Monica and Tess find
themselves caught in the middle of a bank holdup. JACKSON (Jeff Nordling), the
arrogant and brilliant stick-up man, holds Monica and a very pregnant ALISON
(Lisa Jane Persky) hostage, as he forces the president of the bank, MAX
CHAMBERLAIN (Jack Scalia) into the vault. But when an earthquake shakes the
building, Monica, Max and Alison are locked into the vault. Jackson insists on
freeing them--Alison is his wife. Max was closing the bank; they were about to
lose their insurance and a desperate Jackson was targeting Max in revenge.
Inside the vault, Monica reveals herself to the unborn child in Alison's womb,
reassuring him that the world is not to be feared; that God will watch over him.
The metaphor stands for the bank as well, when the vault door swings open,
Jackson cannot shoot Max as planned, for Max is carrying out Alison, and Monica
is carrying out Jackson's son. Rescue workers open the bank entrance and the
little group trapped within, like the infant, emerge into the world.
