[MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Hey, food is here. Oh great! Okay. Who has the personal pepperoni and mushrooms? Who's got the spaghetti? That's me. Here is your large pizza. Is there anything else I can get you guys? All right guys, here is to our new boss, John Wilde. Hear! Hear! Hear! Thank you! Oh, would you guys mind if I ask the Lord to bless the meal? Hey Allen, don't you know that religion isn't appropriate Well, hey it's my party and I say, go right ahead Allen. Dear Heavenly Father, we ask You to bless this meal before we receive it. Look over John as he steps into his new leadership position. Lord, give him wisdom to make the strong, tough choices that certainly lie ahead with his new role. And we ask this in Your Holy Name, Amen! I should have gotten the pizza, that looks good! Parmesan. Come on! That's good! Thank you! Again, John, congratulations on your promotion! You really, really do deserve it. Thank you! Thank you! I'm a little too young for this position, but you know I really worked hard to get here. About every other night this past year. And that's a bad thing? She never hounds me about the late hours, when I forget to put the toilet seat down. Man, there you go talking about your wife again. Hope one day I find someone like that. I mean, seriously, they all seem nice at first but then... Hey kid, take it from me, enjoy your freedom while you can. I've been married eight years now and all I think about are the ones that got away. I'm surprised to hear you say that. You mean to tell me there's never been a girl in your life that you don't think about every now and then? But that was so long ago, and we were just kids. A lost love, huh? Hey, do you know what she's up to now? Guys, I think we can cut him a little slack; He's a happily married man, okay, gosh! Thank you! Plus, that ship sailed a long time ago. No, it hasn't. I mean, come on, this is the Internet age, we're just a few mouse clicks away from finding out I can't do that, I'm married. So am I, but I have a ton of old flames I still talk to online. Yeah, socialfriendpages.com. Hey, as long as you keep it in cyber land, it's all good. All I'm saying is this is the 21st Century, what used to be taboo is now par for the course. I really don't believe that, do you? It's really getting kind of really late, I should be getting home. Yeah, all right, let's... let's settle up then. The least I can do is buy my new boss dinner. Hey, quit sucking up to the new boss. Oh, you'll have your turn. Oh, thank you! Is this my welcoming committee? Yeah? Don't be too excited to see me. It's okay. Hey! You've been holding down the fort? Looks like you have. No way! [BELL RINGING] Hi. How did I get so lucky? Maybe you did a lot of praying when you were younger. Maybe I did, I am the son of a preacher. You don't always act like it. Let's get out of here. You know, I cannot wait to spend the rest of the day with you. Just the day? Did I say day? I meant the rest of my life. Check in my... Charlie, you scared me. [BIRDS CHIRPING] Sleepyhead, come on, wake up, wake up, I made you breakfast. I don't want to wake up. I just want eight more hours. You know, I just don't think it would look very good for the new Senior Executive to be late on his first day. Feel better? Now, come on, get up. Come on, let's go, come on! Hey, then you're going to make me late, let's go. No babe, I'm serious, I have an 8 o'clock with Timmy Smitts and he's got tonsillitis and I'm ready to see if those things are ready to come out. Don't make me use this. You wouldn't dare. Come on, your breakfast is getting cold. Good morning Mr. Wilde! Very funny with the Mr. Wilde stuff. When Steve Jacobs was boss we didn't call him Steve, we called him Mr. Jacobs. Yeah, but that guy was like 70. Yeah, well, you're management now Mr. Wilde, it's only proper. I think you're right. Where is the Taylor file? I told you it needed to be on my desk by this morning. John, you said we had until this afternoon on that one. So it's John now? Is that how you address your new boss? I'm sorry Mr. Wilde, I'll get that file right away. [LAUGHS] Yeah, very funny John. Hey, that's Mr. Wilde. She wants me to call her? [MUSIC] Hey! John! Hey, what are you doing, I love this song? There's something I need to tell you. My dad told me yesterday that we're moving to France. What, France? And we have to move to where the new plant is going to be No, no, no, this can't be happening. There's nothing I can do about it John, I have to go with my family. Adrianna, you're my... And you're mine. I promise we'll be together again someday. Adrianna! [CELLPHONE BUZZING] What am I doing? I'm married, happily married. [BIRDS CHIRPING] All right! Now, open up and say aaa. Hmm, what would you say if I were to give a lollipop? Aaaa. [LAUGHING] You're so good with them Dr. Wilde. Oh, call me Mary please. So do you have any children of your own? No, not yet, but trust me, this office keeps me plenty busy. And what about your husband, does he want any kids? John would be wonderful with children, it's just... we're just both really busy right now, you know? Well, looks like those tonsils are ready to come out, so we better book some hospital time. You don't need to be scared of anything, they'll have them out before you know it. And you know what's really great, as soon as they're out, you get to eat nothing but ice cream for an entire week. [LAUGHING] So how was the first day being boss, Boss? A lot harder than I thought it would be, Yeah. Welcome to the life of the rich, successful and exhausted. Doesn't quite match the workload if you ask me. Whatever you say, Daddy Warbucks. I'm out. See you tomorrow! See you! Hey Gerald! About remembering the one that got away? Yeah, I do, yeah, why? If you ever had the chance to meet up with her again, would you? Does a rooster crow when it leaves the henhouse? Try to get home before I come back in the morning. [CELLPHONE BUZZING] Adrianna! A cell number is attached. Well, I need to call her. Set this straight. [PHONE RINGING] Hello! Johnny! No one has called me that in a while. Johnny, it is you! I'm so glad to hear from you. I've wondered forever if you still lived here. I couldn't believe it when I saw your SFP message. Yeah, about that, I need to apologize. I probably wasn't using the best judgment when I emailed you. You see, I'm married. Apologize? Why would you apologize? I thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Plus, I'm married also sweetie. Besides, it's just two old friends saying hello, what's inappropriate about that? Well, we were a little more than just friends. Oh Johnny, that was in high school. We were just two little kids back then. Yeah, I guess. So how are you? I want to see you. No, no, no. Never do anything until I tell you to. No. No, no, no. These arrogant Americans, they have no clue how to do business anymore. Well, it's good that they have a man like you telling them what to do then, isn't it? That's precisely my point. You're going somewhere? Yup, just going to pop out to meet an old friend. A friend? Yes, a friend. I used to live here when I was a young girl, remember? Don't know how you could have stood it? These Americans, they think only of themselves and are lazy beyond comprehension. They'd outsource their love lives if they could Yeah, well, if it weren't for us lazy Americans you'd be speaking German right now. Adrianna, I know this move has been hard on you, but I promise it will be worth it in the end. That's what you said last time, remember New York? Adrianna, I'm doing this all for you. This is all for you, mon chri. [PHONE RINGING] You better have good news. Yeah, I can't do this. This is a bad idea. [PHONE RINGING] Mary, hey sweetheart, it's me, crazy first day at the office. I had no idea how hard this was going to be. Ah, I bet you're exhausted. All right, well, listen, just get home as soon as you can because I have a surprise waiting for you. Okay, sounds great! I should be home in an hour-and-a-half or so. Love you too! Bye! Bye! There's nothing wrong in this, just meeting an old friend. No big deal. Johnny, it's so good to see you. I can't believe it after all these years. I mean, look at you, you look amazing! You haven't even aged a day. Oh, you always said the nicest things. Is that your car? That, oh, no, my car is in the shop, that's just a loaner. Come on! I just got this big promotion over at my work. Senior Executive at Saxon Wales. They specialize in marketing and advertising. Ah, how funny? My husband is looking for an advertising firm Well, maybe I can talk to him sometimes soon. Sure, but not tonight. Tonight's about us having fun. Promise me we'll keep in contact. We're going to be together again, I promise. I'll miss you. I'll miss you, more than you'll now. Promise me that no matter what happens you're not going to forget about me. I promise. [CAR HORN] [CAR STARTING] [MUSIC] Hey, this is our song. [MUSIC] # Why are you striving... # You remember this song? # Why are you trying to earn grace. # Me neither. It's one of the happiest and saddest times of my life. # Why are you crying # Let me lift up your face # So don't turn away So I guess we're having more than just coffee now, huh? You must try the smoked salmon here, it's delicious. Yeah? So you've... you've been here before? Oh yeah, we come here all the time, don't you? Yeah, you know, it's... it's good, it's good food. I can't believe this. This, you and me here after all these years hanging out just like we promised. Monsieur, would you like to order a little wine? Yes, sure, wine. I don't want to bug him. Oh, there goes about $500. It's just like the time you dropped pizza on the front of your pants on prom night. Well, I'm glad you remember the good times too. Those are the only times we had. Why did you have to just up and leave like that? But hey, that's all in the past, right? Tell me, come on, what have you been doing these past years? Well, after we moved from here my parents got me a modeling contract in France, and things were really amazing for a while, being so young in such a high stressed industry. I became a bad clich, and let's just say I got caught up in the wrong crowd. But that's when I met Pierre at a show in Montreal and the rest as they say is history. John, what are you doing here? Allen! Hi! Oh my gosh, this must be the famous Mary I've heard so much about? Hi Mrs. Wilde! It's so nice to meet you! I'm Allen. John's told me so much about you, I feel like.. Allen, Allen, Allen, this is my good friend Adrianna. Oh, sorry, I just assumed you'd be out celebrating with your wife tonight. [MUSIC] Sorry again about that embarrassing thing with my coworker. I just hope I didn't get you in trouble. No, I'm good. Hey, it was really great catching up with you. I have to admit seeing you again brought back a lot of old feelings. What kind of feelings? Kind that I probably shouldn't be having. Well, I know the feeling. No, you don't. After you left I was... I was depressed for a long time, you were my world. I didn't know what to do. Ah! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. We shouldn't have done that, I'm married, we're both married. [BIRDS CHIRPING] Good morning! What time is it? It's time to eat. Breakfast is served. Okay. What's the occasion? Well, after last night's fiasco I just felt bad. You must have really had your hands full. What's that supposed to mean? Nothing. That you came home from work so late. What are you trying to say? Nothing, I just thought that you would be home earlier. I told you that this promotion was going to be rough on us. You should know that I'm going to be working late hours from now on. It's just that when you said that you were going to be home in an hour and then you weren't. I made you breakfast in bed, what more do you want? Hey, I was the one who was up all night making you dinner and sitting there by myself. I work hard too, okay, and a lot of times I really don't feel like you appreciate it. I appreciate things plenty. I was the one who cleaned the bathroom floor, you remember that? Let's call the newspapers. You did one thing around the house for the first time in six weeks, when I do stuff like that every single day. Just forget it. I have to be at work early anyway. Thanks for breakfast! Hey, what are you doing? Nothing. Nothing. Sorry, I just had a long night last night. Yeah, speaking of last night, what was up with you and that young lady? What do you mean? Well, this may not be my place John, but the whole situation looked rather inappropriate. She is just an old friend from high school. Completely innocent. So Mary knows that you were out with her last night? Well, come on man, she is a woman, There is no reason to put her through that. So you're meeting with a young lady behind your wife's back at night, is that what I'm hearing you say? It sounds so bad when you put it that way. Look John, as Christians we've got to be really careful with female relationships outside of our marriages. I don't care how innocent it looks or how good your intentions are, there's always a chance for temptations to arise. Believe me, I can control myself, I love my wife. I know you love... it's not... the Bible tells us not to hang around temptation to try and fight it, but rather to flee it altogether. My advice to you my friend would be to do just that. Flee. I understand what you're saying, but like I said, she's just a friend, okay? Okay buddy. # When I'm alone # The faces they come and they go # # I wonder if they think I've changed # # I wish I could stay # But be where you are # The countrys and citys so far # # This is my dream and my gift # # But sometimes I get # Scared # That somehow I'll cease to belong Anywhere # # So I need you when it all starts to show # # When I'm alone # When I'm alone So what's going on, you didn't come all the way down here this morning just to say hi? I just, you know, wanted to check in. Okay, look, I don't... I don't know what's going on. I've never seen John act so nuts. I told you never to marry that guy. He's just like all the other men in the world, ain't nothing but a bunch of dogs. Mom, John is a wonderful man, and for our entire marriage he has given me nothing but love and respect, but it's just weird, it's like lately he is... it's like he is holding something back. Maybe he is out gambling. That's the first sign. It's not that. Trust me, John is nothing like dad was. Well, maybe you're right. Sorry to bother you actually, I've to get to work, so... Look Mary, if you want my advice, you're better off without him, but since you're obviously in love with the bum, be honest, and demand the same from your husband. Thanks mom, but I really have to get to the office so I'll talk to you later. Dad, hi! It's me. Good! Good! Hey listen, I need your advice. Something happened last night. [PHONE RINGING] Let me give you a call back tonight. Okay, bye. [PHONE RINGING] It is Pierre Budrow, I believe you know my wife. Yes, we went to high school together. Enough with the Chit-chat, we need to talk. Be at my house tonight. I believe you know where it is. Can't have him coming here. [PHONE RINGING] Doc station. Yeah man. John is on line 1. Hi sweetheart! I have to work late again tonight. I'm sorry honey, just huge new project. Oh! I... I actually made reservations at Antonio's. Antonio's, that place is kind of expensive! Yeah, I know, I just thought that, you know, we could do something special. I know. I'm sorry. This new promotion is a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I'll see you tonight. Love you! Love you too! This way please, sir. Mr. Budrow has been expecting you. Follow me please. Is his wife home as well? Thank you Bernard, that will be all for now. Mr. Wilde I presume? Yes. Are you a billiards man? I've played. Please. My wife has told me a lot about you. Is that right? What did she say? Now, do not pretend you do not know. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Would you care for sparkling water, Mr. Wilde? Sure! Adrianna, would you come in here please? Now, where were we? You were talking about Adrianna. Adrianna, how good of you to join us, I was just getting acquainted with your old friend. Two sparkling waters please. Isn't she wonderful? Yes, she is very, she's a good friend. My wife has told me many things about you, many, many things. She told me you are an executive at a marketing firm and it just so happens that I'm in need of a marketing team. Yes, that's correct. I was recently promoted. John, do you see this place I have here? It's very beautiful, sir. It's peanuts I tell you. You should see the place I have in France. It is much nicer than this modern monstrosity. Well, we don't have the same resources that the larger firms do, but we do work one-on-one with our clientele. I've noticed that with the larger firms that their advertising needs are subsidized. We may have a smaller number of accounts, but we devote 100% of our time to each one. I don't... I don't care for the sales speech, I prefer results. Can you give them to me? That shouldn't be a problem. Very well, your company may represent my cosmetics line. Our sales have been slipping and we need these products to appeal to the 18-24 demographic. I can do that. To America! Excuse me sir, you have an important call, Mr. Budrow. You will receive more information in the morning. Now you'll excuse me while I attend to other business. Thank you for the drink! Anytime Johnny! Hello! You're home. I am beat. I got a huge new client today who practically owns the cosmetics industry. Ah, that's great! It is, and it isn't. Means I'm going to be working a lot more late nights because of him. Well, we'll just have to make the best of it, but I was actually thinking that maybe after this campaign is over we could take a vacation. We could go, I don't know, somewhere like the Bahamas, actually see each other for a few days. It sounds good! Can we talk about this tomorrow, I need to get some sleep? Early morning. Love you! You too! $600 at Antonio's. John? It's probably just a client or something, but that's a lot. [CELLPHONE RINGING] Hey! I saw you weren't in bed, what's going on? Nothing, just couldn't sleep, thought I'd play around online for awhile. Oh! Well, I hope you're not doing anything that you shouldn't be doing. Oh! So you're accusing me of doing who knows what just because I'm on a computer at night? What's with you? Me? What's with you? Nothing, I'm fine. Look, I know that you're really like stressed out but, you know, you've been really snappy at me recently. I'm sorry, just tired I guess. Okay. Come on, Let's go back to bed. On the computer again I see, you're buying more shoes, is there where you talk to all these people you do not like? I have to talk with somebody, you know, it's not like you have any time for me. Oh! Sweet baby! You know that you're the love of my life? I have to work hard to keep all these nice things for you. Pierre, I don't care about material possessions, Hey, I like stuff, the more stuff the better, no? The American Dream n'est-ce pas, no? Not now Pierre. What? I have a headache. You know, if it wasn't for me you would have nothing, just another washed up, has been model. How dare you say that to me? You know I gave up my career to help us build this life. Career? A couple of magazine ads does not make a career, you mean spending my money, then okay, you had. Leave me alone. Okay, fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! Mary, we need to talk. Okay. I'm sorry for the way I've been acting recently. It's just this new promotion is getting me on edge and to top it all off.. You know that new client of mine? Yes. Well, you see I kind of... [KNOCKING] Are you expecting someone? Don't worry, don't worry, I'll... I'll get it, you just stay and enjoy your breakfast. Adrianna! [MUSIC] John! What's going on? Nothing, look, this is not what it looks like. Actually it is. How could you do this to me John? I trusted you. We took vows. Well, he is my man now. Hey son! How are you? But after that strange phone call last week I thought I might just stop by instead. Oh, it's so great to see you! Who is it? Paul! Mary, my little angel! Oh, how are you, sweetheart? Well, come on dad, don't just stand there, I'll make you some breakfast. No, no, no, no, that's not necessary. Mom has already taken care of me. Are you sure that I can't at least get you some coffee? I was just stopping by on my way to church and I just wanted to see if you two wanted to come. Dad, I've just been working really late hours recently and was hoping to catch up on some R&R today. I understand. John, come on, let's go, it would be fun. We haven't gone in so long. Maybe next week, I just need to adjust I haven't been late for a single sermon in 20 years and I'm not about to start today. Well, all right, just please make sure you stop by more often. You bet angel, anytime. Hey dad, let me walk you to your car. Why not? See you later son! Hey dad, do you believe in soul mates? You know the idea that there is someone out there for each of us? Well, the Bible says in Mark 10:7-8, for this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. And so I believe that the Lord has a specific plan for all of us and most definitely part of that plan is who we spend our life with. But as I've taught you, our Heavenly Father has shown us the way, but the path of decision, well, that's a road that we must walk ourselves. Are you and Mary doing okay? Oh yeah, she's amazing! We're great! Well, just remember, doubt is the devil's specialty. I know Pops. Hey, Mary and I will be in church next Sunday. All right son! See you next week! Mary! Honey! Hmm! Who is it? I've got to go do something. Right now? What is it? It's work-related. Okay, I trust you. I don't know Adrianna, I just feel guilty about this whole thing. But we haven't done anything wrong. Well, what about all the sneaking around? What do you call what happened in the car that night, that's not honest? It was an innocent kiss. There is nothing wrong with that. We're married. Look, I know this is moving really fast for you, but you and I had something long before we met our current partners, that's got to count for something. Maybe it did at one time, but we've both moved on since then. I'm happy with Mary. You are? Yes, I am. Then what are you doing here with me? Something I shouldn't be. Check please! There is no way these are business dinners They would have issued him a corporate credit card for something like that. Yes, but mom, he just got promoted Believe it Mary, your father did the same thing to me. Mom, dad was an obsessive gambler and nothing like John. Look, I know that John has his issues but deep down I can trust him. Then why did you show this to me? Look sweetie, John is at that age, and maybe he thinks he needs something extra in his life to prove he still has it. What are you trying to say mom? He is lying about something Mary. You need to hire a private investigator. That's what I did. No, I just... I wouldn't feel comfortable with doing that. I'm just going to talk to him, okay? Honesty is the best policy, you said so yourself. Oh, you remind me so much of myself when I was your age, too naive, and unwilling to accept the truth when it's right in front of your own face. You need a PI. Well, you came to the right place. I can get to the bottom of it. So I guess you want him followed? Followed? I want to know what he is up to 24 hours a day. Let me put it like this, if he buys an ice cream, I want to know the flavor. All right! Around the clock surveillance is rather expensive Mrs. Taylor, as you may or may not... or can I call you Margaret? Money won't be a problem and it's Ms. Taylor. Ms. huh, Ms. Yes, it's Ms. Taylor, so what you say we just stick to the business at hand, Mr. Stark. I'll... I'll just get right to the facts. I do good work Ms. Taylor and some of the stuff I find is not too pretty. I'm just making sure you've got the stomach for what I do find. I own a pawnshop mister, I can handle anything you throw at me. Just get the dirt I need. I'll be in touch. So how is your first day back? I so wish I was still on vacation right now. Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've been to Costa Rica. I mean, wow, you're going to have to see it to believe it. Amazing, right? You and your husband look like you're having so much fun. Well, that's the understatement of the year. And I'll let you in on a little secret. I think I might be pregnant. That's great! I'm so happy for you. Mary, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you all right? What's wrong, you can tell me? I don't know, John and I are just having a tough time right now. I don't know it's just... for the past few nights I've been having like this horrible feeling that he is seeing somebody else. Well, have you talked to him about it? I just... I don't know, I can't like... I can never bring up any of this stuff to him, and ever since his promotion he has been just so uptight, I don't... I don't know who to turn to anymore. Well, you know there is one person you can always go to? Who? He will never leave you in your time of need. He is always there to comfort and bless us. All you have to do is reach out and ask. Yeah, prayer would probably help. I remember when I used to go to church my life seemed to be better. It reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses. Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; And in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Every time I read that verse it's like a breath of fresh air. Wold you mind praying with me? Of course not. Heavenly Father, my husband and I need Your help. God, I pray that You would just open up his heart and just let him see how much love that I have for him. God give us strength, give us hope for the future. [PHONE RINGING] John Wilde. Adrianna, I told you, I don't want you calling me. What's wrong? You're in trouble. Okay, I'll be right there. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] What was so important that you had to call me here again? I told you I'm not comfortable with us seeing each other. Well, I had to tell you it was an emergency or you wouldn't have come. You lied to me. Look, I met with my psychic today and she told me that we are supposed to be together. ...You saw some loony psychic? Griselda is really in touch with Mother Earth, I am sorry, Adrianna, I have some beliefs that strictly forbid that kind of stuff. Well, who cares where the information comes from, the point is that the universe is telling us something, saying that we're soul mates. We probably were in another life. Hey, my husband is going to be out of town for a couple of days. It will just be our little secret. Wait! No Adrianna, we can't do this. No talking, no texting, no social friend pages, nothing! I'm married, you're married. No matter what our past, this is wrong. I'm going home to my wife. You should go home to your husband. Like taking candy from a baby. I have to call you back. Adrianna, what happened? Adrianna, please, tell me what happened? We need those proofs ASAP, publication is at 6. I know, I'm on it. Yeah. I don't think so. Adrianna, I'm sorry, I've made my decision. Hey bud, what's going on? Nothing. You've got a minute? Not really. Hey John, I need you to do me something. What's that? Take five. Do you see how swamped I am? Hey, just give me five minutes. I can't believe how quick I got this guy. They prove that he is not just having business dinners. I knew it all along. He is just like all the rest of the men in the world; Liars and cheats. Whoa, we're not all that bad now. That's what every man says, not me, I'm different, but in the end they always rip your heart out and crush it. Are we talking about you here or your daughter? My daughter of course. Why don't you have a seat? So what's going on buddy? Nothing, just... Stressed with work thats all. Come on, we both know it's more than that. Hey, as a friend, what's going on? I may have gotten myself in a little bit of trouble. You remember that woman you saw me with at Antonio's? Yeah, the one that was only just your friend. Yeah, that's the one. She's actually more than just a friend. She is an ex-girlfriend. We met up again on the Internet. Are you having an affair with her? An affair, no, no, I'm not having an affair. We just talked online and met up a few times. It's no big deal. It's not that bad, okay? It started off with something innocent and got a little out of hand, but I would never do anything to betray Mary. I'm afraid you already have John. Look, Jesus says in Matthew 5:28, "But I say unto you everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." those standards were written like 2,000 years ago, times have changed, we've evolved. The Internet has even changed things. Really? Come on, you really believe that? You really believe that the basic standards for trust and commitment have changed? And you really believe that you've not betrayed your wife by spending time with this woman? Come on John, really? What have I done? I've got... I've got to fix this with Mary. I have to beg for her forgiveness. Yeah, well, hang on, there's one thing you need to do first. What? You need to get your heart right with God. What are you talking about? Look, the foundation of a strong marriage depends on more than just a commitment between the two of you, but also a strong mutual commitment to Jesus Christ. My dad is a pastor, remember, I know all this. Do you really? Look, I'm a Christian. I go to church. I try to live a decent life. I'm a pretty good guy. Yeah, I know that because of your dad the pastor that you've been taught the right way. I also know John that you just know what it means to be a Christian. But I need you to ask yourself one question, are you truly walking in His light? I'll see you back at the office buddy. Hey pal, you're almost ready for church? Yeah dad, just memorizing the Bible verse that I have to say out loud in Sunday school. Well, let's hear it. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. That's great son! Yes, it means that Jesus came to earth, He died for our sins and that way we can all go to heaven. Right! Sit down. But there is a little more to it than that. You see, son, you have to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and then let Him into your heart so He can become your personal savior. Dad, I think I'm ready to ask Jesus into my heart. Dear Jesus! Dear Father, I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner. I am ready to ask for Your forgiveness Father. I know that You died on the Cross for me, and that you rose again. I am praying that You come into my life and become my personal savior Lord. I want you in my life to serve You. I ask this in Your Holy Name, Amen! See, I told you all men were pigs. What is this? Where did you get these? From the private investigator I hired. Mom, why would you go and do something like that behind my back? Well, someone had to protect you, because you sure weren't going to do it yourself. Now, I'll help you throw his things out. There is more going on here than just these pictures mom, I know it. Mom, stop! It's just like your father all over again, I can't stand it. Men are all the same, you can't trust them or they'll rip out your heart. Mom, I know that it hurt you when dad did all of those horrible things, but I promise you that this is nothing like that with John. I've been praying and I can already feel God working miracles in our lives. And I don't know what His plan is yet, but somehow I just... I know that it's going to work out in the end. I have faith that it will. I'm so glad I was able to raise such a strong lady. I'll never be as strong as you mom. Thank you sweetie! Come here. It's going to be all right. Look, I'm going to talk to him; I'm going to talk to him tonight. Everything is going to be okay. John, what's the hold up? Pierre is waiting. Okay, boss, you're going to have to handle that today. Me handle it, what on earth are you talking about? John, listen, it's your account. Yeah, well, there is somewhere else that I need to be. Somewhere else, what are you talking about, this is the biggest account this company has ever had, what could possibly be more important? My wife. Well what am I going to tell the client? You know, you're right, I do need to talk to him. Okay, in about five minutes you're going to fire me, for everything that you've done for me, you've been a great boss, this is all my doing. John, what are you about to do? You kept me waiting Mr. Wilde, believe me I'm not a person who is used to being kept waiting. I understand and I am very sorry. May I speak with you in private? Yes, I think it's better if you and I discussed what Adrianna told you in private. What's my wife supposed to have told me? You know, what's been going on between her and I? What has been going on between you and my wife? She didn't tell you. Pierre, I'm sure there has been some sort of a mistake, isn't that right, John? Pierre, your wife and I have been involved in some inappropriate meetings, I've violated my wife's trust and yours and for that I am very sorry. This is who you hire to run your marketing firm, someone who seduces your clients' wives. I want him fired now. John, when I promoted you to Senior Executive I thought you would be able to represent me and this company, I was wrong. John, clear out your desk, you're fired. I want you out of this building in an hour. If I ever see you again, we will settle this like men, it is a promise. I am sorry Mr. Budrow, it won't happen again. I'm going to handle your account personally. Mary! Mary, we need to talk. That's an understatement. You've been spying on me? No, my mother actually. There is something I need to talk to you about. So it's true and you are having an affair? Yes and no. What? Let me explain. I am all ears. Remember that girl I told you about that I dated in high school? Yeah, it was Adrian or something. It's Adrianna. So you slept with a girl from high school? ...Honey, I didn't sleep with anybody. Okay, then who is the girl in the pictures? That's Adrianna. What is going on John? I didn't sleep with Adrianna, but we did have a couple of recent inappropriate meetings. Define inappropriate? Well, we met for coffee and drinks a few times and we even went out to dinner. Well, that would make sense of the credit card bills. So you went to coffee and dinner, that's it? No, I also kissed her. How could you do this to me, to us? Baby, look, I'm... I have changed. I've accepted the Lord into my heart. Oh, you have, huh? Why couldn't you have done that before you went and kissed some other woman? Baby, please. I want you to leave. No, I don't want to talk, I want you to leave. Mary. Now! [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Dad, I've screwed up everything, I blew it. Oh, nothing can be that bad. Have a seat; I'll put on some tea. Now, tell me what happened. Remember Adrianna? Adrianna, is that the young girl that you had the crush on in high school? Well, she moved back to town and I've been seeing her behind Mary's back. I see. Does Mary know? I just told her. And how did she take it? Let me put it this way, can I sleep on your couch tonight? Son, you're always welcome here. Dad, I haven't been living a righteous life, and I'm not just talking about the infidelity, I'm talking about how I've been living day to day. I've been living my life without a spiritual path, but I'm changing. I've asked Jesus to be my personal Lord and savior, and I've asked Him into my heart and I want all of my decisions to honor Him. Son, I am very proud of you. You've made mistakes, we all do, but how you respond to those mistakes, that is most important. The Bible says in Titus 2:11, for the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people and we are instructed to turn away from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom and righteousness and devotion to God. You see, son, by your turning your life over to Christ, you've done just that. You've turned away from godlessness and moved into His light. But, how am I going to get Mary back? Now, son, that's... that's not up to you, that's up to her. But what you need to do is show her you're a changed man; A man she can trust; A man devoted to serving the Lord; A man devoted to serving her. Would you pray with me son? Our dear Heavenly Father, we humbly come before you today to pray for John. Mary! Mary! Mary! Mary! Mary! Hey bud, sorry for just dropping in, due to what happened at the office yesterday. Oh no, it's good to see you, come in. So she's gone to her mother's house, huh? Yeah. I think I've lost her forever. No, I don't believe that. She is just hurt and probably pretty ticked off. What have I done? Oh, well, for starts, you've admitted your shortcomings and you've committed your life to Christ, wow! What good is committing my life to Christ if I've lost my marriage? Man, I don't know if you ever had a marriage to lose. What are you talking about? I know you had a wedding, you went on a honeymoon, probably had all the trimmings; Probably got a marriage license hanging on a wall around here someplace. I mean, that's just material stuff, I'm talking about a Christ centered marriage. What's that mean? Well, that's when both the husband and the wife are united in Christ. It's all about foundation. Foundation? Yeah, you know, when you build something you have to have something rock solid to attach it to. Building a marriage is no different. I've lost everything; My job, my wife, Allen, I'm a man who has hit rock bottom. That is such great news; I mean, that's like praise the Lord, great news! Okay, how is that great news? Because that's the beauty of rock bottom, you've got no place else to go but up. Oh, come on John, can't you see? The night is always darkest before the dawn. You've made a commitment to Christ; You've taken the first step. John, my friend, this is your dawn. And I know what my next step is. Oh yeah, what? I'm going to go get my wife back. Yeah.
