Hi!
Hello, hello.

Thanks, Lydia.
I hope I'm not too late.

No, not at all.

I'm actually glad
you're a little late.

Remember what I taught you
about being fashionably late?

Come on in.

Okay, now they are prepped
and ready for you, okay?

Don't be nervous.

You got this.

I have faith in you.

Ladies, our guest of honor
has arrived.

I would like to introduce
all of you to Ms. Unique gray.

Now, while she is not
our newest representative,

she is here to show us
some of our new seasonal line

as well as some
tried and true must haves.

So again, while she is not new,
this is her first product party.

So please give her
your full attention

and a bountiful
round of applause.

Thank you. Hello, ladies.

Thank you so much for allowing me to
introduce myself and our new products today.

Thank you for coming, girl.
You know you are the bestest!

Now let's get this thing started so I can
get my gifts for coming to this thing.

Now, if you ladies don't mind, I would like
to start with a prayer before we get started.

A prayer?

Girl, I didn't come here
to go to church.

I came here to get
my free products,

a bottle of satin hands,
the big one.

Yeah, girl. Listen, I am here for the
food, the goodies and the wine.

Okay?

Right.

Father god,

I thank you so much for these
beautiful sisters standing before me.

I thank you that each
and every one of them

got here safe, sound,
and without harm.

I thank you in advance

that they return to their dwellings,
families, and mates safe as well.

God, you must love me so much to be in the
presence of such strong, honorable women.

Amen.

I wish nothing but blessings
and favors in their lives,

to whatever dreams
and goals they may have.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, god, for making these
women the head and not the tail,

the lender, not the follower.

Let them know that you don't
need makeup to be beautiful.

They already are.

Now repeat after me, ladies.

I am beautiful.

I am beautiful.

No. Say it like you mean it.

I am beautiful.

Again.

I am beautiful.

Wait a minute.

I was just getting into that.
That's my jam.

I humbly thank you
in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

Amen.

Now, who wants to
buy some products?

- Yeah.
- Yes, girl!

- Hey, girl.
- Hey.

Girl, you now know I don't drink
and party and cuss like I used to.

Drink?

Girl, you ain't
seen drinking yet.

The night just started.

It's just a pre-game
for a pre-game.

- But you did good up there.
- Thanks.

Trying to get these uptight women up
here to buy things they don't need?

I couldn't do it. No, ma'am.

No, I'm not judging.

I used to be heavy in the life
and in the streets,

but not anymore.

Now I'm focused on my career
and getting ahead.

Girl, with a little
entrepreneurial spirit,

I like a go-get attitude.

That's why I came
when you invited us here.

Oh, I'm glad you came.

Of course, girl.

You look good.
Satin looks good and everything.

Thank you.

Hello, mother.

Well, how did it go?

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

Nick was supposed to come over
here, but, you know, he had to work,

so I stayed at home.

It went fine.
I sold a lot of product.

Okay.

Are you able to get
on the train or take an uber?

You know, I got the girls here

and I do not like to leave
them by themselves at night.

I understand, it's okay.

I'll make it work.

Unique, honey, what's wrong?

You just had the most
successful product party

and you look like you've got the
weight of the world on your shoulders.

Yes, ma'am. I'm fine.

That was just my ride
canceling on me.

Oh, no worries,
I'll take you home.

That's no problem.

No, that's okay.

I can walk.
The train is not that far.

No, ma'am. No, ma'am.

There is no way I'm going to let
you walk with all that stuff.

There's just no way.

You stay put, I'm gonna
go get my purse.

Okay? Stay put.

Okay.

That car's been running hot,
so you need to make sure you stop

and put some water in it
if it overheats.

And there's some oil in the
trunk if you need that too.

I already put gas in the car,
and now I've got to put oil in it, too?

Look, I'm letting you and your boys stay
here while you get yourself together.

And I'm letting you use my car.

How're you gonna complain?

'Cause I can let you walk.

Thank you. Miracle.
You're right.

Four wheels beat
two heels any day.

That's right.

And bring it back on time
so I can get to work.

I always bring it back on time.

There's a first for everything.

You're going to see one of your
trifling baby daddies,

ain't no telling
what's gonna happen.

Ain't nothing is gonna happen.

I'm just going to pick up
the child support he owe me.

Girl, you need to
take that jerk to court.

All this running around, collecting
money, like you're the sheriff?

That's not cute.

Come on, boys, let's go.

It's
your favorite station, 92.5.

- Hot.
- Really hot.

I'm sorry, babies.

Ain't anything I can do
about this heat.

When I borrowed
aunt miracle's car,

I forgot it had
no air conditioner.

I promise we won't
be long, okay?

Okay.

I just need to
go see Dante's daddy.

This is getting old.

Sweet Jesus, cover me with
your love and protection.

Which daddy are we
gonna see, mama?

We are gonna see big Dante.
That's Dante's daddy.

What about my daddy?
We never get to see my daddy.

Well, we can't right now,
we have to wait until he gets out.

How long is he
gonna be in the army, mama?

Army? Who told you your daddy is
in the army? He's not in the army.

- Grandmama told me, he was in the army.
- Dante!

Grandma was mistaken.

She made a mistake. He was not in the army.
He is in the marines.

Oh! The marines!

What about my daddy?
Is he in the marines too?

Well, sometimes when grown people
do things that aren't good things,

they have to
go away for a while.

It's like...

It's like time out
for grown-ups.

That boy needs a daddy?
I can be his daddy.

I can be his daddy,
you can be his mama,

we can make some
beautiful babies together.

Y'all stay by the car.

Don't lock it, remember?

You can't open it from the inside.
Don't lock yourselves in.

It's hot.

I told you I can't help that.

I'll be right back.

I need you to be
mama's big boys, okay?

No.

Now, watch your brothers
until I get back, okay?

Okay, mama, I can do that.

I know you can.

And you'll do a good job.

And when I come back,
we'll go get ice cream, okay?

Yay!

Can I please buy two ice-creams?

Don't lock it.

I'll be just a minute, okay?

Go take them, mama.

What's up, y'all?
What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up?

How you doin'?

Well, well, well.

I never expected
to see you here.

Well, he wouldn't come to me,
so I had to come to him.

Where is he?

How do you think
I'm supposed to know?

'Cause you are his boy.

You're never more than
two steps away from him.

That's why I call you two steps.

Where he at?

Follow me.

Oh damn.

Wait right here.

All right.

Hey, boo.

Don't call me that.

You used to like it.

I used to like a lot of things.

I used to be of the world.

I'm a woman of god now.

Washed in the blood of Jesus and
walking in the light of the right path.

Yeah, if you say so.

I say so and I mean it.

What can I do for you, boo?

You know why I'm here, Dante.

I need that child support
you owe me.

I owe you?

What them other players doing?

Don't worry about
them other players.

Worry about what you do
for your child.

You're looking good.

You got your hair did,
new clothes,

and you got your nails done.

I do all that with the money
I make from selling cosmetics.

I am doing okay.

But I got three boys,
and they need food and clothes and shoes.

Our own house.

Their own beds.

- My boys need more.
- My boys.

We're living with my sister,
sleeping on palettes in the back room.

That's not what I see for us.

Our boys? Our boys?

I have one boy with you and
you won't even let me see him.

Why would I let you see him if
all you got to show him is this?

This ain't what
I've seen for our boy.

But you want this money, right?

Come on, Dante.

Use this for my son.

Not the other two.
They got daddies.

I take care of all my boys.

That's why you came here, right?

Whatever.

I got your whatever.

Boy, stop.
I ain't got time for you.

Unique, we've always made
pretty babies.

You're silly. Everybody want
pretty babies.

And I got time for you.

I got three in the car
and I need to go.

Man, we got to go.

Hey, hey, let's get out of here.

I need to get to my boys.

- Unique.
- Dante.

- Unique!
- Come on!

No wait, unique!

I have to get to my boys.

Dante, my boys.

Freeze! Don't move!

Man, let me go. Unique!

Oh, there she is.

The Princess awakens.

Where am I?

Did I hit my head?

Yeah, while resisting arrest.

Resisting arrest?

What are you talking about?
Why would I be arrested?

Because it's
illegal to sell drugs.

I didn't... I don't sell drugs.

What is this on me?

All right, you were at a known drug
house with a known drug dealer.

If you weren't there
selling drugs,

buying drugs, or even doing
drugs, why were you there?

I was picking up
child support for my son.

Well, child support.

That's a new one.

No, really. I just went there
to pick up money.

Okay, okay, so let's say
that's the case.

You were there to pick up money
for "child support."

Why were you resisting arrest?

And why did the police
on the scene find drugs on you?

I didn't have drugs on me.

There was a foil wrapped package,
full of drugs, in your bag.

No, no, that was money.

Dante gave me money for his son.
For his school supplies and uniforms...

My baby is starting school
and he needs those things.

So where's your son now?

I mean, you've been here
for two days,

- and school started yesterday.
- Two days?

He was by the car
with his brothers.

Oh, my god.
Can you take this off?

Okay. Just calm down.

Where is this car?

I parked by the house.

I parked it around the corner
of the house.

I'll be right back.

Take this off.

This is detective Brad Davis
from 27.

Yeah, uh, I need to talk
to your supervisor.

Yes.

I don't know
where the hell unique is.

She's been gone two days.

Two!

I had to get the bus
to get to work.

Who is it?

Who is it?

I said, who the hell is it?

What the hell?

Girl, let me call you back.

Young lady, you're in
a lot of trouble.

You a lie. I ain't do nothing.
And I don't know nothing.

You're a piece of work.

Whatever.

You think you're
pretty tough, huh?

What gets me, is how you think
you can get away with it.

I done told you.
I didn't do nothing.

Oh really?

You think leaving three babies in
a hot car on a hot day is nothing?

What?

Oh, my god!

Are they? Are they?

What do you think?

Wait, where is my sister?

Your sister?
Who the hell is your sister?

I'm busy here.

So, let me get this right.

That woman in there
loaned her car to her sister.

Her sister then took it and those
babies to a known dope house

and left them in the car,
when it's hot enough to fry fish,

and she hasn't been seen since?

Pretty much.

She submitted a police report
three days ago,

that said that
her sister stole her car

and went to visit one of
the boy's father's house.

Does that missing sister
have a record?

No.

- This one?
- No.

So we got to let her go.

Yeah. We gotta let her go.

Where in the hell is that
damn irresponsible sister?

All right, listen up.

There is no car
with three little boys in it.

The place... where the place
you got caught buying drugs.

I told you
I wasn't buying drugs.

Okay.

I need you to help me out here.

Okay? I'm trying
to help you out,

so I need you to help me out.

Now, if you can help me,
take down Dante,

maybe, just maybe, I can get
your sentence lightened.

But I don't need you lying to me about
some fake boys that's in distress...

My boys are not fake!

Trying to get some
sympathy from me?

I mean, that's a lie
that can't be sustained.

- Come on now.
- I'm not lying.

Then where are the boys?

I don't know.

I don't know.
Maybe my sister got them.

I mean, she knew where I was going,
and she needs her car to get to work.

All right, so you have a sister?

All right. Give her a call.

I don't know her number.

Okay, put yourself in my shoes.

We pick you up
at a known drug house.

Okay? Resisting arrest,
with a bag full of drugs.

Then you send me on some wild goose
chase out here looking for some boys

who don't even frikkin' exist.

They exist!

Then you claim you got a sister,

that you want to call,

but you don't know her number.

Doesn't that sound kind of
suspicious to you?

She got a new phone.

I don't know the number.

It's in my phone.
Can I get my phone?

You know what? You want a lot.

But you gotta give to get.

And right now you've given me
nothing I can use.

I need to talk to my sister.

You know what?
People in hell need ice water.

I'll be back.

Father god, I need
your help on this one.

Lord, help me to be right
about this woman.

I do not believe that she's some

misguided soul out here,
selling drugs and doing drugs.

But, father god, the evidence.

The evidence is
so strong against her.

My gut tells me
that she's innocent.

Please, god, let me be
right about this one.

Let me be right.

As soon as I get off today,

I'm gonna stop by the store,
pick up some ice cream,

maybe we could have the boys
over, give unique a break.

That would be nice, but I haven't
heard from unique in a couple of days.

And she was supposed to have
a cosmetic demonstration for me

and some of the ladies
at the church.

It's not like her
to space out like that.

I know. She has been better
at being a woman of her word

ever since she got saved
and started her own business.

Did you call her?

Of course I called her.

Her not showing up
is a direct reflection on me,

and I have a stellar reputation
at new day baptist church.

You have a stellar reputation
wherever you go, baby.

And that's why you love me.

Babe, let me call you
right back.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

What do we... excuse me.

What do we have here?

Three little boys.

Someone abandoned them in a car.

My god - it's awful.

Whoever did this
is gonna burn in hell.

I pray they didn't suffer long,
but I know they did suffer.

Mm-hmm.

Excuse me,

I'm detective Davis.

Are these kids?

Yeah, it always seems worse
when it's babies.

Oh, my goodness.

- You mind if I look?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my god.

We see this more times than we
should and it never gets any easier.

Where's the mother?

Don't know. We got
dispatched through 911.

Not our first time
there, though.

Last time it was for an overdosed
junkie in the middle of a stairwell.

Were the bodies found
on hipner street?

Yes, sir. In an abandoned car.

I know these boys.

I know these kids.

They're my girlfriend's
grandbabies.

Excuse me, gentlemen.
I need to get these bodies to the morgue.

This ain't happening.

All right, detective.
No need to be over-zealous.

We need to go easy on this one.

I don't think she took it easy on
those three kids that died, detective.

Just do it right, man. Proper.

Why should we show her
that same respect?

Just do it proper, detective.

All right, fellows,
we discussed this.

We can do it better.

Unique emerald gray,
you are under arrest.

What's going on?

We discussed this.

Detective, I have three
dead kids on my hands.

I'm not concerned about her
emotions nor coddling her motives.

She's been here two days.

Three dead kids?
What are you saying?

- Read her rights.
- You have the right to remain silent.

What's going on?

Anything you say can and will
be used against you in a court of law.

Where are my boys?

Your boys are dead, dead, dead.

You're lying!

Listen, unique, they found
your boys dead in the car.

- I don't believe you.
- Let's go. Get out of here.

Why are you doing this to me?

Hey, where are you going?

Not your business.

You know, everybody needs
a friend in here.

Especially you.

My friends list is full.

Play it that way.

Sooner or later,
you're gonna need a friend.

Benson.

Yeah, okay. I'll go get her.

Gray.

You have a visitor.

Tell her to go away.

It's not a her. It's a them.

And both of them
claim to be your mama.

You got two mommies, girl?

I don't recall this being
any of your business, inmate.

Stay in your Lane.

I just said what
you was thinking.

You instigating is what
you're doing.

I'm not going to have
to tell you this again.

Let's go.

Unique has two mommies.

It's not even like that.
Who are you anyways?

Well roomie, when you get back,

you tell me
which one breasted you

and who is the good mommy
and who is the bad mommy.

Unique has two mommies.

Unique has two mommies.

Unique has two mommies.

Ladies, we have a problem.

If you two are not her mothers,
but both of you are her mother,

we have a problem.

I'm unique emerald
gray's mother.

I am unique emerald
gray's mother.

Well, I'm no science teacher, but I
know a person can only have one mother.

Which one of you is it?

It's complicated.

No, it's not.

I raised that girl and I'm
the woman that she calls mama.

I gave birth to that girl.

Then you threw her away.

It wasn't like that.

Oh yeah, what was it like?

It's complicated.

It's not complicated at all.

You laid with a man,

you get pregnant, you had a
baby, you raise the baby.

Not complicated at all.

You don't know me.

I don't need to know,
I know the girl I raised,

and I know the woman
she has become.

As entertaining
as this has been,

and as entertaining as I know
it's going to be,

I don't have time to play
word games with you two.

I'm just going to go ask the
inmate who she wants to see.

- I love unique.
- And I love unique.

I was young,

I was lost.

I hadn't seen the light
or found my path.

I hadn't been touched by god or been
washed in the blood of the lamb.

When I gave up unique,
I did what I had to do.

It was the best at the time
for the both of us.

No, it wasn't the best.
It was just the easiest.

You can't judge me harder
than I can judge myself.

You can't even
hold it against me

harder than I can
hold it against myself.

Now, I lost unique.

But god, in his infinite wisdom,

gave me another chance
with those two beautiful girls.

And I will not make a mistake.

Satan is behind me now.

Well, Satan might be
behind you now.

But he is in front of unique

and she got a fight on her hand

that's going to take
all of our strength

and all of our prayers and all
of our love to help her win.

Well, she's made up her mind
who she'd like to see.

It's her.

Hello, baby, how are you?

They're dead, mommy.

My babies are dead.

Guard. Guard.

Ma'am, I want you to calm down.

How can I calm down?

You got my baby in handcuffs
like she's a natural born killer.

She is!

She left them babies
in the car and in the heat.

Girl, it's your...
Oh-ho-ho, I can't.

Young lady, I don't know you,
but so help me god,

you better keep my daughter's
name out of your mouth.

Your daughter?
Your daughter's name is all over TV.

So I ain't gotta say it.

So I ain't gotta say Jack.

- I don't have to.
- Why's...

TV? Why would my name be on TV?

The story made the news, baby.

What are they saying about me?

You a killer.
You know what you did.

- Oh, my god!
- I will come in here...

Ma'am, I suggest if you don't want
to be behind bars like your daughter,

you better come with me.

But that woman over there
harassing me and my child.

You punishing me?
That's not fair.

Life ain't fair.

Ask those little boys.

You biased and that's why you
letting that woman harass us.

That's enough!

Why?

Why have you forsaken me?

Sweet Jesus.

What did I do to deserve this?

Has my past caught up with me?

Am I being punished?

I know that this is
my fault, father god.

I know it is.

But you have to know I wasn't
in that house backsliding.

I wasn't buying drugs,

or up to any shenanigans.

I was just there
to get child support.

No, no, god,

it wasn't worth it.

No amount of money
would have been worth it.

This is my fault.

My greed cost me my children

and all I wanted
was child support.

I deserve to be here.

Even if it means being here
for the rest of my life.

What are you staring at?

Stalker.

Don't flatter yourself.

You ain't all that.

So what's your story?

You know all my business.

What about you?

So,

there was this girl I knew,

in love with this guy.

One day,

he asked her to
prove her love for him.

So he asked her to
deliver a package.

Thing was,

she had to swallow the package
to make the delivery.

You know? So she wouldn't
get caught carrying it.

Problem was,

the girl got real sick,

'cause one of the packages
blowed up inside her.

She woke up in handcuffs, and...

The doctor told her that,
the package that almost killed her,

killed the baby

she ain't know she was carrying.

Then what happened?

She lost her baby,

she lost her freedom,

she lost the guy.

What happened to the guy?

Cousins found him.

She ain't seen or heard
nothing else from him.

I'm sorry.

Three little boys,

three precious souls,

losing their lives
in broad daylight,

whilst their mother
unique emerald gray

was in that house

over there buying drugs.

Three boys, two days,
excessive heat...

And neighborhood indifferent.

This is Maria reporting live
from wdbn.

Who is it?

Girl, why didn't
you use your key?

I don't know.
I'm just so discombobulated.

What's going on?

She chose her, mama,
she chose her.

Who chose who?

Unique. She chose
that woman over me.

I Don t know what you're saying.

I went to see unique,

but when I got there, there was another
woman there saying that she was her mother.

I don't understand.

It was korica,
her adoptive mother.

Only one of us could go in and
see her and unique chose her.

She chose her to talk to.

I have to go
back there tomorrow.

But when I get there and that woman
is there, she might choose her again.

And I would have
wasted another day.

Baby,

it's not a waste, if you do
what god has led you to do.

What did god lead you to do?

God led me to see her.

And to be there for her.

God led me to do what's right.

Then you don't have to
think about it.

You just have to do it.

If that means going to see your child
every day, then you go see your child.

If she decides to pick korica,

then you will be there
when she decides to pick you.

Sweetheart, this is not
about hurt feelings anymore.

Because all your hurt feelings
won't bring back those boys.

Baby,

you have your freedom.

You have two beautiful girls

and a man that loves you.

You have so much.

But right now,

unique, she has so very little.

Oh, my baby.

I know. I know.

Come here, sweetheart.

It's okay.

It's all right.
It's going to be okay.

It was only after the car
sat here for two days

that one concerned citizen

made the call
to the authorities.

Even though they have captured the
neglectful, drug-taking mother,

sources say, that the father of one of
the boys was the leader of a drug ring...

How are you doing, big man?

It's been on all day.

You might need to eat something
to keep up your strength.

My son is dead!

Both him and his
brothers are dead.

I know me and unique
wasn't together no more,

but they're making it seem like
she's some cracked out chicken head.

That's bullshit right there.

I don't know whether
she gonna get more time

for carrying the drugs
or the boys.

She had more drugs on her
than you usually carry.

I gave her the wrong package.

It was supposed to be the money.

Accidents happens.

My son is dead.

Accidents happens, man.

Did you guys see what she did?

She actually killed her kids.

She left them in a car.

Oh, my god!
How can you do that to kids?

- They're just boys.
- Who leaves their kids in the car?

Exactly. Who would do that?

She deserves to burn.

Oh yeah. She needs to go.

Yes, absolutely.

That is insane.

How are you just sitting
here, just calm, like...

It'll come,
whatever is supposed to come to her.

Karma is gonna hit her hard.

Definitely hit her.

Lord,
I know that by no means am I worthy

to be in you, but my god...

I thank you
that I'm not what I used to be.

A might long way, god.

That's where you
brought me from.

A mighty long way.

Are you talking
to god again, mommy?

Yes.

You talk to god,
does he ever talk back?

You know what he said?

What'd he say?

He said, if these boys of yours
don't brush their teeth,

wash their faces
and get ready for bed,

I want you to
tickle them to death.

Where's your foot?

Girl, I told you when
I let y'all move in here

that it needs to be
quiet in here at night

so that I can get up
and go to work in the morning.

I'm sorry, miracle.

Boys, tell your aunt miracle,
we're sorry.

Sorry.

Y'all ain't sorry.
Y'all just loud.

Inmate gray, get up!

Grab your stuff.
You're being transferred.

Transferred? Where am I going?

Women's correctional facility.

I haven't even had my trial yet.

Not my rodeo, not my bull.

Just grab your things.

I haven't been here long.
I don't have anything.

Then you should be ready to go.

Never say
I never gave you nothing.

Thank you.

You were right.

I did need a friend in here.

I won't forget.

I promise I'll stay in touch.

You better, and don't thank me.

It's what I do.

By the way, I ain't write
all that stuff on the first one.

I understand
some things sometimes.

Ladies and...

We're here at your new
home away from home.

I need you to stand up

and exit the bus in an
orderly and timely fashion.

That includes you, sunshine.

I don't feel good.

What's the matter?

Stomach? Nauseating?

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, I can help you with that.

Here in my left pocket,

I have a can of
no one gives a shit.

No one gives a shit,

if you feel good or not.

No one gives a shit,

if you puke your head off.

No one gives
a Kentucky fried shit about you.

All we care about is
you getting your black ass up

and off my bus.

Let's go. Come on.

What are you doing?

Now you know that you're
going to clean that shit up,

with your shirt.

Hey. Yeah.

Come on in here.
Let's see what you got.

I don't have anything.

Oh, we'll find out.
We'll be the judge of that. Now strip.

Strip?

Yeah, strip.

Take it all off.

This ain't your
annual gynecology exam.

We're a little more
thorough up in here.

Now strip.

Everything?

Everything.

Everything.

Come on. Come on.

You're moving mighty slow
for crackhead baby killer.

Today, sis. Today.

Oh, tears.

Aw! Mm.

My babies.

Look at the crackhead killer crying.
Girl... hah!

I ain't got time for this.
No, you're taking too long.

No, mm-mm, no.

Come on, you got to go out. Out!

- Let's go. Let's go.
- Come on!

Get in there.

Take your shower. Now!

Move.

You stink.

Killed your kids.
Got a nerve to be crying.

Stinking murderer.

I'd be crying too. You stink.

No sympathy for you.

She gotta take a shower.
Let's go.

Hurry up. You got two minutes.

On behalf of new day
missionary baptist church

you have our thoughts,
our prayers and our sympathy.,

no one can imagine the pain that you and
your family are experiencing right now.

Thank you, sister Paige.

It's a stressful time for us.

The television is saying such
terrible things about my baby.

And I'm afraid people
will believe it.

I'm afraid she won't
get a fair trial.

I need the church to help me
to find a good lawyer,

who isn't swayed by public opinion
and will do everything to get her off.

Mm-hmm.

She has already
been through so much.

Of course, of course, I already
talked to the pastor about it.

The church elders,
they agreed, also.

Unique is one of us now.

Ever since she
left those streets,

and joined our church,

she's one of us.

You know, it's hard,
when someone

of the world,
gives up worldly things,

- and chooses to follow Christ.
- Amen.

Sorry, I'm not gonna be
able to honor your request.

But why not?

Ms. Gray, you're responsible for
the death of three little boys.

In the eyes of the law,
you're a murderer.

In the court of public opinion,
you're the worst type of offender.

I cannot in good conscience
allow you to attend a funeral.

But, your honor...

I'm a warden, not a judge.

Well you're judging me now and
I haven't even had my trial yet.

The facts are the facts.

Please, your honor... warden.

My boys were all I had.

It was for them that I went to that
house to get the child support.

You know, that story
doesn't sound convincing,

no matter how many times
you tell it.

It's the truth.

And truth be told,
I will not bend,

I will not fold,
I will not be moved.

You call yourself
a Christian, right?

Surely you can appreciate my steadfast
beliefs and adherence to the rules.

Are you a Christian?

No, I'm a warden.
Are you a Christian?

I was.

Well, maybe one day we can sit
and discuss your fall from grace.

No, warden, you and I have
nothing else to talk about.

I haven't dismissed you yet.

What are you gonna do?
Put me in jail?

It's a shame I had to meet her
under these circumstances.

This is the part of my job
that I do not look forward to,

especially under
these circumstances.

Three little angels.

Dante Jr.,

Javion,

and kajarvis.

I'd like to introduce to you.

Pastor Williams who will
lead us in prayer.

Lord, we come now

at this most difficult time,

understanding, god, that.

You are the author
and finisher of our faith.

So, god, certainly you know,

what is going on and what this
family is going through right now.

Three young boys

that you chose to
call home to glory.

God, we come

with many not understanding why.

So, god, these families
need you right now,

like never before.

God, you promised to be our
comforter in our time of need.

So, lord, right now,

in the name of Jesus,

we come calling upon
your holy and righteous name,

praying, o god, that you would
saturate these families with peace.

That you would touch
their hearts

and remind them that
you are still their god.

God, it's hard.

Don't know how
we're going to make it.

Because we know that
you're able to see us through.

Lord, we just thank you

for how you've blessed.

Thank you for how you've kept.

And we thank you
for what you're going to do.

We bless your mighty name.

Let the church say.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Oh, god.

Mm, thank you.

It was a beautiful funeral.

Yeah, you did a good job
getting everything together.

Mm. I still can't believe that the
warden wouldn't let my baby out of jail.

They still think she was buying
drugs while my grandsons died.

Justice will be served.

Well, I have to
believe that justice,

goodness and righteousness
will prevail.

But time and time again,
the system failed us.

We see that justice is just us.

And I don't want my grandbabies

deaths reduced to a hashtag.

It was a horrible accident.

And all our lives
have changed because of it.

But unique has suffered
more than anybody can imagine.

Justice could be merciful.

And I pray that one day soon
she can join us here.

Yeah, I don't have to have children in
order to understand your feelings on this.

You a good man, Nick.

Ooh, I still can't believe I had
doubts about marrying you.

What?

I said I had, not have.

What?

You had your doubts
about marrying me?

How could you say that?

I stood by you
through this entire ordeal,

and before that,
I waited patiently

while you struggled with
being true to your faith

and being intimate with me.

I've accepted
parts of you, loraine,

when I wanted and needed
and deserved all of you,

I think you need to decide

what you want from me,

because I know what
I want from you.

And like I said,
a part of you ain't it.

Nick.

Nick?

Where are you going?

Nick.

Nick.

Where are you going?

As your attorney,
I have to advise you

that what you want to do

is not in your best interest.

I know the church hired you
and I really appreciate it.

You're way better than
the public defender I had.

But you still work for me
and I've made up my mind.

Pleading guilty to causing the
death of your boys is not smart.

It was an accident.

We all know it was an accident.

The only reason why they
are throwing the book at you

is because of where
the boys were found.

This is a mistake, unique.

I've already made the biggest
mistake I could possibly make.

I chose to leave my boys.

I chose to go to that house.

I did that.

I know there's a hell,
because this place is hell.

Let me tell you what I know.

I am very good at what I do.

Let me help you.

Do you know how many
black women are in here

with extended sentences for
possessing small amount of crack?

I mean, the amount of no larger
than two pennies.

I had thirty grams of crack,
and two hundred pills on me.

I'll get more time for possessing
the drugs that I didn't sell

than for the murder of my kids.

My babies lives are worth
less than an envelope.

So I don't care
what y'all think.

I just need you to plead me out
and I don't care which one.

I don't feel like fighting.

I understand how you feel.

No, you don't.

You have your freedom.

Ye of little faith.

Ms. Gray.

Ms. Gray.

Whatever you're selling,
I ain't buying.

I'm here to talk to you
about your sister.

I don't have nothing to say.

I'm her attorney and I wanted to talk
to you about being a character witness.

Can't some of those good Christian
people down from the church do that?

I'm too mad at her
to be a character witness.

Why are you mad at her?

Lady,

I don't have time
for none of this.

Unique borrowed my car and drove
it down to the crack house.

She went to see that deadbeat,

when I told her to take
his trifling butt to court.

They still have my car in the
impound, and I can't get it back

because they're saying it's a
part of the crime investigation.

I missed two days of work

because I keep going back
and forth to that jail

and she won't see me.

I have to catch a ride

because I don't have
a car anymore.

And all of this
is unique's fault.

Hi.

Hi.

- Mrs. Middleton?
- Yes.

Nice to meet you.
My name's janai Rodriguez.

- We spoke on the phone?
- Yes.

Please come in.

Have a seat.

Mrs. Middleton,
thank you for having me.

Oh, it's nothing. I'm actually
happy you called me.

I'd love to be
a character witness for unique.

She was such a hard-working
and dedicated soldier.

Ever since she got saved
and turned her life around,

none of the women in my charge
worked as hard as she did.

She moved her product and she
was finally making some leeway.

Were you aware of her buying,
selling, or using drugs?

Of course not.

She was high on life.

There was no room in her heart.

There was no room in her spirit
for anything, but her three boys.

God bless their hearts.

And the word of Jesus.

They're saying such horrible,
horrible things about her.

Making all kinds of assumptions.

That's very UN-Christian like.

Would you be willing to
say this in court?

In court?

Honey, I'll scream it
from the mountaintops.

Hey, bro.

You seen this guy?

I don't know that man,
and I ain't seen him.

I didn't ask if you knew him,
I asked if you've seen him.

No and no.

All right, look here.

You're not answering my question
correctly, which gives me pause.

Man, I don't care if that gives you pause.
I don't know that man.

All right, really?
Assume the position.

- I ain't did nothing.
- Come on, come on.

Come on.

See, you're mouth
is saying one thing,

but your body language and your
whole reaction, says another.

And right now, everything about you
is making my spidey-sense tingle.

And I'm a man who
follows his instinct.

All I know is, you taking me in
and I ain't did nothing.

Of course, we're just going down
to the station to talk. Let's move.

- We can talk right here.
- Nope.

I know he's a good man, mama.
I know.

It's just that sometimes
we need to know who we are.

So that, other people can believe in
us and the goodness we have to share.

Nicholas is a good man.

And I'm a good woman.

But until I can reconcile that
I deserve that goodness,

The two of us can't be together.

I needed this time

to focus on unique

and give her all that
I have to give.

Nicholas is going to
have to wait.

I know that.

And you're feeling some kind of way
because you weren't always there for her.

And then seeing that woman that raised
her, sent you over the edge.

But, unique is in a different
kind of head space.

Now that's the space
you can't get next to.

She's going to trial.

And she might end up
going away for a long time.

Baby, you can't punish yourself

and hold off on your happiness
out of some misguided guilt

because your emotions
are running amok.

Oh...

I love Nicholas. I really do.

But I can't let my love for him

get in the way of me
trying to save unique

from a fate she doesn't deserve.

If Nick is the man
that I think he is,

he'll understand that
and he'll wait on me.

Sometimes, my dear, you have to put
your feelings and your happiness

to the forefront.

I mean, love doesn't always
wait for us to get it together.

You know, especially,

when there are a lot other those
single, hungry women at church

dying to experience just
a sliver of what you have.

What are you saying, mother?

I'm saying, everyone that says
that they are a Christian,

is not.

Well, I am. And although Nick
is of the world...

Hmm.

He knows that I'm a Christian.

He knows what I was,
and he knows what I am.

Be that as it may,

many good Christian women
have lost their men

because they can't figure out
when to be a Christian.

Well, I'm always a Christian.

Oh, I am too,

but then after your father
died, I decided to stay single.

Uh, no offense, mother, but we're coming
from two totally different places.

I hear you.

And I am honored to have a daughter
strong in her faith and convictions.

You make me so proud.

But I pray, sweetheart,
you don't make me right.

Okay?

Okay, bye-bye.

See what happens when you don't
bring my car back on time.

Oh, my god, unique.

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm sorry about your car.

I don't care about that car.

You don't have to lie to me.

I know you loved that car.

Not as much as
you loved those boys.

Stop crying.

We can't talk if you're crying.

Can't we get the guards to give
you some tissue or something?

I can't stand looking
at the snot.

Guard, can my sister
get some tissue?

Keep getting loud and you're
gonna end up in here too.

You ain't gotta be nasty.

My sister just needs
some tissue, that's all.

No tissues for baby killers.

You had to go there.

It's okay.

They can't do that.

She can't talk to you like that.

They all talk to me like that.

Some of them
whisper under their breath.

Some of them not so shy.

Baby killer, murderer,

unfit mother,

I hear it all day every day.

They can't do that.

This is prison.

They can and will keep doing it.

At first it got to me,
I mean, really got to me.

But then I realized,

they're right.

I am an unfit mother.

I deserve this hell I'm in.

Don't beat yourself
up like that.

At first I was mad.

I was angry.

It's a raggedy car.

But it was my car.

And it ran,
it kept me off the bus.

It got me to and from work.

But when I didn't have the car,
I realized how much I liked it.

It was my first car
and it was mine.

When they gave it back to me,
I didn't even want it.

I couldn't.

I can't drive it.

I'm still catching rides.

You might as well
go ahead and drink it,

we already have your prints,
and we know who you are.

It's not your
first rodeo, Clarence little.

That's the name my mama gave me.

Why did Dante give
unique the drugs?

Man, I don't know
what you talking about.

Can I get a sandwich
to go with this soda?

You interrupted me before I
got a chance to finish my lunch

and a fella get a little peaky

when I don't eat on the regular.

I'm sure I can
send somebody out.

- Roast beef sound good to you?
- No.

I'm cutting back on red meat.
Turkey is fine.

Mm-hmm. Sure I can
take care of that for you.

Chips? Potato salad?

All that.

Yeah, all that.

- And a pickle too.
- Oh, a pickle?

Do you want two of everything
to go with that order?

Because there was
two sandwiches in your bag.

I got a big appetite.

Right.

All right, and while we
wait on those sandwiches,

let's talk.

I don't talk that much.
You go right ahead. I'll listen.

Well,

no need beating around the bush.

I didn't think you would.

You don't seem
like that type of a man.

Oh, you can read me that well?

Yeah, like an open Bible.

Some people are closed off.

Others show their hand

while holding their other hand
behind their back

with a knife in it.

Well, people like you,

they come at you all clean,
saying read me.

I pride myself
on reading people.

Oh, you know, me too.

You know, I rely on
my instinct and my gut.

Just like I know
you know where Dante is.

And my gut tells me.

Unique emerald gray

was in the wrong place at the wrong
time, and she got caught up.

And it was a horrific thing
what happened to her kids.

Nothing to be locked up for.

So you're right.

Oh, so you do know the people
I'm talking about.

Nah, brother,

the only thing I know
is what I see on the news.

And that girl's name
and face has been all over it.

Even had the nerve
to have pictures

of those three little boys
smiling and looking so angelic.

It was a shame.

A crying shame.

But if you ask me,
it was popo's fault,

charging up in there, slamming that girl
against the wall so hard, she fell out.

Excessive force.

Police brutality.

All that is the reason
why them boys are dead.

Here's your lunch.

Thank you.

I like a good sandwich.

Enjoy that sandwich.
I'll be right back.

Like you said,

don't take too long.

Like I said, this ain't
my first rodeo.

So if you ain't
holding me with nothing

or charging me with anything,

I'm out of here as soon as
I finish my lunch.

Oh, one more thing,

how do you know she was
thrown up against the wall?

This is janai Rodriguez.

Yes, pastor,
thank you so much for calling.

We're putting together character
witnesses for my client,

unique emerald gray.

And having someone of your
standing in the community

vouch for her
would mean so much.

Yes, of course,
I can meet you after service.

You want me to come to service?

Sure, sure.

Yep, I certainly can.

Thank you so much.

It's a beautiful day
here at new day. Amen.

Amen.

Now you know how we do it here.

Turn to your neighbor,
one that you don't know,

introduce yourself and say,
I am blessed and highly favored.

How about you?

I am blessed and highly favored.
How about you?

I'm Bradley. Bradley Davis.

Janai Rodriguez.

I'm blessed and highly favored.
How about you?

Likewise.

Now, today, I am not
going to preach. Mm-mm.

Today I would like to
talk to you.

Today we are going to have an intimate
conversation about forgiveness.

But not forgiving someone
for wronging you,

but forgiving ourselves
for being human.

And making mistakes,
bad choices, and bad decisions.

Even if those bad choices and bad
decisions have life-altering consequences.

Even if those bad choices
and bad decisions are hard.

Even if they are wrong,

today is about owning our part

in all of the dirt and grime
and ugliness

that is the aftermath
of our choices.

In order to move forward,
we must forgive ourselves for being human

and sometimes weak.

Like I said,
I'm not preaching today.

We're going to talk

about our famous brother job,

and all of his trials
and tribulations

that he experienced.

And how his experience

is being mirrored
in our dear sister,

unique emerald gray.

But unlike job, her choices are
being played out in the media,

and she is being judged
before she is rightfully judged.

And I'll give to you the thought

that it is just possible

that she has sunken so low,
into the depths of self-doubt

that she is unable
to forgive herself.

That she has sunken so low into a place
where she cannot see the light of day.

Let alone the love of Jesus.

Forgiveness.

That is what I am talking
to you about today.

Forgiveness.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Hi, that was
an incredible sermon, pastor

I'm janai Rodriguez.

Um, I spoke to you
about my client, unique.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Those were very touching words, and and
they really, really touched my heart.

I wish unique was here
to hear them.

And by only hearing them,
she would have her burden lifted.

You Ms. Gray's lawyer?

Yes.

I'm detective Davis.
I'm the lead investigator in her case.

Well, I see you two have met.

Yes, we were sitting next to
each other during your sermon.

Well, I said I wasn't preaching
today, but won't he do it?

Why don't we go in and break
bread and figure out a strategy?

Come on.

My brother, I heard
the popo got you.

He ain't had nothing,
he was just fishing.

But he is showing your picture
all over the place.

My picture?

Yeah, the ones you do know,

ain't saying nothing.

The ones you don't,

well, I think it's best
we get out of dodge.

That's right.

What's this?

It's your stuff.

I was gonna drop it off
at your baby mama's house.

You know, when you got out,

I put a little something-something
in there for you too.

I don't understand.

This thing with unique,
I've been thinking,

we done done some dirt.

I can't change the past.

I can't bring the boys back.

But I can help unique.

This decision, my friend,

is something I had to make.

What you saying?

Dawg, I'm saying,

it's time you dust off
that electrician license.

What you gonna do?

I don't know yet,

but I'll figure something out.

Yeah, sometimes a man gotta do

what a man gotta do.

Yeah.

Unique, it's so good to see you.

I have great news.

Did you get the deal?

How much time I'm getting
for the murder of my babies?

I went to your church home
and I spoke with your pastor,

and I have so many statements from people
that want to be character witnesses.

In addition, Bradley, I mean,
detective Davis feels as I do,

that the police used excessive
force and that caused your injury

and you weren't able to alert anyone
that the boys were in the car.

If you don't do what I say,
I can fire you, right?

Technically, you didn't hire me.

Your mom did.

I can still fire you.
I saw it on TV.

I know how you feel.

You do not.

I am sorry.

I can only imagine how you feel.

I can only imagine that
you're beating yourself up

for what happened to the boys.

But you can't keep doing this.

You have to go on.
You have to keep on.

There is so much to live for.

And if I have it my way,
you won't be doing it in here.

We just need one more win.

We just need someone to say that you
weren't in that house to buy drugs.

I said it. My sister said it.

We need someone in the house.

Unfortunately, most
of the people got away

and the others were not
in such good shape.

They couldn't corroborate that you
were there not to buy drugs, but

we have three more weeks

and that's still time for us
to get someone to testify.

All right, I'll give you
three weeks.

But if you can't find anybody who can admit
that I wasn't in that house to buy drugs,

we will go with my plan.

I'm tired, beaten.
I can't keep going like this.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No, you go ahead.

I'm sorry.

I was coming by tonight
when I finished my rounds.

I didn't like the way
we parted last.

I was coming by to fix it.

I don't like the way
things ended either.

I was coming by
to say, let's talk.

Well, however it ended,

it won't happen again
like that again.

- Hmm.
- I love you,

and I want to be with you

and whatever issues we have,
we need to discuss them.

I agree.

Well, I got to go back
and finish my rounds,

but I'll be back tonight
and we can work out anything.

I love you

and I want to fight
for this relationship.

We worked it out, mother.

We worked it out.

Me and Nick.

Yeah.

He's not going anywhere.

He's the man that god sent me.

We were meant to be together.

So I'm going to stop
doubting the word of god.

Hallelujah!

Praise god!

Prayer answered.

You know, god is good.

All the time.

All the time.

Yeah, god is good.

Amen.

He surely is.

I love you, mom.

I love you too.

Aww.

Oh, that's so good.

So, so good.

What's going on?

It's been like this
ever since channel two

did that story on the
baby killer this morning.

The phone is ringing nonstop

and those people
just keep coming.

That baby killer is my daughter.

Well, maybe you should have done
a better job of raising her,

and she wouldn't be in here.

I don't appreciate your tone.

And I don't appreciate
all the double work I get

whenever we have some kind
of celebrity inmate.

I think I need to talk
to your superior.

Well, honey, you're going to
have a long wait

because my superior is god.

Your earthly superior.

Honey, my boss
is outside with that crowd.

So do you want to
see the baby killer,

or do you want to wait
on my boss to get back in here?

I will see my daughter

then I'll have a conversation
with your boss.

Really?

Well...

Looks like you're going
to have to come back tomorrow.

She has had her maximum number
of visitors for today.

Are you kidding me?

Bye. No, I am not.

I... I think...

I think we got off
on the wrong...

I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

I mean, look,
I apologize for anything

that I did to play
a part in that.

I've driven a long way.

And I'm tired of all this attention,
and I'm tired of the grief.

You just lost
your grandbabies, huh?

Yes.

I've got three babies

and I have never left
one in the car.

Ever.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to let you back there.
All right?

Thank you.

- God bless you.
- You welcome. God bless you.

Yeah, sending one back.

Yeah, just one.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

You would have been
so proud of your mama.

Mom, that lawyer you got me
is doing her own thing.

She isn't listening to me.

What are you saying?

She doesn't want me to confess
to the boys' murder.

Why would you do that?
That doesn't make any sense.

Why would you do
something like that?

It's the smartest thing.

I just want to
get this over with.

We are working on
getting you no charges.

There will be charges.

Just because I'm in here doesn't mean
I don't know what's going on out there.

Unique, you sound hopeless.

You sound faithless.
What about your faith?

That's what sustains us.

That's easy to say
on that side of the table.

It's on this side
where it's hard.

No, no, no, no.

When you have faith,
you have it.

All you need
is a little bit of it.

With a little bit of faith,

an ant can move a mountain.

I know, because I have had a
faithless life and a faith filled one.

In my faith filled life,

I have had

the girls,

Nick,

and you.

That's what faith did for me.

Now I call myself a Christian,
because I am one.

But you can't call yourself a
Christian, if you're only one, when...

Things are convenient and easy.

Trust me on this, unique.

Trust me.

It's me, lord.

I know it's been a while
since we last spoke.

I didn't want to talk to you.

I felt alone and abandoned.

I felt like
when I needed you the most,

you weren't here for me.

I wanted to give up
and rot in here.

But my family,

biological and church,

even miracle,

they tell me that
you're still with me.

I will take them by their word.

Whatever your will, I'll abide.

I just need a sign.

Just give me a sign.

I just need a sign.

I'm here to see detective Davis.
Tell him Dante is here.

Okay, sure.

Detective Davis, you have
a visitor to see you.

Name is Dante.

Okay, sure.

He'll be right out.

Someone here to see me?

Me.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I didn't expect to be here.

Before we begin, let me reiterate
that my client is here of his own volition.

And that the prior deal
is still in play.

Now, if there's no questions,

my client will proceed.

Can I have some water?

Unique didn't do drugs.

She barely drank.

You know, the sweet stuff with the
little umbrellas, lots of fruit,

that was her jam.

Anyway, we were
supposed to meet up.

I was supposed to
give her some child support.

Um...

She was always working,
and I was always busy.

She said she was going to
stop by and come get it.

I was trying to convince her,
you know, to get one more time.

But she was going on
about being saved and how.

God didn't want her
going in reverse.

Whatever the hell that means.

I gave her a package.

The wrong package.

I didn't know about it
until I saw it on TV.

Those were my drugs.

Not unique's.

And the only reason she didn't say
nothing about the boys in the car,

is 'cause y'all slammed her
up against the wall.

She passed out.

The mother of my son,

was passed out on the floor,

and I ran.

I just left her.

It never dawned on me to

go back and check
on the boys in the car.

So, that is on me as well...

There.

I finally said it out loud.

Those baby deaths,

are on my hands as well.

If I had

given her the right package,

if we had met somewhere else,

if I just went outside to talk to
her, instead of having her come in,

things could have gone
a lot differently.

Are we done?

I believe we're done.

I need you to come with me.

Where are we going?
It's too early for visitors.

The warden wants to see you.

Ms. Gray, the last time
we spoke,

I asked you
if you were a Christian.

I'm not sure if you came to a conclusion
yet, but today is your lucky day.

What are you talking about?

What do you want from me now?

Look, if you put that attitude
on the shelf, I'll tell you.

So, apparently,
something happened.

He's confessed.
He gave her the wrong package.

All rise

for the honorable
judge chambers.

You may all be seated.

- District attorney larue.
- Your honor.

Attorney Rodriguez,

and Ms. Gray.

This has been a very
difficult situation for all.

Whereas you made
a very poor judgment call,

I do not believe that you
had malice in your heart

or you were there to do anything
other than what you said.

Now we have all

been made aware
of the impropriety

that has been going on
with our police department.

I am very aware that

the officers involved
used excessive force.

Just because it has not
come out in the public yet,

please know, I'm quite aware.

Like a statement
my grandmother used to say,

every closed eye ain't sleep

and every goodbye ain't gone.

We know what's going on.

And it's that excessive force
that caused your injury

and indirectly caused
the deaths of your children.

Leaving you incarcerated
serves no purpose.

You will have
the unfortunate task

of living with
your mistake forever.

And the internal feeling of a parent
who has outlived her children.

This is something that no parent
wishes on any other parent.

Nonetheless,

the circumstances show,

that you have paid
your debt to society.

What? Your honor.

In more ways than one.

You've paid a great cost.

So today, we hereby
release you from custody.

You are free to go home.

- Your honor, wait.
- You're free.

Thank you, your honor.

This is my judgment.

It is time for you to leave,

to get a new start in life,

to make good decisions,

and to be a productive member of
the society that I know you can be.

This meeting today is adjourned.

Thank you, you honor. Thank you.

Congratulations.

Great news.

Ms. Gray, can I have
a moment with you?

Ms. Gray, are you a Christian?

Yes. Yes, ma'am, I am.

Then please allow me
to give you my personal Bible.

I'm a judge who has to
use the law of the land.

But there is no judgment that I can make
without consulting this Bible first.

Read it.

Allow it to penetrate
your heart.

I want to tell you that it was the grace
of god that showed up in this court today.

And it's that same grace that will cover
you and that same deep abiding love from god

that will guide you.

It was his grace that allowed you
to show up in this meeting today.

And to get the freedom
that you need to move forward.

Find solace in your family and
friends, through this difficult time.

It's time that you need
for your healing process

and to heal your heart.

Thank you, your honor.

You're welcome, dear.

God's got you.

- Hello.
- Oh, my god,

tiny, you made it.

I'm so happy.

- It's actually Juliana.
- Who?

My name. Juliana.

Never knew your name.
We're right in the living room.

Guys, ladies, this is tiny.

Tiny, this is everybody.

Ah!

It's so good having
everybody together.

Yeah.

You people seen me
through this difficult time.

You helped me up when
I couldn't help myself up.

You nourished me
when I couldn't eat.

You comforted me
when I couldn't sleep.

I owe you all more than
I could ever think of.

I just ask you guys
to do one more thing.

Let us pray.

Our father, who art in heaven...

Hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth, as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

It's all for you, my boys.
It's all for you.

Hello to all of you,
and thank you for watching this film.

My name is Marquis
and I play Nick in the film.

And I've come briefly just to extend an
invitation to each and every one of you,

for those who may not know our
lord and savior Jesus Christ.

You may be wondering
in this moment right now,

while you're watching this
invitation, are you talking to me?

Is this me who you are really engaging
in to come into this invitation?

Just to know that if I'm not
saved, how can I become saved?

I know you've been misused.

I know you've been ridiculed.

I know you've been
stabbed in the back.

You've been talked about.
You've been frustrated.

You are indecisive about life's issues,
conditions, and even where you are.

But guess what?
There is somebody who is here,

who can help, who can
deliver you out of anything.

There is nothing that
you have done

that god cannot forgive you for.

Guess what? Peter was
just like you and I.

At one point in our lives, he was
saying, "god, how can I come to you?"

"How can I receive you?"

And Jesus said,
"step out on the water."

And Peter said,
"if you bid me, I'll come."

And when he came,
he may have lost sight.

But when he continued to understand
who Christ was, he lifted his hand down

reached him up and brought him
back to where he was.

Guess what? That's you and I.
We were there.

We were lost. We were drowning.

But Jesus Christ, picked us up
from where we are

and brought us to the place
where we are now.

The Bible declares the only way
that we can even come to him

is unless the spirit of god
draws us.

So I'm happy to let you know that if
you feel that tugging, can you feel it?

Can you feel the power whispering in
your ear to say, "it's your time"?

Guess what? It's your time now.

All you gotta do is
repeat after me.

If you believe that you are here today
for a specific reason and assignment,

guess what.
Just repeat after me.

Say, god, I believe that you
raised Jesus from the dead

and he now has ascended and
sits at the right side of god

with all power and authority
and strength in his hand.

If you believe that prayer,
guess what, you're saved.

There's nothing anybody
can do about it.

The Bible says
the angels are rejoicing

just because of your singled
out decision to live for god.

Guess what? You are now
a kingdom partner.

You are now living in the kingdom
that is not of this world.

But you now have the opportunity to
do what god has called you to do.

Find yourself a good
Bible based church,

find yourself some people who can
pour into you, who can love on you

and to give you the unadulterated
word of god to help you to mature,

to become perfected
in your Christian walk.

That's you.
You've made that decision.

I'm so happy for you.

The kingdom is happy for you.

Guess what?
Welcome to the body of Christ.

May nothing that you do,

stop you from coming to where
god has called you to be.

And I hope that you enjoy the
rest of living your life for god.

Thank you, god bless.
