All language subtitles for 21 Jump Street s02e18 Brother Hanson and The Miracle Of Re.eng

THEME SONG: We never
thought we'd find a place

where we belong, Don't
have to stand alone,

we'll never let you fall.

Don't need permission to
decide what you believe.

Ooh!

I said jump, down
on Jump Street.

I said jump, down
on Jump Street.

Your friends will be there
when your back is to the wall.

You'll find you need us because
there's no one else to call.

When it was hopeless, a
decision's what you need.

You better be ready to, be
ready to jump, 21 Jump Street.

-If somebody barbecued 200
biology books in my school,

they'd have been
voted class president.

-You find something funny about
books being burned, Hanson.

-No, but let's face it, Captain.

Ain't like somebody OD'd.

-Somebody doesn't always
have to OD, Hanson.

-Well, I didn't say they did.

-Fine.

-Fine.

-You get a chance
to look at the file?

-Yes.

Larchmont High.

It's on the edge of the County.

No drug problems, girls
still wear skirts.

And their favorite
movie was "Footloose."

-And 30% fundamentalist.

-So what's the big stink?

-There's a science
teacher over there

who wants to teach Creationism.

He might be stirring things up.

How well do you know
the Bible, Hanson?

-Went to Sunday
School till I was 14.

-Good, study up.

I want you to go
in as a thumper.

Get next to whoever's
behind the book burning.

-Sure.

-5,992 years.

According to Genesis, that's how
long ago God created the Earth.

A few days later, he
created property taxes.

[laughter]

-So what about the
rock formations

they found in Greenland?

I read somewhere they're
almost four billion years old.

-It's science fiction, Randy.

-They've also found
some human fossils

that go back two million years.

Homo habilis.

-Hey, maybe you're the homo.

-Guys.

-Maybe the Bible's
got a few typos.

So why don't you
read it and find out.

-Yeah.

-Look, I'm just
asking a question.

-And it's a good one.

What we have here are two
theorems diametrically opposed.

The Bible and Darwin's
Theory of Evolution.

If one stands, the other falls.

Principal Garner,
Miss Wallace, welcome.

-Carry on, Jim.

-So what about those rocks?

-Randy, ask yourself this.

How can anyone know what
with the certainty of truth

that any rock is four
billion years old?

-I don't know.

How do they do it?

-Geologists measure the
rate of radioactive decay

in a rock's isotopic structure.

You think I'm making this up.

What the geologists make up are
the actual ages of the rocks,

because they're all based on
the assumption of evolution.

-On the contrary, radioactive
half-life measurement

is only one of the methods
used to test the Earth's age

and history.

Scientists can verify it by
checking against the stratified

Earth layers as well as
the hydrogen-helium ratio

of the sun.

-But you still have
a theory supporting

other theories, Miss Wallace.

-Mr. Crawford?

-Evolutionary theory
has withstood 100 years

of close scrutiny by
scientists around the world.

It's as much a fact
of life as gravity.

-Look at these children.

You deny them the joy
of knowing that they

were created by Almighty God.

PRINCIPAL GARNER: Please.

I can't allow this to continue.

-Created on the sixth
day in his image,

male and female, and
God blessed them.

-Mr. Crawford, that's enough.

-And God saw everything
that he had made,

and behold it was good.

-Jim!

-Mr. Garner.

Anyone who believes in evolution
doesn't need a teacher.

They need a Bible.

[background approval sounds]

-That'll be all for today.

Mr. Crawford, thank you.

Miss Wallace.

-Where are you taking him?

-Back to the Garden of Eden.

-Hey!

Uh--

[yells and grunts]

-No, no, guys.

Randy, let him go.

-Let him go.

Let him go!

PRINCIPAL GARNER: Jim.

You want to teach creation?

Please take a job at
a parochial school.

It's the students here who
need the enlightenment.

-That's not the point.

I got to tell you.

You're going to push
yourself right out the door.

The School Board's
been all over me

after this business
with the biology books.

I was as appalled by
the act as you were.

-I know.

But I didn't make
a point of saying

that the text was a
threat to mankind.

-Don't trivialize my opinions.

I said it was factually
misleading and spiritually

nonexistent.

-And you knew what effect
that statement would have.

-I do not condone
the burning of books.

-But you may well
have inspired it!

Teaching creation
is against the law.

I don't have to agree with it.

But I have to uphold it.

-What can I do?

How can I teach what
I don't believe?

-The same way that I
can go against my heart

and ask you to.

You need to find a way.

Don't make me have
to suspend you, Jim.

-The relationship I
have with my students

is something I hold
very dear to me, Jack.

It's why I teach.

-Hi.

-How are you doing?

-You're new here, aren't you?

-Yeah.

-I saw you stand up to the
principal in biology class.

That was pretty brave.

-Yeah, well, I don't need
nobody shoving monkey science

down my throat.

-For where two or three are
gathered together in my name,

there am I in the midst of them.

-What's your name?

-Cameron Crawford.

-Tom Halstrom.

Crawford?

You related to--

-He's my father.

-I thought it was
real cool the way

your father stood up
to Mr. Garner today.

-He's going to be speaking at
the Church meeting tonight.

Are you going to go?

-Sure.

My father'd drag me there
even if I didn't want to.

-How about you, Tom?

-Oh, yes, wouldn't miss it.

-Miracles don't come very often.

Most of us never
get to witness one.

We accept the truth of God's
miracles not with our eyes

but with faith in our hearts.

CONGREGATION: Amen.

But our town is different.

God has chosen to let us see
the miracle of his kindness.

I know a lot of you have
come from different churches

to rejoice in our miracle.

So I would like to ask Brother
James and his son, Cameron,

to step up.

[applause]

-Thank you.

Every day, every man,
woman, and child among us

must make compromises.

Some of them are reasonable.

They help us to get along
with our fellow man.

Some are not so reasonable,
but we say to ourselves

it keeps the peace.

So be it.

And sometimes, to
keep the peace,

we compromise the Word of God.

-Never, Brother.

-Sad but true, Brother.

But what happens when we
compromise God's truth?

-Hell, Brother.

-Don't speak for God, Brother.

He bends over backwards to
keep us away from those fires.

It was my doing.

I was in my own
personal hell, because I

compromised the Word of God.

And God gave me a
miracle to open my eyes.

Over the Christmas
holidays, my son, Cameron,

was skating on Renner's
Pond when the ice broke open

and swallowed him up.

45 minutes, my boy was
trapped beneath the ice

before they pulled
him out deader

than the blood below my feet.

I have here the signed medical
report that shows him DOA.

Dead On Arrival at
County Hospital.

I would like to tell you
that I prayed to the Lord

to save my son.

But I knew you couldn't
bring back the dead.

-You don't know everything,
do you, Brother?

-I certainly don't.

Because for a moment, I
forgot about a miracle

like this that
happened on Calvary.

And just like the
Resurrection, the Lord

showed to me that only he
has the power to create life.

CONGREGATION: Praise the Lord.

-And at that moment, my
little boy opened his eyes

and came back to me.

Because only God
can create life.

[cheers and applause]

-So I have pledged to correct
this abomination of God's truth

called evolution, and teach
the true story of Creation

to my students.

[applause]

-Where you from, Tom?

-Jacksonville, Florida, sir.

-It's a nice part
of the country.

-Yes, it is.

-You belong to any
church organizations

back in Jacksonville?

-Tuesday evening Bible study
and the Church sports league.

Yeah.

-We got a church league.

Maybe you could join.

-Sounds good.

-Let me ask you something, Tom.

In that Bible study group, what
translation of the Scriptures

did you read?

-King James.

-Good.

-Can I ask you a
question, Mr. Crawford?

-Please.

-Why won't they teach
us the Bible in school?

-That's a good question.

I think it has to do with fear.

Man knows that his heart
can play tricks on him.

So he's learned not
to trust his feelings.

He needs facts, facts
that can be proven

without the danger
of a faulty heart.

Not everyone knows that
believing in the Lord

requires a great deal of faith.

We witness God's miracles
daily, and yet, we

talk ourselves out
of believing them.

So people turn away
from the Bible,

because God's words can
only be proven in the heart.

But evolution, see they believe
that can be proven in the mind.

Personally, I believe
it's been proven

with another part
of the anatomy.

-You know, your
father's a good man.

-He's a great man.

-Got a tough fight
on his hands though.

A lot of people just don't
want the church in school.

-A lot of people do.

-Yeah.

I'd like to have been
with those guys who

were burning the
monkey books, though.

-Burning books is wrong.

-Fuck, it wasn't
nothing but trying

to keep the devil out of school.

Just ask your dad.

-My father said those vandals
should be thrown in jail.

-Hey, take a look.

-Is that Cindy?

-Yeah.

I used to walk by
here all the time.

-Man, she's good-looking!

You know, she was giving
you the big eyeball.

-Me?

No.

She liked you.

-Oh, no, no, no, no.

It was you.

-You know, I never even
talked to her before today.

I used to walk by
here every night just

to watch her in the window.

Before today, I didn't even
think she knew my name.

-Yeah, well, she knows it now.

-Now that I'm a miracle boy.

-What was it like?

-When I was under the
ice, and everything

was whooshing,
crazy all around me,

I kept thinking I'm just a baby.

And I've never done anything.

And that ice water started
numbing me all over.

Everything slowed down.

I started thinking about all
the things I wanted to do.

When I was dead,
none of it mattered.

I could see the light.

felt good And it felt good
and warm to be in the light.

And God sent me back.

I didn't want to go.

But it's part of God's
plan, so I accept it.

-How do you know what's
part of God's plan?

-At first, I kept asking
myself why would God choose me?

I wasn't happy about it.

But when people saw that God
brought me back from the dead,

they started turning
back to the Lord.

My father told me
I couldn't shirk

the responsibility of
being God's messenger.

-You know, when my
father died, all

I kept thinking was I
want to get inside him.

I want to help him through it.

I wanted to know if he
was scared or in pain.

I wanted God or
somebody to tell me why,

to make some sense of it for me.

God never spoke.

God can speak to
you, Tom, through me.

Because I've been dead.

And God sent me back.

When I entered light, I
was glowing in God's love.

There was no pain, no sadness.

I know your father
felt that too.

-So what do you got?

TOM: Nothing.

-Nothing?

-I got a school full
of kids who don't

want to be taught evolution.

And a teacher who
doesn't want to teach it.

-We knew that going in, Hanson.

-Can I ask you a question?

You know, uh, kind of
on the personal side.

-You can ask.

-Do you believe in God and Adam
and Eve and all that stuff?

-I believe in God,
most of the time.

I also believe that
human life evolved,

just like Darwin said it did.

-All Crawford wants is to
teach what he believes.

I mean [scoffs], seems
like it should be OK.

-It's out of your hands, Hanson.

Unless you want to
repetition the Supreme Court.

What brought all this on?

-I don't know.

Cameron, I guess.

You know, he's this miracle boy.

-(SKEPTICALLY) Miracle boy?

-Well, he came
back from the dead.

Ain't that a miracle?

-What do you think?

-Could be a miracle.

Could be some very good doctors.

Maybe just wasn't his time.

But he came back.

When was the last
time you met someone

who was already dead once?

I know, this sounds
crazy, Captain,

but ever since my dad died,
I've been cursing to God one

minute and begging
him the next, just

to tell me my father was OK.

And then, all of a
sudden, this weird kid

comes back from the dead and
tells me my father is OK.

And I kind of believe him.

-Maybe you found religion.

-Maybe.

-Just remember, you're in
there to find an arsonist.

[school bell]

-Well, as soon as Principal
Garner and Miss Wallace

get settled, I
guess we can begin.

Oh, Miss Wallace, I feel
I owe you an apology.

-You do?

-Yes, I realize that
teaching evolution

is the law of the land
and I'm going to do it.

In fact, I've even brought
along a visual aid.

Class, I'd like you to
meet your Uncle Harry.

[laughter]

By the way Darwin
had it figured,

man's origins go back
to the tree shrews

some 60 million years ago.

Uncle Harry and then man
developed the upright position

by grasping tree trunks with
both feet fore and hind limb.

-Excuse me.

Is this really necessary, Jim?

-Well, you're not
ashamed of your heritage,

are you Mr. Garner?

-Why don't you come with me?

You just had to do
it, didn't you, Jim?

-I'm doing what I
feel I have to do.

Moral decay, drugs, alcohol.

These tragedies stem from
our children growing up

without faith in
God or themselves.

-So what's your solution?

Make it mandatory
that the students

believe in your God with
your steps to Heaven?

-If that's what it takes.

Somebody has got to
try to save these kids,

make things right for them.

I think I can.

-Jim, you are a gifted teacher.

Teach.

-I'll tell you
what, Miss Wallace.

If you would like to
debate in an open forum

on the scientific merits of
both creationism and evolution,

I'd welcome it.

-Any time.

-That is not the issue
here, Jim, and you know it.

It's against the law to teach
religion in a public school.

If you insist on
teaching creationism,

I will have no choice
but to remove you

from your teaching post.

-There's a PTA meeting
tonight in the gym.

I can guarantee you that
won't be their attitude.

-If I return you
to your classroom,

are you going to
teach evolution?

-I can only teach
what I can believe.

-Then you're suspended, Jim.

-Well, we'll see who has
his job in the end, Jack.

-You yanked Mr. Crawford
out of class today.

I want to know why the best
teacher in this damn school

got pulled out of
his class and fired.

AUDIENCE: Me too!

AUDIENCE: For illegally
teaching the Bible

to children who don't
want to learn it.

-Calm down.

Yes Mr. Crawford was removed
from his class today,

but he wasn't fired.

He's been temporarily
suspended, pending

a hearing with the
Board of Education.

-How come it took three
months to fix the heater,

but you got a new shipment of
science books in three days?

-So now, I have
to have evolution

shoved down my son's throat.

-Evolutionary theory
can coexist with God.

I-- I don't understand why
you're afraid of accepting--

-Accept nothing.

I do not want my children
thinking they are apes.

-Anybody who says God didn't
create Heaven and Earth

is crazy.

-Why don't you keep Heaven and
leave Earth for the rest of us?

-Biological origins
play a very small part

in the science curriculum.

Frankly, I prefer the
creation of Genesis.

So I teach it to my
children at home.

-Mr. Garner, would you mind
if I spoke a few words?

-OK, Jim, but please,
keep it peaceful?

For those of you
who don't know him,

this is Mr. James Crawford.

[applause]

-How are you this evening?

-Why don't you stick
to teaching science?

-I plan to.

But I also have no intentions of
teaching your children atheism.

AUDIENCE: Hallelujah.

Amen.

-Mr. Crawford, we've
discussed this already.

I know we did, Mr. Garner.

But I think even you would have
to admit that God's will holds

the right of way
over school policy.

-It's illegal, Mr. Crawford.

You're breaking the law.

-Well, we're just going
to have to change the law.

And with God's help, we
will bring the Almighty back

into the classroom.

-Not on my taxes.

-The children must be served.

I think it's only fitting that
we quiet our angry voices,

and let the wisdom
of the child speak.

-Yeah, let him speak.

-I'd like to ask my son Cameron
to stand up and speak his mind.

AUDIENCE: Hallelujah!

[applause]

-I had another life
before God took me away.

Now that I'm back from
the dead, I'm different.

I'm not like the
other kids in school.

So I don't think I
should speak for them.

But I have a new friend,
someone who just moved here.

And I know the Lord
wants to hear from him.

Tom Halstrom?

Tom?

-Hi.

I'm new here.

Today's my first day in
Mr. Crawford's class.

He's a good teacher.

I like what he had to say.

I ain't never seen
no miracle before.

But you got one in this town.

AUDIENCE: Right
on, Brother, Amen.

-And I say if God's giving us
a message, we better hear it.

AUDIENCE: Praise Hallelujah.

-I didn't come here to listen
to Brother Halstrom testify.

I want to know who burned
the new science textbooks.

-I did.

-No, I did.

-No, I did.

-I did.

-I did.

-I did.

-I did.

-I was there too.

-So was I.

-It was me.

-No, I was there.

-[cacophony of admissions]

-[cacophony of admissions]

[doorknob rattling]

[breaking glass]

[school bell]

-Good morning.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I had some un-- where
is everyone today?

-There's some notes
on your desk, there.

-Josh, take your seat.

I just came to give you this.

-So you're all being kept
out of class by your parents.

It's just until
the next chapter.

-Great.

So this is how you're being
taught to resolve conflicts.

You just ignore it.

You ignore i and pray to
God that it goes away.

Josh, you're excused.

OK Let's get into exactly how
accurate ancient fossil records

are.

-(WHISPERED) Hi.

-Hi.

Protesting biology class too?

-Well, my dad is.

OK.

Me and my friend Shannon thought
maybe you and your friend Tom

might want to come over
to my house tonight.

Then we could study
the Bible together.

-You'd really want to do that?

-Sure.

I want you to teach me tonight.

-Yeah.

Sure.

I'll-- I'll find Tom
and see if he can go.

-It'll be great.

-So how come you
don't have a note?

-Hey, I'm just here to learn.

Nobody says I got to
believe it, right?

-Thank you.

-Do you believe in God?

-[laughs] Tom.

Scientists can believe in
God every bit as passionately

as you or Mr.
Crawford or the Pope.

The two are not
mutually exclusive.

-So why don't you
tell people that?

-Because I shouldn't have to
state my religious beliefs

in order to keep a
monkey out of my house.

-You got a point.

DOUG: (PREACHER IMITATION)
Hallelujah, brothers

and sisters.

What if I could prove it to you
that beyond a shadow of doubt

that God really existed?

-How you going to prove it?

-I can prove it.

-He's come by my house,
give me a call, what?

-I can prove it.

-Prove it.

-OK.

-When I was a little kid, I
was all alone in the bathroom.

-Oh, I don't want
to get into this.

-No, no, just listen.

Got the mirror in front of
me, and the mirror behind me

on the door.

And I'm looking
at the reflection

of the reflection of the
reflection, you know.

And I'm counting to
see how many there are.

When I get to, like,
the 33rd reflection,

way in the back, and
there's this little guy,

and he's waving back.

It's true.

-Thank you, Doug.

You-- you've helped
me tremendously.

-(SHOUTING) Hanson!

-I got another story.

-Go away.

-Well, you wanted--

-What?

More undisputable truth, Doug?

-Hey, I'm on a mission from God.

-You call this a report, Hanson?

B&E, arson, destruction
of public property,

vandalism, harassment.

No suspects.

-I told you it was
a weird situation.

-It looks very clear to me.

-Well, what do
you want me to do?

Lie to you?

-No.

I would like you
to make an arrest.

-Yeah?

Well, we're going to need
a whole lot of back-up.

-What does that mean?

-The whole town confessed.

-The whole town.

-Yes.

They all stood up, and any one
of them could have done it.

-Are you trying to
solve this case, Hanson?

-Yes.

Can I ask you a question?

-[slams hand down] Sure.

-Most of this community
believes in creation.

Shouldn't they be allowed
to decide for themselves

what they want to teach?

Even the President wants to
put prayer back in school.

-Look.

They want to change
the law, that's fine.

But they're not going to
do it by burning books.

Nor with mob fanaticism.

-You got a point.

-Look.

I know you're having
a hard time, Hanson.

Keep at it.

[doorbell]

-I'm not walking
into an ambush, am I?

-[scoffs] Come on.

-This is my fault.

I really want to apologize.

-I want to talk to you.

And I want you to
let me go straight

through without stopping me.

-I know.

Get off the soapbox
and come on back--

-Straight through.

More than half of your students
were kept out of class today.

Besides what's
happened to my home--

-I'm going to find out
who was responsible for--

-Straight through, Jim.

Fights are breaking out.

Parents are
threatening each other.

And no one is learning.

And it's only
going to get worse.

All because of a single two
week section of biology.

-No.

No, this goes far, far beyond
one single issue, LeeAnn.

The town is behind me.

I've just come from a meeting.

We are going to boycott store
owners that carry pornography.

-Great, let's add
censorship to the list.

-We're going to vote out
members of the school board

that stand against us.

-What?

The will of the people?

-We owe the children
that much, LeeAnn.

And I owe God at
least this much.

-Jim, what happened to you?

-I was cheating my family
and myself and God.

God took my son away from
me to get me on the path.

You can't know
what that was like.

[knocking]

-Hi guys.

-Hi.

-Come on in.

-Hi guys.

-Hello.

-You want some drinks?

Some potato chips?

-Eh.

-I'll have some soda.

CINDY: You're sure you don't
want something stronger, Cam?

-How about you, Tom?

-I'll have the same, thanks.

[soda opened]

-Cindy?

Where are your parents?

-Oh, they're at the movies.

They'll be back later.

It's I told them you were
coming over for Bible study.

-I brought my Bible.

-Oh, good.

Let me see it.

You know, my father gave
me a different Bible.

I'd like you to see it.

Come on upstairs.

I keep it by my bed.

We'll be right back.

-You know, I thought it was
real cool when you stood up

to speak in front of all
those people the other night.

-Well, I was very nervous.

-You know what?

Cindy's sister's
away at college.

Do you want to see her room?

It's real private.

-I'd like to, but-- but I'm
in training for a fight.

-And who're you going to fight?

-Satan.

-Cameron, what's your
favorite story from the Bible?

-Daniel in the lion's den.

-I like Samson and Delilah.

You know, I think it's real
interesting that there's so

many love stories in the Bible.

-It's to ward us
away from temptation.

-Haven't you ever been tempted?

I've seen you walk by my
window 20 times in one

night, watching me
get ready for bed.

-I did not.

-It's OK.

I like it.

-You do?

-Not with everybody.

But you're special.

You came back from the dead.

That kind of makes
you like Jesus.

It wouldn't be wrong for
you to touch me, would it?

-Kevin, what is wrong?

You haven't said a word
since we left Cindy's.

-My hand is dirty.

-What are you talking about?

Your hand's clean as a whistle.

-I never touched a girl before.

How can I be a vessel of
the Lord when I'm unclean?

-Cameron.

It's OK.

-It's not OK!

I've offended God.

He brought me back to teach
the path of righteousness.

And I've descended into hell.

-Cameron, you're only human.

You haven't done anything wrong.

-I betrayed the Lord.

A whip for the horse,
a bridle for the ass,

and a rod for the fool's back.

-Be you kind on to
another, tender-hearted,

forgiving one another, even
as God has forgiven you.

TOM: This is crazy.

The water's freezing!

-And whosoever toucheth her
bed, shall wash his clothes

and bathe himself in water
and be unclean until the even.

-It's going to be a
tough fight, but I

think we're off to a good start.

-We're going to do it, Jim.

-In two hours, the whole
town will be there.

-Hey, Tom.

Come on in.

-Hi, Mr. Crawford.

-Cameron's upstairs.

-Um, I came to see you.

-OK.

Should we go into the study?

-Sure.

Sir, this whole thing
has gone too far.

-What do you mean?

-Everybody's using Cameron
as a marching song.

And it's not fair to him.

-Tom, maybe you're a little
too young to understand this,

but what's happening
in this town is good.

Cameron has inspired
a lot of people

to stand up and
fight for the truth.

-What about Cameron's truth?

-I'm afraid I'm
not following you.

-He's 16 years old.

He's supposed to be
thinking about girls

and playing baseball,
not leading some crusade.

-Tom, this might be
difficult for a boy your age

to understand, but God has
a bigger plan for my son.

-Does he or do you?

-I don't think that's a very
fair thing to say to me, Tom.

-You're using him, Mr. Crawford.

-I'm sorry you feel that way.

Maybe when you're
a little older.

-I'm 23 years old.

-I see.

So just exactly what is your
business here, Officer Hanson?

-I'm here as Cameron's friend.

Last night, he was baptizing
himself in Renner's Pond,

because he felt unclean
for touching a girl.

He's not unclean.

He's normal.

Do you see what
you're doing to him?

-Officer Hanson, I
think you better leave.

-I'd like to see Cameron.

-I really wish you wouldn't.

-But he's still my friend.

-Oh my god, what are you doing?

You crazy?

-You cannot know the
mysteries of God.

I have seen them.

-This has to stop.

-I have to purify
myself for the rapture.

-No!

They're using you.

You don't have to do this.

-It's God's will.

That's why he made the miracle.

-It's no miracle.

It's happened before.

-No, it never happened.

-Yes, it has!

You're lucky to be alive.

Enjoy it.

You don't have to be a saint.

-Tom, I want you to
leave this house.

-Look at your son's
hand, Mr. Crawford.

-I said get out!

We've been told that
teaching the word of God

is against the law.

CROWD: It's you against the law.

-Not God's law.

MR. CRAWFORD: No, she's right.

It is against the law, and
so we've got to change it.

CROWD: Amen!

-The President of the United
States wants the law changed.

And many righteous
Americans stand behind it.

CROWD: Like us!

MR. CRAWFORD: We can
repetition the Supreme Court

and join the fight to
revoke this heresy.

CROWD: Hallelujah!

-But it'll take years.

By then, my children will
think they're monkeys.

-Yeah, we got to
do something now.

-Yeah, what about our children?

They need Jesus too.

CROWD: Hallelujah!

Absolutely, brother.

-We can't turn our backs
on our own children

while waiting to revoke
an immoral and unjust law.

CROWD: You're going too far!

MR. CRAWFORD: This
nation was founded

by men willing to
face that injustice

at their own personal peril.

I believe God sent
us this miracle

to give us the courage to stand
up and fight for the Bible.

CROWD: Hallelujah!

[cheers]

MR. CRAWFORD: Our children
can go into the school library

and check out this book, which
teaches them to lie, cheat,

back-talk and curse.

But you won't find one
single copy of the Holy Bible

in that same library.

-We need the Bible.

CROWD: Yeah!

-We ought to go
down to the school

and burn the rest of those
blasphemous science books.

CROWD: Yeah!

-Over my dead body!

-That can be arranged.

[cheers and cacophony]

[cheers and cacophony]

-That's enough.

You people could be
arrested for this.

Look, I don't know whether
it's right or wrong to teach

religion in schools.

But right now, you can't
because it's against the law.

CROWD: Right.

CROWD: Who is he?

-So is burning books.

-Who do you think you are?

CROWD: Yeah!

-I'm a police officer.

CROWD: A what?

-I've been put here undercover
to stop the burning of books.

CROWD: We don't want police.

-This stops now.

CROWD: We want religion.

-We got a miracle
that says differently.

Judas [inaudible].

-There was no miracle.

-You're talking
blasphemy, Officer.

The Lord sent us
a miracle to prove

that he is the creator of life.

-The Lord told you that?

-The proof is right before us.

-So the miracle was
your sign from God.

-Absolutely.

-And what made it a miracle?

-He raised my son from the dead.

-And that doesn't
happen very often?

-When is the last time
God raised the dead.

-So you're saying God doesn't
throw these miracles around all

the time?

-It tends to cheapen
them, Miss Wallace.

-Would you call it a
one in a million chance?

-No, I'd call it more
like one in a billion.

-Well, I hate to
disappoint you, but God

has done it three
times this winter.

-Liar.

MISS WALLACE: Got
the proof right here.

One schoolboy in Texas was
pulled from a frozen river,

dead for 25 minutes.

Another baby in Virginia, pulled
dead from a swimming pool.

Both are alive today.

-That has nothing
to do with this.

-It's a miracle, Mr. Crawford,
but a miracle of science.

Jim, you're a scientist.

You know this.

These children
experienced hypothermia.

Their organs were
partially frozen,

and the doctors were
able to revive them.

-No!

-You don't have to believe me.

Just read!

CROWD: [boos]

MISS WALLACE:
There are thousands

of miracles for
all of us to learn.

-The Lord has sent us a miracle.

My son is the proof.

CAMERON: I am the
miracle and the light.

-[gasps]

CROWD: Don't jump!

CROWD: Let him jump.

He's blessed.

CAMERON: I came back once
before, and can do it again.

-Cameron!

-I have the message.

Don't turn your backs.

-Tell him he's not a miracle.

Tell him.

-Cameron, come on down, son.

You don't have to
prove anything.

Come on down.

-Don't.

I'm not afraid.

TOM: Tell him, Crawford.

Tell him!

-I am innocent
before thee, oh King.

-Tell him he's got a right to be
a person, not your holy symbol.

Tell him it's OK to be himself.

-Please, son.

-God chose me to carry the word.

-Don't let him fall, Crawford.

Tell him it's OK.

He doesn't have to be a miracle.

-Cameron, listen to me.

I was wrong.

-God picked me.

-I was wrong!

-Don't say that.

-Cameron, please.

Come down.

I need you to be my son.

Cameron, please.

CROWD: [murmurings]

CROWD: Listen to your father.

-This is the history of
the heavens and the earth

when they were created
and the day the Lord Got

made the earth and the heavens.

Before any plant of the
field was in the ground,

and before any herb of
the field had grown.

For the Lord God had not
caused it to rain on the earth.

And there was no man
to till the ground.

But a mist went
up from the earth

and watered the whole
face of the ground.

The Lord God formed man
of the dust of the ground.

And he breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life.

And man became a living being.
