might be using again.

And you finally left him?

No.

Elizabeth needs

a father.

Well, l hope

she gets one.

(James)

l will follow ~All of Me~

with ~Believe is an Act.~

(Johnny C)

Uh-uh, we can't do that.

We always do ''Believe''

before ''All of Me.''

That change will

mess me up big time.

(James)

Ah, we've been doing it this

way the whole tour long.

We have?

Tara and Elizabeth

gonna be waiting?

Johnny?

Huh?

What?

Never seem to find the time

to finish beating these rugs.

l find that hard

to believe.

You doing all right?

Not sure l can keep

holding it all together.

l'm not sure you need to.

[music]

# Is there a code

that l can't crack? #

# N4 life is slipping

right o the tracks. #

# Don't even know

if l want it back #

# so take it away

from me. #

#And l find your beautiful

mind in eveything #

# and eveything

is all l need. #

# l find your beautiful

eyes see eveything, #

# so show me

something beautiful. #

# l find your beautiful eyes

see right through me, #

# so show me what

you want me to be. ##

# so show me what

you want me to be. ##

He's doing it right now.

He's singing about

the love ofJesus

and he's up there

mentally undressing that woman.

Why won't you

say anything?

How long do you want

to keep giving him permission.

Look, we both played

with the painkillers.

l was wrong.

All right.

Go ahead, give

him a pass, again.

And when Elizabeth gets

into drugs or bad men,

go ahead give her

a pass too.

That's not fair.

When you defend

behavior like Johnny's,

who are you really giving

a pass to?

All right, John goes out,

gets himself wasted,

drags himself home again,

what do you get out ofthis?

Nothing.

What do you get out of

this Tara, what's the payo?

The payoff is a deadbeat

drug-strung husband.

No.

What do you get

out ofthis?

What did

your mother getout

of her relationship

with your father?

She got to be

the hero.

(ProM

Okay, good.

What else?

She got to be the good one,

always putting him down.

And what else?

She got to be

the rescuer.

So ifyour dad had

cleaned up his act,

just like your mother wanted,

would she be happy?

Hey, great way

to finish the tour.

What'd you think of

worship before you went on?

Oh, it was great man,

you've always

had a good voice.

Um, well, you know

where to find me

if you need

a newsinger.

You seen Johnny?

Yeah, thanks for

coming out tonight.

No, problem,

you were great.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, take care

you guys.

Bye-bye,

nice to meet you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Hey, babe.

Just doing

the autograph thing.

Who was she, Johnny?

Oh, you know l'm just doing

my lead singer duties, nothing.

You were looking

at her more than anyone else

during that entire concert.

(Johnny C)

l can't see passed

the lights, you know?

l start looking atthe lights

and l start to stare

at somebody, that's just,

that's what l do.

Come on, don't start on

me with that, all right?

We've got the whole world here

and all you can be is unhappy?

My voice,

you knowour band,

it's eveything you ever

wanted and more, you kno

No, Johnny, it's given you

eveything you've everwanted.

(Johnny C)

What is that?

Look, babe,

we sing in front

ofthousands and thousands

of people.

Evey night, we change lives,

that's what we do.

All right,

Mr. Changing Lives,

tell me right here right now,

have you ever cheated on me?

What, l was just

thinking, l'm just thinking.

Just thinking.

Great.

Great.

Elizabeth

and l are staying here.

You're staying here?

Look, l don't know

what you're strung out on.

Let me autograph this

for you.

Leave me alone, man.

# There's a place

in my heart that's empty #

# and l have searched

the world to find #

# someone or

something to fill it, #

# but it's harder

the longer it's denied. #

# It's a hunger

and l can't fill it. #

# It's a thirst in a dy land,

but my heart is starving #

# for something but l'm stuck

in the sinking sand. #

- Thanks forthe pizza.

-Alright, no problem.

#And l've searched

in evey direction #

# when l knowyou're

calling my name, #

# but l choose

not to listen #

# 'cause l know

l'll have to change. #

# So this empty

still remains. #

(Johnny C)

Are you coming

back home?

Please sweey, l miss you,

and Eliabeth too.

l miss you too.

You knowshe wrote

another song for you.

(Johnny C)

She did?

for me?

Yeah.

Oh, babe,

it would be so great

ifyou could just visit

just once, please.

Okay.

# It shom its face

in expectation #

# and again when

achievement's not enough. #

# The more l gain,

the more l see it, #

# but my heart still cries

it's not enough... #

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Oh, l'm sory, l thought

this was my phone.

# But l choose not

to listen, #

# cause l knowl'll have

to change. #

# So this empty

still remains. #

[music]

(male)

You think we

got what we need?

Yeah,

it sounds good.

Hey, Johnny.

Fo-five minutes late,

Johnny.

Man, you guys are

never ready for me.

Ready this time.

[coughing]

What's wrong?

Man, there was a dog barking

Iast night outside

my house and it

just wouldn't stop.

Johnny!

You got anything you

want to talk about?

Hos Tara, Elizabeth?

They're fine.

They're back

at the house right now

and they'rejust

sleeping away like babies.

Sleep, sleep,

beautiful sleep.

lt's so beautiful.

lt's like they have

intestinal worms or something.

lntestinal worms,

you knowthat's a great lyric.

lfyou don't like worms,

howabout seepage?

l've always liked

the word, ''Seepage.''

ln fact seepage

rhymes with sleepage.

[singing]

They, oh,

they've got seepage

in the sleepage.

Whatdo

you think, Brian?

What's going on

with you?

Man, you don't

even want to know.

What is going on?

You don't want me

to ruin yourworld.

How much oxy

are you taking?

(Johnny C)

It's prescription.

There's no pharmacy label

on this and no doctor.

His name's

not on there.

l never did this.

That's my stuff.

l'm sory, Brian.

(rian)

It's okay,

but listen, Johnny.

The label is

voicing concern.

lf this gets out,

the Christian market

will turn

on the whole band.

lt's not gonna

happen this time.

You knowwhat?

Can you just go get a drink

ofwater or something?

(Johnny C)

Man, you know

eveybody wants mis,

the money, the fame...

...to make a difference,

send a message, me,

the James project.

l've been drinking

for quite some time now.

Were you, on stage?

What do you think, man?

Tara left me and she took

Elizabeth with her

and they went down

to Texas.

And you knowwhat?

l think it's better

for eveybody, including you

because there's not

gonna be as much tension.

There won't be

all the crying.

l mean good riddance.

Why?

Because she's

never happy.

(James)

Wm'd she

Ieave you?

She went home.

Why did she

Ieave you, Johnny?

Because l've been

sleeping around, man.

ls matwhatyou

wanted to hear?

Okay, there

You're done.

What do you mean
