Albert Einstein
once said we can't solve our

problems with the same
thinking that created them.

We have to expand our
world to learn new things.

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

because my environment
didn't make me.

My choices did.

And I take responsibility
for every single one of them,

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

Hello.

Baby.

Hello.

I'm gonna hang
up and call you right back.

Babe.

Baby?

Hello.

They're about
to take Kevin in to surgery.

Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

They're taking him
into surgery right now?

Yeah, but.

I don't want you to come by yet.

What,
what are they saying?

They're
saying one of the bullets

is still lodged in him.

Oh.

He has, he has a
bullet lodged in him.

Yeah, they're
saying two guys drove up

next to him at a light
and started shooting.

Babe,
can you call me back

as soon as he gets
out of surgery?

Okay.
He may be.

Okay.
All right, I love you.

I love you too.

What's going on?

She said two people

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

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

and got shot twice.

So what you gonna do?

What you mean,
what am I gonna do-

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

They done shot your homeboy.

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

Let God deal with it?

I'm tired of you
and this praying.

You pray, pray,
pray, and you broke.

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

You praying, and your
homeboy in critical condition,

right now.

Have you forgot where we from?

Huh?

We don't pray.

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

So what you gonna do?

Nah.

What happened?

Well, you know Jonah Smith?

Yeah, from church.

Yeah, he came into the ER

last Tuesday with
cardiac arrest.

You're kidding.

Who is Jonah Smith?

Yes, you do know him.

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

His kids are in
Sabrina's class.

Oh my gosh, yes.

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

He didn't make it.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

That conversation, not
one of my better moments.

I'm sure.

Such a preventable disease.

Nice sneakers, Marquise.

Thanks, I got 'em
for my birthday.

Hmm, are they water resistant?

Hey.

So, can I play?

I don't know if I should,

you was about to pour
water on my new sneakers.

I was just joking.

Please.

Here.

You have to show
me how to play.

So therefore take up
the whole armor of God

And you will be able to
withstand the evil today,

and having done,
all to stand firm.

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

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

Hey. You just got me killed.

You don't need
these things anyway,

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

Would you do us the
honor of blessing the food?

I'd love to.

All right.

Everyone bow your heads.

Dear Lord, thank
you for this meal

that we are about to receive.

I ask that you watch
over our children,

and protect them as they
go out into the world,

at school, or otherwise.

In your name I pray, amen.

Amen, amen.

Can somebody please pass
me that bread on down here?

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

Patience is a virtue Pastor

It's coming, it's coming.

There we go.

Would you like some, sister?

That's okay, I'm good.

Okay, yes love,
thank you very much.

That's what I
want right there.

Thank you, yes.

It's time to get to work.

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just feeling a
little lightheaded.

Baby, can you get me
some water please?

Are you good?

I just need some water.

Easy, easy.

Better?

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

if you'll excuse me.

No, I'm good.

I'll, I'll be right back.

Okay.

Oh, Sabrina!

Call 911!

Sister Williams,
are you okay, Sister Williams?

Oh my god.

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

Sabrina, Sabrina?

Where's the ambulance?

Oh my goodness.

This girl gonna kill me.

Okay.

Ah.

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

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

my mind.

This should be interesting.

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

What's all that?

I already know
what this is about.

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

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

giving myself to you.

You're funny.

I know you like a book.

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

from my perspective
though, alright.

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

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

Babe, I want to experience
us taking our relationship

to a new level.

You know what I mean?

But physically.

Just forget I even
brought it for now though.

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

Okay.

Okay what?

I'll think about it.

Like for real.

Yeah.

No, like for real, for real.

Yes, I will think about it.

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

Don't get so excited please.

What do you mean
don't get excited?

I didn't say yes, so.

Okay, but it's a step.

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

I guess.

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

Really.

I'm not.

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

Okay, so why aren't
we getting married?

Pablo, Pablo.

Bruh, ya'll missing
them stains bruh.

Sup?

Excuse you, what
are you doing?

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

Oh yeah.

Babe.

What's wrong with you man?

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

Hey, you better listen
to your little lady.

My little lady just
saved you brother.

You heard

Go ahead and get
going to class.

I'm not worrying about this.

By baby.

Bro, let me tell you
something right now.

Oh, watch all that

What you making, 20?

Let me stop you right

Nine?

Shh, nine?

Yes, nine.

Bird, grab that bag.
Grab the little bag.

Here you go.

Nine of these an hour.

See, you don't listen, playboy.

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

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

here with us getting this
bread, building our business.

What you have to do
to get that though?

No risk, no reward.

Alright, now look.

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

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

I would like to see
that in my hand.

We gonna talk, alright.

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

I don't want to hear it.

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

Seriously.

I said I don't
want to hear it.

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

Watch it boss,
watch your step,

boss, blood pressure
gonna go up, boss.

Take it easy.

That wasn't even necessary.

Al, what the heck

Dead man walking.

Dead man walking.

Dead man walking.

That's funny huh?

Need to come to
work on time, bud.

So how much you made so far?

How much you think we made?

I don't know, man.

$125.

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

D-Rock is making all the money.

There ain't nothing
we can do about it.

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

There's always something
we can do about it.

Mastermind, I'm a cook a plan.

So let's get to work.

Where are you going?

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

Are you gonna give me
money for the furniture?

You gonna make some
money for the furniture?

Furniture right there, sit down.

Happy birthday.

Did we raise farm animals?

Tiffany!

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

I'm gonna be nice alright.

Tiffany!

Im a get Dinner started.

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

Tiffany, don't make
me come in there.

What?

What do you mean what?

Who do you think
you're talking to?

Why is my living room so messy?

Did you leave this mess in here?

Really?

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

and decided to do
my homework for me.

Maybe Goldilocks is a college
student and thought my

studies would be just right.

Don't you sass me young lady.

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

and pick up a few things
after Bible study.

Did he stop in yet?

Do you know who else
needs to attend Bible study

so that they can review
the commandment on how to

honor their mother and
father, so that their days

may be long on the earth?

That commandment is
definitely for parents

who actually deserve it.

Tiffany.

Excuse me?

That's enough.
Apologize to your father.

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

You better get your child.

Who is it?

It's Marquise.

Hello, Mrs. Evans.

Hey, Marquise.

Pastor Evans.

Marquise.

I thought
I would stop by

and say hi to Tiffany.

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

No, not at all. Come on in.

So, how you doing son?

I'm fine sir.

How's Deborah doing?

She's good.

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

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

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

of course.

Amen to that.

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

to see her in
church this Sunday.

Okay.

Both of us.

You should come to.

I'll consider it.

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

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Marquise.

What's wrong?

What?

Look at Marquise' car.

Boy, that boy no good.

What, he ain't got no rims?

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

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

And his tires, oh they're dusty.

Oh he need some help.

Help is on the way, what?

He just came in and just
found that mess there.

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

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

It's his house.

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

Kev, what's up bro?

What's up man?

How you been?

I've been good.

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

For the Lord.

I feel you.

How you been?

Ah man, same old, same old.

I was over here just
listening to Tiff

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

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

Shut up, Kevin.

Yo, you wouldn't believe
the craziness that happened

to me today.

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

Craziness huh.

Yeah.

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

now would you?

Jasmine.

Of course she did.

I remember when you
got us fired from that

clothing store back in the day.

And I was making
hundreds of dollars.

And then you got us fired
from the community service job

and that was free.

Something wrong with you man.

I'm a pray for you.

I think you should really
look at this as an opportunity

to finish writing your book.

I think you need to
take Tiffany's advice.

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

with a good idea.

Don't you have
somewhere to be, Kevin?

Like where?

Somewhere, anywhere but here.

Get get gone.

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

to my god mom.

Hope she don't kick you out.

You ain't got no money either.

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

Oh, your birthday,
next month right?

Yeah.

Alright.

Why you asking?

I just want know, birthday.

Alright, Kev.

Why are you so weird?

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

piece of car he got
for his birthday.

But you could have
just told him that.

That's not how I roll.

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

Go to bed.

Whatever.

Hmm.

G'ma.

Hello?

I'm not
working nine to five.

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

Upon seeing the clear.

Stupid.

Might as well.

Doing.

Yo, make a decision, man.

Cuzzo, where you at?

Quise

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

Hey, auntie.

You're looking good.

Life treating you well,
you're adjusting okay?

I can't complain.

Yeah, staying out of trouble?

Trying.

Uh hmm.

Is that a yes or a no?

That's a yes.

Uh huh, come sit down.

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

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

So the key would be to
condition yourself to react

differently whenever life
throws these curve balls huh.

Yeah, that's easier
said than done.

Especially when you been
taught out here to survive.

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

It is what it is.

You know, I pray
for you all the time.

And I've never
lost faith in you.

I appreciate it.

Where's the time gone?

I wish I could tell you.

Oh, I need to
get ready for work.

Good seeing you, David.

Nice talking to you.

Hey, make sure
nothing happens to him.

I got you.

I'll hold you to it.

Hold me.

Sup?

What was all that about?

Ain't nothing.

You ready to go get this bread?

I wanted to talk to you first.

Here we go.

Just listen, alright.

I've been thinking.

Let's just say God is real.

Hypothetically speaking, right.

Do you ever get the feeling
that he only looks out

for certain people?

And?

For instance, both you
and I lost our parents

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

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

We on the same path.

You remember that scripture
your mom use to always say?

Which one, man?

She had a lot.

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

a time to die.

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

Yeah.

Well, my understanding
on that is,

the only thing
guaranteed is death.

Yeah.

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

with a bang.

I mean, I hear you.

But do you feel me?

I mean, yeah.

Hey man, puff your chest up.

Bro, let's slide
and get this money.

Let me see your keys?

What you want my keys?

'Cause I said so.

You know we gotta
switch it up, man.

Why you asking all
these questions?

I think we was
gonna take the caddy.

When you gonna let
me drive the caddy?

When you get your paper up.

Alright.

See you change your mind.

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

You always got a choice.

You don't understand man.

I got so many bills just
hanging over my head.

Man, you're
preaching to the choir.

Check it out.

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

Locked?

Police got him on
some bogus warrant.

He's gonna be down
for a little minute.

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

You know I trust you?

I got you.

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

That's why I'm here.

Cuz.

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

Come on man, we family.

That's all I need to hear.

Yeah, come on

I see you got a nice
little smile there.

Yeah

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

giving me lately, no bueno.

You know what that means?

It means no good.

I need the stuff you were
giving me before you went

back to jail.

You know, I trust you.

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

what I want.

I got you. We
gonna work on that.

Demitri, do me a favor.

You know those fancy
glasses we just got in?

Can you grab one off the
back shelf there for me?

New kid, he's alright.

Look, I trust you okay.
Don't disappoint me.

I got you. We good.

Thank you.

What do you want?

This glass reminds
me of your club.

Yeah.

It's always
empty. Take it easy.

Funny guy.

Nice to meet you.

Good friend of mine.

He seems nice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Here, go put this back.

No problem.

Yeah.

Well, how much of
that thing you want?

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

first thing in the morning.

Wow.

Hey babe.

Is your money right tho?

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

I was gonna say that I
brought home some food,

but I guess you're not hungry.

Stop playing, of
course I'm hungry man.

No, no.

Come here, man.

You really hungry?

Yes, yes.

Nope, no dinner
for you tonight.

Wait, where you going?

No dinner for you.

Now I gotta go
hungry. Stop playing.

Uh hmm.

Yeah.

Huh?

What do you mean?

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

Yeah, old boy getting
all the paper.

It's all good though.

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

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

wet work in.

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

as usual.

Little did
we know, Mitch and Tommy

were scheming to get rid of us.

Lookie what the
cat dragged in.

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

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

Oh no.

Could I get you anything?

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

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

Everything alright?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah.

Nothing you want to tell me?

Nothing I can think of.

How about the fact
that you were fired?

Because I thought that we
had the type of relationship

that was strong enough that
you would have thought to

let me know about such a thing.

Ah, maybe I was wrong.

You're not wrong.

We do have that kind
of relationship.

And I did try and
tell you afterwords.

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

so I just.

Hey, don't stress
it. I understand.

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

no matter what.

And I hope you know
that you can come to me

and talk about anything.

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

Yes, I know love.

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

Well, did you
finish your sermon?

I sure did.

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

for a few months now?

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

It is titled The
Consequences of Our Actions.

Hmm.

Can I hear what
you're gonna say?

You sure can.

Hold on, let me
get my glasses on.

Get ready.

Making word, and now
let me get comfy.

Let me start by asking
y'all a question.

Have you ever done something?

Let me start by asking
y'all a question.

Have you ever done something
that you knew was wrong,

but because no one else
knew about it, you thought

you got away with it?

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

in the dark?

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

But just because God will
forgive us, and Jesus died

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

exempt for the consequences
of our actions.

Can I get an amen?

Amen.

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

Isaiah chapter one.

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

When you have it
say it, say amen.

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

Need a minute.

Is everybody there?

Amen.

Let's all read it together.

If you are willing and
obedient, you shall eat the

good of the lamb.

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

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

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

that for every action,
there will either be a

positive consequence or
a negative consequence.

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

or we are going to be
devoured by the sword.

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

the ones doing the sowing.

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

Yes.

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

this day whom you will serve?

- Yeah.
- Amen.

Church, God has
given us free will.

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

the right choices.

Can I get an amen?

Amen.

Can God get an amen?

Amen.

Amen, hallelujah.

Praise God, hallelujah.

Thank you, amen. Hallelujah.

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

Our own Pastor Hutchens.

Thank you, pastor.

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

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

will visit the sins of a
father upon his children

to the third and
fourth generation?

So, how did you
enjoy the sermon?

It was food for the spirit.

Thank you. I really
needed to hear that.

Uh huh.

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

Okay.

Lately, my relationship
with Tiffany has become

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

Hmm.

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

You know what?

You have a very unique
way of saying a whole lot

without saying much at all, man.

It was so good
to see you today.

Oh my gosh, it's so good

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

you could make it.

What a great message
for me to come back to.

Oh good.

I'll see you ladies later.

- Oh okay, bye.
- See ya.

Mom, can I talk
to you for a second?

Oh.

I'll catch up with you later.

Bye sweetie.

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

Okay, baby.

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

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

Hey love.

How you doing, Tiffany?

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

Doing great, thank you.

Did you enjoy the service?

Enjoyed it very much.

Great, I'm glad you did.

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

Thank you.

Have a great day.

You too.

♪ Like a bird in
the sky I'll fly

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

It's just, work
has been so crazy.

It's
okay, we understand.

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

is to break even.

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

and I still very rarely
have any disposable income.

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

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

Yes, of course.

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

over our families
and our finances?

Dear God, give us the
strength to overcome these

financial headwinds and
continue to look over our family

and our friends.

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

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

We thank you.

We thank you for all
that you have done for us

and all that you will
continue to do for us.

You are the truth and the light.

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

because of the light
that resides within us.

In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Amen.

Amen.

How is Marquise doing, Debra?

Funny you should ask.

Because I have been praying
over him a lot lately.

And I don't even know why.

You know, he would be
such a powerful advocate

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

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

a very sore subject with him.

Why is that?

Well, you remember his
father was killed when he

was a small boy.

And a few years later,
when Sabrina died,

it just devastated him.

Hmm.

And he refused to believe
that they were really gone

and he thought they were
just gonna come back

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

I thought that when he
would grow up, he would

think differently.

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

In fact, it's gotten worse.

But having said that, I
still maintain that once

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

that he'll see the light.

Hey, little homie.

That dude that's in there.

Word.

He's food.

You know what we do to fool?

Say no more. Let me handle it.

Handled. That simple.

Hey, come on!

Hurry up, man!

You're smiling man, ain't

Come on.

Hey man.

Come on man.

Check it out.

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

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

Anybody that owe me, pick it up.

Can you handle that?

Slow down.

Man ain't no slow down.

Man, you need to speed up.

Can you handle that?

Wait.

Hey man, is you
gonna roll or not?

Oh.

Man, I can't believe this man.

They only respond to you.

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

They said the food will
be ready in 20 minutes.

20 minutes, are you serious?

Don't be getting loud with me.

I'm not the one cooking it.

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

hot sausage, or pig
feet or something.

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

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

Yeah, baby.

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

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

That's right.

That's what I'm talking about.

You can't even admit
when you wrong.

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

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

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

Don't be pulling

Listen.

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

like that.

You know I'm a G

Bro, you know you ain't no G.

Where you going?

Beezo, don't do that homie.

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

Where my money at, man?

Look at me when
I'm talking to you.

Where my money?

I ain't got it, D.

Come on, let them
take care of it.

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

tomorrow but you never
answer the phone man.

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

Listen, wait, wait, wait.

Look, my girl went out swiping.

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

Go in his pockets, cuz.

I got your money man.

Go in his pocket.

Somebody playing with you, man.

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

Playboy, I don't
play about my money.

And you still owe me.

Come on, let's slide.

You talking about you a
younger version of Suge Knight.

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

What you want me to do?

Get myself hurt messing

with that man?

So your girlfriend went
out swiping yesterday.

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

Man, whatever yo.

Ain't no whatever.

Who are you?

You know what?

I'll tell you who he is.

Man, you just big for nothing.

Let me ask you something.

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

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

Move.

Forget y'all man.

Thought you guys left.

That'll be $58.75.

Thank you.

He'll take care of that.

Come on girl, let's go.

Hey, wait wait,
where y'all going?

As far away from
you as possible.

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

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

That'll be $58.75.

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

Well, someone's
gotta pay for it.

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

Hi, may I help you?

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

Okay.

Here's my ID.

I actually got a call
earlier today, saying that

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

so I'm here.

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

Are you serious?

Did I say something wrong?

I mean, why would the
office be calling me in

unless I was already a patient?

My bad.

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

It can be overwhelming.

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

should be with you shortly.

Jaz.

Tiff?

Hey girl, what's up?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

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

We haven't spoke in a while.

Uh hmm.

Tiff?

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

plan my baby shower.

You're baby shower?

Yeah.

What?

Congratulations.

Yeah, yeah.

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

since I told you
Marquise got fired.

Girl, speaking of.

Uh hmm.

Okay, so listen.

I kind of blew your
cover a little bit.

Of course you did.

Listen, I accidentally
slipped up and told him

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

And the first thing
he did was blame you.

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

"a big mouth."

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

Exactly, that's
what I'm saying.

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

what I would know.

Marquise doesn't
tell me anything.

Well, speaking of
Marquise, come here.

Ugh, what is it now?

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

Drugs?

Tiff, come on.

No way.

Yes, I'm telling you.

And I'm hearing that
some other competition

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

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

and you got a nice
little situation now.

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

Okay, Dr. Singler.

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

Do not skip a dosage.

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

Okay, now, you take care.

You too.

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

Girl.

Ms. Evans.

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

I really want to finish
this conversation.

No, I gotta be somewhere
in like 15 minutes.

You always have
somewhere to go.

I just came back
to get my phone.

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

but we need to have
this conversation.

I have a lot of
questions for you.

I got you.

Okay.

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

Girl, I'm gonna tell
him something alright.

That's right.

Well, the reason we
requested for you to come in

is because your blood test
shows that your RH factor

is negative.

In all likelihood, your
baby's RH positive,

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

Umm, can we simplify
this a little bit.

What does that mean?

Basically, being that
you're RH negative,

if your baby is RH positive,
your blood could mix

when you give birth,
which would be a problem.

What do I need to do next?

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

to determine if
he's RH negative?

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

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

to prevent any problems in
the event that your blood

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

Me and the father aren't
really on speaking terms

right now.

Is there any other
options for me?

Then you may have to
get what's called an

amniocentesis or AM Test done.

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

The test is relatively
safe with very small chance

of complications, and it
allows to screen the baby

for genetic disorders as well.

You said a small
chance of complications?

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

Okay.

Hey baby.

Baby, what's wrong?

Nothing.

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

Just take me home, Marquise.

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

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

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

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

Who told you that?

Does it matter?

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

to build towards having this
family that we both want.

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

I don't care about
the money, Marquise.

Well, you need to.

You don't remember
me telling you.

I'm a man.

As a man, I have
to be a provider.

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

how it ends.

With you either going
to jail or worse, dead.

It's not gonna happen.

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

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

It's either me or those streets.

But you can't have both.

Are you being
serious right now?

I'm serious.

Look babe, just
relax, chill alright.

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

Okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Fine, your makeup
about to run.

You gonna have
your dad mad at me.

♪ Get ready

Who's calling me man?

Hello?

Pastor Evans?

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I gotta just stop
by the house first.

Okay.

♪ Get ready, change

♪ He's calling his children
to carry

♪ He's calling

How you doing young man?

I'm doing well.

You mind if we walk?

Yeah.

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

Couple of rough patches.

Just lost my job the other day.

So gotta kind of work
on that a little bit.

Anything else you
want to talk about?

Did you watch the
game last night?

You know I watched that game.

Let's go inside
and talk about it.

Make sure you close
that door behind you.

Okay, alright.

Thank you.

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

Pull up a chair.

Make yourself comfortable.

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

to be able to write
some amazing stories.

Is that correct?

I'm an average
writer man, at best.

Come on son,
don't be modest now.

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

that God has given you.

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

Do you understand what
that will allow you to do

for the kingdom?

Hmm?

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

that society has
deemed unreachable.

Those who have been born
under the same circumstances

as you.

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

to be that beacon of light
to those still living

in darkness.

I don't know
about that, pastor.

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

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

to our problems outward,
when the answers reside

within us, and those
answers come from God.

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

but he always gives
you what you need.

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

around here.

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

How much did you make
at your last job?

I don't want to tell you.

Come on, man, try me.

$9 an hour.

That's alright.

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

If you like the arrangement,
you can continue on.

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

to continue.

That should provide you
with some financial help.

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

writing abilities.

You gonna pay me
weekly or bi-weekly?

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

whatever you want.

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

You gonna take
tithes out of my check?

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

your offering.

Alright, alright,
you have a deal.

Deal.

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

to talk to you about.

Okay.

How are things coming along
between you and Tiffany?

Things have been really well.

Okay, okay, just asking.

She doesn't talk
to me much lately.

I'm sorry to hear that sir.

Son, it's not your fault.

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

You know, I'm
looking forward to it.

But not before you
get married, right.

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

You do know premarital
sex goes against everything

we believe in.

Well, alrighty in.

Tomorrow at noon.

Yeah, ah, yes sir.

Sounds good.

Thank you though
for the opportunity

and the conversation.

You're welcome.

After our
conversation, Pastor Evans

was very suspicious of me
and Tiffany's relationship.

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

so I'm just gonna
cut to the chase.

Have you had relations
with Marquise?

Yeah.

And I'm pregnant with
his baby right now.

Let's just get this over with.

Go ahead, tell me how
disappointed you are.

And how I'm still in college

with my entire life ahead of me.

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

God forbid an out of wedlock
pregnancy because what a

scandal that would be when
your precious church finds out.

And I can hear them
gossiping already.

Did you hear about
the pastor's daughter?

How dare you.

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

If you would have just-

If I had been
what, Tiffany, huh?

When are you gonna grow up and
learn to take responsibility

for your own actions young lady?

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

You probably care more
about what the congregation

is gonna think than
you do about me.

What they think and how they
feel has always mattered

more to you.

I've heard enough alright.

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

your punching bag.

You let me know
when you're ready

to have a real conversation.

Hey, my brother.

What's up, Deak.

What are you doing on
this beautiful Saturday?

Man, listen,
mind if I sit down?

Yeah, have a seat. Have a seat

Is everything alright Bill?

Hey, Pastor.

Hey Evelyn.

How are you?

I'm doing good, how are you?

I'm doing good.

Can I get you guys
something to drink,

water or coffee maybe?

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

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, I'll leave you boys alone.

If you need anything,
just let me know.

Thank you.

Is everything alright?

You look a little flustered.

I don't know, man.

I've been fighting a
spiritual battle lately.

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

But that's impossible.

And why is that?

Because you are a
strong man of God.

And that battle that you
speak of was won way before

it started.

And that's where my
problem begins, man,

Deak, I'm starting to
question my calling.

But why?

I think my pastoral
duties are destroying my

relationship with
my daughter, man.

Pardon my candor,
but that's ridiculous.

I beg your pardon.

What you're saying is
you believe your calling

is a mistake.

Maybe.

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

are irrevocable.

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

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

You know what?

I didn't mean to trouble you.

It's no burden.

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

Without a test, there
could be no testimony.

You are a mighty
warrior for the kingdom.

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

on that battlefield.

You cannot allow the
enemy to gain a foothold

in your relationship
with Tiffany.

'Cause sooner or later,
you will lose her.

You know what you
have to do right?

Yeah, I sure do.

Thank you my brother.

I really needed to hear that.

Of course man.

Thank you Deak.

Alright, I gotta go.

Alright.

Come here.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

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

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

everything to everybody else,
that I forgot to spend time

with you and your mother.

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

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

Okay, daddy.

Alright.

You cannot continue
to have relations

with Marquise unmarried.

There are consequences
to that, baby girl.

Okay, dad.

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

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

I want you to always
put God first, alright.

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

And he'll never lead you astray.

Can you please do that for me?

Yes, daddy, I can.

Whatever.

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

to never leave me?

Yes, I can promise
to never leave you.

Awesome.

Can you promise
the same thing?

Of course, I promise.

Okay.

Unless.

Unless what?

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

You got that straight?

There you go.

Alright, you be good now.

What?

Wait a minute.

Hey, hey, hey.

Alright, have it your way then.

Happy birthday boy,

Man, and you doing a great

Even attending Bible study.

I always knew you had it in you.

You just had to get

So you could make it happen.

I gotta give you some
appreciation though, man,

'cause you always believed me.

Oh yeah, give God the glory.

Give God the glory.

What's up with you

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

just gonna stay
fresh, for the Lord.

No, no.

Longterm, bro.

Oh, I'm going back to school.

Yeah?

To get a degree in theology.

Theology?

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

I'll be ready.

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

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

Oh yeah, God is good.

I like that for you.

Oh yes. God got us, man.

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

and get out of here.

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

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

Your car looking bad
for your birthday.

'Cause you look like
you're struggling man.

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

Come on man.

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

Yeah, happy birthday, brother.

You ain't got to do that, man.

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

Kevin decided
to stop by the nearest store

on his way to getting
the rims for my car.

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

to get going.

What, they closed?

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

You're crazy man.

Yeah.

So what you gonna do?

What you mean,
what I'm gonna do?

Man, what you gonna do, man?

What you mean, what do I mean?

They done shot your homeboy.

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

Let God deal with it?

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

You pray, pray,
pray, and you broke.

So what you wanna do?

You wanna just go
roll up on them.

You praying and your homeboy

in critical condition right now.

Have you forgot
where we from, huh?

We don't pray.

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

So, what you gonna do?

Huh?

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go man.

So, tell me a little
bit about yourself.

What brought you down
to his place here?

Well, they transferred
me over here.

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

Yeah.

Exactly what I use to think.

What do you mean?

My father was a cop.

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

15 years, he gave his
life to this precinct.

I hardly ever saw the guy.

15 years.

Last thing I wanted to
do was become a cop.

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

Yeah.

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

You start off well,
you mean well.

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

out here.

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

Savages?

Yeah, yeah.

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

was a madman.

You ready?

Ready.

Ain't no turning back.

I know.

Just like the
ten commandments.

Written in stone.

I told him it
was the wrong hit,

and he still went top busting.

Whoa, did you hear that?

Yeah, sounded like gunshots.

I'm calling it in.

No. This is our call.

We got this.

Police!

Hold it right there.

Let me see those hands.

Both of you.

Let me see those
hands right now.

Let me see those
hands or you're dead.

That's
when I knew I had

to turn my life around.

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

just so I could have a future.

Business started booming
for Mitch and Tommy.

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

and got 25 years to
life for conspiracy.

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

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

severed his spinal
cord and paralyzed him

from the waist down.

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

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

After everything
we had gone through,

Tiffany and I both realized
it was God that got us

through it.

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

my selfish ways and helping
me to mend my relationship

with my father.

So we both
our lives over to him.

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

Soon thereafter, Tiffany
and I decided to do the

right thing and get married.

Do you Marquise take
Tiffany to be your lawfully

wedded wife, keep her in
sickness and in health,

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

I do.

Tiffany, do you take
Marquise to be your lawfully

wedded husband, do you
promise before God and these

witnesses to love him,
comfort him, honor him,

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

for as long as you
both shall live?

I do.

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

Gospel in the state of
Florida, I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Marquise, you may
kiss your bride.

Once the book was
done, Pastor Evans hooked me

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

God bless you, Marquise.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

- Take care of yourself.
- You too.

Oh my god, oh my god.

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

I flew all the way
over from Amsterdam,

and I just got here
for the book signing.

Wow.

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

And within five years, I
was able to buy Tiffany

that house of her dreams.

Hey.

Hi, how are you?

Good, you guys look very nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How are you doing again?

I'm doing very well.

Hey baby.

Hi.

You ready to see this house?

Tell your parents
it's really nice.

Let's
go check it out.

Come on, let me show you.

This house is
700,000 square feet.

My goodness.

Yes.

I didn't
even mind when Tiffany

would invite Jasmine over.

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

Hey, baby.

And you overlooked this
letter I left for you

on the counter.

It's from D-Rock.

D-Rock?

Yeah.

Let me know if you
need anything, okay?

Okay, love you.

Love you too.

What's up little cuz?

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

but I wanted to congratulate
you on the success

of your book.

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

I give up myself to God too.

I always knew that the
truth resided in him.

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

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

I was able to slow down
and really recognize things

for what they were.

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

life around.

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

in less than five years.

Love you, cuz, see you soon.

Daddy, come
get in the pool with us.
