I've got your eggs,herb.
I won't eat eggs.
They're bad.
They're good for you.
You're gettingtoo skinny.
You need to keep this

It's too chilly in here.
Oh,you're too bossy,vera.

Why am I seeingmy dead parents?
Well,I hope you all hada good time.
It's been great,thanks.

But I have to say the
best part-- 19 tvs.
Yeah.
How awesome is that?
Well,I'm sorryI had to work so much.

I do hope you all hada good
time though.
I really do.
Oh,it's been great.
Thanks.
But I am readyto get home.
I feel like I canhear
hope crying from here.
Well,let me take careof
this,and I'll get youon your way.
Oh,don't worry about it,mr.
Vice

This one's on the house.
Well,I reallyappreciate that,but
I do like to pay my own way.
You have a reallybeautiful family.
Well,thank you.
Thank you very much.
I am a lucky man.
sheriff turner wants meto look
into how walt got that cabin.
She can't get overbeing used by
whoever the helldoug o'connell was.
No trace of that guy?
Nope,but you knowthose people who left
the money to waltso he could buy it?
- The meeks family?
- Yeah.
I don't know,there'ssomething
strange about them.
But anyways,we're gonna keep digging.
Let me know if youfind anything
out,okay?It's important.
Just give me a call.
Yeah,okay.
Jake,one more thing.
Did walt leaveanything
here,like-- like a digital camera.
Do you have any issuedby the office?
Yeah,we keep 'emright under here.
- Did walt use onein particular?
- Yeah.
Yeah,well,I knowthis one's walt'S.
It's got a ding in it.
He tossed itto his old
deputy roscoe,who dropped it.
You need to takesome pictures?
Sheriff bannerman,do you know
how longI've held onto this?
If this is true,john
smith's infor a big surprise.
If you don't believe
me,ask reverend purdy.
We should meet again.
After I talk to purdy.
Should we meet here,or
the garden of grace?
Not the garden.
There are snakes there.
It's too dangerous.
I'll call you.
They're watching me,and
if they see us together
wait,hang ona second.
You know what to dowith
this,right?make sure he gets it.
Jake,thanks.
I gotta run.
Yeah,no problem.
Hey there.
Ah,I wantedto see hope.
Oh,she crashed outafter her bath.
She'll be upin a while.
Are you going backto work?
Well,I have sometask
force reports to look over.
I could do thatat the office,or,uh,
do that out thereon the porch
while eating someof those cookies.
That's a tough
decision,I gotta tell you.
That is bad for
you--raw egg?
Look at that,I'm still here.
I never let J.
J.
Eat it.
- No?
- No.
Although I always
didas a kid.
Didn't you?
Not a lot of cookieswhen
I was growing up.
So,those ready?
They'reright out of the oven.
Well
- Oh,okay
- I told you.
I just gave
myselfthird-degree burns there.
Well,you were warned.
You smell like vanilla.
You taste likecookie dough.
Um,I gotta checkthe oven.
And I should call J.
J.
Before
all the cookiesare gone.
Yeah,that's a good idea.
Well
those are nice.
They forsythia?
Hydrangea.
I don't know muchabout
plants or flowers.
I'm kind of a black thumb.
I just help out herefrom time to time.
When you're not
talkingto walt bannerman?
I'm john smith.
Walt was asking youabout my father?
I know who you are.
You should leave.
Why?Because the garden is dangerous?
That's what you told walt.
I wanna
know what you saidabout herb smith.
I'm jacinta.
I was a nurse at
brockmorea long time ago.
What else can you tell me?
I can't tell youanything else.
- Jacinta.
- No.
I know what happenswhen you do that.
Walt died keeping your secret.
Please tell me about my father.
I took care of him.
He
he scared some people.
Because he saw things?
Like he could predicta thunderstorm,
or he knew tomorrow thelunchroom was going to
prepare that meatloaf that tastedlike dog food.
Or-- orwho would
winthe next election.
Did people ask aboutwhat he was seeing?
I told the director of the
institution about herb's predictions.
And after that,people began
to show up to observe him.
Who?
I can't tell you that.
We could meet later on.
All of us.
All of us?
At st.
Stephens.
The monastery.
Jacinta,I have to know.
What
were people asking?
Hang in there,jacinta.
Hang in there.
Yeah,listen,send someone rightaway to
the garden of grace.
A woman has been shot.
Right away,please.
Hello,john.
Where the hell have you been?
Lots of places.
How did you find me?
Jacinta.
Who?
She's dead.
I had a vision about her and walt.
And she gave him
somethingin an envelope.
And walt was comingto
talk to you about it.
The day he died.
Gene!
I'm sorry we haveto do it this way.
What were you doing withmy
father's death certificate?
Jacinta's dead?
How do you know her?
She was your father'S
nurseat brockmore.
Years ago,when your father's
health took a turn for the worse,
the doctors told me that
he would not recover.
So the death certificatewas a fake?
I did it to protectyour mother.
I didn't think it was right
for vera to see him suffer.
It was better if verabelieved
that herb had passed on.
What right did you haveto do that?
He was a changed man,john.
He was desperate,lost.
The doctor suggestedfor
his comfort we move him.
Move him where?
To another facility.
Eastern state.
I never sawyour father again.
Is he alive?
No.
There was a firethat easter.
Almost five years ago.
Five years ago?
Five years ago,I was out of my coma.
My father was alive,and
I didn't know it?
John,he would look at
youand not see his son.
Yeah,but I would have seenmy father!
And all this time,you
didn't say anything!
To protect youand your mother.
You were in lovewith my mother.
That's why you sentmy father away.
As soon as he realizedhe was
getting sick,he made me promise.
He begged me to keep youaway from him.
I'll never forgive youfor this.
Wait,where do you think
I'vebeen the past six months?
Trying to understand
everything,just the way you are.
Walt,janus,maybe evenjacinta
dead because of me.
How can you,the visionary,
not see I need to know
what waltfound out too.
John.
Please.
Give me a chanceto make things right.
So do you have,like,oneof those
secret doors you walk through,
so you can visitthe
president whenever you want?
Is that part of your strategy
tomake me lose my concentration?
'Cause it's working,I'm telling ya.
Alright.
- It worked.
- Okay.
One,two,three.
Yes!
Well,I'll tell you,the tide
is definitely turning,isn't it?
I thought you had an ace.
No,bud.
Looks like you've got 'em all.
I can see you arethe champion.
I'm coming for you though.
Rematch
next timeI'm in town?
Sure.
Count on it.
- Prepare to lose again.
- I'm coming for ya.
See ya.
Hey,I got an idea.
Why don't you come with me?
Where?
To washington?
You and hope and J.
J.
What?Are you crazy?
We just moved here.
It's not permanent.
I'll give you a job.
You can help outwith the
campaign,just like you used to.
We'll get a nanny for
hope,tutor for J.
J.
Think of the great
experienceit'll be for him.
Greg,I don't know.
Everything on the up and up.
I'll stayin the admiral's house.
You
get your own apartment.
No strings.
Look,before you say
no,do me a favor,will you?
And just think about it.
Make a list.
Pros and cons.
You do that for me?
I'll be back later tonight.
Give you plenty of timeto realize
that the right answeris yes.
Wait.
- You forgot these.
- The cookies.
Thank you.
Hey,sweetie.
You're getting visionsof
armageddon,aren't you?
my visions are always
connected to stillson,gene.
That he was goingto start it.
But ever since janus died,I don't know.
It just seems likedoomsday
is off,you know?
Your eggswill get cold,herb.
I don't care.
Just one little bite.
What did you see?
My parents,they were here in the house.
I always remembermy
mother,gene,but my father
always seems hazier to me.
I always used to
dreamabout him,you know?
I'd dream about the questionsI would
ask him if I'd get to see him again.
Why am I having
visionsof my parents now?
A lot of thingsdon't
make sense to me either.
Jacinta definitely
knewwhat was going on.
And they killed her.
But how did she find you?
I don't know.
You got a pictureof her here.
No I don'T.
Yeah you do.
Right there.
She's standingright next to janus.
so you went to the basement?
I still don't knowhow you
knew about the bulletin boards.
I can't tell you.
But at least you
knoweverything I say is true.
How did you find me?
I've been lookinginto the
coalition for a better america.
One man in particular.
Malcolm janus.
Is he the same man that
cameto visit herb smith?
Yes,but only after the fire.
After the fire?
That meansthat herb smith's alive.
I'm sorry I waited so long.
I was afraid.
But I should have saidsomething.
I hope it's not too late.
Sheriff bannerman,do you know
how longI've held on to this?
My father's alive.
****The vice president.
He wants to know if we
wantto go to washington,D.
C.
Didn't we just move here?
Well,yeah.
But it wouldn't be forever.
And I need a job,and he's
offered me one.
I don't know.
I think it might bea nice adventure.
Something new.
I'm not sure about him.
What do you mean?I thought
you guyswere getting along.
Well,yeah,sort of.
It's just that,I don't know.
I can't explain it.
Well,what?Did something happen?
He cheated at cards.
When we were playing war.
Really?
That's a crummy thing to do
cheat a kid.
No,he did it so I could win.
Well,he was tryingto be nice.
Are you sure that's it?
I mean,it's not--it's not because
you think that he and I are--
no.
It was the cards.
Is there any informationon
walt's computer?
Well,he had been doing
researchinto janus and the cba.
Like me.
And neither of youfound out much,but
he was looking into something
calledthe global horizon ventures.
Global horizon?Faith heritage
used to receivechecks from them.
I had no ideathey had
a connection to cba.
Here's another surprise,gene.
They've been paying jacinta.
And this is how walt found her.
See,he was looking into janus.
He uncoveredcba's shell company.
And then found jacinta's name.
Garden of grace.
They receiveda lot of money.
how much does it cost
to maintain a garden?
Anyway,jacinta saidto stay away from
the garden,because of the snakes.
But what kind of snakes?
The serpent in the garden.
So how'd it go?
Jacinta's dead.
I didn't touch smith.
Think that was a mistake?
How much do you thinksmith
knows?Is he close?
Jacinta left a trailof breadcrumbs.
And you know what the
breadcrumbs could lead to.
Do what you have to do.
I've seen these before.
They're the same flowersmy mother
put next to my fatherin my visions.
Johnny,get down!
Get down.
Stay here.
Wait,john!
Sonny elliman.
Didn't he used to workfor stillson?
he was going for the
door.
Let's get some rope.
That ought to hold him.
I wonder wherethat leads.
Only one wayto find out.
Uh,john?
Uh,perhaps we should,uh,call
the sheriff's department.
You can go back upif you want.
No,no,no,I'm not leaving you.
I'm not going to let you downagain.
It's an exact replicaof your house.
Johnny.
Dad?
hey,dad.
Been a long time,huh?
I was wonderingwhen you'd be coming by.
Only way I can keep
trackof you is on tv.
They keep you busy.
I haven't been on tv,dad.
I'm your son.
It's john,dad.
No,that's my son there.
you know whathe's going to be.
Commander in chief.
Must be nice to get awayfrom
washington sometimes.
Yeah,it is.
I'm proud of you.
Everything is working
outjust the way I told them.
Told them?
Told who,dad?
Told who?
Wife.
Every presidential
candidateneeds a wife.
Children.
A beautiful widow,one
whose husband died a hero.
Poll numbers go way up.
Thank you,vera.
Faith heritage chapel has to
burn.
Fresh start for everyone.
Weather lady saysit's gonna be
sunny tomorrow,but she's wrong.
It's going to rain.
Don't forget your umbrella.
I know,I know.
Thank you,dad.
My father thinksI'm stillson.
He thinks jacintawas my mother.
So the coalitionfor a
better america built this?
They built the smith
house?They recreated it?
To keep him here?
Make him think he was back home?
They used him?
As what,their personal psychic?
Janus is dead.
Who--who's
in charge?
All this time,we thoughthe was a puppet.
We thought wrong,gene.
Now he's got his eyeson sarah.
So how you feeling,dad?
Sarah's gonna marry johnny.
He's a lucky man.
She loves him
very much.
He has to marry her.
If he doesn't,the world will end.
Do what you have to do.
Are you sure?
Smith stays alive,he's gonna find out
there was never anybodynamed meeks.
He's gonna knowit was owned by the cba.
He's gonna trace thatstraight
through janus to me.
No loose ends.
I won't allow anythingto
come between me and sarah.
********
So I was actuallyon my way back.
But I really wantedto stop by and see
if you'd putany though into what I said.
Well,it's a major change.
And I have to talkto J.
J.
About it.
And I can't give youanything definitive
right now,but I am leaning towards yes.
Well,that's wonderful.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
Hello.
- Sara
- Uh,hi.
Listen,I need to talk to
you right now about stillson.
Oh,well,this isn'tthe best time.
Sarah,listen to me.
If there's any hope for usat all,if I've ever
meantanything to you,listen to me right now.
Stillson is lying to
you about the cabin.
What?
I saw itin a vision.
There is no one named meeks.
The cabin is ownedby the cba.
It's an organization
that stillson belongs to.
He made it all up.
He made it all upto get you.
Wait--I-I can't talk
about thisright now.
Listen,stillson only caresabout
one thing,and that's himself.
He is not the man that
you or J.
J.
Think he is.
Believe me.
I'm sorry,I have to go.
Sarah--
bad news?
No,no--it's just some
paperwork about the cabin.
I have people thatcan cut
through all that.
You know that.
I'm sure.
Which reminds me-- you know,I never got mr.
Meeks
address so that I couldproperly thank him.
Oh yeah--no,that's
no problem.
And you met him?
Yeah,yeah,he is A
he is a terrific guy.
Really is,I'll tell ya.
There is no meeks,is there?
Was that,uhis that what
that phone callwas about?
And this cabin is owned by the
cba,which means that it belongs to you?
Sarah,if
you just--
you better tell mewhat the
hell is going on here right now.
I know you can see things.
You can tell mewhat's gonna happen.
Yes.
Dad,I'm just like you.
I can see things.
Dad.
Dad!
Dad,it's johnny.
John is the vice president.
No.
Dad.
Daddy,they lied to you.
And they lied to me too.
But I'm here.
I am here now.
Dad,do you know about J.
J.
?
Sarah's son.
J.
J.
'S your grandson,dad.
I know that.
Can I see that?
If you're seeing this,john,it's because
your father's aliveand you found him.
I'm gonna give thisto jacinta.
Remember when I took it?
I wanted to give itto your father
so that he couldsee his grandson.
I'm afraid things might
notwork out too well for me.
I think that they
knowI'm getting too close.
So I gotta ask youa favor.
I want you to take
careof sarah and J.
J
and the new baby.
It's a girl.
I asked the doctor.
But I didn't tell sarah.
Can you believe it?
A little girl.
One more thing

you to teach J.
J.
To shave.
You've been a good friend,john.
Dad,listen to me.
This is my son.
This is your grandson.
I'm john.
I'm johnny.
Johnny.
you lied to me.
Sarah,I never deceived you.
It was janus.
What,janus?Malcolm janus?
Jesus christ,sarah.
Janus is who framed walt.
What?You knew about this?
I found outlong after the fact.
Remember,sarah,I'm the
onethat ended the problem.
What does that matter?He worked for you.
The day that janus died,I
got a second chance.
And you're a partof that second chance.
Please
sarah,come to washingtonwith me.
I'll take thingsas
slowly as you like,I will.
But as long as you're there,nothing
else really matters.
Just
I'd never do anythingto
hurt you.
Sarah,you know that.
Nor anyone that I cared
about.
But please
- johnny was right about you.
- No.
The only person you
care aboutis yourself.
What,pop?
You didn't want to learnto ice skate.
You said it was too cold.
Your mother bundled you upand bought
you mittens to attach to your jacket
so you wouldn't lose them.
And they hadreindeer on 'em.
We couldn't get you off the ice.
And then you fellon the
ice,you hit your head.
And we were so worriedabout

Your motherwas up all night.
But you're fine.
