to testifyagainst the malones, but that may bea tall order. okay, but no deal for him. look, i'm tiredof these people sticking it to the poor. sir, if we don'toffer him a deal, what incentive does he haveto testify against the mob? it's very simple, brian. if he testifies, the maloneswill probably kill him.
if he doesn't, he goes to prisonfor the rest of his life. it's a win-win. sir, i thinkwe should consider... no, you don't.i want him fried. now, get our agents therebefore the malone family gets to him. yes, sir. hi, it's george needleman calling for jeffrey.

the malone familyis trying to kill you, george. we've been given ordersto keep you protected. what does that mean? it means you and your familyare coming with us. we have a problemwith needleman. what happened? i think malone's boys knowthat we're gonna offer him a chance to testifyagainst them,
so they senttheir signature. is he all right? yeah, we're getting himout of there now. good, i'll get on the phonewith the us marshals right away... no, no. no, no. they can't go into one ofour regular safe houses. the malones have penetratedour guys before. we need to move himto someplace safe now.

as most of you know, i have been very sickthese past few months. but by the grace of god,i've recovered. but i have totell you something. i've given a lot of prayer and i feel it's timefor me to retire. (all moaning) now don't y'all worry,don't worry. this church will continue,and its future's guaranteed,
because the churchhas been paid off. (all cheering) praise god! oh, no. and i was ableto pay the church off because of the investmentsof my son. my son. i'm so proud of him. son, come onup here and tell them
what you've done. let us praise jesus 'cause we're allprecious in his name. precious. precious? jake: to allthe congregation here... ...there's somethingi need to tell you. i did invest the money... precious!
somebody's gotthe holy ghost. i know! you know? the same know that i know? that man knows! how much do you know? nelson: do you thinkthat he knows now? i'm not hot, i just know. praise the lord!
woman: yes! brian: all right, george, you want to try to explain this to me? there was a womannamed precious jackson that walter alwaystold me about. okay? now i've lookedat these accounts and they all startwith a letter. the letters spell out"precious jackson." it's all encrypted,right here.
what the hellare you talking about? the letters spell out... okay, i'm a little confusedby this, too. it's the namethe account is in. just follow this,'cause it took some doing to follow the money trailfrom the cayman islands and germany. but the trail goes cold when the money goes intoa swiss account. okay?
now, they wereall given a letter when they went inand came out. right? but every monthon this date, as the funds go intothis swiss account, this account in the ussees a deposit. now i balance the two,and it's exactly 10% that resurfaces in the usin this account every month to a lady namedprecious jackson.
what is 10% gonna do? of 600 million? that's six million! it's 60 million. sixty. i can getthe church's money back. praise god. yes, you andall the charities. can this really work?
yes, it can work. why would waltertake this money and put itin an account with some woman's namewho never touches it? well, either he didn'ttell her about it, or she doesn't exist. so what i'll do isi'll get a federal warrant, we'll getthe account seized. i'm pretty sure oncei bring this to the judge,
