Tell me!

Tell me now!

Tell me now, please!

She gave you a black eye.

Tell me what happened.

Come over here and have a seat. Have a seat.

Did you call the police?

No, I can't call the police.

They don't put him in jail. We just need to talk.

Okay. Just sit here and just try to relax.

And I'm going to go get you some water, okay? Okay.

Tell me what happened.

I lost the baby.

He hit me in the nose a couple of weeks ago.

I had this dream.

I knew he would kiss away and kill maybe me. But he killed our baby. I have

nowhere else to go.

How did he knock me down three weeks ago?

Taking pregnancy tests to make sure I was still pregnant.

I took a test last week.

I'm sorry I'm late, baby.

Please don't be angry.

You lost my baby.

You killed my baby.

You can't do anything right.

I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how to tell you. Bullshit!

You weren't going to tell me. I found this in your drawer.

You can't hide things.

You can't even lie.

Useless! I tried to tell you. I just didn't know.

I tried, tried, tried. I would try to get a dinner on time.

We've been through it all.

Everyone sees us.

Yes, we know how we came this far.

Friends like this are.

Yeah.

There must be something serious he be starting off the conversation with

me Charles.

What's up?

Yeah.

It's about Brenda and Debra.

Let me guess.

He beat her again, didn't he?

Yeah. She lost the baby.

The baby?

Yeah. Damn.

And it has a stopper. You know he's going to end up killing Brenda, right?

I really just need you to talk to him. No. Baby, listen.

She needs to call the police and she needs to leave that one.

She won't do that.

She doesn't want to get him arrested.

She feels that she needs him and that he doesn't have anywhere else to go.

She's too weak emotionally and spiritually to leave him. Well, what is

you want me to do, babe?

You want me to go over there and beat the man up? Oh, I would love to see

He needs to take up his own mess.

Can't you just talk to him? Just please, just get him up there. He really needs

his job.

Helen, listen to me, okay?

We both know that this type of behavior does not just end overnight, okay? It's

going to take intervention and counseling and Lord knows what else to

going back on the right path. I mean, the most that I can do is maybe talk him

into getting that help, but that's it.

That's Brenda calling now.

Hello? Hey, sis.

We were just... Is he beating you again?

We're on our way.

Get to the room, lock the door. We're on our way.

Let's go, Charles.

Let's go?

What are we gonna do?

Look, tell Brenda to call 911 and leave the house. I mean, it's not like we can

get over there to stop it anyway right now. She needs us. She can't call the

police. No, she can call the police and she can leave the house. I mean, I told

you that I'd talk to the man, but really...

I just go by myself.

She all right, babe? She need a doctor.

Not this time.

But it's only a matter of time.

Well, it's getting late, babe.

I got him out of the house.

But you should be safe for the rest of the night.

We got to go.

I think you should come with us.

Are you sure?

If you need us for anything,

anything, you call us right away.

We'll be there.

I promise you this. Be strong.

Maybe let's go.

We'll come back tomorrow.

It's not your fault.

I don't know what's going on with her, but Devlin does know that he's wrong.

I mean, someday he may end up coming to see the light, but

girl, she needs help too.

I'm not just talking about a show to the crowd.

I know.

I've been trying to get her to do it on her own, but she's not going to take

that down.

It just really breaks my heart.

Are you cold?

You hungry?

Can I get you something?

No, no, no.

I think I better call your mother.

Room 305.

Hello, I'm Dr. Gordon. I'm the operating orthopedic surgeon here.

I need to speak to you about your injuries and your plan of care.

I can't feel my toes, though.

Please.

Tell me I'm... Tell me I'm awoke.

You've suffered a series of injuries.

Some minor.

Some a little more serious. And there's one.

Your head injury's not serious.

Your arm, although broken, doesn't need surgery.

The problem, as you point out, is...

With your spine and legs.

Stop.

Please tell us. You're going to be okay.

Please.

You sustained an injury to the L1 vertebrae in your spine.

It's compressed and fractured.

That's what's causing the numbness and your inability to move.

Just.

Calm down, Charles.

Just tell me when I'll be able to walk.

Please.

I'll prescribe a steroid treatment to help with the swelling.

And then later on, we'll perform surgery to ease the pressure off your spine.

I do want you to hope for the best possible outcome.

But you do need to be prepared for the real possibility that you may not get

your leg.

I need to know.

I need to know something.

I need to know. I need answers.

Please. Please.

I'm sorry,

but all I can tell you at this time is the extent of your injury.

Lay in the course of treatment and try to be encouraged.

There is hope.

Okay.

But we need to be real.

We'll talk about therapy, further treatment, based on the results of your

initial surgery.

Okay. A nurse will be in here shortly to begin the drug treatment.

Calm down. Calm down. It's going to be okay.

Calm down. Calm down. I'm so scared.

I'm so scared. It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Breathe. Breathe.

Please, Lord, I got you. You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna walk again.

You're gonna be okay.

Where are you going?

Is lunch ready?

Your lunch is in the refrigerator.

I made you a sandwich and potato salad.

I'm going to the hospital to see Charles and Ellie.

We go to the hospital every day.

Did you forget your responsibilities here?

You have responsibilities here, too.

It is your fault that this happened.

So what's it looking like, doc?

Should we take it straight?

Will I walk again?

Well, in about six months, we'll do the final operation.

In the meantime, do your therapy.

I'll monitor your progress.

But at this point, before the surgery, there's nothing left for me to do.

I try to be positive and give you hope, but we have to be realistic.

Okay.

Let's see. We did not see the results that we wanted from the first surgery.

If there were no chance of you walking again, I wouldn't do a second surgery.

There is a chance, but again, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Do your therapy, and in about six months, we'll do the final surgery and

from there.

Hey, honey.

What's wrong?

I don't know what I'm going to do here.

What we're going to do.

I still can't feel my feet.

I can't walk.

I can't work.

I can't do any of the things that I've always done.

Helen, I'll never be able to make love to you again.

I can't. Now, honey, you have to be optimistic here.

Now, Dr. Gordon didn't say that you wouldn't recover.

That's why she's doing the surgery.

Because there's hope.

We will. We?

We will what?

There's no we in this. This is me.

Look, I'm the one that's paralyzed.

And all of this is your fault anyway, because if we would have just told her

call the police...

Why couldn't you have just called the police?

Why do we always have to get involved in something?

Now look at me. I'm paralyzed for the rest of my life, and the devil is

over there beating on her right now.

Calm down. Calm down.

Let's not worry about them right now.

Let's focus on you.

On us.

We're in this together.

Look, you're getting strong.

And I have faith in God.

And I have trust in Dr. Gordon.

And I really have a good feeling about this next surgery.

Yeah.

The next surgery, huh?

You talking about that same surgery that happens in six months?

That same surgery that's going to require me to have six more months of

treatment and therapy?

How am I even supposed to pay for this?

Don't worry about paying for it.

That's why you have insurance from work.

Helen, insurance has limits.

Cap.

Okay, they don't pay for everything, and I haven't been to work since any of

this has happened. Don't worry about the money.

Let's just worry about getting you walking again. I do have to worry about

money, okay?

Because I'm the one that has to pay for all of this.

Look, I'll pay for whatever the insurance company doesn't pay for.

You just listen to the doctor.

And do your therapy.

And I'll take care of the rest.

No matter what happens, I'm always here for you.

Always.

So, how are things at home?

Is Devlin still getting angry all the time?

Yeah.

Well, he still gets angry easily.

I'm getting better at not setting him off.

I don't know why he's always so angry.

I'm more worried about you and Charles than I am about me and Devlin.

I'm worried about us, too.

It's hard enough, but Charles blames me for the accident.

which makes it so much more difficult for me to deal with everything.

How could he possibly blame you?

I mean, I blame Devlin for the situation.

I mean, I'm sorry to blame because I did call you to come that night.

It's certainly not your fault. I pressed him to go that night.

He didn't want to go. He told me to call the police and tell you to get out of

the house.

I made him go.

It's not your fault either.

You always watch out for me.

You always dare. You always do the right thing.

It was raining.

You was driving.

It was an accident.

I know, but... I just get so angry.

I mean, he does have a point, though.

I made him go.

And now, I don't know what to do about it.

I mean...

I can take care of him physically.

And I can love him.

I don't know how to get him not to blame me.

I have a good feeling Charles will walk again someday.

I just feel so terrible about the situation.

He's always been so good to you. He just doesn't deserve this.

If he wants to blame someone, he should blame Devlin.

I mean, he can blame me too because I did call you to come that night.

But he certainly shouldn't blame you.

There's no one to blame.

You needed me.

I needed Charles.

We're in this together.

It was an accident.

Doesn't see it that way.

All he sees is he's in a wheelchair.

I was driving that night.

I got emotional.

I crashed the car.

Well, it is our fault. It's Devlin's fault for starting it, and it's my fault

for calling you.

I mean, Charles will walk, and eventually he'll stop blaming you.

Until then, he should just blame me and Devlin.

I have a good feeling about this next surgery.

But Charles, he's more worried about the money, how we're going to pay for it.

I just, things are just so much more difficult.

He can't deal with anger.

Just wish he could deal with anger.

It would just make things so much more easier.

Well, sis, you know you always there for me, and I'm here for you.

So let me do this. I'm going to talk to Charles not to him to blame me and

Devlin. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't do that.

I'll take care of it.

I appreciate your help and support with this, but it won't change anything.

It will just be the same.

Emma, just get upset.

Let me know what I can do to help.

I just need you.

Well, let me head back into the house. I gotta tend to Devlin.

Yeah, and I better get home, too.

All right, sis.

Love you, too.

Love you, too. See ya.

We've been through it all.

Everyone sees us.

Yes, we know how we came this far.

Friends like sisters.

Yeah.

What came in the mail that made you so mad?

The insurance company, isn't it?

They're not going to pay you, are they?

Oh, honey, I am mad.

It's not from the insurance company.

It's from your company.

Can they just do this?

Do what?

It says because you haven't been working so long, they're changing your status.

I see that.

Taking my status?

Hell, and they're firing me.

I'll take them to court.

Can they just do this? Can they just cut you off like that?

We need that assurance. After all that I did for that damn job.

All of those years.

This is how they do me?

All right.

I'll sue them.

What I'll do, I'll sue them.

But now what?

What are we going to do now?

How am I going to pay for this?

I'll find the rest.

Get surgery. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You don't have a job to pay for that.

Hey, I will find a way.

You just do what you need to do about the company, and I'll take care of the

rest.

I love you.

I will find a way.

You will have that surgery, and you will walk again.

I tell you what, I've seen better days.

Are you going to hit him again?

Be positive.

Tina, I have a little work that's going to get him done.

I'm finally going to do it. I have a plan to leave that way.

I'm going to get my own apartment.

That's great, sis.

You can do it.

So, tell me, what'd you do?

Get a new job?

No. I'm trying to look for a degree, but I just can't find anything that's going

to pay me more than what I make right now.

So, what's the plan?

Come up with some money?

Win the lotto?

No. I have a plan.

I mean, I need money fast.

When I'm mad.

Drops? What does that mean?

Are you out of your mind?

I told you I was going to sell that.

Detective.

I want you to get as many preachers in this house as you can and anybody going

in and out of there. Gotcha.

I met this guy today.

He overheard a conversation when I was talking about I need money.

Imagine that with this body.

He said he sees me around and he knows where I live and he can help me make

money.

I'll have to pick up this job.

It's just not thinking. It's crazy. It's dangerous.

You can go to jail and get shot.

If I don't do this, then I can't leave Devlin.

I mean, I have to depend on him forever. I just won't ever be able to leave him.

Well, you know you can't do that.

And clearly, you had to know what I was going to say.

Well, I thought you'd support me and leave. I do support you.

That's why I'm telling you, you can't do that.

How does going to jail solve your problem?

Because if you do that, then...

That's where you're going to wind up.

What else am I supposed to do? Be a hooker?

I mean, I need money to move. I need deposit money.

I need three months rent money. There has to be a better way.

Move to a smaller apartment.

Move to a cheaper side of town.

Okay, I'm done.

I really need to get away from that. You are desperate.

That's why you're not thinking.

You can't do that.

No. No. I need to do this today because I have a job.

You don't have to deliver that.

Just don't do it. That's a need to say. If I don't do it, I come out to be.

Just don't do it. Just don't do it.

Look, call the guy.

Tell him that you're afraid.

Tell him that you got caught.

And then tell him you'll give him back and throw some more.

Charlie doesn't go upstairs.

So, I'll keep him here. Really?

Yeah. You just go to work. I'll make sure you call that guy. Tell him you'll

meet him in the same place.

And give him back the drugs.

Thank you so much, Lizzie. I'm so sorry. I always get the calls from my spouse.

How is he there for me?

Liz, he's there for us, too.

Go to work.

And I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you so much.

Make sure that you get a picture of her.

All right.

I knew she was involved.

All right.

You know what?

You've seen enough.

She probably called for backup.

Definitely.

Save us the time.

Where are the drugs?

Drugs? What drugs? You got the wrong house.

I can't just come up in here like this. Where's your war?

We don't need a war.

We got probable cause.

We found your delivery girl driver here and now you're busted.

So save us the time and tell us where the drugs are.

Sit down.

Why don't we more charges? I'm not sitting down.

Ryan, you check upstairs.

I'll start in the kitchen.

Y 'all got to sit down.

Tear the place up.

You can't just do this.

Helen. Helen.

What? What is going on?

You got what?

People in our house looking for drugs.

What are you doing?

I think y 'all have the wrong house.

Somebody's going to jail.

If you were to admit that they're yours, we will take you.

Oh.

You have the right to an attorney,

and if you cannot afford one, the court will appoint one to you.

Do you understand these rights?

Ellen, get her out of here.

Don't go there.

Search the house.

The other one confessed, so we got him.

You stay your butt right here.

But in the meantime, don't you just tell him that you got the other drugs.

I'm not going there, right?

Your friend did.

He caught her as soon as you left.

So do yourself a favor.

Tell us where the rest of the stash is.

Did you arrest Alan?

Look. We got you.

We found the other girl from the pickup point for you. That means we got your

ass on possession, conspiracy, and trafficking.

Now, if you help us, then maybe, just maybe, you won't go to jail for life.

Just tell us the name of the other.

There are no others.

The drugs are mine.

I was going to sell them to pay for my husband's medical bills. We saw her

deliver the drugs to you. She just slipped off in the traffic.

Those were mine.

If you found any other...

Your girlfriend over there?

Yeah. You will be soon, too.

Make sure that you search everything.

Check all the usual spots first.

Excuse me.

I'm right here.

You got other things to worry about?

You know what?

You are one lucky lady.

But we'll get you soon enough.

Wrap it up and let's move out.

Go ahead.

You have no choice.

The other one admitted that the drugs we used were coming for her.

She said she didn't have any accomplices.

We ain't got nothing on this one yet.

We saw what happened.

They get lucky sometimes.

We'll get her soon enough.

She'll make a mistake.

But you know, Susan Helen, things would be a lot easier for you if you just

cooperated. You know that?

I mean, why go to jail for her?

She wouldn't do the same for you.

She would.

Oh, really?

But that's not what's happening here.

I told you.

I'm pleading guilty.

They're mine.

OK. Have it your way for now.

We'll get the other one later.

Take her to jail.

What? Wait.

Wait. Wait.

Hey, Brenda.

It's me.

Helen! I can't believe you did that.

You should have just told me it was mine.

There's no point.

They found the drugs in my house.

Anyway, they may be listening.

Don't say anything more.

I'm going to see you tomorrow, Susie.

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

Don't worry about me.

I told you I'll take care of this for you.

And I will. That's what I'm going to do.

Besides, they're not listening to me.

The drugs were found hidden in my house.

Don't have a record.

I'll get it right.

I'll get it right.

I'm going to take care of you.

I will.

What about Charles and me? What are you going to do?

Not me for a short time.

You take care of Charles.

Take care of him.

Don't worry about him.

I'll make sure he's okay. Time's up.

I can go now.

You won't be told I'll take care of him.

not a drug dealer i won't do this again i already wasn't going to

i really need to be at home taking care of my husband i beg of you

please please your honor

miss murray

i have reviewed the evidence and i have went over the police report thoroughly

And that is a very large quantity of narcotics.

Especially for your first time.

And with people that don't know you.

Now, you entered a plea of guilty. And the court accepts that plea.

I sentence you to 18 years in the Georgia State Penitentiary.

Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in the green pastures.

He leads me beside the still water.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of a shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare the table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflowing.

Surely the goodness and mercy shall follow me.

All the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord.

Forever and ever.

Amen.

You're supposed to be home hours ago. You got work to do here.

I've been taking care of Charles.

I had to make sure he had a good dinner and that house was clean.

You got responsibilities here.

Well, I have responsibilities there, too.

No, she got locked up on her own.

I promised Helen I would help her take care of him. And if he wasn't in a

wheelchair, this wouldn't have happened.

What did you say to me?

You fucking bitch!

Oh my goodness.

Let's get out of here.

Let's talk about this. Tell me everything that happened.

I understand. I don't know.

I won't cripple right now. I'm over there to beat his ass.

to perform.

It's all right. You don't have to.

It's okay.

I always knew you were messing around with him.

Messing around?

What are you talking about? The guy you kissed.

Charles. We're not messing around. You don't understand.

Oh, I understand.

Here, we're not messing around.

He just protects me from you.

He didn't protect you from me.

You live in my house. You eat my food.

Just go.

I should have left you. I had the wrong time to go. Just go.

You'll be begging to come back.

Did he hit you again?

No, he was coming up to me, but I got out of time.

I need a place to stay. Okay, listen, listen. Calm down, okay?

Calm down. Okay. You can stay here.

And I'll be able to take care of you better, too.

Listen, okay? The back room, okay, is always open.

Okay, you can just get settled in right there for right now, okay?

Okay.

I can always count on you.

I'm so sorry to be so much trouble.

I'm going to make this. Listen, don't you worry about making things better,

okay? All right?

You have to go back there right now.

All right? Let's just worry about getting you settled in. We'll have to go

for your belongings and stuff like that later.

All right.

Okay? Well, listen, hey, we'll get it worked out.

Okay. All right?

All right.

Well, you get back to sleep.

I have some things to tend to.

All right.

You good?

I'm good. I'm better.

All right.

Try to stay calm, all right? All right. You're safe.

Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

Hi, baby.

Hey.

How you feeling this evening?

Oh, I feel so much better.

Yeah? I haven't felt this way in a long time.

I feel free.

Anyway, what can I get you for dinner tonight?

You know, it don't even matter to me. I like everything that you cook.

You just felt easy to please.

Coming right up. But I want to talk to you about something.

What's that?

A surprise.

Oh, I like surprises.

I have $100 ,000 out there for you. It's for your surgery.

Brenda, where did you get this type of cash?

You know you don't have to do this, right? Yes, I do have to do it. I owe

much more than this.

Don't worry about where it came from. Just schedule your surgery.

You can't just come here and throw $100 ,000 of cash in my lap and not expect me

to have some type of speculation.

I mean, there's only one type of place that cash like this comes from, and

that's drugs.

Wait, drugs?

Helen?

You and Helen? Don't worry about that.

You take that money, you just schedule surgery.

Wait, this is a giant risk. I don't know. No risk.

The risk was worth it for me.

I was going to do something else with the money, but the money is yours now.

Brenda, I don't know what to say about this.

I mean, I really don't know what to say.

It's like an answer to my prayers, but... No, but you take that money, you

get that surgery.

I don't know if I could pay you back for this.

You don't have to pay me back.

This is me trying to pay you back.

It's

almost

over. Yeah. Right?

It's almost over.

Thank you so much.

I'm home.

Where are you?

I'm in the kitchen.

Oh, how was your day at your new job? Oh, my God, my day went so great. Look,

I'm pouring up some champagne right now. Just relax for a second, and I'll tell

you all about it. Okay. Well, I have things to do.

Okay, that's great.

We can talk stories then. Okay.

What's that in your hand?

Why don't you go first?

You ain't got to tell me twice.

All right, so my day was outstanding, all right? Being able to be back at work

again and on my feet, you know, walking around, working, having purpose again,

it's just like a breath of fresh air. It's almost like a new life.

Listen, I have a big, beautiful office.

My coworkers, they're super cool. My management staff is great.

I mean, it's a new position and all, and it may be a little challenging, but, I

mean, to be honest with you, ain't nothing I can't handle.

Right.

Yeah, so how's your day going?

That's not funny.

How'd your day go?

I went to the clinic. I'm not lying.

Look.

Oh.

Oh.

You.

We got something. You know, we really need to think about this. I mean, it

be.

I thought that you'd be excited a little bit.

Maybe I shouldn't be happy, but I mean, Brittany, you know this can be a

problem.

I am still married to Helen.

I know that.

I know you never divorced her, but she's not in your life.

Listen, we're not married, but I'm here and we made a baby.

We really need to think about this, all right? I mean, there is an option.

I know you're not suggesting an abortion.

Charles! I can't believe you would do such a thing.

Hey, listen, we don't have to make a decision right now.

Adoption? I don't know. I can't raise a child right now.

I can't do it. You know I was married for eight years and I lost one baby. A

miscarriage. This is the chance that I lost that I must be back.

I really want to have this baby.

It's a miracle, a dream come true.

I'm literally just getting back on my feet and moving around, going back to

work, having somewhat of a normal life again, and now this?

I don't have time for anything like this right now. I just can't do it.

Yes, I understand your frustration.

I just thought you'd be happy and excited.

I mean, we're gonna figure this out.

You'll see.

Pleased to meet you.

What's wrong with her?

Well, it seems that she has taken quite a shot.

I don't see any signs of trauma.

Can you tell me what happened?

Yeah. Okay, it's a long story.

She has been gone away for a long time. And I'm talking years in jail.

And she just comes home all of a sudden without calling or anything, just walks

in the door.

Last time she saw me, I was in a wheelchair, paralyzed.

Oh. So she walks in, and she sees me and Brenda sitting on the sofa.

I look at her, and I call out her name, and she shouts mine back. But when she

does it, she grabs her heart like this, and she fell out.

That explains a lot.

She appears to have suffered from traumatic emotional shock.

She has some minor injuries, though.

Not serious enough to account for these symptoms.

But what's her condition?

The prognosis?

Here are my notes.

I see here there's some amnesia, loss of memory.

There appears to be some paralysis.

But like I said, there's no physical trauma that caused that.

But she's going to recover, right?

She's not going to need to be in a wheelchair like I was.

Will she need surgery?

No surgery.

She'll receive emotional therapy, physical therapy, movements, you know,

will help her. It'll take some time, though.

about her memory.

That alone would take some time. You could show her some pictures that would

help her along the way.

But try not to force it, okay?

Because, like I said, you have to be gentle.

And it's going to help her along the way, but it's going to take a little bit

time.

Well, we'll let her rest, okay? And we'll be back tomorrow.

Let's go home, Brenda.

We'll get some things together for her to help her feel more comfortable.

Yeah.

Let's do that.

Well, you all have a nice day. Take care. You too.

You

keep

avoiding the subject.

I mean, I'm glad that Helen is out of jail.

I mean, I owe her a lot, but you haven't even said anything about me or the

baby.

That's because I don't know for sure right now.

What? I can't say.

I mean... I don't know.

I mean, I don't know what you want me to tell you right now.

All it is is catching everybody by surprise.

Okay.

We need to figure out something.

Hey, look, Helen.

Here's you and I on our wedding day.

How beautiful you look.

I always love that beautiful smile of yours.

Look at this one.

At our wedding reception.

Here we are on our honeymoon.

You know, I always wish that I had more money for a better trip, but we still

had a great time, right?

And look, your best friend Brenda's here.

Good morning, sister.

Rise and shine.

How is she, Charles?

I'm telling her stories and showing her pictures, but...

It's me, sister.

Remember?

We were always sisters.

Especially when we were younger.

We had so much fun.

It was so... Close.

Always dreaming and talking about our dreams.

We were always going to go to the bar.

Brenda?

Luther?

Where have you been?

It's been so long.

I had so many, so many drinks with us on our island trip.

Do you remember that time with the little girls?

When we went to the beach?

Yeah. Yeah.

I thought her leg moved.

She can move.

Nurse, call the doctor.

She can move and she remembers.

She... I saw a leg.

This is

great.

Great job.

Helen?

Helen, can you hear me?

Can you feel that?

Yeah, I can feel it.

Where am I?

I mean, it looks like a hospital, but...

What happened? You fainted.

You passed out, and you lost some memory.

This is good.

This is the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

Charles, Brenda, you can go now.

We need to do some more examining on her.

I'll call you later. Yeah.

We'll give you some room here.

Let's go, Brenda.

Bye -bye.

We'll see you later, sister.

This is good.

Charles, I'm glad that you want to help Helen out, but you still haven't told me

what you're going to do about me and the baby.

I've told you, Brenda, several times that I still need time to process that.

Well, I deserve an answer.

You do have an responsibility here.

To me, to the baby.

Listen, it's just not enough time.

I mean, I'm literally just getting on my feet, getting back into a job and

living somewhat of a normal life. And now I have this?

And I have a baby on the way. Your baby. And I have to get to Helen.

Now, are you coming with me to the hospital or not?

Hmm?

Because regardless, I'm going with or without you.

I can't believe you. No.

Alright, I'm sorry. No, just go to your wife.

I love you.

I'm here, baby.

Oh, Charles.

Look at you.

You remember who I am today.

I see you're doing great.

Yeah, but I...

Still really don't remember what happened.

How long have I been here?

Was I in a coma or something?

It's like a coma.

It's hard to explain.

But I'm sure the doctor will when she gets in.

But look.

How about your favorites?

Need anything else? Some water?

I don't need anything.

I'll eat this later.

I'm not hungry.

When can I go home?

You can go home soon.

You're on the mend.

We'll see what the doctor says about going home, but once we get there, we've

got a lot to talk about.

I have a lot of questions.

Where's Brenda today?

Well, Brenda couldn't make it today.

She's busy at home, but I promise you, you'll see her soon enough.

I don't really want to go home.

I feel okay.

I got to get out of here.

Not so much work to do.

Don't you worry about work.

You still need to rest.

Hey, you take some time to heal.

I mean, you still have to undergo therapy.

Hello. How are you today?

Oh, Charles.

I have good news.

So, can she walk?

Is she ready to go home?

Yes, she can walk.

She has regained her motion.

That's great.

She's still a little weak, though, okay?

She'll need to continue therapy to regain her strength.

She can do that as an outpatient. Don't even worry about that. Well, what about

her memory?

You still haven't said much about that.

Oh, I have you right here.

The prognosis is feel good. Like I said, there's no brain damage.

It was emotional shock.

Yeah.

Our subconscious mind is working to protect her from a trauma.

She'll probably recover soon.

We just have to work on her.

So she can go home when?

Like today?

Yes. She can go home this afternoon.

OK? OK.

And I'll write the prescription out for her, and I'll give the prescription to

the nurse. That's great.

See, baby?

You're doing great. You get to go home today.

I can't wait to sleep in my own bed.

I don't know how long it's been.

It's been a long, long time.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

I remember this.

Yeah? Yeah.

I remember I'd be waiting on you and you would come up and

pass me with flowers and paperwalks and

cocaine and talk.

Yeah, I remember all those good days, too.

You know, your memories coming back.

I'm proud of you.

Yep. Soon you'll be able to remember all of those great days.

Yep. I also remember when I used to be in the park.

I'd be on the fence waiting on you.

Then you would sneak up behind.

Yep.

Yep.

You know, I'll never forget them.

I've done everything to get back to normal.

You'll be able to remember everything.

Yeah. I'm proud of you.

Look, I'm going to run and get some water and a vase for these flowers.

You continue to give to the rest.

I'll be right back, okay?

Okay, man.

All right. See you later.

All right.

Yeah, I, um, had a good rest. I had a good rest.

Told us you were fifth year.

Really? Probably flowers.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Well, so let me take care of that for you.

I brought you a treat, too.

Oh, your favorite coffee.

Thank you.

Sure, not a problem.

This looks delicious.

It is.

Sit. That's real good.

How are you? Are you okay?

What does it feel?

Bitch. Die whore.

I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

How is she, Doc? Is she all right?

What happened?

Is this a relapse?

A relapse?

Yeah. You know what?

I thought she looked familiar.

I saw her a while back with a paralysis.

Oh, no.

This is not a relapse.

This is something else.

I'm going to have to call the police.

She's been poisoned.

Poisoned? Poison.

What do you mean, poison?

Like, food poisoning?

No. Not food poisoning.

Poison.

We'll have to run some tests.

But I'm going to have to call the police because it was something that she left

either eating or was drinking.

I gave her some chocolate. You did? But the package was still closed when I

left.

She may have eaten some of that, but...

It was straight from the store.

Are you sure?

Guaranteed.

I can't say at this point.

We have to run some tests. Like I said, I better not say anything else.

I'll just have to let the police do their investigation.

Because like I said, it was the last thing she either ate or drank in the

moment.

Are you okay?

Coffee? Brenda.

Brenda, what are you talking about? Charles, where are you going?

Oh, my.

Charles!

This day can't get any worse.

Helen?

Helen? Where am I?

You're back in the hospital, but you're going to be okay. Your husband got you

here just in time. Charles?

Where is he? Is he here?

It's coming back now.

I remember so much.

I was away for so long.

You're in the ER. But don't talk.

You've been poisoned.

And the police have been called. And Charles, he ran home to get some food.

Someone poisoned me?

Yes, poisoned you. But the police have been called. Just do me a favor. Lay

and rest.

The police will let you know. Why?

You'll be fine.

Just rest.

I just didn't have time to get rid of that cup.

There it was.

Well ladies, open up!

We're responding to a call from the hospital.

We got some officers with your wife.

We're here to touch the house.

Don't touch anything.

Officer, look, I've already been upstairs and I touched myself because

where she was drinking the coffee.

Sir, it's best if you just step up there and have a seat.

Had to be Brenda.

She gave Helen a cup of coffee.

I left. I went to the store, all right? The store.

I went to the package store, okay?

I got back. I guess they didn't hear me or something.

I get upstairs, and all I see is my wife, Helen, on the floor convulsing and

foaming at the mouth, all right?

Brenda's sitting there. She's crying and panicking, of course, not knowing what

to do. She suggested we call 911.

We don't have time for that, okay? I pick my wife up.

I had a straight panic, and I take her to the hospital myself.

So why are you so nervous?

It's my wife.

What do you mean?

Well, when your coffee was made.

Brenda was downstairs making coffee, okay? We knew that she was coming.

When she got upstairs, I saw that as an opportunity for me to go ahead and go to

the store. You know, now my wife has some type of company there, okay?

I leave, so I have no idea what happens then, but I'm putting two and two

together.

Coffee exchanged.

My wife, all of a sudden, on the ground, foaming. How long did it take for you

to get back from the floor? Ten, maybe 15 minutes tops. So what do you do when

you find out on the floor? In your words, come both.

Panic. I panic.

What would you do?

This ain't about me. It's about you.

Understand this, okay? There's a cup in here. I haven't found it.

That's what I was just doing before you guys got here, okay? I'm trying to find

the cup.

You find the cup, you find out what happened. It tells you everything that

need to know. Where did Brenda go?

And how did she get to the hospital? I stormed out the house, okay, with my

wife. I tossed her in the car, okay, and I fly to the hospital, okay?

Everything's a blur for me, so I'm not quite sure on that aspect.

I don't know.

It's bullshit.

If he hadn't come home, you'd be dead.

You can not even bitch.

You? Brenda?

Yes. You did this?

You tried to kill me? But you didn't die.

You about to die now.

Hey, get off of her. What? What are you doing? I'm going to arrest her. I took

the murder. Oh, my God. I didn't do anything. Anything you say, kid, it will

you that gets you to court of law. Yeah.

Pull her out of here.

You all right? Doctor!

Someone!

Get him out of here!

No, no, no!

Get him out of here!

It's okay.

It's okay. It's over. They got her.

They got them.

Lucky your husband brought you in when he did.

We probably won't even admit you.

We'll run some tests and observations.

And if you're stable, we'll probably let you go home in a couple of hours.

All right.

So you've been read, you're right.

Before we begin, do you want a lawyer?

I didn't do anything.

You are being interrogated as the primary suspect in the attempted murder,

Brenda. So you're saying you want to rave your rights to an attorney?

I didn't do anything.

It was Charles.

Okay, so you're saying that you don't want an attorney present right now?

Okay, but you play that gay?

Tell me what happened.

I was home.

I heard him sneak back into the house.

At first, I heard him in the kitchen.

And then I heard him in the bedroom.

I went to the bathroom and I saw her on the floor.

She looked at me and he said, call 911.

I think she's having a seizure.

That's not what I heard.

As a matter of fact, we found the coffee cup and the coffee can.

It's over, Brenda. You might as well just confess.

Just stay in bed for 24 hours. If you have any symptoms, come back quickly.

I'm certain the poison is all out of your system.

I'm going to write you this prescription.

Don't eat any solid food.

And make sure you drink plenty of fluid.

Oh, I'm going to rest.

Good.

And then I'm going to make everyone pay for this. What?

He did it.

He wanted to kill her.

Dan's going to kill me and get rid of our baby.

This is not the time to be lying. Just tell me the truth now.

I am telling the truth.

She betrayed him.

He wanted to get her back. He wanted me. We're having a baby.

order, baby.

But tell me why we found your fingerprints. You gave her the coffee.

He poisoned the can.

He set me up. He did it.

All right.

But we didn't find his fingerprints on the coffee can. We found yours. Explain

that.

I don't know.

I mean, he must have a cause or something.

I do the grocery shopping, so yes.

My prints are on a can.

But we found the poison in your room with your fingerprints on the bottle,

Brenda.

This is it.

You know you're going to jail today, right?

I think it's best to just confess.

I have nothing to confess to.

I didn't do it.

Okay.

All right, we're going to see.

Yeah, we're definitely going to see.

Watch what you say.

That woman got arrested.

And they have plenty of solid evidence.

Oh, they don't even know the half of it.

Wow, Mom.

Oh, hi. Oh, my God. What are you doing here?

Oh, is that a question?

Today's your birthday.

Oh, my God.

And I got you something you've always wanted. You got me a car?

I got you a Mercedes.

Oh, my God. There's been so much going on today. I forgot it was my birthday.

You're so good to me. You should have just saved your money.

I don't know, Mama.

You saved me.

And I don't need to save my money.

You just have these and many more.

You're so good to me.

Oh, my goodness. Give me a hug.

Thank you.

So this is right on Slot Tower 47.

Okay. So visit me later at night.

Oh, I don't even know what you're saying.

Thank you.

You have a wonderful son.

Oh, honey, that's not my son.

Not your son?

No. And he hugs you like that? Yeah. And buys you a car?

Yeah. It's saying...

It all started.

I was at the house with my husband and my son.

It was not long after dinner. We were just settling in for tonight when

a group of young men with guns walked into our house demanding money.

We were shocked and frightened.

We gave them cash and jewelry.

They held a gun to our heads demanding more money.

And when I told them that we didn't have any more money, He cut my son and

snatched the chain that was around his neck.

A few days later, I received a phone call from a woman who told me the name

the one who killed my son.

And then she also told me the name of the apartment complex where he lived.

I went there and I found him wearing my son's chain.

He denied it at first, but he knew that I knew.

Then I talked to him and he said, what, are you going to get me arrested?

And laughed.

I said, no, I don't want you to go to jail.

What are you going to do, shoot me?

That's what he said.

I said, no, I come to forgive you.

He laughed again, but I kept on.

I was able to get through to him and tell him about the love of Jesus.

God only son.

I read to him from the Bible and he began to weep.

And I began to weep.

And then he gave his life to God.

And ever since then, he's been coming to visit me.

Ever since, he has never stopped coming to visit me from time to time.

He buys me beautiful things like flowers and gift cards.

And lots more.

He remembers my birthday, Christmas, New Year's, even Thanksgiving.

Every special holiday.

I've been so blessed to have him.

He has been to me a son more than seven children could.

I love him so much.

You see, Helen, forgive us on what it's like to sit in a prison of greed.

But discovering you was the prisoner all along.

Let me tell you about a story that's in the Bible.

Matthew 18, 21 -35.

There was a king and a servant.

The king had loaned the servant some money.

And the king was ready to get his money back.

And the servant didn't even have the money.

The servant looked at the king and said, could you please have mercy on me?

I do not have the money right now.

The king looked at the servant's heart and said, okay, you and your family can

go.

Do you know what that servant did?

That servant loaned somebody else some money.

And it was time for that person to pay that servant back.

They didn't even have the money.

And instead of the servant remembering what the king did for him, he told that

man, I'm ready for my money.

And the man told the servant, please have mercy on me.

I don't have your money.

Could you please have mercy on me?

And that servant didn't even realize what he was doing.

He forgot that the king had mercy on him.

And he looked at that man and said, no, I want my money now.

And there were some people standing by watching what was taking place.

Who knew the king?

They ran back and told the king what they thought.

The king was appalled.

And he told them, bring him to me.

And when they brought that servant to him, he said, I heard what you did. Is

true?

And he said, yes.

And because he could not have mercy on the person that owed him, the king threw

him and his family in jail.

You see, it is very important if God can forgive us, we should have

that same grace to forgive someone.

who had hurt us deeply, my child and brother.

That's all I'm saying.

I have something I need to do.

We came this far.

Friends like sister.

We've been through it all.

Everyone sees us.

Yes, we know how we came this far.

Friends like sister.
