00:00:08,793 --> 00:00:12,379
- Hi, yes, I am just calling
to see if C.J. Payne

2
00:00:12,482 --> 00:00:15,965
is still in--yes, chief--
yes, that's it.

3
00:00:16,068 --> 00:00:17,793
Is he still in your unit?

4
00:00:19,689 --> 00:00:22,448
Oh, he's been transferred
to the tenth floor?

5
00:00:22,551 --> 00:00:25,241
Okay, well, ma'am, please,
can you transfer me

6
00:00:25,344 --> 00:00:28,310
to the tenth floor?

7
00:00:28,413 --> 00:00:29,586
You can't?

8
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:31,068
Okay, thank you.

9
00:00:31,172 --> 00:00:33,068
They can't transfer me
to the tenth floor!

10
00:00:33,172 --> 00:00:34,724
- The tenth floor!

11
00:00:34,827 --> 00:00:36,413
- What's on the tenth floor?

12
00:00:36,517 --> 00:00:38,724
- He's alive!
- ELLA: Yes!

13
00:00:38,827 --> 00:00:40,206
Come on, come on,
come on, come on!

14
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:42,000
- Oh, this is bad, baby.

15
00:00:42,103 --> 00:00:43,931
- Please don't tell me
he in the burn unit.

16
00:00:44,034 --> 00:00:46,068
- Oh, no, no, that's
the first place I looked.

17
00:00:46,172 --> 00:00:48,413
See, one of my boys
a custodian over there.

18
00:00:48,517 --> 00:00:50,551
- Did you see him?

19
00:00:50,655 --> 00:00:52,586
- No, I didn't see him.

20
00:00:52,689 --> 00:00:54,827
But I'll see him next week when
he picks up his catering order.

21
00:00:56,275 --> 00:01:00,379
- C.J. Curtis, did you see C.J.
in the burn unit?

22
00:01:00,482 --> 00:01:01,689
- No, baby, he wasn't there.

23
00:01:01,793 --> 00:01:02,965
- Is he in the ICU?

24
00:01:03,068 --> 00:01:04,413
I mean, we need to get
over there.

25
00:01:04,517 --> 00:01:06,482
- That's the second place
I looked.

26
00:01:06,586 --> 00:01:09,689
One of my classmates is
a surgeon over in ER.

27
00:01:09,793 --> 00:01:11,172
- And did you talk to him?

28
00:01:11,275 --> 00:01:13,689
- Did I talk to her?

29
00:01:13,793 --> 00:01:17,034
I know, it sounds crazy,
but women can be surgeons too.

30
00:01:17,137 --> 00:01:18,827
Don't be sexist, baby.

31
00:01:19,931 --> 00:01:21,275
- Curtis!

32
00:01:21,379 --> 00:01:23,896
Have you seen my C.J.?

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,172
- No, baby, he wasn't there.

34
00:01:25,275 --> 00:01:26,896
- Were you at the right
hospital?

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,068
- He's not at the hospital.
- Curtis!

36
00:01:29,172 --> 00:01:31,827
We want to know about
the fire!

37
00:01:31,931 --> 00:01:34,724
- Okay, baby, well, one of
the firefighters got hurt

38
00:01:34,827 --> 00:01:36,172
pretty bad.

39
00:01:36,275 --> 00:01:37,620
But I'll tell you what,

40
00:01:37,724 --> 00:01:39,862
C.J.'s gonna be a hero
in all this.

41
00:01:39,965 --> 00:01:40,965
- How?

42
00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:42,310
- Everybody was leaving
the building,

43
00:01:42,413 --> 00:01:44,172
he went back inside.
- Oh God.

44
00:01:44,275 --> 00:01:47,068
- And saved a guy.
- Oh.

45
00:01:47,172 --> 00:01:48,724
- And he didn't have to
go back in there.

46
00:01:48,827 --> 00:01:50,000
- That's it.

47
00:01:50,103 --> 00:01:52,896
This is the last firefighter
in this family.

48
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,137
I cannot do this
anymore.

49
00:01:55,241 --> 00:01:56,586
- Ella.
- Curtis.

50
00:01:56,689 --> 00:01:59,241
- Come on, baby, now you
know what this is.

51
00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:01,620
We Payne men.
This is what Payne men do.

52
00:02:03,413 --> 00:02:05,758
Now if you don't mind,
I gotta go to the restroom.

Not right now. I'm good.

- Okay, sit down.
- Careful.

76
00:03:17,448 --> 00:03:18,586
Get the pillow.
- Sit down.

Jump in the water, son.

This could have gone

- C.J., what is all
of this?

00:04:03,379 --> 00:04:05,172
Did you hurt your head?

98
00:04:05,275 --> 00:04:08,724
- Doc--Doc says I sprained
my neck and my back,

99
00:04:08,827 --> 00:04:12,862
but I'll be okay, but, uh,
I--I'm in a little shock,

100
00:04:12,965 --> 00:04:16,827
and my adrenaline
is running like crazy right now.

102

he needs pain meds and rest,

he gets a lot of it.

- Yes.

you gotta get ready for your
barbecue tour, man, so--

about that.

I'm not leaving you

Don't worry, I already

What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
go back to the house,

110
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:38,827
and I'm gonna get you
some home remedies, okay?

do you have for back pain?

Malik, do you have
everything?

All your dad's favorite snacks?
Favorite foods?

- Uh, yeah, I think
we're good.

your help, so thank you, really.

who got hit by a hearse on a way
to a funeral.

She had no legs.

to describe a Black family
in the South

193

from them, but not my own man.

315
00:14:12,724 --> 00:14:15,172
- Hey, look.

316
00:14:15,275 --> 00:14:18,551
I can appeal, right?
- Yeah, of course you can.

317
00:14:18,655 --> 00:14:20,413
Burger appealed his termination.

318
00:14:21,965 --> 00:14:26,068
- Burger got fired.
- And lost his severance.

319
00:14:26,172 --> 00:14:31,689
- C.J., did the city say
why you're being investigated?

320
00:14:31,793 --> 00:14:34,137
- No, they just said something
about, uh,

321
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:37,724
department protocol and
procedure.

322
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:40,793
- Get out of there!

323
00:14:40,896 --> 00:14:42,724
- I didn't do anything wrong.

324
00:14:42,827 --> 00:14:45,896
- Except play Superman
without a cape.

325
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,137
- Every man in that company
would have done the same for me.

326
00:14:49,241 --> 00:14:52,137
I hired Andre, so I'm
responsible for him.

327
00:14:52,241 --> 00:14:56,586
I want to make sure that he gets
home to his family every night.

328
00:14:56,689 --> 00:14:59,310
- I wouldn't have done that
for Andre.

329
00:14:59,413 --> 00:15:01,793
- C.J., who's gonna come in here
and take care of your family

330
00:15:01,896 --> 00:15:03,206
when you don't come home?

331
00:15:03,310 --> 00:15:06,379
Who's gonna live in your house?
- Ooh.

332
00:15:08,275 --> 00:15:09,689
- Put your hand down.
- Put your hand down,

333
00:15:09,793 --> 00:15:11,310
Uncle Curtis.

334
00:15:11,413 --> 00:15:14,172
- I'm just saying, why trust
a stranger?

335
00:15:14,275 --> 00:15:16,931
Might as well will it
to family.

336
00:15:17,034 --> 00:15:20,275
I am in your will, right?

337
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:21,620
- ELLA: C.J.

338
00:15:21,724 --> 00:15:24,103
Curtis said that these
review boards

339
00:15:24,206 --> 00:15:29,344
almost never work out for
the person being investigated.

340
00:15:29,448 --> 00:15:32,655
- Well, I'll let you know
when I walk out of there,

341
00:15:32,758 --> 00:15:34,586
cleared, with my head
held high.

342
00:15:34,689 --> 00:15:36,482
- Or on the chopping block.

343
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:42,965
- "Good morrow, my lady.

344
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:47,448
"Reputation is an idle

345
00:15:47,551 --> 00:15:50,896
"and a more false imposition,

346
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
oft go without merit and
lost without deserving."

347
00:15:57,827 --> 00:15:59,758
- Don't be coming out here
trying to make up.

348
00:15:59,862 --> 00:16:01,620
That ain't even
"Romeo and Juliet."

349
00:16:01,724 --> 00:16:04,241
- [laughs]

350
00:16:04,344 --> 00:16:05,206
I know it's not.

351
00:16:05,310 --> 00:16:06,896
It's "Othello."
- "Othello."

352
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,586
- I performed it when I was
in elementary school.

353
00:16:08,689 --> 00:16:13,000
- Okay, I didn't really take
you as like the "Othello" type.

354
00:16:13,103 --> 00:16:15,275
- What does that mean?
- I don't know.

355
00:16:15,379 --> 00:16:20,103
It just--Othello is more like
a James Earl Jones.

356
00:16:20,206 --> 00:16:24,758
Or like a LeBron James or...

357
00:16:24,862 --> 00:16:26,413
a Barack.

358
00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:30,517
- I could be all of those
dudes.

359
00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:33,172
Besides from LeBron.

360
00:16:33,275 --> 00:16:37,068
- Yeah, 'cause he has like
multiple championship drip.

361
00:16:37,172 --> 00:16:39,896
- So now the judged is becoming
a judge.

362
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,517
- I'm not judging you.
- No, that's exactly

363
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:43,068
what you're doing.

364
00:16:43,172 --> 00:16:46,172
You were just doing what you
got mad at me for doing earlier.

365
00:16:46,275 --> 00:16:48,310
- Babe, no, I'm not.
- Yes, it is.

366
00:16:48,413 --> 00:16:51,137
You literally told me that I
couldn't be LeBron.

367
00:16:51,241 --> 00:16:55,068
- No, I said LeBron is more
like Othello than you are.

368
00:16:55,172 --> 00:16:56,965
- I can absolutely be Othello.

369
00:16:57,068 --> 00:16:58,758
I was Othello.

370
00:16:58,862 --> 00:17:01,724
And I Othello-ed the hell
out of "Othello."

371
00:17:01,827 --> 00:17:03,241
- Okay, now you're talking
crazy.

372
00:17:03,344 --> 00:17:05,413
- [laughs] No, what's crazy
is that we're arguing about

373
00:17:05,517 --> 00:17:11,344
Shakespeare with my baby mama
who was a dancer. [laughs]

374
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:13,620
It's crazy, but it's one
of the things

375
00:17:13,724 --> 00:17:15,275
that I love about you the most.

376
00:17:15,379 --> 00:17:17,172
- Don't try to hustle
a hustler.

377
00:17:17,275 --> 00:17:19,310
- [laughs] Look, it's no hustle.

378
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:22,862
There's no shade.
It's just all facts.

379
00:17:22,965 --> 00:17:25,724
Lisa, you take chances.

380
00:17:25,827 --> 00:17:28,137
You know how to survive.
- Mm.

381
00:17:28,241 --> 00:17:30,517
- Me, on the other hand,
I normally like to play it safe

382
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:32,275
and do what's comfortable.

383
00:17:32,379 --> 00:17:34,689
- And that's what I love
about you.

384
00:17:34,793 --> 00:17:37,827
You're grounded
and stable.

385
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:39,344
You're normal.

386
00:17:39,448 --> 00:17:42,275
- That don't sound like
a compliment.

387
00:17:42,379 --> 00:17:43,896
- Ain't nothing wrong with
normal.

388
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,034
I mean, I want that in my life.

389
00:17:46,137 --> 00:17:47,931
I've never been with anybody
like you.

390
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:51,448
- No, see, that's a real
compliment.

391
00:17:51,551 --> 00:17:56,965
- "This above all,
to thine own self be true."

392
00:17:57,068 --> 00:18:01,241
- "For she had eyes
and chose me."

393
00:18:01,344 --> 00:18:04,655
- I sure did.
And I'd do it again.

394
00:18:04,758 --> 00:18:06,482
- ♪

395
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:11,275
- Okay, I have filled out all
of your workers' comp paperwork.

396
00:18:11,379 --> 00:18:14,379
However, I do need you to
just sign right there--

397
00:18:14,482 --> 00:18:16,034
- Oh.
- --for me, please.

398
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:19,586
And your confirmation should
be in your email.

399
00:18:19,689 --> 00:18:21,034
- Oh, that is great.

400
00:18:21,137 --> 00:18:23,103
I really appreciate that.

401
00:18:23,206 --> 00:18:24,896
I don't know what I would
do without you.

402
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,655
You guys are being
so helpful.

403
00:18:26,758 --> 00:18:29,000
- Oh, you'd be dead.
[laughs]

404
00:18:29,103 --> 00:18:32,931
- Wow. Can't wait to get
rid of me, huh?

405
00:18:33,034 --> 00:18:35,275
- Oh, no, no, no,
you know we're just kidding.

406
00:18:35,379 --> 00:18:40,241
I would give you a kidney
if you needed it.

407
00:18:40,344 --> 00:18:42,724
You don't need a kidney,
do you?

408
00:18:42,827 --> 00:18:44,344
- [laughs]

409
00:18:44,448 --> 00:18:47,620
If there is one thing that
I have learned from this family

410
00:18:47,724 --> 00:18:51,241
is that we always help
each other in a time of need.

411
00:18:51,344 --> 00:18:55,137
Oh, and how to make
a bomb snickerdoodle. Mm.

412
00:18:56,517 --> 00:18:57,827
- Pot roast.

413
00:18:57,931 --> 00:19:00,689
- I hate to be the old man
in the bed

414
00:19:00,793 --> 00:19:03,206
ringing the dinner bell,
but y'all are making me hungry.

415
00:19:05,068 --> 00:19:07,241
- Well, C.J., I'll make you
a snack if you want something.

416
00:19:07,344 --> 00:19:09,172
What would you like?

417
00:19:09,275 --> 00:19:11,034
- Anything that will help me
get my strength back.

418
00:19:11,137 --> 00:19:14,275
I wanna be able to get up,
walk into that meeting

419
00:19:14,379 --> 00:19:17,137
with my head held high,
state my case,

420
00:19:17,241 --> 00:19:20,758
and get my name cleared.
- C.J.

421
00:19:20,862 --> 00:19:25,275
I would be lying if I said
I was not worried about you...

422
00:19:25,379 --> 00:19:26,862
going into that meeting.

423
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:29,137
- Why? I got a stellar
record,

424
00:19:29,241 --> 00:19:30,689
and I didn't do anything wrong.

425
00:19:30,793 --> 00:19:32,586
- This is different, C.J.

426
00:19:32,689 --> 00:19:34,413
You're gonna have to do
what I learned

427
00:19:34,517 --> 00:19:38,724
going through this divorce.
- Don't use DIY legal services

428
00:19:38,827 --> 00:19:42,620
for a prenup?
- [laughs]

429
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:44,103
No.

430
00:19:46,344 --> 00:19:50,517
You just--you have to learn
what you can control.

431
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:53,827
And what you can't control,
you just have to surrender to it

432
00:19:53,931 --> 00:19:56,517
and just keep moving forward.

433
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:58,137
- That's good advice.

434
00:19:58,241 --> 00:19:59,862
- You know, like you say,
Miss Ella.

435
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:01,448
May God's will be done.

436
00:20:01,551 --> 00:20:04,413
Sometimes, all you can do
is pray about it.

437
00:20:04,517 --> 00:20:06,137
- Amen.

438
00:20:09,827 --> 00:20:12,275
- Romeo. Hey, yo, Romeo!
- [laughs]

439
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:14,517
- What's up, Juliet?
I'm right here.

440
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:16,724
- That ain't how that go.

441
00:20:16,827 --> 00:20:18,758
- Well, sometimes you have to
rewrite history

442
00:20:18,862 --> 00:20:20,448
so you have a better future.

443
00:20:20,551 --> 00:20:22,931
- So you don't mind my past,
and my flaws,

444
00:20:23,034 --> 00:20:25,724
and my scars, Othello?

445
00:20:25,827 --> 00:20:28,517
- As long as you don't mind
my snoring and passing gas

446
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:31,172
in the middle of the night,
Desdemona.

447
00:20:31,275 --> 00:20:33,103
- Hell yeah, I do.

448
00:20:33,206 --> 00:20:36,275
You gotta stop doing all that.

449
00:20:36,379 --> 00:20:40,310
- Well, I will truly
work on that, my love.

450
00:20:40,413 --> 00:20:41,551
- I do.

451
00:20:41,655 --> 00:20:44,379
- Oh, but--baby, this not--
this not the time.

452
00:20:44,482 --> 00:20:47,000
I thought we was--I thought
we was playing.

453
00:20:47,103 --> 00:20:48,620
- Why would I play like that?
- Okay, but we--

454
00:20:48,724 --> 00:20:51,655
we could work on that.
We can work on that.

455
00:20:51,758 --> 00:20:53,310
- Why would I play like that?
Like that's dumb.

456
00:20:53,413 --> 00:20:55,068
Why would I play about that?
- Well, that's--

457
00:20:55,172 --> 00:20:57,793
- I love you.
- I love you, too, but--

458
00:20:57,896 --> 00:20:59,034
that's a part of the role play.

459
00:20:59,137 --> 00:21:00,827
I thought--
