TITLE/ DISTRIBUTION CREDIT/ SOUND CREDIT 
FADE IN/ LS SHOT 


The scene opens in the kitchen where Gina and King (Renner Snide) are struggling over Yahreh. Yahreh is sitting in his highchair. 

FS GINA 
Gina is laying on the floor with marks on her face where King had slapped her while they struggled. A small amount of blood coming from the injuries of the beating she took trying to keep him from coming into the kitchen. 

CU GINA 
“No, you can’t have my baby!”  
Gina screamed. 

CU YAHREH 
Yahreh looks up at the man standing in front of him. Kings hands come into frame pulling him up and out of the highchair with Gina laying on the floor in the background. While King picks Yahreh up and begins to pull him up and out of the highchair, underneath him, the camera focuses on Gina in the background. Shock is apparent on her face. Yahrehs advancement up out of the chair stops before leaving the frame. 

MS KING  
King stops before pulling Yahreh from the highchair and looks at the young child. 

CU YAHREH 
Yahreh looks at King, staring into his eyes.  

CU KING, ZOOM OUT 
Kings expression changes from hatred to doubt, as if he is thinking about letting Yahreh go. Pushing the warning aside, he continues to pull Yahreh toward him as the camera zooms out. He places Yahreh under his arm, carrying him, then turns to look in Ginas direction. 

FS GINA 
Gina, weak and bleeding, is holding onto the side of the counter finding the strength to stand up.  
  
TWO-SHOT   
Gina is begging and pleading with King.  

MOVING SHOT 
King starts walking through the house holding Yahreh. Gina follows him. 

GINA: 


“Please, don’t take him. Take me. I’m the one you’re mad at. He’s only a child.”  

Gina said sobbing between each word.  

YAHREH: 
Yahreh picked up on the emotion and stretched his arms out to her saying,  
“Momma.” 


KING: 
“Your son for mine.”  

King said and walked out the front door that was already open. 

FS GINA 
Gina almost fainted. Leaning up against the wall she decides to sit down sobbing on the floor. Within the sobs, a prayer with groaning sent straight to heaven’s door. Her supplication was heartfelt and urgent. Her tears gathered. Her supplication went up into heaven as quickly as her prayer was given.  


VOICE-OVER, WADE: 
“After the last word was said, she called me and told me what happened. I guess it would be to your benefit if I take you back to understand the seriousness of this situation and the things God reveals. Let’s begin when Gina’s story went viral.”
