Regan MacNeil
Father Lamont

Father Lankester Merrin died in Georgetown, near Washington, D.C., while attempting to exorcise a 12-year-old child, Regan MacNeil. The name of the spirit that possessed her was Pazuzu, an Assyrian demon traditionally known as the king of the evil spirits of the air. Father Merrin had first encountered this demon in Ethiopia forty years earlier, when it possessed a young African boy. Father Merrin believed the human spirit was on the threshold of a great leap forward—either into goodness or evil. His teachings inspired many disciples, of which I was one, and his death dispirited us deeply. So it was that four years later, I climbed a hill in South America with a heavy heart, for it had fallen to me to carry on Father Merrin's struggle.

Don't you understand... that I was face to face with the Evil that's inside her. Your machine has proved scientifically that there's an ancient demon locked within her!

You realize what you're up against, don't you? Evil. Evil is a spiritual being, alive and living, perverted and perverting, weaving its way insidiously into the very fabric of life.

Sharon: All the time, I longed to see her. Finally, I came back and found that when I'm with her is the only time when I'm at peace. Why would that be? I can't understand it, it frightens me!
Father Lamont: Have you tried a psychiatrist or a priest?
Sharon: I'm talking to one now, aren't I?

Father Lamont: Merrin defeated you.
Pazuzu: No, in his own place of power he gained a little time. That's all.
Father Lamont: It was because the boy was a healer. That's why you attacked him. Now I see. But Merrin saved him.
Pazuzu: Never! I could claim Kokumo even now. I'll show you power.
Father Lamont: He's still alive! Where is he?
Pazuzu: You want me to take you to him?
Father Lamont: Yes.
Pazuzu: Are you sure?
Father Lamont: Show me.
Pazuzu:
[Pazuzu's and Regan's voice speaking at the same time] Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.
