Prey for the Devil (2022) Movie Script
who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
In the shadow of the Almighty he dwells
I say to the Lord my refuge and my fortress
Annie!
are you there?
Open the door, Annie
Sweetie?
Annie, open the door, please!
Annie, let me in.
Open the doors, Annie
Annie!
Let me in, Annie
Annie!
open the door!
Your mother had schizophrenia
These sessions are mandatory for all employees sister
My mother suffered from depression
yeah, and it is
She was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia
But even as a child, I knew that
mark
mark?
I don't have a suitable description
Every night she would come to my room
Sometimes it was my mom
beautiful
loving
Sometimes it wasn't my mom
do my hair
she was singing that song
she was hurting me
She was holding me down..and making me cry
She says that the voice inside her head made her do it
I'm so sorry, Ann
Abuse by someone...you trust
My mother was not able to hurt me
she loved me
it's the voice that's inside
she was possessed
The Vatican established in 1835 in Rome a "school for training priests.
on the rites of exorcism
In 2018, reports of demonic possession cases reached unprecedented numbers
The Vatican decided to open Madras exorcisms outside of Rome
The nuns have a role in caring for the sick
They are forbidden to practice exorcism, as it is the exclusive domain of priests
School of Exorcism St. Michael the Archangel, Boston, Massachusetts
look who this is
- I'm a newcomer here. - Good morning
Thanks
You made a good point
We are no more sinners now than we were in the past
The human heart has never changed
Sister Ann
the world has changed
But the recorded reports of cases of demonic possession today
more than any other time in history
We use that which has been raging for centuries
We must keep the line .struggle for every soul
during the Spanish Inquisition
The Catholic Church...was responsible for torture
Thousands of what they know as heretics were killed
Many of them were simply sufferers
From mental disorders, mood, nervousness and personality disorders
The building you're in
It was built in the late ... eighteenth century
In response to the emergence of occult works
The clergy dragged women suspected of practicing magic
To the baptismal well to free them from evil spirits
Countless drowned in the holy waters
until the practice finally stopped
Excuse me, Doctor
Do you deny the existence of legitimate cases of demonic possession?
I've been here long enough to see things I can't explain
But one thing I do know is that the mind is amazingly powerful
He loves to play tricks on us
To distort our reality
Fortunately, the church's approach has evolved over the centuries
Here comes the role of psychiatrists like me
The Vatican has new guidelines.
It requires anyone who suspects... of being possessed by a demon
To undergo an in-depth physical and psychological evaluation
Before agreeing to the exorcism ritual
How are you today, Clark?
are you OK?
It's porridge with applesauce
Here you are
So, you like applesauce
I must remember that
I ordered a complete hemolysis as I do with all new patients
She was brought in for evaluation after having seizures
And muscle spasms and incontinence. Urinary hypersalivation
Natalie's mother believes she is possessed by some kind of evil entity
I believe that the test results will prove the opposite
It's not as scary as it looks
she can hear you
Shall we begin, gentlemen?
You didn't eat much
it looks..
dog?
it's a train
has a tail
it's abstract
okay then
You are officially a starving artist
I don't know why they don't give you candy
Thanks
what is this?
It's great to eat Nungat
What is "nongat"?
I don't know
It's delicious
You are my favorite person here
well, uh
We girls should stick together in this place
"I will be on your side"
Annie
Hey, Natalie
Hi
are you feeling okay?
I don't like that room
How did you get out of your room?
I wanted to find you
Nungat is a family of sweets.
Made of sugar, honey, nuts and beaten egg whites
I investigated it
Did you know that candy has families?
I don't know
Shall we go back to your room?
okay
Annie
I will be with you
Elena entered the intractable stage of demonic possession here
she tore her clothes
She ate her own urine and feces
in the intractable stage
The possessed reaches the extremes of physical and spiritual corruption
Salvation is still possible, however
Death is imminent
Unfortunately for Elena
This came first
Demons are Lucifer's foot soldiers
They know no fatigue, no fear, and no doubt
When you enter a possessed room
You are walking on the battlefield
Satan will try to distract you
.until you doubt the word of the Lord
Always remember that the word of God
is your strongest weapon
But the ritual is not just a series of prayers
but dance
We must feel the rhythm of the battle weapon
Arming our partners
We understand the right entry points for the attack
Unfortunately, the priests made grave mistakes in exorcising Elena
What different action would you have done?
"text translation"
"the sound"
My mom talked about hearing that voice inside her
She said the voice didn't want her
He wanted me
Because I was one of God's chosen soldiers
hi sister
I am reviewing some cases and there seem to be some gaps in the evidence
Records are displayed directly in the main archive
There are no loopholes
What about difficult cases?
it's confidential
That you called Sister Ann
I understand Sister Ann has taken... it upon herself
To attend another of your classes
I will not say attended .but pierced
She moves freely
The rules of the church are quite clear, Father
Only male clerics participate in exorcism training
until this moment
You must be a grateful child
even in past years
The school of caring for the sick and exorcising evil spirits was restricted to priests
now that you're standing here
What does it matter if I don't participate in an exorcism?
Is the nurse unhelpful to her patients because she cannot perform the surgery?
Impossible to think about female surgeons?
Someone should be first?
Yes
Good
Healing the body is a very different undertaking than the soul of disease
As members of society, Catholicism is for women
It is not our duty to free lives when we are members
We are here to console, pray, and show mercy
That's it
You can return to your duties now
Yes, sister
Father
she wants to learn
and I want to protect her
Clark, how do you know this song?
We were waiting for you
Your mother has a beautiful voice
Welcome? Can anyone hear me?
this is the end
I've seen enough
This entity seems to be after Sister Ann for no reason
I am provoked by her mere presence
For her own protection and the protection of others, here at St. Michael's
We must take her back to the convent
Evil is not confined to the walls of this institution
the best being here
i can work with her .monitor her
Working with her, with what logic?
I would like to let her know, Your Eminence
This is contrary to every custom and belief
nothing official
just enough to protect yourself and others
I'm not sure exactly what that is
this relationship that she had
Character
Father
We all have a personal relationship with God
Not with God sister
but with the devil
The castle fell
The walls collapsed
The black smoke obscures the sun's rays
Because as you might know, some of you do
We have a female student in the class
as a spectator
Sister Ann will accompany us for the rest of the semester
Now pay close attention
The nuances of our craft require active learning to truly understand
So, the first group
Let's go down to the entrance to Hell, shall we?
"Restricted Access" "Patient Lobby"
You can perform all kinds of prayers
"In memory of our fallen brothers"
You must remain steady
despite all the distractions
It could be the difference, between life and death
For most of you
Come on
This casualty is a recent entry to the organization
Dr. Peters' initial diagnosis was idiopathic epilepsy.
This casualty has been moved here for observation
When she began to exhibit behavior that Dr. Peters could not explain
Natalie, 10 years old.
We must move quickly to stop any further escalation
Who volunteers?
I will volunteer
Well, you took over
Who would like to help Father Dante?
I
Father Raymond
Thank God
Both of you performed a rite of exorcism
Every time you baptize a child
You cleanse him of his original sin
That was the baptism with holy water
This is a baptism of fire
Remember
The name "Lucifer" is derived from the Latin term "Lucifer".
"light Bringer"
Satan will shine his light
In the darkest, deepest periods, the rest of your minds
To reveal your deepest secrets
Your deepest pain
He will use this pain to pierce your soul
You must not ignore the girl
She is as much a demon as she is a victim
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen. Amen
Jesus, have mercy
I fear, O my God, the monster that defiles this innocent child
God, extend your mighty hand
And expel this devil from your servant
Natalie Hope
we are expelling you
I can't hear you
Get out!
Go away and stay far away from God's creation
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the top of Heaven to the depths of Hell
Look
she's at the top
Father
Don't stop, pray together
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the top of Heaven to the depths of Hell
Don't stop, stick to the words
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the heights of Heaven into the depths
To the depths of hell...
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the highest heaven
this would be hell
Oh my God repel the power of this demon
By the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension
I command you to leave the body. This is the child of God
Father
Father
Natalie
Natalie, can you hear me?
Oh, Sister Ann
Use the Bible
Natalie
Natalie, I'm here.
.I'm here with you
.I'm scared
Natalie, I'm here.
Go!
Father
Make room, you abominable creature!
Make room for Christ!
As for you, my Lord, you are a mare for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Akhtah, peace be upon him
I banished you in the far darkness
Where eternal ruin awaits you and your instigators
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, go away from her
Welcome
Hello my dear. There is nothing wrong
There is nothing wrong
I must start wearing an adult diaper in class
and so are you
To your health
Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't intervened there?
It's not a sin to take part in that, right?
But I thought I... reached out to her
for a bit..
but..
You did that and you weakened Satan
Because Natalie was still... out there somewhere
I don't know
Father Quinn got in there
are you OK?
Yes
I think this was for me
Why?
My little sister, Emilia
I was raped
I became pregnant
I am very sorry
She lost the baby
I have been plagued with grief ever since
Welcome
How do you feel?
I feel sleepy
This is not my room
no
This is a private room
I had a nightmare
I'm sorry
Can you tell me what you remember of him?
I was in your room
similar to this room
and..
There are people all screaming
Are they yelling at you?
I can't understand some of them
You may think you are talking to someone else
From?
the sound
which sound?
it tells me things
promise me things
Sometimes,
shows me things
bad things
There is nothing wrong
you can tell me
there has been
but..
you scream
Scream?
Natalie wasn't sanitized, right?
Language
Perhaps the Devil has taken refuge in Natalie
Did Satan enter it again?
Natalie will be kept under surveillance
If it continues to escalate
It may exceed our capabilities to deal with it
It may be transferred to the Vatican
They may treat her as an intractable case
I'd like to stay with her, Father
I made Tawasul
This is exactly the problem
The Exorcist is a professional, intercessor, and friend
What if I can help her?
Intractable cases are the most complex and sensitive that we face
It can only be dealt with by the most skillful exercises
If you want to help her
Salli
Your strength in spirit and body
You may go on to make a full recovery
"...March 9th, Natalie recalled a vision."

Interview: Tape 6/593D
"District of Columbia, 1978"
So, what happened when the soldiers came to your house that day?
It was me and my younger sister
They said if one of us could go, I ran away
I didn't wait for her, she just ran away
That you ran away and the soldiers killed your sister?
Yes
Mila, tell me about the sound you're hearing
I kept hearing the sound of shots
Satan spoke to me with a voice. Those shots to control me
Good
"control"
But then you were cleansed, right?
You have undergone an exorcism ritual
You are healed
recovered?
I felt guilty
but the body is still here
Did you do this yourself?
I prayed for the Lord's forgiveness
And I prayed again and again, but, deep down, I knew
that I do not deserve forgiveness
"sin"
"shame"
My mother felt guilty for what she had done
I was alone with her
Annie?!
where are you?
Annie!
Annie!
What you describe is terrifying and shocking
It is very difficult to face such memories
...your mother at the end
she committed suicide
And you felt responsible for her death
This is a common reaction to shock
To make the victim feel ashamed
The only way to get rid of these memories
She dragged her into the light
.and face the shock
What are you doing here?
What's wrong with Natalie?
Traffic is restricted
Why?
I don't know
Maybe they will move it
Father Dante
Welcome
Father
You can't allow Natalie to be moved
I've seen the records, the fatality rate for severe cases is over 90 percent
I'm afraid it lies not only in the stats system
No, it does not lie
But I don't think that lies .only in the words of the right either
no
The correct history of thousands of years when they received the word of God
and you have notes
Where did you read these records anyway?
I know I broke the rules
But there's a lonely, scared little girl in the middle of this
You're risking everything and making this fight personal
It's personal, Father. That's the point
You said that exorcism is about the nuances
However, we did not think about it from the perspective of the victim
So what does Satan want?
He wants to strip a person of his humanity
Which makes him feel that he is not worthy of God's love
Our goal should be to communicate with the possessed
And help them fight for their humanity
Let them know we see them, not just the devil
Isn't it possible that there are cases
unique cases
Which right can't explain?
What makes these cases unique?
Cases in which the victim feels ashamed
And deep guilt
So much so that he allows Satan to touch him and wants to suffer
and surrender to his control
So where does Natalie's shame come from?
she is an innocent child
I don't know
Lucifer was once the most beautiful and powerful angel in heaven
But he was arrogant and the Lord expelled him
- This. - Sister
I believe in you more than you can imagine
But you have to understand that the danger is here
If you disobey the church
And you followed your will
You'll find yourself wandering...in the dark
on your own
Father
I heard what you said
We can't allow that. If they move her, she won't come back
I agree with you, but we don't have much time
what do you mean?
So, what if there was a way...you could prove it to them
are you right?
your sister
She is possessed. I know she is
And her seizures got worse
I tried to insert it here but
This is complicated for the church
because of her child
She's religious, and you're talking about guilt
She had to make an impossible decision and her anxiety increased
she let the devil in
That you want to try an informal exorcism?
not alone
Please, Ann
My sister doesn't have much time left
I saw you with Natalie. You have talent
You communicate with the possessed and see the person through the devil
if you really believe in what you say
Natalie is still possessed
she is still alive
Hello mommy
how are you?
My mom says she has been sleeping for three days now
she is ready
for you
she can do this
Sister Ann is here to help you, okay?
Emilia
can you hear me?
will not stop
the sound?
He has no power over you, so don't give in to him
Good
Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven and whose sins are covered
Blessed is he who is not held accountable by God for his sin
and in his spirit there is no cheating
You know the feeling when something is growing inside of you
Tell me, sister
Yes
The one who aborted the child was his father
Help!
help me!
please please
Help me!
Emilia, listen to me.
Focus on my voice
Satan targets religious people, because our sin is deeper
Ann
Open your eyes, this voice is yours, not his
You don't have to hide from him anymore
I know you wanted the baby to be healthy
That you wanted to have the baby
can i conceive him
Yes
Ann
I know it's you
It is not shameful to control you
He's here again. Let him go
Ann!
Psalms, chapter 5.
You, O Lord, bless the friend, as if with a shield, surrounding him with contentment
Do not feel ashamed. The Lord's love is for you
He will not abandon you in pain
Follow me to the pain...till we finish this together
Only in you, my God, do I put my trust
God beside you and forgive you
it's over
Emilia, you are free.
that you are free now
tattoo on your wrist
Is it a decoration?
Yes
I was pregnant when I was 15
It pains me to remember the father of the child
They kicked me out of the orphanage
By the grace of God, I found my way to the sanctuary run by the Sisters of Saint Mary
they adopted me
Take care of me
What about the child?
The sisters decided to adopt her
I felt guilty for a moment but I...
I have carried it with me ever since
I gave it up
I pray since then
God will not forgive me
For you, Lord, are good."
The Forgiving
listen
it really is
Cardinal Matthews summons you
Yes, sister
Your Eminence
I'm afraid I have some tragic news
Emilia, sister of Father Dante, committed suicide last night
What?
Emilia's mother told the parish
That you tried to perform an exorcism on her
Is that correct?
I am very sorry
So, it is true
yeah, i thought
You thought you knew better than a church
existing thousands of years ago?
of course not
I overestimated your competence
You fell into the devil's trap
Your Eminence
It wasn't Sister Ann's fault
I was desperate
You weren't quite ready to take on an exorcism
Satan retreated
to avoid further attack
it was a hoax
not defeat
You betrayed the trust the Church placed in you
which she defended
I believe..
I think it's best to go back to my place with the Sisters of Saint Mary
come in
thanks for seeing me
oh
this is grim
Although it is clear that the Holiness Benedetta Carlini...
She spent the last 35 years of her life in a small hole in the ground
On the day of her death, she said she had no regrets at all
I didn't realize you were familiar with the vocabulary of Catholic mystics
I am an academic
I like to hear both sides
I heard about what happened..
to the father's sister Dante
I really thought I had it
I came
to give you this
"Brain, mind and body" "..in recovery from
Shock"
I know you're a girl who loves books
But I thought you might enjoy some fun reading in exile
and..
I have patients
No matter how hard you try
I couldn't save them
You may be relieved to know that Natalie has been taken out
What?
It was cleared after observation
And she went home with her mother this morning
You are on a new path
It is normal to feel lost
go ahead
Father Dante
Sister Ann
what are you doing here?
Something happened at school
Natalie
walk with me
She suffered a sudden relapse and breakdown
The priest and nurses were killed
I will pray for their souls and for Natalie's salvation
She is in critical condition and must be transported to Rome
No, we don't have time for that
she has hours left not days
We moved her to the catacombs, under the main building
They still have holding cells there
Detention cells?
It is part of the original structure
It's completely cut off from the rest of the academy
I don't think they are willing to risk more lives
to try exorcism again
Why?
Why did you come to tell me this?
because she gave me this
I bought this when I first got here
I wrapped it around the wrist of my little daughter, whom I had given up
Father
Natalie. My daughter.
Satan uses it
to reach
I can't let her suffer for me
I will handle this
Oh, glorified prince of the heavenly armies
Michael, Archangel.
Defend us in battle
Against the emirate and powers
against the dark rulers of this world
against evil spirits
in these places
In which you descend your mercy. On us, my God
Trustworthy
Is this holy water?
Yes. It is the baptismal well
back off
right now!
Raymond, move.
didn't you see
- She killed your sister. - She didn't kill her
Move
Don't act like a stranger
You received my invitation
Natalie
Let them go
Natalie
Ann
Natalie
Natalie
I can't hear you
Raymond
Raymond
Raymond
Why did you leave me, mom?
I was so scared and lonely without you
You are not Natalie
I know who I'm talking to
be honest for once
Why did you abandon her?
- I was 15. - No
not like that
What happened to your mother?
She sacrificed herself to save you
That's why you can't be a mother
You cannot be responsible for another life
but I can now
Hey, Ann
that you won
I love you so much, mom
Natalie
Ann!
Run!
Natalie
I am Father Dante
I'll take care of Ann, okay? I want you to cross from here
this is
Listen, I need you to find the best place to hide, okay?
Go, go!
this is
Ann!
Anne, I know you're not well.
I want you to listen to me
Just leave Natalie, please
Leave it
Do not be afraid
Ann!
Ann!
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm here with you
My mom never stopped fighting the devil from within
Till the end
let's go
I'm here with you
Ann
he's stuck
can not be opened
he's stuck. My God
he's stuck
Your strength is in the spirit, not in the flesh
To feel lost
go ahead
You don't have to hide from him anymore
along the pain
I knew
Ann
Ann
Ann
Can you come to finish the papers?
naturally
Hey
I know it doesn't look the same now
But when you are at home, with your family and friends
You will forget everything about this place
I do not want to forget you
So, go
your gift
I have a treasure
Thanks
Without your intercession, the enemy would have won this battle
You will obviously have an important role to play in the church, Sister Anne
We have discussed where your talents could be best
so,
We will award you an academic research fellowship
In the Vatican
and fellowship in exorcism
Thanks
It is an unprecedented honor
Sister, we believe you can make a difference
Thanks for everything
Technically, you're the first exorcist
Saint Catherine of Siena?
Really
She became a nun at the age of 13
right
Until the first and seventh centuries
I will accept this
if I could give you one last piece of advice
Of course, Father
Be careful
Once you know the devil
The devil knows you
Annie!
Annie!
In the shadow of the Almighty he dwells
I say to the Lord my refuge and my fortress
Annie!
are you there?
Open the door, Annie
Sweetie?
Annie, open the door, please!
Annie, let me in.
Open the doors, Annie
Annie!
Let me in, Annie
Annie!
open the door!

she was hurting me
She was holding me down..and making me cry
She says that the voice inside her head made her do it
I'm so sorry, Ann
Abuse by someone...you trust
My mother was not able to hurt me
she loved me
it's the voice that's inside
she was possessed

I am reviewing some cases and there seem to be some gaps in the evidence
Records are displayed directly in the main archive
There are no loopholes
What about difficult cases?
it's confidential
That you called Sister Ann
I understand Sister Ann has taken... it upon herself
To attend another of your classes
I will not say attended .but pierced
She moves freely
The rules of the church are quite clear, Father
Only male clerics participate in exorcism training
until this moment
You must be a grateful child
even in past years
The school of caring for the sick and exorcising evil spirits was restricted to priests
now that you're standing here
What does it matter if I don't participate in an exorcism?
Is the nurse unhelpful to her patients because she cannot perform the surgery?
Impossible to think about female surgeons?
Someone should be first?
Yes
Good
Healing the body is a very different undertaking than the soul of disease
As members of society, Catholicism is for women
It is not our duty to free lives when we are members
We are here to console, pray, and show mercy
That's it
You can return to your duties now
Yes, sister
Father
she wants to learn
and I want to protect her
Clark, how do you know this song?
We were waiting for you
Your mother has a beautiful voice
Welcome? Can anyone hear me?
this is the end
I've seen enough
This entity seems to be after Sister Ann for no reason
I am provoked by her mere presence
For her own protection and the protection of others, here at St. Michael's
We must take her back to the convent
Evil is not confined to the walls of this institution
the best being here
i can work with her .monitor her
Working with her, with what logic?
I would like to let her know, Your Eminence
This is contrary to every custom and belief
nothing official
just enough to protect yourself and others
I'm not sure exactly what that is
this relationship that she had
Character
Father
We all have a personal relationship with God
Not with God sister
but with the devil
The castle fell
The walls collapsed
The black smoke obscures the sun's rays
Because as you might know, some of you do
We have a female student in the class
as a spectator
Sister Ann will accompany us for the rest of the semester
Now pay close attention
The nuances of our craft require active learning to truly understand
So, the first group
Let's go down to the entrance to Hell, shall we?
"Restricted Access" "Patient Lobby"
You can perform all kinds of prayers
"In memory of our fallen brothers"
You must remain steady
despite all the distractions
It could be the difference, between life and death
For most of you
Come on
This casualty is a recent entry to the organization
Dr. Peters' initial diagnosis was idiopathic epilepsy.
This casualty has been moved here for observation
When she began to exhibit behavior that Dr. Peters could not explain
Natalie, 10 years old.
We must move quickly to stop any further escalation
Who volunteers?
I will volunteer
Well, you took over
Who would like to help Father Dante?
I
Father Raymond
Thank God
Both of you performed a rite of exorcism
Every time you baptize a child
You cleanse him of his original sin
That was the baptism with holy water
This is a baptism of fire
Remember
The name "Lucifer" is derived from the Latin term "Lucifer".
"light Bringer"
Satan will shine his light
In the darkest, deepest periods, the rest of your minds
To reveal your deepest secrets
Your deepest pain
He will use this pain to pierce your soul
You must not ignore the girl
She is as much a demon as she is a victim
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen. Amen
Jesus, have mercy
I fear, O my God, the monster that defiles this innocent child
God, extend your mighty hand
And expel this devil from your servant
Natalie Hope
we are expelling you
I can't hear you
Get out!
Go away and stay far away from God's creation
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the top of Heaven to the depths of Hell
Look
she's at the top
Father
Don't stop, pray together
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the top of Heaven to the depths of Hell
Don't stop, stick to the words
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the heights of Heaven into the depths
To the depths of hell...
He is the one who commands you
He is the one who threw you from the highest heaven
this would be hell
Oh my God repel the power of this demon
By the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension
I command you to leave the body. This is the child of God
Father
Father
Natalie
Natalie, can you hear me?
Oh, Sister Ann
Use the Bible
Natalie
Natalie, I'm here.
.I'm here with you
.I'm scared
Natalie, I'm here.
Go!
Father
Make room, you abominable creature!
Make room for Christ!
As for you, my Lord, you are a mare for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Akhtah, peace be upon him
I banished you in the far darkness
Where eternal ruin awaits you and your instigators
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, go away from her
Welcome
Hello my dear. There is nothing wrong
There is nothing wrong
I must start wearing an adult diaper in class
and so are you
To your health
Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't intervened there?
It's not a sin to take part in that, right?
But I thought I... reached out to her
for a bit..
but..
You did that and you weakened Satan
Because Natalie was still... out there somewhere
I don't know
Father Quinn got in there
are you OK?
Yes
I think this was for me
Why?
My little sister, Emilia
I was raped
I became pregnant
I am very sorry
She lost the baby
I have been plagued with grief ever since
Welcome
How do you feel?
I feel sleepy
This is not my room
no
This is a private room
I had a nightmare
I'm sorry
Can you tell me what you remember of him?
I was in your room
similar to this room
and..
There are people all screaming
Are they yelling at you?
I can't understand some of them
You may think you are talking to someone else
From?
the sound
which sound?
it tells me things
promise me things
Sometimes,
shows me things
bad things
There is nothing wrong
you can tell me
there has been
but..
you scream
Scream?
Natalie wasn't sanitized, right?
Language
Perhaps the Devil has taken refuge in Natalie
Did Satan enter it again?
Natalie will be kept under surveillance
If it continues to escalate
It may exceed our capabilities to deal with it
It may be transferred to the Vatican
They may treat her as an intractable case
I'd like to stay with her, Father
I made Tawasul
This is exactly the problem
The Exorcist is a professional, intercessor, and friend
What if I can help her?
Intractable cases are the most complex and sensitive that we face
It can only be dealt with by the most skillful exercises
If you want to help her
Salli
Your strength in spirit and body
You may go on to make a full recovery
"...March 9th, Natalie recalled a vision."
"intractable case"
"should ignore"
"victim"
His sister, Cardinal Matthews, is requesting that this letter be sent
"hard cases"
"secret"
"Ownership of the Vatican"
Transferred to the Vatican
Sleep deprivation, electric shocks, splenectomy
"the patient died"
"Tearing, self-mutilation"
Transferred to the Vatican

Interview: Tape 6/593D
"District of Columbia, 1978"
So, what happened when the soldiers came to your house that day?
It was me and my younger sister
They said if one of us could go, I ran away
I didn't wait for her, she just ran away
That you ran away and the soldiers killed your sister?
Yes
Mila, tell me about the sound you're hearing
I kept hearing the sound of shots
Satan spoke to me with a voice. Those shots to control me
Good
"control"
But then you were cleansed, right?
You have undergone an exorcism ritual
You are healed
recovered?
I felt guilty
but the body is still here
Did you do this yourself?
I prayed for the Lord's forgiveness
And I prayed again and again, but, deep down, I knew
that I do not deserve forgiveness
"sin"
"shame"
My mother felt guilty for what she had done
I was alone with her
Annie?!
where are you?
Annie!
Annie!
What you describe is terrifying and shocking
It is very difficult to face such memories
...your mother at the end
she committed suicide
And you felt responsible for her death
This is a common reaction to shock
To make the victim feel ashamed
The only way to get rid of these memories
She dragged her into the light
.and face the shock
What are you doing here?
What's wrong with Natalie?
Traffic is restricted
Why?
I don't know
Maybe they will move it
Father Dante
Welcome
Father
You can't allow Natalie to be moved
I've seen the records, the fatality rate for severe cases is over 90 percent
I'm afraid it lies not only in the stats system
No, it does not lie
But I don't think that lies .only in the words of the right either
no
The correct history of thousands of years when they received the word of God
and you have notes
Where did you read these records anyway?
I know I broke the rules
But there's a lonely, scared little girl in the middle of this
You're risking everything and making this fight personal
It's personal, Father. That's the point
You said that exorcism is about the nuances
However, we did not think about it from the perspective of the victim
So what does Satan want?
He wants to strip a person of his humanity
Which makes him feel that he is not worthy of God's love
Our goal should be to communicate with the possessed
And help them fight for their humanity
Let them know we see them, not just the devil
Isn't it possible that there are cases
unique cases
Which right can't explain?
What makes these cases unique?
Cases in which the victim feels ashamed
And deep guilt
So much so that he allows Satan to touch him and wants to suffer
and surrender to his control
So where does Natalie's shame come from?
she is an innocent child
I don't know
Lucifer was once the most beautiful and powerful angel in heaven
But he was arrogant and the Lord expelled him
- This. - Sister
I believe in you more than you can imagine
But you have to understand that the danger is here
If you disobey the church
And you followed your will
You'll find yourself wandering...in the dark
on your own
Father
I heard what you said
We can't allow that. If they move her, she won't come back
I agree with you, but we don't have much time
what do you mean?
So, what if there was a way...you could prove it to them
are you right?
your sister
She is possessed. I know she is
And her seizures got worse
I tried to insert it here but
This is complicated for the church
because of her child
She's religious, and you're talking about guilt
She had to make an impossible decision and her anxiety increased
she let the devil in
That you want to try an informal exorcism?
not alone
Please, Ann
My sister doesn't have much time left
I saw you with Natalie. You have talent
You communicate with the possessed and see the person through the devil
if you really believe in what you say
Natalie is still possessed
she is still alive
Hello mommy
how are you?
My mom says she has been sleeping for three days now
she is ready
for you
she can do this
Sister Ann is here to help you, okay?
Emilia
can you hear me?
will not stop
the sound?
He has no power over you, so don't give in to him
Good
Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven and whose sins are covered
Blessed is he who is not held accountable by God for his sin
and in his spirit there is no cheating
You know the feeling when something is growing inside of you
Tell me, sister
Yes
The one who aborted the child was his father
Help!
help me!
please please
Help me!
Emilia, listen to me.
Focus on my voice
Satan targets religious people, because our sin is deeper
Ann
Open your eyes, this voice is yours, not his
You don't have to hide from him anymore
I know you wanted the baby to be healthy
That you wanted to have the baby
can i conceive him
Yes
Ann
I know it's you
It is not shameful to control you
He's here again. Let him go
Ann!
Psalms, chapter 5.
You, O Lord, bless the friend, as if with a shield, surrounding him with contentment
Do not feel ashamed. The Lord's love is for you
He will not abandon you in pain
Follow me to the pain...till we finish this together
Only in you, my God, do I put my trust
God beside you and forgive you
it's over
Emilia, you are free.
that you are free now
tattoo on your wrist
Is it a decoration?
Yes
I was pregnant when I was 15
It pains me to remember the father of the child
They kicked me out of the orphanage
By the grace of God, I found my way to the sanctuary run by the Sisters of Saint Mary
they adopted me
Take care of me
What about the child?
The sisters decided to adopt her
I felt guilty for a moment but I...
I have carried it with me ever since
I gave it up
I pray since then
God will not forgive me
For you, Lord, are good."
The Forgiving
listen
it really is
Cardinal Matthews summons you
Yes, sister
Your Eminence
I'm afraid I have some tragic news
Emilia, sister of Father Dante, committed suicide last night
What?
Emilia's mother told the parish
That you tried to perform an exorcism on her
Is that correct?
I am very sorry
So, it is true
yeah, i thought
You thought you knew better than a church
existing thousands of years ago?
of course not
I overestimated your competence
You fell into the devil's trap
Your Eminence
It wasn't Sister Ann's fault
I was desperate
You weren't quite ready to take on an exorcism
Satan retreated
to avoid further attack
it was a hoax
not defeat
You betrayed the trust the Church placed in you
which she defended
I believe..
I think it's best to go back to my place with the Sisters of Saint Mary
come in
thanks for seeing me
oh
this is grim
Although it is clear that the Holiness Benedetta Carlini...
She spent the last 35 years of her life in a small hole in the ground
On the day of her death, she said she had no regrets at all
I didn't realize you were familiar with the vocabulary of Catholic mystics
I am an academic
I like to hear both sides
I heard about what happened..
to the father's sister Dante
I really thought I had it
I came
to give you this
"Brain, mind and body" "..in recovery from
Shock"
I know you're a girl who loves books
But I thought you might enjoy some fun reading in exile
and..
I have patients
No matter how hard you try
I couldn't save them
You may be relieved to know that Natalie has been taken out
What?
It was cleared after observation
And she went home with her mother this morning
You are on a new path
It is normal to feel lost
go ahead
Father Dante
Sister Ann
what are you doing here?
Something happened at school
Natalie
walk with me
She suffered a sudden relapse and breakdown
The priest and nurses were killed
I will pray for their souls and for Natalie's salvation
She is in critical condition and must be transported to Rome
No, we don't have time for that
she has hours left not days
We moved her to the catacombs, under the main building
They still have holding cells there
Detention cells?
It is part of the original structure
It's completely cut off from the rest of the academy
I don't think they are willing to risk more lives
to try exorcism again
Why?
Why did you come to tell me this?
because she gave me this
I bought this when I first got here
I wrapped it around the wrist of my little daughter, whom I had given up
Father
Natalie. My daughter.
Satan uses it
to reach
I can't let her suffer for me
I will handle this
Oh, glorified prince of the heavenly armies
Michael, Archangel.
Defend us in battle
Against the emirate and powers
against the dark rulers of this world
against evil spirits
in these places
In which you descend your mercy. On us, my God
Trustworthy
Is this holy water?
Yes. It is the baptismal well
back off
right now!
Raymond, move.
didn't you see
- She killed your sister. - She didn't kill her
Move
Don't act like a stranger
You received my invitation
Natalie
Let them go
Natalie
Ann
Natalie
Natalie
I can't hear you
Raymond
Raymond
Raymond
Why did you leave me, mom?
I was so scared and lonely without you
You are not Natalie
I know who I'm talking to
be honest for once
Why did you abandon her?
- I was 15. - No
not like that
What happened to your mother?
She sacrificed herself to save you
That's why you can't be a mother
You cannot be responsible for another life
but I can now
Hey, Ann
that you won
I love you so much, mom
Natalie
Ann!
Run!
Natalie
I am Father Dante
I'll take care of Ann, okay? I want you to cross from here
this is
Listen, I need you to find the best place to hide, okay?
Go, go!
this is
Ann!
Anne, I know you're not well.
I want you to listen to me
Just leave Natalie, please
Leave it
Do not be afraid
Ann!
Ann!
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm here with you
My mom never stopped fighting the devil from within
Till the end
let's go
I'm here with you
Ann
he's stuck
can not be opened
he's stuck. My God
he's stuck
Your strength is in the spirit, not in the flesh
To feel lost
go ahead
You don't have to hide from him anymore
along the pain
I knew
Ann
Ann
Ann
Can you come to finish the papers?
naturally
Hey
I know it doesn't look the same now
But when you are at home, with your family and friends
You will forget everything about this place
I do not want to forget you
So, go
your gift
I have a treasure
Thanks
Without your intercession, the enemy would have won this battle
You will obviously have an important role to play in the church, Sister Anne
We have discussed where your talents could be best
so,
We will award you an academic research fellowship
In the Vatican
and fellowship in exorcism
Thanks
It is an unprecedented honor
Sister, we believe you can make a difference
Thanks for everything
Technically, you're the first exorcist
Saint Catherine of Siena?
Really
She became a nun at the age of 13
right
Until the first and seventh centuries
I will accept this
if I could give you one last piece of advice
Of course, Father
Be careful
Once you know the devil
The devil knows you
Annie!
Annie!
