"It's simply a question ofjuxtaposing the ideas." "The ideas are good." "But if, for instance, you were to move these ideas to the..." "Finish up now, Elizabeth." "Yes, Father." "Anyway, just change it with these ideas up here." "Excuse me for a second." "What is this?" "For Bible study." "St Mark, chapter five." "Chapter five, verse nine." "I like your Latin transcription." "Jesus found a man who was possessed by evil spirits." "'And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?"" "'And he answered saying," ""My name is Legion;" "for we are many."'" "What are those symbols there?" "That's Aramaic." "Aramaic?" "Outstanding." "Why are you-- why are you attracted to these parts of the gospel?" "It's the dark that makes the light seem brighter, Father." "Amen to that." "You're the one who taught me that." "Finish up now, Elizabeth." "Father." " Father!" " Elizabeth." "Elizabeth!" "Elizabeth!" "Get the caretaker." "Open this door!" "Elizabeth!" "Elizabeth!" "Our Father who an in heaven, hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." "Elizabeth!" "Lead us not into temptation... but deliver us from evil." "As God is my witness, you shall not enter me." "I believe in God... heavenly Father..." "Creator of heaven and earth... and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:" "He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried." "He descended into hell." "On the third day He rose again." "He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father;" "and thence He shall come again to judge the living and the dead..." "the dead... the dead..." "believe in God, the Father Almighty" "Creator of heaven and earth, and Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.'" "Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried." "He descended into hell." "On the third day He arose again." "He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father" "From thence He shall come again to judge the living and the dead." "I believe in the Holy Spirit and in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting." "I believe in the Holy Spirit and the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting." "Amen." "We're here." "Finally." "Dad, come on." "Alex, we've been through this." "It'll be the best thing for you." "You mean it'll be the best thing for you." "For both of us." "Be good for both of us to get a bit of a break from all of it." "But I didn't do it." "Of course you didn't, sweetheart." "You're treating me like a convict." "Like you said, kiddo, you have nothing to be sorry for." "Dad" "Alex, get your ass out of this car and into that school or so help me God..." "So help you God what?" "Oh, I can't do this anymore." "I can't." "Dad." "Please, don't send me in there." "The school is going to help you with your problem, honey." "Alex." "Open the door." "Please." "Dad." "Alex, undo the belt and get out of the car." "Dad, just listen to me." "Why won't you listen to me?" "We all have a debt to pay, Alex." "Well, I guess that's that." "Sorry, miss." "Sorry about that." "We haven't had any students here in such a long time." "I thought all of you were already inside." "Wait." "We get locked in?" "School rules of St Mark's." "Doesn't that seem kind of dangerous?" "I guess they think that you're the danger here, miss." "Enjoy your stay, miss." "Miss Garrison!" "Jeez." "Yes?" "You're late." "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death." "Amen." "'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" "'Far from my deliverance and the words of my groaning." "'O my God, I cry by day, and you do not answer, 'and by night when I have no rest." " But you are...'" " Father Drake?" "Well, class." "It appears our last student has finally made it." "You may stand down." "Five Hail Mary's." "Hail Nlary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." " Blessed an thou..." " Miss Garrison." "Yes." "This is St Mark's Alternative School for Girls, not the Holiday Inn." "My dad, um... he took the wrong exit." "They have been standing for two and a half hours in this place." "Waiting." "For you to show up." "Holy Nlary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." "Amen." "Again." "Hail Nlary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "Blessed an thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Nlary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." "Amen." "Hail Nlary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "Blessed an thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." "Amen." "You have been brought here... because you are criminals, hooligans, delinquents." "Yes, what is it?" "Well, I was just wondering where the phones are." "I have to call my parents and tell them that I arrived safely." "What is your name?" " Leah." " Leah." "Your parents don't want you." "They do not care about you." "That's why they've driven halfway across the country and left you here." "What Headmistress Pearce is saying is... there are rules here at St Mark's." "There will be no in and out privileges and no communication with the outside world, including the Internet." "Also... the third floor is closed and unsafe." "You will not go up there." "Otherwise, you will learn here, pray here, eat here, sleep here, and ultimately heal here." "The signs of sin are all over you." "I just bruise easily." "Each of you will be given a blood test and a weekly urine test." "OW!" "Pain is a virtue, Connie." "It makes us realize that there are other people in the world that suffer." "Contraband, however, will not be tolerated." "Miss Pearce, I'm not really sure we should do this." "School rules here at St Mark's." "L.m" "I'm a bit of a bleeder." "Then this should work out perfectly." "Shit!" "Watch your mouth, young lady." "Maybe we should do this anothertime, Miss Pearce." "The time is now." "The place is here." "And your daddy isn't here to bail you out." "You will behave." "Is that understood?" "Yeah." "Yes, headmistress." "Yes, headmistress." "Well, it looks like we're going to have to do this all over again for a second time." "Won't we, Father Drake?" "Yes, headmistress." "Those are prescription." "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves." "And he that hath no sin can throw a rock at your head." "Gimme back my pills." "Father Drake, have you ever seen such disrespect?" "I have seen a thing or two, Miss Pearce." "We will command these girls to a higher calling here at St Mark's." "Of that I am certain." "Get 'em to work." "Get into your uniforms, please." "Thanks for being on time." "Thanks for bringing a drug store with you." "Who the hell brought a vibrator?" "You're complaining about a vibrator when she's a witch?" "Yeehaw!" "We've got witches with our bitches." "Well, what's your story, Goth Brains?" "I'm an anarchist." "Huge difference." " Hey, you." " It's Leah." "Whatever." "If you don't get your ass down here scrubbing" "Guys, let's cool it, okay?" "And I don't remember electing you class president." "Well, someone's gotta stand up to the class bitch." "Don't ever touch me without asking first." "Okay, guys!" "Wet here!" "Hello?" "Father Drake." "Hello, Anna." "Headmistress Pearce." "Um, sorry." "Headmistress Pearce, please, come in." "I'd rather not." "Outside." "Exactly what were you doing in there?" "Oh, I was just getting the chapel ready for the new arrivals." "No." "This morning in the classroom with the girls." "How do you mean?" "Every single one of them is here for a reason." "We must give them purpose." "They are indulgent." "We must be stern." "Yes, I was noticing your methods to be rather... direct." "You would know all about that." "I was also a student here once before, wasn't I, Father Drake?" "You know, I'm not really sure that this is what I signed up for." "You signed up for a chance to make good on a new watch." "I could take you back to the bar I found you in." "Well, that won't be necessary." "I appreciate the opportunity you're giving me." "It's just... these girls... they're good girls." "They just need a little bit of guidance." "And I will determine what guidance will be given." "Do we have a problem with that?" "We don't." "Stick with the dead languages, Father." "Leave the girls to me." "'Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed.'" "God, I hate the Latin." "Desine Sperare qui hic intras." " What's wrong?" " Did you hear that?" " Did I hear what?" " The voice." "Ladies...are you working on your Latin?" "Yes." "Okay." "Desine Sperare qui hic intras." " What the hell?" " Miss Garrison." "Alex." "You know what you're doing?" "You're disrupting my class." "These are for you." "I want you to transcribe these pages before the end of the period." "Got it?" "Yes, Father Drake." "Desine Sperare qui hic intras." "Who's there?" "Hey, Father Drake, could you tell me more about the verbs for 'fear' in Latin?" "Like, uh, 'I fear', 'I worry'." " I don't have the time right now." " Please, Father." "Well... the placing of ideas in separate clauses would have 'I fear', vereog alone, and then in a separate sentence, the thing that is to be feared or desired." "Ad hoc fiat." "'Oh, that this might happen.'" "Now..." "Paratactical|y...paratactica||y..." "Alex." "Alex." "Syntactical|y...syntactica||y... it becomes the worry that it won't." "Got it?" "Got it all." "Uh, thanks, Father." "See ya." "Alex, did you get it done?" "Actually, Father..." "Actually, she did." "She?" "|__ I mean, I finished." "Sorry." "I have problems with nouns and... possessive nouns and stuff." "You're dismissed." "Guys, guys... thanks for covering for me." " Anyone got a smoke?" " Mara!" "Just joking." "I brought my own." "How the hell did you get those past a strip search?" "Who do you think you're bunking with here, princess?" "Anyone want their stuff back?" "How'd you get those back?" "Someone takes things from you, you take it back." "Take your black magic back." "Just don't use it on me." "And here are your tarot cards." "How do you" " See the cards if I'm blind?" " Yeah." "Second sight, baby." "Second sight." "Sorry." "Don't be." "Sometimes, I'm, uh... kinda glad I can't see anything." "Why's that?" "I don't have to judge a book by its cover." "You know, sometimes you could tell a lot about a book by its cover." "Not when you can't see it." "When you're blind, packaging is less important." "Hey." "Hey, you got some more?" "And what do you got in return, beautiful?" "I'm not as skilled as you at hiding things up my ass." "That's too bad." "That's a beautiful amulet, Connie." "Thanks." "Do you know what it's for?" "I don't know." "To look nice?" "Um, it's a Wiccan protection crystal." "Do you know a lot about witchcraft?" "Well, not as much as you." "Pinpricks on your fingers for blood rituals." "Personal meditation." "And..." "Your books are about witchcraft." "You're Wicca." "It's not something I want to advertise." "Blah, blah, blah." "Yeah, we all know about crystals and divination." "Christ, I got my handbook of black magic off of eBay." "I thought we could all know where we're coming from." "Yeah, and what about you, Freak Girl?" "You like doing your graffiti in Latin?" "'Desine Sperare qui hic intras.'" "What kind of shit are you trying to pull here?" "It's a voice I heard." "I think it's some son of sign or warning." "What does it mean?" "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." "What do you think that means?" "Connie, did you go to school?" "It's Dante." "Would you stop trying to freak these girls out?" "I'm freaking myself out." "The telekinesis with the blood and the water was a nice trick, Alex." "What about you, Leah?" "Walk through any walls lately?" "It was a filing cabinet." "Hey, cool!" "You can walk through walls?" "I'm sorry, what are we all still doing here?" "Just objects." "I can't leave a room." "Okay, I'm with freaks." "Maybe they chose us because we all have gifts." "We are here because the world doesn't want us." "Is that right, Mara?" "And what would your gift be?" "A bad attitude?" " Fuck you, Alex!" " You only wish." "Why don't you take that incredibly large chip off your shoulder and shove that up your ass." "Why don't you take your stupid little..." "Well, knife in wall." "Time for bed." "Sorry, Miss Pearce." "You scared me, Father Drake." "I didn't mean to." "I was just on my way to the rectory to retire." "The school secure?" "I have made the rounds." "We are all locked up." " Is there something else?" " Yeah." "I wanted you to see this." " What is it?" " A|ex's Latin class work." "I find it a little odd that in 20 minutes a 17-year-old girl could transcribe 30 pages of written text into Aramaic." "Aramaic?" "It's a little advanced for high school Latin, considering it's a language that hasn't been spoken since the time of Christ." "What does it say?" "I haven't gotten that far yet." "I should think this is a prank." " A prank?" " Yes." "A Latin prank." "The Devil is a trickster, a liar, and a thief, but... he ain't a Latin major." "You just described every girl in this school, Father." "The Devil is real, Miss Pearce." "And he has been here before." "I think we both know who I'm talking about..." "Then why not say the name?" "When Moses asked God," "'When I come to the children of Israel and I tell them 'that the God of their fathers has sent me to you and they ask me, "What is his name?" what shall I say to them?" "'" "And God said to Moses, 'I Am Who I Am.'" "And He said, 'Thus you shall tell the children of Israel," ""I Am has sent me to you."'" "Even God doesn't want us to know His name, lest we wanna go ahead and start using it." "Thanks for the Bible study, Father." "You know, it was... always very good for the girls here at St Mark's." "So what exactly can you see?" "Past, present, future." "Anything in between." "Choose three cards." "I don't really think I've ever felt comfortable with these things." "Sometimes when you open a doorjust a little, it gets opened a lot." "You're feeling closed in." "That's pretty good." "Can I get my money back?" "No, wait, wait." "No, I mean you're right here at the bottom of the stairs." "Yes, I am, but now I'm going to sleep." "No, Alex, I mean, you're right here at the bottom of the stairs, but..." "I don't--there's another girl with you." "Keep your dinner, Screamy McQueen." "Don't sneak up on me like that." "Truce, all right?" "You got another 'L'?" "Your pills don't get you high enough?" "They're for pain." "Yeah, I bet they are." "Okay, so..." "Back to the cards." "Getting some more vibe-age here." "So, I'm seeing you here at the bottom of the stairs." "She's really good." "Hey, we are at the bottom of the stairs." "I know, but Alex is here and... there's another girl here with her." "There is another girl." "She's walking around in the halls, and she's not one of us." "Come on, she's obviously screwing with us." " I'm not." " What was she doing?" "I don't know." "She--she took me upstairs." "Ooh, the third floor?" "No, but that's not who I'm seeing here with you." "She's different." "Okay, guys." "I'm going to bed." "Pappy Drake will be getting us up at the crack o' dawn." "There is a girl, I swear." "Cecilia, she took me upstairs." "Stop scaring the rest of the girls." "There's no one wandering these halls, and there's nothing happening on the third floor." "Goddess protect me, blessed be." "Goddess protect me, blessed be." "Goddess protect me, blessed be." "Goddess protect me, blessed be." "Anna." "Help me, Anna, please!" " Do something." " I' m trying." "Please." "I'm trying to sleep here." "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned." "Well... today is a new day." "It's been along, long time since my last confession." "Yeah, it's been a while since mine too." "But we can't be forgiven until we come clean." "Okay." "I'm seeing things." "Well, that's not really a sin, is it?" "I'm...seeing things that are not there." "Such as?" "A ghost." "A girl ghost." "That's not possible." "It is." " It's not possible." " Why isn't it possible?" " Because she's gone." " Who?" "Who's gone?" "Father Drake, do you know who I'm talking about?" "Dirty blonde hair, pale white skin." " Why do you lie, Alex?" " I'm not lying, Father." "There is a spirit here who's trying to get out." "I'm hearing voices in this place." "There is a girl walking in the school." "A ghost did my Latin homework." "It's not possible!" "Father Drake, ghosts, spirits, the forces of the dark are here." "They exist, they're around us, and someone's let them in." "God made the dark so that we can see the light." "What did you say?" "It's you." "You taught me that." "Father Drake?" "You will not speak of this again, do you understand?" "You do not want to continue walking down the path you're on." "But Father..." "An hour of prayer and reflection and 60 Glory Be's for every minute of my time you've wasted." "Mara, I for one believe the girl." "Alex is full of shit." "There's no such things as ghosts or things that go bump in the night." "I sleep fine." "You mean to tell me you don't believe in the Devil?" "Oh, I believe in the Devil." "His name is Man, and he pisses me off." "There's something else at work here." "I just feel it." " Cecilia." " Yeah?" "Tray of pee at two o'c|ock." "Oh." "We should go to the third floor." "Any place that's out of bounds you're morally obliged to, you know, break into." "I think that kind of thinking got me here in the first place." " What are you...chicken?" " What are you, 6?" " What's that?" " My chicken sound." "Hey, Suicide, you gonna come?" "Mara..." "No, no." "Go ahead." "I'm okay." "So what do we got?" "We've got one big padlock." "Mara, are you a hooligan?" "A troublemaker?" "Holy shit, did you see that?" "Yeah, 'cause this whole blind thing is just to pick up guys." "I guess you can't freak out at what you don't see." "Mara, there's nothing to fear except fear itself." "There's lots to fear." "Hide!" "...blessed an thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." "Amen." "Where is everyone?" "It's private reflection time." "And...what are you doing?" "Father Drake suggested I pray." "A lot." "Hey, you okay, Con?" "There's something not right here, Alex." "You know when you walk into an old house for the first time and think you're being watched?" "Your hairs stand on edge?" "That chill up your back?" "That's my life." "You're like a conduit." "Connie the conduit." "But you know what that means?" "Oh, my God, Connie, who did this to you?" " Father Drake?" " No, no one did." "They just... they just appeared." "What?" "Last night." "I felt something enter me... some son of spirit, and... it was unclean." "Okay, we have to go tell the headmistress." "No, Alex, they're not gonna believe you!" "That's what I was trying to do in confession." "They just-- just won't believe." "I believe." "I keep seeing things." "It's okay!" "We're gonna figure this out, okay?" "It's gonna be okay." "Promise." "So no one knows what I'm talking about." "The third floor is forbidden." "When I went up there, I found the gate unlocked." "Who did it?" "Stand up." "up!" "up!" "Dark hair." "Your height." "What were you doing upstairs?" "I wasn't." "What were you doing up there?" "I wasn't up there." "And what are you hiding... up there, anyway?" "We don't hide anything here at St Nlark's, Mara." "This is a sisterhood." "We only embrace truth, for you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." "Right, thanks for the sound bite." "You're exactly the reason I lost faith in faith." "Were you upstairs?" "No!" "Jeez, what's wrong with you?" "The world wants you to have a spiritual adjustment." "And hitting me is one step closer to a spiritual lawsuit!" "Were you upstairs?" "I was." "You have given me no choice." "We all have choices, Miss Pearce." "Miss Garrison... disrespect the rules... and you shall pay... by the rod." " Miss Pearce." " Sit down!" "Your report told us all about you." "Miss Garrison, your father was all too willing to dispose of you into my care." "Your devilry will not be tolerated in my school." "You will take the punishment accordingly." "Hail Mary... full of grace..." "I didn't tell you to seek penance." "...blessed an thou amongst women..." "Be quiet." "...and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Both of you, be quiet." "Holy Mary, mother of God..." "Quiet!" "...pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." " That is enough!" " Amen." "Stop it!" "Goddamn headmistress." "Sorry, I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Just hurts." "Besides, it was a lesson that I needed to learn." "And what is that?" "'Don't run your ass into a ruler repeatedly'?" "She just tried to teach us about trust and respect, and I broke her trust and lost her respect." "Did you get hit on the head with the ruler?" "Mara, I think we're losing her." "She's gonna be okay." "You got a blood clot up that ass of yours I can use?" "You wanna know what I can do?" "My gift?" "You're not coming on to me, 'cause I'm really not in the mood." "Relax." "If I was gonnajump you, I'd kiss you first." "What's happening?" "Mara's touching my ass." "I figured this out the first time I rode my bike and skinned my knee." "Next thing you know, my parents take away my bike, ship me around the world, whoring me out as a faith healer to the neediest people you'd ever meet... and they would pay." "So Mara's a faith healer that has no faith." "Hey, you think you can do something about these peepers?" "Sorry, Cece." "Fresh wounds only, dude." "All right." "Leah has got a cold sore she should probably have looked at." "Thanks." "You take one for me, I take one for you." "I'm just happy someone believes me." "You got me believing." "Now, let's go find out what's on that third floor of yours." "Hey, hey, guys?" "Those things'|| kill you." "Hello, Virgil." "You don't need to sneak around out here." "You're the headmistress now." "You're all grown up." "You can smoke anywhere you want." "You can choose any way to die." " Well, thank you." " Did you have a good day today?" "No." "There was some concern today that my methods were too harsh." "We didn't reopen this girls' school so that you could be pleasant to them, did we, Anna?" "No." "No, we didn't." "You take care tonight." "Tonight and every other night until this semester is over." "This'|| just take a second." "What exactly are we doing?" "Searching for the centre." "The centre of what?" "The spirit usually projects from a sanctified area." "We're in a Catholic school." "This whole place is sanctified." "Yeah, but the third floor has all the, you know, spooky." "What exactly did you used to steal, anyway?" "Girl's efficient, gotta give her that." "I still can't do doors." "It's okay." "I still like the old-fashioned way of breaking in." "Five locks, five girls-- that's a sign right there." "There's some bad intention going on in here." "Hey, so, what've we got?" "Classroom, small." "Open space in the middle, pentagram in the centre." "What kind?" "Ordinary run-of-the-mill or second-coming-apocalypse?" "It's pretty." "Who the hell's been up here?" "Who, Miss Pearce?" "Are you kidding me?" "A pentagram?" "There's no way." "You think you know someone." "To my hand be they bid." "As my will, so be it." "To my hand be they bid." "As my will, so be it." "And those are our urine samples, and the rag used to wipe up" "Our blood." "Why is it on the ground?" "To focus on it." "What do you mean?" "Urine can be used as a specific scent, to let the spirits zone in on people." "That's...that's great." "That's just great." "And Wiccans, or anyone for that matter, will use the blood or an animal sacrifice to focus their will where a pentacle is placed." "This one's extremely powerful." "why?" "Well, don't want to take a formal poll or anything, but how many of us have actually had sex?" " With a man?" " You've gotta be kidding me." "Virgin blood." "Wait, you're a virgin?" "Fuck you, Leah." "Why don't you go and eat something and become a human?" "Screw you, Mara!" "I will put you down so fast..." "I'd like to see you try it." "By thought, will, passion wise, bind five girls to my desires." "Leah, you can't go." "We need you." "Help!" "Here we go!" "I can't stop!" "...thought, will, passion wise, bind five girls to my desires." "Don't complete the circle!" "Complete the circle." "Sorry!" "Sorry." "This isn't good." "By the gods of the dark eternal," "I set a-barking with ye infernal." "Herein are there circled five to free one in darkness still alive." "Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God." "Oh, my God, oh, my God..." "God's not listening to you, Leah." "Stop freaking out." "Would you stop telling me what to do?" "I'll keep telling you what to do as long as you keep pissing me off." "We are standing in the middle of a pentagram." "Can we please chill the fuck out?" "Focus." "Breathe." "Let the pentagram speak to you..." "By Adonai Yod-He." "By the legions of darkness, do as I say, release the binds on the one lost, take five girls as the cost by Adonai Yod-He." "By the legions of darkness, do as I say, release the binds of one lost, take five girls as the cost." "What's going on?" "Yes." "Connie!" " We've gotta get out of here." " I can't move!" "Connie!" "Connie." "Oh, my God." "Is she okay?" "What's happening?" "Oh, my God." "What's wrong with Connie?" "Mara, help her." "Please, just do something." "It's okay, Connie, it's okay." "Mara... heal her." "Thank you, God!" "This wasn't God's work." "Hail Nlary, full of grace." "The Lord is with thee." "Blessed an thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death." "Amen." "My mom and dad are gonna sue this school so bad." "Leah!" "Leah!" "Connie." "What are you doing?" "'And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?"" "'And he answered and said," ""My name is Legion;" "for we are many" "You're the one who taught me that." "It's the dark that makes the light seem brighten Father" "She's eating a lot." "Hungry there, Leah?" "Famished." "That's a nice look for you." "Okay, so Leah's possessed." "Definitely not looking good." "Here it is." "Legion, a demon Jesus encountered." "It's otherwise ambiguous, but at the time, a Roman legion was about 2,000 men." "So there's about 2,000 unclean spirits in Leah right now." "You sound convened." "I've been made aware of recent events." "So, what did the Big Guy do?" "It" " He cast the demon into about 2,000 pigs, and they fell off a cliff and drowned." "Excellent." "Cool." "Wait-- forgot my 2,000 pigs at home in my country club this morning." "I think we might be able to interpret this as allegory." "So according to school records," "Elizabeth was a student here and just disappeared." "What, like kidnapped?" "No, she was in a classroom one moment, and then she was gone." "Elizabeth Dobbs just vanished, gone." "Her father filed reports, and eventually it led to the closure of St Mark's as a school." "It didn't open again until this semester." "Okay, so a staunch Catholic-- I mean, Elizabeth could have made" "Miss Pearce look like a two-dollar whore at Mardi Gras." "A deeply religious girl gets demonically possessed, but for some reason-- what, the possession doesn't take?" "Probably 'cause she's so religious." "Membership has its perks." "So what does Legion do?" "What does he want?" "What all demons want." " Property." " Yeah, but he has Elizabeth in hell." "But he can't possess her soul because she's so pure and good." "So who do you bring on by to take her place?" "The five of us." "The unwanted." "Why now?" "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to step into that pentagram thingy last night." "Ya think?" "I was trying not to be prejudiced against this school's pentagram." " I always say, stick to one pentagram." " Let's get out of Dodge." "Almighty Jesus." "Forgive us our sins... protect us from the fires of hell." "Lead our souls into heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy." "Bless me, Father... for I have sinned." "Leah." "How did you get in here?" "I have a confession to make." "This is not the right time." "You do that up right now, young lady." "You do that back up right now." "But Father, has it not been along... long... time?" "Stop right now, girl." "The girl you know is no longer." "Oh, Father, all work and no play?" "Those words are no concern of yours." "These words are because of me." "I shall bring a new gospel into this world of yours." "Whose gospel would that be?" "Nline, of course." "And what is thy name, spirit?" "What is thy name?" "My name is Legion, for we are many." "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle and be our protection against the wickedness and the snares of the devil." "Wait." "You feel responsible for her disappearance." "|" "V|ay God rebuke you, we humbly pray." "Yes, but you think that it's your fault." "And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, with the power of God, thrust into hell Satan... and all of the evil spirits that wander through the world for the ruin of souls." "You'll fit nicely into the cold fires of hell, with thoughts like that about young little girls." "I cast you out!" "Sorry, nothing." "You gonna need a bigger cross to bear with me than that." "You took one of my flock." "You will not get them all." "Yes, I can." "Connie?" "Connie?" "Where are you?" "Come on, it's getting late." "Connie?" "Connie?" "Where are you?" "Connie?" "Connie, come on, it's getting late." "Connie?" "You've got so many people worried about you!" "Connie?" "Hello?" "Father Drake?" "Shit." "oh, God." "Don't do that!" "Father Drake." "Oh, my God, it's everywhere." "Oh, my God" " Connie." "Connie too." "What's going on?" "Legion." "It's out." "Please don't, please don't, please don't." "If you could see yourself now." "Leah!" "She's not with us anymore." "What do you want?" "I want to flood your world and wash it clean." "I want to give purpose to lost souls." "I want to raise a legion." "Cecilia!" "oh, God." " Miss Pearce?" " Miss Pearce?" " Connie--oh, my God--Connie is dead!" " And Father Drake." "That is unfortunate." "No, no, no, no, what are you doing?" "You're not gonna believe this, but something really bad is happening in this school right now." "Yes, I know." "Let us the fuck out!" "I'm afraid that's exactly what I don't want." "But Connie and Father Drake!" "They aren't family." "Anna." "You're E|izabeth's sister." "What?" "But it was Elizabeth Dobbs, and-- and you're Miss Pearce." "I kept my mother's maiden name." "You would, you bitch." "Let go!" "Stop it!" "No one will hear you, except the one who'|| come looking, and in that case, scream all you want." "But why?" "Because in a true sisterhood, Alex... sisters love their sisters." "Can you heal yourself?" "She broke my healing hand." "Leah, why are you doing this?" "The girl is no longer." "As Legion is many, we must have many." "You're still hoping, aren't you?" "Get away from me!" "You still dream of your sight." "Fuck you!" "Leah?" "Legion?" "Hallowed be my name." "Leah?" "Leah?" "Are you o" "Leah." "Leah." "Be careful with hope." "It's a trick the devil will play on you." "Door, girl, get the door!" "Where's the lock?" "You think that's gonna hold?" "I think we're gonna need a little extra protection." "I don't like these colours at all." "I smell fear." "North, south, east, west, circle make us safe and blessed." "With this sword..." "With this sword, so straight and true, be thou barred, O works of darkness, shut out O spawn of chaos, guard against all evil in will." "The seal and bond be upon thee." "It is done." "There." "Done." "Hope you don't have to go to the bathroom." "I just need a little control with this hand." "I still gotta watch your back, you know." "Hey, Mara... we're gonna be okay." "What in this situation gives you the slightest hint that we're gonna be okay?" "I just made the circle, done the thing." "We're still here, aren't we?" "Yeah, but there's" " There is" " No!" "Seriously, a circle?" "Faith in the circle!" "You're right." "I'm sorry." "We're gonna be okay." "My dad dropped me off here." "He said, 'We all have a debt to pay, A|ex.'" "Wonder if he had this in mind." "At least your dad was around to give you a lift." "My dad never believed I could do anything... except screw things up." "He was actually happy to get rid of me here." "All the trouble I caused back home..." "But I would have never met you... so I'll take this." "Thank you... for having faith in me." "Sorry for touching you without asking." "Mara, you really did a good job on these circles." "I mean, they're, like, perfect." "Here we go." "Guys?" "Cecilia?" "Careful, Alex." "It could be a trick." "It's Cecilia, Mara." "Guys, what the heck's going on?" "Guys?" "Five for one, one for five, bring Elizabeth to me alive." "One for five, five for one, as my will, so be it done." "Five for one, one for five, bring Elizabeth to me alive." "One for five, five for one, as my will, so be it done." " Cecilia?" " What happened?" "God, it was awful, guys." " Leah, she just" " What?" "Was it Legion?" "Yes, Legion." "Fall back, guys." "Cece?" "What's wrong?" "Who drew this circle?" "What are you talking about?" "I drew it." "It's a" "Cece, how do you know that there's a circle?" "You know, Mara, I always pictured you as a blonde." "Shit." "This circ|e'd better hold." "The circle will hold." "Be careful what you believe in, Alex." "Your prayers, trinkets, and scribbles saved you before, but not again." "There are always ways around ways." "What the hell?" "Ceci|ia..." "Ceci|ia, listen to me, sweetie." "Fight him." "Get yourself out of there." "Why would I give up first sight?" "It's too beautiful." "Cecilia, don't!" "Try not to hurt her!" "Are you kidding me?" "Nlara, do you really think a little scrape would harm Old Scratch?" "You are a better vessel, girl." "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Enough of these games." "Mara, I don't want to do this." "Then you will fail." "Five for one, one for five, bring Elizabeth to me alive." "One for five, five for one, as my will, so be it done." "One for five, five for one, as my will, so be it done." "Five for one, one for five, bring Elizabeth to me alive." "One for five, five for one, as my will, so be it done." "Five for one, one for five, bring Elizabeth to me alive." "One for" "Your faith is strong, but your God is weak." "My God is not weak, Legion." "Then where is He?" "I think I shall enjoy this human form." "I don't think so." "Someone takes things from you, you take it right back." "One for five, five for one, as my will..." "Elizabeth." "Elizabeth?" "No, no, no." "No!" "Elizabeth." "Foolish girl, you think a blessed blade will end my reign?" "There is no way out from the inevitable." "Wait!" "You want a sister." "I am..." "Legion, you have what you want." "Now, give Elizabeth back to me, please?" "I have not the five, but only four." "Mara!" "Mara!" "Mara!" "Mara!" "We all have a debt to pay." "Mara." "Alex, wake up." "Alex." "Alex." "Alex." "Alex!" "Come on." "Heal thyself." "Heal thyself." "Come on, heal thyself." "Heal thyself!" "Alex, fight!" "Come on." "Come on, baby, don't give up on me." "Come on, come on." "Come on, I know you can do it." "Come on." "Please breathe." "Alex, please get up!" "Alex, please get up!" "Alex, please." "Please, Alex, heal." "Come on." "Alex, come on, get up!" "Alex, get up!" "Alex, please get up." "Alex, please get up!" "Alex, please." "Well, look at that." "Fate won out." "Shit!" " Watch your language, |" "V|ara." " Move." "You cannot leave the school property." "Get over it." "It'll be nothing compared to the little mess you've gotta clean up in there." "Daddy!" "Elizabeth!" "No shit." "That's your daddy." "Hope it was worth it." "Anna?" "Anna, what's wrong?" "No!"
