Kings2009

[David had been abducted from his prison cell, and suddenly finds himself deposited in a field where Rev. Samuels waits]

David Shepherd:
...I don't understand.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
It's all been arranged; a plane is waiting. We have friends in other countries, until it's safe for you.

David Shepherd:
You want me to run?

William Cross:
[suddenly speaking from his car] Only if you want to live. Your death is a foregone conclusion; Silas is only waiting to sell the last few believers on his version of your truth.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
Which is why we must protect you, David.

William Cross:
Silas won't be around for long - we need to keep you safe, so he doesn't kill you first.

David Shepherd:
Why are you so sure he won't be around for long?

William Cross:
[getting out of his car, he approaches David] The problem with great men is they don't always die at their best; some live to make mistakes which outlive their accomplishments.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
Come on, David.

David Shepherd:
[pulling away from Rev. Samuels] No... If I go with you, everything Silas says about me is true.

William Cross:
You're worried about his good opinion of you?

David Shepherd:
I'm worried about my own... I'm no traitor.

William Cross:
You'd rather die than be misperceived? Careful, David; you never wanna be *too* good.

William Cross:
[to his men]... You heard him; rush the man back to his execution.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
...David...

David Shepherd:
You, of all...

David Shepherd:
[he removes the wristwatch which Rev. Samuels gave him after anointing him, and returns it] If I *do* die, it shouldn't be while wearing this.
