Four?
They're crazy.
I should just get up and
walk out right now.
Okay, calm down.
Honestly, we put a solid offer
on the table.
My clients are selling for four,
leaving half a million in equity.
Now, this is the deal.
Oh, No.
Richard, please sit down.
I'll show this to my clients.
Don't know if it'll fly,
but we'll see.
Hey, how's it going in there?
Anything I can do?
Listen, when Bill and Norah leave,
I want you to pop your head
into the conference room
and I want you to say
these exact words:
"Your clients are leaving."
Sure. Anything else I need to know?
No, not yet.
Hmm.
Well?
3.5 million.
We already came down
from four.
We'll only break even if we
agree to three and a half.
Do you trust me?
We know you're working as hard
as you can to close this deal,
but that richard guy...
is taking advantage of us.
I know.
That's why if you trust me,
I want you to do exactly
what I'm about to tell you.
In 10 minutes, I need for you to get up,
walk out of this office
past the conference room,
and out the door.
I don't understand.
We're in the middle of negotiating.
Trust me.
Haven't you ever done something
without knowing the outcome?
Wait 10 minutes,
and go home.
The next time you'll hear from me
will be me calling to congratulate you.
Do you understand now?
Not really.
Bill, let's just do
what she asks.
'Kay. 10 minutes.
Let me call you back.
Well?
Do we have a deal or not?
What is it with you and this paper?
Can't you speak? What did they say?
Do we have a deal or not?
You're crazy!
No, they're crazy!
4.2 million?
What is going on here?
We made a fair offer and
they're going up in price?
They're tired of this back and forth,
push and pull.
And they said if you do not
agree to it within 10 minutes,
the deal's off the table.
I don't believe you.
3.7 million is a lot of money.
I mean, who's gonna
walk away from that?
Your clients?
They're leaving?
They're walking out
of the building right now.
Well, I guess that means
the deal's off.
What? After all the time
and work I put into this?
Go. Go get them.
As I explained, they told me
if I didn't come back,
they were walking.
Meghan, your clients
are leaving.
Okay, four.
Four, and we go to close today.
Now would you please go
get them before they leave?
Ah, tell my clients I'll send the
paperwork over this afternoon.
Okay.
It's been a pleasure.
Thank you.
And congratulations on a great buy!
I just closed the Smith's deal.
Good. It's about time.
No, I don't like any of it.
Redo it.
You, come with me.
There's some people I want
you to meet in my office.
Meghan, I would like to introduce you
to the Yakamoto brothers,
Kana and hoshi Yakamoto.
Gentlemen, this is Meghan Doherty.
Konichiwa.
Konichiwa.
She will be heading your casino project.
Mr. Whitaker, we have
a lot riding on our deal.
I understand.
Meghan is my top investment
banker here at the firm.
We've revised our business plan
to include photos of the
extended land in the Mojave.
I have been anticipating these
plans for a few weeks now.
And for our next meeting, we'll
have an outline identifying
your potential profit, risks, and
facts underlining your investment.
Now, that was different.
To say the least.
You have your work
cut out for you now.
So, we all set for tonight?
The decorations are up.
The caterers start serving at 8:00.
Everyone knows to be
at your house by 7:00
or die by the hands
of Meghan Doherty.
And Valentina knows nothing?
She thinks we're doing sushi.
I hear you're trying to close on the
Yakamoto brothers' casino thing, Randolph.
You think so, Al?
Well, we'll see about that.
You know, you've been trying to
squeeze our company for years now,
(and) it's not going to work.
We're not giving in.
I can't wait to show off
my new outfit tonight.
Like always.
Are you implying
that I'm self-centered?
Mmm, that's right.
The same self-centered friend
who stuck my neck out
to get you a job at the firm.
How quickly we forget!
[Al] Just remember one thing,
Randolph.
I am in first position on
Eden Graham's Mojave land,
and I will foreclose on Saturday,
and when I do, well, the Yakamotos
will be knocking on my door.
Oh, it's the office.
Hold on. will you?
Hello?
Meghan, I need you here tonight.
Tonight?
It's Valentina's party.
Sir, all right.
I'll be there by 6:00 pm, sir.
I'll have time to stop
by Jason's at Beverly Hills
before I meet with Whitaker.
I wanna get Valentina
something special.
So, what's new at the firm?
I closed a big one today.
You did? Congratulations!
How's your car dealership going?
Dealership is great.
That's gorgeous!
I have to get a
gift for my friend.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Any interesting opportunities
you can throw my way?
Yeah. One of my clients is thinking of
opening a chain of automatic car washes.
Mmm, that sounds interesting.
I know I did real well investing in the last
exotic car business you got me turned on to.
So how much?
For you, 8000.
That's retail.
What's my price?
Okay, I'll do 7500.
Okay. 7000.
But that's it.
Deal.
Uh, how much for that one?
That one, normally it's 2000, but...
for you, 1500.
Could you box that also?
Sure.
So how's the Ferrari?
Fast.
You know, that's the only car
I don't have in my dealership,
so if you ever wanna get that thing
off your hands, let me know.
Let go of my pride and joy?
Never.
Jason, you know better
than to ask me that.
[Whitaker] The Mojave Desert.
5,000 acres of the Mojave Desert.
We are going to build
a casino resort,
including an 18-Hole golf course
and a country club.
So what's the catch?
Well, Graham Ministries
owns 1,000 acres...
right in the middle of it.
The Yakamoto brothers
are going to need...
this one piece of land
to build their vision upon.
Now, this land is already
in foreclosure.
But the owner,
Mr. Eden Graham,
is not cooperating.
And so,
this land is going to
go to auction next Saturday.
But that doesn't give us much time.
I know.
This guy absolutely refuses to sell.
Therefore I need you
to drive up to the Mojave,
and meet with
Mr. Eden Graham.
Meghan,
you close on this deal,
and we'll enjoy
a celebration together.
My dream will be realized...
and guess who will be
in line to fill my shoes?
Hi!
Valentina.
I'm sorry I missed
your party.
No, you didn't miss it.
You're here now,
And this is
how it should be,
three best friends,
enjoying each other.
I knew when Whitaker called you
to his office it would be a late night.
We all knew that.
We decided to wait for you.
Guys, you are so sweet.
Oh, I'm acting as if
it's my birthday.
Here.
Oh my, look at this bracelet!
It's so beautiful!
- Okay, open.
- Okay!
Oh!
Do you like it?
I love it!
Oh, thank you.
Look what Adam got me.
That is gorgeous!
You must have spent your
entire paycheck on that.
Not all of it,
but, yeah, most.
Hi, mom.
I finally caught you.
Let me talk to her.
Mom, I'm gonna give you
a call back tomorrow.
Wait, you were supposed to
call me back yesterday.
Good night. I love you.
She has the worst timing.
I have the biggest deal of my life
and she calls to chit chat?
Don't be selfish.
It's your mother.
You can't take two minutes
of your time?
Two minutes will
turn into two hours.
I just have so much on my mind
with the Yakamoto account.
Meghan, ever since
I've known you,
all you care about is money
and your career.
What's going to happen
when you turn 60?
You're going to wish that someone
would call and visit you.
And guess what? You are
going to be all alone.
You are just as old as I am.
But I love my family.
And one day I plan to settle down
and have children of my own,
so that when I get old
I'll have someone to love me.
Look at you!
You don't date and you have no
friends outside of Adam and me.
It's late,
and I have to prepare for the biggest
presentation of my life tomorrow.
That's right.
Big presentation.
I'll go get my computer
so I can assist.
You know that I'm right.
Let me google "God's Country"
and see what we're working with.
What do we have here?
God's Country is not
just a getaway.
it's a safe haven for
those who need a break.
In the middle of 1000 acres,
we offer the best hiking, camping
run by minister Eden Graham,
second generation...
Good night.
Stupid shoe!
Have they made it?
Meghan, where are you?
Have they made it?
They are here now.
Okay.
And Mr. Whitaker is walking them
into the conference room.
Why didn't you wake me?
I've been calling you all morning.
I had Research put something
together. It's on your desk.
Okay. Offer them some coffee, tea,
something to drink. Stall them.
You want me to go
into the conference room?
But I...
I don't have time for these questions!
Just do it!
Okay.
Who do you like better?
You like Matsui or Ichiro?
Meghan is a couple
of minutes away.
She asked me to offer you
something to drink.
Coffee? Water? Tea?
Tell Ms. Daugherty we prefer
her presence instead of drinks.
But since you're here,
bring all of the above.
Yes, sir.
Anyway, my favorite player
is Hideki Matsui.
They're waiting for you.
I stalled as long as I could.
Here's your material.
Oh, uh.
Gentlemen.
Thank you for coming.
Shall we get down
to business?
We've identified your prospectus and have
done an evaluation over the next 10 years,
keeping in mind the growth rate
of the surrounding Mojave area.
Now, we see your casino not only
as gambling for adults,
and we believe you have
an entertainment portal.
We see the profit potential
at a capture of 40% lift annually.
Your investment over
the course of 10 years
will yield an annual $2 million,
which by year eight, from
your profit, your interest,
and neighboring leases, your
investment will be paid back in full.
We at Whitaker & Associates would love
to team up with the Yakamoto Brothers
to turn the Mojave Desert into one
of America's most impressive casinos.
Whitaker & Associates is the most
qualified financial organization
to bring your astonishing
vision to reality.
Thank you.
Excellent.
Very good job.
Arigato.
I'm sorry. Could someone
translate for me?
I just complimented Ms. Doherty
on her presentation.
Excellent.
Did you see the look
on their faces?
I did.
We really won them over.
You know, Meghan, I don't
hand out compliments too easily,
but you were outstanding
today and I mean that.
But before we start
blowing our own horn here,
we still have some
unfinished business.
Come on, walk with me to my car.
All right, let's not
waste any time with this.
I want you to get up there
as early as tomorrow.
Have you assistant call ahead
and set up a meeting with Graham.
And Meghan,
do not pull any punches
with this guy.
Let him know
that you mean business,
that nothing,
and I mean nothing,
will stop Whitaker & Associates
from closing that deal.
'Cause you know what?
I can feel it, God is on our side.
So you close this.
Hello?
I thought maybe I'd have a chance
to speak with my only child.
but she's always too busy
for her only mother.
Sorry, mother.
I've been swamped at work.
Well, it must be going well.
I received another
check in the mail.
What are you doing?
Oh, every week the church hands out
food donations to senior citizens.
So I'm headed on over
to the retirement home,
which is where I'll be
living in a couple of years.
Mom, come on. You
make me feel so guilty.
Well, you should.
What has it been, almost six
months since I've seen you?
You know what this coming
weekend is.
No, ma, I don't know what
this coming weekend is.
It's my birthday, Meghan.
Listen,
Pasadena is not that far from Los Angeles,
so I don't wanna hear any excuses,
and I don't want another check from you.
I wanna be with my daughter on my birthday.
Okay, ma, I will be with
you on your birthday.
I promise.
Cross your heart?
Cross my heart.
Ha! Oh, I'm so excited
I'm gonna see you finally!
I love you.
Love you too, mom.
All right.
Hello, Adam.
Meghan, hey.
Um, Mr. Whitaker asked me
to get you on the phone.
Oh, no.
- Here he comes.
- Get Meghan on the phone yet?
Wait, what does he wanna talk about?
- Yes, sir.
- Adam, wait...
Hello, Meghan. You're
heading up there, I hope.
Yes, sir. I should be there
in a couple of hours.
Good. Now listen to me.
The Yakamoto brothers are
scheduled to fly back into town
this Thursday
to finalize everything.
I'm counting on you. I am depending
on you to take care of this.
- Yes, sir, I plan to.
- Don't plan. Do it.
Call me the second you have
your meeting with Graham.
Do not leave his side without
signing those documents.
Bye.
"Close it."
I'll close it.
I'll show him.
I'll make partner
and force him to retire.
Where am I?
Hey, sir.
Finally.
Do you know where God's Country is?
You need to go about 10 miles down the road,
and make a right at the fork in the road.
Make sure that you make the next right, not left.
When you turn down that road,
go straight, you'll run right into it.
Got it. Two rights, got it.
Miss, my truck over here...
Okay.
Whoo!
Paris hilton ain't got nothin'
on you, girl!
Da-Da-Da-Da!
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Don't touch the car!
Ma'am, it's not every day
that a Ferrari pulls up.
Hoo!
Hey, my name is lenny.
I'm one of the counselors here.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I didn't
get your name.
I didn't give
my name to you?
Listen, I'm looking for Mr. Graham.
Is he around?
Mr. Graham is always around.
Well then, can you
get him for me?
I'll be right back.
Hey, uh, Mr. Graham,
there's a woman out here
with a Ferrari.
Really? Where's she from?
My name is Doherty.
Where,
Where's she from?
Mrs. Doubtfire, he wants
to know where you're from.
Doherty.
My name is Doherty.
Huh?
I'm from Whitaker & Associates.
Huh?
Whitak... Oh, just...
I'm sorry, ma'am. I just don't
understand what you're saying.
Mr. Graham,
this is Meghan Doherty.
I'm with Whitaker & Associates.
My assistant called yesterday.
- Hello, Mr. Graham?
- Ma'am. Ma'am.
What?
If you wanna talk to Mr. Graham,
you have to push
that button right there.
Where's his office?
Where is his office?
Incompetent people.
Ooh, that's a nice ride!
Hoo!
One fancy automobile!
Mr. Graham.
- No, give me a hug.
- What?
Here we go.
Ms. Doherty?
Doherty. Meghan Doherty.
Good to meet you.
This is pastor Tinsley.
How do you do?
Pastor Tinsley, what do you think?
Breathtaking.
Pastor Tinsley's church is gonna be
our guest all this week at camp.
Mr. Graham, is there someplace
we can speak in private?
Well, sure.
Right this way.
Have a seat.
I need to get right to the point.
As you know, we're the lender
in second position on your property.
Mr. Whitaker sent me down here to
discuss your property in its current state.
You're in foreclosure, set to
go to auction this Saturday.
Since we don't wanna risk anyone
else attempting to buy your property,
I'm here to make you an offer
and close on this deal today.
Hmm. It's funny.
I spoke to one of you
people the other day.
Now Whitaker's sending somebody
down here to patronize me?
Mr. Graham, I am not patronizing you.
I'm here to make you
a serious cash offer,
an offer that I know is more than fair.
Look,
you're behind in monthly payments,
behind on your taxes.
We're just trynna help.
All you have to do...
is sign the power of ownership over to us
and we can handle the rest.
Ms. Doherty,
I may be a little late
paying this mortgage,
but...
I serve an on-time God,
and he will deliver us from this
financial hold your bank has on us.
Mr. Graham...
Do you know anything about this place?
Or are you just down
here to earn a commission?
I'm here to do you a favor.
Follow me.
(I'd) like to take you on
a little tour of the camp.
A tour is not going to change
the position you're in.
Come on. What do you have to lose?
Hmmm.
I'm second-generation
land owner of Graham Holdings.
My dad was a minister.
I use this land to give back to God
for me rebelling against his
righteous ways when I was a kid.
Look at it.
I love this land.
There's no place like it.
Our ministry's taken a big hit,
just as I'm sure residential has.
Churches can't tithe the way they used to
or pay extras for the kids,
(and) that trickles down
to people like us.
Meghan you can tell Whitaker
I have to decline his offer.
Listen, the deal is the deal.
You can pray to your God
any time, day or night,
but it's not gonna stop the fact that
out bank is gonna take this property.
Take me back to my car.
Meghan,
I'll tell you what.
I'd be willing to put my faith
that God will come through
(that) this will all be water under the bridge.
If you just...
stay here for six days.
see what it is we do here.
watch God's blessings unfold.
and then if by some chance you don't
see why this land is so important,
I'll sign your deal before
the land goes to auction
so you can get your
big commission check.
Listen,
take the check,
gather your Christian folk,
and go build a church in a new location,
near a city where people actually live.
Ms. Doherty,
I know that as long as I don't put
my signature on that document,
I have a fighting chance to
keep what's rightfully mine.
No,
it's not over till God says it's over.
and God hasn't told me anything.
So,
why would me staying here for six days
make any difference in whether
or not you sign this deal?
You'll be able to see what we do here
with your own eyes.
Maybe then you'll understand why
I'm willing to put my faith in God
and fight to keep this place
open to help people in need.
To you, this is just another business deal.
This is my whole life.
If it's more money you want,
let me call Mr. Whitaker.
Let's up the offer.
You have my offer.
Six days and I'll sign.
That's my promise
to you and to God.
One condition:
the deal remains between you and me.
You can't tell anybody else.
I don't want people around
here to judge or treat you
any differently than
the rest of the guests. Ok?
All right.
Deal.
Okay.
I just need to make a few calls.
Meghan.
You scared the living
daylights out of me.
Sorry.
Uh, we have a camp meeting
in five minutes.
About this deal,
I need to go and make a call to my office.
I need to go home and
get some extra clothing,
because the only clothing
I have is what I'm wearing.
Now, do you have a phone
in your office I can use?
Five minutes.
And you can leave all your stuff in the car.
No one's gonna mess with it.
Five minutes.
Hasn't anyone ever told them
that staring isn't polite?
Meghan,
listen, why don't you join
my church's ocngregation?
You can be our special guest.
Maybe you could teach my kids a little something
about whatever it is that you do. They...
They love your car.
Sure. Whatever you say.
Awesome. Thank you.
Well, I guess somebody didn't get the
camp memo about appropriate attire.
I'm Jacob.
Everyone around here calls me Jake.
Well, Jacob, you can keep your
smart comments to yourself.
Ok, I just saw you walk
in here with my father,
and I can tell by the
way that you're dressed
that you're obviously not one
of the church group leaders.
So,
why are you here?
I'm here for the same
reason as everyone else.
Enlightenment.
Now I don't know who you are,
but...
I'm sorry, did you just say
that was your father?
Yeah. I run this place
with my parents.
I'm the head counselor here.
Sorry. Meghan Doherty.
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to God's Country.
I want you to shake away all the
worries of your day-to-day rat race
and peer pressure,
and especially video games,
social networking, and...
texting.
You're here to relax,
make friends,
and most of all, discover that real
inner love of self and God's spirit.
Before we begin, I want you to turn
to the person to your right and left,
and give them a big, welcoming hug.
Oh!
Hey.
Okay.
Oh, my...
Meghan,
I'd like to introduce my better half over here
for almost 25 years now, Caroline.
She's sort of the mother hen,
caretaker of the camp.
So if you get sick, bitten,
or just plain homesick, she's...
- Bitten?
- Honey, stop it.
He's just pulling your leg.
If it was the summer time, yes.
But in the cooler months
we don't have that problem.
Good to know.
Oh, hey, Meghan,
this is Geri.
She's one of the counselors
here. You guys should...
Hi!
Are you a model?
You're so pretty.
I know your feet must be
killing you in those high heels.
Uh, Geri, go fetch Meghan
a pair of your boots.
Oh, no.
They'll probably be a little too big,
But they'll give your feet
a much needed rest.
Just show me to my room,
so I can get on my laptop
and make a few calls,
and I'll be awesome.
Meghan, you're kinda missing the point
of what we do here in God's Country.
And that is?
Off the grid.
Here you go.
Anyway, welcome aboard.
Grudge match. Ping pong.
Let's go. You wanna watch?
I'm gonna watch.
Ok.
Those are for you.
I'll take you to your trailer.
You're gonna want those.
I'm not wearing them.
My trailer?
What is this?
Well, this is your living quarters.
Sorry it's not the plaza hotel.
I am not staying in that.
Well, it's stay in that trailer, or
in the house full of teenagers.
Here or there.
What have I gotten myself into?
Gross!
Get it off!
What are you doing,
stalking me?
No, I just came by
to see if you were okay.
I am not okay!
I hear these things howling at me
and there was this big bug...
Wait. A bug?
Yes!
Are you laughing at me?
Wait a minute.
What are you doing?
Hey, mom?
Yeah, honey.
Can you send Geri to
trailer number one, please?
What's up, Jake?
It's Meghan.
And a bug.
It was a big bug. Big.
Sorry. A big bug attacked her, and
now she refuses to go to the trailer.
You want me to send someone
to stay with her?
Affirmative.
Okay, honey. I'll tell Geri. Bye bye.
Thanks.
It was a big, big bug.
Yeah. It's all clear.
Hi again.
Are you always so petulant?
Oh, um...
They actually said that you
needed a little help out here,
so we're gonna be roommates now.
I hope that's okay.
You're not too adjusted
to the wild, huh?
- That's okay.
- Well, now you've a bodyguard.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay.
This is for you.
What is this?
Um, Mr. Graham said that you
needed some clothes to wear,
so I just brought you some of my own.
I'm not wearing that.
We don't get any signals out here.
What, are you guys in the 1800's?
How do you live like this?
Live like what?
Like this.
No cell phone, Wi-Fi.
What are you supposed to be proving?
(We're) not trynna prove anything. We're
actually just in the middle of nowhere.
Hey, Meghan.
What?
Do you mind if we just say a quick
prayer before we head in for the night?
Pray on.
Okay.
You've reached Meghan Doherty.
Please leave a message.
Meghan, bet you've wrapped
Graham and those documents
around your little finger today.
I can't wait to hear about it.
Call me.
Meghan, wake up!
Meghan. Meghan. Meghan.
Wake up, sleepyhead!
Rise and shine
and kick out the glory, glory
What time is it?
It's 6:00.
6:00 a.m.?
Yeah.
Come back at 10:00 a.m.
I don't do breakfast.
Geri,
where's Meghan?
She wouldn't get up.
Jake, will you ask pastor Tinsley to
start this morning's prayer service?
Yeah, you got it.
Thanks. Be right back.
All right, y'all, how's
everybody doing today?
What is wrong with you?
We're having prayer before breakfast
and you have to join your assigned group.
Listen. I'm tired.
I am not going anywhere.
And I've agreed to stay here for six days.
You agreed to be part of the journey.
Being part of the journey
means taking the journey.
Now (if) you don't show up for your
assigned group, our agreement's off.
You can get back in your fancy car
(and) drive back to Los Angeles today.
Okay. I get your point.
Let me just go take a shower...
No time for that.
You gotta meet your group.
Breakfast is in 15 minutes.
Get up, throw some water on
your face, I'll see you out here.
Jake, do we know
where your father is?
There she is.
Meghan, I think we can all sit down together,
and eat as a family.
Hmm?
Let's bow our heads in prayer.
And Jesus said unto them,
"I am the bread of life,
He that cometh to me
shall never hunger
And he that believeth
on me shall never thirst.
Amen.
Now we can eat.
All right, gang, remember
this is a contest,
so there are special reward activities
for the group that pulls
together and does the best job.
The first activity is a two-Mile
hike up to the tennis courts.
So, Lenny, it's all you, buddy.
Wait.
You all right?
I am not dressed for a two-Mile
hike out in this jungle.
I'd actually be more
worried about the snakes.
Come on, I'm just kidding with you.
I got your back.
You're gonna be all right.
Thank you.
Okay, let's go for a hike!
You've reached Meghan Doherty.
Please leave a message.
Hola, Meghan, you've been
gone for two days now.
We all know when you're working on
a big deal you stop communicating,
but you missed our weekly facial
appointment today, and that's not like you.
Okay, call me. Bye.
Group three, we're here,
and you might notice
that there are no tennis rackets.
But...
We do have these.
Oh, no.
It is bad enough
that we hiked two miles,
And now you expect us to work?
Come on. It'll be fun.
You'll have fun.
We're gonna clean this place up.
We're gonna get it nice and beautiful.
What is fun about hiking two
miles to clean a tennis court?
Listen, it's not about the work.
It's about us working together as a team.
I can't believe
what I'm hearing.
It's like you're brainwashed.
Okay.
We'll start on this end,
and we gotta work our way back.
Let's do it!
Hey, Meghan.
Everything okay?
No.
What do kids learn from hiking two miles
up to a tennis court covered in weeds?
And guess what?
Here are some gloves and shovels
and let's clean the tennis court
and learn about the good lord.
Hmm!
Calm down.
I am not going to calm down!
Why don't you just sign this document?
Just give up already.
There's nothing you can do
to save this land.
Ok, I get it that you are a man
of God and you live off this and,
but I don't see a miracle that's
gonna come out of the sky
and save this place!
You done?
No.
Do you want more money?
'Cause if you want more money,
I can get you more money.
What is it that you want?
Ms. Doherty,
We have an agreement.
I plan to stick to my end
if you stick to yours.
Now if you don't get back
to your group, deal's off.
Well, welcome back!
I need a facial
and a makeover so bad.
Wow!
You look so different.
You look really pretty
without makeup.
Ugh! My body hurts so bad.
Have you ever had a facial or?
No. No.
Sit right there.
'Kay.
You have pretty healthy skin.
You should take care of it.
Oh, I wash it with soap.
Soap?
Soap is the harshest thing on a lady's skin.
My friend Valentina and I,
we get a facial once a week.
Oh.
I feel like my face is cracking.
Wanna see?
Good morning!
What time is it?
5:45.
Why do we have to get up
so early?
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes
a girl healthy, wealthy, and wise."
All right, I know that's not in the Bible.
How did you sleep?
Gosh, last night was so special.
Just, it was like...
almost like I had a sister.
Ouh!
Oh, are you okay?
It feels like someone's
poured concrete down my back.
Oh no!
Listen, why don't you just go ahead
and tell Mr. Graham that I can't get
out of bed because my back hurts.
Just go ahead.
Okay.
Hello, Meghan?
My... uh...
My dad asked me
to come check on you.
Meghan, are you all right?
I'm gonna come in.
Are you dressed?
Ouh!
Ouh!
Are you okay?
I'm all right. I...
just strained my back from
pulling weeds yesterday.
I thought I had some
Ibuprofen in the car.
Well come on, let's
get you some aspirin.
You wouldn't happen to know where
there would be a phone I could use.
Um, yeah, well,
the only phone's in my father's office.
Other than that, the closest phone's
about 10 miles away in the nearest town.
I could ask him if you like.
Oh, no.
I guess I could drive you to
town if it's that important.
Yes, it is that important.
Just far enough until I get some cell signal,
and then I could make the call.
Yeah, sure.
Come on. We'll take my car
and we'll be back before lunch.
Yeah, all right.
Where are you guys headed?
Oh, she needed to make an
important call and use the phone.
I didn't want to bother you.
Is that right, Meghan?
Yeah.
That's right.
You okay?
Yeah. All of a sudden
I just feel sick.
Maybe Carol can help her
with her sudden sickness.
You know, I think I'll be okay.
I just need to sit down and rest.
Run! Run!
Come back! Come on,
come on. Come back! Come on.
Let's go!
Come on!
Run, run! Go, go! Come on!
We would have won if I didn't
have to run two legs of the race.
Yeah, what's her problem?
She scared of breaking a nail?
So how do you feel?
I still feel a little dizzy.
I understand if you wanna leave, but...
I wasn't trying to leave.
I will be here until next Saturday,
'Cause we agreed
that you would sign that deed.
And I'll be here to
personally hand it to you.
It sure looked like you
were trynna leave today.
I wasn't trying to leave.
I was making a call.
My job is at stake and I needed
to let Mr. Whitaker know
it's taking a lot longer than I thought.
Meghan,
the point is to leave that behind.
You being here is about resting
and getting in touch with God.
Calling Whitaker is not gonna change that
or speed up the process.
You are just so in control.
But you know what I've figured out?
You're the only one who knows
how bad things are around here.
And you're the only one who knows that
this may be the last week
this place is in business.
(I) wonder how your family
would feel if they found out.
You threatening me?
You've reached Meghan Doherty.
Please leave a message.
Meghan, hey, it's me.
I've been calling for three days now.
No one in God's Country
is answering the phone.
So, if you had closed the deal you
would haves called by now, right?
I'm really getting worried.
Hola, Meghan, soy yo.
It's Valentina.
I wish you would just
pick up the phone.
We are all trying to locate you.
I really hope that
Your not calling has anything to do
with our discussion the other night.
I'm so sorry.
I miss you.
Please, just...
just call me back or,
or call Adam, okay?
All right.
Bye.
gotta love it in God's Country
nice!
You know what, I was
just thinking something.
When I was a kid growing up
in California,
one of the things
that I remember the most
was spending the holidays
together with my family.
And even though we were
all packed in there,
it was a tiny little two-Bedroom house,
- I was the runt,
- Rightfully so!
Right?
I slept on the floor.
I had my brother here,
I had my sister here,
these cousins everywhere.
I never felt crowded.
Never.
You know what I felt?
I felt love.
I felt togetherness.
I just don't think there's anything
that can replace that feeling,
that feeling of being
together with your family.
Amen.
I think maybe we should
take a little moment here
to realize how lucky we are
to be here with each other.
Amen.
You know.
Okay.
All right.
(I) Guess I'm sorry if I got you
into any trouble this morning.
No, you didn't get me
into any trouble.
I do have a question for you.
What's going on?
Why is my father hovering over you
like a mother over a new born baby?
When I came here I told
him that I needed help.
And so he agreed to help me
and treat me like everyone else.
(I'm) Not being nosy,
but help you with what?
Don't worry. I'm not
a drug addict or anything.
I'm a workaholic.
And so it's work that
I think about all the time
and hence I'm up here for rest.
Hence, no cell phones,
no computers,
None of that stuff.
That's what your dad's
been helping me with.
Yeah, well, he can be bullheaded
and stubborn sometimes.
Tell me about it.
How's your back?
You know, it's...
still a little tight.
But I think the aspirin
has helped ease the pain.
So what do you...
So tell me about Jake.
I've been a counselor here since my
parents owned and ran the place.
I left for a couple of years to go
to college and business school.
And then I came back to help
my mother and father run it.
Where did you go
to business school?
Harvard.
You went to Harvard business school?
Yeah.
What are you doing here
working as a counselor?
Well, who needs Wall Street? You know.
I came here to learn how to build the perfect bonfire.
Plus I make one heck of a smore.
Listen, do you wanna
come with me?
There's something
I wanna show you.
Okay.
So, this is my vision.
I wanna build a Christian college
with full student housing.
Uh, the campus will be a state of the art
college with full academic curriculum.
And the students, they
can earn college credit
and they can earn scholarships by
working at the camp during the summer.
This, um...
Well, this is a day care center for single
mothers who wanna attend college.
This is student housing.
Oh, and look at this.
That's the student activity center.
I'm impressed.
Does your father know about this?
Oh, yeah, of course he does.
I mean, we spent thousands putting together a
business plan with some really solid projections.
And we can get state funding, tax relief.
But,
I'm talking about building
an entire infrastructure here,
I mean electricity, sewage, water, paving a
road that goes all the way to the highway.
I'm sorry.
Am I boring you with this?
No! No.
So why haven't you
put this plan into action?
Graham Estates is a nonprofit organization.
It raises most of our funding
through church offerings.
With the economy hitting
all churches, big and small,
it's put our entire organization into flux.
What we need is a venture capitalist to invest,
but so far efforts have fallen on deaf ears.
Our vision is not their vision.
My family...
We really believe in helping
those who need help.
It's God's way.
Paperwork looks good.
And we are ready to move forward
with Whitaker & Associates.
Mr. Whitaker, one question:
Where's Ms. Doherty?
Have you heard anything?
Nothing. Adam,
I'm worried.
My brother thinks
she's very impressive.
It's been four days!
Okay, hold on.
- Ms. Doherty?
- Yes.
Valentina hasn't heard anything.
...and she is. She is
very impressive indeed,
And right now she's away.
She's handling...
some very detailed business, but...
I don't know what to do
or how to reach her.
Why doesn't someone just drive down
there and make sure she's all right?
...I can assure you that
everything is going to plan
and the closing will take place on time.
How's the weather over there, Hoshi?
Mr. Whitaker doesn't wanna
go down and interfere.
He'd prefer for Meghan
to call in.
She's working on some
really big deal for the firm.
I don't know much about it though,
other than it's worth a lot of money.
Forget Whitaker and how much
money this deal is worth.
What if she's in trouble?
What if she needs our help?
Anything could have
happened to her.
You get on that phone
and call the state police
and place a Missing Persons Report.
Don't just sit around
and do nothing.
You hear me?
Okay, well, look,
Mr. Whitaker says if she doesn't
call in the next couple of days,
he'll go down there himself.
All right?
I gotta go, though.
Okay, bye.
You can't keep putting this off.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
We've tried her cell many times.
There's no answer.
Adam, our friend is missing.
If you're not going
to call 911, I will.
Well, you decide.
If I call 911 and she's okay,
I risk blowing her deal
and my job.
How's your back?
My back's doing good.
Hey, Meghan, I could
use your help on this pull.
No!
Come on!
You can do it.
Meghan!
Meghan! Meghan!
Oh, wait a second.
Let me put my hair up.
Bring it on, blondie!
You're goin' down!
You're goin' down.
You got nothing.
Grab your ropes, everybody!
On your marks,
Set!
Come on, Meg!
Pull!
Bring it on!
Okay, come on, come on!
One, two three! Pull!
Come on, guys!
One, two three! Pull!
Pull harder!
- One, two, three...
- Come on guys!
Pull!
One, two three! Pull!
Great job!
Meghan, he has never lost!
That is amazing!
Victory, baby!
Victory!
Great job.
So this is it.
This is what it's all about.
Wow!
This is your reward
for winning at tug-of-war.
You didn't let me win, did you?
Trust me when I tell you this,
I love to win too much
to allow you to win.
Oh, I...
I have to go.
Stay on task...
Wait.
...It's not personal.
It's business.
Did I do something wrong?
Can you take me back to camp?
Meghan,
so, I spoke to a guy
out at God's Country,
and he said that a Meghan
Doubtfire with a Ferrari
has been out there
for the past five days.
So what's goin' on?
What have they done to you?
Look, you know, I don't care
about the Yakamoto deal.
but if I don't hear from you
by the end of the auction,
I'm calling the police.
So what do you do for a living?
I'm in real estate.
Oh, real estate.
That sounds interesting.
I wanna major in civil law.
My father's a lawyer, so I get to see
how he helps people out of tight spots.
I can never see you as a
person who'd major in law.
Why, 'cause I'm not
all glamorous like you?
I always wanted to fit in
with the girls, you know.
It's just,
I have four brothers.
It's just easier to play rough, you know?
I have an idea.
Listen, why don't you come to
Los Angeles for a weekend with me?
Really?
Yeah, we can...
we can go shopping, and...
Well, we could find
you a new hair style.
How does that sound?
We could have some girl time?
You know, just do
a bunch of girl things.
I would like that.
Yeah?
Sounds like something my mother
and I would have done together.
Oh, where's your mother?
She died last year.
I'm sorry.
My father died when
I was about your age.
I did everything with him,
and then...
When he died I just lost
interest in everything.
Hey, you know what?
You seem too nice to be a lawyer.
All the lawyers I know
are just ruthless.
There's good and bad in
everything and everyone.
I wanna be a lawyer
so I can...
So I can fight for the people that
can't afford to fight for themselves.
You know, for example,
say there's this big bank that locks an
elderly couple into a bad mortgage,
and then tries to evict them from their home for the money 'cause they're greedy.
That's when I would swoop in,
Superlawyer Extraordinaire,
coming in, saving the day,
saving the elderly couple,
punishes the bank,
does the right thing.
I don't know, I think
it'd be great.
I know this verse on greed.
Isaiah 56:11.
"Yeah, they are greedy dogs
who can never have enough."
"They are shepherds
that can not understand."
Where are you, Meghan?
This is what I was talking about, Jake.
Luke 10:23.
"blessed are the eyes
that see what you see."
How are you doing this morning?
Great. Good to see you.
Hey, Jake.
Yeah.
The truck. Where is it?
Uh, right in front of the office.
- Keys inside?
- yup.
Thanks, man.
Come in, Meghan.
Eden?
Hi, Meghan.
Have a seat.
I have a confession to make.
Mr. Whitaker didn't send me
down here just to make an offer.
There's a pair of businessmen,
the Yakamoto brothers,
and they're here to develop the land.
They want to turn it
into a casino and resort.
It's a $100 million deal
and I don't see any way
that you could stop it from happening,
especially since tomorrow is the auction.
Thanks for
the information, Meghan.
There's nothing left
for me to do but pray.
Will you stop it?
Right now is the decision!
Mr. Whitaker is gonna come
down the road any second now
and just shut down
the entire operation,
including me.
I get it.
I understand.
There is something really
special about this land.
But you have to be proactive.
Jake shared with me the entire vision that
you have to be able to build a Christian college.
You gotta find someone to invest in it,
to pay up the debt, to buy this land so
you can put this camp back in operation.
I've tried everything.
I've called everyone
I know with money
that could maybe bail me out,
but so far, no one.
All I have left is my faith in God.
Don't you understand?
That's all I have left.
But what about Jake
and everyone else?
Jake trusts you.
He trusts that you and him are
going to complete this vision.
You're right. You're right.
You're right about the whole situation.
Just...
Yeah.
You know what? I'm gonna
tell my family tonight.
It's not fair to hide things
from the ones you love.
It's just not fair.
They have the right to know.
You're right.
Okay.
No. I want you
to come with me.
Can I have your attention, everyone?
In John chapter 8,
the passage states,
"Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free."
Well, I have a confession to
make about God's Country.
We're in foreclosure.
And as of Saturday
we will be no more.
The land will got to auction
to the highest bidder.
But the good news is,
they made us an offer,
and with the money,
we'll be able to
start over in a new city.
Sure we can start over
in a different city, but...
I love this land.
Wait.
Why can't just call the bank and ask
'em to work something out with us?
Because I am the bank.
And...
my boss won't bail you out of debt.
There are some businessmen and they have made a very large offer for the land. Jake!
You lied to me.
I didn't lie to you.
I just didn't know how to tell you.
Lying and not telling are
the same thing to me.
Jake.
Wait!
It's not her fault.
Yeah? Then whose fault is it?
You hid this from me!
What about the college?
What about the vision
that we had?
Son, I know...
Know what?
That we're losing everything that we've worked
for and you didn't have enough respect for me
or the workers to tell us?
Meghan, how...
how could you do this to us?
Geri, it's not her fault.
She's just doing her job.
Eden, how did all this happen?
I tried everything I could to stop this.
But uh...
our time is short.
I meet with Ms. Doherty tomorrow
to finalize the paperwork.
So, um,
Let's enjoy the rest of the camp.
Pastor, could you lead us in prayer?
Sure.
Dear heavenly father,
we ask for your guidance
and your wisdom,
and that you may pour
your blessing upon your work,
your land,
and your people.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
Amen.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
You know, as long as I can remember,
this's been my spot to come
(and) get away from the world,
clear my mind from any worries, doubts,
Fears.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to mislead
you why I was here.
I'm just doing my job.
I should have known.
Right? Like,
who drives up here in a Ferrari?
It's gotta be a banker or a lawyer,
somebody self-oriented.
Yeah, that would be me.
I was exactly that person you
just described when I came here.
I was on a mission
to close on this deal
and get back in time
to have drinks with
my friends in the city.
But something changed.
After seeing all this,
and you sharing your...
your vision with me,
and meeting everyone,
I understand why your father
doesn't wanna part with this land.
This really is God's Country!
Look, I know I can't blame you,
but I don't have to like it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I feel so bad.
Don't.
I realize that you were
just doing your job.
And...
that I need to forgive you
like Jesus would have.
Do you wanna forgive me?
Yes.
Yes, I do. I...
I really enjoyed
what we shared together.
And I learned that there's a
lesson in every part of life
and it is not your fault
that this camp is broke.
That's something that Jake and
Eden and Caroline have to deal with.
So...
I'm gonna go for a walk.
May I come for a walk with you?
I'd rather be by myself.
I just...
I've a lot to think about.
You've reached Meghan Doherty.
Please leave a message.
Meghan, Whitaker's furious.
he plans to come out there
if you don't call in.
Your job's at stake.
I hope you're doing
the right thing.
I should just close
the deal and walk away.
That's all you have to do.
You've done it a million times before
and it's gotten you a Ferrari,
a home out in the Hollywood Hills.
I mean,
what more do you need?
Who cares if I've taken away
everything they care about?
When have I ever cared before?
Meghan, just stay on task.
It's not personal. It's...
It's business.
It's business.
Hey, pastor Tinsley!
Meghan.
How do you feel today?
Confused.
Okay, I'm listening.
Yesterday I felt so bad, and...
today is the last day,
and I just feel like the executioner.
You're a good servant.
That's all God wants us to be
is good servants.
I guess I've just been experiencing this...
overwhelming amount of guilt
these last few days.
If it's God's will,
then it's his will.
You're only his messenger.
I just feel like there's
something that I should do.
If this is God's will
then it's his will.
Good luck.
Everybody ready?
Hey! Jake!
Jake! Jake!
-What?
- Jake, listen.
Grab your truck
and come with me.
What's going on?
I don't have time to explain.
Just follow me.
Listen, Jake, I know you don't
trust me, but I have an idea.
(I've) had enough of your ideas,
okay? Why should I trust you?
You standing here mad at me
is not going to save this land.
You... let's go to your room
(and) get your business plan.
I have an idea!
If you don't trust me,
then trust God.
Come on.
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Meghan, OMG!
Where are you?
We've been worried sick!
Adam, I'm fine.
Tell Whitaker nothing, okay?
I can't just do that.
Look, you fell off the face of the earth.
We all have questions.
Call jason and tell him that
I am on my way bearing gifts.
Okay, my friend?
Yeah, okay.
My car.
Take it. It's yours.
Jason, you told me that if I had
a great opportunity, you wanted in.
This is it.
What is it?
It's the future.
I hope you have
your check book.
Hello.
Mr. Whitaker, we can
no longer wait.
I thought you said the deal
would be closed by today.
Hoshi, relax.
I gave you my word.
You know how these lawyers work,
Going over all that paperwork.
It takes some time.
I understand that, Mr. Whitaker,
but we had a deal,
and we agreed upon a deadline.
- Yeah, but...
- I'll wait for your call.
All right, gather around, folks.
we're gonna start the auction
in about five minutes.
Now, what you're gonna be bidding
on is 1,000 acres of God's Country.
Please, serious bidders only,
Includes three nice trailers,
lovely little log cabin,
and a private lake.
All right,
we'll start the bidding at 75,000.
Wait!
- 1000 acres of...
- No no no no! Wait! wait! Wait!
I got it.
I got the payment.
Here you go.
I'm with Whitaker & Associates and
I hereby present to you the payment
to restore the land into good standing.
Everything seems to be in order.
Sorry, folks, no auction today.
Thanks.
Meghan,
I hope that smile is because Whitaker & Associates
is closed on this land.
No.
We have a new partner.
God's Country is gonna survive,
so we can continue to
save lives and give back.
Do you think the world needs another casino
to take people's money and destroy families?
Why couldn't you build something
that gives back to mankind?
Meghan, you gotta be kidding me.
No, I'm not, sir.
After spending time here and seeing
what this land was really about,
I realized I could not be a part
of building a casino out here.
There are so many other pieces
of land in this vast desert
where the Yakamoto brothers
can build their casino on.
This little piece of land,
this is too valuable,
to this camp,
to these people,
And now me.
You know what?
You're fired.
I know.
Meghan, I trusted you
to come up here
and do the right thing!
And you crossed me?
I did do the right thing,
and it took being up here at God's Country
and this land to finally realize that.
Now if you'll excuse me,
we have a college to build.
Man, I can not believe you
got rid of that sweet ride!
Listen, I'm gonna be in Los
Angeles in a couple of weeks.
Maybe I can come down
there and we can hang out.
Promise.
Yes.
Oh, stop it.
I'm gonna go get the truck.
All right.
I'm really gonna miss you.
I told you I want you to
come hang out with me.
Yeah, but you're just saying that now.
Promise.
You're special.
Thank you.
Meghan, we're truly
gonna miss you.
How did you know?
I didn't.
He did.
You ready to go?
I am.
So, partner, you ready to take me back
to the hustle and bustle of city life?
You know you're always
welcome to stay here.
You can teach business
finance at the college.
Trust me.
I'll be back to check on my new venture.
especially since I'm officially unemployed.
Yeah, well, I hope business isn't
the only reason you come back.
How about I buy you dinner?
You know, I know a
great sushi place.
Hey, do you have
any plans tomorrow?
Why? What do you
have in mind?
Hello?
Meghan!
Oh.
Well, I can't say
I'm not disappointed.
Well, I know that you're busy...
Meghan, can you wait a second?
There's someone at the door.
Be right back.
Ah!
Yes?
Hi. I have a delivery
for a Ms. Emma Doherty.
That's me.
Great. These are for you.
Oh, thank you.
Have a great day.
- You too.
- Bye bye.
Oh, Meghan.
Okay, I'm back.
I just received the flowers.
How beautiful! Thank you.
At least you didn't
forget about me.
Again? Please hold.
Oh!
Surprise!
Oh, my God! Meghan!
Oh, sweetheart!
Happy birthday, mom.
Oh! Thank you.
Come in.
Oh my God!
Happy birthday!
- You look beautiful!
- Thank you!
- This is Jake.
- Hi, I'm Jake.
Hi!
Yeah, I know!
Come in!
Oh, sweetheart,
I can't believe you did this!
Hey, come on!
I was so surprised!
I just couldn't believe it. Oh.
I actually got you
a little something.
Jake, thank you.
That's very sweet of you.
You're very welcome.
Your daughter's very important to me
in the little time I've known her. So...
That's so sweet. Thank you.
Yay! Cake!
Oh, look at that!
Happy birthday, mom!
You think it's big enough?
I'm so glad you're here.
Oh!
Hey, you mean the world to me.
Thanks, sweetie.
Okay, now blow out
your candles.
Okay. Ready?
