What? Oh my [laughter] God. Okay, I'm going to go change and I'll meet you at the hospital.
Speaker A
Guess what? My daughter's having her baby. Yeah. Can you close tonight? Thank you. He's so cute.
Speaker A
He looks like you. Look at him. He's a cutie pie just like you. Hi, family. [laughter] Hey, big sister.
Speaker A
Oh, I didn't make it in time. I wanted to be here for you. Don't worry, Mom. You're here now.
Speaker A
Angelica, [music] she was great. He just wanted to be with his family. Look, Grandma. He's so cute.
Speaker A
Oh, he's as beautiful as you are, buddy. Your first grandson, Angelica. He's so beautiful.
Speaker A
I'm so proud of you. Me, too, honey. You are really brave. Thank you. [snorts] I couldn't have done this without you.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Hello, Martinez. Oh, hi Jackie. No, I'm at the hospital. No, I'm fine. My wife just had her baby.
Speaker A
Hey, can we talk tomorrow? Okay. All right. Bye. Who was that? Just, uh, one of the co-workers from the office. I can talk to her tomorrow.
Speaker A
Sweetie, you have a call in line, too. It's your lovely ex-wife. Thank you. Hello.
Speaker A
I just called to inform you that you're a grandfather again. Really? That's great. Is it a boy or a girl?
Speaker A
It's a boy. Oh, we've known for months, James. But since you never call your daughter, not even during her pregnancy the last nine months,
Speaker A
you had no idea she was having a baby boy. Well, I'm sorry I didn't ask sooner. But for your information, I do call her.
Speaker A
Really, James? Hm. I have my doubts about that. Listen, I'm going to catch a flight up there tomorrow morning to congratulate her myself. Can you tell her and my grandson that I'm coming up? Can you do that for me, Angie?
Speaker A
James, why don't you have the decency to call her yourself? And don't call me Angie.
Speaker A
Angelica, why are you always— Kathy had her baby. It's a boy. I need you to make me a reservation for [music] first thing tomorrow morning.
Speaker A
Yes, Mr. Miller. As you wish. What? Angie. Well, come on, baby. Please. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker A
[clears throat] I have this friend. He— He called me. He wants to buy some merchandise. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker A
How does your friend know about the merchandise? Oh, um, I told him. You told him? And where do you know this friend of yours from?
Speaker A
He's a trusted friend. [snorts] And who is this trusted friend? His name is Lou.
Speaker A
Lou what? You what? Blue Martinez. I think the guy he's talking about is the guy who owes me money. This guy, idiot. You know what to do.
Speaker A
Go with truck. Hey, shout man. Kevin, why are you in such a hurry? Who are you running from?
Speaker A
How do you know me? You d— There's a path of light that can lead you from the darkness, Kevin.
Speaker A
Who the hell's that guy? Nobody. I took care of it. Let's go. Girl, he really likes you. He's cute.
Speaker A
And most of all, he's filthy rich. You know he's going to spoil you. I don't think so, Lily. I don't sleep with guys for money.
Speaker A
Well, what about Alan? That's your shop, daddy. Jenny is easy money. Bye, Lily. Your sister just had a baby boy.
Speaker A
Wow, that's awesome. Why didn't you call me? I did call you, but you never answer, my love.
Speaker A
Yeah, I was in class. Oh, you have to see him. He's so cute. And Betty's so happy.
Speaker A
That's great. Send me pictures. Okay. Oh, I'll send you pictures of them, but please, Jenny, call me.
Speaker A
I will. I promise. I miss you so much. Hey, take care of you. Okay, I will.
Speaker A
Oh, honey, I have to go. Someone just came into the store. I love you, honey.
Speaker A
Okay. All right. Love you. Bye. Bye. You don't have to be afraid anymore. Your problems are over.
Speaker A
Martha, Angie, honey, how are you? Oh, I am so thrilled about my new grandson. Oh, Martha, he is so cute. And now, Betty looks so big.
Speaker A
Oh, I can't wait to see him. Angie, it smells really good in here. I'm making us some pasta. You're gonna love it. Do you know me? Well, I love pasta.
Speaker A
I know. That's why I made it. So, tell me, how's your son's rock band doing?
Speaker A
They just had an audition today, and he said they were delighted with the group.
Speaker A
Now, you tell me, how's Kathy? And what is your grandson's name? Well, Kathy's fine. Alex said she was very brave. Oh, you know, the baby was already born by the time I got there.
Speaker A
They named him David. How nice. They gave him a king's name. King's name. Oh, hey. Yes. In the Bible, King David is a king. Here we go. Martha, I don't want to talk about the Bible right now, but
Speaker A
David is a fine name indeed. That's fine. We won't talk about that for now.
Speaker A
Does grandpa know? I called James earlier to let him know the good news [music] 'cause I knew if I didn't call him, he wouldn't even think about calling Kathy.
Speaker A
I can't stand talking to him. Just the sound of his voice makes me angry.
Speaker A
Angelica, it's healthy to forgive. What happened between you two is in the past. It's time to forgive. Your family's growing.
Speaker A
You are blessed. Forgive, Martha. How am I supposed to forgive a man that cheated on me and then abandoned me and his children?
Speaker A
You know, we've talked about this before, and you always bring up the forgive word.
Speaker A
Angie, [music] you have to stop. All that bitterness isn't good for you and your family. He makes me angry.
Speaker A
You don't understand. He was supposed to be with me. He was supposed to be with his children at the most important time of their lives. You— You don't understand how it feels. You— You don't know.
Speaker A
I think that you still love him. That's why you're so angry. Use that love to forgive him and let God do the rest.
Speaker A
Enough about that. Fine, Angie, as your [music] friend and because I love you, I won't let you drown in that hate and bitterness. I'm praying for you, Angie.
Speaker A
When we finish dinner, I'm going to show you pictures of my gorgeous [music] grandson. But first, let's toast to him.
Speaker A
To David. And to you, my friend. Let's pray. Damn, I've been waiting for you. Where have you guys been?
Speaker A
I know this guy. Is he your— That's right. You know who I am. We've been looking for you for a long time. They say you can pay.
Speaker A
Hey, what the hell? What's going on? Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's going on? Hey, shut that guy. What are you doing?
Speaker A
Somebody call 911. We have breaking news this morning. The police are searching for a suspect in a possible murder of a man last night outside a bar in the downtown area.
Speaker A
Stay tuned for this breaking news and more. Hello, Dad. Hey, son. How are you?
Speaker A
Dad, listen to me. Hey, if you're calling to tell me about your sister, it's a little late, bud.
Speaker A
Your mother already told me. I'm in trouble. Big, big trouble. Trouble? What kind of trouble? What's wrong?
Speaker A
A friend of mine was shot and I'm the last one they saw. Where are you now?
Speaker A
I'm at my apartment. Okay, listen. Don't leave your apartment and don't open the door.
Speaker A
I'm actually on my way to catch a flight to go see Kathy. Hey, does your mother know about this?
Speaker A
No, she doesn't know. Dad, it wasn't me. You have to believe me. Let me make a couple of phone calls and I'll call you right back.
Speaker A
I heard that. William, it's me, James. Listen, I'm going to need your help. [music] Call him my father.
Speaker A
He's on his way. I'm so scared, Kevin. I don't want to be alone. I don't know anyone else but you.
Speaker A
What are we going to do? I don't know. [music] Are you sure that it's only for a couple of hours? Okay, no problem. I have everything at the office. Okay, bye.
Speaker A
Honey, I have to go to an emergency meeting at the office. It's not going to bother you if I have to leave for a couple of hours, is it?
Speaker A
No, of course not. Betty can help me with the baby. I'll try to be home for dinner.
Speaker A
Jenny, wait. Baby, leave me alone. I want to talk to you. Oh, don't tell me your conscience is bothering you. Listen, you— No, you listen to me, you bastard. Don't touch me and don't come near me again.
Speaker A
Oh, you're mine, Jennifer. I got you right where I want you. Mom, what are you doing here?
Speaker A
What do you mean, what am I doing here? Kevin, why haven't you told me anything about this?
Speaker A
And who is she? Uh, I'm— I'm Cynthia. Mom, she's my girlfriend. Dad, why did you tell her?
Speaker A
Sooner or later, she was going to find out.
Speaker A
Why are you living under these conditions? That's not important right now. Dad, I'm innocent.
Speaker A
We believe you. Listen, I've already spoken to an attorney, but But what? You have to turn yourself in.
Speaker A
What? Dad, what? No, yes. You don't know these people. What people are you referring to?
Speaker A
Kevin, what are you talking about? Kevin, tell us, son. Look at it this way.
Speaker A
If I talk, I'm a dead man. Why would anyone want to kill you? Did you know anything about this?
Speaker A
No, I didn't know anything. Okay. Listen, I think it's best if you tell your mother and me exactly what it is you got yourself into this time.
Speaker A
Hello. We're in the kitchen. Hi, Princess. Hey, you studying, huh? Do you need any help?
Speaker A
No thanks, Dad. It's pretty easy. Hi. I'm really sorry, honey. I wanted to be here to help at dinner, but the senator was at the meeting, and you know how that goes.
Speaker A
Hey, where's David? He's asleep. So, how is the meeting? I have good news and bad news.
Speaker A
Tell me the bad news first. I have to go to Washington DC for a week.
Speaker A
Okay, that wasn't so bad. What's the good news? I have just been promoted to regional campaign manager for Senator Wallace.
Speaker A
Oh my god, Alex. [laughter] Congratulations. I'm so proud of you, Daddy. Thank you, princess.
Speaker A
Thank you. [laughter] I'm so proud of you. Oh, man. Who is it? Detective Saran and Detective Feebo.
Speaker A
They're here. Detectives. Let's search for Kevin Miller. See the warm, please. Kevin, it's time, [music] son. Put your hands behind your back, please.
Speaker A
No. Come on. Come with me. Come with me. I love I love you. You have the right to remain silent.
Speaker A
Anything you say can be held against my present for questioning. Take him outside this city and burn the body.
Speaker A
Please do not talk to me that way. I know what you're thinking. And I didn't do this to trap your son.
Speaker A
This may sound childish and stupid, but I do love Kevin and I know he loves me.
Speaker A
Honey, love doesn't pay for diapers and baby food. I know that. This isn't the result of some casual fling. Kevin and I have been seeing each other for over 7 months now.
Speaker A
7 months? Why hasn't he told me anything about you? He's tried calling you several times, but you were always either in a meeting or unavailable.
Speaker A
So Kevin tried to call James to talk about you, but he didn't even tell me.
Speaker A
The person that's closest to him, and oh, what a surprise. James was always in a meeting when he called. You have never had time for your kids. You're too busy trying to maintain that that Playboy lifestyle.
Speaker A
Can you calm down, please? This is not the place to air our family business.
Speaker A
Oh, fine. I will keep my mouth shut and pretend like you're some great father.
Speaker A
Thank you. I suppose you're going to want some money for an abortion. No. Kevin and I discussed this and we're keeping the baby.
Speaker A
Really? What do your parents think of all this? They called me last week and they kicked me out of the house.
Speaker A
They think Kevin's a low life. Nothing. Nobody talks about my son like that. He is not a low life. And and just what kind of a girl are you anyway?
Speaker A
Can you calm down, please? You're going to get us thrown out of here. Look, it's been a long night and we're all tired. Cynthia, I don't want you to worry about anything. I'm going to take care of you and the baby until Kevin
Speaker A
gets out of this mess, okay? understand? Yes. Okay. Everything's going to be okay. Can we get the check, please?
Speaker A
Hey, baby. I've been looking for you. Alan, I told you not to come around anymore.
Speaker A
Why did you kill our baby? Alan, that was your idea. You pushed me to do it.
Speaker A
Oh, I'm going to call your mommy and I'm going to tell her you killed our baby.
Speaker A
Alan, why would you do that? You can't do that, Alan. Alan, please, I'll do anything.
Speaker A
Oh, that's my girl. And you? We're going to party hard tonight. So, be ready by 7.
Speaker A
Thank you, detective. [sighs] How you holding up, son? That's my friend William. He's your attorney.
Speaker A
I'm scared. Dad, they said they got witnesses. Captain, it'll be all right. I'll be working your case and uh I'm going to do the best I can to get you down.
Speaker A
You're in good hands with William. Tell me the truth. Let me know what transpired during the shooting.
Speaker A
Oh, my phone. Okay. Hello, Angelica. How are you? What? Oh my god. When did that happen?
Speaker A
Okay, I'll let Kathy know. All right, we'll talk later. Bye. Alex, what's wrong? Alex, what's wrong? Daddy, everything's okay, sweetie. I need to talk to mommy about something important.
Speaker A
Okay, go to your room TV. We'll be there soon. Alex, what's wrong? Did something bad happen?
Speaker A
It's Kevin. Hello. It's me, James. The hearing is set for tomorrow morning. How's our son? How's Kevin?
Speaker A
He's worried. I have a meeting with uh William later. Listen, Angelica, we need to meet up and talk.
Speaker A
Well, I was just getting ready to go see Kathy. Oh, no. Kathy, I've been so wrapped up in this thing with Kevin, I completely forgot about her and the baby.
Speaker A
Listen, let me give her a call now. We can meet up in a restaurant somewhere near your house.
Speaker A
Send me the address and I'll meet you at 7:00. Julie, it's me, James. How's everything in the office? Good.
Speaker A
Listen, things get a little complicated down here. I'm going to be about another week. I'll call you later at home.
Speaker A
Okay, honey. I love you. I love you, too. Bye. We have the whole week to ourselves.
Speaker A
a little late, but I'm here. Thank you for coming. I saw Kathy first. I uh told her about Kevin and the new family member.
Speaker A
She was so happy to see me. And the baby is so cute. Yeah. And Betty is getting so big and beautiful.
Speaker A
Yeah, they are beautiful. You know, we have two grandchildren together now. Welcome. Can I start you with a drink this lovely evening?
Speaker A
Uh, I'd like a Merllo, please. And for you, sir? Some things never change. I'll have the same as well, please.
Speaker A
I'll be right back. Thank you. You look very pretty this evening, James. I I'm sorry. I'm just saying it's an observation. [snorts] Do you remember the last time we drank wine together?
Speaker A
H we were alone. You know, I knew this wasn't a good idea. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please, please don't go. Please sit down. I'll behave. I promise.
Speaker A
James, I came here to find out what's happening with Kevin. That's the only reason.
Speaker A
I know. And here's your Merllo. Thank you. So, what's going on? We're hoping he gets bail. We should find out any day now. And if he does, I'll take care of everything.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'm worried. I know. Angie, Angelica, everything is going [music] to be okay.
Speaker A
a baby. Kevin's going to be a dad. That's crazy. Too crazy. Are you okay?
Speaker A
I'm fine. Uh Kathy, there's somebody at the door. So, I'll call you later. Don't worry. Kevin is fine so far, and dad has taken care of everything.
Speaker A
Okay. Um just call me if you hear anything. I promise. Good night. All right. night.
Speaker A
Great. What do you want? So, did you hear what happened? Lily, I really don't have time for this.
Speaker A
Alan got hit by a car and he's going to die. What? That's to be you.
Speaker A
I'm scared. Hey, I've been stressed before. This time I am really scared. I don't know what to say, Angelica.
Speaker A
There's only one thing for us to do. What's that? Pray. Pray. And what am I going to gain from that?
Speaker A
Sometimes when you don't know what to do, all you can do is leave everything, all your worries, your fears, your concerns in God's hands.
Speaker A
Please don't start with that again. Hear me out. If you would just trust, only God can take care of your problems.
Speaker A
Do you really think he'll listen to me? Yes. He listens to [music] everyone's prayers.
Speaker A
He listens to my prayers. He healed me of breast cancer. Remember, why would he not listen to yours?
Speaker A
But the answers don't always come how you want or when you want. You just have to trust and he will deliver.
Speaker A
With him, you will feel peace in the midst of this storm. Oh, good morning. Uh, forgive me. I'm I'm late.
Speaker A
Don't worry about it. Are you okay? Oh, I'm I'm very nervous. James, what is wrong?
Speaker A
They found another body and it's being linked to this case and Kevin may also be a suspect.
Speaker A
No, I know. I know. It doesn't look good. 212. So, why don't you just be all right?
Speaker A
So, what's going to happen now? Well, The discovery of this second body has definitely made matters worse. So, relax. I'm going to do the best I can.
Speaker A
Just give me some time. Okay, William. Please do whatever you have to do and don't worry about the expense.
Speaker A
Okay. Thank you. I'll take care of it. Betty, will you watch your brother while I grab that?
Speaker A
Okay, Mommy. Hello, Kathy. Alex's wife. Who's this? Hello. Hello. Alex, someone just called for you.
Speaker A
Was it from the office? Someone by the name Jackie? Oh, yeah. That's the senator's daughter.
Speaker A
That's weird. I wonder why she's calling so early. Uh, she hung up on me.
Speaker A
She did. Why would she do that? I'll call her on the way to the office. Maybe the call just dropped.
Speaker A
I'm going to be late for school. No, no, we're not, sweetie. We're leaving right now. Alex, I left breakfast on the stove. I'm taking Betty to school.
Speaker A
I'll see you guys later. Hello, Cynthia. [music] It's Angelica. I've been thinking about you and the baby.
Speaker A
I know your parents kicked you out and uh well, I'd like to help you if you'll let me.
Speaker A
You, Angelica. I'm grateful for you and Mr. James, but honestly, I I'm just scared.
Speaker A
Well, don't be. We'll take care of you. If you'd like, uh I could pick you up.
Speaker A
We could get some breakfast, talk for a little bit. Yeah, sure. Okay. Where are you now?
Speaker A
Well, you haven't called me and I was worried. I didn't see you this spring break.
Speaker A
I know. It's just that I've had so much school left. I know, honey. But I want to see you.
Speaker A
I can buy you a plane ticket to come here or I can go and see you.
Speaker A
Do you need any money? No. No, I don't need money and you don't have to come see me. I'll let you know when I can go. Daddy, don't worry. I'm fine.
Speaker A
Okay. I love you, sweetheart. Take care of yourself. Hello William. Hi, James. Yeah. How are you? [music] I'm good. I have good news for you. The police identified the other body and he was bodyguard. They also found the
Speaker A
weapon that killed Kevin's friend. It's the same one that they used to kill bodyguard.
Speaker A
That's great. That's great news. We just have to wait for more information and the results of the fingerprints on the weapon.
Speaker A
Good. Thank you. Thank you, William. Keep me informed, please. I will. All right, Jenny. I haven't seen you for days.
Speaker A
Well, oops. I mean, I've been coming around, but you're not here. Where have you been? You look tired.
Speaker A
Jenny, what happened? Come sit down. Jenny, tell me what's wrong. I'm here to listen and pray with you.
Speaker A
Get real. God doesn't want to hear me. I've done a lot of bad things. God forgives everyone, no matter what wrong they've committed. He just wants you to confess your sins to him with an honest heart and be willing to change.
Speaker A
Gabriella, I don't deserve to live. Jenny, don't say that. Just tell me what's wrong and we'll pray together.
Speaker A
Well, when I started school, I started dating this guy, Allan. I fell in love with him, what I thought was love. And we were here in my [music] dorm one night. And one thing led to the next.
Speaker A
It was my first time. A couple months went by and I started [music] feeling strange, so I took a pregnancy test.
Speaker A
And I called Allan. That's when my nightmare began cuz he told me that I was making it up. He told me that he didn't believe me and he avoided me.
Speaker A
[snorts] And then one day he came by and he told me to get in his car.
Speaker A
And I thought that we were just going to talk but he drove me to an abortion clinic.
Speaker A
[snorts] I killed my baby, Gabriella. I don't deserve forgiveness. [snorts] [sighs and gasps] When are you going to end it with him?
Speaker A
I'm getting tired of waiting. Look, I don't want to lose my job. I need his money in my apartment.
Speaker A
Just have to be very careful. Or do you want to lose your job, too?
Speaker A
Of course not. Just be patient. [snorts] Let me think. [sighs and gasps] I'll come up with a plan.
Speaker A
Mom, you bringing Cynthia? What's going on? Kevin, your parents are taking very good care of me and the baby.
Speaker A
Oh, thanks, Mom. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? I'm great. Actually, [laughter] Angelica went with me to one of the doctor's appointments.
Speaker A
We finally heard the baby's heartbeat. Really? It's so awesome. It sucks that I'm in here.
Speaker A
I won't be able to be there with you. Don't say that. No touching. Your father called me and he said your trial is going to start in a few days, but the prosecution is still pressuring out the charges.
Speaker A
Kevin, don't be so negative. You will be out of jail soon and you will be with us.
Speaker A
I've told you so many times to be careful. I know. Since I've been in here, I've been thinking a lot.
Speaker A
I can't stop thinking about you and the babys have. This is for you. It's from Martha.
Speaker A
a Bible. [clears throat] Martha has shown me that reading God's word is very comforting, especially in times like this.
Speaker A
You talking about God? Wow, Mom, that's surprising. Kevin, come on. Sorry Mom. Look inside the Bible in the back.
Speaker A
Are these pictures? Kathy sent them. Oh, she's coming to see you soon. Betty is so pretty. And David is getting so big.
Speaker A
Kevin, your time is up. Cynthia, I love you. Mom, please take care of her.
Speaker A
Oh, I I will. This is so hard. Kathy, mom, come in. Mom, what's wrong?
Speaker A
Kevin looks so sad. He's going to be a father in jail. [sighs] Martha was right. I did you wrong by not raising you kids with the fear of God. I mean, I didn't even speak to you about God.
Speaker A
So, what did the lawyer say? Well, they found new evidence that proves that Kevin is not the killer, but he's still facing other charges.
Speaker A
How's his girlfriend doing? She's fine. She went to see Kevin with me. You know, she's 5 months along now.
Speaker A
I don't think he's going to get out before that baby's born. Mom, I really don't like seeing you like this.
Speaker A
I'm sure that dad and the lawyer are going to do everything in their power to make sure it's all going to be okay.
Speaker A
I know. Where's the baby? I know. He's sleeping right now. [snorts] How's Alex doing at his new job?
Speaker A
Oh, I think he's doing too good. What is that supposed to mean? Is everything all right?
Speaker A
Yes. No. Yeah, everything's great. Are you sure? Of course. [music] Hi, honey. Where have you been?
Speaker A
And you smell like alcohol and perfume. Oh. Um, the senator invited us out for a few drinks after work and I couldn't say no. You know how that is.
Speaker A
And let me guess, his beautiful daughter was there. Come [snorts] on, Kathy. What? You think I'm stupid?
Speaker A
What are you talking about, Kathy? Calm down. Nothing happened. This, Alex, I'm talking about this.
Speaker A
Kathy, let me explain. Explain? You must really think I'm stupid. I don't need you to explain anything to me. I have all the proof I need right here. Is that how you got your big promotion, Alex? By flirting
Speaker A
with the senator's daughter? No. No, Kathy, don't think like that. And you're drunk. I I can't believe this. I I'm going through the same exact thing my mother went through.
Speaker A
Kathy, [music] please listen to me. Don't think like that. Kathy. Kathy, let me explain.
Speaker A
Wait. Hello sweetheart. [snorts] Mom, we need to talk. Kathy, what's happened? What's wrong? Is something wrong with one of the kids?
Speaker A
No, the kids are fine. Well, then what's wrong? I need to talk to you.
Speaker A
Okay, I I'll come over to your house right now. No, I want to meet somewhere else. Can we meet at the winery near your boutique?
Speaker A
Yeah, Kathy, sure. Just just be careful driving. I will. A look who's here. Hi, Alex. Are you busy?
Speaker A
Yes, really busy like always. Well, I had a great time with you last night. I hope I didn't get you in trouble with your wife.
Speaker A
When I was leaving, you hugged me and you stained my shirt, Jackie. Is that intentional?
Speaker A
If it was, it was very clever. Well, thank you. And you smell so good.
Speaker A
I'm a friendly person, but don't get that confused. And who said I was in trouble with my wife?
Speaker A
I just thought you might be since we were together and you went home so late with my lipstick on your shirt.
Speaker A
Listen, I love my wife. There's nothing going on between us. Nothing ever will. So, get that idea out of your head.
Speaker A
Alex, I like guys like you. And I'm used to getting what I like and [snorts] what I want.
Speaker A
I'll do anything you want. everything. She won't take advantage of it. Get out of my office, please.
Speaker A
This is Alex. Yes sir. I'll be there in 5 minutes. If you want to keep your job working for my father, you'd better do as I say and keep me pleased or I'll tell him what you did to me. But I haven't done
Speaker A
anything to you yet. And daddy doesn't know that. Who do you think he'll believe? You or his baby girl?
Speaker A
We're going to go out again tonight, so call me. Bye, baby. I just don't think that you're going to resolve anything by blaming yourself.
Speaker A
It's better to pray for Alan. I just thought I found a guy that would make me happy.
Speaker A
You will find that special someone who will make you happy. Someone who will love you and value you.
Speaker A
Hey, Gabby. Hey, Matt. How are you? Everything's good. Thank God. Good. I didn't see you in church on Sunday.
Speaker A
No, I couldn't go. I just had way too much studying to do. And but um let me introduce you to my friend Jenny.
Speaker A
Nice to meet you, Jenny. Are you a medical student also? No. Matt's one of my classmates and he also goes to the church that I'm visiting right now.
Speaker A
Nice. Yeah. Well, um I'm finished with my classes for the day and I was thinking about going to get some lunch. Do you two ladies want to join me?
Speaker A
Yeah, that'd be great. Jenny, you want to come? Sure, whatever you want. Okay, great. Let's go in my car. I can bring you two back.
Speaker A
Good. Cool. Gabriella, why don't you just go? I'll stay. Jenny, come with us. No, you go. I don't want to go.
Speaker A
Matt, um, I'm sorry. Maybe another time. Wow, she's beautiful. I just can't believe it. I thought Alex was different than your father.
Speaker A
Guess all men are alike. You know, he denies it. Of course, he said nothing happened.
Speaker A
Do you have all the facts, Kathy? I mean, maybe he's telling the truth. Mom, are you taking his side?
Speaker A
You don't believe me? I believe you. Can the kids and I stay with you just for a few days?
Speaker A
Of course, Kathy. But are you sure that's what you want to do? I mean, think about Betty.
Speaker A
Mom, I know what I'm doing. It's just for a few days and I'll ask him to leave the house. I just I don't want to see him right now. You can stay as long as you need.
Speaker A
Don't worry. I knew you were here. What? Who are you? I was sent to take care of you.
Speaker A
Take care of me? What are you talking about? Oh, yeah. I'm sure I know you sent you. Agato, right? Well, I haven't said anything. I haven't mentioned his name at all in any of this. Okay.
Speaker A
No, it was not El Goth who sent me. To his demise, he will continue on the same path he took.
Speaker A
Someone wants to kill him. I can imagine he's got a lot of enemies. There are paths that seem right, wide, and easy. Nevertheless, they will end in destruction. That is where he will end up.
Speaker A
I don't understand. You will understand soon. I am just doing my job. What are you reading Kevin?
Speaker A
How do you know my name? Like I told you, I was sent to take care of you. You can trust me. No worries.
Speaker A
What's your name? Meet Cal L, but you can call me Michael. Oh, it's a gift.
Speaker A
It's a Bible. H my favorite. Have you read it? Let's just say I know the stories. Well, stories.
Speaker A
Yes. In one way or another, you can identify with each of them. Why are you here?
Speaker A
I'm being accused of murders I didn't commit and some other charges. I warned you, Kevin.
Speaker A
I tried warning you the day I saw you in the street. Kevin, I remember you.
Speaker A
I had such a strange feeling inside me that day. Wait, who are you? And I was sent to protect you.
Speaker A
The day your friend was killed, you also was supposed to be killed, but God had mercy on you.
Speaker A
So, I'm going to ask you again, and I want you to tell me the truth about trying to hide what's in your heart.
Speaker A
Why are you here? Because I've made bad choices. Because I wanted an easy life.
Speaker A
Hello Katy Barry. Hello. Got Come on. Come on. Hello, Kathy. What do you want, Alex?
Speaker A
Where are you? I'm at my mom's house. What do you want? I want to see you. I want to see the kids. Honey, please come home.
Speaker A
Hello. Hello. How do you know he cheated, Martha? It's been going on for months.
Speaker A
She called him on his cell phone and when I answered, she hung up. She called while I was in the hospital.
Speaker A
He's been getting home late. But you knew that when they offered the promotion for this job, he'd be getting home later. Martha, he came home drunk, smelling like a women's perfume with lipstick on his collar. And I know that
Speaker A
it was Jackie, that senator's daughter. How much more proof do I need? And after all that, he still denies it.
Speaker A
Kathy, it's hard for me to believe something like that about a man who's always demonstrated how much he loves you and his kids. With all I went through with James, I'm the first one not to trust a man.
Speaker A
I have my doubts that Alex is cheating. Talk to him. Sometimes there are things that men don't tell you about because they don't want you to worry.
Speaker A
Angelica, I would like to talk to Kathy. Kathy doesn't want to talk to you right now.
Speaker A
Angelica, I didn't do anything. I swear [sighs] I love Kathy. It's not what she thinks.
Speaker A
Angelica, please believe me. Please. Alex, please. Alex. Kathy. Kathy, I know you can hear me. Don't do this to me. Please keep it down. The children are trying to sleep.
Speaker A
Kathy. Alex, there is nothing you and I need to talk about. Leave me alone.
Speaker A
Kathy, please. Kathy, please leave. Alex, please give her time. If what you're saying is true, it is true. I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker A
It's the truth. If what you say is true, she'll find out eventually. Now go home and get some rest. Give her some time.
Speaker A
Let her talk when she's ready to talk. I don't believe that man was unfaithful.
Speaker A
Something else has to be going on. Good morning. Good morning, sir. You're here kind of early. I thought you had court.
Speaker A
It was cancelled. I'm sorry. This is our new employee. That was rude. Really? Well, I don't care. And why do you live with Martinez?
Speaker A
Alex, it's me, Kathy. How are you? How are the kids? We're fine. I only called you because I want you to pack your things and leave. coming back to the house in a few days.
Speaker A
I don't want to see you there. Mommy, why are we staying in Grandma's house? Where's daddy? I want to see him.
Speaker A
Sweetheart, finish your breakfast. We're going to be late for school. Hi, Alan Russell. I'm so sorry you pass.
Speaker A
Thank you. When I look at all that I've [singing and music] left behind, there's a taste of [singing] sorrow and pain.
Speaker A
[music] And [singing] no matter how hard I try to find, [music] all my answers [singing] are drifting away.
Speaker A
Suddenly I hear your [singing] voice reminding my heart you are near. And looking [singing] up to you, I realize [singing] I need to come home.
Speaker A
I need to come home to you. I [music] need to come home, Lord. I need to [music] come home to you.
Speaker A
Thank you. Hello Angelica. Jenny. Oh, sweetheart. Oh, it is so good to see you.
Speaker A
You know, I didn't think you were arriving till tomorrow. Well, I wanted to surprise you, Mom.
Speaker A
How was your trip? Fine. I'm just really tired. Did you eat? Uh, no. I'm starving, actually. Let me get my purse and we will go get something to eat. Okay.
Speaker A
Absolutely crazy. [laughter] Good morning, sir. Have to get back to work. Thanks for the papers.
Speaker A
Sure. Hi. How are you? I'm good, thank you. Do you have everything ready for tomorrow?
Speaker A
Yes. I booked you on the 700 a.m. flight to Orlando airport as you requested.
Speaker A
Thank you. Hey, I need you to call William and set up a meeting for me.
Speaker A
Okay. Hey, I want to see you tonight. Oh, James, remember I told you my brother's coming into town?
Speaker A
William is on the phone for you. He wants to talk to you. Line one.
Speaker A
William, how are you? I'm fine, James. When are you coming back to town? I'll be there tomorrow morning.
Speaker A
Good to know. I need to talk to you about your son's case. So, Mom, how's Kevin? I can't wait to see him.
Speaker A
He's going to see you. We visit him every weekend. You can come with us this Saturday.
Speaker A
Us? I go with his girlfriend, Cynthia. Really? Mhm. I can't wait to meet her. How does he feel about this whole thing?
Speaker A
He's fine. And he wants to get married as soon as he gets out. Kevin's more at peace now. Says he's found God.
Speaker A
Really? [sighs and gasps] One day I brought him a Bible that Martha gave me for him and ever since then he hasn't put it down.
Speaker A
He's really changed. Wow. Well, I'm happy for him. How's Kathy in that whole situation?
Speaker A
She asked Alex to leave the house. I'm praying for them. You're praying? Since when do you pray?
Speaker A
Martha has always encouraged me to pray. Ignored her for years. Now when I get overwhelmed, I say [music] a prayer and I really feel at peace.
Speaker A
It makes [music] me feel like everything isn't hopeless. Wow. Well, it looks like Kevin isn't the only one that's changed. [music] You have changed, too. Jeez. I leave for 6 months and I come back. Everybody's different.
Speaker A
You know, certain situations force us to change. But no matter what the situation, God gives us hope.
Speaker A
Maybe if I had trusted God sooner, things would have turned out completely different. Oh well, never too late.
Speaker A
Um, I want to talk to you about something important later. Did something happen? No, it can wait. We'll talk about it at home.
Speaker A
Right now, I just want to see Kathy and the kids. Of course, sweetheart. Whatever you want to do.
Speaker A
Hello. Hey. How are you, son? I'm fine. Where are you right now? I'm in Miami, but I'm catching a flight to Orlando first thing tomorrow morning. Hey, I spoke to William and he discussed a few things with me.
Speaker A
Dad, I know you have good news. When we trust in God, good news always comes.
Speaker A
Never heard you talk like that before, son. I'm not the same, Dad. It's been a long day. Oh yeah, David's so cute. And Betty got so big.
Speaker A
It's crazy how fast she grew. They are beautiful. So said you wanted to talk.
Speaker A
Jenny, what do you want to talk to me about? Um, the past few months have been kind of crazy for me.
Speaker A
I've done some things that I'm kind of ashamed of. What happened? I met this guy and uh we were dating for a while and at first it was great.
Speaker A
Um, then he got what he wanted and then it wasn't so great. I got pregnant.
Speaker A
Jenny. Mom, I had an abortion. What? Have to get some water. I don't feel very well.
Speaker A
Mom. Mom, mom. Mom. Martha. Angelica. Angelica. Angel. Jenny. Hand me the phone. What? Um, can you hear me?
Speaker A
Yes. We have an emergency. It's not my fault. If mom dies, it's my fault.
Speaker A
Jenny, what happened? [snorts] You know, you can talk to me, sweetie. What happened last night?
Speaker A
I couldn't [laughter] I couldn't get here any earlier. I had to find someone to watch the kids. And how is she? Did they say anything? They haven't said anything yet, but I know soon they'll let us know.
Speaker A
What happened? Did something happen to Kevin? Kevin, are you Angelica Thomas family? Yes, she's our mother. How is she?
Speaker A
She suffered a mild stroke. She is asleep now and everything is under control. Apparently, she has been under a great deal of stress or had a traumatic experience. Extreme stress can cause a stroke. We want to run some more
Speaker A
tests and keep her under observation for a few days. Now, she's going to be fine, but she has to try to avoid stress.
Speaker A
We'll keep you informed. Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor. It's my fault. What do you mean it's your fault?
Speaker A
Jenny, tell us what happened. Well, I guess it started with Alan. Alan? What? I've been calling my parents and they haven't answered any of my calls.
Speaker A
Don't you worry. Everything will be fine. How do you know everything's going to be fine Kevin?
Speaker A
I've been praying a lot. I don't think that just praying is going to do anything. I mean, I do pray about you and the baby, but God is going to do something good.
Speaker A
Things are going to change. You'll see. Thumbs up. Let's go. Dad's going to my house. I couldn't tell him what happened over the phone.
Speaker A
He asked about you. I want to stay here with mom. Jenny, go and rest for a while. I'll stay and then later tonight you can come back and stay with her.
Speaker A
Sometimes we don't understand why certain things happen. Some things are unjustified and others are consequences of decisions we've made.
Speaker A
God allows troubles to come into our lives to get us off the wrong path and get us focused on him.
Speaker A
You are excellent. Honey, where am I? [laughter] What happened? You're in the hospital. You suffered a mild stroke.
Speaker A
Everything's fine now. I think God gave me another chance. Yes. So why you know this peace that I'm feeling so strange.
Speaker A
I've never felt peace like this before. When you look up to him, things begin to change in your life and you feel peace because of your faith. God is going to bless you with good news.
Speaker A
Really? Yes, Kevin. Your prayers and her prayers have been heard. Hey, you have a visitor.
Speaker A
Continue to grow in faith. Know that God's plans for your life are far greater than your own.
Speaker A
Cynthia, what are you doing here? Something happened, [music] Kevin. What? What happened? My parents called me yesterday.
Speaker A
Kevin, I I prayed [music] and God answered me. Jenny, I can feed myself. I just wanted to help.
Speaker A
I don't want anything bad to happen to you Mom. Please don't be ashamed. Oh, Jenny, sweetheart, I'm not ashamed of you.
Speaker A
It wasn't your fault. I'm fine. Just remember, I love you. I will always love you.
Speaker A
Hello, Angie. How are you? Hey baby. Daddy Peter. Oh, my little princess. How are you, beautiful?
Speaker A
I'm fine, but I miss you so much. I want you and mommy to talk so you can come back home to us.
Speaker A
I miss you too, princess. Hi. How are you? I'm doing good. You look beautiful.
Speaker A
Thank you. Here's everything you'll need for David. How's your mom? She's doing really good. She's already back to work. Listen, uh, I need to take Jenny to the airport this afternoon. Can you bring the kids by later?
Speaker A
Yes. I would love to have them stay a little bit longer. Kathy, I want us to talk.
Speaker A
Alex, please. We'll talk later. Now is not the time. I'll go get David. Bye, sweetie. I love you. Have fun of your dad's. Okay.
Speaker A
Okay. Betty, you ready to go? Yes. I have a surprise for you. What is it?
Speaker A
Ah, you're going to see. Jenny, sweetheart, promise you'll take good care of yourself. I promise.
Speaker A
But you have to promise me that you're going to take good care of yourself, too. [snorts] I promise.
Speaker A
I love you, Mom. I love you more. Come on, Jenny. Don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on her.
Speaker A
[music] God, I know you exist. Gave me a second chance on life to show me you're real.
Speaker A
Please help my kids. They're in trouble. I will give you my life and serve you with what's left of it. Please, please help me.
Speaker A
Help my kids. [laughter and gasps] I just want my family. I want to get to know you.
Speaker A
Thank you for your love. [laughter] [snorts] What am I going to do now? I don't know.
Speaker A
James, honey, I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. I I was so stupid.
Speaker A
I knew it. You're both fired. You can't do that. I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
Speaker A
Really? Well, it won't hold up. Everyone in here knows we were involved. Everyone. Why would you do this to me?
Speaker A
Because I don't love you. [snorts] I mean, did you really think at my age I want some old guy like you?
Speaker A
You're just a means to an end. I don't want you. I want him. He's younger.
Speaker A
He's enough. Enough. You're nothing but a money grubbing [ __ ] Now get out. You've got one week to get out of my apartment. One week.
Speaker A
That is my apartment. I pay the rent. I pay the rent. You get out. I never want to see you again.
Speaker A
[snorts] Look for Luke chapter 2. It is about the birth of Jesus. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Speaker A
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Speaker A
[music] Oh, [music] heat, heat. [music] [music] [music] [music] Wow. I can't imagine such [music] a celebration.
Speaker A
I'm sure it was amazing. Amazing. You will have that feeling soon. I know. I can't wait to see my baby.
Speaker A
I want to hold my baby in my arms and have a family. Kevin, you are free.
Speaker A
I'm going to get out of jail. How do you know? There's a freedom that you have experienced that is far greater than leaving this place.
Speaker A
A true freedom that only he who sent me can give you. Good news is coming, Kevin.
Speaker A
Just wait. You're a car, Grandma. Betty. Oh, I missed you. How are you feeling?
Speaker A
You know, I missed you, too. But I'm feeling much better now that you're here. Hey, sweetheart. You didn't tell me you were coming.
Speaker A
I need someone to talk to. Where's the baby? He's at daycare today. Is everything okay?
Speaker A
Yes. No. Betty, sweetheart, will you go play in the living room for a minute? Thank you.
Speaker A
[sighs] Alex keeps calling me every day asking to talk. What do you want to do?
Speaker A
I don't know. Kathy, don't you think this has been going on for too long?
Speaker A
Give him a chance to talk. Mom, what would you do if dad asked you back tomorrow? No, Kathy, that that's not going to happen.
Speaker A
Are you sure about that? God can restore anything if you [music] let him. Right Kathy?
Speaker A
You're a witness of what God has been doing in your mother's life. But it's not just [music] for her.
Speaker A
It's for you, too. Talk to your husband. Give him a chance. I'll see you guys. Catch up with you guys.
Speaker A
Hey. Hey. It's good to see you ladies again. So, where you headed? I'm going to class and I'm going to the library.
Speaker A
Well, I got to go. So, I'll talk to you later. Okay. Bye. Did you like her?
Speaker A
head over heels. Gabby, I really like her, but um I don't know. It's something about her.
Speaker A
I'm praying about it though. Come in, sir. Mr. Johnson, he's on line one. Thank you, Maggie.
Speaker A
This is James. James, we really need to talk about the situation between you and your secretary. Come over to my office right away.
Speaker A
Okay. I'm exhausted. Me, too. I think we've studied enough. What? You know, my friend Matt is head over heels for you, girl.
Speaker A
Gabriella, I really think I should stay away from guys for a while. Well, I think you've punished yourself enough.
Speaker A
You can't keep closing yourself off. Besides, I know him. He loves God and he's a good man.
Speaker A
Well, they all are until they get what they want. Jenny, I know. But listen, you know what he told me?
Speaker A
He told me that he prays for you. Matt is the kind of guy that would understand about your past and be more interested in who you are now and your future.
Speaker A
Just get to know him. You here? I thought you'd never come. Well, I said I'd be here and I'm here.
Speaker A
May I get you guys something to drink? Uh, yes. Um, may I? I know your favorite.
Speaker A
Two glasses of Pon Noa. Excellent. Be right up. Kathy, I'm just going to get straight to the point.
Speaker A
You know I love you. Nothing ever happened between me and Jackie. Then how do you explain the perfume, the phone calls, the lipstick?
Speaker A
Jackie is a spoiled brat who's used to getting whatever she wants. She was trying to seduce me. She wanted to tear us apart. It was part of her plan.
Speaker A
Before all this happened, you and I were happy. Maybe maybe I got too comfortable.
Speaker A
Maybe I started taking it all for granted. I don't know. But but I do know that I would never let anything, not a job, not a woman, nor everything else ever come between us.
Speaker A
I quit my job, Kathy. Alex, one way or another, I needed to show you that I love you. That you and the kids are the most important thing in my life.
Speaker A
I can get another job. I can't replace my family. If we're going to do this, we need to make God the center of our lives.
Speaker A
Okay. [laughter] Kevin, the warden wants [music] to see you. What's going on? I am just following my last orders.
Speaker A
Last orders? You're leaving, right? Do not worry. I will always be around. The important thing is he is with you and always will be.
Speaker A
From the moment you found him, you were free. [snorts] Hello, Angelica James. How are you?
Speaker A
Fine. And you? Very good, thanks. Is Kevin okay? I just spoke to William earlier and I've got some great news about Kevin.
Speaker A
What? Good morning. Hi, Kevin. Mr. Smith, what are you doing here? What's going on?
Speaker A
Sit down, young man. We need to talk. Kevin, as you know, the police found the gun that killed your friend.
Speaker A
It took him a while, but it led them to Rojas, who is now in custody. He was the one that gave the orders to have you and Luke killed on the night in question.
Speaker A
Truck never had a chance to kill you that night, so guy had him taken out instead. He's been trying to find you ever since without any success. Even though it's been all over the news that you were arrested and in jail.
Speaker A
It looks like God was hiding you in jail to keep you safe. Listen, Kevin, we need to finish up some paperwork here, but in the meantime, just go back to your [music] cell with the guard and gather up your belongings.
Speaker A
Hi Jenny. Hey, Matt. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good, thanks. How are you? I'm okay.
Speaker A
I was just going to class. So, why are you always trying to avoid me?
Speaker A
I'm not always trying to avoid you. It's just what? I don't know. I have to go. You know, I liked you from the first moment I saw you.
Speaker A
How can you like me when you don't even know what I've done? Look, Jenny, I don't care what happened.
Speaker A
That can be changed. Look, I'm not interested in your past. I'm interested in you. I want to be a part of your present. And if you'll let me, part of your future, too.
Speaker A
Look, just just give me a chance to get to know you. Let me get to know what's inside [music] your heart. And I'll let you get to know what's inside mine.
Speaker A
[music] Kevin. Hey. How are you? I'm good. Good. Oh my baby. Oh my god.
Speaker A
Look at you. Hi girly. [music] Nothing will separate us again. I promise. It's a new life, Kevin. A new beginning.
Speaker A
Now we have someone else we need to fight for. Mom, I don't deserve this.
Speaker A
Even though I'm not guilty, I've done a lot of bad things, God's been so [music] good to me.
Speaker A
Yeah, he has. He's given me a second chance and now I'm a father. so blessed.
Speaker A
Thank you so much. My pleasure. Take care and God bless. All right, everybody. We've got some celebrating to do. Let's all go inside.
Speaker A
Come on. [music] Oh man. Okay. Hello Martha. Oh, thank you. Happy New Year [music] to you too.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. I'll tell everyone you said hi. Of course. Well, I'll see you next weekend.
Speaker A
And Martha, thank you for [music] being such a wonderful friend. Yes, I know things will be different.
Speaker A
Okay, I'll talk to you later. Hello. Hey. [laughter] I'm so sorry we're late, Mom.
Speaker A
Yeah, my parents didn't want us to leave. Oh, don't worry. You're here now. Oh, baby. Come on.
Speaker A
You should bring him by the house. really good. I will eventually. You know, Jenny, I'm really glad you're happy now.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'm glad you Hi. Hi. Who's the cutest little Look who I am.
Speaker A
Oh my god, look at her. She's getting so big. How you doing, buddy? That's sweet.
Speaker A
[laughter] Glad you guys made it. Wow. [laughter] Good to see you guys. Are you happy?
Speaker A
Yes, [laughter] I am. You know, just looking back, I can't believe how everything worked out [music] so perfectly.
Speaker A
God's been good to us ever since we let him into our lives. Yeah, of course. I miss you, too.
Speaker A
I told you we can talk tomorrow. I love you, too. Happy New Year. [laughter] No, I'm sorry. That was really cute. Oh, come on.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. Oh, Jenny's got a boyfriend. [laughter] I can't wait to meet him.
Speaker A
I'm kidding. The eggs. Perfect. Looks good. Mom. I'd like to have the honor of praying tonight. I've learned a lot over this past year.
Speaker A
I can't stop thanking God. With all the bad choices I've made and the dark paths I've chosen to follow, he's been right there with me every step of the way.
Speaker A
But not just me, [music] though. I think he's given us all a second chance.
Speaker A
But we also need to pray [music] for dad. He needs our prayers now. I am so very blessed.
Speaker A
I know things are going to be different from now on. Let's pray. Lord, I know that [music] you listen to our prayers.
Speaker A
You've poured your mercy upon us and your love has been greater than we've ever expected.
Speaker A
We appreciate that you brought us all together on this [music] very blessed evening. I just wanted to say thank you for everything and ask that you stay with us [music] for the rest of our lives. Spending a half a lifetime is
Speaker A
well worth the wait than an entire lifetime spent [music] not knowing you. I know that you're full of surprises, Lord, and pray that in this new year, you'll surprise us again.
Speaker A
We all love you. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's almost time. [laughter] 10 9 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Happy New Year.
Speaker A
Grandpa, sweetheart. I've been without my family for so many years. And I know that I've made a lot of mistakes, but I'm just asking all of you to please just give me the opportunity to be close to you.
Speaker A
I want to start over. You have been [music] here. In my decision time, you were there and you found me looking.
Speaker A
