You
Thank you for coming detective, thank you for coming this is terrible just terrible
It's the worst thing that's ever happened at Bible Camp. I can't believe this has happened. It's all right director calm down
Show me the scene of the crime. I
Came in this morning and everything looked fine
But when I got over to my desk, I noticed it the book was gone. The book was gone. The book was gone
I always keep my how to become a Christian book right there on my desk and now it's gone
Are you sure you didn't misplace it or put it somewhere else?
I'm sure I always leave it right there and you're positive it was there last night
Positive and you didn't notice anything else moved or out of place except
that carrot
That's right. I found that carrot right there. You haven't touched it. I haven't touched it good
This could be our only clue
I'll have the boys at the lab pick it up and check it out
Gonna check it for fingerprints gonna check it for fingerprints and teeth prints
You say the only people at the camp right now are your staff members. That's right
How many staff members do you have six does the lifeguard the nurse the cook the coach the secretary and the groundskeeper?
Did you ask them about the book? Yes. I asked them all this morning before I called you what they say
They said they didn't take it. Hmm. Oh, no, this is terrible now
Let me see if I've got this straight
Last night your how to become a Christian book was on your desk
But when you came in this morning, it was gone and the only people at the camp right now are your six staff members
hmm
It just might be might be what director. Do you know what this could mean? No what one of your staff members?
Might not be a Christian. No. Yes. Oh, no. Oh, yes
Is there anyone else around who could have taken the book? No, then it has to be one of your staff members is not a Christian
Oh, no, this is terrible. How can you be so sure think it through director?
Why would a Christian sneak in here in the middle of the night and take your how to become a Christian book unless they weren't?
Really a Christian. Oh, no, this is terrible
But which one is it the lifeguard the nurse the cook the coach the secretary or the groundskeeper?
I don't know but detective you've got to find out before noon tomorrow
That's when camp starts and all the kids will be coming. I'll do my best director
But let me tell you this is no small matter. We're dealing with here. We're not talking about
Trespassing robbery or even murder. We're dealing with a crime much more serious than that
No, the crime of the year right in my own camp. No the crime of the decade. No director
Not the crime of the year nor the crime of the decade when any person doesn't give their life to Jesus
They will go down as committing
the crime of the age
Hey detective is the water warm 72 degrees. That's still too cold for me
It's got to be 90 before I'll go in been on staff here long. That's my third summer
Start right out of high school. Make sure you enjoy working with the kids. Yeah, it's very rewarding
Say you take a swim if you like. I just cleaned it. Oh, no, not me
I can't even do the dishes. I can't do the dishes. I can't do the dishes. I can't do the dishes
I can't do the dishes. I can't do the dishes. I can't do the dishes. I can't do the dishes
Oh, no, not me. I can't even do the doggie paddle. I'll be glad to teach you. Oh, that's alright
I think I'll stick to floating too bad about the book
Yes, it's a terrible crime. He leads yet. Maybe one
You don't have any idea who might have taken the book. Do you?
me
Well now that you bring it up
I've been wondering about the nurse nurse. Why her she's always taking walks thinking like she's meditating
Plus I saw her go into the director's office pretty late last night
Kind of suspect if you ask me no pun intended. Well, I'll be sure and have a talk with her
Just for the record. Do you mind telling me where you were last night? Come on detective. You don't think I took the book
It's just for the record. I was out here by the pool reading. That's when I saw the nurse. I see
What were you reading the Bible? Not just a novel. I don't like reading the Bible
Is that so? Why not? I really don't have a desire to it's pretty boring. If you ask me
I just listen my pastor on Sunday explains it all he went to seminary
Hmm
That's odd
Christian who doesn't read the Bible
Interesting
Thank you
Sure. Oh
by the way
Do you like carrots?
Yeah, I like carrots
Interesting have a good day
Hello detective. Hello. The director said I might find you here
You certainly have a lot of beds. How many kids go through here in a week? Well, we have 200 beds 200 kids ages 8 through 12. I
I bet you go through a lot of band-aids. Well last year
I averaged each day 11 scraped knees seven cut fingers five bumped heads and two bruised shins. I
Get panicky when I get a slipper too bad about the book. Yes
It's a terrible crime any leads yet
one or two
You don't have any idea who might have taken the book. Do you?
me
Well now that you bring it up. I'm not so sure about that cook the cook
Yes, the cook I saw him go into the director's office late last night. He's very strange if you ask me
He's always singing he wants to teach all the kids how to cook
This is a camp not a kitchen. These kids aren't interested in recipes. They want recreation
I'll be sure to have a talk with him
Do you mind telling me where you were last night?
Detective you don't think I took the book
It's merely routine
Well, I went out for a walk last evening. That's how I saw the cook
I was just out walking around meditating about the kids coming. Oh, I see you were praying for them a little praying
No, I never pray
How's that?
Well, I figure it this way detective
I mean God's gonna do it God's gonna do no matter what I say
Plus prayers hard work and I've got so much on my mind, especially with camp getting ready to start and all I
Just try to be a good example
Mm-hmm. That's odd
Christian who doesn't pray
Interesting thank you. Oh by the way
Do you like carrots? Yes. I like carrots
Interesting have a good day
Oh
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved
Cook like me. I
Was lost but now
Oh and found was blind but now I see
You've got a good voice there detective. Oh, I don't know about that. You're staying for dinner
I hope I'm making pizza with my special homemade sauce. You like any particular items on your pizza?
No, no, whatever you put on there is fine with me
Unfortunately, I like them all too bad about the book. Yes
Terrible crime any leads yet
Two or three
You don't have any idea who might have taken it. Do you me? Well now that you bring it up
I'm not too sure about the coach the coach why him he's always playing basketball even on Sundays
Plus it's a little strange to me that he always wears three pairs of socks when he plays three pairs
I tell you and if that isn't enough I saw him going to the director's office late last night
I'll be sure and have a talk with him
Oh, just to keep all of the ingredients in order. Where were you last night come on detective?
You don't think I took the book. It's just routine
I was in my room all night listening to music in fact when I got up to change the tape
I just happened to look out my window and that's how I saw the coach
I remember the tape too. It was my Brian Ford tape
I like Brian Ford, of course
You do spend time doing other things like reading the Bible and praying not me. I've got my Christian music
That's all I need. You can learn a lot from the lyrics, you know
That's odd a Christian who only listens to music
Interesting oh
Thank you. No problem. Oh
By the way, do you like carrots? Yeah, I like carrots
Interesting have a good day. What about the teeth prints? I
See
Okay, Jack. Thanks a lot. Oh
Do you want the carrot back whatever you think? No, you can keep it. Bye
What'd he say?
The fingerprints on the carrot were smudged and the carrot was broken not bitten. So we've got nothing. The carrot was our only clue
This is terrible director
Do you have another copy of the how to become a Christian book? No, I don't is there any way you could get one for me today?
I'm sure the Christian bookstore in town has one please get one
All right. Also, could you arrange for the cook to serve raw carrots with the meal tonight? Sure. Thank you How's it going coach pretty good
Just get a little workout. I like your socks. Thanks. I always wear three pairs of weak ankles
Yeah, that explains it here. Take shot. No, I never was much of a basketball player. Come on it take them. Take a shot
All right
Let's try well, I never played much in school too bad about the book. Yes. It is a terrible crime
Hey legit three or four
You don't have any idea who might have taken it. Do you me?
Well, not you mentioned it. Have you talked to the secretary yet the secretary not yet? Yeah, she's my bet
Oh, not that I gamble. She's real quiet doesn't say much like she's hiding something
Plus I saw her go into the director's office when I got back from a game late last night
I'll be sure and have a talk with her. You say you were at the game last night
Oh, come on now detective. You don't think I took the book. I'm just trying to
Keep the score straight. It was Wednesday night. The others went to chapel. I play in the summer league
I can't control the schedule got games on Sunday, too
I see but you do go to church. You do get fellowship. I don't like church. It's kind of boring
People just go they're out of obligation anyways
That's odd a Christian who doesn't like to go to church
Interesting
Thank you. You bet. Oh, by the way, do you like carrots? Yeah, I like carrots
Interesting
Have a good day
Hello detective, I see you're working. I hate to disturb you. No. No, you're not disturbing me
Well, you certainly have a lot of monkeys here
Yes, it's everyone's favorite store about how many candy bars do you sell a day?
No, each kid eats at least two or three a lot of cavities. I should have been a dentist
Too bad about the book. Yes, it is. It's a terrible crime any leads yet
four or five
You don't have any idea who might have taken it. Do you?
me
Well since you asked I wasn't going to say anything
Have you talked to the groundskeeper yet the groundskeeper? I saw him going into the director's office late last night
I've always wondered about him seems to be carrying a chip on his shoulder. I see I'll be sure and have a talk with him
Just for my account. Where were you last night? No detective. You don't think I took the book
It's just to keep things straight
I was here working all night
The candy just came in yesterday and I've been taking inventory when I was going to my room
That's when I saw the groundskeeper
Like I didn't mean to say anything. It's not my place. That's quite. All right. You're just telling me what you saw
That's being a good witness like when you share your faith. Oh, but I never share my faith. How's that?
I couldn't do that. I wouldn't know what to say
Besides my church has visitation every Tuesday night, and they've got trained people who do that sort of thing
Hmm, that's odd a Christian who doesn't witness
Interesting
Thank you. You're welcome. Oh, by the way, do you like carrots? Yeah, I like carrots Interesting
Have a good day
Hey, detective looks like you've got the place in tip-top shape. Thanks. It's getting there
I guess 200 kids a week keeps you pretty busy. Yeah, these kids get more food on the ground
They do in their mouths too bad for me. It's the other way around
So, how's the uh, looking?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
So, how's the uh, look for the book? I'm still at it. Any leads yet? Five or six
You don't have any idea who might have taken it. Do you?
me?
Well, now that you bring it up I got my hunch
Talk to the lifeguard yet for a moment. He's your man reads all the time real bookworm, you know
Even saw him going to the director's office late last night
It all adds up to me
I'll keep that in mind
Just for my report, where were you last night?
Oh, come on detective. You don't think I took that thing
It's just for my report
Well, I was putting up lights at the basketball court all night. That's why I saw the lifeguard
You know, this thing is all pretty ridiculous if you ask me
How's that?
Hiring a detective to look for a little book
But the book was stolen
So what?
Stealing's a sin
It'll turn up. It's just a book. It's no big deal
Hmm
That's odd
A Christian not concerned about sin
Interesting
Thank you
Anytime
Oh, by the way
Do you like carrots?
Yeah, I like carrots
Interesting
Have a good day
Let us thank the Lord
Heavenly Father, we thank you again for our daily bread
Lord Jesus, we thank you for being the bread of life
Amen
Detective, around here we pass the food
So take what you like when it comes by
Thank you
Interesting
You can sleep here, detective
I hope this is all right
This'll be fine
Oh, I got a copy of the book that you wanted
Thank you
If you need anything else, please let me know. My room is just down the hall
All right
Detective, do you have any idea who it might be?
It's hard to say, director
I'm still putting together the pieces of the puzzle
This is terrible, just terrible
And with camp starting tomorrow
I won't get a wink of sleep tonight
Good night, detective
That's it
Good night, detective
When you're in the detecting business
A lot of people think they're being judged
Well, that's not my job
I just try to get to the truth
And let the Holy Spirit take it from there
There are a lot of crimes that take place in the world every day
And each crime has its own punishment
But there's one crime that ends in eternal destruction
Not many of us like to think about it
But the facts remain the same
Two days ago
The director's How to Become a Christian book was taken
But nobody knows who took it
But I do know one thing
It could have been the lifeguard
Me? I didn't take that book
You said you were reading by the pool all night
That's right, I was reading a novel
But somebody said they saw you go into the director's office
All right, I did go into the director's office
I was out by the pool reading when it hit me
I'd been starving myself
I hadn't been reading the Bible
I didn't even bring my Bible to camp with me
So I went to the director's office to look for one
I saw the book
I even picked it up and flipped through it for a minute
And the next day
After I spoke with you
I drove to town and bought a Bible
But I didn't take that book
I never said you didn't
I just said it could have been the lifeguard
The lifeguard isn't the only person who could have taken the book
It could have been
The nurse
Me?
I didn't take that book
You said you took a walk for the evening
That's right, I was thinking about the kids coming
But someone said they saw you
Go into the director's office
Yes
Well, I did go into the director's office
I was feeling lonely
Wouldn't you if you went a whole day
And never prayed to Jesus?
I hadn't talked to him in a long time
I was confused about the sovereignty of God
I saw the book on the director's desk
I even looked at the chapter on prayer
But then I realized
I didn't need to read about praying
I just needed to pray
After I talked to you
I finally prayed to Jesus
But I didn't take that book
I never said that you did
I only said that you could have
But then again
It could have been the cook
Me? I didn't take that book
You said you were in your room all night
That's right, I was listening to my music
But someone said they saw you
Go into the director's office
Okay, so
I went into the director's office
I was looking for a book on songs in the Bible
I wanted to see what the scripture had to say about music
I've been listening to a lot of songs lately
And I wanted to see what music
Really praises God
I saw the book, I even picked it up
To see if there was a chapter on music in it
After talking to you
I turned my tape player off
And I've been thinking more about the Lord
But I didn't take that book
I never said you didn't
I just said that you could have
It could have even been the coach
Me? I didn't take that book
You said you were at the game all night
I was
And we won too
But someone said they saw you
Go into the director's office
Alright
So I was
I was in the director's office that night
I knew my basketball schedule wasn't that great
I hadn't had any fellowship
Or heard a good message in a while
I was in the office looking for
Sermon tapes
I saw the book, I read a chapter on
Church
After I talked to you, I changed my schedule
Switched around some games
But I didn't take that book
I never said that you did
I only said that you could have
It also could have been the secretary
Me?
I didn't take that book
You said you were in the candy store all night
That's right, I was taking inventory
But someone said they saw you
Go into the director's office
Alright
So I did go into the director's office
I knew how I'd been living
Just doing my job
From day to day and never saying
Anything to anyone about the Lord
So I went in his office
To look for a book on witnessing
I saw the book on the desk
And I even looked through it
I looked at a chapter on how to witness
The next day
After I talked to you, I started praying
For opportunities on how to share my faith
But I didn't take that book
Never said that you did
Just that you could have
And it even could have been the groundskeeper
Me?
I didn't take that thing
You said you were putting up lights all night
That's right, on the basketball court
But someone said they saw you
Go into the director's office
Alright
Alright, so I went in the office
No big deal
Look, I was bothered by something
Been having some trouble with my spirit
First time in a long time
I went in the office
Thinking I could find something to read
About confessing sin
I saw the book
Picked it up, even checked out the chapter on sin
Next day after I talked to you
I went off and did some settling
Along with the Lord
But I didn't take that book
Never said that you did
Just that you could have
The book is missing
And the only people who could have taken it
All say they didn't
It doesn't add up
The case seems impossible to solve
Well if none of you took the book
There's only one other possibility
Isn't that right
Director
Pardon me?
Come on director
You heard my phone conversation with the lab
That carrot had no teeth marks
So?
Did you notice how you took the carrot at dinner last night?
I took a carrot, so what?
But you broke it in two
And the carrot in your office that night
Was broken in two
That doesn't prove anything
Yes it does director
You've been the one most upset over this whole case
You've never been sure if you're a Christian
That's why you took the book
As a question to yourself and hoped someone would show you the way
That isn't true
Come on director
You know that deep down inside you've never been sure if Christ is in your life
Yes I am
Come on director
You know that without a personal relationship with Jesus
Life is nothing but a charade
And your life has been just that
No it hasn't
You've read that How to Become a Christian book many times
And you know what it says on page two
Right on page two it says
A Christian is a person who lives their life for Jesus
That's what a Christian is
A person who lives for Jesus
That's right on page two
No that's page one
Yes it is
It is on page one my mistake
An excellent acting job director
Yes it is on page one
But there's only one way
You could have known that
I was desperate
I've always liked music
And I thought by listening to Christian music
I could understand how to become a Christian
When I went into the office that night
I was looking for a book about songs in the Bible
But
I saw the book
And I looked at it
But I didn't take it then
When I went back to my room
I couldn't get to sleep
And I got hungry
So you came down for something to eat
A snack like a carrot
And from the kitchen back to your room
You had to pass by the director's office
I didn't want to wake anybody up
So I brought my flashlight
I went in your office director
I had to look at it again
I was going to ask permission
But I just had to read it right then
So I took it
And then I felt guilty about taking the book
And I got scared
And so when you left
You accidentally dropped part of your carrot
Yeah I guess I did
I went back to my room and I read the whole book
But I still don't understand it
I need for someone to tell me
How to really become
A Christian
I'll tell you how
I'll tell you how you can know the Lord
Hey I'll show you how right from the Bible
I'll pray with you
We can pray together
This Sunday me and you
We're going to church together
Amen
First thing you got to do
You got to deal with that sin
Well detective what a glorious day it's been
The angels in heaven are rejoicing
Over a soul that just entered the kingdom of God
My staff has been revived
And this is going to be the best year of Bible camp yet
I'm sure the Lord is too
But how did you know it was the cook
Well actually I didn't
But I knew the book knew
That's why I set up that little scene with you this morning
Hoping the guilty party would confess
You don't know how grateful I am to you
For coming out and working on the case
That's quite alright director
Hold it director
Hold on just a second
What is it? Out there in the audience
I sense something
What's wrong?
Somebody didn't like this film
Somebody didn't like it
This is terrible
That's odd
A Christian who didn't like this film
Interesting
Excuse me
May I ask you a question
Do you like carrots?
