Inheritance explores the underlying causes of the opioid epidemic in America through the life of one boy and five generations of his extended family over 11 years. Curtis, a bright and hopeful 12 year-old, grows up surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins – battle addiction. Curtis’s America is a country where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder, joblessness, poverty, and a deteriorating sense of belonging.
"The documentary is unflinching in depicting the lives that so many Americans face but are so rarely seen." —Scott Tong, NPR Here & Now
"Unstinting and deeply moving, Inheritance straddles hope and grief to tell the story of one family drowning in a river of drugs and the guts it takes to get out. This is a searing testament to grit and grief." —Nancy Campbell, Professor of Science and Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Author, OD: Naloxone and the Politics of Overdose
"This is possibly the best portrait of addiction and the toll it takes on addicts and their families that I've ever seen...I can't stress how good this film is." —Steve Kopian, Unseen Films
"Inheritance is a gut-wrenching portrayal of the brutal reality of life for many in Appalachia, a people and place that is often overlooked and stigmatized. Having served as an addiction physician on the front lines of this epidemic for the past two decades, the families portrayed represent a cross-section of our communities that some will find easy to judge. My hope is that viewers will see the shared humanity in these families, see common desires and struggles, and possibly consider how the lives of these folk prophetically mirror a larger sickness in our country." —James Berry, Professor of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, Director of Addictions, West Virginia University
"Inheritance deftly navigates the complexity of poverty and addiction: families as a source of both hope and trauma; communities devastated from economic disinvestment and environmental injustices yet strive for resilience; and people seeking fuller lives but held back by structural disadvantages. This film presents one family with the multidimensional humanity they deserve. This is a must-watch to understand the roots of the overdose crisis and to see why our continual reliance on the criminal legal and child welfare systems will not reverse the harms it has incurred." —Kristina Brant, Assistant Professor of Rural Sociology, Pennsylvania State University
"Inheritance powerfully humanizes households who are desperate to break the generational cycle of addiction under some of the most difficult circumstances. This film illustrates how love and hope persist across generations, even as families struggle against the weight of intergenerational trauma and the social determinants of health that limit access to recovery and stability. It is a moving reminder that each generation longs to give more to the next, but without adequate resources and systemic support, the cycle becomes painfully hard to escape." —Shawnda Schroeder, Assistant Professor of Indigenous Health, University of North Dakota
"A probing look inside the opioid addiction crisis in America...Remarkable film." —Valerie Milano, The Hollywood Times
"The film transcends the traditional boundaries of documentary filmmaking. It's a story that informs but also emotionally engages and challenges its viewers, illuminating the complexities of addiction and its underlying issues in a manner that's both enlightening and profoundly human." —Chris Jones, Overly Honest Movie Reviews
"A heartbreaking portrait of cyclical poverty and addiction...Curtis is a joyous and pure soul. He grins and bares the trauma that swirls around him. You want to reach through the screen and rescue him." —Liz Whittemore, Reel News Daily
"We see moments of playfulness, smiles, and even hope...A moving film that reminds us of parts of the world that often times go unnoticed." —Caroline Ryan, Culture Elixir
"Heartwrenching...Vivid imagery...People watching the film have no choice but to try and root for our subject." —Richard Schertzer, BattleRoyaleWithCheese
"Inheritance provides an authentic depiction of multigenerational opioid use disorder. For anyone interested in how the confluence of poverty and trauma can fuel substance use disorders, this film offers a compelling and empathetic window into a family challenged by these social problems. This is a particularly effective film for college and graduate level courses because it portrays these dynamics without inserting extensive explanation, so students can apply concepts related to substance use disorders and social determinants of health on their own." —Erin Fanning Madden, Assistant Professor, Family Medicine & Public Health Sciences, Wayne State University
"This is an emotional, painful, and very well-done documentary. Inheritance effectively conveys the juxtaposition of hope and hopelessness between the wish to avoid the devastating disease of addiction and the seemingly predetermined march to the use of addictive substances and all the sadness, turmoil, and loss that follows. I thank this family for their courage to share their story so that others may understand the impact of the chronic, relapsing brain disease of addiction on the family and the need for effective treatment and ongoing care." —Patricia Sue Grigson, Professor & Chair, College of Medicine, Director, Addiction Center for Translation, Pennsylvania State University
"Haunting the cinematic darkness and poignant moments of love and beauty in this film, as depicted through the day-to-day, year-to-year struggles of these families, is the brutal specter of what happens when social safety nets, jobs, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive are not available. Inheritance is no morality play - there's no agenda to this poignant, beautiful, bittersweet film - but there's a message for anyone who doesn't understand the interconnectedness of economic and environmental injustice, generational poverty, and drug addiction: our children are born with hope and resilience; it is the adults and leaders who must acknowledge that many in our country need help, and that begins with empathy and understanding." —Amy Sullivan, Assistant Professor of History, Macalester College, Author, Opioid Reckoning: Love, Loss and Redemption in the Rehab State

00:00:40.373 --> 00:00:43.501
The Ohio River they say
is contaminated.
00:00:46.212 --> 00:00:47.964
I don’t think it’s very healthy.
00:00:49.215 --> 00:00:50.633
I really don’t.
00:00:55.388 --> 00:00:57.557
You used to see barges
all the time on the river.
00:00:58.933 --> 00:01:00.018
You don’t see as many.
00:01:01.019 --> 00:01:02.353
Not near as many.
00:01:09.986 --> 00:01:12.197
I like it down here.
I love it down here.
00:01:13.531 --> 00:01:14.574
I still love it.
00:01:17.494 --> 00:01:18.620
But,
00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:21.122
since I’ve been in Pomeroy,
00:01:21.122 --> 00:01:23.291
this place has really went down.
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.509
People just losing their jobs and
00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:34.177
had no way of making
no money down here.
00:01:39.224 --> 00:01:40.350
There’s nothing down here.
00:01:40.517 --> 00:01:41.684
Nothing down here for kids.
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:43.978
They had a skating rink
00:01:44.229 --> 00:01:46.564
where my kids used to go.
They closed it down.
00:01:50.693 --> 00:01:53.696
Our family all live
close by each other
00:01:55.782 --> 00:01:57.742
and we do work together
to raise the kids.
00:02:04.082 --> 00:02:05.333
Yeah, we do.
00:02:08.795 --> 00:02:10.672
I just hope my grandkids
00:02:11.047 --> 00:02:12.882
have a better future than what I had.
00:02:26.646 --> 00:02:27.272
Okay.
00:02:27.272 --> 00:02:29.190
This is an obsidian rock.
00:02:30.608 --> 00:02:32.986
And the, this,
00:02:32.986 --> 00:02:34.988
this is a pumice rock.
00:02:36.197 --> 00:02:39.075
Abasa, is like,
it's also a volcanic rock.
00:02:39.492 --> 00:02:42.662
It's more like a
scratchy type of rock.
00:02:43.163 --> 00:02:44.873
This one is like a glass,
00:02:44.873 --> 00:02:46.916
obsidian is like a glass type.
00:02:47.625 --> 00:02:49.043
I would be obsidian
00:02:49.043 --> 00:02:50.503
because it's really hard
00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:53.256
and it's not easy to change.
00:02:53.923 --> 00:02:56.426
I would also be obsidian
because it's like,
00:02:56.426 --> 00:02:58.428
it's reflective, it's like shiny
00:02:59.679 --> 00:03:02.557
and it's not really that
easy for you to like,
00:03:02.974 --> 00:03:04.350
just break.
00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:10.023
- See that deer right there.
00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:10.899
- See that deer right there.
- Hi, deer!
00:03:10.899 --> 00:03:12.150
There's three of 'em down the road.
00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:14.152
Hi Miss Deer. What doin’?
00:03:20.283 --> 00:03:21.534
Grandma!
00:03:21.534 --> 00:03:23.161
He can go like a cork,
00:03:23.161 --> 00:03:24.871
pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:03:24.871 --> 00:03:27.582
He can go like a horse feet,
00:03:27.582 --> 00:03:30.084
clop, clop, clop, clop.
00:03:30.543 --> 00:03:32.170
Wanna see somethin’ cool?
00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:34.297
Are we ready?
00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:38.635
Why you got your pajamas on?
00:03:40.178 --> 00:03:42.263
My mom told me I had to
get dressed, I was like,
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:43.890
I'm not changin’.
00:03:44.849 --> 00:03:47.310
My husband, John, and I had three kids
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:53.233
and then Euva, my oldest daughter,
00:03:53.233 --> 00:03:55.985
she had Destiny Dawn,
when she was a lot younger.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.782
Then she had Curtis.
00:04:01.783 --> 00:04:03.117
Then she had Dominic.
00:04:08.581 --> 00:04:10.375
And then Shyla.
00:04:13.878 --> 00:04:15.046
Gigi-gang!
00:04:15.046 --> 00:04:16.130
Gigi-gang! Gigi-gang!
00:04:16.756 --> 00:04:18.883
Curtis is my buddy.
He’s my little buddy.
00:04:23.179 --> 00:04:24.597
I love ‘em all the same, but
00:04:24.597 --> 00:04:26.015
they’re just different.
00:04:26.015 --> 00:04:27.600
Curtis is smart.
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.768
I know he is.
00:04:29.227 --> 00:04:30.812
He’s a good boy, he just,
00:04:30.812 --> 00:04:32.021
he’s had a rough life.
00:04:33.106 --> 00:04:34.941
He’s been in and out of foster care
00:04:35.525 --> 00:04:37.944
and that tears me up. I hate it.
00:04:49.289 --> 00:04:52.834
[background chatter]
00:04:55.962 --> 00:04:58.589
Mommy.
00:05:04.053 --> 00:05:05.930
I can touch it on my
tippy toes probably.
00:05:06.431 --> 00:05:07.974
Let go of it. Let go.
00:05:10.184 --> 00:05:11.311
On my tippy toes,
00:05:11.311 --> 00:05:12.228
I just touched that.
00:05:14.522 --> 00:05:16.941
I saw my dad and my mom use heroin
00:05:16.941 --> 00:05:18.276
whenever I was growing up.
00:05:18.276 --> 00:05:19.444
My dad actually,
00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:22.238
he may not have been shooting up, but
00:05:22.238 --> 00:05:24.198
he had the needle in his hand.
00:05:24.198 --> 00:05:26.034
But I didn't see nothin’ on his arms.
00:05:26.409 --> 00:05:28.244
And whenever I used to see that
00:05:28.244 --> 00:05:30.330
I'd always run and hide under my bed.
00:05:31.873 --> 00:05:34.876
Just you could see stuff
layin’ around all the time.
00:05:34.876 --> 00:05:36.419
Especially upstairs,
00:05:36.961 --> 00:05:39.547
be a bottle of pills,
just sittin’ there,
00:05:39.547 --> 00:05:41.299
ands I used to see it a lot.
00:05:42.342 --> 00:05:43.092
Yeah.
00:05:43.092 --> 00:05:45.803
Mommy is a recovering drug addict.
00:05:46.721 --> 00:05:48.848
There's a lot of things that
happened in my childhood
00:05:48.848 --> 00:05:50.099
and stuff just that,
00:05:50.099 --> 00:05:51.309
you know, just
00:05:51.726 --> 00:05:53.644
brought up where I
wanted to feel numb.
00:05:55.188 --> 00:05:57.607
Mom, could you help me?
00:05:58.024 --> 00:06:00.693
She put two bunnies in it. Did you?
00:06:05.865 --> 00:06:08.659
Yeah, they don’t know what
this stuff smells like.
00:06:12.163 --> 00:06:14.791
There's always been
drugs in this family.
00:06:15.792 --> 00:06:18.211
All of our parents did it with us.
00:06:19.003 --> 00:06:21.422
You know, wherever we went
we could've got it.
00:06:21.422 --> 00:06:22.632
Don't matter.
00:06:22.632 --> 00:06:24.926
And then you're thinkin’
as a parent, like, okay,
00:06:24.926 --> 00:06:27.053
now he's on it.
Now I can get more of it
00:06:27.053 --> 00:06:28.763
'cause my son's doing it,
my daughter's doing it
00:06:29.347 --> 00:06:32.308
and you're not really worried about it.
You want them to get it.
00:06:32.308 --> 00:06:34.143
They grow up in that life they're
gonna be a drug addict.
00:06:34.143 --> 00:06:35.144
They're gonna be a
drug dealer or something.
00:06:35.144 --> 00:06:36.270
Something's gonna happen.
00:06:36.270 --> 00:06:38.231
Very few make it out a drug house
00:06:38.231 --> 00:06:39.690
and I know a very few of them people
00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:41.818
that make it out of a drug house
that don't do nothing.
00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:20.356
When I moved down here I never
heard of pain pills or nothin’.
00:07:21.732 --> 00:07:24.152
I never heard of heroin.
I never heard of meth.
00:07:28.197 --> 00:07:29.866
I never heard of cocaine until
00:07:29.866 --> 00:07:32.201
my son and husband
decided to sell it up here.
00:07:34.245 --> 00:07:35.872
We was all on it bad.
00:07:37.081 --> 00:07:39.834
Well, my daughter and them was
going out back and in the shed
00:07:40.209 --> 00:07:42.628
they was cookin’ it and
makin’ crack out of it.
00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:44.297
Then he got into smoking it
00:07:44.297 --> 00:07:45.631
so I did too.
00:07:45.631 --> 00:07:46.632
You know?
00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:49.427
When I was young I never,
00:07:49.427 --> 00:07:50.803
this LSD and all this,
00:07:50.803 --> 00:07:51.846
I didn’t really like that.
00:07:52.472 --> 00:07:53.473
You liked Valiums.
00:07:53.890 --> 00:07:55.850
Yeah. I used to love my
nerve pills. I loved them.
00:07:57.351 --> 00:07:58.895
Today I’ve got my pain pills but,
00:07:59.187 --> 00:08:00.771
we don’t do anything big.
00:08:00.771 --> 00:08:01.522
I do.
00:08:02.064 --> 00:08:03.399
We don’t do cocaine, or
00:08:03.816 --> 00:08:04.942
No, I don’t do cocaine.
00:08:05.193 --> 00:08:06.527
I take medication,
00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:08.905
but it’s prescribed, doctor,
00:08:08.905 --> 00:08:11.240
gotta do it, take it as it says, but
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.700
I still get wasted.
00:08:13.701 --> 00:08:15.077
Wasted now. I ain’t gonna lie to you.
00:08:15.077 --> 00:08:16.287
Wasted now. I ain’t gonna lie to you.
I’m high now.
00:08:16.829 --> 00:08:19.457
This is why he does
his pain medicine now.
00:08:20.082 --> 00:08:22.084
This is what drugs’ll do for you.
00:08:22.585 --> 00:08:24.879
My point now, what
drugs will do for you.
00:08:25.505 --> 00:08:27.548
All this is from open heart surgery.
00:08:27.548 --> 00:08:31.010
But, I say the drugs
led into all this though.
00:08:31.344 --> 00:08:33.137
Especially the coke
00:08:34.138 --> 00:08:36.140
because of the junk they cut it with.
00:08:39.894 --> 00:08:40.770
I’m sick.
00:08:42.146 --> 00:08:43.022
Dyin’.
00:08:43.022 --> 00:08:44.690
And I know I’m dyin’.
00:08:45.608 --> 00:08:46.484
But,
00:08:46.692 --> 00:08:48.277
I’d taste it again.
00:08:54.617 --> 00:08:55.618
C’mon.
00:08:56.786 --> 00:08:57.662
Go!
00:09:06.796 --> 00:09:08.631
[background chatter]
00:09:10.758 --> 00:09:12.969
Get in here little boys.
00:09:18.891 --> 00:09:21.227
So, Grandma, if
00:09:21.894 --> 00:09:23.563
you, if you like,
00:09:24.564 --> 00:09:26.399
if I get a good job
00:09:26.816 --> 00:09:29.151
and I get a lot of money
and a good house,
00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.696
would you live with me
when I get older?
00:09:31.696 --> 00:09:32.905
I sure as heck would, buddy.
00:09:32.905 --> 00:09:34.907
When you gonna get older?
Real soon, right?
00:09:36.492 --> 00:09:38.327
I'm gonna be a lawyer when I grow up.
00:09:40.162 --> 00:09:42.123
Law-yer, whatever
you want to call ’em.
00:09:43.416 --> 00:09:45.751
That’s what I’m planning on doing.
00:09:45.751 --> 00:09:47.962
And then after I
graduate from college,
00:09:47.962 --> 00:09:50.881
if that doesn't go perfectly,
I'm gonna become a YouTuber.
00:09:53.467 --> 00:09:54.552
- YouTuber?
00:09:54.552 --> 00:09:55.803
- YouTuber?
- Yeah.
00:09:57.138 --> 00:09:59.098
I'm gonna be a YouTuber
no matter what, just,
00:10:00.224 --> 00:10:02.476
it's gonna be a backup job as well.
00:10:02.476 --> 00:10:04.812
Because you get paid a lot
of money as a YouTuber.
00:10:10.651 --> 00:10:12.903
- Curtis, is this where
clouds come from?
00:10:12.903 --> 00:10:13.904
- Is this where clouds come from?
- No.
00:10:15.364 --> 00:10:17.783
This is where bad clouds come from.
00:10:29.545 --> 00:10:32.048
Curtis reminds me a lot of
J.P. when he was younger.
00:10:37.553 --> 00:10:38.471
J.P. coulda went places.
00:10:38.471 --> 00:10:40.306
He graduated. He was a smart boy.
00:10:43.476 --> 00:10:45.645
J.P.’s mom, my sister Sandra,
00:10:45.895 --> 00:10:47.313
ended up overdosing.
00:10:50.691 --> 00:10:53.694
She didn’t raise the kids.
My mom and my stepdad did.
00:10:56.947 --> 00:10:58.407
Feel like I’m
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.119
worthless if I can't
overcome this addiction…
00:11:02.578 --> 00:11:04.121
then I'm just gonna give up.
00:11:04.121 --> 00:11:05.706
You know what I mean?
00:11:06.749 --> 00:11:08.250
So I’m not goin’ be...
00:11:08.501 --> 00:11:10.753
I'll be worthless. You know,
I'll never have nothing.
00:11:10.753 --> 00:11:12.254
I’ll never,
00:11:12.672 --> 00:11:13.714
never
00:11:14.090 --> 00:11:15.591
accomplish anything. And we’ll
00:11:15.591 --> 00:11:17.218
we’ll always be on
00:11:17.551 --> 00:11:19.679
the losing end of the battle.
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.680
What, baby?
00:11:22.890 --> 00:11:26.102
It's somethin’ we're gonna have to
dig down a little bit deeper and get.
00:11:30.523 --> 00:11:32.483
Gettin a good workout.
These rocks are heavy.
00:11:32.775 --> 00:11:34.902
Neighbor said when he
did ‘em he had a hernia.
00:11:37.738 --> 00:11:39.365
I'm dirty as heck.
00:11:41.951 --> 00:11:44.954
This will be a start for us,
we can build on if we wanted to.
00:11:44.954 --> 00:11:46.997
We can fix it up as we go.
00:11:48.457 --> 00:11:50.292
You gotta get this off first.
00:11:50.292 --> 00:11:51.544
Right. That's what I’m lookin’ at.
00:11:56.632 --> 00:11:59.552
Be independent, you know,
rely on each other.
00:12:00.716 --> 00:12:01.721
Like,
00:12:01.721 --> 00:12:05.266
we had all kinds of friends and
everything, but as soon as we quit
00:12:05.266 --> 00:12:06.475
they all disappeared.
00:12:07.518 --> 00:12:09.687
I told J.P., we don't
need that around us.
00:12:10.855 --> 00:12:13.357
They should be happy we're
tryin’ to get our life back.
00:12:14.608 --> 00:12:17.236
He's stubborn just like his
grandpa and grandpa are.
00:12:17.528 --> 00:12:18.738
He's stubborn.
00:12:19.864 --> 00:12:21.782
If I can't make it,
I’m wanna have it in the contract
00:12:21.782 --> 00:12:23.159
that I can come back home.
00:12:23.367 --> 00:12:26.036
I don't like to jump all the way in.
I just wanna get my feet wet.
00:12:27.329 --> 00:12:28.330
You know what I mean?
00:12:30.291 --> 00:12:32.293
Um, I know what you mean.
00:12:32.877 --> 00:12:34.879
I don't know what I'm doin’. Do I?
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.380
I know what you mean.
00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:37.715
I don't necessarily wanna come home.
00:12:37.715 --> 00:12:39.675
I just always want to
have that ability.
00:12:39.967 --> 00:12:42.511
But if I paid the electric and
everything down here
00:12:42.511 --> 00:12:43.804
you’ll stay, huh?
00:12:44.013 --> 00:12:45.222
No, I didn't say all that.
00:12:46.265 --> 00:12:47.274
Well,
00:12:47.475 --> 00:12:49.894
I can read between the lines.
00:12:50.644 --> 00:12:53.481
I mean that's a possibility. I may
need some help gettin’ on my feet.
00:12:54.607 --> 00:12:57.943
But I should have a job soon
even if it is flipping cheeseburgers.
00:12:58.944 --> 00:12:59.952
You know?
00:13:01.822 --> 00:13:04.116
I didn't put your face
on my side for nothin’.
00:13:05.493 --> 00:13:07.661
That's an ugly mug
to put on your side.
00:13:09.622 --> 00:13:11.874
You and grandma are part of my life.
00:13:13.209 --> 00:13:15.044
Part of my skin, too.
00:13:28.682 --> 00:13:31.560
(Announcer) Ok, let’s go fast,
2019 flopping competition
00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:34.563
(Announcer)
right here at the Meigs County Fair.
00:13:35.564 --> 00:13:38.234
(Announcer)
Whoa! These guys are incredible!
00:13:38.651 --> 00:13:40.694
I want to thank these
folks for comin’ again.
00:13:41.487 --> 00:13:43.614
They will not tell me
where the Bat Cave is.
00:13:45.074 --> 00:13:47.326
I know it's not in Meigs County. So.
00:13:47.326 --> 00:13:49.495
All right, here's the deal.
Listen close.
00:13:49.495 --> 00:13:52.832
There has been a war declared
against this generation of kids.
00:13:53.457 --> 00:13:55.125
This is a special generation of kids
00:13:55.125 --> 00:13:56.418
and that's why the attacks
00:13:56.752 --> 00:13:59.129
are so heavy on this
generation of kids.
00:13:59.755 --> 00:14:01.257
Grownups are droppin’ the ball
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.050
and we need to do better.
00:14:03.425 --> 00:14:05.219
What I'm here to give
you hope of grownups
00:14:05.719 --> 00:14:08.889
is that it is never too late
to redefine your life.
00:14:09.431 --> 00:14:10.439
Never.
00:14:11.183 --> 00:14:14.144
And this guy in this Batman suit,
I know what it means.
00:14:14.895 --> 00:14:18.065
Kids, you never know what
somebody's going through.
00:14:18.732 --> 00:14:20.568
I grew up in a broken home.
00:14:21.235 --> 00:14:23.070
I grew up with a daddy
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.281
that didn't know how
o treat me too good.
00:14:25.614 --> 00:14:28.492
And the reason he didn't know how
to treat me too good was because
00:14:28.492 --> 00:14:30.578
his family didn't treat him too good.
00:14:31.579 --> 00:14:33.080
I've also been clean
00:14:33.330 --> 00:14:36.458
for 28 years this year.
00:14:38.252 --> 00:14:40.045
So I know what it takes.
00:14:40.045 --> 00:14:42.256
I know what it takes to
overcome this stuff.
00:14:42.256 --> 00:14:43.549
And I know what it takes to whip it.
00:14:43.549 --> 00:14:44.925
Everybody say overcomer.
00:14:45.968 --> 00:14:46.972
Overcomer.
00:15:21.045 --> 00:15:23.172
All right, I got what I
was trying to get.
00:15:28.594 --> 00:15:29.970
I like letting off, like,
00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:32.723
you know how humans
let off a lot of body heat?
00:15:33.223 --> 00:15:35.976
How these bees, you can
tell whenever they're dying
00:15:35.976 --> 00:15:37.603
'cause of they're getting frozen,
00:15:38.771 --> 00:15:42.232
'cause they start to try to move their
wings to keep themself warm.
00:15:42.232 --> 00:15:44.276
So I'm gonna keep him warm.
00:15:44.944 --> 00:15:47.112
Right now he's cleaning his antenna.
00:15:48.739 --> 00:15:50.115
I tried to save one because,
00:15:50.115 --> 00:15:51.909
I brought him inside, but he died.
00:15:53.202 --> 00:15:54.202
They freeze.
00:15:55.496 --> 00:15:56.830
It's cold.
00:16:05.297 --> 00:16:07.007
No, you just gotta drive.
00:16:08.467 --> 00:16:11.512
Put all my dirt all
over your new Corvette.
00:16:27.611 --> 00:16:29.113
Dad!
00:16:46.213 --> 00:16:48.465
You know, I don't know why they have
00:16:48.465 --> 00:16:49.633
all them drugs, 'cause
00:16:49.633 --> 00:16:51.885
I can take a couple aspirin, you know,
00:16:53.971 --> 00:16:55.389
and they help me.
00:16:58.308 --> 00:17:00.227
There's drugs everywhere here.
00:17:00.477 --> 00:17:01.500
Everywhere.
00:17:01.603 --> 00:17:03.272
Right down the uh,
00:17:03.272 --> 00:17:04.606
Promise Trailer Court,
00:17:05.941 --> 00:17:08.277
up on Minersville Hill,
00:17:08.277 --> 00:17:09.695
Watchtown Hill.
00:17:11.655 --> 00:17:13.866
Meth labs everywhere.
00:17:15.868 --> 00:17:17.995
I've been in, I don't know
how many of 'em, I told 'em,
00:17:17.995 --> 00:17:19.079
I don't care what they do,
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.540
but when it comes to my
grandkids and kids, I care.
00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:25.252
Because I, I'm not scared of ’em.
00:17:28.422 --> 00:17:29.506
I lost three,
00:17:30.257 --> 00:17:32.092
three of my children,
00:17:33.343 --> 00:17:35.304
a grandchild,
00:17:35.304 --> 00:17:38.015
and then an older grandchild.
00:17:38.932 --> 00:17:40.017
But he was,
00:17:41.727 --> 00:17:43.562
he died here.
00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:48.609
He was layin’ on the floor in there.
00:17:49.818 --> 00:17:50.911
And, um,
00:17:51.445 --> 00:17:53.030
I kept shaking him, hollerin’ at him.
00:17:53.030 --> 00:17:54.031
He wouldn't get up
00:17:54.948 --> 00:17:55.866
and, uh,
00:17:55.866 --> 00:17:57.534
put a cold wash rag
00:17:58.118 --> 00:17:59.536
and stuff on him
00:17:59.536 --> 00:18:00.996
and he didn't move.
00:18:03.290 --> 00:18:04.333
But,
00:18:04.333 --> 00:18:07.044
I never sit in there. Never.
00:18:26.897 --> 00:18:29.900
(inaudible preacher)
00:18:32.361 --> 00:18:35.364
(Preacher) That they do good,
that they be rich in good works,
00:18:35.364 --> 00:18:38.242
(Preacher) ready to distribute,
willing to communicate.
00:18:38.242 --> 00:18:40.494
(Preacher)
There's a word there that I,
00:18:40.494 --> 00:18:43.205
(Preacher) I wanted to call our
attention to, and that's the word, ready.
00:18:43.497 --> 00:18:45.791
(Preacher)
Being ready, ready to do.
00:18:47.876 --> 00:18:50.295
If the Lord was to speak
to your heart today
00:18:51.255 --> 00:18:53.465
and tell you that he wanted
you to do something
00:18:53.757 --> 00:18:55.843
and it was not what you're doing now,
00:18:56.718 --> 00:18:58.345
how ready do you think you are
00:18:58.345 --> 00:18:59.847
to step away from
what you're doin’ now
00:18:59.847 --> 00:19:01.723
to do what the Lord
has called you to do?
00:19:02.766 --> 00:19:04.059
Scale of one to ten.
00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:06.228
I'd say honestly, I'm about an eight.
00:19:06.228 --> 00:19:08.397
- You’re ready?
- Probably, 'cause I'm lookin’ for some, I'm lookin’,
00:19:08.397 --> 00:19:10.065
I'm trying to find what
he wants me to do.
00:19:10.065 --> 00:19:12.484
I'm at that point in my life,
I'm transitioning, you know,
00:19:12.484 --> 00:19:14.778
and I'm trying to figure out
exactly where he wants me.
00:19:15.404 --> 00:19:17.322
But when you told me that,
you know, I need to be prepared
00:19:17.322 --> 00:19:18.740
for Satan, for the devil.
00:19:18.907 --> 00:19:20.909
'Cause I gotta have them
verses prepared in my heart
00:19:20.909 --> 00:19:21.952
to fight back.
00:19:21.952 --> 00:19:23.203
- Amen.
- And plus wisdom,
00:19:23.203 --> 00:19:24.913
'cause he talks to us
through the verses.
00:19:25.372 --> 00:19:27.374
I didn't know that.
So that was powerful for me.
00:19:28.125 --> 00:19:30.419
We come to ask you to
give us strength and courage
00:19:30.419 --> 00:19:31.920
to stay sober, Lord.
00:19:32.462 --> 00:19:34.882
When that preacher told me
I was forgiven, I just,
00:19:35.174 --> 00:19:36.508
I just started cryin’, you know?
00:19:36.508 --> 00:19:38.594
'Cause I did so much to so many
00:19:39.678 --> 00:19:42.097
people, you know, in my life.
00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:43.098
- Thank you.
00:19:43.098 --> 00:19:44.099
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
00:19:46.143 --> 00:19:47.811
You wanna ready the Daily Bread?
00:19:49.563 --> 00:19:50.772
I'm burnin’ up.
00:19:51.648 --> 00:19:53.317
Now I know
00:19:53.317 --> 00:19:54.860
that I got a greater cause
00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:56.445
And
00:19:56.445 --> 00:19:58.614
He's kept me alive to
00:19:58.822 --> 00:20:00.824
get some messages out there.
00:20:01.601 --> 00:20:02.618
- One.
00:20:02.618 --> 00:20:03.652
- One.
- One?
00:20:04.161 --> 00:20:05.178
In the back?
00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:06.496
How you doin’ today, ma'am?
00:20:07.289 --> 00:20:08.498
- It's fine. How many was it?
00:20:08.498 --> 00:20:09.566
- It's fine. How many was it?
- Two.
00:20:09.791 --> 00:20:12.211
It's amazing how many of these
people really need it, huh?
00:20:12.711 --> 00:20:13.712
They depend on this.
00:20:15.214 --> 00:20:17.549
When they changed the
breakdown of oxycodone,
00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:19.051
um, they changed it, so
00:20:19.051 --> 00:20:21.428
it's almost like it came
from outer space, really.
00:20:21.428 --> 00:20:23.263
You can't break 'em down unless
you put 'em in a microwave,
00:20:23.263 --> 00:20:24.264
put 'em in the oven.
00:20:25.182 --> 00:20:26.350
I was happy when they changed that
00:20:26.350 --> 00:20:28.101
'cause that was one of
my biggest struggles, was
00:20:28.101 --> 00:20:29.311
pharmaceutical, 'cause
00:20:29.311 --> 00:20:30.938
the heroin and stuff, you
don't know what you're gettin’
00:20:30.938 --> 00:20:32.773
so you get ripped off all the time.
You know what I mean?
00:20:32.773 --> 00:20:34.733
And you pay top dollar down here
and you get ripped off so
00:20:34.733 --> 00:20:36.985
the pill, what you're gettin’,
you know what I mean?
00:20:37.653 --> 00:20:38.820
But the Oxycontin went out
00:20:38.820 --> 00:20:40.280
and they come out with Opanas
00:20:40.697 --> 00:20:41.990
and Opanas was, uh,
00:20:42.699 --> 00:20:44.409
it was morphine and
Oxycontin together.
00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:46.119
And it was like, wow, what?
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.246
Why would they do that?
00:20:48.247 --> 00:20:49.748
Of course, I got hooked on them.
00:20:51.333 --> 00:20:52.876
Ma’am, be careful with this box.
00:20:52.876 --> 00:20:54.044
When you get it outta the car,
00:20:54.044 --> 00:20:55.963
tell whoever gets out,
be careful. I ripped it.
00:20:56.029 --> 00:20:57.089
Oh, okay.
00:20:57.089 --> 00:20:59.299
I love puppies.
You got all kinds, huh?
00:21:06.723 --> 00:21:07.766
There we go.
00:21:07.766 --> 00:21:08.892
I’m changing my life.
00:21:08.892 --> 00:21:10.519
Goin’ from negative to good and,
00:21:10.894 --> 00:21:12.896
I’m doin’ all the
good I can and all the
00:21:13.355 --> 00:21:15.899
volunteer work. Just trying
to get, back on track.
00:21:15.899 --> 00:21:17.693
Basically giving back to
the community, you know.
00:21:18.277 --> 00:21:21.238
I got in a car accident 11 years ago
and killed my fiancée.
00:21:21.655 --> 00:21:24.700
I went to prison for it and,
uh, did seven years
00:21:24.992 --> 00:21:27.035
just coming out, it's a,
00:21:27.035 --> 00:21:28.787
- people deserve an
opportunity, you know?
00:21:28.787 --> 00:21:29.955
- people deserve an opportunity, you know?
- Yes that’s true.
00:21:29.955 --> 00:21:31.123
A second chance, yes.
00:21:31.123 --> 00:21:33.250
Everybody deserves a second chance.
00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:34.459
- I believe that in my heart.
00:21:34.459 --> 00:21:35.585
- I believe that in my heart.
- Yes, I do too.
00:21:35.585 --> 00:21:36.545
- God bless you.
00:21:36.545 --> 00:21:37.337
- God bless you.
- Very good.
00:21:37.337 --> 00:21:38.422
- And you have a good day.
00:21:38.422 --> 00:21:39.339
- And you have a good day.
- I will, thank you.
00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:40.632
- Thanks again, see you next month.
00:21:40.632 --> 00:21:41.550
- Thanks again, see you next month.
- Okay.
00:21:50.392 --> 00:21:51.435
I don't,
00:21:51.435 --> 00:21:53.270
there's nothin’ I can do or say to
00:21:55.605 --> 00:21:57.899
bring her back for her family.
00:22:08.452 --> 00:22:10.454
We go out the road,
we get to my buddy's house,
00:22:10.662 --> 00:22:11.830
we get the Oxycontin.
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:13.165
My buddy has some,
00:22:13.165 --> 00:22:15.334
some dope that he grew.
He wanted me to try.
00:22:15.334 --> 00:22:16.335
Well, I smoked the joint,
00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:17.586
kicked the pills in.
00:22:17.586 --> 00:22:19.212
I don't remember the ride home much,
00:22:19.212 --> 00:22:20.255
and I was drivin’.
00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:24.885
I was comin’ down the highway and
she pinched the back of my arm.
00:22:24.885 --> 00:22:26.970
She said, "Hey, you almost
went off the road."
00:22:28.055 --> 00:22:29.138
You know.
00:22:30.474 --> 00:22:32.476
I actually fell asleep at the wheel,
00:22:32.476 --> 00:22:33.493
hit the train culvert
00:22:33.496 --> 00:22:35.812
and my axle grabbed
ahold of the pavement,
00:22:38.815 --> 00:22:40.734
flipped my truck two and a half times
00:22:41.485 --> 00:22:43.111
and ejected her out the windshield.
00:22:48.784 --> 00:22:50.869
Somehow she didn't break
no bones or nothin’.
00:22:50.869 --> 00:22:51.995
She just hit her head
00:22:51.995 --> 00:22:53.413
and she was just brain dead.
00:22:59.086 --> 00:23:00.087
I had
00:23:00.796 --> 00:23:02.923
diazepam, which is Valium,
00:23:02.923 --> 00:23:04.091
marijuana,
00:23:04.091 --> 00:23:05.675
oxycodone,
00:23:05.675 --> 00:23:07.761
cocaine and methadone
00:23:07.761 --> 00:23:09.429
all in my urine.
00:23:12.933 --> 00:23:14.726
They arrested me the next day
00:23:15.185 --> 00:23:16.561
for vehicular homicide.
00:23:17.604 --> 00:23:18.688
Two counts.
00:23:18.939 --> 00:23:20.023
She was pregnant.
00:23:23.735 --> 00:23:25.070
We didn't even know.
00:23:27.989 --> 00:23:29.574
So more or less,
now they're tellin’ me that
00:23:29.574 --> 00:23:31.410
not only did I kill my best friend I,
00:23:32.327 --> 00:23:34.830
I killed my own baby. You know?
00:23:36.248 --> 00:23:37.999
I cried from Huntington to here.
00:23:39.292 --> 00:23:41.545
I just, I wanted it out of this world.
00:23:42.629 --> 00:23:44.423
33 days after that happened,
00:23:44.423 --> 00:23:46.007
I was sittin’ in the penitentiary.
00:23:47.592 --> 00:23:49.594
Most assuredly, I say to you,
00:23:50.011 --> 00:23:53.765
he who believes in Me,
the works that I do
00:23:53.765 --> 00:23:55.434
he will do also.
00:23:56.143 --> 00:23:58.437
And whatever you ask in My name,
00:23:58.895 --> 00:23:59.980
that I will do,
00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:02.774
If you ask anything in
My name, I will do it.
00:24:02.774 --> 00:24:05.110
My tattoos, it's kind of crazy now,
00:24:05.110 --> 00:24:06.736
I'm kind of ashamed of them.
00:24:07.320 --> 00:24:10.615
I never got a piece on me that
didn't have some kind of meaning.
00:24:11.491 --> 00:24:15.078
Most of 'em are very demonic,
00:24:15.662 --> 00:24:17.914
skin stretched and
skin tearing, you know?
00:24:17.914 --> 00:24:19.916
And that's the way I felt.
00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:24.546
I'm still on the fence, man.
00:24:24.546 --> 00:24:26.006
I'm still straddlin’.
00:24:26.756 --> 00:24:28.925
I could go right or left at any time.
00:24:31.261 --> 00:24:33.054
When I hated myself,
00:24:33.597 --> 00:24:36.725
that wouldn't enable me
to love anybody else.
00:24:39.644 --> 00:24:42.772
That place just, it breeds hate.
00:24:44.774 --> 00:24:46.276
Slowly but surely.
00:24:46.276 --> 00:24:48.153
You're stickin’ with your
race more and more.
00:24:48.153 --> 00:24:50.947
I got to where I wouldn’t even
sit by a Black man.
00:24:54.826 --> 00:24:56.578
The Aryan Brotherhood.
That's the top honkies.
00:24:56.578 --> 00:24:58.413
You know, even the COs respect them.
00:24:58.663 --> 00:25:01.082
And that's one of the
reasons why I accepted.
00:25:02.667 --> 00:25:04.002
It was hard comin’ out here
00:25:04.628 --> 00:25:07.464
to the real world where
I wasn't nobody.
00:25:07.923 --> 00:25:09.049
I wasn't nothing.
00:25:10.800 --> 00:25:13.220
I want to close that
chapter in my life
00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:14.930
and I want to start new.
00:25:16.264 --> 00:25:18.099
All’s I want is
00:25:20.936 --> 00:25:23.355
just to be happy,
I guess I'd say. And just
00:25:24.606 --> 00:25:27.275
the life everybody else
thinks of as normal and
00:25:27.275 --> 00:25:28.902
5 to 9 boring.
00:25:29.194 --> 00:25:30.904
That's what I want.
00:26:01.977 --> 00:26:03.478
Just give it another minute or two.
00:26:07.732 --> 00:26:08.799
Uh-oh, an egg.
00:26:08.801 --> 00:26:09.526
- Grandma!
00:26:09.526 --> 00:26:10.527
- Grandma.
- Grandma!
00:26:12.571 --> 00:26:14.573
Now you made two go out.
00:26:14.573 --> 00:26:15.824
- You see what you do.
- Oh, that's all right.
00:26:15.824 --> 00:26:17.993
You see what you do when
you're in here and cooking?
00:26:17.993 --> 00:26:18.997
You mess it up.
00:26:18.999 --> 00:26:20.078
I clean my messes up.
00:26:20.495 --> 00:26:21.746
I love you, Grandma.
00:26:24.624 --> 00:26:25.625
I love you buddy.
00:26:26.001 --> 00:26:27.210
What do you do now?
00:26:28.545 --> 00:26:29.637
No.
00:26:49.232 --> 00:26:51.651
Papa, you're strong.
00:26:53.028 --> 00:26:55.530
I worry about Curtis a lot.
00:26:56.281 --> 00:26:58.491
Yup, I worry about him a lot.
00:26:58.491 --> 00:26:59.618
Sure do.
00:27:03.330 --> 00:27:04.389
He’s at that age,
00:27:04.391 --> 00:27:06.166
experimental age.
00:27:06.833 --> 00:27:08.543
And the way this family is,
00:27:08.543 --> 00:27:11.296
this is all fucked up, man.
00:27:16.593 --> 00:27:18.845
I think it’s hereditary. Yeah.
00:27:21.681 --> 00:27:23.391
Just like diabetes,
00:27:23.808 --> 00:27:25.518
heart disease.
00:27:27.395 --> 00:27:30.440
You pass it down to your kids.
00:27:35.028 --> 00:27:38.698
You look at me I’m
a sitting experience.
00:27:42.911 --> 00:27:44.579
My dad was an alcoholic.
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.667
I don’t give a damn
where I hid in that house.
00:27:49.084 --> 00:27:51.252
It’s like he knew where I was.
00:27:56.466 --> 00:27:58.677
And sure enough he’d find me.
00:28:01.346 --> 00:28:02.380
And...
00:28:03.264 --> 00:28:05.517
He’d hold his hand over my face.
00:28:08.103 --> 00:28:09.521
To where he took my breath.
00:28:09.521 --> 00:28:11.690
Then, he’d turn me, turn it loose
00:28:12.857 --> 00:28:14.859
and he’d smack my face.
00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:16.403
He’d slap the shit out of me.
00:28:16.403 --> 00:28:18.571
Have my nose and mouth bleeding.
00:28:18.947 --> 00:28:21.116
I’d say, “That don’t hurt.”
00:28:22.367 --> 00:28:23.576
He’d do it harder.
00:28:25.578 --> 00:28:27.747
He kept doin’ that till I was probably
00:28:30.125 --> 00:28:32.001
13, 14 years-old.
00:28:32.711 --> 00:28:34.587
And I just got sick of it.
00:28:38.758 --> 00:28:41.928
He had a .44 Smith and Wesson.
00:28:42.637 --> 00:28:44.806
I found where he hid it at
00:28:47.142 --> 00:28:49.310
and I found a couple bullets for it.
00:28:50.186 --> 00:28:52.355
So I put ‘em in the gun.
00:28:52.355 --> 00:28:54.524
I pulled the hammer back on it
00:28:55.150 --> 00:28:57.485
and had it sittin’ at the
top of the steps,
00:28:57.861 --> 00:28:58.920
like that.
00:28:59.529 --> 00:29:01.865
Waiting on Dad to come in the door.
00:29:02.157 --> 00:29:04.701
I’d done made my mind up
I was gonna kill him.
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:10.415
When I heard the keys rattlin’
00:29:11.332 --> 00:29:14.252
I put that gun up on my leg,
00:29:15.253 --> 00:29:17.589
had my finger on the trigger,
00:29:17.756 --> 00:29:20.091
and when Mom stepped through the door,
00:29:20.258 --> 00:29:22.010
I could have vomitted.
00:29:22.469 --> 00:29:24.429
If the porch light hand’t been on
00:29:24.429 --> 00:29:26.347
I’d a probably shot Mom.
00:29:28.308 --> 00:29:30.977
So, that was Dad.
00:29:40.278 --> 00:29:41.571
Dad!
00:29:41.571 --> 00:29:42.864
What?
00:29:46.659 --> 00:29:48.036
Go ahead. Save it.
00:29:48.036 --> 00:29:49.871
He’ll grab a hold of it.
00:29:53.082 --> 00:29:54.167
Give it a minute.
00:29:57.629 --> 00:29:59.047
Now pick up on it.
00:30:09.265 --> 00:30:10.266
Dad!
00:30:13.812 --> 00:30:15.730
Dad, I got him out.
00:30:15.730 --> 00:30:16.648
- You got him out?
00:30:16.648 --> 00:30:18.983
- You got him out?
- Yeah, look, you dry him off.
00:30:19.234 --> 00:30:20.235
See?
00:30:23.571 --> 00:30:24.864
Stop!
00:30:26.157 --> 00:30:27.242
What do you mean stop?
00:30:27.242 --> 00:30:30.245
Stop!
00:30:33.706 --> 00:30:34.916
He ain't gonna hurt ya.
00:30:38.044 --> 00:30:39.838
Oh! Chicken out!
00:30:41.673 --> 00:30:43.174
Daddy chickened out.
00:30:49.806 --> 00:30:51.057
Stick to Jesus.
00:30:52.058 --> 00:30:53.601
You want a good life.
00:30:54.352 --> 00:30:55.478
Stick to Jesus.
00:30:55.478 --> 00:30:57.730
Give Him all the praise and the glory.
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:03.444
The more you seek Him,
the more you’ll find Him,
00:31:03.444 --> 00:31:06.865
and then the more you’ll see
how much He loves you.
00:31:08.741 --> 00:31:11.077
Then you’ll have a awesome life.
00:31:13.288 --> 00:31:16.040
Put Him ahead of everything.
00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:24.924
As I stand here today,
00:31:26.342 --> 00:31:27.969
I know where I was at.
00:31:29.762 --> 00:31:33.391
On my knees in the front
of the Lord His-self.
00:31:33.641 --> 00:31:36.060
Seen two baby angels.
00:31:36.811 --> 00:31:38.479
And I seen all of
00:31:38.479 --> 00:31:40.815
Jesus standin’ there but His face and
00:31:40.815 --> 00:31:44.652
it was like lookin’ into the brightest
thing you could ever imagine.
00:31:45.653 --> 00:31:46.687
And....
00:31:48.698 --> 00:31:49.732
yeah,
00:31:49.908 --> 00:31:51.701
when I came out of that,
00:31:51.701 --> 00:31:54.203
the sweat was pourin’ off of me.
00:31:54.996 --> 00:31:56.205
I couldn’t cuss,
00:31:56.205 --> 00:31:57.332
I couldn’t nothin.
00:31:57.332 --> 00:31:58.708
I was brand new.
00:31:58.708 --> 00:32:01.878
And that time I sat and sang
in praise and look up
00:32:01.878 --> 00:32:03.755
I seen Jesus.
00:32:06.174 --> 00:32:07.425
He’s the greatest thing
00:32:07.425 --> 00:32:09.719
that ever happend to me in my life.
00:32:11.262 --> 00:32:13.681
One day, boy, one day.
00:32:17.268 --> 00:32:18.561
Dominic.
00:32:37.789 --> 00:32:40.291
I gotta fuckin’ tree I gotta go up.
00:32:41.167 --> 00:32:42.794
It’s a seventy foot tall.
00:34:25.146 --> 00:34:26.189
What?
00:34:26.849 --> 00:34:27.857
Huh? Chop-chop.
00:34:27.857 --> 00:34:29.233
Nice to meet you, buddy.
00:34:29.525 --> 00:34:31.069
You got your tuxedo on?
00:34:32.236 --> 00:34:33.654
You ready to go to the dance?
00:34:34.072 --> 00:34:35.490
You love your daddy, don't you?
00:34:35.948 --> 00:34:37.366
You’re about the only one, ain't ya?
00:34:39.285 --> 00:34:40.286
That's a good boy.
00:34:48.002 --> 00:34:49.837
Let me show you what to do.
00:34:51.322 --> 00:34:52.340
I could probably do that a bit.
00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:54.425
I tried it clear across
in there and I hadn't...
00:34:56.844 --> 00:34:58.554
I just put a piece up through there.
00:35:00.264 --> 00:35:01.265
Now.
00:35:02.183 --> 00:35:03.810
I was lookin’ through my
stuff last night and
00:35:03.810 --> 00:35:06.437
I found that video of Mom
the day before she died.
00:35:06.938 --> 00:35:07.939
And um,
00:35:08.523 --> 00:35:09.774
it's on your birthday.
00:35:10.316 --> 00:35:11.484
Kinda ironic.
00:35:11.484 --> 00:35:12.485
What is?
00:35:12.485 --> 00:35:14.028
When Mom died, when I went around...
00:35:14.028 --> 00:35:15.154
You don’t know my birthday.
00:35:15.154 --> 00:35:17.365
She didn't die on my birthday,
J.P. Don't talk about that.
00:35:17.365 --> 00:35:18.699
She died the day after, Grandma.
00:35:18.699 --> 00:35:19.992
I don't wanna hear it.
00:35:19.992 --> 00:35:21.869
Anyways I got that video if
you ever wanna watch it.
00:35:22.370 --> 00:35:23.871
I cannot look at the pictures.
00:35:23.871 --> 00:35:26.207
I don't wanna talk about it. Okay?
00:35:30.419 --> 00:35:32.421
Why do you want to
talk about that stuff?
00:35:32.755 --> 00:35:34.757
Believe it or not, Grandma,
it helps to talk about it.
00:35:34.757 --> 00:35:36.384
Well, it don't help me none.
00:35:36.384 --> 00:35:38.594
And that's why you're in denial.
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:43.474
I don't care if it does or not.
00:35:46.769 --> 00:35:48.271
Is that why you stay busy though?
00:35:48.271 --> 00:35:48.899
- Huh?
00:35:48.899 --> 00:35:49.857
- Huh?
- So you don't think about things?
00:35:49.857 --> 00:35:50.857
That's right.
00:35:53.234 --> 00:35:55.361
My spine is deterioratin’
00:35:55.987 --> 00:35:57.989
and I can do my own stuff.
00:35:58.573 --> 00:36:00.199
I don't ask no one to help me.
00:36:00.575 --> 00:36:02.410
When I can't do my own thing,
00:36:02.743 --> 00:36:03.911
then I'll die.
00:36:05.663 --> 00:36:06.539
Yeah, I guess.
00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:09.041
I've worked two jobs to keep you kids
00:36:09.709 --> 00:36:11.419
and my kids, then
00:36:11.794 --> 00:36:14.380
I've had more trouble with you
three kids than I've had with
00:36:14.797 --> 00:36:16.007
seven of 'em.
00:36:18.384 --> 00:36:19.552
Oh, God.
00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:23.222
- Not that.
00:36:23.222 --> 00:36:24.432
- Not that.
- Heck with it!
00:36:32.481 --> 00:36:35.735
I gotta get doin’ somethin’
else before I give up.
00:36:39.238 --> 00:36:41.365
Did you expect to
find me dead already?
00:36:42.742 --> 00:36:43.826
It wouldn't surprise me.
00:36:43.826 --> 00:36:45.828
I thought maybe you’s
gonna kill me now.
00:36:46.005 --> 00:36:46.871
- You did?
00:36:46.871 --> 00:36:47.947
- You did?
- Yes I did.
00:36:48.080 --> 00:36:50.583
On them drugs and you
told me to “watch my back.”
00:36:51.959 --> 00:36:54.837
Yeah, I get mad when I ain’t
gettin’ my way wouldn’t I?
00:36:54.837 --> 00:36:57.381
and I said,
“You better watch your back.”
00:36:57.422 --> 00:36:58.424
Yeah.
00:36:58.424 --> 00:36:59.967
- I get mad when
I didn’t get my way...
00:36:59.967 --> 00:37:01.260
- I get mad when I didn’t get my way...
- Terry,
00:37:01.886 --> 00:37:02.887
I remember,
00:37:03.554 --> 00:37:05.056
Terry and Kathy used to
be scared that–
00:37:05.056 --> 00:37:06.599
I can't believe that you
didn't believe me though
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:08.434
that little Terry molested me.
00:37:08.434 --> 00:37:08.976
What?
00:37:08.976 --> 00:37:10.645
When I told you little Terry
molested me. I couldn’t–
00:37:10.645 --> 00:37:11.687
What little Terry?
00:37:11.687 --> 00:37:13.189
Yeah. So I'm lyin’?
00:37:13.814 --> 00:37:16.317
I don't know if you're lyin’.
I think you're mistaken.
00:37:17.068 --> 00:37:18.319
Yeah, I'm mistaken.
00:37:18.319 --> 00:37:20.071
- Up there at that trailer
when you wasn't around.
00:37:20.071 --> 00:37:21.280
- Up there at that trailer when you wasn't around.
- He never come up there.
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.281
Yes he did.
00:37:22.657 --> 00:37:24.492
He stayed up there with us one summer.
00:37:25.117 --> 00:37:28.037
I don't think I can mistake someone
sticking their penis in me.
00:37:29.705 --> 00:37:30.456
But–
00:37:30.456 --> 00:37:33.084
Well, I can't believe you wouldn't
tell someone either, so.
00:37:33.501 --> 00:37:34.752
I didn't know
00:37:34.752 --> 00:37:36.045
really when I was that young.
00:37:37.713 --> 00:37:39.757
- It’s the past though. No big deal.
00:37:39.757 --> 00:37:40.675
- It’s the past though. No big deal.
- I don't believe it.
00:37:40.675 --> 00:37:42.885
Why the fuck would I
lie about that? Honestly?
00:37:42.885 --> 00:37:45.096
Now. What did you say?
00:37:45.096 --> 00:37:47.056
I said why the fuck would I lie
about that? That hurts my feelings.
00:37:47.056 --> 00:37:48.307
Now. You're goin’ to
church tonight, aren't you?
00:37:48.307 --> 00:37:49.600
- I don't care about church.
You're callin’ me a liar.
00:37:49.600 --> 00:37:50.518
- I don't care about church. You're callin’ me a liar.
- All right then.
00:37:50.518 --> 00:37:52.144
You're sayin’ you don't believe me,
Grandma. That hurts.
00:37:52.144 --> 00:37:53.604
I'd a heard it a long time ago.
00:37:53.604 --> 00:37:55.398
No, Grandma.
I swear to God it happened.
00:37:56.357 --> 00:37:58.109
I wouldn't have no
reason to lie about that.
00:37:58.109 --> 00:38:00.069
Ya have no reason to cuss like that.
00:38:00.069 --> 00:38:01.320
Well it hurt my feelings
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:03.698
- Well, dear, dear.
- and I cuss when it hurts my feelings.
00:38:04.115 --> 00:38:06.575
Okay, I gotta get my work done.
00:38:06.575 --> 00:38:08.119
I'm not gonna sit and listen to you.
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:10.329
All right. I gotta get
ready for church anyway.
00:38:50.369 --> 00:38:52.079
J.P.’s brother, Donald,
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:53.998
he don’t want to get off drugs.
00:38:55.124 --> 00:38:57.126
I picked him up from
jail a couple times.
00:38:57.668 --> 00:39:00.296
(Donald singing)
It's a beautiful mornin’.
00:39:00.296 --> 00:39:01.881
Give me a kiss aunt Cheryl.
00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:03.341
Come on.
00:39:04.999 --> 00:39:05.718
Stinks.
00:39:05.718 --> 00:39:07.386
Smells like kerosene. I don’t know.
00:39:09.138 --> 00:39:10.806
I'm goin’ to a crack house
up in Columbus.
00:39:11.054 --> 00:39:12.058
13 years old.
00:39:12.058 --> 00:39:14.268
I started off with $50,
got ripped off the first $50.
00:39:14.268 --> 00:39:16.103
Then went from $100
and went to $10,000.
00:39:16.103 --> 00:39:18.230
I met my wife Tia when I was 14.
00:39:18.230 --> 00:39:20.274
I had about $7,000 in my pocket.
00:39:20.274 --> 00:39:21.525
Eight ounces of crack.
00:39:21.525 --> 00:39:23.527
That was mine, ask her,
she’ll tell you.
00:39:24.487 --> 00:39:25.502
Watch. Watch this.
00:39:26.781 --> 00:39:29.033
The day I met you, the day I met you,
00:39:29.033 --> 00:39:30.910
what, what property did I have on me?
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:34.580
Oh my God, like $5,000
and a bunch of crack.
00:39:35.731 --> 00:39:36.791
Bunches of crack.
00:39:36.791 --> 00:39:39.001
That's before I started smoking it.
I was hustlin’ for Timmy and them.
00:39:40.878 --> 00:39:42.296
She said, “How old are you?”
I said 17.
00:39:42.296 --> 00:39:43.631
Took her to Grandma's.
Grandma said, “How old's she?”
00:39:43.631 --> 00:39:45.049
I said, “She's only 16.”
00:39:45.049 --> 00:39:46.926
Grandma said, “You just
turned 14 the other day.”
00:39:46.926 --> 00:39:47.802
She's 19.
00:39:48.052 --> 00:39:49.845
She done fell in love with Daddy.
You hear me though?
00:40:04.819 --> 00:40:05.820
This is all you do.
00:40:11.659 --> 00:40:12.910
You need to try to floss.
00:40:13.285 --> 00:40:14.537
Do it now. Everybody get up.
00:40:15.621 --> 00:40:17.123
Everybody floss. It's needed.
00:40:18.207 --> 00:40:19.792
Then we're never gonna
cheer up these clouds,
00:40:19.792 --> 00:40:21.043
it's all gonna be hot.
00:40:22.628 --> 00:40:24.380
Anybody know how to
do the spaghetti dance?
00:40:26.507 --> 00:40:27.508
You just gotta go.
00:40:28.467 --> 00:40:30.094
You're just movin’ your arms.
00:40:30.678 --> 00:40:31.887
And then I'm a wet noodle.
00:40:32.638 --> 00:40:33.764
Everybody else has to be noodles.
00:40:33.764 --> 00:40:35.766
And then we gotta have
the sauce and the meatball.
00:40:36.499 --> 00:40:37.518
Come on.
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.020
Y'all are a bunch of party poopers.
00:40:41.230 --> 00:40:43.065
How we going dance
if y'all ain't even moving?
00:40:43.858 --> 00:40:45.943
I kind of go numb inside I guess,
00:40:45.943 --> 00:40:46.694
'cause like
00:40:46.694 --> 00:40:48.696
it's not that easy to
just quit I guess
00:40:48.696 --> 00:40:51.365
because if it is, I don't know
why my family hadn't already
00:40:51.782 --> 00:40:53.409
did it a long time ago.
00:41:26.108 --> 00:41:27.610
Call T.A. Fuck it.
00:41:29.195 --> 00:41:31.405
I'm not waitin’ around
for these motherfuckers,
00:41:31.739 --> 00:41:32.801
I'm not doin’ it.
00:41:35.201 --> 00:41:36.035
Where at?
00:41:36.035 --> 00:41:37.620
Okay, behind the bank on Fourth?
00:41:39.163 --> 00:41:40.170
All right.
00:41:41.248 --> 00:41:42.249
Here.
00:41:43.209 --> 00:41:44.960
Would it be too late then, buddy?
We're uh...
00:41:45.127 --> 00:41:46.462
Here comes a cop towards me.
00:41:46.795 --> 00:41:48.631
They all fuckin’ know me man.
00:41:48.631 --> 00:41:50.049
They know I don't have a license.
00:41:51.425 --> 00:41:53.636
If I get pulled over I'm goin’
straight to fuckin’ jail.
00:41:57.139 --> 00:41:59.350
If we get down there and they
fuck around I'm going to T.A.
00:42:00.142 --> 00:42:01.936
You sat there and said
they was fuckin’ there.
00:42:01.936 --> 00:42:04.021
That's the only reason why you're
fuckin’ doin’ this Donald.
00:42:04.355 --> 00:42:07.525
Look you dumb fuckin’ piece of shit.
Man, you're dumb as fuck.
00:42:07.525 --> 00:42:08.489
You know I'm just goin’ home.
00:42:08.491 --> 00:42:10.027
Look, I said what room you in?
00:42:10.027 --> 00:42:11.529
They haven’t answered me back yet.
00:42:11.820 --> 00:42:14.323
I'm sick and tired of
chasin’ after fuckin’ dope.
00:42:17.660 --> 00:42:18.786
I'm just gettin’ tired of it.
00:42:43.727 --> 00:42:44.895
It's pretty here ain't it?
00:42:50.985 --> 00:42:52.611
Hmm, what’d they cut this with?
00:42:53.112 --> 00:42:54.119
Lemme taste it.
00:42:54.989 --> 00:42:56.782
Mm. Mm mm mm.
00:42:59.076 --> 00:43:01.328
He's big, big, big Black dude.
00:43:02.121 --> 00:43:03.247
But you know what they call him?
00:43:03.899 --> 00:43:04.623
Tiny.
00:43:04.623 --> 00:43:05.663
Tiny?
00:43:05.666 --> 00:43:06.667
That’s who it was.
00:43:08.002 --> 00:43:09.253
Which way we goin’ back out?
00:43:10.963 --> 00:43:12.131
See, I'm already done.
00:43:17.761 --> 00:43:19.430
Ahh, you feel it?
00:43:20.723 --> 00:43:21.723
Mm-hmm.
00:43:22.099 --> 00:43:23.102
Yeah.
00:43:23.050 --> 00:43:24.018
You good?
00:43:24.018 --> 00:43:25.021
Yep.
00:43:27.354 --> 00:43:28.355
Where’s the salt?
00:43:29.273 --> 00:43:30.482
I don't feel it yet.
00:43:31.191 --> 00:43:32.610
Because you just
gotta it you dumb ass.
00:43:32.610 --> 00:43:33.614
You feel it?
00:43:34.862 --> 00:43:35.946
Yes. I feel it.
00:43:36.488 --> 00:43:37.740
It's comin’ on even more.
00:43:37.740 --> 00:43:38.741
You know how it turns your stomach?
00:43:39.742 --> 00:43:40.804
You got it?
00:43:41.035 --> 00:43:42.161
It's makin’ me sick.
00:43:43.099 --> 00:43:44.121
- Well, you missed me.
00:43:44.121 --> 00:43:45.956
- Well, you missed me.
- Look at my arm. Oh my God.
00:43:46.832 --> 00:43:48.292
I'ma do a second
‘cause I don't feel it.
00:44:06.810 --> 00:44:07.895
You scared me.
00:44:08.103 --> 00:44:09.146
Got some poppers.
00:44:09.146 --> 00:44:10.272
You scared me!
00:44:11.565 --> 00:44:12.601
Just get up?
00:44:12.858 --> 00:44:14.318
Yeah, just a while back.
00:44:15.110 --> 00:44:17.154
I got two poppers in my pocket.
00:44:17.571 --> 00:44:18.614
Wanna pop one?
00:44:24.995 --> 00:44:25.996
Mine was louder.
00:44:29.249 --> 00:44:31.251
If I had a piece of paper
I could show you a trick with it.
00:44:31.251 --> 00:44:32.670
Make a popper out of it.
00:44:32.670 --> 00:44:33.671
Can you really?
00:44:33.671 --> 00:44:36.173
Yeah, I can make ‘em pop
about a hundred times.
00:44:36.173 --> 00:44:38.842
You know what you’re,
you can do a lot of stuff, Curtis.
00:44:40.177 --> 00:44:41.387
You're amazing, man.
00:44:41.387 --> 00:44:43.889
- My friend taught me how to do it.
- You’re smart, y'know what I’m sayin’?
00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:46.392
Do somethin’ with your life, boy.
For real.
00:44:47.601 --> 00:44:48.686
I think I will.
00:44:48.686 --> 00:44:49.478
- Hit this baby girl.
Hit this baby girl.
00:44:49.478 --> 00:44:51.105
- Hit this baby girl. Hit this baby girl.
- Hey my sister. That’s my girl.
00:44:52.189 --> 00:44:53.104
Hit that.
00:44:53.107 --> 00:44:55.275
Tia hit this jay. She’s lonely.
00:44:56.026 --> 00:44:58.362
I told him on the phone I'm
comin’ down there. I'm live.
00:44:59.029 --> 00:45:00.030
- Wide open bitches. What’s up?
00:45:00.030 --> 00:45:01.281
- Wide open bitches. What’s up?
- I'm not gettin’ in a fuckin’ fight.
00:45:01.281 --> 00:45:02.574
I'm not takin’ you down there to fight.
00:45:02.574 --> 00:45:03.604
Oh, I'm gonna rob that bitch.
00:45:03.606 --> 00:45:04.618
Naw, I'm gonna go in there, ’n be cool.
00:45:04.618 --> 00:45:06.537
I'mma say hey baby girl.
What's up? What’s you?
00:45:08.163 --> 00:45:10.165
[inaudible chatter]
00:45:42.698 --> 00:45:45.451
“Well, I was standin’ on the
corner sellin' rap CDs”
00:45:45.451 --> 00:45:47.703
“When I met a little girl named Jan”
00:45:47.703 --> 00:45:49.246
“I let her ride in my Caddy”
00:45:49.246 --> 00:45:51.457
- “cause I didn't know her daddy was
the leader of the Ku Klux Klan”
00:45:51.457 --> 00:45:52.000
- “cause I didn't know her daddy was
the leader of the Ku Klux Klan”
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.000
- Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.669
“We fucked on the bed,
fucked on the floor.”
00:45:55.669 --> 00:45:57.629
“Fucked so long I grew a fuckin' afro.”
00:45:57.629 --> 00:46:00.299
“Then I fucked to the left,
fucked to the right.”
00:46:07.306 --> 00:46:09.308
Dad, please wake up!
00:46:12.186 --> 00:46:14.646
Hey John! They’re putting him in,
he’s not breathing!
00:46:15.481 --> 00:46:16.482
Look!
00:46:18.567 --> 00:46:20.068
They're not doing shit!
00:46:27.451 --> 00:46:30.162
These doctors can’t tell you
how long you have to live.
00:46:32.581 --> 00:46:33.957
He got on his medicine.
00:46:35.042 --> 00:46:36.835
I think he took too many of them.
00:46:39.296 --> 00:46:40.756
They call them Roxys.
00:46:41.507 --> 00:46:42.966
It’s 15 milligram.
00:46:43.467 --> 00:46:45.344
Ya’ll ain't doing nothing! No!
00:46:45.677 --> 00:46:47.095
I have the freedom of speech!
00:46:47.095 --> 00:46:48.347
Curtis. That's right.
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:49.932
I don’t have to!
00:46:50.390 --> 00:46:52.267
You are heartless!
00:46:59.358 --> 00:47:01.193
Everybody says he’s lookin’ down.
00:47:02.903 --> 00:47:04.738
I don’t know about all that stuff.
00:47:10.035 --> 00:47:12.120
Since I been a kid going to church,
00:47:12.955 --> 00:47:14.790
they’ve said God is comin’.
00:47:16.792 --> 00:47:18.710
He could do something with the world
00:47:18.710 --> 00:47:20.212
if He wanted to.
00:47:22.589 --> 00:47:24.758
But, evidently, He don’t want to.
00:48:00.168 --> 00:48:01.169
Dominic,
00:48:02.504 --> 00:48:03.589
you can wait until...
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.552
My parents were accused of having
drugs in their system by a cop.
00:48:08.886 --> 00:48:11.972
Then they came to us
the day after and
00:48:11.972 --> 00:48:13.181
they came and picked us up.
00:48:15.475 --> 00:48:16.894
We were only told we would be here
00:48:17.019 --> 00:48:17.890
three days?
00:48:17.895 --> 00:48:18.312
- A day.
00:48:18.312 --> 00:48:18.979
- A day.
- A day.
00:48:19.354 --> 00:48:21.565
And then it ended up
turning into 30 days.
00:48:21.565 --> 00:48:23.483
And we've been here for 30 days.
00:48:23.483 --> 00:48:25.110
And then tomorrow will be 31 days
00:48:25.569 --> 00:48:27.446
and then we'll be going
home more than likely.
00:48:29.364 --> 00:48:31.491
All right. I'll just put two
pieces down for you.
00:48:33.285 --> 00:48:34.306
Hold on.
00:48:35.746 --> 00:48:38.165
This has been my sixth time maybe?
00:48:39.958 --> 00:48:41.168
Yeah.
00:48:43.629 --> 00:48:45.547
I was in foster care
whenever I was real young
00:48:45.547 --> 00:48:47.549
with my cousin John-John
and my sister Destiny.
00:48:48.842 --> 00:48:50.594
Then I went again by myself
00:48:50.594 --> 00:48:52.721
and then again with my sister.
00:48:58.143 --> 00:48:59.227
So that's seven.
00:48:59.937 --> 00:49:00.941
For me.
00:49:01.563 --> 00:49:02.940
You don't know what a pawn is, do you?
00:49:41.687 --> 00:49:42.938
I was thinkin’ the whole time
00:49:42.938 --> 00:49:44.773
that we weren't gonna be going home.
00:49:45.273 --> 00:49:47.651
So whenever I got the news and
they came and picked me up,
00:49:47.651 --> 00:49:48.819
I was really happy. Like,
00:49:49.277 --> 00:49:52.197
I was shaking with excitement.
00:49:55.075 --> 00:49:56.076
Hey Mom.
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.413
Hey baby boy, what’re you doin?
00:50:00.038 --> 00:50:01.046
Not much.
00:50:02.165 --> 00:50:02.874
- Waitin’ on her.
00:50:02.874 --> 00:50:05.252
- Waitin’ on her.
- Oh, I can’t wait until I see you though.
00:50:05.252 --> 00:50:06.378
- Where are you right now?
00:50:06.378 --> 00:50:07.337
- Where are you right now?
- Headed there.
00:50:07.337 --> 00:50:09.339
We’ll be there in, not long.
00:50:09.589 --> 00:50:10.590
All right.
00:50:10.966 --> 00:50:12.426
All right, I love you baby.
00:50:12.426 --> 00:50:13.828
- I love you.
00:50:13.830 --> 00:50:15.721
- Stay up and wait on Mommy,
I’ll be there real soon.
00:50:15.721 --> 00:50:16.728
All right I will.
00:50:18.557 --> 00:50:19.558
You too.
00:50:46.043 --> 00:50:47.294
I love you.
00:50:47.753 --> 00:50:49.504
Love you. Love you.
00:50:50.464 --> 00:50:51.715
Love you.
00:50:52.966 --> 00:50:55.886
Oh, I love you so much, honey.
I’m so glad.
00:50:57.012 --> 00:50:58.597
Mommy needed this so bad.
00:50:58.805 --> 00:51:00.891
Just look at my cast.
00:51:02.017 --> 00:51:03.894
Love you. Love you. Love you.
00:51:05.854 --> 00:51:06.938
Shyla,
00:51:07.230 --> 00:51:08.356
look at Mommy.
00:51:08.899 --> 00:51:10.400
Never ever again.
00:51:11.026 --> 00:51:12.033
Never!
00:51:12.152 --> 00:51:13.361
I'm sorry.
00:51:13.904 --> 00:51:14.988
Calm down, Mom.
00:51:16.031 --> 00:51:17.115
It's not your fault.
00:51:17.574 --> 00:51:18.658
- Yeah it is.
00:51:18.660 --> 00:51:20.660
- Nuh-uh, because it
was all accusations
00:51:20.660 --> 00:51:22.204
that were proven to be wrong.
00:51:22.829 --> 00:51:24.206
I'm so sorry.
00:51:24.664 --> 00:51:26.458
(Dominic)
It’s all right, Mom.
00:51:27.417 --> 00:51:28.502
Never again.
00:51:30.378 --> 00:51:32.506
- Is that Dad?
- Hope you guys can forgive me.
00:51:32.506 --> 00:51:33.548
Is Dad here?
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:34.341
- Yep.
00:51:34.341 --> 00:51:35.425
- Yep.
- I can’t.
00:51:36.802 --> 00:51:38.553
You forgive Mommy, baby?
00:51:39.763 --> 00:51:40.764
I'll fight you.
00:51:41.098 --> 00:51:41.765
- I'll fight you first.
00:51:41.765 --> 00:51:42.974
- I'll fight you first.
- With hugs and kisses.
00:51:43.308 --> 00:51:44.309
Oh okay.
00:51:46.228 --> 00:51:46.978
- I missed you, Mom.
00:51:46.978 --> 00:51:48.897
- I missed you, Mom.
- I missed you, Baby.
00:51:49.940 --> 00:51:52.776
“Sleeping so peaceful”
00:51:52.984 --> 00:51:55.320
“in my bed last night,”
00:51:56.071 --> 00:52:00.158
“the spirit of God filled the room.”
00:52:01.576 --> 00:52:04.955
“In the wee hours of the morning,”
00:52:05.413 --> 00:52:09.251
“He woke me up and He asked me”
00:52:09.251 --> 00:52:12.671
“to pray for you.”
00:52:14.089 --> 00:52:16.758
“The children of God”
00:52:17.384 --> 00:52:19.845
“from time to time”
00:52:20.428 --> 00:52:24.432
“wrestle with pain and despair.”
00:52:24.432 --> 00:52:25.684
Amen.
00:52:26.143 --> 00:52:29.396
“But in all situations”
00:52:29.729 --> 00:52:33.942
“we’re lifted up, we're encouraged”
00:52:34.109 --> 00:52:37.279
“and strengthened by prayer.”
00:52:38.238 --> 00:52:41.741
“So the next time you see me”
00:52:42.117 --> 00:52:44.494
“ facing a trial,”
00:52:45.120 --> 00:52:48.957
“there's one thing you could do.”
00:52:50.709 --> 00:52:53.587
“it would mean so much”
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:56.965
“if you'd call and say”
00:52:56.965 --> 00:53:01.970
“my darling, I'm a prayin’ for you.”
00:53:03.680 --> 00:53:09.060
“I pray for you in your troubles.”
00:53:09.644 --> 00:53:15.275
“To Jesus I call your name”
00:53:15.650 --> 00:53:19.112
“Oh I really believe”
00:53:19.112 --> 00:53:23.533
“that you will receive your answer.”
00:53:23.533 --> 00:53:28.538
“For I pray for you.”
00:53:44.346 --> 00:53:47.098
Hey, babe, I'm done smokin’.
Let’s get this Bible read
00:53:47.098 --> 00:53:49.517
and get started,
so we can get our day started.
00:53:53.521 --> 00:53:54.606
You hear me?
00:53:55.065 --> 00:53:56.983
(Paula)
Yes, J.P. I hear you!
00:53:56.983 --> 00:53:58.652
Then we'll get dressed and um,
00:54:01.238 --> 00:54:03.406
go take some donuts to grandpa.
00:54:09.037 --> 00:54:11.006
I'm gonna go to the cemetery.
It won't take me too long.
00:54:11.006 --> 00:54:11.957
I just wanna go up and
00:54:11.957 --> 00:54:13.333
put them flowers up there and,
00:54:13.625 --> 00:54:14.630
um,
00:54:14.751 --> 00:54:15.835
say hi.
00:54:17.504 --> 00:54:19.839
Whatever you say, chief.
00:54:20.215 --> 00:54:21.633
You, you,
00:54:23.218 --> 00:54:25.971
you got everything under
control on your side.
00:54:25.971 --> 00:54:27.555
Well ten minutes ago I was
00:54:28.139 --> 00:54:29.140
a low life.
00:54:29.140 --> 00:54:30.767
You’re still a prick. Yeah.
00:54:30.767 --> 00:54:31.893
And using you.
00:54:32.018 --> 00:54:33.645
Yeah, you’re still a prick.
00:54:36.690 --> 00:54:39.109
You use me. You keep using me.
00:54:39.567 --> 00:54:40.902
I'm not tryin’ to.
00:54:41.653 --> 00:54:44.155
I’ve got all this woodwork to paint.
00:54:44.447 --> 00:54:46.408
Got all that trimmin’ to do.
00:54:46.408 --> 00:54:47.742
You can't do that trimmin’.
00:54:47.861 --> 00:54:48.868
Yeah I will.
00:54:48.868 --> 00:54:49.869
No.
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:51.204
Watch me.
00:54:51.204 --> 00:54:52.539
Don't Grandpa, let me do it.
00:54:52.539 --> 00:54:54.165
You can't climb up there man.
00:54:54.791 --> 00:54:56.793
Don't climb, please
don't climb up there.
00:54:57.085 --> 00:54:58.044
I'm beggin’ you.
00:54:58.044 --> 00:55:00.880
I'll come straight back here
and do the top.
00:55:01.499 --> 00:55:02.507
You hear me?
00:55:02.507 --> 00:55:05.176
Please don't climb up there,
Grandpa, with nobody here.
00:55:06.303 --> 00:55:08.054
Gimme 45 minutes, I'll be back.
00:55:09.556 --> 00:55:10.557
I love you.
00:55:11.558 --> 00:55:12.767
You hear me?
00:55:13.310 --> 00:55:14.311
I love you.
00:55:14.477 --> 00:55:15.186
Okay.
00:55:15.186 --> 00:55:17.605
Tell me what you used to tell me.
I don't love nobody.
00:55:18.148 --> 00:55:19.524
You don’t.
00:55:19.524 --> 00:55:21.526
You love yourself.
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:23.653
No.
00:55:23.653 --> 00:55:25.822
You hate me. You hate your grandma.
00:55:25.822 --> 00:55:26.990
You're crazy.
00:55:28.575 --> 00:55:30.118
You really believe that in your heart?
00:55:30.118 --> 00:55:31.286
Oh yeah.
00:55:31.870 --> 00:55:34.080
Yeah, I’m as serious as a heart attack.
00:55:34.456 --> 00:55:35.463
Yeah.
00:55:36.291 --> 00:55:37.500
You're wrong, Grandpa.
00:55:37.834 --> 00:55:38.918
You're wrong, buddy.
00:55:40.086 --> 00:55:41.296
He's silly.
00:56:22.337 --> 00:56:23.963
It is definitely a change though.
00:56:24.756 --> 00:56:25.840
Going from
00:56:26.174 --> 00:56:27.926
livin’ with Grandma and them
00:56:27.926 --> 00:56:28.927
to,
00:56:29.177 --> 00:56:30.678
you know what I mean,
havin’ your own place.
00:56:31.999 --> 00:56:35.350
It feels a lot better though
when you're doin’ good
00:56:35.350 --> 00:56:36.684
but when you're doin’ bad and
00:56:37.852 --> 00:56:40.188
not payin’ your bills,
you know what I mean?
00:56:41.523 --> 00:56:43.024
It's a struggle. I don't have any,
00:56:43.024 --> 00:56:44.984
I mean it's hard, a lot
harder livin’ down here
00:56:44.984 --> 00:56:46.194
'cause we don't have
a ride nowhere hardly.
00:56:46.194 --> 00:56:47.109
You know what I mean?
00:56:47.112 --> 00:56:49.155
It's a struggle to get a ride.
00:57:32.073 --> 00:57:34.909
You did not wanna live at
Grandma's no more, did ya?
00:57:39.706 --> 00:57:42.333
You wanna wait until after dinner
to do our dose, baby?
00:58:42.936 --> 00:58:44.103
We got fire!
00:58:45.688 --> 00:58:46.981
- You drop outta school?
00:58:46.981 --> 00:58:47.857
- You drop outta school?
- No, I graduated.
00:58:47.857 --> 00:58:49.859
Oh that's right, you said
you’re going to college.
00:58:50.527 --> 00:58:51.694
I’m gonna...
00:58:52.278 --> 00:58:53.279
um,
00:58:54.656 --> 00:58:56.491
She's trying to get
back to her school.
00:58:57.367 --> 00:58:58.576
It’s hard.
00:58:59.118 --> 00:59:00.703
I know it's hard, but
00:59:00.954 --> 00:59:02.872
you got me to talk to your problems.
00:59:04.249 --> 00:59:05.708
Can't you just do it online?
00:59:06.084 --> 00:59:07.460
You can do it online.
00:59:07.460 --> 00:59:10.213
But I'd rather be in public.
00:59:10.213 --> 00:59:12.131
But public school is
more better than online
00:59:12.131 --> 00:59:13.341
because they can actually
00:59:13.341 --> 00:59:15.927
teach you instead of
being on the computer.
00:59:19.681 --> 00:59:21.182
The reason I wanted to
graduate is 'cause
00:59:21.182 --> 00:59:23.184
my parents and everybody
said that I wouldn't make it.
00:59:23.351 --> 00:59:25.186
I wouldn't do it. I'd be a dropout.
00:59:25.895 --> 00:59:27.897
So I used everybody's that
00:59:28.356 --> 00:59:30.108
proves, tells me that I won't do it.
00:59:30.483 --> 00:59:31.192
- Proving ‘em wrong?
00:59:31.192 --> 00:59:32.902
- Proving ‘em wrong?
- I use that as the
00:59:32.902 --> 00:59:35.238
self-esteem to push myself to do it.
00:59:36.090 --> 00:59:39.367
Oh, I just do whatever I feel like.
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:52.922
Hey, hey. Let her up.
00:59:53.673 --> 00:59:55.008
I gotta give her a weapon.
00:59:56.259 --> 00:59:57.677
- Get up, Shyla.
- Yeah, Curtis.
00:59:57.677 --> 00:59:58.886
You're her coach.
00:59:58.886 --> 01:00:01.306
All right. I'm gonna put it into
your back since it's a sharp,
01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:03.057
like, fake weapon.
01:00:05.893 --> 01:00:07.312
It's pretty cold out–
01:00:07.478 --> 01:00:08.730
hot out today.
01:00:10.398 --> 01:00:11.941
It's ice!
01:00:21.784 --> 01:00:22.994
Did you put ice?
01:00:22.994 --> 01:00:24.245
In my pants!
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:26.914
Put it,
01:00:26.914 --> 01:00:28.124
put it in her shirt.
01:00:28.833 --> 01:00:30.251
It’s still in her shirt.
01:00:30.668 --> 01:00:32.670
(Euva)
Guys, go outside please.
01:00:35.965 --> 01:00:38.176
I will, Mom. I will go outside.
01:01:06.954 --> 01:01:08.164
You didn't get it out yet?
01:01:10.500 --> 01:01:12.210
No, it ain’t. It's right here.
01:01:15.338 --> 01:01:16.255
It's right here.
01:01:16.547 --> 01:01:17.006
- It'll go all the way down if you want it to.
01:01:17.006 --> 01:01:19.175
- It'll go all the way down if you want it to.
- Curtis, I’m not stupid.
01:01:53.668 --> 01:01:55.253
I’m not scared of you!
01:02:11.853 --> 01:02:14.063
Quit spraying me
with that stupid thing.
01:03:49.909 --> 01:03:51.327
No.
01:03:52.245 --> 01:03:53.579
(Preacher)
Listen!
01:03:53.579 --> 01:03:57.166
(Preacher) We're looking for the cause
of all the things that are going on,
01:03:57.166 --> 01:03:59.669
(Preacher)
all the cancers and all the things.
01:03:59.669 --> 01:04:02.630
We live in a corrupt world.
01:04:03.047 --> 01:04:04.882
It's been corrupted by sin.
01:04:05.091 --> 01:04:07.802
It's been corrupted and,
and it's under the curse.
01:04:08.386 --> 01:04:11.639
But not only is man looking
for the redemption,
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:14.475
but the earth is waiting
on the redemption.
01:04:15.643 --> 01:04:18.771
This earth will be purged
from the curse of sin.
01:04:19.001 --> 01:04:19.981
He says, “For we know”
01:04:19.981 --> 01:04:21.649
–in verse 22, Romans 8:22–
01:04:21.649 --> 01:04:24.068
“For we know that the
whole creation groaneth
01:04:24.402 --> 01:04:27.196
and travaileth in pain
together until now.”
01:04:28.114 --> 01:04:31.576
(Preacher) He's about to finish
the job that He started.
01:04:34.871 --> 01:04:37.498
(J.P.) I joke about it
sometimes and I tell Paula,
01:04:38.249 --> 01:04:40.251
at least if I die now
I’ll have a funeral,
01:04:40.251 --> 01:04:42.253
my grandparents will bury me.
01:04:45.506 --> 01:04:47.675
If I die here in a couple
years after they pass,
01:04:49.218 --> 01:04:51.971
I'll probably just get thrown
in the river or somethin’.
01:05:00.354 --> 01:05:03.816
I would love nothing more than to
make my grandparents proud.
01:05:05.443 --> 01:05:06.694
Thank you, sweetheart.
01:05:29.842 --> 01:05:32.428
Don't run from me because
you're just so beautiful.
01:05:32.428 --> 01:05:34.430
You don't even want to
run from me, right?
01:05:35.348 --> 01:05:37.683
I cannot believe that
you are so cute.
01:05:37.683 --> 01:05:39.185
You’re just like, my favorite.
01:05:48.861 --> 01:05:50.655
You don't know how to make nothing.
01:05:51.197 --> 01:05:52.657
Man, you are a kid
01:05:52.657 --> 01:05:54.992
you don't even know how
to make mac and cheese.
01:05:56.535 --> 01:05:58.079
Stop being a butthead.
01:05:58.412 --> 01:05:59.914
Then stop acting like
you know everything
01:06:00.247 --> 01:06:02.249
'cause I know everything. Not you.
01:06:09.131 --> 01:06:11.676
One, two,
01:06:11.676 --> 01:06:15.805
three, four, five,
01:06:15.805 --> 01:06:19.308
six, seven, eight,
01:06:19.308 --> 01:06:22.853
nine, ten, eleven.
01:06:34.407 --> 01:06:35.783
I guess it's like,
01:06:35.783 --> 01:06:38.536
I got expelled from school because of
01:06:38.828 --> 01:06:39.829
a knife
01:06:40.246 --> 01:06:42.832
that they said that I
brought to the game,
01:06:42.832 --> 01:06:46.002
and I never had a knife whenever
they found me or before then
01:06:46.585 --> 01:06:48.504
with any proof. So I don’t,
01:06:48.504 --> 01:06:49.505
I don't know.
01:06:50.172 --> 01:06:51.799
I don't know what
they’re talkin’ about.
01:06:53.092 --> 01:06:55.928
I got in trouble simply
because I was there.
01:06:56.971 --> 01:06:59.015
I got in trouble 'cause of my name.
01:07:02.768 --> 01:07:04.770
Yeah, I mean,
01:07:04.770 --> 01:07:07.606
I don't want to get
expelled, obviously, but like
01:07:07.606 --> 01:07:08.691
it's too late for that.
01:07:09.567 --> 01:07:11.068
I don't want to get
01:07:11.819 --> 01:07:12.862
failed,
01:07:12.862 --> 01:07:15.740
but it's probably too late for that.
01:07:20.161 --> 01:07:22.079
I wish I remember when
my court date was.
01:07:22.079 --> 01:07:23.956
That's good, I need to know that.
01:07:29.628 --> 01:07:30.629
Three,
01:07:31.672 --> 01:07:32.672
four,
01:07:33.674 --> 01:07:34.675
five.
01:07:35.009 --> 01:07:37.553
Mom look, three, four, five.
01:07:37.553 --> 01:07:38.637
Mm-hmm.
01:07:39.513 --> 01:07:41.515
Now I'm on...
01:07:41.515 --> 01:07:42.683
months.
01:07:43.017 --> 01:07:44.101
Mm-hmm.
01:07:45.269 --> 01:07:46.562
Are you done with homework?
01:07:46.562 --> 01:07:47.521
Um, yes.
01:07:47.521 --> 01:07:49.815
I just have to see this box.
01:07:51.025 --> 01:07:52.318
Good job.
01:08:15.508 --> 01:08:17.134
(Cheryl)
Hello?
01:08:19.470 --> 01:08:21.889
(Responder) Meigs County 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?
01:08:22.348 --> 01:08:24.642
(Cheryl)
Uh, my nephew…
01:08:25.601 --> 01:08:27.061
(Cheryl)
My mom next door,
01:08:27.061 --> 01:08:28.187
(Cheryl)
she needs help.
01:08:28.187 --> 01:08:30.397
(Cheryl)
She thinks he died.
01:08:30.397 --> 01:08:32.399
(Responder)
Okay. Ho- Hold on.
01:08:33.484 --> 01:08:34.985
(Responder)
What’s your name?
01:08:34.985 --> 01:08:37.238
(Cheryl)
My name’s Cheryl Stumbo.
01:08:37.696 --> 01:08:39.990
(Cheryl)
Oh God.
01:08:41.784 --> 01:08:43.452
(Cheryl)
Please hurry up.
01:08:43.994 --> 01:08:45.538
(Cheryl)
Come on!
01:08:45.913 --> 01:08:48.541
(Responder) Does he have any
health issues that you know of?
01:08:48.541 --> 01:08:50.292
(Cheryl)
They think he overdosed.
01:08:50.292 --> 01:08:52.920
(Responder)
Possibly overdosed. Okay.
01:08:54.296 --> 01:08:57.258
(Responder) Hold on just a second.
I'm gonna update my squads, okay?
01:08:57.258 --> 01:08:58.717
(Cheryl)
Okay.
01:09:03.848 --> 01:09:05.850
(Cheryl)
Oh, my God.
01:11:07.763 --> 01:11:10.057
(Donald)
I miss him. I really do.
01:11:12.935 --> 01:11:14.144
(Donald)
I went up to the hospital
01:11:14.144 --> 01:11:15.980
and he was just layin’ on the table
01:11:15.980 --> 01:11:17.648
and he wasn't this wide.
01:11:17.648 --> 01:11:19.066
You know, big J.P. used to be?
01:11:19.066 --> 01:11:21.068
He wasn't 160 pounds.
01:11:22.820 --> 01:11:24.071
I couldn't believe it.
01:11:24.071 --> 01:11:26.073
I grabbed him and kissed him.
01:11:27.574 --> 01:11:28.534
I come back,
01:11:28.534 --> 01:11:30.536
Grandpa's sittin’ at
the table like this.
01:11:31.120 --> 01:11:33.122
He's cryin’. I've never
seen my grandpa–
01:11:33.122 --> 01:11:35.165
I seen him cry one time
talkin’ about war stories.
01:11:36.375 --> 01:11:39.044
He said, “Well,” he said,
“My buddy's gone.”
01:11:43.549 --> 01:11:46.719
J.P. died in January.
Grandma died in June.
01:11:46.719 --> 01:11:49.138
Then Grandpa just died.
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:11.201
J.P. was a great nephew
01:12:12.953 --> 01:12:14.204
I loved the boy.
01:12:17.124 --> 01:12:19.251
He just went downhill.
01:12:56.246 --> 01:12:57.998
I love him so much.
01:12:57.998 --> 01:12:59.625
My buddy.
01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:02.169
You’re my buddy boy, ain’t ya baby.
01:13:04.296 --> 01:13:05.923
Talk to your daughter here, Euva.
01:13:07.383 --> 01:13:08.717
(Euva)
About what?
01:13:08.717 --> 01:13:10.552
About not havin’ no more kids.
01:13:12.471 --> 01:13:14.181
Have to take you and have you fixed.
01:13:14.341 --> 01:13:15.224
No.
01:13:15.224 --> 01:13:16.225
Yeah.
01:13:16.767 --> 01:13:17.935
I want to.
01:13:19.144 --> 01:13:21.897
I love you baby boy. Love you so much.
01:13:49.550 --> 01:13:51.135
I will come up and see you.
01:13:51.135 --> 01:13:52.302
Yeah, when?
01:13:52.302 --> 01:13:53.011
- Um. When summer gets here.
01:13:53.011 --> 01:13:54.471
- Um. When summer gets here.
- If you get that hair out of your face buddy
01:13:54.471 --> 01:13:56.306
your face wouldn’t
break out like that, I’m tellin’ you.
01:13:56.306 --> 01:13:57.015
But look, it's also my–
01:13:57.015 --> 01:13:58.100
- If you get your hair away from there.
01:13:58.100 --> 01:14:01.270
- If you get your hair away from there.
- But if I also would have like, a shaved face
01:14:01.270 --> 01:14:03.105
Well then you how to use a razor?
01:14:03.105 --> 01:14:03.564
- I do, but...
01:14:03.564 --> 01:14:04.606
- I do, but...
- Well, there you go.
01:14:04.606 --> 01:14:08.777
(Euva) I just now realized he had
his damn ear pierced yesterday.
01:14:08.777 --> 01:14:09.528
- You knew didn't you?
01:14:09.528 --> 01:14:10.988
- You knew didn't you?
- No, I didn’t know!
01:14:10.988 --> 01:14:12.531
Curtis, I swear to God buddy.
01:14:12.531 --> 01:14:14.074
That's the right ear.
You know what that means?
01:14:14.074 --> 01:14:14.950
What?
01:14:14.950 --> 01:14:15.701
No it doesn't.
01:14:15.701 --> 01:14:16.201
- It does too!
01:14:16.201 --> 01:14:17.369
- It does too!
- I don't care what you say.
01:14:17.369 --> 01:14:19.913
I know you don't, but you shouldn’t
got the right ear pierced.
01:14:19.913 --> 01:14:20.873
I don't care.
01:14:20.873 --> 01:14:22.166
- Show me in the Bible. 'Cause–
01:14:22.166 --> 01:14:24.918
- Show me in the Bible. 'Cause–
- It ain't in the Bible, Curtis. Come on now!
01:14:33.135 --> 01:14:35.387
She don't smoke too much.
She really don't.
01:14:35.387 --> 01:14:37.347
She'll smoke it every now and again
01:14:37.347 --> 01:14:39.766
or she'll just hit it once or twice.
You know what I mean?
01:14:39.766 --> 01:14:41.852
I think we should get Grandma edibles.
01:14:41.852 --> 01:14:42.728
- Where? With us?
01:14:42.728 --> 01:14:43.437
- Where? With us?
- Uh-huh.
01:14:43.437 --> 01:14:45.063
Shit. Yeah.
01:14:45.522 --> 01:14:46.857
It don't ever help though.
01:14:46.857 --> 01:14:48.525
Just like smokin’ weed. It don't help.
01:14:49.026 --> 01:14:50.027
Just masks it.
01:14:50.027 --> 01:14:51.695
That problem’s just right there.
When you’re...
01:14:51.695 --> 01:14:53.071
You know what I mean?
01:14:53.614 --> 01:14:56.492
That's why I deal with my
problems whenever I am high.
01:14:56.909 --> 01:14:59.828
Whenever I'm sober I don't
really think about 'em.
01:15:02.623 --> 01:15:05.375
I like to deal with it
when I can instead of
01:15:05.375 --> 01:15:07.001
- dealing with it whenever it's
actually going to affect me.
01:15:07.003 --> 01:15:08.795
- So you'd rather deal with it
when you're high then?
01:15:08.795 --> 01:15:10.964
Yeah, I like to deal with it
whenever I'm able to.
01:15:10.964 --> 01:15:12.925
Whenever I'm high it's like,
even if it's bad–
01:15:12.925 --> 01:15:13.884
It’s never gonna help you.
01:15:13.884 --> 01:15:17.095
If that's the case,
you better quit smoking then.
01:15:57.761 --> 01:15:59.638
Don't get my ear.
01:15:59.699 --> 01:16:00.556
What?
01:16:00.556 --> 01:16:01.640
My ear and my face!
01:16:11.149 --> 01:16:12.985
I gotta graduate.
01:16:13.902 --> 01:16:16.488
Told my grandpa I would. Promised him.
01:16:17.531 --> 01:16:19.199
He asked me if I was gonna
graduate high school.
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:20.450
I told him no.
01:16:20.450 --> 01:16:21.868
He’s like, “Yeah you are.” I was like
01:16:21.868 --> 01:16:23.036
“All right, fine I guess I am.”
01:16:23.036 --> 01:16:25.956
He’s like, “You are.
You promise me you will?”
01:16:25.956 --> 01:16:28.584
And I said, “Yeah Grandpa. I promise.”
01:17:00.657 --> 01:17:03.285
I wanna put “Happy Birthday Curtis.”
01:17:03.285 --> 01:17:04.953
“Happy 18th Birthday.”
01:17:05.329 --> 01:17:07.289
Everything look all right there?
01:17:07.289 --> 01:17:08.165
Sure does.
01:17:08.165 --> 01:17:10.709
All right. I'll bring it back out
the door here in just a moment.
01:17:10.709 --> 01:17:11.793
All righty.
01:17:12.127 --> 01:17:14.046
(singing)
“Happy Birthday to you.”
01:17:14.046 --> 01:17:16.381
You didn't even light the candles.
01:17:17.633 --> 01:17:18.957
- Blew them out first try.
You saw that?
01:17:18.959 --> 01:17:19.968
- Yeah, you got ‘em all out.
01:17:19.968 --> 01:17:21.887
Your wish’ll come true.
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:26.892
Living is different everywhere.
01:17:28.226 --> 01:17:30.479
We might be doin’ some
stuff that you think's crazy.
01:17:30.562 --> 01:17:33.190
You might be doin’ some
stuff that we think is crazy.
01:17:34.316 --> 01:17:36.943
Our standards sometimes
aren't set by ourselves,
01:17:37.069 --> 01:17:39.863
sometimes they are set
by the world we live in,
01:17:39.863 --> 01:17:43.283
the economy that we have,
the money that we can make.
01:17:44.701 --> 01:17:46.286
Ohhh!
01:17:47.204 --> 01:17:48.413
Curtis, look at me though.
01:17:48.413 --> 01:17:49.414
I can't.
01:17:51.541 --> 01:17:54.169
It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
01:18:00.217 --> 01:18:02.844
Your brain is just so focused on it,
01:18:05.347 --> 01:18:08.183
and like, try telling your
brain not to do something,
01:18:08.183 --> 01:18:10.394
like, don't think of a cow.
01:18:11.395 --> 01:18:12.604
It doesn't work.
01:18:13.980 --> 01:18:16.191
I'm gonna be different
'cause I am different.
01:18:16.191 --> 01:18:18.151
I'm nothing like any of
my family members.
01:18:18.151 --> 01:18:20.070
I've taken their things from
their personality that
01:18:20.070 --> 01:18:21.405
I find that is good.
01:18:21.405 --> 01:18:22.781
You ass!
01:18:24.825 --> 01:18:27.536
It's selfish for me to try to say that
01:18:27.536 --> 01:18:29.371
they're bad people.
01:18:31.665 --> 01:18:35.669
They were just a person
just like me at one point.
01:18:39.005 --> 01:18:40.674
The life that they've lived
is probably what
01:18:40.674 --> 01:18:42.968
what made them make the
choices that they did.
01:19:04.906 --> 01:19:05.909
There’s hope.
01:19:06.658 --> 01:19:08.660
There’s hope for any of them, I think.
01:19:15.292 --> 01:19:18.462
Never thought I’d live
to be a great grandma.
01:19:23.175 --> 01:19:25.177
He’s a baby doll.
01:19:27.888 --> 01:19:30.140
I just hope to God
he lives a healthy life.
01:19:33.435 --> 01:19:34.811
I hope he does.
