Is the PM gonna come after us?

You've got nothing
to worry about

if you've done nothing wrong.

We are about to launch

into the biggest
evangelical market in the world.

I am this church.

You were in a hotel room alone

with a woman
who is not your wife.

My role of senior pastor
here in Sydney

is going to be taken on
by my firstborn son, Dion.

Whatever's going on,

you shouldn't have to
carry the can for it.

[screams angrily]

[Taz] It's an enormous promotion
for him.

I have to be worthy.

I want to go to LA.

I want you to come too.

[Jed] Mum, I have my own mouths
to feed right here,

and I'm not going to
abandon them again.

And I love your passion.

I just sometimes wish
that your vision was bigger.

OK, don't ever let yourself
be alone in a room

with any of the pastors, OK?

[sniffles]

Tayla?

[Eli] I'm done with God.

Light can't partner
with darkness.

- I helped you build U Star.
- I know you did.

You couldn't have done it
without me.

[Cal] I couldn't have!

- I sacked Eli.
- What?

Abi, what were you doing
at the cliffs?

- You won't see him again.
- He loves me.

You're not special to him, Rosa.
You're just like everyone else.

I was cleaning up your mess!

By pushing her over the edge?

You pushed her
over the edge, Cal.

[eerie music]

[jet engine hums]

[sombre music]

[Cal] She was just hanging on.

I was trying to help Rosa.

I don't know
what you were doing.

But God certainly wasn't there.

[door slams]

[ominous music]

Hey, who wants to build
a church?

[half-hearted cheering]

Look at us!

Quinn family holiday, huh?
Just like the old days.

[pilot] ...14 hours, arriving...

Where's Moses?

He didn't want to come.

Probably didn't want to be
'miracle boy'.

Feels weird without Eli, huh?

Maybe Eli and Moses
aren't the only ones

who shouldn't be coming to LA.

I need people I can depend on.

[sighs]

[pilot] Cabin crew,
please prepare for take-off.

[message sent whoosh]

[phone vibrates]

[Rosa on video]
Cal Quinn, AKA...

[Cal inhales deeply]

Cal Quinn, AKA...

[Cal inhales deeply]

...super nostrils.

[Rosa laughs]

- [Juno] That's... that's my mum.
- [Jed] Oh, my god.

[Juno] What the fuck?

[Jed] I know.

- [Juno] Oh, my god.
- [Jed] I'm sorry.

[Juno] Oh, my god.
What the fuck?

[jet engine rumbles]

[Rosa] Cal Quinn, AKA...

[jet engine roars]

[theme music]

[jet engine hums]

[Kasey] Hi!

[Mitch] Hey. Welcome to LA.

- Kasey, Mitch, hi.
- Hey, Abi.

Thanks so much for coming.
Cal's just on his way.

We'll get going
and catch up with you later,

if that's alright.

Jed, Juno, you two come with me.

- Hey, welcome to LA.
- Thank you, thank you.

Longest 14 hours ever.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Hey!

Here he is,
the man of the moment.

Thanks, driver.
We're good to go.

- Mitch.
- Cal. Welcome, welcome.

Great to see you. Thank you.

Kasey, lovely to see you.

Thanks for coming, yeah.

Everything alright?

Yeah, yeah, just a...
just a rough flight.

Sure.

Very excited.

[Dion sighs]

This is a nightmare.

[scoffs]

- Did you know about this?
- Dad's an addict, Taz.

And you heard him -

you're in recovery
for the rest of your life.

Yeah, OK,
but the real question now is

how are we going to get him
through the launch?

- That's your real question?
- Yeah.

- After seeing that video?
- Yes.

Are we even sure Cal is
still fit to lead this church?

And you are?

[Taz] Shall I get Eli
on the phone, Dion?

What is the point of calling
Eli? Dad just sacked him.

Yeah, and now the wheels
are falling off, Issy.

- It's ringing.
- Thank you.

You've called Eli.
Leave a message.

[recording beeps]

Eli, it's Dion.
Don't listen to Dad, OK?

I need you on the first flight
to LA.

Call me as soon as you get this.

- Who left you in charge of LA?
- Well, someone's got to do it.

You saw your mum and dad.
14 hours and not a single word.

Look, we're in too deep.
We can't afford to fail now.

He was her fucking pastor, Mum.

- Yeah, I know that.
- She was in his care.

I know she was, Juno.

And I'm sorry
you had to see that.

Look, clearly Cal isn't fit
to lead this church right now.

But, Jed, we need to
get through this opening.

Your father was weak
and he gave in to temptation.

And he will destroy this church
if we let him.

We can't let that happen.

[gentle choral music]

[Cal] What do you do
when you've fallen?

[inhales deeply]

When your sin
has separated you from God?

[laughs]

[Mitch] Here it is.

Cal, you're gonna love this.
On your right.

Wow.

Up to 120,000 cars
pass that each day.

[Kasey] The community here's
really buzzing about Sunday.

That's... that's great.

Dean Santos and his wife, Peggy,

are coming down
all the way from Fresno.

You met him at the convention...

[sombre music]

[Cal] Thanks, Mitch.
I'll call you later.

Whose place is this?

Oh, it's friends'
of the Leeways.

They're on some cruise
in the Bahamas apparently.

I'll be taking
the master bedroom.

I just...

I want you to know

that the second
you want to leave,

you let me know
and we'll leave, OK?

Yep.

I was hoping
I could have a word with Juno.

I need Jed here.

OK.

You don't trust me.

I completely understand.

You paid no respect to her,
to her faith in you.

Doing lines with her,
you call that pastoral care?

No, I don't.

You didn't push her
off that cliff,

but you took her to the edge
and you left her there.

The church was her salvation.

You didn't help her.

I...I accept that.

As the instrument of God,

I have a weight
and a responsibility

for people's lives in my care.

And I failed miserably and--

Where am I supposed to go now?

I thought I belonged somewhere.

- Juno, you do.
- No.

OK, look,
I can't change the things

that I did and didn't do
for Rosa.

These are just words.

But I need you to know
that I cared for your mum.

I really cared for her.

I tried to help her,
I tried to give her counsel,

um, to give her advice.

She didn't need advice,
she needed an example.

I was trying
to do the right thing.

Until you didn't.

Yes, until I didn't.

Because Satan...

Satan was there.

Satan...

Satan was there.

I let the... I let the Devil in.

So did my mum.

[Juno sobs]

[car approaches]

[keys jangle]

[recording beeps]

[Dion] Eli, I need to know
numbers on LA.

How much has Dad actually spent?

[recording beeps]

Eli, it's Abi.
We need you here.

Please, just forget about Cal.
This is my call.

[phone vibrates]

[woman sniffles]

[knock at door]

Tayla,
what are you doing here?

I'm not going to sign an NDA
like Alice did, Eli.

You know what I've seen.

When they would take me on
those overseas trips to babysit,

I saw them
with the company card -

shopping, first-class flights,

charter jets, fancy hotels, helicopters.

All of it.
That's... not charity.

Right?

Do you have evidence?

I have me. I have my word.

They'll come for you.

Yeah, well,
I'm not scared of them.

[eerie music]

[eerie music intensifies]

[chattering]

[gentle music]

[man's voice in distance]

[unsettling music]

[drill whirrs]

[sighs]

[Cal] Where do I go from here,
God?

[foreboding music]

What would you have me do?

[Rosa] No! Please, Cal!

[snaps fingers]

[man] No, further upstage.

Bit more.

Hold it there.

[woman] We need to secure
that rostrum down front.

[man] I'm on it.

[woman] Where are we at?

Thought you weren't coming.

It's our church too.

It's in your best interests
to remember that.

[Taz] Cal, we need to run
through the media schedule

between now and Sunday.

- Yes.
- Is that OK?

Yep.

So Good Morning LA
is confirmed.

That's going to be with
Maddox, Issy and Benji.

And then later that morning,
you and Abi have an interview

on Daytime with Bryan and Becky.

Yep.

[doorbell rings]

[door opens]

Has Moses been behaving?

We have a deal -

no police, no problem.

- Eli.
- Hey, Mo.

Why aren't you in LA?

Why aren't you?

Hey, I got you a little gift.

Not as dangerous
as jumping off roofs,

except for the sharks.

Oh, yeah. [laughs]

You're a good kid, Mo.

[phone vibrates]

Gascoigne.

[Dan] I heard you got fired.

[laughs] Bad news travels fast.

Can we meet?

[eerie music]

[knocks gently]

[door opens]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can I come in?

Of course.

I thought you were
saving yourself.

Why?
Because U Star want me to?

So that's it?

You're done with...
you're done with U Star?

I guess I found God.

But I'm done with your dad.

The only real thing
I've found here

is that feeling when I sing...

and you.

[up-beat music]

[floor manager] We're back
in five, four, three...

My next guest
is a Grammy-winning DJ

and record producer,

worshipped by
a worldwide army of fans.

But he is a man of faith,

devoted to a new church
here in Los Angeles.

- Whoo!
- And there he is!

M.Dox, thank you for being here.

[Maddox] Have you met
my friends?

Why is he wearing rabbit ears?

Um, because
he hasn't been to bed yet.

[Maddox] ...and his dope wife,
Issy.

[Issy] Morning, Jenna.

Issy, tell the folks at home
about U Star.

Well, Jenna,
I think they can expect

to have the most fun
they've ever had at church.

[Maddox] I just love it
when people meet God.

God is... God loves U Star.

God is, like, doing awesome,

and He wants us to as well.

- Amen. [laughs]
- Amen.

[whispers]
"God's doing awesome"?

[whispers] Well, we should
definitely use that line.

[Maddox] We invest.

People are going to think our
church endorses substance abuse.

I don't think people
would notice.

He was nibbling on a carrot,
Benji.

On live TV.

Benj, you're going to have to
babysit him till Sunday.

Issy's right.
And no more all-nighters.

And no drugs, please.

Come on, Dion.

We've got to
get back to the church.

- Bestie.
- Besties!

Thank you.

[clears throat]

[Taz] We're not far away here, guys.

Standing by.

Just so you know,

I've asked Taz to organise
a dinner tonight for the family.

OK.

Try to rally everyone together
for tomorrow.

I'll be on my best behaviour.

[Taz] Here we go. In 10...

- Bryan and Becky.
- Ryan and Becky.

- Bryan and Becky.
- Bryan and Becky.

- Five, four...
- [clears throat]

[Becky] Good morning,
Pastor Cal and Abi Quinn.

- Morning!
- Morning, Becky.

[Bryan] Sure is a long flight
from Down Under.

- I couldn't do it.
- We're used to it, Bryan.

We love it over here, yeah.

[Becky] So, husband-and-wife
team working together.

Be honest, do you ever
get sick of each other?

Oh...

Well, look, you know,
Becky, I guess,

it's, you know, no different
to you and Bryan, really...

Mmm.

...you know,
working together every day.

I mean, Abi's... she's my
right hand and I love her.

- And we make it work.
- We do.

[Bryan] And even though
you've got your doubters,

I'm sure you'll make
U Star in America work too.

♪ And nothing can divide us ♪

♪ Divide us ♪

[Issy] I'm just going to need
some more foldback.

- Um, and a band.
- [Benji] Yeah, yeah.

Alright, and introducing
Pastor Cal Quinn.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Pastor Benji.

Uh... humble origins.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Come such a long way.

Uh, talk, talk,
talk, talk, talk.

And let's take a trip down
memory lane.

[woman] And cue
the video screen.

[machinery whirrs]

Lori, what's going on?

[Lori] We've got some
mechanical issues up here.

- OK.
- Stand by.

[woman] I'm so sorry, Pastor.

OK, do you know what?
Just cut the package.

Cut the package. Cut it!

[Abi] Yeah, alright.

Lori, can we just jump ahead
to the offering?

[Cal] I mean, what the fuck
am I paying for?

[Abi] One-tenth of the produce
of the land...

[softly] Hey.

People always talk about
memory lane

like it's this beautiful thing.

You know, you have a stroll,

you take a little trip.

Like...I...

cannot get out of
memory lane fast enough.

[chuckles]

You know, they do say
we are what we try to forget.

Do they?

Oh, man.

When we started out,
it was so simple.

You know, it was
a beautiful, little thing.

And then...

I don't know, it got big on me,
you know?

The dreams got bigger
and it got bigger.

Then you can't control it.

You know, Dad,
maybe this feeling

that you're having
about memory lane,

it's probably trying to
tell you something.

I don't think it would be
the worst thing in the world

if you kind of went back to
where you started.

[scoffs]

[laughs softly]

[gentle music]

[door opens]

[Dan sighs]

Maybe this isn't bad news, Eli.

Maybe it's for the best.

Dan, I'm over 60.

That was the only job
I've ever worked.

Who's going to hire me?

All those times
I could have left,

opportunities not taken.

I stayed because...

I felt a sense of mission.

You need to look at
the big picture here, Eli.

Storm's rolling in.

The charity bill has passed,

and any day now
we'll get a federal warrant

to enter the premises
for a court-approved audit.

While the Quinns
are distracted in LA,

we'll be kicking the doors in.

But...

you know where the bodies
are buried, Eli.

You dug the holes.

If you co-operate,
you get immunity.

You don't owe Cal Quinn
anything.

Think about it.

[door closes]

[birds chirp]

[water trickles gently]

What are you reading?

My book.

[laughs] Oh, right.

Wow.

What, we can't learn from
ourselves, our own lives,

our own mistakes?

You mean like sacking Eli?

Because sacking Eli
was not a mistake.

He... he doesn't...
He's lost his belief.

- OK, we're a church.
- Right.

Faith is the bottom line.

So why are you so angry?

Eli's gone,
you got what you wanted.

I'm not angry, I'm...

I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed
because he should be here.

He should be helping us.
He's always been...

You just cannot admit
when you're wrong.

- Abi, we need to stick together.
- [sighs]

Because this is childish.
It's ridiculous.

[Abi scoffs]

How's it going to look
if we keep going like this?

How do you think the video
with you and Rosa looks?

[sighs]

This is never going to end,
is it?

I confessed! I confessed!

I failed you. I failed Rosa.

I let you down.
What do you want?

God has forgiven me.
Why can't you?

I'm not sure He has -

and that's a problem
for our church.

[sombre music]

[grunts]

[man] Hey.

- Hey.
- [customer coughs]

Can I get a beer, please?

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

[beer pouring]

[plaintive string music]

[waves crash loudly]

[snaps fingers]

No, no, no, no, no! No!

[Juno] My mum let the Devil in.

[Cal] For 40 days and 40 nights,

Satan came to Him every day
and tempted Him,

promised Him the world
if He renounced His faith.

And Jesus said to the Devil,
it is written,

"You shall not tempt the Lord,
your God."

[crickets chirp]

[door opens]

[Benji exhales heavily]

[Abi clears throat]

Thank you.

[Benji] Yum.

[Abi] Now, thank you all
for coming.

I know it's been
a difficult time.

But before we open our doors
and our hearts

to the good people
of Los Angeles,

I'd like us to say grace.

Lord, we thank you for this food
and this fellowship.

We know that we are strong
when we are in your hands.

And we ask you to watch over us

here in the City of Angels.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Hey, you good?

[quiet chattering]

[Abi] What about you, darling?

[unsettling music]

"I'm only a man...

with...

a galaxy of faults and flaws."

"And while I have tried
to trace those holy footsteps,

I know that I have sinned,

and I will sin again."

You know where I read
those words recently?

In my first book.

- He's quoting himself.
- Yep.

"Sin is a weight we carry

that separates us
from a holy God."

Isaiah 59:2.

And so tonight...

I confess mine to you...

my family.

[exhales sharply]

When my daughter was 15,

she fell pregnant with Moses.

And instead of celebrating
new life,

I turned it into a secret shame

that she would carry with her
forever.

When my son, my eldest son,
was 16,

and he was, um...

struggling with his sexuality,

I sent him to get treatment
inside the church.

And I can see now
that that has consigned him

to a life of pain and confusion.

My younger son

I was so desperate
to bring back to the family

that I bought
his community centre

and I sent in a developer,

who, to force Jed out,

burnt it to the ground.

I betrayed my wife
and the sanctity of our marriage

by having a sexual relationship
with Rosa Adebayo.

- This is bullshit.
- Sit down. Sit down!

Son, sit down.
I'll tell you when we're done.

You...

I paid a fortune
for your little DJ pal

so that his underage liaison
would go away.

But you're no stranger to NDAs,
are you, Benji?

Dad, Alice made that all up.

This family is...

It's mired in sin.

Issy, my angel,
you blackmailed your own father

to get your hands on
U Star LA.

We are drowning in sin.

Sex before marriage.

Lusting after men.

Betraying your own father.

And let's not forget my wife.

Whoever is without sin here...

cast the first stone, huh?

You look within,

and you're gonna see like I do.

That the Devil
has a hold of this church.

The Devil has always had a hold
of this church, Dad!

[foreboding music]

[foreboding music intensifies]

[breathes heavily]

[music distorts]

[Dion gasps]

[Taz] Dion, what are you doing?

[Dion laughs]

Are you crazy?

Dion...

[laughs]

What are you doing?

[breathes heavily]

I don't blame them, Taz.

Dad and Abi.

You know, they were just doing
what they thought was best.

[laughs]

[grunts]

But I deserved to know.

I was ashamed.

There's a towel here.

Come on.

I...I, um...

I kissed Jonathan.

He didn't kiss me back.

Is that what you want?

Um...

[gentle music]

I...I...
I want you to be happy.

I think that's
what I really want.

I just want you to be happy.

[Benji] Shit, that was wild.

Even for your old man.

What's up?

Nothing.

Just thinking about Alice.

[bird calls]

[Jed] What do you mean
he's gone, Mum? Gone where?

- Everything's still here.
- His passport.

- [phone dials]
- Still no answer.

- Do we call Mitch?
- No. No, no.

We can't risk this getting out.

- You don't think that he's...
- Oh, god.

Call the hospitals.
And the police.

Hey, I just spoke to
the gardener.

Apparently Cal drove off
in a taxi early this morning.

Right.

[excited chattering]

[suspenseful music]

Mum, Benji and I are ready.

It's the same plan
that Dad agreed to.

Let Benji do the launch.

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone dials]

[recording]
You've called Cal Quinn.

Leave a message.
[recording beeps]

[sighs]

Where is he?

What's going on?

He's still not answering
his phone.

Well...

I think it should be you
that goes out there, Mum.

Darling, I know
what this church is.

It can't be me.

- Well, don't look at me.
- I'll do it.

- I'll do it.
- [Mitch] Abi!

Have you seen the queue
out front?

Glory to God, Cal was right!

Mitch, we have some news.

And, Lord, we ask you
to bless our man of God

as he prepares
to take his father's place...

and lead our worship here today.

We ask this in Jesus's name.

[both] Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

[phone vibrates]

[phone ceases vibrating]

[mysterious music]

[Mitch] Thank you, everyone,

for joining me and my
beautiful wife, Pastor Kasey.

[cheering]

To welcome a new star
shining above our city.

[exhales sharply]

None of this would be possible
without Cal Quinn,

who sadly can't be here today...

[chuckles nervously]

...to lead us in worship
and praise,

but in his stead...

[whispers] What's up?

This isn't me, Jed.

This... this isn't me.

My friends,
I give you U Star's very own...

Jed Quinn!

[cheering and applause]

[exhales sharply]

[eerie music]

What is a church?

I've been asking myself
this question a lot recently.

I've come to the realisation
that the true church is...

It's not a building.

No, the true church
is invisible.

It's within.

It's a universal body
of believers everywhere...

[man] Yes!

...united in Christ...

[worshippers] Amen!

...following Him
in the ways He taught us.

[exhales shakily]

- He exalts us, lifts us up.
- Amen.

Gives us the strength
to look the Devil in the eye.

[man] Gives us strength!

Stare him down.

[applause]

Before turning our gaze
into the light

so that God's grace
might shine down on us all.

Amen.
