Exorcist: The Beginning Page #4

They were focused on his brother.

That was a lot more than focused.

They acted as if he wasn't even there.

Can you see?

Can you hear?

Come with me.

Monsieur Bession?

Mr. Bession.

You worked on a dig in Derati.

You drew a picture of an idol.

Where did you see it?

Was it in the church?

Mr. Bession.

- Father Merrin.

- How do you know my name?

I said how do you know my name?

Are you hurt?

No.

I'm free.

God is not here today, priest.

I hope he finds peace.

I'm Father Gionetti.

I've been waiting for you.

How did he know my name?

Have you drifted so far from God, Merrin,

that you can't see?

Monsieur Bession

was touched by the devil.

Demonic possession?

Forgive me, Father.

I never said he was possessed.

Only touched.

So, "touched."

What does that mean?

In 1647, the Ursuline Convent

in Loudon, France...

was plagued by possession.

Thirty-four nuns had

been touched by the devil...

committing unspeakable acts.

Having orgies including goats

doesn't make them possessed.

Simply horny... and inventive.

Four priests were dispatched

to exorcise the demons.

Three of them were possessed themselves

and subsequently died.

The last one was driven insane

by his brush...

with evil.

That is what happened

to Monsieur Bession.

And that evil remains in Derati.

You must be careful there.

Remember, he is the father of lies.

He will seek to poison your mind.

You will need this against him.

The Roman Rituals.

If you need somebody to perform

an exorcism, I'm not your man.

I'm not a priest anymore.

You will always be a priest,

Father Merrin.

Only your faith can save you.

Well, then I'm doomed.

Joseph?

What do you have there?

Can I see?

You threw it away.

- Jefferies, what the hell are you doing in here?

- It was in the dirt outside.

- You threw it away.

- No, I didn't.

- The clasp must have come loose--

- Liar!

Do I repulse you that much?

Maybe if you could cure

my f***ing face...

I might look as good to you

as that archaeologist.

- Joseph?

- He's coming for you.

What?

He's coming for you.

- What happened?

- I had a bad dream.

Ohh.

Don't worry.

You'll be fine.

Where is everybody?

Sebituana's baby is coming,

so the village has gathered in welcome.

Oh.

Joseph. Hey.

Joseph.

You're back.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm just a little bit tired.

These lesions--

they're not from the shock, are they?

No.

They're completely asymptomatic.

Itjust doesn't make sense.

- He should have recovered by now.

- So what is it?

In this part of the world...

it could be a dozen things...

but his symptoms don't

really match any of them.

So all I can do

is just watch and wait.

I have to do some work up at the dig.
