There was an attack outside Adjumani.
What's she saying?
She's asking what she did wrong.
You didn't do nothing wrong.
She wants to know if you are the preacher.
I'm the preacher.
You tell her she's going to be okay.
- Where you going? - Adjumani.
Sam. Sam, please wait.
No, I ain't waiting around no more for this to happen.
See what waiting gets you?
Shit.
Marco, no! Marco!
Don't fire that thing!
There's kids behind the truck!
RPG!
You okay?
It's okay.
Hey, buddy.
Ain't you gonna say nothing?
I'll see you later.
I see you have a bodyguard.
Guess I do.
Take care of things while I'm gone, okay?
- I will, Preacher. - All right.
You can't come with me, buddy.
Come on.
In your actions, you give service to the Lord.
He's not interested in your good intentions. Your good thoughts.
No, He wants your backs. Your hands. Your sweat.
Your blood to pour into the foundation that will build up His kingdom!
- Amen! - Amen!
- What do you think? - I think it's great.
Started day care last month.
Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 2:00.
Sundays after first worship for a few hours if anybody needs it.
I'm thinking maybe we could set up a playground...
some swings, some things that kids can climb on.
No, we can't build any more. Not for a while.
You said Sundays has been full.
Yeah, it's been full, but that doesn't mean people are giving money like today.
You know, economy's slow, construction business is slow. Times is tight.
- Be good for them kids, Lynn. - Yeah, well, they got the playground
over at Cairnbrook,
and they can play at the school on the weekends if they want.
No, no. No, I'm talking about Africa.
I heard you built yourself one hell of a church over there in Central City.
Yeah, we set it up pretty good, but we still got a ways to go.
Anyways, Bill. The reason I called you...
the reason I'm here is because
I wanted to talk to you... a little bit more about our Outreach Programme.
You know, the thing we're doing over there in Africa.
Of course, I know about what you're doing over there.
I mean, hell of a thing, Sam, helping out those kids. God bless you.
Thank you, Bill. I appreciate that. I do.
But I gotta be straight with you. We are hurting for money.
Now if we had the support of good people like yourselves,
sure would help things go a lot smoother over there.
Sam, everybody around here is feeling the pinch.
I hear that, Bill. I do.
But if you once could just see what it is we're doing down there.
I mean, it's about more than the money. And I ain't asking for a lot.
- How much you looking for? - $5,000 or something.
Jesus Christ, Sam. $5,000?
Come on, Bill. That ain't hardly gonna put you out there
- on the street now, is it? - Well, that's not the point.
And that's gonna keep them doors open for another six months.
Look around here.
People are losing their jobs left and right.
It's tough to go asking for $5,000 for a bunch
of African children halfway around the world.
Bill, I understand that - we got problems right here,
- but this is a different kind of problem. - Different, how?
That orphanage is the last hope these kids got.
Now with that kind of money, we can feed them kids, house them kids.
Buy me a new generator which is sorely needed.
I gotta tell you, Bill, you would be saving a hell of a lot of lives.
All right. Here's what I'll do. I'll see what I can come up with.
- Okay. - All right.
- Okay, Bill. - Okay.
Hey, why don't you bring the family over next Sunday.
We're having a little bit of a barbeque.
Well, come on in. You all must be the Childers, welcome.
I am Shannon, Bill's ball and chain.
- I'm Lynn. This here is Paige. - Good to meet you.
There he is. Hey, Sam, glad you all could make it.
- Oh, who's this lovely young lady? - Paige.
I'll tell you what. You come on in here and you meet some people.
This is the gentleman I was telling you about.
Sam. There you are.
A little something for the kids out there. What we were talking about earlier.
- Thank you. - Yeah, don't mention it.
- Why are we leaving so soon? - Get in the car.
- Is everything all right? - Thank you.
What is wrong?
Son of a bitch is crying poor-mouth to me,
and he's living in a damn Taj Mahal.
I asked him for $5,000 to feed a bunch of motherless babies.
And you know what he gave me? 150 bucks.
He spent more than that on salsa for his party.
We are locked in a fight with the devil.
Now I can't do this on my own. I can't take the pressure
and the pain and the loneliness.
I need each one of you to back me up.
And I need you all to bring your game. And the Lord will raise you up!
- Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
If we have to cut back, then the devil has won.
And we don'! Want the devil to win, do we?
No!
I'm sorry, but 2,500 is the best I can do for those guns.
Tell you what. Throw in the car for five.
Almost there.
Hands over eyes. Micrah, no cheating. No cheating.
Just a little bit more. Okay, stop.
Open your eyes.
Yeah!
Come on.
Thank you.
It's all right.
It's good to see the kids laugh.
Amen to that.
Listen, I would like to add a few more guards to you during the day.
Why?
Because Kony's offering money for your head.
- Offering money for my head? - Yes.
I must be doing something right.
Don't worry about it. I can take care of myself.
He said anything yet?
All we know is that him and his brother were taken by the rebels.
- Where's his brother? - We don't know.
You don't want to go play with the other kids?
You know, sometimes it helps to tell somebody
what you got locked up inside.
I've done a lot of things that I ain't proud of.
Hurt a lot of people.
Truth is, helping you kids is about the only good thing I've ever done in this life.
But I'm scared that... one day I'll...
close my eyes to all this and make it somebody else's problem.
You got no idea what I'm saying, do you?
Who's that?
It's our leader.
John Garang?
So, they call you the White Preacher. Is this what I should call you?
You can call me Sam.
I hear what you are doing for the children of Sudan and I'm grateful.
I just wanted to see it myself.
Well, this is it. We've got a couple hundred with us here.
Feed another thousand a day, nearby villages.
And you do this. And yet these are not your people.
The struggle is not your own.
Yeah, well, I've kinda made it my struggle.
Till someone else starts fighting the fight for these children,
then I'm the one that's gonna do it.
- You're just stubborn, aren't you? - As a mule.
I wish I had more men like you.
There are peace talks scheduled for the end of August in Russia.
I would like you to come as my guest.
You know, talking about peace in a room somewhere is a waste of time, if you ask me.
You gotta go out and make it.
You speak what is on your mind. I heard this about you.
Really? What else did you hear?
Well, I heard that you don't suffer fools.
And that you like a good fight.
I heard you were taller.
So you see, we're not so dissimilar, Sam.
You made the fight for these children your struggle.
And I made the freedom of Southern Sudan my struggle.
But part of my struggle happens in these rooms.
I hear you.
So you think maybe we could convince you to come to peace talks one day?
Maybe.
Should be coming out soon.
Anybody see anything?
Marco! See something?
Nothing. Nothing.
I don't know.
Should be around here. You should pull over.
- The intel was very clear. - I don't see nothing.
This is it.
No, wait, wait. There. I got two.
Right there.
Come on. Come on, it's okay. Come on.
Okay, they ain't moving.
AJ, Nineteen. Go get those kids.
Deng, call camp, tell them we're coming back with two, possibly injured.
Be careful.
What'd he say?
What's he saying?
AJ is dead!
Tell him don't move. Okay?
Don't move!
Stay down!
Ask him if he saw the shooter.
Did not see him.
- You see him? - He's on the ridge. Within the rocks.
Can you reach the Mauser?
When I say go, I want you to put all you got into those rocks up there.
Ready?
Go!
- Hello? - Sam, it's me, man.
Donnie.
Is everybody okay?
Yeah, everybody's great, man. I'm just calling to say hey, that's all.
Hey.
How are the girls?
Oh, they're doing great, man.
Yeah, Paige made us dinner the other night.
Chocolate chip pancakes.
By herself, huh?
Yeah. All by herself. I mean, I helped her with the stove.
But, you know, she mixed it all up.
They were real good, too.
So, how's it going over there?
It's going fine, buddy.
Yeah?
Man, that must be wild. I'd like to come over there sometime, check it out, you know?
Get the hell out of here for a while.
That'd be nice. See what that's like.
Sounds good.
- Hey, Sam, can I ask you a question? - Yeah.
You really think... God's gonna forgive us for everything we done?
Is that all the soy milks we got?
They talk about you in the camps. The children.
They say there is a white preacher who hunts the IRA.
This place does not need more guns, Mr Childers.
Just trying to help these people. Same as you.
Don't delude yourself. You're a mercenary... not a humanitarian.
I got 200 kids that are gonna sleep safe tonight.
Right or wrong, that's all the reason I need.
That's how it always starts.
With people thinking that they're killing for the right reasons.
Why don't you fight the evil in this place your way,
and let me fight it mine.
They say you're doing good, that you have special powers.
You're protected by angels and can't be killed by bullets.
They said the same thing about Kony in the beginning, too.
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Preacher.
Let's get them out of here.
Deng, tell them that we're not going to hurt them.
Okay, in the light. That's good. That's good.
We don't have room for all of them.
- How many can we fit in the truck? - Twenty, 25 maximum.
What have we got? Like 40?
Okay. All right. You, you go.
You. You go. You, go.
What are you doing?
You. You go. You. You. We gotta take as many as we can.
We gotta take the little ones, and the ones that are sick,
we'll come back for the other ones later.
Marco, Adeem. Take these ones here on the truck.
- We should call for backup. - No, we got no time. We take the ones we can.
You, you go. Yeah, you go. Go, go. All right. You, stay, stay.
Okay, tell the other ones we'll come back later.
Tell them.
Don't come back until you see my face.
Wait!
- Hey, hey! - Get in here.
Tell them to hide. Don't move till they see my face.
Deng! Get in. I don't have no more space.
I'll be back in two hours. Two hours.
Two hours we'll be back.
Marley, gas it up, we're leaving in five.
Sudan? What are you doing over there?
Hey, sorry, man. Sorry.
Route 16 was all backed up.
Welcome home, buddy. Yeah.
You must be wiped out, man. Yeah, I'm sorry, 16 was a fucking mess.
All these assholes out driving at night...
Shut up. Shut up. Open your eyes, wake up.
Wake up! Shut up!
You call yourselves the children of God? Well, you ain't.
No, y'all just sheep following Him. Deaf, dumb and blind.
But God don't want sheep!
Praise the Lord.
He wants wolves to fight his fight!
Amen! Amen!
Men and women with teeth to tear at the evil that is out there!
The Lord's prophets are not men in fancy clothes.
They're warrior prophets!
They're men of conviction, who ain't afraid to pick up a sword and use it! Why not?
Soldiers willing to fight against His enemies, wherever they may be!
Soldiers willing to fight till their last breath.
- Hallelujah! Wake up! - Hallelujah!
I want you to look at this.
- It's a 10-year-old boy. - Sam...
- He had his arms cut off. Just hacked off. - This is not necessary. It's not necessary.
Could you come back in a minute, please?
- Please. - Look, I only got one truck over there.
I need the money to get another vehicle. Now I found this one in Kampala that I can get.
We already took out a second on your home.
I got a real good deal, I just need you to get...
Sam, we know what you're doing over there in Africa, and we support it.
But I'm telling you, we cannot give you any more money.
- You hear what I'm saying? Look at this. - Sam, you're completely leveraged.
- See this? - Yes.
This girl watched her family being killed and then they set her on fire.
This is not necessary.
No, no, no. John, just look at... John. John, look at the picture.
- I do see it. I'm looking, Sam. - Look at the picture.
Now, I ain't asking for money for a hot tub or a vacation
- or something like that. - Company policy says...
I'm asking for an extra vehicle so that I can save some children, John, okay?
- Do you understand that? - I do, but I'm telling you...
But nothing!
But nothing! Now, I need you to get in your little book there
and do whatever it is you gotta do to get me that car!
- Sam, you need to calm down. - Don't tell me to calm down!
Mary Strauss and them's having dinner at the Chimney.
- Who's her date? - Tony Wilkes.
I thought Tony Wilkes was going with Patty Hobbes' daughter?
They broke up last month.
Sudanese opposition leader.
John Garang has been killed in a helicopter crash.
That's according to a statement released by the Sudanese government in Khartoum.
Garang was hailed as a peacemaker in Sudan
and was instrumental in ending the 21-year civil war
that has ravaged that country.
Dad.
Six of Garang's associates and seven others also died in the crash
which is being blamed on bad weather.
What do you think about us getting a limo for next weekend?
Wouldn't be too expensive since there'd be six of us.
What do you think?
Hello? Earth to Dad.
Honey. You okay?
Oh, heck, I'll just take you all.
We ain't cramming in the back of your Caprice.
Fit in there easy. You're little.
We got dresses, Donnie. We'll get all wrinkled.
Plus it smells in there.
Yeah, I'll squirt some perfume You'll be all right.
Dad, what do you think? Can we get a limo?
Dad, please, Patty and them's getting one.
We could probably get a deal through one of Tom Hickey's boys.
Wouldn't cost too much between six of them.
You ain't spending money on no freaking limousine.
- But, Dad... - What the hell did I just say?
Honey, we're just talking about it.
Yeah, well there's too much talk in this house.
I got mouths to feed.
You're talking about pissing money away on a limo.
But it's my formal, Dad.
I don't give a shit what it is! Okay? You ain't getting no limo.
You love them black babies more than you love me!
- Watch your mouth, little girl! Before I slap it... - Hey, hey, hey.
- What the fuck are you doing? - Take it easy, bro.
Don't tell me to take it easy in my own fucking house!
All right? Now that ain't your wife.
And this ain't your family.
You ain't nothing but a stray fucking dog around here.
You don't mean that.
Like hell I don't. Now get the fuck out of here.
Before I put your face through that fucking wall.
You that preacher, ain't ya?
Yeah, you him.
I seen your face in the papers a few years ago.
- Yeah. - Told you this is the guy.
God damn, I knew it.
The papers were talking about you as some kind of African Rambo or something, right?
If you don't mind, I'd just like to sit here right now.
You still helping them niggers over there'?
See, the way I figure it,
the reason you're so interested in helping them porch monkeys
is probably 'cause you throwing it in them nigger bitches, ain't ya?
You're gonna sit there and you're gonna let me talk.
I've always believed in you.
Trusted you, trusted the Lord.
And do what I could so you could follow your dream.
But I ain't willing to lose you to what you're doing over there.
Ain't just gonna sit back and watch you get swallowed up by it.
Now I know that you're all them kids got over there, but you're all we got, too.
Paige needs her father.
Damn it, Sam, I need my husband.
Shit, man, where the hell are you?
This is Sam. Leave a message.
It's Donnie, man.
Shit, I was hoping you'd be there.
I wanna talk to you.
It's no big deal.
I was just thinking about... when we were kids.
And in the summertime we'd go over to that quarry near Montrose.
Remember that?
Yeah, we'd bring our ropes.
Or go swimming.
Climb around on the walls all day.
I wish you was here to pray with me.
A lot of youse want me to stand up here and make some sense out of this.
Tell you there's some meaning.
You know, maybe there's a purpose for what happened to Donnie.
That's why you came here today.
You want me to tell you that God has His plan for all of us and...
when it's time to call us on home...
He's just gonna do it.
That's what you want me to say.
But that's not what I'm gonna tell you.
Mom, who are those men?
I don't know.
- Hey, does this go? - No, I don't think that goes.
- Excuse me. What are you doing? - Loading up.
Sam! What is going on? What is...
- This is the last of the tools. - Where they taking our stuff?
Ain't ours no more.
You best go through it and make sure they ain't taking anything that belongs...
Hey, don't you touch that.
Baby, I know you're hurting.
I know you're angry, but we need to talk about this.
It's all done. So save your breath.
You sold the business?
- I need a new truck for the orphanage. - A new truck?
You sold the business for a new truck? That was our future, Paige's future, Sam.
Everything that we have has gone to those children.
There's a point, baby, where there ain't no more to give.
What's the combination?
Paige's birthday.
You don't know it, do you?
You don't remember your own daughter's birthday.
You fight for everyone, but us.
That's all we got.
You can make it up with the ministry.
What ministry, Sam?
They see how far gone you are, they see what you've become.
- You need to get quiet with the Lord. - No, you know what? I'm done with the Lord.
No, don't you say that. Don't you turn your back on Him.
He turned His back on me.
Where is He, Lynn? Where is the Lord now?
'Cause I don't see Him around here. Did He save Donnie?
Did He save those kids? I gotta save those kids.
Please don't leave.
Welcome back.
Don't reverse. Don't reverse.
- They are going to kill us. - No, they won't.
If you move, they're gonna shoot.
Calm down, I'm going to go talk to them.
It's okay, we're a relief convoy. Relief convoy.
We've only got medical supplies, we're non-military.
The men no longer trust you to lead them into battle.
They say you have a wish to die.
I'm worried about my friend.
I don't need your help.
Yeah?
I remember my parents when I sleep.
My father was big like you.
They shot him.
The rebels gave me a club.
And told me...
if I did not kill my mother,
they'll shoot my brother and me.
And so I killed my mother.
If we allow ourselves to be full of hate...
then they've won.
We must not let them take our hearts.
Baby, can you get that?
- Hello? - Bug? You there?
Dad?
Yeah, it's me.
Are you okay?
I'm thinking of a tree.
You said tree, I'm thinking of a knee.
You said knee. ..
I'm thinking of a bee.
I love you, bug.
I love you too, Dad.

Sam.
- What's going on? - An IRA unit has been spotted.
They are moving north across the border.
What are we waiting for then? Gotta go.
The village outside of Akot says an IRA caravan came through an hour ago.
Come on.
- Come on. Come on. - Push in, everybody.
There you go.
Sam. We cannot make them work.
This is the only one we have.
Okay, watch your hand.
Keep your eyes peeled. That road back there might still be hot.
So, be ready.
What about you, Preacher?
We're staying.
Go on, get out of here.
For me to sit here and give all kinds of excuses to make it right,
I can't do.
But what I wanna ask everyone out there,
everyone that has a child, everyone that has a brother or a sister,
if your child or your family member was abducted today,
if a madman came in, a terrorist came in,
abducted your family member, or your child,
and if I said to you, "I can bring your child home,"
does it matter how i bring him home?
