DELICIOUS DEAN IS GOD.

DESPITE THE GROWING NUMBER

OF ATTACKS FROM DOCTORS

AND THE AMA DENOUNCING

THE SHOW AS A HOAX

AND PROJECTED TICKET SALES

REACHING INTO THE MILLIONS,

IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE

WHAT FANS ARE LOOKING FOR.

A NEED TO BELIEVE.

A NEED FOR SOMETHING MORE

FROM THEIR MUSIC.

SOMETHING IN THE FORM

OF A TOUCH:

FROM THE BAND'S MESSIANIC

SUPERSTAR.

- SHE JUST PULLED ME

RIGHT OUT OF THE CROWD,

SAID "JUST PU THE NECK BRACE ON."

UGH. SH*T. EASIEST $100

I'VE EVER MADE.

SHE MADE YOU:

SAY SOMETHING TOO?

MM-HMM.

- WHAT'S UP?

- NOTHING.

- WHERE THE F*** HAVE YOU BEEN?

AND WHERE THE F*** IS ARIEL?

WE F***ING REHEARSED THIS.

YOU ENTER BEFORE ME.

LISTEN TO ME, F*** HEAD.

I MADE YOU, YOU C*NT.

I PUT ON THAT F***ING STAGE.

YOU JUST GET OUT THERE

AND TURN YOUR F***ING TRICKS.

COME ON, YEAH!

LET'S F***IN' HAVE IT.

THEY SAID I WAS TORN

WHERE THE WATER:

HAD STOPPED:

IN THE CRADLE OF FUSES

WAITING FOR A FINAL SOLUTION

ELIMINATE THE ACCENT

DO I DIMINISH THE THREAT?

SOMETIMES I NEED YOU

JUST TO STAY:

A LITTLE UPSET:

DO YOU OR DON'T YOU

WANT TO BELIEVE?

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT

IT'S WHAT YOU NEED

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE MAGIC TRICK

FOR YOU TONIGHT.

A LITTLE CRACKER JACK ACTION

AND SIDESHOW ACTION.

THAT'S RIGHT, DEAN.

THEY'RE CALLING FOR YOU, MAN.

GIVE US A LITTLE BI

OF YOUR F***ING MAGIC HANDS TRICK.

THAT'S RIGHT. F***ING HEALING.

- SHUT THE F*** UP.

COME ON. HA HA HA.

THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE HEALING.

COME ON THERE, MAN.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

GIVE THEM A HEALING, DEAN.

- SHUT THE F*** UP.

HEAL THEM. HEAL THEM, DEAN.

- F*** YOU, THE STAIN!

- USE YOUR MAGIC HANDS.

F*** YOU.

GIVE THEM YOUR MAGIC HANDS, MAN.

- COME HERE! RIGHT HERE!

- GIVE THEM YOUR MAGIC HANDS.

- LET HIM GO. COME ON.

- COME ON.

- LET HIM GO.

- COME ON.

WHERE IS IT?

- COME ON.

COME ON.

HEY, ARIEL. ARIEL.

DUDE, STOP.

STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.

DUDE, STAIN.

DUDE, DUDE, DUDE,

GET THE F***ING PARAMEDICS.

SHE'S OD'ING.

SHE'S F***ING OD'ING MAN.

F***. DUDE. ARIEL. F***, MAN.

HERE.

RIGHT HERE:

IS WHERE HOMICIDE BEGINS.

IN THESE PRECIOUS MOMENTS,

WHEN LIFE-SAVING DECISIONS

COULD HAVE BEEN MADE,

WHAT WAS ON THE MIND

OF THE ROCK STAR,

DEAN O'DWYER?

WHAT WAS HE THINKING

AS ARIEL LEE LAY AT HIS FEET,

TAKING HER LAST BREATH?

WAS HE THINKING,

"WOW, WHAT A SHOW.

HOW ARE WE GOING

TO RECREATE THIS?"

BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU THIS,

HE WAS NOT THINKING

ABOUT ARIEL LEE:

BECAUSE IF HE WAS,

HELP WOULD HAVE GOTTEN

TO ARIEL LEE:

AND SHE MIGHT BE HERE TODAY.

AND THAT, BY DEFINITION,

IS MANSLAUGHTER.

- THIS IS A TRAGEDY

TO SAY THE LEAST.

WE ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.

DELICIOUS D'S ACTIONS

WERE SELFLESS AND HEROIC

AND WE ASK FOR YOUR SENSITIVITY

AT THIS TIME.

ARIEL LEE DID NOT DIE

BECAUSE OF NEGLECT.

ARIEL LEE DIED:

BECAUSE SHE OD'D.

THEY WERE...

PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE HEALED.

DEAN, MAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE LE THE PARAMEDICS AT HER

BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HEAL HER

OR WHATEVER HAPPENED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

MAYBE YOU DID TOO MUCH.

JUST REMEMBER,

YOU ARE UNDER OATH,

SO JUST...

JUST TELL US THE TRUTH.

I SAY HE IS THE LIVING EMBODIMEN

OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN HUMANKIND.

WE ALL WANT TO KNOW

THERE'S GOOD IN PEOPLE.

AND I'M NO EXCEPTION TO THAT.

THE CROWD WAS CHANTING

FOR HER TO BE HEALED.

THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ALL PAR OF THE SHOW.

I GRABBED THE MIKE

TO CALL FOR HELP,

BUT POWER HAD BEEN CU TO THE STAGE

AND THE PARAMEDICS

HAD BEEN BLOCKED.

I DIDN'T GET TO SAY

WHAT NEEDED:

TO BE SAID THAT NIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO SAY

WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID NOW.

AND IT'S SOMETHING

I'VE BEEN ASKED NOT TO SAY

BY DEAN O'DWYER AND NINA HOGUE.

OBJECTION.

- YOUR HONOR, SIDEBAR PLEASE.

- AND THAT IS THAT HE'S A FAKE.

- SIDEBAR.

- HE'S A PHONY.

- OBJECTION!

- HE'S A FRAUD.

- ORDER!

- THIS CHARLATAN SON OF A B*TCH!

- BAILIFF, REMOVE HIM.

HE CAN'T HEAL SH*T!

IT WAS ALL A F***ING ACT!

YOU WERE ALL DUPED!

- ORDER!

HE NEVER COULD HEAL!

YOU BOUGHT A F***ING LIE!

WELL, WELCOME

TO THE F***ING SHOW!

AS THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY FIGURE

WHO FIRST ENCOURAGED THIS GIFT,

YOU CAN TESTIFY TO DEAN'S

HEALING TECHNIQUE

AND HIS INTENSE:

CONCENTRATION,

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN

INTERRUPTED BY THE PARAMEDICS.

IN THAT REGARD, THAT MAKES YOU

OUR EXPERT WITNESS.

AND CHARACTER WITNESS

DESCRIBING DEAN'S EARLY HEALINGS

ON SKID ROW.

HOW SELFLESS HE WAS.

HOW PURE HIS MOTIVES WERE.

MR. O'DWYER HAS GRACIOUSLY

AGREED FREE OF CHARGE

AND FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD

OF TIME:

TO COME DOWN TO SKID ROW

AND LAY HANDS:

ON WHOMEVER YOU WISH.

IN EXCHANGE FOR MY TESTIMONY?

- YES.

- NO. NO.

CAN I SPEAK TO DEAN ALONE

FOR A MOMENT PLEASE?

YOU DO WHAT YOU THINK

IS RIGHT, FATHER.

BY THE WAY, JUST SO YOU KNOW,

I'M A MARYMOUNT GIRL

AND I-I HAD THE CALLING

TO BE A NUN,

BUT I LOST MY WAY.

MAYBE SOMETIME WE'D GET TOGETHER

AND TALK ABOUT THAT.

CERTAINLY.

- THANK YOU, FATHER.

- THANK YOU, FATHER.

SOMETHING ELSE, HUH?

I, UM, I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.

SHOW YOU SOME OF THE GOOD WORK

YOU DID.

THAT MEXICAN WOMAN

WHOSE HANDKERCHIEF YOU TOUCHED,

YOU HEALED HER HUSBAND, DEAN.

YOU HEALED HIM.

THE CLOTH,

IT CARRIED THE POWER.

I SHOULD HAVE TOUCHED

HEALAPALOOZA HANKIES, HUH?

SOLD THEM:

AT THE T-SHIRT BOOTHS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY

THAT I KILLED SOMEBODY.

THAT'S BULLSHIT.

THEY'RE JUST COMING AFTER ME

BECAUSE OF WHO I AM.

ARIEL WAS A JUNKIE.

SHE TOOK A BUNCH OF PILLS.

AND I DID EVERYTHING I COULD.

I THOUGHT IT WAS WORKING.

- IT'S HARD TO KNOW,

ISN'T IT?

- OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S MAKE IT RIGHT.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOUR SHELTER?

HOW ABOUT THIS?

THE LORD WORKS:

IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.

THINK OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HELP.

I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY, DEAN.

I MISUSED YOU.

- IT'S OKAY. I FORGIVE YOU.

YOU WANT TO HELP ME? DO THIS.

DO THIS FOR ME.

I'LL TESTIFY FOR YOU.

I'LL TESTIFY

TO THE HEALINGS THAT I SAW,

BUT THAT'S IT.

I WON'T BE

YOUR CHARACTER WITNESS

BECAUSE I-I WON'T GE ON THAT STAND

AND SAY THAT...

THAT YOUR MOTIVES WERE PURE.

- WHAT WERE MY MOTIVES?

- I DON'T KNOW, DEAN.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU ABANDONED

THOSE PEOPLE:

WHEN THEY NEEDED YOU.

YOU ABANDONED THEM

TO BECOME A ROCK STAR.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY?

- I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

- OH! NO!

NO, YOU CAN'T LIE.

YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR THAT.

YOU CAN'T CON PEOPLE.

YOU DON'T USE PEOPLE

FOR YOUR OWN GLORY.

YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING

LIKE THAT.

WHAT IF ON CROSS-EXAMINATION,

MY LAWYER ASKS:

WHAT WERE YOUR MOTIVES?

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY GRAND.

THAT HAS NO BEARING

ON ANY OF THIS, DEAN.

- OH, YES, IT DOES.

- NO, IT DOESN'T.

- OH, YES IT DOES.

- NO.

YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION

FOR THIS WHOLE THING.

PAYING FOR MIRACLES.

WHERE DID I GET THAT FROM?

SO LET'S JUST SAY, FATHER,

THAT YOU'RE GONNA GE ON THE STAND

AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL

THE F***ING TRUTH.

THE TRUTH IS IS THAT YOU

PROSTITUTED YOUR GIFT.

NO, THE TRUTH

IS YOU PROSTITUTED ME.

- THAT IS NOT TRUE.

- PROVE IT ISN'T.

CAN YOU PUT YOUR HAND

ON YOUR BIBLE:

AND SAY YOU DIDN'T DO THAT?
