God's Country Page #4

Grudge match. Ping pong.

Let's go. You wanna watch?

I'm gonna watch.

Ok.

Those are for you.

I'll take you to your trailer.

You're gonna want those.

I'm not wearing them.

My trailer?

What is this?

Well, this is your living quarters.

Sorry it's not the plaza hotel.

I am not staying in that.

Well, it's stay in that trailer, or

in the house full of teenagers.

Here or there.

What have I gotten myself into?

Gross!

Get it off!

What are you doing,

stalking me?

No, I just came by

to see if you were okay.

I am not okay!

I hear these things howling at me

and there was this big bug...

Wait. A bug?

Yes!

Are you laughing at me?

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

Hey, mom?

Yeah, honey.

Can you send Geri to

trailer number one, please?

What's up, Jake?

It's Meghan.

And a bug.

It was a big bug. Big.

Sorry. A big bug attacked her, and

now she refuses to go to the trailer.

You want me to send someone

to stay with her?

Affirmative.

Okay, honey. I'll tell Geri. Bye bye.

Thanks.

It was a big, big bug.

Yeah. It's all clear.

Hi again.

Are you always so petulant?

Oh, um...

They actually said that you

needed a little help out here,

so we're gonna be roommates now.

I hope that's okay.

You're not too adjusted

to the wild, huh?

- That's okay.

- Well, now you've a bodyguard.

Thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

This is for you.

What is this?

Um, Mr. Graham said that you

needed some clothes to wear,

so I just brought you some of my own.

I'm not wearing that.

We don't get any signals out here.

What, are you guys in the 1800's?

How do you live like this?

Live like what?

Like this.

No cell phone, Wi-Fi.

What are you supposed to be proving?

(We're) not trynna prove anything. We're

actually just in the middle of nowhere.

Hey, Meghan.

What?

Do you mind if we just say a quick

prayer before we head in for the night?

Pray on.

Okay.

You've reached Meghan Doherty.

Please leave a message.

Meghan, bet you've wrapped

Graham and those documents

around your little finger today.

I can't wait to hear about it.

Call me.

Meghan, wake up!

Meghan. Meghan. Meghan.

Wake up, sleepyhead!

Rise and shine

and kick out the glory, glory

What time is it?

It's 6:
00.

6:
00 a.m.?

Yeah.

Come back at 10:
00 a.m.

I don't do breakfast.

Geri,

where's Meghan?

She wouldn't get up.

Jake, will you ask pastor Tinsley to

start this morning's prayer service?

Yeah, you got it.

Thanks. Be right back.

All right, y'all, how's

everybody doing today?

What is wrong with you?

We're having prayer before breakfast

and you have to join your assigned group.

Listen. I'm tired.

I am not going anywhere.

And I've agreed to stay here for six days.

You agreed to be part of the journey.

Being part of the journey

means taking the journey.

Now (if) you don't show up for your

assigned group, our agreement's off.

You can get back in your fancy car

(and) drive back to Los Angeles today.

Okay. I get your point.

Let me just go take a shower...

No time for that.

You gotta meet your group.

Breakfast is in 15 minutes.

Get up, throw some water on

your face, I'll see you out here.

Jake, do we know

where your father is?

There she is.

Meghan, I think we can all sit down together,

and eat as a family.

Hmm?

Let's bow our heads in prayer.

And Jesus said unto them,

"I am the bread of life,

He that cometh to me

shall never hunger

And he that believeth

on me shall never thirst.

Amen.

Now we can eat.

All right, gang, remember

this is a contest,

so there are special reward activities

for the group that pulls

together and does the best job.

The first activity is a two-Mile

hike up to the tennis courts.

So, Lenny, it's all you, buddy.

Wait.

You all right?

I am not dressed for a two-Mile

hike out in this jungle.

I'd actually be more

worried about the snakes.

Come on, I'm just kidding with you.

I got your back.

You're gonna be all right.

Thank you.

Okay, let's go for a hike!

You've reached Meghan Doherty.

Please leave a message.

Hola, Meghan, you've been

gone for two days now.

We all know when you're working on

a big deal you stop communicating,

but you missed our weekly facial

appointment today, and that's not like you.

Okay, call me. Bye.

Group three, we're here,

and you might notice

that there are no tennis rackets.

But...

We do have these.

Oh, no.

It is bad enough

that we hiked two miles,

And now you expect us to work?

Come on. It'll be fun.

You'll have fun.

We're gonna clean this place up.

We're gonna get it nice and beautiful.

What is fun about hiking two

miles to clean a tennis court?

Listen, it's not about the work.

It's about us working together as a team.

I can't believe

what I'm hearing.

It's like you're brainwashed.

Okay.

We'll start on this end,

and we gotta work our way back.

Let's do it!

Hey, Meghan.

Everything okay?

No.

What do kids learn from hiking two miles

up to a tennis court covered in weeds?

And guess what?

Here are some gloves and shovels

and let's clean the tennis court

and learn about the good lord.

Hmm!

Calm down.

I am not going to calm down!

Why don't you just sign this document?

Just give up already.

There's nothing you can do

to save this land.

Ok, I get it that you are a man

of God and you live off this and,

but I don't see a miracle that's

gonna come out of the sky

and save this place!

You done?

No.

Do you want more money?

'Cause if you want more money,

I can get you more money.

What is it that you want?

Ms. Doherty,

We have an agreement.

I plan to stick to my end

if you stick to yours.

Now if you don't get back

to your group, deal's off.

Well, welcome back!

I need a facial

and a makeover so bad.

Wow!

You look so different.

You look really pretty

without makeup.

Ugh! My body hurts so bad.

Have you ever had a facial or?

No. No.

Sit right there.

'Kay.

You have pretty healthy skin.

You should take care of it.

Oh, I wash it with soap.

Soap?

Soap is the harshest thing on a lady's skin.

My friend Valentina and I,

we get a facial once a week.

Oh.

I feel like my face is cracking.

Wanna see?

Good morning!

What time is it?

5:
45.

Why do we have to get up

so early?

"Early to bed, early to rise, makes

a girl healthy, wealthy, and wise."

All right, I know that's not in the Bible.

How did you sleep?

Gosh, last night was so special.

Just, it was like...

almost like I had a sister.

Ouh!

Oh, are you okay?

It feels like someone's

poured concrete down my back.

Oh no!

Listen, why don't you just go ahead

and tell Mr. Graham that I can't get

out of bed because my back hurts.

Just go ahead.

Okay.

Hello, Meghan?

My... uh...

My dad asked me

to come check on you.

Meghan, are you all right?

I'm gonna come in.

Are you dressed?

Ouh!

Ouh!

Are you okay?

I'm all right. I...

just strained my back from

pulling weeds yesterday.

I thought I had some

Ibuprofen in the car.

Well come on, let's

get you some aspirin.

You wouldn't happen to know where
