And when the moon is full, like tonight, the monsters rise from the grave.

Wait!

They search into people's veterans, looking for unused brains to eat. That's

they're coming for you, Tor.

Oh, no!

The brain readers are coming.

Stop!

Oh, no. There's one now.

Shut up in there!

I want you two kids to stay in bed.

Till I get back. Now, if I hear you've been running around outside from

I'm going to beat you to a pulp. Is that clear?

What? Yes, Uncle Frank.

Do what you did.

Two boys, four angels.

I've seen it take as many as six, seven angels.

Yeah, but it only takes one God, because he's the one that's got the plan.

We just carry it out.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking, we've never actually been children.

We've just always been.

Maybe we need somebody who knows what it's like to be a child, you know?

Yes, but not just someone who was a child.

Someone who had to fight to survive.

That's a good idea, and I've got just the right human for the job.

But there's a lot to do before he shows up.

I will rise And I will walk with you I'll

walk with you Till the sun don't even shine Walk

with you Every time I tell you I'll walk with

you Believe me, I'll walk with you

Morning. Who are you?

My name's Andrew. I'm doing some fix -up work around here for the landlord.

That must have took an actual guy.

I couldn't say.

Here we go, buddy. Come on.

Good morning, Mr. Taggart.

You leave those boys alone again?

You know I ain't gonna be responsible when something happens. And it will.

That dog will probably eat one of them.

Nice to see somebody finally fixing up around here.

Well, I'm trying to.

Why don't you change those 15 -amp breakers, huh?

Before this dump burns down.

You sound like you know what you're talking about. You an electrician or

something? Just keep it down, all right?

I sleep during the day.

Hey. What you making?

A little toast.

Settles the stomach.

You want to make the toast?

Yeah.

Secrets in the pepper.

Milk, butter, and lots of pepper.

Cures anything.

Well, then, uh, why do you need this stuff?

I can't take a toaster with you wherever you go, huh?

Where's your brother?

He says he's sick.

Hey, kid, get your butt out of bed.

You going out tonight?

Get in trouble, brainless. You're not supposed to feed the dog.

Hey, where do you think Uncle Frank goes at night? None of your business.

Stop following me.

I'm not following you.

I found us a new place.

Hey.

Hey, guys, wait up.

Where are you going?

Someplace you're not.

Hey, stupid, go home.

I can't. There's 62 different ways I can kill you with karate.

Hey,

lay off. Nobody kills him but me.

Man, only wusses let their little brothers hang around.

See, like mine.

Creature stays 20 feet away at all times where I beat him up.

Hey, creature, get lost.

Come on, come on, grab your punches.

Come on, dance around, dance around, dance around.

Uh -oh.

Hey, baby.

Oh, no, it's all right. Come on in.

Have a look around.

My name is Ted.

This is my gym.

Oh, who's Gronski?

There is no Brodsky, but it sounds good, doesn't it?

You got a winner for me here, Tuff? This is one of my best trainers.

Hi, Rafael. How you doing?

Okay.

Um, you train fighters?

For real?

For real.

Lightweight summer specialty, actually.

Can you teach me to beat up my older brother?

Oh, baby, we don't teach you to beat up anyone.

Boxing is called the sweet science.

That's because there's more to the sport than just tossing around a little

muscle. If you want to do it right, you've got to have discipline and self

-confidence and self -control.

What if you don't have that?

Well, then you learn it.

Come on, let me see what you've got.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, give me more.

Well, stay here. I got something for you.

Hey! Whoa!

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You're Tim, right?

Yeah. Andrew.

How you doing?

I'm okay.

Except I'm a little hungry. How about you?

Come here.

This is really just temporary.

You want another piece?

Oh, yeah.

You cook this yourself?

Yep.

You cook?

A little.

I can cook milk toast. It's really good for your stomach, you know. Yeah? Yeah.

So go on. You said that your mom was staying with friends in New York, and...

That's all.

And when she gets a job, you know, I get to go and live with her.

And until then, you're staying with your Uncle Frank and Butch over there.

I don't think that's his name.

I don't think he has a name.

Everything has a name.

You just don't know what his is yet.

Maybe that's why he's here.

Just waiting for someone to know who he really is.

Here we go.

I was at Goodwill this morning, looking for a new chair, and I saw a bunch of

kids stuffing the half off bin.

That no good uncle of yours can't tell you're practically busting out of them

clothes.

So, uh, anyway, here you go.

Don't you thank me for them.

And don't let that brother of yours steal any of them.

That's very nice of you, Miss Tiger. No, it ain't. I'm a mean old lady.

Hey, you know, there's nothing wrong with wearing something that somebody

has worn before.

Except for the underwear.

If I were you, I would stay away from the underwear.

Hey, stupid.

Where you been?

Um... Hey, look, I got to go.

Hey, Tim.

I'm staying at number five over here while I'm, you know, working around the

place. So if you ever want some lunch or anything, okay?

Oh, cool. Thanks.

Oh, hey, could you hold on to that for me? Sure.

Sometimes I just wait.

What?

When my mom come back, she just take me.

Wake up.

You're dreaming.

Ow.

My head hurts.

Oh, you idiot.

You wet the bed again.

I did not.

I'm going to pound you.

Ew, it's you. You're all sweaty. Shut up.

Where are you going?

Where do you think, moron?

Oh, ma 'am, my head hurts.

I can't move my legs.

I can't move my legs. Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

Tim?

Tim, this is Monica.

She works with an agency called Birch Services.

See, when something...

It happens to your family when they get in trouble.

They help you understand what's going on and how to deal with it.

Hello, Tim.

Hi.

Um, where's, uh, where's Stephen?

Um, Stephen's going to have to stay here for a while.

Well, he can't. I mean, my uncle won't let him.

Tim, Stephen has a disease called meningitis.

It's, um, kind of like when a germ attacks the brain.

It can be very dangerous.

Well, you mean like, like it can die?

It could have, if it wasn't for you.

Make sure you eat something when you take those, okay?

Are you sure I don't have it too?

I'm pretty sure. I mean, it'll just help to keep it away.

Have you ever heard of the brain eater?

Hot cup.

Oh. Here you go.

Thank you. For you. Hot chocolate.

Thank you. Yeah.

What'd the kid do now?

I didn't do anything.

Stephen is very ill.

He has meningitis, Frank.

He collapsed here last night and I had to take him to the emergency room.

Who's going to pay for all that?

I think there are more important things to discuss right now.

First of all, Stephen's recovery will take quite a while.

And in the meantime, the hospital has darted Tim on a preventative program of

antibiotics. I think you should take the medication too.

Oh, really?

Now, who the hell are you?

I'm Monica.

I'm from Burt Services.

We offer assistance to families with special needs.

There's no charge.

I'd like to talk to you about it inside.

How long will Stephen be in the hospital?

He's probably going to be there for a while.

You know those clothes that Mr. Taggart gave me?

Yeah.

Got them right inside the door there.

You ready?

Probably the whole health department down here before they're through.

Hey, door!

Man, get lost. How about I lose myself on your face, huh? Why you turn the

hospital lady on us? Now we gotta take a bunch of stupid pills.

It's for no good, you moron. What are you calling a moron, huh?

Hey, look, that's my sweatshirt.

It's not.

It's two.

Has my name on it. Look, Kenny.

Let me see.

I'm tired of this.

So? So, my mom gave it to Goodwill a month ago.

You wear used clothes.

What a loser.

And look, you ruined it too, champ 2B.

Yeah, right.

Man, shut up. You mean disrespectful to my little brother?

What do you care? You hate him anyway.

Give me back my shirt. No.

Good morning, you guys. We're shaking.

Take a sweatshirt.

It's okay.

Come here.

He, uh, he went to the hospital.

You hungry?

Come on.

What about some vegetable soup?

Yeah.

My mom used to make that.

Yeah? Yeah, except you gotta have a lot of vegetables.

Let's see what we got here.

We got, uh, onion, some carrots, a lot of tomato.

Got an onion.

I've got another potato.

Did you steal those?

No. I just haven't plugged in my refrigerator yet.

Man, you are so weird.

Thank you.

You know, you can make this every day if you wanted to.

Oh, it's okay.

I can't afford it.

Well, we can make a trade. I give you groceries, you help me out around here.

Okay. Good.

You know, this is really good.

Good. At least no one's here to take it away from me.

Don't you miss Steven even a little bit?

Well, it's weird not having him here.

He'd work on me.

For dignity.

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve.

Somebody said dignity was the first to leave.

I went into the city.

Went into the town.

Went into the land in the midnight sun.

Searching high.

Searching low.

Searching everywhere.

You're getting pretty strong there all of a sudden.

Yeah. We're working out at the gym.

Gronski.

Yeah.

How'd you know?

That's a friend of mine. Oh.

Yeah, well, I'm going to be a fighter like Muhammad Ali.

You know what that means?

Yeah. I'm going to beat everybody.

Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time.

No question about it.

But when it came to the most important fight of his entire life, he never

a hand to anybody.

You mean he lost?

No, he won.

Just not in the way that you think.

See, Ali was asked to fight in a war.

And he believed that God didn't want him to kill another man.

So he fought for what he believed in.

And he was even willing to go to jail for it if he had to.

Well, what happened?

They took away his heavyweight title.

No.

Yeah.

They took away the one thing that he had fought all his life for, but they

couldn't take away the thing that was most important to him.

So if you think that you want to be like Muhammad Ali, then maybe you ought to

start finding out what's important to you.

You know, Monica says that you haven't been to the hospital yet. This is your

brother.

Yeah.

I've been pretty busy.

So you want to see something?

Sure.

I gave him a name.

Ali.

Get out of bed, you little mutt. Get out of bed!

I'm going to kill you right now.

What happened?

What did you do, huh?

You tell me what you did, huh?

Did you feed that dog, huh? Did you feed that dog? That dog!

What happened here? You happened to me, you little mutt!

You fed him, didn't you? You got him killed!

Well, I didn't do anything to hurt him. That dog is dead because he couldn't

fight to save his life. And he couldn't fight because some little mutt turned

him into a pussycat.

I lost the only thing he could pay the rent around here.

Best damn fighter I ever had. And he's dead!

And you might as well have stolen just like you steal that food in the

refrigerator. Don't think I don't know that.

I didn't steal it.

I work for it. Oh, yeah? Yeah, and I don't?

Get out!

I hate you!

I want out of here now! I want to go live with my mom!

Oh, yeah? Well, go!

Go on! Get out of here!

Are you going to cry now?

Yeah, I'm going to go live with her and her friend in New York!

What are you, stupid?

The only friend your mother is staying with is the state of New York. She's in

jail.

Yeah, that's right.

She didn't last a week back. there until she hit the streets and got arrested

again.

So you better face it, Junior.

You're stuck with me until you do me the big favor of landing in Juvia. Let me

tell you something. You are so on your way.

Wonder who he thinks he's hitting today.

Well, it could be his uncle or his brother.

Could even be his mama.

There are a lot of people that little boy's angry with right now.

Definitely getting stronger.

Well, that could be a good thing.

On the other hand, it may be a bad thing.

Hey, you trying to make that bag bleed?

Tim. Hey, you want to tell me what's going on?

I'm training.

Training? Well, over there, it looks like you're pounding.

Slow down.

Can't.

Hey, you been to see your brother at the hospital yet?

How do I know he's even still there?

I mean, he could be anywhere, and nobody will tell me.

What do you say we go find out, huh?

He just got out of isolation last week.

He was his first visitor.

Hi, Steven.

Look who's here.

Listen, we'll be right outside if you need us.

So... How's it going?

Yeah, well, um... The dog died.

In a fight?

Yeah. How'd you know?

You're so dense.

So they, um...

I'll give you dinner here.

Yeah, this place is great.

Better than at home.

Yeah, well, uh, home is a lot better, too.

Now that you're not there.

You know what, creature?

I don't care. I'm not coming back.

Oh, yeah.

You're just gonna stay here.

When I get out of here, I'm gonna go stay with Mom in New York.

I like having my own bed and TV.

So I'm gonna go live with Mom.

And don't think you're coming with me.

You know, you don't know everything, man.

Give me back my shirt.

No.

I said give it to me now, creature.

You got no one here to protect you this time.

Get lost.

Come on.

Quote like a butterfly, be like a bee.

You ought to know better, boy.

That smells good. Yeah, there's enough for you, too.

Tell you what, why don't you have a real dinner with young Frank tonight?

Look, he's got to take care of himself.

Just like I've got to take care of myself.

Tim, you are learning so much. You know, when you're getting strong, you're

getting self -sufficient, and that's good. But with that, you know, comes a

responsibility.

You've got to help the people who...

You aren't as strong as you are.

It smells, uh, it smells good.

Oh, cool!

Oh, back off.

Lose me another dog, I'll beat the tar out of you.

Goes for your brother, too.

Doesn't matter.

Steven's never coming back anyway.

The lady Monica called while you were at school.

She said your big brother's coming home from the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

I was gonna tell you after dinner.

Crying doesn't do any good.

And if your foot goes on my side of the bed, I'm going to pound you.

Got it?

Oh, yeah. And I use the bathroom first in the morning.

Creature.

Sam?

Brother's here.

I'm ready for him.

Can't wait till he walks in here.

Tim,

come in here with me.

What's this for?

Hmm.

Wait, what happened?

I thought he was okay.

Tim, your brother's probably going to be in that wheelchair for a long time.

Here we go.

I'll pop in now and then to see how you're doing until you get on your feet.

How long is that going to take?

Well, that depends on a few things.

Like how good Stephen is about taking his medicine, how much rest he gets, how

well he eats.

So it's all on you, my personal servant.

What is this?

What is this thing doing on my porch?

It's a wheelchair ramp.

Why the hell did you let him out of the hospital if he's not all better?

The meningitis caused some brain damage in the area that controls his legs.

He'll need some help to get walking again, but he doesn't need to be in a

hospital.

We need everyone's help here.

Oh, man.

Hey, what's that thing on my wall?

Mine.

Or do you think you're going to make me take it down?

I'm just a guy, you know?

I did not ask for this.

All I wanted to do was help out a little and look what I got.

Yes, you got a chance to be a man.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

So go.

I need help.

Hey, I need some help.

Coming.

I smell something burning.

Yeah, I know.

Where's my medicine?

I got one thing to say to you. Nobody suckers my brother.

Man, your brother was born a sucker.

I'm taking you down tonight, punk.

You say when, I say where.

Hey.

Where are you going?

I, um, got some business.

Do you know what time it is?

Yeah.

Why, you got to go to the bathroom or something before I leave?

Hey, punk.

I thought you wasn't going to make it.

Get some gloves.

Man, gloves are for wusses.

whatever you say come on

That's not true.

That's not true. Somebody loves you.

Yeah, who?

God loves you.

He made you, Tim. He knows you.

And he knows what it's going to take to get you to believe him.

Look at me.

There's somebody he wants you to meet.

In this corner, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,

Ali.

What's going on?

Mr. Ali is a friend of ours, Tim, and I'm an angel, just like Andrew and

Raphael.

An angel?

Like a dead person?

Oh, no, like a live angel, created for a purpose.

And tonight our job is to deliver a message to you with the man that you

want to be like.

I want you to listen to him very carefully, Tim.

I want you to listen to his heart.

He wants you to know that God loves you. And he's given you a talent

for the sport of boxing.

And it's made you strong.

And that's good.

But strength is not just about muscle.

You have to know what you're fighting for.

What do you mean?

Well, did it ever occur to you that your Uncle Frank and your brother Stephen

might be in as much pain as you?

Maybe more.

You see, little brothers and big brothers fight all the time.

Now, you might have had it rougher than most, but I want to tell you that your

brother loves you.

I know he doesn't know how to show it.

Because he's very busy trying to survive.

But he loves you.

And he needs you very much.

Your Uncle Frank, well, he complains that you brought difficulty into his

But let me tell you something.

Before you came along, he had nothing at all to care for.

You might very well be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Baby, your fight is not with some bully on the school ground.

Your fight is for your family.

He says, if you're not fighting out of love, it's just a fight.

And you'll never win.

Do you understand?

He's got a poem for you. Come here, Tim.

Now, you can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

But if you want to be a winner like Muhammad Ali, you'll fight the good

that love can give.

Because love is the greatest and the best way to live.

Remember that.

I'll remember.

I got something to say to you.

What's the matter?

I, um... I met a bunch of angels last night.

Right. No.

I did.

So you listen.

Now you didn't ask for us.

And we didn't ask for you.

My mom dumped us on you.

And that's just the way it is.

Now we're family.

means something.

I love my brother.

And I love you.

So things have got to change.

Did you just say you love me?

Yeah.

And maybe you don't know yet.

love us too.

So you gotta start showing it.

I mean, we're just kids, you know?

You gotta start taking better care of us.

My brother is sick.

And he needs all kinds of special help and you're gonna make sure he gets it.

Instead of fighting dogs all the time.

You shouldn't get a real job, you know?

You just don't want to.

But I'll help.

We're gonna be a real family.

With a real dog.

What are you doing here?

There's something I want to say to you, Frank.

You may find this hard to believe, but those kids have guardian angels.

And we're going to be watching over them.

We're going to be watching you, too.

We?

Good morning, Miss Taggart. Those boys start skateboarding on that ramp, I'm

holding you responsible.

You know, I think I've been replaced.

Whatever.

So where's Tess? I thought she'd want to be here. She's got some unfinished

business to take care of.

God bless you, baby.

This was a fight worth winning.

Thank you.
