- If I were to look
at these two theories,

those of creation and
Darwinism, for the first time,

I, as a rational being would say

it takes a greater
leap of faith by far

to accept the notion
that inanimate particles,

whose origin is unexplained,

somehow becomes living entities,

which through a random
process produce Miley Cyrus.

Now then, the basic tenant
of Christianity is--

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Coach's timeout.

- I think I might be
afforded the common courtesy

of completing my argument.

- Dr. Harkens, the
rules of this debate

have already been agreed upon

by both you and Dr. Fornier.

- Ah, yes, and I believe
the rules also included

the topic of the
debate, which is not

quote, "the basic tenant of
Christianity," close quote.

But quote, "The
existence of God, colon,

"harmless belief, comma,
blessing, comma, or curse,

"question mark," close quote.

You're not up here
speaking for Christians

which covers a pretty
broad spectrum of yahoos.

You are here, my
dear Dr. Fornier,

speaking for the Father,

the great bearded
watchmaker in the sky,

The Big G,

The Rock of Ages,
the Man Himself,

come on, give it all
up for God Almighty!

You want to debate that
fairytale you call Christianity?

I'll boogie with you on
that one all night long.

But I came here not just for
a little theological chit chat

but to sell books,
namely my new tome,

Aborting God.

So, why don't we just
stick to the topic,

what do you say, Doc?

You speak for the
Spirit in the Sky

and I'm gonna
cheer lead for sex,

drugs, and rock 'n roll!

- I have to take issues
with that, Dr. Harkens.

- Kinda figured you would.

- Because it is
only as a Christian

that I can approach
God the Father.

- Well, then those are
your limitations, sir.

None of my own.

See, I can approach
atheism from any direction;

a court jester, a
philosopher, a puppet,

a pauper, a pirate, a
poet, a pawn, or a king,

to quote that other
great religious leader,

the late lamented
Francis Albert the First.

Let me ask you something.

Is the God you believe in

any different than
the God of ISIS?

Because they certainly
don't think so.

They're no less sincere
in their beliefs

than you are in yours.

I mean,

I think you're both
smokin' the same dope,

the only difference is
yours is in a joint,

theirs is in a hookah.

Look what ISIS does, not
in the name of atheism.

No, no, but in
the name of Allah.

Do you honestly believe
we need more of that?

- Christianity
offers forgiveness,

not damnation as a tenant?
- Does it indeed?

- Absolutely.

John 3:16, "For God
so loved the world

"that He gave his
only begotten son,

"that whosoever believeth in Him

"should not perish, but
have everlasting life."

That is a God of
love and compassion,

that I know, that I love,

that I serve!

- Well, here's where
we leave the realm of theory

and we get personal, pal.

'Cause I had a beautiful,

perfect, glorious son,

whom I guarantee you I
loved every bit as much

as your supposed deity
of his begotten son.

But my begotten son got a
rather nasty form of cancer,

which I watched eat
away at his helpless,

tiny body, and
ultimately killed him

before reaching
his ninth birthday.

Now,

if I was a praying man, I
would get down on my knees

and I would pray to see
my son just one last time.

But then that would mean praying

to the very God who killed him.

So, rather
than being vindictive,

I just chalk my son's
death up to bad luck,

or you know, maybe
a quirk of genetics.

It's a bad roll of
the cosmic dice.

And with the help of some
fairly effective chemicals

and a healthy dollop of vodka,

I can somehow make
it through the night

without
blowing my brains out.

Because I accept that's
just the luck of the draw,

but don't you dare tell me

about the love and
the compassion of
your so-called God.

Because if He felt
like sacrificing his
only begotten son,

well, that's his business,

but he should've bloody-well
kept his hands off of mine!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Let me tell you
something else, pal.

Nobody, and I mean nobody
ever committed genocide

in the name of sex,
drugs, and rock 'n roll.

All they ever did was party!

And if you can't see that
humanity's better off with that,

then the myths that you peddle,

which have caused nothing but
misery for thousands of years,

well then, pardon the pun, but
God have mercy on your soul.

Oh, you want to know what
my religious credo is?

Party on, Wayne!

In the face of death,
party on Garth!

Instead of war, come on!

- Party on!

- Instead of damnation?

- Party on!

- Instead of judgment day,

I will take a snow
day and I will?

- Party on!

Party on!

Party on--
- Okay, okay, here me out.

One more thing.

Don't look for any
meaning in life,

because there isn't any.

There's no purpose, there's
no rhyme nor reason.

You don't need God to be moral,

you don't need a deity to know

that it's not cool to
cut somebody's head off

or burn them alive or sell
their children into slavery,

especially not in the name
of that supposed deity.

All you need, all you
need, all you need,

all you need, all you
need, all you need,

all you need is your humanity!

- Not a towel,
not a cloth, not a chamois.

It's an all-in-one
double-whammy.

A double-wide Wowie whammy!

This unbelievable product
is simply too unbelievable

to be all it claims to be.

But guess what?

It is!

It can soak up 200 times
its weight in liquid,

even messy grease!

So strong it can hold
up these two bricks,

even when wet.

If you have an unbelievable
cleaning job ahead of you,

Wipe Wowies is where
you should turn.

So, whether you have food to
scoop or you spilled the soup

or you're even gonna
clean up the poop,

you'll be saying wowie
with Wipe Wowies!

- Livin' the dream.

- If you
order one box now

within the next 25 minutes,
you'll get a second box free.

All you have to do is pay
shipping and handling.

- Hey, oh, you came to the
door, I feel so honored.

- Hi, Katy, are the boys ready?

- Boys?

- Oh, and I can't
keep the them all day.

I've got a book
launch party tonight.

- Another God bashing party.

How nice for you.

Um, I heard about the
debate last night.

You caused quite a sensation.

- Ahhh, it's not much,
but it pays the alimony.

- So...

What's the
use, never mind.

- No, no, you wanna say
something, go ahead.

- I don't need your
permission to speak, Sol.

- Do we really need to do this?

Why don't I just get the
boys and be on my way?

- You know, I do
want to talk to you

about the kind of support
you're giving our children.

- So, that's
what this is about?

You want to get the court
to increase the payments?

Well, you know what?

Your lawyer knows
where to find mine.

- I'm not talking about
financial support, Sol.

- Ah, well, what a novelty.

Thank heaven for
small blessings.

- What do you think
it does to the boys

to know that their
father is saying

that their brother's
life had no meaning?

That there's no hope
that he's in heaven?

- I don't believe
in that fairytale.

- But they do!

- Not my fault.

I'm not the one who
brainwashed them.

- Sol!

How can you take something

as intensely private as
the death of their brother

and use it as part
of your carnival act?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa
this carnival act,

it pays the bills around here.

- Well who pays the
emotional bills?

- What?

You don't
think there's a day

or a night or an
hour that goes by

that I don't think
about our son?

- My guess is that every
time you do, you get so high,

there's not an actual
feeling or thought at all.

- This conversation is not
only pointless, it's painful.

- Well, that's the first
honest thing you've said.

- Then why don't we end it?

- You did.

Remember?

- That's because I got tired

of living with you
constantly praying

for the salvation of my soul.

I got tired of
hearing your prayers

to a God, who if you really
believe in his omnipotence,

killed our son!

And if not killed him,

sure didn't answer your
pious entreaties to save him.

Where was his love and his
grace and his compassion

when you prayed for
just enough of it

to save an eight year old child

who never did a thing
except bring joy

into the life of everyone
who ever met him?

- You know what's so sad
about your bitterness, Sol?

It's robbed you of the
ability to remember

the gift of that joy and left
you with nothing but anger.

- Well, you know, like I said,

pays the bills.

- Oh.

Hey!
- Hi, Dad!

- Hey guys!

Uh,

is that for me?

- No.

I forgot.

Conner has a birthday
party to go to today.

- Oh, okay.

Well I guess we won't be going
to the amusement park today.

- Sorry, Dad.

It's Kyle's birthday today.

- No, it's fine, it's okay.

I get it.

I just wish I would've
known, earlier.

So, what about you?

You still up for some
roller coaster rides?

- Actually, Dad,

I kinda just feel like
hangin' out at home today.

- Really?

I come all the way out here
because you guys tell me

that you wanted
to go to the park.

- You know what, I'm gonna
let you two sort that out.

Sol, nice seeing you again.

Conner, let's go.

- Bye, Dad.

- Ya, bye buddy.

Have fun.

So, you want me to go too?

- What if we play some hoops?

- I can do that.

So, how is everything?
- Good.

- School?
- It's all right.

- Girls?
- Dad!

- So much
for small talk.

- I need to talk to
you about something.

- About girls?
- Dad!

- What do you wanna talk about?

- I need you to sign this.

- What, you wanna go to Haiti?

- With our church youth group.

We're raising money to
help build a water system.

- Water system?

Is that a euphemism for a well?

- Ya, and there's gonna be--
- A hole in the ground.

You're going to Haiti to dig
a hole in the ground.

- Look, if you're just
gonna make fun of it--

- I'm not making fun, I just
wonder what the point is.

I mean, can't the
people of Haiti dig?

Do you have to go all
the way down there

and show them how
to do it?

I'll bet they've been
digging holes in the ground

for millennia.

- Dad, I'm going to
do something good.

Don't you even believe
in doing good deeds?

- Well, of course I do.

I just don't believe in
professional do-gooders.

- Dad, I'm not asking you
to believe in the church.

I'm asking you to believe in me.

- Fair enough.

Fair enough, you
know what, you are,

you are a very decent young man.

And you know what?

I'm proud of you.

I really am.
- Thanks.

It means a lot to me.

- Now, come on, here.

Give me that ball.

What do you want to
play, horse or 21?

- Doesn't matter.

I'll beat you at
either one, old man.

- Old man?

I'll tell ya, those
are fightin' words pal.

I may be old but I'll
tell you something,

I still got this shot.

- Nice.

All right, I'll start.

- Start?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what
do you mean you'll start?

This was start.

- I said, "It's not a birdie,
it's an eagle!"

It's good to see you.

Ya, I never really
liked that guy.

Ah ha ha, just the
person I'm lookin' for.

- Champagne?

- Anything to kill
the pain works for me.

There ya go sweetheart.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I might as well, might as
well double-fist it.

Thank you.

- Really, Sol?

- Cool, what?

It's a party.

Besides.

Come on, that's pretty funny.

- I do not know this party song.

- Well, I'm sorry I don't
know any Russian top 40.

- There he is.

Darling, darling!

Oh, darling, you look fantastic!

- Oh, thank you,

- I heard that you killed
in that debate, killed it!

- Yes, that last debate is
gonna put you over the top.

It was even better
than I could imagine.

- Wow, then
here's to my last debate.

- Darling, it wasn't a debate.

I'm telling you,
it was a massacre.

You wore his bloody guts for
garters, that's what you did.

- Well, there wasn't
a very high bar,

but as I say, "I cleared it."

- Darling, you didn't
clear it, you killed it!

You ought to be on death row
that's how much you killed it.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa there pretty lady.

Come here.

What are,

what are those?

- This is called The
Harkens Hedonist.

It's special for the occasion.

- I can't pass on one of those,

it'd be like denying
one of my own children.

Thank you.

Mm.

- And who is this?

- Hm?

Oh, this, this is um...

- I'm Vanessa Biechevskayo.

- That's it.

- I'm with Sol.

- Oh, yes, of course, of course.

I am Norman, Sol's
put upon agent

and this is Tracee,
his publicist.

- As I
say, I am with Sol.

But only for party,
unfortunately.

I have sport magazine bikini
photo shoot in Bahamas.

I fly straight to airport--
- Fascinating.

Well, you know what?

You should probably leave early,

'cause you know those airports
get a little crazy.

- Sol?

- Hm?

- I going to mangle.

- Darling, I
think you mean mingle.

- Da, sure, mingle, mangle.

- I have no idea what she said,

but, loves me like a rock.

- You know, I'd say
congratulations on
your new relationship

but I have seen the
women in your life.

- You're not funny.

- So listen, I think I may
have scored an interview

with Diane Sawyer tomorrow.

This whole ISIS is no
different than the church thing

has gone viral baby.

- Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I just had a brilliant
thought; listen to this!

What if we do a
T-shirt that says

ISIS equals church?

We'll sell a million of them.

- Well hold
that brilliant idea.

Oh barkeep, can I
have another one

of these Hedon Harkenists?

- Back to the
Diane Sawyer piece.

- Oh please.

Come on, I just need some
breathing space, okay?

- Well, I'll tell you this,

the book party's a
smashing success.

Well done, darling.
- Thank you.

- The book is selling
like hotcakes.

- Fantastic.

Then I'm just gonna have to

toast myself.

- Sol,

- Thank you, Shane.

I'm so tired, I can't
wait to get out of here.

Grazie, my good man.
- Yes, sir.

- Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

What are you doing?

I thought
I was taking you?

- Sol, darlik.

You are very handsome,
very brilliant,

and also very drunk.

I told you, photo
shoot in Bahamas.

- Oh, come on, just blow
off the photo shoot.

Just come with me
to the Hamptons.

I promise we'll have
a really good time.

- Yes, of course.

But first I must
do bikini shoot.

It is big broke for me.

- I think you mean break.

- Ya, sure.

Then I am back
and we can mangle.

Ya.

Ya, sure, sure.

So I don't
even get a kiss goodbye?

- Sol, darlik,
there are paparazzi;

I don't wanna ruin the makeup.

It's business.

- Ya, it's not personal.

- See how smart you are?

- Loves me like a rock.

- Darling,
I'll take one

of those Harken Hedonist
things, whatever they are.

Call Sol Harkens.

- Incoming
call from Norman Manchester.

- Hey, Norm.

Miss me already, huh?

- Oh, Sol, darling.

Hey, listen, that
Vanushka, my goodness.

I mean, there's nothing like
a supermodel on your arm

to enhance your image.

Speaking of that, I could use

a little image
enhancement myself.

I was wondering if
maybe she had a sister,

or a cousin?

- 'Fraid not.

You know, she's one of
a kind, more or less.

At least I've got
one glamorous model

that does exactly what I want.

What are you talking about?

- My ride, dude.

This thing takes the curve
like she's on railroad tracks.

- Darling, please
do drive carefully,

and I'm not really kidding
about that old Vanushka thing.

I mean, maybe the Commie

has a really nice
looking grandmother.

You know, very good
DNA over there.

You've heard of all that, right?

Not that I'm desperate,
although I'm not not desperate.

- Who we kiddin'?

We both know you're desperate.

- Well, listen, Darling.

Do me a favor, call
me when you get there.

- Ya, ya, ya.

You want me to call you.

See, that's how
desperate you are.

You want me--

- Happy birthday
to you, my son.

- Happy birthday.

- I'm gonna give
you a big, big hug.

I'm very proud of you.

Good job, buddy, good job.

Davey?

Davey, my son, is that you?

- Daddy!

- Davey!

Oh, my boy.

I love you.

- It's not your time.

You must go back.

- I don't understand.

- You must go back.

- But I don't wanna go back,
I wanna stay here with you.

- Daddy.

Let there be light.

- What?

- Let there be light, Daddy.

- Wait.

No.

No, no, no, I don't,
I don't wanna go.

I wanna stay.

- It's okay, Dad.

- No, I don't wanna go.

I wanna stay with you.

- Let there be light!

- I wanna stay, Davey, Davey.

Davey!

Davey!

Davey!

I don't wanna go back, Davey!

- Norm,
is Sol Harkens dead?

- Am I wearing black?
- No.

- Then he's not dead.
- Rumor is he's dead!

Is he on life support?

- He's doing Diane Sawyer.

How could he be dead?

- Was he drunk?

- I have never seen
the man drink more

than a glass of white wine
at dinner in his entire life.

- Was he badly injured?

- Aside from the concussion,

you have a serious blood clot

that if it breaks loose
and travels to your brain,

will cause a stroke.

That's the bad news.

Now, the good news is
there's a very good chance

that if you're careful,

and you are already on massive
amounts of blood thinners,

with proper supervision, you
can make a full recovery.

- Thanks, doctor.

Look, I'll do whatever it takes.

- It takes following
doctor's orders.

Rest.

No alcohol.

- No, that's never a problem.

- In fact, I'd like to
keep you another night.

Just for observations.

- Thanks but no thanks.

I just wanna get out of here.

- Suit yourself.

You know, it's a miracle.

Clinically dead in the
ambulance for four minutes.

Evidently it just
wasn't your time.

- Of course it wasn't his time.

He's got a book tour!

I'll tell him when
it's his time.

- You jerk.

- Oh, he knows I'm kidding.

You know I'm kidding,
don't you, darling?

- Of course.

I mean, he wouldn't be able
to commission my funeral.

- Solomon, I would never
commission your funeral.

I would make it a
pay-per-view event.

- Seriously, Sol.

How are you feeling?

- I saw my boy.

- Conner or Gus?

Are they here?

- I saw Davey.

I saw my son.

- I'm sorry, wait a minute.

What, hold on, say
that again in English?

- I'm not kidding you, Norm.

I saw Davey.

I was in this amazing light.

- All right, hold on.

Stop right there.

That's fascinating, really.

But I want you to do me a favor.

Forget all of that.

Do you receive my meaning?

You understand if you
just stay who you are,

this could be your
biggest payday.

You came back from the
dead that other guy.

Uh, what's his name?

- Lazarus?

- No, I was gonna
say Arsenio Hall.

Look, you got hit on the head.

You're hallucinating, all right?

That's all.

And anyway, what did
those doctors say

in the middle of the night?

They said that your
blood alcohol level
was highly elevated.

- You were drunk?

- Katy, how did you
know I was here?

- I guess I'm still on
the hospital notify list.

- Hi, sweetheart.
- Hi, darling.

- Aren't you glad
our boy's okay?

- They say God watches
over drunks and fools.

- Well, I can't talk
about the fool part.

But I can tell you this
unequivocally, he was not drunk.

He had one drink at his
own book launch party.

One drink, just
like everyone else.

And by the way, there's
no police report.

The road was slick, he
lost control of the car.

You know, we're thinking
of suing the manufacturer.

- We are putting out a
statement as we speak.

- And that is the story we're
sticking to, no matter what.

- I'm not talking
about damage control,

I'm talking about just a
minimal sense of responsibility,

and not risking your
life so stupidly, Sol!

- Katy, I don't
know if blood pressure

can make the blood clot I've
got break loose and kill me,

but why don't you just
ease off on the sermon

and wait until my
pain meds kick in?

Then you can just
knock yourself out.

- Katy, Solomon,
let's not fight, please.

Let's think about something
much more exciting, like money.

Now look, I've talked
to all the networks

and the digital platforms,

you could have your
own one-hour talk show.

- You are gonna be
the next Bill Maher.

- And do you know why?

- Because I'm taller than he is.

- Darling, the mayor of Munchkin
City is taller than he is.

No, you are the only
one who crossed over

and can say, "I was right.

"There is no there there,
the only there is here."

And speaking of here,

I don't wanna be here anymore.

I'm going to go sign you out!

- Okay, so there's
just an eensie-weensie

teensy little group of
reporters out there.

What're you gonna
say when they ask

if you had a
near-death experience?

- Wait.

What near-death experience?

- It's just a figure
of speech, darling.

- Tracee, Norm,
look, I'm fine, okay?

Look, could you hold
this for me please?

- Really, Sol, really?

I think I'm done
carrying your baggage.

You know what, Sol?

I'm glad that you're okay.

I thank God for that,
and like it or not,

I'll be praying for you.

But, Sol, you need
to get some help.

Not just for your sake,
for the boys, you know.

They need you, they love you.

And they don't need any
more tragedy in their lives.

So party on isn't
gonna solve this.

It's what caused it.

- When Katy is done
with her lecture,

perhaps we can get our mind
around the press conference.

- I think the reporters
are just around the corner

by the elevators.

- Perhaps Katy
shouldn't be here.

- Or, perhaps the
focus should be on the good news

that Sol was okay.

- You know what?

Show must go on, right?

Hey, Sol?

The great thing
about not being part

of this merry-go-round anymore
is I don't have to take

being talked about
in the third person,

especially when I'm right
here in front of you.

- Katy, sweetheart, you know
that wasn't our intention.

- I'll be waiting over here
until the parade is over.

- That's a very good idea, Katy.

All right, here we go,
the show must go on.

Cheerio, Katy.

Smile, Sol, smile!

- Back
it up, let him through!

- Is it true
you were clinically dead?

Did you see the other side?

- Do
you believe in God now?

- Did you see the
tunnel of light?

- Have your views
changed at all?

- Did you see the abyss?

- Did you die in
the car accident?

- Was it
a near-death experience?

- Ya, well, I really don't
know anything about dying.

- Mr. Harkens--
- Hello everybody.

Thank you for these
wonderful questions.

Dr. Harkens has just had
a terrible concussion.

He will answer
all your questions

at his next public appearance.

Thank you, make way please.

Thank you.

- Okay everyone, okay.

Stay tuned.

Sol's comeback presentation

is already in the
works for next week.

But you can get updates
on AbortingGod.com.

Everyone got that?

All right.

Excuse me.

- Yous don't have to go home
but you can't stay here.

Get out.

- Honey, I'm home.

Agh, stupid game.

Reports now indicate

the deaths were immediate
and there were no survivors.

- And
on the lighter side,

Russian beauty
Vanessa Biechevskayo,

after the near-death experience

of her former main
squeeze, Dr. Sol Harkens,

seems to have found true love

in the arms of
photographer Brad Steele

while they were on a photo
shoot in the Bahamas.

- Yup, loves
me like a rock.

All right, all
right, I'm coming!

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

The doorman.

The doorman who?

Exactly!

Hi, Tracee.

- Sol, the doorman
just let me come up.

Hope you don't mind.

- Oh, I have a doorman?

- I am telling
Zachary you said that.

- Ah, I need to have a
little chat with him.

Come on.
- Brought you some danishes.

I didn't think you'd
be entertaining, so.

- How'd you
know I wouldn't be
up here with Vanessa?

- Well, first of all,

I saw on TV that Vaness--
- Oh, ya, okay, okay, okay.

Brad Steele.
- Mm hm.

Woo, he is so fine!

- Oh, and he's 20 years younger.

Oh, wait a second.

There might be an
open wound around here

somewhere on my body.

Did you wanna pour
some salt into it?

- Ah, you are such
a tease.

So, your publisher
called and she wants me

to draft the talking points
for your comeback presentation.

And I told her I
thought I needed

to clear it with you first.

- Good.

How 'bout, "No."

- Ya, we both thought
you might react that way.

- Well you know what,
you're both right.

Now, if you'll excuse
me, I'm a little down

on my allotted vodka
consumption for the day.

Did you uh, did
you want a drink?

- It's a little early in
the day for that, isn't it?

- Not if you're in London, baby.

- We are not in London, boo.

- Well, in that case I
share your confusion.

- Now listen, we have booked
the same hall that you debated,

or should I say
destroyed Fornier in.

And we're trying to recreate
the scene of your last triumph.

- Ya?

- So we were thinking, maybe,

it just might be a great idea
to have a teleprompter too.

You know, just in case.

Mm hm.

Seriously, Sol.

- I've been adhering to
a strict liquid diet.

What of it?

- Sol,

this is the audition gig
for the cable talk show,

not just another speech.

Can you honestly say that you
are 100% on top of your game?

- Absolutely.

150 proof.

- And so, it is my great
honor to present to you

the person who helped so
many shed superstition

and find reason, a man
of towering intellect,

a great humanitarian,
a fabulous writer,

and one of my closest
personal friends,

Dr. Sol Harkens.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

First of all, in the words

of that great Atheist
humorist Mark Twain,

"Reports of my death have
been greatly exaggerated."

Uh,

I was clinically dead

for four minutes,
according to my physician.

Uh, during that time I um,

I can assure you that

I heard
no church bells

or anything like that.

I um...

I saw no heavenly
hosts or anything and

no pearly gates,
and there was no,

there was,

there was no, uh, heavenly
voices or anything.

And I didn't see any...

Any uh...

Any uh, dearly departed.

Well, that, that,
that, that's not right.

I mean, I saw no, I
saw no heavenly um,

pearly gates or anything like...

It wasn't like a fairytale
heaven or anything

like that.

Katy.

I saw our son.
- What?

I saw our son.

I saw, I saw my boy.

I saw, I saw Davey.

And it was um,

it was beautiful.

- Oh my gosh.

Somebody call 911!

Sol, Sol, oh my gosh,
I'm here with you now!

Sol, Sol!

Sol, I'm here now.

Somebody call an ambulance!

Sol, it's gonna be okay.

- Dr. Walker--

Good morning.

I'm Dr. Patel,
Chief of Neurology

and a big fan of yours.

I'm halfway through
Aborting God, and I love it.

- Well, thank you.

- Good news.

Looking at your CT
scans and the MRI,

the clot has not moved, at all.

It hasn't broken
up and traveled,

and, it isn't pushing
up against anything

that would've caused you
to have such an episode.

- Then, what was it?

- Well, you've experienced
a pretty significant trauma.

It's not unusual for you
to experience anxiety,

sleepiness,
migraines, depression;

a myriad of symptoms, which
include panic attacks.

Obviously, the
lecture last night

was very stressful for you.

So, my advice would be to avoid

putting yourself
in such stressful
situations in the future.

So, do you have
any questions for me?

- Um, no.
- Yes.

Yes there is, Sol.

Now's your chance, just ask her.

- Please.

- Sometimes, when people have
these near-death experiences,

they say that they see, you
know, the tunnel of lights

and the heavenly chorus.

- Yes.

That is called The Death Surge.

Oftentimes, when
someone almost dies,

there is a surge
of brain activity.

It's like all of the
neurons in your cortex

firing at once.

And it gives the
person an intense sense

of seeing or even
experiencing something.

Now, they are not
actually experiencing it,

but, they believe they are.

The truth, however,
is they are seeing

their imaginations, quite
literally, running wild.

- Ah.

- Did you experience something
like that, Dr. Harkens?

Dr. Harkens?

- No, it was
nothing like that.

So, thank you, doctor.
- Of course.

Uh,

one last little thing.

Would you mind taking
a selfie with me?

- Thanks
for the ride, Katy.

- No problem.

So, Sol,

did that set your mind at rest?

- Look who
you're talking to.

The world's most famous atheist.

So, if my neurons
are gonna surge,

what I see is gonna
look like the grotto

at Heff's on New Year's,
on steroids.

I've done acid.

Trust me, I know what my
hallucinations look like.

You know, he,

he looked so beautiful, Katy.

He looked so peaceful,
so, so happy.

God, I wish I had died.

- Well, I, for one, thank
God that you didn't.

I know you saw him, Sol.

I'm sure of it.

Look, I gotta go pick up Conner.

He spent the night at Kyle's,

but I will be back,
to talk about this.

Tomorrow night, okay?

- You don't need to.

- Not everything's
about you, Sol.

I need to.

- Thank you, I appreciate it.

- Ah, get some rest.

You look like heck.

- Ya, sure thing.

Hi, honey, I'm home.

- Oh, that's great.

Would you make one of
those for your brother?

- K.

- All righty, I'll
see you later.

- How's Dad doing?

- Well, he's going through
a really hard time.

- You're spending a
lot of time with him.

What's up with that?

- How can you ask
something like that?

He's um, he's scared, Gus.

And he's hurting.

- What's gonna happen
when he's better?

He's gonna dump you again.

- Okay,

we're not back together,
so how can he dump me?

- He's a user, Mom.

He uses you, he
uses Conner and me.

- Okay, that's not
true and you know it.

He loves you guys.

Where's this coming from?

- I don't want to see
you get hurt again.

- Aw.

My cautious boy.

We'll be just fine.

Okay?
- K.

- Don't forget to make
your brother a sandwich.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Ya, ya, ya, I'm comin'.

Keep your pants on.

What do they pay the doorman
around here for anyway?

I mean, why don't they just
hang up a big ol' poster

and say hey, come
on up to Sol's room.

He's got vodka, we
can have a party.

That's what we can,

K, Katy, ya,
come on in, come on in.

- You're drunk?

- Oh, can't pull the
wool over your eyes.

Nope, nope.

In truth this is as much the
vodka as it is the pain pills.

You know, maybe it's the
vodka, and the pain pills.

It could be.

- What's with
all these boxes?

- Huh?

Oh, those are,
they're Wipe Wowies.

Don't you watch TV?

You know, you, you can't sleep

and it's three in the morning
and you're sitting there,

you're zonked out
in front of the TV

and that carnival guy comes on.

Hey, did you know
that these things

can soak up 200 times
their weight in liquid.

It's a proven, scientific fact.

So I ordered 10 cases.

- Okay, give me the vodka.

- Oh, you want a drink,
I'll pour you one.

- No, I do not want a drink
and I will not be here

while you're drinking.

- You should
try it sometime,

'cause some of my best
friends are alcoholics.

- Well, you know how I feel
about your best friends.

- Ah, Kate.

Bonny Kate.

Prettiest Kate in Christendom.

Thy beauty doth make
me like you well.

For thou shall be
married to no man but me,

for it is I who was
born to tame you, Kate.

It's not a proposal, it's just
a little bit of Shakespeare.

- The Taming of the Shrew?

- If memory serves, ya.

- And I'm the shrew?

I am so out of here.

- No, no, no, no,
no, Katy, please.

Please.

Don't, truly, really, honestly I

don't want you to leave, okay?

I just wanna talk to you.

I have to talk to you, okay?

- You have a shrink and
that's what you pay him for.

- Katy, now,

nobody but you would
understand what I'm saying.

Okay, I'm not,

I can't sleep.

I can't think.

I can't, I can't not think.

And I can't stop thinking
about Davey, you know, and

how he looked and how it
felt and what he said.

- Wait, what?

What did he say, Sol?

- He looked at me

and he said,

"Daddy, let there be light."

You know, all I
wanted to do was,

I wanted to put my
arms around him.

But then I felt myself
being pulled away.

And he said it again, he said,
"Let there be light, Daddy."

And,

I sit here

and honest to God,

I don't know
what to do with that.

- Sol, you've gotten the
best scientific explanation

and that hasn't
satisfied you and it,

it hasn't brought
you any comfort.

I mean, all you
have to show for it

are six cases of
Wipe Wowies.

- I bought a dozen
Miracle Mops too.

- Oh, praise Jesus.

You'll allow for a miracle
when it comes to mops.

- Well, you can
take the head off

and you can put it in
the washing machine.

It's made of a 9,000
strands, interwoven together,

I wouldn't, I wouldn't
poo poo that mop.

- Okay.

Would you consider

consulting a different source?

I mean, you tried Dr. Patel
and late night television.

- Let me guess,

your pastor?

- What could it hurt?

- Uh, no, Katy.

I don't know anything anymore.

I could just, if I could
just get some sleep.

- I'll hold you
and you'll sleep.

- Oh, Katy, I
appreciate the offer,

but I'm really not
in the mood to--

- Sol,

I'll hold you, that's all.

But you'll sleep.

- Really?

- Come on.

- Kate.

Bonny Kate.

Prettiest Kate in Christendom.

My Bonny Kate?

What?

- Hello, darling.

- Oh, hey, Norm.

- You know the other
night when you went down

in a heap and started
break dancing on the floor?

I can't say it wasn't
entertaining, I'll
grant you that,

but it is hardly the
way to push a book.

Do you catch my drift?

- Not really.

- This is what
I'm saying, my friend.

It is time to put a
nickel in the pony

and start to ride again.

So, I have set up
a little interview,

a little one-on-one
thing with Cat Ryerson.

Print media only,
there's no cameras.

She is from NY Style
Magazine, darling.

She's lovely.
- Ya.

Let me um, let me
think about it.

- Think about it?

Darling, you don't
need to think about it.

That's why you pay me.

I do the thinking,
you do the writing.

There is nothing to think
about, do you understand?

We will show up in an hour
so take a shower and wake up.

Solomon!

Solomon, I know you're
lying there, darling.

Wake up!

- Good morning, the
doorman let us in.

- Of course he did.

- Please.

Dr. Sol Harkens, Miss Cat
Ryerson of NY Style Magazine.

- It's nice to meet you.
- You as well.

- Come on in.

Can I, can I get you anything?

- Oh no, I'm fine, thank you.

- A cocktail or something?

- It's the middle of
the morning, doctor.

- Yes, of course.

You know, I'm sure
I've got some water

around here somewhere.

Oh, I, I apologize for the mess.

I, uh, you know,

I had a party here and well--

- Thank you.

- The maid was supposed
to be here, so.

- She's always late.

- Not a problem.

Shall we get right to it?

- Sure, why not.

- The other night--

- I had a full-blown
panic attack.

It was a side effect
to my concussion.

- Well, you seemed to go
into that panic attack

as you were talking about
what you experienced

during the time you
were clinically dead.

- That could be.

I really don't remember.

- Did you get a glimpse
of the great beyond?

- You know, I really don't know.

- Well, let me put it
in a different way.

Now that you've experienced

whatever it was that
you experienced,

do you think it
changed you in any way?

Your outlook?

Thoughts on the possibility
of life after death?

Your beliefs?

- Um, no.

- No?

Come on, you don't
have something like
that happen to you

and then you just--
- Party on!

That's what he
does, he parties on.

- Yes.

I'm just
trying to,

I'm just trying to
sort things out here.

I'm trying to,
well, you, you know.

- No, I don't.

What sort of things?

- I really, I
really, I, I don't know.

You know what,

I'm not feeling really,

very good right now, so--
- How 'bout this?

Why don't we take five minutes.

You take--
- No, no, no.

You know what, the
interview's over.

I'm sorry.
- Wait.

What?

- It's my doctor's orders.

I'm supposed to avoid
stressful situations

and I'm really starting to feel
a little stressed out here.

Okay? I'm sorry.

- You know what?

That's fine.

I've just wasted
an entire morning

and blown an opportunity
to interview Keith Richards

because you promised
me an exclusive

from the great Dr. Sol Harkens.

Thanks, Norm.

I'll be sure to remember it.

- Cat, I, uh, I'll
make it up to you.

I will.

We'll go out to
lunch somewhere nice.

You pick it.

- You'll need
more than that.

- Well.

You really nailed that
one, didn't you, doctor?

- You know, just, just,
just back off, Norm!

You don't know what I'm
going through right now!

- I don't know what
you're going through?

Darling, you don't know
what I'm going through!

How am I supposed to sell
the celebrated author

whose latest exciting point
of view is: I don't know?

Because guess what?

They don't know either and
they're not gonna plunk down

$30 to find out that you
are as stupid as them.

Get your head out
of the afterlife and
back into this one.

Darling, you're blowing it.

- Excuse me.

Can you tell me where I can
find Pastor Vinny's office?

- Ya, but you won't
find him there.

- Okay.

Can you tell me
where I can find him?

- He's painting the fence.

You must be that Dr. Harkens.

I recognize you from you
picture in the newspaper.

- Ya, well, Katy,

she told me a lot of good
things about you,

but you, you're not
exactly what I expected.

- Did your wife tell
you what I really was

before I became a pastor?

- Uh,

is it important?
- I don't know, you tell me.

I was a wiseguy.

- A wiseguy?

- Ya, a wiseguy, mobbed up.

Actually, that's not
what I really was

before I became a pastor.

What I really was?

Inmate, 09699016.

Federal prison,
Lompoc, California.

- You were in prison?

- Do I stutter?

Or aren't you wired for sound?

Ya, I was in prison.

10 year stretch.

Three years of that
in the hole, solitary.

They gave me a Sony
Walkman and a book to read.

- It probably
wasn't one of mine.

- Not even close.

I read it front to
back a dozen times.

Even took notes.

See, I didn't come to Jesus
in any moment of epiphany.

I didn't see a vision, I
didn't hear a voice from above.

Not like your wife, she's
got a real gift of faith.

But me?

I'm a street guy.

I don't buy into
things too easy.

You gotta prove it to
me; I gotta see evidence.

And you know what really got me?

- I honestly haven't a
clue, but this is one

of the more interesting
conversations I've ever had

with a clergyman,
so please continue.

- The empty tomb.

What happened to the body?

- Uh.

You may have lost me.

- Follow me here.

This ain't brain surgery.

Jesus gets whacked, right?

- Well, I've never exactly
heard it put that way,

but ya.
- Well, now ya have.

They stick his body in a tomb,

they seal it up tighter
than a cement drum.

What happens next?

Ba-da-bing!

A body disappears.

Don't look at me like that.

The body disappeared.

Now if He resurrected,
that's a miracle.

Now that ain't a little miracle,

that's a big mother
of a miracle.

So the Romans, they
gotta find their body

because if Christ
rose from the dead,

gonna turn a lot of
people into believers.

And they didn't want that.

And the Romans were Italians.

Now, I know a little
bit about that.

When they wanted
somebody to rat,

they didn't mess around.

They fried guys, they
skinned 'em alive.

They crucified 'em upside down.

But nobody ratted out
where the body was.

Think about that.

The disciples, not one
of them broke rank.

They went to their death
stickin' to that story.

You know why?

Answer me, you know why?

- I have no idea.

- Because Christ
was resurrected.

There was no body.

Let me ask you this.

When your soul left your
body, what did it see?

- My son.

- And how did he look?

- So beautiful, so at peace.

- And how did you feel?

- I felt love I've

never felt before, never.

- You know why?

Because you were bathed
in the light and the love

of our Lord and Savior.

Now you come to me and you say,
"Pastor vinny, Pastor vinny.

"What does, Let
there be light' mean?"

Your wife told me about it.

If you say I can't
figure it out,

I'm buying Wipe Wowies,
whatever the heck they are.

I'm buying mops.

I'm going oobatz.

I'm going crazy--
- Okay, okay, okay.

You're on a roll, so
what does it mean?

- Jesus was the
Light of the World.

It was his sense of love
and peace that you felt.

It was his serenity.

Let me ask you something.

What's Christmas?

Don't just sit there,
I asked you a question.

What's Christmas?

- It's, it's a holiday.

- And you're the
one they call brilliant?

I don't know.
- All right, okay, okay.

It's Jesus' birthday,
it's the day He was born.

- And it falls at the
darkest time of the year.

That's no coincidence.

Because Jesus came to
bring the world light.

Look at what's going
on today in the world.

There's a darkness that's
spreading across the globe.

Can't you see it?

People are getting whacked
like it's the Middle Ages.

They're getting
their heads cut off,

they're getting burned alive.

You don't think
evil's a real force?

Let me tell ya, Doc, I
seen evil and it's ugly.

Look what those guys, ISIS,
look what they're wearing.

Their clothes are black,
their flags are black.

They're a cult of death.

And what do these
people have to offer?

Hatred, murder, death.

But Jesus spoke about
loving our enemies.

The answer to
darkness, is light.

Jesus preached the antidote
to hatred; He preached love.

The Light of the
World wants you,

you, Doc, to spread
his message of love.

- So, what, what are you saying?

That He chose me?

- Well, who better to choose

than the biggest atheist of all?

He literally let
you see the light

and now He's asking
you to spread it.

And just like God sent his
only begotten son to earth

with a message of love,
He sent you your son.

Think about that, Doc.

He sent you your boy Davey,
that's how much He loves you.

- Oh my God.

Oh my, oh my, oh my God.

- Doc, He is your God

and He's holding
out his hand to you.

All you gotta do now is take it.

- Baptism is a public
proclamation of
faith for all to see

and that's so nobody can cop
out and say it never happened.

Sol, are you ready to
admit that you're a sinner

and repent of your sins?
- Yes.

- And are you ready
to accept Jesus Christ

as your Lord and Savior?

- Yes.

- In the name of the
Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

- Woo hoo!

- Yes!

Woo!
- So?

You feel any different?

Ya, Dad, do you feel
stronger, smarter, faster?

- I think I'm faster than you.

- Catch me if you can.
- Come back here!

You think you can outrun me?
- Yes, I do.

- Careful, Mom.

One day at a time.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Dad?
- Ya?

- So what's it like to
have a transformation,

like what you just did?

I mean, how do you
know it's real?

- Because it is.

- How do you know
it was God's love

and not just your imagination?

I mean, you and Mom made
vows and, then broke them.

- You really go for
the jugular, don't you, kid?

- Just trying to be realistic.

You know she still prays
for you every night.

Never stopped.

- Do you believe that God hears?

- Of course I do.

- Katy, Conner, could you come
in here for a second please?

I uh,

I owe you guys an apology.

- Sol, you don't have to.

- Yes.

Yes, I do.

You see, for a long
time I made fun

of all you guys' faith.

I couldn't understand it.

You know, I didn't even

want to try to understand it.

I was too wrapped
up in my own ego.

But you never gave
up on me, Katy.

For that, I am
eternally grateful.

I told you that I
saw your brother.

And all I can tell you is,

is that he's safe.

It's really beautiful
where he is.

- You know, Dad, if
you think about it,

it's kinda like Davey
saved your soul.

- You know, I never
thought of that.

He did.

He did, he saved my soul.

You know, he looked at me and
he said, "Let there be light."

- Why?

Was it dark?

- No, doofus.

Jesus was the
Light of the World.

It means that Dad is supposed
to spread the light of Jesus.

- Oh, cool.

Wait, Dad?

- And I finally
realized the truth

of what I saw and felt.

- So, did it
change your beliefs?

- Yes, absolutely.

Oh, and these, are the
letters that saved my life.

- Lesbian, trans, bi--
- No, no, no.

It's, it's let there be light.

That's what my son said to me.

When he said that I felt
the most perfect love

I've ever felt in my life.

- The author of Aborting God--
- Has been saved

by the love of Jesus
Christ, absolutely.

- So, why should
people read your books?

- They shouldn't.

- Wow!

I mean, the world's
biggest atheist

just had a come-to-Jesus moment.

I have a story to file
and a deadline to meet.

Thank you for giving
me the exclusive.

- You're welcome.

- Wow.

- It was nice meeting you.

- Well, I must say,
if I would've known

that you were going to
torpedo your career,

I would've booked
you on 60 Minutes.

Saved by the love
of Jesus Christ.

I've never heard
anything so absurd.

I hope your friend Jesus can
get your next deal for you

because I know I
certainly can't.

As a client, you are fired.

- I understand, Norm.

But hey, at least we can
still be friends, right?

- Solomon, we were
never friends.

Ours was a business arrangement.

I tolerated your
egregious behavior

because you made
me a lot of money.

But now you're just
a bible thumper

hell-bent on destroying
all of my hard work.

This relationship with
Jesus has made you toxic

and completely unsellable.

You might as well have
died in that car accident.

You're dead to me.

- Would you like a Miracle Mop?

- You know, I liked you
better when you were drunk.

- I bought a dozen of 'em.

Hey, Norm.

Oh.

Hello?
- Oh, hey, Katy.

- Oh.

What's up with Norm?

He didn't' seem to be
his usual chatty self.

- Ya, he wasn't too happy
about my conversion.

So, he fired me.

- Oh.

I'm sorry?

- Nah, don't be sorry.

You want something to drink?

- You're kidding, right?

- I got raspberry iced tea,
I got decaf lemon iced tea,

I've got passion fruit iced tea.

- That is a lot of iced tea.

- It's really good iced tea.

You want one?

- No, thank you, but
you go right ahead.

So, Sol, you know how you've
been racking your brains

trying to figure out what
let there be light means

and what to do about it?
- Ya.

- What if it's as
simple as this?

- Just turn on your
flashlight app?

- No, on the darkest
night of the year,

people go outside and they
shine their flashlights

up to heaven, lighting
up the darkness.

- So,

what we'd actually have

is a band of light

slowly encircling the earth.
- Yes!

And we can synchronize
it with an app.

And we'll contact
NASA and ask them

to shoot satellite images,

like a selfie for God.
- Let there be light.

- And there's a
social media component

because we'll have people
standing by in chat rooms.

volunteers from churches
from all of the world,

answering people's
questions about Christ.

They'll be digital missionaries.

- So you wanna proselytize?
- Absolutely.

And without apology.

We should be proselytizing life

with as much vigor as
ISIS proselytizes death.

Sol,

you cannot defeat an ideology
on the battlefield alone.

- To beat an ideology of evil,

you need an ideology of good.
- Yes.

- Let there be light.

L-T-B-L.
- L-T-B-L.

Oh, and there's a
part of the app where

if you text L-T-B-L
or something,

then you're donating to
your local food bank.

- So, you'd be feeding people

literally and spiritually.
- Sure.

- I like it.

- Me too.

- Huh.

Speaking of feeding people,

would you like to go out to
dinner some time next week?

- Well, the boys would love it.

I mean, especially
if it's Chick Fil A.

- I don't mean
you and me and the boys.

I just, I just mean you and me.

- What, like a date?
- No, it's not a date.

It's just dinner.

- Well, if you put
it that way, um,

You gonna take me
some place nice?

- Ya.

- All right then.

- All right then.

- If you ask me, this is just

another Sol Harkens
publicity stunt,

and I for one, don't wanna
be suckered in to believing

that Sol Harkens, the
biggest atheist in the world,

has suddenly, pardon
the pun, seen the light.

Now, I am a Christian and
I am called on to forgive,

but it's going to take more

than a phone app
to change my mind.

- Wow, you have burned
a lot of bridges

with the Christian outlets.

The other outlets, they
couldn't care less.

- Ya, you know, but I get it.

We just have to keep trying.

You know, it's all about
the message, right?

- Right.

And it's only the beginning.

- Ya.

Well thank you for a
very good day, Tracee.

And um, is everything
set for tonight?

- All under control.

But I want a full report.

Okay?
- All right, you got it.

I'll walk you to the door.
- Okay.

You know,
when Norm dumped you,

I had to rethink my priorities.

I mean, I was raised
in the church,

but somewhere along
the way, I don't know,

I guess it just wasn't cool.

You've reintroduced
me to my faith

and I wanna thank you for that.

We're gonna work it out.
- I know we will.

Oh, here.

- What's that?

- Have a Wipe Wowie.

It won't cleanse your soul,

but it does soak up 200
times its weight in liquid.

- You got problems.

Bye.
- Bye.

- Hello, father.

- Hello father?

That's a little
formal, isn't it?

- She'll be down in a minute.

- Okay.

- You do realize that
this is a school night?

I expect her back
here by 10 o'clock.

- I, I, I see.

- Sharp.

- 10 o'clock sharp.

- We clear on that?
- Crystal.

- Good.

- Good.

Can I come in?

- This is date is like a
really big deal to Mom.

- Well, it is to me too.

- I want you to know that
I wasn't in favor of it.

You said all the right things,
made all the right moves,

but a leopard doesn't change
its stripes that easily.

- It's spots.
- Whatever, Dad.

You get my drift;
don't be a jerk.

- Okay.

- Oh, hi.

- Wow.

Mom.

- Wow.

- Thank you.

What are you guys
doing out here?

- Oh, just father
and son conversation.

- Baseball.
- Hoops.

- That sort of thing.
- Ya.

- All right.

Um, dinner's on the table.
- Thank you.

- And uh, I'll see you later.
- Okay.

- We'll see you later.

- Dad?

- Huh?

- 10 o'clock, sharp.

- Where are you taking me, Sol?

You promised me a restaurant.

- No, I said dinner.

- Ya, at a nice restaurant.

- This is a restaurant.

This is a very small
and exclusive restaurant

that just opened.

- Oh, for heavenly days.

It's beautiful.

- Shall we?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- This is amazing.

- You're amazing.

To you.

- To us.

And, by that I mean,

you know, that we're working
on this project together,

that us, that's...

I didn't mean to imply
there was a different us.

- It's that us.

I think,

when it comes to two people,

it boils down to two lines.

One is from Bob Dylan and the
other is from Leonard Cohen.

Not exactly Matthew and John,

but we're talking
baby steps, right?

- I have no idea
what we're talking

about right now.

- Well, maybe, they're the
most important two things

that can be said between
a man and a woman.

I don't know, but one is,

I'll be with you when
the deal goes down.

The other,

is simply hallelujah.

Praise God.

Katy, will you do
me the unbelievable

and totally

undeserved honor

of becoming my wife,

again?

Hey, hey, come here.

- What?

- Don't go in the house yet.

- Why?

- Because there are
children in there.

They are the enemy.

I want you to myself for
a little while longer.

- Hello?

10:30, school night.

Thought we had an understanding?

- Well, I think we're about
to have a new understanding.

Is your brother awake?

- I think you're
changing the subject.

- What's that thing about
spare the rod, spoil the Gus?

- Gus, darling, if
your brother's asleep,

would you wake him up please?

We need to have a
chat with both of you.

- I'm ready to ground 'em.

- That's a good start.

- This better be good.

- That's what I said.

- Now this might seem like
we're reversing things a bit,

but since your mom
and I got divorced,

you two have been the
men of the family.

But, well, what I want to say

doesn't just affect
your mom and me,

it affects the both
of you as well.

- You're gonna
cut our allowance?

- I, I've asked for
your mother's hand in marriage.

I want her to take me
back as her husband.

Now, look, we're adults.

We don't need anybody's
permission here.

So, what I would like
is to have your blessing.

I want us to be a family again.

- This is a little
sudden, don't you think?

- Did she say yes?

- You know,
you two are treading

on really thin ice here.

- Wait, so you're
moving back in?

- Well, once your mom
and I are married, yes.

- Yes! Awesome!

- Yay.

- Gus?

- Psych, absolutely!

I'm just bustin' your chops.

- The three men I love the most.

- So you guys are
cool with this?

- Probably calls for
a raise in allowance.

- Probably calls
for a raise in a.

- Mom?

- It probably calls for a rai--

- Katy?

- Mom?

Katy!

- Mom!
- Mom!

- Dad, what's happening to mom?

- Gus, call 911!

- Dad, what's wrong with mom?

- Katy!

- Here they come.
- What just happened?

- Dad, is mom gonna be okay?

- Absolutely.

- That's what happened
to Davey, Dad.

He had a seizure just like that.

- What?

- Gus.
- What?

- You and your brother
say a prayer for your mom.

I'll call you from the hospital.

- Dad!

God's not gonna let this
happen again, is He?

- I don't know.

That's where those
prayers of yours come in.

Just,

just go back inside.
- Okay, Dad.

- Bed is secured.
- Okay.

- I'm here, Katy.

It's my turn to
take care of you.

- I'm Dr. Corey.

- Nice to meet you, doctor.

- Hi.

- How you doing today, Katy?

- Well, uh, I don't
actually know.

Why don't you tell me?

- We've had a chance to study
the MRI and the CT scan,

and we've gotten a
pretty detailed look
at your blood work.

- Doctor, what is
your specialty?

- I'm an oncologist.

- Oh no.

- It was me.

I gave it to him,
didn't I, doctor?

I gave our son cancer.

- You didn't give your
son cancer, ma'am.

The blood work indicates

that you have
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.

- This syndrome is what
caused the seizure?

- No.

People with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome

are susceptible to
various types of cancer,

including brain tumors,
which, I'm afraid,

is what you have.

It's a stage four cancer.

- Stage four?

- Oh, okay, what are
my chances, doctor?

And, please don't sugarcoat it.

I'm a big girl and I've
got decisions to make

and I need to know.

- The prospects

are not good.

This is a very virulent tumor.

It's quite advanced.

The tumor has interwoven

with normal brain
cells, to such an extent

that I would not
recommend surgery.

There is an
experimental protocol

that involves chemotherapy.

I don't think we'd be
talking about a cure.

I think we'd be talking about
buying you some extra time.

- Huh.

- Okay, okay, what about
this experimental program?

And somebody must have
survived this thing.

- 5%.

Maybe less.

- Okay then.

She's gonna be part of that 5%.

That's all.

This is the strongest woman

I've ever met in
my life, doctor.

She makes miracles happen.

- Um, aside from
being in the hospital

and having just had a
seizure, I feel fine.

So my question is,
how long do I have

before I don't
feel fine anymore?

- I wish that I could give you

more exact answers,
Mrs. Harkens.

But, I just can't.

We do have drugs that can
keep you more comfortable

once the pain sets in.

- That's not what
I'm thinking about.

I'm thinking

about planning a
wedding, not a funeral.

Sol, there are three things
I need to focus on now.

Preparing

for eternity,

ensuring the success
of Let There Be Light,

and most importantly
loving on my boys and you.

Thank you so much, doctor.

- I'm sorry I didn't
have better news.

- You know, when I heard that
the world's greatest atheist

had found Christ and was
remarrying his Christian wife,

I knew I just had to
sing at their wedding.

Pastor vinny, take it away.

- And so, we are
gathered here today

to celebrate the love
of Katy and Sol, again.

Do we have the rings?

- Yes.

- Now these rings,
like the love of God,

have no beginning and they
certainly have no end.

Now, Sol, I want you to place
the ring on Katy's finger

and repeat after me.

- I, Sol, do take
this woman, Katy.

- I, Sol, do take
this woman, Katy.

- To be my lawfully wedded
wife, forsaking all others.

- To be my lawfully wedded
wife, forsaking all others.

- For richer or for poorer,
for better or for worse,

in sickness and in health,
until death do you part.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can
knock out that last bit.

I've been there, I've done that.

Death gets no say in this.

But, for as my answer, I do.

- Well that goes for
me too; I do also.

- Well, then let's
get to the good part.

By the power vested in me,
from the court on high,

and from the court of man,

I now pronounce
you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.
- That's the best part.

- Yay.

- Sorry, I'll turn it off.

Oh!

I cannot turn this off, sorry.

Got take it.

Woo, hello?

This is Tracee.

Uh huh.

You're kidding?

Um, yes.

Absolutely.

Well, ya, they just got married.

You look great, by the way.

You guys are awesome.

Ya, but they will be there.

Mm hm.

Oh, thank you so much!

Okay, sorry.

Change of honeymoon plans.

You two are doing
Sean Hannity tomorrow!

- You're kidding?

- 14 million listeners.

Three million viewers.

That's radio and
television, baby.

Imagine the exposure
for your app.

You can't buy that
kind of coverage.

- That's a pretty
good gift.

- You're welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

- All right, so my
first question is

are you guys ready
for the amount of heat

that'll be coming
your way with this?

- I think we can handle it.

- Well, I hope so,
because you're intention

is to proselytize?
- Yes!

We want to reach everyone.
- You're literally going

to try and convert
kids to Christianity.

What about diversity?

What right do you have to
impose your religious values

on to somebody else?

- Well, what right does ISIS
have to cut people's heads off?

- That's a powerful point.

- We just want to
feed the hungry.

We wanna spread light
into the darkness

and hope into despair,
and love into hatred.

Really, the only
realistic way to do that

is with the message
of Jesus Christ.

- We just wanna give
everyone the opportunity

to speak to somebody
about the love of Christ.

They can make their
own decisions.

And unlike ISIS, this is not
a convert or die proposition.

- Here's my question,

do you have a media partner?

Is there anybody out
there on Christmas Eve

that's gonna show
this band of light

going around the entire globe?

Is anybody covering this?

- Well, uh, so far,
no one's covering it.

Not even a little bit.

- Well that's gonna
change right now.

I can do it on my network.

We're in every country,
and on Christmas Eve

we could do a three hour special

to show this band of
light as it makes its way

around the globe through
the different time zones.

We could literally
cover each country,

each section of the world,

and get that message out.

- That's awesome.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- That's a pretty
good wedding present.

- All right.

Goodnight my sweet boys.

- Goodnight.

- Mom?

- Yes, sweetheart.

- Are you gonna get better?

- I think I'm pretty
good right now.

- You know what I mean.

- We've been praying, Mom.

- I know you have, sweety.

And don't think I haven't
felt those prayers,

because I have.

They're what give me strength.

- Then God'll answer
our prayers, right?

- God always answers prayers.

Sometimes

we just don't
understand the answers.

- Doesn't make any sense.

- How many times did Jesus pray
in the garden of Gethsemane?

- Three times.

- And what did He pray for?

- That God would
lift his burden.

- That He wouldn't have to die.

- He prayed for God's
will to be done.

It was God's will and God's plan

that Jesus' life and
what we call death

would bring salvation
for all mankind.

So, did God answer
Jesus' prayers?

- I guess so.
- Mm hm.

- What did your daddy see
when he almost died, Conner?

- He saw Davey.

- Mm hm.

And how did Davey look to him?

- Happy.

- Peaceful.

- Yes, that's right.

So, there's nothing to
be afraid of, is there?

- I don't care about heaven, I
don't want you to die, Mommy.

- Oh honey, I don't believe

there's any such thing as death.

When I'm in the next room and
you can't see me, am I dead?

Or, am I just in the next room?

- You're just in the next room.

- Mm hm.

Just in the next room.

Still loving you, still
watching over you.

It's time to get some sleep.

I'll just be in the next room.

Goodnight my sweet boys.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- Three, two...

- And welcome back
to our three hour

special edition of
Hannity where tonight,

history is being made
all over the world.

Now I'm sure by now,
everyone has heard

the incredible story
of Sol and Katy Harkens

and their Let There
Be Light project.

Well at 3:00 a.m. this
morning, on Christmas Island,

a band of light,
visible from outer space

began to move around the world.

From New Zealand to
Russia, to Australia,

Japan, and even
amazingly in North Korea.

How did anybody in North
Korea hear about this?

And with us tonight, from
their home in Connecticut

are Sol and Katy Harkens
and Sally Darwan,

the head of NewCom High-Tech,

now they designed the app

that is making this
extraordinary night possible.

Now, Sally, you did more
than just design the app,

you have a pretty remarkable
story of your own.

Tell us about it.
- That's right, Sean.

I don't believe
that Sol and Katy

just showed up at our
company by accident.

I do believe that
they were sent to me.

- Well,
tell me about that.

How so?

- You see, Sean, I
was born in Pakistan.

I was forced into a
marriage by my father

when I was 14, to a brutal man.

He used to beat me.

And when I ran to my
father for protection,

he beat me for
disobeying my husband.

And when I said I
would leave him,

I was told that I
would be killed.

An honor killing.

I came to America and I
was quite literally saved

by the love of Christ.

And I can't think
of a better way

to honor my Father in heaven,

and I can't think of a more
meaningful Christmas Eve

than spending it with
you, your audience,

Sol and Katy, their
children, their neighbors,

who've all showed up
for this amazing event.

- Sol?

- What is it, baby?

You okay?

- I love you so much.

I'm sorry for ever being unkind

or any harsh words.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Nothing you ever
did could compare

to the sins I've
had against you.

You are the love of my life.

- Merry Christmas, darling.

- Merry Christmas, Bonny Kate.

- It's almost time.

- All right, hello, New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut,

all the way down to Florida.

Ladies and gentlemen,
you have been watching

a modern-day Christmas
miracle tonight,

as a band of light has
spread aptly enough,

beginning at Christmas Island

and literally now
spanning the globe.

Not a thousand points of light,

but millions of points
of light have lit up

the darkness around
the world, in Iran,

in ISIS-occupied territories,
in the Middle East,

even China, North Korea.

Beacons of light and faith

have spread a four word
message of hope for many.

Now we're gonna leave
you with some images

from this amazing event that
began, fittingly enough,

with the clinical death
and a spiritual rebirth.

I'm Sean Hannity.
- Ten.

- I wanna wish you.
- Nine.

- And your family.
- Eight.

- A very very merry Christmas.
- Seven, six.

- And as leave you.
- Five.

- On this Christmas Eve.
- Four, three.

- May there finally be.
- Two, one.

- Peace on earth.

And yes, let there be light.
