[gospel piano music]

[God] It's beautiful, isn't it?

But can you save it?

[unsettling music]

[Man] Hey.

What they got you in for?

Corey Carr. How do you plead?

[slow-motion low echo]

Objection, Your Highness!

This man is not an attorney.

-He's a clown.
-I'm not a clown.

I'm an angel.

[indistinct]

[Man 2]
Hey, don't look over here.

[slow-motion low echo]
Don't look over here.

Don't look over here.

See, that's your problem.

You always
over somebody's business.

Nosy, nosy, nosy.

Your charges, Corey.

Where do we start?

Start with his big head.

What he doin' with his head?

You can't get into heaven
with a carry-on like that.

Ooh.

[demonic singing]
? Happy birthday to you ?

[wicked laughter]

[watch alarm beeping]

[sighs]

? Churchy ?

? I'm going to church today ?

? 'Cause I need Him ?

? Yeah, I need Him

? Churchy ?

[Bree] I think he looks great

for his big
town hall speech today.

No, Bree.

Listen, I need you to keep it
real with him, okay?

He needs to hear the truth
before we spend

all this money on these clothes.

Okay, okay.
Now, I have been tuning

into the livestreams
of your service on Sundays.

-You have? Mm.
-I have. Yes.

And I also have to admit...

-Say it, girl.
-Okay.

You wear the same suit
every weekend.

And over and over and over.

All right.
I knew the devil was in them.

But you let the devil
get in you?

That familiar spirit. See?

What?

See, I'm telling you, every big
event in this man's life,

he wears that same JCPenney's
preacher suit.

I'll have you know that Newsweek
says it's a sign of genius

to wear a daily uniform.

See, that's the problem
right there.

Getting your fashion advice
from Newsweek

tells me all we need to know.

What are you proposing?

Hoo-hoo, I thought
you'd never ask.

See, I'm thinking we go
with something big.

You know, something bold.

Let the clothes make a statement
before you say anything.

[Sharon] Now, I can get on board
with that.

I agree.
We need to make a statement.

You need to have a suit

that's, like, tailored and clean
and distinguished.

You know?

I'm thinking like navy blue,
right?

You know, it exudes
dependability and maturity

and security
and control of your emotions.

Girl, he trying to save
the church from getting demo-ed.

Not beat a capital murder case.

Whatever. Corey, I'm sure
you have an opinion.

-What say you?
-Of course.

J.Bolin, houndstooth-

Thank you, Corey.
Uh, Bree, thoughts?

Okay. I think
that he should just wear

his heart on his sleeves,

go in there,
and just speak his mind.

Okay? Ultimately, it's the man
that makes the clothes.

Not the clothes that make
the man.

-See?
-Yuck.

And I thought we were on
the same page, Bree.

-[Rodney] Yeah, uh, Sharon?
-[Sharon] Yeah?

-We got Corey's sizes, right?
-We sure do.

We'll be taking care of this.

[gospel organ sting]

Knock, knock.

-All packed, I see.
-Yep.

[scoffs] I can't believe it.

It's not over yet.

Yes, it is.

I haven't seen you this down
since Kamala started talking

about cooking greens
in a bathtub.

Don't even get me started
on that.

Soaking collard greens
in a bathtub

like they had had a long day.

Yeah, well, in her defense,
those greens had been toiling

in the hot sun all day.

[both laughing]

I don't know.

Stinney, I know how these
city council meetings end.

They all end the same.

Heartbreak.

Not everything ends
in heartbreak.

[gentle organ music]

Will I see you at the city hall
this afternoon?

I'll think about it.
I, I don't know.

Very well.
I'll get out of your hair.

Everything's gonna be all right.

I believe in Corey.

You should, too.

-Oh!
-Yes, sir.

That's my boy
with the Rodney chain.

-All right.
-I see you.

I trusted y'all.

Y'all got me looking like
a Cheetah Girls manager.

What? No.

Corey, you look good.

You know what? You didn't even
sound confident in that.

-[Sharon] I mean...
-Come on, now.

Sharon, where's my regular suit?

[Sharon] Corey, trust me. This-

Sharon, where is
my regular suit?

Fine, Corey. Here.

You don't gotta push me
like that.

Big baby.
Take them little cheap shoes.

[Corey] Thank you.

I told you.

It was worth a try.

Mmm. Hm-hm-hmm.

Wanna be a news anchor so bad.

-So bad.
-Bro, you a preacher.

-Not a reporter. Ugh.
-Thank you.

Stay in your lane.

-ABC 7 News.
-Ugh.

-Look at you.
-Don't ugh.

-This is a good suit.
-Bro, it's blah.

Like, you need something
that says, "I'm a winner."

This don't say that?

You need something that says,
"Voila."

Ah! I got it. I have got it.

I'll be right back.

? I'll be right back ?

I'll be right back,
I'll be right back.

Ah, ha, ha, ha!
Yaas, honey, yaas!

They're not gonna be able
to keep their eyes off you.

[Corey] Y'all sure about this?

-Absolutely.
-Absolutely.

[funky music]

[Kenneth] Pastor Carr.

It is my understanding
that your church is at risk

of being demolished
first thing tomorrow morning.

Now, now, now Teddy here

arrived early to City Hall,

prepared,
clearly laying out his plans

in favor of this rezoning,

showing myself and this council
the requisite respect due.

And then there's you.

Now, it would seem to me
that someone

with this much at risk
would handle this situation

with the integrity
of the severity

of the consequences at stake.

So I'm gonna ask you again
for everybody in this room,

do you think these proceedings
are a joke?

No.

I don't know what would give you
that impression.

I am here to fight
for my church.

That's it. That's all.

Well, come on, then. Let's go.

Now, why did y'all go and put
that lace front on that boy?

Man, that was Sharon idea.

Uh-uh. Don't put that on me.

I ain't got nothing to do
with that.

I kind of like it.
I might get one for myself.

Mayor Wilson, Council-

Actually, if I may...

Pastor to pastor.

You gotta get those, don't you?

I'd like to remind you
that this decision

offers Bethlehem Temple
a new chapter.

It allows you and your church

to let go
of your financial burdens

and move forward with dignity.

And in many ways,

this is a blessing in disguise
for all of us.

As my dearest Aunt Jeannie
used to say,

God rest her soul,

God's plans are bigger
than our own.

Deep within my heart, I can feel
God's fingertips on this plan.

Thank you.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Words of wisdom.

Thank you so much for that,
Pastor Teddy.

And I'm sorry for your loss.

If we can do anything to help,
you have our support.

I am right here.

Continue.

Mayor Wilson, Council,

Crystal.
[keys clacking rapidly]

I want to talk
about a nine-letter word

that sits at the center
of why we're all here today.

Dead only has four letters,
Pastor.

Webster's Dictionary
defines community

as people living in a particular
area with common interests.

Objection, Your Honor!

Calvin, this ain't court!

Oh, I know.

I just always wanted to do that.
Where Corey at?

Whoo!
[laughing hysterically]

[indistinct]

Hey, you want me
to roast you now or later?

You see we're in the thing, man?

[clearing throat threateningly]

My apologies, Your Majesty.

Just one second, one second.
Let me get my...

Hey, y'all, come over here.

Come on, grab a seat,
grab a seat, come on.

What's...

[chanting] Bethlehem. Bethlehem.

[All] Bethlehem. Bethlehem.

-[Calvin] What?
-[All] Bethlehem.

-Come on!
-[All] Bethlehem.

All right, all right.
Settle, settle.

You're in my tabernacle now.

-Come on, let's go.
-My bad.

You know what?

Calvin's right.

Let's just address
the elephant in the room.

Look at this.

I mean, come on, y'all.
This ain't me.

This wig?

I let my friends convince me

that I needed
to look like a winner.

And it reminded me
of David and Goliath.

He about to blame
that terrible wig

on the Bible, watch.

Saul thought David should wear
hisarmor

because that's what hewould do.

But that armor wasn't made
for David.

It didn't fit him.

Are we having a council meeting
or a church service?

Well, the Bible says, "Where two
or three are gathered-"

[speaking in tongues]
You in the book, doc.

Amen.

All right, all right.
English only in this proceeding.

Let's do it.

[Corey] So here's the thing.

When you're too busy trying
to fit into someone else's mold,

it strips you of your purpose.

And before you know it,

you're so far off the path
that God designed just for you.

And who would know this
better than me?

Because when I first came
to Lubbock,

all I wanted to do was prove
my dad wrong.

I wanted to be a pastor
of my own church

to show him who's boss.

What I thought I needed
was to lead a church.

But what I truly needed
was to be a part of thischurch.

I needed Mother Jean

to be strict
and dedicated to excellence.

Yes, you did.

I needed Pastor Stinney
to believe in me.

Amen.

I needed Rodney
to have my back always.

You already know, bro.

I needed Calvin,

because being around Calvin
taught me patience.

We gettin' on his nerves.

And I needed Bree
because she saw the best in me.

And her seeing the best in me

allowed me to see the best
in everyone.

And it don't hurt
she fine in the mug.

-You see it? Huh?
-Okay.

Bigger than manna. You see it?

Bow the ponytail.
Do the ponytail.

Stay focused.

Okay, okay. Okay, that's my bad.

But she was fine.
You know what I'm saying?

And Sharon. Shoot.

-Sharon, y'all.
-Corey, really?

She will fight for you.

-She may fight you, too.
-Huh, that's right.

[Corey] But she will fight
for you,

and that helped me to fight
for this church.

The church isn't something
you achieve.

It's a community you build.

A community you're a part of.

Not some notch on your belt
that you view

from your sacred perch
atop the world.

All I want is a chance
to show up for this church

the way they've shown up for me
over the past year.

And the way they've shown up

for this entire community
the last 50.

Jumpy Joyland was pitched to you
as this blessing in disguise.

This flashy, profitable answer

to all
of Lubbock's economic prayers.

-Because it is.
-[Corey] At what cost?

The cost of community?

Jumpy Joyland's not
a place that's gonna help

an inmate who feels like
the world's given up on him.

Jumpy Joyland's not
a place where two older lovers

can connect again.

Jumpy Joyland's not
a place where children can go

and have fun during the day.

That's exactly what it is.

No, I mean, like, but could you
leave your kids there,

like, for Vacation Bible School

during the day
while you do something else?

You can leave them there
depending on how old they are.

No-I mean,
well, technically, yeah,

but, but, but waivers, though.

You gotta sign the waivers.
You gotta sign the waivers.

Yeah.

A trampoline can't give
an ex-con

his first big contract
as an event planner,

Big Ray
of Big Ray's Pest Control.

And tent rental.

Or find me the big brother
I never knew I needed.

It's kind of weird, but it's
almost like we're related.

-I feel the same way.
-They're not related.

Nothing to see here.

Hey, that boy needs a father.

I need you to shut up.

He took my tent.

Uh, that was, um,

only to bring awareness to
the community about serving

the unhoused population
of Lubbock.

Unhoused?

I was housed
before he took my tent.

Pastor Corey, he's a good man.

Oh, okay, okay.

Dare I ask, who are you people?

I am Bethlehem Temple.

I am Bethlehem Temple.

I am Bethlehem Temple.

Why are they standing up
so slow?

I am Bethlehem Temple.

[Congregation]
I am Bethlehem Temple.

I am annoyed!

Are we getting rid
of Corey's church or not?

Whoa. You're at a 10.
We need you at a two or three.

Thank you, Pastor Carr, for this
overcooked after-school special.

Now, in the matter
of the rezoning

of Bethlehem Temple,

I would ask the clerk to lead us
to the vote

for the proposal
of the 12-57 Amendment.

Is everybody done talking?

Jesus, I hope so.

Corey, you can have a seat.
Just sit on down.

We move to vote

on the Amendment 12-57
for the proposed rezoning

of Bethlehem Temple from
a religious to commercial use.

All those in favor,
by show of hands, say aye.

-Aye.
-[Crystal] Five ayes.

Man of his word. Well done.

The rezoning amendment
has been adopted.

The Bethlehem Temple property

will be rezoned first thing
6:00 am tomorrow morning.

Ah. Not so fast.

By show of hands, how many
of you have a personal story

where Pastor Carr has went out
of his way to make your day

just a little bit brighter?

Hmm.

Excuse me.

Thank you, Crystal.

I have sat here today, and I
have listened to both sides,

but I must admit that there
is something that Pastor Corey

mentioned that struck me.

-I heard him say-
-Now, I'm sorry now.

What is going on here?
We done had the voting.

We done been to Bethlehem.
The major got on the donkey

and rode all the way
to the boat.

The voting is closed!
What's going on?

Well, what's going on is you'll
be back

to managing the Chili's
where I found you

if you interrupt me again,
Kenny.

Now, as I was saying,

I respect the council's swift
decision-making process, okay?

But as our lovely clerk,
Crystal,

has just confirmed for me,

we have overlooked
some significant information.

Now, Pastor Corey, you said
that Bethlehem Temple

has been here for 50 years.

Yes, Mayor.

And it was founded
by Black residents of Lubbock.

Yes, Mayor. Yes, it was.

Well, then that would
make Bethlehem Temple

a historical Black church,
now wouldn't it, Kenny?

Well, technically,

the church would need to fill
out the proper paperwork to-

Oh, isn't it funny
how you overlooked that?

It's all right, though,
because as mayor,

I have the authority to make
that designation.

So effective immediately,
Bethlehem Temple

is Lubbock's newest
protected landmark.

That means no rezoning,

no demolition, and absolutely
no Jumpy Joyland.

[excited screaming and cheering]

Oh, now you can go ahead
and slam your gavel.

And I also believe that there
is a generous amount

of grant money set aside
to help preserve history

like this in our community.

And I want you to see to it
that the necessary funds

are allocated to Pastor Corey's
church immediately.

They can use the breathing room.

You'll be lucky if your name's
on the ballot next election.

You've picked
the wrong fight, Wilson.

You know, you see, that's
the problem, Pastor Teddy.

You're so busy picking fights
instead of just doing your job

serving the Lord.

But you know what?

I want you to have
a good day today, okay?

But even if you can't
have a good one,

don't you dare go messing up
nobody else's, hear?

[cheering]

Oh, Teddy, you lose again.

You lose again. Aw.

Hey, you know what it is?
It's big Corey Crooks

up in here.

-And it's Roddy Rod.
-Make it quick, Roddy Rod.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, Westside Ridge,

this for all
my homeboys still locked down.

Big Otis,
you know this is for you!

Yo, yo, yo,
for my ex-girlfriend.

Hey, yo, you can come back to
the church now

because we got a grant.
We got money.

Oh, and we got brand-new
church fans.

New communion.

-The MLK's out-
-Communion.

Yeah, new communion plates.

And it's real alcohol this time.

You did it.

No, wedid it.

I gotta admit, I didn't think
you had it in you.

Now, that's a weird way
to say congratulations.

Corey, it's not that I doubted
your heart.

It's just that Bethlehem Temple
is not an easy ship to steer.

God knows you came in
like a storm.

-[Stinney] Mm. Mm.
-[Mother Jean] Didn't he?

A storm?

Corey, sometimes storms come
to clear the air.

Wash away all of the things that
have been holding you back.

But now I see that maybe that's
what we needed.

Wow.

Oh, that feels good,
Mother Jean.

That feels...

I'm gonna put that
under my pillow tonight.

Go and celebrate
with your little friend.

Pastor Carr.

-We did it.
-I'm so proud of you.

-Thank you.
-[both chuckling]

-[Corey] You ready? Let's do it.
-I'm ready. Let's go.

We out here-

All right, thank you, guys.
That's good.

All right.

...for my boy!
He came from a hard life-

-All right! Move!
-Okay, all right.

Oh, my God,
you need to get saved.

Move to the right! All right.

Corey, you put on quite the show
in there

and even got the W
from Mayor Wilson.

Tell us, what was going through
your mind?

I mean, it was nerve-wracking
for sure,

but I just wanted
to make sure that-

Wait a minute. What's that?

Is this something
worth reporting?

-Seems like breaking news.
-Maybe.

He still has to take me on
that proper first date, though.

-Oh, no, you didn't, girl.
-[Corey] No, she didn't.

Tell me more.

No, no, we ain't telling you
nothing else.

You've been in my personal
business

entirely too much
this year.

-Just doing my job, Pastor.
-Fair.

Come on, Lee, let's pack it up.
We got some leads to catch.

Now, why would you put me
on blast on live TV like that?

No, it's not like that.
I just...

I got to keep you on your toes,
Mr. Fresh Cut.

See, I knew I shouldn't have let
them talk me into wearing this.

-No, I really like it, though.
-No, you don't.

I do. I just wanna run

my fingers through it
and sing Soul Glo to you.

It's going to come off
if you do that.

-You like it for real?
-I do. I like it.

Oh, I'm going to put hot glue
on when I get home.

-All right, well, let's do it.
-I'm going to keep it forever.

Well, no, listen, I'm really,
really proud of you.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

Hm-hm-hmm!
Y'all think y'all slick.

See, y'all been down at
that diner getting nasty.

Okay.

Well, as the head
of the church's PR-

Not the head of PR.

I am, and all future First
Ladies must go through Roddy Rod

publicity training.

[Corey] Whoa,
future First Ladies?

We holding hands
for the first time!

[Rodney] That's how it starts.

If you're holding hands,
you can get married.

? I'm going to church today
'cause I need Him ?

? Yeah, I need Him ?

? Let's head to the church today
'cause we need Him ?

? Churchy ?
