"Pastor Bennett:" "What is the nature of forgiveness?" "What's the disposition of mercy?" "It has no weight." "It's not coarse, but fine." "It's as precious as it is limitless." "Daily, for transgressions large and small, we must ask and we must give pardon." "Our hearts cannot be sealed, and our empathy cannot be limited." "True forgiveness is a phenomenal act, but one we each have the capacity to perform." "For if we as a people cannot forgive, then we as a people are cursed to hate."

"If you want to deliv..." "Barb:" "This is Barb." "I can't come to the phone." "Leave a message." "Barb, I really, really need to talk to you about what's going on." "They called to tell me that they're actually letting that man off." "But they're not explaining anything to me, and..." "Well," "They talk to you, Barb." "And you damn sure know how to handle them." "And so I'm asking you to please not give up on this." "This is important, Barb." "Please call me back." "Aliyah:" "Bitch." "Filthy bitch." "Filthy black bitch." "You damn filthy black bitch." "What else did they say about me?" "Hm?" " Basilah:" "Terrorist?" " Oh!" "I got that at the airport." "Mm." "I heard things I cannot repeat in a place of worship." "What they said, and the arrogance they had when they would say it..." "The entitlement." "They think that they are..." "You know what?" "It's all right." "They can talk how they talk." "Yeah." "Mmhmm." "They're not talking that loudly anymore, are they?" "Lies come back on the liars." "Deceptions come back on the deceivers." "Good comes to the righteous." "My brother is a good man."

"Nobody tells me anything." "Nobody says anything." "They didn't just let me out." "What are you not telling me?" "Your girlfriend confessed to the crime." "Why would she do that?" "They let me go just because she said she did it?" "She didn't just say she did it." "She offered up evidence only the killer would know." "And she claimed to be the only one there when it happened." "Lies come back on the liars." "Deceptions come back on..." "What up, boy?" "How was juvie?" "What'd you say?" "Yeah, i seen your little video." "Think you a badass?" "Oh, you think you a little badass, huh?" "Come on, man." "Let me see what kind of badass you are." "Hegera:" "Words were exchanged." "The confrontation between the two students continued to escalate, at which point one of our teachers..." "What did my son do?" "It wasn't what he did..." "Did Tony hit this other kid?" "Did he attack him?" "Tony didn't do anything." "So you're calling me in from my job to tell me that my son didn't do anything?" "Considering your son's past history..." "I'm talking about right now." "Or every time I hear from you, it's gonna be about this "past history" bull..." "Tony, let's go." "Aubrey:" "You came." "Yeah." "Your sister did it." "She got you off." "I hope you learn to appreciate her, everything she's done for you." "Why'd you confess?" "Why do you think?" "I'm not gonna let them kill you." "So I got to live to watch you die?" "They're not gonna kill me." "I'm mental." "Haven't you heard of all the horrible things my family's done to me?" "They're not gonna let you out." "You do have problems." "I don't think they're ever gonna let you out." "Even if they give me 15 years, I wouldn't be that old." "We'd have a lot of time to be together." "Somewhere warm." "On a beach." "Like in the magazine ad." "The one you tore up." "You make it sound so real." "It is." "It's what I always loved about you." "You could take dreams and make them feel so real." "When I was a kid, I was kind of a loser." "I wasn't cool enough for the other black kids." "Too black to hang around the white kids." "Never got dates." "Never." "So I made myself up a girlfriend." "And Elaine became..." "Elaine?" "First she was just some bull..." "in my head, you know?" "Mm-hmm." "Somebody who answered whenever I'd talk to myself." "But she got more and more real." "Really specific..." "How she looked, the kind of stuff she was into." "She read Chandler and loved Hendrix." "And her favorite sport was sleeping." "She was as perfect as a girl was ever going to get..." "Right up until I saw you working a beer at the end of a bar." "You and me are beautiful." "The drugs made us beautiful." " We beat them." " The liquor made us feel good." "All of them..." "The racists and the haters." "We are beautiful." "A-and we deserve to live like that." "It's not real!" "You can't be the girl in my head, and I can't be the guy you're walking on a beach with in a magazine ad." "So you're just gonna run off and find yourself another girl?" "Never." "Never." "I think the only other girl I could ever be with is Elaine." "You know what?" "... that." "Your little pretend girlfriend when I'm here trying to give myself to you." "You think people got to pay for their sins?" "We're not done." "You know that." "Part of me being here, part of me getting healthy is they think I need to have contact with the outside world." "So... you can call here and they'll put you through to me." "I'm not calling." "Yes, you will." "You're going to call." "You're going to come back to me." "Jensen:" "No touching." "And we are going to be phenomenal." "I said no touching!" "Alonzo:" "Come here, mijo." "I want to show you this." "Where is it?" "Outside San Jose." "It needs work." "It needs a lot of work." "And a lot of money." "We'd have to put our savings into it..." "And sell the house." "We'd live in an apartment for a while, just until business picked up." "But it will pick up." "San Jose, man, that city's growing." "You plan on driving to San Jose every day?" "We'd get an apartment there." "You want to move?" "I want us to get a fresh start." "You want to move." "The job I have now, working for other people, it's killing me." "And I can't keep taking you out of school for something that's not your fault." "But everything just got fixed." "It didn't get fixed." "It's not gonna get fixed." "The people here are always gonna be thinking about us different now." "Always." "I can't have you guys living like..." "You can't?" "You can't." "Can... can we at least just talk about it?" "I'm not putting us through this anymore." "It's a good place." "For all of us." "It's got three bays." "It needs some paint." "Plenty of parking." " Where have you been?" " I've been here." " I-I've been calling and calling and c-can I c..." " Yeah." "Just..." "I meant I'm trying to get you engaged in this thing." "I don't care." "I saw that son-of-a-bitch prosecutor, and y-you better believe I told him what the hell I thought." "I don't care, Russ." "You don't care about what happened to Matt?" "Nothing changes." "Matt's still gone." "We're losing Mark." "What?" "N... but, no, it doesn't have to be like that." "I mean, that's the thing." "There's an... there's an answer." "I mean, what happened here was horrible, but something can still come out of this." "We can start putting our lives back together." "I want you to stay in Modesto." "Why would I stay?" "You and me, we've never been closer." "That's the truth." "We can be here with..." "With Mark and Richelle." "Mark and Richelle are going back to Germany." " They don't want anything to do with us." " Oh, Mark." "You know, I mean, he's just... he's..." " He's going through a..." " No, it's not a stage." "We got it wrong with him." "Mark wanted to help Gwen." "That, he would do." "So, they..." "They can stay in the house." " Russ..." " And you should see it." "Barb, it's beautiful." "I mean, I really just put everything..." "Matt was killed there." "Well, you can't tell." "I mean, it's new floors, new paint." "I mean, it's a real home." "Gwen is going back to Oakland with Tom and Eve." "They're selling the house." "Well, no, they can't do that." "I'm going back to Simi Valley." "Mark and Richelle are going to Germany." "The only thing that was keeping us here was something brutal." "It's behind us, and we're scattering." "We need to." "We need to be away from each other." "You need to be away from Mark?" "You... you believe that?" " It's how it is." " "It's how it -"" " I accept it." " Whwhat is that?" "You don't have to accept it." "Y-you... we can... we can be however we want to be." "Uh, I mean, I'm not kidding myself that it's gonna be easy or perfect, and I know the past isn't just done." "But we've... we've got to fight for this family." "Let go." "No, but, uh, we need to be together." "I mean, I just..." "I feel that..." "Whatever you think is back there, stop trying to hold onto it." "Well, this isn't about the past." "I'm not trying to make up for anything or re-live anything." "I've been sitting in his room." "It's empty and it's lonely and it hurts." " But... this is..." " Don't be lonely." "It's the truth, Russ." "No." "No." "No." "No." "Don't be lonely, Barb." "Don't be."
