"I mean, you don't know what you did." "My man, look, you got the healing touch." " I got nothing to do with you, man." " I want to thank you." "No, I want to thank you." " I got nothing to do with you!" "I didn't do anything." " Okay." "All right." "Let's break it up here." "There's nothing to see." "Dean had nothing to do with this." "Dean?" " [coughs]" "So you're one of these guys who has, like, a huge chip on their shoulder and thinks they can go around and get mad at whoever they want, whenever they want?" " No." "No." " That was really fucked up the way you talked to Nina." "I mean, because like it or not, she does shit for our band." "And, you know..." " I shouldn't have done it, Ariel." "I said that, okay?" " I mean, I want you in the band." "I really do, Dean." "And I think you have something that's really amazing." "But you'd have to learn how to navigate your, you know, your hostilities and shit." "'Cause we have so much shit coming up and you can't just be, like, flying off the handle." "I mean, we're gonna get signed and we're gonna play out and do amazing things." " I can do it." " I don't know if you'd be ready for it." " I will not fuck it up." " I like pain killers." "Do you mind?" " No." " I don't think I heard you say sorry." " Ariel, I'm sorry." " Okay." "I could talk to The Stain." "You know, I have a way with him and he respects my opinion." " Wh... are you serious?" " Yeah." "Show up at the gig at 9:00 and you can be in the band." " Just like that?" " Cool." " Thank you." "Thank you." " Let's drink." "Live it, love it, kill it." " Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What the fuck!" " Be careful." " Get off me, man." "Let me go!" "Lay off!" "What the fuck!" " Careful." " What the fuck!" " Get him." " Get the fuck off!" "Ah!" "Fuck!" "Get the fuck off me, man!" "Get off!" "Let go!" " Come here." " What do you fuckin' want?" "What do you want, woman?" "What do you want?" " My sight." "I want my sight." "Please." "Please, heal me." "I want to see my children." " What the hell are you talking about?" "Look, I can't heal you." " Yes, you can do it." " Look, I don't know what you..." " you can do it!" " I don't know what you think I can do." "I can't do anything." " You can do it." "You can do it." " All right!" "All right!" "Just tell him to get off of me." "Just get off." " Let him go." " This is so fucked up." "This is so fucking stupid." "You got me on my fuckin' car, man." " I want to see my children." "Please, my children." "Oh, yes." "Oh, God." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Oh." "Oh." "Oh." "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!" " What was that?" "Was that Andrew?" " Aaaaaaah!" "[grunts]" " What happened?" "What happened?" " Is she dead?" " She all right?" " I see." "I see you, Father." " [coughs]" " Come on." "Come on." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" " Yo!" "Yo!" "Touch me, my man." " You can heal me, right?" "Please." "Please." "Come on, man." " Can you heal me?" " Come on, man." "Can't you heal me?" "Come on." "I know you can." "Please." "Just give me a chance, man." " Please help us." " [groans]" " Oh, shit!" "What the... ?" " Oh, I'm sorry." "I-I just..." "I was afraid that things were going to get stolen again." "Oh." " Thanks." "Thank you." " My goodness, I don't know how you... how you sleep on this thing." "It's like sleeping on a board." "Oh." "Goodness me." " Thanks." " Excuse me." "So did you hear the one about the blind woman who was healed by a man in a wheelchair?" "Retinitis pigmentosa." "An incurable disease." "But she's cured." " [exhales]" "You really believe that?" "I mean you..." "People can do that?" " Well, Dean, I-I have never seen anything like it in all my days." " It doesn't work on me." " Father Joe?" "You gonna help me?" "Huh?" "You..." "Father Joe." " Morning Harv." " You going to share that?" "You got a minute, don't you?" " No, I don't." "I got nothing for you." " Okay, Harv." " Can you help me?" " I can't help you, man." " No?" " I can't help you." "I cannot help you." " Let me just talk to you for a minute, Harv." " Okay." "Ah... ah, hell." "He's got no time for me." " Jesus." " Harv's..." "Harv's got a terrible heart." "You think you could just touch him?" " Don't do that to me, man." "Don't do that." " You're right." "I'm sorry." "Sorry." "It was wrong of me." "I'm sorry." "Dean, I know someone you could talk to who knows much more about this than I do." "Just think about it, okay?" " In our faith, there's a long history of these very special moments." "And God has frequently chosen the most unexpected person to carry them through." " It's a real, a real privilege, Dean." " Well, if it's so real, why doesn't it always work?" " Ah, well, there's a dual view here." "Anything is possible with God, but God may not want to give you what you want." " Why?" " Because God cares for your soul." "And what your soul needs may not be what you want." " But come on, man, that's not cool." " Well, I think you're asking the right questions, Dean, but you're not waiting for the right answers." "There's only one answer." "Pray." " Look, man, I did pray." "All right?" "I tried praying." "It doesn't work." " I think you were bargaining for the healing, Dean." "And that is not the same thing." "I think you should say hello to God." " Yeah, what if I'm pissed off at God?" "What if I think God's bullshit?" " I would say hello first and then tell him he's bullshit and you're pissed off." "Look at me, son." "God is trying to say hello to you and to tell you that healing is possible." "Now how are you going to respond?" "Because that's the big question." "Something magical, wondrous is happening through you." "You're having a calling in this life and that, my son, is your healing." " What if you don't want... ?" "I mean, I don't want that." "You know, what if you don't want a calling?" " I think you should try this gift." " Yeah, but what about my music?" "That's my calling." " There's no difference between you being a musician and healing." " What are you talking about?" "What am I supposed to do?" "Go around touching people?" " Why not?" " And be a DJ?" " Why not?" "I mean, you have a calling." "You have a gift." "Do it, try it." " How?" " Come down to skid." "Dean." "I have no lack of people who need healings down in skid row." "Do a few days down there." " But I don't want everybody knowing about it, Padre." "They're already coming up to me." "You saw it." " How about I give you a hotel room?" "That's what I'll do." "I'll put you up in a hotel room for a few days." "When I came down the skid, it wasn't to be a feeder's alley." "I went down there to build a state-of-the-art homeless shelter." "I could feed people," "I could get them off the streets," "I could educate them, and I could put them back into society." "I don't want to sustain misery in skid row." " Do you think I..." "Do you really think I could be healed?" " Entirely possible." " All right." " Right." " I got to go now." "I really got to go." " Go where?" " I got the gig." " Okay, let's go." "Let's go." " Can you drop me off at the gig?" " Sure, where?" "The gig?" " The motel." " What motel?" " The motel you just offered me." " Yes, duh." "Sure." "[live music]" "♪ ♪" " Who is it?"

"Are your trolling for crumbs?" "Fuck off." "Go on." " My one and only groupie, Dean." " What the hell are you doing here, man?" " Dude, man, you fucking fried your fuck up."

"He's off to the side juggling his trinkets." " Dude, he just said "puffed up pope."" "Dude, Dean, come on, man." "Just puff on this peace pipe pal." " [chuckles] [sizzling]" " Ow!"

"It wasn't a fucking trick." " What the fuck was that?" " Shit, bro." " Hey!" "What the fuck was that?" "What were you doing in there?" "I told him that you ap... you think they give a fuck what I'm saying?" "[throws down wheelchair]" "Are you a-a magician?" "Do you need me to help?" " No, I don't want your fucking help." "Did I ask for your help?" " So, what, you to come to people's places, like, doing party tricks and shit?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "It was a party trick." "Okay?" "It was a stupid fucking party trick and just forget you ever saw it." "What are you doing?" "Get out." "Get out of the fucking... get out of the fucking car, Ariel." " No. [laughs]" " Get out of the car!" " [laughs]" "You're not going to win this battle." "[laughs]" "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry." "Okay?" "So this is where you live?" " Yeah." " I love it."

" Huh." "It's a curse. [chuckles]" " Dean, this is Maria Lupita." "She has emphysema." "She hasn't spoken to her family." "Her family hasn't spoken to her in years." "She's alone in this world, Dean." " Ah!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "[applause]" " Thank you, Jesus!" " Thank you, Jesus!" " Amazing." "Amazing." " A miracle." "It's amazing." " I can't believe it." " I don't want to hear their names anymore, okay?" "Of the people." "Or what they have." "Like the medical history and all that." "None of that." "No chitchat." "Just bring them to me." " Dean, I got to tell you, in all my work, not in Africa, or the Favelas in Rio, or working here feeding the homeless have I ever seen the grace that I saw today." "It's a real blessing, Dean." "I-I-I hope you understand that." " Mmm." "How much money did we make today?" "With the donations?" " Dean, I-I can't pay you to lay hands, Dean." "That's God working through you." "I can't..." "I can't pay you to do that." "I'm already paying for your hotel room." " Yeah, $39.99 a night." " Which is a fortune for us down here." "Do you know how many people I can feed with that kind of money?" "I know..." "I know it's..." "how about... how about I give you a few extra dollars a day?" "Just to help out with incidentals." "Toothpaste." "Gas." " How much?" " Ma... $40... $42 a day." " On top of the $39?" " Are you kidding me?" " $42 total?" " $42." " Well, I drive a guzzler, Padre."

"In these precious moments, when life-saving decisions could have been made, what was on the mind of the rock star," "Dean O'Dwyer?" "What was he thinking as Ariel Lee lay at his feet, taking her last breath?" "Was he thinking, "wow, what a show." "How are we going to recreate this?"" "Because I can tell you this, he was not thinking about Ariel Lee because if he was, help would have gotten to Ariel Lee and she might be here today." "And that, by definition, is manslaughter." " This is a tragedy to say the least." "We are all absolutely devastated." "Delicious D's actions were selfless and heroic and we ask for your sensitivity at this time." "Ariel Lee did not die because of neglect." "Ariel Lee died because she OD'd." " They were..." "people said they were healed." " Dean, man, you should have let the paramedics at her because you couldn't heal her or whatever happened." "I don't know what happened." "Maybe you did too much." " Just remember, you are under oath, so just..." "just tell us the truth." " I say he is the living embodiment of all that is good in humankind." " We all want to know there's good in people." "And I'm no exception to that." "The crowd was chanting for her to be healed." "They thought it was all part of the show." "I grabbed the mike to call for help, but power had been cut to the stage and the paramedics had been blocked." "I didn't get to say what needed to be said that night." "So I'm going to say what needs to be said now." "And it's something I've been asked not to say by Dean O'Dwyer and Nina Hogue." "Objection." " Your honor, sidebar please." " And that is that he's a fake." " Sidebar." " He's a phony." " Objection!" " He's a fraud." " Order!" " This charlatan son of a bitch!" " Bailiff, remove him." " He can't heal shit!" "It was all a fucking act!" "You were all duped!" " Order!" " He never could heal!" "You bought a fucking lie!" "Well, welcome to the fucking show!" " As the religious authority figure who first encouraged this gift, you can testify to Dean's healing technique and his intense concentration, which would have been interrupted by the paramedics." "In that regard, that makes you our expert witness." " And character witness describing Dean's early healings on skid row." "How selfless he was." "How pure his motives were." "Mr. O'Dwyer has graciously agreed free of charge and for a designated period of time to come down to skid row and lay hands on whomever you wish." " In exchange for my testimony?" " Yes." " No." "No." " Can I speak to Dean alone for a moment please?" " You do what you think is right, Father." "By the way, just so you know," "I'm a Marymount girl and I-I had the calling to be a nun, but I lost my way." "Maybe sometime we'd get together and talk about that." " Certainly." " Thank you, Father." " Thank you, Father." " Something else, huh?" " I, um, I brought you something." "Show you some of the good work you did." "That Mexican woman whose handkerchief you touched, you healed her husband, Dean." "You healed him." "The cloth, it carried the power." "I should have touched Healapalooza hankies, huh?" "Sold them at the t-shirt booths." "They're trying to say that I killed somebody." "That's bullshit." "They're just coming after me because of who I am." "Ariel was a junkie." "She took a bunch of pills." "And I did everything I could." "I thought it was working." " It's hard to know, isn't it?" " Okay." "All right." "Let's make it right." "What can I do for you?" "What can I do for your shelter?" "How about this?" "[tears out check]" "The Lord works in mysterious ways." "Think of all those people you'll be able to help." " I-I owe you an apology, Dean." "I misused you." " It's okay." "I forgive you." "You want to help me?" "Do this." "Do this for me." " I'll testify for you." "I'll testify to the healings that I saw, but that's it." "I won't be your character witness because I-I won't get on that stand and say that..." "that your motives were pure." " What were my motives?" " I don't know, Dean." "All I know is that you abandoned those people when they needed you." "You abandoned them to become a rock star." " That's what you're gonna say?" " I'm not gonna lie." " Oh!" "No!" "No, you can't lie." "You're too good for that." "You can't con people." "You don't use people for your own glory." "You don't do anything like that." "What if on cross-examination, my lawyer asks what were your motives?" "Two hundred and fifty grand." " That has no bearing on any of this, Dean." " Oh, yes, it does." " No, it doesn't." " Oh, yes it does." " No." " You are the inspiration for this whole thing." "Paying for miracles." "Where did I get that from?" "So let's just say, Father, that you're gonna get on the stand and you're gonna tell the fucking truth." " The truth is is that you prostituted your gift." " No, the truth is you prostituted me." " That is not true." " Prove it isn't." "Can you put your hand on your Bible and say you didn't do that?" " Dean, I have admitted my wrongs, all right?" "But I am not gonna repeat them." " [scoffs] That's great." "That's really fucking holy of you, Father." "[tears check]" "I'll see you in hell." " Fuck you." "Fuck you." "Fuck you!" "Fuck you, Dean O'Dwyer." "You think, what... you think..." "you think... you think this means anything to me?" "You think you can buy me?" "You think I'm for sale?" "I'm not like you." "You're not gonna ruin my life twice." " You sold me out!" "For your own fucking sainthood!" " I tried..." " and you're doing it again right now!" " I tried to save you." "I tried to give that gift to the people..." " you didn't do anything for me!" " Who it belongs to." "Your God-given gift, my friend." " You're a bullshit priest!" "You are a fucking fraud!" " How dare you." "You are the most selfish..." " I am out there every night for the masses!" "You've got a God-given gift." "And what did you do?" "You used it for yourself!" " Is everything all right?" " Forgive me." "Excuse me." " And that is why you are here today, Father." "Now, Father, I can't help but notice that you are in your civilian clothes today." " Yes." " Mm-hmm." "Now, is there any particular reason for that?" " I'm on a leave of absence." " Okay." "But you are an ordained Catholic priest these past 16 years." " That's correct." " Okay." "Now, the Catholic Church believes in hands-on healing." "It is described as a genuine gift of the Holy Spirit." "So now, Father Rosselli, can you, as a modern priest, come before us today and say that he has the power to heal?" "Because it all comes down to this:" "If Dean O'Dwyer cannot heal, then this was a show and a talented young woman is dead because of it." "So, Father, in your expert opinion, does Dean O'Dwyer have the ability to heal?" " God." "God is the only healer." " Objection, your honor." "Speculation." " How can that be speculation when I've asked your own witness to..." " we are not speaking of a metaphorical healing here, your honor." " Order." "Order!" " He is making a mockery of this court." " I'll have order in my court, counsel." " Permission to redirect the honor..." " counsel!" " The witness." "Your honor, please." "[jail door shuts]" " What's up?" " How are you?" "I wanna help you get out of here as quickly as possible." "Programs for disabled prisoners are limited obviously, but there are some, and I think you should get involved." " I got nothing but time in here." "And I wanted to be so pissed at you." "But all I can think is how bad I fucked everything up." "Nah, just take your time, Dean." "Keep your nose clean." " What the hell was I thinking?" "You know, what was I doing?" "What was I supposed to do?" "You were supposed to let the paramedics come up and do their job." "There's... there's one program in particular that I... that I think you'd be good for." "It's a... it's a work detail." "You get to leave prison grounds to do community service." " You know if I got out of here, I don't know where I'd start." "I got nothing." "I can't help myself." "I can't..." "I need help." "I need..." " Sorry, Dean." "I tried to control your gift." "I wanted to be more than what I was and I wanted you to be someone you weren't." "I'm not a priest anymore, Dean." " Look..." "I know you thought you were helping me, but nothing helps." "Maybe you can't help everybody." " No, no." "You know what?" "You know when you helped me?" " When you fed me." "You fed me." "You fed people." "A crippled work program?" "What are we going to do?" " Hang on a second." " Get back over here!" " Let's go, gentlemen!" " Let's move it!" "Move it!" "Come on!" " That's really nice." " Huh?" "I like the shirts." "These are pretty nice." "I like the green." "I like the red." "I can get both of them and wear them for Christmas." " Yeah." " We need the sweaters." "Where are the sweaters?" " Excuse me." " Yes." "Hello." " Hi." "Do you carry sweaters?" " Yes." " Something for him with like a tight weave and a bright color." "That'd be great." " Do you like these?" "The striped one?" " Oh, yeah, striped one." "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "You know what?" "The... the..." "let's try the purple." " Purple?" " Yeah." " Okay." "This one?" " Yeah." " Nice." "That looks nice." " Oh, wow." "Think it's so cool." "Beautiful." "Do you like it?" " It's so nice." " It looks good?" " So nice." " Ho!" "Ho!" " What?" " Oh, my." " Are you okay?" " Sweet Jesus." " No, no." " Honey." "Honey, this is it." " No." " This is it." "Yes." "Oh, sweet Jesus." "Yes." " Yes." " Yes?" " Yes?" " Yes!" "Oh, my." " Hallelujah." " Oh, my gosh." " Hallelujah!" "Hallelujah!" " Come on." "Let's go over here." "[chair lift lowering]" " Got it back there?" " Okay, bring him up." "[chair lift raising]" " Put it back then lock it down." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Who are you?" " O'Dwyer." " 1264 Paris C." " What did you say your name was again?" " Just let me on the bus, man." " Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Hold on." "I don't know what to tell you, but you're not on the list." "Look, I don't know how you got the outfit or what kind of prank you're trying to pull here, but this is a state facility bus and these are convicted prisoners." "So what you're doing here is not a joke, it's actually a crime." " All right, that's funny." " What, have you lost your mind?" "I have seen everything now." "You better run along." "Look at this." "It's so bad out here, we got a guy begging to come with you." " All right." "I'll tell you what, you go do like a stick up or something like that and we'll find a seat for you, okay?" " Okay."
