NEWSCASTER (ON RADIO):
A private plane

carrying 10 passengers
and two crewmen

has disappeared in
a mountainous area

200 miles from Denver, Colorado.

The plane took off
during a thunderstorm,

rescue parties are
searching the region

but weather conditions are
making it very difficult.

The names of the passengers are
being withheld until relatives

can be notified.

In what appeared to be--

No wonder this
world is depressed.

I mean, this is the news.

You're supposed to learn
something from the news,

and all they tell
you is who died.

Then they want to
interview the relatives,

see how upset they are.

God forbid they should get
footage on a disaster site.

They show it 500 times
and in slow motion yet.

Come on, let's
listen to some music.

Hold on a second.

NEWSCASTER (ON
RADIO): An identified

Santa Claus has been
giving out money

and toys to adults and children
in many parts of the city.

The unknown Kringle claims
he is the real Santa Claus

and has decided
that one day a year

isn't enough time for giving.

And now the local weather,
partly cloudy Friday,

mostly clear Saturday.

At least the old kook
gave us some good news.

That's Harold.

What's Harold?

That old kook.

What, do you
think you know him?

I know I know him.

Where do you know him from?

From up there.

Up there?

You mean he's a--
- Yeah.

He's an angel Look,
do me a favor.

Get on the freeway and
take it to downtown.

That's where we'll find Harold.

Is he our next assignment?

No, that really, just kind
of an automatic with the boss.

Every time Harold
goes off the deep end,

we're supposed to get in
there and bail him out.

What did he do wrong?

He's just playing Santa Claus.

Mark, we're here to help
people help each other.

It's not just a giveaway
program, you know.

You'd think Harold
would learn that by now.

He's done this before, huh?

For 200 years.

You're kidding?

Why does the boss let
him get away with it?

Because he likes the guy.

To err is human, you know.

Well, Harold must
be quite a guy.

Oh, that he is.

Believe me, that he is.

[crowd clamoring]

There's plenty for all.

There's plenty for all.

Don't push each other.

There's plenty of time.

Here, let the ladies
get their share.

Take your time.

Take your time.

I don't believe it.

Good wine, too.

Are you sure?

Out of a hydrant?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Taste it.

It is.

And they put out
fires with that stuff?

Yeah.

I got to get me some.

HAROLD: There's plenty for all.

Take your time.

Ladies and gentlemen,
take your time.

Oh, oh, Harold, not again.

Now, relax, good people.

There's plenty for all of you.

Don't push each other.

Come in, young lady.

Get your share.

All right, Harold, let's go.

Oh, Jonathan, just a
few more minutes, please?

No, no more minutes.

Come on.

Let's go.

Harold, you know how
he feels about this.

What's wrong with turning
a little water into wine?

I mean, it's perfectly
acceptable for--

That was for an
entirely different reason

and you know it.

Now I want you to turn it off.

Come on, turn it off.

Hey, it stopped.

Maybe it's just plugged.

Anybody got a plunger?

It's stopped.

All right then.

Let's go.

All right.

Harold, I just can't
believe you'd do that.

I just wanted
to see them happy.

Yeah, well,
that's not the way.

I mean, drinking is
part of the problem,

not part of the solution.

But what else have they got?

Everybody complains
about their drinking,

but they don't do anything to
give them a reason to stop.

Well, then that's what you
should be working on, getting

people together to help.

Well, I'm not good at that
sort of thing, Jonathan.

You know that.

Well, that's why
we're here, to help.

Harold, meet Mark Gordon.

Hi.

You an angel?

Far from it.

Cute, Jonathan.

Let's go, Harold.

[music playing]

Oh, Harold, come on.

You know that I'm right.

Do you realize there is no
angel in the core that's

been on probation
as long as you have?

Every time it looks like
you're going to make it,

you pull a stunt
like you did today.

I know, but I
just can't help it.

I like to see people happy.

Well, so do I, but
for the right reasons.

You don't understand.

Oh, Harold, I think
I understand very well.

All you're concerned about
is that people like you,

whether what you do for them
is right or wrong is secondary.

What's wrong with
wanting to be liked?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Plenty.

Look, suppose you're a
parent and you want your kids

to like you, what do you do?

You just give them everything?

Do you?

No, because it wouldn't
be good for them.

You know, he's
got a point there.

But I don't just
give them everything.

I give a little something
to people who have nothing.

And the next day,
their lives are

just the way they were before.

Harold, you can't change people
by just giving them things.

What they need is love
and understanding.

That's the kind
of help they need.

I know you're right,
but I just don't

know how to give those things.

I couldn't when I was
alive, and I can't now.

I spent my whole life alone.

I mean, I'd go work
at my trade and then

I'd go home, make supper, go to
bed, and then go back to work.

I really never knew anyone,
and then I was dead.

And I don't belong in this job.

Well, the boss
must think you do

or you wouldn't still be at it.

But I'm always making
such a mess of things.

Look, I've got some
assignments coming up,

why don't we all work
on them together?

Maybe that way you'll sort
of get the hang of it.

You know, you may be right.

I'm beginning to
feel better already.

When do we start?

First thing tomorrow morning,
and no Santa Claus suit, OK?

OK.

Yeah.

OK, here's the address.

This isn't a tough one.
You won't have any trouble.

Don't worry.

I don't know, Jonathan.

I never worked an
assignment alone before.

Oh, come on,
you're ready for it.

I got to keep an eye on
Harold and this ought

to be taken care of right away.

This Mrs. Caldy is an
old lady, and she's

feeling real depressed.

Just go on over there,
see what's wrong,

see if there's
anything you can do.

You sure I can handle it?

Hey, I guarantee it.

I got to stay with Harold, make
sure he stays on the straight

and narrow.

Oh, I think he
understands after the talk

you gave him last night.

- Oh, really?
- Oh, yeah.

Yeah?
Take a look.

Hold it, Harold.

What's with the outfit?

Well, you know.

No, I don't know.

What's with the outfit?

Kids like clowns.

It's just that--

Harold, do you
remember last night?

Yeah.

I remember.

I just don't think people
are going to like me if--

Harold, no Santa,
no clown, just Harold.

OK.

OK.

See what I mean?

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Hello?

Miss Caldy?

Yes.

Have you come about my Sadie?

Sadie?

Yes, my dog.

I put a poster in the market
on the bulletin board.

Oh, I see.

You haven't come
about Sadie, have you?

Well, yes, as a
matter of fact, I have.

- You found her?
- No.

No.

I saw your poster, and I just
wondered if I might help look.

Oh my.

My--

I'm sorry, ma'am, did I
say something to upset you?

Oh, no, no, you didn't.

It's just that
you're being so kind.

Oh, please, do come in.

Thank you.

What's your name, young man?

Mark Gordon.

Well, let me tell you, there
aren't many people that would

worry about an old lady's dog.

It's my pleasure.

Do you have a picture of her?

Oh, everywhere you look,
on the walls, the tables.

She's a PM, as you can see.

PM?

Yes, pure mutt.

Smart as whip though.

I can't understand
how she disappeared.

I keep praying it wasn't a
coyote or something like that.

I have awful dreams about that.

How long she'd been missing?

Three weeks tomorrow.

I didn't realize
how much that dog

meant to me until she was gone.

Oh, I knew I loved
her, but you just

never realize until
something like this happens.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, if I could have
one of these pictures,

you know, I could
have some copies made

and spread them around.

Oh, certainly.

Did she have a caller on?

No.

I took it off to bath her.

That's why I feel
it was my fault.

Come on, it's nobody's
fault. Now the important thing

is that you don't give up hope.

You keep trying.

Yes, I know.

God bless you.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

You know, if I still
had my clown suit on,

I'd be making those
children laugh now.

I'd make them laugh.

I'd make toys out of balloons
and give them surprises.

Harold, we got some
important work to do.

What is it?

To stop somebody
from making the biggest

mistake of their life.

What, what, what
kind of mistake?

Selling stolen goods.

Oh my.

[dog whining]

Hey, Harold!

Come on, let's go, huh?

Oh, yes.

Yes.

I'll give you $100 for the
bracelet, $10 for the radio.

It must be worth
more than that.

You don't know
what they're worth,

that's why you take what I give
you or you go somewhere else.

What about the stamps?

Darling, I don't know from
stamps except to mail a letter.

They're worth nothing to me.

$110 and that's it.

Please, senor, I--

I have a chance to
bring my children here.

I have not seen
them in three years.

I have to have $500.

Well, work more or steal
more, because you're $390 short.

You think on it.

What can I do for you?

I'm just looking around.

That's cool.

Perhaps you could help me?

What you need?

I'm a philatelist.

What?

A stamp collector, a broker.

Do you have anything?

Hold on, let me look.

Let me see this book, Mama.

You keep thinking now.

Don't do it, Rosa.

You have respect where you work.

I know things have been
hard, but this isn't the way.

Who are you?

I'm a friend.

Please, don't tell.

I promise I put
these things back.

I didn't mean to.

I know.

It's all right, I know.

Nothing, huh?

On the contrary.

They're quite valuable.

Come on.

Like what?

I'll pay you $200.

No kidding?

This book's worth $200?

No, this stamp is.

And this one, $300, maybe $400.

Hold on a second.

Mama, I've had a
change of heart.

I'll give you $500 for the lot,
bracelet, radio, stamp book.

I'm sorry.

I cannot.

Hold on now.

Look it, I'll give you
$500 just for the stamps.

$500?

Right.

All right, OK.

I'll get your money.

Keep looking, sir.

I'll be right with you.

OK.

All right, Harold,
what's going on.

Nothing.

Don't give me that.

I saw you talking to the
clerk about the stamps.

Oh, I merely said that
I was interested in them.

What did you say
to him, Harold?

That they were
worth a lot of money.

But they're not.

Jonathan, that
poor woman wouldn't

be selling stolen goods
if crooks like Marvin

didn't buy them.

She's desperate.
He's not.

I just talked that woman
out of making the biggest

mistake of her life and you just
turned the whole thing around.

Jonathan, you're wrong--

- Out.
- Jonathan--

Out.

OK, $100, $200,
$300, $400, and $500.

Gracious.

Rosa, don't do it.

Now, it's not too late.

You can give the money back.

It's all right.

The stamps, they
were my father's.

I never thought they
were worth anything.

Tonight, I will thank
my father in my prayers.

He bring my children to me.

Vaya con dios.

Hey, where's that other
dude who was in here?

I don't know.

Wasn't he with you?

I never saw him
before in my life.

[dogs barking]

Where, where are they going?

Vivisection.

Oh.

They can't keep in
the shelter forever.

Now at least this way
they'll help others.

The rest of the ones
inside get the gas.

But why?

Because people don't
care, that's why.

You know, most of
the dogs in there

got dumped because
people got tired of them.

All right, let's go, Charlie.

[dogs barking]

You're still angry?

No, I'm not angry.

Look, I'm not saying
what you did was right,

but it wasn't so wrong either.

Then I did OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, you did OK.

Come on, let's see
how Mark's doing.

Oh, I almost forgot something.

I'll be right back.

Well, he's doing better.

He's bending the
rules a little bit,

but he's not breaking them.

I think if he sticks
with me for a while--

[dogs barking]

How did you get
that cage open?

It just opened.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

What's the use?

How did you get the
cage open, Harold?

How?

You know how.

I couldn't help it.

Harold, I know how you feel.

I feel the same way, but we got
to get the people to change.

We have to get them to care.

I mean, you can't go around just
letting all the dogs run loose.

They'll starve to death.

You know I'm right.

I know.

That's the trouble.

I know what's right, it
just doesn't seem right.

If you could have
seen their faces

when I opened that cage, they--

They liked you.

They maybe even loved me.

Let's go see how
mark's doing, OK?

OK.

OK.

[music playing]

Hey, Mark?

How's it going?

Not so good.

Old lady lost her dog.

It ran off.

Spent the day putting up
posters but, you know,

it's been three weeks.

I don't think there's much hope.

Mr. Gordon?

Have you found out
anything about my Sadie?

No, I didn't,
but you never know.

Oh, these are my friends
Harold and Jonathan.

Oh, how do you do?

How are you?

I put pictures up everywhere.

If anybody in this
area sees your dog,

you're going to know about it.

Oh, thank you.

I don't think I'll
ever see her again,

but it meant a lot to me to
know that somebody cares.

Remember what I said
about not giving up hope.

Yes, I know.

But I've prayed every minute
since she disappeared.

If God had wanted it to be,
it would have happened by now.

Maybe he's too busy to worry
about an old woman's dog.

[barking]

Those are the
dogs from the pound.

I thought you were downtown.

We were.

That's 40 miles from here.

You talk about a miracle.

Yeah, well, a miracle
for her dog maybe.

What about the other seven dogs?

Speaking for the dogs, I
just soon take my chances.

Oh, you're a big
help, you know that?

You're really a big help.

MARK: Oh, those dogs are
going to love it there.

I mean, isn't that a sweet
lady taking them all in.

What's the next assignment?

JONATHAN: I don't know yet,
but whatever it is we're

going to go about
it the right way.

No more breaking the rules.

Is that understood, Harold.

HAROLD: Anything
you say, Jonathan.

First and 10, Wilson is back.

Lots of time.

Tries to get it to Mark LaSell.

And almost intercepting
was Gary Green.

It is incomplete.

Let's take a look at the replay.

Now you can see here, Allen
slips out of the backfield.

Wilson's looking
for the open man.

The defense though
has them covered.

Come on, I can't stand it.

Is that your favorite team?

Favorite?

It's the only team.

They used to be in Oakland.

Oh, God, let them score.

Look, Harold, I know it's
not right to interfere

in the game this this, but
do you think you could--

Mark.

You think you can make
this picture come in clearer?

JONATHAN: You weren't going
to say that and you know it.

Yes, I was.

Listen, I swear to--

You swear to what?

To the hair on my
chinny-chin-chin.

Oh, come on, Jonathan.

Don't give me that,
oh, come on, Jonathan.

I can't believe you'd
try something like that.

It's because you're
not from Oakland.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV): Let's
take a look at that.

Right here you can see 76
had Wilson in his grasp

and lost it.

He's running for the sidelines.

He spots Allen down the
middle, lays it in, perfect.

And the great running
back does the rest.

All right, Harold.

All right.

All right, Harold, that's it.

I'm telling you, that's it.

Jonathan, I had
nothing to do with that.

I thought you knew
me better than that.

Oh, really?

Yes, really.

I'm from Philadelphia.

Hey, Harold, I want
you to stay out here.

But I thought that we were--

I know what you thought.

I got to be honest
with you, Harold,

I just can't trust
you on this one.

Oh, I see.

Maybe the next one.

Harold, he didn't
mean anything by that.

Oh, that's all right, Mark.

He's right, you know.

I probably would just have
made a mess of things anyway.

Reverend Blake?

Yes?

I'm Reverend Smith.

You've wasted a trip
down here, Reverend.

And my decision is final.

But why?

Why do you want to
leave the church?

You're a strong influence here.

People need you.

No, they don't.

They need miracles, and
I can't supply those.

Why would they send you
down here in the first place

to talk to me?

I don't know what you mean.

I'm sure you don't.

I'm sure you don't know
what it's like down here.

I buried a 14-year-old
boy today, shot and killed

on the street corner.

I knew that boy.

He came to church every
Sunday with his mom.

He stands on the corner with 20
others, and out of all of them,

he's killed.
Why?

Can you answer me that?

No, I can't.

Well, I can't either.

Oh, he's not the first
boy I've buried here,

but he will be my last.

But things can change.

It takes men like you to
help make those changes.

It takes men like you.

Men who still believe.

I don't believe
anymore, Reverend.

I've seen too much, too
much pain, too much killing.

You know what it's like to stand
up in front of a congregation

and preach the word of
the Lord, and all the time

you don't believe?

We all have our faith
tested, you know that.

I can't pass the test anymore.

And I don't need some white man
to come down here from uptown,

pat me on my head,
and say believe

just because I'm a reverend.

I'm just a person.

I got fears.

I got anger.

I got frustration.

I'm not some, some miracle
worker on television.

I'm just a minister who has to--

who has to watch young boys
die day in and day out.

And do you know why they died?

Because they don't give
a damn about living.

Well, then help
them to give a damn.

Without people like you,
nothing's going to change.

I've been here 15 years.

Nothing's changed.

Go back where you
come from, Reverend.

You don't belong down here.

Oh, yes, I do, Reverend.

Believe me, I do.

Reverend?

I've been sitting
here praying to God

that He'd show me a way, that
He'd give me a sign, something.

Don't stop praying, Reverend.

[music playing]

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

Everything.

There's a perfectly
good man in there

who's been pushed to
the breaking point

and there's not
a thing I can do.

Why?

Because I can't
give his faith back.

Can you use a little stuff?

I can only do
what he lets me do.

Besides, faith isn't
tricks or gimmicks.

It's what's inside.

You're not giving
up on him, are you?

No.

I'm not giving up.

I just wish I had
some help on this one.

Where's Harold?

He's over there with the kids.

Feeling kind of bad.

He's not the only one.

Hey, Harold?

Come on, let's go.

I'll be right there.

Well, is that it?

We want one.

Where's your money?

Don't have any.

Well, then you can't have any.

We'll have it tomorrow.

We're bringing in some cans.

Well, then get me tomorrow.

Everybody's got
one except for us.

Yeah.

One more time.

They're good boys.

[ice cream truck jingle]

Say, young fellows,
look over there.

Oh, let's go.

[laughs]

Hey!

Hey, you kids!

[laughs]

[brakes screeching]

[crash]

Oh, my god.

I never saw the boy.

I never saw him.

Get an ambulance.

[suspenseful music]

Dr. Davis?

Yes?

The little black boy,
is there any change?

No.

I'm sorry.

I know.

It's all my fault.

I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

It is my fault.

Harold, what happened to
that boy was an accident.

But I caused it.

Jonathan, I don't
want to be an angel.

I don't deserve to be.

He thinks you do.

Then he's wrong.

Oh, come on, Harold,
you don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

I've asked him a thousand
times to let me go.

I always knew that someday
something like this

would happen.

Why didn't he listen to me?

Why?

I don't know.

What I do know is you
can't question Him.

Why?

Because he's God?

Yes.

Well, God is not responsible
for that boy lying in there.

I am.

But if He had listened
to me in the first place,

it wouldn't have happened.

Well, it's not going
to happen again.

Harold, wait.

Where are you going?

To His house.

I know now what I have
to do to stop this.

Goodbye, Jonathan.

What's he going to do?

I'm not sure.

I'll be back.

[music playing]

I've spoken to
you a lot of times.

Maybe you heard me,
maybe you didn't.

But you're going to
hear me this time.

You know, you're up there
where everything's just dandy.

Well, it's not
that way down here.

I see things day in
and day out, things

that make me sick inside.

Old people nobody
cares about, people

lying in alleys and doorways,
children dying of disease

because the money
to find a cure is

being spent on making weapons
to kill other children,

and that's wrong.

What happened today is
wrong, and You let it happen.

When I was alive, I used to hear
people say, if there was a God,

he wouldn't let this happen.

I know now that there is a
God, and still it happens.

Why?

Why does it happen?

And don't give me that
don't question business.

I've been working at
this for 200 years now.

Maybe I've made a lot
of mistakes, but I try.

And I have a right to know.

You're God.

People need you down here.

God, where are you?

Where are you?

Where are the people?

Jonathan, leave me
alone with Him, please?

Not until you
answer my question.

What question?

Where are the people?

I mean, all I've
heard you ask was

what's God been doing lately.

What about his people?

What about his children?

What, are they supposed to
just sit back and wait for God

to take care of everything?

Why not?

He's God.

If I was God, I would.

You hear me?

I would.

And you're wrong, and I
don't love you anymore,

and I don't want a
place in your heaven.

I don't.

I don't.

Jonathan, why
can't he let me go?

I've killed that boy.

Why can't he let me go?

Oh, God, forgive me.

I didn't mean all those things.

I just want to be like go.

Why did you come to
this church, Harold?

Of all the churches,
why this one?

I don't know.

I just did.

You were here today?

That's right.

I came to talk to a man who
lost his faith, his strength.

He's the father of that boy.

That's right.

He's at his bedside right now.

He's trying to go thorough it
alone, Harold, and he's afraid.

He needs help.

Help him, Harold.

Go to him.

But he's your
assignment, you said so.

Not anymore.

He's your assignment now.

I don't want it.

I don't want you
to give it to me.

I didn't give
it to you, Harold.

I didn't give it to you.

[music playing]

Jonathan, I'm afraid.

Join the club.

[music playing]

Doctor, I didn't
hear you come in.

I didn't want to disturb you.

I thought you
might be in prayer.

No, Doctor, prayer
isn't what my son needs.

Does that surprise you
hearing me say that?

Why, because
you're a minister?

Yes.

No, it doesn't surprise me.

Things happen to all of us in
our lives that test our faith.

A minister, after all,
is still only human.

You sound religious, Doctor.

I am.

Yeah, well, that surprises
me after all you've seen.

It's for that very
reason I am religious.

I've seen miracles.

Don't give me that
God stuff today, Doctor.

My son is lying half
dead in that bed,

and my wife's in the
next room sedated

so she can't cry
in agony anymore,

and you're telling me about God?

I don't have to
tell you about God.

You felt Him before
in your life.

It was a long time ago.

If you felt Him once,
you can feel Him again.

Would it hurt to
pray for your son?

I can't.

You don't understand.

I don't believe anymore.

I want to, but I don't.

Then tell Him that.

Be honest with Him.

What more could He ask?

I can't.

HAROLD: Why?

Because I'm afraid.

As a friend of mine
once said, join the club.

I, uh, been afraid
to speak with you

because I feel what
happened to my boy

is my fault because
I denounced you.

I only ask that you
give him a chance.

He's a wonderful boy filled
with love and kindness.

The world needs
children like him.

Please?

Father, please, don't
take him from us.

Please?

Doctor?

Doctor?

Doctor?

- What's wrong?
- My boy is awake.

He's all right.

I think he's all right.

Nurse, nurse, get
my wife, please?

[music playing]

I'd like to have seen
old Harold one more time.

Yeah, me too.

Must have got his
prayer answered.

It's about time.

200 years is a long stretch
to be working the same job.

Yeah, speaking of time,
ah, nut's, it's already on.

- What?
- The lottery.

They spin the big wheel today.

I want to see if anybody
wins that $3 million.

Gambling.

Come on, you really think
the boss approves of that?

Come on, Jonathan,
these are people.

They're human.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO):
Around it goes.

There it is.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): Around.

It looks like $10,000.

No wait, it jumped--

yes, $3 million.

Congratulations, Harold,
you're the big winner

in the state lottery.

Oh, what a lucky guy.

I mean, $3 million.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): Harold,
what are you going to do

now that you're a millionaire?

HAROLD (ON RADIO):
I'm going to give

it away to people who need it.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): You're
going to give some of it

to charity?

HAROLD (ON RADIO): No, I'm
going to give all of it.

ANNOUNCER (ON RADIO): All of it?

Why would you do that?

HAROLD (ON RADIO): Because
I like to make people happy.

I like them to like me.
