Albert Einstein once said we can't solve our

problems with the same thinking that created them.

We have to expand our world to learn new things.

I'm not where I am because I'm a product of my environment,

because my environment didn't make me.

My choices did.

And I take responsibility for every single one of them,

because our pasts shouldn't determine our futures, right?

Baby?

Hello.

They're about to take Kevin in to surgery.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

They're taking him into surgery right now?

Yeah, but.

I don't want you to come by yet.

What, what are they saying?

They're saying one of the bullets

is still lodged in him.

Oh.

He has, he has a bullet lodged in him.

Yeah, they're saying two guys drove up

next to him at a light and started shooting.

Babe, can you call me back

as soon as he gets out of surgery?

Okay. He may be.

Okay. All right, I love you.

I love you too.

What's going on?

She said two people

pulled up next to him at a light and started shooting.

Said he tried to get over into the passenger's side,

and got shot twice.

So what you gonna do?

What you mean, what am I gonna do-

What you gonna do, man, what you mean what I mean?

They done shot your homeboy.

I think we just need to let God deal with this, man-

Let God deal with it?

I'm tired of you and this praying.

You pray, pray, pray, and you broke.

So what you wanna do, you wanna just go roll up on 'em?

You praying, and your homeboy in critical condition,

right now.

Have you forgot where we from?

Huh?

We don't pray.

We send him to God and let him deal with it.

So what you gonna do?

Nah.

What happened?

Well, you know Jonah Smith?

Yeah, from church.

Yeah, he came into the ER

last Tuesday with cardiac arrest.

You're kidding.

Who is Jonah Smith?

Yes, you do know him.

He sits in the second row right behind where you guys-

His kids are in Sabrina's class.

Oh my gosh, yes.

Yeah, I had to call her. I had to call his wife.

He didn't make it.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

That conversation, not one of my better moments.

I'm sure.

Such a preventable disease.

Nice sneakers, Marquise.

Thanks, I got 'em for my birthday.

Hmm, are they water resistant?

Hey.

So, can I play?

I don't know if I should,

you was about to pour water on my new sneakers.

I was just joking.

Please.

Here.

You have to show me how to play.

So therefore take up the whole armor of God

And you will be able to withstand the evil today,

and having done, all to stand firm.

That's straight from the Bible guys, Ephesians 6:13.

We have a real battle going on in our everyday life.

Hey. You just got me killed.

You don't need these things anyway,

they taint the mind and strain us from our righteous path.

Would you do us the honor of blessing the food?

I'd love to.

All right.

Everyone bow your heads.

Dear Lord, thank you for this meal

that we are about to receive.

I ask that you watch over our children,

and protect them as they go out into the world,

at school, or otherwise.

In your name I pray, amen.

Amen, amen.

Can somebody please pass me that bread on down here?

I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, come on.

Patience is a virtue Pastor

It's coming, it's coming.

There we go.

Would you like some, sister?

That's okay, I'm good.

Okay, yes love, thank you very much.

That's what I want right there.

Thank you, yes.

It's time to get to work.

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just feeling a little lightheaded.

Baby, can you get me some water please?

Are you good?

I just need some water.

Easy, easy.

Better?

I'm fine, I just think I need to go to the restroom,

if you'll excuse me.

No, I'm good.

I'll, I'll be right back.

Okay.

Oh, Sabrina!

Call 911!

Sister Williams, are you okay, Sister Williams?

Oh my god.

Alright, you're good, you're fine.

Sabrina, Sabrina?

Where's the ambulance?

Oh my goodness.

This girl gonna kill me.

Okay.

Ah.

So, being that you wanted to talk, I actually had something

that I wanted to tell you too, something that was on

my mind.

This should be interesting.

Well, we haven't talked about this in a while, but.

What's all that?

I already know what this is about.

Okay, so tell me what it's about then, since you know.

You don't know how much longer you can go without me

giving myself to you.

You're funny.

I know you like a book.

No, but seriously, I want you to think about this

from my perspective though, alright.

For real, for real, we've known each other forever.

We've been together for like over two years, and nothing.

Babe, I want to experience us taking our relationship

to a new level.

You know what I mean?

But physically.

Just forget I even brought it for now though.

Maybe we can talk about it another time. It's whatever.

Okay.

Okay what?

I'll think about it.

Like for real.

Yeah.

No, like for real, for real.

Yes, I will think about it.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about babe.

Don't get so excited please.

What do you mean don't get excited?

I didn't say yes, so.

Okay, but it's a step.

You know what I mean, it's a process.

I guess.

It's not like I'm trying to rush you into this.

Really.

I'm not.

Like I said, we've been together for over two years.

Okay, so why aren't we getting married?

Pablo, Pablo.

Bruh, ya'll missing them stains bruh.

Sup?

Excuse you, what are you doing?

You ain't got no business talking to my lady.

Oh yeah.

It's not even worth it okay, just go.

Hey, you better listen to your little lady.

My little lady just saved you brother.

Let me stop you right there. Started off at nine.

Nine?

Shh, nine?

Yes, nine.

Bird, grab that bag. Grab the little bag.

Here you go.

Nine of these an hour.

See, you don't listen, playboy.

See, you'd rather put in work for everybody else

to help them build their business, when you can be right

here with us getting this bread, building our business.

What you have to do to get that though?

No risk, no reward.

Alright, now look.

Let me just get going, 'cause I'm about to be late.

It look good though, I ain't gonna lie to you.

I would like to see that in my hand.

We gonna talk, alright.

Hey, boss, I'm sorry I was late, my car was giving-

I don't want to hear it.

Just get to work and see me when your shift ends.

Seriously.

I said I don't want to hear it.

Now, everyone back to work, this ain't a show.

Watch it boss, watch your step,

boss, blood pressure gonna go up, boss.

Take it easy.

That wasn't even necessary.

Al, what the heck you looking at man?

Dead man walking.

Dead man walking.

Dead man walking.

Need to come to work on time, bud.

So how much you made so far?

How much you think we made?

I don't know, man.

$125.

You know what's up, I know what's up.

D-Rock is making all the money.

There ain't nothing we can do about it.

Unless you want to bump heads with him, you feel me.

There's always something we can do about it.

Mastermind, I'm a cook a plan.

So let's get to work.

Where are you going?

I've got things I've got to do, okay.

Are you gonna give me money for the furniture?

You gonna make some money for the furniture?

Furniture right there, sit down.

Happy birthday.

Did we raise farm animals?

Tiffany!

Be nice. At least she's doing her homework.

I'm gonna be nice alright.

Tiffany!

Im a get Dinner started.

I know you didn't leave this mess in here.

Tiffany, don't make me come in there.

What?

What do you mean what?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Why is my living room so messy?

Did you leave this mess in here?

Really?

I don't know dad, maybe somebody broke in, had a snack,

and decided to do my homework for me.

Maybe Goldilocks is a college student and thought my

studies would be just right.

Don't you sass me young lady.

You know, I asked your brother to stop by the store

and pick up a few things after Bible study.

Did he stop in yet?

Do you know who else needs to attend Bible study

so that they can review the commandment on how to

honor their mother and father, so that their days

may be long on the earth?

That commandment is definitely for parents

who actually deserve it.

Tiffany.

Excuse me?

That's enough. Apologize to your father.

No, Mom. I'm so sick of his self-righteous bull.

You better get your child.

Who is it?

It's Marquise.

Hello, Mrs. Evans.

Hey, Marquise.

Pastor Evans.

Marquise.

I thought I would stop by

and say hi to Tiffany.

I didn't come by at a bad time did I?

No, not at all. Come on in.

So, how you doing son?

I'm fine sir.

How's Deborah doing?

She's good.

She's been working a lot of overtime though lately,

so I haven't even really seen much of her as of late,

but I'm always thankful for when I do get to see her

of course.

Amen to that.

You know, next time you see her, tell her that I said I hope

to see her in church this Sunday.

Okay.

Both of us.

You should come to.

I'll consider it.

Come on, let's let them have their privacy.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Marquise.

What's wrong?

What?

Look at Marquise' car.

Boy, that boy no good.

What, he ain't got no rims?

Oh, see that's why he need to come to the church and pray.

God don't want him riding around with no rims like that.

And his tires, oh they're dusty.

Oh he need some help.

Help is on the way, what?

He just came in and just found that mess there.

You don't think he's gonna be mad about that though?

But he don't have to come in here yelling like he crazy.

It's his house.

It doesn't matter, I don't care.

Kev, what's up bro?

What's up man?

How you been?

I've been good.

Me and my daddy been working down at the church a lot.

For the Lord.

I feel you.

How you been?

Ah man, same old, same old.

I was over here just listening to Tiff

tell me about the drama going on between her and your dad.

You know, Tiff is a little throwed off up there.

Shut up, Kevin.

Yo, you wouldn't believe the craziness that happened

to me today.

I was just about to tell her, right before you came in.

Craziness huh.

Yeah.

You wouldn't happen to be talking about you getting fired

now would you?

Jasmine.

Of course she did.

I remember when you got us fired from that

clothing store back in the day.

And I was making hundreds of dollars.

And then you got us fired from the community service job

and that was free.

Something wrong with you man.

I'm a pray for you.

I think you should really look at this as an opportunity

to finish writing your book.

I think you need to take Tiffany's advice.

It's not often that a brain like Tiffany come up

with a good idea.

Don't you have somewhere to be, Kevin?

Like where?

Somewhere, anywhere but here.

Get get gone.

I gotta get going myself, man, I gotta break the bad news

to my god mom.

Hope she don't kick you out.

You ain't got no money either.

Well, I can't holler at you about no money.

Oh, your birthday, next month right?

Yeah.

Alright.

Why you asking?

I just want know, birthday.

Alright, Kev.

Why are you so weird?

I'm getting the man some rims for that little ragged

piece of car he got for his birthday.

But you could have just told him that.

That's not how I roll.

We're not in high school anymore, Kevin, grow up.

Go to bed.

Whatever.

Hmm.

G'ma.

Hello?

I'm not working nine to five.

This is the book, this is what's suppose to get me.

Upon seeing the clear.

Stupid.

Might as well.

Doing.

Yo, make a decision, man.

Cuzzo, where you at?

Quise

Oh my gosh, David, when did you get out?

Hey, auntie.

You're looking good.

Life treating you well, you're adjusting okay?

I can't complain.

Yeah, staying out of trouble?

Trying.

Uh hmm.

Is that a yes or a no?

That's a yes.

Uh huh, come sit down.

Yeah, I've been staying out of trouble, but you know

like I know, life could throw you some curve balls.

So the key would be to condition yourself to react

differently whenever life throws these curve balls huh.

Yeah, that's easier said than done.

Especially when you been taught out here to survive.

You've got to react a certain type of way.

It is what it is.

You know, I pray for you all the time.

And I've never lost faith in you.

I appreciate it.

Where's the time gone?

I wish I could tell you.

Oh, I need to get ready for work.

Good seeing you, David.

Nice talking to you.

Hey, make sure nothing happens to him.

I got you.

I'll hold you to it.

Hold me.

Sup?

What was all that about?

Ain't nothing.

You ready to go get this bread?

I wanted to talk to you first.

Here we go.

Just listen, alright.

I've been thinking.

Let's just say God is real.

Hypothetically speaking, right.

Do you ever get the feeling that he only looks out

for certain people?

And?

For instance, both you and I lost our parents

at a very young age, the both of us, right.

We went in separate paths, but look at us now.

We on the same path.

You remember that scripture your mom use to always say?

Which one, man?

She had a lot.

I think it was something like, there's a time to live,

a time to die.

Oh yeah, a time to laugh and a time to cry.

Yeah.

Well, my understanding on that is,

the only thing guaranteed is death.

Yeah.

Yeah, so, when that time come, cuz, you better go out

with a bang.

I mean, I hear you.

But do you feel me?

I mean, yeah.

Hey man, puff your chest up.

Bro, let's slide and get this money.

Let me see your keys?

What you want my keys?

'Cause I said so.

You know we gotta switch it up, man.

Why you asking all these questions?

I think we was gonna take the caddy.

When you gonna let me drive the caddy?

When you get your paper up.

Alright.

See you change your mind.

Honestly, I feel like I did not have a choice.

You always got a choice.

You don't understand man.

I got so many bills just hanging over my head.

Man, you're preaching to the choir.

Check it out.

I don't know if you heard, but Bird got locked last night.

Locked?

Police got him on some bogus warrant.

He's gonna be down for a little minute.

You know me, I don't kick it with nobody like that, so.

You know I trust you?

I got you.

I need you, you know, kind of thing, hold it down with me.

That's why I'm here.

Cuz.

Check this out though, if you get locked, no snitching.

Come on man, we family.

That's all I need to hear.

Yeah, come on man. Let's get this money, man.

I see you got a nice little smile there.

Yeah man, so what's up.

Well, I'm glad you stopped by because what you've been

You know what that means?

It means no good.

I need the stuff you were giving me before you went

You know, I trust you.

I'm giving you the stuff that you want, but I need

what I want.

I got you. We gonna work on that.

Demitri, do me a favor.

No problem.

Yeah.

Well, how much of that thing you want?

Yeah, I'm in for the night, but I can get that to you

first thing in the morning.

Wow.

Hey babe.

Is your money right tho?

Yeah, because I can't afford to take any shorts.

I was gonna say that I brought home some food,

but I guess you're not hungry.

Stop playing, of course I'm hungry man.

No, no.

Come here, man.

You really hungry?

Yes, yes.

Nope, no dinner for you tonight.

Wait, where you going?

No dinner for you.

Now I gotta go hungry. Stop playing.

Uh hmm.

Yeah.

Huh?

What do you mean?

'Cause money ain't coming in like it use to.

Yeah, old boy getting all the paper.

It's all good though.

Me and my partner about to line him and Marquise up.

Yeah, we got a youngin' just itching to put the

wet work in.

That's my word man, and then, we'll be back to business

as usual.

Little did we know, Mitch and Tommy

were scheming to get rid of us.

Lookie what the cat dragged in.

G'ma, what you doing here at this time?

Ah, I wasn't feeling very well, so I came home. Early.

Oh no.

Could I get you anything?

No, that's okay sweetie, I had a cup of tea earlier.

I'm gonna go ahead and call it a night.

Everything alright?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah.

Nothing you want to tell me?

Nothing I can think of.

How about the fact that you were fired?

Because I thought that we had the type of relationship

that was strong enough that you would have thought to

let me know about such a thing.

Ah, maybe I was wrong.

You're not wrong.

We do have that kind of relationship.

And I did try and tell you afterwords.

I came here expecting to tell you, but you weren't here

so I just.

Hey, don't stress it. I understand.

You know, but I want you to know I'm here for you

no matter what.

And I hope you know that you can come to me

and talk about anything.

William, come to bed honey, you need to get some rest.

Yes, I know love.

I've just got too much on my mind to sleep.

Well, did you finish your sermon?

I sure did.

Would you believe I've had this sermon on my mind

for a few months now?

I've been working on it for a couple of weeks.

It is titled The Consequences of Our Actions.

Hmm.

Can I hear what you're gonna say?

You sure can.

Hold on, let me get my glasses on.

Get ready.

Making word, and now let me get comfy.

Let me start by asking y'all a question.

Have you ever done something?

Let me start by asking y'all a question.

Have you ever done something that you knew was wrong,

but because no one else knew about it, you thought

you got away with it?

Isn't it funny how we think that God can't see what we do

in the dark?

We try to rationalize our non-Christ-like behavior.

But just because God will forgive us, and Jesus died

for that very same reason, doesn't mean that we are

exempt for the consequences of our actions.

Can I get an amen?

Amen.

Turn with me in your Bibles to the book of the prophet

Isaiah chapter one.

We're going to be reading verses 19 and 20.

When you have it say it, say amen.

If you need a minute, say I need a minute pastor.

Need a minute.

Is everybody there?

Amen.

Let's all read it together.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the

good of the lamb.

But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by

the sword, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Now, what this passage of scripture is saying to me,

that for every action, there will either be a

positive consequence or a negative consequence.

Either we are going to eat the good of the land,

or we are going to be devoured by the sword.

So ultimately it's up to us what we reap, because we're

the ones doing the sowing.

Didn't God say in Deuteronomy 30 and 19 to choose life?

Yes.

Weren't we told in Joshua 24 and 15 to choose ye

this day whom you will serve?

- Yeah. - Amen.

Church, God has given us free will.

So it's up to us to make a conscious effort to make

the right choices.

Can I get an amen?

Amen.

Can God get an amen?

Amen.

Amen, hallelujah.

Praise God, hallelujah.

Thank you, amen. Hallelujah.

Now, I want you to help me welcome a very special guest.

Our own Pastor Hutchens.

Thank you, pastor.

Since you mentioned consequences, let's stay right there.

Do y'all know how many times in the Bible God says he

will visit the sins of a father upon his children

to the third and fourth generation?

So, how did you enjoy the sermon?

It was food for the spirit.

Thank you. I really needed to hear that.

Uh huh.

Hey, listen man, I need some advice from you.

Okay.

Lately, my relationship with Tiffany has become

very strained and I just don't know what to do anymore.

Hmm.

What we wouldn't give to be young again, huh.

You know what?

You have a very unique way of saying a whole lot

without saying much at all, man.

It was so good to see you today.

Oh my gosh, it's so good

to come back. I know, I'm so happy

you could make it.

What a great message for me to come back to.

Oh good.

I'll see you ladies later.

- Oh okay, bye. - See ya.

Mom, can I talk to you for a second?

Oh.

I'll catch up with you later.

Bye sweetie.

Um, Marquise is gonna give me a ride home today.

Okay, baby.

I'll be here helping your father with afternoon services,

but we'll be heading straight home after it concludes.

Hey love.

How you doing, Tiffany?

Hi Mr. and Mrs. Norton, how are you doing?

Doing great, thank you.

Did you enjoy the service?

Enjoyed it very much.

Great, I'm glad you did.

You're getting so big, you look so pretty.

Thank you.

Have a great day.

You too.

♪ Like a bird in the sky I'll fly

I am so sorry I haven't been able to come by lately.

It's just, work has been so crazy.

It's okay, we understand.

It just seems that the most we can hope for these days

is to break even.

I've got 20 hours worth of overtime in this week,

and I still very rarely have any disposable income.

Trust me, we know exactly what you're going through.

Sweetie, why don't you lead us into prayer?

Yes, of course.

You know, why don't we pray for God's favor

over our families and our finances?

Dear God, give us the strength to overcome these

financial headwinds and continue to look over our family

and our friends.

And Lord, give us the strength to overcome all adversities,

whether it be spiritual, mental, physical, or financial.

We thank you.

We thank you for all that you have done for us

and all that you will continue to do for us.

You are the truth and the light.

And even in our darkest hours, we're able to see,

because of the light that resides within us.

In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Amen.

Amen.

How is Marquise doing, Debra?

Funny you should ask.

Because I have been praying over him a lot lately.

And I don't even know why.

You know, he would be such a powerful advocate

for the kingdom if he decided to give himself to God.

I know, I know, but unfortunately, that is still

a very sore subject with him.

Why is that?

Well, you remember his father was killed when he

was a small boy.

And a few years later, when Sabrina died,

it just devastated him.

Hmm.

And he refused to believe that they were really gone

and he thought they were just gonna come back

and when that didn't happen, he just blamed God.

I thought that when he would grow up, he would

think differently.

And unfortunately, that hasn't happened, at least not yet.

In fact, it's gotten worse.

But having said that, I still maintain that once

he gets married and has a family of his own to raise,

that he'll see the light.

♪ Tell me who could have imagine it

♪ I lost my focus I'll admit

♪ I'm deep in, I'm deep in

♪ Take a step into the danger zone

I see y'all hard headed.

I got something for you.

We have to speed things up man,

and make our moves before he makes his.

Hey, little homie.

What's good?

That dude that's in there.

Word.

He's food.

You know what we do to fool?

Say no more. Let me handle it.

Handled. That simple.

Hey, come on!

Hurry up, man!

You're smiling man, ain't nothing to smile about.

Come on.

Hey man.

Come on man.

Check it out.

Mitch, all them little G's he run with,

hey I'm fin to give him a hundred rounds.

But what I need you to do, I need you to go

pick up all the bread.

Anybody that owe me, pick it up.

Can you handle that?

Slow down.

Man ain't no slow down.

Man, you need to speed up.

Can you handle that?

Wait.

Hey man, is you gonna roll or not?

Oh.

Man, I can't believe this man.

They only respond to you.

Forget it, bro. Let's go pick up the bread.

They said the food will be ready in 20 minutes.

20 minutes, are you serious?

Don't be getting loud with me.

I'm not the one cooking it.

I mean, why don't you go in there and get you a

hot sausage, or pig feet or something.

Boy, you know I don't eat that mess no more.

Baby, I am so glad we don't fight like that.

Yeah, baby.

Real gangsters don't argue with their girlfriends like that.

That's right. My baby is a gangster and a gentleman.

That's right.

That's what I'm talking about.

You can't even admit when you wrong.

Oh look who's talking mister I can't get my clients

to meet me at a time they say they was gonna meet me at.

You know what, get over here. Let me talk to you.

Don't be pulling on me like that.

Listen.

Hey man, don't be fronting me in front of my people

like that.

You know I'm a G in these streets

Bro, you know you ain't no G.

Where you going?

Beezo, don't do that homie.

Hey, D-Rock, I didn't even know that was you, man.

Where my money at, man?

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

Where my money?

I ain't got it, D.

Come on, let them take care of it.

I tried to call you yesterday to see if I could pay you

tomorrow but you never answer the phone man.

But I gave you til 12 o'clock. It's 12:15.

Listen, wait, wait, wait.

Look, my girl went out swiping.

Man, I ain't trying to here all that.

Go in his pockets, cuz.

I got your money man.

Go in his pocket.

Somebody playing with you, man.

I don't know where that come from, D.

Playboy, I don't play about my money.

And you still owe me.

Come on, let's slide.

You talking about you a younger version of Suge Knight.

You're more like a dumb version of Sugar Bear.

What you want me to do?

Get myself hurt messing

with that man?

So your girlfriend went out swiping yesterday.

Which one was it, 'cause it sure enough wasn't me.

Man, whatever yo.

Ain't no whatever.

Who are you?

You know what?

I'll tell you who he is.

Man, you just big for nothing.

Let me ask you something.

Have you been smacked by crisp hundred dollar bills, huh?

Thought not. Man, get out of my face, man.

Move.

Forget y'all man.

Thought you guys left.

That'll be $58.75.

Thank you.

He'll take care of that.

Come on girl, let's go.

Hey, wait wait, where y'all going?

As far away from you as possible.

Look, I ain't go no money to pay for this food.

You'll figure it out like you always do...gangsta

That'll be $58.75.

Didn't you just see me saying I ain't got no money?

Well, someone's gotta pay for it.

Look, I don't know what to tell you.

Hi, may I help you?

My name is Tiffany Evans, I'm here for an appointment.

Okay.

Here's my ID.

I actually got a call earlier today, saying that

Dr. Singler wanted to see me as soon as possible,

so I'm here.

Are you a patient of his or is this your first time here?

Are you serious?

Did I say something wrong?

I mean, why would the office be calling me in

unless I was already a patient?

My bad.

I'm new and I'm just trying to figure things out.

It can be overwhelming.

So sign in right here, have a seat, and Dr. Singler

should be with you shortly.

Jaz.

Tiff?

Hey girl, what's up?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here, what are you doing here?

We haven't spoke in a while.

Uh hmm.

Tiff?

Okay, let's just say you'll be helping me

plan my baby shower.

You're baby shower?

Yeah.

What?

Congratulations.

Yeah, yeah.

Hmm, well no wonder I haven't heard from you

since I told you Marquise got fired.

Girl, speaking of.

Uh hmm.

Okay, so listen.

I kind of blew your cover a little bit.

Of course you did.

Listen, I accidentally slipped up and told him

that I knew he got fired before he could even tell me.

And the first thing he did was blame you.

He said "I know Jasmine told you, 'cause she got

"a big mouth."

You're my girl and he knows it, so whatever.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

And honestly, if it wasn't for you, I don't know

what I would know.

Marquise doesn't tell me anything.

Well, speaking of Marquise, come here.

Ugh, what is it now?

I hear he's been hustling with his cousin D-Rock lately.

Drugs?

Tiff, come on.

No way.

Yes, I'm telling you.

And I'm hearing that some other competition

has it out for them, so tell him to be careful.

Look, I'm only telling you this because you're my girl

and you got a nice little situation now.

Okay, Ms. Ortiz, I'll see you again in 30 days.

Okay, Dr. Singler.

And please, make sure to take your medicine as prescribed.

Do not skip a dosage.

I won't. I learned my lesson the hard way.

Okay, now, you take care.

You too.

See you in a few months for my colonoscopy Dr. Singler.

Girl.

Ms. Evans.

Okay, but listen, I gotta go, but can you wait?

I really want to finish this conversation.

No, I gotta be somewhere in like 15 minutes.

You always have somewhere to go.

I just came back to get my phone.

Okay, well call me later, I need to see this doctor,

but we need to have this conversation.

I have a lot of questions for you.

I got you.

Okay.

But don't forget to tell Marquise what I said.

Girl, I'm gonna tell him something alright.

That's right.

Well, the reason we requested for you to come in

is because your blood test shows that your RH factor

is negative.

In all likelihood, your baby's RH positive,

unless the baby's father is RH negative as well.

Umm, can we simplify this a little bit.

What does that mean?

Basically, being that you're RH negative,

if your baby is RH positive, your blood could mix

when you give birth, which would be a problem.

What do I need to do next?

Can we have the baby's father take a blood test

to determine if he's RH negative?

If he is then the baby will be, and the problem solved.

If he's not, then I'll prescribe you some medication

to prevent any problems in the event that your blood

and the baby's blood were to mix as you give birth.

Me and the father aren't really on speaking terms

right now.

Is there any other options for me?

Then you may have to get what's called an

amniocentesis or AM Test done.

This will allow us to see if the baby's RH negative as well.

The test is relatively safe with very small chance

of complications, and it allows to screen the baby

for genetic disorders as well.

You said a small chance of complications?

Yes, but it's nothing to really worry about.

Okay.

Hey baby.

Baby, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Well, do you want to go get something to eat?

Just take me home, Marquise.

Now, you know I'm not leaving until you tell me

what's wrong, 'cause clearly something's bothering you.

I heard you've been doing business with your cousin.

Is that why you've been having so much money lately?

Who told you that?

Does it matter?

Look, I've been trying to stack some money up,

to build towards having this family that we both want.

Okay, so yes, I have been putting in some work with D-Rock.

I don't care about the money, Marquise.

Well, you need to.

You don't remember me telling you.

I'm a man.

As a man, I have to be a provider.

I've seen this story before, so I already know

how it ends.

With you either going to jail or worse, dead.

It's not gonna happen.

Listen, Marquise, I'm not even gonna go back and forth

with you, okay, but you have a decision to make.

It's either me or those streets.

But you can't have both.

Are you being serious right now?

I'm serious.

Look babe, just relax, chill alright.

I'll tell D-Rock I'm out.

Okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Fine, your makeup about to run.

You gonna have your dad mad at me.

♪ Get ready

Who's calling me man?

Hello?

Pastor Evans?

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I gotta just stop by the house first.

Okay.

♪ Get ready, change is gonna come

♪ He's calling his children to carry

♪ He's calling

How you doing young man?

I'm doing well.

You mind if we walk?

Yeah.

So tell me man, how's life treating you?

Couple of rough patches.

Just lost my job the other day.

So gotta kind of work on that a little bit.

Anything else you want to talk about?

Did you watch the game last night?

You know I watched that game.

Let's go inside and talk about it.

Make sure you close that door behind you.

Okay, alright.

Thank you.

Go ahead man, go on and grab you a seat.

Pull up a chair.

Make yourself comfortable.

So, from what I understand, you've been given a unique gift

to be able to write some amazing stories.

Is that correct?

I'm an average writer man, at best.

Come on son, don't be modest now.

You're gonna make it big one day using that gift

that God has given you.

And when you, Marquise, you're gonna have a huge platform.

Do you understand what that will allow you to do

for the kingdom?

Hmm?

I believe that you been anointed to be able to reach those

that society has deemed unreachable.

Those who have been born under the same circumstances

as you.

But first you gotta get right with God so you can be able

to be that beacon of light to those still living

in darkness.

I don't know about that, pastor.

I have enough of my own problems to worry about as it is.

Well, most times in life, we look for the answers

to our problems outward, when the answers reside

within us, and those answers come from God.

Now, he doesn't always give you what you want,

but he always gives you what you need.

Why don't you stop by tomorrow and give me a hand

around here.

All I'm asking for is about six hours out of your day.

How much did you make at your last job?

I don't want to tell you.

Come on, man, try me.

$9 an hour.

That's alright.

I'll tell you what, I'll pay you $10 an hour.

If you like the arrangement, you can continue on.

If you don't like the arrangement, you're not obligated

to continue.

That should provide you with some financial help.

So you can be able to focus on those God-given

writing abilities.

You gonna pay me weekly or bi-weekly?

Man, I will pay you weekly, bi-weekly,

whatever you want.

I ain't gonna hold your money now, that's not in the word.

You gonna take tithes out of my check?

I aint' gonna be taking no tithes, but we will receive

your offering.

Alright, alright, you have a deal.

Deal.

Before you go though, there's something I'd like

to talk to you about.

Okay.

How are things coming along between you and Tiffany?

Things have been really well.

Okay, okay, just asking.

She doesn't talk to me much lately.

I'm sorry to hear that sir.

Son, it's not your fault.

Don't worry, you're gonna have kids of your own one day.

You know, I'm looking forward to it.

But not before you get married, right.

I mean, I don't necessarily know what to say to that.

You do know premarital sex goes against everything

we believe in.

Well, alrighty in.

Tomorrow at noon.

Yeah, ah, yes sir.

Sounds good.

Thank you though for the opportunity

and the conversation.

You're welcome.

After our conversation, Pastor Evans

was very suspicious of me and Tiffany's relationship.

Look, um, I don't know how to ask you this,

so I'm just gonna cut to the chase.

Have you had relations with Marquise?

Yeah.

And I'm pregnant with his baby right now.

Let's just get this over with.

Go ahead, tell me how disappointed you are.

And how I'm still in college

with my entire life ahead of me.

And what's even worse, I'm not even married.

God forbid an out of wedlock pregnancy because what a

scandal that would be when your precious church finds out.

And I can hear them gossiping already.

Did you hear about the pastor's daughter?

How dare you.

So, now it's my fault that you're pregnant.

If you would have just-

If I had been what, Tiffany, huh?

When are you gonna grow up and learn to take responsibility

for your own actions young lady?

Instead of going through life with this woe is me mentality.

You probably care more about what the congregation

is gonna think than you do about me.

What they think and how they feel has always mattered

more to you.

I've heard enough alright.

Now I will always be there for you, but I refuse to be

your punching bag.

You let me know when you're ready

to have a real conversation.

Hey, my brother.

What's up, Deak.

What are you doing on this beautiful Saturday?

Man, listen, mind if I sit down?

Yeah, have a seat. Have a seat

Is everything alright Bill?

Hey, Pastor.

Hey Evelyn.

How are you?

I'm doing good, how are you?

I'm doing good.

Can I get you guys something to drink,

water or coffee maybe?

No, I'm good, but I appreciate the offer though.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, I'll leave you boys alone.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Thank you.

Is everything alright?

You look a little flustered.

I don't know, man.

I've been fighting a spiritual battle lately.

And I'm afraid it feels like I'm losing.

But that's impossible.

And why is that?

Because you are a strong man of God.

And that battle that you speak of was won way before

it started.

And that's where my problem begins, man,

Deak, I'm starting to question my calling.

But why?

I think my pastoral duties are destroying my

relationship with my daughter, man.

Pardon my candor, but that's ridiculous.

I beg your pardon.

What you're saying is you believe your calling

is a mistake.

Maybe.

Romans 11:29 says for God's gifts and his call

are irrevocable.

And this is true, but no matter how hard I try,

I just can't get through to her, man.

You know what?

I didn't mean to trouble you.

It's no burden.

Listen, without a struggle, there could be no victory.

Without a test, there could be no testimony.

You are a mighty warrior for the kingdom.

Which is why I decided many moons ago to go stand with you

on that battlefield.

You cannot allow the enemy to gain a foothold

in your relationship with Tiffany.

'Cause sooner or later, you will lose her.

You know what you have to do right?

Yeah, I sure do.

Thank you my brother.

I really needed to hear that.

Of course man.

Thank you Deak.

Alright, I gotta go.

Alright.

Come here.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I love you so much, more than you'll ever know.

It's just that I got so caught up with trying to be

everything to everybody else, that I forgot to spend time

with you and your mother.

I'm here for you. I will always be here for you.

But baby girl, I need you to make better choices, okay.

Okay, daddy.

Alright.

You cannot continue to have relations

with Marquise unmarried.

There are consequences to that, baby girl.

Okay, dad.

Look at me, I want you to listen to me.

If you don't remember nothing else that I say to you,

I want you to always put God first, alright.

I want you to trust him, I want you to seek him.

And he'll never lead you astray.

Can you please do that for me?

Yes, daddy, I can.

Come here.

♪ There I was all alone

♪ A tattered soul, you made me whole

♪ And I want to thank you for your smile

♪ Do do do do

Hey baby.

Hey, babe.

Kev, what's up bro?

My brother in Lord.

Man, I was starting to think Bible study is canceled, man.

Canceled?

Yeah.

Oh no. I just had to swing by and pick her up.

'Cause when she told me she wanted to come to Bible study,

I was shocked.

I think you're rubbing off on her, my brother.

Hey well, God is good.

Oh, your birthday tomorrow.

Yes.

Got a surprise for you my man.

Kevin, what you got?

Oh, trust me, it's something you need.

I prayed about it and everything.

I got you man, you gonna be surprised.

And don't even ask, 'cause if I told you,

it wouldn't be a secret would it?

Let it marinate. Don't even say nothing.

Y'all be good.

Alright.

That's your brother, man.

Listen, I already told you one of us is adopted.

You gotta stop it, seriously.

Honestly, your brother is the coolest person I know.

I'm the coolest person you know.

Let's just get that straight.

I would say you're like second coolest. It's close.

You're crazy, you've lost it.

Listen, I'm just messing with you.

See, that's why I love you.

Umm, why is that?

Gosh. I love you because of your smile.

Uh hmm. It's amazing.

I love you because of your sense of humor.

Of course.

And your sarcasm.

Whatever.

Nah, seriously though, you got the whole enchilada babe.

Seriously.

Well, if you love me so much, can you promise

to never leave me?

Yes, I can promise to never leave you.

Awesome.

Can you promise the same thing?

Of course, I promise.

Okay.

Unless.

Unless what?

You tell me I'm the second coolest person you know again.

You got that straight?

There you go.

Hey.

Kevin.

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to scare you, Ms. Deborah.

It's okay.

You looking for your buddy?

Yeah, where the birthday boy at, where he at?

He's still sleeping.

I tried to wake him up to wish him a happy birthday.

Kid sleeps like a log.

You mind if I give it a shot?

Have at it. I'm late for work.

Alright, you be good now.

Goodbye.

Happy birthday.

What?

Wait a minute.

Hey, hey, hey.

Alright, have it your way then.

Happy birthday boy, happy birthday.

Thanks man.

Oh, I see you went and got taped up huh.

Oh, I gotta stay fresh for the Lord.

Yes, I do, God is good.

All the time.

All the time, God is good.

Those mine?

Yeah, man,

they was laying over here on the nightstand man.

Matter of fact, what is this?

Those are the notes.

Book I just started writing again.

You back write your book. God is good.

Look at you.

Wanted to change your life and you're doing it.

Working through your book and stuff.

Man, and you doing a great job down at the church.

Even attending Bible study.

I always knew you had it in you.

You just had to get out your own way.

So you could make it happen.

I gotta give you some appreciation though, man,

'cause you always believed me.

Oh yeah, give God the glory.

Give God the glory.

What's up with you though, what are your plans?

Oh, I'm just gonna chill today, ain't doing nothing major,

just gonna stay fresh, for the Lord.

No, no.

Longterm, bro.

Oh, I'm going back to school.

Yeah?

To get a degree in theology.

Theology?

Yeah, so when my father ready to pass the baton,

I'll be ready.

And in the meantime, I can help him with his ministry.

That's good, I could see that for you, man.

Oh yeah, God is good.

I like that for you.

Oh yes. God got us, man.

Well, let me get your keys, I'm a go ahead

and get out of here.

Why, what you need my keys for, what you doing?

Man, I'm gonna go get some rims on that raggedy car man.

Your car looking bad for your birthday.

'Cause you look like you're struggling man.

Look like you don't even know God, the way your car looking.

Come on man.

You're about to put rims on my car for real?

Yeah, happy birthday, brother.

You ain't got to do that, man.

I know, but once I made my mind up, you know it's final.

Kevin decided to stop by the nearest store

on his way to getting the rims for my car.

You know, it has been fun, but we really do need

to get going.

What, they closed?

Ah man, and this boy's car hot, needs some AC.

You're crazy man.

Yeah.

So what you gonna do?

What you mean, what I'm gonna do?

Man, what you gonna do, man?

What you mean, what do I mean?

They done shot your homeboy.

I think we just need to let God deal with this man.

Let God deal with it?

Man, I'm tired of you and this praying.

You pray, pray, pray, and you broke.

So what you wanna do?

You wanna just go roll up on them.

You praying and your homeboy

in critical condition right now.

Have you forgot where we from, huh?

We don't pray.

We send them to God, and let him deal with it.

So, what you gonna do?

Huh?

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go man.

So, tell me a little bit about yourself.

What brought you down to his place here?

Well, they transferred me over here.

You know, I'm ready to make a difference, you know.

Yeah.

Exactly what I use to think.

What do you mean?

My father was a cop.

So of course, it was real important that I became one.

15 years, he gave his life to this precinct.

I hardly ever saw the guy.

15 years.

Last thing I wanted to do was become a cop.

And when I did, all I wanted to do was do the right thing.

Yeah.

I wanted to do the best I could to clean this place up.

You start off well, you mean well.

Then you realize that you're not dealing with normal people

out here.

There all savages. There's no law, no rules.

Savages?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, y'all didn't tell me your homeboy

was a madman.

You ready?

Ready.

Ain't no turning back.

I know.

Just like the ten commandments.

Written in stone.

I told him it was the wrong hit,

and he still went top busting.

Whoa, did you hear that?

Yeah, sounded like gunshots.

I'm calling it in.

No. This is our call.

We got this.

Police!

Hold it right there.

Let me see those hands.

Both of you.

Let me see those hands right now.

Let me see those hands or you're dead.

That's when I knew I had

to turn my life around.

D-Rock took the charges and copped out to 10 years,

just so I could have a future.

Business started booming for Mitch and Tommy.

As a result, they all got caught up in sting operation

and got 25 years to life for conspiracy.

Even Mitch old girl, Diamond, got caught up in it.

Kevin survived, but the bullet that hit him in his back

severed his spinal cord and paralyzed him

from the waist down.

Gentlemen and gentlemen, I'm here to talk to you all

today about how when you fall, how to get back up.

After everything we had gone through,

Tiffany and I both realized it was God that got us

through it.

Lord, I want to thank you for helping me to look past

my selfish ways and helping me to mend my relationship

with my father.

So we both our lives over to him.

Dear Lord, I'm asking forgiveness for all my sins, Lord.

Soon thereafter, Tiffany and I decided to do the

right thing and get married.

Do you Marquise take Tiffany to be your lawfully

wedded wife, keep her in sickness and in health,

forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Tiffany, do you take Marquise to be your lawfully

wedded husband, do you promise before God and these

witnesses to love him, comfort him, honor him,

and keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others

for as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Now, by the power vested in me, as a minister of the

Gospel in the state of Florida, I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Marquise, you may kiss your bride.

Once the book was done, Pastor Evans hooked me

up with a publisher that was a part of his congregation.

God bless you, Marquise.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

- Take care of yourself. - You too.

Oh my god, oh my god.

I can't believe I finally get to meet you.

I flew all the way over from Amsterdam,

and I just got here for the book signing.

Wow.

My book would go on to sell over three million copies.

And within five years, I was able to buy Tiffany

that house of her dreams.

Hey.

Hi, how are you?

Good, you guys look very nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How are you doing again?

I'm doing very well.

Hey baby.

Hi.

You ready to see this house?

Tell your parents it's really nice.

Let's go check it out.

Come on, let me show you.

This house is 700,000 square feet.

My goodness.

Yes.

I didn't even mind when Tiffany

would invite Jasmine over.

I figured a friend of hers was a friend of mine.

Hey, baby.

And you overlooked this letter I left for you

on the counter.

It's from D-Rock.

D-Rock?

Yeah.

Let me know if you need anything, okay?

Okay, love you.

Love you too.

What's up little cuz?

You know I'm not into writing these long letters,

but I wanted to congratulate you on the success

of your book.

And I wanted to let you know, because of you,

I give up myself to God too.

I always knew that the truth resided in him.

But man, I was too caught up in these streets, shh,

but after a few years of being cased up in here,

I was able to slow down and really recognize things

for what they were.

And it became obvious to me, that I had to turn my

life around.

By the way, if everything goes right, I should be home

in less than five years.

Love you, cuz, see you soon.

Daddy, come get in the pool with us.

Alright.
