and I need them.

I could lose everything.

I need her.

Her?

Does Beth know?

Look, l wasn't looking

for anything, okay?

I didn't mean for

any of this to happen.

I have a happy marriage.

You know what happens

when you play with fire?

There's a reason why Jesus said,

"if you even look at a woman..."

Nobody takes

that seriously.

You think Jesus just

liked to hear himself talk?

Think it's meant

to just be good advice?

It's a warning, Paul.

You really wanna

leave Beth like me?

It's complicated.

Not really.

You're either in

or you're out.

Yeah, that's what she said.

I haven't done

anything wrong.

I know what I'm doing.

Do you?

Yeah.

Do you?

You think I'm insane,

don't you?

Not at all.

I mean, your situation is

more common than you might think,

but you haven't told me

why you come to Brazil.

I gotta get to the BVCA

before Julia gives her report.

I gotta convince them

I'm a safe bet.

Shouldn't you be at home taking

care of your wife and kids?

If I can straighten this

out in Brazil,

the rest will

take care of itself.

I see.

I'll tell you what,

my friend,

you should come

to the church tonight

when we land

at Rio de Janeiro.

Do you have

something that I...

Like a card,

like a business card,

something that I can

write down the address?

Can you just

write on the back of that?

Sure.

You're gonna love it.

I mean,

the music is great,

and the company's even better.

- Maybe.

- Come on, man, please.

Allow me to introduce you

to some of the Brazilian

Christian hospitality.

We'll see.

Where are you going, mister?

I'm sorry, English.

- G Gringo?

- Yes.

Where you going, sir?

Sir, where you going?

Sorry.

Okay.

Oh, Lord, I just give you

this whole situation.

I give you my husband.

I give you my marriage.

Father, do a miracle.

Strengthen me

to walk by faith.

Give Paul wisdom.

Help him to go

the right way, Father.

I trust that you'll

do this, Father.

I know you will.

Make our marriage stronger

than it's ever been before.

I thank you, Father.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

There is no wrong.

You're either in it,

or you're not.

I have yet to meet

a man like you.

Sometimes God tests us,

but the choice is ours.

Will we choose to obey him?

I'm sorry.

Here we are, sir.

Okay...

- American money okay?

- Yes.

Thank you.

- Have a good night.

- Good luck.

Please forgive me.

I choose you, Lord.

I choose you.

Please give me the strength

to be the man

you want me to be.

Beth,

it's me.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

In fact, I've never been

better in my whole life.

I love you, Beth.

I love you, too.

I'll see you soon?

Okay.

I wanna thank you

for seeing me.

I originally

came here to explain,

to ask for another chance,

to beg for another chance,

but I think what I really

must do here is just apologize.

I promised full

transparency,

and yet I concealed

damaging information.

I lied about the progress

of our flagship product,

and I allowed myself to become

distracted by Ms. Santos,

to the point where I ignored my

responsibilities to my company,

to my wife, and my family.

Are you saying Julia Santos

acted inappropriately?

No, no, not at all.

The problem...

The problem was all mine,

and I apologize,

and I ask

for your forgiveness.

Thank you for your time.

Paul.

Julia.

I heard what you did,

and I would like to thank you

for your honesty.

I would like to offer you

my personal services

as a tour guide

if you'd like.

Thank you, Julia, but...

I need to get home

to my family.

Hope you can understand that.

She's a lucky woman, Paul.

No.

I'm the lucky one.

I wanna see a different me

I wanna change my dream

I wanna feel again

Like it's supposed to be

I wanna change my mind

I wanna fix my heart

Open up my window

Just to scare off the dark

Who

Who

Who

Who cares?

When the romance is gone

Removed it from my song

Touch my lips with a kiss

The Great Wall of China

is 2500 miles long,

too tall to climb,

too thick to knock down,

too long to go around,

and yet China

was invaded 3 times,

3 times in the first 100 years

of the Wall's existence.

H ow?

Their enemies bribed a guard,

and they simply walked on

through an open gate.

They spent so much effort

in the building of the Wall

but not enough in the building

of the character

of the gatekeeper.

I'm the gatekeeper,

and my lack of character

in recent weeks

allowed an enemy in.

I would like you to meet

JOS620.

Alex?

Well, actually, it's not JOS.

It's Joshua, as in Joshua,

chapter 6, verse 20.

He hacked Jericho.

Yeah, I used a horn...

Actually, it was

supposed to be a clue.

I left a bunch of clues.

In the Bible,

Joshua invaded Jericho

when the surrounding

walls of the city collapsed,

but before that he had help.

He had someone on the inside.

- Rahab.

- Yeah.

Why are you

telling us this, Alex?

Paul, can we get on with it?

This kid is disrupting

our meeting.

I'd like to hear what

he has to say, please.

Go on, Alex.

Well, at first the guy said

that you always invite hackers

to test the system

and I'd be

helping you guys out,

but after a while I figured

something was wrong.

Okay, so, are you telling me

that someone in my own company

hacked our own system?

Who?

I don't know.

We never met.

I only talked to him

over the phone.

Paul, honestly,

this is ridiculous.

We are wasting

these people's time.

Go on.

What does this prove?

It proves nothing!

My ringer was left on?

Get off me!

Let go!

I should've seen it.

I should've done my job,

but I was distracted.

For that I'm sorry.

Sometimes the greatest

enemy to combat

is the one within.

No fortress,

no lock, no wall

can keep you from yourself.

I'm sorry to all of you.

Again, I apologize.

I will do better

in the future.

Alex, thank you.

I appreciate you being here.

Why'd he do it?

He was working with SYS-Tek.

They paid him a lot of money

to convince us

that Jericho didn't work,

so we'd abandon it.

After that, he was probably

gonna sell it to them.

Matt, you wanna tell him?

Well, my friend,

I don't know what you did,

but you made quite

an impression over in Brazil.

What are you talking about?

The BVCA wants to

give us another shot.

No way.

- Yeah, and our wonder boy, Alex...

- Yeah?

Apparently, he's figuring out

the missing element to our system.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Oh, this is gonna be amazing.

Yes.

Operator, I'd like to

place an overseas call, please,

to Rio de Janeiro.

That's right.

Brazil.

We gather here today

to celebrate the love

that Paul and Beth

share together

as they renew their vows

before God.

I'm sorry, can you hang on?

Marcos, come here.

Come here.

Come here! Hurry up.

- I couldn't miss it.

- Thank you so much for being here.

Hey everybody,

this is Pastor Marcos,

a very good friend of mine.

He came all the way from Brazil

to be here with us today.

It means so much to me.

I'll explain it to you later.
