- "The Five-Day Crucifixion" is a supernatural drama about John Santo's "life and death" struggle with Satan that casts doubt on his faith in God. John's resolve continues to waver when he is tempted by the love of a beautiful woman only to find out that his surroundings are not what they appear to be. In a battlefield of lies, deceit, and violence, Satan's persuasive power to seduce John's soul is galvanized when John's daughter is thrust in the middle of their spiritual war. "Follow me John, and renounce God or your daughter will die" is Satan's ultimatum. With his child's life and his soul on the line, John must either use the power at his disposal to defeat Satan or surrender his soul to evil in exchange for saving his daughter's life.—Salvatore A. Bono
- THE FIVE DAY CRUCIFIXION
Treatment Written by
Salvatore A. Bono
Logline: A supernatural experience with Jesus Christ sends John Santo on a mission to save a fallen minister from Satan's control; however, a beautiful woman's love clouds John's purpose. Shrouded in fear and defenseless, John desperately bargains with Satan to save his daughter's life.
John Santo, 42, is driving down an Arizona highway, when a cell phone sitting on the passenger seat rings. John looks down, and reaches over the seat and picks up the phone. Suddenly, the car in front of him slams on its brakes. John hits his brakes, but the car in front of him grows in size -- just before everything goes, black.
Daytime in a desert, John is lying down in a GULLY. He opens his eyes, and slowly gets up. Where am I? How did I get here? John walks toward a hillside, stops -- looks up at a hilltop. He sees a ROBED MAN standing at the hilltop, his arms spread -- wide.
Hey! Will you help me?! John shouts.
The Robed Man waves at John to come up to the hill.
John climbs up a trail leading to the Robed Man when: MOSHE, a ragged, ROBED MAN in his 60s, jumps out from behind the bushes and blocks Johns way, grabbing him. You arent worthy to receive him! Moshe snaps.
Hey, let go of me! John protests.
Moshe and John WRESTLE -- Moshe hits John, knocking him down. John, on his knees, shakes off the blow. Moshe stands over John, shaking an admonishing finger at him.
Moshe blasts, Your sin will reap a just wrath!
John, jumps to his feet -- takes a step back. Deceptively fast, Moshe grabs Johns arm.
What have I done to you, old man? Asked, John.
My name is, Moshe.
Look, my name is John Santo. And...
Silence! You are not worthy.
Worthy of what? John snaps a look at the Robed Man atop the hill, GASPS at his epiphany. The Robed Man is close to six feet tall. His long, chestnut brown hair barely touches his shoulders, his short beard matches his hair -- a slender physique.
Thats... Jesus Christ! John, exclaimed.
Moshe COCKS his fist back, readies to strike John. Do not take the Lords name in vain!
Oh, Ive had enough of you. John handles Moshe, gently helping him to the ground. Forgive me, but Ive got to see Him.
Sitting on the ground, Moshe shoots a disgusted look at John. You are still not worthy!
John runs up the hill until he comes FACE TO FACE with: JESUS CHRIST. John trembling with euphoria, drops to his knees. Oh Jesus, did I die? Is this Heaven?
Jesus smiles, helps John to his feet. No John, this isnt Heaven. Its not your time yet.
Then why am I here with you?
Youve been given a second chance at life again.
Johns shoulders sink with disappointment. Oh Lord, please dont send me back. Jesus holds Johns shoulders. Hear me out. God has bestowed a great honor upon you. John looks around, scanning the surroundings.
Where am I? John asked.
A place to learn about your mission. You must save a fallen minister from Satans control.
Please, Lord. I dont want to go back. I cant go back.
Jesus turns away, walks on the path leading down the hill. You havent heard about the mission yet.
John bows his head, embarrassed, and then looks up at Jesus. Forgive me. Jesus CHUCKLES, Ha ha. Now, thats what this is all about, isnt it? Come with me.
Jesus and John, walking on the path leading down the hill. The desert surroundings instantly change into: SPRINGTIME -- A GRASSY FIELD WITH A POND.
Jesus and John are standing on grass. I dream about this place all the time! John said.
They stand on the shore of a crystal clear pond. A variety of plants surround the water. Jesus picks up a stone on the edge of the shoreline, and SKIPS it across the pond. When you wake up, you will meet a Satan worshipper named Sonny Romeo. Hes world renown. John chimes.
Jesus picks up another stone, skipping it across the pond. You must try and save him from eternal death.
Whoa, hes a pretty evil guy. Is really he worth it? John, everyone deserves a that chance, even him. What if I fail?
Jesus dips his hands into the pond, and then rubs them together. Satan's weapon of choice is fear. Remain faithful, and the Holy Spirit will protect you.
John stares off into the pond, in deep thought. You make it sound easy. When youre finished, then you'll come home to us. Jesus stands up, putting his hand on Johns shoulder.
John stretches his arms out wide, and YAWNS. Im so sleepy. John closes his eyes, nods off. Jesus leans into Johns ear. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you."
***
John is lying in a hospital bed. ANGELA SANTO, 9, brown hair, bright brown eyes and a beaming smile -- shakes John.
Daddy, please wake up.
John stirs in bed, slowly awakening. Angela!
Angela is sitting on the bed, nestles against John. When are you coming home?
I dont know yet. I havent spoken to the doctor. ROSA DOLORE, 40s, athletic physique, short brown hair, natural looking, standing with her arms crossed over her chest. Probably a couple more days. Because, aside from old age, you have a concussion.
Very funny.
Rosa rolls her eyes. So much for your sense of humor.
I have a migraine. Do you mind?
The hospital called and thought I was still your wife, and asked me to come here.
Thanks for showing up. John, you almost got killed! John tries sitting up, his body wont move.
We were so worried about you, Daddy.
John caresses Angelas hair, and smiles.
Rosas expression is curious, walks over to Johns bedside. John, whats going on here?
What do you mean? A faint yellow AURA appears around Johns body. Youre body, its... glowing. Rosa said.
Angela sits up, and GIGGLES. Wow! Youre warm.
John examines his glowing hands. While I was unconscious, I met Jesus. He gave me a mission. I guess this is part of it.
Have you always glowed, Daddy?
No sweetie. The Holy Spirit, Gods presence and spiritual power is her to protect me on my mission.
Rosa takes a step back -- her hands on her hips. Really, John?
Yes. Of course.
Angela hops off Johns bed. The Holy Spirit is part of you now?
Yes, Angela. John said.
You know, when I say my prayers at night, my body shines. Sometimes angels visit me, too.
Startled, John rolls out of bed. He loses his balance, then steadies himself on the bed -- gets dressed.
John, what are you doing?
Did you hear what she said? You're in no condition to leave.
John kneels down next to Angela. Has Jesus told you why you're blessed with the Holy Spirit. Angela's eyes search for an answer. No. But, Ive had this blessing inside me since I was a baby. Why didnt Jesus tell me? John said to himself.
I see other things too.
Like what? Whenever Mommys man friends come over our house, I cant see their eyes. Theyre black holes.
John shoots a disgusted look at Rosa.
Rosa pulls Angela away. Enough of this nonsense! John struggling to his feet, wipes the sweat from his head. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Her face burns with contempt. Don't pass judgment on me John Santo! Your track record of female conquests leaves you no room to throw stones at me.
He pries Angela from her. Maybe, but I've never exposed Angela to any of those women.
Rosa looks up, mockingly raises her hands toward the ceiling. Lo and behold, God works in mysterious ways.
Angela comes between them. Please don't fight!
John and Rosa exchanged embarrassed looks. John finishes getting dressed.
So, what are you going to do now?
Start on my mission.
And that is?
To find Pastor Sonny Romeo, and try to save him from Satans control.
Rosa shakes her head. Huh, only one pastor? God gave you an easy mission.
John leans over, kisses Angela on her forehead. I love you, Angela.
I love you, Daddy.
John loosely hugs Rosa, and then walks out of the room. ***
John is sitting outside the main entrance of ST. THERESAS CHURCH. Hes on a bench with his head in his hands, dejected.
Hey, are you all right? A sweet melodic voice asks.
John looks up and sees, CALLIOPE, early 30s -- petite, has jet-black hair in a loose ponytail, olive skin complexion, and green eyes -- shes FLAWLESS.
Oh, ah, I'm fine.
Calliope sits down next to him. Uh huh.
John extends his hand. Im John Santo. And you are?
I'm Calliope Nera. Parla Italiano?" (Do you speak Italian?)
They shake hands. Johns eyebrows arch, surprised -- hes drawn to her.
Si, un poco. (Yes, a little.) John said.
Chiamato dopo San Giovanni, giusto? (Named after Saint John, right?)
John smiles. Saint John or John the Baptist. Take your pick.
Calliope bats an eyelash at him. Such a boring name.
Ah, but it does grow on you.
Actually, John, seeing you sit here made me realize that I need to help you on your mission. Johns posture stiffens. What did you say?
Calliope places her hand on Johns cheek. Im here to help you find Sonny.
***
John and Calliope are driving down Arizona Street. Calliope, is reading through a pamphlet. Sonny Romeo is booked in Phoenix. Rumor has it that prior to a show, he randomly visits an unsavory bar, and ministers to the patrons.
John glances over at her. Material for his sermon, huh? Calliope, looking out her window, recognizes a building. Over there. Lets try that place! Theyre approaching a street corner. A BLACK BUILDING with no windows -- NO QUARTER -- the most violent biker bar in Phoenix. A neon SIGN hangs on the building: flashing a red "HELLO" with the letter "O" conspicuously burned out.
Wow, what a dump. John quips.
Calliope looks at John with her infectious green eyes. What better place to start? John SIGHS. I suppose you're right.
John pulls into the parking lot, and parks the car.
Calliope looks out her window, staring at the club. Her eyes shining with enthusiasm. Well be fine, John.
John, pauses for a second. Sure. Lets go check it out.
***
John and Calliope walk inside the Biker Bar -- THE MUSIC STOPS. The club is packed with BIKERS. Everyone stares at them with contempt. The Bikers surround John and Calliope. A LONE BIKER, JESSE, tall and burly, 30s, an intimidating presence. His nose is distorted, has been broken several times. He reaches past the Bikers, grabbing a hold of John.
Who do you think you are?! Jesse barks.
John pushes Jesse away. Get your hands off me!
Hey! The sermon is on! A random biker, shouts.
A FLAT-SCREEN TV above the bar is playing a televangelist program. SONNY ROMEO, 30s, has a pale complexion, heavyset. Hes dressed in a white suit. Sonny is holding a BIBLE above his head. Its been said that The Messiah will come again to save the world, and purge all sin from our lives. Stop a moment and ask yourselves, what does that mean to me?
Sonny leans into the TV screen. Absolutely nothing!
The BIKERS CHEER at Sonnys sermon.
John is standing at the bar. Hes lying to you!
Why are you here, Christ lover? Jesse, asks.
Im here to save Sonny.
Jesse grabs John by the shirt collar, pulling him closer. Oh yeah, and whos gonna to save you?! FLAT-SCREEN TV shows a CLOSE UP of Sonnys face. Follow me! Follow me! Praise Satan!
Jesse grabs a hold of John, and then pushes him toward the exit, and through the door. John falls through the exit door, and onto the ground. Jesse stands in the doorway.
Hes all yours. Jesse said.
John is on one knee, shooting a perplexed look at Jesse. John turns around and sees: CALLIOPE standing over him. How did you get out here?"
John, I'm bored with this charade. Lets cut to the chase, shall we?
John gets up. Hes trembling over his epiphany.Oh no! Not you!
Calliopes eyes become red, TRANSFORMING INTO: SATAN
Coming on to you played on your weakness for companionship. You are pathetically predictable. She seductively stares at John, moving closer to him. You belong to me now.
I dont belong to a loser.
Im not a loser! Satan screams. She raises a hand -- an invisible force knocks John down. She mockingly shoots a look of approval at John. You know how to work a lady. You really need to join me.
John gets up. In hell? No thanks. And once I reach Sonny, Ill convince him to shed his skin of evil.
All right, learn the hard way. You have no chance. I will own you.
John rubs a crucifix hanging from his neck for reassurance. Jesus says otherwise.
If you say so. By the way, Sonny is waiting for you at the Religious Studies Institute. Satan blows him a kiss, then vanishes into the air.
John turns his attention to the parking lot, and thoughtfully says, I need to get to Phoenix.
***
John is driving down Interstate-10, staring down the highway, light traffic, hes preoccupied. John rubs his temple, trying to ease a lingering headache.
Why was she so keen on telling me where to find Sonny?
***
John pulls up to The Religious Studies Institute, a modern building complex taking up half the block. The area is deserted. He looks out the drivers side window. From across the street, THE SOUND OF SCREECHING TIRES FILLS THE AIR -- a limousine speeds toward Johns car. John jumps out of the car, lands on the pavement. The limo locks its brakes, stopping short of hitting John.
Two LARGE, BRUISING MEN in their 30s, in dark suits, jump out of the limo and restrain John. They throw him into the limos back seat -- across from Sonny Romeo whos sitting between Rosa and Angela.
Weve been expecting you, said Sonny Romeo.
John shakes his head clear. His eyes widen seeing Rosa and Angela.
Rosa, why are you and Angela here?
Rosas emotionless.
Rosa! Easy John. Theyre my guests.
Sonny abruptly places Angela on his lap.
Let her go.
We picked them up at the hospital. Once I convinced her that I was an old friend of yours, I flashed a roll of cash at her and... well, gave her some... attention.
Johns icy stare makes Rosa bow her head in shame.
Rosa, why this degenerate?
Sonny scowls. Be nice.
John POUNDS his fist on his thigh. Answer me!
Hey man, shes guilt stricken. Besides, she's mine now. Sonny declares.
John extends his arms out to his daughter. Angela, come to Daddy.
Daddy, this mans eyes are black. Hes burned all over, too. We still need to try and save him. John said.
Sonny LAUGHS, BOISTEROUSLY. Ive already been saved. Instant gratification, power, money... I love it!
Then, why kidnap my family?
For persuasion. And here it is, you must openly reject Christ and follow Satan. Join us. John leans forward, wearing a mischievous smile.
Kidnapping can be a very hot experience.
Angela's skin flushes with a faint yellow luminescence, then glows, brightly. Sonny squirms with her on his lap. What's happening?
She saying that she doesnt like you.
No, I won't let you go!
Oh, I think you should. Her body temperature is rising to a point where you'll soon combust. John warns.
Sonny quickly releases Angela. Okay, enough!
Angela breaks away from Sonny, and runs over to John -- hugs him, her power recedes.
Sonny quickly jumps on top of them, wrestles with John. They belong to me!
Rosa jumps on Sonnys back, pulling on his collar, hes GASPING. Leave my daughter alone!
The limo abruptly pulls over to the side of the road.
Sonny, is clenching at his throat. You made... a big... mistake.
The Bodyguards try opening the doors, theyre locked. Sonny! What's going on in there?!
Sonny pushes Rosa away. He pulls a pistol out of his coat, sticks it into Rosas ribs. I... dont need you anymore!
No, Sonny! Dont! John chops Sonnys forearm.
The gun BLASTS Rosa in the torso -- she collapses.
ANGELA IS WAILING.
In a fit of rage, John lunges at Sonny -- is choking him. Let's see you preach your way out of this mess!
Sonny struggles, then he goes LIMP -- John releases him.
The door swings open, a set of powerful hands reach through, yanking John out the limo. A bodyguard slams John against the limo, the other points a gun in his face.
Dont move, and no Holy Spirit heroics, Johnny. Satan warns.
John looks past the guards, sees Satan standing at the curb-side -- dressed in a skin-tight black leather jumpsuit.
Both of you gorillas, get lost.
The bodyguards abruptly leave the area.
Satan walks over to the limo, sticks her head through the open door, assessing the carnage. Ah, now this is my kind of party. Its too bad that Rosa won't be joining us for the rest of her life.
Angela SOBS while hugging her moms limp body.
Satan backs out of the limo with an irritated expression. Calm her down or I'll shut her up for you.
John climbs back in the limo, hugs Angela. I'm sorry, baby. This is my fault.
Angela's breaths are short and rapid. Its not... your fault, Daddy.
Satan climbs back into the limo. Oh, please excuse me. I have to attend to some unfinished business. Satan kneels down next to Sonny, lays her hand on his head. Sonnys eyes are blank.
Sonny manages to spit out, Master, help me.
My poor Sonny. You screwed up. Instead of recruiting John, you decided to have an affair with his ex-wife and take his daughter. Satan caresses Sonnys face. Sonny COUGHS.
I beg you, please let me live.
You were supposed to make him an ally, not strengthen his resolve. You disappoint me, and we all know what that means. Sonnys eyes grow wider, his breathing obstructed. Satan places her hand on Sonny's chest. Youre done.
Sonny takes his last LABORED BREATH -- goes limp.
Satan puts her hand up to her mouth, and GIGGLES.
So, you had to kill him? John asked.
Satan puts her hands up in denial. Hey, you're the one who messed up his throat. I only put him out of his misery.
I need to get Angela outside. Of course. By all means. Satan makes her way to the door, opens it for them.
Satan steps out of the limo, Angela and John follow. All three stand in front of the church.
So, were back where we first met?
What if I said that your every dream and desire can come true? Follow me and Ill reward you with a life in paradise on Earth.
Yeah, right. Just like you promised Sonny?
He was greedy! Youre different. Yeah, until I disappoint you.
Satan walks up to John and Angela, and affectionately caresses Angelas hair. If it's a miracle you want, then I can give Rosa back to both of you.
Angela swats Satans hand away. She's lying! Only God and Jesus have the power to raise the dead.
Satan shoots an annoyed look at Angela. She backs them closer to the church doors.
Lets see if this changes your mind. Satan touches Johns temple, both he and Angela fall to the ground -- John is unconscious. SUDDENLY, John is floating in a DIMENSIONLESS EXPANSE filled with water. He panics -- looking in all directions, but sees no defining barriers. His heart pounding with fear, razor sharp pain stabs his chest as his lungs scream for air. Unable to hold his breath, John SCREAMS under water, Oh my God, please help me!
Air rushes out of his nostrils and mouth -- his body thrashing about.
John, can you hear me? A faint female voice, echoes in Johns mind.
Rosa... is that you? John replies, mentally.
Do you want to be saved? The faint female voice, replies in Johns mind.
Save me... please. Ill do anything. John replies, mentally.
***
Outside of ST. THERESAS CHURCH, the church bell RINGS FIVE TIMES. From Johns perspective, he sees Angela kneeling over him, PRAYING. Satan eerily looks directly at John, pointing at him.
Youre soul is mine!
On his back, John wakes up -- COUGHING. "What happened?"
Satan stands over John.
Dont play me, John. You gave up.
John sits up, rubbing his head -- his eyebrows arched. I... I did not.
Save me, please. Ill do anything. That's a capitulation."
In front of the church doors, Angela helps John to his feet. Satan walks toward them.
Come on. Lets consummate our contract in the church.
Johns balance is uneasy, hes struggling to stand.
Youre no woman. Youre a wretched, carnal beast!
Satan places her hand on Johns chest -- an invisible force knocks him against the doors, he falls to the ground.
Daddy! Angela kneels next to John. Satan does the same.
Denounce your faith. Do it now! Satan demands.
John is sprawled out on the ground. Go to hell.
When I kill your daughter, your spirit will be broken. You'll hate both God and Jesus with a passion only rivaled by my own.
John tries to get up, and then collapses on the ground again. No!
You are making me do this! Satan places her hand on Angela's head. Goodbye, child.
Angela places her white-hot hands on Satans waist. A bright light -- power passes through Satans body -- she spasms. THE CRACKLING OF STATIC ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR IS DEAFENING -- A CLAP OF THUNDER, BOOMS.
Where, O death is your victory? Where O death is your sting? Said, Angela.
Paralyzed, Satan is statuesque, unable to speak or move.
Angelas AURA fades away, she kneels down -- helps John up. Hurry. We have to get into the church before she can move again. John gets up, staggers toward the entrance with Angela -- her AURA fades away.
What happened? John, asked.
When the Holy Spirit hit her, she got very sick.
They push open the doors to the churchy, find a vessel of holy water, and dip their fingers in, and then make the sign of the cross on themselves. They walk through another set of wooden doors in the MAIN CHURCH, there are several rows of pews, and an altar is centered on a wall DISPLAYING A: THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOSAIC of Jesus, dressed in a white robe with a purple sash around his waist.
With Angela in tow, John runs to the altar, staring up at the mosaic of Jesus.
Whats wrong with me? I cant fight her off any more! John said under his breath.
I just prayed about how I will torture you. Satan is kneeling, her head bowed in a pew behind them.
John spins around, looks for a way to escape.
Oh, Im here Johnny. In here. I am everywhere!
Angela pulls on Johns arm. Daddy, whats wrong?
Stand by the mosaic and out of the way. I cant protect us anymore.
But, she cant hurt me.
Satan stalks John like a predator, climbing on the altar. She lies down on her side, and looks up at the mosaic of Jesus, and YAWNS.
Johnny, think about the infinite ecstasies that God places off-limits for human beings. You know what you have to do. So climb up here and lets get started?
Youre giving women a bad name. Satan CHUCKLES. Yeah, I get that a lot.
She hops off the altar, and walks over to John. She grabs him by the neck, and slaps his face, insultingly.
Leave him alone!
Johns legs give way, Satans grip keeps him from falling.
I'll give you what you want, just let Angela go.
Satan switches her grip to Johns hair, his face contorts. She pulls his face against hers, and plants a kiss on his quivering lips. Oh, youre so scared, Johnny.
She runs her fingers across Johns tear soaked face, and then licks her finger tips. Ah, the sweet taste of cowardice. Hes not a coward!
Satan ignores Angela. Evidently, Jesus abandoned you. Therefore, my terms have changed. Now, I want your daughter, not you.
You cant have her!
SUDDENLY, the doors to the main church BURST OPEN, revealing: MOSHE. You are still not worthy of Him!
Startled, everyone turns toward the doorway shaking an admonishing finger at John.
Satan DROPS John to the floor -- she walks to the altar, leans on it, rests her chin on her folded hands. Old man, youre the victim of a sick joke from above. You cant remove me from here.
Moshe walks to the altar. Your actions are accountable.
You are Jesus puppet. A messenger boy. No threat.
The Lord has sent me to convey otherwise.
Satan waves a dismissive hand -- unimpressed.
John regains some of his composure, and gets up. Moshe?
Focused on Satan, Moshe ignores John. Your torment is at an end.
With cat-like agility, Satan climbs across the altar, sitting in front of Moshe.
What Holy incantation do you intend to pompously recite, warning me of epic biblical punishments for my actions?
Take care, for the wrath of God hangs over you in judgment. Moshe warns.
Satan moves closer to Moshe, and places her hands on his skull. She squeezes. You waste my time old man.
Moshe slaps her so violently that shes thrown off the altar, and lands with a resounding THUD. Moshe quickly kneels down next to Satan, pulling out a small vile of Holy Olive Oil. John and Angela move next to Moshe, watching him.
Moshe, is it really you?
Yes. The Lord sent me to help you and your child.
How did you knock her out? I thought Satan is impervious to physical pain? John asked.
Moshe pours some Olive Oil in his hands, and rubs them together, vigorously. The Lords power comes from the spiritual realm. In reality, there was no physical exchange. Slapping Satan was symbolic.
Everything seemed physical to me.
I need to act quickly. Moshe said.
They all bow their heads in prayer. Moshe closes his eyes, places his right hand on Satan's forehead, extends his left hand toward the mosaic of Jesus and PRAYS:
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
Satan MOANS LOUDLY, and then regains consciousness. Convulsing, and foaming at the mouth. Moshe pushes his hand down harder, on Satans forehead.
This is my world! Screams Satan.
And these are God's children! In the name of Jesus Christ, I order you to depart this house of God and never return!
Satans body fades away in a fog-like mist.
John reaches over, touching Moshes shoulder. Moshe, how is this possible?
I was sent here to break Satan's oppression on you and Angela.
Angela holds on to John, leaning up against him. I was no match for Satan.
Jesus promised that he'd never leave your side, yet you gave up on your faith when you faced evil!
Now, wait a minute! I didn't... John protests.
Moshe holds a finger up to his lips. Quiet!
John scowls at the admonishment.
Daddy, when Satan was trying to hurt us you tried keeping me safe. I couldnt let her hurt you. Being scared broke your connection with the Holy Spirit. Angela said.
Youre child is wise.
Did I misunderstand why I was trying to save Sonny Romeo?
Moshe walks up to the mosaic of Jesus, touches it. This is not about Sonny Romeo. A lack of faith is what hurt you.
So, what now?
The Lord feels that you have much more to learn, and must remain here. Moshe walks over to Angela, kneels down, hugs and kisses her. Then he stands up. In order for you to spiritually evolve, you must never compromise your faith.
John stares at the ground. I still have much to learn.
Daddy, Im sad because Mommy is gone, but you'll take care of me.
Even with all my mistakes, you still want me back in your life?
Of course, silly, and I love you.
Moshe grins, walks toward the exit. John, the world is in trouble so help people whenever possible! Beware of your temptations, or they will wreck your faith! Angela waves. Bye Moshe!
Moshe stops at the exit. He cups a handful of holy water from a vessel, throwing it in their direction. May the blessings of Almighty God be with you always!
Moshe disappears through the exit.
Angela holds on to Johns arm, and looks up at him.
Daddy, what if Satan comes back?
John caresses Angela's hair, stares at the mosaic of Jesus.
If? After what we did to her, Im sure that its a matter of when. And when that happens, well be ready for her no matter how she appears to us.
The End
