Then how come I never heard of you? Sadly, we rarely spoked. There were a couple of things we couldn't agree on. Such as? Well, that one I'm not prepared to answer. Bank said that you gonna give me all this money. Well, that not exactly right. Can I be open with you? Sure. Frankly, you are a disgrace to the family. Your gambling habbits that rely to get you killed or ... the very least maimed. You never married and you sleeping around... As if you just discovered your willy. As for your Engineering degree, your business is a disaster. What am I doing here? I'm prepared to pay off all debts. Every single one of them. Which at this moment in time... amount to exactly... 88,950 pounds. So, you see. It's not all bad. Of course, I want something in exchange. - What? I want you to move abroad, leave England.

You owe me this atleast. Sit and talk. It seems your life is not going well, is it? I think you should move to Canada. I think it's God ways of give you a second chance. Trust me, my uncle doesn't work for God. - Let me tell you a story. - No, please, Father. I'm gonna go. There was is this parish priest in a church. And the rain was so bad for a month, that the town was flooded. And people were force to leave, but the priest said: "God will save me!", so he stayed behind... Now, when the water was up to his waist, they sent the police to evacuate him, and then they sent him the fireman, and the army with a boat, and always he refused, believing the God would be the one to save him. and so he drowned. And when he come face to face with God, he complained, he said: "God, why did you abandon me?" And God said: "I sent the Police, and the firemen, and even the army with a boat but still you would not listen. " I think God sent your uncle. Go to Canada. That's me... I'm Frederick. Welcome to Nova Scotia. So, are you from Nova Scotia? Yes. And how long have you known my uncle? 43 years. Wow,I only just met him. So, there is a few things about this house you should know.

The bed is made, it abit squeaky, you'll get used to that. Fresh linen and towels is on the closet. Got any questions? Yeah. Is there any Internet? No. Where is the nearest town? Lunenburg, about four kilometers east. How I supposed to get there? Well your uncle asked me to find you a car. An old fishing buddy of mine sold me his truck.

We'll just be waiting in the sitting room. What do you all doing here? The Ad you place? The healer? - Oh, Give me a minute. - Alright. Right, whos first? We are. Great. How can I help? Well, I have arthritis and it's getting worse each day. And my husband, well his hearing is practically shut. So annoying. So, can you help us? Sorry, It seem to be abit a mistake here. But you a healer? Said in the ad. No no no... It's... It's my commercial phase. It's... It's my slogan. - I fix electrical things. - Ad says you heal. "The Healer, Alec Bailey, Arrives in Lunenburg." "I fix anyone." Wait... I did not say that. Well, it's printed right there. Frankly, we were abit surprised... that you would bring it up this way, being that it supposed to be a secret. What do you mean a secret? So my blood sugar is off the chart. Doctors say I'm gonna need insulin at this point. I'm so sick of dieting. It does nothing. Yeah, I'm like a factory kidney stone. One a month, sometimes two... I can feel one coming as of yesterday. The ad is wrong. I can't... I'm not a healer. I don't cure people. He doesnt want to help us. - What? - He doesnt want to help us! - Why not? - Because I'm not a doctor. - What? - So, you're not the chosen one? What are you talking about? Why would you lied like that then? Look, It's a mistake, okay, a misprint. If you have anything electrical, anything at all. I'll be happy to look at it. That's what I do. My truck broken down. If someone could drive me to Cecilia's, I could clear all this up. Didnt you say you fix electrical things? - Yeah - Fix your car. So unfair. I really thought my prayers had been answer. I can take you to Cecilia's, if you do something for me. Sure. My boyfriend has been procrastinating about asking to marry me. Just need a little push. So, if I say something that does not make much sense... when his around, you just follow my lead? Yeah, I can do that. When you want me to do that? Now. He's the one who brought me here. So, Philip, this is Alec. We know way back. How long it has been, Alec? - A While. - Gosh, does not feel that way. It's amazing how for a woman, first impression with a man a just so important. I was lucky, you were so sweet, Alec. So gentle, How long are you staying? - A year. - A whole year? That is so great. One day we should go swimming, at the lake, like we used to. Remember that time my mom nearly caught us butt naked? - we hide for whole hour behind a rock? - No, I don't remember that. It's fine, Alec, Philip understands. We all have a past, Right, honey? Sure. See you soon, Alec. So happy you're here. Call me anytime. - Hey. - Hey. What? Nothing. They misprinted the ad! Hey, this isnt funny. I already had four potential clients in my house: One with arthritis, one deaf, some nachos waitress... and some dude running on kidney stone... I am sorry.

Are you out of your mind? What are you doing? Alec Bailey, you're under arrest for the murder of Father Malloy. - What? - Anything that you say... will be held against you in a court of law. - What? - I didnt killed anybody. He have heart attack and I left him in the church. You are one cynical bastard. We have the whole thing on video tape, Cecilia. He killed him and now he probably buried him somewhere. He walked on his own two feet in to the church! His gotta be somewhere, Tom! We have an eye witnesses, we have video footage... of him pounding on the poor man. - Where is the body? - There is no body! He's out there, just go and find him! Father Malloy is nowhere to be found. Are you that stupid. Even his car is still at your property! Cecilia, I didnt do anything! Find Father Malloy, Cecilia! I'm innocent! Now, what do we got here? What is that? - It's shovel... - What's he doing? Listen up. He's probably gonna bury him. And you tell me at the end of it if you think that Father Malloy is still alive. I've got it on camera Let's go see Tom! - Wow. - Thanks. 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 and you are just lucky that he didnt hurt you too. What gonna happen to him? NSPD is coming down to picking him up in the morning. - This is major. - Let me talk to him. Please, Tom. Please, let me talk to him. Five minutes and don't you dare get close. Five. - Did you find him? - No. I look for him everywhere. Fred's looking too. What's gonna happen to me? They're taking you to a Halifax prison. - Did you speak to a lawyer? - 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, he freak me out. I thought... You don't believe me, do you? I do, it's just so implausible, what he would just get up... - and walked away after all... - 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, before I lockup for tonight. Yes. Father Malloy was my very good friend. They're here! Tom. Hey, Pete! - How you doin? - Good, good, you? Good, good, good. Who would've thought you have any of this 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 shit you boy. - Okay!

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. - 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...

So... when were you first diagnosed? Third of April, four years ago. You must be in shock. Not really. I mean... I was lucky, because my doctor at the time was very cool. He refused to call it cancer, He said there were too many bad connotations with the word. My diagnosis was "bad cases of marshmallow." I like that. So... You two have a thing going? - No. - No. - Please... - No, really, we don't, we just friends. That's not what Batman told me. Are you okay? No, I have terminal marshmallow. - How about I take you back? - That will be good. I may need some oxygen. Alright, I'll be seeing you both tomorrow? Thanks. I love it here. Follow me! What? You like her, don't you? She's beautiful... Yes, she is. But, it's not possible. Why, because you work for her? Can you keep a secret? Cecilia likes women. Oh bullcrap from Mars! No, she doesn't! She does. Look, I know lesbians, and Cecilia is not. Oh, so you are an expert? Are you? My sister is a lesbian and yes, I am. Oh, you have a sister? Yes, she's 25, and she's a megalesbian, Which makes me an expert. She's lying. Why? She's lying to you? Is a whole other matter. Wait wait. What do you mean? Just get in! Charlie. Charlie. Charlie.

No, he was drunk and he fell asleep. Seriously, I'm not kidding. You'll see for yourself. I hope heaven just like this. Me too. What about you, Alec? I'm not sure. That's one shity answer. Well, if there is a heaven, then... If...? What do you think happens when you die? Has anybody in your family died? All of them. My twin brother... He had what you have. What his name? Charlie. When? Two years ago. Charlie... Charlie must be so pissed off with you. - Why? - Why? For thinking that he just went poof and he stil exist! You're an idiot, Alec Bailey.

So sucks the weekend is over. I wish I had told my parents it's took a month for this to work. A month? No thanks. Now we gonna go to "Give me some loving", a classic... Stop the truck! What? Alec, stop the truck! I need to get out! - Are you okay? - Just stop the truck! Stop it! Stop it! - Alright, alright, alright. - Stop it! Stop it! Stop the truck! I love this song.

Her father is my brother. I haven't seen him this happy for... A long time. - It getting cold. Shut up, Alec. I'm gonna die, not from the weather. Wait. I don't want to say goodbye in front of my parents. I hate goodbyes, so, rule number one, no one gets emotional. Deal? - Deal. - Deal. I wrote you guys a poem. Don't worry, it's really short. It's called "Just Breathe." We all at some point, stopped breathing. What if we lived one breath at the time? We still be thinking that breathing is easy because it is a nate. - Is that a cool word or what? - Yes... Half the time we don't even notice our breath. When did breathing become the uncool kids? That all the other body part is ignore? Think about the phrase "catch your breath". You have to catch it, because you've lost control of it. Alec and Cecilia, find control of your breath, and, please, live for me like tomorrow was your last day. Cecilia, we made a deal. Thanks, Alec. I thought that this would be good for my parents, but... It been incredible for me also. Well, it's was... It was special for me too. Dear Jesus, he shown his feelings! Trust me on this, Alec. Charlie is in a better place and he just wants you to be happy. I take you back. Please! I can see my parents from here. Oh! One more thing... She's lied, She's not in to girls. And... I lied. I don't have a sister Bye! Hold on a minute, why did you lie? Your uncle said that you were a loose wire, and that you were trying to get in my pants. You're pretty sure of your self, aren't you? You asked me out, three minutes into meeting me. This is unbelievable. I'm gonna have a word with him. Well, you might want to talk him today, since he's leaving tomorrow. Wait, he still here? Yes, he's at your house, or him house. I need to talk to him, come on. Raymond! I'm down. One or two thing I had to do then I'll gone. I want my gift back. What? Its a bit late for that. Why the sudden change of heart. It doesn't matter why. I made a mistake, now I want it back. Alec, I made it very clear. I know what you said about my birthday and midnight, but... There is gonna be some other way. - I don't make the rules. - Who does? Who do I have to commit? Well, Alec, that would be the one that you dont believe in. I am just an ant on this planet. There must be some kind of clue, like a time span or something. - I'm afraid not. - There isn't, Alec. I was... I was freaking out, okay? I didn't know what I was doing... I have sheep following me! - You made your choice. - Choice? I'm Sorry, how I was suppose to suddenly just accept that I had a weird superpower? I didn't have any time to understand and reflect. And now, I know I can help, so I want it back. - Too late. - You told me I was the healer... Where is my frame? I took it down. We didn't need it anymore. You were played me, like a puppet. I should know this from the start. - That's not the way it's works. - Bullshit about how it works... or we know how its works. A little honesty and maybe... I would've made the right decision. - Wait... - Don't touch me! You could stop this. Maybe I can saved Abigail. It not up to us anymore. Better leave him be. Father Malloy! Hello! Alec? What are you doing? This place is closed at this hour. Well, open it. I need to go in there. What's going on? How do I talk to him? Who? Him, him, your boss, him. God? Yes! You just talk, he listens. Okay. Can you just do it for me? - No, I can't do that. - Look, you owe me! You're right. I do. But this... You gotta do alone. Just close the door when you're done. Thank you. This is ridiculous. Actually, do you know what? What kind of thing are you? Huh? I mean, if good like you say you are, then why let young people get sick and die? Why don't you start by answering me that? I mean, Abigail? Are you serious? Are you that perverse? She's 14 years old! Now you give me back my gift! I swear... If you let Abigail die, I curse that you never existing. Charlie. Charlie, if you're up there, punch this idiot in the face for me. I want it back! Cause maybe it's old, Josh. I know. My wife had convinced me to buy another. - Here let grab something? - No, no please. - You sure? - Yeah. Beers on me, anytime. -See you. -Later. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. I... I bought you a gift. They're "Forget-Me-Not." I figure that they can be a symbol of... for new friendship or something, now it feels really cheesy to bought that up. I'm really sorry... About how all played out. There is no need to lie all the time. Your uncle asked me to. That you said you are a lesbian... About Abigail... Please... I blamed you for Abigail and... I am sorry. I'm an idiot, alright, I was always gonna made the wrong choice. Alec, She wrote us a letter. What? It's... One of the reasons that I cut the courage to come and see today. What's it say? I don't know. I wanted to read it with you. CALL ME Where is your phone? - Yes? - Abigail... - It's Alec and Cecilia. - Hi! What took you guys so damn long! You supposed to call me I'm so sorry. We just opened your letter. So, how are you both? - Fine... - Yeah, we fine. How are you? I'm good. So I have some news, guys. Okay. Okay... turns out about a year ago I was put on Palliative Care. Bottom line, it's like a death sentence, because Chemotherapy was no longer working. Right. But... But what? When got back, I bump into the marshmello doctor I told you about. He was surprised that I look so healthy, so he want to try a few test. You won't believe this, some kind of weird remission. - What is that mean? - Wait. What is that, what "some kind of weird remission"? I know, I don't understand either. Well. A: somehow the cancers is going away. B: They gonna give me a treatment to get rid what still there. And C: I'm not gonna die. And I'll be there for Christmas. What? Guys, I'm still on the phone here! Sorry, sorry! Hey, Alec. Yes. You should tell everyone that you cured me. Take the credit. My parents are convinced that it was you. And get ready because they're sending over three baskets of fruit. Spoiler alert! Don't touch the apples. It's sucks. Alright. Listen. I gotta go. Call me Yes, and say hi to your sister for us. Cecilia, if you haven't kissed this idiot by now, should hurry up and do it. Love you guys! Bye. This is unbelievable. - Wait wait! Stop, stop! - What? I just landed on this. What are you...? I'm just gonna get some water. Go back to sleep. You scared the crap out me! What are you doing here? It's my home. I had something to do in the basement. Can I ask you a question? When your father found out that he was a healer, I he... Did he accepted the gift immediately? No. No, he didn't. He didn't want the gift. But something happened to made him change his mind. What happened? Frankly, Alec, that's now none of your business . She not gonna die, you know? Abigail, the little girl. She... She remission. Really? Well, that is good news. Bye, Alec. Bye. Oh, Alec. Ever notice anything odd about yourself? Batman? Oh my God! Cecilia!
