I mean, what if a person...
1:18:06
...came to you, you know, that was
a murderer or a criminal of some kind...

1:18:10
...and they wanted some kind of help?
1:18:14
Would you have to turn them in?
1:18:16
Well, if he came to me for spiritual advice,
I'd say no.

1:18:19
.You wouldn't?
.No, I wouldn't.

1:18:21
But I would try to convince him
to turn himself in.

1:18:25
And, how do you go about
getting an exorcism?

1:18:33
I beg your pardon?
1:18:39
If a person's, you know,
possessed by a demon, or something...

1:18:43
...how do they get an exorcism?
1:18:46
First, I'd have to get them
into a time machine...

1:18:48
...and get them back to the 16th century.
1:18:50
I didn't get you.
1:18:52
It just doesn't happen anymore,
Mrs. MacNeil.

1:18:54
Oh, yes? Since when?
1:18:57
Since we learned about mental illness,
paranoia, schizophrenia.

1:19:01
All those things they taught me at Harvard.
1:19:03
Mrs. MacNeil,
since the day I joined the Jesuits...

1:19:06
...l've never met one priest
who has performed an exorcism. Not one.

1:19:11
Yeah, well...
1:19:15
...it just so happens
that somebody very close to me...

1:19:19
...is probably possessed.
1:19:22
And needs an exorcist.
1:19:24
Father Karras, it's my little girl.
1:19:28
Then that's all the more reason
to forget about exorcism.

1:19:30
Why? I don't understand.
1:19:32
To begin with, it could make things worse.
1:19:34
How?
1:19:35
Secondly, the Church,
before it approves an exorcism...

1:19:37
...conducts an investigation
to see if it's warranted.

1:19:39
That takes time.
1:19:41
.You could do it yourself.
.No, I couldn't.

1:19:43
I'd need Church approval,
and that's rarely given.

1:19:49
Could you see her?
1:19:50
Yes, I could.
I could see her as a psychiatrist..

1:19:53
Not a psychiatrist! She needs a priest!
1:19:55
She's seen every fucking psychiatrist
in the world...

1:19:58
...and they sent me to you!
Are you gonna send me back to them?
