How many times have I told that kid to
throw the paper on the porch?

You're too nice.

Show him some teeth, he might take you
seriously.

The pilot light's still broken.

Oh, yeah, that's it.

I paid the gas bill instead.

Am I the only one who finds that ironic?

It's not funny, Ed.

I don't like sitting here at the end of
each month wondering who to pay and who

to hold off.

I think we should get rid of the cell
phones.

No.

It's a safety issue. What happens if you
get stuck somewhere and you need help?

We'll find the money somewhere else.

We know where the money has to come
from.

You're still gonna ask Mr.

Norris, right?

Yes.

I'll ask.

I know you can do it.

Honey,

I gotta go.

Okay. Well...

Maybe you ought to ask tomorrow. He
might be more open to a raise if you're

an hour late.

I'm not going to be late because I am
going to take the old camp highway.

Bye, honey.

I love you.

So peaceful here.

Well, it wasn't always.

A hundred years ago, people used to come
from all over the world to try to find

their fortune in the silver man, just
like that one right there.

Mostly what they found, though, was
heartache, uh, worse.

I'm sure that mine has a lot of stories
to tell.

Yes, and more to come.

After 12 years, I think I deserve it,
Norris.

Mr. Norris.

No. I know I deserve it.

There's danger in the earth, angel girl.

A man can get swallowed up in it.

Sometimes he can't find his way out.

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.

Loser. Okay,

bye.

Hey, you want to grab lunch later? Yeah.

Got a meeting with Mr. Norris.

And then Gwen is expecting me home at
lunch.

She's banking burgers.

Uh -oh.

Facing the boss and the wife.

Ooh, sounds ominous. Let me ask you
something.

What do you know about stock options?

Not much.

Never given me one.

Do you think they've ever given one to
me?

Judging from the tie, I'd say no.

Of course not. And do you know why?

Because we don't exist.

And as long as we don't exist... As long
as we keep toiling away in obscurity,

there is no reason for them to recognize
our performance with stock options or

pay increases.

So while the big mucky mucks are getting
rich, I'm down here wondering how I'm

going to get my oven fixed.

I, for one, think it's time that we
start recognizing the people who are

actually doing the performing.

You're asking him for a raise, aren't
you? Yeah, what did you think?

It's not bad.

Oven thing needs a little work. It's a
little bumpy, but...

Gee, I'm... I'm sorry, Ted.

My hands are tied.

It's Ed, sir.

Edgold. It's just that, well, the
shareholders want leaner operations,

well, you understand.

Excuse me. Am I interrupting?

No. No, no. Ted and I were just
finishing up.

Good. My name is Ted. I'm from Human
Resources.

I see you took my advice, Ed.

Mr. Gold has been having a problem
making ends meet on his salary, and I

that he speak to his supervisor,
especially in the light of the theme of

this year's annual report.

Investing in our future together.

This is Monica. She's new in public
relations.

Hello.

We want people to know here at Brewster
we don't just care about our customers'

financial needs. We care about our
workers, too.

Nice, isn't it? Mr. Brewster came up
with it himself.

Really? That was Mr. Brewster's idea?

Yes.

Monica's first assignment is to write
the report for Mr. Brewster. And I

maybe you'd like to be quoted.

About how you're investing in your
workers?

Absolutely. Just as soon as I see
payroll about Ted's request.

Ed. Ed.

Right. Come on, I'll go along with you.

Boy.

One minute, I'm wondering how I'm going
to tell my wife I was drop -kicked out

of the boss's office. The next minute,
he's running upstairs to get me a pay

increase. All because of you.

You deserve it.

Your work here is fundamental to this
company's stability.

You know, I've been working here 14
years.

And that's the first time anyone's ever
recognized that.

Well, make sure you don't let it be the
last.

Did you know that?

What's your dog's name?

Jakes.

Nijinsky.

After... Voslav Nijinsky.

Legendary Russian dancer, choreographer.

Are you a dancer too?

No.

I'm an angel.

Am I going to die?

It's okay.

What are you doing all the way out here,
huh?

Hello?

Anybody in there?

No. Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Hold on!

Yeah, I need help.

Someone's hurt.

It's like an old abandoned mine.

I don't know how bad. I just know
someone's down there.

I don't know where. It's in the middle
of nowhere.

Um, the old camp highway!

Oh my god.

I'm here.

All right.

I'm just going to lift this up.

Rescuers. They'll be here soon.

It's okay.

I'm not alone.

There's an angel here.

Whatever you say.

He's helping you.

An angel.

Right.

True, Ed.

God sent me here to help you. And you
can see me.

All you have to do is let go.

Turn around.

Oh, my God.

I'm hallucinating.

Turn around.

He's there.

I can't.

If I let go, it'll fall.

It's okay, Mom.

It's just not ready.

Drop these support beams or the whole
thing will come down on us.

Okay.

Just stay calm. We'll be there as
quickly as possible. You hear me?

I can't.

Hurry, please.

There's some mess in there. It's going
to take some time.

Excuse me.

Pete Darnell, Channel 5 News. Can you
give me some details on what happened

here? Mine caved in.

We got the 911 call. The operator said
the guy on the line ran on into the

Yeah, that his car right there?

Yeah.

Now, hey, it's Peter. Listen, I need you
to access DMV. Get me a name.

License plate BWC420.

They believe that both people still
inside are alive.

And we were able to identify one of
them. His name is Ed Gold. He's a 40

-old underwriter for Brewster Financial
Services.

I get this, Greg and Cindy. Workers here
tell me that for the last two hours,

this man has been holding up a beam
that's evidently keeping the entire mine

from falling down.

Ed, it's okay. I can carry the load.

Listen to me. We got it now.

She's going to be okay.

We got to get you out of here now,
partner.

These old beams ain't going to last much
longer.

Speed it up, guys.

Watch your step.

Mr.

Gold? Mr.

Gold, have they told you how long you
were in there, sir?

Five and a half hours.

Five and a half hours holding up a
mountain, you're a hero.

made the national news.

Really? Mm -hmm.

And I, uh, spoke to the doctor.

What'd he say?

He said there's no way you should have
been able to do what you did.

I told him he didn't know my husband.

How's the girl doing?

She's gonna make it.

What?

What is it?

Alright, don't think I'm crazy.

Do you believe in... Miracles?

I do now.

Is that what you wanted to say?

That was it.

Get it down.

I don't get it.

It's not like you work out. I mean, the
most exercise you get is punching a

calculator. Hey, I was just doing what
anybody would do.

Ed, let's face it. You're not just
anybody anymore.

Hey, everybody, let's go. Let's get back
to work.

Everybody.

Except... Except for you.

This is great exposure for the company,
Ed.

Monica will be handling all your media
appearances for now.

All the new shows have made requests on
the first ones in the morning.

They are going to send limousines.

Carol Norris.

After that, a commendation from the
governor.

Oh, and in the car on the way, there's a
conference call with the producer. They

want to do a TV movie.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, we're all very proud. Well, he's
right here, Mr. President.

You're in the hospital.

But you're safe.

I just came to say goodbye.

Thank you for what you did.

You'll have to come see me, Dad,
sometime.

There's something that you're going to
have to always remember.

You're my hero.

Mr. Gold, I'm Mason, your paper boy.

Yes, I know, and I have been meaning to
talk to you about the way... Could I get

your autograph?

Sure.

Thanks, Mr. Gold.

Okay, first thing, we need a new
picture.

Have you seen this?

Yeah, it's awful, but at least she's
alive, right?

So look, when can we set up that photo
shoot?

How much do I get?

Hi, Mr. Gold.

Yeah, who's playing?

George?

I was thinking more bright.

Morning, Mr. Gold. Yeah.

Okay, Spence.

I'll wait to hear from you.

Ciao.

What plane project? It's due in two
weeks. You were going to give me some

numbers? I'm all over it.

I got a lot going on.

Okay.

In recognition of his heroic feat, the
governor has declared this Ed Gold Day.

He fell out proud for Denver area hero
Ed Gold to roll out the first pitch at

today's lucky day. Heroes don't come any
greater than the grand marshal of

today's parade, our own Ed Gold Day.

Well, that's a very good question,
Cynthia.

Nobody has asked me that. What kept me
going?

I'd say it was an inner strength that I
didn't even know I had.

That and Sansa Bell slacks.

Can I get an endorsement?

Okay, any time. You got my cell. All
right.

Excuse me.

Gold here.

Hold on a minute.

I'm sorry for interrupting, but the
president of the local PTA just called

was wondering if... Monica, the PTA?

I think we can do better than that.

Sorry.

No. No, I can't. Not tonight.

I don't know. Some sort of movie thing.

You would just be bored.

Gwen, I gotta go. I got another
interview.

Okay. Bye -bye.

So, Ed, last week you threw out the
first pitch in a Rockies game.

There's a movie in the works. How do you
feel?

It's been very exciting.

I never guessed this would have happened
to me.

It feels great.

With no celebrities in sight, the crowd
was treated to yet another appearance by

media figure Ed Gold at tonight's movie
premiere. And now to cut the ribbon,

officially opening our newest
superstore, a young man we haven't seen

lately, Ted Gold. Come on in and test
drive any new or used vehicle this

and get your picture taken with caveman
Eddie Gold. I'm waiting for Ed to give

me numbers. Ed Gold.

Monica, Ed here.

Yeah, listen, I was going to take off,
but I could always squeeze in one or two

more calls.

Nothing.

Oh, what about that PTA thing?

Oh, the clown that hosts that cartoon
show?

Yeah, he'll do a good job for that.

Thanks.

Gold here.

Where the hell am I numbered?

Hi, Marla.

I'm Gloria.

I'm your new physical therapist.

Not interested.

I don't want physical therapy. I want to
go home. I want to see my house. I want

to see my dog.

This must be very difficult for you. No,
you don't.

You have no idea what this means.

I'm not a dancer.

But I do know what I do best.

And I know that when I do it, I feel
God's given me wings.

I would imagine that to have that taken
away must make you feel like your life

has no purpose.

Am I getting close?

Yeah.

But there are so many wonderful things
in this world to experience.

And with the proper prosthetic device,
there's no reason you can't experience

all.

Or at least most of it.

I can't promise you Swan Lake.

But there's still a lot of dancing to
do, Marla.

This is not the way you imagined it.

Don't believe this.

It's like all of a sudden he's forgotten
who I am.

You mean who you were?

Anyone call?

In the 30 seconds you were outside?

Don't worry, I kept the line free for
interview.

Hey, I saved a life.

I'm sorry if that bugs you.

No, I was proud of you for that.

What bugs me is how big of a jerk you've
become ever since then.

Do you know why people have stopped
calling?

Why they have stopped giving you awards?

Because they're as sick as I am of you
sucking up the spotlight.

Why shouldn't I get a little recognition
for something I did?

We spent our whole lives being less
than.

This is our chance to be somebody.

I'm sorry you felt that way.

I never did.

I didn't mean it like that. And... As
for our chance, have the backbone to

it what it is, Ed. This is about you.

In all this time, have you ever once
thought about that girl you saved? Have

ever even gone to see her?

Gwen.

You're a genius.

What?

Ed, what are you doing?

I'm calling Monica.

Monica. Where are the photographers?

I didn't call them. We can't just ambush
Marna like that.

Eye on the ball, Monica.

We're losing momentum.

What do we need momentum for, Ed?

The story's going away.

But an emotional reunion between victim
and rescuer will get us back on

television.

Why? Why?

What do you mean, why?

People need heroes, Monica. I've got a
responsibility here.

All right.

Look.

We'll feel her out.

If she's up for it, we'll have the press
here in an hour.

Okay? Which way's physical therapy?

Excuse me. Physical therapy.

Thank you.

You're halfway there, and you are doing
so great.

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You are not a quitter.

Excuse me.

You have a visitor.

Hello, Marla.

I was there with you in the mine. You
remember me?

How could I forget?

Every time I turn on the television or
open a newspaper, there you are, the

hero, telling the world of your mighty
deeds, how you held up a mountain all by

yourself.

But I know the truth, and so do you.

What are you talking about?

The angel.

She thought there was an angel with us
in the mine.

You were in a lot of pain.

For a while, I didn't think so either.

But the more I see of you, the more I
know it had to be true.

Can you help me?

You should be glad you're alive.

If I am ever grateful again...

It won't be because of you.

Gwen? Where are you?

I brought Monica home for dinner.

Oh, Ed, I don't need any dinner.

Where is she?

She knows I have people and a lot of
other things going on. Gwen!

I'm fine, really. I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, wait.

Hold on.

Spence Jacobs out in L .A. Look, I
pitched your story as an M .O .W. at the

networks and cable, too, and no one's
biting.

But, hey, don't worry about it. I've
still got a few ideas left.

Talk to you later.

Hey,

it's Gwen. I'm at my sister's. I don't
know what to say except that I hope you

find whatever it is you're looking for,
Ed.

Bye.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still sick.

No, I'm not going to come into work.

Yeah, I called personnel.

Bye.

I'm not back. I just came to get some
mail.

Honey.

Can we talk about this?

Now you want to talk it?

What's the matter? No more interviews?

Listen to me.

The producer from Los Angeles called.

He thinks this movie still could go.

It's going to solve all our problems.

You don't have a clue what our problems
are.

You're too busy pretending to be a hero.

I am a hero.

I saved somebody's life. The whole world
says I'm a hero.

But you were always a hero to me, Ed.

I guess that wasn't enough for you.

Gwen. Stop.

All I know is that the man who walked
into that mine was someone I loved and

admired.

I don't know the man who came out.

What are you talking about?

It's bad enough you did something good
and you're exploiting it.

But I'm not really sure what you even
did in that mine.

What you did was impossible.

And I've known you so long and know you
so well, Ed, that I know there's

something you're not telling me.

Maybe not even telling yourself.

And now you're losing your precious
fame.

And you're losing me.

And if you're not careful, you're going
to lose your soul.

my head.

Glenn, please.

What?

I'm here.

I'm right here.

So am I.

Monica?

What is it?

I'm an angel, Ed. And so is Andrew.

You mean... It's true?

Oh, yes.

It's true.

That voice.

It was you.

God sent me as an answer to your prayer.

I heard.

I sent something.

You, I guess, but it just seems so
impossible.

How do you think impossible things
happen?

By the grace of God.

God loves you, Ed.

And he knew how much you wanted to save
Marla's life.

But he also knew that you weren't strong
enough.

Only God has the power to hold back a
mountain or decide whether someone lives

or dies.

That's why he sent Andrew.

So I'm not really a hero.

Oh, of course you are.

Many people are called upon to step
forward and risk all that they have to

a stranger, but very few ever do.

And yet...

That does make you a hero.

But because you insisted that only you
were responsible for the miracle that

happened in the mine, you not only
robbed God of his glory, but you keep

from calling out to him in their own
time of need. People need to know that

hears them and answers them when they
cry out, just as he did for you.

You spend your whole life getting
brushed off and...

Stepped around like an ant on the
sidewalk.

And you dream and you wait and you pray.

For that chance.

That one moment.

When you'll finally be set apart from
the crowd.

That your life will need something.

And when your moment came, Ed.

You answered it with great courage.

And what could this world...

possibly offer you that would be more
precious than the unfailing love and

support of your creator.

So what have I done?

I've lost my soul, haven't I?

No.

No. You haven't lost your soul. You've
just lost your way.

And God can show you the way back if you
let him.

So what do you say?

Penance. If it's not enough, I can get
more.

There's still a few dozen left at the
flower shop.

I don't really know how to say this.

My life somehow got better for a little
while.

Because what happened to you?

I don't know what to do with that except
to say that I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

I can't imagine what you're going
through.

How's the physical therapy coming?

I guess I've learned harder dance steps.

I can't dance at all.

Two left feet.

Probably not as bad as you think.

I saw Romeo and Juliet one time. Did you
ever do that?

Yeah. In school.

But I haven't danced it professionally.

And I guess I won't be.

I'm sorry about that.

But... I think...

Must have something just as wonderful
planned for you.

Or he wouldn't have sent an angel to
rescue you.

Yeah.

I can see him now.

You know something?

If you think that you used to feel joy
when you danced, you just wait and see

what God brings you in the future.

Isn't there someone else that you wanted
her to see?

Oh, that's right.

The real hero.

I have to apologize to you. I have been
such a jerk lately.

True.

But I could have been a little more
understanding.

Monica helped me to see a few things.

Oh?

She told you? She told me.

Everything.

So?

Are you willing to spend the rest of
your life with a nobody -being counter?

No.

But I'll happily spend the rest of my
life with you.
