was the Word.

And the Word was with God
and the Word was God.

So, from the starting g*n,
it's all about the Word.

All about communication.

Couple million millennia go by,
along comes man.

God wants somebody
to chat with.

Turns out man wants
more than that.

Man wants the gossip page
and phone sex,

re-runs of "Seinfeld,"
and auctions in cyberspace.

Man's got his own plan
as far as communication goes

and the inventions
to see it through.

And poor God.

Jerry Heekin waited four years

Three strikes, right?

So, hoping for a deal
he goes to the FBI,

says he saw you dump
Bryce Tibbets' body.

Now whether he did or not
is immaterial

because I think your pal,
Agent Taylor,

helped him fill in
most of the details.

In Heekin's initial conversation
with the FBI...

he doesn't say anything
about the flashlight.

Only afterwards,
to the D.A.,

does he add the flashlight
to the story,

which is bullshit, right?

Because you would've
noticed somebody

shining a flashlight on you,

especially if you're dumping
a dead body.

- Christ almighty, this is what
I kept saying to McClain.

- Well, the bottom line is,

he can cut a deal with the D.A.

that Heekin made up
the whole story

by Agent Taylor.
