l defended this damn country

so you can have this job,

and you gonna come in here

with this bullshit.

Come in here about some damn kids.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Get the f*** out of here!

Hey, come here.

Diaz, can you call me back about

the Wallace house, please, right away?

lt's not her that's hurting them kids. lt's him.

l babysit them. l know.

l can hear everything through this wall.

That's why l called you.

-You called?

-Yes.

She can't protect them from him.

Ever since he came back from the war

he's been crazy,

and he drinks like a fish.

"Came home crazy as hell

"Went to Veterans Affairs

To try to go to school

"But they kept right on

Putting him in remedial classes

"He couldn't read worth a damn

"So Beau accused the teachers

Of trying to hold him back

"Went and got himself a gypsy cab to drive

But the cab kept breaking down

"Cops was always messing with him

"And then Crystal went

And got pregnant again

"He most beat her to death

When she told him

"She still got a scar under her right tit

Where he cut her up"

Do her a favor, take them kids.

-Thank you, ma'am.

-Yes, yes.

-What? What?

-l need money.

-For what?

-Things.

l gave you money on the first.

-l still need some things.

-For what?

Do you know how hard it is to come up here

to have to ask you for anything?

-Then stop doing it.

-l wouldn't if l didn't have to.

What do you need money for?

Granddaddy put me in charge

of his little will

'cause he knew you would give all of it

to that cult.

lt is not a cult.

You would know that if you spent any time

down at the Temple of Elnohim.

What is it that you don't understand?

l'm not giving you any money.

You are gonna rot in hell!

So, if l give you money,

l'm blessed of Elnohim,

and if l don't, l'm gonna burn in hell, that it?

l'm praying that you see God

through the mists of the distances

that Satan has put in your heart.

Goodbye, Alice.

He has deceived you. He has deceived you!

Lured you with deception!

Repent! Repent!

Praise Elnohim.

-Praise Elnohim.

-This one in particular, her name is Nyla.

And l really think that she...

God bless you.

God bless you. God bless you.

The golden kingdom awaits you.

You just bought your way out of hell

for a dollar.

l guess l did.

Yeah, so go ahead,

you were talking about the girls.

lt's so great. You should meet some of them.

They have so much hope.

And they're getting that from dance.

l love how your face lights up

when you talk about them.

Yeah, l know, they excite me.

You know, most of my girls graduate

from high school and go on to college.

-That's amazing.

-lt is.

What?

No. lt's just that every day since l met you
