The Exorcist

There's something inside my house.

And it's trying to take my daughter.

You know what's going on here, right?

I liked my friend's stupid Wiccan craft store on Facebook.

- She's very worried about you. She's losing her mind.

- (wall rattling) - Mom?

Hey, hon.

How's the boat, Henry?

The boat.

- Did you fix it up? - You're wasting your time.

- He's basically a potato. Kat!

Since when do you have Jessica writing you letters?

- Why are you even talking to her? - She's my friend.

She's married.

Gabriel?

Please, God. Please, God.

Oh, God.

The church has places for those who would disobey a direct order.

You putting me out to pasture, Bennett?

If my hand is forced.

Father Marcus,

what can you tell me about demonic possession?

Go home, Father Tomas.

Live a long and happy life.

You're way out of your depth.

Katherine?

Casey?

- (grunting) - Father?

Hey, Mom.

You have no family.

No future to speak of.

The world don't know who you are and doesn't care.

Today, we find out if any of you lads are something more.

I-I'm sorry, Father Sean.

You.

: Lupus in fabula, venit enim ad me.

Lupus in fabula, venit enim ad me.

"Ask and it will be given to you.

- "Seek and you will find. - (growling)

"Resist the Devil,

"and he will run away from you.

The nearer you go to God, the nearer He will come to you."

Stop coming up.

Harrison Street.

Downtown Chicago.

: So...

fresh.

Casey?

So wonderfully...

...supple.

Casey?

Baby?

She's watching you, you know.

Your lying, sneaking mother.

She's right beside you.

So it's time that you wake...

...wake up!

Casey?

: Mom?

Is the girl aware of the changes in herself?

I sat down with Casey after what happened in the attic last week.

She doesn't remember.

How about the family? What do they think?

The mother, she's very concerned.

She came to me for help.

The father and sister, they don't know.

The father is recovering from a brain injury.

It's a bad time.

I told the mother to gather evidence.

Today she sent me this.

A video of the girl talking to herself.

: She's watching you, you know.

Your lying...

This is the kind of proof we'll need for approval.

Approval for what?

An exorcism.

We dropped you in a dying parish,

and you made good.

You have something...

an approachability and that thick head of hair of yours.

This Homeless to Houses program you started is marvelous.

We should replicate it in every parish.

- This-this girl, this family... - You've been noticed.

You've been noticed, Tomas.

His Holiness' visit is a month away,

and you're on the welcoming committee.

It's a big month for the diocese, it's a big month for you.

You keep your energy on the job.

- This is part of my job. - No, it isn't.

All this video proves to me is that this poor girl needs a psychiatrist.

The attic was real.

Tomas.

Hmm?

I hear you paid a visit to Saint Aquinas the other day.

One of their priests has gone missing.

A Father Marcus.

You-you haven't seen him, have you?

Maria Walters.

Angela Rance.

Good to see you.

Well, and you. How are you?

I'm well.

Oh, love the bag.

- Its maiden voyage. - Ah.

Sad we missed you at the planning committee.

A family issue, was it?

Oh, my daughters... daughter.

It's working itself out. Thank you for asking.

How is Mr. Walters?

George is a tough son of bitch.

- So is cancer. So it goes. - Yeah.

Well, I have seen the place about a dozen times,

but let's make it official.

Right.

You brought the Pope.

I brought the Pope.

Well, the Second City First Committee did.

Your committee.

George Senior's committee,

but I am doing my best in his absence.

I have to think your family's contributions to the Church didn't hurt.

Rome loves a cheerful giver.

Well, uh,

we would be honored to host His Holiness.

Pope Sebastian doesn't sleep in beds.

He has a bedroll he puts on the floor.

Poverty, humility, be nicer to the gays.

Sebastian's gonna sleep in an undisclosed location.

Do need a place for a papal entourage.

- Absolu... - (phone chimes)

- And it is a... - Sorry.

...a big, very tightly-wound group.

Security is critical.

Uh... thank you.

I'll be in touch.

Casey? Hello?

Casey?

Casey?

Casey?

Kat?

Henry?

- Casey? Did you...

- did you save any of that for me? No.

- You drank that whole thing? - Yeah, it's mine.

Casey.

Where were you?

Um... out?

Look who else we got to come out of the house.

Yeah. All it took was the promise of ice cream.

Thought you were at work, Mom.

I was. Did you call me?

No.

Oh! Aah!

Oh, I'm never sleeping on that pillow again.

It's just a little bug.

I'm gonna call the bug man.
