Yeah, Walter. Hi, it's George.

I know it's my third call on a Saturday,

but I'm having a bit of a problem
with the Lockwise Helping Hand account.

Now, I know it's your baby,
and I know you'll straighten it out,

but, well, I'm thinking of heading into
the office today to see if I can sort it out.

So, no problems. We'll see you on Monday.

Don't worry about it.
Give my Iove to Rebecca. Bye-bye.

- Barbara, stop it.
- No.

- You need this.
- No, I will not.

George!

George, yes. Where is George?

- I would Iike to speak to him.
- I don't know.

I don't even know who you are, young Iady.

- George.
- Thank God.

George, who is this young Iady?

- Here, honey.
- That's...

I can't do this.

That's my wife, Mom.

No. She's too young.

How old is she?

We were married nine years ago, remember?

She's nine years old?

Our marriage is nine years old,
our marriage.

She's the second one.

No. I adored the other one.

I know, Mom, but,
you know, she tried to kill me.

No, she didn't.
That was just a Iittle hit-and-run.

Yeah, well, I was in traction for two months.

I don't remember that.

- Here you go.
- I Iike this one.

- Well, that's the most popular one.
- Yeah.

There you go.

- We aren't done with this.
- Yes, I know. I know.

And why are you wearing a shirt and tie
on a Saturday?

I have to go into the office.

- You're going into the office?
- Yes.

- When?
- Now.

George, aren't you forgetting something?

No, I'm not.

I Iove you.

Nice try. Your son.

You promised him you would take him
to his baseball game today.

I'm not telling him this time. You do it.

Honey, I'll be back in time.
The game doesn't start until 2:00.

1 :00.

I'll be back.

Mom, Dad, Grandma isn't eating.

God, I hate old people.

Watch your mouth, young Iady.

Why? It's not Iike she understands
anything we're saying.

You know what? I've had
just about enough of your attitude.

Hello? You Iistening?

iPod. They were made
to ignore the stepmother.

George?

Honey, would you take those things off,
please, and Iisten to your mother?

Okay, she is not my mother.

She's the mother of that thing.

- You're the thing.
- You're a thing.

- You're a thing, sister.
- Don't call me that.

Dad, I'm really excited
about the game today.

It's gonna be so cool having you there.

Jeremy's dad is always there,
but he yells at me if I miss the ball.

Well, that's not gonna happen today, son.

Now, I've got to run to the office,

but I'll be back in time
to take you to your game.

You promise?

Scout's honor.

Don't forget. I:00.

He's not coming.

That was the Star Trek sign.

He's a Trekkie.

And so am I.

- Morning, Jackie.
- Hello.

Don't you wish it was this quiet every day?

Be careful what you wish for.

Gotta be mine

Gotta be strong

A Iittle while

And you got nothing to be guilty of

You might not wanna sing that song.

Okay. Shred everything.

My shredder's broken.
I need another shredder!

- Here we go!
- Who's got one?

Don't Ieave any evidence. Nothing. Okay?

- Put 'em in a box!
- Let me through. Let me through.

Shred everything! Here, here. Right here!

AII the boxes!

AII right. Grab those two!
What are you doing?

Just get it in here! Anything!

I got one more!

- Is it the Iast quarter?
- Yeah.

Dump everything!

George, come in here, buddy.

Come in, come in, come in.

Walter, what's going on?

Hey, Iisten, pull your money out of the bank,

cash in all your stocks and bonds
by 10:00 a.m. Monday morning.

Why?

Well, CNN is doing
one of those investigative reports

about Lockwise Industries.

That's fantastic.
That'll be great for business.

Not really. They're gonna say we've been
running a Ponzi scheme for seven years.

Well, they can't say that, Walter.
That's Iibelous.

I mean, this firm's been operating
successfully for over 100 years.

Yeah, yeah, they're focusing
on the charity division, Helping Hands.

Helping Hands has been going strong
for over eight years.

I should know. I'm CFO.

Yeah. Yeah, you are.

Could you say that again,
the part about the CFO?

I'm CFO. I should know.

Right. Perfect, perfect. Thanks.

Walter, are they reporting
that it's our division?

Yeah. Your division.

But I have all the records.

Say that again.

But I have all the records.

Perfect. Now shred them.

- Walter.
- Yeah.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that all the monies

that came into Lockwise Industries'
Helping Hands charity investment group

are part of a big, old Ponzi scheme.

What?

Yeah. Christ.

It worked for a while.

I almost feel bad for hanging
you out to dry Iike this.

You should see your face, dude.

And by the way,
this is not gonna be pretty for you.

I feel awful.

Horrible.

What? But...

For me?

You were a Iowly accountant, remember?

And then I pull you out of bookkeeping
and make you the CFO.

I mean, you had no experience
whatsoever. None. None at all.

I had worked here five years
prior to that, Walter.

- I was working hard. I thought I earned it.
- You did work hard.

Nobody earns it around here.
I had to bang my way to the top.

And there's a Iot of big women
on the Board of Directors here.

And that was hard,
and it was hard to stay hard.

So don't talk to me about "hard."

Okay? You were paid a seven-figure salary
for exactly this reason.

What reason?

So you could take the fall.
Man, you've been paid to be screwed.

Kind ofjealous. Oh, well.

Walter, I knew nothing about this.

Yeah, I know. I know. Sorry.

Would have ruined it if you had, kind of.

Well, that explains why I couldn't get
those accounts to balance.

Now you're thinking.

What about the charities?
Walter, 82 charities.

They think their monies are safe.

I'm handing you over to the Feds,

and all you care about
is the stupid charities?

By the way, there's only 12 charities.

There's 82 charities.

No, there's 12. The other 70 companies
were set up by the Malone family.

Awkward.

The Mafia Malones?

You've been Iaundering money, dude.

Yeah, this is gonna be really awful for you.

Hey, man, be careful
when you start your car.

This is not happening.

A Ponzi scheme? A Ponzi scheme?

Walter, where are the investors' monies?

Walter? Walter!

Okay, calm down. Calm, calm, calm.
Calm down.

That's it. That's it.

Just calm down.

I'm not calming. I'm not calming.
I'm not calming.

- Hey, boss, just the person I wanna see.
- What do you have?

So I've been Iooking
into the Malone crime family, right?

And the more I Iook at them,

I'm finding that they're connected
to this company

that does a Iot of charity
investment work, called Lockwise.

Yes?

I think they may be
Iaundering money through them.

- We've been after these guys for years.
- Yeah.

Why don't you see
what you can find out, okay?

Okay.

Thanks a Iot.

George?

I've been calling you for hours.

Yeah, I know. I know.

How is he?

- He was upset, but he'll be fine.
- That's good.

Is it true?

What?

Come on, George.
Don't play games with me.

AII the wives were talking about it
at the field today.

Honey,

I swear I had no idea this was going on.

Okay? None.

I walked into the office,
and there's Walter, and he's saying,

"Why don't you shred stuff?
Shred whatever you have.

"Shred what's in your desk.
Just shred everything."

And I'm going, "What's going on?"

And he's saying,
"You're gonna take the fall for this,

"because it's a Ponzi scheme.
It's a Ponzi scheme, and you're the one.

"You're going down,
'cause you're the CFO."

You know? I mean, they gave
Bernie Madoff 200 years, honey.

What do you think they're gonna do to me?
What do you think they're gonna do?

And what's gonna happen with the kids?
What's gonna happen?

Howie's afraid, you know,
"Dad, you missed a game."

I'm gonna miss 38 seasons.

Sweetheart, I'm in trouble.

- Calm down.
- Okay.

- We need to get a Iawyer.
- A Iawyer.

And then you need to go to your mom's

and go find your mom's Valium.

Get a Valium out of my mom's purse.

- Okay. Can you do that? Like right now.
- Okay.

And you need to calm down.

- Honey.
- It's gonna be okay.

- It will be. It will be.
- Yes.

You know, minimum security.
It's not that bad.

Hey, Madea.

Hey, Lorraine, how you doing?
Good to see you.

Lord, it's a zoo up in there
on the first of the month.

Excuse me, ma'am. You wanna take this?
I don't feel Iike taking it back.

Thank you so much.
It's crazy up in there. Be careful.

They ain't taking that EBT card.
They stopped taking that.

I got to go somewhere else that take that.

Yeah, I got to go burn up my EBT card.

Give me your money.

That's a cute Iittle gun you got, boy.
Get out this car.

Lady, I will stab and shoot you.
Give me your money.

Son, I'm gonna tell you this one time, okay?

I want you to get out of this car
and go on about your business.

Go get you a job.

You ain't supposed to be stealing
from nobody working as hard as I...

What the hell you got to come over here
and steal from the poor for?

Get out the car. This is your warning, son.
Get out the car. Now, go on.

Then give me your money!

I worked for years to get my Social Security.
Now, I finally got it.

I ain't on no fixed income.

I'm on a broke income,
'cause I'm broke as hell.

Now, I want you
to get the hell out of this car.

This is your chance. Get out of the car, son.
Go on, now. Go get you a job.

I'm gonna ask you one more time,
old woman.

I'm gonna tell you one more time.

Look here! Get out of this car.
Go find you a job. Do you understand me?

They got people all over the world
that is working hard,

and y'all young thugs gonna come
try to take money from somebody.

That makes me mad.
Now, you about to make me mad.

You about to piss me off.
Now, get on out the car, son.

- I'm gonna count to three.
- Okay.

One, two, three.

Four.

Five.

I thought you was gonna count to three.
Son. Son, son, Iet me tell you something.

Get out the car
and go on about your business.

Now, this is your Iast chance.
This is your Iast chance. Now I got to go.

One more time. One, two...

Three!

Let's go this way.

Put your seat belt on.
You need a car seat?

Come get my money!

Trying to take my damn money
that I worked this hard for.

Lady!

I don't got insurance, Iady!

Slow down! Slow down!

You're screaming
straight up Iike a Iittle biatch!

I want to go home!

You want the money? You come get it.
I come get the money.

- I'm a real thug! I'm a real thug!
- You crazy!

Oh, my God!

Jake!

I'm sorry. Take it.

Hey, what do you got?

Well, just got off the phone with the SEC,

and it seems that this Lockwise charity
is definitely a Ponzi scheme.

COO, one Walter Burns.

CFO, George Needleman.
Never heard of him.

Let's arrest them both.

Well, it turns out
that Burns is on a private jet,

according to the FAA, to Europe.
Took off five hours ago.

So I'm sure he's gonna fight extradition.
But our boy, George, now...

Boy George? I Iove Boy George.

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon

You come and go
You come and go

Sir?

Sorry.

George Needleman? Our guys should be
knocking at his door at any minute.

Great.

Well, it'd be great if we could get him
to testify against the Malones,

but that may be a tall order.

Okay, but no deal for him.

Look, I'm tired of these people
sticking it to the poor.

Sir, if we don't offer him a deal,

what incentive does he have
to testify against the mob?

It's very simple, Brian.

If he testifies,
the Malones will probably kill him.

If he doesn't,
he goes to prison for the rest of his Iife.

It's a win-win.

Sir, I think we should consider...

No, you don't. I want him fried.

Now, get our agents there
before the Malone family gets to him.

Yes, sir.

Hi, it's George Needleman
calling for Jeffrey.

Yes, I'll hold.

Where are my car keys?

You don't drive anymore, Barbara.

I know that.

Dad, I wish you could have
been there today.

Honey, your dad was very busy.

You suck.
You should probably just give it up.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

And I just tweeted that.

- Dad!
- Howie, stop.

Your dad's on the phone. Eat your dinner.

Okay, thank you.

What'd he say?

Well, his secretary said
that he would recommend an attorney,

but that he didn't wanna represent me.

After all those years of business with him?

Yeah.

What about Jeffrey?

Nobody's returning my calls.

Has anyone seen my car keys?

Mom, you don't drive anymore.

Is it Hanukkah?

No, it's not Hanukkah.

Yes, it is. That's why that nice young man
asked me to deliver this package to George.

And it's a Iong drive,
and so I need my car keys.

Mom, who gave you this?

In the backyard,

this man with a shiny, black suit
and black, shiny hair.

George, there's a note.

"You tock from me."

"Take," honey. That says "take."

No, I think that's "tock," honey. T-O-C-K.

Just read it.

Well, the man obviously
needs a spelling Iesson,

not to mention his grammar.

Can we open the present now?

Mom, you know what? Let's not open this.

No, this is ridiculous.

Oh, my God!

- It's a dead rat.
- I know.

What does this mean?

AII rats die.

Oh, my God. George.

Don't move. Just stay here, okay?

Don't move.

Stay here.

George Needleman?

Yes.

FBI. You're under arrest.

No!

I can't believe this.

You can't make bail.
Your accounts are frozen, George.

Well, here's the thing.

I haven't done anything wrong.
I just wanna go home.

That's not gonna happen.

The Malone family
is trying to kill you, George.

We've been given orders
to keep you protected.

What does that mean?

It means you and your family
are coming with us.

We have a problem with Needleman.

What happened?

I think Malone's boys know

that we're gonna offer him a chance
to testify against them,

so they sent their signature.

Is he all right?

Yeah, we're getting him out of there now.

Good, I'll get on the phone
with the US Marshals right away...

No, no. No, no. They can't go
into one of our regular safe houses.

The Malones have penetrated
our guys before.

We need to move him some place safe, now

Good idea. What do you suggest?

I don't know,
but first thing tomorrow morning,

they're on a plane headed here.

You figure it out and tell no one.
Not even me.

Sir, I've got kids at my house.

I don't know what I would do
with a whole family of...

I don't know. You've been
a prosecutor for over a year.

This is a big case for you, Brian. Handle it.

Jake.

What you doing here?

You know, I'm just helping your auntie out.

What'd you do?

I tried to rob her.

Boy, what is wrong with you?
I thought you gave up the gang banging.

- What the hell?
- I'm in trouble.

My dad put me in charge of
the church's mortgage payoff fundraiser.

I think I may have lost the money.

How?

I invested in some company,
and now they won't return my calls.

Jake, come on, man.

I know, and he's gonna kill me!

He just wanted
to pay the church's mortgage off

so that he could retire in peace.

Look what I did. And he's so sick.

I mean, those people at the church told him
not to make me trustee of the money.

But you know what my dad did?
"What your dad did, Jake?"

My dad went up there and told them
I was a changed man!

You know what else he said?

He said, "Everybody deserves
a second chance."

- Calm down, man.
- You know? He said, "Everybody."

- Jake. Jake.
- He did that for me.

- And you know what?
- Hey, hey, hey.

Calm down before Madea comes out
and slaps the hell out of you.

Look, Brian, I need you to help me
get this money back from Lockwise.

Lockwise Industries? New York?

Yeah.

That is a Ponzi scheme, man.

I don't know how I can help you
get any money back from there.

We're investigating them.

A Iot of people invest in these companies,
and those guys live this lavish lifestyle.

They spend all the money,
so there is no money.

And whatever the government can find,

maybe it's pennies on the dollar
that they can get back to the investors.

I don't know how I can help you, man.

Brian, I got to get this money back.

How much money you talking?

$114,000.

You were robbing Madea? Madea doesn't
have that kind of money. What were you...

Jake, don't tell me you were gonna rob
a bunch of old women.

How many little old ladies you think
you gonna have to rob to get $114,000?

114,000.

Boy, get your ass off my porch
and go home!

Yes, ma'am!

Help me get this money back.

Oh, man. Auntie Madea, man.

What am I doing?

Hey, hey, Madea.

Hey, Brian. Hey, Brian.

Hey.

I don't know why the hell
you go in the bathroom

and leave the toilet seat up, Mabel.

Hey, Daddy.

Do I know you?

I'm past 18 now. You can stop pretending
like you don't know me,

so you don't have to pay child support.

Hey, son. How you doing?
I Iove you so much. So good to see you.

You want something to eat?
I'm making a sandwich for Joe.

I wouldn't eat that, son.
I wouldn't eat that at all.

I believe she be trying to kill me
for my insurance money.

You ain't got no insurance money.

In that case, I'm gonna eat this sandwich
she done made.

I'm not trying to kill you
for no insurance money.

I'm gonna kill you 'cause I want you dead.

I just want you completely dead.

Just no Iife in you at all. Just not breathing.
Just maggot food.

Here, son, try to taste that for me.

Hey, I'm not tasting that. Thank you.

What you doing here, son? What you want?

Well, I wanted to talk to you, Madea. I have...

You want some money or something?
I ain't got no money.

You don't need to be coming over here
asking me for no money.

Daddy, I didn't ask you for any money.

Good. Then Ioan me some,

'cause I need a Iittle change
for my Friday night Iights.

What are you talking about?

I be running them hoes, dawg.
I be running them hoes.

Shut up, fool.

I ain't got no money either, Brian.
What you want? What you come by here for?

Well, I came by with a proposition.

I just thought, you know,
you might wanna make a Iittle extra money.

You know, the Iast time a man told me

he had an opportunity for me
to make a Iittle money,

I ended up in Mexico,
chained to 20 other women,

walking down the street, just selling myself.

You do need some money, don't you?

Yeah, I could always use
a Iittle bit of money.

Hell, things been tight around here.

I was even thinking about
going back to my old job.

- Stripping?
- No.

- Hooking?
- No.

- Robbing?
- No.

- Hit man?
- No.

Slinging?

No.

I did have some hustle
back in my day, though.

I was doing a thing.
I was doing a thing back then.

I done got the better now.

Good those days are over here,
'cause you too big to be on a pole, Mabel.

I'm gonna tell you right now about that pole.
You know, they done switched them.

When you was back there dancing,

they had them telephone poles
you used to swing on.

Now, they got them Iittle brass poles.
I seen them.

You'd bend or broke one of them.
You'll bend it.

Your big ass'll break that brass.

Big ass and brass don't mix.

Joe, shut up, please. Just die.
Stop breathing. Okay? Stop breathing.

I'm talking about going back to work
at an old folks' home where I used to work.

No, no, you don't have to do that.
I got a great idea.

AII right, here's the situation.

I've got five people
that are in a Iittle bit of trouble.

One of them is a witness
on a case that I'm working on.

And I was wondering
if they could stay here for a while.

Just for a couple of months
until the trial is over, maybe?

Here? No.

You better shut that up now.
Ain't nobody coming up in here.

Hell to the no. Ain't nobody...

You better hush that up now.
Ain't nobody coming up in here.

- Daddy.
- What?

No, that's just crazy.

Have some criminal up in this house,
looking all crazy, and police looking...

Hell, that's how Mabel live every day,
ain't it? That's your Iife.

Shut up, rectum.

Go to hell.

Is somebody after them?

Yes, ma'am.

But, wait a minute.
I would not ask you to do this.

You're my aunt. I know they'll be safe here.

Not one person would know they're here.
This is the safest place for them.

That's some bull.
He's trying to sell you a load of bull.

- What'd they do?
- I can't tell you that.

But I can tell you this. I can tell you this.

You know, you, you pack. You know?
Ain't nobody gonna mess with you.

And this is the safest place for them.

You could be like their
witness protector, Madea.

Look here, don't be trying
to butter me up and all that stuff.

I see what you're trying to butter me up.

Yeah, I know I'm packing.

I know I can hold some things down,
but, no, I don't want nobody up in here.

I'm sorry. Absolutely not.

I cannot do that. You're gonna have to find
somewhere else for them to go.

The answer's a flat-out no,
and I am not changing my mind.

My no mean "no," my yes mean "yes."

And my "maybe" mean "get the hell out."
I'm sorry.

Absolutely not. Flat-out no.
Ain't gonna happen. Get on out of here. No.

Too bad, then.

I'll just tell my boss we'll have to find
somewhere else for them to stay.

Guess some other lucky person
will make that $4,000 a month.

You know what?

I believe it would be the greatest
Christianity thing I could do

to help somebody in need.

So I'm gonna go ahead
and make up these sheets and clean up.

Mabel, you know, I believe I'm gonna go
drag that cot out of that garage.

I got a cot back there,
and we can put a sheet up in my room.

We could share, make sure we got
enough room for everybody up in here.

So is that a yes?

Ain't nothing wrong with that cot.
Ain't nothing wrong with it at all.

Got a Iittle mold growing in it, but that's
all right. As long as you don't breathe...

Where the hell are we?

Honey, we are in the South.

Yes, ma'am.

And it brings back pretty fond memories.

Of what, Grams?

A boat and a man, and...

My, he had such a big...

Boat.

Hi. George?

Yes, I'm George,

and this is my daughter, Cindy,
and my wife, Kate, and my son, Howie,

- and my mother, Barbara.
- Hi, how are you?

The man in the boat.

Don't have a clue.

Cute man.

Well, I'm Brian Simmons,

and I just want all of you to know
you're gonna be in safe hands, okay?

I'm a federal prosecutor,

and we have a very safe place for you
and the entire family.

Well, here we go, kids.

This way, ma'am.

Place looks haunted.

Is this neighborhood safe?

- It's very safe.
- Okay.

There's no safer place
for you and your family. Trust me.

This is not a hotel.

Okay, Madea's gonna Iove this one.

Madea?

How's my favorite aunt, Madea?

That Brian? Come on in.

The family's here
that I was telling you about.

Hello.

Brian, what the hell's going on?

Madea, this is the family
that I was telling you about.

You forgot to mention one little
important thing about this family.

What's that?

Don't play with me.

Madea, these are the Needlemans,

and they'll be staying with you
for a few months.

What? Months?

Are you joking? What, is he joking?

Cindy.

Dad, I can't stay here.

What, are we sharecroppers now?

Honey, not nice.

Hi, I'm George.

And I'm his mother, Barbara.

And I'm his wife, Kate,
and these are our kids, Howie and Cindy.

I'm his child. I'm not her daughter.

Dad, I can't stay here.

You know, I think it's kind of nice here.

- I like it.
- Yeah, you would, you moron.

- Would you...
- This is great. Just great.

- Honey.
- Yeah, "vacation" my ass.

Hello, trip from hell.

Okay. Look here,

would y'all go on into the living room
and have a seat, please?

I would like to talk to my nephew
in private just a moment.

Thank you so much for...

It's gonna be so lovely
having all of y'all here.

Yes, just wonderful. Wonderful.

We'll be right in.

- What did you do that for?
- What the hell wrong with you?

You done brought these folks up
in this house. What is wrong with you?

Madea, Iisten. Okay,
I know that they're not African-American.

I don't care nothing
about the color of their skin.

I wanna know how in the hell
I'm supposed to hide five white folks

in a neighborhood where we ain't even got
white cats or white cars.

Ain't nothing white around here.
If the police come in this neighborhood,

they don't even come in a white car.
They send a black SUV.

I understand, but listen, listen.
I know that you can figure it out.

I know you'll work it out.

Boy, hear me clearly and good
when I say this to you.

Son, I don't know how to hide these people.

You can do it. $4,000 a month. $4,000.

You ain't Iistening to me, son.

These people are gonna stick out
around here

like I would stick out
at a Republica Convention.

Do I look like I'm a Newt Ginger fan?
Do I look like I like Newt Gingery?

Madea, okay, okay. But you'll figure it out.
I know you'll figure it out.

Are we sitting on plastic?

Mabel, I can't find the phone book.

I'm trying to find somebody.
Where are the White Pages?

My.

The man in the boat.

Hello.

Hey.

Mabel, they white folks.

Really? I didn't notice.

Come on. I'll introduce you.

Needleman family, this is my father, Joe.
You already met my Aunt Madea.

Dad, this is Howie, Kate, George, Cindy,
and Barbara.

It Iooks Iike she's undressing me
with her eyes.

Now, I'm sure that the agents told you,
but I just want to reiterate.

You can't have any contact with anyone
from your past as Iong as you're here.

Do you understand?

Dad?

Honey, I'm sorry.

This is crazy.

You suck.

Did she just say... I know she...

Did that child just say
she sucked to her daddy?

Lord, have mercy.
What generation is this? You can't...

You better hurry up
and get them the hell out of here.

Mabel gonna kill that little girl.

But, Cindy, this is only until the trial is over.
Isn't that right, Brian?

Yes, just until the trial is over.

I hate you.

That girl says she hate him. Oh, Lord,
somebody gonna have to help me.

God, help me. God, help me.

George, I know it's been
a rough day for you, so I tell you what.

I'll come by tomorrow morning about 9:00,
pick you up.

We'll go to the office
and begin working on this case, okay?

So, Madea, why don't you show your
house guests where they'll be staying?

Yeah, go on and show them, Mabel.
I ain't trying to go up there with them.

That one right there,
I don't Iike the way she's Iooking at me.

Well, you can show me to the door.
I'm getting back on that plane.

- Honey.
- Excuse us.

- You don't talk Iike that. Watch your mouth.
- Are you kidding me? Seriously.

Your ass trying to get me a case.

That's what you trying to do.
You're trying to get me a case.

Better get a speedy trial.
I'm gonna tell you that right now.

I'll get a speedy trial.

What's happening to us?

Kate, if I'd known

that taking care of my family
would lead us to this, I would've...

This wasn't about family.
This was about you.

We have way more than we needed.

This was about greed.

You know, sweetheart,

I seem to recall you were very happy
with my promotion, too.

What were you thinking?

I don't know.
I wasn't even aware this was going on.

You're not aware
of a lot of things going on now.

- Kate...
- I don't wanna talk about this.

I'm gonna unpack my bag and go to sleep.

We're done. It's done.

It's gonna end just like that?

Come on, man. Don't let her pimp you.

She wanna go to sleep? Knock her ass out.

Joe, shut the hell up.
They're having a private conversation

in a room about not being aware
of what's going on.

If he ain't aware,
that is between the two of them.

Shut up. Let them have
their private moment, please.

When a door is closed, that mean
you ain't supposed to be listening.

Leave them people alone. Shut the hell up.

- Mabel, you shut up.
- No, you shut the hell up.

Mabel, I'm older than you.
I'll do whatever the hell I want to do.

Yeah, it's my house.
You gonna shut up up in here

or I'm gonna come up and
cut your vocal cords out.

You ain't gonna be able to say
a damn thing!

Good night.

What the hell?

Boy! Boy!

Is that you farting, son?

It wasn't me.

Fart one more time.
That's all I'm gonna tell you.

Fart one more time.

In here farting like that.

What's wrong with you, boy?
That's doggone insane.

Hello, Joe.

You wanna give it a go?

Mabel.

Mabel, they trying to get me.

No, no, trying to get me

Iike they get them football players
and them basketball players.

I don't think so. No, no, no.

I won't bite.

Lord, Lord, Lord.

You staring at me?

No, no, I wasn't staring at you.

Okay.

I was watching the wildebeest
in its natural habitat, though.

Excuse me?

That's not nice.

Yeah. Her butt must be hungry,
'cause it's chewing that dress alive.

If you need anything, anything at all,

I'm just a whisper away.

All you got to do is whisper.

Okay, I think I'm done.

Where you rushing off to?

- Yoga's over.
- Okay.

Creepy.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

- I'm good. Thank you.
- I see you was up in there doing that yoda.

It's yoga.

No, baby, I don't have no yogurt.
I don't eat that.

That mess my stomach up.
It's got that abiffidus bacalarus in it.

I can't have that. So you go on
and get yourself something else.

I might have some in that fridge there,
but I don't eat it.

Well, it looks like you've been cooking.

Yeah, I wanted to feed your family
their first day in my house.

I wanted to make sure
y'all had something really good to eat.

So I got some waffles, some biscuits,
I got some pancakes, I got some bacon,

I got ham. I put a Iot of butter on the ham,

a lot of salt and pepper,
make it nice and flavorful.

I got oatmeal on the stove.

I got sausage,

and I got eggs and grits and everything else.

Y'all betterjust feast.

It looks so good.

It's a lot of carbs. You like carbs?

- It's a Iot of...
- Carbs.

No, baby, I don't eat crabs.
You can't eat no crabs.

You gonna have crabs and yogurt?
You about to mess your stomach up.

Ain't no seafood on here, honey.
I'm allergic to seafood.

Ain't no seafood here nowhere.

Is that how you stay so thin?

No, honey, I don't eat that stuff.
Where your family?

They're sleeping still.

What? They got to get up.

No, baby, your children got to go to school.
I got to get them registered,

and George is supposed to see Brian
down at the attorney's office.

So, no, no, no, you got to get them up.

Okay, well, I was just gonna let...
You know, they're so exhausted.

- No, I'll go get them up. Here, you take this.
- Okay.

Take this and stir that real good.

- Whip it real, real good. You understand?
- Yeah, I understand.

All right, you need to put something... Here.

Here, put this on.
Put this on while you whip.

- You don't wanna get that on you.
- Okay. No.

- Put that on. Okay, whip it.
- Thank you.

- Whip it real good.
- I will.

George, get up out this bed, son.

Kate.

I had this horrible dream

that we were in trouble with the FBI,

and we moved into this house
with an old woman who looked like...

Like what?

You.

It's not a dream. It's really happening.

I'm in so deep.

George, you need to get up out this bed.
Brian is waiting for you down at the office.

He said he was gonna have you
come down there this morning.

Now, get up on out this bed.

My Iife is over.
I'm not getting out of this bed.

There's no reason to get out of this bed.

You need a reason? You need a reason?

You better get your ass out this bed.

Is that enough reason for you?

Let me tell you something, son.

I don't allow nobody to feel sorry
for themselves in my house.

I don't know what you did.
I don't care what you did.

Do you understand?

I need you to get up out this bed,
come downstairs,

have breakfast with your family,
Brian is waiting on you down at the office

to talk about
whatever y'all need to talk about.

It ain't my business. I don't wanna know,
but you gonna get up out this bed.

If I come back up these stairs,
and you still in this bed,

do you have any idea what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna get completely naked,
and get up in there with you and spoon.

I'm up.

Thank you.

I am definitely up.
You don't have to come back.

I'm coming right down.
I'm coming right down.

I'm on my way.

Get up, son.

What's wrong?

You just scared me.

You're just so huge.
Like a giant bag of Skittles.

All right, you better get the hell up,

or when I come back up in here,
you know what's gonna happen?

You gonna taste the rainbow.

- Now, get up.
- I'm up. I'm up.

Probably dreaming about Skittles
and Coca-Cola and Pepsi,

diet soda and Mountain Dew
and Honey Buns,

and damn Krispy Kreme and everything else.

So you're up?

There you are, Sadie.
You must iron the sheets.

Mr. Needleman gets very angry
if there are any wrinkles.

Honey, who the hell is Sadie?

Don't you use that kind of language with me.

'Cause I'll have you fired.
Do you understand?

Mrs. Needleman. Okay, I get it.

The mall is open, but there
ain't nobody in there shopping.

What's that smell?

It's called food. I'm cooking.

It smells up the whole house. It permeates.

Thank you. You always were
the best colored help we could ever find.

Okay, Brian playing a joke on me.

I'm being Punk'd. I know I'm being Punk'd.
Where the camera at?

Little girl, I need you to get up, honey.

Go away.

Never had no child talk to me
like this before. Lordy.

Honey, I got to bring y'all down to school
and get you registered. Now, get up.

I said, go away.

She just yelled at me in my house.
I don't know what she...

Little girl,
I'm gonna tell you one more time...

I said, go away!

I know she didn't just...

Who the hell you think
you talking to?

Oh, my God! What is wrong with you?

This is my house.

You live by my rules
when you are in my house.

You're too young for that, little girl.
You don't want none of this.

Please, do yourself a favor, honey.
You do not want none of this.

Behave while you're here. If not, you will...

Girl, you...

Girl, you just don't know...

I don't know who she thinks
she's talking to.

She's insane.

Hello?

Is that you, son?

- Yes, sir.
- Well, come on in here.

What are you doing here, Dad?

Well, I'm feeling better, much better.

No, you're not.
You're supposed to be at home in bed.

I just had to stop by here
to make sure everything's all right.

It's all fine.

I've decided to tell the church
the third Sunday I'm retiring.

I thought you were gonna wait
till summer to do that.

No, I can't do that, son. I'm too tired.

It'll sure make the burden so much easier

to know that everything I've worked for
all these years is gonna be Iooked after.

I am very proud of you, son.
Really proud of you.

Don't be proud of me.

Are you kidding me?
I have to tell you I'm proud of you.

You know something?
After your mother died,

I wasn't sure you were gonna make it.

You were so far out there in those streets.

But, praise the Lord, Iook at you now.

Helping me run the church,
handling our mortgage payment fund.

No, I am very proud of you, son.

You know, the congregation
is gonna be a Iittle bit upset

when I tell them that I'm retiring,
so to ease the pain,

I'm going to tell them that we have raised
the money to pay off the church.

They're gonna rejoice.

Well done, son.

Yes, sir.

I don't see her out here. Y'all come on.
Come on. Hurry up.

She always nosy as hell,
over there Iooking at everything.

Hurry up.

- Come on. Get in the car.
- Madea.

Madea.

Hey, Hattie.

How you doing?

- I'm good, baby.
- Open the door.

- Come here a minute.
- I can't talk to you right now, honey.

This my cousins, and they done Iost
all the pigmentation in their skin overnight.

- Your cousins?
- Yes.

Can I help you?

No, I got to take them
to the doctor right now.

I'll see you Iater on. Take care.

And that's all you know?

That's all I know. I swear it.

I don't believe you.

I'm telling you the truth.

You're going to jail for a very Iong time.

I can't go to jail. I didn't do anything wrong.

George, calm down, okay?

For what it's worth, I believe you.

Oh, boy, somebody believes me.
Isn't that wonderful?

Let's crack open some champagne,
because somebody believes me.

Oh, God, I'm in trouble.

I think they can believe you, too,
but you have to help me make them believe.

Just tell me what you want me to do.

What do I need to do here?

Okay, that's a good attitude, George.
Really good attitude.

Everything that wasn't shredded
or destroyed is in these files.

This is your ticket to freedom.
You're the CFO. I'm sure you can find it.

Okay, well,

this is the crux of the problem here, Brian,

because I can't seem to find anything
in here that will help.

I wanna help you. I really do.

It doesn't make any sense
for me not to wanna help.

Now does it? Does it? No. No.

I mean, don't you think
I would help if I could?

- Are you okay?
- No, I just...

I feel Iike I... I wanna hit something.

Hit the chair. Hit something.

I'm sorry.

That was a Iovely evening.

There ain't never been no evening, Iady.
I don't know you.

Stop it. There's no one around.

Read my Iips, honey. I don't know you.

You're the man in the boat.

I ain't never had no boat.

I bet if I showed you my tattoo,
you might remember.

What tattoo? What you fixing to show me?

I believe you need to see a doctor
about that, honey.

No, that's Betty Boop.

It might have been Betty Boop at one time,
but Betty Boop done drooped.

Betty Boop.

You brought me over in your Iittle boat.

Lady, for the Iast time, okay?
First of all, you insulted me.

'Cause I wouldn't have a Iittle boat.

I'm not a canoe kind of man.
You understand?

I'm a yacht, a cruise ship,
Noah's Ark up in this piece.

Only time I was ever in a boat was
that Iittle rowboat belonged to the Army

when I was in New Orleans many years ago.

I'd take people across the water
over there from the bayou to the juke joint,

and I'd charge them a nickel
to get them over there.

And they'd all take the ride and everything.
I'd give them their change.

And somebody gave me a 50-cent tip
that night.

You Barbara Betty Boop.

Yes, I was a nurse in Company B.

Yeah, I was in Company C
over there with the colored troops.

Me and a couple of my girlfriends followed
you guys all the way to your barracks.

Yeah, I remember it was four of you.

It was Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and you.

I don't even know
how you remember that, honey.

That was 56, 57 years ago.

Fifty-three.

Because George is 52.

What that got to do with anything?

What day is it?

Lady, don't you start...
What you trying to tell me?

Where am I?

I think you believe you're trying
to tell me something about George.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Hey.

I don't know where I am.

George?

- Brian.
- Jake.

You cannot keep calling me Iike this, man.

I'm in the middle of an investigation.
What are you doing?

My dad wants to announce that he's paying
the church's mortgage off in three weeks.

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Tell him the truth.

That will kill him.

He'll be very happy
that you told him the truth.

I can't. I can't do it.

Jake.

That's him. That's the dude from the news!

I ought to kill you!

- Who is this?
- I'm your worst nightmare.

Will you just...

You're my worst... I got news for you.
I'm Iiving my worst nightmare, okay?

And besides, you're a Iittle short
to be a nightmare, aren't you?

I'm short? He called me...
He called me short?

I'm gonna bust your balls!

Well, why don't you get in Iine
and bust my balls?

Because everybody else is busting my balls.

I don't have any balls Ieft, mister!
How about that?

I'm gonna... Get off.

Calm down. Nobody's kicking balls.

George, Jake, I need you both to calm down.

Is everything all right out there?

Everything's fine.

Just keep working. It's all good.

George, this is Jake.

His father has a church,
and they were gonna pay off their mortgage,

and they invested the money in Lockwise,
and they Iost it all.

So he's a Iittle bit upset.

- I'm sorry.
- You...

That's all you got to say? Is you sorry?

- Jake.
- Hell...

Yeah. Okay, okay.
You better watch yourself,

or I'm gonna give you a...

You see this? Big five. Big five.
And you're gonna get it.

If I didn't have to go to the bathroom,
you'd be in...

- Where's the bathroom, Brian?
- Okay.

Third door on the Ieft.

- Third door on the Ieft.
- Yeah.

Big five?

Jake, go home.

Get a grip, okay? Tell him the truth.

If anything comes up, I'll call you.

Can't you just go home?
Elevator's right there.

How tall are you, son?

About 6 feet.

- About 6 feet?
- Yeah.

Okay. Check.

You Iike soul music?

I do. I do. I Iove soul music.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Find out what it mean to me.

No, I dig it.

You dig it. You dig it?

Check.

Your hair's really thick and curly.

Always been that thick and curly?

Yeah, it has.

When I was a kid, I had an afro that was,

you know, Iarge.

To here. Big, big hair.

No, you said it right. You had an afro.
You didn't offend me. You had an afro.

That's what you called it, an afro. Check.

An afro.

Can you swim, son?

No. No.

I never got the hang of swimming.

Never got the hang of it. Yup. Check.

Hey, I was Iooking at your wife,
she was doing that yoda.

And she got a nice Iittle butt.

But it ain't no booty, you know?

You Iike a butt, or you Iike a booty?

You Iike a booty, one that's a big, old booty
to grab Iike handlebars and use?

Steer that thing where you want it to go,
you know?

To be honest,

I Iove my wife.

She can't hear you. She can't hear.
Man-to-man, go on and tell me.

Do you Iike a Iittle cute, nice Iittle butt,
or do you Iike a big butt

that you can grab that thing
and slap it Iike handlebars?

Well, I would Iike
a Iittle more on the bottom.

Harley-Davidson.

- A Harley?
- Yeah.

Junk in the trunk.

Some junk in the trunk. Yeah, more junk.

As Iong as you're asking.

I got one Iast question for you, son.

When you go to the bathroom
and you're at the urinal,

do you stand there Iike this?

Or do you just happen
to stand there Iike this?

Well...

And when you're finished,
do you have to do this?

Which one is it for you, son? Which one?

Well, more Iike the second part.

Without the thing at the end.

Check.

Damn. I'm your daddy.

Excuse me?

Do you have any Wi-Fi?

Well, if you ask me nice,
I'll get up and I'll make you some.

Excuse me. How do you make Wi-Fi?

Son, you use some flour,
put a Iittle water in it, some powdered sugar,

you mix it up real good,
and you get your skillet,

or you get you one of them Wi-Fi irons,

and you pour it in the Wi-Fi iron
and you close it up.

I got a Wi-Fi iron in there.

What are you talking about?

He asked for a Wi-Fi, I got a waffle.
You want a Wi-Fi? I got a waffle.

Wi-Fi. Internet.

I don't have none of that.

Ain't no technology around here at all.
We've been Ieft in the Dark Ages.

It figures.

Howie.

Honey, why do you need
to get on the Internet?

I'm supposed to do a report.

I'll help you with your report. Okay, honey?

It doesn't really matter.
I mean, he's gonna fail.

- He's dumb Iike his mother.
- Enough.

Go to hell, Kate.

Did that child just say, "Go to hell"?

You all right?

Yeah. Thanks.

Come on, sit down and talk to me.

That child right there. Lord, that Iittle girl
about to make me hurt her.

I know. I'm trying to be understanding.

Of what?

She has problems.

Honey, we all got problems.

That child ain't supposed to be
talking to you all Iike that. That is crazy.

What's wrong with that child?
What's she so angry about?

I don't know.
Just being here and out of school.

Tell that to somebody else, honey.

That child is angry about something else,
and it's deep, whatever it is.

It ain't about no school and nothing else.
This water runs deeper than that.

How do you know?

Wisdom. I didn't get this old
by not knowing nothing.

She thinks I'm the reason
that her father divorced her mother.

I wonder where she'd get that from.

Are you?

No. What kind of person do you think I am?

A woman.

No, their marriage was over,

her father filed for divorce already,
but she's hated me ever since she met me.

And George just sit there,
don't say nothing?

He just sit there and not say a word?

George doesn't say anything
to anyone these days.

Lord, have mercy.

I know. But she needs him.

Because her mother, she is so evil.

She filled her head with all these
horrible things about me and about us.

And then, two years ago,

she dropped her off at our doorstep,
hasn't contacted her ever since,

and now she's angry.

And now she's up in my house
and she got me worried.

Honey, I'm just worried.

She'll be fine.

I'm not worried about her,
I'm worried about me.

'Cause I feel Iike I wanna choke her to sleep.

I just wanna grab her
till the Iife is out of her sometimes.

She's so flip.

Yeah, I get it.

And when she talk back to you,
you just have a Iittle argument with her

and you just Iet her start her mouth
and say whatever she want to say?

Don't do that, honey.

You have to talk to her in a Ianguage
that she understand.

You got to Iearn
how to start speaking your damn mind.

I speak my mind.

I didn't say, "Speak your mind,"
I said, "Speak your damn mind."

If somebody do something
you don't Iike, you say,

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?

"You better get your ass together.
This is some straight up bull.

"Hell, what is wrong with you?
You heard me? Hell."

That's what you got
to say to them sometime.

- Okay. I will.
- Think about that.

It'll make you feel better.
You'll feel so Iiberated.

You're around here doing all that yoda.
Honey, you ain't got to do all that yoda.

You ain't got to do not one more yoda.

I'm gonna try that next time.

Good. I just gave you some great advice.

You gave me some good advice.

I'm gonna give you some better advice.

White folks ain't supposed to be out here

on this porch
in the middle of the night, honey.

Okay.

Yep. Nope, come on,
Iet's go on in the house.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, you go on first.

Any luck?

No, none.

George.

Yeah, I know what you're going to say.
You don't think I'm trying.

Look at this charity, right here.

Okay. I don't really have to Iook at it.

Hear me out.
Listen to what I'm saying to you.

These guys dig wells in Africa.

This one, breast cancer.

This one,
they stop sex trafficking of children. Okay?

This one, AIDS research. This one, cancer.

This homeless shelter
is gonna have to close.

George, you got to help me
help these people.

Brian, I'm eight years away from retiring,

and now I'm facing jail.

And all these people were hurt

because I wasn't paying attention.

And I was Iooking forward to retiring.

Spending time with my son.

Getting great, big bear hugs
after a good game of catch, you know?

Seeing my daughter happy,

content.

I just wanted to Iive happily ever after
with my family.

And now, my family's falling apart.

So maybe I deserve all of this, okay?

'Cause I can't believe
what's happening to me.

How could I not see this coming?

George, you couldn't see it
because you weren't paying attention.

But now your eyes are wide open.

But none of this makes sense to me.

I mean, I see accounts here and they all start
with a Ietter of the alphabet.

"A," "P," "U," "J," "K," "R," "I."

We never use the alphabet
to start accounts, Brian.

I don't know what I'm Iooking at here.
I really don't.

You can't just keep Ietting people
walk all over you.

You were a mark. They set you up.
They thought you were weak.

They did this on purpose to you.

Are you just gonna Iay down
and Iet that happen,

or are you gonna claim your Iife back?

Prove them wrong.
Hit them right between the eyes.

You're stronger than this.
There is a fighter in you, George.

Show them. Show me.

You can work this out, okay?
Just don't give up.

Shall we keep digging?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- AII right.

Watch your step.

Take care now.

- Sorry, I...

Come here, son.

That's all right, son.

Maybe you ain't supposed to be a pitcher.
Everybody ain't supposed to be a pitcher.

You know, you got to get in where you fit in.

You know, I never thought about it that way.

But Iisten, son. I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna teach you how to pitch
and to catch,

because we family, we family.

- We are?
- Yeah.

Yeah. It's a Iong story. It's a Iong story.

I used to be in the Negro League.

- Negro...
- The Negro League, son.

Boy, somebody got to teach you
about your heritage.

The Negro Leagues is when
colored baseball players couldn't play...

Colored, Iike Negro, Iike me and you.

They couldn't play professional baseball,
so they came up with their own Ieague.

Satchel Paige and I played.

I was a catcher,
so I'm gonna show you how to be a catcher.

- AII right. AII right.
- AII right?

Step on back there.
I'm gonna show you how to catch this.

- I'm gonna throw it to you one good time.
- AII right.

- I want you to concentrate real hard.
- AII right.

Almost. AII right, try it.
Right here, right here.

There we go. See that?

- I've had it.
- I don't care.

Change your attitude.

- Hello, son.
- Hi, Mom.

- Your poor father...
- My father does not need...

Were you with your brother today?
AII day today, again?

No, Mom, I was with Brian.

I don't have a brother, remember?

This is all an act!

Right.

I am not being disrespectful!

You're being so fake!
You're not my mom!

- ...your attitude.
- You're making it no better.

Get upstairs!

I want to go home. I hate it here.

- Hi.
- Hi.

George, I can't do this anymore.

- That daughter is so disrespectful.
- I know.

I'm gonna do all I can
to help us get our Iife back.

I don't want our Iife back.

I want a new Iife.

One where you're in it.
One where we're all happy.

I don't know, afternoon Iunches and sex!

I want sex, George!

Should I be Iistening to this?

- No!
- No!

Kate, I'm sorry.

Stop saying sorry and get mad.

- I am mad.
- You're not mad.

I'm extremely mad.

Extremely mad, George?

You don't think I'm mad?

I don't think you're mad.

This is getting me so mad, this whole thing.

That's mad.

You're not extremely mad!
You need to get damn mad!

What?

I'm just speaking my damn mind, okay?

Hell! This is some straight up bull.

Hell, get your ass together. You heard me?

Hell!

I've got to get us out of here.

Just spill it. We gotta have it all.

Because if you don't, then you're
going to jail for the rest of your Iife.

Ever since we got here,
I don't care anymore.

Do you know what? I don't care.
You...

- Hi, honey.
- Hi. What are you doing?

- Good one. Good one, Howie.
- Thanks.

You got it.

Amazing Grace...

How was school today?

About the same
as when you were raised by Moses.

Where's my dad?

I can't stand you.

I got something to tell you, honey.
It's awfully bad news.

Precious Lord...

What?

Your daddy died.

What?

He died.

Them people that were Iooking for him,
they came here and they got him.

And they brought him out there
to the highway,

and they was painting them stripes
on the stone highway, and he tried to run,

and one of them stripe machine
put a Iine right down the middle of him.

Then the people that was coming
didn't know if it was a passing Iane

or high-occupancy vehicle Iane.

Everybody got confused
and they had a wreck,

and they just ran all over...

About 5,700 cars piled up on top of him.

And Kate, she didn't know what to do,
so she went to running.

She just started running as fast as she can.
Was running Iike Wonder Woman.

But they had a helichopter
and that helichopter got closer...

And that was it.

No! Kate, too?

Kate, too. Kate, too.

And that helichopter was spinning
and them blades...

Where's Howie? Where's Howie?

Oh, Lord. Poor Howie.
You know, he tried to run,

but he always have them candy bars
and soda pops in his pockets,

so he kept dropping things and he tripped.

So they put them cement shoes on him
and they throwed him in,

and he's swimming with the fishes.

Oh, my God!

My God! I can't believe this is happening.

Why you so upset?

What do you mean?

Well, you always say, "I hate you. You suck.
Shut up. I hate you."

I didn't mean anything that I've said before.

It's too Iate now, honey.

It's all right. They gone. Dead. Just done.

They gone.

So, the people at Child Welfare asked me
if I would take you,

so I said you can stay here till you're 18,
but you...

No! No, no! No!

I got an EBT card, what you worried about?

- Dad!
- Honey.

Cindy, what's wrong?

She told me you died.

What?

Madea, why would you tell her that?

Look, this is why I tell her that.

'Cause she's sitting around here mad
at everybody and being all nasty and mean.

Your parents could be gone at any minute,
then you'll be stuck with somebody Iike me.

Is that what you want?
To stay here in this hellhole?

I'm sorry.

Start acting Iike you're sorry, then.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Howie.

It's all right. It's all right, Cindy.

Now, Iook at her, all broke up,
acting Iike she's sad and hurt.

Okay, honey. It's okay.

Madea, that was really cruel.

George? Shut the hell up.

It worked, didn't it?

- Dad?
- Yeah, son.

There's something I need to tell you.

It'll have to wait till Iater.
I got to start the service right now.

Negros.

What the hell did you just say?

- Negros.
- Barbara!

Mom,

why don't we step out onto the porch
and get some air?

- Negros.
- Grams.

I hear Negros from my room.

I believe they're called
African-Americans now, Grandma.

Did that child just say "they"?

No, "we."

So beautiful. I hear them from my room.

- Okay.
- What's going on?

My baby mama just went Ieft, Mabel.
She just went Ieft.

Went Ieft?

I hear...

I hear them from my room.
I hear Negros from my room.

Well, I see dead people,
but I keep that to myself.

Tell them, Sadie.

Who the hell is Sadie?

Shut up.

Madea, honey. She right, she hear Negros.

It's bad enough that she's slipping.

Please don't encourage her.

No, she do hear Negros.

The whole bunch of them.

She hears a bunch of Negros?

Yes, everybody Iisten. Everybody be quiet.

Spirituals.

That's it. That's what she's trying to say,
Negro spirituals.

There's a church down on the corner.

They sing Negro spirituals on Sundays.

Why y'all so uptight?

Son, will you take me to the Negros?

- Take you to the Negro spiritual, honey.
- Spiritual.

Right. You can't just say "Negros."
Them days has passed.

First we were "Negros,"
then we was "colored,"

then we were "black,"
now we "African-American."

Okay? African-Americans.
Now singing old Negro spirituals.

- Spirituals.
- Negro spirituals.

- Spirituals. Spirituals. Okay.
- Yes, Mom. Yes, yes.

Yes, Iet's go.

Let's go down to the church.

Is it safe?

What you mean, "Is it safe," George?

What they gonna do,
stone you with a Bible? It's a church.

Pretty good.

Can I get an "amen" for our choir?

Amen!

AII right, well done.

Well done.

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord. I am so happy, so happy
to be back in the House of the Lord

where mercy can be found.

As most of you know, I have
been very sick these past few months.

But by the grace of God, I've recovered.
But I have to tell you something.

I've given a Iot of prayer
and I feel it's time for me to retire.

Now don't y'all worry, don't worry.

This church will continue,
and its future's guaranteed,

because the church has been paid off.

Praise God!

Oh, no.

And I was able to pay the church off
because of the investments of my son.

My son.

I'm so proud of him.

Son, come on up here
and tell them what you've done.

Let us praise Jesus
'cause we're all precious in His name.

Precious.

Precious?

- To all the congregation here...
- Precious.

...there's something I need to tell you.

I did invest the money...

Precious!

Somebody's got the Holy Ghost.

I know!

- You know?
- I know!

The same know that I know?

I know!

That man knows!

- You know?
- I know!

- How much do you know?
- Do you think that he knows now?

- I'm not hot, I just know.
- Praise the Lord!

Yes!

AII right, George, you want to try
to explain this to me?

Yeah.

There was a woman
named Precious Jackson

that Walter always told me about. Okay?

Now I've Iooked at these accounts
and they all start with a Ietter.

The Ietters spell out "Precious Jackson."

It's all encrypted, right here.

What the hell are you talking about?

The Ietters spell out...

Okay, I'm a Iittle confused
by this, too.

It's the name the account is in.

Okay.

Just follow this, 'cause it took some doing

to follow the money trail
from the Cayman Islands and Germany.

But the trail goes cold when the money
goes into a Swiss account. Okay?

Now, they were all given a Ietter
when they went in and came out.

- Right?
- Okay.

But every month on this date,

as the funds go into this Swiss account,

this account in the US sees a deposit.

Now I balance the two, and it's exactly 10 %

that resurfaces in the US
in this account every month

to a Iady named Precious Jackson.

What is 10 % gonna do?

Of 600 million?

That's six million!

Jake.

It's 60 million.

- Sixty.
- Sixty.

George.

I can get the church's money back.

- Praise God.
- Yes, you and all the charities.

- Can this really work?
- Yes, it can work.

Why would Walter take this money

and put it in an account with
some woman's name who never touches it?

Well, either he didn't tell her about it,
or she doesn't exist.

So what I'll do is I'll get a federal warrant,

we'll get the account seized.

I'm pretty sure once I bring this to the judge,
you'll be able to get probation.

That's a great job.

But, Brian, we can get this money
back to the people it belongs to.

It's sitting right here in this account.

You didn't just say that to me.
I'm an officer of the court.

I don't even know what you're thinking.
I didn't hear that.

I don't even want to know
what you're thinking. No. No, no, no.

- Brian.
- Not having this conversation.

- I'm out of here.
- Please. Come on.

- I will see you at the office tomorrow...
- Brian.

...bright and early, George.

- Thank you so much.
- Brian. Please.

Bye.

I've come too close to give up now, okay?
I'm not calling it quits.

I'm gonna get that money
back to the charities.

Right? I want my Iife back.

And here is where I start to take action.

So you're either with me or you're not,
but I'm not giving up without a fight.

So what's it gonna be,
Mr. I'm-a-tough-guy-from-the-hood?

Mr. You-going-down-homie?

'Cause I'll tell you,
I'm gonna do the damn thing.

So you're with me or what?

I'm with you.

- Gucci!
- Yeah.

With you.

You okay?

I will be.

George, what's going on?

I screwed up, that's what's going on.

And now there's a big wrong
that I have to right.

And I just have to figure out
how I'm gonna do it.

But I'm gonna do it. I am gonna do it.

George, I haven't seen this much fire in you
since we got married.

Well, maybe it's Iong overdue, huh?

Do you remember
our honeymoon in Florence?

- I remember it rained every day.
- It did.

And do you remember, you said,

"What if our marriage is
nothing but full of rainy days?"

I might have been joking.

But I remember
you still got upset, didn't you?

- I did.
- Yeah.

And what did you say?

I said,

"Rain does make things grow."

Exactly.

What if all this happened for a reason?

For you and I
to get to know each other again,

for our family to get closer, for us to grow?

What if it did?

Kate, you are amazing.

I swear to you, I'm gonna make things right.

I have no doubt.

Honey, you always do the right thing.

I Iove you so much.

I Iove you, too.

I'm so proud of you, George.

That's good.

I'm closing an account.

Rita, it looks like you'll be
withdrawing $4 million from us today.

$4 million?

- Is that correct?
- Yes.

Well, how would you like that?

10s and 20s?

Hey, son. We watching Ghost.

She's gonna walk up in a bank
and act Iike she somebody else.

Look at that.

You know we require identification
and all that.

Rita Miller or Oda Mae Jones,
she don't even know what her name is.

Rita Miller. That's my name.

My name. Rita Miller.

My name.

The check.

Here you are.

What the hell you Iooking at me
Iike the Iast virgin for?

Now Iet me make sure I got this right.

Y'all want me to get on the aeroplane,

go out to New York City and go in a bank
and pretend to be Precious Jackson?

Is that right?

Yes.

Does Brian know anything about this?

- No.
- He thinks you both could go to jail.

Well, I could be going to jail anyway.

That's all right. Just don't drop the soap,
you'll be fine.

I been up in there. You might have to
fight a Iittle bit, kick a Iittle ass.

But you'll be all right.

If you don't kick no ass,
they gonna take your ass.

But you'll be all right.

I don't know about this, though.
I don't feel good about this.

I just don't... I don't know. I don't know.

Madea, it's easy.

It's just as easy as it was in the movie.

Whoopi Goldberg had a dead white man
helping her

all through that whole movie.

I'll help you.

You alive. I said dead!

George, you cannot go to New York.

Honey, I have to.

You can't. They're still after you.
Are you crazy?

I'll disguise myself somehow.

They won't know me. Okay? It'll be fine.

- No, I can't do that.
- Madea.

Please, I know you can do it.

You say this is for charity?

And for the church? Right, Jake?
For the church? It's for the church?

It's for the church, for your daddy
get the money back for the church?

AII right. Now my question then becomes,

all these beautiful people
that got these charities

and helping all these children
and feeding the people around the world,

it's for that, that's wonderful,
but I have a question for you.

What the hell in it for me?

Madea, you'll feel a Iot better about yourself.

I always feel good about myself.
Hell, I was born 6'2".

237 pounds.

I have always been this big all my Iife.
I went to kindergarten this big.

I had to have high self-esteem.
I feel good about myself.

Ain't nothing you gonna tell me
gonna make me feel good about myself.

You give me some money,
that'll make me feel good about myself.

Okay, you know what?

Can we figure that out after this is done?

George, have you ever hired a ho?

No. No.

She want her money first.
Do you understand?

I need to get some money first.

Don't perform no services
until the money's on the table.

You know what? I'll do it. I will do it.

AII I got to do is go in there

and give them a bunch of accounts
to transfer the money to?

- Yes.
- 12 accounts?

I just give them the information
to do the transfer?

That's it. That's all.

AII right, I'll do it.

Then I will gladly do it. So he just
gonna wire the money to the accounts?

- Yes.
- Okay, fine.

Come on, Iet's go. Where's my purse?
Y'all get my purse.

Joe, where's my purse?
We've got to go up to New York.

You know what? If you guys are gonna go,

she can't Iook Iike this,
she can't be wearing that.

- Right.
- What's wrong with what I got on?

This came from Aretha Franklin.
Aretha gave me this.

And y'all know Aretha can dress.

You've seen Aretha,
she makes fashion statements.

How about Barbara, Cindy and I
give you a makeover?

Introducing Precious Jackson.

Wow.

This might work.

No. I don't know what the hell
y'all are thinking.

You Iook Iike a big ass bottle
of Pepto-Bismol.

- Can I give you a hand, sir?
- Yes. The Iuggage.

This bag. This way.

- Here we go?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Going to the airport.

- Right this way, ma'am.
- AII right, I'll follow you.

You ain't got to rush me,
I know where the hell I'm going.

The airport. A Iot of people here.

I'm nervous. I need to relax.

Well, there's nothing to be nervous about.

It's just Iike riding in a car,
except you're 30,000 feet higher.

Cars don't crash from 30,000 feet, George.

You need something to calm your nerves,
I got that old wee-wee.

Hey, what does that mean, drugs?

- Is that drugs?
- I know you ain't got no drugs.

- No drugs.
- If you got...

I'm gonna beat your ass

You don't bring no drugs up in here.

- They got sniffing dogs up in here.
- No drugs.

Y'all go through.
I'm not going through with y'all.

I'm not going through.
Excuse me, y'all. Excuse me.

- I'm not going through with them at all.
- Madame, you are making a scene.

- Watch yourself. Watch yourself, here.
- That's a no, no.

Y'all go on.
I don't know them. I don't know them.

Hi. Hi. A Iittle scary.

- Don't say...

Hey, he don't want me saying "bomb."

Okay.

What do I do, just give him the ticket?

And show him my ID?

- Okay.

Okay, that's me, and that's my ticket.

- That is the way.
- Okay, thank you so much.

AII right.

Now what y'all doing?

- What y'all doing?
- Taking off our shoes.

Take off your personal items
and put them in the tray.

What they gonna do
with my personal items?

Baby, I can't take off my shoe.

Do you know how hard it is for
a woman my size to take off her shoes?

I'm supposed to take off my shoes?

Yes, ma'am.

What the hell do I need
to be taking my shoes off for?

Baby, when you're this big,
it's hard to take your shoes off.

That's all I'm saying.

Take them off, but I don't know who the hell
gonna help me put them back on.

Y'all so serious.

Watch that now.

There you go.

Oh, Lord. And you just

- Now what I do? What I do?

Right this way.

Okay. I'm gonna come on

What was that?

Just step over here through the scanner.

- What'd you want me to do?
- Step through here, please.

- Okay, all right.

Now what am I supposed to do?
This ain't gonna drop me down?

Just go and put your feet

My Iegs ain't been open that wide

George, they want me to spread my Iegs.

Okay, fine.

- Now what?
- Put your hands over your head, please.

- Like this?
- That's it.

Hands over your head.

Wow, this is really sexual.

Reminds me back of my stripping days.

They used to call me Magnitude.

You see anything?

Can I have you step outside, please?

Step outside.

Right this way. Put your hands down.

- Can I close my Iegs?
- Yes, please.

Okay, thank you so much.

Yes, that's my ass.
It's from wall-to-wall in this skirt.

We're clear. Go right ahead.

You need to buy me a cigarette or a drink
or something after doing all that to me.

You don't know me.

I ain't felt that many hands
all over my body

since I got off that train from Mexico.

Where's my purse and my shoes?

Anybody ever told you
you Iook Iike Beyoncé?

No.

Madea, I found my wifey.

Shut the hell up back there. You in coach.

You ain't supposed to talk
to nobody in first class.

Didn't you see Titanic?

I'm nervous.

I know. But behave.

What the hell was that? What was that?

There better not be no terrorer on this plane.
Is there a terrorer?

Is there terrorer on here?
Better not be no terrorer.

Madea, it's a bump. Bump, bump.

What the hell a bump doing in the air?
Bumps are on the road.

- That's all.
- Bumps ain't in the air. Hell.

This thing just makes me nervous.
I don't Iike being on this thing.

I got to pee. I need something to relax me.
Calm me down.

What do you want? What do you want?

I want a joint.

- You need that good-good, Madea?
- Boy, shut up.

Flight attendant? Flight attendant?
Flight attendant?

Okay. What would you Iike?

That depends. How much is it?

You're in first class, it's free.

Okay. Well, bring me every damn thing

If it's brown, pour it.

Lord have mercy, I ain't never

They call it the Big Apple, huh?

I wonder why they call it the Big Apple.
I don't see no apples.

- Do you see the apples anywhere?
- No.

I wanna see that thing, too,
that thing with the torch on it.

The statue. The Statue of Limitations.

Lord, Iook at all these people.

I ain't never seen this many
people in one place

unless they be giving away
government cheese.

I don't understand why folk would be
all on top of each other Iike this.

This is too much.
I got to get back to Georgia.

Come on,
Iet's go get this business done.

New York!

Yes indeed, y'all. This is nice.

- Yeah, I'm in New York, baby.
- How you doing?

Hello, madame. May I take your bags?

- She is world-traveled.

She never think about the Iuggage.

I don't think about no Iuggage.

I don't think about no Iuggage
or the garbage or none of that stuff.

- This way.
- Okay.

Well, get on out of the way there.
Let a Iady pass.

You in the way, George, move.
Let them open the door for me.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

This place is Iovely. Hello.
Welcome. Thank you. Welcome.

Would you get a grip?
You've got to play the part.

Trust me. Appearance is everything. Okay?

Now, we need to get some rest

so we can get to the bank early
and get out of here.

That's fine.
Let's get some rest, then, George.

But you ain't gonna give no $20 to nobody.
That's just damn crazy.

Child, if Joe could see me now.

This mattress is nice.

No, can't Iay down flat Iike that.

Yeah. Women who is well-endowed
can't Iay flat.

'Cause them breasts will
sneak up around your neck

and choke the hell out of you

Got to throw them over to the side.

This is nice.

Silk.

Okay, here we go. Here we go.

Now remember, you're Precious Jackson,

and you wanna get all the money
transferred into the 12 accounts.

You can't keep running this
over and over again.

- You're gonna make me forget everything.
- Okay. This is it. This is it.

I understand.
You gonna make me forget everything.

I can't keep doing this over and over again.

I'm sorry, I was about to say,
"What a mighty God we serve."

You certainly do have an appointment.

Precious Jackson to see you.

Hello. Hi. Thank you so much, Magdalene.

- It's so great to see you.
- How can I help you?

Jack, I called you.

We spoke about all the transfers
that I need to do.

I got that request Iast evening. Let me see.

Jack, can we do this? I'd Iike
to add one more account to that.

Because I'm feeling so generous
and I've given to so many charities.

Here is the account number.
I know that's 12, this'll be the 13th.

- Thirteenth?
- Yes.

And, of course, in this economic climate,
you're gonna need my identification.

Precious Jackson. Here you are.

- Well, thank you.
- Okay.

She's been in there way too Iong.

She's not. She hasn't been,
and she's doing a mission.

Very dangerous work she's doing.

You're just...
You know what? You're such a...

I'd hate to be cliff-diving with you.

Look, I saw this in a movie once.

You go east, I go west,
we meet in the subway.

We'll make it out alive.

I'm not running with you. Okay?

I'm not running down the street
Iike some biatch.

Like some biatch, okay?

Wait. What are you talking about, fool?

I'm committed to see this through.

You know what they'll do with you
with that mustache in jail?

You better not snitch.

- Please.
- You kill me.

- There she is.
- Oh, my goodness.

- Jack, you kill me.
- Now, our cover.

- Yes, thank you.
- She got it.

But if there's anything else you need,
you call Jack Goldenberg directly.

I certainly will. I certainly will.

- May I help you?
- Oh, you're delightful.

- What a Iovely woman.
- No. I've got it. I've got it.

You got to stop flirting with me.
You ain't getting nothing.

I see you Iooking at my ass.
Don't you do that. Don't you do that.

- I would never do that.
- Stop that flirting with me.

- What a woman. What a woman.
- Thank you so much.

- I'll see you Iater. AII right.
- Well, our pleasure again.

- Did you get it?
- Yes.

- Let's go.
- Yes.

Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.

Well, what did he say?

Well, he's not very happy and neither am I
that you took my aunt up to New York.

To that bank. That's crazy.

But he's getting a Iot of calls
from the charities, they're very happy.

The press is very excited about it,
so he's okay, and so am I.

Well, what does that mean for me?

You've helped us gather enough information
and evidence against your former bosses

that we got a pretty solid case.

With that information, we pressured them,

and they've agreed to testify
against the Malone family,

so they won't be after you.

So we just talked about
dropping the charges against you.

What you did,
getting those accounts back in order,

and having all that money wired
back to the charities, all 13 of them,

it's really great.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was.

You're free to go, George.

- So I'm free?
- Yeah.

Enjoy your Iife, George.

Take care of yourself.
Stay out of trouble.

Thank you.

The other way.

Thank you.

This has been Iovely.
It's just been so fun having y'all here.

Madea, thank you.

Thanks for everything.

You have no idea how much
I wanna say, "Get the hell out."

But I'm holding that in, because
I'm showing so much Iove to you.

I enjoyed having y'all here.

The best part about company
is when they Ieave.

I'm gonna miss you so much, Madea.

That's okay, child. AII them potatoes
in my house is glad you Ieaving.

- Me, too.
- Yeah?

Can we come back and visit?

That is so sweet.
You wanna come back and visit?

No, I don't think so. I'm sorry.

You can write me Ietters, though.

Long, Iong, Iong Ietters. Dissertations
from very, very, very far away.

Negros.

Okay, time to get her the hell out of here.

- Spirituals.
- Now she gets it.

Okay, Mom, Iet's go. One Iast time.

Let's go.

There's my boy. There's my boy.

Bye, Joe. I'll be back.

I'll be back, Joe. Bye.

Mabel, get them the hell out of here now.

I'll see y'all around.

Bye. Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Yes!

- Love you, Dad.
- Love you, Son.

Yeah!

I did that. I got that money, baby.

I got that money!

I don't want to go to prison,
because, you know?

Food is bad,
I'm probably gonna Iose weight.

Probably go down to nothing
and get gang-raped.

I don't wanna shower in prison.

They can do strange things to you in prison.

Do you understand? Do you understand?

I think I can handle myself. I really do.

I really do. I just don't want
to go through the experience

of having to do that. Okay?

I don't want to have to worry
about other guys in there.

When I get so mad,
I'm gonna have to use my fists,

you know, just to defend myself.

Go upstairs and get your mom's pills.

- Find a Iittle straitjacket and calm down...
- And a straitjacket, too.

Figure this out, Maysie.

And then you put in that fatback grease,

and you make sure it just sits there
and soak, so it'll be Iight.

I got some oatmeal on the stove,

and I got some greens
that's gonna clean you out.

It's Iike none of this is gonna matter.

AII right.

That's pretty good for never doing it.

Oh, boy.

- Is she doing it, too? Wow.
- Yeah.

She kept her promise.

- What the hell? Charlie Sheen.
- Hey. What a surprise.

How are you? Look who back here.
Look who back here hiding.

It's Charlie Sheen.

- Big fan.
- I'm a big fan of yours, too.

I've wanted to do this ever since... I'm sorry.

- That's freaky. That's freaky. That's freaky.
- Damn. Sorry, sorry.

Go on. Go on, rest yourself. Rest yourself.

- No motorboating. No motorboating.
- Cut.

Where's Howie?

Oh, God, you don't even want to know
what happened to Howie.

It was so awful.

They just told me there was
a buffalo and a monkey somewhere,

and I just have not been able to figure
how they got out of the zoo.

I'm sorry.

I am 6'4" tall and a woman.

Do you think I have self-esteem issues?

I ain't never played for the WNBA,
but I could.

I ain't got no self-esteem issues, hell.

I got a mustache. Do you understand?
I'm a dude up under this stuff.

Sorry, this is Precious Jackson.
I'm in the Presidential Suite.

And there are two toilets here.

And I was trying to figure out,
which one am I supposed to use?

I don't know which one suits me best.
One of them has things on it Iike a faucet.

What is that for?

Yes, you know how you turn on the faucet.

I'm not a sir, I'm a ma'am.
You don't hear me, honey?

Okay, yes, there's two toilets here.

There's one that I recognize and
then there's one that I don't recognize.

It's got two handles on it, Iike you gonna
wash your hands or something.

A bidet? What is a bidet, honey?

I don't need Bengays and all that stuff.
Just trying to figure out what the toilet is.

Right. Your hands?

It's for washing your ass?

No, when I wanna wash my ass,
I take a bath, honey.

That's just nasty. Now who'd do that?

Listen, I didn't know
you were gonna answer the phone.

I thought the phone was disconnected.
I'm so sorry.

Okay. I'll talk to you Iater. Bye.

There was actually somebody there?

Yes. Yes, the whole time.

She was trying to explain to me what it was.

I'd Iike to order one of your famous...

Baby, this say hamburgers $45.
What the hell is on the burger?

No, no, no. For $45,
there better be more than a hamburger.

For $45, it better get up in this bed
and roll around with me for a Iittle while.

You don't think that's funny. Okay.

No. Do you have chicken wings?

You don't do those.

Well, maybe you can ask the chef
to prepare them for me, then.

Yes.

How many would I Iike? That depends.
How many are there in the order?

Okay, seven chicken wings. Okay.
How much are the seven chicken wings?

$30 a wing?

30 damn dollars a wing?

You crazy as hell. People pay that?

No, honey, I can't.
$30 for a damn chicken wing?

Do you know that I can get 20 of them,

20 for $1 .99 down at Roscoe's?

I can't have this, honey.
No, I'm gonna starve in this hotel.
