Do You Believe? Page #6

walking out the church.

Church?

What church?

The one on 17th.

You know, my aunt got saved

by one of those TV preachers

when we was kids.

Want to know what was

the first thing she done?

Mm-mm.

Gave that man on TV

every dime she had.

So you're saying--

Sheep follow the shepherd.

I'm guessing the shepherd's

got my money.

This is gonna feel

a little cold.

Okay.

Are you ready

to see your baby?

Yes.

Okay, does that

feel okay?

Mm-hmm.

You're gonna be great.

That's your little girl.

She's beautiful.

She is.

You're gonna do great.

It's gonna be okay.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Welcome back to

"The Lily Show"

on how to do gymnastics.

Get ready for the

world's greatest handstand,

into a back bend,

into a somersault,

into a cartwheel,

into a one-handed cartwheel,

into the splits!

That was awesome.

Thank you.

That was so impressive.

Thank you very much.

Wow, she's so pretty.

Yes, she was.

I'll try not to remind you

of her too much.

Oh, sweetheart.

Listen, you just

be yourself

and everything's

gonna be okay.

Okay.

Bravo, bravo.

Where you going?

Preliminary hearing.

The union wants to hear

my side of the story.

Have you decided

what that's gonna be?

The truth.

Which truth?

The one that's

gonna keep you working,

or the one that's

gonna get you fired?

I didn't know there

were different versions

to choose from.

Amor, I'm gonna

ask this one last time.

Please don't do this, Bobby.

I don't have a choice.

What do you mean

you don't have a choice?

You're making one.

You've been making

a lot of choices lately.

What does that mean?

Bobby, you started

going to church

without even asking me

how I felt about it.

We talked about that.

We talked about it,

but you decided that.

You did it on your own.

You risk your life every day

for strangers, Bobby.

What about us?

What about me, Bobby?

You're about to throw

everything away,

but, hey,

you have no choice, right?

I am trying to do

the right thing here.

At least

think about the kids.

Will you do that?

Just think about the kids.

I am thinking about

the boys

and how I want them to behave

when they become men.

Well, it looks like

you've made up your mind.

I hope it all

works out, Bobby.

What made you want

to become a Marine?

Honestly, the billboard.

What?

Yeah, when I was a kid,

I used to see it.

I'd see the uniform

and the sword.

Just looked cool?

Listen, if I could've been

the first 8-year-old marine,

I would have.

I love being a Devil Dog.

What happened?

Things changed.

Or you got tired

of being a hero?

Yeah.

You know,

the funny thing about war,

it shows you who you are,

not who you want to be.

You could talk to me

if you want.

One morning, we're near

this place called Shebesha,

about 11,000 feet up

on this mountainside,

about to get overrun.

Then out of nowhere,

this chopper just comes down

the valley, chain gun blazing.

And they're there

to get us out of there.

It turned out,

the pilot was actually

a really good buddy of mine.

Sam, this big ol'

Korean guy.

Always smiling.

Always smiling, man,

even then.

Anyways,

just shy of the perimeter,

an RPG found them,

took them down.

Copilot, crew chief,

they were both gone right away.

But Sam, he was

stuck up in the cockpit.

I wanted to save him.

I mean, he came to save me,

but I was too scared.

And he died.

And now I just see it

over and over and over.

I don't know,

maybe I deserve it.

My punishment.

No.

I don't know what you did

or didn't do over there,

but I know that

you saved me.

So, that counts

for something.

I don't know

how I saved you.

I didn't do anything.

I'm here.

All right,

what do we got?

Fever is 104.6.

He's burning up.

Any conditions

I should know about?

Yeah.

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia.

Stage four.

What's the name

of your oncologist?

Dr. Emil Martenek.

Statesville Correctional Center.

So I assume that means

you're on compassion leave?

What kind of treatment

you been getting

since you were released?

Mostly praying.

I did come in the other night,

but I didn't get treated,

so I ended up

sleeping outdoors.

Well, let's lay you down.

You're living

on borrowed time

with a highly compromised

immune system,

and you decide

to spend the night outside.

It's complicated.

There's an infection

roaring through your body

and it's highly unlikely

I can stop it.

I'm gonna admit you,

make you comfortable.

That's about

all I can promise.

It's okay, doc.

I knew it was coming.

Well, your little

camping adventure

probably shaved your

time from a few weeks

down to a couple of days,

if that.

It was worth it.

Now I'm going downstairs.

Down, down, down, down.

I guess I can do it

for myself.

Okay.

Hi.

Yeah, can I help you?

Actually--

Are you Samantha?

Yes.

This is for you

and your little girl.

From Joe.

"Dear Sam, it looks like

I'm gonna have to leave

"and I don't think

I'll be back this way.

"The angel's for Lily.

I want her to have it.

God bless.

Your friend, Joe."

Oh, thank you.

Hey, do you know

where Joe is going?

You don't know?

Joe is dying.

I dropped him off

at the hospital this morning.

Okay, I--

I'm sorry.

Can you take me there?

Sure.

Yeah, yeah,

my cab's right outside.

Hey, you go ahead.

Teri and I

will feed her something

and take her to the park

for a couple hours.

Thank you, J.D.

Sure.

Hey, hon.

Hey, does that mean

that she's having the baby?

Okay, all right, I'll--

I gotta go.

I'll get there

as soon as I can.

There's a young girl who's

about to have a baby, right

now,

and I got to get her

to the hospital.

- Right now?

- Yeah.

Right now, you need to be

worried about your future.

My money.

Your money.

It's right here.

I haven't touched it.

Show it to me.

Now what would Jesus think about

you trying to take my money?

I think he would know I didn't

want it in the first place.

So you believe in Jesus?

I do.

Then you believe that

when I pull this trigger,

you're gonna see him.

I do.

I believe we all will,

sooner or later.

Well, pray for me, Pastor,

for hoping that you're wrong.

Oh, thank you, God.

Bobby Wilson, right?

Yes, may I help you?

You might not want to.

I'm the attorney

for Lauren Carson,

the widow of Ron Carson.

Can I ask you a question?

Anything I can do

to stop you?

In a few minutes,

you're gonna go in there,

the union, the department,

the city, and the county

are gonna look to hang you,

and you're gonna

let 'em do it.

That's about

the size of it.

And after that, I am gonna

take you for everything you own.

And you're still

gonna go through with it?

Yes.

Why?

I was once asked,

"If you were ever accused

of being a Christian,

would there be enough

evidence to convict you?"

I don't know, maybe.

But if what I did

has suddenly become a crime,

then I'm proud

to plead guilty.

I shared my faith

with a dying man.

It's something

I've done for years,

only no one's ever
