Last Days Page #2

Synopsis: Introspective artist Blake is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations and a mounting feeling of isolation. Dwarfed by towering trees, Blake slowly makes his way through dense woods. He scrambles down an embankment to a fresh spring and undresses for a short swim. The next morning he returns to his house, an elegant, if neglected, stone mansion. Many people are looking for Blake--his friends, his managers and record label, even a private detective--but he does not want to be found. In the haze of his final hours, Blake will spend most his time by himself. He avoids the people who are living in his house, who approach him only when they want something, be it money or help with a song. He hides from one concerned friend and turns away another. He visits politely with a stranger from the Yellow Pages sales department, and he ducks into an underground rock club. He wanders through the woods and he plays a new song, one last rock and roll blowout. Finally, alone in the gr

- Okay.

- I'll see you next Tuesday.

- All right.

- Have a good day.

All right. You--

you have a good day as well.

Okay, very good.

Take care.

I'm sorry, Blake.

Blake?

Okay.

Scott?

Scott.

- Hello?

- Hello. Hello, Lukas.

- No, it's not Luke. It's Scott.

- You f***ing a**hole,

- I need to talk to Blake.

- Look, he's the a**hole, not me.

- Get him now. I need to talk--

- No, Blake is not here.

Don't f***ing tell me he's not there.

He left rehab.

- None of us have seen him.

- This a bunch of bullshit.

Why are you making this so hard?

I just need to talk to him.

- Yeah.

- Fine, just get him.

Look, you just-- just need to chill out.

Everything's under control here.

- Wow.

- Hello, my name's Elder Friberg.

My name's also

Elder Friberg.

We're from the Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter Day Saints

- just down the road.

- Okay.

- How are you doing this morning?

- Good.

We were wondering

if we could come in

and tell you a little bit

about our church,

give you information

on our religion.

- This is a nice house.

- Thanks. You want a drink?

No, thank you.

Don't you, um--

the blood of Christ

thing?

No, we use water

instead of wine.

- Water for the blood of Christ?

- Yes.

The alcohol

in the wine is--

we believe is bad for our bodies,

so we don't...

drink anything that's bad

for our body.

Humph.

So have you guys had

anything really freaky

happen to you when you go

to these houses?

- Not really.

- Not normally.

And you're here

to convert us?

No, we're here just to give you

background information

on our religion

in hopes that you come

to one of our services.

Do you know anything

about our religion?

- No.

- No?

All right, I'll give you

some background information.

How it started is, uh--

a young boy by a--

at the age of 14,

wanted to know

which church to join,

because he noticed

there were so many.

So he knelt down

and he prayed,

and he said,

"As I prayed,

a pillar of light

descended upon me

and when that pillar

reached me,

I saw two figures

directly above me.

The figure

on the right said,

'This is my son,

Jesus Christ, hear him'."

God sent Jesus

to the earth

to be the most

pure being

to ever walk

the earth.

And he was sent

to be sacrificed

so that we didn't

have to sacrifice lambs

to be forgiven.

Now, all we have to do is ask

with a sincere heart to be forgiven.

Back then you couldn't talk to God

unless you were pure.

So by puri--

by killing something pure--

by sacrificing something

that was innocent,

you became innocent

yourself.

- Let me get a--

- Can you--

- can you talk to God now?

- Yes, when we pray.

- We've gotta go.

- You gotta go?

We have to go. We have
