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.
I'm sorry.
Let him go.
It gets easier when you
accept what you are.
A fallen soul.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Door's locked,
no windows broken.
- 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.
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols
Being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up
like Eskimos
A gift from you daughter?
Hmm?
Amy? Don't stayin 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.
I have the best daddy
in the whole world.
Yes,
You certainly do.
But I don't think he'll be home.
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
