Away in a manger, no crib for a boy.

Stop that!

Matthew, I didn't mean to!

I'm sorry, it was a mistake. I saw that,
young man.

You know, you could end up in a place
where there are no snowballs.

I just meant to wing him! Merry
Christmas, Jill.

Can we all just enjoy the music? Can we
do that?

Where's Daddy?

He should be here.

He promised he'd be here.

Pull that thing out of there!

Come on, come on!

Somebody's got to be down there!

Get that tow ready.

All right, hitch it up and pull it!

How long goes the crash?

Ten minutes.

Just to sleep on the hay.

Get the crowbar down here, quick!

I love thee, Lord Jesus.

Look down from the sky.

Come on, Dino.

No vitals.

Oh, my God.

Go, Bill.

Come on. Okay, okay.

Get an MRI head scan. It's dead. Get a
surgical team prepped. We may have

hemorrhage. I thought she was dead.
She's not dead. Get a team in place. We

have to operate. Let's go.

Kingdom covenant will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our

daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those.

Henry, she's still comatose.

She has something called subdural
hematoma.

Will she live?

We don't know. There's too much swelling
on the brain to operate tonight. What

we're hoping is that in time... You have
to save her.

My daughter's all I have.

You have to save her.

I know she was dead.

You can't blame yourself, Carter. She
was submerged in freezing water. This

wasn't hypothermia. She was dead.

That woman came back. It's a miracle.

It's a miracle that baby survived,
that's for sure.

Baby? What baby?

Dana's four months pregnant.

I can't pee. Well, I'm afraid it is,
Carter. The blood test confirmed it. No,

Jill, when I... I'm a very thorough
medical examiner. You

know this. Meticulous. Voted state
coroner of the year twice.

What are you talking about?

Well, under the impression that she was
dead, and I still maintain that she was,

I examined her genitalia.

Carter. Just cursory. By law, I have to
do it. And I'm telling you, that woman

cannot be pregnant.

She is.

She's not.

I had the visor on full magnification. I
looked very closely.

Dana Marshall has never had sex. She is
a virgin.

Dr. Joyce, please report to the hospital
pharmacy.

Dr. Joyce to hospital pharmacy.

It's incredible.

I told you.

You sure she's pregnant?

I'm positive. We even did a sonogram.

Looks like a little boy. She's
completely intact.

No laparoscopy. Doesn't look like she's
even ridden a horse.

Will you excuse us, please?

I'm a medical doctor. I can be here if I
want.

She's alive.

There's nothing more that you can do for
her. All right.

It's inexplicable.

Almost no perforation. How? I've read
cases where women have gotten pregnant

without penile penetration.

Ejaculation in the general area.
Sometimes... That's one in a zillion.

Dana Marshall was my patient. I know
her.

She was not sexually active. She's
obviously engaged in something.

Well, one thing's for sure. She'll never
be able to tell us.

Look at her EEG.

The forebrain is almost flat.

She's gone.

What do you mean he's gone?

There's no such thing as Santa Claus.

Never was.

The toys.

He always got toys.

Mom and Dad buy them.

I know it hurts.

But other kids in your class are going
to know, and you shouldn't be the last.

The stockings?

Mom and Dad.

They fill them up.

Mom keeps the letters we write to Santa.

That's a mail fraud.

Yeah.

Well... Reindeer?

I don't believe you.

Is there some other way to become
pregnant I don't know about?

Yeah. There's one.

Happened about 2 ,000 years ago.

Excuse me?

Maybe she was dead when Carter examined
her. Maybe she came back to life.

It's Christmas time. We live in a place
called Rome.

You trying to be funny?

No. Jimmy, I have a whole shelf of
textbooks explaining every medical fact

to man.

Nothing explains what happened to Dana
Marshall.

A long, thin straw?

Hear me out. Semen can stay mobile for
six hours. If she had some, using a

thin straw, she could impregnate herself
by gently blowing, with no abrasion to

the vulva or hymenal... Are you kidding
me? It's a theory.

Well, Carter thinks she might have done
it as a hoax. She's a religious woman,

devout. That makes her predisposed to
delusions right there. Is that right?

Well, I happen to be a fairly religious
man myself.

Doctor. Does that make me delusional? I
have nothing against religion, but the

fact is, extremely religious people,
when afflicted with schizophrenia or any

bipolar mood disorder, can suffer from
manic phases where they think they're

God. In this case, Dana Marshall thinks
she's a virgin mother.

I know Dana Marshall.

She was not subject to psychotic
delusions, and she would not get herself

pregnant as part of a hoax. I checked
sperm banks for a recent break and see

we can... Listen, you may be a very
gifted coroner. I'm sure you pronounce

people dead very well.

Cheap shot. All right. But Dana Marshall
never thought she was God. She never

hallucinated about being a virgin
mother. And I have never heard of any

impregnating herself with a long, thin
straw. Then what? What happened, big

shot?

I don't know what.

She's definitely a virgin? I'm on the
board of the hospital.

Morris Packard told me himself.

Good God.

We should be united on this, Henry.

We should issue a joint statement.

Saying what?

I don't know.

But I don't think we should rush to
condemn the idea of a virgin birth.

That's sort of the thing that put us in
business.

We can't allow it to be exploited with
some kind of trick, either.

I put in a call to Cardinal Flaherty to
get the official Catholic response.

I think you should put it to your
people, too.

Not that the Protestants agree on
anything.

This is bad.

This is very bad.

Why?

I mean, supposing it's, you know...

Another son of God.

Well, I mean, that would be good.

Wouldn't it?

You don't for a second believe that.

Do you?

No.

Of course not.

Ridiculous. Ridiculous.

Jimmy says we should fingerprint
everybody who comes to visit. We can try

prove paternity by matching DNA with the
fetus.

Okay, I'll stay here till 10.

You get Tully to relieve me, okay?

She was so sweet.

My old apartment.

She lived in the building.

Always made sure we decorated for
Halloween and Christmas.

She loved the holidays.

Especially Christmas.

If she was a virgin, she'd be screaming
when she found she was pregnant. But she

kept quiet.

Now that, to me, suggests guilt, not a
miracle.

And how do you know she knew?

Four months.

She knew.

And she knew how.

In fact, I think it caused her to become
suicidal.

What? There were no skid marks going
down that slope. Not even a swerve.

She's 20 years old. She's pregnant.

Abortion is against her religion.

I think she was distraught. She drove
right straight into that lake on

Good. We go with suicide.

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
There's a hundred different extremist

who will invade us if we give this
virgin business any wind.

What are you asking for, Rachel?

I'm asking you to state the truth that
this woman had some sort of vaginal

perforation that allowed her to become
pregnant from some sort of sexual

activity. Now, that has to be the truth,
doesn't it?

There's no other explanation.

Jill, if you don't mind, Cardinal
Flaherty wants us to fax him the medical

records. Oh, I can't do that without a
release.

Jill, is this woman going to live?

No, I don't think she is.

She's vegetative and... Can I ask you a
question?

Of course.

This is probably going to turn out to be
some kind of medical phenomenon. I know

that, but I... Why are you two, of all
people, staying so quiet?

Well, he... We have to be very careful.

We don't want to look like zealots.

If we come out of the block screaming
Virgin Mother, and it turns out to be a

hoax, religion will just end up being
further ostracized. We've hired private

investigators, and we're confident
they'll reveal this to be a false alarm.

You're hoping this is going to be a
hoax?

People all over kill each other in the
name of the Lord.

Can you imagine the destruction if...
The world is not ready for this right

Oh, and what do you want for Christmas,
my little friend?

I was on your lap 25 minutes ago.

I already told you what I wanted. I came
back to see if you remembered.

Well, my helper Santa's little helpers
put everything you said down on paper.

There is no need to worry.

Do you know where I live?

Of course, of course I do. Where?

Where do I live?

You know, you seem like a very smart...
Well,

Sam, his memory's not what it used to
be. Lithium.

So, everything in the North Pole is now
on computers.

You're a fake!

Give it back!

He's not real! He doesn't even exist!

Security! Someone take this little...

I think we've got renal failure. There's
a lot of bacteria in her bloodstream.

Could be a clampsia. We'd have to induce
a miscarriage. We haven't got consent.

She's not going to live long, Richard.
Not like this.

It's not life -threatening yet.

And we can't abort without consent.

It's putting pressure on her diaphragm,
which is causing respiratory problems.

She's developing severe pneumonia.

Which means what?

She could die.

It's over, isn't it?

Well, it doesn't look good. But if
there's any chance, it would be to

the pregnancy.

Otherwise, the pneumonia could take her.

Do what you have to do.

Save her life.

It's not that easy. Dana's opposed to
abortion.

But if she could die, she's a fighter.
She would try to live.

Even so, we can't assume her consent.

We have to get a court order.

Douglas Wambo for the coma woman.

I have an ex parte motion on behalf of
Dana Marshall, a beautiful woman who

cannot appear before you today on
account of being a vegetable.

He's asking for murder, Your Honor.
Quiet.

Quiet.

Anybody gets up in my courtroom, he gets
bounced right into the street.

My client is in critical condition, Your
Honor. If we don't terminate her

pregnancy... Good afternoon, Your Honor.

Attorney Franklin Dell, representing the
Rome Episcopalian Church, St.

Augustine's Church. Your clients have no
standing here.

Under ordinary circumstances, I would
agree.

But I file my appearance under
circumstances that are anything but

The pregnancy to which my learned
brother refers is medically impossible.

It's not impossible.

Wombau, shut up.

Mr. Dell, what exactly are you
suggesting?

My clients are suggesting the
possibility, not the probability, but

possibility that this is a divine
pregnancy.

Quiet, quiet.

Are you on drugs?

Your Honor, we're not trying to be
sensational or hysterical. In fact, we

consider keeping silent on this, but...

My God, medically they can't explain how
the woman became a child.

Now they want to abort it?

For God's sake.

And maybe his sons.

At least we ought to wait until we have
all the information.

If we wait, she could die.

As I understand it, the woman is
virtually already gone.

Am I actually hearing this?

The church is intervening because you
believe the woman could be pregnant with

the son of God?

We don't know, Your Honor.

Truth is, we think that this conception
will turn out to be very earthly.

But until we're certain there are bad
rulings, and then there are bad rulings.

Mm -hmm.

Dr. Brock, please rise.

How did she get pregnant?

Your Honor, I'm as confused as anybody.

Turkey baster, Judge.

We know she loved to cook.

There was no turkey baster. The hymen
was completely unbroken.

Carter examined her microscopically. He
even... Never mind.

I'd like to call a few witnesses, Judge.

That's all I ask. I object, Your Honor.
The church is using this for public

relations. They are trying to promote
Christianity at the expense of my

life. Again, Your Honor, Ms. Marshall is
near brain dead.

Her prognosis is... It has hope.

That hope belongs to her.

Mr. Dell, I'll give you one day to make
whatever case it is you want to make.

One day.

This is outrageous.

Ten o 'clock tomorrow.

I'll take evidence.

That's it.

I want to sue.

It was fraud.

Oh, no, Zach.

It was just a department store Santa
Claus. Make believe the real one lives

in the North Pole.

You can't sue.

Matthew said there is no North Pole.

Some people don't believe in Santa
Claus, but it doesn't make him any less

Santa Claus is coming to Rome, and he's
coming down your chimney.

Cynthia Parks thinks he might come to
Rome first this year.

Really? Why's that?

Because the coma woman has God's baby
inside her.

Uh, it's not God's baby. Don't believe
that nonsense.

Okay, honey, come on, up to bed.

So,

Santa Claus is coming, but God isn't.

Us.

Something like that.

God has been with us. We've been praying
and seeking God a lot.

This tape doesn't help. God never leaves
us, nor forsakes us.

We just wanted to come and... So, when
Mary had Jesus,

she was a virgin?

Yep.

Well, then how did it happen?

Well, um, the Holy Ghost visited Mary
and Jesus was conceived.

So the Holy Ghost and Mary had sex?

No. Um, there was no sex at all. It was
kind of in vitro?

Gift? Test tube?

Uh, no. It was a... It was a spiritual
visit.

Um... Mary and the Holy Ghost.

Um... It was kind of like in that movie,
Cocoon, where they pass through each

other.

I guess.

Just do exactly what you've been doing.

Argue the possibility of a divine
pregnancy.

That'll protect Christianity and we
won't... Without exposing you to the

potential ridicule.

What's the Vatican say?

They don't want to get involved.

They want to stay distanced.

Now listen to me.

Both of you.

I am a litigator.

I take marching orders. Do you want me
to win this or not?

You'd better think about it, because if
the court concludes that this could be a

virgin pregnancy, what then?

That's our concern, not yours.

Damn right it's your concern. It's a big
one, too.

You could be stuck with a second
potential son of God in utero.

But if it's deemed a second coming, that
means the end of the world, doesn't it?

Our winning... You'll never win.

We all know that.

My question is do you want me to try?

You've been hard to argue the divine
possibility You do that

Nobody around the world seems to be
taking this too seriously.

No medical explanation for the pregnancy
has been given. Famine by seven

different doctors now. There is no
official response from any church. Dr.

just one question. Is the pregnancy a
hoax, Dr. Haber?

Come on, come on.

Mr.

Marshall, your daughter is a religious
woman, a devout Catholic.

She always maintained that she was
against abortion.

I know under these circumstances, it
would be Dana's wish to do what she had

do to survive.

Are you sure that isn't just your wish,
Mr. Marshall?

For Dana to survive?

I know my daughter.

She would fight to live.

I'm going to ask you a very difficult
question, Mr. Marshall.

And I want you to give me an honest,
difficult answer.

Assume, just for the sake of argument,
assume that this pregnancy was by divine

power. I don't believe... I'm not asking
you to agree that this is what

happened. I'm asking you to assume that
God had something to do with this

conception.

Now, given that assumption, if that were
true, so religious as Dana is, do

you really think she would want to
abort?

Answer the question, Mr. Marshall.

I don't know.

That was honest.

I have just one more question.

Knowing your daughter the way you do, do
you think that she would somehow

impregnate herself, assuming that were
even possible?

Would she attempt a stunt like that?

And you're certain, Dr. Haber, certain
the woman has never in her life had

intercourse? Well, this case has
convinced me, Mr. Dell, that I can't be

of anything.

But I can tell you this.

We conducted 17 vaginal examinations.

We even gave her a sonogram.

And it is our unanimous medical
conclusion that the woman has never,

experienced penile penetration.

How then could she become pregnant?

There's no medical explanation for it.

Is there a divine explanation?

I don't know.

I suppose... I suppose you can't rule
that out.

How can a doctor make such a statement?

As a doctor, I admit, I'm baffled.

But as a human being... You're not up
here as a human being.

You're here as a medical expert.

Just give us the medical facts and leave
out... I gave you the facts, Counselor.

The fact is, the woman is a virgin.

And like it or not, that makes her
pregnancy supernatural.

I do not think it's supernatural.

She was probably exposed to semen near
her vaginal area, and somehow, whether

her fingers or someone else's, we don't
know.

You don't think that Dana Marshall is a
virgin mother?

No, I do not.

Why? Don't you believe it could ever
happen? As a physician, I don't believe

happened in this case.

That's not what I asked. Do you think it
ever happened?

Do you believe, for example, that the
Son of God was born of a virgin mother?

Do you believe that, Doctor?

I'm not here to discuss religion.

I'm only asking what you think.

As a person of Western medicine, a
person of science.

Do you believe that Mary was a virgin at
the time she conceived Jesus Christ?

Yes.

I believe that Mary was a virgin mother.

Well, if it happened once... It never
happened.

Not once and not ever.

Mr. Wambaugh, sit down. He's mixing
church and state. Sit down.

My question is this.

If a virgin became pregnant once, how
can you be sure it couldn't happen

I guess I can't be sure.

I'll sue you both.

For what?

You're supposed to do whatever it takes
to save a patient.

You two have sentenced Dana Marshall to
a death.

I just told the truth.

What you said had nothing to do with the
truth.

Jesus wasn't the son of God, and there
was no... Why? Because the Jews say so?

All right. No.

Just because you're part of a minority
doesn't give you the right to take cheap

shots at Christianity.

You watch your tongue! I mean it. I am
sick of apologizing for my religion.

I believe in the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, and I believe in the

possibility of a miracle.

And I will not be ashamed to say it.

Even though you may be. I'm not ashamed.

I saw your face on the stand, Jill. You
were apologizing. Don't deny it. Because

she knows the whole thing is a myth.

A giant myth.

I don't care what they told you.

It's a parent's job to lie about Santa
Claus.

But if you believe in him, kids will
pick on you.

Why? Because you'll look like a nut.

Think about it.

A man up there somewhere.

knows if you've been bad or good, knows
when you're asleep, knows when you're

awake?

How can any man know all this about
millions and millions of kids all over

world? He could be magic.

Zach, if you can't see somebody, if you
can't hear them or touch them, then

don't believe them.

Don't be wishing for stuff from somebody
who's not real.

You'll just get hurt.

Better call the bomb squad. We don't
have a bomb squad.

Hold on, it's just a smoke bomb.

You all right?

Yes. No damage, just smoke.

I want a guard assigned to the judge.

Round the clock, go.

No, no.

I won't be intimidated by a few lousy
death threats.

That just empowers them. Doctors have
been shot outside a boysen clinic.

Those cooks think that unborn child
could be a messiah. I'm not taking any

chances. Womba.

You got a decision to make.

My life is threatened if I rule for you.

That could make me biased against your
case.

If you want me disqualified, get your
call.

If there's any judge that won't be
scared off, I know it's you, Henry.

I want you on the case.

Thanks a lot.

Please report to the third floor nursing
station.

Hey.

She lies there so still.

Coughing so much trouble.

Maybe that's what she meant to do.

Jimmy, do we really believe in God?

Of course.

Well, we say we do.

Then we automatically disbelieve at the
thought that she... We dance around

religion. We never confront what we
actually think. And our kids... You

have heard Matthew and Kimberly this
morning. They have no sense of anything

that's holy.

We give them no guidance whatsoever.

I believe in God. I believe in Jesus.

Am I sure that he walked on water? Do I
believe that Jonah was swallowed by a

big fish and led to talk about it? I
don't know.

I think it might be safer to keep God
out there somewhere, knowing he's out

there.

But not getting in the same room with
him.

Aaron Haber was right. I was ashamed in
court today.

Of what?

About what I said.

I'm a doctor. I'm a scientist.

And I'm talking about virgin births and
spiritual belief.

What's wrong with that?

Well, it doesn't feel professional.

I mean, to believe in God, to believe in
heaven, it makes me feel less credible

as a doctor.

She's lucky to have you as a doctor.

But we can't help her.

We bring in the best neurologist, top
surgeon, expert obstetrician.

And the only thing that we can really do
for her is pray.

the nonsense to stop.

A woman is dying.

She may very well die.

But why?

Because we want to embrace a little
Yuletide theology?

Hark the herald angels sing.

Christ the sequel has come to Rome.

Isn't it exciting?

Isn't it fun?

Isn't it splendid to sit around and
debate the issue over eggnog?

Dana Marshall is in a coma.

That's for real.

She might never see Christmas if the
doctors don't terminate her pregnancy.

And if she dies, the baby dies too.

There's only one life you could really
save.

It's hers.

Stop with the divine propaganda.

Stop with the talk of miracles.

Come back to Earth and save my client
from death.

She doesn't need a God right now.

She needs a judge.

We all heard Henry Marshall's testimony.
With the possibility that this could be

a divine pregnancy, he said that Dana
might not want the abortion.

That means the real issue is the
reasonableness of such a possibility.

The medical evidence is uncontroverted.
She's a virgin and she's pregnant.

Sheriff Brock.

has been out collecting DNA samples from
every man Dana Marshall dated, trying

to match genetics with the fetus. He
came up with nothing.

The mayor, sitting right over here,
she's been on a one -woman crusade to

down even the notion of a virgin birth.
Why? Because it is such a preposterous

idea.

She's worried the town will be laughed
at for even entertaining such a

ridiculous premise.

Imagine a mayor, a sheriff, a judge.

Acknowledging religious tenets? Oh!

Well, what's wrong with that?

What has happened in this country that
makes us so ashamed of believing in God?

Politicians are schooled never to bring
it up.

Try saying a prayer in school and it's
quick. Call the ACLU.

Oh, no, it's all right to be religious.
But for God's sake, keep it to yourself.

Whatever you do, don't tell anybody.

You'll be labeled a zealot, a ranting
demagogue, an idiot.

I'll tell you something, Judge.

This country is in moral decay.

Maybe it's time we stopped punishing
people for bringing their religious and

moral concerns into our public arenas.

You're getting way off the point,
Counsel.

Well, actually, I'm not, Your Honor. My
point is...

This society not only trivializes
religion today, it scorns it. And it is

scorn which has prevented everybody in
this room from even entertaining the

possibility that something godly is
going on with Dana Marshall.

The doctors, the police, all the experts
have ruled out everything earthly, and

still we don't dare consider anything
from a higher power.

We are a society without faith.

No wonder we're a land without hope.

None of us knows what's going on with
Dana Marshall, how she got pregnant,

it could mean, why she was dead and then
suddenly alive again.

Nobody knows.

All I ask, this once, let's let the
Almighty make the ruling.

Let's let God be God in all of this.

Because that, in the end, is Dana
Marshall's only true hope.

This would be my biggest loss ever.

Losing a virgin mother case.

They take away my license to be Jewish.

Jimmy!

You know, while I thought she was dead,
I took samples of hair, fiber, pubic

swabs... Oh, not now. The lab results
came back. One of the hairs on her head

wasn't hers. We've ruled out all the
boyfriends. Well, I'm crossing over the

samples anyway.

What's the point? The point is we can't
give up. If that judge finds us could be

divine, we look like fools.

We can't give up.

You ever thought about what if God did
put his son back on Earth?

What government would throw away its
rule and begin a new theocracy?

Even the Vatican.

How would they react if the new Messiah
was a U .S. citizen?

If when he turned 21 he started
redlining the encyclical letters, I

the Pope just defer?

Do you think about this?

You made a nice speech in court, Mr.
Dillon.

Please don't spoil it by mocking us now.

I'm not mocking you.

I really wonder.

What would happen if a God -man returned
to Earth?

Well, we'd have to deny him. Otherwise,
world order would go crumbling.

He'd get no better treatment today than
he got from the Romans 2 ,000 years ago.

I feel sorry for you.

You are just a litigator.

What you said in the courtroom was so
true.

But you're so swallowed up by cynicism
that you can't believe the truth of your

own words.

You're a man without faith.

I feel very, very sorry for you.

Be seated.

With the print reporters hanging on
every word, I decided to write out my

ruling.

The determining factor concerns the
substituted judgment of Dana Marshall.

In other words, what would she want us
to do?

In evaluating... Excuse me, Your Honor.

What's the idea, deputy?

I'm sorry, but I think everything here
is moot. Dana Marshall has regained

consciousness. What? She's only semi
-conscious and she cannot speak, but the

doctors think that by tomorrow she'll be
able to communicate.

Well, since she will presumably be able
to decide for herself, this matter is

saved.

Thank God.

All right, I'm her doctor.

This is impossible.

Why?

You're a religious man. You believe in
the possibility of miracles?

Let me see her. Dana. Doctor.

First, stand up against the wall. I beg
your pardon? You're under arrest for the

attempted murder of Dana Marshall.

What? You have the right to remain
silent.

Never mind my rights. What the hell is
going on here?

We matched a piece of your hair. It was
on her head. And another strand in her

car. You were the only one who had
access to her, Aaron.

You had to have inseminated her with a
hypodermic.

Excuse me?

It couldn't be detected.

She wouldn't even have known it
happened.

But she must have figured it out.

Phone records show that she called you
on the day of her death, probably to

confront you.

You cannot prove any of this. I don't
care what she said.

She didn't say anything.

Search him.

Spread your legs.

See, she hasn't regained consciousness.

We made that up. We needed you to make a
move.

And you did.

Here we are.

Probably nitroglycerin or nicotine to
induce cardiac arrest.

We knew if she were to talk, you'd have
to spring into action.

Think that's the chemist?

I think that'll be two counts of
attempted murder.

Why, Aaron?

Look what it's done for Christianity,
Joe.

People all over reliving the
possibility.

Even you.

The world needs hope.

We need hope.

I was trying to provide a little hope.

The gynecologist.

He knocked her unconscious, put her in
the car and pointed it down the

embankment. That's why there were no
skid marks.

But why?

Why would anybody be so psychotic?

During the holidays.

This is the exact bipolar disorder I've
been describing.

I thought it was her. It turns out it
was him. And he admitted it? I knew he

a nut. It's a little of what Carter
described.

The man was playing God.

Plaintiff's motion to terminate the
pregnancy is granted.

Now get out.

Let me get sick to my stomach in
private.

A killer gyno. I knew he was nuts.

I knew at first. I just thought it was
her.

Well, you were wrong again, weren't you,
Carter?

Curiosity, what was your original
ruling?

I'll never tell.

Merry Christmas, Sheriff.

Get out.

There's no real hope, is there?

No.

I just came from Judge Bones. He said
you can do whatever you want to do.

The abortion might stop the pneumonia,
but... But what?

She's not coming back.

Not to consciousness.

I know you're a Catholic. I know you
won't consider euthanasia, but you might

consider not aborting.

Letting the pneumonia run its course.

To give her some peace.

I still think she's a fighter. You know,
she loved life. I think she...

I don't know.

Daddy?

Dana?

Dana?

Me?

What's going on? Oh, God.

Oh, my head.

Oh. How long have I been in here?

Oh, dear God.

Dear God.

Someone tell me what's going on.

I want an MRI.

Get me a physical exam as soon as
possible. You got it.

Right here, honey.

It's happening before.

Vegetative people have suddenly regained
consciousness.

It's rare, but it's happened.

Uh -huh.

It's amazing.

But it's not impossible, you know.

It's happened.

Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Claus.

The most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor men can

see.

Nobody can conceive or imagine all of
the wonders that are unseen and

in the world.

We've read this book. Shut up!

No Santa Claus.

Thank God he lives.

And lives forever.

A thousand years from now, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now, he

continue to make land the heart of
childhood.

Good ending.

I like that ending.

Yeah.
