Stigmata Page #2

Synopsis: A priest from the Vatican is sent to Sao Paulo, Brazil to investigate the appearance of the face of the Virgin Mary on the side of a building. While there he hears of a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding tears in a small town outside of the city. Meanwhile, a young woman in the U.S. begins to show signs of stigmata, the wounds of Christ. The priest from the Vatican links up with her and cares for her as she is increasingly afflicted by the stigmata. Her ranting and raving finally begins to make sense to the priest who starts to question what his religion has stood for for the last 1900 years.

of the Causes of the Saints.

Yes, I'm very well aware of that, Daniel,

but as a scientist I observe the facts.

And the facts are that this statue

has tears of blood.

If that's the case,

you know the policy.

The statue is brought back to the Vatican.

We conduct expert tests.

Geologist, engineers, medical examiners.

We've examined 50 or 60 crying statues

in the last 12 months.

Not a single one of them has...

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I wanted you

to know that in my opinion

I think that this is different.

I won't allow you to go back to Brazil.

We'll send a geologist, and if he sees fit

we'll send the statue back for tests.

Father Dario, get me all the information

you can on this church in Belo Quinto.

Thank you, Andrew.

Thank you.

I have never seen him this way before.

Andrew's problem is he can't decide

if he's a scientist or a priest.

Frankie,

you are gonna drive yourself crazy.

No.

If you're worried about being pregnant,

let's go to the store and get a test.

- Give it a couple of days.

- Are you sure?

- I'm fine. Stop mothering me!

- All right, girlfriend. I'll call you later.

OK, bye. Drive safe.

- Late?

- Like a week.

- You're always late. There's nothing new.

- What if I'm bringing a person

- into this world?

- Frankie, you've got options.

Nurse, what's going on?

I don't understand.

- Get out of the way!

- Frankie, can you hear me?

I'm right here with you.

Let's go!

Why is there so much blood?

Get me a clamp right now.

All right, CBC, electrolytes,

UA, tox screen.

Get me a pulse box, stat!

- Get me a tox screen and a stat CT.

- Heart rate is irregular.

Blood pressure's off the map.

- Let's change cuffs.

- Where's the IV?

I'm calling it. Code blue.

Get the paddles. Get some gel.

OK, ready?

- Get the paddles.

- All right, clear.

Temperature and blood pressure

are back to normal.

- Who are you?

- I'm Dr Reston.

- Do you know what your name is?

- What happened?

- Where am I?

- You're in the emergency room.

You were found unconscious.

Do you remember anything?

No.

Jesus!

Can I get some more help over here?

We need some four-by-fours.

We have a very deep laceration here.

Oh, my God, it's gone right through.

Miss, you can't go in there.

Doctor, I just need to know what's...

She'll be fine.

Please have a seat. Thank you.

These are puncture wounds

caused by the entry of a sharp object.

Are you in any pain?

No. That's weird, isn't it?

Wow, will you look at that!

It only bleeds when I touch it.

Maybe you should not touch it.

Both wounds are identical.

The same size, same shape.

She missed the main artery

by less then a centimeter.

You keep saying "she". I didn't do this.
