He's strange.

- It's...

- What?

It's different.

He's different.

Now why would you think

something like that?

He's just a little boy, Kate.

He got scared, that's all.

I'm gonna go to bed.

OK.

Easy.

Easy, boy.

Quiet down.

This is the master of the house.

Mrs. Baylock, what is this?

- Sir?

- This dog.

We found him outside.

- Who said you could bring a dog in here?

- I'm sorry, sir. Did he scare you?

- That's not the point...

- He'll be a good watchdog, sir.

Believe me, you'll be grateful

on those long trips away.

Mrs. Baylock, when and if we need a dog,

I'll pick one out myself.

Thank you.

Damien has grown quite fond of him, sir.

Tomorrow morning you'll call the RSPCA

and have him removed.

Do you understand?

Come on.

Good night, Mr. Thorn.

So, how's the new nanny working out?

She seems good.

But so did the last one.

I know the two of you were there

when the other girl...

With your kids. I hope they're OK.

- They're fine. Really.

- Yeah, they're fine.

Come along, children.

Stay close together.

Damien.

Damien.

Damien?

Hey.

Damien?

What's the matter? Those other kids

didn't wanna play with you?

They're afraid.

Let's go look at the birds.

Let's do that.

Hi.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

How's Damien?

What's wrong?

Did something happen today, Kate?

We went to the zoo...

with all the other children.

There's something about Damien.

He's so far away.

Something's not right.

I must be a terrible person

for even thinking such things.

No. No.

Kate...

I need to talk to someone.

OK. OK.

What can I do, baby?

I need to talk to someone.

OK.

Tomorrow, Mr. Thorn. One o'clock.

Bishop's Park, by the bridge.

Just five minutes

and you'll never see me again.

Your wife's in grave danger.

She'll die if you don't come.

Damien?

Are you OK?

Damien?

All right, you've got your five minutes.

Now tell me why I'm here.

"When the Jews return to Zion

And a comet rips the sky,

When the Holy Roman Empire rises,

Then you and I must die.

From the eternal sea he rises,

Creating armies on either shore,

Turning man against his brother,

Till man exists no more."

You said my wife was in danger.

Go to the town of Megiddo

in the walled city of Jezreel.

There lives a man named Bugenhagen.

He alone can describe

how the child must die.

What child?

What are you talking about?

Your son, Mr. Thorn.

The son of the devil.

I came here

because you said my wife was in danger.

She's pregnant.

- That's impossible.

- That's what they told you, Mr. Thorn.

He will not allow the child to be born.

He'll kill it while it slumbers in the womb.

He'll kill the unborn child

and then he'll kill your wife.
