"House of payne"...

Can you put c.J. Down for a

Nap?

It's time for both of them,

Actually, to have a nap.

But I just need a little bit of

Help before you go back to

Work.

Yeah.

[ smoke alarm beeps ]

You want a nap, little man?

Oh, he should go down easy.

Should be exhausted after all

The running around he's done

Today.

You gonna go to sleep?

Come on.

You were right.

You were right. He's knocked out.

He's knocked out.

[ smooches ]

Hey, cuz.

You all right, man?

I'm -- I'm fine.

Where's miranda and

Christian?

They're being checked out,

And they should be released any

Moment now.

Look, c.J., I got to thank you

For being here.

Mr. Payne?

Yes?

Your son has had a fair

Amount of smoke inhalation and

Has what's known as cerebral

Hypoxia.

Okay, so what does that mean?

He's lost oxygen to the

Brain, which is why he slipped

Into a coma.

Okay. So when he comes out of

The coma, he'll be fine.

Sometimes, it can be as

Simple as that.

That's all we ever hope for.

We'll keep monitoring and do

Everything we can.

Everything we can. [ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

Come on, little man.

Daddy needs you to respond, do

Something, okay?

Little man.

I got here as quickly as I

Could.

I tried to call aunt ella,

Uncle curtis.

I couldn't get them.

I'll keep trying.

Yeah, yeah.

How's he doing?

It's not good, janine.

I'm sorry.

Look, c.J., did -- did they

Tell you anything -- how the

Fire started or --

Yeah.

Little calvin was playing with

Matches in the bed, and, uh...

Fire spread pretty quickly, and

The investigators said that the

Smoke detector wasn't working.

Kind of the batteries.

How did you know?

I was supposed to change the

Batteries, and I didn't have

Time, and...Rushing to work.

I just saw him, c.J.

He was smiling.

I just bought him a-a baseball

Jersey so I could teach him how

To play, and now --

Listen, listen, listen.

It's gonna be okay.

It'll be all right, okay?

You just got to stay positive.

No. Miranda said that this

Was too much.

I should have been there.

Listen, blaming yourself

Isn't gonna help your son.

Okay, then what will?

What would help?

Because I will do whatever it

Takes to get my son out of that

Bed.

It's my child, c.J.

Yeah.

I'm supposed to be there for

Him.

Okay, but you can't be

Everywhere all the time, and you

Really shouldn't be even

Concentrating on that right now.

Yeah, man.

We're gonna get the little

Fellow up out of that bed and

Running around in no time, man.

We're gonna -- we're gonna be

Telling our grandkids about

This, man.

I need you to find my mom.

I need her to pray for me.

Okay.

Can you call my mom?

Can you call my mom? Yeah, yeah. I'm on it.

Yeah, yeah. I'm on it.

[ sighs ]

Listen, man...

Anything I can do for you?

No. I'm good, man.

You know, you probably -- you

Probably need to eat something,

You know, get your strength.

I'm -- I'm good, I'm good.

You sure? 'cause --

C.J., I said I'm good!

Okay. All right.

Just give me a minute.

All right.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. [ monitor beeping ]

[ monitor beeping ]

Well, that's cool.

That'll work.

Curtis, would you get off the

Phone?!

No, I can't do -- no, don't

Do that, don't do that.

Hey, what kind are you gonna

Get, then, if you can't get that

One?

Curtis, you've been on the

Phone for 45 minutes!

Hold on.

Baby, I'm talking to john and

Frank.

They're on the phone.

We're on three-way.

I know --

They're gonna help us get a

House.

They helped me get a house.

We'll talk about it.

Yeah, well, what kind is it?

Stucco?! Unh-unh.

I don't want to buy one of those

Stucco house.

Right. And -- and I don't

Want all brick.

Yeah!

Well, try to get us something

Nice, like -- like a brick

House.

I just said I don't want an

All brick house, baby.

Shh, shh!

That's ella talking.

Baby, I can't talk to four

People at one time!

John, I don't want brick!

That's ella talking about

Her mama used to be a brick

House.

And now she's a warehouse.

Curt!

Hey, hey, look here.

Just don't get that contractor.

Anything made by him -- that's

The same one that jacked up my

House when he came over here.

Give it here, give it here.

Frank, frank, john?

I'll call you back.

Frank, john, we don't want

Stucco, and we don't want brick.

Thank you. Yes.

Tell him I'll call him back.

He will call you back, yes.

Okay, bye.

That is so rude.

What?!

Curtis, you said we were gonna

Watch the game, so I'm prepared.

Phew. It's okay.

How about we compromise, then?

Okay. And get what?

You don't want stucco.

I don't want brick.

What's the compromise, baby?

Stone.

A stone house?

Yeah, get a stone-brick

House.

You are stoned out of your

Mind if you think --

Well, ain't stucco made from

Bricks and stones --

Curtis, please.

[ telephone rings ]

You play too much, and your

Friends play too much.

You're making this hard,

Ella.

You're making it hard.

Listen, we don't want stucco,

And we don't want brick, frank!

Hello!

Hey, janine.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait, wait, wait, janine!

What now?! What?!

Oh, my god!

Okay.

Oh, god. Okay.

Well, yes, he's right -- listen,

We are on our way.

[ stammers ]

Yes, we're on our way.

Okay, tell -- tell them.

Okay, bye-bye.

Oh, curtis. Come on.

We got to go to the hospital,

Baby.

Hospital?

Oh, god.

I mean, miranda had the baby.

Janine is clean.

Please, just stop it, baby.

There has been a fire at calvin

And miranda's house.

A f-- is calvin all right?

What's wrong?

I don't know, baby.

She said something about

Calvin jr. Got hurt.

I don't know, curtis.

We just need to go to the

Hospital right now, baby, okay?

Come on, come on, come on!

Something wrong with the

Baby?

I don't know, baby.

She just said it's bad!

Curtis, come on! We need to go!

Get your keys ready!

Come on, curtis!

The baby --

Oh, god!

The baby -- I can't --

Curtis, come on, honey!

I can't do the baby.

I don't know.

Curtis!

I don't want to see the baby.

What -- curtis!

No, I can't do the baby.

Baby, what are you doing?!

Curtis, why are you sitting

Down?!

We -- we need to go to the

Hospital right now.

There is an emergency there.

Or the burn unit.

Babies -- babies and fires.

Ella, you know, I can't do

Babies with fire.

Curtis, don't -- don't --

I can't, ella, and you know

That.

32 years, 32 years.

You know how many babies and

Fires I saw?

I can't see no more.

Curtis, please.

We don't even know how bad the

Baby is.

Curtis, please.

Those are my grandbabies,

Ella.

I don't want to see my

Grandbabies like that.

Now, you know that.

You know that.

Go to the hospital a-and call

Me and let me know what's --

Curt, don't do this.

If we see you strong, then we

Can be strong.

And if -- and if you break down,

Then we know we can break down!

I don't want them to see me

Like this!

We need to see you like this!

If you're strong or weak,

Curtis, it just does not matter!

More than anything, baby, I-I

Need you right now.

Please. These are my

Grandbabies, too, baby.

Come on.

Ella, just go.

Curtis!

Just go, please.

Get out of that chair and

Come with me right now!

Come with me right now! Curtis...

Curtis...

Now curtis.

Jesus!

Jesus! Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Got in touch with priscilla,

Uncle curtis.

They're on the way.

Yeah, yeah.

How is everything?

Not so good.

This is my fault.

If I would have been there, if

I would have changed the

Batteries, none of this would

Have happened.

Baby, don't do that.

No, it's true.

If c.J. Wouldn't have got

Everybody out, calvin jr.

Wouldn't even be here now.

C.J., thank you for being there.

Yeah. It's gonna be all

Right, man.

I believe I got little calvin

Out just in time.

Wait. You didn't get

Everybody out?

[ sighs ]

Miranda, uh, got little --

Little christian out just before

We got there.

Miranda, why didn't you get

Calvin jr., too, then?

Because I couldn't get to

Him.

What -- what do you mean you

Couldn't get to him?

It was a fire.

There was smoke everywhere!

Well, hell --

No, I bare-- no, I barely got

Out alive!

And the only reason that I had

Christian -- because he was

Right by my side.

I don't think you tried!

Don't you yell at me!

Come on.

Whoa, hey!

Calvin, it was -- it was pretty

Bad.

You don't think I tried?!

What do you mean I did not try?!

I didn't have a choice!

You didn't have a choice, so

You left calvin jr. In a burning

House?!

I know I didn't just hear

I know I didn't just hear That.

That.

So what happened?

Who in the hell is this

Clown?

He's my man, and like he

Asked you, calvin, what

Happened?

Oh, what?

All of a sudden, nobody knows

How to talk?

I asked you what happened!

The condo caught on fire!

And where were you, calvin?

I was working.

I am so sorry, tracie.

Please, save your "Sorry's"

'cause they don't mean a damn

Thing.

And I am not talking to you yet.

Don't talk to my wife like

That.

She's trying to apologize.

Apologize?!

What, is her apology gonna get

My son out that hospital bed?!

No. Neither will you hating

Me!

But you know what?

That makes me feel better.

Okay, hold on.

This is not about the two of

You!

Why are you talking?!

No, no!

It is about the child in there!

Why are you talking?!

No, you need to have some

Respect for my wife!

No, you better check that

Fake swag and get the bass out

Of your voice!

Who in the hell are you

Talking to?!

Who are you talking to?!

Shouldn't you be somewhere

Smoking crack?

Excuse me?!

Okay, okay.

And I'm talking to the

Person that was supposed to keep

My son alive!

It was an accident, tracie!

You almost let my baby die

In that fire, calvin!

What did I just say?

No. I'll tell you what the

Accident was.

The accident was meeting you.

You're right.

The worst two minutes in my

Life.

And I'm still suffering the

Consequences.

Calvin, when are you gonna stop

Ruining my life?

Okay, listen.

I know, tracie, everyone is

Emotional right now, so just --

Emotional?!

If by emotional you mean ready

To whoop someone's ass, then

You're right.

I'm very emotional.

You know, you look like the

Person that needs to meet my

Emotions, too!

Okay, okay.

Calm down, all right?

This is an emotional moment, and

Everybody -- everybody just

Needs to calm down, all right?

Come on, baby.

Take -- take a seat.

Take a deep breath.

Where is your baby, miranda?!

Oh, my god.

Hmm?!

Oh, so now you're talking to

Me?

Yes, I'm talking to you!

And I want you to answer my

Questions!

Why is it that your baby is

Breathing normally and my baby

Is over there in a coma?!

It was an accident, tracie.

Let me ask you another

Question --

Is my baby gonna die?

Don't talk like that!

You know, then fine, then,

Calvin!

Why don't she trade her son for

My son?!

Okay, enough, tracie!

This is hard on everyone!

Can you please stop being so

Irrational?

You left my baby in that fire

On purpose, didn't you?

I'm serious.

You just don't want to

Remember what it was like when

Calvin was in my bed.

Is that what it is?

If you really think that's

What happened, you are a

Psychopath.

So now you need to calm down

Before I do something that I

Regret.

Oh, please, I want you to!

That's exactly what I want you

To do!

Then I'll lay your ass in that

Hospital bed!

Hey.

Oh, thank god.

Hey, aunt ella.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Is everybody okay?

No! Everybody is not okay,

Ms. Ella!

She tried to kill my son, and

Your sorry-ass son is the worst

Thing god ever created.

I wasn't even home.

It was an accident!

Okay, wait a minute.

Now, we need to pray, you guys.

Come on.

You're right.

We do need to pray.

You better pray that that little

Boy gets up and walks out of

This hospital, 'cause I promise

You, if something happens to

That little boy, I will ruin

Every day of the rest of your

Life.

You think I've been acting evil?

Let something happen I can't

Take that little boy home and

Hold him tonight.

I promise you, you ain't even

Begin to see the devil in me.

I hate you.

[ voice breaking ] I hate you so

Much right now!

I hate you!

You all can see him now.

Okay.

No, you can't! No!

None of you can't, especially

You.

You. Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

His vitals are still very

Low, and I'm concerned at this

Point about brain swelling.

Okay, so what -- what can we

Do?

I'm afraid it's still a

Waiting game.

But if he doesn't improve

Within the next few hours, it

May be too late for a full

Recovery.

[ gasps ]

[ sobs ]

It's difficult news, I know,

But I want to be as candid as

Possible about his situation.

Okay, so -- so what happens

If he doesn't improve?

At this juncture, it may

Result in permanent brain

Damage.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

We are not gonna accept that.

Tracie, we are not gonna accept

That.

We're gonna pray. Come on.

[ voice breaking ] Nothing's

Gonna keep me from loving and

Praying for that little boy in

There.

You know, why are you even

Talking right now?

You'll be at home singing

Lullabies to your son tonight!

But me -- I'll be here alone,

Praying to god that those

Monitors keep beeping!

Don't talk to me!

Thank you, thank you.

What did he say?

He said we can get full

Custody.

Wait. What?

That's right.

He just got off the phone with

My lawyer, and we're getting

Full custody.

And I'm pushing for no

Visitation.

Why would you do that?

Because he's 2, calvin.

That's why.

Well, what does that mean?

Well, this is the age where

He starts remembering.

If I start now, then he will

Think you never existed.

Why would you do this?!

You will never know your son,

Calvin.

You can't keep me away from

My son.

Oh, I'm getting a restraining

Order.

Calvin, you're an unfit parent!

[ clears throat ]

Why do you have so much hate

In you?!

Because I can!

Okay?! Because you make me!

Because I wish you were dead,

And you're standing in my face

Right now!

You, your wife, your whole

Family --

Enough of this!

Enough of this!

Enough of this.

Now, that baby is laying in

There, fighting for his life,

And you two are out here, acting

Like you don't have any sense!

What is it gonna take?!

For him to die before you two

Get it?!

I'm so sick of you young people

Just racking around, laying

Around, having sex with this one

And having sex with that one,

Not really understanding that

There are consequences to having

Sex!

And there are consequences!

You could actually have a baby

With somebody you don't want to

Be tied to for the rest of your

Life!

And hear me.

Children don't ask to be born to

The parents that they're born

To.

To.

Ain't his fault.

It ain't his fault that you two

Are standing out here, acting

Like some fools!

You need to grow up and get some

You need to grow up and get some Sense from somewhere!

Sense from somewhere!

You used to love each other.

You used to love each other.

Now you just can't even stand to

Be in the same room together!

What is that?!

Well, listen, whatever it was,

When you two were together, that

Got you guys together, you

Better think on those things,

Honey, for the rest of that

Baby's life, and cut this

Foolishness out.

I bind it in the name of jesus

That we'll be peace in this

Room.

Now get in there and see about

This baby!

Get in there -- not you two!

Get in there -- not you two! You two. Get in there.

You two. Get in there.

There will be peace in this

Place while healing is going on

In that place.

No, baby, I'm good.

I love you, jesus.

I love you, god.

I love you, lord.

Aah! God, I love you.

God, help us. I love you, god.

We won't leave you today.

How I trust you today, god.

How I trust you today.

I just love you.

And I just trust you.

Oh, god!

Do it!

Do it.

Do it. Do it, god.

Do it, god.

[ monitor beeping ]

[ monitor beeping ] Tracie, my mom was right.

Tracie, my mom was right.

Yeah, I know.

I would never do anything to

Hurt my son.

You know that.

Yeah. I know that.

[ sobs ] I'm just so mad!

I don't know who to be mad at!

Okay, be mad at me.

I don't care.

I don't care. Like -- oh!

Like -- oh!

Like -- oh! I know you love him, okay?

I know you love him, okay?

And I'm not gonna push for full

Custody.

Custody. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. [ sobs ]

[ sobs ]

He's moving, calvin!

He's moving!

What?

Doctor!

Doctor!
