1:23:00
And, how do you go about
getting an exorcism?
1:23:08
I beg your pardon?
1:23:14
If a person's, you know,
possessed by a demon, or something...
1:23:19
...how do they get an exorcism?
1:23:22
First, I'd have to get them
into a time machine...
1:23:24
...and get them back to the 16th century.
1:23:26
I didn't get you.
1:23:28
It just doesn't happen any more,
Mrs. MacNeil.
1:23:30
Oh, yes? Since when?
1:23:33
Since we learned about mental illness,
paranoia, schizophrenia.
1:23:37
All those things they taught me at Harvard.
1:23:39
Mrs. MacNeil,
since the day I joined the Jesuits...
1:23:42
...l've never met one priest
who has performed an exorcism. Not one.
1:23:47
Yeah, well...
1:23:52
...it just so happens
that somebody very close to me...
1:23:56
...is probably possessed.
1:23:59
And needs an exorcism.
1:24:01
Father Karras, it's my little girl.
1:24:05
Then that's all the more reason
to forget about exorcism.
1:24:08
Why? I don't understand.
1:24:09
To begin with, it could make things worse.
1:24:11
How?
1:24:12
Secondly, the Church,
before it approves an exorcism...
1:24:14
...conducts an investigation
to see if it's warranted.
1:24:17
That takes time.
1:24:19
-You could do it yourself.
-No, I couldn't.
1:24:21
I'd need Church approval,
and that's rarely given.
1:24:27
Could you see her?
1:24:28
Yes, I could.
I could see her as a psychiatrist--
1:24:31
Not a psychiatrist! She needs a priest!
1:24:33
She's already seen
every fucking psychiatrist in the world...
1:24:36
...and they sent me to you!
Are you gonna send me back to them?
1:24:39
Jesus Christ, won't somebody help me?
1:24:42
You don't understand--
1:24:43
Can't you help her? Just help her!
