we do is it are we

just kidding ourselves

I mean maybe
when our real job is is

to restore people's
faith give them the

illusion that we
make the sick world

that we live in a
safer place when in

fact nothing could be

further from the truth

[Music]

what makes you
think that girls in a sex

call check the state
database San Diego

sheriff's recently
investigated a

similar religious
group how do you know

it is not a
prostitution ring the

donation for God Engel the group

children of the Lord
called the women

sacred prostitutes
they raised millions

of dollars like that
all over the world

at one point had
over 18 thousand

members the profile of recruits

certainly fits the
cult pattern the

homeless drug
addicts Runaways all

vulnerable to
brainwashing in lured with

promises of a
place to sleep food

acceptance any idea
who is running these

girls the group took off before the San

Diego Sheriff's
Sound out but the

mother of one girl
kelly stark says a group

made her daughter
disappear they are

afraid she might've
been murdered don't

tell me I have to be a hooker again no

I am signing Jamie
and Bobby oh great

so now I get to be the
hooker no you get to

be a cop in an
undercover investigation

we need to build a solid case of

pandering and
prostitution possibly

kidnapping and murder
maybe using Harper

would be no Sarge

I will be fine good because I need

Harper for an assignment Granger

[Music]

nothing to it just
remember you are

on patrol not a
playground what cop just

want to have fun to

reach it to the video

[Music]

mind if I bum a smoke
sorry I do not have

any but you can have
a free sandwich you

look hungry not for that

you know I think maybe I

dunno what you need

[Music]

who is this what
is it to you Angela

this is Jamie we met
at the Pavilion Laura

you know you are not supposed to

bring people back
here like this you the

warden no I am it is okay isn't it

Solomon I knew
you could help her

of course it is do
not want to go cool off

flora will I get to
know our new friend

here maybe you will
go for a swim later

when you are not
feeling so vulnerable

get Leah I ain't
scared of you but

that is exactly what
you are afraid of

getting real is this
how you welcome all

your guests no but
not all my guests

come here pretending
to be something

they are not like you pretending

to be Hugh Hefner you know

that is not what I am
talking about Jamie

just like you and I
both know the real

reason you are here

[Music]

but I am afraid that
once you get what it

is you are looking
for you will realize it

wasn't really what
you needed look the

only reason why I
came here is because

Laura said I can get hot lucky

for us both your innate honesty

makes you a very bad liar looks

like Laura's the
liar here not me

do not you see
your frustration has

become so and
manageable it renders this

pathetic mask you wear nearly

transparent and the
woman beneath it

defenseless I am
not who you think I am

then we have
something in common like

what you are not who you'd

like to think you are either

come sit with me
Jamie I will even allow

you to think you
are fooling me a little

longer it helps you

stop fooling yourself

you are too beautiful a

person to be in so much pain

[Music]

he is well the group's running a

two-story house around the corner Jamie

got in yeah well hopefully

not in over her head

[Music]

um I do not understand a

purse with a serial number

forgive him ladies he is never shopped at

Gucci before um how

much cash was she carrying

you couldn't depend
on it is your mom

ten thousand dollars
or yen tell us why was

she carrying that
much shopping spree

in Japan everything
goes to three times

more yeah but

flights and hotels are

expensive why
come over here Tokyo

has no big movie stars
or David Hasselhoff

well I guess that is all for now

Thanks hey but uh do not you worry uh-huh

we'll be on top of
this guy we are gonna

catch him do you
mind telling me why you

keep laughing at
me she says you look

handsome like a
band with speech room

do not let her got
it I was doing drugs

in and out of
hospitals I was dealing

meth in Bakersfield
Jamie for different

reasons everyone
here was once headed

down a path of pain
and despair do you

even know why you
took that first wrong

turn look I told
you I do not need

group therapy I need
to get high before

someone saved me made me realize

that I was worth
saving I was an alcoholic

myself committing slow-motion suicide

see my fear and
confusion made me seek

to block out the
pain instead of finding

the source you know

all about that do not you

I am not in pain I am
bored bored with the

person you become
the one others expect

you to be while
the real you cries

out to be heard isn't
that really why you

came here Jim

in the end only
love can save the

lives and souls around
us by accepting a

message of love
rather than hate and

spreading it to the
world we've all been

healed you will be too

I promise how by
making love with the

lost souls out there
and sharing God's

healing power making
love with strangers

there are no strangers
out there we are

all brothers and
sisters so you are

telling me that by
having sex with my

brothers and
sisters then I will find

happiness you think
there's something

wrong with that well I am not a [ __ ]

isn't it interesting
how you made

the leap from
sharing love to viewing

herself as a [ __ ]
I didn't say Jamie

kissing in public
was once considered

deplorable just like
divorce premarital

sex being gay in
this culture of despair

and denial often what should be

beautiful gets
twisted into something

negative something shameful

teller Angela hey the money

I bring in by sharing love

can beat starving people I am

doing something I am proud of

amen

so Jamie are you with us

[Music]

I am really glad we became

friends I love you so much

[Music]

I know you love me too even

though you are
afraid to show it I

just do not think
that people can love

someone that quick
pencil once you

realize Solomon's
love for you it was

real good change
like we all did never

really felt that until I met

him what about your parents

no the doctors keep
me prisoner and

got me so full of
poison I couldn't even

think straight so I
ran away Solomon got

me he got me clean
saved my life so you

went with him of
your own free will of

course he always
gives us the choice

always even with all the other girls

Salman believes
you can't be happy

unless you have
control of your own

destiny so if you
decided not to follow

him he'd be sad I
guess at the time with

Kali he knew the best

thing for her was to be

with us

did you hear that

No so what about this girl Kali the

dolphin

sometimes I hear them singing to

each other when the
rapture comes they'll

inherit the earth and we'll

all be taken up into disguise

come on let's go talk to her

[Music]

[Music]

Oh bro check in the back Joe

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

it is just rate I am
never gonna get my

chance with Kiko so
are we dealing with

a sex cult I do not
know if cult is the

right word I mean
they are actually doing

charity work with the money and

Solomon seems to
truly be helping people

hello he is a pimp technically but Eagle

II prostitution is a low-grade

misdemeanor in these

girls pandering is a felony

conspiring to get
somebody to commit

a crime now what
about this girl who

disappeared Kelly
Stark well I am working

on it but the others
if anything they

were in worse condition before they met

Solomon I think
he actually cares for

them so he turns
them into hookers it's

a little more
complicated than that

not from the Lost
perspect our flawless

system of justice
Jamie if you can't go

through with this I
will be happy to have

TC pull you no just
tell me how we are

playing it and you
promise to take care

of me I promise as
long as you are truly

ready to join our
family I am just tell

me what I gotta
do it is too early

no it is all right
Jamie's realized that

it is time for her to change her

allegiances to the
side that doesn't

merely profess to want

to help but has committed

body and soul to spreading

the miracle of God's love

[Music]

why she misses when did you have

time to make all these
well the girls were

napping they need to

rest for the work they do

the work you will be doing

what about him
too short all men are

equal in God's eyes
well then he is never

been in a Lakers locker huh

I thought you wanted to

spread the miracle
I do I am sorry

take him to the
Waverider motel you have

nothing to be afraid
of because I will be

right next to her

[Music]

what are you doing
hearing $12,000 in

cash here that Ghost
gave me that money

to pay for the hotels
what am I going to

do do not worry I
will get it back I want

to believe you but
are you also said you

would protect me
and no but if I lose my

job okay sit down
okay look now that

we have this photo
from the ATM camera

this guy's days are
numbered and if you

want I will even talk
to your boss for you

I can't even pay
for my own food now

let me take you to
dinner it is the least I

can do

I do not know I do
not know you very well

well that is what I
am hoping to change

[Music]

[Music]

500 are all donations this good

everyone's different
this is yours but

you wanted me to get it for

you not for me for God's work

use it to send out
his message of love

but I do not know
how you will figure it

out you have a good
heart Jamie caring

generous trust your
heart as I now do do

you unlike the others you have

trusted your life
with trusts based on

meaningless codes and

motives devoid of spirit

they are truly safe
with me beside

you truly trust and
will not betray you

and I know you feel it

[Music]

thank you

hey have you uh have you seen this guy

so tell me about your family

there's not much
to say they weren't

around the rice - you stepped out foster

parent

what was the greatest
lesson your tight

fear that fear feels
like being held in

dark water being
pushed under drowning

yes and sometimes
you feel the panic

threatening to overwhelm you and

then the despair fall
is because there's no

one there to save you

[Music]

how did you escape ice added point-blank

she fell on me you had no

choice he did things to me

my little sister Jenny
was next and you

had to protect her
because you loved her

[Music]

and then they punished you

[Music]

their sister Jenny
what has she done

with herself she
got herself into some

trouble I do not
know so you saved

her life so she could
just throw it away

make me your sister

[Music]

pretend ever

[Music]

talk to me since

what would you tell me

[Music]

there's nothing

no you are mad cuz you had to go away no

I was protecting you well I

didn't need your help you were

next you would have died oh yeah

that is such a lie there
was no one else to

protect us oh so
I guess that is my

fault huh admit it you
hate my guts you've

always hated me I was

eternal I saved your life

you ruined mine why did you ruin my life

[Music]

why didn't he take
the money I do not

know the room was
dark maybe he could

tell me and Cruz
weren't really believe

me you two are very
convincing it is like

he knew not to
take the money he is

got this weird intuition
he reads people

sees into them are you

telling me he is psychic

maybe he just psychologically

manipulates those
who are vulnerable

look sergeant I
know that what he

is doing seems
illegal is illegal Jesus

hung out with the sinners the horse

Jaime what he is
doing is wrong why

because it is against
the law yes officer

the law is a bunch
of black and white

words written for a
gray world he really

makes these women
happy Jaime you

were supposed to
bust this guy not join his

cult Solomon is not evil he got Laura

Mason off drugs she was on

antipsychotics for
extreme schizophrenia

and now she is in
real danger thanks to

this healer who
seduced her away from

the family who loves her

[Music]

excuse me have you seen him

you seen this guy

how's your search going

smash who knows huh come on double-dip a

body what do not
tell me you know this

guy okay you know
this guy yeah he comes

here every day well

about he is a big
fan of pistachio fudge

you been at the

beach why oh we have
a new visitor here I'd

like for you to meet

[Music]

Soloman shares his love

with everyone do not be jealous

I will try but he is
so special doesn't it

upset you every
time there's a new girl

take away his
attentions just protective

strangers do not always
understand how we

live but I will not let
anyone or anything

destroy the beauty
that we have here cuz

that what happened
to Kelly Stark Laura

tell you about her
fool the other well

do not ever mention
her name again

especially not in
front of Solomon why

she came from an
abusive home he started

coming after her
after us so when she

disappeared Solomon
blamed himself

for not keeping a
closer eye on her

[Music]

you really distrust
me this much no

I distrust him he
is got the tongue of

the devil Jamie he
could talk a nun into

a lap dance so you
are taking the case

away from me he is got you spellbound

Jamie like I said no trust

just like Solomon said watch yourself

I am wearing a wire that is

giving you a direct

order Jamie I need help

with the sandwiches coming

now all they can get

us for some petty
misdemeanor stuff but

you hurt a cop it
is prison how do

you now go ahead Jerry something

[Music]

because I am a cop - ah yes we know about

everything you
lied to me look I was

just trying to say
you were my friend

I am sorry

[Music]

Oh

person Angela you do not

want to hurt her do
not tell me what I am

or what I want you

ruined everything no
you will if you make

things worse Angela she is rides to come

I am gonna call
the lieutenant no the

wire remember they

if you do not let
me make a phone

be an army of cops

out there before you know it

[Music]

Galloway it is me James Strickland you'll

Cory okay we are
both fine give me

a few minutes I
think I can diffuse the

situation fine but
I will only give me

ten minutes let's
see if you can't get a

hold of Swat in the back if you

keep as far away as possible

I am disappointed new Jamie

disappointment
isn't worth killing over

but it is deadly
and it is been killing

you for a long time
now judging me won't

change anything if in the end it

destroys everything
that you have worked

for

[Music]

let it go Angela no we

can't I said let her go

ah they are not
taking me back there

again Laura go back
to doctors haven't

drugs you need your medicine no

that is what hurt me
tell her yeah tell her

she is fine she
is not fine look at

her do not let her
kill over a lie I didn't

lied to her until
this she was happy

you know that I also
know that if she kills

anyone they are gonna come up to you

[Music]

Laura put down the knife

I want to stay with you

I love him too

[Music]

look I will make
sure that no one

ever hurts you and so will Jamie

[Music]

[Music]

if you really knew
all along you were a

cop why did you let
you stay to make us

understand how
can you be so sure

you would well I think
that he maybe hoped

for my sake because he believes

what he is doing is
right do you I believe

that some of what he did wasn't

legal well he'll have
20 years from the

pandering charges
to contemplate our

laws versus his know
he is gonna get away

with it how can you be so sure

all he'll need is
one female juror

[Music]

[Music]

you cannot believe
how happy I was when

you called and said
you have coffee with

me well you have
been so nice to me

so here Ike well
trying is not the same

succeeding and I am not gonna give up on

in Japan it is impolite to stand

a woman's what did you get this

she was in on it

[Music]

it matches the crime photos from San

Francisco but why
did he robber they

staged it so I would
suspect to hers ah

I can't believe
I fell for I guess

sometimes we surprised ourselves

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
