someone who's been mean to you,
someone outside of the family.
With all of your might
All dead!
Simon.
Not now, Mary.
So what's going on with you?
Nothin'.
No, everything's good.
Now, just between you and me and the
camera, is anything bothering you?
You like being here?
Yeah. Yeah, I love it.
It's great.
Yeah, I really...
I really like it.
You making friends?
Yeah.
All the kids?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Friends with Grace and...
Ellen?
Yeah.
Evan?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then, I just went for it.
You know, I just...
What do you mean?
What'd you do?
Well, I kissed him.
Yeah.
And then I just
leaned in and kissed him.
Did he kiss you back?
Hmm?
Did he kiss you back?
Now.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry!
Do we have to film this?
Would it make you
more comfortable
if we turned
the camera to the wall?
If you wouldn't mind, Father?
Now wait a minute.
I find this hard to believe.
You never had a boyfriend?
I mean,
I could be your boyfriend.
That'd be creepy.
Why?
Because you're my father.
You can't be both.
What if I told you
that I can do anything I want?
Here we have two of
my children in an intimate moment.
What do you see in front of you?
A girl.
What's her name?
Robin.
What's her purpose?
I don't know.
Her purpose is to serve
you, son, because you're a man.
Do you hear me?
Do you understand?
Okay.
And at this moment,
you're looking at your
property and your playground.
A thing of beauty and delicacy.
Put your hands on
your property, son.
Do it.
Do it. Do it now.
I don't know how.
Okay.
Is that the way you handle property?
I don't know.
Touch her.
Higher.
Higher.
You know where to go.
Do it. Touch 'em.
Put your hand on the other one.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Good. Just feel.
Robin, how does it feel?
Don't lie.
How does it feel?
It doesn't feel like anything.
I'm sorry.
Because Alan doesn't yet know
how to appreciate a woman.
But he will.
Kiss her.
Kiss her, Alan.
The other way, I can't see you.
Kiss her.
You're not kissing your goddamn
grandmother, kiss her.
Something's changed
and everyone's acting scared,
but they won't
tell me what's what.
I don't know,
maybe they don't even know.
Things just...
They feel heavier.
Simon and Mary keep disappearing
for long hours at a time
and when they get back, they run
us through even crazier drills.
They're not
letting us sleep anymore.
I wanna talk now.
I'd like to talk about music.
And the power that music
has to change people.
Some people.
The song Amazing Grace,
I heard it growing up in church.
I was a pretty bad kid.
I didn't listen to
that stuff, you know?
Then one day that song came up
and it hit me
square in the face.
I was in County, again,
trying to lower my points,
you know.
Bullshit motherfucking
say-no-to-drugs meetings they had.
God.
Sweet Jesus, it was boring.
You know the routine.
Some fat motherf***er gets up
starts talking about how doing
blow made him suck dick.
Whatever. I don't give a sh*t.
Then he starts
talkin' about that song.
About how it changed him, you know.
He was blind but now he sees.
You know, blah, blah, blah,
I'm about half-listening.
Then he starts to sing.
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
He sung like an angel.
Just like an angel.
So I figured
"Hell,
that fat f*** beautiful,
"maybe it can do something
for the likes of me. "
We were six when we first met.
She was my best friend.
I think we knew even back then
we were gonna get married.
She got pregnant.
We were only 17.
But...
we weren't worried.
We knew we'd make it work.
She died.
What happened?
The baby cut off
her blood supply.
What about the baby?
It's my fault she got pregnant.
And were they right?
Was it your fault?
You think it was lust or love?
It was love.
You sure you
know the difference?
Yes, Father.
What are you afraid of? Most?
Most of all?
Don't lie.
That I won't get
to see her again.
Good.
Let's talk about Mama.
Mama didn't give
a sh*t about me.
Or what happened to me.
So I got in trouble real early
and real often, you know.
Petty theft, stole
some cars, sh*t like that.
And I got caught a lot.
She didn't do sh*t
to get me outta there.
So I stayed.
And I didn't care.
At least in there
the hot water worked.
You know,
I got something to eat.
God,
you see some things, though.
Back up, baby,
let me show you something.
The first time I saw a man
take another man's life,
he stabbed him in
the eyeball for an orange.
A f***in' orange.
I mean, f***!
You don't getnothing for free in life.
There's always somebody who wants
to get f***ed or f*** you.
That's the only thing she ever
did say that made any sense.
I wonder what
she'd think of me now.
F*** you, Mama!
F*** you!
Turn it off.
Just being in this world?
I'm here to tell you it
doesn't have to be that way.
You can call it what you will,
I call it a transition.
But it's a change,
brothers and sisters.
It's a change.
And it's a hard way
and I can't make you choose it.
And if there's anyone
in this room right now
if there's anyone
under the sound of my voice
who feels that this
way is not for them,
I wish, I beg,
and walk out that door.
And I swear to you
upon my honor as a man
that you will not be stopped.
I will turn my
back and I will wait.
If you must leave, leave.
Very well.
Who's ready to feel that moment?
I am ready, Father.
I'm ready.
Who's ready to feel that power?
I'm ready, Father.
Brother Evan.
Yes?
He tells me it is your time.
Oh, my God.
Thank you, Father.
Celebrate with your brother.
I love you! I love you!
Exit interview, Brother Evan.
Hi.
Hi, Brother.
This is a great
opportunity for you
to tell those who may
watch this in the future
what you're feeling,
what you'd like them to know.
This is it.
This is the only
holy place on earth.
I feel sad for you
because you will never experience
what we are experiencing.
We only live once.
We only have one shot.
And this is it.
Yes, Father.
This is a moment of joy
for all of the family.
We will soon be
reunited in our new home.
Give me the camera.
Now, now.
Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Yesterday you saw
Brother Evan transition.
Yeah.
What was that like?
I don't know.
Yesterday,
I got to witness
the most beautiful thing I have
ever seen in my entire life.
I was really happy.
I knew that Brother Evan was
in a better place,
Who's this guy?
The truck?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You like trucks?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah. Yeah, they're strong.
Do you want to talk about
Brother Evan's transition?
Why don't you just
tell us what it was like?
I don't know why,
I felt confused.
Confused about what?
I didn't want him to be in pain.
