your father turn someone into a zombie?

My father? I don't know if he'll talk

to you about such things...

I'm asking just so I can understand...

...you know, what Wesley

considers to be his problem.

How is it defined?

What are the symptoms of that state?

It's a sickness of the soul.

If someone's soul is sick...

...do you know which medicines to give him?

No, I don't do souls.

- What ya look for?

- My sunglasses.

I thought maybe

I left them here yesterday.

You're not gonna tell, no?

- Can you drive?

- Yeah, mon.

I am fine.

Actually, very fine.

Wait, wait, wait, back up.

What?... There's a man in that tree.

It's a ceremony,

like communing with nature.

It's like getting your head

to stop thinking so much...

...so he can see more clear.

Lord, it hot, eh?

J.B., what's wrong?

J. B! J. B!

J. B!

What the hell's wrong with you?

Oh, my God!

What the hell's wrong with you?

Oh, you gotta stop smoking that stuff.

Move over, I'm driving.

J.B., these people

need a doctor.

So if your father would like,

I could come up here.

...two or three times a week.

What ya talk 'bout? He is a doctor.

Why you think people come to see him?

- I didn't mean...

- He's healed many people.

Just wait over here

by the worship house.

- Where?

- Here.

What's wrong with this guy?

His relatives think an obeah

priest blow dust poison pon him...

...make him a zombie.

Why the shackles?

So him don't go to work

for the obeah priest. Soon come.

Oh...

OK.

- Hi.

- Rispeck.

- Thank you for taking the time...

- Two minutes. I got people waiting.

I understand.

I wanted to ask your advice.

I have a patient who thinks

someone's made him a zombie.

- Wesley?

- Yes.

There is nothing I can do to help him.

The obeah man doing it to him

is bigger than me.

Bigger than you?

Can you please put me in touch

with this bigger man?

No.

Is he trying to harm Wesley?

Look... Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

No, no, no, no!

What's wrong?

Jesus, his heart is racing.

Is he epileptic? Does he need medicine?

Medicines won't do no good.

Papa, OK? OK?

F***.

Look at ya!

- Oh, my God!

- Is it OK?

I really love...

Big mistake lending you that dress.

Now everybody will be

lookin' at you and not at me.

Look at you!

- Come on, tell the truth, you exercise.

- What?

- Well, I run, yeah.

- Really?

You can come with me sometime.

Oh, God. No, girl.

I don't have any sneakers.

Come on, I'll introduce you.

- That's Jackson.

- Hi.

- That's a big guy.

- Not so big.

This is Matthew Hope...

...the smartest, nicest

and craziest man in all of Jamaica.

This is Wesley's new doctor,

Alice Dodgson.

Nice to meet you.

Nobody looked like you when I went
