00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:13,481
*

00:00:27,061 --> 00:00:41,942
*

3
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:56,924
*

4
00:00:56,924 --> 00:01:01,962
*

5
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:10,871
*

6
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:27,655
Hey, Lisa.

7
00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:32,660
How you doin'?

8
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:35,396
Can I ask you a question
real quick?

9
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:38,532
Are your new neighbors
real nice?

10
00:01:47,575 --> 00:01:49,410
Hi.

11
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,512
I don't want
to invade your privacy...

12
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:52,180
-Mm-hm.
...but my name

13
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:54,114
is Cheryl Sanford.

14
00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:55,383
I grew up in this house.

15
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,854
I lived here my whole life.

16
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:01,755
Last couple weeks,

17
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:03,657
I've been meeting
a lot of neighbors,

18
00:02:03,691 --> 00:02:04,825
and her name comes up a lot,

19
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:06,126
I think a lot of people
remember you.

20
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,695
That's sweet.

21
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:09,530
'Cause they were good people,
they are--

22
00:02:09,563 --> 00:02:11,165
you have some--
you have some good people.

23
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:16,704
You know, having Mom,

24
00:02:16,737 --> 00:02:20,140
seeing her washing dishes,
you know.

25
00:02:20,174 --> 00:02:24,212
Cookin' dinner, you know.

26
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:25,713
You know.

27
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,681
But I thought I was
gonna get a chance

28
00:02:27,715 --> 00:02:31,151
to be a grandma like that too.

29
00:02:31,185 --> 00:02:33,153
You never know.

30
00:02:33,187 --> 00:02:35,656
Life is funny, it is.

31
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:40,728
*

32
00:02:40,761 --> 00:02:43,631
You know, mm...

33
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:45,699
*

34
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:51,772
*

35
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:58,045
My actions caused
a chain reaction

36
00:02:58,078 --> 00:03:02,115
and put things in motion
that should not have been.

37
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:07,621
*

38
00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:10,658
Everything that was
about to take place

39
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:13,794
changed in one night.

40
00:03:16,664 --> 00:03:21,201
*

41
00:03:23,237 --> 00:03:29,843
*

42
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,779
He loved his family,

43
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:35,816
he would do anything
for his family.

44
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:38,085
And I just wish
that I coulda told him

45
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,888
that I love him,
'cause I do love him.

46
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:52,099
*

47
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:56,770
-Put it on his head, shawty!
-Hey, you gonna take that?

48
00:03:56,804 --> 00:03:59,239
-Hey!
-Run it, run it, run it!

49
00:03:59,273 --> 00:04:03,611
-No, you got the ball...
-I missed it!

50
00:04:03,644 --> 00:04:04,745
-Oh my...
-You missed!

51
00:04:04,778 --> 00:04:08,616
Hey. Hey!

52
00:04:08,649 --> 00:04:10,718
What'd I tell you?

53
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:11,985
What'd I tell you?

54
00:04:12,019 --> 00:04:14,788
What'd I tell you?
Ball, please.

55
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:22,262
What y'all got?

56
00:04:22,296 --> 00:04:24,332
What y'all got?

57
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:27,167
-Fourteen.
-Him and you. Come on.

58
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,637
-And me!
-Fourteen now!

59
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:30,804
Fourteen now,
we gotta do something!

60
00:04:30,838 --> 00:04:31,872
Get your man, Tim,
get your man,

61
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,941
keep it tight!

62
00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:35,309
Damn!

63
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,746
Now that's 15, man.

64
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:44,718
*

65
00:04:44,752 --> 00:04:45,786
No Tim Hardaway.

66
00:04:45,819 --> 00:04:48,055
*

67
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:50,824
* But he never even...

68
00:04:50,858 --> 00:04:52,225
Put it up, baby!

69
00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:53,894
*

70
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:56,930
-Come on, girls.
-Lemme see that.

71
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:58,699
It's my turn,
it's still my turn.

72
00:04:58,732 --> 00:05:01,301
*

73
00:05:15,716 --> 00:05:22,356
*

74
00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:40,207
*

75
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,341
*

76
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:47,781
My family and I
are from Washington, DC.

77
00:05:47,815 --> 00:05:51,385
*

78
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:53,353
In the summer of 1999,

79
00:05:53,387 --> 00:05:55,288
we lived on Kentucky Avenue.

80
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:59,092
*

81
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:01,929
We had to move around a lot
before that.

82
00:06:01,962 --> 00:06:04,832
*

83
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,167
But eventually,
we lucked up

84
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,869
and came into
a very good situation

85
00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:10,303
for all of us.

86
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:20,080
*

87
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,883
My name is Cheryl,
C-H-E-R-Y-L,

88
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:29,957
Denice Catherine Cashwell
Alizea Santiago Sanford.

89
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,793
That's my name.

90
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:34,161
Cashwell is my maiden name;

91
00:06:34,194 --> 00:06:35,796
Catherine is
my confirmation name;

92
00:06:35,829 --> 00:06:36,664
Denice is my middle name,

93
00:06:40,868 --> 00:06:42,202
One of her daughters
or something?

94
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:47,107
-Yeah? 'Scuse me?
-Look, this thing says--

95
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:51,945
this thing says
16 problems--I mean...

96
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:53,847
-It says...
-...32 problems,

97
00:06:53,881 --> 00:06:55,983
-but I only see 16.
-"...math book, page 250,

98
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,285
first 32 problems,

99
00:06:58,318 --> 00:07:01,722
reading handout
and spelling definitions."

100
00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:05,225
The first 32 problems
on page 250.

101
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:06,894
Sixteen and sixteen,
that's thirty-two.

102
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:09,863
You gotta do these and these.

103
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:11,431
Yeah.

104
00:07:11,465 --> 00:07:14,768
I got a lot of homework.

105
00:07:14,802 --> 00:07:17,838
Uh, this is actually
my video,

106
00:07:17,871 --> 00:07:20,474
and this is the only reason
I host this show, so...

107
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:32,820
Smurf, that's my firstborn son.

108
00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:34,922
Akil James Sanford.

109
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:37,825
He was born 11/24/83.

110
00:07:37,858 --> 00:07:40,327
I have Denice Shamel Durant,

111
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,897
and she was born
August the 20th, 1987.

112
00:07:43,931 --> 00:07:46,867
And then I have
Emmanuel Durant Jr.,

113
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,837
and he was born
January the 14th, 1990.

114
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:51,539
"Akil" means
"to think with reason."

115
00:07:51,572 --> 00:07:54,207
"Denice" means "dear one,"

116
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:56,076
and "Emmanuel" means
"child of God."

117
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:19,600
-Smurf!
-What?

118
00:08:19,633 --> 00:08:21,301
Come here!

119
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:25,038
Look.

120
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:33,013
You could record yourself.

121
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:33,614
How'd you do that, man?

122
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:40,020
That make it better.

123
00:08:41,755 --> 00:08:43,490
Yeah, that's it right there.

124
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:46,794
Oh.

125
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:50,731
My name is Emmanuel, I'm nine.

126
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:53,433
My subject is
math and reading,

127
00:08:53,466 --> 00:08:55,502
English, social studies,

128
00:08:55,535 --> 00:09:00,741
PE, and talking on the phone.

129
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:04,945
Playing basketball,
and I'm a superstar.

130
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:07,114
Yeah!

131
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:11,585
Mm...and my other favorite thing
is...

132
00:09:11,619 --> 00:09:15,455
is just eatin' good food,
ah!

133
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:22,029
*

134
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:34,808
Man, get that outta
my face, man!

135
00:09:34,842 --> 00:09:37,611
My brother, he's not in school.

136
00:09:37,645 --> 00:09:39,947
I'm in school,
I'm doing fine.

137
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:42,515
Denice, she's in school,
she's doing fine,

138
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:44,685
but she always skip
first period.

139
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:48,789
Turn it upside down...
cheese!

140
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:50,390
And that's a picture of

141
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,393
my brother, my sister, and me.

142
00:10:01,534 --> 00:10:04,137
She's the one
that spoiled me.

143
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:12,780
You know who she is?

144
00:10:12,813 --> 00:10:13,647
I mean, she is gorgeous.

145
00:10:16,717 --> 00:10:18,686
-I think she's so pretty.
-That's you.

146
00:10:18,719 --> 00:10:20,153
That's not me!

147
00:10:20,187 --> 00:10:22,856
That's you!

148
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:26,059
'Cause you got that shirt
in your closet.

149
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:30,731
I was raised
in Northeast Washington,

150
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:33,000
in a very nice part
of Washington.

151
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:35,502
Middle class,
lower middle class, whatever,

152
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:36,937
government worker family.

153
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:38,505
I went to private school.

154
00:10:38,538 --> 00:10:39,940
I went to an elite junior high,

155
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:43,576
which was like
an uppity school called Gordon.

156
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:10,537
I'm on my way now.

157
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:15,876
*

158
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:18,245
I always dreamed
of being a movie star

159
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:20,781
or an actress, a model,
entertainer.

160
00:11:20,814 --> 00:11:24,617
*

161
00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:26,553
My mother kept telling me
I was gonna be a teacher,

162
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:27,988
but in my mind,

163
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,123
I was gonna be
a Marilyn Monroe.

164
00:11:30,157 --> 00:11:32,259
*

165
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:34,561
But unfortunately,

166
00:11:34,594 --> 00:11:35,863
life had different plans for me.

167
00:11:35,896 --> 00:11:41,769
*

168
00:12:02,655 --> 00:12:04,524
They're books
that you can read.

169
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:06,794
Ooh! Y'all say thank you?

170
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,661
-Thank you, Granddaddy.
-Thank you, Granddaddy.

171
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:17,838
Can you see us?

172
00:12:17,871 --> 00:12:19,973
Hi!

173
00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:21,708
What is the strangest
set of breasts

174
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,543
you've ever seen
on this beach?

175
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,815
*

176
00:12:27,848 --> 00:12:30,117
-I don't know.
-He's at a loss for words.

177
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:32,585
Okay, lemme ask you
the biggest that you've seen.

178
00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:35,122
Was it that double-D
that you were talkin' about?

179
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:36,824
- Yeah, these old.
- But were they down

180
00:12:36,857 --> 00:12:37,858
or did they have
a little bit of firmness

181
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:39,726
-to 'em?
-Nah, no firmness,

182
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,261
you see some nasty-ass
watermelons out here.

183
00:12:41,294 --> 00:12:42,695
So that's not just me, though,

184
00:12:42,729 --> 00:12:44,031
you don't want
nasty watermelons.

185
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:46,633
I feel you on that, man,
can't be mad at you.

186
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,802
A big, big, big breast man.

187
00:12:48,836 --> 00:12:50,971
She fine as shit.

188
00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:53,706
That's the only reason
why I gave her the 8.

189
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:56,977
'Cause she looks all good.

190
00:12:57,010 --> 00:13:00,080
-I put 8?
-I can see about Chantelle

191
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,883
-of being the 8.
-I ain't fuck Chantelle.

192
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:05,152
I ain't fuck Chantelle,
I ain't fuck Chantelle.

193
00:13:05,185 --> 00:13:07,587
I ain't fucking girls
out front, you know?

194
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,356
But I ain't fuckin' her,
you ain't never seen her.

195
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:12,225
It would be an 8 or nah,
I gotta--

196
00:13:12,259 --> 00:13:15,762
I gotta cross that out,
'cause she ugly.

197
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,297
The six and a half.

198
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:21,568
*

199
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:34,982
*

200
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:38,919
I never knew it was that hard
to raise children.

201
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:41,121
But then, I came up
with a mom and a dad,

202
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:43,190
and they're coming up
with a single parent.

203
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:44,757
So it's a big difference,
I guess.

204
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:46,693
I don't know.

205
00:13:49,362 --> 00:13:55,135
*

206
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:57,971
Here you go, right here.

207
00:13:58,005 --> 00:14:00,040
I met his, like,
sisters and cousins.

208
00:14:00,073 --> 00:14:02,742
I met his side
of my family or whatever,

209
00:14:02,775 --> 00:14:05,012
and they say I act like him
and I resemble him and stuff.

210
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:07,881
*

211
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:19,826
But just like
same thing happened

212
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,895
and his father got killed, too.

213
00:14:21,929 --> 00:14:25,999
I can't make--
it make me sad, but I wasn't...

214
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:27,767
I can see if it happened to me

215
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,835
when I was old enough
to understand,

216
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:30,437
but I wasn't, so.

217
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:31,304
I only hear
what my mother told me,

218
00:14:33,941 --> 00:14:36,643
*

219
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:44,817
In the kitchen, it's a big--

220
00:14:44,851 --> 00:14:48,855
it's a big argument goin' on
with a lot of smoke.

221
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:52,825
Woo! Look at this kitchen.

222
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,794
Woo!

223
00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:56,829
Look at this kitchen.

224
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:58,999
*

225
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:00,968
Joe is somewhat like me,

226
00:15:01,001 --> 00:15:04,037
someone that had experienced
a lot of pain in his life,

227
00:15:04,071 --> 00:15:07,874
and I really thought
that him and I were going to

228
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:12,845
live the life that him and I
both thought was correct.

229
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:14,714
What's your favorite thing?

230
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:23,790
And I was searching for someone
to be a father figure

231
00:15:23,823 --> 00:15:26,059
for my children.

232
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:41,874
*

233
00:15:45,212 --> 00:15:46,879
Don't come up here
with that camera.

234
00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:49,249
Take--go back downstairs.

235
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:52,719
Why is you--go back down--
I'm gonna throw somethin'.

236
00:15:55,088 --> 00:15:56,423
Go back downstairs.

237
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,230
Who is you talking to?

238
00:16:03,263 --> 00:16:06,866
Oh. You better be talking
to her and not me.

239
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:09,469
If you was talkin' to me,
you woulda got straight slapped.

240
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,843
No, your ass goin' home,
Shayna.

241
00:16:16,876 --> 00:16:18,878
Your ass needs to go home.

242
00:16:26,253 --> 00:16:29,056
Shayna, who we have
homework from?

243
00:16:42,535 --> 00:16:45,805
It's hard

244
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,541
knowing that they know

245
00:16:48,575 --> 00:16:51,944
what she does, you know?

246
00:16:51,978 --> 00:16:55,082
I wanna be the difference
in her life.

247
00:16:55,115 --> 00:17:00,053
I wanna be the reason
for her to get herself together.

248
00:17:00,087 --> 00:17:01,588
And it's not her fault,
you know?

249
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:03,290
I do fucked-up shit.

250
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:06,126
I'm still on drugs, uh,
I still drink,

251
00:17:06,159 --> 00:17:09,296
I still do things
I'm not supposed to do.

252
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:10,963
But I thought Cheryl
was my answer.

253
00:17:27,614 --> 00:17:33,453
*

254
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:41,394
It's just gonna make you
just get out the trouble,

255
00:17:41,428 --> 00:17:43,896
make you get out--
it's gonna make you drop out,

256
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:46,799
make you a failure and stuff

257
00:17:46,833 --> 00:17:48,568
and you don't wanna
be a failure.

258
00:17:48,601 --> 00:17:51,771
You wanna go to college
and get you a great job,

259
00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:55,375
making 400 or 600 or 1,000
or, like,

260
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:59,646
a million dollars
every week or every month.

261
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:03,416
I'll be having me two grand
probably every week

262
00:18:03,450 --> 00:18:04,584
or every month.

263
00:18:04,617 --> 00:18:06,853
I'll be living in me a castle.

264
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:09,356
They'll be knocking on my door
for food.

265
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:10,056
-Go on.
-What's the problem?

266
00:18:15,495 --> 00:18:17,597
Get away from--
get away from me,

267
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:19,399
I don't want you to hold me!

268
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,767
-I'm gonna hold you.
-And I don't want you to hold me

269
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,002
and I don't need you
to hold me!

270
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:24,837
Joe, leave me alone.

271
00:18:24,871 --> 00:18:26,806
-Just calm down.
-Just leave me alone!

272
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:28,808
-Just calm down.
-Didn't I say leave me alone?

273
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:31,478
I just want you to calm down.

274
00:18:31,511 --> 00:18:33,146
A'ight?
Just give me ten seconds,

275
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:35,615
just count to ten.

276
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:37,617
Joe, I told you.

277
00:18:37,650 --> 00:18:40,620
I don't need you around, okay?

278
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:41,954
-And I meant that.
-She don't understand

279
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:45,091
-somebody loves her.
-You love me?

280
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:45,525
You love me?

281
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:47,694
on the steps?

282
00:18:49,596 --> 00:18:50,830
a minute ago, right?

283
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,565
-You love me.
-I didn't hit you.

284
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:56,669
Well, you ain't going to.

285
00:18:56,703 --> 00:18:59,572
-You gonna learn something...
-Film that knife in her hands...

286
00:18:59,606 --> 00:19:01,741
-Yeah, film it, film it.
-...please, get it on film.

287
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:03,743
'Cause I'm gon' fucking
cut your goddamned throat.

288
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:06,679
That's what's gon' happen.

289
00:19:06,713 --> 00:19:07,914
Either you gonna
grow the fuck up

290
00:19:07,947 --> 00:19:10,583
and act like you're 37,
or you--you can--

291
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:12,552
you can get it on tape.

292
00:19:12,585 --> 00:19:16,856
I got a scar in my head
and papers at the hospital.

293
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:19,892
The kids know that
we're not living right.

294
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:22,695
We--what I'm saying--
we're not livin' right.

295
00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:24,497
'Cause I'm a part of this,

296
00:19:24,531 --> 00:19:26,999
because I condone it.

297
00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:30,670
If I'm not part of the answer,
I'm part of the problem.

298
00:19:34,073 --> 00:19:44,150
*

299
00:19:48,755 --> 00:19:51,224
Okay. I'm gonna let you out.

300
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:10,543
I don't understand, man.

301
00:20:10,577 --> 00:20:16,983
*

302
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:20,119
She's a stupid motherfucker
sometimes.

303
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:34,601
*

304
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,469
I'm lazy, man,.

305
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:43,610
Aww, you lie like shit, dog,
you're a liar.

306
00:20:43,643 --> 00:20:46,579
-Lie about what? Cleanin'?
-Knife, watch the knife.

307
00:20:46,613 --> 00:20:48,014
Cleanin'?

308
00:20:51,684 --> 00:20:55,021
*

309
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:56,789
That's what I'm saying...

310
00:20:56,823 --> 00:20:58,691
,
start all over.

311
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:17,544
At five years old,

312
00:21:17,577 --> 00:21:20,847
I started trying to teach Smurf
not to do drugs.

313
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,684
And then, when he turned
around 15,

314
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:26,953
he wanted to drop out of school,
which he did,

315
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:31,123
and he wanted
to get into the life.

316
00:21:31,157 --> 00:21:33,693
And I can't blame Smurf
for being in the life,

317
00:21:33,726 --> 00:21:35,795
because I exposed the life
to him.

318
00:21:35,828 --> 00:21:40,232
*

319
00:22:09,128 --> 00:22:12,365
-Damn, punk, nice push-off.
-I pushed you off?

320
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:15,034
I just jumped in the way.

321
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:29,682
-Catch him, yo.
-What?

322
00:22:29,716 --> 00:22:31,851
Wait, man, I seen him...

323
00:22:35,822 --> 00:22:37,590
I don't have nothin'!

324
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:59,946
*

325
00:22:59,979 --> 00:23:03,883
*

326
00:23:06,018 --> 00:23:08,821
Help! Help!

327
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,397
Help! Help! Help! Help!

328
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:31,377
*

329
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,379
Yeah!

330
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:37,784
*

331
00:23:37,817 --> 00:23:38,618
Hi, everybody, thank you
for joining us.

332
00:23:38,651 --> 00:23:39,686
We're gonna start
with the latest

333
00:23:39,719 --> 00:23:41,020
from Southeast DC,

334
00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:42,955
because that's where
one man is dead

335
00:23:42,989 --> 00:23:46,092
and two others injured
following gunfire overnight,

336
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:47,827
and why neighbors are upset
with the crime rate as well.

337
00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:49,696
Kevin.

338
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:26,092
*

339
00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:26,926
*

340
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:29,796
Hope. Hope?

341
00:25:29,829 --> 00:25:31,798
What about hope?

342
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:35,067
Hope is real,
hope is alive.

343
00:25:35,101 --> 00:25:37,904
We have hope;
everyone has hope.

344
00:25:37,937 --> 00:25:42,274
I mean, that's what keeps
this world going, functioning.

345
00:25:42,308 --> 00:25:44,310
Because, you know, like,
you got things that get you down

346
00:25:44,343 --> 00:25:46,512
every day, and you got
a lot of problems,

347
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:47,079
you got a lot of pressure,

348
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:51,918
you got a lot of
dysfunctional things happen.

349
00:25:51,951 --> 00:25:54,954
But there's hope for tomorrow,
there's hope for better.

350
00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:56,522
That's all we got.

351
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:58,057
We know.

352
00:25:58,090 --> 00:25:59,225
As long as we keep that alive,

353
00:25:59,258 --> 00:26:00,827
as long as we keep
hoping and praying,

354
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:02,094
it works.

355
00:26:02,128 --> 00:26:06,899
You know, that's my thought.

356
00:26:06,933 --> 00:26:08,467
I believe in hope.

357
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:18,310
*

358
00:26:26,152 --> 00:26:31,457
*

359
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:35,795
* Many say that I'm too young

360
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:42,869
* To let you know just where
I'm coming from, yeah *

361
00:26:42,902 --> 00:26:44,937
* But you will see...

362
00:26:44,971 --> 00:26:47,506
When we first came here,
they were surprised.

363
00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:48,975
It was like,
"There's nothing to do

364
00:26:49,008 --> 00:26:50,677
in this neighborhood!"

365
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:52,511
And I'm like, "Well,
there's lots of things to do,"

366
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:53,846
you know?

367
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,582
You can read, you know?

368
00:26:56,615 --> 00:27:00,552
They have a rec center,
there's lots of things to do.

369
00:27:00,586 --> 00:27:02,722
* ...of ghetto life

370
00:27:02,755 --> 00:27:06,659
* Everyone is so uptight,
yeah, yeah *

371
00:27:06,693 --> 00:27:11,731
* Nothing's wrong,
it's alright, my man *

372
00:27:11,764 --> 00:27:13,632
I just like the area,

373
00:27:13,666 --> 00:27:16,803
it's peaceful and quiet
and, you know,

374
00:27:16,836 --> 00:27:19,806
there wasn't anyone
on the corners, you know,

375
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:22,942
so I'm happy with it.

376
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:26,612
* Givin' him something
he can feel *

377
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:29,916
* Giving him, giving him,
giving him, giving him *

378
00:27:46,465 --> 00:27:47,599
Whoo!

379
00:28:28,941 --> 00:28:30,777
It is not fun cooking.

380
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:32,711
It really isn't.

381
00:28:56,602 --> 00:28:57,804
That is so hot.

382
00:29:04,643 --> 00:29:06,946
Now that I have a child,
it's so different.

383
00:29:06,979 --> 00:29:09,115
There's no more just
getting up and leaving

384
00:29:09,148 --> 00:29:11,250
and going to do what I want.

385
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:12,952
'Cause I have to find
babysitters

386
00:29:12,985 --> 00:29:14,620
and all types of that stuff.

387
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:18,090
It's the same,
just a little bit different.

388
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:20,126
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I know I didn't just

389
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:21,593
make this for nothing.

390
00:29:21,627 --> 00:29:22,929
You better eat this,
come here.

391
00:29:22,962 --> 00:29:24,263
Look, you can't do it yourself.

392
00:29:24,296 --> 00:29:27,533
Look, you gonna make
a big, big mess, oh.

393
00:29:27,566 --> 00:29:29,101
Come sit at the table,
I knew that's what it was.

394
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:32,805
You was really thinking
you a big boy now.

395
00:29:43,682 --> 00:29:45,818
-What are you doing?
-Myself.

396
00:29:49,221 --> 00:29:51,257
*

397
00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:53,259
When Justin was first born,

398
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:55,962
Emmanuel, he adopted him
as his own.

399
00:29:55,995 --> 00:29:57,897
That was his child.

400
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:04,303
Being that Justin's father
doesn't help him

401
00:30:04,336 --> 00:30:06,072
or doesn't be in his life,

402
00:30:06,105 --> 00:30:08,640
Emmanuel, he's a very good
positive role model

403
00:30:08,674 --> 00:30:13,579
and a father figure to Justin.

404
00:30:13,612 --> 00:30:15,247
You driving us?

405
00:30:18,684 --> 00:30:21,187
Oh, damn, y'all gotta
get in the car.

406
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:22,754
You scared?

407
00:30:22,788 --> 00:30:24,056
I ain't about to hold you!

408
00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:25,858
Boy, I am not gonna
up and hold you,

409
00:30:25,892 --> 00:30:27,726
that is not gonna work.

410
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:29,761
Uh-uh.

411
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,663
Uh-uh, I can't do it!

412
00:30:31,697 --> 00:30:33,032
Come on,
let's go in the house.

413
00:30:33,065 --> 00:30:34,666
'Cause you're going
in the house, come on.

414
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:36,335
Let's walk in the house,
come on, go get Mamaw.

415
00:30:53,719 --> 00:30:55,888
Emmanuel really
amazed everybody,

416
00:30:55,922 --> 00:30:57,689
'cause he got good grades.

417
00:30:57,723 --> 00:31:00,726
Especially with getting
the scholarship.

418
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,128
But the thing that did it,

419
00:31:02,161 --> 00:31:04,863
he met this girl
that goes to John Carroll,

420
00:31:04,897 --> 00:31:06,098
to private school,

421
00:31:06,132 --> 00:31:07,934
and he's in love with her.

422
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:10,036
And so,
she's no-nonsense.

423
00:31:10,069 --> 00:31:14,106
She's about this big,
she weighs about 85 pounds!

424
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:15,841
Carmen,
she's a sweet girl.

425
00:31:19,811 --> 00:31:22,982
This is Carmen Lolita
Matthews Payne,

426
00:31:23,015 --> 00:31:24,716
this is Emmanuel's future wife,

427
00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:26,285
they're gonna get married
and have ugly little

428
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:28,820
big-head rodents.

429
00:31:28,854 --> 00:31:31,290
Why do you like Emmanuel?

430
00:31:31,323 --> 00:31:32,658
'Cause he's sweet.

431
00:31:34,793 --> 00:31:35,827
I don't know about
he's sweet to his family,

432
00:31:35,861 --> 00:31:36,929
but he's nice to me.

433
00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:46,305
*

434
00:31:46,338 --> 00:31:48,007
-Justin!
-Get over here.

435
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,944
Get over here.
Get over here.

436
00:31:51,978 --> 00:31:53,312
Get over here.

437
00:31:53,345 --> 00:31:54,746
Come here.

438
00:31:54,780 --> 00:31:57,449
*

439
00:31:57,483 --> 00:31:58,684
Emmanuel!

440
00:31:58,717 --> 00:31:59,851
How did we meet?

441
00:32:07,726 --> 00:32:09,962
He sent me a message
or something like that.

442
00:32:09,996 --> 00:32:12,031
Don't laugh.

443
00:32:12,064 --> 00:32:13,099
And then people be like,

444
00:32:13,132 --> 00:32:15,434
"You know, you be getting
killed and kidnapped,"

445
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:17,970
so I was like, "I hope not,"
I was scared.

446
00:32:18,004 --> 00:32:19,838
He looked a little crazy.

447
00:32:19,871 --> 00:32:21,173
My mother always tellin' me,

448
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:22,941
"Don't be talking to nobody
on Myspace!"

449
00:32:22,975 --> 00:32:25,177
But, you know,
it's a place for friends!

450
00:32:25,211 --> 00:32:26,012
That's what it says:

451
00:32:28,847 --> 00:32:33,852
*

452
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:47,033
-He do?
-Yeah!

453
00:32:47,066 --> 00:32:48,434
Oh.

454
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:50,336
I didn't know that.

455
00:32:50,369 --> 00:32:55,874
*

456
00:33:08,387 --> 00:33:10,889
Smurf has two children.

457
00:33:10,922 --> 00:33:13,892
Akil Jr.'s birthday is 3/19

458
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:19,098
and Takel was born 9/15.

459
00:33:19,131 --> 00:33:22,934
Here we go.

460
00:33:42,121 --> 00:33:43,489
We wanna be comfortable

461
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,357
and our conditions
is uncomfortable,

462
00:33:45,391 --> 00:33:48,026
and when you uncomfortable,
you make bad decisions.

463
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:49,861
So that's what it is.

464
00:33:49,895 --> 00:33:52,131
These streets, man,
they vicious.

465
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:54,433
You know what they do?
They soak your ass up.

466
00:33:59,605 --> 00:34:04,810
I always buy something,
don't say anything.

467
00:34:04,843 --> 00:34:06,912
-I don't do nothing for myself?
-Nope.

468
00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:08,514
Look, he just bought hisself
his first pair of shoes

469
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:11,283
probably in like five years.

470
00:34:11,317 --> 00:34:13,952
Shit! He ain't never bought
hisself no pair of shoes.

471
00:34:13,985 --> 00:34:16,255
I been home since '07,
home since '02.

472
00:34:16,288 --> 00:34:18,090
Since I been home,
he never--

473
00:34:18,124 --> 00:34:20,892
'07, '06--I mean,
'07, '08, '09.

474
00:34:20,926 --> 00:34:22,328
Since I been home
for two years,

475
00:34:22,361 --> 00:34:24,130
I just seen him buy
his first pair of shoes.

476
00:34:24,163 --> 00:34:26,132
-Now, he bought some Nikes...
-Air Force 1s.

477
00:34:26,165 --> 00:34:28,134
-Them little...
-Some Jordans.

478
00:34:28,167 --> 00:34:30,836
That's my style.

479
00:34:36,375 --> 00:34:38,009
Smurf, I pray for him,

480
00:34:38,043 --> 00:34:40,546
'cause he's out
gang-bangin' for real.

481
00:34:40,579 --> 00:34:42,348
Standin' on a corner,
you know,

482
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:44,082
trying to sell drugs,

483
00:34:44,116 --> 00:34:46,418
and so, things can happen.

484
00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:56,428
He go to work,
he come back home.

485
00:34:56,462 --> 00:34:59,565
He's content to be in the house.

486
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:02,301
He kinda likes
to be with his girl

487
00:35:02,334 --> 00:35:07,373
and attend functions that are
not on that wild side.

488
00:35:07,406 --> 00:35:08,840
He doesn't drink,
he doesn't smoke,

489
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:12,878
He's pretty cool.

490
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,653
*

491
00:35:21,687 --> 00:35:23,021
"In the face of many challenges

492
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:24,890
that students face
in high school,

493
00:35:24,923 --> 00:35:27,626
today, you have reached one of
the most important milestones

494
00:35:27,659 --> 00:35:29,661
of your way
to higher achievement.

00:35:29,695 --> 00:35:31,697
Congratulations.

496
00:35:31,730 --> 00:35:34,533
I hope that you are deeply
proud of this accomplishment

497
00:35:34,566 --> 00:35:36,802
and that you use it to reach
even higher goals for yourself

498

*

500
00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:47,979
Go to trade school,
become a firefighter right now.

501
00:35:48,013 --> 00:35:49,415
All right.

502
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:56,655
I am.

503
00:35:56,688 --> 00:35:57,556
-I ain't gon' be like--
-His friend's staying

504
00:36:00,526 --> 00:36:02,694
so she stays
on top of him.

506
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:11,002
He was proud.

507
00:36:11,036 --> 00:36:12,871
It's not every day
your grandson shows you

508
00:36:12,904 --> 00:36:14,706
diplomas and stuff.

509
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:19,010
It was--every kid don't
walk across the stage.

510
00:36:19,044 --> 00:36:21,480
July 11th, I graduated from

511
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:24,216
Theodore Roosevelt
Senior High School at what,

512
00:36:24,250 --> 00:36:26,552
I think, 6:00,
7:00 at night?

513
00:36:26,585 --> 00:36:29,621
And then I got a scholarship
from Kappa Foundation.

514
00:36:32,758 --> 00:36:35,761
Here you go, my school picture
right here for cap and gown.

515
00:36:35,794 --> 00:36:37,128
It felt good.

516
00:36:47,773 --> 00:36:50,709
Instead of me, you know,
focusing on one thing,

517
00:36:50,742 --> 00:36:57,048
I let greed get in the way
of what was important.

518
00:36:57,082 --> 00:37:00,619
I made a vow, oh,
not less than three months ago,

519
00:37:00,652 --> 00:37:02,721
two months ago, I told God
I would never pawn it again

520
00:37:02,754 --> 00:37:03,622
for that.

521
00:37:06,858 --> 00:37:08,894
to get money for drugs, okay.

522
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:10,962
And I did that, okay?

523
00:37:10,996 --> 00:37:12,964
Well--yeah, I did that.

524
00:37:12,998 --> 00:37:15,667
And being too high
or under the influence,

525
00:37:15,701 --> 00:37:18,504
I don't know, I messed it up,
I messed it up.

526
00:37:18,537 --> 00:37:20,272
'Cause I knew I couldn't
be ready in time.

527
00:37:20,306 --> 00:37:23,509
And I know it hurt him,
I know it hurt him.

528
00:37:23,542 --> 00:37:26,011
Because he really had
accomplished something.

529
00:37:26,044 --> 00:37:30,215
But that's the kinda things
that a person does

530
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:33,585
that messes their children up,
you know?

531
00:37:33,619 --> 00:37:39,825
*

532
00:37:42,628 --> 00:37:50,602
*

533
00:37:50,636 --> 00:37:52,938
One, two, three.

534
00:37:52,971 --> 00:37:57,142
-Happy Fourth of July!
-Happy Fourth of July!

535
00:37:57,175 --> 00:38:00,045
* Oh yeah

536
00:38:00,078 --> 00:38:04,883
* We got to share our love
in secrecy *

537
00:38:04,916 --> 00:38:07,118
* Nobody must know...

538
00:38:07,152 --> 00:38:09,688
-Love you! Oww!
-* ...about you and me

539
00:38:09,721 --> 00:38:12,691
-Don't love you.
-* We can't take

540
00:38:12,724 --> 00:38:15,260
too much liberty *

541
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:19,631
* Until the time
he sets you free *

542
00:38:19,665 --> 00:38:21,166
* And I got to tell you

543
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:22,968
*

544
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:25,203
* I'm gonna hold you

545
00:38:25,236 --> 00:38:27,906
* I'm gonna squeeze you

546
00:38:27,939 --> 00:38:29,941
* No matter when

547
00:38:29,975 --> 00:38:32,844
* No matter where

548
00:38:32,878 --> 00:38:35,280
* I'm gonna hold you, baby

549
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:55,634
*

550
00:38:55,667 --> 00:39:01,773
*

551
00:39:04,376 --> 00:39:15,086
*

552
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,922
See it?

553
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:19,257
Look, look!

554
00:39:19,290 --> 00:39:34,205
*

555
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:47,986
*

556
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:07,939
*

557
00:40:10,108 --> 00:40:12,778
Two dudes came in here
try and rob Smurf,

558
00:40:12,811 --> 00:40:14,680
and they shot Emmanuel.

559
00:40:14,713 --> 00:40:17,182
*

560
00:40:17,215 --> 00:40:19,417
Once he turned around
and saw that gun in his face,

561
00:40:19,451 --> 00:40:21,419
he knew how it was gonna
play out in his head,

562
00:40:21,453 --> 00:40:22,320
he just knew it,

563
00:40:24,956 --> 00:40:26,391
and they probably was gonna
kill everybody,

564
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:27,693
and he did not want that,

565
00:40:27,726 --> 00:40:29,260
so he tried to fight for it,

566
00:40:29,294 --> 00:40:31,463
he tried to fight his hardest
for that gun,

567
00:40:31,497 --> 00:40:33,465
but he couldn't get it.

568
00:40:33,499 --> 00:40:36,468
And when he tried to run,
they shot him.

569
00:40:36,502 --> 00:40:37,969
And he died.

570
00:40:38,003 --> 00:40:40,806
*

571
00:40:40,839 --> 00:40:42,273
Man, he was innocent, man,

572
00:40:42,307 --> 00:40:45,911
he wasn't no gang banger,
he didn't smoke drugs,

573
00:40:45,944 --> 00:40:48,947
he didn't even drink,
he didn't smoke cigarettes.

574
00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:50,782
He was good.

575
00:40:50,816 --> 00:40:53,952
He was good!

576
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,954
His last words
was to get his--

577
00:40:55,987 --> 00:40:59,057
he wanted to make sure
all the kids and I was safe.

578
00:40:59,090 --> 00:41:01,159
He just wanted us to get out,
like he told us,

579
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,228
"Get out the house and run."

580
00:41:03,261 --> 00:41:05,964
They got all the money
anybody had in this house,

581
00:41:05,997 --> 00:41:07,966
which was $200.

582
00:41:07,999 --> 00:41:09,801
They thought they was gonna
come in here and get more

583
00:41:09,835 --> 00:41:11,136
and still didn't get more,

584
00:41:11,169 --> 00:41:13,171
and still left
killing my little brother

585
00:41:13,204 --> 00:41:14,906
and $200 in their pocket.

586
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:26,918
*

587
00:41:26,952 --> 00:41:29,087
I wish I woulda
stayed on the phone longer

588
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,123
if I knew that
it was the last time.

589
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:33,859
Not long after Carmen Payne
hung up the phone

590
00:41:33,892 --> 00:41:36,261
with her fiancé,
19-year-old Emmanuel Durant,

591
00:41:36,294 --> 00:41:39,264
police say he was murdered
by two masked men

592
00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:41,199
who they believe were trying
to rob his family

593
00:41:41,232 --> 00:41:43,268
inside their home
on Webster Street.

594
00:41:43,301 --> 00:41:45,170
Payne, a freshman at
Virginia State University,

595
00:41:45,203 --> 00:41:47,272
says they were waiting
to get married.

596
00:41:47,305 --> 00:41:48,073
She held my hand
as she showed us

597
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:52,477
He loved his family.

598
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,080
He would do anything
for his family.

599
00:41:55,113 --> 00:41:57,849
And I just wish
that I coulda told him

600
00:41:57,883 --> 00:42:01,119
that I love him,
'cause I do love him.

601
00:42:04,089 --> 00:42:11,029
*

602
00:42:14,966 --> 00:42:16,534
-Careful.
-Justin.

603
00:42:16,568 --> 00:42:17,502
Watch out, boo.

604
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:24,943
Come on.

605
00:42:24,976 --> 00:42:29,514
*

606
00:42:29,547 --> 00:42:34,119
Certain pain
is worth another pain.

607
00:42:34,152 --> 00:42:37,522
You know?

608
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:40,058
And certain pain
does not go away.

609
00:42:40,091 --> 00:42:42,894
You have to...

610
00:42:42,928 --> 00:42:44,963
you have to just
keep carrying that pain.

611
00:42:44,996 --> 00:42:59,911
*

612
00:42:59,945 --> 00:43:00,478
*

613
00:43:00,511 --> 00:43:01,947
Emmanuel was on his way.

614
00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:05,617
*

615
00:43:05,651 --> 00:43:08,019
This is like
kinda hurtin' my faith.

616
00:43:08,053 --> 00:43:17,963
*

617
00:43:20,732 --> 00:43:26,504
*

618
00:44:27,699 --> 00:44:29,100
No, I'm not!

619
00:44:33,805 --> 00:44:37,575
*

620
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:59,925
*

621
00:45:59,958 --> 00:46:01,592
Yeah, they definitely said,

622
00:46:01,626 --> 00:46:03,228
you know, to get a copy photo.

623
00:46:03,261 --> 00:46:04,695
I assume that's Emmanuel
over there?

624
00:46:04,729 --> 00:46:06,597
Yes.

625
00:46:06,631 --> 00:46:09,801
He had just got accepted
to be a cadet

626
00:46:09,835 --> 00:46:11,769
for the fire department.

627
00:46:11,803 --> 00:46:14,105
And that's what he was
looking forward to.

628
00:46:14,139 --> 00:46:16,074
That's all he talked about.

629
00:46:16,107 --> 00:46:19,644
So he was already in rescue mode
in his head, you know?

630
00:46:19,677 --> 00:46:21,612
Wow.

631
00:46:21,646 --> 00:46:22,680
So they're feeling
it was random,

632
00:46:22,713 --> 00:46:24,649
as far as they know right now?

633
00:46:24,682 --> 00:46:27,552
Yeah, but...

634
00:46:27,585 --> 00:46:28,619
Yeah, you gotta get
in the mind of a criminal,

635
00:46:28,653 --> 00:46:31,522
-right, so how do you...
-Mm-hm.

636
00:46:31,556 --> 00:46:34,893
-And they could have seen ya...
-Well, it's him.

637
00:46:34,926 --> 00:46:36,761
Seen him.

638
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,630
*

639
00:46:39,664 --> 00:46:41,967
I mean, Smurf,
I'm not trying to upset him,

640
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,869
but I'm trying
to make him realize

641
00:46:43,902 --> 00:46:46,604
what took place,
and he still doesn't get it.

642
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:47,772
He doesn't wanna accept that.

643
00:46:47,805 --> 00:46:51,877
He doesn't wanna accept that...

644
00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:53,912
he doesn't wanna
accept the fact that

645
00:46:53,945 --> 00:46:55,646
somebody got jealous.

646
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,547
He doesn't wanna accept that.

647
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:02,620
and thought that
he had money,

648
00:47:02,653 --> 00:47:03,855
you follow what I'm saying?

649
00:47:03,889 --> 00:47:05,823
That he had money
because of his car

650
00:47:05,857 --> 00:47:07,658
and the way he was dressing

651
00:47:07,692 --> 00:47:08,759
and what they saw.

652
00:47:08,793 --> 00:47:13,064
*

653
00:47:13,098 --> 00:47:14,966
I'm just hurting, you know,
in a way,

654
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,303
because one son
triggered the events

655
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:19,938
to cause this situation.

656
00:47:19,971 --> 00:47:25,043
*

657
00:47:25,076 --> 00:47:27,345
He really does need
to take a look at hisself.

658
00:47:27,378 --> 00:47:39,824
*

659
00:47:47,365 --> 00:47:51,302
What you want the shirt to say?

660
00:47:51,336 --> 00:47:52,870
"Save me a spot up there."

661
00:47:52,904 --> 00:47:55,873
put it on their shirt.

662
00:47:55,907 --> 00:48:00,078
"You'll be my man forever,
I love you."

663
00:48:00,111 --> 00:48:02,613
That's about it,
"I miss you, cuzo."

664
00:48:02,647 --> 00:48:05,050
That's about it.

665
00:48:05,083 --> 00:48:07,986
"Till we meet again,
we'll always miss you"?

666
00:48:08,019 --> 00:48:09,854
Okay.

667
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:12,823
All right.

668
00:48:12,857 --> 00:48:16,127
Damn, this person's birthday
was a day before Emmanuel's

669
00:48:16,161 --> 00:48:18,896
and he died
four months before Emmanuel.

670
00:48:20,798 --> 00:48:24,869
Okay. I want this picture

671
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:28,073
and the picture that has, um,

672
00:48:28,106 --> 00:48:32,143
Carmen and Emmanuel,
the prom picture.

673
00:48:32,177 --> 00:48:33,945
Ma'am, the picture is already
scanned, so I'm gonna--

674
00:48:33,979 --> 00:48:37,915
Okay, yeah. I wonder,
can you merge the two of 'em

675
00:48:37,949 --> 00:48:41,019
-like kinda together?
-Yeah.

676
00:48:45,823 --> 00:48:47,792
How many prints for this?

677
00:48:47,825 --> 00:48:49,894
I got two shirts over there.

678
00:48:53,064 --> 00:48:56,767
Yeah, mm-hm.

679
00:48:59,804 --> 00:49:01,872
*

680
00:49:05,143 --> 00:49:08,846
* I could have another you
by tomorrow *

681
00:49:08,879 --> 00:49:13,251
* You must not know 'bout me,
you must not know 'bout me *

682
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:16,021
* I could have another you
in a minute *

683
00:49:16,054 --> 00:49:20,691
* Matter fact he'll be here
in a minute, baby *

684
00:49:20,725 --> 00:49:26,097
*

685
00:49:28,499 --> 00:49:38,009
*

686
00:49:44,015 --> 00:49:47,418
Uh, this is a Christmas card
that I gave him.

687
00:49:47,452 --> 00:49:48,953
It said "Merry Christmas."

688
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:51,122
I used to--like, I used
to tell him I hate him,

689
00:49:51,156 --> 00:49:53,091
and I'd be like,
"Where's my money at?"

690
00:49:53,124 --> 00:49:55,860
So I put that in the card.

691
00:50:08,806 --> 00:50:11,809
Yeah. I guess somebody
he went to school with, maybe.

692
00:50:13,411 --> 00:50:15,012
Yeah.

693
00:50:15,046 --> 00:50:18,015
Oh, look, that person
is buried at Harmony,

694
00:50:18,049 --> 00:50:19,917
same place where
he's gonna be buried at.

695
00:50:19,950 --> 00:50:22,053
So, hopefully, maybe this is
one of his friends.

696
00:50:22,087 --> 00:50:25,856
He'll be, you know, there
with one of his friends.

697
00:50:25,890 --> 00:50:27,858
I bought him
this little alarm clock

698
00:50:27,892 --> 00:50:30,228
so he could put--
just so he could have one,

699
00:50:30,261 --> 00:50:33,931
I guess just to have.

700
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:36,234
And I guess that's it.

701
00:50:36,267 --> 00:50:38,103
I want to take his deodorant

702
00:50:38,136 --> 00:50:39,837
so I can have his smell
with me.

703
00:50:39,870 --> 00:50:43,040
I think I'll take that.

704
00:50:43,074 --> 00:50:45,009
Even though it's been a while
since he's been in here,

705
00:50:45,042 --> 00:50:47,345
but it's still just--

706
00:50:47,378 --> 00:50:50,381
No, you know this was
Emmanuel's room.

707
00:50:57,188 --> 00:51:03,060
*

708
00:51:05,896 --> 00:51:20,811
*

709
00:51:20,845 --> 00:51:21,279
*

710
00:51:21,312 --> 00:51:23,181
My baby.

711
00:51:23,214 --> 00:51:25,183
My baby.

712
00:51:25,216 --> 00:51:33,057
*

713
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:35,226
I can't dispute
what God has done.

714
00:51:35,260 --> 00:51:38,563
I just don't think
it was your time, baby.

715
00:51:38,596 --> 00:51:41,098
I just don't.

716
00:51:41,132 --> 00:51:44,135
But I love you,
and I want you back so much.

717
00:51:44,169 --> 00:51:47,238
I want you back,
I wish you would come back.

718
00:51:47,272 --> 00:51:49,407
I wish they hadn't
done this to you.

719
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,109
I wish this hadn't happened,
baby.

720
00:51:52,143 --> 00:51:54,145
You're too young.

721
00:51:56,247 --> 00:52:05,223
*

722
00:52:08,058 --> 00:52:12,463
*

723
00:52:17,101 --> 00:52:28,313
*

724
00:52:28,346 --> 00:52:32,450
Why do bad things happen
to good people?

725
00:52:32,483 --> 00:52:35,620
Now that's been in question
for however long

726
00:52:35,653 --> 00:52:37,522
human beings have been
on the earth.

727
00:52:37,555 --> 00:52:39,457
In fact, if you explore Job,

728
00:52:39,490 --> 00:52:42,159
that's what Job is
really questioning.

729
00:52:42,193 --> 00:52:45,162
"Look, I'm not deserving
of any of this!

730
00:52:45,196 --> 00:52:48,165
I'm not deserving
of any of this calamity

731
00:52:48,199 --> 00:52:50,000
that has happened to me
and my family

732
00:52:50,034 --> 00:52:51,969
because I've been a good man,

733
00:52:52,002 --> 00:52:54,539
I've been a man
who has worshiped God

734
00:52:54,572 --> 00:52:57,007
even when folk around me
were not doing

735
00:52:57,041 --> 00:52:58,609
what they were
supposed to be doing.

736
00:52:58,643 --> 00:53:01,946
I'm the one that got up
in the morning

737
00:53:01,979 --> 00:53:05,283
looking to the Lord, and how
could all this stuff go on?"

738
00:53:05,316 --> 00:53:07,352
*

739
00:53:07,385 --> 00:53:11,322
God, how could you allow
brother Emmanuel Durant

740
00:53:11,356 --> 00:53:13,624
to be taken away from us?

741
00:53:13,658 --> 00:53:15,493
*

742
00:53:15,526 --> 00:53:18,095
I have set before you today

743
00:53:18,128 --> 00:53:20,698
the ways of life and death.

744
00:53:20,731 --> 00:53:23,301
Which will you choose?

745
00:53:23,334 --> 00:53:33,177
*

746
00:53:47,157 --> 00:53:58,002
*

747
00:53:58,035 --> 00:54:00,471
Emmanuel's case now
is a cold case.

748
00:54:00,505 --> 00:54:02,473
*

749
00:54:02,507 --> 00:54:05,175
They probably did want
to find Emmanuel's killer,

750
00:54:05,209 --> 00:54:07,812
but they're regular cops.

751
00:54:07,845 --> 00:54:10,581
*

752
00:54:10,615 --> 00:54:12,683
At the end of the day,
they had no leads

753
00:54:12,717 --> 00:54:14,919
or there was no witnesses.

754
00:54:14,952 --> 00:54:18,155
Nobody saw their faces,
so I feel they did their job

755
00:54:18,188 --> 00:54:21,659
to the best of their ability.

756
00:54:21,692 --> 00:54:24,629
The way shit works right now
and the way stuff goin' in DC,

757
00:54:24,662 --> 00:54:26,664
these cops got too much.

758
00:54:26,697 --> 00:54:29,767
Like, now, DC got over
a hundred-something homicides,

759
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,569
and that's just this year alone.

760
00:54:31,602 --> 00:54:33,037
Every year it grows.

761
00:54:33,070 --> 00:54:35,773
It's hard to focus on
one person's death

762
00:54:35,806 --> 00:54:39,076
when you've got 90 more cases
just like it.

763
00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:40,778
*

764
00:54:43,213 --> 00:54:46,250
*

765
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:53,724
*

766
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:57,695
Eat it up.

767
00:55:16,180 --> 00:55:17,748
Come on, it's time to get up.

768
00:55:19,617 --> 00:55:21,652
Justin...

769
00:55:23,821 --> 00:55:25,222
Justin!

770
00:55:26,924 --> 00:55:29,093
Jay!

771
00:55:29,126 --> 00:55:31,228
Jay, Jay, come on,
it's time to wake up.

772
00:55:31,261 --> 00:55:33,531
Come on, get up!

773
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:37,602
Get up.

774
00:55:37,635 --> 00:55:40,037
Get up, get up, get up.

775
00:55:40,070 --> 00:55:41,706
I'm gonna let you fall,
if you don't want to fall,

776
00:55:41,739 --> 00:55:44,174
you better start walking.

777
00:55:44,208 --> 00:55:46,176
Time to get ready for school.

778
00:55:55,686 --> 00:55:58,022
My name is Justin Sanford.

779
00:55:58,055 --> 00:55:59,990
I am nine years old.

780
00:56:00,024 --> 00:56:03,293
My favorite subjects
are math, science,

781
00:56:03,327 --> 00:56:05,996
social studies, and reading.

782
00:56:07,698 --> 00:56:10,334
I could wear these.

783
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:12,637
I will wear these.

784
00:56:12,670 --> 00:56:14,739
They look like shorts.

785
00:56:14,772 --> 00:56:18,308
*

786
00:56:18,342 --> 00:56:21,345
I live with my mom, Denice.

787
00:56:21,378 --> 00:56:23,914
I live with my Uncle Smurf.

788
00:56:23,948 --> 00:56:25,950
I live with my sister, Faith,

789
00:56:25,983 --> 00:56:28,686
my turtle, Turtle Wayne,

790
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,321
the other turtle,
Turtle Wayne, Jr.,

791
00:56:31,355 --> 00:56:33,824
and one bunny.

792
00:56:33,858 --> 00:56:36,694
*

793
00:56:49,006 --> 00:56:52,042
*

794
00:56:52,076 --> 00:56:57,047
Some people say I remind them
of my Uncle Emmanuel

795
00:56:57,081 --> 00:56:59,717
because of the way
my feet look,

796
00:56:59,750 --> 00:57:01,185
the way we stand.

797
00:57:01,218 --> 00:57:03,688
Sometimes they say
the way we smile,

798
00:57:03,721 --> 00:57:06,090
sometimes they say
the way we act,

799
00:57:06,123 --> 00:57:10,027
sometimes they say
the way we play or fight,

800
00:57:10,060 --> 00:57:12,997
or sometimes they'll just say
the ears.

801
00:57:13,030 --> 00:57:15,933
*

802
00:57:21,706 --> 00:57:23,040
*

803
00:57:23,073 --> 00:57:25,009
I grew up in this house.

804
00:57:25,042 --> 00:57:26,110
*

805
00:57:26,143 --> 00:57:31,782
I moved back in 2011
because my father passed away.

806
00:57:31,816 --> 00:57:34,284
*

807
00:57:34,318 --> 00:57:36,386
But we've decided to sell

808
00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:40,224
because we cannot get a loan,

809
00:57:40,257 --> 00:57:42,727
and it's senseless
to let the house

810
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,862
continue to deteriorate.

811
00:57:44,895 --> 00:57:46,697
*

812
00:57:46,731 --> 00:57:48,933
There's a rag over there
in the bucket.

813
00:57:48,966 --> 00:57:50,034
There should be two rags
over there.

814
00:57:50,067 --> 00:57:53,904
Get the rags, start wiping
some of this stuff off.

815
00:57:59,143 --> 00:58:00,811
That's Uncle Emmanuel.

816
00:58:02,813 --> 00:58:04,414
He was my uncle.

817
00:58:04,448 --> 00:58:07,117
-Was he a fun uncle?
-Yes.

818
00:58:07,151 --> 00:58:10,454
We went to stores,
we played games.

819
00:58:10,487 --> 00:58:12,189
He saved our life.

820
00:58:12,222 --> 00:58:14,725
When he was about--
when he was about--

821
00:58:14,759 --> 00:58:18,796
when he was shot,
he--he told us to get out.

822
00:58:18,829 --> 00:58:20,698
Why did he tell us
to get out of the house?

823
00:58:20,731 --> 00:58:24,735
-Who was in the house?
-Robbers, and they had guns,

824
00:58:24,769 --> 00:58:29,106
and they were trying
to rob Uncle Smurf.

825
00:58:29,139 --> 00:58:31,976
And, then, Uncle Emmanuel
came downstairs

826
00:58:32,009 --> 00:58:35,179
and he was trying to help
Uncle Smurf,

827
00:58:35,212 --> 00:58:38,015
and he started
beating up the man,

828
00:58:38,048 --> 00:58:39,817
then the gun fell inside.

829
00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:41,185
Uncle Emmanuel
tried to pick it up,

830
00:58:41,218 --> 00:58:44,889
but then the other boy
shot him in the leg.

831
00:58:44,922 --> 00:58:45,990
I don't know.

832
00:59:09,513 --> 00:59:13,150
On January 13th of 2016,

833
00:59:13,183 --> 00:59:17,855
the defendant was in a vehicle
that was traveling

834
00:59:17,888 --> 00:59:20,925
without a functioning
front left headlight.

835
00:59:20,958 --> 00:59:23,027
That vehicle was pulled over

836
00:59:23,060 --> 00:59:25,329
in accordance
with the traffic stop,

837
00:59:25,362 --> 00:59:28,999
and when the officers did
a search of the vehicle,

838
00:59:29,033 --> 00:59:31,401
the officers recovered a vial

839
00:59:31,435 --> 00:59:34,371
that was filled
with an amber liquid

840
00:59:34,404 --> 00:59:37,074
consisting with PCP.

841
00:59:39,977 --> 00:59:41,145
Mr. Sanford, I've received
your plea agreement

842
00:59:41,178 --> 00:59:42,546
and waiver of trial.

843
00:59:42,579 --> 00:59:44,348
Has anyone promised you
anything else

844
00:59:44,381 --> 00:59:46,884
in exchange for your decision
to plead guilty?

845
00:59:46,917 --> 00:59:48,252
-No, Your Honor.
-Has anyone forced you

846
00:59:48,285 --> 00:59:51,255
to waive your right
to have a trial?

847
00:59:51,288 --> 00:59:53,123
Have you had enough time
to think about your decision

848
00:59:53,157 --> 00:59:55,960
to enter into the guilty plea?

849
00:59:55,993 --> 00:59:57,494
And, Ms. Cresta-Savage,
could you place on the record

850
00:59:57,527 --> 00:59:59,063
what you've advised Mr. Sanford

851
00:59:59,096 --> 01:00:02,800
concerning the maximum sentence
that he could face?

852
01:00:02,833 --> 01:00:05,069
Yes, Your Honor, in this case,

853
01:00:05,102 --> 01:00:09,940
uh, the maximum sentence,
I believe, is 30 years

854
01:00:09,974 --> 01:00:13,978
-and/or a $500,000 fine.
-Okay, and, Mr. Sanford,

855
01:00:14,011 --> 01:00:15,512
do you have any questions
about the maximum sentence

856
01:00:15,545 --> 01:00:17,547
that you could face?

857
01:00:17,581 --> 01:00:20,084
So, Mr. Sanford
then will remain released

858
01:00:20,117 --> 01:00:22,820
pending sentencing
in this case.

859
01:00:25,055 --> 01:00:31,896
*

860
01:00:34,498 --> 01:00:36,266
*

861
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:39,403
Smurf is haunted by the fact

862
01:00:39,436 --> 01:00:43,207
that his actions
caused that tragedy.

863
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:51,581
*

864
01:00:51,615 --> 01:00:55,119
And there's one thing

865
01:00:55,152 --> 01:00:59,056
that the demon still has
around him.

866
01:00:59,089 --> 01:01:01,892
*

867
01:01:01,926 --> 01:01:04,594
I don't see what he sees
in putting embalming fluid

868
01:01:04,628 --> 01:01:07,064
into his system.

869
01:01:07,097 --> 01:01:09,133
*

870
01:01:09,166 --> 01:01:11,936
I think it makes him numb
and forget,

871
01:01:11,969 --> 01:01:16,240
but it's killing him
and he needs to stop.

872
01:01:16,273 --> 01:01:23,881
*

873
01:01:23,914 --> 01:01:25,615
All I'm doing is skipping rocks.

874
01:01:32,622 --> 01:01:34,859
High score!

875
01:01:49,039 --> 01:01:51,909
Around here, there's like all--

876
01:01:51,942 --> 01:01:55,679
You see all these shoes
that be hanging up,

877
01:01:55,712 --> 01:01:58,983
it means somebody--they died

878
01:01:59,016 --> 01:02:01,518
because people get shot
around here.

879
01:02:05,689 --> 01:02:07,057
Let's go.

880
01:02:07,091 --> 01:02:08,926
Hm.

881
01:02:11,161 --> 01:02:18,035
*

882
01:02:23,073 --> 01:02:28,178
*

883
01:02:30,614 --> 01:02:42,592
*

884
01:02:44,561 --> 01:02:55,840
*

885
01:03:00,978 --> 01:03:02,847
But my mom said
I could come out

886
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,749
after I put my pants on.

887
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,656
Three days snowed in.

888
01:03:14,524 --> 01:03:15,792
And not enough space.

889
01:03:15,826 --> 01:03:18,495
This apartment
is not big enough.

890
01:03:18,528 --> 01:03:21,899
Like I said,
the apartment is too small.

891
01:03:21,932 --> 01:03:24,201
Hey, hey, let's not have
a conniption

892
01:03:24,234 --> 01:03:26,503
in the small kitchen,
let's go out there

893
01:03:26,536 --> 01:03:27,771
to the even smaller
living room

894
01:03:27,804 --> 01:03:29,940
to have a conniption.

895
01:03:29,974 --> 01:03:32,609
I don't care
if I was in a matchbox.

896
01:03:32,642 --> 01:03:35,579
Okay, it gets kind of--
it gets kind of hectic in here.

897
01:03:35,612 --> 01:03:38,782
All right, I'm not gonna fold,
I'm not gonna lie,

898
01:03:38,815 --> 01:03:41,518
I'm not gonna say--
I'm kind of lazy.

899
01:03:41,551 --> 01:03:42,920
Once upon a time,
we had to live--

900
01:03:42,953 --> 01:03:45,655
we had to live in a room,
all of us.

901
01:03:45,689 --> 01:03:50,294
But, but I'm the one
who gets up,

902
01:03:50,327 --> 01:03:52,696
go to work, yeah.

903
01:03:52,729 --> 01:03:54,698
My hat is off to you
when it comes to that,

904
01:03:54,731 --> 01:03:57,902
but--but my hat--my hat--

905
01:03:57,935 --> 01:04:00,037
my hat stays on my head

906
01:04:00,070 --> 01:04:03,941
when it comes
to your organization.

907
01:04:03,974 --> 01:04:05,876
I know I can do better,
but hey.

908
01:04:05,910 --> 01:04:08,812
How many times a day
do I clean the bathroom, huh?

909
01:04:08,845 --> 01:04:10,647
Why are you asking them?
What do they know?

910
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:12,983
-They know.
-I'm kind of lazy.

911
01:04:13,017 --> 01:04:17,854
Having Cheryl move back
has been hard.

912
01:04:17,888 --> 01:04:21,058
It's back like when I was

913
01:04:21,091 --> 01:04:24,028
a child or something.

914
01:04:24,061 --> 01:04:27,264
But Cheryl has a lot
of issues of her own.

915
01:04:29,166 --> 01:04:31,268
A lot of problems
that go wrong in her life,

916
01:04:31,301 --> 01:04:32,836
she wants someone to blame

917
01:04:32,869 --> 01:04:36,907
instead of pointing
the finger at herself.

918
01:04:36,941 --> 01:04:40,577
I mean, she still does
her coke thing.

919
01:04:40,610 --> 01:04:43,080
Her usage is almost now
like an everyday thing.

920
01:04:43,113 --> 01:04:46,716
Like, before,
it wasn't like that.

921
01:04:46,750 --> 01:04:48,352
I can't force her to stop.

922
01:04:48,385 --> 01:04:50,020
It's her own decision.

923
01:04:50,054 --> 01:04:52,689
But I don't know,
it's just getting

924
01:04:52,722 --> 01:04:54,724
to be too much now.

925
01:04:56,994 --> 01:05:03,733
*

926
01:05:03,767 --> 01:05:07,704
It doesn't make me forget
or make me numb.

927
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:10,674
It makes me feel, and that's
what I want to do sometimes,

928
01:05:10,707 --> 01:05:12,642
I want to feel.

929
01:05:12,676 --> 01:05:18,015
*

930
01:05:18,048 --> 01:05:20,784
Why would I want to be
faced every day

931
01:05:20,817 --> 01:05:23,887
that I know that my family
is not complete anymore,

932
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:28,025
you know, that he was robbed
of his life, he was stolen?

933
01:05:28,058 --> 01:05:30,727
I feel there's
a parallel universe

934
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,998
where he's not dead
and he's married to Carmen,

935
01:05:34,031 --> 01:05:34,898
and they have children,

936
01:05:34,931 --> 01:05:37,834
and he's the chief
of the fire department,

937
01:05:37,867 --> 01:05:42,039
and I visit, we have cookouts,
we go to the beach,

938
01:05:42,072 --> 01:05:44,641
we go on vacation together.

939
01:05:44,674 --> 01:05:46,743
It's just like
some of those love stories

940
01:05:46,776 --> 01:05:48,745
you see on Lifetime, okay?

941
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:49,779
That's how it is.

942
01:05:49,813 --> 01:05:51,681
The big Christmas, you know,

943
01:05:51,715 --> 01:05:54,651
where on Christmas Eve
the whole family comes over

944
01:05:54,684 --> 01:05:56,420
to Grandma's house
and everybody spends the night,

945
01:05:56,453 --> 01:05:58,055
and we go to midnight mass,

946
01:05:58,088 --> 01:05:59,723
then we come back
and eat some food,

947
01:05:59,756 --> 01:06:01,891
and open up one present,
and go to bed,

948
01:06:01,925 --> 01:06:03,160
and then in the morning,
we get up

949
01:06:03,193 --> 01:06:05,929
and eat a big breakfast,
and everybody opens up

950
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:06,796
their presents, you know?

951
01:06:06,830 --> 01:06:09,666
It's--it's real.

952
01:06:09,699 --> 01:06:11,368
It's real.

953
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:29,853
What's your name?
What's your whole name?

954
01:06:29,886 --> 01:06:32,422
-Faith.
-Faith what?

955
01:06:32,456 --> 01:06:36,093
Faith Carmen Destiny Sanford.

956
01:06:36,126 --> 01:06:39,963
Right. Faith Carmen
Destiny Sanford.

957
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:42,332
I told her it was gonna be
Emmanuel or Carmen.

958
01:06:42,366 --> 01:06:43,933
So I named her Carmen.

959
01:06:50,174 --> 01:06:52,076
If Emmanuel was here,
I probably would have

960
01:06:52,109 --> 01:06:53,943
a baby by now.

961
01:06:53,977 --> 01:06:56,113
I'd probably be married.

962
01:06:56,146 --> 01:06:59,449
But the hardest part
was anniversary time

963
01:06:59,483 --> 01:07:01,818
or, like, in the beginning,

964
01:07:01,851 --> 01:07:03,853
I didn't really--I didn't
really want to go to Outback,

965
01:07:03,887 --> 01:07:05,889
and everybody knows Outback
is my favorite restaurant.

966
01:07:05,922 --> 01:07:07,957
I can go to Outback every day.

967
01:07:07,991 --> 01:07:09,293
But I don't want to be bothered
with Outback

968
01:07:09,326 --> 01:07:10,460
because that's where
Emmanuel--me and Emmanuel

969
01:07:10,494 --> 01:07:12,129
used to go all the time.

970
01:07:12,162 --> 01:07:14,731
And I guess when relationships
started to fail,

971
01:07:14,764 --> 01:07:16,900
like I after I started dating,
if they failed,

972
01:07:16,933 --> 01:07:19,169
I got very angry, just like,
"Well, if Emmanuel was here,

973
01:07:19,203 --> 01:07:20,837
I wouldn't have to deal
with this,"

974
01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:22,806
or, "Emmanuel would
never let this happen."

975
01:07:22,839 --> 01:07:24,808
I still do that to this day.

976
01:07:24,841 --> 01:07:26,843
And I used to,
you know, offend.

977
01:07:26,876 --> 01:07:29,246
I think I said it in front of
one of my boyfriends one time

978
01:07:29,279 --> 01:07:32,048
and he got very offended,
but I really didn't care.

979
01:07:32,082 --> 01:07:35,219
No one will be able
to replace Emmanuel in her heart

980
01:07:35,252 --> 01:07:37,454
because Emmanuel
will always be Emmanuel,

981
01:07:37,487 --> 01:07:40,490
but she will find love.

982
01:07:44,828 --> 01:07:50,033
*

983
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:53,036
My brother,
he--he looked up to me.

984
01:07:53,069 --> 01:07:55,272
*

985
01:07:55,305 --> 01:07:59,409
And I want to prove to him
that I can do better

986
01:07:59,443 --> 01:08:01,145
'cause I can.

987
01:08:01,178 --> 01:08:02,846
*

988
01:08:02,879 --> 01:08:04,514
"Larry turned my dollar
over and over,

989
01:08:04,548 --> 01:08:06,116
and I started getting nervous.

990
01:08:06,150 --> 01:08:07,884
'You know what, Kenny?'

991
01:08:07,917 --> 01:08:09,353
'What?' I held my breath.

992
01:08:09,386 --> 01:08:11,288
'This is some real
strange stuff,

993
01:08:11,321 --> 01:08:15,959
but I lost 50 cents
over on Kennelworth yesterday.'"

994
01:08:15,992 --> 01:08:17,527
Last time I got locked up,

995
01:08:17,561 --> 01:08:20,397
this was, like, 2013,

996
01:08:20,430 --> 01:08:22,199
when I came home,
Takel was like,

997
01:08:22,232 --> 01:08:23,400
"I thought you said
you wouldn't

998
01:08:23,433 --> 01:08:25,969
get locked up no more, Dad."

999
01:08:26,002 --> 01:08:28,905
Certain things hit you hard.

1000
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:30,507
I want to make my sons proud.

1001
01:08:30,540 --> 01:08:33,076
I want to set an example.

1002
01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:36,180
My example is--it's not good.

1003
01:08:36,213 --> 01:08:42,085
*

1004
01:08:42,118 --> 01:08:44,154
What you want to eat 'cause
y'all are some picky people.

1005
01:08:44,188 --> 01:08:45,589
I'm not about to go ahead

1006
01:08:45,622 --> 01:08:47,557
and whip up
eight different things.

1007
01:08:47,591 --> 01:08:49,293
So what--what would you like?

1008
01:08:49,326 --> 01:08:52,829
What I have to eat that I was
making for my children,

1009
01:08:52,862 --> 01:08:53,997
that they're gonna eat
'cause there ain't gonna be

1010
01:08:54,030 --> 01:08:55,832
no ifs, ands, or buts,

1011
01:08:55,865 --> 01:08:57,567
was some roast that we made
last night.

1012
01:08:57,601 --> 01:08:58,835
Now if you don't want roast,

1013
01:08:58,868 --> 01:09:01,137
let me give you another option.

1014
01:09:01,171 --> 01:09:03,207
Noodles or bread and water.

1015
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:04,541
-I want noodles!
-Noodles!

1016
01:09:04,574 --> 01:09:07,143
-Noodles!
-I want noodles!

1017
01:09:07,177 --> 01:09:09,145
Everybody want noodles?

1018
01:09:09,179 --> 01:09:11,915
What did I sign myself up for?

1019
01:09:13,883 --> 01:09:17,954
Smurf got in trouble
and got his dumb ass arrested

1020
01:09:17,987 --> 01:09:19,989
right out front of the house.

1021
01:09:20,023 --> 01:09:24,294
It's frustrating
'cause we all getting older,

1022
01:09:24,328 --> 01:09:27,964
and then with everything
that's going on with our mother,

1023
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:31,000
it's getting played out.

1024
01:09:31,034 --> 01:09:32,869
I love all my nieces
and nephews,

1025
01:09:32,902 --> 01:09:35,104
but I have to raise
my own kids.

1026
01:09:35,138 --> 01:09:36,473
So if he get locked up,

1027
01:09:36,506 --> 01:09:37,974
I'm not taking
that responsibility

1028
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:40,344
like I've done before.

1029
01:09:40,377 --> 01:09:44,113
Please don't get no noodles
on my bed or my floor!

1030
01:09:44,147 --> 01:09:46,250
They just don't care,
uh-uh, uh-uh.

1031
01:09:46,283 --> 01:09:48,585
Where is Smurf?

1032
01:09:51,221 --> 01:09:54,291
*

1033
01:09:54,324 --> 01:09:56,125
The bathroom don't lock no more.

1034
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:58,127
I can't even go to the bathroom

1035
01:09:58,161 --> 01:10:00,330
'cause they bust
in the bathroom.

1036
01:10:00,364 --> 01:10:02,232
They want something
every two seconds.

1037
01:10:02,266 --> 01:10:04,234
"I'm hungry, I'm thirsty."

1038
01:10:04,268 --> 01:10:07,136
I love my kids,
that's what I'm supposed to do,

1039
01:10:07,170 --> 01:10:10,006
but shit, I be wanting,
like, ten minutes,

1040
01:10:10,039 --> 01:10:11,975
just ten minutes
to just do anything.

1041
01:10:12,008 --> 01:10:15,211
Like, I don't even get that.

1042
01:10:15,245 --> 01:10:17,013
I got paid today.

1043
01:10:17,046 --> 01:10:20,650
My check was literally $700.

1044
01:10:20,684 --> 01:10:22,352
My rent is 535,

1045
01:10:22,386 --> 01:10:25,088
my motherfucking gas,
two-something.

1046
01:10:25,121 --> 01:10:26,089
My whole fucking check gone.

1047
01:10:26,122 --> 01:10:27,257
I didn't care.

1048
01:10:27,291 --> 01:10:29,058
I didn't cry about it.

1049
01:10:29,092 --> 01:10:32,195
I came in here
and paid all my bills.

1050
01:10:32,228 --> 01:10:35,198
*

1051
01:10:38,101 --> 01:10:40,670
Oh my God, you're heavy!

1052
01:10:40,704 --> 01:10:44,040
Walk! Start walking
'cause I can't...

1053
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:45,942
See, look,
I fell back down, look.

1054
01:10:45,975 --> 01:10:48,177
Come on, start walking.

1055
01:10:50,380 --> 01:10:53,016
I don't know where to go.

1056
01:10:54,684 --> 01:10:58,187
, I'm sorry.

1057
01:11:18,207 --> 01:11:19,609
-Okay.
-Thank you.

1058
01:11:21,878 --> 01:11:24,781
I was looking at you,
you got a long history.

1059
01:11:24,814 --> 01:11:26,750
And I noticed
it started in 2002.

1060
01:11:26,783 --> 01:11:28,718
Didn't you say
your brother passed?

1061
01:11:28,752 --> 01:11:29,853
So I was coming up,

1062
01:11:29,886 --> 01:11:31,855
but definitely since
my brother passed.

1063
01:11:31,888 --> 01:11:34,458
Around that time, maybe I do
get a little depressed

1064
01:11:34,491 --> 01:11:36,225
and want to probably use more.

1065
01:11:36,259 --> 01:11:38,728
But, um, he said something
about counseling,

1066
01:11:38,762 --> 01:11:39,863
and I never thought about

1067
01:11:39,896 --> 01:11:41,731
getting counseling
or none of that.

1068
01:11:41,765 --> 01:11:44,668
When you've experienced
some trauma like that

1069
01:11:44,701 --> 01:11:46,903
and just the different things
you've been going through,

1070
01:11:46,936 --> 01:11:47,904
it'd probably be
in your best interest

1071
01:11:47,937 --> 01:11:50,707
to get with a counselor,
just get out what it is

1072
01:11:50,740 --> 01:11:52,776
inside you, what's happening.

1073
01:11:52,809 --> 01:11:55,645
But the light has to come on,
you've got to want that.

1074
01:11:55,679 --> 01:11:58,181
My mother has been fighting
a long addiction

1075
01:11:58,214 --> 01:11:59,048
throughout her life.

1076
01:12:02,519 --> 01:12:04,588
"Maybe if I show her
that I could, you know,

1077
01:12:04,621 --> 01:12:05,922
stay on the right path

1078
01:12:05,955 --> 01:12:07,123
and continue to stay
on this right path,

1079
01:12:07,156 --> 01:12:09,893
then she'll look at me and want
to do something different."

1080
01:12:09,926 --> 01:12:11,227
Then I got my children,
that's the thing

1081
01:12:11,260 --> 01:12:12,829
that I think about most.

1082
01:12:12,862 --> 01:12:14,898
My older son, he 11,
his brother about to be ten,

1083
01:12:14,931 --> 01:12:16,600
so you know,
they're getting to that age

1084
01:12:16,633 --> 01:12:19,669
where I just want to put
as much time in with 'em I can.

1085
01:12:19,703 --> 01:12:21,070
As a matter of fact,
here's the thing,

1086
01:12:21,104 --> 01:12:24,608
a decision was made
and consequences follow,

1087
01:12:24,641 --> 01:12:26,810
so it doesn't matter whether
the decision was made today

1088
01:12:26,843 --> 01:12:29,913
or whether it was made
30 years ago, it impacts.

1089
01:12:29,946 --> 01:12:31,915
So right now,
you're making a decision

1090
01:12:31,948 --> 01:12:34,017
to want the right path,
and trust me,

1091
01:12:34,050 --> 01:12:36,686
it's gonna have an impact
on your children,

1092
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,221
your grandchildren,
your great-grandchildren,

1093
01:12:38,254 --> 01:12:39,989
years from now.

1094
01:12:40,023 --> 01:12:41,257
It's hard to believe,
but you do have

1095
01:12:41,290 --> 01:12:42,792
that impact on your family.

1096
01:12:59,709 --> 01:13:01,277
How is everybody doing
this evening?

1097
01:13:01,310 --> 01:13:03,580
-Good!
-Good, sir!

1098
01:13:03,613 --> 01:13:05,281
The weather is a little touchy
out there, isn't it?

1099
01:13:05,314 --> 01:13:07,050
Yes, sir!

1100
01:13:07,083 --> 01:13:09,118
That's not everybody's voice.

1101
01:13:09,152 --> 01:13:11,621
-Yes, sir!
-Everybody say, "Yes, sir!"

1102
01:13:11,655 --> 01:13:14,290
Yes, sir!

1103
01:13:16,726 --> 01:13:21,130
*

1104
01:13:21,164 --> 01:13:25,802
My hope for Justin
is to be something in life.

1105
01:13:25,835 --> 01:13:28,037
He wants to be a firefighter
like Emmanuel,

1106
01:13:28,071 --> 01:13:31,575
but if not a firefighter,
to me, anything.

1107
01:13:31,608 --> 01:13:34,944
Just more than what people
think of black men.

1108
01:13:34,978 --> 01:13:36,980
*

1109
01:13:37,013 --> 01:13:39,683
Like, now, I try to get him
in sports and stuff,

1110
01:13:39,716 --> 01:13:43,186
just so he doesn't have to be
on the streets.

1111
01:13:43,219 --> 01:13:44,854
*

1112
01:13:44,888 --> 01:13:47,891
I will work my butt off
just to help him strive

1113
01:13:47,924 --> 01:13:49,726
to stay motivated
to be a better person

1114
01:13:49,759 --> 01:13:52,796
'cause I don't want him to know
what a jail looks like.

1115
01:13:52,829 --> 01:13:53,830
*

1116
01:13:53,863 --> 01:13:57,333
I want more
for both of my children.

1117
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:03,873
*

1118
01:14:13,783 --> 01:14:14,918
Okay, it shouldn't be too long.

1119
01:14:17,220 --> 01:14:19,989
What are we in?
April, April showers.

1120
01:14:20,023 --> 01:14:21,925
Okay.

1121
01:15:12,341 --> 01:15:14,410
*

1122
01:15:16,846 --> 01:15:23,853
*

1123
01:15:25,789 --> 01:15:27,824
*

1124
01:15:27,857 --> 01:15:31,928
Hi, I don't mean to invade
your privacy,

1125
01:15:31,961 --> 01:15:33,930
but my name is Cheryl Sanford.

1126
01:15:33,963 --> 01:15:36,700
I grew up in this house.

1127
01:15:36,733 --> 01:15:38,134
Okay. When did you grow up here?

1128
01:15:38,167 --> 01:15:41,304
Oh, I lived here my whole life.

1129
01:15:41,337 --> 01:15:43,172
*

1130
01:15:43,206 --> 01:15:47,443
When I was 12, I started
to go to little parties,

1131
01:15:47,476 --> 01:15:49,445
little house parties.

1132
01:15:49,478 --> 01:15:51,815
And the social network

1133
01:15:51,848 --> 01:15:54,450
that my mother was
pushing me into

1134
01:15:54,483 --> 01:15:57,821
was the upper elite crowd.

1135
01:15:57,854 --> 01:16:00,456
*

1136
01:16:00,489 --> 01:16:03,492
She was trying to get me
to hobnob

1137
01:16:03,526 --> 01:16:06,362
with a better class of people.

1138
01:16:06,395 --> 01:16:09,733
*

1139
01:16:09,766 --> 01:16:14,437
And these boys decided
I didn't belong.

1140
01:16:14,470 --> 01:16:15,839
*

1141
01:16:15,872 --> 01:16:16,906
They called
and asked permission

1142
01:16:16,940 --> 01:16:19,142
to take me to a party.

1143
01:16:19,175 --> 01:16:21,177
He picks me up
and then he goes

1144
01:16:21,210 --> 01:16:25,749
and picks up,
like, five more guys.

1145
01:16:25,782 --> 01:16:28,317
He took me to the party,
but he comes to me and lies.

1146
01:16:28,351 --> 01:16:31,220
He says, "Oh, I got
to be home by 10:00,

1147
01:16:31,254 --> 01:16:34,023
so I've got to take
you home now."

1148
01:16:34,057 --> 01:16:36,192
I don't know,
so I get back in the car,

1149
01:16:36,225 --> 01:16:39,863
but here comes all these guys
piling in the car,

1150
01:16:39,896 --> 01:16:42,165
and then another carload
behind us.

1151
01:16:42,198 --> 01:16:45,368
And instead,
they go to Rock Creek Park.

1152
01:16:45,401 --> 01:16:47,871
*

1153
01:16:47,904 --> 01:16:49,973
I was abused, I was raped.

1154
01:16:50,006 --> 01:16:53,409
But--well, they called that
"gangbanging" back then.

1155
01:16:53,442 --> 01:16:54,911
*

1156
01:16:54,944 --> 01:16:57,881
That's called "gangbanging."

1157
01:16:57,914 --> 01:17:05,855
*

1158
01:17:10,894 --> 01:17:14,931
*

1159
01:17:14,964 --> 01:17:17,433
I've lost so much.

1160
01:17:17,466 --> 01:17:18,567
*

1161
01:17:18,601 --> 01:17:20,503
You know?

1162
01:17:20,536 --> 01:17:26,375
*

1163
01:17:26,409 --> 01:17:29,512
You just can't jump
back into life,

1164
01:17:29,545 --> 01:17:31,414
you know what I'm saying?

1165
01:17:31,447 --> 01:17:33,516
You have to heal.

1166
01:17:33,549 --> 01:17:35,184
*

1167
01:17:35,218 --> 01:17:37,453
You have to heal.

1168
01:17:37,486 --> 01:17:40,890
*

1169
01:17:43,492 --> 01:17:51,534
*

1170
01:17:53,937 --> 01:18:00,143
*

1171
01:18:02,578 --> 01:18:13,322
*

1172
01:18:13,356 --> 01:18:16,860
For the past few years,
I've been doing double shifts

1173
01:18:16,893 --> 01:18:19,228
at a daycare center.

1174
01:18:19,262 --> 01:18:21,097
*

1175
01:18:21,130 --> 01:18:25,001
But, now, I'm trying to become
a special police officer

1176
01:18:25,034 --> 01:18:28,504
which is a security officer
who can carry a gun.

1177
01:18:30,940 --> 01:18:35,344
*

1178
01:18:35,378 --> 01:18:37,146
It's a really dangerous job,

1179
01:18:37,180 --> 01:18:40,583
and it doesn't pay well,
13 bucks an hour.

1180
01:18:40,616 --> 01:18:43,219
*

1181
01:18:43,252 --> 01:18:46,489
But I take pride
in protecting my neighborhood.

1182
01:18:46,522 --> 01:18:48,624
*

1183
01:18:48,657 --> 01:18:50,159
And it's the kind of job

1184
01:18:50,193 --> 01:18:52,261
that would've made
Emmanuel proud.

1185
01:18:52,295 --> 01:18:59,468
*

1186
01:18:59,502 --> 01:19:02,505
I can't do it, it's too hard.

1187
01:19:02,538 --> 01:19:05,674
-I can't catch like that.
-Keep your hands just like that

1188
01:19:05,708 --> 01:19:08,411
and wait for the ball.

1189
01:19:08,444 --> 01:19:10,479
Good job!

1190
01:19:10,513 --> 01:19:11,480
Throw it.

1191
01:19:13,716 --> 01:19:16,152
Every day, I always go over
to Denice's house

1192
01:19:16,185 --> 01:19:17,987
to see Faith and Justin

1193
01:19:18,021 --> 01:19:21,724
'cause that's all my pride,
those are my babies.

1194
01:19:21,757 --> 01:19:24,894
And I end up meeting someone

1195
01:19:24,928 --> 01:19:26,695
that lived in
the same neighborhood

1196
01:19:26,729 --> 01:19:29,565
and it just took off
from there.

1197
01:19:31,567 --> 01:19:35,004
With my new boyfriend,
it is hard for him to understand

1198
01:19:35,038 --> 01:19:39,042
the love and dedication
that I have to the family.

1199
01:19:39,075 --> 01:19:42,745
Faith and Justin
feel like the kids

1200
01:19:42,778 --> 01:19:46,549
that me and Emmanuel
would've had.

1201
01:19:46,582 --> 01:19:48,684
I mean, I treat them
like they're my kids.

1202
01:19:48,717 --> 01:19:50,553
And it's kind of hard
to explain

1203
01:19:50,586 --> 01:19:52,688
'cause I don't really know
a lot of people who have

1204
01:19:52,721 --> 01:19:54,590
the kind of relationship
that I have

1205
01:19:54,623 --> 01:19:56,625
with Denice and them.

1206
01:19:56,659 --> 01:19:58,227
*

1207
01:19:58,261 --> 01:20:00,463
My boyfriend had to come around.

1208
01:20:00,496 --> 01:20:03,166
It, you know, it took time,
which is expected.

1209
01:20:03,199 --> 01:20:04,600
But, then, we worked on it.

1210
01:20:04,633 --> 01:20:05,935
Then, next thing you know,

1211
01:20:05,969 --> 01:20:08,905
he's buying something
for Faith.

1212
01:20:08,938 --> 01:20:12,842
You can only grow to love
this family.

1213
01:20:12,876 --> 01:20:19,082
*

1214
01:20:21,084 --> 01:20:23,552
Hi, my name is Cheryl Sanford,
how are you?

1215
01:20:23,586 --> 01:20:25,554
Cheryl, A.J. Mitchell.

1216
01:20:25,588 --> 01:20:29,893
And what's got you coming in
to get some help?

1217
01:20:29,926 --> 01:20:31,727
What made me come
to this decision?

1218
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,564
My age, one,
and my family, two.

1219
01:20:35,598 --> 01:20:36,900
I want to break the cycle.

1220
01:20:36,933 --> 01:20:39,568
I don't want to see
my grandchildren

1221
01:20:39,602 --> 01:20:40,736
go down this path.

1222
01:20:40,769 --> 01:20:42,638
I don't want to see...

1223
01:20:44,707 --> 01:20:46,742
...my children continue to do

1224
01:20:46,775 --> 01:20:48,544
the little things that they do.

1225
01:20:48,577 --> 01:20:51,814
Mm-hm. How old were you
when your son died?

1226
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:54,517
-That was six years ago.
-And how did he die?

1227
01:20:54,550 --> 01:20:57,887
-He was murdered.
-Wow.

1228
01:20:57,921 --> 01:20:59,155
Yeah.

1229
01:20:59,188 --> 01:21:02,525
And it was the result of...

1230
01:21:02,558 --> 01:21:06,996
I'm not gonna say
it was my fault, but I know

1231
01:21:07,030 --> 01:21:10,533
my thought process
played a key part in it

1232
01:21:10,566 --> 01:21:13,836
and my environment.

1233
01:21:13,869 --> 01:21:15,104
Let me ask you this:

1234
01:21:15,138 --> 01:21:18,975
What are you willing to do
to stop it?

1235
01:21:19,008 --> 01:21:22,011
-Whatever is necessary.
-Oh, that's pretty broad.

1236
01:21:22,045 --> 01:21:24,948
What I find is necessary
for me today,

1237
01:21:24,981 --> 01:21:26,882
I have to be confined somewhere

1238
01:21:26,916 --> 01:21:30,619
for a certain amount of time.

1239
01:21:30,653 --> 01:21:31,988
Okay.

1240
01:21:32,021 --> 01:21:33,889
And, today,
I can sit here comfortably

1241
01:21:33,923 --> 01:21:36,993
and let you know
that it's possible.

1242
01:21:37,026 --> 01:21:39,695
And, you know,
some of this stuff

1243
01:21:39,728 --> 01:21:42,698
may take some time
to get through it,

1244
01:21:42,731 --> 01:21:46,035
but you've got to do the work
and it's got to come from you.

1245
01:21:46,069 --> 01:21:48,004
I know you love your grandkids
and your daughter

1246
01:21:48,037 --> 01:21:50,839
and all this, but they can't...

1247
01:21:50,873 --> 01:21:53,142
Uh-uh. I know that, yeah.

1248
01:21:53,176 --> 01:21:55,644
Okay. I'm gonna
set it up for you.

1249
01:21:55,678 --> 01:21:58,181
I appreciate it.

1250
01:22:00,783 --> 01:22:15,698
*

1251
01:22:15,731 --> 01:22:18,567
*

1252
01:22:24,107 --> 01:22:26,009
Akil, that's my little man.

1253
01:22:26,042 --> 01:22:28,077
He don't even want to be
around me like that.

1254
01:22:28,111 --> 01:22:29,245
I don't know,
maybe 'cause he getting old,

1255
01:22:29,278 --> 01:22:30,746
I don't know what it is.

1256
01:22:30,779 --> 01:22:34,717
But reading that letter,

1257
01:22:34,750 --> 01:22:37,886
I just want to be there
for 'em

1258
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,356
as they get older.

1259
01:22:40,389 --> 01:22:42,058
*

1260
01:22:42,091 --> 01:22:44,093
-Daddy, guess what?
-What?

1261
01:22:44,127 --> 01:22:48,764
I got $20 for doing
110 push-ups.

1262
01:22:48,797 --> 01:22:52,035
The first 50
were with no stops.

1263
01:22:52,068 --> 01:22:54,103
But, then--but then
the second 59--

1264
01:22:54,137 --> 01:22:56,105
Do 50 straight right here now.

1265
01:22:56,139 --> 01:22:58,941
I can do 20 straight.

1266
01:23:08,817 --> 01:23:10,086
Is it like this?

1267
01:23:10,119 --> 01:23:13,822
Push up, straighten
your body out, the back.

1268
01:23:13,856 --> 01:23:14,890
Hey, what are you doing?

1269
01:23:14,923 --> 01:23:16,792
Your arms are too in.

1270
01:23:16,825 --> 01:23:19,362
Diamond, this helps you.

1271
01:23:33,309 --> 01:23:34,777
*

1272
01:23:38,847 --> 01:23:42,185
Seven, eight, nine, ten,

1273
01:23:42,218 --> 01:23:45,754
eleven, twelve,
thirteen, fourteen...

1274
01:23:45,788 --> 01:23:49,092
Hey, Justin,
you're the same exact age

1275
01:23:49,125 --> 01:23:52,295
Emmanuel was when he got
his first video camera

1276
01:23:52,328 --> 01:23:54,963
and started recording
everything.

1277
01:23:54,997 --> 01:23:58,033
Right, mm-hm.

1278
01:23:58,067 --> 01:24:01,170
It's almost like
I'm witnessing it

1279
01:24:01,204 --> 01:24:04,973
all over again, like it's been
a rerun, you know?

1280
01:24:05,007 --> 01:24:06,842
Does that mean I got--
does that mean I got

1281
01:24:06,875 --> 01:24:08,444
eleven more years until I die?

1282
01:24:08,477 --> 01:24:10,879
Oh, no!

1283
01:24:10,913 --> 01:24:13,682
Uh-uh, don't say that!

1284
01:24:15,484 --> 01:24:16,485
Mm-mm.

1285
01:24:16,519 --> 01:24:17,720
Twelve, sir!

1286
01:24:17,753 --> 01:24:18,787
Thirteen, sir!

1287
01:24:18,821 --> 01:24:19,788
Fourteen, sir!

1288
01:24:19,822 --> 01:24:20,789
Fifteen, sir!

1289
01:24:20,823 --> 01:24:21,790
Sixteen, sir!

1290
01:24:21,824 --> 01:24:22,458
Seventeen, sir!

1291
01:24:22,491 --> 01:24:23,459
Eighteen, sir!

1292
01:24:23,492 --> 01:24:24,793
Nineteen, sir!

1293
01:24:24,827 --> 01:24:26,028
Twenty, sir!

1294
01:24:26,061 --> 01:24:29,064
-All the white belts, stand up!
-Yes, sir!

1295
01:24:29,098 --> 01:24:31,334
Okay, the judges want
to see that all together

1296
01:24:31,367 --> 01:24:32,868
as one team.

1297
01:24:32,901 --> 01:24:33,869
Again.

1298
01:24:38,974 --> 01:24:40,843
*

1299
01:24:40,876 --> 01:24:43,078
-Ha!
-Good, white belts, yeah?

1300
01:24:43,112 --> 01:24:45,013
Yes, sir!

1301
01:24:45,047 --> 01:24:48,917
-Face the window.
-Yes, sir!

1302
01:24:48,951 --> 01:24:51,019
White belts,
take off that belt.

1303
01:24:53,489 --> 01:24:58,461
*

1304
01:24:58,494 --> 01:24:59,895
Justin Sanford!

1305
01:25:02,165 --> 01:25:06,935
*

1306
01:25:06,969 --> 01:25:08,771
Justin, congratulations.

1307
01:25:08,804 --> 01:25:09,838
Thank you, sir.

1308
01:25:09,872 --> 01:25:11,874
Turn around, hold it up.

1309
01:25:11,907 --> 01:25:13,509
-Give him a hand.
-Go, Justin!

1310
01:25:13,542 --> 01:25:15,043
Hold it up high!

1311
01:25:15,077 --> 01:25:17,413
Eh, Justin!

1312
01:25:17,446 --> 01:25:30,092
*

1313
01:25:34,163 --> 01:25:37,566
All righty!

1314
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,134
I'm so proud of you!

1315
01:25:39,168 --> 01:25:41,069
-Hang it up there.
-Oh, boy!

1316
01:25:41,103 --> 01:25:43,806
You got the real yellow belt.

1317
01:25:43,839 --> 01:25:47,443
-I told you.
-My baby got a yellow belt!

1318
01:25:47,476 --> 01:25:49,878
He's on his way.

1319
01:25:49,912 --> 01:25:52,415
He's on his way.

1320
01:25:52,448 --> 01:26:01,457
*

1321
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:03,559
This is what has to be done.

1322
01:26:03,592 --> 01:26:05,394
*

1323
01:26:05,428 --> 01:26:07,263
I'm not the person
that I could have been

1324
01:26:07,296 --> 01:26:09,097
for my children,
and I'm not the person

1325
01:26:09,131 --> 01:26:12,167
I could be
for my grandchildren.

1326
01:26:12,201 --> 01:26:15,571
I'm 61, and it has
cost me my life.

1327
01:26:15,604 --> 01:26:17,139
*

1328
01:26:17,172 --> 01:26:19,242
I'm going to detox

1329
01:26:19,275 --> 01:26:23,546
'cause I want to be
totally abstinent.

1330
01:26:23,579 --> 01:26:38,461
*

1331
01:26:38,494 --> 01:26:41,997
*

1332
01:26:46,635 --> 01:26:50,172
*

1333
01:26:50,205 --> 01:26:53,175
For the last 12 years,
he's repeatedly picked up

1334
01:26:53,208 --> 01:26:56,379
drug charges
and distribution charges.

1335
01:26:56,412 --> 01:27:02,084
At this point, we feel that
some jail time is appropriate.

1336
01:27:02,117 --> 01:27:04,186
Ms. Cresta-Savage,
on behalf of Mr. Sanford.

1337
01:27:04,219 --> 01:27:06,355
I don't think anything
would be served

1338
01:27:06,389 --> 01:27:09,191
by incarcerating this individual
at this time.

1339
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:10,393
He's been on time
for every hearing,

1340
01:27:10,426 --> 01:27:12,928
he's been very conscientious
about this,

1341
01:27:12,961 --> 01:27:14,997
and I believe that he's turning
his life around

1342
01:27:15,030 --> 01:27:18,501
and can prove to the court
that he will continue to do so

1343
01:27:18,534 --> 01:27:20,068
given that he's employed

1344
01:27:20,102 --> 01:27:23,138
and taking care of his family,
et cetera.

1345
01:27:23,171 --> 01:27:24,473
I think if you hang time
over his head,

1346
01:27:24,507 --> 01:27:26,509
he'll show you
that he'll be worthy

1347
01:27:26,542 --> 01:27:28,377
of probation, Your Honor.

1348
01:27:28,411 --> 01:27:29,645
And, Mr. Sanford,
do you maintain

1349
01:27:29,678 --> 01:27:32,114
your employment with Giant?

1350
01:27:32,147 --> 01:27:35,217
Okay, and what are your
job responsibilities there?

1351
01:27:40,289 --> 01:27:43,191
Okay, and are your children
currently residing with you?

1352
01:27:47,262 --> 01:27:51,233
Okay, and, Mr. Sanford,
what would you attribute

1353
01:27:51,266 --> 01:27:54,337
your turnaround
with your drug testing to?

1354
01:27:54,370 --> 01:27:55,704
What do you think
has been the cause of that?

1355
01:27:55,738 --> 01:27:57,239
What's been most helpful
for you?

1356
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:11,420
Okay, well, in this case,

1357
01:28:11,454 --> 01:28:13,055
I think Mr. Sanford
should be commended

1358
01:28:13,088 --> 01:28:16,158
for the fact
that since February 16th

1359
01:28:16,191 --> 01:28:19,061
he appears to have refrained
from any illicit drug use

1360
01:28:19,094 --> 01:28:22,197
as well as maintain
stable, verifiable employment.

1361
01:28:22,230 --> 01:28:25,133
And so, in this case,
I'd be inclined to agree

1362
01:28:25,167 --> 01:28:27,436
with the defense that I think
it would be a disservice

1363
01:28:27,470 --> 01:28:30,105
to the community
and a disservice to Mr. Sanford

1364
01:28:30,138 --> 01:28:32,441
who has achieved
a level of stability

1365
01:28:32,475 --> 01:28:35,010
to take Mr. Sanford
out of the community

1366
01:28:35,043 --> 01:28:37,112
perhaps only to disrupt
the substantial progress

1367
01:28:37,145 --> 01:28:38,614
-that he's made.
-Okay.

1368
01:28:42,518 --> 01:28:46,922
*

1369
01:28:46,955 --> 01:28:50,192
The judge, instead of
incarcerating me,

1370
01:28:50,225 --> 01:28:52,528
she gave me probation.

1371
01:28:52,561 --> 01:28:53,896
*

1372
01:28:53,929 --> 01:28:56,932
I feel ecstatic,
relieved, joyful

1373
01:28:56,965 --> 01:28:59,768
because instead of hanging
with my son,

1374
01:28:59,802 --> 01:29:02,705
I could be sitting
in a jail cell.

1375
01:29:02,738 --> 01:29:04,807
Come on over.

1376
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:08,811
But like I said, the judge,
she's seeing something in me

1377
01:29:08,844 --> 01:29:11,714
that I'm seeing now, a change.

1378
01:29:11,747 --> 01:29:20,556
*

1379
01:29:25,761 --> 01:29:28,697
You know,
since I've been in here,

1380
01:29:28,731 --> 01:29:32,935
I've had a lot of time to think
about a lot of things,

1381
01:29:32,968 --> 01:29:36,505
and you and I have not had
one moment

1382
01:29:36,539 --> 01:29:39,241
where you and I grieved together
about Emmanuel.

1383
01:29:39,274 --> 01:29:40,275
Mm-hm.

1384
01:29:42,110 --> 01:29:45,280
At one time,
I was very angry with you

1385
01:29:45,313 --> 01:29:47,883
and I felt like

1386
01:29:47,916 --> 01:29:50,919
it was your fault.

1387
01:29:50,953 --> 01:29:54,623
But I don't harbor
those feelings anymore.

1388
01:29:54,657 --> 01:29:59,528
I'm not angry anymore,
and I don't blame you anymore.

1389
01:29:59,562 --> 01:30:02,631
I just ask you to forgive me.

1390
01:30:02,665 --> 01:30:04,967
You have a life that you have
to live for your children.

1391
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:06,702
And the main thing
I want you to know

1392
01:30:06,735 --> 01:30:12,007
is I don't want my mistakes
that I made with you,

1393
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,710
for you to make
the same mistakes

1394
01:30:14,743 --> 01:30:18,013
in the rearing
of your children.

1395
01:30:18,046 --> 01:30:20,983
My decisions I made, I don't
blame you for none of that.

1396
01:30:21,016 --> 01:30:22,985
Like, in my phone
I got "Number One Ma"

1397
01:30:23,018 --> 01:30:24,687
'cause I love you, you know.

1398
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,322
I don't, you know,
you're the number one mom to me,

1399
01:30:27,355 --> 01:30:28,624
you know what I'm saying?

1400
01:30:28,657 --> 01:30:29,892
I moved forward, you know.

1401
01:30:29,925 --> 01:30:32,127
It's like I always think
about Emmanuel,

1402
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:35,731
but like you said,
I still have my children

1403
01:30:35,764 --> 01:30:38,701
and my own life, so I don't
want to be depressed daily,

1404
01:30:38,734 --> 01:30:39,968
so I try to, you know,

1405
01:30:40,002 --> 01:30:41,804
I just think
about positive stuff,

1406
01:30:41,837 --> 01:30:45,207
and I want you to do the same.

1407
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,210
It makes me...

1408
01:30:48,243 --> 01:30:49,812
very happy.

1409
01:30:49,845 --> 01:30:51,614
And I'm grateful

1410
01:30:51,647 --> 01:30:54,349
that you don't hold
any grudges against me

1411
01:30:54,382 --> 01:30:58,286
or feel that I was a bad mom.

1412
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,990
Thank you for saying that here.

1413
01:31:02,024 --> 01:31:04,827
-I love you.
-Love you, too, honey.

1414
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:24,379
*

1415
01:31:26,849 --> 01:31:35,357
