Persecuted Page #3

meeting right now.

Now, I believe he

probably didn't do it.

But the fact that he has not

taken into consideration

our needs and the needs of

the ministry, I don't know.

I don't know,

maybe that tells us something.

And if our signing some

piece of legislation

sends a message to Washington

that we are balanced,

that we are in this

for the long haul,

well, then I am for it.

And written in this legislation

for every single member of

this board that complies...

Earmarks.

And I might add a very

generous tax advantage package

and, Dave, you were the

one that always told us

"Be prepared for the

worst case scenario."

Well, brother, we're here.

We're here.

Dave, I'm sorry but

I'm with Ryan on this.

The individual tax benefit alone

knocks this right out of the park.

In you I put my trust.

Save me from those who pursue me.

If I have done this,

if there is any iniquity in my hands,

let my enemy pursue

me and overtake me.

Let him trample my life to the earth.

Monica?

Everything just like normal.

How can we help you?

Hang on just a second.

I know you.

You're the guy from the TV.

What happened to your face?

You can't just let

people in like that.

Don't talk to him like that.

Respect. Learn some respect.

Owen, this is the famous preacher

from the television, you know?

No.

Sorry it's such a mess around here.

I try, but he doesn't

clean up after himself...

neither of them do.

You scorpion woman.

You are?

I'm John Luther.

I was assaulted near this

shop the other night

and I was hoping that one of you

might have seen what happened.

Ah, he's here for the show.

So you're a preacher?

Yes, I am.

He's a fugitive, aren't you?

I know where you're coming from.

That was some madness that went down.

I taped that.

You taped it?

We got needs too.

You understand?

So, my brother, you better believe,

it's going to cost you.

That's why I said

That's why...

Excuse me, sir.

Ryan Morris?

One and only.

We'd like to have a word.

Is that okay with you?

With the FBI, I'd be honored.

I'll tell you what you do.

You get a hold of my office, they'll set

up an appointment, boom, we're good to go.

This'll just take a minute.

Well, I'm sorry, brother.

I mean, I got things to do.

I will help you any way you need but

I'm heading into a meeting so...

We really need to talk.

How can we help you?

I was asked to fill

in for the bishop.

I think you all know that

the Faith and Fairness Act

is a dream that I've had

for quite a long time.

I've wanted to thank Warner

for posting this on the...

Father, thank you very

much for joining us.

Would you have a seat, please?

So I think it's time we got started.

Shall we?

As you all know,

the Faith and Fairness Act

is very close to my heart.

It's been quite a struggle.

People certainly didn't believe we'd be

able to pull the solidarity together

that we have...

I have it, Dad.

I'm going to the police.

Can you meet me?

John? There's something

you need to know.

Dad, I have it.

It's not that simple.

You're in their way.

I really thought he was one of us.

He's been a big supporter

of the ministry for years.

That girl was adopted by a woman

by the name of Chanisse Evans,

two days before report of her death.

They were able to

bypass the waiting list

and a lot of other formalities

with the assistance of

your friend, the Senator,

the majority leader in the

United States Senate.

Now aside from the President,

I don't know of anyone

who's better equipped to

withstand a bullet like this.

Look, son.

With Senator Harrison,

it's about power and money,

but more importantly,

it's what he's a part of,

the people he's associated with,

what SUMAC is trying to do,

what this legislation is

bound to do, the results.

Look at China, look at Russia,

look at Iran, look at

these other places

where we don't bat an eye

when they're dragging people

out of their beds in the middle of the night

and imprisoning them under false charges.

It's oftentimes of people who

think that they're just,

you know, cracking down on crime.

You ask the people in

this country, round here,

about the persecution of Christians,

most times people will just

smile and say, "No such thing.

Not here. Can't happen."

Look, I got you a room.

Go, get yourself cleaned

up a little bit.

It'll do you some good.

But before you go,

one thing you need to

understand above all else.

And that is that the eyes of

all Americans are on you now.

People are looking for a symbol,

for truth, for freedom,

who'll stand up against a barb

of thorny, powerful politicians,

who'll be unbending amidst

all the lies and the slanders

that can be thrown at him,

that will get back up when

they're knocked down.

And that's what you're going to do.

You're going to get back up.

God will decide who's found wanting.

They can't silence the truth.

I want you to watch this.

I am going to expose the

truth about that man.

Right here.

Hey, it's me.

John.

What are you doing coming here?

It's too dangerous.

Oh, God, I need your help.

I'm... what do you need, money?

Well, whatever you've got on you.

John, the whole country

is hunting you.

It's unreal what they're saying.

Can you get this to Monica?

Yeah, of course.

I'll be in touch.

Hello?

Yes, Senator, I have the

President on the line.

Oh, all right, put him through.

- Donald.

- Yes, Mr. President, sir.

How can I help you, sir?

I'd like to share a story

with you, if that's all right?

Oh, all right.

Do you know that feeling

you get in your gut

when something just ain't right?

Uh, yes, I know the feeling, sir.

When I was about eight or nine,

I was walking barefoot

on the back porch.

I heard a rattling sound,

like a kid's toy, you know?

There it was, all coiled up,

a healthy eight-foot rattler,

fangs a-drippin', the whole bit.

Do you know what I did?

No. No, sir.

I wrapped my little nubs around it

and I squeezed until that devil

didn't have any fight left.

Do you know why I did that?

Why?

Because if I did not,

the safety of my entire

family was in jeopardy.

Do I make myself clear?

Hey, uh, by the way,

did you see the polls tonight?

That's pretty superb, huh?

I don't think you understand me.

I certainly do, sir.

Now in a few months,

this is all going to be forgotten

and you'll be in your second term.

You just let me handle this.

Donald, I wash my hands of this.

John Luther is entirely

your misfortune.

John, call me when you can.

I think I've found something here.

Dad!

Dad?

Are you not true to your name?

So have you had any further

contact with John Luther?

Ha, no. Not a peep.

Are you sure?

Hey, I'm on your side.

The only way to be protected

is to be completely honest.

Yeah, well, if he said

he'll show, he'll show,

I mean, what more do you want?

What I want is for you to

give us more information

of the activities of

Senator Harrison.

I can't speak to that.

How would I know?

Look, you got Luther spotters.
