Believe Me Page #7

didn't matter where the money went,

because it's not about money to these

people, and it's probably not,

but there's a whole other

group of people

that are just dying,

hold on.

And that depend on this

money just to survive.

I can't... we got to

do the right thing here.

Sam, that's just not

gonna work for me.

Pierce, just... just listen for a second.

That's not happening.

Sam, you make decisions

based off what's right for you.

Okay? And that's fine.

That's what everybody does.

But you're not the authority on

what is right and what is wrong.

You do whatever you want

with your share, okay?

Give it away.

I don't care.

Just don't all of a sudden pretend

like you're some good guy

I'm not acting like because you

had a conviction last night.

I'm a good guy, I just...

anyone would agree

that this is wrong, okay?

No sh*t.

No sh*t, Einstein.

Where was this

four months ago?

Huh? Wasn't so obvious

when you needed the money.

And now I'm in a bind,

and you just leave me

hanging to dry?

I'm not leaving you out to dry, okay?

That's just unreal!

You talk about doing the right thing.

Why stop at giving the money back?

Why don't you

stand there on stage,

tell those thousands of people

you lied to who you really are.

Maybe I should!

Mm-hmm, but you won't.

'Cause you only tell the truth

when it's convenient...

To you.

So do whatever

you want with your share,

but I'm taking mine.

Thank you.

We got a problem.

He's just trying to freak us out.

He's doing a pretty good job.

Tyler wouldn't take... we don't know that!

Find him, okay?

All right. Where are you going?

Just meet me at the house.

And find out where Baker is!

All right, all right.

These guys have been

pretending to be christians

so they can scam money off people.

What?

The prayers, the sermons, the

charity, none of that is real!

Oh, my gosh, you're being ridiculous!

Callie, listen.

Sam has never

drilled any Wells.

He's never even

been to Africa,

and he certainly

does not believe in God.

I found a whole bag of donations

hidden in his closet.

How did he...

- he's been playing all of you.

- Hey, Callie?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hear it from him.

Gabriel...

Now, I know you don't believe

me, and he will never tell you,

but you can hide in the bathroom.

You sound crazy!

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Hey, uh...

Hey, listen, something's come up.

Just call when you get a sec, okay?

Sam,

are you lost?

Where's Callie?

Sam, I thought

we had an understanding.

All right, Gabriel.

Sam, did you

lose something?

What did you do?

I didn't do anything.

You're the one stealing

from the tour, Sam.

Where did you hear that?

I heard it from you.

You're gonna want Yale

to replace that microphone,

which, by the way, I got to side

with Tyler on your argument.

Cameron would not last

a week in Africa.

I don't care what

you think you heard,

but you've stolen what belongs to me.

I need that back.

What I found does not

belong to you.

Prove it.

I did.

You see, I knew Ken

wouldn't believe me,

so I had him count

last night's donations

before he handed them

off to you,

and suffice to say,

there were some

significant

accounting errors.

What do you want,

Gabriel?

It's not about what

I want, Sam.

It's about what's right.

Your fans deserve the truth.

My fans?

You really think people

come to see me or see you?

They're here to worship God,

not to get your autograph.

Are you really gonna

lecture me about God?

You and your friends

are going to jail, Sam.

You are.

And you have no one to

blame but yourself.

Let's get breakfast.

Ken, if there's anything

that I can do... don't.

I think you're

done talking.

This is fraud

and embezzlement, Sam, the kind of thing

that will put you away for a long time,

and I can't even

begin to tell...

excuse me.

None for me, thanks.

I won't be

pressing charges, Sam.

What?

I was part of a church

where the pastor was exposed

for having an affair.

It was a good ministry,

but it slowly fell apart

once the news hit.

As long as

I'm in charge,

we are gonna stay 100 feet

from either side of a scandal,

because there is

no winner.

Ken, you're not gonna let these

guys get away with this...

my mind is made up. You need

to think about how this could

ruin people's faith,

not to mention

our donor list.

I can take over the charity. I

actually care about these people.

We are not having

this conversation again.

You play the songs.

Be grateful

for what God's given you.

If people want

the God squad,

then that's what

they're gonna get.

How are we gonna go about getting

the money to the charity?

It turns out the money you stole is

nothing short of an answered prayer.

See, it's just enough

to cap off the funding for cross

country's fall campus tour.

Ken, you cannot...

you are gonna sign over

all ownership and rights

for project "get Wells soon"

to cross country.

You are gonna travel

with the crew,

you are gonna preach

through the summer,

and you are going to be

very wise with your words,

because discretion,

Mr. atwell,

is the only thing keeping

you boys out of jail.

Now,

is there anyone else

who knows anything about this?

Let's keep it that way.

So we're not

going to jail?

We lost

the money, bake.

Are you kidding

me, man?

Just forget about the money. We're

lucky to have a way out of this.

Look, I can still fix this. Maybe

we do have to stay on tour...

Sam. Hey, Sam,

we don't have to

do anything.

Do you want to go

to prison? No.

It's over.

I had a best

friend growing up.

We were super tight.

He went to prison.

He said he hated it.

Look, guys, maybe

if we can just...

Stop. Just stop.

I'm gonna finish this tour, and

I'm gonna get back to my life.

Me too.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry.

Heard this movie

is so bad-egg.

Did anybody invite the

God squad to the movie?

I did,

but they were saying...

You can't just invite

those guys to a movie.

They're probably busy

doing charity work right now.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

You see how tense they are?

They're sold out for the spirit

in ways you guys

would never understand.

- That's my daughter in there.

- Pull yourself together.

Her brain is in a coma,

not her heart.

What am I supposed to do?

How am I supposed to forgive?

I don't even know

where to begin.

Begin with God.

Your whole life you've

been building houses,

but you've never thought

about your own foundation.

It's too late

for me now.

It's just too hard.

It's never easy

to forgive.

We have to give up

our advantage,

like Christ did

for us.

Oh, it's a terrifying

and vulnerable thing,

but it sets us free.

You're never

gonna save grace

if you don't let

grace save you.

All right, all right.

Can you just talk

to me for a second?

- Just give me five minutes?

- I won't give you two minutes.

Okay, I'm fine with just one.

What do you want, Sam?

I just want to explain myself
