Incarnate Page #2

You're wasting your time.

It's not gonna happen.

I don't clock in

for the Vatican.

What do you have

against the Church?

How much time you got?

Look, I just don't believe

what I do

belongs to any one religion.

- Exorcising demons?

- No, to you, it's a demon.

To others, it's an unclean

spirit, it's jinn, it's orisha.

It's... Take your pick, OK?

Really, it's just

a parasitic entity

in a non-corporeal

transference.

What if I told you

a parasitic entity

just took a little boy?

I would say it ain't my problem.

What if I told you

it was Maggie?

I thought that would

get your attention.

Hmm...

Let me guess.

She's holed up

in a half-dead body

in a whorehouse,

just ready to be taken down.

You need an incarnate

because the ring of St Vicinius

and a piece of holy cloth

just won't cut it this time.

I'm sorry. I don't know

what you're talking about.

Then let me make it

crystal-clear.

The last beautiful woman

your superiors sent here

dangled the same carrot -

"We're sure it's Maggie."

Well, surprise, it wasn't,

just some lesser succubus who...

turned a suburban housewife

into a heroin-addicted

throat-cutter

who nearly killed me

and my assistants.

Look, I have no idea

about the last woman they sent.

What I do know

is that I have an archdemon

possessing the body

of an innocent 11-year-old boy.

We believe that arch

is that entity you call Maggie.

So if you and your assistants

really want to take her out,

give me a call.

Just don't wait too long.

The boy won't survive

more than three days.

Ember.

Is it her?

Why don't you come inside?

So this is what

Vatican money buys?

Can I offer you anything?

I just need to know, Felix.

Is it Maggie?

Uncertain.

The Church has excluded me

from this one.

Why? Because they can't stomach

the murder of a child?

Or because they're afraid they

can't cover it up this time?

Ember, remember where you are.

And where's that?

With a friend.

Remember the first thing

I taught you

about entering

other people's minds?

Humans are easily blinded

by their needs and desires.

It would serve you well

to remember that.

We each have our methods.

We each have our motives.

This conversation

wouldn't have lasted this long

if you didn't know

it was her.

You know it's her, don't you?

Yes.

But if you haven't spoken

to the Church...

..how do you know?

I want to show you

something.

The door's glass

is four inches thick.

A rhino couldn't crack it.

There are 12 cameras inside and

out, monitored 24 hours a day.

Fantastic. What is it?

I've found

the light agitates it.

Is that a person? Got somebody

f***ing locked up in there?

Remember the incarnate

who disappeared last year?
