- He needs your help.

Dad, I don't know what you're trying to tell me.

He cannot do this by himself.

I'm gonna get Anna, for you.

It's good to see you son.

Joseph?

I can't believe it.

You made it.

- I'm not staying, I can't be here.

- What? Where are you going?

- Hotel.

- A hotel?

Joe, I read online you were in a car accident.

You didn't even call us.

- What could you have done?

- Been there for you.

We've never been there for each other.

Not when we were kids, and you're not

gonna be there for me now.

That could change. We've changed.

The lord has a plan for you brother.

The lords plan hasn't quite worked out for me has it?

Do you resent us that much?

I don't resent you Samuel.

I resent what you represent.

What he represents,

what this whole place represents.

They do not think he'll make it past the week.

I do not think he'll make it past the night.

So whatever hatred you have for the church,

don't take it out on us.

Please.

Stay the night.

- So what happened to your church?

- Congregation dwindled.

More and more lost their faith.

We hope to find a new place as soon as the

messages from our sermon spread.

Perhaps you can lend us some of your loyal readers to the cause.

Yeah ... What cause is that?

Transcending the world's perception of religion.

Yeah, I don't know if my readers would be

buying what you're selling.

You'd be surprised what your fans would believe in.

You know why mom bought this thing

when we moved to Spain?

To remind us that angels are all around us.

Ever since Sarah and David died,

this statue's been in my nightmares.

It won't bite you.

It just reminds me of things I'd like to forget.

I have something for you.

I wish I could say I've read them all.

Seems as soon as I'm reading one, two more come out.

Do you really have as little faith as the

characters in your books?

Maybe less.

An atheist and a pastor.

We're quite the pair aren't we?

- Do you still write every day?

- Yeah, it's actually the only thing I inherited from him.

Me too.

For the past few Christmases and birthdays we've missed.

Please, I want you to have this.

- For continued success with the writing.

- You didn't have to do this.

It's been too long, brother.

It's good to see you.

Last few months we've had ongoing issues with vandals.

We installed those around the compound,

more than anything just to act as a deterrent.

- Catch any bad guys?

- We caught something.

- Anna has a very vivid imagination.

- Come, Joseph, come.

- What is this?

- Each camera takes one picture per minute,

unless the motion sensor is triggered and it rolls video.

This is from last week.

There.
