6 scenes
Father Brennan

You must accept Christ as your saviour. You must accept him now.

Robert Thorn

Forgive me, Father, but I understand that you have a matter of some urgent personal business?

Father Brennan

You must take communion. Drink the blood of Christ and eat his flesh. Only if he is within you can you defeat the son of the devil.

Robert Thorn

I see.

Father Brennan

He's killed once, he'll kill again. He'll kill until everything that's yours is his.
...

Father Brennan

I was at the hospital, Mr. Thorn, the night your son was born. I witnessed the birth. I beg you.

Robert Thorn
[into the intercom]

All right. Stand by. [to Father Brennan] What do you want?

Father Brennan

To save you, Mr. Thorn. So Christ will forgive me.

Robert Thorn

What do you know about my son?

Father Brennan

Everything.

Robert Thorn

And what is that?

Father Brennan

I saw its mother.

Robert Thorn

You saw my wife.

Father Brennan

I saw its mother.

Robert Thorn

You're referring to my wife!

Father Brennan

Its mother, Mr. Thorn.

Robert Thorn

If this is blackmail, then come out and say it! What are you trying to say?

Father Brennan

His mother was a ja- [security guards burst into the office]

Mrs. Baylock

I know this is a difficult time for you, so I'll not intrude on your grief. I'm here to take away some of your troubles and anxieties. We'll soon help your little boy to forget what's happened. I'm afraid, sir, that some of our young nannies, they get homesick, or they have boyfriend problems. I left all that behind a long time ago. Well, now, if you'll let me see your boy?

Well, yes, of course. He's upstairs. I'll show you where it is.

Mrs. Baylock

Why don't you just leave us alone at first? Let us get acquainted in our own way.

Well, he's shy with new people.

Mrs. Baylock

Oh, no. Not with me, he won't be.
...

I like her.

Robert Thorn

She seems alright.

Where'd you find her?

Robert Thorn

Where did I find her?

Robert Thorn

I didn't find her. I assumed you found her.

Robert Thorn

Are you sure that you don't wanna call a doctor?

No. It's just a couple of bruises. It'll be all right in the morning.

Robert Thorn

No, I mean... for Damien.

Oh, no, he's fine. He's... he's sound asleep.

Robert Thorn

Just... just to have him examine him.

Well, he's perfectly all right. Never been sick a day in his life.

Robert Thorn

He never has, has he? Isn't that a little strange?

Robert Thorn

I mean, no measles or mumps or chickenpox. Not even a cough or a cold.

Robert Thorn

I just think it's a little unusual.

Look, he's a perfectly healthy boy. I mean, we have nothing to worry about with him. Not physically or... or otherwise. He just... had a bad moment. You know, like a fright.

Robert Thorn

If there were anything wrong, you'd... tell me, wouldn't you?

Wrong? What could be wrong with our child, Robert? We're beautiful people, aren't we?

Robert Thorn

There is something wrong, isn't there? [she hugs him] Kathy. Is it so serious?

Robert, I... I want... I need to see a psychiatrist. I... I have... fears. I have such fears.

Robert Thorn

What kind of fears? What kind?

If I told you, you'd put me away.

Robert Thorn

Get on with it. Say what you have to say.

Father Brennan

"When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet rips the sky, and 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." The Book of Revelation predicted it all.

Robert Thorn

I'm not here to listen to a sermon.

Father Brennan

It is by means of a human personality entirely in his possession that Satan will wage his last formidable offence.

Robert Thorn

You said that my wife was--

Father Brennan

Go to the city of Megiddo... in the old city of Jezreel. There see the old man Bugenhagen. He alone can describe how the child must die.

Robert Thorn

Look here--

Father Brennan

He who will not be saved by the lamb will be torn by the beast!

Robert Thorn

Will you stop? I'm here because you said my wife is in danger.

Father Brennan

She is pregnant.

Robert Thorn

You're mistaken. That's nonsense.

Father Brennan

He'll not allow the child to be born. He will kill it while it slumbers in the womb.

Robert Thorn

What in God's name are you talking about?

Father Brennan

Your son, Mr. Thorn. The Son of the Devil. He will kill the unborn child. Then he will kill your wife. And then, when he is certain to inherit all that is yours, then, Mr. Thorn... he will kill you.

Robert Thorn

That's enough.

Father Brennan

And with your wealth and power he will establish his counterfeit kingdom here on Earth, receiving his power directly from Satan!

Robert Thorn

You're insane.

Father Brennan

He must die Mr. Thorn!

Robert Thorn

You asked for five minutes... and you've got five minutes.

Father Brennan

Go to the city of Megiddo. See Bugenhagen before it's too late.
Robert Thorn. Now I've heard you. I want you to hear me. I never want to see you again.

Father Brennan

You'll see me in Hell, Mr. Thorn. There we will share out our sentence.

Keith Jennings

Look, I want to know what he said. I have a right to know. Robert, I want to know what he said! Look, I'm not just some bystander. I was the one who found him!

Robert Thorn

I'm the one who's supposed to kill him. These are knives. He wants me to stab him! He wants me to murder a child.

Keith Jennings

It's not a child!

Robert Thorn

He doesn't know that! Maybe he's wrong. He's not responsible. I won't do it! [Throws the knives into an alley]

Keith Jennings
[Looks at Robert, then walks away]

Then if you won't do it, I will.
