This looks like The Twilight Zone.

[engine rattling]

What's wrong? Are we low on gas or something?

We got plenty of fuel.

High amps, oil pressure is in the green

but the power plant seems to be fading.

[engine hissing]

You mean you can travellacross the galaxy

but you can't fix a car?

I'm a navigator.

Yeah, what'd it say? Bates Motel?

Why do I get the feeling that we're gonna

find nothing but bones out here?

You! watch too many spooky movies.

Look who's talking!

Talk about the middle of nowhere.

I see electricity, but...

no phone lines.

[Paul knocks]

[Scott] Maybe nobody's home.

We're being watched.

more careful than to get stuck out here.

That’

Ss no reason to be rude.

l don't know of a’ better one.

[thunderclap]

[rain pattering]

I guess he was right.

There's an apple in the camper.

The man asked you how long we've lived here.

Well, not since l\ was five.

What do you do?

I'm a photographer.

Of what?

We have been a lot of places.

Ma says I'm pretty.

Do you think so?

Mest

[chuckles]

Julie hasn't been off this place

since she was five years old.

No, ! don't think so.

[Scott] What?

Something I've never come up against.

Nothing else?

What do you think? Of course ! do.

! know all about Spenser and Krystle and J.R.

out there, isn't it?

Well, 1 don't know.

Parts of it, 1 guess.

Most of the people I've met are very nice.

Yeah, ! thought so.

! mean, ! figured that out.

herwise everything

would be destroyed, wouldn't it?

Why?

[chuckles]

You don't know your scriptures, do you?

[sighs]

I guess not.

! fibbed last night.

Usually in a big tent.

Kind of a room with soft walls.

[Chewy meows]

[Julie screams]

It's burning!

[sphere whirring]

What's-- What's happening?

You're leaping to conclusions.

Oh. [breathing heavily]

-Julie.

Help me. Help me, please.

-Help me. Heal me, please.

-Wait, Julie. Julie.

-You're making a mistake. -Don't deny what you are.

God sent you. You have the gift.

It's in your hands, you're a healer.

Please!

Make me see.

We prayed for a miracle, now here you are.

Julie, wait. Listen to me, you're wrong,

I'm not what you think.

'm begging you.

[crying] ! want to go out there, and I want to for myself.

! want to know for myself.

-Julie, you're not listening.

Why are you saying this?

It's the truth:

[crying continues]

Is it because I'm a sinful person?

Is it ‘cause I'm a bad person?

I'm not.

I'm a good person. Ask my parents, they'll tell you.

[groaning]

Nothing. ! fell.

-YOu were in t!

-Nothing happened.

Hey, he can fix it.

Spark plugs and a hose.

You'll. be on the road’ in an hour.

-No. He can reall

l had to use the sphere.

A what?

We're in trouble.

[Paul] l don't know what to do about this: Got any ideas?

Me? No.

Look, when you try it’and it doesn't work,

wasn't in the right position or something,

and we have to wait a day.

This isn't a time for joking.

I think was serious.

Julie?

Julie, open the door.

Honey, please.

l want to know what happened.

Just leave me alone, okay?

Stop acting like a baby, and open the door.

[lock clicks]

All right, tell me, what did he do?

Nothing, Ma, ! already told you.

What did he try to do?

You just don't understand, do you, Ma?

And why do you keep treating me like I'm eight years old?

You know why.

‘Cause you're not like other girls.

Women! I'm a woman, not a girl!

Okay, I'm blind.

e, isn't it?

But the rest of me is whol

l mean, the rest of me

is like another woman, isn't it?

Something has got youlall riled Up, what=

You're standing there like you was aching to hit me.

I'm not a sinful person, am I, Ma?

Of course not.

I'm not blind because I sinned, am I?

hild, where'd you get such ideas?

Then why won't he heal me?

It is not up to us to question the Lord's will.

Not God! Him! Paul!

He's got the gift, Ma.

Did he tell you that?

Did he tell you he was a healer?

I've never heard such nonsense.

And you believed him?

It's true.

He didn't have to tell me.

To what?

[chuckles]

A miracle of healing.

You got to fill up that radiator with water before you start the truck up.

Thanks.

If you really want to thank me...

you leave Julie alone.

Leave her alone?

lives a Safe and simple life

I don't think that's what she wants.

Nothing but a lot of pain

and grief for a girl like that.

Wouldn't it painful for her

if this is all she knew

Look...

I didn't expect you'd understand.

Just'do what l ask.

since you're going that way.

-[Scott] It's almost full! -[Chewy purring]

[Paul] Should ! keep it running?

[Frank] Julie! Come on down now, Julie!

Yes, Pa?

Your mama's been telling me

about something strange.

What did you say

happened out in that barn?

I didn't call it strange.

miracles happen every day, aren't you?

Like when a comes up

You know what I'm talking about.

Like when Jesus fed the multitudes,

it's all in the Book, isn't it?

you're talking about Jesus.

Not some drifter in a beat-up camper

who just happened by.

What's gotten into you, child?

What kind! of devil you got inside your head?

Stop calling me child!

And how do you know? How do you know he just happened by?

-How do you know he wasn't sent?

-Now, don't get riled!

And what about all those preachers that you took me to listen to?

And all the healing that was going on that you said was real?

Are we just pretending to believe?

Don't you believe in God?

Of course we do.

What kind of a question is that?

Was there. 1 know what happened.

What?

What'd he say, this, uh, healer?

What difference does it make?

l know what I know.

What'd he say?

He said he wasn't one.

You don't know him!

All 1 had to do was touch his face, and ! knew.

anybody else I've ever been around.

hing you can say

that's going to change my mind.

I've had just about enough sass out of you.

I think you don't want me to see.

] think you don't want me to go out in the world

and find out what life is about.

Well, ! know I'm going to go,

l Know as sure as / know

[door opens, closes]

Our camper's ready, thanks to you.

I'd like to talk with Julie for a moment if 1 may.

No, sir.

You don't go one step near her.

You've done enough damage already.

She told you what happened?

don't know what your game is.

All l know is ! want you off my property now,

before’ l'call/ the sheriff,

It was a misunderstanding.

Mister, you slept under my roof...

you ate at my table...

! fixed your engine with all that...

What you've done to my daughter iS no way to repay a kindness.

l should've known better than to put my hand out to a stranger.

Believe me, ! won't make that mistake again.

Now, both of you, get off my land.

I'm sorry for the fear

hat you have inside of you.

What fear is that?

Mary, just let him go!

Something else.

great sadness.

Dad, come on, let's go.

[Paul] I feel bad not being able to talk to the girl.

! don't! I'm glad we're out of there.

I think they love her.

The same way that I love you.

Dad, if that's love, I'll take vanilla.

Vanilla?

It's a saying.

So, uh, I'll take vanilla.

[Paul chuckles]

No one sent’ me.

We got lost. It was accidental.

-You got lost and you found me. -Yes.

And now we found you again and we're going to drive you home.

I don't think so.

Ido.

[Julie] If you take me back,

I'm going to tell them that you kidnapped me,

and! that you did things to me.

What things?

You don't want to know.

I don't believe you!

Look, ! know. I know that it may not happen all at once.

There's no way you can make me believe that.

Dad) no!

Julie

I'm going to trust you with my life and the life of my son.

Dad, we don't even know her!

She won't betray us, I can feel it.

Only the truth will convince her.

Let her learn about things.

How to get along.

We won't be around! forever.

You keep talking about that stuff,

but you've been holding on to her as tight as me.

And' then he found! me.

And we started to look for my mom.

Ever since t

we've just been on the road.

[Paul] Do you understand?

There are some things I can do.

-But to make you see?
