Believers Page #4

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

This is crazy, man.

- This is crazy. This is crazy.

- Hey.

Mr. Hernandez.

You were once a devout Catholic.

Even considered the priesthood

at one time, correct?

Hey, I never...

I never told anybody that.

How do you know that?

I never told anybody that.

You are also a medical professional.

A man who no doubt employs

scientific methods on a daily basis.

So would you not say

that both God and science...

... can coexist in your vision?

- Yeah, but...

- Have you ever thought...

... that God may actually be both?

I believe in the Bible.

And you, Mr. Vaughn.

A new child on the way.

Was it God or science

that made that possible?

Hey, how...?

Hey, how can he know that?

- Did you tell him?

- Who gives a f***? Who gives a f***?

Or is it possible

that God and science...

... could be one and the same

for you as well?

Listen to me, you a**hole.

I'm an atheist, okay?

Now, you sick motherfuckers

wanna kill yourselves, good luck.

But let us go.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

And why is that?

No one can be left behind

that has recent memory of our existence.

Your recent recollection

could entangle us...

... thus obliterating our transition

before it even gets started.

This is why I'm giving

you this opportunity...

... not of a lifetime...

... but of a million lifetimes.

You know what?

I'm tired of listening to this bullshit.

What are you afraid of, Mr. Vaughn?

What I'm afraid of

is my friend bleeding to death.

So, what you're gonna do is you're

gonna take him out of this room...

...and you're

gonna stitch him up now.

Nothing, huh?

Dave. Dave, watch out! Dave!

Dave.

Dave, get up.

- Thanks.

- Have a good night, chief.

I will. Thank you.

- Evening.

- Evening.

Wonder if you could help me.

I'm on the lookout

for two paramedics.

They answered a call in this area

earlier this afternoon.

You didn't happen to see an ambulance

out this way, did you?

You're the second person

to ask me that.

Police were by earlier.

I'll tell you what I told them.

I saw an ambulance.

But they kept going down the road.

Just thought it was an accident

or something.

Went down that way, huh?

Yes, sir.

Sirens blazing.

About what time was that?

Guess about 3:
30, 4:00.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

Sure thing.

Can I ask you, how long

has that phone been out of service?

- I didn't know it was.

- Yeah.

The receiver's missing.

Well, guess I'll have to call

the phone company.

They maintain those sort of things.

Not many people

use them much anymore...

...with everyone carrying cell phones

nowadays.

- Mind if I use your restroom?

- Sorry.

Out of order.

You might try the diner

down the road.

About three miles down.

Make a right on Lake Road.

You'll see it.

Good meatloaf too.

That is, if you're hungry.

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna have a quick look around.

Put my mind at ease.

I got two men missing I'm responsible

for, so I'm sure you'll understand.

Son of a b*tch.

Hey.

Hey. It's me.

I should come in now.

Things are heating up out here.

Yeah.

No, I have the canisters.

There's no reason for me to stay.

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Dave.

Dave, are you awake?

Barely.

How's your head? Are you okay?

It's f***ing throbbing.

Sorry about what happened.

It's okay.

When I was 5, I had scarlet fever.

I was dying.

And my mom, she...

She didn't have insurance.

No money for doctors.

So she took me to the priest and he...

He prayed over me.

Blessed me.

Yeah, I know, Vic.

I heard the story, buddy.

My mom, she worked three jobs

to put me through paramedic school.

She'd come home

in the middle of the night...

...her hands would look like raw meat.

She was so proud of me.

She told me one day

that she wanted to give me something.

It was a Saint Christopher medallion.

Said that she had a vision.

The Virgin Mary had come to her

and told her...

...that as long

as I wear this medallion...

...everything would be okay.

My mom died

two days before I graduated.

Two days.

I wanted her to see that.

I wanted her to see that...

...so bad.

The Teacher brought my mom back.

Libby.

That's not true, okay?

Isn't that what you guys do...

...try to save people?

Yes. Yes, we do, Libby.

We're trained professionals.

Okay? We have the right equipment.

And even then,

sometimes it doesn't work.

Have you thought about...

...how he did it?

I mean,

how did he know about you and Deb...

...and your baby? I never told him.

You never told him.

How did he know that, Dave?

I don't f***ing know, Vic, all right?

My mom says

the Teacher can save all of us.

Libby.

Listen to me. No.

The Teacher is like you and me, okay?

- He's just a human.

- How do we know that, Dave?

How do we know that?

How did he know about me?

How did he know about my past?

I never told him

about wanting to be a priest.

I never told you that.

How did he know that about me?

I don't know, Vic!

All I know...

...is that...

...we gotta get the f*** out of here.

Do you understand

what I'm saying to you?

That's all that matters,

is getting the f*** out of here.

What is that?

The Teacher is preparing us.

Our Father who art in heaven...

...hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

on Earth, as it is in heaven.

- Give us this day...

- A lot of good that will do us.

As we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation...

...but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the power...

... the glory...

... forever and ever.

Amen.

I have an enormous

sense of pride right now.

I am looking at the chosen few...

...who will be the very seeds

of a human genealogical tree...

...once we arrive

at our new home.

We will be reborn.

Millions of years from now

it will be your DNA...

...that courses

through all of humanity.

I wanna thank the Teacher...

...for giving us the formula

which points to the undeniable truth.

I want to thank you...

...for being true believers in a cause...

...which we are now

only hours away from fulfilling.

And lastly...

...I want you to remember

those we leave behind...

...because we're doing this for them.

Humankind will not be extinguished.

And it is up to us

to carry their memories...

...their hopes...

...their dreams with us.

Our very existence will mean

that the multitudes before us...

...have not lived in vain.

To the formula.

Undeniable truth.

What do you want?

Don't worry.

We're not here to harm you.

I need some water.

You'll get plenty of water, Victor.

We just need you to come with us now.

Where are you taking him?

Where are you taking him?

Hey, Vic! Vic!

Vic! You motherfuckers!

F***.

F***.

Is going to sleep

the same thing as dying?

You seem sleepy.

Where am I?

You're safe, Victor.

What are you doing?

Alleviating your pain.

What is...? What is this?

For your own protection.

It's only temporary.

What are you doing?

I think for myself.

Come on.

Hello, Victor.

It's me, Rebecca.
