American diplomat Robert Thorn and his wife Katherine are living in Rome, where Katherine gives birth to a boy.

He later tells Robert that Damien is the son of Satan, that Katherine is pregnant, and that Damien will kill his unborn sibling and parents.

Photographer Keith Jennings notices shadows in photographs of the nanny and Father Brennan that presage their deaths then sees a similar mark across himself in a later photo.
