(mysterious music)
- Looks like a tracer.
(mysterious music)
- Looks like a little eye flicker over there.
I think he might be coming to.
- You can see the fire in his eyes again.
- [Tyler] It's about time your sorry butt woke up.
- Hey Tyler.
- [Tyler] I'm glad you're okay, man.
You gave us all a really big scare there.
Anyway, get well soon, okay?
We got some gigs lined up.
- Not to mention homework assignments.
Monty, how are you feeling?
- Hey professor.
(Monty groans)
I've felt better.
Can somebody to tell me why I'm here?
And why I have such a massive headache?
- Let's just say
that you gave Humpty Dumpty a run for his money.
- You had a great fall.
- So then when are all the king's horses
and all the king's men showing up?
- I'm afraid you're looking at 'em.
Monty, you may be wondering who this gentleman is.
It's Detective Shek.
he would like to ask you some questions,
but only if you feel up to it.
- Hi Monty.
If this gets to be too much for you,
we can do it another day.
- Got nothing else better to do so hit me.
- Apparently you were walking down the sidewalk
on Westover Avenue and you collapsed,
hit your head on the pavement.
You've been unconscious here for the last three days.
- Three days?
- Yeah.
The staff here has taken some blood tests
and they found traces of gamma hydroxybutyrate,
GHB in your system.
You ever heard of that?
- No, are you kidding me?
- I wish I was.
You don't seem like the kind of guy
that would do that consciously.
It's the kind of drug that's usually given to somebody
without their consent or knowledge.
It's kind of like a date rape drug.
- That's awful.
- It was probably given to you
about a half hour before you collapsed.
Do you remember coming in contact with anyone
prior to that?
- Off the top of my head.
- Well, what's left of it anyway.
- Lame.
- I'm drawing a blank, detective.
- Can we just let this young man get some rest?
They'll be plenty of time for questions later.
- Sure.
- Wait, I do remember now.
(ominous music)
Professor Derring.
He stopped by the apartment while I was there.
- What on Earth for?
- That's what I thought.
He dropped off this book.
Kind of weird, you know,
he just popped up unannounced.
- Yeah, it sure is.
Where you one of his students?
- No, but I stopped by his office one time
to ask him a physics question.
- We can pick this up another time.
- Monty, we've got to go
but you take care of yourself
and you get plenty of rest, okay?
- Thank you.
- [Tyler] Yeah, rest up champ, okay?
- Hey Tyler?
- Yeah, what's up?
- Thanks for being there, buddy.
- Daisy.
- Hey professor.
It's sad this happened to Monty.
- I know
but you know he was actually pretty lucky.
It could've been worse.
But hey, thanks for stopping by.
- Luck?
- What was that?
- You said Monty was lucky that it wasn't worse.
Did you say that for me
because you know I'm a non-believer?
Deep down did you really want to say
that maybe his guardian angel stepped up?
It's okay, it'll be our secret.
I'll say a prayer for him just in case.
(mysterious music)
- You know I,
I've never had a good feeling about that guy.
- Who?
- My colleague, Professor Derring.
- Charles.
- Yeah?
- We still haven't given up on your grandson.
- I know, thank you.
(mysterious music)
- Shay, where are you?
(ominous music)
- [Dr. Weber] Three years sober, not too shabby.
- [Charles] But every day is like day one.
- And the flashbacks?
- I thought you therapists had this magic wand
that you could just sort of erase them.
- Yeah well I had to send mine out to be recalibrated.
- Touche.
- Okay, so tell me about your new job situation.
- Well, you know, out of the blue,
I got this offer to teach.
- Well folks, once again,
we're having a banner year,
which means we're gonna be adding an elective.
- Crip course.
- Sorry, crip course?
- Useless and meaningless,
fluff, for lack of a better word.
- However, whatever we call it,
let's give 'em their money's worth.
Charles, even though you're a full professor
from a much larger university,
we've always had the policy of the last man or woman in
gets to teach the crip course.
- I accept my medicine.
- Thank you for being such a team player.
I think you're gonna enjoy it.
- I'm sure.
What's it gonna be?
- We're calling it "Why Religion?".
There's no textbook
so you'll be free to take it where you want.
- Professor, I,
I don't think I'm the one you want to teach this course.
I mean well I'm not really into the Bible
or theology or anything like that.
- Come on old, man.
You can handle it.
- But then there was this colleague of mine,
he's just, I don't know.
- Just what?
- Well I guess there's always one, you know?
- One what?
- I can't put my finger on it,
but something's just not right.
- So Monty, I know you've been through a lot,
but I want to try to piece together all the details.
So why don't we reconstruct everything
starting with when you first started school here?
- Well Tyler and I were roommates and best of buds.
We formed this musical duo.
(gentle guitar music)
(Monty sighs)
Man, I thought we'd have a recording contract by now.
- Well all is not lost, my friend.
At least we'll have some sort of degree this year.
- Yeah, I'm thinking bigger.
- Well, if we work hard
and with the big guy's approval,
it could happen.
- Better pray harder then.
- I don't think that's how it works, bro.
- [Monty] Hey, you owe me one, Tyler.
If you would've signed up on time,
we wouldn't have been stuck in this crazy class.
- [Tyler] Listen dude,
I thought I would be working this semester,
but my uncle threw me a few bucks.
- Lucky you.
Anyway, I'm psyched about tonight.
First day of classes always brings a packed house.
- Man, I'm excited for that overflowing tip jar.
(ominous music)
- Dude, what are you doing picking up trash?
You turning into some granola eating hippie freak?
- No man, it's glass.
I collect it everywhere I go.
I've been doing that for awhile.
- Dude, that's weird.
I guess the apple doesn't fall too far off the tree.
His Uncle Lewis is an archeologist,
sends him bits of glass from everywhere.
Like his last dig, he was in the Middle East.
(Eastern music)
- All right, all right, look,
let's see what we have.
Now that's it.
Let's call it a day, huh?
(mysterious music)
- Wait, over here!
- Ah let's see.
Ah look at that.
- [Yarin] What is it?
- Most likely first century,
probably Roman glass.
Then again, it could just be a broken beer bottle
left behind by some drunken Turks.
Strange how it's glowing though.
I know just who to send this to.
- Someone who likes rare antiquities?
- You could say that.
Thank you.
Good job.
See what else is in there.
- And you and Tyler had Professor Bando
for one of your classes, right?
- [Monty] Yeah, for the "Why Religion?" class.
- What was that like?
- Good morning.
I'm professor Charles Bando.
Welcome to "Why Religion?"
- I heard it's a crip course so easy A.
- Well, isn't it?
- Gentlemen, I may look over the hill,
but rest assured my hearing is stellar.
- Sorry, Monty Lawrence.
- [Charles] And your friend?
- Tyler Samuel, sir.
- Nice start.
- So here we are, my young friends,
"Why Religion?" and why not?
Our job over the next few weeks
is to make a case if you can,
but don't expect me to teach you the Bible
and I don't need to know what faith you are.
- Ah, oui oui, mademoiselle.
Hey, you should come see us play tonight.
- Ah, are you any good?
- I think we're pretty good.
- Pretty good?
We're really good.
- Okay yeah, we're pretty good.
- And you gonna tell me where?
- Beans and Vines.
- Yeah, past Columbia and Main.
- Okay, so see you guys.
(laughing)
- My glass collection.
I've got a whole box full of these.
- Hmm, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
- Glass making goes back thousands of years
in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
I just, I just hope the class
doesn't think it's too weird.
- Oh dude, the class?
You can't share the class.
They'll find it too weird.
- Really?
- Dude, I'm kidding.
Gosh, lighten up.
- Well, what about you?
You said you didn't have any hobbies.
(gentle guitar music)
- Sound, sound fascinates me.
- In what way?
- What happens with sound when we no longer hear it?
Does it leave a footprint?
- Yeah, CDs, cassettes, tapes.
- But this conversation,
what happens when we stop talking?
Is it gone forever?
Now while you're chewing on that one,
let's get going, we got a gig.
That's when things started getting a little weird.
- [Detective Shek] Weird, in what way?
- [Monty] I don't know how to describe it,
strange things started happening.
I heard this kind of whoosh sound
and it gave me this weird feeling.
Then, after, Tyler tells me about this phone call
he gets from his Uncle Lewis,
something about this new artifact he's sending.
- [Samuels] Hey Tyler, I think I may have something
of interest for you.
I'm gonna send it in the mail.
(mysterious music)
* Heavy line
(audience applauding)
- Thank you, thank you. - Thank you.
- Hello, you too. - Oh hey.
(mysterious music)
- Wow.
Huh.
Nice find, Uncle Lewis.
(gentle country music)
- Good afternoon, how's it going?
- Couldn't be better.
- What can I get for you?
- Shot of whiskey and a bottled water.
- Sounds like a good choice.
- Hi son, I just want to talk.
Please give me a call when you get a chance.
I love you.
Dad.
- Saving the best for last, I see?
- Not today.
Thanks.
- Not gonna throw that away, are ya?
- I had another close call
but I was able to pull through it.
- Charles, as of yet,
you haven't really told me
exactly what you're having flashbacks about,
only that you have them.
- Well, it's a long story.
My wife, my son, my daughter-in-law don't talk to me.
We haven't spoken for three years.
- I understand.
Well, tell me about the classes you taught last semester.
- Well, the class that I had least looked forward to
I actually liked the best.
It's got a great bunch of kids.
- Professor, if your lesson's a complete flop today,
blame Tyler and Monte.
They played so well no one wanted to leave.
- That good, eh?
- Yeah so so.
- All right, gang, let's get to it.
Why do people engage in religion?
- Well I mean isn't it whether you just believe or not?
- No, it's not that easy.
- [Charles] Well explain yourself, Miss Tenna.
- It doesn't explain
all the different religions or churches.
- You would've thought they would've narrowed them down
after a few thousand years, right?
- I think church goers are lazy.
- [Charles] Well that's a pretty profound statement.
Do you mean churchgoers or just believers?
- Both, I have no use for religion.
- [Tyler] For now.
- [Charles] What was that, Mr. Samuels?
- I said she has no use for now.
- Well how about I play the devil's advocate
and ask you to explain yourself?
- Devil's advocate, doesn't that assume the devil exists?
- Well, what do you believe?
- I believe in the power of the Lord Jesus Christ
and that the devil exists in his absence.
Hey, hey, so thanks for that hearty endorsement
of our performance last night.
- Just trying to make you better, challenging you.
- So a cup of coffee at the Beans tonight?
- Mmm, you will be serenading me?
- No, I could never do that to my worst enemy.
- Good, see you at eight.
- Ready man?
- Let's do it.
- All right.
- Asking me for coffee twice in a week,
I'm not sure about that.
- Okay, well Tuesday was for coffee.
On Fridays, I work on fan appeal.
- Is it hard work?
- If they're as tough as you yes, it's hard work.
- Oh the kids are making me feel old.
- Must be tough.
- Hey, you're not exactly a spring chicken yourself.
- White wine for the lady, a red for myself.
Make sure they're both in a real glass.
- Don't worry, we won't bring out the styrofoam
until at least your third glass.
- Just get the wine.
(giggling)
- What's with the no glass look?
You doing a Harold Lloyd impression?
- That's for me to know and for you to find it.
- So basically, Tyler gets this crazy idea
to take the artifact he got from his uncle
along with some of the other pieces of glass
and solder them together.
(gentle guitar music)
Hey, why'd you decide to do this with the glasses?
- My uncle recently just sent me another piece
and I thought, you know, it was being put to waste.
So I put all my glass in to a piece of lens and you know,
it's pretty cool, look at the world through colored glass.
Yeah listen, I was gonna ask you,
how do you feel about playing everything tonight,
you know, even the Christian songs we wrote?
- Okay, I mean if you feel that confident.
- Oh I do.
- All right, I mean I guess so.
- All right, well we gotta head out though,
because it's soon and we got practice there, okay?
- But wait, do me a favor,
just make sure you don't blow our careers.
(Tyler sighs)
- Alrighty, let's go.
(ominous music)
- I wanted to get this-
- Hey man, some guy just ran past me out front
with a long stick or tool.
He just ran out back,
you might want to go catch him.
- Um, nice glasses.
- Forgot I had 'em on.
- Well, it's probably just a street bum
and I'll check it out when I go on break.
- Okay.
(mysterious music)
- [Male] That boy needs help bad.
- He does, really bad.
These kids these days.
- [Detective Shek] Tell me more
about this Professor Derring.
- To be honest, he kind of strikes me as rather
distant and cold.
- Excuse me, Monty?
Detective Shek, how can I help you?
- [Charles] Detective, this is Charles Bando.
I was just checking to see if Lee and Ben
had made it in to sign the declaration of death for Shay.
- No, they never showed up or called.
I'll let you know when they do.
- [Charles] Thanks detective.
- Welcome professor.
It looks like you're making the most of that crip course.
- And how's that, JL?
- Marguerite and I
were at the Beans and Vines Coffee Shop
a couple of days ago-
- And a couple of your students going on and on
about how your lectures were so divisive and you know,
upsetting, disturbing.
- I actually think they call that passion.
And as both of you know, young folks have a lot of that
or maybe I'm just interesting enough
that the students actually learn.
Oh I'm sorry I have to go,
but you two have a nice day.
- You too.
- So the one thing that concerns me
is that recently I had a flashback during my class.
Miracles and coincidence-
- You left off one other important word professor.
- All right Daisy, enlighten us.
- Hoax.
- Interesting, but why would someone
want to try to fool someone
into believing something that isn't true?
- I think a lot of them
are just trying to convince themselves.
- Yeah, they're just looking for someone or something
to justify their beliefs.
- How can you say it?
Miracles happen all the time,
we're just not paying attention.
- I agree, the old saying
if a tree fall in the forest,
we cannot hear them all.
- [Charles] Good point.
- I have another angle.
What if people were in the wrong place at the wrong time
or the right place at the right time?
- No!
- I'm done, I am done with you.
- Wait, wait!
(dramatic music)
- Mr. Bando, we were interested in what you think.
- Um (clears throat),
listen class, I'm going to hold my opinions for now.
I asked for your unabashed thoughts
and we got them.
So let's turn to the assignment
on our hobbies and interests.
You know I thought this would really be a good way
that we could maybe get a better feel
for where we're all coming from.
The floor is yours.
- I'm a sound man.
- Seems natural for a musician.
Must be a gift.
- From who?
Where did he get that gift?
- From God, of course.
- Yeah right.
You mean his parents.
- I've always wondered
whether sounds leaves behind a fossil.
Like wouldn't it be great to hear
and listen to what people said
long before they had recordings?
- So let me guess,
so you can like hear Jesus's words in his own voice?
- Yeah kinda.
- [Daisy] Whatever.
- You're not from the valley.
- What do you know?
I'm originally from Encino, dork.
- Oh all right now, that's enough, no putdowns.
Tyler?
- So this might sound a little strange,
but I collect unique pieces of broken glass.
I've been doing it since I was a kid
and I just look for it wherever I go.
- This is true, I have seen him in action.
- Any particular reason?
- I believe that pieces of glass can capture an image
of what was happening at that time.
- Interesting.
- Are you ready now to tell me exactly what happened
the day your grandson was kidnapped?
- It was a typical Sunday, beautiful day.
My son and daughter-in-law were out of town
so we had Shay for the weekend.
(light cheery music)
- I slept wonderfully.
- Me too, grandma.
Here's your breakfast.
Grandpa and I woke up early just to surprise you.
- Well actually Shay did most of the work.
I really didn't help that much.
- This is so sweet.
It looks absolutely delicious.
Oh Charles, it's such a beautiful day.
Let's do something really fun and neat with Shay
before we take him home.
- I think that's great
so we'll go right after church.
- Can't we just skip church today?
- Well, I mean it's only an hour
and well I kind of think we need to set a good example
for Shay and besides,
I kind of think that's what Ben and Lee would want.
I'll be right there, Shay.
We don't want to be late.
- [Grandma] He's all ready to go.
- All right, you take care.
- I will babe.
I'll see you in just a little bit.
- I'll see you after church, yeah?
Okay Shay, let's go.
(grandma chuckling)
(ominous music)
(church bells ringing) (organ music)
- Oh hey Shay.
Hey good morning, Charles.
How are you?
- Hey Charles, we might need a little help
with some of the elders.
- Okay, all right.
Hey, good morning, Mrs. McKendree, how are you?
- I need to go to the bathroom.
- Oh, can you wait until I seat Mrs. McKendree?
- [Leigh] Charles, I can take him.
- Okay well, it's always a pleasure
when you're here with us.
- [Mrs. McKendree] Oh I'm so glad to be here.
- No, no, I'll take him.
- Oh thanks. - Come on, Shay.
- Oh good, here's your seat.
It's available, good, good.
- [Mrs. McKendree] Thank you so much Charles.
- Watch your hand.
- Barry, where's Shay?
- I was washing my hands,
I turned around he was out the door.
I thought he'd be back in his seat.
(ominous music)
- Folks, let's take a moment to pray.
(ominous music)
- Shay! - Shay!
- Where are you?
- [Male] Shay!
- What happened there affected everybody
and many left.
The giving dropped down to almost nothing.
The pastor had to step down.
It was a royal mess.
I, the whole church,
we searched the entire building, we, every office,
every classroom.
- Oh no, have you been drinking?
Have you really been drinking again?
Charles, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I am not gonna do this anymore.
We've been over it and over it.
- No honey-
- I am done!
I am done with you and your excuses.
- Wait, wait!
You've got to listen to me because-
- No, I'm not gonna-
- He was my grandson, too.
- You make me sick.
- I never had a drop that day.
- [Grandma] Get off of me.
- [Charles] Don't you believe me?
- I've had it, I'm done.
I'm not doing this anymore.
Don't you get it?
(Charles crying) (sad music)
(Charles mumbling)
- Not a word.
Not a trace.
My wife blames me and-
- I can't even imagine what it's like for you,
for all of you.
So your daughter-in-law and wife both blame you
because they suspect you might've
gone back to drinking again?
- I didn't have a drink that day.
Now I admit I came close to a relapse
but you know I was able to keep it together,
but nobody, including my son,
none of the family will talk to me.
My wife is planning to divorce me
and it's all based on a false accusation.
- Charles, I admire you remaining sober.
And from what I can tell
what happened is not your fault whatsoever.
- Well, thank you.
- There's a recording,
a never ending loop going around your head.
So you need to listen to me, Dr. Charles Bando,
you're a good man.
You hear me?
A good man.
Yeah, you've messed up in life, we all have,
but at your core, in your heart of hearts,
you want to do the right thing.
- But how do I convince my wife
and my son and my daughter-in-law?
Because all they know is that their son is gone
and that it happened on my watch
and I'm the drunk that let it happen.
(sad music)
(Charles sighs)
I,
you know I so hope that we can find that monster
who took my grandson.
- Mrs. Bando, how long has he been like this?
- It started this morning and
he just started to get worse as the day went on.
- We need to run tests now.
(dark music)
- Oh gosh honey,
oh you're burning up.
(Ben groaning)
(dark music) (Ben groaning)
- I was curious about Bando
so I tried to find out a few things.
Our college won't release very much about him
other than to say he was quite the history professor.
- And?
- I think he's a liar.
He told Professor Knowles
he wasn't into the Bible, theology or anything like that.
He's running
or he's hiding.
Listen, I have an idea.
(mysterious music)
(mystical music)
- [Detective Shek] So back to these glasses,
you're seeing really weird things.
So then what happened?
- [Monty] Sorry.
- [Tyler] Dude, what did you lose?
- [Monty] Nothing.
Hey, hey, where'd you put those glasses?
- [Tyler] They're in my pocket man.
I told Dreann that I'd show them to her at the park.
Let her see all the different colors it makes.
- And other things.
- [Tyler] What?
- Nothing, nothing.
- [Tyler] All right.
- Hey.
- [Tyler] What?
- So after, after, do you mind if I use 'em?
- [Tyler] I don't know yet.
Are you ready to practice?
- Yeah, don't forget.
We got to rehearse tonight.
- [Tyler] Yeah, I know.
- Right.
By now, I'm obsessed with what those glasses can really do.
So I decided to test them out one more time.
So I waited for Tyler to get back from his date
with that really hot French girl.
I mean Tyler still really doesn't know
what those glasses can do.
(mysterious music)
- Wow, what a show.
Check these out.
Well?
- Uh, I just see trees and dirt.
- What?
Well you got to get your eyes checked
'cause this is amazing.
Look, try again.
- Oh my God.
Oh you're right.
Oh.
- Well it seemed
every time I went to that convenience store
weird stuff would happen.
So I intentionally brought the glasses with me just in case.
(ominous music)
Oh um, what'd you do to him?
I'll call the police.
Don't come any closer.
If you're homeless, I'll buy you a sandwich or something.
The civil war reenactment group meets monthly at the local,
what did you do to him?
Is he okay?
- Are you a local courier?
Tell Mrs. Steale that Noah,
he fought really bravely right until the end.
(mysterious music)
- Hey I forgot to ask
what are you presenting as your hobby or interest for class?
- I will talk about dolls.
- Dolls, that's pretty unique.
- Do you know that dolls making
go all the way back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome?
- I did not know that.
- And started in 15th century Germany?
- That's new to me, that's very different.
- Not that different than broken glasses.
- Aren't you maybe a little worried
that the class will think it's a little out of the ordinary
that somebody your age is collecting dolls?
- I knew this really young
that it's less painful
when you don't make other people opinion
more important than yours.
- You know, a lot of people pay a lot of money
to learn what you did as a kid.
- I really liked what you said in class.
- Which was?
- You know the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Wow, this takes a lot of courage.
- I don't know about courage,
just staying true to my convictions.
- And this makes me like you more.
- Okay.
I'll see in class, right?
(cheery piano music)
- Morning, Charles.
How are you today?
- Just fine.
How about yourself?
- You know, I couldn't be better.
This is a little hard for me,
but I was wondering if maybe we could go for a cup of coffee
or a drink sometime.
- Well I must say that I'm really flattered
that such an attractive, intelligent woman
would be interested in me
but I'm married.
- Oh I'm, I'm sorry.
When I didn't see a ring on your left hand,
I just thought you were a free man.
- Well, it's personal reasons
but thanks for asking.
- Bye.
(cheery piano music)
- Good Monday morning all.
Our word for today is death.
And for some that may bring cold chills,
but to others it represents a new beginning.
- [Daisy] Yeah right.
- Dad and Daisy at it again.
- [Charles] Would you like to say something?
- I would.
Why do people have such a hard time with this?
Why can't they just admit, lights out, game over?
- Because that's permanent.
Death doesn't offer much to life.
Jesus knew that we would fear dying.
That's why he told us that eternal life would be ours
if we walk in his steps.
- Oh please.
- Look, you can either believe
that all of us are accidental,
meaningless lumps of protoplasm
meandering around with no purpose or value or,
or that we are created beings made in the image of God
with an eternal destiny,
with purpose and value,
placed here to fulfill a divine master plan.
(dark music)
- All right class, on a lighter note,
are there any interests or hobbies
that you'd like to disclose?
- I didn't want to leave my prized glass in a box
so I turned them into glasses.
(ominous music)
Professor, professor, are you okay?
- Yeah somehow it just,
just sort of made me a little dizzy.
- [Detective Shek] So Monty, tell me the first time
you made contact with Professor Derring.
- Well, after I had
that weird thing happen at the convenience store,
since I knew he taught physics,
I thought I'd stop by, pick his brain.
(knocking on door)
- Hold on.
Jesus.
- Hey, I heard you're a physics teacher.
- Go on.
- I've always been interested in sound
and what happens to it when it stops?
- I recognize you now.
You're one of the musicians from the coffee and wine house.
Look, if you've come here
for me to help you with a project, I'm too busy.
- No, no that's not it.
I read in one of the theory journals
that time could be happening all around us
just at a different pace.
- I'm aware of that theory.
- So theoretically,
something that may have happened 50 or even 100 years ago,
could be happening all around us now, right?
- That's right.
If the theory's correct.
But it doesn't matter.
There's no way to prove it or see it.
Did you watch a movie or something
that got you thinking about this.
- No, I guess I'm just curious.
- Oh.
- Well, what do you think it would take
to make the past visible?
- A miracle.
- Thanks professor.
Hey, ever heard of a Noah Steale from the Civil War?
- Sounds familiar, I'm not sure.
Those are some seriously funky looking glasses.
Where'd you get them?
- From a friend.
Well hey professor, I'll see you around.
Thanks again.
(dramatic music)
- Noah Steale?
(dramatic music)
- What is so interesting?
- Just daydreaming.
Hey man, you mind if I use those glasses later,
just for a bit, I'll be quick?
- I'm gonna start charging you, man.
Hey, you in love or something?
- No, man, that would be you, champ.
Just got a lot on my mind, that's all.
- Alright well, don't forget we have rehearsal
and if you remember, we have a gig Friday.
- That's right.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
See ya.
(dramatic music)
- That's who we're waiting for.
- The musician kid?
- That's right.
- And why exactly are we following him?
- It's just a hunch, but I think this Monty kid
is seeing Noah Steale.
- Noah Steale.
Who in God's name is Noah Steale?
- Well that's just it.
You, a college professor,
doesn't know an obscure local but noble person.
Then how does an out-of-town 21 year old know about him?
- Well maybe met him.
- Perhaps, but he died over 150 years ago.
- And you made this fantastical astronomical
leap of logic because?
- I know it sounds crazy but-
- Do you?
- Somehow, I think he's found a way to see him.
- Okay.
(ominous music)
Guess we're waiting for Noah Steale, right?
- Bingo.
He's not out here for nothing.
That's it, that's what I was waiting for.
- [Professor Hanson] It was?
- Young man, how's it going?
- Oh, hey Professor Derring.
- I see you got those dope looking windows on again.
- Yeah.
- I'll bet the view is super cool.
Mind if I try 'em on?
- Sure.
(dramatic music)
Pretty cool view, huh?
- Yeah, thanks for letting me try 'em on.
- Yeah.
Hey, come on out to Beans and Vines Friday,
we're gonna be playing again.
- I'll try to do that.
You take care.
- Thanks professor.
- Then there was this grateful night
that I got the call that no one ever wants to get.
- [Mason] You doing okay?
- What do you think?
- [Mason] Charles, I was gonna call you next week
but I may as well tell you now.
- What is it?
- [Mason] I got a call from your son, Ben.
- What'd he say?
- [Mason] They're going ahead with the declaration of death.
(dark music)
- Mine too.
- The truth is Rob,
you've become a liability that we can't afford.
- What does that mean?
- We can't afford to make payments on the church any longer.
We're gonna bulldoze and sell the land outright.
It's in a good location so I'm sure we'll find a buyer.
- You can't do that.
The people will come back,
just give it a little more time.
- I'm afraid we've run out of time, Rob.
Three years is long enough.
- [Rob] Now what?
- You've got 30 days.
Also, the entire board is voting.
We will no longer be supporting you financially.
- We are all very sorry, Rob.
And we thank you so very much for everything you did.
- That's it.
(dark music)
- I want you to know I've been praying for you, Reverend,
and I know God has a plan.
- Well, I appreciate your prayers.
No man of the cloth should feel as useless as I do.
- Ben, I love you, honey.
Oh I'm so sorry you're in so much pain.
- Mr. And Mrs. Bando, I have the test results.
- Yes, he's gonna be okay right?
- Well it looks like you have some form
of Legionnaires' disease,
which one we don't know.
- What does that mean?
- It's a type of pneumonia.
And there is a possibility that you could go into a coma
and not recover.
I'm sorry.
But we're doing everything possible to fight this.
- Everyone encounters tests
where everything they hold near and dear to them
comes crashing down
and it forces them to come face to face with us,
our feelings and what makes us who we are.
Something men in particular have difficulty dealing with
is feelings.
They're taught all through childhood
they have to squash their emotions.
They're told not to be a cry baby.
And I'm sure with your military background,
that's especially difficult.
The problem with that
is that God created those emotions in you.
They're meant to be expressed.
In my opinion,
your experiences over the last three years
are equivalent to post-traumatic stress disorder.
(dark music)
- Yes, it has been.
- Call dad.
(Ben groaning)
- Ben I'm sorry honey, what did you say?
What'd ya say sweetie?
- Call dad.
(sad music)
I want to see him before I go.
(sad music)
It's okay.
(sad music)
- Hello?
- [Leigh] This is your daughter-in-law, Leigh.
- Hey Leigh, how are you?
- [Leigh] This isn't a social call.
- Okay.
Where's Ben?
- [Leigh] That's why I'm calling.
- I know, I mean I know
about the declaration of death signing.
- [Leigh] Ben wants to talk.
- Okay.
Okay, what's your new address?
- [Leigh] I'll text it to you.
I got to go, bye.
- My son wants to talk to me after three years.
- See, what did I tell you?
Put that away, go see your son.
- God bless you, Charles.
- I got a text from Leigh
and the address brought me here to the hospital
so why are you here?
- I don't know.
I got a phone call from someone
who said they needed me here.
- Someone, no name?
- No name but I got it on the phone.
It's not there.
- Hmm.
(gentle sad music)
- We didn't call you, reverend.
- [Doctor] I didn't call anyone.
- He's dying, Charles.
And if it would be up to Laura and me,
neither one of us would've called you.
(sad music)
- Dad.
Thanks for coming.
- Oh, no, I'm the one who-
- Please, don't say anything.
I need to talk 'cause I think I'm dying.
- [Charles] No, no.
- Don't tell Leigh.
I love you, dad.
You're a good man.
How stubborn and unforgiving I was.
It wasn't your fault.
- Excuse me, Mr. Bando, he needs to rest now.
- Okay.
(Charles crying) (sad music)
- You know Charles,
I thought losing Shay was enough for one man.
- I've lost my grandson
and now it looks like I'm losing my son.
(upbeat mysterious music)
- [Professor Derring] So far so good.
- What's that?
- It's for the kid.
- What?
- Relax, it'll just keep him asleep
long enough for us to get ahold of those glasses.
- I don't know about that, JL.
- We scientists know that every experiment
begins with a theory, a hypothesis.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's scientific or true,
but it's worth looking into.
It's what we do.
Besides, what have we got to lose?
- Our jobs, our credibility, getting thrown in jail.
Other than that, I mean-
- Wait here.
- JL!
JL!
Oh.
(knocking on door)
- Oh, hey professor.
Come on in.
- Thanks.
- What do I owe the honor of this visit?
- I've been thinking
about the question you asked me about time.
It's refreshing
to see students wanting to expand their knowledge.
I was close by
so I thought I'd bring you the title of a book
that you might find interesting on the subject.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Y'all have another gig tonight I see?
- Yeah, Beans and Vines.
- Tell me, how did you get interested
in the whole space-time continuum thing?
- I guess I just kinda stumbled on it.
- Yeah.
- Well hey professor,
I got to go, I'm gonna be late for the show.
- Oh, oh yeah sure,
I won't take any more of your time.
Hey, good luck tonight.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
- Um, maybe I'll see you there.
- [Monty] Yeah, yeah.
- So how many members in your band?
- It's just a few, it's just me and Tyler from school.
- [Professor Derring] All right, have fun tonight.
- [Monty] Thank you.
(mysterious music)
- Well, you get them?
- Another couple of minutes I would have.
I forgot to factor in his youth and fitness.
(ominous music)
Title of a book you might find interesting.
(ominous music)
- Looks like a tracing.
(mysterious music)
(gentle guitar music)
* A good time is all we need to have a good life *
(audience applauding)
- Thank you, thank you.
I'm gonna take a short break.
I'm sure my better half will be here soon.
Professor, thank you so much for coming.
I'm solo right now
but I think you'll like this next song.
- [Charles] I'm sure it's gonna be great.
- Yeah, all right, here we go again.
I wrote this song with my friend, Monty.
- Tyler, can I see you?
- Just a few moments, people.
(gentle sad music)
* If you think that you have lost your way *
* All you feel inside are clouds of gray *
* Let me tell you what I learned *
- You seemed really tired, professor.
- Yeah, I've been driving out of town several nights a week
because I have a person that I'm very close to
that's in the hospital.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
I'll make sure to say a prayer.
- What do you think happened?
- I really don't know.
Last two weeks, he's been very secretive.
- You think it's psychological?
- No, no, I don't think it's that.
He's been very possessive of those glasses I made.
I hardly got the chance to use them.
- Is that it?
- He said he had to deliver a message for some guy named
Noah Steale.
(ominous music)
- Noah Steale.
- Anyway.
(ominous music)
I overheard some of the nurses
and they're not positive.
- Would you like us to pray together?
- Honestly professor, I'm all out of prayers.
- I was wondering if you happened to know
where your uncle picked up that piece of glass
that he mailed to you?
- I don't know, Middle East, why?
- But just curious, any place in particular?
- I don't know.
Jerusalem maybe,
I think it said something, the place of the skull.
- All right I'll see you soon.
- Lot of people worried about you.
Your buddy Tyler, your schoolmates, Professor Bando,
all the people at Beans and Vines.
- Monty, where are those glasses?
(dramatic music)
- [Doctor] Hello, Mr. Bando?
- [Charles] Yes.
I'm Dr. Fernandez at St. Joseph's Hospital.
- [Charles] Okay.
- [Doctor] I promised to keep you updated
on your son's condition.
- [Charles] Yeah, how is he?
- [Doctor] Well, I hate to have to tell you this,
but this morning he slipped into a coma.
(ominous music)
(hopeful music)
- Hey, where's dad?
- Ben, Ben.
Oh baby.
(ethereal music)
(ominous music)
- Detective, this is Charles.
I need you to listen and don't interrupt.
I need you to run these plates
and find out who they belong to.
South Carolina JTV 2656.
Also, I need you to get Barry Crane back in for questioning.
I know, I know, but technically he didn't kidnap Shay,
he had someone else do it.
- [Male] Hey Gills, I'm gonna take him to number one.
(upbeat music)
- [Charles] Hello?
- [Detective] Charles, I don't know how you did it,
but we did find the owner of that vehicle.
He lived by himself.
- [Charles] Great.
- [Detective] But he died of a heart attack 18 months ago.
But Charles, we know where Barry Crane is.
Can you believe he only moved 50 miles from the church?
Charles, are you there?
- I am.
- [Detective] Let's go find out
what happened to your grandson.
Go to this address and wait for me.
Wait for me.
- [Charles] Great, I'll be ready.
Professor Bando?
- [Murch] This is Chief Detective Murch calling back.
- Oh yeah, hey Chief.
- [Murch] I understand you know Professor Derring?
- Sure, I know Professor Derring.
- [Murch] We arrested him for drugging Monty Lawrence.
- Really?
- Okay Derring, I need to know what you were doing
at that kid's apartment.
You weren't the last person he had contact with.
So did you or did you not slip him that drug?
- I told you everything.
I brought him a book on the space time continuum.
- Is that right?
- That's right.
- I'm trying to be nice here
so let me ask you one last time,
did you or did you not
slip Monte that drug while you were in his apartment?
- No!
- You really must think I'm pretty stupid.
You should know that when I'm asking the question
that I've already done my homework.
You see Derring,
we have a sworn affidavit
from your colleague Professor Hanson
that says you indeed did slip that drug into his drink.
So care to revise your story?
- You ready, Charles?
(dramatic music)
Look, I know you're worked up over this.
You're gonna have to play it cool
if this is gonna go right.
- He kidnapped my grandson.
- Drive this thing like a pro.
(dramatic music)
Now Charles, don't ask me why
but I had a strange feeling
you were gonna show up here today.
I know you won't understand, but
I got no one.
I mean I wanted a family too, a son,
a son that loves me
the way your son loves you,
the way your grandson loves you.
Charles, I swear, I swear I never hurt him.
I never laid a hand on him.
I swear, Charles.
I'm so sorry.
- Grandaddy!
- Barry Crane, you're under arrest
for the abduction of Shay Bando.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say
can and will be used against you
in the court of law.
(sad music)
- Shay.
Shay.
- Shay.
(emotional music) (crying)
My baby.
(emotional music)
(dramatic music)
(gentle music)
- I'll call you right back, thanks.
Well look at you.
You look-
- Happier, vindicated?
- All that and a bag of chips.
- I just came by to say thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'm glad I could be of help.
You remember what I told you?
- You got it.
All the best, Dr. Weber.
- You as well.
- Take care.
(gentle music)
- Hello Charles.
It's so good to be home.
- Well, we are so delighted to host.
Good morning.
- Everything's fine but there's no music.
- Well look who the cat dragged in.
I think our music problem is over.
I'm so glad to see you all.
Honey, these are some of my students.
In fact, these are the ones that I told you about.
This is Tyler
and this is Dreann.
This is my wife.
- It's a pleasure to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.
- And our grandson, Shay.
- Good to meet you. - Glad to meet you.
Dreann, glad to meet you.
- Excuse me for one second.
- Sure.
- Hello?
- [Bill] This is Tyler Samuels right?
Hey Tyler, my name is Bill Gentry.
- Okay yeah, what can I do for you?
- [Bill] I'd love to meet you guys.
I think it'd be great for us to meet.
- Okay I really appreciate that.
- [Bill] And see if we can do something together.
I happened to be in town a couple of weeks ago
and I visited the Beans and Vines Coffee Shop,
coffee and wine shop there
and you and your partner there were singing
and I got to say, I hear
and...
(country music)
(audience applauding)
(ominous music)
(dark ethereal music)
(ominous music)
