I'm home.

Ted? Hey.

I'm here.

Hey.

Hi, honey.

I stopped by the salon to walk home with you. Oh, I really can't do it properly.

How come you walked, though? I thought the car was going to be ready today.

Oh, it's ready.

Eight hundred and fifty bucks.

So it's just going to sit there?

Can't we pay him back a little every week?

Mechanics like cash, honey.

Or credit cards.

You know, maybe we ought to cancel this party thing on Tuesday. No way.

I already bought everything for the lasagna and... No.

What do you think?

It's beautiful.

Or horrible.

Or whatever it's supposed to be.

Do you know what jack -o' -lanterns are for?

To scare away the evil.

You don't need a pumpkin for that, baby.

Just show them the car repair bill.

It's not enough, is it? No, it's not.

There's only one thing that'll scare the evil one away.

And it's definitely not an orange vegetable with a candle stuck in it.

He's here, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Who's he after?

Everybody.

Satan is like a roaring lion roaming through the streets of the world,

for somebody, anybody he can devour.

Like Annie and Rick?

Like everybody in the world, baby.

And God sent me. God sent you, he sent me, and he sent Andrew.

Andrew's got his job, I've got my job, and I want you to stay right with Annie

until this whole thing is over.

All right.

And remember, baby, whatever God can create, Satan can counterfeit.

So he could be anything or anybody.

The worst part is most people don't see him coming until it's almost too late.

Just like a lion.

Just like a lion.

When you walk down the road,

heavy burden, heavy load, I

will ride and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the dawn don't even shine.

Every time I tell you I'll walk with you.

Walk with you. Believe me, I'll walk with you.

What is that?

Somebody's singing hymns or something.

God can.

God can.

Oh, God can.

God can.

And when you cannot find the answer... He's got a nice voice.

I always wished I could sing like that.

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't want to listen to it all the time.

You listen to the jukebox in the bar all the time. What's the difference?

The difference is I can unplug the jukebox if I want.

What? What's the matter, baby?

No, nothing, nothing.

Somebody must know Halloween is coming because you are kicking like the devil

there, aren't you, baby?

Hello.

Hi.

Looks like we're both waiting on someone.

Here, you wait in order.

Annie. Annie Higuera.

Me too.

She's going to have a baby.

Really? Yeah, we're friends.

Hey, Dennis.

Right on time.

Annie Higuera.

My name is Monica.

Can we talk?

I'm here about the job.

Sure.

I mean, you're welcome to take a look around and see what you think.

I mean, it's not like I got more business than I can handle.

All I need is $100 a week rent, and you keep whatever you make on manicures.

Oh, and we'll split benefits, okay?

Dallas works here?

Yeah, you know, sleeping up, odd job.

He doesn't have a mother, and his dad is off drunk somewhere half the time, so I

try to slip him lunch every time I can.

Where's this stuff go?

We're decorating.

My favorite holiday.

Actually, it isn't a holiday at all, because holiday...

means holy day. And there's nothing holy about a bunch of idiots dressed up like

hobgoblins running around in the dark.

I was thinking of doing something special for our party.

Like, um, bobbing for apples or having a seance or something.

I've never been to a seance.

It's scary enough having to talk to living people.

Millie, you coming to my party? Not if I gotta dress up. Oh, come on.

Let's have some fun.

Oh, Monica, you can come too.

Um, it'll just be the six of us. Well, I've never actually been to a Halloween

party before.

Well, then you have to come. And remember, everybody has to come with

Tell you what, why don't I come as an ex -customer?

That's not very creative, Millie.

Oh, for heaven's sake, Clara, your rollers are too tight.

And what are these?

Well, what you got there?

T -Rot? T -Rot cards?

Tarot cards.

Where did you find these?

They were right here in the box.

I wonder where those came from.

You remember that hippie girl that used to come in here all the time?

Smelled just like a muskrat. I bet you they belonged to her.

She was always going on about fortune -telling and herbal tea.

She had very nice bells on her dress.

Can you really tell the future with those things?

No. I see it on TV all the time.

You know those fortune -tellers that you call up? They use tarot cards.

And they tell you... All kinds of incredible things. Like, I saw this one

the psychic lady could tell that the girl on the phone had two different

boyfriends. Just from reading the cards.

Oh, Annie.

Millie, you give me 24 hours to learn how to do this, and if I can prove that

tarot cards are for real, then you have to come to my party. And why do I care

if you do or you don't? If I don't, then you're next in line for free.

Couldn't hurt.

Yeah, I know car repairs are expensive.

Well, at least let me call a guy, you know, who can shave a couple of hundred

off that 850.

No, really.

But thanks.

Yeah, I lost my friend.

Back to work.

Cal here.

Hey, Mikey.

You decide.

Right.

Uh -huh.

Well, I can give you five to one.

Hey, you Rick?

Yeah, Andrew?

Yeah.

Let me see what I was talking about.

There's a heck of a leak going on down here. We can't figure out where it's

coming from.

All right.

Oh, yeah.

Well, it shouldn't be a problem, but it looks like you could use a whole new

line. It might take a couple of days.

Okay. It's pretty slow in here during the day, so... Yeah, it's just, uh...

guy over there on the phone making book, he might not appreciate me banging

around under the bar.

Hey, listen, I'm not gonna play dumb with you, but... I mean, what am I gonna

do, kick out the only guy in here that tips?

He'll be gone soon enough.

These guys, they use your phone for a couple of weeks and... And they move on.

Oh, yeah, they, uh... They roam around.

You good?

Oh, man.

I forgot to record the rent check.

We've got less than I thought.

Oh, you're not going to believe this.

You just said that, look what card came up.

The six, six of pentacles, six of pentacles.

Prosperity, financial balance.

We got money coming.

Honey, I love you, but you crazy.

I'm going to bed.

Did we get any mail today?

Yeah, it's over there.

Everything is threes.

Pentacles and threes.

They must be your lucky number.

I don't believe it.

What?

From your mom's lawyer.

It's more money from her estate, babe.

What? I thought we got it all. Oh, my gosh. $4 ,500?

It happened, Rick.

It happened just like the card said. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Hi.

Any sign of him?

Nobody left his calling card.

Tarot cards, actually.

Sure.

Why waste any time trying to destroy someone when you can get them to do it

themselves? It's very smart.

It's very dangerous.

Do you have any idea who it is?

The enemy can fake anything, anyone.

I've got my suspicions, but we're just going to have to wait for him to make a

mistake and show himself.

And when that happens, we're going to have to be ready.

No.

4 ,000?

$500. Oh, my.

Oh, my goodness.

Monica, it's chipped.

One day, and it's chipped already.

I'm sorry, Millie. If you sit down, I'll fix it for you. Well, thank you.

Clara, what are you doing here? And what are you oh -my -goodnessing about?

Last night, the cards predicted prosperity for me and Rick.

Look what came in the mail.

That is an oh -my -goodness.

You shouldn't be waving that around, Annie. You never know who might be

watching.

So, Monica, how do you feel about this tarot business?

Well, it seems to me that every minute of your time that you spend reading your

future is a minute from your present that is stolen from you. A philosopher

manicurist.

Oh, this is strange.

The swords seem to be saying that you're unaware of danger.

Oh, um, a great power is trying to hurt you.

Like, um, like a lion.

Maybe that's why this card came up.

Lions have always scared me. Now, see? There you go.

An African lion is going to escape from the zoo just so he can attack you while

you're getting your hair tinted.

Don't laugh.

That check came out of the blue and so could a, uh... I...

I think I'm going to go home now.

Oh, Clara, for heaven's sake. Are you coming to my party tomorrow night?

I don't know. I just... I just hate going out after dark.

Oh, please, please, please.

I'll go with her. I don't want to be alone.

That's when I wanted to spend my entire afternoon in an emergency room. I'm

sorry. You'll have to follow us from your car. Look here.

Don't mess with me. My nails are wet, okay? Excuse me.

If it wasn't for you, Clara would be dead.

If Clara hadn't been looking over her shoulder for a lion, she wouldn't have

walked in front of a truck.

I saw a lion.

I saw danger, and that's what happened.

Oh, shoot, I almost forgot about this.

Dennis, would you mind running this over to Rick for me?

Yeah, sure. Tell him I signed it already.

He just needs to put the account number on it and deposit it. No problem. Okay,

thanks.

Monica, you can go home if you want.

No, I'll stay.

Is this your first one?

Yeah.

Boy or girl?

Oh, we don't know yet.

We did that sonogram thing, but the baby's in the wrong position to see. You

know, it doesn't matter anyway as long as it's healthy.

It's off to a great start.

Healthy baby, two great parents.

And he's the best.

But I'm... I don't know.

What?

Look at me, I'm a bartender.

I mean, I wanted to start my own restaurant, but the mill closed and no

Pottstown goes out anymore.

What kind of restaurant?

Well, Annie's got this amazing lasagna recipe.

We're not exactly Italian, but what can I say?

It was a dream anyway.

Well, you got the dream. All you need now is a plan.

I've been working on one.

Then last night, this big check shows up out of nowhere.

I mean, just when we're about to lose our insurance.

Now that's covered and we can pay the rent and get the car out of the shop.

And we can even start a fund for the restaurant.

That's good. I'm happy for you.

What's this about a check?

You get some money?

Yeah. How much?

4 ,500 bucks.

That's a lot of money.

So you're just going to blow it all on monthly bills, right?

What do you mean?

It's just if you let me invest the dough, I could double it, maybe even

it.

That's not the plan, Cal.

I can't take a chance like that.

We lose our medical insurance and we're finished.

Besides, I left a check at home.

Hey, Rick.

Hey, Dennis.

I'm sorry I can't have kids in here. I'm not staying. Annie just wanted me to

bring this over. She's already signed it and everything.

She's not going to believe what happened. Hang on, little man.

We're in the middle of a conversation here, okay?

Look, Rick, you've got a kid on the way. You want to cover the insurance for a

couple of months or a couple of years.

You know Annie's friend Clara?

Well, Annie looked at her tarot cards and said she was going to get hurt by a

lion. And then this big truck almost hit her. She broke her arm, and guess what

it was called?

Lion's cargo.

What?

Annie's card said it would happen, and then it did.

Maybe you ought to have the old lady read those cards for you.

Yeah, she already read the cards for us.

She said we're on a lucky streak.

And bingo, the check arrives.

I call that luck.

I call that good timing.

Maybe.

Rick, you need this money.

Annie's really good at those cards, though.

Yeah. She said that the number three was going to be lucky for me.

Now you're talking.

This is unbelievable.

You want a sure thing?

How about a horse call? Three by three in the third at Belmont tomorrow.

It's going off at ten to one.

That's 45 grand, my friend.

Kismet.

What's the kismet?

It means fate.

Listen, Dennis, you can't tell Annie about this, okay?

I want to surprise her.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

Later.

Here's 4 ,500 on three by three to win in the third.

Good move, kid.

You're going to thank me for this.

What's wrong?

Are you sure my lucky number's three?

Yes, three.

Why? Just asking.

I can't take this anymore.

Yes? I don't know who you are, but I want you to stop singing right now.

Oh, you do, huh?

Yeah. I mean, you're driving me nuts.

And my wife, she's expecting a baby and you're keeping her awake.

Oh.

Well, in that case, please forgive me.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Well, I've done all I can do.

You're leaving? I can't stay where I'm not wanted.

I sang as much as I could and I...

I hope it's enough.

God bless you, baby.

And please remember, don't leave Annie alone.

Happy Halloween.

Nice costume.

Annie, do you mind if I lock the door?

Claire, Claire.

She's driving me crazy.

She won't be alone.

I mean, she won't even go outside unless I come get her.

You can't live your life in fear just because the cards told you to be afraid.

They didn't tell her to be afraid. They told her to be careful.

Yeah, but they created the fear.

And the fear created the accident.

You understand that, don't you, Millie?

Well, it was coincidental.

Does this mean you're coming to my party then?

Well, I'm going to give you one more shot.

You can read my card.

Didn't you learn anything yesterday?

How could she learn anything when she already knows it all?

Uh, Claire.

Go sit in the corner, or I'm going to let the boogeyman have his way with you.

Okay.

You have to shuffle the deck and think of the question you want answered.

All right.

First card.

This is your present situation.

The emperor.

And it's upside down.

There's something standing in your way.

preventing you from getting where you want to go.

Five of swords.

An old enemy returns to settle a score.

What does that mean?

Well, it could mean anything.

It could be a person, a thing.

This next card will narrow it down.

What?

Well, it's the death card.

But if you remember, I'm still kind of new with this.

I can't guarantee what it means.

An old enemy returns with death. That's what it means.

They're just pieces of cardboard.

Don't assume that they mean anything. That's what makes them dangerous.

You know, yesterday, I would have thought you were crazy.

But I'm a practical woman.

And I believe in fact. And the fact is, the money showed up, the lion showed up,

and my old pal's going to show up, too.

Come on, Claire.

See you tonight?

I'll let you know.

Are you all right, honey?

Yeah.

I think somebody is getting a little impatient for the party.

And they're off for the third race here in the rain at Belmont. Three by three,

the long shot takes the early lead.

Come on, three by three, man. You gotta win.

Let's go, three by three.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Oh, come on, yes.

Yes.

You can do it, three by three. Come on, keep going, keep going.

Don't break it.

I'm sorry, Rick.

Third.

Came in third.

Three.

It's my lucky number.

Where's your costume, Dennis?

At home.

You'll have to go get it soon.

What are you going to be?

It's a surprise.

Oh, it's a mystery then.

Hello, Annie's All That Salon.

Oh, hello, Rick.

No, she's in the ladies' room.

Oh.

Wouldn't you like to tell her yourself?

Okay.

Yeah, we'll miss you. Bye. Bye.

Annie, Rick just called.

Oh, good.

Did you remind him to stop by the apartment and pick up the laconia?

He can't come to the party, Annie. He has to work late.

I couldn't tell her.

And I can't face her.

Not yet.

Oh, man.

$4 ,500.

She is going to kill me.

Well, she doesn't have to know.

She's going to know, Cal.

Not necessarily.

Call some friends I know.

You do them a couple of favors someday.

And they put $4 ,500 in your pocket tonight, cash.

If you know what I mean.

Yeah, Cal. He knows what you mean. And he's not interested.

Hey, why don't you shut up and let the man speak for himself?

Rick, he's bad news. Walk away.

You know, I was so sure.

I mean, those cards were right about everything else. Those cards got you to

to your wife.

You managed in a couple of hours to gamble thousands of dollars away.

And now you're thinking about going in debt to a loan shark.

Or worse.

Rick, this is how people ruin their lives.

Just like this.

Believe me, there's nothing right about those cards. Just forget about them.

Forget about Cal.

Whatever you've lost today, you've still got Annie.

You've got a baby on the way. Don't risk losing all that.

Look, Cal, I get it.

I'm out of here.

Here, there are the phones, you know.

What a loser.

I can't tell you how glad I am to see him go.

Okay, Clara, you can let go now.

Hi, Millie.

Hi, Clara.

Were you girls on your way to the party? Well, actually, something's come up,

and I'm not going to be able to go. I was hoping you would take Clara the rest

of the way.

I have to work tonight.

Oh, well.

Clara, honey, maybe you could just run really fast.

No.

I need a scotch.

But what about poor Annie?

She's been planning the party for weeks.

Well, she's still got the kid and that Monica woman.

Monica does manicures at the salon.

She's cute, but slow.

You married?

No, ma 'am.

Millie, you know, I don't think I've ever seen you drink. Well, when an old

enemy returns to settle a score, you just gotta be ready.

I just can't imagine you having an enemy in the world. And that's what makes you

so very Clara.

Barkeep.

Just keep them coming.

This world is as dangerous, Andrew.

When you've been living as long as I have, you'll understand.

I just hope that when the cards tell you something, you won't ignore it.

If I paid more attention, this probably wouldn't have happened. It's like a

sign.

I don't belong out there anymore.

Okay. Let's say it is a sign.

Then the question is,

Who sent it?

She's right, you know.

We don't pay enough attention to the signs until it's too late.

Well, I've been trying to change that.

You're a good kid, Rick.

Listen, if something were to happen to me, you and Annie, you'd look out for

Clara, wouldn't you?

Yeah, of course we would.

But nothing's going to happen to you.

Things happen all the time.

That old enemy, I know who it is.

Cancer.

Beat it once, but it's coming back.

I just can't go through that again.

The chemo, the radiation, the fear.

I won't do it. I won't.

I just want this to be over with fast.

Millie, you've been lied to.

I'm going to tell you the truth.

You're not going to die of cancer.

And you're not going to die tonight.

And how do you know this?

I'm an angel.

And God sent me here to tell you that he wants you to live.

Where's Millie and Clara?

I don't know.

They're late.

Rick can't come.

Oh, well. At least they're here.

No, Monica, if you'll take those back to recycling, I think we'll be ready.

Okay.

I'll just be a minute. Don't start without me.

Hey, we can't start until you put on your costume.

Right.

I'm kind of hungry, though.

Oh, no.

Little Bonnie's still at home. Shoot.

Dennis, tell Monica I'll be right back. I want you to go get it. Okay.

And go put on your costume.

Dennis?

Honey?

She isn't here, is she? I don't know what happened. I went into the back room

for just a moment and... The devil only needs a moment, baby.

Now, don't waste a lot of time feeling bad.

He deceived everybody.

Just go and find her.

And remember, baby, you're not just fighting for Annie alone.

There's more at stake.

There's the future of a little boy.

Go on.

Hey. Hey, yourself.

We haven't been properly introduced.

I'm Tess.

I'm, um... You're Rick. I know. And her name is Clara.

Hey, Tess. Hey, baby.

What is that gun?

He's coming, isn't he?

Your enemy's coming, and now you're going to shoot him.

Millie's enemy is not coming back. But there is another enemy that we need to

discuss. Sit down, baby. This is going to take a little time.

And, Andrew, will you get rid of that thing?

What the?

Now, what you've just seen is not magic, and it's not strength.

It's simply a demonstration of something that people don't think about too much.

And that's the fact that there's more going on in the world than you realize.

What you see is not all there is. There is God.

There are angels.

There is good and evil. And there is a battle going on that you all don't even

know you're fighting. And that's why I'm here, and that's why Andrew's here.

We're angels.

Is this some kind of joke?

Oh, no. No, it's true.

I know this is hard for you to believe, but we want you to listen to us, okay?

Really listen.

Angels are messengers from God.

And our message usually is God exists and God loves you. He does, you know.

He really does.

But tonight, there's more to the message.

Satan exists.

And he hates you.

He hates anything that God loves.

Oh, dear.

Oh, my goodness.

Stop babbling. Let the angel talk.

There's a lot of trouble going on around here.

Gambling, paranoia, even thoughts of suicide.

And it's all because...

You put your faith in thee.

Now, these cards aren't smart, and they're not psychic.

They're just little pieces of paper with pictures on them. But when you put them

down and start asking them questions, you're giving Satan an invitation to

in and give you an answer. Now, some of the answers are lies, and some of them

are almost true.

But they're always the answer that he wants you to hear.

And the problem is you've been listening to him.

And he's got you exactly where he wants you. You're emotionally paralyzed.

You're sitting in a bar on Halloween night as opposed to where you're

to be.

Annie's party.

That's right.

But why does the devil care if we go to a party?

I mean, why would he even bother with us at all?

Because he wants you out of the way.

He's a magician.

He's got you busy looking over here at tarot cards, lucky numbers, and the

boogeyman. So you won't notice what he's doing over here.

He wants you to miss that party because he wants Annie all by herself.

But she's not by herself. I mean, Dennis is there and Monica, right?

911. Call 911.

Don't you want to see my costume?

I am here.

I love it when you guys do that.

Oh, Monica.

It's too soon.

Monica, call 911.

Yeah, Monica, go call 911.

Annie, I can't.

I can't leave you and Dennis know that.

Turned my back on him once. I won't do it again.

I won't leave you alone with the devil.

The devil?

Yes.

You see, I'm an angel, Annie.

God sent me to Earth to tell his children that he is real and that he

But there's something else I must tell you tonight.

Satan is real, too.

Yes.

I know he looks like a little boy, but that's because the devil is a liar and a

deceiver.

Even I was deceived.

Now I see him for what he really is.

A beast.

A monster who hates everything that is good and everything that can be good.

God loves you. He loves you so much.

And he loves this little boy that you're going to have.

Boy!

Not if I can help it.

Listen to me, Annie.

Dennis thought that if he brought you here alone, there would be no one to

you, but he was wrong.

There is someone.

Someone who loves you.

But you must call out to him.

If you call on his name, then the enemy must leave.

Annie? Oh, darn.

Passed right out, huh?

Hey, these things happen.

Almighty God, Father in heaven, help us now, please help us.

Please, Father.

She's not answering at the salon or at home.

I'm calling the police.

No, baby, the police don't know how to fight a thing like this.

Well, then you better tell me who does, because I'm not just going to sit here

while Annie's in danger.

Did I say anything about sitting here?

And if you want to know who's going to fight the devil, you are.

Me? The three of you.

You're going to have to put on your armor and stand up to him for

for Annie, for the baby, and for the world.

Uh, can we have the gun back? You don't need the gun. We're not dealing with

flesh and blood here.

The devil didn't hit you in the head with a rock.

He got to you through the things that you fear the most.

And that's how we've got to get to him.

And the only thing he's scared of is the presence of the living God.

How do we get that?

You asked for it.

Pray.

I don't know how to do that.

Yes, you do.

Why do you think I moved into the apartment next door? That wasn't just

I was doing.

Ted, it's time.

We have to go.

Annie.

Annie, you must wake up. You must wake up.

Take your time.

Honey.

Annie, don't give up.

Don't give up. You have to have this baby.

Annie, what you have to do is take care of yourself.

Go back to sleep.

There'll be other kids. Trust me.

This one doesn't matter.

All babies matter to God, Annie.

And this one even matters to him.

He knows that every child is a precious gift from God, born with a purpose and

the potential to make a difference in the world.

I think that's why Dennis is especially worried about this little boy.

He knows that he's something special.

And that someday he may grow up to do great things for God.

And that scares the devil very much, Annie.

I'm scared.

I know you are, Annie.

But you don't have to fight this by yourself.

God will fight this for you. If you ask him, just call out to him.

The enemy cannot stand in the presence of God.

Help me.

I'm just... Tell me what to do. Tell me what to say.

What do I say? What do I say?

Honey? Well, I'd say that's about it for her, wouldn't you?

When you can't turn to God,

kid.

We can't sing and have a baby at the same time, can we?

Yes, God can.

My God can do more for you than you would ask or think because he holds

almighty power in his hand.

And when you can't see your way, just remember that my friend, God can.

God can.

When one voice stops, God will always raise up other voices to take up the
