[music]

Come on, Dad, I'm super responsible.

No, no, no, no, and no.

Son, I just got the car.

Can I please enjoy it first before you start driving it?

Think about how cool I'll look driving to Spirit Night tonight.

I mean, nobody else's dad has this car.

Come on, just for this one Saturday.

Nobody else's dad has it, huh?

Nobody's dad but mine.

I mean, look, you'd be the coolest dad in the school.

No.

Wait, wait, wait, come on, look, look, look.

I won't ask for anything for the rest of the year.

You said that last month when we bought you those $200 sneakers.

You still got 11 months left on that promise.

Okay, you got me there.

Look, I won't ask for anything all of next year.

You promise to cut the grass every Saturday morning?

Before you even wake up, and I'll wash the car and truck.

Okay, I'm gonna let you use the car tonight and tonight only.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're the best dad ever!

I love you, man! Love you.

[music]

What man you dodgin' this morning?

My agent.

I wish it was a man.

Oh, well maybe she has some good news for you.

I doubt it.

What's wrong? I've never seen you this down.

My last hope to be Hollywood royalty died last night when

Darrell Dennis III married one of my rivals, Joanne Vessell.

Now she'll get all of the leading roles.

Maybe my acting flame has finally faded and I'm gonna

end up knitting blankets and married to-- ugh-- Vinny.

Girl, you've killed more husbands than Black Widow.

I decline that proposal.

And you'd make a nice insurance claim.

Not if I get you first.

I'd name a boat after you.

The fact of the matter is, is you woke up this morning

and God still has a plan for your life.

Maybe He's divorcing me, too.

You're still mad about Joanne marrying Darrell Dennis

-last night? -It should have been me.

Well, you know what? How about we just have a cup of coffee

and sit down and talk about it.

I'd rather have scotch.

I am officially retiring from acting as of today.

It's been a nice ride.

She's so dramatic.

Well, I'ma have a cup of coffee.

She got scotch-- I'm goin' with her.

[music]

I can't believe you let Philip drive that car.

Chuh, bruh, you?

Know what, though, we gotta start trusting him.

Yeah, you're right.

[laughing]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Yeah, this is Jeremy Washington.

Yes.

Yes, ma'am.

He did what?

Okay, he's all right, right?

Okay.

All right, we're on our way.

Philip got into a car accident.

-What? -He's all right.

-No baby, what? -He's all right.

Okay, come on, let's go.

[music]

Oh, my gosh. What?

We're so lucky that you're okay,

but that could have been so much worse.

Yeah, you could have been really hurt.

Look, I'll do your chores for the week so you can just relax,

okay?

Glad you're okay, kiddo.

So now that you're home and okay, um--

what happened again?

So I was driving, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped.

So I turned to avoid hitting the car and, um--

I crashed into a tree.

Okay, and were you driving fast?

I was not driving too fast.

Were you playing music loud?

I didn't think I was playing music too loud.

Philip, I tell you to turn the radio down all the time.

Were you playing music loud or not?

Look, Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.

Dad, I'm sorry I totaled your sports car.

I let you down and I let myself down.

It's 100 percent my fault.

I should have been paying more attention to the road.

Yeah, 'cause you know, one mistake and you can hurt

a whole lot of people, son, all right?

Now, I'm glad that you're okay.

I'm definitely disappointed in you right now.

Go to your room, Philip.

[moaning]

Honey--

[bawling]

It's okay, it's okay.

Man, I don't care about him.

I've been saving 10 years to get that car.

Now she's gone.

Oh, my god, I'm gonna call the insurance company.

Maybe I can get another one.

[phone buzzing]

Helena's mom.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Yes, Jeremy and I were just--

say now what say what now?

Uh-huh.

He did what?

Are you sure?

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

Is Helena okay?

Okay, thank you for calling.

All right.

What happened?

Helena told her mom that it was Philip's fault.

He was driving fast, listening to loud music,

and he was on his phone.

Jeremy, that-- mmm, that boy.

[music]

Ooh, look at that, girl.

That was my first leading role.

Look at my legs.

[Cora] Wow.

I need those back.

Whoo, oh, that's the movie that you was with that tall, handsome

Shaq Herring, right?

Yup.

He almost became my second husband.

What!

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait.

What happened?

He knew that he was pretty, too.

He was attracted more to himself than to me.

Stayed in the mirror.

Used more potions and lotions and hair gel

than the law allowed.

Oh my goodness, I guess all the good days are behind me now.

Your best days are yet to come.

God said your latter days will be greater than your

former days.

But you gotta believe it, now.

You still mad Joanne stole your man?

I'm over it.

I'm just trying to figure out the next chapter.

Come on, girl, you can't quit acting now.

It's the only thing you've been successful at.

Vinny, that is so mean.

You know you love acting.

Come on, that's all I'm saying.

I know in your heart acting is in there, and you love it.

Just like Vinny said, you love it.

And you're amazing at it.

I am, but the competition pool is so much more saturated.

You're the only competition.

I need a youth potion.

Come on, Miss Anastasia.

As long as you got a chip and a chair,

you got a chance, okay?

I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

It's a poker reference, which means,

as long as you in the game, you gotta keep playing.

You can't stop now.

You got some wisdom in there, finally.

I have my moments.

And Vinny, I'm gonna take your advice.

That's okay.

I'm gonna call my agent back and see what she wants.

That's good. I'm about to get ready

to head down to the church. I'ma be praying for you, okay?

Thank you.

You know what? Pray for me, too, Christian.

What do you need prayer for, Vinny?

My weed stock and my crypto currency.

You know, a brother could use a divine intervention.

If you get to know Him, you can pray to him for yourself.

Ooh, Christian.

I'm gonna check on my portfolio.

Good luck on your call, okay?

Thanks, Vinny.

Hey, it's me.

I know, I'm sorry.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Really?

Yes, I'm definitely interested.

I'll get it to you by tomorrow.

No, I won't miss any more of your calls.

Love you, too.

Good news, I take it? Huh?

I have an audition for a major Hollywood production.

It films for three weeks on a coast in Hawaii.

Now that would be a slap in Joanne's face.

Tell you what, if you get the part, take me with you.

I'll slap Joanne for you, how 'bout that?

[music]

Yeah, thank you.

Yep, yep, thanks again for the call.

All right, bye-bye.

I'm gonna kill him.

What did you find out?

One of the boys that was in the car with Philip,

he said it was 100% his fault.

He was blasting music and he was speeding.

It's all anybody is talking about on the school chat room.

How dumb it was.

I mean, this is so embarrassing.

All my friends keep making jokes about him.

The insurance company is going to double our rates.

[phone buzzing]

Hello.

This is she.

I'm so sorry, this is so out of character for him.

But it won't happen again.

Okay, thank you.

Who the hell was that?

The school principal.

They saw footage of what happened

and are suspending Philip.

That's just fantastic.

What the hell is going on?

Do I need to get my pistol?

Who we 'bout to roll up on?

What happened?

Philip-- the car accident was all his fault.

He was driving too fast and playing loud music.

Did you get one of them switches from the back yard,

one that's got a lot of elasticity in it?

One that will hold up to the duration of the ass-whoopin'?

He needs to know how serious this is, how much danger

he truly put himself and other people in.

What he needs is some hands on that behind.

You know what?

Maybe you're right.

[Vinny] I know I'm right.

I think it's time for a little bit of tough love.

Uh-uh. Nope, you come right back here.

So why is it that it's hours later and I'm still getting more

and more information about what happened with my car?

How could you do this? You're, you're smarter than that.

Philip, you put your life in jeopardy.

I can't believe you.

I don't know what you were thinking.

I'm sorry, I just--

Hey, I don't wanna hear it.

You got the school calling my phone.

These kids' parents calling my phone.

All because of the mistake that you made.

Mom, Dad, I'll say it again, I'm sorry.

I know I already said it, it's 100 percent my fault.

I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt.

I just--

You just wanted to be cool?

To impress people who are probably laughing at you

right now, son.

Your father worked really hard to get that car

and lost it because of your mistakes.

The school, the school just called.

You're suspended for driving reckless around students.

I'm going to excuse myself.

It's going to be a very long time

before I can trust you again.

Give me-- give me your phone.

[Leah] Mm-hmm.

And your video game.

And your laptop and your headphones.

And your skateboard and your bike.

Anything that brings you joy, bring it to us.

That's a little harsh.

Philip, you lucky.

Back in the day, my daddy woulda beat me with any object possible

'til he couldn't lift his arms no more.

Come on, Philip, you're better than that, man.

[Anastasia] What's going on here?

Go ahead, Philip, tell her what happened.

I was driving, and--

My brand-new sports car and he crashed it.

I just wanted to--

To, to, to, to get suspended, to raise our insurance rate,

to play loud music, to drive too fast.

Call Cora, 'cause I need prayer.

What?

You, Philip?

Please tell me this isn't true.

It is.

For the first time, everybody at school was looking at me

like I was the big man on campus.

And it went straight to my head.

If the only reason they were looking up to you

was because of something materialistic,

then you are attracting the wrong crowd to begin with.

And I bet they turned on you really quickly, didn't they?

Yes, ma'am.

I know how carefully you drive me to every place

that I need to go.

And I know how you follow all the rules.

So that means that you made a conscious decision

to break them.

Look where it got you.

[music]

Okay, great.

I'll be looking out for it.

Okay, thanks so much, bye-bye.

Ooh, you look like a new person.

I feel like a new person.

Just doing the audition made me feel alive again.

You know, it's a small chance that I'll get it because

it's a huge film, but it felt good just to try.

I don't think there's a better person than you.

If they're smart, they'll give you the part.

Oh, thank you, Cora.

And I'm gonna take life one day at a time and enjoy every moment

of my life that I have left.

And guess what?

I have a few auditions lined up back-to-back.

Yes, that's amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

[phone buzzing]

Oh.

[phone buzzing]

Hey, girl.

What?

What?

How much?

I can't believe they decided already.

Oh, yes, please.

Just email me the script

and I'll start getting prepared tonight.

Thank you so much, thank you!

Oh my god, I got the part!

Oh yes, oh yes, that's so good!

I knew God would make a way with his will.

My god, Vinny, I got the part!

I got the part.

See, I knew we were put together for some reason, girl.

What are you talking about, Vinny?

I'm talking about don't act like you ain't feeling

what I'm feeling, 'cause I'm feeling it.

You do not have a shot at this.

Especially now that I'm back, baby.

Oh, congratulations again!

Well, I'ma go pick up Mr. Brown and give him the good news.

All right, congratulations.

Thank you for your prayers.

You're welcome. I'll be praying for you, Vinny.

I'll pray for you, too, Christian.

Vinny, you are praying for somebody?

I'm shocked.

You gonna need prayer, too, if you start with me tonight, Efe.

I love you, Vinny.

I love you too, Efe.

Anastasia, what has created this amazing smile on your face

today?

I just landed a role in a major production.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Do they have a part for a sexual chocolate, handsome, young

African man such as myself?

No, they lookin' for somebody more like me.

If I hear of anything, Efe, I will definitely let you know.

Okay, because you know, I played the lead in a

Harriet Tubman play in middle school.

You know, come to think of it, you do look like Harriet Tubman.

You-- you would not have survived

the Underground Railroad.

Congratulations, baby!

Oh, thank you, honey.

[music]

I still can't believe it.

We need to take away his soap or something,

so he can't take a bath for a week.

I think he may actually like that, though.

You're probably right.

We need to come up with more ways to punish him,

something good.

Yeah, you're right.

Mr. Efe, any ideas?

Sure.

Encourage him.

Huh?

Encourage him.

Where I'm from, it is called a good mistake.

Good mistake?

He just totaled my brand-new sports car.

That's a bad mistake.

Would you rather that he made the mistake at 27,

or learned the lesson at 16?

At 27, because that's probably gonna be his car, not mine.

He's the type that learns his lessons

and doesn't make the mistake again.

In fact, young Philip would be considered a future tribe leader

where I'm from.

What would make him a future tribe leader?

He feels remorse and he admitted to his mistake,

which means he's honorable.

Therefore, he should be forgiven swiftly

and allowed to redeem himself.

You ever done anything like this when you were young?

Many times.

In fact, there was this one time,

I stole five dollars from my father's wallet

when I was a teenager in order to buy

an outfit and some shoes.

How much was five dollars worth in your day?

How old are you again?

My age doesn't matter, I'm ageless.

What did he do to punish you?

Yeah, because I wish somebody would steal my money,

because that will be last dime you ever get.

Know what I'm saying?

I'm putting a roof over your head and clothes on your back?

Please, I wish-- I wish.

I mean, these teenagers are insane.

Yeah, I guess it's never gonna change.

Mr. Efe, what did he do to punish you?

He gave me ten dollars.

Wait, so he bought you two outfits.

After that, I was never afraid to ask for anything.

You see, even though I made the mistake,

he responded with compassion.

That was the first and last time I ever stole anything.

We have a saying.

When you discipline a child with your right hand,

you bring them closer with the left.

Hmmm.

Teenagers make mistakes while young.

But the most important thing is that you learn

from those mistakes.

You can not take one wrong and wipe away a thousand rights.

That's interesting.

So what do you suggest we do?

Give him the keys to a second car.

But if he makes it again, then he's a fool.

But for now, give him the keys to your second car.

That was some pretty good advice.

I forgive him, I just want him to know he's wrong.

Yeah, I think he gets the message now.

I think I'm gonna give him his phone back.

I'll give him his laptop.

I love you, Mommy.

I love you, Daddy.

We got this.

Yes, we do.

But Jeremy, if he does it again, I'm taking him out.

Oh please, you'll have to go through me.

I'm gonna beat him with all body shots.

[music]

Are you ready to go, sir?

Ready to go where?

Today is my first day of film rehearsals

and you're my driver, aren't you?

I don't think my dad will let me.

Take these.

Really, Dad?

Wait, these are the keys to Christina.

Yep.

Take Miss Anastasia to rehearsal.

Thank you, Dad, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Are you for real?

I promise I'll take great care of her.

I know you will.

Miss Anastasia, I can take you.

I can take you in Christina.

And what's Christina?

1986 Pontiac Grand Prix.

She's perfect.

Thank you so much, Dad.

Come on, handsome driver, and grab a lady's bags.

[doorbell rings]

I'm really good at this father thing.
