Ooh, ain't nothing like a good sandwich in the afternoon.
All right, here we go. Hey, Leah!
You moving a little slow.
Hey, Cora!
Girl, I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
What, you got a lot on your mind?
No; just trying to get used to this new body of mine.
Okay, you want a sandwich? I'm makin' sandwiches.
-You know we want a sandwich. -[Cora] Okay, y'all.
I know, right?
-Yes. -Girl, I lay down
and go to sleep.
I turn to one side, then I turn to the other side.
I try to sit up in the bed, then I get up.
Then when I get up, I realize how tired I am.
I try to lay back down.
I can't get comfortable, can't go back to sleep.
[sighs heavily]
You know pregnancy, baby, it does a work on the body.
It's doing a work on me.
-[Cora laughs] -My gosh.
I mean, but I find myself wanting
to take naps during the day.
So I lay down, but I may as well just stay up.
Because, I don't know, the last few nights have been an ordeal.
-Thank you. -You're welcome!
Ooh...
Well, you know,
maybe you should call your doctor
and he can give you something.
Yeah, I think I got a doctor's appointment for next week.
[Cora] Oh, okay.
[Leah] Thank you. This looks good.
-[Cora] Hey, Philip! -Hey, honey.
Hey, Mom. Hey, Ms. Cora.
Mm-mm. How was school today?
You okay?
Stressful.
Oh, really? Well, how's everything going?
Fine, I guess.
You guess? Well, that don't sound good.
That's what I was gonna say. Now, what's wrong?
-I'm fine. -You sure, Philip?
Yeah, I'm fine, Mom.
Hey, you want something to eat?
No, ma'am.
No, ma'am?
You always eat when you come home from school.
That's what I was gonna say.
I know you not feeling good. Boy, come here. Let me see.
I'm fine. Just gonna go to my room.
Okay.
Philip, um...
Baby...
Yeah, Mom?
Now, you know you can talk to me about anything
that's on your mind, right?
-I know. Okay, I can go? -[Leah] Yeah.
Wow.
I gotta go. I gotta...
Yes, I saw that. I did. I did.
Definitely something is on his mind.
Oh, my goodness. Now I'm worried.
Well, don't worry. He's a teenager.
Okay, that's why I'm worried, Cora.
[laughing]
-Oh, my goodness. -But you know what?
He'll tell you when he need to.
-That's right... Hey, you. -He'll tell you.
-Hey, Cora. -How was the hearing?
It was okay.
The DA's trying to charge the kids as adults.
Oh, yeah? How you feel about that?
I don't like it.
So, Jeremy, you don't want them to try the kids
for the carjacking?
No, Cora. They just too young. They only 13, 14 years old.
-Well, that is young. -[Jeremy] Yeah.
And Mr. Brown keep talking about "If you're old enough
to do the crime, you're old enough to do the time".
Now, that sounds just like my dad.
[Jeremy] Yeah?
Well, how you feel about it?
Well, I say you just...
Just pray about it, sweetheart.
Mm... Jeremy, you may want to talk to Philip.
Talk to him about what? What's going on with him now?
Okay, look. I don't know.
I mean, he said it was nothing, but it's definitely something.
-It's definitely something? -Yeah. Yeah, I mean...
-Something like what? -I don't know, baby.
I mean, it seemed serious, though.
It's serious, but y'all in here eating sandwiches? Okay.
-I can talk to him. -You want one?
-And she pregnant. -Yeah,we...I'm eating for two.
Yeah. I'm just eatin'.
Everybody in a mood today.
Yeah, there's something in the air.
Is it a full moon?

[knocking on door] Knock, knock.
Hey, man. It's a mess in here.
It stinks, too. You need to clean this up.
I really wish you and Mom could actually knock
on the door before just walking in.
Man, get over it. I need to talk to you.
About what?
-[Jeremy] What's wrong with you? -Nothing.
Your mom says something's wrong.
Nothing's wrong, and I told Mom that.
Okay, well, we know your mom can overreact at times,
but now that I'm seeing you...
I'm worried.
-Worried why? -You don't look good, Son.
I look how I look, Dad.
Philip, don't you know I can look at you
and see when something's on your mind?
I'll figure it out.
Figure what out, man? Talk to me.
Look, I just need some alone time.
Some alone time? So this is serious, huh?
It's nothing.
It's something you can't tell me?
-I'm your father. -Yeah.
Okay, so you're admitting that something is wrong.
Look, man, you might as well just tell me.
You know I'm going to figure it out anyway.
Dad, respectfully, I just need to get my homework done
and some time to myself.
All right, I'll leave it alone for now, but, you know,
if you want to talk about it later, let me know.
Thank you.
Okay, so, like I said...
want to talk... later?
Okay, thank you.
Look, man, I know that your mom and I,
we can be hard on you at times, but look, man,
it ain't nothing you can't talk to us about.
-You hear me? -Okay, thank you.
Anything else?
Okay, so if you want to talk later...
Got it. Got it. Thank you.
All right... Well,
do something about this room.
[gentle music]
[Vinny] I'll let that set for a few minutes.
That should be right.
Owee! Oh, that's you, Vinny?
-You cooking? -[Vinny] Oh, yeah.
What brought that on?
Well, you know I like to throw down
in the kitchen every now and then.
All right, well, it smells good, so you baking?
Well, you know,
I'm more of a baker than I am a chef, you know?
Like baked goods, like candy and stuff.
You ever had baked chitlins? Because I can make them.
-Baked chitlins? -[Vinny] They're delicious.
That sounds horrible. [laughing]
Well, I'm sure whatever you're baking,
they're going to be happy to eat it.
Oh, well, now, this is not for everybody.
Not for everybody, so you don't want to share your baked goods?
-No, ma'am. -Oh, Vinny!
You're something else, I tell you.
Hey, you know what?
But when you get a chance, check on your grandson.
So what's wrong with Jeremy?
Not Jeremy, the other one, your grandson.
-The great-grandson. -Oh, Philip, Philip.
-[Cora] Yes, yes. -What's wrong with Philip?
I don't know, but something.
Oh. Oh, okay. Well, where is he?
He's in his room. You know, he came in early.
-He was pretty heavy. -[Vinny] Oh, yeah?
Yeah, Leah tried to talk to him,
but he didn't want to talk to her,
so I'm thinking maybe
he has something he wants to talk about with a man, you know?
Okay, well, maybe I'll go check on him then, okay?
Well, that'll be good. That'll be good.
Oh, you about to get it.
-Oh, look at you! -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, well, so what is that, a cake?
Oh, something like that.
Oh, well, you don't have to be so defensive.
I'm just asking, you know. I don't want none.
I'm watching my figure.
I hear you, girl. I hear you.
All right, I'll see you in a minute.
[giggling]
Mm! Something smells good.
Yeah, something smells good for me.
Why only just to you?
Because I made it for me.
And you're not going to share it with everybody else?
No, no, not at all.
Hey, hey, what's up with Philip, man?
I don't know. Why you ask?
Oh, um, Ms. Cora says there's something wrong with him.
-She's right. -[Vinny] Oh.
Well, did you talk to him?
I tried. He ain't want to talk to me.
So you think there's something wrong with him?
Had to be something,
because he didn't want to talk to me or his mom about it.
So I'm thinking it must be something bad.
Well, Ms. Cora wanted me to talk to him.
You could try. Maybe he'll talk to you.
He ain't said nothing to us.
Well, that's because y'all his parents, man.
Y'all freak the boy out.
We do not freak him out.
All you do is freak him out, man.
He don't want to talk to y'all.
That's why he don't want to tell y'all nothing.
No. Philip knows he can talk to us about anything.
Then why is he not talking to you?
-Good point. -[Vinny chuckles]
All right, well... see what you can get out of him.
I'm about to head to the hardware store.
Okay, I'm going to let that cool.
[sniffs] Man, that smell good.
I'm going to get a piece of that when you ain't looking.
I'm going to tell you right now, anybody touches a piece of this,
I got something for them.
Let me go see what's wrong with him.
Put your hands on that cake if you want to.
It'll whoop your ass.
Ha! What is this?
Hey, looks heavenly!
Ooh, still warm. Ah!
[hums] This is good, huh?
Oh, this thing's hot!
[humming happily]
Good brownie.
[upbeat music]
[Philip] Yo, okay. All right, bro, I got to go.
I'll talk to you later. I got to go.
[chuckles] Hey, Philip, what's going on?
Hey, Grandpa.
I've been looking for you, you know.
I haven't seen you in a couple days.
Yeah, just been busy.
School, and I got a new job to pay for my graduation stuff.
Okay, okay. Well, let me look at you.
Look at me?
Oh, you know,
that's what old folks say when they talk to young people.
You know, to see if they're okay, you know?
Ah, you're funny, Grandpa. I'm good.
Oh, okay. Well, look, how's school?
School's cool.
Oh, you know,
I used to hate school when I was going to school.
Yeah, I see where I get it from. I can't wait to be done.
All right, see you later.
Oh, no, no, no, look,
I'm on my way to the hardware store in a few minutes.
Okay, have fun.
You think you want to roll with me?
You used to like to hang out with me?
Uh, not today. Is that cool?
Okay, that's fine.
-[Vinny] Oh, okay. Cool, cool. -Hey, little bro.
Hey.
Hey, Sandra, what's up with your brother?
I don't know.
I need to talk to my parents about him.
Oh, man, what do you think it is?
I don't know. I think it's super serious.
I'm really worried about him. He's, like, super depressed.
Depressed?
[gentle music]
[upbeat music]
-Depressed? -Yeah.
-What do you think it is? -Who knows?
I mean, Philip's always getting himself into crazy situations,
but usually he at least tells me about it.
So he wouldn't tell you what it was either?
No, which I think is probably pretty serious.
Uh, you know, young boys have a way of getting themselves into,
you know, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, but what has he gotten himself into now?
-[Vinny] Oh, well... -Grandpa, what do we do?
[Vinny] There's nothing we can do but just
be cool until he decides to ask for help.
That's all.
Do about what?
Mom, I think something's going on with Philip.
[sighs] I told your father to talk to him earlier.
Well, Jeremy said he tried to talk to him,
but Philip wouldn't say anything.
And he wouldn't talk to me either.
Mom, I'm really worried.
Sandra, baby, I know. I'm worried about him, too.
Well, you just have to stop worrying and play it cool.
That's all you can do.
Grandpa, but what if he needs help?
Well, if he needs help, then we will help him.
But right now,
he needs to know that he has a family who loves him
and who will help him if he decides to ask for help.
-That's all we can do. -Oh, okay. All right.
[upbeat music]
[snores] Cool.
[speaks frantically in foreign language]
Oh, my goodness.
Who in the hell ate some of my brownies?
Oh, Efe!
-[speaking foreign language] -[Vinny] Oh, man... Oh, brother!
You about to go through hell, man!
You got to be an OG to eat these brownies, man.
You ate a big old chunk.
More than I normally eat in one sitting, man.
What the hell?
[speaking foreign language]
[imitates bird calls]
You got to stop, Efe.
Oh, man.
Miss Leah and Cora are going to kill me if they find out
you ate some of my brownies.
[sighs] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
-[Vinny] Oh, goodness. -What's going on, Grandpa?
Oh, I messed up, Grandson.
What you do now, huh?
-Who hiding behind the counter? -Efe; you got to help me, man.
-What's wrong with him? -Oh, man, he done lost his mind.
Lost his mind?
Yeah, for about two hours,
and then he going to sleep like a baby.
He'll wake up. He'll be fine.
-What did you do? -Oh, man.
He got a hold of some of my premium brownies, man.
You put weed in these brownies you made earlier?
I know, man. I'm sorry.
Why? You can't give people edibles.
They go crazy.
I know, but that's why his ass is behind the counter.
Oh, God!
We got to get him out of here.
Leah and Cora can't see him like this.
Oh, man.
Oh, God. I can't...
I can't breathe.
He's breathing now. He's doing better.
-He's doing better? -Yeah, he's...
-He's speaking English. -[Jeremy] Oh, man. Come on, Efe.
Hey, throw the brownies away right now!
At least he's speaking English.
Oh, man. [scoffs] Damn. Damn!
[upbeat music]
So, Sandra says your boy's depressed.
Who, Philip?
Did you talk to him, Jeremy?
I tried. He didn't want to talk to me.
[sighs] Jeremy, my God. Now I'm worried.
What you worried about?
Does it have anything to do with that kitchen in there?
The kitchen?
What the... happened to the kitchen?
It's a wreck.
Really?
Yes; it looked like a hurricane hit the kitchen.
Uh, me and Grandpa, we'll clean that up later.
[Cora] Oh, okay.
No, Cora; we were just in here talking about Philip.
Oh, Philip, he still acting strange?
-He is. -[Cora] Oh.
Well, what you think it is?
Man, who knows?
You know how these teenage boys are.
They always find a way
to get themselves into some kind of trouble.
And Philip?
Man, he be on another level with the amount
of trouble he gets himself into.
Well, his sister seems to think that it's really serious.
-Serious? -[Leah] Mm-hmm.
Well, she says that he always at least tells her,
but, like, this time, he won't even confide in her.
So...
Um, hey, I... Let me try. I got this.
You got what?
I mean, I can talk to him, right?
-Yeah, I mean, I... -Yeah, good luck.
I think that's fine. I just...
I was just thinking about the fact
that he wouldn't even talk to us, his parents,
-his sister, so... -[Cora] Okay...
Well, I mean...
If I can, I would like to try.
Trust me. He gonna be all right.
[sighing]
So... So where is he?
-He in his room. -[Cora] Okay.
-Oh, wait, wait, Ms. Cora. -Yeah, babe?
What you gonna say to him?
I'm just gonna offer my help, that's all,
but he gonna be all right, y'all.
-[Leah] Thank you. -You're welcome.
She must think she Iyanla or something.
I hope she can fix his life, child.
Mm-hmm. [upbeat music]
Hey, Cora.
-Hey! He's gonna be all right. -Did he talk to you?
He gave me much as he could.
What did he say?
He said enough for me to know that he needed help.
So I offered him help.
[sighs] That's so crazy how somebody
with a different perspective can talk to you.
But what did he say to your offer for help?
He accepted my offer for help.
Wow.
He accepted your offer for help?
He did!
And, y'all, he's gonna be just fine.
He's gonna be all right.
Okay, Cora, now, what kind of help are we talking about?
Is this boy on drugs?
No, I don't... I don't think so.
-I'm confused. -Well, don't be confused.
I just saw what he needed. That's all.
What he needed? We give that boy everything.
Yes, you probably do give him a lot, but not everything.
You know, the best thing that Mr. Brown ever done for me was
to take me to church.
And we as parents, we try to be everything to our kids,
but we can't.
You know, no matter how hard we try.
That's why so many
of our children are walking around here troubled
and depressed these days.
But our teenagers,
there's going to come a day for our teenagers that, you know,
they're going to be dealing with something that they can't talk
to none of us about, but...
we've all been there.
And in that time,
that's when we have to go to God.
What did you say to him, Cora?
I just said I know that he was hurting and was dealing
with something and everything was going to be okay.
What did he say?
He lit up.
And when he lit up, I was like, "Oh, my God."
I was like, "Philip, you want to go to church with me?"
So I just invited him.
-And what did he say to that? -He said, "Yes. Can I go?"
He said he wanted to go to church?
He did!
You know, I feel like everything he's dealing with
and going through,
it's all going to work out for him on Sunday.
How can you be so sure, Cora?
Because I serve a mighty God who is mighty in battle.
Amen.
It's going to work. He's going to be fine.
Mom and Daddy, he's going to be good.
-Thank you, Cora. -[Cora] You're welcome.
-He wanted to go to church? -Yeah.
Man, it's worse than I thought.
Jeremy...
[upbeat music]
[Cora] All right!
-[Cora] Hi! -Good morning, Miss Cora.
Good morning, Efe.
So how are you doing this lovely morning?
I'm feeling fantastic!
That's good.
Although I'm hungrier than I've ever been.
-Well, breakfast is served. -[Efe] Oh!
Wonderful. [chuckles] Off to church?
-I am off to church. -Oh, okay.
Yes, I am! All right!
Good morning. Good morning!
-[Cora] Good morning! -[Efe] Hey, hey!
Hey!
Look at you.
[Cora] Woo!
Don't you look handsome?
Thank you.
-Hey, I got you something. -Oh...
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
You ready?
-Yes, ma'am. -All right.
You're going to be my chauffeur today, all right?
You drivin'.
All right?
Okay. Enjoy your church service.
Yes, and you enjoy your breakfast.
[Efe] Okay.
[sighs] I like that move... Hey!
Oh, Efe, you're too much.
