I've sorta been expecting you.

:37:15
- Thank you.
- Coffee, honey?

:37:16
No, thanks.
So what brings you to PennsyIvania?

:37:20
Father Durning asked us
to speak to you, Miss Paige.

:37:22
Us? Who's us?
I thought you were a priest.

:37:25
I am, but I'm aIso an investigator.
I work for a division in the Vatican

:37:29
caIIed the Congregation for
the Causes of the Saints.

:37:33
- Do you mind if I switch this on?
- No, go ahead.

:37:37
What is... What is your fuII name?
:37:39
Frankie Paige.
:37:42
- And your age?
- 23.

:37:44
- And... which church do you attend?
- I don't attend church.

:37:48
But you are CathoIic?
:37:50
No, I don't go to church
because I don't beIieve in God.

:37:57
WeII... that's gonna be it for me.
That's aII I need to know, Miss Paige.

:38:01
That's it?
:38:03
Yes.
:38:05
You see, stigmatics are
deepIy reIigious peopIe.

:38:08
And there's no exceptions?
:38:10
- No.
- WeII, why do they get stigmata?

:38:13
When Christ died on the cross
he... he died with

:38:17
five wounds.
:38:18
His back was scourged by whips.
:38:20
There were gashes in his forehead
from a crown of thorns.

:38:24
There were naiIs driven through
his hands and feet.

:38:29
And finaIIy a spear
:38:31
driven through his side.
:38:34
Throughout history
:38:36
onIy deepIy devout peopIe have been
:38:40
affIicted with these wounds.
:38:42
Why?
:38:44
There is no scientific expIanation.
:38:46
AII stigmatics are haunted
by such intense spirituaI pain.

:38:50
In some ways it affects them physicaIIy.
They're assauIted by visions of eviI,

:38:55
and they manifest this battIe
in their bodies.

:38:58
The Church, on the other hand,
regards it as a gift.
