Danny?

Wake up, partner.

Man, you better wake up.

Sleep your life away.

Wake up, bitch!

Kerwin?

Changed their minds, I guess.

What?

Ain't that some shit.

Where my stuff, man?

Um, they...

Well, they took it right after you...

...You left.

That's cold.

Where is everybody?

I'm not sure.

They didn't even lock my door.

How'd you get back here, buddy?

Just came back.

Where else was I supposed to go?

Kerwin?

When I did that drive-by, you know...

Yeah.

Shot up that dude, carl, with that 9-mil 'cause...

I can't even remember now exactly why I did it.

Ain't that some shit?

Anyway...

I never saw that little girl in there.

One of them little car seats.

Down low.

Never even saw her, dude.

Got that feeling... That's where I'm going next.

Where's that?

To see her.

Face her, I guess.

Not looking forward to it, I can tell you that.

What do you say to a little girl who you...

What do you say?

Maybe you just let her know

Who you -- who you are now, kerwin, who you've become.

That's the thing, dude.

It's getting hard to remember who I am.

More vague by the minute.

You're a beautiful person, kerwin.

That's all you have to remember.

I like that.

thanks, partner.

Sure.

Let's -- let's skip the goodbyes on this one.

Okay.

Seriously, though, man, you better wake up.

Why?

Why? What does it matter?

It matters 'cause you got a chance to live, danny.

So I'm living.

You look at life like it's a burden.

Life is a gift, man. It's a gift.

You better take that with you, too.

Take it where, kerwin?

Take it where?

They finally did it.

Amantha.

Look at him, mom. He might as well be dead.

I mean it.

The doctors had to put him in a coma

Just to keep his brain --

Amantha, stop.

I'm getting a gun.

I swear to god. Just kill them all.

Who would you start with?

Oh, I don't know.

Probably judy dean, the bitch.

What the hell? Daniel. Nurse!

Nurse! Hang on! Nurse!

nurse!

Oh, my god. He's waking up.

Amantha: Well, we all agree he's waking up!

How? I don't know.

You got to be kidding me!

It's okay, sir. You're in the hospital.

We're gonna give you something to help you sleep.

Nurse miley.

Got it.

You don't have to fight. You don't have to fight anymore!

Ma'am, please. Please what? Let him rip his tubes out?

Let us do our job, ma'am.

It's okay.

It's okay, daniel.

It's okay, sweetheart. Just try and relax.

I'm sorry, danny.

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

We'll be here, honey.

We'll be here when you come back.

Hey, you know why emts are so fat?

I don't know, lid. Why?

Because they wait around all day

And then they drive everywhere.

In this case, they drove

All over the suspect's tire tracks.

And they parked 20 feet away and walked to the crime scene.

Lucky for you, though, huh?

How's that?

Need me to tell you?

So, what did the witness say?

Saw a blue truck drive out the back exit of the cemetery.

She I.D. Anybody?

Nah. Said the truck was too far away.

Uh, something a little odd, though.

She said if she had to guess who the men were,

She'd say they were black.

Well, she said african-american.

Yeah. I know.

Keep a guy here for the night.

The weather holds, we'll be able to see better in the morning.

Hey, you moving on or something?

What?

You know, different line of work?

'cause if you catch these guys, let alone convict them,

Your re-election chances... Are toast.

Got to do my job, lid.

What job is that, carl?

Putting guys in jail for beating the hell out of a man

Who should already be dead?

Can you believe that?

They didn't even know how much medication to use

To keep him in a friggin' coma.

I'm gonna get some coffee and then I'll spell ted.

Isn't that, like, brain doctoring 101?

Speaking of which, the doctor doesn't even show up

Until 30 minutes after daniel's back down under.

Unbelievable!

Mama, why don't you go home with ted? I'll stay the night.

No. He's my son, and I'm not leaving him, not tonight.

You go home. Mama.

I'm not leaving him, amantha.

They don't have anybody guarding the door, daggett maggot.

Nobody's gonna come to atlanta. Promise?

Our only hope is they're too stupid to access google maps.

Hi.

How is he?

Good. Thanks for asking.

Is there anything I can do?

Wouldn't be a brain surgeon, by chance?

Where's teddy?

Um, he didn't want to upset anyone by coming,

So he thought it might be better if he stayed home tonight.

If teddy wants to be here, he should be here.

Right, amantha?

Seriously doubt he wants to be here.

But of course, mother.

You mean well, don't you?

I do mean well, janet.

I have to go relieve ted.

May I, um...

Yes?

May I see daniel for a few minutes?

I'd like to be alone with him.

Of course.

But in a little while, yes.

Thank you.

At least he's been washed in the blood,

Literally and figuratively now.

So, worst-case scenario,

He goes straight to heaven, right?

That is what I believe, yes.

And he can spend eternity listening to --

Oh, I don't know -- country music with a gospel twist?

I'm sure show tunes are out.

I don't know about music.

I'm just...

...So sorry.

Sorry for what, tawney?

I'm just sorry

For everything that's happened to him.

I'm so, so sorry.

Well...We all are.

Sorry.

Thank you.

I just don't understand

Why god would let something like this happen to him.

I mean, to anyone, but... Especially to him.

He suffered so much already.

I mean, I know it's always a question, but...

It's always the question.

It's one of the big ones.

And they say we...

...We can't...Know god's intention sometimes,

That -- that it's too big for a human to understand, but...

I sure don't understand this,

And I don't see how I ever will.

I don't think god plans things like this, tawney.

I mean, why would somebody do that?

Especially a god, you know,

If they had that kind of power, and...

Why would you even want to hang out with that --

That god -- you know?

Much less worship him, really, so...

I just have to believe

That it's all some cosmic cause and effect

Or just plain...Random.
