All language subtitles for Paree An Unsolved Mystery (2026)_track4_[eng]

I found a song that saved me through time.

A song that opened my life up to things

I couldn't have possibly imagined.

It made me believe

that dreams do come true.

I dreamed of something good

with my dad before he died,

of being a good husband,

a good father,

of writing songs
that could touch the hearts of millions

with the same hope that music gave to me.

And it all came true.

But what comes next
when you've gotten all your dreams?

After all the applause dies down
and the crowds go home,

is there life after
the happily-ever-after?

When it all gets hard again,

when the pain never seems to go away?

What do you do when the only thing

in the whole world you have to hold on to
is a song?

Hey, Bart, the bus is here.

I just got Gracie down for a nap.
You about ready to leave or no?

Well, dang.

Bummer. I mean, I was really
hoping to see Sam before I left.

I wonder where he is.

I was gonna let him borrow my Nano.

Loaded up some sweet new U2,

some Jars,

big band.

Oh, well.

Too bad he's not here.

Yes,

that is too bad.

Hey, big man.

You wanna talk about it?

Why do you always miss the good stuff?

Buddy,

your dad's out working for us, Sam.

But yeah, I'll miss him, too.

I'll be back in two days, okay?

And then you and me, maybe we could...

What should we listen to?

Here, you pick.

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe,

one of the most beloved songs of all time,
shows no signs of slowing down.

As MercyMe's surprise hit
I Can Only Imagine shook the world

and went double platinum.

And here it is, by popular demand,

the song that everyone is talking about,

coming in this week at number one.

...1 Can Only Imagine.

This group reached number four
on the Adult Contemporary radio charts

and soared to number one
in Christian Radio.

Here's MercyMe.

All right.

It's such an honor
to announce the nominees

for the best Christian Artist of the year.

You boys better have that money ready.
If we win, I'm doin' it.

What exactly are we doing, Bartholomew?

He's gotta use whatever we write
in his speech.

And he can't look at it
till he gets on stage.

I'm so not comfortable with this.

Shut up, Robby.

Man, I hope we lose.

And the winner is...

MercyMe for I Can Only Imagine!

Who am I kiddin'?

I'm just a kid from Greenville, Texas,
you know.

I---

My meemaw used to say to me,
she'd say, "Pickles..."

Pickles was her nickname for me.

It's very endearing.

And she would say,

"Sometimes, happily-ever-afters
do come true.”

But then she'd say, "Don't bet on it.
Get a real job,"” you know? So...

Meemaw, God is good. Dreams do come true.

Thank you so much, everyone.
Have a great night.

All right. Easy money, boys. Easy money.
Thank you.

-Hey.
-Hi, I just thought I'd check in on ya.

-We won.
-Again? I'm so proud of you guys!

Babe! That's awesome.

Yeah, we're gonna have to take
another box of these things

to storage if we keep winning.

I'm glad one of us is winning.

Sounds like World War Ill.

That would somehow be easier.

Hey, I know Sam wanted to talk to you.

Sam, you wanna talk to Daddy? Here you go.

-Hey, Dad.
-Hey, Sam.

How's the party going?

Are you having fun, big man?

I barfed.

Is that right?

I won the costume contest.

That's great, bud.

Man, I bet you were a great Legolas.

The bow and arrow, how's your aim?

I shot the white lamp and it broke,

so Mommy took it away.

I never cared for that lamp.

All right, Sam. Say bye to Daddy.

-Bye, Daddy. I love you.
-I love you too, big man.

Hi. I'm back. I'm outta gas, man.

Hang in there, Shannon.

Just another tour, couple more albums

and we're gonna be set.

You know, I think that's what you said
last tour.

Yeah, that's fair.

And great. Someone gave Sam back
his bow and arrow.

I gotta go. Love you, Millard.

You too, M...

I want you to go chase your dream.

And I want you to catch it.

I promise.

I caught my dream, Dad.

I miss you.

-Hey, babe.
-Bart?

-Shannon, what's going on?
-I can't get Sam to wake up.

-What?
-I can't get Sam to wake up!

-Baby, Mommy and Daddy are here, okay?
-Coming through.

We're all right here for you. You just
need to keep breathing for me, okay?

Everything is gonna be okay. You're okay.

No, no, I've gotta...

Hi.

-Hey!
-I'm here, baby.

I'm here.

What...

What happened?

He had a seizure... or something,

and now they can't get him to wake up.

I don't really know.

-It's okay.
-Bart, I'm scared.

I know, I know.

Me too.

Paging Dr. Lund, line three.

Dr. Lund, line three.

Mama, I'm thirsty.

Hi!

Baby!

Baby, hi!

Right. So we just...
lower his sugar intake, and then what?

He's got to lose some weight
or something, right?

No. Once again, that is Type 2 diabetes.

Your son has Type 1.

This insulin is life support.

Sam's glucose was 840.

That's 10 times the normal range.

There's another kid here
that's slightly higher than him

that we haven't been able
to stabilize yet.

And if you would have gotten him here
any later,

Sam would have been
in the exact same position.

I wish it could be different

but this is Sam's life now.

It's yours, too.

Do we have to, Daddy?

Yeah, buddy.

I'm afraid we do.

I need your finger, okay?

Okay.

Okay, bud.

Wait, wait, wait.

What do you do when you're scared?

I think everything's a little less scary
with a friend, right?

Watch me.

That's not so bad.

Okay?

It just stings a little bit.

You wanna pick out a song?

Okay.

Pick a good one.

Good choice.

Okay, buddy.

-Hey, hey, it's okay. Good job.
-It's okay. It's okay.

All right, buddy.

-Yep. You're okay.
-Okay.

You're hurting me.

It's okay. Daddy's just trying to help.

Get away from me!

I don't have my phone. I think I left
my phone in the... in the car.

I gotta...

I'm so sorry.

No, no, no.

You're not good enough, Bart.

Dreams don't pay the bills.

Nothing good comes from it.

All it does...

is keep you from all this.

From knowing what's real.

-Wake up!
-Dad, Charlie took my Game Boy!

Give her back her Game Boy.

Give it back!

Hey, Mom's home!

-Mom!
-Mom!

Give it back!

So when were you guys planning on
cleaning up?

It looks like
a neutron bomb went off in here.

All right, everybody. Come on, guys.
Clean-up duty right now. Let's go.

-Come on. Come on.
-Miles.

You're Donald Ducking it again, bro.

-What's that?
-Wear your pants.

Can you go find some pants, please?

-Gracie, could you please help Miles...
-Okay.

-...find some pants?
-You got it, Mom.

-Thank you.
-Miles.

Charlie, clean-up duty. Now.

All over it, Mom.

Back in the old flower chair.

Must have been a hard day.

Any luck writing?

I got nothing.

How was your counseling thing?

Good. Lonely, but good.

You're welcome to step in anytime.

I think it's really helping me,
and I thought you might...

I know, I know.

This is the part where you tell me touring
is the only therapy you'll ever need.

I hope you're right.

How is he?

He hasn't been out of his room.

He's late. Again.

By about 37 minutes.

Mom, Miles needs you.

Why don't you let me handle Sam
and you help the...

And so the thing that I really love
while playing ukulele is trying...

Just keep playing it like that, right?

And then take something away. And then...

There's a surprise right there, right?

If you like what you're watching
and you're...

Hey, man.

Sam.

Can you hear me?

Sorry, what?

You were supposed to check your
blood sugar, like, 40 minutes ago.

You got time for your music,
so make time for your insulin. All right?

Sorry. Yeah,
I just kind of got carried away.

Okay.

Well, how about now?

Yeah. Sorry.

See, Sam, this is why we do this.

You're low.

Come on, eat.

I'm not hungry.

Come on, Sam. I'm not doing this again.
You know what this is, son.

-This is life support.
-Life support.

No, I heard you the first 300 times
that you said it.

Sam.

Hey, look at me.

You said you wanted to handle this
on your own

and this is what that looks like.

Your dad and I can't be here every time...

Okay. Do you think I like grounding you?

Do you think I like
taking your phone away?

Fine.

Sammy, where are you going?

I don't know. Ask him.

He probably has my whole life mapped out
on those charts.

It's Brick. I gotta take this.

Brick, talk to me.

Yep. Yep. On my way.

No.

I will get you, Tim.

That was like, right at my head.

I can't feel my face.

What?

I got the tour.

Babe! That's incredible.

Congrats.

Honey, you've worked so hard for this.

Come here.

I'm so proud of you.

When you least expect it, Tim Timmons!

-Hey.
-Hey.

-I'm sorry it's not more money.
-Don't do that.

This tour is your dream.

It's our dream.

Okay? I'll pick up extra shifts.

-It'll be fine.
-Okay.

You would do the same for me.

Don't.

Okay. Bye.

-Hey, whoa. I know that. What is that?
-No, it...

It's nothing.

You have a big day.

Go! Shoo!

I know what this is.

- I know what this means. You're ready.
-No. Do you?

Yeah. You're ready. Come on.

-Give me your wrist.
-Yeah, no.

-You sure?
-No, no, no.

Still a work in progress over here, bud.

-Okay.
-Ask me again tomorrow.

It's kinda cute to tell you no.

Is it?

For now, you keep your weird rituals
to yourself.

And you keep this stethoscope thingy
handy for later.

Weirdo.

What does that even mean?

I don't know. You're gonna find out.

Hey! No, actually, really.

-What...
-Stop talking.

Got it. Okay.

You took it too far, Timmons.

Two guitars bagged...

You're ready. Ready.

Gentlemen,

with a heavy heart,

Jim is cashin' in.

He wants to spend more time
with his family.

And apparently,
Audio Adrenaline is calling it quits, too,

because Mark's voice can't take
the abuse anymore.

So...

it seems we find ourselves
at the crossroads.

One band member down and no headliner.

So where does that leave us?

We're alone.

Utterly alone.

Well, that was what you call a rhetorical
question, Nathan, but thank you.

Now, the silver linin' here is

that now you boys are the headliner.

Imagine has had more lives
than a stray cat.

But... record sales have not
exactly been stellar as of late.

And we haven't had a hit single
in quite a while now.

So the question is,

are we headliner material?

And I am open to any new ideas, fellas.

He's talking about you, Bart.

You got another hit cookin'?

Be good timing.

He's got nothin'. You don't have anything?

-He's got nothing. Yep.
-Very helpful, Mike. Thank you.

If we're headlining,
who's the opening act?

Hi.

I don't know who needs to hear this,
but I think your bus is on fire.

-Oh, no.
-No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

But I did hear that that happened once.

It was the incense. It helps me unwind.

I am sorry about that.

Boys, this is Tim Timmons.
He's your opening act.

-Tim, MercyMe.
-Wow, guys.

It is so good for you to meet me.

Okay. That's new.

Are there any snacks?

-Thank you so much.
-Pick out your bunk, bro.

-Hey, great.
-Yeah.

-I'm gonna be back for that.
-Okay.

Life of the party.

He's a barrel full of monkeys, isn't he?

I'm not sure I like him.

Well, the folks at the homeless shelter
he works with seem to.

Of course he works
with a homeless shelter.

He also has your sense of humor,

which I find disquieting.

I know that look, Brick. What's up, man?

Shannon called me.

She's worried.

So am |I. I mean,

I'm not sure this whole
duct-taped-together

tour thing's gonna work anyhow.

Maybe you stay home for a while,
writing or something, you know.

Your family needs you, Shannon needs you.

Sam, especially.

I don't know, man. It's just... It's hard.

Why's it got to be so hard?

Which part?

All of it.

Come on, man.

You got your dream.

You inspired millions of people.

I mean,
what did you think was gonna happen?

You're just gonna
ride off into the sunset?

No more struggles or pain?

Good Lord never promised us that, man.
That's not how this thing works.

Look, I need this tour, Scott.

It's the only place
I feel like I can breathe again, man.

Stuff's falling apart at home.

Tour will give me the space
to figure it out.

I need this.

I don't think you know
what you need right now.

Okay.

If we're gonna do this,

we're gonna take that guitarist
from Audio A, what's his name?

Barry.

Because we're gonna need some big guns
now that Jim's gone.

I think that's great, man.
No objections here.

And then Sam.

Sam needs a father right now.

What is that supposed to mean?

I don't mean nothin' by it.

-It's just, you know...
-I'm a great dad, Scott.

-Yeah, I know. I'm just saying.
-We'll bring him with us.

-Come again?
-No, no, no. Sorry. That's stupid.

-No. No.
-That's actually not

a bad idea, Bartholomew.

Brick, that's not what I meant.
What I'm saying is...

Yes, sir.
We're gonna take that kid with us.

There's no way Shannon says yes to that.

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

Wait. You're...

You're okay with Sam...

-with Sam going?
-Yeah.

I'm ready for a change.

Besides, I think it'll be good

for the both of you.

All right, you knuckleheads.

Wheels up in five minutes. Let's go.

Put your finger right there.

-Okay.
-That's a C chord.

Yeah? And then if you put one there

-on this string...
-I'm worried I might break him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that.

Or he just might fix you.

-Hey, guys.
-Hey, Barry!

Greetings!

-I'm here. I'm here.
-What's up, man?

-Welcome to the party. How are you?
-Robby! Hey, man.

-Good to see you.
-Can you take that for me?

What's up, man? Fast mover.

-Hey. One minute. Let's go.
-All right, guys.

Got you. Okay. Goonies never say die.

And don't burn the house down, all right?

All right, that's enough.

Move it or lose it, ladies. Let's go.

Last dibs on bunks, I guess.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

Let's go.

Well done. You're sounding great.
Let's try that again.

That's sick, man. Is that open D?

It is.

Do you...

Do you play?

A little. Yeah.

Nice. Is your dad teaching you how?

Myself mostly.

-Yeah.
-Dad's got a lot going on with the band.

Hey, so,

what's your job here,

like, in the circus?

I don't have a job. I'm just kinda...

I mean, I'm a rookie.
This is my first tour, so...

It's my first tour, too.

Rock on.

Yep.

Yo, so...

feel free to say no,
like, if it's not your thing,

but would you maybe want
to guitar tech for me?

Just keep them tuned up in their cases,

ready to rock at a moment's notice.

I can't pay you for it, but...

No, I'm in. | mean...

I mean, I love that.
I'd love to, if... Yeah.

Killer, bro.

Hey, guys!

First-time busser here.

And probably a stupid question

but can you use the bathroom

while the bus is moving?

Yeah, of course. Knock yourself out.

Who's the rookie now?

Job one.

Keep it safe.

All right, let's go. Let's go.

-Bart, he's in. Let's do it!
-I've got too much to do, man.

It's stupid anyway.

Like, you invented this.

Cool. When did accountant Bart show up?

I don't know, man. About the time
I invited my diabetic kid along

on this writer's-block-inducing,
first-time-headlining, make-or-break tour.

What's the worst that
could happen, Michael?

Wow. Okay, you just let me know
when real Bart shows back up.

-He'll be missed.
-Yeah, I miss him too. Thanks.

Let's do it. Brick, buckle up.

You have surfed 20-foot waves in Kaua'i,

climbed Half Dome,
survived the eighth grade,

twice.

You can do this.

All right. Ready? On my count. Three,

two,

one.

Come on!

-Dude.
-All right.

Yeah.

You're all dead to me.

-Give me a hug.
-No! No! No!

No, no, no hug.

Is that water?

Is that water, dude?

-We heard that.
-I used your toothbrush.

I'm gonna get pink eye, right?

You know that's how Nathan nearly
burned the bus down, right?

Mama didn't raise no fool.

Must be riveting.

It is.

It's The Origin of Hymns.

I've always been obsessed
with It Is Well With My Soul.

I love that one.

It's one of the hardest redemption stories
I've ever heard,

which led to one of the greatest hymns
of all time.

I'd love to write
a song like that someday.

Me, too.

You did, man.

-Maybe another one.
-Yeah.

Yeah. I'd love to get
on the board someday.

I got this one song
that's like stuck in my head.

Knock yourself out, bro.

I don't really... do junk food.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Tim Timmons.

If I don't make it, tell my story.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Wow. They sure do build them taller
in Dallas.

Okay.

Here we go.

If all I do is just believe

I'll miss the forest for the trees

Your love moves me to my feet

It's like I'm finally breathing

Hey, Mr. Guitar Tech.

Did you check your level?

I will. See?

Hey, man, I'm not gonna
hunt you down on this.

It's your responsibility now.

Yeah, I got it, boss.

I'm finally breathing

I'm finally breathing

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more
than all of this

You're beautiful

So clean. I mean, Barry is a beast.

It's all right.

Yeah. I mean, you're like,
if your dad can learn how to sing, right?

Bro.

Five middle-aged white dudes just melted
like, 1,000 people's faces off.

But, I mean,
we totally did all the heavy lifting.

You are treasured, you are sacred
You are His

You're beautiful

Thank you, Dallas! Good night!

Timmons.

Yeah, I still can't
figure out these arrows.

I mean, which way is catering? It's...

Your set sucks.

Wow. Okay.

Just don't be boring. Give us some
pizzazz and panache, you know?

Your job's to get the crowd stoked,
get "em amped up.

I'm, like, one dude out on stage
with an acoustic guitar, man.

Sounds like excuses, Tim.

Look, if you're gonna be a bear,

be a grizzly.

Hey, try not to sugarcoat it
next time, you know.

-Whatever. Love you.
-Love you too.

Dude!

-Tim. I'm sorry. No, ...
-No, no. Dude, dude! No, no, no.

- I took it without asking you.
-Don't freak out.

-It's not right. I'm sorry. It's...
-Don't freak out.

-I just...
-Shut up!

I want you in my band.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Tim Timmons!

Okay, bud. Get your ears on.

Hey there, Birmingham.

-What you got?
-Okay. I got all reds...

-Barry.
-Let's go. I got you.

I don't know if that'll help me.

Is that drums?

What, you...

Go.

Come on!

One, two, one, two, three!

Yeah!

My main man, Sam, bringin' the noise!

I need you

I need you

I need you

Oh, I need you

I need you

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Now, have a seat.
Go on, now. Have a seat. Have a seat.

Been workin' on a new song.

It's not ready yet.

Soon. Soon, soon.

This is where I'm living right now.

About 150 years ago,

a prominent lawyer from Chicago
named Horatio Spafford

put his entire fortune into real estate.

And not long after,

the great Chicago fires happened,

and poof, everything he worked
so hard for his entire life was just gone.

So, he puts his wife

and their four sweet daughters
on a boat to Europe

to get 'em out of the city
so0 he can rebuild.

And on that fateful voyage,

a freighter hits them.

All four of his daughters
drowned in the crash,

and only his wife survives.

Now, I want you to stop and think

how you'd respond

to having nearly everything in your life
taken from you,

just... in an instant.

This man... jumps on another boat
to go be with his grieving wife,

and as the captain of the vessel
tells them

that they are over the exact spot
where his daughters died,

what do you think he did?

Did he wave his fist up in the air at God?

Did he just lay down? Give up?

Both of those responses would
have been understandable, right?

But no.

Instead,

he takes out a pen and paper

and proceeds to write
one of the most beautiful songs

in the history of the world,

It Is Well with My Soul.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It reminds me of the words
in the Book of Daniel in the Bible

when the three Israelites are facing the
fiery furnace and their imminent death.

In all of the terror and fear

and not even understanding
why this is happening to them,

all they could say
to that twisted king's face was

"Our God is able to deliver us."

But even if he doesn't...

even if he doesn't,

our hope... is in God alone.

Nothing you can do to us
will ever take that away.

So... whatever you're going through,

I don't care if it's divorce, cancer,

depression, you're failing algebra,

all of the fires,

storms,

the pain, the trauma...

you're never alone.

You are never alone.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

Counting the days
till your guy is back, too?

Yep.

Does it ever get easier?

Clumsy, messy maybe,

but no, not easy.

-Well, I...
-Mom, whatever Sophie's

about to say is a lie.

Mom.

-What, baby?
-Charlie tried to drown me.

This is Shannon.
Leave your message at the beep. Beep.

Hey, it's me.

I guess you're probably
busy with the kids.

I just... thought I'd check in
on you guys.

Sam's keeping up with his medicine
pretty good.

Sorry. How late are we?

Well, to be honest,
I'm keeping up with his meds.

It's a full-time job
but we're making it work.

There's a city that calls me by name

There's a city that calls me by name

Yes, as I run this race

I am cheered by the saints

There's a city that calls me by name

There's a future that runs...

The tour is going surprisingly smooth
under the circumstances.

...through my veins

And there's nothing on Earth
that could stand in the way...

There's a songwriter story,
Horatio Spafford,

that Tim won't stop talking about.

Everywhere I go on this road, high and low

And Brickell may have lost his mind.

I am here with Scott Brickell,
manager of some amazing acts

like Audio Adrenaline and MercyMe,
to discuss his new book,

The Business Behind the Song.

"Tips and tricks
for navigating a successful career

"in the ever-expanding
modern music industry.”

Wow, that's a mouthful, but obviously...

So, yes, Scott Brickell wrote a book,
I guess.

He said that
"one of us has to write around here."

So, tell me,
why'd you wanna write this book?

I mean...

why does a grizzly slaughter an elk?

Or...

why does a fox gnaw his foot off
when he's caught in a trap?

He's bombing. This is bad.

It's not bad. It's catastrophic.

I think he's crushing it.

No, Nathan, he's not crushing. No.

Sam!

I'm sorry.

I almost hate to say it

but I think Sam is built for the road.

Yeah, he's actually playin' on stage
with Tim Timmons.

He's totally in his element.

It's awesome to watch.

And he and Tim kicked off
our confetti cannon.

If you're gonna be a bear, am I right?

It's a...

yeah,

a long story.

Love you, Millard.

Hot dog.

Whoever does it faster gets it.

Truth is, Shannon,
I got no clue what I'm doing.

With you

Where I go, I go with

You

I know. It's like,

imagine just a whole wall
full of all of that.

One more time and I will cut you.

I've got this chorus stuck in my head.

About ready to give up on it.

What's up with tracing over your tattoo?

It's not a tattoo. I draw it fresh.

Well then, why not get it tatted? I mean,

save some ink.

That would miss the point,

which is

me telling God

and reminding myself

that I'm grateful.

Thank you for another day.

You know, I overheard you and my dad
talking about that book

and then, you know, that song
that you talked about on stage.

I don't have what that guy had

-but I wish I did.
-Yeah?

What if you could?

And there's old, useless Timmons.

Sticks and stones, Brickell. I felt that.

Hey, do not say anything.
Do not say anything. Do not say...

Hey, that looks ridiculously heavy.

I think it's time
for you to check your level.

Yeah, I'll get to it.

I'm happy to take over. I can help you...

I said I'm fine, okay?

-I'm taking care of it.
-Okay.

Cool. Awesome.

Good talk. Cool. Great.

Dad of the year.

You're the top dad. Awesome.

No. Sam! Sam!

Sam.

-Bart, what's...
-Get him up.

-Let me just hold him up.
-Somebody call 911.

-What happened?
-Sam?

Hey, buddy. You're gonna be okay.

It'll be okay. It's okay.

Just hold him.

Okay.

-Okay. Just breathe, man.
-It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

You're okay, buddy. Just breathe.

It's on me, Shannon.

I'm so sorry. I just...

It's not your fault.

You didn't do this to Sam.

He was my responsibility.

I took him on tour with me.

Who else is there to blame?

He's resting now.

You guys can come back.

Is he enjoying himself at least?

Bet you guys are feeling great out there.

Honestly, I'm having trouble
feeling anything right now.

This is about more than Sam.

I mean, no one taught me how to...

how to be a dad.

I got no freaking clue, Shannon.

Mine died
right when he was getting good at it.

Now, Sam...

I think God gave our kid the wrong dad.

Like, I'm the wrong one.

Millard, you're the only one.

You're his father.

You don't have to get it perfect.

Just be there for him.

I pray for you.

A lot.

Always have.

I'm here.

And so is the Jesus
you sing about every night.

He's in it all with you.

And he didn't make a mistake.

Sam's all the best parts of you.

So, just fight.

Please fight.

Fight for our son.

You know,
sometimes we think our story is over...

but it's only the beginning.

Just...

What is this?

Surprise!

What?

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah. Wow.

Wow.

When you least expect it, Tim Timmons.

Hey, bud.

Hey.

Mom said you're thinking about
not letting me finish the tour.

Yeah, man, I think...

I think you're safer here at home.

On a schedule.

Dad, I... I think I wanna do music.

I mean, I get around you guys and Tim
and it's like...

it calls to me like a dream.

Dreams don't...

Man. Wow.

I wanna support you, son.

I do.

But until you can learn
to take care of yourself,

I just gotta focus on
keeping you breathing.

So, no.

You're not gonna finish.

Then I'll get my dreams without you.

You did it without your dad.

I guess I can do it, too.

Let me guess.

You didn't hit the lotto.

You wanna talk about it?

Yeah, me neither.

You know, I'm actually glad you're here.

I got a favor to ask.

I got a lot going on right now, man.

I need you to finish this for me.

It's really personal,

like Imagine. And I just, I got stuck.

I think you might be
living this right now.

I don't think you have a clue
what I'm living right now.

Look, I don't have your voice

and I don't care if anybody
knows it was me.

I just wanna write something
that helps people.

That's really all I want
anymore these days.

Like, this song needs you, man.
It needs Horatio's soul.

I really think you're supposed to be
the one to finish this for me.

Do you know what it's like

reliving all the memories of my dad
beating me up all the time?

Now I got a kid.

I can't even keep him well.

A kid that I have to hurt
over and over again every day

including now, killing his dream.

Just to keep him safe.

You don't get to tell me about my life.

You will never understand
what I'm going through.

This never goes away for me, man.

I have cancer, Bart.

It's... one of those really rare kinds,
you know? Like, no road map.

I mean, they operate
right when we get off tour,

and then it's chemo, radiation,
the whole thing.

It's got a lot of risks, too.

And what they're saying is...

it isn't good.

And the timing really sucks
because I just found out...

I'm gonna be a dad.

Yep.

Hilary is pregnant.

She just told me.

And... I mean, to be honest, man,
I'm... I'm terrified.

And I'm angry and sad that I might
miss out on a life with the two of them.

I mean, I see you with Sam and I...

That's my grief.

But this tour? Bucket list, bro.

I just wanna finish strong.

For Hilary, with Sam and you and the guys.

And every moment
that I'm allowed to be here,

I just...

I wouldn't change it,

trade it in for the world.

My gratitude.

I'm finding a way
to hold them both, together.

God is in fire, bro.

And it is beautiful.

You know.

Give it a listen.

If you hate it,

I don't know, just trash it, burn it,
destroy it. Doesn't really matter.

If there's something there...

Now I feel like an idiot.

Listen to the friggin' song.

Did you know...

Tim was sick?

He asked me not to tell anyone
'cause he didn't wanna be a distraction.

I guess I shouldn't have let him
swear me to secrecy.

Sorry about that.

Dad, Mary-Clair cut her arm.

Is it spraying?

No.

If it ain't spraying, keep playing.

Tell her to rub some dirt on it.

Sorry, Bart. Family day.

Well, hurry up! We're burning daylight!

Okay.

Look, Brick. I don't know, man.

Things are real bad with Sam right now.

If I'm not home keeping him on schedule...

I think I gotta quit.

So I guess

this is the part

where I'm supposed to tell you
not to quit.

"Sometimes
those earth-shattering moments in life,

"when your dreams vaporize and die
right before your eyes,

"it's then you realize
that what you've been searching for

"has been under your nose all along."

Quitting's not gonna
solve your problems, Bart.

You obviously never read that.

Did I ever tell you

that my father went to prison?

No?

Yeah.

My dad goes away for two years

and overnight my entire high school era...

was gone.

I'd go see him in prison
every couple of weeks

and he was so concerned
about making the farm work

that that's all he talked about.

"We can't lose the farm, Scotty."

It became our whole deal.

When all I really needed...

was a dad.

And life handed you and Sam
something similar.

You just needed to keep your son alive

and that became your entire relationship.

But he needs more than that from you.

Trust me.

Did you make it right
with you and your dad?

He's my best friend in the world.

Dreams don't pay the bills.

All it does... is keep you
from knowing what's real.

I wanna make things right with you and me.

I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to do it.

I'm trying.

If God... can forgive everybody else,

why can't He forgive me?

Dad, are you dying?

Yeah.

Just do it.

Hey. Hey, hey, the doc said
you're supposed to take it easy.

Yeah, well, "Doc,"”

I'll sleep

when I'm dead.

I channeled my inner Bart today.

I saw these on the side of the road.

Couldn't let the trash man get 'em.

Feast your eyes.

Wow. Those... are awful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I like "em.

I love 'em.

-Here, help me out with this.
-Yeah.

All right.

You know, I think people throw things away
for a reason.

Some people are stupid.

Sounding good.

You know, when I'm gone...

-Hey, I don't...
-...I want...

-Don't. I don't...
-No. No. Listen to me. Listen.

I want you to give this guitar

to somebody who can use it.

There's nothing worse than a guitar
that's just laying around.

That's sadder than a boat in the desert.

You're right.

These chairs are... butt-ugly.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Neither do I.

I thought all my dreams were dead.

My whole life, I dreamed... of this.

Somethin' good.

With my dad.

And here we are.

Here we are.

Sometimes your dreams can...

...rise from the ashes.

Hi, I'm Bart.

Bart Millard.

First time I've ever
been to anything like this.

My wife thought it would be a good idea
for me to come to one of these.

My relationship with my father
was complicated,

and now I have a son of my own, so I guess
that's why I'm here, to fight for my son.

Welcome, Bart. You'll fit right in here.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a safe place to process
those things that we can't get past.

Does anyone else have something
they'd like to share with the group?

Hey.

Hey.

So...

Twenty questions, yeah?

Twenty questions.

-Twenty questions.
-Looks like it.

What's your favorite color?

Brick red.

You?

Like, a salmon kinda...

Favorite book?

Tim's Horatio book. It Is Well.

Yeah. It was really good.
I got to read it for a little while.

Never learned how to read.

So I'm gonna go with Green Eggs and Ham.

Favorite sport? Wait, I know.

Football.

If we're talking about real football
like soccer, then, yeah.

Okay.

This is a good one.

One thing that's never happened to me
that has happened to most?

Well, you're gonna think it's stupid.

No, come on.

I've never seen a shooting star.

You've never seen a shooting star?

Bro, we gotta get you outside more, okay?

Feel like that's on me.

Never seen a shooting star. Okay.

Thanks for setting this up.

I know we've been kinda...

Wait, I...

You didn't set...

-No.
-I thought you sent the...

No, I didn't.

That's okay.

Yeah, it's fine.

It's fine. I just...

I'm starting to get a little tired,
so I think I'm just gonna go.

Well, I mean, maybe we could
pick this up another time, you know?

You can go.

I mean, I want you there.

On the tour.

You can go.

Come on, Bart, let's go.

-Let's go, Bart.
-Let's go, Bart.

We're burning daylight here.
Chop, chop. Come on.

Did you set me and Sam up

with the 20 questions thing?

I did.

My counselor uses 20 questions a lot
to just get things going.

Just trying to help.

Keep fighting.

I will.

I mean...

I am.

I---

It's for you.

Just...

-I gotta go.
-Okay.

Chex Mix.

Check, one, two, one, two.

All right, Sam. That's good, man.

We're gonna run a song.

Where's Tim?

I'm not too sure.

I'll be right back. Hold on.

Hey, Tim?

Tim, they're ready for us.

My bro, I'm not feeling so great.

Sound check without me?

Yeah.

Sorry, I don't think you understand.
I've never done that before.

I know.

You're gonna be great, buddy.

You just go do it. Go do it.

Okay. Yeah, I'll try.

Just do what he says. Just do it.

Tim couldn't make it.

So... yeah, here we go.

Whatever my lot

Okay.

Thou hast taught me to say

It is well

It is well

With my soul

Oh, it is well

With my soul

It is well

It is well, it is well,
it is well, it is well

With my soul

Whatever my lot

Thou hast taught me to say

It is well

It is well

With my soul

Okay.

He's incredible.

-So good.
-Jeez.

Oh, my gosh.

-It's unbelievable.
-Yeah, man.

Does this run in the family?

Coming through.

Nothing like a good bus breakdown.

-I was having the most amazing dream.
-Welcome to the road.

Yeah.

What's up?

Radiator.

Okay. Okay, hold it. Okay, okay.

Weirdest phobias.

Well, Nathan's gotta have the weirdest.

100%.

It's cantilevered toilets.

-What? What even is that?
-I'm serious.

They're the ones where the thing,
it just sticks out from the wall

and there's nothing underneath it
to hold it up so like it's floating there.

-I don't trust it. I don't like it.
-I actually get that.

-Nathan, you're an alien.
-Bizarre.

Piranhas the movie at the cinema, 1978.

So how old are you?

Nice. Thanks.

No.

Sam,

-you're up.
-No. No.

-Yeah, yeah, go on.
-No, I...

-Come on.
-It's you, man.

-Come on, Sam.
-Go ahead.

Needles.

Yeah, but you've been around needles,
like, your whole life, man.

Sure that must have been hard for you.

It is what it is.

You know, sometimes the best way
to face your fears is... with friends.

-No, you first.
-Don't look.

You are?

-Are we doing this?
-Okay.

-Three, two...
-Two...

-Do the thumb.
-...one.

Bunch of lightweights.

That was a good one.

Do you know how many times I've done this?

Come on.

Blood brothers!

What say ye?

-I"'m in.
-Yeah!

-Yeah. Why not?
-Let's get weird.

-Okay.
-Dude.

-This can't be safe.
-All right.

-Come on. Come on, man.
-All right. Coming. I'm coming.

Guys, come on.

You're as much a part of this as anybody.
Let's go.

-You first. Go ahead. Get in there.
-Come on, Sammy.

-Go ahead, you're in. You're in.
-Come on, Sam.

-Yeah!
-Bring it in.

Come on, Sammy, get in here.

Yeah, let's go.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

And now we all have hepatitis.

-That was great. Thanks.
-Nice job, guys.

Favorite food?

Hit me with that In-N-Out Burger.

Double-Double, animal style.

Fries.

Neapolitan shake.

Call it a night.

Favorite season?

Summer.

Cool.

Why?

The shots were always worse in the cold.

So, you know, summer helped.

I got you.

Let me see, seasons.

I gotta say spring.

You know?

Everything gets a redo.

Yeah.

Redos are good.

Redos are good.

What was your favorite moment
with your dad?

It was his last day...

and... he told me he was proud of me
and that he loved me.

Only time.

It was...

everything.

You?

I'm sorry, son.

I'm trying.

I know.

I mean, all my life, me and my dad,
we had a...

complicated relationship,
to say the least.

I never wanted to be that to you.

But then stuff happens and then...
you find brand new ways to hurt your son

and somehow you find yourself
back in the same chair.

In the end, me and my dad, we...

we were good.

I hope that for me and you, too.

Every day.

Whoa, are you seeing this?

What? That is awesome.

Thank you.

Bart, get up, get up, get up.

We can't get him to wake up! Come on!

Sam! Sam.

-Please wake up!
-Hey, Tim, Tim.

Dad, I don't know what happened.
He just collapsed.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

-Is he breathing?
-What do we do?

Brick, you gotta get "em here quick.

Yeah, we just, we're northbound.

We just passed mile marker 367.
We need you to hurry.

Please hurry.

I asked the staff if I could,
like, push a button,

make the heart monitor do
that flat line thingie,

like, right when you walked in.

They told me it'd be in poor taste.

It's funny, though, right?

It's pretty funny.

Yeah, they gave me something to sleep.

I don't know how much longer I'I...

I'm messing with you.

But they did give me something.

Boy, it's really coming down.

The... doctors told me
I can't finish the tour.

They're gonna have to operate
a little sooner than they hoped.

-I'm sorry, man.
-No, I'm sorry.

I feel like I'm letting you guys down.
I really wanted to finish this.

Man, don't say that.

Wow.

Wow, the things I may never finish, wow.

Hey, speaking of,
how's our song coming along?

Like, I got through the chorus
and the bridge.

I just... I got tripped up on the verses.

-I know it wouldn't take much to finish...
-I haven't listened to it, man.

I'm sorry.

Well, that hurts my feelings a little.

I guess...

sometimes you win some,
sometimes you lose some.

Whoa, drugs are really
kicking in right now.

I don't think you're gonna have to suffer
this fool much longer.

I don't know.

Feel like I could suffer him
a little longer.

That's outta character for you.

I'm flattered.

Now there's one beautiful thing...
suffering does.

It teaches you empathy.

In my song,

God is in the fire.

That's funny.

I can see it now.

God is in the storm, too.

Maybe God's in everything.

Wouldn't that be...

I've always been obsessed
with It Is Well With My Soul.

One of the hardest redemption stories
I've ever heard,

which led to one of the greatest hymns
of all time.

I'd love to write
a song like that someday.

So, Bart, if you're listening to this,
I'm probably dead.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
No, no, it was a joke.

That was just a great joke.

Yeah, okay, so, here we go.

I guess...

sometimes you win some
and sometimes you lose some.

I think God gave our kid the wrong dad.

Like, I'm the wrong one.

Man, why does life have to be so hard?

Why don't you show up face to face for us
when everything goes dark?

My grief and my gratitude.

I'm trying to find a way
to hold them both...

together.

In my song,

God is in the fire.

God is in the storm, too.

Shannon, hey, it's me.

Just checking in. I...

Hilary's still at the hospital
with Tim and...

it's not looking good.

He wanted me to work on this song for him.

I finished it last night

and I don't know,
something about it feels different.

I haven't really gotten this feeling
about a song in a long time.

Just... excited to share it with you.

Our final show at Red Rocks
is at the end of the week.

Man, I wish you guys
could be there with me.

I miss you and the kids.

I think things are gonna be different.

I've been fighting.

Been really fighting.

I love you, Millard.

To sing this song

You having a good time?

Man, what a crowd.

This is our final stop.

It's... been an unforgettable tour.

It got us thinking if we could...

if we could sing
just one last song for you,

before this thing was over,
what would we sing?

So...

this is it.

-Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
-Come on. Talk to the guy.

Hey, Sam.

What are we doing?

You wanna play with us?

-Come on.
-Sam is joining.

-He's coming for you. Get ready.
-Okay.

I have to do this.

This is my son.

Yeah, yeah.

This is my son

and we've been through a lot.

This last song was written
by our dear friend, Tim Timmons.

He's...

He's real sick right now.

But he graciously let me
finish this one with him

and...

Tim couldn’t be here tonight,

but he always gives a powerful gift
to the world

and the same powerful gift
that he gave me,

gratitude.

Unflinching gratitude.

There's so much beauty in the world and...

There's so much beauty in it...

Shannon?

Ladies and gentlemen,

my beautiful wife, Shannon is
here tonight. Give it up for Shannon.

What are you doing here, babe?

And is that Tim and Hilary, too?

Okay. I don't know
what's going on right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, my man, Tim Timmons
is in the house right now with his wife.

Give it up for them. Come on.

I thought you were in the hospital, man.

What are you doing here?

This one's for Tim.

They say sometimes you win some

Sometimes you lose some

Right now

Right now I'm losing bad

Stood on this stage

Night after night

Reminding the broken it'll be all right

But right now

Oh, right now I just can't

It's easy to sing

When there's nothing to bring me down

What will I say

When I'm held to the flame

Like I am right now

I know You're able and I know You can

Save through the fire
with Your mighty hand

But even if You don't

My hope is You alone

They say it only takes a little faith

To move a mountain

Good thing

'Cause little faith is all I have

Right now

God, when You choose

To leave mountains unmovable

Oh, give me the strength
to be able to sing

It is well with

My soul

I know You're able and I know You can

Save through the fire
with Your mighty hand

But even if You don't

My hope is You alone

I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt

Would all go away
if You'd just say the word

-But even if You don't
-Even if You don't

My hope is You alone

You've been faithful

You've been good

All of my days

Jesus, I will cling to You

Come what may

'Cause I know You're able

I know You can

I know You're able

And I know You can

Save through the fire
with Your mighty hand

But even if You don't

My hope is You alone

I know the sorrow

I know the hurt

Would all go away
if You'd just say the word

But even if You don't

My hope is You alone

My hope is You alone

It is well

With my soul

It is well

It is well with

My soul

Wow!

I'm so proud of you.

I've always been proud of you.

You're the best part of me, son.

All right, Tim, Shannon,
I'm coming for you.

You did it, man.

Horatio's soul.

My soul, man.

No, Tim.

You don't even see it, do you?

It's you.

The song is you.

Thank you for showing me the way back.

Your X is crooked.

Yean, man. You gotta learn
how to draw straight lines, you weirdo.

Go get the girl, bro.

I'm back, Millard.

I'm back.

No.

You're home.

"I found a song

“that opened my life up to things
I could never have possibly imagined.

"A hard song, of loss, heartbreak, grief,

"and yet a song that made me believe
dreams do come true.

"Through the ages, as artists of faith,
we search for the sacred,

"the eternal.

"We sing of the things that last
and stand the test of time,

"always looking for the strength
and the truth to be able to say,

"It is well with my soul.™

"Sometimes all we can do is look to Heaven

"past all the happily-ever-afters
that may never come.

"All of the unanswered questions
and just say,

"'No matter what, I trust You.'

"Because in the end, we're all just
a small part of an eternal story.

"The story of the goodness of God."

"What do you do

"when the only thing in the world you have
to hang on to is a song?"

You keep holding on.

Say, Dad...

do you ever wanna
talk about your feelings?

Not really.

Yeah, me neither.

Thanks for the... for the book.

In another section, I was thinking...
