Original subtitles

[Philip] We beseech you, O Lord.

Show mercy on the souls of we who have sinned.

Forgive us for the weaknesses of our flesh,

and strengthen instead our spirits and our resolve.

Amen.

Your good works in this world.

Take us into your grace and forgive us our trespasses

even as you forgive those who have trespassed against us.

[breathing heavily]

Heavenly Father, grant peace to all

who've suffered at the hands of this man

who comes before you now for judgment.

Let them rest in your care

and find the justice that they could not find--

You got what you wanted, didn't you, Father?

I know this is all your doing, Philip.

You called police, you turned me in.

You're the only one that could do it.

You're the only one that knew.

You brought all this on yourself, Eric.

I didn't want this.

What did you think they'd do when you turned me in?

You killed people.

That's why you're here, not because of me.

I trusted you.

You betrayed me.

You broke your vows, Philip.

Look at me! You put me here.

You turned me in!

[straining]

I will not go to Hell, Philip.

I want absolution. You owe me that much.

I will ask you one last time.

Do you repent?

Are you truly sorry for your sins?

The only thing I'm sorry about

is that I trusted you with my soul.

Philip!

Absolve me.

Come on, Philip. Absolve me.

I know the words.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

My last confession...

You cannot live wrong and die right, Eric.

That's not the way it works.

Philip, where are you going now?

Philip, where are you going?

Absolve me! Absolve me!

-[door creaks] -[gasps]

-[door locking] -[breathing heavily]

It's time.

[breathing heavily]

[alarm blares]

[gas hissing]

[inaudible]

[breathing heavily]

[straining]

[Ravenwood] Philip, this isn't over. Philip.

I'll see you in Hell.

I'll take you there with me if I have to.

[John]Do you want to talk about it?

Philip.

Do you want to talk about it?

I'll be all right, John.

Just give me the night.

I'm here for you, Philip,

whenever you need me.

I know.

[Ravenwood] Philip.

Philip.

[indistinct demonic voices]

[demon] You cannot escape us.

Philip.

[thunderclap]

Ravenwood? But it can't be.

You've betrayed me.

You've denied me.

You've condemned me.

Undo what you've done.

Or my pain will be nothing compared to yours.

Please, no.

You know what you have to do, Philip.

Absolve me.

What have you done?

Absolve me!

What have you done?

-[indistinct demonic voices] -[police sirens wailing]

[laughs wickedly]

What have you done?

[officer] Freeze. Hold it right there.

[thunderclap]

[thunderclap]

Well, that looks interesting. What are you reading?

Oh, it's Guessing Games by Dr. Lee Glassman.

She's a friend of mine. She just got published,

so we all got advance copies.

It lets you know how to tell when somebody is lying.

-It must be very handy. -Look at this.

"The three most common reveals are

scratching the nose, rubbing the ear,

or looking off into the distance."

[phone ringing]

Sounds so fascinating.

Derek Rayne.

Derek, Frank Karmack here.

-Oh, hi, Frank. -Erm, listen, I don't mean to be crass,

but, uh, is Father Philip Callaghan

still a member of the Luna Foundation?

In spirit, he is.

But we haven't seen him for quite a while. Why?

[Frank]I'm afraid he's under arrest.

Uh, we picked him up tonight in Marlton.

-Picked him up? -For what?

Murder. Anonymous tip.

They're holding him at the Marlton jail.

Listen, I have friends at the precinct down there.

I can meet you in an hour.

All right, Frank.

My God, this poor man

can't find any peace in his life.

-I'll round up Nick and Alex. -All right.

[Frank] He's not looking very good, taking it very hard,

almost like he's in shock or something.

-Who's the victim? -Cheryl Cranford,

a young woman parishioner.

Looks like they were pretty good friends.

Listen, Derek, Father Callaghan has not talked

and he hasn't said a word since he got here.

He's not helping his case

by refusing to answer questions.

-Well, let me try to talk to him. -Okay.

[Derek] Philip.

What in God's name has happened?

Why is this man here?

I don't know him.

Philip.

I know you're not capable of what

they're accusing you of.

Whatever happened, we're here to help you.

Philip.

Talk to me.

[door opens]

[Nick]I thought Philip had returned to Belfast.

[Derek] Yeah, so did I.

Apparently, he was reassigned and came back.

He didn't even tell us about it.

Well, it's not surprising

considering the way he feels about The Legacy.

Oh, he speaks to no one. Not even a lawyer.

Well, maybe I should try. I mean, he's always felt

pretty comfortable talking to me.

No, you should've seen the look on his face.

He has no intentions of talking to anyone.

I could see it in his eyes, though.

He's afraid.

He wants to tell the truth but he can't for some reason.

Maybe he's in shock.

Or he's too embarrassed to face us.

-Remember Jeffrey Zaun? -[Alex] Who?

He was a fighter pilot in Desert Storm

who got shot down and taken hostage.

He was all over the TV. They beat the hell out of him.

He couldn't say anything, right?

I mean, he's on television in front of the whole world

and he can't say a single thing

about the situation that he's in.

'Cause just off-screen,

they've got guns trained on him.

And so we couldn't see the danger he was in,

and he couldn't tell us about it.

So you think that Philip...

is in some kind of danger that we can't see.

It's possible, right?

Time is running out for everyone, Philip.

I saw you die. You're not real.

[Ravenwood] I'm as real as you are.

What do you want from me?

Why have you come back?

They've come to get me, Philip, all because of you.

I can feel them trying to pull me down into the ground.

[indistinct demonic voices]

Can you hear them?

Don't leave me alone.

You know what they are.

No, I don't.

It's Hell, calling out to me. Demons.

They're coming to get me, but I don't wanna go.

You can still help me, Philip.

No, Eric.

You had a chance to repent and you killed again.

You murdered an innocent young girl in cold blood.

Forget about her.

That was nothing.

I will kill a hundred times over if you don't undo this.

I can't help you.

Absolve me.

God will not grant you forgiveness you do not deserve.

Absolve me, Philip, please.

You must show remorse.

You wanna play games with me, Philip?

You'll lose.

You need more death to wake you up?

Your betrayal convinced me, Philip,

the world can do with fewer priests.

And I'm gonna start with the ones that you know.

John.

My God.

I need a guard in here!

Help me!

I need a guard!

[wind whooshing]

[John] No!

The arraignment's over. Prosecutor's going for murder one,

but I don't think he'll get it

based on the evidence he's got.

They set bail at $200,000.

-[whistles] -All right, they'll accept a check, won't they?

From you, I'll arrange it.

That's not necessary.

The diocese has taken care of it.

Did somebody check on Father John Murphy like I asked?

Yeah, we sent over a unit and no signs of foul play.

But did somebody talk to him? Did somebody see him?

I told you, Father, there was no one home.

Oh.

[sighs in relief] Philip, hey.

Hey, what's going on?

I'm sorry. I can't talk right now.

Father Murphy is in danger. I got to go find him right now.

All right. We'll go together.

Cheryl Cranford's mother

is talking to the police right now. When she's finished,

why don't you talk to her, hmm?

-Console her. -Okay.

John.

Father Murphy?

Are you here?

Maybe he went to the video store or something.

I mean, priests do that, don't you?

[Philip scoffs]

I told you he was in danger.

Can you, uh, get the keys

to all the doors around here?

Good.

-Let's search the place top to bottom. -Let's do it.

Excuse me, Abby Cranford?

What do you want?

I'm really sorry about your daughter.

I'm Alex Moreau and this is Dr. Corrigan.

We'd like to talk to you about it if we could.

Look, I've already told you people everything I know.

Well, we're not with the police.

Then why should I talk to you?

Actually we're friends of Father Callaghan's.

You don't think he's guilty, do you?

No, I don't.

Father Callaghan's been a friend

of the family's for a while.

He couldn't have done this.

Do you know anyone who would want to harm your daughter?

No, I don't.

Listen, I just went through this with the police upstairs.

Why do I have to go through it again?

Because sometimes we find things that the police can't.

Well, I told them.

Cheryl didn't have any enemies.

None.

Look,

I really have to go.

I have to make arrangements for my daughter's funeral.

Of course.

You know what?

Maybe we've been looking at this from the wrong angle.

Maybe it wasn't that someone was trying

to harm Cheryl and Philip got in the way.

Maybe they were trying to harm Philip and Cheryl got in the way.

[Philip] Oh, my God.

[Nick] Someone's been digging down here.

Help me.

[Nick] Come on, let's pry it up from here.

-Listen, ready? -[Derek] Yeah.

[all grunts]

[sighs grimly]

Oh, sweet Jesus.

[indistinct chatter]

It's only a preliminary estimate

but the coroner estimates the time of death around 11:30 last night.

The MO matches the Cheryl Cranford murder.

Strangulation.

Should help the case for Philip's innocence here

since he was in custody at the time.

You didn't really believe he was guilty, did you?

Well, no, I didn't, but they did find him with the girl's body.

[Nick] You know, somebody's trying to frame him.

Yeah, there's more to it.

And Philip knows what it is.

I think it's time that he told us.

If you come up with anything,

you let me know, I'll pass it on.

If you're hiding from us, Philip,

it's a big mistake.

If you're trying to protect us, brother,

we don't need it.

Let us help you.

[Philip] Eric Ravenwood feels he must take vengeance upon me.

And I knew by association,

all of you would be in danger.

I didn't want to put you at risk.

Ravenwood. This is the guy

they gassed the other night, right?

His murdering ghost. Derek, how can this be happening?

Well, you yourself know the power of belief, Philip.

Ravenwood's secret lies in the strength of his conviction.

These things can be sufficient

to bring him back if he feels strongly that he has...

unfinished business in this world.

He called on me to absolve him

at the last moment, but he showed no remorse.

And I refused.

Unfinished business.

There's more to it, isn't there?

Years ago, he came to me to confess.

He took great pleasure in telling me

all the gory details of his crimes.

And I couldn't tell anyone because of the sanctity of the confessional.

I was torn apart.

Finally, I called the police. Anonymously, of course.

But Ravenwood knew.

He knew I had broken a sacred trust.

What, by doing the right thing?

You did the right thing so far as I'm concerned.

If those are the rules that you guys are living by,

then, uh, you should, uh...

reconsider your membership in the club.

Ravenwood feels he could still escape

from Hell if I absolve him.

Look, I don't mean any disrespect,

but why don't you just absolve the wacko

I can't give him absolution if he doesn't show repentance.

So you're gonna involve yourself

in some kind of a Mexican standoff until one of you crumbles?

At the cost of how many people's lives?

Philip was right not to absolve him.

There was no telling what Ravenwood might do.

There was no guarantee that Philip's absolution will settle this matter.

It could empower Ravenwood and make this whole problem worse.

We have to find another way.

[indistinct demonic voices]

-[gasps] -[demon] Escape us.

-[glass breaks] -[groans in pain]

You think you're gonna deny me, Philip?

Or you're gonna try and wait it out

until they drag me down to Hell, aren't you?

No.

I want absolution, Philip, I need it.

I'm gonna be all over you and your friends

and your whole world until I get it.

[EKG beeping]

How is he?

Well, lost a bit of blood, but he'll survive.

Nick and I will take turns in standing guard

in case this Ravenwood shows up again.

-The serial killer? I thought he was dead. -He is.

Still slamming your head into mirrors, I see, huh?

I want you to get any information

you can on this Eric Ravenwood.

He's haunting Philip. He's determined

that Philip should absolve him for his sins.

-[Alex] Here we go. -[sighs wearily]

He really believes that Philip's absolution can keep him out of Hell.

If we could just contain Eric within the cage of a physical body,

we stand a chance of controlling him, exorcising him.

-Yeah. -No.

Derek, it's my responsibility.

-[Alex] Philip, come on. Come on, relax. -[sighs]

[sighs wearily]

[crows cawing]

This guy was an absolute monster.

Yeah, most of that information comes

from the one woman to ever escape him, Tara Molinski.

[grunts]

It was Philip who was responsible for saving her life.

His tip got the cavalry here just in time.

[door creaks]

Well, normally I'd say, "Ladies first," but...

It's all right.

We're big girls.

[coughs]

[Frank] Well, this is it.

Practically nothing has changed.

He'd bring his victims home here

and talk to them on this couch.

Atypical.

Usually serial killers don't try

to form relationships of any sort with their victims.

-They objectify them. -Mmm.

Less human, less guilt.

Yeah, Ravenwood had a big beef against just about

every element of the human race,

and a compulsion to share it.

Yeah, I read about this case.

Yeah, he'd sit right here

on the couch and talk about the world.

How awful it was. [sniffs]

How nobody cares anymore. Apathy everywhere you look.

And then he'd...

he'd take them there.

Deeper into his home.

Because it was time now

for him to get personal.

Time to reveal some things.

He showed them his room, didn't he?

Yeah, he did.

Yeah, his room.

It's a comfortable place for him.

[door creaks]

A place he could philosophize,

explain a few things.

Oh, God.

[Frank] This is it.

This is where he killed them.

All six of them died here in this house.

Those were the six we definitely know of.

There might have been others.

Was he abused as a child?

Social services investigated his parents several times.

His father locked him in closets

and trunks as punishment.

Sometimes for days at a time. His mother wouldn't help.

The authorities couldn't prove anything,

but the investigators knew.

And when Eric grew up,

he knew that they knew.

And he couldn't understand why nobody helped him.

[rattling]

Oh.

It's so sad, so ironic.

He was striking back

-by doing exactly what was done to him. -[match box rattling]

He said he killed to wake people up.

To make them realize how much evil there was in the world.

He buried his victims alive.

Where did they find the bodies?

Downstairs in the basement.

You two seen enough?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Now what exactly are we looking for?

Cabalistic rituals, ancient prayers, or incantations.

Derek seems to think that if we could get Ravenwood's ghost

into a living being, we might be able to exorcise him tomorrow.

Hey, didn't Philip say that, uh...

there was a force in Ravenwood

that was trying to pull him down to Hell?

Yeah, but he's resisting it.

Yeah, only 'cause he's still strong.

Look, if we could somehow weaken him,

weaken his resolve,

then maybe that force would finish him off.

What do you think?

Use it, push him towards it. That's a good idea.

Maybe we could get the bad guys

to work for us for a change, right?

They can have the guy.

I think he's beyond redemption myself.

Look, I'm gonna go back to the hospital

and take over for Derek. You guys gonna come along?

Oh, we wanna work on this for a little bit, but we can meet you later.

Be careful.

[chuckles]

Okay, look at this.

[EKG beeping]

My God, you're bone dry.

I'm calling the nurse.

So I guess you're wondering how you got here, huh?

I'm wondering how any of us got here.

How we were called to this work,

to The Legacy.

How, no matter how hard I try to get away from it,

it always seems to find me again.

Well, something larger at work.

Destiny, I suppose.

We make some choices in life and some are forced on us,

but you did the right thing, Philip.

Stop second-guessing yourself, okay?

Seems to be part of my nature.

Where's that nurse?

Okay, I'll be right back. Don't move.

Oh, don't you worry. I'm not going anywhere.

[indistinct demonic voices]

Look at what they're doing to me, Philip.

Look at it!

They sneak up on me when I'm not ready.

They're trying to pull me down.

But I'm fighting them, Philip.

I'm holding them off.

And I'm counting on you for my final relief.

Derek! [gags]

You don't get the message, do you? Who else has to die?

How about that Alex, huh?

She's a pretty thing.

Then the doctor.

I can arrange for you to watch if you like.

[gulps] Leave them alone!

I'm gonna kill everyone that's close to you,

before I let them take me to Hell.

None of this is gonna stop until you absolve me

so you make a decision and stop it right now,

before you run out of friends.

[grunts]

You must kneel down.

Yeah, I'll kneel down.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,

Eric Ravenwood, I command thee through God.

-What are you doing? -My soul for yours.

Your body for mine.

No!

[whooshes]

[demonic voices fade]

[wind blowing]

[car horns honking]

God forgive me.

[Ravenwood] No.

Oh, no.

Not so fast, Father.

I just noticed it.

Get security. Father Callaghan is missing.

-What happened? -I think he's gone.

What do you mean? What the hell happened?

Well, I left the room for no more than a minute,

then don't ask me how or where, but...

-he's gone. -Perfect.

[nurse] Security.

[Rachel] Considering Ravenwood

committed most of these murders in his home,

I figure there's a good chance that's where he's gonna go.

Well, maybe we should stake the place out, set a trap...

[exclaiming in horror]

-Oh, God. -Alex?

[gasps]

[door creaks]

Rachel, stop. Stop the car.

Okay.

[exclaiming in horror]

[Philip] Eric!

Philip.

He, he's in trouble.

No, no, no. Philip's at the hospital.

Nick and Derek are with him. He's okay.

No, no, no.

He's at Ravenwood's.

Ravenwood's with him.

[breath trembling]

We've got to get there.

Okay, hold on.

-All right. -[dialing]

-Hello? -Derek,

-is Philip with you? -No, he's not here.

He's gone. He disappeared from the hospital.

Alex just had a very strong episode.

She's sure that Philip is with Ravenwood and they're at his house.

Talk to her.

Derek, I felt it.

I know he's there.

Listen, we're close. We can get there before you.

Alex, don't go there. Whatever you do,

don't go there. Let us handle it.

Derek, there's no time to argue about it.

We have to get there or he's gonna kill Philip.

-Damn it. -[cell phone beeps]

[door creaks]

What? Alex, what?

Philip's down there, I know it.

Help me, help me.

Move back.

[grunting]

Philip!

Philip?

[exclaims in horror]

Eric!

-[groans] -Alex!

Are you all right?

Alex?

Oh, God.

It's just like Karmack described it.

This is where he buried his victims alive.

Philip?

Where are you?

Philip, are you there?

-[banging] -[screaming]

[gasping]

Ah...

Oh, God.

Oh! [breathing heavily]

[gasps]

Philip.

Oh, God. Philip.

Oh, you're okay. Oh, thank God.

Rachel and I...

You don't know how much I would love to sit and talk with you.

But I have a very busy day ahead of me.

-[grunts] -[groans in pain]

I don't know where he is, Frank.

But if you could swing by the church, that'd be appreciated.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'll check it out.

All right, we're gonna try the Ravenwood place.

Alex had a feeling that he might go there.

I'm on my way.

Call Alex and Rachel back.

See where they are. We have to stop them

from going to Ravenwood's place.

-Right. -[dialing]

[cell phone ringing]

Shh.

[cell phone beeps]

-Hello? -[Nick] Philip?

Nick, yeah.

What the hell are you doing? Are you with Rachel and Alex?

Yeah, I'm here with them. Something's gone wrong.

What are you talking about?

Is Derek with you?

Where are Rachel and Alex?

They're here. They're hurt.

You guys, you've got to get over here

right away, please.

-Hurry. -[cell phone beeps]

[banging]

Help!

[muffled] Help, help.

-[sizzles] -[gasps] Help.

-Help! -[banging]

[door creaks]

[Nick] Philip.

My God.

[moans]

-Are you all right? -What happened?

Help me up.

Eric, he blindsided us.

I saw him, Derek. He's here.

I think he's got Rachel and Alex.

Okay. Go with Nick, stay with him.

Check the basement. I'll look upstairs.

All right.

-You'll be okay? -All right.

-All right, let's go. -Okay.

[gun cocking]

Stay back.

This is my fight, Nick, not yours.

I know. Just stay back.

[door creaks]

Look at this place.

[muffled screaming]

Listen.

-[banging] -[muffled screams]

Oh.

Come on, Philip, help me.

[muffled screaming continues]

Phil.

-[grunts] -[groans in pain]

[Derek] Nick.

Nick!

You find anything?

Nick.

[muffled screaming]

[gun cocking]

I've never used a gun before.

Such a lazy way to kill, don't you think?

I mean, anybody can pull a trigger.

It doesn't take a lot of imagination or courage.

You know what I mean?

So you're Ravenwood now, aren't you?

It doesn't matter what you know anymore.

I got what I want. I'm alive.

I don't need no absolution.

You were alive a few days ago.

Why was it so important then?

I was scared.

I was afraid I was gonna go to Hell.

But I had a long chat with God,

and we sorted it all out. He understands.

Understands what? That you're murdering people?

Sacrificing.

In every war, there must be sacrifices.

Some die, so others may live. That's all right.

And now you must die.

No one is taking away my second chance.

Not you, nobody.

And what about your other victims?

Victims?

They died in a noble cause.

I've got to wake people up.

I've got to make them realize how much evil is in the world.

Evil?

You're the purest form of it.

You think you can fool me, but you can't.

I am right.

Derek?

[both grunting]

[groans]

[screaming]

Nick, find something to jam the lock!

-In the name of the Father... -[Philip] No, no, no!

...the Son, and the Holy Spirit...

[Philip] Derek, no.

They're coming for me.

[screaming]

In the name of the Most Holy Trinity--

-[Philip] No! -[gun firing]

Empty.

I command thee,

[whooshing]

Eric Ravenwood, to leave the body

of Philip Callaghan.

In the name of all saints,

I command you, go back to Hell, where you belong.

[groans]

-[wind howling] -[screaming]

[Ravenwood] No!

Philip, you all right?

-Why don't you get up. -Where are we?

-Help him out. -Up you go.

-Start digging. -[Nick] Yeah.

[panting]

[strains]

-[grunts] -[panting]

-[gasps in shock] -Rachel.

-It's okay, it's okay. -[whimpering]

[breathing heavily]

Oh, my God.

-[Nick] Come on. You all right, honey? -[Rachel] Oh, God.

-[whimpering] -Oh.

-Oh, God. -You all right?

[softly] Yes, I am.

Oh.

[police sirens wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

I don't know how I feel, to tell you the truth.

In my heart, I think I did the right thing,

but Derek, I violated a sacred trust.

Well, I suppose you have to work it out

with your superiors in the church.

I suppose I have to work it out with myself first.

I don't know, maybe Nick was right.

Maybe I need to reconsider my membership in the church again.

You can't always go by the rules.

Any organization's rules.

The bottom line is, you told the truth.

That's the important thing.

That and your friendship with us.

So wherever you go,

remember, we're always here for you, Philip.

Always.

Thanks.

[door opens, closes]

[Philip] That night was oneofthe most difficult in my life,

and one of the most difficult for my friends at The Legacy.

I thank the Lord that it ended as it did,

and no more innocent people died.

This guilt I feel for hurting others is overwhelming.

I pray that somewhere

in his dark heart and troubled soul,

Eric Ravenwood felt it too.

He never really understood

that only God can grant absolution.

And onlywhen there is true repentance.
