Jesse: Does it look the same?

Julia: Well, as beautiful as ever.

Miss Elsie: Hey you!

You can't park there, that's my spot!

Jesse: I'm sorry about that.

Julia: Do you even have a car?

Miss Elsie: It doesn't matter, it's my spot!

Jesse: Not a problem.

Julia: See what I mean?

Nothing like friendly neighbors.

Jesse: Who was that?

Julia: Miss Elsie.

She's lived here forever.

Jesse: Here, I got it.

Then we'll get the stuff, okay?

Julia: All right.

Pastor Gil: I am so excited with what the Lord is doing

with our new outreach program.

And I pray that next year at this time

we have many more in our congregation.

You know, when I first thought about this program

I knew that we would need someone unique

and I believe that God has sent us that person.

He's a self-taught student of theology,

a decorated soldier, but most importantly

he has the heart to please and serve God.

Pastor Gil: The apartment upstairs is all right?

Julia: Yeah.

Pastor Gil: Good.

You know, ever since I took over this church six years ago

your mother has been a tremendous help.

I think she sent Jesse's resume to me 50 times

in the past six months.

There's a storefront downstairs that we're using as storage.

It needs to be cleaned up but I think

it's going to work out fine.

You know, Jesse, I think you're going to be

the first outreach leader that this church has had.

Pastor Gil: Let's give a warm welcome to our new

community outreach leader Jesse Dean.

Jesse: Thanks, pastor.

Growing up a troubled kid in the sticks of Oklahoma,

if someone would've told me

that one day I'd be standing in a pulpit

in a church in Philadelphia,

well I would've said they were nuts

and so would anyone who knew me back then.

No, never question where God is leading you,

even if sometimes it's a bit uncomfortable.

Like Him leading me up here to give this speech.

I thought my tour in Afghanistan was hard.

- It's a good thing public speaking isn't part of his job.

Julia: Mommy!

Jesse: It's ironic that my new church is the one

my wife grew up in because that's who He used

in my life to change me.

She got me into church,

she showed me what real love is

and kept me grounded.

What I'm trying to say is I'm so grateful and thankful

for the opportunity to serve God in this church

and this city.

Thank you very much.

Jesse: Hey, thanks buddy.

All right.

Pastor Gil: Jesse, I want you to meet Will Taylor.

Will: Nice speech.

Jesse: Oh thank you, sir.

Pastor Gil: Will is very active in the community.

Will: You ever hear Wet Willy's Car Wash?

Jesse: Aaaa, Wet Willy's?

No, I don't believe so.

Will: He must be from the other side of the country for sure.

We own six of them here in the city.

Check this out.

I do a little outreach myself.

Every car that comes through gets one of these.

Jesse: Your car is clean, but how about your soul?

Will: You got to take every opportunity, right?

Pastor Gil: And he will, believe me.

- It'll open up an hour.

Jesse: What's that?

- Why are you beating up my door?

- I'm Jesse Dean from New Life Fellowship Church.

You must be Mr. Adorable.

- Oh we got us a joker here.

We got some kind of funny boy here.

Do I look Adorable to you?

- Yeah, well I didn't say that.

- Oh there's something wrong with my hearing now?

I'm a liar, is that what you're saying?

huh?

- No.

See, you said that--

I don't think that you're--

- Oh now you think I'm ugly? Huh?

Huh?

- See, my wife, she said--

- I'm goofing with you.

I didn't mean nothing by that.

Had you all nervous.

But on the for real side, don't call me Adorable.

It's Ador-ah-blé.

Go ahead, say it.

- Ador-a-blé.

- No, say it again, Ador-ah-blé.

- Ador-ah-blé.

- Eh, close enough.

Everybody here knows me as guapo.

Gu-a-po.

- Gu-a-po.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah, rolls up your tongue, eh?

You know what that means in Spanish?

It means adorable .

Mr. Adorable: One helping per person, no seconds

until everybody has eaten.

Now put this hairnet and these gloves on

and keep them on so you can look adorable like me.

Mommy!

Mila, say hello to Popeye.

He's our new helper.

Follow me.

I serve 300 people two meals a day.

You want to see somebody go crazy nuts?

You just run out of bread.

- And then what?

Mr. Adorable: And then what?

Then you hide or you get more bread.

What do you mean then what?

Oh look!

Actually, it's not that bad.

Put it in the oven for about two minutes

they become fresh again.

But if you leave 'em there too long

they'll become hard as rocks.

You don't believe me?

Try some.

- No, I'm good. - Okay.

One more thing.

Welcome to the show.

Mr. Adorable: So you jumped out of a plane without a chute or something?

- Yeah, something like that.

Are you from Philadelphia originally?

- Oh no.

I'm New Yorkian, baby.

And you?

- I'm from the south, mostly Oklahoma originally.

- Oklahoma, really?

- Yeah.

- I've never heard of it .

Hey, so let me guess.

Your dream was to come to Philadelphia

to work at a big time soup kitchen

and now your dreams have come true.

- No, I'd like to think the Lord led me.

Ain't that why you're here?

- No, my parole officer led me.

And she's going to get a big kick thinking

you think she's the Lord.

- I thought you're a volunteer.

- You are funny.

Me a volunteer ?

No, no-no-no.

You're a church going man, you should know this.

It's all penance.

It's all penance, my friend.

It's what you make of it, right?

Hey, keep an eye on the soup over there.

Come on, Popeye, let's get going.

Jesse: There you go, all right.

There you go, buddy.

There you go, little man.

Kids Mother: He don't like soup.

Jesse: You don't like soup?

Well I tell you what.

Hold on.

You like peanut butter and jelly?

Here, take this.

But you got to keep it a secret, okay?

Kids Mother: You don't have to do that.

Jesse: No, I insist.

Kids Mother: What do you say, Charles?

Charles: Thank you.

Jesse: Well you're very welcome, Charles.

Anytime.

Camille: The bread.

Jesse: What's that?

Camille: The bread.

Camille's Mother: Hey, let's go.

Jesse: Hey, thanks for your help.

- You're the new outreach guy from church, right?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Great!

- And I was going to say, Camille,

if you're looking for more volunteer work--

Camille's Mother: That is perfect!

Camille: Great!

- All right, well, maybe I'll see you Friday?

- Maybe.

- All right.

Well it's nice meeting you.

Camille's Mother: Nice to meet you.

Jesse: So, how often do I have to come here?

Dr. Epstein: This is your first post psych eval, right?

- That's correct.

- Then just until I sign off on your file.

- I was discharged three months ago.

- It says here that you work at a church now.

- That's right.

- So an army ranger who's now running an outreach

at a church in the city.

How's that going?

- It's fine.

- And for your wife, a film make-up artist?

- She's a hairstylist.

Dr. Epstein: On the scale of 1 to 10, how would you say

your time away has affected your marriage?

10 being bad and one being not at all.

- We picked up right where we left off.

It's like I never left.

- So would you say a three or a four?

- A one.

- You ever open up to her or anyone else

about the incident that took place?

- No, not really.

- Why don't you tell me about it?

Tell me what happened in your own words.

- Isn't it all right there in my file?

- It is, but I would like to hear your take on it.

- Well my take is that it's over.

I'm home now and I'm moving on.

- Are you angry about what happened?

Or do you feel personally responsible?

- I don't know.

But I do know not to dwell on things.

God forgives and He forgets.

So it does me no good to hash up something

that God's already wiped away,

regardless of who's responsible.

Well there, I talked about it.

Can I go now?

Street Preacher: He that Believeth in me is not condemned

but he that does not believe in me is already condemned

And the question that I ask,

is He the Lord of your life?

Is He the Lord of your life?

- What don't you get?

Nobody wants you here.

Beat it!

- Turn away from your sins.

Come to Jesus Christ.

- You go to hell!

- Now he's baptisming him.

- Not the priest, punk!

- Come on, sweet heart.

Jesse: That's enough, man, back off!

He's got a knife.

He's got a knife.

- Get in the car.

- Sir, please back up!

- He was helping me. - Back up!

Miss Elsie: Those hoodlums were harassing that preacher.

- Okay, ma'am, please calm down.

- Don't tell me to calm down.

You want truth?

I tell you, I saw it.

And I can vouch for this young man,

he works at New Life Church.

- Hey, he attacked us.

- Do you want to press charges against these guys?

Street Preacher: No.

- Jesse?

- That's right.

Stick to church business, okay?

- I'm sorry about the trouble, sir.

- Hey, let's go.

- I hope we didn't cause more trouble for you, man.

- You okay, man?

- You pray for those guys, okay?

Jesse: So what do you do, man?

You work?

- Yeah, I work on bikes, all types.

Jesse: You work in a garage?

- I used to, they laid me off.

- I'm thinking of starting some boxing training,

Wednesdays and Fridays, if you're interested.

- So you old school, huh?

Pac's side nigger, or something like that.

- I dabble in it.

I won't call what you did back there dabbling, man.

That was annihilation.

- Look, I told you that was a mistake.

- It is what it is, though.

But for real boxing at a church?

- Yeah, boxing at a church.

You ever go?

- I used to go all the time growing up with my grandma.

Let me out here.

Cool, cool.

Jesse: They with you?

- Oh they're just my neighbors and my girl Gigi.

- Show up Friday about four o'clock

and I'll show you what you're doing wrong.

With boxing.

You know anybody else who might be interested?

- Bro, if it's free I know a lot of people

who'd be interested.

- Friday four o'clock?

- All right, cool.

Keep reaching that community now, all right?

Yo, what's up?

say I'm a rocking flow

stand up I'mma go alone

Jesse: You think Gil will notice?

Julia: Tell him you were building relationships.

Just not in the normal way.

Let's see if that kid comes to the meeting.

- And that lady who lives next door,

the one who yelled at us for parking at her spot?

She is no --

No joke.

She came out of nowhere, she got all balls,

she yelled at the cops.

She stuck up for me.

- Her father actually started this church 50 years ago.

- Yeah?

- Well, if you need a corner man let me know.

Pastor Gil: Wow, look at this place.

Jesse: Hey, pastor.

Pastor Gil: It's really coming along, huh?

- Yeah, we're getting there.

- Great.

- Hey, I wanted to ask you.

What do you think about me spicing the place up a little?

- What do you have in mind?

- I was thinking more like a real boxing gym,

maybe getting some more bags,

some more gloves, some mats, some music,

maybe even a ring eventually.

- I like it.

Why don't you come up with a fundraising plan?

- That's not really my thing.

- All right, I tell you what.

Write me out a summary of what it's going to cost

and we'll see what we can do, all right?

- All right, thanks.

- You should get that lip fixed, too.

Julia: You play any sports?

Camille: No.

What are we looking for?

Boxing stuff?

- Yeah, as many gloves as we can find.

Danny: Hey, what's up?

Jesse: Hey, thanks for coming, man.

- No problem.

- How you doing, man?

How you doing, man?

How you doing?

Julia: So who do we have here?

- This is my brother and my sister.

Keshaun and Daryl.

- You guys want to come back here and color with me?

- Go ahead guys.

- Hey, we're at an outreach community.

- Let's reach you.

Come on.

- All right.

Jesse: All right, we're going to start with the basics.

All right, Danny, come on up here, man.

What would you do if I got in your face right now

and wanted to fight?

- I'll punch you in your jaw.

- All right, show me.

Jesse: You all right?

You want to know what you did wrong?

First of all, I saw it coming since last Tuesday.

You're not throwing a baseball, you're launching a rocket

but you got to start with solid foundation.

If that's not right you can't strike with any power,

so anyone or anything can come by and knock you over.

So let's stand on these yellow lines, one foot in front

and one foot in back,

put your hands up, answer the phone

and protect the grill.

Jab, step forward.

Jab, step forward.

Jab, step forward.

Jab, step forward.

Jab, step forward.

One, two.

Look at my back foot.

It's called switching above.

Pivot, pivot.

One, two.

Come on, give it to me, give it to me.

That's it.

All right.

Step aside, grab the wrist, put your hands up

and then drop the knife.

One, two here and three drop the knife.

Right hand pushes away, up,

and then this hand knocks it like that.

You got the good jab, good job .

Jesse: Oh hey, Danny, hold up a sec.

You ever hear David who fought Goliath?

- The slingshot guy?

- Yeah.

You want to see how true warriors battle?

Read that with the bookmark.

One page, okay?

- I'm not much in that religious stuff--

- It's just a story, I promise.

All right, hands up.

See you next Wednesday.

- All right.

Will: Well, well, well.

- Mr. Will.

- I like what you're doing here, brother.

- I'm getting there.

- Maybe this will help.

Take it.

It's a gift.

- Thank you, but I can't promise you anything

with this place.

It's our first night.

- I understand.

I already talked to Gil.

He's just as excited.

Take it.

Get the things you need.

- Thank you.

- Thank the Lord.

These programs are great for reeling them in

but getting them up there, what really matters.

Just remember, keep those priorities straight.

Jesse: Are you okay?

- You work here?

- Yeah, I do.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

- Will I see my baby in heaven?

- Listen, what's your name?

- Tracy.

- Tracy, you don't have to do this.

God doesn't want you to do this.

- They told me it has no feeling yet.

- I don't believe that's true.

- What are you saying? They're lying to me?

- Why are you doing this, Tracy?

- God will forgive me, right?

- That is a complicated question.

Julia: What do you look so thrilled about?

Your unit didn't call you, did they?

- I'm discharged, Julia.

Nothing, I just got thrown for a loop today that's all.

- What happened?

- A woman came who was headed over to that clinic.

She needed some help.

- What'd you tell her?

- That's it, nothing.

I didn't know what to tell her.

And I said it was wrong.

- Maybe you had no business speaking to her at all.

- Is that what you really believe?

Then what am I doing in this job in the first place?

Jesse: One, one-two-three, one-two-three.

One-two-three, one-two.

Danny: I got to go, bro.

- Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something

but I'm just not sure if now's the best time.

- Yeah, go ahead. What's up?

- Yeah, I saw you guys come out of that clinic

a couple of weeks ago.

Everything okay?

- Yeah, it was nothing.

We're good.

- 'Cause if you ever need to talk about anything,

anything at all.

- Appreciate it, but we're good.

Jesse: Work those feet, work those feet.

Hit it square.

Keep your eyes on the bag.

Pastor Gil: She's not training to get into ring, is she?

- Well, we don't even have a ring.

No, she's just having fun.

Sweet girl.

- You know, Jesse, I love what you're doing here

but I just hope that these kids are getting the message.

I love to see them all in church on Sunday,

their parents, too.

- Well I'm trying my best.

Is someone addressing this situation?

- I'm in the process of filing a complaint.

- Why, they didn't come up with it yet?

- I just told you, I'm working on it.

- Well it definitely needs to be addressed.

How about church?

How about the prayer meeting on Wednesday?

Can we at least bring it up then?

- Let's talk about it later.

- Hey, Pastor Gil, thanks.

Pastor Gil: I'd like to make a few announcements.

I encourage you all to attend

the prayer meeting this Wednesday.

Jesse Dean will be lifting up some issues

regarding community outreach.

Julia: What was that all about?

Jesse: What do you think? Pastor Gil: I like you all to please

stand and receive our Lord's blessing.

Miss Elsie: If it isn't the fighting minister.

- Hey, thanks for sticking up for me that day.

Let me walk you up.

- I've been walking these stairs for almost 50 years, okay?

- And I appreciate you not saying anything

about the fight and all.

- "A righteous man falling down before the wicked

"is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring."

Don't you know Proverbs?

It means you got to take a stand,

otherwise it stinks worse than crap.

You know crap?

- Yes, ma'am.

So my wife tells me that you're one

of the original members of the church,

but I haven't seen you there yet.

- I haven't been interested in going.

- Well, ma'am, if you ever need anything

or if there's anything I can do for you--

Actually, we're having a prayer meeting tomorrow

about the clinic across the street.

And we're going to be praying about what to do about that.

So maybe--

Maybe not.

Thank you, ma'am.

Jesse: Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

I work at the church here.

There was this woman Tracy,

she came into your clinic and--

- I can't discuss patient information.

- You don't have to tell me anything,

but I'm sure you know who I'm referring to.

She was crying, she seemed unsure about what to do.

Ma'am.

- Listen, sir, I can't discuss--

- She didn't seem in the right frame of mind

to make that sort of a decision.

- I got to go.

Jesse: Thank you all for coming.

I have never held a prayer meeting before,

so I'm not sure of the proper format.

So I would like to start by prayer for a situation that

I'm sure most of you are aware of.

And I'm referring to the clinic that's across the street.

I thought we could pray specifically

for what to do about that.

- It's a family planning clinic, right?

They do offer some good services.

- And they also have about five to 20 abortions a day.

- What are you suggesting, Jesse?

Juile's Mother: Well, didn't we file a grievance or something like that

about one of their advertisements that time, right?

- I was going to but there really was

no legal grounds for it.

- The best then we can do for those women

is pray for their salvation.

For their soul. - Yeah.

- Did you see that documentary on abortion protest?

- You're not implying a protest campaign with signs,

are you?

You're not going to change anyone's mind.

Not in that state anyway.

Jesse: I'm not sure what to do about it.

But a lot of women are going there

for more than just a regular check-up.

- We should be reaching out to the youth

and feeding the poor.

We need to be very careful not to pull the church

into the political arena.

I mean that could cause big problems here.

- I think what Jesse's trying to say is that we need to pray

for the situation across the street.

Jesse?

- Can I help you?

- Hey, I need to speak to someone about a business,

a conflict of interest?

I'm not really sure how to explain--

- What kind of business?

- It's an abortion clinic. - An abortion clinic?

You need to see a zoning officer.

- That clinic is perfectly legal.

Unless they're doing something to break the law

there's nothing you can do about it.

You say they're doing something illegal?

- Not to my knowledge.

- Well it's free country, my friend.

There's nothing you can do.

- Hey!

Hey.

- Hey, man.

How you doing?

- I heard you outside of the court room.

About the clinic?

- Oh.

- I thought maybe you could use this.

There in Fishtown.

- Fishtown, great.

What are you doing down here?

- They got me on a noise ordinance.

Judge threw it out.

Cop didn't measure the noise decibels, but I did.

- Well you can't argue with that, right?

Hey.

How do you stand out there like that?

Preach, all that opposition?

- Very carefully.

Once you speak the first word, the rest is easy.

gap will you take me back

will you show me

- What's up fellas?

What's up, sis?

Jesse: Wow, looking good y'all.

Hey, where's Camille?

- She dropped out.

Jesse: She dropped out?

Keep up the good work.

Danny: Hey.

- Hey, man, what's up?

- Can we talk for a minute?

Gigi: Danny said you saw us coming out of the clinic.

I'm scheduled this Friday.

I'm at 23 weeks, so I have to decide now.

My mom's telling me to get rid of it.

- It's not an it, Gigi.

Your baby is a real life.

Whatever you do, don't go through with this.

- Let's go.

- Babe, chill out.

- Look, wait, wait, wait.

What I mean is there are other choices you can make.

- Listen, man, her mom's going to kick her out

if she has the baby.

- So you want to keep the baby?

- I don't know how I can do it.

- Are you sure you're giving your mom enough credit here?

Have you really explained how you feel?

- You don't know my mom.

She doesn't understand.

She doesn't think I can handle anything.

- Well have you tried talking to her, Danny?

- We ain't on good terms, man.

- We were supposed to get married last summer

but then Danny lost his job

and now she thinks he's toying with me.

- She just don't like me in general.

Or anybody else. - Not true.

Not true.

- I think maybe you can talk to her.

- I don't think I'm the best person to do that.

I made you more harm than good.

In the meantime, why don't you try

and have one more talk with your mom?

- She ain't going to change her mind.

- I'd love to help out in any way I can

but we just don't have the manpower.

- Actually there's this young girl

and her mother's kicking her out

and she wants to keep the baby.

- What about your church?

Anyone there willing to help?

- I hadn't really asked.

- Well, you can always send her over here

but whatever your church can do

I suggest you follow those steps first.

We're overbooked, understaffed and barely funded.

- I understand.

- Wait a minute.

Here.

Take these in whatever else you need.

- Thank you.

- Don't get discouraged.

It's a good thing you're doing.

- Yeah, we'll see.

Jesse: I guess you didn't care too much for the prayer meeting.

- Should I have expected anything more?

Here.

- No, really I shouldn't.

- Take it!

- Now that is a great picture.

- My father's.

He loved the Black Douglas.

- The Black Douglas.

Are you related to this guy?

- According to my father, a direct descendant.

- Is this your father here?

- That's my husband.

He died 15 years ago.

- I'm sorry, I'm getting too nosy.

- That's fine.

That's my father.

- Is this his congregation?

- What was left of it.

My father was very vocal for civil rights

long before people ever started marching.

He lost half his congregation.

- Sorry, but is the Black Douglas,

was he a pastor or something?

- Oh no, no-no, he was a soldier.

Sir James Douglas.

Or to his enemies "The Black Douglas".

He lived in the early 1300s.

Douglas promised the king of Scotland that after he died

he would take his heart, preserve it

and carry it with him into battle.

- His actual heart.

- As the legend goes, he put it in an encasement

on a chain round his neck.

Then on the last day of his life he fulfilled his promise.

As he was grossly outnumbered,

he rushed on to the frontline,

ripped the chain from round his neck,

threw it forward into battle and then rushed

to the enemy to his death.

This is the Scottish Douglas Clan battle flag,

a symbol of courage and honor.

It was a gift from his congregation.

- Wow.

- He always told them, "If the Black Douglas

"charge into battle for the king of Scotland,

"shouldn't we have the courage to do it for our king?"

- Amen.

You ever talk to Gil about this stuff?

- Are you kidding?

The church has changed, Jesse.

We've become more like a lamp tucked under a basket

rather than a light on top of a hill.

- Yes, ma'am.

But that should never keep you from going to church, right?

- I've been to enough potluck dinners.

Now we have murder mill across the street

and what are we doing?

I'll tell you what we're doing, nothing.

- Miss Elsie--

- Keep doing your boxing, Mr. Dean.

At least you're swinging at something.

You can let yourself out.

- Yes, ma'am.

- I'm so sorry.

Jesse: Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

- Sir, I'm so sorry.

I'm terribly sorry all this happened.

- Thank you.

Who are you again?

- I'm sorry, I'm Jesse Dean from New Life Church.

- You messed with her head, man.

- I was just trying to help her.

She came to the church.

- What did you say to her?

- Nothing, I was just trying to help her.

- All you religious nuts do is to stick your nose

where it doesn't belong.

- Get him out of here!

- I'm terribly sorry.

- Get out !

- Ma'am, I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

I want to speak to the manager.

- She's not available.

- I just want to speak with the manager.

- Sir, you're going to have to leave.

- Did they tell you that you could wind up like this girl?

Did they tell you that?

Look at this picture.

Let me guess.

You're going to council these girls, is that right?

- All right, let's go, out.

- Don't do this, okay?

- Call the police now.

- A baby is a child of God.

Trust me.

You're going to regret this.

Let go!

- Sir, let's go.

- All right!

All right, enough!

Enough--

- Are you expecting someone?

- No.

- Mr. Dean, open up.

It's the police.

The pastor told us you live here.

Open the door now.

Mr. Dean, I see you're sticking to church business.

We have witnesses who claim you stormed

the family planning clinic and assaulted a security guard.

- I didn't assault him.

He kicked my bad leg and threw me on the ground.

- Let me guess, you were defending yourself.

- I wanted to talk to the manager.

They got physical, not me.

- Can somebody please explain to me what's going on?

- Yeah, your husband here seems to have a little bit

of a violent streak in him.

- Listen, a woman who went in there looking for help

end up killing herself.

I got upset.

It won't happen again.

- They're not pressing charges at this time,

but if you enter that clinic or walk on its property,

you're going to jail.

Evening, ma'am.

- When were you going to tell me about this?

- Like you would've understood.

- What's gotten into you?

If Pastor Gil knows, that means my mother knows.

I thought you were done with this?

Now you're turning into some kind of a fanatic?

- They knew she wasn't sure!

They made her go through it anyway!

Jesse: I only went in there to ask a few questions.

All right, that security guard

he's the one who stepped out of line,

he's the one who pushed me on the ground.

- I do not need the police

coming through these church doors.

This kind of a confrontation is only going to cause problems

and I do not want it in my church.

- But something needs to be said and done.

- We are pro-life, not pro-activists.

- This isn't about activism.

This is about being a voice for the voiceless,

about speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves.

- There are women in this church

who have abortion in their past.

You can't expect me to go to them and try to explain--

- Is it really about that?

Or is it about the Sunday turnout?

- What are you trying to say?

- I know you want to build this church and so do I,

but at what cost?

- Listen to me.

I will not compromise this church

over a fight that we cannot win

and I will not allow you to do it either.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir.

Julia: We have some guests here to see you.

Danny: We didn't know where else to go so I brought her here.

- So where you at with all this, Danny?

- For whatever she wants.

- So you're fine either way?

- I'm not following you.

- What I mean is she has the baby you're fine

or she has an abortion your fine?

- Julia.

- I don't feel right about having this abortion.

But like I said I want what she wants.

- That doesn't cut it.

This is just as much you're responsibility as it is hers.

She needs to know you're fully on board.

- Yes, I want us to have this baby.

- Good, because she needs to know you're with her

because you want to be.

And she'll need your support every step of the way.

- Here.

- Why don't you stay here tonight, Gigi?

Gigi: Are you sure?

- Sure.

You can stay on the couch.

Jesse: You asked her to stay out of spite, didn't you?

- What are we going to do?

Throw her out on the street?

- Lower your voice.

- You're the one who thinks he has to rescue everyone.

- I'm not going to pretend like everything's fine.

A woman has already died.

And now we have an 18-year old pregnant girl

who's got no place to stay.

And top of it all, they're murdering babies

right under our nose.

- Don't say that!

- I'm sorry but it's the truth.

I didn't ask for this.

- Your job is to run church outreach,

not a pregnancy center.

You should've taken these situations right to the church.

- And do what?

Have another prayer meeting?

This is what God would want, Julia.

Look at me.

He saved us for the world, not from the world.

- It's funny that as soon as it's something you want

you're all of a sudden doing God's work.

Are you sure it's God leading you or just guilt?

What is it you always say?

Sometimes what we run from,

God puts right in front of our face.

- And the only one running from this situation is you.

I'm not sure what's going on between you and Gigi

and really not my business.

That's why Gigi thought it might be a good idea

if you and I, we just talk.

- I'm listening.

- She wants to have the baby.

Now I know that ain't the best situation

but that baby is a child of God.

- How long have you known Gigi?

- Couple of weeks, I guess.

- Well I've known her a little longer than that

and she's about as ready to have a baby as she is.

You tell me God wants a baby coming into this situation?

- Can we get some ice cream?

- Yes, hunnies.

Go on in there, now don't make a mess.

What, your church going to bring us a few diapers?

- There's always adoption, please.

- Gigi ain't giving up no baby.

She may say that she is but in the end

I'll be taking care of that child.

- God doesn't want-- - Don't you God me.

Tell Gigi she can send as many church people as she wants.

As long as she's having a baby

she is not welcome in this house anymore.

- Yes, ma'am.

Miss Elsie: I haven't lived with anyone in over 15 years.

I wouldn't make a very good roommate.

There are many good shelters around.

I could find one for her.

- What about all that heart of the king stuff,

Miss Black Douglas?

I mean this is what you were talking about, right?

Take action, get involved.

Jesse: Listen, I'm not crazy, okay?

I'm not harboring any anger.

I'm fine.

How many more of these do we have to do?

Can't you just sign off on my file?

Dr. Epstein: I'd like you to give me an idea

of what happened first.

- All right.

We've been up into the mountains for days,

we could barely even stand at this point and we

came up on this village.

There was this old man and he was shouting and pointing,

and by the time I looked there was these men

up on the ridge and they just unloaded.

I mean there's gunfire everywhere, I

and there was this huge blast.

And even though I was a few feet away

I still got blown back in my leg.

My leg was hit.

And then this young woman, she came out of a hut

and she'd been hit in the thigh.

And she crawled over to me

and her leg was barely there.

I tried to save her but she bled out.

- You did everything you could, but could it be

you still feel some responsibility?

- When you have a chance to save someone's life

and they die, don't you always feel

like you could've done more to help?

- Are you sure that's all that's bothering you?

- I guess I just wasn't there for her.

- Right?

Okay, hun, I got to go, I think I'm here.

All right, bye.

- Ma'am? - Yeah?

- You don't have to do this.

- What?

- Aren't you going to, you know.

- Seriously?

I'm not pregnant.

I'm going in for a check-up.

Not everybody is having an abortion here, all right?

Get a life!

- Sorry.

- Yeah, whatever.

Jesse: Ma'am, I'd love for you to take a look at this

before you go in there.

Hey, ma'am, would you like to take a look at this

before you walk inside there?

- It's your buddy again.

Nut job.

- God bless you, dear. - Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, hey you.

Take one of these.

Change your life.

- Oh thank you.

- You're quite welcome.

Jesus loves you.

Jesse: If your baby is 10 weeks, he has a heartbeat.

10 fingers, 10 toes, measureable brain waves.

- Alexis, let's go. - Your baby is a person.

Don't take his life.

- Now!

- Sir, please.

- Tell it to someone who cares.

- Don't do this!

Don't take that baby's life.

- Don't speak to us, do you hear me?

You got it?

Get off of me!

Let's go inside now.

- We are right across the street.

- Let's go.

Miss Elsie: In the old days, it was never about money.

What's wrong?

You've never had Scottish meat pies before?

Delicious.

Back then you just get married and worked it out.

It always works out.

What are you doing?

We pray first.

Well what are you waiting for?

I'm getting hungry.

Danny: Me?

- You're the man at the table, aren't you?

- God, thank you for this food

and thank you for this child

and for bringing Miss Elsie in our lives.

And just please let her know how thankful we are

even though we don't always show it sometimes.

Amen.

- Show me how thankful you are by getting a job

and taking care of this young lady here.

- Mrs. Dean, can we have a quick chitchat?

It's about your husband.

- Look, my job is right here.

Can we do this some other time?

- It'll only be a minute, I promise.

- Hurry up.

- Come on!

- Has he always been the activist type?

- He's not an activist.

He does community outreach.

- Okay, and since he got home from the army,

has he done anything else out of character?

- Other than building those explosive devices at our house

there's really been nothing.

- This is not funny, Mrs. Dean.

Has he done anything weird, said anything weird,

started any violence?

- Never.

Are we done?

- You know, it just doesn't seem like he's got

his priorities straight.

You know, for someone to starting a new job.

- Are you sure your priorities are straight?

- Hey, what's going on here?

- It's nothing.

Let's just go.

- What do you want with my wife?

- Hey, calm down, man.

We're just talking here.

- You mean harassing her.

- Hey, watch your tone, pal!

- We're just trying to make sure everything's okay.

That's all.

- What are you doing here?

- Well I wanted to surprise you for lunch.

What'd they say?

- What do you think?

- Just tell me what they said.

- They wanted to know if you were showing

any signs of violence, if I felt I was in danger.

All normal questions for a minister's wife.

- And what did you say?

- Well, other than you trying to start

your own personal civil rights movement, all is fine.

- What is with you?

Why are you so against me standing against this clinic?

- Don't give me that!

You know I hate seeing women go into that clinic.

Do you even remember when I went?

- Of course, I remember.

I told you I would go with you and you said you were fine.

- How would you know?

You've never even acknowledged that it ever took place.

In six years, do you know how many times

you've even spoken to me about it?

- Oh come on, Julia.

You're going to put the blame on me?

You were the church girl.

I barely even knew who God was back then.

We barely even knew each other.

- But what's your excuse now?

Since then, every time the subject brought up

it's always a quick, "Julia, it's behind us.

"We're forgiven."

But, yeah, let me cheer you on as you help these women.

- You think this is easy for me?

I lost a child that day, too.

Do you know how I feel every time I see a six-year old kid?

- No, I don't.

- Listen, we were both selfish and scared back then.

You were the one who helped me see that.

Now we have to help others,

we have to move on.

- Maybe I can't move on.

Jesse: One, one-two, one-two-three, duck, duck.

That's it, come on.

Eyes on me.

Duck, duck.

Come on, keep it in, keep it in.

Keep your eyes on me, keep your eyes on me.

One, one-two hook.

Alexis: So were you serious when you said you could help me?

- I was.

Did you father do that to you?

- He's my husband.

- And he has no interest in keeping the baby?

- That's the problem.

It ain't his baby and he can't handle it.

So can you help me out or no?

- Yeah, we can help.

- So if you'll just take a look at that, all right?

- All right, thank you.

- All right.

Danny: Yo!

Hey.

- Hey, man.

Look at you.

- Yeah, man.

Come on, man.

- Look at you, man, you look great.

I'm proud, yeah.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Carlson, but she didn't come in

for her appointment.

- No, you check again.

- I checked.

- Alexis Carlson.

- I don't see her name here, sir.

Now you look again!

- Sir, she didn't come in.

Travis: Where is she?

I know she came to the church.

Danny: Who is this punk?

Jesse: Back off, man, all right?

Just calm down.

- I told you to mind your own business.

I told you to mind your own--

- Can we just talk for a second?

- I told you.

- I know this situation must seem difficult for you.

- You don't know!

You stay away from her. - Alexis: Travis!

- You heard me, stay away!

- These people are trying to help me.

Leave them alone!

I'm having this baby!

- No, you're not.

- Get your hands off me!

Jesse: Let go off her!

- Hey, enough of you!

You --

- Calm down, all right?

I want to help you. - Let me go.

- I don't want any trouble, okay?

Relax, all right?

Relax.

- Let me go, let me go.

- I don't want any trouble, all right?

- Okay. - Okay?

Now you stay away from her, okay?

And you just take off.

- Okay.

- You ready? - Yes.

- I'm going to let you up and you take off.

All right, come on, come on, come on.

Let's go.

Let's get you up, all right.

Just take off.

- Is this what you want?

- Put the gun down.

- What you got to say now, preacher man?

No words of wisdom?

What happened, huh?

What happened?

Are you happy now? - Don't shoot, please.

- Is this what you want?

- He ain't going to shoot nobody.

- Oh yeah? - Don't!

- An armed gunman was shot and killed today by police

outside of this family planning clinic

in the Frankford section of the city.

The man was allegedly threatening a pro-life activist

who was trying to prevent the victim's wife

from entering the clinic.

Autumn Lexer. - Julia: I got to go.

- Channel Six News.

- Sit tight.

We'll take your statement in a minute, all right?

- You think this is my fault, don't you?

- If anyone it was me.

I was only trying to help that girl.

- It's funny how helping can be perceived so differently.

What makes someone decide to be a protester

or however it is you refer to what you do

to take it to that level?

- I guess I'm compelled or obligated.

- So it's not a certain church's rule

or something like that?

- I wouldn't say that.

It's more like how someone sees God's rule.

You shouldn't kill means you should protect life, too.

You feel like you're helping people?

Is that what motivates you?

Is that why you do what you do?

- What I wanted was to provide a safe place

for women to get the care that they deserve.

- To get abortions?

- To end their pregnancies, yes.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- Hey, Mr. Dean, let's go.

Will: You saw this coming, pastor.

We're supposed to be saving souls, not pushing them away.

Judge: Taking in consideration

your very impressive military record,

there won't be any jail time this time.

But if there is any further violence

associated with you and that clinic

or you come within 30 feet of that clinic

you, sir, will most assuredly face jail time.

Is that clear?

Jesse: Yes, Your Honor.

Judge: $200 fined, disorderly conduct.

You're free to go.

Julia: What if he promises to not be outside

of the clinic anymore?

Just give him another chance.

- You know what something like this could do to a church?

Protesting, reporters, now a death across the street--

- There's been death across the street

for the past six months.

What if he goes before the congregation

and explains how he regrets all of this and apologizes?

Mr. Adorable: Hey, how you doing, Juanita?

Look at you, you're beautiful.

Hey, sorry about what happened, man.

You need me to do anything you let me know.

I could talk to your pastor.

I'm good with people.

- Got any PB and J?

- Charles.

- Not today, buddy, sorry.

- This is for you.

I saw you on the news.

Mom said that you're saving babies.

That's you and that's the baby.

- Thank you, buddy.

- I'll take some soup.

- You got it.

- You got Charles eating soup.

That's a big miracle right there.

Oh hey, Dwayne, how you doing?

Pastor Gil: Before we begin, Jesse Dean would like to say a few words.

- Stay here.

Don't move.

My husband agreed to come up here today to promise

to go back to serving this church and community

that we both have grown to love so much

and to agree to stop his outreach

to the clinic across the street.

But I'm up here now to tell you he's not going to do that.

I was like you.

I thought standing in front of an abortion clinic

was extreme.

What good can that do?

Our job isn't to protest,

it's simply to share the love of God.

But then I had a change of heart.

We all talk about how much we love children

and how we're pro-life in everything we do and say.

We hate abortion, it's murder, it's terrible and so on.

But if we really believe that why do we get upset

when someone starts treating it like murder?

And that's all my husband has been doing.

He was doing what he believes is right.

I'd like to say another thing.

And, mommy, I'm truly sorry.

Six years ago, we took the life of our unborn child.

To this day, it haunts the both of us

like you can never imagine.

But you know, with the very few people

that I've shared that with all I've ever been told

is how forgiven we were.

And I do believe we're forgiven.

But, isn't this about more than that?

And if so, isn't it our responsibility

to protect these children regardless of the consequences?

He's got to do what's right, even if that means

that when he steps off that curb he'll be going to jail.

So tomorrow when that clinic reopens

I'll be standing by my husband

and I'll be praying for those women and their babies.

But I'll be saying another prayer, too,

thanking God for using my husband to open my eyes

and hoping that he opens yours as well.

Julia: Sorry, I'm late.

Gigi, we have some special guests.

- Gigi.

Minister: Can we begin?

Now?

- When do we want it? - Now!

Miss Elsie: Julia.

Miss Elsie: I want you to have this.

- What do we want? - Choice!

- When do we want it? - Now!

- What do we want? - Choice!

Jesse: It's a good thing.

- We got this, bro.

- Aren't you going to do something?

- He's at proper distance

and they're perfectly within their rights.
