Girl, bye.
I told him to choose.
- Why are you even still with him?
- [Woman] I don't know, sis.
- After all the bullshit he put you through?
- [Woman] You right.
- That shit sounds so crazy.
- [Woman] Treating me like second class
when I'm second to none.
Three years.
Honestly, I'm tired of these games.
Coming home late, not answering his phone.
- Look, I'ma always be there for you no matter what,
but at the same time, you need to realize
what's best for you and your kids.
- [Woman] Maybe a fresh start
is what's best for me and my baby.
I've already started looking
for another place- - Dammit!
- [Woman] What, what'd I say?
- No, no. It's not you.
- Oh. - I'm out of milk.
(sighs)
Yeah.
Hey, let me just call you back later.
I'm gonna get to the store before it gets late, okay?

(ominous music)
- Where did he go?
(insects buzzing)
Sir?
(birds chirping)
- Yep, looks like you're gonna need a tow into town.
- [Woman] A tow?
No, can you at least tell me what's wrong with it?
I mean you don't have to tow me, I've got insurance.
- [Man] Ma'am I don't know what to tell you

Ooh, ah-ah.

I'm gonna show you how it's done.
(laughs)
(hip hop music) - Oh my god.
Please don't. Don't do that.
(hip hop music)
Hey babe?
I really want you to know that I appreciate
you being in my corner.
It's been a rough six months.
- Oh, yeah.
But you know the past is behind us.
You know, say, you know what?
- What? - I'll tell you what.
How about tonight I take you to the picture show?
(Sophia laughs) - You're so country.
It's called the movies.
The movies, babe.
- Hell, girl, you know what I mean.
- [Sophia] Okay.
- So, I'ma go on ahead and run to the store.
- Okay. - Get you some more
of this wine right here.
This good old wine. - Thank you.
- For these late night festivities.
- Oh?
- And you just go one ahead and get ready for me.
- Okay, mister.
I'll get ready. (man chuckles)
- That's what I'm talking about.
Sexy as whoa.
Shit.
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
(tense, dramatic music)
Baby?
Sophia?
(tense, dramatic music)
Fuck.
(tense, dramatic music)
(sobbing) (tense, dramatic music)
(soft, melancholy music)
(woman vocalizing) (soft, melancholy music)
- We're gathered here today to remember Sophia Tipidaux.
Every one loved her. Sweet, sweet young lady.
As we also knew, she was so much
in love with Benard Tipidaux.
Benard was here a little earlier today,
he couldn't really take the whole weight of the situation,
so he wanted to keep his privacy and he left us a letter
that he was supposed to read
to Sophia when they were hitched.
"To my dear Sophia, I never thought that the day would come
when I finally heard you tell me that you love me.
I never thought the day would come
when you finally got around to saying I do.
Everyone thought that we weren't
going to make it to a year.
Hell, most people didn't give us six months.
But most people don't see what I see in you or you in me.
That doesn't matter to me.
Sophia, I love you and you love me,
and right now that's what matters the most.
We've been through a lot.
Been stood up, been knocked down,
but we made it through everything,
and I want to tell you that this has been
the best year of my life.
I wouldn't trade you for the world,
and I want to say happy anniversary
to the best woman in the world.
I love you Sophia.
Forever true, Benard."
Now although he didn't get a chance
to show he still loved her,
and didn't get a chance to say it to her face to face,
we all felt the loving connection through those words.
Now if anyone else has anything nice to say,
we ask that you speak at this moment.
If not, I'd like to go ahead and bring up Pastor Richard
to do the eulogy and the sermon.
Pastor Richard.
(soft, melancholy music)
- We are gathered here this sorrowful and gloomy morning
to send off our beloved sister Sophia.
We all know that our beloved sister was a good woman.
We want to make sure that her soul is entrusted
in the hands of the Lord.
The Lord said whoever calls his name shall be saved.
God is not mocked.
Matthew speaks about fighting those demons that beset us,
that get us off course and take us on a different road
that we did not plan to travel.
So I say again, we ask you Lord that you protect her soul.
You see, we need to express concern.
- Amen. - Yes.
- We need to know that her spirit is entrusted
in the hands of God.
- Amen. - Yes, Lord.
- Like I said before, in the book of Matthew
when it talked about Satan leading
Jesus up to the mountain, do you know how hard that was?
That faith that he was going to be pulled out
of that instant moment where he has to choose
to bow unto Satan or go his own way.
Go the way of God. (ominous music)
(disembodied laughing)
(chittering)
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
(tense, dramatic music)
- Twinkle Bell said you better stop telling lies
about that dirty girl or I'm gonna
feed your mouth full of rocks until
you can't hold anymore, Pastor Richard.
(dramatic music)
- Pastor Richard?
Pastor Richard?
It's all right.
- Pardon me.
(sighs)
I guess it's hard.
- [Man] Mhm.
Take your time, take your time.
- Because she was a newly wedded wife,
she would give you the shirt off her back.
(dramatic music)
She was a beautiful young lady inside and out.
But one day at the end, on that resurrection day,
she will be reunited.
We will see her again.
She will be reunited with her husband, Brother Benard.
We will see her again.
(soft, melancholy music)
- You don't mind me sitting next to you?
- Oh, no. No ma'am, no ma'am.
Here.
- Thank you kindly, young man.
If you don't mind me saying,
what's meant to be will serve its purpose,
but what's not will never be.
- Yeah, you're right.
- Lookie here, baby.
If you ever need spiritual guidance or someone to talk to...
(ominous music)
He helped me when my husband died.
- Mr. Doomashay?
(ominous music)
(insects buzzing) (ominous music)
- Hello, Pastor Richard.
Nice of you to visit us.
We've been expecting you.
- We?
You?
Who's been expecting me?
You, um...
I mean me?
- Let's just say your vices have led
you in contact with us.
- Vices?
What vices?
I'm here for some closure.
- Closure?
Is that all that you seek, Pastor Richard?
Or something more?
Perhaps retribution from what
your vices did have caused you?
- Vices? What vices?
I'm here for closure.
(dramatic music)
- Yes.
And you came to my parlor, Pastor Richard.
You came to me in a dark place in your life, Pastor Richard.
You came with a dark time, as you all do.
- [Pastor] I'm working for the Lord now.
- Ah!
Ah, she's calling you, Pastor Richard.
Pastor Richard.
This way.
The closure that you seek awaits you beyond the door.
(tense, dramatic music)
A warning, Pastor Richard.
- [Pastor] Warning?
- Your prayers and scriptures will bring
you no comfort here, Pastor Richard.
Your puny faith in religion
has no power here, Pastor Richard.
Enter this space freely and on your own free will.
(dramatic music)
(insects buzzing)

(insects chittering)

You will remove your shoes and socks
before entering my humble abode.
There's a certain kindness and respect
we have around here, Mr. Benard Tipidaux.
(insects buzzing)
(ominous music) (insects buzzing)
(flies buzzing) (ominous music)
What is it that you seek Mr. Tipidaux?
Money?
Success?
Or do you come for worship?
Ah.
Yeah.
Doomashay can see through the window of your soul.
(ominous music)
- No, sir.
Um...
I was told that you could help me?
A lady by the name of Ms. Delia is her name?
- Oh yeah.
Ms. Delia.
So, what is it that you seek, Mr. Tipidaux?
(ominous music)
- She was my wife.
She died about three months ago,
and I'm just looking for some closure.
- [Doomashay] Closure is what you seek, huh?
- Yeah.
Closure.
- Place your hands on the table
and do not remove them, Mr. Tipidaux.
(ominous music)
Place, your hands on the table
and do not remove them, Mr. Tipidaux.
(ominous music) (insects buzzing)
(dramatic music)
Services rendered shall be $300, Mr. Benard Tipidaux.
(ominous music)
$300, Mr. Tipidaux.
- Yeah.
I, I, I can cover that.
(ominous music)
It's all there.
(ominous music)
- Mr. Tipidaux, there are a few items
that will be required.
- That's, that's it?
- That is all for now. - Where the fu...
Where are you goin'?
(dramatic music)
What the fuck man?
I spent $300 and then you just gonna walk off?
Man, this is some bullshit, Mr. Doomashay.
(dramatic music) (Benard yells)
(dramatic music)
(disembodied chattering)
(tense, dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)

- [Bishop Mathew] How's it going my friend?
- It's going good.
- Hoping your trial was going okay
with all this construction around here in this area.
(Pastor Richard laughs)
- [Pastor] Indeed.
- So, you're ready to preach the gospel?
- It's my calling.
You know, these last three years
have been a little rough but,
I'm doing what God's telling me.
- And what is God telling you?
(ominous music)
(doorbell chimes)
- Good evening, Pastor Richard.
- Brother. - How you doin'?
- I'm all right, I'm all right.
- I know it's short notice but I'm glad you're here.
- I got your call, came as soon as I could.
What's wrong, Brother Johnson?
- It's Jessie Ann.
(soft music)
(phone rings)
- Good morning, Crossline Commercial Framing.
This is Shirley Light-Herrera.
How may Crossline help you today?
Yes?
Yes, ma'am.
I can have this message delivered ASAP.
Of course, Mrs. Johnson. I sure will.
No problem.

(soft music)
- [Man] Whoa. How you doin', Eric?
- Hey, how you doin', Mr. H?
- Good, doing good.
Hey, you got a minute?
There's something I wanna talk to you about.
- Guy that signs my checks
asking if I got a minute? (chuckles)
All ready.
- Well, let's step into my office for a minute
and then I'll let you know what's up.
- Hi, Eric.
- [Eric] Hi, Mrs, H. How are you doin'?
- You know, woke up... - Hey, excuse me.
- Rolled out of bed, ended up in work.
Nothin' much. (laughing)
- I know that's right.
Mr. H? - Yes?
- How you doing?
Man, if it's about me being on my phone, Mr, H-
- No, no, no, no, nothing like that.
The reason why I brought you in here today was
because you've been doing a really good job
with them demo projects.
You've been breaking down and cleaning up in record time.
- Thank you, thank you.
- What do you know about metal framing?
- Well, at first it was a little tricky,
but with me learning from the guys
and then from what you've taught me,
and then working here at Crossline,
I'm picking up on it man, so I'm all great now.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- All great. - All right, there's two
things I wanna talk to you about, also.
- [Eric] All right.
- I'm gonna need someone on the field as a supervisor.
Someone who's not afraid to take on
some of the bigger projects.
- Mr. H. Mr. H.
You lookin' at who I believe to be the best man for the job.
I could use the money.
We could really use the money.
Plus, it's, it's Jessie Ann.
- [Mr. H] Your daughter?
- Yes, sir.
We've been trying to get her some help, you know,
and with this opportunity right here, we can make it happen.
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
(disembodied chattering) (dramatic music)
- [Mr. H] Hey? Hey, Eric?
You all right?
You kinda zoned out there for a minute.
- Yeah, I'm all right. Just thinking.
Hopefully everything will be all right, though.
- Well, look, you go home,
take care of those two beautiful women,
and we'll see you here bright and early Monday morning.
- Yes sir.
Yes, sir. - Yup.
- Hey, Mr. H?
I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

- No.
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
- She's um...
She ain't been herself.
It's, it's, I don't know what else to do.
- If she's sick, if she's ill,
why don't you take her to the hospital?
- No.
No, sir.
It's a little worse than that.
- All right, well, so why don't you tell me?
- Well...
- [Mrs. Johnson] This is who you got?
This is who you got to help us?
- [Eric] Don't, don't come over here with that.
This is my pastor.
- This man is not going to help us.
- [Eric] This is my pastor.
- He's not gonna help us, Eric.
- You know what?
We wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for you.
I didn't want foster children.
I did not want foster children, but to appease you,
I did what you asked me to do.
Now look what we got in the house.
- Eric, Eric.
You said we could have a baby. - Yeah, I did.
But it ain't my fault that you can't conceive.
- Brother Johnson.
- But Eric, whose fault is it?
- You know what?
I don't even wanna
have this argument. - It's my fault?
It's my fault? - Yeah, it's your fault.
It's your fault. - Eric!
Eric.
- I, you know, I ain't trying to hear that.
I'm not trying to hear that conversation-
- But Eric, I- - Because you know what?
- Brother, Sister Johnson.

(ominous music)
(door creaks open)
- [Jessie Ann] Richard.
(ominous music)
Did you come to preach, Pastor Richard?
(ominous music)
Did God send you here?
- What...
What are you?
- [Jessie Ann] I am going to feed you a belly full of rocks
until you cannot hold them anymore.
I am the beginning
and your end. (dramatic music)

(Pastor Richard heaves) (rocks clattering)

Oh my God. (coughing)

Get some help!

(insects buzzing) (ominous music)

- Ooh.
Hey Jessie Ann.
You scared me, baby.
Where's mommy?
(dramatic music) (creepy laughing)
Jessie Ann!
(creepy child laughter)
- Ah.
Mr. Eric Johnson.
- [Eric] Who the hell are you?
What are you doing in my house?
Where's my wife?
Christie! - That is not important,
Mr. Eric Johnson. (dramatic music)
But what is more important is that your wife
invited Jessie Ann into her home,
which in turn is your home.
You are connected to your wife,
therefore you go where she is, and where she goes.
We are connected to Jessie Ann,
and we go where she goes and where she is.
- I didn't want her here in the first place.
I don't want her here now.
So you- - But your wife did,
Mr. Eric Johnson.
- You lyin'!
You lyin'! (creepy child laughter)
- Believe me, Mr. Johnson.
It is true.
This is a good place for Jessie Ann.
(creepy child laughter)
I will tell you as I told your pastor,
scriptures have no effect on someone
once you have allowed them inside your home,
and the book does nothing to our torch.

(ominous music)
Believe in the scriptures,
the sword.
(laughs)
The sword.
I did everything right.
I didn't...
Didn't mean for it to happen like that.
(sighs) I tried.
(laughs) It's a joke!
