He walked on his own two feet

in to the church!

His gotta be somewhere, Tom!

We have an eye witnesses,

No, not...

There has to be some

sort of logical explanation.

- The man is not an assassins...

- Then where is the priest?

He took the body, put it in

the back of his truck...

and he took it somewhere.

I mean, this man is a sick, cruel bastard

- No! I don't want a lawyer.

- This is serious, Alec.

- I didnt anything.

He had a heart

attack at my house,

I managed to get him in truck,

I drove him to the town

and then he woke up,

and he walk into the church.

What?

I just watched the video

Father Malloy looks very dead.

Yeah, tell me about it,

- Yes, he did.

I believe you, Alec. I'm just trying...

Just get out.

What?

I will find Father Malloy.

You want a shovel?

So, you want to use the bathroom,

Good, good, good.

going on like this in Lunenburg, huh?

The guy is from Britain, isnt he?

Yeah. He's just arrived, he's only

here for less than a week.

We havent yet found out

where he has buried the body.

We'll find the body.

We have Alcapone here.

He is the best dog, I've got.

Let me tell you this boy will

sniff of things only dog dream of...

- Hey, am I free to go?

- Freeze!

Hands on your head now!

- Or I'll spray out of the sh*t you boy.

- Okay!

get out of here ?

The door was open and my

cuffs were loose...

- Bullshit!

- Henry, let Alcapone go, get'em boy.

Get'em boy.

Lunenburg police.

Henry, Grab the dog.

- Tom...

- Damn it, not now, Jim.

I need you to get down on the ground slowly!

Or I will put a bullet through your head!

Tom, I'm sorry, but it's Father

Malloy on the phone for you!

I told you!

Shut up and don't move!

Who is this?

But we saw video where you...

- Right...

- What the hell have you done, Tom?

Thank you.

He is innocent.

Oh my God!

That was Father Malloy calling

to confirm it, and he's fine.

What the hell is wrong with all of you?

I told you I was innocent!

What the hell have you done now, Tom?

You saw the video..

I mean there was no way

he was still alive...

We all saw the video, Tom.

What are you? Steven Spielberg now?

There is more footage. Look!

- Watch this!

- Let's go, Henry.

Pete!

Don't waste my time again, Tom.

You... what a coffee with those

little cookie you like?

Shut up.

Father Malloy!

Where the hell were you?

They put me in jail

thinking you were dead!

I know I'm sorry.

I came as soon as I heard.

Well you come soon enough, did you?

I'm sorry for not believing in you.

- Wait!

- What?

I have a confession to make.

I lost my faith about two years ago.

I actually stopped believing

that God could existed.

Wait.

you accuse me of lying to these people?

I didnt have a heart

to tell the community,

so I just kept playing my role,

which is... what I was, the priest.

That's pathetic.

But I died yesterday.

I'm sure of it.

And nothing should've brought me back, and yet...

Look, when moved to Lunenberg,

I heard stories, rumors, Healers.

I just dismissed it as,

non-sensual myths.

-Wait, wait..

-I believe, you have a gift.

A God given gift,

which brought me back...

and gave me a second chance.

Are you serious...

I got my faith back.

I want to thank you for that.

Alec, son, there is no

deny it, you're a healer.

And I'm done.

I am done.

You are...

Your all clinically insane here.

"There's a room you haven't

seen yet:
The basement."

"This is the key to the house."

"One is sorrow, two is joy,

three for a girl, four for a boy,

five for silver, six for gold,

seven for a secret, never to be told.

Is this the key to the house?

It's your destiny.

Hello, Alec.

It's you.

We need to talk.

- There's a lot to take in.

- What the hell is going on here?

- Why you have my name on wall?

- Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

What is this place?

Who is this people?

These are your ancestors.

That one, behind you, was the last

one chosen, it was my father.

Is this some kind of religious sect?

You have the family gift,

the gift of healing.

- It skip a generation.

- Oh my God, you all insane!

Alec, since you been here,

you've helped a young girl...

find her speech,

an old man his hearing...

- It wasnt me.
