The Healer Page #5

- Father Malloy died and his back.

- I've seen the video.

- I didnt do anything.

- I don't even touched those people.

- You don't have to touch them.

If you're nearby and someone is

meant to be cured, then they will be.

- Like it or not, you've been chosen.

- Who chose me?

Whatever you want to call it.

The Big Chief, Mr. Creator,

the Supreme Being...

God?

- Well, that's the more popular name.

- I don't believe in God.

Pick another name.

The headaches are part of it,

they will go away.

Why do not we go outside

to get some air?

- Alec!

- No, no, stay away from me.

Welcome to the family, Alec.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah...

I had a nightmare.

Wait...

- What's going on?

- It was not a dream.

Everything Raymond told you is true.

You knew about all this?

Throughout all the Healers,

Cecilia's family has always been among

the few, who knew.

Our two families are connected.

- Why me?

- I thought it was worth a shot,

and if it wasnt you, atleast

I would've helped you.

Helped me?

You gave me two days!

The gift can only be activated...

when the chosen one is here.

And on his 30th birthday.

I just turned 30.

Alec, have you recently noticed...

that animals are

fascinated with you?

This morning, when you were detent,

how did you get out?

The handcuffs were loose...

The door just opened...

It's written:

"The Healer will not be...

bound by any man, he will be free. "

But we made-up the name...

for the shop in

London, "The Healer".

Yes. That was a bit strange,

but possibly more then a coincidence.

Oh, and then the ad in the paper?

Was that also a coincidence?

- No. I misprinted that on purpose.

- Why would you do that?

I did what I had to do, Alec.

Do I have a choice in any of this?

Yes. Yes, you do.

Tonight, the day after your

birthday, you must decide.

unless you reject the gift before midnight...

it's a bounty of your life.

Well, I don't want it.

Alec, you could help so many people...

I don't want anything to do with this!

Alec, listen, this is what

we are gonna do.

We'll leave you to think about it.

You got about six hours.

We'll be back before midnight.

And then what?

Sacrifice a goat and bathe me in his blood,

is that right?

That's always an option.

No, Alec.

Midnight will come and,

if you decide to accept,

We'll open a good bottle

of wine to celebrate.

What do you think?

I think it went quite well.

It's nearly midnight.

I don't want it.

I don't chose any of this.

Alec, I think you're making a mistake.

Well that's my final answer.

You know what?

Charlie, would wanted it.

- Don't you dare talk about my brother.

- Why not?

It's a truth, he should've been the next Healer.

He had a sense of responsibility.

Responsibility?

He don't even know you existed!

And where were you when

my mother died? Huh?

I love my sister.

- I just couldn't show myself...

- That's bullshit!

We keep it secret until

a time is right.

- That the way it's work.

- Well, this is the way it's work in my own.

I'm not gonna play Harry Potter for you both.

So what happens now?

I go back to London and you

don't pay my debts, right?

No, I'm a man of my word,

but you do have to remain here

for a full year.

You do realize that you can't

take this back.

Please, I don't want it.

Midnight...

I need you to go in to town.

Now?

Yes, everyone is gathered in the church.

- They're waiting for you.

- It's tradition.

- They think I will accepted the gift?

- They wanted you to.

This never ends, doesn't?

It will, after you told them your decision.

Fine, I'll go.

I go with you.

It'll be easier.

Wait wait.

Is this really necessary?

They all waiting, everyone, children too.

They gonna hate me.

Why can't you just tell them?

It's a least that you could do,

don't you think?

Hello everyone.

I know that it's late,

but Alec has been kind enough...

to come and talk to us.

Look, I'm sorry to say that...

I won't be your healer.

This whole thing has been so...

so strange and unexpected.

I just couldn't handle it, so...

I hope you'll understand and...

I'll be gone by next spring, so...

We must respect Alec's decision.

This wasn't for him.

Also we must be grateful for the gifts...

he did give us for the

past couple of days.

I know, I am.

Thank you, Alec, for our Rebecca.

She talks so much,

I want shut her up.

And I forgotten how annoying...

my wife's voices when

she's yelling at me.

Just got my test back...

sugar back to normal.

Thank you, Alec.

First time peeing without

praying the Rosary.

Thanks man.

I lost stutter.

I can't thank you enough.

Would like to show it off by,

sharing with you'll...

loud and clear, that

Mary and I are engaged.

Okay, okay, settle down.

Settle down.

Alec, you're part of this community,

and we cherish you stay here

regardless of your decision.

Thank you.

Girls...

- This is from all of us.

- Sorry we got you in trouble.

Sort of late,

but happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Alec!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Bailey?

Yes.

We came because our

daughter is very sick.

Look, I cleared all this up

yesterday at the meeting.

We are not from here.

We driven from far away to see you.

I can't help your daughter.

She has cancer.

Doctors said there is no cure.

I'm sorry that your daughter so sick.

Please, could you just come out

and take a look?

I'm gonna ask you politely

to please leave my property.

I've been harassed enough as it is.

It been a seven hour drive.

She's waiting outside.

Please, please, just leave.

Abigail, come on, sweetheart.

We gotta go.

It wasn't the perfume,

it wasn't my great cooking...

it was jealousy that woke the idiot.

Well, congratulations.

I love him so damn much,

I missed his stutter.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Hi. I'm Abigail.

You talk to my parents.

I can't help you.

Of course you can't,

I'm dying.

You need that piece of bacon?

I used to eggs and ate bacon.

After being zap with the

electrocuted to me...

I hate eggs and I love bacon.

You'll figured.

- I'm sorry you're so sick.

- Yeah, it's sucks.

Oh, don't worry, it's not contagious.

Look, Abigail, I'm not the healer.

Healers don't exist, Alec.

But this is what we're gonna do.

You and me.

We gonna hangout for the weekend.

That's how long we here on Lunenburg.

Look. My parents drove

me here, seven hours.

I don't wanna come.

You know why I said yes?

Because... They really believe

that you've a good shot to curing me.

Abigail, I...

Don't call me by my name,

if you gonna patronize.

Listen, they just realized

that I'm talking to you.

My parents has gone to so

much sh*t because of me.

Three hospitals, four years

living in the suitcases.

So... This is my gift to them.

- I can't...

- Yes you can.

Because you don'even have to do anything.

I'm not this nasty all the time.

It's two days.

Then i'm gone, and when I die,

they won't complain.

Darling, don't bother this man...

Guess what? Alec reconsidered.

He will try to cure me.
