My Brother's Keeper (2020)

[bunniefuu]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHIRRING]

You know, staring at him
don't make it no easier, bro.

Not gonna make it any worse either.

[CHUCKLES]

[g*nf*re]

We haven't been outside the wire
in what, three weeks?

- Not a peep.
- [g*nf*re CONTINUES]

It sounds like the devil's
wedding reception out there tonight.

You all right, bro?

'Cause I can talk to Ranger 6
and take your platoon out.

No. I got this.

You know, T.J. turns ten next month.

We're gonna get him baptized.

That's cool, man.

Tell him Uncle Travis says hello
when you call him, all right?

Remember when
this whole thing got started, man?

Just two young,
hard charging infantrymen

ready to take on the world.

Look at us now.

Fifteen years later
and we're still fighting this w*r.

Don't know what you want me
to say about that, brother.

Wanna drink this?

Nothing you can say. It is what it is.

But I appreciate it
that you pray with me tonight

before I go outside the wire.

No, no. We've been down this rabbit hole
tons of time, Preach, all right?

You know I don't subscribe to
the lies in that book, all right?

Plus if God did exist,
He don't give a crap about me.

This is what, your eighth tour
in the last ten years?

You received three Purple Hearts,
survived two IED att*cks

and you still don't believe
that not only does God exist

but He's got something bigger
in store for your life.

w*r is my life, brother.

That's what I do.

That's all I know.

I'll really appreciate
the extra coverage tonight.

Ain't gonna happen, Preach.

You know, this Bible
belonged to my grandfather.

He gave it to my father
and my father gave it to me

when I was about T.J.'s age.

Let's just stop right there.

If I was you, I'd make sure
the lies in that book

don't get spread
throughout my family no more.

You've lost your way, Travis.

And the worst part about that
is that you've lost your faith in God.

Yeah, well...

You ever think that maybe your God
lost his faith in me?

No! I don't.

Because He hasn't and He never will.

Preach, look, man.

My parents' spent their whole lives
chasing after the lies in that book,

man, and look where it got them?

You need to go home, brother.

You need to look
into your parents' accident.

I know it's not gonna be easy,
but you need to move on.

So what, Preach, is that what
your God telling me I should do?

Your soul is lost, brother. You're lost.

But it's never too late
to find your way back to God.

The question is,
do you wanna find your way back?

Man.

Don't lose your life
without having your soul ready.

Whatever, man.

Travis.

Am I my brother's keeper?

Stay alert, Preach!

Stay alive, brother.

Stay alive.

Sarge! Sarge! Get up!
It's second platoon! They just got hit!

- What?
- The second platoon. They just got hit.

How bad it is? How many people got hurt?

They're dead. All of them, Sarge!

- Make a hole! Make a hole!
- [SIREN WAILING]

Make a hole!

Bring him in! Right here! Right here!
Right here! Let's go!

I need another hand, let's go!

No! No, no! No!

[GROANS] Oh!

No, no, no!

No! No! No! No! sh*t!

[SOBBING]

Preach, man.

PASTOR HOOD:
It's good to see you. Hello, Judy.

- How's that grandbaby?
- Wonderful.

- Deacon Tiffany.
- Good morning, Pastor.

- Good to see you.
- You too.

Hey. How are those
counseling sessions going?

[SIGHS] They are going so well,
but you know that we have got to...

I know what you're going to say.

I promise,
as soon as the church can afford it,

we're gonna take care of those repairs.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay. I'll see you later.

- Yes.
- Hello there, Julie.

Good morning.

Why do we act surprised
when we're faced with trials?

Hmm?

Why do we think our trials
and our problems

are too big for us to handle
when we have God?

Did He not say to us,

"Behold, I am the Lord,
the God of all flesh.

"Is anything too difficult for Me?"

CONGREGATION: No!

In Isaiah 41:10,
God tells us to not fear,

for He is with us.

In Psalms 55:22,

He tells us
to cast our burdens upon Him,

and He will sustain us.

Just because we think our trials
and our problems are too big for us,

that does not make them
too big for our God!

[APPLAUSE]

Amen.

Even with everything that's happening
in our world today,

all the craziness that's going on,

I want you to know that God will build
a mighty, mighty shield around you

if you trust and believe in Him.

He will deliver you
because He is faithful.

And He is righteous!

He is our El Shaddai,
our Lord God Almighty!

He is Yahweh.

He is El 'Olam, our most high God!

He is Jehovah-Jireh,
the Lord that provides.

He is Jehovah-Rapha,
the Lord that heals.

And I say that if you don't know Him
by any other name,

you can take comfort in knowing
that He is and shall always be

Elohim.

He is God!

- Amen! Amen!
- That's right.

Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!

BIG D:
That looked like your boy right there.

BIG SIX: Yeah, look at this clown.

BIG D:
I guarantee you he don't have the money.

I bet he's short.

BIG SIX: You think so?

BIG D: I already know so.

That's all we can afford.

It feels light.

You're gonna short me again
this month too, huh?

Feel that, Big D.
That feel light to you?

And you got two weeks,
Sweat Suit Donnie.

We can't pay that kind of money
and keep the shop open!

Nah. That's where you're wrong.

Everybody pays.

One way or the other, everybody pays.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

I want my money, Donnie.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING]

Water poured through the roof
like a screen door on a submarine.

And that ain't the worst of it, Pastor.

PASTOR HOOD: Oh, boy.

Yo, yo, hold up, hold up!

Hold up, hold up!

There you go.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I'll be...

What's up, Pop?

[BOTH LAUGH]

When did you get home, son?

I just got back yesterday.

I was wondering when
you were gonna make it back this way,

check on your parents' house.

Oh, you know... Hell, I was coming.

I just needed a little time, you know,
with the accident and everything.

Just get my head together.

Well, we all miss your mom and dad.

Yeah. Well, I appreciate you taking care
of the place for me while I was gone.

I just wish that was the only reason
I was coming back.

Yeah.

Good friend of mine got k*lled last week
during a mission.

His body is due back stateside
in a couple of weeks, so...

Hmm. Escort duty.

Yeah. This w*r has taken too many
of our good men and women.

Pops, you know, to be honest,
I don't even know if I can do it.

I don't know if I can face his family,
his son.

Oh, just lean on the Lord, son.

He'll give you and his family
the strength to get through this.

Yes, He will.

Pops, how's business? Where's Donnie?

Where's Donnie?

He's late. He's always late.

I'm telling you,
one day that boy is going to be late

for something either very important
or very bad.

I don't know which,

but I do know for certain
he will be late.

- Same old Donnie, man.
- Same old.

Same old Donnie.

And as for business, well,

the neighborhood's changed
since you were last here.

How so?

Well, these kids,

they're gonna be coming around
with pants hanging down to their ankles

cursing and loud music,
run all the customers off.

- Who run off the customers?
- He expects me to...

Pop, hold up. If you got a problem
with somebody, you know you can tell me.

I'm here now. I'll take care of it.

No, no, no.
I can handle these new-age gangsters.

Plus, the Lord got a hedge
of protection around me 24/7.

Yes, sir.

[CHUCKLES]

Same old Pops.

Hey, listen.

When you take care of my parents' house,
did you ever notice this whole...

[CUTLERY CRASHING]

And it's also harder
to get good help these days.

I understand.
You need to take care of that.

- Yeah. Let me go take control of that.
- All right.

Listen.
It's good to have you home, son.

It's good to be back.

- It's good to be back.
- Just let me know if you need anything.

- Absolutely.
- All right.

Pops, Pops, Pops.
Rangers lead the way, Pops.

[EXCLAIMS]
Rangers lead the way! Yes, sir!

[TRAVIS CHUCKLES]

w*r hero!

Oh, man. Sweat Suit Donnie, what's up?

- What?
- How is it going, brother?

- I'm good.
- When did you get back?

- I just got back yesterday, man.
- Yeah. How long are you in town for?

Two, maybe three weeks.

All right, listen, listen. I'm late,
but you already know that, right?

But I'm gonna pick you up later and
we're gonna go sh**t some pool together.

Man, I can't do it tonight, man.

I'm still tired from the trip, man.

- I've been in plane all day.
- Yeah, all right. Sure.

Listen, why don't you just come back
inside for a coffee,

- we can have donut...
- Maybe tomorrow, man.

I gotta something to look into, so...

You need some help?
I can tell Pops to...

Bro! I promise you,
I'll catch up with you, all right?

You're late, you need to get in there,

I got something I got to do,
but we'll hang, man, for sure.

All right.

The possum's on the stump
with this 'un, Pastor.

Can it even be repaired?

It can,
but not by the boys in this house.

They 'bout as useful
as a steering wheel on a mule.

All right, Pedie.

Just do what you can to keep it running

until I get something figured out,
all right?

I'll do my best, Pastor.
I'll do my best.

I know you will.

Travis.

Hey, Dr. Cunningham.

- Welcome home.
- Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to see me.

What can I do for you?

Look, I want to talk to you
about my parents' accident.

Yes. That was very unfortunate.

I was going through their belongings
and I couldn't find

this necklace that I made for my mother.

Are you sure she was wearing it
the night of the accident?

Yeah, absolutely. This is it right here.

I'm just hoping maybe
somebody saw something.

I'm sorry.

But I would have definitely
remembered that necklace.

Are you sure?

Maybe somebody from the staff,
maybe they missed it or...

Travis, all of the belongings
that were on your parents

when the paramedics brought them in

were carefully collected and cataloged
and turned over to the detectives.

I'm sorry,
but that necklace was not one of them.

WOMAN: [OVER PA]
Dr. Cunningham to pharmacy.

Dr. Cunningham to pharmacy.

I've got to run. It was good to see you.

You too. Thanks again.

[MACHINERY WHIRRING, RATTLING]

- [g*n f*ring]
- Pull the g*n!

I'm gonna get my team,
we're gonna come around west, all right?

[CARS HONKING]

[b*ll*ts f*ring]

[EXCLAIMS]

Coming down the road, two sn*per fire.

[CRIES OUT]

[SCREAMING]

[SOBBING]

[MAN AND WOMAN SPEAK INDISTINCTLY]

Who's there?

Good evening, Pops.

What do you want?

It's a nice night.

Who sent you?

That's a real nice dress, Mrs. Wanda.

Go inside and lock the door.

I will call the police.

I don't know what you want, young man,
but you...

You're making a big mistake.

Have a nice night, Pops.

LUCY:
It was good to get that off my chest.

It felt strong.

Strong?

You Air Force types
don't know anything about strong.

This is Army strong right here.

ROBERT: You call that a g*n?

This is the real g*n,
courtesy of United States Marine Corps.

You're all welcome.

Here we go!

We gotta listen to this Marine Corps
garbage again.

Okay, on that note,

I think that that is all for now.

You all have a wonderful evening.
Good night.

ALL: Good night!

[SIGHS]

Did Pastor Hood stop by?

He sure did. Roof's still leaking.

Temperature's still rising.
AC is still broke.

[EXHALES]

I will talk to him again.

You do that, Ms. Tiffany,

because if we don't
get somebody out here

that can fix all these repairs,
especially that AC soon,

it's going to get hotter than
two hamsters fighting in a wool sack.

Good night, Doc.

Preach, I'm taking the platoon now.

I'm taking the platoon now.

sn*per!

Preach, no!

No!

He sent that man to our house.

Your poor mother is scared to death.

I'll talk to him.

You need to do more than just talk!

Listen, you got to fix this
even if it means telling him everything.

[SAW WHIRRING]

Don't even act like you don't know
what time it is!

- [LAUGHS]
- Look at you, man, come on.

My brother, man.

Oh, man.

Remember when we were little,

we always made my parents stop
every time we saw a donut shop?

I remember you used to make them stop,
I ain't used to make them stop.

I don't see you complaining.

No, you don't.

I still see you trying to be of service
and act like you know how to fix stuff.

I could use some help.
You wanna pick up a tool?

Nope. No.

I'll leave the manual labor
to you and Dad.

All that "Rangers lead the way"
and "Hoo-ah" stuff!

I'm like,
"Rangers lead the way to where?

What's a 'Hoo-ah'?"

I'mma have to
school you about that, man.

Man, good old times, man.

Yes, sir.

I still remember your parents, man.

They didn't deserve
to go the way they did.

Don't be sorry about it, man.

Accidents happen to good people, too.

Speaking of good people,

Pops looked
a little rattled yesterday, man.

Everything all right in the shop?

Cool as can be.

Everything's cool, man. I promise.

All right.

I went to talk
to Dr. Cunningham yesterday.

And what's up?

Man, this is accident,
but none of them makes sense to me, man.

It never has.

What do you mean?

Donnie, my father would not have just
accelerated into a parked truck, man,

unless somebody or someone or something
made him do that, man,

caused him to react that way.

Look, man, it was an ugly night
that night, Travis. Okay?

There was a bad storm,
roads were wet, slick.

But you knew my old man.

I mean, that would have made him
more alert, man.

He would have been sharp.

I'm telling you, all these slick roads

and bad night and stuff
people keep saying,

I ain't buying it.

I think something else was the cause.

What do you think happened?

You know what? I don't know.

But I promise you, I'm gonna find out.

And when I do...

We've identified
three more homeless vets,

but we can't bring them into the center
until the repairs are done.

We only have half of what we need
for all the repairs,

and that's not even enough
to fix or replace the AC.

We have to do something.

I know.

- Hey.
- Hmm?

What if we are supposed to get
another soldier to help us?

I heard that Matthew Fox's son
is in town.

And if I remember correctly,
he could fix just about anything.

Well, do you think he will help us?

There's only one way to find out.

Let's go.

Okay.

- PASTOR HOOD: What did I tell you?
- [TIFFANY CHUCKLES]

Travis!

Hello!

- How are you doing, Pastor?
- Doing good.

It's good to see you here safe
and in good health.

To God be all the glory.

Let me tell you something. I really,
really miss your mom and dad.

They were fine, fine people.

Travis, this is Tiffany Robinson.

She heads up
our new Veteran's Center Ministry.

Hi.

What can I do for you, Pastor?

Well, it's
the veteran's center building.

It's in pretty bad shape.

It's in horrible shape. [CHUCKLES]

She's right.

Travis, we need someone with your skills

who can come in and help us
renovate this place

so that we can open our doors
for veterans like you

who need our help.

Do I look like I need your help?

I didn't quite mean it like that...

I can't do it, all right?

I got a lot of work to get done here.

Plus, there's something I need to
check into before I report back, so...

Look, I'm sorry, all right?

I'm sorry you had to come
all the way out here for nothing.

So that's it?

You're gonna turn your back on us
just like that?

Yeah.

Is it that easy for you
to turn your back on God?

Turn my back on God?

You cannot be serious right now,
because the way I see it,

God turned his back on me
along time ago!

That is not true, Travis. God loves you.

He loves me?

Just what exactly has God done for me?

More than any of us can even imagine.

Not the least of which
was dying for your sins

and answering your prayers.

My prayers.

You're always talking about prayers.

Do you know who else pray?

Enemy soldiers.

Enemy soldiers pray all the time,


But do you know what they do
when they finish praying?

Do you?

They strap on expl*sives
and they k*ll Americans!

My friends! And for what?

Some stupid religion?

But that's not... That's not God's work.

No?

If it ain't God's work,
then whose is it?

What, Satan's?

So what, God has taken
a coffee break now, all right?

He ain't calling the sh*ts?

Travis, regardless of the circumstances,
God still loves you.

- He loves me.
- He loves us all.

He loves us all?
He loves me. He loves us all!

What about Staff Sergeant Pearson, huh?

An IED ripped through his vehicle
and ripped him into pieces?

Or what about Corporal Wilson?

He must really love him.

A sn*per's b*llet
nearly took half his head off?

And I guess God really love Preach.

He got a funny way of
showing love to Preach

because He let a 500-pound roadside b*mb

tear him to pieces,
cut his whole platoon down.

Or what about my mom and my dad?

God can help you, Travis.

I don't need your help.
I don't need your help.

And I definitely don't need His.

What I need is for you and you
to get off my property, now.

Just go.

You're gonna find your way
back to God...

I said get off!

Pastor, it's time for us to go.
It's time to go.

Come on, Pastor.

[g*n f*ring]

What do we got?

Coming down the road, two sn*per fire,
and a guy down over there.

TRAVIS: All right, copy that, copy that.

I'll go grab my team.

We're gonna go around

- and come west, okay?
- Okay.

[g*nf*re CONTINUES]

[SCREAMS IN FRUSTRATION]

[CRIES OUT]

Well, I'd appreciate it
if you pray with me tonight, though,

before I go outside the wire.

I could really use
the extra coverage tonight.

It ain't gonna happen, Preach.

[PANTING]

PREACH: They're right, you know?

God don't love me, Preach.

Why are you doing this to yourself?

I could have done something.

I should have talked to Ranger 6

into letting my platoon out there
that night, man.

And you would be dead now instead of me.

I don't know what to do, Preach.

You can always go to God.

God can't save me, man.

God is our rescuer, Travis.

He's granted us eternal life.

But we can't allow our sins
to keep us from Him,

because if we do,
it causes Him to reject us

and not listen to our prayers.

But I shouldn't even be here, man.

I should be over there.

I should be helping our brothers.

In fact,
why am I still alive and you're not?

You're still alive
because God has a plan for you.

There's something important
that you still have to do.

Preach, what's that even mean, man?

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

Stay alert, Travis.

Stay alive. Stay alive.

Are you okay, sir?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

I just got a little winded, all right?

Sir, can we see some ID?

I was jogging, all right?
I ain't got no ID.

I ain't doing nothing, I'm just...

Sir, get your hands out of your pocket
and get on the ground.

I was just jogging.
Why are you all on me?

Sir, get your hands out of your pocket
and get on the ground, now!

- We don't need all of that, man.
- Get on the ground, now!

- I ain't getting on no ground!
- I told you to get on the ground, now!

- I ain't getting on no ground!
- Get on the ground!

- I ain't getting on no ground!
- Get on the ground!

Taser!

[DOOR BUZZES]

COP: Fox!

Let's go. You made bail.

Look, maybe you didn't hear me
the first time, all right?

I don't need your help.

Pastor Hood felt bad
about what happened yesterday.

He feels like
we may have blindsided you.

Whatever that means.

So when he found out you were arrested,

he took the money that the church
had raised to do the repairs...

Tell him I'll pay him back, all right?

But I'm not working on your center.

Do you Army boys drink coffee?

What?

Listen, this one cup of coffee
isn't going to ruin

this whole tough guy thing
you have going on, okay?

Here, you need it.

And plus,
there's something I wanna show you.

What's all these?

You see those men over there?

They were once just like you.

Dedicated, committed, tough as nails.

They served their country

and now they're homeless and troubled.

That's not
the m*llitary's fault, Tiffany.

And I never said that it was.

But it doesn't change the fact
that these men fought for their country,

and now look at them.

Sitting over there, hungry,

having no clue
where their next meal will come from.

So I help you and these men
get into your center?

Yes.

Thank you.

[EXHALES] So, this is where
we meet twice a week.

And as you could see,
it can use a couple of coats of paint.

It needs more then paint, Doc.

TIFFANY: [CHUCKLES] Pedie, this is...

How ya doing, Ranger?

How you doin'?

Okay, wait. Have you guys already met?

Nope. But I know a Ranger
when I see one.





You here to fix this place up?

- Hoo-ah.
- Hoo-ah.

- Hoo-ah.
- Hoo-ah.

- Hoo-ah.

Yo, yo, where you think you're going?

I need to talk to Big Six.

You don't run up in here
like you run this place.

Get out of here.

Let him in, D.

Sweat Suit.

Dude, you sent him to my parents' house!

You got to understand, Donnie, man,
in my line of work,

there are certain insurances
that need to be put into place.

Don't you ever send someone
to my parents' house ever again!

So now you're gonna
come up in my spot

and tell me what I can
and what I can't do, huh?

Listen, man, just...

Shut up! All right?

Now, listen to me, this is how
it's gonna go down, all right?

If you don't have my money,
I'm gonna k*ll you, man.

I'm gonna k*ll your pops,
I'm gonna k*ll your moms,

I'm gonna k*ll whoever.

They're gonna get touched!

Gone!

Just like that.

Or maybe I'll have Big Damon here
show up at your family reunion

and knock your whole family off.

You know I will do it.

So, Donnie, man, please,

next time I see you,
just have my money, man.

[RAP MUSIC CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, hey, how is it going?

Hey. It's good.

You know, I have never
seen Pedie so energized.

This last couple of days
have been amazing.

- It's cool.
- You...

We're about to start a meeting,
you're more than welcome to stay.

Nah. Nah, I got somewhere I got to be.

Okay. You're welcome anytime.

- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes, sir?

Do you know where I can find
a Detective Davies?

She's over there.

- Right here?
- Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Detective Davies, a moment of your time.

Mr. Fox, right?

Yeah. Yeah, listen.

The necklace in this photo,
my mother never take it off.

When her stuff came back
from the coroner's office,

it wasn't there.

Did you keep it for evidence?

I was responsible
for collecting all the evidence

from the crime scene
and from the coroner.

That necklace was never there.

Maybe you missed it?

Nope. Didn't miss it. It wasn't there.

Look, your report said
that there were no witnesses

at the time of the accident either,

but I was on that street,
the same time as the accident

and there were lights on
in some of those buildings.

There are some apartments
over some of the shops

but we talked to everybody
and no one saw anything.

What they heard was consistent
with the accident report.

My father would not have accelerated
into a parked city truck, Detective!

It was bad weather.

Perhaps, he swerved
to avoid hitting something,

most likely an animal.

He wouldn't have done that, Detective!

All right, he might have slammed
on the brakes, maybe, all right?

But he would not have accelerated!

You need to calm down, sir.

Look, we're all very sorry
about what happened to your parents,

but there are no conspiracies,
there are no cover ups.

It was just an unfortunate accident.

You're wrong, Detective.

It was unfortunate.

But it wasn't no accident.

Can I just talk to you
a little bit this morning?


tells us that we must be strong

in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Not be strong in His grace
in the worst of times.

If we claim to be strong in faith

and know that we are stronger
than others,

I ask you, what should we do?

Should we bear
with the failings of the weak?

Should we bear with those
who are troubled and alone?

Do you, who are strong
in your walk with God,

know that He wants us
to work endlessly, exhaustively,

to help those that are in need
of finding their way to Him?

Carry each other's burdens,

and in this way we will fulfill
the law of Christ.

The Bible says that one can come to me

unless the one who sent me
brings you and leads you.

He says,
"All that seeks Him will find Him!"

But we that seek Him
must seek Him for the right reasons.

Right?

We must not seek Him
just for forgiveness of our sins.

We must seek Him
by seeking His presence.

For whoever conceals his transgressions
will not prosper,

but he who walks away from them
will obtain His grace and mercy.

Amen.

Thank you, Jesus.

It is time for a break.

It's cool. Thank you.

You are very, very welcome.

I appreciate it.

So what's your story?

What do you mean?

You know, how does a doctor
go to selling insurance?

Um, I'm still a doctor and I do
a lot more than just sell insurance.

But that's another story
for another day.

How are the repairs coming?

It's good. It's good.

The parts for the AC came in.

- I'll put them on later and...
- Okay.

That's pretty much all I can do

until the church
can get the rest of the supplies.

Great. So I can tell Pastor Hood
that the three homeless vets

can move in at the end of the week?

- Yeah.
- Good.

What about the money
for the other repairs?

Oh. I'm working on a plan. [CHUCKLES]

You know, the guys are really gonna miss
having you around here.

They have you.

You know, I heard that army men
really like coffee.

Really?

That line again?

I mean, it worked the first time,
didn't it?

So, are you gonna join me
for a cup of coffee later?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

But this time I get to pick the place.

Done.

[TIFFANY LAUGHING]

POPS: Well, no one told me
the beautiful Dr. Tiffany was here.

Aw! Hey, Pops.

You've never told me you knew Pops.

Everybody knows Pops in this town.

Plus, he comes down to the center

and brings coffee and pastries
for the veterans every Wednesday.

Mmm. It's fine work you're doing
with those boys, Dr. Tiffany.

A godly work.

TIFFANY: Thank you.

I ran into Dr. Cunningham,
she said you paid her a visit.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

I was just checking on something
that belonged to my mother.

What's up man?

I've been looking all over for you.
You don't answer your phone.

- How's it going, Pops?
- Hey.

- Hey, Donnie.
- How are you, Tiff?

- Good.
- Uh-uh. No, you don't.

We have to get ready
to close up for the night.

Doctor, I'll see you Wednesday.
Travis, I'll see you when I see you.

Donnie, come on.

I wanna get home at a reasonable hour.

Later, Pops.

Hey, man. I wanna sh**t some pool.

You feel like losing some of that
piggy bank money of yours?

Oh, man. I'm tired, brother.

- I don't know about tonight, man.
- Come on, man.

You know that
little fun never crush you.

That's what
I've been trying to tell him.

DONNIE: Come on!

[TIFFANY CHUCKLES]

All right, brother.
I'll meet you there at 1900.

All right.
Okay, wait, 1900, that's 12:00...



- Hey, Donnie.
- Hey.

Did you ever help Pops take care
of my parents' place while I was gone?

Yeah. A few times. Why?

Did you ever see this necklace,

this burgundy surrounded
by white gold on all sides?

Nope. I've never seen any necklaces.

Sorry.

All right, man.

Why are you looking
for your mom's necklace?

I gave it to her
right before the accident.

She said she'll never take it off until

either the w*r was over
or I never had to go back

and fight no more.
But I can't find it anywhere.

TIFFANY: Uh-huh.

That's why you went
to the coroner's office?

And the police department,

the fire department,
the ambulance drivers,

both of them, I talked to them, nothing.

I go back to the street, the apartments,

the folks who live in them above,
like the shops over there, nothing.

Nobody knows anything about it.

Well, maybe she wasn't wearing it.

Then it would be at the house somewhere,
or in her room.

No, I'm pretty sure she was wearing it.

So, you gonna answer my question
or what?

Okay, okay.
So I got my PhD in Clinical Psychology

and I had my own practice
for three years,

then, you know, it just wasn't enough.

So, I moved in to financial planning
and I never looked back.

And what about the stuff you do
with the center and at the church?

Well, God has always been
a huge part of my life.

That's how I've made it this far,

through prayer and His mercy
and His grace, you know.

And the PhD allows me to do
what I love with the guys at the center,

so I have the best of both worlds.

Okay.

You know, this is my first date
since moving to town.

This was a date?

Okay.

Do you remember when I said

the guys at the center
are gonna miss you?

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna miss you, too.

So I have to go
grocery shopping tomorrow,

we need a few things for the center.
Do you wanna come with?

Why not?

That's another date, huh?

Yeah. [LAUGHS]

- See you tomorrow? Okay.
- Yup.

Boom.

If I didn't know any better,
I think you hustled me.

Hoo-ah.

Remember you asked for this, boy.

Listen, we'll rack them again, man.
I'm not gonna lose six in a row.

Well, you lost that one. You rack.

I gotta take a head call.

Lose, you rack, you lose, you rack.

This clown, man.

Right.

Get the money. Let me go check him.

Yup. You know what it is.

Suit. Suit. Suit.

It must be a recess time or something.

What's going on, Big Six?

My money, Donnie.

That's what's up!

Where that dough?

I mean, you're here playing games
so that means you must have it, right?

Look, believe what you want, okay?

I'll get your money.
I said I will, okay?

First off, watch how you talk to me.

Secondly, I know you're gonna get it,
because if you don't,

you already know
what's gonna happen to you, boy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Everything good in here, man?

Who is you?

Who are you?

Is this your man?

[LAUGHS] Oh.

Okay.

w*r hero in the flesh.

Do you know who I am?

Should I care?

Okay.

I heard a lot of things about you,
Army boy.

I heard you got skills.

You're capable of
handling yourself real well.

Put your honor on the table, man.

I'll show you how capable I am.

Do I look like I play games, son?

Look right here, man.

I'm the big dawg in this town now.

You might need to know that
for the future

and for your personal safety,
if you know what I mean.

- The big dawg.
- Yeah.

Yeah. All right, ladies,
the door is that way.

- Come on, man.
- [LAUGHS]

Army boy got a set on him.

I like that. Respect.

I'm impressed.

It takes a lot to impress me, Donnie,
I'll tell you that.

Look, man, maybe we can use somebody

with your special skillset
down in my organization.

TRAVIS: Not interested.

You need to be.

Okay. Well, what's that?

You're tough now, huh?

See, that's the problem nowadays.

Any idiot, no matter
how stupid they are,

they can get their hands on a g*n.

They wanna walk around like
you're the tough guy on the block.

But you wanna impress me,
raise your right hand

and say "I do", strap on the uniform

then head down range
facing enemy that lives to only

k*ll or capture you

and parades your final moments on camera

for the whole world to see.

Look, I've been living dead
for the last 12 years.

No reason to live another day
if you think your boy here

can end my misery.

You think you can do that, big guy?

I'm gonna give you a try.

You got one time.

If you think you can get that g*n

before I take it from you
and shove it down your throat...

No, no, no.

Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, D.

We don't wanna smoke
while these people are here, man.

That's what I thought.

Now if you girls will excuse us,
we're gonna finish our game.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay. All right, I like that.

I like that, Army boy.

Look at here,
you have a change of heart,

you wanna
put those skills of yours to use,

earn some real money,
you come hollering at me.

I ain't hard to find.

I eat lunches here every day.

I know they don't open at 4:00 but
they do a special private lunch for me.

And it's all free.

You know what I'm saying?

So you come see me just to show you

there ain't no love lost, all right?

Are we done?

Yeah, for now.

Have my money, Donnie.

See you later, Army boy.

You got yourself into something
we need to talk about, Donnie?

No, not at all, man.

Let's just... Let's just play.

TRAVIS: Why is it so hot out here, man?
TIFFANY: know.

Oh, my goodness.

You picked the hottest day of the year
to go shopping.

Sweating through my shirt.

Oh!

Phew!

Okay, I hope I didn't forget anything.

Seriously?

You bought the whole store,
I don't think you forgot nothing.

Oh, did I get Marine Corp Bob's peanuts?
Because he loves it.

Peanuts!

Oh, and then what about the...

[CARTS RATTLING]

Oh!

Travis?

[BABY CRYING]

Shut that baby up!

Somebody shut that baby up,
it's gonna give away our position!

Okay, listen, Travis.
Travis, Travis, listen to me.

There is no... There's no baby.

- There's no baby.
- Get away from me!

Okay, listen, let me help you.

I don't need nobody's help!

Okay, listen.
At least, if you won't let me help you,

Travis, please, let God help you!

Go talk to Pastor Hood
because you cannot do this by yourself.

And if you try, you are gonna die,

and I cannot let that happen.

Just stay away from me, all right?
Just stay away from me.

- Travis?
- Just stay away from me.

PREACH: Travis.

Travis, help me!

Please help me!

Travis!

This is all your fault.

Oh, no!

Come on, man.

Who's there?

Who's... Travis?

Travis, is that you?

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Here you go, bud.

Thank you.

So what were you doing out there?

Just considering my options.

What does that mean?

I came here tonight

because I can't
live with myself anymore.

Of what I've become.

- Travis, I know it seems...
- No, Pastor, please.

Let me finish.

You know, people think
we keep going back

because we need the adrenaline
and we like k*lling.

None of that is true.

You know why we keep going back?

Tell me, son.

We go back so we can
keep our brothers and sisters alive.

That's why.

Just the thought that they are
over there in the fight without you,

that eats at your soul.

Now, you start believing you're the
only ones that can keep them alive.

But, then you find out that
that's not true either

because they still die.

Just like my friend Preach.

His last mission...

It was hot outside the wire that night.

[g*nf*re]

Preach was scared, man.

I've never seen him so afraid.

So he asked me to pray with him.

That's all he wanted,

but I didn't. I didn't do it.

I wouldn't.

That's all that man wanted
was for me to pray with him.

That's all I had to do,
is pray with the man,

but I said no.

Why didn't I just
pray with the man, Pastor?

Travis, I'm sure that your friend
understands why you didn't pray.

He d*ed!

That's what I understand, Pastor.

He d*ed, all of them, 35 men.

Ambushed.

Travis, I have never
served in the m*llitary,

so I'm not going to sit here

and pretend to even possibly relate
to the hell that you've been through.

But I can tell you this, son,

I have seen God
turn tragedies into miracles.

As a Christian, I believe,
we should all believe

that God's ways
are higher than our ways.

We might not understand what He's doing

but He always has a plan.

I believe God heard
your friend's prayers.

I believe God answered

your friend's prayers.

His prayers for himself
and his prayers for you.

And I also believe, Travis,

that God has a much greater
plan for your life than w*r.

Man, that's the same thing he said
that night.

I'm not saying any of this
to make you feel better,

I'm saying it because I believe it.

Preach used to always say...

He said, "Travis,

"don't leave this Earth

"without making sure
your soul is ready."

But I don't know when
I'm leaving this Earth,

but I know my soul ain't ready.

I'm gonna read you
something out of this book

that you've probably heard before.

"Who is it that overcomes the world?

"Only he who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God."

Travis, I know
you were baptized as a child,

but the Bible says, "He who believes
and is baptized will be saved."

I don't know if
I'm ready for all that yet.

I get it.

I'm not asking you to
make that decision tonight,

but I do want you to know,
that your faith is gonna grow

and your trust in the Lord
is gonna grow,

and that trust and that faith

is gonna lead you to that pool.

Or one like it.

Well, first, I'd like to say welcome.

I'm so happy that all of you decided
to join us here today.

I wanna remind everyone
that this is a safe space.

This is a space that we share,
that we respect one another,

and one another's feelings...

Come on in and join us.

You're right on time.

Well, tonight, we're gonna start
with a very simple exercise,

one that many of you have done before.

I'm really happy that you came tonight.

Yeah, me too.

- It was different.
- [TIFFANY SIGHS]

Pastor Hood told me about
what happened the other day.

That was different, too.

No.

That was God, Travis.

God working His miracles.

- Tiff.
- Yeah?

Talk to you for a second?

I had a friend.

Named Preach.

This was his.

He used to say stuff like what you said
all the time.

You wanna hear about them?

Of course.

PASTOR HOOD:
When the disciples heard this,

they were greatly astonished and asked,

"Who then can be saved?”

Jesus answered them and said,
"With men, this is impossible,

"but with God, all things are possible."

CONGREGATION: Amen.

PASTOR HOOD:
Praise Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you. God bless you, sir.

God bless you.

Well, Deacon Tiffany.

- Great sermon, Pastor.
- Thank you.

Travis, it's good to have you.

It's good to be here.

It felt really good to be here today.

I enjoyed it.

I know you've got to
report back for duty soon

but I've got a little favor
I wanna ask you.

What's that, Pastor.

I was wondering if you might be willing
to share your testimony

at Bible study Wednesday night.

Now, I know it might be a little soon...

Nah, I'll do it.

- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it'd be different,
but my therapist suggested

that I start talking more, you know,
share my feelings, so...

She's a smart lady.

I'll tell you what,
maybe that therapist,

whoever she may be,
might help you find the reason

to come back home
before another three years goes by.

- TIFFANY: Hmm.
- It's just a thought.

- Yeah, maybe.
- [PASTOR HOOD CHUCKLES]

Wow.

You know, I think Preach would be
proud of me right now.

I think he is very proud of you
right now.

[TRAVIS CHUCKLES]

Let's go.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hey, Pops.
- Hello, son.

Have you seen Donnie at all today?

No, actually, I haven't seen
or heard from him all day.

Okay.

Can you do me a favor?

So, yeah, okay.

Will you check Parkers and...

I'll talk to the Parkers, no problem.

- ...give me a call?
- Okay.

His poor mother's worried to death.

All right.

Well, you can practice
all you want, man,

you know you'll never be able to...

Who did that to your face, man?

It's not your business.

Okay, well, I'm making it my business.

Look, I screwed up, man.

I screwed up real bad
and cost my dad his shop.

So what, this Big Six guy,

he's taking Pops' money
because of something you did?

And now there's only
one way out of this.

How, Donnie?

Big Six has some crosstown rival
named Suarez,

who runs the Latino Vice Lords.

What does that have to do with you?

I don't know. Suarez has some major
drug shipment coming this weekend,

and Big Six found out
where he's keeping the cash

to pay for the score,
at his girl's crib on Station Ave.

And he wants you
to lift the cash for him?

Donnie, you can't do that, man.

Yeah. I told him that last night
and his goon Damon wasn't having it.

Look, listen to me.

You go down to Pops' shop,
have them close up early today.

What?

Look, Donnie, we both know
how this game is played, all right?

Go have Pops close early
and then you go home

and stay there, all right?

- I'll call you later.
- Travis, wait!

Go, Donnie!

I'll take care of it, man.

- Travis!
- Go!

Travis!

Hey, you know we didn't get a chance to
go by that last spot and get that money.

BIG SIX:
We can't take no more errors, all right?

Hey, Six, I'll be right back.

[KEYPAD BEEPS]

Hey, let me get some steaks sauce.

- WAITRESS: Okay.
- Hey, yeah.

No, no, no, I'mma have the money.
I promise.

You know I'm good for it, man!

Yeah.

No, no, no, look, I just got to be...

Let me call you back.

He lost his appetite.

Well-played, Army boy, well played.

Guess he won't be needing this.

You mind passing me the sugar?

Well, Donnie won't be
lifting that money for you.

That little fool just can't
keep his mouth shut, huh, can he?

And Pops ain't giving you no more money.

Wait, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, look at here now.

Same thing I told Donnie.

Everybody pays, aight?

You go near Donnie again,

you touch Donnie,
you go near Pops' shop,

I'm coming back.

And the next time, it won't be your boy
out there laying in his own blood.

You understand that?

Hey, Army boy.

I heard you've been asking
a lot of questions around town

about your parents
and their untimely accident.

Look, you'd better be real careful

with the next few words
that come out of your mouth.

Ain't nobody
got nothing to tell you, man.

But maybe I do.

Talk, man.

No.

I'm done talking.

You wanna hear what I got to say?

You already know
what you got to do for me.

All right?

How do I know you're not lying?

You don't.

But what you do want to know
is what really happened that night.

[BIG SIX LAUGHS]

Oh, okay. So what, you gonna
cut me now?

Go ahead, Army boy,
poke me full of holes.

But you know what?

Everything that I know
about what really happened that night

is gonna bleed out all over this table.

Yeah.

Hey, come on, man.

Now, that's just disrespectful.

You're just gonna ruin my brunch, huh?
All right.

Hey, Army boy,

you wanna know what really happened,
you get me my money.

TRAVIS: Donnie, it's me.

Where are you? Are you okay?
What you do?

He said he knows something
about my parents' accident.

What? Who? Big Six?

Yeah. So I'm gonna have to
lift his money for him.

Travis, you can't do that!

He's lying, man!

Look. I've talked to everybody who knows
anything about my parents' accident.

I ain't got no choice, Donnie.

He doesn't know nothing!

Travis, stay out of this, okay?

Big Six is not playing around.

If you steal that money, you know
exactly what he's going to do to you.

Don't matter, I ain't got no choice.

Look, I got something
I have to do at the church.

You just stay at home like I told you,
all right?

- [LINE DISCONNECTS]
- Travis! Travis!

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Tonight, we're gonna
shake things up a little bit.

Sometimes it's easy for us
to forget that

real life can be
really complicated sometimes.

So tonight, we are going to be blessed
by a very powerful testimony.

So if I have your permission,
I'm gonna trade places with Travis

and he's gonna come up here
and share his story.

I appreciate it, thank you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[EXHALES]

Well, good evening, everybody.

Uh...

My name is Sergeant First Class
Travis Fox.

WANDA: Did Donnie show up at all?

Well, no, he never showed up.

And Travis was looking for him
but he didn't call me back.

I'm worried, Joe.

I'm sure he's fine.

Will you be home soon?

Yeah, I'm locking up now.

- I love you.
- All right, love you, too.

[g*nshots]

Joe?

Joe?

What was that?

Joe!

Look, for along time,

I was using my parents' death
as a reason to hate God.

But I realized that's not true.

I started hating God a long time ago.

You see, over the years,
I've lost a lot of friends in this w*r

and I don't blame the government,

I don't blame the m*llitary.

I mean, we knew what we were doing.

We knew where we were going.

We knew what we was
getting ourselves into.

We just didn't know what will
happen to us when we came back.

After all the v*olence is,

certain things stay with you.

You start seeing the faces of the dead.

You want it to stop but it don't.

And it happens all the time.

While you're eating,
when you're sleeping.

And then you start thinking
about other options,

because you want the pain to stop.

And that's when
you start convincing yourself

maybe dying is a far better option
than living.

I was facing that option last week

out there in your parking lot.

Live or die.

And I put my g*n to my head.

I put my g*n to my head

and I said some things to God.

I thought these will be the last words

that I will ever speak in this lifetime.

I told Him,

"If you love me the way
Preach said you do,

"you always love me,
you're always good all the time,

"you got to show me.

"You got to show me
right here, right now.

"You're gonna show me that
I belong to you and you love me.

"That I belong to you,
I'm one of yours."

And I ain't hear nothing,

I ain't feel nothing.

So I was about to pull the trigger,

that's when
the door of this church opened

and your pastor walked out.

Look,

I didn't come here tonight
to tell you all that I'm healed,

because I'm not.

I have PTSD.

And there's along road ahead for me.

I know that.

Well, I'm seeking medical attention

to heal my mind.

And I'm seeking God to heal my soul,

my heart.

And I'm determined
to find my way back to God.

[APPLAUSE]

- [SIREN WAILING]
- NURSE: Is this the g*nsh*t victim?

- Yes.
- NURSE: Room four.

PASTOR HOOD:
Come in here all of you who fear God

and I will share
what He has done for my soul.

Son, your words
really moved the house tonight.

Thank you, Pastor.

I appreciate you
letting me talk to them.

I appreciate you coming.

I wish I could stay longer,

but I have something else I need to do.

It's Pops.

DAMON: He should be here by now.

Check it.

After we handle the w*r hero, man,

I want you to put a call
into the out-of-town guys, man.

Tell them I wanna take out Donnie
and his mama, too.

Got it.

What happened?

He was closing the shop.

We were on the phone together,
then I heard g*nshots. [SOBS]

- Was Donnie there?
- No.

He didn't show up for work today.

Okay. So what did the doctor say?

He said the next couple of days

will determine if he will make it.

I don't worry about that, Miss Wanda,
Pop's a Ranger.

He'll make it.

Where did you get that?

What?

That necklace!
Where did you get that necklace?

- Travis?
- Donnie.

Donnie gave me this necklace. Why?

TIFFANY: Travis! Travis!

Travis, wait! Please!

Look. That was
my mother's necklace, all right?

How did Donnie get my mother's necklace?

I don't know, but please calm down.

I gotta go, all right?

Travis!

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[LINE RINGING]

Hello, Papi, I think someone's here.

What he's waiting on?

I don't know.

Light's still on though.

Yeah, but we out here exposed
on Suarez's turf.

The longer we sit here, the longer...

We all right.

No, trust me, we all right.

All I'm saying is...

Look, I just said we all right, okay?

We got to get this money, man!

Because if we don't get this money,

we're gonna have to
deal with the connect,

and you already know
what they're gonna do.

So if you don't wanna deal with that,

I suggest you shut up and stay sharp!

All right?

Please, wait!

- Shut up!
- Travis?

How'd your mother get my necklace?

Get what? What are you talking about?

Miss Wanda have my mother's necklace on!
How did you get it?

I tried to tell you so many times,
okay, man, but I couldn't tell you that.

I couldn't! I'm sorry!

- Sorry about what?
- I'm so sorry!

What happened, man?

How did you get the necklace, Donnie?

Denzel, okay!

He wanted to be the Big Six,

so he made his move
to take over the turf.

He had a secret meet with the
previous Big and his two Captains.

A few minutes into the meet
all I hear is g*nf*re.

Denzel comes running out of the building

and we wind down the alley.

And I ran out of the alley
and your dad stepped on the gas

and swerved.

I was looking right at them, man.

And they were already gone, man.

There was nothing I could do.

I swear, nothing I could do.
I couldn't believe it.

TRAVIS: They were my parents, man.

Why didn't you just
tell me the truth, man?

You're supposed to be
my best friend, Donnie.

You could have came to me.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry, man.
I couldn't, man. I couldn't.

Just k*ll me, man,
because I'm dead already.

- And if I don't go in that house...
- You ain't going in the house.

- ...and get that money...
- You ain't going over there.

They're gonna k*ll him
and take my dad's shop.

Donnie, you ain't going in there!

That's Big Six' whip right there, man.

You go in that house
and you're gonna die!

That money is blood money.

And tonight it's your...

It's my what?

It's your daddy's blood
on that money, man.

- Man they sh*t Pops, man.
- What?

They tried to k*ll him.

And if the game is still the same,

you and your mother are next.

They k*lled my dad?

- He's still alive, but we got...
- [g*nf*re]

We got to go. We got to go.
Come on, let's move.

Move! Let's go!

Hey, are you okay?

You know the answer to that.

So what happened?

How did Donnie
get your mother's necklace?

It's not your concern.

Travis, please.
Please don't shut me out.

I know you're never gonna
forgive me, but...

Travis, please.

- Travis!
- What, Tiffany?

Is this the part where you tell me
everything's gonna be all right?

That it's okay that my best friend
caused my parents' accident?

I'm just supposed to pray
and everything gonna be all right?

I don't wanna hear that, Tiffany.

- No, but...
- Ain't no buts, Tiffany.

There's no way you
and nobody else can tell me

that God cares about me
when all he's ever done

is take away anybody who's ever loved

or cared about me, so I'm through.

Not everyone.

Look, there's no path
back to God for me, all right?

There's nothing left
but death, lies, hate.

Look, I'm through, all right?
I'm all out of options.

Travis!

PASTOR HOOD: Satan is at work every day,

trying to keep you away
from the gifts and the life

that God has promised you.

He'll try to keep you down,
hurt you, depress you,

even destroy those
who you love and care about.

TV NEWSREADER: We have more news

about the deadly sh**t Thursday night
on Station Avenue.

Police are telling News Center
the g*nf*re that erupted between

the two rival g*ng members
left four men dead

and one seriously injured.

Two of the dead
are known local g*ng leaders,

Denzel Ford and Suarez Hernandez.

Police are telling us the discovery
of a large sum of money

in the nearby home
of one of Hernandez' accomplices,

that's believed to be
the motive behind the fatal incident.

Now, in other news today, school...

Have you ever wondered

how the infinite God that we serve
could care about a single person?

I'm here to tell you, He does.

Yes.

I'm here to tell you that God cares
about every corner of His creation.

Think about it.

How can He keep tabs
of every sparrow that He has created

and not care about
each and every one of us

whom He has created in His own image?

Today, we are going to
baptize these believers

in the name of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

CONGREGATION: Amen.

It will cleanse your souls
of your sins and your worries.

As the choir sings, I ask each of you

who have come for baptism to follow me.

Come forth and receive
His grace and His forgiveness.

Hallelujah!

Thank you, Jesus!

So this is it.

I'm all out of options, Preach.

There are always options.

"For I know the plan I have for you",
declares the Lord.

"Plans to prosper you, not harm you.

"Plans to give you hope and a future."

Stop it, man.

No.

No more scriptures.

No more empty promises, all right?

There's nothing left for me, man.

Just death, betrayal, lies.

I'm all alone now.

You're not alone.

You have her.

She believes in you.

She cares for you.

You prayed to God for help
and He answered.

He brought her into your life
to help you.

She'll end up just like
all the rest of them.

You're wrong.

She is your way back to Him,

but you have to trust Him
and accept His plan for you.

You said you wanted to believe.

Go to church.

Fall on your knees and allow God
to cleanse you of your sins.

Ask for His grace and forgiveness.

I don't need His forgiveness, Preach.

Humble yourself before the Lord
and He will lift you up.

He will help you find
your way back to Him.

This I promise you, man,
because He never fails.

[SIGHS] Travis, we're all very sorry.

We never meant...

Pops, I forgive you.

I forgive everybody in here.

And I mean everybody.

Travis, I'm sorry.

Donnie, you ain't gotta
say nothing, man.

We're good.

I forgive you.

It's just that
you've always had my back.

And when you needed me the most,
I wasn't there for you.

Don't worry about it.

Am I my brother's keeper?

Yes, man, you sure are.

It's all good, man. I love you, dude.

POPS: Amen!

- Look at God.
- WANDA: Look at God!

I love you, man.

Rangers lead the way, old man.

Rangers lead the way, son.

Hoo-ah.

[PEOPLE CLAPPING]

Told you I was working on a plan.

Yeah, you did. You did.

Come on. You have a plane to catch.

- See now, my enlistment will be up soon.
- Yeah.

When I'm done, I'll come back here.

- You better.
- I know. I promise I will. I will.

Are you sure that
you wanna do this alone?

Yeah.

I mean, I know
what God's plan is for my life now.

Now I know what Preach meant
when he said that

there's still something I have to do.

And there are so many
that's out there like me.

Each trying to win
their battle against PTSD.

But you know when I'm gonna go back,

I'm gonna help them
find their way back to God's grace,

His strength,

so that medical professionals
like yourself

have all the time you need
to help us heal.

Okay.

All right. Well, you make me cry.

Aw!

Please be safe.

I will. I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.
