a god from the machine

a god from the machine
(a god from (или out of) the machine)
неожиданная благополучная развязка [букв. бог из машины; этим. лат. deus ex machina; в античной трагедии развязка иногда наступала благодаря вмешательству какого-л. бога, появлявшегося на сцене при помощи механического устройства]

He, Hal Warner, would play the god out of a machine in this case, and in several others equally pitiful. (U. Sinclair, ‘King Coal’, book IV) — Он, Хэл Уорнер, сыграет в этом случае и в ряде других, не менее трагических, роль доброго провидения.
