God's Country Page #7

That we're losing everything that we've worked

for and you didn't have enough respect for me

or the workers to tell us?

Meghan, how...

how could you do this to us?

Geri, it's not her fault.

She's just doing her job.

Eden, how did all this happen?

I tried everything I could to stop this.

But uh...

our time is short.

I meet with Ms. Doherty tomorrow

to finalize the paperwork.

So, um,

Let's enjoy the rest of the camp.

Pastor, could you lead us in prayer?

Sure.

Dear heavenly father,

we ask for your guidance

and your wisdom,

and that you may pour

your blessing upon your work,

your land,

and your people.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Amen.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

You know, as long as I can remember,

this's been my spot to come

(and) get away from the world,

clear my mind from any worries, doubts,

Fears.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to mislead

you why I was here.

I'm just doing my job.

I should have known.

Right? Like,

who drives up here in a Ferrari?

It's gotta be a banker or a lawyer,

somebody self-oriented.

Yeah, that would be me.

I was exactly that person you

just described when I came here.

I was on a mission

to close on this deal

and get back in time

to have drinks with

my friends in the city.

But something changed.

After seeing all this,

and you sharing your...

your vision with me,

and meeting everyone,

I understand why your father

doesn't wanna part with this land.

This really is God's Country!

Look, I know I can't blame you,

but I don't have to like it.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I feel so bad.

Don't.

I realize that you were

just doing your job.

And...

that I need to forgive you

like Jesus would have.

Do you wanna forgive me?

Yes.

Yes, I do. I...

I really enjoyed

what we shared together.

And I learned that there's a

lesson in every part of life

and it is not your fault

that this camp is broke.

That's something that Jake and

Eden and Caroline have to deal with.

So...

I'm gonna go for a walk.

May I come for a walk with you?

I'd rather be by myself.

I just...

I've a lot to think about.

You've reached Meghan Doherty.

Please leave a message.

Meghan, Whitaker's furious.

he plans to come out there

if you don't call in.

Your job's at stake.

I hope you're doing

the right thing.

I should just close

the deal and walk away.

That's all you have to do.

You've done it a million times before

and it's gotten you a Ferrari,

a home out in the Hollywood Hills.

I mean,

what more do you need?

Who cares if I've taken away

everything they care about?

When have I ever cared before?

Meghan, just stay on task.

It's not personal. It's...

It's business.

It's business.

Hey, pastor Tinsley!

Meghan.

How do you feel today?

Confused.

Okay, I'm listening.

Yesterday I felt so bad, and...

today is the last day,

and I just feel like the executioner.

You're a good servant.

That's all God wants us to be

is good servants.

I guess I've just been experiencing this...

overwhelming amount of guilt

these last few days.

If it's God's will,

then it's his will.

You're only his messenger.

I just feel like there's

something that I should do.

If this is God's will

then it's his will.

Good luck.

Everybody ready?

Hey! Jake!

Jake! Jake!

-What?

- Jake, listen.

Grab your truck

and come with me.

What's going on?

I don't have time to explain.

Just follow me.

Listen, Jake, I know you don't

trust me, but I have an idea.

(I've) had enough of your ideas,

okay? Why should I trust you?

You standing here mad at me

is not going to save this land.

You... let's go to your room

(and) get your business plan.

I have an idea!

If you don't trust me,

then trust God.

Come on.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Meghan, OMG!

Where are you?

We've been worried sick!

Adam, I'm fine.

Tell Whitaker nothing, okay?

I can't just do that.

Look, you fell off the face of the earth.

We all have questions.

Call jason and tell him that

I am on my way bearing gifts.

Okay, my friend?

Yeah, okay.

My car.

Take it. It's yours.

Jason, you told me that if I had

a great opportunity, you wanted in.

This is it.

What is it?

It's the future.

I hope you have

your check book.

Hello.

Mr. Whitaker, we can

no longer wait.

I thought you said the deal

would be closed by today.

Hoshi, relax.

I gave you my word.

You know how these lawyers work,

Going over all that paperwork.

It takes some time.

I understand that, Mr. Whitaker,

but we had a deal,

and we agreed upon a deadline.

- Yeah, but...

- I'll wait for your call.

All right, gather around, folks.

we're gonna start the auction

in about five minutes.

Now, what you're gonna be bidding

on is 1,000 acres of God's Country.

Please, serious bidders only,

Includes three nice trailers,

lovely little log cabin,

and a private lake.

All right,

we'll start the bidding at 75,000.

Wait!

- 1000 acres of...

- No no no no! Wait! wait! Wait!

I got it.

I got the payment.

Here you go.

I'm with Whitaker & Associates and

I hereby present to you the payment

to restore the land into good standing.

Everything seems to be in order.

Sorry, folks, no auction today.

Thanks.

Meghan,

I hope that smile is because Whitaker & Associates

is closed on this land.

No.

We have a new partner.

God's Country is gonna survive,

so we can continue to

save lives and give back.

Do you think the world needs another casino

to take people's money and destroy families?

Why couldn't you build something

that gives back to mankind?

Meghan, you gotta be kidding me.

No, I'm not, sir.

After spending time here and seeing

what this land was really about,

I realized I could not be a part

of building a casino out here.

There are so many other pieces

of land in this vast desert

where the Yakamoto brothers

can build their casino on.

This little piece of land,

this is too valuable,

to this camp,

to these people,

And now me.

You know what?

You're fired.

I know.

Meghan, I trusted you

to come up here

and do the right thing!

And you crossed me?

I did do the right thing,

and it took being up here at God's Country

and this land to finally realize that.

Now if you'll excuse me,

we have a college to build.

Man, I can not believe you

got rid of that sweet ride!

Listen, I'm gonna be in Los

Angeles in a couple of weeks.

Maybe I can come down

there and we can hang out.

Promise.

Yes.

Oh, stop it.

I'm gonna go get the truck.

All right.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I told you I want you to

come hang out with me.

Yeah, but you're just saying that now.

Promise.

You're special.

Thank you.

Meghan, we're truly

gonna miss you.

How did you know?

I didn't.

He did.

You ready to go?

I am.

So, partner, you ready to take me back

to the hustle and bustle of city life?

You know you're always

welcome to stay here.

You can teach business

finance at the college.

Trust me.

I'll be back to check on my new venture.

especially since I'm officially unemployed.
