Previously on The Exorcist.

You're not chasing.

Give me your hands.

It's time for you to pray.

Come on.

Father.

Two moms from Saint Anthony.

How do you know that?

Who do you think sends you all those wonderful

fundraising letters you throw straight into the trash?

It's a shame you got yourself kicked out of Chicago.

You have some friends in this town. So how do you know that?

I assume you're making a connection to the whole Englewood murders.

Yeah. There were organs of those organs.

They're only used for one reason a summoning.

You don't understand.

You can't stop this beast.

It's for her own good.

Seven. Two. Four.

This is dispatch.

Over.

I call that a nervous breakdown.

I ran away from all that.

I never told my mother where I went.

I never saw her again.

My name is Regan Pinkney.

I'm Chris McNeil.

I've come to see my daughter.

It's a terrifying book.

I couldn't sleep after I read it.

Try living through it.

For those just tuning in.

We're with actress Chris McNeil talking about miss McNeil's new book,

The Devil in My Daughter, which she says is the true story of a time

several years ago when young Reagan was possessed by a demon.

Now, Reagan, I'd like to ask you a few questions, if I may.

Though your mother has warned me that you're a little shy

and quiet,

not shy.

There's a difference.

What happened to you in Georgetown?

Since most of our viewers don't believe in demon possession.

Can you help me?

Help us understand what you went through.

I don't really remember it. You do?

She does.

I remember that

I couldn't control my body sometimes.

There's just this voice.

It kept asking me to come closer.

And when I.

That's it.

That's all I remember.

Reagan.

Has it occurred to you that there could be another explanation for those memories?

Maybe your mind is playing tricks.

I was.

No, I'm positive it was real.

Reagan, do you think you'll ever be capable of having a normal life?

What do you mean?

Well, let's say you go to college in a few years.

You get there, you tell everyone.

I'm Reagan MacNeil.

Are you worried that they'll all say, oh, my God, it's the demon girl?

Do you think this is a story that's going to follow you around

for the rest of your life?

Reagan.

Reagan. Oh.

Man. I

can't believe you let her in the house.

What was I supposed to do?

She seems like so.

My grandmother.

You at word?

Maybe.

Well, I don't know.

Would you like to call me Nana?

Or maybe together we could come up with something cute.

I'll think about that.

You don't think that's what you do?

You know, you look like a kind of person. Me?

Good people ever say that to you?

That you look like a young Chris McNeil?

No. Not really.

Well, you do.

You have my teeth.

Exactly. Contact with your mouth.

And if you smile, we could see the same thing.

You just didn't. You don't think I wanted to tell you?

You told me she was dead.

She was to me.

And I know that doesn't make it right.

I'm wondering if any of it was the truth.

Any any of this? Henry.

Not to get all Oprah in the first hour, but

did you ever try to find us or find mom?

I went to three private detectives.

Finally, they tracked her down.

How would you feel?

But she made it very clear that she still wanted nothing to do with me.

To do?

But now I have a

a web service thingy

that lets me know if anything happens to her.

And I saw Cassie's face, and I listened to your mother

say that she wanted help finding her.

So know you're right.

You don't know what it was like to live with that woman.

To live in her fishbowl.

To meet somebody for the first time and see that pity in their eyes.

And that makes it okay? No.

But I made a choice, and I had to live with it every day.

Reagan.

That's your name?

What is that?

Who are you?

The possession

moms.

Was it.

What was it like now?

Like with Cassie?

Yeah.

Like I hope not.

I'm the one who called the police.

Cassie wouldn't be out on the streets right now if.

Stop! No, stop!

This is not your fault.

She can stay with us for a few days. No.

No. That woman cannot stay here.

Don't get to make that decision.

This is not about you.

This is about our little girl who is missing.

Do you think I don't remember that ever?

If that woman can help us get Cassie back because she's Kris McNeal.

So crazy.

If there's even a chance we're going to take it.

I'll stay in a hotel.

I don't want to be bothered. You can stay right here.

And not ready.

Hey, Kit Kat, do you mind giving up your bed for a few nights?

Yeah, sure.

You want to show your grandmother upstairs?

Kris?

We're calling her Kris.

Good morning.

Our top local story.

Police and volunteers have fanned out across Chicago searching for Cassie Rance,

the 19 year old woman who went missing last night after a crash that left

two paramedics dead.

Hey, let me give you a hand with that father.

Say another stack.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't really have something here, but.

Okay.

Why don't I take the 14th District Court?

Okay.

So we can

get these.

Stuff.

And I hope you stop hovering.

Can you show me how to use a copy machine?

Come. Sure. This way.

I know this is a

rotten time of the year, but I'm a huge fan of yours too.

Sweet.

What's your name? Tara.

Yeah.

Anybody else might say

I'm sorry

you let us walk into that room with incomplete information. Now.

Two men are dead. You lied.

What are the police telling you?

That there was someone else.

An accomplice. Kidnaper.

Because they think there's no way in restraints.

The girl could have done what you did.

What's going to happen to her?

Possession is like a virus.

You know this.

The more aggressive the attack, the more damage it does to the body.

It'll force her to submit.

And when that happens,

a union of demon and host

two entities becoming one.

Integration.

Integration. It's had to be

permanent.

Permanent.

The soul is destroyed.

So even if you performed an exorcism, it wouldn't matter.

Are you saying she's going to die?

I'm saying if we don't find us soon,

I won't be anything left to say.

You can't give up on us.

No one will give up on her father.

When the same thing happened to me.

You know, I thought there was none of me left.

But I was done there.

Is there anything that you remember

that could be of help to us?

Hey, you know what?

You have a good think about that, because we've really got the time. To.

You could have shown more compassion for her and apologize for that.

Where are you going? To hunt. Hunt?

What do you mean, hunt?

Demons disrupt the natural order.

Strange flocking behavior. Birds.

Dogs. People.

What I need is a bloody police scanner.

What can I do? You.

Because I made one mistake.

Yeah, because you made a mistake.

It won't happen again.

You're right.

That I am the new Thomas.

You've got a family, a parish, a woman that you lost

your past. Now.

You're a good man,

a good priest.

You've got too much to lose.

You can never be an exorcist.

Well, I'm going to hunt, too.

Only you have 100 volunteers and half the Chicago police.

Bully for you.

The kidnaping of Casey Rance has shaken our city.

But this case is receiving the full attention of my department.

The person or persons responsible for her disappearance will be brought to justice.

The family has asked me

to let you know how grateful we are for your prayers tonight.

We need more than that.

We need your help.

The parish of Saint Anthony's is offering $100,000 reward

for information leading to Casey's recovery.

So if you see or hear anything that might help us,

please call us.

Superintendent. Mrs. Rance.

You could say one thing to Casey. Sake.

Leave her alone.

Have some decency.

McNeil, can you tell us what your involvement in this matter is?

Casey is my granddaughter.

She wrote a book.

I'm here with our family and her daughter.

She's.

What about the nine people who got murdered half a mile from here?

Poor people of color.

Guess that's all right with your department, superintendent.

I guess because we don't have any movie stars backing us.

None of y'all with the cameras giving officer Sandon

point your damn cameras in this direction.

Get your lights on the station.

We don't have any reward money,

but they're people to.

Their Chicago to.

Andre.

Christopher. William.

Lydia.

Denise Williams.

Randall.

James McAllister.

Fonda.

Dolly.

McAllister.

Danielle McAllister.

Simpson.

Hakim. Mohammed.

Harborside.

James.

Anthony.

Simpson.

Patricia.

Walsh.

Anna Mae Walsh.

Forgive me for asking questions.

You've already answered.

Mr. Rance, the night that Casey was put in the ambulance,

a man was taken into custody. A priest.

That's right.

It's my understanding that he performed a an exorcism here.

Yes, with our permission.

But not the permission of the church,

which we've

managed to keep out of the papers as a favor to our friends in the diocese.

I'm a Catholic myself.

Thank you.

Just the one priest?

Yes. Yes.

We'd like to speak with this Marcus Kane again.

How is that supposed to help you find my daughter?

Is he okay there? Yes.

He's fine.

He's recovering from a brain injury.

We're doing everything in our power to find your girl, Mrs.

Rance.

And that's easier when we present a unified front to the media.

Rumors about possession tend to confuse the issue.

I don't know where Marcus is.

Maybe you can shed little light on something else.

We've been investigating this case as a kidnaping, but

I understand that your daughter broke a man's jaw in the El.

And then was held in the psych ward at Adams Memorial.

It's not possible that

she could have done this, is it?

I'm not sure.

I think that's possible. Mr. Burns, please.

We're not trying to upset you here. I apologize for.

That they have families.

Mr. Harris, did

a wife and a kid.

Another one on the way.

Reagan, do you think you'll ever be capable of having a normal life?

What do you mean?

Well, let's say you go to college in a few years.

You get there, you tell everyone. I'm Reagan MacNeil.

Are you worried he'll all say.

My God, it's the demon girl.

I see you know about the book.

Not my finest hour.

I think you need to know what was going on back then.

The scandal of it all.

Protesters showing him the theater.

My first movie back.

Devil worshiper, Satan's whore.

That was mild.

You know the expression.

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Well, the studio didn't agree with that, and they dropped me.

So sometimes

you just have to do what you do to survive.

Why do you think it happened?

Why did it choose her?

We were staying in this house, and,

there was an old Ouija board down in the basement.

She loved it.

It was so cute to watch.

Riggs just sitting there talking to her imaginary friend.

Someone.

Something

called Captain Howdy.

Damn.

Came.

Dealing with those kinds of forces.

Anyway, she loved it.

She kept playing with it.

And I told her she really should stop.

And I was.

I was the lead in the film, and we were doing five

scenes a day, and I just couldn't be there every hour or so. She.

She didn't listen.

I don't know.

Kind of sounds like you're blaming the victim.

I mean, she was just a kid.

She didn't do anything wrong.

She didn't ask for any of this.

No. I mean, of course she didn't.

It was my fault.

My child needed me, and I wasn't there.

And that is something that I have to live with.

The rest of my.

Yes, ma'am.

$100,000 reports.

I'm so sorry.

I probably should have told you what I was using it for.

It was a donation.

It's your money.

I think it's a terrific use for it.

I happen to know the girl's mother tangentially.

She's suffering a great deal.

I can only imagine

daughter possessed by a demon on

the surface.

She wanted to perform and not tell Bishop again.

It was exorcism. Right.

I really cannot talk about it.

I know it's an overwhelming time.

There's an event this evening at my house, sponsored

by the Friars of Ascension charity and honoring the papal planning committee.

Yes, yes.

Bishop Egan asked me to go there, but

I really need to be here.

You'll meet a lot of influential people, Tomas.

You might make a few friends.

I'm not looking for friends.

I'm looking for Casey.

Sorry.

You have a visitor.

You're right.

Of course.

Forget I mentioned that.

I'm sure you have better things to do.

Thank you, Mrs. Walters.

Maria. Maria?

Yeah. Of course.

He's all yours.

Tatasciore.

Landscaping

filed for bankruptcy 2004.

Shuttered. Closed. End of story. Right.

I'm guessing not.

Three years ago, Tattersalls assets were acquired by Walters Industrial Holdings.

As in George and Maria Walters.

We checked with the state board.

No business license is ever renewed.

You mean you want any?

Why are there vans

all over town for a landscaping company that went out of business a decade ago?

You guys asked about what's weird in this town.

Tattersall is the big freaking weird.

Van drives up. Van takes you away.

No one ever sees you again. Poof.

And there's more.

They're very active in their charitable giving.

1.8 million to the Friars of Ascension.

The friars are sponsoring this papal event tonight.

What do you make of all this?

Yo, Colin Firth, Colin Firth.

No, it's not the scruffy Edward Guinness.

One girl, four days missing in this city of 3 million people.

Finding her may not be God's.

Well.

I don't care about God's will.

You. Place her as hotline.

Do you think God is punishing you?

For this?

You were such a bad little girl, Reagan.

You wanted me in you.

So did your pretty little daughter.

But now I fear the bloom is off the rose.

Please

don't harm her daughter.

I could give her back to you

if you really want.

Are you sure you still want her?

I do.

Please.

All right.

What if I just told you where she is?

Where is she?

Right behind you.

I'm sorry I didn't call you back.

I needed to

think about what to say.

To you feel guilty?

I'm not going to apologize for being happy.

I think

I think the world owes us

a little happiness.

I have two keys.

Responsibilities to the church, to the.

To the man's family.

I moved out.

The marriage is over.

Probably has been for a long time.

I rented a tiny apartment in Rogers Park.

You can come to this room.

It's a place where there's no guilt, no shame

in the furniture either.

But it's a place where I'm not married.

And you're not a priest.

Leave everything else outside.

I'm not going to come.

It's to.

I'm gonna.

I was up at my work.

Henry.

You okay?

Who is that woman?

The one in your photo album.

The one you always said was your mother.

I found a restraining.

The singer's.

There's so many gaps.

One thing I could always hang on to.

Is you and the girls.

And now I find out that half what he told me

and Henry.

Look at me.

Our life, our family.

It's not a lie.

It's real.

Every second

has been a real.

I've never lied to you about that.

But you didn't trust me enough to tell me.

Even after it started to happen to Casey.

Who painted these?

This is the wrong phone number.

I told you, I told you, but this one has a wrongful number.

And someone printed 500 of them.

Please call us.

I'm sorry. Your neighbor. Who is this lawn naked?

How does that help us find Casey Reynolds? Like.

I'm sorry.

You know, pack of wild dogs going crazy in your neighborhood.

For these dogs.

We simply

pay for clipping university walls between them.

Haleakala, Teton.

National center to your eminence and Father Benson.

So happy to have you.

So glad to see. You.

There's a common sentimental notion

that angels are all around us solving little domestic problems.

But in the Bible, when humans encounter

an angel, they fall to their knees in fear.

These are beings of tremendous power.

Think of the first renegade angels in league with Lucifer.

They were strong enough to challenge God.

And surely God.

After John, Rex wrote. If this would occur.

One of the professors you see is Divinity school. God.

And incredible created these rogue angels knowing that they would defile.

Because what was the end result of this defiance?

Lucifer came to Earth in the guise of a serpent.

Very good.

I've seen that man before. On Sunday schools.

The police superintendent.

A lot of influential people support the friars.

It's the head of the Teamsters.

The head of our stock exchange.

And what did we gain from that famous snake?

Knowledge.

Free will.

The ability to think for ourselves.

Which led to everything you see now in this room.

Civilization, art, culture, music,

life.

In some strange way,

these rogue angels were the architects

of all that we hold dear.

Sweet Christmases were hard.

My birthday was really hard.

But I'm, to be honest with you, the most painful moments

of the last 40 years were

when I would think about what our lives could have been if,

you know, this hadn't happened.

And when you first heard Casey was missing,

did you see a connection to what happened to Reagan?

Angela. Good. You're here.

And so this is Tim.

He's doing an article for the metro section.

You need to leave my house now.

Angela, don't be silly.

He's gonna keep her name out there.

Miss Rance, if I could just have five minutes up.

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help.

You should go pack up your things.

If we ever hope

to see Casey's face again, we have to keep her in the news.

My daughter is missing.

My family is falling apart, and I refuse to allow you to make this about you.

This is exactly what you did to me before.

What have I ever done to love you?

You used me.

Could you, could you explain what happened to me?

To my body.

And for what?

Just to save your precious acting career.

I had no money, Reagan.

I did the best I could.

And for what?

You were my whole world.

And you left me.

And I had to live knowing that I had driven

you away.

Oh, God.

Spent the next 12 years sipping

peach schnapps and downing Xanax.

And Sedona.

You knew where I was.

Sedona.

Palmdale.

Circular.

Yeah.

I always know.

This Angela Rance.

Who is it?

All right.

Yes, I know where that is.

Goodbye.

It was, the coroner's office,

and they think they might have found Casey.

No, the sheriff.

You were so out of the four of us.

I hope

you will be rewarded.

Professor.

Forgive me.

These angels you brought up in your lecture

is another word to describe them. Demons.

Call them that if you like.

If you recall from seminary,

that term derives from the Greek word for a nature spirit.

Have you ever seen a demon before?

I have.

Aren't you full of surprises?

Yeah.

I never got a chance to know Casey.

I don't know if is Casey.

I could have for a lot harder to stay in Regan's life.

Mark.

Don't you do what I did.

You hold on to the people you love you

the most.

It's not her.

It's not her. Oh!

Just what?

We're.

Just. Oh.

Six turned.

Casey.

Red. Yeah.

I see.

What?

I was.

I can't help.

It's not. I'm sorry.

That's.

That's. Not.

That's not.

Casey.

It's not.

To Sarah.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

It's.

It's.

Time.

Stop!

Stop it! Stop!

Stop it! Stop it!

I don't want to hurt.

Stop it!

Oh, God.

Come on! Get out of here!

He ran.

In the name of Christ.

Oh, Lord.

Hey! Stay!

Okay.

Keep me posted.

Girl in the morgue.

It's not her.

Your people need to find her before anyone else does.

That was low.

Hello? Oh. What am I missing?

He's here.

And you're here to the Friars of Ascension.

What a day it's been.

This afternoon at the farmer's market.

There was a pyramid of Granny Smiths and all that green pride.

And I looked into the eyes of the man who wore these apples.

And he saw my car, and he said, take any one you want, father.

So I put my hand into the center of that pile

and took the best, knocking dozens of the rest to the ground.

He said,

that's okay, father.

I don't see Father Thomas here.

He'll be a tough nut to crack, your eminence.

We have our ways.

You came?

Yes. Let me.

Reasonable cell phone here.

Watch.

Through time.

Here.

I cannot sleep with you.

I can't.

It's a fine set.

I just made dinner.

It's, butternut

squash. Yes.

Have you all

come to me of your own free will?

We have.

Using the birthright of self-will

handed down to you by your true father.

But I am so pleased to.

Well, Carter,

the pavilion.

Star of the morning.

Son of God,

we beseech you and your legion to rise

and walk among us.

Come, come, come, come,

come and

come forth, my brothers, my sisters, to eat.

And then get our bodies and

your body.

Please come home.

Come. To.

Bed with me.

I refuse to.

I am here to.

It is my turn to.

I'm waiting.

Take.

Make me take me.

And. You.

Have to do me

for free.

I. It's my.

I have serve the Lord always before me.

Because he is at my right hand.

I shall not be moved.

Therefore, my heart is glad

and my glory rejoices.

With.

The mercy.

I take home this water with your creator.

So your child may be born again.

In the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

Be buried with Christ.

Grace

it with Christ.

Us. Us.

Peace coming back.

To help.

We're just trying to find our daughter.

This is not just a possession.

This is a revenge.

The demon is running as home.

It's tripled in strength.

If we fail,

we are unleashing an ancient violence into the world.

Let there be light.

Fill in the gang. Rediscover electricity.

The last man on earth is all new Sunday.
