Monica: Where has
the time gone, Tess?

Tess: Where it always goes--
back where it came from.

That's very
scientific of you.

Well, I'm a
many-faceted being

and you have not begun
to see all my facets.

I meant, I just
can't believe I'm starting

my 200th assignment.
And to think of all the years

of difficult and rewarding
and unforgettable cases,

that I'm going
to celebrate my 200th

right here.

Instead of The Bahamas?
I didn't say that.

I did.
Don't you feel the chill?

So, you say this is gonna be
a special assignment, Tess?

They're
all special, baby.

But you've never had
an assignment like this, ever.

There he is...

The one in the window.

Jesse Cartwright.

Okay, good job.
What about the next one?

6 times 3 is what?

Is 18.

Pretty good. Pretty good.

I just added 6 and 12.

Always so smart.
What about the next one?
8 times 2.

Have you ever heard a song
"a Rose in Spanish Harlem"?

Or a story
"a tree grows in Brooklyn"?

Yes.
Well, that's Jesse.

He grew up right here
in this neighborhood

with all this danger
and drugs and heartaches.

And somehow
he managed to survive.

No, more than that,
he shines.

Hmm. "He shines."

Jesse's brought a lot of light
to this community.

I should think raising
a happy and healthy teenager

in this neighborhood
would take a miracle.

Yes, it did.
What do you mean?

I'm not at Liberty to share.

Oh, well, I guess I can't
give you your present then.

What present?

Something I got to commemorate
our 200 assignments together.

Oh, baby, you shouldn't have.
Let me see it, let me see it.

Look out!

Hey! I'm walkin' here!

I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.

You crazy broad! Come on!

It would seem
that after 200 cases

you'd know the number one rule:
Don't run over your assignment.

My assignment?
(Sighs)

(Siren bleats)

Hey, mom--
you okay?

Some nutcase
just tried to run me over.

Cop over loudspeaker:
Please proceed

through the intersection
and pull over.

Oh, no.

We're off to a good start,
a really good start.

(Buzzer sounds)

Lionel,
they're ready for you.

Police officer: You'll have to
appear in court in three weeks.

We travel a lot,
officer.

We may not be in town
three weeks from today.

Then you can pay the ticket
and attend traffic school
within the next seven days.

Traffic school?

I don't make the laws, ma'am.
I just enforce them.

Yes, of course.

Now, you ladies
have a nice day.

Thank you.
Drive safely.

Well, at least
I'm getting a present.

Oh. Yes.

I hope you like it, Tess.

They're driving gloves.
Oh, they're lovely.

And the perfect gift,

since I'm going to be doing
all the driving from now on.

Woman: What is she
doing down there?

Who?

That maniac.

Did you see what she did?
She nearly killed me.

Cop gave her a ticket,
which she seriously deserved.

And now she's
just sitting there.

Finally.
Good riddance.

Man: Lionel flores,
you're 27 years old?

Yes, sir, that's right.

In for drug trafficking?
Yes, sir.

Before you were convicted,
where did you live?

Just outside of Chicago,
in shackelton.

Um...i need to get back.

I need to get back because
I need to do right by my kids.

Look at that.
That cop's not gone five minutes

and the dealers
are right back at it.

Mom--Guillermo?

Ah. Sorry.

Listen, I was just
coming to say good-bye.
I gotta get to work.

I'm filling in
for that crummy Jeremy.

He's got a two-day session,
and he called in an hour ago

saying he's got
an emergency root canal.

Okay, listen,
here are the keys to the car.

I'm gonna take the bus.
But you drive home straightaway.

I don't want you walking
home alone at night, okay?

Okay. I love you.
I love you, too, mom.

Bye.

Two more problems and then
we can go shoot some hoops.

Okay.

Hey, I got
another one for you.

Is it anything good?

Oh, yeah. It's obsidian.
Where did you find it?

At the dump.

Really? This will go
right on the shelf.

(Knock on door)

Jesse? Hi, I'm the new
after-school volunteer.

They told me
to come find you.

Oh, yeah. Monica, right?

No. Actually, I'm Gloria.
Monica was unable to make it.

Okay.

I just feel terrible.
What's going to happen
to Jesse and his mother?

Plan b.
Plan b?

Yes, and it's already
been put into effect,

so, you just hustle on in there

and learn your
turn signals and things.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Okay, but--
don't "but" me. Just go.

Bye-bye.

Yes, ma'am.

So, we get bilingual tutors
in here on Tuesdays

and scouting meets upstairs
on Thursdays.

And everyday at 6:00
we get some ex-gangbangers.

Woman: Hey, Jesse.
How ya doin'?

"Man's reach should
exceed his grasp,

or what's a heaven for?"

Are they all children?

(Sighs)
Yeah.

These are all the kids
we lost in the last 12 years.

A.i.d.s., drugs,

gangs and drive-bys.

It's a dangerous neighborhood.

You ever wonder why
your name's not up there?

I've got a great mom.

What about Guillermo?

His mom is doing
the best she can,

but she's got five kids
and she works all the time.

And they're really poor.
What about his father?

The best thing
I could say about that guy
is that he's in jail.

Can't say I'm sorry
to see you go.

(Laughing)

Inmate: Eh, Lionel!
So what, man?

Check it out, bro.
I'm out, man. I'm out!

Ha-ha-ha! Whoo!

(Buzzer)

What are you in for?

Driving through a stop sign and
almost killing a human being.

Almost.

I'm Monica.

God, I'd give anything
not to be here. Anything.

Jesse's mom: My name
is Kelly Cartwright.

Anyone who is here for the smart
and safe-t traffic school

two-day course and does not have
their paid receipt and does not

have their original violation
citation can leave now.

Nope, you may not go
and get it from your car.

No, you may not call your wife
and have her bring it to you.

No, no, this is not a course
in yoga and aromatherapy,

this is a jail, my jail.

And you are here to do time.
And your time starts now.

Oh, my god, it's you?

The homicidal maniac?

How did you
get here so fast?

You were just cited
this afternoon.

Or are you here working off
a different traffic violation?

No, I just thought
I'd get it over with quickly.

Oh, you did, did you?

Well, we'll just
see about that, won't we?

Kelly: Stop looking
at the clock, people.

The law requires that you spend
four full hours reviewing

basic traffic rules.
If you do not,

you will not earn your
valuable completion certificate.

Lady in the suit,
what traffic sign does
this shape signify?

Leigh.

Monica?
"Danger ahead."

Uh-huh.

"School crossing."
Uh-huh.

"Speed limit."

"Stop sign."

Oh, stop sign. Very good.

Do me and the world a favor
and memorize this sign.

Now we are finished.
I expect to see you back here

to complete
the last four required hours

at precisely
5 o'clock next Wednesday--

I can't make it Wednesday.
Can I reschedule?

This is not
a hair appointment.
Tough noogies.

Excuse me, Ms. Cartwright.
I was wondering if perhaps

you and I could have
a cup of coffee together.

You've got to be kidding.

Leigh (to Kelly):
Look, there must be
something you can do.

I only have a twenty.

(Jazz plays)

(Scraping noise)

Ohh!

Crazy rock! Jesse!

You do some more
consulting today?

Uh-huh. A little.
After class.

You need anything?
Nope.

A few bucks for lunch?
I'm fine.

Okay. It's gonna go right back
into the durango fund.

How much do
we have in there now?

I don't know.
But we're really close.

Hey, I tripped over
that crazy rock again.

If it's a doorstop,
put it against your door.

If it's part of your collection,
put it in your room, please.

All right.

Rocks in the freezer now?
It's an experiment.

How was your day?
It was good.

I got an "a"
on my history exam.

That's great!

And we got a
new volunteer in today.

A Gloria something.
She's good, though.

We were supposed
to have someone named Monica

but she couldn't make it.

That's funny.

There was a Monica
in my class today.

I'm gonna go change.

Okay.

Do you know that
she's teaching my class?

Yes. I told you everything
would work out all right

one way or another.

I wouldn't count on it, Tess.
She doesn't like me.

I mean, she really,
really doesn't like me.

Well, it could have
something to do with the fact

that you almost
killed her with my Cadillac.

Well, of course I...

It could be there's
something about you

that makes her
feel uncomfortable.

Like what?
You'll see.

This is terrific.
Take another look at number six.

It's time for basketball.

Yeah. It's time for basketball
in about five minutes.

And then when
Jesse gets back from the...

Come here, boy.
Ain't you glad to see
your daddy?

Get out of here,
Lionel.

Who the hell are you?
You know who I am.

Oh, yeah, you're that genius kid
who lives with the white lady.

Yeah, well,
I come for my boy.

Hey, what's up, man?
Come here, mijo.

Hey, Guillermo, you know,
I can't find your mama.

Where did you guys move to?

I think
you should go.

Oh, yeah. You got
no business with my son.

Man, I'll just cut you.
Hey, that's enough.

Now, he asked you to leave.

You don't want
to mess with me.

Sir, you're not welcome here.

And believe me,
you don't want to mess with me.

Yes, ma'am.
Well, I'll see you later, ma'am.

What you looking at, man?

Last chance, Guillermo.

Are you all right?
Yeah.

Thank you.

Red Jasper agate.

Guillermo says you like rocks.

Yeah.

It's kind of a funny hobby
for a boy from the city, huh?

I'm not gonna
be here forever.

My mom and I are saving up
to move to Colorado.

A lot of rocks there.

Yeah, they have a school
of mines in golden.

I'm gonna be a geologist.
That's great!

We're gonna live
down south in durango.

That's a great name, huh?
"Durango."

So, what's there?

Well, um,
there's this place

where the mountains
and the sky and the lakes,

they all come together
like glass.

I've never seen it,

but my mom says
it's the nearest thing
to heaven on earth.

And I could use
a piece of that.

(Car crash on VCR)

Narrator: Once again,
we witness the grim results

of one man's selfish journey
into intoxication.

Twisted metal intertwines
with ripped flesh, torn limbs,

and the lost dreams
of a prom night

that will never be.

It will be a long night
for the ambulance crew.

Each year,
nearly 500 people die

and more than 450 people
are injured

while trespassing
on railroad crossings...

Remember, everyone,
you must return your certificate

to the court in five days
in order to have your ticket

completely removed
from your record.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

What?

I noticed that Leigh skipped
the last night of class.

Not my problem.

Did you sell her
a completion certificate?

Class is over, Monica.
Bye-bye.

I think that you did.

Look, Nancy drew,
if nobody saw it happen,
it didn't happen. Get it?

Maybe I didn't see it.
But god did.

Oh, great.
I knew it. I knew it.

I knew there was
something about you.

You're an angel,
for heaven's sake, aren't you?

Oh, why, yes, but how--

I should have known.

I never knew an angel
who could drive worth a damn.

Well, you listen to me.

You go right back there
and you tell them "no." "Uh-uh."

I am not going back
and you can't make me!

Make you what?
Go home.

It's too late for that.
You're not bringing me in.

Bringing you in?
You mean that you're an angel?

Tess: Yes, she is, baby.

Yes, she is.

It's good
to see you, Kelly.

Well, that makes one of US.

I don't understand.

Don't force it.
You might ruin your hair.

She's a deep-cover angel.

She's been on
the same assignment for--
how long has it been now?

14 glorious years
in shackelton,

the drug capitol
of south Chicago.

Raising a wonderful boy.

But you're not his mother.
Very observant.

I think you should spend
less time insulting a co-worker

and more time explaining
your UN-angel-like behavior.

Walk a mile in my halo, honey,
and then we'll talk.

She was assigned as the
next door neighbor for Jesse,

and she and his mother
were very close.

And so when the mother
was killed by a drunk driver,

she became
Jesse's foster mother.

And a six-month assignment
became 14 years.

Well, that explains it.

Why I'm so human?
It's a rough world down here.

You ought to try it
for more than a week at a time.

We're not here
to discuss Monica.

We're here to help you.

I don't need your help.
Oh, really?

The father hasn't
heard from you in years.

So whatever power
he gave you, you lost that,

because you lost
your connection to him.

Let's face it, Kelly,
you're earthbound.

So what!
You take one look at my kid

and you tell me
what I'm doing wrong.

He's not yours--
he's god's.

That was the first thing
I taught him.

What else did you teach him?

All he knows
is that I'm a good mom.

Tess, I don't think I'm the
right angel for this assignment.

Baby, your assignment
hasn't even started.

Ow! Ow! Jesse.

Crazy rock.

Morning.

Remember that stock
I bought last summer?

It's climbed 30 points.
If I sell now,

we'll be way ahead of schedule
for durango.

What's wrong?

You remember Lionel?
He got paroled.

What is wrong with the criminal
justice system in this country?

I'm just worried about...

Honey, we're gonna
get out of here pretty soon.

Real soon, I promise.

Yeah.

The only problem
about finally getting out

is thinking about the ones
that you leave behind.

I love you.

Love you, too, mom.

What are you doing here?
This ain't your corner.

Things have changed,
Lionel. All right?

Guillermo doesn't
want you around here no more.

It don't matter
what Guillermo wants, okay?

I tell Guillermo
what he wants. Okay?
I'm his father.

You don't know
what a father is.

And when I get back out here,
I want you all gone.

Yo, yo, yo, what's up?

Flores, what's up, man?
Hey, que pasa?

Hey, this ain't
your corner no more.

Oh, well,
I'm taking it back, man.

You think so, huh?
Yeah, it looks like it to me.

All right, man,
we will see. We will see.

What's up, man?
Nobody likes me no more.

What happened?
Like, I'm such a nice guy, too.

Good afternoon,
is this Mrs. Polochek?

Mrs. Polochek,
my name is Kelly Cartwright,

and I'm calling on behalf
of the greater Chicago

pork and chicken
suppliers association.

And you have been chosen
by their board of directors

as the recipient of a
one-year subscription to our

dining out coupon book
which-- hello? Hello?

Tess: It hasn't
always been easy, has it?

Oh, for the love of Pete,
can I just get a break here?

We've got to talk.

Is the hit-and-run angel
absolutely necessary?

Actually, I didn't hit
and I didn't run.

It's funny
how things work out.

You know, I thought
it was an accident

that Monica had
to go to traffic school,

but look who she
ended up with as a teacher.

Will miracles never cease?

You know, it maybe that Monica
ends up being your teacher.

Fat chance.
Why not?

Because you don't
have a clue what it's like
in the real world.

No matter how horrible
it gets here sometimes,

people still
expect miracles.

And for the angels
who deliver them,

to be less than the best
that god has to offer is wrong.

Let me just
tell you what's wrong.

Wrong is trying to
raise a child without any money

and not even
a safe place to live.

Wrong is spending more time
taking Jesse to funerals

than to birthday parties.

Wrong is teaching him
how to say no to drug dealers

instead of teaching him
how to ride a bike.

You think
I've become too human?

You think I wanted
to give up paradise for this?

I've been slammed into the
pavement and ground into dust

like every other
miserable soul on this planet.

All I am trying to do
is to hold on here.

It's time
for you to let go.

No! I'm not gonna be the angel
who came in from the cold.

I'm not finished yet.
Jesse needs me.

I've been saving money so that
we can get out of this hellhole

and we can see
something that's beautiful.

Jesse's gonna be safe.
He's gonna go to college.

He's--

ohh!

He's not gonna go to college.

God, no. When?

Today.

Lionel.

Where are you going?
To stop all this.

You can't stop this, baby.
Only Jesse can.

Then what did I come here for?

P-a-r-tee.
Sound it out.

Par-tee. See?

Lionel:
Hey, where you been, dog?

Our father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name...

Move! Move! Move! Move!

(Horns honk)

Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.
Our father...

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Why can't we just have
someplace for ourselves?

We can.
I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

I gotta take care of something.
It'll only take a minute.

I don't think
this is a good idea.

If we do nothing,

then we're telling
these kids that it's okay.

Think about it.
Maybe there's another way.

How can there
be another way

when you're doing
the right thing?

They've got their turf,
Gloria, all right?

But this is mine...

And it's the children's.

Kelly: Move, move, move!

God, please, please,
please, please.

That's it, Lionel.
I warned you.

Take off now
or I'm calling the cops.

I ain't done nothin'!

That's not what I saw.
What you gonna do?

Just leave.

Move me!
Why don't you move me?!

Get off the block.
What you gonna do?!

Get off the block!
Make me!

Or kill me,
'cause I ain't leavin'!

(Gunfire continues)

No! No!

Jesse? Oh, Jesse.
It's all right. It's all right.

I'm sorry, mama.

No. No. No, Jesse.
Stay strong. Stay strong.

Please, no!

No! No! No!

Don't you dare!

No, no, no, no...

No! No! Don't! Don't!

(Sobbing)

It's time for you
to come home, too.

Go to hell.

(Sirens approach)

(Knocking)

Um...mrs...
Uh, señora...

Yes, yes.
You are Jesse's mother.

Um...

I have something
of Jesse's that...

That I thought he would
want Guillermo to have.

It's a poster...

Of a place in Colorado

that's very beautiful.

And it's...
It's a lot safer than here.

And...

And this might help you

to take your kids there.

Or...anywhere else.

Dios mio.

But where will you go?

I don't--

I don't know.

Ahh!

When we last spoke,
you told me to go to hell.

But I think that
you're already there, Kelly.

Just go away.
Leave me alone.

Will you pray with me?
No.

I don't think
I'll ever pray again.

You prayed the day
that Jesse died.

Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

on earth
as it is in heaven.

Well,
his will sure got done.

Right on schedule.

That's not how it works
and you know it.

Jesse didn't die
because he had no choices.

He died because
he had every choice.

And since god
is the same yesterday,
today, and tomorrow,

he already knew the choice
that Jesse would make.

"Free will." Huh.

The angel's excuse
for everything.

It's not an excuse.
It's god's answer to evil.

We can accept evil
or we can fight it.

And Jesse chose to fight
because you raised him

to know the difference
between right and wrong.

So he could die at 17?
So he could live to be 17.

And make a difference
in those 17 years

that most people
don't make in 80.

God granted you the gift

to love a child
with all your heart and soul.

Every angel in heaven
would love that chance.

And I know that
you're exactly the right angel

that Jesse needed.

But you're needed again now.

But...

Isn't it...

Isn't it
too late to go home?

No,
it's not too late.

But...

Will he forgive me
for being so...

So human?
Of course he will.

He does it
all the time, you know.

Yeah,
I guess he does.

Kelly, there's a
little corner of heaven,

a place where the mountains
and the lake and the sky

all come together

just like glass.

And there
on that mountaintop

someone is waiting for you.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Andrew:
You ready?

Jesse says,
"bring the rock."
