The Dream Motel.

Modest and unassuming in appearance.

Many people pass by and never give it a second thought.

But for some, the Dream Motel is a refuge from the storm.

A safe haven in times of trouble.

A special place where sometimes heaven reaches out

just to touch the earth.

For many years, the Dream Motel has offered

faith to the faithless,

hope to all those who have but given up on life,

and love to those who thought themselves unworthy.

How can I help you?

(ethereal music)

So even though she came here prepared

to take her own life, after she left,

she became a doctor and now she's saving lives in Africa.

That's amazing.

I still can't believe that Martin Luther King stayed here.

Yeah.

He was very nice, but I could tell when he showed up

he was broke, he was ready to give up.

But he stayed here one night, one night, Jesse,

and he walked outta here ready to take on the world.

It's amazing.

You know, after hearing all of this,

I can't understand why Darke wants to close this place down.

He doesn't wanna close it down.

He wants to tear it down.

Oh, I think we need to make a stand

and make sure Darke doesn't get his way this time.

Jesse, we both know that God's will

will always be accomplished no matter what.

No one, no thing can ever do anything to thwart that.

The people like Darke,

they believe they can stifle God's will

even though they might not understand

that it's God's will that they're stifling.

He may very well show up tonight

and try to make good on his threats,

but the key to the equation is this:

as much as I love this place, it's not about this place,

it's about people and their hearts.

And people like Darke don't want that

and they don't like that.

Well we still can't stand by and let Darke

just rip this place to the ground.

If it's God's will for us to take a stand, we will,

but we have to remember no matter what,

whatever happens good or bad,

we have to trust that it's God's plan.

You're right.

I'm sorry for the way that I've been acting lately.

You don't have to apologize.

When I first came here I was a mess.

I was.

I was confused, I was angry.

A lot like you are right now.

But God changed me.

He breathed new life into me.

He restored me.

Jesse, our meeting the other day, wasn't an accident.

I know, I see that now.

I've known you are coming for weeks.

I had a dream.

God showed me that you were gonna come here

and help me out with things around here.

And from the looks of it, not a minute too soon.

(laughing)

Oh, stop, stop, don't, don't make me laugh.

It's not that bad, is it?

It's pretty rough.

Sheriff!

What brings you in this morning?

You want some of my biscuits and scrambled eggs?

Ah, not this morning, I'm afraid.

Look, uh-- - What is it?

I just came by to let you know I've been hearing

some talk around town.

Darke's planning something for this evening.

We know, we were just talking about it.

He came by last night and made those threats to us.

And hey, people like Darke are all bark and no bite.

How long has he been threatening this place?

Yet we're still here.

I hope you're right, Matteo.

I don't know, this time something feels different.

Well, I promise you this:

if anything happens, you'll be the first to know.

Yeah.

Okay, Matteo.

Well, I'll see y'all around.

Thank you.

It's good to see you.

That was nice.

Yeah.

Let me ask you something, Jesse.

Do you think God is finished with this place?

No.

Not now.

Not after everything I've heard

and all the threats that have come against us.

No. - Good.

Good.

'Cause I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

If Darke does show up tonight,

we're supposed to take a stand.

'Cause I know God's not through with this place either.

(dramatic music)

I think this is what you've been waiting for.

Now you can legally get rid of that place once and for all.

I think you'll find everything's in order.

[Darke] Good work.

I'm glad you like it.

(dramatic music)

Well, we look forward to it.

Thank you.

Hey, Jesse!

Yeah?

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Okay, what's the good news?

The good news is we've got guests coming this weekend.

(Matteo chuckles)

So what's the bad news?

We've got guests coming this weekend.

Are we gonna be able to get this place ready?

(sighs)

Yeah.

I got one more day on the restaurant

and I got two more days right here but then,

yeah, we should be ready to go.

Great!

[Jesse] How many guests we got coming?

A lot.

We're gonna need every room on the first floor.

Is that possible?

(sighs) Well, every room's done except 147.

And what's up with 147?

Well, you've been in there.

You said it was hideous.

It's hideous.

So what if I give you a hand?

Well, yeah, if you're giving me a hand.

Yeah, we can get it done this weekend.

Great.

I'm so excited.

This weekend you are gonna get to see

this place in full operation mode.

And I could not of done it without you.

You are a literal godsend.

I'm just here to help it keep going.

[Matteo] Maybe.

What?

I've been thinking.

This morning, last night, quite a bit.

About?

I believe there's even a greater reason

for you being here.

And what would that be?

Jesse, I believe it's possible that you're supposed

to take over this place once I'm gone.

No.

No, this isn't me.

No, no, no way, this is not me.

This is your thing.

And besides, if I'm here, what are you gonna be doing?

Where's he sending you?

I mean, he hasn't told me that.

Matteo, I'm not gonna be some glorified chambermaid,

I've got other things I've gotta do with my life.

I get it, but it's not that bad.

If, I'll use that big two letter word, if I am right,

buddy, I am gonna miss this place.

You'll fall in love with it.

You may be healing fast, but your mind

is still completely messed up.

There's a reason God healed me so quickly.

Think about it.

Get your tool box, we gotta get 147 done.

Yes, sir.

How are the plans coming along?

Have you managed to find some extra men?

Yes, sir.

That place is going to go up like a tinder box.

Precisely what I needed to hear this morning.

Good work.

What about you?

Did you get what you needed?

Yes.

I got everything I need to make sure

all goes according to plan.

But check back in a little bit later.

I may have some errands for you to run.

Will do, boss.

(ominous music)

And as for that do-gooder Peters,

(chuckles), I'll take care of him personally.

[Matteo] I think you're too worried.

[Jesse] Matteo, I know nothing about running a motel.

And you think I did?

When I was assigned here, we had just gotten back

from our work in Nazi Germany.

That's how long it's been.

I didn't know anything about running a motel.

Everything I learned, I learned from scratch.

So you can, too.

You never did answer me when I asked you

the other night about what your next assignment is

if, in fact, I'm supposed to be here.

Well I didn't answer you because I'm not sure.

In that dream I had last night,

I saw you in this place working,

greeting people at the guest, that sorta thing.

As for me, I wasn't in the dream, so I don't know.

But you have bettered the sermon of God's will

than anybody I know.

Thank you.

That is true, but he's not revealing it.

I mean, maybe...

Yeah, go on.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't.

Room 147.

Are you ready?

(Jesse groans)

Untouched since the day I arrived.

Oh.

And you mean untouched since the dawn of man.

Maybe.

Well, this place is disgusting.

Please tell me you've never put anybody in here.

Never.

Is that real wood paneling?

Yeah, I think so.

This carpet.

I'm gonna say it.

This is the ugliest room I have ever seen.

And that, my friend, is exactly why

we're gonna take care of it today.

Once you put your finishing touches on it,

this is gonna be the best room in the entire joint.

(light music)

You don't suppose this is what hell looks like, do ya?

It's what it smells like, I'm sure.

(ominous music)

(Darke chuckling)

(suspenseful music)

It sure is a beautiful day.

Indeed.

So, Matteo, how many places like this exist?

I don't know the exact number anymore,

but there are quite a few.

Not just in this country, but all over the world.

The Lord is doing some truly wonderful things out there.

(birds chirping)

But?

It's just that there used to be a whole lot more.

At one point we had motels like this in Russia and China,

but the religious persecution eventually won out,

shot 'em down.

But in America, I see people who are truly living lives

of faith, hope, and love.

This country's strong.

But, atheism, secularism, and other world religions

are starting to take hold in a lot of minds and hearts here.

So my fear is that.

How's that sandwich?

That's a good sandwich.

I'm good.

Indeed.

(knocking)

Enter.

(ominous music)

Come, child, take a look at this.

What are these places?

These are places that once were but are no more.

The Bellevue House.

That place was in operation since before the Civil War.

But I got it condemned a few years back.

Yes, one way or another, I got all these place

closed and torn down.

(chuckles)

And such is the fate of the Dream Motel.

(sighs)

Well, I cannot believe you've gone all this time

and not known how to hold a hammer.

I told you I was more of a hindrance than a help.

Let me show you how to clean some masonry.

Come here.

Hey.

Something's wrong.

I sense it, too.

Outside.

(dramatic music)

(liquid sloshing)

Let's do this.

(crickets chirping)

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Howard Johnson and Conrad Hilton.

Leave now.

This won't end well for you.

I think you have that wrong.

You leave now or this will not end well

for either one of you.

I'll call the sheriff.

No need.

He's already here.

(chuckles)

I can't stop him, Matteo.

He owns this town.

He owns me.

I don't have a choice here.

You always have a choice, Sheriff.

You had a chance to take your money and run.

Now I'll give you just five minutes

to go in and pack and get out.

And then I'm gonna burn this place to the ground.

Sheriff, are your hands sewn tied

that you can't do anything?

You two don't get it.

I own this town, I own him.

I own everyone and everything around here.

In fact, when this place is outta the way,

I'll own this piece of ground, too.

So that's what this is about.

Owning everything?

It's never been about this building,

but what goes on inside its walls.

I don't care about the property,

I just wanna stop what G--

(coughs)

What He is doing in here.

Face the facts.

You can't stand against me and my men.

I win.

You lose.

On second thought, burn this place to the ground now.

Stop, stop!

Stop!

I'm warning you to stop what you're doing right now!

(laughs)

Oh, Sheriff.

All you had to do is stay there and be quiet,

let us do what we came here to do.

That's all.

I'm not gonna stand by any longer and--

You had to go and put your big fat nose into my business.

(grunts)

(Sheriff coughs)

Are you okay, Sheriff?

I'll be okay.

Just do whatever he says, Matteo.

He's way too strong.

My boss is stronger.

This place is not for sale and it won't be destroyed tonight

because God is not finished with the Dream Motel.

(electrical buzzing)

(Matteo groans)

What just, what just happened here?

The power of God just happened.

The Lord doesn't usually let men witness that.

He let you see it for a reason.

What happened to those men?

They're all right.

They'll wake up in the morning

and they won't remember a thing.

[Sheriff] What about Darke?

You were right about him.

He's stronger than the others.

You need to be careful, Sheriff.

(heavy breathing)

Sheriff.

You're a good man who did a good deed this evening.

Don't forget that.

Let's hose down this gasoline.

I've got it.

Go in there and rest.

Thank you.

(Matteo panting)

(crickets chirping)

(light music)

Well, my friend.

We've lived to see another day.

(dramatic music)

Who are you?

You know who I am.

(Darke laughs)

I'll never stop till this place is no more.

(dramatic music)

Until you are no more.

His will, not mine.

Let's finish this!

(Matteo screams)

What's going on?

(zapping)

Matteo!

(suspenseful music)

This isn't over.

(heavy breathing)

He was stronger than we thought.

Look, I can't do this on my own.

For the last time, you will.

Trust me.

Not every day's gonna be this busy.

(laughs)

Jesse.

Yeah?

God showed me, in a vision, some of your future guests.

Hey, buddy, watch for Charlie.

And Jennifer.

Okay.

And Bobby and Tony.

You are gonna show them faith, hope, and love.

(somber music)

(light dramatic music)

[Jesse] The Dream Motel.

It hasn't always been easy.

And if I'm honest, I never wanted to be here.

Well, not at first.

For over 50 years I have run this place

and seen to all the needs of my guests.

But over the years I have truly come to love this place

and consider it my home.

(upbeat music)
