Exorcist II Syncing of The Heretic
Nurse Rachet :
The Psychological Effects of Synching
with another mind last a long time.
It's very Powerful.
Did you see what you wanted to see?
Richard Burton :
Evil is Gaining.
Father Merrin was killed.
Nurse Rachet :
By Regan?
She didn't. It did.
It wasn't the mind of a child.
It was Horrible.
Utterly Horrible.
And fascinating.
Nurse Rachet :
We don't know all that much
about synchronized hypnosis yet.
What You Saw could have easily been
a Dream, a Fantasy, a Hallucination.
Not a Memory at all.
Names, just names.
Better to see the face than hear the names.
Nurse Rachet :
I can't have a discussion now.
I have to do my rounds.
Doctor, What I Saw...
Nurse Rachet :
I'm sorry.
It'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Hi, Amy.
Regan did A Picture of You.
Richard Burton :
What's it mean?
It's You.
Richard Burton :
She draws well --
The Flames. Flames.
Doctor. Doctor, The Flames.
They're getting bigger.
We've got to put The Fire out.
Take it easy. It's probably
some post-flashing.
It's an aftereffect of hypnosis.
Richard Burton :
No, You've got to Help Me…
We may be too late.
Where you going?
Richard Burton :
You've got to help me.
Her Picture.
Come on, Father.
Give me a break.
Richard Burton :
No, There's A Fire somewhere.
There is. In The Basement.
I'll get the fire department. okay.
You kids can go on in now. Everything's okay. Go on in now. - Thank You.
You're Welcome.
Thank You.
I got it.
Richard Burton :
Regan's Picture,
The Flames.
She warned Us.
That Contact between Us
came about through
Your Machine.
Whatever it was, it
Saved The Children.
It took A Machine.
The Work You're Doing
is incredible. Miraculous!
The Machine is a Device
to penetrate pathological states.
Richard Burton :
No, You're Talking
about Therapy.
You Don't Realise
The Importance!
As much as I enjoy recognition,
you're overstating it.
Richard Burton :
Don't you understand that
I was face to face
with The Evil in her?
Your Machine has proved
that there's an ancient demon
within her!
We must fight it,
we must help her!
It's all okay now.
You can go on in, all right?
I was trying to help her
before you came along.
Richard Burton :
You must let me synch with Regan!
In that way, you can control things.
Well, I just don't know.
Listen, you can go in now.
It's all clear, okay?
Richard Burton :
I know what concerns you.
That Regan will suddenly remember.
That she'll go into shock.
I believe that Regan already
remembers everything.
The deaths, the possessions, the demons.
She's out there, all alone, trying to deal
with this thing.
All by herself.
Come, Regan. Come, Regan.
We're going flying.
Far, far away.
Oh, good morning, Sharon.
What got you up so early?
The doves woke me.
I guess they were hungry.
I may not be here when you get home. can you let yourself in? - Will you be all right? - Where are you going? - Washington. I'll be back soon. - Washington? Some things your mother didn't do before going on location. oh, okay. wanna fly, babe? There you go, up. I'm grateful to you for coming. Mrs. MacNeil wants me to help you while I can. She would do anything for Father Merrin. She believes he gave his life for Regan. Are they gonna make him a saint? The world doesn't want any more saints. This is not an official investigation. when Father Merrin arrived, how did he prepare himself? Did he pray? They couldn't explain it, the police, could they? Did Father Merrin ever name the demon? No. It knew him, though. - How do you know that? - It called his name. Did the demon seem to expect Father Merrin? Yes. It feared him, I think. was... was Father Merrin afraid? You'd better see where it happened. what was her condition when Father Merrin saw her? Hideous. That evil face. - I couldn't bear to be near her after. - You're with her now. Two years I stayed away. Two haunted years, going out of my mind. And all the time I longed to see her. Finally, I came back and found that... ...when I'm with her is the only time I'm at peace. why would that be? I can't understand. It frightens me. Have you tried a psychiatrist or a priest? - I'm talking to one now, aren't I? - I'm not here for you. There. In there. Praying. Have you tried praying? Prayer? I pray for the soul of Father Merrin, who died in this room. And for Sharon, who was touched by the shadow of evil. And for myself. For myself. - Next week then, Frank, okay? - Is there any point going on? I'll be in there fighting. Just as long as you are. - Hello. - Hello. come on in. Do you...? - Do you have children of your own? - Yes, I do. Two. A boy and a girl. I'd like to spend more time with them. Must be difficult, with all your responsibilities. Not to mention the complications of being divorced. You seem to manage. Your heart is good. It's hard to live alone. Don't you ever need a woman, Father? Yes. Telling secrets?
Do you remember dreaming of Father Merrin?
Yes.
Can you see him now?
Yes.
Where is he?
Fr. Merrin :
It was long ago when I was
studying the holy men of Africa.
This boy, this young boy,
has very special powers.
They need his help against
The Locust Swarm.
But perhaps this swarm comes,
because of The Boy.
Does Great Goodness
draw Evil upon itself?
Now, Regan, Father Lamont is hypnotized too. I want you to bring him down to you.
Tell him what to do.
Father Lamont?
Yes?
Call me.
Regan.
I am Pazuzu! Pazuzu!
Call me by My Dream Name.
Call Me.
Richard Burton :
Pazuzu -- King of The Spirits of The Air!
Pazuzu! King of The Evil Spirits of The Air!
Spirits of the air!
All-powerful God!
You gave Power to Your Apostles
to pass through dangers!
Give Us Strength!
Fr. Merrin :
Fear Not! We are safe inside!
Even Pazuzu with all his legions
cannot transgress this holiest of places.
Get Thee Hence, Satan! Be uprooted!
Be expelled from This Creature of God!
I command you to the depths of hell!
Richard Burton :
Merrin Defeated You.
Pazuzu :
No! In his own Place of Power,
he gained a little time.
Richard Burton :
It was because The Boy was A Healer
that you attacked him. Now I see.
But Merrin Saved Him!
Pazuzu :
Never! I could claim Kokumo even now.
I'll Show You Power.
Richard Burton :
He's still alive!
Where is he?
Pazuzu :
You want me to take you to him?
Richard Burton :
Yes.
Pazuzu :
Are you sure?
Richard Burton :
Show me.
Pazuzu :
Come fly the teeth of the wind.
Share my wings.
Darth Vader ROARS like a Leopard!
What was it?
Richard Burton :
A Leopard. He jumped at me.
The Boy's Still Alive.
He frightened Pazuzu.
Do you remember anything?
Was it in Africa?
Richard Burton :
Why do you say that?
It was like what I saw at
The Natural History Museum.
Richard Burton :
But you weren't supposed to remember.
I know.
Okay, Regan, that's all for today.
Okay.
Richard Burton :
Pazuzu showed me that boy.
He's a man now,
in a strange mud city in Africa.
Perhaps I can find him.
He has a Power over Evil.
Regan recognized one of those places.
But she told us it was something she remembered from the museum. Let me ask her. Just a minute. Take it easy. I want to take a look at you.
Hi. Hi. Are you waiting for Dr. Tuskin?
She's very nice, isn't she?
What's the matter with you?
I'm autistic.
How do you mean?
I'm withdrawn. I can't talk.
But you're talking now.
Yes, you are. I can hear you.
You can hear me?
Sure!
What's...
...the matter with you?
I was possessed by a Demon.
...oh, it's okay. He's gone!
Dr. Tuskin would like Sandra to visit her voice therapy class.
Hey, Mom.
You know what happened to her?
You're talking! Talking!
Can you hear me, Mother?
She's talking!
God... - Call Gene. Are you all right? Mother, it's all right. - What is it? - Regan's got Sandra talking! - What? - I've got to take her right home! Her father's got to hear before she stops! - She's not going to stop. - No, don't stop, baby, no! - Keep talking! - Come on in my office. No! Her father would never forgive me. I've got to take her home! All right, take her home. Liz, you go with them.
Come on. What did you do?
Nothing. I just started talking to her.
First she was talking inside,
and then she started talking outside.
Gene, do you think I could start
helping some of your other kids?
You know, Regan, it's very dangerous
to fool with Other People's heads.
Sandra seems to be all right...
...but don't try that again. Until...
Until what?
Well, until you're older.
Okay. well, there's Sharon. Bye!
Don't tell Sharon because she'll just call Mom and worry her. Okay?
I don't want to hear any speculation.
Richard Burton :
She entered her mind!
Let's stick to Science.
Richard Burton :
Don't hide behind Science.
Listen, I'm responsible for Regan
while her mother's away.
You stay away from her! Cut it out!
Richard Burton :
You must fight that demon inside her!
It keeps her from spiritual power.
Demons? We make our own, up here.
You're obsessed with the idea!
Richard Burton :
I'm not! I'm fascinated,
but I know the dangers.
Father Merrin was afraid
he'd slip into admiration.
How about adulation?
Hello, Father.
Richard Burton :
How did you know I was coming here?
Well, I didn't...
...for sure.
I'm not allowed to talk to you.
Doctor's orders.
Father? Do priests believe in ESP?
Richard Burton :
Some do. A French priest thought we'd all come together in some
sort of Telepathy --
A kind of "World Mind"
in which everybody would share.
When is that supposed to happen?
Richard Burton :
I don't know. Father Merrin believed that,
with modern research,
it could happen soon.
I mean the kind of research
Dr. Tuskin is doing.
But if it happens before we're ready...
we may find ourselves pointing
in the wrong direction, toward Satan.
Look, Father. That's it! That's where Father Merrin fought Pazuzu. You remember Father Merrin? what else do you remember? Everything. Aren't you afraid? I wish I could tell you not to be, but I can't. why wasn't that man with the leopard afraid of Pazuzu? I don't know. - I'll try to find out.
His name is Kokumo.
Kokumo... If he can teach me how he has survived Pazuzu... ...l'll come back and let you know. I must go to Africa right away! If I can find this man Kokumo, it will prove... ...that the exorcisms were valid. But more than that... ...remember how Merrin prophesied that new men would arise to purge evil? They may already be among us. Kokumo could be one of them. I saw him in a vision. I saw his power over evil. I've asked you to investigate the exorcisms of Father Merrin...
...not to step into his shoes.
You are in dire need of prayer.
I suggest you make a retreat!
Richard Burton :
Why not An Advance?
Lamont, you are in open
defiance of The Church!
Richard Burton :
I beg you to reconsider!
The Cardinal :
I have no choice but to
relieve you of your assignment.
You will refrain from any further action.
We'll speak again after Your Retreat.
Richard Burton :
Thank you.
I am in mortal sin...
...disobedience, pride...
...but evil overwhelms us!
I had to disobey!
I had to disobey!
Where is she?
She's on the roof. She's always there. I can't lock her up.
I wish you'd help Father Lamont.
What do you mean?
He needs your help.
How can I help him?
I don't know how.
Yes, you do. Regan, what are you talking about? well, you know. Going into synch, trying to reach him like that. But you told me he's in Africa. when you're in synch, it's different. I mean, it doesn't matter where you are. You can find them. You know... ...help them. Is that why you haven't been coming to see me? - Because I won't let you go into synch? - Yes. I can't. I have to do what I think is best for you. Is there anyone who would remember Father Merrin? Perhaps the abbot. I can ask him. He knew Father Merrin. He says he was very holy. Did he know Kokumo? Merrin came up here once with a boy who was very sick. There was an accident. A wind, what do you say...? A devil wind. And a monk fell to his death. The big wind raised much dust, and the body was never found. They searched all over, everywhere. He didn't fall there. He bounced on that ledge and fell there. I'll show you! Be careful! wait! Wait for me! over there! In the cleft of that rock over there. - How did you know the body was here? - He was killed by the demon Pazuzu! I flew with Pazuzu in a trance! It's difficult to explain. I was under hypnosis. No, Father! Please wait! Stop, Father, wait! Father! Please! No! Father Abbot! Listen to me! He will not speak to a devil-worshiper! I am not a devil-worshiper! Please don't drug me. Don't put me under, Gene. I'm okay now. - It'll make you sleep. - But it will stop me from dreaming. Maybe that will be good for a while. But he needs me. I've got to find him. You'll be fine. You'll be just fine. You're trying to kill my... My soul. A Muslim city with mud walls, golden. Mud city with golden walls? Sounds like Jepti. - You know it? - I know every holy place in Africa. Religion's my business. Plastic saints, icons, Buddhas, voodoo gris-gris... Edwards is my name. Ecumenical Edwards, they call me. Philip Lamont, archaeologist. It's nice to know you, Father. what now? Locusts! Spraying for locusts! This is the traditional route of the plague! They think they can stop them with DDT! - I've flown this route before! - When was that? It was... It was on the wings of a demon! Did he take you to Jepti? Yes, he did. Almighty God...
...help me. I must find Kokumo.
I have resisted.
I have not called on Pazuzu.
Help me.
Call me.
Regan.
Call me by my dream name. Call me.
Richard Burton :
Pazuzu, Prince of
The Evil Spirits of The Air,
Take me to Kokumo.
I call upon You in The Name
of Father Lankester Merrin.
Darth Vader :
How did you find me?
Richard Burton :
I saw you in the mind of a girl
who was possessed by Pazuzu.
She is still in danger of dreams.
How can I help her?
Darth Vader :
Which girl would you help?
The one possessed by Pazuzu
or the one held by Father Merrin?
You must pluck out her evil heart...
...but Pazuzu has brushed you with his wings.
You Called on Pazuzu to reach me.
You've lost faith in your God.
You do not believe.
Richard Burton :
I do believe!
I'll do anything to help Regan!
Anything!
Darth Vader :
Then prove Your Faith.
Cross over.
Richard Burton :
My Faith is in Jesus Christ, reborn.
Darth Vader :
Prove it. Cross over!
Step out of Your Despair.
If Pazuzu comes for you,
I will spit a leopard.
He FALLS --
Darth Vader :
Can I help you?
Richard Burton :
I fell. I failed!
Darth Vader :
The Heat, perhaps.
Come inside, it's cooler.
Richard Burton :
Who are You?
Darth Vader :
My Name is Kokumo.
Richard Burton :
Did you know Father
Lankester Merrin?
Darth Vader :
Yes. When I was Young,
in Ethiopia. Wonderful man.
Richard Burton :
He died while exorcising the demon
Pazuzu from a young girl. Were you ever...?
Darth Vader :
Possessed by Pazuzu?
That's what my mother used to tell me.
Richard Burton :
Locusts?
Darth Vader :
Yes! Let me show you!
This is one of the main control stations
in equatorial Africa.
The key factor is
the brushing of the wings.
When it is dry, The Grasshoppers
go Their Own Way,
Happy Individuals.
When a heavy rain hatches them
in large numbers,
They crowd together.
Their wings brush against each other.
The agitation transforms them.
Here, you see them in their various forms.
Most importantly,
the brushing of the wings
changes their personality.
They become a destructive,
voracious, marauding swarm,
with a single mind.
A Locust Mind, if you will.
The Evil Swarm sweeps over the earth,
possessing all that it touches.
Richard Burton :
Evil breeding Evil by Contact.
Is there No Hope once The Wings
have brushed you?
Darth Vader :
We Try. With the help of Science.
Look at this young female --
She has been evolved to resist
the brushing of the wings.
At least, that is Our Hope.
We like to call her The Good Locust.
Her Children will be Our Agents in The Swarm.
Breaking the chain reaction.
Remaining forever happy-go-lucky grasshoppers.
Richard Burton :
Let us pray it succeeds.
The Good Locust?
