XAVIER:
Yes?ANGELINA:
What if he was suffering fromthe delusion that he's possessed?
Wouldn't he react in the same way?
XAVIER:
Admittedly, it's very easy toconfuse psychotic illness with possession.
It's up to the exorcist
to discern the difference.
WOMAN:
So how do you do that?Well, there are many ways.
For example, paranoid schizophrenics
are not aware that they're deluded.
MICHAEL:
Neither are the possessedwhile they're being possessed, are they?
But people who are possessed have
periods of lucidity. That's my point.
So do schizophrenics.
XAVIER:
One can't suddenly manifestabilities simply because one is deluded.
The man on this tape is German.
How does he spontaneously speak Russian?
How could a boy in a village in Africa
found 400 miles from his home...
...claim that he was abducted by aliens?
It's just as unlikely.
But we're willing to call him crazy
and your German man not...
...because he believes in aliens,
not God.
XAVIER:
We're not hereto scrutinize religion with science.
The object of this course is to view
phenomena through the lens of faith.
aliens or God?
The jury's out on both.
Interesting perspective for a priest.
I'm not a priest...
...yet.
So you're having a final fling
with atheism?
Well, I guess it's more like an
ex-girlfriend who keeps coming around.
WOMAN:
Angelina.[IN ITALIAN] We are going to
the library. Are you joining us?
[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]
XAVIER:
Thank you, gentlemen. See you at Mass.
Michael. Walk with me a moment.
I understand you were taught
by Father Matthew.
MICHAEL:
That's right.XAVIER:
He's a dear friend.We studied together at Loyola.
He's asked me to keep an eye on you.
He thinks you've got great potential.
MICHAEL:
That's a lot of pressure.For both of us.
What do you think of the course so far?
To be honest, I don't know
what to make of it.
XAVIER:
I suspected as much.Tell me, Michael, do you believe in sin?
Yeah, I just don't necessarily believe
He that committeth sin is of the devil.
Then that'd be all of us, wouldn't it?
And if we're all of the devil,
how do we fight him?
Tomorrow, I recommend you take
your doubts for a walk around Rome.
You can pay a visit
to an old friend of mine.
Father Lucas?
He's Welsh. Jesuit.
His methods are a little less orthodox.
Studied under
Father Carmine De Filippis.
MICHAEL:
I don't know what that means.He'll be happy to provide you with
the kind of proof you seem to need.
Excuse me, I have a Mass to say.
[BELL TOLLING]
[CATS MEOWING]
[MEOWS]
Jesus.
MICHAEL:
Father Lucas?
