Your father's Alma Mater. (Bishop chuckles) - Right son. Congratulations. - Thanks dad. Divinity school, but I didn't
apply to divinity school. - Honey I applied for you. You said you always wanted to follow in your father's footsteps, so. - Wow. I don't even know what to say. - Well, you can start
by thanking your mom. - Right, I'm sorry, mom. Thank you. - You're welcome. - Ooh, Charlene.
- What babe? - Congressman is in my
office, we gotta go. - All right. Almost-- - Congratulations. - Thank you, Dad. - [Bishop T.K] You okay? - Yeah, too much coffee today. - Kiss? Something? Anything, what? - Of course, sorry mom. (mouth kissing) Love you. - [First Lady] Love you more. - You look good in that blue mom. - [First Lady] Thank you sweetheart. - Get your ass outta there. (gentle music) - Ooh, I thought they'd never leave. - You may wanna consider going with them. Senior choir rehearsal starts
in about five minutes, so. Unless you wanna see all
your husband's friends in the hallway. - Well, do you wanna
hook up a little later and finish what we started? - Not gonna happen. - Oh, you don't get it do you? See we may have taken a
little break while I was gone, but we're not over. - Go home to your husband, Anita. You tripping. (crowd chattering) - Shorty what you doing here? - Planning on ordering lunch, I hear the burgers are amazing. What you doing here? - I'm meeting someone
and you're in their seat. - My bad, I didn't think
there was a signed seat around here, I can post up at the bar. - Oh, you need to go home. - Is there something you
don't want me to see? Is he... Girl, are you swirling? - And what if I am? You brothers date outside
your race all the time. And soon as a sister wants
a milk in her coffee, it's a problem. - You not taking me seriously
is a bigger problem. - Don't make me hate you, Shorty. Leave. - Well fine. (phone rings) - Where are you? No, no, no, don't come in. I'm coming round the back. We got a problem. ♪ Now all I wanna do is worship you ♪ ♪ All I wanna do is worship you ♪ ♪ All I wanna do is worship you ♪ - I'll be front with you here T.K. I have made a decision to
run for the Senate next year. - That's wonderful. Well, you know, you
always have our support. You'll make a fine senator. - Thank you. Now I've been looking at some things and I'm probably telling you
something you already know, but you had the fastest
growing church in this city. All your services are standing room only. People love you man. - Well, I appreciate that. - You are the perfect
candidate to fill my space in the Congress. Of course you're gonna have to split time between here and DC but
I know you can handle it. - Wow. Mike, listen, I'm extremely flattered, but I have never thought about
running for public office. I'm a pastor and I'm not a politician. - Frankly, we cannot
afford to lose that seat to Republicans. - Darling, I have all the
confidence in the world in you. And I say you do it. You do it. - It's interesting. Listen, I wanna take a
few days and pray on this. - [First Lady] Good, good. - If that's okay with
you and I'll get back to you in a couple days. - I respect that, for sure. (gentle music) - Tanisha. Tanisha. Tanisha. - What? - I'm hungry. - Come on Tyrell, just got
home from work two hours ago. I got you cereal yesterday and
there's milk in the fridge. Who ate all the cereal? Mommy and her friends? - They drunk up all the milk too. (Tanisha shrugs) (paper rustling) - $6.75. - I left my wallet. I live right down the
block, I'll be right back-- - I need the money. - You can't just hold it from me-- - You don't have a food stamp or nothing? I gotta go now. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - My man, how much is that stuff? - [Cashier] $6.75. - No, no, no, I don't even know you. I can't take your money. - Yes you can, I gotta get to work. - What he said I gotta go to work too. It's cool. - Thank you. - You're welcome. (papers rustling) - Thank you have a good day. - Change coming that
wasn't no tip brother. - Oh, okay. - Hey looky here, looky here. - Excuse me. - What's the hurry mah? - First of all, get your hands off of me-- - You ain nothing but a

I'ma owe you twice now, thanks. - Don't sweat it. - You know I live right down the block. I can just go get your
money, pay you back. 'Cause I really don't like to owe people. - I gotta go. Oh, but, you know what? A friend of mine is having a
poetry jam over here tomorrow. So if you are free, you can come on down, have a drink with me
and we'll call it even. - I love poetry. (Tanisha chuckles) Yeah. - Well in that case, instead
of you meeting me there, maybe I can come pick you up. - Are you serious? - Yeah, I'm serious. As long as you don't mind
if my girl come with us. Little group thing, you and me. - Okay no
- I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding, I promise I'm kidding. - It's a little too much. (Tanisha chuckles) - I'm Dante. - Tanisha, nice to meet you Dante. You gon take me to dinner too? - Why not? - I like Red Lobster just in case. - Red Lobster. - Mm mm - I do too. - Ooh. Well thank you. - You're welcome. My number's on there. - I see it. (Tanisha chuckles) - Bye.
- Bye. (door knocking) - Hey. - So I was right about him
wanting you to run for office. - Your always right about
those sort of things James. - Yes sir. - That's why I rely on you so much. That is also why I
worry about you so much. - Why you worried about me? - Are you seeing sister RJ Johnson? - She might have been by
the house a few times. Why, what she say? - Well, it's not her. It's what the women in
the church are saying. - Ah, well there you have it. See I think most of those
sisters might have been by the house themselves a few times. - James, listen to me. You cannot use the church as
your own personal eHarmony. - Oh my goodness.
- You understand? Church is not a dating site and you are a deacon for Christ's sake. - T.K, you're the preacher, not me. I only profess to being a
man looking for redemption. - All I'm asking you to do, is do better. Yeah you one of the best
deacons in this church and you're the only one I can seem to get the truth out of around here. - So stop worrying about my social life because I am not gonna stop being a man. (door knocking) - Hey Reverend Reynolds,
what can I do for you? - Bishop, Deacon. Just wanted to remind
you that this weekend I'll be going home for three days. - Oh, that's wonderful. Going to see your family? - Yes sir. - Well have fun. Be safe. - Thank you. - Check in with me. - Will do. (footsteps thudding) - Hey, that young man's
gonna go far around here. - That boy right there is
gonna be our next pastor when you retire. - Whoo, you better talk
to my wife about that. - Oh, mark my words, who else? - She's grooming Dante for that. - No. - Yeah. ♪ Ooh ooh ooh ♪ ♪ Sam called, caught me off guard ♪ ♪ Wasn't ready for the left hand ♪ - Probably take her out
to a romantic dinner or something like that. - Listen, I cannot believe
you about to go all out for this THOT. - So you sure you wanna put
the 26 inches up at the top? - I want you to just to
put a piece right here, make it fuller like ssh, you know, so it could be, yeah, up in the front. - So we bringing out the
real expensive fancy here for this guy, you must really like him. - No, I mean he aight. He aight. - Oh yeah, that's right, he aight. - [Tanisha] Yeah. - I don't know who you frontin for. I don been your friend
too long for you to know, he aight, I know you like him. - You about to ruin it
for every brother, man. I'm pretty sure she doesn't require much, but a bag of policies and a
little shot glass of Ciroc. - See that, this moment right here. Remember this, this is exactly
why Donna won't date you. (hand punching) - I just need him to know
that you are special, okay? Well if he don't, it don't even matter 'cause I'm moving away soon anyways. - What you mean you moving away real soon? - I told you I'm going to school. I got accepted in Norfolk State. - Yes. Yes. I forgot, I forgot. - Your sister is different. She's special. - So is Tanisha. - Man please. - You judging her cause
she's staying in the PJ. So what if she live in the projects? You gon like her when you meet her. I bet you though. (hand punching) - I mean this dude is
in a whole other league. Like he is so different. - And that's why you should go to school, get your education and I'ma hold him down. I'ma be like-- - See

- But you know what? - I'm just saying
- You crazy. We gonna get you your own man. - Well, I hope so and soon. - Hands off this one, all right? You hurting me though? - I won't do it tight. - Okay.
- Okay. - Where the needle at? (Tanisha shrugs) (upbeat music) - Honey have you heard from your sister? She is not answering her phone. She's supposed to be
running Bingo tonight. - Mm, no ma'am. She wanted to borrow my car
but I got a date tonight. (First Lady chuckles) - Well if you don't hear from her, you know, you might have
to cut that date short. - Oh ma, no. I can't. I have a date first one in a long time. (First Lady chuckles) - I'm sorry, didn't mean to laugh at that. But honey, you are activities director and the reason why you have that position because if we get into trouble, your father and I can depend on you. - Can't you find somebody else? (door knocking) (door opens) - Nisha, your company here. She almost ready, come on in. - Thank you. (footsteps thudding) (door closes) - You Dante right? - Yes ma'am. - So you got a cigarette? Sorry I don't smoke. - Oh well you got... You think you can gimme $8

Probably 10 minutes. - Sorry about that. - This Anita I hope she's the hostess at the restaurant we're going to eat at? - Yeah. - Yeah, about that. I'm sorry but I have to cancel. - What? - Something came up. - Oh hell no, you not finna
come up in here and play me. I've been spending all
day getting my hair done. That's what you're not gonna do. - I'm not trying to play you. Look, if you don't believe me, you can come down to the church with me. - Oh church? Wow. Oh my God. Mum you hear this bull? So what you telling
me, you a preacher now? Is that what you're telling me? - I'm the preacher's son actually. - Oh shit. - And the reason I have to cancel, is because I have to run Bingo tonight. - Bingo. - Boy, you can't come up with
something better than that? Bingo? Tanisha get this fool outta here before he make a bigger fool
of you than he already has. What, please? - You heard her. Get out my house. - Look, if you think I'm lying, come down the First
Jamaican Ministries and see. - Let me go ahead and

of Dante who works here? - And you are? - Oh, I'm sorry, I'm his friend, Tanisha. Are you his mother? I can see where he gets the good looks. - No, I'm not his mother. - She didn't mean

getting on my last nerve. - Well, apparently it's mutual. 'Cause I just heard him telling daddy that he's about to leave. What's going on with y'all anyway? - Nothing, that's the problem. He won't take no for an answer. - I think it's a little jealous
that you seeing somebody. I'll talk to him. - Bless my daughter Donna, who made this wonderful meal. - [First Lady] Yes indeed.
- [All] Yes. - Bless our wonderful
family and our friends who came by today. Thank you Lord. Amen. - [All] Amen. Amen. - Deacon and Anita, so
nice for you to join us. - Thank you for having us. - Dante you okay? You hardly touch your candied yams. And we all know how you love candied yams. (all laugh) - I'm good Bishop. - Aww, he's probably just
pining over that girl, he had at Bingo last night. - What girl?
- What girl? - Oh, and she was cute First Lady. - Really? (First Lady laughs) - But I don't know if I'd be bold enough to wear an outfit like that. You know how these kids are today, they need to show skin. Ain't that right Donna? - I guess. Dad, can I get the keys to your truck? I need to go to Keisha's to study. - Their in the kitchen. - So sorry to be rude
guys, college courses. - Well I for one I'm happy for you, Dante. The way the two of you were all hugged up. - Honey, they was just
showing a little affection. - Right, affection, that's the right word. - In church. Is this true? - It's not what you think, ma. I just gave her a little kiss. - Oh, Charlene, don't be bothered by that. The only person who didn't
think it was innocent was Deaconess Brown. - Great Deaconess Brown was there. Now the entire church knows. I thought, you know, some of the sisters were acting a little
funny after service today. - Charlene. - What? What? - Look, I talked to Deaconess Brown and I've taken care of it. - It's okay.
- Oh, you taken care of it? That means, you know, everyone knows. Wow. Thank you very much. - Charlene, calm down. Don't make a big deal out of it. - T.K I do not wanna calm down. Dante knows better than this. I mean, who is this woman? Do we know her? I mean, is she even a
member of this church? - No ma'am. I met her a few days ago. - Oh. - That looks all right,
we carrying on like that. Boy, have you lost your mind? - Son, you know, the way
a woman presents herself is very important. - [Anita] Amen. - It's also a reflection on you. - You're father's right Dante. Having a cultured woman by
your side is a necessity as you move up in this world. I mean, just look at your mother. - Amen. Amen. I think I did pretty well. - Yes you did Bishop.
- Indeed. - I appreciate that. - I'm gonna need-- - To the right woman in your life. (all laugh) - Hallelujah. ♪ Ey number tutti frutti

out of it or anything. - But isn't your father

I don't want it to be because I spend a little
money on a lobster dinner. - This better not be a game, Dante. 'Cause right now, I don't know if I should feel special or rejected. - If I were you, I would go with special. Definitely special. (mouth kissing) (car engine revving) - Girl I'm telling you like
at the end of the night, nothing happened. - What you mean nothing happened? - [Tanisha] Nothing happened. - Damn. So hold up, he didn't
handle no type of business, no nothing? - No type of business. And at the end of the night,
he kissed me on my forehead. And that was it. - Like a grandpa kiss you on the forehead? - Like a grandpa, girl, like a grandpa. I was thinking maybe he's just, you know-- - Gay.
- Like different. - He gay. - I got these flat irons,
I might sizzle your-- - Don't burn me. Don't hate.
- Your ear, will be burning. - [Donna] What up? (mouth chewing) - Hey. - Must have been a tough day at work. You used to eat cereal
every day after school. - Some things never change. (mouth chewing) - Can I ask you a question? - Yeah. - How do I know if a guy really likes me? (gentle music) (bowl thudding) - Well, (mouth chewing) he makes you a priority. If he really likes you, he's thinking about you all the time, so. He's gonna find out a way to let you know that he's thinking about you all the time. - Yeah, but what if he's told me that and I'm still not sure. - Watch his actions. Guys, we say a lot of ish. Is he walking what he's talking? 'Cause if he's really into
you, like he says he is, he'll make dog on sure you know. You okay? - Yeah. I'm okay. (gentle music) - You want some cereal? - No. - Okay, I wasn't gonna give
you none of mine anyway. It's going directly to
a bowl in the kitchen. - You're not funny. (door knocking) - Is somebody at the door? (door knocking) - Oh. - Well, somebody knocking.
- No. No, I mean we don't care. It's probably them bootleggers just trying to sell
some stolen merchandise and I don't want it. - What they be selling? - Girl everything, fake
Louis, fake Chanel whatever. - Yep I wanna see 'em. - We don't need it. - Nah.
- Ah-ah, I need it. - You so thirsty act though. Girl I got things to do,
you playing too much. They sold you some
flowers, see I told you. - No, no, these are for you. - For me? - Yeah. - What? - I guess cornball is not gay. - Well I told you,
didn't I try to tell you? Look at this girl. "Can't stop thinking of you. "I hope you're free for
Sunday dinner with the rents." - Bitch he's paying your rent. That's what I'm about. - No, no, no, no. He wants me to meet his parents. - Oh parents-- - That's big. - No that is. - That is big, right? (car engine revving) (gentle music) (water splashing) (gentle music) - Wow.
- What do you want Anita? - Yum, this is how you keep in shape. I' wanna know something. Since you are parading
around town with this girl as if she's the love of your life. Did you ever love me? (gentle music) (water splashing) - Yeah. I did. I did love you Anita. (gentle music) I'm also not the kind of guy that needs to have a building fall on him to let him know it's time to move on. - I got married for us. - Liar. - Come on, people were starting to talk and you and I both know that your mother would never let you be with a woman that was 15 years older than you. (Dante chuckles) - It's funny. After all that time we spent together, you still don't know me, huh? (gentle music) I would've fought for us. But you ran off and married that guy for money. (gentle music) (throat clearing) - I was taught that if
you can't marry for love, then you better marry for money. (Dante scoffs) - It's disappointing to hear you say that. Especially when you could have had both. (gentle music) - What has happened to family
values in our community? (congregation cheering) And what has happened to
family values in this country? (congregation mumbling) Family values have gone
to hell in a hand basket. - [Congregant] That's right, that's right. - We need a new breed of political leaders in this community. - [Congregant] That's right. (congregation applauds) - Come on somebody. (congregation applauds) So I'm here in front of my church family to say that I am running for Congress. (congregation applauds) (footsteps thudding) - Hey sister. (footsteps thudding) I thought that was you. I'ma tell you this just once. Stay away from my man. - Your man? - Mm. (Tanisha chuckles) - I met your man. Your man seems nice, real nice. But I prefer mine walking, so. (footsteps thudding) - You know damn well
what I'm talking about. - Well, if he's your man, why is he spending all his time with me? (hang banging) - Listen heifer,
- Bitch. You need get out my face - What you need to do is
- First of all - Whoo Oh, oh. Oh this low class heifer,
she's trying to attack me. Call the police. - Oh please. I know you started it, I
saw you follow her in here. - I didn't, I just came
into the bathroom-- Like any decent person.
- Let me make one thing very clear. The Bishop doesn't like
messiness in this church and neither does your husband. And do we really need to go there? (Donna shrugs) Didn't think so. (dramatic music) (footsteps thudding) (door banging) (Tanisha exhales) You must be Tanisha. - Yes. - Dante told me to look after you. I'm Donna, his sister. - Aa aw, nice to meet you. - What'd you do to her? - Listen. - Come on. - Thank you for that. - I know people are concerned
about gentrification in the neighborhoods, being
pushed out of their homes, being pushed out of their businesses. I decided to throw my hat in the ring and run for Congressman. So you're the first to know Martin. - I saw you and my sister talking too. - That's my girl. - I can see why my man is
giving up his players card. (hands clapping) - Tanisha, this is Shorty my-- - Best friend. All day. Every day. - All right, well nice
to meet you best friend. - Yeah. (Tanisha chuckles) - You know it seems like
I know you from somewhere. Have we met before? - No. Uh uh. I would've definitely
remembered somebody like you. - You know what it might be because y'all from the same neighborhood. - Yes, yes.
- That's right. - Same neighborhood.
- [Tanisha] Definitely. - You know we gotta get
going, we're gonna be late. So, I gotta get Tyrell and-- - Come on, I gotta feed these two, so. - Okay. I'll get with you later at Big Dog? - Absolutely.
- All right. All right. - Nice to meet you.
- I catch up with y'all later. - Uh huh, okay. - Yeah. (hip hop music) ♪ I'm addicted to the fast life ♪ - I think one of Dante's
friends recognized me and that's the last
thing I need is for him or his family to find out I work here. - So what? You just doing, what you gotta do. Ain't that church people
always trying to judge and then tell people, "Don't judge them." Just tell 'em you dance, so what? - Girl, are you crazy? I can't do that. I'ma have to quit. - So what about school? What about the money that
your mama took from you? How you gonna get that back? - I don't know. All right, I'ma have to
figure something out. (car engine revving) (Tanisha laughs) - So this is it. - Hey. I'm so glad you could make it. Welcome to our home. - I'm here. - Yes, well just remember
my mom trips on the regular. So don't take anything
she says personally. - You really think she's
gonna say something to me? - You know what, put this on. - Yeah. - And I think you'll be okay. - Are you serious? - Yeah,
- I don't. - Let's get that. - Slowly, your arm in that. - [Donna] You dressed up. - Thank you.
- Let me get the hair for you. There we go. - Okay.
- Right. - Much better. - Cool, let's go. - You ready? - Not really, but I'm here. So, let's do this. - It's gonna be fine. The behavior side... All right, Dad, Ma, I
want you to meet Tanisha. Tanisha, this is my
father, Bishop T.K Wilson. - Hi.
- Hey Tanisha. Glad to meet you, call me Bishop. - Nice to meet you Bishop. - And this is my mother,
First Lady Charlene Wilson. - [Bishop T.K] Come on in
- Nice to meet you - [Bishop T.K] And sit down
- First Lady. - Time to eat, sit dear. Sit. - [Bishop T.K] Come on
and sit down and eat. - Okay. - Dante, will you do the
honors of blessing the food? - Of course pops. All right. (throat clearing) - Thank you heavenly father
for blessing us with this food. For the care and nourishment of our body. - [Donna] Yes Lord. - Bless the hands that
prepared it as well. Those are my momma's hands, Lord. - Yeah. - And just, we just wanna thank you. In Jesus Christ name we pray. - Amen.
- Amen. - [Bishop T.K] Amen.
- [First Lady] Amen. - That was nice. Ooh. Thank you. - Charlene this is wonderful. - Thank you darling. - This is really good. - Thank you dear, I appreciate that. - So Tanisha, where you from? - I am from the Projects
right off of the King. If you're familiar, perhaps? - Yeah, I know, we have a
few parishioners from there. Don't we Charlene? - Yes we do. - Perhaps you're familiar
with Sister Wilma Johnson? - Hmm. No sir, that doesn't ring a bell. I don't think I do. - [Bishop T.K] Maybe you
know Sister Betty Dumps? - No sir, I don't know her either. - You sure you from that area? - [Tanisha] I know, right? - Excuse me about that, Sister Dumps is raising a lot of cane up over there. - Really, well I need to get to know her. (all laugh) - Is that a tattoo like
right above your breast? - Oh, yes ma'am, I have three actually. - [First Lady] Wow. - I've got this one, I have one on my neck and then I have one that's, you know, little undercover obviously. (all laugh) Nobody can see it though. (all laugh) - Wow, you know, back in my day, only Jezebels wore tattoos. - Charlene, we're not back in your day. - Well that was a different time. - So Tanisha, do you have a church home? - No sir, I don't have
a church home right now. But after hearing you speak last week, I'm thinking about joining
First Jamaican Ministries. You know the doors of the
church are always open. - Thank you and Lord knows
I need to make use of them. - Now, that's the first intelligent thing I've heard all night. - [Bishop T.K] Charlene. - No honey, no really, no. Her soul looks like it
could use some cleansing. - You know what the word says? That he who is without
sin, cast the first stone. - Hmm. - So dear. Did you know that Dante will be attending Howard University School
of Divinity this fall? He's becoming a minister. - A minister? - [First Lady] Yes. - I thought you told me
you wanted to be a lawyer. - A lawyer. (chuckles) God heavens no. Dante, what is she talking about? - Well, ma, I've been thinking maybe I don't wanna be a preacher. - You've been thinking, huh? What has gotten into you? I don't know what it is, maybe it's this tramp that you brought into my house. - Ma - [First Lady] You need to watch-- - That's enough. - No, you need to get
your head on straight. - Charlene. - [First Lady] What? - That's not necessary. - T.K look, no, Dante needs to hear this. Dante, of all the nice
girls in the congregation, you have to bring home this-- - What this tramp? I got it the first time. - Done, if the shoe fits her. - Ma what-- - No, no, no, Dante, it is okay. Donna, it was really nice seeing again. Bishop, thank you for your hospitality. - [Tanisha] First Lady. - Yes dear. - You have a lovely home. - Thank you. - Too bad we couldn't get a chance to know each other better, cause we both have something in common. We both love your son. - Babe I'll take you home-- - No, it's okay, I'll get home. You eat dinner with your
family, I'm gonna walk home. I have some things to think about anyway. - [Bishop T.K] Listen, let
me apologize for my wife, she's drank-- - Don't apologize for me. - Dante go get her. - Hold on. (footsteps thudding) How do you call yourself a Christian Ma? - Who do you think you're talking to? - I don't know. Clearly not the woman who raised me. She wasn't this tacky and judgemental. (chair drops) - And I'll second that. - [Dante] Tanisha. - You wonder why people are
scared of you at church? Where's the God in you? Didn't see it tonight. Should be ashamed of yourself. - Hey babe, let me take you home, okay. No no, let me take you home.
- Just leave me alone. - Listen, listen, I'm sorry. Okay, that's not a representation of me. Let me take you home. - That wasn't right. - No it wasn't. - And that's why I'm out here with you. Do me a favor, get in the car. I'm gonna take you home. - Okay? - All right. (car honking) (gentle music) (car engine revving) (gentle music) - Look, I'm really sorry about all that. And I don't want all
that to mess up all this, what we got. - And what is all of this that we got? - We got us. (gentle music) (mouth kissing) - [Man] Hey TT, something
going on with your mom's. - What? What the hell is going on? - [Officer] 25
- [Elena] Let me go You gotta get her, take
this picture somebody, I didn't do shit. - Take a step back, take a step back. Step back. - Hey TT, so hold up, you
looking for your little bro? - Yes
- They already took him. - Who?
- Who took him? - Child services. I tried to tell 'em you
be paying all the bills. They ain't care, they took him anyway. - [Elena] Help me. (suspenseful music) (footsteps thudding) (door knocking) (door opens) - Donna? - I need to talk to you. - Yes, yes, of course. But you know I'm always
here for, you know, Sister Susan was just leaving. Ain't that right Sister Susan? - Oh yes, that's right. So I'll see you later? - Absolutely.
- Deacon. - Absolutely.
- Donna. (footsteps thudding) - I knew this was gonna happen. I told you this was gonna happen. Why wouldn't you stop smoking? - I know, I'm so sorry. Look and I'm gonna get
some help, I'm really... So you gotta get me out. You gotta get me help, like right away. The bail is only a thousand dollars. It's just a thousand dollars. I know that you got money
saved up for a rainy day girl. Come on Tanisha, it's raining in here like a mother fucker. - Did you forget that you
smoked all my money up? - Get the money from Dante. - Are you crazy? - That fool, he loves you. He'll do anything for you. Tanisha, baby, you got to
get me the hell outta here. - Hey time to wrap it up over there. - Tanisha. (suspenseful music) - Goodbye Mom. Listen, I will put some
money on your commissary, but that's it. I gotta go to court now
and see if I can get Tyrell to even come home with me. - Tanisha help me. - Get yourself together. - Tanisha, don't try to hang up the phone. (Elena screaming) Okay, okay. - Child endangerment, possession
of an illegal substance in the home, mother testing positive. It's obvious we can't
send this youngster back in the home with his mother. Does Mr. Jones have any other
family requesting custody at this time? - Yes, Your Honor. His sister Tanisha Jones
has petitioned for custody. Ms. Jones, however, is
currently unemployed with no visible means of support. - I am afraid that may present a problem. - Permission to address
the court, Your Honor. - That depends, who are you? - Dante Wilson, Director
of church activities at First Jamaican Ministries. - Oh, are you Bishop Wilson's son? - Yes ma'am. Your Honor, Ms. Jones has
recently been approved for one of our help a neighbor grants. I'm not sure if you're
familiar with the program. - Oh, I know it well. I even served on the
board a few years back. - Then you're no doubt aware that our grant combined
with foster care funds will be more than enough
to allow Ms. Jones to stay at home and take
care of her little brother. - Custody granted, pending
home inspection and evaluation. Very impressive young man. - Thank you. - Have you ever thought
about becoming a lawyer? - Yes, Your Honor, I have. - I think you'll make a good one. - Thank you very much. - I'll have to tell the Bishop. This young man, his church and this court are placing a great deal
of faith in you young lady. Don't let us down. - Yes, Your Honor. Thank you. - Court adjourned. (gavel thudding) (gentle music) (door opens) - Sorry I'm late-- - Donna, sit down. (keys jingling) (throat clearing) - Hey princess. You look upset. Is there something you wanna tell us? - Oh, everything is fine daddy. Just-- (throat clearing) - If everything's fine,
you wanna explain this? Madonna Ree Wilson, I
asked you a question. And I want an answer. You pregnant? - So now you going through my garbage can? - This is my house. I asked you a question. - Princess. Come on. Are you? Are you pregnant? - Yes, I'm pregnant. I'm so sorry, daddy. I'm sorry. - I cannot not believe this. What are we gonna do? - Charlene? What's done is done. What we gotta do now is try
to make sure Donna's okay. - I want her outta my house. - Charlene. - You had to go and shame this family? I mean, ruin your father's campaign. Family values. Well, (scoffs) that's a laugh. - Okay. Okay. - [First Lady] How far along are you? - I'm not sure. Maybe two, three months. - All right, that's good. At least you know she won't
be showing for the wedding. - Wedding? Who said anything about a wedding? - Of course you'll marry. Your mom and I need to
talk to this young man. - Oh God, I'm not having
a shotgun wedding. - And I need to talk to him man to man. - No, daddy, you can't do that. - Of course I can. - She doesn't know who the father is. - [Bishop T.K] Charlene. Do you? - Do you want the names of the
five or six likely candidates so you can pick the best one to save your precious reputation? - You had to go and disgrace your father. And act like a whore. - Charlene. Charlene. - Daddy? Do you think I'm a whore? - No, I don't think you're a whore. But I do think you made a bad choice. - Wait-- - No Charlene no, no, no. - Stop it. - No. - I'm so sorry about this mess. It's crazy, I gotta clean it up because I have a social
worker coming tomorrow and if she sees this, I might lose Tyrell. And if I lose Tyrell, that
is gonna ruin everything that I'm-- - Stop. Sh sh sh, listen. - So much.
- Listen. You're not alone, I'm here. We can handle this, together. - Really? - Really. Think you'd be surprised
what I do for you. - I'm not too surprised
after what you did today. I really appreciate it. - You're welcome. - Just couldn't even keep
your damn legs closed, could you, I mean, how many times do we talk about this Donna? (First lady shrugs) Here. - What is that for? - An abortion. And please, please don't
get it in the city. Somebody might recognize you. - So now you expect me to get an abortion? Suppose I don't want to? - Understand this, Donna, you're not gonna mess
this up for your father. Now, you either tell me who
the father of your baby is. Oh God, so we can arrange a wedding. Or you take your little
butt to an abortion clinic. (dramatic music) (First Lady shrugs) (dramatic music) (Donna crying) (gentle music) - Donna. (gentle music) Donna. - Yeah. - Will you marry me? (gentle music) - What'd you say? (gentle music) - Look Donna, I love you very much. And I want you to be my wife. - Shorty, I can't marry you. I'm in love with someone else. I thought I explained
it to you last night. - I mean you did. But it doesn't explain
the fact that you with me and not him. ♪ Is there anything too

And are you okay, you don't look okay. - Oh really, I feel good. Now if you'll excuse me. - Donna. Hi. - Hey Donna, how are you? - I'm good, well, I hear
congratulations are in order. - Yes, this is Shawna, my wife. Shawna, Donna Wilson, the Bishop
and First Lady's daughter. - [Shawna] Oh, please to meet you Donna. - Nice to meet you and I hope
we can become great friends. I'm sure we have a lot in common. - Oh, I'd like that. - You know what, let me take you out if that's okay with Reverend Reynolds. - Well, of course, I
mean, but we'll probably be spending most of our time
with other married couples. - Well, isn't that a coincidence? My fiance and I were looking for a couple to hang out with as well. - Fiance?
- Fiance? - Fiance? - Yes, someone proposed to me too. - [Bishop T.K] And who is that Donna? - Who might be the lucky guy? - Shorty? - [Bishop T.K] Shorty. - Shorty proposed. (Donna chuckles) - Well congratulations. - Thank you. - [Rev Reynolds] Congratulations. - Congratulations. - Shorty, are you the
father of Donna's baby? I asked you, are you-- - Yes. Shorty's the father. - Good Lord. Why are you torturing us so? - No one is torturing you mother. Why can't you just be happy for us? - Because he's trifling and I will not have him humiliate
me with his trifling ways. And neither will you. - Charlene stop. - [First Lady] What? What? - That's enough. Now is not the time. They are gonna have a hard enough time raising a baby and finishing school. They need our support. Donna, do you wanna marry Shorty? Are you sure? - Yes, Daddy, I'm sure. - What about you? - Look, I love Donna, I always have. - Now's your chance to prove it. Welcome to the family. Listen Shorty, this is my only daughter. And I love her. You take good care of her, you hear me? - Yes sir. - Okay. It's gon be fine, it's in God's hands. - Yeah. Okay. (car engine revving) - Dante, I need your support. Shorty is your boy. - Exactly. I don't support this and I don't wanna go. - Can you do it for me? I need-- - Dante, have you seen... Oh Donna, there you are. Your father asked me to
talk to you and Shorty about your pre-marriage
counseling, you got a minute? - That's my cue, I need some air anyway. I'ma go, for you. - Thank you. (footsteps thudding) (door closes) - Donna, you can't keep avoiding me. - How's your wife? - Look, you can't marry Shorty. I won't allow it. - Won't allow it? - You don't love him. You love me. - Don't you dare touch me. I don't deserve this. You didn't even have
the decency to tell me. - I wanted to tell you myself, in private. - Oh, you, to continue
to play me for a fool. - No, I didn't want you to make a scene. - It would've been a scene alright.

(throat clearing) - Been trying to figure out the right time and place to talk to you about this situation. Man to man. - Yeah, did your sister ask
you about being my best man? (gentle music) - Told her no. How could you? Your supposed to be my boy. - Dante, you gotta-- - No, no, no, no. How could you do my sister, man? - D it's not what it looks like, man. Trust me bro. - I trusted you. My family trusted you. - D you, you know I would not hurt you, man. - The damage is done Shorty. It's a little too late for that. (gentle music) Shorty outta all the women that you know, Instagram models, strippers, you couldn't go get one of them. You had to go get my baby sister. - You know I've loved
Donna for a long time-- - I don't wanna hear that. (gentle music) You knocked her up behind
my back like a coward. - D I'm not a coward. I'm trying to do right by her. So I'ma be here, so you
gonna have to deal with it. (hand punching) - Yeah. - Whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey. What's going on fellas? - I have a question to ask you. Your father said that you're pregnant? - And? - It's my baby, isn't it? I thought you said you were on the pill. - Obviously it didn't work. - Well, you can't marry him. I can't bear the thought of
another man raising my child. - Prove it, leave her, marry me Terrance. We can raise our baby together. Together. - I can't do that Donna, not right now. I have too much riding on this marriage. But I'll take care of
the baby, I promise you. Just please don't get married. - Do you expect me to be an unwed mother? Are you crazy? I can't do that to my family or my baby. - Please Donna, I love you. - Selfish son of a-- - Donna. (mouth kissing) (hand slapping) - Don't you ever touch me again. I'm marrying Shorty and
there's nothing you can do to stop me. - Damn it Donna, don't do this. (gentle music) (door opens) (door bangs) (Donna sobs) - You look amazing. What do you mean you don't feel confident? - I don't know, I just
well, you would say that, but do I really have to go,
you really want me there? - I want you there, my
mom's not gonna trip. If she starts, we'll leave, I promise. - Promise?
- Promise. - So how you gonna act
when you see your boy? - I ain't got nothing to say to Shorty. - After a couple drinks,
you're not gonna go Mike Tyson on them, are you? - Mayweather?
- Oh my God, see. - Baby I'm kidding. I ain't messing up my suit. I'm too sharp I to be fighting. - You do look good. - Thank you, so do you. Let's go. - All right, let's go, I'm ready. - You mess around and get a different kind of touching this afternoon. - And do you Madonna Wilson, take Charles Mann to be your
lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold, to honor and cherish. So long as you both shall live? - I do. I do. - Then before all gathered here today with the power vested in me and through the grace of God, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.

- Oh. - The First Lady told the Bishop that she wanted you out of here. So if I were you, I would get to steppin. - I'm not going anywhere. - Tanisha. Darling, would you mind if I
speak to Sister Emerson alone? Just for a minute
- Of course. - Church business. - Yes, of course. We were done anyway. Anita, right? - Yes, it's Trumpnisha. - Oh, Dante. (footsteps thudding) - Well, it's a little drafty in here. Would you like to talk inside? - Mm. Oh, I don't think you want anyone to hear what I'm about to say. Stay away from my son and his girlfriend. (Anita laughs) (First Lady laughs) - I don't understand,
we were just talking. - Stay away from them. You understand me now? - She's the one you need
to be concerned with. She's not right for your son First Lady. A girl like that will
tear the church down. - And you and him, that's
right for the church? - Oh yeah. I mean, no. (Anita chuckles) I don't want you to get the wrong idea. See, I'm married and me
and Dante we're just, we're good friends and I just
don't wanna see him get hurt. - Is that right? Just friends. So you were just friends all those times you were in his office
with the door locked? Oh and before he got his car, when you used to drop him
off at my home at 3:00 AM in the morning. Anita, do you really think
you can have an affair with my son all these years
and I know nothing about it? At least you were safe. You had too much to lose, you know, to do anything crazy like
get pregnant to trap him. - I (throat clearing) I mean, what are you
trying to say First Lady? - I'm not trying to say
anything, I am saying it. You had your fling, it's over, move on-- - You can't possibly
approve of that (chuckles) relationship. Come on. - It's my business. Anita not yours. - You'll be happy I made it my business. When you hear what I've
learned about that girl. Do you know that she-- - Will you be happy if I tell your husband and make it my business? That, oh, Dante still
keeps naked pictures of you with his baseball cards. - You wouldn't dare. - Anita, I will do
anything to protect my son. Right down to whooping your
ass if that's what it takes. You want to-- (mouth clicks) - First Lady, you're making a big mistake when you find out the
truth about that girl, you're gonna wish Dante stayed with me. They look better on. (footsteps thudding) (mouth kissing) - I've been waiting all my life for this. Babe wake up. - 10 Minutes. - Come on baby, it's me Shorty. - Shorty what do you want? - I want you. Look baby it's our wedding night. - Stop. - Come on baby wake up. I'll be gentle
- Shorty I'm tired. (mouth kissing) - Come on baby, I thought we was going (mouth kissing) make this happen-- - Just let me sleep please. (gentle music) - Man we should talk. - Last time that happened,
I got punched in the mouth. - Kinda had it coming. I might have overreacted a little bit. Come on man, have a seat. (gentle music) I ain't gon swing on you. (gentle music) You really love her, huh? (Shorty chuckles) - Yeah. I really do. (gentle music) - I don't like this. I've known you too long, been
friends with you too long, for us to not be cool. And I guess if you gon be in the family and be my brother, I kinda
need to get over that. (gentle music) Welcome to the family brother. (gentle music) Not that it's any of my business, what you and my sister are doing, but why aren't you
upstairs with Donna man? It's your wedding night. - Yeah, she's exhausted man, with the baby. Man, she was calling hogs
before I can even walk out of the room. - You know what I meant
to tell you about that. I feel for you, you gonna
have to deal with that for about the next 45 years. She been snoring since she was three. (Dante snores) (both laugh) It's terrible, sounds
like the walking dead. (both laugh) Speaking of which, you know what, I'ma head out before Tanisha falls asleep that way at least one
of us has a good night. I'm in 1206, hit me in the morning, man. Let's all grab breakfast or something. - Cool. - Hey, so you really like Tanisha, huh? (gentle music) - Yeah, I do. Why? - I just think it's
something you need to know about your girl. - Shorty don't tell me you
slept with her too, please. - No, man, I... But I have seen a bucket naked though. - Your stupid man, it's not funny. We just got cool again,
you have the worst timing. That's not funny, man. - Bro she works at The Touch. She is a official stripper. - Oh, are you sure it's not just somebody who looks like her? I mean, that's a popular

She isn't who I thought she was. Just found out she was a stripper Ma. - Is she a stripper or was a stripper? See, cause I heard that she had stopped. - You heard? How did you hear?

an emergency meeting. - That's good. At least he's doing some damage control. - Bishop, he's asked
the board to fire you. - What? They can't do this. - No, they can't. According to the bylaws, they
have to have an open meeting and have me or someone
else speak on my behalf. - Yes, but they can still
suspend you without-- - I mean who is gonna run
the church until then? - Well, that's officially why
we're here First Lady Wilson. Reverend Reynolds has
been named acting pastor. I believe he and his wife want your jobs. (car engine revving) - Bishop, you've heard the
opinions and accusations and you know there's a motion
to have you removed as pastor. Before we vote, we would like
to give you the opportunity to make a statement. - [Congregation] Amen. Amen. - To the board and to
members that are here, I prepared a brief statement, but I will not be answering any questions. - I think you owe us all an explanation for your infidelity and
for the embarrassment you brought down on this church. - All due respect Reverend. I don't think I owe
anybody any explanations. Maybe my wife, maybe my
family, my son and my daughter. But the only person I feel
like I owe an explanation to really is God. As you know, I have served
this church faithfully for 17 years. And in those 17 years, we've
done some good work here in the community, in this
church, and all around this city. - [Congregation] Amen. - I wanna say that, I wanna say that this church, this church has been my life. And I am sorry for any indiscretions that may cause you some pain. But I will not stand here before you and deny my daughter. - So you admit that she is your daughter? - Yeah. That's my daughter. - Then that makes you an adulterer and unfit to lead this congregation. - Hmm. Let me say this to you all. I swear right here before you all and my Lord and master that I have never committed adultery. Now, fire me, that's what you decide. But I am at peace, knowing
that my conscious is clear. - [Congregant] Amen. - And I am right with my God. (congregation cheering) Thank you. (congregation applauding) - We need order, we need order. There's still a motion on the floor and we still need to take a vote. - I like to say something. - We know that you have
to defend your husband, but he has embarrassed this
church and wronged you. We are only-- - Please, do not. Stop trying to act like
you're defending my honor. Judas. If you would all indulge me, I'd like to share a story. - Deacon what does this have to do with-- - Reverend Reynolds. Please allow the First Lady to speak. - Thank you. - [Congregation] Amen. - Thank you. Thank you. The story concerns a
young man in Virginia, he was not a member of a church. He worshiped crack cocaine. He and his woman were totally addicted. The woman had a very bad
reaction to the drugs and slipped into unconsciousness. The young man feared that she would die. So he ran for help. He found it in a church
where a visiting minister offered his assistance. And he and that minister took that woman to the hospital and most
likely saved her life. She remained in a coma
for about three weeks. And every day that minister
and that young man, they prayed for her. The minister also, he
prayed for that young man because he too was fighting
against his own habits and suffering from withdrawals
from his own addictions. Now we all know God is good, amen? - [Congregation] Amen. - [First Lady] And we all know that he answers prayers, amen? - [Congregation] Amen. Amen. - And in two weeks, that young
man conquered his addictions and found the Lord. Young man went home to his woman, but his woman was not ready. And just as he was praying for her to please put down the
drugs and follow the Lord, she was praying to him and begging him to put down God and get back to partying. The young man knew that he was
in danger of losing his life. And so he asked that minister, could he go with him
back to his own church? Of course the minister said yes. So he left his woman and followed the path that the Lord has set before him. - [Congregation] Amen. - Now the minister, he had
a child, she got pregnant. Even worse, she had so many men, she had no idea who the
father of the baby was. As you can all figure out right now that the young man I am speaking
of is our very own pastor. Bishop T.K Wilson. The minister was my father and the wayward child, was me. - [Congregation] It's alright. - My father was devastated
when I got pregnant. I could have destroyed
his fledgling church that he had started. T.K offered to marry me and raise my son as his. And I protested very loudly at first, but of course I agreed. And it has been 26 of
the most blessed life a woman could ask for. He raised my son as his and
that young man you all know is Dante Wilson. (suspenseful music) - [Rev Reynolds] That
does not alter the fact that he had a child out of wedlock. - He only learned of her
existence when we all did. And with God's help, he is ready to build a relationship with her and even help her mother stay off drugs. - [Congregation] Amen. (congregation applauding) - My husband is a true man of God and he has dedicated
his life to this church that he helped build to what it is today. He does not deserve to be fired. Thank you. (congregation applauding) - I would like to say something. Even if you all believe that
the bishop had no knowledge of his child, the damage is done. All the stories that are circulating about our adulterous leader, they have cause to undermine all of the good work that this church has tried to do in the community. We cannot support a bishop,
who will father a child out of wedlock. It's against everything-- - Terrence stop it. I'm not gonna let you get
away with this any longer. - Go ahead baby. - How dare you try to
have my father removed for having a child outta
wedlock almost 30 years ago. I think there's one more thing the church should know about before they vote. - This is highly airy. - [Congregant] Let her speak Reverend. - Why don't you tell everyone
who my baby's father is? Tell 'em. Tell 'em how you went
behind my father's back impregnated me, then ran off
and married another woman. (congregation murmuring) - [Shawna] What is she
talking about Terrence? - She's lying, she's-- - This is the house of the Lord. You know damn well this is your child. - This is a ploy. Can't y'all see that? That this family has been plagued
with a generational curse? We need to vote immediately to remove them from the leadership of our church and restore the good name of this church back into the community. - Terrence? Why are you kissing her in this picture? (congregation murmuring) - Let me see those pictures. That's you, this is him. - And before you lie,
there's a date on the photo. The same date when I went
looking for my bridal gown. (congregation murmuring) - Deacon Black, we're not
here to talk about me. We're here to talk about-- - Rev Reynolds. - [Congregant] Yes. - I think we've heard just about enough from you for one day. This meeting is adjorned brother. - [Congregation] Yes. (congregation applauding) - I guess we still have
to put this to a vote. But before we do, I would ask
that you long term members recall just how much this church has grown under Bishop Wilson's guidance. Now I know you've heard about
all this media attention and what people outside
First Jamaica Church are saying about us. But to hell with the media. (congregation cheering) Forget the gossip. - [Congregant] Yes. - I say we let the bishop stay. Let the bishop stay. - [Congregation] Let the Bishop stay. ♪ So you came and changed my life ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth living ♪ ♪ So you cleaned me up inside ♪ ♪ You thought I was to die for ♪ ♪ So you sacrificed your life ♪ ♪ So I could be free ♪ ♪ So I could be whole ♪ ♪ So I can tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth saving ♪ ♪ So you came and changed my life ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth living ♪ ♪ You cleaned me up ♪ ♪ So you cleaned me up inside ♪ ♪ You thought I was to die for ♪ ♪ So you sacrificed your life ♪ ♪ So I could be free ♪ ♪ So I could be whole ♪ ♪ So I could tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth saving ♪ ♪ So you came and changed my life ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth living ♪ ♪ So you cleaned me up inside ♪ ♪ You thought I was to die for ♪ ♪ You sacrificed your life ♪ ♪ So I could be free ♪ ♪ So I could be whole ♪ ♪ So I could tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth saving ♪ ♪ So you came and changed my life ♪ ♪ You thought I was worth living ♪ ♪ So you cleaned me up inside ♪ ♪ So you cleaned me up inside ♪ ♪ You thought I was to die for ♪ ♪ So you sacrificed your life ♪ ♪ So I could be free ♪ ♪ So I could be whole ♪ ♪ So I could tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ Ooh ♪ ♪ Hallelujah ♪ ♪ Glory ♪ ♪ Glory to the God who changed my life ♪ ♪ And I will praise you ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ I will worship you ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ I'll give you glory ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ Because I am free ♪ ♪ Because I am whole ♪ ♪ And I will tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ Come on help me sing ♪ ♪ Hallelujah ♪ ♪ Glory ♪ ♪ To the God who changed my life ♪ ♪ To the God who changed my life ♪ ♪ And I will praise you ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ I'll worship you ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ I'll give you glory ♪ ♪ Forever ♪ ♪ Because I am ♪ ♪ Because I am free ♪ ♪ Because I am whole ♪ ♪ And you can tell everyone I know ♪ ♪ Come on lift it up say ♪ ♪ Hallelujah ♪
