Previously on "Greenleaf"...

I have this old friend of mine

is the head of
bloomberg news now,

and she keeps asking me whether
I'd be open to come up there.

Good for you.

What was your last church home?

Greater Redeemer. I
had breast cancer.

That's why it's so nice
to be here at Calvary.

I really feel supported.

Bishop is definitely
one of a kind.

The only one that came
close was Pastor Skanks.

Such a shameless hypocrite.

- You don't know the half of it.
- Kerissa.

Basie: Is that the church's money
you lost in there tonight?

Give us Triumph II, and
you don't go to jail.

You keep your church,
and we get ours.

Grace: Pastor Skanks just spoke
about the need for the church

to take a firm stand
against homophobia.

I got a feeling you're
the one with the vision.

- Maybe.
- Hmm.

Mac: You know how many times
I've prayed not to go to jail?

Hundreds.

And to all those folks
who want to say,

"the Bible makes it
very clear, Pastor,

the Lord's position on this.
We don't need to discuss it."

And I say, "well, let's find out
what else the Lord makes clear,"

amen, because anybody
who wants to shut down

a conversation with me by
slamming the Bible on the table

without discussing what's in it
is going to have a problem...

With me, at least.

Let's see here.

Hebrews 13 and 4 says,

"marriage should
be honored by all.

And the marriage bed kept pure."

Y'all know some of y'all
left your boyfriend's bed

to get to church this morning.

And have you heard what
he said about shellfish

in Leviticus 11 and 9.

- Right now.
- I know you have, and, yet,

how many of y'all are heading
down to the shrimp boat

after this to take advantage of
that all-you-can-eat buffet?

Huh?

If we try to ban everyone
who does not follow

every biblical law from
entering that church,

none of us would be
sitting here right now.

You got to understand,

when God looks at each
and every one of you,

he sees you through a prism
of the blood of Jesus.

Without that blood, all our
sins would be laying before us,

people of God.

But through that blood, we all
can find the love of God,

the acceptance of God,
and the oneness of God,

a God who made us, a God who's
in us, and a God who's for us.

Amen. So I say, to the
homosexual community,

there is a place for
you among us here

for all of us that are
living under God's Grace.

Amen.

Oh, okay. I see.

It's not enough to say,
"who are we to condemn?

Let God handle that."

- Right.
- Let God handle it.

It's not enough for us to say,

like our brethren at
Calvary fellowship,

"all our welcome as long as
you hide who you really are

and don't put nothing
on social media."

At a time when the laws of the
land that protect the rights

of our gay brothers and sisters
are being rolled back every day,

it's not enough to
say, "God is love."

It's time to get specific.

It's time to say,
"God loves gays."

It's time to take a stand.

James: And then, after
preaching for two hours,

he gave an additional two-hour
interview on the topic.

But what is it on
the front page?

I assume because he
called out the city

after rolling back on
that, um, bathroom bill

after what happened in Texas.

- Oh, you're right.
- He knows how to get publicity.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

- Who's that?
- Oh, your new hero,

Basie Skanks.

He's not my hero, Daddy.

I just happen to agree with
him on this one issue.

You look exhausted.

Thanks, mama.

Hey, Charity, baby, take
Nathan for a second, please.

Are you still having
trouble sleeping?

Yeah. It'll pass.

Thank you.

Did you know that Darius was
working on a piece about Basie?

Yeah. I haven't read it yet.

And he mentions Calvary
in it by name.

- Who, Basie?
- Mm-hmm.

And Darius.

And he never asked
me for a comment.

May I have a look?

He questions whether Basie is
using this whole gay tornado

to spin the spotlight
on to himself.

Yes. At the end of the
story, on page 10,

the page that nobody
sees but the puppy.

I don't think Darius
is saying anything

that's going to make
him popular, Daddy.

Not with churches.

I just wish Basie Skanks
would keep me and Calvary

out of his stump speech.

I think he must've
interviewed Carlton.

Well, Carlton never
said anything to me.

You can't fire him again, mama.

I'd just like to know.

I'll ask him tonight.

He pays when y'all
go out, I hope.

Yes, he pays, mama.

May I keep this, Daddy?

Keep it, burn it, so long
as I don't see it again.

See, he doesn't inspire me
the way he inspires you.

Oh, Bishop.

I love you.

All right. I'll see
y'all at church.

- Say bye.
- Oh, bye.

All right. See y'all later.

Basie... he's doing it again.

And don't know if it's by design

or whether it's some
mental fixation,

but he is tugging at the threads

that hold this family together.

You're absolutely right, Mae.

We have to do something
to stop this.

What are you thinking?

I think it's time
for me and Jesus

to pay a call on Basie Skanks.

Mm.

All right.

That should do it.

Stand back.

Let there be light!

Do you even know what you did?

Do you have any idea
why it's working now

and it wasn't 10 minutes ago?

I'm just focusing on gratitude.

You are focusing on blasphemy.

This whole house
needs to be rewired.

Stan said so. Every electrician
that comes over here says so.

I think Tasha even mentioned it

when she threw the keys at me.

Look, we can't afford to
pay for it right now.

Oh, well, some trade that was.

An empty field and a money pit

all to keep some
hypocrite's secret?

Who came out on
top of that deal?

You done?

I'll be done when this house

stops twitching like
a person possessed.

Zora? Winkie?

Zora: Coming.

You know there's cash in
that "go help me" fund.

Unh-unh. No, no, no, no.

See, that's what got
Basie in trouble,

robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Watch that thieving
spirit, baby.

Okay, Pastor. You give
me no alternative

but to say something you're
really not going to like.

Try me.

Get a job.

I already have a job.

I'm ready.

Every pastor we know with a
smaller church has a day job.

Amon has his motel 6.
Jay Dalton sells shoes.

Dalton shoes is a
family business.

All I'm saying is that, unless
you can figure out a way

to get paid for
collecting compliments

about how holy you
are right now,

why not use the other six days
to rustle up some scratch?

I can pay the bills, but
I can't make enough

to renovate this money trap.

Mama!

Go see what your brother
just turned on.

Okay.

There's nothing to
be ashamed about.

- Mommy!
- I'm coming.

Get a job.

- This is the last of them.
- Oy. Oy.

I can throw it all away.

Antoine recovered most
of the hard drive.

No, I'll at least
go through it all,

see what the heck it all is.

All right.

Now that you are
outreach director,

will you still be preaching?

Not in the foreseeable future.

Well, that's a shame.

Really?

I think you're the only person

in this church to think that.

Wouldn't you miss it?

Uh, I don't think so.

Tell you the truth, I'm
still trying to figure out

where I fit in now.

Huh.

Maybe it's outreach.

Permission to speak
freely, Pastor?

Oh, Darlene. You don't
need permission.

Some folks never fit in no
matter how hard they try,

and that's okay.

I mean, I'm sure not
one of the prophets

was ever employee of the month.

Basie: Look, I've been in the
hole with you for $50,000.

You know you going
to get the money.

Just give me some time. Tell
him to give me two weeks.

That's all. Bishop Greenleaf,
right on time, brother.

If you could excuse us? We got
some church business to tend to.

Man, just don't
forget our business.

I will get you those programs

as soon as we get them
back from the printers.

Right. Et cetera. Et cetera.

Mm-hmm.

Huh. What an
unexpected surprise.

If I didn't know better,
I'd say you were on

God's angelic payroll.

What can I do you for, Bishop?

Stay away from my family.
Stay away from my church.

Don't speak my name.
Don't even think of me.

Well, when you tell a man
not to think something,

it makes it hard.

I don't know what you're up
to with this purple parade

you're now high-stepping
in the front of.

I'm just seeking justice for...

You don't know the
meaning of the word!

You tried taking me
down with Triumph II.

All you did was make
a fool of yourself

and a scene at my son.

And now you're singing this new
siren song to my daughter.

I don't know precisely why,

but I promise you I won't
part with her easily.

I think that's up
to her, isn't it?

You're flailing, boy.

I know it, and you know it.

You said the judgment is coming.

It is.

It's coming for you.

Well, I called the man a
fool in his own church.

Told him he was flailing.

And you think he
heard you this time?

Because you have cautioned
him before, multiple times.

I couldn't be any clearer.

Now, whether or not he'll heed
my call to reason this time,

or anybody's, well, your
guess is as good as mine.

But, Mae, you should've seen his
face when I walked in there.

Did you notice the
other night, James,

when Kerissa and Jacob
came over for dinner...

The way he shut her down
when she talked about Basie?

Yes. Well, yeah. I noticed it.

But do you want to
hear my story or not?

I've heard the broad strokes,

and I'll be excited
when I see results.

Fine. What is it
you're getting at?

Well, I just have a feeling
that there's more to this story

of parting ways with Basie
than they've let on.

Well, let's go over there
tonight and find out.

Over there? Over where?
To the parsonage?

You've always been after me
to give the boy respect.

Why don't we go to him for once?

Maybe it'll loosen his tongue.

- Bishop?
- Yes, Karine?

I have Rochelle
Cross on the line.

Tell her I'll call her back.

Oh, no. You go on
and take the call.

I have Dr. Butler
coming over soon.

What do you got
going with Jacinta?

Mm.

Well, I'm just inviting her

to be an honoree at this
year's women's day,

a thank you for getting the
girls into the cotillion.

Is there no ragged
end of our world

you're not knitting together?

Mm.

You give my best to Rochelle.

Mmm-mmm.

Ms. Cross?

You know, you were
just on my mind.

What can I do for you?

Oh, look, please call me James.

- Where did you get this?
- Kevin's files.

I also did some looking
through the drive

that Antoine recovered.

He was attending meetings,
like, doing the program.

Yes, I know.

They drink ipecac syrup to
make themselves throw up.

Oh, for God and heaven's sake.

Self-flagellation.

Daddy, this is why
Basie is right.

I know you believe that, Gigi.

- Did you watch his sermons?
- Yeah, I did. I did.

And he's not wrong
about the Bible.

Look, there are some folk
who still look at us

the way some of us
look at homosexuals.

And I know, just like you do,

I'm sure, what it feels
like to be thought of

as unworthy by
another human being

and how hard that can make
it to see through the fog,

to the pure light of
God's total acceptance.

Believe me, I know it all.

Which is why we can't
support this garbage.

We're not doing enough
to support the people

who actually face
those challenges.

Kevin came to Calvary every
Sunday for the past eight years,

and he heard you say,
Daddy, "God is love."

But it seems like it
didn't get through.

Are you really so scared
that you're going to

send somebody to hell
if you affirm this?

You know I don't think that.

I don't know what you think.

That is the problem with
not taking a stand, Daddy.

Okay. You want to know
what I think, Gigi?

- Yeah.
- I think that only God knows

when the homosexual will be

as welcomed into the
church as anybody else.

You're content to just wait?

No, not content.

Willing.

We got to where we are today,
Gigi, with the help of God,

but we got here slowly, more
slowly than some wanted,

but that's how long it took.

And I expect justice
in this realm

will take longer to achieve
than most want to,

but I'm prepared to
practice patience.

Because this is a problem that
doesn't affect you specifically.

No, because I know those
that fail to understand

need the love of God
as much as those

who are waiting
to be understood.

Daddy, patience doesn't
mean standing still,

waiting for something to change.

Patience is lovingly
guiding people

who don't understand into
a greater understanding.

You are the leader
of this church.

You could be the difference
between it taking 200 years

or mobilizing it
right now, today.

- No, I can't.
- Why?

Because I'm not sure.

- Why, Daddy?
- Why what?

Why do we always
have to be the ones

who have to circle back
once it's too late?

Just this once, can we get
it right the first time?

I just want to do
the right thing.

Me too.

Can you leave these with me?

Sure. Yeah.

I'll pray on it. I promise.

Thank you.

Don't do that for me.

I wasn't. I was just...

I just mean I've never
seen a face that needed

less assistance from the
powder and paint department.

Well, aren't you sweet?

How's it going?

Good.

- Oh, good to see you.
- Nice to see you.

I've had that song of yours
in my head for two weeks now,

non-stop.

And you couldn't make a demo?

No. Nobody sounded quite right,

and, if I'm giving a
song to Nicole mullen,

it needs to be... You know?

Yeah, yeah. I know.

So let me show you
what I brought you.

With this bad boy here,
in a quiet room,

you can do all your demos here.

That's great.

What's the matter?

It's got a built-in mic,
and a good one, too.

It's not that.

So what's the problem?

So you don't want me to come
to Nashville to write anymore?

No.

You don't.

No, no. I mean yes.

Yes, of course I want you
to come to Nashville.

I just want to make sure
you have all the tools

you need to stay inspired and
that I have the best person

singing the songs I'm selling.

Well, this looks confusing.

It's not.

It's just like anything,
you'll get used to it.

Watch. Let me show you.

You're gonna love this.

I promise all you'll have
to do is just sit there

and just be magnificent.

Then I will gladly accept.

The revisions to this
new book of mine

just make additional
work impossible.

Well, we won't tax
you in the least.

And what a pleasure it will
be to have Greenleaf girls

at the practice dinner tonight.

So exciting.

Yes.

You know...

about that, Rochelle Cross.

She called me on your behalf.

Yeah, a boon for
which I am grateful.

Now, how is it you
know her exactly?

Oh, she's been handling my
finances for, goodness,

- several years at this point.
- Mm-hmm.

The woman is a
wizard with money.

- Oh.
- I owe her many times over.

How did you two happen to meet?

She's been attending
church services

while she's looking for
a new church home.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

I was just so disheartened

to hear about her experience
at Greater Redeemer.

Ugh.

She told you about that?

Yes.

It was a terrible situation.

Well, that's the
impression I'm getting.

It's just such a shame
that it's still the woman

who gets blamed for
situations like that,

you know, as if men
have no self-control.

The more things change.

Do me a favor though, Mae?

Anything.

Rochelle doesn't
know that I know.

I'll be the soul of discretion.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

So the moths absorb
the pollution?

That doesn't make sense.

It makes sense.

How?

Okay, so you got to think
about how the pollution

affected everything else
in the environment.

The soot got on the trees.
The trees got darker.

So, the lighter moths, they
didn't blend in well enough,

and they got eaten.

- Mm-hmm.
- Right?

So the population

self-selected to blend
in and not get eaten.

That's how the moths got darker.

Hmm.

Can we take a break?

We just took a break.

Okay. 10 minutes.

- Two minutes.
- Okay.

Um...

- What was that?
- I'll go see.

Hey. Did you know you can get

two dozen doughnut holes
at glazes for $2.99?

No.

Hey, Pastor Greenleaf.

He's helping me with biology.

- Isaiah?
- Yes, sir.

You want to come out here?

Sure.

Doughnut hole for the road?

Nah, I'm okay.

Now, you know you're
not supposed to be

in Zora's room with the
door closed, don't you?

Yeah. I apologize. I
just thought that...

Yeah. So let me think for you.

Okay?

Think about being
respectful under a roof

that doesn't belong to you.

Think about being
mindful of the rules

her mother and I set in place.

Think about leaving
the door open.

Or think about not coming back.

House rules.

Yes, sir.

And I know you know better.

- You...
- I what?

All right then.

Pretty good, right?

You really like it
with me singing?

I do.

We make a great team.

You want to get dinner?

I told Basie, should he
find the name of my church

passing his lips ever again,

it had better be in the
context of praise.

Otherwise, the Lord's judgment

of his deliberate
twisting of scripture

won't be the only thing
he's got to worry about.

Oh! You did not.

And that wasn't half
of what I had in mind

to say either.

Well, I'm glad somebody
called him out on it.

My girlfriend sent over

the, uh, YouTube
link of that sermon.

And I tell you, he
went there and back.

I didn't see it, but
I heard about it.

Mm.

That just reinforces
my decision.

About what?

What I came here to tell you.

What was that?

I've decided to make Calvary
my new church home.

Well, jalapeño.

You're too much.

Stop. You are too much.

Oh, it's a good day.

Gigi. Hey.

What's all this stuff?

Oh, uh, outreach files
Kevin left behind.

Oh. Sorry.

Hey, not your fault.

Yeah.

Well, what's up?

What time is your date tonight?

Why?

Just tell me when it is.

It's at 6:30. What's going on?

Jabari asked me to dinner,
and mom and dad can't sit

because they're
going to Jacob's,

and Maricel is busy, and
you're busy, too, so...

Hey, we'll watch Nathan.

No. No, I don't want to impose.

The official slogan
for imposing.

You know what? Bye, Gigi.

Come on, Charity.

Seriously. I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.

Listen, the only table
I could get for two

was too early for us anyway,
so, yeah, we'll watch him.

Are you sure?

Time with my nephew?

Baby sister, come on.

Yes. Absolutely.

Oh, mm, thank you.

Yeah. Anytime.

Go get him.

All right.

So, how many jobs did you have?

I had two jobs.

I priest on Sunday mornings,

taught Bible study
on Wednesday nights.

In-between, I sold bibles
door-to-door for southwestern,

and I worked part-time
for Memphis Memorial.

Doing what?

Maintenance and groundskeeping.

Yes. And see? And
reaching the whole time.

- Mm-hmm.
- I don't remember any of that.

Well, you were a little boy.

But, I tell you what,

he looked very much like
you look right now.

- Aw.
- Kerissa, I have to tell you.

You have done a lovely, lovely
job putting this place together.

I have to say. I mean,
it feels homey.

Well, we're just lucky
that the lights are on

so you can actually see it.

I ran into your old boss today.

- Basie.
- Yes.

I paid a visit over at Triumph.

About that sermon of his?

You saw it?

It's been making the rounds.

I don't know he thinks
he's preaching to.

I think the man is hell-bent
on losing that church, too.

When I visited Basie's
office today,

I crossed paths with a man...

Tall, rough-hewn, bearded,

the kind of man that would
hang around a pool hall.

Doesn't sound like
an armor bearer.

- Mnh-mnh.
- Didn't look like one either.

Is he doing prison
ministry nowadays?

No.

What happened between you two?

Everything seemed so hunky dory.

When Basie and I parted ways,
we got the land and this house.

Yes, complete with
demonic curse.

And Basie got his privacy.
I got to keep my word.

With the nebuchadnezzar?
This is family, son.

And what went down
between Basie and I

had nothing to do
with pop or Calvary.

First John, 2 and 5,
"whoever keeps his word,

in him truly the love
of God is protected."

Well, you can't argue with that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You ready?

Yeah.

What? What's that face about?

I was going to call you, but you
were already on your way here.

All right. Well, talk to me.
What's the deal?

Got a later table?

Tell me we did.

No. My sister needs a sitter.

Charity and the baby?

Yeah.

He'll be down by 7:00.

We can pick up some food
on the way, maybe cook?

I am so sorry, but
she never asks,

and I'm trying to
prove that I care.

That didn't sound right,
but you know what I mean.

I think I know what you mean.

Is it okay?

Of course.

I knew you wouldn't mind.

I knew it because
you're the best.

So this dinner, is it
like a dinner or a class?

I don't get it.

Yeah.

Yeah, which part?

It's all that, both.

Dinner with the girls, get
served with a five-course meal,

they tell you which fork to use,

and how to conduct yourself
like a good Christian lady.

- Mm. Mm-hmm.
- Gotcha.

They're probably
going to make you

turn your phone off, huh?

You know, 'cause of,
like, manners and stuff.

If I didn't have manners,
I wouldn't be texting.

My dad was so harsh
to him earlier.

This right here is
damage control.

go ahead. Answer it.

- But that's it.
- Thank you.

- Should I pull up here?
- No, then they'll try

to park your car. You
don't want to do that.

- It's no trouble.
- No, just pull over

right here instead.

Okay. Great.

Um, I had a really
nice time tonight.

Yeah, me too.

You were really
nice to that guy.

Not at all.

There was a time when I
was that kid, right?

Always had a demo in my
pocket ready to hand out.

I don't know. Maybe it's good.

Wait, so you'll
actually listen to it?

Yeah, sure.

You have to. It's only right.

Right.

Um, okay, then.

See you in Nashville?

Yeah.

Mm.

Wow.

Is he down?

Yeah. He just needed
a new diaper.

He barely even moved
when I changed him.

So you remember how to
do all of that, huh?

Like riding a bike. Come on.

Oh.

This is very cute.

- Oh, geez.
- Yeah.

Gosh, thank you for rolling
with the punches on this.

- I owe you one.
- Oh, not at all.

It's kind of nice to see
how the other half lives.

I think I'm the other
half of the other half.

Yeah, this is it.

You ever invite guys over?

I just mean, it must be strange.

I don't know. Is it?

I just mean when

your parents are here all night.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

Did you interview Carlton

for that piece you had
in the paper today?

Yeah.

And you didn't tell me?

I thought we had that agreement,

not to mix this and the other?

- Was that wrong?
- No. No.

It's just, uh, I'm
trying to figure out

why you didn't ask my dad
for a comment on the story.

Yeah, I thought, "don't."

Got it. Got it.

You know, the whole Chinese
wall thing was your idea.

If you want to
reevaluate it, we can.

No. Look, no. I just...

You know, maybe we
shouldn't do this.

Do what?

This. Us.

Why would you say that?

Because it's, like, look at us.

I know there's been
extenuating circumstances,

but every time we
get close to being

more than study partners, you
find a reason to pull away.

- I'm not pulling away.
- No?

I mean, you traded a romantic
dinner for two for babysitting.

And then you picked
a fight with me.

I didn't realize
we were fighting.

You're right.

We're not.

You know, you pull back too, d.

You do. You have your ways.

- When have I pulled back?
- Oh, let me see.

Oh,

I, um... I had this job...

- Mm-hmm.
- This woman in New York

who really wants me to come.
I didn't need to know that.

Okay. I told you
that to include you.

And then there's this
whole mysterious reason

why you don't go to church,

that you still haven't
told me about that,

and I'm a pastor.

I think I'm gonna go.

- Come on.
- Yeah, no. I am.

I'm gonna go.

I don't know what
it is about you.

I've never gotten so little
from someone and stuck around.

And you don't even seem to know
you do it, so it's my fault.

Hey.

- Hey.
- How's my baby?

Out like a light.

- Ooh.
- Mm-hmm.

Where's Darius?

Mnh-mnh.

Oh.

My night wasn't so hot either.

What happened?

He pecked me on the cheek.

Don't laugh.

You here, too.

Like, I don't know
what's wrong with me.

Is there something
wrong with me?

Or do I just attract
a certain type?

I don't think he's gay.

I don't know what he is.

Is that yours?

- Yes.
- Mm.

- Get you some.
- Ooh.

Because, let me
tell you something,

I played it too cool at dinner.

I'm starving.

And you still didn't get any.

You know what, you ain't either,

so what are you talking about?

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Hey, sorry we can't, you know,

give you a better explanation.

Oh, no. We understand
discretion.

And backed up by scripture.

You know, that guy
was probably just

a member of the church
asking for rent money.

There's no shortage
of that over there.

I tell you what.

I retract the request, and it
was good to see both of you.

Yes. And thank you
so much for dinner.

- Oh, Bishop, before you go.
- Yes, dear?

Oh, listen, do you
have the car key?

- Um...
- We still having trouble

with that breaker box...

Whoa! No.

Let her finish her sentence.

No!

Sorry, mama, but we
discussed this earlier.

Kerissa, don't do that.

That's, um, my cue.

- Good night.
- Good night, darling.

And, son, just mm-hmm?

- Son, take it easy.
- All right. Speak soon.

- Good night.
- All right. Be careful.

- Let us know when you're home.
- Mm-hmm.

What was that?

A woman's attempt to
care for the home

she raises her children in.

- I asked you not to do that.
- Oh.

I don't care about
your pride, Jacob.

- It's not pride.
- Then what is it?

I told you to look for a job.

Did you look for one today? Did
you even go online and look?

No.

How you know what I did?

Am I wrong?

I have a job.

You have a hobby.

You heard Bishop.

When you work to pay the bills,
it keeps the preaching pure,

which is what you say
you want anyway.

It is what I want.

Then get a job.

Or go down to the
river and dredge up

some civil war pirate ship

like I heard about on the radio.

Something! Anything!

But to have your
kids and your wife

stumbling around in
the dark at night

because the lights don't work?

Kerissa.

I don't want to hear
it anymore, Jacob.

Okay. But you're going to.

For all the years
I was creeping,

you treated me this way.

And I just continued to take
it because I was out of line.

But things are different now.

And you cannot
continue to do that.

I'm not going to stand for it.

I have the moral authority
that you wanted me to have,

that you prayed for me to have.

So respect it.

The Lord will provide
in his own time.

So just wait. Just trust.

Trust me, trust him, and wait.

And maybe try paying some of
this attention to your daughter.

She needs it.

I'm getting ready for bed.

- What?
- Hey, um...

I've been calling you.

Yeah, now.

I text you a bunch earlier,
and you didn't answer.

I couldn't. They
took our phones.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I miss you.

How was rehearsal?

It's whatever. You
had to be there.

Oh.

Hey, you.

Darius: You still up?

Yeah.

Got a minute?

Yeah.

I'm out front.

Hey.

Hey.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

So, uh, here's the story.

What story?

Why I don't go to
church anymore.

You wanted to know.
I'll tell you.

You don't have to
tell me anything.

I used to be married.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because she's dead.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, we were on our
way to a matinée

one Sunday afternoon, and

we got t-boned in
an intersection.

I am so sorry.

I asked the Pastor
after the funeral

if he could help me understand.

He said, "it's best we
don't question God."

So I haven't been
back to church since.

Other than as a reporter.

Thank you for telling me that.

You were right. I was holding
back, and that was why.

Am I gonna see you again?

You tell me.

God, I hope so.

Then yeah.

So Basie lost the church's
money, not his own.

- That's right.
- And you two paid it back?

Yes, with our savings.

We got the land and the house,
but we should've gotten Triumph.

Well, that certainly would beat
that two-acre soup kitchen

- you've got now.
- Amen.

And Basie still
owes these people

over a quarter of a
million dollars,

even after all we did.

Can you prove it?

I know someone who can.

Of course, you can never
tell Jacob I told you.

Understood.

He'd never forgive me.

Don't you worry, dear.
