[Man] Let's turn in our
Bibles to Ephesians five, 22.

Wives submit onto your own
husband as onto the Lord,

for the husband is
the head of the wife,

even as Christ is the
head of the church.

And he is the
savior of the body.

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]
[engine rumbling]

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

[phone rings]

Reach the phone.

[phone ringing]

Pick up, Pick up.

[Phone] If you would like
to leave a message, press one.

Now listen to this.

Therefore, as the church
is subject unto Christ,

so let the wives be to their
own husbands in everything.

Dad, I'm leaving
the church right now

and something,
something happened

and I need you to do
something for me dad.

I, I think I may have done.

Now as we head out today

and we go to Take our
next meal with our family,

let's just remember this.

Husbands, well, our obligation

is to keep the
household in order.

And wive, well, keep it clean.

[crowd chuckles]

Okay.

[people chattering]

♪ We used to laugh
and play all day ♪

Hello, gorgeous.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Do you think your husband
would mind if I kissed you?

He may.

But I say go for it anyway.

Get a room.

Ladies.

He is so amazing.

If Johnny was half
the man the pastor is,

I would have a permanent
smile on my face.

Well no one's perfect Elaine.

We all have our issues.

It seems like you may have

found that one
needle in a haystack.

Hey girl, you are fine.

What's that?

Boys.

Oh, now calm down Elizabeth.

She is put together
like a grown woman.

Micheal.

What?

Hey, it's okay to
acknowledge her beauty.

It's biblical.

Hey at least the
boy aint gay, right?

Hey, you don't worry
about your mom,

all right, she's just jealous.

Cause she knows that she
would embarrass us all

If she tried to squeeze
into a dress like that.

Good grief, hey Liz, Liz
stop for a second okay?

Come here, it was just a joke.

It wasn't funny.

Okay.

Well how about I take you out

to a nice fancy restaurant
for lunch this week

and you can wear the smallest
dress that you can fit into.

It really was just a joke.

I'm just, I'm just
playing around

♪ Who you are ♪

Make yourselves comfortable.

How are you Faith?

Fine.

[Elizabeth] Tell me how my
little friend here is doing.

Faith shut down at school.

She usually makes good
grades and is well behaved.

I'm not sure what happened.

She's fine at home.

We laugh and play.

Are any of the students
at school hurting you?

Faith, honey?

No one is hurting me.

Okay.

Hey.

Hot.

[both laughing]

[man kissing]

Good after noon beautiful.

How was your workout?

It was good, worked
up an appetite.

Good, isn't it?

What is that?

Patience grasshopper.

This is for dinner.

I have some lunch for
you in the fridge.

Hey baby, go grab that red bowl

from the refrigerator for me.

So what do we have going
on for the rest of the day?

I am meeting Grace.

I haven't seen my
sister in over a year

and she only lives
45 minutes from me.

That's because we decided
that she wasn't in a good place

and that we didn't want her
dragging you down with her.

No, you decided that
she wasn't in a good place

because she's single.

I think it would be really nice
to catch up with my sister.

I'll only be an hour
and a half or so.

I think she can help me
get my book off the ground.

You said that you
supported that.

You know I support
everything you do.

It's fine.

Go.

Maybe we can go to a
movie when mama gets back.

Mommy's too busy for us today.

Faith, baby, a
movie is a great idea.

We'll all go when I get back.

Is this going to
be a problem later?

Not for me.

You know what?
I'll just cancel.

I can meet up with
her some other time.

[Man] Whatever you decide.

You're hanging out
all times of day,

and I'm working my butt.

[Woman] How am I hanging out?

I'm at home every
single day, all day.

I am done with
this conversation.

[furniture crashes]

[Derek yelling]

[Woman] I'm done.

[Man] Don't you
walk away from me.

[Woman] Get your
hands off of me.

Let me go Derek!

[Man] I don't know...

♪ I need more, more of you ♪

[Liz humming]

[Michael] Today
was a good day.

And why is that?

Let me show you how to
properly greet your husband.

I know how to
greet you Michael,

I'm just trying to
get your ironing done

so I can have your
dinner ready by seven.

First you smile
when he walks in.

Then you kiss him,
like you haven't

seen him for days, embrace him.

Embrace me.

That's all I get?

Tell me about your day.

We've got the yes we've been
waiting on for the permit.

Oh, that's fantastic.

I guess I finally won
him over with my charm.

Well I'm proud of you.

I ran into a church
member this morning.

I'm concerned, her face
was bruised pretty badly.

Did she tell
you what happened?

Yeah, it's her husband.

I don't know much about him,

I've only seen him at
church a few times.

Is she a good wife to him?

I don't know, but he
shouldn't be beating on her.

Okay, that's not what I meant.

But usually men
lash out like that

because their wives
are pushing them.

Explain.

The more respect
you show a man,

the more love he
will give in return.

Can't believe this is
coming out of your mouth.

Well, it's not, it's biblical.

The Bible literally
commands wives to respect

their husbands,
to submit to them.

It's going to be in their
best interest for both of them

if she's as obedient to him

as possible while he's
going through this phase.

Phase?

Clearly it's not who he is

or she wouldn't
have married him.

Now if his, if
his heart changes,

well, then that's a win for
her and for the kingdom.

Yeah, praise God.

So I should do nothing?

Offer to counsel
them together.

Maybe that'll help.

Anyway, I'll be back down
at seven for my dinner.

[Liz humming]

How about I look
into getting you

a little radio for
when you're home?

That way you can
sing with the music.

Come on, don't look
at me like that.

You're singing's not that bad.

Oh baby, come here, come here.

I wouldn't worry about it okay?

You're talented at
so many other things.

[women chuckling]

Girl, he had to go.

He was so fine though.

Grace, and he had an accent?

Coy, you are married.

Married, not
blinds and not dead.

Maybe I should find a cop.

I mean, both of y'all
dipped into that pool,

so how's the water?

Derek is fine.

Yes he is, mine's
getting a little pudgy

in the midsection,
and his feet stink.

But he keep you
looking, right?

It's so stressful being
married to a police office,

and he brings all his
stress home, all the time.

He does like, what does he do?

He's just moody.

Sometimes he yells, he'll
slam doors, he'll throw stuff.

It's whatever though.

Has he ever hit you?

Oh honey, my whole
family is crazy.

He knows it.

He's a jerk, but he makes
up for it on payday.

The gifts make
up for everything?

The yelling, the moods?

What's the alternative,
dating again?

I'm not going back to kissing
frogs and hoping for a Prince.

I just stick it out with
the moody toad I do have.

Well get it how you live,

but next time, can
you get a group gift?

Just saying.

I needed that, I haven't
been out in forever.

So are we going
to talk about it?

About what?

I don't know, Grace.

It seems like everything
is just falling apart.

When did this start?

A few months ago.

We took a trip to a
little bed and breakfast.

The news popped up about
a cop shooting another kid

and we were on our way out
the door and he lost it.

Okay?

It was the first time he
ever lost it on me like that.

He hit me so hard.

My husband hit me like I
was some man off the street.

I'm so sorry.

Those same hands
taught me how to play

this piano when we got married.

Patient, gentle.

Those same hands.

I just can't figure out what
I did to change him so much.

You can't think
this is your fault?

Who's is it?

His, all his.

How often is he doing this?

Usually after he's
had a few beers.

It started out once a month,

but now he's drinking more.

Faith?

Oh no, he has never
laid a hand on her.

It's not okay for
him to hit you either.

He's not a monster, Grace.

This isn't him.

He is truly sorry
for the last time,

he promised he would
never do it again.

Promises don't mean squat.

And sorry isn't worth the
oxygen it takes to say it.

You know, this was supposed
to be girls' night in.

I turned it into a pity party.

It's okay for you to
talk to me about this.

I know.

I just don't want
to, not tonight.

But we will talk more.

I'm here for you
whenever you need me

and you and Faith always
have a place with me.

Thanks, sis.

I may take you up on that.

Please don't tell dad.

No, but I sure wouldn't mind

throwing something at his ass.

[Tanya laughing]

[door creaks]

I couldn't believe it.

Right?

[Derek] Hey, go
get in there, go.

[Faith] Aunty, Grace!

Hey.

Look what daddy bought me?

Let me see, whoa, that's
really nice sweet pea.

How about you go upstairs,

put it in your jewelry
box, and hop in the tub?

Okay.

Okay, all right.

Grace, haven't
seen you in a while.

Way too long,

but you'll be seeing a
lot more of me now though.

Grace, could you
please give us a second?

Sure.

I'll go hang out with my niece.

Look, I know that this gift

won't make up for what I did.

But you have to know
that I love you.

How would I know that Derek?

Because it's me.

It's us, always been us.

Look in my eyes.

I'm going to make
you proud again.

It'll be just like it
used to be, promise.

No more hitting, I mean it.

Cross my heart.

No face this beautiful,
should be hit, ever.

It will never happen again.

Do you forgive me?

Now give me my gift.

[paper rustling]

I love it babe.

Never again, okay?

All that other stuff,
it's behind us.

Let me take you out.

Tonight?

No, I can't.

Yes, baby, let
me take you out.

Grace can stay here with Faith.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, come on.

[Michael] Running a little
late on dinner, aren't you?

I had a session that ran over

and then mom called and
talked for over an hour.

And you wanted steak instead

of the chicken I'd
already prepared.

Dinner should be on
the table at seven.

I don't expect your mother
to care about such things

since her idea of dinner
was a bucket of chicken

on the table and
nine every night.

But you know how our
household is run.

It'll be ready shortly.

A wife's priority
after God is her husband

and then comes work,
and friends, and family

and that includes your mother

I said, it'll
be ready shortly.

Don't rush past the seasoning.

Yes?

Any other man
would feel unloved

by his wife who was coming
home and not acknowledging him.

I'm just trying to get
your dinner on the table.

Maybe if you cut the
cackle session short

with your mother then

I wouldn't have to
forfeit my greeting.

Good evening Michael.

Wow.

Just like old friends.

Why do you keep testing me?

Testing you?

Nevermind.

No, no, no, no,
explain what you mean.

Nevermind.

I don't want to argue.

So you're okay?

Great.

May I get back to your steak?

I'll be in the dining room.

Oh, and it's almost seven.

You look so much
younger when you smile.

It's nice.

Your mother is
a terrible person.

You only had chicken at nine,

well what's wrong
with freaking chicken?

God.

It's okay.

7:04.

Let's bless this meal no matter

how late it was
put on the table.

Dear Lord.

Thank you for this day

and for this food
that was prepared

for the nourishment
of our bodies

and thank you for the beautiful
hands that prepared it.

[Elizabeth] I know
it's a little over done.

Nope, come here honey.

Come here.

Look at this here.

How do I like my steak prepared?

I was trying.

Instead of cutting short
the enthralling conversation

you were having
with your mother,

this less than mediocre
meal is my fault?

No, that's not
what I'm saying.

[plate shatters]

Clean it up.

I'm going out.

[door bangs]

[dramatic music]

[Tanya laughs]

Hey babe.

Must be nice to just sit
around all day, watching TV.

Huh?

I've been working all day.

You call what you do work?

You're drinking.

So.

Come sit down, tell
me what's going on.

You fix dinner?

Yes, come sit down.

It's should still be warm.

So what's going on?

Rough night out?

Babe, can you not hear me?

Yeah I hear you.

Dinner is served.

Okay.

[Tanya laughing]

So all this shit is funny
right now to you, huh?

What?

I just came home from a
terrible ass day at work,

and you sitting up in
here laughing in my face.

I tried talking to you,
but you didn't respond.

I thought I would
be a bigger help

by just leaving you alone.

Eating popcorn and laughing
in my damn face is helping me?

Am I entertaining you?

I was laughing at
the movie, not you.

You know I wouldn't do that.

What is wrong with you?

Oh, so now I'm the
problem here too?

I don't know what
happened at work,

but we said that we would
stay calm and talk it out.

And are you a
fucking councilor?

Derek.

Derek, calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Derek, Derek.

Get me another beer.

[Tanya whimpering]

[hand smacks]
[dramatic music]

I said, get me another beer.

[Tanya gasps]

This one's empty.

[foot thuds]

Get up.

No, no!

[Derek] Get up.

No, Derek, please!

[fist bangs]

[dramatic music]

And so at this time,

those of you who are
in need of prayer.

Or if you have family

or loved ones in need of
prayer, meet me at the altar.

♪ I surrender ♪

[Michael] Yes ma'am.

♪ All to him ♪

said, cometh on to me.

Yes sir.

[Michael] Come,

[Michael] Thank you brother.

Excuse me.

I haven't seen you in awhile.

He's not going to change.

You have to.

I have to change?

What?

Be a better wife?

Keep my mouth shut?

Tell me, what do
I need to change?

You have to get out of
there before he kills you.

Like I told you before,
I'm not leaving him.

Derek is a good man deep down.

He pays all the bills, and
he keeps food on the table.

And I'm sure he makes you feel

like the most special
person in the world.

Most of the time.

He needs me, and
Faith and I need him.

He won't stop.

Do you have any idea how hard

it is right now to
be a police officer?

Half of the world hates you
because of the corrupt ones.

Ad being black and
people hate you

because you're a sellout.

Every day he goes out there

and put his life on the line.

And then he comes home
and does this to you.

It isn't okay.

No matter how many lives
he saves, this is not okay.

Is your marriage so perfect
that you can't understand

that couples go through
a few rough patches?

I see how pastor
Jeffrey treats you

but would you leave him if
he was abusive a few times?

Yes.

I would.

Than you're lying to yourself.

It's easy when it's
not your reality

You know they granted
my permit right?

At first we get the program,
then we get the school.

I heard, you know
your little brother,

he already has his own Academy

and a yearly mission
out of his church.

He'll get there.

Oh, that's so nice.

Having your little lady
speak on your behalf.

Be careful, some might consider
that a sign of weakness.

She doesn't speak for me.

And I'll have that
school within a year.

I got the permit, I
will get that school.

[man laughs]

Son, you think you got that
permit on your own don't you?

[man laughs]

It was you?

I don't mind
throwing my weight

around a little bit for my boy.

Matthew, why don't you go
ahead and get these dishes?

Oh wait, wait a second.

You're having your
boy do dishes?

What are you trying to do,

turn him into a housewife?

Everyone does their part
around here. Mr. Jeffries.

Why don't you come
with your granddad

and we're going to go watch
a game in the living room.

We'll let your mother
and your grandmother,

they'll take care of the dishes.

And I am going to teach you all

about the roles that God
created for man and woman.

I had such high hopes
for this one here.

So Mikey, you want to stay

and help the women
with the dishes?

Michael.

Oh, doing the dishes
won't kill you, Liz.

You do them most
of the time anyway.

You're letting
him come in here

and tell your wife what to do?

A husband should be able to do

whatever he chooses in his home.

His castle.

Is that so?

Well in this house...

You will not cause
a scene in my home.

You see how my mom just got up
without a word of complaint?

You can learn a thing
or two from her.

It's no reason to
be so upset dear.

Bernie's, right.

Washing dishes is not
a chore for a boy.

So you're okay with
all this role stuff?

There've always been
roles for men and women

and if we are to be good wives
as the good Lord instructs,

we acknowledge those roles.

So just submit, under
every circumstance.

Under every circumstance.

Michael's a great
man, Elizabeth,

and you should be grateful that

you have someone who
treats you so well.

He is a great man.

He's just not a great husband.

I can't believe
I'm hearing this.

He treats you like a queen.

Yes, sometimes.

And then sometimes he's abusive.

Is Michael hitting you?

No, no, he's just...

Well then how is it abuse?

I don't know.

I don't know if it's
abuse, I just, I feel...

We are here to help our
husbands reach their greatness

and that's not always easy.

I'm just not happy.

I don't know why.

You'll figure it out
what's wrong with you.

Wrong with me?

Our husbands are
exceptional men.

They don't curse, or hit us,
or step out with other women.

Yeah.

Can we keep this
conversation just between us?

Like it never happened, dear.

Please, will you
rinse these dishes?

My knees need a break.

Of course, I'm sorry.

Please, rest.

Michael's trying to fill
some pretty big shoes.

Try and give him
a break, ya hear?

♪ The angels for me ♪

You don't have
to stop singing,

Look what I found.

Surprise, so you
don't have to feel

so uncomfortable
about being so pitchy.

I'm glad you and my mom got
to spend some time together.

Mhm.

That's all?

Can we talk about this later?

I have some things on my mind.

Like what you were
talking to my mom about?

Excuse me?

Well, I saw you
talking quietly

to her while she
was washing dishes.

So what were you talking about?

I asked you a question.

That's really between your
mother and me and Michael.

Your husband is
asking you a question.

Can I just finish
these dishes?

We can talk later.

Your husband's
asking you a question,

and that means we talk now.

I asked, I'm asking for space.

Wives submit to
your husbands as God.

I know the scripture.

What were you talking
to my mother about?

You and me Michael, we
were talking about us.

I already knew that.

You don't think my mother

would keep something like
that from me, do you?

She couldn't wait
to run and tell you.

This isn't about her,

this is about you
and your defiance

and you're going behind my back.

Defiance?

Yes.

I don't want to talk
about this right now.

Yeah, well you don't really
have that option, do you?

Who else have you
been talking to?

Your mother?

Is this what we're doing now?

Ignoring me when we're talking?

You're talking Michael.

I'm just here.

You can follow me all over
the house if you want to

but you can not force me
to have a conversation

that I don't want to have.

Son, when it comes time
for you to pick out a wife

make sure you find one who
is respectful and obedient.

How dare you
bring him into this?

My responsibility as
a parent is to make sure

that he is capable of making
the right decisions in life.

That's right, son.

Let's go to the store.

Okay.

And where do you
think you're going?

Get back in the house.

We just want to
go for ice cream.

Yeah, so get out of our way.

You're not going anywhere.

[dramatic music]

You hear me?

You're not going anywhere.

Okay, I'm sorry, I'll stay.

Faith, why does
your mom always

wear sunglasses even inside?

Her eyes are
sensitive to light.

Oh, my mom told my dad that
she always has bruises too.

She just falls a lot.

She's really clumsy sometimes.

Oh.

Hey girls, do
y'all want a snack?

[Both] Okay.

You're the best mom ever.

No, I'm not, but
I'm trying, baby.

You don't have to do that.

I'm coming to apologize.

I never should've brought
Matthew into this.

Is that all you're
apologizing for?

What else is there?

What are you doing?

It's been four days Liz.

And?

And I'm struggling.

This is why so many marriages
open up to temptation.

There are certain things that
are expected of you as a wife.

So I'm just
supposed to say yes

every time you want to have sex,

even if I don't want to,

because that's my
duty as a wife?

Yes.

Just like how you expect
me to go out and make money

because that's my
duty as a husband.

I'm not having sex with
you tonight, Michael.

So you can do, you can do
whatever you decide to do.

Michael, let go of me.

You are still my wife.

We are of the same flesh Lizzy.

Michael.

Do not deny your husband.

Michael, you're hurting me.

Come, shh, shh, shh.

[dramatic music]

Tell me you love me Lizzy.

I love you so much.

Tell me that.

Michael.

Lizzy, I love you so much.

I love you so much, I love you.

[Tanya] Sleeping
over at Zoey's tonight.

Oh, so that means it's

I guess so.

Something wrong with you?

I have something for you.

Faith's been hearing
you hitting me, she knows.

Kids know that their parents
argue from time to time.

It's no big deal.

The big deal is
we aren't arguing.

I don't want her to
think that it's okay.

All of that's in the past.

And the past seems to
keep repeating itself.

I gave you my word.

Again.

I bought you flowers,
you love flowers.

You're not gonna
thank me for that?

No.

Take the flowers.

And then what?

We start all over tomorrow.

I said that that
was in the past.

Why are you trying
to start a fight?

You can't buy my
forgiveness anymore.

Meaning?

What would you say to
your daughter if you knew

some man was giving
her black eyes?

What would you tell
her to do Derek?

You thinking about leaving me?

Would you try to stop me?

If I had to.

Look, look, look, look,

okay, okay, okay,
listen, listen, look.

I have these beautiful
flowers here, for you.

I've apologized for all that

other stuff that
happened before.

So let the past
just be the past.

Now, are you going to
take these flowers?

Or am I going to have to
give them to somebody else?

Don't nobody want your
ugly ass sunflowers.

[dramatic music]

[Tanya cries out]

[dramatic music]

Damn!

You see?

I try to do something nice for

your ungrateful ass,
but you want to fight.

Don't come out of this room
until your attitude is right.

[dramatic music]

[Michael] Where are you going?

To the bathroom.

[morose music]

[door clicks]

[morose music]

[Liz crying]
[morose music]

[Michael] Lizzy?

[morose music]

[water splashing]
[morose music]

[door knocks]

Hey, how long are you
going to be in there?

[morose music]
[water splashing]

[door clicks]

[morose music]
[water splashing]

[door knocks]

[Derek] Tanya.

Hey, Sarge.

[Man] We got a call
about loud voices,

yelling coming from your place.

[Sarge] This is officer Banks.

Just transferred
in from up north.

[Banks] Do you
mind if we come in

and speak to both of you?

[Derek] Well all of that
really isn't necessary.

[Banks] Well I'd still
like to speak to you,

if that's not a problem.

[Sarge] Yeah Derek,

we probably should
talk to both of you.

[Derek] Tanya!

Excuse the mess.

Wife isn't much of a home
maker, but she can cook.

So I guess that makes up for it.

I'll speak with
the wife separately.

Hi, I'm officer Banks.

Tanya, Derek's wife.

You mind telling me
what happened tonight?

Me and my husband just
had a little disagreement.

From the looks of the
scratches on his face,

I would say it's a little
more than a disagreement.

You wanna tell me about those?

I lost my balance and
reached out for his hand,

and completely missed.

I see.

Were you defending yourself?

Would you like to
speak in private?

No.

Do you realize every
time I ask you a question,

you look at your husband?

You're still doing it.

Look at me, I'll ask you again.

Would you like to
speak to me in private?

No, I'm okay.

We're okay.

I can't help if you don't ask.

Nothing here.

He's one of us.

You're really lucky.

This officer has
clearly been assaulted.

He's a good man.

Make sure you're
taking care of him.

[Banks] Don't hesitate
to call if you need us.

[Derek] Thank you.

You know, every time I
asked your wife a question,

she would look to see
if you were watching

and every time you were.

If I was hitting my wife,
like you seem to be implying,

why wouldn't she just
have me locked up?

Man, she loves you.

She just doesn't want
to see you in jail.

She wants you to
stop beating on her.

Like I said before, there's
nothing going on here.

[Man] Banks, go
wait in the car.

Listen man.

This is the fourth time
we've been out here.

[Derek] There's never been
any charges filed, no arrests.

It's one thing if
it was officer Cooper

but this new guy can cause
some real problems for you.

Just keep it down.

It's not worth the
jail time brother.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll take care of it.

Appreciate it.

Ya'll be good.

All right.

[door clicks]
[locks clicking]

You won't be happy till you
see me in jail, will you?

If I wanted you in jail,
I would have told him.

Told him what?

Better be glad I
didn't press charges.

But don't worry baby.

I won't let them lock
you up, this time.

We could be a perfect team

if you had just
taken the flowers.

[dramatic music]

Good night.

Good night Derek.

[dramatic music]

[water splashing]

[door knocks]

[Michael] Hey, Lizzy?

[dramatic music]

[doctors chattering]
[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

I love you.

You know I love you right, yeah?

[Derek crying]

I don't wanna hurt you.

I don't.

You trying to leave me hm?

You're trying to leave me?

No?

Okay.

Good, till death
do us part, right?

Right?

Okay, okay.

I love you.

Okay.

Good night, good night.

[morose music]

Hi.

How could you embarrass
the church like this?

How could you
embarrass me like this?

I'm sure people are
already talking.

What were you
thinking about Liz?

[door knocks]

Good morning Pastor Jeffries,
I'm minister Ross Day.

I was just coming by to
check on Ms. Jeffries.

Hi, all right.

[Ross] How are you
feeling today ma'am?

[Michael] She's
not speaking much.

Feeling much better.

Would you mind if I spoke
to Ms. Jeffries alone?

Oh, we don't keep any
secrets from one another.

[Ross] It's just
protocol at this hospital.

I hope you understand.

I'll be right outside,
just a wave if you need me.

[Ross] Ms. Jeffries.

Please, please
call me Elizabeth.

As part of what I do
here at the hospital

I have to ask you some
difficult questions.

I understand.

What happened last night
to bring you to this point?

[door clicks]

He can't hear you.

Thank you.

Last night, my husband and I,

we got into a heated argument.

He came in later and
he wanted to have sex.

I was still upset with him,

so I denied him and
he, he did it anyway.

Are you saying he forced you?

You make it so,
sounds so violent

when you say it like that.

He's my husband.

It wasn't rape.

We're married and um.

You shouldn't be guilted
or forced into having sex.

If it's not
consensual, it is rape.

A husband can't rape his wife.

Yes Elizabeth,
marital rape exists.

Michael has never
been violent with me.

I mean I wasn't in danger, I
didn't even scream for help.

Well, I think this
is a scream for help.

And you are in danger.

If you think that the
only way to escape

is to take your life.

I'm not telling you what
to do in your marriage

but what I will say is
that your life matters.

It is important that you
take care of yourself,

of your body, as
well as your soul.

I can't just walk
out on a marriage.

Right?

I don't like divorce.

But I think that
sometimes it's necessary.

Why don't we just talk

about that when
you're feeling better?

Yeah.

Lizzy, the nurses say
it's time for breakfast.

I'll be around if you need
me for prayer or anything.

It's a pleasure
to meet you both.

Well.

What were the two of
you talking about?

I'm tired Michael.

I can eat a little breakfast,
but then I need to rest.

Got a minute.

[Elizabeth] Yeah, come on in.

I missed you last Sunday.

[Elizabeth] I was
sick, much better though.

I've been wanting
to talk to you.

Yeah, have a seat.

So you wanted to talk to me?

Well I did.

Now that I'm here I
don't know what to say.

Did you want to talk
to me about Faith?

or Derek?

Derek or me.

He attacked me again.

Hey, I am so sorry.

Did you call the police?

He is the police.

Okay.

There are shelters
that you can go to.

They have counselors and
legal representation.

You'd be protected there.

I have Faith to look after,
I can't just move her to.

Look, he's good to her.

How good is he to her if
he's trying to kill her mother?

Shelter is just not an option.

Okay.

So what are you going to do?

Keep my head
down, my mouth shut.

It's not your fault.

You know that right?

Abuse is about
power and control.

[Tanya] Well, he has both.

What do you need from me?

Tell me what to do.

Leave him, by any
means necessary.

There's a safe place I can
give you information on.

They can help you
with resources.

They can help get
you on your feet.

I don't know.

Try them.

Make sure you have all
your important documents,

birth certificates, passports.

Maybe even get a prepaid
phone so you can't be tracked.

They can help you
with an escape plan.

What if he kills me?

I won't lie.

The most dangerous time will
be when you try to leave.

Take his threats seriously.

If you have a plan,

you can be one of the
ones that make it.

I just don't know
if I can risk it.

I have Faith to take care of.

What would she do
without her mother?

Exactly.

Well, I better get going.

I don't want him
wondering where I'm at.

[door creaks]

[door clicks]

Faith honey, why don't
you to go upstairs

and get out of your
church clothes?

Not before you give
your daddy a hug.

[Derek chuckles]

Where have y'all
been today sweet pea?

Just to church.

Did you go anywhere
after church?

No, just home.

Was mommy talking to the
deacons or her church friends?

I don't know.

I stay into my class
until she gets me.

I was like the last
one in there today.

But Ms. Sanders gave
me extra piece of candy

so it was fine with me.

I bet it was.

Well why don't you head up

to your castle
princess and change up?

On the count of three, one,
two, three, go, go, go, go.

What took you so long
to get her from class?

First lady's been out sick.

I just stopped by to
speak to her for a minute.

About me?

Of course not,
about church stuff.

Good.

You know, I have never
been shot before,

but I have heard how
painful it is when it...

[gun clicks]

Rips through you.

[Derek laughs]

Don't be so serious.

I'm just cleaning them.

Never know when you'll
need to use one.

Happy anniversary, darling.

Look, I know our relationship
has been rocky lately

but I want our
marriage to be strong.

Like it always has been.

A book.

Well, not just any
book, here, look at it.

How To Properly Care For
And Serve Your Husband.

I know it gets confusing

for women to know
what their role is.

And this book right here

redefines what it means
to be a good wife.

Here, I even highlighted
some of the passages

that I thought you
might find enlightening.

How to turn your not right
now's into right away dear.

[Elizabeth laughs]

Oh my God.

That was uncalled for.

No, that book
was uncalled for.

[dramatic music]

[mail ripping]

[dramatic music]

We've all been
praying for you, Liz

and since we heard
about your accident.

Because the severity of the
situation of what happened

we think that, that you should.

You should step
down from counseling

until everything gets
back to normal with you.

And this was your idea?

You know, you've had issues
with her anxiety before

and now it's the pills.

My medical history is private.

This is not the time.

I have always
been there for you.

If you can't make the
hard decisions, I can.

[Elaine] I think
pastors just trying

to do what's right
for the church.

So this is about the church?

Or is it about my marriage?

Now Lizzy, our
marriage is our business,

that has nothing
to do with this.

What about the members
I'm counseling now?

There's a young woman...

I'll counsel her

and I won't suggest that
she leave her husband

every time he loses his temper.

Unbelievable.

Bottom line, Elizabeth,

you tried to take your
own life, which is a sin.

You've advised a member

of the church to sin by
divorcing her husband.

It's just sin on top of sin

and we can't have you
leading souls astray.

Elaine, can give her the card?

He's a highly competent
Christian counselor.

We want our Elizabeth back.

You okay sister?

I've been driving
around for hours.

What are you doing?

We're going to
pack your things.

I know you're not staying now.

Tanya.

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

I just need to see what's...

Just stop.

I don't want to hear
any more excuses.

Why would you even tell me if
you weren't going to leave?

Do you remember
when he proposed?

He was supposed to
be this good husband.

Proposing doesn't make
good husband material

any more than pouring syrup on
yourself makes you a pancake.

[both laughing]

You are still so cheesy.

And you love me for it.

You're still gonna
leave him though.

Yeah, you're right.

I wasn't asking.

I have her address.

What, you ain't said
nothing but a word.

Wait what?

Oh sis, no.

The Vaseline?

Oh, listen, you
know, I stay ready.

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

Now look, we're not doing that.

This is not high school.

I'm about to
take him to school.

- Oh, do you just carry that around with you?
- You better drive this car.

I'm going, I just, you just.

What, where did
you pull that from?

- Sweetie, come on.
- Vaseline?

Well, listen.

The shades?

I mean come on.

Oh girl.

Did you have your
phone off today?

Where were you, and
why was your phone off?

[hands bangs]

I asked you a question.

Where were you?

What, you weren't
watching your tracker today?

I won't to ask you again.

[Tanya] Not too much
to say on that, huh?

Why are you opening my mail?

That's what you
have to say to me?

I would have taken care of it.

Like you took care of that DNA
test, without me knowing?

If I wouldn't have come home
early, I still wouldn't know.

I didn't know if she
was telling the truth.

She has been harassing
me for months,

threatening to tell you.

I know you're not trying to
make me feel sorry for you.

- She's crazy.
- Do not all that woman crazy.

Because she wants you to take
care of your son, she's crazy?

Damn man.

He looks just
like you, I saw him.

And I saw her.

The woman you were seeing when

you were working
late on Fridays.

I drove by her house.

Do you know how
dangerous that is?

Baby.
We can start over.

I'll do everything
right this time.

I can't do this Derek.

You have to let me go.

So you're just
going to leave me

after one moment of weakness?

A moment?

You have a whole son out there.

Or maybe you're talking
about the moment

I was seeing spots while
you were choking me.

Or the moment I found

out that I can't have
any more children

because you lost your temper

and kicked me till I
miscarried our son.

How many more
moments of weakness

do I need to overlook Derek?

I'm going to fix this.
Okay?

[dramatic music]

Okay?

[dramatic music]

We'll just work out the
details tomorrow then, okay?

Thank you brother.

So I don't see dinner.

Not making any.

Are you ill?

Nope.

You care to enlighten me?

[TV chattering]

Well, dinner better be
on that table at seven

or I'm going out, alone.

I think that's a great idea.

I mean, you going out.

I'd actually like
for you to stay out.

What in hell's going on Lizzy?

I'm filing for divorce

and I'd like you out
until that happens.

We're not getting a divorce.

Neither of us is happy.

Why would you...

No.

No.

I will not have that
kind of talk in my house.

Today was necessary Lizzy,

you set me in that room, and
painted me to be a psychopath.

Then you took the only thing

that I have outside
of this house.

And it was in
your best interest.

My best interest, or in yours?

It's always been about you,
then the church, then Matt.

And if there's
nothing else going on,

I may get your attention
for a minute or two.

This, this is not you.

Look, you're at that age now

where your hormones
are all out of whack,

and you're acting irrationally.

Are you, this isn't
freaking menopause Michael.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Well, then think
about the repercussions.

You'll be teaching our son

that it is okay to
abandon their vows.

You broke our vows first,
when you didn't protect me.

I'm an expert in divorce.

I counsel it all the
time, I see what happens.

It gets ugly.

The women always regret it

and the only people who
get hurt are the children.

If you think you can guilt me

into staying by using our son...

Parents work things out,
Christians work things out.

They don't just walk away.

Everyone's going to
think you're crazy.

You're probably
right about that.

I just don't give a damn.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

What are you talking about?

[morose music]

It wasn't me.

Oh, try not to worry about it.

We'll figure it out.

I'll see what I can find out.

It was beautiful,
I really enjoyed it.

You did an amazing job.

Thank you.

I'd love for you to come
and rehearse with the choir

and maybe get them
on the same page.

Hi Tanya.

How could you?

I'm sorry?

How could you all his boss?

It was for your safety.

My safety?

And how did all of this
play out in your head?

Well...

He would get arrested,
he would get fired?

I don't even have
a place to go yet.

Okay, Tanya, clam down.

I will not clam down.

You told me to get
a plan together

and I was working on that.

You still can.

You don't get to
dictate how my life goes.

How dare you?

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Of course you didn't know,
because it's not your marriage.

I was looking out for you.

No you weren't, you were
trying to be the hero.

You and Faith deserve better.

I made a decision.

And who the hell gave
you that authority?

Tanya.

He will kill me,
you just killed me.

No.

[dramatic music]
[Tanya crying]

[door clicks]

[Tanya] Derek, you scared me.

I'm sure I did.

[Tanya] It wasn't
me, I promise.

I know.

I know you didn't do anything.

Come sit down.

Where's Faith?

With Zoey, they're
right behind me.

Okay.

[gun taps]

Come sit down.

[suspenseful music]

Derek I'm sorry, counseling

is supposed to be confidential.

I kept telling
you about talking

to those people at
church, didn't I?

I'm not pressing charges.

You know, I wouldn't do that.

[Derek chuckles]

You are so fucking stupid.

Bet you thought you
could run your ass

all through that church,
talking our business

and that woman wouldn't run

and tell the first
person she ran into?

She wasn't supposed to.

Yet here we are.

Derek.

It's fine.

Really, it's okay.

[suspenseful music]

[Derek kisses]

Don't worry about it.

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic chord]
[Tanya cries out]

[dramatic music]

Why don't you tell
me about the wound?

I found out that Ms.
Jeffries had called in a report

on Derek for holding
his gun to my head.

I talk with my Sergeant
about the other accusation

and I felt like
Tanya and I needed

to spend some quality
time together.

Sometimes I got loud, sarcastic,
and I knew he hated that.

And actually she
verbally attacks me.

Most times he reminded me of
why I fell in love with him.

I love my wife.

Usually he works late Fridays.

At least that's what
he said he was doing.

I was just sitting there
watching TV on the sofa.

She comes in, I ask
her to sit next to me.

I wasn't expecting
him to be there.

I walked in and he was
sitting in the dark drinking.

I wasn't drunk,
just a little buzzed.

He had one of his guns out.

She starts going off about
the girls at the church

gossiping about our marriage
and how upset she was.

He kissed me on my forehead
and he got up and walked away.

I told her not
to worry about it.

He stopped behind me.

I heard a crack.

I even gave her a kiss.

I was afraid he
was going to kill me.

I think Mrs.
Anderson's injuries

will corroborate her story

as well as Mrs.
Anderson's own testimony.

Tanya's testifying against me?

She would never do that.

People versus Derek Anderson,

one count assault
with a deadly weapon.

How do you plead?

Not guilty your honor.

[Judge] And for bail?

People request remand,
given the violence

of the repeated attacks.

Your honor, Mr. Anderson
is a first time offender

with a daughter, he's
not a flight risk.

Agreed.

I'll ask just once
more, Mr. Maddox,

do you have a reasonable
suggestion for bail?

People ask that bail
will be set at $500,000.

Your honor, the
most dangerous time

in a relationship marred
by domestic violence

is when the victim
tries to leave.

Mortality is 500
times more likely.

Mr. Maddox, do
not use my courtroom

for your personal
hot button topics.

You want us to believe

that your client has
been abused for years

but she's not press charges
even one time until now?

The only thing I know
about the defendant

is what's on this page.

His Sergeant backs him, your
client's pastor backs him.

And you want me to believe

that officer Anderson
is a monster.

I can't do that today.

Save your case for trial.

The defendant will be released
on his own recognizance.

[crowd chatters]

[gavel bangs]
Quiet!

Your honor, the people
request an order of protection

and that the defendant
surrender, all weapons.

[Judge] So ordered.

Sierra and Frankie ran past

their father to open the door,

letting wonderful smells of
sweet potato pies, glazed ham.

What are you doing here?

[dramatic music]

♪ Footsteps in the night. ♪

[Derek] Where else
would I be, sweet pea?

Mommy said you were visiting
somewhere else for a while.

Well.

I cut my vacation short,

so I could be here
with the two of you.

♪ Moon on the rise ♪

♪ You say your last good night ♪

Why don't you run
upstairs so mommy

and I can have a
little time together?

On the count of three okay?

One, two, three, go.

Is that okay, mom?

When did you start asking
your momma's permission

after I told you
to do something?

I said get your behind
up those stairs.

Yes sir.

[dramatic music]

The judge said you can't
be within 200 feet of me.

You can't be here.

[dramatic music]

Yet here I am.

[dramatic music]

Are you running from me?

[dramatic music]

You remember when I
bought this piano?

When I taught you how to play?

That was a long time ago.

But you remember?

Hey.

[dramatic music]

We can get back there.

I think maybe we just
need a little time apart.

I'll never touch you again

in any way that you don't want.

Tanya, we could be happy.

Don't you trust me?

[dramatic music]

What do I need to do?

Nothing.

[Derek] Nothing?

There's nothing you can do.

Don't, don't.

Don't say that.

Okay?

[dramatic music]

I loved you with everything
I have to love someone with.

But now...

[Derek] Now?

There's just nothing left.

If you would've
just been there for me

none of this would be happening.

No fights, the baby.

Wait, you're blaming
your affair on me?

Yes, it's your fault.

Get out of my house.

This is my damn house.

I hope they lock your ass up.

[hand smacks]

[dramatic music]
[Tanya crying out]

No!

[Tanya choking]
[dramatic music]

Can't even breath without me.

I bet you're praying to God
you dead, I am your God.

I can give life.

[Tanya gasping]

Or I can take it.

[Tanya choking]

Stop!

Let my mama go, let her go!

Get your hands off of her!

[Faith screams]

Let me go!

Mama!

What are you doing here?

Gonna work it out.

In the middle of the night?

You need to leave.

No, this is still my house

and in the eyes of God,
you are still, my wife.

Get out Michael.

I mean it.

You said that you
would die for me.

Remember that, what
happened to that?

If you're not gonna leave,

I don't mind
sleeping else where.

Well, our son deserves
better than this Liz.

You're a better
mother than this.

Don't you dare question
the way I parent.

Let's go take a
trip, me and you,

let's go back to one more year,

just a year ago when
ever we went, hey stop.

Get your hands off me.

Stop.

- Get your hands off me!
- You are still my wife!

Stop, Michael!

And for this reason, a
husband will leave his mother

and father, and
unite with his wife.

Michael, let go, let go of me.

And they will
unite in the flesh.

[dramatic music]

You will never do
that to me again.

Never!

[dramatic music]

Come here Liz.

I need help!

No, don't do this.

[Elizabeth] My
husband is, I need help!

It's okay, shh shut up,
they're gonna hear you.

[dramatic music]

Shh, shh, shh.

Yes baby, just, just,
why don't we just sit back

and enjoy the ride, okay?

[Faith] Are we
running away from daddy?

Is daddy a monster?

No baby, your daddy
is not a monster.

Okay, he's just...

[phone ringing]

Oh no.

Is that him?

[phone ringing]
[dramatic music]

[Derek] Where are
you going Tanya?

[dramatic music]

[Tanya] What do
you want Derek?

[Derek] You can't
get rid of me.

Turn around and go home.

No.

Why can't you just
leave me alone?

[Derek] You can't leave me.

Last warning.

Our daughter is in the car.

[suspenseful music]

Sit flat, and buckle
your seatbelt.

[suspenseful music]
[engine rumbling]

[gun fires]
[glass shatters]

What is wrong with you?

[dramatic music]

[Faith] Mommy!

[Tanya screams]

[cars crashing]
