The Seventh Sign

The fish are dead! The fish are dead!

The truck. Please, Mr. Huberty. Quickly, come on.

What do you know about Baal-Dahar, Mr. Huberty?

Baal-Da-what?

I was in Jerusalem for a symposium. I don't even know what I'm doing in here?

Baal-Dahar's is a village, an Arab village. It's rumored to be a terrorist base.

I should say "was." This morning we found it destroyed.

What does that have to do with me?

It's how it was destroyed. That's where we need your help.

My help? I don't know the first thing about terrorists. I think you’ve made a terrible mistake.

Please, Mr. Hyberty. Come with me.

You don't understand. You picked up the wrong man. I can't possibly help you. I'm a meteorologist!

Yes, yes. 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 and locked the doors. Thirty four children burned to death.

We tracked the terrorists back to here and found this.

It's incredible.

- Can you explain it? - It cannot be explained.

- I have clearance. - You damn well better.

The Vatican.

I’m sorry...

...Father Lucci.

Can you explain it?

If I would given the proper equipment, I think...

I don't think so.

They’ll never explain it.

It’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, I would Colonel except this kind of thing has happened here once before.

What are you saying. Baal-Dahar has stood here for 3,000 years.

Yes, Baal-Dahar but you see,Colonel. The village was built on the ruins of an older place.

A much older place.

And it too was destroyed. But you don't want that to explain what happened to it now.

Why is that?

Because that place that was destroyed was called Sodom.

Destroyed by the wrath of God.

How’s he doing?

Well. Can all I have to tell you, he’s still a boy.

- Is he kicking a lot? - He’s been really active. Moving all over the place.

That’s great. We're getting some good soccer in our last trimester.

Thanks. I can’t wait. Two months to go.

I want to see you next week.

I’m not completely happy with his growth.

And your amniotic fluid is a little less than normal.

But you said baby is doing fine.

He is. There’s absolutely nothing to be alarmed about.

But Abby. I can’t say definitely that we not gonna run into the same problem again.

I know this time its gonna be okay. I’ve been eating really well and resting.

That’s good. That's good. Alright. So I’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.

- The 29th? - It's a 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.

What. It's $650, utilities included.

It's a garage apartment.

No, we havn't had any problems with the fumes. We park our car outside.

It's partially furnished. It's got a 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? - I couldn't believe it.

- I 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. And he was.

I mean. I’ve told you that. I thought I proved it.

Shit. What are you gonna 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.

Deposit? It only puts us on the waiting list for four years.

Why are you doing this?

Honey. I just want to be prepared.

I want you to be realistic.

- I am realistic. - We don't know for sure whether the baby...

I saw Dr. Inness today. She said I’m doing perfect. No problems.

Really?

This baby is gonna 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.

It's all right.

It was just a dream.

Russell Quinn?

Penny Washburn. Sorry I’m late.

That’s alright. 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.

- Listen Jimmy. - Can we talk a minute? - Yes.

Penny’s going to help me prepare a new appeal...

...but we gonna need your help.

I told you, I do not go to hospital.

Jimmy. I can’t help you unless you let me.

Just talk to her, tell her what happened, that’s all.

No hospital.

Listen Jimmy, this is important.

If you go to the hospital, the doctors may find you incompetent.

Then I can get the court to reconsider your case. Otherwise, we don't have anything.

I know what is right and I know what is wrong.

I did nothing wrong.

Jimmy. You admitted killing your parents.

It was not wrong. It was the law of God.

Leviticus.

Isn’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's gonna save your life, say you're wrong! What is it gonna matter?

It matters to God!

No hospital.

Goodbye, Penny.

Jimmy, think about it. Please.

- Hello. - Hi.

My name is David.

David Bannen.

I’m here about the apartment.

Oh... Please, come in.

Ace, get down! He usually doesn’t do this. Go on, get down.

It's okay. Hi, Ace.

Get down!

I’m really surprised. He never do this. I’ll go get the keys.

Would you like a towel? Please.You’re soaked.

It's terrible out there, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

If I can just find these keys.

Where are you from?

All over. I’ve moved around a lot.

- Because of work? - Yes.

What do you do?

I’m a teacher. Ancient languages.

Over at the university?

I’ve been travelling for some time.

I’ve really just come back to town.

May I have a glass water?

Sure. Let me get you a glass.

- Use the bottled water, its better. - Thanks.

Your baby is due in February.

The 29th.

How did you know?

I saw your calendar.

It'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.

It's a bit small.

I don't need much room.

I like it.

- If that’s all right. - That's great!

I'd like to talk with my husband, but I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Why won't you give me a call me tomorrow and I’ll let you know.
