00:00:48,139 --> 00:00:53,THE EVENTS DEPICTED WERE TRANSCRIBED BY FATHER JOSEPH STEIGER.

00:00:53,246 --> 00:01:03,THE STORY REPRESENTS THE MOST THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED CASE OF DEMONIC POSSESSION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

00:02:20,369 --> 00:02:26,NINE DAYS EARLIER.

00:03:04,254 --> 00:03:05,Brethren

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,He strengthened in the Lord and in the might of his power put on the armor of God that you might withstand the devil,

00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:21,take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:36,As some of you may be aware, my brother passed away this week,

00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:46,I wanted to thank all of you who have been so kind as to send cards and flowers and even food.

00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:48,It's greatly appreciated.

00:03:59,130 --> 00:04:00,I'm proud to work for you, Father.

00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:03,God bless you, your brother, your whole family.

00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:04,Thank you, Joseph.

00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,Good morning, Sister.

00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:17,Good morning.

00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:26,Sister, would you speak with Mother Superior about the...

00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,There is more in the common room.

00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,Would you have a moment?

00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,Maybe I will.

00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:52,Your Excellency.

00:04:53,730 --> 00:04:53,Ah.

00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:58,How are you getting on?

00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:04,Ah, well, yes.

00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:25,Is this another transfer?

00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:27,No.

00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,These are psychiatric reports.

00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:33,This is a very troubled woman.

00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,Yes, that's the problem.

00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:38,They haven't found anything abnormal.

00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,The doctors, I mean.

00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,Well, there must be something.

00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,Hissing at the side of the church, that's...

00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,How did this come to you?

00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:53,They've exhausted all of the medical, biological theories.

00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:59,The woman's parish wishes to attempt a solemn sacrament.

00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:01,A solemn sacrament?

00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,You mean an exorcism?

00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,And you would like me to perform it?

00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:09,No.

00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,Some poor other soul already has that distinction.

00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,Ah.

00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,And who is that?

00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,Theophilus Reisinger.

00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,Capuchin from up north, I believe.

00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:24,Forgive me, Your Excellency, but if the Capuchin has already been assigned, why bring this to me?

00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,Well, they'd like to carry out the deed here.

00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,Here?

00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,Your Excellency, if this woman has seen psychiatrists, then she's...

00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,Clearly, there must be treatment more beneficial to her than an exorcism.

00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,There are many new remedies for mental disorders.

00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:54,It's all been finalized.

00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:59,Her address, number of the transport, it's right there in the file.

00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:02,They are expecting your call.

00:07:06,670 --> 00:07:11,I understand that this is most unusual, Father, but the woman is desperate.

00:07:12,510 --> 00:07:16,She's tried everything else, but she's been suffering for years, apparently.

00:07:17,650 --> 00:07:19,We'll speak with the Reverend Mother tomorrow.

00:07:19,450 --> 00:07:20,Everyone else.

00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,Yes, your manager of operations, please.

00:07:58,660 --> 00:07:59,Thank you.

00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:11,Yes, hello, my name is Father Joseph Steiger.

00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:14,I'm calling from St. Joseph's Church in Erling.

00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,We have a passenger who needs transporting from our home in Marathon.

00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,Do you have service from Marathon?

00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,Good.

00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:26,What's her name?

00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,Her name is Emma Schmidt.

00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:42,Ms. Schmidt has a very sensitive condition that any unwanted influence could disrupt.

00:08:42,750 --> 00:08:47,So, she will need a private car, just her and the driver.

00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:51,And I would appreciate your discretion.

00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:03,Yes, St. Joseph's Church on Olive Street in Erling.

00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,Members of our church will be here to greet her.

00:09:47,090 --> 00:09:47,She's asleep.

00:09:48,950 --> 00:09:50,We'll bring her food when she's awake.

00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:51,Thank you, sister.

00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:54,Mr. Fetcher, this is Father Theophilus.

00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:21,Oh, are you Father Steiger?

00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:21,Yes.

00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:23,Father Theophilus?

00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:24,Yes.

00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:26,Oh, I was just on my way to the station to meet you.

00:10:27,150 --> 00:10:30,Oh, well, I was waiting and then...

00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:32,I'm so sorry, I wasn't going to greet you.

00:10:32,350 --> 00:10:32,No, no.

00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:33,I was detained.

00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:35,It's no surprise.

00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:40,The devil will do whatever it takes to foil our plans, and we must be ready.

00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,Father Theophilus.

00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,Reverend Martha.

00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:06,Welcome.

00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:07,Thank you.

00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:08,Come in, please.

00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:11,Have a seat.

00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,So, I've been reading Emma's files.

00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:19,Yes.

00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,Some very concerning behavior.

00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:28,And I ** not entirely convinced that the problem isn't psychological.

00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,Well, the task will be handled with as little disruption as possible.

00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,And I thank you, Reverend Martha, for allowing us such a safe space to treat the afflicted.

00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:42,Thank you.

00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:53,What I need is a team of three, in the room, to assist with restraints, transitions, shorthand.

00:11:53,900 --> 00:12:01,Father Steiger will be taking notes, keeping an accurate chronology of manifestations and evidences.

00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:08,We will start each evening at sundown and continue until a pause is needed.

00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,At my discretion.

00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,I'm sorry.

00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:12,Sister.

00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:15,She...

00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,She won't eat.

00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,What's happened, Sister?

00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,What?

00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:19,She won't eat.

00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,I just went in her room to give her her food, and then she ate.

00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,And she reacted violently.

00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:32,She almost hissed like a cat.

00:12:33,860 --> 00:12:35,I've never heard anything like it.

00:12:35,660 --> 00:12:36,I just...

00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:36,I don't know.

00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,I don't know how.

00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,Has the food been blessed?

00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:42,I don't...

00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:43,I don't know.

00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,Bring this to the kitchen.

00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,Have Sister Antonella prepare it.

00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:50,Maybe it's the rice and beans from the giveaway.

00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,And tell her not to bless the food.

00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:03,Thank you, Sister.

00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:24,Good evening, Ella.

00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:30,I'm Father Steiger.

00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:33,I'm the parish priest here at St. Joseph's.

00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:34,You'll be seeing quite a bit of me.

00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:38,You're very welcome here.

00:13:40,650 --> 00:13:41,Nice to meet you.

00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:53,Is it your letters?

00:13:57,510 --> 00:13:58,They're...

00:13:59,570 --> 00:14:00,To my mother.

00:14:01,870 --> 00:14:02,You don't see her often?

00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:05,No, she...

00:14:05,490...
