I mean, I've never seen

that fool run so fast.

Ever. From Aunty Grace... I mean...

So... You is cousins?

Yes... I...

Like third cousins.

Through marriage.

Our moms were best friends in JA.

I want to see your kids.

I can't wait to see 'em!

I'm sorry...

Look, mi have some tings to deal with.

I don't mean to interrupt you guys...

It's no problem...

It was nice meeting you.

...After we buried my

husband and then mama gone...

I... I mean, honestly,

I was just a mess.

I had to quit nursing school...

So when I met Jordan, I thought

my luck had finally changed.

He swept me off me feet, and

took me here on a vacation here.

Just the two of us. At a resort.

And then he asked me to...

Take a suitcase...

Back to Toronto for him...

Oh...

So he could hang back.

Marva...

I know.

I go over it... Again

and again in my head...

...and it doesn't make any sense.

Honestly, the state I was in...

I would have done anything for him...

And then after 18 months in prison...

I received a visit from

Immigration Services.

I didn't even believe them at first.

They put me on a plane.

Without my kids.

These are my digits... Make

sure you call me, alright?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Listen, take this.

No, no. No...

Take it.

Okay?

Remember to call me.

Okay.

Hello, mum.

Ev! Oh Lord, it's so

nice to hear your voice.

Mum, listen, I um... I think

I might of found another.

...place to stay... But I'm

gonna need a little more cash.

But I can only afford

a hundred pounds...

Oh, come on, mum. Come on, really?

You try living off that every month.

Ev, I've got to pay the

lawyer, you know that!

Right. Look, how's the appeal coming?

Well, it seems that now

that you're in Jamaica...

It's harder to reverse things.

No...

No, no, no, mum. That's not

what Irving said before, mum!

You've got to help me, please!

Well, I'm trying...

Mum, please, I'm living

Okay? I'm a waste of time,

I'm a waste of everything, okay?

Oh, Everton, Everton...

step-father don't get along but...

Hey girl! Look, I...

The ongoing gun battle which

has claimed eight lives so far.

The areas of Trench Town and

Greenwich Farm are not safe.

Residents have been advised to

stay out of these communities.

You see that? Hm?

It has been reported

that the violence stemmed.

...from the Dancehall Queen competition...

"Dear, Mommy, I miss you so much.

"Sean and I share a

room, and don't worry...

"I'm taking care of him.

"He's such a baby... "

BANG!... Gasp!

Alright, gal, put that away.

Mansions, I don't know...

We gotta get up outta this war, man.

Get up where it's safe.

Funny, I have to come all the

way to JA to get my first job.

Wha? You never had a real job back home?

No, never.

Oh, dawg...

Yes sir, Mr. Carlson, sir...

I'm in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

It's Archie, it's everything,

I just... I can't stay there.

What's goin' on? What...

Look, I was thinking

maybe I could just...

I could stay with you for a bit...

Marva, that's not a good idea.

Not now. Got too much goin' on.

Okay... Alright, wait! I'm

Not when I gotta tell him...

Just pass the phone...

Well, what is it, dear?

It's nothing super, or anything but...

I mean, I'm working now, I got a job.

Oh! God is good.

What I was really praying after...

After I saw Mr. Irving.

But he does provide!

Wait, you saw Mr.

Irving? What did he say?

Tell him, tell him!

Uh, okay, well, we lost the appeal.

But, Peter and I, we've

been talking, and uh...

something for retirement.

a property in JA anyways, so...

be back in a minute, okay?

Cherry, listen, I don't

have much time, alright?

I need you to take care of Marva for me.

Alright.

Let us pray...

Dear righteous and eternal Father...

We want to thank you for

your mercy and your blessing.

Dear Father, as we

are about to go to war...

We ask that you protect us...

From all plans of our enemies...

These and other mercies we ask...

In Jesus' name...
