spreading fast

there was record of this?
Yes everything.

We start treatment and three days later,

And how long has Marissa been here?

Six months. She was our first.

(In Spanish) hello Marissa

hello

Mattie that's a lovely name for a doll.

She had leukemia

I don't know. Stay here.

Marissa, get under the bed.

Hey Joey, I didn't even see you
there. Hey I got something for
you.

Oh do you?
Natural hair. Thought you
might like

to, hold onto these
. Really?

Really.
Thank you. News

they're awesome.
Of course they're awesome.

Thanks.
Hey, you going to dinner with
that guy?

Nice hair? Pretty teeth?
I don't want to talk about it.

You should talk to him. I think
he really, really likes you.

Don't want to talk about it.
Thanks for the brushes. Keep
painting.

You never want to talk to me.
I'll get you some more next
week.

So you go to take the bus home?
Yeah baby, I'll be fine.

Are you sure?
Get yourself to work. I told
you I'll be fine.

See you tonight.

Sure will.

Will let me wrap this up for us then.

I would personally like to
thank Calvin Cabral for his
many years of service.

To the pharmaceutical
community. As a leader,

in cancer research, Dr. Cabral
has given

avenues of treatment to cancer
patients and extended life for

many thousands of people. So on
this day,

this day of his retirement,
and acting as the

committee chairman for the
Cancer research Center, I've
been asked

to give him this lifetime
achievement award

honoring him. So without
further ado

Dr. Cabral congratulations

thank you Dean. Thank you very
much.

And for everyone here, I just
want to say how

grateful I am, after twenty
five years to be able to

gosh, just...

To be here. I have a few
regrets. My life is actually

full of them, but,

I loved my wife, and I love her
today. So much. The fact that,

she passed away before I could
do anything to help.

She passed from cancer.

About ten or twelve years ago

and we were so close,

but...

My regret was that we weren't
able to find...

Thank you so much Calvin, thank
you. Enjoy your

retirement, all right?
And don't ever call me again.

Hey Talia.
Hey! So my man came home last
night all drunk

and hi, and expected me to be
all about it. I told him he'd
better

wash up before he even looks at me

Is he ever going to learn?

No! Learn what? How to treat a
woman? You don't know anything!

So how is Desi?
She's back to working.

Working? Is she feeling all right?

They say she's in remission.

Ms. Grayson, my neighbor, two
doors down, they told her she
was in remission.

And they sent her home. You
know what they really meant?

What?
She died two months later if

that tells you anything.

(Music)

(bellringing)

Okay, ladies and gentlemen. And
I use the term loosely, that's
it

for today. Don't forget your
homework for next time. The
laws of cosine.

I don't want Todd to come
tonight because he always gets
way too drunk.

And then tries to fight everyone.

Then don't let them at your house.

Hey Joey, do you want to
come to a party tonight? Me?

Yeah, Shelley's having a shindig
tonight. It's good to be fun. Sounds cool.

Yeah, just a small group of
people, but if you want to stop
in it would be cool.

Cool.
About ten?
, I can't actually, I'm busy.

Got a hot date?
Not exactly, just some

schoolwork.
But it's Friday night!!

Yeah, I know but I'm behind.
Thanks.

She is so weird.
No sh ♪ ♪ ♪...

So how's your retirement launch?
It sucked.

Just like I thought it would.
It was a waste of time and
money.

Listen I've got a prescription
here, that I want you to fill

at the pharmacy. It's going to
help your blood pressure, okay?

I've also ordered an
echocardiogram for tomorrow.

And I want you to get it done.

Fun...

Listen, no stress. I mean it.
Okay?

What kind of stress could I have?

I'm in retirement now.

Hi mom.

Joella?
Yes mom?
Allow the color

to speak to you. As you apply
it.

See the lines are just a
blueprint for the feelings

and the color is where we find
the true emotion

okay mom.

I miss you.

Mama what you're doing?
I got it.

Okay, I know you do, but I can help to.
So what are you doing tonight?

I guess I'm going to be
helping you with this tree.

You need to be going out with
some of your friends.

My friends got their own problems.
What problems do

do you have?
I didn't say I have problems,

you said my friends have their own...

I was just saying my friends
are just too busy for me

and I'm too busy for them. That's all.

I know what you're saying.
You're just not saying

what you mean. I didn't ask you
to come here, and take

care of me. And I don't expect
to be a burden on you

and your life.
Mama you're not a burden.

Woman get out of here and go
have some fun.

The trees not done!
Girl, you got some a your

daddy in you, and it's rubbing
me the wrong way.

I hear he's with some young thing.

Ain’t ask you for an update on
that man. I was just making you
aware

of a character flaw.
Right to the point.

Now look at that! That's a nice
looking tree!

It's fake.
And it don't matter!

I can't believe you cooked!

I'm not so sure I like the sound of that.
It smells good.

Well, I got a get most of the credit to

what is it, chef...

Spaghetti or whatever... They
did most of the work.

There we go.

Dig in.
I could eat a horse.

You're in luck.

The meatballs...

Gross.
Could you pass the salt?

Thanks.

Here mom...
Joella! Come here sweetheart!

It's finished. I want you to be
the first one to see it.

Where is it?
Where you want it to be?

Well, it can be anywhere

it can be anything. For me,
it's a place in Honduras

that your father and I went to.
And right there, see that
corner?

Just around the corner, is a
wonderful street market with

flowers and music and dancing...

And cotton candy!

Yes! Yes! Lots and lots of
cotton candy.

So, I went to see mom today.

Oh?
The landscapers just let the
grass grow over her headstone.

Will it's been over 10 years, hasn't it?

Will it's been over 10 years, hasn't it?

Twelve, dad.
Twelve.
It's one of my favorite
paintings.

That painting was one of her best.

You should go visit some time.

Who?

Mom! Now that you're retired,
you can make the time to go.

Can't you? I can pick you up if
you want to go together.

What are you thinking about dad?

How's school?

You're almost finished with this.

This semester is the last semester.

And I think you have a test on Monday?

Thursday. Math.

I just want to make sure that
my money is being well spent.

One more semester, dad, and I graduate.

That's great. You didn't forget
to send the

application to Baylor medical did you?

No, dad.

That's good.

(Music)

Hey, there you are!

Why are you up so late?
You know, I thought you I
would check up on you.

Is that right?
I knew you'd be awake.

I have intimate knowledge of your brain.
It's not that graphic. Hey,

I'm good to show you something.
Are you going to do a
striptease?

In your dreams... Can you see
this?

Yeah, yeah I can see it.

What is it?

It's a painting.
Yeah I know it's a painting,
of what exactly?

I was inspired by downtown.

Oh... No, I see that...

It's... The city

it's whatever you wanted to be.
Look, I'm not the artsy guy,
okay?

You want to talk about the
bone structure of your right hand,

I've got you there.
Yeah that sounds like a whole
lot of fun.

Well, that is exactly what you
have to look forward to.

Anatomy, physiology... That's
hard too.

Yeah... I wanted to talk to
about that.

Hey I got a go. Can we chat
tomorrow?

Yeah, sure.
I love it when you're vague
Period

(music)

Good morning Desi.
Mr. Cabral how are you doing?

I'm okay. How are you doing?
I'm doing just fine.

Gosh, I got a go to the gym
and play some racquetball with

Jim Spector at ten thirty...
You give up smoking?

Did you give up breathing?
Nope.

As soon as you give that up,
I'll give up my smokes.

Right. Well, your check is in
the office.

Hi, what's your name?

Sophia Auglar.

That's a very pretty name.

Do you have cancer to?
No, but my mom does.

By...

So what's up? I thought she was
in remission.

Well, remission doesn't mean
cured. This time, it's spread

from her lymph nodes, and it's
in your stomach as well as her
lungs.

So what do we do?
We can give her another round
of chemo.

No, chemo didn't work last time.

What makes you think it
will work this time?

Listen, I've got to be honest
with you. Her onset of living
more than a couple

months are not very good. We
need to start thinking about

palliative treatments.

Palliative treatments? What
does that mean?

I'm talking about quality of
life. I'm saying, maybe you
should

talk to her about dying.

You're telling me, that I

should talk to my mom about dying?

I'm sorry. I understand.

How do you understand? How do I
talk to my mother about dying?

Three years ago, I buried my
father from colon cancer. You
know what I did?

I took them fishing in Alaska.
That's what we did.

We spent some quality time
together. That's all I'm
saying..

Spend some quality time with your mother.
That's bull s ♪ ♪ ♪

Mama?
Can we go now?

How do you feel?

It ain't nothing. That bleach
just did a number on me. I'm

ready to get out of here.

They want to keep you for the night.

What can be done here that
can't be done at home?

Mama, listen...

Don't Mama listen me.
We need to talk...

We are talking. I don't care
what the doctor says.

I'm fine.
And that's all that matters.

No you're not.
I got dizzy it happens with
age.

Mama would you stop doing that.

What?
Cutting me off! You got a
start back up with your chemo.

I'm not going through that again.
So you're giving up?

Giving up? You act like I chose
this.

You act like I choose to have cancer.

I don't get to choose
when I die. God does.

Not me. I just get to go along
for the ride.

If you started up this time, maybe then,

They Will get it.
Is that with the Dr. really
said?

If my time is up, I don't want
to spend it lying

some hospital bed, waiting for
my hair to fall out.

Oh God, I should call daddy.
Why? I don't want him nowhere
near me.

He's a liar and a cheat.
He should know what's going on.

Don't call him and tell him nothing.

I don't want him gloating over my illness.

I've had enough. TAKE ME HOME.

Mama! You can't go home!

The doctor said you can't go home period

Well, well. how is the

recluse? You could've come in this
you know. A week? You made a week.

Without calling me?
I didn't want to let you off
that easy. Looks sitdown.

I wanted to talk to you.

What's up?
I need your help with RD
forty-seven.

Oh really? What for?

The Chinese are going to open
the floodgates and approve it.

You had me come here for that?
Come on, let's not have an
attitude.

I didn't bring you here to
fight. I wanted to offer you a
position here on the CRC

boards now your time it's in care is done.

I knew there was a reason they
gave you the job of giving

me an award.
It'll be an emeritus position.
Fundraising,

corporate events. That kind of
thing.

You want me to work for you and

John Powers in that Chinese deal?

Yeah we need a good front man.

This is nothing like sin care.

There's no time spent in the
lab. No political baloney. it's
all support and smiles.

We help new researchers find
new homes for their clinicals.

We distribute drugs in foreign
territories. And we support
cancer

patients with hope...

Your real humanitarian.
Oh come on Cal!

You could have given them
so much more than hope!

That was twelve years ago. For

all we know that stuff they
were testing was P soup.

You saw that data to! You saw
it too, didn't you?

Don't get paranoid on me.
Oh, and I wrong?
You're not right. No one
wanted to be

the one to fire you Cal, your
wife it just died for God's
sake!

Is that what you told them?
It's the truth. Look, Your

work is legendary. You've done
more

good than most men have done an
entire lifetime.

It would look great to have you

on the CRC board.
Don't patronize me.

I'm extending an olive branch here.

You just don't understand.

You don't understand.

Don't call.

Don't call me.

I need you to give me a ride.
Where you going?

To work. You can't go to work.
I can catch the bus if you're
too busy.

No, I'll take you. Let me just
put on some shoes.

Mama?
What?

When you want for
Christmas?
I really hadn't thought about
it.

If money didn't matter.
Money always matters.

You know what I'm saying.
Well, I guess...

To be in love. You know,
that feeling that builds all

inside you okay, besides that?

Would you want?
I want Christmas in New
Orleans.

Seriously?
That's what I want. To spend
the night with the

hot man in the liberty Hotel.
Did you know

your grandmother used to work
in this dive bar called the

horny toad. honey, she would
sing with the band. When I was
a kid,

I would sneak in, and watch...

She had this voice... I want to
go back there.

Wait here a minute.

Hey Josie!

Hey Josie!

Joey, it's been ages!
I've been busy with school.

So how's that going for you?
My dad's happy.

Speaking of the devil,
have you seen your daddy?

No, I haven't. I'm just here
to drop something off.

I guess he's not here?
Good guess...

I saw a day outside in the car,
are you leaving?

Yeah, I'm taking a little time
off. I stopped by to drop off a
note.

Going on vacation?
Yet you could call it that.

But I better get going...

Tell your daddy I hope I'm not
causing any problems.

Okay. I love you.

Bye-bye.

I think I found a way we could
make some money. But I need to
talk to you about it.

I don't have a will. I never
thought about it

Never thought about making a will.

Do you believe it? Who doesn't have a will?

Mama, I found some stuff
online, and it really got me
thinking

who's going to take care
of you when I'm gone?

Listen to me!

Dammit, don't you raise your voice to me.

Did you forget who you're talking to?

Yes ma'am, but I'm trying to
talk to about this.

Go on, talk.
I found some companies online
that can turn your life
insurance policy into cash.

We can use that money to get
you into some alternative
treatments.

I found one online, in Arizona.

I'm not going through that stuff.

Mama, I'm trying to keep you
alive, why are you fighting me
on this?

I'm not fighting you.
Feels like it.

Look baby, I'm not dead yet.

Plus, I can't go nowhere until
I teach you how to cook.

Mama!
How you can catch a man
without knowing how to cook?

I I can cook

burning ain't cooking.

I did burn a chicken at that.

Yes you did girl, it was
blacker than me...

You cut that out!

Alright now, get the wrench on that

The big net there. The black
one.

What black one?
The one in the back that's
kind of flush with the sink

why are we doing this again?
Because there's a leak.

There's a leak in the faucet.
Now, you got it?

I'd like to know what it is.
Oh, come on!

[Knocking]

I got it.

Hey, I got it.

Dad? Seriously?

Hi.
Good afternoon,

Dr. Cabral.
Can I help you?

It's Dae! Desi's daughter.
I'm sorry, of course.

Can I talk to for a moment?
Sure, what can I do?

My mom's cancer came back.

She sent me a note yesterday,
that's what I thought it was.

Sorry, I should've called her.

That's okay. I don't want to
take up much of your time...

Listen, my mom has a 250,000

dollar life insurance policy,

and I was wondering if

you could buy it for 50,000

dollars and become her beneficiary.

That's illegal.

So, you wouldn't have to pay
the full policy value.

I found some alternative cancer
treatments, and I just really...

Need some cash to get her in.

This does he know you're doing this?

She wouldn't ask you for
anything. I wouldn't

even ask if we weren't so
desperate. We can't

sell the policy to other
companies until she's much

older. And you know we just...

We don't have that kind of time.

I can't do that.

I'm... I'm sure your mom would
understand.

She's in her late forties, and

...

Their new chemo's that may help her.

I think she should stay on the
therapies that she's on right
now.

Look, I can't bring myself

to think of investing in her dying.

I can't do it. God bless you.

Okay. Sorry for wasting your
time.

Please tell your mom that were
praying for her.

Okay I will.

Thanks doctor. Thanks for
nothing.

What?

Why won't you help her?
I don't know if her mother's

It's just not right.
So what is the right thing
then?

Dae Is...

Going to have to accept that

when the time comes, her mom's going to go.

I never thought I'd hear you

say something like that.

As you get older,

there's disappointments. I
don't know, when we get into
about that sink.

Now that, that nut. Did you
find it?

So, we are in the last few
weeks of the approval process.
With the Chinese.

Four R D forty-seven. And then
the president of

Pharma care in China would like

to meet with us so that we can
close this deal.

Good job. Anyone else got
something

to say? All right then, in that
case

I've got nine holes to run.
[Laughter]

Dean, may I speak with you?

You may.

Word is out that you approached Cabral.
I did. I wanted

him with us when we met with
the Chinese. He's a liability.

Syncare? I thought that whole mess was...

Well he's a purist, John. He
doesn't see the bigger bear
picture.

And now that he's off the grid...
You know we had a chance ten
years ago

to put this problem to rest,

you're right I vouched for him.

And that's why I want you to
take Care of it.

I want to make sure it

wasn't a mistake.

Enjoy your game.

Joey, huh?

That's a very interesting name
for a beautiful young lady.

It's short. For Joella.
, Even more beautiful

what are your interests? What
are you passionate about?

Actually, I'm an artist. I love
to paint. And sketch.

And she's brilliant too. She's
probably going to be accepted

Baylor medical.
What are you passionate about?

Well, I'm a lawyer.

So I guess I'm not passionate
about anything. I have no
feelings.

No, actually your father and my
father used to work together.

Really?
Twelve years ago.

That was a long time ago.
That's... We don't need to talk
about that, okay?

We you excuse me?

How should mom doing?
She's great. She's in Paris.
She travels

a lot since dad...
God bless him.

Calvin, my father

would be very happy that you

[Voice on tape] gentlemen
please... Por favor...

What can you tell me about the
Jonas project?

That is too big for you!

Don't!

Joella, it was nice to met you,
but I have to run.

You hang on to that. I've got
copies

what was that all about? Dad?

I'm all right.

He's a lawyer. He's a lawyer
all right.

How can I help you today?

Can I please close my account?

Were sorry to see you go...

And didn't need to speak to my
manager real quick, okay?

You want anything else mama?

A hot night with a very sexy young man.

Doing all the right things...
I'm working on it.

You do that.

[Knocking]

Who's that?

Hey Jo Ella.

Can I come in for a minute?
Is that my Joey? Get in here
girl!

How you doing sweetheart?

How you feeling?
I went feeling fine.

You want something to drink?

Sure... Some tea would be great.
Mama you stay, I'll get it.

Actually it come to talk to you.
Ain't no thing.

You girls talk.

So, you going to school somewhere?
I'm a weight trainer

hard bodies gym on fifth.
Still playing basketball?

Sometimes. I'm not interested
in reading white girl's real

intentions. So what are you
doing here?

I want to do for you what my dad wouldn't.
I don't need to feeling sorry

for me.
This is for Desi.
You got fifty thousand?

Actually... I do.

So when you give me the money.
Your name

will be made the beneficiary in place
of mine. You sure you're okay with that?

We got a deal?

Yeah. And it's not stolen?

No, it's not stolen.
Had to ask, you never know
these days.

You still in school?
I got a semester left.

You must be happy.
I'm thinking about taking a
break.

So, what kind of alternative
treatments are you considering?

I don't know. There's so many

online, I can't weed out the

good from the bad. You know,
this whole thing is

got me thinking. I wish the
researchers working on cancer

curators would get off their
back sides and do something.

I doubt they even work on that.
If there were people

on it full time, there would be all kinds

of cures by now. And I don't
get what they say, "more money"

"needs to be raised". This is
America. Print it up.

The rich live forever. I'm
hearing about them being cured.

All the time. Last week, there
was a walk for the cure.

Raised 750,000 dollars on my side of town.

But the method being done to
help my side of the people.

You know, look. My mother died

twelve years ago from breast
cancer. Cancer isn't

prejudiced to side of town.
When do you want to do this?

I'll give you the money now, my
attorneys will look over this.

Whatever you got a do.

This is Joey.
This is Macy from the art
studio.

Hey, what's up.
Nothing much. Got a guy coming

Did you think Joey?

Hello?
You sold her my policy.

It's a business deal, mama.
She's been a get hers.

Whatever happened between you and Joey?

In high school?
That's what all this got
started.

You've cleaned Dr. Cabral's
house for as long as I can

remember. When we got into high
school,

we were in the same class, and
that she ignored me for four
years.

Now she wants to make up for it.

Well, I'm happy she helped you,
but she won't get me back that
easy.

When did it become a
bad thing to try to make up

for your mistakes?
Mama! You worked for those

people all those years, and
they never once called.

They never stop by here. They
don't care. You were just an
employee.

And if you die, oh well. They
are rich.

So all their problems go away
when they throw money at it.

You can't turn your back on friendship.

No matter what the color, or
how much money is involved.

Why don't you call Joey. See
what she's about.

Hey Kim, you got a minute?

Yeah. What's up.
My mom sick.
Oh no. Is it serious?

It's cancer.
I They got it the last time.
That's what we thought.

Oh my God. What are you going to do?

I may need to take some time off.

Take as much time as you need.

You'll still have a job when you get back.

You're my best trainer. I can
loan you a few hundred dollars.

No, Kim, thanks. You don't have
to do that.

Don't even try to make me cry.
Go on. Get out of here.

Thank you.

Just put it right here?
Yeah. this is good.

You ready? Okay. Easy.

Got it?
I think so. I don't see the
hook. [Phone ringing]

I got to take this. You got it?
Yes, yes I do.

thank you.
You don't have to thank me.

My mom and I are headed to the
airport tomorrow morning.

And I was wondering if you
wanted to meet up for coffee or
something like that.

Yeah, you know I'm right in the
middle of something right now.

Do you mind if I call you right back?

Do you have my number?
I have your number.

Joey, a little help?
Sorry I got ago

okay.

While that was easy.

[Voice on phone] thank you for calling the

Wow, a real person. I'd like to
speak with someone about

getting my mother into a trial.
Please hold.

Thanks.
This is Tina.

Yes, I'm calling about the T
C three clinical trial.

It's for my mother, apparently
her first treatment didn't work

the way we thought it would.
Is this a cancer re occurrence?

It was in remission, but it
came back two weeks ago.

I'm sorry to hear that, but
this is a closed study for
non-hereditary

early stage malignant neoplasm.
What does that mean?

It means your mother doesn't qualify.

How do you know?
You haven't even seen her.

I understand your frustration.

Look, I don't want you to
understand my frustration.

I want you to put my mother on the list.

There isn't a list.
But your website says "now
accepting"

all stages and types of
cancer". You're saying it's
baloney.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

If I had 1 million bucks,
would you put her in the study?

Are you looking

to make a donation? No!!

Day?

Yes mama?

Can you getting some aspirin,
baby girl? You okay?

I'm fine. Told you

I'm fine. Don't worry about
me. Who was you yelling at

on the phone?
Another corporate stooge

honey, you got to stop
worrying. Why don't you

go out or something. [knocking]
who's that?

Probably Joey.

Baby, you just don't know how
much you made

my dreams come true.
It's my pleasure.

Well, I'm going to go take a
hot bath. Go to bed. We got a
get up early in the morning

to catch the plane. Why don't
you girls go find y'all some
men.

Mama!
There's a bar down the street.
Pool, beer, men.

Yourself some.
I'm cool with the beer.

♪♪

Six

See those guys over there?

Yeah, they're kind of cute.
Jerks. They're only looking
for a chance

to dance in our pants. You
break.

All right. So, why didn't you
ever hang out?

Please. I tried to talk to your white
ass you ignored me. Why won't Desi

take any more treatments?
Lost faith in the medical

community. You know, I've been
doing some research online, and
it looks like

there is no money in curing
cancer. You can make a really
good living

finding a cure.
You know, when my mom died,

I didn't trust anyone to try to get close
to me. That's why you didn't talk to me.

In high school.
Exactly.

Tell me something.

Do you think Susan G Komen
is hiding the cure? Shut up.

No, I'm serious. I'm serious.

Hi ladies, see the gentleman
right over there?

He bought another round of drinks for you.

Took care of that.

How you getting to the airport tomorrow?
We're taking the shuttle.

Let me take you guys.
Okay.

Thank you for the ride, baby.

Here you go. It's my pleasure.
You guys have a good time.

I intend on putting my feet up and

having sexy boys feed me grapes.
I don't need to see that

Well then, why are you going?
Do you have plans for the
holidays?

Sleep and paints. I have a few
pieces I need to finish up.

Boring. And predictable.
I know... But.
Why don't you come with us?

Mama!
She can make up her own mind.
Plus, I like having you around.

No, I couldn't do that.
If your father insists on

having his head stuck up his butt,

you don't need to join him for
Christmas. Do something for
yourself.

I don't have any luggage or anything.
You can buy all of that New
Orleans.

Your mother's crazy.
Mrs. Kennedy farm. Go park
that thing, I'll get you on the
flight.

My treat.
She's the boss, go park.

This is crazy.

I'm surprised you came, but,
it's a good thing. This is crazy.

Am I that boring?

(in unison) yes!
Thanks a lot!

You see hanging with us will
make you spectacular!

Well thanks for the invite.

Jell get me some water, I need
to make a call.

[ Voice on phone] hello this is
cancer center

of Texas calling. we had you
scheduled for a chemo

appointment yesterday afternoon.

And you were a no-show. To
reschedule, please call...

Mr. Taylor?
Ms. Griffith?

This just came in for you.

That is the bomb!
Where the collards at?

Girl, what you know about soul food?

White girls eat soul food too.

There's a lot of good-looking
men in this place.

You want to look into that.
Yeah, Dae, you got a look into
that.

Value and sustainability. And I
am not just finding that here.

Different city, different rules.
Lucas talking, where is your
man?

Yeah, why don't you have a man?

Why do you think I don't have a man?

Because your too tense. if you
had a man you'd be more relaxed.

And why is that exactly?
Because of the sex.

She got you there.

You know sex releases endorphins

that help with healing and
stress, and hell, it just feels
good.

All right, there is a certain someone I
am talking to. Well, you need to call him.

Let them know you jumped on
a plane before he gets worried.

He's not from Texas, actually.

He's from South Carolina.
Damn.
I told you she wasn't getting
any.

What's he doing in South Carolina?
He's a med student.
so he has no money.

Never marry a man with no money, trust me.

How did you meet him?
Why are we talking About me?
Because I'm nosy.

How did you meet?
Okay. Don't laugh, okay? we
met on the website

for people in the medical profession.
No!

That is not dating. That is a
videogame.

I remember when people used to

meet face-to-face. Have you met
this boy physically?

You know what? I don't want to
talk about this.

This is from the gentleman at the bar.

See? That's a real man. And
this is the way you meet men.

Not on some airwaves. You put
your vibe out there,

and they know what you're looking for.
That sounds like ho'in it.
I call it

bumping and grinding.
Stop it I'm going to throw up.

That's working to go next.
South Carolina.

We leave tomorrow, call that man
friend of yours. We just got here!

My mama used to seeing in this
bar on that stage, right over
there.

I came here to have a drink,
meet a man, have a

hot night. And will continue
our adventure in the morning.

Excuse me...

She seems happy.
Looks like she's having the
time of her life.

That she is.

My girl...

Don't be afraid. Come here
sweetheart

come here sweetheart.

Mama, I just don't want you to go.

Oh, baby.

I don't want to either.

Listen baby, I want to follow your heart.

Do you hear me? Now always

I'll always be with you, and I
will help you know what to do.

I promise. I love you.

Wow, this place is so beautiful!

This is the kind of place
we belong in, honey.

You've got to see the sights
from out there.

I can't believe I'm doing this.
Girl, if you don't calm down,

and you have to make me a drink to cool my

nerves.
I'm sorry, it's just me and
relationships don't work.

Well, working to make you look
beautiful. And Michael is can a
lose

his mind.
Work it! Work it!

Would you like some more wine?

I'll just take the bill, thanks.

Hey!

I am so sorry. I had to stay,
and I really couldn't get away.
But I...

It's fine.
Well... Has anyone ever told
you

you look better in person than
you do on the Internet?

So, what looks good. I am
starving.

What?

Did you have sex with that old man last night?
Did you ever know me to be a kiss and tell?

Yes.

Mama got to get her groove on.

So, I mean, this guy comes in,
the ER, and he is just gushing
blood.

I mean, it's going all over
the place. I didn't even have
time to scrub in.

I just got my hands in there,
and just went to work.

So would you do this time?
Well, I clamped it,

stitched him up. Saved his
life. But, that's what's so
exciting.

You got a guy's heart in your
hands. Life or death.

I mean, it's a rush.
So you like it?
Yeah, I love it.

I mean, to be honest, I think I
like the money a little more.

Oh,

how was your exam?

It was all right. I haven't got
my grades back yet, but I'm

thinking about taking a break from school.

Really? You want to take a break?
Yeah, you know, exploring my
options.

I respect that.

Listen, Joella. This might seem
a bit

forward but. I have this great
little romantic beach house up
in

Charleston, and I was thinking
we should go up there for a few
days.

We've only talked of the Internet.

Well, right... But...

Why else are you here? I mean
you called me,

said that you were in town,
it's Christmas Eve, so I am

I am thinking that up as A sign.
No, it wasn't a sign.

Come on. Why don't we just

get out of here.

What is that?
What is what?
It's nothing.

Are you married?
No, I'm not married.

I was married. I mean,
technically.

Technically, yes I am still
married. But it's a bad story,

I don't want to talk about
that. I would like to talk

about us. Where are you going?

You are such a douche.

I thought you wanted to explore
your other options.

[Offscreen] hello?

You expecting someone?
Yes.

Mama, that's nasty. We share a
room

. I don't want to be here
with you and some guy.

That visitor is not for me.
He's tall, dark...

Handsome, smart, he's Into
computers, and his name is
Joseph.

Get back here!
Hello beautiful!

You like basketball?

Yes I do.

[Phone ringing]

Hi dad.

Why haven't you been answering your phone?

Tomorrow is Christmas.

Hey, to you too.
I got a call from the bank,

you close your account. And
that money was for school.

Eye don't have money to throw
away. Did you pay for your
tuition?

Dad, I really don't have time
for this right now. I've got
someone

coming over.
We come by the house?

Not tonight.
Tomorrow?

Dad, I got ago. I'll call you tomorrow.
We need to talk about...

I cannot believe you just missed that shot.
That's crazy.
your back early.

Hey, am I interrupting

no, no not at all. Joseph
Carter

mama found him wandering the
halls, so she just let them in.

She's joking, of course.
I need to get some air, so...

Stop playing. Come and watch
the game. He's not getting

Eddie.
I'm not getting any.
Where's mama?

Asleep. Come and watch the
game. It'll make you feel
better.

I'm getting go out on the balcony.

Bad date, I guess.

Would you excuse me?
Certainly.

You could kill someone with that thing.

You want some?
Sure. Let me

Okay, so it wasn't your knight
in shining armor.

I wasted three months on that guy.
Doing what?

Internet chat?
Well, yeah.

That's good. At least you got
off easy. At least she didn't
sleep with him.

Move-in, give him your Xbox,
and then catch him

in bed with another woman.
That happens?
Twice.

Well, at least he wasn't married.
Michael was married?
Saw the tan line.

When will the last words my
mother said to me were?

I love you.

Oh, Joey.
Don't.

Everybody always "oh" me. I
just want

to feel again. I want to feel
that spark in my heart.

When my mother died, it was
like she took it all with it.

Only when I paint, do I feel something

and even then I can't even grasp it.

When the doctors told me mama
was dying, I didn't believe

them. I did everything in my

power to fight him, her,

and anyone else who told me
anything different.

I'm hurting, because

because I don't

know what I'm going to do without her.

I can only hope that when she does go,

her last words to me,

will be our love you.

Anyone else feel that it's too
cold for this?

I should've asked for a hotel in Mexico.
It's cold everywhere.

Baby, you got to forget about
that Michael. At least you know
what kind

man he is.
I feel like I could've done
without that knowledge.

Don't say that.
You should date someone famous.

So I can fail a more global scale?

Come on, were supposed to have a good time.

You just saying that because you got

laid.
Coffee anyone?

Well, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Oh my God, where have you been?

I've been busy.
All you all right? Are you in
any trouble?

No. What are you doing?

With mom stuff.

I... Why haven't you called.?
I wasn't aware that I had to
check in.

Well,

you don't. I...

I think we just need

to talk. How was your Christmas?

It was good.

I finished reading my science magazine,

polished off a bottle of wine.

How come we don't talk?
Because, you don't listen, dad.

What about school. You
have one more semester.

I'm not going to med school.

Then what? You're going to be,

graduating with honors with a
good degree in biology

in paint?
Yes. What's wrong with that.
Well, if you want to be like

your mom, can't you take it on as a hobby?

I mean, you could do something
that you love, and also as a
hobby.

And also be secure financially.
So this is about money?

Yes, money.
Your mom told me? Mom told me
to follow my

heart.
That's great. Have you thought
that through?

Have you thought
about how much money you can

make as a...
It's not about money!

Why is it any time we get together all

we can do is fight?
Because I'm always running
from you. And now I'm trying

to be honest with you. I'm not
ashamed of my decision. And if
you

think I'm going to fail, then just let me.
Well why can't you fail

at
medical school?
Dad! You are not listening.
Yes I am.

You want to paint. You want
to be a painter. I am an artist.

Like mom.
Don't bring her into this.

You... She... She was in her
last day... You live your whole
life

you've got something to offer.

Mom she lived she breathed and she

cared. And she loved, dad.

Oh God you're so thick headed,
you're just like your mother.

I think that when she died, You died too.

You compared me to her... I take
that as a compliment. You're right

you're right...

You're right.
Did you think he was going to
hit you?

No. He'd never do something like that.

You need to take your backside
over there and make

and mend that fence.
I know you didn't just say
that.

I'm talking about fathers and
daughters, not husbands and
wives.

There's nothing worse than
regrets you have when you don't
fix something

that can be fixed.
This isn't fixable.
I agree.

Shut up. Joey, baby.

He's not a bad man. He's just
carrying

about you the way a father
should be what's best for you.

So be honest with them.
I was, and he didn't listen.

The two of you are so darn hard headed.

I don't know why I even waste my time.

Desi am sorry...
Mama!!

You don't know how powerful
these people are, sweetheart.

No. Listen to me. If you know
something, and you go to the
FBI...

I can't go to the FBI. Do you

know how powerful these people
are? Dean Taylor

has a phone, a direct line to
the president of the United
States.

Then use it.
What am I going to do pick up

the phone and say, Mr. Pres. I
did invented

a cure for cancer, but the
company I work for, send care,
has

destroyed the whole lab.
Killed everyone in it.

You can't... Listen, they
believe there is a leak.

I can't be, I can't be exposed.

Then you have to get out.
Listen to me.

No, I can't get out sweetheart.
They'll think I am the week.

I'm too close right now.

We can do this here. I still
have

the records. I just can't let
anyone know about it.

I don't care about them, I just
want to do it for you.

There is nothing, nothing we can do about

it, listen to me. Just get out.

Get out.

Dammit you're so hardheaded. I
can't believe your... No

I could save your life.

Joey! Joey! Please go to bed.

Please.

It's it's kind of late sweetheart.

I can't sleep. That's too loud.

Come on. Let's go to bed.

Hey,

can't stop thinking about something
my dad said. Not now, Joey.

He said he was close to a cure.

For cancer?

Please... If there is a cure
or a poor black woman will be
the last

person on the planet to get it.

Call Jimmy.

Call Joseph.

Okay, what we need to do is to
break into the CRC mainframe.

They're the ones that bought out Syncare

a couple of months ago.
Seriously, how you expect to
do that.

Don't worry, I've got a plan.

All, this is a little tight on
me, do you think?

It's perfect.

I've got a work order for the main
terminal. Gina how to get there?

I could use an escort.

So, I tell the guy he has to
buy the car as is

I don't well let it go to the
next one in line. He tells me
well, I've never

but up as his card and as his price.
Unlike, look dude.

I don't do OBO, I do as-is.
And he says...

Look I get to get back
upstairs. Use the phone on the

wall if you need something.

Oh sure

.

Hey, dad!

This file from CRC using crypt
it. I can't get into this thing.

I found this file on my dad's
computer call the Jonas project.

What is that?
I have no idea but I recently
heard my dad talking to someone
about it.

What's wrong?

I told you what it was wrong.
So you can't crack it.

I'm not a hacker. Honey, eye
fix these things I don't break
into them.

You did a good job anyway. You
are amazing.

I was? You know this might be
impossible for me,

and I'm sure I know someone who can do it.

How many people do
you want to get involved with
this thing?

Trey.

Joella! Hi.

What are you doing here?

What you know about the Jonas project?

You hungry? Do you want to get
something to eat?

B ♪ ♪ ♪.
He will see you now.

Hi daddy.

Hello Daesay.

Sir, please.

What do you need?

Did you know mom's cancer came back?

How would I? You don't call me.
Neither does she.

Unless, of course you need something.
You could call her.

That ain't gonna happen. She
made it clear. Stay away.

You could at least call her and tell

her you are sorry for what you did.
What I did?

When I left your mom, she made
it clear she didn't want

to talk to me, or see me again, ever!

She needs closure.
She don't want any closure.

Besides, Denise wouldn't go for it.
That's Denise?

I have a full schedule today,
so if there's nothing else...

What if you regret not talking

to her, and she's gone. I'm
sure you have new

you have something to say.
That was a long time ago.

Those feelings are long gone.
Over.

She never forgot, and I never
forgot. I still remember

every day without you. And
that's something

else...
You need money?
I love you daddy.

And I forgive you.

What is that supposed to mean?
It's not a code.

You figure it out.

Would you stop that?
I'm sorry.

Thank you for our time together, baby.

Mama...

I don't want you to die.

I know, baby.

Still some fight left in me yet.

Can you do me a favor?

What do you need?

I want to go home.

Thank you baby.

I saw daddy today.
How is the S O B?

He said he's sorry. He just
didn't have the guts to tell
you himself.

You're lying. Thank you anyway,
baby.

So, you're telling me the Jonas projects

will control cell mutation and
replication at a genetic level?

We think so. We're not entirely
sure. We don't have all the
pieces.

Put together, your father...
Why would my father hide this?

Have you seen the sizes of the houses

of the people who own
the pharmaceutical companies?

They're like palaces. Do you
think they would

make all that money by helping
people? There's no money

in a cure. They they just want
to medicate people.

Just keep them alive, enough
that they can buy more, and
more,

and more medicine.

Baby, could you bring me my
pain medication?

Thereby your water. Is it bad?

I'll be up and add them
tomorrow. Baby I want to go to
Mexico.

I don't think we should be
traveling for a while, mama.

Just take me there.

It was a hot day...

in the beaches were white and beautiful.

We breezed through the doors of
the restaurant on the beach,

and there was a cold piña
colada waiting for both of us.

Keep going?

If my father had a cure for
this whole time, why wouldn't
he help my mother?

Fear? Maybe your father didn't
have the cure in time to save
your mother.

My father, presented the head
of Sincare, Dean Taylor with

all of the Jonas project

data, all of it. Within two
weeks my father was dead.

In the clinic in Mexico was
destroyed. And they said it was
an accident. Both.

No way.

I know this is a lot for you
to take in all at once.

I could really use your help.

Excuse me.

Joey?

Joella?

Come on dad pickup.

[Answering machine] hello,
you've reached Calton Cabral.

Please leave a message, and I
will return your call.

Dad, call me. Crap.

You could save his life.

Hey, Joe Ella. It's Trey. I
just wanted to make sure

you got home safely.

And to tell you that,

well, I was just...

I just wanted to make sure you
got back safely. If you need
anything, give me a call.

Okay, good night.

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

Hey, Trey. It's Gunther. Have
you checked your email this
evening?

No, why?
Everyone just had an email
from Calvin Cabral.

[Phone ringing]

Hey.

Joey, Dae, are you okay?

Is Desi okay?
No, she's fine. You need to
turn on the news.

I don't own a TV, you know
this. [Knocking at the door]

There's someone at my door.
Can you hold on a second?

Did you leave something in my apartment?

A present or something?
No I didn't.

All right. Can you hold on a second?
Joey...

Hi, are you Joey Cabral?
Yes.

I'm sorry to inform you, but
we found your father deceased.

Sorry guys, the cemetery is closing.

Cemeteries don't close.

Wow.

You get a be okay?
Yeah.

It's okay. Go ahead and talk
to him.

He can hear you.

Dad,

I'm so sorry for all the times
that we fought.

I cherished every minute with you.

I love you.

I'm sorry I missed the
funeral. I've had a lot of very
important things happening.

So why are we here?

I want to meet someone. Holá.
Mr. Trey. Como estas?

Muy bien, guapa. Marissa, this
is my friend,

Joey. Joey, this is Marissa.
Twelve years ago, Marissa
underwent a clinical trial

in Mexico. Called the Jonas
project.

The project your father and my
father started at Syncare.

She had full-blown leukemia.
And as you can see now, she's
healthy, strong...

And cancer free.

How is this possible?

It's we had to keep her
Marissa hidden, because we
believe Syncare attacked its
own research facility.

On the night your father was killed,

he sent me an email. It was a
detailed copy

of the Jonas project.

He cured cancer. That's why
they killed him.

After our hard-fought battle with the FDA,

and our difficulties in our
Pittsburgh plant, and what
seemed like

endless negotiations, the
Chinese have finally

consented, and come on board
with RD forty-seven.

Thank you everyone, for your hard work

. Excuse me, excuse me!
It'll only take a moment.

Ms. griever call security.
Trey what the heck are you
doing?

Sophia Augulara.
What is this?
Sophia Died yesterday

of leukemia. She was only ten years old.
She's one of seven point 6
million people

who die every year, from
cancer. but not anymore.

Where did you get this?
You murdered a lot of people
to keep that quiet.

Not to mention all of the
lives you could've saved.

You can't accuse us of murder.
As a matter of fact we can.

This proves nothing. This is just a report
written by Calvin Cabral. You murdered!

The Jonas project is out there
so there's nothing else to
cover up. No one else to kill.

Get the hell out of here!!
Excuse me.

I will keep this in litigation
for twenty years, you little
prick.

I'm looking forward to it.

[Voice on phone] hey, Joella.
Trey,

Thank you.

Hey, Dae.

Hey, Joey. I thought you'd be
on the road by now.

I had to make one more stop. I
think this,

is yours. If I brought mom's
death, I wouldn't be respecting
her life.

Thank you.

Joey? I thought you'd be on the
road by now.

I'm going right now.
Go pick up some of those
cookies I made this morning.

I'll walk you out. I'm going to
miss you.

I'll miss you too.
Thank you for everything you
did.

Thank you.
Oh baby...

Take care of yourself. Call us.

So? Where you can ago?

I don't know. I was thinking I
might head to the coast.

I hear they know a thing or two
about art there. But I'll be
back to visit soon,

now that I have a new friend
over in West Texas.

You talking about tray? Are you?
Maybe!

Well, wherever you go, be safe.
Don't be stupid.

I won't. You keep me updated about mama?
I will.

See you later.
See you later, Joe Ella Cabral.
