Bugenhagen: That little priest Brennan... is he dead yet?
Robert Thorn: Yes.
Bugenhagen: We have work to do. Come.
[Bugenhagen opens a cloth revealing seven daggers]
Bugenhagen: It must done on Hallowed Ground, in the grounds of a church. The blood must be spilt on the Altar of God. [takes one] Each knife must be buried up to the hilt and then set so as to form the sign of a cross. [hands it to Robert] The first knife is the most important, for it extinguishes physical life and sets the centre of a cross. The subsequent knives extinguish spiritual life and radiate outwards.
Robert Thorn: This is a child we're talking about. A small boy who I've raised as my own son.
Bugenhagen: He's not your son! He's a beast! A beast! He's evil incarnate! Now don't you forget that!
Robert Thorn: What if you're wrong? What if he isn't?
Bugenhagen: I'm not wrong!
Robert Thorn: How do I know that?
Bugenhagen: Look. He... bears a birthmark. A sequence of sixes. So says the Bible, as do all the apostles of Satan.
Robert Thorn: No. He doesn't have it.
Bugenhagen: He must have it!
Robert Thorn: I've bathed him. I've gone over every inch of his body. He doesn't have it.
Bugenhagen: If the sign isn't visible, then it must be hidden, beneath the hair. Remove that, you'll find the number.
Keith Jennings: What about the woman, the nanny?
Bugenhagen: Oh, she's an apostate of Hell. She'll die before permitting this.
Robert Thorn: [pause] No. No. [sets the knife down] It's insane. All of you- oh, my God! [runs out]
Bugenhagen: Look, don't lose your nerve now, man! We'll all be in the cesspool if you do!
[Jennings takes the daggers and runs out]
