Due South (1994) s04e10 Episode Script

Say Amen

- How 'bout those special effects? That spaceship flew over, I thought I was getting a brushcut.
That might be an improvement.
So, what did you think? - I thought it was non-stop, mindless violence.
Everything a movie should be.
- I was quite drawn to the costumes.
- Costumes? - And the emotional landscape painted by the acting was delicious.
- Acting? They could have been robots.
- They were playing robots.
What did you think? - Well, you know, Ray, I couldn't hear.
But it was a huge sound, Fraser.
- My ears are somewhat more attuned to the silence of a northern forest.
- You're living in a city, Fraser, come on, adjust.
I'll try, Ray.
Look at that, still at it.
I bet they didn't see five minutes of the movie.
- There's something to be said for young love.
- Yeah, it sucks.
- I think it's beautiful.
- How would you know? - Don't worry, I'll make it.
Hmm - I agree.
- What? - Well, that man, he seems to be taking an undue interest in that young couple.
- He's probably a security guard.
Takes them for shoplifters.
- They don't look like shoplifters, Ray.
- Well, he's a security guard, and that's sort of like a cop.
He's got instincts, and, you know, he thinks it's a cover and they're shoplifting.
- You know, I'm a police officer, and I have instincts, and my instincts tell me they're not in a store and there's nothing to steal.
Ah, good point taken.
They're on their way out.
- Fraser, car's this way.
Fraser? I believe he's following his instincts.
They're outside.
Let's go.
- See? The guy's gone the other way.
- Apparently, they were unrelated.
Let's go.
It's cold out here.
- Ray.
- No! - Now, get in the car.
- No, leave me be! Hey, leave her alone! Ah! - Davie! Davie! Davey! Eloise! Eloise! Eloise Easy, son, calm down.
They got Eloise! - That's all right, we'll get her back.
- Eloise what? What's her last name? - I don't know! I just love her! Beautiful.
OK, OK, you love her, but you don't know her last name.
How's that work? We met at the mall last week.
- Last week.
So this is long term.
You think this is funny, man? - No, but it would help if we knew something about her.
- We met at the mall last week, went out twice.
She was just From the first time I met her, I knew she was the one.
You know what I mean, she was special.
No one ever let me feel like that, never.
- Love at first sight.
- Romeo and Juliet.
Tristan and Isolde.
- Abbott and Costello.
- He's talking about love at first sight, which does happen.
Happened to me.
- That's a crock.
Lust at first sight, maybe, but love no, never happens.
- I'd have to agree with the lieutenant.
What we refer to as love at first sight is actually just a combination of chemical reactions triggered by pheromonal stimulation.
Say what? It's about how you smell.
- Oh, God, that is so cynical and and so wrong.
I mean Fraser, what do you think? Well, there was a lot happening, and the boy was holding onto the bumper, which partially obscured the licence plate, but I do know it was a white, and the first three letters of the plate were H-A-P.
- OK, well, I'll just go check that out then.
But I do think it happens.
- Do you have any proof of that, Constable? - He was willing to lay down his life for her.
- Yeah, I know it sounds, like, really ridiculous, but she never really talked a lot about herself.
- You don't know where she lives, or who her parents are, where she works or goes to school - I know she was unhappy, man.
She never really liked her life much.
- Unhappy, is that all she talked about? - No.
We talked, all right, all the time.
- About? - Well, about us, about the future.
- Well, the thing is, you really can't love someone until you know them.
Sure you can.
The hard thing is to love them after you know them.
- OK, looks like I got three possible matches here, Frase.
- A dentist in Bellwood, a plumber in Park Ridge and the Unfettered Evangelical Church of the Holy Bible.
Holy rollers.
- Well, actually, sir, the term holy rollers properly refers to the evangelical Pentecostals of the 19th century.
- Whatever, it's still just a lot of yelling and jumping around.
Anything else to help identify her? She's pretty, she's got a great voice, and she's got a great southern accent.
There's the car.
Uh, sir, sir, you needn't - No, Fraser, I've been behind a desk too long.
This is exactly what I need, field work.
It gets the blood pumping.
- Same car? - Very possibly, Ray, these hand prints may well have been made by Davie as he was dragged all over hell's half acre.
- Exactly.
- Hey back of the line.
- Diefenbaker, I think you should probably stay here.
No, it's not discrimination, it's Health regulations.
Health regulations.
I do believe Yes I do believe in Jesus I do believe I do believe I believe I do believe It's a very interesting example of ecclesiastical archi Inspector, are you all right? I don't know, I feel kind of tingly.
Tingly, sir? Flushed.
My knees feel kind of weak.
Oh, my God, she's alive.
I do believe I do believe I do believe I believe I do believe I believe I believe I believe Yeah yeah yeah I do believe in miracles I do believe Yeah yeah Thank you.
That was beautiful.
A special thank-you to our guest.
We always have a place here for another beautiful voice.
I do believe.
- Brothers and sisters, lift your voices, lift your voices and praise the lord.
- So maybe we should come back later.
- Actually, I think the administrative offices are right through there.
Someone may know about the car.
Praise him with joy.
Put it there.
Welcome.
Welcome to the Unfettered Evangelical Church of the Holy Bible.
Thank you.
- Churches make me nervous.
- That's an odd reaction.
- Well, I'm more of a human-sacrifice kind of guy.
Oh, yeah.
- Lift your voices.
Let him hear you.
Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray.
- What? - It's this way.
Oh.
- We can move mountains.
We can heal the sick.
We can live miracles.
You know you know there are people who think that miracles are nothing but old stories from the Bible.
God bless you.
Well, thank him kindly.
- Well, we can always use more volunteers.
- My dad said never volunteer for nothing.
Uh, Chicago PD.
- Miracles are proof of his love and charity.
Oh I am sorry.
I thought you were here to help with the collection.
Collection? From our radio audience.
They like to contribute to the ministry, so we have phone volunteers to help take those donations.
Um it makes them feel like they're actually here at the service.
- Miracles are ours for the asking.
- You own that white Cadillac out there? - Well, the church owns a number of vehicles.
- We have reason to believe that a young woman may have been abducted by men who were driving that particular car.
Well, this is a church, uh Constable, is it? - Yes, my name is Constable Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
I - Ah, ah, ah I'm sorry.
- We don't go around abducting people.
- Oh, that's a commendable policy.
- Well, she's a young girl, about 5'3", she's really, really beautiful, got long, blonde hair, and there's something about her she's special.
- You know her? - I love her.
OK, whatever.
The point of the fact of the deal is, we must find the car's driver.
- Well, I don't imagine anybody was, Detective, as we're having a service.
- Let him hear your voice, and God I do believe in miracles I do believe - OK, do you have a record? A vehicle log? Anything like that? - No.
Would you mind if we just had a look-see? - Well, this is private property, Constable.
But we don't have anything to hide.
I'd be happy to Hey, hey! There he is! Hey! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! - Chicago PD! Up against the wall.
Come on! Addie? Yes, ma'am.
- You know this man? - He's one of our larger assistants.
- Assistant? He just kidnapped a girl off Maitland Street.
- Eloise.
Yeah, Eloise! If you hurt her, man Eloise is my daughter.
I do believe in miracles I do believe Yes I do believe She is blessed by the lord.
She can perform miracles.
I do believe in miracles I do believe I do believe I believe I do believe - Here's your statement.
Read it and sign it.
OK, so you had no idea she knew this guy that put her in the car? - I'm telling you, I never seen him before.
- She never mentioned him? - Uh-uh.
- OK, this is your permanent address, right? Yeah.
Forget it.
All right, let me get this straight.
The guy Addie, his name's Addie.
- OK, Addie.
When Addie put you in the car, it was of your own free will? - Well, I wanted to stay with Davie, but it was time for the service.
He came to get me.
It's his job.
He's not in any trouble, is he? Kind of like him, huh? I know it's wrong.
No, it's not wrong.
I mean, you know, he seems like a nice-looking guy, kind of sweet.
It's wrong for me.
I belong to God.
What do you mean? Like a nun, or something? - I've been blessed.
I can heal the sick.
Really? I mean, for real? Not, you know, fake, or magic or something? I can do it.
Wow.
That's great! No no, it isn't.
I mean, I know it's a gift and all, but to be perfectly honest, it's real hard.
I don't have much of a life of my own, and I thought, with Davie I don't know why God gives me these feelings if they're so wrong.
- Well, couldn't you just, you know, heal people and have a boyfriend, too? I have to be pure.
Oh Oh.
Wow, ha That's, uh, that's really too bad.
I - I should never have talked to him.
Gotten to know him.
Then this wouldn't be so hard.
Have you, um known very many guys? - I've been raised up in a church all my life.
He's the only one.
- Yeah, that's what I kind of thought.
She confirms his story.
- That's good.
So you can let us all go now, Lieutenant? - Yeah.
Take them outside and finish the paper work.
- You're lucky we don't sue you for false arrest.
- I saw him grab your daughter, Reverend.
He did not do it in a friendly manner.
- Addie takes his responsibility very seriously.
- Perhaps a little too seriously.
You might speak to him about that.
- Eloise is a headstrong young girl.
She needs a firm hand.
- Kid's in the washroom.
Let's get a coffee.
You believe this? I was just talking to the guy at the radio station that runs the church service.
Did you know that they get over a million listeners every week? - Unfiltered Church of the Holy Bible gets a million listeners? Unfettered.
- Unfettered, unfiltered, whatever.
A million listeners.
Each one of those guys phones in for a buck, that's a million dollars a week.
That's a scam.
- Not everyone will phone in, though.
- They wouldn't be listening if they're not going to phone in.
- Not necessarily.
Ever watch PBS? They never get phone-ins.
- Addie's a known felon.
Three assault convictions in Mississippi.
A long time ago, Detective.
Addie has been with us from the very beginning of our ministry.
One of our first converts.
Sometimes lost sheep make the most fervent believers.
- And sometimes people who like to hit they just like to hit.
- OK, let's say half of them phone in, right? Just for two bucks.
That's still a million bucks.
If half, each give, what, 10 bucks? That's $5 million.
That's not bad.
- See, religion is the way to go.
Go? - Yeah, think about it, you and I aren't going to be cops forever.
Listen, we could make people feel good about themselves, cure a few hemorrhoids, make a few bucks.
Everybody's going to be happy.
- You trying to start a religion? - It's like country music.
How hard can it be? - What about the comedy-club idea? - This is easier.
Mm, there goes my man.
Comedy, religion - That kid should not have been within 100 miles of Eloise.
- Davie was doing nothing wrong.
- Your man had no right to assault him, Reverend.
Being this is a family thing, and a bit of a misunderstanding, we'll let it go for now.
But, uh, tell your man to keep his fists in his pocket next time.
We will do that, Lieutenant.
- You tell that boy to stay away from Eloise.
Oh, nice.
- It's not uncommon for parents to be protective of their daughter.
- Especially when she's a miracle meal-ticket.
Eloise.
Hey, Davie.
Eloise, we can go now.
Eloise.
Hey, hey, hey! Eloise! - No, Davie.
You can't see me.
You got to stay away from me.
- Eloise, you know you know I can't do that.
Step off.
Don't touch her! Don't! Stop! Ease up, kid.
Take it easy.
- He comes near me again, I'll shoot him.
- You're tough with kids and dogs.
How 'bout me? Kid went after me first.
You keep him away from me and my daughter.
- Daddy You keep him away.
You keep him away.
I won't be responsible.
Let it go, Detective.
You OK? Yeah.
Frase, is he all right? Mm-hmm.
- You know, she is such a nice kid.
I feel really sorry for her.
Why? - Well, she never goes out, she's never been to school.
Her parents keep her locked up in that church all the time.
What kind of life is that for a kid? I mean, really, what kind of parents would do that? Oww! You finished? Are you done? Look, I'm trying to help.
Here's the deal of the thing.
She's 17, her parents don't want you hanging around, so you gots to stay away from the girl.
- I can't, man! - I know about being in love and losing the girl.
You think your life is over.
It isn't.
- How would you know? - 'Cause it happened to me.
- Yeah, what did you do? - Well, this and that, and then I got - What? - I got married.
- You didn't even lose no girl, man.
- Yeah, yeah, but eventually, I got divorced.
So you get over it? - Look, the point is - Ahh! - You keep hanging around there, she's going to press charges.
Look, I pulled your file.
Drug possession, break-and-entry, shoplifting.
- I was a kid! I was 12 years old! Look, that doesn't matter.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Reverend file a complaint, you go down.
- Looks like they started in Georgia.
- And at the age of 7, she apparently cured a deaf woman.
- Yeah, and after that, the Reverend's church thing really took off.
Went from a travelling tent show to a huge radio ministry in five years.
Now they're looking at TV.
Well, isn't that very expensive? - Yeah, but when you got thousands of people mailing you money every week You think she's for real, Frase? - A number of people seem to believe so.
- Doesn't matter.
Let's go, Fraser.
- Where are we going, Ray? Follow the kid.
Why? He didn't do anything.
- Preventative policing.
He's going to go see the girl, we're going to stop him.
- Preventative policing? Can you do that? - It may be violating his rights.
- Ah, to hell with his rights.
He's going to do something stupid.
Nobody has the right to do something stupid.
Well, except well.
- He doesn't mean that, Francesca.
Thank you kindly.
Any time Fraser.
He's not coming, is he? - Well, it's after hours, Ray.
- Oh.
Let me go.
Ha, just try it.
Come on, stay back.
Ungh! - Merciful Lord, no! - I told you to stay away.
He killed him.
- No! No! - That boy killed Addie.
- No No, no, it can't be.
No - Davidson Abelard.
Yeah, he's got a record.
Put out a picture and an APB.
Not much doubt.
The murder weapon was his knife.
- He came in the door, and I don't know what was on his mind.
Maybe he was wanted to kill us.
- Then what? - I just can't believe it.
I mean, Addie has been with us from the very beginning.
He is as much a part of the ministry as any of us.
- Mm-hmm.
You said there was a fight? - Um, yes, um that boy was lurking in the doorway, and then Addie grabbed him, and they came into the room fighting, and that boy stabbed him and ran.
Addie was a good man.
- Excuse me, what is that? - Uh, newspaper clipping.
Dead guy had it in his wallet.
It's a funeral notice from Arkansas.
Probably his parents or something.
Thank you kindly.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but I believe he recognizes you from outside the theatre.
I don't think so.
- Uh, yes, I believe you were carrying a walkie-talkie.
You were following Eloise.
Yeah, I look out for her.
- I see.
Along with this gentleman? Yeah, that's right.
- And are weapons necessary in your line of work? - She's very important to the church, and it's our job to protect her.
- Eloise, go to your room.
We're licensed and registered.
I see.
Will you excuse me? And, um, Addie pulled back.
And, uh The boy stabbed him in the back and ran.
Excuse me.
- Hang on, got to ask you some questions.
What were you doing? - Uh, nothing, it all happened so fast, I couldn't even move.
Come in.
Are you all right? - Davie was always so gentle, so nice to me.
He just couldn't kill anybody.
He couldn't.
- But your parents saw it happen.
I know.
But How could I be so wrong about him? About everything? It's difficult to know people, particularly if you lack experience.
It's all my fault.
No.
You know, you can't be expected to predict the future.
Davie will come back.
I know that.
He'll want to see me.
He'll get into trouble with Eliot and Sandy.
- They're the men who look after you? They're OK.
They're like Addie.
Former criminals.
Lost sheep.
They kind of scare me.
I couldn't stand it if Davie got hurt.
I'll do what I can.
Good day.
- We can't sit there and wait for the kid to show up.
- She does have a point.
He's powerfully drawn to her.
He's in love, I get that.
- I assume that you don't want Davie to be hurt.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
He stabbed somebody.
We got to catch him.
When you're hunting, Ray, the best policy oftentimes, is to wait for the game to come to you.
- Great, but this isn't a criminal drive-through.
We must get him.
Anything about the family? - His parents are dead, his aunt and uncle haven't seen him in a while.
- They got any idea where he might be? - No, they didn't seem that close.
How about where he worked? - Works for a shipping company downtown.
Everyone says he's a loner, stays to himself.
His boss says he's a good employee, though.
Never any trouble.
- Francesca, any known associates? Known lassociate.
I One Jimmy Lewis.
They got busted together four years ago.
- OK, so we just got to find Lewis, shake him down and see what he knows.
Yeah, he won't be hard to find.
He's been in Joliet for the last year.
- Hey, do you know anything about this? when Moses walked into the Red Red Sea He'd need a miracle to set him free I do believe I do believe So how long before the game shows up? - Hunting requires patience, Ray.
Go, Thatcher, go.
- She does seem powerfully drawn to the music, as though it touched something deep within her.
I do believe in miracles I do believe - Pray that God's spirit will come down and bless us today.
Pray that through his grace we will see a miracle done.
Ellen has not walked in 10 years.
Her doctors have done everything they can for her, but they have failed.
Only a miracle can take her out of that wheelchair.
Pray for a miracle.
Pray for the bountiful mercy of the Lord God our father.
Ooh ooh Pray that God will reach out through Eloise and touch this poor, troubled woman.
Get up, Ellen.
Get up and walk! Oh, praise the Lord.
I do believe in miracles I do believe I do believe in miracles I do believe Let us give thanks to God for the miracle that we have seen today.
I do believe.
I do believe in miracles You believe.
We all believe! We believe in miracles! We believe in the miracle that happened here today.
I do believe in miracles I do believe I do believe in miracles I do believe Hi.
That was very, uh inspiring.
And these are all of you.
- Mom and Daddy got more pictures of me than you can shake a stick at.
No baby pictures.
My mom made pictures of me when I was a week old.
I hate that.
- When did you perform your first miracle? When I was 5.
I saw God.
You saw God? He came to me in a fire.
- It must have been very exciting.
And the miracle you performed today, the woman just didn't seem to walk very far.
- Yeah, and she was real excited.
Maybe she can even walk a little.
Probably doesn't usually.
But what with all the fuss and wanting to be cured and all - She took a few steps.
- It was a fake.
Or maybe there was no way she could have gotten out of that chair.
No way she could even move her legs.
That was a real miracle.
Is that what you believe? When I was 5, I touched a blind woman and she regained her sight.
That's true.
They've always told me that.
I've made deaf people hear.
I've stopped cancers from growing.
I've done that.
But I don't know why it happens or when it's going to happen.
And it sure doesn't happen once a day and twice on Sundays.
- So some of the miracles are not quite so miraculous.
- You know much about Babe Ruth? The chocolate bar? No, the baseball player.
Ah.
- He only hit 59 home runs in a 162-game season.
That's not even one home run every two games.
You think I can do better than that? You think miracles are easier than home runs? Daddy says we have to do it, to keep the ministry going.
To keep the cash flow going.
To keep the faith alive.
The money is a means to an end.
Make my daughter's gift available to the world.
Eloise, you go to your room.
Yes, sir.
- Don't cast your doubts on her mind.
You have no idea the damage you could do.
- With respect, sir, I think the doubts are already there.
- Have you any idea what a delicate thing her gift is? The gift of making money? - If you chose not to believe, I can't help you.
But we bring miracles to people who need them.
The world needs that.
Is that guy for real? - It would be interesting to find out.
Davie.
Davie.
Thank you kindly, Francesca, and anything else you find out will be greatly appreciated.
Now what with the hunting? - I think perhaps a little tracking's in order.
This a high-top cross-trainer with a full-court press tread.
It's a kind of running shoe.
The kind that Davie was wearing.
- Well, he was here last night.
- True, but this track wasn't here when we went into the church I would have noticed it.
- You would have noticed it? There's thousands of tracks here.
That's a very distinctive tread.
- What did he have for breakfast? - No, in order to do that, I'd have to pick through his stool.
That's disgusting, Fraser.
Davie, Davie, run! Davie! Eloise, come on.
No, I'll go with him.
- No, I forbid it.
- I'm going.
Maybe I can help him.
- He's a murderer, Eloise.
He's innocent, I know it.
- You know nothing.
Nothing about life, the world, and nothing about that boy.
Leave him be.
- He's a lost sheep.
I know a lot about those.
He can't hurt her now, Reverend, and she may be able to help.
- Then I'll go too.
- No, you've done enough.
- Maybe it would be better if you gave her some time alone.
- I'll go along with her, Reverend.
Would you mind, dear? Make sure she comes to no harm.
Dr.
Clooney, please report to ICU, Dr.
Clooney to ICU.
- Yeah.
Frannie finally got a hold of the aunt and uncle.
They're not coming, but they wouldn't mind if we were to call and let them know how he's doing.
Uh, how is he doing? Doctor said he's going to come out and tell us.
- You know, Ray, surgery does take time.
- I've been praying to God, but he won't answer me.
- You know, it has been said that God does answer prayers.
He answers each and every one.
It's just that oftentimes the answer is no.
- Well, he's never said no to me before.
He always comes through in a fire.
He can't let Davie die.
No, and Davie is a strong boy.
Eloise, you said that Davie was innocent.
He didn't stab Addie.
- ey were fighting for the knife, he dropped it and ran.
- And you know this because? - He told me.
I see.
No, you don't.
You think he lied, but he didn't.
He would never lie to me.
- Ray, there's a couple of things I should look into.
- I'll wait here and regulate his progress.
Good.
You stay here.
- OK, I got everything, starting from the big miracle at age 7.
- Eloise said the first miracle occurred when she was 5.
- Well, who remembers what happened when they were 5? I don't even remember what happened when I was 17.
Well, except for one thing, but anyway.
- Well, it was a miracle, Francesca.
Yes, it was.
Oh, well, OK, but hers couldn't be much of a miracle, because they didn't even report it, and they report everything down south.
Miracles being top of the list and fires being the number-two attraction.
This is the obituary the dead guy was carrying.
Young couple died in a house fire.
- The fire occurred when Eloise was 5.
Hmm.
What is it, Frase? - Just looking for a miracle, Francesca.
A miracle occurred in McKinley, Arkansas, 1984.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, I think you do.
A 5-year-old girl cured a blind woman.
I don't have to listen to you.
- You know, your story and your husband's differed slightly over Addie's death.
At first, I put that down to confusion arising from shock, but I think you and I both know it was something else.
Detective Vecchio.
How's he doing? Well, he survived the surgery.
Frankly, that was a miracle considering all the blood he lost.
So he's going to be OK? It's a little too early to say.
Can I see him? Are you a relative? Yeah, she's, uh, his sister.
Adopted sister.
All right.
We'll have him in a room shortly.
Thank you.
Are you going to be OK? Yes.
Can he stay? - You're going to have to sneak him in the room, 'cause I don't think he'll pass as a relative.
Vecchio.
- I assume I have the basic parameters correct.
Yes, Ray, Mrs.
Barrow is prepared to make a full statement.
They were just ignorant trash.
They would have squandered that beautiful jewel that they were given by God.
I see.
Eliot.
Eliot.
I'm in the quarters.
Get everybody over here, quick.
Perhaps we should go.
Oh, dear.
I imagine you've thought this through clearly.
Yeah, I believe I have.
Sandy, it's too late for this.
Shut up! - It doesn't appear that you're involved in any serious criminal activity.
Perhaps it would be wiser to keep it that way.
- Seems to me that Addie was on a pretty serious gravy train.
I can get me a piece of that.
By eliminating me.
That's good thinking.
- I see, well, he has thought it through clearly.
Get him! Get him! Listen to the voices of God in song.
Listen, even as he listens.
Listen, children.
Listen to the Listen.
Listen to the love Stand up in the voices.
Stand up ooh All God's children Stand up Hear the word from brother Fraser Stand up hear the word Stand up stand up hear the word Stand up and hear the word - What do you think you're doing? - I'm not really sure.
Tell them a story, son.
You know how to do that.
- May I? Ladies and gentlemen ahem brother Albert, I'd like to tell you a simple story.
Uh, well, not so simple story, actually.
It's a story about sin.
Sin is good.
My son.
The sin of greed.
Hear the word ooh Hear the word Stand up ooh Hear the word If any among you out there believe the sin of greed is something overlooked by the heavens above, then you're wrong.
For they see everything and overlook nothing.
Not one little bit Not one Not one little bit Not one Not even a single Grain of mustard seed He's been watching you And all your scheming ways Not one little bit Does he miss does he miss Now repent.
Ooh not one little bit Oh! - And this story is one that brother Albert knows well.
It's the story of Eloise, the young girl who's performed miracles right here in this hall of God.
No, brother Albert, please stay with me.
You can help me tell this story.
As you know, there was once an itinerant preacher out of Arkansas.
A man who was small in faith but great in his greed.
So great in his greed, that he stole from his God.
Not one little bit Not one Not one little bit Not one One day he met a 5-year-old girl named Marcy Davenport, who could make the blind to see.
And this man realized he could exploit her gift, that he could profit from it.
So he did the unthinkable.
He stole her.
He stole the miracle girl and set a fire that killed both of her parents.
That is a patent untruth.
That man is lying.
Disgusting lies, stuffed in a red-crimson vest.
It's a tunic, actually.
That he will guide you to paradise But there was a witness to his dark deed, a blackmailer who bled the man dry even as the young girl made him rich.
And then one day, he saw his chance.
The blackmailer was struggling with an innocent young boy, and so this false man of God rose up and slew the blackmailer.
Now, we all know who this man is.
We all know what he has done.
The law can only punish him for his crimes, but a higher power will punish him for his sins.
- There's nowhere to hide, Reverend.
You've been healed.
You're gonna burn gonna burn You're gonna burn gonna burn You're gonna burn in hell for eternity He's gonna ne'er forget your scheming ways Not one little bit Does he miss does he miss Does he miss does he miss Does he miss does he miss yeah Not one little bit Yeah Hallelujah! - He's really made a miraculous recovery, really.
- You mean, like a real miracle? You're not just saying that? Like somebody would say, like, the immaculate reception, like that - No, what I mean, I'm his doctor, and I don't know why he's still alive.
And that's pretty strange? I don't know about that.
I'm not sure why most of my patients survive.
- Medical humour.
- Ha, ha.
Guys, they seem to have quite an unusual brother-and-sister relationship.
Perhaps you could try and get them some help.
Yes, doctor, we will.
Thank you kindly.
- So is she for real with this, uh miracle thing? She believes she is.
The events in the past, it's hard to say.
- What about him? Did she save him? Possibly.
He might have recovered anyway, but she did give him a reason to live, and that's important.
- Young love cute, but it won't last.
- It might.
- Never.
- It's possible.
- Nah.
- Occasionally.
- Not on my planet.
Dief believes it will.
