Persecuted Page #3

A girl is dead, John.

They're saying that you're involved.

- They're saying that you killed her.

- I didn't kill anybody.

I woke up in the middle of nowhere.

They took all my stuff.

- My car, my wallet, my ID.

- ...possibly statutory rape,

child endangerment, drug possession

and leaving the scene of an accident.

Talk about a relapse.

And I don't know how the judge...

I'm coming home.

No! Don't do that.

They're watching for you.

Is it true that you're a

close friend of John Luther?

Do you care to comment about

the charges he's currently facing?

John Luther is a fine man. This is an

absolute tragedy that's happened to him.

If this ever goes to trial, will you

be pushing for a lenient sentence?

Well, my heart goes out to his family

but, regardless of who he may or may

not have had relationships with,

I just want to see justice served.

Senator, Senator, Senator,

one more comment on...

You can't clean the world

with soiled hands.

One more question, just one...

I didn't know where else to go.

I don't know what you've heard.

I didn't hurt anybody.

I know you didn't, John.

Come with me.

The victim is 16-year-old

Mellita Evans, a runaway,

who was tragically found

dead early this morning.

The suspect in the alleged rape

and murder of the young girl:

John Luther, renowned

evangelist and CEO...

Did I do this to myself?

It was just a matter of time, John.

You're just a pawn in

a much bigger game.

It's about a powerful

political movement

based upon deceit.

What's that got to do with me?

John, by the grace of God,

you were able to bring yourself up

from the depths of degradation

and form a wonderful ministry

that has spoken the truth

to millions of people.

Now, those who believe in

nothing must bring you down,

must destroy you to

achieve their own goals.

Look, you're going to be charged

with first degree murder.

Now you have two choices.

You can turn yourself in, throw yourself

on the mercy of the authorities

and hope for the best.

I think you know how

that will turn out.

So there's a second alternative,

one that you might

not like very much.

It doesn't matter what I like.

I'm going to prove the truth.

Then do that.

Godspeed.

Well obviously,

we're all in shock here.

The accusations are unbelievable

but, well, you tell me.

Where do we go from here?

Well, what it is, is a tragedy.

And the moment he comes in,

I want to get him help.

I want to see him restored

just as, I'm sure, you do.

But sometimes, out of the ashes

of tragedy comes opportunity.

How long have you

worked with John, now?

14 years.

14 years?

Ah, well, to save this organization

is going to take some
