who sees these things.
360
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,640
This is the temporary home
of a single mom
361
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,040
and her five and
seven-year-old girls.
362
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,160
They missed school because
her mother was evicted
363
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,840
because she lost her job.
364
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,760
I found them here doing
a welfare investigation,
365
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,520
and they sent me
to remove the kids.
366
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
She gave me these
367
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,080
when she was trying to keep me
from taking her children.
368
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,600
This family had
bed bugs for months.
369
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,440
They couldn't afford
the $523 payment
370
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,400
to get rid of the bed bugs,
371
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,880
or get new bedding and sheets,
372
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,400
so I was sent there to
remove the kids.
373
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,880
70% of the kids
we have in the system
374
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040
are there because of
poverty-related neglect.
375
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,080
Most of what we do would be
376
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840
unnecessary if somebody
would just help these families.
377
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280
The other 30%...
378
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,520
need homes because
their parents are dangerous
379
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,160
and they put
their kids through hell.
380
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,880
Kids like these.
381
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,000
So this is a seven-year-old boy.
382
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,280
We found him in a crack house.
383
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,520
We were able to
place him in a good home.
384
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,200
This was a girl
385
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,040
who was pimped out
by her mother.
386
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,280
We were not able to save her.
387
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Donna: It's like driving by
an accident.
388
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,600
You see the twisted metal and
shattered glass everywhere.
389
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,760
Then you see the victims
lying in that wreckage...
390
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,160
mothers, fathers, the children.
391
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,240
The real devastation.
392
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,400
When that hits you,
393
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,440
you can't just drive by.
394
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,760
[music]
395
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Susan: You are here because
396
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,240
the Department of Protective
and Regulatory Services
397
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:34,240
can't stop this.
398
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,440
And we need your help.
399
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,680
Donna: I like her.
400
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Susan: Pastries, coffee,
we love questions.
401
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,200
What are you thinkin' on?
402
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Diann: I'm thinkin'
403
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,120
you might not be as crazy
as I thought you was.
404
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,560
Maybe we both is.
405
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,160
But I don't feel like it.
406
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,280
I can't even keep
a husband around.
407
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Uh-uh, girl!
408
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,400
Don't take the blame
for that man.
409
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,280
I don't know. But I,...
410
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,600
I can't just sit back and moral
support you after all that.
411
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,440
I can't.
412
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,240
Susan: Terri!
413
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Hey, Terri! Are you in there?
414
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Terri, are you in there?
415
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,480
[cat meows]
416
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:54,400
Yeah. Yeah, no foster mom.
Well, I can't wait here all day.
417
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,920
Yeah. No, I did. I did.
418
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,520
I mean, if she is,
she's not answering it.
419
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,240
[sigh]
420
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,320
Ok, she's here.
I'll call you back.
421
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,400
[sigh]
422
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,360
Miss Nolan.
423
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,840
I've been here two hours.
That is simply unacceptable.
424
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,080
Miss Nolan: I don't control
the bus schedule.
425
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,680
What do you want me to do?
426
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Susan: I'm here for Terri.
427
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,480
What?!
One missed appointment.
428
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,040
You've missed five!
429
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,760
And she wasn't in school either,
so where is she?
430
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Is she home alone?!
431
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,640
Most people work
if you haven't noticed.
432
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,440
I can't take her everywhere.
433
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,720
She's absolutely fine.
434
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,200
Probably made a
mess of everything though.
435
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,320
Susan: Terri! Terri? Terri?!
436
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,120
See? What did I say?
437
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Are you here?
438
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,320
Look at this mess.
Now I need to hire a maid.
439
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,040
Family Services
needs to pay for this.
440
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,120
Terri?
441
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,800
[meows]
442
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Hey, Terri. What do you say
we get out of here?
443
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,280
Terri: Can I take the kitty?
444
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,360
Susan: No, sweetie. I'm sorry.
445
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800
But we should probably
gather your things, yeah?
446
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Oh, here. Use this.
That's for trash.
447
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Hey, did you hear me
knocking out there?
448
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,120
No.
449
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:33,640
Ok.
450
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,200
Where are we going now? Can I
go home with you?
451
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,480
You know I wish you could.
452
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,720
But you are going
to a family this time.
453
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,760
Hey, I'm glad to be talking
to you and not the kitty.
454
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,720
Miss Nolan: Oh, no, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey!
455
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,800
You can't take those toys.
They're my grandkids'.
456
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Terri: No! Give him back!
He's mine!
457
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,160
Susan: Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
458
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,160
Those were bought with county
funds. She can take those.
459
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,080
No, she can't!
That's my hard-earned money,
460
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,000
so she can leave those here.
461
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,960
That girl has big problems
you have no idea.
462
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Some kind of chemical imbalance
or neurolastic issues.
463
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,360
She thinks she's a cat,
for God's sake!
464
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,440
[laughs]
465
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,360
Neuro-elastic? That's
very perspicuous insight.
466
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,200
- I'd love to hear more.
- Miss Nolan: More what?
467
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,920
Of your perspective.
468
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,960
What do you think
her problem is?
469
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,880
She's a mess, I don't know.
470
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,280
Susan: So, neutral operants?
471
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680
What about successive
approximations
472
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,360
with reinforcements?
473
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,120
Positive and negative?
474
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,280
Or classical
conditioning through
475
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,800
systematic desensitization?
476
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,720
What the hell
are you talking about?
477
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,040
Oh, did I lose you?
478
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,520
I think Terri's problem
is mostly environmental.
479
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,640
Repeated exposure
to terrible things.
480
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,960
Like hateful old hags.
Are you with me now?
481
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,800
I don't believe you.
482
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,600
It's a conditioned response.
483
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Everybody has one.
484
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,440
What do you say
we take those toys?
485
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,760
Diann: Why are we taking this
all the way out here?
486
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,440
Donna: Diann, you are asking
too many questions.
487
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,600
I just don't understand.
488
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Just set it over there.
489
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,480
- Ok, we will... wait a minute.
- Slow down.
490
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Alright.
Set it right here.
491
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Yeah. Ok.
492
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,240
Oh! It's WC. He can't
find these. Hm-hm.
493
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,640
WC: LaDonna!
494
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,680
Where is your mama?
495
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,200
Donna: But he doesn't
know about this?
496
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,040
These are just in case.
497
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Diann: No, Donna. No, no. You
are way down this road already.
498
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,960
And he's just gonna see this
when he comes here.
499
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,680
His tools are here.
He ain't comin' in here.
500
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,720
Unless he sees us.
501
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,480
You need to tell him.
502
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Girl, it has been a while
since you had a man.
503
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,680
Look, don't you know
we're on broil,
504
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,600
men are on simmer?
505
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,400
Yeah, that is not
how it was for me.
506
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,680
Oh! Diann!
507
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,360
I'm talkin' about the things
they don't want.
508
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,640
Sometimes you know you got to do
what they don't want
509
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,800
before they know about it.
510
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,160
And when they finally
warm up to it,
511
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,560
you didn't waste no time.
512
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,760
Donna...
513
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,520
you think he's just gonna
warm up to somethin' like this?
514
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,680
You're talking crazy.
515
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,640
Donna: Can you imagine LaDonna
or Prince on their own?
516
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,560
If nobody took them in?
517
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,480
WC: We really gotta talk
about that right now?
518
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,800
Why don't you go and stop
fiddling with that head scarf
519
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,720
and come over here, woman?
520
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,920
How romantic of you.
521
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,480
[kisses]
522
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Oh, you want romance?
523
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,560
I can do that.
524
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,400
[kisses]
525
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,480
Since when?
526
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,360
[laughs]
527
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640
I'm about to show you
romance right now.
528
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,160
Hm...
529
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,400
[music]
530
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,640
[laughs]
531
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720
I'll start with a little poetry.
532
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,080
Oh. No. Please, don't, WC.
533
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,800
Song of Solomon,
534
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,440

in my arms, and he was
trembling and flailing,

terrified
748
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,880

The kids... we want the ones
that nobody else want.
844

- Susan: Hm.
- Jo-beth: Wow.
845
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,400
Well, we definitely need help
with Intensive Level,
846
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,600
our older kids.
847
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,240
What about the
Santiago boys or Terri?
848
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,960

849

WC: Who's Terri?
850
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:37,120
Susan: Hm, Terri is
a 12-year-old girl
851
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:39,280
who's been in care
for three years.
852
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,240
She's with a good family now,
but they just gave notice.
853
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,200
It's been tough finding
a permanent placement.
854
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,560
WC: We'll take her.
855
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,960
Susan: Reverend, First Lady,
856
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,200
I want this to be a good
experience for you.
857
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,720
There are so many other kids
858
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,280
that would be much
easier to handle.
859
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,760
WC: Well, we'll let...
860
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,680
somebody else take care
of those children.
861
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Susan: No. No. Terri
is not a good fit.
862
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,360
All these people that you say
are watching you...
863
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,240
What happens when it doesn't
work out with Terri?
864
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,400
I see a lot of children
coming back to me.
865
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,080
WC: Susan,
866
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,480
this is something
that we must do.
867
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,600
You understand?
868
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:20,160
Susan: Religious guilt can't fix
the broken child's heart.
869
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,080
Donna: Love can.
870
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,800
Real, determined love.
871
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,440
Susan: I have to pick up
the pieces.
872
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,320
When all the lovey-dovey is
gone, the real world hits hard.
873
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,120
It don't matter.
874
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,800
The state ain't no family.
875
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,560
Susan: We don't know the full
extent of the trauma,
876
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,080
but her mother is an addict
and may have pimped her out.
877
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,480
Her boyfriend raped
878
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,960
and tortured Terri
and left her in a ditch.
879
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,120
Her mother subsequently
smothered Terri's older sister.
880
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:04,920
She has attachment issues,
881
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,960
manic episodes, and can resort
to some pretty...
882
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,200
Jo-beth: Unusual...
883
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:10,320
Hm,
884
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,360
unusual coping mechanisms.
885
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,760
She pretends that she's a cat.
886
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,640
When people say that
they want to adopt,
887
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,320
they don't usually mean
kids like Terri.
888
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,400
They're just afraid.
889
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:30,240
That's all. Had to get
your eyes on other things.
890
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,280
I see, we... We got
our eyes on this, right now.
891
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,320
And this is all that we see.
892
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,480
We got over 20 families
893
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,360
that want kids just like Terri,
894
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,840
and any other child
that need a home.
895
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,640
That's just in our little
neck of the woods.
896
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,960
You think about that.
897
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,560
We got churches on every corner.
898
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,000
Every single one.
899
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,440
In each and every one
of them peoples
900
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,600
they done heard the same thing.
901
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,000
There shouldn't be a child
without a home!
902
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,840
We can turn this
whole thing around.
903
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,360
Let me think about it, OK?
I will call you.
904
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,920
Okay. I will call you. OK, OK.
905
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,000
Joyce: Churches?
906
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,040
Yeah. Well, they're
communities.
907
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,200
That's all I care about.
908
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,960
They've locked arms,
they have shared history,
909
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,520
they share burdens.
It's like a much bigger family.
910
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:33,480
Joyce: OK. I'll stick my neck
out and go to bat for this.
911
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,560
I'll get the budget and put
everything I can behind this,
912
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,520
including you and Jo-beth.
913
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,240
But the Martins have to succeed.
914
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:55,280
Donna: Terri, we see Susan
all the time.
915
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,240
Listen, I know you had to stay
in a lot of places,
916
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,960
but you ain't never gonna have
to leave this home, sugar.
917
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,880
I'm gonna take care of
everything you need
918
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,840
from here on.
919
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,040
We're your people now,
920
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,720
so you can call me "Mama".
921
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,720
Terri: OK, Donna...
922
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,360
I'm a cat.
923
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,840
WC: That's what Ms. Ramsey said.
924
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,320
Sounds like a fun game.
925
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,560
You know the other kids
play all kinds of
926
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,280
pretend games round here so,
927
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,760
we got lots to do.
928
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,920
[meows]
929
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,840
LaDonna: What is she doing?
930
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,440
Donna: LaDonna, just get ready
for breakfast. Sit down.
931
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,400
[meows]
932
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,480
We are about to eat, Terri. Keep
your hands clean, OK?
933
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,880
Terri? Let's play kitty later.
934
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,200
We wanna talk, get to
know you more.
935
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:03,720
[meows]
936
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,040
OK, tell us what you like to do.
937
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,720
I'm a cat. [meows and hiss]
938
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,040
You're weird.
939
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,240
- Hey! LaDonna, that's not nice.
Stop it. - Mama!
940
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,880
Mercedes: Do you really think
you're a cat?
941
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,880
Tyler: You're not a cat.
You're a girl.
942
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,960
She's acting like a cat.
943
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,080
[grunts]
944
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,880
WC: Donna... Where's those
chicken livers you saved?
945
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,040
Donna: Oh, they're in there
somewhere. Why?
946
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:24,880
OK. [meows]
947
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,600
WC: Terri.
Hey, Terri.
948
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:30,000
[calls and whistles]
949
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,400
Mercedes: Ew!
950
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,520
WC: Come on. Come on.
951
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,880
[calls and whistles]
952
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,440
There you go.
That's your breakfast.
953
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,760
[meows]
954
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,160
The cats around here got to eat,
955
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,960
you know, chicken livers
and little mice
956
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,560
and things like that.
957
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,040
So, if you want to be a cat,
958
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,760
we're gonna set a plate of food
out for you every day,
959
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,600
and you can sleep out
on the porch.
960
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:59,800
But you got to be watchful of
the raccoons and coyotes and
961
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:03,200
possums and slugs. They get you.
962
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,000
Terri: [meows]
963
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,640
Donna: WC, what have
you done?
964
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,400
Something Solomon would do.
965
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,680
You think that's gonna
make her feel better?
966
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:19,800
WC: Maybe that's why
he had all them wives.
967
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,120
Kept looking for a woman...
968
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,800
that wouldn't question him
all the time.
969
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,120
Terri: I ain't gonna eat that.
970
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:42,960
[meows]
971
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:56,320
[sighs] [meows and hisses]
972
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,400
I'm gonna call Susan!
973
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:16,920
I'm hungry!
974
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,080
I bet you are.
975
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,440
We got a whole lot of food.
976
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,640
But I don't know
what kind to feed you.
977
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,480
I don't think I'm gonna
be a cat anymore.
978
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,760
I wanna be a girl now.
979
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,800
Good.
980
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,360
We got more than enough
cats around here.
981
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,680
We need more little girls...
982
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,760
[laughs]
983
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,560
Donna: Hm, girl.
your hair is matted.
984
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,840
OK, alright.
985
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,120
So once a week maybe two,
use that conditioner I got you.
986
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:58,480
Work through the tangles,
moisturize it.
987
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,360
You gotta protect your hair, OK?
988
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,640
And tonight I want
you to tie it up
989
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,960
with a scarf.
990
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,320
You got good hair.
991
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,160
Girls gonna be jealous of you.
992
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,280
Yeah.
993
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,160
You're a beautiful girl.
994
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,360
OK. Uh.
995
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Susan: Anywhere you want.
996
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,640
And please come get me
if you have any questions.
997
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,280
Anything. OK. Thank you.
998
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,200
Hey. OK. Alright.
999
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,400
Mollie: Hi, how are you?
1000
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,760
Do you expect a raise?
1001
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,400
There's a minimum
income threshold
1002
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:43,800
that they want you to meet.
1003
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,400
We won't be gettin' no raise.
1004
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,000
Hm, I'm sure you will.
I have a good feeling.
1005
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,720
We're happy to have you two...
1006
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,120
Thank you.
1007
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:57,800
Donna: Yes, I know
you're nervous. I'm too.
1008
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,720
OK. I know how you feel.
1009
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,440
Johnnie: We were all done.
Kids all gone. You know that.
1010
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,120
But something
kept pulling at me.
1011
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,320
"Go, do it."
1012
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,440
Yes, do it. This is Johnnie
and her husband Fred.
1013
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,360
This is Susan.
1014
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:11,720
Susan: Hi.
Thank you so much.
1015
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,320
Donna: All kinds
showed up that night.
1016
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,680
Mostly friends and family, and
1017
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,800
some I hardly remembered.
1018
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:25,600
You feel so many things,
like you're
1019
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:28,760
flying and then falling
at the same time,
1020
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,040
when something so important
feels out of your hands.
1021
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,560
Then the kids started coming.
1022
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,400
With stories that just
tore at your insides.
1023
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,280
Johnnie: Hi. Susan!
1024
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,600
[inaudible]
1025
00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:55,640
Don't cry.
1026
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,960
Donna: And they kept coming.
1027
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,480
Scores of them.
1028
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,360
Brenda: I made dinner for you.
Come on, have a seat.
1029
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:14,560
Donna: Out of all that
loss and pain,
1030
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,880
children who went into the
system from all over East Texas
1031
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,680
made their way to
our little town
1032
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,760
into a handful of
determined families.
1033
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,000
Diann: Joshua and Randy,
welcome home.
1034
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,840
Come on in. Come on
and meet your brother.
1035
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,440
[laughs] Nino! No!
Get them out of my house.
1036
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,920
You better run!
1037
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:35,480
[laughs]
1038
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,040
WC: You're my little boy now.
1039
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,440
That little paper
makes it official.
1040
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,760
You ain't going nowhere now.
1041
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:58,360
[cheers]
1042
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,320
Donna: Now, scripture says
1043
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,040
"Let the Believers
with little wealth
1044
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,880
glory in their high position."
1045
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,920
Now I only ever made sense
of that for one reason:
1046
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:14,600
It seemed the less we had
the more He gave.
1047
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,360
He watched over us every way
we could think of.
1048
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,520
Crowd: Happy birthday,
dear Keiosha,
1049
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,800
happy birthday to you.
1050
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,920
[cheers]
1051
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,480
Keiosha: Why d'ya all
lookin' at me?
1052
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,320
Johnnie: 'Cause it's
your birthday, sweetie.
1053
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:02,760
You know what a birthday is?
1054
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,440
You've ever had a birthday cake?
1055
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:05,760
Birthday cake?
1056
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,480
Johnnie: All of you guys are
gonna get one. Every year.
1057
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,360
Ready to blow out the candles?
1058
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,560
One, two, three.
1059
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:14,680
[blows]
1060
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,160
[cheers]
1061
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,560
Hey, good job!
1062
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,680
Great job! How about that?
1063
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:30,760
Donna: WC?
1064
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,360
WC: Yeah?
1065
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,200
You paid the water?
1066
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,320
I'm on getting it
turned back on.
1067
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,680
I still gotta get groceries.
1068
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,480
That's at least a hundred
dollars. I don't understand...
1069
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,120
You don't wanna think
I know all the things
1070
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,040
around here and...
1071
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,560
Excuse me, young lady.
1072
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,400
Where did you get
those daisy dukes?
1073
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:48,480
Terri: What's wrong with them?
1074
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,640
Girl, you're looking for
trouble in those things.
1075
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,560
Go change.
1076
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:53,720
LaDonna: Hey, Franklin.
1077
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,600
Terri: Hey, Frankie. Come in.
1078
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,320
Donna: Oh, not now, baby. I need
everyone's help for a while.
1079
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,000
Franklin: Oh, I'll catch
you later, I guess.
1080
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,280
Terri: We're gonna
go play Donna.
1081
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,760
I said not now.
1082
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,320
Terri: Why not?
We're done already.
1083
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,680
Don't go out that door.
1084
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:06,560
Why not?
1085
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:07,560
'Cause I said not now.
1086
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:08,720
I've already done
everything you need me to do.
1087
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:09,840
You don't stop
making plans for me.
1088
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:10,880
Just wait a minute now.
1089
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:11,800
Terri: You can't tell me
what to do.
1090
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,080
Why can't I just do
what I wanna do?
1091
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,720
I just wanna go out and
play with Franklin.
1092
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,320
Why can't I do all these things?
1093
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:18,560
Donna: Who are you talking
to like that?
1094
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,240
WC, you better see this girl.
1095
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,200
[indistinct]
1096
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,040
WC: Alright now... Just lower
your voice now.
1097
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,160
Lower your voice.
1098
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,560
Terri: Especially you!
Don't tell me what to do!
1099
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,080
Why can't I just do it?
1100
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,120
Just leave me alone.
1101
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,240
- Donna: Alright. Alright!
- I don't want to do anything.
1102
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,000
Just stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
1103
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,360
Now, now, now!
Just leave me alone!
1104
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,360
I don't wanna do it anymore.
1105
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,240
[cries]
1106
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:45,680
WC: Hey! OK. OK. OK.
1107
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,120
That's OK now. Look, look.
We're here for you now.
1108
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,080
[cries]
1109
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,000
Take your time.
Donna: Alright.
1110
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,000
Terri: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
1111
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,280
- It's OK. It's OK.
- Sorry. I'm sorry.
1112
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:17,520
Dr.: Terri has suffered
a significant
1113
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,320
amount of rejection and betrayal
1114
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,600
from her mother.
1115
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,360
Abandonment from her father.
1116
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,080
It may take a long time
for her to trust you.
1117
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,160
Diann: Well, that's
the broken window.
1118
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,400
He got locked out
and used a rock to get in.
1119
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,080
But honestly,
I can wait on this.
1120
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,040
The real problem is in here.
1121
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,960
Come on in.
1122
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,400
So it's leaking in here.
1123
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,800
Every time I try to wash clothes
the whole place floods.
1124
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,680
They say the sewer pipe
is backing up
1125
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,640
'cause of all us in here now.
1126
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,080
I don't have $800 to fix it.
1127
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,320
WC: Alright. It's a
lot of people.
1128
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,280
They're with a lot of
wear and tear so.
1129
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,200
I'll go see what I can do
1130
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,120
Diann: Anything you can do
I appreciate.
1131
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:14,760
Mark: I would make it more real.
1132
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,480
Announcement: (So give today
and help us meet the
1133
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,400
(one million dollar
building campaign goal.)
1134
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,840
Mark: Hey, that color look
right to you, Jim?
1135
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Oh, no.
1136
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,680
Brand new projector better be...
1137
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,320
So I really want that
whole wall there.
1138
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,280
Got the new screens, I don't
wanna do that. Leave all...
1139
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,240
(Abundant Life is going to the
Caribbean. Join us...)
1140
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,160
WC: Mark! You gotta minute,
my brotha?
1141
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,080
Mark: WC! Good afternoon.
1142
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,320
Jim, hold off on the
announcements for a minute.
1143
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,880
I left messages but
1144
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:47,920
I never heard back.
1145
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,360
Yeah, I'm sorry,
I've been swamped.
1146
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,600
Well, I don't wanna
bother you with too much, but...
1147
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,680
we've come into some needs,
pastor.
1148
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,760
OK. Well, what's going on?
1149
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,520
The kids keep comin' and
1150
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,680
it has put a strain on people
somethin' fierce.
1151
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,560
And the houses'
gettin' worked now.
1152
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,400
I got one mother,
she's a single mother,
1153
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,400
she needs a new sewer line.
1154
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,040
And I just ain't
got it right now.
1155
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,840
Reverend, you know we've been
doing the best we can.
1156
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,160
Mark, I appreciate everything
you've done thus far.
1157
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:14,280
It's just that we're
in a situation here
1158
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:15,120
and our only way...
1159
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,840
Isn't the county sending you
all support still?
1160
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,120
These are working families.
1161
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:21,960
It goes fast.
1162
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,200
There's a lot of needs.
1163
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,280
OK... Hey look,
1164
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,520
you took on a heavy burden, WC.
1165
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:31,920
So why can't you?
1166
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,200
Lord, if we can just come
together on this...
1167
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:35,680
Because it's too much.
1168
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,640
I'm not going to turn
everybody's life upside down.
1169
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,920
We can't come at it like that.
1170
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:41,640
You know what it says in James?
1171
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,400
I do know. I've got a Bible.
1172
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,600
You also need to use wisdom.
1173
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,240
Wisdom?
1174
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,280
I say I got a Bible too.
1175
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,760
I just ain't seen the part
about the big stages.
1176
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,080
I've seen the orphans and
the widows, and the millstones
1177
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,400
- Look, Reverend...
- and the sheep and the goat.
1178
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,720
Reverend, you need to back down.
1179
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,560
But I ain't seen the
standing-on-the-sidelines part.
1180
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,640
There's a bloodbath
going on outside
1181
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,280
and you on a cruise
ship up in here?!
1182
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,640
WC!
1183
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:06,960
We care about kids here.
1184
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,320
Which ones?
1185
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,040
You can't see
the ones sitting right
1186
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,720
outside on your doorstep?!
1187
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,520
The conference is coming up.
1188
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:28,600
On top of everything else,
1189
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,400
it's just not in
the church budget.
1190
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,320
So this is from Mary and I.
1191
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,120
Give me the names of the kids.
1192
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,280
We got gift baskets
planned for Christmas.
1193
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,640
OK? We'll do what we can.
1194
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:00,680
I appreciate this. I really do.
1195
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,280
Right. Hm. Alright. Take care.
1196
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,160
Donna: What are you
doing out here?
1197
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:21,720
WC: Cleaning up.
1198
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,760
I took care of your
sister's plumbing.
1199
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:28,480
Well, that's good.
1200
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,320
Pastor Mark helped.
1201
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,440
Lord knows
I want to love that man.
1202
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:40,840
I really do.
1203
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,480
But he got me on my face
so much I can't barely
1204
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,080
get the taste of dirt
out of my mouth.
1205
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,080
I'm where the Lord put me,
I'm doing His work,
1206
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:48,480
but why I got to beg?
1207
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,280
I don't know why you
keep going over there to them.
1208
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,200
Because we ain't got
enough to pay for the electric
1209
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,160
on the church right now.
1210
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,640
We barely got nothing' for all
these kids coming in!
1211
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,160
Well, that's embarrassing, WC.
1212
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,440
I mean, what go around here
ain't nobody's business.
1213
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:02,800
Why it ain't his business?
1214
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,480
We worship the same Jesus,
ain't it?
1215
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,200
He's my brother.
1216
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,080
Come on. Come here. Come here.
1217
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,040
[sighs]
1218
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,760
Terri: How far is this place?
1219
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:40,760
LaDonna: Girl, you asked
to come with us.
1220
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,160
Franklin: We shoulda drove
my dad's truck.
1221
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,760
Joshua: Franklin, you
can not drive.
1222
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,160
LaDonna: Alright, here we are.
1223
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,560
OK, all you swore on your
dead granny's graveyard
1224
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,880
that you're not gonna tell
nobody about this.
1225
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,000
And Terri swore on her cat.
1226
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:56,600
[laughs] I don't have a cat,
troll.
1227
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,800
Girl, it's a joke. Chill.
1228
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,080
This is our pond,
1229
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,040
nobody knows about it.
So let's keep it that way.
1230
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:13,480
Franklin: Especially parents.
1231
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,520
Bro, if my mom knew about this,
1232
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,680
she would for sure think
I'm gonna drown.
1233
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,440

Stop being a baby.

Alright, let's try it again.

That's enough, LaDonna!

01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,160
Didn't you just see
what she did to me?
1285
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,320
Make her leave! I don't want
to hear that again.

Why don't you ever do anything?

She's so mean!

I said that's enough.

01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,800
You need to show them
some understanding, OK?
1292
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,680
All you care 'bout is them.
1293

I wanna talk to you.

I want you to know I didn't mean
what I said earlier today.

Yeah, you did.

01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,160
Donna: No, Terri. I was
just very upset.
1311
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,160
You're my daughter too.
1312
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,600
But we missed out on a lot.
1313
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,400
I didn't give birth to you,
or nurse you.
1314
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,360
I didn't get the chance to
rock you to sleep...

[sighs]
1316
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:31,800
We're gotta to work on
this together.
1317

Terri... look,
1318
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,400
I'm not giving up on you.
1319
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:40,480
I ain't gonna do it, but you
can't give up on me either.

Dr.: Do you have any questions?
1321
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,320
Terri: Hm-hm.
1322
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,960
Dr.: OK. Well,
1323
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,840
I want you to try and be
positive about yourself.
1324
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:02,400
Don't dwell on all the work
that has to be done.
1325
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,680
I want you to know
that you're beautiful,

01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,000
you're capable
1327

01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:39,320
LaDonna: Where's my
yellow dress?
1333
01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:40,360
I can't hear you.
1334
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,560
I need it for church!

1336
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,840
I am beautiful.

I am capable.

01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,000
I am strong...
1339
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,400
And responsible.
1340
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,400
I am stupid.

Nothing. I just
like that game.

Yeah, but you've been
playing that a long time.

I was thinking about making
a pie or cookies or somethin'.

What do you think?
You wanna help me?

Donna: It's called baptism.
1376
01:15:20,440 --> 01:15:22,680
It means she's a new person now.

you've done wrong...

no heartache on earth

a mother or father.

01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:10,680
You can't ignore them.
1385
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,920
You can't numb yourself so well
1386
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,200
that they will not one day
overtake you,
1387
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,680

back in here!

I should talk to her, really.

She's gone.

Oh, Lord.

Dr.: How's the
adoption progressing?
1430
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,640
That could change things.

WC: It's tough right now.
1432
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,520
It would change the stipend.

wants to be anyways.
1434

she's loved and
1435

going to happen.

everything she needs!

I don't know what else to do,

with all we got goin' on.
1439
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:58,480
Dr.: Then it may be in
her best interest
1440
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,320
to be in a different home.
1441
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:01,640
Donna: What?
1442
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,480
Dr.: I don't see her
forming an attachment.
1443

No! That won't ever happen.

Donna: Susan, I won't have that.
1446

It's not up to you. Or me,

okay?
1448
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,000
I told you.
1449
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,120
People in this town
are looking to you.
1450
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:19,480
We can't have them give up
because they see
1451
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,280
things falling apart with Terri.
1452
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,000
What's happening
with Possum Trot
1453
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,680
has the attention of the state.
1454
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,480
We're approaching legislators
for more accommodations,
1455
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:28,800
more resources.
1456
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:32,600
This could mean a huge,
huge change for the system.
1457
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,840
And Joyce won't risk that.
1458
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,080
She will pull Terri
1459
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:37,920
if she feels that she needs
different care.
1460
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:39,440
WC: Now if you pull Terri
from my home

how's that things
not falling apart?

She's still gone.
1463
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,120
You wouldn't be giving her up.
1464
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,120
It would be
psychiatric intervention
1465
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,800
at the recommendation
of her doctor.
1466
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:52,800
Not your fault.
1467
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,400
Nobody is gonna see it
that way. Hm,

01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,480
Susan, you got to understand.
1469

Everybody ain't got it like it.
1472
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,800
Just be mindful of that, if you?
1473
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,720
Take her out now
you gonna get a lot
1474

Okay.

WC: You gotta speak up, T.

01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:30,840
You left your fishing boat
1579
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,880
and you walked on
with Jesus anyway.
1580
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,440
And I know something else.
1581
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:42,400
Some of you ain't
too sure about it anymore.
1582
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,400
Fair.
1583
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,800
Some of you,
your compass is spinning
1584
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:52,120
and you wonderin',
which way is what?
1585
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:57,440
I know you feel it
because I feel it too.

[crowd cheers]
1587
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,040
If we believe the Bible,
1588
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,920
then we must bear that burden,
1589
01:29:07,480 --> 01:29:10,480
but it ought to be light.
But sometimes
1590
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,520
that burden is only light
when it's shared.
1591
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,680
And we family...
1592
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,640
If you're feeling something
heavy right now,
1593
01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:29,920
I want you to stand up with me.
1594
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,160
Stand up.
1595
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:34,840
Rest on your feet with me.
1596
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:36,760
That's alright.
1597
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:44,200
Some of you feel like
you can't go on.
1598
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,520
Some of you feel regret.
1599
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,960
I want you to know
that you heard Him right.
1600
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,320
You didn't make a mistake.
1601
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:55,760
He ain't ever promised us easy.
1602
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,200
But what He promised us is that
1603
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,520
He was gonna be
right there by our side.
1604
01:30:03,440 --> 01:30:07,880
So let's take up this cross
and let's keep on.
1605
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,360
You did hear Him,
1606
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,160
and He's going to hold
you right now,
1607
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,480
because He hears you too.
1608
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:22,400
Come on up here. Come on.
1609
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:25,320
Come on.
1610
01:30:27,440 --> 01:30:29,800
I'm asking you now
to get your arms around
1611
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,320
your brothers and sisters.
1612
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,120
Be there for them! When they
call you in the midnight hour,

The greatest in His kingdom
1619
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:54,400
is the servant of all!
1620
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:56,560
Yes, He is! The Good Shepherd.
1621
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,320
It's time to do this together,

you've stumbled into a place

01:41:27,480 --> 01:41:31,200
WC: RJ! Terri took Donna's car!
1751
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,240
She came by here?
1752
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:45,440
[gasps]
1753
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:26,280
Please, Lord,
help us find this child.
1754
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,520
Alright go head back to town,
tell everybody.
1755
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:49,240
Glen: Alright.
1756
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:50,960
[door closes]
[engine revs]
1757
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,360
Donna: Diann, you
heard something?
1758
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:58,800
Ok, ok, bye.
1759
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:00,360
[car door closes]
1760
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,240
Oh, Lord, we need your help.
Oh, God.
1761
01:43:26,440 --> 01:43:27,440
Donna: Diann, you hear anything?
1762
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,480
Diann: She's not here.
1763
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,320
Diann: But people are already
looking for her, ok?
1764
01:43:30,440 --> 01:43:31,800
And I got more people coming.
1765
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:33,560
- It's getting late.
- I know. Should we call Susan?
1766
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:35,000
No!
1767
01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,200
Why we gonna do that?
Ain't gonna help anyhow.
1768
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,400
WC: Terri!
1769
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:04,720
Come on, girl!
1770
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:07,360
Terri!
1771
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:20,320
You got people looking for you,
that love you now!
1772
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,280
Donna: Terri!
1773
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:45,200
Terri!
1774
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,360
Susan: No... No, I didn't hear.
1775
01:44:53,480 --> 01:44:55,280
How long?
1776
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:59,280
OK, OK. OK. Hey, Renae,
1777
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:01,080
we'll have to have
this talk later, OK?
1778
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,120
Thank you.
1779
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:07,560
Terri's AWOL.
She took Donna's car.
1780
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:08,920
Jo-beth: What?
1781
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,600
They found the car crashed,
but no Terri.
1782
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,040
[music]
1783
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:41,560

[soft music continues]
1785

Donna: Terri!
1786
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,840
Terri! Where are you?
1787
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:38,360
[music continues]
1788
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:18,360
Renae: I know this
is hard, Susan.
1789
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,760
Donna: Terri.
1790
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:20,480
Terri: Are you mad?
1791
01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,120
No.
1792
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:25,880
I'm not mad.
1793
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,400
Am I a new person now?
1794
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:59,560
Donna: Everybody!
We found her! WC,
1795
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:03,280
We got her!
1796
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:08,240
WC: Jesus...
1797
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:10,520
Donna: Ok, that's ok.
1798
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,200
[inaudible]
1799
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:17,080
Donna: We found her...
1800
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,320
- We found her.
- Yeah, we found her, guys!
1801
01:50:25,440 --> 01:50:27,200
Donna: WC!
1802
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:31,640
She's ok. She's ok, everybody.
1803
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:38,120
Susan: Are you ok? Yeah? Ok.
1804
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:41,920
[sighs]
1805
01:50:42,480 --> 01:50:44,600
Donna: She's safe now.
1806
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:47,760
Take her home then...
1807
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,160
Susan: I'm supposed
to take her back with me.
1808
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:02,680
Right now.
1809
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,160
Susan, please.
1810
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,800
I wanna believe
we turned a corner.
1811
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:15,800
First Lady,...
1812
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,600
have we turned a corner?
1813
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:30,560
Well...
1814
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:32,640
[sighs]
1815
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:37,120
It looks to me like we have.
1816
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,640
[crowd celebrates in
interposing voices]
1817
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:54,360
Donna: I've had to
look at some things
1818
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:56,600
I couldn't see before,
1819
01:52:57,120 --> 01:53:00,720
things I need to change.
1820
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,200
I know I hurt you, Terri and...
1821
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,520
I'm sorry, baby girl.
1822
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:25,360
Terri: Did my mom hate me?
1823
01:53:26,480 --> 01:53:28,800
No.
1824
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:32,360
Come here, baby.
1825
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,480
Don't say nothin' like that.
1826
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,720
Your mama didn't hate you, ok?
1827
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:42,560
I tried to be good,
1828
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:45,280
but it didn't matter.
1829
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:49,000
This wasn't nothing
you ever did, you hear me?
1830
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:50,520
Look at me.
1831
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:52,440
She couldn't see you.
1832
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:54,320
But I see you.
1833
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:56,160
And when I look at your
sweet little face,
1834
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:58,960
I see my little girl.
1835
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,400
You're a gift
1836
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:07,760
and you were only ever
meant to be loved.
1837
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,440
Love is kind,
1838
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:18,920
love protects,
1839
01:54:19,480 --> 01:54:23,280
and love never gives up.
1840
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:30,120
That's ok...
1841
01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:34,560
And love forgives, baby.
1842
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:39,920
That's where you're
gonna have to start. Forgive.
1843
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:43,920
Hm.
1844
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:53,280
It's okay, I got you.
1845
01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:57,560
Hm.
1846
01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:13,440
[gasps]
1847
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:14,800
[cries]
1848
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,640
That's ok.
1849
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,400
It's alright, baby girl.
1850
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:25,840
It's okay.
1851
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:27,720
[soft music]
1852
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:29,880
[crying]
1853
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:39,040
Let it out, it's okay,
it's okay.
1854
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:47,720
We got you.
1855
01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,480
Let it go now.
1856
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,280
He sees you sweet baby.
1857
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,320
Donna: We say we believe,
1858
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:14,560
that we'll follow Him
wherever He leads.
1859
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:17,080
The truth is you don't even know
1860
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:19,000
if you have faith
1861
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:22,960
until something weighs down
on you with all its might.
1862
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:25,720
There you see what's inside.
1863
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:27,600
When you follow to that place,
1864
01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:31,640
you will become like
the One who leads you,
1865
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:35,000
or you will find that
you never knew Him.
1866
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:37,400
We followed.
1867
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:40,800
I heard it said we ain't
had no business tryin'.
1868
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:43,480
But I say, if we can,
1869
01:56:44,280 --> 01:56:47,120
then who is it that can't?
1870
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,120
We took up those little hands
1871
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,920
in the weakness of our own.
1872
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,320
We took them in faith.
1873
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,360
And yea though we walk
through the valley,
1874
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:05,040
and the shadow of death
bears down on our souls,
1875
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:07,480
I will fear no evil,
1876
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:11,800
for I have seen
that we do not walk alone.
1877
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:13,960
[soft music]
1878
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:20,920
[phone ringing]
1879
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:24,520
Susan: Hello?
1880
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:26,680
WC: Susan,
how you doin', my sister?
1881
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:29,080
Reverend! Hi.
1882
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:32,280
Well, I just have finished
talkin' to some people
1883
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:34,600
and it looks like we got room
for more children.
1884
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:38,840
Reverend, I can't tell you
how it feels to know that.
1885
01:57:39,200 --> 01:57:41,240
But at the moment
1886
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:42,840
there are no more.
1887
01:57:42,960 --> 01:57:43,920
What?
1888
01:57:44,320 --> 01:57:45,640
What do you mean?
1889
01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:48,600
There's not a child
in need of a home
1890
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:53,160
in 100 miles of Possum Trot
in every direction.
1891
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:56,800
But I know where to find you.
1892
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:01,000
Alright then, uh.
Well, you let me know.
1893
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:03,720
Thank you.
1894
02:02:18,960 --> 02:02:22,440
Hi, I'm the real
First Lady Donna Martin
1895
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:25,600
and this is my husband
Bishop Martin.
1896
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:28,640
If we can do this in Possum Trot
1897
02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:30,960
with the little that we had,
1898
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:34,280
what can we do if
we all come together?
1899
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:39,600
Today there are nearly
400,000 churches in this country
1900
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:41,720
and there's more than
100,000 children
1901
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:43,800
waiting to be adopted.
1902
02:02:44,760 --> 02:02:47,160
It is time for a change.
1903
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:49,680
Enough is enough!
1904
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:54,040
Don't you think that this
100,000 children deserve
1905
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:55,680
a beautiful life?
1906
02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:58,480
Don't you think that
they deserve a chance?
1907
02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:00,240
It is in your hands.
1908
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:04,160
I'm here to tell you that
you can make a difference.
1909
02:03:04,760 --> 02:03:07,440
That we can
annihilate this problem.
1910
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:11,440
That there will be not a child
without a loving home.
1911
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:14,320
But it's time now
to put some action
1912
02:03:14,440 --> 02:03:17,800
in love and you know love
is an action word.
1913
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:20,360
You can't sit up and look at
how bad they are
1914
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:22,440
but you're not doing
anything about the problem.
1915
02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:24,760
I challenge you today,
1916
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:27,880
I challenge you to stand up
1917
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:30,840
and let's say this church
and that church,
1918
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:31,800
we're going to make a difference
1919
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:32,920
in the life of children.
1920
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:34,120
Let's help them,
1921
02:03:34,240 --> 02:03:35,640
let's get them
out of the system,
1922
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:38,600
bring them in there,
teach them, show them,
1923
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:40,680
let them, help them
to understand that
1924
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:43,920
their life is just as important
as any other child.
1925
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:46,120
Next, on the website.
1926
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:46,960

1937
02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:12,800

we are the people of God.
