collapse before

his very eyes.

Sign, date.

Eat, drink, swim.

You are my guest.

Please enjoy.

If you cannot tell,

the place is beautiful.

Of course, you cannot

leave the grounds.

I can't? For how long?

How long does it

take to build a city?

And what if I don't?

Then I will introduce

you to my cat.

It's not a little soft,

furry black and white cat

like maybe you have in the

United States of America.

This is a special cat.

It has nine tails.

And if you do not write

down exactly what I say,

I will beat you

with this cat

until blood pours out of

every hole in your body.

Okay. I got it.

Then I will

nail you to a cross

and I will throw you

over the mountainside.

I believe this

calls for a toast.

My friend,

to the City on a Hill.

I came as soon as I heard.

Yeah.

Gwen, she's...

Well, see for yourself.

Gwen?

Gwen?

Oh!

Hey.

Oh. Ha!

Oh, I was just trying to get my mind

off of, you know, whatever. So...

Doing a little painting.

So I see.

What is this, Gwen?

What are you doing here?

Um... Oh.

You're going to think

I've lost my mind.

No.

No, no, no, Gwen. Of course not.

This is... This is...

Okay. Well,

I think that Carl has been

taken away by drug dealers.

Who may or may not be

demonically possessed.

But it's more than that.

I think that the devil is

trying to use these drugs.

He's using drugs, he's using

women, he's using sex.

He's trying to pull him,

he's trying to pull him.

He's pulling Carl into

this state of confusion.

He's pulling him

away from the family.

And he's... It's like what

you've been talking about.

It's this darkness,

these whole dark forces

that are waging this spiritual

warfare against us.

And they took

Professor Blaylock

and they're

trying to take my Carl.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

But watching over everything

is the all-seeing eye of God.

It was supposed to be

the eye on the dollar bill.

Well, you've

captured it perfectly.

God may test us, but he always

watches over us. Always.

Everything that happens to

Carl is in God's perfect hand.

Nothing happens

by accident.

Everything's going

to be okay in the end.

Carl is in

God's hands now.

All we can do is trust.

Trust and wait.

Oh.

Thank you so much

for being here.

I'm gonna get

paint on you.

There, there, there.

Okay.

There you go. Oh.

Mom?

Oh!

Hey there, kiddo.

Look at you.

Sweetheart. Wow.

You are going to knock 'em

dead at the Purity Ball.

Beautiful.

I'll take

good care of her.

Thank you.

Angie,

do you promise to God,

yourself and your family

that you will stay pure

in your thoughts and actions

until the day you marry?

Well done. Well done.

Your belly is

a mound of grain

surrounded by lilies.

Your breasts

are like fawns,

twins of the gazelle.

That's nice.

You don't seem like

a poet kind of guy.

Many men are not what they seem, Mr.

Vandermeer.

Like your pastor.

He's a funny one, right?

I mean, I've been phoning him

constantly since last night

to make him a very

attractive offer. Yes.

And yet, silence.

Why do you think that is?

I think my wife's

in love with him.

That's the saddest

thing I've ever heard.

I know.

You do not deserve

this kind of torment.

You're a good man

in a cruel world.

A banquet of oranges.

A knife and the son.

Hey. It's time for bed.

You can bring your Bible.

Oh, help me, Jesus.

Oh, God.

Make it stop. Make it stop.

Make it stop, Jesus.

I have sinned, I have

sinned, I have sinned.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, yes...

Thank you.

The works

thy hand hath made

Then sings my soul

My Savior God, to thee

How great thou art

How great thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior God, to thee

How great thou art

How great thou art

Amazing what you

can get away with

when you put the word "pastor"

in front of your name!

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Should I call the police?

That won't be necessary.

You know what, Pastor Dan?

Oh, my goodness.

You're full of crap!

What are you doing?

I'd just like to say

that you are all welcome

to the Church of

the Third Millennium.

Hypocrite!

Stop lying about Blaylock!

Just as you are

welcome on this planet

that was created and

fine-tuned just for you.

Shut up!

Stop that!

Hello?

Hello, my friend.

I believe it is

time for us to talk.

I have some things I

would like to show you.

Anywhere.

- Tell the truth!

- Tell the truth!

Anytime.

I am ready.

Meet me please on the City on a Hill.

Alone.

You will see my face.

- Tell the truth!

- Tell the truth!

Two, three, five,

seven, one, pound.

Two, three, five,

seven, one, pound.

Who are you?

How did you get in here?

Praise!

I'm here to talk to you

about the gospel

of our risen Lord.

No! You cannot be here! Mr.

Jorge will be very, very mad!

You sure?

You must leave now!

It will just take a

moment of your time. Out!

Okay.

Out!

Uh...

Pardon.

Uh...

Am I in...

Is this Mexico?

- Gwen?

- Carl?

Hi.

Oh, are you hurt?

No, no. I'm fine.

Thank goodness.

I know, thank God!

Oh, Carl.

I have proof.

Proof of what?

Over that thing we

talked about yesterday.

Carl, are you dreaming again?

What?

No more dreaming, Carl!

Well, I have it on DVD.

Carl.

So, you can watch

it for yourself.

I'm calling Jerry.

I mean, I'm calling Dan.

No. No, don't.

You mustn't call him.

Under no circumstances

do you call him, okay?

I've already called the police,

they're on their way over.

Gwen?

Gwen?

And say goodbye

to the sunshine,

we have gray skies

on the way.

Peter, back to you.

And there's a new development

in our story

about University of the Southwest

professor Paul Blaylock.

Doctors report that the

professor is now awake.

Saying it wasn't

a suicide attempt at all,

but rather

an accidental shooting.

Well, I feel fine.

Cheers, and many thanks

to these fine professionals.

It's good to be back.

And you won't believe who

he's pointing the finger at.

Find out after the break.

Carl Vandermeer?

Oh, thank God.

For f***'s sake.

Watch your language!

Hey, broheim.

Hey.

I got you an egg salad.

Jerry, it's Gwen, again.

Um... I wanna make sure

you have Carl.

So, yeah, just give me a call

if you can when you get this.

Mom?

Yeah?

Is Carl coming home?

Yes, he is!

Any minute now.

I just want to

know what's going on.

Well.

Here's what's going on.

Ha-ha!

I was just thinking, maybe we

could have a party tonight.

It's gonna be awesome.

Calling all Vandermeers.

Hey, Pep-pep.

Hey.

Hi. Hi, darling.

So, where is he?

Sweetheart,

can we have just a minute?

Yeah, sure.

He was still ranting about,

I don't know what.

But he's alive!

That's the thing that matters.

I'm just praying that

Jerry Hobson

gets to him first.

What? Jerry Hobson?

I thought we agreed you were

going to tell the police!

Don't you remember

what Dan said?

"Suicide by police"?

Gwen,

I don't think Dan has been

telling us the truth.

Jerry, this is

not right, man.

Come on, this is f***...

Frickin' crazy. Okay?

He's awake, the
