:17:52
The boy must be baptized.
:17:58
You're still recovering
from that blow to the head, Father.
:18:01
That's an awfully weak attempt
to explain this away.
:18:04
Yes, it is.
:18:05
Then you accept it?
:18:07
An evil spirit at work in this town?
I didn't say that.
:18:10
Things you think you heard...
:18:12
...things you think you saw
You're saying I'm hallucinating.
:18:15
What about the burn on his forehead?
Did I imagine that?
:18:18
It's an injury
in the rough shape of a cross.
:18:20
The rough shape.
:18:21
You've had a nervous breakdown
Breakdown?!
:18:24
I think it's you who have been
through too much, Merrin.
:18:27
Will you please try
to control yourselves?
:18:30
The boy needs rest.
:18:33
And what about his perfect English?
:18:35
Oh, of course,
I must be imagining that too.
:18:41
All right.
:18:43
Let's assume what you say is true.
:18:46
What harm could there be
in his being baptized?
:18:48
A great deal.
Those people hate and fear Cheche.
:18:52
You want to expose him
to further danger...
:18:54
...by having him join a religion
they equate with evil?
:18:57
Say it. Say it, Merrin. Or can't you?
:18:59
The work of Satan.
It's the work of man!
