[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

A beautiful baby girl.

Yes.

Yes, she's just perfect.

I'll give you to Sister Yvonne.

She's dying to talk to you.

Mrs. York, wait until you see her.

She's a tiny miracle.

[THUNDER ROARING]

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Then we'll expect you.

All right.

Bye.

The clouds sweep away the colour.

Leaves everything like a black and white photograph.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Wait!

Okay, all right, tell me again about the parents.

Any history of drug abuse or alcohol addiction?

Honey.

Honey, we're supplying the environment,

but we're inheriting the genes, the condition of the womb,

whether the mother was traumatized,

during the period of gestation.

Whoa!

It's all important.

You're going to be the mother of this child,

not her lawyer. Right.

Right.

Sister, I'm so sorry.

I'm just so insecure about all this,

and you know we tried so hard.

I'm just not anxious to take on a load

of problems I'm not prepared for.

She has a sins of the father thing.

[KAREN] I do not.

[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]

All I can tell you is that the mother was at university,

and the father was an exchange student.

Sweetheart, if there are any complications,

psychological or physical, we'll handle it.

She's got us. Yeah.

My best friend's a doctor.

Besides, I play racquet-ball

with a couple of good shrinks.

You're such a wise guy.

[CHILDREN SHOUTING]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

She's beautiful.

[MOTHER GASPING]

Okay.

She's beautiful.

[GUESTS GASPING] Ta-da

[WOMAN IN RED] She's beautiful!

Everybody, I'd like you to meet Delia.

What's she gonna sing?

Any requests?

I don't know.

When she's hungry, she can hit notes

Tina Turner hasn't thought of.

[DELIA CRYING]

Ow!

She scratched me.

Excuse me, doctor in the house.

Let's take a look at this.

It's nothing, you'll be all right.

I don't know what happened.

She stopped crying as soon as Gene picked her up.

I don't know what I did.

Aye, yie, yie.

Maybe this pin came undone while you were burping her.

What museum did we get this from?

No, I take full blame.

I was the one who insisted that she go

au natural with diapers and safety pins.

Well, I don't think it merits a law suit.

But you come see me in the morning, all right.

Okay.

Come on, here.

Come on.

Delia, you scratched your mommy.

You okay?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

An eclipse is hardly an event, Sister Yvonne.

Hardly an event?

A spontaneous eclipse?

How many spontaneous eclipses have you seen in your life?

Don't speak to me in that fashion!

You've damned us, cursed us with that child!

I can think of no worse curse than the murder of a child!

We should never have been born!

Be quiet! Dear Father in Heaven,

we are heartily sorry. Quiet!

[DEEP GASPING]

[GENTLE SOBBING]

No!

[GASPING DEEPLY]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[BELL TOLLING]

[LOUD SCREAMING]

I don't believe this.

[LOU] Yeah, well, antibiotics will stop it.

But those red marks mean serious infection, don't they?

I mean how can a baby's fingernail do so much damage?

Who knows?

I had a client who got athlete's foot once in the Caribbean.

She almost lost her leg.

Yeah, Lou, but this

Karen, I'm a doctor.

I've seen every conceivable type of infection, believe me.

On a scale of one to 10, this is a big two.

Besides the good news is, you got your baby!

Yeah.

[LOU] No more testing, isn't that a relief?

Just my annual PAP smear.

That's right.

You know I just don't get it.

Gene and I have been tested.

We're both okay.

I should've been pregnant a dozen times by now.

Oh Karen, that happens to lots of couples.

Three times a day.

Thank you.

[LOU] So, what made you and Gene decide on the name Delia?

It's a pretty name, isn't it?

[LOU] Beautiful.

It means always visible in Greek.

Besides, I had an Aunt Delia

who was the first woman in our home town to run for office.

Thought it might be a good luck name as well.

Oh, yeah?

Grooming her for office?

[KAREN] It's a family tradition.

[BELL TOLLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Now sanctify this water

that your servants who are washed in it may become one

with Christ, his death and resurrection,

to be cleansed and delivered from sin.

Anoint them with your Holy Spirit,

that they may be born again in your church.

That they may become inheritors of your glorious kingdom.

[BABY COOING]

Delia, I baptize you

[BABY SCREAMING] in the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

[BABY SCREAMING]

[WOMAN] Give her to me, give her to me.

Hey!

[WOMAN MOANS]

[CAMERAMAN] Smile nice, Mr. Congressman.

Drop your drawers for Capitol Hill.

[EARL GROANING]

Sure was convenient that somebody took

that picture of Resnick in the motel room.

Who cares who took it?

Someone nailed the incumbent.

Look, Resnick is a crook and a whore monger.

Those photographs will bury him.

You've had six weeks to think about it. What do you say?

Why do you want me to run, Jake?

Fishing. For answers.

Not compliments, you know what I stand for.

Look how many hours have you spent complaining to me

about the bungling bureaucracy and how you'd change things?

A couple thousand at least.

Well, now is the time to put some muscle

where your mouth is.

A lot of us agree with you

and think they all ought to take their sweet deals,

and their perks and bulging pensions and take a hike.

You're young.

You don't need the money.

You come from a political family.

You've got the looks, the brains.

Everything that spells voter appeal.

I said, no compliments. [JAKE CHUCKLES]

No, that was the downside.

Wait till you hear what I like about you.

[REPORTER] Gene York, popular Virginia legislator,

has announced he will run for Congress

for the 14th District seat now held

by the scandal-ridden Graham Resnick.

Exit polls at this time indicate

that Gene York should win the 14th District

by an unprecedented majority.

You've got a meeting with Noland tomorrow at 2:00.

He saved my daughter's life.

Are you okay, baby?

Are you okay?

Yeah?

He's been bathed.

He's had his shots.

All checked out he's fine.

She adores him.

He adores her.

Okay, okay.

He'd be good protection for her too.

[REPORTER] Congressman Gene York kicked off

his re-election campaign by issuing a renewed pledge

for the plight of the disadvantaged.

The popular Virginia congressman

continues to lead all polls. [REPORTERS CLAMOURING]

No, I'm not.

I'm not talking to you, Jerome.

[CHILDREN CHATTING EXCITINGLY]

But he hit her for God sake!

Her lip was cut.

I've heard enough!

If he did, she probably deserved it.

She spit at him.

Bit him so hard his hand swelled up.

You got a psycho for a daughter.

And you, Mr. Congressman, see what happens next election.

Mr. Creighton, I never bow to threats.

Now please leave before I lose my temper.

[DOORS THUDDING]

What a first-class jerk.

Do you suppose it happened the way

[ENGINE REVVING]

Delia told us it happened?

Sure.

Why not?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Daddy.

Tell me.

Exactly what kind of problems

have you been having with this boy at school?

He's always doing something to me.

Calling me names or hitting me.

Are you sure you didn't start it?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

He started it by putting his gum in my hair

that very first day.

I know, I remember.

How about doing your dad a big favour,

and staying far away from him?

That whole family is trouble.

Daddy, there won't be any trouble.

That's my girl.

I promise.

Can you identify this one for me?

[STUDENTS] Killer whale!

All right, and where does it go?

That's perfect. [BELL RINGING]

You got it we're finished, recess.

Thank you very much. [CHILDREN CHEERING]

Can you go put this away?

Hey!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC] Gimme my watch back!

Give it back!

Don't you dare!

You're so brave, come get it!

I'm gonna tell Miss Norris.

She still needs friends, though.

There you go.

Here you go.

Alex?

Well it looks like you're gonna be our guest for a while.

Okay, Delia. Hi, sweetheart.

What is it?

Let's talk outside. Be right back, honey.

Thank you.

What?

Well you can both relax.

There's no sign of internal bleeding,

but I'm gonna run a couple tests and take some X-rays.

Aside from a few bruises and maybe a slight concussion.

[SIGHING] Thank God.

I still don't understand what happened.

Why that horse bolted.

Yeah, well, that happens sometimes, Gene.

Especially when a child is becoming a woman.

What?

Delia started menstruating.

Lou that's impossible, she's only eight years old.

No, well, it's not impossible.

It's rare, but it's not impossible.

I'll help you explain it to her if you want.

Yeah.

You look tired, Karen.

You can afford some help.

She's old enough, do it.

So sorry to have kept you waiting.

It's okay. Just got off

the phone with the agency.

You must have relatives there.

They gave you a four-star rating.

Well they like to recommend me for special families.

Special families?

Families with special needs.

I like a challenge.

Well then, welcome to the Olympics.

Come on, I want you to meet Delia.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOG GROWLING] [WOMAN GASPS]

That's just Ryder, he's friendly.

Delia.

I'd like you to meet Miss Thueson.

Jo, please call me Jo.

Short for Josephine.

First names are more friendly.

Hello. Hi, there, Delia.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[DELIA] What's this?

That's a healing crystal.

[DOG GROWLING] Isn't that pretty?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Come on, I'll show you to your room.

I'm not anti-business, Jake,

but I'm not gonna let you pave over

our parks with concrete eyesores.

You cripple construction, you cripple the country.

The only reason you campaigned for me

is so you could have a connection on the Hill.

I don't deserve that. You gotten greedy, Jake.

You're trying to turn me into what we both hated.

Good boy, Ryder.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Yeah.

Good boy.

Come on.

Come on, Ryder.

Its a tye-dye. Mm-hmm.

Oh, it is, it beautiful. It's really good for her.

They grow just like that?

Mm-hmm.

They grow with points? Well, sometimes

you find them like that.

Hi, honey. Artificially cut.

The Book of Light.

It's all about healing and crystals.

And stupid junk!

I'm going out to play.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Delia, come back here.

No, it's okay, Mrs. York.

Well, just let her get used to me a little.

She'll get used to you after she apologizes, excuse me.

Delia!

[TENSE MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[JO] They're all black!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Noah, can you come over?

I need to talk.

You feel it too?

Tightening in the throat?

Yeah. Ever since I got here.

Energy's real low.

Look at my palms.

Is that the girl?

Yeah.

What do you get from her?

Anything?

Very weird.

It's more like a muddy pool than an aura.

It's like mud and molasses.

Swirls of red paint.

[JO] Does that mean what I think it does?

[NOAH] A very negative life force.

Red means violence.

She's got a violent streak, all right.

Swirled together like that, it means rage and chaos.

[JO] Is she dangerous?

Why don't you get her on my turf?

Bring her to the fair.

Let others see her.

That was my plan.

So why don't you just get out?

I'll see you at the fair.

Are you all right? Yeah.

[HORN HONKING] [TIRES SCREECHING]

[DELIA] Your creepy friend almost caused an accident.

Was he drunk?

No, Mrs. York.

He was sick.

You saw him, Delia.

He was sweating.

He could hardly catch his breath.

Maybe he was sick.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[BELL TOLLING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Jo said she saw what?

[KAREN] She saw an inverted cross on the mirror.

Karen, I'm sure there's some explanation for it.

You can handle it.

[KAREN] Honey, I know I can handle it.

I just wanted to talk to you about it.

Look I got a committee meeting.

I gotta go.

You saw the cross yourself, Mrs. York.

No, I don't know.

I don't know anything any more.

I'm just so tired.

I know you're tired.

That's why I'm here.

I understand kids, Mrs. York.

They just want to fit in.

Let me take her out this weekend, just the two of us.

Okay. There's a psychic fair.

Psychic fair.

Psychic fair, I don't know.

I don't want Delia getting involved in anything strange.

There's nothing strange about metaphysics and new thought.

It's very positive.

She'll be one up on her friends.

She doesn't have any friends.

Well maybe she'll make some new friends.

Okay.

Okay.

He's a very important man, and I'm sure that you'll be.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I feel a very strong aura emanating.

[NOAH] Okay, here's what we got.

This should help you interpret it.

Let's take a look.

No.

No.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You were a dancer, many lifetimes.

Yea, thank you. Enjoy the fair.

Thank you.

[DELIA] What's this place?

This is Noah and a couple of friends.

Let's get our picture taken, huh?

[DELIA] What are you doing?

I thought it'd be fun to get our picture taken.

No, you didn't!

Oh, my God.

It's just like I saw it.

This isn't an aura.

It's like an infection, a pestilence.

Look how it's spread over Jo.

Noah, these colours, for lack of, are sepia and black.

This is the aura of a Borgia, not a little girl.

[WIND BLOWING SWIFTLY]

Jo!

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

[MAN GASPING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[MAN ON FIRE SCREAMING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Does anyone know how the fire started?

No.

You know what a Kirlian photograph is?

No.

It photographs auras.

Jo was given one of these photographs.

It was taken of her and Delia at the psychic fair.

Karen you know I don't believe in any of that stuff.

And anyway what does that have to do with the fire?

If you don't believe in that stuff,

there's other stuff, like lying,

all kinds of accusations about dual behaviour.

Delia behaves differently in front of other people

than she does in front of us.

You're still not answering my question.

What does this any of this have to do with the fire?

What I'm trying to say is Jo says that Delia

is a very powerful personality.

Like Carrie setting fire to the prom powerful?

[FRIEND CHUCKLING]

Karen, would you give me a major break here?

Shame on you for buying into that crap

and letting others judge what kind of a child you have.

What is the matter with your vision?

Anyway, I'm committed to having Jo stay.

She's determined to get through to Delia,

and I want her to try again.

So, I understand the guys have patched things up.

Yeah, thank God.

Jake flew up to meet him.

I think he just got carried away

with having a friend in a high place.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] He helped put Gene there.

Are you talking about Daddy?

My daddy's going to be president.

No, I ordered the reds I ordered the reds.

Are you sure there's enough seating for 200?

Watch out for the ferns!

Let's go Delia's alone.

This is a chance for us to talk.

Just pack up and come with me.

I can't, Noah.

You have the photograph.

You're sharing her aura.

Everything she touches turns to illness.

The tone below illness is death!

For heaven's sake, Noah.

She's just a little girl.

What were you doing?

Meditating, asking for guidance.

I just wanna help you, Delia.

If you'll just help me to understand.

What?

About what happened at the psychic fair and other things.

About the trouble with the kids at school,

starting with kindergarten.

I know they were unkind to you there.

Yes.

Jerome teased me.

He stuck gum in my hair, kicked in my lunch pail.

He hit me.

Is that why you hurt him?

I didn't hurt him.

He was a sissy.

And then his father was killed in that terrible accident.

How did you feel about that?

I don't know.

In my bathroom, the cross?

Upside down?

Do you know what that means?

Yes.

Who taught that to you?

My father.

Your father taught you that?

My father, is your father.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I don't understand.

[JO GASPS]

What's the matter with you?

Why did you do that?

What evil made you do that?

I think Karen may be pregnant.

What?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

We've sedated her.

[GENE] He told us if we stopped trying

you might get pregnant.

I know, I know but.

But what?

We were both tested, and there was nothing wrong.

So it was always 50-50 chance you'd get pregnant,

and you did.

Now, be happy. I am happy.

I'm just not gonna let anything happen.

What could happen? I don't know.

You should've seen her face.

She doesn't want me to have this baby.

Karen, come on.

How can you say something like that?

She wouldn't try to hurt you.

You said yourself it was just a game.

Children just don't know when to stop.

I think you're nervous.

That's gonna be an umbrella excuse for whatever

I'm feeling over the next five months.

I can see it coming.

Gene, our daughter isn't sacrosanct.

Every time her odd behaviour is mentioned,

you get all defensive.

Her behaviour is not odd.

Lou told you when children no longer

feel the centre of attention,

they sometimes do outrageous things.

That's what happened.

I had a serious talk with her.

She promised she wouldn't do it again.

There's all kinds of things.

Jo's Book of Light.

She flashed it at me at the window

like she wanted me to see it.

I found it in the bushes.

Parts of it are underlined,

making references to Bible passages,

and in it was a photograph of Jo and Delia

at the psychic fair. Karen.

It was a Kirlian photograph.

Gene, please listen to me!

I talked to the man who took it.

He was a friend of Jo's.

It photographs auras.

Honey, come on!

Don't you think it's odd that our daughter

has never had any childhood illnesses?

No not necessarily.

She obviously has a strong immune system.

Strong immune system.

Friends, friends, she has no friends.

Don't you think that's odd?

Yes, okay, that's odd. Yes.

But I didn't have any friends too.

I was an only child, and I turned out okay.

Karen, look.

I'll keep my eyes open, okay.

I'll be on the lookout.

If I see anything strange, anything at all,

I'll deal with it.

We'll deal with it together?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Us.

Come on.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Delia?

Come on, time to go.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Doctor says, You're pregnant.

She says, I want a second opinion.

He says, Okay, you're ugly.

[GUESTS CHUCKLING]

One of the niceties I miss about

having dinner is saying grace.

Delia, do you remember that simple prayer

of thanks I taught you?

No.

Sure you do.

Thank you, Lord, for thy bountiful gifts.

I don't remember it!

Audible prayers can sometimes be a little embarrassing.

Let's vote against it, huh?

Not everything is up for a vote, Gene.

[GENTLE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

[PRIEST] Hello, you must be Mrs. York.

Hello, Father Mattson?

Yes, how do you do?

Congratulations.

Thank you, I'm six months.

Father. Yes.

I need your advice.

I wanna know if you're familiar with this New Age book.

Please, let's go inside. Thank you.

There are several Bible references in this book.

One is from Revelations.

Right here. Ah, yes.

And he stood on the sand of the seashore.

Where is it?

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea,

having 10 horns and seven heads,

and on his horns were 10 diadems,

and on his heads were blasphemous names.

The Book of Revelation will be argued

until the Apocalypse of course, please.

But we believe the beast to be the Antichrist.

Because in God's eyes, that's exactly what he is, a beast.

The 10 horns are a confederation of 10 nations.

The seven heads are the seven leaders

who will give him their allegiance.

They form an alliance with the Antichrist.

So, it's about politics?

There's nothing that isn't politics, Mrs. York.

Look around us.

We're ushering in the Antichrist

to a world of overpopulation, pollution, crime.

Our hell is his paradise.

So, we brought this on ourselves?

We helped usher him in.

[CHUCKLING] This is crazy.

We're just speaking figuratively here, right?

Well whatever makes you comfortable.

But, yes, you're right, we are ushering him in.

That part of us that's the worst of us,

is what gives him his power.

So you're saying we're all in league with the devil?

Most of us unknowingly, of course, but there are others.

What do you mean, what others?

Well, leaders who plunder

the treasuries of their poor countries,

trashing their own people,

driving them into famine, hopelessness, disease.

Men who pave over forests

that provide the very air we breathe.

These are the true apostates.

These are the ones who are laying out

the red carpet for the Antichrist.

So, you do believe the Antichrist will come?

Yes, I do.

Uttering haughty and blasphemous words,

and allowed to exercise authority for 42 months.

42 months that's all it'll take?

A politician can do a lot of harm in 42 months.

This man will be a terrible, charismatic liar.

Millions are gonna believe in his one world, one religion.

Do you think he can be stopped?

I'd pack it in if I didn't.

We all do what we can, right?

Yes, Father.

Yes, we all do what we can.

[DOOR CREAKS]

Hi, honey, is your mother home?

She's across the street.

Let me just leave you something for your mother to read.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOG GROWLING]

[DOG BARKING]

[DOG GROWLING]

Ladies, excuse me.

I live in this house, what happened?

I only said hello.

We handed her a pamphlet.

You didn't scare her?

With a smile?

That little girl, the things she said!

I've never heard language like that!

She tore up the pamphlet we left,

and then threatened us with your dog.

Please, just wait here I'll get you some money.

You get to your room right now!

Why, I didn't... Don't argue with me, go!

Delia, what happened?

They scared me.

They said the world was gonna end, and that I was a sinner

who was going to burn to death unless I do what they say.

That's just not true.

Yes, it is.

Those end-of-the-world zealots

have been around since I was a kid.

They scared the hell out of me.

I had nightmares for a week.

Gene, that's not what happened.

Mommy, you weren't even there.

[GENTLE DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You did it again.

You found an excuse.

Way back in your childhood,

you found a corollary with what happened today.

She told us what happened.

It never occurred to you that she

might not be telling the truth?

No, Karen, it never occurred to me.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[BELL TOLLING]

[CHILDREN SHOUTING]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

I should guess you're about eight months along.

Oh, about eight months, and two days,

and 12 hours and 23 minutes.

So, you have no idea what happened to Sister Yvonne?

She chose a secular life.

That's all I can tell you.

No contact at all?

[NUN] None.

Forwarding address?

I don't think so.

There's something wrong, isn't there?

I'll see if I can find some address that might help you.

Great.

Reverend Mother,

do you think it's possible

for a child to be born evil?

A child is not born evil.

It's the world it's born into that's filled with evil.

But you believe in original sin?

Yes, but there are degrees of sin.

To what degree it will be manifested depends on

how close we come to God.

Then the idea of an evil seed.

God wouldn't create something evil!

Man does that for him.

[SOFT SIGHING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

What's wrong?

I can't get up.

I feel like the Goodyear blimp.

Couldn't say no to the ice cream, could you?

Come one, come on, he kidnapped his kid.

He jumped bail, and snatched the boy.

Don't give me that.

The bastard doesn't give a damn about his kid.

He's holding the boy hostage.

You bet.

And you tell your slimy client

that he's in bounty country now.

And I'm gonna bag him, field dress him,

slam him across the hood of my car like a gutted moose,

and drop him on the steps of the county jail!

[TELEPHONE SLAMS]

I'm partial to Chinese, Charlie Chan's my hero.

I newer saw a pregnant lawyer before.

Well you know courtrooms,

you look away for a second and [GASPS]!

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

With a sense of humour, hmm.

My friend Forrey Riggs told me about you.

Lawyer, Black, very smart, wife's a teacher.

Yeah, I remember.

I went on a dig for him. He says you dig pretty good.

Sit down.

[KAREN] I'd like you to do some investigative work for me.

I play Paul Drake to your Perry Mason?

No, I gave up my practice long ago.

Congressman Resnick.

Graham Resnick!

Oh, yeah.

I enjoyed taking him down.

Then my husband got his job.

I know who you are.

Your husband's pretty clean.

He's a good guy.

Tell him to keep it that way.

Why did you choose Resnick as your target?

[EARL] Citizen's Action Committee contacted me.

Could you tell me who was on the committee?

My fee is three hundred a day, plus expenses.

I want you to find someone for me.

Missing persons is most of my business.

The baby in this photograph is our adopted daughter.

I want you to find her parents.

The young novice is Sister Yvonne.

I have an address for her.

I'm not sure that it's good.

This photograph was taken years ago

at St. Francis Orphanage.

There's more.

There's so much more.

There's a rash of things that have happened over the years.

A Kirlian photograph that was taken by a psychic, Noah.

I can get you his last name.

See, it started with the baptism.

There was a terrible accident with Father Hayes,

and then there was Jo.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down, slow down.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry!

It's all right.

It's just that so much has happened.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Come here.

Citizen's Action Committee.

The ones who paved the way for your husband.

Huh.

Smell a rat?

Yeah.

[EARL] Hell of a world, huh?

Yeah, it's a hell of a world.

I have told you all I can, Mr. Knight.

The law prevents me from giving you

the names of Delia's biological parents.

Mrs. York already told you they were a young couple

at the university who got careless.

[HORN HONKING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Reverend Mother, did we order two clowns to perform?

Of course not!

What in Lord's name?

Excuse me a moment, Mr. Knight.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

It's beautiful, honey.

Karen, look at this.

She drew the family trees of our founding fathers.

Never known a child so interested in politics.

May I be excused?

Mm-hmm.

It's beautiful, honey.

I came home early today, you weren't here.

[KAREN] That photograph of Graham Resnick and the hooker.

You know who set him up?

Do you? Jake Millican.

[GENE] How'd you find out?

[KAREN] A little detective work.

[GENE] On your own?

I had a little professional help.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Excuse me, excuse me.

Have you seen this young woman?

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[BARTENDER] Yeah, she used to come in here.

Don't look like that any more, though.

[EARL] We all get older.

Well heavy drinking and turning tricks don't help.

Where is she now?

What are you, a cop?

[EARL] Was.

Well was don't cut it, pal.

See only birdies sing for free.

What does 20 bucks get me, Vanna?

A vowel, maybe a consonant.

Oh, he's a tough guy.

Here you go.

Pimp's name is Misha Russkie.

Uh-huh.

First McDonald's now pimping they learn fast.

Uh-uh.

He'll be in around after dark, pop in around 9:00.

I gotta keep track of my expenses.

Give me a blank receipt, I'll fill it in later.

A dishonest cop.

Ex.

Ex.

What's this world coming to, huh?

Going straight to hell, pal.

Oh, yeah.

Straight to hell.

Yes, she was no good for me.

She starts for to preaching to her tricks.

Bad for business.

Eh, I had to dump her.

She got religion again, huh?

No, she starts for to hearing voices, becomes a prophet.

Calls herself Felicity.

Now she has a cult in North Carolina.

I don't know where.

But I'll tell you this.

She does better than me now.

Eh.

Okay.

Just tell me what this means.

All right, all right, all right.

The young couple existed,

but they're not your daughter's parents.

They both died in the 1930s,

and they didn't even know each other.

What?

You've got Sister Yvonne, a nun who became a hooker,

and now some kind of hellfire prophet with a cult.

She goes by the name of Felicity.

I tracked her down to a small town in North Carolina.

Thought maybe I'd go and share her vision.

What about Noah?

Disappeared after Jo's death.

Something must have scared the hell out of him.

[DEEP GASPING] [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Mrs. York!

Are you all right?

Just get me to my car.

Come, come on, this way, come on.

She tried to kill my baby!

Your baby's fine, Karen.

Could Delia have anything to do with this?

Oh, don't be silly let's just give you a healthy baby.

That was 50 seconds.

You did great, huh?

Hi.

Okay. Okay.

It's all arranged.

I'm sending a lady over to help take care of Delia.

She's an ex-nurse her name is Miss Roselli.

That's great, and thanks.

Who are you?

Karen, this is the anaesthesiologist.

No, no anaesthesia! Honey.

Just in case. No, no!

Just in case. No!

Rise with me, my friends, rise.

And welcome our sister,

Be seated, be seated.

And hear with me the inspired words of our sister, Felicity.

With faith in the source,

I enter the pit of damnable sin!

from his kingdom cannot hurt me,

because I have the source to lead me!

Praise God! Praise God!

Just a little jealousy.

We spoke briefly, Delia and I.

She's perfect, beautiful and very smart.

Miss Roselli, I want you to do me a favour.

This is Miss Roselli.

Hello. Hi, sweetie.

Miss Roselli.

[LISA] Come on.

No wipes, okay.

Okay.

I'm keeping you close.

What are you doing?

What's this?

That's Alexander's milk.

Don't mothers nurse their babies?

Sometimes.

[DELIA] Don't you wanna nurse Alexander?

Of course.

Excuse me.

Sometimes a mother's milk doesn't have enough nutrients.

Why?

[KAREN GASPING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Careful, Delia, you don't wanna wake him, do you?

Hello, can I speak to Earl Knight, please?

Are you a relative?

[KAREN] Why?

Well, this sort of thing is kind of.

You know, it's kinda tough to.

[KAREN] Yeah, I'm his sister.

Oh!

I'm so sorry.

Your brother died in a freak accident.

What? [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SECRETARY] I couldn't believe it.

We had two strange deaths in one day.

Your brother at the construction site.

And then a preacher woman of snake bites.

Oh, it was a bad day.

Alexander's doing fine, he's with Lisa.

She's a real godsend.

Did you know that Sister Yvonne died?

You're kidding?

No, I'm not kidding.

Snakebite, freak accident.

That's terrible.

Lot of deaths lately.

Real epidemic of strange deaths.

Detective I hired died, freak accident.

Karen, those things happen.

It's called coincidence.

Look, I've been doing some thinking,

and I think it might be a good idea

to get away, do some travelling.

I can't now.

Fine, not now, later.

Go to Europe.

Eventually we could put the kids in international school.

Uh-huh.

Where?

Rome would be nice.

Rome?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Rome?

[GENE] Where are you going?

Huh?

I'm gonna go check on Alexander.

[BELLS TOLLING]

And somewhere, I think it's in Daniel,

it talks about the fourth kingdom.

Hmm, what is there about the fourth kingdom

that frightens you so much?

Here it is.

Thus he spoke, as for the fourth beast,

there shall be a fourth kingdom here on Earth,

and it shall be different from all the kingdoms

and it shall devour the whole Earth.

This fourth kingdom is where the Antichrist comes from.

[PRIEST] Yeah.

Does he have to be born there?

No, not necessarily.

Where is the fourth kingdom?

Rome. Rome.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Rome, he said, Travel to Rome.

So.

So, it could mean educated in Rome.

Yes.

Father, the Antichrist is always spoken of as a he.

Well the Bible didn't mean to be sexist.

Mankind can also mean womankind.

Womankind.

Womankind.

Father, could I be left alone here for a few minutes?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] [DOCTOR SCREAMING]

Oh, my God!

I want answers, it's all here.

You're not mentioned, but the pieces fit all about Delia.

Her father, who is Damien Thorn?

The diary it says she's the Antichrist.

Yes, yes, it's true!

Damien.

He's the whole, Karen.

Damien is the power!

[KAREN] Tell me about Delia.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

She's Damien's daughter.

She carried his seed.

When did you know this?

We've always known.

We've been waiting ever since his death.

What is this fetus papyraceous?

What is it? Fetus papyraceous

it's one twin able to carry the embryo

of its twin inside if it's a female.

Just waiting to be implanted.

Alexander is Delia's twin.

She carried her twin inside her until you removed it.

When?

When I examined her after she fell off the horse.

You implanted it in me

when you examined me after Jo's death.

You made me a surrogate for Delia's brother,

you son of a bitch.

Why Gene, is Gene in on this too?

Gene, no.

But we need him.

He will become a very important political figure.

Of course, of course.

It's all about politics, isn't it?

Forty-two months and it'll all be over.

Wrong, Karen.

It'll just be starting.

Jake Millican is in on this too.

What happened, Lou, did he get greedy,

started thinking in the short term?

No, he's back with the program now.

It's gonna be a new world Karen.
