"In God's Glory"— message,

which is: "Feel good! Send money!"
4
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:18,578
Why should you send money to me?
5
00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:22,518
Because when I preach and make
you feel good, I do it for the money.
6
00:00:22,587 --> 00:00:26,819
'Cause when you send me money,
I go out and I buy things with it.
I buy material things.

00:00:26,891 --> 00:00:30,812
Now, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about material things.
Let's talk about matter!
8
00:00:30,837 --> 00:00:35,260
Matter is made up of particles,
little tiny particles, which are
held together by an attraction...

no physicist in the world understands.

physicist, no physicist of any kind...

understands what it is,
but they know that it's there.
12
00:00:44,275 --> 00:00:48,268
They know that all
the subatomic particles in the universe
are held together by this attraction,
13
00:00:48,346 --> 00:00:50,746
by this kind of glue,
this superglue.
14
00:00:50,815 --> 00:00:53,943
People, God is the glue!
15
00:00:54,018 --> 00:00:58,011
God is that glue that holds matter
together, and...
16
00:00:58,089 --> 00:01:01,354
matter is material,
and materialism...
17
00:01:01,426 --> 00:01:05,658
is the accumulation of matter,
and I love matter!
18
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:08,028
I love materialism!

00:11:29,385 --> 00:11:32,479
This is the last time, woman.
164
00:11:32,555 --> 00:11:34,614
You hear me?
The last time.
165
00:11:39,095 --> 00:11:41,928
[Sighs]
166
00:11:41,998 --> 00:11:46,196
A 17.63 upward turn in our satellite
service subscribers, Reverend.
167
00:11:46,269 --> 00:11:48,829
17.3, that's terrific.
It's good news.
168
00:11:48,905 --> 00:11:51,032
Hi, Reverend.
Hi, how are you tonight?
169
00:11:51,107 --> 00:11:53,041
Yeah, it's—
Bill Bob, I got the new Plumbicons.
170
00:11:53,109 --> 00:11:55,976
The cameras are all
dialed in if you wanna see
the difference in resolution.
171
00:11:56,045 --> 00:11:59,173
They'll read down to two foot-candles,
and we won't need all those lights.
172
00:11:59,755 --> 00:12:01,746
Good. That's real good.
173
00:12:03,085 --> 00:12:06,111
[Phone Ringing]
174
00:12:06,189 --> 00:12:09,386
Hello?
[Woman]
Patch through from Metro-Dade.
175
00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:13,121
- Are you Detective Tubbs?
- Yes, I am. Who is this?
176
00:12:13,196 --> 00:12:16,893
I know that you're the man
who arrested Mrs. Proverb.
177
00:12:16,966 --> 00:12:20,663
And it goes against my heart to do this,
but I have to reveal to you the truth.
178
00:12:20,736 --> 00:12:23,796
[Gasping]
See, I'm impelled by a spiritual force
deep inside of me,
179
00:12:23,873 --> 00:12:26,865
and it's bigger, deeper
than even what I can control.
180
00:12:26,943 --> 00:12:30,208
What are you smoking,
snorting or drinking?
181
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,247
Whatever it is,
I don't want any of it.
182
00:12:32,315 --> 00:12:34,977
This conversation's over.
No, please wait.
183
00:12:35,051 --> 00:12:39,112
They are gonna try to tell you
that she's innocent.
184
00:12:39,188 --> 00:12:41,418
But she's not.
185
00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:46,223
I know, 'cause I'm in the church,
and it's all part of a big lie.
186
00:12:46,295 --> 00:12:49,787
The big stuff that they're into now—
I can tell you, but I'm afraid.
187
00:12:49,865 --> 00:12:52,163
Detective, you're gonna have
to come here right now.
188
00:12:52,235 --> 00:12:54,328
Where are you?
189
00:12:54,403 --> 00:12:57,395
Are you the young lady
I talked to on the phone?
190
00:12:57,473 --> 00:13:00,067
Yes.
191
00:13:00,142 --> 00:13:03,407
Well, you got somethin' to say,
let's hear it.
192
00:13:03,479 --> 00:13:07,939
I'm late for a date.
See, it's very difficult
for me to talk about this.
193
00:13:09,619 --> 00:13:11,678
There's a bunch of us girls
who work down here...
194
00:13:11,754 --> 00:13:14,120
as ushers for the Reverend Bill Bob—
195
00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:16,818
and, well, all of us are runaways
from the street, you see.
196
00:13:16,892 --> 00:13:20,851
The Reverend Bill Bob and
Mrs. Proverb, they took us in—
helped us all real good.
197
00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:23,990
Yeah, so?
My name's Faye Nell.
198
00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:28,628
Uh-huh.
See, I must tell you the truth,
because I cannot lie.
199
00:13:28,704 --> 00:13:31,730
But in order for me to do that,
I have to betray my great
indebtedness...
200
00:13:31,807 --> 00:13:35,072
towards very good people,
and why, that just about
breaks my heart.
201
00:13:36,212 --> 00:13:39,579
[Screaming]
Help! Help! Oh, God, rape!
Hey!
202
00:13:39,649 --> 00:13:43,107
Rape!
Oh, help me!
Hey! Hey!
203
00:13:43,185 --> 00:13:46,780
Oh, help me!
Help me!
204
00:13:46,856 --> 00:13:49,518
Freeze!
Don't move!
205
00:13:57,191 --> 00:14:00,160
Oh, the great Internal Affairs
Investigator Stroh.
206
00:14:00,185 --> 00:14:03,484
Was it exceptionally slow
over there today, or what?
Very funny.
207
00:14:03,555 --> 00:14:07,184
We got her blood on his shirt,
a diversionary prowler report
to the watchman,
208
00:14:07,258 --> 00:14:11,251
and as far as I can ascertain,
no reasonable motivation
to set Tubbs up.
209
00:14:11,329 --> 00:14:15,390
No. How about the, uh,
Leona Proverb case, huh?
210
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:17,935
You ever hear of that?
Angel of the Airwaves?
211
00:14:18,002 --> 00:14:20,232
No, I guess that wouldn't have
anything to do with it.
212
00:14:20,305 --> 00:14:22,500
I wanna see my partner,
thank you.
213
00:14:22,574 --> 00:14:25,771
I got five minutes in the john, Crockett.
That's all the time you get.
214
00:14:25,844 --> 00:14:28,369
Sanchez, give 'em the room.
215
00:14:31,249 --> 00:14:34,650
So what happened,
you lose your phone book?
[Sighs]
216
00:14:34,719 --> 00:14:36,653
They sure jumped on this wagon fast.
217
00:14:36,721 --> 00:14:39,690
Oh, hell, Rico, they got nothin'.
They're fishin'.
218
00:14:39,758 --> 00:14:44,161
Yeah, they got a bruised teenager
pointin' a finger
at a black off-duty cop.
219
00:14:44,229 --> 00:14:46,493
Says I wanted to know her
in the Biblical way.
220
00:14:47,499 --> 00:14:50,627
No backup, no alibi.
This is a weird frame, man.
221
00:14:50,702 --> 00:14:53,569
The switchboard can confirm
that she placed the call.
222
00:14:53,638 --> 00:14:57,335
What the hell do they think,
one look and your libido
suddenly went critical?
223
00:14:58,476 --> 00:15:00,535
[Sighs]
If this wasn't you,
I'd think it was funny.
224
00:15:00,612 --> 00:15:04,048
It is me, and it's not funny.
225
00:15:04,115 --> 00:15:08,916
You know, guys with suitcases
full of money and drugs, I can understand,
226
00:15:08,987 --> 00:15:10,955
but bein' set up by a preacher?
227
00:15:11,022 --> 00:15:13,957
Uh-uh.
I'll tell you what else—
228
00:15:14,025 --> 00:15:18,015
Stroh doesn't buy the theory
that Bill Bob set this up
to take the heat off his wife, either.
229
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,132
Sorry, guys, recess is cut short.
These were just delivered.
230
00:15:24,835 --> 00:15:28,027
We lifted these off
the studio security camera videotapes.
231
00:15:28,106 --> 00:15:30,836
Hard to tell who's doin'what to who.

[Slams Fist On Table]
233
00:15:37,549 --> 00:15:41,451
[Crockett]
Those guys over at I.A.D.
Must be bored out of their minds.
234
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:45,922
This is the flimsiest excuse
for an internal investigation
I've ever heard of.
235
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:48,652
Don't push Stroh.
He doesn't like you.
236
00:15:48,726 --> 00:15:50,819
If you wanna help Tubbs,
look under rocks.
237
00:15:50,895 --> 00:15:52,886
[Faye]
Never heard anything
like that in my life.
238
00:15:52,964 --> 00:15:55,489
You heard it on your Walkman radio?
Mm-hmm.
239
00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:58,035
Right over my little earphones.
I sure did.
240
00:15:58,102 --> 00:16:00,764
Just yes or no, please.
241
00:16:00,839 --> 00:16:03,273
The name Proverb came up
on a federal warrant a while ago.
242
00:16:03,341 --> 00:16:07,641
Get his tax history, daily activities,
contacts, habits, everything.
243

[Handset Settles In Cradle]
244
00:16:13,251 --> 00:16:15,549
Has he ever talked to you before?
245
00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:20,115
[Sighs]
Not directly, no.
246
00:16:20,191 --> 00:16:22,716
[Technician]
Is that a yes or no?
247
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:25,262
[Faye]
Oh, well, I guess—
I guess that would be a yes.
248
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:29,164
You see, what he did is,
he told me to privately meet
with Detective Tubbs...
249
00:16:29,234 --> 00:16:33,830
and explain to him his mistake
in accusing the good Mrs. Proverb...
250
00:16:33,905 --> 00:16:37,102
of this absolutely terrible crime.
251
00:16:38,209 --> 00:16:41,406

What the hell was all that about?
That's about
the strangest one yet.

Don't be cute, Lieu.

whole career in a Cuisinart.

You gotta help me get him out.

She was a nut.
She's a fanatic.

She believes she was raped.
You're kidding.

Three games?

00:17:26,591 --> 00:17:29,685
Why, you chiselin' little—
All right, fine.
265
00:17:30,695 --> 00:17:33,528

Oh, you're not thinkin'
big enough.

Bigger?
Uh-huh.

Over her earphones.
268
00:17:39,604 --> 00:17:42,664
God.
Through her earphones.
269
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:46,972
I'm serious.
She thinks this is real.
270
00:17:47,045 --> 00:17:49,479
She skated through the polygraph.
271
00:17:49,547 --> 00:17:53,142
You try to break her down,
you'll dig Tubbs in deeper.

You know, it happens.
273
00:17:55,733 --> 00:18:00,085
It had to be Bill Bob.
I had a guy once in purple robes.
He was picking pockets at the airport.
274
00:18:00,158 --> 00:18:03,594
So steady that you'd think
he was asleep.
[Chuckles]
275
00:18:03,661 --> 00:18:05,419
Passed with flying colors.
Okay.
276
00:18:05,444 --> 00:18:08,395
Except we had pictures
on him working.
We just gotta nail Bill Bob Proverb.
277
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,864
God told him that he could lie,
and he sure could.
278
00:18:10,935 --> 00:18:13,645
Get him to tell us how.
Somebody made that girl
believe the same thing.
279
00:18:13,670 --> 00:18:15,729
That's what it was.
280
00:18:16,925 --> 00:18:19,655
[Man]
I'm sorry, no,
I- I really just can't do that.
281
00:18:19,727 --> 00:18:23,993
I cannot implicate Bill Bob Proverb
in anything illegal.
282
00:18:24,065 --> 00:18:26,056
We do compete.
283
00:18:26,134 --> 00:18:30,571
I mean, I compete with him,
but only in the earthly sense.
284
00:18:30,638 --> 00:18:32,765
Mm-hmm.
285
00:18:32,841 --> 00:18:38,370
So, in the earthly sense,
his stats make him an all-star,
286
00:18:38,446 --> 00:18:41,904
while you're still
rakin' the field, so to speak.
287
00:18:41,983 --> 00:18:45,009
The truth is, and
don't quote me on this,
288
00:18:45,086 --> 00:18:49,785
I think he's a hedonist
and an overblown grandstander.
289
00:18:49,858 --> 00:18:52,190
As people, we couldn't
be more different.
290
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:54,194
Help me understand this.
291
00:18:54,262 --> 00:18:56,958
Uh, you were his partner
10 years ago.
292
00:18:57,031 --> 00:18:59,966
Gimme the short course here.
What's his angle?
293
00:19:00,034 --> 00:19:04,801
His angle? Pleasure.
294
00:19:04,873 --> 00:19:08,809
Mm-hmm. Oh, when we were
young and full of grace,
295
00:19:08,877 --> 00:19:11,141
lucky if 10 people would listen
and wanted to come forward.
296
00:19:11,212 --> 00:19:13,146
He was happy.
297
00:19:13,214 --> 00:19:16,650
Now he is so obsessed
with his own celebrity.
298
00:19:16,718 --> 00:19:19,778
I just don't really know
what he's like anymore.
299
00:19:19,854 --> 00:19:22,482
He's got his own private
reserve of wayward girls.
300
00:19:22,557 --> 00:19:25,993
"Angels," he calls 'em.
301
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:31,726
And does he... have love for these girls
in the earthly sense, too?
302
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,927
Well, you see,
303
00:19:35,003 --> 00:19:39,599
in an environment
lauding worldly success
and satisfaction now—
304
00:19:39,674 --> 00:19:42,438
That's one of
his books, by the way—
305
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:45,707
I'm not surprised what
happened to this girl, Faye Nell.
306
00:19:47,282 --> 00:19:51,548
But Jesus tells us to hate sin
and love the sinner.
307
00:19:51,619 --> 00:19:55,419
I'm sure Bill Bob's heart
is still pure.
308
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,859
[Chuckles]
Pure what?
309
00:20:02,497 --> 00:20:06,365
[Woman] I'm tellin' you, Sonny,
he grabbed the address
out of the file on Switek's desk.
310
00:20:06,434 --> 00:20:09,403
[Crockett]
Damn it, he's not supposed
to go anywhere near them.
311
00:20:14,075 --> 00:20:16,066
Not hardly.
312
00:20:16,144 --> 00:20:18,977
What I really wanna know is,
what kind of religion...
313
00:20:19,047 --> 00:20:22,073
says it's okay
to set up a phony rape charge?
314
00:20:22,985 --> 00:20:25,545
Not my religion, friend.
315
00:20:26,354 --> 00:20:31,417
No, Faye Nell Portis is blessed
to me, but she's hardly a card
I would play in a bad hand.
316
00:20:32,827 --> 00:20:36,377
Whatever you believe,
I didn't have anything to do
with what happened to you.
317
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:42,363
I suggest you get yourself
some therapy.
318
00:20:42,437 --> 00:20:44,837
It's probably work-related stress.
319
00:20:44,906 --> 00:20:46,999
Look, I don't need a shrink.
320
00:20:47,075 --> 00:20:49,873
What I'd like are some straight answers,
right here and right now.
321
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:52,504
Well, that makes two of us.
322
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:54,639
Maybe I should have my lawyers call...
323
00:20:54,716 --> 00:20:59,653
and find out why
a suspended police officer
is harassing me in my home.
324
00:20:59,721 --> 00:21:03,418
- I'm not harassing you.
- I hope you won't do that, Reverend.
325
00:21:03,491 --> 00:21:05,459
This is my partner.
326
00:21:05,526 --> 00:21:08,757
He knows he made a big mistake
by coming here.
327
00:21:08,830 --> 00:21:11,094
It won't happen again.
328
00:21:11,165 --> 00:21:13,292
I'll see to it.
329
00:21:14,369 --> 00:21:18,499
Well, forgiveness is not mine
to give in this situation, but, uh,
330
00:21:19,127 --> 00:21:21,118
perhaps patience is.
331
00:21:21,809 --> 00:21:23,970
Fair enough.
[Groans]
332
00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:29,406
Gentlemen, I should tell you
that I am prepared for this
to become a battle.
333
00:21:30,354 --> 00:21:32,749
Almost everything does.
334
00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:35,254
It seems to be part
of the price I have to pay.
335
00:21:35,323 --> 00:21:38,315
What kind of price is that?
336
00:21:38,393 --> 00:21:40,623
My soul.
337
00:21:40,695 --> 00:21:43,858
My soul, in exchange
for millions of souls.
338
00:21:43,931 --> 00:21:45,865
[Chuckles]
339
00:21:45,933 --> 00:21:49,767
You see, you think you understand me,
but you don't really know me at all.
340
00:21:51,806 --> 00:21:57,210
Nobody wants to be saved
by some obscure, threadbare,
raggedy-butt preacher anymore.
341
00:21:59,781 --> 00:22:05,242
So I'm forced to martyr myself
on a cross of luxury.
342
00:22:08,389 --> 00:22:10,380
Forgive me.
343
00:22:14,362 --> 00:22:17,422
[Exhales]
How'd you know I was here?
344
00:22:17,498 --> 00:22:19,762
What do you think?
Yellow pages.
345
00:22:21,769 --> 00:22:25,364
[Grunts, Sighs]
Man, oh, man.
Look at him work.
346
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,670
Just gather over here.
I'll be with you in a minute.
347
00:22:30,693 --> 00:22:32,627
[Proverb]
Anywhere here'll be fine.
Thank you.
348
00:22:33,881 --> 00:22:35,906
What're you doin'?
You my guardian angel or somethin'?
349
00:22:35,983 --> 00:22:38,281
Well, I guess, if I have to be.
350
00:22:38,352 --> 00:22:42,413
I got back to O.C.B. And I get,
uh, Stroh pokin' around there.
351
00:22:42,490 --> 00:22:44,424
He wants you, Rico.
352
00:22:44,492 --> 00:22:47,552
He's not gonna need
that rape charge
if he catches you off the leash.
353
00:22:47,628 --> 00:22:51,291
My wife has a few words to say,
after which...
354
00:22:51,365 --> 00:22:53,731
I would like to make a statement.
355
00:22:54,802 --> 00:22:59,865
Um, last night, as you know,
an innocent teenage girl,
356
00:22:59,941 --> 00:23:01,875
a daughter
of our congregation,
357
00:23:01,943 --> 00:23:06,676
was raped by the officer
who arrested me.
358
00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:11,276
Now, I feel compelled
to tell the whole story.
359
00:23:11,352 --> 00:23:14,583
Two nights ago, when
I stopped to ask for directions,
360
00:23:14,655 --> 00:23:17,089
that same officer, Ricardo Tubbs,
361
00:23:17,158 --> 00:23:19,786
also tried to...
362
00:23:19,861 --> 00:23:23,565
force me into lewd acts.
363
00:23:24,332 --> 00:23:27,426
I'm on this. Come on.
Come on, Rico. Let's go.
That witch!
364
00:23:27,502 --> 00:23:31,097
I know that our—
our loyal friends and family...
365
00:23:31,172 --> 00:23:34,335
will not let us down
in this hour of need.
366
00:23:34,408 --> 00:23:39,368
I'd like to remind everyone,
that phone number is
1-800-555-L-O-V-E.
367
00:23:39,447 --> 00:23:43,383
Love.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you.

00:23:47,455 --> 00:23:50,117
Your ratings are up.

[Imitating TV Announcer]
Hello, ladies, and welcome to
Lifestyles of the Rich and Holy.
370
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:03,033
That's right, Bill Bob Proverb
is on his way.
371
00:24:03,104 --> 00:24:05,971
You can't miss him.
He's dressed like a sofa.
372
00:24:06,202 --> 00:24:10,639
- [Static Crackles]
- Yeah, Switey, you must shop
at the same store, huh?
373
00:24:13,517 --> 00:24:21,032
( ♪ Satellite - The Hooters ♪ )
374
00:24:44,927 --> 00:24:47,862
He's out of the limo
at 9th and Ocean.
[Static Crackles]
375
00:25:20,563 --> 00:25:22,895
[Crockett]
Switek was on this guy
all the time, huh?
376
00:25:22,965 --> 00:25:26,264
The man was being more careful
than a mule from Bogota.
377
00:25:26,335 --> 00:25:28,803
In and out of buildings,
changed his clothes—
378
00:25:28,871 --> 00:25:31,465
According to the fax from
Washington, it's consistent.
379
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:34,407
Apparently this clown is
some bona fide do-gooder.
380
00:25:34,476 --> 00:25:36,671
One-third of his annual proceeds
go to the homeless,
381
00:25:36,745 --> 00:25:40,704
skid row hospices, two clinics
in New Orleans, et cetera, et cetera.
382
00:25:40,783 --> 00:25:42,944
I asked in the kitchen after he left.
383
00:25:43,018 --> 00:25:47,079
He's been making these weekly treks
for the past three years.
384
00:25:47,156 --> 00:25:49,989
And, uh, he insists on anonymity.
385
00:25:50,059 --> 00:25:53,085
So maybe he's tired of stardom,
wants to get back in touch
with his roots.
386
00:25:53,162 --> 00:25:55,995
- What are his roots?
- After Miami in the '60s,
387
00:25:56,065 --> 00:25:59,398
he ran a tent revival out the back
of a Land Rover in Ethiopia.
388
00:25:59,468 --> 00:26:03,268
He was there during the worst
of the drought, makin' it a little
easier for those that were dying.
389
00:26:03,339 --> 00:26:05,569
He got permanent
lung scarring from the dust.
390
00:26:05,641 --> 00:26:09,441
[Clicks Tongue]
Man, I'm not believin' this.
391
00:26:09,511 --> 00:26:12,309
Believe it.
392
00:26:12,381 --> 00:26:14,440
[Tubbs]
This doesn't break down at all.
393
00:26:14,516 --> 00:26:18,316
If Reverend Bill Bob Proverb is a saint,
then who set me up, and why?
394
00:26:18,387 --> 00:26:22,084
[Crockett]
Someone who wants us to take down
not just the wife, but Bill Bob, too.
395
00:26:22,157 --> 00:26:24,489
Yeah? And who's that?
We're gonna find out.
396
00:26:25,761 --> 00:26:29,253
Guy that we thought was
the devil is some sort of a saint.
397
00:26:31,682 --> 00:26:34,549
Even if Leona was in trouble,
398
00:26:34,619 --> 00:26:37,531
I just don't believe that Bill Bob
was the one who framed me, man.
399
00:26:37,609 --> 00:26:39,500
He didn't set me up.
Well, then, who did?
400
00:26:39,525 --> 00:26:41,591
I don't know.
Well, neither do I.
401
00:26:41,659 --> 00:26:43,593
So let's find out.
Okay!
402
00:26:43,661 --> 00:26:46,721
What the hell
are you yellin' about?
I'm angry, man. I'm angry!
403
00:26:46,797 --> 00:26:49,231
All right, so who stands
to gain if you take a fall?
404
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,234
What the hell's
the matter with this thing?
405
00:26:51,302 --> 00:26:54,863
Look, they jacked
the price up two bits.
You're kiddin' me!
406
00:26:54,939 --> 00:26:58,272
Seventy-five cents for a soda!
It was a dime when I was a kid.
407
00:26:58,342 --> 00:27:02,711
Maybe— Maybe it's not
about me takin' a fall. Maybe—
Lemme have a quarter.
408
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:05,214
Oh, yeah?
What's it about, then?
I don't know.
409
00:27:05,283 --> 00:27:07,717
What was our first
reflexive response...
410
00:27:07,785 --> 00:27:11,380
off the assumption that Bill Bob
was responsible for framing me?
411
00:27:14,325 --> 00:27:16,816
All right, so the cop gets framed.
412
00:27:16,894 --> 00:27:19,761
We go to Bill Bob,
we tear apart his ministry.
413
00:27:21,332 --> 00:27:23,800
Who wants that to happen?
Someone who doesn't like Bill Bob.
414
00:27:23,868 --> 00:27:26,268
Someone who wants to see him
take a fall.
Gimme another quarter.
415
00:27:26,337 --> 00:27:28,737
Not just his wife,
but Bill Bob himself.
416
00:27:28,806 --> 00:27:32,207
Someone who doesn't
like Bill Bob very much.
[Coin Rattling]
417
00:27:34,445 --> 00:27:38,438
[Sighs]
All right, so we'll see who's at the top
of the chart on that hit parade,
418
00:27:38,516 --> 00:27:42,509
and five will get you an 800 number
that that's the dude
that we're lookin' for.
419
00:27:42,586 --> 00:27:46,022
[Man]
I call it a starter kit. A little bit of everything.
Basic line you grow from.
420
00:27:46,090 --> 00:27:49,253
First you need your
John 3: 16 heaven tracts, two-color.
By the ream that's $5.99.
421
00:27:49,327 --> 00:27:51,261
Now I'm gonna show you something.
422
00:27:51,329 --> 00:27:53,524
This is called glow-in-the-dark
crosses and mezuzahs.
423
00:27:53,597 --> 00:27:56,225
You're thinking, " Why do I need
a glow-in-the-dark cross?" Right?
424
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,234
Nighttime, pal.
God can't see in the dark, right?
425
00:27:58,302 --> 00:28:00,827
You got an electrical storm brewing.
You're frightened and scared.
426
00:28:00,905 --> 00:28:05,171
The lights come down.
You wanna pray for the lights
to come back on, you can't find it. There it is.
427
00:28:05,242 --> 00:28:09,622
Glow-in-the-dark gives you round-the-clock,
24-hour, night and day protection.
I'll give you $19.95 for the whole—
428
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:12,045
Okay, you're twistin' my arm.
I'll tell you what I do.
429
00:28:12,116 --> 00:28:17,019
I'm gonna give you 150 stain-resistant,
laminated holy cards—We throw it in,
we call it even. Whaddya say?
430
00:28:17,088 --> 00:28:18,762
You Eddie Felcher?
431
00:28:18,787 --> 00:28:23,246
Fast Eddie, friends. Fast to get you up
and earning in the only industry to outpace
Standard & Poor's average seven years in a row.
432
00:28:23,271 --> 00:28:27,794
Salvation! [Laughs]
What exactly is your,
uh, ecclesiastical bent?
433
00:28:27,865 --> 00:28:31,164
U.S. Post Office,
Investigation Division.
434
00:28:31,235 --> 00:28:33,226
Mail fraud.
435
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,175
Look, if that's about
those damned bottles again,
I already told you everything.
436
00:28:39,243 --> 00:28:41,177
What "damned bottles"?
437
00:28:41,245 --> 00:28:46,615
Guy raised 11 million to put these little Bibles
in little bottles and float 'em down the
Gulf Stream to save the communists in Cuba.
438
00:28:46,684 --> 00:28:48,709
Twenty-nine bottles, they all wind up
on Daytona Beach.
439
00:28:48,786 --> 00:28:53,052
Just because I sold him the little bottles
does not— does not— make me
an accomplice. I checked with my lawyer.
440
00:28:53,124 --> 00:28:56,924
We're not here for the Bibles,
and we're not here for
the crosses that glow in the dark.
441
00:28:56,994 --> 00:29:01,556
No, Eddie, you see, we're
here for the 1984 land fraud.
442
00:29:01,632 --> 00:29:03,657
You know, the mail order?
You remember that?
443
00:29:03,734 --> 00:29:06,532
You know, when you were sellin'
the people the motor home lots?
444
00:29:06,604 --> 00:29:09,004
[Chuckles]
The only problem was,
they were in the Gulf Stream.
445
00:29:10,474 --> 00:29:13,875
Yeah, that's—Yeah.
Yeah, and you did 18 months
in the country club.
446
00:29:13,944 --> 00:29:16,344
You remember that, don't ya?
Uh-huh? Yeah.
447
00:29:16,414 --> 00:29:20,077
Now, does your present clientele know
that you were the bad guy in that?
448
00:29:20,151 --> 00:29:22,517
All right, okay, look,
maybe we can, uh—
449
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:25,282
Maybe we can get some simple
answers to some simple questions.
450
00:29:25,356 --> 00:29:29,224
Like, uh, if
Reverend Bill Bob Proverb...
451
00:29:29,293 --> 00:29:33,127
got in deep trouble,
who smiles the brightest?
452
00:29:33,197 --> 00:29:35,859
[Chuckles]
That's easy. Mason Mather.
453
00:29:35,933 --> 00:29:39,664
Mather? Wait a minute.
I talked to him.
454
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:43,173
He admits to bein' second fiddle.
He's got no problem with that.
455
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,868
You tellin' me there's more to it?
The big "gig."
456
00:29:45,943 --> 00:29:49,379
Gigahertz, microwaves. Come on.
Get hip to the new-time religion, guys.
457
00:29:49,447 --> 00:29:53,178
When Bill Bob Proverb decided
to go on the bird— the satellite—
Mason Mather took a pass.
458
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:57,050
Now, without a slice, his ticket
to Washington politics is null and void.
459
00:29:58,289 --> 00:30:00,780
I thought everybody used it.
[Laughs]
Not at first.
460
00:30:00,858 --> 00:30:06,194
Mason Mather didn't want his holy words
and images traveling through the same
microchips as the bunny channel.
461
00:30:07,775 --> 00:30:11,328
[Chuckling]
So why doesn't he get it now?
462
00:30:11,402 --> 00:30:13,495
No room at the inn.
He's got a local show,
463
00:30:13,571 --> 00:30:15,835
but you can't book a satellite
frequency to save your soul.
464
00:30:15,906 --> 00:30:19,307
He's stuck mailin' tapes up and down
the Bible Belt. Bicycling them,
like 10 years ago.
465
00:30:19,376 --> 00:30:23,506
Only way Mason Mather can
get on the bird is to knock
Billy Bob Proverb off of it.
466
00:30:28,719 --> 00:30:31,187
Back to work, Eddie.
467
00:30:31,778 --> 00:30:34,144
I hate you postal guys.
468
00:30:35,493 --> 00:30:40,556
Come on, Deacon, where is he?
I told you, it's not possible
to see Brother Mather.
469
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:42,565
He's ecstatic.
470
00:30:42,633 --> 00:30:46,228
Listen, Jake, I don't care
if he's so happy he's howlin'
at the moon!
471
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:48,703
He's in a state
of heightened spirituality.
472
00:30:48,772 --> 00:30:51,869
- I'll heighten your spirituality.
- This is police business.
473
00:30:51,894 --> 00:30:54,988
Unless you've got a court order
or an arrest warrant—
474
00:30:58,682 --> 00:31:00,650
You give him a message.
475
00:31:00,718 --> 00:31:05,178
You tell him, call me at this number,
or I'll get that warrant.
476
00:31:05,256 --> 00:31:08,054
Fine. Oh, speaking of messages—
477
00:31:08,125 --> 00:31:11,754
I think Brother Mather'll
have one for you.
478
00:31:11,829 --> 00:31:15,060
It'll be a major revelation
on tonight's show.
479
00:31:15,132 --> 00:31:19,466
10:00 p.m., Channel 60.
Be there.

( ♪ Black Book - Rank And File ♪ )
481
00:31:27,711 --> 00:31:31,772
Faye Nell Portis beat the machine,
therefore she believes what she's sayin'.
482
00:31:31,849 --> 00:31:34,374
Or maybe Mason Mather
got to her.
483
00:31:34,451 --> 00:31:37,477
As we wander through this
wonderland with the loony tunes,
484
00:31:37,555 --> 00:31:42,322
I.A.D. Is pressin', and my career
is goin' down the drain so fast
there isn't even a swirl.
485
00:31:42,393 --> 00:31:46,227
Alex, change the channel
to 60 for a minute.

487
00:31:48,299 --> 00:31:52,599
Now, beneath this—
Relax. We'll get back to you
head-bangers in a second.
488
00:31:52,670 --> 00:31:55,833
Now, beneath the surface,
there's gotta be some reason in this.
489
00:31:55,906 --> 00:32:00,172
There's—There's cause and effect,
there's— there's motive and behavior.
490
00:32:00,244 --> 00:32:03,736
Now, these guys, in their world,
they cannot be all that irrational.
491
00:32:03,814 --> 00:32:07,250
[Mather]
I will scourge the earth
of his evil ministry.
492
00:32:07,318 --> 00:32:09,286
I hereby make
the following prediction.
493
00:32:09,353 --> 00:32:13,187
The miracle is this:
The sky will part,
494
00:32:13,257 --> 00:32:16,124
and fire and lightning
will come from heaven.
495
00:32:16,193 --> 00:32:19,287
Fire and lightning
will destroy his evil ministry!
496
00:32:20,965 --> 00:32:25,993
The Lord will send fire and lightning
down on Reverend Bill Bob Proverb...
497
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:29,030
in exactly two hours and 10 minutes!
498

[Sniffs]
499
00:32:51,059 --> 00:32:52,993
Come on, Reverend,
you've gotta leave.
500
00:32:53,061 --> 00:32:55,552
I ain't gonna let him destroy you—
Get your hands off me!
501
00:32:55,631 --> 00:32:58,964
Mason Mather ain't keepin' me
off my own show. We're goin'
live tonight, you understand?
502
00:32:59,034 --> 00:33:01,696
No tape. We're goin' live.
I want a camera on right now.
503
00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:04,000
Is this thing workin'?
Gimme some sound over here!
[Handset Beeping]
504
00:33:04,072 --> 00:33:06,506
Let's roll.
505
00:33:08,444 --> 00:33:10,708
[Coughing]
Are you on the air?
506
00:33:10,779 --> 00:33:14,306
We're on the air.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for joining us tonight.
507
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:18,547
This is the Reverend Bill Bob Proverb,
and I'm comin' to you live tonight...
508
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:20,554
because a certain minister of God—
509
00:33:20,622 --> 00:33:24,080
perhaps I should say
a so-called minister of God—
510
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:27,686
has made some wicked and
unbelievable predictions...
511
00:33:27,763 --> 00:33:29,697
about the events
of tonight's show.
512
00:33:29,765 --> 00:33:32,962
I wanted to be standin'
here in person to show—
Lemme ask you a question, people.
513
00:33:33,035 --> 00:33:36,493
Does it look as if
the sky is gonna part?
[Laughs]
514
00:33:36,572 --> 00:33:41,063
Does it look as if fire is gonna
rain down on me tonight?
That's ridiculous, people.
515
00:33:41,088 --> 00:33:43,022
Absolutely ridiculous!
516
00:33:56,625 --> 00:33:58,991
[Whimpers]
Billy Bob!
517
00:33:59,061 --> 00:34:01,222
[Thunderclap]
518
00:34:02,698 --> 00:34:05,189
[Woman On P.A.]
Dr. McCullen, Surgery please.
519
00:34:05,267 --> 00:34:07,326
Dr. McCullen.
520
00:34:13,025 --> 00:34:16,927
- Very good, guys! Excellent response.
- Yeah, very nice, very nice.
521
00:34:16,995 --> 00:34:19,225
Listen, the deacon wants
to see you down in the lounge.
522
00:34:19,297 --> 00:34:21,265
Grab a cup of coffee.
We got it.
523
00:34:21,333 --> 00:34:26,202
- That's not quite true, gentlemen.
- [Chuckles]
524
00:34:26,271 --> 00:34:29,263
Uh, okay, Deacon,
we want to speak to Mather.
525
00:34:29,341 --> 00:34:32,435
He's being attended by
Dr. Kermit Ollinger from Atlanta.
526
00:34:32,511 --> 00:34:36,003
Well, what he needs is a lawyer.
And we'll be happy to wait,
527
00:34:36,081 --> 00:34:39,209
if that's what he wants, but
we're gonna ask him right now.
528
00:34:39,284 --> 00:34:42,583
- I'm sorry, you can't do that.
- The man is suspect in everything...
529
00:34:42,654 --> 00:34:47,023
from criminal conspiracy
to the use of lightning as a lethal weapon.
530
00:34:47,092 --> 00:34:50,425
But when I say you can't ask him,
I'm not being arbitrary.
531
00:34:50,495 --> 00:34:52,929
You see, the, uh,
Reverend Mather is in a coma.
532
00:34:52,998 --> 00:34:56,695
[Heart Monitor Beeping]
He's been unconscious ever since
his broadcast last night.
533
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:05,141
[Beeping Continues]
534
00:35:06,211 --> 00:35:08,907
Leona, honey, what are you doing?
You're gonna get yourself all filthy.
535
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:11,448
Come on, get outta there.
[Whining]
It's the things, Billy Bob.
536
00:35:11,516 --> 00:35:14,451
Yeah, I know, I know.
Who's supposed
to be watching Leona?
537
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:17,920
Now I'm gonna have
to get all new things.
[Sighs]
538
00:35:17,989 --> 00:35:20,958
You know, I-I-I already
have some lovely ideas.
539
00:35:21,026 --> 00:35:24,462
Well, that's real good, honey.
Let me talk to Herb at the bank
first, all right?
540
00:35:25,997 --> 00:35:28,646
Make sure she don't have
any credit cards.
[Man] Okay.
541
00:35:33,138 --> 00:35:35,606
Hello, gentlemen.
[Tubbs]
Hello.
542
00:35:38,477 --> 00:35:42,436
- Got any estimates?
- How about the whole shootin' match?
543
00:35:42,514 --> 00:35:44,539
How about $15 million?
544
00:35:46,985 --> 00:35:49,613
I hope Mather burns.
545
00:35:51,323 --> 00:35:54,656
[Sighs Deeply]
Well, he's a sick one.
546
00:35:54,726 --> 00:35:57,160
The success of my ministry's been
eatin' him up inside for years.
547
00:35:57,229 --> 00:35:59,993
You see, I figured he put
that girl up to that rape business.
548
00:36:00,065 --> 00:36:02,932
Hell, I can deal with that game
any day of the week.
549
00:36:03,935 --> 00:36:07,871
But my whole studio!
[Yells]
550
00:36:07,939 --> 00:36:10,737
By the time I get finished
with Mr. Mason "Almighty" Mather,
551
00:36:10,809 --> 00:36:15,712
the man will not be able to afford
a cardboard cross to hang himself on!
552
00:36:17,249 --> 00:36:19,240
What did he have to say, anyway?
553
00:36:21,086 --> 00:36:23,452
Not much.
554
00:36:23,522 --> 00:36:26,491
- He's in a coma.
- A coma? Oh, perfect!
555
00:36:26,558 --> 00:36:29,118
Yes, one of—
One of Mather's famous comas.
556
00:36:29,194 --> 00:36:31,822
They come on him once
about every six months.
557
00:36:33,098 --> 00:36:35,760
Got any theories on
how this happened?
558
00:36:37,369 --> 00:36:40,805
- Secular or divine theories?
- Secular.
559
00:36:40,872 --> 00:36:44,171
Like your insurance,
we don't cover acts of God.
560
00:36:44,196 --> 00:36:49,463
Well, my faithful flock thinks
that I have been judged from above.
561
00:36:49,488 --> 00:36:52,286
I'd say it was an overload,
562
00:36:52,311 --> 00:36:55,439
deliberately jumped in behind
the surge suppressors
and circuit breakers.
563
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,950
[Sighs]
What about my lady,
Detective Crockett?
564
00:37:00,025 --> 00:37:02,858
After all this, you still gonna
bring her up on drug charges?
565
00:37:02,928 --> 00:37:07,262
'Fraid so, Reverend.
D.A. Gonna follow through.
566
00:37:10,569 --> 00:37:13,902
Well, I certainly don't feel
like God's favorite these days.
567
00:37:13,972 --> 00:37:17,430
It's all Japanese.
The best that money can buy.
568
00:37:17,509 --> 00:37:19,568
And I got it before
the trade war started.
569
00:37:19,644 --> 00:37:22,112
You know what it's gonna
cost me to replace this gear?
570
00:37:23,702 --> 00:37:27,751
I, uh, found this in
the microwave transmitter shack.
571
00:37:27,819 --> 00:37:31,550
Damned near burnt to the ground.
Liverwurst on white.
572
00:37:34,226 --> 00:37:36,820
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute.
573
00:37:39,564 --> 00:37:42,761
This is a power transmission
schematic.
574
00:37:42,834 --> 00:37:44,802
Did you say liverwurst?
575
00:37:46,171 --> 00:37:49,937
My chief engineer on
the night shift, Carl Becker—
576
00:37:50,008 --> 00:37:52,772
He eats a liverwurst and onion
sandwich every night of the week.
577
00:37:53,817 --> 00:37:56,308
Get within 10 feet of the man,
your eyes start waterin'.
578
00:37:58,717 --> 00:38:00,708
So it was Becker.
579
00:38:03,889 --> 00:38:09,452
- He's not takin' this well.
- Betrayed by his own food.
580
00:38:10,128 --> 00:38:14,792
These two may be world-class hustlers,
but as criminals, bozo time.
581
00:38:19,537 --> 00:38:22,028
[Chattering]
582
00:38:26,478 --> 00:38:28,605
[Man #1]
That was a good time last night.
583
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,114
[Man #2]
You have a good time last night?
[Woman] Yeah.
584
00:38:31,182 --> 00:38:34,310
[Man #2]
I have vacations.
[Man #1] Take a vacation.
585
00:38:34,386 --> 00:38:37,878
Stick around here
and look at the girls?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
586
00:38:37,956 --> 00:38:42,893
Excuse me, gentlemen,
uh, which one of you is Becker?
Who wants to know?
587
00:38:42,961 --> 00:38:45,452
I'm Detective Crockett—
588
00:38:45,530 --> 00:38:47,464
Something I said?
589
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,803
I got him!
590
00:39:17,028 --> 00:39:20,520
[Crockett]
Where you goin', Becker?
We know you wired the station.
591
00:39:20,598 --> 00:39:23,692
We got your dinner
and the schematics.
That doesn't prove a thing!
592
00:39:25,036 --> 00:39:27,266
Let's throw this guy—
So I forgot to eat— big deal!
593
00:39:27,339 --> 00:39:30,240
You bet it's a big deal when
you're on double payrolls, huh?
594
00:39:30,308 --> 00:39:34,108
It was just a stunt. I lowered
the amperage so no one would get hurt.
595
00:39:34,179 --> 00:39:36,912
Were you the one that talked
the girl into yellin' rape?
596
00:39:36,937 --> 00:39:40,146
I just rewired the Walkman.
Mather did all the talkin'.
597
00:39:40,218 --> 00:39:43,210
He told her to stage it.
He said the Lord would protect her.
598
00:39:43,288 --> 00:39:47,554
Yeah, what do you think?
You think we'd eat each other alive,
and he'd come out the winner, huh?
599
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:49,650
I don't know.
Please!
600
00:39:56,568 --> 00:39:59,935
So why blow the station?
Huh?
601
00:40:00,005 --> 00:40:05,375
What happened? Mather flip out
because Proverb turned all his
trouble into contributions?
602
00:40:05,443 --> 00:40:07,673
[Panting]
I don't know, man.
603
00:40:07,746 --> 00:40:11,147
I just took his 20 grand.
Why don't you just ask him?
604
00:40:12,584 --> 00:40:15,075
That's a good idea.
Come on.
605
00:40:18,957 --> 00:40:20,891
He came out of it
about 20 minutes ago.
606
00:40:20,959 --> 00:40:24,827
He grabbed a syringe full of procaine,
and the doctor says if he puts
the whole volume in himself,
607
00:40:24,896 --> 00:40:27,421
it's gonna stop his heart!
608
00:40:27,499 --> 00:40:30,491
Oh, good. Good.
609
00:40:30,568 --> 00:40:33,731
He's flipped. He's done.
How can you tell that?
610
00:40:35,206 --> 00:40:39,973
- Hey, Reverend Mather!
- Back! Back, devils!
611
00:40:40,877 --> 00:40:44,005
I have been called to him.
I have been called to His bosom.
612
00:40:44,082 --> 00:40:46,744
Oh, Lord, I have
been called to him.
613
00:40:46,818 --> 00:40:49,286
Look, come on down
and we'll talk about it!
614
00:40:51,122 --> 00:40:54,353
I am through with this vale of tears.
615
00:40:55,316 --> 00:40:58,080
Uh, Reverend—
616
00:40:59,831 --> 00:41:04,200
I am no longer of this Earth,
I am above these mere mortals.
617
00:41:04,269 --> 00:41:09,764
Uh, Reverend, what do you say my partner
comes on up there and talks to ya for—
for just five minutes.
618
00:41:09,841 --> 00:41:11,775
Huh? Whaddya say?
619
00:41:11,843 --> 00:41:15,472
Take me from this evilness.
Take me from this wicked Earth.
620
00:41:17,982 --> 00:41:20,212
No, huh?
What do you think I oughta do,
621
00:41:20,285 --> 00:41:23,948
go down and call the fire department,
tell 'em we got a jumper?
No, we don't have time.
622
00:41:24,022 --> 00:41:27,958
They broadcast paramedics
and medevac as far as
Fort Lauderdale from there.
623
00:41:28,026 --> 00:41:30,187
That tower's got
10,000 watts of power.
624
00:41:30,261 --> 00:41:33,822
Somebody just keys a mic inside—
625
00:41:34,588 --> 00:41:39,065
- How do you know all that?
- Night school. There is life after Vice.
626
00:41:41,673 --> 00:41:44,233
- Rev!
- Hey, Reverend, look, uh,
627
00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:47,904
why don't you just come down
and we'll talk about it?
628
00:41:47,979 --> 00:41:52,279
Now-Now-Now, Reverend, look,
I-I know you got problems, sure, but—
629
00:41:52,350 --> 00:41:54,784
but I don't think we're lookin'
at any jail time here.
630
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,882
I have been called to him.
It's not my will.
631
00:42:00,959 --> 00:42:03,655
I have been called
to his bosom.
632
00:42:03,728 --> 00:42:08,756
Oh, ye land, thy will be done!
633
00:42:08,833 --> 00:42:12,462
[Electricity Crackling]
[Screaming]
634
00:42:13,972 --> 00:42:16,634
Oh, God.
635
00:42:23,381 --> 00:42:26,908
Good evening, friends.
It's real good to come
before you tonight.
636
00:42:26,985 --> 00:42:30,045
[Chuckles]
I haven't-haven't been on your
television sets the last few nights.
637
00:42:30,121 --> 00:42:32,783
I'm sure you all know the reason why.
638
00:42:32,857 --> 00:42:36,315
My, uh, my electronic ministry
was destroyed...
639
00:42:36,394 --> 00:42:38,385
by what some people
persist in saying...
640
00:42:38,463 --> 00:42:42,331
was an act of divine retribution
by an almighty Lord.
641
00:42:43,668 --> 00:42:46,432
Well, I don't know about that.
642
00:42:46,504 --> 00:42:50,964
I guess I'm just not smart enough
to know such profound things.
643
00:42:52,944 --> 00:42:55,037
I do know I've been laid low.
644
00:42:56,392 --> 00:42:59,259
I've never been so low
as you see me here tonight.
645
00:43:05,423 --> 00:43:10,087
I don't have much left,
but I have my health.
646
00:43:10,161 --> 00:43:13,597
And I have my darlin' Leona,
647
00:43:13,665 --> 00:43:18,659
who has been
a comfort and a joy to me,
648
00:43:18,736 --> 00:43:22,570
and I'd like to thank
the almighty God
for sendin' her to me.
649
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,236
[Inhales, Clears Throat]
We, uh—We're gonna have to
sell most everything we got—
650
00:43:27,312 --> 00:43:33,080
the houses, the cars, the boats—
to pay our debts and legal fees, and—
651
00:43:33,151 --> 00:43:37,781
and to be honest, folks,
to pay for Leona's drug
rehabilitation program.
652
00:43:39,023 --> 00:43:44,086
And you know what I say, folks?
I say good riddance to all that junk.
653
00:43:44,162 --> 00:43:46,960
Now, if I were you,
seein' me in this sorry state,
654
00:43:47,031 --> 00:43:48,965
I'm not sure I'd wanna
get behind this ministry.
655
00:43:49,033 --> 00:43:53,493
I'm not sure that this ministry
deserves your support, to be honest.
656
00:43:55,139 --> 00:43:57,539
That's up to you.
657
00:43:57,609 --> 00:44:00,908
Let's just leave it this way:
If you wanna send us
a few dollars, that's fine.
658
00:44:00,979 --> 00:44:04,005
And if you don't, we still
love you and bless you.
659
00:44:05,617 --> 00:44:10,953
Now, with the last few seconds
of this-this little message,
I'd like to hear Leona sing.
660
00:44:11,022 --> 00:44:12,877
How about you?
661
00:44:12,902 --> 00:44:15,083
Darlin', go ahead.
[Electric Piano]
662
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:18,219
[Sings]
I-I'm sorry, darlin'.
663
00:44:18,296 --> 00:44:20,230
Forgive me, folks, I-I forgot.
664
00:44:20,298 --> 00:44:24,257
We-We can only afford
the one microphone.
[Phone Ringing]
665
00:44:24,335 --> 00:44:26,303
Go ahead.
666
00:44:26,371 --> 00:44:29,431
[Electric Piano]
667
00:44:32,126 --> 00:44:41,374

( ♪ Together As One - Anita Morris ♪ )
668
00:45:06,044 --> 00:45:09,810
Thank you, Jesus, thank you.
669
00:45:18,406 --> 00:45:22,308
One good thing about TV.
You can always turn it off.
[Stops]
