God's Compass (2016) - full transcript

On the night Suzanne Waters celebrates her retirement, she is faced with a series of crisis she could not have imagined.

But as we
look to the future,

I hope we climb to new heights.

So without further ado, I'm
going to turn the podium over

to our former principle,
Ms. Suzanne Waters.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Everyone who's fortunate
enough to reach this day,

knows that it's coming.

Love
you doctor Waters.

One day
I woke and realized

that this day is here.



So I'd like to
leave you with this.

Don't leave.

- God has plans for you.

- Don't waste the
tomorrow's that you have.

Paging
Doctor Waters.

Chasing
what doesn't matter.

I gotta go.

- Arguing with the
winning doesn't matter.

Priorities that
no longer matter.

You can do better.

God's north for you.

We'll miss you.

- Only needs your
courage to be realized.

Thank you, I'm grateful.



Follow your north.

Pressing a
bandage over the wound.

He's been steadily
losing blood pressure

from his internal injuries.

- He's just a kid.

No exit wound but let's get him
bagged

and on a ventilator right now.

He's going
into hypovolemic shock.

- Contact
anesthesiology, put DOR.

- Although Suzanne
Waters is leaving us,

she'll never really be gone.

I know I can never completely
fill the shoes left behind.

You are always welcome
here, at South High.

In one month, she
will add grandmother

to her long list
of accomplishments.

- I'm so sorry David wasn't
able to be here today.

I know his job's important.

He's going in
shock, I need a blood type.

One, two.

Check
his blood pressure.

Three.

Blood
pressure elevated.

- 300 CC saline
drips, start now.

Where is it?

Hold on baby, hold on.

Please baby, just hold on.

It's all right.

Where is my phone?

Forceps.

Suction.

Spreader.

- Please don't hurt
me, I have money.

Man, what's wrong?

- I'm having my baby.

- No, no.

- No, please, I can't drive.

Do you have a phone?

- Go home and stay there.

I'll be right back.

Go home and stay there.

- Go home.

Can you move over?

We're
gonna miss you.

You
dropped your phone.

Thank you, thank you.

- Jessica, my name is Jessica.

- Nice name.

- Are you going
to tell me yours?

- I could but if I did
I'd have to put you

on the side of the
road and take your car.

What makes you think
we're going to a hospital?

I'll take your car after I
deliver you to the hospital.

Payment.

- You are allowed
to take the car.

- Hey, the important thing
is to keep your mind off

that eight pound alien that's
about to pop out of you.

- He's early.

- Preterm as in you
before or after 32 weeks?

- Around there.

- Around there?

Knowing when you're past
preterm is pretty important.

Oddest thing, did you know that

if they transplant a
woman's heart into a man's,

the diameter of the
arteries will increase?

Men naturally have
larger arteries.

You have 60 thousand
miles of blood vessels

and in every rep
blood goes completely

around the body in 60 seconds.

You produce 25 thousand quarts
of spit in your lifetime,

that could fill two pools.

- Where do you get
this stuff from?

- The library.

Thanks to soccer mums, like
yourself, that live in superbia.

It's a good thing
you pay your taxes.

I mean, how entertaining the
conversation with me would be

if I didn't internet access?

Blood
pressure dropping.

Heart
rate dropping.

Get another
line going on him.

We're loosing him.

- Your brain requires
10% to operate.

You think your brain is
more active during the day

with the rest of your
body but it's not,

it is more active
when you're sleeping.

- No, don't stop, keep
going, keep going.

- 90% of the information you
gain, you gain from sight.

You can't tickle yourself, go
ahead try to tickle yourself.

The reason why your stomach
doesn't destroy itself is

because it produces cells
faster than it can destroy them.

Frequent dreams are
connected to higher IQ.

- You must dream a lot.

- People think wisdom
teeth are a set of teeth

but they're really
just the third molars

largely useless beyond
growing and causing pain.

You'll be about one
centimeter shorter

when you go to bed
at night than you are

when you wake up in the morning.

The cords in your spine
compress throughout the day.

If you're right-handed
you can live

up to nine years
longer than a leftie.

Only humans shed
emotional tears.

Help, this woman's
having an alien.

More people have a
heart attack on a Monday

than any other day.

Thank you.

20% more.

- You got her here just in time.

You can wait for your
mother over there.

Wait, what's your name?

Babies are
born with 350 bones.

Adults have 206.

Hey.

Freeze.

I need security backup.

Hey, hey, hey.

Get off me.

Stop,
do not resist me.

- I wasn't doing anything.

- Give me your other hand.

I need a juvie backup unit
in south visitor's lobby

at Highland General.

Let's make sure
we've stopped all the blooding

before we close them up.

Yes, sir.

More suction.

Vitals
are stabilizing.

Doctor David Waters.

Leave a message after the tone.

- Hey sweetie, your
bride left her phone.

I'm gonna drop it by, if
you're busy you're busy.

It'd be great to see you.

Love you.

All
right, again, on three.

One, two, three.

Push.

Keep it up,
you're doing a great job.

Come
on Jessica, push.

That's why
I always double check.

Doctor Waters,
you're having a baby.

Are you ready?

No, I
don't think I'm ready yet.

Tell my
wife I'll be there

as soon as I finish up here.

Temperature's back up.

Blood pressure is looking good.

Jessica,
we need to get the baby.

We need you to push.

Push.

Heart rate's at 20.

It's
gonna be okay, Jessica.

Get my neonatologist down here.

- What's wrong?

My baby.

It's
gonna be okay.

One,
two, three and push.

- Stand up.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Walk forward.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in the court of law.

Watch your head.

You
can do it, Jessica.

Baby's in the canal.

You can do it, you're strong.

Heart
rate's decelerating.

Doctor
Waters, it's your wife.

You need to come now.

- Just keep him
sedated for two hours

in case I didn't get
all of the bleeding.

- What's wrong with my baby?

Your baby's
going to get great care.

I know it's not easy.

The baby is being
investigated for tetralogy.

He's with a good neonatologist.

He's upstairs in
neonatal intensive care.

Hey come on,
look, we'll be fine, okay?

We're gonna be fine and
the baby will be too.

You can't
say that with confidence.

- What's going on?

- Based on what?

You heard the doctors.

- Should I leave?

- No.

- Mum, our baby was born
with tetralogy of fallot.

Blue baby syndrome.

- Will it be all right?

- Well, the veins and arteries
are basically swapped,

so it will require
open heart surgery.

It's very serious.

- I'm so sorry.

If there anything I can
do, what can I do to help?

- Listen, my postup is
having complications.

I have to go check on him.

I'll be back to check
on you soon, okay?

- She is not a patient
that you check on.

Get someone else
to take the call.

- Mum look, it's
my patient, okay?

It's just not that easy.

- I'm here for you.

I'm so sorry.

- This boy, he saved
my baby's life.

And possibly mine
the doctor said.

It was a miracle he was there.

Can you do me a favor,
can you find him?

I wanna thank him.

- Of course.

And I'm so sorry.

- I have to do something first.

Just let me go for an hour and
I'll come back here, I swear.

Please.

Come on.

Come on kid, let's go.

- No, no, no, stop, stop.

You don't want to do that.

Get off me.

- Stop it, come on now.

I'm trying to help you.

- I never asked for your help.

Get off me.

- I feel like I'm sprinting on
a treadmill with these kids.

- Congratulations on
becoming a grandma.

- Thank you.

- But for now, while that
baby is being stabilized,

there's no
visitation, I'm sorry.

- I understand.

Seems very serious.

- It is unfortunately.

- Maybe you could point
me in the direction

of the young man that brought
my daughter-in-law in.

- I was told that
he was arrested.

- Thank you.

- I know that was you.

You knew?

- I can feel you, I
don't have to see you.

- I didn't mean to wake you.

I'm sorry, I got tied up.

- You got busy.

Did it help?

I know you're scared.

It has to be hard, you not
being able to do anything.

I just hope while you're
processing your feelings,

you'll include me.

10 o'clock lights out.

Hi.

- He's gonna make it.

Hi, mum.

- Hi sweetie.

No wonder people get
sick and are overweight.

Look at what you're
eating in here.

Jessica is an amazing woman,
don't take her for granted.

- I see you two
have been talking.

- Mums can see things.

- Mum, I can't deal
with this right now.

Okay, Jessica just
doesn't understand

the requirements of my job.

Let's just leave it at that.

- Jessica is your priority.

Your job's not your life.

- My life's become a
medical dispensary.

I didn't go to med school
to become a soda machine.

- Look at you, pager going off.

I remember I'd be sitting
you with your father

while he did visitations.

And wow, now you're here.

All your father
needed was that kidney

for a few extra years
'cause he was so proud

watching you cross that stage,
Doctor David Isaac Waters.

- Okay, mum, that's great.

I gotta go, okay?

Love you.

- Your father healed
hearts inside these walls.

Hearts.

I miss you.

- Have a sit right here.

- Hi, I'm Suzanne Waters.

I'm the mother-in-law
of the woman you helped.

- I don't need a thanks.

- That's great to hear

because it makes thanking
you that much easier.

Thanks for agreeing to meet.

- How is she?

Jessica, right?

- She's doing very well, Eli.

The doctors say you
saved her baby's life.

- How about it.

- I'm going to find
a way to help you.

- You don't have to bother,
I was stealing her car.

If she wasn't in the beamer,
I'd be at a chopshop right now

and I'd be at Grandrich for it.

- And you wouldn't
have been arrested.

And you and I
wouldn't be talking.

I believe that God
wants me to be here.

If I request to see you
again, will you see me?

Attention
guests and residents.

Morning visitation
hours are over.

They'll reopen from 2pm.

Time to go, come on.

Again, morning
visitation hours are over.

- I wish that you were here.

Your son had a boy.

They haven't named him yet.

And I made a new friend.

And he's very complicated.

The faucet broke.

So, I
ended up asking,

"What do we need a 30
foot Christmas tree for?"

And it crushed
the roof of that rental truck

when he cut it down.

What
was Isaac thinking?

Well,
he thought that

it would come to rest on
the roof of the truck,

so he wouldn't have to
load it alone in the woods.

Genius, genius.

- It sank the
tiers into the mud.

My goodness.

You know, whenever I
brought that story up,

he would always say,

"Well, you try
driving a 30-foot tree

"on the top of a rental
truck on Interstate 30

"and avoid getting a ticket."

- Greater works than
these shall he do,

because I am going to my Father.

That's how that husband
of yours always lived.

You didn't come here
to talk about Isaac.

- There's this boy.

- That doesn't sound good
and I know that look.

- His name is Eli
and bigger problems

than just a little
trouble at school.

- When Isaac got sick,

I felt, "No Lord, I can't
lead this congregation.

"I just don't have
that special thing,

"that indescribably way that
people just naturally follow."

You know what he said to me?

"God doesn't choose us
because we're confident

"in our preparation to go and
do what he's called us to do.

"He chooses us because he
knows what we're capable of."

Then he handed me this.

His words to me,

"Follow God's north for
your life's calling."

- What I don't need is
more drama in my life, mum.

- You two are my priority.

- Look, he's a criminal, I
don't care if he's only 14.

- 16.

- Worse.

Who are you doing this for?

- Look, that boy showed up

the moment that
Jessica need help.

- Mum I get it,
happy coincidence,

good fortune, we got
lucky, I'm grateful.

But you're being ridiculous.

- I believe it's more
than that, don't you?

Mum.

Mum, who are you doing this for?

- I know what you're implying.

- Okay, great, tell
me if I'm right.

Mum, you are not the
keeper of dad's legacy.

Just let it go.

- Look, I just
came for an update.

Any news, maybe see him.

- Mum, he's going in
for surgery on Monday.

They're running a guide test

to get a better
picture for surgery.

He's just very
vulnerable right now.

One in four don't make it.

Look, I'll try to arrange
a time when you see him

but it will be through
the glass, I'm sorry.

- I understand.

I'll get a prayer chain going.

Did you decide on the name?

Doctor Waters.

- You could say it's not fair.

- I have to do rounds.

- So, how are you feeling?

I saw the young boy
that helped you.

- How is he?

Did you get a name?

- His name is Eli.

And I'm not sure why anybody
would want to be in his shoes.

- He seemed spunky and smart.

- He's in jail.

Apparently he's a car thief.

- Seemed all heart to me.

- I think so too.

You are going to
be a great mother.

- You know, the miracle is

that we even
conceived this child.

He keeps telling me that
extra hours put him in line

to friend the ER.

Like that was gonna give him
more time with me, with us.

But don't say anything though.

It will just make it worse.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

I'll talk to him though.

- That kid, Eli.

- Please tell him
how grateful I am.

- There's something about him,
some kind of connect, right?

- Like I knew him,
put me at ease.

I wish I could help him.

You have
plenty to deal with.

- And I am so scared.

- He's going to be all right.

You just say the word and
I will be here for you.

- I know.

I know.

He's going to jail.

There's nothing you
can do to change that.

- It's not mine to
question, it's mine to do.

- I get it, you're one of those.

Life lesson 101.

These kids get saved by
Jesus in prison every day.

And then, when they walk,

they go right back to
the life they know.

All they've ever known.

And then, they're
back in front of me

very soon after getting out.

I'm sorry to be so candid.

Ms. Waters, you
need a wake up call.

- We call that a
come-to-Jesus moment.

I appreciate your
experience and concern.

- Helping someone
doesn't change them.

- Is there a bond that I can pay

so he doesn't have
to stay in jail?

Temporary custody.

Do you recommend that I
hire a lawyer for him?

- All of the above.

- So you're hanging in there?

- The average human sheds
600,000 particles a day,

one and half pounds a year.

Imagine how much flesh is
on these floors, this table.

- Understood.

Silly question.

- This is like
county but for kids.

Ever been to county?

- County, which county?

- Yeah, you keep it up kid.

You know she's here to help.

- Do you think you can
sneak me in some bones?

Benjamins?

Scratch.

Cabbage.

- Cabbage?

- Bling.

Money.

I need some favor
from the bug squad.

- I'm sorry but I can't
do anything like that

and I would never do
anything like that.

- Then I was kidding.

- What I can do is
get you out of here.

You would have to be
under my supervision.

Now is that something
that you would want?

- Why would you do that?

- I'm not completely sure.

- Honest answer.

- Okay, I'll get it arranged.

- You don't owe me.

- I'm doing it for
selfish reasons.

- Even better.

- Eli's parents were
killed in a car accident.

No will, no one came forward.

My, what a startling life.

- It's not an overnight
process to foster.

A home study visit is required.

You have to bring him
to meet with me weekly.

I'll see what I can do
about a special circumstance

but you'll have to be
enrolled in the classes.

- Glad to.

Thank you.

- Ms. Waters, he's been in
foster care since he was 10.

He's never stayed
in the same home

for more than three months.

We lost track of him
for the last 18 months.

Plainly spoken, you're taking
out bail and he's a runner.

You might just be a way
out of juvie for him.

- Understood.

- Did you know he has a sister?

- A sister?

- Yes.

She was four, he was 10.

The unfortunate reality is that

couples are often looking
for kids under four years.

He ran with her the first
time to keep them together.

- Is she in placement?

- Police are looking.

- I'm compelled again
to ask Ms. Waters, why?

- Because I believe
God brought Eli to me.

- Eli.

Ms. Waters...

- Mrs. Waters.

- Excuse me.

Mrs. Waters

is risking a lot to help you.

Do you understand?

- Yes.

- And why should your
yes give me reassurance

that you'll be here on your
court day for grand theft?

- You don't trust me.

Nothing I can tell that
will make you trust me.

My word doesn't mean much

but you can trust in
Mrs. Waters' word.

- That's right.

What is also true is

Mrs. Waters has no experience

in dealing with a
young man like you.

Stealing cars is
wholly different

from a kid skipping classes.

My responsibility is
to the judicial system

and to law enforcement.

So having said that,

your bail is set at $100,000

for flight risk.

- I've really done it this time.

Either I'm completely
out of control

or I'm going to learn
the lesson of a lifetime.

- Listen, you seem
like a nice lady.

Don't let this kid use you.

He's very smart.

- Just the same.

- Okay.

- Look, I know it's gonna
take you a while to trust me

but we have to communicate.

Are you hearing me?

- Yes, I hear you.

- Well good, that's a start.

So you have a sister.

- Everyone lies once
a day, that's a fact.

- Can't run from the
truth, that's also a fact.

But the police are
searching for your sister.

Is there anything
that you can tell me

that would help them?

- No.

- This is Eli.

- Wait a minute, I
thought we were gonna

talk about this first.

Come here.

I never got a
chance to thank you.

- It's like I told your mum,
I didn't intend to help you.

- You can't tickle yourself

and frequent dreaming is
associated with having a higher IQ.

- Really?

An average person falls
asleep in seven minutes.

Dreaming for 30.

- I didn't know that.

- Look, you know that,
I'm glad everybody

is having fun right now but
this is not a good time.

- They're just useless facts.

- Well, they helped me keep
my mind off of my worries

on the way to the hospital.

Thank you.

- How is your baby?

- Wait a minute, that's private.

- He's fine, thanks to you.

- Any news?

- We are not about to have this
conversation here right now.

- I think I should go.

- Look, you know what, you
did a good thing, okay?

And I'm grateful but right
now is not a good time.

- Well, he's going to be
using your old bedroom.

- My room?

Yeah, okay.

- I just thought it was
right to let you know.

We'll be going.

- Thank you again.

- Sure.

- What is wrong with you?

- Me?

Babe, I see these kids every
day coming through the ER.

My mum doesn't know what
she's getting herself into.

- This was obviously
my son's room.

I'll let you get settled in.

The clothes on the bed are
yours and we can get more.

- Nice.

- Please let me apologize
for my son's behavior.

He is in his 30s, the
age when you think

that every decision
you make is permanent.

When you're his age, you
remember this conversation.

- I don't plan on getting to 30.

- I hope so.

I'll start dinner.

- Jessica's sleeping
soundly, mum.

I don't know, somehow she's
found peace in all this.

- You just let yourself in.

- Come on, mum, I was worried.

Is he asleep.

- David, I'm still your mother.

- I know, that's
why I was concerned.

- Well, he's gone.

- He's gone, what
does that mean?

He's gone.

- He climbed out the window.

- Did you call the police?

- I'm handling this.

- Mum.

What if he comes
back here at night

and breaks into your house, mum?

- What, like you just did?

- I'm not some misguided youth.

Did you go after him?

- He took my car.

- Naomi.

Naomi.

Naomi.

- What's this?

This is a joke, right?

Mum, you gotta be kidding me.

You put your house, dad's house,

grandma and grandpa's
house for bail.

- It might look
confusing but it's not.

God just hasn't made
it all very clear yet.

- Right, I agree with you there.

- I see we can
agree on something.

- Well, I tell you
what, I guess you will

definitely be downsizing now.

- Watch your tone.

- Look, mum, you're not staying
at your house tonight, okay?

He could come back.

We need to go.

- You take care of
Jessica and your baby.

- Naomi.

Naomi?

Naomi.

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi.

Naomi!

I'm sorry
about your car.

I'm not worried,
the police will find it.

I can't believe
all this is happening.

What are
you so afraid of?

- Look, it's just.

I don't know, things
just aren't unfolding

the way I wanted them to.

- You poor thing.

- You know, you just
barrage me when I tell you.

- Yes, when you lie to me.

- Well, you tell me, mum.

- You measure up, David.

You're as good as any
of the rest of them.

And you don't need
a bigger title

to make then see in you
what already exists.

- Forget it, okay?

You're not gonna
listen to me anyway.

Let's just change the subject.

- Mamas can worry
needlessly about their boys

but they also know when
not to worry in silence.

What is it?

- So why are you
helping this kid?

- You're changing the subject.

- It's uncomfortable.

- You tell me why.

- You're scared.

Like the rest of us.

It is somehow about a title

you lose touch with
the purpose in life.

Mum, is that what
helping this kid's about?

- I may be a little
off in my purpose

but I'm not trying to
get that from a boy.

He needed help, I
felt called to help.

- If you hadn't
inherited this place,

would you and dad
have still picked it?

- Why are you asking?

- Dad's passed, you're
still living here.

Four bedrooms?

- You were never supposed
to be an only child.

Sometimes a mother
just blurts it out.

Age gives you
permission to do that.

And yes.

This house,

it feels empty.

But, I just can't yet.

- Naomi.

Naomi.

Naomi.

I've spoken
to Doctor House.

He's in great care, okay?

I don't
want to leave him.

I know, babe, I know.

- Of course we should name him.

How could we not name our son?

- Won't that just
make things harder?

- For who?

Don't you bury my
son before God does.

- Baby, that's him.

Hey!

- I ain't Eli.
- Get back here.

I don't
know you that is.

Help, anyone.

- What are you doing?

- Good question.

David.

- Why did you get in the way?

Babe, what are you doing?

Enough.

I just
can't catch a break.

I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry.

Baby.

- We have an appointment
for your home study.

Yes, of course, yes.

- How's Eli doing?

- He's gone, I'm so sorry.

- I am as well.

I'm gonna have to
tell the court,

that was part of his
conditional release.

- You're lucky, you
got an exit wound.

This one's yours.

- Me?

I don't think I'm
ready for this,

you're gonna be here, right?

- I want no rookie, man.

- You see, I'm a rookie.

- Well, welcome to the
major league, okay?

You don't even have
to find the bullet.

If you get into a mess,
just page me, all right.

No, man, no.

- Look, you chose your fate

when you joined the
knife and gun club, okay?

- All right man,
let's try to do this.

- Try?

Man.

Be gentle.

- His father's about
the same thing.

I've got on it before.

You know who I am?

- Gotta get off this treadmill.

- Couldn't stay away?

- This is me not being stranger.

I couldn't resist the invitation
to just drop by anytime,

so here I am.

I see you got my desk.

- Principle Carr moved
me into the waiting area.

I fill most new issues now.

- Really?

- The kids wait there.

I guess Principle Carr
had too much paper pushing

to deal with student issues.

She calls me her
first line of defense.

Hello.

We were just talking
about all the paperwork.

- You never told me.

- Well, I can help
you with that.

All of my years of
experience shuffling papers

might come in handy for you.

- You are so sweet,
but I got it.

Good to see you though,
don't be a stranger.

- This is my not
being a stranger.

- Maybe you took on
too much too soon.

Find a quiet place and ask
yourself why you got involved.

Not just the
circumstances of the boy

but why you reached out to him.

And why it is you think,
you're the one to reach Eli.

Get alone with God in prayer.

Get your bearings.

- Thank you.

Here's his chart.

- Thank you.

All right.

Afternoon everyone.

Kalvin, how are we doing?

You see what you're
doing to your parents?

This was serious.

Kalvin, you have
got to stop worrying

your mum and dad so much.

- I was just trying
to make some money.

- Let your father and
I worry about that.

- Kalvin.

Next time you come
into my hospital,

I'd better be because I'm
pulling out your tonsils.

- Every tick on that clock is
another chance to do it again.

Do a U turn.

What do you say?

- Thank you.

- How's that
treadmill feeling now?

- You know, I always tell him,

"Tick tack, do the U turn and
go in the right direction."

- Thank you.

Jess, look, I don't
know what to say.

- You don't have
to say anything.

We'll get through this.

- Listen, you don't understand.

I'm getting better,
just say you'll stay.

- I'm not gonna stay lying
in bed, our baby needs us.

- You're packing up
for the hospital.

I'm sorry, I saw the suitcase.

- You thought I was leaving?

Come here.

- I can't balance
anything right now.

Listen, I will work on my hours.

- That would be great
but you should know,

I married the man I'm
gonna spend forever with.

And besides, these would
give horrific panty lines.

Come here.

Doctor
David Isaac Waters.

- I made it.

- Yes, you did.

Doctor
Mary Schauzen.

- I see you.

Eli.

Lord, thank you for showing
me why you brought Eli to me.

Hold on to them, Lord,
and keep them safe.

- I never thought
this day would happen.

Now I get a chance to see
our son David graduate.

We will be together.

- I'll be waiting
for you in recovery.

You can't get rid of me yet.

It's good to see you.

- I understand if you're mad.

- Relieved.

- Honestly, I came back

because you are the only
one who'll believe me.

It's okay if you don't want to.

- Eli, I want to
be here for you.

- My sister's lost.

The night I helped
Jessica, I lost her.

We've covered this.

- Well, it's can't
hurt to look again.

- She was supposed to just
go home, I built a shelter.

- I'm sure she'll try.

- I'm supposed to
take care of her.

I promised my dad
I'd keep us together.

- Well that's a tall order
for someone so young.

- No, it's not.

- Why did you do it, Eli?

Help Jessica.

- It was the right thing.

- And if she wasn't in the car?

- I needed the money
for us to survive.

- You're trusting me.

Don't you think
that other people

would want to help you too?

- I don't trust you.

I'm glad you care though.

She's my sister,
she's all I have.

And they didn't want
to keep us together.

What would you have done?

- You're a smart kid.

You're not alone.

You don't have to do
this by yourself anymore.

- All I have is a
photo of my dad.

Can't even remember
what my mum looks like.

- Eli.

I have something that I
want to share with you.

I never got to think the person

that gave my husband
a few more years.

What was wrong with him?

He needed a
kidney, a donor allowed him

to see his son graduate
from medical school.

That's cool.

Yes, it was.

- I never wanted to
meet the other driver.

He walked away
from the accident.

Just got out of his
car and walked away.

- When you get to be my age,

what you want to do
doesn't always match up

with what you can do anymore.

- You're taking
me back to juvie.

- No, no, no, that's not it.

- I don't want to
lose anything else.

I have to find her.

- We will.

Your father was the person

that gave my husband
those extra years.

- I didn't forget.

- Your mum was beautiful.

I dug this out of
an old shoe box.

I didn't know that my
husband had discovered

who his donor was.

- My dad?

Man.

Can I keep this photo?

- Yes, yes you can.

We have to both believe
that we're headed

in the right direction,
whatever it is.

- We named him.

Christopher.

Christopher's
a beautiful name.

- Eli.

It turns out that I just
got a few days with my son.

To hold him was amazing.

I just want to say I'm grateful.

- He did the right thing.

- He sure did.

We should pray.

- Yes.

- Eli, come on, let's pray.

Lord, we need your
strength at this time.

- Yes, Lord.

- For ourselves

and for our son Christopher.

Guide
the surgeon's hands

and guide us to
Eli's sister Naomi.

Watch over that
beautiful little girl.

- Teach us to
love, just to love.

And to be loved
while in the world.

- We're gonna do the best
we can to find your sister.

And I know you don't
want to hear this, Eli,

Mrs. Waters here may
be your last chance

to get things right.

- This is gonna help us?

- This is gonna help you.

God has a north for your life.

But you have to put
your trust in Jesus.

- Thanks for everything.

- This compass will
remind you that God

wants to help you to
get where you're going.

We're going to find your sister.

I'll see you in the morning.

And don't climb out the window.

The police is still
looking as well.

Hang in
there, little man.

Daddy loves you.

You have a
beautiful facility here.

- Thanks.

It's actually where we get to
do most of our ministry work.

God's been really good to us.

- Yes, he has.

- Listen Elliot, I really
appreciate you contacting me.

We're gonna do everything
we can to help.

- Thank you.

- How long has she been missing?

- A week yesterday.

- We'll make some phone
calls, see what we can do.

- I'll help in the
search as well.

- If Naomi's out there,
we're gonna find her.

- Thanks.

- You scared me to death.

We scared you.

Chicken?

- You're gonna have to stop
coming in here uninvited

like you still live here.

- Well, I did once live here.

- Is everything okay?

- Doctor told us that the
first six hours are critical

and Christopher's doing great.

I'm
so happy for you.

- I'll hang the pinata.

- Okay, Eli, that's
a bit much, okay?

- Sorry.

- Eli.

Let's stay positive, all right?

We'll find her.

- Understood.

This is it.

I kept coming back but
she didn't show up.

Eli, how long
have you been living here?

- A year maybe.

I just feel like I'm
letting my dad down.

- What is it with dads?

You know, I never felt
like I matched up either.

That's your dad?

That is Papa Waters.

My dad has better teeth.

- Mine has hair.

- Okay.

You know what's crazy?

They'd both probably
be proud of us.

But somehow this is
not enough, right?

Look, you need anything
else before we leave?

- I just wish I had
more time with him.

But it's cool that he
helped your dad out.

- Wait, what?

What are you talking about?

- So, you don't know?

- Didn't know what?

- So you're helping me
because you want to.

- Eli, I'm helping you

for the same reason
you helped my wife.

- I'm glad you feel
like you don't owe me.

- Wait a minute, wait.

Are you trying to say that
your dad was my dad's donor?

Wow.

That's a good word for it.

- I just got off third shift.

- I'm sorry if I woke you,
I appreciate your time.

I know it's tough

but we got the whole neighbourhood looking,
all right?

I know we'll find her.

- That's what I keep
telling myself but I...

- Hey, well, don't
stop telling yourself.

Look, there they are.

Hey guys.

Hey!

How's it going?

- Hey sweetie, hey mama.

- Hey sweetheart.

- Do you guys need
anything, water, food?

- No, no, we're fine actually.

The volunteers came
and brought us lunch

so everybody's good.

- Okay.

- He's not eating.

- Sweetie, you're
gonna have to eat

or else I'm gonna
get out of this car

and come and hug
you until you do.

- I'm good.

- Don't worry about him.

- All right.

He's gonna
be a great father.

- Yes, he is.

- Okay?

It's only a matter of time.

Eli, this is the
house you grew up in.

Look, you don't
have to go in there.

I can get somebody else from
the team to take this one.

- Takes me a bit,
everyone's in such a hurry.

Run here, run there,
what's the point in my age.

Suddenly no hurry?

Hey I got beans on.

You're selling something
'cause I don't want it.

- No, no, we're not
selling anything.

- Hey, hey, hey.

I ain't got nothing to rob for.

- It's nothing like that, ma'am.

Listen, I'm David, David Waters.

And this is Eli, Eli.

- Well David and Eli
Eli, what's you want?

Like I said I got beans on.

- Just want to know if
you've seen this girl.

She said you'd be coming.

She's inside.

- Eli.

Lovely young girl, not
like him, well mannered.

Come on in.

Why did you come here?

- You said come home.

I did, didn't I?

Yeah,
you said come home.

Come here, I
wanna show you something.

- We're having
beans, you want some?

- No, thank you.

- I got plenty, baking,
butter and pepper.

That's my special way of
doing it, my secret way.

- Listen, I want to thank you

for taking such
good care of Naomi.

- As if she were one of my own.

- Well, this was
her house, you know.

- Of course I know that.

You think I'd stuck
her in a corner

and told her to be quiet?

Sweet little girl,
just like my girl.

- You know what, I think
I will have those beans.

- This is where mum read
you bedtime stories.

Do you remember?

- Not really.

- Here they are.

- I miss them.

- I do too.

- Hey babe, we found her.

She's fine, they're both fine.

- They found her.

Suzanne.

- Yeah, we'll be back
in about an hour, okay?

We're about to have some beans.

Beans?

- Yes, beans.

I'll explain later, okay?

Just let everybody
know, love you.

How are you doing, beautiful?

I'm David, I've heard
a lot about you.

- All right, ready
for those beans.

- Let me get that.

How's that baby?

Well, doing well.

- Why don't you come
help the young lady out?

- I'm sure nothing
here will fit me.

- I'm sorry about that.

- Any more on the car?

- The trunk is open.

- Kid gloves, bro.

- I didn't there were
breakables in the clothes.

- Lifetime.

Thank you.

- It's a big step
for you Mrs. Waters.

- How did you know?

- We appreciate you trusting us

with such an important
part of your life.

- He would have wanted this.

- Every little bit counts.

- Your church has been
such a great help.

- We're blessed.

- Can you hold on
to these for me?

- I'd be honored.

- I know where you live.

All rise for the
honorable judge, James Lee.

- You may be seated.

This is about as
odd as it comes.

I didn't think this
would end here.

Ms. Waters.

- Mrs. Waters.

- Mrs.

Son,

do you realize the
importance of the opportunity

that you're being afforded?

- I do, sir.

- I'm suspending
the current sentence

to three years probation.

My goodness.

- But if the
probation is violated,

five years will be
served as an adult.

Is that understood?

- That's a good deal.

Your honor, he accepts.

Yes.

It's
going to work out.

- And now for the
fun part of my job.

Are the adoptive parents here?

- Yes, sir, we are.

- Adoptive?

- Eli and Naomi,
soon to be Waters,

would you walk with your
adoptive parents up to the bench?

Mrs. Waters, would you
come up too please?

Since you're the reason
we're all here today.

You didn't know this was
going to happen, did you?

- No, I didn't know.

- See what all you've created?

By the power invested in me by
the Commonwealth of Virginia,

I declare you a family.

Thanks.

- Congratulations, baby.

We're a family now.

- I'm so happy for you.

- You're ready?

Let's go.

Everything's
going to work out.

- I love you baby.

I love you mum.

I'm so proud of you.

I've got Christopher.

Well, here we go.

Watch your step.
