Father Elias is a brilliant, skeptical priest armed with a post-structuralist education and a firm belief in psychology. He sets out to interview the Church’s most celebrated exorcist, Father Thomas Coyle, intending to 'deconstruct the legend' and expose the rite as a form of 'social engineering'. He believes the demon is merely a 'psychological scapegoat' or a 'metaphor for the human mind'. But the interview, recorded on an old reel-to-reel machine, quickly becomes a 'document of collision'. Father Coyle, a 'weary warrior' hollowed out by his experiences, recounts his most disturbing cases-irreducible phenomena from Manila, the American South, and London that defy all logical categorization. He describes his enemy not as trauma, but as a 'customized, surgical intelligence' with 'malice'. As Coyle unburdens his 'painful, exhausting knowledge', the interview frame shatters. Elias’s academic certainty crashes against the 'raw, terrifying fact of the monster', leading to a complete philosophical collapse [cite_start]and a final, horrifying confrontation where the skeptic must face the evil he dismissed as myth [cite: 719-721].
