Exorcist II: The Heretic Page #4

Synopsis: Dr. Gene Tuskin works with troubled children, perhaps none more troubled than Regan MacNeil, who suffers from bad dreams and repressed memories. The memories she represses are of the time she was possessed by a demon. Dr. Tuskin's invention, a device that hypnotizes two persons and links their minds together, reveals that the demon, named Pazuzu, still lurks within her. It is desperate to emerge again and wreak havoc. Meanwhile, Father Philip Lamont is ordered by his cardinal to investigate the death of Father Merrin, the priest who died while performing an exorcism on Regan. Father Lamont undertakes his task reluctantly. He feels unworthy of his assignment. He also feels that Evil is literally an entity and that this entity is winning the battle over Good. His investigation takes him to Africa where he locates another recipient of Merrin's exorcising and learns something fascinating and terrible about locusts.

We're going fiying.

Far, far away.

oh, good morning, Sharon.

what got you up so early?

The doves woke me.

I guess they were hungry.

I may not be here when you get home.

can you let yourself in?

- Will you be all right?

- Where are you going?

- Washington. I'll be back soon.

- Washington?

Some things your mother didn't do

before going on location.

oh, okay.

wanna fly, babe? There you go, up.

I'm grateful to you for coming.

Mrs. MacNeil wants me

to help you while I can.

She would do anything

for Father Merrin.

She believes he gave

his life for Regan.

Are they gonna make him a saint?

The world doesn't want

any more saints.

This is not an official investigation.

when Father Merrin arrived,

how did he prepare himself?

Did he pray?

They couldn't explain it,

the police, could they?

Did Father Merrin ever name the demon?

No.

It knew him, though.

- How do you know that?

- It called his name.

Did the demon seem

to expect Father Merrin?

Yes.

It feared him, I think.

was...

was Father Merrin afraid?

You'd better see where it happened.

what was her condition

when Father Merrin saw her?

Hideous. That evil face.

- I couldn't bear to be near her after.

- You're with her now.

Two years I stayed away. Two haunted

years, going out of my mind.

And all the time I longed to see her.

Finally, I came back and found that...

...when I'm with her

is the only time I'm at peace.

why would that be? I can't understand.

It frightens me.

Have you tried a psychiatrist

or a priest?

- I'm talking to one now, aren't I?

- I'm not here for you.

There.

In there.

Praying. Have you tried praying?

Prayer?

I pray for the soul of Father Merrin,

who died in this room.

And for Sharon, who was touched

by the shadow of evil.

And for myself.

For myself.

- Next week then, Frank, okay?

- Is there any point going on?

I'll be in there fighting.

Just as long as you are.

- Hello.

- Hello.

come on in.

Do you...?

- Do you have children of your own?

- Yes, I do. Two.

A boy and a girl.

I'd like to spend more time with them.

Must be difficult,

with all your responsibilities.

Not to mention the complications

of being divorced.

You seem to manage.

Your heart is good.

It's hard to live alone.

Don't you ever need a woman, Father?

Yes.

Telling secrets?

Do you remember dreaming

of Father Merrin?

Yes.

can you see him now?

Yes.

where is he?

It was iong ago when I was studying

the hoiy men of Africa.

This boy, this young boy...

...has very speciai powers.

They need his heip

against the iocust swarm.

But perhaps this swarm comes...

...because of the boy.

Does great goodness

draw evii upon itseif?

Now, Regan, Father Lamont
