Hey, Marge ? Marge, over here ! We need your help !
Easy with the hardware.
Jesus, Marge ! What the fuck ?
[ Marge ]It's okay, Jer. We just want the girl.
- Okay, tell me. What the hell is going on here ? - I don't know.
I don't believe you.
- All right. I'm coming out. - Throw out the gun.
Please don't-- don't leave me here. Please !
[ Cop ] Hands on your head.
- What ? - Hands on your head. Now!
What do you want with her, Marge ? Huh ?
- Why is she so important ? -Just the girl. You can kill him.
[ Gasps ]
Come on ! Quickly !
You, I don't need.
But you--
Call your people. Find them.
Over here.
[ Pills Rattling ]
Goddamn it !
Get up ! Come on. Get up !
My best friend is dead. Everyone is trying to kill us. I just shot two cops.
- Why is everyone after you ? - I don't know.
I swear. I don't know. Why is this happening ?
I know it's my fault. I just don't know why.
That man on the stairs, what do you know about him ?
- Nothing. - Come on. I saw your face.
- You recognized him. - I don't talk about it.
[ Softly ] Tell me. I need to know.
I've seen him before... in my dreams.
- In your dreams ? - They're-- They're nightmares really.
He takes me, and-- and he makes love to me.
I've been making love to him my whole life.
I thought I was crazy, but he was never real before tonight.
Oh, he's real. I've seen him before.
- I'm afraid. - Don't be afraid. I won't let him do any harm to you.
I'm afraid of me. I'm afraid that if I see him, if he tries to take me,
I'm gonna want him to.
- [ Woman Chattering On Police Radio ] - Let's go !
- Where we going ? - To get some answers.
[ Knocking On Door ]
- [ Gun Cocks ] - You don't need that. You have no enemies here.
I'm not so sure about that. This girl was just attacked by your people.
- Your Vatican knights almost killed her ! - Vatican knights ?
Oh, my God.
Well, they're not my people. They think they're doing God's work.
- But they're not. - I want to know what's going on,
- and I want to know right now ! - Put the gun away.
Did anybody see you come ?
- No. - Good. We should be safe here.
According to the Scriptures, he can't see inside of the house of God.
- Who can't ? - Maybe now you're ready to believe.
- [ Woman Chanting In Ancient Language ] - [ Computer Beeping ]
[ Chanting Continues ]
- Her hands are healed. - That's the power of faith.
- Who is she ? - She's a Polish peasant.
She fell into a trance about two weeks ago,
and then she began to speak in a language she couldn't possibly have known.
- She made a prophecy about End of Days. - "End of Days" ?
Of man's destruction and the unholy's reign upon the earth.
Why don't you stop all this church talk and tell us what the hell is going on.
- Who's after her ? - Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to explain.
[ Kovak ] You know anything about the number of the beast ?
Revelation of St. John ? From his dream ?
- Six-six-six ? - The number of the beast is not six-six-six.
Often in dreams, numbers appear upside down and backwards.
So, six-six-six becomes nine-nine-nine.
Like in 1999, the year of his return.
What does that have to do with me ?
Regressus diaboli: The return of Satan.
Does any of this look familiar to you ?
She's been chosen. He's in her blood.
The Holy Church has been searching for you since the day you were born.
- Chosen for what ? - Every thousand years, on the eve of the millennium,
the Dark Angel comes and takes a body,
and then he walks the Earth, looking for a woman who will bear his child.
It all has to happen in that unholy hour before midnight on New Year's Eve.
If he consummates your flesh with this human body,
then he unlocks the gate of hell...
and everything as we know it ceases to exist.
So, the Prince of Darkness wants to conquer the Earth,
but has to wait until an hour before midnight of New Year's Eve ?
- Is this Eastern time ? - It's got nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
It has to do with a temporary celestial alignment.
The Gregorian monks studied the heavens.
They were able to calculate the precise moment of this event.
They created our calendar by mapping this event...
and counting backwards from that moment.
- It was a mistake to come here. - It doesn't matter whether you believe or not.
He's real, and he won't rest till he finds this girl.
- Why did he pick me ? - Because the stars were right when you were born.
A man's body was also chosen, just like yours.
If the devil does exist, why doesn't your god do anything ?
It's not my God. It's our God, and He doesn't say that He will save us.
He says that we will save ourselves.
Save myself? What am I supposed to do ? Get a restraining order?
- We have to have faith. - Faith.
Yes, faith. It's an interesting concept.
If you read the Bible, you can't miss it. Faith !
Between your faith and my Glock nine millimeter, I take my Glock. Come on. Let's go.
I'm afraid it takes a person of pure heart to defeat pure evil.
You did your job. You brought her here to people of faith. We'll protect her.
- We'll hide her. - You know, you live in a different world.
We have some real serious problems here, and this is not solving them.
Satan's greatest trick was convincing man he didn't exist.
I don't, uh-- This all feels true to me.
You'll be safer with me. At least I can fight this guy with something real.
You know what to do. You feel it.
[ Softly ] I'm sorry.
Let him go.
[ Priest Speaking In Italian ]
It gets easier when you accept what you are.
A fallen soul. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
[ Chuckling ]
Door's locked, no windows broken.
- [ Whispers ] How did I get in here ? - Who the fuck are you ?
Oh, I think you know who I am.
You just don't want to believe it.
I took a bullet for you.
- I protected you. - Oh, no-no-no. You didn't protect me.
You protected this body. Am I-- Am I getting a pattern here ?
So much pain. "Not to be taken with alcohol."
Remember that.
Oh.
To lose a wife and child.
I can't even imagine what that must be like.
- What do you want ? - To make you happy again.

A gift from you daughter? Hmm ?
- [ Continues ] - [ Water Splashing, Child Giggling ]
[ Splashing Continues ]
- Amy ? - Don't stay in there too long. You'll turn into a prune.
- Emily ! - Come on, darling. It's time to get out.
Gotta get you dressed. Your daddy's gonna be home soon.
[ Amy ] I have the best daddy in the whole world.
Yes, you certainly do.
- [ Laughing ] - But I don't think he'll be home.
[ Emily ]Now, what makes you say a silly thing like that ?
- He never comes home. - Well, honey, you know your daddy works hard.
It's not about how much time you're there. It's about "quality time."
Now, he'll be home just like he promised. You'll see.
He keeps his promises.
I can give it all back to you. Everything that He took away.
Everything.
You can hold your wife again.
You can watch your daughter walk through the door in her prom dress.
All you have to do is tell me where the girl is.
Come on. She's a nobody to you. You don't even know her.
You're in the middle of something you don't really understand.
You think you're saving her from me ? She wants to be with me.
- You know that. - What did you do in school today ?
You think I'd harm her?[ Scoffs ] I'd treat her like a queen.
- Turn around, sweetheart. - You told me you'd do anything to get your family back.
You want them ? This is your chance.
- They're not real. - Does that matter?
- Oh, yes. - I think you need to be reminded...
of how painful reality is.
No !
Oh, shit ! [ Snarls ]
[ Jer Yelling ]
[ Screaming ]
Don't hurt my baby !
- Daddy! - Let my daughter go !
[ Screaming ]
Daddy !
- Let go of my baby ! - [ Screaming, Shotgun Blasts ]
No !
[ Panting ] Oh, it's true.
It wasn't your fault.
- I wasn't there. - No, you were just--
You were out doing your job.
- I wasn't fucking there ! - Oh, look at you. Torn apart by guilt.
You didn't do anything wrong. You were an honest cop. You didn't take money.
You had to testify against them even after they threatened your family.
Most people would never testify against those guys.
They're not like you. You had to do the right thing.
And where was God, hmm ?
He could've stopped it, but he didn't. He fucked you. Then He made you feel guilty.
Me, I don't do guilt. I didn't do what happened here.
He did. Now you just think about that.
Then you tell me who's really your friend.
I can make it like it never happened.
All for the price of a stranger's address.
No !
You will never see the girl !
Now, you see-- Now you're upsetting me.
You don't want to see me upset, believe me.
Oh, you want to fuck with me ? You think you know bad, huh ?
You're a fucking choirboy compared to me ! A choirboy !
You're in touch with your anger. I really like that.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to have a drink.
You and I are so much alike.
We're nothing alike ! Nothing !
Look at yourself. Look at this. Look at what you are now.
You walked away from the light, just like me. You want one ?
- You need to get out, now. - Come on. You know what's in your heart.
- We're on the same side. - I'm not on your side, and I never will be.
[ Laughs ] You're on His side ? He's the one who took away your family.
Let me tell you something about Him.
He is the biggest underachiever of all time.
He just had a good publicist, that's all. Something good happens: "It's His will."
Something bad happens: "He moves in mysterious ways."
You take that-- that overblown press kit they call the Bible.
You look for the answer in there, what do they tell you ?
"Shit happens." [ Scoffs ] Please.
He treated you like garbage. You walked away.
I'm not the bad guy.
What about the End of Days ?
Think of it as a new beginning.
A change of management. And you'll be right there with me on the ground floor.
It will be so cool.
Tell me what you want.
Tell me what you really want, and I'll give it to you.
I'll tell you what I want.
I want you to go to hell.
[ Sighs ] You see, sometimes the problem is...
[ Neck Bones Cracking ]
- hell... - [ Gasping, Choking ]

- Don't fuck up the coat. - [ Groans ]
I've wasted too much time on this.
You see those insignificant little dots down there ? Huh ? Do you see them ?
That's what you mean to me. Now, give me the girl !
[ Gasps ] Not today.
[ Groans ]
Look down.
Now, look in your heart and tell me you don't want to die.
All you got to do is take my hand.
- [ Grunting ] - And I'll give you back everything that He took away.

- Come on. - Okay.

Hey. Hey !
- I thought you were dead. - Couple of seconds, I would've been.
All I remember is stepping out of the van, then I woke up in the fucking gutter.
- What the hell are you doing here ? - What are you talking about ?
I've been looking for you all night. What the hell happened to you ?
- Hey. Hey. Hey. - I can't trust you.
I don't know how much you had to drink, okay, but let's not point the gun at me ?
- I just need to know. - You need to know what ?
- That you are you. - Of course I'm me ! What the hell are you talking about ?
- You took his body. - All right. You're ill.
Okay ? You need some help. All right ?
Oh, fuck ! Jesus !
- Fuck. - You're bleeding.
Of course I'm bleeding ! You fucking shot me !
- I just needed to find out ! - You found out, okay ?
- Stop being such a pussy ! It's just a scratch. - Pussy ? Come on !
- Oh, Christ. - Does it hurt ?
What do you think ? Jesus.
What the hell's the matter with you ? What's going on here ?
I can't explain it.
I shouldn't have left her alone like that.
- I should be with her. - [ Bobby ] Tell me what to do.
I gotta get back there. [ Panting ]
Got to get her as far away from him as I can.
Okay, we'll leave town. You get her. I'll get a Striker car.
Just tell me where to meet you.
St. John's Church... in one hour.
How much longer, Father?
Well, he has to sire his child between 11:00 and midnight tomorrow night.
- So, we must keep you hidden until that hour passes. - [ Banging ]
- We've come to help. - Your Eminence.
In this hour of darkness, we need all the help we can get.
- How's the girl ? - The girl's fine. Thanks.
No.
No. Father ! Father, they're the ones who tried to kill me !
[ Groaning ]
- No ! - Your Eminence, what are you doing ?
- We cannot allow this union to take place. - No ! No.
- Please ! - You can't ! You mustn't !
- [ Christine ] Let go ! - She is only one life.
How many lives are you prepared to end if we do nothing ?
- That's not who we are. - Of course it is.
We are doing God's work. We are preventing the End of Days.
But you can't prevent evil by doing evil.
- There is no time ! - No ! - [ Chanting ]
- It's the only way. - No-o-o !
- [ Screaming ] - May God forgive us !
- Amen. - [ Gunshot ] - [ Blade Clattering ]
- [ Groaning ] - I can do this all day long.
- [ Groaning ] - Now, let her go.
You must let us finish.
If she is slain, his hope of creating a kingdom on Earth dies with her.
- Her death is God's will. - It's not God's will.
- It's your will, and it will lead to our destruction. -Jericho.
She must be removed. It's the only way to defeat him.
For a thousand years, we prepared ourselves for this.
- We're not afraid to die. - Good.
Because I'm not afraid to kill you.
Let her go.
[ Rumbling ]
Go. Go. Get out of here.
[ Kovak ] Go !
God help us. We're too late.
- I've come for my wife. - Let's go.
This is the house of the Lord, our God, and you are not welcome here.
I can stand the pain of being in church. How much pain can you bear ?
Christine ! Come to me.
lam the one you've been waiting for.
I am the answer to your prayers.
In the name of God, I order you to leave here now !
[ Kovak ] May the wrath of God destroy--
- [ Thunderclap ] - [ Screaming ]

And with your last breath you shall bear witness to the End of Days.

It's not how you're thinking As you've been mine
You been living a dream now Believe you're a bad jump
Believe you're in favor And drain out your soul
And what can I do when there's so many liars
That crawl through your veins Like millions of spiders
And seek out their victims And who is the wiser
Watch out !
Gotcha !
Oh my God I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
So give it away like they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you beg them to come back and haunt you
To run past your demons and carry you to some place
You're starting to bleed And they don't give up
Before it's too late What will you offer
In ways of healing Oh, I'm so confused
Confused

Oh my God I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
Don't bury it deeper where nobody can find it

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
Well, then just bet on a little less compromise

And they won't give in 'cause they know what they're after
