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

Annie, are you okay? I'm here, baby.

I'm here.

It isn't over.

But now they know how to fight you.

I'm here, Andy. Okay, Clara, call the
doctor. Rick, just hold her head, okay?

Don't let her push till it's done.
