Exorcist: The Beginning Page #5

- Will you be all right?

- Hmm. Yes.

Come sit with me, Lancaster.

I promise I won't bite.

What is it?

- How was Nairobi?

- Oh, fine.

- Did you see Monsieur Bession?

- He's dead.

- How?

- I don't know.

Some accident.

I just don't understand everything

that's happening here.

It seems like I can't

help anyone anymore.

Hey.

Easy.

Help me hold him.

Emekwi. I'm doing

everything I can for him.

Joseph?

It's this place, Lancaster.

The Turkana are right.

- It's cursed.

- Sarah.

You don't understand.

What they did to me

in the camp. They--

There's nothing left to bleed.

There is something here,

something evil.

Sarah, it's so much easier

to believe in evil as an entity...

but it's not.

It's a purely human condition

inside all of us.

Did Bession talk about

what he found under the church?

There's an ancient temple below,

a pagan place...

where they used to conduct sacrifices,

human sacrifices.

Why would they build a church

on top of something like that?

Perhaps to purify the site.

But then why bury it?

No!

Merrin!

You better come with me.

Jefferies didn't show up

for the dig this morning.

He wasn't in his room,

so they came to the bar and they found--

Chief Sebituana's baby

was stillborn last night.

He blames the whites.

You think the Turkana tookJefferies?

I think this place

is on the verge of an uprising.

I've contacted Major Granville.

A detachment will be here

by this afternoon.

You disagree?

In my experience, bringing soldiers

into a situation is always a bad idea.

Who buried them?

Everybody died.

Who buried them?

All right! Halt!

- Major Granville.

- Hello, Peter.

Come on! Out you get!

Move it, Wilkins!

- Any answers on Jefferies?

- I'm afraid not.

Well, you did the right thing

calling me, Father.

I've been in these situations before...

and you have to stay on top of--

on top of these people.

I'm not sure the Turkana are responsible

for what's happening here, Major.

Major Granville?

This dig is too important to jeopardize...

and until I'm satisfied

that the excavation is secure...

the British Army will

assume complete control.

The Turkana won't like

the show of force.

I'm not concerned with

what the Turkana like, Mr. Merrin!

If they start any more trouble,

they will have to answer...

to the might

of His Majesty King George.

You cannot be here.

Please tell Sebituana

I'm sorry for his loss.

You are not welcome here.

I want to know about the plague

that destroyed this village 50 years ago.

It was not a plague.

So, what was it?

The evil in your church...

it has taken Emekwi's youngest son...

and it is getting stronger.

You must abandon your work...
