The Lucky Man

Synopsis: Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

REV JONES:

Oh, son of a b*tch!

REV JONES:
Yeah, that's

me, Johnny Jones Junior.

As you can see, I love blow.

That big fat rail that just went

up my nose... it's just the

first of many for the day.

Make no mistake, coke is both a

requirement and a sin to boot.

But, I know right from wrong. No

one is perfect... especially me.

[SPANISH GUITAR MUSIC]

[MOANING SOUND EFFECT]

That's Rebecca, my hot Latina

girlfriend. Don't let the blonde

hair fool ya.. she's one

hot little chili pepper.

She's mi hermosa, mi amor.

(my girlfriend, my love)

Most importantly, she's mi vida.

Now in English that basically

means she's the love of my life,

the most beautiful

woman in the world.

We've known each other

since grade school.

We've been

inseparable ever since.

I guess you could say we

are co-dependent. All I know for

sure is, I'd die without her.

She's a little materialistic...

but most of the beautiful ones

are, right?

JOHNNY JONES SR:

AAAAAA... MOTHER F***ER!

That's my old man,

Johnny Jones Senior.

A real life

walkin' "talkin" satan.

Evilest man who ever

walked the Earth.

I often thought I saw horns

coming out of his head.

I have no idea why mom

stayed with him all

those years... I suspect

she was trapped by fear.

MOTHER F***ER!

My sweet mother,

the salt of the Earth.

Not a mean bone in her body...

the most spiritual God

fearin' woman you'd ever meet.

I guess that's where I got my

calling... every Wednesday and

Sunday you could count on it,

we'd be sittin' in church.

Let me rewind this

back to the beginning...

[REWINDING SOUND EFFECTS]

Now that you know a

little about me... let's go back

to where Rebecca and I

decided to take a little trip

Westward...

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE,

LET IT SHINE:

LET IT SHINE, LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

LET IT SHINE,

LET IT SHINE, LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE,

I'M GONNA LET IT SHINE

LET IT SHINE,

LET IT SHINE...-

SNAKE MAN:

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Can I get an Amen?

CONGREGATION:

Amen!

The Lord says let the sick be

healed, let the poor be rich

and let the broken

hearted be renewed.

Now I say to you

today, God's people,

if you are among the sick, if

you are among the poor, if you

are among the broken spirited I

want you to rise up and come on

down to the front with me.

Rise up I say in the name of the

Lord. Come on,

Jesus wants to heal you.

Be gone devil of illness he says

to one. May your cup runneth

over he says to another.

Be healed all of God's children.

Be healed and

renewed in Jesus name I say.

God is entering you now

brothers and sisters,

can you feel it?

CONGREGATION:

Yes!

The devil

wants you to resist it, don't

you let him. Let the fire of the

Lord God almighty cover you in

the blood of

Jesus Christ the Messiah...

CONGREGATION:

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Can you feel the healing that's

taking place in this

church today? I can feel it.

Sister, do you believe?

I want you to feel fire of the

Lord Jesus Christ blazing

through my hands...

Lord Almighty release

this woman from the bondage of

her chair. Put the fire of Jesus

in her legs. Lord hear me.

Heal this woman.

Thank you Lord, for all...

Now sister, trust in the Lord.

Everything will be okay, c'mon.

Lord has you.

Don't be afraid. That's right.

- Oh Lord,

- Witness brothers and sisters.

LADY IN WHEELCHAIR:

I'm walking... I'm walking.

Reverend,

you've healed me.

Oh, no ma'am, no ma'am,

God has saved you.

I'm merely an

instrument for the holy spirit.

A servant of the

Lord almighty. Praise God.

Did you see that God's people?

Amen!

Did you see the miracle of God's

glory that just took place right

in front of your very eyes?

Thank you Jesus. Praise God.

Praise be to God.

The healing hands of

the Lord radiate through me.

He strengthens the weak and

makes his people the meek.

He delivers us from all evil. He

is the rock, the rock of ages.

Praise be to Jesus.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.

Now I never like to close

without givin' thanks to the

Lord first, so as the offering

baskets are making their way

around today I want to encourage

each and every one of you to

give, and give again, and then

give just a little more until

your heart is satisfied because

remember what the Lord says,

the seed you sew today will be

returned to you 100 fold.

Blessed are the meek

who put their faith in the Lord.

Can I get an Hallelujah?

Hallelujah!

Let us pray...

May the love of God always

be above you, to overshadow

you, beneath you to uplift you,

before you to guide you, and

behind you to protect you... In

Jesus name, our savior, to whom

glory be now and

forever more, I say Amen.

Go in peace

brothers and sisters.

[MELANCHOLY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Oh... Son of a b*tch!

REBECCA:
Hey babe, how much do

you think we made off with?

Why you gotta say it like that?

You know that's how the Lord

provides, baby.

Looks like a couple of grand.

Should be enough to last us a

few weeks.

Why don't you count it yourself
