Take a deep breath and hold it.

Breathe.

All right, Mr. Bragg, you're all done. Let me get those electrodes and your IV.

Well, Mr. Bragg, I'm certainly glad Dr. Ackerley scheduled a CT angiogram.

Your scan shows severe blockages of both the right coronary artery and the LAD,

as well as a total occlusion of the left coronary.

Sounds bad.

I'm not going to sugarcoat this.

You're basically a ticking time bomb.

So I guess you'll want to operate.

I'll have you transported to Fulton.

They have one of the best facilities in the Atlanta area for this type of multi

-bypass procedure.

You don't understand. I have to go to a meeting at my work. It's extremely

important that I be there. Someone will have to cover for you.

Can't you just give me something just to time me over for two weeks?

This will temporarily dilate your arteries, increasing the blood flow to

heart.

The first sign of chest pain, take one tablet, let it dissolve under your

tongue.

You can take up to three, one every five minutes in a 15 -minute period.

If that doesn't work, dial 911.

Hi, George.

Mr. Bragg, a little later today.

A little.

The usual?

Yep. I'll see you at the window.

Thanks. Oh, hey, George?

Yes? Better make it a decap.

Jim Bragg.

Yes, Charlie.

Hi, Charlie.

Jim, who are you?

I didn't let you know I had a doctor's appointment this morning. No.

I'm so sorry. I had a lot on my mind recently.

We need a face -to -face.

I'm almost there.

Okay. I'll call you as soon as that gets to my office.

Okay.

See you shortly.

I do this every morning.

Coffee's organic.

Won't harm the plant.

Actually, I think it helps.

Nine, please.

Nine.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

Sir, step to the mat.

Arms up.

Sir, I need you to keep your hands in the air.

Bill, that's Mr.

Bright. He's okay.

How'd those get in there?

Good morning, Mr. Bragg. Good morning, Amanda.

I'm sorry. He's new.

Yeah, I didn't think I recognized him.

You're a little later than usual.

I had a doctor's appointment.

Oh, I hope everything's all right. Just to check up.

Very good, sir. All right.

Have a nice day. Thank you.

Oh, Amanda, the gentleman that went through before me, did you know him? I'm

sorry?

Shorter, African -American, older man?

No, sir. That's the first I'd seen him.

Who was he?

Mr. Bragg. You know I can't discuss his identity with you.

Thank you, Amanda.

Okay, have a nice day.

You too.

I've been trying to say something else.

Good morning, Mr. Bragg. Jim, please.

Glad you could make it.

Doctor appointments.

So back to seeing.

Yeah.

Charlie? It's Jim.

I'm here.

I don't see the problem.

Sally and I are fine. We're getting by on savings.

Jim, you know the policy.

Financial trouble is seen as a potential security risk.

Are you suggesting that? I'm not suggesting anything.

Charlie, we're not spies. We just sell cybersecurity services.

Yes, but to government agencies, foreign and domestic.

And we do so under federal authority.

So Uncle Sam and our other clients insist we treat you guys as if you were

operatives. They can only assume that we're going to sell out.

We all have background checks. We all have confidential clearance.

Just like Richard Miller?

Just like John Walker?

Miller was an FBI agent who had financial trouble and sold Amway out of

trunk.

Need I remind you that D &B is in these modest offices just to keep a low

profile?

Look, Jim, consider this an off -the -record warning, but you have got

to land a new contract soon.

I know.

I understand.

I'm meeting with the Jamaican consulate next week to finalize details on their

package. I didn't know we had a Jamaican consulate in Atlanta.

It's very small, and the consul is very young.

When is the next meeting?

Wednesday, a .m.

And we have a dinner the night before in Canton.

Canton?

Keeping a low profile.

It's at a little restaurant called Backlot Java.

A coffee shop?

Yeah, it specializes in Blue Mountain.

It has a limited menu, but the consul loves the Jamaican coffee.

Is that new?

Yes, the USS Constellation.

It's a birthday present from Sally.

You served on the carrier Constellation, didn't you?

I think so, right before she was decommissioned.

That's why Sally gave me the painting.

Been a long time since our date at the Naval Academy, huh?

Feels long.

Jim, our friendship is very important to me.

But so is D &B.

30 years ago, when George Albert and I started this company, things were a lot

different.

Since 9 -11, the rules have changed.

And as much as I may want to make exceptions, I can't.

There's a reason why Davis

Comes first of the company name.

Excuse me, Charlie.

Well, I guess we're finished here.

Sorry.

How are you doing?

Hey, Mr. Bragg.

It's me, Leonard.

You startled me, Leonard.

Sorry I scared you. Making a lot of racket working on the servers.

Thought you knew I was in here.

No.

Maybe a little hard of hearing?

Millennials. Excuse me?

Nothing.

Okay.

Boomer?

Cynthia, Cynthia, I need to go in there.

No. Is that her?

No. See, there was this man, and I think he went in there, and he's acting sort

of suspicious, and I just need to make sure everything's okay.

And you want me to go in there?

Well, I don't want to walk in on somebody.

So here's what we'll do.

I'll open the door.

And you'll just go in there and make sure the coast is clear.

You're safe.

Never mind.

Working late tonight, Commander?

Jeff, please quit calling me that. We're not in the Navy anymore.

You'll always be a commander to me, sir.

It's been 20 years.

For you.

I only retired this year.

How are you liking your new job?

Well, sir, I'm still getting my feet wet.

But I want to thank you again for putting in a good word for me.

Absolutely.

Sir.

Yes, Jeff?

We hear a lot of things at this post.

and we mainly keep them to ourselves.

As you should.

But the rumor is that you're having a rough time.

That is, I mean, at work.

And I just want to let you know that I'm pulling for you, Commander.

Thank you, Master Chief.

Carry on.

Good night, Jim.

Good night, Jeff.

Come on, Sally.

It caught short.

Experts indicate that you'll need one to one and a half times your yearly income

saved by age 35.

What the...

How's

my trophy, wife? Oh, you startled me.

And is that what you think of me?

Well, that's what they call younger women that are married to older men,

It's what they call wives who have no merit except their beauty.

Well, you're beautiful.

So, how'd your doctor's appointment go?

He was young. Why this sudden obsession with age?

I just don't like being treated by Doogie Howser.

He's supposed to be one of the best cardiologists.

So they say.

So? So what?

What did he say?

He said, I'm fine.

What about your symptoms?

He said, they're nothing to worry about.

He did mention that he probably wants to do some additional tests in a couple of

weeks, and it may require a hospital stay.

That doesn't sound like you're okay.

Well, he didn't seem too concerned.

It's my turn to cook.

I'm so sorry.

You can take tomorrow.

It turns out we have a faculty meeting after school.

So it actually works out better.

Well, what can I do to help?

Oh, boy.

Do you have any plans this Sunday?

Not this again.

Sweetheart, you...

Look, Sally, I'm just not interested.

You know, ever since you started going to that church, it's like I'm not

You're everything to me.

And I thought you felt the same about me.

Jim, I love you more than anyone in the world.

It's just that I've realized there's more to life than this world.

And I want to share what I found with you.

So, would you like to go with me?

I'll think about it.

If you'll stop changing my car radio to that legislation.

Deal.

Are you sure you're alright?

Yeah, I'm just really tired. It's been a long day.

As a matter of fact, um...

After I do the dishes, I think I'm going to turn in if that's all right.

Sure. And don't worry about the dishes.

I've got them.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Good night.

I'm praying for you.

It's good to see you, man. It's good to see you, too, but please.

So, Council Williams, I was surprised to see that the ladies aren't in Jamaican

dress.

So the quadrille just brings too much attention.

So under the circumstances, we think it best we just dress like the locals.

Hi, I'm Jared. Welcome to Bangalore, Java. Can I start off with some of your

drink?

We'll take Blue Mountain Coffee.

Be careful.

No, the real thing.

Very good. How does that point out?

Hello?

Mm -hmm.

Really? All right, all right, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Mr. Consulate, the baby, Mr. Taft. My friend, man.

Mr. Brad, thank you so much.

Sally's really needing you.

Sally? Jim, I need to go to the powder room. Okay.

Please excuse me, everyone.

All right, so Mr. Burke, I'm talking to Ambassador Garden in the embassy in

Washington.

I need to approve your company's request for additional security services at the

Atlanta consulate.

Excellent. But please call me Jeff.

However, I insist that we strengthen the agreement's wording concerning the

subordination of the Davis -Miller and the Brown team to the Jamaican security

director. Absolutely. And we can flesh out those details at the meeting in the

morning. All right. Excellent.

Excellent, Mr. Burke.

You don't want to tell me.

It's not that I don't want to.

I just can't.

I think I've seen him before.

When? Last week.

Where? At the office.

Oh.

Last time.

Who is he?

Jim, I think you need to slow down.

Are you trying to change the subject? No.

I'll tell you about him when the time is right.

And you need to slow down.

I've driven this way a thousand times. Not at night.

You know I have to get home. I've got to get a good night's sleep.

I know.

The meeting and the morning and all that.

Jim? Yes?

I know about the foreclosure.

We're going to be fine.

I just need our luck to change.

I'm not worried.

I know you believe in all that stuff.

Jim, to me, life's more than luck.

Whatever happens, I know someone is looking out for us.

I hope you're right.

You know that Constable Williams?

He's very young.

There you go again.

Excuse me, mister.

The lady in the car, is she your wife?

Is she okay?

Do you know her blood type?

You know, that other car just came out of nowhere. I don't know what was... The

EMTs need her blood type.

Officer Byrne, don't bother. She's not going to make it.

Do I know you?

I'm Special Agent Beale.

How are men of Homeland Security?

I was driving by, saw the accident, and thought I'd stop, see if I could help.

Before Homeland Security, I was a police officer, worked in Bunko, sort of my

trademark.

Listen, have you seen any suspicious persons hanging around here?

No, sir.

And what about the other driver and the other car?

We're still looking for the other driver and the car.

We figured it landed in the woods over there, but the strangest thing is

that there are no skid marks or tracks leading off the road.

I mean, I guess it could have been a hit and run, but based off the damage to

his car, I don't see how.

It's almost as if the driver and then the car disappeared.

She's gone.

We are gathered here today in remembrance of Sally Bragg.

The Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, We are always confident,

knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. For

we walk by faith, not by sight.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to

present with the Lord.

Sally's no longer with us.

She's with the Lord.

She had only been a Christian for a short while, less than a year.

I met her when a friend from work invited her to church.

Everything about the Lord was new to her.

But I could tell that something had piqued her interest, and I knew that the

Holy Spirit was at work.

I was thrilled when one morning, just at the close of service, she made her way

down front to make her commitment to Christ.

And once that commitment was made,

Not only did Jesus become her Lord, but her life.

Now, Sally loved her friends and family, especially her husband, Jim.

She was always praying for them and looking for an opportunity to share the

gospel with them.

Life doesn't always work out the way that we want it to or the way that we

that it should.

And I don't have any easy answers for tragedies like this one.

But I do know that Sally is, right now, the happiest she's ever been.

If you look around here, you can literally see scores of tombstones and

markers.

Since this is a church cemetery, we can assume that most buried here were

Christians.

Inevitably, some were not.

Someday, maybe soon, Jesus will return, and these buried bodies will be raised.

some to eternal life, and some to eternal punishment.

But we are so grateful that Sally will be among that first group. Amen?

Amen.

For as much as it pleased Almighty God to take the spirit of Sally Bragg, we

therefore commit her body to the ground, looking for that blessed hope.

When Jesus Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the

archangel, and with a mighty trump of God, And the dead in Christ will be

first. And we who believe and remain alive will be caught up with Him in the

clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And so, we will all be with Him forever.

Let us pray.

We went to church with daily. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.

Jim, I'm so sorry.

I know how much you loved her.

Jim, I don't know what to say.

Thanks for coming, Charlie. I appreciate it.

You take all the time you need.

I mean, we've got things covered at the office. Okay.

And we'll talk when you get back.

Thanks.

Jim?

Sally talks about you all the time.

And I know how much she loved you. I cannot imagine how deeply you're

You know, I listened to that sermon or that talk or whatever you call it.

I hope it helped. You have no idea what I'm going through.

All that talk about God's love, there even is a God.

If he would let something like that happen to Sally, somebody who claimed to

love him, I don't want anything to do with that kind of God.

Marie, would you come into my office, please?

Yes, sir.

Would you mind reshelving these? I'm finished with them. Sure.

Will there be anything else?

Yes. Ask Mr. Bragg to come in, please.

Will do.

Hello, Jim. Richard.

Have a seat.

May I get you anything?

Coke? Coffee? Water? No, thank you.

Jim, I'm surprised to see you so soon after the accident.

I'm fine.

I was so sorry when I heard the news.

Richard, she told me to slow down.

Jim, how long have I been your attorney?

Over 20 years.

And for someone who has known you for such a long time, I'm telling you.

You've got to let this go.

Don't you have someone you can talk to, a counselor?

I know y 'all couldn't have kids, but don't you have another family member, a

brother or sister?

I haven't talked to my brother in over 25 years.

He never even knew Sally. I doubt he'd want to talk to me now.

Sally got religion, didn't she?

How about a minister or a priest?

I'm not wasting one more minute talking to that guy.

This is not your fault, Jim.

Look at me, Richard.

Not a scratch.

She told me to slow down.

You keep going like this, you're going to end up in the hospital or worse.

We're ready, Marie.

Jim, since Sally had a living trust, there will be no probate.

So this is a very simple procedure to get her status settled.

There's a few documents you will need to sign, and Marie will walk us through

this today.

Mr. Gregg, first of all, please accept my condolences for the loss of your

Thank you.

If you'll take a look in your folder, the first form is the affidavit of

successor trustee.

Please take a moment to read through it and let me know if you have any

questions.

Jim, I love you more than anyone in the world.

It's just that I've realized there's more to life than this world.

To me, life's more than long.

Whatever happens, I know someone is looking out for me.

I got it.

Who was that?

It's not important.

Sally, who was that?

You don't know him.

Obviously, but you're upset. So who was he?

I met him a few days ago. He came to the school.

They let strangers in the classrooms now. No, I met him in the teacher's

He's a teacher?

No.

Hello?

This is he.

Oh, hey.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

How'd you find out?

I never read the obituaries.

Yes, I am still good for the surgery next week at Fulton.

Okay. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Thank you.

Good night.

I request Jim's salvation and his safety.

Morning, George.

Good morning, Mr. Bragg. You've been in my age. Yeah, it's a long story.

Well, I hope everything's okay.

I'm fine.

I'm glad to hear it. The usual?

Yes, please.

Decaf?

Unfortunately.

I'll see you at the window.

All right.

Be careful, sir. It's hot. Thank you.

Hey, new ride?

I love a coupe.

And it looks like it's a stick, too.

But it's fun to drive.

Well, that'll be $2 .97.

As usual.

Good to see you, sir.

And, Mr. Bragg, I don't know what's going on. It's probably none of my

but I just want you to know that I'm praying for you. You have a blessed day.

Thank you.

Hey, can you go... Sam, sorry to hear about Sally. How are you doing?

I'm fine, Joe. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Good morning, Mr. Brack. Did you notice... I'm so sorry to hear about Mr.

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. But did you notice a man come through the

metal detector?

He set it off and just kept going. No, sir. Are you certain? Yes, sir. No one's

passed through without clearing.

Sir,

your badge.

Hi.

Thank you.

Come

on,

Charlie.

Charlie!

I was just trying to call you. Jim?

I'm surprised to see you back so soon.

Charlie, listen, there's something going on. I thought it was my imagination at

first because of all the stress I've been under. But there's this guy and I

just... Sorry, but I really need to get this over with.

Jim, this isn't easy.

Especially now.

But I have to let you go.

Wait.

You're firing me?

When you didn't make it to the Jamaican closing, Juanita had to step in.

Since she finalized the deal, Per company policy, she was awarded the

commission. I was a little tied up. I know, but the policy is clear.

I thought we were friends.

We are.

Shame on you, Charlie. Shame on you.

Jim, I'm sorry.

But you know I wouldn't do this if it wasn't in the company's best interest.

I have a responsibility to our shareholders, not to mention our other

This company... Can

you

stand?

Where am I?

What happened?

Jim. Can you walk? We've got to get going.

I think so.

That was close.

I gotta stop.

We need to keep moving.

I need just a minute.

Who are you, anyway?

Your best friend.

Now, try and stand.

What's your name?

You really don't remember?

I can't even remember my own name.

Everyone calls me Bob.

What kind of name is that?

It's a nickname.

That's not going to hold for long.

Let's go.

All right.

Mom, we need to keep moving.

How long was I out?

A while.

What is this place?

It's the office building where you work.

What do I do?

You can't remember?

So what happened?

An explosion.

I didn't hear an explosion.

You know what they say, you only need to worry about the ones you don't hear.

What?

IEDs?

Improvised explosive devices, like in Afghanistan?

Were you in the war?

You might say so.

So if this is an office building, where are all the other people? There should

be other people, right? Or at least bodies.

They're gone.

Gone where?

Just gone. Look, you and I will have plenty of time to talk later.

Right now, we need to head down.

You look familiar.

Well, you took a pretty hard fall.

Oh, and what's up with the neck time?

Oh, Jim.

There are more things in this large cosmos than are dreamt of in your

philosophy.

What?

It's my core belief.

The universe is one big crapshoot. You roll the dice, you never know what

get. But you gotta take the chance.

I did.

Thanks, Dad.

Incendiary device, I guess?

If this was a terrorist attack, they'll want to finish the job.

Remove any evidence. Make it seem like an accident.

Bang and burn.

The company you work for is into some pretty shady stuff.

Black ops sort of stuff.

So who did this?

Al -Qaeda.

Boko Haram.

Maybe one of the Mexican drug cartels. Any number of organizations you guys

crossed paths with. How do you know this?

I, uh... I'm a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security.

Undercover. We've known about this threat for some time now.

What are you listening to?

Not what. Who? It's my support team.

What did they say?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Do not follow him.

Move! Move!

The air is clearer in here.

That voice, who was that?

I'm not sure.

Your best guess?

I've been tailing someone.

He's been following you.

Maybe it's the same guy.

Bomber?

Maybe. Why are you being so evasive?

Jim, I didn't want to tell you this.

I think it's better to let your memory return on its own.

Tell me what?

Several weeks ago, you were involved in a car crash.

Yeah?

Your passenger died. You survived.

We've determined it was no accident. It was an attempt to kill you.

My wife?

Sally?

I told you, I didn't want to tell you about this.

What?

Laser sights are targeted.

Drop!

Turn around.

Move! Come on, Jim.

Come on.

I can't keep this up. I gotta stop.

Keep moving.

I can't. I feel faint.

I'm gonna pass out.

No, no, no. Get up. This may be it.

Lights out.

Who was that?

Not important.

Sally, who was that?

You don't know him.

Obviously, but you're upset.

Jim, I need to write something down.

Her request Jim Salvation

and his safety

Get up, Jim.

Come on.

Go.

You don't think I'm starting to remember more.

Told you that death means lights out.

What?

Right before you passed out, you said, this may be it. Lights out.

I don't know. I guess it's just what I believe.

It may not be the end, you know. There are other opinions about death.

Gautama believed that life and death were a continuum.

Gautama?

Yeah, the Buddha.

Continuum?

It's called samsara.

It's a cycle of repeated birth, existence, and death.

Sounds boring.

Things can get better.

Your next life.

You know, karma.

Yeah, karma. So what's that?

Karma is your destiny.

Based on cause and effect.

You do good in this life, your next life is better.

I still don't get it.

Well, it's like this.

Right now, I'm helping you out, right?

So later on, I'll benefit.

I think that kind of sounds like something my wife used to say, Sally.

You reap what you sow.

It's from the Bible.

Don't look at me. I don't believe in that stuff either.

Especially not after what happened here.

At least your memory is returning.

We need to get moving.

Sorry.

Jim. Yeah.

Is that an apiary?

That's what it says.

You know, Homeland Security has access to your OMPF.

It's your military records.

It says you were passed over for promotion and your own ship, you know.

Yeah, I... It didn't seem fair to me.

You know?

I think I'd probably still be in if I had been promoted to captain.

Yeah.

And the OMPF indicated that you were blackballed.

Something about a friend from the Naval Academy?

Apparently he had it in for you.

Charlie?

Stop. Go no further.

Not you again.

He's leading you the wrong way.

Jim, he's the guy.

He planted the bomb. I was arguing with him right before it exploded, trying to

make him tell me where he hid it so I could disarm it. We've got to go that

Jim, and then head down.

Wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction.

And many go through it.

What? But small is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to

life.

And only a few find it.

His way's useless.

Why?

All the lower levels are gone, blown away. We can't get down from there.

Maybe we can go up to the roof and they can rescue us from there. Too narrow.

You want me to know where all the people are?

They're in that stairwell. It's packed with people.

Then what do you suggest?

The elevator is through there.

The elevator.

Look, Bob, or whatever your name is, I may not remember much, but I know you

never use an elevator in a fire.

Jim, it's the only way.

I'm not getting on that elevator.

I could make you.

Are you sure?

The elevator's the only way out.

Jim, buddy, would your best friend mislead you?

He's a terrorist.

What if it was damaged in the explosion?

It's fine.

The same elevator I use every morning.

My office is right over there.

What have we been doing the last hour?

I could be toast.

What are best friends for?

Keep saying that. You seem too young to be my best friend.

There you go again.

What did you say?

Nothing.

How long have we been together?

Why, Jim?

I was there when you were born.

Where's that mean?

Jim.

Don't you know you're Dante?

It means abandon all hope. Ye who enter here.

He's coding.

I'm activating CPR.

Can you call an infirmary, please?

Mr. Bragg. Code blue in room seven. Stay with me, Mr. Bragg.

Hey,

take over.

You need pack.

No. Okay,

I believe we're going to turn.

One, two.

And resuming compressions.

Hold compressions.

Analyzing.

Shock advised.

Stand clear.

Stop the liver. There's no one to pick me up.

Take over compressions, please.

Doctor, we just shot them at 155 degrees.

Thank you.

No,

ma 'am, but we do have IV access.

Let's take them that way.

That B is in.

Good compression.

It looks like B is in.

Let's shock again at 200.

Charging 200 joules.

Stand clear.

Shocking.

Shock delivered. Resume CPR.

Stand by for pulse check.

Pulse check.

We have a pulse with compression.

Okay, let's hold compression.

Now we have a pulse.

Good job, everyone.

Let's cure and call ICU.

Mateo, does he have a cardiologist?

Let me check if he has a narcissist.

That's strange.

It's up here that he had a CT coronary angiogram last week and that Dr. Johnson

ordered immediate surgery for severe blockages.

Okay. Well, I'll call Dr. Johnson.

Okay.

Excuse me, doctor.

I'm Dr. Beal.

He's Dr.

Johnson's patient.

Yes, I'm assisting him.

I'm just about finished here, Nurse Wilson.

But I left the patient's chart at the nurse's station. Would you mind getting

for me? I need to make an entry.

You were warned not to harm him.

Therefore, the Lord Jesus rebuked you.

Doctor, the chart wasn't... Bailiff.

What happened?

Where am I?

You had a heart attack in your office.

You're in the intensive care unit at Fulton Hospital.

I had the craziest dream.

Nightmare, really.

You're okay now.

You were there in my dream.

You've been through a lot.

You almost died.

I've seen you before.

Why were you running away from me that day in the office?

I wasn't.

I was following someone else.

They were running away from me.

It was you who came to our house that night.

Why were you there?

I came to warn her.

Warn her about what?

Who or what are you? My name is Gabe.

I'm a messenger and a guardian.

What kind of messenger?

Jim, Sally had been praying for you. She was concerned about you.

You were there too at the accident, weren't you?

Why were you there?

I had a dual assignment.

To protect you and to escort Sally home.

But you failed because she didn't make it

home.

Jim, I escorted Sally to her eternal home.

Why did you warn her if you weren't going to protect her?

The enemy had a plan to kill someone, but not her.

He wanted you.

I warned Sally so that she could pray for you.

Pray?

Prayer.

The most powerful force in the world.

Did you let her know about her future?

No. It wasn't part of my assignment.

Assignment? Who's pulling your strings?

Well... It's far more complicated than that.

I have free will, and I serve at his pleasure.

Jim, your battle is not between you and other human beings.

It is against the enemy of your soul.

It is against the evil, powerful, spiritual powers that are loose on the

today.

But there are stalwart weapons that can be used in the fight against this enemy.

These are mighty through God.

Even to the pulling down of strongholds.

There is the belt of truth.

The breastplate of righteousness.

The shoes of the gospel of peace.

There is the shield of faith.

the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of

God.

But they're only available to those who are in the kingdom.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

So, assuming I'm not hallucinating,

You protected me. Why didn't you protect Sally?

It was her appointed time.

It was not yours.

Jim, Sally loved you so much.

She was concerned about you, and not just for this present life.

I'm confused.

I'm angry.

I don't think I like you very much.

I know.

What have I got to do?

Well, there are no pat answers.

But you can find what you need to know in here.

Sally's Bible.

Where did you get this?

It's your Bible now.

There's a ribbon there.

Start reading at that section.

What if I have questions?

Well, there'll be someone to answer them.

Okay.

Assuming you're real.

What about that other guy, Bob?

Beelzebub. Oh, he's real, too.

Where did he go?

He left.

In a hurry.

But he's still around.

You thought he was my best friend?

No.

But you'll read about someone who wants to be your true best friend.

We're at 170.

Dr. Patel, we're at 170.

Gabe?

Mr. Bray, it's great to see you awake.

Yeah.

I fully expected to find you on a ventilator.

As I feared, your blockages resulted in a myocardial infarction.

A heart attack, which caused you to pass out.

That explains the nasty bump on your head there.

When the EMTs arrived, they found you semi -conscious but unresponsive.

They found an arrhythmia and used defibrillation to stabilize your heart

Then you experienced V -fib again in the ER.

Well, if I was semi -conscious, that would explain some of the weird details

my dream or whatever you call it.

But here's the really strange part.

Your latest scan...

Showed little to no damage to the heart muscle.

And while the blockages are still there, they have improved somewhat.

Nevertheless, I have scheduled surgery for you first thing in the morning.

If that's okay.

Of course.

Looks like you lucked out on this one.

Maybe it was a little more than luck.

Oh, excuse me, doctor. No, we're finished.

I'll see you first thing in the morning and get some rest. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Glenda Wilson, your ICU nurse. How are you doing today, Mr. Brain?

I'm okay.

Are you in any pain?

Not really.

Can I take the blood pressure? Sure.

120 over 79.

Not bad.

Good.

So you do blood pressure checks the old -fashioned way.

Yes, that's the way I was trained.

Some of us think it's more accurate that way. But some of the younger

professionals do things differently.

But some of them help save your life in the ER.

I understand you're having surgery tomorrow.

Yeah, I just found that out. Okay, I'll start you on the IV that Dr. Johnson

ordered. Okay.

And can you give me your full name and date of birth, please?

James Orson Bragg, May 17, 1964.

You had a birthday a few weeks back. Happy birthday, Mr. Bragg.

Oh, sorry, sir. Are you family? Only family members on the ICU.

I'm a pastor.

Okay, pastor.

This can wait. I'll come back later.

Dr. Roberts, please report to the nurse's station.

Dr. Roberts, nurse's station.

Hi, Jim.

Hi. Is it okay to come in the last time we saw each other? Yes, I'm sorry.

Well, you know, it was a time of grief, and we all react in different ways.

Steve? Yes.

I've been through a lot.

I know.

No, I don't think you do know. I mean, there's more to it than you know.

I'm listening.

Well, when I had the heart attack, I had this really strange dream.

Or vision or something, I don't know what to call it.

There was this man in the dream, and he showed up later.

I mean, here, in the hospital.

What did he say?

He said a lot.

And then he gave you this.

Sally's Bible.

He said I should read it. And if I had any questions,

there'd be somewhere to answer them.

Entertaining angels unaware.

Excuse me?

Oh, it's a verse from Hebrews.

I'm sorry, Jim. It's in the Bible.

Well, I do have questions.

I started reading this part of the Bible called John, and it talks about Jesus.

And the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,

right?

Yeah. What does that mean?

This is a happy time, celebrating love.

All eyes on her, the beautiful bride, as she waits for her beloved.

Joining hands, their hearts and lives,

a solemn promise vowed.

This was God's plan before time began.

A couple forever bound.

When the love starts flowing down.

Touching everything around.

From heaven above.
