this magic trick right here.

Why you out here bothering me?

- Let's go, mom. - I'm all right.

Come on, I'll help you out mom.
You don't understand the game you're playing.
Come on, you need your medicine.
Come on.
Gosh. All right here I go.
Come on.
Are you gonna move or not? Come on, man.
Look at you, mommy.
I'm great. I'm all right.
Come on, like.
I'm all right.
See you, all right?
I can't take that medicine shit.
Mom, you need your medicine.
No, I don't.
Rachel. No, I don't not.
You're not listening to me.
Mom, you can't be out here.
It's not safe out here, mom.
I'm... My friends is out here.
I got, I got Adam and I got Elijah and Daniel.
Like they my...
They are good. They're good people.
Mom, I'm your daughter, mom
I need you.
- I can't. - Come on.
You can't be making me take that medicine.
You don't know what they did to me in that medicine.
You dunno, Rachel, you dunno what they did to me!
Look at you mom, stop!
Come on.
Hey Daniel, come up and watch this.
- Today, man. Today, Elijah. - All right. Who be winning?
I'ma show you this magic trick.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Did you see?
You cheating all day man.
Did you see that?
Oh man, you stop that shit man.
Man, I'm setting this thing up...
I ain't got time playing with you, Elijah man.
You play with yourself.
- Man, you're a loser anyway. - I gotta go. I gotta go, man.
You been a loser all the time.
What side I should use today, young in'?
Man, you used that way yesterday.
What the? With food?
Yeah.
Man, $40 off Broad Street up from crack.
- I'ma give you some... - Check this out,
when you get me some of that money
from the white folks down there, bring me back a coffee.
- I ain't bring you back shit. - Large, creamy with sugar.
Daniel, you want somethin' man?
I got you.
I ain't bring you back nothin'.
You know, we gotta see the end and the beginning.
So what that means is that the decisions that we make,
we got to plan them before time.
We got to be about 10 steps ahead of each situation.
See Adam, Adam was a reactor.
I'm thinking.
He got fooled by the squares. He couldn't see.
So it's like being colorblind in life.
Once an individual already have you whipped
by saying particular things that deals with the psyche,
you know what happens?
It take you off the square.
You no more in the balance. The equilibrium is off.
See, he wasn't paying attention to the water in his ears.
He had too much water behind the ears
than have that water in the ears as it's supposed
to be necessary to control his balance.
See, I was hitting him off with situations
like this where I was already playing with his mind.
But see, he couldn't understand.
He was thinking about robbing.
He was thinking about something real slick to say.
I asked him for the coffee, he'll bring the coffee back.
You know why he'll bring the coffee back?
'Cause he's Adam.
Hey y'all.
Can I stay with you two tonight?
Who you?
I'm John.
I'm Elijah, John.
This is Daniel.
It's nice meetin' you.
Nice to meet you guys.
You ain't got no place to go?
Nowhere.
You more than welcome.
Shared space over here, man.
Thank you.
Bless your hearts guys. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Who you come from, John?
West Coast.
What part of the West?
California, man.
You been traveling for a long time?
Too long, too long.
How long you been on these streets?
More than I want to think about.
What's your angle? You on drugs or something there, John?
I'm trying to get off it, man.
Trying to get clean.
You don't do that stealing, do you, John?
No.
We don't allow thieves around here.
No, sir.
What do you think, Daniel?
He can stay.
Our home is everybodys.
Thank you. Both of you.
Bless your hearts.
Daniel think you cool, then I think you cool.
You gon' go ahead and get something
to eat pretty soon there, John.
You're more than welcome.
Oh, food.
Yes, please.
Last time you ate there, John?
I don't know.
- I don't know. - It's been that long?
Couple days.
Yeah.
Go ahead and utilize that blanket.
Get yourself warm.
You all right, John?
I'm cold.
I'm cold, man.
Here's your blanket.
Thank you. Thank you.
You okay?
Mm-hmm.
I know.
You know...
You know, it seems like,
it just yesterday,
that we lost him.
I mean, have you really thought about it?
We were all in that car accident.
All of us.
But he's the only one that died.
Do you ever think about it?
Day never go by I don't think about it.
I even think about the fucking driver.
I try not to let it overwhelm me.
'Cause it'd fucking kill me.
You know he...
Sure he is in a better place.
It'll be alright.
Have you guys seen this kid named Daniel?
Man who the hell is you?
My name is Jacob. I'm a child custody agent.
What you doin' coming around here
like you own somethin'?
Sir, I'm just looking for a kid named Daniel.
I've been chasing him for a week.
I was hoping if you guys had seen him.
Man, we haven't seen shit, dude.
There's a monetary reward.
A reward?
Yes. This is my card.
If you see him.
- Let me see that card. - My number's on there.
If I happen to see him, I give you a call.
Okay. Thank you.
Calling that joker?
That was a close one there, Daniel.
Come on out.
He's gone.
That was real close one.
Daniel, you know I'll protect you as long as you need me.
I got your back.
Thank you, Elijah.
Watch that joker.
'Cause there's something about him I don't like.
And I'm about to go get me some coffee.
You hear me there, Daniel?
Babe?
Yeah?
You dressed?
Why?
- Hey. - Hey.
I got someone you gotta meet.
Who do you want me to meet now?
Wait a minute.
Come.
Hey.
It's Daniel.
I must...
- It's Daniel. - Daniel?
It's the kid I was telling you
- about the other night. - Oh, hi.
It's so nice to meet you, Daniel.
Oh my God.
Are you hungry?
You want anything to eat or drink?
Well, since Mr. Gabe ain't take me to McDonald's,
I guess I could eat somethin'.
Man you don't need that poison anyway.
You didn't take him to McDonald's?
No, I got caught up.
Well look, we got something better than McDonald's.
So, can you take him to wash his hands?
And I'll make you a plate, okay?
All right.
Come on. I'll show you where the bathroom at.
It sure smells good.
Oh, it's gonna taste even better.
I bet.
You take the big piece.
Yeah.
So Daniel, since you're our special guest,
would you like to bless the food?
Sure.
Okay.
Father God, we want to thank you for this gathering.
Thank you for the taste buds on our tongue
so we can take this food.
And I want you to bless Sarah and Gabriel
with all of their wishes
and let them know that you're here and answer all prayers.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
- Amen. - Amen.
So, how's the taste?
It's good.
Good. Good
So,
Daniel,
what school do you go to?
I don't go to the school.
Okay.
You know, it has to be really tough,
you know, out there on the streets.
I mean, I know it's dangerous.
Are you scared?
Mm-hmm.
I have no relatives and my parents are dead.
So, I'm nobody's son.
Baby, baby, baby.
See you. Be back.
Baby?
Baby, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Daniel reminds me of our son at that age.
Come on, baby.
Stop this, please.
Daniel is gone.
He's gone, baby.
Please stop.
He's so much like our son.
I mean, the way he hugged us.
The way he talks.
Yeah. I see the similarities.
But he's not our son.
It's not our Daniel, baby.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me.
Our son is in heaven with God.
Okay?
So stop, okay?
Okay.
And get yourself together.
Let's go back in there,
and entertain our guest.
Okay?
Okay.
Come on.
I'll give you nice massage after dinner, right?
Okay.
Come on. It's all good.
Shit.
It's gonna be a winter this one in Philly, man.
You know the winters in Philly ain't no joke.
You hear me?
I ain't gonna be out here this winter.
No, not me, Daniel.
I'ma get that job.
I'ma get a job.
I don't care what I gotta do.
My days of stealin' and hustlin' in these streets
is coming to a end.
But listen, what you gonna do this winter, man?
I don't really want you out here, man.
I'm good, man.
God keep me warm.
Here you go with this God shit, little man.
Listen.
I know God gon' keep you warm, man.
But a bed, some covers
and some heat gon' keep you alive this winter.
You understand?
I'm telling you man.
You ain't gotta worry about me.
God's got me.

It's all about how you playing the game though.
Hey Adam,

They're devils. They're devilry.
Oh, Elijah.
Go ahead, man.
We just playing a little click clack.
You always want to kill the vibe.
Man, 'cause he ain't got no dice money tonight.

But listen, I'ma ask you something.
Not to be all in your business, but how you get here?
I was sent.

With Eli.
You ain't sleeping, Elijah. Wake up.
Don't be coming over here with that tomfoolery.
That deviltry.
Always talking about the devil.
The devil, the devil, the devil.
First and foremost, one thing about that deviltry,
it ain't got no code.
It ain't black, white, brown, blue.
It ain't got no color.
Yeah, that ain't what the white cop told me
that locked my ass up.
See, the thing about it is that some people don't know
who they are.
So they're easy to be used.
Person like a vessel.
Like a vase.
Mm.
You fill it up with what you choose to fill it up with.
A lot of these people been filled up with hatred.
For generations.
And it's a shame that our own people are following
behind things such as that and do more harm to themselves
than what a white man could ever did
to him right about then.
That's deep, Elijah.
That's deep.
The Darkest Corner.
Where you get this from?
Don't take my book.
Man, ain't nobody about to take your book, Elijah.
I know the author.
Shit.
Don't you get him in my head.
Put us in a book.
Get us off of this cold ass concrete out here with your ass.

- Listen. - Baby, what's wrong?
Are you good?
Dan will be okay. All right?
We'll keep him in prayer.
What's wrong?
And keep him covered in prayer.
You okay?
I have some good news.
Yeah?
You ready?
Oh yeah?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
All right.
I can't even...
Okay. You ready?
Yes.
We're pregnant.
Oh, you not serious.
Yes.
You not serious.
Are you serious?
I am.
Oh are you serious? Don't play with me like this.
Are you serious?
I am.
Let me see that thing.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Oh my God.
Baby, I told you.
I told you.
I told you. I told you.
Everything is gon' be all right.
Wow.

God, I know my past ain't been squeaky clean.
Might not even be in your favor right now
but, I need some answers today.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm looking for a professor Paul?
Yeah. I'm professor Paul Roberts.
Are you Gabriel?
Yes.
Oh, excellent. Yeah, I'll be right there.
Yeah. I got your emails here.
Have a seat and I'll be right out.
All right, sure thing. Thanks.
Nice to finally meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Yeah, I got your emails.
So, how could I help you?
Oh.
Gotta sit down.
Yeah, I just might need to do that.
This might sound a little crazy, but I think I met an angel.
A kid by the name of Daniel.
Just appeared in my life a few weeks ago.
I mean, I stopped this weird freak guy
from taking advantage of him in the alleyway.
And I asked him, where was your parents?
He told me that he passed and that he was homeless.
And he just also told me that he was nobody's son.
Hmm.
I mean, I brought him home to my wife.
I literally took him in.
You know, we played games together.
He even showed me the alleyway where he was sleeping at.
Introduced me to his friends.
I really took him in.
But the strangest thing happened.
After I went to go look for him,
I went back to every place he took me to
and nobody knew anything about him.
Mm.
It's like he didn't exist.
I mean, it was weird.
I thought I was losing my mind.
I almost checked into the hospital.
And, it was just strange.
Hm.
Let me ask you something.
You believe in angels?
I mean, are they real?
Well, people all over the world have been reporting
unusual encounters with mysterious beings.
Angels in disguise of people.
You know, it seems that they come and bring messages
or they lend a hand.
They lend what's needed at the time.
And then they vanish, you know, without a trace.
Could they be angels?
Could they be guardian angels potentially?
In the scriptures, angels appear often.
In Exodus 23:20 it says, behold,
I send an angel before you to guard you on the way
and bring you to the place that I've prepared.
In Psalm chapter 91, verse 11,
he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
All right.
And this is only a couple out of the dozens of places.
Daniel chapter six verse 22, it says,
my God sent his angel and shut the lion's mouth
and they have not harmed us.
So to answer to your question, do I believe in angels?
Very much. Very much.
That was deep.
I guess you answered my question.
I ain't gon' hold you up.
I appreciate your time.
Yeah, no, it was... anytime.
Yeah. Get in contact with me if you need me for anything.
Yeah.
Thank you, Gabriel.
Yeah. Take it easy.
Yeah, you too.
Wait. One more thing.
Did you know that
you're named after the most powerful angel?
The archangel, Gabriel, in the scriptures.
He's known as the strength of God.
Thanks.
Good morning.
Good morning, baby.
How'd you sleep?
Mm it was just alright.
I had the weirdest dream, though.
I did too.
It felt real.
Me too.
Is that the doorbell?
Yeah.
They so early?
You expecting anyone?
No, man.
It's probably a Jehovah Witness.
You silly.
I'm about to put a sign on the door saying leave us alone.
Yeah, I got it.
A radiant child will appear
and walk amongst us shining his light, wisdom,
and blessings throughout the concrete walls of the ghetto.
The wicked will vanish and the poor will no longer bleed
into the concrete.
The young will blossom and flourish while the old will live
to see another day.
He will only follow the map of God while the voices
of angels whisper in his ear.
His genuine love will overshadow all darkness then,
suddenly,
he will disappear.
