Sons of Belial That make any sense to you? Sounded like Latin. Who knows. -- Reese and Nick It's Melanie Sawchuck all right, dental records confirm. You had to go into her mouth? -- Natalie and Tracy This is about your sister Melanie. I'm afraid she's dead. (Silence) You do have a sister named Melanie, don't you? -- Nick and Tracy As there is God within us all, so, too, must there be the devil, and we cannot know until the very end which shall prevail. -- Eric Sawchuk This God and this Devil are a mere human contrivance and convenience. They are the justification for slaughter without the tricky business of ... accountability. -- LaCroix If there is a God, he has not yet shown himself to me. -- Nick Nick, are you in there? -- Tracy So, you mind telling me why you're so familiar with bibilical quotes? It's always a good idea to know what the other side is up to. Right. -- Tracy and Nick Nick's serious about this exorcism thing? -- Reese There is a devil, detective, and he's every bit as real as you or I. -- Eric Sawchuck Tell me...Sancho, how does a man of such faith as yours come to be called a demon? -- LaCroix I am no more a demon that you are. I quite agree. Why give glory to a devil other than yourself. -- Ario and LaCroix Our beliefs compel us to act against Satan. If we do not, his darkness will continue to devour the world, until the world is dead. -- Eric Sawchuk Although it the devil did make her do it, I'd like to see anyone try and prosecute him. -- Reese May we come in? Actually, now isn't a very good time. I'm rather busy. This shouldn't take too long. -- Tracy, Venderwal and Nick So you are an exorcist? It sounds rather frightening doesn't it. Sometimes it is. -- Venderwal Don't you live in Toronto? If evil took up permanent residence here, then so would I. -- Venderwal Are you suggesting that the devil killed Melanie? -- Tracy I don't suppose you know what it's like to be tormented by evil, Detective Knight. -- Venderwal Tell me that was all smoke and mirrors back there. That was some very elaborate put-on. Like the wizard said, 'Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain'. What? You know, from the wizard of Oz? You know I've had my eyes opened to some pretty weird things lately, stuff that I only thought happened in movies and books but I cannot accept that what we saw at Venderwal'w was a demon being exorcised. -- Tracy and Nick Nick are you okay? What's the matter? Nothing. I thought there was a cat. -- Tracy and Nick My God! What are you? Stay away from me. All right, all right, I'll do it. Forgive me, God. -- Thief (confronted by the Demon/Nick) It is not for me to question. Of course not, for once the question has been asked, it must be answered. -- Sanchez and LaCroix God is in all of us, even you, though you serve the devil. I serve no one. Then you are without purpose. Perhaps, but at least I do not deceive myself. -- Sanchez and LaCroix Please. You have nothing to fear from me. You? You cannot walk in the daylight. The lambs blood and crosses repel you. Tell me you are not an angel of the devil. Yes, Nicholas. Do tell. -- Sanchez, Nick and LaCroix In the name of God, help me. RELEASE HIM! Really Nicholas, such crass showmanship. I am the demon you seek. I am the devil's servant. This man refused to join us. His faith has twisted his mind. -- Sanchez, Nick and LaCroix I've never anyone look so pale. -- Reese You look like you could use a drink. Care to join me? (They kiss passionately) Is that a yes? -- Paula Why Nicholas, what a pleasant surprise to see you like this. Get OUT! -- LaCroix and Nick Finally. You have come to your senses, Nicholas. Please help me, LaCroix. I can't control myself. Good. Although a little more discretion might be in order. -- LaCroix and Nick Something has happened. Something terrible. There was an exorcism. It wasn't mine. But I was there. Something happened. I think the demon came into me. Don't be ridiculous, NIcholas. It is merely your true nature coming to the fore. No. Listen to me, Nicholas. There are no such things as demons and devils. -- LaCroix and Nick You must take me to him. Who? What are you talking about. Venderwal. He's an exorcist. I will take you to no such man. You will take me or I will be destroyed. I do not take kindly to coercion, NIcholas. Please help me, LaCroix. Please... -- Nick and LaCroix You see, the devil doesn't just go away after he's been rejected. He always seeks refuge. Usually in the conflicted, those that wage war with themselves. It's this inner turmoil that opens the door and lets the demon enter. -- Venderwal You don't want to believe any of this, do you. My thoughts on the matter are irrelevant. I'm merely indulging Nicholas. -- Venderwal and LaCroix Are you going to do this or not? -- LaCroix Nicholas, look at me. Is that you Nicholas? YEEESSSS. Why don't I believe you. Who are you, what's your name? -- Venderwal and Nick I am the Son of Belial... -- Demon/Nick The evil in him is very powerful. I need your help. This is all nonsense And yet you are here. -- Venderwal and LaCroix Are you responsible for his turmoil? Is it you that opened the door to let the devil into him. The devil you try so hard to dismiss. Help me. Help him. I... can't. -- Venderwal Nicholas knows you, trusts you, that me the difference in the end. Otherwise we may lose him. (Nick vamps out) He is already lost! He belongs to me! He is mine. He no longer needs you. He is my creation. My son. I won't let you take him from me. You...also? Yes. -- Venderwal, Nick/Demon and LaCroix Nicholas! Stop this. Stop it! You are weak, LaCroix. Nicholas is weak. You have no power over me. (Laughter) -- LaCroix and Nick/Demon What made you chose this one? De Brabant has been many people. All of them murderers. They are inside. Restrained by some sickening moral conscience. They want to be unleased. They want to kill again. Oh... Nicholas and I will make a fine pair. He has real potential. I want to develop it. -- Venderwal and Nick/Demon Look, when did this, uh, whatever it is, come over Nick? I don't know. He was acting strange on the back from Venderwals. Venderwals? Yeah, it's a long story. Why don't you just give me the highlights. -- Natalie and Tracy I have revived the vampires taste. I've revived the vampires taste for death. The goodness he has cultivated...cultivated. It has been driven--driven out. I will be with him forever--forever--forever. I will be with him forever. -- Demon/Nick You can't save them all. Fight Nicholas! This is not your fight, LaCroix. You are one of us. You belong to us. Listen to me, Nicholas. You must fight this demon! There is goodness you. There is God in you. USE IT! -- Demon/Nick and LaCroix Nick? Nick, it's Natalie. Nick, don't! -- Natalie Nicholas. You're back. You're back. Oh, my God, Nick, what happened? For the devil to be driven out, one must first believe that God has not abandoned the soul. Torn as he is by good and evil. Nick does... have faith. -- Venderwal and Natalie LaCroix! He saved us! You were the hand of God! He spared me through you. I don't understand what you are, but there is God in you. You're actions are proof of that. His actions suited his needs, and nothing more. Come Nicholas. Thank you. Go now, go in peace. -- Nick, Sanchez, and LaCroix And your acceptance of that, helped to save him. I did what was necessary to reclaim him. Yes, of course you did. This...never...happened! -- Venderwal and LaCroix It's over Nick. Hey, you beat the devil. Not bad for a day's work. You can't imagine what it's like. Maybe not, but we all have our demons. Not like this. (Nick turns to Natalie and his eyes are green) Don't! Don't do that. It's all right. Don't be afraid. -- Natalie and Nick I think that what happened set me back a bit, set us back a bit. I don't know how much. But I haven't felt such a powerful need for human blood in a long time. -- Nick In courts and palaces he also reigns and in luxurious cities, where the noise of riot decends above their loftiest towers and injury and outrage. And when night darkens the street, then wander forth the Sons of Belial--flown with insolence and wine. Paradise Lost. -- LaCroix
