And there he goes.

What the... No!

That's not what happened!

Yeah, are you sure?

Yeah, of course I'm sure.

I was there!

You've got to fix this, man.

Make it how it happened!

Come on!

I can't fix it, man.

I can't fix this, this

is the way it is, okay?

Could somebody have tampered with this?

Could it have been changed?

If they knew how to edit it, I guess.

Use old footage.

Alter the timestamp. They'd still

have to get in here first.

I was here until 10:00, okay? After

that nobody till 7:00 in the morning.

That's when I showed up.

Well, it was more like 7:40.

Because after

that thing last night

I had to go home and just relax.

Who else can get here?

Oh, man!

Almost a hundred people

can get in here.

Security professionals,

like us.

And the tech guys.

You know, if something goes

wrong with the equipment.

Yeah.

Jerry Hobson?

I'm at an intersection.

I said "Jesus, help me.

Please, show me a sign."

And at that exact moment,

the light turned green.

And I turned right.

And do you know what

was down the street?

The Church of

the Third Millennium.

That was Jesus telling me I

had to get intimate with God.

And that the way

was through Dan Day.

Thank you, Jesus!

...and I met three people

that day who changed my life.

Hello?

Hey, it's Officer Bill.

Hey, broheim.

...he told me God

had a plan for me...

Hear you got a photo?

Yeah.

And Angie who's

the first person

that ever made me

feel really needed.

Oh, and one other.

The guy I turned my life

over to, Jesus Christ.

Bingo.

Hey there, you two!

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Great to see you.

Pastor.

Please, sit down. Make yourself at home now.

There you go.

Dan, do you need

anything else?

No, I'm all right, Bedelia.

Don't worry about me.

Thank you very much.

Nice to see you, Bedelia.

Hey, listen. Thanks

for coming by today.

How are we doing, anyway?

Always awesome!

Good, good.

Yeah. But it's been

a strange day today.

Hey, is there something

wrong with Bedelia?

Well, I don't know

how to say this...

Is this about Carl?

Apparently Carl attacked Jerry.

Out at the quarry.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, for Pete's sake!

So, Bedelia's just

a little bit upset.

Jerry's okay. He just got a

few stitches in his head.

Oh!

He's not angry.

He's just very,

very concerned for Carl.

This is all so strange.

We saw Carl at lunch,

and he was talking...

Oh, you saw him today?

After church?

Yeah. He thinks Jerry attacked him.

He's out of his mind.

Well, this incident

with Professor Blaylock

has affected Carl very deeply.

Very deeply indeed.

Tell me, does he...

Did he have any

family history?

Like genealogy?

Paranoia. Depression. Violence.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, in any case, I think this has

sent Carl into a very dark place.

It's the very same thing I was talking

about in my sermon this morning.

Spiritual crisis.

At this moment in time,

Carl is lost.

He's adrift.

Should we call the police?

No, no.

I wouldn't do that.

It's much better that he

should be in his own community

rather than

sitting in a jail cell.

We have all the resources

here to take care of him.

In fact,

I shall counsel him myself.

Now, I'm going to give you Jerry

Hobson's cell phone number.

It's very important to let him

know about Carl's whereabouts.

Absolutely.

Otherwise, well,

suicide by police.

It's a very real thing.

Right.

It means purposefully drawing

fire from an officer of the law.

Let's pray together.

Come on.

Oh. The Screen of

Many Colors.

You got it.

Our proposal.

Oh, yes, yes. I've been

meaning to read that.

I will pay full

attention to it.

Dear Jesus,

we call upon you.

I pray to you, dear Jesus,

to take the souls of Gwen

and Jim in your arms.

In your loving arms,

embrace this family

for they have lost

a sheep named Carl.

He is adrift.

He is broken.

Bring Carl back to us.

That Pastor's lying!

Blaylock wasn't suicidal!

I have known Paul

for almost 30 years,

and I have never

seen him depressed.

This is insane.

I'm just going to talk to the police,

I'm just going to tell them...

Wait, wait, wait. Half the

force worships Pastor Dan.

They're down at the cathedral

practically every day doing

whatever it is you

people do down there.

What if you walk in there

and they arrest you?

I don't know.

Whatever you do, better

follow the Boy Scouts' code.

Be prepared.

What?

My chameleon got out.

Anyway, if there's jail time

involved, this always helps.

Trust me on that.

Oh!

Yeah, I don't know

if that's a good idea.

Been clean for

a long time, so...

I hear you, man.

But life gets rough.

My frackin' Pearl Jam guitar tech

boyfriend just broke up with me.

He's been on the road

for six months.

Guess how long it's

been since I got laid?

Six months?

My nerves are like a cat with

its tail in the wringer.

And I'm not even

going to prison.

No. No, no, no. We don't

know that that's happening.

Anyway, you'll be fine staying

clean in there, right?

No sex. No drugs.

Just like church.

So, while there's

still time...

Oh!

Oh!

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

There you are,

you little bastard.

Howdy, officer! Jim Hunt. Petty Chief, U.S.

Navy retired.

Are you familiar with the

Blaylock incident this morning?

The suicide at the USW?

You want Detective Peale.

Wonderful. Thank you.

What am I

looking at here, sir?

That belongs to me.

I passed it on

to Pastor Dan Day last night.

Today,

I found it in his office.

Now you might want to

question him about

the blood.

I'll open

an investigation.

But as this is ongoing, we need

you to keep this to yourself.

Standard procedure, okay?

Roger that.

Hey, can I

ask you something?

What's that?

Were you ever,

you know, at a show,

and somehow you

just started to believe

that the Dead

were controlling

everything?

You know...

I mean,

not just the music,

but the tiny little details,

you know?

Yeah!

I feel that way right now!

I know!

Except, do you want

to know what is what?

What is what?

I'm the one

controlling everything!

Ooh!

Yeah.

Control.

This song,

the clouds,

the sunlight.

You.

Me?

This... This van

with the Virgin Mary on it.

I'm controlling it

right now.

I'm...

Oh, Virgin Mary.

No, no!

Ow!

Get out of the car!

Let's go!

No! No, no.

No, I'm not the guy! I'm not the guy!

You got the wrong guy!

Get off Carl!

Carl! Carl!

I'm just saying you

got the wrong guy!

- Call for help!

- Call for help!

Oh!

Frack you!

God says to Noah, "I'm

going to flood the Earth.

"So, I'm going to

need you to build a ship

"to save yourself,

and your animals."

Hi. How are you?

Now, Noah felt something.

What did he feel?

Yeah?

Good?

Good, yeah.

But Noah also felt doubt.

Because Noah had

never seen rain before.

So, before the flood,

how did God water the Earth?

He watered it

from the ground up.

Okay? With mist. Yeah?

Are you talking about

steam from volcanoes?

'Cause there was

rain for a long time
