[music]

Hey, what do you think of my vision board, Mr. Efe?

Hm? Wow!

That is a lot of visions!

I know.

I'm having a hard time trying to narrow down the things

that I want to focus on.

What does the Eiffel Tower stand for?

Well, I use that to represent that I really want to travel.

Oh, that is a good goal. That's very good.

And, uh, what is this?

Is it... Is it a groundhog?

Well, it's cute.

And I mean, I wouldn't mind working at a zoo or something.

[Efe] Oh, I see.

What about the dress?

Well, it's fabulous.

Okay, I have a vision of one day being able

to afford everything in Beyonc�'s closet.

Oh, that is great.

It's so good you know what you want and what you like.

It's good.

Well, what about your board, Mr. Efe?

Oh, um...

Oh!

I guess I have the opposite issue.

You didn't have time to work on it?

I have nothing but time.

I just keep drawing a blank every time I try to think

of something to put on the board.

[Mr. Brown] When I ate that burger,

I should have put some onions on there too,

but I know we might kiss later, so...

[laughter]

Why y'all looking sad and stuff?

I see you guys are doing your vision boards.

Ah, yes, that's right.

Um...

an apple?

Uh...

Yes, yeah, I'm trying to eat healthier.

That's a good goal.

Yeah, yeah.

Is that your only goal?

Leroy, stop being silly.

That's not his only goal.

Efe, obviously, is just starting his board.

No, Ms. Kimberly.

I was just talking to Sandra about it.

I've been working on this thing for one week.

I have no vision.

Well, you know without vision, people perish.

Oh, no. So I'm perished.

[Kimberly] No, not at all.

Efe, you will find it.

Yeah, maybe I'm not meant to find it.

Why you say that?

Look at me.

I'm old.

-Huh? -Yeah, you are old.

I can see it in your face.

You look old.

Leroy, stop.

Well, he the one say it. I'm just agreeing.

Look at him.

Age is a state of mind.

Oh, Ms. Kimberly, I beg.

That is the thing they say to old people so that they can

feel better about themselves.

It is not. I really believe that.

Yeah, me too, Mr. Efe. Age is nothing but a number.

Yeah, yours just happened to be a high number.

Like a really high number.

That's just old.

Okay.

You know, I don't think this exercise was a good idea for me.

Why not?

Because I have no idea what

direction my life is supposed to go.

Oh, that's okay.

[Efe] No, it is not.

Huh?

I feel like all of us are just...

we are just sitting in this facility just waiting to die.

[maudlin music]

? No matter what you do, I love you ?

? No matter where you go, I'm behind you for sure ?

? Always remember blood ain't never water ?

? We'll make it if we stay together ?

[maudlin music]

Whoa!

I feel so bad for Mr. Efe.

Yeah, he seems so upset.

Well, we're all upset when we can't find purpose in life.

Well, yeah, but he was, whoo, he was extra.

Hey, hey, everybody. Everybody okay in here?

[Mr. Brown] Uh-uh!

Yeah, Efe looks like somebody stole his cornbread.

Right.

I'm afraid he's really upset.

Yeah, Cora, it was terrible.

He was so heartbroken.

He said, [imitating Efe] "I feel like I am sitting here

waiting to die!"

End scene.

Mr. Brown, he was that dramatic?

Yeah, he was, and it's my fault.

Oh, well, no, Kimberly, I'm sure it's not your fault.

Kinda, it was.

About a week ago, I did suggest

that he do Sandra's class project with her.

Project?

Uh, it's nothing, Mom.

Oh, nothing.

You didn't tell your mom about the vision board you have to do

for your wellness class?

Sandra doesn't seem to tell me much these days.

Okay, it's not a big deal, Mom. It's just a vision board.

I didn't say it was a big deal,

but it would be nice to know what's going on with you.

Oh, she didn't tell you?

Well, she told me.

She told her. She told her.

She told, she been having us do, do a lot of stuff,

and just say, don't you be asking her-

-Not helping, Mr. Brown. -Okay, I'll just be quiet.

Well, I don't understand why Mr. Efe

would be so upset over a vision board.

Well, he explained that at his age,

he finds himself bored and preoccupied.

He said, [imitating Efe] "I don't know what to do

with the rest of my life!"

He was, he was just,

you should have seen it, Cora. It was dramatic.

[Sandra] Yeah, well, then,

Ms. Kimberly had the brilliant idea

for him to also do a vision board.

You know, just so he could plan out

his goals for the rest of the year.

And for the years to come.

Well, that does sound like a fine idea.

Right, so you would think.

So he's still so upset over a vision board?

He's just having a hard time

figuring out what he wants to do.

I mean, I feel the same frustration.

You do?

I mean, I'm so confused on what I want to do.

Look at mine.

Wow.

Well, you do have a lot of visions.

You do. It's nice.

Yeah, I'm all over the place.

Aw, baby girl, it's okay.

No, Mom, it's not okay.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

Okay, I have to get ready for my study session.

On a Saturday?

Yeah, we meet on Saturdays.

Preston Hall is just quieter on the weekends.

Okay, baby.

Listen, don't stress.

I love you.

I love you, too, Mom.

Bye, everyone.

Bye.

She didn't tell you that either.

No, no.

Listen, are you messy?

Who would have thought vision boards

could cause so much strife?

I feel awful.

-[Mr. Brown] Yeah. -It's okay.

It was your idea, though.

-Would you- -I know...

I can't say nothing every time I open my mouth.

Oh, hush, then.

[snoring] [dream shimmering]

[Sandra] Hey, loser. What's up?

You good?

No. Hell no.

Okay, what now? Like a walking disaster.

Ha! Takes one to know one.

I still cannot believe this mess.

Yeah. I'm in deep shit.

Well, you're always in deep shit.

No, no, no. I'm in deep, deep shit.

I mean, up to the ceiling. I'm drowning in it.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't sleep last night.

It's not even my mess.

What is this chick's name?

Megan.

Megan? Who is Megan?

She's a cheerleader, and she calls me Big Daddy.

Big Daddy.

Okay, so she's not very bright.

That could be any of your friends.

[laughs sarcastically] You're so funny.

I cannot believe she didn't tell you.

Tell me what?

Tell you what? Tell you what?

-That she's pregnant! -[high-pitched screaming]

Shh.

Don't say that out loud.

Can't even bear the thought.

Oh!

[high-pitched scream]

[dream shimmering]

[Jeremy] Oh, hell no. [door shuts]

Hell no. Hey.

Hey, get your ass up, boy.

Wake up.

-Hmm? -Hmm? Get up!

[Philip] It's, it's Saturday, right?

And?

I don't have school.

So what that mean?

Look, Dad.

I was up really late last night.

Well, that sound like a personal problem.

In this house, ain't nobody staying asleep past 8 a.m.

unless you paying some bills.

Dad, do you enjoy making my life miserable?

Oh, oh. I live for it. I live for it.

Get up!

All right! You find Philip?

Yeah, his ass in here is still asleep.

Asleep?!

[Philip] Yeah, Granddad.

Dad tripping.

Tripping? Look here, boy.

My daddy used to tell me, don't nobody sleep past 7 a.m.

unless they paying a bill.

Right. And I told him 8 a.m.

That's 'cause you soft.

Okay, okay. I'm up. Who am I getting up for?

[Vinny] Don't worry about it.

We got a whole list of stuff for you to do.

I heard you like to skip class.

That's right.

So I got me a long-ass list.

Yeah, and when his list stop, that's when mine begin.

Now get up!

Yeah, wash your ass and meet us out back.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Hurry up.

You got 20 minutes.

I'm calling child protective services.

You ain't calling nobody. I got your phone.

You making a threat.

Our list just doubled in size.

-What the f- -[Vinny] Say it! Say it!

-Please say it. -Please say it.

I dare you!

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Yeah, 20 minutes.

Your ass out of sight.

Yeah, almost... [indistinct]

[laughter]

[Jeremy] Stupid.

[sighs]

[music]

-What is taking him so long? -He better hurry up.

Is he still in bed?

I told him 20 minutes.

[Vinny] Yeah, I ain't got all day waiting on him.

Come on. Look at him.

Look at him. Look at him.

Dragging behind.

Unbelievable.

Come on, man.

Come on!

Get some pep in your step, son!

Pep in my step?

Yes. Stop dragging.

It means walk like you happy to be here.

Why you ain't just say that?

Instead of using that old man saying.

Look, you want me to act happy to be here?

Yeah, we do. And right now,

you doing a terrible job of acting.

You really are.

Well, one, I'm not an actor.

And two, Dad told me to never lie.

Well, your dad's absolutely right.

Lying is a terrible character trait.

It really is.

Okay, so I can't act happy to be up.

Oh, don't worry about it, young Philip.

You about to get even happier.

Yeah.

Yeah, now you want to listen to me.

Well, what's first on your list, Grandpa?

First on the list is we want you to go outside

and dig a four-foot hole by that maple tree back there.

-Mm-hmm. -Dig a hole?

Dig a hole, and here's your damn shovel.

Take it. Take it.

Take it.

Like, seriously?

-[Jeremy] Yeah! -Yes, seriously.

Yeah.

Don't we look serious?

Not really. You guys.

-Yes, Son? -Yeah.

-Us guys what, what? -What, what?

I'm going to pray for you guys.

-Oh, thanks. -We could use the prayers.

I hope God forgive y'all for this.

Pray for him.

Pray for me.

-Yeah. -What's the hole for?

Hell if I know.

I just wanted him to be busy all day.

Damn. All them years

I wondered why I had to dig them damn holes.

Well, you know, digging holes is good exercise.

-Is that why? -[laughs]

Not necessarily.

Now, you ever seen how

entertaining it could be to watch a spoiled,

privileged kid dig a hole?

Nah.

Come on, you're gonna love this.

Oh, good.

Cora, I was just looking for you.

I was looking for you, too.

-I'm so worried about Mr. Efe. -Me too, Cora.

You know, I think that as a nurse I get so wrapped up

in their physical, medical issues,

that we don't pay enough attention

to their mental health issues.

You must have been reading my mind.

I just called a girlfriend of mine.

And I was reading an article from a Dr. Ross.

She specializes in mental health issues.

Oh.

-Oh, Cora. -Wow.

Okay, so what, what, what, look, I see your face.

What's she say?

It says that the elderly community,

not feeling like they have a reason to live

-is very dangerous. -Of course.

We all want to know we have purpose in life

and something to wake up for every morning.

Yes.

Did you know that many in

the elderly community choose suicide, Cora?

No. What?

Yes, and it is the highest among any other group.

Wow.

Look at this.

Oh, Leah, no.

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

-Hey, Mom, Ms. Cora. -Hey.

Yeah, I can't find Mr. Efe.

He's not in his room?

No, his room is empty.

Empty?

[music]

[music]

Empty? Well, that's strange.

Yeah.

We're gonna check it out, baby.

Okay.

I was gonna help him with his vision board.

That's nice, baby girl.

Oh, how was your study session?

It was good.

Oh, anything exciting happen?

Exciting? No, Mom. It was a study session.

Okay, look, can we just go check on Mr. Efe, please?

Okay.

If you guys find him,

can you let him know that I'm looking for him?

Yes, baby, sure.

Cora, this is troubling.

[Cora] Yes, this is...

[music]

Oh, my Lord.

Leah, that room was definitely cleaned out.

Yeah, this is so strange, Cora.

Yes, you know, where could he be or go?

I don't know, Cora.

I mean, all his family lives in Nigeria.

And Mr. Efe is a very considerate man,

and he would not just leave without telling us something!

That's very true.

I'm concerned, Cora.

Me, too.

Oh, this got me worried.

Worried about what?

We're worried about Mr. Efe.

-What's going on with him? -I don't know.

This morning, Mr. Brown and Sandra said

-he was very upset. -Right.

He was talking about not having a reason

for living or something.

Huh? That's not good.

No. I mean-

And Leah just read an article about elderly people.

You know, it's just had her all upset.

Yeah.

Basically, it said that

the elderly community commit suicide

when they don't feel they have purpose

in their lives, Jeremy.

Right.

Well, where is he?

Has anybody talked to him?

We were looking for him.

Yeah, but Sandra said his room was all cleaned out, so.

Room cleaned out?

Yeah, we just checked it.

And?

It's definitely cleaned out.

Okay, and he hasn't said anything to anyone.

[Leah] No.

Well, we need to call somebody.

-Somebody like who? -I don't know.

We need to call Jesus, Tyrone.

I don't know.

The doctor? Somebody.

Come on, Jeremy, think!

Well, first we need to find him.

That's if he's still here.

[Cora] Oh!

Well, I'm gonna start looking over here.

I'm gonna look outside.

[maudlin music]

Vinny, I would say you're slow, but that'd be a compliment.

Oh, well, did they let

the air out the hump on your mama's back yet?

What?

What is you talking about?

Look at this. Look, look, look at this.

[Mr. Brown] Did he do something to his hair?

[Vinny] I don't know! I don't know!

Wait, wait. What you doing?

Oh, where you going? What's up?

To the bathroom. I'm taking a break.

Philip, breaks have to be approved.

You can't just take a break.

Right.

Yeah, when we were working on Saturday,

my daddy didn't let us take no breaks.

Then how'd you go to the bathroom?

You didn't. You held it.

Don't he look stuffed and congested like he gonna pop?

Look at him.

Is that true, Mr. Brown?

Because if that's true,

I definitely don't want to do that.

Okay, well, what that supposed to mean?

Nothing. No shade.

Yeah, it felt like some shade.

It felt like shade to me.

Besides, you only got about

three minutes on your break anyway.

You better go, because,

you know, your 30 seconds are not enough.

-Hurry up. -Hurry up, now.

I got a question for you two.

The answer is no.

Hurry up.

You'll never be this good looking.

We ain't got all day.

That was definitely not going to be a question.

Anyways, when you guys was growing up,

you never ditched school?

Well, there was one time...

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute, Brown.

-You ain't got to answer that. -Why can't he answer?

'Cause this ain't about us. Philip, it's about you.

That's right. This ain't about us.

-It's about you. -It's about you.

-You trying to "de-glect". -Yeah.

You mean deflect, and that's not what I'm trying to do.

What are you trying to do, then, you smart man?

I just don't understand why my dad and everybody's acting

like it's the end of the world.

You would have thought I killed somebody.

Oh, you did try to kill somebody, Philip.

What?

You tried to kill the man we want you to be.

-Oh, look at you. -Was that good?

I mean, you was on the go, really.

Yes. Look at you. Philip, yes.

What we trying to do is get you to be a man of "incregrity".

[Philip] Integrity.

[Mr. Brown] Whatever. Don't correct me.

-No, just don't. -You trying to correct me?

You should be trying to correct your hairstyle.

[Vinny] Correct yourself. Yeah.

You wish you had a hairstyle.

[Vinny] Whoa! He hit you with that one.

But that's your curse, Philip. That's what that is.

-It's a curse on you. -It's my curse?

Yeah, see, you're surrounded by people who love you

and care about you

and will not let you be anything but great.

-[Mr. Brown] That's right. -[Vinny] How was that one?

-What'd you say? -That was good, yeah.

-You was preaching that word. -I'm full of it today.

You need a text, man. You need a text.

Doc. Doc!

[Vinny] Doc! [laughs]

You better go.

You already done used up two of your three minutes.

You done ate up two of your...

Why is he still standing here? What's wrong with that boy?

-They don't listen. -What is wrong with this guy?

-And their hair. -Oh, my gosh.

I wish we had hair sometimes.

I do. I be dreaming about hair sometimes.

I dream sometimes I have an afro.

Take your hat off, you look like a mole.

Your mom had a goatee this morning when I woke up.

You look like you just did-

Did you know that? And sideburns.

You just look like you ought to dig a new hole.

And mutton chops. She had mutton chops.

[groans]

-Any luck? -No!

I have searched high and low around this facility!

Oh, my goodness.

I have polled all the residents and no one has seen him.

And I looked outside and down the block and no sign of him.

Okay, Jeremy.

And, like, I'm really worried now.

Right. Right. Y'all, look.

We're gonna have to go ahead and call the police,

y'all, and file a missing persons report about this,

all right?

Yeah, we may not have a choice.

I don't want to do that.

[Cora] Efe!

Sandra.

Where you been, man?

We've been worried sick about you!

Worried about me? Why?

Well, 'cause we heard you were really upset earlier.

Yeah, and your room was all cleaned out.

Oh, that.

Guys, Mr. Efe went to get paint.

I found him in the shed out back when I was looking for him.

You been in the shed all day?

Yes.

I wanted to paint my room.

And I said I would help him.

I love those home renovation shows.

You wanted to paint your room.

Yes.

It's very dark in there.

I wanted to, you know, brighten things up.

-Efe, you could have told us. -Yes.

We would've just painted it for you.

No, no, no, no, no. I wanted to paint it.

In fact, I wanted to remove all the clutter from in there.

You know, this vision board has given me newfound energy.

I want to have a productive day every day.

In fact, every day I wake up, I want to have something to do.

Now, there's a fine idea, Mr. Efe.

Yes, and next, I'm going to try and figure out

what my next chapter is going to be about.

Any ideas?

None yet.

But you're thinking about doing those online courses, right?

School's always a great place to start.

Right.

Are you ready, Princess?

Room renovation process underway.

Let's go.

All right.

Well, y'all have a good time.

Oh, my gosh.

What a relief.

I know.

Now my heart can rest.

I know. Mine, too.

I just can't get over

how Sandra want to hang out with everybody but you, baby.

Boy, I'ma throw my shoe at you.

[Cora] Why would you say something like that?

That's terrible. You're messy.

I'm kidding!

I thought Mr. Brown was messy! You messy too!

-Messy boots. -Oh, my gosh.

[music]

[sighs]

Hey, Son.

Hey, Dad.

Finished?

Yeah.

I dug the holes, trimmed the hedges,

cleaned out the closet in the basement,

power washed the patio. Oh, and I cleaned

the paint closet in the shed for Mr. Efe.

Okay.

I'm proud of you, Son.

Thanks.

So is there a time limit on when I can go to bed?

Nah, man.

When a man works that hard, he deserves a good night's rest.

-Thanks, Dad. -Yeah.

-And, Son? -Yes, sir.

You know, I'm starting to like that yes, sir thing.

-Yes, sir. -Yeah.

I just want you to know I love you, Son.

Ain't nothing you can do about it.

Love you, too, Dad.

-Good night. -Good night.
