"Sergeant Maine." "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit." "My child, I'm here to receive your confession." "I didn't just murder Roberta's children." "I also devoured their souls which are now here inside of me." "When I die, I will bring them with me to hell and give them to Ameth, my Master and God." "And he will reward me by placing me at his side." "I am one of his followers." "And I've returned to Earth on a mission." "To collect innocent souls." "Do you still want to hear my confession?" "Do you know what you're saying?" "You killed all those children because you are mentally unstable." "All this is only in your mind." "And in yours?" "What is in your mind?" "I can read it, you know." "I can see inside." "You are different from those other two-bit priests." "You are curious." "You want to know the truth, you want to understand." "You'll soon be satisfied, Father." "Ameth is ready to accept your deal." "He will appear to you." "You want to look the devil in the eye, don't you, Father?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Don't speak of the devil now... when you're about to receive the judgment of God." "God has already judged me!" "He knows I belong to Ameth." "Take it!" "Read my Bible instead of yours." "And you will understand what I say." "Time to go now." "Confess yourself!" "Before it is too late." "Oh, priest!" "I want you to witness my last orgasm." "We will be together, you and I!" "Together in Hell!" "The children." "The souls of the children." "Here we are." "What a great house!" "Wait!" "You..." "Your palace, my queen!" "Put me down!" "You carry me, too." "Put me down." "You're gonna hurt your back." "Are you trying to insinuate that I am not the man I used to be?" " Yes." " Well, there you are." "Oh, God!" " Excuse us!" " Oh, sorry..." " Hi!" " Hi!" "Oh." "It's so big!" "This is great!" " Hmm..." " Do you like it?" "Mm-hmm." " Come on, let's go." " Race you to the top, come on!" "We won!" "Okay." "Wow!" "Who could have done all this?" "It must have been Reverend Jonathan!" "What a great welcome!" "Look at that cool swan!" "Why on earth is it black?" "Swans are white!" "Annie, not all swans are white!" "In fact, the Prince of Swans in the fairy tales are all black." "And in the biblical sense." "Well, maybe, I don't know." "Still don't like it." "I do, and so does Johnny, right?" " Get our luggage, come on!" " Okay!" "Carole, aren't you coming?" "No, Johnny's very, very sleepy, I'm going to put him to bed." "All right, we'll come up after Johnny's asleep." "Johnny, I know that you're not sleepy, but," "I just didn't want to carry all those heavy suitcases." "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole!" "Carole, at least help me put your stuff away!" "Wait, I have to finish drying my hair." "What do you have to do?" "There's something behind this wall." "What do you call it?" "A blow dryer?" "Yeah, that thing." "Behind your wall?" "I only see a hole." "You try it too." "Try what?" " Try to dry your hair." " How?" "Put your head next to the wall, close your eyes and think, like you're at the barber shop." " Like this?" " Yeah." "I have become a zombie, I will eat you and then Johnny." "Mommy!" "Daddy!" "Okay, dinner's ready." "Martin, are your hands clean?" "Yes, Mom." "Well, ooh..." "I... made a mess of the eggs, so all we've got in the house is beans." "Oh, and my kids love beans." "Right, guys?" "Mmm..." "I love beans." "But then you make stinkies." "Carole!" "Let us pray." "Dear Lord, thank you for the food that you've... and the beautiful new house, where your name will always be honored and respected." "And, Lord, may your love bless us forever." "Amen." "Amen." " Let's eat." " Let's eat." " Let's eat." " Okay." "Oh!" "What happened to the electricity?" "There's nothing else on!" "I can't eat in the dark, I can't find my mouth." "It's under your nose." "Hey, I think it's the fuse." "I'll go see." "Be careful, honey." "I know where I'm going." "Peter!" "Okay, so it wasn't a fuse." "Mom, is it true that we're the first family to live in this place?" "Isn't that fun?" "But soon there'll be many families moving in around here, and we'll have lots of new friends." "I can't wait to meet all the new kids, especially the girls." "Martin." "Aren't you gonna say goodnight to Johnny?" "Well, goodnight, Johnny!" " Good night, Martin." " Good night, Mom." "Give me a kiss." "Good night, my little angel." "Goodnight, Mommy." "Goodnight, Dad." "Carole!" "Carole!" "What?" " Can you hear that?" " Hear what?" "That noise?" "Hey!" "Don't scream at me." "It's not my fault!" "Oh, then, whose is it?" "The swan is moving by itself!" "Look." " This is my Bible?" " Mm-hmm." "How did you do this?" "It looks brand new!" "I ironed it." "You mean?" "Come here." "What?" "I love you." " You want to know a secret?" " Hmm." "For a woman, there is nothing more exciting than the idea of going to bed with a sexy Reverend." "So you think I'm sexy?" "Oh, yeah!" "Visita Interiora Terrae Rectifica" "Invenies Occultum Lapidem." "No mortal can control his kingdom." "He can claim whoever he chooses." "You..." "Or you..." "No mortal can control his kingdom." "Come on, children." "Come on." "We will be together, you and I!" "Together in hell!" "Stop." "Stop!" "Stop, don't let her..." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "By the authority of the church, and the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I command you, cursed demon... lead me to you!" "What a beautiful child!" "You will be safe with us." "You'll be happy having lots of lovers." "All these mothers but just one child." "But now, your soul..." "This sacred, beautiful bed we're giving you..." "Sleep, sweet child, sleep." "Carole!" "Carole!" "Now I know what it is." "It's an oven, used to burn bad children like me." "Carole?" "Sweetheart..." "Carole!" "Peter!" "Oh, my God!" "Look at her face!" "Carole, how did this happen?" "I wonder why this room is sealed off?" " That explains it right there!" " What's that?" "The heat here..." "One of the pipes in the heating system here has a hole in it." "Let me plug this thing up before somebody else gets burned." "Yeah." "Hi." "How do you feel?" "Fine, but Johnny has a fever." "Oh, no!" "Maybe I'll have to give him a shot." "Oh, no!" "Johnny is afraid of needles." "Dad, phone's ringing." "First one to get the phone wins a dollar." "On the count of three, okay?" "One, two..." "Hey, you didn't count to three!" " Hello?" " Hello!" "Good Morning, Reverend Jonathan." " Martin?" " Yes, this is Martin." "I'm fine." "Hey, thanks for the house, it's really cool." "I'm glad you like it." " Is your father there?" " Yes, Dad's here." "Bye." "Hello, Reverend!" "Well, Peter, your son Martin is a very clever boy!" "He's too clever!" "How do you and Annie like the new house?" "Oh, it's huge!" "There is a lot of fixing up to do, but overall, I think it relaxes me." "Well, I just hope you won't feel too isolated there." "Well, to tell you the truth, we haven't had much time to start feeling lonely." "There's something I have to tell you about the new center that you're about to baptize." "I'm listening." "Well, I think it would be better if you met me here tomorrow." "It's a..." "It's a delicate subject, if you understand what I mean." " I see." " By the way, have you had any visitors, or, any disturbing telephone calls?" "No." "As a matter of fact, you're the first person we have spoken to." "Why do you ask?" "Uh, no, nothing." "It's nothing." "I'll see you tomorrow then, Peter." " Goodbye." " Okay." "Goodbye." "I thank the Lord for the food we are about to receive, and the nourishment in our bodies." " Amen." " Amen." "Annie, can you pass me some bread, please?" "What's that?" "I don't know, must be the radio." "What a strange station." "It sounded like some kind of prayer." "Did you hear how that sounded?" "It must be some sort of connection." "Let's eat." "Don't touch it!" "Get the kids out of here." "Take them upstairs." "Come on, baby, go." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on..." "Run!" "Mighty God, may the evil spirits no longer have power over your humble servant." "May it leave and never return." "May the good will and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ enter the home and his command hold you to chains so we're safe." "Oh!" "Tell him to come in." "Strange things are happening in that house." "I've lost complete control." "When did the manifestations begin?" "You knew about this all along." "Have you been talking to George by any chance?" "George?" "Yes, George Tomaso, the ex-Jesuit." "Ah, George." " We were at seminary together." " Yes." "You and George were the best." "Two lilies in my garden, but... something has changed George." "I was happy when he chose Catholicism." "It was the purest way to his vocation, and the most sincere." "He is now a blackened lily." "He is broken and infected." "Don't let him ruin you, Peter." "You still have faith, a pure and sincere faith." "Wait a minute!" "This has nothing to do with George!" "It's the house." "That house is..." "Possessed, is that what you are trying to tell me, Peter?" "No!" "It isn't possible, I don't believe in these things." "You are wrong, Peter." "There is a devil, I have chosen you to drive him away." "But I am not alone." "It's best that you are not alone." "Your family will give you the strength that you need." "You see, Peter, George, before, was an exorcist." "He drove away many demons." "But not the demons that now possess him." "The demons of solitude." "I'm sorry, I can't." "I need some time to think." "Take this, it'll help you understand." ""Rituals of an Exorcism?"" "I will pray for you, Peter, I will pray for you and your family." " Hello." " Annie." "Oh, Peter." "Peter, I'm so glad it's you!" "Is everything all right?" "Carole has a very high fever." "It happened all of a sudden." "There's no way we can leave now!" " Please, Peter, hurry home!" " Okay, I'll be right home." "There are five phases, Peter, five!" "George?" "Presence, claim, breaking-point, voices... expulsion." "What are you talking about?" "Do you want to be an effective exorcist, Peter?" "You have to learn fast!" "I don't want anything." "I want to get my family out of here now!" "They won't let you." "They've got powerful magic on their sides." "Like your daughter's fever." "How did you know about that?" "I'm here to help you." "Help me?" "I'm winning my battle." "I'm past the fourth phase." "But I need your help to get me through the final battle." "This..." "This is my evil." "I'm sorry, I can't help you." "Visita Interiora..." "Terrae..." "Who is it?" "Who is speaking?" "Rectifica Invenies Occultum Lapidem!" "What are you doing here, creature of the demon?" "Demon?" "Go away!" "You don't belong in the church." "The demon!" "Once you taught me to wage war against him." "Help me now." "To expel him from within myself." "The faith!" "The faith is the only remedy!" "It's a lie!" "Peter's small time, everyday kind of faith will not be enough to save him." "He will be destroyed." "Along with his family." "Is he in you now?" "His name is..." "Ameth." "I don't know whether he's my friend or my enemy, but he is a jealous companion." "He never leaves me." " Do you want to look upon him?" " No..." "All you have to do is look into my eyes." "Spiritual guide, dear master... exorcise me, if you're able." "Leave me in peace." "You're afraid." "You are afraid!" "You live in a way, protected in this church, as in a fortress." "But remember, the time will come when you, too, must play a part in this." "You won't be able to hide away... any more." "Wait, George." "Don't go, wait!" "You won't be able to hide away... any more!" "Peter." "Oh, my God!" "Peter." "I could have killed you!" "I almost killed you!" "Annie, where are the children?" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Thank God you're okay!" "Honey, how's your fever?" "I don't have one any more." "It disappeared when they appeared." "Who are they?" "Those bad people." "It's been a nightmare, Peter." "Just calm down and tell me what's happening here." "They tried to take our babies." "We fought them off, huh?" "We're pretty tough guys." "Okay, listen to me." "We're gonna go downstairs... we're gonna get in the car and we're gonna go." " Oh, God, they're back." " Come on, let's go." "Come on!" "The back!" "Carole!" "Martin!" "Carole!" "Leave us alone!" "Let's get out of here." "Dad!" "And you." "You will be the next." "Carole." "Carole, honey, where's Martin?" " Carole." " Carole, tell us where Martin is." " Carole, Carole." "Carole." " Martin!" "Martin!" "What's wrong?" "Carole, look at me." "Martin?" "Martin!" "It's okay." "Come on." "Come on." "Peter, where's Martin?" "Oh, God." "Carole, honey, listen to daddy." "Where did Martin go?" "The wall." "He's in there." "What is she talking about?" "Martin." "He's gone." "He's in danger." "I can feel it." " Martin!" " Annie!" "Johnny!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "Martin!" " George?" " He's here." " In the house." " What?" "What?" "He's in the house." "But they have him." "Those things?" "Witches." "New England witches." "George, what is this?" "What is happening?" "This house is cursed." "It's a gateway to hell." "Your son, he's in an infernal limbo." "We'll save him." "You must set him free, wherever he is." "We gotta find him." "Where was the last place you saw your son?" "Upstairs." "Martin." "This is the gateway." "The threshold." "George, what's behind the wall?" "Another dimension." "This is where my son is?" "You must escape before it's too late." "Martin." "Martin." "Martin!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Martin." "Mom!" "Martin?" "Martin!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "George, where's Annie?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "The wall." "The only way Martin can get back... is through that wall." "Martin!" " Oh, God." " Thank God." "Are you okay?" "Oh, Peter, we got our baby back." "Okay, let's get out of here." "You got to get out of here immediately." "Peter." "That's a trick, isn't it?" "Oh, my God." "They just want us back in that house." "No, Peter." "Your son is still in there." "Oh, then, who is that?" "These are horrible things... brought about by the foolishness of a dark age." "Your community will carry that slaughter in it's conscience for centuries." "Twenty women burnt at the stake together, for witchcraft." "Of course, some were guilty." "But the others..." "The majority of the women killed in that huge burning stake were killed for no reason." "So Reverend Jonathan sent me here to somehow redeem the killed." "It's all here in this book." "This is their bible." "Their creed." "Their god is a demon by the name of Ameth." "George, this is the chant." "The same chant they chanted at the stake." "To invoke their demon." "But why me?" "Why do they want me?" "Because you were the white lily." "The faith, purifier of damned souls." "My family, my children..." "You read that book carefully." "You'll discover terrible things... they performed during their rituals." "They murdered tiny children and dragged their souls to the kingdom of their demon, Ameth, who would take those souls, those untainted innocent souls, and devour them." "That's heresy." "George, those souls must first be judged by the Lord." "But how can we be really sure about it?" "This is no time to challenge theology." "They have in their clutches the soul of your child." "That thing up there is just a sham." "What do they want?" "Why have they chosen to haunt me?" "And now, you, and your family." "George, we're people of the church." "That's part of the answer, Peter." "Perhaps it's because we think that our contact with the Lord makes us more immune than the others." "Because we have the audacity to believe that we've some kind of special ticket to paradise." "They want to put us to the test." "What test?" "Their dark powers against the two of us." "A faithless ex-priest, and a family man, who happens also to be a Reverend." "Martin." "We'll be together forever, Carole." "Oh, my God." "I must consult Reverend Jonathan." "What do you expect him to do?" "Send out an army of exorcists?" "Peter, the children!" "No!" "Annie." "Take her away from here for the love of God." " Honey, let's go." " But Martin..." "Peter!" "Get the two of them out of this house!" "Do as I say!" "Annie, let's go!" "I'm not going anywhere without my son." "Annie, don't argue." " But he's my son." " He is my son, too." "There is nothing you can do here!" "Now take her to Jonathan's and wait for me there!" "Can I have Johnny back now?" "I don't trust George." "Annie, he's just trying to help us." "But he's a victim of the demon." "What if he makes us lose Martin forever?" "I'll be right there." "Annie, I won't let anything happen to our son." "George, what should I do?" "You must stay with me... throughout the exorcism." "George." "Peter..." "I can't." "It's all a farce." "There's nothing we can do." "I'm not even a real priest any longer." "To the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," "I name you, George Tomaso, a man of the cloth." "In the name of God and..." "It's not enough." "It's not enough." "You need faith, and at the moment," "I'm just a frightened man." " I'm afraid..." " Well, George, I'm afraid, too." "But my son is upstairs." "I must be strong and save him from the darkness." "You've given me what I needed." "Your strength and your faith... will have to guide me." "Together we will chase the demon from this house, from your boy and from myself." "You said it before." "It's a battle." "Us against them." "The last battle." "The final stage." "The house was constructed over the stake, wasn't it?" "Only the church can cure the church." "Only the faith can cancel the errors." "Yes, that's right." "Peter is still there with George." " George..." " You've got to go help them." "I can only pray for them." "I am too old, too tired." "But I'm leaving her with you." "I am going back." "You can't!" "It's not safe." "Go to Martin and Dad." "Johnny says you're bad and it's all your fault." "Almighty God, we, your humble servants, exhort you." "In the name of your son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sake... help us through this heavy task." "Drive the demon from this house." "Drive these souls of hell back to the abyss from which they came." "Open the door." "Evil spirit, I banish you from this boy." "...so we should have his soul." "I banish you and all your kind." "In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord." "Out of the body of this creature of God." "He who commands you is He who has placed you in the highest heavens through the depths of hell." "Hear us, Satan." "And stand in fear." "Satan, parasite of life." "I order you out, in the name of the church of the living and the dead." " Out..." " Offender." "Out, evil seductor." "To the power of Christ." "He's destroyed your name." "He has defeated you." "He has broken your power." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "You are banished in the name of Christ." "Martin?" "Dad." "Martin." "Martin." "Dad, get me out of here." " Dad." " We're going right now, Martin, very far away" "George, why are you waiting?" "Let's go." "He's still in here." "Peter, he's still here." "Get the boy out of this house." "Out of this house!" "Dad, I'm cold." "George, I beg of you, let's go!" "I'm not finished, Peter." "It's not over yet." "Where's Mom and Carole?" "They're in a safe place." "Martin?" "Peter." "Martin." "Well, hello, George." "I command you, in the name of the Lord..." "Save your prayers to your faith." "You've done nothing but hunt me down all this time." "And for what?" "You want to see, you want to understand." "I'm here to help you." "But first, you must repent." "Renounce your God and invoke mine." "Invoke Ameth." "Lord Jesus, give me the strength to resist." "All you have to do is lower that lever and that child will be sent to the depths of hell." "His soul is already condemned." "If you collaborate, you will have eternal damnation." "You will be a wound to society." "A dark angel who will see things no human being has ever seen." "You will understand the mysteries of life and death." "What are you waiting for?" "Lower that lever." "If you lower that lever, George, you will have the answers you search for." "No!" "Return to hell." "I command you, condemn you in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord." "Martin." "We've got to escape, get away from here." "Don't let them take you." "What do you think you're doing, George?" "George!" "Martin!" "George." "To hell with you, Father George Tomaso." "George." "George." "Peter." "Peter." "The beast... exists." "With my own eyes," "I've seen it." "George, hear this prayer." "Save the soul, I beg of you." "I am..." "I absolve you of all your sins, George Tomaso." "Our Lord has forgiven you." "He's ready to take you back into his arms." "George, go towards the light." "Towards the light, my friend." "Go towards the light." " George." " Peter." "Now I see it." "Now I understand." "It's beautiful." "So beautiful." "Your son is still alive." "You must go in there" "Beyond the threshold to save him." "Be careful." "Their powers are immense." "Lord... receive my tired soul... into your arms." "Peter!" "You must sacrifice him." "It's the only way to free him." "Peter." "It would be a sweet death." "The child will not suffer." "He wants to die." "Martin, isn't it true what I said?" "Mom, don't be scared, I'm ready." "Oh, God, Peter." "He can't hear you, Annie." "He is with us now." "As you belong to us, you are now a part of the kingdom." "Now, come in with us, Annie." "Don't resist." "It's wonderful to belong to the king." "Open your eyes to the new world, Annie." "The world will appear brighter." "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, don't listen to them." "Reject." "Don't listen to them." "Reject." "Damned demon, I won't let you kill this child." "Leave them, demon." "Leave, offender." "Leave, go away to Jesus Christ." "Leave them, demon, leave them!" "Leave them!" "In the name of Christ..." "Kill him." "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Burn, damnation." "Come on." "Come on!" " Come on." " The battery is dead." "Burn, demon." "Peter, they're coming!" "Burn, damnation." "Burn." "Oh, it's over." "It's finally over."
