Exorcist II: The Heretic Page #3

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.

come on, Regan.

I'll be right back.

I bet they're pretty drawings.

How are you?

want me to draw a picture?

what would you like me to draw?

- A house.

- A house?

why do you want a house?

A house is dull.

How about if I draw you a face?

- How do you feel?

- All right. You?

oh, I'm fine.

The psychological effects of synching

with another mind last a long time.

It's very powerful.

- Did you see what you wanted to see?

- Evil is gaining.

- Father Merrin was killed.

- By Regan?

She didn't. It did.

It wasn't the mind of a child.

It was horrible. Utterly horrible.

And fascinating.

we don't know all that much

about synchronized hypnosis yet.

what you saw could have easily been

a dream, a fantasy, a hallucination.

Not a memory at all.

Names, just names. Better to see

the face than hear the names.

I can't have a discussion now.

I have to do my rounds.

Doctor, what I saw...

I'm sorry.

It'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Hi, Amy.

Regan did a picture of you.

what's it mean?

It's you. She draws well.

The flames.

Flames.

Doctor. Doctor, the flames.

They're getting bigger.

- We've got to put the fire out.

- Take it easy.

It's probably some post-flashing.

It's an aftereffect of hypnosis.

No, you've got to help me.

we may be too late.

- Where you going?

- You've got to help me. Her picture.

- Come on, Father. Give me a break.

- No, there's a fire somewhere.

I'll get the fire department.

okay.

You kids can go on in now.

Everything's okay. Go on in now.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you.

- I got it.

Regan's picture, the flames.

She warned us.

That contact between us came

about through your machine.

whatever it was,

it saved the children.

It took a machine. The work you're

doing is incredible. Miraculous!

The machine is a device

to penetrate pathological states.

No, you're talking about therapy.

You don't realize the importance!

As much as I enjoy recognition,

you're overstating it.

Don't you understand that I was

face to face with the evil in her?

Your machine has proved that

there's an ancient demon within her!

we must fight it, we must help her!

It's all okay now.

You can go on in, all right?

I was trying to help her

before you came along.

You must let me synch with Regan!

In that way, you can control things.

well, I just don't know.

Listen, you can go in now.

It's all clear, okay?

I know what concerns you.

That Regan will suddenly remember.

That she'll go into shock.

I believe that Regan

already remembers everything.

The deaths, the possessions,

the demons.

She's out there, all alone,

trying to deal with this thing.

All by herself.

Come, Regan.

Come, Regan.
