[woman 1] Why?
[gasping] Tell me why.
Calm down, Mom.
Jimmy was always good to you.
[dramatic music plays]
I didn't do it.
Mom, you have to believe me.
[woman gasping]
It was the demon inside of me.
Michael, you are the demon.

[girl 1] Why weren't you
at school today?
I was my dad's funeral.
[dishes clatter in background]
How did he die?
He killed himself.
[girl 1] I'm sorry.
He was quadriplegic.
[]
Will you do
the science project for me?
Sure, don't worry.
[girl 2] Thanks, Marnie.
You're the best.
[chuckles]
My rabbit keeps eating
my fucking clothes.
-[girl 2] What's his name?
-Rhonda.
Cool.
[indistinct lyrics]
You wanna see something creepy?

What?
Are you scared?
[eerie music plays]
[metal rod rattling]
[ladder clanging]
Come on, Marnie.
[thudding footfalls]
[lid clunking]
Shit.
It's locked!
Of course, it's locked.
[girl 2] Wasn't always.
It's 'cause it's cursed.
[Marnie] Sure.
It's cursed.
Because three stupid kids
fell inside and drowned.
Three kids dying
in the same place?
Let's go.
I don't like it up here.
[birds chirping]
Hey, how is the new job?
It's not new.
It's the same shitty job,
but somewhere else.
Where have you been?
I needed some air.
[woman sighs]
I'm not doing this very well.
Don refuses to talk,
and Caroline acts
as if nothing has happened.
We all have different
ways of processing pain.
I'll see you later, okay?
Yeah.
See you later.

[munching]
Do you want some ketchup, Don?
[munches]
Just ask for it.
"Mom, pass me the ketchup"
It's easy.
Leave him alone, Mom.
If he doesn't wanna talk,
so what?
Just ask for it, Don.
Come on, ask for it.
It's four simple words.
"Mom, pass me the ketchup."
That's five words.
[munches]
-Thanks, Carol.
-[Caroline slurps]
Mom, hand me the ketchup.
See, now Carol asked
for the ketchup,
so I'm gonna pass it to her.

My dad left me money,
but I can't touch it
till I'm 18.
That's only four years from now.
Four years in this boring hell.
It's not as boring
with a friend.
Look at this.
[cigarette sizzles]
Come on.
Try it.
What happens to me,
happens to you,
and the other way around.

Are you gonna tell me
that Don did it?
This is serious Caroline.
I'm really scared.
I swear to God, I didn't do it.
Maybe this has something
to do with your dad.
Well, sometimes these things,
they--
They can get trapped inside,
even if we don't realize it,
and they can make us explode.
I loved Pitt.
What does this have to do
with Dad?
I don't know, honey.
Don't know.

[teacher] So, in his work,
William Faulkner dissects
a social class in decay.
[yawns]
[tap]
[Caroline sighs]
"We must be free
not because we claim freedom,
but because we practice it."
You haven't told me.
What?
When did you get it?
What the hell are
you talking about?
[teacher] Can anyone define
the word "decay"?
The tattoo.
On your shoulder.
[teacher] Caroline.
Caroline.
Can you tell me
what the word decay means?
Yes, miss.
You are a perfect example.
[giggling]
[bell rings]
-[classical music plays]
-[Mom] Mm-hmm.
[fork clinking]
[Mom] Okay, I'll talk to her.
[sinister music plays]
[Mom] Yeah, I know.
Why are you looking
at me like that, buddy?
-[Mom] Sure.
-[munches]
[Mom]
Okay.
Thanks.
[beep]
[classical music plays]
Did you say Miss Angie
was decaying?
-[giggles]
-[Mom] It's not funny.
Finish your dinner
and go to your room.
You can't tell me what to do.
This is my house.
And you will do
what I tell you to do.

You really can't remember
anything?
[water splashes]
Here, let me wash your back.
[water trickling]
I did not do that to myself,
I swear.
Do what?
The tattoo.
What tattoo?
[eerie music plays]
[water splashes]
[clicking]
[approaching footfalls]
Has she fallen asleep?
Yeah.
She was holding this
in her hand.
Nothing like this has
happened to her before.
[woman 2] A sleepwalking
episode?
It might be temporary.
Yeah. Yeah, I hope so.
I'm glad it was you
that found her.
[woman 2] I thought
you quit smoking.
I'm not as strong as you are.
What did Don's therapist say?
[sobs]
[sighs]
[chair scrapes]
[sobs]
Oh.
[gasping]
[insects chirping in background]
I should go.

Anything the matter Caroline?
Yes, miss.
This vile swine is bothering me.
Don't you think
she deserves to die for that?
Of course.
She's nothing
but a vile lump of fat.
Thank you, miss.
-[screams]
-[stabbing]
[Miss Angie]
Okay, time's up.
[retches]
Caroline!
Where do you think you're go--

[]
My tattoo moves.
I think
I have a demon inside of me.
I don't see any open soars
or green vomit.
[Caroline] Father.
Hail purest Mary.
Hail purest Mary.
I don't know what to say,
Father.
I'm not a believer.
I need your help, Father.
I think something's inside me.
What did you come here
searching for?
An exorcism, Father.
Have you seen one in a movie?
[Caroline] Of course.
Movies are fake, my child.
Demons don't possess people.
I know the church
carries out exorcisms.
You need proof.
You need a lot of evidence
for the church to involve itself
in an exorcism.
Go on, child.
Go home.
[church bell ringing]
[sinister music intensifies]
[Caroline] Is this proof?
[urine splashing]
[coughs]

[dog barking in distance]
[bag rustling]
[Mom]
Be careful.
[woman 3 speaks indistinctly]
[Caroline] You don't get it.
[indistinct speech]
[woman 3] Listen,
it's going to be fine.
[Caroline] Just let me go.
[woman 3] Let me do the talking.
It's gonna be fine.
[dog barking in distance]
What's going on?
[dog barking in distance]
I'm very sorry, sister...
Esperanza.
Caroline's father just died
and I...
Was the incident
at the church very serious?
What do you think?
I'm sorry.
We're not religious.
What can I do?
Cup of tea would be nice.
Of course.

[Esperanza] No, get him out.
Go!

-Caroline.
-[grunts]
-[Caroline gasping]
[demonic voice] Let go of me,
nun!
[exhales]
[bones cracking,
labored demonic gasping]
[demonic voice] It's hard
to control a new body.
Who are you?
[demonic grunt]
[thud]
[wind howling,
paper fluttering]
[sighs]
[labored demonic gasping]
Is than an answer
or a show of power?
[demonic voice] It's both.
Don't dig too deep, nun.
You might not like
what you find.
I have seen many things
in my life that I didn't like.
[bones cracking]
[demonic grunt]
[demonic voice]
Yeah, you have.
You should not get involved
in what does not concern you.
[thump]
Caroline.
Caroline!
[dark melancholic music plays]
It's never gonna leave.
[cigarette hisses]
[approaching footfalls]
[breathing heavily]
Mrs. Cobbler, how long
has this been going on for?
Uh, what-- w-- what do you mean?
I...
[takes a deep breath]
Does that matter? I-- I...
I don't know what happened.
Or whether this can be
classified as a possession.
Okay, but-- but you can
perform exorcisms, right?
I'm only a nun.
[sobs]
But you could ask the priest?
Father Robert is battling
his own demon.
He has cancer.
Please.
[Mom sobs]
[approaching footfalls]
At least this time
I didn't shit myself.
That might be a good sign.
[Caroline] Not entirely.
Means it's starting to control
my body when it enters it.
How do you know that?
Because just like it's starting
to know me,
I'm starting to get to know it.
[notification chimes,
phone buzzes]
[Mom] Who are you chatting with?
Marnie.
[notification chimes]
-What's so funny?
-[Caroline chuckles]
[Caroline] Nothing.
-[phone keys clicking]
I don't like you
keeping secrets.
You keep secrets, too.
[Mom] Like what?
May is your girlfriend.
-[notification chimes]
-Silly.
May is not my girlfriend.
She's my friend.
-Right.
-[notification chimes]
[Mom] I loved your father,
Carol.
Remember when Dad was healthy?
We were so happy.
We'll be happy again soon.
I promise.
You make promises you
don't really keep.
[phone keys clicking]
Father Robert?
[suspenseful music plays]
Father?
Father?
[man 1] Well, the church
practices exorcisms
and is ashamed of them.
I'm not.
[woman 4] Um, some people
say that you are a trickster.
[man 1] Well, they can call me
what they want.
Uh, but I feel forces
from another world.
You call them demons,
malignant spirits,
negative energy.
They exist, and I can
free people from them.
I'm not a healer or
a medium or a seer.
I'm just a human container
for spiritual shit.

Take me home.
We can't go home yet, sweetie.
[Mom sighs]
[Mom] Carol, what you did?
I wasn't trying to
kill myself, Mom.
I'm trying to stay alive.
[kids chattering in distance]
Pitt is...
He's not here anymore.
But you know what?
That's okay,
because he went with his mother.
Cats have mothers, too,
you know?
[kettle whistling in background]
Come on,
I want you to eat something.
Eat a little bit.

[Mom] Sister Esperanza?
[indistinct background chatter]
Is it Father Robert?
He's getting worse.
[Mom] Sorry.
Hi, Caroline.
Jules, um, I'll try to speak
with the Bishop.
But I can't promise you
anything.
Thank you.
I don't know what else to do.
[indistinct background chatter]
[Esperanza] It saved me
when I was in trouble.
Thanks.
Let's go.
[indistinct background chatter]
[car engine whirring]
I'm gonna fight it, Mom.
Whatever it takes.
I'm with you, Carol.
We'll fight this together.
[car honks, tires screech]
[car honking]
Do you want me
to end up like Dad?
[man 2] Your duty
is to assist Father Robert.
I know.
And I have performed my duties.
But you have to send someone
to help this girl.
I'm begging you.
Didn't you tell me that this
family does not profess
to the Catholic faith?
Protestant?
Jewish?
No.
They don't believe in anything.
I forbid you to have any further
contact with this family.
Hmm?
Limit yourself
to your assigned duties
and that is all.
Are we clear on that sister?
Completely, monsignor.
[bishop] Good.
[sinister music plays]
[Jules] Caroline,
come down here.
Come down here right now.
[footfalls]
Did you call this man?
[footfalls]
I'm sorry, professor.
I just don't quite trust
these kinds of practices.
Excuse me.
May I?
[sinister music plays]
That's an evil entity, no
doubt.
And powerful.
Though it only takes possession
sporadically.
It tries to inflict harm,
but it hasn't.
Yet.
Your daughter is very strong,
Mrs. Cobbler.
She is managing to contain it
some way.
And can you make it go away?
I can't.
Nobody can.
But I can transfer it
to my body.
Take it with me.
That easy?
Just a simple transfer.
A transplant.
[Jules] How?
Laying of hands, focus, energy.
This thing inside of Caroline
will only become more powerful.
And one day she will not
be able to contain it.
Relax, Caroline.
Close your eyes.
Tell me about a place
where you felt happy.
When I went fishing.
With my dad.
Imagine you are under the water,
by yourself, nobody else.
And the water is warm.
[dark a cappella music plays]
Very warm.
And you feel
completely comfortable.
Suddenly, you see a beautiful
brightly-colored fish
swim towards you.
Red, yellow, green.
Can you see it?
Yes.
[professor] It's looking at you,
and you're looking at it.
[]
The fish flutters its fins
softly
and moves to the left.
You follow it with your eyes.
You start swimming after it.
Go after it, Caroline.
Follow it.
Its body.
Is like your body.
And you are a beautiful
brightly-colored fish.

Does that hurt?
Nope.
These will heal in a few weeks.
It'll be like nothing happened.
I said a prayer to your father.
Huh?
I asked him to look after us
no matter where he is.
I'm being possessed by a demon
and your plan
is to ask Dad to help us.
You have a better idea?
These will heal in a few weeks.
Now you're repeating things,
Mom.
Sorry, I hadn't noticed.
[doorbell rings]
One second.
[receding footfalls]

[Marnie] It looks exactly

-Join 'em.
-[dark a cappella music plays]
[spray hissing]
Whoa.
[]
[Marnie] Wha--
What are you doing?
[rabbit squeals]
[]
Oh, Dark Lord, hear our prayer!
I summon you!
We offer you this sacrifice
so that whatever
entity is inside me
may be banished forever!
[]
[schwing]
What are you gonna do with that?
It won't let me do it.
Cut it across its stomach
so itbleeds faster.
What? No.
Come on, it won't feel a thing.
I don't want to play this
anymore.
This is not a game, Marnie.
This is serious.
[knife clatters]
What the hell, Marnie?
I thought what happened to me,
happened to you.
Yeah, but this is fucked up.
[Caroline] Give me the rabbit.

[Caroline] The day
this all started,
I went up the water tower.
How come you can walk
into a church
if you have a demon
inside of you?
[dark a cappella music plays]
You tell me.
I don't understand how you can
adore something that much
and have it crucified?
I don't understand that myself
sometimes.
Will you help me?
I have to stay
with Father Robert.
[]
If something happens to me,
it's your fault.
[]
[insects chirping in background]
I searched for you everywhere.
[Caroline] I came home, okay?
You know I was worried sick.
[Caroline] I was with Marnie.
Don't lie to me.

You're the one that looks
like a demon.
I'll get rid of you.
[demonic voice] No.
I'll stay forever.
Stop fighting
and surrender yourself.
Do you wanna end up dead?
I'd rather.
It's either you or me.
[speaking in unison]
I'll be able to contain you.
For how long?
I'm getting stronger.
I'm not gonna let you
hurt people.
I'll keep on fighting
as I have until now.
I know you fear me.
You just hide it.
Why are you doing this?

Caroline, what have you done?
There's something wrong

What are you gonna do about it?
What's a nun supposed to do?
The same thing a priest would do
if he could.
[]
[Esperanza] You need
to clean yourself
before someone sees you.
[Caroline] Aah!
[physician 1] Good.
[physician 1] Well, I could
give you some prescriptions,
but I'm impressed.
-She's doin' a lot much better.
-[glove snapping]
So, can we go home?
[physician 1] Can we
talk outside, please?
[Jules] I'll be right back.

Here, Call Dr. Niang.

Please.

Hi, Caroline.
How do you feel?
What do you care?
You're not my mom?
Caroline!
Sorry, May.
This has all just been
a little bit too much for her.
-It's okay.
-[door shuts in background]
I just wish there was
more I could do to help.
Oh, you have been more
help than you could ever know.
Jules, about the other night--
[Jules] May...
-[stool scrapes]
It's not that I don't
feel something.
Believe me I-- I do.
It's just--
just give me some time.

Can I place this on your chest?
Someone told you how to do this?
I saw it on the internet.

In the name of the Father,

leave this body you occupy!
It is Jesus himself
who commands you
leave this body forever!
It's not working.
No.
It isn't.
[sighs]
[Esperanza] How should I go
about it, Caroline?
You have to speak to him,
not to me.
We'll have to wait
until he appears.
[sinister music begins]
I can do it.
I can make him appear.
I just can't contain him.
[]
Stay there.
Caroline, put that down.
[Esperanza] No.
I'm safe.
Caroline!
No!

Caroline, I really--
[demonic voice] My name
is not Caroline.
Sit down nun!
-[groans]
-[thud]
[sighs]
[demonic laughter]
What should I call to you?
[demonic voice] I have
many names.
Too many.
What does that symbol
mean to you?
[demonic voice] The logo of
a multinational corporation.
A refuge for the ignorant.
A Talisman that's lost all power
and meaning.
A depiction of human drivel.
A useless sacrifice.
Want me to keep going?
[necklace clinking]
All those things may be true.
Except for the last one.
[demonic voice] Many atrocities
have been committed
in the name of that cross.
Mankind hasn't always
understood its implicit message.
[demonic voice] You know it
better than anyone, nun.
[demonic guttural breath]
What do you mean?
[demonic voice] Show me
your scars.
Come on, nun.
I want to know who you are.
-[sighs]
-[demonic guttural breathing]
[demonic voice] A man of God
did that to you?
He wasn't a man of God.
He dressed like one.
And now he is in hell.
[demonic voice] It is not wise
for humankind to become familiar
with the forces
that influence their free will.
It isn't wise for anything
to interfere
with the free will
that God granted us.
[demonic voice] That book
is full of interferences
with human free will.
[Esperanza] Have you read it?
[demonic voice] I'm in it.
[demonic guttural breath]
[gulps]
Talk to me, Don.
[foreboding music plays]
-[Esperanza speaking Latin]
-[speaking Latin]
[shouts in Latin]
[demonic voice] Amen.

Who are you?
The question is,
who is Caroline?
[demonic guttural breathing]
You're hurting her.
[demonic voice] Am I?
[demonic guttural breathing]
[bones cracking]
[sighs]
Caroline?
Caroline?
[patting]
What happened?
[brooding music plays]
I don't think my prayers
are working.
What?
[Esperanza] I have a feeling
he's not trying to hurt you.
In some way, it's almost
like he's trying to protect you.
So, you can't get him out.
[Esperanza] I'm afraid I can't.
Sorry.

Hail purest Mary.
Hail purest Mary.
I don't know what to say,
Father.
I'm not a believer.
I need your help, Father.
I think something's inside me.
What did you come here
searching for?
An exorcism, Father.
Have you seen one in a movie?
[Caroline] Of course.
Movies are fake, my child.
Demons don't possess people.
I know the church
carries out exorcisms.
You need proof.
You need a lot of evidence
for the church to involve itself
in an exorcism.
Go on, child.

I don't know what happened.
Or whether this can be
classified as a possession.
Okay, but-- but you can
perform exorcisms, right?
I'm only a nun.

But you could ask the priest?
Father Robert is battling
his own demon.
He has cancer.
Please.
[Mom sobs]
[approaching footfalls]
At least this time
I didn't shit myself.
That might be a good sign.
[Caroline] Not entirely.
Means it's starting to control
my body when it enters it.
How do you know that?
Because just like it's starting

[man 1] Well, the church

I'm not.
[woman 4] Um, some people
say that you are a trickster.
[man 1] Well, they can call me
what they want.
Uh, but I feel forces
from another world.
You call them demons,
malignant spirits,
negative energy.
They exist, and I can
free people from them.
I'm not a healer or

I'm just a human container

[man 2] Your duty

I know.
And I have performed my duties.
But you have to send someone
to help this girl.
I'm begging you.
Didn't you tell me that this
family does not profess
to the Catholic faith?
Protestant?
Jewish?
No.
They don't believe in anything.
I forbid you to have any further
contact with this family.
Hmm?
Limit yourself
to your assigned duties
and that is all.
Are we clear on that sister?
Completely, monsignor.
[bishop] Good.
[sinister music plays]
[Jules] Caroline,
come down here.
Come down here right now.
[footfalls]
Did you call this man?
[footfalls]
I'm sorry, professor.
I just don't quite trust
these kinds of practices.
Excuse me.
May I?
[sinister music plays]
That's an evil entity, no
doubt.
And powerful.
Though it only takes possession
sporadically.
It tries to inflict harm,
but it hasn't.
Yet.
Your daughter is very strong,
Mrs. Cobbler.
She is managing to contain it
some way.
And can you make it go away?
I can't.
Nobody can.
But I can transfer it
to my body.
Take it with me.
That easy?
Just a simple transfer.
A transplant.
[Jules] How?
Laying of hands, focus, energy.
This thing inside of Caroline
will only become more powerful.
And one day she will not
be able to contain it.
Relax, Caroline.
Close your eyes.
Tell me about a place
where you felt happy.
When I went fishing.
With my dad.
Imagine you are under the water,
by yourself, nobody else.
And the water is warm.
[dark a cappella music plays]
Very warm.
And you feel
completely comfortable.
Suddenly, you see a beautiful
brightly-colored fish
swim towards you.
Red, yellow, green.
Can you see it?
Yes.
[professor] It's looking at you,
and you're looking at it.
[]
The fish flutters its fins
softly
and moves to the left.
You follow it with your eyes.
You start swimming after it.
Go after it, Caroline.
Follow it.
Its body.
Is like your body.
And you are a beautiful
brightly-colored fish.

[Caroline] The day
this all started,
I went up the water tower.
How come you can walk
into a church
if you have a demon
inside of you?
[dark a cappella music plays]
You tell me.
I don't understand how you can
adore something that much
and have it crucified?
I don't understand that myself
sometimes.
Will you help me?
I have to stay
with Father Robert.
[]
If something happens to me,
it's your fault.
[]
[insects chirping in background]
I searched for you everywhere.
[Caroline] I came home, okay?
You know I was worried sick.
[Caroline] I was with Marnie.
Don't lie to me.
-[foreboding music plays]
-[Caroline] I'm not lying.
[slap]
[]
-[knocking on door]
-[Jules] Caroline, I'm sorry.
Leave me alone.
[Jules] Come on up here
so we can talk.
I want to be alone!
[water dripping in background]
[foreboding music plays]
[spray hissing]
[coughing]
[spray hissing]
[Caroline coughing]
[Jules] Caroline?
[Caroline gasping]
[quick approaching footfalls]
[Jules] Caroline.

[blanket shuffling,

[door lock clicks]
[suspenseful music plays]
[door creaks and shuts]
[switch clicks]
I'm not scared of you, demon.
[demonic voice] Look
at yourself, Caroline.
You're the one that looks
like a demon.
I'll get rid of you.
[demonic voice] No.
I'll stay forever.
Stop fighting
and surrender yourself.
Do you wanna end up dead?
I'd rather.
It's either you or me.
[speaking in unison]
I'll be able to contain you.
For how long?
I'm getting stronger.
I'm not gonna let you
hurt people.
I'll keep on fighting
as I have until now.
I know you fear me.
You just hide it.
Why are you doing this?
-[demonic voice] Because...
-[mirror cracking]
[demonic voice] This is
what I am.
[alert tone chimes on PA system]
[suspenseful music plays]
[door creaks]
[demonic guttural breathing]
Esperanza.
Have you come for me?
I'm dying.
[demonic voice] Aren't you
gonna pray, priest?
I've prayed
enough in my life time.
[elevator bell chimes]
Do what you came here to do.
-[demonic inhale]
-[Robert groaning]
[Robert choking]
[monitor beeping]
[sighing]
[sinister music palsy]
Caroline, what have you done?
There's something wrong
inside of you.
What are you gonna do about it?
What's a nun supposed to do?
The same thing a priest would do
if he could.
[]
[Esperanza] You need
to clean yourself
before someone sees you.
[Caroline] Aah!
[physician 1] Good.
[physician 1] Well, I could
give you some prescriptions,
but I'm impressed.
-She's doin' a lot much better.
-[glove snapping]
So, can we go home?
[physician 1] Can we
talk outside, please?
[Jules] I'll be right back.
[indistinct background chatter]
Here, Call Dr. Niang.
She's a great psychiatrist.
Please.
[May] Which way are we gonna go?
Which way are we gonna go?
-[door opens and creaks]
-[May] Crash!
[May laughs]
Hi, Caroline.
How do you feel?
What do you care?
You're not my mom?
Caroline!
Sorry, May.
This has all just been
a little bit too much for her.
-It's okay.
-[door shuts in background]
I just wish there was
more I could do to help.
Oh, you have been more
help than you could ever know.
Jules, about the other night--
[Jules] May...
-[stool scrapes]
It's not that I don't
feel something.
Believe me I-- I do.
It's just--
just give me some time.
That's a lot more
than I hoped to hear.
[birds chirping]
[kids yelling in distance]
[motorcycle engine starts
and whirs]
[water rippling]
[dark music plays]
What do you think of all this?
[takes deep breaths]
Speak up.
Make yourself known.
-[classical music plays]
-[dogs barking in distance]
[door lock clicks]
-[Jules] How's Father Robert?
-[door shuts]
He's in a coma.
[Jules] Sorry.
[indiscernible lyrics]
Are you gonna do it?
[indiscernible lyrics]
[glugging]
[ominous music plays]
Caroline, I'm just a nun.
I can't promise you anything.
I'm just a girl, sister.
I can't promise anything either.
[]
[door shuts]
[chain clinking]
Can I place this on your chest?
Someone told you how to do this?
I saw it on the internet.
[foreboding music pays]
In the name of the Father,
The Son, and the Holy Spirit,
leave this body you occupy!
It is Jesus himself
who commands you
leave this body forever!
It's not working.
No.
It isn't.
[sighs]
[Esperanza] How should I go
about it, Caroline?
You have to speak to him,
not to me.
We'll have to wait
until he appears.
[sinister music begins]
I can do it.
I can make him appear.
I just can't contain him.
[]
Stay there.
Caroline, put that down.
[Esperanza] No.
I'm safe.
Caroline!
No!
-[Caroline gasps]
-[clattering]
[demonic growl]
[thudding]
[demonic growl]
[indistinct demonic whisper]
You saved her life.
What do you want from her?
[demonic voice] You tell me,
nun.
Caroline, I really--
[demonic voice] My name
is not Caroline.
Sit down nun!
-[groans]
-[thud]
[sighs]
[demonic laughter]
What should I call to you?
[demonic voice] I have
many names.
Too many.
What does that symbol
mean to you?
[demonic voice] The logo of
a multinational corporation.
A refuge for the ignorant.
A Talisman that's lost all power
and meaning.
A depiction of human drivel.
A useless sacrifice.
Want me to keep going?
[necklace clinking]
All those things may be true.
Except for the last one.
[demonic voice] Many atrocities
have been committed
in the name of that cross.
Mankind hasn't always
understood its implicit message.
[demonic voice] You know it
better than anyone, nun.
[demonic guttural breath]
What do you mean?
[demonic voice] Show me
your scars.
Come on, nun.
I want to know who you are.
-[sighs]
-[demonic guttural breathing]
[demonic voice] A man of God
did that to you?
He wasn't a man of God.
He dressed like one.
And now he is in hell.
[demonic voice] It is not wise
for humankind to become familiar
with the forces
that influence their free will.
It isn't wise for anything
to interfere
with the free will
that God granted us.
[demonic voice] That book
is full of interferences
with human free will.
[Esperanza] Have you read it?
[demonic voice] I'm in it.
[demonic guttural breath]
[gulps]
Talk to me, Don.
[foreboding music plays]
-[Esperanza speaking Latin]
-[speaking Latin]
[shouts in Latin]
[demonic voice] Amen.
Your prayers only strengthen me.
Who are you?
The question is,
who is Caroline?
[demonic guttural breathing]
You're hurting her.
[demonic voice] Am I?
[demonic guttural breathing]
[bones cracking]
[sighs]
Caroline?
Caroline?
[patting]
What happened?
[brooding music plays]
I don't think my prayers
are working.
What?
[Esperanza] I have a feeling
he's not trying to hurt you.
In some way, it's almost
like he's trying to protect you.
So, you can't get him out.
[Esperanza] I'm afraid I can't.
Sorry.

[Esperanza] Caroline,
where are you going?
-Stop!

Come on. Come on.
[Esperanza sobs]
Come on. Don't do this to me.
[coughing]
[Esperanza] Come on.
[gasping, panting]
-[thud]
-[ominous music begins]
[panting]
Is it gone?
There's only one way
to find out.
[screams]
[body thuds]
[ominous music intensifies]
[thudding]
[clouds rumbling in distance]
Caroline.
Don?
C-- Caroline killed Dad.
-[sinister music plays]
-[Jules] What are you saying?
She pushed him.
[sobs]
Your father loved you!
But he hated you.
[metal rod rattles]
You made him crash.
You're just as responsible
for his death.
Don't say that.

[birds chirping]
[clock ticking in background]
Pretty day. Right, Mom?
We're off to school.
I'm gonna study a lot
so you can be proud of me.
[traffic whooshes
and vehicle honks]
[physician 2]
There is no sign of the tumor.
[physician 2]
Not a single trace.
I don't understand, Father.
I'm a miracle, doctor.
