[noticing that Maria
looks like she's sleeping] Isabella Rossi: Is
she alright? Father David Keane: Yeah.
She's sleeping. Father Ben Rawlings: It's
the first time I've seen a possessed person fall asleep when confronted
by a priest and holy water. Isabella Rossi: What
does that mean?
I don't know. I think, wel, you might be wasting your time. Isabella Rossi: I'm
going to do everything I can to help her. Father David Keane: This...this
isn't consistent with any form of possession that I've ever
seen. I'm sorry, Isabella. [suddenly Maria screams] Father David Keane: Her
pupils are almost fully dilated!
[Ben and David begin
their exorcism rites, Maria reacts violently and
yells] Father Ben Rawlings: Christ
have mercy. Father David Keane: Christ
have mercy. Father Ben Rawlings: Christ
hear us. Father David Keane: Christ
hear us. [Ben holds up her cross
over her] Father Ben Rawlings: In
God, the father. [Maria looks up at
Isabella standing behind Ben] Maria Rossi: I
know you! I know you, little girl! [Ben and David continue
saying the exorcism rites]
[as Ben and David try to
perform the exorcism, David is knocked to the floor, Ben gets
closer to Maria and suddenly she looks at
him, telling him something about his past] Father Ben Rawlings: Oh,
you can't get back in your God's good graces, priest. Not after what
you did. [Maria's voice sounds
like it's possessed by several demons] Maria Rossi: [subtitled]
...inaudible... [Ben looks shocked,
suddenly Maria breaks free from her gurney, and the camera
falls as they try to restrain her again]
[as they restrain Maria
back on the gurney] Father Ben Rawlings: Show
your name, coward! [Maria throws Ben
against the wall] Maria Rossi: Come
that close to me one more time and I'll use your tongue to skull fuck
the baby killer over there! [suddenly Maria starts
singing nursery rhyme, Itsy Bitsy Spider] Maria Rossi: The
itsy, bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain, and
washed the spider out. Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain, and
the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again. [Isabella seems
transfixed by this and starts singing the rhyme with Maria] Father Ben Rawlings: Isabella,
don't listen to her. It's not your mother. [Isabella, still
transfixed, moves closer to Maria] Father Ben Rawlings: Isabella!
This is not your mother! [Maria is still looking
at Isabella] Maria Rossi: You
know the words. Father David Keane: Isabella,
snap out of it! [suddenly Isabella snaps
out of it]
[Ben continues doing the
exorcism rites and Maria starts yelling again] Maria Rossi: [subtitled] Your
God wants what it cannot have. Father Ben Rawlings: You
are guilty before our lord, Jesus Christ, whom you dare to nail up on
the cross Father David Keane: Her
pulse is two eighty four, it's way off! [Maria starts screaming
and talking in a high shrieking voice] Father Ben Rawlings: You're
not like the others, demon. Do you hear me, transgressor? Seducer! Maria Rossi: I
hear you, priest. All you fucking do is talk! [Maria spits into Ben's
face]
[Ben and David continue
doing the exorcism rite over Maria who is now very agitated] Isabella Rossi: You're
gonna kill her! Stop! [Isabella rushes over to
her mother and tries to speak to her directly] Isabella Rossi: That's
my mother. Maria Rossi: You'll
burn. Burn, for the child. [Maria becomes calm and
the hospital guards start knocking on the door] Father Ben Rawlings: Maria?
Maria, can you hear us? [David checks her vitals] Father David Keane: Slowly
regaining consciousness. Pupils are returning to normal. [Dr. Costa and the
hospital guards come in to the room and tell them to stop filming]
[December 10, 2009;
Isabella and Ben are watching the video of Maria's exorcism on a laptop] Father Ben Rawlings: This
is preternatural movement, right here. I've seen it before, but I've
never captured it on tape. Isabella Rossi: So
what does that mean? Father Ben Rawlings: It
means we've got everything we could need right here. This is huge,
Isabella. Isabella Rossi: Let's
play it again.
Father Ben Rawlings: Do
two you realize how big this is? We've got the evidence, the Holy See
has to see it. They have to! We can go to the press with this and in an
instant we'd have a thousand people standing out there. Father David Keane: But
our priority right now should be getting her back to the states.
[David talks to
the camera] Father David Keane: The
endorsement of Dr. Costa is vital. After the results that he saw,
there's no way that he can't agree.
[Isabella talks to the
camera] Isabella Rossi: Dr.
Costa doesn't believe that she was possessed or anything, he thinks
that it was an exercise that shocked her system. Anyway, it doesn't
matter what he thinks, because his referral is actually gonna help us
get her back to the states.
[as Ben and
Michael listen to Maria speaking in more than one
voice] Michael
Schaefer: Ben, what's she talking about? Is
she...is she talking about your uncle? [we see Ben is visibly
upset and turns away from the camera]
Father Ben Rawlings: I
found four voices on the recordings. I found four voices on the
recording. Father David
Keane: You found four? Isabella Rossi:
Wait, what does that mean? Father Ben
Rawlings: It means that your uh...the entity in
your mother has disciples. We
call it multiple demonic possession. You might have heard Gallo talking
about it in class. Isabella Rossi: Right,
so it's a powerful demon. Father Ben Rawlings: No,
it's the beast. [David gives Ben a look] Father Ben Rawlings: What? Father David Keane: Do
you know how lucky we are? Father Ben Rawlings: Look,
we're gonna...we're gonna deliver all our findings to the Holy See next
Friday. Father David Keane: Yeah,
maybe. But he hasn't agreed to see us yet. Father Ben Rawlings: Well,
have you told him that the press might be interested in this. [David walks away]
[David is going through
the papers and worries about what the Vatican will do] Father David Keane: Did
Father Gallo call you? Father Ben Rawlings: No.
You? Father David Keane: Yeah,
he called me twice. He said that he wants to help us make the right
decision, he's worried about us. Especially, he's worried about me. Father Ben Rawlings: You?
Why? Father David Keane: About
my job, man! Isabella Rossi: David,
what are you doing with the papers? Are you okay? Do you need... Father David Keane: I'm
fine! I'm fine! The conversation just gave me a little bit... Father Ben Rawlings: David,
he's just trying to scare you, that's all. He's a moral man, he's
toeing
the company line on this one and you know it. [we see drops of blood
falling the paper on the desk] Isabella Rossi: David,
you got something on your.... [David touches his nose
and sees that it's bleeding] Isabella Rossi: You
okay? Father David Keane: Oh,
God! Father Ben Rawlings: Are
you okay? Father David Keane: Yeah.
I'm sorry. I'm fine. [David walks off]
[December 14, 2009;
Isabella walks out of Centrino Hospital looking upset] Isabella Rossi: They
won't release her. Michael Schaefer: What?
Why not? Isabella Rossi: I
don't know. They won't say. They can't or won't believe that she's
better. [she then fusses over
her losing her keys and yells at Michael in frustration]
[talking to the camera] Father David Keane: There's
no way the church can't see this. I can look them in the eye and tell
them that it was the right thing to do.
[talking to the camera] Father Ben Rawlings: This
is what they do! They cover things up, they ignore it. No matter who it
hurts or destroys. Well, not this time. Not this fucking time! [he gets up in anger and
looks away from the camera]
Isabella Rossi: This
is supposed to be about my mother. Not anybody else, not about Ben's
ego or David's job.
[David is looking
nervous and upset as he talks into the camera] Father David Keane: I've
this sinking feeling I'm gonna be excommunicated for all this.
For...what we did.
[Michael is talking to
the camera, also looking agitated] Michael Schaefer: They
have this group of three and I'm like the guy...the annoying guy with
the camera.
Michael Schaefer: If
it weren't for me, no one would know anything about what the hell
they're doing in their church and in their...basements.
[December
15, 2009; Isabella and Ben are looking at the footage of her mother's
exorcism again and they notice that the cameras cut out at the same
time, David walks in looking upset]
Isabella Rossi: David,
you have to see this. Father David Keane: I
have...I have to go. Father Ben Rawlings: David,
you have to see the film. Father David Keane: I
know, I heard you. I have to go. Father Ben Rawlings: What's
the matter? Father David Keane: The
bishop denied our request. Father Ben Rawlings: What?
Well, it's just a bloody meeting. Well, what was the reason? Father David Keane: Um...the
incident's under investigation. [Isabella tries to
comfort David but he pulls away] Father Ben Rawlings: David,
it's gonna be okay. Father David Keane: I
hope so.
[talking to the
camera] Father David Keane: Baptism
is the transferal of sins, of original and personal. For example, if a
baby were to die after being baptized, it would go to heaven. And if
before, uh...it could go to hell. [Michael films
the baptismal ceremony David is performing, and David does
the ritual and takes the baby for the water immersion,
suddenly he
puts the baby in the water and holds it down, as the crowd tries to
save the child David passes out]
[talking to the
camera] Isabella Rossi: Do
you know what I'd like to do? I'd like to take this camera, turn it
around, stick it in Michael's face. I'd like to ask him; what's it
like, Michael? What's it like when your mom's fucked your father's best
friend?
[as Isabella is talking
to the camera, David and Michael return from the baptism, David walks
straight up to his room] Father Ben Rawlings: Michael,
what's wrong with David? What's happened? What's going on? Michael Schaefer: The
kid almost died. Father Ben Rawlings: What?
What happened? What did you say? Michael Schaefer: The
baby he was baptizing, he almost drowned it.
Isabella Rossi: Is
the baby okay? Michael Schaefer: Yeah,
I think so. Isabella Rossi: You
think so? Did you see it? Were you there or not? Michael Schaefer: Yeah,
I think the baby's okay. Yes! Father Ben Rawlings: Is
he in trouble? Michael Schaefer: I
don't know. They called the police, but he just left.
Father Ben Rawlings: He's
been acting strange all day. Did you see it happen? Michael Schaefer: See
it? I filmed it! It was like he lost it! Isabella Rossi: He's
been under a lot of stress lately, so maybe...maybe that contributed to
this...this... Michael Schaefer: I
don't know. You should have been there. It was like he was...he was
crazy! Has anything like this ever happened? Father Ben Rawlings: No,
of course not! [suddenly there is a
loud noise that sounds like a bang and the lights go out] Isabella Rossi: David! Father Ben Rawlings: David? Isabella Rossi: What
the hell's going on? Father Ben Rawlings: Michael,
get the camera, we need the light.
[using
the camera night vision they go upstairs to check on David, as they
walk into his room they see pages of the bible stuck all over the walls] Isabella Rossi: What
the hell is all this? Ben, are those bible pages? Michael Schaefer: Oh,
Jesus! Father Ben Rawlings: David! [as the camera pans the
room they see David in the dark, covered in blood with his
eyes rolled back] Father Ben Rawlings: David!
David! Isabella Rossi: Oh,
my God! Father Ben Rawlings: Get
his arms up! Put them up! Put them up! [David starts mumbling
something] Father Ben Rawlings: Shh!
Shh! What is it? Isabella Rossi: What
do we do? What do we do? Father Ben Rawlings: I
don't know! I don't know! Isabella Rossi: What
do you mean you don't know? [the
camera pans back to where David was sat and they see he's disappeared,
suddenly they hey hear more bangs and run downstairs]
[the
Italian police arrive to arrest David, a policeman goes upstairs, but
David takes his gun from him and emerges from his room] Father Ben Rawlings: David,
listen to me. Put down the gun. Put down the gun, okay? Isabella Rossi: No.
David! Father Ben Rawlings: David,
listen to me. This is Ben, Okay? It's your friend. [suddenly David puts the
gun in his mouth] Isabella Rossi: No!
No! Father Ben Rawlings: Be
quite, Isabella. [Ben walks slowly
towards David] Father Ben Rawlings: Alright,
this isn't you. Listen to my voice, okay? This is your friend, Ben.
This isn't you, something else is taking control of you. You know this.
You know this. Okay? Focus on my voice. You need to trust me, David.
Okay? Stay calm. [David looking scared,
starts to cry] Father David Keane: I
can't stop it! I can't stop it, Ben! I can't stop it. Father Ben Rawlings: You
need to fight it. Just fight it! Fight it, David. Father David Keane: Oh,
God! [he starts saying the
Lords' prayer then stops half way and slowly takes the gun out of his
mouth] Father David Keane: I
forgot it. Father Ben Rawlings: That's
alright. Just give me the gun. Give me the gun.
He says to say thank you. [suddenly David shoots
himself in the mouth and Isabella suddenly collapses into a seizure]
[as Michael and Ben
follow the ambulance carrying Isabella to the hospital] Michael Schaefer: You
saw his eyes, right? [Ben looking upset
doesn't answer]
Michael Schaefer: Ben! Father Ben Rawlings: I
saw! I saw his eyes! Michael Schaefer: Tell
me what's happening? Father Ben Rawlings: I
don't know! Michael Schaefer: You
don't know what's happening, Ben! Father Ben Rawlings: Maybe
it's some transference. Michael Schaefer: Demonic
transference? Father Ben Rawlings: Of
course I mean demonic transference, Michael! Michael Schaefer: Transference,
like...? Father Ben Rawlings: Michael,
please! Just shut the fuck up! Michael Schaefer: Don't
you fucking yell at me, Ben! Father Ben Rawlings: Of
course I'm gonna fucking yell at you! You've been here the whole
fucking time! Have you not listened to anything? Michael Schaefer: Jesus!
[in the hospital] Italian Nurse: She's
doing much better, your friend. She's stable and she's resting, so I
suggest you go. Father Ben Rawlings: Can
we see her? Italian Nurse: She's
gonna be here overnight, so you can see her tomorrow. Father Ben Rawlings: Overnight?
That's not possible. Italian Nurse: Why
is that? Father Ben Rawlings: There-there's
something wrong with her. It's not safe here. Italian Nurse: No,
this is very safe, I assure you. Father Ben Rawlings: There's
something wrong with her we need to get her out of here right now. Italian Nurse: No,
gentlemen... Father Ben Rawlings: Do
you know who Father Robert Gallo is? Italian Nurse: Ah,
Father Gallo! [suddenly
they hear a loud noise and run into Isabella's room, in the
room a nurse is on the floor bleeding heavily from the neck
and
Isabella is being restrained by the doctors and nurses, Ben and Michael
are able to drag Isabella out of the room and pin her to the floor but
she contorts into a weird position, Ben tells the staff he is a priest
and that they need to help the people in the room]
[Ben and Michael take
Isabella out of the hospital and get her back into the car to take her
to Father Gallo] Michael Schaefer: You
really think Gallo is gonna help? Father Ben Rawlings: Yeah,
I need help! I need to fix this [suddenly Isabella
regains consciousness] Father Ben Rawlings: Oh,
shit! Shit! She's waking up! She's waking up! [to Michael] Father Ben Rawlings: Come
on! We haven't go much time! [to Isabella] Father Ben Rawlings: Stay
with me!
Isabella Rossi: Your
uncle told me he was an exorcist. You think you can get back into
God's
good graces, priest. Not after what you did. Michael Schaefer: Ben? Isabella Rossi: You
wanted him to die, didn't you? Michael Schaefer: Ben,
what's she doing? Isabella Rossi: He
says to say thank you. Father Ben Rawlings: Who
are you? Isabella Rossi: You
know me. Everyone knows me. [suddenly
Isabella screams, struggles in the back with Ben and then tries to
strangle Michael as he is driving, but Ben is able to get her off of
him]
[last lines; as Ben
tries says the exorcism rites to try and calm Isabella] Michael Schaefer: Is
she alright? Father Ben Rawlings: I
got her under control, but I don't know for how long! You gotta hurry
up! [suddenly
Michael starts to show signs of being possessed, he unlatches
his
seat belt and begins to accelerate, the car hits another oncoming car
and we see footage of the car rolling and flipping over and then the
camera gets cut off]
[the film ends with the
statement]
