Padre? How do we end this?

- Do what Valerie did.

Come to church.

Seek forgiveness.

- Ha ha ha! See, ain't nobody

gonna forgive me, preacher man.

- You're wrong. There's one

who forgives all of us.

Even you.

- I like you. I do,

but I don't think

God's gonna forgive me...

- Aah!

- Ray, wh... What-what

are you doing here?

- Uh...

Well...

I came here to apologize.

- Well... apology accepted.

- The Lord works

in mysterious ways.

Jojo, Chris,

and Ray...

Lot of domestics

going on at your place, Ray.

- Yeah, well,

you ain't gonna have to worry

about that no more, Officer.

I can swear on that.

- Detective, actually.

- Right, D-detective.

- Go on, get out of here, Ray.

And don't worry about Jojo.

When he wakes up,

it's gonna be behind bars.

Go on.

Folks just keep ending up

going to sleep on you, Pastor.

- Should I cancel the fight?

- I need you

to be the last man

standing in that cage.

- What about, uh...

quitting while I was ahead?

- Well, sometimes,

you gotta go all in.

I learned that

at the tables too. Hahaha!

- Yeah.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm Nicky Stone

and it is time for

the main event of the evening!

Entering now...

the man fighting

for the faithful,

the one and only

Chris "The Saint" Samuels!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Saint is unmasked!

- You got him, Saint!

- The first view of the Saint

for the WFW Heavyweight

Championship!

And his opponent,

from the depths of darkness,

bringing the battle

of good and evil

to its knees,

the WFW Heavyweight champion!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Reaper!

Gentlemen,

this is for the WFW

Heavyweight Championship.

Two men walked in;

One man walks out.

This is it, boys. This is it.

It's been a long time

for the second coming, Saint.

And the Reaper's here

to take your soul, again.

- I'm coming for that belt.

- You'll have to rip it

from my cold, dead body.

- Your choice.

- Yes.

- It looks so real!

- It's just a show, Carrie.

- You forgot one thing, Preacher.

- No.

- If God's with you,

then who will rise against you?

Me!

- No!

Ugh!

- No!

- Oh no, not again.

- We're making history here.

- Yeah!

This is what the end looks like.

- Go, Saint, go!

- Daddy!

- Come on!

- Get up, Chris! Get up!

- Gaaah!

Yeaaah! Yeah!

- Come on, Chris!

You can get up, come on!

- Stay down, Preacher.

Don't let your little girl

see you go out like this.

What kind of man are you?

Stay down, Saint.

- I'm not a saint!

I'm just a man!

Come on! Tap out!

There's no ref!

- Tap. He's gonna break it.

He's gonna break it.

- Tap out!

- No!

No!

- You gotta tap.

- No!

- Tap.

- There's no ref, tap!

I'm gonna break it.

- Daddy won! Daddy won!

- Yeah, he most certainly did.

- He tapped out!

He tapped out!

- I have no idea

what you're saying!

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the new

WFW champion:

The Saint!

Good job.

- Thanks, Nicky.

- I don't want to lose you.

- Ha!

Come on, take my hand.

Take my hand.

It's OK.

- Give it up one more time

for one of the greatest

of all time...

Christopher "The Saint" Samuels!

Dear Pastor Chris,

God has given you a gift,

even if you don't know it yet.

Everyone has to find that out

for themselves.

But with this gift,

you have to keep mastering it

every single day.

The only thing necessary

for the triumph of evil

is for good men to do nothing,

so go out and do

something about it, today.

- When you give someone

your shoulder to lean on

When you lend a hand

To lessen the pain

When you're suffering yourself

You still shield

someone else from the rain

When the world around you

feels like it's crumbling

And you wake up

with a smile every day

When you're empty as hell

There's still grace

in the words that you say

- You might be a saint

- I will remember your name

- You might be a saint

- I never will be the same

- You might be a saint

- 'Cause when you're near me

I'm not gonna break

You might be,

you might be a saint

There's a halo over you

When you're doing good

There's a ray of light

Every time that you give

It's not easy to see

You're the strength

we can be while we live

- You might be a saint

- I will remember your name

- You might be a saint

- I never will be the same

- You might be a saint

- 'Cause when you're near me,

I'm not gonna break

You might be,

you might be a saint

So don't give in

to the dark clouds around you

Be the sun and feel

the full-hearted souls

That surround you You're the one

Every day, people

can wash the injustice away

- It was you

who touched my heart

When the world

was empty and cold

I lay awake in my dreams

Praying for a miracle

In my life

Sometimes my tears

turn into rivers of pain

And I can't see the stars

They're just wasting away

You gave me strength

- You gave me strength

- When the river was too wide

When the sky fell down

on my world

You gave me everything

that I needed

To turn my life around
