[gasps]

[panting]

[sets down glass]

Hi.

I told you yesterday that I

don't want to speak with you.

I know, and I'm sorry.

But you said to me it

wasn't Father Dumitru...

There's nothing more to be said.

It's God's will.

What about your will?

Father Dumitru killed your friend.

There is nothing I can do.

[speaks Romanian]

It's Stefan, right?

If Father Dumitru didn't

kill Adelina, who did?

[Stefan] What do you care?

All you people want to do is

to print lies about my sister.

You don't care what we have to say.

[Nicole] And what is that?

She wasn't sick in the head.

Look, if you've got something

to say, then I want to help you.

Please, if Father Dumitru and the nuns

didn't kill your sister, then who did?

Tell me.

It was the demon.

It spoke to me.

[hinges creaking]

[singing softly]

Adelina?

[continues singing]

Adelina.

Adelina.

[fly buzzing]

[continues singing]

[gasps]

[whimpers]

Adelina!

[demon speaks Romanian]

[gasps, panting]

Whatever was inside of

her was challenging me too.

Testing my faith.

I've never felt anything

so evil in my entire life.

Adelina had been in

Germany for the last year,

working as a nanny for a family

who had just adopted two

kids from the orphanage.

Before she went to work

for them, the German embassy

asked her to take a

complete psychological exam.

It's the country's policy.

She passed.

Why'd she come back?

She wanted to return to the monastery.

She wanted to work at the orphanage.

And nothing had happened in Germany?

No.

It all started when she got back.

The first thing Adelina wanted to do

was go see Father Gabrielle

and give him a gift.

He liked to collect porcelain

figurines of animals.

I'm sorry, who's Father Gabrielle?

He was a priest who

really looked out for us

when we were young at the orphanage.

He and Adelina were especially close.

When we left and he became a bishop,

we never saw him any more,

except when he would come

and stay at the monastery

for work and prayer.

Stefan!

Adelina!

[both shrieking, laughing]

[panting loudly]

[Stefan] He performed exorcisms.

We wish he could have helped Adelina.

[dark, muttered whispers]

[bell tolling loudly]

[women screaming]

- [body landing]

- [shouting in Romanian]

- No!

- [groans]

- [shouting continues]

- [sobbing]

[Vaduva] Father Gabrielle threw

himself off the bell tower.

We don't know what could have driven

him to commit the ultimate sin.

We watched as Adelina cradled

him in her arms as he died.

[faint sobbing]

We were all devastated.

But Adelina took it the hardest.

He'd been like a father to her.

We don't know why he was even up there.

He never rang the bell before.
