00:00:00I don't want to go in here, please!
00:00:21Please, please!
00:00:22Hello?
00:00:26Hi, I'm Laura, Laura Cowan.
00:00:33I'm sorry.
00:00:34What happened?
00:00:35He walked me in that room, and he nailed all the windows shut, and he put me in here.
00:00:41I don't know if it happened to me.
00:00:44It's gonna be okay, okay?
00:00:47You have to trust me.
00:00:49Okay.
00:00:50Look at me.
00:00:51Look, I know hope seems lost, and here I get that.
00:00:55But we're gonna get out.
00:00:57Until then, just prayers and words of encouragement to God.
00:01:02Just pray that he hears our cries.
00:01:04Hello, up there.
00:01:11Hello up there.
00:01:33I finally made it out of the cold and snow and gray.
00:01:39I used to dream about this.
00:01:42The sun, the warmth, everything.
00:01:46Your girl is 24 years old and never seen the ocean until this moment.
00:01:52Goodbye, Cleveland.
00:01:54Hello, California.
00:01:56Just look at it.
00:01:59Nothing but wonder and possibilities here.
00:02:02This is where I'm supposed to be.
00:02:04Bet you already knew that.
00:02:07Sis, give me a breath.
00:02:08I just got here two days ago.
00:02:09Where are you staying?
00:02:11Some studio apartment that is killing my savings.
00:02:14Things are so much more expensive here than they are in Cleveland.
00:02:18I bet.
00:02:19So when you run out of money, then you'll come home.
00:02:22What?
00:02:22No, I'm just getting started.
00:02:24With what?
00:02:26Living my life.
00:02:29Coming together and cleaning up Memorial Park for everyone.
00:02:32It's like this.
00:02:33When you start something for the community, if you can help the community, help each other,
00:02:38even just a little bit, then wow.
00:02:44Even small changes can have a positive effect.
00:02:48It's like when you throw a pebble into a lake.
00:02:51Sister, if you throw a pebble into a lake, you may not see that water rise, but you have to know that you made a difference.
00:02:58And then we all start throwing our pebbles in that lake, and we start what's called a movement.
00:03:03And when you have that movement, we give all praise to God.
00:03:06Amen?
00:03:07And that's what we're here for.
00:03:08So go ahead and sign up.
00:03:10Can you take this for a second?
00:03:11I'll be right back.
00:03:14Sister, I don't mean to startle you.
00:03:18I don't startle easy.
00:03:23I saw you take an interest in what I was saying back then.
00:03:26I was.
00:03:28But not now.
00:03:31You've been in Memorial Park long and know the city?
00:03:36Long enough to know not to speak to strangers.
00:03:40Shabazz.
00:03:43Laura.
00:03:44Laura.
00:03:46See?
00:03:46Now we're not strangers.
00:03:48Hey, um, I liked what you said, you know, about the pebbles.
00:03:58Well, if you like that, you should come back Saturday.
00:04:01Maybe I will.
00:04:03You know, what we're doing here is for the people in the community.
00:04:06Strengthen them is strengthen all of us.
00:04:08It takes just one person to make such a big difference.
00:04:11Okay, if I say yes, will you stop selling me on it?
00:04:14Yes.
00:04:16Then yes.
00:04:18Good.
00:04:19See you then.
00:04:38Got it?
00:04:39Hey.
00:04:40Made it.
00:04:41I did.
00:04:42You want me to work?
00:04:45What do you do besides chasing women in parking lots?
00:04:49That's my part-time game, actually.
00:04:51But, you know, I have three constants in life.
00:04:56There's God, family, and numbers.
00:04:58In that order.
00:05:01I want to be an entrepreneur and start my own thing.
00:05:05You know?
00:05:05All for the benefit of my family, my people, and God.
00:05:09Wow.
00:05:10That's impressive.
00:05:12You have it all figured out.
00:05:13Still a work in progress.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18Let's take this.
00:05:21How'd you get involved in all this?
00:05:23You know, I lived out here most of my life.
00:05:25It's really important to me to reach out and stay connected to the community.
00:05:30You know, I feel like if people see that I'm here to stand up for other people, maybe somebody will pick up that example.
00:05:38Nice thing you know, everybody's raised up.
00:05:43What?
00:05:43I like that.
00:05:54So, you just packed up your car and headed out here?
00:05:59No house, no job?
00:06:01Oh, yeah.
00:06:01I know it sounds crazy, but every year growing up, I used to watch the Rose Bowl parade, right?
00:06:06And when I'd watch TV, I'd see those people smiling, and the sun was shining.
00:06:11Then I'd look outside and see the snow, and it was cold, and I just knew that was not for me.
00:06:17No more Cleveland for Laura Cowan?
00:06:19No, no.
00:06:20And my mother was dead set on not letting me leave.
00:06:23She practically stood in front of my car before I left.
00:06:26But I just thought I needed to take a leap of faith and do this for myself.
00:06:32That's good.
00:06:34How's it working out for you now?
00:06:36I love it here.
00:06:39It's nobody's rules to follow.
00:06:41Well, Ms. Laura Cowan, I feel like you're the kind of woman who does what she wants, when she wants, in spite of anybody's rules.
00:06:52You know, I'm learning that about myself.
00:06:57So, what are your plans for...
00:07:01Well, I mean, to start, like I said, I'd definitely like to find a better job, get a bigger place, just thinking about my future.
00:07:12I was thinking about for Saturday, but we could talk about the future, too.
00:07:17Yeah, no, check this out.
00:07:32What do you think?
00:07:34Well, it's empty, so there's really not much to see.
00:07:37Yeah, that's true.
00:07:40Let's go inside.
00:07:42How?
00:07:42There's nobody in there for that.
00:07:45That's true.
00:07:46You coming?
00:08:01Okay, what is this?
00:08:02Well, uh, I'm going to rent this place.
00:08:09Yeah, I'm going to sell the best books over here.
00:08:12I'm thinking, like, some tables, um, chairs over here, maybe incense and plants, African art in the, in the window.
00:08:23You're serious?
00:08:23Shabazz, that's amazing.
00:08:28I'm just, uh, thinking of the future.
00:08:32Our future.
00:08:35Wait a minute, what are you getting at?
00:08:38Laura, I love you.
00:08:40I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
00:08:45But it's only been four months.
00:08:47It's too fast.
00:08:49Well, it should be.
00:08:50And everything tells me that I should slow down, but, honestly, I just don't know if I can live another day without you in it.
00:09:02So we should do this?
00:09:05Yes.
00:09:06But I'm going to need you to ask me a little better than that.
00:09:18I'm a simple man.
00:09:20There's nothing simple about my love for you.
00:09:23It is all.
00:09:25It is everything.
00:09:32Will you take the journey of our life together with me?
00:09:36Will you be my wife?
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:40Yes.
00:09:40Yes.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:49Oh, my gosh.
00:09:50Oh, uh, rings.
00:09:53Okay.
00:09:54Okay.
00:10:00Wow.
00:10:01This is beautiful.
00:10:12Will you show you the rest?
00:10:13Okay.
00:10:13Okay.
00:10:13Okay.
00:10:13Are you doing okay?
00:10:39Do you need anything?
00:10:40Okay.
00:10:40Welcome.
00:10:41Hi.
00:10:46Hi.
00:10:47Mama, me and Miriam were hungry.
00:10:49I'm sorry.
00:10:49I can't understand you with that language.
00:10:52Miriam and I are hungry.
00:10:53Great job.
00:10:54Okay.
00:10:54Well, can I help this customer out?
00:10:56I'm hungry now.
00:10:58Ahmed, lower your voice and I need you to have some patience, okay?
00:11:01But, Mama, don't you have to learn it, too?
00:11:03Mom's get to have a little less patience because they have more to deal with.
00:11:08That's not fair.
00:11:10It is fair.
00:11:11More to deal with, less patience.
00:11:15I'll feed them, my love.
00:11:18It's just every time you want something, he just...
00:11:20Okay.
00:11:21All right, Laura?
00:11:22All good?
00:11:23All good.
00:11:25All good?
00:11:26Good.
00:11:26Fish sticks?
00:11:27Yes.
00:11:28Yes.
00:11:28Fries?
00:11:29Yes.
00:11:30Yes.
00:11:30Welcome, gentlemen.
00:11:33Can I help you with something?
00:11:36Uh, Laura?
00:11:37Um, I'll, I'll, uh, I'll, I'll take care of them.
00:11:40Uh, brothers, I was just about to feed the kids and, um, you can look around for a minute.
00:11:45You know what?
00:11:46I got them.
00:11:48Sure?
00:11:48Yep.
00:11:49Let's tell me your business.
00:11:57See why I'm at peace with God.
00:12:00You're welcome.
00:12:03That's all you do is.
00:12:10Hello up there.
00:12:11Thank you for another beautiful day.
00:12:14So many blessings.
00:12:15My children, my life, and feeling closer to you.
00:12:19And as always, thank you for sending me this man.
00:12:23Every moment with him, I feel so connected to, well, life and everything.
00:12:29Mariam took forever to get to sleep tonight.
00:12:32And I'm Ed.
00:12:33As soon as his head hit the pillow.
00:12:39Wow.
00:12:40Who were those men today?
00:12:42In the store?
00:12:44Oh, um, remember I'm working on getting that storage unit building over on Clark.
00:12:50You know, just trying to secure our future for us, for the kids.
00:12:56God, family, and numbers.
00:12:59You remember that?
00:13:00I do.
00:13:01What are you writing tonight?
00:13:12I'm just talking to him like I usually do.
00:13:16I see you had something you wanted to say, too.
00:13:18What are you going to do with all these journal entries?
00:13:22Are you going to put them in a book?
00:13:24Because if so, I'll put them on that front shelf, right in the window.
00:13:28I'll be married to a star.
00:13:30No.
00:13:30No, no, no.
00:13:31It's nothing like that.
00:13:33I just, you know, I'm writing down all our memories.
00:13:37So that way when we're old and on the porch, we can smile at how a man tried me on a daily basis.
00:13:42Wife, you are so good in so many things.
00:14:05Do you need help?
00:14:06It's okay.
00:14:07Yes.
00:14:08Oh, yes.
00:14:09This is the second one.
00:14:12And then there was another, but they're a trilogy.
00:14:19So they're a trilogy and, um.
00:14:27Hands in the air now.
00:14:30What's going on?
00:14:35What's going on?
00:14:37Shavaz, what's going on?
00:14:38I know my rights.
00:14:38Shavaz, what's happening?
00:14:39Back.
00:14:40That's my husband.
00:14:41Step back.
00:14:41Okay, but I just need to know.
00:14:43Hey, Laura, just listen to him, okay?
00:14:43Tell me what's going on.
00:14:45Go inside.
00:14:45Ma'am, I'm going to ask you again.
00:14:47Please step back.
00:14:47Laura, just listen to him, okay?
00:14:48Shavaz, what did you do?
00:14:50It's fine.
00:14:50Ma'am, let us do our job, please.
00:14:52Can you please just tell me what happened?
00:14:54There was something arrested for trafficking in illegal firearms.
00:14:57What?
00:14:58No.
00:14:59No, my husband's a good man.
00:15:00Shavaz!
00:15:01I was suggesting I'm a lawyer.
00:15:04I'm sorry.
00:15:04You won't fight this.
00:15:28What does your lawyer say?
00:15:30It does not matter.
00:15:34I am guilty in his eyes.
00:15:37Yeah, but these men, they tricked you.
00:15:41You didn't know you were storing guns for them.
00:15:42I let them.
00:15:48I looked away.
00:15:49Makes me just as guilty.
00:15:52Yeah, but what about me?
00:15:56A man?
00:15:57Marry him?
00:15:58That is all I am thinking about.
00:16:01I acted in greed.
00:16:03Not for my family.
00:16:05That's not fair to you or to...
00:16:08But to them.
00:16:10I want money.
00:16:11I want my son to look me in the eyes
00:16:14and see a man
00:16:16who is willing
00:16:17to accept responsibility.
00:16:19Shavaz, please.
00:16:22I could not do this without you.
00:16:24Oh.
00:16:41Sister Laura.
00:16:57Good morning.
00:16:59Apologies.
00:17:00It's Musa.
00:17:01Musa Muhammad.
00:17:02I'm sorry.
00:17:03Do I know you?
00:17:04Well, I worked with your husband
00:17:07on some of the community projects,
00:17:08so we've met just a couple of times.
00:17:13I know things have been difficult
00:17:14since Brother Shavaz has been incarcerated.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:18Listen, your husband did so much
00:17:21for everyone else.
00:17:21I just want to see
00:17:23if there's something I can do for you.
00:17:25And that's really kind of you.
00:17:28Anything you need.
00:17:28You know, I just have to figure it out.
00:17:32But thank you.
00:17:33Brother Shavaz did say
00:17:34his wife is a proud woman.
00:17:36You've talked to him?
00:17:38Oh, yes.
00:17:38Many times.
00:17:40We've had conversation about faith,
00:17:42how to make things right with God,
00:17:44how forgiveness can work
00:17:46in all of our lives.
00:17:47Can I at least help
00:17:52put some of these books on the shelf?
00:17:54Those I'm actually taking off the shelf,
00:17:57sending them back to the distributor.
00:17:58I have to close the store, unfortunately.
00:18:01Oh, hi.
00:18:05Mommy, do we have anything to eat today?
00:18:08Of course we do.
00:18:09Come on.
00:18:12Go wash your hands
00:18:13and can you wake your sister up for me?
00:18:15Thanks.
00:18:17Please, take care of the kids.
00:18:21I'll keep working on these boxes.
00:18:35Why don't you just come back home to Ohio?
00:18:37I need to be here when Shavaz gets out.
00:18:40Plus, I don't want to see Mama's
00:18:41I told you so side-eye
00:18:42every time she sees me.
00:18:45Well, I just shut down the bookstore
00:18:47and we have to eat.
00:18:51I have a lot of bills
00:18:52that we need to take care of.
00:18:53Who is this man?
00:18:55He's a friend of Shavaz's
00:18:57and he's literally helped me out
00:18:58so much over this last week.
00:19:01I couldn't have got through
00:19:02any of this without your help.
00:19:05I really do wish there was something
00:19:06I could do for you.
00:19:07There is joy to be found in giving
00:19:09without expecting anything in return.
00:19:11I have to leave the house
00:19:19after next month.
00:19:22After that...
00:19:27Sister Laura,
00:19:30if I'm not being too forward,
00:19:34I have a suggestion.
00:19:36How long are you going to be
00:19:38with this man and his family?
00:19:39I mean, he's got five children.
00:19:42Seven.
00:19:43Mother of God.
00:19:44It's just temporary.
00:19:46Okay, I'll find a job,
00:19:48get back on my feet.
00:19:49Trust me.
00:19:51Everything's going to be fine.
00:19:52Family, this is Sister Laura.
00:20:09She and her children
00:20:10will be joining us.
00:20:11They'll just be here for a while.
00:20:13Say hello.
00:20:14Hello, everyone.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:17Back to your studies.
00:20:18This is my wife, Marva.
00:20:24Nice to meet you.
00:20:26Your kids don't go to school?
00:20:28We homeschool them.
00:20:29We feel it's better
00:20:31for their spiritual mind
00:20:32and keeps them safer
00:20:33in the hands of God.
00:20:34Already have Ahmed and Miriam
00:20:36signed up to join us.
00:20:38They can start next week.
00:20:43Ahmed, Miriam,
00:20:44let me talk to you.
00:20:45I'm realizing that Brother Musa
00:20:48has a different way
00:20:49of doing things.
00:20:50So we're going to stay
00:20:51on our P's and Q's
00:20:52while we're here.
00:20:53Okay?
00:20:53Mama's going to find us
00:20:54a new place
00:20:54and we're going to start over.
00:20:56How does that sound?
00:20:57Mama?
00:20:59Yes?
00:21:00What are P's and Q's?
00:21:04Yeah, did you draw
00:21:05them in the car?
00:21:11Hey, kids.
00:21:12You want to do something fun?
00:21:14Come on.
00:21:17Come on, guys.
00:21:19Come on.
00:21:21Hey, so the game is
00:21:23I'm going to be an animal
00:21:25but I'm not going to make a sound
00:21:26and I can't tell you what it is
00:21:28and just try to guess.
00:21:29What is this?
00:21:49Oh, we were just playing a game.
00:21:52Playing games is not
00:21:53what they should be doing.
00:21:54What they should be doing
00:21:57is studying
00:21:58and praying.
00:22:00They have finished that.
00:22:03Sister Laura,
00:22:03it is outside your boundaries
00:22:05to determine how much prayer
00:22:07my children get.
00:22:09Children,
00:22:10in the house,
00:22:11now.
00:22:11Now.
00:22:11Hello up there.
00:22:34Thank you for the roof over our head.
00:22:36but it's so quiet here
00:22:38and I think we need
00:22:39some light in this house.
00:22:41Maybe that's my purpose.
00:22:47Dad?
00:22:49Yes?
00:22:51Can I eat now?
00:22:53If you had mopped the floor
00:22:54when I asked you
00:22:55to mop the floor
00:22:56you wouldn't have missed
00:22:57eating time.
00:22:57This is praying time.
00:22:59Please grab your book
00:22:59and stand in the corner.
00:23:11Don't move
00:23:11until I tell you to move.
00:23:13Are you okay?
00:23:29You're so cold.
00:23:30Here.
00:23:32Are you hungry?
00:23:34Okay.
00:23:36Let me find you some food, okay?
00:23:43Something wrong?
00:24:03Jeans?
00:24:06Oh.
00:24:07Yeah, well.
00:24:09Children tend to lack self-control.
00:24:11It's up to us
00:24:13to make sure
00:24:13they stay in line.
00:24:15You understand that?
00:24:17Right?
00:24:19No, not really.
00:24:22Well,
00:24:23you will.
00:24:27Good night,
00:24:28Sister Laura.
00:25:07Lucy, you got a minute?
00:25:07Now, what is it?
00:25:13I need a job.
00:25:18A job for what?
00:25:22Well, I need some money.
00:25:26For what?
00:25:29For food.
00:25:30My children.
00:25:32Me?
00:25:33I mean,
00:25:33to contribute to this family.
00:25:34No.
00:25:37I don't need a job.
00:25:38I got this.
00:25:39Well,
00:25:40you get assistance
00:25:41and you pay for your groceries
00:25:42with food stamps.
00:25:52But we eat, though.
00:25:55Don't we?
00:25:56You do.
00:25:57I just thought
00:25:57maybe I could help.
00:26:00I thought you could help?
00:26:02How?
00:26:02Like you helped
00:26:05your husband
00:26:06with his business?
00:26:10Ran that right
00:26:11into the ground,
00:26:11didn't you?
00:26:18How?
00:26:19How exactly
00:26:20are you going to help?
00:26:22Right?
00:26:23You don't need a job.
00:26:24I got this.
00:26:25What was that about?
00:26:48Oh,
00:26:48I took the kids
00:26:49on a walk
00:26:49and we met your neighbor,
00:26:50Wendy.
00:26:51She's really nice.
00:26:52She said she was going
00:26:53to send over some flowers
00:26:54and maybe we can
00:26:54brighten up this place.
00:26:57Oh,
00:26:57yeah,
00:26:58we don't
00:26:58really socialize
00:27:00with everybody.
00:27:01Especially not that tight.
00:27:04What did you tell her?
00:27:07It was just
00:27:08a friendly neighbor
00:27:09conversation,
00:27:10Musa.
00:27:10Nothing crazy.
00:27:13Excuse me.

00:28:00They all look so hungry,
00:28:20so we just decide
00:28:21to share

00:28:23well,

00:28:43I feed you,
00:28:46I clothe you,
00:28:49and what do I get
00:28:51in return?
00:28:51I get
00:28:54disobedience.
00:28:55I get
00:28:56gluttony.
00:29:00We should be
00:29:02filling

00:30:58And?
00:31:02God

00:31:03what to do.
00:31:04It comes

00:31:06Musa.
00:31:07Come on,
00:31:08you can't

00:31:46catch a bus
00:31:47to see my
00:31:47husband.
00:31:49I don't think
00:31:49that's a good
00:31:50idea.
00:31:53They want to
00:31:54see their
00:31:54father.
00:31:55Brother Shabazz
00:31:56and I have
00:31:57spoken about it

00:31:58agrees with me.
00:32:01He doesn't
00:32:02want you to
00:32:02come.
00:32:03I'm sorry
00:32:04you spoke
00:32:04to my
00:32:05husband?
00:32:05Of course.
00:32:06And he
00:32:07was very
00:32:08clear
00:32:08about this.

00:33:01in the way you
00:33:01treat your
00:33:01children.
00:33:02you really
00:33:06think this
00:33:06is good
00:33:07for them?

00:33:09a soft
00:33:10life,
00:33:12Sister
00:33:12Laura.
00:33:15I can
00:33:15see why
00:33:16God saw

00:33:17take
00:33:17everything
00:33:17from you,
00:33:20send you
00:33:20here.
00:33:22God

00:33:24He has
00:33:24a way
00:33:25of taking
00:33:26everything
00:33:26from us
00:33:27so that
00:33:29we have to
00:33:30rebuild
00:33:30our lives.

00:33:33better.
00:33:35Vigilance
00:33:36and discipline
00:33:37show respect.

00:33:43could stand
00:33:44to learn
00:33:44some of that
00:33:45respect.
00:33:46My children
00:33:46don't need
00:33:47to learn
00:33:47anything
00:33:47from you.
00:33:50If they
00:33:51learn from
00:33:52me,
00:33:53they learn
00:33:54from God.
00:33:56And while
00:33:57they are under
00:33:58my roof,

00:34:01he teaches

00:37:56Oh god, Laura, where have you been?
00:37:58Look, I can't talk for long.
00:38:00I haven't heard from you in weeks.
00:38:02I've been worried about you.
00:38:03Hold on, Lauren is sleeping.
00:38:05Let me go in the other room.
00:38:15Okay, what's up?
00:38:16You sound like you're in trouble.
00:38:19I'm sorry.
00:38:20I had a bad dream, and I'm just getting out of it, so...
00:38:24Sorry.
00:38:25Laura, that makes no kind of sense.
00:38:28Okay, I gotta go.
00:38:29Now get in your room.
00:38:37His eyes are always on me.
00:38:40He watches me every day, locks us in our room at night.
00:38:43Every time I try to speak up, he hits me.
00:38:46Tells me if I try to leave, he will hurt my babies.
00:38:50I need you to help me find some strength.
00:38:52I feel it draining from me every day.
00:38:56What are you doing?
00:38:57Give me that back.
00:38:58I am teaching the lessons God has chosen me to teach.
00:39:03Now get inside and take care of your children.
00:39:07Or would you rather I take care of them?
00:39:09Or would you rather I take care of them?
00:39:39What are you doing in here?
00:40:04What time is it?
00:40:06Ahmed, Miriam, wake up.
00:40:09Go in the room with the other children.
00:40:11Come on.
00:40:12Go ahead, babies.
00:40:13Mama's gonna talk to Brother Moose, okay?
00:40:15I'll come get you in a little.
00:40:19Come on.
00:40:22Come on.
00:40:23What are you doing?
00:40:33What are you doing?
00:40:38No.
00:40:39No, no.
00:40:41You're not gonna do that.
00:40:42No!
00:40:43Don't you dare.
00:40:44No!
00:40:45No!
00:40:46No!
00:40:47No!
00:40:47No!

00:40:51No!
00:40:52No!
00:40:54No!
00:40:55No!
00:40:56No!
00:40:56No!
00:40:56No!
00:40:56No!
00:40:57Go to sleep, wife.
00:41:23You look confused.
00:41:27But I think you heard me.
00:41:29But that's your wife.
00:41:31I just told you.
00:41:33I am your husband now.
00:41:36That man will never want you again.
00:41:39Look at you.
00:41:42You're broken.
00:41:44You've got nothing.
00:41:47You've got nowhere to go.
00:41:50You belong to me now.
00:41:55Go to sleep.
00:41:59Go to sleep.
00:42:01Go to sleep.
00:42:03Go to sleep.
00:42:05Get out of here.
00:42:09I'm sorry.
00:42:39Take this stuff in the house.
00:42:47Don't worry about looking for your stuff.
00:42:50I threw most of it away.
00:42:52You had too much.
00:43:02Mama?
00:43:03Yes?
00:43:03Can I rub your belly again?
00:43:06Sure you can.
00:43:09I can feel the baby moving.
00:43:13You can.
00:43:14This one's a kicker.
00:43:17Is Daddy going to be here when the baby comes?
00:43:22No.
00:43:24Daddy's not going to be able to make it in time.
00:43:28God.
00:43:28Oh dear God.
00:43:33I think the baby's coming.
00:43:35Go get your brother.
00:43:36Stop being dramatic.
00:43:37It's not time yet.
00:43:40Do I look like I'm joking?
00:43:41I need to get to the hospital.
00:43:43No.
00:43:44Marva can handle it here if it's time.
00:43:48How's the pain?
00:43:49Does it feel like a contraction?
00:43:50No.
00:43:51No.
00:43:52I think something's wrong.
00:43:53I think something's wrong.
00:43:54I'll be right back.
00:44:10Good morning, Laura.
00:44:23Your baby girl is doing just fine.
00:44:26Vitals all check out.
00:44:26She's healthy as can be.
00:44:30Do you think I can see her?
00:44:32Of course you can.
00:44:34We usually wheel them in, but...
00:44:35No, but can you take me to see her?
00:44:39It's probably best if you rest and...
00:44:41Take me.
00:44:42Please.
00:44:44Take me down there.
00:44:46Okay, Laura.
00:44:46We can walk down the hall and see your baby now.
00:44:48She has just the sweetest face.
00:44:50No.
00:44:51No.
00:44:52Lay down.
00:44:53I need your rest.
00:44:58Nurse, please bring your baby here.
00:45:05We're checking out today as well.
00:45:25If you try anything like that again,
00:45:27then you'll never see that baby.
00:45:29We need some protection out here.
00:45:38What's her name?
00:45:40Tass Lima.
00:45:42But we're going to call her Tass.
00:45:44Do you like that name?
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:46It's pretty.
00:45:47She's pretty.
00:45:49Can I hold her?
00:45:50Kids, leave Laura alone now.
00:45:52Baby needs to eat.
00:45:55Yeah, you all stop messing with that child.
00:45:56After I feed her.
00:46:11You need to sign this.
00:46:13What's that?
00:46:15You got another mouth to feed.
00:46:17We need more assistance.
00:46:17Watch, Tass.
00:46:37Ahmed, what happened?
00:46:39What's wrong?
00:46:41Who did this to you?
00:46:44You did this?
00:46:45Why would you hurt him?
00:46:46He started it.
00:46:48Ahmed?
00:46:51See, that's how we know.
00:46:54He's not one of us.
00:46:57Still can't follow the rules.
00:47:00He's going to learn now.
00:47:02You let this happen?
00:47:04Are you crazy?
00:47:05They're kids.
00:47:09Ahmed, Miriam, go outside, please.
00:47:10You are evil.
00:47:23I should slap that blasphemy out of your mouth.
00:47:27How dare you?
00:47:29How am I evil when it is God who shows me the righteous path?
00:47:35How?
00:47:36How am I evil when my every action is God speaking?
00:47:44Through me!
00:47:46You take his words and you twist them.
00:47:50They mean nothing in your mouth.
00:47:53Laura.
00:47:55Laura!
00:47:55Laura!
00:48:00Hi.
00:48:03Hi.
00:48:04It's going to be okay.
00:48:05I must cast out.
00:48:18Cast out.
00:48:33Cast out.
00:48:34What are you doing?
00:49:00Cast you out.
00:49:02Musa?
00:49:03Musa, what are you doing?
00:49:04Give me my baby.
00:49:05Give me my baby.
00:49:06Cast you out.
00:49:06Give me my baby.
00:49:08Musa!
00:49:08No!
00:49:09I have the divine right.
00:49:12And I cast you out.
00:49:14Give me my baby.
00:49:15Cast you out.
00:49:16Musa, give me my baby.
00:49:17Give me my baby.
00:49:18Give me my baby.
00:49:19Out.
00:49:20Give me my baby.
00:49:21Cast my baby.
00:49:24Musa!
00:49:26Musa!
00:49:27Out!
00:49:29Musa!
00:49:30No!
00:49:30Musa!
00:49:30Musa!
00:49:31No!
00:49:32No!
00:49:34My baby!
00:49:36My baby!
00:49:37My baby.
00:49:39My baby.
00:49:52I'm...
00:49:53I don't know.
00:50:23I don't know.
00:50:53I don't know.
00:51:23I don't know.
00:51:53I don't know.
00:51:55How long are we going to stay here?
00:51:58I don't know.
00:52:01I need to use the bathroom.
00:52:05Okay.
00:52:09Okay.
00:52:13Okay.
00:52:15Okay, come on.
00:52:25Hold on.
00:52:35Stand up.
00:52:37Stand up.
00:52:38Okay.
00:52:39You can go now.
00:52:45Let's go.
00:52:53Let's go.
00:52:55Let's go.
00:52:57Go on.
00:52:59Go on.
00:53:09Dig.
00:53:11You better dig faster or I'll dig this hole deeper and put one of you in it.
00:53:24Now dig the hole.
00:53:25Dig the hole.
00:53:26The kids need to eat.
00:53:39Okay.
00:53:40Tonight we pray.
00:53:41Tomorrow we equal.
00:53:43Let's go.
00:53:44Let's go.
00:53:45Let's go.
00:53:46Let's go.
00:53:47Let's go.
00:53:48Let's go.
00:53:49Let's go.
00:53:50Let's go.
00:53:51Let's go.
00:53:52Look what I've found.
00:54:08Musa says you speak through him, but I know he's lying.
00:54:27All this writing, or has it gotten you nowhere?
00:54:49And who is up there that you think you're writing to?
00:54:56If you believe you're speaking to God, you show nothing but disrespect.
00:55:06What you don't seem to understand is that God has chosen me.
00:55:18He has shown me this path for you.
00:55:23He guides my hand, he gives me the words, and he gives me the power to cleanse this sinful
00:55:37world, and those in it.
00:55:39And those in it.
00:55:41I think that God has chosen me, and he gives me the power to cleanse this path.
00:55:52I'm sorry.
