turn it off. - Adam I think... - turn it off I said. Sarah? - Yeah? - It's all your fault. - Oh! - Hasn't changed a bit. - Not since mom died in it. - Home sweet home. Well, power's on at least. Let's see about the water. - Eww. - Yeah it's been more than a few years, all sorts of gunk. Can't wait to see the toilets. Sarah can you help me out with this? - What? - I didn't say anything. - This is chino's? - Yeah. - Ah it's terrible. - Yeah. - What are we doing? - What do you mean? - Why are we here? - I thought coming home might help you. - Help me? - Make a fresh start with things. Away from all that happened last year. - Right, and this place is just full of wonderful memories. - Things are gonna get better. - Better? Is that what we're doing here? We're just gonna go back and live in the past and pretend like everything that happened never actually happened. - That's not what I said. - My daughter's dead, my husband's dead. And now I'm back living at home which I something I swore I would never do. - I know it's not gonna be easy. What you've been through. - Yeah. It's just strange. - Strange how? - This sudden interest you're showing in my life. - Sarah you're my sister, I love you. - Come on for 10 years I was a name on your Christmas card list, what did you meet your niece once when she was a baby? Even after she got sick you couldn't be bothered to call and try to be her uncle, get to know her before she... - No. You're right. Growing up you were always there for me, you, always had my back with mom, and when everything went to shit I should've been there for you. But I'm here now. - Yeah. Here you are. Hmm. Fuck, broke my tooth on this rubbery goddamn pizza. - Are you okay? - I'm going to bed. - Come on, give us a signal. Yeah? - Can I come in? - Of course. Hey, how's the tooth? - It hurts. - You want some ibuprofen? - Nah. Look, I know you've been trying. And I really do appreciate it. - I love you sis, and I'm sorry I didn't always show it, but, I do. - I'm sorry too. - You have nothing to be sorry for. - Look at what I found. - Oh my god, look at my hair. - Yeah it was definitely the 90s. - We look like kid 'n play. - I missed you. - I missed you too. - I wanna go to bed. - Okay. - Good night. - Night. - Mommy? - My baby. - Ah fuck. - Richard? - Morning. - What are you doing? - We've got a busted pipe, came down to make my coffee this morning, found myself swimming in the blue lagoon. - This place should be condemned. - It's a water leak, not the end of the world. - Sorry. - I gotta go out, pick up a few things, are you gonna be okay on your own for a while? - Yeah I'm not a child Richard. - I didn't mean it like that. - It's okay. - I just wanna make sure, you know. - Yeah. - Can I get you anything while I'm out. - Coffee. - Okay, I'll make us some breakfast when I get back. - Okay. - Richie? - Excuse me. - Richie Doyle, it's me, Jan Thompson, you went to school with my boys, I was a friend of your mother's. - Oh Mrs. Thompson, hi. - Hi, oh it is so good to see you. - Yeah, same to you. - What brings you back to globe? - Ah, I guess we just missed the place. And I thought Sarah could use a little country living again. - Oh Sarah's back too, oh that's wonderful, I have to stop in on her. Molly Hanning, she's a little uhm... - strange? - You said it, not me, anyway I don't wanna keep you, but it is so nice to see you again. - You too. - Take care. - One half through two, to one quarter to an eighth. - Always the hard part. - What's that? - Finding the right fit. Every part has its perfect counter. But finding that match is what takes time. - Yeah, sure. I uh, I need copies of these two keys. - All right, back in a sec. - I'm sorry, can I help you with something? - Maybe, or maybe I can help you, Richard. - Have we met? - You lost your niece last year Mr. Doyle. - That's right. - She was sick but to go so fast like that, what was it again, got herself drowned, in the bathtub? - I don't know who the hell you are but stay away from me. - Come on Mr. Doyle you know something's not right with her story, Adam knew it, he felt it in his bones. - I'm not gonna tell you again. - Okay, with the bolts and the keys, that's gonna be 12.55. - Who is it? - It's Jan Thompson, from next door, this is my friend Amy. Is this a bad time for you Sarah? - Mrs. Thompson. - Well look at you, you're so beautiful. I always knew you'd grow up to be a heart breaker. - You're so sweet, please come on in. - Apple pie for you. - Thank you, you shouldn't have. - Oh it's a store bought kind but still I just love 'em. This is my friend Amy. - Hi Amy. - Hi nice to meet you. - Would you ladies like to have a seat? - Well thank you. - Sure. - I'm so sorry about all the boxes, I haven't really gotten a handle on the unpacking yet. - Ah, not at all. - I haven't had a chance to go shopping yet, but, uhm, I was just making some herbal tea. - Tea would be lovely, except no sugar or cream for me, doctor says I gotta watch the sweets and the dairy. - Yeah, plain's fine for me too. - I'll be right back. - Ah, who's this lovely young lady? - I'm sorry what? - Look at her Amy, isn't she adorable. - Oh yeah she is. - Is she yours? Well I can tell you for schools, you're gonna wanna avoid Roosevelt, but Chapman has a great little program, I'm on the school board there, so I can... - Lizzy actually passed away last year. - Oh, I'm so sorry. - That's fine. - Thank you. Oh god, get it off of me, my cross, get it off, get it off! Get it off, get it off of me! - God! - Are you hurt what happened? - It was the weirdest thing, I, all of the sudden I felt like my chest was on fire. - Oh my god. - Here, please. - No, no it's fine, I'm fine, no it's fine, I'm fine, thank you I'm leaving. - It's fine. - I am so sorry! Let me out! Richard! - Sarah? - Get me the fuck out of here! - Oh, okay, okay, I got you, I got you, okay. Okay... You feel better? - No I don't feel better. - Okay just calm down. - I don't like it here, there's something wrong with this place. - So what has happened exactly? A broken doorknob, a popped light bulb. It seems to me we're just like par for the course, when living in a broken down old house. Look, you're tired, you're stressed out... - so I'm imagining things? - Okay I didn't say that. It's just, you've been through hell, and with the stress of the move, I just want you to look at this objectively for a second, okay. Shitty old house, with bad plumbing and rusty knobs, or our mother's house is suddenly haunted after 30 years. - No, you weren't there, you didn't see the... Last night, when I was taking a bath I... Maybe I am imagining things. - Let's go somewhere. - Go somewhere? - Yeah, anywhere, I don't know, some place that isn't this fucking house. - Yeah. Just uhm, let me go freshen up really quick. - Hi folks what can I get for you? - Club soda. - Club soda. - A Coors light draft please. - Okay. - God this place brings back a lot of memories. - Not for me, that might be the blackouts. - Are you sure that you're okay being here? - Yeah, yeah it's not a problem. As long as they serve soda. - How long has it been now? - Seven years next month. - Congratulations, that's, that's great. - One day at a time, that's what they tell me. - What? - Here you go, that'll be 4.50 unless you guys wanna open a tab. - Hey, Richard. - Oh, I'm sorry, just uh, just throw us the tab. - Okay. - Hey are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine, that's all. - Lizzy? Lizzy, it's you! I thought I was never gonna see you again. I have missed you so much. - Sarah, what are you doing? You wanna go inside, it's nice and warm. Come on. Just take a seat. - My little girl. - What? - She wants me to play with her. She came back because she needs me. - It was a dream. Did you forget to take your medication tonight. Or well, maybe mixing it with beer was a bad idea? - What, no I saw her. - You saw her? - I know that she's here. - Sarah... - no, Richard it was Elizabeth. - Okay, let's get to bed huh? Hello? - Saw you at the bar tonight, sorry I had to leave so suddenly. - How'd you get this number? - Sister started to backslide, you had a chance to stay out of it, but now it's too late. - What, are you fucking threatening us? - She belongs to us Richard. - All right you listen to me. If I see you within a mile of my sister I will... Hello, hello? Fucker! Wow geez you scared me. - I need to speak with you. - Are you just getting tired of watching me from your window? - It's about your sister. - What about her? - You need to leave this place and never come back. - Really? - As long as you remain in that house with her, you're not safe. - You're friends with that asshole who called me in the middle of the night? - It's hard to explain but there's this presence within her, within that house. - Okay I have no idea what you're playing at, but I've heard all I'm gonna listen to. - You can not drink from the cup of the lord and the cup of demon. You cannot partake of the table of the table and the table of the demon. - Just get help lady, seriously. Sarah? - It was an accident. - Jesus fucking Christ, you're cutting yourself now? Sarah what are you doing to yourself? - It was an accident. - Oh I'm sure it was, I have to take you to an emergency... - get out! - Sarah, oh fuck, Sarah come back here! Ah fuck. Sarah open the door. Sarah, Sarah open the door. That's it I'm calling 911. - Just leave me alone. - You want an ambulance here, cops, because that's what's gonna happen if you don't unlock this door. Hey, you hear me? That's it I'm dialing. - This is ridiculous Richard. - Tell me about it. - Sarah Doyle? - Right here. - Why don't you have a seat upon the bed for me Sarah. Let's see what we're looking at here. - It was an accident. - I'm not so sure about that. - Go to hell Richard. - Go to hell, you're mutilating yourself. - Sir! - And she needs to be committed for her own sake, she's trying to kill herself. - Please, sir you're not helping. Maybe you should wait outside. - Yeah maybe so. - Hon, is that true, are you trying to hurt yourself? - It was an accident. - Well let's see what we got here. And you did this today? - Yeah. - Judging by the scabbing, I'm guessing you had your accident about two weeks ago. You really should've come in and see us when this happened, it's too late for stitches. This is gonna leave one nasty looking scar. - Father burk? - Yes. - Ah you know, it's fine I have rounds to finish anyway, so I'll see you later. - Okay, okay. - Uh, Richard Doyle, St. Martin's basketball. - Oh sure I knew your mother real well, and your sister, what's her name? - Sarah. - Sarah how is she? - Uhm... Not good father, just not good, she's kind of the reason I'm here. Uhm, she's been cutting herself, and she tells me it was an accident, but I have my doubts. - Gee, I'm sorry to hear this. Look I've got to do a mass in the chapel here, in about five minutes, I could see her tonight if you think it'd do her some good. - Uhm, uh, maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that would be great, uhm, we're just, we're over on brook street, my mom's old house. - Sure, I know just where it is, about 6:30? - 6:30, that's great, thank you so much father, thanks so much. - Okay, you bet, okay. - I really appreciate it father, really. You should really try to eat something. - I really wish you didn't invite a priest over. - What am I gonna do? I don't know, maybe simply talking to someone who isn't me could be of help. - I don't need help. For the last time, the cut was an accident. - Okay, I don't wanna argue, but... Last night, crazy dream. That's gotta be him now. Father thanks for coming, please come in. - Thank you Richard. - Ah please have a seat. - Good, good, good, ah thanks. - Can I get you anything, coffee, tea? - Oh, no, no I'm fine, I'm fine. - I'll go get Sarah. - Good, good. - Father's here. - Why are you doing this? - He just wants to help you. - Whatever, fine. - Sarah, I don't know if you remember me or not, I'm father burk. - Hi. - Your brother Richard here thought that maybe you needed somebody to talk to. - I'm not a religious person father. - That's all right, we can talk about anything. In fact I've been told many times that I'm a very good listener, so just relax and take it easy. Would you feel better if we had Richard leave the room? Richard would you mind giving us a little privacy? - Uh, sure, yeah whatever you think is best. - Okay. Now I can't help but notice that bandage on your arm, how did that happen? - I cut myself. - Yeah Richard told me, but he thinks there may be more to it. - I don't really care what he thinks. - Well Richard told me you had trouble sleeping lately, that you don't feel like yourself. - I lost my daughter to leukemia last year, and my husband to suicide. So, to be honest I can't really remember what acting like myself is supposed to look like. - I'm sorry, I didn't know, would you like to talk about that some? - What is there to talk about? - Well that tremendous hurt that you went through. Would you let me pray over you? Now really you don't have to change your beliefs or anything, I just would like to say a prayer over you in the name of Christ. Maybe I'm pushing it too much, I, I do that sometimes. - No I'm, it's okay father, you can say your blessing. - All right let's hold hands. Heavenly father, we ask for your blessings upon your daughter Sarah. We ask you to protect... - Oh my god! - Father, hey father you okay? Hey father you okay? Father! Hey, you okay? - There's nothing more I can do here, I've got to go. - What, hey wait a minute! - I've gotta go. - Hey, father hold on. - You've gotta get outta here. - What? - There's nothing more I can do for her tonight, but I know a man, he's a professor at the u of a, his name is father Francis Campbell, now he's supposed to be an expert at this sort of thing. - What are you talking about, what sort of think? - Possession. - Unbelievable, I turn to this guy for help and he fires back with a bunch of lunacy. We're gonna have to get some real help from an actual mental health professional, not some demented old priest. What the fuck, you cut yourself again? - Richard don't. - Sarah you are fucking crazy. - You don't understand. I need... - what you need to kill yourself? - I need to be with her. She's here. - Oh she's here, Lizzy's here, right okay, Lizzy come out, come out wherever you are. Oh I don't see her Sarah, maybe she's hiding from us, right, Lizzy, hello, well she's not in there, maybe in here, no, oh, I know, right, she's in the cellar right, yeah okay. Where's my fucking flashlight? Fuck it. - Richard don't go down there. Richard! - Whoever's in here come on. It smells like shit. That's great, so along with everything else just falling to shit, we got a ruptured sewage line. Sarah? I don't know how much longer I can do this. I'm going out. - Mommy? - Lizzy? The doctors said you have to go back to the hospital if you're not eating everyday. She's not responding to the marrow transplant, this isn't something you get better from. - Mom it hurts. - Lizzy? - Well forgive me if I'm not willing to give up on our daughter yet. - But I already took one today. - We uh, we need to get you feeling better. So we're gonna take a few more. - I'm so tired mommy. - It kills its own, she's with us now. - Get out Lizzy, what are you? - It's all your fault. - I'm so sorry. - Give yourself to us. It's the only way to stop the pain. - What can I get you? - Shot and a beer. - Be more specific? - Whiskey, anything Irish if you have it, beer, anything dark. - Okay. - Mrs. Baley? Mrs. Baley? - Father? - Oh, you scared me Mrs. Baley. I've gotta do some work in the study, would you bring me a scotch. - One of those days? - You can say that again. - I've never seen you in here before. - I don't wanna be rude, I uh, I don't think I'd be the best company right now. - I don't know, you show more promise than what's usually found here. - How old are you? - Old enough. - Hey buddy, another whiskey, and, give the lady whatever it is she's having. Hello you've reached the cellphone of father frank Campbell, please leave a message, thank you. - Hi father frank, this is father James burk. We met last year at the archbishop's fundraiser shindig. Father what I have to say is, well it's unbelievable, I paid a visit to a former parishioner of mine named Sarah Doyle, and there's no easy way to say this, but I saw something. And it spoke to me, I need you call me as soon as you get this, please it's urgent, I can't stress that enough, and my phone number is 632-592-6789. Please, call me as soon as you get this message. Mrs. Baley. - She's gone home. - Who are you, and what are you doing in my home? - Whew. - You're really putting 'em down. - Yes, I really am. How many is that? Fuck I don't care, hey, uh, another! - In for a penny, in for a pound. - Yes, let it wash away the sins. - So, you wanna get outta here? - Really, I mean, I mean... Yeah. - Think you can follow the road? - Well I guess we'll find out. I just gotta, first. - Quite the looker you got there. - What's that? - Just saying good for you. Having a little backslide? Hanging under the wagon isn't easy. Looks like sister Sarah is starting to come around. Finally ready to admit little Lizzy had some help filling her lungs with water. You should ask her, she'll tell you now. - Are you following me again? - Always Mr. Doyle. Always and forever. That's it Mr. Doyle, good, let it out, let it all out. - I fucking warned you. Who the hell are you, why are you following me? Tell me who you really are, what the fuck you want? - I want you to be a man for once, take that pretty little thing out there back to your place and fuck her brains out. - If I ever see you again, I'll fucking kill you. Call me, or mention or my sister again... - you'll fucking kill me, I got it. - Yeah he's been following me. Fuck! I gotta go. - Oh hey. - Maybe some other time. - Father? I'm sorry but I forgot my dang phone charger, and lord knows if I'm not reachable I... Father? - Whoever believes in me shall never die. - How'd you know where to find me? - Never in lust I've conceived to bringeth forth sin and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Even when I walk through a valley of deep darkness, I shall not be afraid, for you are with me. You are with me! - Sarah? Get off of me! - What's the matter, isn't it everything you always hoped it would be? - What did you do to yourself? - We're gonna have a baby Richard. - I my lord, my god, I pray up to you to hear me, hear me and protect me. - Hey you alive in there? - What? - Are you all right? - Who are you? - It's my house you're parked in front of. - Oh. - You're drunk? - No. - Well look, you're blocking my driveway, you mind moving? - What the hell? - Are you gonna move or am I gonna have to call the cops? Asshole. - Father burk. Father burk, it's rich Doyle. Hello? - He's not there, Richard. - What? - Crazy old fool cut his own tongue out last night. - This was you, you did this. - I'm just a voice. A messenger, and my message to you is to stop fighting this. - Well that's not gonna happen. - Can I help you sir? - I'm not sure if you can, do you have father James burk as one of your patients? - Excuse me sir. - Yeah? - You're looking for father burk. - That's right. - I'm Dr. Cathy Monroe, I'm father burk's attending. Father burk's been incredibly insistent that we find you. - How did you know where I was? - Lucky guess, are you a relative of his? - No, uh, friend I guess. - Okay well, follow me. - Father? - Can you shed any light on why he would do this to himself? What, what does it say. - Find father Campbell. - Who's that? - I gotta go. - Hey, Mr. Doyle! - I cast you out, out in the name of god! Riddley go ahead, Riddley go ahead. Now this concludes what we can submit to you as documented evidence of the existence of demonic phenomena. Now, I know what many of you are thinking, and you're right, there's nothing that you haven't seen or heard here today that couldn't be explained away by a more conventional explanation. Sadly, the only way to truly convince a skeptic of our findings is to have you come along the next time we encounter one of these... And, no, we don't give exorcism tours. - Why not? - Oh, well that's a fair question. And the answer is simple. Once the demonic presence leaves the possessed it doesn't simply vanish or return from where it came from, like any other parasite deprived of its host, it would desperately try to attach itself to something or someone else. - Okay, something else? - Yes, in certain instances the demonic phenomena will attach itself to an inanimate object. - Like a talking doll? - There's nothing funny about demonic phenomena. Now, you can come up with your own theories that you might consider less fantastical to explain away our findings, you can call us frauds if you wish, or you can see things for what they are. If you employ a little thing called faith. - Faith? - Yes, I know, the five letter curse word to every scientific mind, but, yes, faith. And it's frustrating, but in the age of audio and video recording, it still comes down to that, a matter of faith. - Well that's all we have time for this afternoon, but if you will join me in a round of applause for our speakers. - Father Francis? I'm uh, Richard Doyle. Father James burk seemed to think you might be able to help me. - I got a call from him last night. What can I do for you? - It's very hard to say, I, maybe if you could just come with me. - I'm sorry, but I have a six o'clock tomorrow night in Bakersfield, if you wanna make an appointment. - No, no, no, no, no, no listen. This can't wait. - Okay, go on. - I don't know how else to describe it, he was trying to help us and... He cut out his own tongue, he, he's in the hospital, he's gone completely insane. - You've seen a demonic haven't you? It's gonna be all right, come with me. - Okay, we're all set. - It's okay, just relax. - About a year ago, my sister Sarah lost her daughter, Elizabeth, her husband took his own life a few days later. - And how did the child die? - She drowned. - So this was unexpected? - Well sort of, she had leukemia, and the treatments weren't helping. One night she just fell asleep in the bathtub and that was it. I know Adam blamed Sarah. - I see. - So I moved Sarah and I back to our childhood home, I thought maybe the familiar could and help cope with things a bit better, but, she started having these dreams. Nightmares, about Lizzy. Things got a lot worse. She's, she started hearing voices. Lizzy and other voices. And then she started cutting herself. - Cutting herself? - And there were these strange symbols. - What kind of symbols? - I don't know, not like anything I've ever seen before. All over her body. She had these scars, like brands of ruins of some kind. - Can you draw them for me? Just do the best you can. Are you sure about this? - Yeah, I only saw it for a second, but, yeah. - Wow. - That's interesting. - What? - It looks like the second mark of belial. - What's that? - Well it's rare, in all my life I've only seen it twice before. - What does it mean? - Well. - Well. - According to myth, belial is one of the seven princes of hell. A creature of immense power with ability to take on many forms, and most commonly among these would be a recently deceased person, which led ancient sources to mistakenly connect him with necromancy. But what concerns me the most about this is that this is the first time I've seen this symbol outside of a 1,200 year old manuscript. I think we're gonna have to cancel on Bakersfield. - Yeah. - Oh wait, wait there's more. - Yeah, you can tell us on the road. - I saw heaven standing open and the white horse, whose rider is called faithful and true. With justice he judges and makes war. The lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want! He is my savior and my protector. - Does it not see, is it blind from all its watching? - Jesus, protect me, the power and the glory... I shall ever overcome! Darkness shall never ever! - Molly, oh Molly, Molly you freed me! Molly your faith has redeemed and defeated the evil one. Oh praise you and praise god for bringing you to me. - For we are all sinners, and only through him, only through him. - Ssshht, all is well. You have done god's work this day Molly and he is most pleased. But you have seen the evil. And it blinds you. Free yourself. - Follow me. - Richard? We can take it from here if you don't wanna go any further. - No, I... I need to do this. - Okay. - That smell. Sarah? - Here, rub some of this under your nose. - I guess you guys are used to this? - Strong odors are one of the top tells of demonic presence but uh, yeah this is really bad. Usually it emanates from a subterranean area like a basement or a crawlspace underneath the house. - Yeah, yeah, that's where I first smelled it, it was in the cellar. - Let's start with the cellar. - Oh my god, Molly? - Not Sarah? - Our neighbor. - What are you doing? - I'm calling the police. - Put your phone away. - Why? - There is a strong evil in this place, and we won't expose anyone else until we know what we're doing with. - Readings have spiked across the board. Father help me! Faith! - Away! Away! - Leave this place. - Sarah? - Stay right there Richard. Who are you demon? I command you to name yourself. - It asks questions. Stupid questions as it knows my name, it fears me. - I've faced your kind before. - Faced the small. The weak, but not me. - You didn't know she was pregnant? - That's because yesterday she wasn't. - Who's the father? - It's not possible. - What's not possible? - Last night I... I... There was this woman and... And I had sex with her. And I finished and... I saw her, I saw her face. It was Sarah, it was Sarah! What do we do now? Maybe we should pray again. - I've helped a lot of people Richard. But they all had faith. And as hard as it is, now is not the time to be losing yours. - Well I never really had it much in abundance to begin with so that presents somewhat of a problem. - Then find it, and be quick about it too if you wanna help Sarah. - Help her? - Yes. - She's sick. She, she seduced me. She murdered that poor woman. And god knows what else. - Whatever's happening here, you can be sure it's not your sister's doing. She's under the control of a very powerful demon. And you need to remember this. Understand? - Whatever you say. - Dear god. She's coming around. - It will release me! - Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. - Mother who kills her own is now mine. The little one, sick, weak, pathetic. We took her soul and now we take this one. - Elizabeth. - Don't listen to it, telling lies is in its nature. - Yes, but this one knows he does not hear lies. He knows this time we speak the truth. - You killed Elizabeth. - I denounce you. - Does this one think his little tricks will work on us? - Your name is belial. You are a servant of the father of lies. I know you demon, and I rebuke you. Our father, who art in heaven. - What grows inside is far stronger than little man and his pitiful god. - Thy kingdom come... - deny us? Weak mortal! - Hey. - Whatever that thing is. It's right isn't it? - How's that? - You never faced anything like it before. Have you? - No. - So how are you gonna stop it? - Only god is perfect Richard. And every other creature in this world and the next is imperfect. And everything imperfect has a weakness. All we need to do is figure out what that is. - Well, it's about as good as we're gonna do. - Is she still out? - She should be, I pumped with her enough juice to put down a herd of elephants. Can I talk to you alone for a moment? - Yeah. What is it? - I'm outta tranqs. So I don't know what the plan is when she wakes up again. I really feel like this time we bit off more than we can handle, and then her condition only complicates things. - Now which condition would that be? The fact that she's possessed or pregnant. - If what Richard told you is true than this thing inside her is less than a day old. - And that would be a miracle. - A miracle, that we can not allow to happen. - What are you saying? - I'm saying we need to stop it. - By saying stop, you mean kill? - Yes. - If you kill her, you kill an unborn child. - We need to. - I don't wanna hear anymore of this. - Richard. Richard don't let them hurt me. - They're here to help you. - No, they're going to kill me. - No! - Richard, are you okay? - Stay away. - I'm trying to help you. - No you're not. No, you wanna kill her. - Hey, Richard. - Fuck you get out! - Richard I'm trying to help her. - Yeah, but now that you realize you can't, you're gonna kill her, she can read your mind, she talks to me, she's begging me to stop you. - Richard, you know this creature can take on many forms. And if you're hearing Sarah now, you must know it's a demon trying to deceive you, you have to trust me. Come here, I'll show you. Go ahead, ask it a question. Something only Sarah would know. Believe me it won't be able to answer it. - Sarah? - The little man tells the truth, she is gone, gone! - Away with you, servant of lies, child of evil! God's word holds the power! - Does it want to see my power? - God, Sarah. - I cast you out! I believe in the true god, creator of heaven and earth! I cast you out! For he is the one true god! We. I cast you out! I cast you out in the name of the lord! - Oh my god it's happening! - In the name of... - We need to stop this now. - You shall not stop us! - Richard, open the door Richard! - The whole place is coming down around us! - Okay father just to clarify you're not under arrest, so you can stop this interview at any time. And you've been advised that you have the right to an attorney, so if you continue talking to me anything you say can be used against you. Father, are you willing to continue? Okay. You want me to call the archdiocese? - So, let's go through this one more time. - There's nothing father frank or I can tell you, that isn't on that camera. If you can find it. - Buried under 40 tons of rubble, yeah, I'm not gonna get my hopes up. - You need to look at this from my point of view okay. Now as much as I hate putting the screws to a priest, there's a lot here that needs explaining. - I felt them. - You felt who? - They say the good will inevitably conquer evil. This time at least they're wrong. - Please could we try to be a little less cryptic? - Do you believe in god, detective? - Of course. - How about the evil one? Well do you believe in him? - Father what I believe in is what I can see and what I can smell and what I've got right now, is I've got a collapsed house, and a mutilated corpse, and that looks and smells real bad for you and your friend. - Molly Hanning was her name. Search and rescue found her body in the rubble. She was cut up real bad. - What about Richard and Sarah? What about the baby? - No we only found the one, the neighbor lady, the Mrs. Hanning. - And you didn't find a baby? For all our sakes detective, I pray that that was an oversight on your part. - What do you mean? - If it survived... - survived, what are you talking about? - If the child was born, if that monstrosity has entered our world... God help us all. - Just wanted to let you know that the priest and his friend are gone, for now at least you'll be safe from them, I'll see you later Richard. Protect your family and protect the child. Many will come to hurt him, but you and Sarah are strong and that's why you were chosen. |
