This traffic is crazy.
We could be at the blues festival
in Rockland by now.
At least
it's at a five-star resort.
You sure Reverend Purdy
doesn't mind me taggin' along?
Hey, we're friends.
Compadres.
Wherever I go, you go.
You didn't tell him I was coming,
did you?
Not a word.
Not that the matter
we'll be sitting in the traffic all weekend.
Join with me in pondering the
eternal mysteries of our faith
Wait, wait, wait leave it there.
make a difference.
How can one individual who lives only a few decades
Is that Purdy preaching?
Satellite radio must have picked
up the new Faith Heritage Channel.
A new Faith Heritage Channel?
Why
does that sound so scary?
Finally
gonna change our world.
To the better.
Wow.
I almost smell the money.
Smith.
You've got to listen to me.
You're the only one who can help.
John, what's wrong?
Fasten your seat belt,
I think
hell's about to freeze over.
We are getting close.
So where are we going anyway?
Just out past the reef.
There's a
great picnic spot on the outer island.
As long as we get back in time
for the party.
Reverend Purdy's shakedown.
- Oh
- You're okay?
I just
I guess I'm not quite a sailor.
I better get another Dramamine.
Have I told you the damn how much I love
you?
But today did I told you?
Because I do.
John this has got to be some kind of joke.
How could you explain a vision of
Greg Stillson asking you for help?
I can't, but I saw it happen.
Last time you two hooked up, he
accused you of ***.
So what's your point?
I think you should stay away from
the guy.
He's nothing but trouble.
Good day.
Are you gentlemen here
for the golf tournament?
I look like Tiger Woods?
Actually we're here for the Faith Heritage
fundraiser.
If you'll just sign the register.
Stillson's here.
With a woman.
Let me guess.
Married? Underage?
No this one's different
Johnny,
I'm so glad you could make it
Reverend Purdy
Bruce, this is a
surprise.
Are you a boating enthusiast?
No I'm not.
We were actually supposed to go
to a blues festival.
Well, the foundation deeply
appreciates your musical sacrifice.
Speaking of the foundation,
Gene, congratulations on the new Faith
Heritage Network.
God continues to bestow his
blessings.
Thanks to modern
technology
I'm now able to share the Word
with millions around the globe.
That must have cost some serious money.
Like so many things in life,
it's about
whom you know.
Does that include Stillson?
The Congressman has been
very supportive.
Johnny I understand
your feelings about Greg,
but I assure you
since the tragic death of his father, he's a changed man.
Changed?
More focused and settled.
The rumor mill has him about to
secure the hand of his beloved.
Stillson's
getting married?
Yes.
I've actually had the pleasure of
meeting the young lady.
Miranda Ellis.
As in Senator Harlan Ellis?
The same.
His only child.
The Ellises are
one of Maine's oldest families.
And a quantum leap up the social
ladder for somebody like Stillson.
Gentlemen perhaps we'll have time to
talk later.
Listen Johnny, I know that Purdy's got the body
temperature of a shark,
but did
he seem a bit nervous to you?
Now that you mention it
Thank you sir.
Come on, tell me? Who took you
to the prom?
No
I bet it was a Kennedy would it?
Or a Rockefeller probably
I actually didn't go to the prom.
My father
wouldn't allow it.
I had a daddy like that.
Practically
suffocated underneath him.
I know you're still greaving him.
You know what?
When we are together,
your happiness is all the love that matters tp me.
That's it.
I think Stillson really is in love.
Even a blind squirrel finds a
nut sometimes.
If he comes me for help, I'll
feel better if I know why.
I should take a look around.
The Ellis boat is called the
Seamore 9.
It's docked in slip
number F8.
I bet these boats cost more than
my apartment.
Here is the F8.
You think
Stillson and Miranda
went on a little day cruise?
Miranda?
Miranda?
Miranda!
She went overboard.
Miranda?
Call Walt.
Have him contact the
Coast Guard.
It's an
emergency.
You doing okay?
It's the movement.
Ho honey
Maybe you should go inside and lie down.
You know
of all the incredibly beautiful,
intelligent women out there,
I had to fall for one who sails.
I think i'm gonna go lie down.
Please go.
I hope you know what the hell you're doing,
John.
It wasn't easy to get these guys doing an
all out search on the word of a psychic.
I know what I saw.
Miranda was
gone
and Stillson was calling her
name.
He was freaking out.
I never liked the ocean.
Too many things down
there that can eat ya.
Sheriff,
we just got a radio report
from the far side of the island.
They found the Seamore.
According to the initial report,
Congressman Stillson was the only
one found onboard.
He's being
transported back as we speak.
What about the girl?
She's still missing.
The sail boat
was found here.
The current is
moving Easterly.
If she's alive,
we'll find her
somewhere in this area.
How long can a person last out
there in the water?
Depends on the person.
I have a brief statement.
I'd like to thank everyone
involved in the rescue operation.
I emphasize 'rescue'.
Miranda
is a strong willed young woman.
If anyone can come
through this, she can.
Sir, how long have your daughter and
Congressman Stillson known each other?
No comment.
Is there anything to the rumors they were
about to announce their plans to marry?
That's all I have to say.
Any further
questions can be directed to Sheriff Bannerman.
Sheriff Bannerman, has there been
any sign of the missing girl?
Not yet.
But I can assure you that Captain Nelson and
the Coast Guard are doing everything they can to find her.
You saw this coming, didn't you?
I saw it.
But I couldn't stop
it.
How is Congressman Stillson?
He has been taken to a local hospital for observation.
But I'm not gonna comment on his condition.
I've canceled the fundraiser.
Now is the time for prayer.
Is there evidence that suggestes this
might be something other than an accident?
Not at this time.
I think this must be pretty serious if Purdy's willing to
close down the cash register.
Yeah he seems a little jumpy.
You know the evening headlines news.
After an extensive search by the coast guards, Miranda Ellis is still missing.
The coast guards efforts will resume at first light.
Alright, keep your socks on.
Bruce I told you twenty minutes
Smith.
You've got to listen to me.
You're the only one who can help me.
Did you hear what I said?
Yeah I heard you.
I just don't believe
you.
Look, it's probably not best idea for either
one of us if I'm seen standing outside your room.
I need to know if she's alive.
What's that?
It's Miranda's scarf.
She's my
I know who she is.
I'd like you to touch it.
You know, do what you do.
Maybe you tell me
what happened.
I can't help you.
Look, I know what you're thinking.
Am I responsible for her disappearance?
The answer is no.
I swear to you.
Well, if you swear it gotta be
true right?
You should go.
Listen, I know there's bad blood
between you and i
Bad blood?! Is that what you
call what happened to Rachel?
And what about Rebecca?! What
about Alex Connors?
What about all the pain and misery you've
rained down on everybody around you!
What about that!?
You and i both both know i had nothing
to do with that.
I love Miranda.
So what happened out there on the
water?
I'm not sure.
You've got to do better than that.
We were sailing.
I felt sick, so
I went down below.
When I came back up,
she was gone.
I looked everywhere,
I could not
find her.
That doesn't make any sense.
In fact,
none of this makes any sense.
I know you.
You can't walk away
from this.
There's no way you can't let an
innocent girl sit out there and die alone.
You can't do it.
Why should I believe any of this?
Because I'm here.
Because I swallowed
every ounce of pride and ego
I came here and I knocked
on your *** door.
You saw her, didn't you?
She was in the water, I don't know where.
Maybe I can help you find
out.
Thank you.
Let's get something straight.
I'm not doing this for you.
I'm
doing it in spite of you.
I'm doing it because if I didn't, it would
make us the same.
And we are not the same.
We are never gonna
be the same.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Just meet me at
the marina in ten minutes.
Yeah.
Stillson?
I find out you're involved in
this and you will go down.
Ten minutes.
So you saw Armageddon revert itself? In what way?
I think deciding to help him
must've changed the future.
Somehow it stopped Armageddon.
There it is.
Just walk away and
everything's good.
But you can't just walk away?
Stillson's the Devil,
we all know that.
But something
about this girl is different.
I don't think she's
really seen who he really is.
Alright, so what do we do?
Not we,
me.
If something goes wrong, I'm going to
need you around to tell the real story.
Johnny Smith and Greg Stillson
working together.
Never thought
I'd see the day.
That makes two of us.
I figured the boat would be sealed
off as a potential crime scene.
There was no crime, haven't you
been listening?
Now let's do
this before anybody sees us.
Who's reputation you trying to
protect? Yours or mine?
Remember what you promised me, right?
No matter what happens, I'll never
tell.
So you're afraid of the water,
so what, sweetie.
I only do this for you.
you know that right?
I do.
How long have you been afraid of
the water?
You really are creepy, you know.
How many drinks did you have?
You tell me.
This isn't going to work, you gotta be
honest with me.
Which I'm sure goes
against your true nature.
I came to you, remember?
I remember.
I remember everything.
Now you tell me what really
happened out there or I'm gonna take a walk!
Hey hey hey.
Take a good look at me right now!
This is how i look like!
You fought
You got rough, didn't you?
No.
And I suppose you only had one
drink.
I felt sick so I went below deck
to lie down.
How long were you down there?
I don't know, twenty, thirty
minutes.
Thirty minutes?
This boat could have
drifted 10 miles in thirty minutes.
You didn't tell the Coast Guard?
What's wrong with you?
I didn't do anything wrong.
So i want you to save that holier than
thou crap for someone who gives a damn.
She gave you keys to her place?
Of course.
And you might find some of my shorts
in her underwear drawer, if you look carefully.
Miranda seems to be a lot closer to
animals than people.
Her mother died when she was a
little girl.
She didn't have any
brothers or sisters so.
Must be a lot of pressure being
the only child of a powerful man.
Anything off the computer?
No nothing.
Yes I said I want to make a bus reservation.
Cross country,
one-way to Seattle,
Washington
Monday, the
twenty-third at 5:30 PM.
I can't do this.
What are you talkin' about?
It doesn't work when
I'm tired.
Well, that's just too ***
bad.
What if she's out there
somewhere?
I can't force it really.
We'll start again in the morning.
You think she faked this whole
thing?
She was a champion long distance
swimmer.
I saw her studying
weather and current patterns
She bought a bus ticket.
One way,
cross country, leaving tomorrow night.
Why go to all the trouble of making everyone
think you're dead? Just break up with the guy.
Maybe she's afraid of what might
happen if she tried.
I'm not sure if this is such a
good idea.
Why? Because he'll think you're
crazy running around with a psychic?
I just don't know how I'm going to
work it into the conversation.
You're a politician,
make something
up.
Forgive my lack of social graces.
I've been up most of the night.
I'm sorry we have to meet under
such circumstances sir.
Lawrence, if you'll just be
reasonable,
I'm sure I can arrange to have the
staff paid by the end of the month.
It's been nearly a month, Senator.
I got a boy in college.
I just
can't work for no money.
You've been employed by my family
for nearly thirty years.
I'm sorry, sir.
I truly am.
I realize this is a little outside
the box, Senator,
but Mister Smith
has a very impressive resume.
I'd consult a voodoo doctor, if I
thought it'd bring my baby girl home.
I just hope it's still time.
Dad, please listen to me!
I'm afraid of him.
Nonsense.
You don't know the things he's capable of.
I
want your blessing to break off this relationship.
Ever since you were a little girl,
I've had but one thought in mind
your happiness.
It wasn't easy for me after your
mother died.
But I always came back to that one
thought what would be best for Miranda?
And now it appears we've come full circle
and it's your turn to decide what's best.
- Daddy, I'm trying to tell you
- Tell me what?
Greg's not who you think he is.
He's done some things
Even great men have weaknesses.
Greg Stillson is one of this country's
brightest new political stars.
And a union between the two of
you could help take him to the top.
And you with him?
Things have taken a turn.
Bad
investments.
The mining restrictions.
Greg
Stillson can change all that.
He can offer us
our dignity back.
What about my dignity?
Doesn't
that count for something?
In a perfect world.
But,
we no longer live in that world.
I'm sorry, I'm just not picking anything
up.
Not puttin' on much of a show, are you.
Or maybe you're holding out on
me?
I didn't want to say anything in
front of her father.
Say what?
Miranda's dead.
What?
How can you be sure?
It's just something that I know.
I'm sorry about it.
She can't be dead!
You came to me to find answers.
It's not my promise if they're not the answers you want.
I suggest
you let the search play itself
out
and then make the appropriate
announcement.
Otherwise, you're going to
have to explain to the world
how you recruited a psychic.
I'm not sure how that might play
in the heartland.
How do you know Smith's telling
the truth?
There are ways, Senator.
I don't like it.
Stillson running around with
a loose cannon like that.
Let me worry about the Congressman.
Miranda?
I'm here to help you.
You've got the wrong person.
I know about Stillson.
Just get in!
who you are
and what's going on?!
Now let's get out of here!
Look I know you faked your own drowning.
I think I even know why.
Could we pull over?
It's better if we keep moving.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Oh.
Right
I just needed some air.
So was this your plan?
Take on a new
identity? Never come back?
It wasn't really a plan.
Just a way to
buy enough time to figure things out.
A temporary fix.
It's like put a band-aid to close openheart
surgery.
It would have worked, if you hadn't
interfered.
Apparently, you didn't notice the
two guys in the bus station.
Did you recognize them?
No.
But, I don't even know your
name, do I?
Johnny Smith.
Greg's Johnny Smith?
You've heard of me?
I know Greg doesn't like you.
He liked me enough to ask me to
look for you.
You've probably figured
out we're not exactly friends.
How well do you know him?
Yeah well i know enough to understand why you
would give up everything to get away from him.
It didn't start out this way.
You were in love with him?
I was in love with the
idea of being in love.
But in the end, it's a perfect
stranger who rides to my rescue.
Thank you.
Greg? Why are you sitting in the
dark?
Leave it off.
Are you okay?
Greg, what's the matter?
Can't a man have a drink?
Yeah but it looks more like the whole bottle.
Twelve steps right: step one,
you're
dating a drunk.
I dont wanna have this conversation
in the dark.
I said, leave it off!
You want to see me?
Take a real good look at me right now!
This is how i look like!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's ok.
You've had too much to drink.
Sit down.
I don't know why you do this to yourself?
You know, it doesn't help anything.
No one knows me like you do.
No
one
but my father.
I'm sorry, baby.
Must have been so hard for you losing him.
That's just it.
I didn't lose
him
I killed him.
"The devil that deceived them
was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone
and shall be tormented
day and night for ever and ever.
"
this is just you and me baby
forever.
So Stillson killed his father?
How do you know that?
That must be why they're after you.
They must
realize what you know about James Stillson's death.
- Who are they?
- Stillson's people.
So all we have to do is actually prove
that he somehow committed the ***.
First we
have to switch cars
and find
someplace you can hide.
What time is it?
It's almost seven.
It's instant.
So's the heartburn,
I'm afraid.
As long as it's hot.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Why Greg Stillson?
Yes, it just doesn't seem to fit the two of you.
My father was
very protective of me.
He always made sure that I went to the
best schools and associated with the best people.
He picked your boyfriends, too.
Greg was different from the guys that I've known.
There was a sense of danger about him.
I
thought it was just part of his personality,
I never imagined it would
turn out to be so real.
You father seems to be very taken with
him.
My father is attracted to power and he believes
Greg is on a fast track to the White House.
You never told me how you and
Greg know each other?
It's a long story.
I can tell that you've suffered.
And that you've lost someone.
Does
it have anything to do with him?
Let's just say I'm determined to make sure that
Stillson never sets foot
in the White House.
Whatever
it takes.
This proof you were talking about.
Do you have any idea where we might find it?
John, are you out of your mind?
You remember the last time you and
Stillson ended up in Washington?
This is different Walt.
Did you get
the coroner's report?
James Stillson's death is listed as an
accident.
He was drinking and he fell.
And there was trauma to his neck and his throat
which was consistent with witness statements.
I'm almost sure that's not the
way it happened.
You're still going to need another
source to verify Stillson's statement.
Ok, I'm working on it.
I'll call you
later.
Come on.
This is where Greg stays when
he comes to Washington.
It's also where James Stillson
died.
How do we know what room he was
in?
Trust me, I know.
How you doing Sir? We'd like a room please.
That's a one night stay.
For
Mister and Mrs?
Smith.
Of course.
We'd like room 1214, if it's
available?
I'll check.
You're in luck.
That room has
recently been remodeled.
Remodeled?
After the fire.
There was a fire?
Six months ago.
Freak thing.
Just the one room was damaged.
They're calling
it another Chappaquiddick.
Yes, I know.
You have something to do with this?
Oh, I assure you, if I'd wanted Miranda Ellis dead,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.
But she isn't dead.
She's very
much alive.
The thing
you need to ask yourself is,
why would the love of your life go to such
measures to convince the world she was dead?
What are you talking about?
Miranda set this whole thing up.
#######
No, she.
.
Miranda would never
I don't understand.
What
I think you do.
You told her.
Ok if you're talking about my dad.
I was drunk.
I didn't even I didn't mean
What does it have to do with anything?
And now the one person in the
world that knows the truth
is with Johnny Smith in Washington
checking into the Hotel Gerard.
I find that interestingly ironic,
don't you?
Smith and Miranda?
Son of a ***!
This is where Greg killed his
father?
Yes.
But it's all been changed
It's been erased.
What's wrong?
There's no Bible.
There's always
a Bible.
Consumed in flames.
How's that
for biblical?
It's like they
knew I'd end up here.
Like
somebody's pulling my strings.
I hope we find them before they
find us.
It's been six hours, and there's no sign of Miranda.
Stillson played me.
He didn't want to find
Miranda because he loved her.
He wanted her so she could never tell
the truth about him murdering his father.
He must have known when he came to you that
there was a chance you'd see what really happened.
He also knew I'd need proof.
She trusted me and I led her right to
them.
What do you think they'll do to
her?
The same that she did to herself,
only this time it's for real.
Excuse me, what's going on?
Surprise press conference.
Stillson's going to make
some kind'a big announcement.
Son of a ***!
We gonna all just settle down,
I'm sure you'll get all the information
you need to make your deadlines.
Congressman.
People've asked me
how I've been able to keep my
composure the last 48 hours.
And the answer is simple
Faith.
Faith in myself,
Faith in my team
and most importantly,
Faith in my God.
Sometimes those prayers
are not answered the way we would like them to be.
Sometimes we're left with nothing more than
questions
and regret.
I stand before you today
to tell you that today is not one of those days.
I'm here to tell you that our prayers have been answered.
We ready?
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to introduce to you
the real hero of that story.
And the true
love of my life,
Miss Miranda Ellis.
It's good to be alive.
I'm not gonna get into the details.
I'd just like to say thank you to
everyone involved.
But mostly to the one person
who made this possible
He is my own personal hero
Greg Stillson.
Through this experience, I have
come to know who you really are
When everyone told you it was
hopeless,
you wouldn't give up.
And I felt that love every
second that I was lost.
Miranda, where exactly were
you?
- I was, uh
- She was, uh
picked up by a private
fishing boat.
An ordinary citizen who happens
to be there when she needed help.
Do you have his name? Can we interview him?
I believe he prefers to remain
anonymous.
Miranda, what exactly do you
remember about the accident?
It's still a little sketchy.
There was a strong gust of wind
and it knocked me overboard
That's all I really
remember.
My daughter's been through quite
an ordeal.
We appreciate your
concern
and want to thank everyone
who participated in the rescue.
And Sir, if I could
beg your indulgence for one moment.
I would
I'd actually like to do what i was about to do the day we went sailing.
Miranda
will you do me the
honor of becoming my wife?
I will.
I do.
Yes.
Just you and me
forever.
I don't get it.
Maybe Stillson wasn't the one
playing you after all.
Johnny Smith, you were one of the first people to
make a report of the accident, isn't that right?
That's exactly right!
I've been meaning to thank you, Mister Smith.
I'll forever be in your debt.
We need to move on, Congressman.
Until we meet again.
It's back.
What?
Armageddon.
I saw it when I shook his hand.
Just the way it's always been.
Damn it!
You must have changed the future
again.
Agreeing to help him find Miranda changed it
the first time, then losing her changed it back.
Turning Stillson into a hero and setting him
on a straight path towards the White House.
I have
to stop this.
I don't know who you are, but I
know this.
I'm more valuable to
you alive than I am dead.
In what way?
Greg's Q rating has gone through the roof since we've been together.
His profile is stronger, more
conservative, and that means votes.
Besides, another mysterious death surrounding
him will only cause the press to ask questions
questions that would be very bad
for everyone involved.
Beauty, brains and a gambler's
heart,
a lethal combination.
What do you want?
Reconciliation.
Photo ops.
And
the cover of Lady's Home Journal.
And if I refuse?
People will die.
People you care
about.
Open it.
What's it gonna be Miranda?
Are you in, or out?
If I agree to go back, he won't
be harmed?
Not a hair on his head.
There's a helicopter waiting.
You'll be
given further instructions on your way back.
You can leave those on the table
if you don't mind.
And
safe trip home.
She did it to protect me.
I suggest you return the favor
and walk away.
Today his unspoken story continues to N4.
Congressman Stillson is being called "Hero".
Searching Rescue operations did never stopped looking for
Stay tuned for more from Washington new power
This kind of moment
This story has all the characteristics of a a modern day
Daughter found and unharmed.
It's not over.
I promise you,
it's not over.
Property of the Hotel Gerard, Washington, D.
C.
We finally meet, Mr.
Smith.
Forgive this unorthodox method of
communication, but I needed your
complete and undivided attention.
I've marked a passage for your
perusal.
From the Book of Daniel.
I think you'll find it
enlightening.
If you'd allow me
to begin
"And I have heard of thee, that
thou canst make interpretations,
and dissolve doubts:
now if thou
canst read the writing
And make known to me the
interpretation thereof,
thou shalt
be clothed with scarlet
and a have a chain of gold
about thy neck
and shalt be the third ruler
in the kingdom.
"
The choice is yours, Mister Smith.
" and shalt be the third ruler
in the kingdom.
"
The choice is yours, Mister Smith.
