Now you're about to be an amazing entrepreneur.

Thanks, love.

Can't wait to see you on the cover

of "Enterprise, "Ebony," "Boss Magazine."

And say it with me...

"The next big thing."

Okay. I'm excited too.

But it's come at a great sacrifice.

It'll be worth it.

You and your team have been working hard for a year

to land this account, and they love you.

All you have to do is present it,

and all your troubles will be over.

You've earned it. No one can take that away.

And your daughter is going to be really proud.

You're setting the best example for her.

You know, when she graduated from high school,

I had no idea how I was going to pay for college,

but I took a chance... that's going to pay off.

You're right, I think she will be proud.

I know she will be. And so will I.

She has some type of surprise for me.

Oh, okay. That sounds exciting.

- Yeah. - Hey, will, I see you tonight?

Are we celebrating?

Now, you know I don't like celebrating,

but...

I'll let you know.

Mm-hmm. You know, your team's not going to let you have

[ Cellphone rings, beeps ]

Mommy! Good mornin'!

Today's the big day!

Aw! Thank you, love. So glad that you remembered.

[Allison] How could I forget?

It's the only thing you talked about for the last month.

And we talk 3 to 4 times a day. This is major.

Are you ready to be a superstar?

My mom, the superstar.

You do have a face for television,

and I'm excited about all the gifts that come with it.

It's not that big,

but, yes, I am ready for my presentation.

I've been up all night. The team's been up all night.

But I know that we're prepared.

And gifts? What gifts?

I made you who you are.

If it wasn't for me telling you to go to pursue your dreams

and not worry about me, where would you be?

[Linda] You're right. You're right.

Okay. One gift.

But let the ink try on the check before you go shopping crazy.

How are your classes going?

They are definitely not intro classes anymore.

They are progressively getting harder,

but I've adjusted.

College is nothing to play with. You have to stay focused.

[Allison] Mom, don't even worry!

I even cut out a few friends.

Some people don't come to school for college,

but I had to learn that the hard way.

Well, it took me years to learn it.

I'm glad you got it in just a year.

New classes, new friends, new year.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

As I knew you would.

[Allison] Don't try to change the topic.

This day is about you.

And after your meeting today, then we meet and celebrate!

I'm so excited!

Oh, and then I'll show you my surprise.

- What surprise? - Well, it's not a surprise

for you, per se, but it's something I think

you'll be very, very excited about.

Have you heard from your father?

Yeah, he said he was going to come by this morning.

He hasn't stopped by yet?

[Linda] No, he hasn't.

[ Knocking ] Speak of the devil.

Wait, was there someone at your door or my door?

- Well, I think both. - Okay, well, be nice to Dad.

[ Insistent knocking ] Okay. Someone's at my door.

I love you, text me after your meeting tonight.

I'll see you later. Love you!

I love you, too. [ Knocking ]

I'm coming! Be patient for a change!

What is this?

I thought you paid for this month.

Okay, I can't keep covering you.

She's both of our daughter.

Lower your voice, I am not your daughter.

Linda, I am tired of this. Aren't you in a relationship?

Can he help? What man can't help his woman?

Keep Charlie out of this. I'll have the money.

They're giving us a check today.

I'll be able to pay you back... and there's no reason

that Allison needs to know any different.

And you always say this, okay?

Every meeting is the big meeting for all your get-rich schemes.

That is not fair!

I've been working at this marketing firm by myself

for a while... it's not a scheme!

I work hard, Ralph! I have dreams too!

So, what's going on? Do you need help?

I don't need anything from you.

Don't be like that. Okay?

We have a daughter that's in college.

Listen, if we can't work as a team, then we fail.

That means she fails.

Then what do you want me to do?!

Just communicate with me, okay?

I don't like surprises!

Allison is my everything.

Listen, I'll pay this one, and then you can pay me back

after your meetin'.

So is this the big one?

Don't act like you care.

I've always cared about your success.

Okay? Don't be like that. Is this the big one?

Yeah. They've already agreed upon the terms.

They just want us to present in front of the board.

They're giving us a check today. The whole team's excited.

This is what we've been working on for over a year.

I'm proud of you. No, really, I am!

You're becoming the woman I knew you were.

Listen, I'm sorry for acting like that, okay?

You know, I get passionate about our daughter.

You know that?

I know my past is questionable.

I made a lot of mistakes and a lot of bad decisions.

That's the old me.

I'm focused now.

I'm following my dreams and going after my goals.

I just need you to have a little faith.

Okay? I trust you.

Thank you.

Do you have a minute? I've been having...

Listen, I got to get on down the road.

Okay? Maybe tomorrow.

You gotta get ready for your meeting anyway.

What time does your team get here?

but Allison told me you were on your way.

You talked to Allison today.

She has a big surprise for you, so be ready.

She pregnant?

Don't play.

No, we raised a great girl.

I'm sure whatever it is, I'll be proud.

Don't just be proud, be excited.

She worked hard on this one.

How you know and I don't?

'Cause she had to borrow from me.

You're right! Shade, but you are right.

Okay. I'll be excited. I promise.

Listen, you're going to have a great day.

I can feel it.

Get on out of here.

I have to get dressed and finish getting prepared.

Okay, I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

Listen, text me after the meeting, okay?

I knew you would do it.

Why are you not dressed?

And why did I just see Ralph leaving?

First thing, good morning.

Second thing, mind your business.

And third, I'm getting dressed right now.

[Della] Sure.

You know me so well.

Can I ask you something?

[Della] Yeah. What's going on?

How have you been sleeping?

I mean, any strange dreams or anything?

Well, after this Corona craziness,

I don't think any of us have been able to get back to

a normal anything.

But...

to answer your question,

I've been feeling really anxious lately,

and due to this million dollar deal you're 'bout to close!

But other than that, I've been sleeping okay.

Why? What's going on with you?

My dreams have been getting worse and worse,

and they don't feel like dreams anymore.

They feel real, like I'm reliving a moment or something.

[Della] Can you explain?

Because maybe you're having serious anxiety

or nervousness and it's affecting your dreams.

I read that somewhere.

Stress can be overwhelming.

You have to take care of your body.

And you know you be eating all that meat!

I told you that meat has spirits in it.

Please, no vegan talk this early in the morning.

But maybe you're right...

About going vegan?

No, about being stressed!

I'm battling bills, a new man, an old man,

my daughter in college.

That's a lot.

And this deal, even though it's been all positive,

it's still being a lot of hard work and headache.

[Della] But it's worth it. Is what you've been working for.

What we've been working for.

And I told you when this all started that nothing could

and nothing would keep you from your destiny.

Look at us now.

You were right.

Look at us now.

Our time is now.

Exactly. Now go get dressed and I'll listen out

for the others to come up.

Then we can get out of here.

Did you need me to make you some more coffee?

Yeah.

It's been a long night.

It's okay.

I'll take care of everything. Now go.

- Hey, best friend. - Hey, best friend!

I'm really sad that you're leaving for this weekend.

I'm excited for you.

I know, this is my first trip

back home, so I'm so excited.

- Are you packed? - Of course I am!

I was packed, like, a week ago.

You know packing brings me anxiety.

Oh, I know. Wait, what do you think your mom

is going to say about the big surprise?

She is going to be crazy...

if she has the energy from the day she's about to have.

She is signing a million-dollar deal today.

So you know what that means.

Uh, shopping?!

No, but I won't have to worry about her anymore.

And I can finally prove to her

how big of a responsible adult I can be.

I just want her to be proud of me.

You're the best thing that's ever happened to her.

And she loves you. - You're right.

I'm just so excited!

Me too. But when are you coming back?

Sunday night. I'm not staying long.

Okay. Just please, like, please be careful.

I mean, the world, it's... it's changed, Allison.

People, they've... they've gone crazy since this pandemic.

I mean, you can't be too sure or just trust just anybody.

I know. I'm prepared.

And I'm going to call you every hour until I get home.

And I'm not stopping unless I absolutely have to.

Are you sure that you don't want me to go with you?

I'm sure. I'm going to be okay.

I promise. I'm going to be good.

- Okay. - Plus, I need to take your car.

Mine's been acting silly lately, if that's okay.

Of course!

I'm not doing it this weekend. Just homework.

Thank you! And now I will be extra careful.

I'm leaving momentarily, but I should get there around 3:00.

Okay, just remember, call me every hour.

Of course. You sound like my mom this morning.

And she just wanted me to text.

Well, text her, call me, whatever works.

But I'm your mama on this campus.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Laughter ]

Man, I am broke.

I put every cent I have into this project

I need today to be over with

so I can go to the bank tomorrow.

[Woman] I'm right there with you.

Last night I went to get

some liquor at the liquor store

and my card got rejected.

The nice man behind me paid for me.

Girl, you know you didn't have any money on that card!

- Don't judge me. - Yeah, it's been tough.

I maxed out all of my credit cards.

When she told me we had a meeting today

to finalize the deal, I nearly lost it.

I was so excited I barely even slept last night.

I'm used to having no money,

but I am not used to being broke.

Please explain the difference.

No money is when you can't really get what you want.

Broke is when you're doing something strange

for a piece of change... you know what I mean, Della!

TMI... and, no, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Whatever. I'm just glad we made it happen.

Not a moment too soon, 'cause I really do not want

to have to move back home.

This needs to happen today,

or else I'm going to be the one who's going to do

a little something strange for a little piece of change.

- You know what I mean? - [ Laughs ]

Ah, there goes a superstar! Get it!

You ready to make some money?

Eh! [ Laughs ]

Boss lady!

We about to be prosperous.

Oh, thank you. Thank you, everyone.

I appreciate you all and all the sacrifices

you've made for the team just to get us to this day.

And we appreciate you.

You are our hero.

We will follow you till the end of the earth!

Especially Jeff.

Whatever. [ Laughter ]

Wait, so were y'all up all night or was it just me?

I slept like a log. I'm not worried at all.

We are prepared for this, we have a great presentation.

Plus, you know it is our destiny.

I concur, but I didn't sleep well, though.

So I got up and I watched Beyoncé's documentary,

then "Ozark," then reruns of "The Office."

So I'm just gonna sleep in the car.

But don't mind my snoring.

I had a long night too, but I am very excited.

Well, who's ever in the front with me

needs to be awake and alert.

[Jeff] I'll accompany you in the front.

That way I can distract you

and make sure you don't fall asleep on this two-hour drive.

I'm fine! I haven't been sleeping well for weeks,

so nothing is new.

I promise I'm fine with driving.

Okay. I just don't want us to crash for something

and then end up on the side of the road,

and all of a sudden, we miss the meeting.

And then it's back to corporate America.

Why would you say that?! You so ignorant!

Why would you put that energy out there like that?

We are going to be just fine and great.

I rebuke that energy.

You guys know I was just kidding, r-right?

I don't think she'd be putting our lives in danger.

- Thank you. - We did not come this far

to be driven off the side of the road.

What time is it? Shouldn't we be going?

We don't want to be late to the biggest day of our business life.

Yes, enough negative talk. It's time to go. Y'all ready?

We were waiting for you!

Hey, Linda, did you ever get back with that program

that was asking you to donate? They e-mailed me again.

No. Right now, I just don't have the time

to help anyone, you know?

Hey, I get it. I do not even understand

why you're considering it to begin with.

Sometimes you got to be a little selfish

to achieve your own goals...

there's a time and place for everything.

Yeah, right now is neither the time

nor the place to be helping people we don't know.

I mean, I'm sure as time goes on, my opinion will change.

Probably not.

this presentation one more time,

I'm going to scream!

Talk about something else, please.

Health care patients have more options than ever before.

With so much information available online, they no longer

have to choose the closest hospital... they get a choice.

And we want them to choose our hospital.

Technically it's not our hospital.

We'll be working for them. We will be helping patients

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.

I'm just excited!

So excited that now I have to pee.

Linda, can we stop

before we head down this never ending road?

Actually, I need to go to the restroom as well.

Plus, I want an energy drink.

All right. There is one station before we get on the highway,

but we have to hurry... I'm not trying to be late.

We will not be long, Mom.

Hey, um, Della?

Can you check my phone and make sure that it's working?

- Why? What's wrong? - [Linda] Oh, nothing.

It's just Allison is supposed to text me

before she left for school, and I don't want to miss it.

I checked it. It's on. See?

Girl! You're crazy.

- But thank you. - Trust me,

Allison is the best thing you ever did.

I'm sure you won't miss her text,

and she'll be extra careful.

You're right. I mean, I guess I'm just on edge, but...

You're right.

Okay. Let's get some snacks!

[Jeff] Ohh.

Snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks!

Hey, we can go this way or we can take Highway 2.

But I heard Highway 2 always has a lot of cops.

How much longer if we go this way?

Same amount of time.

Well, remember, Pam has warrants, so let us avoid

the police, we'll take this highway.

Well, I wasn't snooping.

I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay.

His name is James Santana.

Because he looks more like a James than a Dylan.

[Jeff] Why would he lie about his name?

Yeah. Why would he do that?

This...

This one was stronger, more energy,

This was the strongest premonition that I've ever had.

How long have you been having these premonitions for?

Was I in any of them? I hope not.

For about two weeks on and off.

I had a strong one this morning.

I remember every detail.

Tell us more.

[Linda] Um... I was in bed,

and then I heard a bump against the door.

But it wasn't my bedroom door.

It was... it looked like a hotel door.

And the number on the door was 19.

I look down on the ground and I saw some blood.

And the thumping, it just got... it got louder and louder.

So I got up. I went to the door and then the thumping stopped.

When I put my ear to the door...

I heard a voice scream,

"Help me." - [Jeff] Wait.

We were at mile 19 when we stopped to help Dylan.

- James. - [Jeff] Whoever! The stranger!

I remember getting out of the car

and seeing the mile marker right on the side of the road.

Clear as day! - What does this mean, guys?

I'm starting to get scared.

Linda, what else did you see or hear?

Nothing else. I-I woke up. That was it.

This is crazy!

Let us get to the meeting before anything else strange happens.

I hope that 19 stands for 19 million when they cut the check.

Look! Over there!

[Jeff] How do you know that is even him?

Everybody has that car... that is the famous Uber car.

We do not have time for this foolishness.

Well, let's go and find out.

[Della] I-I think it's time we let this go.

How far are you willing to go for a stranger?

What exactly are you going to do differently than before?

Let's go!

Jeff, g-go with her.

Why me? Just because I'm Chinese,

Ooh, I hope they're going to be okay.

They will. We will.

This is just a small detour.

Nothing more. Everything will be okay.

Why didn't I bring my gun?

[Jeff] What are you doing?

Do not touch anything.

I don't know. But you know what?

Something just doesn't seem right.

What are you going to do when he comes back to the car?

We should go.

I do not think he's going to be happy to see us.

- I don't know, but... - What is it?

I don't know, but I keep seeing the number 19 everywhere.

It's like I told you in the car, it's in my dreams,

the premonition... everywhere.

Well, 19 is a very common number so I'm sure it'll come up.

What was the highway marker that we stopped by?

♪♪

[Waitress] Hi. What can I get you today?

Oh...

What, you're not eating?

Do you read the Bible?

Yes, actually, I do.

Genesis 13:5.

The herdsmen of Lot and Abram were quarreling

because they didn't have adequate land

to support their flock.

So, Abram, he gave Lot a choice of where to settle.

Lot surveyed the land.

And he headed down into the lush Jordan Valley.

Now, that choice

began the gradual yet steady...

Spiritual decline of Lot.

First he looks towards Sodom.

Then he moves his tents near Sodom.

Next, we find him living in Sodom.

Then finally, he's at the gate,

where he becomes a city councilman, loses his wife,

barely escapes with his own life and his daughters.

And if we go off the Old Testament pages,

we find him hiding in the cave,

where his daughters make him drunk

and commit incest.

And the results of those disgraceful nights

are the Moabites

and the Ammonites,

Israel's perennial enemies.

All because of Lot's choice to live in Sodom.

So what are you saying?

Choices often result in eternal

significant consequences.

One simple choice.

Linda, why did you make your choice?

What choice?

- The choice to help a stranger. - I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You didn't think about the consequences?

I think I thought more about the possibilities,

not the consequences.

The possibility that I was dangerous

or that I might be a serial killer?

Or that I might hurt you and your friends?

You didn't think your choices would result in

eternal significant consequences?

I think I just had faith.

Wait, are you dangerous?

how far would you go to help a stranger?

We've been following this developing story

as a group of strangers helped police

to discover a sex trafficking ring

that has been plaguing Los Angeles County

and now has been completely uncovered,

thanks to the bravery of a few strangers

and a hunch of one woman.

With that first arrest 19 days ago of James Santana,

police and FBI have been able to uncover the ringleaders

and find over 19 girls

that had gone missing over this year alone.

Route 39 had been the main road taken by the abductors

as they stole girls from local colleges

and were able to get off the major highway unseen.

Police believe if it had not been for the bravery of a few,

this sex trafficking ring would still be in operation.
