What happens

Omen IV: The Awakening is a 1991 American supernatural horror television film directed by Jorge Montesi and Dominique Othenin-Girard and written by Brian Taggert, from a story by producer Harvey Bernhard and Taggert. The film is the fourth installment in The Omen franchise and stars Faye Grant, Michael Woods, Michael Lerner, and Asia Vieira. Its plot follows two attorneys who adopt a young girl, unaware of the fact that she is to possibly succeed Damien Thorn as the Antichrist. The film was intended to be the first of many television sequels to 20th Century Fox's film history of popular titles. Bernhard, who also produced the previous three Omen films, felt there could be more done to the series. This was the last film he produced. He previously wrote the story for the second film. Omen IV: The Awakening premiered on television in North America on the Fox network, on May 20, 1991. The film was given a theatrical release in some countries, such as Australia, where it premiered on August 9, and in the United Kingdom, where it opened on November 29 of the same year. It was largely panned by critics upon release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
