(screaming)

- Son, these men are trying to help you!

They will cast out your evil spirit.

(screaming)

(chaotic music)

- Excuse me. What's happening?

- These disciples of Jesus have been known

to cast out demons. They'vebeen trying for some time,

but it is not working for this poor child.

- Clearly, you do not possess the power

to cast out a demon such as this!

- [Woman] They need incense and amulets!

- Spirit, leave this boy and never return!

(gasp)

- They are deceivers!

- They cannot heal him!

(screaming)

(crowd shouting angrily)

(chaotic music)

- Master!

Lord, have mercy on my son.

He has seizures, and suffers terribly.

He often falls into the fire,

or into the water, so I brought him

to your disciples, butthey couldn't heal him.

(solemn music)

(crowd shouting angrily)

- You faithless and corrupt people!

How long must I be with you?

How long must I put up with you?

(brooding musuic)

Bring the boy here to me.

- I've never seen Jesus soangry with His disciples.

(solemn music)

(screaming)

- Teacher, we did everything we could!

- But the spirit wouldnot do as we commanded.

- How long has this been happening?

- Ever since he was a child.The demon has often tried

to kill him by throwing himinto a fire or into water.

Please, have pity and help us if You can.

- Why do you say, "If you can"?

Anything is possible forsomeone who has faith.

- Lord, I believe.

Help my unbelief.

(screaming)

- I order you to come out of the boy!

(frenzied music)

(screaming)

(crowd exclaiming)

(gasps)

- Is he... dead?

- (cries) My son. My son.

Please, no!

- The boy has died.

(crying)

(melancholy music)

(crowd muttering)

(triumphant music)

- Father.

(gasps)

- My son!

I have my son!

(triumphant music)

(moves into foreboding music)
