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 ]

[ 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 ofthe 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 1 999,
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
