Hello, Mr. Jenk?

LEONARD

Yes, I'm Mr. Jenk. Who is this?

ANNIE (VO)

Sir, my name is Annie. I live across the street from you. I'm calling because I have your little girl here with me, and she is just fine.

LEONARD

I have been so worried. Thank you so much for taking care of her.

ANNIE (VO)

You're welcome. She is no problem.

LEONARD

How did Ally come by you?

ANNIE (VO)

She came to my house with a note in her hand, and asked me to read it to her. I read the note, then told her, you should read it to her. I gave her some cookies and milk. I left a note on your door so you could come and get her, but instead of you, two police officers wanted to take her to the Care Center.

(8)

LEONARD

How come they didn't take her?

ANNIE (VO)

I told them she was with me. Anyway, if you would like me to take care of Ally until you can decide what to do, I would be happy to do so.

LEONARD

I'd be ever so grateful if you would. Have you told Ally about her mother?

ANNIE (VO)

No sir, I believe you should tell her.

Ever since the hooded figure arrived this morning, Jerusalem has been flooded with people. Airports all over the world are overcrowded. The

Israeli government has closed off it's borders.

The courtyard is full. The soldiers have allowed only so many people in, so as to maintain a certain amount of movable space.

There are two old men sitting on the steps of the Temple.

We are all waiting anxiously for the hooded figure to come out and speak. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

TEMPLE STEPS

The two old men walk to the platform. They speak in unison.

I'm sorry for all the interruptions. What is going on with you?

JULIE

I have been trying all day to go to Jerusalem. I believe Christ has come, and I guess millions of others believe it too. All the airlines have temporarily shut down. They can't even say when they will take any reservations in the future. It's just as well, you didn't want to go.

ANNIE

It's not that I didn't want to go, but an inner voice keeps telling me, 'that if anyone says here is Christ, or there is Christ, believe it not' and so I wasn't sure. But, let's change the subject. I know what will take your mind off of all of this. I'm taking Ally to see her father at the County Hospital tomorrow. Why don't you meet us in the hospital coffee shop at noon. We'll all have lunch, then go shopping.

(14)

JULIE

That's a great idea! Thanks Annie. I'm going home now. It's been a hectic day. I'll see you tomorrow.

Leonard finishes eating, lays back against his pillow, and begins to pray. He is interrupted by Doctor Raymond.

DOCTOR

Do you remember me?

(18)

LEONARD

Yes. Do you know what is wrong with my legs?

DOCTOR

Well, all the tests are negative. Aside from your superficial wounds, we can find nothing physically wrong with you. We believe it is psychosomatic, due to the trauma you experienced in the accident. You will need some therapy and psychological counseling. I will have a therapist come up and see you today, and get those legs moving. I'll arrange for a psychiatrist to visit you on Monday.

LEONARD

A psychiatrist!

DOCTOR

Yes, he will help you reason everything out, and come to grips with it, if necessary.

LEONARD

What ever you say, doctor.

INT. ANNIE'S HOUSE KITCHEN MORNING SATURDAY U.S. Annie calls Mr. Jenk.

LEONARD (VO)

Hello?

ANNIE

Hello, this is Annie. I was wondering if you were up to having company this morning?

LEONARD (VO)

I sure am! I've had a good nights sleep and I was even able to do without a pain shot this morning.

ANNIE

I'm glad to hear you're doing so well.

LEONARD (VO)

Yes, God has blessed me.

ANNIE

Ally is all excited about coming to see you.

LEONARD (VO)

I hope she hasn't been a burden to you.

(19)

ANNIE

Oh no, she is such a joy to be with.

LEONARD (VO)

Well, thank you. We are proud of her.

ANNIE

I can understand why. I'd better go now, and get ready. We will see you in about an hour.

Thank you ma'am.

ANNIE

Just call me Annie. Everyone else does.

INT. COUNTY HOSPITAL ROOM 202 MORNING SATURDAY U.S.

A man wearing a hospital jacket enters Leonard's room.

PAUL

Hi, I'm Paul. I'm your therapist. I will be doing different things to your legs. Pushing, pulling, and bending. You will be having these sessions twice a day. Each session will be fifteen or twenty minute.

LEONARD

Very well. My name is Leonard.

As the therapist worked on Leonard's legs they talked.

PAUL

I bet you didn't know you are the talk of the hospital?

LEONARD

No, I didn't.

PAUL

Somebody upstairs is surely looking out for you.

Leonard

Yes, God has blessed me.

PAUL

Speaking of someone upstairs, what do you think about Christ coming yesterday?

LEONARD

That wasn't Christ. That was Satan.

(20)

PAUL

There are a lot of people out there worshipping him as God. What makes you think that it was Satan and not Christ?

LEONARD

Because, the Bible has recorded a step by step account of the coming of Christ. Just because people worship him, does not make him Christ.

PAUL

Do you believe the Bible to be true?

LEONARD

Yes, it is the only source of truth available. I'd show you if I had my Bible.

PAUL

I go home for lunch. I'll bring you a Bible, then you can show me. Oh, before I go, would you like to sit up in a chair for a while?

LEONARD

Yes, my daughter and a friend are coming to visit. I'd rather be in a chair,then in bed.

Inside the temple the hooded figure sits on the throne of God speaking to his most loyal follower, Captain Nomed.

HOODED FIGURE

When we were in heaven, Michael the arch-angel, and I, were to protect the throne of God. All the hosts of heaven began to believe that I was God, for I had such beauty as no other had. I was envied by all the hosts. Why shouldn't I be God? Look at me now. I sit in the throne of God in the Temple of God, as God.

(21)

CAPTAIN NOMED

Yes, my Lord. It was brilliant of you to manifest yourself as an angel of light, and descend out of heaven on a cloud, and deceive the people of the world. They sit outside and wait for you to speak to them. Even the name you have chosen has deception in it.

HOODED FIGURE

Yes, I agree. Natas Reficul. This physical body is a bit more restrictive than I would like, but I will get used to being a man. Now Captain, are our people in place? Are we ready to take over?

LEONARD

Come in.

LEONARD

Please, pull up a chair. We can visit while Ally takes her nap.

Annie pulls a chair over by Leonard.

LEONARD

I explained to Ally that her mother had made a mistake, and believed that Jesus had come to take her and the church members up to heaven. She left us behind, because we are not members of her church, and when she realizes that it was not Jesus, she would come home.

ANNIE

Do you think she understood?

LEONARD

Yes, some of it. She said, oh boy, mommy's coming home! Then I started reading her a story.

(24)

ANNIE

Leonard, just what was the broadcast all about yesterday in Jerusalem? It said, that Christ had come. I admit, I know nothing about the coming of Christ, but I hear this inner voice telling me not to believe it.

LEONARD

Oh, and what do you hear?

ANNIE

The voice says, THEN IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE, BELIEVE IT NOT. I thought there was something wrong with me, because I had no desire to go to Jerusalem, like everyone else.

LEONARD (smiles)

I believe that inner voice you are hearing is the voice of God warning you not to be deceived.

ANNIE

What makes you think that?

LEONARD

Here, I'll show you.

Leonard opens the Bible to Matthew 24:23 and hands Annie the Bible.

LEONARD

Read this scripture, you'll see what I mean.

ANNIE

THEN IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE, BELIEVE IT NOT. Oh my, the very same words. I don't understand. Does the Bible have all the answers to what happened yesterday, and what is yet to take place?

LEONARD

Yes, but I can't show you and explain it all right now. I'd be happy to make you a list of scriptures to read about the coming of Christ. That will help you understand better. I personally believe that God is calling you.

ANNIE

I'm not sure about the calling thing, but the scriptures would help me understand better.

LEONARD

Give me your phone number, and when I finish I'll call you.

(25)

Annie gives Leonard a business card. She notices that Ally is waking up.

ANNIE

Looks like Ally is waking up. I'll go to the coffee shop, and be back shortly.

Ally sits up, rubs her eyes, looks around, then gets off the bed.

ALLY

Where is Annie? She didn't go without me, did she?

LEONARD

No honey, she went to the coffee shop. She'll be back shortly. You have found a nice friend.

ALLY

Yes, I really like her. When are you coming home?

LEONARD

The doctor said, I would be here for a couple of days, so it won't be too long.

Annie returns to Leonard's room. Knocks. Ally runs to the door, opens it, and takes Annie's hand.

ALLY

I'm hungry.

ANNIE (smiles)

Me too. I so hungry I could eat a horse.

ALLY (big smile)

Me too. Can I have a hamburger?

Welcome to the Global village. I have control of all governments of the world. I will need your full cooperation in order to keep the world running smoothly. If any of you have a problem with that, now is the time say so.

No one speaks. They all sit quietly.

NOGARD

Good. You will be home-based here in the Palace. You will have a suite of offices for you and your staff. I want everything running like clock work by the end of the month.There will be immediate changes in the income system. There will be four brackets of income. The first bracket will be $250,00.00. This will be for self employed professionals, such as Doctors, Lawyers, Entertainers, etc. The second bracket will be $150,000.00. This will be for Supervisory personnel in all fields. The third bracket will be $100,00.00. This would include workers in all fields. The fourth bracket will be $75,000.00. This would include all retired and disabled persons. There will be no unemployment! All citizens must fall into one of these brackets.I want all countries to cancel whatever tax policy they have and replace it with a 25% flat tax, that will come from the first three income brackets. The tax will be collected every month, starting next month, and be sent to The Global Village Bank, here in Jerusalem.In a couple of days I will appoint a Director of Economy. He will establish a One World Currency. Each of you will receive a copy of the new policies. Are there any questions? (The ten leaders remained silent).Well, if you have any questions between now and our next meeting, present them at that time, and we will discuss them.

It is good to have you with us. I want you to set up a one world currency system. I want you to use the American dollar system and make the following changes. I want my picture on all bills. Replace the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" with "THE GLOBAL VILLAGE." Are there any questions?

TNEPRES

No sir, I will take care of it immediately.

NATAS

Very good. That will be all.

The two men leave the office and go their separate ways.

INT. COUNTY HOSPITAL ROOM 202 EVENING SATURDAY U.S.

Leonard prepares a list of scriptures for Annie. He had just finished when there came a knock on the door.

LEONARD

Come in.

PAUL

Hi, Leonard. I brought you my Bible, but I see you already have one.

LEONARD

Yes, my daughter and friend came to visit, and she brought mine from home. I have just prepared a list of scriptures for my friend that will show her that it was Satan that came yesterday, and not Christ. Would you like me to make you a list also?

PAUL

I'll just make copies. I have some friends that would love to have a list like this.

LEONARD

Good, make as many copies as you like.

Paul reached down and picked Leonard up out of the chair, and placed him on the bed. As he exercised Leonard's legs, they talked.

PAUL

There are fifteen of us that meet three times a week for Bible study. We could use someone to help us who is more knowledgeable.

Paul finishes the session. Takes the list and makes copies. Leonard lay in his bed resting. Paul returns with list, thanks Leonard and leaves. Leonard decided to try to stand. He lowered his legs over the side of the bed until his feet touched the floor. He carefully pulled himself up off the bed, holding on to the bed rail. He stood for a few seconds, then had to sit down. He repeated this several times, until he was exhausted. He laid back in the bed and fell asleep. In a matter of seconds, a figure engulfed in a bright light stood at the foot of Leonard's bed. The figure spoke very softly ,"FEED MY SHEEP," then turned and walked through the closed door. Leonard jumped up out of bed, and walked quickly across the room, opened the door and looked both ways in the hall. There was no one there. He turned to go back to bed, when he realized what he had just done. He continued back to bed, laid down. Then a knock on the door.

(31)

LEONARD

Come in.

PAUL

I'm sorry to bother you, Leonard. but I wanted to ask you something before I went home. I.

LEONARD (interrupts)

Did you come into my room a couple of minutes ago?

PAUL

No, I just now came to ask you if you would speak at our group meeting when you get better? I think you have more insight than me.

LEONARD

I don't know about that. I can show you what God has shown me. I would be glad to speak at your meeting. Give me your number and I will call when I get out of here.

Paul gave Leonard his card with his phone number and address on it, thanked Leonard, then left. The evening dinner tray arrived. It was placed on his bed table. Leonard eats his dinner. After dinner, he goes to the bathroom and washes up. On the way back to bed, the door opens and in comes Dr. Raymond.

DOCTOR

Well, looks like you don't need me anymore. When did this all happen?

LEONARD

About an hour ago, I had this strange dream and the next thing I knew, I was walking.

DOCTOR

Must have been some dream. Climb up on the bed, I want to check you over.

The doctor ran a sharp tool up and down Leonard's legs, and the bottom of his feet.

DOCTOR

Did you feel anything?

LEONARD

Yes, something sharp.

DOCTOR

Good, I'm sure you're going to be just fine.

(32)

LEONARD

When can I go home?

DOCTOR

You can go home tomorrow. I'll have your discharge papers ready in the morning.

LEONARD

Thank you.

Dr. Raymond shakes Leonard's hand, and leaves. Leonard calls Annie.

ANNIE (VO)

Hello?

LEONARD

Hi, Annie. This is Leonard. I have some good news. I'll be coming home in the morning.

ANNIE (VO)

That's wonderful news!

LEONARD

Yes, it is. Annie, could I impose on you to bring me some clothes. Mine were ruined in the accident.

ANNIE (VO)

Of course. When would you like me to bring them?

LEONARD

Would eight o'clock be too early?

ANNIE (VO)

Eight o'clock will be just fine.

LEONARD

Thank you Annie, I'll see you in the morning. Bye.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM EVENING FRIDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good evening, this is Elbib Ehtdrow reporting from the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem. This is The Global City News.

This morning two old men that claim to be witnesses sent by God, had fire come down from the sky, and literally burn up ten soldiers. It only took seconds to reduce them to ten small piles of ashes. It is the most incredible thing I ever saw.

Later this morning, after the two witnesses left the courtyard, the hooded figure left the Temple with a police escort and went to the Presidential Palace, where he called a meeting with the ten world leaders and the new Director of Government. His name is Mr. Nogard.

(33)

Reports tell me that there will be a change in our wage structure. It will be replaced by a four bracket system. There will also be a 25% flat tax to replace all current tax systems.

A Mr. Tnepres, was appointed the new Director of Economy. He has devised a one world currency that should come into effect in about a week.

The Supreme President will hold a news release this evening. He will speak about the accusations made by the two witnesses. The news release will be at eight o'clock tonight.

The Global Village military Forces have been heavily enforced at all airports, because of the unusual number of people there. The airlines are getting the people boarded on planes, and heading them back to their homelands. They are hopeful that by late morning, the airports will be back to normal. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

EXT. STREETS OF JERUSALEM EVENING FRIDAY ISRAEL

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: AND I SAW IN THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE THRONE, A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN AND ON THE BACKSIDE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS. BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE: AND HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A BOW. AND A CROWN WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM: AND HE WENT FORTH CONQUERING, AND TO CONQUER. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Beware, the first seal of the seven sealed book is opened. The white horse is, the white clouds that you saw descending on the Temple. The one that sat on the white horse is, the hooded figure that came on the clouds. The bow in his hand is the power to make war. The crown that was given to him, is the title of Supreme President that the ten world leaders gave him. Beware, ye children of Jerusalem, there cometh three more horsemen.

INT. ANNIE HOUSE KITCHEN EVENING SATURDAY U.S.

LIVING ROOM

ANNIE

I have some really good news for you Ally. Your daddy is coming home in the morning.

ALLY

JULIE

Well, it looks like you two have a lot to do, so I'm going to go. Thank you for dinner, Annie, and thank you, Ally for letting me share this day with you. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

After Ally's bath, Annie and Ally watch television. Ally yawns. They go upstairs. Annie puts Ally to bed. Annie returns to the living room just in time for the President's news release.

INT. PALACE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE EVENING FRIDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good evening, this is Elbib Ehtdrow, reporting from the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem. Ladies and gentlemen, The Supreme President!

NATAS

Good evening. By now you must have questions like, Who am I? Where did I come from? What am I doing here? And rightly so. First, I would like to respond to the accusations aimed at me. I have been called a liar, a murderer, and a serpent. I ask you, have I lied to anyone? Have I murdered anyone? Do I really look like a serpent? I will tell you my name. It is Natas Reficul. I want you to decide in your own mind as to who I am, and where I come from, and why I am here, from my actions as your Supreme President. You will know by the policies I put in place in the New One World Order. You will know by how your lives become easier and more prosperous and enjoyable. You will be the final judge. Thank you and good evening.

(35)

ELBIB

Well, there you have it folks! This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. PALACE SECURITY OFFICE MORNING SATURDAY ISRAEL

Senator Gilmore of Texas had declared open war on the Global Village by calling the Victory Force into action. Captain Nomed wanted to place a spy into the ranks of the Victory Force, so he called the F.B.I. and got an investigative report on the Senator. After viewing the report, one name that stood out was Sergeant, Raymond Brooks, who served with the Senator in the Marine Corps. Requesting another report on Mr. Brooks, Nomed learns his last known address is in Houston, Texas. Nomed calls the Houston police Dept.

DESK SERGEANT (VO)

Police Department.

NOMED

I would like to speak with Captain Saunders.

DESK SERGEANT (VO)

Hold on.

SAUNDERS (VO)

Saunders here.

NOMED

This is Captain Nomed in Jerusalem. I'm looking for a Mr. Raymond Brooks. His last known address was Houston, Texas. Can you locate him for me?

SAUNDERS (VO)

What you want old Ray for, Captain?

NOMED

Oh, it sounds as though you know him.

SAUNDERS (VO)

Yes, he is one of my undercover agents.

NOMED

I want him to report to me at the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem, A.S.A.P. Do you have a problem with that?

(36)

SAUNDERS

No, sir. I'll take care of it right way.

NOMED

Good, have a limo pick him up and take him to the Houston Airport. There will be a plane waiting for him there. That will be all.

Nomed hung up the phone, and smiled. He was pleased with his plan to place a spy in the Victory Force. His phone rings. He picks it up. It's the duty officer at the airport. He reported a shooting incident.

INT. JERUSALEM AIRPORT MORNING SATURDAY ISRAEL

Pastor Ralph was distraught. He had led his congregation to Jerusalem to be raptured up by Christ. They were now being held like prisoners at the airport. There were soldiers at every exit. He could not face his people, so he made a mad dash for the nearest exit. He pushed past the soldiers and out through the door. He ran as fast as he could. He was ordered to stop, but kept on running. The soldiers raised their weapons and fired. Pastor Ralph fell to the ground. The soldiers walked over to the body, pushed it with the barrel of their rifle. He did not move. Pastor Ralph was dead. A truck pulled up next to the body, two soldiers got out and threw the body in the truck and drove away. That was the last that was seen of Pastor Ralph. The people didn't know what to do. They stood there in shock. Then they heard over the loud speaker.

NOMED

May I have your attention, please? It has been brought to my attention that a terrorist trying to escape had to be shot. It was unfotunate, but we cannot let terrorists get the upper hand. Now, on a brighter note, I have been authorized to grant you safe passage back to your homelands. See the airline representative for your departure time, and by all means, do not step outside of the terminal with out an escort. Thank you.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM MORNING SATURDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good morning, this is Elbib Ehtdrow reporting from the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem. This is The Global City News. Today is Saturday.

(37)

There has been a report that a terrorist was shot and killed while trying to escape at the airport. Those at the airport are being sent back to their home lands.

A Senator from Texas has declared open war on the Global Village. He has banded together those who disagree with the One World Order.

There have been reports of demonstrations by protestors. It appears many are not happy with the changes implemented by The Global Village.

Last night the Supreme President addressed the world in response to the accusations of being called a liar, murderer, and a serpent, made by the two witnesses. He neither denied, nor admitted to these accusations. I guess the people will have to decide for themselves. The two witnesses are not concerned with his remarks. They just continue to roam the streets preaching the prophecy of God. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. HOUSTON P.D. SAUNDERS OFFICE MORNING SUNDAY U.S.

Come in. I got a call from Captain Nomed, head of security forces for the Supreme President. He wants you to go to the Palace in Jerusalem.

RAY

Did he say what he wanted to see me about?

SAUNDERS

No, and I didn't ask. Nomed is no one to fool around with. He is the top dog in the Global Village Military. You have to leave right away. I have your papers all ready. Go home, pack, and wait for a limo to pick you up. There will be a special plane waiting for you at the airport. Nomed will meet you at the other end.

RAY

No can do, Gil. I have to go to the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem. A Captain Nomed has sent for me. A limo is going to pick me up in a few minutes, so I don't have much time.

SENATOR (VO)

Nomed huh? You had better be careful with this Nomed character. I hear he is dangerous. A very powerful person in the Global village. Watch your back old buddy. Call me when you get back.

ANNIE

Of course. If I can be of help, just let me know.

LEONARD

I don't want to impose on you any more than I have. You've done so much already.

ANNIE

Don't give it another thought. How about after you take care of things, you come over to my house? Ally and I will have lunch ready.

LEONARD

That would be great.

Annie stops the car in front of Leonard's house. He explains to Ally, that he had some things to do, and that she was to stay with Annie, and he would come over for lunch later. Leonard gets out and goes into his house. Annie pulls into her garage, and she and Ally go into the house.

I wanted to let you know that I was discharged this morning. I'm at home now.

PAUL (VO)

That's great news, Are you walking now?

LEONARD

You remember I asked you if you came in my room last night while I was asleep? You said, no. I knew a man was in there. I saw him. Well, I got up out of bed and walked across the room, opened the door and looked out into the hall, but saw no one. It was then, that I realized that I had walked, and I have been walking ever since. The doctor checked me and said I would be just fine.

PAUL (VO)

That's great! You really are blessed.

LEONARD

Yes, God has truly blessed me. Hey, are you still having your Bible study tomorrow night?

ANNIE

Did you have any luck with the phone messages?

LEONARD

No, all I can do is wait for her to call me. I have my cell phone with me. The first thing I need to do is get a car. Mine was destroyed in the accident. So, if you could keep Ally here, I could go and take care of that.

(42)

ANNIE

Why not let her spend the night here with me in case Jenny does call, and it's late? I could have her ready for school in the morning, and you could pick her up then.

LEONARD

Oh my, I forgot all about school. You sure you don't mind keeping her?

ANNIE

No, I don't mind at all. I have enjoyed having her with me. I will miss her very much when she goes back home. I can drive you to get a new car, if you want.

LEONARD

 No, I'll call a cab. Thanks Annie, you're terrific! Oh, by the way, my therapist at the hospital, has invited me and Ally to come to his house tomorrow night for dinner and a Bible study afterwards. Would you like to come along? Paul said I could bring anyone.

INT. COMMUNIST PARTY HEADQUARTERS EVENING SATURDAY CHINA

Meeting. The People's Republic Of China were upset about Natas Reficul becoming the Supreme President.

LU YEN PING

We have worked too many years to become the world's super power to lose it now. We must devise a plan to assassinate the Supreme President.

SOO LOO CHANG

Since my father is the Prime Minister of China, and one of the ten world leaders, he has shamed China by handing our country over to Natas Reficul. I feel it is my duty to be the one to assassinate the Supreme President.

(43)

LU YEN PING

How do you plan to carry out this assassination?

SOO LOO CHANG

I will convince my father that it would look good for China if he would offer me as a gift to the President. I am quite confident that Natas Reficul will not refuse the gift. It would be an insult to China if he did. I have a plan, and once I have gained his trust, I will put that plan into motion, and then my father can take his rightful position, as Supreme President.
