- Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus. - [Women] You're so good!

- If you could turn with me

to the book of Genesis. - [Women] Uh huh.

- You know, I was in my study this morning

and I was praying and

I wanna talk to you on the subject of, uh,

from the pit to the palace.

- So brother, how was the three o'clock service?

- Hey pastor. - Oh, excuse me.

- Amazing service pastor. - Thank you.

- I just love you.

- Oh, I love you too, sister.

- Hey, deacon, how are you? (Pastor laughing)

- So wonderful to see you. - Hey, good to see you.

- Thank you so much, God bless you.

- God bless you.

God bless you. - God bless you.

- I had such a good time today.

- I, oh, good! Good, good, good.

Thank you.

Hey, you tell your mama, I said hi, all right?

- Okay, I will. - All right. Thank you.

(chuckling) - Thank you for coming.

- Thank you.

- All right.

Yeah, how was that?

- (speaking faintly) It was about 300 people in.

We, I'm sure we collected at least

uh,

about 10 grand.

- Hey, that's, all right, all right.

- Hey, pastor. - Hey, how you doing?

- Here's your water. - Oh, thank you.

- You're welcome.

You know,

that was a powerful word you talked today.

You know,

I know the angels in heaven are just rejoicing.

Mm

and God

is very well pleased.

- Well to God be the glory, sister.

- Yeah.

Glory to God.

Uh, pastor, is there anything else that I could do for you?

(women clearing throat)

- Pastor,

we need you to sign off on the count

for the deposit tomorrow.

- Thank you for the water, sister.

Is there anything else?

- Yeah, but um, I would like to talk to you in private.

- Well, uh, make an appointment,

just like everybody else.

You know, pastor's a busy man

and we can't make exceptions for just

anyone.

- Okay.

(Sister Brianna chuckles)

- I'll be so glad when Satan come to collect

this little minion

and get out pastor's face.

- It's the loose ones running up on the men of the church

with the Jezebel ways. - Mm hmm.

I just wish the pastor would put her out of God's house.

- And you know what I wish you would do.

- Mm? - Shave that mustache

above your top lip

or at least line it up

to where it met your goatee.

- You are dis respectful harlot.

- Right?

- There's a special place for people like you.

- Right, right.

Right up on the elder Allen. (chuckling)

Oh, and the next time you talk to him, let him know,

I need my money up friend, okay?

All right. (giggling)

- She need to be baptized.

- Hey, sister Brianna.

Have seen my daddy?

I don't know.

Ask sister Shaunie.

- [Together] Shaunie?

- Girl you lying.

- I can't stand her.

- Mm.

Stop.

- Why you let her get to you like that?

- Because Hosea,

it's like,

(scoffs)

everyone else can see what she's doing

and you don't stop it.

It's like she done sunk her acrylic nails into

every other man at this church.

And you keep letting her think she has a chance.

And until you stop that, she's gonna keep trying it.

- I have never,

never

given in to any of her advances.

The whole church knows who she is.

And they know they never seen me be anything

but professional with her.

♪ Who made this?

- And that better be all you ever are with her.

- That's right. (R&B music begins)

♪ Lay it down

♪ I'm a real one

(Hosea sighs)

Hey. - How are you?

So finals are coming up soon and

me and Mila are gonna go to

her house to study.

a college graduate.

- Yeah.

I can't believe it either.

You know, one semester left.

(Haven chuckling) - Yeah.

You just make sure you don't stay out too late, all right?

- No, of course not.

Love you daddy. - Mm hmm.

You know, but you're right though.

I can't stand her.

And what is she even doing at the church?

She used to go on somewhere.

- Uh-uh.

Where did that come from?

- Calm down.

I'm just saying,

you know, she been trying to get close to your daddy

so that she could be first lady.

Deacon Jones can see it and he's blind.

- That woman ain't even my daddy's type.

- And he definitely ain't hers.

- But what's that supposed to mean, though?

- Look, any woman would be lucky to have my daddy,

even Shaunie's little gold diffing self.

- I know!

I know your daddy's a good man.

Just not what she's used to.

- Mm-hmm.

- Remember how I told you how she doesn't say anything

when I be giving her hell every time I see her.

- Yes, but you never tell me why.

- Well, imagine this,

me and Keem booed up in the trap house

and then boom!

In comes the pastor's assistant trying to buy an eighth

and some percs.

Mm-hmm.

- Uh-uh, I know you lying.

- Mm, nope.

Why you think she don't be saying nothing to your daddy

when we give her hell?

Little honey ain't stupid.

She knows if she comes for either one of us,

I will crash her whole face.

- Mm mm, nothing's sinning up in the church.

Look at. - Mm-hmm.

- Hey, pull over real quick, pull over, pull over.

Everything guess it'll fall into place.

You know. - Hm.

so we could spend time together.

- (groans) Ah, baby. - Ah.

- You are

right.

You're right.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

- Mm-hmm.

That's what I call to do.

- But daddy, your first ministry is at home

and you're hardly here.

- Ouch.

(Hosea chuckling) - [Haven] Ouch.

- Using my own teachings against me.

- [Haven] Hm.

- I guess you have been paying attention in church.

- Have I, now?

- Uh.

How about this?

After this weekend,

I'll take some time off

and the three of us can hang out.

- The three of us?

- Yeah, you, me, Shaunie.

- I'll pass.

- Come on now.

Why you gotta pass, baby?

- I'll pass you.

You go on to your ministry, dad.

I'll see, when you get back, safe travels.

Will you be back tomorrow or whenever?

It doesn't matter.

Love you.

- I love you too. - mm-hmm.

- [Haven] Coming!

- Hey, best friend! - Hey, girl!

(door knocking) (Asa speaking faintly)

- [Fangaz] It was you, bruh.

Should have left your ass in the car.

(door knocking repeatedly)

(knocking continues)

- Nice house.

- Girl, I can smell that chicken all the way out here.

- Uh-uh.

- What is this?

- What?

You too good to let a nigga up in your house?

- Aye, bruh, don't. - What?

- Don't do that.

- Listen little ugly.

It ain't got nothing to do with me

being better than anybody.

It's a simple fact that

my dad don't even play these type of games

and Mila,

you know what would happen if he came back here right now.

- Girl, that's not gonna happen.

The last thing your daddy gonna do is come back here

with Shaunie in the car. (Haven scoff)

- What do you mean with Shaunie in the car?

My daddy went to go do ministry.

- Ministry?

Is that what they callin' sneaky linkin' these days?

'Cause our show did see them get on I-75 on my way here.

- Yeah, we did.

- Okay, come on, y'all.

Hey, best friend. - Hm, best friend.

- Smell like chicken, mm.

- Hey, you. (smooth jazz music)

- Hey, you.

- Good to see you.

- It is.

- It's nice place you got.

- Thank you.

- After you.

(Haven sighs)

- The chicken. - Man, that shit

better be good, the way you keep

talking about it. - It is! I promise you.

- What is wrong with you?

- What?

- Why you bringing these strange men up in my house, Mila?

You know, we don't get down like that.

- [Mila] They're cool people.

- [Haven] Says who?

- I've been talking to Fangaz for weeks.

- So.

- He's cool and so is Trouble.

He asked about you the other day?

- No, he did not.

That man doesn't know much about me from

the conversation we had three weeks ago.

- He did too.

And judging by that smile you're trying to hide

I can tell you glad about it.

(Haven mocking Mila)

Mm-hmm.

- Oo. - Okay.

Sooner or later.

- Can I get some hot sauce or something?

What?

- Is it good?

Would you like something to drink too?

- Mm-hmm.

- Trouble, would you like something to drink?

- Water?

- I'm saying, though you,

and the only person that you gonna offer something to drink

is this fool?

- [Asa] Bruh.

For real?

- First of all, don't cuss in my house.

Secondly,

the reason why I didn't ask you

is because we don't have enough Proactive cocktail

to clean up that face of yours

from the inside and out so. (all laughing)

- [Asa] God damn.

- Okay.

I told you to stop coming from my boo like that.

- (chuckling) And now see that's why

Keep on taking up for me like that, girl.

Keep it up, keep it up, now.

- Get what from overseas?

- A baby.

Because you having one with that one right there

is not the move. (all laughing)

- [Asa] Pull up.

You just got here.

You not about to come from my sister.

- I'm gonna go. - Haven.

Bruh, you see that?

That's some foul shit, bruh.

- What, bruh?

- Call her a bitch in her house.

- Definitely.

- Nigga, we were supposed to be boys, though.

(Mila sucks teeth) - We boys.

We are boys but that's why I can tell you why you wrong.

That shit a foul, bruh.

- Let me go check on her.

- Nah, let me.

- Second door to the left.

- Captain save a, hmm.

- [Asa] Get your mans. - Shut up.

- We gonna talk. - Why don't you say that?

- Because she ain't gimme no hot sauce and I'm still upset.

What?

(Haven faintly praying through tears)

God, let me know that you're here.

(crying)

- Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, shh.

Come here, shh.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

(breathing heavily) (Asa shushing)

(whispering faintly)

Come on, breathe with me, breathe with me.

Breathe with me.

Breathe with me.

(both taking deep breathes)

Come on.

He, he gonna be him.

He ain't mean it.

He didn't mean it.

- Yes he did.

- No, he didn't.

Look, no he didn't. - Yes he did.

- No, he didn't.

He didn't.

He didn't, I promise.

Now you may now see it right now but

Fangaz ain't mean that stuff he was saying.

You just crushed his little manhood.

(Haven laughing) That's it.

About his future child and (chuckling)

that sh,

I mean, that stuff was low key funny.

(both laughing)

- Right? - Just a little bit.

- Yeah.

Just relax.

Don't worry about him.

What are um,

what are those?

- Uh, my writings on the wall?

- Yeah.

- Um, those are my prayer requests.

- That's like that lady from the movie

where she sat in closet the whole time.

She actually told him how to pray.

- War Room? - War Room.

(Haven laughing)

That's it.

And my grandma, she took me to it

as soon as it came out.

I didn't, I didn't want to go

but

she wasn't having that.

- Sounds like she don't play.

Not even the radio. (Haven laughing)

- You gone see.

- Mm.

I wish I had someone to spend time with me like that.

You're lucky.

- I mean, from the pictures on the hall look like

you had a pretty good life to me.

- Oh.

Material things don't move me.

My dad spends all his time to the church and everyone else.

He doesn't really have much time for me.

Those material things,

they don't move me.

He uses those to fill the void.

I guess.

- Where you're old lady?

- Huh?

- Your mom.

Where your mom?

- Oh uh,

yeah.

She died when I was three.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

- Yeah.

What about yours?

- She died house two.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

(sighs) I guess we have more in common than we thought.

- Yeah, let's get me at this war room

(both laughing) (cell phone ringing)

before I turn it to one of them ladies

(Haven laughing) from the movie.

(cellphone ringing) - Oh shoot, um.

My dad's calling.

Okay so if I don't answer, he's gonna send

Mrs. Easley from the church to come check on me.

- Okay, I'll give a little privacy.

- No, no, no, stay. (cellphone ringing)

- All right.

- Hello?

And before you ask daddy, yes I'm okay.

- [Shaunie] Did you tell her yet?

- [Hosea] (sighs) Not yet. - Hello?

- [Shaunie] Well, you better hurry up.

- Daddy. - [Shaunie] We don't have long

and I refuse to walk down this aisle with a big stomach.

- [Hosea] Yeah, yeah, well, um.

- [Shaunie] I'm not bringing this baby

into this world, unmarried, Hosea.

(Asa clears throat) - [Hosea] Baby.

I got you.

(phone beeps)

- Haven.

You okay?

Haven.

You all right?

(door knocking)

- Yo.

Yo, Haven.

Haven.

Yo, real quick uh,

I just wanted to apologize about earlier.

That was my fault, for real, for real.

- (scoffs) It's fine.

You're good.

Uh, Mila, do you have any of that famous juice of yours?

- Uh, are you sure?

'Cause you know my drink is strong.

- Yes or no?

- [Mila] Okay.

You good? (sucks teeth)

- Haven.

(gulping)

(Haven coughing) - God damn.

- Haven.

- Ah, slow down girl before you end up flat on your ass.

- (gasping) Jesus.

- Uh-uh, don't call on him now.

It's too late for all that. - Yeah,

why trying to kill yourself,

trying to hang with us?

- Maybe they hang with me.

- Mm. - [Haven] Mm.

- Mm, now's it's party of y'all.

I got these edible too.

- Mm, that. - Okay.

- All of that. - Y'all want in?

- Yeah, definitely. - Yes.

- I won't. (Mila laughing)

- This is your apology.

- That right? - [Haven] Thank you.

- Shit, they doing their own thing,

might as well do our own thing.

- Mm.

- Slow down.

I just pray that you will forgive me.

I don't know why Asa was brought into my life,

Hell, Chop killed Trouble mama.

They said shorty got killed at a, a store

Went down south, Chop finds out.

Sent his niggas to go handle that.

- Okay. - You look amazing

and Trouble's gonna love it. - [Haven] You think so?

- [Fangaz] Hey, beautiful.

- Hey handsome.

- I love this look on you.

- Thank you, yeah, you know, um

Mila's starting to do her little hair braiding thing

and now I'm her walking guinea pig.

(both laughing)

But, uh, I kind of like it.

- Yeah, it's fire.

It's fire but that's not what I mean.

- What do you mean?

- I love this look of confidence on you.

- How come you don't ever say nothing like that to me?

- (sucks teeth) First of all, baby,

that's corny.

All right, baby, I'm a big gangster.

Big gangster.

- You get on my nerves

so bad. - The biggest gangster.

I'm the biggest gangster.

Yeah, he'll tell you.

He can vouch for that, yeah.

For real.

- [Mila] You get on my nerves so bad.

(Haven giggling) - This guy.

- Are you ready? - Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- (sucks teeth) Yes.

Okay, just.

Okay. (Haven giggling)

Daddy.

- Hey baby.

- Hey, thank you.

- (chuckling) Who's this?

- Okay, um, daddy.

This is Asa. - Mm.

- Asa, this is my dad,

Pastor Reynolds.

- Nice to meet you young, man.

- Nice to meet you, sir. - Mm-hmm.

- So, uh, you go to school with the girls.

- I do.

Um, we actually take a few classes together.

(Shaunie clears throat)

- Excuse me, sorry.

My throat is dry.

I'm gonna go get some water, I'll be right back.

- So, uh,

how's your grades, Asa?

- Daddy, you don't have to do that right now.

- It's cool, beautiful.

It's cool, I don't mind answering his questions.

I mean, if it was my only daughter

bringing me some guy I never met before,

I'd probably be the same way.

But to answer your question, sir,

I've been an honor student since the ninth grade,

before then I was a little rebellious acting out.

'Cause I missed my mom, - Mm hmm.

- But my granna sat me down and explained to me

how important school was.

- Hmm.

- Ever since then

got it together.

- (chuckling) That's nice.

Nice. I like that.

We're gonna have to have you over to the house for dinner.

Me and you can talk. - [Asa] Yeah.

- Get to know each other a little bit more.

- Yeah. - Yeah, I like that.

- Well, I ain't gonna keep you, baby girl.

I know you got to go do your thing.

- Yeah. - All right.

You don't try to stay out too late.

- I won't, we'll be home on time.

- Mm-hmm.

- Nice to meet you.

- Same.

- Asa.

- Pastor Reynolds. - Hmm.

- See you later, daddy.

- All right, baby.

- All right, all right, preach.

- Yeah. (Haven laughing)

- [Haven] That kind of went okay.

- [Asa] It was good. - [Haven] Slightly.

You know. - [Asa] It was good.

(indistinct group chatter)

- Oh.

- Yo, why you leave like that?

- Oh baby, I told you I was thirsty.

I had to go get a drink of water.

My mouth was dry.

You would've heard me

if you were listening to me and instead of Haven.

- Don't start with that.

You know when my daughter is concerned, it's about her.

- (scoffs) Yeah. - All right.

- Yeah, you right.

- But what about when this baby gets here? Hm?

Is this baby gonna get that same treatment?

Hm? And does, does Haven even know?

- When this baby gets here,

I'm going to treat her the same way.

- Mm-hmm, you better.

'Cause one thing I won't have

is my baby feeling inferior to Haven.

You don't have to worry about that.

- Uh-huh, okay.

It's not the right time.

No, no, when you're gonna tell her?

You gonna wait 'til I'm pushing or something?

- I got it, baby, okay?

I promise you, I'm gonna tell her.

- Okay.

- Who was that on the phone, when I came in?

- Oh, nobody.

It was a wrong number or something.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm, yeah. - Okay.

(R&B music begin)

Well, let's get this done.

So I can get you home

to get you something to get rid of that attitude.

- (scoffs) Why we gotta wait 'til we get home?

(secret door opening)

(mischievous music)

- I'ma have pastor singing in tongues tonight.

Who me?

Yeah.

(tense music)

(Hosea and Shaunie moaning)

(trashcan tumbles)

- Oh, God.

(keys hit ground) Get it together.

Get it together.

Get it together.

(hip hop music) (indistinct party chatter)

(car horn honk)

- Okay, it's lit!

- Damn, girl, it's about time y'all pulled up!

- Girl, you know uncle Hosea was not about

to let Haven go nowhere without him meeting Asa.

- I'm saying, though, who the fuck is Asa?

- This nigga, old bubble gum name having.

- Man, watch out, you know my mama

named me after my grandfather.

- (mockingly) You know

my mama named me after my grandfather.

(all laughing)

No, pastor, that can't be true (indistinct group chatter)

- Oh no, no, no, this a misunderstanding.

I just don't.

I have, I, (faint chatter continues)

I have this, mama.

I'm sorry.

I, I do not know what you're talking about.

We already have a full confession

from a miss

Chinirika Stanberry.

- I'm sorry, officer.

- Detective.

- Detective.

I do not know a miss Chinirika Stanberry.

- Oh, that's right.

Just like these good unsuspecting people

don't know you as the infamous Keys.

This is a misunderstanding. (group chatter rises)

This is a misunderstanding.

What are you doing here?

Coming up here.

That's my daughter's casket.

What are you doing?!

Oh, my god!

You better pray and you better pray hard.

They don't.

I know you weren't about to curse in church.

- [Woman] Oo! - [Bri's Mother] Oh, my god.

- [Detective] You have the right to remain silent.

- [Bri's Mother] Look Officer.

- Anything you say - Pastor.

- It's a misunderstanding.

- Can and will be used against used

against you - No officer, please.

- In the court of law. - It's a misunderstanding.

- Pastor, please.

Pastor, you didn't kill.

You didn't do anything to my baby?

- Get your hands off him!

- It's all right. (all shouting)

It's just a misunderstanding.

It's okay. (shouting continues)

- What have you done?! - He ain't done nothing

to nobody. - Oh my God.

- He ain't done nothing to nobody!

- Ye,

though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil.

For you are with me.

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

(gospel music)

You anoint my head with oil and my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all of the days of my life

and I will dwell in the house with the Lord forever.

Think you might have found your color.

figure I come and confess my sins.

(intense music)

I don't have time for this shit, man.

- Nigga, you got all the time in the world.

- [Hosea] Get out.

- You know what?

You was smart as fuck,

setting up shop at church.

God damn, I wish I would've thought of that shit.

Especially after you uh,

ran like a little bitch

after what happened with your baby mama.

And I never took you for a family guy either.

But you did a good job

raising that beautiful daughter of yours.

As fine as her, mama.

(chairs and table rustling)

Get the fuck off me, nigga.

- Stay the fuck away from my daughter, nigga!

(Haven crying)

I know, I'm sorry.

I know, y'all okay? - Thank you, Jesus.

Just worried about you, is all.

- I know,

I'm sorry, granna.

I just had to be careful.

- I know, come on.

- You all right?

- Better now that you're here

but okay what's going on?

What's, where's everybody is everybody?

Is everyone okay?

Have you seen my dad?

- [New Anchor] WTFGO, Missionary Baptist church.

Trapper turned preacher caught red-handed.

Turns out he was preaching lies.

I'm going pass it on over to our field anchor, Chad,

who's reporting live on scene, now.

Chad.

- Reporting live here from Missionary Baptist Church

where pastor Hosea Reynolds has just been arrested.

Charges remain unseen. - It's gonna be all right.

Just calm down.

It's just a misunderstanding, it's okay.

It's all right, calm down.

- [Chad] Mr Reynolds do you have any quotes?

- [Hosea] No comment. - But Mr Reynolds.

- [Hosea] No comment. (Haven crying)

No I do not.

- He, he.

He.

He.

I can't.

He's been an dope dealing liar this whole time.

- Just relax.

- You listen to me.

Your daddy,

he might be a lot of things,

but something tells me if nothing,

he does

love you.

Unlike that no good bastard

that killed

my daughter.

Not that man.

That man is Satan himself.

You see, my gift of discernment is sharper.

I can read anybody.

From the moment I laid my eyes on that negro,

I knew he wasn't no good.

I begged and I begged and I begged her to cut him loose,

but he had a hold on her so tight.

It almost suffocated me.

And then

she told me

for my family,

but baby,

the night you showed up on my porch,

I promise you, girl was like,

like granna had seen my angel straight from heaven.

- Thank you, granna.

- Your mother

is proud of the woman that you are becoming baby.

- I can't believe your father wanted to kill me.

Why? I had nothing to do with anything.

- That nigga ain't my daddy.

Just some nigga that nutted in my mama.

That's it.

Haven, the day that Chop showed me that picture of you

I literally was tripping.

I just met you.

And he talking 'bout, get close to you.

Get you to trust me.

I was supposed to bring you into him.

- Were you gonna kill me?

- Honestly,

I was just, I was just gonna listen to his orders,

but Haven something changed.

Everything changed, Haven.

Look,

it's not just because we had sex.

It's that conversation we had in your closet.

I knew you were a real deal

and I understand why you were sent to me.

I get it, now.

Look, it may have started out,

by some plan the enemy started,

but God turned it around for us.

- Hey, hallelujah!

Okay. Yes, grand baby. - Grandma.

- Oh, baby,

I'm sorry.

You know how I get what God shows himself approved.

I'ma hush.

- Is that what you' trying to tell me that night.

- Yeah.

- I meant everything I said Haven.

I meant it.

I just hope that you can forgive me.

- Okay, what about Chop? - [Asa] Look.

- What if he tries to kill me?

- You ain't gonna have to worry about him no more.

Okay?

My three girls are protected.

All right?

- What?

What are you talking about three girls.

- Granna.

You.

And my little princess baking in there.

(Haven chuckles)

- And here you go.

How do you know it's a girl?

- I don't, but granna said it, so

it must be law. - [Haven] Not granna.

(all laughing)

- We just gonna run with it.

We just gonna go with it but look,

we gonna start a new life.

Us three.

Our love,

honesty,

respect,

all that other stuff you were telling me.

It's over now.

Okay?

All right?

Don't worry.

I got you.

Okay?

(police sirens)

- [Guard] Reynolds.

- [Kidnapped girl] Get off me!

What is going on?

Please get off of me!

No!

- [Kidnapper] Ah, shut the fuck up.

(gunshots)

(bible thuds)

(Hosea exclaims)

- Love you.

- I love you too.

(intense music)

(inmates speaking indistinctly)

(dramatic music)

- You good?

(sighs) I'm so disgusted by these charges.

I won't even beat around the bush.

You're going down.

And if I have anything to do with it,

it's gonna be for a long time.

- Whatever, man

- I've seen people get arrested for

almost everything under the sun.

So the drugs and the murders don't really surprise me.

But what doesn't surprise me is that you

have the audacity to play with God

by claiming to be a servant of his.

You give good pastors

who are really about this life,

a bad name.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

Those things that you found,

don't belong to me.

And I don't know how it got there.

All right?

As a man of God,

as a man of the cloth I would never, never,

never do anything to disrespect God.

- Wow!

Unbelievable.

I stand in front of my congregation

every Sunday and Wednesday doing my best

to lead God's people back to him

and pray that I don't do anything to make them fall

while under my leadership.

I'm responsible for those souls that I'm teaching.

Do you not understand

that their blood is on my hands

if I were to lead them astray?

(deep breath)

- Those people are grown

and they're gonna do what they wanna do,

no matter what I say.

And if they were really so

holy,

they would realize that I picked out the scriptures

that hyped them up to make them fork off for money.

- They may be grown.

But what about your daughter?

- Baby?

What are we doing here?

- Get out.

is just that you still haven't told me

that you was pregnant.

Fuck is up with that.

- I was, I was going to, I swear I was, baby.

Just listen.

I was just trying to find the right time to tell you.

I thought, I thought that maybe if I told you the right way,

he would accept it.

(Chop scoffs)

- Believe this broad? (both chuckle)

- I, I'm telling the truth, baby.

Listen,

I just,

I know you weren't there for Trouble when he was born and

maybe this is our chance.

Maybe now we can be a family.

Maybe God is giving you another chance.

- (laughing) You said, God?

You talking about the same God that

you and that bitch ass nigga Keys is using

to pimp the saints whenever the door to the church is open?

(thunder roaring)

You talking about that God?

You talking about that God?

You funny as shit.

She funny as shit, ain't she? (laughing)

You is a funny mother fucker.

(Chinirika laughing)

- You know the only thing funny

is trying to reason with a man like you.

Shit, I should have been left your ass.

(tense music)

None of this shit is worth it.

And Keys,

would've been a way better daddy to this baby

than you could ever be.

Shit, he was a way better boss.

That nigga stole your dope.

Started from nothing and still leveled up on your ass.

(scoffs)

I see why you mad.

(gun clicks)

(repeated gunshots) (Shea shouting)

- Put that on God!

Put that on God!

- Damn.

I ain't see that coming.

(cocks gun)

Just like you didn't see this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

See you and Keys are alike in many ways.

Y'all both about money.

Get rid of any nigga that get in y'all way.

But the difference between y'all two is;

unlike him, you let your feelings guide you.

And you don't always know who on your team.

Big ass mistake.

- Nigga, I always know who I got in my squad.

- Really?

So tell me,

you knew Kenya's brother was on your team?

(thunder roars)

- What the fuck you talking about?

(gunshot) (Chop screams)

Ah shit!

- Bitch ass nigga.

- You bitch ass nigga! (gun clicks)

- Probably shouldn't have used all your bullets

on your little boo right here.

(chuckles) Imagine.

Just imagine

your mother gettin' the car the night before Christmas,

and the police telling her her only daughter being shot.

Nigga, you know how it feel

to hear the woman that birthed you

struggle to breathe after hearing that shit?

But oh, what a God we serve, right?

What a God we serve.

'Cause right when we rushed in,

the doctors told us they was able to bring Kenya back.

(cocks gun)

- Kenya alive?

(gunshot) (Chop yelling)

- Did I fuckin' say talk?

- You bitch. - Did I say talk?

- Bitch ass nigga.

- I made my sister a promise

sitting next to her hospital bed.

I told her my niece will be taken care of.

(chuckles)

Before I take my last breath

you and keys will already taken yours.

(Chop wincing)

- Nigga, you must have forgot

you talking about,

ah shit.

Nigga,

you was saying all that shit about

who all on everybody team you early.

You must've forgot who had on my fuckin' team, nigga.

(Chop winces)

If I don't show up as planned later on

Trouble and all them niggas gonna be on your head.

'Cause they knew I was coming to meet your bitch ass.

(wincing) Oh shit.

- [Man On phone] Is it done yet?

- Almost.

Your boy here seems to think

that y'all gonna be on my head

when he don't meet up with y'all later.

You know, considering the fact

everybody knew he was me.

- [Man] I thought you was calling to tell me

his body was stinking by now. - What the?

- [Man] After all the shit that he done caused us.

- [Chop] Fuck.

- Indeed. - Man, fuck that nigga.

- Indeed.

I'll pull up when it's done.

- [Chop] (whispering) Fuck.

- My mama's favorite scripture for as long as I can remember

was Galatians six and seven.

Do not be deceived.

God will not be mocked.

A man reaps what he sows.

Good or bad.

You reap the benefits of what you plant.

- Nigga, shut that shit up!

Don't nobody wanna hear no god damn sermon.

Nigga wanna commit a sin and it all holier than thou.

Nigga, you might as well go ahead kill me now, nigga, so.

- As you please. (gunshot)

- [Guard] Reynolds, you got a visitor.

(inmates shouting indistinctly)

Open cell five.

(cell buzzes)

- Baby girl.

You alive.

God knows I was worried about you.

- You was worried about me?

Were you worried about me when you lied to me my whole life?

(intense music)

- Haven, listen to me.

I don't know what you heard about me,

but I did

what was best for you at the time?

- (scoffs) No.

What was best for me?

What was best for me would've been

for you to tell me the truth.

What was best for me was be,

be for you to open your eyes!

For you to have not have lied and preached things

that you didn't even believe your damn self.

That's what would've been what's best for me.

But instead

you knew

how hurt I was

that I didn't have a mother

and instead,

instead of you,

instead of you

spending as much time with me as you could.

What was best for me would you for you to live

a life of honesty,

but you lied to an entire congregation.

I already lost my mother to cancer,

but here you are sacrificing your life and mine

every day

and you have to audacity to try to tell me

what's best for me.

(deep exhale)

You're right, baby girl.

I was selfish

and consumed with being the biggest kingpin to ever do it.

But your mama,

she really was the love of my life.

And I put her in harm's way too.

- What?

What do you mean, you put her in harms way?

(slams table) Dad,

what do you mean you put her in harms way?

Stop lying to me.

What? What happened?

- She didn't die of cancer, baby.

(Haven crying) Baby.

Baby, what's wrong?

Haven?

Baby.

Yo, guard, guard, get my daughter!

Get my daughter. - What's wrong with her?

- She's breathing heavy, man.

We was just talking right there.

I don't even know

what happened! - Get back.

Medic, we need a medic in here.

We need a medic in here.

Have a seat!

Sit down! (suspenseful music)

(Haven hyperventilating)

- What's her name? - Haven Reynolds.

- Haven, can you hear me? - [Hosea] Baby.

- She's hyperventilating. (Haven breathing heavy)

- Check her pulse.

- How far along are you? - [Hosea] Pregnant?

- Ma'am, how far along are you?

Yeah, she's pregnant, we have to take her to the E.R.

Let's go. - I guess you're not

the only one with secret.

(heavily breathing) - [Medic] Come on, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

(Haven breathing heavily)

- (gasp) Ooh, Mi's here.

- Man.

Oo, before I forget.

Ba-yow!

- Wow. What?

- It's my degree!

With

- Praise god! (Granna laughing)

- Yes, I'm so proud of you.

- Oh, my goodness, I actually did it.

I am so sorry that I couldn't walk with you

like we always planned, Mi. - Oh, I know.

That's why I didn't walk.

- What?

- Calm down.

You know, I wasn't about to walk that stage

without my sister.

- Oh.

- So this just means when we get our masters,

you better not be full of another baby 'cause we

gone twerk across the stage. (Haven exclaiming)

Ah, ah! - Aye, ah, ah!

(both celebrating)

- Aye, oh, baby mama!

Ah, ah.

Ah!

- Hey, what's wrong, babe?

Hmm?

- You open.

- What is is?

Baby you went and got your GED?

- Yeah.

- What, why didn't you tell me?

- I ain't wanna disappoint you just in case I failed.

- Maybe you can never disappoint me.

The fact that you stepped out on faith and took the test,

I am so proud of you.

(Asa sighs)

- All right now,

- Oh, okay. (Asa deep takes deep breath)

Okay.

- If you don't spit out that tea.

- Um.

Uh.

It says, (mellow guitar music)

it says,

that my baby passed all four sections

with honors! - (clapping) Hallelujah.

Praise god! - I passed?

Yes, look, babe! - [Mila] Yes!

- Ah! (both laughing)

- Oh, my God.

- Yes. - [Granna] Amen.

- I'm so proud of you.

- Thank you for not making me feel dumb.

Talking down on me.

Granna you too.

That really helped me.

- I will always believe in you

because I know for a fact that

God has higher plans for you.

Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Mm.

- Look, I know, God got something better for me.

- Oh?

- 'Cause instead of going to just,

you know, regular college. - Mm-hmm?

- I'ma go to seminary school.

- Oh, hallelujah!

Won't he do it?

- No he didn't! - Go head, grand baby!

Yes, Jesus. - [Haven] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ah!

Okay, so what's going on?

Oh, what's going on?

- I think I met someone.

- Child, you think or you know?

- You know what I mean?

- No, I don't know what you mean

because you definitely pick the crunchiest men

I've ever found, - Uh.

- in your entire life.

So tell me

which creature from the Bikini Bottom

have you chosen this time? (laughing)

- If you weren't pregnant I would push you off this bed.

They are not that bad.

- They are horrible.

Like horrid.

- Mm-hmm.

- So. - Yeah, you right.

- Okay. - Justin did look like

he was related to Squidward.

- The way that he sounded! - (nasally) Squidward.

- (nasally) He was like, Mila, I love you.

(both laughing)

- Oh, I was so bad. - Oh!

Oh.

Ow.

- You okay?

- I think my water just broke.

- What?

Oh my.

- No, no.

Ow.

- Grandma! Asa!

Breathe, are you okay? - (heavily breathing) Yeah.

- [Both] What's wrong?!

- I think her water just broke.

We gotta go.

- [Asa] Uh.

- We gotta go.

- Boy, if you don't get your shoes

and get that damn car!

- Okay, I'll get it, all right.

Do, granna, do I need to the um.

- Boy that day dropped you on your head

is coming back to haunt me, move!

- He is something, is he? (laughing)

Oo, ooh, oo, okay, okay, okay.

(monitor beeping)

- [Doctor] You did great, Haven.

- Thank you.

- You too, dad.

- Thank you. - My babies done had a baby.

(soft chuckles)

- Oh my gosh.

I can't believe, I'm a mom.

- Oh, well believe it, honey.

And it's about to get real, real.

Wait 'til that child start waking up every two hours to eat.

- [Haven] Oh.

- And don't come looking for granna

'cause I'm going to be down Mr. Rufus' house.

(laughing)

Oh,

- This old lady ain't dead yet.

Besides Mr. Rufus as fine as he wanna be.

Look like a young Billy Dee.

- I know that's right. (both laughing)

- You know, I'ma have to,

I'ma have to go down and see about this, Mr. Rufus.

And see what he talking about.

'Cause granna you can't.

- You don't be out here hating on granna.

- Mm-hmm. (Haven laughing)

- I ain't hatin'. (granna laughing)

- Mm, you wanna hold her?

- Yeah - Yeah.

- Yeah. - All right, now.

- Come on, you got her. - Easy, grandson.

- Hold on. Hold on.

- Hold her head.

- Okay, okay.

(monitor beeping)

- Just like that. - [Haven] Daddy.

(Mila chuckling)

- What's wrong with you, baby girl?

- (sighs) Nothing, it's.

I'm so,

I'm so appreciative

of you guys all thank you with me,

it's just,

I'm just realizing that

neither of my parents are here to experience this with me.

- Look, I understand baby,

but I, I'm just grateful

you got an opportunity

to talk to your daddy and forgive him.

Forgiveness is everything, baby.

- [Haven] Yes.

Yeah.

- Now,

have you all decided

what you gonna name this child?

I mean,

we can continue to call her gorgeous

because that's exactly what she is.

- (laughing) Yeah, we did.

That's unfortunate that Haven's parents aren't here

to experience this with us but

we still wanted to honor them so

we decided to name her

Kenya Hosanna Thomas.

- Amen.

- Did someone say my name?

(granna gasps)

- Mom?

- Oh, that's the God I serve.

- Mom? - Yes, baby, yes.

(both crying)

(indistinctly speaking through tears)

- Oh, my good.

Oh, let me see my baby.

- Oh, you gotta meet her. - Oh, my god.

- Oh, look at.

(Asa chuckling)

- Oh, you're a grandma.

- You sweet beautiful baby.

(whispering indistinctly)

- [Kenya] Granny's here now.

(laughing)

- We did it. - We did it.

- Oh, look at.

- I'm so proud of you.

- Hey. - Asa!

If you had to taken any longer to open that door,

you was gonna have to change my diaper.

(Kenya laughing) - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- How you doing baby? - I'm good.

- You ain't keeping up no trouble, are you?

- No. - Okay, good.

Now, get out my way.

I'm here to see my granddaughter.

- Yeah. - Where is Gigi's baby?

- She's right here.

- [Kenya] Gigi's baby, come here to grandma.

- Here she is. - Bring her to me.

Let me see here.

- Hi there,

little Kenya benya. - Hey.

- Hi, stinker. (Haven sighs)

- Hey, Meech.

Let me holler at you

for a minute. - [Kenya] How are you

doing baby? - All right.

- [Kenya] Oh my goodness.

Did you know that your name was...

(Asa sighs)

- Man, they say

whoever killed O'Shea,

put two bullets in his body.

- It was three.

- Man, look.

I know you was O'Shea's right hand man for years,

but I need you to understand,

I need to make sure I can trust you.

- Look, man.

My business was with O'Shea.

Long as you take care of Haven and that baby,

we good.

- (chuckling) All right.

(hip hop music begins)

- Damn, fool.

How is he?

- Well, he's finally resting.

I'm surprised he's still alive

after all the blood he's lost.

You sure you don't wanna take him to the hospital?

- Look, no hospitals, no visitors.

Nobody can know he's here.

Just do what the fuck I pay you for

and keep the nigga alive, all right?

- Yeah, all right.
