The Containment (La Exorcista)

Why?

Tell me why.

Calm down, Mom.

Jimmy was always good to you.

I didn't do it.

Mom, you have to believe me.

It was the demon inside of me.

Michael, you are the demon.

Why weren't you at school today?

I was my dad's funeral.

How did he die?

He killed himself.

I'm sorry.

He was quadriplegic.

Will you do the science project for me?

Sure, don't worry.

Thanks, Marnie.

You're the best.

My rabbit keeps eating my fucking clothes.

- What's his name? - Rhonda.

Cool.

You wanna see something creepy?

What? Are you scared?

Come on, Marnie.

Shit. It's locked!

Of course, it's locked.

Wasn't always.

It's 'cause it's cursed.

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.

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.

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.

Do you want some ketchup, Don?

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.

Thanks, Carol.

Mom, hand me the ketchup.

See, now Carol asked for the ketchup,

so I'm gonna pass it to her.

Mom?

Morning, Pitt.

You little bastard.

Hey, Don, you wanna watch cartoons?

Don?

Help! Help! Help!

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.

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.

So, in his work, William Faulkner dissects

a social class in decay.

"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?

Can anyone define the word "decay"?

The tattoo. On your shoulder.

Caroline. Caroline.

Can you tell me what the word decay means?

Yes, miss. You are a perfect example.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'll talk to her.

Yeah, I know.

Why are you looking at me like that, buddy?

Sure.

Okay.

Thanks.

Did you say Miss Angie was decaying?

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.

Caroline.

I pooped in my pants, Mom.

You really can't remember anything?

Here, let me wash your back.

I did not do that to myself, I swear.

Do what?

The tattoo.

What tattoo?

Has she fallen asleep?

Yeah.

She was holding this in her hand.

Nothing like this has happened to her before.

A sleepwalking episode?

It might be temporary.

Yeah. Yeah, I hope so.

I'm glad it was you that found her.

I thought you quit smoking.

I'm not as strong as you are.

What did Don's therapist say?

Oh.

I should go.

All done. Hey, nice tattoo.

You should be almost done by now, guys.

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.

Okay, time's up.

Caroline! Where do you think you're go--

What the hell are you?

My tattoo moves.

I think I have a demon inside of me.

I don't see any open soars or green vomit.

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?

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.

Is this proof?

Be careful.

You don't get it.

Listen, it's going to be fine.

Just let me go.

Let me do the talking. It's gonna be fine.

What's going on?

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.

Are you okay?

Don!

What's wrong? What's wrong?

- Okay, get the boy out of here. - But Caroline--

No, get him out. Go!

- Come on. - Caroline.

Let go of me, nun!

It's hard to control a new body.

Who are you?

Is than an answer or a show of power?

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.

Yeah, you have.

You should not get involved in what does not concern you.

Caroline.

Caroline!

It's never gonna leave.

Mrs. Cobbler, how long has this been going on for?

Uh, what-- w-- what do you mean? I...

Does that matter? I-- I...

I don't know what happened.
