We've had,

Leonardo Borga,

Giordano and--

What was it?

Zarica.

Zarica. But Leonardo Palladino,

it's our first time.

And we're

just thrilled.

And he can't see us?

Not with this light.

The glass is polarized.

No one can see anything.

Unless of course they

have special powers.

I'll tell you

what I don't believe in.

Watch this.

I don't believe in angels

of light curing the good.

I don't believe in

extraterrestrial beings

coming down from the sky

to guide the human race

to an age of re-awakening.

That's new.

Is that the Zimmer?

Yeah, I fixed it

It's all good.

You fixed it? You should

have sent it out.

We don't have any

money. It's fine.

Tom, we should

ask for the money.

I said I fixed it.

It'll work.

-with the Cosmos.

I don't

believe in the Devil.

I don't believe in gods.

I don't believe

in God himself!

I only believe

in a primal, single...

Come on, Tom,

let's go.

Yeah, just a sec.

I'm on it.

...an explosion

of lucidity,

old like the world, which

burns deep within me

and explodes with savage

brutality...

- Tom.

- Yeah, just give me a sec.

- Tom.

- One second. I'm on it.

I only believe in me!

Tom!

I only believe in me!

Come on, Tom.

That's it. Got it.

Leo, can you hear me?

Leo, if you can '2' hear

me, you're in trouble.

My head--

My head.

Judi Cale.

I can feel it.

Judi Cale

- Judi Cale.

- To your right'

Judi Cale.

She should be in the

8th row, next to...

They're using inhibitors.

They know what they're doing.

- Can't you do something?

- Yeah, I think so. Just a minute.

Judi Cale, stand up right

now, in the name of God!

Hallelujah! Leonardo

believes again.

Stand up right now.

Stand up right now,

in the name of God!

Lives with her

parents at 3154 Greenwich.

I can see a ring of white

fire protecting your home.

The girl's

got stomach cancer, Leo.

Don't be scared.

Stomach cancer.

Everything all

right down there?

Everything's wonderful.

Thanks for asking.

- Is it always like this?

- No. We got lucky.

The signal scrambles

every 40 to 50 seconds.

I just gotta isolate

this frequency.

They're not

usually this careful.

I know what's

wrong with you, Judi.

Don't be scared.

Get out!

Leave Judi's stomach! She

doesn't need you anymore!

Get out of there!

Judi.

You're cured.

Shout it out.

I'm cured.

Shout it out, in

the name of God!

I'm cured!

Hallelujah!

'Got it!

Alright',

Leo, Richard Vargas-

Richard Vargas

I'm calling Richard Vargas,

in the name of God!

No, Leo,

correct your position.

I'm calling Richard Vargas,

in the name of God!

He should be

on your right.

Don't be afraid on account

of your sins, Richard.

Stand up and accept

the light of salvation!

He really knows

his moves, doesn't he?

He had a good teacher.

He worked with Silver

for over a year.

Simon Silver,

the blind guy?

Okay, so he's

here with his sister, Maria,

and his mother--

Just hang on--

Dorina.

Richard, don't

be afraid.

Dorina and Maria aren't afraid.

Listen to them.

They want you

to come to the light.

Watch out, Leo! Don't'...

don't get in line with the...

Sorry, my fault-

I think everything's all right.

Everything okay?

You gotta be shitting me.

Do Yo" Copy me, Leo?

I'm with you, Richard!

I'm sorry, my fault'.

Look at me, Richard.

Look at me.

You guys go position yourselves

in the central block now.

We're going with the woman on crutches.

Row--32.

That was close.

Did you check

the auxiliary control?

No. No, Leo. Stop touching

his chest, please.

His arm is the problem.

You know,

one of these days

somebody's gonna

work out he's Argentinean.

Then--then we'll

be in real sh*t.

Hey. You guys

lose this?

A lot of cancer. Mm.

I'm here, I'm back. There's

no doubt about that.

You know what I'm

talking about, Simon.

Are you going

back on stage?

Well, who

knows, Nina.

I heard it's

a distinct possibility.

I know it's

a delicate subject,

but your last show didn't

turn out so great.

According to some

people, you were--

That was a long time ago

and I said all I had to

say about it back then.

It was a just an unfortunate

thing that happened.

You gotta admit

it was weird.

Your biggest

detractor attacks you

at your own

show, and--

It was unpleasant

for everyone.

The rumor at

the time was that

Martin Weiner

was writing a book

to demonstrate that you

were, uh--well, a fake.

That's, that's

the kind of thing

that I mean

that doesn't stack up.

The same folks out there

who say I have no powers

also say I induced a

heart attack in Martin.

Your number one enemy?

You're safe

with me, Nina.

You know what I think?

I think you're getting

everybody to talk about you

without even going

out there again.

Wouldn't that just

confirm my powers?

You bet it would!

You know, Silver? I've been

wanting to do this for 30 years.

You know what I've

brought with me?

Let me guess.

Is it something

that I can--

bend?

Well, how did

you know that?

Did you just

read my mind?

No. The handle's been

sticking out of your pocket

for the last

few minutes.

So you can--

You are just a big

kid, you know that?

All right, what

do you guys think?

Should we ask him

to bend it'?

Why does no one let

me watch TV in this place?

Because only housewives

watch that show.

Come on!

I have nothing

against housewives.

My mom happens

to be one.

I'm sure your mom

doesn't sit around all day doing

macram and watching crap TV.

We should take

a shot at Silver.

Oh, come on.

Forget about it.

There's nothing interesting

for us there.

This arrived

this morning.

It hasn't been

digitally retouched.

It's a trampoline.

Are there no real

challenges left out there?

Silver's a

real challenge.

Silver's already

been investigated.

Yeah, like 30 years ago. We

should investigate him now.

He doesn't interest me.

Forget him.

He interests me. Come on! He's

gonna be here in 10 days.

You are like a broken record.

I said no.

What is wrong with you?

Are you afraid of him?

So, if you can get that in--

into a chart for me--Margaret!

Margaret, I heard about Palladino.

Everyone's talking about it.

I wanted to say thank you. People

like them give us a bad name.

I doubt it.

Come on, Margaret,

give us a break.

It's serious work

we're doing up there.

We started

with scores of 2.1.

You know, nothing to write

home about, I know,

but in the last couple of

weeks we scored 3.4, 4, 4.6--

And the chances the difference are down

to coincidence is 2 in 100, Margaret.

- PauL

- Two in a hundred!

All right--

All right.

Tom, go ahead and start

class without me.

Take this,

this and that.

And, um, show them the photograph.

They'll enjoy that.

I won't be long.

So what is it this time?

Psychic photography?

- Retrocognition, remote vision?

- Telepathy.

- Drawings, sealed envelopes, cards?

- Zener cards.

Double blind, triple

blind, simple blind?

Simple blind.

I did it myself.

I take it from your enthusiasm
