...was she experiencing symptoms | typical of epilepsy?

Not typical, no.

Are they typical indications | of any other conditions?

- Say, for example, psychosis? | - Yes, I would say that's correct.

But isn't psychosis an entirely different | medical condition from epilepsy?

- Yes, in my... | - So aren't you selectively choosing...

...what parts of Emily's experiences | fit your epilepsy diagnosis...

...while ignoring those which | indicate something else?

- Objection. Argumentative. | - Withdrawn.

No further questions.

We have to work fast.

They're only giving me an hour | with you tonight.

Listen.

Before we get started, | there's something I have to tell you...

...something I should've said to you | before I let you take the case.

Okay.

There are forces | surrounding this trial.

Dark, powerful forces.

Just be careful, Erin. | Watch your step.

I see.

Look...

Father, you don't have to worry | about me.

I'm an agnostic, remember?

Demons exist, | whether you believe in them or not.

Your involvement in this trial might | just open you up to their attacks.

Look, Father, | I appreciate your concern...

...but you need to be worried | about yourself.

Ethan Thomas is using the medical | aspects of this case as ammunition...

...and I have to be prepared | for his attacks, so...

...with what little time we have, I think | we need to focus on your defense.

Now, what I need from you is more | information about Emily's condition.

Specific details of how it progressed | after the dorm-room episode.

Well, after the first incident...

...she was sent to the university | hospital for testing and observation.

Emily once told me that in her | dorm room, she resisted the demons...

...but at the hospital | they overcame her.

So she believed...

...that her possession | began at the hospital?

Yeah, I think she did.

And after that, things just went | from bad to worse.

Emily!

Emily?

Oh, my God. Emily?

Don't touch me.

Jason, please...

...don't leave me.

And I never did leave her.

I stayed until the end.

So much of what we shared | was like a nightmare...

...but I wouldn't give up | a single minute I spent with her.

She woke me up, you know?

To things I never felt before, | things I never knew I could feel.

I never knew how dead I was | until I met her.
