INT. WOODVIEW LOBBY Dr. Hunter and Father O'Malley walk up to the admitting nurses station and Dr. Hunter asks her a question. HUNTER Nurse Wells, how much damage did the earthquake do? NURSE I beg your pardon Dr. Hunter, .... but what earthquake? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter it was an illusion. HUNTER Illusion? I Don't think so. NURSE Father O'Malley I've been sitting here for the last hour, and believe me if we'd had an earthquake I would have known it. O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter I need to talk to you privately. HUNTER Father, ......... very well, let's go to my office. INT. WOODVIEW CHIEF OF STAFF - OFFICE Dr. Hunter and Father O'Malley reach the office and open the door and are shocked by what they see. HUNTER Nurse Wells, was right, we didn't have an earthquake, there's nothing damaged here, your right father it was an illusion. O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter the Devil specializes in illusions. HUNTER Are you saying , .....Adon is the devil disguising himself as gods son? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter I don't know what to think, I'm stumped. HUNTER Father, Adon will be gone in the morning, lets have another session with him this afternoon. I should of warned you that he was going to be playing head games. CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW OFFICE OF CHIEF OF STAFF - LATE AFTERNOON Adon walks into the room and sits down next to father O'Malley. HUNTER Adon, it's good to see you. ADON Father O'Malley how are you? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter and I want one more session before your picked up, we had some last minute questions to ask you, is that Ok? ADON Father O'Malley you are still not convinced who I am, are you? O'MALLEY Adon, it's not everyday of the week we're paid a visit by the son of god. We just want a little more assurance, ok? ADON Father, do you remember MASTAFA? O'MALLEY Mastafa? ADON Father, do you remember when you were at a small parish in the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. O'MALLEY Santa Rosa? ADON Yes, SANTA ROSA. O'MALLEY (clearing his throat) Ok, so I remember MASTAFA. ADON Father you were conducting your usual Saturday afternoon confessions when a young man from the middle east came in and gave you his confession? O'MALLEY That confession was between Mastafa, me and the lord. ADON Father he was going through a lot of grief, but he confessed to you that his mother was dying of cancer at HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL and she was in so much pain, he killed her. O'MALLEY Yes I remember. HUNTER Father, relax. Adon, don't play head games with Father O'Malley, please. Adon gets up and walks over to the window and looks out at the garden. ADON Father you told him it was a mortal sin what he had done. (Adon waves his hand) A rumble is heard in the distance and the room starts to get cold. A mist forms in the corner of the room. A young man appears. O'MALLEY Mastafa, is that you? HUNTER Hang in there father. MASTAFA (crying) Father O'Malley I just couldn't see my mother suffering anymore please wont you please ask god to forgive me ......please!!! O'MALLEY Mastafa, you killed your mother how can you expect him to forgive you? ADON Father O'Malley would you like to see how Mastafa is now? Father O'Malley takes his Rosary out of his portfolio case and places it around his neck. O'MALLEY Yes, I would like to know how he is. HUNTER Adon, what are you doing? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter I can handle it. HUNTER Father ............. The room suddenly gets cold and a mist forms in the corner of the room and a face starts to appear. It's in the form of an old woman laying in a hospital bed. MASTAFAS MOTHER (talking to son) My son, I'm in so much pain, please do something, I can't take it anymore. (screaming) Please my son please!!! MASTAFA Ok mother, ok!!!! (screaming) Forgive me my lord, forgive me! ADON Father, after the confession he went home and blew his brains out with a hand gun. You should have given him something, anything! O'MALLEY (clearing his throat) What could I do, he killed his own mother, ......what could I do? ADON (waving his hand) Father O'Malley your hands are bleeding. O'MALLEY (looking at his hands) Oh my god, there is blood all over my hands. But it's not mine? (sobbing uncontrollably) A rumble is heard in the distance then a large cloud rolls in and it starts to rain. Father O'Malley falls down on his knees and starts throwing up. O'MALLEY Please, no more no more! HUNTER Is this necessary Adon, what are you trying to do, break him? Father O'Malley are you ok? O'MALLEY Yes, I'm having trouble with my stomach. (cupping his hand over his mouth) Father O'Malley is seen opening the door and running out into the hallway. HUNTER Well Adon, you sure finished him for the day. ADON Father O'Malley was instrumental in Mastafa committing suicide. If he would have just given him a little compassion, maybe just maybe he would of been able to survive. The phone rings and Dr. Hunter picks it up. HUNTER Dr. Hunter? Sure, bring him to my office. The door opens and a tall and thin older priest in his early seventies walks into the room and sits down. HUNTER MONSIGNOR HURLY, it's so good to see you. I want you too meet my guest Adon Bashier. ADON Monsignor Hurly, my pleasure. HURLY Dr. Hunter I have impressions that I know Mr. Bashier. But from where, I just can't remember. ADON What about DINU PASS, CARPATHIAN ALPS, ROMANIA around 1928. HURLY Adon, it was not Adon, it was NICHOLAS BUTKUS, a young man who was baptizing the peasants. ADON Monsignor, you remember. What a memory! HURLY I told you, only a man of god could do baptisms. ADON Yes, and I told you, I was gods son and you laughed at me. HURLY You were not gods son. ADON Yes, I was gods son. But you told the German soldiers that I was an impostor and they arrested me and took me to a camp in Poland. HURLY (clearing his throat) Ok, so I remember. ADON Monsignor, you were so afraid I would replace you, that you became Judas! The Monsignor opens his bag and removes a small container of what appears to be HOLY WATER, and also removes a large CRUCIFIX and a special Catholic Book for Exorcising. ADON Monsignor Hurly, you disappoint me. You look like you're ready to do an Exorcism. Am I right? HURLY My colleagues and I have spent the last forty-years researching the hidden and coded passages of the Holy Bible We recently uncovered a coded message saying that in the Year of Our Lord 2012, an Angel will come to Earth and warn mankind to prepare for the APOCALYPSE. It also says most people will think it's a hoax! HUNTER So what you're saying is, we have not yet determine if ADON is a good Angel or Bad Angel. HURLY Dr. Hunter I have all the tools I need now, to see if Mr. Bashier is a devil or angel ADON (laughing) Do you want me to hold the cross and the bottle of holy water while you do the exorcism. Or maybe you want me to read the passages from the special holy book. By the way, who are we exorcising? HURLY (ARAMAIC) (subtitles) ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS. It is me your old advisory. You look well. ADON (ARAMAIC) (subtitles) Monsignor, you remember. How delightful! HURLY (ARAMAIC) (subtitles) MEPHSTOPOLIS , why are you here? ADON (ARAMAIC) (subtitles) Monsignor, you remember how I have to entertain myself from time to time, so here I am. You look healthy and well. Why am I here? It's time for me to harvest my souls. The world will come to an end in the year 2,014. HURLY Dr. Hunter will you please leave the room and don't come back in until you hear from me. ADON (laughing) Oh, Dr. Hunter please don't leave me alone with Monsignor Hurly, he will surely hurt me. CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW LOBBY Dr. Hunter walks up to the admitting nurses station and asks her a question. HUNTER Nurse Wells, Father O'Malley is in the rest room, with a stomach problem will you please keep an eye on him? NURSE I beg your pardon Dr. Hunter, but he just walked out the door about five minutes ago. HUNTER How far could he have gone, he has no car. NURSE Father O'Malley may have walked over to Agoura road. He can catch a bus there to wherever he want's to go. HUNTER Get one of orderlies to go look for him and get him back. It's urgent! INT. WOODVIEW CHIEF OF STAFF - OFFICE EVENING Dr. Hunter opens the door and is shocked by what he sees. Monsignor Hurly is reading his bible and Adon is no where in sight. HUNTER Where did he go? HURLY Dr. Hunter, he's gone. He said we were boring him and he walked out. Hunter picks up the phone and calls the security section. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, Adon is missing, I want you to drop everything and find him! HURLY I wouldn't worry about it, he's harmless. HUNTER Who the hell is he? HURLY (ARAMAIC) ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS. HUNTER That tells me a lot! HURLY Dr. Hunter, he's a harmless Spirit who roams the world doing practical jokes. Hunter picks up the phone and calls Edwards Air Force base. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, may I speak to Colonel Bond please. (A beat). Hi Colonel Bond this is Dr. Hunter, Adon is missing, I have no idea where he went. (A beat) We will continue to look. Yes of course, if we find him we'll call you immediately. HURLY I wouldn't worry about it, he will probably turn up somewhere in the middle east. HUNTER Who the hell is Uri Halevi? HURLY (ARAMAIC) UNINOKA HASPEKLIS. Dr. Hunter, he's one of his fellow spirits who work as a team to sweat the hell out of people who cater to them. Hunter picks up the phone and calls the security section. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, have you found any trace of Adon? (A beat.) Ok, keep looking, call me the minute you find anything. HURLY Well, you wont need me anymore, I guess I should be getting back to the Rectory at ST. VIBIANNA'S. HUNTER Did you drive? HURLY Dr. Hunter, I'm too old to drive, I spent two hours on the bus getting here, why? HUNTER Monsignor, it's late, why don't you spend the night. I have to go into Los Angeles tomorrow on business, why don't you ride in with me. HURLY That would be nice, yes I think I will like that. I'm really tired will you show me to my room. Hunter picks up the phone and calls the Admission desk. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, it appears, Father O'Malley is gone for the day. Please give his room to Monsignor Hurly. He's in my office, will you please send someone to get him, thank you. HURLY I will be ready in the morning. HUNTER Monsignor, they will be here in a few minutes to take you to your room. Tell me what transpired with you and Adon while I was gone? HURLY (laughing) MEPHSTOPOLIS! Dr. Hunter, he started in on his usual dialog, you know .....would I like to talk to my dead mother or father, and on and on! Hunter picks up the phone and calls the security section. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, have you found any trace of Adon? (A beat.) Ok, keep looking. HURLY Well, anyway I didn't pay any attention to him and continued to read my bible. HUNTER So what did he do? HURLY Dr. Hunter, this type of spirit can't stand it when they don't have an audience, so when I continued to ignore him, he got mad and left! HUNTER How did you pronounce his name? HURLY (ARAMAIC) ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS. HUNTER Wow, what a name, what does it mean? HURLY I don't know. HUNTER How well do you know Father Timothy O'Malley. HURLY Dr. Hunter, he's one of the nicest persons you would ever want to meet but I don't think he has the stomach for this type of work. The door opens and an orderly walks into the room. HUNTER Oh, it's about time, good-night monsignor, see you in the morning. HURLY (making a motion with with his right hand like a pistol) Gotcha! CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW CHIEF OF STAFF - OFFICE MORNING Dr. Hunter is on the phone talking to the office manager at St. Vibianna's Cathedral. HUNTER Hi Mary, may I speak to Monsignor Hurly please. MARY (V.O) Dr. Hunter, he's gone. He said he was going to visit some friends in Long beach, why? Hunter holds the phone up to his chest and looks out the window. HUNTER Mary, was the Monsignor there yesterday and last night. MARY (V.O) Yes, of course why? HUNTER Are you sure? MARY (V.O) I made him a large glass of warm milk, that's how sure I am, why is there a problem? HUNTER No, no problem at all, please have him call me when he gets in. MARY (V.O) Sure, no problem, bye Dr. Hunter. Hunter places the receiver back in the cradle and rubs his eyes. HUNTER (ARAMAIC) ANDEKIKLIS MEPHSTOPOLIS. HUNTER (cont.) (talking to himself) "Dr. Hunter, he's a harmless Spirit who roams the world doing practical jokes". Yeah right! CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW PRIVATE ROOM OF - MONSIGNOR HURLY Dr. Hunter opens the door and sees Monsignor Hurly reading his bible. HUNTER Good morning Monsignor. HURLY Dr. Hunter, how are you. Please sit down and have some coffee with me. HUNTER Adon is still missing, I suppose you wouldn't have any idea where we could find him? HURLY I wouldn't worry about it, he's harmless. HUNTER (ARAMAIC) ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS. HURLY Dr. Hunter, your Aramaic Dialect is flawless, you must have been practicing. I'm impressed. HUNTER You know that's a real tough name to pronounce. I guess that's why he took the "A" and "D" from the first name and the "O" and "N" from the second name, so what you really have is "ADON MEPHSTOPOLIS". HURLY Dr. Hunter, that was very clever of you to deduce that abbreviation of a very complex name. Would you like a job translating old scriptures at St. Vibianna's? HUNTER ADON MEPHSTOPOLIS, would you prefer I just call you MEPHSTOPOLIS? HURLY Dr. Hunter, I'm confused, ..... do I sense hostility and confrontation in the manner of your speech? HUNTER Adon, why are you posing as Monsignor Hurly? HURLY Dr. Hunter, I'm afraid you are confused. HUNTER Monsignor, your are not. I received a call from the real Monsignor Hurly this morning so who the hell are you? HURLY The previous exchange of words between you and I were at the highest level for genuine respect for a Senior Monsignor of the Roman Catholic Church, and the best you can do is "Who the hell are you" really, your peasant upbringing is starting to bleed through! HUNTER What is it that you want MEPHSTOPOLIS? HURLY (laughing) MEPHSTOPOLIS! MEPHSTOPOLIS! Dr. Hunter, you truly amaze me so what now? HUNTER What is your true purpose on earth, MEPHSTOPOLIS? HURLY I told you I was the son of God and I wasn't lying. In the literal sense, all men are the son of God, just like all women are the daughters of God. HUNTER Mephstopolis, you do have a way with words. HURLY Dr. Hunter, you truly amaze me, the only clue I gave you was Gotcha, I really didn't think you would pick up on that, but you did. HUNTER Adon Mephstopolis, I'm losing my patience, what do you want? HURLY/ADON Dr. Hunter, I'm not in the habit of lying, and I only took on this appearance so you would call Edward's to call off the wolves. My mission on earth is to save souls. HUNTER For who, the devil or God? HURLY/ADON Dr. Hunter, I'm confused, ..... do I sense hostility and confrontation in the manner of your speech again? HUNTER Adon, why don't you go back to Adon, so I can pose my questions to the right person. Dr. Hunter is in shock when he sees the appearance of Monsignor Hurly go back to Adon. HURLY/ADON Dr. Hunter, If I have to I will go back to Monsignor Hurly. HUNTER Again, Adon, why are you here and what do you want? ADON God, has more souls than he needs. Satan has even more souls than God. The program for eternity is in the planning stage, so God and the Devil really are not pushing for anymore salvation of souls. Are you following me Dr. Hunter? HUNTER (impatient) I'm with you, go ahead. ADON Dr. Hunter, I have developed an alternative for salvation and Eternity. HUNTER I can't hardly wait to hear what the alternative to God and the Devil is? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, during all of our extensive conversations I have given you nothing but respect and understanding and you have done the same. Why are you now being so rude? HUNTER (impatient) I'm sorry, I guess I'm just tired of this whole charade. ADON See, there you go again, I don't deserve this kind of treatment. You know if I decide to dislike you I can turn you into a mouse then step on you, so please discontinue the attack of rudeness. HUNTER (somber) I'm with you, go ahead. ADON Dr. Hunter, my alternative for salvation and Eternity is as follows. HUNTER Do you mind if I sit down? ADON By all means Dr. Hunter HUNTER Will this take very long, oh by the way, I don't care if you turn me into a mouse then step on me because I only have three months to live, right? ADON (laughing) Splendid Dr. Hunter that was an amazing retort, touché! HUNTER I'm glade you found it to your liking. ADON Dr. Hunter, this is my alternative to Heaven and Hell. If you sign up with me, you will have one wish, and I mean, it can be anything. Then when the world comes to an end, I will harvest your soul and sell it to the highest bidder. HUNTER Highest bidder, who are the bidders? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, as a soul broker I will sell it to the highest bidder, It could be the Lord, the Devil or who knows. HUNTER (impatient) I'm sorry, I grew up knowing either heaven or hell, with no other way to go, can you tell me who the "Who Knows" is? ADON Is that Important? HUNTER (somber) I think it's very important. ADON Dr. Hunter, their are certain deities from other dimensions that will pay a very handsome price for a good soul. HUNTER When you say price, what is the medium of exchange. ADON Is that important? HUNTER (impatient) I think it's very important, It's my soul! ADON Dr. Hunter, I've traveled all over the universe and have seen unspeakable marvels, which would make a mortal man like you not able to eat for days. HUNTER I can't hardly wait, be more specific, what worlds, what deities? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, what is in a word? For example the English Word "GOD". If you put it up to a mirror it reads "Dog". The English word "DEVIL" as read on a mirror is "Lived". Amazing isn't it? HUNTER (impatient) I'm sorry, I'm getting tired, will you please make your point. ADON See, if you combine the words you have "Devil Dog" or "God lived". HUNTER (somber) Make your point, I'm getting weary. ADON Dr. Hunter, my point is these are just words with different meaning for different people, so what I'm saying, what difference does it make whether you go to heaven or Hell, it's the same place, it's just one color for one and another color for someone else. HUNTER I don't follow you? ADON If your a devil on earth you have a lot of fun. If your an angel on earth, you have no fun. So, what's the payoff? HUNTER If your good, you don't spend the rest of your life in the penitentiary. ADON Exactly, your payoff for being good is nothing. HUNTER Piece of mind ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, what would you do if I told you I will guarantee you will be alive for another five years or when the earth ends, whichever comes first. HUNTER (impatient) I would say, what will it cost me? ADON Is that Important? HUNTER (somber) I think it's very important. ADON Dr. Hunter, the only thing you have that is of any worth to me is your soul. HUNTER When you say worth, what is the medium of exchange when you sell my soul? ADON Is that important? HUNTER What kind of profit do you realize when you sell a persons soul? ADON God, has more souls than he needs. Satan has even more souls than God. In the end all my souls will probably go to MARDUKE. HUNTER (curious) Excuse me, Marduke? ADON Dr. Hunter, since you are not a Scientist Specializing in Celestial Mechanics, I can't expect you to understand my reference to the planet Marduke. HUNTER Try me? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, there is a planet in our solar system that orbits the sun once every thirty-five hundred years. HUNTER (understanding) Marduke the phantom planet. ADON Again, you never cease to amaze me my dear Doctor. HUNTER (somber) I'm with you, go ahead. ADON Dr. Hunter, my alternative for Heaven and Hell is living on Marduke for eternity! HUNTER If my soul went to Marduke, what or who's body would I occupy? ADON Very good question Dr. Hunter HUNTER I sense your not telling me something or why else would you be so glib? ADON (laughing) Splendid Dr. Hunter that was an amazing perception on your part. HUNTER I'm glade you found it to your liking. ADON Dr. Hunter, the people of Marduke are born without souls. HUNTER Why? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, they are born without souls for the same reason animals are not born with souls. HUNTER (impatient) And what is that reason? ADON Animals are not born in the likeness of the lord. HUNTER (somber) Is Lucifer In the likeness of the lord? ADON Dr. Hunter, of course he is, like I said, he doesn't have a tail and horns. HUNTER Does Satan have a soul? ADON Is that important? HUNTER (impatient) I think it's very important, I need to know what I'm getting myself into and who I will be serving the rest of my miserable life. ADON Dr. Hunter, you exhibit so much pain for an event that will be the greatest experience of your entire existence. "My miserable life", really Dr. Hunter a man of your stature should really be a little more graceful, proud and daring! HUNTER What do the people of Marduke look like? ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, I believe your interest is genuine and I believe you are not playing with me, so yes, I will tell you what the people of Marduke look like. HUNTER (impatient) I'm sorry, I'm getting tired, will you please finish! ADON They are very small life forms. HUNTER (somber) How small? ADON Dr. Hunter, ... about three feet. HUNTER Three feet! ADON Is that a problem. HUNTER (laughing) What is Marduke, a planet of the dwarfs? ADON Is that a problem? HUNTER Eternity as a dwarf, yes I think that's a problem. ADON My dear Dr. Hunter, what would you do if I told you I will guarantee you all the happiness in the universe being a small person on Marduke. HUNTER I would say, bullshit! ADON Really, Dr. Hunter your peasant upbringing is bleeding through again, I mean do you really have to resort to profanity? HUNTER Are they short and fat like Trolls, or small and petite like Peter Pan? ADON Dr. Hunter, is that really important? Very well, short and fat like a troll. HUNTER What do the women of Marduke look like? I know short and fat like trolls. ADON All you people of earth are the same! You are so ......... obsessed with sex! HUNTER I would rather go to heaven or Hell than be in a trolls body for eternity! ADON You don't like what I do, and quoting an old cliché, "It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it" HUNTER How many people do you find that are willing to give up their soul to get what they want? ADON You would be amazed at the number of contracts I write in one day! HUNTER Give me an example of the type of people that sign with you? ADON If you hear of a scientist who discovers a new drug, he more than likely gave up his soul for it. If you hear of an actor or actress who have won an academy award, again he or she most likely gave up their soul for it! HUNTER Again bullshit, I can't believe the only ultimate rewards in life are from making a pact with the devil. ADON I didn't say all, my dear Dr. Hunter, I said most! It's only fair. HUNTER Fair, ...Fair? What the hell is that suppose to mean? ADON Look you have good Angels and you have bad Angels, but we are still Angels! HUNTER Are you all male or are there females in your line of work? ADON Oh I'm sorry, I thought you knew. Angels are neither male or female, we have both sex organs, it's what you doctors call HERMAPHRODITES! HUNTER (Smiling) Oh isn't that nice, you have all of life's pleasures at your own fingertips! ADON The good Angels have all the Priests, Rabbi's and Reverends teaching everyone to be good, and you know what everybody excepts it. But when the bad Angels have earth bound Spirits help them, it's very very evil! So I say, it's only fair! HUNTER Well friend, I think you are full of shit, and the first thing I will do in the morning is call Edwards and tell them we found you and to come and get you. I'm really weary of all your fantasy's, do most people really believe all this bullshit? ADON It was your idea to bring me to Woodview. HUNTER You know the greatest scam that's ever been accomplished by the Devil is convincing everyone he doesn't exist! You are not the son of god, you are the son of the Devil! ADON Oh, but I am the son of God, just the bad son of god. But face it, the Devil serves a purpose. If he wasn't around to scare the hell out of all the good people, they would never go to church! HUNTER I'm sorry I wasted all my time with the likes of you, if I was almighty God, I would destroy all of you pieces of shit! ADON You have no fear of me? HUNTER Hell no, if I were a violent person I would destroy you! CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW LOBBY MORNING Dr. Hunter walks up to the admitting nurses station and asks her a question. HUNTER Nurse Wells, will you check your chart and tell me if they gave breakfast to Adon...... I'm sorry Monsignor Hurly this morning? NURSE I beg your pardon Dr. Hunter, but the orderly said the room wasn't occupied. HUNTER He was going to ride in with me to Los Angeles. Will you have security check the grounds and see if they can find him? By the way, did Adon Bashier ever show up? NURSE Not a trace. Adon Bashier may have walked over to Agoura road where He can catch a bus to anywhere! HUNTER Get one of orderlies to go look for Monsignor Hurly. It's urgent! CUT TO: INT. WOODVIEW CHIEF OF STAFF - OFFICE EVENING Dr. Hunter opens the door and is shocked by what he sees. Father O'Malley is reading his bible. HUNTER I thought you went back to St. Vibiannas? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter, I was in the room you assigned to me and I had a very nice evening talking with the patients and had a very restful night. Why is something wrong. Hunter picks up the phone and calls the security section. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, has anyone found Monsignor Hurly? Ok, keep looking and call me if he shows up. O'MALLEY Excuse me, Dr. Hunter, but why are you looking for Monsignor Hurly, he was at St. Vibiannas the last time I saw him. HUNTER He was here, ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS! O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter, what language is that, it sounds like Greek? HUNTER You've never heard that name before? O'MALLEY I don't understand. HUNTER Who the hell is Uri Halevi? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter, are you ok? Hunter picks up the phone and calls the security section. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, have you found any trace of Adon Bashier or Monsignor Hurly? Ok, keep looking. O'MALLEY Well, I have to go, the Cardinals helicopter is picking me up in about twenty minutes. HUNTER What was your opinion of Adon Bashier? O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter, I'm not a doctor but I think he's suffering from some form of mental disease. HUNTER Father O'Malley, in all the years in special services for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles have you ever encountered an entity, that was the spawn of the devil? O'MALLEY I haven't, but Monsignor Hurly had an encounter in Europe, I think it was in the Carpathian Mountains in the late twenties, why. Hunter picks up the phone and calls the Admission desk. HUNTER This is Dr. Hunter, we have a helicopter coming in to pick up Father O'Malley, will you call me when they arrive, .....thank you! O'MALLEY I'm ready now Dr. Hunter. HUNTER Father, did the Monsignor ever tell you what the entities name was? O'MALLEY MEPHSTOPOLIS! Dr. Hunter, I remember now because I told him it sounded Greek, why? HUNTER Do you remember if it was a Benevolent or Malevolent entity? O'MALLEY Well, I think he said it was extremely Malevolent, but always passing itself off as Benevolent. HUNTER Did he ever say what his mission on earth was? O'MALLEY I believe the Monsignor said it was to harvest souls! HUNTER Souls for the Devil! O'MALLEY Why doctor Hunter, is your soul for sale? HUNTER (being glib) Well gee I don't know, how much do you think I can get for it? O'MALLEY What ever you want! HUNTER Ok, I know you're Adon disguised as father O'Mally, so lets stop playing games. O'MALLEY Well it looks like my charade is over, pray tell what did I do that gave me away? HUNTER A wild ass guess on my part. Now I know why they call you the "Prince of Illusions" O'MALLEY/ADON (laughing) What happened to the "Prince of Darkness". You know I really have to work hard for all my acquisitions, it's getting harder all the time! But it's worth it, because I have more souls now than the Lord! HUNTER Your so full of shit, I can't believe it! You've spent your whole existence convincing people you don't exist, when you really do, you're pathetic! O'MALLEY/ADON We must do what we have to do. Have you called Edwards Dr. Hunter? HUNTER Thank you for reminding me, I'll do it right now. Hunter picks up the receiver and makes a call. HUNTER (cont.) Hello, this is Dr. Hunter at Woodview Hospital, my I talk to colonel Bond. O'MALLEY/ADON Put the phone down Dr. Hunter! In defiance Dr. Hunter laughs at Adon and ignores him. HUNTER I'm not afraid of you. (Adon glares at Hunter) So turn me into a mouse or frog I don't care! Father O'Malley waves his hand and turns Dr. Hunter into a small frog, and places his foot over the amphibian. O'MALLEY Dr. Hunter, need I say more! Father O'Malley steps hard on the small frog and the sound of small bones crushing are heard. Father O'Malley laughs and picks up the remains of the frog and deposits it in a small wastepaper basket. He picks up the phone and talks in Dr. Hunters voice. HUNTER/O'MALLEY This is Dr. Hunter, will you please have someone pickup father O'Malley from my office and take him to the Heliport, I'm much to busy to take him myself, thank you. O'MALLEY (ARAMAIC) ANDEKIKLIS SONINA MEPHSTOPOLIS! Yes, that's my name, Dr. Hunter! (looking in trash can) My dear Dr. Hunter, you wear that shade of green well! CUT TO:
