- DirectorBob QuinnStarsDonal McCannMargaret FeganPeadar LambAt his house, the bishop reads from an advance copy of a novel "Budawanny: A Bishop's Tale" by Thomas Connor, with a statement on the flap saying that it is now a major film. He writes to the author telling him he has no need to read it. The bishop asserts that his job is to make religion work. The bishop recollects that the story is as old as the hills. A young woman, Marian, arrives at a pier and enquires of two boatmen whether the priest is on the nearby island. Marian "falls" from the boat and is brought to the priest's house. At the priest's house, she is ill and is cared for by a doctor and the priest. While saying mass, the priest remembers a meeting with the woman. Marian recovers and begins to take on the role of housekeeper. When pressed by the priest about what happened on the boat, Marian says that she panicked, though they both recall their earlier liaison. Meanwhile, the bishop asserts the primacy of the rules of religion in a letter to the priest. At the priest's house during a night time storm, Marian comes to the priest's bedroom and they embrace. The couple are observed being intimate on a beach by the sacristan. Later, the sacristan arrives drunk at the priest's house and gives money to the priest to say mass for him. Marian tells the priest that she is pregnant, while the sacristan, arriving at the house, overhears the conversation. The priest fantasies that the bishop will accept his having the child. At mass, the priest announces that soon they'll have another reason to call him Father and that he intends to look after the woman and child. On hearing this statement, the publican rings the bishop. As the priest and Marian are intimate by the fire, the bishop rings, summoning the priest to see him. While the priest is away, Marian is refused service by the publican. At the bishop's house, the priest is criticized for making such a statement from the pulpit, while he counters that Christ would have done the same. On his return to the island, he is met at the quayside by Marian who is leaving the island. Told that there has been an accident, the priest finds that the sacristan has committed suicide. At home, the priest reads a note from Marian which declares that it is her life also. The bishop reflects on the events and tells his secretary merely to acknowledge the receipt of the book. Above all, he thinks, he needs to be prudent.
- DirectorArmand MastroianniStarsAntonio Sabato Jr.Janine TurnerRobert WagnerThe seven American lawyers hired by Australian media magnate Jack Doulan, whose company rivals Albert Teal's Digicron for preponderance on the world market of telecommunications, are suddenly struck during a video conference in Seattle by an incredibly fast-working virus which wipes out everyone on their floor. Dr. Nick Baldwin, a brilliant virologist who works as an 'insubordinate' ambulance technician after being fired for failing to observe procedure, is first on the site and points out to US Army disease specialist Dr. Samantha Carter, who told him there were deaths in several other cases but never a trace of the virus, his ambulance has taken a survivor to his hospital; her therapeutic incompetence gets the patient killed, him assigned as temporary consultant to her army research unit- even there computer model operator Darren is killed by the virus, which also strikes at other sites in and around Seattle, notably at places where Digicron's 500 TV channels setup box is being tested. Nick realizes the survivors had eye diseases, so the otherwise non-contagious, short-living virus probably enters via the eyes; the common link seem to be TV screens, and as soon turns out Digicron black boxes. Their next theory is that a computer virus may have evolved into a deadly organic virus. Samantha and Nick must then prevent Digicron's box being sold to the general public in vast numbers, according to the company's Barnum-marketing starting in only two days, but CEO Teal refuses to believe them. Behind his back they find out his most recently promoted VP, Ned Henderson, is the brilliant programmer who must know about the computer virus, but Doulan is also after him to beat Teal at his own game, and Henderson has a deep-rooted frustration inspiring his own agenda...
