Persecuted Page #5

Synopsis: Nationally acclaimed evangelist John Luther is the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform in the States. When a U.S. Senator and Luther's own supporters abduct and frame him in the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed. Out on personal recognizance, Luther escapes police surveillance in search of the truth. And suddenly a once-normal life is targeted by a team of ex-military operatives who wage a relentless campaign to eliminate the incriminating evidence. As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with, or profiting from, the girl's murder. It's a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire American Christian community.

that this is raw unedited video.

Take a look.

This is the President.

Mr. President, are you

watching the feed from CNW?

I am watching it.

It's unforgivable,

absolutely unforgivable.

Yes, sir, agreed.

Should I authorize all mobile assets?

No, I do not want the CIA involved.

I want you and you alone

to get your people out

there and do so quietly.

Yes, sir.

Oh, he can't be that hard to find.

Just... look, whatever it

takes to get clear of this,

we got to do that, all right?

All clear.

Come on.

I'm counting on you, friend.

I am offering you the

opportunity to be

on the right side of history.

All this talk of persecution, it's going to

die and who's going to be left standing?

You are.

This one needs a big smile.

You asked us to come

here as damage control.

People are looking for a symbol.

Will get back up when

they're knocked down.

Put the gun down.

On the ground.

We're United States Secret Service.

I said put it down.

I'm just reaching for my ID.

Putting the weapon down.

On the ground.

We're on the same team, pal.

Is there any way you can reschedule?

I'm sorry, honey,

but you did this to yourself.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hi.

I drew a picture at Sunday School.

Do you want to know

what I drew for you?

Of course I do.

- Who is it?

- I'm talking to Daddy.

John?

Hey.

John, they're dropping the charges.

It's all over the news.

- You saw?

- The President got involved.

Good.

Monica, I want to apologize to you

for shutting you out.

You are the love of my life.

If I don't make it out of this,

I want you to be free.

John, honey, it's time to come home.

I need you to stand down.

I'll kill her.

Don't you think I will?

I'll kill her.

We thought you were dead.

- So did I.

- How are you doing?

I'm alive.

We are being flooded with donations.

We're going to have the best quarter yet.

And I thought you were going

to be in the hospital for weeks.

Ha, ha, what can I say?

It's great to see you.

You look great.

No, I don't.

We prayed for you, John.

We prayed over what to do.

So John, now that

you've been cleared,

we can reconvene as soon as

possible to get you reinstated.

It'll be everything back to normal.

Just like nothing ever happened

and we have some ideas

for the next quarter

that we think you could be

extremely excited about.

Some incredible

outreach opportunities.

You've got cards and letters

from all over the place,

more than ever before, John.

It's unprecedented. The whole

world is standing behind you.

And, want to know what?

God himself is going to

take what happened to you

and use it as testimony to reach

millions more around the globe.

Amen. Hear, hear.

This is going to open doors.

Excuse me.

So if it comes to that,

are you telling me

that you will fall on

your own sword over this?

Diana, if you take away a

man's right to speak his mind

in a country founded on

that very principle,

you don't really have a

country, now, do you?

So there's really no sword left

to fall upon, now, is there?

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's with great pleasure

that I introduce a long-time

friend of mine, John Luther.

The American that fought his

government and survived.

Everybody's here to hear

what you have to say, John.

Let's be nice now, John, real nice.
