INT. FEDERAL BUILDING SECURITY OFFICE MORNING TUESDAY U.S.

(70)

DUTY OFFICER

Good morning Mr. brooks, we have been expecting you. You are to meet with Senator Gilmore. If you would like, I could have a guard show you the way, sir.

RAY

No, thanks. I will find it.

Ray walks down the hall, finds the door with Gil's name.

SENATOR GILMORE'S OFFICE

He opens the door and goes in, shakes hands with Gil.

GILMORE

How in the world are you?

RAY

I'm just great! You're looking pretty good too. I'm starving! Can you get away?

GIL

Sure, I have an hour to spare.

They leave the building, hail a cab, go to a restaurant.

EXT. CAB

GIL

How did you get assigned to my staff?

RAY

Nomed, head of Security in Jerusalem set it up. He met me at the airport. It wasn't long before he told me that he wanted me to spy on you. He offered a nice package. Class two clearance, unlimited expense account, and plush apartment in the Presidential Palace Complex, in Jerusalem.

GIL

So, I gather you accepted his offer. Why?

Ray

Well, if I didn't, he would just get someone else. At least this way, I can help you. Someone else would not be as cooperative. Now, what is this Victory Force all about? Nomed made mention of it.

GIL

That is what I wanted to see you about. The Victory Force is made up of all the people in the world that are against the Global Village. They need someone to lead them. I want you to run the whole operation for me. I can't do it, I am too much in the public eye, besides you're the only one I would trust. It's perfect Ray. Who would ever think that the leader of the Victory Force was the same man they sent to spy on the force?

(71)

The cab stops, Gil and Ray go into the restaurant and sit down. The waiter takes order.

INT. RESTAURANT MORNING TUESDAY U.S.

RAY

When do you need my answer, Gil?

GIL

The sooner, the better. The Global Village is successful because of it's ability to throw money around to who ever wants it. If we can cripple that money flow, the people will start turning against the village.

RAY

I see what you mean. If there is no money, they can't back up their promises.

GIL

I don't know who this Natas character is. He claims he is God, and has deceived many, but I don't buy it. What's your take on this?

Their food arrives.

RAY

I don't know, but I want to get right in the middle of this. It's the quickest way to find out.

GIL

Good, I'll give you a list of leaders of every country that has joined the Victory Force.

RAY

What will you be doing?

GIL

I'll be touring the world, speaking about freedom, and how Natas Reficul is taking that freedom away. You'll be my personal assistant. You'll set up my tours. Places, dates, times, etc. I'll have a secretary to actually do all this, while you're working with the force. You'll get a copy of my agenda, so you can tell Nomed where I am.

(72)

Ray

Let's get that list, and I'll be on my way.

INT. PALACE NATAS' OFFICE MORNING MONDAY ISRAEL

NATAS

Gentlemen, I congratulate you on all your accomplishments. The Global Village appears to be moving along very nicely. It is so easy to deceive the people. Why, in just a few short days, I have them eating out of my hands, and begging for more. Ha! Ha! ha! What fools they are. Now, what is happening out in my kingdom?

NOGARD

Sir, all our changes are going through the proper channels in each country. Our tax money will start flowing into the Village Bank next month. All situations are under Global Village control. Now sir, let me introduce you to our new Director of Education, Mr. Lived.

NATAS

Welcome aboard, Mr. Livid. What do you have in mind for the Global Village education system?

LIVED

Thank you sir. I will be changing the school hours to conform to the four day work week. This way parents and children will arrive at home approximately the same time. This will eliminate the Latch Key kids, and the Federal Care Centers.

NATAS

Excellent! How soon before this goes into effect?

LIVED

I have briefed all countries by memo. All I need to do is fax authorization from you sir, and it will go into effect immediately.

NATAS

Send your fax, Mr. Lived. Keep me informed. That will be all gentlemen, and thank you.

(73)

INT. ANNIE'S HOUSE LIVING ROOM MORNING TUESDAY U.S.

Annie calls Julie.

JULIE (VO)

Hello?

ANNIE

Hi, Julie. I just had to tell you the good news.

JULIE (VO)

What’s the good news?

ANNIE

Paul called me and asked me out for coffee. He took me to this beautiful little restaurant. We weren't together long before Paul revealed his feelings for me. Julie, I feel the same way about him.

JULIE (VO)

That's wonderful, Annie! Remember I said, maybe this is Mr. Right?

ANNIE

Yes, I remember.

Julie (VO)

I'm so happy for you Annie.

ANNIE

Thanks, we are going to dinner. I have to go. Bye.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM EVENING MONDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

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

The Global Village I.D. card has gone into production. Each person over sixteen will receive a card in the mail. You are to activate the card by pressing your right thumb on the seven headed dragon seal. You will need this card to identify yourself. No card, no service!

The fifteen hecklers are not doing well at all. The longer they go without water, the weaker they get. If the curse is not lifted soon ,they will die. The two witnesses do not seem to be concerned.

There was an attempt on the lives of the two witnesses today. It was reported that about thirty people lined the roof tops and fired down on the witnesses with a hail of bullets that would have killed a hundred people, but when the smoke cleared, the two old men could not be found. They are back on the streets preaching.

(74)

There was a new Director of Education appointed today. His name is Mr. lived. There will be some changes in the education system. Just what they will be, is not known at this time. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

EXT. ANNIE'S HOUSE EVENING TUESDAY U.S.

Paul arrives. Rings doorbell. Annie answers the door. They get into Paul's car.

INT. PAUL'S CAR

PAUL

Would you like to go to The Cottage Inn?

ANNIE

Oh, yes. I'd love to.

INT. COTTAGE INN EVENING TUESDAY U.S.

PAUL

Annie, I want to know all about you.

ANNIE

Well, I was born here in Long Beach. I'm an only child. I went to U.C.L.A. and majored in business. I became a designer and manufacturer of children's clothes. I sold the business, and now I just design. I have never been married, nor had any children. I'm forty-two years old. That's about it. How about you?

PAUL

I was born in San Diego. I am a twin. I went to med school and became a physical therapist. I work at the County Hospital. I'm fifty years old. I have never been married. My uncle died and left me the rooming house, and I love to study God's word. That's about all.

Food arrives. Paul says grace.

ANNIE

Sure is funny how things work out. Ever since the hooded figure came, my whole life has changed. First, there was Ally coming to my door, then I met Leonard in the hospital, then I met you last night.

(75)

PAUL

Sure is, I'm so happy how things have turned out.

Annie

You were right Paul, the food here is excellent.

PAUL

I knew you would like everything about this place.

EXT. STREETS OF JERUSALEM EVENING MONDAY ISRAEL

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: HELL FOLLOWED WITH HIM AND POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM OVER THE FOURTH PART OF THE EARTH, TO KILL WITH A SWORD, AND THE HUNGER, AND WITH DEATH, AND THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. The hell that follows after, is the lake of fire and brimstone. Natas Reficul, Nogard, Tnepres, and Lived are those whose power was given over the earth. They are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The word kill means, to deceive the people with the sword, which is the word. It is twisting the minds of men about the truth that causes the deception. The hunger is the end days of famine, and starvation from the truth. Only lies and deception rule the world. Then comes death, which is separation from God. Through the deceptions of Satan, and the lack of truth, man is killed. He is spiritually dead. The beasts of the earth, are The Global Village, and the One World Order. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: I SAW A BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, AND UPON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS. AND UPON HIS HEADS THE NAME OF BLASPHEMY. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Behold, the seven heads is Natas Reficul. The ten horns are the ten world leaders that gave Natas the ten crowns which is authority. The name of blasphemy on his head is the Global Village. Beware, now cometh the war with the saints. The spiritual battle against the ruler of darkness. Woe unto those who inhabit the earth. There cometh yet one more beast.

(76)

INT. PAUL'S HOUSE PAUL'S ROOM EVENING TUESDAY U.S.

Paul woke suddenly, sensing the presence of someone in his room. He opens his eyes. There at the foot of his bed is a figure engulfed in a bright light. The figure says, FEED MY SHEEP, then turns and walks through the door. Paul jumps out of bed, runs across the room, opens the door and looks out into the hall. There is no one there. He returns to his bed, sits down, and scratches his head. He lay back on the bed trying to sort this whole thing out in his mind.

EXT. STREETS OF JERUSALEM MORNING TUESDAY ISRAEL

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: AND IT WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM TO MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, AND TO OVERCOME THEM: AND POWER WAS GIVEN HIM OVER ALL KINDREDS, AND TONGUES, AND NATIONS. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Now cometh the time of tribulation. Natas Reficul has come to make war with the saints, and steal their very souls through lies, and deceit. Hearken unto our words. Soon, soldiers will come and march through the streets and towns all over the world. Soon,the bloodshed will begin, and the streets will run red with the blood of the saints slain for the testimony of Christ.

The people ignored them as they passed by. Others shouted foul remarks then ran away. The two old men stopped and raised their hands to heaven.

WITNESSES (unison)

Oh heavenly Father, send down fire and enclose these stiff-necked people.

As they speak, fire comes down out of the sky, and forms a six foot high fence of flames around the market place. The people are trapped.

WITNESSES (unison)

We are the witnesses of God, sent by God to reveal to you the prophecies. Why do you not pay heed to these truths?

When the witnesses felt they had said enough, they dismissed the wall of flames with a wave of their hand. Then moved on.

(77)

INT. MOTEL IN WASHINGTON D.C. MORNING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Ray woke early, jumped into the shower. Decided to hold a sales convention in Las Vegas. To make sure the Global Village wouldn't interfere, Ray called Nomed.

NOMED (VO)

Captain Nomed.

RAY

Captain, this is Ray Brooks. How are you sir?

NOMED (VO)

I'm fine. What can I do for you Mr. Brooks?

RAY

I have learned that there is going to be a meeting of the Victory Force leaders. The Senator is going on tour, so he is sending me to this meeting. This will be my chance to get in good standing with these leaders. I need to know that there will be no interference from the Global Village, or it will ruin any chances for future plans.

NOMED (VO)

Good thinking Mr. Brooks. No one from the Village will interfere.

RAY

Thank you, Captain. I will keep you posted.

NOMED (VO)

Very good, Mr. brooks.

Ray hangs up. Calls Gil.

GIL (VO)

Senator Gilmore.

RAY

Gil, this is Ray. Can you talk?

GIL (VO)

Sure, go ahead.

RAY

I need you to get a message out to the leaders. I'm going to hold a sales convention in Vegas.

(78)

GIL (VO)

Good idea. What's the message?

RAY

VICTORY SALES CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT THE FLAMINGO HOTEL, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, ON FRIDAY AT EIGHT P.M. TO CONFIRM SEATING CONTACT, VICTOR. FLAMINGO.COM. That ought to do it. I can pick up the confirms on my laptop.

GIL (VO)

Sounds good to me. Give me about an hour. Then it's up to you.Keep me posted.

RAY

Okay thanks. Oh, wait a minute. I need your office to make reservations at the Flamingo in Vegas, for about fifty or sixty people. Okay?

GIL (VO)

Will do, Bye.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM MORNING TUESDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

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

Earlier this morning the witnesses caused a wall of fire to enclose the market place, trapping the people inside. No one was injured.

It's been three days now since the hecklers had any water. Nothing can be done for them. This curse was placed on them by the witnesses, and it can only be removed by them.

Here in Jerusalem, all is quiet for the time being, but the day has just begun. Nothing new has been said about the education system. Rumor is, that the hours are gong to be changed to the regular work hours. Mind you now, these are just rumors. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. PAUL'S HOUSE EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Bible study. They all sit down. Jenny takes Ally to the living room to play. Paul starts with a prayer.

PAUL

Last meeting we learned that the hooded figure was not Christ. Tonight we will learn just who the hooded figure is. The second letter to the Thessalonians was written because of the confusion about when Christ was to return. Some were saying he had already come, so in order to end the confusion, Paul wrote this letter. Robert would you please read II Thessalonians 2;3?

(79)

ROBERT

LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS: FOR THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, AND THAT MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, THE SON OF PERDITION.

PAUL

Thank you Robert. Paul states here, that they have to look for two things before Christ returns. There has to be a falling away, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. So, let's find out what this falling away is. Emma, would please read I Timothy 4:1?

EMMA

NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKS EXPRESSLY, THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS.

PAUL

Thank you, Emma. Timothy says some shall depart from the faith, Paul says look for a falling away. Now, we have to determine, is the falling away and the departing the same sign? Any comments?

ED

Many have turned away from the truth. Look at what took place in the nineties with the President's scandals. Sixty percent of the people said it was alright that the President lied. Look at today, truth is not exactly on the top of our moral charts,

PAUL

Thank you Ed. The churches of today teach only the concepts of men, and logical theory as the word of God. These are the seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils that Timothy speaks of. We all have experienced this one time or another, that's why we are studying together and not in the churches. So I would conclude that Timothy is referring to a departing from the truth, and Paul is referring to a falling away from the tuth. Now, who is the man of sin? Julie, would you please read Ezekiel 28:2?

(80)

JULIE

SON OF MAN, SAY UNTO THE PRINCE OF TYRUS, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: BECAUSE THINE HEART IS LIFTED AND THOU HAST SAID, I AM A GOD, I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GOD, IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS; YET THOU ART A MAN, AND NOT GOD THOUGH THOU SET THINE HEART AS THE HEART OF GOD.

PAUL

Thank you Julie. We must first determine who God is referring to as the prince of Tyrus. We see in Ephesians 2:2 & 6:12 and Luke 22:53 that Lucifer is referred to as the prince of the air, the prince of the power of the air, and the spirit, that ruler of darkness. In II Corinthians 4:4 Lucifer is know as the God of this world. So, with those scripture references, there can be no doubt that Tyrus is symbolic for the world, and that the prince is Lucifer. Keep in mind what the prince of Tryus has said. Jenny would you read Isaiah 14:12- 14, please?

JENNY

HOW ART THOU FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING! FOR THOU HAST SAID IN THINE HEART, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD: I WILL SIT UPON THE MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION IN THE SIDES OF THE NORTH. I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.

PAUL

Thank you Jenny. Now if we compare what Ezekiel said, to what Isaiah said, we find it is the same, which leaves us no choice but to determine that the prince of Tryus, and Lucifer, are one and the same. We have one more verse to compare with. Annie would you read II Thessalonians 2:4 please?

ANNIE

WHO OPPOSETH AND EXALTETH HIMSELF ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD, OR THAT IS WORSHIPPED; SO THAT HE AS GOD SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, SHOWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD.

PAUL

Thank you, Annie. Don't those words sound just like what Ezekiel, and Isaiah said? Now, who is God referring to in this verse? Look back at II Thessalonians 2:3, the last sentence. THAT MAN OF SIN, THE SON OF PERDITION. It is plain to see that we now know that Satan, or Lucifer, what ever name you want to use, is the Son of perdition. So, I conclude that what we witnessed on Friday morning, was not the coming of Christ, but the arrival of the Son of perdition, the man of sin, Satan, the Great Dragon, The Serpent, or the Devil, who has been given the title of Supreme President, and who's name is Natas Reficul. Any questions?

(81)

There were no questions. Leonard delivered the closing prayer. Refreshments were put on the table. Paul and Annie went around the room speaking to others. Jenny sat at the table with Ally, and Leonard mingled with several of Paul's friends. It was time to leave. They all said their goodbyes.

LEONARD

Paul, you did a fine job.

PAUL

Thank you, Leonard. I hope everyone understood.

LEONARD

I'm sure they did. We'll see you Friday night.

PAUL

Looking forward to it. Good night.

INT. LEONARD'S HOUSE KITCHEN EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Jenny pours herself and Leonard a cup of coffee, and sits down at the table.

JENNY

Are you ready for Sunday's meeting at the church?

LEONARD

Yes, I think so.

JENNY

 I really hope you can change their minds. I know the despair they feel, and it's just awful.

LEONARD

I can imagine, but let's not worry about that now. I'm tired. Let's go to bed.

(82)

EXT. STREETS OF JERUSALEM EVENING TUESDAY ISRAEL

A little girl sits on the curb weeping. A crowd gathers to see what is going on. The witnesses are enclosed in a ring of fire for protection. The ring of fire gets closer and closer to the girl. No one makes an attempt to pull the child out of the path of the ring of fire, they just stand there looking. A few more steps and the fire will be upon the child, then suddenly the fire raises up and over the child, enclosing her inside with the witnesses.

WITNESSES (unison)

Why are you crying?

CHILD

Because my mother is going to die.

WITNESSES (unison)

What is wrong with your mother?

CHILD

My mother cannot swallow. When she tries to drink water, the water turns to blood. If she doesn't get water soon, she'll die.

WITNESSES (unison)

Do you know who we are?

CHILD

I think you are the ones that the people talk about. They say you walk up and down the streets saying the same things over and over. Are you?

WITNESSES (unison)

Yes, your mother and others were the ones that threw stones at us and called us names, so we asked God to turn their water into blood. Does that make you angry at God?

CHILD

No. If you do a bad thing, then you should be punished, but you shouldn't have to die. Can you ask God not to let her die?

WITNESSES (unison)

Do you believe that God can do this?

CHILD

Oh yes, God can do anything!

(83)

WITNESSES (unison)

Very well my child, gather all fifteen who are stricken, and bring them to the Temple Courtyard tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. If they truly repent unto the Lord, then the curse shall be lifted, but woe unto them if they repent not, for death shall fall upon them. Go, it shall be as you ask. (The child walked through the flames ) Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: HE SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, AND THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS: AND THEY SHALL BE GIVEN INTO HIS HAND UNTIL A TIME AND TIMES, AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Natas Reficul, has come to make war with the saints of God. Beware, thou are fighting against the spirit of darkness, the wickedness of the fallen angels that have been cast out of heaven. Put on the whole armor of God. For God, and only God can defeat the deceptions of Satan. Behold, the time and times and dividing of time, is 1,260 days, or forty-two months. Beware, soon cometh the second beast with the two horns, that looks like the lamb, but speaks like the dragon.

INT. ANNIE'S HOUSE KITCHEN EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

JULIE

Do you mind if I get personal?

ANNIE

No, I don't think so.

JULIE

Do you think you and Paul will get married?

ANNIE

Yes I do, Julie. Why?

Julie

I was just wondering. I just want you to be happy.

ANNIE

I'm very happy, Julie. Paul is really a wonderful person. Would you like some coffee?

JULIE

No, I think I'll go home, and turn in early.

(84)

ANNIE

Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.

They hug and say goodbye. Annie went back to the kitchen, poured a cup of coffee, and the phone rings.

ANNIE

Hello?

PAUL

Hi, Annie. It's Paul. Want to go for coffee?

ANNIE

Why don't you come here, I just made a fresh pot.

PAUL

Okay.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM EVENING TUESDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

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

If the fifteen hecklers repent and receive God, their curse will be lifted tomorrow morning.

The Global Village Policies are being implemented throughout the world. There does not seem to be any opposition.

The new One World currency is right on production schedule, to be issued on Monday.

Senator Gilmore of Texas, has started his world tour. He is enroute to England. He will speak about freedom, and what it means to lose it.

A new Education policy will soon be in effect. Still no reports on it's contents. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

EXT. ANNIE'S HOUSE FRONT DOOR EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Paul rings doorbell. Annie opens door.

ANNIE

Hi Paul, come in.

Paul goes in. Kisses Annie. They go to the kitchen.

INT. KITCHEN

ANNIE

Paul, I need to talk to you.

(85)

PAUL

Sure. About what?

ANNIE

Well, ever since last Friday, and the event in Jerusalem, I have been hearing words in my head. The same words, over and over again. "THEN IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU, LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE, BELIEVE IT NOT."

PAUL

Why that's wonderful Annie! God is getting in touch with you.

ANNIE

Yes, I guess he is. I told Leonard about this and he showed me the scripture in Matthew 24:23. He was going to give me a list of scriptures to study, but with all that has happened, I guess he forgot.

PAUL

Annie, Leonard gave me that list in the hospital, he said it was for a friend. That's what our Bible studies were based on.

ANNIE

Oh, I see. Paul, I believe I have learned enough from you and Leonard that I want to become a child of God. Will you help me?

PAUL

Of course, Annie. It's really quite simple. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God?

ANNIE

Yes, I do.

PAUL

Then you have the power to become a child of God.

Paul reaches into his pocket and takes out a small New Testament Bible.

Paul

Let's read John 1:12. BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVE HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. There Annie is the God given authority for you to be a child of God.

ANNIE

What do I have do, to use this power to become a child of God?

(86)

PAUL

I think I will let Peter answer that question. Read Acts 2:38.

ANNIE

THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.

PAUL

Are you sure you want to do this?

ANNIE

Yes, I'm sure. I have a hunger for God's word inside of me that won't leave me alone. Do I have to have a minister, or pastor to baptize me, or can anyone do it?

PAUL

Any child of God can baptize. All that is needed is enough water to submerge the person in.

ANNIE

Then you could baptize me. Would you baptize me Paul?

PAUL

I would be happy to baptize you. Just say when.

ANNIE

Now. Right now, Paul.

PAUL

Okay, we'll go to the beach.

Paul and Annie get into the car drive to the beach.

EXT. BEACH EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Paul took two blankets out of the trunk of the car and laid them on the sand. The moon was full and bright and laid a path of light onto the water. They removed their shoes and socks, and waded out into the cool water. When they got waist high, Paul took Annie's hands into his right hand, and placed his left hand behind her head.

PAUL

Annie, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

ANNIE

Yes, I do.

(87)

Paul lowered her body into the water until she was completely submerged.

PAUL

I baptize thee in the name of Jesus Christ.

Paul raised Annie up out of the water and stood her on her feet. They embraced. Paul had tears in his eyes. Annie with water running down her face had a radiant smile.

ANNIE

I feel wonderful!

PAUL

We'd better get out of the water, and get wrapped up in those blankets, before we catch cold.

Hand in hand they walk out of the water. Paul wraps Annie in a blanket, then himself. They sit on the sand. Paul reaches over and pushes Annie's wet hair off her face and kisses her.

 PAUL

Come on, let's go home and get dry clothes on.

EXT. ANNIE'S HOUSE EVENING WEDNESDAY U.S.

Paul walks Annie to the door.

PAUL

You had better go in and get into dry clothes. I'd better get home and do the same. It has been a wonderful evening, Annie.

ANNIE

Yes, it has. If nothing else takes place in my life, I couldn't be any happier, or feel as fulfilled as I do tonight. I'm glad you were a part of it.

They kiss. Paul goes to the car and drives off.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM MORNING WEDNESDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

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

Top story, a massive dispersement of Military Forces from one country to another. Captain Nomed ordered the movment because he feels the soldiers will do a better job of peace keeping in a country other than their own.

 (88)

Reports are coming in that soldiers in full battle pack are seen getting on planes, and getting off planes. They all wear the new seven headed dragon patch on their sleeve. The emblem of The Global Village.

Remember, at ten o'clock this morning, the fifteen hecklers are going to be healed if they receive God.

The new education policy will be released sometime today. Rumors have it, that there is going to be a change in the hours. We'll just have to wait and see. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. LEONARD'S HOUSE MORNING THURSDAY U.S.

Doorbell rings. Leonard goes to the door.

LEONARD

Hello, Annie. Come in, we're all in the kitchen.

KITCHEN

JENNY

Hi, Annie. What's up?

ANNIE

I have some wonderful news I want to share with you. Last night after Bible study Paul came over. I told him I wanted to become a child of God, like you guys. He explained everthing, and said I needed to be baptized. So we went to the beach and Paul baptized me. Isn't that great?

LEONARD/JENNY

That's wonderful Annie! Welcome to the family of God!

LEONARD

I'm so happy for you Annie. You'll have to excuse Ally and me, we have to be going. See you later.

 

JENNY

Now that you are a child of God, what do you plan to do?

ANNIE

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure God is leading me. When the event took place in Jerusalem, everyone I knew wanted to go, but I kept hearing this voice saying 'IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU, LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE, BELIEVE IT NOT.' I didn't know what to make of it, so I asked Leonard, and he said God was warning me not to be deceived.

(89)

JENNY

Yes, in Matthew 24:23. I know the verse very well.

ANNIE

Yes, that's the one. I feel something is happening to me, though I don't know what.

JENNY

Like what Annie?

ANNIE

Do you realize we have been neighbors for about five years, and I don't ever recall seeing any of you before? Now we are friends. The chain of events began in Jerusalem. Leonard had his accident, which should have killed him, but he escapes with minor injuries. You followed your heart and went to Jerusalem. Then Paul came into the picture with his Bible studies, and I felt compelled to go. All of a sudden, I have a hunger to learn about God, I met your wonderful daughter, and it's like we are all being drawn together. I believe God is leading us.

JENNY

I believe you are right, Annie. I have gone over the reasons why I chose to go to Jerusalem, a hundred times. Like the scripture in Matthew 24:23, I thought I knew and understood it, but I didn't. Leonard told me many times that I was being misled. It took many different things to happen, for me to come to the realization that Leonard was right. Now, it's all very clear.

ANNIE

Well, I have a lot to learn, but with God, and you on my side, it will be a pleasurable task.

JENNY

You'll do just fine

ANNIE

Have to go now. See you later.

Hello?

PAUL

Hi, Annie. I'm getting off work at eleven and I have the rest of the day off. I'd love to spend the time with you, if you don't have any plans.

ANNIE

No, I don't have any plans. Come on over.

PAUL

Okay, see you in a little while, bye.

INT. NATAS' OFFICE MORNING WEDNESDAY ISRAEL

Natas is talking to his secretary Soo Loo Chang.

NATAS

Miss Chang, do you realize that in just a mere six days, we have established a one world order known as the Global Village? We have completely taken over all aspects of the government, our forces have control of all military forces in the world, our policies are being implemented, our currency is in production, and the I.D. Card. What a piece of work! My staff has outdone themselves with this one. The only thing I lack now is, A One World Religion, and a leader for that Religion.

SOO LOO

Yes, Mr. President, that is quite an accomplishment. Do you have anyone in mind for the position?

NATAS

I haven't given it much thought until now. It will have to be someone that the people trust, and know. It should be a religious figure.

SOO LOO

Well sir, throughout history, the Popes were seeking for world power. They had it once, but lost it to the French in 1303. Ever since the fall of Rome, the church has established that Christianity was to be the One World Religion.

NATAS

Yes, that's it! Pope Eslaf Tehporp will be the leader! The Pope is just arrogant, and greedy enough to fill the position. His lust for power will make him accept my offer. Miss Chang take a letter. To your holiness, Pope Eslaf Tehporp. I here by invite you to an honorary dinner at the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem, at eight  o'clock, Thursday evening, to appoint you as the leader of the One World Religion, and welcome you into the Global Village. Your Supreme President, Natas Reficul. P.S. It would be in the best interest of The Global Village for you to declare Christianity as the One world Religion.

(91)

SOO LOO

How would you like this invitation delivered?

NATAS

I will have Captain Nomed deliver this invitation in person. Oh, and I would like you to attend this dinner with me, as my guest. Please send for Captain Nomed.

SOO LOO

Yes, sir. May I suggest that you call the Pope, and inform him of what is to take place. One day is very short notice

NATAS

Very well, put the call through. Let me know when he is on the line.

Soo Loo leaves office. Places call to the Vatican.

SOO LOO

Mr. President, the Pope is on the line.

NATAS

Thank you. Good morning your holiness. I am sorry to disturb you, but I have decided to make Christianity the one world religion, and I want you to be it's leader. What are your feelings regarding this matter?

POPE (beat)

Yes, Mr. President, I would be honored to accept your offer.

NATAS

Very good, your holiness. I'm sorry for such short notice, but I will need you here in Jerusalem tomorrow night to officially appoint you. I will be sending my head of Security, Captain Nomed. He will escort you to the Palace. Have a pleasant trip. Goodbye.

SOO LOO

Mr. President, Mr. Nomed is here.

Very good sir. When do you want me to leave?

NATAS

The first thing in the morning will be fine. You can pick up the invitation from Miss Chang. That will be all Captain.

Nomed leaves. Stops at Soo Loo's desk. She gives him the invitation.

EXT. TEMPLE COURTYARD MORNING WEDNESDAY ISRAEL

The fifteen hecklers were in the courtyard waiting for the witnesses. The little girl sat next to her mother. It was almost ten o'clock, and the witnesses were not there. The crowd was getting restless, when all of a sudden, the witnesses appeared on the Temple stairs, with their hands stretched toward heaven.

WITNESSES (unison)

OH HEAVENLY FATHER, WE PRAY THAT THOU LIFT THE PLAGUE FROM THOSE THAT ACCEPT THEE IN THEIR HEARTS. FATHER RESTORE THEIR HEALTH, AND GIVE THEM STRENGTH TO STAND AND PRAISE THEE. FATHER, TO THOSE THAT REJECT THEE IN THEIR HEARTS, TAKE THE BREATH FROM THEIR BODY.

They lowered their hands and watched. One by one, those that were stricken by the plague stood and praised God. All except for three. They lay dead on the ground. The crowd stood in awe of the miracle. The small child walked up the stairs and thanked the two old men, then kissed them on the cheek. The child and her mother walked away hand in hand. Off in the distance the voices of the two old men rang out.

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: FOR SUCH ARE FALSE APOSTLES, DECEITFUL WORKERS, TRANSFORMING THEMSELVES INTO THE APOSTLES OF CHRIST. AND NO MARVEL; FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. THEREFORE IT IS NO GREAT THING IF HIS MINISTERS ALSO BE TRANSFORMED AS THE MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Behold, the hooded figure is Satan, transformed into Natas Reficul. Mr. Nogard, Mr. Tnepres, and Mr. Lived are his angels transformed into the ministers of righteousness. They are deceitful workers, spirits of wickedness in high places. They have been cast down out of heaven, and have manifested themselves into apostles of Christ. They have come to make war with the saints of the most high. Beware, now cometh the Abomination of Desolation.

ANNIE

Oh yes, Paul, I will marry you. I love you too!

Paul slips the ring on her finger and kisses her. They spend a quiet evening together, dancing to some soft music. The night slipped away too quickly, when Paul realizes it is late.

PAUL

ANNIE

I know what you mean. It's been a wonderful evening.

Twelve of the fifteen walked away completely healed, while three lay dead on the ground.The little girl that brought this all about, walked up the stairs and kissed the two old men on the cheek. She has been the only person that has been allowed to touch the witnesses.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM MORNING THURSDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

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

(98)

Only seven days ago, a hooded figure came down on a cloud, and things haven't been the same since. Many believe he is Jesus, but there are two old men that say he is Satan. Who ever he is, he has made a lot of changes in just one week. There has been a complete governmental takeover, massive movement of Military forces around the world, a new income system, a flat tax, crime policy, new currency, and a new education policy.

Another recent change is the I.D. card. All banking done in the world will be through theGlobal Village Bank in Jerusalem, the capital city of the world. You can not buy nor sell with out the I.D. card, nor can you go from one country to another without it.

 I have been informed that Pope Eslaf Tehporp, is making a sudden visit to Jerusalem. Captain Nomed will escort him from Rome, to the Palace in the President's plane. There is going to be an honorary dinner for the Pope this evening. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. ANNIE'S HOUSE AFTERNOON FRIDAY U.S.

PAUL

Hi, Annie. What's wrong, honey?

ANNIE

I am very worried about Julie. Yesterday, she called and wanted to go to lunch. I told her you had already made plans for the day, but I invited her to dinner. She said, she had other plans. I have been calling her since last night, but there is no answer. This is not like her, at all.

PAUL

Why don't we go by her house and check it out?

ANNIE

I'd rather wait here. I'm sure she'll call me.

PAUL

Perhaps that would be the best thing to do.

ANNIE

I'm so glad you're here with me. Let's eat.

INT. VATICAN CITY POPE'S OFFICE MORNING THURSDAY ROME

The Pope informed his staff of the sudden trip to Jerusalem. There were two limousines at the airport for Captain Nomed, and his security guards. Nomed enters the Pope's office.

POPE

Good morning Captain, so good of you to come.

NOMED

Good morning your Holiness. It is my pleasure to serve you.

POPE

Will you join me in a glass of sherry? I find it helps me relax.

NOMED

Yes, I'd like that.

While they drank their sherry, a security guard informed Nomed of a problem with the plane. It was not serious, but it would delay the flight. There was a hydraulic leak in the system.

POPE

Since there is a problem, why don't we have lunch here?

NOMED

Perhaps that would be best. They should have the problem fixed by then.

INT. VATICAN CITY NOON THURSDAY ROME

The Pope and Nomed had finished lunch and were on their second glass of sherry when they were informed that the plane was ready. They got into the limousine and drove off. The Pope's entourage followed in the second limo.

INT. SUPREME PRESIDENT'S PLANE AFTERNOON

They had not been in flight for more than two hours when Nomed was informed of a recurring problem with the hydraulic pressure. They are forced to land in Athens, Greece.

INT. E. VENIZELOS ATHENS INT. AIRPORT GREECE AFTERNOON

Nomed speaks with mechanic.

NOMED

Have you found the problem?

CHIEF MECHANIC

It appears that there is air in the hydraulic lines. Who ever replaced the broken section in Rome, did not bleed the system properly. It's going to take at least six hours to bleed the lines in a plane this size.

(100)

NOMED

Very well, I'll inform the Pope. Can we remain on board during the repairs?

MECHANIC

Yes, if you like.

Nomed informed the Pope of the problem. They decided to stay on board. Nomed returns to his seat. He decided to call the President.

SOO LOO (VO)

President's office. This is Miss Chang. How may I help you?

NOMED

Miss Chang, this is Captain Nomed, I need to talk to the President.

SOO LOO (VO)

NOMED

Yes, give him this message. Having mechanical problems with plane. Will be delayed about six hours for repairs. Will arrive in Jerusalem about 11:30 P.M.

Very well Captain, I'll give him the message.

Soo Loo ripped the note into little pieces and threw them into the waste basket.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL CASINO EVENING FRIDAY U.S.

Julie was getting bored with the slots. She decided to go to her room and change for dinner. On her way to the elevator, she caught a glimpse of the bar, and thought she would stop and have a drink.

INT. BAR

She sat at the bar, ordered a Tom Collins. As she waited, flashbacks of her younger days as an alcoholic raced through her mind. The bartender placed the drink in front of her. She heard the words that she had repeated a thousand times in A. A. classes. "I AM AN ALCOHOLIC, AND I CAN NEVER TAKE A DRINK." She just sat there looking at the drink. The battle of temptation was going on in her head. 'GO AHEAD JULIE, ONE DRINK WON'T HURT.' 'NO, JULIE, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT DRINKING HAD DONE TO YOU?' She picked up her change off the bar and was putting it away when she decided to walk away from the drink. She felt proud of herself. As she stood to leave, she looked in the mirror, and saw Annie's friend Paul coming into the bar. She turned around to greet him, but he walked past her as if she wasn't there. She walked over to where he was sitting.

(101)

JULIE

Hello, Paul. Aren’t you going to say, hello?

RAY

Excuse me, do I know you?

JULIE

Oh, I'm sorry. You look just like someone I know.

Feeling a bit embarrassed she returned to where she was sitting. She decided to go straight to the restaurant for dinner. Ray watched her as she walked away. There was something about her that he was attracted to, but he didn't know what or why, so he followed her into the restaurant.

INT. RESTAURANT

Julie looking at menu. Ray walks up to her table.

RAY

May I sit down?

JULIE

Far from what you may think, that episode at the bar was exactly what I said it to be. I really had mistaken you for someone else.

RAY

I didn't take it the wrong way. I just wanted to apologize to you, if I appeared to be rude.

JULIE

You were not rude, I just made a mistake.

RAY

Now that we have that out of the way, may I join you for dinner?

She didn't see any harm in it, so she agreed.

(102)

RAY

My name is Ray.

JULIE

I'm Julie.

RAY

I have a sales meeting to go to after dinner, but I would like to meet you later and talk about this person you think I look like. That is, if you don't have any plans.

Dinner is served.

JULIE

Sure! What time?

RAY

How about midnight? Is that too late?

JULIE

No, midnight will be fine. I'll meet you at the bar.

RAY

Great, I have to go now. Can I drop you off anywhere?

JULIE

No, thanks. I'm staying here in the hotel.

INT.SOO LOO CHANG'S QUARTERS EVENING THURSDAY ISRAEL

Soo Loo drew herself a bath, and added her most expensive oriental bath oils. Tonight, she would pamper herself with the luxuries of the Global Village. As she soaked her almond colored body in the beautiful fragrances of the oils, she thought of how she would end the life of Natas Reficul, and rid the world of this imposter. Soo Loo was very beautiful, and a very determined woman. She stepped out of her bath, dried her silky smooth body. She donned the customary gown of a Chinese Princess. It was Chinese-red with golden dragons woven into the satin material. She placed a double edge dagger in the pillow that rested at the small of her back. She wore red satin slippers, and her hair was adorned with beaded combs. She looked in the mirror and saw the reflection of a beautiful woman. Now all she had to do was wait for Natas.

INT. PALACE HALL EVENING THURSDAY ISRAEL

Natas walked across the hall and knocked on Soo Loo's door. The door opens. Natas is taken aback with Soo Loo's beauty. He hands her a bouquet of red roses.

(103)

NATAS

You look exquisite, my dear.

SOO LOO

Thank you, Mr. President.

She took the roses, then his arm, and they walked down the hall to the Palace ballroom. As they entered, Soo Loo handed the roses to a guard, and asked that they be put in water, and placed in her quarters. They greeted the guests, and made small conversation as they made their way around the ballroom. The orchestra began playing a waltz. Natas and Soo Loo began to dance. The assassination plan was now in motion. The dance floor was getting crowded. This was the first sign for Soo Loo's assistant to turn the lights off. Soo Loo's heart was racing! The time was drawing near to do what she came here to do. Soo Loo smiled at Natas as they whirled around the floor, then it happened! The lights went out, and Soo Loo took the dagger from the pillow at her back and thrust it deep into Natas' stomach and pulled upwards, and then across his body. Natas fell to the floor. When the lights came back on, there was a loud scream that filled the room. There on the floor, in a pool of blood, lay the Supreme President. Soo Loo Chang was gone.Mr. Nogard immediately sealed off the ballroom. The President's personal physican was summoned. When he arrived, he was instructed to only sew up the wound, and put the body in a glass coffin, so he could be viewed by the people. All the guests were questioned, and they all gave the same answer. "THE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE THEY WERE DANCING, WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON, THE PRESIDENT WAS DEAD ON THE FLOOR." No one had seen Soo Loo Chang after the lights went out. The guests were allowed to leave. The body was removed, and prepared for the glass coffin, then taken to the Temple Courtyard, placed on a golden table where it could be viewed for the next three days. Mr. Nogard called for a special news release.

INT. NOGARD'S OFFICE EVENING THURSDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good evening, this is Elbib Ehtdrow reporting from the Presidential Palace in Jerusalem, with a special news bulletin from the Director of Government, Mr. Nogard.

NOGARD

People of the world, it saddens me to report that just moments ago, your Supreme President, Natas Reficul, was assassinated! There will be a full investigation. The world will be in mourning for the next seven days. The body can be viewed for the next three days and nights in the Temple Courtyard, for those who wish to pay their last respects. Thank you, and good night.

I'm in Athens Greece. Why do you ask?

NOGARD

You should have been here an hour ago.

NOMED (vo)

I called Miss Chang, and informed her of our delay due to mechanical problems with the plane.

NOGARD

I was not informed of your delay. However, I have some bad news for you. Natas is dead. He has been assassinated.

NOMED (vo)

What! How can this be? What happened?

NOGARD

I'm not sure. He was dancing with Miss Chang, the lights went out, and when they came back on, Natas was dead on the floor in a pool of blood, and Miss Chang was gone. No one seen anything. Everyone has been questioned. I want you to proceed with your orders. I can think of no one better to deliver the eulogy, than the Pope.

NOMED (vo)

Yes, of course. We should arrive at 11:30 P.M. I will begin an official investigation right away.

It is people like you that will once again make the world a place where freedom can be enjoyed. I salute your courage. This will be the only time that we all will be together at the same time.

Okay, Gil. I'm in the middle of the meeting here. I have to get back, I'll inform the others. Thanks for letting me know, bye.

Ray returns to the meeting. He went to the large television and turned it on.

(106)

RAY

Gentlemen, the Supreme President, Natas Reficul has just been assassinated. (There on the screen was the news bulletin about the assassination. Ray turned the set off.) Well gentlemen, this is both good news and bad news. Good, because after the viewing of the body, there should be a memorial service in honor of the President. This would be the best time to make our move on the printing sites, while the world is preoccupied with the memorial service. The bad part is that we only have three days to prepare. I need twelve people to be the communication network for the Victory Force. Out of these twelve, I will pick one to be my one on one, contact man. Now, if you all will write your names on the paper in front of you and drop it in the waste basket, I'll draw twelve names, then from those twelve I will draw one. Thank you.

The drawing took place in an orderly fashion. Ray drew the twelve and then the one. Mr. Norman Berger was the one to be his direct contact man.

RAY

Would all of you gentlemen come forward please? These gentlemen will be the communications network. Anything and everything goes through these twelve. Mr. Berger, will contact me for instructions. You all know our objective. We should not waste anytime. Thanks again for coming.

Ray went around the room and spoke with the members, and shook their hands.

Paul and Annie were in awe as they looked out the window and took in the most luminous display of lights they had ever seen. It was the famous Las Vegas strip.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL LOBBY EVENING FRIDAY U.S.

Paul and Annie enter the hotel. They heard the sounds of the casino. It was like a magical world inviting them in, but first they must find Julie. They went to the front desk and had her paged.

(109)

DESK CLERK

Julie Shaw. Would you please come to the lobby?

Julie hears the page and goes to the lobby.

JULIE

I'm so glad to see you both. Have you checked in?

ANNIE

It's good to see you too. No, we haven't.

JULIE

Good, I have a two bedroom suite that is just sitting empty. Please be my guests.

ANNIE

Okay, but just for tonight.

JULIE

Would you like to go and freshen up? I still have about thirty minutes before I meet with Ray.

PAUL

Did you say Ray, Julie? That's my brother's name, Raymond.

JULIE

Yes, That's his name.

PAUL

Then it has to be my brother. I didn't even think to ask you his name over the phone. Just the same, don't say anything about me okay?

They enter the room. Julie showed them around the suite.

JULIE

Okay, Paul. I won't say anything. You two settle in, and meet me at the bar, right across from the elevator.

ANNIE

I'm so happy for you Paul, everything indicates that this man is your brother.

PAUL

It sure does.

ANNIE

Come on, this unpacking can wait, let's go meet your brother.

(110)

They walked down the hall to the elevator, pushed the down button and waited. In a few seconds the doors opened. It was like Paul was looking into a mirror. There on the elevator stood Ray on his way to the bar. Ray stepped off the elevator, they hugged, and just held each other. Annie watched in amazement. She couldn't tell them apart.

PAUL

Ray, I would like you to meet my fiancee, Annie. Annie, this is my brother Ray.

RAY

So very nice to meet you, Annie.

ANNIE

Same here. You'll have to forgive me for staring, but this is so incredible.

RAY

I know, this is how most people react when they see us together. What on earth are you doing here in Vegas? Wait a minute, you two wouldn't happen to know a lady named Julie would you?

ANNIE

Yes, we do. She is my best friend. Paul and I came to see if you were, who Julie said you were, and decided to get married while we are here.

RAY

That's great! When is the lucky day?

PAUL

Annie hasn't picked a day yet.

RAY

Oh, we better get down to the bar, I'm meeting Julie there.

INT. BAR

They enter the bar. Julie looks in the mirror, and sees them coming.

JULIE

I see you all have met. Didn't I tell you they looked identical? Gee Ray, I hope you don't mind me calling them and telling them about you.

RAY

Of course I don't mind. I'm glad you did. It's so good to see Paul again. What has it been, ten or twelve years?

(111)

PAUL

It's been far too many years.

ANNIE

I'd like to make an announcement. Paul and I are going to get married. (she shows Julie her ring, then turns to Paul).Paul, I'd like to get married on Sunday.

PAUL

Fine. Sunday it is.

JULIE

Good, we can spend tomorrow shopping, while Paul and Ray are getting re-aquainted. I'm sure they have a lot to catch up on.

RAY

That's a great idea. In the meantime Paul, why don't you stay with me?

PAUL

Sounds good to me.

After they visit for a while, Paul and Annie excuse themselves, to go up to Julie's room, so Paul can get his luggage. Ray gives Paul a key and Ray and Julie stay at the bar.

INT. JULIE'S ROOM AFTER MIDNIGHT SATURDAY U.S.

PAUL

ANNIE

Oh, you and Ray will be too busy going over the last thirteen years. I like your brother, you both are very much alike. I love you Paul.

INT. HOTEL BAR

RAY

I'm so glad we had dinner together. Your friend Annie is a lovely person.

JULIE

Yes, Annie is a very kind and loving friend. Maybe I'll tell you about her someday.

RAY

I'd like that.

(112)

Ray and Julie leave the bar. Ray walks her to her room.

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE JULIE'S ROOM

Ray

I'm sure Paul and Annie would like to spend some time alone tomorrow, and I would like to spend more time with you. Just the two of us. How about dinner?

JULIE

I'd like that very much.

RAY

Good, then it's settled. I'll pick you up at 7:00. (Ray kissed her on the cheek) Good night. Oh, by the way, how about we all meet for breakfast? say, about 8:00?

JULIE

Ok, I'll tell Annie. Good night.

INT. PALACE AFTER MIDNIGHT FRIDAY ISRAEL

Captain Nomed went straight to Soo Loo Chang's office. He went through her desk, looking for something, anything that might give him a clue, as to what had happened, and why. He found nothing. He started towards Natas' office when he noticed some torn pieces of paper in her waste basket. He gathered them up and placed them on the desk,and arranged them so he could read what was on the paper. It was the message he had given her over the phone. He went into Natas' office and looked around. Then he went to the ballroom, the scene of the crime. It saddened him being where his idol had fallen. He quickly left and went to the Temple Courtyard to pay his respects to his God.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL RAY'S ROOM MORNING SATURDAY U.S.

The ringing of the phone woke Paul. Ray answered the phone.

RAY

Hello?

GIL (VO)

Ray, this is Gil. How did the meeting go?

RAY

Very good. Everything is set for Sunday evening, Jerusalem time, during the memorial services. All ten of the printing plants will be attacked at the same time. The plates, and currency will be taken, and the machinery destroyed.

(113)

GIL (VO)

Have you heard when the services will be held?

RAY

No, not yet. As soon as we know we will be ready. A Mr. Berger is my contact man. I have set up twelve men for a communication network. They contact him, and he will contact me.

Gil (VO)

Very good, Ray. I knew I could count on you.

RAY

Thanks, how's the tour going?

GIL (VO)

Well, it was short lived. Because of the assassination, I've postponed it until I find out who and what we are up against. So you can return to Washington any time.

RAY

Nothing is going to take place on my end until Monday our time, so I'd like to stay here in Vegas for a few days. I ran into my brother here, and he is getting married on Sunday. I'm the best man!

GIL (VO)

Hey, that's wonderful! You stay as long as you want, just keep me posted if anything comes up.

RAY

Okay, see you in a few days. Bye.

Ray headed for the shower.Paul got up, ordered coffee from room service. Ray came out just as the coffee arrived.

RAY

Ah, just what I need, a cup of coffee. You'd better get a move on Paul, we have to meet the ladies at eight.

PAUL

Okay, all I need is fifteen minutes.

INT. HOTEL LOBBY MORNING SATURDAY U.S.

Paul and Ray were down in the lobby by 7:45. Paul waited for the ladies, while Ray goes to the restaurant and reserves a table. Ray returns. Paul has a puzzled look on his face, and a brown envelope in his hand.

(114)

Ray

What's that in your hand, Paul?

PAUL

I don't know. A man just came up to me and asked if I was Mr. Brooks, I said yes. He handed me this envelope, and walked away. I think this is for you.

Paul gives Ray the envelope. Ray opens it and reads.

RAY

This is for me. I have to meet someone in the bar. You guys go ahead, and I'll be along shortly.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL JULIE'S ROOM MORNING SATURDAY U.S.

Annie was awakened by a strange feeling of a presence in the room. As she opened her eyes, there at the foot of the bed was a figure engulfed in a bright light. The figure said, 'FEED MY SHEEP,' then turned and walked through the door. She felt warmth and comfort embrace her. She knew that God had called her. She got up and woke Julie.

ANNIE

 Wake up sleepy head, we only have an hour, before we meet the guys for breakfast.

Julie was slow in getting up, but Annie kept after her. At 8:00 o'clock they were in the elevator heading for the lobby. As they got off the elevator, Annie spotted Paul and walked over to him.

ANNIE

Good morning Paul.

PAUL

Good morning Annie.

JULIE

Good morning Paul, where is Ray?

PAUL

He had to meet some one in the bar, he'll be along shortly. Let's go to the restaurant.

EXT. TEMPLE COURTYARD MORNING FRIDAY ISRAEL

There is a continous flow of mourners passing the coffin where Natas lays. The two witnesses are on the platform preaching the prophecy of God.

(115)

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: AND I BEHELD ANOTHER BEAST COMING UP OUT OF THE EARTH; AND HE HAD TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB, AND HE SPAKE AS THE DRAGON. AND EXERCISETH ALL THE POWER OF THE FIRST BEAST BEFORE HIM, AND CAUSETH THE EARTH AND THEM WHICH DWELL THEREIN TO WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST, WHOSE WOUND WAS HEALED. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. There lies Natas Reficul, better known as the Dragon, Serpent, Devil, or Satan. The head of the beast is dead, but the beast lives on. Mourn not ye people of the world, for in three days and three nights Natas Reficul, will stand among mankind once again. The beast with the two horns is the Pope, Eslaf Tehporp. He now sits in the Palace waiting for the appointed time, and then he shall raise Natas Reficul from the dead, and together they shall rule as one. He shall cause a statue of Natas Reficul to be built, and to be worshipped by all that live upon the earth.

The people grew tired of hearing the two old men. They pushed past the soldiers and started up the Temple stairs, when a huge piller of fire came down out of the sky, blocking their passage. The people ran in fear. A sudden wind swept across the courtyard, the fire was lifted upwards, and the witnesses were gone.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL RESTAURANT MORNING SATURDAY U.S.

Ray joins the others in the restaurant.

RAY

I'm sorry for holding things up, I'll explain everything later. Let's order, I'm hungry.

PAUL

Annie, we have to set aside some time this afternoon for a blood test and license.

ANNIE

That's right. How about we all meet here for lunch, then after lunch we can take care of it?

PAUL

Okay. Ray and I will go rent our tuxedos while you two go shopping.

(116)

EXT. TEMPLE COURTYARD NEWS MORNING FRIDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good morning, this is Elbib Ehtdrow reporting from the Temple Courtyard. This is The Global City News. Today is Friday.

The body of Natas Reficul will be transferred to the Palace Square early Sunday morning. The transfer route will be published in the evening edition of The Global Newspaper. A statue of the President will be erected in the Palace Square. It will be dedicated at 8:00 P.M.

The world is in mourning over the death of the Supreme President. Here in the courtyard, lay the body of Natas Reficul in a sealed glass coffin. It was only seven days ago that he descended down on a cloud to the very same courtyard where he now lays in wait.

There are eight armed soldiers guarding the coffin, which has been placed on a golden table. A large red carpet has been laid in front of the coffin for the people to walk on as they pass by and view the body of their redeemer, and God.

People are lined up two abreast for as far as the eye can see. It is obvious that Natas Reficul was worshipped by millions. As the people pass the coffin, they are weeping, and praying. This day will be remembered forever, for in that coffin lays the last hope for world peace.

The Pope, Eslaf Tehporp, arrived at the palace in the early morning hours. He was suppose to have attended the dinner last night, but for some unknown reason he did not make it. He was to be appointed as the worlds Religious Leader. This would have completed the four branches of control. Government, Economy, Education, and Religion. Who will make good, the promises of Natas Reficul now? This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL RESTAURANT AFTERNOON SATURDAY U.S.

Paul and Ray arrive. They order lunch. Lunch arrives.

RAY

Hi, Julie. Where's Annie?

JULIE

She bought a dress, and took it up to the room.

(117)

PAUL

Here she comes now. I hear you bought a dress.

ANNIE

Yes, I did, but you can't see it until tomorrow.

PAUL

We rented out tuxes, and a small chapel. It is plain, but I think you will like it. It comes with flowers and organ music. We have to be there at one o'clock.

ANNIE

Sounds wonderful.

PAUL

Annie and I are going to spend this evening together, I hope you don't mind.

RAY

We don't mind at all. Julie and I are going to dinner and a few casino's. How about we all meet here at 8:00 in the morning for breakfast?

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: AND HE DOETH GREAT WONDERS SO THAT HE MAKETH FIRE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THE EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF MEN. AND HE DECEIVETH THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH BY MEANS OF THOSE MIRACLES WHICH HE HAS POWER TO DO IN THE SIGHT OF THE BEAST; SAYING TO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH, THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE AN IMAGE OF THE BEAST, WHICH HAS THE WOUND BY THE SWORD, AND DOES LIVE. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Now cometh the false prophet. He causes an image to be erected of the beast. He shall do many wonders in the sight of men. He brings fire down out of heaven, and causes those who dwell on the earth to worship the image of the beast.

INT. PALACE NEWS ROOM EVENING FRIDAY ISRAEL

The suggestion to erect a statue of Natas Reficul has not gone unchallenged. Twelve sculptors have joined together to meet the Popes deadline for 8:00 P.M. Sunday evening. They guarantee that the statue will be ready in time.

There is still a line of people for as far as the eye can see in the Temple Courtyard passing by the glass coffin.

The transfer of the President's body will be at sunrise, Sunday morning. All citizens can line the streets for a last look at their President.

It has been two days now without a Supreme President. Who will make good all the promises of Natas Reficul? This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

Leonard wakes early, showers, shaves, goes to kitchen, and makes coffee. Reviews his notes for todays meeting at the church. Jenny comes down stairs.

JENNY

You're up early, what's wrong, honey?

LEONARD

Nervous I guess. I tried talking to these people once before, and I was not welcomed, remember?

JENNY

Maybe this time it will be different. Come on let's get some breakfast, and get your mind off the church for awhile.

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL RESTAURANT MORNING SUNDAY U.S.

Paul, Annie, Ray and Julie order breakfast. Order arrives. They eat and chat.

Julie

Where do you go from here, Ray?

RAY

I'll be goinig back to D.C. to see Senator Gilmore.

(119)

ANNIE

Just what is it that you do Ray?

RAY

Well, it's a bit complicated, but I work for the Senator. I'm the leader of the Victory Force, a group of people that oppose the Global Village Policies. I also work for Captain Nomed, head of security for the Global Village Military. I'm a spy. That is about all I can tell you now. Say, hadn't we better be getting ready for a wedding?

ANNIE

That's right, and I had better start getting myself ready.

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.

The Global Village Military will be lining the streets of the transfer route tonight, to prepare for the crowds of people expected to show up early.

Tomorrow evening at 8:00 P.M. the Pope, Eslaf Tehporp will be escorted by twelve Cardinals.

INT. CHURCH MORNING SUNDAY U.S.

Jenny, Leonard, and Ally arrive. They are greeted by a few members. Proceed to Pastor's office.

INT. PASTOR'S OFFICE

LEONARD

I didn't think I would be this nervous.

JENNY

You'll do just fine, honey.

(120)

LEONARD

It's almost time, you'd better go and get seated.

Jenny and Ally leave. Leonard prays for guidance.

INT. CHURCH PULPIT

Leonard enters church. Expects to see one hundred people. Church is filled. There are at least 400 people looking back at Leonard as he steps up to the pulpit. He glances at Jenny as if to say, "what is this?" Jenny smiles and hunches her shoulders. Leonard stands waiting for the people to find seats. Then in the doorway at the rear of the church Leonard sees a figure engulfed in a bright light, saying "FEED MY SHEEP," then fades away. Then he knew why there were so many people in the church.

LEONARD

Good morning. It is so nice to see so many come together to hear the word of God. To me, it's a miracle, for I was expecting to be speaking to one hundred members. Let me explain. My name is Leonard Jenk. My wife Jenny is a Deacon in this church. She would like say a few words.

Jenny steps up to the pulpit.

JENNY

Nine days ago, Pastor Ralph, myself and ninety-nine members of this church went to Jerusalem to be raptured. Obviously, it didn't happen. We all were devastated. We believed that God had left us behind. We were held like prisoners at the airport until they sent us back home. I didn't know why we were not raptured like Pastor Ralph had taught us, until last Monday evening. I attended a Bible study where God had revealed the truth about the Rapture Doctrine. That is why we all are here today, except for Pastor Ralph, he was shot and killed in Israel. I hope the message you hear, will reveal God's truth to you, as it has been to me.(returns to seat)

LEONARD

Let us pray. "Oh heavenly Father, bless the words that are spoken here today. Open the hearts and minds of those who diligently seek thy truth. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. I believe that Pastor Ralph's life was not taken by soldiers that were simply doing their duty, but that he was used to gather all of you here today in his church. Look around you, when was the last time you saw this church filled like it is now?

(121)

Many heads turn to look. Leonard begins speaking again as he did at the Monday night Bible Study. (Use Leonard's dialogue on pages 48, 49, and 50. A young woman stood.

WOMAN

I can only speak for myself, but I feel as if a heavy burden has been lifted from me. Can you enlighten us on all the things that have happened since the Supreme President came into power?

LEONARD

Yes ma'am, I think I can. I see most of you brought your Bibles. Perhaps you would share with those who do not have one. Please follow along in the scriptures. (As Leonard begins to speak, a brilliant light emanates from the cross on the wall behind him, engulfing his body.)Please turn to II Thessalonians 2:4. What we witnessed last Friday morning was not the coming of Christ, but the arrival of the Anti-Christ, the Son of perdition, or Satan. Will someone read verse four?

VOICE (OS)

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

LEONARD

Yes, Natas Reficul, is the Son of perdition, who descended down out of heaven on a cloud, took the form of a man, and claimed the title of Supreme President of the world, and your God. (Leonard goes to blackboard. Writes Natas Reficul. Under it he writes the name backwards. Satan Lucifer.) So you see, Natas is Satan. I intend to show you in the scripture who he is and where he came from.Turn to Revelation 12:9. Would someone read?

VOICE (OS)

And the Great Dragon was cast out. That old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the earth, and his angels with him.

LEONARD

Starting with Revelation 6:2 we will be reading a few verses that explain what took place the first four days after the hooded figure appeared. Would someone please read?

(122)

VOICE (OS)

And I saw, and 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.

LEONARD

This is the opening of the first seal. The rider on the white horse is Natas Reficul. The bow is symbolic for power to make war. The crown is authority given to him by the ten world leaders. He has taken over the world. Would someone read verse four please?

VOICE (OS)

And there went out another horse that was red: And power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; And there was given him a great sword.

LEONARD

This is the opening of the second seal. The rider on the red horse is Mr. Nogard, Director of Government.( writes NOGARD on blackboard, then backwards. DRAGON). Would some one read verse five please?

VOICE (OS)

I beheld, and lo, a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

LEONARD

This is the opening of the third seal. The rider on the black horse is Mr. Tnepres, Director of Economy. (writes TNEPRES on blackboard, then backwards. SERPENT). Would someone read verse eight please?

VOICE (OS)

And behold a pale horse: And his name that sat on him was death.

(123)

LEONARD

This is the opening of the fourth seal. The rider on the pale horse is Mr. Lived, Director of Education. (writes LIVED on blackboard, then backwards. DEVIL). You see that all four of the horsemen of the Apocalypse is the manisfestation of the spirit of Lucifer, dwelling in the physical bodies of these men. On the fifth day we witnessed the coming of the beast prophesied in Revelation 13:1. Would someone please read?

VOICE (OS)

I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head the name of blasphemy.

LEONARD

The beast is, The One World Order. The seven heads are world leaders, five have fallen. Satan is the sixth. There is yet one more to come, which is Christ. The ten horns, are the ten world leaders. The ten crowns is the authority the leaders gave to the hooded figure, the title of Supreme President. On the sixth day we received all the new policies, establishing the Global Village. On the seventh day we witnessed the prophecy of verse three. Would someone please read?

VOICE (OS)

And I saw one of his heads as it was wounded unto death.

LEONARD

The head that was wounded unto death is the assassination of Natas Reficul, that now lays in a glass coffin. That is what has taken place since the hooded figure took over the world. Are there any questions?

As Leonard waited for questions, the light that engulfed his body started to retract back to the cross on the wall. A young man stood.

 MAN

What is that light around your head?

LEONARD

I didn't know there was one, but I think I can explain what you are seeing. Turn to Revelation 7:3 and read along with me. (beat). Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which are sealed: And there were a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. This light is that seal of God. It can only be seen by others that have the seal, but cannot be seen on their own head.

(124)

MAN (OS)

If we can not see the light, does that mean we are not good enough to be his elect?

LEONARD

No, God seals with the mark, those whom he has chosen to be alive and remain in the faith until he returns. There are millions of children of God, but only 144,000 will be sealed. Who, and Why God chooses, I do not know.

VOICE (OS)

Does that mean we are not of God?

LEONARD

No, in Matthew 22:14, God says, many shall be called, but few shall be chosen.

VOICE (OS)

What is the purpose of the elect of God?

LEONARD

The elect are those that fight against the power of Satan during the tribulation. We are to stand fast in the faith, wearing the whole armor of God.

The questions stopped. Leonard closed with a short prayer.

Ray places Annie's hand in Pauls. While Paul repeats his vows, a bright light appears around his head. While Annie repeats her vows, a bright light appears around her head, also. The preacher pronounced them man and wife. They kiss, Pauls whispers (I love you). Annie whispers (I love you).

INT. LIMOUSINE

ANNIE

I don't quite know how to say this Paul, but you are glowing. You have a bright light around your head. I first saw it when you were saying your vows. What does this mean?

PAUL

You have a bright light around your head too. It also appeared when you were saying your vows. Annie, God has chosen one hundred and forty four thousand souls to be his elect. I believe we have been sealed by God, and that He has chosen us to be of His elect.

ANNIE

I don't understand.

PAUL

We are to be among those that are alive and remain in the faith until Christ comes.

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: IF ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE, AND RECEIVE THE MARK IN HIS HAND OR IN HIS FOREHEAD, THE SAME SHALL DRINK OF THE WINE OF WRATH OF GOD, WHICH IS POURED OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE INTO THE CUP OF INDIGNATION; AND HE SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LAMB. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Behold, the image of the beast is being erected as we speak. Beware, he that worships that image shall experience the full measure of God's wrath. He that receives the mark of Satan in his right hand, which is soon to come, shall be tormented in the lake of fire. He that lay in that coffin is not your God, he is Satan, ruler of darkness, and you have been deceived.

Crowds of people became enraged. Pressing through the soldiers and up the stairs to the platform, they were going to attack the two old men. Just as the crowd reached out to grab the two witnesses, bolts of lightning struck the crowd, killing those nearest to the old men. The crowd began running in all directions as lightning filled the skies. Order was regained. The dead bodies were removed. The witnesses sat down on the Temple stairs. All was quiet. Then the witnesses stood.

Sculptors are busy at work, trying to meet the deadline. They still claim that the statue will be ready by 8:00 P.M. Sunday.

 (128)

The I.D. card is on schedule. Mailing starts on Monday. Everyone sixteen and older will receive their card in the mail. When you receive it, you must activate it by putting your right thumb print on the seven headed dragon seal.

The Palace square is ready for the Memorial Service. The platform is built, the red carpet is laid down, and the foundation of the statue is completed.

The transfer route is filled with people and soldiers. Tomorrow at sunrise the coffin will be taken to the Palace Square.

This report just in! There was a disturbance in the Temple Courtyard earlier this evening. The crowd of mourners pushed through the line of soldiers and tried to attack the two old men. Just as they were going to grab them, lightning struck the crowd, killing many. The final count has not yet been determined, but it will be in the hundreds. Perhaps now the people will leave the two witnesses alone. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, until next time.

EXT. PALACE SQUARE SUNRISE SUNDAY ISRAEL

As the sun rises up over the mountains in Jerusalem, a huge shadow of the covered statue is cast across the Palace Square.

EXT. TEMPLE COURTYARD SUNRISE SUNDAY ISRAEL

The transfer procession begins the slow, but steady pace toward the Palace Square. The coffin rests upon a golden carriage that is drawn by four white horses, followed by the Global Village Officials, and the ten world leaders. As the coffin is leaving the Temple Courtyard the sound of the voices of the two witnesses are heard.

WITNESSES (VO)

Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the prophecy of God. IT IS WRITTEN: AND HE CAUSETH ALL, BOTH SMALL AND GREAT, RICH AND POOR, FREE AND BOND, TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS: AND THAT NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL, SAVE HE THAT HAD THE MARK OR THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME. HERE IS WISDOM. LET HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST; FOR IT IS THE NUMBER OF A MAN. ANDHIS NUMBER IS SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX. Ye children of Jerusalem, hearken unto the word of the Lord. Ye that hath ears, let him hear. Ye foolish city of Jerusalem, ye mourn for this man that would steal your soul and promise you the world, but give you nothing. Beware, it is he, Natas Reficul, that causes you to receive a mark in your right hand, and unless you have this mark, you cannot buy nor sell. It is he that will control your lives as he sees fit. Oh, ye foolish generation, if thou had only listened unto the Lord, he would have gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks. Ye stiff-necked and foolish generation, ye shall go down into the lake of fire with Satan.

INT. LEONARD'S HOUSE BEDROOM MORNING MONDAY U.S.

Leonard was awakened by the feeling of a presence in the room. He expected to see the figure in the bright light at the foot of his bed. Instead he saw Jenny sitting up in bed, with a big smile, and tears flowing down her face.

LEONARD

Are you alright, honey?

JENNY

Oh yes, I'm just fine.

LEONARD

Then why are you crying?

JENNY

I suddenly woke up, and there at the foot of the bed, was a figure in a bright light saying, "FEED MY SHEEP," then it turned and walked through the door. I felt a strange warmth and comfort that I have never felt before. Crazy, but I feel as if I have been in the presence of the Lord.

LEONARD

It's not crazy, Jenny. I too, have seen the same figure in the bright light. It was when I was in the hospital. God had healed me, and I began to walk again.

JENNY

Then it wasn't just a nice dream, was it?

LEONARD

No Jenny, you have been sealed by God.

JENNY

Oh, Leonard, I can see your light. Does that mean that God has chosen me?

(130)

LEONARD

Yes, Jenny and you look so beautiful with the glow of God around your head.

JENNY

What a joy it is to be a child of God!

INT. FLAMINGO HOTEL HONEYMOON SUITE MORNING MONDAY U.S.

Paul was awakened by the sound of a voice calling his name. He sits up and there at the foot of the bed stood a figure in a bright light.

FIGURE

Paul, do not activate the I.D. card. The mark of Satan is hidden in the seal. Go home. You will find the solution there.

Paul did not speak. The figure turned and walked through the door. Paul wakes Annie.

PAUL

Annie, wake up we have to go home.

ANNIE

What's wrong Paul?

PAUL

You may not believe me, but a figure in a bright light just visited me, and said I was not to activate the I. D. card. Satan's mark is hidden in the seal, and I would find the solution at home.

ANNIE

I believe you Paul. The same figure visited me yesterday morning saying "FEED MY SHEEP." We had better get ready and go. What are we going to tell Ray and Julie?

PAUL

The truth. You go tell Julie, and I'll tell Ray.

They packed their bags and went to tell Julie and Ray.

INT. JULIE'S ROOM

Knock on door. Julie opens door.

Julie.

Annie, what's wrong? Where is Paul?

ANNIE

Everything is just fine. I have to tell you something that you might not believe.

(131)

She tells Julie of the visions she and Paul have had, and about the I. D. card, and that they had to go home now.

JULIE

Wow! What a story! Maybe I'm crazy Annie, but I believe you. I'll pack my things and be ready in a couple of minutes. Have you told Ray yet?

ANNIE

Paul is doing that now.

INT. RAY'S ROOM

Knock on the door. Ray opens the door.

RAY

What's wrong Paul? Where's Annie?

PAUL

Everything is just fine, but I have something to tell you that you might not believe. I have just been visited by a messenger of God. He told me not to activate the I.D. Card, that it had the mark of Satan hidden in the seal. I have to go home. The solution is there.

RAY

Well Paul, I know about the hidden mark in the seal, but I don't know if that is Satan or not. I have to believe you, because no one else knows about it, but me and the Senator. That's what I learned in the bar yesterday.

PAUL

We should leave right away.

RAY

I'll pack my things. Have you got a flight out? Does Julie know about this?

PAUL

No, I haven't arranged for a flight as yet. Annie is telling Julie now.

Ray finished packing. Dialed a number on his cell phone.

RAY

This is Ray Brooks. Clearance card number 3364, class two. I need a plane ready in thirty minutes, and send a limousine to the Flamingo Hotel to pick me up. All set Paul, let's go.

(132)

They met the girls in the elevator. They went to the lobby, paid their bill. The limousine arrives. Everyone gets in the limo. The driver puts their luggage in the trunk, and drives off.

INT. ROOMING HOUSE PROFESSOR'S ROOM AFTERNOON MONDAY U. S.

Professor Williams is a retired Chemistry teacher. He is having difficulty with the hard rubber molds he uses to make plaster of Paris figures. They crack and brake after a few uses. He is trying to formulate a new thinner synthetic film to make new molds with. He had studied all night, but could not find the proper mixture. He fell asleep reading his manuals. Something startled him. He woke up knocking his glasses off his face. There in front of him stood a figure in a bright light.

FIGURE

Fear not. The solution you seek is four parts polymers to one part baking soda. Give this formula to Paul. It is what he seeks.

The figure turned and walked through the door. The Professor sat there in a daze, then he jumped up and spoke aloud.

PROFESSOR

Yes, that's it! Why didn't I think of it?

He went to his work table and mixed the formula adding the polymers and baking soda. It would take an hour before it cured enough to test it.

EXT. LONG BEACH CALIF. AIRPORT AFTERNOON MONDAY U.S.

A limousine was waiting for Ray when they landed.

RAY

Where to Paul?

PAUL

I have to pick up my car in the parking lot. Second level, section A.

RAY

Okay driver, section A please.

They transferred everything into Paul's car. Ray dismissed the driver.

JULIE

Is anyone hungry? It's almost one o'clock.

(133)

PAUL

We'll eat lunch at the rooming house. Is that alright with everyone? They always serve lunch at one thirty.

Everyone agreed. Paul drove to the rooming house. Opened the door, and they went in.

INT. ROOMING HOUSE AFTERNOON MONDAY U.S.

PAUL

Ray, you and Julie wait in the living room. I don't want to shock these people. They don't know I have a brother, much less a twin.

RAY

Okay, Paul. I understand.

Paul and Annie entered the dining room just as they all were sitting down to lunch.

PAUL

Hello everyone, I've got an announcement to make. Annie and I were married yesterday.

EMMA

Well, congratulations! Come in. Please join us for lunch.

PAUL

I also have a surprise for you. Annie would you get Ray for me?

Annie goes to the living room and comes back with Ray and Julie. They all are amazed at Paul, having a twin brother. After introductions, they all sat down to eat.

PAUL

Where is the Professor? Is he alright?

JOHN

He is probably still asleep. He was up all night working on his new formula for his molds.

PAUL

Well, I'll go check on him. Come with me Ray.

They go down the hall to the Professor's room.

INT. PROFESSORS ROOM

Knock on the door.

(134)

PROFESSOR

Come in.

PAUL

Hello, Professor. Are you alright? We missed you at lunch.

Ray and Paul stood in the door way.

PROFESSOR

Am I seeing double? Glasses must be getting old. Is that you Paul?

PAUL

yes, it's me. You are not seeing double. This is my brother Ray.

PROFESSOR

Nice to meet you young feller. Am I glad to see you Paul. Strange things are going on around here.

PAUL

Oh, what kind of things?

PROFESSOR

You know I have been working on my new synthetic film for my molds. Well, I studied all night and couldn't find the answer. I fell asleep in my chair, and suddenly, there in front of me was a figure in a bright light. He told me what I needed to complete my formula, and he also said that I should give this formula to you. He said, it was what you were looking for. Does that make any sense to you? It sure don't to me.

PAUL

Yes, it makes sense to me. That's why I'm here. Where is this new formula?

PROFESSOR

Right here on the table. (Paul picks up a quart jar) Be careful not to get any on your skin, it's hard to get off.

PAUL

What do you mean, it's hard to get off?

PROFESSOR

I got some on my finger. I tried soap and water,turpentine, and alcohol, but nothing happened. I had to cut it off. I even put some in a dish of sulfuric acid, but it didn't touch it.

 (135)

PAUL

Let's dip our thumbs in it Ray, and test it.

Paul and Ray dipped their thumbs into the milky white solution, and were amazed when it dried transparently. Then they tested for a thumb print.

RAY

Well, I'll be damned!

PAUL

This is the answer to the I.D. Card. Once we apply this to our thumb, then we can activate the I. D. card and not worry about the mark of Satan.

PROFESSOR

What are you two talking about?

PAUL

Come on, let's go to lunch, and I'll explain everything.

INT. DINING ROOM

Paul explains about the new synthetic film that will protect them from the mark of Satan in the seal, of the I. D. card.

PAUL

May I have everyone's attention, please? Listen very carefully! We will be getting an I.D. Card in the mail, any day now. The Economy Dept. would have you believe that it is nothing more than a regular I.D. card. The truth is, by activating this card, you will be putting the mark of Satan into your thumb. The Professor has a formula that will protect us from this mark. Here is the formula. I want each of you to dip your right thumb into this liquid. When it dries, it will feel like glue, but it won't hurt you. Under no circumstances are you to remove it, or tell anyone about it, outside of this room!

EXT. PALACE SQUARE EVENING SUNDAY ISRAEL

ELBIB

Good evening. This is Elbib Ehtdrow, reporting from the Palace Square, in Jerusalem. This is The Global City News 'Special Report' of the dedication and Memorial Services of Natas Reficul, the Supreme President.

(136)

RED CARPET.

The Pope's procession.

ELBIB (OS)

There are six Cardinals in front of the Pope, and six behind him. It is quite a sight to see. The Cardinals are dressed in red and white robes, and Their headpieces are red with gold tassels. The Pope is dressed in a white robe, trimmed with gold, and his headpiece is also white, trimmed with gold. The Pope is blessing the crowds of people, as he passes them. Next, are Natas' dignitaries. Then there are the ten world leader's. They are all proceeding along the red carpet, leading up to the platform, that is on the same level as the coffin. The Pope is now at the pulpit, and appears to be a bit nervous. With everyone in his place, the Pope raises his hands to quell the chanting crowd.

PLATFORM.

 POPE

It is with great pleasure that I dedicate this statue in loving memory of our Supreme President, Natas Reficul!

PALACE SQUARE.

ELBIB (OS)

The Pope is pulling the cord to reveal the statue, and nothing is happening. A bolt of lightning has struck the cord, severing it. The Pope is praying out loud.

PLATFORM.

Pope

Oh heavenly Father, we humbly worship the image of our God. Send down fire, and unveil this statue!

PALACE SQUARE.

ELBIB (OS)

The crowd of people are shouting and pointing to the fire coming down from the sky. A huge fire ball has hit the statue, breaking up into smaller balls of fire, and falling to the ground at the base of the statue. Now, the fire is slowly burning upwards to the canvas covering. This is awesome! It's like God has answered the Pope's prayer. The fire balls are coming down from the sky, faster and faster, and the flames are reaching higher and higher up the canvas covering.And there it is folks, a beautiful golden statue!

(137)

A bolt of lightning has lit up the Square, casting a large shadow of a cross down over the coffin and the people. The fire is still raining down, but is falling only on the coffin, melting the glass cover. Some of the fire is falling on Natas, and I can't believe what I'm seeing. It is healing his stab wound! The Pope is shouting something.

PLATFORM.

POPE

NATAS REFICUL, COME FORTH OUT OF THE WORLD OF DARKNESS AND BACK INTO THE LIGHT OF LIFE!

PALACE SQUARE.

ELBIB (OS)

What is the Pope doing? Fire is still coming down melting the golden table, forming pools of liquid gold around each leg. Fire is burning all around Natas' body, but not burning him. How can this be? The Pope is shouting something, again.

PLATFORM.

Pope

NATAS REFICUL, COME UNTO ME. COME FORTH OUT OF THE COFFIN. COME!

PALACE SQUARE.

ELBIB (OS)

I don't know what to think. It's like the Pope is trying to bring Natas back to life. The crowd is praising Natas, saying, Praise Natas! Praise Natas! Now they are crying out, Rise Natas! Rise Natas! Here comes another bolt of lightning! It has hit Natas' heart, and his body is jerking! Now a big clap of thunder. The fire has suddenly gone out. Everything is so quiet. The beautiful glass coffin that sat on a golden table, has been reduced to a pile of rubble, and now smoldering in the cool night air. The body of Natas Reficul is gone! The people are chanting, NATAS HAS RISEN! NATAS lIVES! Over and over again. I don't believe it! The smoke is clearing away, and along with everyone else, I can see the hooded figure standing amidst all that rubble. I guess Natas Reficul lives, again! This is Elbib Ehtdrow till next time.

PALACE STAIRS

WITNESSES (unison)

Ye children of Jerusalem hearken unto the prophecy of God. Satan and his angels of darkness are now preparing the world for the war against the saints  of the most high God. Behold, DEATH, DESTRUCTION, AND DECEPTION live on in the lives of those who witness the last 1,250 days of human existence. This is the beginning of the end. Watch for the fulfillment of God's prophecy. We have yet to experience the opening of the last three seals, the seven trumpets, the three woes, and seven vials of wrath. Then comes the end to those who have the mark of the beast in their right hand, and the beginning to those that have the seal of God. Ye generation of vipers, have we not told you so? Pray that it comes quickly

(138)

THE END

The camera pans the Palace Square. As the credits roll up, the people are worshipping the statue of Natas Reficul. The two witnesses can be seen standing on the Palace steps, then the screen goes black
