previously on the dead zone...
if this is true,john smith's in for a big surprise.
If you don't believe me, ask reverend purdy.
I'm responsible for the deaths of two men.
How do I go about forgiving myself for that?
I have to leave.
To go where?
I don't know.
I'm not the manyou think I am.
Sarah,there is absolutelynothing illegal about walt's secretbank account.
He inherited the moneyfrom a man named brian meeks.
John,I thoughtyou got rid of this stuff.
We need to get together and talk about herb smith.
Walt...
what did you find outabout my father?
I've got your eggs,herb.
I won't eat eggs. They're bad.
They're good for you.
You're getting too skinny.
You need to keep this sweater on your shoulders.
It's too chilly in here.
Oh,you're too bossy, vera.
is that better?
now I'm hot.
Why am I seeing my dead parents?
Well, I hope you all had a good time.
It's been great,thanks.
A gym on a plane...
that was pretty cool.
But I have to say the best part- 19 tvs.
Yeah.
How awesome is that?
Well,I'm sorryI had to work so much.
Yeah,I thought this wassupposed to be your r&r weekend.
Well,it was supposedto be,you know,but it never ends upthat way.
I do hope you all hada good time though. I really do.
Oh,it's been great. Thanks.
But I am readyto get home.
I feel like I canhear hope crying from here.
Well,let me take careof this,and I'll get youon your way.
Oh,don't worry about it,mr. Vice president. This one's on the house.
Well,I reallyappreciate that,but I do like to pay my own way.
You have a reallybeautiful family.
Well,thank you.
Thank you very much. I am a lucky man.
sheriff turner wants meto look into how walt got that cabin.
She can't get overbeing used by whoever the helldoug o'connell was.
No trace of that guy?
Nope,but you knowthose people who left the money to waltso he could buy it?
- The meeks family? - Yeah.
I don't know,there'ssomething strange about them.
But anyways,we're gonna keep digging.
Let me know if youfind anything out, okay? It's important. Just give me a call.
Yeah,okay.
Jake,one more thing. Did walt leaveanything here,like- like a digital camera.
Do you have any issued by the office?
Yeah, we keep 'em right under here.
- Did walt use one in particular? - Yeah.
Yeah,well,I knowthis one's walt'S.
It's got a ding in it.
He tossed it to his old deputy roscoe,who dropped it.
You need to take some pictures?
Sheriff bannerman, do you know how long I've held on to this?
If this is true, john smith's in for a big surprise.
If you don't believe me, ask reverend purdy.
We should meet again.
After I talk to purdy.
Should we meet here,or the garden of grace?
Not the garden. There are snakes there.
It's too dangerous. I'll call you.
They're watching me,and if they see us together...
wait,hang ona second.
You know what to dowith this,right?make sure he gets it.
Jake,thanks. I gotta run.
Yeah,no problem.
Hey there.
Ah,I wantedto see hope.
Oh,she crashed outafter her bath.
She'll be upin a while.
Are you going backto work?
Well,I have sometask force reports to look over.
I could do thatat the office,or,uh,
do that out there on the porch while eating some of those cookies.
That's a tough decision, I gotta tell you.
That is bad for you-raw egg?
Look at that,I'm still here.
I never let J.J.Eat it.
- No? - No.
Although I always didas a kid. Didn't you?
Not a lot of cookieswhen I was growing up.
So,those ready?
They'reright out of the oven.
Well...
- Oh,okay... - I told you.
I just gave myselfthird-degree burns there.
Well,you were warned.
You smell like vanilla.
You taste likecookie dough.
Um,I gotta checkthe oven.
And I should call J.J.Before all the cookiesare gone.
Yeah,that's a good idea.
Well...
those are nice.
They forsythia?
Hydrangea.
I don't know muchabout plants or flowers.
I'm kind of a black thumb.
I just help out herefrom time to time.
When you're not talkingto walt bannerman?
I'm john smith.
Walt was asking youabout my father?
I know who you are. You should leave.
Why?Because the garden is dangerous?
That's what you told walt. I wanna know what you saidabout herb smith.
I'm jacinta.
I was a nurse at brockmorea long time ago.
What else can you tell me?
I can't tell you anything else.
- Jacinta. - No.
I know what happens when you do that.
Walt died keeping your secret.
Please tell me about my father.
I took care of him.
He...
he scared some people.
Because he saw things?
Like he could predict a thunderstorm,
or he knew tomorrow the lunch room was going to prepare that meat loaf that tasted like dog food.
Or- or... who would winthe next election.
Did people ask aboutwhat he was seeing?
I told the director of the institution about herb's predictions.
And after that,people began to show up to observe him.
Who?
I can't tell you that.
We could meet later on. All of us.
All of us?
At st. Stephens. The monastery.
Jacinta,I have to know. What were people asking?
Hang in there,jacinta. Hang in there.
Yeah, listen, send someone right away to the garden of grace. A woman has been shot.
Right away,please.
Hello,john.
Where the hell have you been?
Lots of places.
How did you find me?
Jacinta.
Who?
She's dead.
I had a vision about her and walt.
And she gave him somethingin an envelope.
And walt was comingto talk to you about it.
The day he died.
Gene!
I'm sorry we haveto do it this way.
What were you doing withmy father's death certificate?
Jacinta's dead?
How do you know her?
She was your father'S...
nurse... at brockmore.
Years ago,when your father's health took a turn for the worse,
the doctors told me that he would not recover.
So the death certificatewas a fake?
I did it to protectyour mother.
I didn't think it was right for vera to see him suffer.
It was better if verabelieved that herb had passed on.
What right did you haveto do that?
He was a changed man,john.
He was desperate,lost.
The doctor suggestedfor his comfort we move him.
Move him where?
To another facility.
Eastern state.
I never sawyour father again.
Is he alive?
No.
There was a fire that easter.
Almost five years ago.
Five years ago?
Five years ago,I was out of my coma.
My father was alive,and I didn't know it?
John,he would look at youand not see his son.
Yeah,but I would have seenmy father!
And all this time,you didn't say anything!
To protect youand your mother.
You were in lovewith my mother.
That's why you sentmy father away.
As soon as he realizedhe was getting sick,he made me promise.
He begged me to keep youaway from him.
I'll never forgive youfor this.
Wait,where do you think I'vebeen the past six months?
Trying to understand everything,just the way you are.
Walt,janus,maybe evenjacinta dead because of me.
How can you,the visionary,
not see I need to know what waltfound out too.
John.
Please.
Give me a chanceto make things right.
So do you have,like,oneof those secret doors you walk through,
so you can visitthe president whenever you want?
Is that part of your strategy to make me lose my concentration?
'Cause it's working,I'm telling ya.
Alright.
- It worked. - Okay.
One,two,three.
Yes!
Well,I'll tell you,the tide is definitely turning,isn't it?
I thought you had an ace.
No,bud. Looks like you've got 'em all.
I can see you arethe champion.
I'm coming for you though. Rematch next timeI'm in town?
Sure.
Count on it.
- Prepare to lose again. - I'm coming for ya.
See ya.
Hey,I got an idea.
Why don't you come with me?
Where?
To washington?
You and hope and J.J.
What?Are you crazy?
We just moved here.
It's not permanent. I'll give you a job.
You can help outwith the campaign,just like you used to.
We'll get a nanny for hope,tutor for J.J.
Think of the great experienceit'll be for him.
Greg,I don't know.
Everything on the up and up.
I'll stayin the admiral's house. You get your own apartment. No strings.
Look,before you say no,do me a favor,will you?
And just think about it.
Make a list. Pros and cons.
You do that for me?
I'll be back later tonight.
Give you plenty of timeto realize that the right answeris yes.
Wait.
- You forgot these. - The cookies.
Thank you.
Hey,sweetie.
You're getting visionsof armageddon,aren't you?
my visions are always connected to stillson,gene.
That he was goingto start it.
But ever since janus died,I don't know.
It just seems likedoomsday is off,you know?
Your eggswill get cold,herb.
I don't care.
Just one little bite.
What did you see?
My parents,they were here in the house.
I always remembermy mother,gene,but my father...
always seems hazier to me.
I always used to dreamabout him,you know?
I'd dream about the questionsI would ask him if I'd get to see him again.
Why am I having visionsof my parents now?
A lot of thingsdon't make sense to me either.
Jacinta definitely knewwhat was going on.
And they killed her.
But how did she find you?
I don't know.
You got a pictureof her here.
No I don'T.
Yeah you do. Right there.
She's standingright next to janus.
so you went to the basement?
I still don't know how you knew about the bulletin boards.
I can't tell you.
But at least you know everything I say is true.
How did you find me?
I've been looking into the coalition for a better america.
One man in particular.
Malcolm janus.
Is he the same man that came to visit herb smith?
Yes, but only after the fire.
After the fire?
That means that herb smith's alive.
I'm sorry I waited so long.
I was afraid.
But I should have saidsomething.
I hope it's not too late.
Sheriff bannerman, do you know how long I've held on to this?
My father's alive.
He wants to know if we want to go to washington D.C.
Didn't we just move here?
Well,yeah.
But it wouldn't be forever.
And I need a job,and he's offered me one. I don't know.
I think it might bea nice adventure.
Something new.
I'm not sure about him.
What do you mean?I thought you guyswere getting along.
Well,yeah,sort of.
It's just that,I don't know.
I can't explain it.
Well,what?Did something happen?
He cheated at cards.
When we were playing war.
Really?
That's a crummy thing to do...
cheat a kid.
No,he did it so I could win.
Well,he was tryingto be nice.
Are you sure that's it?
I mean,it's not-it's not because you think that he and I are-
no. It was the cards.
Is there any informationon walt's computer?
Well,he had been doing researchinto janus and the cba.
Like me.
And neither of youfound out much,but...
he was looking into something calledthe global horizon ventures.
Global horizon?Faith heritage used to receivechecks from them.
I had no ideathey had a connection to cba.
Here's another surprise,gene.
They've been paying jacinta.
And this is how walt found her.
See,he was looking into janus.
He uncoveredcba's shell company.
And then found jacinta's name.
Garden of grace.
They received a lot of money.
how much does it cost to maintain a garden?
Anyway, jacinta said to stay away from the garden, because of the snakes.
But what kind of snakes?
The serpent in the garden.
So how'd it go?
Jacinta's dead.
I didn't touch smith.
Think that was a mistake?
How much do you think smith knows? Is he close?
Jacinta left a trail of breadcrumbs.
And you know what the breadcrumbs could lead to.
Do what you have to do.
I've seen these before.
They're the same flowersmy mother put next to my fatherin my visions.
Johnny,get down!
Get down.
Stay here.
Wait,john!
Sonny elliman.
Didn't he used to workfor stillson?
he was going for the door. Let's get some rope.
That ought to hold him.
I wonder where that leads.
Only one way to find out.
Uh,john?
Uh, perhaps we should, uh, call the sheriff's department.
You can go back up if you want.
No,no,no, I'm not leaving you.
I'm not going to let you downagain.
It's an exact replica of your house.
Johnny.
hey,dad.
Been a long time,huh?
I was wondering when you'd be coming by.
Only way I can keep track of you is on tv.
They keep you busy.
I haven't been on tv, dad.
I'm your son.
It's john,dad.
No, that's my son there.
you know what he's going to be.
Commander in chief.
Must be nice to get awayfrom washington sometimes.
Yeah,it is.
I'm proud of you.
Everything is working outjust the way I told them.
Told them?
Told who,dad?
Told who?
Wife.
Every presidential candidateneeds a wife.
Children.
A beautiful widow,one whose husband died a hero.
Poll numbers go way up. Thank you,vera.
Faith heritage chapel has to burn. Fresh start for everyone.
Weather lady saysit's gonna be sunny tomorrow,but she's wrong.
It's going to rain.
Don't forget your umbrella.
I know,I know. Thank you,dad.
My father thinksI'm stillson.
He thinks jacintawas my mother.
So the coalitionfor a better america built this?
They built the smith house?They recreated it?
To keep him here?
Make him think he was back home?
They used him?
As what,their personal psychic?
Janus is dead.
Who-who's in charge?
All this time,we thoughthe was a puppet.
We thought wrong,gene.
Now he's got his eyeson sarah.
So how you feeling,dad?
Sarah's gonna marry johnny.
He's a lucky man. She loves him...
very much.
He has to marry her.
If he doesn't,the world will end.
Do what you have to do.
Are you sure?
Smith stays alive, he's gonna find out there was never anybody named meeks.
He's gonna know it was owned by the cba.
He's gonna trace that straight through janus to me.
No loose ends.
I won't allow anything to come between me and sarah.
♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
So I was actually on my way back.
But I really wanted to stop by and see if you'd put any though into what I said.
Well, it's a major change.
And I have to talk to J.J about it.
And I can't give you anything definitive right now, but I am leaning towards yes.
Well, that's wonderful.
- Excuse me. - Yeah.
Hello.
- Sara - Uh,hi.
Listen,I need to talk to you right now about stillson.
Oh,well,this isn'tthe best time.
Sarah,listen to me.
If there's anyhope for usat all,if I've ever meantanything to you,listen to me right now.
Stillson is lying to you about the cabin.
What?
I saw it... in a vision.
There is no one named meeks.
The cabin is ownedby the cba.
It's an organization that stillson belongs to.
He made it all up.
He made it all upto get you.
Wait-I-I can't talk about thisright now.
Listen,stillson only caresabout one thing,and that's himself.
He is not the man that you or J.J.Think he is.
Believe me.
I'm sorry,I have to go.
Sarah-
bad news?
No,no-it's just some paperwork about the cabin.
I have people that can cut through all that. You know that.
I'm sure.
Which reminds meyou know,I nevergot mr. Meeks address so that I couldproperly thank him.
Oh yeah-no,that's no problem.
And you met him?
Yeah,yeah,he is A...
he is a terrific guy.
Really is,I'll tell ya.
There is no meeks,is there?
Was that,uh... is that what that phone callwas about?
And this cabin is owned by the cba,which means that it belongs to you?
Sarah,if you just-
you better tell mewhat the hell is going on here right now.
I know you can see things.
You can tell mewhat's gonna happen.
Yes.
Dad,I'm just like you.
I can see things.
Dad.
Dad!
Dad,it's johnny.
John is the vice president.
No.
Dad.
Daddy,they lied to you.
And they lied to me too.
But I'm here.
I am here now.
Dad,do you know about J.J.?
Sarah's son.
J.J.'S your grandson,dad.
I know that.
Can I see that?
If you're seeing this,john,it's because your father's aliveand you found him.
I'm gonna give thisto jacinta.
Remember when I took it?
I wanted to give itto your father so that he couldsee his grandson.
I'm afraid things might notwork out too well for me.
I think that they knowI'm getting too close.
So I gotta ask youa favor.
I want you to take careof sarah and J.J...
and the new baby.
It's a girl.
I asked the doctor.
But I didn't tell sarah.
Can you believe it?
A little girl.
One more thing...
when he's old enough,I want you to teach J.J.To shave.
You've been a good friend,john.
Dad,listen to me.
This is my son.
This is your grandson.
I'm john.
I'm johnny.
Johnny.
you lied to me.
Sarah,I never deceived you.
It was janus.
What,janus?Malcolm janus?
Jesus christ,sarah.
Janus is who framed walt.
What?You knew about this?
I found outlong after the fact.
Remember,sarah,I'm the onethat ended the problem.
What does that matter?He worked for you.
The day that janus died,I got a second chance.
And you're a partof that second chance.
Please...
sarah,come to washingtonwith me.
I'll take thingsas slowly as you like,I will.
But as long as you're there,nothing else really matters. Just...
I'd never do anythingto hurt you. Sarah,you know that.
Nor anyone that I cared about. But please...
- johnny was right about you. - No.
The only person you care aboutis yourself.
What,pop?
You didn't want to learnto ice skate.
You said it was too cold.
Your mother bundled you upand bought you mittens to attach to your jacket
so you wouldn't lose them.
And they hadreindeer on 'em.
We couldn't get you off the ice.
And then you fellon the ice,you hit your head.
And we were so worriedabout you. Your motherwas up all night.
But you're fine. Yes,you're fine.
Yeah,I'm fine.
Yeah,you're fine. Fine.
Sarah loves you so much.
Johnny...
Dad?
Dad!Dad. Dad,please!
These eggs are a littledifferent today,herb.
Hope you like 'em.
Gene,call 911.We gotta do something.
Gene,we gotta do something.
Dad,it's gonna be okay.
I'm not gonna leave you,okay?I'm here.
I'm here,dad. Dad.
- You have to leave. - No.
- Sarah,would you just- - no,I'm done.
Get out of my house.
- Sarah,listen,sarah! - Let go of me!
Don't touch my mom!

Would you listento me!
No,J.J.!
J.J.,Are you okay?
- J.J.,Buddy. - Honey?
J.J.,Buddy,I am sorry. I didn't mean that.
I certainly apologize.
I'm sorry about that.
There is no apologyfor what you did.
Get out of my house.
Listen to me,sarah.
No,you have nothingto say to me.
And if you evertouch my son again,I will kill you.
You were so rightabout him.
Honey,are you okay?Come here,sit down.
How's your head?I'll get you some ice.
Mom...
I saw something.
What?
Something terrible.
Terrible.
What did you see?
Something terrible.
Dad.
Stillson gone?
Back to washington.
You saw what happened,didn't you?
Yeah. You okay?
I'm not sure.
You wanna talkabout it?
Not yet.
Well,anytime you do...
I know.
He won't tell mewhat he saw.
I better gotalk to him.
He's really startingto look like me,huh?
More and more every day.
That's too bad. The poor kid.
He'd be much better offwith your eyes.
And your nose.
Go see your son.
- Hey. - Hi,dad.
