Gimme Shelter Page #2
See? She doesn't know.
She doesn't know anything.
- Oh, I know.
- You don't know.
- I know, and I'm not-Ooh!
- Calm down, will you?
We are not having this
baby in our house.
- What baby?
- What baby?
Where's the dad?
Is he in jail?
I don't know.
We only did it once.
I need to talk to you
right now alone, please.
You want her in our life?
I don't know what you're thinking here!
I will take care of it,
and we need to find...
I want her out!
Please, no.
No. Come on, no.
No.
Hi. We're here to check in.
Apple Bailey.
Thank you.
Hear that?
That's the heartbeat.
We almost done here?
Just a few more images.
Here you go. These are for you.
Good luck.
Yo.
You see the woman I came in with?
Where have you been?
You're all wet.
Where you going? Where were you?
Hey! Wait! Where did
you disappear to?
Look, I didn't disappear anywhere!
She left me there!
She left me!
Nobody left you anywhere!
Stop! Stop!
I left you there?
- You're a liar! You're a liar!
- Whoa! Whoa whoa!
I waited for her.
She's trying to get in
between us. Shes...
You see? Do you see
what I mean? A liar!
Hey! Cool it! Maybe you should
give us a minute... now!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, look at me.
Look at me! Look at me!
Apple! What are...
Hey. Hey.
Hey, Apple, Apple?
Well, it's about time.
How are you feeling today?
Hungry.
Shouldn't you be at
work or something?
I took the morning off.
I had a few things to do with
the construction and all,
and I wanted to check in with you.
Yeah, well, I'm fine,
so I guess you can go.
You know...
today is an important
day for my firm,
and especially for me.
One of our biggest clients
asked to meet with me
personally to sign a deal.
Do you know why?
Mutual respect, trust,
and confidence.
This is what I've
earned from my peers.
It's taken me years to build this.
These are the same words that
I want to speak about with you.
Mutual respect,
such as I respect you,
you respect me.
That means when I tell you
something, you stop ignoring me.
Trust, such as when this
conversation is over,
and I'm going to trust
that you are not going to get
into a street brawl with my wife.
And confidence.
These are the positive
results of our relationship
that can begin to happen once the
first two things start to happen.
Now, Joanna and I had a long
talk last night, and...
it's clear that you are not ready
to assume the responsibility
of motherhood.
Think about it.
You have no means of support
you have nowhere to live,
and you have no one willing
to help you except me.
Apple?
It's time that you
turn the page on this.
Put it all behind you so
that you can move forward.
Just turn the page,
and before you know it,
you'll have forgotten
that it ever happened.
Mmm.
Just... Just turn the page.
Yes.
That's right.
Like you did with me.
Thank you, Cece.
Ahem.
Apple?
Look, I know that you must hate me,
and I just wanted to say I'm sorry
about the misunderstandings.
Hmm?
No one's perfect, right?
How did your talk go
with your father?
Did he tell you?
Tell me what?
I made an appointment for you
tomorrow morning at a clinic.
Wait, what?
You're not going to be able to take
care of this child by yourself.
We're not going to deal with this,
and if you don't cooperate,
we're going to have no choice
but to ask you to leave.
No.
No, look, I don't want to do that.
It's not about what
you want, honey,
unless you want to end up
just like your mother.
You don't have to worry about anything.
I will be with you to hold your hand.
Hi, Tom.
Not yet.
Okay.
I'm sorry. No cell phones, please.
Okay. Okay, I have to hang up.
wait in the waiting room.
Can you hurry up, please?
The doctor's on his way.
Feet, don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart it breaks
every step that I take
But I'm hoping at the gates
They'll tell me
that you're mine
Walkin' through
the city streets
Is it by mistake or design
I feel so alone on
the Friday nights
- You got a man with you?
- Can you make it feel like home
If I tell you you're mine?
It's like I told you, honey
Don't make me sad
Don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough
I don't why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun
in the meantime
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay. I'm not scared.
I'm not scared.
It's okay.
Aah!
Please, God.
Protect me.
Yo, Shorty.
Shorty, we got some business
we need to discuss.
Yo, Shorty, let me holler at you.
You going to make me come over there?
I said get in the car. Come on.
Don't you hear me?
I said get in the car.
We got some business to discuss.
Come on, get your ass in the car.
That's what I'm talking about.
Get out! I'm going to
kill you, you little b*tch!
Aah! No!
Aah!
Aah!
Rest easy.
You're in the security ward,
Newark City Hospital.
chaplain here at the hospital.
Do I have your permission to
be in this room with you?
No, no.
I'm not here about that.
Your baby's all right.
The doctors had this taken
when they found the
one in your shoe.
Can you try talking?
Look, I don't need a priest.
God don't care about me.
Don't waste your time.
You're mistaken.
God is ever near and
with us always.
Last time I asked for his
help, he put me here.
He's a tough C.O.
at times, but maybe...
you're exactly where
you were meant to be.
"Lord, make me an
instrument of Thy peace;"
"where there's hatred,
let me sow lave;"
"where there's injury, pardon;"
"where there's doubt, faith."
You still here?
This is still here,
I'm still here.
You were sleeping, so I didn't think
you'd mind if I used your john.
I found out that, uh,
the authorities will probably
but they're going to keep you here
until they can get in
touch with your family
or find you a temporary home.
I didn't ask you to
talk to anyone for me.
Why do you want to help me?
It's my job.
You're a priest.
If you were a good one at that, you'd be
at your own church right now, not here.
This is my church.
And I'm not just
thinking about you.
What will happen if you
leave here by yourself?
Where will you go?
Here.
I want you to have this.
Being young and pregnant
is like being a pinwheel.
Whenever the weather changes,
you have no idea what way
your life is going to go.
You know, the pinwheel is
supposed to bring good fortune.
Go ahead.
Blow it.
I did some research for you.
It led me to a special
shelter for teens
who want to have their
babies, like your baby.
Don't try and tell me this.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I've been in shelters and
I ain't going back to no shelter!
Don't make your child suffer
because you're suffering.
God put you here for a reason.
Leave! Now!
You talk about suffering!
Where was God when
