The Grind

Julia, Mother of 

The Possessed :

Oh, my God…..

[CRYING] [SHUSHING] 

What do we do? 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

Coffee. Uh, the demons, they 

grow more strong in the night. 

I'm going to need my energy. 

But you should try to get some rest. 

[PRAYING IN LATIN] Amen. 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

How long will this take? 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

That is hard to say. 

Hours. Days, maybe. 

This Demon is very strong. 

The Boy won't last long. 

What we need to do is to find out 

its name in order to exorcise it. 

That is the only way 

we can save The Boy. 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

How do we do that? 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

With prayer. 

Constant prayer. 

The Demons, they 

are self-preserving. 

They do not understand suffering. 

Eventually, He will give himself up because 

he cannot stand the pain of the prayer. 

You understand me? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Yes. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

Good. Good. Now, you must 

confess your sins. 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Now? 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

The Demon can smell your sins 

if they are not absolved. Come. 

[SPEAKS ITALIAN] We begin. 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

[SIGHS] Forgive me, Father, 

for I have sinned. 

It has been, uh... eight months 

since my last confession... 

[IN SPANISH] 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

Did you just say eight months 

since your last confession? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Yes. I... 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

Okay, we just have to get this done. 

Y-You are a Man of God, 

simple enough. Si? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Yes. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

And you are very, very sorry 

for all of your sins. Si? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Yes. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

Okay. May Almighty God have mercy 

on you and having forgiven your sins, 

lead you to eternal peace. Amen.

[CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER] 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

What rites of 

The Exorcism 

do you know? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Uh... none. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

None? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

It has never come up….

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

What prayer do you know that you could 

say over and over, even under pressure? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

The Hail Mary. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

[Mutters in ITALIAN] 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

But if it is under pressure, 

I would prefer to say it 

in Spanish. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

That's fine. Your Job is to pray. 

Do not engage with The Demon. 

Do not respond to anything it says or does. 

Your job is to be implacable. 

Relentless. Okay? [PATS ARM] 

Good boy. [CHUCKLES] 

Do you know any jokes? 

Fr. Tomas Esquibel, 

Parish Priest :

Uh, no. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, 

Exorcist-General :

You should learn some. 

The Devil does not like jokes. 

[AMORTH CHUCKLES] 

Bring The Box. 

[IN ITALIAN] 

DEMON: 

I see you've brought your friend. 

He looks a little scared, Gabe. 

Mind if I call you Gabe, Gabe? 

Readying for Battle? 

You ran out on me last time, 

like The Coward you are, Soldier-boy. 

Not very becoming of The Chief Exorcist. 

Fr. Gabriel Amorth,

Exorcist-General :

So, who do you want to 

be vanquished by, today :

Jesus or His Mother?
