script excerpt

MURRAY

First they killed John the Baptist. Then Jesus. How long before they execute Peter? You know they will. And then they’ll start coming after the rest of you.

JAMES

What would you have us do?

MURRAY

For God’s sake, someone has to put their foot down and say enough!

JOHN

This is God’s will, not yours. We will gladly and willingly accept what may come.

MURRAY

You’re turning us all into martyrs. Is that really what you want? I’ll tell you something. You know what a martyr is? An inept disciple.

JOHN

I know I’m going to regret this. Do you have something in mind?

MURRAY

You bet I do. We’re going to show this city some real disciples. Apostles, we’ve got work to do!

CUT TO:
