I get the vision while at Amityville.
I have a feeling will be your death.
We see the same evil spirit.
Mom, who is it?
The devil in the painting is real.
(The following events occurred in 1952)
(Monastery of St. Carra, Romania)
(God Ends Here)
You sure we correct decision?
We had no choice.
What these relics will save us?
Rest assured, Sister.
Our Father who art in heaven ...
... hallowed be thy name.
Your kingdom come ...
... thy will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses ...
... as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Take!
This devil takes the container to escape.
He will next after you.
Do not let him come over.
- You know what to do. - I can not.
So God can not save ...
Forgive me, Father ...
... the sin which I will do.
Forgive me God.
Oh, my God.

Pastor Burke?
Bishop.
When was the last time you were here?
Six, seven years ago?
After my work as a pastor ended the war, yes.
We appreciate your coming back in this short notice.
Pastor Burke.
Sit down.
We received news that a suicide nun ...
... at a monastery in the mountains of Romania.
Suicide is a sin worse.
But I think this is not reason enough for the reunion.
But this news is not going to shake ...
... our argument to stick to the faith and the Church.
There you confidential.
Why do you say that?
Since we are in the Vatican.
Let me be clear, Pastor.
In this case, although this is rare ...
... we do not believe we are the secrets.
It documents the journey and connection information ...
... on the man who invented the nun.
He lived near the monastery ...
... in a small village called Biertan.
Talk first with him.
In the file there is also a candidate who can help you ...
... in your investigation considering it is a cloistered convent ...
... and your access will be restricted.
He is also familiar with the area.
"TRAVEL DOCUMENTS"
"RUMAH SAKIT SAINT VINCENT"
I've been through a lot of terrible incident.
(London, England)
But nobody prepare me for something like this.
I just wish it did not smell of wild animals I smell.
But then, the wind changed and ...
Save yourself!
Mother Superior says that dinosaurs did not exist.
God put their bones to test our faith.
It sounds like a dirty trick, is not it?
But dinosaurs in the Bible.
Do you believe the penguin and koala bears there?
Ya.
They also do not exist in the Bible.
The Bible is God's love letter to us ...
... but it does not mean he does not want us to ask ...
... about the wonders of His creation.
But Mother Superior said ...
Wait. There's something on your nose.
There he is.
- Vatican? - I was surprised.
I have not even swear.
He knows it.
He's waiting in the garden.
Change clothes.
This official visit.
Oldest only a few days.
You recommended participate ...
... because you know the area.
"The region"?
Already. Romania.
I've never been there.
Is it true?
There must be a mistake.
Sorry if arrival you have to waste your time.
No. No need to apologize.
Every decision of the Vatican is certainly no purpose.
I'm sure there is a reason they picked you.
(Biertan, Rumania)
What is wrong?
Tn. Theriault?
Is.
A jealous husband or father is angry?
What?
Usually one of them ...
... when an old man and a beautiful young girl ...
... a girl that is not so naive ...
... come early.
Sorry, Mr. Theriault ...
... but we do not know each other.
Means may be time to get acquainted.
Call me Frenchie.
Everyone calls me that.
Tn. Theriault, we're here ...
... because the nuns did you find in the monastery.
How did you ...
Your pastor?
And she was a nun.
Forgive my dirty mind, Sister.
I do not know. Never seen nuns do not wear his robe.
Not that I'm against.
Excuse me.
Tuan Theriault...
... abbey.
Is it far?
The distance is not far, but it takes time to get there.
If I may ask, why are you there?
Dropping inventory per three months.
Apparently, the convent had some sort of a deal ...
... by villagers for centuries.
You can immediately take us to get there?
I think not, Father.
There were other villagers who could take us?
Everyone in this village ...
... pretend it does not exist monastery.
Talking about it could give you trouble.
Alright then. You who drove us.
With all due respect, Father, I ...
Please, Frenchie.
You get on a plane from Rome, use buses from Bucharest.
Now you are in the Middle Ages, Comrades.
In remote areas of Romania.
Now you are traveling with horses.
Where are your things?
"Tugas tukang pos."
Nine letters with "N."
Usher.
You're good at crossword puzzles, Sister.
What makes the French come to rural Romania?
I am French-Canadian, but do not tell anyone.
It does not sound romantic.
I'm here looking for gold ...
... but when I meet people here ...
... I knew was destined to be here.
I want to help them. Whatever I can.
You are so precious.
I know.
Tell me, Sister, how long have you become a nun?
I have not become a nun. Still on probation.
You still do not take the oath while?
"Sementara"?
I do not think the word "temporary" from becoming a nun.
Oath while being able to prepare me ...
... for full dedication.
"Could be," Sister? Or "will"?
What is wrong?
Everything is fine?
The rest of us will walk away.
The horse could not be much further.
Maybe you should look for a new horse.
Not because his horse, Pastor.
But waiting in front. He was afraid.
Local residents said it was a condemned ...
... and the horse agreed.
If I may ask, Father ...
... why the Church sent you this job?
Church contacted me when in need of investigation ...
... about unusual phenomena associated with Catholicism.
Unofficially, they call it "hunting miracle."
I thought we were here for suicides.
Indeed, but that's only part of our investigation.
I also ordered the Vatican to determine ...
... whether the place was still ...
...holy.
I can give my opinion now, Father.
As a result of the war?
The bombing, yes.
I heard the land trembled for days afterward.
I tried to find information about the castle itself ...
... but there is no record in the village.
Locals only spit when I asked him.
- "Spit"? - Yes, to cast out demons.
It was a silly superstition and old.
If you asked ...
... crosses that surround the abbey ...
... prevent the devil to come out and not get in.
Did you contact the person in the convent when the nuns found?
Already. No answer.
But for two years delivering supplies ...
... he's the first person I saw.
Frenchie, when you find the nuns, what are you doing?
I moved to protect his body from the elements.
Where did you move it, boy?
Warehouse ice.
That's where I leave the post.
When you find a nun, I thought ...
... perhaps by moving here can help preserve it.
(You first.)
There is one more thing, Father.
What?
It's not like I left it.
What do you mean?
He was lying when I left here.
Not sit like that.
There is a case ...
... bodies jerking or sit ...
... shortly after died.
Yes, but, Father, who knows ...
... how long he died when I found?
You're not helping.
Sorry.
Father, what is it?
It looks like some sort of key.
It had a door that is used nuns to pick up supplies.
So they do not get out of the castle.
Should we give him a decent burial.
It was the common practice during an outbreak.
When people are afraid of being buried alive.
If you have bad luck because it happened to you ...
... you can ring the bell so that people at the top know ...
... that they made a mistake.
Being here was a mistake.
That's where I found it.
How could it be? It happened for weeks.
I told you. This place...
What is the opposite of a miracle, Father?
Halo?
Forgive upon arrival we were not reported.
Halo?
What would you?
I Father Anthony Burke.
This is Sister Irene.
You're Mother Superior?
Ya.
You did not take the oath.
Not yet.
- Please ... - Why are you here, Father?
We sent Rome ...
... to investigate recent deaths in biaramu.
"Death was recently"?
One nun you.
I found him outside. Hanging around his neck.
(So?)
(You deserve a funeral?)
Could leave us for a moment?
You should go with him.
You do not know the nun's death recently?
Rome is worried about security and welfare biaramu.
I want to talk to the sisters ...
... so that I could give a pledge to the Church.
I can give the assurance that you are looking for.
I guess it was not enough.
They will send more officers of the Church's official ...
... which may be less diplomatic.
True, Father.
But the gate will be closed soon ...
... because we want to perform the night prayer.
Followed by the Great Silence ending in the morning.
Come back tomorrow ...
... and you will find the answers you seek.
There is a lodge at the convent.
You can stay there.
thanks.
Why could not you speak with the sisters now?
Why wait until tomorrow?
The sisters vowed silence from sunset to sunrise ...
... which must be respected.
You should go home.
You do not want to be in the streets at night.
Better be on your way from here, Pastor.
We'll be fine, kid. Come back in a few days.
It gave us enough time to get what we were looking for.
Good, Father.
Halo?
To.
Hei!
I'll take this.
Well.
All right.
Pastor?
Earlier you mentioned the "hunt miracle".
That..
That is the role that you are looking for?
Not.
Certainly not.
I was a little selected ...
... dependable Church ...
... to investigate ...
- ... the unusual. - So, you know Bishop Forne?
How did you ...
Because he used to help me.
I get a series of visions as a child.
My father believed that I had a mental disorder.
Or worse, a liar.
But hearing the news about my vision of the Church.
Cardinal Conroy, in particular.
He sent Bishop Forne to see me.
What's your vision?
There are many.
Never repeat the same vision.
But each time the vision ends ...
... the same thought came to my mind.
That is what?
"Mary shows the way."
What is it, Father?
I think of similar incidents ...
... I had experienced in France. During the war.
I was assigned there. Near Lyon.
I was asked to investigate a child with vision.
But, unlike your case ...
... after careful evaluation ...
... I conclude that he is possessed by ...
... and I acted in accordance with the laws of the Church.
Gosh. Daniel.
What did they do to you?
It worked?
Church thought so.
They believe the devil has been expelled.
But you do not believe.
Most Noble Prince ...
... Warriors of Heaven, St. Michael, the archangel ...
Help me, Father!
Come help Daniel ...
... God created corresponding His image!
Look at the Cross of the Lord!
- Why do not you help me? - You're evil!
Daniel suffered severe injuries as a result of an exorcism.
He did not recover from the wound.
Daniel, I'm sorry.
He died a few days later.
Often I wondered if I too insisted with my resolve.
It was a puzzle.
Pastor.
Daniel?
Wait! Not! Please!
Please! Not!
"HERE LIES PASTOR ANTHONY BURKE"
Please!
Anyone!
Please! Sister Irene! Please!
Shepherd! Shepherd?
Pastor?
Please!
Help me!
- Father? - Sister?
- Sister Irene! - Father, I can hear you!
I am here!
Thankfully. thanks.
Quick!
Wait!
thanks. Thank you, Sister.
How can you get there? The ground was covered.
There is evil in this place.
Perhaps the books will help you find the answers.
Blood increases.
How could it be?
Another puzzle.
Mother Superior?
At the request of ...
... we want to talk with the nuns.
This looks like an invitation to our entrance.
I'll find Mother Superior.
Take this.
Do the research.
Clearly this is important for the deceased.
Sister. Please be careful.
Good, Father.
Halo?
Wait!
Sister?
Sister!
We can not be stopped even for a moment.
This monastery continue to pray for centuries.
The nuns pray alternately to remain forward.
I'm sorry I bothered him.
Sister Ruth is able to face ...
... more than just people who sneak in behind him.
I Sister Oana. We notified coming.
Follow me.
"BLACK BEAR"
What?
One more.
Let me tell Luca that free drink.
Why did he cover the mirror?
It has been a tradition here when someone has died.
Mirror closed so that the dead do not see the reflection ...
... and become a ghost.
Nobody died?
You have not heard from him? Luca daughter suicide.
I do not believe. He was still a child.
Age 12 years. Hanged himself in the barn.
Hanged himself? Why?
Why Addi harvest Constantine to ashes?
Why your child becomes blind Stefan?
That's because the place was. The monastery.
The devil's in there already out and poison us.
Two people who you between there yesterday.
- Who are they? - Priest and nun.
Are they still there?
Yes. Tomorrow they pick you up.
Recently you found the bodies in there, right?
Ya, Grigore.
I'm sure you'll find two more bodies.

Of land was formed all the animals on the ground ...
... and all the birds in the sky.
Whatever human beings call the devil ...
... it's called.
Somehow.

Commander of the Snake.
Sister!
Suster Irene!
Sister Victoria's death is a terrible tragedy for this monastery ...
... but we still feel his presence.
He was the most pious among us.
Excuse me, Sister.
Sister Vic ...
Sorry...
... we are maintaining our privacy.
Some nurses prefer I do not talk to you.
We appreciate your willingness.
Suster Oana ...
... can you tell me about the history of this monastery?
The monastery was built by a duke in the Middle Ages.
Adipati Saint Carta.
He wrote many texts on magic and ritual ...
... to summon the power of hell.
Use it to open the gates of hell ...
... so that the devil very nasty ...
... could walk among us.
But the Church stormed the castle.
They closed the gate using an ancient relic ...
... which contains the blood of Jesus Christ.
Church seized the castle ...
... and of unceasing prayer we begin ...
... to secure the monastery and resist evil.
For centuries it was successful and the devil can not get out ...
... until the battle bomb rocked the convent ...
... and the devil find another way to open the gates.
Sister Oana, overnight in the chapel ...
... I saw a nun.
He did not feel clean.
You also see it?
I saw him walking in the hallway at night.
We all saw it.
He looks like us, but not one of us.
It was something evil.
It changes shape to deceive us ...
... and prey on our weaknesses.
He intangibles to be an undercover nun in the convent ...
... until he ruined us all.
I fear his presence means the gate has been opened again.
He makes Sister Victoria committed the biggest sin.
Suster Oana.
Sister Ruth is almost finished with his prayers.
Turn to pray.
Well, Sister.
You did not take the oath?
Not yet.
This means not your place.
- You must go now. - Can not.
The gate was closed. You should be here until the gates are opened again.
When was the gate open?
At sunrise. You have to stay.
Suster Irene.
Good evening, Sister.
Sister, wait.
Ya?
Sister Victoria holds it when he died.
You know this for what?
Not.
Now, I have to go pray.
Where are you?
You will not find another way in, Father.
Mother Superior?
What makes you anxious?
I feel...
... there is nothing terribly wrong with this place, Mother Superior.
Like many places in the world ...
... This convent has a long history.
Not everything is good but we repent.
The nun, I found him grasping this key.
The key to unlock anything, Mother Superior?
It's too late, Father.
Sister Irene'm beyond help.
Mother Superior?
Suster Irene.
Mary shows the way.
Who are you?
God help you.
Sister, come here.
Suster Oana?
Oh, my God.
Shut up.
The devil is getting stronger.
Grab your stuff and meet me in the chapel, Sister.
Only prayer can make us through tonight.
Go.
Now.
Halo?
Suster Oana?
How long I die, Father?
How long?
Daniel?
Forgive me.
Why do not you help me?
We must pray, now.
Whatever happens, whatever you see or hear ...
... keep your eyes directed forward and do not stop praying.
It had a door that is used nuns to pick up supplies.
So they do not get out of the castle.
"PENGIRIMAN"
Not.
Oh, my God.
Frenchie!
I think you need help.
thanks.
But next time, please use the rifle.
I save for emergencies, Pastor.
Sister!
Suster Irene!
Pastor Burke.
It was Father Burke. He will help us.
Sister!
Suster Irene!
Thankfully, Pastor.
You do not have anything, Sister?
Frenchie?
What happened?
We all prayed together.
Pray unceasingly ...
... only then resist the devil.
Who is praying?
We all. The other nuns.
They were here.
They were praying when we were attacked.
- The nuns warned. - Sight.
They seemed so real.
There's nothing left.
We've got the answer, Father.
As we thought earlier ...
... this place is no longer sacred.
Pastor.
Father, we should do what?
Take my bag, Sister! Give the cross.
Give holy water on his cross. Give, fast!
Father, hurry up!
Hold him! Cover your face!
I cast out the devil in you ...
... in the name of God Almighty!
And the power of the Holy Spirit ...
... I ask on behalf of our Father, Jesus Christ ...
... who will judge the living and the dead ...
... and the world is on fire!
It was an emergency.
We're too late.
- The Devil is free. - Not.
So that the devil enters our world ...
... it must permeate the human soul.
Sister Victoria certainly the last nuns in this convent.
- You know what to do. - I can not.
So God can not save ...
It was not a suicide.
That sacrifice ...
... so that the devil does not take away his soul.
I do not understand your words just now, but ...
Looks like you've completed the investigation.
Let's go from here.
We could not go.
Seriously. Why not?
We had to close the gate, to resist the devil.
The gate was in the catacombs.
But we can not close it ...
... without relics. Blood of Christ.
"Christ." Jesus Christ?
The sisters tell it was there where?
Sister was found dead in the tunnel leading to the catacombs.
I think I know where the tunnel.
Nice. It means that's where we first look for it.
But, Father, before we go there ...
... I want to take the oath.
Are you sure?
My eyesight.
Now I know it is a miracle of God.
I'm ready to serve Him.
Sister, it's a noble act.
Too bad, but ...
With the authority granted to me ...
... and on behalf of the Church ...
... I received the oath you took.
I surrender to God.
In order for surrender yourself fused ...
... with the sacrifice of the Eucharist.
And can be brought to perfection.
May God's love menyatukanmu forever.
Nobody was nothing here.
There must be.
They say the key is opening the door to the relics.
It could be anywhere in this castle.
It is here. You do not see it, Sister?
What?
Mary shows the way.
Blood of Christ.
Gosh.
The most holy.
Only the true bride of Christ who can hold something sacred as this.
Wait.
What is wrong?
We do not pray first?
There is a time to pray and a time to act, kid.
Now is the time to act.
I still think this is also a time for prayer, Pastor.
"Finite hic, Deo." God ends here.
We must find anywhere to find the gate.
Sister Irene, through here.
Halo?
Suster Irene!
Sister!
Irene!
Lord Jesus, in the name of Thy Holy ...
... I tie all the evil spirits into this fire!
Protect us from the devil with thy holy light!
Frenchie. Help me.
Certain.
- Not! - You failed.
As you fail to please everyone in your life.
Tomorrow, the village will lose one of its citizens are ignorant.
You're supposed to go ...
... when they had the French.
I was French-Canadian.
Run!
Frenchie!
Not!
Sister!
Suster Irene!
With the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
No, no, no!
Come on.
All right.
I hope you do not mind.
It was called the "kiss of life."
Pr was like that. Not really ...
Frenchie, who's real name?
Maurice.
Thank you for saving my life, Maurice.
Thank you again.
We have to go.
Into thy hands, O Lord ...
... we deliver your servant.
The nuns Saint Carta.
They serve your life with strength and confidence.
Deliver them from all evil.
Let them live with You in perfect grace, forever.
Amin.
I think the ground is not sacred anymore.
Now it is sacred.
You'll stay in Biertan?
I think I'm satisfied with Romania.
My father tomato growers.
Maybe I'll try it.
Sounds boring to adventurers like yourself.
I hope so.
(20 Years Later)
Exorcism can be very dangerous.
Not only for victims, but for everyone in the room.
Examples Maurice Theriault ...
... his friends call him Frenchie.
He bloody French-Canadian farmers.
School only up to class three.
But after she is possessed by ...
... he was very fluent in Latin.
Then inverted cross ...
... began to emerge from the body.
This leads to the three stages of demon activity.
Attack, persecute, and possess.

I had a vision in Amityville.
I had a premonition of your death.
We have both seen the same inhuman spirit.
Mom, who's that?
The demon in your painting is real.
Are you certain we're making the right decision?
We have no other choice.
Will the relic truly save us?
Have faith, Sister.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Take it!
This evil needs a vessel to escape.
It will come after you next.
Don't let it have you.
- You know what you must do. - I can't.
Then not even God can save...
Forgive me, Father,
for the sin I'm about to commit.
Forgive me, Lord.
Oh, God.
Father Burke?
Bishop.
So the last time you were here was what night?
Six, seven years ago?
After my time as a chaplain ended in the war, yes.
Well, we appreciate you coming again under such short notice.
Father Burke.
Sit.
We have received news that a nun has taken her own life
at an abbey in the mountains of Romania.
Suicide is a terrible, terrible sin.
But it doesn't strike me as strong enough reason for a reunion.
But the news of it would not bolster
our argument to keep with the faith and the Church.
You're not telling me something.
Why do you say that?
Because we're in the Vatican.
Let me put it this way, Father.
In this, albeit, rare instance,
we do not believe we're the ones with the secret.
Those are your travel documents and contact information
on the man who discovered the nun.
He lives near the abbey
in a small village called Biertan.
You will want to talk to him first.
Also in the file is the name of a postulant who can help
assist you in your inquiries since it is a cloistered convent
and your access will be limited.
She's also familiar with the territory.
I have survived many terrifying encounters.
But nothing could have ever prepared me for this.
My only hope now was that the beast could not smell me.
But then, the wind changed and...
Run for your lives!
Mother Superior says that dinosaurs were never really alive.
God just put their bones here to test our faith.
That seems like a pretty dirty trick, don't you think?
But they're not in the Bible.
Well, do you believe in penguins and koala bears?
Yes.
They aren't in the Bible either.
The Bible is God's love letter to us,
but it doesn't mean that He doesn't want us to ask questions
about the wonders of His creation.
But Mother Superior says...
Wait a minute. You've got a little something on your nose.
There.
- The Vatican? - I'm as surprised as you.
I haven't even taken my vows yet.
Oh, he's aware of that.
He's waiting for you in the garden.
And change into your habit.
This is an official visit.
It shouldn't take more than a few days, at most.
You were recommended for the journey
because of your familiarity with the territory.
"The territory"?
Yes. Romania.
I'd never been in that part of the world.
Really?
There must've been some mistake.
I apologize if you coming here was a waste of your time.
Oh, no, no. No apology necessary.
Every decision the Vatican makes is with purpose.
I'm sure they had their reasons for selecting you.
What is it?
Mr. Theriault?
Hi.
Jealous husband or angry father?
I'm sorry, what?
Well, usually it's one of the two
when an older man and a young, beautiful,
not-so-innocent girl show up on my doorstep
at this hour of the morning.
I beg your pardon, Mr. Theriault,
but you and I have never met.
Oh. Then perhaps it's time we did.
Call me Frenchie.
Everyone does.
Mr. Theriault, we are here
because of the nun you found at the abbey.
How'd you...
Are you priest?
And she is a nun.
Forgive me for my impure thoughts, Sister.
I had no idea. Never seen a nun out of her vestments.
Not that I'm opposed to it.
Excuse me.
Mr. Theriault
the abbey.
Is it far?
In matter of distance, no, but it takes time to get to.
If I may ask, why were you there?
I was delivering the quarterly supplies.
Apparently, the abbey has had some kind of arrangement
with the village for centuries.
Do you think you could take us there sometime soon?
I don't think so, Father.
Is there someone else in the village, then?
Everyone in this village
pretend like the abbey doesn't exist.
Even talking about it might get you in trouble.
It's settled, then. You will take us.
With all due respect, Father, I...
Please, Frenchie.
You took a plane from Rome, a bus from Bucharest.
Now, my friends, you're in the Dark Ages.
In the backwoods of Romania.
Now, you travel by horse.
Where are your things?
"The postman's charge."
Ten letters with an "L."
Deliveries.
You have a knack for this, Sister.
What brings a Frenchman to the countryside of Romania?
Actually, I'm French-Canadian, but don't tell anyone.
Doesn't sound as romantic.
I came here looking for gold
but when I met the people here,
I just knew this was the place I was meant to be.
Wanted to help them. Any way I could.
That's very noble of you.
I know.
Tell me, Sister, how long have you been a nun?
I'm not a nun yet. I'm still just a novitiate.
You still haven't taken your temporary vows?
"Temporary"?
I didn't think there was anything temporary about being a nun.
Temporary vows would help prepare me
for a life of total consecration.
"Would," Sister? Or "will"?
What happened?
Everything all right?
We walk the rest of the way.
The horse won't go any further.
Maybe you should get a new horse.
Well, it's not the horse, Father.
It's what lies ahead. He's scared.
The locals say it's a cursed place
and the horse agrees.
If I may ask, Father,
why is it the Church sends you on such tasks?
The Church reaches out to me when it needs an investigation
into unusual phenomenon associated with Catholicism.
Unofficially, they call it "miracle hunting."
I thought we were here because of a suicide.
We are, but it's only part of our investigation.
I also have orders from the Vatican to determine
if the grounds are still...
holy.
Well, I can give you my opinion on that now, Father.
A result of the war?
Bombing raids, yes.
I've heard stories of how the ground shook for days after them.
I've tried to find more information on the castle itself,
but there's no record of it in the village.
And the locals only spit when it's mentioned.
- "Spit"? - Yeah, to ward off evil.
It's an old and silly superstition.
And if you ask me,
these crosses that surround the abbey
they keep the evil in, not out.
Did you try to contact someone inside when you found the nun?
I did. No one responded.
But then again, in the two years I've been delivering supplies,
she was the first one I'd seen.
Frenchie, when you found the nun, what did you do?
I moved it to protect the body from the elements.
Where did you move it to, son?
The icehouse.
It's where I leave my deliveries.
When I found the sister, I thought
maybe moving her in here would help preserve her.
I should tell you one more thing, Father.
What?
That's not how I left her.
What do you mean?
She was laying down when I left her here.
Not like that, sitting up.
There have been cases
of bodies twitching or sitting up,
not long after death.
Yeah, but, Father, who knows
how long she was dead when I found her?
You're not helping.
Sorry.
Father, what is it?
It seems to be a key of some kind.
That's the door the nuns would enter from to retrieve the supplies.
So they wouldn't have to leave the castle.
We should give her a proper burial.
It was common practice during the plague.
When people feared to be buried alive.
If you were unfortunate enough for it to happen,
you could ring the bell to let those above ground know
they have made a mistake.
I think being here is a mistake.
That's where I found her.
How is that possible? It's been weeks.
I told you. This place is...
What's the opposite of a miracle, Father?
Hello?
Please excuse us for our unannounced arrival.
Hello?
What is it you want?
I'm Father Anthony Burke.
This is Sister Irene.
Are you the Reverend Mother?
I am.
You haven't taken your vows yet.
No.
- Please... - Why are you here, Father?
We come on behalf of Rome,
to inquire about the recent death in your convent.
"Recent death"?
One of your nuns.
I found her outside. Hanged from the neck.
Would you allow us a moment, please?
You should leave with him.
Are you saying you weren't aware of the recent passing of the nun?
Rome is concerned about the safety and well-being of your cloister.
I'd like to speak with the sisters
so I can offer my assurances to the Church.
I can offer the assurance you seek.
I'm afraid that won't suffice.
They will just send more, and, uh,
perhaps less diplomatic, church officials.
Yes, Father.
However, the gate will be closing shortly
as we are about to take our vespers.
Followed by the Great Silence which ends midmorning.
Come back tomorrow
and you will find the answers you seek.
There is lodging in the convent.
You may stay there.
Thank you.
Why could you not talk to the sisters now?
Why must it wait till morning?
The sisters take a vow of silence from sunset to sunrise
that must be respected.
You should begin heading back yourself.
I imagine you don't want to be caught on those roads when night falls.
Better the roads than here, Father.
We'll be fine, son. Come back in a few days.
That should give us enough time to get what we need.
Yes, Father.
Hello?
Hey.
Hey!
I'll take that.
Okay.
All right.
Father?
You mentioned "miracle hunting" before.
Is that...
Is that a role you sought out?
No.
God, no.
I'm a part of a small select few
the Church relies on to
look into their more
- unusual matters. - So, you know Bishop Forne?
How do you...
Because he helped me when I was younger.
I had a series of visions when I was a girl.
My father believed I was mentally unstable.
Or worse, a liar.
But word of my visions reached the Church.
Cardinal Conroy, specifically.
And he sent Bishop Forne to meet with me.
What were your visions?
There were many.
Never the same one repeated.
But after each one ended,
the same thought would be stuck in my head.
Which was... what?
"Mary points the way."
What is it, Father?
I was thinking of a similar incident
I encountered in France. During the war.
I was stationed there. Near Lyon.
I was told to investigate a boy with visions.
But, unlike your case,
after what I believe was careful evaluation...
I made the judgment he was possessed,
and proceeded to act accordingly within the laws of the Church.
My God. Daniel.
What have they done to you?
Was it a success?
The Church thought so.
They believed the evil was cast out.
But not you.
Most Glorious Prince
of the Heavenly Armies, Saint Michael, the archangel...
Help me, Father!
Come to the assistance of Daniel,
whom God has made in His likeness!
Behold the Cross of the Lord!
- Why won't you help me? - Ye hostile forces!
Daniel sustained severe injuries during the exorcism.
Ones from which he could not recover.
Daniel, I'm so sorry.
He died days later.
I often wonder if I was too eager with my determination.
That is a puzzle.
Father.
Daniel?
Wait! No! Help!
Help! No!
Help!
Somebody!
Help! Sister Irene! Help!
Father! Father?
Father?
Help!
Help me!
- Father? - Sister?
- Sister Irene! - Father, I can hear you!
I'm right here!
Oh, thank God. Thank you.
Hurry!
Wait! Wait!
Thank you. Thank you, Sister.
How did you get in there? The ground was covered.
There is a powerful evil presence in this place.
Maybe those books will help shine a light on our answer.
There's more of it.
How is that possible?
Another puzzle.
Abbess?
As requested,
we are here to speak with the nuns.
It seems like that's as much as an invitation as we'll get.
I'll go find the Abbess.
Take this.
See what you can find out about it.
It was obviously important to the deceased.
Sister. Be careful, please.
I will, Father.
Hello?
Wait!
Sister?
Sister!
We mustn't stop praying, even for a second.
This convent has had perpetual adoration for centuries.
The sisters pray in shifts to maintain a constant vigil.
I am so sorry to have disturbed her.
Sister Ruth has withstood
more than just someone sneaking up behind her.
I'm Sister Oana. We were told you were coming.
Please, follow me.
What?
Another round.
I told Luca it was on the house.
Why did she cover the mirror?
It's tradition here when someone dies.
You cover the mirror, so the deceased doesn't see their reflection
and become a ghost.
Someone died?
You didn't hear? Luca's daughter committed suicide.
I can't believe it. She was just a kid.
Twelve years old. Hanged herself in his barn.
Hanged herself? Why?
Why did Addi Constantine's crop turn to dust?
Why was little Stefan struck blind?
It is that place. The abbey.
Whatever evil is up there, it's leaking out, poisoning us.
And that, uh, couple you took up there yesterday.
- Who were they? - Priest and a nun.
Are they still up there?
Yeah. Pick them up tomorrow.
You recently discovered a body up there, didn't you?
Yeah, Grigore, yeah.
Well, I believe you're about to discover two more.
And out of the ground formed every beast of the field
and every bird of the sky.
And whatever the man called the demon creature,
that was its name.
Somehow.
The Defiler.
The Profane.
The Marquis of Snakes.
Sister!
Sister Irene!
Sister Victoria's death was a terrible tragedy for the convent,
but we still feel her presence.
She was the most devoted out of any of us.
Excuse me, Sister.
Sister Vic...
Forgive us,
we're highly protective of our privacy.
Some of the sisters would prefer I not speak to you at all.
We appreciate your willingness to do so.
Sister Oana,
can you tell me about the history of this abbey?
It was built by a duke in the Dark Ages.
The Duke of Saint Carta.
He wrote countless texts on witchcraft and rituals,
in which to call upon the forces of hell.
Hell used him to open a gateway
so that an unspeakable evil
would walk amongst us.
But the Church stormed the castle.
They sealed the gateway using an ancient relic
containing the blood of Jesus Christ.
The Church claimed the castle for their own
and our perpetual praying began
to secure the abbey and contain the evil.
For centuries it worked and evil was kept at bay
until the bombs of war shook the abbey
and evil found another way to open the gateway.
Sister Oana, last night in the chapel,
I saw a nun.
She was... She felt anything but holy.
Do you see her, too?
I've seen her stalking the hallways at night.
We all have.
She looks like us, but she's not one of us.
It's something unholy.
It takes on different forms to deceive us
and prey on our weaknesses.
It appears as a nun so it can hide among our cloister
until it can corrupt us all.
I fear her presence means the portal has opened again.
It made Sister Victoria commit the ultimate sin.
Sister Oana.
Sister Ruth is nearly finished with her prayers.
It's time you attend to yours.
Yes, Sister.
You haven't taken your vows yet?
No.
Then this is not a place for you.
- You need to leave now. - She can't.
The gates have closed. You must stay until they open again.
When do they open?
Sunrise. You must stay the night.
Sister Irene.
Good night, Sister.
Sister, wait.
Yes?
Sister Victoria had this in her possession when she died.
Do you happen to know what it's for?
No.
Now, please, I must go pray.
Where are you?
You won't find another way in, Father.
Abbess?
What is it that concerns you?
I'm afraid
there's something very wrong with this place, Abbess.
Like many places in this world,
the abbey has a long history.
Not all good but we repent.
That nun, I found her clutching the key in her hands.
What does it open, Abbess?
It's too late, Father.
Sister Irene is lost.
Abbess?
Sister Irene.
Mary points the way.
Who are you?
God save you.
Sister, please come.
Sister Oana?
Oh, God.
Quiet.
The evil grows stronger.
Get your things and meet me in the chapel, Sister.
Only prayer will get us through the night.
Go. Leave.
Now.
Hello?
Sister Oana?
How long have I been dead, Father?
How long?
Daniel?
I'm sorry.
Why won't you help me?
We need to pray, now.
And whatever happens, whatever you may see or hear,
keep your eyes forward and don't stop praying.
That's the door the nuns would enter from to retrieve the supplies.
So they wouldn't have to leave the castle.
No no.
Holy mother of God.
Frenchie!
Thought you could use some help.
Thank you.
But please, by all means, next time, do use the shotgun.
Well, I'm saving that for emergencies, Father.
Sister!
Sister Irene!
Father Burke.
It's Father Burke. He will help us.
Sister!
Sister Irene!
Oh, thank God, Father.
Are you all right, Sister?
Frenchie?
What happened?
We, we've been praying, all of us together.
Perpetual adoration,
it's the only thing that's been holding back the evil.
Who's been praying?
All of us. The other nuns.
They were here.
They were praying when we were attacked.
- The nuns tried to warn me. - Visions.
They felt so real.
There's no one left.
We have our answer, Father.
As if there was any doubt before,
this place is no longer holy.
Oh, Father.
Father, what do we do?
Get my bag, Sister! Hand me the cross!
Put some holy water on it. Here, hurry!
Please, Father, hurry!
Hold it down! Cover its face!
I cast out the demon in you,
in the name of God the Father Almighty!
And the power of the holy spirit,
I ask this in the name of our Father, Jesus Christ,
who is coming to judge both the living and the dead,
and the world of fire!
That felt like an emergency.
We're too late.
- The evil is free. - No.
For the demon to enter our world,
it must possess a human soul.
Sister Victoria must have been the last nun in this cloister.
- You know what you must do. - I can't.
Then not even God can save...
It wasn't suicide.
It was a sacrifice,
so the evil wouldn't take her soul.
I did not understand a word you just said, but, uh...
Sounds like your investigation's complete.
So, let's get outta here.
We can't just leave.
Oh, come on. Why the hell not?
We have to seal the gateway, to contain the evil.
The gateway is in the catacombs.
But we can't close it
without the relic. The blood of Christ.
"Christ." Jesus Christ?
Did the sisters tell you where it is?
The Abbess was found dead in the tunnel to the catacombs.
I think I know where that tunnel is.
Good. Then, that's where we look first.
But, Father, before we do,
I'd like to take my vows.
Are you certain?
My visions.
I now know they are a miracle of God.
And I am ready to commit my life to Him.
Now, that, Sister, is a noble act.
It's a shame, but...
By the authority entrusted to me,
and in the name of the Church,
I receive the vows you have taken.
I earnestly commend you to God.
That your gift of self, is made one
with the sacrifice of the Eucharist.
And might be brought to perfection.
May the love of God unite you forever and ever.
Well, there's nothing here.
There has to be.
They told me this key unlocks a door to the relic.
That could be anywhere in the castle.
It is here. Don't you see it, Sister?
What?
Mary points the way.
The blood of Christ.
Holy shit.
The holiest.
Only a true bride of Christ can wield something so sacred.
Wait.
What is it?
Shouldn't we say a prayer or something, first?
There's a time for prayer, and a time for action, son.
Now is the time for action.
Also still feels like a time for prayer as well, Father.
"Finit hic, Deo." God ends here.
We need to search everywhere to find the gateway.
Sister Irene, this way.
Hello?
Sister Irene!
Sister!
Irene!
Lord Jesus, in your Holy Name,
I bind all evil spirits to this fire!
Protect us from evil with your holy light!
Frenchie. Help me.
Of course.
- No! - You failed.
Just as you have failed everyone in your life.
Tomorrow, a village will be missing its idiot.
You should've kept running
when you had the chance, Frenchman.
I am French-Canadian.
Run!
Frenchie!
No!
Sister!
Sister Irene!
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
No no no no no!
Come on.
Okay.
I hope you don't mind.
It's called "the kiss of life."
It's just called that way. It's just, it's not really...
Frenchie, what's your real name?
Maurice.
Thank you for saving my life, Maurice.
You're welcome.
We should get going.
Into your hands, O Lord,
we humbly deliver your servants.
The nuns of Saint Carta.
They served you in this life with strength and faith.
Deliver them now from every evil.
And let them live with you in perfect grace, forever.
Amen.
Thought this ground wasn't holy anymore.
It is now.
Will you stay on in Biertan?
Oh, I think I've had my fill of Romania.
My father was a tomato farmer.
Maybe I'll try that for a while.
Sounds a little boring for a world traveler like you.
Certainly hope so.
An exorcism can be very dangerous.
Not only for the victim, but for anyone in the room.
Take Maurice Theriault,
his friends called him Frenchie.
He was a French-Canadian farmer.
Nothing more than a third grade education.
Yet, after he was possessed...
...spoke some of the best Latin I'd ever heard.
And like that, an upside-down cross
started to appear from within his body.
Which brings me to the three stages of demonic activity.
Infestation, oppression, and possession.
