[flames crackling]
3
00:00:08,937 --> 00:00:12,069
[woman narrating] Sometimes
all it takes is a spark.
4
00:00:12,071 --> 00:00:14,402
Something very small.
5
00:00:15,402 --> 00:00:17,702
But the spark becomes a flame.
6
00:00:17,704 --> 00:00:21,468
And if that flame spreads, the
power can be so overwhelming
7
00:00:21,470 --> 00:00:22,934
it transforms everything
around it.

00:00:22,936 --> 00:00:24,435
[people chattering]

00:00:24,437 --> 00:00:27,601
[female newscaster] We begin with breaking
news from Hope Springs, Arkansas.
10
00:00:27,603 --> 00:00:30,400
[male newscaster] People are up in arms,
speaking out against what they believe...
11
00:00:30,402 --> 00:00:32,868
[female newscaster 2] ...only religious
leader who refused to abide the mandate.
12
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:34,934
David Hill, you're under arrest.
Contempt of court.
13
00:00:34,936 --> 00:00:37,001
You failed to produce your
sermons upon court order.
14
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:39,734
- Please put your hands behind your back.
- [handcuffs ratcheting]
15
00:00:39,736 --> 00:00:43,534
[man] The state is
overstepping its bounds.
16
00:00:43,536 --> 00:00:45,867
- [police radio chatter]
- [siren wailing]
17
00:00:45,869 --> 00:00:48,400
[woman] A subpoena of sermons
is needless and unprecedented.
18
00:00:48,402 --> 00:00:51,268
[man 2] This is a witch hunt
to silence the victim.
19
00:01:02,401 --> 00:01:05,001
[male newscaster] We're seeing more
and more protests around the city
20
00:01:05,003 --> 00:01:07,933
since local pastor, David Hill, was
arrested for contempt of court.
21
00:01:07,935 --> 00:01:11,800
Hill refused to abide by a
controversial government mandate
22
00:01:11,802 --> 00:01:14,933
to turn over transcripts of his
sermons to city officials.
23
00:01:14,935 --> 00:01:17,800
And right now, a contentious
and heated free speech debate
24
00:01:17,802 --> 00:01:22,100
is threatening to boil over while the
pastor sits in jail waiting for a ruling.
25
00:01:22,102 --> 00:01:24,400

00:01:31,934 --> 00:01:33,535
Let's go.
29
00:01:37,101 --> 00:01:38,801
[buzzer sounds]
30
00:01:47,334 --> 00:01:48,733
Appreciate it.
31
00:01:49,734 --> 00:01:50,932
- Hey.
- Jude.
32
00:01:50,934 --> 00:01:52,665
[laughing]
33
00:01:52,667 --> 00:01:54,601
Ah.
34
00:01:56,067 --> 00:01:57,698
You wanna get
some waffles?
35
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:00,531
Of course I wanna
get some waffles.
36
00:02:00,533 --> 00:02:03,664
[crowd cheering] Free Reverend Dave!
Free Reverend Dave!
37
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:06,698
Free Reverend Dave!
Free Reverend Dave!
38
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:08,931
[woman] Reverend, what do you have
to say about being released today?
39
00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:11,098
I am grateful to the court
that they recognize
40
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,396
that this mandate
was unconstitutional.
41
00:02:13,398 --> 00:02:15,431
I think this is more
of a human rights issue.
42
00:02:15,433 --> 00:02:17,097
It's about our right
to see truth
43
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:18,698
and to share that truth
with others.
44
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,064
[woman] But considering your church is
associated with a public university,
45
00:02:22,066 --> 00:02:24,530
how do you define
"truth" exactly?
46
00:02:24,532 --> 00:02:26,565
Truth is a person.
47
00:02:28,066 --> 00:02:30,530
The person of Jesus Christ.
48
00:02:30,532 --> 00:02:33,330
It's the one truth
above all others.
49
00:02:33,332 --> 00:02:36,064
What do you have to say to the people here
who are calling you an embarrassment?
50
00:02:36,066 --> 00:02:38,797
[man] Jesus Christ is the one truth?
Really?
51
00:02:38,799 --> 00:02:40,797
This guy just can't
help himself, can he?
52
00:02:40,799 --> 00:02:43,796
This guy is a pastor who was
jailed for his beliefs.
53
00:02:43,798 --> 00:02:46,529
What if it was a Jewish rabbi
that said there was one truth?
54
00:02:46,531 --> 00:02:49,097
- Or a Muslim imam?
- They have that right. Freedom of worship.
55
00:02:49,099 --> 00:02:52,395
In places of worship. But
Hadleigh is a state university.
56
00:02:52,397 --> 00:02:53,863
See, and that's the question,
y'all.
57
00:02:53,865 --> 00:02:56,530
What's a church doing on a state
campus in the first place?
58
00:02:56,532 --> 00:02:58,296
We're seeing more and more
protests around the city.
59
00:02:58,298 --> 00:03:02,063
Students are actually calling for the removal
of Saint James from Hadleigh campus altogether.
60
00:03:02,065 --> 00:03:04,462
As the battle rages on
in Hope Springs...
61
00:03:04,464 --> 00:03:06,795
[woman] A historic landmark
that has served this community
62
00:03:06,797 --> 00:03:07,996
for over a century.
63
00:03:07,998 --> 00:03:09,696
And now they want
the church gone.
64
00:03:09,698 --> 00:03:12,598
This is what
our country has come to.
65
00:03:24,098 --> 00:03:26,929
[siren wailing in distance]
66
00:03:26,931 --> 00:03:28,597
[man singing on radio, faint]
67
00:03:29,663 --> 00:03:31,928
You gonna ask her out,
or what?
68
00:03:31,930 --> 00:03:33,962
Excuse me?
69
00:03:33,964 --> 00:03:36,528
We drive all the way
out here every week,
70
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:38,394
drop off all this food.
71
00:03:38,396 --> 00:03:40,461
Why don't you finally
ask the girl out?
72
00:03:40,463 --> 00:03:42,328
She feeds homeless people,
Jude.
73
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:43,660
That's why
we donate the food.
74
00:03:43,662 --> 00:03:45,794
Yes, but she obviously
likes you.
75
00:03:45,796 --> 00:03:47,527
No way.
76
00:03:47,529 --> 00:03:50,795
What's a six-letter word
for "clueless"?
77
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:53,994
Funny. You're still
working on that thing?
78
00:03:53,996 --> 00:03:56,396
I'm much faster
when it's in Swahili.
79
00:03:57,330 --> 00:03:58,961
Fair enough.
80
00:03:58,963 --> 00:04:00,861
[chattering]
81
00:04:00,863 --> 00:04:04,262
[waitress] This tab's already been paid.
You guys enjoy.
82
00:04:05,729 --> 00:04:08,526
- Hey, convict.
- Hey.
83
00:04:08,528 --> 00:04:10,794
Just can't stay out of the
news these days, can you?
84
00:04:10,796 --> 00:04:14,927
[chuckling] Yeah, I've never had
so many people care what I think.
85
00:04:14,929 --> 00:04:17,460
Well, I'm on your side.
You know that.
86
00:04:17,462 --> 00:04:19,926
- Busy today, huh?
- Busy's good.
87
00:04:19,928 --> 00:04:21,659
More people to feed,
the better.
88
00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:23,426
Hey, thank your congregation
for all this.
89
00:04:23,428 --> 00:04:25,927
Couldn't do it without y'all.
90
00:04:25,929 --> 00:04:27,926
I'll see you next Saturday.
91
00:04:27,928 --> 00:04:29,561
Hold up.
92
00:04:31,394 --> 00:04:33,826
From last night.
93
00:04:33,828 --> 00:04:35,793
Pork chops
turned out great.
94
00:04:35,795 --> 00:04:37,394
Thanks.
95
00:04:41,394 --> 00:04:44,261
- [car door opens]
- [bell dings]
96
00:04:51,061 --> 00:04:53,695
- Told you.
- Who asked you?
97
00:04:58,094 --> 00:05:01,925
[crowd shouting]
98
00:05:01,927 --> 00:05:05,793
We don't want you here!
99
00:05:12,392 --> 00:05:14,324
Wonder what my father
would think.
100
00:05:14,326 --> 00:05:17,724
When he was a pastor, he'd leave
these doors open day and night.
101
00:05:17,726 --> 00:05:19,391
Didn't matter.
102
00:05:19,393 --> 00:05:22,524
Now we hire armed security
guards to protect us
103
00:05:22,526 --> 00:05:24,791
from the same people we're
supposed to be ministering to.
104
00:05:24,793 --> 00:05:28,058
It's just fear, David,
and it can be overcome.
105
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:29,791
You know this.
106
00:05:29,793 --> 00:05:32,390
- Do you ever complain?
- You know where I come from.
107
00:05:32,392 --> 00:05:34,924
I've seen my share
of struggles.
108
00:05:34,926 --> 00:05:37,557
But one thing
has never changed.
109
00:05:37,559 --> 00:05:40,923
God is good
all the time.
110
00:05:40,925 --> 00:05:44,259
And all the time,
God is good.
111
00:05:45,926 --> 00:05:49,791
[Dave] I appreciate you all braving
the angry mobs and picketers.
112
00:05:49,793 --> 00:05:52,957
But even with all the noise
going on out there,
113
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:57,823
I just want to assure you that Saint James
has been around for over 150 years,
114
00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:02,523
and despite what those picket signs say
out there, we're not going anywhere.
115
00:06:02,525 --> 00:06:06,456
- Amen!
- Now, looking forward, I have some very good news.
116
00:06:06,458 --> 00:06:08,792
Jude,
you want to come up?
117
00:06:12,457 --> 00:06:14,956
I couldn't be happier
to share
118
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:17,523
that our very own
Jude Mbaye
119
00:06:17,525 --> 00:06:20,655
has accepted a permanent position
with us here at Saint James
120
00:06:20,657 --> 00:06:22,455
as my co-pastor.
121
00:06:22,457 --> 00:06:24,655
Amen. Welcome, brother.
122
00:06:24,657 --> 00:06:26,390
Thank you.
123
00:06:27,824 --> 00:06:31,454
[Dave] You know, I realized tonight
that, uh, it's been a long time
124
00:06:31,456 --> 00:06:34,789
since I've felt like I had
a real brother in my life.
125
00:06:34,791 --> 00:06:38,689
[chuckling] David, are you
sharing your feelings?
126
00:06:38,691 --> 00:06:40,655
Okay, let's not make
a big deal out of it.
127
00:06:40,657 --> 00:06:44,056
I'm just saying
that I'm grateful for you.
128
00:06:44,058 --> 00:06:45,654
I'm excited.
129
00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:49,321
I feel the same. Now, can
we get some waffles?
130
00:06:49,323 --> 00:06:50,523
[laughing]
131
00:06:51,389 --> 00:06:53,555
- [alarm blaring]
- What was that?
132
00:06:53,557 --> 00:06:54,921
I don't know.
133
00:06:54,923 --> 00:06:57,389
[alarm continues blaring]
134
00:06:58,923 --> 00:07:01,554
- Hey! Hey! Get back here!
- David!
135
00:07:01,556 --> 00:07:03,389
David, no!
136
00:07:11,857 --> 00:07:13,688
[sighs]
137
00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:16,954
- [Dave] Ah.
- You call the police. I'll shut off the alarm.
138
00:07:16,956 --> 00:07:18,589
Yeah.
139
00:07:20,822 --> 00:07:24,653
Yeah, this is, uh, Reverend David Hill.
I'm a pastor at Saint James.
140
00:07:24,655 --> 00:07:25,987
[beeping]
141
00:07:25,989 --> 00:07:27,589
[alarm stops]
142
00:07:37,388 --> 00:07:38,786
Well, no,
it's not an emergency.
143
00:07:38,788 --> 00:07:42,654
It's just a... uh... It was a
broken window to the basement.
144
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,785
- [grunts]
- [shouts]
145
00:08:04,787 --> 00:08:06,551
[alarm blaring]
146
00:08:06,553 --> 00:08:07,821
Jude?
147
00:08:09,553 --> 00:08:10,821
Jude?
148
00:08:13,654 --> 00:08:16,521
[coughing]
Jude?
149
00:08:22,054 --> 00:08:24,653
Jude!
150
00:08:25,787 --> 00:08:28,518
- Oh, no.
- David.
151
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,385
You're gonna be okay.
All right?
152
00:08:32,054 --> 00:08:34,651
- Stay with me.
- Okay.
153
00:08:34,653 --> 00:08:36,653
[grunting]
154
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Come on.
155
00:08:40,986 --> 00:08:42,519
[grunting]
156
00:08:43,686 --> 00:08:45,652
[grunting continues]
157
00:08:48,787 --> 00:08:49,784
[grunts]
158
00:08:49,786 --> 00:08:51,652
[alarm continues blaring]
159
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:55,417
[grunts]
160
00:08:55,419 --> 00:08:59,517
Jude, I'm gonna get you
out of here. Okay?
161
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:00,519
- Okay.
- Stay with me.
162
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,818
Please, God, help me.
[grunting]
163
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,384
[grunting continues]
164
00:09:19,685 --> 00:09:22,651
No, no. [coughing]
165
00:09:32,785 --> 00:09:34,783
[coughing]
Dave.
166
00:09:34,785 --> 00:09:38,049
Don't talk, brother.
Don't talk. Just stay with me.
167
00:09:38,051 --> 00:09:41,682
Help is coming.
Hold on, Jude. It's okay.
168
00:09:41,684 --> 00:09:44,682
[speaking Swahili]
169
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:45,784
What?
170
00:09:47,317 --> 00:09:49,849
[Swahili continues]
171
00:09:49,851 --> 00:09:53,315
- What are you saying? What does that mean?
- [sirens approaching]
172
00:09:53,317 --> 00:09:55,382
- [exhales]
- Jude?
173
00:09:56,051 --> 00:09:57,784
Jude.
174
00:09:58,983 --> 00:10:01,381
- Jude?

Don't leave me, man.
177
00:10:07,917 --> 00:10:09,516

[woman]
I'm so tired of all the noise.
183
00:11:01,781 --> 00:11:03,645
Everyone yelling.
184
00:11:03,647 --> 00:11:06,647
On the news.
In the classroom.
185
00:11:08,082 --> 00:11:09,847
Even in church.

187
00:11:11,948 --> 00:11:14,247
I can barely hear you anymore.
188

Are you even there?
189
00:11:26,713 --> 00:11:28,280
I hope you are.

00:11:31,546 --> 00:11:33,681
'Cause I feel so lost, God.

00:11:37,913 --> 00:11:39,713
when you don't talk back,
so...
193
00:11:42,047 --> 00:11:44,246
wherever you are...
194
00:11:45,713 --> 00:11:47,646
I'm still here.
195
00:11:48,913 --> 00:11:51,045
Hey.
196
00:11:51,047 --> 00:11:52,711
- Hi.
- [kisses]
197
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:54,778
I stopped at Stella's,
got you the good stuff.
198
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:57,910
- My hero. Thank you.
- I know. You're welcome.
199
00:11:57,912 --> 00:11:59,678
- How was your day?
- Good.
200
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:03,512
- [phone buzzing]
- Wow, this looks, uh, fun.
201
00:12:06,812 --> 00:12:08,579
You can get it
if you want.
202
00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:12,044
- It's Sunday.
- Oh, that's right.
203
00:12:12,046 --> 00:12:14,376
You're...
"in church."
204
00:12:14,378 --> 00:12:16,910
- Don't be a jerk.
- Why don't you just tell 'em?
205
00:12:16,912 --> 00:12:21,043
Adam, my parents would be devastated if
they found out I was even questioning.
206
00:12:21,045 --> 00:12:24,044
- Okay, you have no idea.
- Yeah, I do.
207
00:12:24,046 --> 00:12:26,376
I did my time as a kid,
remember?
208
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:28,844
I just got out
sooner than you did.
209
00:12:28,846 --> 00:12:30,511
Okay, can we not
talk about this?
210
00:12:32,511 --> 00:12:33,679
Sure.
211
00:12:36,978 --> 00:12:38,678
I get it.
212
00:12:40,045 --> 00:12:42,043
What you're
going through.
213
00:12:42,045 --> 00:12:43,711
I really do.
214
00:12:46,777 --> 00:12:49,043
Okay, go to your study group.
I have work to do.
215
00:12:49,045 --> 00:12:51,244
- Are you kicking me out?
- Mm-hmm.
216
00:12:52,078 --> 00:12:54,308
Fine. See you later.
217
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:56,644
Okay. Bye.
Thanks for the snack.
218
00:13:08,677 --> 00:13:10,709
[door opens]
219
00:13:10,711 --> 00:13:13,975
- [woman] Okay, wait, wait. So, let me get this straight.
- [laughter]
220
00:13:13,977 --> 00:13:18,441
So, you're saying that because the
Kit Kat logo doesn't have a hyphen,
221
00:13:18,443 --> 00:13:20,374
it proves there are
multiple realities?
222
00:13:20,376 --> 00:13:22,641
Hey, look, you're oversimplifying,
but, yes, exactly.
223
00:13:22,643 --> 00:13:24,674
How am I oversimplifying?
That's exactly what you said.
224
00:13:24,676 --> 00:13:26,908
Yeah, but it's not just Kit Kat though.
It's a lot of things.
225
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:29,507
- Like what?
- Like Curious George used to have a tail.
226
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:31,307
- But now he doesn't.
- What?
227
00:13:31,309 --> 00:13:32,608
- "Used to"?
- Yeah.
228
00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:35,707
- No, it didn't change. People just remember it wrong.
- Look it up.
229
00:13:35,709 --> 00:13:38,374
Okay, but maybe it did change.
Maybe it did change.
230
00:13:38,376 --> 00:13:40,640
Curious George
does not have a tail?
231
00:13:40,642 --> 00:13:41,409
- No.
- On it.
232
00:13:42,809 --> 00:13:44,774
[woman] My whole life's a lie.
233
00:13:44,776 --> 00:13:47,041
- This is freaking me out.
- You haven't heard about this?
234
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:49,907
- No!
- No, it's called the Mandela Effect.
235
00:13:49,909 --> 00:13:53,041
Millions of people thought that Nelson
Mandela died in prison in the '80s,
236
00:13:53,043 --> 00:13:54,239
but he didn't.
237
00:13:54,241 --> 00:13:56,774
The theory is our reality
collided with a parallel reality.
238
00:13:56,776 --> 00:14:00,773
Right, where Kit Kat has no hyphen
and Curious George has no tail.
239
00:14:00,775 --> 00:14:01,940
- That's right.
- Okay.
240
00:14:01,942 --> 00:14:05,639
Look, it's science, yo, okay?
Quantum physics. Look it up.
241
00:14:05,641 --> 00:14:07,207
Do you guys seriously not hear
how ridiculous you sound?
242
00:14:07,209 --> 00:14:10,773
Okay, but God had himself a human son who
could walk on water and multiply fish,
243
00:14:10,775 --> 00:14:11,940
and that's not ridiculous?
244
00:14:11,942 --> 00:14:15,439
So, yeah, given the choice,
I'm taking the Kit Kat theory.
245
00:14:15,441 --> 00:14:17,773
And if we get lucky, maybe
we'll collide with a reality
246
00:14:17,775 --> 00:14:21,039
where our school isn't poisoned by
Reverend Dave and his one truth.
247
00:14:21,041 --> 00:14:22,506
- Ooh.
- Preach it.
248
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:24,638
You just don't get it
'cause you're one of 'em, K.
249
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,405
Not really.
250
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,073
I mean, not anymore.
251
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:29,507
Excuse me?
252
00:14:30,708 --> 00:14:35,506
- What?
- Okay, if you're not one of them, then what are you?
253
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:37,039
What am I?
254
00:14:37,041 --> 00:14:40,240
I'm annoyed by you
because you're annoying.
255
00:14:40,774 --> 00:14:42,640
I have to go.
256
00:14:45,407 --> 00:14:47,371

- Thanks, Teo.

- Look, I didn't mean anything by it.
- I know. It's fine.
261
00:14:56,540 --> 00:14:59,573
- I have a chem test tomorrow. I have to study.
- We were just joking.

I don't care what you
believe and don't believe,
264
00:15:04,506 --> 00:15:06,304
and I don't have
a problem with God.
265
00:15:06,306 --> 00:15:07,839
Yeah, but you do, Adam.
Okay?
266
00:15:07,841 --> 00:15:10,639
You say it's just the church or
religion or whatever, but...

268

I'm so tired of having this same
conversation over and over again with you.
269

Yeah, me too.
270
00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:23,506
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:15:25,906 --> 00:15:27,638
Okay?

- I know.
- Okay.

I think I...
274
00:15:41,538 --> 00:15:44,238
I think I just need
some time right now.

No, come on. Don't...
280
00:16:01,971 --> 00:16:04,569
Don't do that.
281
00:16:04,571 --> 00:16:07,504

Come on.

[male newscaster] The city
was in shock late last night
336

when a tragic fire
broke out at Saint James.
337
00:20:28,395 --> 00:20:30,526
That is the controversial church
on the campus

the case as a hate-crime homicide.

00:20:57,028 --> 00:20:59,492
It just invites violence
like this.
346
00:20:59,494 --> 00:21:02,360
What else is it gonna take
for people to wake up?
347
00:21:05,028 --> 00:21:08,558
The church has brought nothing but
controversy to the school for years.
348
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,026
- It's time.
- Our enrollment is down 18 percent.
349
00:21:12,028 --> 00:21:15,025
We stand to lose
$15 million this year alone.
350
00:21:15,027 --> 00:21:19,292
I'm well aware of that, but we can't
pin all of this on Saint James.
351
00:21:19,294 --> 00:21:24,357
Well, this university is in the midst of an
identity crisis, Tom, because of Saint James.
352
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,891
- We're moving backwards.
- This is wrong.
353
00:21:26,893 --> 00:21:29,357
The church
is a historic landmark.
354
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,758
It was here
before the university.
355
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,025
Dave...
is a good man.
356
00:21:36,027 --> 00:21:39,291
What about Jude,
the one who died?
357
00:21:39,293 --> 00:21:41,491
I'm sure he was
a good man too.
358
00:21:41,493 --> 00:21:44,657
Barbara,
with all due respect,
359
00:21:44,659 --> 00:21:48,356
if we kick the church off campus
now after what just happened,
360
00:21:48,358 --> 00:21:49,758
how do you think
that's gonna look?
361
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,624
We're gonna look bad
no matter what we do.
362
00:21:52,626 --> 00:21:56,359
But in the long run, this is
what's best for the students.
363
00:21:57,759 --> 00:21:59,358
Okay.
364
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,625
Tom, I think you should be the
one to talk to Reverend Dave.
365
00:22:05,892 --> 00:22:07,790
Dave is my friend.
366
00:22:07,792 --> 00:22:10,357

We love you.
373
00:23:01,356 --> 00:23:03,621
We're grieving
right alongside you.

Consider us your home

375
00:23:08,389 --> 00:23:12,822
Our second message
in this difficult hour,
376
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:17,821
the same one that Peter, John, and
James spoke on that one dark night
377
00:23:17,823 --> 00:23:21,656
when all their hopes died
on that bloodstained cross.

I'm sorry.
388
00:24:00,421 --> 00:24:03,885
- I never know what to say at these things.
- No, it's okay.
389
00:24:03,887 --> 00:24:08,886
I'll come by, and we can discuss the details,
construction plans, repairs, all that.
390
00:24:08,888 --> 00:24:13,351
Yeah.
Well... when you're ready.
391
00:24:13,353 --> 00:24:16,885
Okay? Don't rush.
Just come on by my office.
392
00:24:16,887 --> 00:24:18,485
- Thanks, Tom.
- Yeah. Hang in there.
393
00:24:18,487 --> 00:24:20,221
- Appreciate it.
- Yeah.
394
00:24:25,487 --> 00:24:28,052
Jude spoke of you
all the time.
395
00:24:28,054 --> 00:24:30,652
His American brother.
396
00:24:30,654 --> 00:24:33,754
I thank God he wasn't alone
in his last moments.
397
00:24:35,352 --> 00:24:38,353
- I'm sorry.
- This is not your fault.
398
00:24:39,619 --> 00:24:44,653
God, he uses all things
for his good.
399
00:24:45,753 --> 00:24:47,619
You know this.
400
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:51,219
[speaking Swahili]
401
00:24:56,653 --> 00:24:58,884
What does...?
402
00:24:58,886 --> 00:25:01,517
I think that's what
Jude said to me.
403
00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:04,518
Last thing he said to me.
What does that mean?
404
00:25:05,752 --> 00:25:08,416
It's hard
to translate.
405
00:25:08,418 --> 00:25:12,017
In English,
it means, basically,
406
00:25:12,019 --> 00:25:15,950
"Always God is good,
407
00:25:15,952 --> 00:25:19,351
and God is good always."
408

409

[sobbing continues]
410
00:26:04,884 --> 00:26:06,481
Hey.
411
00:26:06,483 --> 00:26:08,616
Dave, what are you
doing here?
412
00:26:10,617 --> 00:26:12,347
Well, it's Saturday,
isn't it?
413
00:26:12,349 --> 00:26:14,381
I mean, people
still need to eat.
414
00:26:14,383 --> 00:26:16,382
Sorry, it's a little bit
light this week,
415
00:26:16,384 --> 00:26:19,048
but, uh, well, everything in
the pantry was ruined, so...
416
00:26:19,050 --> 00:26:21,015
I know. I heard.
I'm so sorry.
417
00:26:21,017 --> 00:26:24,616
And Jude.
Ah, I can't believe it.
418
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:28,748
Thanks.
I'll be okay.
419
00:26:28,750 --> 00:26:31,683
You hungry? How about I
feed you for a change?
420
00:26:32,783 --> 00:26:35,616
Thanks,
but, uh, rain check?
421
00:26:36,882 --> 00:26:39,349
Okay. You know
where to find me.
422
00:26:50,282 --> 00:26:52,014
[knocking]
423
00:26:52,016 --> 00:26:54,947
- Hey.
- Dave.
424
00:26:54,949 --> 00:26:57,880
Thanks for coming in.
425
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:00,013
Let's go get
a cup of coffee.
426
00:27:00,015 --> 00:27:01,879
Sure.
427
00:27:01,881 --> 00:27:05,047
Tom, this is insane.
428
00:27:05,049 --> 00:27:09,379
You're gonna use this as an opportunity
to advance some political agenda?
429
00:27:09,381 --> 00:27:11,013
It's not about that.
430
00:27:11,015 --> 00:27:14,612
You don't just knock a church down
because of a little controversy.
431
00:27:14,614 --> 00:27:16,612
Look, the insurance
will cover the damage.
432
00:27:16,614 --> 00:27:18,646
It won't cost
the university anything.
433
00:27:18,648 --> 00:27:22,345
It's not about the money either.
It's really not.
434
00:27:22,347 --> 00:27:25,812
This makes no sense.
We were attacked.
435
00:27:25,814 --> 00:27:27,879
I know.
436
00:27:27,881 --> 00:27:32,478
But, Dave, we're worried about the
school, the welfare of the students.
437
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,548
There are a lot
of factors here.
438
00:27:36,047 --> 00:27:37,878
Look, I know you're upset.
439
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,745
You have every right to be.
I don't like this either.
440
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,246
I hope you get that.
441
00:27:46,346 --> 00:27:48,346
It's all in there.
442
00:27:54,513 --> 00:27:56,613
This was my father's church.
443
00:27:58,879 --> 00:28:01,411
I was baptized there.
444
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:03,045
I spent
my whole life there.
445
00:28:03,047 --> 00:28:04,878
I know.
446
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,377
It's my home, Tom.
447
00:28:06,379 --> 00:28:09,345
It's everything I have.
448
00:28:10,046 --> 00:28:12,044
And it's not for sale.
449
00:28:12,046 --> 00:28:14,777
I don't think
you're hearing me, Dave.
450
00:28:14,779 --> 00:28:16,746
The board has decided.
451
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:20,479
It's a done deal.
452
00:28:22,612 --> 00:28:24,245
I'm sorry.
453
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:28,543
This is absurd. They can just
take the church from us?
454
00:28:28,545 --> 00:28:30,342
- I mean, don't we own this land?
- Yes.
455
00:28:30,344 --> 00:28:32,644
- So, how is this legal?
- Eminent domain.
456
00:28:32,646 --> 00:28:35,477
I studied property law
a bit in grad school.
457
00:28:35,479 --> 00:28:37,943
As I understand it, the state
gave all public universities
458
00:28:37,945 --> 00:28:40,609
complete autonomy
over eminent domain.
459
00:28:40,611 --> 00:28:42,876
Which means Hadleigh can
legally force us to sell.
460
00:28:42,878 --> 00:28:44,476
Where are we
supposed to go?
461
00:28:44,478 --> 00:28:47,810
With what they're offering, how can we
build anything anyway? Can we go to court?
462
00:28:47,812 --> 00:28:49,876
- [woman] Another lawsuit? Really?
- [siren wailing, faint]
463
00:28:49,878 --> 00:28:53,275
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
we've burned through any legal reserves.
464
00:28:53,277 --> 00:28:54,910
No land within 30 miles
of here.
465
00:28:54,912 --> 00:28:56,643
We're out of money,
plain and simple.
466
00:28:56,645 --> 00:28:59,777
- None that we can afford.
- I don't see that we have an option here.
467
00:29:05,012 --> 00:29:07,477
You gonna be okay?
468
00:29:11,545 --> 00:29:16,608
All these years,
this church has been here.
469
00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:19,343
When I think about the work
that God has done...
470
00:29:20,876 --> 00:29:22,776
and the lives
that he's changed...
471
00:29:24,510 --> 00:29:27,210
Now it's just
a crime scene.
472
00:29:32,010 --> 00:29:34,608
[sighs]
473
00:29:34,610 --> 00:29:36,676
You know, Keaton stopped by
the other day.
474
00:29:37,876 --> 00:29:39,543
Remember her?
475
00:29:40,643 --> 00:29:43,274
First time I've seen her
in five months.
476
00:29:43,276 --> 00:29:45,674
She's lost.
477
00:29:45,676 --> 00:29:48,673
She needs someone to walk with
her right where she's at.
478
00:29:48,675 --> 00:29:51,473
There are hundreds more
like her, here.
479
00:29:51,475 --> 00:29:52,808
I know, Josh.
I got it, but...
480
00:29:52,810 --> 00:29:55,874
This is why I took on Professor
Radisson, why I left law school...
481
00:29:55,876 --> 00:29:57,740
for this ministry.
482
00:29:57,742 --> 00:30:02,473
Because what we do and how we
do it, it's important, Dave.
483
00:30:02,475 --> 00:30:04,941
Josh, we have no money,
no lawyers.
484
00:30:04,943 --> 00:30:06,874
If I could do something,
I would.
485
00:30:06,876 --> 00:30:09,740
It's just...
It's not that easy.
486
00:30:09,742 --> 00:30:11,341
No, it's not easy.
487
00:30:12,942 --> 00:30:14,542
But it's simple.
488
00:30:17,341 --> 00:30:20,039
Look, I, uh...
[chuckles]
489
00:30:20,041 --> 00:30:22,608
I hate to quote scripture
to a pastor, but, um...
490
00:30:24,341 --> 00:30:25,474
you remember
Luke 12:48?
491
00:30:28,641 --> 00:30:31,340
Seems like you're the one much
is being asked of this time.
492
00:30:34,475 --> 00:30:36,641
If you decide you want
to fight this...
493
00:30:38,741 --> 00:30:41,340
pretty sure God'll
handle the details.
494
00:30:42,607 --> 00:30:44,641
And I'll be right here
beside you.
495
00:31:01,007 --> 00:31:02,640

[phone ringing]
498
00:31:43,372 --> 00:31:46,804
You got an apartment?
Okay, Apartment "E"?
499
00:31:46,806 --> 00:31:48,870
Thank you.
500
00:31:48,872 --> 00:31:51,870
- [man] Okay, don't you worry about it.
- [woman] Thank you, Pearce.
501
00:31:51,872 --> 00:31:53,470
I swear Mike's
a good kid.
502
00:31:53,472 --> 00:31:55,603
He's just really struggling
right now, with his friends.
503
00:31:55,605 --> 00:31:57,605
- He's just caught up...
- What are you doing here?
504
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:01,604
[horn honks]
505
00:32:04,872 --> 00:32:07,536
Dad's church.
506
00:32:07,538 --> 00:32:10,003
You'd hardly
even recognize it.
507
00:32:10,005 --> 00:32:14,469
Hey, look, this is a property law case.
It's not really my thing.
508
00:32:14,471 --> 00:32:16,636
Pearce, you're
a social justice attorney.
509
00:32:16,638 --> 00:32:20,337
They're forcing us out because we're a
church. This is exactly your thing.
510
00:32:22,337 --> 00:32:24,036
Let me get this straight.
511
00:32:24,038 --> 00:32:26,869
You drive all the way up here.
You don't even call.
512
00:32:26,871 --> 00:32:28,736
Were you afraid I'd say no?
513
00:32:28,738 --> 00:32:30,868
I didn't know what you'd
say, to be honest.
514
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:33,268
Look,
I have a little money.
515
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:35,802
I don't want your money.
516
00:32:35,804 --> 00:32:37,301
This is a legit offer.
517
00:32:37,303 --> 00:32:41,468
Thing goes to trial, jury will probably
give you half that amount, less even.
518
00:32:41,470 --> 00:32:45,203
Money aside, these things
always get messy.
519
00:32:46,636 --> 00:32:50,002
God called me to fight,
and I'm gonna fight.
520
00:32:50,004 --> 00:32:52,737
Ah. God calls you,
you call me.
521
00:32:55,403 --> 00:32:57,334
- Did you see that?
- Right in third position.
522
00:32:57,336 --> 00:32:58,901
Uh-huh. [laughs] Third position?
523
00:32:58,903 --> 00:33:00,901
Mm-hmm.
524
00:33:00,903 --> 00:33:02,636
Adam, what's up, baby?
Where you been?
525
00:33:06,335 --> 00:33:08,335
Can I talk to you?
526
00:33:18,636 --> 00:33:21,335
[sighs, sobs]
527
00:33:23,735 --> 00:33:25,468
What do I do?
528
00:33:27,501 --> 00:33:29,866
What do I do?
529
00:33:29,868 --> 00:33:32,334
I don't know what to do.
530
00:33:40,868 --> 00:33:44,466
I appreciate you coming down. I know
you're busy. It's a lot to ask.
531
00:33:44,468 --> 00:33:45,767
Sure.
532
00:33:53,001 --> 00:33:55,535
Wow. Look at this place.
It got smaller.
533
00:33:59,534 --> 00:34:01,865
What'd you do
to the tree?
534
00:34:01,867 --> 00:34:04,600
Huh?
What's wrong with it?
535
00:34:06,001 --> 00:34:08,233
For one thing,
it's dead.
536
00:34:10,634 --> 00:34:13,665
I figured you could take
your old room.
537
00:34:13,667 --> 00:34:16,734
It's kind of a guest room
and some storage, but...
538
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,898
Wow.
539
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,731
Got the old man's chair.
540
00:34:23,733 --> 00:34:25,599
Allowed to sit in it now?
541
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:29,734
[sighs]
542
00:34:35,933 --> 00:34:38,264
Sorry to hear
about your friend.
543
00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:40,666
Yeah. Thanks.
544
00:34:41,666 --> 00:34:43,732
But I'm okay.
545
00:34:45,332 --> 00:34:47,998
You know, that's... what
you said at Mom's funeral.
546
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,731
"I'm okay."
547
00:34:49,733 --> 00:34:53,731
Somebody burns your church
down, kills your friend,
548
00:34:53,733 --> 00:34:54,997
but you're okay.
549
00:34:54,999 --> 00:34:56,897
What do you want me
to say, Pearce?
550
00:34:56,899 --> 00:34:59,329
Yes, I'm having
a hard time.
551
00:34:59,331 --> 00:35:01,198
Just doing my best
to get through.
552
00:35:02,365 --> 00:35:03,630
You want something
to drink?
553
00:35:03,632 --> 00:35:06,532
- You got booze?
- No.
554
00:35:15,465 --> 00:35:17,896
Did you buy three boxes
of these for me?
555
00:35:17,898 --> 00:35:20,729
Of course.
I knew you'd come.
556
00:35:20,731 --> 00:35:23,762
Unfortunately, I don't
really eat Zingers anymore.
557
00:35:23,764 --> 00:35:26,495
What do you mean you don't eat Zingers?
You love those things.
558
00:35:26,497 --> 00:35:28,862
- What happened?
- Triple bypass.
559
00:35:28,864 --> 00:35:30,896
Heart surgery?
560
00:35:30,898 --> 00:35:33,595
- You had heart surgery?
- Six years ago.
561
00:35:33,597 --> 00:35:35,327
I had no idea.
562
00:35:35,329 --> 00:35:37,196
Why would you?
563
00:35:38,731 --> 00:35:42,595
Well, we're all caught up.
And I'm gonna hit the hay.
564
00:35:42,597 --> 00:35:44,330
Night.
565
00:35:45,463 --> 00:35:46,730
Night.
566
00:35:51,597 --> 00:35:54,329
[flames crackling]
567
00:35:59,863 --> 00:36:05,327
Eminent domain precedent cases having to do
with churches specifically would be best.
568
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:07,494
I'll be back
as soon as I can.
569
00:36:07,496 --> 00:36:09,728
Well, just take the meeting
without me, Todd.
570
00:36:09,730 --> 00:36:14,494
No, I realize that, but it's a family
thing. What do you want me to say?
571
00:36:14,496 --> 00:36:18,461
Just make sure everything has the same zip.
Okay? Okay, thanks.
572
00:36:18,463 --> 00:36:21,660
- Make yourself at home.
- You doing all right?
573
00:36:21,662 --> 00:36:24,627
I'll tell you what. You stop asking
me, and I'll stop saying I'm okay.
574
00:36:24,629 --> 00:36:26,595
Fair enough.
575
00:36:27,862 --> 00:36:29,727
Ready to get to it?
576
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:32,326
I've been getting to it
since 5:00 a.m.
577
00:36:32,328 --> 00:36:36,493
Okay? I'm starving. There's nothing
in that fridge but moldy casseroles.
578
00:36:36,495 --> 00:36:38,493
- Is Doe's still open?
- I guess.
579
00:36:38,495 --> 00:36:41,195
Well, let's go.
Don't eat that!
580
00:36:43,861 --> 00:36:45,860
The government
takes private property.
581
00:36:45,862 --> 00:36:47,592
They do it all the time.
End of story.
582
00:36:47,594 --> 00:36:50,459
How do you think highways and
railroads get built, man?
583
00:36:50,461 --> 00:36:54,859
But this isn't about a railroad. They said they
need the land to build a new student union.
584
00:36:54,861 --> 00:36:57,993
- I hardly think that qualifies.
- We'll see. It might.
585
00:36:57,995 --> 00:36:59,559
You're not hearing me.
586
00:36:59,561 --> 00:37:03,993
They just want the church gone because
they think it's bad PR for the university.
587
00:37:03,995 --> 00:37:05,725
- Yeah, they're probably right.
- Pearce.
588
00:37:05,727 --> 00:37:09,726
Hey, listen, man.
I said this ain't my thing.
589
00:37:09,728 --> 00:37:12,926
All right? Now you want to tell me
how to fight an eminent domain case?
590
00:37:12,928 --> 00:37:15,461
Why don't I just go home?
You can do it.
591
00:37:18,727 --> 00:37:21,460
[woman chattering, laughing]
592
00:37:27,927 --> 00:37:30,193
This is eerie.
593
00:37:33,325 --> 00:37:34,925
Let's go check it out.
594
00:37:34,927 --> 00:37:37,493
We can't.
It's all locked up.
595
00:37:58,993 --> 00:38:02,759
Last time I was in this building,
Dad was standing right there.
596
00:38:23,525 --> 00:38:24,491
Hey.
597
00:38:26,591 --> 00:38:28,923
[Dave] You got in so
much trouble for that.
598
00:38:28,925 --> 00:38:30,856
[laughing]
599
00:38:30,858 --> 00:38:32,758
So stupid.
[chuckles]
600
00:38:36,658 --> 00:38:39,456
I'm gonna write a letter
to the board of trustees
601
00:38:39,458 --> 00:38:41,855
and introduce myself
as your legal counsel.
602
00:38:41,857 --> 00:38:44,757
I'll politely let them know we
won't be entertaining any more...
603
00:38:45,892 --> 00:38:48,725
backroom offers
between old friends.
604
00:38:52,724 --> 00:38:54,323
Thank you.
605
00:38:55,590 --> 00:38:57,624
One step at a time,
little brother.
606
00:39:00,624 --> 00:39:03,355
His brother is a lawyer?
Are you kidding me?
607
00:39:03,357 --> 00:39:06,587
Of course he's gonna fight back.
What'd you expect?
608
00:39:06,589 --> 00:39:09,855
At least we can offer him
a better settlement.
609
00:39:09,857 --> 00:39:11,454
Something more fair.
610
00:39:11,456 --> 00:39:13,254
And where do we take
that money from?
611
00:39:13,256 --> 00:39:16,587
To pay any more than legally required
is a disservice to the school,
612
00:39:16,589 --> 00:39:18,723
not to mention,
it's unethical.
613
00:39:20,723 --> 00:39:23,988
Be careful not to let your friendship
with Reverend Dave cloud your judgment.
614
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:26,854
- [sighs]
- Look, I'm on your side.
615
00:39:26,856 --> 00:39:30,387
My advice is take care
of this now,
616
00:39:30,389 --> 00:39:32,723
or the person
who replaces you will.
617
00:39:36,989 --> 00:39:40,320
[man] It's important to remember, in
the midst of all this controversy,
618
00:39:40,322 --> 00:39:44,319
that friends and family are now
grieving the death of this innocent man
619
00:39:44,321 --> 00:39:47,586
killed in this tragic
and senseless way.
620
00:39:47,588 --> 00:39:50,486
I can't even imagine the heartbreak
for his parents, having to...
621
00:39:50,488 --> 00:39:51,755
[stops]
622
00:40:06,022 --> 00:40:08,585
Maybe you just need to
stop thinking about it.
623
00:40:08,587 --> 00:40:10,187
I can't.
624
00:40:11,454 --> 00:40:12,722
How can I?
625
00:40:14,354 --> 00:40:16,587
Everybody thinks...
626
00:40:17,854 --> 00:40:21,354
that he was... murdered.
627
00:40:22,988 --> 00:40:26,718
His-His friends,
his parents.
628
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:30,719
They deserve to know the truth...
that it was an accident.
629
00:40:30,721 --> 00:40:33,585
Maybe it'll help them.
630
00:40:33,587 --> 00:40:36,452
Maybe that'll give them
some sort of closure.
631
00:40:36,454 --> 00:40:39,187
Okay, so say you confess.
632
00:40:40,887 --> 00:40:44,718
Maybe they'll go easy on you, but...
maybe they won't.
633
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,620
Okay, and then what?
634
00:40:48,653 --> 00:40:50,319
I don't know.
635
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:00,186
Do you really believe...
that there's a God?
636
00:41:06,652 --> 00:41:09,218
I don't know. I guess.
637
00:41:12,786 --> 00:41:15,453
If he does exist...
638
00:41:17,986 --> 00:41:20,452
do you think that he
would forgive me?
639
00:41:24,019 --> 00:41:25,652
Of course.
640
00:41:29,584 --> 00:41:31,317
[sniffles]
641
00:41:33,786 --> 00:41:35,452
[sobs]
642
00:41:47,351 --> 00:41:50,716
Hey, Pearce. I'm headed to church.
You want to join?
643
00:41:50,718 --> 00:41:52,518
Not one bit.
644
00:41:56,351 --> 00:41:57,883
Look what I found.
645
00:41:57,885 --> 00:41:59,518
What?
646
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:01,982
Check it out.
647
00:42:01,984 --> 00:42:03,615
My gosh.
648
00:42:03,617 --> 00:42:05,983
Wait, wait, wait. I want
to show you something.
649
00:42:05,985 --> 00:42:07,617
Man.
650
00:42:16,717 --> 00:42:19,581
Stretchy!
651
00:42:19,583 --> 00:42:21,981
Wow.
652
00:42:21,983 --> 00:42:25,248
I thought most of this stuff
would've ended up in a landfill.
653
00:42:25,250 --> 00:42:27,316
- No.
- Hey.
654
00:42:28,516 --> 00:42:31,247
Pearce, Aunt Celia
painted that.
655
00:42:31,249 --> 00:42:33,380
Who cares? It's ugly.
656
00:42:33,382 --> 00:42:35,581
- Bet you can't hit the frog.
- Grow up.
657
00:42:35,583 --> 00:42:37,182
Ten bucks.
658
00:42:37,849 --> 00:42:39,482
Give it to me.
659
00:42:44,482 --> 00:42:45,749
Told you.
660
00:42:49,716 --> 00:42:53,314
Wow. Mandy Stebbins.
661
00:42:54,314 --> 00:42:55,847
Whatever happened to her?
662
00:42:55,849 --> 00:42:57,980
I don't know. If she's not
on Facebook, I have no idea.
663
00:42:57,982 --> 00:42:59,980
[whistles] Hey.
664
00:42:59,982 --> 00:43:02,579
[thuds]
665
00:43:02,581 --> 00:43:04,448
Confirmation.
666
00:43:06,615 --> 00:43:08,346
You still pray for me?
667
00:43:08,348 --> 00:43:09,980
Pearce, can we not?
668
00:43:09,982 --> 00:43:13,013
Why? I'm just curious.
669
00:43:13,015 --> 00:43:15,479
Yeah. Sometimes.
670
00:43:15,481 --> 00:43:18,013
I knew it.
What do you pray for?
671
00:43:18,015 --> 00:43:20,579
I'll come back around?
I'll find peace? What?
672
00:43:20,581 --> 00:43:22,980
- Is this fun for you?
- I'm just making conversation.
673
00:43:22,982 --> 00:43:25,745
Yeah, well, maybe I'll pray that
you make better conversation.
674
00:43:25,747 --> 00:43:29,181
- [phone buzzing]
- Josh?
675
00:43:29,782 --> 00:43:32,180
What? Right now?
676
00:43:34,715 --> 00:43:37,645
[Pearce] Hey, I'm gonna need the
name of a circuit judge down here.
677
00:43:37,647 --> 00:43:39,845
Yes. Now. Today.
678
00:43:39,847 --> 00:43:41,478
- Okay, let me know.
- Dave!
679
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,845
Yeah. What... What's going on?
They won't stop.
680
00:43:43,847 --> 00:43:48,311
Excuse me. Excuse me. Hey. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop! Stop!
681
00:43:48,313 --> 00:43:50,477
I need you on the other
side of the tape, sir.
682
00:43:50,479 --> 00:43:53,445
- I'm the pastor of this church.
- Well, that may be, but it's not safe.
683
00:43:53,447 --> 00:43:55,512
- It's okay. I'm his attorney.
- Congratulations.
684
00:43:55,514 --> 00:43:58,778
And I'm a Mets fan. Now, move
back, or I call the cops.
685
00:43:58,780 --> 00:44:02,311
- I already called 'em.
- Hey, buddy, I have a demo permit.
686
00:44:02,313 --> 00:44:04,711
- You got a permit to wreck a church on a Sunday? Really?
- Yeah, what can I say?
687
00:44:04,713 --> 00:44:06,444
Signed by the president
of the university.
688
00:44:06,446 --> 00:44:09,444
Thomas Ellsworth.
Unbelievable.
689
00:44:09,446 --> 00:44:13,011
- Just trying to do my job here.
- And I'm trying to do mine. Give me your keys.
690
00:44:13,013 --> 00:44:14,711
You touch this church
before I get back,
691
00:44:14,713 --> 00:44:16,744
I'll have you arrested for
destruction of property, okay?
692
00:44:16,746 --> 00:44:19,577
- You stay put.
- Yeah, what do you want me to do?
693
00:44:19,579 --> 00:44:21,513
I don't know. Stall.
694
00:44:23,246 --> 00:44:25,645
- You have a Bible?
- Yeah.
695
00:44:27,746 --> 00:44:30,713
Yeah, yeah, Gloria Pascual.
I know. I'm already on my way.
696
00:44:32,345 --> 00:44:34,843
What? Are you kidding me?
697
00:44:34,845 --> 00:44:36,513
Ah.
698
00:44:37,712 --> 00:44:40,010
Of course she is.
It's Sunday. Where is she?
699
00:44:40,012 --> 00:44:43,343
Yeah, yeah, I know it.
I know the place.
700
00:44:43,345 --> 00:44:46,709
[Dave] Hey, everyone.
We're gonna hold service.
701
00:44:46,711 --> 00:44:48,309
Right now.
702
00:44:48,311 --> 00:44:50,977
Come on in, guys.
Come on. Come on over here.
703
00:44:50,979 --> 00:44:53,578
- Can I have that Bible?
- Yeah.
704
00:44:55,345 --> 00:45:00,575
So the, uh... the Bible
is the word of God.
705
00:45:00,577 --> 00:45:03,609
But how often do we really
take time to read it?
706
00:45:03,611 --> 00:45:05,477
Let's start at the top,
shall we?
707
00:45:06,444 --> 00:45:07,976
- "In the beginning..."
- Man.
708
00:45:07,978 --> 00:45:10,308
[Pearce]
They haven't even filed yet.
709
00:45:10,310 --> 00:45:12,442
No appraisals,
no escrow deposits.
710
00:45:12,444 --> 00:45:15,577
It's an old-fashioned
end-around. Hold on.
711
00:45:18,577 --> 00:45:21,308
You still there? You still
gotta send me the injunction.
712
00:45:21,310 --> 00:45:24,708
Yeah, pdf's fine.
Okay, hurry up.
713
00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:28,009
Hey, hey, hey! I don't even
know what she looks like.
714
00:45:28,011 --> 00:45:30,575
The judge. Who do you
think I'm talking about?
715
00:45:30,577 --> 00:45:32,441
Yeah, send me a pic.
716
00:45:32,443 --> 00:45:36,176
- [organ playing hymn]
- [choir singing, faint]
717
00:45:58,376 --> 00:46:01,573
"The serpent was more crafty
than any other wild animals
718
00:46:01,575 --> 00:46:03,340
the Lord God had made.
719
00:46:03,342 --> 00:46:04,975
And he said to the woman,
720
00:46:04,977 --> 00:46:08,306
'Did God really say you must not
eat from the tree in any garden?'"
721
00:46:08,308 --> 00:46:12,175
[siren wailing, whooping]
722
00:46:17,976 --> 00:46:20,473
Your Honor,
I am so sorry,
723
00:46:20,475 --> 00:46:23,739
but I'm an attorney, and it's
important that I speak with you.
724
00:46:23,741 --> 00:46:26,572
I'm in the middle
of Mass.
725
00:46:26,574 --> 00:46:30,774
I'm aware. It's very timely.
It involves a church.
726
00:46:30,776 --> 00:46:34,573
And we want to take you live
to the scene right now,
727
00:46:34,575 --> 00:46:36,472
show you what is
developing as we speak.
728
00:46:36,474 --> 00:46:38,305
You are looking here
at Saint James Church.
729
00:46:38,307 --> 00:46:40,706
This is on the campus
of Hadleigh University now.
730
00:46:40,708 --> 00:46:43,706
Local pastor, David Hill,
is basically staging
731
00:46:43,708 --> 00:46:48,773
his very own version of what can only be
described here as a Senate filibuster.
732
00:46:48,775 --> 00:46:51,839
His last-ditch effort to delay
the demolition of his church.
733
00:46:51,841 --> 00:46:56,372
As you can see here, he's literally
reading the Bible cover to cover
734
00:46:56,374 --> 00:46:58,905
while the growing crowds
watch and wait.
735
00:46:58,907 --> 00:47:00,872
Yeah, that's him.
736
00:47:00,874 --> 00:47:03,738
Your little stunt's gonna cost you
and the pastor a night in jail.
737
00:47:03,740 --> 00:47:04,906
Well, I don't think so.
738
00:47:04,908 --> 00:47:08,872
I have a signed injunction from
Judge Pascual that says...
739
00:47:08,874 --> 00:47:12,573
Well, you can read it yourself.
"Cease and desist."
740
00:47:15,774 --> 00:47:17,971
Good? Thank you.
741
00:47:17,973 --> 00:47:20,704
[whistles] Let's go!
742
00:47:20,706 --> 00:47:23,639
[applauding, cheering]
743
00:47:25,706 --> 00:47:28,437
All right, guys, we're done.
Time to leave. Let's go.
744
00:47:28,439 --> 00:47:31,837
- What happened?
- I just bought us three weeks.
745
00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:33,571
Thank you.
746
00:47:33,573 --> 00:47:36,370
So, maybe the university's board
of trustees does have the right
747
00:47:36,372 --> 00:47:38,004
to expropriate
the church property.
748
00:47:38,006 --> 00:47:40,303
But even if it's legal,
is it moral?
749
00:47:40,305 --> 00:47:41,737
Just take a look
at their dilemma here.
750
00:47:41,739 --> 00:47:43,836
This is no longer
a Christian school.
751
00:47:43,838 --> 00:47:46,504
The church really should have
moved off campus 50 years ago
752
00:47:46,506 --> 00:47:48,436
when the state
bought the university.
753
00:47:48,438 --> 00:47:51,236
Instead, funding
is given disproportionately
754
00:47:51,238 --> 00:47:53,302
to one religious organization
755
00:47:53,304 --> 00:47:54,771
while other ones
are being denied.
756
00:47:54,773 --> 00:47:58,569
So you add that to all of this
controversy and now violence.
757
00:47:58,571 --> 00:48:02,870
You tell me, how can they justify
keeping the church on campus?
758
00:48:02,872 --> 00:48:05,703
Thomas Ellsworth is making
the right choice here.
759
00:48:05,705 --> 00:48:08,571
It's not the easy one,
but it is the right choice.
760
00:48:09,705 --> 00:48:11,736
I think their intentions
are pretty clear.
761
00:48:11,738 --> 00:48:13,569
Enough with writing letters.
Let's call 'em out.
762
00:48:13,571 --> 00:48:15,636
Call 'em out
on what, stupidity?
763
00:48:15,638 --> 00:48:18,703
Why are you so reluctant to
accept what's really going on?
764
00:48:18,705 --> 00:48:21,869
Unbelievable. You guys love to
play the victim card, don't you?
765
00:48:21,871 --> 00:48:23,302
- "You guys."
- Look, forget it.
766
00:48:23,304 --> 00:48:25,836
I'm not engaging in a
false narrative with you.
767
00:48:25,838 --> 00:48:28,903
I'm just... I'm not. It undermines
true religious liberty.
768
00:48:28,905 --> 00:48:32,569
You're talking to a guy who went to jail,
who's now having his church stolen.
769
00:48:32,571 --> 00:48:35,702
- How is that false narrative?
- Because it's never that simple.
770
00:48:35,704 --> 00:48:38,835
The Christian church has a long
history of persecuting people,
771
00:48:38,837 --> 00:48:42,834
and then those people push back,
and you guys want to cry victim.
772
00:48:42,836 --> 00:48:46,835
And for every example of someone who's
misrepresented Jesus for some twisted reason,
773
00:48:46,837 --> 00:48:49,567
there are a hundred others
who have done good in his name.
774
00:48:49,569 --> 00:48:53,435
We can debate history all you
want, but I'm talking about now,
775
00:48:53,437 --> 00:48:55,368
about getting my church back.
776
00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:58,601
- Can you just help me do that?
- I'm right here, aren't I?
777
00:48:58,603 --> 00:49:01,567
Just don't drag me
into your personal crusade.
778
00:49:01,569 --> 00:49:03,436
[groans]
779
00:49:04,369 --> 00:49:06,503
- Where you going?
- I'm going to bed.
780
00:49:10,970 --> 00:49:12,968
Thank you, Pastor.
I agree.
781
00:49:12,970 --> 00:49:15,967
- Appreciate it. Thank you.
- [hammering]
782
00:49:15,969 --> 00:49:17,436
Okay.
783
00:49:22,435 --> 00:49:24,333
Pastor Dave.
784
00:49:24,335 --> 00:49:26,700
Keaton, how are you?
785
00:49:26,702 --> 00:49:29,566
I'm okay. So, how's stuff
going with the church?
786
00:49:29,568 --> 00:49:31,833
Have they found
the person who did it?
787
00:49:31,835 --> 00:49:34,433
Not yet. They're still
investigating.
788
00:49:34,435 --> 00:49:37,299
I just figured, like,
fingerprints or whatever.
789
00:49:37,301 --> 00:49:39,733
Ah, it's not quite
like the movies.
790
00:49:39,735 --> 00:49:43,299
It takes time, but I'm sure
they'll catch 'em.
791
00:49:43,301 --> 00:49:46,299
What's gonna happen
when they find 'em?
792
00:49:46,301 --> 00:49:50,501
Put 'em away, I hope,
for a long time.
793
00:49:53,468 --> 00:49:57,699
The order's good for three weeks.
Can't be much longer than that.
794
00:49:57,701 --> 00:50:01,465
Hey, what do you want me to say?
He's my brother.
795
00:50:01,467 --> 00:50:05,899
Do me a favor. Send me some
briefs for Kelo vs. New London.
796
00:50:05,901 --> 00:50:09,766
And what else?
Faith Temple vs. Brighton.
797
00:50:09,768 --> 00:50:11,167
Okay, thanks.
798
00:50:34,633 --> 00:50:37,865
Really, take it with you.
It's getting cold out there.
799
00:50:37,867 --> 00:50:39,600
[woman] All right, bye.
800
00:50:40,832 --> 00:50:42,431
[woman] Smells good.
801
00:50:42,433 --> 00:50:44,565
Coming to collect
on that rain check.
802
00:50:46,867 --> 00:50:49,296
You guys close
growing up?
803
00:50:49,298 --> 00:50:52,598
Yeah. That's why
it was so hard.
804
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,296
Pearce was my hero.
805
00:50:54,298 --> 00:50:57,331
I mean, he had
this strong faith.
806
00:50:57,333 --> 00:50:59,330
But he was so cool
about it.
807
00:50:59,332 --> 00:51:01,830
He made Christianity cool.
808
00:51:01,832 --> 00:51:03,697
Yeah, I know the type.
809
00:51:03,699 --> 00:51:06,430
Went off to law school
when I started college.
810
00:51:06,432 --> 00:51:09,697
- And then something happened. I don't know. He changed.
- [acoustic guitar strumming]
811
00:51:09,699 --> 00:51:11,230
How?
812
00:51:11,232 --> 00:51:13,563
Uh, I don't know.
813
00:51:13,565 --> 00:51:16,296
I guess he was struggling
in his faith.
814
00:51:16,298 --> 00:51:18,696
But it was more
than just confusion.
815
00:51:18,698 --> 00:51:20,963
It was darker than that.
816
00:51:20,965 --> 00:51:25,297
I always hoped that he'd come
around before our parents died.
817
00:51:26,832 --> 00:51:29,362
It was hard on them.
818
00:51:29,364 --> 00:51:31,729
It felt like
they lost their son.
819
00:51:31,731 --> 00:51:34,596
And you lost your hero.
820
00:51:34,598 --> 00:51:36,963
Yeah. I guess I did.
821
00:51:36,965 --> 00:51:39,431
[hammering]
822
00:51:41,431 --> 00:51:44,362
[Meg]
That's amazing, isn't it?
823
00:51:44,364 --> 00:51:46,296
That he can
look at that...
824
00:51:48,563 --> 00:51:50,430
and see that.
825
00:51:55,563 --> 00:51:57,163
You okay?
826
00:51:59,296 --> 00:52:01,163
I feel a little bit
like I'm drifting.
827
00:52:03,430 --> 00:52:07,562
Keep trying to tell myself all the things
that I would tell others who are struggling.
828
00:52:08,697 --> 00:52:10,295
It's not helping.
829
00:52:11,229 --> 00:52:13,994
Think I might
be bad at my job.
830
00:52:13,996 --> 00:52:15,695
I doubt that.
831
00:52:15,697 --> 00:52:18,696
I just want to get back
to the way things were.
832
00:52:19,996 --> 00:52:21,596
How far back is that?
833
00:52:22,997 --> 00:52:26,427
I mean, going back
doesn't really work.
834
00:52:26,429 --> 00:52:28,227
And believe me,
I've tried.
835
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:30,293
I've gone back
to school,
836
00:52:30,295 --> 00:52:34,560
gone back home,
back to brunette.
837
00:52:34,562 --> 00:52:38,562
But I've never been able to go
back to the way things were.
838
00:52:39,596 --> 00:52:42,360
I hope you're wrong.
839
00:52:42,362 --> 00:52:45,728
'Cause if I can't go back,
I don't know where to go.
840
00:52:46,561 --> 00:52:48,294
[hammering]
841
00:52:50,828 --> 00:52:52,695
[bell tolls]
842
00:52:55,895 --> 00:52:57,359
Are you doing okay?
843
00:52:57,361 --> 00:52:58,960
I told you
to stop asking me that.
844
00:52:58,962 --> 00:53:00,726
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
845
00:53:00,728 --> 00:53:02,693
[Barbara] So, how much?
846
00:53:02,695 --> 00:53:04,692
[Pearce] How much what?
847
00:53:04,694 --> 00:53:08,558
We made you an offer. You're
here to counter, so counter.
848
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,960
Oh, believe me,
I wish I could.
849
00:53:10,962 --> 00:53:12,826
Unfortunately,
despite my counsel,
850
00:53:12,828 --> 00:53:15,493
my client is not
interested in money.
851
00:53:15,495 --> 00:53:17,959
- So, what is your client interested in?
- I want my church back.
852
00:53:17,961 --> 00:53:19,825
Dave, be reasonable.
853
00:53:19,827 --> 00:53:21,425
Reason went out
the window, Tom,
854
00:53:21,427 --> 00:53:23,425
when you brought a demolition
crew to my front door.
855
00:53:23,427 --> 00:53:26,692
[woman] Look, a college campus is
about education, not religion.
856
00:53:26,694 --> 00:53:29,557
We've got limited space. We need
to maximize it for every student.
857
00:53:29,559 --> 00:53:31,558
None of that gives you the
right to tear my church down.
858
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,324
- Well, actually it does.
- Dana, stop.
859
00:53:34,326 --> 00:53:38,725
We're wasting our time here. We both know
that this meeting was simply a courtesy.
860
00:53:38,727 --> 00:53:42,491
And, Barbara, we appreciate it.
It's very courteous.
861
00:53:42,493 --> 00:53:45,457
I get it.
It's a prime piece of land.
862
00:53:45,459 --> 00:53:47,825
You know what I'd do
if it were me?
863
00:53:47,827 --> 00:53:51,357
I'd put in a big student center
with a fancy coffee shop.
864
00:53:51,359 --> 00:53:52,558
The kids would love it.
865
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,224
I mean, to me, that's more
valuable than a dusty old church.
866
00:53:55,226 --> 00:53:56,557
No offense.
867
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:58,324
But he knows
how I feel about it.
868
00:53:58,326 --> 00:54:00,557
Here's the problem.
869
00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:03,823
What you're doing,
it's against the law.
870
00:54:03,825 --> 00:54:06,324
'Cause eminent domain
doesn't automatically apply
871
00:54:06,326 --> 00:54:09,724
just because you guys
don't like his church.
872
00:54:09,726 --> 00:54:12,557
So, here's my counter.
873
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:17,426
Withdraw your claim or we sue. See
what a judge has to say about it.
874
00:54:18,458 --> 00:54:19,592
We're done.
875
00:54:23,692 --> 00:54:25,458
This case will never
make it to court.
876
00:54:38,458 --> 00:54:40,556
They didn't look worried,
Pearce.
877
00:54:40,558 --> 00:54:42,822
Oh, they are. That's their
job, to not look worried.
878
00:54:42,824 --> 00:54:45,756
Listen, we gotta change the
conversation in the media.
879
00:54:45,758 --> 00:54:48,690
Okay, we gotta put a
face to the opposition.
880
00:54:48,692 --> 00:54:50,590
- Tom?
- Yeah, Tom.
881
00:54:50,592 --> 00:54:53,956
He's the most visible. He's got the
most to lose. You okay with that?
882
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:58,822
I'll just tell the truth. People
need to know what he's doing.
883
00:54:58,824 --> 00:55:00,591
Good boy. Let's go.
884
00:55:02,557 --> 00:55:06,421
But Saint James built
Hadleigh University years ago.
885
00:55:06,423 --> 00:55:08,689
Exactly. So you see how
far this has gone.
886
00:55:08,691 --> 00:55:11,421
And now with
the school board's actions,
887
00:55:11,423 --> 00:55:14,721
we've been given no choice
but to seek a legal solution.
888
00:55:14,723 --> 00:55:17,688
All of these college administrators,
they go on and on and on
889
00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:20,721
about diversity and
tolerance and inclusion,
890
00:55:20,723 --> 00:55:23,821
but yet when it's asked of them,
they run you off of campus.
891
00:55:23,823 --> 00:55:26,421
That doesn't sound very tolerant
or inclusive to me.
892
00:55:26,423 --> 00:55:28,354
Tom Ellsworth
is trying to strip away
893
00:55:28,356 --> 00:55:30,354
the foundational element
of this university
894
00:55:30,356 --> 00:55:33,286
because he believes that
it is no longer convenient.
895
00:55:33,288 --> 00:55:35,588
But truth
isn't about convenience.
896
00:55:35,590 --> 00:55:39,354
And faith in God may not be as
popular on campus as it once was,
897
00:55:39,356 --> 00:55:44,687
but people still have a right, a fundamental
human right, to express their beliefs,
898
00:55:44,689 --> 00:55:47,620
even in a public square
at a state university.
899
00:55:47,622 --> 00:55:51,286
If you agree, we're asking that
you make your voices heard.
900
00:55:51,288 --> 00:55:54,286
Send an e-mail. Make a call.
901
00:55:54,288 --> 00:55:56,553
Let Tom Ellsworth
and the university board know
902
00:55:56,555 --> 00:55:59,953
that you believe the church
still has value.
903
00:55:59,955 --> 00:56:03,954
[woman] The gauntlet has been thrown.
And we'll see how people respond.
904
00:56:03,956 --> 00:56:08,552
[Pearce] Dude, almost three million views!
People are mad. This is good.
905
00:56:08,554 --> 00:56:10,953
Does this buy us
the leverage we need?
906
00:56:10,955 --> 00:56:13,719
Well, we'll find out
at the prelim.
907
00:56:13,721 --> 00:56:18,554
Need the judge to let us argue
the case, but... this all helps.
908
00:56:20,588 --> 00:56:23,421
- Nice work.
- Thanks.
909
00:56:25,421 --> 00:56:28,285
[Dave] I think it's time for me
to get back preaching again.
910
00:56:28,287 --> 00:56:30,853
I'm afraid I'm getting so caught
up in all this, I just...
911
00:56:30,855 --> 00:56:33,419
I don't want to lose sight
of my work, you know.
912
00:56:33,421 --> 00:56:36,686
Well, let me know when and where.
I'll be there for sure.
913
00:56:36,688 --> 00:56:38,752
Hey, we're back.
914
00:56:38,754 --> 00:56:40,752
Oh, I turned it off.
915
00:56:40,754 --> 00:56:43,320
What? Don't you want to see
if they get the diamond?
916
00:56:45,286 --> 00:56:46,585
Don't you knock?
917
00:56:46,587 --> 00:56:48,686
- What are you doing?
- I'm on the phone!
918
00:56:48,688 --> 00:56:51,284
- Who you talking to so late?
- None of your business.
919
00:56:51,286 --> 00:56:52,885
Is that Pearce?
Tell him I said hi.
920
00:56:52,887 --> 00:56:54,418
Meg says hi.
921
00:56:54,420 --> 00:56:56,952
- Hi, Meg.
- Let me call you back.
922
00:56:56,954 --> 00:56:58,852
Ooh, what's
the deal there?
923
00:56:58,854 --> 00:57:00,984
There's no deal.
She's a friend of mine.
924
00:57:00,986 --> 00:57:03,686
She runs one of the
ministries we support.
925
00:57:05,286 --> 00:57:07,283
- What do you want, Pearce?
- Nothing.
926
00:57:07,285 --> 00:57:09,419
- Is that my shirt?
- Yeah.
927
00:57:11,620 --> 00:57:14,817
[dog barking]
928
00:57:14,819 --> 00:57:20,419
[chopping]
929
00:57:26,319 --> 00:57:29,851
- What are you doing?
- I told you, this tree's dead. It's gonna fall on the house.
930
00:57:29,853 --> 00:57:33,417
I didn't ask you to cut it down!
I can do it myself!
931
00:57:33,419 --> 00:57:35,552
- Can you, now?
- Yeah, I could.
932
00:57:36,419 --> 00:57:39,419
- Go for it.
- All right, fine.
933
00:57:44,351 --> 00:57:45,718
You might want to back up.
934
00:57:48,718 --> 00:57:50,718
- Gotta do better than that.
- It was a warm-up.
935
00:57:53,585 --> 00:57:55,616
[clears throat]
936
00:57:55,618 --> 00:57:57,284
Still warming up?
937
00:58:04,952 --> 00:58:07,215
Careful with that
weak heart of yours.
938
00:58:07,217 --> 00:58:08,950
Ha-ha. Funny guy. Watch this.
939
00:58:08,952 --> 00:58:11,215
Get ready
to yell "timber."
940
00:58:11,217 --> 00:58:13,682
I got a better idea.
941
00:58:13,684 --> 00:58:15,849
[electric saw revs]
942
00:58:15,851 --> 00:58:19,283
Oh, now we're talking.
Yeah!
943
00:58:28,317 --> 00:58:31,149
- Okay, give it a push.
- All right, hold up.
944
00:58:32,416 --> 00:58:34,584
- Tell me when you're ready.
- Yeah! Go!
945
00:58:35,816 --> 00:58:37,417
Ah! We almost got it!
946
00:58:39,416 --> 00:58:41,416
Oh! Yeah!
947
00:58:43,816 --> 00:58:45,149
- [grunts]
- Yes!
948
00:58:49,816 --> 00:58:53,214
Just promise me you'll
plant something new here.
949
00:58:53,216 --> 00:58:54,583
Mom liked
pomegranate trees.
950
00:58:58,483 --> 00:59:02,713
Do you even believe
in what we're fighting for?
951
00:59:02,715 --> 00:59:05,413
Do I believe in your right
to keep your church? Yes.
952
00:59:05,415 --> 00:59:08,148
But the rest of it,
you know the answer.
953
00:59:09,281 --> 00:59:11,547
So, why help me?
954
00:59:11,549 --> 00:59:13,546
What do you think
I do for a living?
955
00:59:13,548 --> 00:59:15,347
Do you think I need
to have the belief system
956
00:59:15,349 --> 00:59:18,446
of every crackhead
I defend to defend 'em?
957
00:59:18,448 --> 00:59:22,680
So, religion has no value except
for the laws that protect it?
958
00:59:22,682 --> 00:59:26,947
Value? I don't know.
But people have evolved.
959
00:59:26,949 --> 00:59:29,613
Science has replaced
superstition.
960
00:59:29,615 --> 00:59:32,747
- Church has outlived its usefulness.
- Wow!
961
00:59:32,749 --> 00:59:36,413
Okay, I don't expect you to agree, but
that's okay 'cause this is healthy.
962
00:59:36,415 --> 00:59:38,279
It's a healthy discourse.
963
00:59:38,281 --> 00:59:41,946
Pearce, people are broken.
They're... They're lost.
964
00:59:41,948 --> 00:59:45,278
They're searching
for meaning, for purpose.
965
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,679
Church is the answer
to those problems, huh?
966
00:59:47,681 --> 00:59:52,812
Church is a place for people to seek, to
grapple with those difficult questions.
967
00:59:52,814 --> 00:59:55,581
To find hope and...
and truth.
968
00:59:56,681 --> 01:00:00,745
And you know that.
Or at least you used to.
969
01:00:00,747 --> 01:00:05,411
Why do you need me to agree with you
about everything? I'm just your lawyer.
970
01:00:05,413 --> 01:00:09,279
I didn't come here to debate
religion or do your landscaping.
971
01:00:10,581 --> 01:00:12,411
But, man,
you're my little brother.
972
01:00:12,413 --> 01:00:15,811
And I don't like to see
people push you around.
973
01:00:15,813 --> 01:00:17,945
And that's why
I'm helping you.
974
01:00:17,947 --> 01:00:20,680
And right now, that answer's
gotta be good enough for you.
975
01:00:24,980 --> 01:00:27,678
[Pastor] Now, this whole situation
brings you to the cross.
976
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,878
And the cross is both
vertical and horizontal.
977
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,444
Vertical is me and God,
God and me.
978
01:00:34,446 --> 01:00:36,210
My relationship with Christ.
979
01:00:36,212 --> 01:00:38,344
The horizontal part,
you and I.
980
01:00:38,346 --> 01:00:40,677
Sometimes we get so
caught up in the vertical
981
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:43,677
we forget the horizontal,
forget each other.
982
01:00:43,679 --> 01:00:47,210
Yeah, but it's at the intersection
where Jesus comes in.
983
01:00:47,212 --> 01:00:50,977
That nexus, and that's where Paul's words in
Galatians are so powerful and compelling.
984
01:00:50,979 --> 01:00:53,342
Even Jews and gentiles
are fellow citizens.
985
01:00:53,344 --> 01:00:56,876
So, with all the noise
and anger out there right now,
986
01:00:56,878 --> 01:00:58,876
it's peace
that we have to think about.
987
01:00:58,878 --> 01:01:02,476
And it's gonna require one thing...
It's gonna require sacrificing.
988
01:01:02,478 --> 01:01:05,476
At the end of the day, we can't
forget that Christ's forgiveness
989
01:01:05,478 --> 01:01:07,844
came about via the conduit
of the sacrifice.
990
01:01:07,846 --> 01:01:11,743
And we are called, believe
it or not, to do the same.
991
01:01:11,745 --> 01:01:14,144
[chattering, laughing]
992
01:01:23,744 --> 01:01:25,410
- Hey.
- Hey.
993
01:01:28,477 --> 01:01:29,543
How are you?
994
01:01:31,745 --> 01:01:33,678
Been better.
995
01:01:39,410 --> 01:01:41,677
Do you know why my mom
divorced my dad?
996
01:01:45,810 --> 01:01:47,542
He used to beat her.
997
01:01:50,276 --> 01:01:53,677
I was nine...
when she left him.
998
01:01:57,410 --> 01:01:59,276
You know what
our church did?
999
01:02:01,943 --> 01:02:03,576
They called her a sinner.
1000
01:02:05,844 --> 01:02:09,542
They said that if she married
again, she'd be an adulterer.
1001
01:02:11,209 --> 01:02:13,941
They humiliated her.
1002
01:02:13,943 --> 01:02:16,741
What I remember most
about that time
1003
01:02:16,743 --> 01:02:20,273
is the sound of my mother
crying herself to sleep.
1004
01:02:20,275 --> 01:02:22,476
I'm so sorry. I...
1005
01:02:26,541 --> 01:02:28,676
So, yeah,
I get angry sometimes.
1006
01:02:30,542 --> 01:02:33,873
But I didn't... I didn't mean
for anybody to get hurt.
1007
01:02:33,875 --> 01:02:35,675
I know you didn't.
1008
01:02:39,708 --> 01:02:40,475
[sighs]
1009
01:02:42,341 --> 01:02:44,541
For what it's worth,
I prayed about it.
1010
01:02:47,408 --> 01:02:48,407
And?
1011
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,307
No answer.
1012
01:02:59,341 --> 01:03:01,272
- [all laughing]
- And did you believe him?
1013
01:03:01,274 --> 01:03:02,672
Of course
I believed him.
1014
01:03:02,674 --> 01:03:05,806
I was seven years old. I
believed whatever he told me.
1015
01:03:05,808 --> 01:03:08,338
"Dave, you can make
your own 7 Up.
1016
01:03:08,340 --> 01:03:11,674
All you need is just
water and salt."
1017
01:03:13,540 --> 01:03:15,672
- Did you drink it?
- [Dave] It was terrible, obviously.
1018
01:03:15,674 --> 01:03:17,938
But I kept adding
more and more salt,
1019
01:03:17,940 --> 01:03:21,205
just waiting for
those little bubbles.
1020
01:03:21,207 --> 01:03:26,939
Oh, poor guy. He drank the whole bottle.
Two liters of saltwater.
1021
01:03:26,941 --> 01:03:29,537
[chuckling] But I gotta
hand it to Pearce.
1022
01:03:29,539 --> 01:03:34,537
He waited by my bedside all night
long to make sure that I didn't die.
1023
01:03:34,539 --> 01:03:37,404
Yeah. That's what brothers do.
They look out for each other.
1024
01:03:37,406 --> 01:03:39,537
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear, Brother.
1025
01:03:39,539 --> 01:03:40,638
Thank you.
1026
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,803
- I really thought you were gonna die.
- [Meg laughs]
1027
01:03:43,805 --> 01:03:48,436
Hadleigh University is being flooded with
calls and e-mails from angry citizens,
1028
01:03:48,438 --> 01:03:50,804
and it seems
Chancellor Ellsworth,
1029
01:03:50,806 --> 01:03:52,673
well, taking the brunt
of that anger.
1030
01:04:03,472 --> 01:04:05,472
Kayla's asking
for her bedtime story.
1031
01:04:07,739 --> 01:04:10,336
[cell phone buzzes]
1032
01:04:10,338 --> 01:04:12,271
Don't answer it, Tom.
1033
01:04:17,938 --> 01:04:19,405
Hello?
1034
01:04:20,704 --> 01:04:22,271
Hello!
1035
01:04:22,804 --> 01:04:24,970
Hel... Stop calling me.
1036
01:04:24,972 --> 01:04:26,569
[glass shatters]
1037
01:04:26,571 --> 01:04:28,402
- What was that?
- Stay here, stay here!
1038
01:04:28,404 --> 01:04:29,803
What?
1039
01:04:29,805 --> 01:04:30,936
[Kayla] Daddy!
1040
01:04:30,938 --> 01:04:32,969
Kayla! Come here, baby.
1041
01:04:32,971 --> 01:04:35,471
[tires squealing]
1042
01:04:40,937 --> 01:04:43,270
What was that?
1043
01:04:46,270 --> 01:04:47,536
Go on upstairs.
1044
01:04:50,269 --> 01:04:52,571
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
1045
01:04:55,803 --> 01:04:58,268
[Meg] I'm very proud of you.
1046
01:04:58,270 --> 01:05:01,668
Of me? For what?
1047
01:05:01,670 --> 01:05:05,534
I get the feeling fighting's
not really your thing.
1048
01:05:05,536 --> 01:05:08,600
But it's important,
what you're doing.
1049
01:05:08,602 --> 01:05:10,136
It's inspiring.
1050
01:05:12,603 --> 01:05:15,401
I was just thinking
about that sculptor,
1051
01:05:15,403 --> 01:05:17,470
chiseling away
at that rock.
1052
01:05:19,403 --> 01:05:22,400
It's okay to be broken,
Dave.
1053
01:05:22,402 --> 01:05:25,266
It means God's
still shaping you.
1054
01:05:25,268 --> 01:05:28,402
- [car approaches]
- I'm honored to be a part of it.
1055
01:05:28,936 --> 01:05:31,400
[brakes squeal]
1056
01:05:31,402 --> 01:05:32,133
Tom?
1057
01:05:32,135 --> 01:05:33,934
I'm getting
death threats, Dave!
1058
01:05:33,936 --> 01:05:36,734
Somebody threw a brick
through my window!
1059
01:05:36,736 --> 01:05:39,533
- Okay, just take it easy, okay?
- No, Kayla could've been hurt!
1060
01:05:39,535 --> 01:05:42,266
- I don't know anything about that. I'm sorry.
- No, no. You did this!
1061
01:05:42,268 --> 01:05:43,567
Hey, hey, hey.
1062
01:05:43,569 --> 01:05:45,135
- [grunting]
- Pearce!
1063
01:05:47,669 --> 01:05:51,134
Hey! Get off him!
1064
01:05:55,267 --> 01:05:58,135
You brought
the fight to us, Tom.
1065
01:06:06,267 --> 01:06:07,565
[car door slams,
engine starts]
1066
01:06:07,567 --> 01:06:09,301
I'll get you some ice.
1067
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,534
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
1068
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,264
Maybe we should
just call it a night.
1069
01:06:23,266 --> 01:06:26,600
Yeah. I'll...
I'll just get my stuff.
1070
01:06:34,533 --> 01:06:36,298
I didn't realize
Tom was a psychopath.
1071
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:38,567
Well, he's just scared.
1072
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,133
Thanks.
1073
01:06:43,833 --> 01:06:45,832
Way to impress the lady,
by the way.
1074
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,263
Well, it's kind of
my signature move.
1075
01:06:48,265 --> 01:06:50,798
Invite a girl over and then
get punched in the face.
1076
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,531
Works every time.
1077
01:06:52,533 --> 01:06:53,699
Let's see.
1078
01:06:54,833 --> 01:06:56,400
[sighs]
1079
01:06:57,266 --> 01:06:59,265
Ow. What'd you
do that for?
1080
01:07:00,532 --> 01:07:01,566
You'll be all right.
1081
01:07:05,866 --> 01:07:08,864
[Josh] Cottonwood Christian Center vs.
Cypress Redevelopment Agency?
1082
01:07:08,866 --> 01:07:10,530
I got that.
Give me something else.
1083
01:07:10,532 --> 01:07:12,430
Hey, I got
some leftover pizza.
1084
01:07:12,432 --> 01:07:14,131
Yeah.
1085
01:07:15,532 --> 01:07:18,397
Josh, you're a smart kid.
Why'd you give up on law school?
1086
01:07:18,399 --> 01:07:20,397
Well, I wouldn't say
I gave up on it.
1087
01:07:20,399 --> 01:07:22,529
Once I spent time
on a college campus,
1088
01:07:22,531 --> 01:07:24,396
I realized there was
a real need there.
1089
01:07:24,398 --> 01:07:26,429
Ministry's just another way
for me to serve.
1090
01:07:26,431 --> 01:07:28,262
What kind of law
were you studying?
1091
01:07:28,264 --> 01:07:30,796
Same as you.
Civil rights, social justice.
1092
01:07:30,798 --> 01:07:32,963
Really? 'Cause you don't
strike me as a liberal.
1093
01:07:32,965 --> 01:07:35,796
- Give the kid a break.
- What?
1094
01:07:35,798 --> 01:07:39,596
I don't think standing up for the oppressed
is exclusive to a political agenda.
1095
01:07:39,598 --> 01:07:41,262
Well, let me ask you this.
1096
01:07:41,264 --> 01:07:43,863
Do you think that
your religious beliefs
1097
01:07:43,865 --> 01:07:45,695
get in the way of
real social change?
1098
01:07:45,697 --> 01:07:47,830
No, my beliefs are
the foundation of change.
1099
01:07:47,832 --> 01:07:50,261
The belief that every human
is made in the image of God.
1100
01:07:50,263 --> 01:07:53,529
I mean, Jesus was the ultimate
social justice warrior.
1101
01:07:53,531 --> 01:07:55,595
He said the lives
of children mattered
1102
01:07:55,597 --> 01:07:57,795
and regarded women
with honor and dignity
1103
01:07:57,797 --> 01:08:00,662
in a cultural moment where a woman's
testimony wasn't even permissible
1104
01:08:00,664 --> 01:08:02,662
in a court of law.
1105
01:08:02,664 --> 01:08:05,862
He consistently stood up for the
mistreated and the marginalized.
1106
01:08:05,864 --> 01:08:07,527
Well, I've been doing this
a long time,
1107
01:08:07,529 --> 01:08:10,394
and I wish I'd seen those words
put into action more often.
1108
01:08:10,396 --> 01:08:13,260
Yeah. Me too. We're all
responsible for our part,
1109
01:08:13,262 --> 01:08:16,295
but it's grace and then justice,
not the other way around.
1110
01:08:16,297 --> 01:08:18,561
Why do you serve the court,
not the Lord?
1111
01:08:18,563 --> 01:08:22,861
We should follow the example of Jesus
because... without grace as our goal,
1112
01:08:22,863 --> 01:08:25,327
we're just, you know...
we're just fighting.
1113
01:08:25,329 --> 01:08:28,162
[Dave] Amen.
Let's say grace.
1114
01:08:29,529 --> 01:08:33,461
Dear Lord, thank you for this day.
Thank you for this food.
1115
01:08:33,463 --> 01:08:36,828
Bless it to our bodies and forgive
Pearce for eating before grace.
1116
01:08:36,830 --> 01:08:39,262
- Amen.
- Amen.
1117
01:08:39,962 --> 01:08:41,563
That's not funny.
1118
01:08:44,662 --> 01:08:47,526
[Dave] So, if the judge agrees to let
us go to trial, do we have a shot?
1119
01:08:47,528 --> 01:08:49,426
[Pearce] If we go to
trial, we're gonna win.
1120
01:08:49,428 --> 01:08:51,527
Public's on our side,
jury's on our side.
1121
01:08:51,529 --> 01:08:53,793
- What if the judge says no?
- Then we're done.
1122
01:08:53,795 --> 01:08:55,927
[Dave] Great.
1123
01:08:55,929 --> 01:08:57,927
[sighs] Am I allowed
to talk in there?
1124
01:08:57,929 --> 01:08:59,526
Please don't.
1125
01:08:59,528 --> 01:09:01,526
You know, I've been
thinking, I like this Meg.
1126
01:09:01,528 --> 01:09:04,460
She's the good kind
of Christian, authentic.
1127
01:09:04,462 --> 01:09:06,960
You ought to seal the deal
before she gets wise.
1128
01:09:06,962 --> 01:09:09,525
- It's not exactly great timing.
- [clucks]
1129
01:09:09,527 --> 01:09:11,526
Maybe I don't want to
rush into things.
1130
01:09:11,528 --> 01:09:13,560
Try not to end up
with two ex-wives.
1131
01:09:13,562 --> 01:09:16,926
[scoffs] I forgot to tell you.
It's three now.
1132
01:09:16,928 --> 01:09:18,792
Three?
1133
01:09:18,794 --> 01:09:22,292
Hadleigh offered a sum that's fair
market value for the property.
1134
01:09:22,294 --> 01:09:23,692
It's perfectly fair.
1135
01:09:23,694 --> 01:09:27,459
But Saint James' value can't
be measured only in dollars.
1136
01:09:27,461 --> 01:09:30,392
The court has no standard
for determining intrinsic value.
1137
01:09:30,394 --> 01:09:33,392
Your Honor, Saint James
has had a positive impact
1138
01:09:33,394 --> 01:09:35,392
on this community
for generations.
1139
01:09:35,394 --> 01:09:37,692
The university concedes the
plaintiff is not without merit,
1140
01:09:37,694 --> 01:09:40,459
but we question
the relevancy to this case.
1141
01:09:40,461 --> 01:09:43,926
- May I say something?
- You brought the lawsuit.
1142
01:09:43,928 --> 01:09:48,558
If you want to assess the value of the church
to this community, just turn on the news.
1143
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,126
The community
is speaking loudly.
1144
01:09:54,259 --> 01:09:57,560
This is what victory feels like.
We're going to court!
1145
01:09:58,660 --> 01:10:02,291
Come on, man, this is a big win.
Be happy.
1146
01:10:02,293 --> 01:10:04,291
- Ow!
- Be happy!
1147
01:10:04,293 --> 01:10:05,791
- Stop it.
- Be happy.
1148
01:10:05,793 --> 01:10:07,324
Ow! Will you just...
1149
01:10:07,326 --> 01:10:09,791
Be happy. Oh!
There's my little brother!
1150
01:10:09,793 --> 01:10:11,791
No, I'm not happy
suing my friend.
1151
01:10:11,793 --> 01:10:14,391
I'm not happy
suing anybody.
1152
01:10:14,393 --> 01:10:17,924
Okay. Well, number one, Tom
Ellsworth is not your friend.
1153
01:10:17,926 --> 01:10:21,559
And number two, I'm going to
bed, 'cause you're a buzzkill.
1154
01:10:27,525 --> 01:10:30,824
Paul tells us that
even if you can speak
1155
01:10:30,826 --> 01:10:34,390
the language
of both man and angels,
1156
01:10:34,392 --> 01:10:37,523
if you lack love,
brothers and sisters,
1157
01:10:37,525 --> 01:10:40,256
you're just making
a lot of noise.
1158
01:10:40,258 --> 01:10:44,522
Maybe you're
the world's smartest person
1159
01:10:44,524 --> 01:10:48,422
and you have a great faith
that can move mountains,
1160
01:10:48,424 --> 01:10:50,823
or you give all your money
to the poor,
1161
01:10:50,825 --> 01:10:53,723
or you give your body
over to hardship.
1162
01:10:53,725 --> 01:11:00,124
My Bible says, without love...
you're saying nothing.
1163
01:11:00,924 --> 01:11:03,657
Without love,
you gain nothing.
1164
01:11:04,825 --> 01:11:07,956
And without love...
you are nothing.
1165
01:11:07,958 --> 01:11:09,457
[phone buzzing]
1166
01:11:26,590 --> 01:11:28,922
Hey, Adam. Hey!
1167
01:11:28,924 --> 01:11:30,254
Pastor Dave?
1168
01:11:30,256 --> 01:11:33,253
- Is it true?
- I don't... I don't know.
1169
01:11:33,255 --> 01:11:34,922
- Is it? Tell me!
- Adam!
1170
01:11:34,924 --> 01:11:36,954
[grunts]
1171
01:11:36,956 --> 01:11:39,921
- You killed Jude, didn't you?
- Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy, pal.
1172
01:11:39,923 --> 01:11:42,922
Get off of me!
Get off of me!
1173
01:11:42,924 --> 01:11:44,522
What is wrong
with you?
1174
01:11:48,522 --> 01:11:50,287
[man] Hey, man,
what is going on?
1175
01:11:50,289 --> 01:11:54,320
[indistinct chattering]
1176
01:11:54,322 --> 01:11:56,154
[man] That is bad stuff.
1177
01:12:04,422 --> 01:12:08,921
[beeping]
1178
01:12:08,923 --> 01:12:10,520
[man]
Know what I'm saying?
1179
01:12:10,522 --> 01:12:12,920
I just took your fingerprints
and he's gonna book you.
1180
01:12:12,922 --> 01:12:14,786
Is this, like,
a mug shot?
1181
01:12:14,788 --> 01:12:16,920
Yes. Stand there.
1182
01:12:16,922 --> 01:12:18,653
[Newscaster]
After a shocking confrontation
1183
01:12:18,655 --> 01:12:21,319
by Reverend David Hill
on Hadleigh campus,
1184
01:12:21,321 --> 01:12:26,652
the suspect has been identified as 21-year-old
Hadleigh student Adam Richertson.
1185
01:12:26,654 --> 01:12:30,920
The college senior has no criminal
record and no history of violence,
1186
01:12:30,922 --> 01:12:36,254
which has left many people wondering what
inspired his deadly attack on a church.
1187
01:12:37,654 --> 01:12:39,121
[sniffles]
1188
01:12:40,587 --> 01:12:42,253
I'm so sorry.
1189
01:12:46,387 --> 01:12:48,585
[Teo]
This is beyond messed up.
1190
01:12:48,587 --> 01:12:52,819
I know Adam. He's a
good dude, sincerely.
1191
01:12:52,821 --> 01:12:56,518
And Pastor Dave needs to take
a page from his own book.
1192
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,951
So, you know what? We're
having a protest Friday night.
1193
01:12:59,953 --> 01:13:03,517
Saint James. Make sure
your voice is heard.
1194
01:13:03,519 --> 01:13:07,553
Be there. Be mad. 'Cause
this fight is far from over.
1195
01:13:11,286 --> 01:13:12,554
Have you seen this?
1196
01:13:15,252 --> 01:13:16,918
Media works both ways.
1197
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,918
This gives us
a real shot.
1198
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:23,653
Get the team working on it. I'm gonna
send a gift basket to Reverend Dave.
1199
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,384
We condemn the hateful
actions of Adam Richertson
1200
01:13:33,386 --> 01:13:36,451
in the strongest possible terms.
1201
01:13:36,453 --> 01:13:40,650
They do not represent the values of
our esteemed Hadleigh University.
1202
01:13:40,652 --> 01:13:44,316
We will not stand for
violence or discrimination
1203
01:13:44,318 --> 01:13:47,383
in any form, of any people,
1204
01:13:47,385 --> 01:13:51,516
regardless of their religious
backgrounds and beliefs.
1205
01:13:51,518 --> 01:13:54,650
We've taken the immediate steps
to expel Mr. Richertson,
1206
01:13:54,652 --> 01:13:58,183
and we have encouraged
the state to prosecute him
1207
01:13:58,185 --> 01:14:01,782
to the fullest extent
of the law.
1208
01:14:01,784 --> 01:14:04,917
None of this, however,
should excuse
1209
01:14:04,919 --> 01:14:07,582
the actions
of Reverend Dave Hill.
1210
01:14:07,584 --> 01:14:11,949
His outburst has made
our position stronger...
1211
01:14:11,951 --> 01:14:17,682
that Saint James Church has become a
beacon of violence and controversy,
1212
01:14:17,684 --> 01:14:23,649
and it has no place here
on Hadleigh University campus.
1213
01:14:23,651 --> 01:14:24,782
Good day.
1214
01:14:24,784 --> 01:14:26,650
[reporters clamoring]
1215
01:14:31,416 --> 01:14:34,582
So, Reverend Hill goes after Ellsworth.
Now Ellsworth fires back.
1216
01:14:34,584 --> 01:14:37,548
And meanwhile, this kid Adam Richertson
is caught in the cross fire.
1217
01:14:37,550 --> 01:14:39,581
Judge, this kid
killed somebody.
1218
01:14:39,583 --> 01:14:41,514
Oh, come on. It was an accident.
Everybody knows that.
1219
01:14:41,516 --> 01:14:42,916
The judge and jury's
gonna decide that.
1220
01:14:42,918 --> 01:14:44,015
Speaking of judge and jury,
1221
01:14:44,017 --> 01:14:45,181
who's gonna hold
this reverend accountable?
1222
01:14:45,183 --> 01:14:49,247
Okay, there's a big difference
between a death and a fight.
1223
01:14:49,249 --> 01:14:50,915
This reverend
did attack this kid,
1224
01:14:50,917 --> 01:14:53,246
and now he's calling for the kid
to get put away for 30 years?
1225
01:14:53,248 --> 01:14:54,648
That's insane.
1226
01:14:54,650 --> 01:14:57,247
And there you have it.
Both sides are totally fired up.
1227
01:14:57,249 --> 01:14:59,247
Huge protest is planned
for the weekend.
1228
01:14:59,249 --> 01:15:01,513
And this is teed up
for disaster.
1229
01:15:01,515 --> 01:15:03,380
That's the sign of the times,
isn't it?
1230
01:15:03,382 --> 01:15:06,115
Everybody's yelling.
Nobody's listening.
1231
01:15:07,515 --> 01:15:09,683
[Keaton] It doesn't make sense.
Nothing makes sense.
1232
01:15:11,248 --> 01:15:14,314
Adam never meant
to hurt anyone.
1233
01:15:14,316 --> 01:15:17,513
I'm not saying he shouldn't
own up to what he did,
1234
01:15:17,515 --> 01:15:19,914
but I just don't see
God's mercy here.
1235
01:15:19,916 --> 01:15:21,547
Especially
not from Pastor Dave.
1236
01:15:21,549 --> 01:15:23,380
He's human, Keaton.
1237
01:15:23,382 --> 01:15:25,380
Yeah, but he's supposed
to be a man of God.
1238
01:15:25,382 --> 01:15:27,280
What kind of example
is that?
1239
01:15:27,282 --> 01:15:30,513
I mean, if being a Christian
doesn't affect the way we act,
1240
01:15:30,515 --> 01:15:35,913
then... how do we actually know
that our values and beliefs
1241
01:15:35,915 --> 01:15:38,548
are any more valid
than anyone else's?
1242
01:15:39,915 --> 01:15:41,846
[scoffs]
1243
01:15:41,848 --> 01:15:43,448
Can I show you something?
1244
01:15:47,648 --> 01:15:50,380
A friend said this to me
when I was in high school.
1245
01:15:56,381 --> 01:15:58,245
[chuckles]
1246
01:15:58,247 --> 01:15:59,912
It was inspiring.
1247
01:15:59,914 --> 01:16:03,247
It's why I came to Hadleigh. I
wanted to be a part of something.
1248
01:16:04,647 --> 01:16:08,648
At the time, I'd never even
considered that God could be dead.
1249
01:16:11,914 --> 01:16:14,146
But now...
1250
01:16:17,780 --> 01:16:22,311
It's okay, Keaton. It's good
to ask difficult questions.
1251
01:16:22,313 --> 01:16:26,644
God can use it. He's not
afraid of your uncertainty.
1252
01:16:26,646 --> 01:16:28,245
But I am.
1253
01:16:29,914 --> 01:16:32,778
You know, I think about
John the Baptist.
1254
01:16:32,780 --> 01:16:35,644
If anyone should've been sure
about Jesus, it was him.
1255
01:16:35,646 --> 01:16:38,244
And John said, "I've
seen, and I testify
1256
01:16:38,246 --> 01:16:40,644
that this is
the Son of God."
1257
01:16:40,646 --> 01:16:45,243
And then he got locked up
in Herod's little jail cell,
1258
01:16:45,245 --> 01:16:46,911
and the doubts started
messing with his head.
1259
01:16:46,913 --> 01:16:48,143
"What if I'm wrong
about this Jesus guy?
1260
01:16:48,145 --> 01:16:50,777
What if all the stories I've heard
about him healing people...
1261
01:16:50,779 --> 01:16:52,777
What if
it's just ridiculous?"
1262
01:16:52,779 --> 01:16:56,910
So John sent some of his friends
to watch Jesus and report back.
1263
01:16:56,912 --> 01:17:01,445
And Jesus told them, "Tell John
what you've seen and heard.
1264
01:17:02,645 --> 01:17:05,643
The blind receive their sight.
The lame walk.
1265
01:17:05,645 --> 01:17:09,111
The lepers are cleansed.
The deaf hear."
1266
01:17:10,178 --> 01:17:11,676
John needed to doubt.
1267
01:17:11,678 --> 01:17:13,376
Why, though?
1268
01:17:13,378 --> 01:17:17,244
Because uncertainty led
to the pursuit of truth.
1269
01:17:20,844 --> 01:17:25,144
I know it hurts...
to be in the fire.
1270
01:17:27,243 --> 01:17:31,410
And as painful and confusing
as all of this is...
1271
01:17:32,777 --> 01:17:35,677
it just might be exactly
where God wants you right now.
1272
01:17:39,243 --> 01:17:41,642
[scoffs]
Well, it ain't good.
1273
01:17:41,644 --> 01:17:45,241
Public opinion, your reputation...
It's all gonna take a hit.
1274
01:17:45,243 --> 01:17:46,709
I guess we're gonna
have to wait and see.
1275
01:17:46,711 --> 01:17:49,507
The kid confessed,
so that helps.
1276
01:17:49,509 --> 01:17:51,240
I just wanna know
what you were thinking.
1277
01:17:51,242 --> 01:17:53,508
I wasn't thinking,
obviously.
1278
01:17:53,510 --> 01:17:56,275
You get an anonymous text,
then you go nuts on somebody?
1279
01:17:56,277 --> 01:17:58,643
I'm not interested
in rehashing this, okay?
1280
01:18:01,910 --> 01:18:03,376
Sorry, folks.
1281
01:18:08,509 --> 01:18:11,409
[alarm beeping]
1282
01:18:13,676 --> 01:18:15,239
[alarm stops]
1283
01:18:15,241 --> 01:18:17,541
- What's going on with you?
- I'm a mess!
1284
01:18:17,543 --> 01:18:20,507
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't
know what God wants me to do.
1285
01:18:20,509 --> 01:18:22,441
And I don't know why any
of this is even happening!
1286
01:18:22,443 --> 01:18:25,274
- First, you gotta settle down.
- Oh, I'm sure this is fun for you.
1287
01:18:25,276 --> 01:18:28,406
You get a front-row seat to watch your
little brother, Dave, just self-destruct.
1288
01:18:28,408 --> 01:18:31,108
That's probably why you drove
down here in the first place.
1289
01:18:36,642 --> 01:18:39,573
- Where are you going?
- Oh, I'm walking.
1290
01:18:39,575 --> 01:18:42,406
- You can't.
- Watch me.
1291
01:18:42,408 --> 01:18:43,442
Pearce.
1292
01:18:44,708 --> 01:18:47,373
What?
1293
01:18:47,375 --> 01:18:49,505
You have the car keys.
1294
01:18:49,507 --> 01:18:51,240
[keys jingle]
1295
01:19:28,908 --> 01:19:31,674
- Dave.
- Hey, Roland.
1296
01:19:33,907 --> 01:19:37,239
- How you doing?
- Doing all right.
1297
01:19:38,373 --> 01:19:42,504
You're sure on TV a lot
for someone doing all right.
1298
01:19:42,506 --> 01:19:46,304
All this business with Tom
Ellsworth, and now the boy.
1299
01:19:46,306 --> 01:19:47,771
Well, I didn't ask
for this fight.
1300
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,905
That's a fact, but here it is.
1301
01:19:50,907 --> 01:19:54,236
Keep your eye on
what's important.
1302
01:19:54,238 --> 01:19:55,571
I think what's important
1303
01:19:55,573 --> 01:19:58,837
is that Christians stop
rolling over all the time.
1304
01:19:58,839 --> 01:20:01,171
When is it
our right to fight?
1305
01:20:01,173 --> 01:20:02,804
I'm tired of being
pushed around.
1306
01:20:02,806 --> 01:20:04,904
I'm tired of turning
the other cheek.
1307
01:20:04,906 --> 01:20:06,904
Oh, so now you're tired.
1308
01:20:06,906 --> 01:20:09,303
A minute ago,
you were doing all right.
1309
01:20:09,305 --> 01:20:12,672
I'm just saying, I think it's time that
Christians stand up for themselves.
1310
01:20:15,505 --> 01:20:17,439
Mmm. Well...
1311
01:20:18,672 --> 01:20:24,636
People were drawn to Jesus
because of his... his love.
1312
01:20:24,638 --> 01:20:26,904
His patience and kindness.
1313
01:20:26,906 --> 01:20:30,369
He managed to preach
the truth
1314
01:20:30,371 --> 01:20:33,536
without losing himself
in the bargain.
1315
01:20:33,538 --> 01:20:38,502
He was gentle with the meek and
hard as a rock with the arrogant.
1316
01:20:38,504 --> 01:20:40,636
And when he talked
to the foolish,
1317
01:20:40,638 --> 01:20:43,502
he was patient
1318
01:20:43,504 --> 01:20:46,371
and never became
a fool himself.
1319
01:20:47,370 --> 01:20:50,435
And he was never proud,
David.
1320
01:20:50,437 --> 01:20:52,671
This has nothing to do
with pride, Roland.
1321
01:20:54,504 --> 01:20:57,802
And no offense, but maybe you'd
understand a little better
1322
01:20:57,804 --> 01:20:59,503
if you were the one
being attacked.
1323
01:21:00,637 --> 01:21:02,835
Brother, who do you think
you're talking to?
1324
01:21:02,837 --> 01:21:04,368
I'm a black preacher
in the Deep South.
1325
01:21:04,370 --> 01:21:08,637
I could build you a church with all the
bricks been thrown through my windows.
1326
01:21:10,704 --> 01:21:13,235
You're right. I'm sorry.
1327
01:21:15,437 --> 01:21:17,370
You gotta work through the pain.
1328
01:21:20,502 --> 01:21:24,103
We cannot respond to hate
with more hate.
1329
01:21:24,904 --> 01:21:26,636
And don't forget...
1330
01:21:29,235 --> 01:21:34,235
we are called to be a light
in the darkness.
1331
01:21:44,501 --> 01:21:46,235
I miss Jude.
1332
01:21:48,936 --> 01:21:50,636
[sniffles]
1333
01:21:52,902 --> 01:21:55,101
And I miss you too, Lord.
1334
01:21:58,235 --> 01:22:00,568
I'm trying to do the right thing.
I just...
1335
01:22:04,234 --> 01:22:06,568
I don't know
what that is anymore.
1336
01:22:11,668 --> 01:22:13,766
Hey there.
1337
01:22:13,768 --> 01:22:15,568
Just checking on you.
1338
01:22:17,501 --> 01:22:21,500
I saw the news. I can't
imagine what you're feeling.
1339
01:22:22,268 --> 01:22:24,231
I'd like to see you.
1340
01:22:24,233 --> 01:22:27,231
How about a little adventure?
1341
01:22:27,233 --> 01:22:29,365
I'm gonna send you
a dropped pin.
1342
01:22:29,367 --> 01:22:31,367
I'll meet you there
in an hour?
1343
01:22:34,767 --> 01:22:36,899
It's my church away from church.
1344
01:22:36,901 --> 01:22:39,100
It's where I come
to be alone with God.
1345
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:42,434
I can see why.
1346
01:22:46,233 --> 01:22:49,230
What do you got there?
1347
01:22:49,232 --> 01:22:52,634
I light a candle
for people I'm praying for.
1348
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:58,499
Folks I meet at the restaurant,
friends from AA.
1349
01:22:59,633 --> 01:23:00,633
You.
1350
01:23:04,766 --> 01:23:09,496
I just love the way he uses
other people in our lives to...
1351
01:23:09,498 --> 01:23:15,566
to bring us comfort, to...
remind us that we're loved.
1352
01:23:18,399 --> 01:23:21,398
I think you need
to be reminded right now.
1353
01:23:23,765 --> 01:23:25,632
God is here.
1354
01:23:26,833 --> 01:23:28,432
I'm here.
1355
01:23:30,699 --> 01:23:32,365
And you're loved.
1356
01:23:45,497 --> 01:23:48,230
[door opens, closes]
1357
01:23:50,230 --> 01:23:52,762
I thought you were out
with Meg.
1358
01:23:52,764 --> 01:23:55,228
You screw that up too?
1359
01:23:55,230 --> 01:23:56,929
What are you doing?
1360
01:23:56,931 --> 01:23:59,295
Listen, I'm gonna fly
back to Chicago tonight.
1361
01:23:59,297 --> 01:24:02,228
I left you the name and number
of an attorney friend of mine.
1362
01:24:02,230 --> 01:24:05,562
She'll take good care
of you. My treat.
1363
01:24:05,564 --> 01:24:08,361
Why? Just because
we had an argument?
1364
01:24:08,363 --> 01:24:10,829
- It's just time.
- Pearce, are you kidding me?
1365
01:24:10,831 --> 01:24:12,796
[scoffs]
1366
01:24:12,798 --> 01:24:16,362
You know what? Go ahead.
1367
01:24:16,364 --> 01:24:18,795
Oh, I haven't done enough
for you, huh?
1368
01:24:18,797 --> 01:24:20,561
Come down here,
put my life on hold.
1369
01:24:20,563 --> 01:24:23,628
What, I'm the bad guy now
'cause I'm bailing? Is that it?
1370
01:24:23,630 --> 01:24:25,928
Let's not get into it.
It's not worth it.
1371
01:24:25,930 --> 01:24:29,227
No, I-I think it's worth it.
Let's get into it.
1372
01:24:29,229 --> 01:24:32,227
It's water under the bridge.
I forgave you years ago.
1373
01:24:32,229 --> 01:24:36,227
You forgave me? For what exactly?
For leaving?
1374
01:24:36,229 --> 01:24:38,494
You forced me out. You and Mom and Dad.
All you.
1375
01:24:38,496 --> 01:24:41,494
- Give me a break. No one forced you out.
- Oh, yes, you did!
1376
01:24:41,496 --> 01:24:44,261
I wasn't welcome in this house once
I started asking tough questions.
1377
01:24:44,263 --> 01:24:46,527
Is that what they were?
Tough questions?
1378
01:24:46,529 --> 01:24:49,661
"Oh, why does God allow bad
things to happen to good people?"
1379
01:24:49,663 --> 01:24:52,226
Or, "How do we even know
God exists?" Really?
1380
01:24:52,228 --> 01:24:53,160
Just back off,
little brother.
1381
01:24:53,162 --> 01:24:55,226
Maybe you were just
trying to impress a coed
1382
01:24:55,228 --> 01:24:57,560
with how worldly and
forward thinking you were.
1383
01:24:57,562 --> 01:24:59,760
I guess your Christian
roots were too provincial.
1384
01:24:59,762 --> 01:25:02,927
At least I know what's happening in the
world five miles outside the county line!
1385
01:25:02,929 --> 01:25:04,760
You're right,
I don't know!
1386
01:25:04,762 --> 01:25:06,526
And I don't know why
you left me
1387
01:25:06,528 --> 01:25:08,927
to take care of Mom and
Dad when they were sick!
1388
01:25:08,929 --> 01:25:12,627
Why did you leave me to take care
of everything after they were gone?
1389
01:25:12,629 --> 01:25:15,627
Do you have any idea what
you did to Mom and Dad?
1390
01:25:15,629 --> 01:25:16,893
You broke their hearts!
1391
01:25:16,895 --> 01:25:19,359
You're the one
that broke my heart!
1392
01:25:19,361 --> 01:25:21,826
You really don't get that,
do you?
1393
01:25:21,828 --> 01:25:25,225
You didn't take the time to
understand what I was going through.
1394
01:25:25,227 --> 01:25:29,159
I was trying to sort out
my own faith!
1395
01:25:29,161 --> 01:25:31,259
My own sense of God!
1396
01:25:31,261 --> 01:25:34,759
I was changing, and you
all hated me for it.
1397
01:25:34,761 --> 01:25:37,261
And that's the truth, David.
1398
01:26:00,794 --> 01:26:03,493
[panting]
1399
01:27:17,224 --> 01:27:19,223
What am I doing wrong?
1400
01:27:22,757 --> 01:27:24,524
Just show me.
1401
01:27:29,357 --> 01:27:30,624
Please.
1402
01:27:56,756 --> 01:28:00,623
[panting]
1403
01:28:14,622 --> 01:28:16,088
[car door opens]
1404
01:28:25,621 --> 01:28:27,887
[newscaster on TV] As the battle
rages on in Hope Springs,
1405
01:28:27,889 --> 01:28:30,486
police say they're expecting
hundreds of students and locals
1406
01:28:30,488 --> 01:28:33,753
for a protest outside
Saint James Church.
1407
01:28:33,755 --> 01:28:37,355
- Some showing support for the church...
- [knocking]
1408
01:28:42,354 --> 01:28:43,487
Keaton.
1409
01:28:44,654 --> 01:28:48,385
Did you ever even stop to ask
why Adam threw that brick?
1410
01:28:48,387 --> 01:28:50,752
He's tired of feeling
judged and rejected
1411
01:28:50,754 --> 01:28:54,485
by the people who should
be loving and accepting.
1412
01:28:54,487 --> 01:28:56,752
You want to know why our
generation's leaving the church?
1413
01:28:56,754 --> 01:28:59,485
It's because the whole world
knows what the church is against
1414
01:28:59,487 --> 01:29:02,354
but it's getting harder and
harder to know what it's for.
1415
01:29:04,754 --> 01:29:06,486
You're right.
1416
01:29:08,821 --> 01:29:13,086
There's something I need to do.
Will you come with me?
1417
01:29:15,820 --> 01:29:19,420
[Keaton] Pastor Dave is here to see you...
if you want.
1418
01:29:21,787 --> 01:29:23,651
Sure.
1419
01:29:23,653 --> 01:29:25,219
Okay.
1420
01:29:27,820 --> 01:29:29,352
[lock clicks]
1421
01:29:37,219 --> 01:29:38,519
[door closes]
1422
01:29:47,485 --> 01:29:49,552
I'm the one
that sent you that message.
1423
01:29:52,819 --> 01:29:54,619
I needed you to know.
1424
01:29:59,785 --> 01:30:02,749
I guess I was hoping
that you'd...
1425
01:30:02,751 --> 01:30:04,351
Forgive.
1426
01:30:12,751 --> 01:30:15,217
This is, uh...
This is Jude's Bible.
1427
01:30:21,884 --> 01:30:23,618
He'd want you
to have it.
1428
01:30:33,751 --> 01:30:35,815
I'm so sorry.
1429
01:30:35,817 --> 01:30:38,215
[sobbing]
1430
01:30:38,217 --> 01:30:42,116
About Jude,
I am so... sorry.
1431
01:30:59,483 --> 01:31:03,347
We want to plead
for leniency for Adam.
1432
01:31:03,349 --> 01:31:05,414
I'm the only witness
the state has.
1433
01:31:05,416 --> 01:31:07,347
I'll tell the DA
what I saw,
1434
01:31:07,349 --> 01:31:09,914
that Jude's death couldn't
have been premeditated.
1435
01:31:09,916 --> 01:31:14,514
I spoke with Jude's parents.
They feel the same.
1436
01:31:14,516 --> 01:31:18,480
[sighs] We're hoping the state
will agree to a lesser charge.
1437
01:31:18,482 --> 01:31:20,781
Drop it from a felony
to a misdemeanor.
1438
01:31:20,783 --> 01:31:23,480
Hopefully, he doesn't have
to do any more jail time.
1439
01:31:23,482 --> 01:31:24,680
Why?
1440
01:31:24,682 --> 01:31:28,082
The boy shouldn't be collateral
damage for our fight, Tom.
1441
01:31:29,916 --> 01:31:31,416
[sighs]
1442
01:31:32,683 --> 01:31:35,646
There's gonna be a big protest
tonight at the church.
1443
01:31:35,648 --> 01:31:38,280
Town's on edge. The whole
thing has gone too far.
1444
01:31:38,282 --> 01:31:40,746
- Didn't have to.
- You're right.
1445
01:31:40,748 --> 01:31:42,481
And I'm sorry.
1446
01:31:44,481 --> 01:31:46,481
I truly am.
1447
01:31:48,682 --> 01:31:51,214
For everything.
1448
01:31:59,681 --> 01:32:02,480
Me too. My part.
1449
01:32:08,347 --> 01:32:10,481
[sighs]
1450
01:32:11,415 --> 01:32:13,679
So, what about
the church?
1451
01:32:13,681 --> 01:32:17,278
[protestors] The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1452
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,211
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1453
01:32:20,213 --> 01:32:22,912
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1454
01:32:22,914 --> 01:32:25,347
[chanting continues]
1455
01:32:42,346 --> 01:32:44,878
Can I talk to them?
This is my church.
1456
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:46,612
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1457
01:32:56,212 --> 01:33:00,377
One God! One truth!
One God! One truth!
1458
01:33:00,379 --> 01:33:03,478
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1459
01:33:04,478 --> 01:33:05,610
One God!
1460
01:33:05,612 --> 01:33:08,143
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1461
01:33:08,145 --> 01:33:10,743
The church must go!
Enough is enough!
1462
01:33:10,745 --> 01:33:12,743
[chanting continues]
1463
01:33:12,745 --> 01:33:15,478
[Dave]
May I have your attention?
1464
01:33:16,645 --> 01:33:18,610
Can I please say something?
1465
01:33:18,612 --> 01:33:20,610
Get out of here!
1466
01:33:20,612 --> 01:33:23,877
Excuse me. May I just say...
1467
01:33:23,879 --> 01:33:25,611
May I say something?
1468
01:33:29,344 --> 01:33:31,478
Can I please say something?
1469
01:33:33,210 --> 01:33:37,411
Please! Please! Let's hear
what the man has to say.
1470
01:33:38,878 --> 01:33:40,477
[Dave] Thank you.
1471
01:33:43,611 --> 01:33:45,411
I came here tonight...
1472
01:33:46,610 --> 01:33:49,544
to ask all of you
for your forgiveness.
1473
01:33:53,344 --> 01:33:55,611
The other night, I stood
before this burnt altar...
1474
01:33:57,677 --> 01:34:01,244
and I heard God's voice for the
first time in a long time.
1475
01:34:03,343 --> 01:34:05,209
Couldn't have been clearer.
1476
01:34:07,376 --> 01:34:12,342
He said, "This building...
is not my church."
1477
01:34:13,610 --> 01:34:16,108
Although Saint James
has meant everything to me...
1478
01:34:17,209 --> 01:34:18,610
although
it's been my whole life...
1479
01:34:21,209 --> 01:34:24,475
I would gladly give all
of that up for this.
1480
01:34:26,777 --> 01:34:28,075
For you.
1481
01:34:31,476 --> 01:34:35,473
So I am withdrawing my
lawsuit against the school
1482
01:34:35,475 --> 01:34:38,740
and dropping the charges
against Adam Richertson.
1483
01:34:38,742 --> 01:34:42,473
I've also agreed to turn this
land over to Hadleigh University
1484
01:34:42,475 --> 01:34:45,874
so that they can use it
to build a new student center,
1485
01:34:45,876 --> 01:34:47,874
a long overdue addition
to this campus.
1486
01:34:47,876 --> 01:34:49,874
Chancellor Ellsworth
has assured me
1487
01:34:49,876 --> 01:34:53,205
that this new facility will have
a space for our Harbor House,
1488
01:34:53,207 --> 01:34:57,739
led by our campus minister,
Josh Wheaton.
1489
01:34:57,741 --> 01:34:59,342
As for me...
1490
01:35:01,208 --> 01:35:03,606
I'm going to build
a new church.
1491
01:35:03,608 --> 01:35:07,372
And I don't know how,
I don't know where yet,
1492
01:35:07,374 --> 01:35:10,107
but I'm willing to bet that
God can handle the details.
1493
01:35:11,141 --> 01:35:14,739
And I'd love your help.
All of you.
1494
01:35:14,741 --> 01:35:18,341
We can build something new
together.
1495
01:35:19,374 --> 01:35:23,241
But for now, please,
put down those signs.
1496
01:35:24,473 --> 01:35:26,340
Put 'em down.
1497
01:35:28,340 --> 01:35:29,541
Please.
1498
01:35:32,607 --> 01:35:34,473
Go ahead, lay them down.
1499
01:35:35,407 --> 01:35:36,340
Put 'em down.
1500
01:35:38,740 --> 01:35:40,407
Everyone.
1501
01:35:45,740 --> 01:35:50,073
Let's stop shouting at each
other and start listening.
1502
01:35:52,339 --> 01:35:54,871
It's the only way
that things will get better.
1503
01:35:54,873 --> 01:35:58,206
Now, please,
take these candles...
1504
01:35:59,140 --> 01:36:01,606
and let's stand together.
1505
01:36:46,772 --> 01:36:48,203
Thank you.
1506
01:36:59,470 --> 01:37:01,869
[Dave]
Let this candle represent
1507
01:37:01,871 --> 01:37:07,203
peace, hope... and unity.
1508
01:37:12,336 --> 01:37:13,404
And love.
1509
01:37:25,469 --> 01:37:28,336
[Keaton narrating] Sometimes
all it takes is a spark.
1510
01:37:30,470 --> 01:37:32,336
Something very small.
1511
01:37:33,870 --> 01:37:35,603
But the spark becomes a flame.
1512
01:37:37,336 --> 01:37:40,200
And if that flame spreads,
1513
01:37:40,202 --> 01:37:44,236
the power can be so overwhelming it
transforms everything around it.
1514

[TV host] The divisive
pastor at the center
1515
01:37:57,735 --> 01:37:59,867
of weeks
of vehement protest
1516
01:37:59,869 --> 01:38:05,133
has suddenly become a symbol of
forgiveness and unity in Hope Springs.
1517
01:38:05,135 --> 01:38:07,466
And what was once
a city divided
1518
01:38:07,468 --> 01:38:10,867
is now a community
coming together to heal.
1519
01:38:10,869 --> 01:38:14,667
You can't be taken seriously as a leader
if you roll over for your enemies.
1520
01:38:14,669 --> 01:38:16,899
No, I don't think that
Reverend Hill rolled over.
1521
01:38:16,901 --> 01:38:20,899
I think that he saw people suffering
and he made a sacrifice for them.
1522
01:38:20,901 --> 01:38:24,198
Surely, the parallels to
Christianity are not lost on you.
1523
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,667
So, I mean, call it a
publicity stunt if you want,
1524
01:38:27,669 --> 01:38:29,232
but we were there.
1525
01:38:29,234 --> 01:38:30,599
I mean, this dude's legit.
1526
01:38:30,601 --> 01:38:32,366
He would have won.
1527
01:38:32,368 --> 01:38:35,499
He could have given Hadleigh the
finger, but he handed it back.
1528
01:38:35,501 --> 01:38:38,465
He cares more about this community
than winning. I believe that.
1529
01:38:38,467 --> 01:38:42,631
Perhaps the rest of the country
can take a page from this book.
1530
01:38:42,633 --> 01:38:45,500
- [woman] Your two o'clock is here.
- Send her in, Charlotte.
1531
01:38:46,801 --> 01:38:48,464
Hey. Let me guess.
1532
01:38:48,466 --> 01:38:50,732
You're probably on
another phone interview.
1533
01:38:50,734 --> 01:38:53,197
Listen, if you're going to do
the media circuit thing,
1534
01:38:53,199 --> 01:38:55,332
why don't you get
a big-boy haircut,
1535
01:38:55,334 --> 01:38:57,400
get Meg to take you
clothes shopping.
1536
01:38:58,633 --> 01:39:01,464
Um, give me a call when you
get your head above water.
1537
01:39:01,466 --> 01:39:05,333
I want to hear about the
plans for the new digs.
1538
01:39:07,733 --> 01:39:09,465
I'm proud of you,
little brother.
1539
01:39:10,867 --> 01:39:12,400
Take care, David.
1540
01:39:29,766 --> 01:39:32,198
- Hi.
- Hey.
1541
01:39:40,865 --> 01:39:42,598
[all cheering]
1542
01:39:47,599 --> 01:39:49,730
Congratulations.
1543
01:39:49,732 --> 01:39:51,229
I think you're
gonna love it here.
1544
01:39:51,231 --> 01:39:52,599
Thank you.
Thank you.
1545
01:39:53,731 --> 01:39:55,064
Good stuff.
1546
01:39:57,231 --> 01:39:58,896
You know what I was thinking?
1547
01:39:58,898 --> 01:40:00,596
What's that?
1548
01:40:00,598 --> 01:40:02,197
Jude was right.
1549
01:40:03,331 --> 01:40:04,531
God is good.
1550
01:40:06,197 --> 01:40:07,497
All the time.
1551
01:40:09,131 --> 01:40:10,498
And all the time...
1552
01:40:12,364 --> 01:40:13,598
God is good.
1553
01:40:17,864 --> 01:40:20,064
[Keaton narrating]
I can hear you again.
1554
01:40:21,197 --> 01:40:24,597
And even though I know
you were never really gone...
1555
01:40:28,130 --> 01:40:30,063
it's good to have you back.

The healing that happened here
can happen anywhere.

I'm Michael Tait
of the Newsboys.
1623
01:44:22,455 --> 01:44:24,587
The cure to
what plagues our world
1624
01:44:24,589 --> 01:44:27,452
isn't more division
or finger-pointing.
1625
01:44:27,454 --> 01:44:31,854
It's hope and unity and letting
Christ's love shine through us.
1626
01:44:31,856 --> 01:44:34,185
The beauty
of the human race
1627
01:44:34,187 --> 01:44:37,520
is found in the diversity
of the human race.
1628
01:44:37,522 --> 01:44:39,486
Let's celebrate this.
1629
01:44:39,488 --> 01:44:41,853
Since the very first
God's Not Dead movie,
1630
01:44:41,855 --> 01:44:44,352
we set out to inspire
a movement to show
1631
01:44:44,354 --> 01:44:47,886
God is alive
and still working today.
1632
01:44:47,888 --> 01:44:51,387
It's not easy to see in a world
of division and anger and pain,
1633
01:44:51,389 --> 01:44:54,853
but God remains good
all the time.
1634
01:44:54,855 --> 01:44:57,319
We just need to
show it through our words,
1635
01:44:57,321 --> 01:44:59,852
our actions, and our love.
1636
01:44:59,854 --> 01:45:03,585
It's our chance to be
a light in darkness.
1637
01:45:03,587 --> 01:45:05,119
So let's start right now.
1638
01:45:05,121 --> 01:45:06,485
As you leave the theaters,
1639
01:45:06,487 --> 01:45:09,451
share a message
of integrity and unity
1640
01:45:09,453 --> 01:45:12,718

with the
1642

and by downloading
the "God's Not Dead" app.
1643
01:45:18,121 --> 01:45:20,652
Together, we can create
a wave of hope
1644
01:45:20,654 --> 01:45:22,652
and inspiration online.
1645
01:45:22,654 --> 01:45:26,218
Our world desperately
needs to see the light.
1646
01:45:26,220 --> 01:45:28,484
Let's share it.
Let's be it.
1647
01:45:28,486 --> 01:45:30,053
God bless you.
