Original subtitles

Look at him, this wannabe thug, running around the city,

making things worse for everybody.

Lord have mercy.

These young folk just throwing their lives away.

Thank you for coming in this morning.

I know it's been a long road for you,

but we just wanted you to come down, see

if you can make a positive ID.

Right.

Well, he was masked, and it was dark.

It happened really, really fast.

Take a closer look at him, Keisha.

Look at his eyes.

He admitted to it.

And we just wanted to get your eyewitness account

to make our case stronger.

We'll be handing him over to the DA

in the morning for arraignment.

The dude that shot Rome was-- he was aggressive.

That can't be him.

It's him, Keisha.

Now, he admitted it.

Y'all got a weapon, surveillance?

Quincy, give us one second, all right?

Thank you.

Come on, Keisha.

We talking.

Keisha, it's been almost a year.

Now, it's time that you put this all behind you.

The Memphis Police Department investigated this.

You got to let them do their job, baby girl.

It's time to let it go.

You got to move on with your life, honey.

I love you.

I love you too.

Okay, come on.

Thank you, Quincy, for moving on this.

We appreciate your hard work.

Jerome's family and loved ones deserve swift justice.

What's his name?

Excuse me?

I want to know his name.

Trent Frederic.

Hey, good morning.

Mm-hmm.

I do not do morning after breath, sir.

Oh, really?

You seemed to like my pearl tongue last night.

I enjoyed every part of you.

Mm-hmm, especially my magic horn.

Coltrane ain't got nothing on you.

Hey, look, I know it's a little corny and

everything for a man to be getting

all in his feelings and shit, but

I really like you, Caroline.

I do.

I can see us taking trips together,

enjoying each other's company.

That sound fine.

Yeah?

Where?

I don't know.

I mean, I ain't got Bora Bora money or nothing like that,

but I hear the water there at Casper Lake ain't too murky

this time of year.

Oh, hell no.

I know you pulling my leg.

Oh, look, why don't you come to Miami

with me on my next haul?

Yeah, yeah, the trip's next weekend.

You can ride shotgun in the rig.

It ain't the smoothest ride, but I see that you

can handle it a little rough.

Oh my god, Rob.

I would love to go on a trip with you.

- Yeah? - Yeah, a trip is long overdue.

I've never been to Miami, or Houston, or New York, or DC,

let alone London or Paris.

Look, I'll just say it, it amazes me that an ex-husband

with deep pockets like Savion hasn't taken

you all over the world.

I cheated myself out of a good life with Savion

because I was trying to prove to him that I

wasn't with him for his money.

I invested my heart and soul into that man

because I believed that, at his core, he was sincere.

I believed in him.

Yeah, well, Savion is a damn fool.

You hear me?

Look, any man lucky enough to find a woman like you,

he knows he's got a diamond.

You hear me?

Shit, I used to work my fingers to the bone, day and night,

trying to pay for my wife's chemotherapy treatments.

Yeah, I gave all that I had, all of it.

It still wasn't enough.

Money ain't everything.

When the church was small, things were good.

But as it grew, Savion learned how to squeeze

a dollar until it hollered.

Now he's cheaper than a polyester suit.

On paper, the IRS thinks he makes under six figures.

I'm the only one that know the truth.

He carries those tithes and offerings

by cash all by himself because he don't trust anybody else.

Only some of that money makes it into the church's account.

Money is the root of all evil.

See, that's why people lose faith in the church.

No, the Bible says, trust in God, not man--

unless it's your accountant or your divorce lawyer.

You know, my healthy alimony payments

keep the peace and my mortgage paid.

Sometimes, I help Keisha with her bills,

but I don't tell her it's from her daddy cause

because she won't take it.

Yeah, purse money is the testimony.

I can buy my own damn flowers,

and I can travel anywhere I want to go.

But traveling alone ain't as fun.

Yeah, I hear you.

You know where I want to go right now?

Where?

Back downtown.

Can I get you something?

Yeah, Bonafide's head on a platter.

I'm laid up with my ribs cracked

over a motherfucking she-he.

That shit went viral on the gram,

and my niggas looking at me like I'm slow.

Nobody told you to put your hands on me like that, Ed.

You was raging.

You snatched me off the side of the rink

like I was some side jawn or something.

You embarrassed the shit out of me,

running around town with that dyke.

Are you taking her side?

I'm taking my side, Ed.

I don't owe you shit.

This ain't over, Ty.

I'll be goddamned if I let a bitch like that disrespect me.

Hell, no, man.

Man, look, you just need to let that go cause

you ain't going to do shit.

You ain't no gangster, so stop fronting.

Look like you crawling back to the hand that feeds you.

Here you go, baby.

Ain't nobody crawling nowhere.

Me and my daughter live here.

Not for long with your two-faced ass.

I don't even know what Eddie ever seent in you.

Had to be thinking with the wrong damn head.

And I don't need to strap on my manhood neither.

I'm a real nigga.

- You a square. - You set up my son.

You knew what you was doing, and now

you got the nerve to walk your little butt back in here

like nothing happened?

Eddie was manhandling me at the rink.

He should have never put his hands on me.

I was just talking to your ungrateful ass.

You need to finish nursing school

so you can get a real job and take care of Deja.

That's what you need to do.

That's so damn right 'cause if it wasn't for Deja,

your low-rent ass would be living

in a homeless shelter, chasing some

pipe dream around on skates.

You don't even know how good you got it here, baby girl.

I sacrifice and take all y'all abuse so my daughter can

have family bonds with y'all, but what I ain't going do is

sit here and suck on your mama's titty like this punk

ass mama's boy you raised.

Get the fuck out of my house, you bum bitch!

Mommy!

Grandma, why'd you hit my mommy?

You need to go back to your room, baby.

This is grown folks' business, all right?

It's okay, baby.

Everything going to be all right.

Go pack your stuff. We out, okay?

Where are we going?

Yeah, Tyra, where you going to go with my daughter?

Your girlfriend's house?

Bonafide going to hold you down?

Deja, go put your clothes in your backpack now.

Go.

Ty, you ain't taking my damn daughter

out of this house, bruh.

It's going to be over my dead body, Ty.

Whatever it got to be, Ed.

And if you ever put your hands on me in front of my daughter

again, I swear it'll be the last thing you ever do.

Girl, try me.

Try me.

What you going to do, Ty?

Live out your car?

How is she going to manage with her breathing treatments, Ty?

I take care of mine.

Well, if you could, you wouldn't

be selling your little self all over the internet,

now, would you?

So you telling your mama all my business now?

I got to do what's right for Deja.

You got naked videos all over the internet.

What's your baby going to think about you

when she get older, huh?

That I tried my best.

Well, your best ain't good enough.

I'm ready, Mommy.

Come here, baby.

Mommy and Daddy had a talk, and we

think it's best if you just stay at Grandma's house, okay?

Just for a little while.

But I want to go with you.

I know, baby.

I promise, I'm going to come back and get you.

I promise.

Be a good girl for Mommy, okay, Pooh Bear?

I love you.

Deja.

Don't be trying to dickmatize me by making

me breakfast in your boxers.

What you talking about?

Just trying to show you what you deserve.

You know, when my--

when my wife got sick, I just got a little more domesticated,

I guess, and took up cooking, and been throwing down

in the kitchen ever since.

Rob, I've been thinking about the partnership idea.

I can help you get your business loan.

What?

You were right.

The church's success is my success too.

I earned it.

So I can get you the financial documents

that you need from the church to move forward,

but I'm going to need an MOU detailing

the return on investment.

Are you serious, Caroline?

I mean, that's-- that's a big commitment.

You made me smile again.

You made me feel like a woman.

It's the least I can do.

Damn, I feel like I'm on "Shark Tank" or something.

Thank you.

And-- and I promise I'll get you your ROI within six months.

I promise.

I don't want to put you in an awkward position

or anything like that. - Oh, you don't?

You sure about that?

I used to handle all the financial records,

so getting the necessary documents ain't an issue.

Plus, Savion's so busy chasing Farrah around the pulpit,

he won't notice.

Consider me your angel investor.

Well, you know, because of you,

I'm starting to believe there really is a God.

He's real, and he's in the blessing business.

You know, I really think that I'm

going to enjoy riding shotgun.

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh

♪ Now you've seen all that I've done ♪

♪ I'll tell you what it is ♪

♪ That I've been counting on ♪

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not jump to conclusions.

Pastor Taylor is a man of God that we all love and respect. - Kyle Simmons is accusing PT of having an illicit affair

with his wife, Farrah, for the past few years,

sometimes even meeting right here in PT's office,

engaging in all kinds of ungodly acts.

Those false accusations are baseless.

Now, how did this matter even rise

to this level of conversation?

I don't know, but Kyle swear before God

he'll stand up on Sunday before that congregation

if we don't do something.

Now, he wants you out.

He even threatened to go to the local news and do an interview.

Now, look, we can't afford this kind of negative attention.

Tithes, offerings, will be the first thing

the congregants pull back on.

This kind of behavior damages the church image severely.

Alleged behavior.

Look, I'll admit his wife, Farrah, is attractive,

work of art.

But I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Now, I put my blood, sweat, and tears

into building this church up off a tent meeting

of 12 faithful disciples.

Deacon, you were there.

I washed feet, I kissed babies, I scrubbed toilets.

I even served the Lord on a $100-a-month minimum salary.

10 years of service, and this is how I get treated?

Kyle Simmons is stirring up trouble,

and God is not the father of confusion.

Now, in the Bible, in Matthew 20:26,

it says that whosoever wants to become a leader among

you must become your servant.

Now, before you can become a leader,

you must learn how to follow.

Now, any man who's sinless, you cast the first stone.

Yeah, we all fall short of the glory,

but we must repent and turn from our wicked ways.

Is this about you becoming executive pastor?

You want my job, don't you, Deacon Jones.

Well, you don't have the right to lead.

You can't follow.

Hey, don't try to spin this to be

about my selfish ambition, PT.

I made a vow to follow Yahweh, not your way.

Hold on.

Hold on, brother.

Not in the House of the Lord.

Come on.

Okay, all right.

Look, I'll meet with Kyle, face-to-face.

We'll clear this up right away.

I promise you.

I'll take care of it.

Working late?

Pastor, I wanted to let you know

that we started out on the same team.

I've been with you through the ups and downs,

and I've never wavered.

Is that an apology, Deacon Jones,

for the blatant disrespect earlier?

It's an olive branch, Savion.

We still have a lot of work to do, together.

The Bible says, be wise as a serpent,

but harmless as a dove, but be on guard for men.

The crown is heavy, and the biggest thing you can offer

is loyalty.

Oh, I'm as loyal as they come,

but I'm still going to tell you the truth.

Well, tell it then.

Our membership numbers have been on a steady decline.

Folks is talking amongst themselves.

You blaming me?

I'm blaming everybody, but folks

have lost faith in the church because too many leaders today

ain't leading by example.

The people will come around.

They know our hearts.

They know what we do for the community.

Now, we have the youth center, the homeless ministry,

and the benevolence fund.

But isn't that all smoke and mirrors?

Deacon Jones, I love my congregation.

I know you do.

I mean, that's why I'm still here,

but we can't just talk about it.

We have to be about it.

People need real help.

All some folks got is us.

Yeah, well, we help when we can,

and offerings ain't what they used to be.

And yet you found a way.

People ain't blind, Savion.

I know you defend me.

You always have my back, Deacon Jones.

And for that, I think it's time for a raise.

I don't serve money, and I--

I didn't come here for that.

So you don't want it?

I want to make real change in my community, God's way.

I've always had a lot of respect for you.

We've known each other a long time.

You're a righteous man, like myself.

You be blessed beyond measure.

Let's figure out how to spread God's love in a meaningful way.

Thank you, Pastor.

I guess we'll leave you to it.

Put that in your benevolent fund.

We need a new remote control.

Hell, a new TV.

Bitch, we need a whole new station.

Where are you at?

I'm at one of my classmate's house.

You know, a little study session.

We're taking a break right now, though.

Oh, I'm fitting to hit her up.

What's happening?

What you doing?

Nothing, making dinner for my G Pops.

We celebrating his 70th.

What's wrong, Ty?

I'm just sick of Eddie and his

bitch-ass mama always questioning me

about how I take care of Deja.

We had a big fight.

Yeah, I'm working on that.

Your boyfriend's out of surgery.

He's alert.

He wants to see you.

Thank you.

The femur fractured in three places,

and the fibula tibia was also cracked.

So we had to put three screws in your leg.

Man, doc, what do all that mean?

Well, the femur is the longest,

strongest bone in the body.

It's a critical part of your ability to stand and move.

The femur also supports a lot of important muscles,

and tendons, and part of the circulatory system.

Now, you won't be able to put any weight on that injured leg

for three to four months.

You're going to be hobbling around on crutches.

Man, what?

Man, I can't be on crutches that long, Doc.

I'm in the whole skating competition.

Wait, so that mean he ain't fitting to be

able to skate no more?

It's going to be a while before you're back

in skates, if at all, Vaughn.

You'll need physical therapy to help restore strength and

flexibility to your muscles.

And pray that you heal right.
