Deliver Us from Evil Page #5

Thanks, Daddy.

Christina, here's your toast.

Why doesn't Daddy

go to Church with us?

Legend has it, your daddy used

to go before we were married.

Did Grandma make you go

when you were little?

I go Christmas and Easter. Doesn't

that pretty much cover it, anyway?

JEN:
Christina,

go wait for me in the car.

CHRISTINA:
Bye, Daddy.

Bye.

I'm pregnant.

That's great.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

When did you find out?

A week ago.

A week? Why didn't you tell me?

You've been working a lot.

It's okay.

Hey, honey...

I'm sorry. I'm happy. Lam.

I'm so haPPY-

I know.

More time at home.

I understand the hours

you got to work,

but even when you're here,

you're not here.

IgetH.ldo.

I do.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

I love you.

(SIGHING)

(SIGHING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

(WATER SLOSHING)

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Hey. Give me another

one of these.

This one's full of static.

I also got that surveillance

video you requested.

Great. Set it up.

Sign it outwith Smith. Okay.

BUTLER:
Hey.

Hey. Zoo clips are

in the comm center.

"Zoo clips"? Sounds like

my favorite porn site.

Let's go. Go ahead.

I'll meet you there.

What can I do for you, Father?

You must be Catholic.

It's the second time

you've called me Father.

I was an altar boy

at Saint Ignatius.

I was raised Catholic.

Past tense.

Yeah, I guess

I outgrew all that.

You outgrew God?

What do you want?

I came to see if you've made any

progress in Jane Crenna's case.

What makes you think

the case is still open?

Well, I went to the zoo

and asked them to let me see the

security camera recordings,

and they told me only the arresting

officers had permission for that.

Why do you want to

see the recordings?

To help me determine

why Jane did it.

I can save you the time.

The reason she hurt her kid is

because she's f***ing crazy,

and now, she's in the loony

bin where she belongs.

Jane Crenna is no lunatic.

You kidding me? I was there.

And I've known her for years.

Well, how do you

explain what she did?

That's not the issue here.

I just want to

see the recordings.

No, you explain to me why

you think she's not crazy.

I believe Jane's problem

to be spiritual in nature.

I knew it. (CHUCKLING)

I've experienced

two types of evil

in this life, Officer Sarchie.

Secondary evil,

the evil that men do.

I'm sure you

know all about that.

I've seen enough.

And primary evil,

which is something

else entirely.

Meaning what?

I'm sure you remember

that in Catholic teaching,

there are very specific signs that

indicate the presence of an evil spirit.

Well, Jane is demonstrating

many of them.

You think she's possessed?

I'm sorry, Padre, but I

think it's ridiculous
