[dramatic tone]
[ominous music]
- Just leave the poor child be
and be done with this already.
We all know how this ends.
Do you really want us to
go through this whole song
and dance?
This would be a
lot easier if you
just tell us your name, demon.
[breathing heavily]
- Okay, father's got
no choice but to go
through the whole routine.
- In the name of
Christ our Lord,
I demand you reveal your name.
- We have great power to
make demands, Mason Harper.
- Really?
[tense music]
- It's okay.
- In nomine patris
omnipotentis.
- You and I are
fellow travelers.
- I love when they laugh
at their own jokes.
- In the name of the
Almighty Father--
- What about your--
- I demand--
- --Almighty Father?
- Now you're just
pissing me off.
[screaming]
- By the power of Christ,
tell us your name.
- Easy, Daniel.
- You already know my name.
- By the power of Christ,
the Holy Spirit, demands--
- Daniel!
Daniel!
Stay back.
[thud]
[creaking]
[groaning]
- No more demands.
You were supposed to
be one of God's elite.
Now you're nothing
more than a coward,
lacking the courage to
question your own beliefs.
[heavy breathing]
[tense music]
- Goodbye, Father.
- You can't hurt me.
- Why's that?
- A lot of them are
ordered to protect me.
I cast thee out!
[music playing]
[phone dialing]
[in Italian] Father Harper
for Father Gabrielle
- Were you successful
in banishing the demon?
- With a heavy cost...
Father Scott...
Father Scott was
k*lled during the ritual.
- Don't mention this
to anyone else.
- What's going on?
- What else did you
learn about the presence?
- I couldn't identify it.
It claimed to know me.
We need to keep this
between us. Do you understand?
- Understand what?
[in English]
- Father Scott was our
sixth exorcist
k*lled today.
[rumbling]
[eerie music]
[music playing]
[wind howling]
[footsteps]
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[splash]
- Hey, stranger.
Hey, stranger.
[horn honking]
Hey, stranger.
Need a lift?
So I was going
to get you a card,
but there wasn't a section
for surviving a religious cult
and then joining a different
religious cult.
Okay, what's wrong?
Was coming back
here a bad idea?
I really hope I didn't
put you into it.
- No, no, no, it's not that.
It's not.
Vatican has me on
emergency notice.
- But that's not what's
bothering you, is it?
- The last 24 hours
have been strange.
- You want to be, like, a
little bit more specific?
- For one, I thought
I saw my father.
- What?
- I know.
He was standing there just
before you picked me up.
He was standing
there, clear as day.
- Mace, we saw him die.
- I know.
I know it's crazy.
- What was he doing?
- Jumped off the bridge.
I looked down, and
he wasn't there.
- So you imagined it.
- I'm not sure that
makes it better or worse.
- All right.
I haven't seen a congregation
member in a long, long time.
- I can't believe how long it's
been since I've been back here.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, I can't blame you, not
after what you went through.
- What we went through.
I wouldn't have made it
out if it wasn't for you.
- You're returning
to a place where
you suffered sustained
emotional and physical trauma.
Of course, it's going
to be triggering to you.
I see it all of the time
with my PTSD patients.
Plus, you're exhausted.
I mean, if you feel
as bad as you look,
I'm surprised you're not
seeing more weird sh*t.
- There's that Tanis
trauma I know and love.
- I miss you, Mace.
And it's not enough seeing
you once a year-ish.
- Take it up with the pope.
- Well, as much as I love
chasing you around the globe,
thought finally coming home
might give you some closure.
- Where did you find this?
- Oh, I have always had that.
It sat there.
- That was the first time
you tried to convince
me to leave the ranch.
- That was the first time
we did a lot of things
that we don't talk about.
[music playing]
- What am I doing?
- Something that you wanted
to do for a long time.
- I can't.
- Why?
- Come on, Tanis.
- Because you
conduct a ritual that
acts as a
psychosomatic treatment
for certain mental conditions?
- No, I know, as
a psychiatrist--
- No, as a rational person--
- --you have to
look at it that way.
- --I have to think
about it that way.
- You haven't seen
the things I've seen.
- I have been to w*r.
I remember how miserable
you were at group home.
And I get it.
Seminary was your ticket out,
same as military was for me.
But I expanded my horizons--
- No.
No, it wasn't a ticket out.
No.
My connection to the
divine was always real.
- The world has become
way too complicated
to divide into good and evil.
- Or maybe it's become harder
to tell one from the other.
- Or maybe some people
just refuse to figure out
those answers for themselves.
- Tanis, my-- my faith
is my coat of armor.
And if there is
any weakness in it,
then the things that
I have to confront
will use that against me.
- Mason--
- A boy that I was responsible
for, he died during a ritual
last night.
His head busted open on
the floor in front of me.
Now, is that real
enough for you?
Because I'm not going to make
myself vulnerable, Tanis.
Not even for you.

How many weeks

- The wind's picking up.
Snow's coming.
- Yeah.
You can say that again.
How many times I've
had to leave you
- Hey, do I know you?
- Nah.
I don't think so.
- Yeah, sure.
Didn't we go to high
school together?
- No, it's not me.
- I swear.
- I think you're
thinking of someone else.
Just passing through.
How many nights I've
sat and wondered
[bell rings]
[door squeaks]
[wind howling]
[eerie music]
- The Holy Lord shall
return through me.
I will be his vessel.
He speaks to me now.
He tells me that he has chosen
my only son, Mason, to shepherd
him into this world.
Yes.
Yes, I hear you, Lord.
And like Abraham before me,
I shall gift you my progeny.
And the Lord shall manifest
to Mason, who shall
carry out this sacred duty.
But his sins must first
be purified through pain.
[screams]
- Just as we all shall
be cleansed by the Lord
upon his return.
And thus shall begin the
epoch of the final judgment.
[whipping]
[moaning]
[whipping]
- Looks like I missed a
good party last night.
[glass clanks]
- Looks like I missed a
good party last night.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry for
taking off like that.
- No.
No, it's on me.
The truth is, um--
I've been struggling.
I've been struggling
a lot lately.
I just look around, and
I see so much darkness.
I have my faith.
- How long have you
been feeling this way?
- I saw him again.
- What?
Who?
- Angus.
Oh.
- Mace, the stuff
with your father,
deep down, I think
it's just guilt.
- I'm well versed in
the concept of guilt.
You're saying that guilt
caused me to see someone who's
been dead since we were kids?
- I saw what he
put you through.
- If I knew what I know now
I could have helped him.
- Your father wasn't
possessed, Mason.
He was likely schizophrenic.
He was definitely a narcissist.
- Forgiveness is part
of my job description.
- You haven't forgiven him.
And you don't need to either.
Like, how long do you think
it would have been until he
k*lled you during one of his--
[phone buzzes]
It looks like
it's the hospital.
- Yeah.
Go ahead.
[phone buzzing]
- Uh, this is, uh, Dr. Green.
- Sorry to bother you
on your day off, Doctor.
Uh, Stan Nelson just showed
up in quite a bit of distress,
and we've had to restrain him.
- What's got him worked up?
- It's not his usual symptoms.
He seems to be experiencing
a full-scale hallucination.
- What did he see?
- He said he was
sleeping under Coronation
Bridge when somebody
jumped off and landed
head first on the ice.
- Oh, that's-- uh, that's--
uh, that's probable, isn't it?
- Well, that part is.
But he insists the
jumper got up and just
walked away afterwards.
- Um, yeah, I'm
headed right in.
- What was all that about?
- Oh, it's just a fire I need
to put out at the hospital.
- You say I work too much.
- I want to finish
this discussion.
Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
[music playing]
- I was--
I was meant to see it.
He hit the rocks right
smack in front of me.
- Okay.
Okay.
But how can you be sure
that it really happened?
- Have you ever
seen someone hit
the ground from that height?
- No.
- Their brains burst from
their head like fresh oysters.
The neck disappears
into the shoulders.
Brains turned to jelly.
And the sound is--
- Okay, okay. Breathe.
Breathe.
- The body went back
to normal,
as good as new.
It was a miracle
before my very eyes.
- You believe you
witnessed a miracle?
- Yeah.
Not the good kind.
- And why is that?
- Thessalonians, Chapter 4.
The Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout.
And the dead in Christ
shall rise first.
It means the end has come.

[door opens]
- Glen, it's been a while.
Is everything okay?
- I heard you were in town.
- How'd you hear that?
- Your father told me.
I know.
I know how that sounds.
I found him wandering down the
middle of the g*dd*mn highway.
I don't know what to say, Mace.
I don't know how.
Here.
[tense music]
[crow cawing]
I think resurrection is
more your jurisdiction.
- Glen, this can't
actually be him.
- That's what I figured too.
Some kind of
double or impostor?
Some kind of prank
or something?
- Who are you?
- I'm not sure of
the protocol here.
I got these tranquilizers.
sh*t.
You like me more than he does.
- Glen, you can't
leave him here.
- For emergencies.
Gentlemen.
[tense music]
[drum beat]
- They're looking for us.
- Who?
- If they find us, we all die.
[labored breathing]
- Can you explain to me how it
is that you're here right now?
[halting breathing]
If you talk to me, then
maybe I can help you.
It is you.
This confirms my
suspicion that you
aligned yourself with the
demon all those years ago.
I can free you
from its influence.
Do you-- do you understand me?
- You still haven't
figured it out, have you?
- It's up to you whether
you want my help or not.
I never wanted any
harm to come to you.
It was my hope that
we could make amends.
I didn't want anything
bad to happen to you.
And I don't understand
how you're here right now.
But maybe we can fix this.
[car driving slowly]
- My all.
[door opens]
[tense music]
- I wouldn't do that, Glen.
[g*n c*ck]
- I'm sure you can guess
who we're looking for.
- Angus?
Angus is gone.
- I'm going to go through
the motions of asking
you one more time politely.
But gracious me, I
will put holes in you
for the greater good.
- I said, he's not here.
- Well, then...
I guess I got no use
for you then, do I?
[g*nshots]
[birds cawing]

[g*nsh*t]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
- You've reached Father Mason.
Leave a message.
- Mace, um, I'm starting to
see what you're talking about.
Something strange is going on.
Call me.
[honks horn]
[eerie music]
[tires squeal]
[water running]
- Let's get you cleaned up.
You're a bloody mess.
[tense music]
- Can you help me out here?
Just-- just lift your arms.
Lift your arms up.
Okay.
What have you done to yourself?
That's not cuneiform.
What alphabet is that?
That's not cuneiform.
What alphabet is that?
- Son, I want you to
listen to me very closely.
I was wrong.
The sermons, the
congregation, the rituals,
they were all wrong.
It wasn't my fault.
I was tricked.
I was tricked from
the very start.
- Well, I'm glad to see that
you're starting to understand
what really happened.
Okay, uh, let's get
you cleaned up.
I'll find you some clothes
and, uh, keep talking.
- Okay, and you say this man
was driving Glen's cruiser?
- Yeah.
I've never seen him before.
- Was there any sign of
Officer Burke in the vicinity?
- Not that I could tell.
- Well, Glen said he
had a personal matter
to attend to earlier.
Maybe this is related to that.
I'll check in with him.
- Okay.
Um-- thank you, Officer Lester.
- I'd like to speak with
the Grand Cleric, please.
[in Italian]
- Leave a message.
- Father Gabrielle,
this is Father Harper.
There have been some
interesting developments
on my end.
Please, call me back soon.
[in English]
- That fraud in Rome
won't help us.
[footsteps]
- After the abuse
you put me through,
the Jesuits gave
me the structure
I needed to rebuild my faith.
They taught me the
rite of exorcism.
- Manipulation, all of it.
And I refuse to
be an accomplice.
- You've been given
a second chance.
Why would you throw that away?
- He won't let me die.
- I don't understand.
- How many times do you need
to see something to believe it?
Perhaps there is no avoiding
the prophecy after all.
- All these years, you thought
you were channeling God.
It was the opposite.
Let me purge this
demon once and for all.
- Well, sadly, I am
still God's vessel.
- If you think that,
you're still a fool.
Give me your legs.
- Oh.
- Get some rest.
[footsteps]
[door closes]
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
- Please.
Please.
[clock ticking]
[eerie music]
- He's in there now.
- All right.
It's going to be okay, Mason.
Okay?
You guys stay here,
and you stay safe.
We'll take care of this.
Okay, guys, two by
two up the road.
Favor the left and stay low.
Good.
[tense music]
- This is the police!
Everybody, down!
[g*nshots]
[screaming]
[g*nshots]

- Stop.
Stop.
- There's no choice.
He's found us.
- Who?
- Adonai.
Elohim, he won't let me die.
I must stop him!
- Enough!
[rumbling]
[tense music]
- Stop.
You'll k*ll us all!
- Calm down.
- Can't you see
what's happening?
Can't you see?
- Come here.
- He'll m*rder us all.
[whispering, snarling]
- What are you looking at?
- It's too late.
[tense music]
[gasps]
He's here.
- Who?
- [speaking Latin]
- Bear witness and be saved.
- Bear witness and be saved.

[g*n c*ck]
- Let him go or
I'll bleed you dry.
[coughing]

- Blessed Michael,
archangel, defend
us in the hour of conflict.
- Stop.
You're empowering him.
- Safeguard us against the
evil snares of the devil.
Heavenly host, through
the power of God,
cast down to hell Satan--
- Stop!
Stop!
- --and with him,
all of the evil
spirits that wander
through the world
through the ruin of souls.
This is a holy space now.
Protect it from
demonic influence.
- k*ll me.
Maybe if you do it, I can die.
Please.

- Hello?
- Glen.
Glen, it's Mason.
I got to ask you a couple of
questions about what happened
with Angus before you
dropped him off here
because none of this makes
any sense, not even to me.
- Mace, where are you now?
- I'm still at Tanis's place.
- I'll see you soon.
- Toss the body.
We have someplace to be.
- Help me.
- Today truly is the day
of prophecy, my brothers.
- [groaning, screaming]
[screaming]
[phone dialing]
[phone ringing]
[in Italian]
- Yes, Hello.
- This is Father Harper
I've been trying to get
ahold of Father Gabrielle.
it's important.
- I'm sorry,
but there's been an incident
involving Father Gabrielle.
What do you mean,
"an incident?"
- Father Gabrielle
has been k*lled
- What?! How did it happen?
- It occurred during an
Exorcism here last night.
[in English]
- Tell me,
how many exorcists
have we now lost?
- You are forbidden
to perform the ritual
until a full investigation
is conducted.
God be with you, Father.
- You are my--
[tense music]
- Angus?
Angus?
Angus, can you hear me?
- [non-English speech]
- Who are you?
[loud screeching]
[explosions]

[phone dialing]
- Mace, um, I'm starting to
see what you're talking about.
Something strange is going on.
Call me.
- No sh*t.
- Oh.
- Well, well, well.
Gale Hanson, you are
here to be judged.
Someone tell me what happened.
- She was discovered
with the boy
in the midst of what appeared
to be sexual intercourse.
[rapid breathing]
- The church has
been very clear
about sexual relations,
especially those
outside the flock.
- The fornication was confirmed
through an examination
of the accused.
- One step outside the
temptation of man, and God
speaks through me.
And I judge you now as
he will judge us all.
The enormity of this moment is
too great to consider leniency.
The accused is guilty.
- No.
- Eunuch has spoken.
- No.
No.
No--
[g*nsh*t]
- Remove the guilty and
bring forth the next accused.
[tense music]
[bells tolling]
- Praise be to our Lord.
Bless the souls of my brothers
who have fallen on this day.
Allow their spirits
to provide me strength
in the coming struggle.
Lend me their courage.
And grant me the
resolve to resist
the evil that lays before me.
Furnish me the wisdom to
uncover this malevolence
where it hides.
Identify its true
nature, regardless
of what mask it wears.
Allow my faith to be my shield
and righteousness my sword
with which I shall
slay this serpent
and reveal its illusions
for what they truly are,
the debased lies of the
devil and his woeful legions.
I will not forsake you again.
[creaking]
[tense music]
- [speaking Latin]
- Why are you here, child?
- To send you back to hell.
- Backward.
The children always
get it backward.
- Tell me your name, demon.
- You do not recognize
the one before you.
Yet you have the arrogance to
call yourself a man of God.
- I'm not as easily
fooled as my father.
In the name of Christ our Lord,
I demand you reveal thy name.
- Your rituals only
make me stronger.
- You do not speak,
but I hear you.
How?
- I damaged your ears so you
would listen with your heart.
That is the only way by
which my voice can be heard.
But this is not the first
time you've heard it.
When you received your
calling at the youth home,
do you remember what
the voice told you?
Come to me.
- Come to me.
- [together] And we
shall start anew.
- Do you know who I am?
- I know you're a liar.
- Feel honored.
You have been chosen for
this, despite resisting
your father's preparations.
- Preparations?
Whipped and forced
to pray, tortured,
beaten so badly
I couldn't walk,
what is that a preparation for?
- For today.
Just as you abandoned
your father,
humanity has abandoned me.
And in turn, I shall
abandon humanity.
I need your help, Mason,
to end my suffering,
just as I needed
your father's help.
He too resisted.
But like him, deep inside,
you know mankind has failed.
You know that it is
only a matter of time
until humanity is under
the devil's control.
- I resist your deceptions.
You can't hide your
identity forever, demon.
[tense music]
- [moans]
[angelic music]
- In the name of
Christ our Lord,
I demand you reveal your name.
In the name of Christ our Lord,
I demand you reveal your name!
In the name of Christ our Lord,
I demand you reveal thy name!
[tense music]
[angelic music]
- [groans]
- Do you recognize
me now, Father?
[grunting]
- Do you recognize
the face of God?
- Enlighten us.
What brings you here on the
most sacred of occasions?
- Well, dumb luck, I guess.
- There is no such thing
as luck in the eyes
of God, Dr. Tanis Green.
- Tanis Green?
Do you realize who this is?
Lower your p*stol.
Lower your weapon.
Her presence here
is a great blessing.
- Execute her.
- Don't you see?
Tanis Green is a
cohort of the shepherd.
- You're a friend
of Mason Harper's?
- I've never heard of him.
- Her presence will
compel the shepherd
to conduct the summoning.
- No--
- The prophecy manifests
before our very eyes.
- No, I've never heard of
anyone named Mason Harper!
- Godspeed to God.
Praise be to God.
- No!
No!
- Praise be to God!
Praise be to God!
[water running]
- [heavy breathing]
[tense music]
- Would you like to
know what transpires?
- I'm sure you'll
tell me either way.
- Come.
We have much to discuss.
[fire crackling]
- You can relax now, Father.
After all, you
inverted the cross.
It's you who invited me here.
- I will banish you also.
- I'm assuming you've
managed to identify
me since our last encounter.
Put a name to the faces.
- In Mexico, it was
you trying to k*ll me,
as you did all the
other exorcists.
- It's a pretty nifty move you
pulled with your pal's blood.
I'll give you that.
Think of it as a
mutual breakup, Father.
Humanity's done with God, and
God is done with humanity.
That's why he's holed up
inside your daddy there.
- Nice try.
- Listen closely.
If God is allowed to take
form in the mortal plane,
this world will end.
And for God to truly
manifest, he's going to need
a medium to summon him.
And that's where you come in.
- That's why you've been
eliminating exorcists.
- God was telling your
father to prepare you
for this all these years,
Mason, laying the foundation
for humanity's demise.
There's no salvation
here, Father.
Only destruction.
And by the time
your daddy figured
that out, it was too late.
- Why does it matter
if God takes form here?
- Mm.
God needs to be present in
this world in order to end it.
That's just one of the fun
rules he and I have to play by.
Let's just say he's
not as almighty
as he'd have you believe.
You, me, humanity,
none of us are anything more
than abused children.
It just so happens both of our
fathers are in the next room,
as vulnerable as baby sheep.
It is our duty to make sure
they cannot harm us again.
- So go do it then.
- Unfortunately, the
unrepentant are still
scorched by his light, so.
Is that so hard to believe?
I was God's most
cherished creation.
Look what he did to me.
Imagine what he'll do
to the rest of humanity.
It is in both of our best
interests to make sure
he cannot abandon
or abuse a single
other one of his children.
- I have no desire to make
a pact with the devil.
- Think of it as
preventing m*rder/suicide
on the grandest scale.
Can I count on you, Father?
[fire cracking]
[water bubbling]
- Go back to hell.
- I'll see you soon.
[creaking]
[blast]
- Hiya, Mace.
- Hi, Beau.
- Uh, uh, uh.
You know, they call me
the Grand Cleric now.
[g*n c*ck]
I suggest you do the same.
Thanks for finding
your pappy for us.
Been looking for
him for a long time.
You know, Angus once told me
in confidence that today would
be the day of the summoning.
His prophecy was
right on the nose.
Randall, bring in
the containment unit.
Get Angus inside.
- You can't k*ll me.
You need me to
perform the ritual.
- Yeah, you're right.
Lord knows I sure can
hurt you a whole bunch.
Besides, we got someone
down at the ranch
you might want to see again.
- [sighs]
- [groans]
- [sighs]
[footsteps]
- Where'd he go?
- God damn it!
- Hey, what did I tell you
about that blasphemy, Randall?
- Sorry about that.

- I thought you were
just passing through.
- Do you have a phone?
Please.
- No problem.
[phone ringing]
- You know, I
remembered the name
of that guy I went
to high school
with who looked just like you.
- Hi.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
I need to report an emergency.
- Hey, you know what I think?
- No, no, I-- no, I
can't hold right now.
- Said do you
know what I think?
- What?
[eerie music]
[gear turning]
[ticking]
[tense music]
[grunting]
[distant whispers]
- A relic from
the w*r in heaven.
1,000 angels were
felled by its blade.
Take it and slay
all that is holy.
- As we all shall be cleansed
by the Lord upon his return.
[metallic swoosh]
[tense music]
- [heavy breathing]
- Yes, I think we
should remember that.
And everything is set
up for the ceremony?
- Yes.
[tense music]
- --3:14, it says the partner
is the one who will fortify.
Yes, it is a day of providence.
- It's important.
- I have no idea
what's going to happen.
[tense music]
- Let's go outside.
- He's awake.
- Praise be to God.
- Good.
It's almost time
for the summoning.
I hope you're ready to
play your part, son.
I'll take that as a yes.
But first, we need
to purify you.
- [groans]
[tense music]
[thudding]
[moaning]
- Just like old
times, huh, Mace?
This would be a good
time to start confessing.
You're no use to
us unrepentant.
[whip cracking]
- [groaning]
- [screams]
- Listen, there's
something you need to know.
If this presence
really is gone--
- Oh, it is.
- --then this ritual, it'll
mean the end of everything.
- You hear that, Randall?
World is ending.
- That ain't any kind of news.
[laughs]
- You see, our souls can't be
saved unless there's a rapture.
You know that.
Shame on you, Father.
This is the thing
your pappy and me,
we never saw eye to eye on.
He never accepted end times.
But for us, God's
will is God's will.
We got no-- no say in it.
But we sure as sh*t going
to be the first ones saved.
- You think this
is what God wants?
- Ah, I guess you're back with
your old girlfriend now, huh?
Now, are you going
to start confessing,
or should I get Lloyd
here to paint the walls?
[tense music]
[g*n c*ck]
- Wait.
I'll do it.
- Start confessing now.
- [grunts]
Dear Lord, forgive me.
- Let it all out, son.
Let it all out.
- I have forsaken my father.
I questioned my beliefs.
[grunting]
I have lusted after a woman
contrary to the tenets
of the priesthood.
- Damn.
It's getting juicy.
- Holy father, forgive
me for my trespasses.
Purify me in your light.
Guide my actions away
from sin and temptation.
Talk to me in
clarity and focus,
and I shall be your loyal
soldier in the never ending
struggle against darkness.
Amen.
- Amen to that.
Prep him.
- Bear witness and be saved.
[slicing]
[tense music]
[creaking]
- What'd you do to this place?
- Oh, we don't worship
here much no more.
Spread our faith to less
conspicuous parishes
out in the community,
where our congregants all
know, when the great
tribulation occurs,
we will welcome here on the
homestead with open arms
until their time
of rapture comes.
[tense music]
Romans 3:21.
Only the righteous
shall see God.
[laughter]
- These are the elders
of the congregation.
They're bloody righteous.
Don't you worry.
Now start summoning.
[wind howling]
[tense music]
- [sighs]
Holy Lord, God of power
and might,
I call upon thee.
And I summon thee from your
seat on high, the kingdom
of the eternal, to this
mortal plane to be one of us,
to live with us and die with us
as a being of flesh and blood.
- It's working.
Keep going.
- Allow me to be thy
shepherd, O Lord,
into the living vessel
that you have chosen
and to take form right
here in this very room.
- Cleanse us, Lord.
- I summon thee now,
Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah,
the Lord of Seven
Names, but for whom
there is only one power.
I stand humbly before you,
knowing that only the repentant
are allowed to gaze upon thee.
- We welcome your embrace.
- This is not a physical
door that I shall
open, but a portal
between this world
and the realm of the divine.
Join us here and now, Lord.
Bless us with your
exalted presence.
- I shall be the first
to lay eyes upon him.
Bless me with your power.
- [screams]
[faint whispering]
[gasps]
[groans, screams]
- [sighs]
[low rumbling]
[wind blowing]
[expl*si*n]
[panting]
[eerie music]
- It's too late, child.
The summoning is complete.
- [heavy breathing]
Lucifer, the Dark
Prince, author of sin,
lord of the damned, bless
us with your presence.
Anoint us with
your wicked power.
- Blasphemy.
- Bestow us with
your malevolence
and wash us in your sin.
The seed of the divine shall
not take root in this place.
Sin and immorality will
strangle it in its crib.
In the name of Lucifer and
the Lords of the Nine Circles,
I banish you from this place.
I cast thee out.
- For your sins--
your sins makes you vulnerable.
How dare you believe
it possible to match
the power of the Almighty?
- [screaming]
- Your soul shall
burn for all eternity.
- [screaming]
[tense music]
[wind blowing]
[footsteps]
- [rapid breathing]
- The eunuch has spoken.
- Don't sh**t!
[clicking]
[screams]
[g*nsh*t]
- You still have time, child.
Repent and be saved.
[g*nshots]
[g*n clicks]
[laughs]
- Tanis.
Tanis.
Tanis, no!
- [groaning]
[clanking]
[tense music]
- Dad.
[grunts]
- [groaning]
- You know what you need to do.
Our fathers have abdicated
their reign, Mason.
k*ll them now.
Save us all.
It's the only way
to prevent the end.
Do it, now, before they
regain their strength.
They have forsaken us, Mason.
There is no way to
regain their love.
[slashing]
- That was foolish, Mason.
You know as well
as I, this weapon
can only harm the divine.
- No matter how our
fathers have wounded us,
there is still a
part of them in us.
And there is still a part
of us seeking their love.
And I bet there's
still a glimmer
of the divine still beating
in that black heart of yours.
Go to hell.
[fire blazes]
[footsteps]
[tense music]
- The will of God
shall not be undone.
- With the blood of the
fallen, I cast thee out!
[dramatic music]
[explosions]
[creaking]
- Mace.
- [labored breathing]
I'm-- I'm sorry, son...
For everything.
- It's okay, pop.
It's okay.
It's okay.
[sighs]
[sighing]
[footsteps]
- [coughs]
[soft music]
- Why try and destroy
something so beautiful?

"Why Do I Hide"]
No excuses, no
I know the truth
is set in stone
And the w*r is over
Thank you, yes, thank you
For pickin' up
This one
Last time
Oh, 'cause I had to say
I'll never forget you
and all that we made
Sweet sour lemonade
I will never forget you
and all that we built
I have to say
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh, why do I hide?
Why do I hide?
All the sweet words, I
know it soothes your mind
Sweet poetry
Your favorite tree,
initials carved with a knife
Yes, I even the
greatest trees
Someday you fall
and turn to memories
But no excuses, no
Just let me say
what I couldn't say
I will never forget you
and all that we made
Sweet sour lemonade
I will never forget you
and all that we built
Nor are we split
I will never forget you
and all that we built
I had to say
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh, why do I hide?
Yeah, why do I hide?
