[gentle music plays]
[woman] Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
However, it doesn't always come with fairy tales and flowers.
Sometimes, it shows up in the most unexpected
and unconventional ways.
There's an old hymn that says,
"God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform."
Well, finding love, true love, is one of God's greatest wonders.
Every love story has a beginning.
But the greatest ones,
they just don't start with "happily ever after."
They start with truth, with trust, and sometimes tragedy.
Let me tell you a love story
straight from the Book of Ruth.
This is Ruth Moably.
-[host speaking indistinctly] -[crowd cheering]
Ruth's mother abandoned her
on the steps of a church when she was five years old.
Yet she persevered
and made it further than anyone thought she could.
[host speaking indistinctly]
Ruth always loved to sing, but couldn't find the song in her spirit.
She was grappling with who she really was and who everyone else wanted her to be.
Before I go any further,
I want to take the time to shout out my man Syrus Jordan in the building,
from Ice Grill Records.
[people cheer]
And also, I gotta shout out, my man's in the building.
What up, Jermaine Dupri? JD, what up?
[people cheering]
Lord, please, grant us with the ability to be able to connect with the audience.
And let the glory be yours, and only yours.
Lord, please give us--
Can I get a little glory too, God?
I'm the one in these six-inch heels. Amen.
[host] Give me some of that energy…
Excuse me. Ma, you're gonna love her, okay?
-Just you wait. -[hip-hop beat plays]

♪ Work, baby ♪
[woman] The first time I heard Ruth sing,
let's just say I was not impressed.
My son Marlon thought the world of her.

[woman] They'd only been dating for a few months.
I couldn't see what he saw in her.
[vocalizing]
-[crowd cheering] -[host] Oh yeah. Y'all make some noise.
Give it up! Give it up!
[woman] They say pretty is as pretty does.
I thought she was just another pretty girl.
[breathing heavily] Girl, we about to blow up.
[laughs]
Here you go, thank you.
Ruth, really?
There's men throwing money at us like we about to get naked, Bree.
It's about half our rent! Mm!
Look at this.
Hey, the show was dope, babe.
[Ruth] Thank you.
I'm so proud of you.
[pants]
Oh, Marlon didn't tell me y'all were coming.
Marlon's been raving about you.
And-- And we wanted to see you in your element.
[chuckles] Sublime.
Isn't that right, honey?
We should get going, hmm?
Uh, yes, thank you for coming. I can actually walk you two out.
No need. Stay… in your element.
[Marlon] Ma.
[Syrus] You two killed it tonight.
[Breana] What's up?
How y'all doing? I'm Syrus Jordan, their manager.
Thanks for coming out.
You must be Marlon in the flesh. What's up, bro?
[Syrus grunts]
Hey, better make sure you're taking good care of this superstar now.
[Marlon chuckles]
Do not let her get to you. Tsk.
-[Syrus] Hey, y'all decent? -[Breana] Yeah.
[Syrus] Ladies…
-Jermaine Dupri. -[Breana] Oh!
-So nice to meet you. I'm Breana. -Nice to meet you.
This my homegirl from way back, and this is Ruth.
I actually found her at a Stop & Dash.
And then one day, I heard this voice.
It was the most beautiful voice I ever heard.
I looked around, and what do I see?
Ruth stacking shelves like it meant something.
You two are the whole package.
And I'm thinking, So So Def could be your future home.
[Breana] So So Def. That's what we doing!
[squeals excitedly]
JD's gonna be back in a few weeks,
he'll pop in to one of y'all's sessions.
-Nice to meet you, ladies. -Nice to meet you too.
404 gonna put you on the map.
-For sure. I'mma holla. -Yes.
-Like, did he mean that? -Hey, Bree.
-What? -Give us a minute.
[Breana] Okay.
I'll see you at home, girl.
You didn't even eat your food yet.
Let me get it for you.
My dad used to say,
"Make and take by any force necessary."
[tense music plays]
[Syrus clears throat]
404 is already a force.
All that's left to do is take.
And that's what we're going to do.
[door opens]
Hey, boss.
Somebody outside wanna holla at you.
Give me a minute.
I'll see you in the studio tomorrow, okay?
[Marlon] It's crazy you're even talking about this.
404 is a good thing.
-Who cares what my mom thinks? -This is not about your mom.
Well, if it's any consolation, you have more in common with her than you think.
[scoffs]
She helped my dad build the business. Look where it got her.
It's the work ethic.
Like yours.
You worked so hard for this.
Don't just throw away your voice, not right before your big break.
I'm not throwing anything away.
I don't need you making me doubt how I'm feeling.
I need-- I need somebody to encourage me.
[woman] You know I'm right.
Marlon should be dating better,
given the way we reared him.
Tsk. [sighs deeply]
I don't know why he can't be like his older brother.
[gentle music plays]
God rest his soul.
Marlon is his own man.
And I think you're being judgmental.
And you were a little bit rude, my dear.
One of the reasons you married me
instead of those other little silly women running around Pegram,
"Ooh, I wonder what Eli thinks. Ooh, I wonder what Eli's doing,"
is because I have my own opinions.
Mm-hmm. And I could use a little bit of that right now.
-What? -Come here.
-Oh no, no. -Come here.
-Sir, excuse me, I'm reading my book. -[chuckling]
-I'm expanding my mind. -Ah, ah, ah.
-Do you feel that? -Ooh!
Hmm?
-I do. -Mm.
[both chuckling]
It's a miracle.
[both laughing]
Come here.
-Oh yes, my beloved girl. -Mm.
[music fades]
[Ruth] ♪ You can never dim what I got ♪
Hold on, hold on. The energy's off.
Like, I'm listening to you, and I don't believe you.
You gotta make me believe you.
If I don't believe you, the world's not going to.
-Let's do it again. Come on. -You got this.
[hip-hop beat plays]

[producer] Yeah.

-[Breana] Okay. -♪ I got money… ♪
[sighs] Um…
[music stops]
-[producer] Yo. -I need a break.
Just give us a few minutes.
[producer sighs] This is crazy.
Sounded good to me.
So, now we're lying to each other?
[gloomy music plays]
You just ain't warmed up yet.
[chuckles]
Bree, you're a poet.
You used to write about love,
empowerment, social consciousness.
I knew my path ever since I could remember,
but this, this ain't it.
-I'mma come in there. -Okay.
What's up?
Bree, our music,
those songs we used to make up on that little…
-$12 tape recorder. -That tape recorder.
[both chuckle]
Those songs came from here for both of us.
Look, I'm trying to get paid now.
But at what cost, Bree?
Because if we go this route, Sy will own us.
When do we get to be who we are?
Who we are?
We live in a rundown building in Grove Park,
and we shop at the discount store.
That's who we are.
You know all this praying you talking about?
"What God gonna do for us? What God gonna--"
We need to do our part.
We gotta do something.
This is our chance to change our lives.
Like, we're making our first album. We could be with So So Def.
If that ain't God, then what is?
I don't know, I just feel like God is leading me somewhere else.
-Where else? -I can't do this.
Wait. Boo, what?
-What do you mean? -I quit.
Ruth, don't do this. Ruth.
[hop-hop music playing over stereo]
♪ Two hundred at the door What it need to be ♪
♪ If I don't like the view… ♪
[knocks]
You were supposed to be recording.
Can we talk?
[lowers volume]
Look, I thought about what you said, and, uh…
I don't want to seem ungrateful,
but 404 just isn't the right fit for me anymore.
Let me show you something.
[tense music plays]
You know how hard I had to work to get us here?
We're about to get an eight-figure deal from Jermaine Dupri.
Look at this.
I paid your rent every time you were short.
I got you a car to get you off the bus.
I did this all by myself for three years.
I'm $250,000 in the hole, Ruth.
Look, there's $3,000 in here, along with my key to the Honda.
$3,000?
And I promise I'll make monthly payments until you get back all that you invested.
That's not even a dent in what I invested into you.
So, listen to me when I say this.
I would really, really advise you not to do this.
You need to fulfill your contractual obligations to me,
and then we're good.
Then you do what you want.
I appreciate all that you've done for me, Sy.
[woman] Letting go of something that doesn't fit you can free you.
And Ruth was about to learn freedom isn't free.
It always comes with a cost.
[yawning]
-[line ringing] -[gentle music plays]
[grunts softly]
[woman] Hello.
Marlon?
It-- It's Naomi Evans.
I'm at Grady Hospital.
There was an assault. Marlon and Eli…
Miss Naomi, what happened? Are they okay?
[Naomi hums]
They, uh…
They think it was a carjacking.
And, uh…
And they found them,
uh, in Marlon's car at a stoplight.
[Ruth] What happened?
A struggle.
A struggle?
-They were both shot. -[both gasp]
-Oh my God. -Shot?
[Naomi] Mm-hmm.
Love is patient and kind,
but love can also break your heart.
Mrs. Evans?
I'm Dr. Annalise Feldman.
We did everything we could for your husband and son.
But neither of them pulled through.
[dramatic sting]
[Ruth gasps softly]
[Dr. Feldman] I'm so sorry for your losses.
[melancholy music playing]
[voice fading] We have one of our grief counselors…
[ethereal vocalizing]
I strongly encourage you to seek out these services during this time.
[sobbing]
[Dr. Feldman] I know it's incredibly difficult.
I'm so sorry.
[sobbing loudly]
[Dr. Feldman] Sorry. I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
[Naomi] I never thought I'd see the day
when I would bury my husband and son at the same time.
-[music fades] -[indistinct conversations]
[man] I'm so sorry to tell you this.
This is urgent.
Eli didn't want you to know.
-He… thought he could turn things around. -[gloomy music plays]
When investors started pulling out of the Midtown project, he…
he leveraged everything.
This house, vehicles, possessions.
This… is a notice of intent to foreclose.
It's dated three months ago.
How… How could I not have known?
I'm so sorry to tell you this now.
I've… I've been trying to get in touch with you.
There will be an auction.
The good news, you still have your old house in Pegram, Tennessee.
Eli kept it in your name
so no bank could touch it.
[exhales]
I'm happy y'all made it out.
Okay. Let me know if you need anything.
What are you doing here?
I just came to pay my respects.
You mind if I have a seat?
[Syrus breathes deeply]
[sighs]
I really am sorry to hear about your loss.
Marlon seemed like a good dude, for real.
He was.
Funerals always seem like a…
a movie to me.
What?
Remember that scene in Goodfellas when they burnt the restaurant down?
Simple plan to collect.
No one hurt.
A carjacking is not as cinematic.
But it's still meant to be simple.
Nobody was supposed to be hurt, Ruth.
But these things do go wrong sometimes.
And I'm sorry, Ruth.
But I had to get through to you.
And now is the part where I collect.
Collect what?
You don't think I have any debts? Dreams of my own?
This was the biggest deal of my life. My ticket out.
And nobody is going to take that from me.
Sy, is this a joke?
This is crazy.
And anything that you try to build outside of this,
I'm going to be right there to collect.
I'll tell the police.
Don't do that.
Or I will take every single thing that you care about. I promise.
Look.
Just get back in the studio.
Or Miss Naomi is next.
[breathing heavily]
[inhales sharply] God, I don't know what to do anymore.
What am I supposed to do?
[shuddering]
[dramatic piano music building slowly]
Please help me. What do I do, God? Please tell me what to do.
Tell me what to do. I don't know what to do anymore.
-[sobbing] -[music intensifies]
Hey, I'm looking for Miss Naomi.
I'm sorry, she's already left.
[sighs]
[gentle piano music plays]
Okay, well, where did she go?
Listen, I really need to find her.
Bus station. On Forsyth.
Forsyth. Okay, thank you. Thank you.
-First bedroom on top of the stairs. -Yes, sir.
[woman over PA] Last call for transfer from Atlanta to Pegram, Tennessee,
boarding now.
[female passenger] Mind if I sit right here?
That one's free. Thank you.
What are you doing here?
I'm going with you.
No, you're not.
Who's going to look after you?
I don't need looking after, little girl. You better get off this bus.
Listen, ma'am,
the only place I'm going is where this bus takes me.
I don't know what you're thinking.
Maybe you're not thinking at all,
but you're not going with me, to Tennessee or anywhere else.
Now, just go home.
I do not need your help.
Do you understand?
[tense music playing]
Where you go, I go.
[mellow, soulful music plays]
[Naomi] I was convinced this little girl had lost her mind.
I told her to leave, but she stayed.
You see, sometimes God's angels don't wait for an invitation.
They show up even when we want to be alone.
♪ So let's live for the ride ♪
[man continues singing soulfully]
[music ends]
[sighs]
[gentle music plays]
[Naomi] Coming back to Pegram felt like opening an old wound.
This house used to be filled with laughter and prayers.
Now, just dust and silence.
[music fades]
-This wardrobe tape is super sticky. -[sighs]
Should do the job.
That won't keep critters out.
Critters? What critters?
Miss Naomi, are you okay?
Did you take your blood pressure medicine today?
You need to eat. You haven't eaten all day.
[exhales] I'll be fine.
Miss Naomi…
[pills rattling]
…I, uh…
It was horrible what happened to them. I'm just…
I'm so sorry. To lose both--
[dramatic music plays]
I am done with you!
[thuds]
[knocking at door]
[music fades]
Miss Naomi, I'm gonna go out and try to find some work.
Got nothing right now. Try Mabel's Flower Shop down the street.
Oh yeah, I already tried there. Uh…
I already tried everywhere.
[men laughing and conversing in distance]
[Ruth sighs]
You're not cut out for this type of work.
You don't know what I'm cut out for.
What, um, type of work is it?
You ever harvested grapes before?
[vehicle horn honks]
[men] All right. There he is.
It's hard physical labor.
There's no shade.
And when it does cool off, that's when the mosquitoes come out.
[man 1] Yeah, they do.
[woman] You coming?
-[Geno] Morning! -[man 1] Hey, Geno.
[Geno] Lucky day! Boss say we need a whole lot more harvesters,
so I need y'all to pack in like family.
[man 2] All heard. Let's go.
[Geno] Come on, jump on up in there.
Need some more people up in here. You trying to do this?
Uh, yeah.
[Geno] All right, now. Go meet the family.
All right, everybody pack it up. Here we go.
[man 3] All right, Big G.
You'll want to ice your hands tonight and soak in the tub.
I'm Lena.
Ruth.
[gentle music plays]
[Naomi] That little girl didn't know nothing about picking grapes,
but that didn't stop her.
Little did she know that going to that vineyard
would put her on a collision course with destiny.
[adventurous music plays]
[Lena] Hey. Cut at the top of the cluster.
[Ruth] Okay.
[tool snipping]
Yeah.
-Ah. -[Lena chuckles softly]
You get a break for lunch and two in between.
Take them or you'll wear yourself out.
Oh, and pay is by the basket,
by weight.
So, the more grapes, the more money.
[Ruth] Mm.
[Geno] I got a few extra hands for you today.
With all them posts you put in,
you're going to need a lot more of them next year.
Yeah, a hundred new vines to plant this January.
Can't quit on this place.
Come on, man, I got you.
-Dry patch here. -[Geno] Ah.
[Naomi] This is Bo Azra, Boaz for short.
He took over the Azra winery when his father Sal died.
Lord bless this fruit.
[Geno] Amen.
[chuckles softly] Amen.
[Geno] Got this one.
[Boaz] Huh.
[gentle music plays]
Who's she?
She was in the lot this morning dressed like that.
You said more harvesters, no prerequisites.
That's what you got.
-[Boaz] What's her name? -[Geno] Don't know.
But she worked through her breaks, and now lunch.
-And you don't know her name? -I saved that for you.
-Of course you did. -Hey.
[pleasant piano music plays]
Hi.
What's your name?
-Ruth. -[Boaz] Ruth.
Well, hello, Ruth.
Would you like some water?
Or, uh… you want to take a break?
I don't want you wearing yourself out. Getting kind of warm out here.
I'm fine, thank you.
-Bills to pay. -Mm.
Okay.
Oh, almost.
So, you want to avoid the shoot. Cut right here at the stem.
-[tool snips] -Yeah, there it is.
Thank you.
Sure.
[sighs]
[music ends]
[floor rasping]
[vehicle approaching]
[door opens]
Miss Naomi, it's Pastor Charles.
I heard you were back.
Just thought I'd stop by and see how you were doing.
[gentle music playing]
Wanted to welcome you home.
Scripture says Heaven rejoices when one comes home.
I ain't gonna give up on you.
We'll be here when you're ready, Miss Naomi.
[music fades]
[door opens]
[panting]
I got a job. Harvesting grapes on the other side of town.
The House of Azra winery.
I don't know. I couldn't find anything else.
House of Azra.
An old friend of mine owned that winery.
I thought it had shut down when he died.
He had a son.
He was such a good kid.
Wonder where he ended up.
[Boaz] About 14% alcohol on this one.
Tannins are really well-balanced too.
[Geno] When's the meeting with Ronan?
[Boaz] Next month.
[Boaz exhales]
Look, Bo. I know you don't want to let your dad down.
We'll be all right, man.
Hey, you remember that old Bobcat he used to drive around?
-[both chuckling] -Remember that?
It's probably still rusting somewhere on the property.
Yeah.
I remember the day he got that secondhand piece of junk, man,
it was like winning the lottery.
Never slept in past 5:00 a.m.
He'd be out there in the vineyard
grinding the gears until the sun went down.
Even after chemo.
-Ran it until the wheels fell off. -Yeah.
So will you, Bo.
So will you.
We'll see.
[Ruth] Oh.
[groans softly] Thank you.
This is really good.
[chuckles]
Nothing more satisfying than preparing meals for people you care about.
I'm not talking about you.
-[wind whistling] -[objects thudding]
Shoot.
Miss Naomi, can you pass me the tape? It should be on the counter over there.
Just need a little bit more, I think.
Wait, no, let me try this side. This would…
-It just won't stay up. -[whimsical music playing]
[grunts]
Miss Naomi, did you find the tape?
It should just be right there on the counter.
-[Ruth grunting] -[chuckling]
[Ruth] Stupid. What the…
Oh my God. [grunts]

Oh my God.
I almost lost my life.

I'm Bo.
Uh-huh.
[laughs uncomfortably]
Well, that's a first.
I'm sure you do that a lot, though, huh?
I mean, I know that that's not unique to just me.
What do you mean?
I mean, I've never been shot down with an "uh-huh" before.
[both chuckle softly]
You're very nice to look at.
And you're a nice grape manager.
And I'm sure you're a nice guy.
But I'm here with my girl, and, you know, I'm just…
Here's your drinks, Mr. Azra.
Thank you.
Mr. Azra? Your family own the winery or something?
I do.
[Jake] Two beers.
Oh, um…
So, the-- the permanent position for the rest of the season, was that you?
Yes, ma'am.
[chuckles nervously]
[both chuckle]
-Now I get it. Smooth. -Mm.
Get what?
I know exactly how men like you operate.
Atlanta is full of 'em.
Bye, Mr. Azra.
[chuckles]
-Hey, man. -Hey.
You all right?
Uh, um…
-Never been better. -All right.
I ain't never…
been better.

-Hey. -Okay.
-[hip-hop beat playing] -♪ So what you trying to do-- ♪
Hey. You know what, let's, uh…
-Let's take a break for a minute. -[Jermaine] What's going on?
Who the hell is that? What's, what… You talking about she needs a break?
I had a little situation with Ruth.
I'm gonna get her back.
All right. It ain't nothing but an eight-figure deal on the table.
Y'all tripping.
Where the hell you find this girl?
She looks like Ruth, so I…
She looks like her?
You told me she sounded decent.
-[Breana sighs] -Bree…
if you know where she is, you need to tell me right now.
Like I said before, I already told you, I don't know.
-Oh yeah? Give me your phone. -No.
[tense music plays]
What's the password?
1997.
-[shouting] Breana, tell me right now! -Sy! Relax.
Where is she?
-Huh? Tell me right now! -I…
I-- I haven't talked to her. She did this to me too.
And after all the shit I gave her about quitting 404…
I don't know, okay?
Wolf.
Go find her.
-[music fades] -[owl hooting]
[phone chimes]
[ominous music plays]
[music fades]
You sure I can't convince you to come? Service starts at 10:00.
Lena will be here any minute.
I'm not stepping in that place.
[Ruth sighs]
But why not? It's your old church.
You don't understand.
People from Pegram don't get offers like Eli.
Become a partner in a big law firm in Atlanta.
After we left, everybody here knew about the house, the cars…
[chuckles]
The expensive clothes.
And now they know I don't have a dollar to my name.
[vehicle horn honks]
That's Lena.
[gentle music plays]
I'll be praying for you.
Morning, Pastor Charles. Mr. Azra.
-Hey. -Good morning, Lena.
-Hey. -And who is this you brought?
Hello, I'm Ruth.
Yeah, she's staying with, uh, Naomi Evans.
You're staying with Naomi?
Sister Naomi, really?
Yeah, I tried to get her here today. I know this used to be her church.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Ruth.
Welcome. And how is Sister Naomi doing?
She, um… She has her good and bad days.
I went by the house the other day,
noticed the place could use a coat of paint.
Yeah, that place could use a miracle.
-Okay? -[all chuckle]
Well, I'll be praying for you both.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Let's go get some seats. -Okay.
-What are you doing, stalking me? -This is my church.
[Ruth] You own the church too?
[Boaz] No, I just go here.
[pleasant music plays]
[Lena] Chica.
Hey.
[in Spanish] Look.
[in English] This?
Over 80,000 views.
Views of what?
You, at the James Club.
-[Ruth] You posted that? Let me see. -Yeah.
[singing in video]
[Lena] You're amazing.
Take it down.
-Wait, what? Why? -Delete it. Now.
Okay.
[in Spanish] Done.
[horn honks]
[people speaking indistinctly]
[in English] What did you do?
Me?
I didn't…
[Naomi sighs]
[Charles] Good morning, Ruth.
Miss Naomi.
Good morning, Pastor Charles.
Well, now, what is going on?
Extreme Makeover: Church Edition.
You haven't occupied this house in more than 20 years.
Figured we'd help make you feel more at home.
I just found out you moved back.
Boaz.
[Boaz chuckles]
Oh my goodness. I didn't know you were still living in Pegram.
-Yes, ma'am. -Let me take a look at you.
[Boaz] Okay. How you doing, Miss Naomi?
-[Naomi] Oh. -[Boaz] I missed you.
[Naomi] Aw.
What are you doing here?
Oh, we're just here to give this old house a little makeover.
Nothing major.
-[sputters] -[both chuckle]
Well, I guess it's a little major.

[woman] Oh my God. Look at that.
[exhales]
-[Ruth] Ladies. -Oh yes.
-I was about to overheat. -Thank you.
[Boaz continues hammering]
[woman] If that ain't a gift from God…
Oof!
…I don't know what is.
Mm!
I think I'm gonna need another one.
I think you're gonna need a hose.
[ladder creaking, rattling]
Oh, Lord have mercy. He's coming down the ladder.
[Boaz] All right.
Well, roof's in better shape now.
[Naomi chuckles softly]
Ruth made this for you.
[Boaz] Oh yeah?
-Mm. -[gentle music plays]
Mm!
That's not bad for someone who hates my guts.
-I don't hate you. -[Boaz] Uh-huh.
Well, in that case, the two of you need to take a walk.
I don't think that would be appropriate, given he's my boss, you know?
He's not your boss today.
I guess she's right about that one.
I wouldn't want to, uh, twist your arm or nothing, though.
Fine. Okay.
Fine.
[Boaz] I was seven when he started the winery.
You know, at the time, people didn't think that fine wine
could be made by a Black man from Tennessee.
A lot of people still don't believe it.
Telling me I should sell the vineyard.
-Sell? -Mm-hmm.
-[Ruth] Are you going to? -Ah, please.
They'll be believers once they taste my 2017 reserve.
Did you always want to follow in your father's footsteps?
Nah, it's the last thing I wanted.
First chance I got,
I moved out of Pegram, enlisted myself in the Marines.
I did, uh, two tours in Afghanistan,
then I moved up to New York.
I got my MBA, worked on Wall Street.
Why aren't you married?
-I don't know. -[both chuckle]
[grunts] Good question.
I get asked that a lot.
If I'm honest, I've been married to the vineyard.
Maybe a little too married.
[grunts]
What about you, though?
I seem to be doing all the talking.
Uh…
[chuckles softly]
Well… I don't have an MBA.
I didn't graduate high school,
and, uh… the farthest I've ever been from Atlanta
is Pegram, Tennessee.
-Hey! -[both chuckle]
Uh…
I never knew my dad, and my mom left me when I was five.
[Boaz] Oh.
Wow, I'm…
I'm sorry about that.
That's okay.
I found my purpose too.
My voice.
It's really the only thing I've ever… had.
And what a beautiful voice you have.
[Ruth chuckles softly]
[Boaz] My mom used to sing too.
She didn't really think she had much to say.
You do.
[both chuckle]
-I can see it in you. -Okay.
I don't know. Maybe it's God telling me.
-Oh, is it? -No, I'm serious.
-Hey, God's honest truth. -[chuckles]
-Cross my heart and hope to-- -[Naomi whoops]
-[chuckles] You like that? -[Naomi whoops] Oh!
It's the only one in the lot.
-[groans in surprise] -[Ruth] Naomi! What's wrong?
[grunts happily]
[laughs]
You like the color?
Yes!
What?
Y'all do need a new car, don't you?
Plus, Miss Naomi can't be hitchhiking into town.
-Yes. Oh, Ruth. -All yours.
You don't have to walk to work anymore.
No, ma'am.
It's not me giving it to you. I'm just, uh…
[chuckles] I'm just God's middleman.
[Ruth] Hmm!
[Boaz] Come on.
Come on, girl.
[Ruth sighs]
[Boaz] This is the sip you'll talk about for years to come, Ronan. Trust me.
Your father was careful not to ever overpromise.
Brother, I'm not overpromising.
You know what it takes to win even bronze?
Well, I don't want bronze. I want "best in show."
I understand the process. Trust me. I get it.
I know you have a staff of tasting coordinators.
I know how it works. The only thing that I'm asking
is that you personally review my reserve. That's what I need, Ronan.
[Ronan] Me personally?
Well, the deadline is a month from now. When can you get me a bottle?
Right after my Harvest Festival, it's in your hands.
Okay. What are you calling it?
I'll let you know when it wins.
[Ronan chuckles]
I guess I'll never know.
[Boaz] Thank you. That's a wrap for today. Appreciate it, man.
-Very good job today. Thank you. -Thanks.
That's an early recess. Thank you. Y'all can go ahead and take it home.
-Full pay. Appreciate you. -[man] Finished?
We're out of here for the day. Thank you, brother.
Hey, hey.
-[pleasant music playing] -[Lena] Hola. Hey.
All right, I'm letting everybody go early for the day. Full pay.
-[Lena] Wow. -Thank you.
[all chuckling]
Geno will take it.
[Ruth] All right. [grunts]
-Thank you. Very good. -[Ruth] Good day.
-[Lena] Got it? -Yeah.
-[Lena] Thank you. -Thanks.
I…
have somebody I want you to meet.
Come on.
-Someone for me to meet? -Yes, ma'am.
Make this left, now make another left…
What's happening?
[chuckles]
Almost, almost.
-Okay. -Mm-hmm.
-Am I there? -All right, you ready?
-Okay, yeah. -In three, two…
one.
[gasps]
-What's up, Bo? -Oh my God.
-Always good to see you. -Mr. Face. Brother. Always good, man.
-[grunts] -Oh!
-I brought this for you. -Ah.
-And that 2017 reserve is on the way too. -Ooh.
-Thank you so much. I love this. -[Boaz] Of course.
Ruth.
I've heard so many good things about you.
[Boaz chuckles softly]
Uh, Ruth, this is Kenny.
The only artist in Grammy history to win Producer of the Year four times.
He hides out here in Nashville.
Enough of that. This ain't about me anyway.
How do you know Babyface?
[chuckling] I'm freaking out right now.
I knew Bo's daddy.
He was a great man.
He was a legendary winemaker.
Finest in Tennessee. And everybody loves his stuff.
And especially me.
-[chuckles] -And Bo knows that.
Nah, we're not here to talk about that neither.
We're here for this one.
Yes, we are. Ruth, follow me.
Okay. [giggles]
-Let's go. -[Ruth] Oh my gosh.
Wow, it's so beautiful in here.
So, Ruth…
So, Bo tells me you can really sing.
[Ruth clicks tongue]
Oh, I'm… I do all right.
I'm sure it's better than all right.
-Bo, can you grab the chair for us? -Oh…
-Come on, have a seat. -[Ruth] Thank you. [chuckles]
Sing something.
-For me. -Oh, uh…
[both chuckle]
Uh, sing what?
I don't know. What-- Whatever song is in your spirit.
Just take your time with it.
Whatever it is, I don't want you to sing it from here,
but I want you to sing it from here.
And sing it like you really mean it.
Okay?
Um…

No one has ever done anything this beautiful for me before.
[gentle music plays]
I'm sorry I misjudged you.
It's all good.
Why so tough?
I don't know. I guess three different foster families by the time I was 15.
It's just the way I had to be.
It always ends badly.
What does?
Love or whatever. [sighs]
I ain't gonna let anything bad happen.
-You can't say that. -Why not?

You can't possibly mean that. I mean, you barely even know me.

Maybe I was sent to you.

-[chuckles] -Ooh!
Okay, so when do I meet him?
I don't know.
There's just so much he doesn't know yet.
Listen, I didn't want to make this a thing,
but did you know there's a karaoke video of you on YouTube?
I mean, yeah, there was.
Sy saw it. He knows you're in Tennessee.
He had Wolf looking for you before.

Okay. Thank you.

It was a random act.
A bad hand.
Don't carry that inside yourself.
You know, I've got this box here and it's got some things.
I don't know. This…
Some of this stuff may be of interest to you.
-See what this is. -Oh yeah. It's a pretty color.

-Hello? -Ruth, it's Pastor Charles.
We're at the hospital. Naomi had an emergency.
And she's asking for you.
I'm coming now.
I gotta go.
-What happened? -[Ruth] I gotta go.
[man 1] I told you, man, it's just a corn bread, okay?
-[man 2] What you talking about? -[man 1] That's all it is.

Have you seen her?
I've seen her with him.
Oh yeah? And who's that?
[Jake] Boaz. He owns the House of Azra winery.
VIP.
-Hey, bartender! Let me get two more. -What's up?
Excuse me. [clears throat]
Excuse me. Hey, I don't mean to interrupt, uh…
I'm looking for a Ruth, Ruth Moably.
Oh yeah?
Yeah, the bartender said you own House of Azra winery
and you might help me locate her.
-How you know Ruth? -You didn't see her video?
It's all over the internet.
I own my own label and I'd love to sit down and talk about signing.
-I ain't seen her in a while. -Come on. You sure? The bartender--
-What'd you say your name was? -It's all good. I'll find her.
[ominous music playing]
You guys have a blessed rest of your night.
[Boaz] All right.
Here you go, babe.

-Thank you so much for calling. -Yeah.
Her blood pressure spiked.
She's gonna be fine, but the doctor wants to keep her here overnight.
-Okay. -You sit down. I'll be just out here.
Thank you.
I'm not going anywhere yet.
[sniffles, sighs]
If something happened to you…
I'll admit I was scared.
Since I buried my family, I've been so angry.
I forgot how good God has been to me.
You saved my life.
-Mm. -[gentle music plays]
You're my blessing,
and have been since the day you set foot on that bus
like a hardhead.
[chuckles softly]
You're Bo's blessing too.
Love shows up in unexpected ways.
You just have to believe in it.
Mm.
I'm not sure why God took Eli from me,
but I'm glad we had our love.
Love is all that matters, Ruth.

[shudders]
[man] Mr. Azra.
I'm Detective Lansing.
The Fire Chief called me in once they determined this was arson.
-Arson? -Yes.
Your insurance company will require an investigation,
but can you think of anyone who would want to hurt you?
-[morose music plays] -[grunts in confusion]
-Uh… -Any money owed or any run-ins?
No.
Anyone who felt threatening?
[dramatic sting]
Get officers to 17 Maple Street now.
17 Maple Street right now.
Tomatoes straight from my garden.
Oh, very good.
Ruth helped me plant them.
There she is!
Country girl now.
Bet you didn't see that coming after her performance at Club Eternity.
Ruth, that's enough. I'll buy you some more clothes.
-Let's go. -She's not going with you.
No, Naomi, I have to.
[ominous music plays]
Sy was behind the carjacking.
And he set Bo's winery on fire last night.
There's a lot of ways to convince people to do stuff they don't wanna do.
I'm just here to collect on a contract.
Ruth, you were warned. Let's go.
Let's go.
-Come on, we got a long drive. Let's go. -No!
[Wolf] Sit down!
[Ruth] No, no, no.
-[Wolf] Hey! -Get off!
[groans in pain]
Get up, hardhead. Let's go. Yeah.
[Ruth] Get off me.
What the hell he want?
-Bo, no. Don't. -Take her to the car.
-Just let me go. -[Syrus] Man, back up.
-You want to die or something? -[Wolf] Boss, unlock the door.
[both grunting]
[Ruth] No!
[Boaz grunting]
[grunts]
-No, Bo! -[men straining]
[Ruth] No!
Leave him alone!
-No! -[gunshot]
[Syrus gasps]
You took my husband and my son.
You're not taking my daughter.
[haunting piano music plays]
[siren wailing in distance]
Next time, I won't miss.
-[music fades] -[indistinct police radio chatter]
I meant what I said when I was in the hospital.
You saved my life.
What that man did, that's not your fault, Ruth.
And he will pay for it, in this life or the next,
but I wish you had just trusted me enough to tell me.
To believe that I love you.
[gentle music plays]
I've been cooking for you.
[chuckles softly]
Oh, Bo.
Oh…
-[chuckles, groans] Ooh. -Oh… [chuckles sympathetically]
I am so sorry about the vineyard.
It could have been worse.
I have to go give a statement, hmm?
I lied to you.
You did. By omission.
But I should have listened to what you weren't saying.
My God. The fear you were living with.
[exhales]
[hopeful piano music plays]
Bo, you showed me that I have love to give.
Thank you.
Sounds like goodbye.
It is.
How could you live with me? I can hardly live with myself.
Ruth, I can make more wine.
I can never find another you.
So much for God blessing the fruit.
[crows cawing]
Are you kidding?
[music ends]
Whole life was up in here.
No one's even going to be able to taste it.
[Geno] Oh man.
We should try it.
Geno, you have a bottle opener?
-Ruth… -Yeah.
It's undrinkable. Just…
Give it a shot. Why not?
Give me the bottle.
[gentle music plays]
-[cork pops] -[grunts]
-I'll take first dibs. -All right, go ahead, try it out yourself.
[music becomes hopeful]
[Boaz groans]
I don't know much about wine, but you should try this.
-I should try this? -Yes.
Okay.
Bo.
-You need to try this. -No, I don't.
-Bo. Trust me. -Brother…
[Geno] Mm-hmm.
[Geno chuckling]
No, that's impossible. Fire should've turned this all to vinegar.
No, this is impossible.
I heard about this, man. Wine surviving a fire. I mean…
We'll have to test every bottle up in here. But, uh…
-I think… -The 20…
The 2017 reserve is better than before.
Huh? Huh?!
-[Geno] Yeah, baby! -Yes, sir!
-[laughs] -[Geno] Whoo!
[suspenseful music plays]
Well, the judging panel has already decided
that this is not getting a recommendation.
It is, however,
getting Best in Show.
[sighs]
[Ronan and Boaz chuckle]
Congratulations.
[Boaz chuckles]
Ronan, don't be playing with me.
I'm not playing.
Your father would be proud.
-Would he? -Yeah.
[Boaz laughs]
[Boaz] Man, would he!
[laughs]
-[Ronan chuckles] -Whoo!
Very proud.
[Boaz sighs in relief]
So, a deal is a deal.
What are you going to call it?
R&B.
For Ruth and Boaz.
It was the miracle of you that made this happen.
-[Ruth chuckles softly] -[sighs]
You think you'd have enough time to be a recording artist and my partner?
Only if I get to crush with you.
[gentle piano music playing]
[Naomi] Turns out Ruth was wrong.
She did get to live happily ever after.
The best love stories don't start with fireworks.
Sometimes they start in the ashes.
God is love.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It doesn't envy.
It doesn't boast.
And it never, ever gives up.
Faith, hope, and love remain,
but the greatest of these is love.
Love always wins.
