No, no.

What is it, I mean...

- Colossians 3:13,
Paul the Apostle says,

"Bear with each other and
forgive whatever grievances

"you may have
against one another."

And listen to this.

"Forgive as the Lord
has forgiven you."

Because no matter what
someone has done to us,

no matter how bad it's been,

we gotta learn how
to do what Jesus did.

And that's to forgive
unconditionally.

See that's one of the
main building blocks

of the foundation of
becoming a stronger,

more obedient Christian, amen.

Amen.

- Well what do you
say we praise the Lord

with some music, huh?

- Thank you.

So you still seeing that
guy over in Parkersville?

- No, he's down the road.

Couldn't handle
dating a cop I guess.

He said me being on the
job, I was too assertive.

He felt like our
roles were reversed,

whatever that means.

2 Adam 41
had a report of shots fired

at 5120 Oak Tree Road.

The neighbor reports one
shot heard from the location.

Well that concludes
our service tonight.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, before you leave,

we still need some volunteers
for the upcoming picnic.

So if you can help, just
see one of my girls here.

Girls stand up, come
on girls, stand up.

There you go, Elizabeth or
Naomi, just let 'em know

how you can help, okay?

God bless you guys, good night.

2 Adam 41,
update on the shots fired call?

Additional caller
reports that a tan SUV,

one male occupant, last
seen leaving the location

at a high rate of spee.

No further.

- It's probably just some
yo-yo shooting at the moon.

No sense of wasting a
good cup of Joe on tha.

- 2 Adam 41, we have that
vehicle northbound on Route 27,

Show is in pursuit.

It looks like he's
reaching for something.

- When we get this guy
stopped, watch your back.

- So girls, did you
get anybody to sign up

to help with the picni?

Oh yeah, just all the
usual folks.

2 Adam 41,
the suspect is eastboud

on Elm Court.

Copy 2 Adam 41.

- Don't, don't tell me.

Mrs. Parker offered
to bring her horrible,

horrible cornbread again.

Dad.

- 2 Adam 41, the suspect is
now southbound on Ivy Street.

Roger,
2A41, southbound Ivy.

- You remember last
year when we used it

to scrub all the pots and pans.

Now that's so bad.

- This guy's gonna
bail, get ready.

- How do you know?

He's slowing down.

2 Adam 41 is in foot
pursuit of the male occupant

through the parking lot
of the Ivy School Church.

Two horrible notes.

- Now young lady, that would.

Can I help you with
something, young man?

- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

We can just run in with
possible civilians in there.

This just became a
barricaded suspect situation.

Go around back and
watch the rear.

I'll get with dispatch
and get more units her.

- What's going on, son?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Get back or I'll shoot you.

- Just tell me
what's going on, son.

- I said get back.

- Daddy, okay listen to him.

- Okay, okay.

- 2 Adam 41 to dispatc.

Our armed suspect is now
barricaded inside the church

with possible civilian.

What's the ETA on
additional units?

2A41, additional
units are less than five.

- Sit down.

I said sit down.

- Okay, okay, go ahead girls.

Partner, Im
set up here in the bac.

- Copy that, get ready.

This could go
sideways any second.

If it does, we're going in.

- 10-4, I'm ready.

- That's right,
they're coming for you.

- Just be quiet.

I just need a minute to think.

- If we do go in and
the shooting starts,

watch your crossfire.

- Saying why don't you
go out the backdoor,

you still can get away.

- Get away?

Those aren't firetrucks
pulling up out there, lady.

- No, no, you still have time.

We'll tell the police that
you never even were in here.

- It'll be like none
of this never happened.

- Like none of it
never happened.

Just be quiet.

- Whatever you did,
it can't be that bad.

- Please be quiet.

- Maybe we can help yo.

- Or you can shut up.

That's what you
can do, all right?

Hey Lieutenant,
they called you out

on this one, huh?

- Yeah, I gotta stop
answering my phone at night.

What do you got, Mike?

- Well my partner and I
got a call of shots fired

at a house on the
west side of town.

We thought it was just some
guy shooting at the boogeyman,

but then we get an update
that he's fleeing the location

in a tan SUV.

- All right, let's check i.

- The guy blows a stop
sign right in front of us.

We chase him here, he
bails into the church,

grabs three people,
we set up a perimeter,

and here we are.

- You sure there's
only three hostages?

And do we know who they are?

- Yeah, we talked to
one of the church folks

who helped set up
after the service.

He said that the
only ones left inside

were the pastor and
his two daughters.

- Oh, it's Pastor Taylor.

I know him, he's a good man.

So, who does this
beauty belong to?

- It comes back
to a James Davies,

who conveniently resids
at the same house

our shots fired took place.

- Yeah, well that is conve.

Maybe we should get
a unit over there

to make sure no one got shot.

- I already got one, just
waiting for an update.

- All right, good work.

- We've got a
command post set up

in a room on the far
side of the church.

- You got all escape
routes blocked off?

- All the points of
egress are locked down.

He's not getting out
of that sanctuary.

- All right, show me
where we're set up.

- What's your name?

- Does it matter?

- It does.

- It's Kurt.

- Hi Kurt, this is my father.

He's the pastor of the church.

His name's Russel Taylor.

- Young man.

- And this here's my younger
sister, her name's Naomi.

And I'm Elizabeth.

- That's great.

We can all be buddies.

You can
show me where we have

our guys positioned
on the perimeter.

- Okay.

We've got two guys
coming in right here.

Then these two will flank.

What we'll do is we wil
push towards the north.

- You, come here.

- No, no, no, whoa, whoa, what
do you want with my daughter?

- Settle down, old man.

I just need her to go to
the door and peek outside.

Tell me what the
police are doing.

- No, no way.

I'll go.

- No, I said her.

- It's okay, it's okay.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

Naomi.

- I need you to look
through that door

and tell me what the
police are doing.

And if you run I'll
shoot your family.

You understand?

- Yes.

- Go.

- They're just
sitting out there.

How many?

- Lieutenant, I've got
a female at the door.

- Do you have any
eyes on the suspect?

- Negative, just the one f.

- Copy that, keep
watching for our bad guy.

Roger
that, Lieutenant.

- It looks like a lot,
but it's really dark

so it's hard to tell.

- Do you have any
contact information

for our suspect or the hos?

- No cell for our bad guy,

but we did get a cell number
for one of our victims.

A Elizabeth Roberts.

Dispatch is trying to
reach her now through 911.

They'll link us to her
once they make contact.

- What's that noise?

- It's my phone going off.

- Well shut it off.

Does anyone else
have a phone on 'em?

- No.
- No.

- It's probably just Bob cg

to see if we locked
up the church.

- Who is it, who's calling?

- It's 911.

- 911?
- Yes.

It says 911.

Probably the police.

- You think?

- Should I answer it?

- Hold on a second,
I'm thinking.

- Come on man, it's not
like they don't know

we're in here, really?

- Dad.

- All right, just don't give
them any information on me.

- Hello?

Yeah, this is Elizabet.

Yeah, we're in the church.

No, I can't say.

He instructed me not t.

Okay, they wanna talk to you.

- No way, they can
talk to you, not me.

- He says no, but he's
letting me talk to you.

- Don't give them any
information on me.

Put that thing on speaker.

- They're transferring
us to the lieutenant.

10-4.

- We have one of our victims,

Elizabeth Roberts, on the line.

The suspect refused to talk.

- Elizabeth are you there?

This is Lieutenant Morgan
with the police department,

can you hear me?

- Yes, yes we can,
you're on speaker phon.

- Does that include
James Davies?

- No, he said his name was.

- Morgan] No, we beliee
it's James Davies

who's in there with yo.

We have his SUV out
here in the parking lo.

- Yes, Mr. Davies is here.

- I said no information on me,

now hang that thing up.

No, don't hang up.

- Hang up the phone!

- No, no, no, no, don't ha.

Lost her.

- Now what are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna text
her my direct line,

so she can call me right back.

See what happens.

- Well looks like
our new police friend

sent us his contact info.

- So why did you
give us a fake name?

- I'm holding you
hostage at gunpoint.

You think I'm gonna really
give you my real name?

- So what now?

What happens from here?

- We wait.

- Wait for what?

Wait for them to
forget about you?

- If only.

We wait until I can figure
out a way out of here.

And how's
that gonna happen?

- But what then?

What happens once
you get out of here?

- Then I'm gone, not your
problem anymore, right?

- You think they're
just gonna let you go?

- They're not gonna
wait out there forever.

I'm not worth it.

- Do you really believe that?

You think the police'll
just pack up and go home?

- I'm sure they got families
they can go home to.

- How 'bout you, son?

You have any family
to go home to?

- Not anymore.

Might as well get comfortable.

We're gonna be here a while.

- Okay Lieutenant, the
tactical team is ready to go.

Our plan is to
kick the back door,

flash bang the place,
and subdue Mr. Davies.

- Okay Rose, just
keep your guys ready.

Okay, we're really not
at that point right no.

All right?

- Roger that.

- He gets a little excited.

All right, do we have
any more guys with Payor?

- Looks like the police
want to get us some dinner.

Tell 'em I said okay.

And that I want
an unarmed officer

drop the food off insie
the door, then leave.

And then if I see any
other police officers,

I'm gonna shoot the old man.

And also, we're gonna be
sending the sister to get it.

- Come on.
- So no funny stuff.

- Let me just get the food.

- No, no.

You're gonna stay here
with me and Daddy.

Call him.

- Morgan.

- Yes, this is Elizabeth.

- Hey Rose, we got her back.

- Elizabeth, how you guys?

- He said it's okay
to bring the food

to the front door.

But he wants an unarmed officer
to leave it inside, okay?

- Is that it?

- No.

He says that if
you try anything,

he'll shoot my father.

- Elizabeth,
Elizabeth you there?

Get me something to eat, huh?

Anything?

- Looks like they
won't try anything.

What's wrong with him?

- I don't know, it just st.

- Sit down.

- He has a bad heart.

- I said sit down.

- He's having a heart attack.

Dad, oh Dad.

- Please, we have
to do something.

- Dad, it's a, no.

Please give me my phon.

Please, we have to do some.

Please give me my phon.

- Don't come any close.

- Either shoot me
or give me my phone.

- Oh no!

- All right, no funny stuff.

They can come get your
dad and that's it.

No cops.

- Please give me
my phone, please.

It's a big problem.

- Morgan here.

- Hello, this is Elizabeth.

We think my father's
having a heart attack.

- All right Elizabeth, don't
go away, don't go away.

Mike, get in here right now.

Elizabeth, you sure hes
having a heart attack?

- Yes please, you've
gotta help him.

- Okay just calm down.

Now, is James gonna releas?

Yes, he will
release him but no cops.

- We can't do that.

- Why not, he says it's okay.

- We can't let paramedics
go into an armed situation.

James could take
them hostage as well.

- They're not gonna
send the paramedics in

because they think you're
gonna take 'em hostage.

Please.

- Just tell 'em I won'.

He
said he will not.

- My partner and I
will go in unarmed.

- Elizabeth, hold
on for one minute.

- Okay.

- You sure?

You know I can't force you
to go in exposed like that.

- Lieutenant, we know the risk.

But we gotta get
that old man out.

- Lieutenant Morgan?

- What's going on?

- They're up to something,
hang up the phone.

- Plus it'll give us a
chance to look around

and scope the place ou.

If we gotta go in later,
that intel will be helpful.

- Okay, just keep
your body armor on.

Get your partner ready and
grab a gurney from Fire.

- No please, my dad needs--

- Hang up the phone!

- Elizabeth you still there?

- Yes, yes, yes we're here.

All right put me on speaker,
I want to talk to James.

- Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

- James, this is
what's gonna happen.

I'm sending in two unarmed
officers with a stretcher.

They're gonna get Pastor Taylor

and they're gonna bring hi.

Do you hear me, James?

- Yes, he can hear you.

- Okay James, my
goal here tonight

is to make sure that we have
a peaceful resolution to this.

I'ma tell you right no,

you try to harm my
officers in any way,

my tactical team will e
in there in two seconds

and they will end this.

- He understands.

- My guys will be there soon.

Keep your dad comfortable.

- Sit.

All right, now I know
what they're doing.

Here's what's gonna
happen in here.

You, come here.

Hey, if y'all want me to let
them come in here and take him,

then come here.

All right, I need
you to go to the door

and come back and tell me
everything the cops are doing.

If you try anything I'm
gonna shoot your famil,

do you understand?

- Yes.
- Go.

Come here.

- No, please.

Please, my dad needs m.

- Y'all aren't listening.

If y'all want me to let
him go, then come here!

Lay down.

Let me go!

- Stop fighting, you're goe

my little insurance policy?

I'm not gonna hurt
you, all right?

- There's two police officers

coming towards the
door with a stretcher.

- Any guns?

- I can't see any.

- Sit down.

- Yeah, that should
do it, right.

Call HQ, give 'em an update.

- Okay, copy that, sir.

- Answer, put it on speaker.

Tell 'em the situation,
and if they try anythig

I will shoot you.

- Hello?

- Elizabeth, it's
Lieutenant Morgan.

My guys are at the doo.

Now they're gonna knock
when I tell 'em to,

but I want you to
stay on the line

and tell me when it's
safe for them to go in.

- Okay, he says that
they can come in.

Also.

- What is it?

- He has a gun
pointed right at me.

And he's going to shoot
me if they try anythin.

- Can he hear me?

- Yes, yes he can.

- All right James, I want you

to listen to me very carefully.

No one needs to get hurt here.

No one else needs to
get shot this evening.

My guys are not
gonna try anything.

They are there just
to get the pastor.

- Send 'em in.

- You can send them in.

- Thank you.

Rose, you there?

- Go 'head, Lieutenant.

- All right, it's a go.

Suspect has a female
hostage at gunpoint,

so I want you to
get in and get out.

Our priorities tonight is
to get the pastor to medical

and not escalate the situation.

- Copy that.

- It's never easy.

- Come in.

- How's it going in here?

- Tell him to shut up.

- He wants you to be quiet.

- How long has be
been like this?

- I said for him to shut up.

- He's only been like
this for a few minutes.

- Listen pal, we came in
here unarmed as you directed.

All right, we're
doing what you want.

But the doctors are gonna
need this information

to treat this man.

Now, does he has a
history of heart problems?

- Yes, he takes heart medicine.

I don't know what
kind of though,

but it's on file
at the drug store.

- Okay, that's
important to know.

- That's enough, tell him.

- He says that he
wants you to leave.

- How 'bout you let us take
one of the daughters out?

This could be this
man's last night,

and one of them
should be with him.

- No way.

- Please, please,
I'll stay with you.

All right.

- Come on, it's the
right thing to do.

It's their father.

- Please., you still have me.

They're not gonna come in
here if you still have me.

- All right, but
only she can go.

- Come on, ma'am, come on.

- I can't go without
you, I can't.

- Go, Daddy needs you.

I'm gonna be fine.

- Come on, lady.

Please don't hurt
my sister.

- How would you
describe the suspect?

- You know, I know you
won't believe this,

but I don't think he
wants to hurt anybody.

I think he's just more scared
and confused if anything.

- I got the same impression
when I was inside, boss.

I'm sorry Lieutenant,
but we got the passenger

stabilized and we have
to head to the ER.

Yeah.

- Thank you for saving
my father and I.

- No, it's all right,
it's all right.

- Look, I'm gonna send an
officer to the hospital

to get another statement, okay.

- Thank you.

Wait, what did James
do, did he hurt someon?

- No he, actually we
were just chasing him

for some traffic warrants.

- Thank you.

- Traffic warrants.

- After what she's been th,

I'm not about to tell
her that her sister's

being held hostage by a guy

who just shot his
girlfriend tonight.

Let's go.

- What?

- Nothing.

Why are you doing this?

- What, hiding in
here from the cops?

Carrying a gun,
keeping you here, what?

- All of the above.

- It's a long story.

You shouldn't concern
yourself with it.

Well it
doesn't really look lie

we're going anywhere
anytime soon.

And I'm sorry, but
when you came in here

and you stuck that
gun in my face,

you made it my concern.

- Like I said, you shouldn't
worry yourself with it.

Just sit there and be quiet.

- I also want to say thank you.

- For what?

For letting them take y
father and sister out.

- I hope your dad's okay.

- Thanks.

- Time to try and
make contact again.

- What's the plan?

- I'ma see if
they're still hungry.

- Looks like they're
getting impatient out there.

Nah, just getting us some food.

They're offering
us dinner again.

- Yeah, I'm pretty thirsty.

- Well looks like
they're still hungry.

Did you guys get
that pizza and sodas?

- Yeah, two pizzas
and a six pack of pop.

- Excellent.

- Hey, what's going on?

- Nothing, just
ordering us some food.

- Huh.

- What does it say?

- I asked if he could
see what she was textig

and the reply was no.

- Well that's great.

There's a bathroom, tell
her to get to the window.

We can pull her out and do
an extraction from there.

And end this thing.

- Hmm.

- Did you tell her?

- I told her that the
food is on its way.

Look, there's no way our
bad guy is letting her text

without him watching.

- I see, that's why you get
paid the big bucks, Lieutenant.

Yeah right.

I do like your bathroom idea.

Get your guys ready, I'll see
if I can get her in there.

- Will do.

- Oh and Mike.

- Yeah, Lieutenant?

- Have one of your
guys stop by the store

and pick up some female items.

- Female items?

- Yeah female items.

You know, freshen up stuff.

Just do it, I'll explain later.

- Copy that.

- What's wrong?

- It's on its way.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need
you to stand next to me again.

- You can come in.

You can sit the food right.

And then he says
you can step out.

- Help yourself.

What's this?

- How am I supposed to know?

Maybe condiments,
salt, pepper, napkins.

- I think it's for you.

I probably should have
had you test this firs.

In case they drugged
it or something.

To be honest with you, I
was just really hungry.

I bet you never thought
you'd be sitting in a room

with a lunatic like me tonight.

- No.

No, I don't think
you're a lunatic.

I think you're just some guy

that got himself into trouble

and took a wrong turn some.

- A wrong turn?

That's one way of putting it.

Except my wrong turn
started when I was bor.

I've been on the wrong
path every since.

- Did you have a
rough childhood?

- You could say that.

My dad got locked
up when I was five.

My mom died when I was 12.

I was pretty much
raised by the streets.

- Have you ever gone to church?

- You know to be quite honest,

this is the first time I've
ever step foot inside a church.

It's quite fitting
if you ask me.

- Fitting?

What do you mean by it's
fitting that you're in a church?

- You know who's out there?

I'm surrounded by cops.

I'm holding you
against your will.

And how do you think
this is gonna end?

- How is it gonna end?

- Well I'm not gonna give up.

And I know they're
not going anywhere.

I've got one gun and they
have 20, do the math.

- So that's it?

You came in here and did
this to my family and me,

just so that you can be
killed and end it all?

Well why wait for the
cops to come and do it.

You've got a gun, why
don't you do it yoursef

so I can go home and
be with my family?

- It's not an option for me.

- What's the differenc?

- 'Cause my mom killed herself.

She committed suicide.

She ended her life
and left me all alone.

- I'm so sorry.

- Nobody in this world
cares whether I live or die.

What's it matter?

- For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.

- What's that?

- It's a "Bible" verse.

It's Romans 3:23.

- What's it mean?

- It means that
we're all sinners.

- Some bigger than others.

- Sinning is sinning.

God doesn't rank it.

And he forgives each and
every one of us the same,

we just simply have to ask.

- And how do you know that?

- Because he told me s.

- You talk to God?

- Yeah, I do.

I talk to him every da.

- And he talks back?

Just like some
voice from the sky?

- No, he actually talks
to me through this.

- A talking book.

- Yeah, in a way I guess the
"Bible" is a talking book.

James, these are his words.

This is his message
to us and it's,

it's a message of peace, love,

and forgiveness.

- Yeah, that may
work for some people.

But there's really
a heaven and a hell,

I know where I'm heade.

- No, you don't need to--

- I've had enough talking.

- I really need to go
to the ladies' room.

- No not now, it can wait.

- I've been waiting hours.

I really need to go
to the ladies' room.

- Where is it?

- It's right down the
hall, I can be quick.

Come on.

- Okay.

But I have to go
in there with you.

- That's fine.

- You can use that one.

- You think you could
just turn around,

maybe face the other way?

- I don't want you
to try anything.

- What am I gonna do, escape?

Trust me there's
only one way out

and I'm not gonna fit.

- Just hurry up.

What's taking so long.

- You know it's a little uncomfortable with you listening.

Do you think you could turn
the water on, make some sound?

- Fine, whatever
speeds things up.

- It's from the
phone we planted.

- What's it say?

She's
in the restroom.

- My team's ready, bos.

- Let's go.

- Uh-uh, wait, wait, wait.

He's in there with her.

You know
who's out there?

I'm surrounded by cops and
holding you against your will,

and how do you think
this is going to end?

I'm surrounded by cops,
holding you against your will.

Gonna end, gonna end, gonn.

How is it gonna end?

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Open the door.

- I'm almost done,
I'll be right out.

- Open the door!

What are you doing?

- Nothing, I was just
using the restroom.

- Let's go.

- What's going on, Lieutenant?

My team's ready to go.

- She thinks she
can talk him out.

Our hostage.

- Mm-hmm.

- Look LT, he's
down to one hostage.

We've already been
in twice and I think

we can kick that
door and take him

before he can get a shot off.

It's time to end this thing.

- Look, if there's a chance
for a peaceful resolution,

we need to work toward it.

- Come on Lieutenant, these
things never end peaceful.

You know it's only
a matter of time

until he decides to off himself

and probably takes her wit.

- So you think you
can get to our guy

before he gets a shot off?

- Absolutely.

The front doors
aren't even locked.

- Well what if he gets that
shot off, one lone shot.

- I mean Lieutenant, that's
what body armor's for.

- Yeah, well it's too bad our
hostage isn't wearing any.

It's the hospital.

Morgan here.

- So you really believe
that stuff in the "Bible"?

- Yep, I do.

It saved me.

- Saved you, from what?

What's a girl like
you need saving from?

You're a preacher's daughter.

- Remember how I was
saying before, we all sin,

it's part of our natur?

Well, we have to take
responsibility for our sins

and understand that
there's a consequence

for sinning and all that.

And what that consequence,

it means eternal punishment.

So in other words, going tl

and spending
eternity with Satan.

In Romans 6:23, it says, "For
the wages of sin is death.

"But the gift of God
is eternal life."

See, to be saved, it
means that we're spared

from that eternal punishment

and rescued by the
Lord, if you will.

- So how does that wor?

How does someone get saved?

- It starts with forgiveness.

You have to ask the Lod
to forgive your sins.

- Is that it?

- Well that's part of it.

Simply asking for forgiveness,
that's not what saves anyone.

It's really believing
that Jesus Christ

was the true son of God
who paid for your sins

by dying on the cross
and that he rose again.

John 3:16, it says,

"For God so loved the world

"that he gave his
only begotten son,

"that whoever believeth
in him shall not perish

"but have everlasting life."

- That's a lot to ask for.

- Is it?

I mean is it a lot to ask for?

When in return someone
is granted eternal lif.

- Right okay, got it,
thanks for the update.

Our shooting victim
is out of surgery,

it looks like she's
gonna make it.

- Well great, lets
update our bad guy.

Let him know the lil woman
is gonna pull through.

Maybe he'll end this thing

now that he's not
facing a murder rap.

Hmm.

What is it, boss?

- Pastor Taylor, he coded
on the way to the hospital,

they couldn't bring him back.

Looks like our guy's gonna
face murder charges after all.

- Now everyone knows that
Jesus died on the cross,

what most people don't know
is that he wasn't the only one

who was crucified that day.

There were these two
convicted thieves,

one on each side of Jesus
that were hung that morning.

And here, can I get
a "Bible" for you?

Okay.

Turn to Luke 23, it's page 898.

Got it?

One of the criminals who hung
there hurled insults at him.

"Aren't you the Messia?

"Save yourself and us."

You see that man, he doubted
that Jesus was the Lord

because in his mind he believed

that if he was the
true son of God,

he surely would save himself
from that horrible death, okay.

So now continuing in verse 40.

But the other
criminal rebuked him.

"Don't you fear God," he said.

"Since you're under
the same sentence,

"we are punished justly
for we are getting

"what are deeds deserved, but
this man has done nothing."

See, that thief,

he believed that Jesus

was the true son of Go.

And then it continues.

In 42, then he said,

"Jesus, remember me when
you come into your kingdom."

See right there, that
condemned man dying on a cross,

he asked for forgiveness.

Continuing in 43,
Jesus answered him.

"Truly I tell you, today you
will be with me in paradise."

You see James, no one has ever
been saved any differently

than that dying thief
who simply believed

and asked for forgiveness
and asked to be saved.

Can I ask you somethin?

- You wanna know what I did.

- Yeah, they said
that you shot someone.

- I did.

I shot my girlfriend.

I didn't mean to.

We were arguing, she
went for the gun,

I tried to take it from
her and it just went off.

- Oh wow.

Well why didn't you
tell the police that?

- The police?

They don't believe
somebody like me.

They take somebody
like me and lock me up

and throw away the key.

- Well did you take
her to the hospital

or call an ambulance?

- No, I panicked so I ran.

And the cops started chasing
me so I panicked more

and ended up here.

- Well maybe she's all right.

I mean maybe she's not as
bad as you think she is.

- Not that bad?

I shot her in the ches.

I watched the blood
pour out of her.

Trust me, it's bad.

- Don't you wanna know for?

Don't you wanna know for
sure what happened to her?

I know I would.

I'd wanna know what
happened to someone

I really care about, if
they're alive or dead.

Like, I'd really like to
know how my father's doing.

- Call him.

Just to check on him.

- What about your girlfriend?

- Don't worry
yourself with that.

What
do you got, Mike?

- Sir, I got two guys n
the east corridor here

and then I've got two
more at the entrance.

- It's our hostage.

Morgan here.

- Yeah hi, this is Elizabeth.

- Can he hear me?

- No.

- No, no to what?

- No, they were just wondering
if you were letting me go

and I told 'em no.

No, he's letting me call to
find out how my father's doing.

And to also ask
about his girlfriend.

- Yeah, we just talked
to the hospital.

James' girlfriend
is out of surgery

and looks like she's
gonna pull through.

That's great.

Your girlfriend made
it, she's gonna be fin.

That's great news.

What about my father,
how's my father doing?

10-4.

- How's my dad?

- They did everything
they could.

- I gotta go.

- Elizabeth!

You better get over there.

This could go south real fast.

- Copy that, I'm
gonna move my team up

and get them
stacked at the door.

- Mike,

only on my order, okay?

- Understood, we'll
only go on your comman.

- Oh Lord, get us
through this tonight.

- Elizabeth, what'd
they say about him?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, why's
my little precious crying?

- A girl hit me.

- She did?

Now that wasn't very
nice now was it?

- Mm-mm.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, then she told
me she was sorry.

- Well that was nice of her.

Did you forgive her?

- No, because at
first she was mean.

- Well you know what
sweetie, we have to learn

to forgive people no matter
how mean they are to us.

- Well why, when they hurt me?

- Well, 'cause that's
what Jesus did.

Remember that story tht
I told you about Jesus,

how he died on the
cross for all of us?

- Yes.

- And you know what he did

before they did all
that mean stuff to him?

- No.

- He forgave 'em.

Now he forgave all
those mean people

for all that mean
stuff they did to him.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah.

- Go play.

Have fun sweetie.

Okay.

- Elizabeth, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

- In Colossians
chapter 3 verse 13,

the Apostle Paul says,
"Bear with each other

"and forgive whatever gries

"you may have
against one another."

And listen to this.

"Forgive as the
Lord forgave you."

- I forgive you.

- Forgive me,
forgive me for what?

Just tell me what they
said about your father.

- They said that my
father's in a good plae

and that he's
gonna be just fine.

James?

I need you to know that I've
forgiven you for everything

that you've done here tonight.

See my wrong turn
started when I was born.

I've been on the wrong
path every since.

Nobody, nobody in this world
cares whether I love or die.

What's the matter?

I want you out of!

Give me the
gun, give me the gun!

I said get ou!

- For all have
sinned and fall short

of the glory of God.

I forgive you.

For everything you've
done here tonight.

James, what are you doing?

No, no, no, no,
no, don't you dare.

- LT this is Rose, come in.

- Go 'head Mike,
what have you got?

- The situation has changed.

- Don't you even think abo.

James, come on, give me th.

We can end this right now.

- Sit down.

- James.

- I said sit down.

- No, I will not.

Mike, what's
the situation in there?

- The suspect has the
hostage at gunpoint.

She looks like she may
be begging for her lif.

We have to move now.

- James, give me the gun.

James, give me the gun.

- LT, you have to
give us the go.

We have to end this.

He has the gun
pointed right at her.

- Lord help us.

- It's a go, I repeat
it's a go, take him down.

- Copy that, we have our go.

Let's get ready, we go on.

- Enough people have
been hurt here today

and I'm not gonna stand around
and be a part of it anymore.

One.

- Come on, just give me th.

- Two.

- I know you're not
going to shoot me.

Just come on.

Three.

All right drop the
gun, everybody down!

- No!

Everybody--

- No, don't shoot him.

- Ma'am, get out of the way.

I'm not gonna let you
kill this man today.

Back out.

- Now you know we can't do.

Mike, what's
the situation in there.

- We have a standoff in here.

The hostage is standing
between us and the suspect.

- Tell him that I need
you guys to back out.

It's not gonna end this way.

Tell him!

- Sir she wants, she
wants us to pull out.

She wants us to pull out.

Please.

- Gun!

- No!

- If you have a shot at
that gun, take it now!

- No, no, no, no, please,
put your guns down!

He's not gonna hurt anyone.

- Ma'am, how do you know that?

He's already shot someone.

- That was an accident.

Listen, listen,
I'm here for you.

I'm not gonna let them hur.

Please, I'm here for you.

I'm not gonna let them hur.

- Why would you do that for me?

Look at what all I've done
to you and your family.

Your father's dead.

- I've forgiven you
for all of that.

Your heart may not
be heavy any longer.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Ma'am, don't do that!

Come on.

Stand down.

- But sir, he's still armed.

- I said stand down.

You
don't need to do this.

Just give me the gun.

Please, just give me the gun.

- Look at all the
trouble I'm in.

What life ahead is there f?

- Look at the opportunity
this situation has given you.

- Opportunity, what
are you talking about?

I've committed crimes.

We're in a room full of cops,
I can't get out of here,

what are you talking
about opportunity?

- The opportunity to turn
your life around, James.

Today, right here, right now.

But you need to do
something first.

You have to give me the gun.

Come on, it'll be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

All right,
let's get him.

- No, no, no, no, no hold
on, give it a minute.

- Listen, you can do this.

You can turn your life around.

I believe in you,
I believe in you.

And I promise, I'm
gonna be here for you.

- Okay go.

- Yes sir.

Ma'am.

Up.

Hey hold on.

I'm gonna be praying
for you, James.

I'm gonna be praying that
you stay the right course.

You okay?

Yeah.

- That was a pretty brave
thing you did here today.

Thank yo.

- Yeah, I don't
think too many people

would have helped him
out the way you did.

- I guess I just saw
something in him.

You know when he came in
here and he held me hostage,

I don't know I just never felt
like he was gonna hurt me.

It's like I saw
something in his eyes.

- Well, his girlfriend
got out of surgery.

The officers, well
asked her what happened

at the shooting.

- Yeah, what did she say?

- She said that you'rea
good judge of characte.

She was also the one
that got the gun.

He was just trying to
get it away from her

and it went off.

Come on, I'll give you
a ride to the hospital.

Your sister's been waiting
for you for a long time.

- So what it says in te
"Bible" to Romans 6:23.

"For the wages of sin is death.

"But the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ."

Come here, down here.

"Eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."

Let us now turn to
2 Corinthians 5:17.

"Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature.

"Old things are passed away.

"Behold, all things become"

You see everyone,
when you're saved,

you are as the saying
goes, born again.

You're considered a new
creation, a new person.

But most importantly,
a new ray of light.
