There has beena surge in violent crimes and burglary in Shelby County over the last few weeks.

Most notably are car thefts, up 27% from this time last year.

And residents are fed up.

Community organizers are blaming this

on jobs in the community--

stating that they need more investments,

more resources so they can give greater opportunities.

Why y'all gotta be so good?

Hey, girl.

Beach, you see that video Orange Mile Pound just posted?

Mm-hmm, I seen that weak shit.

It only got like, 600 views.

What? In four minutes?

Hold on, let me get Fran on the line.

What these bitches want from a nigga?

Wait a minute, Fran.

Them Gucci shades real, or you got 'em from the flea market?

Bitch, these real.

Don't do me.

Yeah, I got 20/20 vision in these motherfuckers.

Anyways, Orange Mound Pound just posted

a skate video killin' shit.

They just did some shit with the grapevine,

and I ain't never seen this shit before.

Maybe we can take that move and

do it on one leg or something.

We just need Fran to work on them leg extensions

like we showed them.

Listen, I ain't got Megan Thee Stallion knees.

I keep telling y'all that.

How y'all expect me to be as good as them in three weeks?

By practicing, like the rest of us.

Exactly.

- I'm hungry. - Hold on, y'all.

Deja just woke up.

Hey, baby.

Morning.

How'd you sleep?

Good.

I got you right here, your favorite.

Thank you.

Hi, yeah, I'm back.

All this talk about the competition and

who's doing what-- does everybody

have their registration fees?

I got mine.

I got mine, too.

Ty?

Good morning, baby.

Morning.

I'm working on it.

Stay tuned.

Why would she hang up?

Pop Tarts again, Ty?

That's what we got 'em for, ain't it, to eat?

Not every damn day.

But I like 'em.

She like 'em.

Look, you was out all night.

The least you can do is fix your daughter a good damn meal.

That's what y'all like to do, gang up on me.

Girl, ain't nobody ganging up on you.

If I'm out working all day, just cook a meal every now

and then, like my mama said.

I gotta work too, Ed.

Going to nursing school is work.

Going to auditions is work.

Don't even come at me like that.

Well, since you work so hard and

you finding your own damn way, why don't

you pay a bill around here.

Here.

That's the cable bill.

You should be able to handle that one.

Thought so.

Look, I need a favor.

What, Ty?

Me, Kiesha, and Fran signed up

for the Skater Aid competition at the rink.

This prize money gonna set us all straight.

Fran the Man?

Oh.

Fran can't even skate, Ty.

Fran skate like she got a nail stuck in her foot.

How y'all gonna win that shit?

Get real.

We got a real shot if we work hard enough.

I just gotta pay my portion of the registration fee.

What that gotta do with me?

I ain't got it right now.

Thank you.

You got your priorities fucked up.

Just pay it for me and I'll break you off when we win.

You need to hit your girl up and see if they're

hiring down at Pork N Things.

That's what you need to do.

You want me to respect you so bad like a man,

but you can't even support me like one.

Don't worry about it, man.

I'll figure it out.

Stupid.

Bye, baby.

Bye, Daddy.

Lord, I just pray that you get everyone

home safe today, Lord.

Allow them to have a productive week, Lord.

In Jesus' name, Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Amen! - Amen.

God is good, ain't he?

All the time.

When is God good?

All the time.

All the time. Hallelujah.

Amen.

Before I let you go today, I'd like

to talk to the congregation.

Is that all right with y'all?

Thank you.

Hallelujah.

Now,

we've all seen media attacks.

Rumors about me.

The media is trying to corner me in, bringing up my past.

I hear the baseless rumors accusing me...

of adultery in church.

And even saying I'm abusing the church's fund.

But anyone that will lie hates who they lie to.

Amen?

Amen.

Amen.

So let me talk to you

directly, the media.

Create your stories.

Tell your lies. - Tell your lies.

Tell 'em.

But what you won't do is tear down my work--

Amen!

or the work I do in this community--

all the kids I've helped, all the scholarships I

gave, all the families I fed.

No, no, no. No way!

There's only one question.

What have you done?

Amen.

Tell me, armchair preacher.

The couch critics, the media, what have you done?

Tell 'em.

Tell 'em.

You ain't gotta love me.

But this work will get done.

Amen?

Amen.

Amen.

You will not stop me from getting this center running.

And you will not stop me from doing God's work!

Amen? Amen!

Hallelujah! - Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Now, I need y'all to show the media how we

get down in Southern Faithful.

Amen? - Amen.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah!

God is good! - Amen.

He's good, ain't he?

Yes, Lord.

I need y'all to rise up out of y'all's seats,

and I need y'all to give a love offering of $500 or more.

Now, I know some of you are worried about your expenses,

but I need y'all to step out on financial faith and know

that God has got you covered.

Amen?

Amen!

Amen!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Amen.

- What was that about? - I ain't never put more than $2 in a basket before.

You trying to buy your way into heaven or something?

How the hell do you think we stay

safe in these streets, man?

That 45 ACP tucked in your waistband.

Shh.

You ask me, look like you could have put a little bit more

in that collection plate.

Boog, that's my money for the Skater Aid.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Still got the receipt for them Gucci shades?

What?

They're not Gucci shades.

Thank you, brother.

Excuse me.

Take care. - Bye, Miss Amy.

What's up with you?

Keisha, what are you doing here?

This is my daddy church.

What the hell are you doing here?

It ain't Easter.

Hey, Miss Carolyn.

How you doing?

Blessed by the best friend.

You staying out of trouble?

All the time.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you so much for coming.

The gatekeeper, huh.

Mm-hmm.

Look, I'ma sit this one out.

I'm gonna head out in the back, all right?

Mama got plans.

Okay.

Well, I'll cover for you if he asks.

I don't need covering, I'm grown.

What's up with you and Boog?

Y'all fucking?

No, we're not fucking.

Just cooling.

Cause it looked like he all of a sudden tricking on you.

When you get them shoes?

Boog ain't tricking on me, he cheap as hell.

Just working together, doing a few jobs, that's all.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Well, you should have more than enough money

for your registration fee.

I think I knew your ass gonna be at church today?

I ain't got it on me.

I'ma have it tomorrow, though, so don't even trip.

Okay.

So where are you headed after this?

Gotta go twist some hair.

Oh, head you splittin'?

Vaughn nappy head over there.

What?

Wow, fraternizing with the competition, I see.

Come on, man.

You know I'm playing by my paper.

It ain't even nothing like that.

Yeah, I hear you.

But do you hear yourself?

Bye, Keish.

Bye, Fran.

Bye.

Worry about your little Boogie Boo.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye, baby.

What the fuck going on, C?

That's it for me, man.

It was good while it lasted.

You got fired?

Said laid off, they say its sound better.

Fuck.

Hey, I'm good though, man.

I was tired of this job anyway.

Shit got my back hurting, making my hands raw.

You know I always wanted to be a hand model.

But I'm going to fuck with you for lunch one last time.

Ooh, shit.

♪ I like it when she throw it back to me ♪

So what y'all boys, man?

What's good with you.

What y'all looking at?

Nothing, man.

That sound like Bona Fide.

What's she talking about, gangs?

Some bullshit, you know Bona Fide.

You know what I'm saying.

Let me see it, bro.

You good, bro.

Damn, cuz.

You ain't gonna let me see the video?

I'm just saying, bro, this a-- you know what I'm saying?

Bro, you sure you want to see this?

Why wouldn't I?

Show the fool, bro.

Oh, my god.

Adorable.

You're so stanking cute.

Oh, he love me, though.

He loves me.

Now, this right here, that's Grizzly.

And he the baddest pup in the whole kennel.

Now he may look cute and sweet, but he a little monster.

Now he gonna grow up to be like Galvatron over there.

And what you feeding him?

Raw meat seasoned with red pepper.

Mm.

He love me, though.

How much are you selling him for?

He going for about three racks.

$3,000?

For one puppy or for the whole kennel?

Money, baby.

Come on.

Shit. - What's wrong?

Nothing.

I lost my kennel key a while back,

so I had to replace the locks.

And I thought I replaced this one, but I guess I didn't.

I'll usually go around the back, though.

Come on. - Oh, no.

It's okay. Come here, baby.

Now see, Grizzly, he's a purebred blue nose.

so he rare just like you.

Really?

No chaser, huh? 'Cause you coming on real strong.

By giving you a compliment?

By sending me a dick pic last night.

It was a little too much.

Hmm. A little much?

Yeah.

Like, you saved it to your favorites or what's up?

Like, I sent it to all the girls, and we laughed.

What?

I'm kidding.

Are you packing a 380?

Now, what are we doing about this hair?

So where you want me at?

Boy, sit your flexing ass down.

Girl, ain't nobody flexing.

I just want to make sure you don't get none of that grease

on my fresh tee.

Damn.

Hey.

Sit up.

Damn, what's wrong?

This angle ain't gonna work for me.

You know, Keish, I didn't think you was gonna show up.

What?

You paying, I'm staying.

Don't worry.

I got your money.

Oh, I won't worry. 'Cause I will leave

your head halfway done, have your ass

looking like Method Man.

As long as you be my Mary J.

Let me guess, your mama?

She used to listen to him all the time.

Word.

They must be paying you well--

this big ass house and shit.

I do a'ight.

My pops left the crib to me after him and my mom

split, though.

Oh, what happened?

Typical shit.

Pops had an affair with this Hispanic chick, moved down

to Florida to be with her.

He got a whole other family now.

This nigga like the father of the year.

Damn.

Probably be getting him Father's Day ties and shit

and all that. - That's crazy.

Yeah.

I mean, he left the house to my mom, but she ain't want it.

She said it was too many memories attached to it.

I guess by leaving it to me, it made

him feel like he wasn't such a bitch ass nigga or something.

Well, at least he did one thing right--

got up out of here.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Where to?

LA.

I'm finna be the celebrity hairstylist on

"Ro-dee-o" Drive.

You know, Hollywood where the rich folk at.

You mean "Ro-day-o" Drive.

"Ro-dee-o" is on the other side of town.

Oh.

Wait a minute.

What you know about Cali?

I got family that stay off Crenshaw.

What?

Hey, now, look, when you go out there,

maybe I'll come visit.

You know, I always wanted to skate on the beach in Venice

like them folks in the movies.

Hey.

When me and my girls win a competition,

that money gonna set us straight.

We just need to tighten up a few moves or whatever,

'cause Orange Mound Pound out there looking

good, and your girl, Bria.

Keisha, that is not my girl.

She just don't know how to take a hint.

Hmm.

Well, whether you want to claim her or not,

I can't have her dusty ass outshine us.

Hey, now, Bria and Orange Mound Pound

ain't even who you need to be checking for, for real.

Who I need to check for?

'Cause my squad, The Hopeless Romantics--

- Please. - Yeah.

We cleaning house, baby.

Come on now.

You've got to be playing with that name.

Man, I'm serious as a felony charge.

Girl, stop playing with me.

Now, look, when we win,

might help you out with your move.

You might have to take the Greyhound bus

across the country, but I'll make sure you get that money.

Don't worry about it.

It's okay, 'cause we'll already have it.

Don't worry, I got you.

You're my dawg.

Hey. This seat taken?

Sorry.

I'm waiting on a bearded man with a flannel shirt

and faded jeans.

You know where he might be?

Do I really look that different?

You clean up nice.

Well, thank you.

And you look beautiful as usual.

So, uh, dim light, the corner booth--

Let me find out that you're on the run.

We all running from something, right?

Yeah. Ain't that the truth.

I just prefer to not be in a crowd of people.

Yeah?

I mean, we could have met at my place and skipped all of this.

Oh, really?

And did what?

You know, just talk.

Mm-hmm.

Carolyn, look, I'm a little curious.

About what?

I mean, how do you manage it all--

you know, the divorce, being in the public eye, all the rumors?

I-- I googled you.

I mean, it's got to be a lot on you mentally.

If it were me, well, I don't know,

it'd probably drive me to drinking again.

I mean, you on the other hand, I don't know,

you just managed to keep your sobriety through it all.

How do you do that?

I just take it one day at a time.

That's all you can do.

I'm sure the money helps, right?

You judging me?

Look--

Let him without sin cast the first stone.

I'm not casting stones, all right?

All right?

I'm impressed, actually. - Hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, you playing the game and you're good at it.

I respect that.

Look, I read about all the rumors,

you know, about Savion abusing funds,

skimming off the top and nothing sticking.

You know?

Assuming you were a big part of that, you kept his image clean

and, you know, most women would have

walked away a long time ago.

I had to keep it together, mostly for Keisha.

But now that she's older, I had to be true to myself,

so I left.

As for all that controversy--

all I can say is the man ain't no saint.

But like the people behind or in front of the pulpit,

we all got secrets.

Look, enough about me.

What's your story?

Ain't much to tell.

I mean, usually, I'm on the road

all the time driving trucks.

But since it's slow right now, I got a little free time.

You're using me to pass the time, Rob?

We're using each other, okay?

Nothing wrong with that.

As long as we don't misuse each other.

You got a way with words.

Well, I've always been that way, you know?

Working on starting my own trucking company,

and I talked myself into a whole bunch of new

clients, but--

What's stopping you?

The money.

This shit ain't cheap.

I'm still working on that part.

Are you ready to order some food?

Yeah, I think I want some fries.

Yeah, me too.

Some hot wings.

Appreciate you, man.

- All right. - Appreciate it.

Hey.

My food.

Thank you. - Thank you.

See you.

My, my.

Francis, this looks like something from one of them

bars on Beale Street.

Thanks, G-Pa.

You really think they'd hire me down there?

Well, you got all them people knocking at our front door,

drooling off the recipes that you put together.

They'd be some goddam fools not to.

You be cooking your ass off, girl.

You got that from your grandmama.

And you'd be eating your ass off.

What'd I tell you about that cussing?

But you just--

Do as I say, not as I do.

I keep telling 'em put your order in before 5:00, but they

don't ever want to listen.

Now I'm all out.

Hey, we fresh out--

fuck you doing here?

Nice to see you too.

Thought you was allergic to the South Side.

I'm allergic to ignorance and foolishness,

but I'll keep my distance from you.

Why the hell you ain't called first?

Call for what?

This is my house too.

Hey, Charlie.

Man, you come to see your old man?

I thought I told you I don't like

it when you call me Charlie.

And you've been Charlie for 32 years.

Ain't no law degree gonna change that.

And you here just in the nick of time.

Francis, fix your brother a plate.

Actually, I got dinner plans later, so--

Ain't no extras no ways.

You must want something.

Um, This came in the mail.

And because my name is listed on your bank accounts,

Granddaddy, they sent it over to me.

You haven't been keeping up with your property taxes?

Now, don't you come down here chastising me.

I get enough of that from your sister.

We ain't seen your ass in months, Charles.

Now you want to come around here and act like you care

about what the fuck going on?

It's only 17k.

You a boss.

Go ahead and pay it.

Now, Francis, what I tell you about cussing

in my motherfucking house, huh?

Granddaddy, ignoring the problem won't make it go away.

Just like family, I guess.

Francis, you ain't got no place to be,

like down at the skating rink, shaking your ass,

doing hood rat stuff with your friends?

Shouldn't you be somewhere with Becky and Tom,

getting a beer somewhere?

That's enough, both of you.

I'm tired of all this back and forth.

You two grew up here together.

He don't act like it.

He ain't even come to Grandma's funeral.

Francis, I had a big case, and you know that.

Now, Francis, we're not gonna bring up the past.

We-- we're gonna let that stay where it's supposed to be at.

Granddaddy, I know I don't visit as often as I ought to

but you can always call.

You know that.

What's this?

So this here is a form of conservatorship.

And what's politics got to do with this?

Granddaddy, no.

Conservatorship would grant me legal rights

to look after you and your financial affairs,

like selling this house, for instance.

Selling the house?

Well, why would you want to go and do some mess like that?

What other options do you have?

You either come up with the $17,000 or you lose the house.

Or you sell the house and pocket the equity.

You have a nice savings, and I know a nice retirement

community with a golf course, game nights,

and you can even meet yourself a mature, nice lady.

You're trying to put our grandpa in a home?

Is you crazy?

I ain't going to no home, Charlie,

and I ain't selling no house.

Now, your grandmother and I, we worked

our asses off to be able to afford this here house.

Now, we survived red light and racism, three foreclosures,

and a grease fire when I was trying to cook

some pork chops when I was drunk

on moonshine back in the '80s.

Granddaddy--

Boy.

Now, this is the house where we raised your father,

aunts, and uncles in.

This is the house where you two took your first steps.

This is the house where we had family

gatherings for the holidays, backyard barbecues.

This is the house where your grandmama,

my wife, took her last breath.

So good or bad, this house is full of--

full of memories.

And it'd be over my dead body

that you or anybody else

tries to take that away from me.

This is--

You heard the man.

Unless you got 17k in tax money,

I suggest you take your Carlton looking ass out our crib.

It's not for sale.

Fran-- Fran-- Francis.

Get off me!

Get off me!

Fuck this paper.

I tried this the easy way.

This ain't over.
