Give us a little more credit.

- Yeah mom, you've been dropping hints all week

about breakfast in bed, so here it is.

- Well I'm glad you two picked up the hints.

Oh, oh, oh okay.

Hey.

- To the left.

I don't see it.

- Oh baby, you know what?

I forgot I moved it.

I'm sorry.

It's actually under the bed.

It should be right underneath me.

It should be right here right underneath me.

- Under the bed.

Under the bed.

(bright music)

- [Bria] To the left by the shoe.

- [Steven] No, I think that's a shoe.

- [Bria] By the umbrella.

(bright music)

- You're messing.

Are you giving me the run around?

Okay, because I don't have time for this.

You know I need my present.

- [James] Okay, baby.

You see, what had happened was-

- No, no, no, no.

Dr. Ronald Kelly the third, you better have something for me

or this doctor's gonna need a doctor.

- Baby, just calm down, okay, and have some breakfast.

- No, I don't want breakfast.

- Calm down.

- Don't tell me to calm down.

- Dad, would you please give it to her before she has a cow.

- What's going on here?

- Baby, breakfast in bed, okay.

Come on.

- No.

- Just eat a little breakfast

and I promise I'll give it to you.

I promise.

- [Meagan] No.

- Please.

Please.

- [Steven] Please, Mom, please.

Pretty, pretty please with cherries on top.

- Breakfast in bed, come on.

- Fine.

(bright music)

Just a little.

Hope you enjoy your breakfast.

(bright music)

- Mm, that looks good, too.

- It tastes good?

- Yeah.

Might wanna wipe.

- Oh my God.

- Ha, ha, ha.

- You didn't.

Baby, you didn't.

- Yes, I did.

There you go.

- Oh, babe.

That's beautiful, yes.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Now baby, how could you ever think

I would forget our anniversary?

- You had me going for a little bit.

It's beautiful, babe.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

- You love it?

- I love it and I love you.

- And I love you.

- Oh my god.

- Okay, this is our cue to bounce.

- Honey, where the kids go?

(crickets chirping) (dog barking)

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Y'all cut that out.

We don't wanna be late.

- [Meagan] Don't worry about it.

- You look beautiful, babe.

- [Meagan] Aw thanks, babe.

- Ew.

- Hush, boy.

- All right, I want you to make sure

that all of these doors are locked

and Steven, you're going to bed at nine.

- Aw mom, can I stay up late?

- Steven, you heard your mother.

Nine o'clock is bed time.

- Fine.

I'm just gonna lie in bed and not close my eyes.

- Whatever.

Look, the dinner's in the oven.

Just make sure you-

- Mom, I got this.

You guys go and have a good time.

I will go and get your coats for you.

- Steven, is there a problem?

- Yes, you treat me like I'm five sending me to bed at nine.

- Watch your tone.

- Here you go, Mom.

Very elegant.

Here you go, Steven.

- I don't need these.

- Hey, hey, Steven.

- Here you go, Dad.

- [Steven] You don't have to suck up to them.

- Shut up.

Very GQ.

- You know, if I wasn't in my right mind,

I'd think this child is trying to get rid of us.

- Are you serious?

I love you guys, okay.

I just want you guys to go out and have a great anniversary.

I mean, what else would somebody want for their parents?

- Are you ready, baby?

- Mm hm.

And don't forget call me if you need anything, okay?

- [Bria] You'll be the first person I call.

- Besides 911.

- [Bria] Shut up.

- I love you.

- [Bria] Love you, too.

- I love you, Steven.

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

- [Bria] Bye.

- And be good and don't forget to feed the dog, all right.

- Yes.

Okay Steven, time for bed.

- No, Mom said I go to bed at nine.

- No, you're not because I have plans.

- You're trying to call up your friends

and have a party, aren't you?

- No, I'm not.

- Then why do you have your phone out?

- Look, why don't you go into the kitchen,

make yourself a big bowl of ice cream

with chocolate syrup and lots of sprinkles,

take into your room, play video games.

- I'm not buying it.

Look, I know your game and this is gonna cost you

or I will call mom and dad

and tell them about your little party.

- Fine, 10 bucks.

Take it or leave it.

- Please, that ain't crap.

$25 and I stay up until 12.

- Take it, you little extortionist.

- You better not be shortchanging me either.

Good doing business with you.

- Get out of here.

I don't want you creeping on my friends.

- Whatever.

They're losers anyways.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight, loser.

Hey, Kennedy.

Yes, they're gone.

Yes, I got the little weasel asleep.

Just get everybody together, please.

I will give you your money when you get here.

- I'm so proud of Bria.

- So am I.

- She's a good girl.

- She's maturing tremendously.

- Go 'head, Bria.

Let's hear your juicy secret.

- Well, I was thinking about wearing this for Evan.

- [Girls] Ooh.

- Go, girl.

- Girl, your parents are gonna kill you.

- Not if you keep your big mouth shut.

- Exactly.

- He is going to lose his mind.

- And lose all his respect for you at the same time.

- Exactly why did I invite you to this party?

- Because I paid for all the food.

And by the way, all y'all heifers owe me $10.58 a piece.

- [Man] Hey, you got a light?

Meagan.

Baby, don't die.

Meagan.

God.

(sirens blaring)

- Mr. Kelly, I just need to ask you a few more questions.

- Look, enough with the questions.

Shouldn't you be out there looking for the killers?

- We're doing everything we can to find them, Mr. Kelly.

Can you describe what the assailants were wearing?

- Yeah.

Black hoodies.

I couldn't see their faces.

It was dark, you know.

Everything happened so fast.

- I understand.

How many were present?

- It was two.

Enough with these questions, man.

Just go find the damn killers.

- Mr. Kelly, I understand you're grieving,

but I need to ascertain as much information

as possible to find the assailants.

Can you just work with me?

- Whatever, man.

Sure, sure.

- So you said they took a necklace from your wife, right?

- Yeah.

It was an anniversary gift.

- Can you describe it?

- It was a diamond necklace that draped down from her neck.

- Thanks.

We'll alert all the pawn shops in the area

to keep a lookout for it.

- I'll take it from here, officer.

Kelly, I'm Detective Jackson.

I just wanna tell you that I'm sorry

to hear about your wife.

- Thank you.

I mean, Detective is there any new clues, anything?

You guys got anything?

- No, but don't worry.

We do have Chicago finest surveying the crime area.

- Chicago finest.

- Yeah.

- Well I feel a whole lot better now.

- Mr. Kelly, I am sorry about your loss,

but we can do without sarcasm.

- Do you blame me?

You guys can't even fix the gang violence here in this city.

- We're doing the best we can, Mr. Kelly.

- Well it's not good enough.

These gangs are ruining our city.

(phone ringing)

And now my Meagan is dead.

- Excuse me one moment.

Jackson.

Yeah.

(radio chattering)

- Hey Jackson, we just got a tip

that it was gang initiation night.

- Hold on.

Give me one moment.

- You guys need a tip to know that it was gang related?

- [Officer] Mr. Kelly, I promise we'll find those bastards.

- Well I hope you find those bastards before I do.

- [Jackson] Look hey, we just got an APB on those suspects.

Hopefully we'll get something.

- I doubt it.

I doubt it.

You know what you guys should be doing?

You should be surveilling the neighborhood

to see if you can find some guys,

crazies running around here with black hoodies on.

- I've already taken care of that, Mr. Kelly.

- So what you want me to do, hm?

Just go home and wait for your phone call, huh?

- [Jackson] I'm afraid so, Mr. Kelly.

Look, we can't do anything until we find a lead.

I'm truly sorry.

We'll be in touch.

It looked a hot mess.

(girls laughing)

It looked like a chemistry experiment

(girls laughing)

- Wait, I have the same hairstyle.

- And it looks really good on you, Britt.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Sh, you hear that?

Somebody's coming.

(soft dramatic music)

- Hey, Dad.

- Hey, Mr. Kelly.

- Hi, Mr. Kelly.

- We were just studying.

- Hey guys, listen.

I have to talk to Bria alone.

You can see yourselves out.

- [Girl 1] Yes, sir.

- Yeah.

Bye, Mr. Kelly.

- [Girl 2] Bye.

- [Girl 3] Bye, Mr. Kelly. - [Girl 4] Bye, Mr. Kelly.

- [Girl 5] Bye, Mr. Kelly.

- [Girl 6] Bye, Mr. Kelly.

- All right.

Look Mr. Kelly, I didn't have anything to do with this.

I told them it was a horrible idea,

but if I were you, I would check in the bag.

- Dad, I know what this looks like,

but we really were studying.

Please don't listen to them.

- That's okay, baby.

Bria-

- Dad, I know what you're gonna say.

I'm grounded for three months.

No video games.

No cellphone.

No friends.

No computer.

Which is a lot better than what Mom would give me but.

- Baby, I need to talk to you about your mother.

- Where is Mom?

Dad, what's wrong?

You're scaring me.

What about her?

Where is she?

You guys left together.

Dad, why are you crying?

(soft music)

- Your mother is gone.

- Gone, gone?

Gone where?

You guys left together.

- Bria, she's dead.

(soft music)

- No, she can't be.

No Dad, you're lying.

She can't be dead.

She can't be dead.

- I'm not lying, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I tried to stop him, baby.

I couldn't help her.

I'm so sorry.

(girl crying) (soft music)

I tried to stop him, baby.

I wish it was me.

- How did this happen?

- She was shot.

They killed her.

- This was gang related, wasn't it?

(soft music)

- Police seem to think so.

(soft music)

- So, we move all the way out here to get away

from that stuff and this happens?

- You know this was home for Meagan.

She loved this city.

(soft music)

- So what are we supposed to do?

- [James] We're gonna pray to God.

- [Bria] She can't be dead.

She can't be dead.

We need her.

She can't be dead.

(soft music)

(pensive music)

- On behalf of the Kelly family,

we would like to thank each and every one of you

for coming out today to celebrate Meagan's life.

Meagan was a lot of things to a lot of people.

She was also a grade school teacher.

So we think today would be befitting

to have some of the students

from Beaker Elementary come up

and say a few kind of words about their teacher

that they call Mrs. Kelly.

- At first, I wasn't gonna come up here

because I was scared, but my mother told me

that I was coming up here no matter what

because Mrs. Kelly always stood up for me

when people started bullying me

because I was in special need classes.

She was the first teacher to step out,

forcing them to stop.

Most people don't know this,

but when my family was going through hard times financially,

she helped us out

and she never asked us to pay her back.

That's just the kind of teacher Mrs. Kelly was.

She loved her students unconditionally

and we loved her right back.

We'll never forget you.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Kelly.

(pensive music)

- The Shelter for the Battered Women of Chicago

would like to present this certificate of appreciation

to the Kelly family on behalf

of Meagan's tireless work ethics.

Meagan helped us raise over $150,000

for victims of domestic violence

and homeless children and women.

It's because of her that we're able

to save so many lives.

She would truly, truly be missed.

- Go on.

You can do it.

- I would personally like to thank everyone

for saying such beautiful words about my daughter,

but we can't forget about the elephant

that's sitting in the room.

My daughter was gunned down

on the streets of Chicago like an animal.

And for what?

Material things?

We have got to come together and take back our city

from these thugs and gang members.

Every time I turn on the news,

I see someone being shot down my gang members and thugs.

It has to stop.

And it has to stop today.

(soft dramatic music)

- My mama's right.

It is time for us to take a stand for justice.

It's time for us to join hands in unity

to fight the criminals that are ruining Chicago.

(soft dramatic music)

- Today, it is my daughter who's being memorialized.

Tomorrow, it could easily be yours.

(soft dramatic music)

- Amen.

(soft dramatic music)

You know what?

All lives matter.

All lives matter.

All lives matter.

(soft dramatic music)

(pensive music)

- I don't mean to be rude,

but was there a reason why you called me in today?

- Well first let me say this.

I believe you are the finest surgeon on my staff today

and I really appreciate the hard work

that you've done in the past for us.

- Well, thank you.

Thank you so much.

But why do I feel like you're about to drop a bomb on me?

- I do have some news that's a bit unsettling.

- Go 'head.

Lay it on me.

- Well.

After reviewing this year's physical report,

the board of directors has realized they're gonna have

to make some tough decisions,

which of course means budget cuts.

- So what does that mean for me?

- One of the budget cuts.

They're asking to layoff four doctors.

- And I assume that I'm one of them.

- Yeah, I'm afraid so.

(pensive music)

- You know my life keeps getting better.

- Have you ever thought about relocating outside of Chicago?

- I never gave that much thought.

- The reason I ask, I have an associate.

A dear friend in Atlanta.

He's opening up a new hospital and he reached out to me

looking for a new head surgeon.

It's just calling out your name

and if you're interested,

I'd be happy to put in a good word for you.

- You know, I don't know right now.

Yeah, I have to talk to my children

and at least get their opinion about this.

But can you give me a few days to think about it?

- Of course.

Absolutely, we will.

We'll talk again in a few days.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Thanks, James.

- [James] Thank you.

(man laughing)

- Wow, Dad.

I still can't believe you let us eat all of this junk food.

- Me either.

- Well believe it, kiddos, 'cause that's how I roll.

- Oh Dad, would you please stop?

- What?

Your old man is cool.

- No, you're not.

- Your friends seem to think so.

- Like who?

- Remember Jennifer?

She thought I was the coolest dad in the whole wide world.

- Daddy, she just wanted you to buy her

that stupid bag of candy.

Let's face it.

You got played, old man.

- You got played hard, Dad.

- Whatever, I still got game.

I don't know what y'all talking about.

- Lord, would you please stop?

- It's okay, Dad.

I think you're cool.

- That's what I'm talking about.

That's my boy. - You would.

- You know what?

One slice of coconut cream pie for my boy Steven.

- So Dad, lay it on us.

- What are you talking about?

- Well usually you force all

that healthy crap down our throats.

Now you're giving us pie, chips, soda.

What's the deal?

- Well I guess I do kind of have an ulterior motive.

- I knew it.

What is it?

- Well I lost my job today.

- What?

- Yeah.

- So does that mean that we're gonna be poor now?

- No, no, son.

We're gonna be just fine.

Just fine.

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, okay?

- Good because I am accustomed to a certain lifestyle

and I am not prepared to lose it.

- Me too.

- But the good news is I've just been offered an opportunity

to be the head surgeon at another hospital.

- Dad, why didn't you start off with that before?

I can't believe you're actually

gonna run an entire hospital.

- Yes, that's a blessing, right?

- So how much more money does it pay?

- Really?

- None of your business, Mr. Wall Street.

- Can't blame a guy for trying.

- Well, does this mean that we're gonna have

to change houses and schools?

- Yes.

And yes.

- This is a dream come true.

I've always wanted to go to a private school.

- And I could use a bigger room.

- Well, there's only one catch.

- Uh oh.

- What is it?

- The job is in Atlanta.

- Like Atlanta, Georgia?

- Yes.

- That's so far away.

- I know, baby girl, but this is such

a great opportunity for me.

- But Chicago's our home.

- I know, baby.

I know.

But just think about it like this.

I mean, you'll be able to make new friends.

Do all those things that you always wanted

to do in Atlanta and even more.

Bria, are you okay?

- I know this is a great opportunity and all,

but I just feel like if we leave Chicago,

we'll be leaving behind Mom.

- Baby girl.

Meagan will always be in our hearts and our memories.

We're never leaving home without her.

Ever, okay?

- Okay.

- And besides, I think Meagan would love for us

to take advantage of this opportunity.

God has blessed us with it.

- So, guess we're moving to Atlanta.

- We're gonna move to Atlanta, guys.

- And I get to find me a southern belle.

- You're worse than him.

(upbeat music)

Dad, please don't forget about the meeting

with the realtor today.

- Okay, baby girl, I promise I won't.

- Good because I'm sick of living in this hotel.

- Me too.

- Steven, you know you can't wear that shirt to school.

- Why not?

- 'Cause your school has a dress code.

You know this.

- Well, I think a dress code is stupid.

- Fine, just get it changed please.

- Dad, you worry about yourself

and I'll take care of Steven.

Okay Steven, go change your shirt.

- What about breakfast?

- You'll get breakfast when you're done changing.

- [Steven] Fine. - I'm not gonna be late

on my first day of school because of you.

- That's the spirit, baby girl.

- I'm just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

- [Weatherman] Rain is expected later today.

- What's so funny?

- Nothing.

Just thinking about how happy Meagan would be

if she was here with us.

- I think she's looking down on us smiling,

wishing us the best.

- [Weatherman] Live at the weather center,

I'm WSB meteorologist.

- Man, I hate this shirt.

- Well get used to it

because you're gonna be wearing it a long time.

- Steven, you look fine.

Bria, what are you doing?

- Making sure my hair and makeup look good

for the first day of school.

- [James] You look beautiful, baby girl.

Come on, let's go.

We're already late.

- [Akira] Please, call me Akira.

- Nice to meet you, Akira.

Please, call me James.

- Oh okay, James.

Let's go take a look.

- Well I surely hope the inside is

as beautiful as the outside.

- Oh yes.

And if you come right this way,

we have our open concept kitchen

that looks out to your formal living room.

- [James] Oh my God.

I love this oak.

- [Akira] Yeah, you can see everything from here.

Isn't this beautiful?

And you have a gas stove as well.

- Wow, look at this.

My kids would absolutely love this.

- [Akira] Isn't it great?

- Yes.

Does the furniture come with the house?

- I can always try to work it into the offer.

- That would be great.

- Oh, but I'm sure your wife would like

to add her own touches, right?

- It's just me and the kids.

Unfortunately my wife, she passed away about six months ago.

- Oh, I'm really sorry.

- You're fine.

You had no way of knowing that.

- True but I'm sure it's still quite painful for you though.

- Yes, yes, it is.

But we moved here to start anew.

- Sometimes change can be good.

At least it was for me.

- Yes.

Sounds like you have a story.

- Don't we all have a story to tell?

- Yes.

So what's yours?

- Well, I moved to Atlanta, got my real estate license,

and now I'm selling beautiful houses like this

to great people like yourself.

- Well so far you're doing a wonderful job.

- Thank you, thank you.

- So can I see the rest of it?

- Oh sure, as you wish.

Come right this way.

After me.

Right over here we'll go up these stairs.

We have the rest of the bedrooms.

So that's it.

What'd you think?

- I absolutely love it.

Modern furniture.

Granite countertops.

Clean lines.

- I knew you'd love it, but we would have to act fast

because this house won't stay on the market for long.

- Listen, I wanna make an offer.

I just need to talk to my children first.

- Sure, I totally understand.

Just let me know.

We'll write out that offer

and submit it as soon as possible.

- Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

It's always a pleasure.

- Talk to you soon, right?

- Yes, definitely.

I'm just gonna lock up.

Meet me out front.

- [James] Thank you.

(soft music)

- [Bria] Did you find a house?

- [Steven] Yeah Dad, please tell us.

- [James] Okay, okay, all right.

I found a house.

- [Steven] We're gonna be moving.

- [James] Listen to me, listen.

You guys are gonna love the house I promise.

- Yes, get my own.

Whoa, this is awesome.

- It's really very cool, Dad.

- I knew you'd like it.

- I'm gonna go see my room. - Not before me.

- Hey guys, no running.

- Come on, Dad, we just wanna see our new rooms.

(soft music)

- Hey.

- Him and his stupid glasses.

He did all that stalking and still stood me up.

(throat clearing)

Yeah, you stood me up.

- I know.

I'm so sorry.

Just let me explain.

- No.

- Please.

- No.

- Just give me two minutes.

- Two minutes.

- I'm a med student and we have what's called rounds.

They put me on a double shift last night so I.

No way for me to call you.

They wouldn't let me leave.

I'm so sorry.

I bought you lunch.

- I am hungry.

What is it anyway?

- It's my favorite.

Peanut and jelly.

- That's my favorite, too.

- I put a little love in there for you.

- Hold on.

Just wait.

Wait a minute.

(soft music)

Better.

(soft music)

- You have better everything.

- So you're also nice to any girl you meet.

- Just the ones I love.

- Oh, you love me?

- Yeah, actually I'm gonna marry you someday.

We're gonna have babies.

- You're gonna marry me and we're gonna have babies?

Wow, I'm not gonna marry you

and secondly, I'm not having kids

'cause I'm gonna be a TLC dancer (laughs).

(soft music)

- You did good, my brother.

You did good.

- Glad to get your approval, son.

- I have to go FaceTime my friends.

Later, Dad.

- All right.

(soft music)

- You're thinking about her, aren't you?

- Meagan would've loved this house.

- Yeah.

(soft music)

- She always wanted a house like this.

- So then I guess you're making her dreams come true.

- Oh.

- Akira?

- Hey, James.

How's it going?

- Wow.

I didn't know you shopped here.

- Here, let's move out of the way.

- Oh okay.

So how you been?

- [Akira] Great.

- The last six months have been wonderful.

We're all settled in.

- I'm really, really happy

that everything worked out for you.

- I tell you if I had to stay another day in that hotel,

I would've lost my mind.

- Come on, one more day in that plush, cushy hotel?

- With two rambunctious kids?

No way.

You know what?

I have a great idea.

- What's that?

- Why don't you come over for dinner tonight?

- I really don't wanna intrude on your family.

- No intrusion at all.

- Oh, I mean, I'm sure your kids wanna be alone

with their father though.

- No way.

They would love to have company.

Trust me.

- Can I think about it?

- You know, I mean, you gotta eat, right?

- True, true, true.

- You got me into my current home

and you're gonna have my future home as well.

- Well that's what a good realtor does, you know but.

- I'm not taking no for an answer.

But wait, wait.

I know what it is.

I know what it is.

- What's that?

- You got plans already, right?

- Yeah, I kinda do.

- I knew it and I'm sorry.

Beautiful woman like yourself has

to have plans on a Saturday night.

- Well I mean, it's not those kinds of plans.

Trust me, but I mean, I'm cooking dinner for myself

and my cousin Carlos so.

- Oh (laughs).

- It's not funny.

- Sure, whatever you say.

- Well, I mean.

- But I tell you what.

Why don't you and your cousin Carlos

come over for dinner tonight?

- You know, I kinda didn't wanna cook so.

- So it works out.

- What time is dinner?

- Is seven good?

- Sounds good.

And what about the dress code?

- Just be comfortable.

- That's my kind of dinner (laughs).

- Well, it was great seeing you again.

And of course you know the address.

- Yeah (laughs).

- Well I'll see you then.

- See you then.

- You should've worn a tie.

- Akira.

- You better be on your best behavior.

These are classy people.

- Classy people?

He should've took you out to a restaurant to eat there.

(speaking in foreign language)

- Sh.

(doorbell ringing)

(orchestral music)

- Hey, guys.

Welcome.

- Hi, James.

How are you?

This is my cousin Carlos.

- Nice to meet you, Carlos.

(group laughing)

- So the man said, that's not my wife, that's a bear.

(group laughing)

- I don't get it.

- Oh God.

- That's my son.

I tell you.

- Oh wow, I forgot how beautiful this place is.

- Yeah, it's nice.

- I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.

- Oh, so did I.

It's just a little out of my price range.

- Come on, you keep selling houses like this,

you're gonna have one like it or even better.

- I can keep wishing.

- We can make it a reality.

So Carlos, what type of work you do?

- I'm actually a mechanic.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Man, you know I was thinking about

restoring this '65 Mustang that I have in the garage.

- Nice, man.

That's a classic.

- Yes.

- What color is it?

- Candy apple red.

I mean, she needs some work,

but I'm sure a man of your expertise

can bring some life back into it.

- Okay boys, enough with the shop talk, okay.

- Seriously, Dad.

You talk about it all the time.

- Okay fine, fine.

- Can we get dessert now?

- You can have dessert as soon as you clean the table

and clean the dishes.

(soft music)

- You're washing.

I'm drying.

- [Steven] You always get the easy job.

And I know this.

- So, did you guys enjoy dinner?

- Yes, thank you so much for having us.

It was very delicious.

- Yeah, everything was great.

- That pie was awesome.

- Oh thank you, thank you.

- Okay Dad, all finished.

- All right, you guys come along and say your goodbyes.

- Well, it was nice meeting you guys.

- Nice to meet you too, Bria.

- Don't forget about our girls day soon.

- Oh yes, definite.

I'll put that on my schedule.

- Good 'cause I'd love to get away from all these boys.

Good, it was nice meeting you, Carlos.

- [Carlos] Nice meeting you, Bria.

- Later, bruh.

- Take care of yourself, little man.

- Goodnight, beautiful.

- [Akira] Goodnight, Steven.

(soft music)

- Love 'em to death.

But hey look, I really wanna thank you guys for coming over.

We really enjoyed you.

- Well, thank you.

- Thank you so much for having us, James,

and let me know if you decide to restore that Mustang.

Well, I guess I'll wait for you at the car, huh?

- Yeah. - Don't be too long.

- Sure.

I guess I should get going.

- Okay.

Listen, I wanna thank you again for coming over.

- Thank you.

You know, your children were great.

It was a really wonderful meal.

- Thank you.

I mean, great is one word for them.

- They really were and they had great manners.

- Think I found my new babysitter.

- You can count me in.

(soft music)

- You know.

It felt really good to be in the presence

of a beautiful woman again.

After the passing of Meagan,

I didn't think I would be able to enjoy the company

of a beautiful woman again for a long time,

but you made it easy.

I wanna thank you.

- Thank you.

You make it really easy.

You're a stand up guy.

- Thank you.

- Well goodnight, James.

- Goodnight, Akira.

- I should get going.

- Okay.

(soft music)

- I should get going.

Carlos is waiting for me outside.

- Okay, okay.

No problem, sure. - Should go.

- Okay.

(soft music)

(dramatic music)

- Look, I don't have all damn day for this.

Can you get this right?

And make sure they don't know where the hell you're going?

All right.

(speaking in foreign language)

Bye.

Well look, someone saw cloud nine.

- What?

- Don't what me, prima.

This guy likes you.

- No, he's just a client.

- Just a client.

Well, you haven't had this face in years.

- Well what?

Can't a girl smile?

- Look, come on, let's just hit the road.

- Dying to get these shoes off.

Oh.

(dramatic music) (crowd screaming)

(dramatic music)

- What?

What is it?

- I'm having these flashbacks again.

- What do you see?

What flashbacks?

- It's all blurry.

There's all these lights.

I see somebody falling and then it just goes blank.

- You know what?

Forget about these flashbacks and all this thing

that just keeps coming up in your past, all right?

Just gotta move forward.

- You know that's really easy for you to say

considering you didn't lose like half a year of your life.

- Look Akira, maybe look at it this way.

It's maybe a sign from God protecting you.

(dramatic music)

- Maybe, but from what?

- Come on, let's go.

(dramatic music)

- Mr. Jones, I'm gonna get back with you

on that listing tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye.

Now, how was your date with the doctor?

- It was nice.

You know, we had a great evening.

Great meal.

Great conversation.

Just hung out.

- You make it sound so boring.

- Did you have some alone time with him?

- Not at all.

I mean, his kids were there and I brought Carlos with me.

- Now why in the hell did you bring Carlos?

- Girl, I was scared.

Besides, I mean at least I had a friendly face there

in case something happened.

- Girl, I wish I had a young,

handsome doctor interested in me.

- He's way much more than a doctor.

He's wonderful.

He's caring.

He's smart.

He's just really great.

- That's it.

I know something happened

and you're gonna tell me everything.

- Nothing happened, I promise.

- We can do this all day.

- Okay fine, nosy.

If I tell you though, you better promise

that you won't say anything.

- I swear.

Cross my heart. - Kill you.

- Cross my heart.

- We did have a moment alone.

- (chuckles) I knew it.

- Well I mean, it's not what you think though.

I mean, you know, we just talked about the evening.

You know and he led me to believe

that he was interested in me, you know.

- Sounds juicy.

- Yeah, you know, we continued to talk about the evening

and he held my hand and he kissed me

on the cheek really soft and passionate.

It was nice.

- Did you kiss him back?

- No, girl.

I was scared.

- Oh, I hope you didn't blow it.

- I probably did.

- Call him and ask him out for lunch.

- Girl, you're crazy.

I'm not gonna do that.

- No, go 'head.

Call him.

- No.

Do I look desperate?

- You are desperate.

- I beg your pardon.

- When was the last time you had a date?

- All right, listen.

If I call him and he rejects me, I'm gonna kill you.

- He won't reject you.

Call him.

- Okay, okay.

All right.

It's ringing.

Hi, James.

It's Akira.

Great.

Good, I'm glad.

Listen, I wanted to ask you,

by any chance do you wanna grab some lunch with me?

Oh.

No, I totally understand.

Dinner?

Oh.

That sounds great.

Six o'clock?

All right.

Sounds great.

All right, well I'll call you later with the details.

All right.

All right, bye.

(women screaming)

Oh my God.

(soft romantic music)

- Akira, that was one hell of a meal I must say.

Thank you, wow.

- Thank you.

I love it when a man enjoys his meal.

- That I did.

Thank you.

- By the way, I love these flowers.

- Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman.

- Thank you.

- I'm sure you get them all the time, huh.

- I wish.

- Come on.

Don't tell me you're one of those drop dead gorgeous women

with a problem getting a good guy.

- Guilty.

- Well, that's my cue to bounce.

- No wait, I'm not one of those psycho chicks.

- Well, what's the problem then?

- It's a really long story.

- I'm not going anywhere.

So let's hear it.

- Well aren't you all up in my business, aren't you?

- I'm just trying to figure out this conundrum.

- Conundrum?

- Why a beautiful woman like yourself is all alone?

- Well.

Here it goes.

Well apparently, according to the doctors,

I do suffer from short term memory loss.

- Oh.

Retrograde amnesia.

- Exactly.

- So how did this happen?

- According to Carlos, I fell down the stairs

and I bumped my head.

- And you have no recollection of the fall?

- No, not at all.

Not even the trip to the hospital.

- Wow.

You know, as a doctor, memory loss has always fascinated me.

- Don't go using me like one of those lab rats now.

- I promise I won't, okay.

- [Akira] Okay.

- So tell me.

What type of treatments are you ongoing?

- Well, I tried everything.

Don't herbs, medication, supplements.

I even did one of those brain scan thingamabobs.

- Ah, you're talking about

the magnetic resonance image scan.

- Yes, smarty pants.

That didn't even work.

I still don't remember a damn thing.

- Well don't get discouraged because with memory loss,

the brain has an uncanny ability

to recall information at a moment's notice.

- Yeah, that's true, but apparently you know,

with the amount of damage to my temporal lobe,

I may never get my memory back.

- That's quite a story.

- Now you know why I'm single,

so here's your opportunity if you wanna leave.

(soft romantic music)

- I am not going anywhere.

Okay?

So let's just enjoy this evening.

(soft romantic music)

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed tonight.

Everything was perfect.

- It was great.

- Anyway, my kids are probably wondering where I am,

so I'm gonna go 'head and get to them.

- Yeah, sure.

- Well thank you again.

- Thank you.

- I do wanna say that I think I owe you an apology.

- Apology for what?

- Well, the first time we met up, I tried to kiss you

and I think I crossed the line

and I just wanna say I'm sorry.

- Don't worry 'bout it.

I just really had a lot on my mind.

- Like what?

- Well, I usually don't kiss on the first date.

- I can respect that.

You're a good girl.

- Not so much a good girl, but I do have principles.

- That's all right.

Well, I guess I'll go 'head and head out.

Take care.

- Hey.

You know, technically this is our second date.

(soft orchestral music)

- I guess a kiss is long overdue, huh?

(soft orchestral music)

(orchestral music continues)

(soft dramatic music)

You okay?

- Dad, we missed you at movie night.

Steven's been asking about you.

- I know.

I know and I'm so sorry.

Just let me-

- Dad, I'm not young and naive like Steven.

I know what's going on.

- I know you're not young anymore, baby.

This is why I feel the need that I need

to explain what's going on.

- Dad, it just seems to me

like you're really falling for Akira.

I mean, she's beautiful, funny, smart, but she's not mom.

- Baby girl, no one will ever be mom.

Okay yes, I'm falling for Akira and I may even love her,

but no one will ever be mom,

but I think Meagan would want me to move on with my life.

- Me too but I don't know.

Just promise me one thing.

- What is it?

- That you won't stop loving mom.

- Come here.

I promise.

And I love you.

- I love you, too.

- All right.

Well I'm gonna go have some breakfast, okay?

- Okay.

(soft dramatic music)

(pensive music)

You have to admit it was funny.

- Yeah, no, you're right.

You know, Bria, I actually brought you here

'cause I wanted to talk to you.

- You mean woman to woman?

- Yeah, woman to woman.

- I'm listening.

- Bria, I have never ever met a man like your dad.

I mean, he's so kind.

He's so gentle.

And to be totally, totally honest,

I really feel that I'm falling in love with him.

- Whoa, that's heavy.

- Yeah.

And listen, this is why I brought you here.

I wanted to clear the air.

And I want you to know that I will never do anything

to compromise the relationship

that you've ever had with your mother.

- No one can.

- I know.

I know.

You're absolutely right.

And just know that I do understand

how important your mother was

to both you, James, and to Steven

and I know I could never ever take the place of your mother.

- I understand.

- So are we cool?

- Yeah, we're cool.

- Thanks.

You know, I really appreciate you

having this conversation with me.

- Just promise me one thing.

- What's that?

- That you'll love him and be honest with him.

- I will and I do.

- Then you have my blessing.

Make him happy. - Thank you.

Thank you, I will.

Thank you so much, Bria.

(phone ringing) (fax machine whirring)

- Excuse me.

- Yes.

- I have flowers for Miss Akira Santiago.

- Yes, I'm Akira.

- Sign here for me, ma'am.

- [Akira] Thank you.

Thanks.

- You're welcome, enjoy your flowers.

- [Akira] Thank you.

- Ooh, flowers.

That means somebody has been getting action.

- Oh excuse me, these are my flowers and my card.

- You said that you wish you could get flowers

from a gentleman so here are your flowers

from a gentleman who loves you.

Please join me tonight for an evening of romance.

XOXO James.

- My God.

I can't believe he said that he loves me.

- You go, girl.

- I can't get over it.

He really said he loves me.

- And I can't believe you're still standing here.

Go home and get ready.

- You're right.

I gotta do my hair, my makeup.

Oh, yeah.

You're right.

(dramatic music)

- Are you okay?

- No.

Can you get me a bottled water please?

- Are you having flashbacks?

- Yeah.

- What do you see?

- It's a little foggy, but we're at a party.

Apparently just I don't know.

Doing drugs?

- What?

- I can't make it out.

It's just so weird.

- Oh God, I'm sorry.

I wish I could help you.

- You know, it just gets me really frustrated

because I can't put these thoughts together.

I just wanna get my life back.

- Don't worry about it.

It'll all come to you in due time.

Just concentrate on being happy, Akira.

- You know what?

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

- I know I'm right.

Besides, you have a great job, a great man.

You have people who love you.

- You know, you're right.

You're right.

I'm gonna get ready for this night of romance.

- Yes.

- Thanks.

(soft romantic music)

- Well hello, Miss Santiago.

- [Akira] Well hello, Mr. Kelly.

I got your text.

I thought we were going out.

- Welcome to la casa de James.

- You really outdone yourself.

- Well there's more to come.

- Ooh.

I'm intrigued.

- [James] Oh really?

- Yeah.

Wait.

Where are the kids?

- Well the kids are at their friend's house for the weekend.

- Ooh.

- So, that means we have this entire house to ourselves.

- Ooh, vamanos papi.

- Come on, have a seat.

(soft romantic music)

(romantic music continues)

(romantic music continues)

Wow.

You look amazing.

(soft romantic music)

(soft guitar music)

So, we're here.

- Oh my God.

So romantic.

- [James] I'm glad you like it.

- Oh, you have food.

(birds chirping) (soft guitar music)

Mm, mm.

Mm, mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

- Just save a little bit for me.

- It's been 45 minutes, okay.

Ooh, look how cute this is?

- There's a lot of little surprises in there actually.

- Oh, and there's a card.

(soft guitar music)

Akira, been really great spending so much time with you.

When I'm with you, I feel so young and vibrant.

Let's make it last forever.

- Akira Santiago, will you marry me?

(bright music)

- Oh my God.

Yes, James.

Yes.

- She said yes.

Ooh, yes.

She said yes.

(bright music)

(dramatic music) (sirens blaring)

Akira, are you okay?

- I just had another flashback.

- Well, what did you see?

- I saw a lot of lights and I heard a lot of sirens.

People running.

- What do you think it means?

- I don't know, but this really infuriates me.

- Well, look.

Everything will happen the way it's supposed to, okay.

When it comes, it'll come.

- You know what?

Everybody keeps telling me that,

but you know I have to remember what happened in my past.

- You know I have a friend who's a psychiatrist.

He majors in hypnotherapy.

Maybe you should give him a call.

- I really don't believe in that hypnotherapy crap.

- But you've tried everything else.

This might work for you.

- Fine.

I'll give it a shot, you know.

Anything to remember my past.

- Yes.

Great, I'll call him first thing in the morning.

- It just gets me so mad, you know.

People keep telling me to stop remembering

or try to remember my past,

but in order for me to move on to my future,

I just I have to remember what happened.

- Talk to him.

- Hello.

- Oh, hello.

I'm Dr. Clemons.

You must be Miss Santiago.

Hi, please call me Akira.

- Nice to meet you, Akira.

- Thank you.

- [Dr. Clemons] Please have a seat.

Make yourself comfortable.

- Okay.

- Before we begin, I just wanna let you know

that everything that we discover in these sessions

is completely confidential.

- I do appreciate that.

Thanks.

- Before we begin, I'd like to try

some relaxation techniques.

- [Akira] Okay.

- So please sit back in your chair.

Totally relax your arms.

(soft dramatic music)

Your hands.

(soft dramatic music)

Your legs.

(soft dramatic music)

Now your entire body.

(soft dramatic music)

I want you to focus on the black circle

on the wall across from you.

Focus on that so intently

that everything around it fades out.

(soft dramatic music)

Take slow, deep breaths.

In from your nose and out your mouth.

Through your nose.

(soft dramatic music)

And out your mouth.

(soft dramatic music)

Concentrate on my voice.

Your eyes are getting heavy.

(soft dramatic music)

So heavy you cannot keep them open.

(soft dramatic music)

I'm going to count to three and we'll begin our session.

(soft dramatic music)

One.

Two.

Three.

(soft dramatic music)

- No, no.

No.

No, don't.

No, stop.

- [Man 1] Do you understand?

Don't touch it.

(men chattering)

- [Man 2] We don't need a case, man.

We don't need a case, man.

We don't need a case, man.

Shoot him.

- [Man 3] Fuck wrong with you?

I told you not to touch him.

I told you not to touch.

- [Man] 4] Hey, give it to 'em.

- Stop.

- [Man 5] Hey, don't come back.

(men chattering)

- No.

No.

- [Man 2] We don't need a case, man.

We don't need a case, man.

Shoot him.

Hey back up now.

- [Akira] No.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Man 2] Bitch, the fuck wrong with you?

Told you not to touch her.

Told you not to touch.

(men chattering)

Get your punk ass out of here.

Get your ass out.

And don't come back with no money.

- No.

No, don't.

(soft dramatic music)

- Miss Santiago, when I count to three, you will awake.

When you wake up, you will remember your flashbacks.

One, two, three (snaps).

(heavy breathing)

Miss Santiago, how do you feel?

- I'm a little tired.

Oh, thank you.

- Please tell me what you saw.

- I saw myself eating out of a trash can.

And then.

There was a guy with a gun.

He hit me.

Like he slapped me across the face.

And then.

We were at a party and everyone was just doing drugs.

- Did you recognize anybody in your flashback?

- Just one person.

- Okay.

- My cousin Carlos.

- Okay.

Perhaps we can get Carlos to come in

for a couple sessions.

It may stimulate your memory even more.

- No.

I don't think so.

He doesn't even want me to be here.

- Why would you say that?

- I mean, he just wants me to forget about my past

and just let it go and just think about my future.

- Well.

I think we should set up another session soon.

Okay?

- I think you're right.

I mean, this is so unsettling.

I need all of this resolved before I get married.

- That's perfectly understandable.

All right, well I guess I'll see you in the next session.

Okay?

Make sure that you check with my secretary.

(door beeping)

- [Woman] He probably see that this

would be the lesson that he gets.

- Yo prima, where you been?

I haven't seen you in two days.

- Nevermind where I've been, okay.

You have a lot of explaining to do.

- What the heck are you talking about?

You know what?

I'm watching a movie right now, so just chill.

We'll talk later.

- Yeah (speaks in foreign language).

You know where I just came from, Carlos?

- Where did you just come from, Akira?

- I just came from the hypnotherapist.

You know what I found out?

- What'd you find out, Akira?

- I had a flashback with you

shooting up heroine in a basement.

- What?

- Do you care to explain that to me?

- What the hell are you talking about?

- The hell you don't know what I'm talking about.

If you were there shooting up heroine,

that means that I was there with you, right?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

You know what?

On second though, I do have an answer for you.

You're crazy.

You know that?

- I am not insane.

You need to explain to me right now what happened.

- What sane woman would stop planning her wedding

to go to this stupid hypnotherapist meetings

trying to dig deep into her past

when she should be planning her perfect wedding, huh?

- Carlos, it's my life, all right.

You don't know what it's like

to not be able to remember a year of your life.

I lost my family.

My friends.

My job.

I don't remember anything.

Look.

You're the only person that knows

what happened to me last year.

I'm begging you please tell me what happened.

- I wish I could, Akira.

If I had answers, I would give 'em to you, but I don't.

Listen, the best advice I'm gonna give you

is you need to stop visiting this hypnotherapist, okay,

because if you keep digging into your past,

you're gonna open up Pandora's box, all right,

and there's no turning back, all right.

So just think about it.

(door beeping)

(soft music)

- Look Akira, I opened the shop up just for you, okay.

You been in here a minute.

I need you to make a decision ASAP.

I'm closing in five minutes.

- Okay, I promise, Zoey.

- Five minutes.

- [Akira] I promise, Zoey.

Thank you.

(soft music)

- Girl, you tried on every dress in this store.

It's time to make a decision.

You said you wanted vintage.

Here we are.

Pick a dress.

- I know. It's just so hard to choose, you know.

I mean, this is the dress

that James is gonna see me in on our wedding day.

It has to be perfect.

It does.

- Okay, all I know is your wedding is in one month.

It's time to make a decision quick.

(soft music)

Okay, damn.

Okay, it's your wedding.

Take all the time you need.

(soft music)

Akira, what's wrong?

- Oh, nothing.

- You know what?

You've been preoccupied with something all day.

I need to know what it is right now.

- All right.

If you have to know, I've been seeing a hypnotherapist.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, for the past couple of weeks.

- Did you have a breakthrough?

- Not really.

I mean, the flashbacks that I've been having,

they're coming in a lot clearer now.

- Okay, that's a good thing, right?

- You would think so, right?

But I don't know.

Carlos was telling me not to open up Pandora's box.

- Hell, we've all told you to forget about your past.

- I know, but there's a way that he said it this time

that it just it really sent a shiver down my spine.

- Okay, this is beautiful.

What do you think?

- Come on, don't change the subject.

I mean, what do you think I should do?

- I think you should pick out a beautiful wedding dress

and plan for your engagement that's right around the corner.

- I know.

There's just so much to do in such a short amount of time.

You know?

- Now as I can recall you're the one

that said you didn't want a long engagement.

Right?

- I know.

I don't, but I just wish I could just get married to James

and just you know live happily ever after and do it.

- And you will.

Just think of all of the positive things in your life.

- You know, thank you so much for being my maid of honor.

I really don't know what I'd do without you.

- I know.

You're welcome.

Now, go try on these dresses.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Go.

(soft music)

(soft guitar music)

May I have your attention please?

First off I would like to thank everybody

for coming out to share in James and Akira's engagement.

Also, I would like to toast to James and Akira.

I am so happy for the both of you

and I wish you a lifetime, a lifetime of happiness.

- [All] Cheers.

(soft guitar music)

(phone ringing) (soft guitar music)

- Are you fucking kidding me?

Look, I don't have time for this.

You find that witness and you make sure you destroy him.

I don't care.

You do that.

Look, I will waste this witness over her, okay.

You understand that?

Make sure you get the job done.

Okay, all right.

Just a little bit more here.

Almost got it.

Okay, got it.

Yeah, that's it.

- Wow, you're finished already?

- Yeah, man, it was just some new spark plugs.

- Carlos, I appreciate that, man.

How much do I owe you? - Ah, it's on the house.

Don't worry 'bout it.

I got you.

- Thank you so much.

- Oh, you're welcome, man.

Akira's really excited about the wedding, you know.

- Yeah, that's all she ever talks about now,

but you know we're both excited about it.

- Yeah, you know, actually I never really got a chance

to officially congratulate you on the engagement, man.

Congratulations.

- [James] Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

I hope she doesn't get too carried away

with the wedding, man,

because we don't have that kind of money.

- Carlos, don't.

Don't worry about the money at all, okay.

Akira and I agreed that we just want

a small, intimate wedding.

- Oh really, man?

That's shocking, man, 'cause don't all women want

that fairytale wedding, trimmings and everything?

- That's why I love Akira

'cause she's not the average woman.

- Well let me know if there's anything else

I can do to help out.

- You know what?

There is.

- Oh, what is it?

- Stand in for her father

and give her away to me on our wedding day.

- All right, man.

I'll do that for you.

- You know, Carlos, after my wife passed, man,

I never thought that I would find true love again,

but in comes Akira.

- I know it's still painful and hard on you,

the death of your wife.

- It is.

It is.

You know, I keep playing that night over and over in my head

and I keep asking myself what could I have done differently?

- If you don't mind me asking, James, what exactly happened?

- Well that was the night of our anniversary

and we were walking home from a lovely dinner

and these two guys in black hoodies walked up on us

and one asked if I had a light

and I told him I didn't smoke.

Then he pulled a gun out on us.

- And then what happened?

- I gave him my wallet and Meagan gave him her purse.

And the other robber noticed Meagan's necklace

and he tried to take it.

Foolishly, Meagan refused to give it up

and the other robber shot her in the side.

She died in my arms.

- Oh James, I'm sorry about that.

- And they got away.

- So, did the cops ever capture the robbers?

(soft dramatic music)

- You know, I spoke with the Chicago police department

about a month ago.

They said that they were moving the case

from a gang violence to a random killing.

But you know they do have some new leads on the assailants.

- Wow.

Dude, that's one heck of a story, man.

You know it's getting a little late, man.

I gotta get going, man.

It was nice hanging out with you and talking.

- Hey Carlos, thank you.

Thank you for fixing the car, man.

- Oh, you're welcome.

Yeah, anytime, man.

- Okay, take care, Carlos.

- Yeah, likewise.

- Hey Carlos, don't forget about the bachelor party, man.

- [Carlos] Oh, I wouldn't miss it for the world, man.

Have a good one.

- Be safe.

(soft dramatic music)

- Where've you been all day? - Not now, Akira.

Not now.

I need a drink.

- I need for you to try on this suit.

They did the alterations.

- I won't be wearing that suit neither.

- Well what the hell are you gonna wear to the wedding?

- I won't be going to the wedding neither.

- Excuse me.

- Look, I have to get out of town as soon as possible.

- I mean, why do you need to get out of town?

- I have to leave now.

Like right now.

- I mean, what's going on?

- Trust me, you don't wanna know.

- So what's gonna happen now?

- I'm gonna ask you for one favor.

- What is it?

- Don't go back looking, going to that hypnotherapist.

- I have to.

I have to go back to get at least some of this closure.

You won't even finish telling me everything.

- Akira, I am begging you.

If you wanna live a happy life, all right,

forget about your past and focus on your future.

I have to leave. - You can't.

(soft dramatic music)

- We're gonna try some relaxation techniques now, okay?

Now please relax your arms.

- [Man 1] Fuck wrong with you, dog?

(men chattering) (soft dramatic music)

If you don't get your chunky ass out of here.

(men chattering) (soft dramatic music)

Get your ass out of here.

And don't come back with no money.

(soft dramatic music)

Fuck wrong with you, dog?

(phone ringing)

- Detective Jackson.

What?

Really?

Are you sure?

I mean, are you really sure?

Because if so, I'm gonna be on the next plane out.

Good.

All right.

Okay.

I'll see you in a couple hours.

Bye.

(sirens blaring)

(phone ringing) (sirens blaring)

- Yeah.

(sirens blaring)

Yeah, yeah, I know, man.

I didn't think it was gonna get to this point, man.

Fuck.

Well you know what?

I'm leaving, man.

I'm getting the hell out of here.

I'm heading back to Aunt Doula's.

All right man, bye.

(sirens blaring)

(orchestral music)

- Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today

to join James Kelly and Akira Santiago in holy matrimony,

which is an honorable estate.

It's not to be entered into lightly,

but reverently and soberly.

Who give this woman in holy matrimony to the man?

- I do.

- At this time, the groom and bride have decided

to recite their own vows.

- I, James Kelly, take you, Akira Santiago,

to be my lawfully wedded wife because I love you.

You have come into my life

when I needed someone to be there for me and my kids.

You've shown so much love, compassion, and hope.

You see, I believe that when a woman marries a man,

she not only marries him, but his children as well.

- [Minister] Amen.

- Amen.

- Baby, I never thought I would be here again,

but with you I am whole.

I love you with everything in me

and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

- That was beautiful, Brother James.

Akira, you may now recite your vows to your future husband.

- I didn't really prepare any vows,

but I just really wanted to speak from the heart.

James, I've never met anyone quite like you.

You've shown me so much love.

Much more love than I ever thought I deserved.

Now I look around this room and it's like a fairytale.

You're my Prince Charming.

I never wanna wake up from this dream.

You know, I've prayed and I've hoped my entire life

to meet a man like you.

And I thank God every day that he's brought you

and your wonderful children into my life.

It's an honor standing here with you in front of God

and all of these witnesses in saying

that I'm a be your wife.

I love you, James Kelly, and I always will.

- Beautiful words, Akira.

Rings, please.

(soft romantic music)

These rings are a symbol of an inward spiritual bond

that unites two people together in bonds of holy matrimony

for the rest of their lives.

James, repeat after me.

I James, give you, Akira, this ring.

- I James, give you, Akira, this ring.

- As a visual symbol of our vows.

- As a visual symbol of our vows.

- With all that I am.

- With all that I am.

- And all that I have.

- And all that I have.

- I honor you.

- I honor you.

- With this ring I thee wed.

- With this ring I thee wed.

(soft romantic music)

- You ready?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Repeat after me.

I Akira, give you, James, this ring.

- I Akira, give you, James, this ring.

- As a visual symbol of our vows.

- As a visual symbol of our vows.

- With all that I am.

- With all that I am.

- [Minister] And all that I have.

- And all that I have.

(throat clearing)

(dramatic music)

- I came all the way from Chicago for this moment.

- [James] Detective, what's going on?

Can I help you with something? What is this?

- Akira Santiago.

- [Akira] Yes.

- You are under arrest for murder.

- [Akira] What?

What are you talking about?

- [James] Detective, come on.

You must have the wrong person.

(guests chattering)

- [Akira] What are you talking about?

- You must have the-

- Mr. Kelly, I'm sorry.

- Come on, Detective.

- What I'm about to say is gonna shock you.

- You got to have the wrong person, Detective.

- You have to, man.

- Miss Santiago here is the one that murdered your wife.

- What?

- [Akira] No, no, no.

You need to leave.

This is our wedding.

- We're not going nowhere without you.

- Detective, there must be some kind

of misunderstanding here, okay.

Meagan was murdered in Chicago

and as far as I know, Akira has never lived in Chicago.

Right, Akira?

- I don't think so.

- Oh, give it up, Miss Santiago.

You and your cousin Carlos have a rap sheet

from here to hell in Chicago.

- No.

You know, this is our wedding day.

You need to leave now.

- No, we're not leaving without you.

Listen here.

She has been arrested for theft.

- [Akira] What, no?

- Burglary, drug usage, prostitution.

- What?

- [Detective] And now murder.

- No, I didn't kill anybody, James.

I swear.

I didn't murder anybody.

- Did you really kill Meagan?

- [Akira] No, I didn't kill anyone.

- Oh, come on now.

We have lifted up the fingerprints

from the necklace that you stole from Mrs. Kelly.

- [Akira] No, I didn't do it.

- Yes, and then you and your cousin

had sold it to the pawn shop.

- [Akira] No, I didn't-

- We got positive ID from the owner

because we got the videotape.

We got the videotape.

- [Akira] No, I love you, James. I didn't do anything.

- Can't believe you did this.

- It's all over.

- [James] Me and my children?

- I got you now.

I got you, Miss Santiago.

- I trusted you with everything.

I trusted you.

This is how you do?

- [Detective] It's all over.

- Do me in front of my children?

- No, I love you, James.

- I can't believe this.

- I didn't do it.

I swear I didn't.

- You killer.

You killed my mother.

- I didn't do it.

- I told you some many honest things

and you killed my mother.

- It's over with.

- I didn't do it.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Bria] She killed my mother.

(soft dramatic music)

She killed my mother.

(soft dramatic music)

She killed my mom.

(soft dramatic music)

(water sprinkler pattering)

- [Akira] James, I know you must hate me

and I don't blame you.

Please know that I never meant to you or Bria or Steven.

Since I have been in prison,

I have been working with a new therapist

who has helped me gain back most of my memory.

As much as it pains me to say this, I did murder your wife,

and for that I'm totally sorry.

From what I remember,

I had a serious drug problem back in Chicago.

It got so bad that I started prostituting myself

to pay for the addiction.

The night that I gunned down Meagan,

Carlos and I were trying to get money to pay for drugs.

I was shaking so bad when I was holding the gun

that it accidentally went off.

I swear I never meant to pull that trigger.

So when we fled the scene,

we hijacked a car and head straight

to the nearest pawn shop to sell the necklace.

After we got the money, we sped away so quickly

that we crashed the car and I hit my head on the dashboard.

It knocked me unconsciousness

and that caused me to lose my memory.

Carlos was too afraid to take me to the hospital,

so we gassed up that car and got the hell out of Chicago.

And that's how we ended up in Atlanta.

It was at that point that both of us decided

to change our lives by becoming productive citizens.

And that's when I met you.

So this is the whole story.

I swear.

Even though I know that you curse the day that you met me,

there's one beautiful thing

that came out of this relationship.

A baby.

Yes, I am pregnant, and I would like for you

to have full custody of our child

because I will be in here for 20 years and I deserve it.

Just do one thing for me.

Please tell our child how much I love him or her.

Goodbye, James.

I will love you forever.
