The Crucifixion Page #4

---

Phil, this isn't the first time he's performed

an exorcism on someone who didn't need it.

I guess this is beginning to look more

like a madman who murdered a nun story, huh?

I'd say so.

It's brutal what happened to her.

Anyway, I'm heading back over to the

monastery to see what else I can find out.

All right, you take care of

yourself, and, uh, call me later.

[dog barking in distance]

- [gasps]

[faint whispering]

[whispering continues]

[hinges creak]

[exhales]

[loud thump]

[breathing heavily]

[man whispering in Romanian]

[Nicole breathing heavily]

[engages parking brake]

[shuts off motor]

[quietly] I am so going to hell.

[motorcycle starts]

I almost didn't recognize you.

Have you got a minute?

I'm still having a hard time believing

they couldn't see she was dying,

how they could do that to her.

Because from their perspective,

they weren't doing anything to her.

They were trying to stop

the demon from doing it.

No exorcism is the same,

but there are different stages to follow

once we know that the victim

is, in fact, possessed.

The first is what we

refer to as the "presence."

It's important to find out who the demon is

so you can cast it out.

In most cases, it has control of the body,

like denying it food and water.

The second we call the "breakpoint."

There's usually complete panic, confusion,

accompanied by hallucinations,

noises and odors.

The next is called the "clash."

The exorcist is now in

direct battle with the demon,

as it wants to stay in

the victim as a resident

or it must return to hell.

The last and final stage is

referred to as the "expulsion."

In the supreme triumph of God's will,

the demon leaves in the name of Jesus

because it's been identified.

[Nicole] But Adelina died.

Why would he kill her?

[Anton] He didn't need her any more.

One dead nun, five other

clergy in jail for murder,

another dark stain on

the fabric of the Church.

And not being exorcised, it

was free to possess again.

Demons can possess again?

It's called transference,

the demon moving from

one vessel to another.

Sometimes it's merely through

physical contact with the possessed,

but most often, it possesses

through a weakened soul.

The possessed reflect the

demon's anger and its black soul.

It has some pretty good information

about demons that you might find useful.

- [teacup clatters]

- [spoon stirring]

What are these?

Sometimes demons have help.

[Nicole] My mother used

to say rays of sunshine

are the fingers of God,

giving guidance and showing the way.

[whispers] What?

[grunts]

[exhales]

[sighs]

[whispers] Come on.

[garbled static]

[indistinct, garbled voices]
