0:01:17 > 0:01:19HYMN SINGING

0:01:27 > 0:01:32'Sometimes I think about what we must sound like to God.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42'How does he know who's in trouble and needs help?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49'How does he know to come to us?

0:01:51 > 0:01:55'What you are about to see is true.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57'The names have not been changed,

0:01:57 > 0:02:01'because nobody believes me anyway.'

0:02:01 > 0:02:04# Help is on the way

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Help is on the way. Hold on

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- # Hold on.- He's on his way

0:02:06 > 0:02:09# Help is on the way

0:02:09 > 0:02:10- # Hold on.- Hold on

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- # He's on his way - Help is on the way

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- # Hold on.- Hold on

0:02:16 > 0:02:20# He's on his way

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Help is on the way

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- # Hold on.- Hold on.- He's on his way.- Help is on the way

0:02:23 > 0:02:26# God is on his way. Hold on

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- # Hold on.- He's on his way

0:02:28 > 0:02:32# Help is on the way!

0:02:32 > 0:02:37# Weeping may endure for a night

0:02:37 > 0:02:40# But joy will come

0:02:40 > 0:02:42# In the morning light

0:02:42 > 0:02:44# Hold on

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- # Hold on.- He's on his way

0:02:46 > 0:02:48# Help is on the way... #

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Hi, Saul.- Beverly. So nice to see you.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- # ..Ah-ooh!- Hold on - He's on his way... #

0:02:57 > 0:03:01'That's my mom. The Lord blessed her with the gift of song.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04'She's been singing in this church her whole life.'

0:03:04 > 0:03:07# ..He may not come when you want him

0:03:07 > 0:03:10# But he's right on time

0:03:10 > 0:03:16# He'll be on time, yeah... #

0:03:16 > 0:03:18'Her father used to be the reverend here.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22'But he's not any more. My daddy is.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26'That's him. The one holding his head.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30'He's not looking too happy.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34'Which is sort of how this whole story happened.'

0:03:34 > 0:03:37# ..Help is on the way... #

0:03:37 > 0:03:38All right now!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40# ..Help is on the way... #

0:03:42 > 0:03:45'That's my grandma. She's staying with us for the holidays.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49'Everyone says she needs a man.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51'Whatever that means.'

0:03:51 > 0:03:53# ..Help

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- # Just say.- Help

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- # Cry for your help.- Help

0:03:57 > 0:03:59# God is on the way

0:03:59 > 0:04:01# Help is on the way...

0:04:01 > 0:04:06# Hallelujah! #

0:04:06 > 0:04:07- APPLAUSE - Oh, yes!

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Hallelujah!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Let the church say, amen.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Look at this, Osbert.

0:04:20 > 0:04:2396 dollars and a button.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Who would put a button in the collection?!

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Times are hard, Saul.- The church can't pay its bills on that.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34ALL: Amen.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Beloved, in our exploration of the text today,

0:04:38 > 0:04:42I would like to talk to you about temptation.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46And not just the kind you find in the liquor store,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48or in someone else's bed.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'm talking about temptation of the soul.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56The kind that just kinda... kinda...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58creeps up on you without you even knowing.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59But God knows.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02# God knows! #

0:05:07 > 0:05:09God is that little voice inside

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- that says, "Don't give in." - # Don't give in! #

0:05:12 > 0:05:14- "Don't give up." - # Don't give up! #

0:05:14 > 0:05:17"Begone, temptation!" He knows you're tired.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20That's why he says,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22"Lean on me."

0:05:23 > 0:05:28# Lean... #

0:05:28 > 0:05:32# Lean... #

0:05:36 > 0:05:37He knows you're tempted.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44That's why he says, "Grab on to me.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48"And together, we will rise above."

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Amen.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54If I didn't know any better,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'd say you thought I needed some help in there.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Well, when I realised you were doing one of Daddy's old sermons,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I thought maybe you did.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09I was hoping that he could make a difference, even if I can't.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Honey, if you ask me, you did even better than he did.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Really.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I appreciate your support, honey.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26(Father, forgive me.)

0:06:28 > 0:06:34I'd like to talk about temptation. The kind that creeps up on you.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- 'And that's me - Jeremiah.' - Are you after Daddy's job already?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41'Well, this is the story.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43'My didn't-make-it-up story.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46'It was one week before Christmas.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50'The Christmas I learned all about miracles.'

0:06:51 > 0:06:54I asked Santa to bring me a brother for Christmas.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Santa doesn't make those kinds of deliveries, baby.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh. Can Hakim have lunch with us?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Hakim's grandma might want him around today.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09But he's my best friend!

0:07:09 > 0:07:15Well, maybe she won't miss him for a while. Then we're going downtown.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16OK.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Be careful crossing.- I will.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Look both ways.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Hakim!

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Don't wake his grandma.- Come on!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Hurry up!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30All right!

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Let's play, Jeremiah.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33OK.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Let's build a snowman.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Come on over here.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44# Hold on! Hold on

0:07:44 > 0:07:47# Help is on the way

0:07:47 > 0:07:50# Hold on! Hold on... #

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'm the only help in this house.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Now, that was a lovely sermon.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Even better the second time.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06Ma, please! Don't smoke in the house. You shouldn't smoke at all.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I shouldn't do a lot of things.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Poor Hakim.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Bad enough his mamma ran off, but to leave him with his grandma...

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Bessie Adams can't care for no five-year-old!

0:08:23 > 0:08:26She's two days older than dirt.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30She won't have to. Child welfare's gonna take him.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- What?- They're closing the youth centre today.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35I have to say goodbye to the kids.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40What is his problem?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43There is no problem, Ma.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yeah, and I'm the Queen of the Nile!

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Something's been going on in this house for months.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I can hear your voice on the phone. - Maybe you dialled the wrong number.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Somebody just better get their house in order, that's all I know.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Don't look at me, Ma. - I'm looking at you!

0:09:01 > 0:09:03All right, you can look at me... from behind.

0:09:03 > 0:09:09Girl, don't talk to me about your behind. I gave you that behind!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I don't know why I bother wearing this.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's not doing anyone any good.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17And neither am I.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Lord...

0:09:27 > 0:09:30..I know you're especially busy this time of year,

0:09:30 > 0:09:33but I'm just a little tired.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37If you get a moment, I sure could use some help.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Mine's bigger!- Mine's bigger!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Mine's much bigger!- Mine's bigger!

0:09:47 > 0:09:52Why did you blow snow at me? It's all down my neck!

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Wow!

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Where'd you come from?- Oh-oh!

0:10:03 > 0:10:04You OK?

0:10:05 > 0:10:06No.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Are you OK?

0:10:08 > 0:10:09No!

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Aaaaagh!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Run, Hakim, run!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Wait a...

0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Quick, hurry!- Wait a minute!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18< Hide here.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'm here!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'm here!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Thank you, dear God!

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Thank you!

0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'm here!

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- What's he doing?- Huh?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35HE LAUGHS

0:10:40 > 0:10:41Whoooo!

0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm here!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Ma! It's a snowman!

0:10:46 > 0:10:48A real one!

0:10:48 > 0:10:52'Joe Hamilton is tearing down everything. Why is he doing this?'

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Where do we chill out now? - They want us locked up or shot.

0:10:56 > 0:11:02It just means you got to work that much harder to stay out of trouble.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I'm gonna do my thing. - Stay at peace.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06I'm sorry.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Where are we supposed to go now?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11You did your best, Pastor.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yeah, you tried.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Thank you, son.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Bye.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Take care of yourselves.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- What do you wanna do?- I don't know. - It's too cold to stay out.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Tough break, huh?

0:11:24 > 0:11:29- It seems like they're all tough these days.- You Henry Biggs?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Yes. I'm the pastor at St Matt's.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Bingo!

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Every Friday, eight o'clock.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37My name's Dudley.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Nice to meet you, Dudley.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- You a reporter?- No!

0:11:41 > 0:11:42- Social worker?- No.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm here in answer to your request.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Request?- For help.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Is this some kind of joke?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Er, no. He doesn't make jokes.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56He?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Capital H. Capital E.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08The three of us can help get you through this crisis you're having.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I don't know who you are... - Dudley. I'm Dudley.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- ..or who put you up to this...- He did.- ..but you picked the wrong day

0:12:14 > 0:12:17for me to be a good sport. Will you excuse me?

0:12:17 > 0:12:18Sure.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Thank you.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Wow!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm sorry!

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'll, er...

0:12:27 > 0:12:29..try another approach.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Ho-ho-ho!

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Thank you, sister. Merry Christmas.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39I've been waiting a long time for this.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Yeah?

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Yes, sir.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Mmm...

0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Oh, yeah!- Don't that cheese burn the roof of your mouth?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Hmm?

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Um...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Er, you, er...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00know Reverend Biggs?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Sure. From St Matt's. - That's the one.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Stubborn, huh? Kinda short with people too.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09This man, right here?

0:13:11 > 0:13:16- Not that I know him that well... - He came to the hospital every day

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- after my wife's surgery. - Every day?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- He baptized all five of my kids. - All five?- Give me this.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Wait...- No, get on outta here!

0:13:23 > 0:13:28- I didn't mean...- Get on outta here! - I...- Get outta here! Get outta here!

0:13:28 > 0:13:29And don't come back!

0:13:29 > 0:13:34Mamma, he was there, like he fell from the sky!

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Then he did a dance and jumped around!

0:13:37 > 0:13:42I'm gonna stop giving you sugared cereal, honey. Who's that?

0:13:42 > 0:13:43Santa Claus!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Merry Christmas, Santa.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Thank you, little bro. - Put some money in.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Mmm...

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Mmm!- Thank you, sir.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Merry Christmas.- Same to you, buddy.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Osbert!- Where you been, sister? - How are you...?

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Ohhhh!

0:14:03 > 0:14:04Shhh!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Come on, Jeremiah.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Merry Christmas.- Thank you, brother.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16God bless Mommy, and Daddy, and Grandma, and Hakim. Amen.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19OK, fella, let's get in bed.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Legs under. Thank you.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24All right.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm gonna be sad when he goes.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33We all will.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35We'll all miss Hakim.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Will I have to go live with another family too?

0:14:38 > 0:14:44Of course not, Jeremiah. Of course not.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Get some sleep.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I will if you sing to me.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53All right.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00# Who made the mountains?

0:15:00 > 0:15:05# Who made the trees?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08# Who writes the songs

0:15:08 > 0:15:13# For the robins to sing?

0:15:15 > 0:15:18# And who sends the rain...

0:15:20 > 0:15:25# ..When the earth is dry?

0:15:25 > 0:15:30# Somebody bigger

0:15:30 > 0:15:36# Than you and I. #

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- SLEEPILY:- Leave the door open, please.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45OK, but go to sleep.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Sweet dreams.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51ALARM RINGS

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Get down! Get down...!

0:15:55 > 0:15:57ALARM RINGS

0:15:59 > 0:16:00SCREAMING

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Come on, get in the car!

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Start the car!

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Go, go, go!

0:16:07 > 0:16:10SIRENS WAIL

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Help me! Help me! Look!

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Hey, hey, hey! Calm down!

0:16:17 > 0:16:20They broke my window! That's him! That's one of 'em!

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Freeze!

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- That's him!- Don't shoot!

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Turn around!- That ain't mine! He dropped it, man!

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Against the wall!- I was returning this tape! I live down the street!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- That was you! I saw you break my window!- I was at the ATM!

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Yeah, yeah!

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I got the receipt in my pocket!

0:16:40 > 0:16:45Billy looked so sad. Why did they handcuff him? He's not a criminal.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50Will they give him dinner? He hasn't had anything since lunch.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54He'll just be there overnight. His bail hearing will be tomorrow.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Has he been in trouble before?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Two years ago.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Great(!)- But the judge gave him probation if I found him a job.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- And you did! - I promised I'd straighten him out.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Looks like I didn't do such a good job.- No, he's a different kid now.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Watches the little ones while I work.- He does!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16What will I do if they take him away?

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Don't worry. We'll talk tomorrow. - Thank you.- Saul! Saul!

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Over here!- We don't have to walk!

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Come on, kids.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Let's go. Watch your brother.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31No fingerprints on the windshield, please.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Keep your feet off the seats, too. - Get on, sweetheart.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Feet on the floor!- They are! - Me too!

0:17:38 > 0:17:40King Saul's Charter Service.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43We make jail calls!

0:17:43 > 0:17:44I appreciate it, Saul.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- We all do.- You're a minister, not a social worker.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I'll file a complaint.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52See ya.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Bye, y'all.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Everybody, sit down now, put your seatbelts on.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Anybody get car sick?- I do.- Stick your head out that window, boy!

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Give him your purse, Anna!

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, no!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20ENGINE SPLUTTERS

0:18:20 > 0:18:22HE SIGHS

0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26HE TURNS THE IGNITION AGAIN

0:18:26 > 0:18:27SPLUTTERING

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Come on!

0:18:29 > 0:18:31ENGINE DIES

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Great.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Lord, if you're really up there...

0:18:36 > 0:18:39I need some help.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Henry?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48You again.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Yep.- What do you want from me now?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm supposed to ask YOU that.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Right now, all I want is to put my key in the ignition,

0:18:56 > 0:18:59turn it, and have it...

0:18:57 > 0:18:59ENGINE STARTS

0:19:02 > 0:19:04- What else?- Oh, I suppose you think that you...?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Who are you? Really?

0:19:08 > 0:19:09All right,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13but it might be best if you don't tell anyone else.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13No.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16My name's Dudley, as you remember,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19when I saw you at the youth centre. And...

0:19:19 > 0:19:20I'm an angel.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I beg your pardon?

0:19:24 > 0:19:29An angel. Like in the Bible.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Of course you are!

0:19:29 > 0:19:31The Angel Dudley!

0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Ding!- That must've been that part of the Bible that got lost!

0:19:34 > 0:19:37See, I knew you wouldn't understand. I know it's hard, even for you,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39but angels cannot lie.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43We're not allowed to. It's in the angel handbook. I'll show it to you.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- That's OK.- I'm gonna show you. - It's OK!- I'll show you!- OK.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51Thanks for everything. Say hello to the big guy. And the Easter Bunny!

0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Wait, wait, wait! Can I ex...? - It's freezing!

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Let's get a cab.- Can't afford one.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Can I get in?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Yes. It's cold out. Get in.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05You got a good heart, Henry. You got a good heart.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Are you ready?- Yes.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Don't draw on the window.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Oh, God, I miss this place, Henry.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23I had some wonderful times down here, I tell you.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Oh, I'm not supposed to go into how I...

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Seatbelt, please.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32But as you see, I was cut down in my prime.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yes!

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Ever since then, I've been up there, waiting in line

0:20:37 > 0:20:40for the chance to get sent back down here. It's a long line too.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- You don't say!- I do say.

0:20:42 > 0:20:48You've no idea of the competition to come here. Everybody wants this job.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50- I don't know why He sent me, but I'm glad he did.- Yeah.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- And I'm gonna do everything I can to help you.- Thank you very much.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- I need to go over the rules. - That's not necessary.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It'll only take a second. - All right.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Rule one - we can't do anything that you should be doing.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Well, that makes sense, if I'm doing it, that'd be two of us.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Exactly.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14- Two - everything you do must be of your own free will.- Tough but fair.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Are there many more, cos I really...?- Finally, when I leave,

0:21:17 > 0:21:20when the mission is accomplished, you won't have any memory of me.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23That's my favourite! OK, so I got my rules,

0:21:23 > 0:21:26so where can I drop you?

0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Right here.- OK.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31See you later, Henry.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Oh...

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Wait a minute.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41Look, if you really wanna talk to me, my office is always open.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Make an appointment.- Thank you.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Feel it?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Kinda like springtime

0:21:52 > 0:21:55and Mom's home cooking all rolled into one.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I don't feel a thing.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01You will.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Have faith.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Goodnight, Henry.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Goodnight.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13CHOIR SINGS INSIDE

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- # So you can fight.- So you can fight the good fight... #

0:22:42 > 0:22:44It was the night before Christmas,

0:22:44 > 0:22:49when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a...

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Mouse!

0:22:50 > 0:22:51# ..Say...

0:22:51 > 0:22:55- # Separate you from His love - Lay aside

0:22:55 > 0:22:57# Lay aside every weight... #

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Wait!

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Hold on, hold on. I have an idea. I wanna try something new here.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'm gonna separate the "nothings." Sopranos first...

0:23:06 > 0:23:07Altos, "nothing..."

0:23:07 > 0:23:12- Then tenors, OK?- Julia, we've always done it like this. Why change?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, we're gonna do it a little different tonight.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Is that all right with you?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Let's try it.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20One, two, three...

0:23:20 > 0:23:26- # Let nothing...- Nothing...- Nothing - Separate you from His love. #

0:23:26 > 0:23:30What do you think, Mrs Havergal?

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Acceptable.- Thank you.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33# Put on the

0:23:32 > 0:23:33Whole armour... #

0:23:33 > 0:23:36BOILER CLUNKS

0:23:46 > 0:23:50Some of these ornaments are as old as Methuselah.

0:23:50 > 0:23:56Oh, honey, your years on top of the Christmas tree are over!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Have you been...smoking?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02No, no, I have not!

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Good TV tonight?

0:24:04 > 0:24:09'What do you see? I'll tell you what I see, Sterling Acres,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33you could fry chicken on his smile!

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Hmm!

0:24:33 > 0:24:35He called here tonight.

0:24:35 > 0:24:40There's a meeting at his office at 11. He's got something to show you.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Henry, it's none of my business...

0:24:43 > 0:24:48I'm glad you realise that, Marguerite.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'll be in my office.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Down the chimney, St Nicholas... - What's that?

0:25:11 > 0:25:16# Put off your former conversation Put on the glorious light... #

0:25:18 > 0:25:19The boiler!

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Get your coats!

0:25:24 > 0:25:25EXPLOSION

0:25:29 > 0:25:32What's happening now?

0:25:32 > 0:25:35This is all I need.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Come on. Be careful.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Get everyone out of the building!

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Henry, the boiler!

0:25:43 > 0:25:44I know!

0:25:44 > 0:25:52Hurry up. Button up. Button up.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52All right.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- The devil's in that basement! - I know.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Don't slip.

0:26:00 > 0:26:01Careful, children, careful.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Oh, no!

0:26:03 > 0:26:06No! Look at this!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Oh, no.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16You could've given us one more winter.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Is it open?- Yes, Jeremiah, I left it open. OK?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- OK.- Sleep well.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Goodnight, Mommy.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30What a night.

0:26:30 > 0:26:35I don't wanna think about tomorrow, with the boiler and Hakim leaving.

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Why are they gonna send that boy to a foster home so far away?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I should've called the agency.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47You called half the agencies in the state.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51I know. But maybe the answer was in the other half.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I'm losing them, Julia.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01One by one. Hakim, Saul, Billy...

0:27:02 > 0:27:05..the youth centre.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08I know it's my fault, but I can't seem to...

0:27:08 > 0:27:14Honey, I had some thoughts...

0:27:10 > 0:27:14Can we do this in the morning? I'm beat.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Yeah, the morning's fine.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Goodnight, Julia.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yoo-hoo! Morning!

0:27:37 > 0:27:40I brought the mail in.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Anybody wanna open it?

0:27:44 > 0:27:50Oh. Well, I'll just take my coat off and bring it into the office then.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54I know things have been tough here, and that's my fault.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58But everything will be all right.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58PHONE RINGS

0:27:58 > 0:28:00I got it.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Hello? ..Who?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04If only saying it made it all right.

0:28:04 > 0:28:09If you listened, you'd hear an apology! A small one, but a start.

0:28:09 > 0:28:15I heard, "How can I deal with this fast enough to get on with my day?"

0:28:15 > 0:28:18- That's not fair. - It's not?- That is not fair.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22I'm trying to listen!

0:28:19 > 0:28:22..Yeah, I'll give him the message.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Mamma knows too much of our business.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30Billy's bail hearing's been scheduled for 9.30.

0:28:30 > 0:28:339.30?! We'll talk later, I promise.

0:28:33 > 0:28:38- Will you come home after? - Not right after.- Meeting at 11.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Joe Hamilton.- Do you mind?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Oh, Henry...

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Do I look like I mind?

0:28:50 > 0:28:53You ready to talk about this, little girl?

0:28:53 > 0:28:59I don't know what you mean, Momma. Things are looking up for us.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01There goes that behind again.

0:29:01 > 0:29:07# I know He's keeping me alive Keeping me alive

0:29:07 > 0:29:10# He's all over me

0:29:10 > 0:29:14# And he's keeping me alive Oh, yeah

0:29:14 > 0:29:16# He's all over me

0:29:16 > 0:29:18# Oooh, keeping me alive

0:29:18 > 0:29:21# Yeah, He's all over me

0:29:21 > 0:29:23# He's... #

0:29:23 > 0:29:24Ohhh!

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31I didn't hear you. You want the pastor?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Yes. I'm Dudley.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Beverly.- How are you?

0:29:33 > 0:29:37- The pastor's secretary.- Pleasure. - He went to court.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41These your children?

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Yeah, that's them. - They're beautiful!

0:29:44 > 0:29:51Did your husband take the picture?

0:29:46 > 0:29:51Mmm. Then he took the car, a diner waitress, and moved to Cleveland.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I'm sorry. - Do you have children?

0:29:54 > 0:29:59No. I never had a chance to settle down. I wanted to.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04- Agh!- You smell wonderful. What do you call that?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Soap!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08I haven't smelled a woman in such a long time.

0:30:08 > 0:30:15I'll get you a bar for Christmas!

0:30:10 > 0:30:15- Do you have an appointment? - No, not exactly.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19I was...sent to help the reverend. Like an assistant.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Assistant?

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I haven't heard about no...

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Oh, my Lord, am I getting fired?

0:30:24 > 0:30:29No, no, it's just temporary.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29I heard nothing about no temporary!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Oh, God...- Look, let me get you some coffee.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34You made coffee on that machine?

0:30:34 > 0:30:38I've been trying for six weeks to figure out that machine!

0:30:38 > 0:30:40My babies need new glasses and I'm out of a job!

0:30:40 > 0:30:45My kids are growing like weeds! I get nothing from him in Cleveland!

0:30:45 > 0:30:48I can't take this, being fired!

0:30:48 > 0:30:52There's nothing to worry about.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Oooh! Oooh!

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Look at you crying. Here, blow.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Oh! I knew that.

0:31:16 > 0:31:17But your Honour...

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Your Honour, may I address the court?

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Next case.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24He didn't do it!

0:31:24 > 0:31:2725,000? What am I gonna do?

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Clear the court.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31I'll take care of it.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Hey, guys!

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Hakim, you remember Robbie?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31You get to ride in a train today.

0:32:31 > 0:32:32Wow!

0:32:33 > 0:32:34A train ride!

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- We're running a little late.- OK.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10so you can send him letters.

0:33:22 > 0:33:23Bye.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45I know you have a master plan...

0:33:47 > 0:33:50..but sometimes, you're just a little tough to figure.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Jeremiah... Jeremiah!

0:33:54 > 0:33:57It's not fair!

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Hakim left.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06HE SOBS

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- BEVERLY:- Julia?

0:34:11 > 0:34:14This is Dudley, the reverend's new assistant.

0:34:14 > 0:34:20We asked the church council months ago for extra help.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Well, the extra help is here!

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Oooh!

0:34:23 > 0:34:26He didn't say anything about getting a response. Who sent you?

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Er, the, er...

0:34:28 > 0:34:31The top man himself, Mrs Biggs.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Julia.- Julia.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Ahem!

0:34:34 > 0:34:39And this is Julia's mother, Mrs Coleman.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41< Of course it is!

0:34:41 > 0:34:45Well, it's obvious where Julia's beauty comes from.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Ohhh! And me with my hair looking like this.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Oh no, it looks magnificent.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55- Thank you!- Well, Mr...

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Call me Dudley.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57- You're very welcome here. - Thank you.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Excuse us.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Mom, what're you doing?

0:35:03 > 0:35:05That's what I call good-looking!

0:35:05 > 0:35:11Your daddy looked like that back in 19...

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Ma, I've heard it a hundred times.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16Maybe with him around, you'll have time to deal with your own problems.

0:35:16 > 0:35:21- Only the Lord can do that. - You don't mean that.- I do.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Ma!

0:35:22 > 0:35:27I was gonna go over by the window, Julia. There's too many rules here.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Ah! You're the man in the street, and in the snow and...

0:35:44 > 0:35:48My name's Dudley, and I'm here to help your father.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'm Jeremiah.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Nice to meet you, Jeremiah.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54You got a real nice room here.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Thank you.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Wow, you got a lotta neat stuff in here.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01And what is this?

0:36:01 > 0:36:03My toy ambulance is broken.

0:36:03 > 0:36:10The battery got stole. The lights don't work any more.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Is that right?

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Let's see what I can do here.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14SIREN WAILS

0:36:14 > 0:36:17It never had a siren!

0:36:17 > 0:36:19SIREN STOPS

0:36:19 > 0:36:22It never had a siren?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24No.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31You look sad, Jeremiah.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Have you been crying?

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Yes.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39I'm sorry about Hakim.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47What if I told you that he's not really gone?

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Hakim? Did he run away and come back?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- No, he never left.- Yes, he did.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55I saw him go.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59Well, you know...

0:36:59 > 0:37:05my mother once lost someone who was very dear to her.

0:37:05 > 0:37:09He wasn't as young as Hakim, but he was too young just the same.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13She would always do something that made her feel better.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16- You wanna try it?- Yeah.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18All right, close your eyes.

0:37:18 > 0:37:23Do you remember playing in the snow with Hakim?

0:37:24 > 0:37:28Do you remember... what his laugh sounded like?

0:37:28 > 0:37:29Yeah.

0:37:29 > 0:37:34Do you remember...what he looked like catching a ball?

0:37:34 > 0:37:37He never caught a ball in his life.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39But I remember.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43That's because when God takes someone away from us,

0:37:43 > 0:37:48he leaves what's most important about that person with us.

0:37:48 > 0:37:54Right here in our hearts.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Yeah, but I still miss him.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Well, she still misses him too.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Are you all right?

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Maybe you should close YOUR eyes.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11Mommy says I can write him.

0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Know how to spell his name? - No.- Wanna learn?

0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Yeah!- All right. Hakim.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20Starts with an H...

0:38:17 > 0:38:20And ends with, "akim "!

0:38:20 > 0:38:22There you go. Perfect.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Wow!

0:38:28 > 0:38:32Fishies in a TV!

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Windows...

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Henry?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I know I said make an appointment,

0:39:13 > 0:39:18but I didn't say anything about filling out any form!

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Beverly?

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Beverly, I need you.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I gave her the day off for Christmas shopping.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31You gave MY secretary the day...?

0:39:31 > 0:39:37She needed time for her kids, and I needed time to do my job with you.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40What job? What are you doing here?

0:39:40 > 0:39:45Henry, I told you, I'm answering your request for help. And Julia's.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49And forget the boiler. You got more important problems...

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Ah, here she is now.

0:39:51 > 0:39:52< Henry?

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- MARGUERITE: - Whooo! Lord have mercy!

0:39:55 > 0:40:00Honey, remind me - the next time I visit, I wanna get paid!

0:40:00 > 0:40:01OK?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Hi, Dudley.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Julia.- Dudley.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07D-U-D-L-E-Y.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09- Perfect.- Very good!- Perfect.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Honey, what happened with Billy Eldridge?

0:40:13 > 0:40:15The judge set bail at 25,000.

0:40:15 > 0:40:20That child's still in jail?

0:40:17 > 0:40:20I did what I could!

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Ahem!

0:40:20 > 0:40:24Come on, sweetie, we have a nativity play to rehearse.

0:40:24 > 0:40:29- It's freezing in there!- I'll be chasing 15 kids. I won't get cold.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Then you're taking your son shopping, remember?- Henry?- Huh?

0:40:33 > 0:40:38Your wife's talking to you.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38Oh, yes. Er... Hanley's, one o'clock.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Spell Hakim for me, baby.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42M-I-K-A-H.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46Dudley's teaching ME to spell backwards.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51- Maybe he can teach Daddy to be on time?- These are perfect!

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Beverly never typed a perfect letter in her life!

0:40:54 > 0:40:58Yeah, I did those myself, once I figured out that fish typewriter.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Look, Dud, I do not appreciate some stranger coming in to my office and...

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Angels are hardly strangers, Henry. And don't call me Dud.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09- Julia, wait for me! - We're having a little meeting.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12You understand.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15Bye, Marguerite!

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Bye, Dudley!

0:41:15 > 0:41:19You are not telling my family this ridiculous story!

0:41:19 > 0:41:24- No, they think the church council sent me.- The church council!

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Let's continue this on our way to the meeting with Joe Hamilton.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31The meeting!

0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Which floor is it on? - I'm not telling you.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Henry, what's the floor?- Go away!

0:41:35 > 0:41:39- You asked for help.- Not from you! I don't need you anywhere. You understand?

0:41:39 > 0:41:44You didn't have to let the doors close on me, Henry. That was cold.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46I figured you'd just FLY up.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50If you're really a you-know-what, where are your wings?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Caught up in stereotypes, Henry. That's your problem.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54Hello, Reverend.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57That's a beautiful dress. Magnificent.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Why, thank you!

0:41:59 > 0:42:02You're very welcome.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02SHE GIGGLES

0:42:02 > 0:42:04Is Mr Hamilton inside?

0:42:04 > 0:42:12He's taping a TV commercial. You can wait in his office.

0:42:08 > 0:42:12- Thank you.- Thanks.- You're welcome.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15PHONE RINGS

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Hamilton Realty?

0:42:15 > 0:42:20Hi, Amy. You know that dress from Mom's closet? It's back in style!

0:42:21 > 0:42:25"That's a lovely dress!"

0:42:23 > 0:42:25It was. You gotta admit it.

0:42:25 > 0:42:30What kind of angel talks like that?

0:42:27 > 0:42:30The kind of angel with good taste.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32You're still not going in here.

0:42:32 > 0:42:36Henry, I'm like this with the creator of the entire universe.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39- You don't think a little door's gonna stop me?- Yes!- How?

0:42:39 > 0:42:41How?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Rule number two.

0:42:45 > 0:42:50Fine, Henry. Can't make you do anything you don't wanna do.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53That's right! I always liked that rule.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57You liked that smile at the end?

0:42:57 > 0:43:00- I loved it!- The tilt of my head to the side.- I loved it!

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Henry Biggs!- Joe. - How're you doing?

0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Julia's good?- Very good.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09This is Debbie Page, station manager at WRKO.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11They're televising your Christmas sermon.

0:43:11 > 0:43:14We need your text for the teleprompter.

0:43:14 > 0:43:19- Later. Come on. Wait till you see where you're moving to.- What?

0:43:19 > 0:43:21A planned community. Your son can cycle to school.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Throw your stuff on there.

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Make yourself at home.

0:43:27 > 0:43:28- Mary?- Henry.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31- Osbert, what're you doing here? - Well, I...

0:43:31 > 0:43:35We... We came to check out, same as you, Henry.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- Saul?- Um...

0:43:37 > 0:43:41- Listen to the man, Henry. It makes sense.- Of course it makes sense.

0:43:41 > 0:43:45That's what it'll look like when it's done. What do you think, Henry?

0:43:45 > 0:43:48- Isn't that nice? - It's a new city landmark.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51A whole new neighbourhood. A different clientele, so to speak.

0:43:51 > 0:43:56I'm hoping we can persuade you to move into the new world, Henry.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Well...

0:43:58 > 0:44:03All we need is a working boiler and we'll be fine in the world we're in.

0:44:03 > 0:44:04LAUGHTER

0:44:04 > 0:44:07New boiler! Henry, look at this.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09Daycare facilities.

0:44:09 > 0:44:10We need that.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13We could sure use that!

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Senior citizens' club.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17It's much better than ours.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19What I'm offering you here, Henry -

0:44:19 > 0:44:23TV cameras and lighting built right in -

0:44:23 > 0:44:26It's a pulpit to preach to the world.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28Isn't that beautiful?

0:44:28 > 0:44:31All you have to say is... "I'll do it."

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Say it. Say, "Yeah." Say it.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38All right.

0:44:38 > 0:44:43Look, say yes, and I'll throw in that new boiler you need.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46I'll stop St Matt's from freezing over Christmas

0:44:46 > 0:44:52if that's the price I have to pay to get you.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52- If I accept, what price am- I- paying?

0:44:52 > 0:44:57Henry, what you see there is the answer to all your problems.

0:44:57 > 0:45:00- That's right.- Isn't it?

0:45:01 > 0:45:05I need my magi. We'll start from the magi's entrance.

0:45:05 > 0:45:10What does the sheep say in this play?

0:45:08 > 0:45:10- Baaaa.- Ah.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13Everybody know their parts?

0:45:13 > 0:45:15What's my part?

0:45:15 > 0:45:17Your part? You're a camel.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21- I need my shepherds. - I'm a shepherd.- Over here.

0:45:21 > 0:45:22Come on.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24Wait for me!

0:45:24 > 0:45:29Kick it, Mrs Havergal. Jeremiah, get in your place.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36# Mommies and daddies

0:45:36 > 0:45:41# Always believe

0:45:41 > 0:45:45# That their little angels

0:45:45 > 0:45:49# Are special indeed

0:45:49 > 0:45:52# And you could grow up

0:45:52 > 0:45:58# To be anything

0:45:58 > 0:46:04# But who would imagine a king? #

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Everybody.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09# It was so clear

0:46:09 > 0:46:13# When the Wise Men arrived... #

0:46:13 > 0:46:15- The donkey's on this side.- Sorry.

0:46:15 > 0:46:21# ..And the angels were singing your name

0:46:21 > 0:46:25# That the world would be different

0:46:25 > 0:46:29# Cos you were alive

0:46:29 > 0:46:33# That's when heaven stood still

0:46:33 > 0:46:36# To proclaim... #

0:46:36 > 0:46:37Come on, Jessica.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41- # One day, an angel... # - Look at your baby. Smile.

0:46:41 > 0:46:45# ..Said quietly

0:46:45 > 0:46:53# That soon he would bring something special to me

0:46:53 > 0:46:58# And of all of the wonderful

0:46:58 > 0:47:03# Gifts he could bring

0:47:03 > 0:47:07# Who would imagine...

0:47:07 > 0:47:11# A king? #

0:47:11 > 0:47:14Ah, sweet.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Yeah.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21- Again!- All right.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23You take this one solo, OK?

0:47:23 > 0:47:26- Comet's winning!- All right.

0:47:26 > 0:47:28- Look at that.- Beautiful, isn't it?

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Sure is.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34Go in and try it on.

0:47:34 > 0:47:38We're supposed to be shopping for Henry, remember?

0:47:38 > 0:47:43You with that nightgown on is all the gift Henry would want.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45- Trust me.- A gift from Jeremiah.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Oh!

0:47:49 > 0:47:53- How long he's gonna be with that snake?- He'll be along soon.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56How did you two meet anyway?

0:47:57 > 0:48:00We were in adjoining strollers,

0:48:00 > 0:48:05and one day I took his pacifier, and he made a big noise about it.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Who wouldn't?

0:48:07 > 0:48:10- When he was ten, he started wearing suits to school.- What?

0:48:10 > 0:48:12Trying to impress me.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Obviously, it worked.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16He'd walk me home...

0:48:16 > 0:48:20and I always thought he was cuter without his glasses.

0:48:20 > 0:48:21So, one day he took them off for me.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25He slipped on the ice and fell right on his fanny!

0:48:25 > 0:48:28Sounds like love to me.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Daddy said we were born friends.

0:48:33 > 0:48:38He did a lot for Henry, your father.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38He was the best.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41Mommy, enough!

0:48:43 > 0:48:45Is it good, Dudley?

0:48:45 > 0:48:46Mmm! Great!

0:48:46 > 0:48:48How's your food, Jeremiah?

0:48:48 > 0:48:50< Julia!

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Henry!

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Jeremiah.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55Dudley.

0:48:55 > 0:48:56Henry.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58OK, Jer, let's go shopping.

0:48:58 > 0:49:01- Wait, what happened? - I'll tell you later.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Henry, it IS later.

0:49:03 > 0:49:07An hour later than when you were supposed to be here! What happened?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09- Long story.- You two need to talk.

0:49:09 > 0:49:14I can take him shopping. I'm an excellent gift consultant.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16Yes, Dudley! I want Dudley!

0:49:16 > 0:49:18I wanted to take him shopping!

0:49:18 > 0:49:20You two have things to talk about.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22Dudley! Dudley! Dudley!

0:49:22 > 0:49:26We'll be right across the street at the toy store, OK?

0:49:26 > 0:49:27Julia!

0:49:27 > 0:49:29- Dudley! Dudley!- Put your hat on!

0:49:29 > 0:49:31Dudley! Dudley!

0:49:31 > 0:49:36- Who're we shopping for?- Grandma. She wants a little ashtray.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39- Mom took all her old ones. - Let's get something for Hakim.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41So, what happened?

0:49:45 > 0:49:46Julia...

0:49:51 > 0:49:52I've...

0:49:52 > 0:49:56I've decided to accept Joe Hamilton's offer.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Julia, did you hear me?

0:50:02 > 0:50:06- I heard you. I just can't believe what I've heard.- Let me explain...

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Can I get you anything?

0:50:08 > 0:50:10No, thank you.

0:50:13 > 0:50:18- Saul was there, Mary, Andy and Osbert.- What were they doing there?

0:50:18 > 0:50:22Every one of them was begging me, arguing with me, blackmailing me!

0:50:22 > 0:50:25- Blackmail?!- They're gonna put in a new boiler tomorrow.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28- He bought you for a boiler!- Julia!

0:50:30 > 0:50:33Sorry. Sorry. Excuse us. ..Of course not!

0:50:33 > 0:50:36Julia, let me show you something.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38Julia? Julia?

0:50:38 > 0:50:41He is building the most beautiful church.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Daycare centre. Youth centre.

0:50:43 > 0:50:50- He's building a shrine to himself! - Eight years, Julia.

0:50:46 > 0:50:50And what do I have to show for it?

0:50:50 > 0:50:54So you give up our lives without even talking to me?

0:50:54 > 0:50:59- This solves our problems. Can't you see that?- My father trusted you with St Matt's,

0:50:59 > 0:51:03- how dare you walk out on it like this!- All right, your father was a saint, and I'm not!

0:51:03 > 0:51:06But I'm here, Julia, and he isn't!

0:51:09 > 0:51:14I'm sorry, Julia.

0:51:10 > 0:51:14Give me the car keys, Henry.

0:51:14 > 0:51:15Julia!

0:51:16 > 0:51:19- Julia, please sit down. - Give me the keys, Henry.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22Would you kindly give her the keys? I have customers.

0:51:22 > 0:51:23Sorry.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Julia, please listen to me.

0:51:27 > 0:51:32I can't. I don't even know who you are any more.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32Julia!

0:51:34 > 0:51:36'Come on, Jeremiah. We're leaving.'

0:51:36 > 0:51:39I got Daddy's present.

0:51:39 > 0:51:44And I bought a fire engine for Hakim. It was on sale.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46That's wonderful, honey.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53< All right.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56You're gonna have to support him, Julia.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59You hear me? Now is when he needs you most.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Momma, I can't support what's wrong.

0:52:01 > 0:52:08Preaching God's word is never wrong, wherever you do it from.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08He didn't even discuss it with me.

0:52:08 > 0:52:12Daddy wouldn't have made a decision like that without asking you.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Sure he would.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17He kept things from me all the time, especially church business.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21- It was different in those days. - Those days?

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Child, men ain't changed since Adam.

0:52:23 > 0:52:28He gave up a rib just so he could have someone to keep things from.

0:52:32 > 0:52:36You know, getting angry at a dead tree is not gonna help.

0:52:36 > 0:52:40But it wouldn't look good to punch out a pastor either.

0:52:40 > 0:52:44No, you don't... you don't mean that.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47- You know you love him. - He knows it too. That's the problem.

0:52:47 > 0:52:51He knows I'll always be there, just like a pet.

0:52:51 > 0:52:52Ouch!

0:52:52 > 0:52:56See? God doesn't like ugly. Let me see.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Have you ever had your palm read?

0:53:03 > 0:53:04OK.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14I see a beautiful woman with a good heart,

0:53:14 > 0:53:19who only has to open her eyes to realise that all she ever wanted...

0:53:19 > 0:53:22she already has.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25You didn't even look at my hand.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28But I held it.

0:53:28 > 0:53:31Do you see Henry and me?

0:53:31 > 0:53:33Mmm...

0:53:33 > 0:53:34Let's see...

0:53:36 > 0:53:37Ow! Ow!

0:53:37 > 0:53:40That's so hot I had to let it go!

0:53:40 > 0:53:42You must be talking about my past!

0:53:42 > 0:53:44You forgot this.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47Every fire dies sometime, Dudley.

0:53:47 > 0:53:54What do you do when you have to decide if the memory is enough?

0:53:51 > 0:53:54- What do you do?- Yeah.

0:53:54 > 0:53:55What you do, is you...

0:53:55 > 0:53:59- You go dancing, that's what you do. - Dancing?- Yes.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02You're gonna go dancing. Put on a beautiful dress,

0:54:02 > 0:54:05- make Henry break out the cologne. - My husband hasn't taken me out in...

0:54:05 > 0:54:07Far too long! That's my point.

0:54:07 > 0:54:12But tonight will be different. You're gonna strike a match.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15No, not a match, a firecracker. You'll see.

0:54:18 > 0:54:23Take your coat off and go upstairs, and you take your wife out dancing.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Can't do it. Not tonight.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Henry, you and Julia need this.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32And Mr Kingman needs me at the hospital. The seniors need blankets.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35- You're only one man, Henry. - Things don't get fixed

0:54:35 > 0:54:38- waiting for the next guy to do it.- Including marriages.

0:54:38 > 0:54:43- Dudley!- Henry!- You already told her, didn't you?

0:54:43 > 0:54:44Well...

0:54:44 > 0:54:48She's getting dressed right now and once again, I'm the bad guy!

0:54:48 > 0:54:51- Not if you go.- Dudley! - What? I'm just trying to help.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53You're just trying to help!

0:54:53 > 0:54:56All right, you can help. By taking her.

0:54:56 > 0:55:00- Me?- Yes, you.- You're missing the point, Henry.- No, no, no.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05The point is... Mr Kingman won't wait.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07You go. Tell me all about it later.

0:55:07 > 0:55:11And you make sure you tell her I'm sorry.

0:55:11 > 0:55:13Oh, Henry!

0:55:13 > 0:55:14Henry!

0:55:14 > 0:55:18Not too late. And no drinking.

0:55:18 > 0:55:21It's not supposed to go like this.

0:55:21 > 0:55:24- Goodnight, Mommy.- OK, goodnight.

0:55:24 > 0:55:29- MARGUERITE:- I'll give him a hot bath, then we'll play Monopoly.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31For REAL money!

0:55:31 > 0:55:32Yey!

0:55:32 > 0:55:36(How do I look?)

0:55:36 > 0:55:37Uh...?

0:55:37 > 0:55:39Oh, my!

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Henry?

0:55:42 > 0:55:44Henry?

0:55:45 > 0:55:46Henry ?

0:55:48 > 0:55:50Where's Henry?

0:55:50 > 0:55:52He said he's sorry.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54He's sorry?

0:55:54 > 0:55:58Yeah, he, er, had to go. One of the congregation is in the hospital.

0:55:58 > 0:55:59Mr Kingman.

0:55:59 > 0:56:03Oh, yeah. He's been sick a long time.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05I'll call his wife tomorrow.

0:56:08 > 0:56:10Look, Julia...

0:56:11 > 0:56:16..he suggested that I...pinch-hit for him, if that's...OK with you.

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Hmm?

0:56:20 > 0:56:23Welcome to Jazzie's. Come on in.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25Thanks.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Hi, brother.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48Nice, huh?

0:56:48 > 0:56:51Dancing. Do you dance? I bet you're a good dancer.

0:56:51 > 0:56:54It's been a long time.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56You wanna dance?

0:56:56 > 0:56:58Why not?

0:56:58 > 0:57:01- All right.- We'll give it a shot.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04- Bust a move!- Bust a move!

0:57:05 > 0:57:07LIVELY JAZZ NUMBER

0:57:11 > 0:57:15It doesn't seem like we're dancing right for this music.

0:57:20 > 0:57:22Oh, yeah.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25Yeah, I see what you mean.

0:57:29 > 0:57:30Uh! Oh!

0:57:34 > 0:57:36Oh, my!

0:57:36 > 0:57:37Ah!

0:57:37 > 0:57:39Oooh, hit it!

0:57:55 > 0:57:57- What's that one?- The Popeye!

0:57:57 > 0:57:58- The Popeye?- Yeah.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00OK.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02It's coming back now!

0:58:02 > 0:58:03I guess.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08You get out as much as I do!

0:58:08 > 0:58:10Less! Even less!

0:58:14 > 0:58:15Swimming?

0:58:15 > 0:58:17Yeah, backstroking!

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Julia!

0:58:22 > 0:58:25- Bristloe! - How're you doing, sweet thing?

0:58:25 > 0:58:27Oh, my Lord!

0:58:27 > 0:58:30- You were working in Paris.- I was, but I've been back a while.

0:58:30 > 0:58:32You and Henry don't come by here much any more.

0:58:32 > 0:58:37- Henry's real busy. But it's great to see you.- You too! How're you doing?

0:58:37 > 0:58:39I'm OK. I'm OK.

0:58:39 > 0:58:42Dudley, Bristloe. Bristloe, Dudley.

0:58:42 > 0:58:43How're you doing?

0:58:43 > 0:58:45Pleasure.

0:58:45 > 0:58:50If Henry hadn't helped with that ticket, I'd never have got to Paris.

0:58:50 > 0:58:55- I owe that man everything.- Call him. - I will.- He'd love to hear from you.

0:58:55 > 0:58:59Why don't we all just sit down and...visit?

0:58:59 > 0:59:00There.

0:59:05 > 0:59:07OK.

0:59:08 > 0:59:12So, Bristloe, are you and Maxine still together?

0:59:12 > 0:59:17You bet! She calls six times a day to make sure I'm being a good boy.

0:59:17 > 0:59:19Fine woman, Maxine.

0:59:19 > 0:59:20Are you married, Dudley?

0:59:20 > 0:59:26No. I've never been lucky enough to meet someone like Maxine. Or Julia.

0:59:26 > 0:59:31Ain't that the truth? This little girl used to come by every night.

0:59:31 > 0:59:33- You used to come in here?- Sure.

0:59:33 > 0:59:37Henry proposed to me right over there. In that booth.

0:59:37 > 0:59:40- Get outta here! Right over there? - That's right.

0:59:40 > 0:59:44- Good old days.- Sure were. - Couldn't squeeze a dime between 'em.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47She'd go on stage and torch the place down.

0:59:47 > 0:59:49- Get outta here!- Now, she just...

0:59:49 > 0:59:51sings for the Lord.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54Not that that's bad.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56No, no, that's good.

0:59:56 > 1:00:01You wanna know what loving sounds like? That secret's in her voice.

1:00:01 > 1:00:02Oh, Bristloe!

1:00:02 > 1:00:07- Why not share that secret with us? - Come on, remind us.- No, no.

1:00:07 > 1:00:08It's been years. A long time.

1:00:08 > 1:00:12- You still do it in B? - No, I don't do it at all!

1:00:12 > 1:00:14I'd like to know what love really sounds like.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17- That solves that problem.- Bristloe!

1:00:17 > 1:00:20- I don't remember the song. - Not another word!

1:00:20 > 1:00:23- I don't...- No, no, I want to hear you sing.

1:00:23 > 1:00:25You sang it for Henry all the time.

1:00:25 > 1:00:27No, I should be going home.

1:00:27 > 1:00:30We'll play this in B. Follow me.

1:00:30 > 1:00:31OK.

1:00:31 > 1:00:34Go on over there. Go on.

1:00:34 > 1:00:36DUDLEY CLAPS

1:00:36 > 1:00:38Go on. Sing it for Henry.

1:00:43 > 1:00:44No.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47No.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52Here we go.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59# I believe in you and me

1:01:00 > 1:01:04# I believe that we will be

1:01:04 > 1:01:09# In love eternally

1:01:09 > 1:01:12# Well, as far as I can see

1:01:13 > 1:01:17# You will always be the one...

1:01:20 > 1:01:22# ..For me

1:01:23 > 1:01:26# Oh, yes, you will

1:01:27 > 1:01:31# I believe in dreams again

1:01:31 > 1:01:36# I believe that love will never end

1:01:36 > 1:01:42# And like the river finds the sea

1:01:42 > 1:01:45# I was lost

1:01:46 > 1:01:51# Now, I'm free

1:01:51 > 1:01:56# Cos I believe in you and me

1:01:56 > 1:01:58# Oh

1:01:58 > 1:02:03# Well, maybe I'm a fool

1:02:03 > 1:02:06# To feel the way I do

1:02:06 > 1:02:10# But I will play the fool forever

1:02:10 > 1:02:17# Just to be with you forever

1:02:17 > 1:02:20# I believe in miracles

1:02:20 > 1:02:25# And love's a miracle

1:02:25 > 1:02:33# And, yes, baby you're a dream come true. I...

1:02:33 > 1:02:36# ..Was lost

1:02:36 > 1:02:40# Now, I'm free

1:02:40 > 1:02:48# Oh, darling I believe in you and me

1:02:48 > 1:02:52# See, I was lost

1:02:52 > 1:02:57# Now, I'm free

1:02:57 > 1:03:01# Cos I believe in you...

1:03:01 > 1:03:08# ..And me

1:03:08 > 1:03:10# Ooooh

1:03:12 > 1:03:15# Oh, yes, I do I believe in you and...

1:03:17 > 1:03:22# ..Me. #

1:03:31 > 1:03:33Thank you. Thank you very much.

1:03:36 > 1:03:38You're bad!

1:03:38 > 1:03:41One for you.

1:03:41 > 1:03:43One for me.

1:03:43 > 1:03:46And one for the tree.

1:03:46 > 1:03:47Thank you.

1:03:47 > 1:03:52- I got your Christmas present. - You did? What did you get?

1:03:52 > 1:03:55I can't tell you. It's a secret.

1:03:55 > 1:03:57What are you getting Mom for Christmas?

1:03:57 > 1:03:59I don't know. What do you think I should get her?

1:03:59 > 1:04:02I think she'd like to go to bed.

1:04:04 > 1:04:06Excuse me, young man?

1:04:06 > 1:04:10She was looking at a nightie in the store window with Dudley.

1:04:10 > 1:04:13- Was she now?- Come on, young man. Sleep time.

1:04:13 > 1:04:17If you wait for Momma to get home, you'll be too big for the bed.

1:04:17 > 1:04:22Get some Vicks on your chest. See if we can get rid of that stuffy nose.

1:04:22 > 1:04:27- You were born with a stuffy nose! - Night, Daddy.- Goodnight, son.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33JULIA LAUGHS

1:04:33 > 1:04:36- Thank you.- Have a good evening. - Thank you.

1:04:36 > 1:04:40- Did you have a good time? - I had a great time. And you?

1:04:40 > 1:04:43I had a ball. You're not such a bad dancer.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46- I haven't had so much fun in a long time.- I did too.

1:04:46 > 1:04:49- I heard you singing. - I wanted to get up there with you.

1:04:49 > 1:04:52- I'm so glad you didn't! - # I believe in miracles... #

1:04:52 > 1:04:53Shh. They're asleep.

1:04:53 > 1:04:55Not all of us.

1:04:55 > 1:04:56Henry!

1:04:56 > 1:04:58Dudley.

1:04:58 > 1:05:01I guess I don't have to ask if you had a good time.

1:05:01 > 1:05:04We did. We went to Jazzie's.

1:05:04 > 1:05:07Some of the old band was there.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10You've been in Jazzie's?

1:05:10 > 1:05:12Yeah. Bristloe was there too.

1:05:12 > 1:05:15And your wife got on stage. You...

1:05:15 > 1:05:18Wait! You went singing at Jazzie's all night?

1:05:18 > 1:05:22- You said to take her out. - Not to the place where I proposed!

1:05:22 > 1:05:26Henry, we had fun. Remember what that used to be?

1:05:26 > 1:05:28But, honey...

1:05:28 > 1:05:29Jazzie's?

1:05:29 > 1:05:34Maybe I sang there because I won't be singing at a Joe Hamilton church,

1:05:34 > 1:05:37wherever that may be.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39Thanks, Dudley.

1:05:39 > 1:05:40Goodnight, Julia.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47- She had a good time, Henry. - Really?- Yeah.

1:05:47 > 1:05:51Yeah. She told me about how you proposed. She showed me the booth.

1:05:51 > 1:05:55The booth?! I don't believe this entire situation!

1:05:55 > 1:05:59No, you don't. That's your trouble right there.

1:05:59 > 1:06:04You don't believe in much of anything any more, do you, Henry?

1:06:04 > 1:06:07You don't believe in me or yourself.

1:06:07 > 1:06:10You don't believe you can make a difference.

1:06:10 > 1:06:15You don't even believe that Billy Eldridge is innocent.

1:06:12 > 1:06:15Billy? Of course I do!

1:06:15 > 1:06:19- You don't sound very convincing. - Look, I tried to help him before!

1:06:19 > 1:06:21- Did you?- Yes!

1:06:21 > 1:06:24And besides, he doesn't even go to church.

1:06:24 > 1:06:30Have you tried looking him in the eye, asking him to tell the truth?

1:06:26 > 1:06:30No! You know why?

1:06:30 > 1:06:34I guess I was just too busy having fun!

1:06:34 > 1:06:37That's your problem, you're just too busy.

1:06:37 > 1:06:41Your wife feels like she's in a marriage by herself.

1:06:41 > 1:06:44Your son lost his best friend. What are you doing?

1:06:44 > 1:06:46You don't have to listen to me. You're right.

1:06:48 > 1:06:50But you ought to listen to them.

1:06:50 > 1:06:55- MARGUERITE:- Come on, everybody. Time to make the Christmas baskets.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01Aren't you gonna help?

1:07:01 > 1:07:03I miss Hakim.

1:07:05 > 1:07:07I know.

1:07:07 > 1:07:11But a lot of people are depending on us for those baskets.

1:07:11 > 1:07:13What do you think?

1:07:13 > 1:07:16- OK, then.- All right.

1:07:18 > 1:07:20Gym socks.

1:07:20 > 1:07:24Nothing says, Merry Christmas like gym socks!

1:07:29 > 1:07:30Ah!

1:07:32 > 1:07:34Er, Billy.

1:07:34 > 1:07:37Er, here.

1:07:38 > 1:07:40Thank you.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43Billy, I need to talk to you.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46You're wasting your time, you know that?

1:07:46 > 1:07:49The grand jury's about to indict me.

1:07:51 > 1:07:54You ever pray, son?

1:07:54 > 1:07:56Oh, yeah. Yeah, right.

1:07:56 > 1:07:58You're too hip for that. OK.

1:07:59 > 1:08:01You play ball?

1:08:01 > 1:08:02Yeah.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04When you play basketball,

1:08:04 > 1:08:09don't you hope that when you shoot the ball, it'll go into the net?

1:08:09 > 1:08:13- Yeah. - Well, that's all prayer is - hope.

1:08:13 > 1:08:18And helping to give people hope is what I do.

1:08:18 > 1:08:22What's the point? No-one believes me anyway!

1:08:23 > 1:08:24Billy...

1:08:28 > 1:08:30Look at me, son.

1:08:32 > 1:08:35- Were you a part of this, or not? - I swear, Rev...

1:08:35 > 1:08:40It was just like I said. I messed up before, but this is the truth.

1:08:58 > 1:09:02When was the last time you said a prayer, Billy?

1:09:02 > 1:09:05- I don't know.- Well...

1:09:05 > 1:09:07I think it's about time you gave it a try.

1:09:10 > 1:09:13- What's the status of this case...? - Morning, Judge! Beautiful day!

1:09:13 > 1:09:17Reverend, this is not a playground, it is a court of law.

1:09:17 > 1:09:20- I don't have time to... - I work for an even higher court,

1:09:20 > 1:09:22and I'm finding the time.

1:09:22 > 1:09:27- Billy Eldridge is innocent.- I have your word.- How can I show you?

1:09:27 > 1:09:33On his way to return a video, he got 20 out. The time's on the receipt.

1:09:33 > 1:09:37The victim identified him, Reverend. The victim...

1:09:37 > 1:09:40Saw him standing there. That's all Billy was doing.

1:09:40 > 1:09:43There's a grand jury hearing going on right down the hall,

1:09:43 > 1:09:47but the DA won't present it if you don't buy the evidence.

1:09:47 > 1:09:51- And you know there isn't any. - Reverend, come here. Come here.

1:09:52 > 1:09:56- I appreciate you wanting to help the boy.- The young man...

1:09:56 > 1:10:00helped himself. He shows up every day to his four and a quarter an hour job,

1:10:00 > 1:10:03which he's held steady for two years.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05And he goes to school at night.

1:10:05 > 1:10:09He came to a crossroads a long time ago.

1:10:09 > 1:10:12And he chose the right path. Now, it's up to you...

1:10:12 > 1:10:13to judge not his past,

1:10:13 > 1:10:18but his future. Not his failures, but his dreams.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21Not his imperfections, but his possibilities.

1:10:21 > 1:10:23Hallelujah!

1:10:25 > 1:10:27- CHOIR:- # Hallelujah!

1:10:27 > 1:10:31# Hallelujah!

1:10:28 > 1:10:31Hallelujah! #

1:10:31 > 1:10:33- Is that Billy?- Yeah!

1:10:33 > 1:10:35It is!

1:10:36 > 1:10:39Momma, Momma, Billy's home!

1:10:39 > 1:10:41- Thanks a lot, Rev. - You're welcome, son.

1:10:41 > 1:10:44I prayed for you, Billy.

1:10:44 > 1:10:47Hey, sister. I missed ya.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49How're y'all doing?

1:10:49 > 1:10:51Where're the boys at?

1:10:51 > 1:10:53Hey, bro!

1:10:54 > 1:10:56God bless you, Pastor.

1:10:56 > 1:10:57Billy's home!

1:10:57 > 1:11:00Billy's home! Billy's home!

1:11:00 > 1:11:04It's so good to see you. Did they hurt you? Are you all right?

1:11:04 > 1:11:06Are you hungry? You're hungry.

1:11:06 > 1:11:10Kids, get the good dishes out.

1:11:10 > 1:11:12Two points.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17He's doing it better than you!

1:11:17 > 1:11:23- Dudley, I'm a mother. I can't die like this.- My feet are sore.

1:11:23 > 1:11:25I want to watch.

1:11:25 > 1:11:26OK, baby, you can watch.

1:11:28 > 1:11:30That was fun.

1:11:30 > 1:11:32- Whoa!- OK.

1:11:32 > 1:11:34- All right. You sit here.- OK.

1:11:34 > 1:11:38- Mommy will be right over there skating, OK? Keep warm.- I will.

1:11:38 > 1:11:43The cocoa man will bring you a drink. Look out for Daddy.

1:11:43 > 1:11:45Come on, Julia.

1:11:48 > 1:11:49Mademoiselle?

1:11:49 > 1:11:53- Madame, please. Nothing too fancy. - Oui.

1:11:55 > 1:11:57# Who would have thought of it

1:11:57 > 1:12:00# That I would feel like this... #

1:12:00 > 1:12:02I'll get better! # ..Some kind of wonderful

1:12:02 > 1:12:04# There's nothing quite comparable

1:12:04 > 1:12:06# Something about it

1:12:06 > 1:12:09- # It's all so innocent... # - Bend your knees.

1:12:09 > 1:12:12# ..I wasn't looking for it... # Told you I'd get better.

1:12:12 > 1:12:14I wonder where Henry is.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17This time of day? Probably stuck in traffic.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20Oh, come on!

1:12:20 > 1:12:23Where did this light come from?

1:12:23 > 1:12:26Can't stand it. I don't believe it.

1:12:26 > 1:12:29# ..I swear it brings me closer to you

1:12:29 > 1:12:34# My only reservation is you My sweet temptation, baby... #

1:12:37 > 1:12:38Mommy!

1:12:38 > 1:12:41Hi, baby!

1:12:44 > 1:12:46- Here's your hot chocolate.- Thank you.

1:12:46 > 1:12:48You're welcome.

1:12:50 > 1:12:51Ready for this?

1:12:51 > 1:12:54If you catch me.

1:12:54 > 1:12:59# ..Who could imagine this That I'd find my happiness

1:12:59 > 1:13:01# In someone I barely know?

1:13:01 > 1:13:07- # I'd like to take it slow... # - I can't take this. What gives?

1:13:07 > 1:13:11# ..You're breaking all my rules What is it in your smile

1:13:11 > 1:13:15- # That makes me feel the way I do... #- Hey, come on, change!

1:13:15 > 1:13:19# ..I'm trying to live my life And I'm trying to live it right

1:13:19 > 1:13:23# If I desire you It ain't because I'm trying to... #

1:13:25 > 1:13:29- No!- # ..I swear it brings me closer to you. My only reservation... #

1:13:29 > 1:13:34I can't believe this! Nobody seems to care. Am I alone in this?

1:13:34 > 1:13:37Change! I gotta go see my son!

1:13:37 > 1:13:40# ...Oh, my heart is calling

1:13:40 > 1:13:43# See, I'm falling for you

1:14:39 > 1:14:40Wow!

1:14:40 > 1:14:42Whooo!

1:14:42 > 1:14:43Hi, Ma.

1:14:43 > 1:14:46Shh. The movie's almost over.

1:14:48 > 1:14:50Thank you.

1:14:50 > 1:14:51Madame.

1:14:53 > 1:14:55All right, off with the boots.

1:14:58 > 1:15:00- MARGUERITE:- Ohhh...

1:15:02 > 1:15:04Grandma's crying.

1:15:04 > 1:15:08She cries at these movies every Christmas.

1:15:08 > 1:15:10She cries at Jingle Bells.

1:15:10 > 1:15:11Ohhh...

1:15:11 > 1:15:13MARGUERITE SNIFFS

1:15:20 > 1:15:23So, skating was good, huh?

1:15:23 > 1:15:25- Er...- Yes, it was OK.

1:15:25 > 1:15:28- I had a good...- It was a nice time. - Yeah.- Yeah.

1:15:28 > 1:15:31- Grandma?- It was great, it was nice, skating.

1:15:31 > 1:15:33Yeah. We had a good time.

1:15:33 > 1:15:35- Yeah.- Yeah.

1:15:35 > 1:15:38- It was great. I laughed a lot. - Oh, my Lord.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40# Jingle bells

1:15:40 > 1:15:44- # Jingle bells... # - Go get Grandma a glass of water.

1:15:44 > 1:15:45Go ahead.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47# Jingle bells... #

1:15:47 > 1:15:50Er, I'm gonna...

1:15:50 > 1:15:52I'm gonna, er...

1:15:52 > 1:15:53Mmm. All right.

1:15:53 > 1:15:56..going to do some work in the office.

1:15:59 > 1:16:03- Oh, my Lord! - Ma, you said that already.

1:16:03 > 1:16:06And I'm gonna say it again. Oh, my Lord!

1:16:06 > 1:16:11Ma, he's been very kind, that's all. At least he's got time for me.

1:16:12 > 1:16:16Julia, Henry can't be ten places at once.

1:16:16 > 1:16:19And don't tell me your daddy could.

1:16:19 > 1:16:22Pull yourself together, young lady.

1:16:22 > 1:16:24You're a married woman.

1:16:24 > 1:16:27Oh, Ma...

1:16:27 > 1:16:29I can look in the window.

1:16:29 > 1:16:31Even if I don't buy.

1:16:31 > 1:16:37You'd just better not go window- shopping with money in your pocket!

1:16:37 > 1:16:42And you'd better not be putting anything in the layaway plan either!

1:16:42 > 1:16:43You hear me?

1:16:43 > 1:16:45Oh, Ma!

1:16:53 > 1:16:59# ..Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. #

1:16:59 > 1:17:01Let's do it again.

1:17:01 > 1:17:04No more, Jer, please. Dad's home.

1:17:04 > 1:17:07- Oooh!- Daddy! Where were you?

1:17:07 > 1:17:09I'm sorry, Jer, I really am.

1:17:09 > 1:17:12I can't understand why the traffic was so bad.

1:17:12 > 1:17:15- We'll go tomorrow, OK?- OK.

1:17:15 > 1:17:18- I did skating, Dad.- You did?

1:17:18 > 1:17:20Good for you! And I...

1:17:20 > 1:17:23got Billy home for Christmas.

1:17:23 > 1:17:25They dropped the charges!

1:17:25 > 1:17:29- How did you do it?- I just remembered you've got to look someone in the eye

1:17:29 > 1:17:31to see if they're innocent.

1:17:31 > 1:17:33So, it wasn't that hard.

1:17:34 > 1:17:38- Daddy?- Yes, son? - Skating isn't hard neither.

1:17:38 > 1:17:40- It isn't?- No.

1:17:40 > 1:17:42Your mom taught you, huh?

1:17:42 > 1:17:45Dudley and Mom. It was fun!

1:17:49 > 1:17:51Dudley went skating with you?

1:17:51 > 1:17:54We waited for you, Henry. You didn't miss much at all.

1:18:01 > 1:18:06Henry! Just the man I want to see. I was working on this Christmas...

1:18:06 > 1:18:08Keep away from my wife.

1:18:10 > 1:18:11What did I do now?

1:18:11 > 1:18:16- You take her to lunch.- You were late.- To Jazzie's.- You asked me to.

1:18:16 > 1:18:19You take her skating. What kind of man do you think I am?

1:18:19 > 1:18:22Keep the hell away from her.

1:18:22 > 1:18:26Henry, you're a man of God.

1:18:23 > 1:18:26Doesn't mean I'm blind.

1:18:26 > 1:18:28I've seen the way she looks at you.

1:18:28 > 1:18:29Really?

1:18:29 > 1:18:32- I mean...really?- All right.

1:18:32 > 1:18:33Fine.

1:18:33 > 1:18:35I want you to leave. Now.

1:18:35 > 1:18:39- Now?- Yes, now. - Don't think I can do that.

1:18:39 > 1:18:44I'll check the angel handbook. It says I can't go until I'm through.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46It says right here...

1:18:46 > 1:18:48Wait a minute! Hey! Henry!

1:18:48 > 1:18:50Ohhh!

1:18:50 > 1:18:52What was that?!

1:18:52 > 1:18:55- Ohhh...- Oh, my goodness!

1:18:55 > 1:18:57Ohhh!

1:18:57 > 1:18:58What?

1:18:58 > 1:19:01- We're in trouble.- What was that?

1:19:01 > 1:19:04It wasn't a sign that there's a new pope, I'll tell you that!

1:19:04 > 1:19:09- What? What's going on? - You're in trouble. I'm not the problem in your house.

1:19:09 > 1:19:13- I want you out of the house.- It wasn't me!- Who are you talking to?

1:19:13 > 1:19:18- It wasn't me!- Get out of my house! - What is going on?- I am terminating Dudley's services. I want him out!

1:19:18 > 1:19:21- Do you want that?- It's not a question of what she wants!

1:19:22 > 1:19:23All right.

1:19:23 > 1:19:30Julia, you're part of this. You say.

1:19:26 > 1:19:30You two stop this right now. Just stop it!

1:19:30 > 1:19:31You hear me?

1:19:33 > 1:19:37- You see what you did? - It's not about me, Henry.

1:19:37 > 1:19:40You and Julia would have these problems even if I never showed up.

1:19:40 > 1:19:44You've forgotten what's important. For you and for her.

1:19:44 > 1:19:47You're going to remind me, I'm sure.

1:19:47 > 1:19:51St Matt's is more than just a church. It glues everything together in this neighbourhood.

1:19:51 > 1:19:54And you mark my words, without it,

1:19:54 > 1:19:56this neighbourhood will fall, I guarantee it,

1:19:56 > 1:20:00and Julia will never look at you the same.

1:20:09 > 1:20:11Hey, handsome!

1:20:11 > 1:20:15Walk me across the street. I gotta take this to Bessie Adams.

1:20:15 > 1:20:18- Well, actually, I was... - Walk me.

1:20:18 > 1:20:20Delighted.

1:20:24 > 1:20:28I heard what you two were talking about.

1:20:28 > 1:20:29Really?

1:20:29 > 1:20:33Now, I don't usually pry into other folks' business.

1:20:33 > 1:20:35- Uh-huh.- Hold on a second.

1:20:37 > 1:20:39Mmm-mmm!

1:20:41 > 1:20:42Now...

1:20:42 > 1:20:45what are you doing to my daughter?

1:20:45 > 1:20:48Mrs Coleman, it's all right, I promise you.

1:20:48 > 1:20:50Nothing is all right, Dudley,

1:20:50 > 1:20:55when I see a married woman look at a man that way.

1:20:55 > 1:20:57I'm just trying to help them.

1:20:57 > 1:20:58Ha!

1:20:58 > 1:21:00SHE COUGHS

1:21:00 > 1:21:05- You shouldn't smoke. Our time on earth is precious.- That's right.

1:21:05 > 1:21:09And the most precious time of all is time spent with your family.

1:21:09 > 1:21:13I'm supposed to only be here through Christmas.

1:21:13 > 1:21:16But I will conveniently have a hip injury

1:21:16 > 1:21:19and stay to the year 2000 if I have to.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23Do you understand what I'm saying?

1:21:21 > 1:21:23- I do now.- Uh-huh.

1:21:23 > 1:21:26Look, I'm having a little trouble getting through to Henry.

1:21:26 > 1:21:29Now, Julia is wonderful. I think she deserves...

1:21:29 > 1:21:33Don't talk about what Julia does and doesn't deserve!

1:21:33 > 1:21:35She's Henry's wife.

1:21:35 > 1:21:38Don't worry.

1:21:38 > 1:21:41I'm sure she'll forget me as soon as I leave.

1:21:41 > 1:21:46She'll forget herself if you go on like this.

1:21:46 > 1:21:49- OLD WOMAN: Marguerite, is that you?- Coming, Bessie.

1:21:49 > 1:21:50Now, Dudley,

1:21:50 > 1:21:53you are a charming person.

1:21:53 > 1:21:56You go charm somebody else.

1:21:56 > 1:21:57OK?

1:22:09 > 1:22:11Bessie, I'm coming in!

1:22:11 > 1:22:15Did I tell you I quit smoking?

1:22:15 > 1:22:18I'm so proud of you, sugar!

1:22:18 > 1:22:21How're you doing? Look at you! Oh!

1:22:23 > 1:22:26- Watch it, don't slip now! - Come on, babies, let's go.

1:22:26 > 1:22:30Thank you so much. Now you'll have more room.

1:22:30 > 1:22:32Hi, Dudley!

1:22:32 > 1:22:35I'm just babysitting Jeremiah.

1:22:35 > 1:22:39- Get away from that dog! Go ahead! - Jeremiah!

1:22:39 > 1:22:41Saul?

1:22:45 > 1:22:47Thank you so much for the ride.

1:22:47 > 1:22:50I know you had to go out of your way.

1:22:50 > 1:22:56First five minutes of the Nutcracker hadn't changed any since last year!

1:22:53 > 1:22:56We'll leave early to come get you.

1:22:56 > 1:22:58Thank you.

1:23:00 > 1:23:03THEY GIGGLE Thanks.

1:23:03 > 1:23:04OK.

1:23:06 > 1:23:09- Bye bye.- Bye.

1:23:09 > 1:23:12Saul, come on, we're gonna be late.

1:23:12 > 1:23:16Oh, Santa, just leave that man under my tree. If he'll fit.

1:23:17 > 1:23:21# We all wanna make a place in this world

1:23:21 > 1:23:26# We all want our voices to be heard

1:23:26 > 1:23:33# Everyone wants a chance to be someone

1:23:33 > 1:23:37# We all have dreams we need to dream

1:23:37 > 1:23:42# Sweeter than any star you can reach

1:23:42 > 1:23:45# Cos when you reach and find

1:23:45 > 1:23:49# You've found someone

1:23:49 > 1:23:53# You'll hold this world's most priceless thing

1:23:53 > 1:23:57# The greatest gift this life can bring

1:23:57 > 1:24:01# Cos when you look back and know

1:24:01 > 1:24:05# You were loved... #

1:24:18 > 1:24:22Keeleys... Take a left at Woodlawn.

1:24:22 > 1:24:25The Keeleys live on Sixth.

1:24:25 > 1:24:29Henry, the Keeleys live on Woodlawn.

1:24:30 > 1:24:32You're jealous.

1:24:32 > 1:24:33- I am not jealous!- Yes, you are.

1:24:33 > 1:24:36I may be a lot of things, but jealous is not one of them.

1:24:36 > 1:24:41- You're so jealous you can't think straight.- I'm thinking just fine.

1:24:41 > 1:24:45- You can't remember where the Keeleys live.- On Sixth!

1:24:45 > 1:24:48- Then why is it right over there? - What?

1:24:48 > 1:24:49Hmm.

1:24:55 > 1:24:57Woodlawn.

1:24:57 > 1:24:58Sixth.

1:24:58 > 1:25:00This it?

1:25:00 > 1:25:02Mmm. There's the house.

1:25:02 > 1:25:04- Careful, honey.- I will be.

1:25:04 > 1:25:08Drive all this way, they're probably not even home.

1:25:10 > 1:25:13At least they've shovelled the walkway!

1:25:15 > 1:25:16Ohhh!

1:25:24 > 1:25:25Henry!

1:25:28 > 1:25:29What're you laughing at?

1:25:31 > 1:25:33You look like a kid!

1:25:33 > 1:25:36- Are you all right?- Fine. - Let me help you up.

1:25:36 > 1:25:38Thank you, baby.

1:25:40 > 1:25:42Oh, baby, what're you doing?

1:25:42 > 1:25:44- You were helping me up! - You did it on purpose!

1:25:47 > 1:25:49- Eddie, come here quick! - What's going on?

1:25:49 > 1:25:52Mrs Biggs, I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

1:25:52 > 1:25:55Thank you, we're fine.

1:25:55 > 1:26:00I told these kids to shovel it. They only got Santa Claus on their minds.

1:26:00 > 1:26:02These are yours. Merry Christmas.

1:26:02 > 1:26:05For us? Merry Christmas.

1:26:05 > 1:26:08- Go inside. Now, you be careful. - We will.

1:26:08 > 1:26:11- See you on Sunday.- We'll be there.

1:26:11 > 1:26:13All of us.

1:26:13 > 1:26:17Ohhh... It seems like we've been doing this forever.

1:26:17 > 1:26:21Forever's right. Remember the first time?

1:26:21 > 1:26:23- My mother was visiting.- Yes.

1:26:23 > 1:26:27- You know, Henry, she never liked me. - No. That's not true.

1:26:27 > 1:26:32"Girl, get some meat on them bones. Henry ain't got nothing to grab on to back there!"

1:26:32 > 1:26:36- She just wanted you to eat. - To be as fat as her!

1:26:36 > 1:26:37She wasn't that fat.

1:26:37 > 1:26:42A policeman would see her and go, "Break it up!"

1:26:45 > 1:26:47Stop it!

1:26:47 > 1:26:50Rest her soul.

1:26:50 > 1:26:52It's good to see you laugh again.

1:26:54 > 1:26:57It's nice to have a reason to.

1:26:59 > 1:27:02You know, I miss this, Henry.

1:27:03 > 1:27:05I wish he'd show up more often.

1:27:18 > 1:27:20There. We did it.

1:27:21 > 1:27:25I'm gonna go to the church for a minute.

1:27:25 > 1:27:27You go on inside.

1:27:33 > 1:27:36- There we go.- Thank you.

1:27:36 > 1:27:38Don't slip.

1:27:38 > 1:27:40I won't. Don't be long.

1:28:01 > 1:28:07# Our father, which art in heaven

1:28:07 > 1:28:08# Hallowed...

1:28:08 > 1:28:15# Be...thy name

1:28:15 > 1:28:18# Thy kingdom come

1:28:18 > 1:28:22# Thy will be done

1:28:22 > 1:28:24# On earth

1:28:24 > 1:28:31# As it is...in he-e-e-aven

1:28:31 > 1:28:34# Give us this day

1:28:34 > 1:28:39# Our daily bread

1:28:39 > 1:28:43# And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors

1:28:43 > 1:28:48# And you must not lead us into temptation

1:28:48 > 1:28:52# But deliver us from all evil

1:28:52 > 1:28:58# For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory

1:28:58 > 1:29:00# Forever

1:29:00 > 1:29:04# Amen. #

1:29:06 > 1:29:09- Separate entrance? - It could work.

1:29:09 > 1:29:12Mr Hamilton?

1:29:12 > 1:29:14- Will it slow us down?- Mr Hamilton?

1:29:14 > 1:29:16Yes, Bernita?

1:29:16 > 1:29:18Reverend Biggs is here to see you.

1:29:19 > 1:29:21Henry!

1:29:21 > 1:29:22Joe.

1:29:22 > 1:29:23Er...

1:29:24 > 1:29:27Joe...I need to speak with you.

1:29:28 > 1:29:31- Can we...?- Go ahead!

1:29:31 > 1:29:36I have no secrets from these people.

1:29:32 > 1:29:36I've reconsidered. I don't want the job.

1:29:36 > 1:29:39I can't leave my own people, Joe.

1:29:39 > 1:29:44And they can't afford to travel clear up here. And Julia and I...

1:29:44 > 1:29:47Henry, a deal is a deal.

1:29:47 > 1:29:50My decision is final.

1:29:50 > 1:29:51I'm sorry.

1:29:51 > 1:29:55You're sorry? Sorry is not good enough, Henry!

1:29:55 > 1:30:00You don't get it, Henry. I don't care about St Matt's.

1:30:00 > 1:30:03St Matt's is where we've been, not where we're going.

1:30:03 > 1:30:06Only if people like you abandon it, Joe.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14It used to be you couldn't pick up and move away from your own people

1:30:14 > 1:30:17as soon as you made a couple of bucks.

1:30:17 > 1:30:20There was nowhere else for us to go.

1:30:20 > 1:30:22- But at least our kids grew up with their heroes.- Henry,

1:30:22 > 1:30:26I'm trying to be nice, because you and I go back a ways,

1:30:26 > 1:30:28and the old reverend was good to me.

1:30:28 > 1:30:31But this is gonna happen anyway.

1:30:31 > 1:30:34With all due respect, Joe, how do you think you can make me...?

1:30:34 > 1:30:41Not you, the church. It's coming down.

1:30:37 > 1:30:41- What's coming down?- The church!

1:30:41 > 1:30:43Henry...

1:30:43 > 1:30:46Why am I trustee of a church I don't go to?

1:30:46 > 1:30:51Because your deacons came begging, telling me how broke the church was.

1:30:51 > 1:30:54I bought the mortgage! That's right.

1:30:54 > 1:30:59I own it and it's coming down. That land's worth a lot more to me with nothing on it.

1:30:59 > 1:31:04- You're gonna tear down MY church? - Yes. Build a mall and tennis courts.

1:31:04 > 1:31:05- Tennis courts?!- Henry...

1:31:05 > 1:31:09We'll turn that neighbourhood around. Attract some real money.

1:31:09 > 1:31:12- Oh, I see!- You see?- Yes.

1:31:12 > 1:31:17Without me leading them, people will cave in. That's why you got me here.

1:31:17 > 1:31:21No, I want you to lead them. Into the future.

1:31:21 > 1:31:25Whose future, Joe? They don't play much tennis!

1:31:28 > 1:31:31Joe, come to the church. See who you'll be hurting.

1:31:31 > 1:31:35See their faces, their families, their children, Joe!

1:31:38 > 1:31:41People are a lot tougher than you think, Henry.

1:31:44 > 1:31:46HENRY SIGHS

1:31:46 > 1:31:48Henry, look.

1:31:48 > 1:31:49They'll survive!

1:31:49 > 1:31:54And you still think YOU care about the things WE care about?

1:31:57 > 1:32:02"Hark! I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger." That's what I say.

1:32:02 > 1:32:04Only louder.

1:32:04 > 1:32:08Hark! I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger!

1:32:08 > 1:32:11Then Michael and Jessica come on,

1:32:11 > 1:32:14and sing a really slow song.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17It's not that slow. And it's very pretty.

1:32:17 > 1:32:21Meant to ask you - you two have a fight last night?

1:32:21 > 1:32:24No, we delivered Christmas baskets.

1:32:24 > 1:32:27- The gym socks were a hit. - I knew they would be.

1:32:27 > 1:32:29THAT you were right about.

1:32:29 > 1:32:32- Hi, there.- Henry.- Hello!- Dad!

1:32:32 > 1:32:37- Jason got sick, and I'm gonna be a shepherd in the nativity play.- Oh!

1:32:37 > 1:32:40I won't have to say, "Baaaa!"

1:32:40 > 1:32:42THEY ALL LAUGH

1:32:42 > 1:32:43That's great!

1:32:43 > 1:32:48Cos someone very special is gonna listen to every word you say.

1:32:48 > 1:32:52- Huh?- Your mother and I figured out what you'd like for Christmas.- Yes.

1:32:52 > 1:32:54Did you wrap it up?

1:32:54 > 1:32:56Not quite.

1:32:59 > 1:33:00Hakim!

1:33:01 > 1:33:03I missed you.

1:33:07 > 1:33:08Aaaw...

1:33:10 > 1:33:12Is he going to stay forever and ever?

1:33:12 > 1:33:16Till the New Year, then after that, we'll see.

1:33:16 > 1:33:18- Yeah!- Yeah!

1:33:19 > 1:33:23I have a secret. My ambulance has a siren now.

1:33:23 > 1:33:24Really? >

1:33:24 > 1:33:28- SIREN WAILS - God bless Mommy and Daddy,

1:33:28 > 1:33:32- and Grandma...- And MY Grandma.- Amen.

1:33:32 > 1:33:34Ready, guys?

1:33:34 > 1:33:37We did our prayers, cos we were already on our knees.

1:33:37 > 1:33:42OK. It's time to get into bed now. Come on.

1:33:44 > 1:33:46Boing!

1:33:46 > 1:33:48All right. Goodnight.

1:33:48 > 1:33:50- Goodnight.- Goodnight.

1:33:50 > 1:33:52No talking late now.

1:33:54 > 1:33:56Close the door, please.

1:33:58 > 1:34:00OK.

1:34:01 > 1:34:04Wait till you meet Dudley.

1:34:04 > 1:34:07- Who's that? - The man in the grey coat.

1:34:07 > 1:34:09- Huh?- You remember.

1:34:09 > 1:34:11Oh!

1:34:17 > 1:34:20Christmas is supposed to be...

1:34:20 > 1:34:24the most joyous day of the year.

1:34:45 > 1:34:47Henry?

1:34:49 > 1:34:54Like some hot chocolate?

1:34:50 > 1:34:54No, thank you. I've got to check the fuse box.

1:34:54 > 1:34:59Anymore lights on that tree and we'll blow up the house.

1:35:25 > 1:35:30'Christmas is supposed to be the most joyous day of the year.

1:35:30 > 1:35:33'But for St Matt's, it's a day to surrender.

1:35:33 > 1:35:38'Not because I'm going to preach at another church,

1:35:38 > 1:35:42'but because the people who own the building are going to tear it down.

1:35:42 > 1:35:46'It's no-one's fault. No-one's to blame.

1:35:46 > 1:35:49'It just seems as though despite our best efforts,

1:35:49 > 1:35:54'our dream - my dream - for St Matt's will not come to pass.

1:35:54 > 1:35:56'But let's remember the good things we've shared.

1:35:56 > 1:36:00'The laughter, the exploding boiler,

1:36:00 > 1:36:03'the sounds of voices raised to heaven.

1:36:03 > 1:36:05'I'll miss it all.

1:36:05 > 1:36:09'I thank you for your efforts and for your friendship.

1:36:09 > 1:36:11'God bless you.

1:36:11 > 1:36:13'I love you all.'

1:36:20 > 1:36:23# Silent night

1:36:23 > 1:36:27# Holy night

1:36:27 > 1:36:30# All is calm

1:36:30 > 1:36:34# All is bright

1:36:34 > 1:36:37# Round yon virgin

1:36:37 > 1:36:40# Mother and child

1:36:40 > 1:36:44# Holy infant

1:36:47 > 1:36:53# Sleep in heavenly peace... #

1:36:53 > 1:36:55May I help you?

1:36:55 > 1:36:58Good evening. I'm Reverend Biggs' assistant.

1:36:58 > 1:37:01Wait in the living room, please.

1:37:01 > 1:37:04OK, Bernita, I'll take care of him.

1:37:04 > 1:37:07I ain't buying!

1:37:07 > 1:37:09For God's sake, it's Christmas Eve!

1:37:09 > 1:37:13- For the sake of God indeed. - Henry sent you.

1:37:13 > 1:37:15He's through. The hell with him.

1:37:15 > 1:37:20No, the HEAVEN with him, Joe. Even you can't mess that up.

1:37:20 > 1:37:24I don't know who you are, but...

1:37:22 > 1:37:24I'm an angel.

1:37:24 > 1:37:26No, not yours.

1:37:26 > 1:37:30No, I'm afraid yours is a long way off.

1:37:30 > 1:37:34I'm a very busy man, and you're wasting my time.

1:37:34 > 1:37:38I've given him another church! St Matt's is...

1:37:38 > 1:37:40PIANO CONTINUES TO PLAY

1:37:53 > 1:37:55What is this?

1:37:55 > 1:37:58It's like your past, Joe.

1:37:58 > 1:38:02You can walk away from it, but it's still there.

1:38:04 > 1:38:07- RADIO:- "What do you see here?"

1:38:07 > 1:38:12"Sterling Acres, a development miracle from Hamilton Realty."

1:38:12 > 1:38:14"200 luxury apartments,

1:38:14 > 1:38:1724-hour health club right on the grounds."

1:38:17 > 1:38:20This thing is broken!

1:38:21 > 1:38:24It's not even plugged in!

1:38:24 > 1:38:28That's very smart, however you did all this.

1:38:30 > 1:38:32But you gotta do better than that.

1:38:33 > 1:38:37Yeah, you gotta do a lot better than that...

1:38:37 > 1:38:39to get to me.

1:38:40 > 1:38:44Got to do a whole lot better than that to get to me.

1:38:46 > 1:38:49Whoever you are.

1:38:49 > 1:38:51Don't worry about who I am, Joe.

1:38:51 > 1:38:55You won't remember me tomorrow. But remember this.

1:38:56 > 1:39:00Look at the real price before you close the deal.

1:39:00 > 1:39:04- What's that supposed to mean? - You know.

1:39:04 > 1:39:07Listen to your heart. Do what it tells you.

1:39:07 > 1:39:09You'll find your way.

1:39:15 > 1:39:17APPLAUSE

1:39:19 > 1:39:20Hark!

1:39:20 > 1:39:24I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger.

1:39:27 > 1:39:32Hark! I hear Joseph and Mary in the manger.

1:39:35 > 1:39:38HARK! I HEAR JOSEPH AND MARY IN THE MANGER!

1:39:38 > 1:39:41Where's Joseph and Mary?

1:39:39 > 1:39:41MURMURING

1:39:55 > 1:39:59- BLEATING - See the infant meek and mild

1:39:59 > 1:40:02He is God's anointed child

1:40:02 > 1:40:05So celebrate this Christmas morn

1:40:05 > 1:40:09For on this day His son is born.

1:40:11 > 1:40:13Julia.

1:40:18 > 1:40:21I wanted to see you and say goodbye.

1:40:21 > 1:40:27No, no, I'll tell the council we still need you.

1:40:23 > 1:40:27This is over the council's head.

1:40:29 > 1:40:32Way over their head. Besides, it's time.

1:40:32 > 1:40:36- How can it be time? - It just is.

1:40:36 > 1:40:40It's funny. I spent 30 years thinking I'd be happy

1:40:40 > 1:40:43- if I could get back to this place. - Here?

1:40:43 > 1:40:48You must get sent to some pretty dead neighbourhoods.

1:40:48 > 1:40:54- Well, dead is relative. But now I know where I belong. - Is this because of me?

1:40:54 > 1:41:01No. Well, maybe just a little.

1:41:01 > 1:41:08Remember you asked what you do when the flame between two people dies?

1:41:08 > 1:41:09Yes.

1:41:10 > 1:41:14The answer is: don't let it.

1:41:17 > 1:41:19Will we ever see you again?

1:41:21 > 1:41:23I don't know.

1:41:25 > 1:41:28Let's see.

1:41:26 > 1:41:28- Not again. - LAUGHS

1:41:41 > 1:41:46# Or maybe a fisherman

1:41:46 > 1:41:50# Out on the sea #

1:41:50 > 1:41:52SONG CONTINUES, FAINTLY

1:41:53 > 1:41:56How can I thank you?

1:41:56 > 1:41:58You already have.

1:41:58 > 1:42:00God bless you.

1:45:58 > 1:46:02But, in love, there is also forgiveness.

1:46:03 > 1:46:07And forgiveness belongs to everyone.

1:46:07 > 1:46:12It's a right! Like the right to breathe! Or eat!
