00:04:52Unrepentant in any way or just another thug with a grudge and a chip on his shoulder. They're not gonna budge with your sentencing now
00:04:58I'm gonna work on getting you out of solitary. But if

00:06:12Know he's seeing my wife. I
00:06:16Couldn't protect her from here and he can I get it did he threaten you directly things don't work that way

00:10:42They're just doing their job. They don't want to hear the words. They don't want others to be free in here

00:14:45Go.

00:14:52My favorite sport is soccer. My favorite color is yellow.
00:15:08You guys did great. Take a seat.
00:15:14So what do you think we did all this?
00:15:16So we could listen to each other.
00:15:18Exactly right. So you could listen.
00:15:20Because if you can't really listen, you can't hear anyone else.
00:15:24And if you go around feeling like nobody listens to you, then you get mad.
00:15:29And you do dumb stuff.
00:15:31I wanted each one of you to know what it feels like to have someone listen to you.
00:15:35Who knows what a parable is.
00:15:42It's a story with a lesson.
00:15:44Repeat after him. It's a story with a lesson.
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:52Say you, you was the smallest kid.
00:15:56And you had no friends.
00:15:59No brothers, no backup.
00:16:02And say you had to fight the toughest, meanest kid around.
00:16:06The one no one messes with.
00:16:08The one everyone's scared of.
00:16:10There was no way around it.
00:16:13So, what would you do?
00:16:15Get a gun.
00:16:16Shoot him.
00:16:17I'll hide so I can follow him home.
00:16:19Those are some crazy answers there.
00:16:23Do you want to get caught with a gun?
00:16:25Do you know you can get jail time if you're caught with it?
00:16:29That's not where you want to celebrate your birthdays.
00:16:32In prison.
00:16:37You know who had to face this same type of situation I'm talking about?
00:16:42David.
00:16:43Who's David?
00:16:44Isn't that the guy from PS34?
00:16:50David, he was about your age.
00:16:53He had to find his own way.
00:16:56Herding sheep and goats all day.
00:16:59Rain beaten down or sun hot as hell.
00:17:02Sleeping outside most nights.
00:17:04So he could take care of his flock.
00:17:06So nobody would steal it from him.
00:17:08He learned to keep it together.
00:17:10No matter what.
00:17:14So one day, David's minding his own business.
00:17:17When he learns that the Philistine army is coming.
00:17:19And they're going to try to cross the mountain right where his flock is.
00:17:23And he knows how these guys do.
00:17:25They're going to kill his sheep.
00:17:27Roast his goats.
00:17:29And feed them to their army.
00:17:31Unless...
00:17:33Unless he can find a way to stop them.
00:17:36But what's he going to do?
00:17:38He's just a kid, right?
00:17:41So he goes down the mountainside.
00:17:43And he finds the Australian King's army there too.
00:17:45Ready to fight.
00:17:47Except there's a problem.
00:17:50They got tanks, right?
00:17:53This is 3,000 years ago.
00:17:55Where there's only foot soldiers and spears and arrows and swords.
00:18:01So there were two big armies.
00:18:03But neither of them wanted to fight the other.
00:18:05It was a standoff.
00:18:07Until the Philistines announced they were going to send one guy.
00:18:11Their biggest, toughest guy.
00:18:13To go up against one of the Israelites.
00:18:15In single combat.
00:18:17And they had to choose someone.
00:18:20So...
00:18:22Who's it going to be?
00:18:24It turns out...
00:18:26No one.
00:18:28Nobody wants to face the Philistine's best guy.
00:18:30Goliath.
00:18:32He's huge, massive.
00:18:34A giant.
00:18:36He'll annihilate anybody they send.
00:18:38It's a done deal.
00:18:40But then...
00:18:41David comes up.
00:18:43And he says...
00:18:44I'm going to go fight that dude.
00:18:46Everybody's like, you're crazy.
00:18:48You're going to get killed.
00:18:49You're too skinny.
00:18:50You're too little.
00:18:51All you have is a slingshot.
00:18:56You know what it says here?
00:18:59In chapter 33.
00:19:02Verse 16.
00:19:06It says...
00:19:08The king will not be saved by a great army.
00:19:14Nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
00:19:39Chapter 3.
00:19:59I'm sorry.
00:20:01I was just hoping she was here.
00:20:03Why can't you work this out?
00:20:05She won't talk to me.
00:20:06She won't see me.
00:20:07Bah.
00:20:08You were leading that crew in prison.
00:20:10Now you're scared of your ex-wife?
00:20:13No.
00:20:14You got me.
00:20:15She's the one who made this complicated, Ma.
00:20:17I'm not your Ma.
00:20:18Not to you.
00:20:19Not now.
00:20:22You messed up bad.
00:20:25I know.
00:20:26You're right.
00:20:27I'm trying to fix that now.
00:20:31Building that church back up was...
00:20:33Yeah.
00:20:34Me and Papi.
00:20:35It's a good thing.
00:20:38He's a good man.
00:20:44The kid.
00:20:45What's his name?
00:20:50Hector.
00:20:55I take care of him when she works.
00:20:58So now...
00:20:59You go and find her.
00:21:02Make her see you.
00:21:05Talk to you.
00:21:07Here.
00:21:09It's her address.
00:21:19Do you know that I dream?
00:21:23I dream that you and me...
00:21:26We have a nice house.
00:21:29An apartment.
00:21:32And eventually we have a child.
00:21:36We share a lot of things together.
00:21:39I want to be together.
00:21:43Especially when I'm listening to music.
00:21:47And I don't go out anymore.
00:21:48I don't go dancing.
00:21:52I see...
00:21:54Other couples dancing and it brings me down so...
00:21:58I stay home.
00:22:01And then they play a song that we loved.
00:22:05And I dance.
00:22:09Alone.
00:22:23I can't help myself.
00:22:25Something inside me still can't let you go.
00:22:56I love you.
00:23:21Hey.
00:23:23Take whatever you need.
00:23:24It's what it's there for.
00:23:29Can you sign in?
00:23:38Miguel.
00:23:39Your mother comes here, right?
00:23:42You have a sister.
00:23:45You're not living at home anymore, are you?
00:23:49Can I ask why?
00:23:55Miguel.
00:23:57There's help for you here.
00:23:58If you want it.
00:24:00No more questions asked.
00:24:11What?
00:24:13You think you're bad now?
00:24:16You think you're bad now?
00:24:17You think you're going to send all those little videos on the internet?
00:24:21Answer me.
00:24:22Neto.
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24Oh, Neto, please.
00:24:25You think I'm joking with you?
00:24:28I kill kids like you just for fun.
00:24:30What's going on here?
00:24:31What does it look like, pastor?
00:24:33Huh?
00:24:35I'm going to smoke this little piece of...
00:24:36Whatever it is.
00:24:37Why don't you put the gun down?
00:24:39We can probably talk better that way.
00:24:40Don't you think?
00:24:46Neto.
00:24:47It's Neto, right?
00:24:49You're the only one talking.
00:24:50Can you speak for your crew here?
00:24:53So why don't you let everybody go?
00:24:55And you and me will figure this out.
00:24:57Sound good?
00:24:59Just walk away, pastor.
00:25:00You don't belong here.
00:25:02We don't want you here.
00:25:04You're making a big mistake, Neto.
00:25:06Believe me.
00:25:08Things can only end badly for you, friend.
00:25:10I don't want that.
00:25:11Shut up!
00:25:14Listen.
00:25:15Put the gun down.
00:25:16Let Miguel and the others go.
00:25:18Let Miguel and the others go.
00:25:20They were never here.
00:25:21You understand?

00:26:59This is my family.
00:27:03Who I live and die for.
00:27:09There have always been only three rolls for us to travel.
00:27:13Prison, death, ER.
00:27:19We're gangsters.
00:27:23And we're crazy.
00:27:26But we're also people with feelings.
00:27:36And I like to express my feelings.
00:27:42For little sister over there, who lost her brother tonight.
00:27:51Without loyalty in the gang, there's nothing.
00:27:58Blood in, blood out.
00:28:07I am here with you.
00:28:12Cops and narcos have been coming down hard on us.
00:28:16Pushing us back.
00:28:18So no banger can make a living anymore.
00:28:21But hear me now.
00:28:24I grew up on these streets.
00:28:27I go inside and I come back out.
00:28:30And I come back here.
00:28:33Because this is home.
00:28:38And no one's going to keep us off our streets, our turf.
00:28:45No kind of narco or cop.
00:28:49And no kind of holy joke pastor, neither.
00:28:57Use the gun I gave you?
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:14You didn't close the deal.
00:29:19You want to be a closer son, huh?
00:29:23I don't know.
00:29:27Look at me.
00:29:28Look at me.
00:29:31From now on, you're going to do exactly what I tell you.
00:29:36Entiende?
00:29:42It's not alone.
00:29:53Rape show, gang unit.
00:29:56As of about, well, literally three hours ago, I just got assigned to this area.
00:30:01You know your church is right in the middle of a highly active neighborhood, right?
00:30:04You're aware of that?
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:07I call it the green zone.
00:30:09It's a place I hope these kids can look to a better future than what these gangs have to offer.
00:30:13Okay, well, just be careful.
00:30:16I know.
00:30:17I'm sure you do.
00:30:19You get a look at the shooter, pastor?
00:30:22Never seen him around before.
00:30:25They called him Neto.
00:30:26Neto, is that right?
00:30:28Okay, well, we're cameras in the area, so we'll call you down in the precinct as soon as we find anything.
00:30:33Looks like they're trying to send you a message of some sort.
00:30:38Any idea what that might be?
00:30:40They're trying to send me a message.
00:30:42It's obviously because they started hearing my message.
00:30:45And I'm only going to continue.
00:30:51Rookie.
00:30:53Sir, I got the slug out.
00:30:55Should I get his ballistics?
00:30:56Yeah, get his ballistics.
00:30:57And you can return the Bible there to the pastor.
00:31:01We'll be hearing from us.
00:31:31Shut up!
00:31:53You talked to him, didn't you, pastor?
00:31:59I did.
00:32:04He was real smart.
00:32:17Angelica.
00:32:20Your bro...
00:32:21Your brother's...
00:32:24I know, Ma.
00:32:41Say that again for me, please.
00:32:58My son was...
00:33:04He wasn't part of any gang.
00:33:06He used to go along as well.
00:33:11Angelica.
00:33:16Angelica!
00:33:31You used to be these kids, pastor.
00:33:38Help us.
00:33:41It's got to change.
00:33:46I'm not going anywhere.
00:34:12That smoking will kill you.
00:34:14You're right.
00:34:15And shooting won't.
00:34:21Did you know where your brother got mixed up in?
00:34:27Word is, you did some serious time.
00:34:31And then you found Jesus before you got out.
00:34:39You could say that.
00:34:42Everybody knows you can never get out.
00:34:46What about you?
00:34:48Are you like everyone?
00:34:51Ain't like some other sisters.
00:34:53I know how to mind my own business.
00:35:01I should have done better at looking out for him.
00:35:28You're mine now.
00:35:34You hear me, pastor?
00:35:51You better think this through, Nero.
00:35:54Cops are out looking for you.
00:36:00I don't see no cops, pastor.
00:36:06No one can stop us, pastor.
00:36:10Yo!
00:36:11Let's go!
00:36:41Let's go.
00:37:04So they recruit the kids young, usually elementary school,
00:37:07sometimes junior high.
00:37:09How many more kids could be saved?
00:37:11Okay.
00:37:12You want to talk community outreach,
00:37:13you should leave a card for my rep.
00:37:14But right now, I'm trying to ID a shooter.
00:37:16So do me a favor and look at this video.
00:37:18You recognize anybody?
00:37:22Sure.
00:37:23But that doesn't mean they did it.
00:37:26Why don't you have a seat here, pastor?
00:37:29We're on the same side, pastor.
00:37:31You should remember that.
00:37:34Anyway, we bottlenecked Ramirez and his outfit down to here.
00:37:38This line right there.
00:37:39Which means he's not able to make his regular illegal income.
00:37:41Weapons and drug trafficking, gambling, extortion, you name it.
00:37:44So instead he's got kids out there snatching phones,
00:37:46robbing stores, doing stick-ups.
00:37:48They pull it off and load in.
00:37:51That's right.
00:37:52Now they're a bonafide gangbanger.
00:37:55It's nice, huh?
00:37:56Anyway, Officer Glenn here trolls through these sites during the day
00:38:00trying to ID known offenders before they hit again.
00:38:02Cyber-banging.
00:38:03They make these videos where they threaten kids,
00:38:06even their parents or teachers.
00:38:08So it is a brave, stupid new world out there
00:38:10since you were out on those streets.
00:38:15It's like if someone shot a kid last night
00:38:18and it's my job to put that person away.
00:38:20Come to the memorial tonight at 6.
00:38:23Maybe you'll find somebody who's willing to talk to you.
00:38:28I'll stop by.
00:38:59Marcia?
00:39:04Marcia?
00:39:28Marcia?
00:39:58I'll stop by.
00:39:59Marcia?
00:40:28I'll stop by.
00:40:59I'll stop by.
00:41:01I'll stop by.
00:41:28I'll stop by.
00:41:29I'll stop by.
00:41:58I'll stop by.
00:42:18How you doing?
00:42:20Where's Luca?
00:42:22I want to talk to him.
00:42:24He's busy.
00:42:25I need to check up on him.
00:42:28I'm worried about my kid.
00:42:32Luca's not going to hurt you.
00:42:35He's not like that.
00:42:39I need to get back to my son.
00:42:43Can you understand?
00:42:46Maybe...
00:42:49I could get a message out to him.
00:42:52You got a number I could reach him by?
00:42:55I could call him and let him know that you're okay
00:42:59and you'll be back home soon.
00:43:04Yeah, okay.
00:43:06I'll give you the number, but make sure you let him know
00:43:09that you're okay.
00:43:13I'll give you the number, but make sure you let him know
00:43:15sooner, right?
00:43:17You got it.
00:43:19917-555-0721.
00:43:43Whoa!
00:43:45Oh, don't stab the messenger, aight?
00:44:14I have a message from Luca. You wanna hear it?
00:44:19Hi, Hector. I have a message from your mommy.
00:44:22From mommy?
00:44:24Are you alone, Hector? You answer the phone all by yourself, like a big boy.
00:44:28Yeah, I am.
00:44:32Bye-bye, Hector. Bye, Mommy. Bye, Pastor.
00:44:44Help.
00:44:47Come on.
00:44:49Help.
00:45:13Maybe you're wrong about me, puppy.
00:45:16A leopard can't change his spots.
00:45:20So you go back to that cop and you tell him everything you know.
00:45:24You're not a bad guy anymore.
00:45:28No matter what I do, Luca won't hesitate to kill them.
00:45:36Unless...
00:45:40Three Sundays ago, I was out with my wife, arguing what to have for dinner,
00:45:51when they started shooting at the car with us inside.
00:45:58Somehow I survived.
00:46:02Call it faith or tragedy, but I survived.
00:46:08My wife took only one of those bullets to take her life away.
00:46:14She died in my arms, looking at me.
00:46:21Her mouth was open like she was trying to say something to me.
00:46:31At that moment, I had to make a choice.
00:46:36But since that day, I feel his hand on my shoulder, his love in my heart.
00:46:52I think God brought us together to fulfill a very powerful mission.
00:47:00So whatever you do, remember you cannot serve the masters.
00:47:08You cannot be both a man of God and a killer of men.
00:47:17I appreciate everything you've done for me.
00:47:21Here, and in prison, you saved my life.
00:47:30But if I'm not here in time, I know you'll give the service.
00:47:52We have him. We're going to bring him to you.
00:48:07Put it up on the right, okay?
00:48:11Let's go.
00:48:41Shit!
00:49:03I found my voice, Master.
00:49:04He's down low, Master.
00:49:06I got God. No stop.
00:49:11Just like that.
00:49:33Keep it coming.
00:49:42Keep it coming.
00:49:51What brings you here, Pastor?
00:49:59A favor.
00:50:01People need favors all the time.
00:50:04They usually don't ask out of consideration, out of respect.
00:50:10You never even came by to say hello until now?
00:50:13Parole's got rules.
00:50:15Until you need something.
00:50:18So you want what? What can I do for you, huh?
00:50:21I need protection.
00:50:26Okay.
00:50:27Not for me. For my church.
00:50:31All I want is for my church to be left alone and for my family to be safe.
00:50:35Is that all?
00:50:37You sure?
00:50:38I did eight years on the inside. Solid.
00:50:42I never gave up anyone.
00:50:44Never took anything they offered me.
00:50:48I paid my debt.
00:50:50Well, that was way before my time, man.
00:50:54But I like a good story.
00:50:57Inside.
00:50:59My division was the most productive.
00:51:03The one that carried the most junk.
00:51:06The most guns.
00:51:10No one ever out of pocketed any of my deals.
00:51:13So what do you want?
00:51:15A parade? A benediction? What?
00:51:17Anything?
00:51:19Anything.
00:51:21Eight years.
00:51:23Inside a six by eight feet cell.
00:51:28My time was up.
00:51:31And they got to me.
00:51:34Inside my own cell.
00:51:41And they stabbed me here.
00:51:47And they stabbed me here.
00:51:51Here?
00:51:54Here.
00:51:58Just missed my heart.
00:52:03I was asked if I wanted retaliation.
00:52:08I said no.
00:52:11I said I wanted a better path.
00:52:15Today I have a new life.
00:52:18New purpose.
00:52:22And my church is my territory.
00:52:25Yo, boss.
00:52:32You got your thing.
00:52:37And it's a good thing.
00:52:41You know, I still take my willy to the church sometimes.
00:52:46And I feel bad for the kid.
00:52:51Get the others.
00:52:53Take them up top.
00:52:58Come on over here, pastor.
00:53:07Come on closer.
00:53:14A lot of different people crawling around down there.
00:53:17All different kinds.
00:53:19Every kind.
00:53:22You want to help them?
00:53:25I want to help all those I can.
00:53:27Why?
00:53:29Why is that, pastor?
00:53:31I mean, there's no money involved in it.
00:53:33That's a damn sure.
00:53:38You've got your faith in a bunch of people you've never even met.
00:53:46You're right.
00:53:47I shouldn't have come here.
00:53:49It was a mistake.
00:54:05Luca has my wife.
00:54:10Why'd she leave you anyway?
00:54:14I told her not to wait.
00:54:20You know, a lot of stories on the inside come out in the open.
00:54:24I heard your wife was with Luca while you were doing your time.
00:54:29Word is, that kid she says is his ain't really his.
00:54:42Look, that hurt.
00:54:45But about that favor.
00:54:47Here's my answer.
00:54:50You ain't one of us no more.
00:54:54You don't get to ask no favors.
00:54:57Get him out of here.
00:55:11Please.
00:55:17What's going on here?
00:55:32Hello?
00:55:46Hector?
00:55:49Hector?
00:55:51Hector!
00:55:53Hector!
00:55:55Hector!
00:56:01Hector!
00:56:27I'm sorry.
00:56:35You keep apologizing.
00:56:38But we're past that.
00:56:41I have forgiven.
00:56:44But not forgotten.
00:56:45Luca, please.
00:56:54You had two options.
00:56:56We're left with only one.
00:56:59And they're bringing him back here.
00:57:04You can just tell me now, Lucia.
00:57:08About Hector.
00:57:14I hate to see you cry.
00:57:22It doesn't matter.
00:57:25The truth will come out.
00:57:28Sooner.
00:57:30Maybe later.
00:57:33So we can all feel some...
00:57:37peace of mind.
00:58:06It looks like he's in the back.
00:58:09Get to my side.
00:58:15We identified the shooter.
00:58:17Neto Sanchez, 17, two priors.
00:58:19Figured you'd want to know.
00:58:21Being that you're violating your parole.
00:58:24What I want to know is why.
00:58:26Does it matter?
00:58:27Go on.
00:58:28Charge me with something.
00:58:29What were you doing with Alfonso's guys?
00:58:30It's personal.
00:58:31It's personal.
00:58:32You don't trust us.
00:58:33Don't believe the cops care?
00:58:34Don't believe you want to stop scraping kids' brains off the street?
00:58:36Is that what you think?
00:58:37I don't know what you want.
00:58:38Look, some of these kids out there saying they're gangsters.
00:58:40Have no remorse.
00:58:41They got no brains.
00:58:42Period.
00:58:43Okay?
00:58:44All they want to do is blame someone else.
00:58:45I got nothing, so I need to sell drugs.
00:58:46Nobody cares about me.
00:58:47Boo-hoo.
00:58:48So I'm going to go shoot someone?
00:58:49That's what these kids think.
00:58:50You know what I see?
00:58:51What do you see?
00:58:52When I see those kids in the video?
00:58:53I see 14, 15, 16, even 18 years of lonely and beaten down.
00:58:58And then suddenly, boom, they snap.
00:59:00And everybody's trying to figure out why.
00:59:02So you're saying boo-hoo to them?
00:59:03Is that what you're saying?
00:59:04No, no.
00:59:05What I'm saying is if you really want to find out who's responsible,
00:59:08you got to start by looking at yourself in the mirror, detective.
00:59:11We're all our brother's keeper.
00:59:14So go.
00:59:16Go.
00:59:17Keep on walking.
00:59:18What are you waiting for?
00:59:19Go.
00:59:20Alabaré, alabaré, alabaré, alabaré, alabaré a mi señor.
00:59:29Alabaré, alabaré, alabaré, alabaré, alabaré a mi señor.
00:59:39Juan vio el número de los delimidos y todos alababan al señor.
00:59:48Unos cantaban, otros oraban y todos alababan al señor.
01:00:19Let me start by saying that God, our creator,
01:00:21has the right to rule over life and death.
01:00:26We're stumped in the image and likeness of God.
01:00:32This is what makes us human.
01:00:36And God demands us to preserve life because life, human life as we know it,
01:00:43is the only form of life that he created in his own image.
01:00:47The Bible says in the book of Genesis 1, 26 and 27, and let me read.
01:00:53Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.
01:00:58As humans, we're the only ones that can talk, walk, and fellowship with God.
01:01:04This is the source of our great value and dignity as human beings.
01:01:09So what's the value of human life?
01:01:11How do we measure it?
01:01:14By how successful someone is?
01:01:17By what type of cars he can drive?
01:01:19How much money he has?
01:01:21How much power?
01:01:24We like to think that we know.
01:01:28We like to think that we know.
01:01:37I would like our new pastor to take you from here.
01:01:43Thank you.
01:01:44Thank you.
01:01:45I am forever grateful to Pastor Camara.
01:02:14To Papi.
01:02:20For everything he's done for this community.
01:02:26And I wish that was enough.
01:02:31But one pastor and one church cannot be the only thing standing between our kids and the
01:02:41violence that's out there every day and every night.
01:02:50It's a prohibition of God.
01:02:53You shall not murder.
01:02:58You shall not murder.
01:03:02And yet we do, again and again, violence, retaliation, vengeance.
01:03:17The Hebrew root word for vengeance is to deliver, to liberate, to restore, to punish or defeat.
01:03:30So, what does it mean?
01:03:39I believe it means it's up to us to take back our streets, our schools, our community.
01:03:46To take back this word vengeance, go back to its roots, its true meaning.
01:03:51You tell us what we need to do.
01:03:53You know, why's it gotta be us to do more?
01:03:55I want all of us to make my son's life worth something.
01:04:01I'm not here to upset you or disrespect you, ma'am, or your family, but if you're going
01:04:09to take care of each other now and in the future, we have to stop accepting that we
01:04:14are powerless because that's exactly what's expected of us.
01:04:20I've been banging all my life.
01:04:28Never wanted no child of mine to ever run in no game, never.
01:04:36What you're saying here tonight, Pastor, it's true.
01:04:42It's taken me my whole life to learn it.
01:04:48I don't want these boys to have the same road.
01:04:52You do what you can.
01:04:55We got your back.
01:04:58We got your back.
01:04:59That's right, that's right, man.
01:05:04This brother's courage and heart is what we're fighting for here tonight, tomorrow and every
01:05:11day after.
01:05:15On Sunday, I started telling the story of the battle of David and Goliath.
01:05:26The moral of this story is not that the weak beat the strong, but that expectations were
01:05:35beaten.
01:05:37The expectations of everyone.
01:05:42Everyone who thought that David would fail and that Goliath would win.
01:05:49If I see you all here tonight under the eyes of society, I may be fooled into expecting
01:05:58you to fail, to fall down, to be beaten down by life, to end up just another statistic,
01:06:07dead or in jail.
01:06:12But if we come together here tonight in this house of God, in this community, to beat those
01:06:19expectations, then something amazing will have happened and our biggest enemy will be
01:06:27defeated.
01:06:29I couldn't be more proud of you tonight.
01:06:43What I'm about to say hurts me so much.
01:06:48You got to go.
01:06:52You have to leave here.
01:06:56This church.
01:06:59This neighborhood.
01:07:04You can't stay.
01:07:09As long as you do, there'll be trouble.
01:07:13Nobody's safe.
01:07:43Who's out there?
01:07:54Stay with the kid, like I told you.
01:08:00No, no, no, no, no.
01:08:03Mommy!
01:08:04Mommy!
01:08:05Mommy!
01:08:09See how we ended up, Pastor?
01:08:11Leaving a mess.
01:08:13You know what they call this position?
01:08:39Huh?
01:08:42In Guantanamo, they call it enhanced interrogation.
01:08:50The rules in our neighborhood have already been written.
01:08:55There's nowhere to run to.
01:09:00Nowhere to hide.
01:09:04Huh?
01:09:09When you're in the position of leadership, people watch for your mistakes.
01:09:16They watch you every move, watch to see you fall down.
01:09:30That's not going to happen, Pastor.
01:09:35I thought they killed soft guys like you in prison.
01:09:38Hmm?
01:09:40Why don't you just give up, huh?
01:09:44What?
01:09:45You don't even know?
01:09:48Bring her over here.
01:09:51Where they can see each other better.
01:09:56Come on, drink.
01:09:57Drink.
01:10:01What a reunion!
01:10:06Tell us the truth, Marcia.
01:10:08Which one of us is your boy's father?
01:10:11Hmm?
01:10:15Take her away!
01:10:18No.
01:10:19No!
01:10:25Well then, things just got more interesting.
01:10:31Afuera.
01:10:38Go on, give it to him.
01:10:41Give it to him.
01:10:42Go ahead.
01:10:44Help him drink.
01:10:45Maybe he just wants to say something.
01:10:53Thank you.
01:11:08How you doing, buddy?
01:11:12Wow, I didn't know you had this kind of stuff.
01:11:14Oh, relax.
01:11:15Relax.
01:11:17I'm not going to hurt you.
01:11:22How old are you now?
01:11:25Eight.
01:11:28And three quarters.
01:11:30Wow, eight and three quarters.
01:11:31You're getting big.
01:11:35You love your mommy, don't you, huh?
01:11:40Good, she loves you too.
01:11:43And I'd like to see the two of you to be able to go back home.
01:11:46Would you like that?
01:11:49Yeah, excellent.
01:11:51You just have to answer truthfully.
01:11:53Whatever I ask you.
01:11:55Deal?
01:11:59Hector, do we have a deal?
01:12:02I don't want to have to hurt your mommy.
01:12:06Are you ready to tell me the truth?
01:12:08Huh?
01:12:10Good, good.
01:12:11Now look at me.
01:12:13Look into my eyes.
01:12:17Have you ever met your daddy before?
01:12:23Have you ever met me before today?
01:12:28Look carefully now.
01:12:33Do you remember ever seeing me with your mommy before today?
01:12:40Just say the truth.
01:12:50No.
01:12:52Okay.
01:12:54Did your mommy ever mention Luca or Uncle Luca or Mr. Ramirez?
01:13:08No.
01:13:11No.
01:13:14No.
01:13:18Okay.
01:13:20Okay.
01:13:48Go home.
01:13:50You're no use to me here.
01:13:53But you said I could stay.
01:13:55Are you deaf?
01:13:58I said to go home.
01:14:00You should be mourning your brother.
01:14:03Show some respect.
01:14:16Get me one.
01:14:17Let's go.
01:14:32I told you.
01:14:33Nobody ever gets out.
01:14:36It's because of you that my brother is dead.
01:14:38And now you're going to die too.
01:14:40Didn't I tell you to go home?
01:14:41Don't you listen?
01:14:43Huh?
01:14:44I want to watch him die.
01:14:48You're one messed up chickadee.
01:14:51Fine.
01:14:52But keep out of the way.
01:14:54Understand?
01:15:04Take her to see her boy.
01:15:06No, no, no.
01:15:07You don't have to do this.
01:15:08You don't have to do this.
01:15:09Luca, please.
01:15:10You don't have to do this.
01:15:11Please.
01:15:13If you kill them, you're only going to make him stronger.
01:15:17See, he believes in sacrifice, like Jesus in the Bible.
01:15:23Well, it's not like I can let them go.
01:15:27Well, first her, then him.
01:15:35What do you think, huh?
01:15:37Let the wife and kid go.
01:15:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:15:42Are you crazy?
01:15:44He loves her.
01:15:46Look at him.
01:15:48She lied to him.
01:15:50But he still loves her.
01:15:53Look how he's shaking in his boots.
01:15:59I found this.
01:16:02Long before I cried with my boys, God heard the anguish in my heart.
01:16:10You wrote that, Pastor?
01:16:14You see?
01:16:16This Pastor thing ain't no joke.
01:16:18This thing is full of notes.
01:16:20He actually thinks he's been saved.
01:16:23Make him fight you one-on-one.
01:16:27And then we'll see.
01:16:37What's up, fellas?
01:16:45Let's make him a little more comfortable, huh?
01:16:50That's it.
01:17:21That's it.
01:17:25Show me something.
01:17:27Come on.
01:17:45Yeah, come on.
01:17:51Come on.
01:17:52Come on.
01:17:53Say your prayers.
01:17:59Are you turning the other cheek, Pastor?
01:18:01Huh?
01:18:03Fight like a man, not a priest.
01:18:12I'm not a priest.
01:18:13Yeah.
01:18:15Back up a little.
01:18:17Yeah.
01:18:18Get him.
01:18:19Come on.
01:18:20Come on.
01:18:21Come on.
01:18:22Come on.
01:18:23Come on.
01:18:24Come on.
01:18:25Come on.
01:18:26Come on.
01:18:27Come on.
01:18:28Come on.
01:18:29Come on.
01:18:30Come on.
01:18:31Come on.
01:18:32Come on.
01:18:33Come on.
01:18:34Come on.
01:18:35Come on.
01:18:36Come on.
01:18:37Come on.
01:18:38Come on.
01:18:39Come on.
01:18:40Come on.
01:18:41Yeah.
01:18:42Come on.
01:18:43Yeah, come on.
01:18:44Get him.
01:18:45Get him.
01:18:46Daddy!
01:18:47Hector!
01:18:48Hector!
01:18:49Yeah!
01:18:50Back off, he's mine.
01:18:51Daddy!
01:18:52Hector!
01:18:53Hector!
01:18:54Hector!
01:18:55Yeah!
01:19:07Back off, he's mine!
01:19:10So here you are, pastor.
01:19:12A man of God?
01:19:14You don't have the guts to kill me.
01:19:17Ha ha ha ha!
01:19:20You have nothing!
01:19:22You're nothing!
01:19:26You're nothing!
01:19:27Aaaaaaah!
01:19:47Put your hands on your head!
01:19:49Hands on your head, little!
01:19:58Interlock your fingers.
01:20:00Interlock your fingers.
01:20:03Hands behind your head!
01:20:06Go away!
