Jack? Hello?

Hi.

Lanie Kerrigan.

Listen, l--

I don't really believe

all this stuff,

but I'm up for

this really big job,

a job I've been dreaming

of my whole life,

and I was just wondering,

you know,

what do you--

what do you see?

Am I going to get it?

No.

All right, Lanie,

we got speed.

Tonight at 8:
00,

the Seahawks and Broncos.

Who's going to win?

One man knows.

Let's see if he's telling.

Prophet Jack,

noted street savant,

and a little local flavor

in a town that could

use a little more.

Jack, what's with the crate?

I come from

a long line of prophets.

Anchorites.

My pedestal elevates me closer

to the voice of God,

allowing me to heal

the huddled masses

with my visions.

Why is it always

the huddled masses?

Do we huddle?

Well, I'll tell you who does.

The Seattle Seahawks.

Nice segue.

Jack, tonight the Hawks

are on a special

Thursday-night edition

of football,

and they're playing

the 3-0 Broncos.

Tell us,Jack,

is it finally Denver's year,

or are the Hawks

going to open up

a big old can

of butt whupping?

The Seahawks will win, 19-13.

Yeah? Well, don't be

joking now,Jack.

You'll break our little hearts.

Prophets don't joke.

OK. Any other hot tips?

Tomorrow morning,

it's going to hail.

Well, the local

meteorologist said

we'll have more

blue skies tomorrow.

You-- You sure you don't want

to tweak that frequency

a little,Jack?

How old are you now?

Maybe you're not, you know,

hearing the old voice

of God so good anymore, hmm?

I hear it.

I hear it loud and clear.

OK, well,

you heard him, folks.

The Seahawks are going to win,

and tomorrow,

it's going to hail.

And next Thursday,

you're going to die.

I'm sorry.

I didn't ask for the power.

If I find out

you were up to this,

I will never speak

to you as long as I live.

Yeah, and that would be what?

About a week or so?

Tonight, Seahawks

over the Broncos by 6.

Take the points.

He said the Seahawks

were going to win, 19-13,

that tomorrow,

it's going to hail,

and next Thursday,

I'm going to die.

The Seahawks are going to win?

Andrea, focus.

- OK? Please.

Sweetie, the guy was crazy.

Don't worry about it.

I'm sure Pete put him

up to the whole thing.

Miss Kerrigan, Miss Fox.

Hi. We're just,

uh, here for drinks.

Good to see you both again.

Thank you.

Enjoy your evening.

- Hi.

- Hi.

So what's the score?

Seahawks are up, 19-13.

19?

What is that?

What is that?

Is that 2 touchdowns,

a field goal, and a safety?

3 touchdowns,

2 missed extra points.

Huh.

Huge one here. Third and 13.

Broncos just haven't been able

to step up and make

that crucial play.

Blitz coming.

Touchdown!
