Hey, God.

James Fisher here-- Junior.

God, I'm only days away

from getting out of this rehab

and I can't help

but be overwhelmed

by how awesome You are.

It's been 30 days

of sobriety, it's--

28 days, if I'm honest, God.

I can't, I can't lie to you.

Lord, I'm here to pray

for my hometown of Mount Zion.

God, it is crumbling.

I pray for my stepmom--

for Sharon Fisher.

I pray, God, you will help her

to find all the funding

for the homeless shelter.

Most of all, God, I pray

for my brother, Damon Fisher.

I don't know where he's going.

He's lost

his faith entirely, Father.

He's struggling in his marriage.

I mean, his wife--

she's so cold right now.

I don't know what happened,

but she-- it's like the Arctic.

Anyway, God,

I just, he needs you, Father.

Please, please help him.

Gabriel.

Michael, Michael, Michael,

Michael, Michael!

Do you

hear what I hear?

Glory be,

I hears the sound of prayer

from the brother of

our own Joaquin Prophet.

Damon Fisher of Mount Zion.

Do you hear what I hears

There you are, Raphael.

Hey, Mikey.

Raphael,

what an entrance.

Hey, Gabe, I loves you

and you, and you,

and you, and you.

We loves you too, Rafa.

Do you know why you've

been summoned here, Raphael?

Oh, I heard prayers.

Prayers for the prophet.

Our Father has chosen

a Walking Prophet

and, Raphael, you have

been chosen to go to Earth

and help him fulfill

his spiritual purpose.

Glory, glory, glory.

Thank you, Father. Woo!

And to

help this prophet,

you will

partially incarnate in flesh

and learn how humans live.

In flesh?

Like "flesh," flesh?

Or like, um--

walk I through this.

With human beings.

On Earth.

So I will have emotions

and-- and sensations

as humans do?

Does this,

by chance have anything to do

with the thought I had

two eons ago?

Chaos

is on earth, Rafa.

Father

needs to heal Mount Zion.

Well,

I is the angel of healing.

Precisely.

And I loves human

beings eternally, go I.

Glory.

How does

I help this prophet?

This

prophet has a demon.

One of Lucifer's

chief demons.

Oh, Lord, no.

I must heal.

How does I get

acquainted with this prophet?

I know

you're struggling

with your faith, but--

No, babe,

I'm not struggling.

- It's gone.

- Don't listen to her.

I don't

have faith anymore.

- Right, fine.

- God is a superstition.

Regardless.

I just feel like-

God is a superstition.

- Can I talk?

- Yeah, yeah.

I just feel as if

he doesn't take action

for our marriage,

unless I ask or persist.

No, no, no. I do,

I do everything for us, okay.

Wait, now one at a time.

Speak right to him, Cassandra.

Thank you,

Dr. Carradine.

Yeah, doctor? Okay.

Damon, honey,

mortgaging our home

to start a juice bar is

not doing everything for us.

- Whoa, babe, what.

- Cheap shot.

Your mother

gave us the house.

- Stepmother.

- Half the house, okay.

I, I owned half.

We, we own half

and then she owned half.

- Now, now we own it completely.

- That's a perfect logic.

That's not how

a mortgage works, honey.

- Oh, what do you know?

- I'm up half the night

most nights doing

any graphic design work

I can get my hands on just so

we can pay said mortgage.

I know. I know,

babe, you're amazing.

Plus

the medical school debt.

Yeah, It's bad.

It looks bad.

The truth is,

I don't feel comfortable

talking to you like this

unless we pay someone

and I'm ashamed of that.

- Ugh.

- We're a blatant cliche and---

You're a cliche.

I've been praying.

Oh!

- Why?

- What is this?

We need

to go to church.

- It would solve everything--

- Boo, boo, boo!

No, no, babe. We do not need

to go to church and pray, okay.

That's not gonna

magically fix everything, okay.

I'm sorry.

You're so open to nature,

but cold to God.

- No, honey, I mean--

- God!

And we barely make love anymore.

Okay, that's true.

That's very true, man.

I'm starting to think

you don't want children anymore.

Oh, we don't want children.

We do not want children!

Tell her we don't want children.

Tell her we don't

want children, ugh!

I'm just not ready, yet, babe,

- It's been three years, honey.

- No, babe, I'm sorry.

But it's been two years

since Pops died.

I meant--

yes, you're right.

Lord help us, you're right.

It's the miscarriage

you idiot.

Even I know that. You're dumb.

I know, okay.

You're really dumb, dude.

Yes, I know.

Okay, it's been three years.

- I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry.

- Am I crazy here?

Stupid lithium.

No, you are not the one

who is crazy, babe.

Get up, get up. Get up, get up!

Hey, come on buddy.

Get up, get up.

Come on, yeah.

Do those push ups.

You're getting swole.

Drinking the water.

That's right.

Oh, pushups, yeah, more pushups.

Yeah, turn the page.

Can you even read?

Seriously.

Hey, you're pooping, aren't ya?

Ah, fresh fruit. Like

that's gonna make her love you.

Oh, denied! Denied by the wifey.

Hey, hey, maybe you need

to do some more pushups.

Ah, you crack me up.

All right,

get the bag, get the flyers.

Come on,

plug in your headphones.

Come on. There it is.

Don't forget the shirt.

Come on, I'm waiting.

You really take forever.

Every morning you take forever.

Yeah sure text the wife,

even though she's

literally upstairs.

So pathetic and weak.

All right, hurry up.

Oh, come on.

Again with the breathing?

What, what do you

think it's gonna do, man?

I'm right here.

I'm not going away.

I'm waiting. I'm waiting.

All right

open up the door, dummy.

Come on I am you. You're me.

We're together.

Finally, you're late, again.

There he is.

Oh, perfect. Just like that.

Really? Baby needs hydration?

You took six steps.

There you go-- oh, you limping?

Come on, it's just one step

in front of the other.

There you go you're doing it.

Hey, you're walking.

You're walking, buddy.

You read these, when people

shove these in your mailbox?

Do you read 'em?

Nobody reads these.

How many more of

these houses do we gotta do?

Kenny Randy?

I'm listening to him right now.

He's on the radio.

I'm gonna be on tomorrow.

Well, we'll support you.

We always do.

- I appreciate it. Yeah.

- It's gonna suck.

So it starts at

six o'clock-- six o'clock.

Don't tell them

it's gonna be fun.

You know how my mom is anyways.

- Sure.

- Always acting crazy.

She gets a little jiggy with it.

A little jiggy.

Oh, yeah,

this is terrible dialogue.

All right, I'll see you later.

Here, let me get out

another one for you.

What's up? What's up?

Good to see you, buddy.

All right, what's going on?

Passing them out for an hour.

All over the neighborhood today.

- How are people responding?

- Don't even read them.

Ugh, stop having

those conversations.

They don't even like you.

Just give them one.

Just give them a flyer.

Say, thank you.

- Roth is the best, okay.

- All right.

- I don't like Roth.

- See you later, all right?

Nobody likes Roth.

Here I am now

and I'm gonna stay

All right. All right.

Okay, all right,

I'll see you. See you Mary.

You gotta get

better at talking to people.

You're really awkward.

You know that?

Ah, don't do that.

Don't touch that.

You're gonna fall off the edge.

You can't even walk

without falling.

Think this is a bad idea.

Hey, let's walk over there.

For-- it's foolproof for--

for stupid people like you.

- Oh, okay.

- Hey, hey, hey, remember.

Anybody trying to get a bed

at the shelter tonight?

Remember,

early bird gets the bed.

You're a sinner, Private Damon.

Aw, thanks,

Lieutenant George. Goofball.

I don't

think I like that guy.

Good morrow, folks.

You young folks

and you old folks.

You good folks

and you bad folks.

A very good morrow

to each and every.

Kenny Randy on the horn,

taking over the airwaves

this blessed morn

like I do every day of the week

from seven to 11.

And today, this day, oh,

this day we have a lineup to die

and go to heaven for,

I cannot lie.

Bananas, spinach, almond butter,

with a cashew milk base.

It's raw, it's organic

and all summer, we're all local.

Hey, and don't

forget Living Foods

does have a fantastic

full catering menu.

- Woo.

- Yeah. All right.

Living Foods,

free samples, everybody.

Here we go.

Boss, here.

All right, thank you.

Come on.

You were never gonna be as good

a doctor as your dad anyway.

Moving along day by day

We're good. We're good.

Trying to figure

things out for myself

Easier said than done I say

But it's not

like I haven't had help

I'm gonna be

on the first train

That can take me

far away somewhere

I'll never go if

I don't leave today

And it's about time

I'll be getting out of here

And every morning

one day in each town

Bring your wallets

and your appetites--

Everybody listen up, listen up.

Here it comes.

Two days

I'm gonna be live

at the St. Raphael shelter.

All the proceeds go

to keeping the shelter

open another year.

He didn't mention Living Foods.

He didn't mention Living Foods.

We asked him

to mention Living Foods.

How can he, ugh!

Hey, hey. All right,

thanks for coming, guys.

- Thanks for coming.

- Thank you, Damon.

Oh, you're welcome, girls.

Have a great day.

Okay, closing up

early guys and gals, sorry.

Thank you.

Now everybody get down

to St. Raphael's, okay.

Probably not

gonna have a bed by now,

but at least

you'll be able to get--

- Come on.

- Rebecca, hey.

How are you? Good to see you.

Hey, how's the

laryngopharyngeal reflux?

Yuck. Ah, disgusting.

- All right?

- All right, yeah.

You're a doubter!

You wanna get some, maggot?

- Shut up and give it!

- You heathen!

- You sinner!

- Hey.

- You owe me money, crazy.

- Stop!

- Get off of him!

- Fight, fight, fight.

- Give me that.

- Whoa-whoa, fight, fight--

- And your wallet

and that shirt.

- Come on.

- Stop your sinning!

Shut up, crazy.

You're lucky I don't have

my piece.

- You don't wanna do this, man.

- You're gonna die.

You're gonna die!

You're gonna die!

I saved you.

- Yeah.

- I saved you.

You're lucky I'm here.

It's okay.

Lieutenant George, let's go.

I got you.

You're okay, he's gone.

He's gone.

The archangel Raphael

descends to heal.

Oh, the seraphim

from The Most High God.

He descends for you,

Private Damon.

You sinner! You're all sinners!

You're a sinner

and you're a sinner.

Oh, your shirt's so dirty.

You smell like fish.

The systematic

deinstitutionalization

in this country

has been crippling

and is the number one cause

for the rise in homelessness.

From 1955 to 1994,

92% of people--

- Hey, babe.

- Hey, honey.

- Whoa.

- I'm sorry.

What happened?

You smell like death.

Oh, take it off! Take it off!

Tell her you're not a real man.

I got mugged

and I lost the deposit.

What?

Exactly, Cassandra.

My daughter-in-Law is responding

the way everyone

should be responding

to the council defunding

the St. Raphael Shelter.

We sympathize, Dr. Fisher.

We do.

However, the last administration

left us with massive debt.

This city council, this mayor,

we're not going

to do that to the taxpayers.

So, some services

just have to go.

This is wrong, Mrs. Capenelli.

You closed the rehab center.

You closed

the mental health facility.

This year it's the shelter.

What, what's it

gonna be next year?

Library,

fire department, schools?

Come on, people, geez Louise.

If I could say,

but, but one thing,

Council President Capenelli.

Go ahead, Mayor Owens.

A lot of us are with you,

Dr. Fisher.

Citizens, public servants,

we want your shelter.

We want our shelter

to thrive and flourish.

St. Raphael has been

an oasis for decades.

20 years, people. 20 years.

But the shelter was

founded by your husband, yes?

Dr. James Fisher,

the renowned oncologist

and former council president,

correct?

Who was also

the founding physician

of

Mount Zion Community Hospital.

- Some 35 years ago, correct?

- Correct, again.

Please, Mayor,

tell me more correct things

I already know about myself.

Personal feelings aside,

the decision

the council makes tonight

will be the decision

by elected officials.

The community

will be represented

and you will have

to accept that decision

knowing it is what is best.

Because we don't simply

believe it is what is best.

We know it is what is best,

because it's our jobs to

know what is-- what is best.

That said, I'm looking

forward to the fundraiser.

I plan on donating

thousands of dollars myself

to the homeless shelter.

Yes, Mayor.

And yet you support defunding

the crisis shelter of hundreds

of thousands of dollars?

The night--

you know the saying--

the night is always

darkest before the...

- Dawn.

- The dawn.

The dark is-- the night is dark.

- Night.

- When dawn--

when morning comes, you're

gonna feel a whole lot better.

Remember that, Doctor.

Complete fallacy and trite.

But thanks anyway, Mayor Batman.

All right, that's enough.

We are officially commencing

with the

Mount Zion City Council meeting.

Okay, now that

that's out of the way.

- That was fantastic, Mom.

- You're late.

Move on to resolution 543

to reallocate funds

from the shelter

to the Downtown Development

project and outstanding debts.

- I so move.

- Second.

All in favor

of the resolution, say aye.

Aye.

All opposed, say nay.

Nay.

All right,

the resolution has been approved

and will be

implemented immediately.

Do it. Get angry!

Feel the rage!

- Mount Zion is going to hell!

- Yes!

Mr. Fisher,

if you don't calm down

Chief Baez is going to escort

you out of the meeting.

No, no, no.

I got mugged today, okay.

A knife shoved in my face.

I was just trying

to help a homeless guy.

People are leaving this town

like rat's on a sinking ship.

Do you still actually believe

we have a population of 60,000?

Are you that deluded,

Mrs. Capenelli?

- Good show. Attaboy.

- Chief Baez, will you please

escort Mr. Fisher

out of the meeting?

- Leave him alone!

- We're not leaving.

Come on. Come on, Fishers.

Let's not make a scene.

Let's be civil.

Oh, I want you

to arrest me, Chief.

Tase me. Tase me,

Chief, tase me!

Yep, looks like you'll have

to arrest us, Mrs. Capenelli.

Live.

On the social media.

Motion to end

the meeting immediately.

- Second.

- All in favor, say aye.

- Really?

- Aye.

- Hypocrites!

- Cowards!

- Come on!

- Come on.

Heading

out the door, babe.

Don't forget

your new pepper spray.

All over it.

Ah,

you're late again, idiot.

Come on, stop--

You don't have to breathe.

Well, you do...

Hi.

God morning, Joaquin.

Hey there, um...

I'm sorry-- "Good morning?"

God morning.

I loves you.

Um, are,

are you selling something?

I is Saint Raphael,

the archangel.

A seraphim of The Most High God.

And you, you're a prophet

of The Most High God!

Ooh-whoo-hoo! I know.

- Oh, oh.

- Oh, wow.

Is this warmth?

Oh, I is happy.

Hey, hold on a second.

I is love and love is I.

And you, you are

salt of the Earth, prophet.

Oh, no need for pepper.

As the Psalms proclaim,

"Blessed be the Lord.

Glory be to The Most High God."

Huh, um, you know what?

Just, just give me a minute.

Okay.

I, I forgot something, okay.

I see your thoughts, Joaquin.

Just a minute. Rafa. Rifi, Rif?

Raphael. Raphael.

- Raphael, yeah.

- Raphael.

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Let us keep moving, prophet.

Time is funny.

Oh, hello.

Oh, you're pre--

no, you're pretty.

This is hard!

Babe, I got this strange feeling

I know this woman

outside from the shelter,

maybe the psych ward.

Oh, that's so fun.

Oh, humans do this every day?

Oh, I loves it.

- Ooh, it's so soft.

- Yep.

Um, you know, I think I might

drive her there myself, okay?

- More, more, more.

- I've got the pepper spray.

Okay.

Aw, you too, bud.

What would you

say to meeting my mom

and a couple of her friends?

Glory, can I see every

little thought you have.

My God, the fear.

Okay, so that's a, that's a yes?

Okay. Come on.

I can't wait for

you to meet my mom

Hear with your ears,

Joaquin, your physical ears.

The Most High

communicates through sound.

Hold on a second, let me--

See with your physical eyes,

Joaquin.

Where is your man

with the movie camera?

Sorry, what?

I asks you a question.

Where is your man

with the movie camera?

Now, hear with

your physical ears.

When I is present, the

grace of The Most High descends

and you cannot see or hear this,

this man,

the man with the movie camera.

Your demon,

he is a hallucination.

Is it a hallucination or

an hallucination? Oh, I get it.

It, um-hm,

it depends on the accent, yeah.

Human languages are

stranger than the actual humans.

Did you know

that in the English language

there's only one

word for the verb to be.

I do not

understand that one iota.

It's just like, ugh, words

and then words

on top of the words.

Words, words, words.

The archangels of The Most High

speak one language; love.

Prophet, hear with your ear.

Damon, kiddo, we might

have another bed tonight,

but probably not.

Look, I,

I wanted you to meet, um...

Damon? Damon?

Honey, I--

I don't have time to wait,

but we can talk about

the social media later.

Oh, us yelling.

Got some likes, right.

Thanks so much, kiddo. Love you.

- Love you too.

- Where are we?

What? What?

Hey, did I black out?

Did you black out?

What's going on?

Hey.

Thanks.

What's going on with you?

Hey, Damon.

What's going on with you?

Come on in, we're open.

Brother.

No.

- Junior?

- No. Yo, no.

He's just gonna want more money!

Hey. Hey, hey.

Breathe, brother, breathe.

Breathe, breathe.

- I gotta-- I gotta--

- Breathe.

I gotta say it.

For all the lies, for all the--

all the times that I--

I took money from you and--

and Pops-- I wasn't there.

James, buddy, it's okay.

It's all right,

buddy, I forgive you.

- It's not right.

- No, you don't.

Through Christ,

I ask for forgiveness.

I ask, I re-- repent.

I surrender Jesus to you.

I ask for forgiveness, God.

I ask for forgiveness,

healing of the nation, dear God.

He's just gonna ask

for your money.

- Hey, hey.

- He's just gonna ask you.

He's gonna give

you the sob story

and then he's gonna

ask for your money, man.

- Is that okay?

- Come on. You know this.

Don't fall for it, dummy.

You want a smoothie?

Oh, brother, I need a cigarette.

How did he even find you?

No one even knows

about your juice bar.

I'm sorry.

That's how terrible

this restaurant is.

I heard about the fundraiser.

Oh, you sure Dr. Sharon's

gonna want me there?

Ah, well, there's, there's

gonna be a lot of booze,

but, uh, of course, man.

She'd love to see you, Jimmy.

I'm actually going

by James now. James.

- Ha, sure.

- James, of course.

Yeah, of course.

James,

you're a drug addict.

No, I get it, bro.

- I wouldn't believe me either.

- Oh God!

But I'm gonna be praying

for you--

- More God?

- And the shelter.

I mean

hardcore prayers, brother.

Oh, here comes the Bible quote.

"I can do all things

through Christ

who gives me strength,"

Philippians 4:13.

So I'm staying

at the halfway house

and I'm gonna help get

people into Jesus there.

Fantastic, man,

you know, you are all over this.

Brother, God is all over it.

I'm a mess.

But with God.

Ugh, ugh.

God is so good, brother.

- He's been so good to me.

- Look at that face.

Just wanna punch

that guy in the face.

God you are so good

Holy God you are so good

Ruining my

smoothie experience.

Okay, this is embarrassing

James, James, it's okay.

Do you know that one?

No, no, I don't know that.

Hey, Ma, Junior's back in town.

Thank you.

You didn't give

him money, right?

No, I did not give him money.

He seemed good. He, uh--

Went crazy.

Found Jesus.

Geez Louise.

Dr. Fisher, Sharon.

Hi, Patels.

Come meet the Patels.

They're rich,

young, and new in town.

Bought major

commercial real estate.

Big money-- well, he is, but--

It's so good to see you,

Dr. Fisher.

You too.

- Mrs. Patel, come on.

- How you doing?

Well,

this is Damon, my son

and the caterer

for our fundraiser.

- Stepson.

- Yeah, yeah, you've gotta come.

I mean,

I'm planning an all organic,

plant-based extravaganza

of taste and health.

Well, we are vegetarians.

Aren't we, sweetie?

- Yes we are, sweetie.

- Really? That's fantastic.

Here you've gotta

come by the store sometime.

It's, it's Living Foods on--

And are you Kenny Randy fans?

- Huge fans. Aren't we, dear?

- Huge fans.

Well,

he will be broadcasting live

from our fundraiser.

Damon's gonna be on

the air with him tomorrow.

Yep.

Oh, get outta here.

By the way, Mom,

that, that woman from earlier

that I talked to you about,

she's here look--

- What?

- Where'd she go?

She was just,

she was just there.

You can buy

a whole table if you like.

That won't be a problem.

That's what

the Andersons are doing.

Well, we'll think

about it won't we, dear?

Anything for you, sweetie?

- Joaquin.

- Ah!

I, I gotta go to, uh--

pleasure to meet both of you.

Hope I see you tomorrow night

and just best of luck

to the whole Patels.

Bye, Damon. Sorry, come with me.

Hear with your ears, Joaquin.

I have been

sent by The Most High

in the name of the Son of Man.

You are blessed, prophet.

You're still a sinner, private.

You have been,

oh, recruited, scouted,

drafted for the army

of The Most High.

Oh, wow!

I feel like

you're not getting it.

You know a part-time prophecy.

Yep, prophecy

of the highest order.

Only six more days of work.

You have been chosen to save

Mount Zion from destruction.

You have been ordained,

anointed, prescribed.

No, that word,

ah-ha, predestined. Yeah.

Listen--

Is that gas and rubber?

Mm, oh, I love it!

Thank, Yah. Oh.

Leave me alone.

This is the Prophet Joaquin?

He's running.

I lived outside of time

and space most of the time.

So if we could just--

Cass, Cass, babe, are you here?

She can't help you.

Did you not drive today,

prophet?

Oh, okay, oh.

Hear with your ear.

What just...

Oh, you lost time

and a little gravity.

Just a little.

- How did you?

- What? No, I didn't.

I did nothing.

He does everything.

Oh, no, I don't believe

in that--

Wait, yet you

believe your demon, right?

When he tells you

what to do and say.

You know, uh-uh, hallucination,

no, that was incorrect.

Your man with a movie camera

is a demonic visualization

of your egoic self.

You have a demon, Damon,

one of Satan's chief demons.

The very same demon that

every human is battling, self.

That is your demon, Damon.

Damon with a demon.

Yeah.

That type of thing can

overwhelm emotional humans.

- So I plan to take--

- Breathe in.

Wait, no. I is

trying to love you, Joaquin.

Yah, yah, yah, he breathes

to ground himself. Okay.

Let us ground him.

Ah, glory, glory, glory.

Attention, prophet.

The prophet who

prophesizes of peace.

When the will of

a prophet comes to pass

and that prophet will be known

as the one whom

the Lord has truly sent.

Tell I when you

hear with your ears.

Say when, prophet.

Tell I when you hear

with your ears.

- Just say when.

- What?

Tell I when you hear

with your ear.

I hear it! I hear, I hear!

Quiet, quiet.

Hey, what the hell's

going on over here?

Hey, what just happened?

You didn't feel

anything in Rockford?

I read it was a 4.5.

But either way, Mom,

everyone was texting

and posting about it.

Crazy. Huh?

What? What?

Yeah. Yeah.

What is that?

- Uh-huh.

- What is that?

- Uh-huh.

- What is that?

What is that? Do you hear this?

Yeah, I know.

Exactly. I agree with you 100%.

It's the miscarriage you,

idiot. Even I know that.

Dumb. You're really dumb, dude.

You're-- okay,

you know you're right.

You're right. I'm sorry, babe.

I know.

It's been--

it's been three years, okay.

Am I crazy here?

Stupid lithium.

No, you are not the one

who is crazy, babe.

I miss your dad too.

I wanna talk about Pops.

But you won't.

I want to work this

anger with God. You won't.

Great, now stay in your body,

Cassandra.

This is an ambush.

They're ambushing us.

Wanna talk about Pop's death.

Shut up.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Fine, okay. I'm here,

let's talk.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Whatever.

Whatever,

whatever, I don't give a--

Oh, God.

Okay, that's not natural.

- What is that?

- Talk.

- Honey, where are you?

- Ugh.

Pops, Pops was...

Why is everyone sick?

Okay. Everyone is sick.

There's illness

and diseases everywhere.

I mean doctors are getting sick.

I mean, we aren't-- no, no,

doctors aren't

healers anymore, okay.

They're, they're diagnosers.

They point and they name.

"There it is. There it is.

"There's that disease.

That's it."

I mean two more months to live?

Who cares?

Take some pills.

It's garbage, babe.

So yes, of course,

I'm open to nature

because that's how

actual healing happens.

Doctors deal in death.

Babe, I don't

wanna deal with death.

I wanna serve the living, okay.

The body and the Earth

can be miraculous, okay.

Modern medicine doesn't work.

Prayer does not--

Yes, yes.

I just don't know why cancer

is k*lling everybody, babe.

Everybody's sick.

What kind of God creates cancer?

Honestly.

Yes!

Honey, honey, honey, I know.

I understand.

I've been praying so much

for you and our family.

I don't understand

God's plan sometimes, too.

There's no arbitrary God.

Yuck.

I love you, honey.

Great breakthrough.

I care about the business.

You know I do.

I want only success for you,

for us. God knows I do.

Ah, what is that?

What is that? What is that?

Where the hell

is that coming from?

Junior's back in town,

by the way.

Please tell me

you didn't give him money.

- You gave him money.

- Oh.

Hey, we need to go.

Okay, something's

really not right here.

There's things--

there's things coming out.

And I see them,

and I-- I don't--

I don't know what they are,

but--

hey, don't walk away from me!

Mr. Kenny Randy

will be with you in a minute.

No place else

you'd rather be than with me,

Kenny Randy, on AM 1410,

my friend.

Prepare to suck.

Damon, how you doing, buddy?

- Terrible.

- Fantastic.

You know-- thanks

for coming tonight, buddy.

- Thanks for everything.

- It's an honor.

No, your folks were amazing.

And I gotta say, I'm sorry

about what happened to your dad.

Yeah, me too. Thanks.

Good man. Good doctor.

Whatever.

So how long you been practicing?

Oh, I'm,

I'm not a physician, actually.

What do you mean you're not...

He's not a physician.

Oh, your mom's--

Okay, all right.

Stepmom.

Well, I--

I went to medical school.

I-- well, I'm actually

a small business owner.

After my dad died,

I started Living Foods.

Yeah, that's great, man.

Put your headphones on.

We got like a few seconds left.

Put 'em on, dude. Put 'em on.

Nothing to be nervous about.

We got you.

Easy, it's gonna be easy.

You feeling good?

Good, good, good.

What is that?

What is this?

And we're back,

bringing you the rhythm.

Bringing you the rhyme,

all of the time.

Now let me tell you this,

this morning we're gonna have

a geologist talk to us

about the insane earthquake

that was felt

all over the suburbs.

I even felt it

downtown a little bit too.

But that's gonna be

later on in the hour.

First, we gotta ask a question.

Are you feeling blessed?

Woo-hoo-hoo! I am!

Truly blessed?

And remember, part-time

prophecy.

Five more days.

No big deal,

as you humans might say.

That's what's happening

for me at St. Raphael Shelter.

Tonight we're gonna

have a fundraiser.

- So bring your appetites--

- Starting to feel emotions--

- Bring your wallets.

- As you do.

7:00 PM.

Come live or stay tuned.

It's, it's so interesting

'cause I'm crying.

And right

now in the studio--

And I feel sadness.

Oh, thank, Yah.

The former director

of the St. Raphael Shelter.

Glory be to God.

And son of the late, great

James Fisher.

That man is Damon Fisher.

He's in the studio right now,

ladies and gentlemen.

Damon, welcome to the show.

Thanks, Kenny.

Damon, I have to say right now

that I have been

feeling moved by the spirit

to bring you into this show.

So let's just cut

all the small talk.

Let's get down to business.

Tell the folks.

Uh, well, the,

the village of Mount Zion

has cut funding to

St. Raphael's crisis shelter.

Ouch, ouch,

they cut funding to the--

out there by

Allen River and Mount Zion

with the

glorious community hospital

and, and the,

the wonderful homeless shelter

that's taking a hit this year.

That's what you're telling me?

They lost state funding

years ago, federal, decades ago.

The mental health

facility closed last year.

Um, and now with the

local public funding gone,

the shelter might close.

That's hard to hear, folks.

Lord, that's hard to hear.

All right, well, my listeners

know that I'm from Mount Zion,

born and raised and I

have lost family members

due to addiction and depression

amongst-- amongst other things.

So, I am and always will be

an advocate for mental health

and the homeless.

These are the issues

that affect all--

I is too.

And I know that your

entire family has been--

They're salty.

Did you know that?

Dr. Sharon Fisher,

who currently splits her time

between saving lives--

I'm gonna touch your crown.

Do not loose faith, prophet.

Okay, is there a crowdfunding

campaign website

that you wanna

mention here, Damon?

Oh, okay. All right,

he's a little nervous, folks.

That happens. That happens.

You want some water?

Now, tell your community

the truth.

Okay, don't worry about it.

I'll tell them about this.

About the corruption?

About the what?

Prophesize, prophet.

Yah. Yah, yah.

Mount Zion is in debt

and is crumbling.

People are starting to

wonder if there's corruption.

The people are?

God is going local, not global.

Does this anything

to do with the fundraiser?

God is going local, not global.

I like it. There it is.

Time is funny, prophet, speak.

Okay, you can't

just drop corruption

and then not explain; Damon?

Fantastic.

- Joaquin--

- Can I just talk

- about the shelter?

- I did not wanna do this.

- For now which--

- I is frustrated, Father.

Living Foods, will be catering--

I must do what I must do.

I can't wait for you

to try my menu.

Show me another way.

It's-- it's fantastic.

Living Foods, huh?

- Fine.

- Uh-huh.

Do not lose faith, prophet.

No, don't--

Corruption,

embezzlement, collusion.

Local fascism,

all the way to the top.

Mayor Owens?

Mayor--

Mayor Kevin Owens of Mount Zion?

Damon is,

is there something that you know

that you're not telling us?

I mean, are you--

Embezzling funds from the city,

adding to the massive debt,

forcing social programs

to close.

Okay, all right, there--

there you have it, folks.

There you have it.

Mayor Kevin Owens.

I-- I'm talking about the mayor.

I'm not talking

about the rest of them.

Mayor Kevin Owens of

Mount Zion and I'm sure that--

Proof is on the way.

There it is. There it is.

You, you heard it here, folks.

Um, we will be bringing you

more on this story

as it progresses.

All right, we're gonna be

here at the fundraiser tonight.

It's gonna be live

and stay tuned because it is

getting juicy out here, folks.

I cannot lie.

Damon?

- Joaquin.

- That is not my name.

Yah. I is trying to help you.

Surrender to the will

of The Most High.

I don't need--

I don't need your help.

Every human needs help.

Laughter, I love laughter.

Thanks to Yah.

I don't believe

in God anymore, okay?

Welcome to your story, Joaquin.

Coming back to faith

in The Most High

You have two arcs, don't ya?

One character, one angel.

I mean thank The Most High

that you don't

have to pull a Noah

and build a different

type of ark,

if you catch my drift,

you know what I mean?

Can I get an amen?

Thank ya.

No, no, thank you.

For Yeshua's sake, Joaquin.

It's not like you have to

wander the land in a sackcloth

and sandals

preaching the Armageddon.

Saving the shelter,

practically done.

Then the town,

and then your marriage.

Uh-uh-- my marriage is fine.

Do you not hear with your ears,

Joaquin?

No, what about what I--

what about what I--

What you just said on the radio.

I mean is, is any of

that true about the--

Look at the energy.

I gotta go, um, but I'll explain

everything tomorrow, right.

Godspeed. Okay, bye.

Hey, bro.

The Spirit

moved you, brother.

Glory to Christ Almighty.

Woo-hoo!

No, no, no, dude.

Dude, I'm not sure what

I was saying. I just--

Everyone's

posting about it.

It's mostly local platforms,

but we all knew

something was fishy.

Now we knew the truth.

The people are behind you.

Real sick and tired of this.

Yeah, dude,

I don't have any evidence, man.

I don't know what I'm saying.

No.

I read you loud and clear.

And I know

a hacker guy from rehab.

I'll give him a call.

- Glory be to God!

- Oh, no-- no, James.

James, brother.

What is going on here?

What did this so-called angel

tell you about me, huh?

Find your stupid car now.

Hey, Josie. What's up?

Health inspector's here.

Are they still here?

Where are they?

They said it was random, I...

"Flagged several items in areas,

"Living Foods

is officially in review

"by the Board of Health."

Didn't we just get

inspected like last month?

- Last two weeks--

- Come on!

I was gone two hours.

How is this possible?

I left one juice code

in the fridge.

I was gonna pull the codes

this morning too.

I swear to God!

Just the one old juice?

- One old juice?

- Ridiculous!

- That's it?

- Is that true what you said

on the radio this morning, boss?

- Oh.

- No, it's not true, Josie.

The so-called

angel is outside yourself?

The so-called force for good

is forcing you to do things

against your will.

Think about that.

Think, think, think, think!

Hey, babe.

Sorry I missed your call.

I was, uh--

So the mayor's office

just emailed me

and told me that

my graphic design services

are no longer needed.

Well, the-- the election's

been over for months,

maybe they

don't need you to, uh--

I'm on social media, Damon.

Honey, what's going on?

I don't wanna be angry.

I want to understand.

Please, just talk to me.

Is it true?

No, it's not true.

It's all a scam.

It, it really could be.

Yeah, I mean...

Yeah,

we're looking into it.

What

are you talking about?

- Who's we?

- Hang up!

Look, I'll explain more tonight.

- Hang up!

- I'll see you tonight.

I've just got so much to do,

you know for, for tonight,

I scheduled

an appointment

- with Dr. Carradine tomorrow.

- Hang up. Hang up!

You were

being serious, right?

No. No! Well, I don't, I don't--

No, say no.

You were

acting weird yesterday too.

Why are you being weird?

We need everyone at their

absolute best tonight, please.

Talk to the Patels.

They're rich and they

might even enjoy your food.

All over it, Mom. I'm good.

I'm good.

Do you have a mole

in the mayor's office?

- What do you have on him?

- Nothing.

No, no. I-- I don't have a mole.

This could be good for

the shelter if it's true,

but you can't accuse someone

of something without evidence.

Of course, Mom.

City council wants to talk.

When?

Now.

- Unanimous?

- Ugh.

It's out of our hands, really.

City policy, Mr. Fisher.

We have a backup caterer.

It could be temporary.

We will consider you

for our next event.

Thanks, Bob.

Love the juice bar, by the way.

It's a raw food restaurant,

Councilman Nameless

and Irrelevant.

There's something in the way

Hi, Jenny Patel.

Yes.

That's not alcohol is it?

Oh!

You guys,

I want you to meet the Reverend.

Go up to him and apologize

and all the health

department issues go away.

Do it. Do it, do it!

I said do it!

Go now.

Do it. What are you doing?

Hey, get up. I said do it!

Get up. What are you doing?

- Get up right now!

- Damon, what are you doing?

Just helping

to circulate the blood

and nutrients and energy, Ma.

I'm so sorry, kiddo.

You know I tried

to talk to them, but--

I understand, Ma.

Honey, you--

you know you can go home, right?

You don't have to be here.

I wanna support you

and the shelter.

And save your business.

Thanks, kiddo.

Do you know where Eric is?

It's about time.

What goes around

comes around.

Hello, everyone.

Are we all here

for the fundraiser?

It's actually

a semi-formal this evening.

Where's the mayor?

And-- and there are tickets.

- There he is,

- WOMAN: Mayor Owens.

Criminal Owens.

Go back to wrestling,

Kevin Owens.

I am a different Kevin Owens.

What do you have

to say for yourself?

Take it outside, guys.

This is a nice,

peaceful, private event.

It's okay, Chief,

I'm glad you asked that.

I'd like to read a statement

that will be

tweeted out on my Twitter,

on which I have

15,000 followers.

That's a lot of followers,

people.

I have served the city of

Mount Zion nobly and humbly,

yet everyone has heard

this disgusting accusation.

These claims are false.

And I implore anyone including

the--, this--

this smoothie shop owner

to bring evidence,

real evidence against me.

I love the city

of Mount Zion with my heart

and-- and I would

never do anything to hurt it.

For the record. There are

absolutely no missing funds.

The City Council has

added a meeting on Sunday night

to finish that last meeting

that was so disrupted.

And we will open

the floor to the community.

Bring it on!

- Recall! Recall!

- James.

- Recall! Recall!

- Brother!

What are you doing here, Junior?

I'm James, Sharon, and

I'm not here for the fundraiser.

I'm here for the protest! Woo!

- Recall, recall, recall--

- You're hurting my feelings.

You're hurting my feelings.

You're hurting my--

Recall, recall, recall.

What are you talking about?

What would Jesus do? Huh?

Would He sit down and be

quiet watching all this go on?

No, He would call out the

Pharisees for their hypocrisy.

He would bring to light

the corruption that is fascism.

- Recall, recall, recall.

- Woo.

Let's take this protest

outside City Hall!

Everybody, come on.

Come on, brother.

You're with us, bro.

You gotta join the fight.

Recall, recall.

I'm meeting with my hacker

friend from the rehab soon.

Recall, recall. Recall, recall.

God's got a plan, brother.

He's got a plan.

- Recall, recall--

- James.

Recall, recall,

recall, recall.

Whoa!

Pray it til the walls

come crumbling down

Whoa!

That's how you kickstart

a fundraiser, right?

I cannot lie. Do I lie?

No, I do not.

Now, okay, stay tuned.

As I break down what's

going down here at the village

of Mount Zion as we

get this party started.

Woo!

Hey, get up, man.

We need to talk.

- Oh, God.

- Come on.

You need to come

downstairs right now.

We need to talk.

Get up! Come on,

get up, get up, Damon!

God morning, prophet.

Oh, apologies for not being

with you all day yesterday.

You did glory on your own.

The Most High loves you.

You know,

I could lose my business.

This isn't business, prophet.

This is w*r.

Are you still not

hearing with your ears?

Oh, I-- I is frustrated.

Oh, okay, so where's

this proof about the corruption?

Spoilers?

Nah, I mean is the shelter

not halfway to their goal?

Give glory to The Most High God.

Now, no, we don't need

any more help here, thank you.

You need to surrender.

Now, take one step

to your right.

What?

Take one step to your right.

Ah! What the hell?

You are not

hearing with your ear.

Now, I is angry now.

I don't care! Ah!

The Most High chose I

as your personal archangel,

because I messed up.

Got something wrong,

wait, oh, missed the mark.

- Dropped the ball.

- What'd you do?

I-- it's hard to talk about,

especially in English.

I-- I had a thought.

A thought?

I is having all these

thoughts all the time

and I, I is not happy about it.

What was the thought?

That human beings can't change

and are doomed

to destroy themselves.

Not that I believe that thought.

Wait, I thought you

could see the future.

Heavens, no.

No, I can only

see what The Most High

has determined for Himself.

Not what human beings

still need to decide.

Oh.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

I would never force you

to do anything

that you don't wanna do.

We're family.

You and I, all right.

Hey, hey, I would

never force you to do anything.

Hey, don't walk away from me.

Hey, get back over here.

Raphael. God heals.

She's the demon, right?

I mean alien to all you know.

Outside yourself.

Alien-- alien parasite.

Think, think,

think, think.

Brother, this little library

is so cool.

They've got The Passion

of the Christ on VHS.

VHS, man.

- Shh!

- Sorry. Sorry.

Also, God's directed me.

I'm gonna be an entrepreneur.

You're looking at

an entrepreneur right now.

Just like my brother, man.

- Ha!

- Fantastic, man.

Yeah, a entrepreneur.

"An" entrepreneur?

- An entrepreneur.

- A drug addict.

An entrepreneur.

- Hey!

- Shh!

We-- sorry--

we should do something together.

Can you imagine the

Brothers Fisher entrepreneur.

- It's perfect.

- Sure.

Yeah. All right.

Um so, James, do you remember

a few years ago

after Pops' funeral

we, uh, we talked about the,

uh, the--

No. Stop it!

I direct you

right now to stop it.

- What?

- Stop it!

Actually, never mind.

I was, I was just, uh...

The man with the movie camera?

You remember?

Yeah, brother. I do.

I'm listening. What's up?

Well the, uh,

the man with the, uh...

Did he come back?

He never left.

- Well, we gotta pray.

- No!

But the accusation alone...

Accusations on social media

can ruin lives

even if they're untrue.

Like on the radio.

I know, babe. I'm all over it.

What does that even mean?

Look, I'm not mad

because I lost a client.

I'm mad because clearly

there's something

you're not telling me.

We need to talk honestly, honey.

Don't listen to her.

She's a devil woman.

If I tell you the truth,

you're gonna think I'm crazy.

Honey, no. I wanna know.

The truth is always best.

- Like you. Like you.

- Great, everyone feels

in unique ways.

Now be honest, Damon.

That's what we're here for.

- Stupid camera.

- Talk to her.

Camera's not even working

anymore.

It's not even working

or it's stupid.

I didn't want

to say what I said.

It, it, it was--

Oh, he's k*lling me.

It wasn't my own, my own will.

Okay?

It was kinda God's will.

It is not!

Okay, you know I believe in God.

Let's go to church this Sunday.

- Yeah.

- Why?

Um, a few days ago,

I, uh, I started

talking to someone.

- It's a lie.

- Someone I'm still--

- Tell her you're lying.

- Not sure how to explain.

I'm listening.

You're lying. Tell her!

Tell her you're lying!

It's okay to cry, honey.

He's not gonna cry!

Oh. Oh, honey.

- Ugh.

- Great.

Stop lying.

I'm not crazy. We're not crazy.

You're not crazy.

We're not crazy.

They're crazy, we're not crazy.

Where you going?

I don't think I'm learning

that--

Mary! Councilman Waters!

Bob.

Hello.

Hi, Damon.

Look, free

samples all day today.

Come on.

Come on, you can't beat free.

So, I like my food cooked

and I was, like,

reading more and more

and I don't believe in your

beliefs and your philosophy.

Mayor Owens is a good man.

Look, I know you're hurting,

but you need to be

a good man too.

Come on, Mary.

Really? Traitor!

Ah, shut up!

You're all sinners!

You need to surrender

to the will of God.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you--

Sinner, you need to surrender

- to the will--

- Hey, stop.

Sinners, sinners.

Surrender, surrender!

Surrender!

I don't know what to do, Pops.

Do not pay

attention to that noise.

Oh.

What's up, James.

Brother,

I swear on my cat's grave.

I, I just, I don't think,

I didn't tell Sharon.

- You didn't--

- Just shut your mouth.

You should talk

to Dr. Johnson at Mount Zion.

He's not crazy.

I would never say that.

Crazy is an awful term, Junior.

It's a trigger word.

Don't, don't call me Junior,

Dr. Sharon.

Don't test me, James.

Why don't you

support your son here, Ma?

I do. Look...

What happened

that made you believe

that this angel is real, kiddo?

Surrender.

It was that earthquake.

This angel

made it happen, kinda.

I didn't say that

stuff on Kenny Randy, okay.

This angel did.

I lost all control

and, and she makes

things happen, kinda.

She? I is non-binary.

Sounds and noises.

- Voices?

- Noises.

Things that just seem to happen.

There that, that.

Did you, did you guys

just see that light flicker?

Heaven, yeah, I did, brother.

The-- the body is

miraculous, kiddo.

Subconsciously,

we can feel all energy, the--

What, what are

you talking about?

Do you even believe God anymore?

Yes.

I can believe in medicine

and God.

Yeah, but you don't.

You don't need God.

I mean, I mean, Pops...

Pops, he needed God.

We may not all agree on Him,

but, but he's a--

a need for most people.

Not for you.

Are you judging me, James?

Aren't you supposed

to love everybody always,

now that you've been born again,

huh, Saint James?

I thought you were

supposed to be supportive

and motherly, Mother.

This is not about me being

supportive and motherly, James.

And I know something

about losing both parents

at a very young age.

I have done the very best

that I could to raise you

and you know that.

You-- you say

you're clean, again.

But most mothers

would have given up on you

a long time ago

and you know that.

But I, I haven't.

I would never give up

on either one of you

and I, your,

your dad was so much better

at talking about God.

I think-- I hope that I--

that I have shown you

how much I love you

and, to me, God is love.

Yeah, I know you did, Mom.

I'm really sorry.

I know I hurt you a lot.

- Oh, it's okay.

- I know I left it, to--

I put you in such an

impossible position with dad

- and he was dying and I--

- No, it's okay.

It's okay, son.

I'm sorry too, honey.

I'm sorry, son.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

Tell them to check

the crowdfunding numbers.

I got you now.

Cross my light

and hope to live.

All is well.

Joaquin, where is your faith?

I don't have faith.

It's James, right?

It's not ever Jimmy or anything?

- No, it's James.

- I'm going nuts.

Have you talked to Cassandra?

You need to tell her.

Have them check

the crowdfunding numbers.

Hey babe. Love you.

- Hey, sis.

- Hey, daughter.

Hey, what's going on, guys?

Where is your faith?

Do not tell me

it is walking away.

Kiddo?

Holy-- uh...

I checked the crowdfunding

numbers early.

It's, uh,

$700,000 in about three hours.

Miracle.

- Amen.

- Oh, that's amazing.

It's an email from the--

it's the Patels.

Ah, they have a cousin.

Well, he has a cousin.

She's a Bollywood dancer

or actress.

She has two million followers.

She reposted it.

Whoa!

I mean, holy cow, right?

Social media.

Holy cow.

- The angel's talking.

- I is.

Right now.

What?

An angel. An archangel.

I'm talking to one, kinda.

Yeah, see that, that's

what I couldn't tell you before.

Didn't want you

to think I'm crazy.

Blessed.

Crazy for The Most High.

Okay, uh.

Brother, I know you two probably

have a lot to talk about,

but we really need to

talk about starting a podcast.

We're gonna start a podcast.

Oh, okay.

I spoke to your mom

on the phone.

We had a good talk.

Run! Run!

Don't sit down.

Huh?

We made an appointment

for you to see a psychiatrist.

Your mom's friend,

Dr. Johnson, next week.

You should talk to someone

other than family about this.

We love you and we want

what's best for you.

Don't listen to her!

Fantastic. Yeah,

I hear you, babe, absolutely.

Hey!

Look, I just, I need

to tell you something, okay?

I'm listening.

I'm trying to understand.

I love you.

I wanna tell you the truth

about everything, okay.

No! You're an idiot.

I wanna take action

for our family, okay.

You're an idiot! Stop it!

We love you, honey.

We only want

what's best for you.

I know. I know.

I just uh, um--

Shut up! Shut up!

I might have to go

on Kenny Randy--

- You're an idiot!

- Again... Kinda.

- Have to?

- Yeah.

I don't think I have a choice.

I don't wanna get angry now.

That's not what you need.

Just listen to your mom

on this one. Please?

Yeah. Yeah.

Do you believe in angels?

I believe in God.

And God wants what's

best for you, I know that.

Don't listen to her.

Hey, get out here.

Get outta there!

Honey...

God morning, Joaquin.

Human, I'm like your man

with the movie camera.

Nothing can stop

The Most High from reaching you.

Silly human.

I'm coming for you.

You need to tell

your wife about I.

I was just there, you weren't.

And the miscarriage.

We did.

False. Truth is better.

Joaquin, your destiny

awaits and Yah knows it.

Human, I have had

it up to there with you!

If you do not fulfill

your prophecy--

"For no one lights a lamp

"and puts it under a bushel

nor a hidden place.

"Rather,

he puts it on a lampstand

"so that everyone

can see its light."

Wow.

"No one tears a piece

out of a new garment

"to patch an old one, otherwise,

"they will have

torn the new garment

"and the patch from the new one

will not match the old."

I mean, whoa.

This is some genius stuff.

Oh, here's one,

I like this one too.

"No person drinks old wine and

immediately desires new wine.

"New wine is not

put into old skins

"so that they do not burst."

Whoa. So what do

you think of that?

Put into a new wine skin

so that it does not spoil it.

Oh, and, and an old patch is not

sewn into a new

garment because a tear--

Please stop, please.

Please stop. I pray, ha--ha.

If you had faith,

that might work.

Ugh.

But you don't, so that's why.

Oh, I is being funny.

I is being all funnies.

I is being funnies.

Oh, Joaquin.

Hey babe.

Hey, turn around now!

Listen to me.

Done said it again

The words I know you hate

Trying to pull

back anger's reigns

- Hey, babe.

- Hm?

I promised

I would keep my lips closed

If there ain't love in what

I say paint me a liar again

'Cause I'm

tripping on my tongue

It's dripping with folly

Trying to find the words

to say that I'm sorry

I'm so sorry, babe.

I need you

I'm so sorry I can't

talk to you about anything.

I wish that I could

talk to you about everything.

You need to prophesize now.

You have to choose.

I'm done.

No, not yet.

Now is time for prophecy.

I'm done, okay.

I'm taking action.

I'm choosing. I'm done.

Cross my light and hope to live.

This is the last

thing you have to--

well, that I can help you with,

prophet.

Painless, like before.

Don't, don't touch me, okay.

I'm done with

things just happening to me.

I'm not passive. I'm active.

You need to surrender to

the will of The Most High God

for the sake of both you and I.

No, no, part-time only.

Part-time!

You said that.

Three more days.

Do not lose faith.

Do you not want

to know the prophecy?

No.

Do you

really not wanna know?

No!

Joaquin! I, the Archangel

Raphael is the prophecy.

You, the Walking Prophet,

need to tell

everyone about angels.

It is your path, your journey,

your quest, your prophecy.

Joaquin! I is not angry,

Father, I is disappointed.

I've already told everybody

and everybody

thinks I'm bonkers.

I'm done.

Do you wanna know my path,

my future,

my prophecy that I see?

It's shutting my mouth.

I'm paving my own path.

It's my own free will.

Oh!

No, no!

Shh.

The spirit has him. Mm-hm.

No, what?

I has none time for this,

Father.

- Prophet, come here!

- No, no!

Do you not wanna save your home?

At this point,

all is I wanna do is go home.

And if you do not prophesize,

I cannot prophesize my--

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

You must hear with your ears.

You must surrender.

Angel of healing?

Okay, you?

You are the angel of healing?

Okay, Raphael means God heals.

Okay, why didn't God

send you three years ago

to save my oncologist dad

who died of lymphoma?

Why did God k*ll a cancer doctor

with cancer, okay?

I have a little theory.

It's because God

is more interested

in dramatic irony

than human beings.

I am done!

I don't wanna be a doctor!

I don't wanna be a prophet!

I don't wanna be crazy!

Crazy for The Most High.

Oh, I does not like

anger incarnate here!

Woo, I does not.

I'm sorry for the human emotion.

I loves love.

I loves you, Joaquin.

The Most High

loves you beyond words.

Here, let I prove it to you.

Oh, Damon.

Oh boy, what a week, huh?

Been quite a week, man.

A lot of people

want you back on the show.

That's what I'm hearing.

- Faith walk.

- Fantastic.

So-- so, so, so...

what did you wanna talk to me

about before the show?

Tell him love you

more than yesterday.

Go on.

Uh, I'm

supposed to say love you--

More than yesterday.

Nice.

Excuse me?

Repeat, reprise, encore.

Uh, love you...

More.

- More than--

- Yesterday.

- Yesterday.

- Yeah.

All right, Damon, all right

what's going on here?

Does that mean something to you?

It was the last thing

his daughter said to him.

She died of cancer

four years ago.

Was their inside phrase

throughout her childhood.

She was six years old.

Their secret.

No one outside

their family knows. Yeah.

- Can, can he hear you?

- No, no, no, no.

I just, I find whispering

to be more dramatic. Yah.

It's true.

All right. All right,

um, I'm sorry.

Yes, Damon,

that means a lot to me.

What's going on?

The Archangel Raphael is

dictating to me as we speak.

Um...

The Archangel Raphael is--

Do you believe in God? Yeah?

I definitely do.

Yeah, what's going on, man?

Do you need an energy boost?

I'm here if you need it.

Uh, would you

believe me if I told you

- an archangel sent me here?

- Raphael, Raphael.

- The Archangel Raphael.

- Raphael.

Raphael? Archangel?

Uh, she's,

she's dictating to me right now.

What is with the she?

I is a non-binary seraphim,

prophet.

Well, she looks like a wo--

okay, I'm sorry.

But the-- the angel,

the Archangel Raphael,

is dictating to me and

told me about your, uh...

Monica. It's Monica.

- Monica.

- Monica.

Oh, Damon...

Damon, Damon, Damon,

Damon, Damon, Damon...

I wanna throw you out

and I wanna listen more.

I wanna hug you

and I wanna punch you

in the face.

Damon, your dad,

your dad treated Monica

and he overheard

she and I saying this...

That's what happened

and you're just remembering.

You had a hell of a week, man.

I get it.

Tell him that Monica

chose ballet up in heaven

and, oh,

she is dancing up a hurricane.

It's beautiful.

Tell him. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm, ballet.

She-- or-- they--

- Raphael.

- The angel,

the Archangel Raphael wants,

wants me to say...

Yeah.

Monica chose ballet. In heaven.

And she's

dancing up a hurricane.

Come here, come here.

I'm sorry, man.

Say it again.

Dancing up a hurricane.

Say it again! Say it!

She's dancing up a hurricane.

I haven't got a choice, man.

She chose ballet.

She chose ballet.

She did, man.

Pirouetting, pirouetting.

She was

She, uh,

she loves to pirouette.

Dancing, dancing

With angels now

Back from the break folks, back

to Mount Zion, the shelter--

Cross my light and hope to live,

prophet.

It all works out.

- And this Sunday--

- Faith walk.

- The big city council--

- Take a faith walk.

In the studio,

we have the young man--

You must take

a faith walk, Walk.

English can be fun.

I give Yah that for sure.

Damon, how are

we looking, buddy?

Surrender.

How are we looking, Damon?

Okay, all right.

He's nervous.

That's understandable.

Let's all send him some good

prayers and good vibrations.

So I, uh...

Yay. Yay, woo-hoo! Yay, God.

I have been talking to an angel.

- Yah.

- The Archangel Raphael.

- Oh, I loves you.

- She's in the studio

with me right now.

Yes, she is, he is, they are.

You made a huge mistake!

You loser! You imbecile!

You nothing!

You waste of

perfectly good skin.

What the hell is this?

What's going on here?

Anxiety, confusion, shame!

Woo, T-shirts.

Who wants a T-shirt?

Angel&damon.com.

Best new podcast in Mount Zion.

- T-shirt? Fantastic apparel.

- James.

Hold on one second.

We're gonna get on that.

- James, what the hell, man?

- You!

Brother! Look what the Lord

has brought us today.

Who are these people?

Well, they were

over at the juice bar.

They were looking

for the angel man,

which I love, by the way.

On another note, though,

did you wanna do

the recording today?

Did you wanna do it tomorrow?

When did you

wanna get in studio?

Stop, stop.

What, what are these shirts?

Angel&damon.com.

It's for the podcast.

Remember,

I was telling you about it?

We-- I didn't make that many.

We could do

a totally different name.

We could do Fishers of Men.

I-- I thought

they would be good.

Cass, Cass, babe.

I didn't do this.

Cass that,

that's, that's my fault.

If you could hold on one second.

I gotta go.

Babe, babe, talk to me. Come on!

Cass,

this is all my fault.

You go away!

- Okay, that's fair.

- Surrender.

Babe, I didn't

have a choice, okay.

Remember, I told you

I might not have a choice

to go on the radio again?

Do you hear yourself?

Everyone has a choice, everyone.

You need to take responsibility

and you need to be examined.

You're not thinking straight

and I know you say

that God is giving you signs.

Maybe He is, but I don't

think God is giving me signs.

I know He is and He's telling me

to go to my parents' place

in Rockford.

I don't feel safe.

No, babe.

The Most High

has a plan, prophet.

Cross my light and hope to live.

Then either help or shut up!

Babe, babe, I love you, okay.

Look, this is all gonna

be over in a few days, okay.

Cross my heart and hope to live.

Look, everything's

gonna be fine.

Babe, I'm all over it.

Please, Lord, help my husband.

Oh, I have to tell you!

Damon, honey,

your mom and brother

didn't want me to tell you this.

James does have a hacker friend.

He hacked the mayor...

Found nothing, nothing.

Please call me

after you see Dr. Johnson.

You can't trust a drug addict,

brother. I'm sorry.

But God's got a plan though,

brother.

I know He's got a plan.

Absolutely, babe.

Babe, pray that my

appointment goes well, okay?

Babe, I can fix this.

I can get rid of these people.

I can fix this.

I loves you, Joaquin.

Why aren't you helping me?

I wishes I could.

You must surrender on your own.

I wishes I could.

You wouldn't shut up before,

now you do nothing?

I cannot force you any longer.

It would be selfish of me to.

If you fulfill your prophecy,

I fulfill my purpose and I can--

I can go, I goes home.

My journey

is intertwined with yours.

You must surrender on your own.

Get the hell

outta here, okay.

- Brother--

- I'll call the police-

Brother, hey,

brother, it's my fault.

You shut up, Junior!

You shut up and

shut that off, okay?

I didn't ask for any of this.

You get these people outta here

or I'll call

Chief Baez personally, okay.

- You don't have to--

- Shut up!

What do you need, Ma.

So you heard?

Have you been

to the juice bar yet?

Josie, what's up?

The county shut us down.

What?

Angel man,

angel man, angel man,

angel man, angel man, angel man.

Bring it on you sons of--

Here, here's

the corruption, okay.

This is evidence right here.

Clearly coming

from the mayor's office.

That's right.

Mr. Fisher, what are you doing?

My store is spotless

and up to code.

That's the County Health Board,

Mr. Fisher.

We have nothing to do

with their investigations.

- Hilarious.

- Ha-ha, yeah.

Are my ears burning?

No, no, he--

he called some people

and made up some bull crap

and now my business

is ruined, okay.

That's corruption.

I would never!

Have you even read the letter,

Mr. Fisher?

Or did you just follow

your emotions over here?

I heard their decision.

You cannot give out food

to homeless people

without the proper permit.

I've been waiting on

the permit for months.

I-- I give out free samples.

You can't beat free.

Well, you can argue that

to the county at your hearing.

Apparently, they have

evidence to the contrary.

We have nothing against angels.

We love angels.

Big fans.

Oh, shut up! This guy.

And we're all very interested

to hear what evidence you bring

to the city

council meeting tomorrow.

Very interested.

I would like

to punch you in the face.

Joaquin,

I now knows how to help you.

I did not overstand before,

yet now I--

You're a liar.

You're not even named

in the Bible.

You are a half-rate, hack angel.

I mean who knows what

else you lied about, huh?

Maybe you're an alien parasite.

Tear her limb from limb!

You don't know anything.

I mean you throw me

your scraps, huh?

Is that what

The Most High does, Yah?

I mean Michael and Gabriel

would never screw up.

Have thoughts like you.

Yeah, every human loves

Mikey and Gabe. It's crazy.

But I-- I know

I'm only third in line

and I'm only named in Tobit.

Yeah, yeah,

which isn't canonical either.

Well, no,

Tobit is Deuterocanonical.

Again, you speak truth,

Prophet, yet I see fear.

I knows you are angry.

All right,

I wanna call this off okay.

You get your third string,

nobody of an angel

outta my life.

Now it's getting

a little personal, Joaquin--

All I wanna do is go home.

You don't care about me.

You need me.

You're the demon.

- No, Joaquin.

- No, I'm done, okay.

Good riddance parasite!

That's how you do it, Damon.

That's how you do it.

Taking action for yourself.

Not being a fly in a web.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I think they're

gonna protest City Hall.

I spoke to Cass.

Pops would've known

what to say about all this.

Do you have anything to present

tomorrow at

the city council meeting?

Whatever,

you think we're crazy.

When I say fire, you say all.

- Fire.

- All!

- Fire.

- All!

When I say re,

you say call.

- Re!

- Call!

- Re!

- Call!

We just

need to talk, okay.

We just need to figure out

who we are as one

independent person, you know?

Yeah, come on. Let's--

let's just talk to each other.

You know really, let's

just keep talking, keep, okay.

Hey, hey, come on, man.

Let's talk to each other.

Hey, let's...

Step to it, private.

You are a sinner.

I got it, Lieutenant George,

okay I got it, okay?

You are acting like a

cake-eating scumbag. Ugh!

Lord, that's his problem.

Why is he like this?

Let's get back to what we

were talking about before, okay.

Just you and I.

Just you and I, man.

Man and self, okay.

It's, hey, hey.

Hey, come on. Come on.

Hey, you hear me, Damon?

Yes!

- Cass? Cass.

- Excuse me?

I thought you went to

your parents place in Rockford.

You have the wrong person.

I know I seem

a little crazy lately,

- Please leave me alone, sir.

- I'm your husband-- Come on!

That was a test and you failed!

It's okay, though.

Failure is part of becoming one.

It's united. You and I not,

not divided.

Oh, you stupid,

stupid town. Ugh!

Oh man, we're together.

We're fantastic.

There's no higher power

or lower power.

Whatever it is,

this alien entity calls herself,

an archangel is telling you.

We're good.

We're so good.

God is not good? We are good.

We are good.

She has made us so divided.

Who is she, huh?

Raphael, this angel of healing.

What has she healed?

Are you healed? Huh?

No. You're not respected.

You're poisoned. It's a joke.

She is a joke.

God doesn't love you.

God k*lled your dad!

He k*lled your child.

What kinda God

would do that, huh?

He is a cancer. God is cancer.

God k*lled your real mother.

James lives and she didn't.

God is not good. We are good.

Brother. Uh...

You're up.

Good things. Good things.

How are you feeling?

Tired.

I started you out

on an antidepressant

plus an anti-psychotic.

You are lucky. Very lucky.

You're blessed.

We're praying for you, brother.

Have you spoken to Cass?

You need to call her.

Yeah.

We've got some good news.

Not now.

Ma, he could

clearly use some good news.

- Please stop, James.

- What?

We're going to make

the city council meeting today.

I found the evidence.

This is not a courtroom, Mayor.

Everybody calm down now.

All right,

no protestors, no rioting.

This is a city council meeting.

Good, tonight's revised schedule

concerns

allegations of corruption.

Anyone with

knowledge of this misconduct,

anyone with actual evidence,

please come forward now.

Within the documents

presented heretofore after

to this city council,

there are, you will find...

evidence

unbeknownst to us citizens.

I have found two memos.

Yes. Yes.

Two memos concerning the budget

and the systemic-- systematic

funneling of resources

towards new, highly speculative,

highly suspect,

new development deals

away from social programs.

The council has been

open about new developments

and where resources are going.

People are concerned

about the prices of their homes,

Mr. Fisher.

There's no unbeknownst here.

What you're accusing the mayor

and this council of

is exactly

what we were elected to do.

Oh, come on. No.

Well...

Idiot.

If you don't have

actual evidence

to present here today...

Hey-- Admit you were wrong.

Say, "I'm on meds now."

"Everything is fine." And go!

God afternoon, prophet,

I'd like to put in a motion

to move this meeting

along past this nonsense.

Anybody second me?

- Second.

- Second.

I am in control here!

Tell her I'm in control.

Tell her! Tell her, tell her!

My sincerest apologies, prophet.

Your demon is quite mad,

but all is good now, yah?

Wait, wait, wait.

I need to say first--

Um, I'm Damon Fisher.

I don't know if you

heard me on the radio--

Okay, I'm done with this.

You have forced my hand,

Mr. Fisher--

Yes, you may speak, Mayor Owens.

Yes, thank you,

Council President Capenelli.

I have it on very good authority

that Damon Fisher has been

diagnosed mentally ill and--

That's a lie.

That is a lie.

You, just yesterday--

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Why is it such an insane notion

to believe in angels?

Why? I mean you seem

to believe in demons.

You guys are

walking all over each other

like demons right now.

Why not angels?

I believe in angels, Mayor.

My daughter's an angel.

And right now

she's probably in heaven

dancing with somebody you love.

You know we all

have angels, people.

Even if we can't see them.

I believe you, Damon.

Woo!

I can use this voice

in my next

American incarnation, yah?

Oh, it's so strong.

Thank you, Mr. Kenny Randy.

However, I was not speaking

of his appearance on your show.

Correct me if I'm wrong,

Mr. Fisher,

but were you not

almost involuntarily

hospitalized last night.

You would be in

a 72-hour psych-hold

if it wasn't for

your mother's interference--

That is not exactly true.

You also harassed

a woman downtown last night.

I have witnesses.

You have

knowledge of The Most High.

You know

The Most High reigns above.

- Now, have faith.

- Oh and, of course,

as we all know already

he thinks he talks to angels,

literally.

I rest my case.

This is not a courtroom,

Mayor Owens!

This is a city council meeting

and I would like to

get back to said meeting.

Put this all behind us.

Surrender.

One angel.

Only one angel.

The Archangel Raphael.

Third in line to the throne

of The Most High.

An archangel.

Oh, the Archangel Gabriel

has prophesized unto thee?

Praise be,

I'm talking to angels.

Okay, just come on.

Sit down, kiddo.

Come on.

And so this angel...

If she is real--

Not my pronouns.

She told you

to lie on the radio?

Because there's no embezzlement.

If I were you,

I would quit while I'm behind

and we'll just write this off,

because you're dealing

with mental health,

which I'm an advocate for.

I'm an advocate, record that.

I'd like it taken

down in the record

that I'm also

in favor of mental health.

Noted.

Brother, hey,

this is my fault. I'm sorry.

We're gonna find

the evidence though.

Okay but, but for

right now maybe we should just,

just let them get back

to their meeting or whatever.

This is it, prophet.

Sorry, man, it's my bad.

We're here.

The moment, the decisive act

every true character must make

and it is not going to be easy.

I have nothing left.

You, you have the Holy Spirit.

Now take one

step backward, mm-hmm.

Chief Baez, please.

You're the demon!

You must go crazy for God.

God is a superstition!

Surrender to the will

- of The Most High.

- Get out of here.

Shut up!

Hey, brother, brother.

Hey, Damon.

Hey, Damon.

I got this.

It's all right, Chief.

Do not listen to this, Damon!

This is you and you alone.

I can't make you do a thing.

You must choose.

I don't know how to surrender.

Faith.

- That's okay, brother.

- We got you, Damon.

Let's, let's just

go out in the hallway, brother.

I would love to

surrender with you.

Stop acting crazy, you idiot!

You must have faith.

Stop corrupting his body

with your parasite.

As I have faith in you.

You're a good hearted soul

trying to do what is right.

Brother, hey, hey. It's okay.

- Okay, buddy.

- No, no, I surrender.

- I surrender. I surrender!

- Brother.

- Stop. James--

- I got you outside, brother.

Let's just go outside.

You don't-- don't hurt him.

- You don't have to hurt him!

- I surrender!

Get out of here!

Here it is, Joaquin,

my show of faith in you.

- Father, I surrender.

- I will destroy you!

I loves you.

Glory be to God, Yah.

I surrender!

It appears the entire block

is powerless right now.

Damon, honey,

I found something,

Babe, I hear,

I hear with my ear.

I got evidence.

Chief Baez,

can you please take care of--

I am Cassandra Fisher

and I have evidence.

It's not exactly what my

husband thought, but I found it.

We have moved on from this.

Please take

the Fishers out, Chief.

No, hold on.

I wanna know,

Council President Capenelli,

what exactly do you have,

Mrs. Fisher?

Oh.

What do I have?

Honey, I prayed and I prayed

and God gave me

an idea and it worked.

He told me to speak

to James's hacker friend,

asked him to dig a little deeper

and this time

he found something.

I've just sent

everyone I know a document.

Whatever this email is,

this email is a lie.

I haven't stolen

a dime from this city.

Those documents are stolen.

She just said that.

It-- it's inadmissible,

inadmissible,

inadmissible in court!

Don't, don't worry,

Mayor Owens, you're clean.

Mrs. Capenelli,

on the other hand...

Excuse me.

Your council president

has been taking bribes

every way you

could take a bribe.

Gifts, cash, cryptocurrency.

This is preposterous!

Real estate companies,

industry, campaign contributors.

She shut down social programs

and signed new development deals

making bank.

I haven't taken a dime.

Those documents are stolen.

Mayor Owens said.

One of the illegal gifts

she accepted

is that necklace

she can't stop touching

which is worth 10 grand.

All there in the documents.

All lies. All lies, and stolen,

and inadmissible.

I would like to-- to-- to--

we've already established

that we're moving on

with this meeting-- Order.

I-- I order.

This isn't a courtroom,

President Capenelli.

This is my meeting.

It is our meeting.

Mayor Owens,

Chief Baez, Councilman Waters,

please open an investigation.

I know we can't

solve this today.

I'm not the bad guy here.

Shut up, Kevin.

And, honey, you're welcome.

I love you and we're

going to make this work.

Babe! Babe!

Come on, brother.

You are the greatest.

You are the greatest

in the whole world!

Motion to end--

Motion to end this charade

going on here

and-- and get back to actual

pressing business next week.

Do I have a second?

Fine. Whatever.

I-- I can't even.

What's the next

part of the agenda?

Justice.

Justice, justice,

justice, justice.

Woo, oh, man.

Hey, I bet we go viral.

You talked to

an actual archangel.

I mean, you know, she

was third string or whatever,

but I mean you

were on Kenny Randy.

Hey, local news

and then we go viral.

Oh, oh, you should be a--

a-- a spiritual leader.

No-- no, teacher

then spiritual leader.

Hey, are we good?

We're good. We're good, man.

You and I... we're good.

We're--

Ooh.

Faith walk.

Babe?

- You're pregnant.

- They're ready to--

What? What

are what are you talking about?

Let's go home.

Not going

back to being alone

- Babe?

- Is everything all right?

It's great, Ma.

Save those tears

for another day

Baby I'm not walking away

Brother, what about the news?

I'll give you a ride later.

Nah, uh-uh, I am walking!

So, I was walking

down the wrong road

Believing every

silly thing I was told

Well, give up my life to join

the stars in the sky, yeah

Meeting him in

every all the guys I meet

Now I see I need you,

you and me

And I rose to your love

Like a blackbird to his doe

Two, three, four

To his doe, to his doe

To his doe, to his doe

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

Oh yes I remember that night

Like it was the beginning

of the rest of my life

The smell of your hair,

the look in your eyes

Well, me and you, girl,

we're gonna conquer the world

Conquer the world

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

when in Rome

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

when in Rome

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

when in Rome

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

when in Rome

Na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh, when in Rome

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,

whoa-oh-oh

I've changed my ways

and you've shown me your home

Not going

back to being alone

Save those tears

for another day

Baby I'm not walking away

God you are so good

God you are so good

After all I've done

still all you do for me

God you are so good

Long before time began

You knew my sin

would end up on your hands

But you still gave me life

And you still

paid the price of it all

That's why

I'm longing to sing

My Savior God

you are so good

God you are so good

After all I've done

still all you do for me

God you are so good

Lord I've let you down

You paved a way but

I turned right around

But in spite of it all

you still catch me when I fall

That's why

I'm desperate to sing

My Savior God

you are so good

God you are so good

After all I've done

still all you do for me

God you are,

you're the light in the dark

When I can't find my way

You're the voice in my heart

when I'm longing to stray

When the world falls apart

you will always stay the same

That's why it's easy to sing

My Savior God

you are so good

God you are so good

After all I've done

still all you do for me

God you are so good

God you are so good
