"Baal-Dahar`s an Arab village." "lt`s rumoured to be a terrorist base." "I should say "was." This morning we found it destroyed." "What does that have to do with me?" "lt`s how it was destroyed." "That`s where we need your help." "My help?" "I know nothing about terrorists." "I think you`ve made a terrible mistake." "Please, come with me." "You don`t understand. l`m the wrong man." "I can`t help you. l`m a meteorologist!" "We know." "That`s why we brought you here." "You see that was Baal-Dahar." "Yesterday, a kibbutz nearby was attacked." "They threw a petrol bomb into the school." "Thirty-four children burned to death." "We tracked the terrorists back to here and found this." "lt`s incredible." "Can you explain it?" "lt cannot be explained." "l have clearance." "You damn well better." "The Vatican." "l`m sorry Father Lucci." "Can you explain it?" "With the proper equipment, I think-- l don`t think so." "They`ll never explain it." "lt`ll melt in a day or a week and they`ll forget it." "They`ll call it a freak, an aberration." "You don`t think it is." "I would, Colonel, except this kind of thing happened here once before." "Baal-Dahar has been here for 3,000 years." "But you see, Baal-Dahar was built on the ruins of an older place." "A much older place." "And it too was destroyed." "But you wouldn`t want that to explain this." "Why is that?" "Because that place that was destroyed was called Sodom." "Destroyed by the wrath of God." "How`s he doing?" "I have to tell you, he`s still a boy." "ls he kicking a lot?" "He`s very active." "Moves all over the place." "That`s great." "We`re getting some good soccer in our last trimester." "I can`t wait." "Two months to go." "I want to see you next week." "l`m not completely happy with his growth." "And your amniotic fluid is a little less than normal." "But you said he`s doing fine." "He is." "There`s nothing to be alarmed about." "But I can`t say definitely that we won`t run into the same problem again." "I know this time it`ll be okay." "l`ve been eating really well and resting." "That`s good." "So l`ll see you both next week." ""...have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord" ""He has trampled out the vintage Where the grapes of wrath are stored" ""He has loosed his fateful lightning Of his terrible swift sword" ""His truth is marching on"" "They`re so adorable." "Would you like to see the computer room now?" "At the Oaks we start them early." "So your husband is a lawyer and you restore fine arts for the Hirshenson Collection." "And the baby`s due...?" "February 29th." "lt`s leap year." "Of course." "I notice you didn`t write anything under "Religious Denomination."" "Do you mind if I ask why?" "Because I don`t have any." "is that a problem?" "No, no. I just don`t like blanks." "Hi, baby dog." "Ace, be careful." "Good boy." "Hello?" "Well, let`s see." "lt`s $650, utilities included." "lt`s a garage apartment." "No, no problems with the fumes." "We park our car outside." "lt`s partially furnished." "There`s a bed and a table right now, but that`s about it." "I see." "Well, okay." "Sorry." "Hi, sweetness." "Tragedy continues to strike around the globe as the changing weather patterns continue." "Hi, honey." "Hi." "That`s nice." "Thanks." "How did it go today?" "The State Supreme Court denied my appeal." "Are you kidding?" "l couldn`t believe it." "l thought you had such a strong appeal." "So did I." "So did I." "The whole petition was based on the fact that Jimmy`s trial lawyer was incompetent." "l`ve told you that. I thought I proved it." "Shit." "What are you going to do?" "Appeal again." "Fight it." "Anyway, how`s our bouncing baby boy?" "Good." "We had a good day." "Good." "I know we talked about it and decided not to but I went to the Oaks today and put down a deposit." "It only puts us on the waiting list for four years." "Why are you doing this?" "I just want to be prepared." "I want you to be realistic." "l am realistic." "We don`t know for sure if the baby-- l saw Dr. lnness today." "She said l`m doing perfect." "No problems." "Really?" "This baby is going to be fine." "It has to be." "It has to be?" "What if it isn`t?" "Then what?" "I just don`t want to lose you, that`s all." "Okay?" "Okay." "Will you die for Him?" "Will you die for Him?" "What is it?" "What`s the matter?" "I was in these rooms." "Oh, God, I could feel it coming." "Death." "It was just a dream, Abby." "It was just a dream." "lt`s all right." "It was just a dream." "Russell Quinn?" "Penny Washburn." "Sorry l`m late." "I understand you`re quite an expert on death sentence appeals." "So they say." "What do you know about this case?" "So far, not much." "The kid murdered his parents?" "He poured gasoline on them and set them on fire while they were sleeping." "I take it this is not someone with a lot of remorse." "His parents were brother and sister." ""Executed for the word of God" is what he said in his signed confession." "Jimmy...." "How`s it going?" "Hello, Russell." "This is Penny Washburn." "She`s going to help us with your case." "Hello, Penny." "Hello." "Can we talk a minute?" "Yes." "Penny`s going to help me prepare a new appeal but we`ll need your help." "I told you, I do not go to hospital." "I can`t help you unless you let me." "Just talk to her, tell her what happened, that`s all." "No hospital." "Jimmy, this is important." "If you go to the hospital, the doctors may find you incompetent." "Then the court will reconsider your case." "Otherwise, we don`t have anything." "I know what is right and I know what is wrong." "I did nothing wrong." "You admitted killing your parents." "It was not wrong. lt was the law of God." "Leviticus." "lsn`t murder a crime too, in the eyes of God?" "It is not murder to punish the guilty." "Incest may be against the law of God but it`s the law of California that we`re dealing with." "They`ve sentenced you to the gas chamber!" "Do you want to die?" "No." "Then go to the hospital and let the doctors see if you knew what you were doing." "That says I did a crime!" "That it was wrong!" "If it`ll save your life, say you`re wrong!" "What is it going to matter?" "It matters to God!" "No hospital." "Goodbye, Penny." "Jimmy, think about it." "Please." "Hello." "Hi." "My name is David." "David Bannen." "l`m here about the apartment." "Please, come in." "Ace, get down!" "He usually doesn`t do this." "Go on, get down." "lt`s okay." "Hi, Ace." "Get down!" "l`m surprised." "He never does this." "l`ll go get the keys." "Would you like a towel?" "You`re soaked." "lt`s terrible out there, isn`t it?" "Yes, it is." "If I can just find these keys." "Where are you from?" "All over. l`ve moved around a lot." "Because of work?" "Yes." "What do you do?" "l`m a teacher." "Ancient languages." "Over at the university?" "l`ve been travelling for some time." "l`ve really just come back to town." "May I have some water?" "Sure." "Let me get you a glass." "Use the bottled water, it`s better." "Thanks." "Your baby is due in February." "The 29th." "How did you know?" "I saw your calendar." "lt`s kind of nice." "There isn`t a 29th except leap year." "Makes it special somehow." "It is a special day." "I am getting so absent-minded." "I hope you`re not expecting something fancy." "This is it." "lt`s a bit small." "I don`t need much room." "l`d like it." "lf that`s all right." "That`s great!" "l`ll discuss it with my husband, but l`m sure it won`t be a problem." "Call me tomorrow and l`ll let you know." "Fine." "We`ll talk then." "I do hope this will work out." "I hope so, too." "l`m back." "That didn`t take very long." "He didn`t need much help." "About all he had was a suitcase." "But he did have first and last month`s rent in cash." "Did you ask him to dinner?" "I did." "He said, "No, thanks." Of course, he didn`t use so many words." "The guy is out there." "He`s a little bit different." "I don`t know, I think he`s just quiet." "He`s quiet all right." "He doesn`t have a stereo or a television." "He doesn`t even want a telephone." "Really?" "That`s weird." "What`s weird is that he has a short-wave radio." "You think he`s a spy?" "The spearhead of an invasion force that will take over and bore us to death!" "You`re such a nut." "Toss that up." "Where are you going?" "l`m sure you did a great job inviting him." "Looks tossed to me." "Jesus, you scared me to death." "You snuck up on me!" "I was trying not to scare you." "What are you doing?" "Look at this. lsn`t this wild?" "Yeah, it is strange." "David`s in the house." "He changed his mind about dinner." "Maybe he`d change it again if he saw you snooping." "l`m not snooping." "l`m looking." "So after all that, the senator wouldn`t even see me." "This poor kid will die in the gas chamber and I get this aide who tells me he doesn`t think their involvement is appropriate." "Why?" "Because he`s a politician." "He won`t get involved in anything that could come back and bite his fat ass." "lt`s typical." "lt`s typical bullshit." "What would you do?" "Me?" "What do you mean?" "Would you stop it?" "Of course I would, but I have no control." "I can`t do anything." "Maybe you can." "She can`t do anything, David." "That`s what l`m saying, nobody listens anymore. l`m the kid`s attorney and they won`t listen to me." "So they won`t listen to Abby." "Maybe you are right." "lt`s not up to us." "How about dessert?" "Please." "Jesus Christ!" "Look at this!" "Get a broom." "Please don`t!" "I wasn`t going to hurt it." "l`m sorry." "That was weird." "Do you know there`s a story about a new-born child and the sparrow`s song." "lt`s ancient." "Hebrew." "They believed that in Heaven God`s mansion has many halls." "And that one of these halls is the Hall of Souls." "lt`s called The Guf." ""The Guf"?" "They say whenever a baby is born this is where its soul comes from." "As the soul descends from heaven only the sparrows can see it." "So they sing." "So whenever you hear a sparrow sing, you know a baby`s about to be born?" "The Guf. I like it." "l`ll get the dessert." "Would you like some coffee?" "Yes, please." "Wasn`t that the sweetest story?" "It sounded like a bunch of guff to me." ""The second angel poured his bowl into the sea." ""And it became as the blood of a dead man..." ""...and every living thing..." ""...died that was in the sea."" "The prophecies they have begun." "The Guf." "Do you like that?" "I do. lt reminds me of a story I heard." "lt`s Italian." "Really good quality." "I don`t know. l`ve spent so much money already." "But it`s so cute." "Yeah, why not?" "You only live once, right?" "Will this be on your card?" "Mrs. Quinn, are you okay?" "Yeah, l`m fine." "Shit." "Excuse me, lady." "What are you doing here?" "l`m looking for someone." "There`s no one here but the minyan." "I followed him in, he`s wearing a grey coat." "No one came in." "But I followed him in." "l`ve been here ten minutes." "No one has come in." "You okay?" "Are you okay, lady?" "Yes, l`m fine." "You better leave now." "We don`t want to disturb kaddish." "Kaddish." "The prayer for the dead." "You`re going to be fine." "This won`t hurt." "You`ll just feel some pressure." "Don`t hurt my baby." "Keep breathing." "Take a deep breath." "Just take a deep breath." "There you go." "We`re almost through." "You`re doing just fine." "Just hold still." "Breathe." "Take a deep breath." "Breathe." "Nice and easy." "Nice and easy." "You`re doing a good job." "lt`s going to come out now." "Good job, good job." "Why does this keep happening to her?" "lt`s too early for Caesarean." "Right." "The baby`s lungs aren`t fully matured yet." "But the immediate threat is over." "Right now we have to keep her from going into labour for at least two weeks." "l`ve started her on ritodrine again." "Can she go home?" "No. I want to keep her here for 48 hours." "She needs to rest as much as possible both mentally and physically." "Can I see her?" "Sure." "There she is." "How are you feeling?" "lt`s not like the last time." "Don`t even think about that." "Just rest." "I know that feeling. lt`s different this time." "Something else is causing it." "The pain isn`t even the same." "lt`s not coming from the inside." "Margaret said you can come home in a couple of days." "Then a couple days in bed, you`ll be as good as new." "Why won`t she believe me?" "Can`t she find out what`s really going on?" "She`s trying, Abby." "I know something`s happening." "lt`s different this time." "I know it is."

"Excuse me." "l`m sorry about the baby." "After all your travels, Father Lucci..." "...you`ve reached these conclusions?" "l have, Your Eminence." "You have no doubt, no doubt whatsoever, regarding the signs?" "No doubt at all." "They were not signs." "Not to try your patience, Father, but once again:" "The snow in the Negev."

"It created a storm of such intensity, it sucked the freezing rain from the sky." "It turned everything in its path to ice." "A rare occurrence." "It happens once in 100 years." "But a sign from God?" "Everything you saw was either scientifically explainable or a hoax?" "Yes, Your Eminence." "My brothers, all these things I saw were of the natural world." "There have been no miracles." "These were not signs of the Apocalypse." "I will tell His Holiness." "He will be quite relieved." "He has tickets next week to Faust." ""2-29." That`s the baby`s birthdate." "I can`t understand any of this." "What about the baby`s birthdate on it?" "We don`t have a corner on February 29th." "You don`t know that`s what that means." "Have you ever seen strange writing like this?" "And what about those horrible clippings?" "Russell, he`s here because of the baby!" "You think David is responsible for what`s wrong with the baby?" "What`s wrong with the baby is called placental insufficiency!" "You`re wrong!" "I told you, it`s different!" "It isn`t!" "Nobody is trying to hurt the baby." "lt`s just like last time."

"In the Middle Ages, scholars used it to protect their writings." "You know it?" "I hope so. I learned it from him when I was nine." "Then you can translate it?" "I guess so. lt`s just a simple replacement alphabet." "Come on." "There`s a book l`ll need." "Here it is." "So, what is this?" "How does this date translate?" "That`s not a date." "Of course it is. 2-29." "February 29th." "Have you ever read the Bible?" "Well, yeah." "Well, 2:29, it`s a Bible heading." "Chapter and verse." "Chapter 2, verse 29." "Are you sure?"
