[Gasps.]
TULIP: He's gone, right? You sent him back to Hell.
He's gone.
Our Lord gave a final gift.
He fathered a child.
[Knock On Door.]
I know we just met, but I-I really need to borrow your gun.
I hear you've been looking for God, Preacher.
Perhaps I can help.
[Woman Moaning.]
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus! [Man Moaning.]
I'm really, really close.
Oh, God.
Oh, it's so hot.
Could you just stick your finger in my Oh, like this? Yes.
- [Moans.]
- Oh, yeah.
Don't stop.
D-D-Don't s-sto - [Moaning Continues.]
- [Rustling.]
Shh! Did you hear that noise outside? [Sighs.]
You're so jumpy.
I told you my husband's not gonna be back till Sunday.
[Moaning Continues.]
Every night - [Vase Shatters.]
- Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! - Is a special night - [High-Pitched Screaming.]
When I'm with you, girl [Both Moaning And Panting.]
When I'm with you Oh, my God! [Moaning Continues.]
In your arms so, so tight Jesus! Oh, my Ohh! Oh.
Oh, m-m-my God! - And I don't mind - [Both Moan Loudly.]
Oh! The hustle and the bustle and the ride [Breathing Heavily.]
'Cause it's all worth it Because of you [Insects Chirping.]
[Breathing Heavily.]
[Sighs.]
You know I never really do this.
Me, neither.
[Chuckling.]
Come on.
For real.
You're the only one.
Like, ever? That's crazy.
You could have had any girl you wanted.
I wanted you.
I wanted you, too since the first moment I saw you in the market hanging out with your friends.
[Chuckles.]
I knew you were special.
[Insects Chirping.]
What kind of trees are those? Olive.
It's like I never saw them before.
I gotta go.
You won't stay for supper? I already ate.
Oh.
Okay.
Oh, no, it's It's not like that.
I just I have to do something for my dad.
In the middle of the night? I made him a promise.
[Sighs.]
Tonight meant a lot to me.
And no matter what happens, I want you to remember one thing.
I love you.
What? Y-You And also you can never, ever tell anyone about this.
Cool? Cool.
[Dog Barking In Distance.]
Cool.
- [Knock On Door.]
- MAN: Jesus! - [Knock On Door.]
- Jesus, are you in there?! Stay right there.
[Clears Throat.]
[Disciples Murmuring.]
What's up, guys? Where the hell have you been? We've been worried sick.
You said you were going to the garden to pray.
Yeah.
I was in the garden.
You guys were passed out, so I came here to bless this ailing woman.
[Murmuring Continues.]
[Coughs.]
The Chief Priests are on the warpath.
We gotta move.
- Chill, bro.
- No, I will not chill.
They wanna kill you, man.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
The hell does that even mean, man? You'll understand someday.
Come on.
Judas is meeting us at midnight with the getaway donkeys.
[Chuckles.]
It's been real.
Don't worry, my dear.
Your secret is safe with me.
Yes.
I am the man who ordered the hit on your little band of ne'er-do-wells.
But circumstances intervened, and I changed my mind.
I'm not here to kill you.
You have questions.
I have answers.
[Muzak Plays In Background.]
These portfolios contain classified information on the worldwide conglomerate known as The Grail.
Yes, we hold monopolies in 113 countries.
But we also have a hand in agencies of a more divine authority.
Are you blind, boy? Uh, no.
Would you like to be? [Sighs Deeply.]
Where were we? You were implying that your organization works with Heaven.
Hand in glove for two millennia.
Then you can tell me Where is God? Good question.
"No idea" is the short answer.
That's the long answer, as well.
What I do know is, you won't find Him alone.
I have resources.
I can help.
So, if you'll take a look here at some of our holdings [Grunts.]
I said [Echoing.]
Where's God? I don't know.
[Chuckles.]
[Sighs.]
Your power is inspiring.
[Normal Voice.]
Then tell me why I shouldn't inspire it to ram this down your throat! Because, Preacher Custer, you need me.
Pie charts.
Spreadsheets.
What do you have that I need? [Sighs.]
Did you know that God was last seen here, in New Orleans? [Sniffs.]
Yes.
I had that feeling.
We knew for a fact.
We were alerted the moment He went missing, came straightaway, implemented a cover-up.
The tape.
You hired Mark Harelik.
You were the ones that killed him.
I am offering you access to our power.
Information.
Reach.
Tell me you're not intrigued.
On second thought, you're not really a three-ring-binder kind of man.
Are you? [Cellphone Beeps.]
Yes? Durando? Let them know we're coming in.
[Cellphone Beeps.]
Let's go.
[Van Doors Shut.]
I'm not wearing that.
Then I'm afraid the journey ends here.
You see? We don't trust you, either.
[Engine Starts.]
[Clock Ticking.]
- [Loud Clunk.]
- [Gasps.]
[Breathing Heavily.]
Damn it.
Damn it! God damn it! - [Sighs.]
- [Woman Giggling.]

You feeling any better? Yeah.
What's goin' on? Oh, yeah.
Right.

You know what I mean? Um, have you seen Jesse? He's not bangin' on me door, complaining about the noise, so he's out, I guess.

That's not what I was - Check this out.
Got it down at Circuit Works this morning.
- [Beep.]
- Denis, turn the music down! TRANSLATOR: Denis, baisse la musique.
Honestly, that kid.
He's gonna put me in an early grave or a late one.
[Laughs.]
Um, did he say where he was going? No.
No.
Why? What's up? - Are you all right? - [Door Opens.]
Excuse me.
- Hello.
- [Chuckles.]
I didn't want Denis to feel self-conscious.

No.
Um, you know what? I'm gonna make us breakfast.

[Metal Detector Beeps.]
[Spanish Accent.]
Check your pockets, please.
[Metal Detector Blares.]
Piercings? No.
Hmm.
[Sighs.]
[Bullet Clatters.]
Sir.
Are you ready? [Clears Throat.]
Good afternoon.
Jesse, meet His Holiness the Pope, Bishop of Rome, and the Right Honorable Lord Archbishop of Canterbury.
Gentlemen, Jesse Custer.
Nice to meet you.
So it was like Annville, and then we're looking for God.
And then Viktor, and then all the stuff with The Saint.
I'm confused.
How did you get rid of him? Well, we got him a soul.
And then, uh Jesse sent him to Hell with his mind power.
Wow.
Well, I mean that's good, right? He handled it.
Yeah, it is good.
But? [Sighs.]
I just got this feeling.
That something's not right.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if Jesse said that he handled it [Candy Clinking.]
Did you see him send this Saint to Hell? - No, but - But But he said that he did.
That's what he told you.
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
I wonder what could be not right about that.
Who knows? I mean It's just a feeling, you know? [Scoffs.]
Maybe I'm going crazy.
No.
Mnh-mnh.
- I told you about my ex, right? - Mm-hmm.
Rodney had a drinking problem.
And I told him he had to quit, and he swore to me that he did.
But I just I had this feeling, you know, this suspicion that he was lying, and it wouldn't go away.
I thought I was nuts.
Then one day, I found a fifth of vodka in his jacket pocket.
Though I loved him, I had to finally wise up and leave him.
I'm just saying, usually, if something feels wrong, it is wrong.
And you are not crazy.
Hmm.
WOMAN: What are you doing? No! [Door Opens.]
Get away from me! - Tickles.
- Hmm.
CASSIDY: Go easy.
Okay, be careful! Put a bloody eye out.
Honest to God.
Hello, new person.
My friend Jenny.
Hello, friend Jenny.
How you doing? Listen.
We're gonna give breakfast a miss.
He's been cooped up all day.
We're gonna go out, let off some steam, all right? Cool.
You gonna be all right? - We'll be fine.
- Okay! All right.
Denis! Leave her alone! She doesn't like it! - Okay.
- [Door Opens.]
You're too rough.
You're hurting my wrist! That was Cassidy and company.
- [Chuckles.]
- He's cute.
Really? Oh, my God.
Don't you think? No.
So charming and damaged.
So bony.
He is bony.
That's how I like 'em All elbows and Adam's apples.
[Shivers.]
[Both Chuckle.]
That's funny.
God is missing.
Do you know where He is? Preacher Custer is with me.
[Clears Throat.]
Are you sure you want to know? Some things cannot be unheard.
[Sighs.]
The Seraphim.
A traitorous cabal of angels, jealous of God's authority, have rebelled against Him.
They betrayed our Lord and now He's on the run.
And it's up to us to keep Him safe.
[Scoffs.]
Give me a break.
ARCHBISHOP: What was that? I said, "Give me a break.
" It's true! It's not remotely true.
There is no coup.
God is not on the lam.
He's simply moved on.
The dinosaurs failed Him, and now mankind has.
He's gone to make a new creation.
Something more loving, more more just, more divine.
So tell us, what are some features of this new creation? The new species, it will be tall My sources say 10 foot or more With the prowess of a lion, the flight of an eagle, and the honey badger's sense of smell.
Honey badger.
Do you hear yourself right now? Do you? God on the run like a common criminal? Give me a break.
So, no one knows where God is.
Clearly, we do not.
The boy.
He knows.
He has to.
ARCHBISHOP: It's time for him to lead.
All right, that's enough.
Gentlemen.
Thank you for coming by, saying hello.
You see? The greatest minds in the world, and we still can't find God.
But with our resources and your power Who is the boy? I'm sorry? "The boy.
He knows.
It's time for him to lead.
" Who is the boy? You weren't supposed to hear that.
[Echoing.]
Tell me.
He's The Messiah.
Praise to the lord The almighty The king of creation - O my soul, praise him - [Baby Cries.]
For he is our health And salvation All ye who hear Now to the temple draw near - [Crying Continues.]
- Join me in glad adoration THADDEUS: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
There, there.
Don't cry, little one.
Your father died for a great cause.
But we will protect you.
And when the time comes, your bloodline shall ascend and restore order.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Can I hold him? [Thudding, Squishing.]
HERR STARR: And Thaddeus kept his promise to the child.
And since then, The Grail has protected Christ's lineage in preparation for one thing The end of the world.
And at the moment that hope is abandoned, our Savior will reveal himself to the frightened masses.
End of speech.
So, what you're saying is you have Jesus, and he's gonna run the world.
We have his 25th great-grandson, but, yes, that's the plan.
And this boy, does he know where God is? He hasn't said.
Why not? The Messiah can sometimes be a bit [Sighs.]
unforthcoming.
- Take me to him.
- Absolutely not.
Very few people even know of his existence, - let alone - [Echoing.]
Take me to him.
[Weakly.]
Okay.
- So to change gears - Uh-huh.
Put your left hand, all right, and then just squeeze back on the throttle.
- Like this? - Yeah.
And try not to crash.
That's it.
- Okay.
- Oh, my God.
- You're like a sexy Evel Knievel.
- Who's that? What the bloody hell do you mean, "Who's that?" - [In Distance.]
It's Evel Knievel! - [Camera Shutter Clicking.]
DENIS: [Speaking French.]
WOMAN: What are you doing? Stop looking at me like that.
What are you doing?! Get off of me! Stop it! Stop! Someone help! Let's get out of here! Now! - What's going on? - Freaks! - What's up? - Game over.

All right, son, look.
Listen to me.
Your body's changed.
And you got a boat-load of feelings rushing in, all right? New appetites, and it's normal.
But some of these appetites And you know the ones I'm talking about You just You can't ever act on them.
Ever.
Do you understand? Comprenez-vous? [Arcade Games Chiming And Playing Music.]
[Photo Printer Whirs, Clicks.]

Tell me, am I on the right path? All I ever wanted was to serve you.

You call him? Aah! Ah.
He likes you.
HUMPERDOO: Hello.

Good boy.
[Chuckles.]
Peepee? Very good, my Lord.

[Giggles.]
Shiny! Yes, it's my head.
- Humperdoo like shiny.
- Thank you, Messiah.
- Your amusement humbles me.
- Humperdoo like shiny! Now, now, all right.
Shiny! Shiny! - Let's not become too pleased, shall we? - Humperdoo like shiny! Ooh! Ooh! [Moaning.]
Yes, now, calm yourself.
He's in one of his agitated states.
We should leave before he discharges.
Where is He? [Echoing.]
Where is God? [Wailing.]
[Screaming.]
Guards.
- [Screaming Continues.]
- [Door Opens.]
Shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
I know.
You're tired.
Time for a nap.
[Objects Rattling.]
CASSIDY: Hey.
Hey.
Me and Denis have just been Here, check this out.
Pretty good, right? [Chuckles.]
What's it mean? What do you mean, "What does it mean?" - It's a bloody bird.
- Yep.
No doubt about that.
It's better than Denis'.
He got a picture of Shemp from the "Three Stooges.
" [Laughs, Snorts.]
- Shemp, for Chrissake.
- Where is he? I don't know.
I don't know, actually.
He He wanted some alone time.
It's Yeah, it's perfectly natural, I suppose.
Do you want to get stoned and play "Rocklt"? Sure.
Awesome.
But we only got drums.
["Dirty Little Secret" Plays.]
- She go for it? - Not yet.
Junkie freakshow pulled her off to play video games.
Tell me all that you've thrown away [Groaning.]
You sound like a woman.
That needs to know God, I wish I could have killed her.
- Boss said not to.
- I know he said not to.
That's why she's still alive.
Why did he say that? Not our job to ask why.
All we have to do is - Break them up.
- Exactly.
Yeah, well, this should do it.
Who has to know? So that's He's the one that's gonna rule the world? Look, like with any royal family or Maltese puppy, problems with inbreeding are to be expected.
You can't help me find God.
You never could.
I never said I could help you find God.
I said I could help you.
What are you talking about? I was sodomized the other day, forced against my will.
A trio of local ruffians came to my office, bent me over, and Never mind.
The point is, while it was happening, I thought of you Your power.
I've been head of the Samson Unit for over 13 years.
I thought I was working for order, working to make a cleaner world out of this shit-stained universe.
The truth is I've wasted my life serving someone who cannot rule.
I became disillusioned.
What alternative did I have? Until now.
I'm talking about you, Jesse Custer.
You wanted me to use The Word.
You wanted me to meet The Messiah.
That was your plan all along.
God is gone, and nature abhors a vacuum.
Sooner or later, someone will fill it.
So I ask you Why go on looking for God when you can just be Him? That is blasphemy.
[Inhales Deeply.]
Semantics.
Listen to me, you circle-jerking freak.
There is only one true God, and I will find Him.
[Bell Tolls.]
Well, you can't find Him alone.
Surely, you've learned that by now.
I'm not alone.
I have friends.
Do you? Yes, I do.
And they're helping me.
Are they? Bonjour.
[Gate Closes.]
Anyway, think about it.
[Engine Starts.]
