Never Heard

Subtitles by explosiveskull

I've made some bad decisions in my life.

My name is Demetrius, but my friends call me Diggy.

If you would have asked me yesterday, when will I die?

This is for my niece.

No!

I would have said I'm going to live forever, and a day.

So much to do, so many places to see.

Go!

Diggy! Come on, man.

I never got to tell my brother,

"Don't follow in my footsteps."

Sorry, I couldn't save you, Momma.

I never even made love before, man.

Out of everything I wanted to do in my life,

I never heard my father speak.

- How y'all? - Chilling.

- All right, y'all. - Be good.

- Good? - Yeah, man.

- She dropped it off last night. - That's crazy.

- Are you allergic to bees, man? - Yeah, man you know that.

Nine o'clock bees, Nine o'clock bees, dude.

They are right there on you, dude, watch out!

Dude, watch...

You stupid man. Y'all!

Everything we deal with on the street,

you still afraid of bees, man?

Bees can kill you, man.

My face swelled up. Why are you laughing, man?

Since seven years old, never fail.

- Calvin is home, man. I'm leaving. - Good.

- Good seeing you, man. - Alright, bro.

Don't go to Britney's house, man.

I'm gonna go by Jessica.

Ah!

Cal!

Cal! You're home, man?

Ma.

Ma.

Ma?

Ma, where's Calvin?

I don't know, sweetie, probably at practice or something.

He didn't call or nothing?

Ma, I told you, you've got to watch him when I'm not here.

Did you get some more stuff?

Dig, did you get some more stuff?

Boy, you know you hear me talking to you.

Yeah, ma.

I got you a little something.

Here, Ma.

Always know how to take good care of your mama, don't you?

Hey, Granny?

Oh, Jalen, my handsome.

Hey.

What are you doing out here?

Oh, I just left from... with Diggy.

Yeah, I saw that.

Now, I've told you before just like I told your father,

everything has a seed

and if you plant trouble,

trouble is what you're going to get back.

- No, I just... - Jalen, do you want to end up like your father?

You have to do right.

Baby, you are one thought away from changing

your life for the good or for the bad.

- That's why I love you. - Oh, boy.

You always stand on top of me, and you always preaching to me.

I love you.

I love you too.

Now baby, if you do right, then I won't be doing all this preaching.

You mean everything to me.

Well, listen baby I got to going over to the church.

- You want me to walk with you? - No, I'm alright.

You be good. I'm watching you.

Alright.

Yes.

I have a collect call

- from: - Aaron Davis.

an inmate at San Bernardino

county detention facility,

if you would like to accept this call...

- Yes, yes! - If you would like...

Yes, yes, yes!

I will... Yes, yes!

If you would like to accept this call...

Yes, I'll accept.

This call will be recorded

and monitored.

What do you want, Aaron?

Can't I just be calling to see how you're all doing?

Whenever you call it's because you want something, Aaron.

- I mean I'm trying. - Do I...

- How can... - Just stop.

Come on. Shala you know I...

Why are you calling me?

What do you want me to do?

You don't have to do anything for me,

but I'm telling you, you've got to get your son off the streets

before he's... Before he's dead or locked up.

But I'm in jail, I can't do anything in here.

Aaron...

These streets are getting worse by the day.

And he doesn't know that I know, but...

Aaron he's selling drugs, just like his father used to.

If I can get out, I can change things.

I promise, but nobody is listening.

If I get out, will I have a place to come to?

No, no, no, he might need you, but I don't.

Well, tell my man I said what's up, then.

Hey, Ma.

- Are you OK? - Yeah.

- How long have you been standing there? - Long enough.

It's okay to cry, alright?

Young woman, come into my office, come on, come talk to me.

- What's going on, man? - What's up? I've missed you in and out these past few days.

- I was just playing ball. - You better be, boy.

Hey, go check your room, I got you something.

- You got my uniform! - You know it, man.

- Thanks, Diggy. - Of course, man. Hey!

- Go do your homework now, man. - I will.

Hey, stop staying up so late.

- I will. - Go!

God, Lord,

I know you see Jalen,

and I need you to intervene.

I need you, Lord to intervene.

Do whatever you have to do, Lord,

to get him out of those streets, do it, Lord.

I trust in you, Lord.

And, Devil I serve you notice.

Let him loose!

He's the Lord's vessel...

In Jesus name, amen.

Amen.

Amen.

I love you, okay?

I've got you.

You know grandma, I saw her on the way in.

Yeah, she's trying to get me to read the Bible and stuff.

Jalen, you're her only grandchild, what do you expect?

Swear that lady is a detective.

Can I ask you a question?

How come you never say you love me?

Jalen?

Jalen, You... You know I love you even though

I might not always say it, so stop that.

- Stop, what? - Stop, stop, stop with all of the mushy stuff.

Forgiveness is not about anybody else.

Forgiveness is a gift that you give yourself.

You've got to let go of it, because if you don't let go

of whatever the offense is,

you will always be your limitation.

You are too strong to be suffering.

Only weak people hold on to unforgiveness.

God has a plan for your life,

if you don't let go of it, you'll never reach that plan.

The Bible say that only the pure in heart will see God.

So whatever it takes you've got flush all of it out of you.

You've got to do it for yourself and your future,

for your children and your children's children.

Loose it and let it go today.

Hey, baby.

Momma.

How are you?

I'm keeping it together.

How are you?

They won't look into my case,

I did not do those things that they say I did. I didn't.

That may be,

but, I believe that God is going to work this thing out.

You can say that for somebody else.

Now, Aaron...

you were raised in the church, you know what to do.

You have to repent for the things you've done

and you've got to turn your life over to him.

I am sorry for all the things I've put you through, I am.

I should be out there.

Uh-huh.

You are right where you need to be, to hear from God.

See out there was a distraction

keeping you from your purpose, from being a father to your son.

If you ask anything when you pray,

it will be done if you have faith.

On your way back to the cell.

- Time's up, All inmates let's go. - Now I got to go.

All inmates let's go.

I love you.

I love you. You got to go.
