NARRATOR: Lewis Vendredi made a deal with the devil
to sell cursed antiques,
but he broke the pact and it cost him his soul.
(screaming)
Now his niece Micki
and her cousin Ryan
have inherited the store and with it, the curse.
Now they must get everything back
and the real terror begins.

Bon. Merci.

Votre baggages, monsieur.
Merci, beaucoup.
Bonne chance.
(bell dings)
Oui, monsieur?
Oh, bonjour. Hello. Excusez.
Um, je suis... uh, oh boy.
Parlez vous anglais?
Yes, a little.
Good. My French is a lot rustier then I thought it was.
My name is Jack Marshak. I have a reservation.
You are early.
The feast of Marie Mere is still a few days away.
Yes. I'm hoping to meet with Sister Adele
before the crowds come.
Do you seek a healing?
No, no, no.
I'm doing some research on spiritual phenomena.
I hope to get some insights from her.
She is very special.
Bonne nuit, Monsieur Marshak.
Bonne nuit, merci.

MAN: "And in the first prophecy, it was written that
"three messengers should herald his arrival.

And the last shall make way for his return."

MICKI: I'll be right there.
(gasps)
Do you carry sunglasses? Extra large?
Very funny!
I thought I'd surprise you.
Well, you succeeded.
You better hope nothing's broken.
What are you doing here, anyway?
You know any cheap apartments for rent?
What's wrong with your place?
They're tearing it down to build condos.
Jack and Ryan here?
No. Jack's in France.
A place called Marie Mere.
Oh, yeah. Where the little girl saw the Blessed Mother? Uh-huh.
It's like Lourdes, right?
People go there to get healed.
Yeah. How do you know?
You can take the boy out of the church,
but you can't take the church out of the boy.
Yeah, well, Jack said that she had a vision about ten years ago
and decided to become a nun.
He wants to know more about what she saw.
Really? That's cool.
Ryan go with him?
No, but I wish he had. He's depressed.
Well, where is he? I'll go cheer him up.
The cemetery.
Who died?
His kid brother 14 years ago. You remember.
He always gets depressed around this time of year.
BOY 1: Watch this fast ball, Ryan.
BOY 2: Not bad, Jimmy.
Now try throwing me a knuckle ball.
That's great, Jimmy.
(tires screeching)
Ryan?!
Jimmy?!
(gasping)
Jimmy! Jimmy!
(sobbing)
Jimmy!
Ryan?
Mom?
My God, I thought you...
I'm sorry.
I just couldn't face being around you
or your father after it happened.
So you just disappear?
I thought you hated me, blamed me.
No.
Ryan, I'm sorry for what I said to you.
It was nobody's fault.
It's taken me years to realize that.
Ryan, I'm so afraid.
I've been having these horrible dreams about losing you forever.
(voice breaking): No matter what, I had to see you again.
Let's go some place to talk.
Yes.
Oh, uh, bonjour, monsieur, excusez-moi.
Can I help you?
Oh yes, indeed, Father.
My name is Jack Marshak.
I wrote to Sister Adele
about meeting with her this week.
I'm sorry, Sister Adele is not receiving guests.
Oh well, perhaps later on in the week.
Sister Adele is not going to see anyone
until after the feast day.
Look, Father, I've come a very long way,
from the other side of the world. No...
Now, perhaps... No, no, no, I'm sorry.
I'm just curious, what happened with the bells last night?
A small problem with the machinery.
It's been repaired.
Ah.
Well, thank you for your time, Father.
Au revoir.
Au revoir, monsieur.
Monsieur,
Satan wants Sister Adele.
You must tell people.
What?
Three Sisters have died trying to kill her.
Tonight they must
hide her from the demons.
(footsteps)

(choir singing hymn)
¶ ¶
Sister, you must trust me.
I've had a great deal of experience
with paranormal phenomena like this.
I need to know what's been happening here.
There is nothing you can do, Monsieur Marshak.
We are in God's hands.
I've never seen a manifestation like I saw last night.
Something very powerful took possession
of every animal in the village!
Listen to me, Sister.
The word that came out of that dead animal was "Nema,"
that's "amen" backwards.
Satanic worshippers recite holy scriptures backwards.
It is not holy scripture from which he reads.
He?
Yes.
When the Blessed Mother appeared to me,
she dedicated the waters of our shrine to God's works
and I dedicated my life to his service.
She warned me this day was coming.
That ten years after her visit, we would be visited by another.
Who?
Sister, who?!
One of God's fallen angels, Astaroth.
He has walked the Earth for centuries
doing Lucifer's work and awaiting for this moment.
Now he fulfills the prophecies of Satan, his master.
What prophecies?
He possesses the Book of Lucifer,
the devil's bible.
In its revelations are six prophecies.
If they are fulfilled, Satan will ascend onto the Earth.
Last night was the second prophecy.
Why here and now?
If Satan can corrupt this sacred place,
what chance is there for the rest of the world?
Did he say anything else?
No. He just made it very clear
that he needs the research files
we have on Astaroth, the village
and something called the Book of Lucifer.
Look, Ryan, I know the timing's lousy,
but I don't think
Jack would have called us over there
unless it was urgent.
What're you going to tell her?
I don't know.
We've been apart for so long...
She doesn't even feel like my mother anymore.
(speaking French)
Isn't this dangerous? I mean, allowing her to...?
The mental patients are Sister Adele's special calling.
She won't have it any other way.
Have you contacted your superiors
about what happened?
Yes, and they are considering the matter.
We no longer live in an age of miracles, Monsieur Marshak.
The autopsies said all three Sisters died
of natural causes.
These days, bishops and cardinals believe
in medical reports more than works of the devil.
Surely, Sister Adele is a special case.
That's why they are considering the matter.
And if Astaroth kills her?
We are in God's care, Monsieur Marshak.
Excuse me.
Monsieur, excusez. Voulez-vous...
Ah, monsieur, madam...
Monsieur...
(man laughing)
Lucifer is coming.
Prepare his way.
(chuckles)
How do you know this?
I saw his prophet!
He took my eyes, so I will have eternal sight.
(laughing continues)
Where do I find this, this prophet?
Lucifer is coming.
(chuckles)
(laughing continues)
WOMAN (over P.A.): ...now arriving at terminal seven.
Okay, we have some time before the plane leaves.
I can check us both in if you want
to spend time alone with your mom.
Ah, great. Thanks.
WOMAN (over P.A.): International flight #82 is now boarding at gate three.
¶ Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing ¶
¶ You reign now in heaven with Jesus our king ¶
¶ Ave, ave, ave, Maria ¶
¶ Ave, ave, ave, Maria. ¶
Both Christina and I want to thank you all
for everything you've done.
Everybody from the Church: Father,
all you kids from the Parish school.
I can't believe all the ways you came up with to raise money.
I just want you to know that we couldn't be making
this trip to Marie Mere without you.
And, and maybe with your prayers,
we'll come home with a miracle, too.
Right, Chris?
(kids cheer)
What are you thinking?
If there's a God,
I'm sure he'll take care of that child.
And I hope he brings you back safely, too.
Don't worry. Mom, I'll be fine.
Ryan... take care.
Okay, I got the tickets,
and they want us to board right away.
Mom, the quicker we go, the quicker we'll get back.
Right. Let's go.
Bye. Bye, Mrs. Dallion.
We'll call you as soon as we get there.
Bye.
(kids laughing)
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
GIRL: Are you going to Marie Mere?
MICKI: Yeah. Are you going there?
(chuckles): Hi. I'm Burt Davis.
This is my daughter Christina.
Hi, Burt.
Hi, Christina. I'm Micki.
This is Ryan.
(ominous, jarring music plays)
(gasping breaths) BURT: Chris?
(gasping breaths continue)
(whispers): Don't go.
(gasping breaths)
Chris?
Take this.
Right now, honey.
(gasping breaths) Right now.
(breathing calms) It's all right.
This happens sometimes.
You're all right, honey.
(whispers): Please, don't go.
(crickets chirping, wind whistling softly)
ADELE: Please, why don't you listen to me?
Locking me up like this isn't going to help.
Sister, the prayer room is directly under the altar.
You'll be safe here.
Yes, he's right-- that's the important thing right now.
My safety? Yes.
Astaroth seeks to destroy people's faith in God.
He wants them to believe Satan's power is greater.
But if we can keep you alive,
then that'll break the chain of prophecies and stop him.
My life is not important.
I am only a symbol.
What do you mean, Sister?
My parents died when I was very young,
and I was raised by the sisters here.
But even before I saw the Blessed Mother,
I believed in God's power.
I had faith.
Yes, that's probably why you were granted your vision.
Yes.
I had the faith of a child.
Sister, I've learned that, though we can't stop evil,
we can remove the tools by which it's committed.
Now, is there anything you haven't told me
about this Book of Lucifer?
May God be with you tonight.
And with you, too, Sister.

Have you come to praise Lucifer
as your lord and master?
I think not.
I know of your good works.
You don't seek to fulfill what is prophesied.
This place of God now witnesses the power of Satan.
These acts shall lead to his ascension.
Under the lamb shall hide the serpent.
See Lucifer's works
and know his world to come.
(strangled moan)
(loud laughter)
Excuse me. Monsieur Marshak?
Um...
Merci.
(steady beeping)
RYAN: Oh, Jack. Oh, my God.
You are Monsieur Marshak's friends?
I am Sister Adele.
How did this happen?
His fate awaits all of us.
Sister, what's going on?
Our village has become a battleground.
Astaroth is weakening our faith.
If he does,
then his master, Lucifer...
...will walk the earth.

(priest continues)
(coughing)

I know there's gonna be a miracle today.
I'm sure of it.
I think we should put Jack in an American hospital.
Micki, I'm sure the doctors here are fine.
He can't be moved until he's out of shock anyway.
God, I wish we knew what happened to him.
Whatever it is, it sure has shaken up Sister Adele.
We got to find out something fast.
I think we should check out Jack's files that we brought.
I mean, it's the only thing we've got to go on.
(speaking French)
"And on the eve of his ascension,
the holy places were turned against the holy."
Par la grace de Dieu et de la Vierge Marie je vous benie.

And it was written that the blind shall see
and the lame shall walk!
"And the miracles of healing became the miracles of pain."
(screaming)
(laughing)
(villagers clamoring)
(laughing)
This is the work of Satan!
Praise his power! He shall be your sovereign!
Speak his majestic name! Lord Lucifer!
A new age of darkness begins!
Micki, look at what he's holding!
Rejoice, for one among you will be his deliverer...
his disciple.
(panting)
Par la! Par la!
(wind whistling)
Micki!
Micki, I...
(Ryan gasps)
(groans)
(chuckles)
Ryan?
Ryan?!
"And then it came to pass that a new disciple came forth.
"And by his deeds, Lucifer gained entrance
into the realm of the flesh and the spirit."
"His disciple was marked by the sign of the beast."
(laughing)
(bell tolling)
MICKI: Ryan!
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I tried to get the book, but he got away.
I think we should have a doctor check you out.
No! I just got knocked out for a moment.
A moment? You've been gone over an hour.
Micki, I'm fine. I just... He hit me.
He hit me harder than I thought.
Okay. Should we go check on Jack?
That would be fine.
What's wrong?
I have to see Sister Adele first.
Yeah, after we see Jack.
Come on.
(dog barks in distance)
(raven cawing)
(water dripping)
¶ ¶
(laughing)
The place of your return awaits, O Lucifer!
With your new disciple, we will bring thee forth
to reign supreme...
through the child!
(laughing)
Chris?
Chris, you haven't eaten all day.
You need your strength, honey.
I'm so scared, Dad.
Something horrible is happening.
Pray for me...
please?
Pray for me.
From what I can gather,
there's thought to be three Books of Lucifer out there.
One of them safely in the Vatican,
and the other two are lost.
Ryan, listen to this.
It says the final prophecies need to be directed
from a place of the dead.
Ryan, are we working together on this or not?
Going through that junk is a waste of time.
I need to see Sister Adele.
You know they're not letting anyone see Sister Adele.
I'm not anyone.
Hey, look, we know what Astaroth looks like.
Maybe something in here will tell us where he's hiding.
I have to find that nun.
Hey!
Ryan!
Fine. Do it your way.
"And the disciple went forth and slew the most holy,
so darkness could rise to envelop the Earth."
Natas rof sied eleda retsis.
(Astaroth's voice): Natas rof sied eleda retsis.
(nuns talking in distance)
RYAN: I have to see Sister Adele.
I must talk with her!
SISTER: No, monsieur! No!
Yes, what is it?
I can't repeat this to anyone else.
I have to talk to you in private.
It's very important.
Come with me.
What do you want to tell me?
I met him today.
But you are not his...
no matter what he claims.
You were born in God's love.
(Astaroth's voice): And you will die in Satan's hate!
Deny your God or die!
Pere tout puissant, pardonne-lui.
(grunts) (gasps)
Soeur Adele!
(laughing)
Soeur Adele! Soeur Adele!
(laughing)
(Astaroth's voice): Canonize her!
She's dying for her faith!
Oh, dear.
Why? Why?
(sobbing)
(grunts)
(sniffles)
No!
MICKI: Johnny, you're not listening to me.
It's not just that he was knocked unconscious.
There's too many...
(doorbell jingles) Micki, you're overreacting.
I'm sure Ryan's gonna be just fine.
No, no.
There's too many weird things happening around him.
Where is he?
I don't know.
He didn't get back from talking to Sister Adele yet.
Well, what do you want me to do?
Get over here, as fast as you can.
You want me to come to France?
Johnny, please try and find a way.
I don't think I can depend on Ryan.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Bye.
Is Ryan hurt?
He'll be okay.
Johnny, what is going on over there?
I don't know.
But I'm gonna find out.
(loud knocking)
Ryan?
Take it easy.
(gasps)
What's-what's going on?
Mademoiselle Foster, ou-est Ryan Dallion?
I don't understand.
Ryan Dallion!
Um, um, I-I...
Son monteau, monsieur.
Come with us, Mademoiselle.
(speaking French)
You okay?
Yes.
(sniffles)
I wouldn't worry about Ryan.
He can take care of himself.
Yes.
I guess I forced him to do that a long time ago.
Look, Mrs. Dallion, uh...
He must hate me for that.
No.
He doesn't hate you.
He loves you.
I just abandoned him when Jimmy died.
I don't deserve his love.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
You'll see.
14 years is such a long time.
We can never make them up.
No.
But you can both try.
I couldn't bear to lose another son.
(woman laughs in distance)
(steady beeping)
Jack?
Please wake up Jack.
Jack.
Jack, I've killed Sister Adele.
I don't understand why,
(sobbing): but I did.
(sniffling)
(sobbing)
Jack, it's all over.
It's over.
(sobbing)
Jack.
You've always saved me before.
Why couldn't you...
stop this from happening?
(sobbing)
I need you, Jack.
I really need you.
(sobbing)
(Astaroth chanting in foreign language)
No!
Please, you've got to help me!
(speaking French)
(Ryan growls, nurses gasp)
(yelling)
(growling)
(speaking French)
(sighs)
Lieutenant, we've been through this a thousand times.
You know how many strange things have occurred here.
Uh-huh.
Strange things.
Miracles I can accept.
Murder, that is a different matter.
I don't care what anybody says.
Ryan is not a murderer!
Now, maybe it's somebody who looks like him.
Or maybe it's... And maybe that the same someone
tried to kill your friend Monsieur Marshak today.
Mademoiselle, I am very tired to hear
always the same stories.
I've had enough.
I'm gonna see Jack. You're not gonna leave here
until I get some kind of truth.
It is apparent that you are hiding something,
and I'm going to find it.
Why don't you just let me make a phone call?
(laughs)
(speaking French)
This is not America here.
You tell me the truth,
and you can make all the telephone calls you want.
And now, disciple of Lucifer,
you shall live eternal through the powers of hell.
We shall usher in a new age of darkness.
Through our deeds,
Lucifer will ascend into
the body of one of God's chosen ones.
And a child shall lead them.

Johnny.
The guy at the hotel said...
Who are you, Monsieur?
Why'd you arrest her?
There has been no arrest.
Good. Then there's no reason for you to hold her.
Come on, Micki, get your things. We're out of here.
Well, are you also a friend of, uh, Ryan Dallion?
Johnny, they're saying that Ryan murdered Sister Adele.
Murdered?
Wait a minute.
You're not gonna hang this on Ryan.
He's the last guy in the whole world...
There were witnesses: one priest and three sisters.
They're also saying that he tried to kill Jack.
Lieutenant, there hasn't been an arrest.
Why don't you start looking for the guy who really did it.
Meanwhile, we're gonna look for our friend.
Come on.
If you find him, you better convince him
to surrender himself.
Or I will arrest you, as accomplice.
Micki, what is going on here?
We've got to find Ryan before the police do.

(choir singing hymn)
(singing stops)
Mes amis.
Je suis desolé. (people sobbing)
So many of you have come from so far away.
I'm sorry.
This feast day was to be one of joy.
But satanic powers have sought to shatter our faith in God
and the Blessed Mother by these acts.
What makes you think he'd be here?
I don't know.
We gotta start somewhere.
Ryan! Ryan, please!
Where are you taking me?
To fulfill Satan's promise.
Ryan, stop this.
(Astaroth's voice): Dare you interfere with Lucifer's ascension.
Dad. Dad.
Dad! Dad!
(Astaroth's voice): Don't be afraid.
Soon you shall be the one others fear. No!
Sister Adele was martyred...
(people sobbing)
because she was a symbol.
A symbol of what the Blessed Mother expects of us.
To do God's work and to love Him so much
that you are willing to lay down your life for Him--
as His only Son did and now--
as she has.
How many of us hold such faith in our heart?
Ten years ago, little Adele Verry
believed in a miracle and it came to pass.
Now all of us must try and believe as she did.
Let us pray.
Au nom du pere, du fils et du saint esprit...
ALL: Notre pere qui est an cieux...
(prayer continues in distance, electronic beeping
(thunder crashing)
(electronic beeping)

I believed in God's power.
I had faith.

BOTH: Lucifer.
I had the faith of a child.
ASTAROTH: This place of God now witnesses the power of Satan.
Under the lamb shall hide the serpent.
Under the lamb shall hide the serpent...
SISTER ADELE: I believed in God's power.
I had the faith of a child.
ASTAROTH: Under the lamb shall hide the serpent.
The child.
CHRISTINA: No, Ryan! Please!
Welcome, most unholy child.
Where is he?
Je ne sais pas.
Monsieur Marshak. Where is he?
Il est parti.
Come on.

"For the child Satan will free them,
"so they may again enjoy
the vile pleasures that condemned them."
...our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespass...
You have prayed to your God for a healing.
But Lucifer will grant you this,
for he is the true ruler of the flesh.
Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive our trespasses...
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name...

He... took her.
MICKI: Jack? Jack!
Micki.
Thank God!
Micki, Ryan's got the child.
I think he's taken her to Astaroth and I don't know where.
Jack, in your papers, it says something about
"in the place of the dead, the final prophecies..."
Place of the dead? That's the cemetery.
Please, my daughter...
Stand her up.
Let her see what Lord Lucifer has done for her.
You see?
His power is greater than your God's.
Just praise him.
Allow him entrance.
Praise him.
Never!
Never will I praise him!
(praying in French)
(wind whistling and thunder rumbling)
The deed will be done.
His scriptures prophesy that a child, on this night,
will provide him flesh.
This will be fulfilled.

Ryan, please. Ryan.
Please.
Lucifer...
(chanting continues)
Ryan! No!
(screaming in pain)
Pray for me.
(groaning)
Behold!
The prophesy has been fulfilled!
(thunder crashing, priest continues prayer)
Lucifer is sent now into the child.
No! This child is Satan.
Son of a... Johnny, don't!
(screaming in pain)
No!
No! Damn you!
Lucifer, save me!
(screaming)
Lucifer, save me!
Lucifer!
(wailing)
Hurry. We must get him to the shrine.
CHRISTINA: Father.
(growling)
By the power of God, free this child of Satan's control.
(growling)
Blessed Mother,
You must believe our faith is strong.
Only God's love can save us.
We pray now for this child.
Return him to what is God's will.
Not Lucifer's
(shrieking)
Ryan?
Ryan.
Ryan?
Who are you?
I'm Jack Marshak.
You're my uncle's friend.
You came over to my house once.
Mom made you dinner.
That's-That's right, Ryan.
(grunting)
Ryan?
I'm Chris.
Do you remember me?
Do you go to my school?
No.
Thank you, Ryan.
Uncle Jack, where's my mom?
She's, uh, waiting for you at home.
We'll take you there.
She wants me to stay.
My child.
Are you okay, lady?
Ryan, it's me-- Micki.
Hey. I've got a cousin named Micki.
She's got red hair, too.
Oh.
Ryan, wait.
What did his mother say when you told her?
Well, I-I-I couldn't just tell her over the phone.
We can't just let her see him like...
Mom!
Mom.
Mom?
What's the matter?
You look different.
Aren't you going to hug me?
But you can't be...
It is Ryan, Elizabeth.
This is going to be very hard to explain,
but-but he is Ryan.
You don't remember me, do you?
Of course she does, Ryan.
It's just that you've changed a little bit, that's all.
I'll bet she looks pretty different to you, too,
doesn't she?
Yeah, but she's still the prettiest mom
in the whole world.
Ryan!
