Original subtitles

-Alright, I'll be back. -Geneva...

-She has to be his child. -It's not possible.

Just wait till your father gets home.

-He ain't gonna do shit. -You're gonna be in big trouble.

[Jefferson] The Bible says the Lord

didn't give us a spirit of fear.

-I'm sorry. -[Jefferson] But of power...

-Hey, get that nigga! -[Jefferson] Love...

-[Jefferson] And a sound mind. -Just get your shit together.

Just tell the damn truth!

-So she's sleeping with him? -Oh, no.

Oh my God.

You gotta stop that.

OK, OK, let me try and call her. OK?

-She's not answering. -So they're fucking, huh?

[Voicemail] Please record your message.

Hey, Tiff, give me a call back, OK? All right.

Yep, they are.

OK, I'm gonna try and text her. Just, just...

You don't know him like I know him. OK?

She is no match for him.

What is that supposed to mean?

Jay is...

He's charming.

But like a snake.

And that man is gonna get whatever he wants.

-I need her to call me back. -Just forget it. Forget it.

-I can't now. -Just forget it. It's done. OK?

And he's telling her how beautiful her body is.

How they fit perfectly together.

And baby, she's enjoying that shit.

-You don't know that, Neva. -I do.

-You don't know that. -I do!

How you think Anika got here?

Are you sure?

What I'm sure of is that Anika is not William's.

What I'm sure of is I'm in love with Javon.

Oh my God.

And he's sleeping with my best friend.

-I can't. This is too much. -And my husband set them up.

This is too much.

I don't know what to do, Sheda.

You wanna know what I would do? If it were me.

Tell me. Tell me what you would do.

I would tell him the truth. You can do that.

-You would? -Yes.

He deserves to know. The truth has to be told.

Even if it's gonna shatter his whole world?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen. It was six years ago.

That's exactly what you tell him.

But you know William.

He's gonna badger me with all these questions, and...

-Answer him with the truth. -[sighs]

-He's gonna hate Javon. -As he should.

He's gonna hate me, too.

Sis.

You did this.

OK?

And you can't run from it anymore.

You can't turn a blind eye to it.

-OK? -I get it.

So you need to go home.

And face that man.

And tell him the truth.

-But what about Jay? -What about him?!

Geneva, please don't make me curse.

I'm trying to stay holy. I can't. Now, enough is enough.

At this point, William is not gonna wanna be with me.

And if I can get Jay and Anika and we can be a family.

Are you crazy? Geneva.

Must I remind you that Tiffany and Javon are currently--

All right. All right. All right.

You can stop saying that shit over and over again.

I already got flashbacks. Relax, OK?

And he's only doing that shit to make me jealous.

And that's the kind of man you want?

Hm?

I know. I know.

I just don't know what to do at this point.

I'm so conflicted.

You know what I'm gonna do?

-What? -I'm gonna pray for you.

OK.

Bow your head. Close your eyes.

Heavenly Father, we come before you right now,

oh, sovereign God, lifting up my sister.

It's Pastor Jeff.

Hey, Pastor Jeff. This is William.

Yeah. Hey, William. I know who you are.

[William] So you know it's bad when I'm calling you.

Hm! Yeah, it must be. What's going on?

My beautiful baby daughter, Anika.

-Is she OK? -She's not mine.

What? What do you mean?

[William] It means that she's not my child.

William, what are you talking about?

So, we're at the hospital. OK?

And she needed a blood transfusion.

Anyways, you know, my blood type is O, OK?

And hers is AB. There's no way that she can be my daughter.

William, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Yeah.

OK, wait, wait. Just... Just tell me from the beginning.

She was born through IVF, right?

Yes.

OK, but...

Well, see, that would give us the same blood type.

Did the hospital make a mistake?

[William] Well, that's what Geneva is saying.

That is absolutely awful.

But I don't believe her.

-Why don't you believe it? -It's just...

It's just the way Dr. Dresden was looking.

You know Dr. Dresden.

-[Jefferson] Of course. -She goes to the church.

Yeah, well, so she would neither confirm or deny.

She just kept saying, "You gotta talk to Geneva."

But hold on, hold on.

She can't do that. There are laws.

[William] I know. I know. I just...

I just feel like...

Honestly, that Geneva would lie to my face.

OK, wait, wait, wait.

Wasn't she unable to get pregnant?

[William] Yes.

OK, so then how is this possible?

Well, it was... It's like, it wasn't that she couldn't.

Oh, God.

OK? It was just that she wasn't able to.

Oh, so you think she had an affair?

I mean, what other reason is it?

Did you talk to her?

I tried, OK? But then she turns around,

she started asking me questions like I'm the one.

She's like turning shit around on me.

And I'm sorry. I don't mean to cuss. I'm sorry.

That's all right. That's all right. I understand.

I just... You know what?

It ain't nothing you can do for me.

No, no, no. No. No. We can pray. I can pray with you.

Thank you, Pastor.

Can I come see you tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll be in early. I'll clear my schedule.

So whenever you're available, I'll be available.

-OK. Thank you. -I'm really sorry about this.

Yeah. Me too.

Hey, where's Mom?

She's outside talking to Geneva.

Did you tell her what I told you?

No, I didn't.

But, Dad, I can tell something's wrong with you.

And same with Mom.

So how are you going to do this?

Kelli, I've known your mother since before you were born.

I have my ways. Don't worry about it. I got this.

OK.

And, Kelli, thank you for telling me.

Of course.

-[sighs] -Everything all right?

-No. -You want to tell me?

You know we don't talk about things

people tell us in confidence.

Yeah, I know. But I did get a call from William.

-What did he say? -He told me about Anika.

-[Jefferson] Yeah. -Yeah.

OK. So did you know she was having an affair?

-[Rasheda] Babe. -All right.

You're right. I shouldn't know.

Especially if I'm going to counsel her.

Exactly.

But can we talk about our own family business?

Oh, yes, we can.

Where's Laz? I want to talk to him right now.

OK, wait. I just feel like you should wait until tomorrow--

What are you talking about? In the car,

you were just talking about how I needed to talk to him.

I know. I just feel like tomorrow will be better.

Why?

The way you came in here and sat down is the reason why.

-You know I know you. -Rasheda?

Jeff, we have a lot going on.

Yes, but not too much for me to go talk to our son.

Or our daughter, who's having sex.

-What? -Yeah.

Laz says something about her having sex.

-Lord have mercy. -I know.

-Did you know? -No, I didn't know.

-What kind of parents are we? -Learning as we go.

Yeah. But nobody taught us a thing.

Yeah, but I think overall we're doing OK.

You think?

I mean, better than most of the people we counsel.

Yeah. But Rasheda, these are our kids.

I know.

They're under so much pressure,

just being in the spotlight at the church.

Yeah, but they're also human.

That's why we're nipping this weed thing in the bud tonight.

There's something I need to tell you.

-More? -I think it's more than weed.

OK, you know what? Let's get the cup.

OK, yeah. You do that.

Take it up there with you. He's passed out.

Out?

Oh, yeah. He's knocked out. Super high. Yes.

Let's go. Right now.

I think we should let him sleep it off.

Sleep it off? No! I want to test him right now,

while whatever is in his system is still strong.

I saw a different side of our son today.

What kind of side?

Violent.

-OK. -He was...

He was angry.

Well, angry and violent are two different things.

-So Kelli called you? -What did he do?

Yeah, she called you. You just don't want to break her trust.

What did he do?

That's why you came in here and sat down like that.

Rasheda, I don't want to ask you again,

because I promise you I will drag his ass out of bed,

-and make him tell me himself. -I know, I know, I know.

-Do you? -Yes.

He snatched some money out of my hand,

and then raised his fist at me.

-But he just-- -No. No buts. OK?

So what are you going to do?

I'm just going to go talk to him.

Uh-uh. You sure we shouldn't just wait till tomorrow

and maybe talk to Deacon Kalvin or...

Why would we want to talk to him?

Because he's a police officer. He could scare him.

Rasheda, I'm the man of this house.

And I've got this.

Are you gonna do one of those nice talks?

-You told me they don't work. -They don't.

You need to be firm with him.

You have never, I have never seen you be firm with him,

and that's exactly what he needs.

I hear you, don't worry.

-I've got this. -Are you sure?

I'm positive.

OK.

[somber instrumental music]

-Laz, wake up. -Leave me alone.

Your father wants to speak to you.

Laz, you heard what your mother said!

-I said leave me alone. -Laz!

Not now. Can we talk in the morning?

Why are your eyes red right now?

I was sleeping.

Are you on drugs?

-No. -You know I love you.

And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you,

but in this house there are rules,

and one of them is no drugs.

So I'm gonna ask you again, are you on drugs, Laz?

No, Dad.

OK, have it your way. Piss in this cup.

What?

You heard what I said. Piss in the cup.

No, Dad.

This is the last time I'm gonna ask you, Laz.

Just do what your father says.

-Piss in the damn cup! -No, I'm not!

Boy, don't make me ask you again!

-I don't have to pee! -Well, I guarantee

when I knock you the fuck out, you're going to have to pee!

Dad, I'm not peeing in a cup.

Not in my house, Son.

You know the problems

that the men in my family and my father have.

Not you, Son.

So I'm gonna ask you one more time, piss in the damn cup.

Dad, I'm not peeing in a cup!

Who the fuck you think you're talking to?

Mom, you just gonna let him do this?

Your mother can't save you now, Laz, not from this.

So you better piss in the cup, before I break your neck.

[suspenseful instrumental music]

-OK -Hey!

Let me go to the bathroom!

No, you're going to do it right here!

-Dad, I'm not-- -Right here!

[urinating]

[Jefferson] Put the lid on it!

Now, when we get the lab results back, what's it going to say?

It's not going to say nothing.

Look, if this tests positive for any drug,

-it's going to be a problem. -It's not going to say anything.

-So embarrassing. -Yes, it is, Son.

[door opens]

You OK?

Nope.

I just need to take a shower, OK?

-I'm gonna go get you a towel. -Nope, no, no. I got it.

I didn't know you were going to do all that.

-You said be tough, huh? -Yeah, but...

I had to speak in a language that I knew he'd understand.

-Now I got to shower and pray. -I got you.

Well done.

[door closes]

[moaning]

[both breathing heavily]

Oh my God. What in the world?

-What? -Oh my God.

-What? -It's been so long.

How long?

No, I mean like, it went so long, it's been like an hour.

OK, well does that bother you?

I've never felt anything like that in my life.

Well, that's how crazy you make me feel.

What in the world? And that thing?

What thing?

-[both laugh] -That thing.

Hey.

Oh my.

Wow.

You are so beautiful.

[tender instrumental music]

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

-Especially when you cum. -Oh, OK.

Oh, those faces you make and the sound.

[imitates orgasm]

-Stop it! -[both laugh]

You want me to leave?

No.

But you should.

-I know, I know. -I'm sorry.

-[sighs] -It's OK.

You're not going to feel guilty about this, are you?

I kind of already do.

-No, we're adults. -I know.

I don't regret it.

Yet.

-What? -Yeah.

I've just never felt anything like this in my life.

It makes me think that you've just...

-I don't know, done a lot. -What's that supposed to mean?

I haven't done as much as you.

Well, I don't think we should punish people

for their past. I just aim to please.

And you are the target.

Oh my gosh.

How many women have you--

Ooh, ooh. No, we're not doing that.

I don't think that's any of our business.

And just so you know,

I'm 100% healthy, so there's nothing to worry about there.

-OK? -OK.

Shit.

What?

I be having a lot to drink, and...

What?

I mean, is it possible...

Oh, oh. No, no. Not at all.

It's not impossible.

I'll take a morning after pill.

OK. I think that's a good idea.

Can you imagine?

No.

But I'm glad you understand.

I do.

OK. Well, I guess I gotta go then.

No, no.

Stay.

You're sure?

Yeah.

-Even though we just met? -After what we just did?

OK. OK. I got to warn you, though.

What?

Him a different animal in the morning.

Well, then you definitely have to stay.

Oh, shit.

[Tiffany moans]

[shower running] Honey?

Hey.

What's wrong?

I just never thought I'd have to do that to one of our kids.

Let alone our son.

I know.

[Jefferson] You know, my father used to beat the hell out of me.

Did you...

Did you see the look in Laz's eyes?

I did.

I don't ever want to see that look again.

I know, I know.

I know that was hard for you.

And when your father did it, he was...

He did it out of anger, or because he was high.

Look at me.

He needed to see that.

He needs to know that you are the alpha male in this house.

You are his father.

I know. But, babe, it hurt like hell.

-He'll be better for it. -I hope so.

You scared the hell out of me.

I'm sorry.

It's like, "Who is this?"

Look, just because you don't see him often,

doesn't mean he's not right here.

Well, we going to keep him deep down in there.

Yeah, because I didn't like how that felt, at all.

Well, at least he knows you mean business now.

I mean, he needed that, Jeff.

He's been too dismissive, disrespectful.

Enough is enough.

Got my man telling the truth.

A man of God cussing, using profanity.

Stop it. Stop it. Babe, just stop it.

It's like...

Oh, man.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

And we're blessed to have you.

I'm blessed to be here.

-Now it's your turn. -Mm. Mm-mm.

-With our daughter. Mm-hmm. -Wish me luck.

Yeah, well, I'll be here to support you.

Well, I get to at least drop one F-bomb.

She ain't going to need it.

With the way these teenagers are right now?

Oh, my goodness. I wouldn't have no front teeth.

Look, I got your back. The same way you have mine.

-Promise? -Promise.

Baby, I got to tell you something.

That side of you really scared me.

But it also turned me on.

I think him and Big Red should meet.

-Big Red and Dirty Red? -Dirty Red.

-Ooh, Big Red and Dirty Red. -Big Red and Dirty Red.

-Big Red and Dirty Red. -[Jefferson] There we go.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Hey, Sarah.

-How is Anika? -She's OK, she's OK.

And, uh, yeah, I'm going to keep her home from school today.

Oh, OK. And again, I'm so sorry.

-No, it's not your fault. -[Sarah] She was on the swing.

I know, I know, it's not your fault.

OK, but I do appreciate you trying to take responsibility.

-Thank you. -[William] You're welcome.

Why don't you go up and sit with her?

She's got, like, a slight headache,

but the doctor said that's to be expected.

OK.

They were going to keep her all night,

but she was doing so well, they let us bring her home.

Oh, that's great. That's great.

So, uh, if you're good,

I'm going to go to campus for a couple hours,

and I'm going to come home.

I do want to make sure she stays in the house.

I won't let her out of my sight.

Yeah, I think I'm going to stay home today, too,

-just to be here with her. -Uh, OK.

Listen, I want you to keep four eyes on her, OK?

Because four eyes are better than two. You know what I mean?

-Yes, sir. -[William] OK. All right.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

You want to talk about this?

You ready to stop lying to me?

-Stop it. -Mm-hmm. Yeah, you ain't ready.

Nah.

[sighs]

[dramatic instrumental music]

Thought you were asleep.

Mm-hmm. No, just laying here praying.

-Everything all right? -Yeah.

Well, I'm about to go for a run.

OK.

You going to talk to Kelli today?

[sighs] Yeah.

All right. Well, when I get back,

we should talk to both of them, OK?

-OK. -OK.

-Wait. -Mm.

[breathes]

-Oh my gosh! -I still love you anyway.

-Get out of here. -Still love you.

[Jefferson sighs]

[door closes]

[Tiffany] Hi, this is Tiffany. Leave a message.

Hey, Tiff. You know who this is. If you don't call me back,

I'm coming to your house.

OK.

Kelli.

-[gasps] -Oh my God!

-Somebody breaking in? -I don't know who that could be.

-[Javon] OK, wait here. -Wait, no, I have a gun in the--

No, no, I got it, I got it. [cocks gun]

[suspenseful instrumental music]

Girl, how you turn off this alarm code?

Oh my god. One-two-three-four

Oh goodness, come on.

-[Naomi] Tiff! -Tiffany!

-Ooh, damn. -It's just Naomi.

Yeah girl, tell me this new password.

Oh, girl. Girl, when did you change the alarm code?

-It's still the same. -It's not working.

Why are you here?

I actually want to talk to Mr. Lawyer.

-[Tiffany] What? Why? -Uh...

How did you know he was here?

Uh, I didn't. I just wanted to get his number from you.

And you... you couldn't call?

-No. -Naomi.

-Y'all been fucking? -OK, all right. Stop, stop.

[Naomi] I just want to know. That's what it looked like.

Go home. I will have him call you. OK?

-Why? He's right here. -Half naked.

Yeah, I see that. How was that thing, girl?

[Tiffany] Naomi!

What? Did you knock the dust off that thing? It's been a minute.

-Out. Now. -[Naomi] OK, OK, OK.

Girl, I just want to ask him a quick question. Is that OK?

Yeah.

I mean, well he's got his manhood out.

-Well, don't look at him. -OK, OK, fine.

I looked you up, and you're a very good attorney.

-Thank you. -And you're criminal, right?

Correct.

So, I got a call that I may get arrested, again, for assault.

Are you currently out on bail?

-It was just coffee. -What did you do this time?

I threw some dead flowers on that hoe at the hospital,

now she all broke up about it.

Naomi, I can't. I can't with you.

-[Naomi] What? -I'll make a few calls.

Go call, thank you. Appreciate ya.

We kissin'. She like you.

Girl! How was that thing? Oh my god!

I need you to go home.

No, no, no, please don't. The police may come get me. No.

Well, then the police come get you.

No. Girl, I'm just gonna stay here.

I don't want you to stay here.

Hm? That's not right. You used to tell me everything.

Go sit.

OK, well, I'm actually gonna go to the bar,

because that's where the drinks are at.

Naomi, it's 7 a.m.

Girl, but how can I drink all day

if I don't start in the morning?

[Bridgette sighs]

-Good morning. -Good morning.

You see? You still work here.

Yeah, but I don't know for how long.

-You'll be fine. -I did talk to him last night.

Oh? How'd that go?

It was fine, but that's not what I'm worried about.

What are you worried about?

He wants me to talk the First Lady.

Oh. Yeah, that's definitely something to be worried about.

I know.

Yeah, she won't fire you either.

How can you be so sure?

Because you're the best assistant he ever had.

I mean, she even said that herself.

She did?

Myron, yes. We all know that.

-Wow. -[Bridgette] But listen.

You need to get your feelings in check.

What do you mean, my feelings?

Myron.

You really gonna stand here and lie,

to me, yourself, Pastor, and God?

Bridgette, I'm not lying.

Well, look. Whatever you call it, get them in check.

-OK? We got work to do. -You're right.

And this is important, OK?

This, this is the house of God. OK?

You got all this foolishness carrying on and everything.

Get it together.

-You OK? -Yes.

Well, you seem a little extra snappy today.

-I'm fine, thank you. -OK.

Don't you got some work to do before he get here?

-Yes, I do. -OK, well, get to it.

Yes, ma'am.

Acting like you want to get fired.

[Bridgette sighs]

-I'm sorry. -Mm-hmm. It's OK.

-No. I'm really sorry. -It is fine.

So, is she gonna get arrested again?

-Yeah. -Great.

It was another county, so...

-She has to go to jail. -Indeed.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I arranged for her to turn herself in,

so they don't have to go to the house.

That's good, I guess.

Yep. She needs to do it at 11 a.m. this morning.

OK.

You wanna know why I made it at 11 a.m.?

Why?

So we can send her ass home and get back in this bed.

Well, OK. Let's send her home then.

All right, let's. I already told you how I am in the morning.

You think last night was something? Shit.

Get out of here. Let's go.

-OK. -What's up?

Well...

I set it up for you to turn yourself in

at 11 a.m. this morning.

-11 a.m.? -Yes.

You're gonna meet me at the Hampton County Jail,

wait for me in the parking lot, I should be able to walk you in,

walk you right back out.

Hmm. I like you. He's a keeper.

Yeah. [clears throat]

OK, so, so you can go.

Oh. Y'all want privacy?

Yes. That's the idea.

Javon, you must got the magic stick.

No, she don't give nobody a chance.

I'm for real. Uh-uh. For real. You stayed the night, too?

-You... Bladow. -Bye, Naomi. Bye.

-[Naomi] Huh? -Bye.

OK, fine. Fine, fine, fine.

OK, listen. 11 a.m. this morning.

Got it.

All right. Do not be late, please.

I called in a lot of favors for this.

I won't. I gotcha.

-All right. -[Naomi] Thanks.

-Yeah. -[sighs]

OK, fine. I'll go then. Appreciate you, Javon.

-Mm-hmm. -Tiffany, I love you, girl.

And I'm taking your glass.

Cheers up to this new thing. Girl! You better go.

All right, love you!

-Love you. -[Naomi] Bye!

Goodbye.

-[door closes] -[Tiffany sighs]

-Is she OK? -No.

Seems like she's got quite a bit going on.

Yeah, you have no idea.

I think she might need some help.

Yeah, well, help would be a therapist.

Mm. I know one or two.

Well, the last three she had told her not to come back, so...

-Damn. -Yeah. Yeah.

-It's like that? -It's deep trauma.

-Oof. I'm sorry. -We all are.

-But we love her. -That is a lot of love.

Oh, yeah. I mean, if you knew how she was

there for us when we didn't have money, it's just...

It's a long story.

-Gotcha. -Yeah.

-Well, glad I could help. -Yeah.

I'm glad she's got you.

Well, she don't got me like you got me.

-Oh? -Think I got time to show you.

[Tiffany laughs]

-Hi, Mom -Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait.

-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. -I'm gonna miss the bus.

No, your father and I are gonna take you and Laz

to school today, so you don't have to worry about being late.

-Why? -Because I want to talk to you.

Oh. About... sex?

Yes, about sex.

How long have you been having it?

I haven't.

So your brother's lying?

Yes.

And why would he do that?

Have you not seen him lately?

Are you sure?

Mom, I'm telling you, I'm not having sex.

OK. OK. OK. OK. I guess I have to trust you.

But I was gonna say, if you...

thought about having sex, then I just feel like--

Well, the Bible says that I should wait till I'm married.

Yes. I taught you that a while ago.

That's not what I was gonna say.

What I was gonna say is, if you change your mind

and you decide you want to have sex,

there's a lot that you need to know. And I just...

I want you to come to me first.

-Weird. -What's weird about that?

What isn't?

I just...

Mom, I know about sex and pregnancy and STDs.

You teach it at the church, OK?

-Well-- -[Kelli] I got it.

-I... Kelli. -Wait, Mom. Really.

OK, OK, I'll come and I'll talk to you. Can I just, please?

What are you in such a rush for?

I really don't want to be down here when Laz comes down.

You know what kind of mood he's gonna be in.

-OK, OK, OK, fine. -OK.

-Thank you. All right, love you. -I love you, too.

-Bye. -Bye.

[sighs]

That went well.

-Hey, good morning. -Good morning.

I'm so glad you're here. I want to talk to you about something.

OK, cool.

But listen, I don't want you to get upset, OK?

Oh boy, what'd he do now?

I saw him.

-Where? -He was at my house.

Really?

But I put him out, OK? He's not staying there.

OK. Good.

-Well, I mean-- -Where did he go?

Well, hold on--

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm! Where did he go?

Kalvin, listen to me. OK?

Just hear me out. I talked to him, right?

And you...

You know how we mentor all the kids here at the church, right?

-He's 30, Bridgette. -I know.

I tried to mentor him by giving him a job.

Look, Kalvin.

You know, he didn't... He didn't have his daddy there.

Right? And do you know his mama?

His mama had him selling to friends at 13.

Could you imagine that, Kalvin?

Why are you telling me all this?

If he gets a record, he'll never have a job.

-Oh, and that's my problem? -[Bridgette] Kalvin.

You know I could've broke his face. And his neck.

I know, I know.

-I was a professional boxer. -I know that, too.

-Turned police officer. -I know.

And I still got it.

I get that, and you don't have to prove nothing, OK?

-You don't. -Then tell me where he is.

I don't know.

[sighs]

Then what are we talking about here, then, Bridgette? Huh?

I was just...

I was just wondering if you could just...

just show him a little grace?

Oh, yeah. The same grace he showed me?

-Look. -Look, where's my key?

I don't know.

Look, I'm not giving him nothing until he gives me my key.

It's gonna cost me over $9,000 to get them machines rekeyed.

Oh, my God. I didn't... I didn't know that. Um... OK, I...

I'll call him, and I'll tell him. How's that?

So you do know where he is.

No, I don't. But I can... I can call him.

You really care about this little boy, huh?

Kalvin. I'm just trying to help him.

And you love him?

You know what, Kalvin? I'm not doing this with you today, OK?

-It's none of your business. -Yeah, you do. You love him.

You know what, Kalvin?

That's all. I actually have to get back to work.

That ain't nothing but trouble for you, man.

And I know he's still at your house.

And he's not, since you know everything.

Yeah. Right.

-Hey, babe. -How was your run?

Not long enough.

Well, I talked to Kelli, and she swears she's not having sex.

Do you believe her?

Mm. I told her I would take her word for it.

OK.

And that if she changed her mind,

that she could come and talk to me first.

OK.

I let her take the bus to school this morning.

-All right. Fine. Um, is Laz up? -Not yet.

Hmm. All right. It's time.

Come on. Let's go get him up.

-All right. -We gotta do this together.

[Rasheda groans]

[Jefferson laughs]

[Rasheda] Oh, boy.

Wake up! [door closes]

Laz, you hear your mother talking to you, right?

Come on, Son. Wake up.

-[Rasheda] Laz? -[Jefferson] Laz?

-Baby, he's cold. -What? Move. Move!

[Jefferson] Babe, look, call an ambulance.

-He's not breathing! -Babe, call an ambulance.

[dramatic instrumental music]

Come on, Laz. Come on, Laz. Wake up!

Wake up!
