Javier, what is it?

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, it's fine.

Javier, you don't look well.

Jose!

Joseph!

They are coming for you, brother.

The doorway's opening.

You will see.

- How do I dial 911.

- No, please don't do that.

Why?

Because we know him.

We've been trying to help him for some time.

Joseph, in the last year we've lost the church,

people have lost their faith ...

- We can't afford this type of attention.

- Who is he?

His name is Javier Cabello,

he's a member of the congregation.

- Why is a member of the congregation trying to kill you?

- He's trying to scare me.

- He's doing a good job. Why?

- He never liked what I had to say.

Tough crows.

What did you have to say?

My sermons, the messages of the church.

Javier had some radical beliefs,

he was into some ... dark things.

- Was he a satanist?

- No, he was just misguided.

He stuck a gun in your face,

he pointed the gun at me!

Joseph, I implore you not to worry.

Please.

Let's not destroy his life or this church any more.

- He was probably drunk. I'll call his wife.

- You do what you've gotta do.

All the forgiveness, it doesn't always work that way.

You be careful.

I wanna get out of here.

Let's go someplace for a bit

Good idea.

Come on.

That was an interesting sermon.

You endorse sin.

I mean, doesn't that go against everything the Bible teaches?

People are gonna do what they want,

regardless if you enable them or damn them.

Fear is no way to live your life.

That is the essence of what religion is, isn't it? Fear.

- Okay, so by that rationale ...

Why have faith in religion at all?

Why believe in God?

- Have you ever read the Bible, Joseph?

- You're gonna drop the Bible on me now.

I asked if you ever read the Bible,

not if you believe in it.

I haven't read the Bible since I was a young kid.

You of all people should know the importance

of power of a book.

The right words at the right time can change a life.

Give it purpose.

Restore faith.

I know the power a book.

I live with that power every day.

It doesn't always restore faith,

it destroys it.

A fanatic read my books,

set fire to my apartment,

and killed my wife and my son.

All because of words I wrote in a book.

- I'm glad you came back home.

- This was never my home.

- You never gave it a change.

- You were born here,

you never knew anything else.

You know, there isn't a day going by

I'm not reminded of what I took from her.

From you, from dad.

I promised myself I would make my life will important.

My work and the message I preach.

I will give her death meaning.

- It's your birthday tomorrow.

- I'm not big on birthdays.

Take a look at this.

Look at the time.

- 11:
10?

- It's 11:
11.

I was wearing that when I was in my car accident.

It's also the time your fog rolled in.

It's the time of death on David's death certificate.

Your attack happened at 11:11.

Mom ... November 11th.

- You're searching for parallels?

- And finding them.

Brother, be careful looking for meaning

when there is none.

No, there's something to this.

Or maybe you're just cognisant of the

number now, and looking for it.

No, no. It's too frequent to be random.

These people online call themselves "Eleveners."

They believe that there's celestial beings that

exist between our world and someplace else.

They believe they try to use the number

to contact us, to get our attention.

You think, because you're seeing some

number over and over again,

that someone, or something, is trying to contact you?

Brother, be careful looking for meaning

when there is none.

No, there's something to this.

Or maybe you're just cognisant of the

number now, and looking for it.

No, no. It's too frequent to be random.

You think, because you're seeing some

number over and over again,

that someone, or something, is trying to contact you?

You believe in praying to an old man

who lives in the clouds?

Those cameras in your church;

how long do you save that footage?

- Here's November 4th, that's as far back as we go.

- That was six nights ago.

Fast forward to 11 PM.

Keep going. Good, stop.

- What are we looking for?

- 11:
11.

Last night, after your attack,

I came here and looked at this footage.

Javier said there were others, and well,

there were a bunch of people standing in your yard.

You still think that's random?

Something's trying to get our attention.

That was the fourth, right? Hold on one second,

I gotta take this. Pull up the fifth.

Excuse me.

What the hell happened to you?

- Are you okay?

- I'm great, Grant. I'm doing backflips right now.

I read that you were in a wreck, you get admitted

to a hospital, and you don't as much as call me?

- I'm fine.

- You bet you're fine.

You are about to find out just what a great agent I am.

I hope that you're still writing.

Because I have just come out of a meeting

with Ransom Publishing.

They are offering you a high seven figure,

blind deal, on your next book.

Now, Joe, don't you get mad at me,

but I pitched them your diary.

... When ... Joseph .../ i

Hello?

Hello?

Are you scared yet, son?

Pardon me ma'am. English ... English?

Sir, excuse me, do you know where ...

Thank you.

Here?

I have this camera.

I need to get the film developed in

this camera, do you do that?

I need to see ... to see,

the film in this camera.

I don't know if you have an express service,

or something, but ...

- Name, please.

- Joseph Crone.

Can I get the pictures in an hour or something?

- Tomorrow.

- No, no. Today.

Okay, I know, "Magnani."

Okay, I got it. Thanks.

Javier is a good husband and a good man.

Yeah I'm sure. When he's not brandishing a gun,

he's probably great to be around.

Mrs. Cabelo, he came to my brother's service

and he shoved a gun in my face.

So anything you can tell me would be really helpful.

He has been ... in a very bad place.

Confused.

- Confused how?

- He thinks he was chosen.

- Says he has to end the church.

- My brother's church?

Javier has always been a religious man, but ...

Things became cloudy.

He became obsessed.

He spent all of his time at the library of

the occult, reading dark things.

He lost his grip on reality.

- How is your brother?

- My brother is fine.

He has the best sermons.

They make sense.

Some will make me feel comfortable.

I've been to the other churches, but ...

I always left feeling guilty, dirty.

But not there.

Not with him.

-- Spanish --

To sin is normal, that's what Samuel would say.

Let me bring you the address to the store.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Jesus.

- You scare people in english too?

- Yes, sir.

Javier Cabello.

- Does the name ring a bell? Do you know him?

- I have many customers.

I didn't say he was a customer.
