The Exorcism of Emily Rose Page #7

...even after she started | taking the medication?

Yes. Because Gambutrol | has a cumulative effect.

It takes time to build up | in the system.

You assume that Gambutrol would've | helped her, but you don't know.

It's a reasonable assumption, but...

No, of course, I can't be certain.

Doctor, is "psychotic epileptic | disorder" a common medical term...

...or did you just make it up?

Well, I distinguished | and named the...

So psychotic epileptic disorder | is really your own pet theory?

- Objection. Argumentative. | - Sustained.

When Emily chose | to stop her medical treatment...

...what do you think | should've been done?

Upon recognizing her condition...

...I would have tranquilized her | and force-fed her.

And then, if necessary...

...I would've treated her | with electroconvulsive therapy.

Electroshock treatment. You would've | done this against her will?

To save her life?

Absolutely.

Nothing further.

The witness may step down.

Your Honor, I offer into evidence this | photograph as People's Exhibit 3-A.

And having done so, | the people rest.

The photograph is entered | into evidence.

We are recessed until | tomorrow morning, 9:30 sharp...

...at which time the defense | will give its opening statement...

...and call its first witness.

I'm sorry I was late.

I didn't get a lot of sleep. Big power | outage knocked out my alarm clock.

- It won't happen again. | - No, I didn't sleep either.

What kept you awake?

Doesn't matter.

You're under attack.

What are you talking about?

You're in a spiritual battle, Erin.

The forces of darkness are trying | to keep you away from the light.

Don't let them.

Don't worry about today. | We're doing fine.

We're getting creamed. | I can't believe I walked right into that.

Look, if we don't find a doctor | to testify that Emily...

...wasn't epileptic or schizophrenic | or schizo-epileptic, we're gonna lose.

Care of the city's main branch | and the university library...

...I bring you another dozen | fun-filled books...

...about the demonic | and the mentally deranged.

They burned women at the stake...

...during witch hunts | for being possessed.

Glad you don't have to defend | those guys.

- How are we on our medical experts? | - Not good.

The psychiatrist you wanted | is tied up in another trial.

And the neurologist is sailing | to Costa Rica.

This book I'm reading, | it's by an anthropologist.

It's about contemporary cases of | possession, mostly in the Third World.

People there are still | primitive and superstitious.

Maybe.

Maybe they see possession | for what it really is.

Maybe we've taught ourselves | not to see it.

- You saying you believe in this stuff? | - No.
