up, no problem.

No, no.

I got myself in...

into a little bit of a

situation and, uh...

Are you okay?

No, I'm fine, I just need

you to take a friend of mine

to this clinic

on Tuesday.

And...

Here we go.

Oh, this

is great.

Pastor, um...

This says it's

about 70 miles away.

Yeah, I know.

Clinic, wait-wait-wait.

This is an

abortion clinic.

Yes.

You want me to take someone

to an abortion clinic?

- Why would you ask me...

- I trust you more

than anyone

in this church.

You can trust me,

it, it...

It just a

lot at one time.

I really need you to

do this for me.

Who am I taking?

Come here,

come here!

Come here, come here,

come here.

But Pastor...

I love you,

boy.

- Thank you.

- Who?

Who, who am

I taking?

Thank you.

Brother Wilks'

daughter.

Nish?

Yes, Nish.

Whoa.

You're married.

- Whoa, whoa...

- You've been with Nish?

Come on,

come on.

No.

Hey, hey, take it easy, I

know how you feel about her

but I need you to

do this for me.

No, I can't do it.

Hey,

hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

I wanted to be

with Nish.

I know, I know,

I know, I know, I know.

Hi, Pastor, I'm still at

the church, but look.

I can't prove it.

But we

know for a fact

the members of the Republican

party bought him off.

Look, we need you back.

There's a whole lot

of disappointed members

at that church.

Well, as long as

L.C.'s there

I don't really see

that as a possibility.

When everyone saw you

last week,

the folks were

generally excited to see you.

Just come and be a

guest speaker.

Deaconess,

it's Shirley.

Were they excited to

see us before

or after

the fight broke out?

Well, I don't think L.C.

will ever go for that.

Well, that's

not his decision.

I'm in charge of booking

guest speakers.

He'll do it.

What are you talking...

I don't need

that game.

You don't

need no game.

What you doing?

You just locked

my door.

Yeah?

I wanna

see you.

Well, you can

see me now.

You know what

I'm talking about.

I want you

inside of me.

- Um-um.

- Um-hmm.

Hold on,

hold on.

Praise God,

just a minute.

Am I interrupting

something?

Oh, Nish.

Oh, no, I was

just leaving.

You have lipstick

on your face?

No, Sister Roberts

just kissed me on the cheek.

She enjoyed

the sermon.

This is

your cheek.

This is your lips.

This is your cheek, this

is your cheek, what is...

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, would

YOU just stop it?

- No, you stop!

- Stop it.

A woman kissed me on my cheek,

end of story, you understand me?

When am I going?

Tuesday.

Where?

It's about

an hour from here.

What time are you

picking me up?

Not picking

you up.

What time are

you picking me up?

Yes, what time are

you picking me up?

Joey is taking you.

You told Joey?

- I trust him.

- You told Joey?!

Let's just be

reasonable.

Reasonable?

You're telling me that

you are not taking me

and you are asking

me to be reasonable?

This is your

responsibility.

Look, I'm really sorry that

I didn't know you like me.

Don't sweat it.

Are you mad

at me?

I'm not

your man and...

I don't have a right

to be mad.

If

I need you

to go first.

My God.

Hey...

What's wrong?

Hey, Pastor.

There's nothing

wrong.

Everythingfs cool.

I was...

Shut up.

And sit

your ass down

before I knock

you down.

Hey, hey, hey,

Minister, how are you?

Do you have

a gun?

What do you

think it is?

Huh?

You crazy?

Why would you

say that?

That man...

Let's go in.

I'm scared.

Not laughing now,

huh, Case?

The way you laugh at

my sermons on Sunday.

Let me hear

you laugh.

Let me hear

you laugh.

Nurse, stat,

room eight!

Doctor?

There's been

a complication.

There was a lot of

blood loss.

We're trying to help

her regain consciousness.

- Regain consciousness?

- Yes.

Now she needs

a transfusion

but she didn't put her

blood type on the form.

Do you know

what it is?

Mind if I get that?

Yes, I do mind.

- Look, let me explain.

- Shut up!

Now, I just wanna

ask a few questions.

Can I ask a few questions,

Minister, please?

Evelyn, can I

ask a few questions?

How long has this been

going on, hm?

Pastor, that

doesn't matter.

- Joey.

- Pastor!

I gotta call

you back.

- I, I...

- I gotta call you back.

Doesn't matter.

Really?

Well, let's just see

what the congregation

has to say about that

on Sunday, Pastor.

You think you can turn

my congregation against me?

It's just my word

against yours.

Really?

I'm sure this

picture will help me.

Hello?

Yeah?

She's what?

She's at a clinic and we need

to know her blood type.

Where are you?!

We're about

an hour away.

She's A positive.

A pos... Doctor!

Doctor, she's

A positive!

Yes, yes, yes,

I'm her father.

Sir, I need your consent

for a transfusion.

Yes, you have

my permission.

Give me back that... get...

put him back on the phone!

Yes, sir?

Give me

the directions.

Right now!

Let's go,

Evelyn.

Come on.

Look at me.

You're going

straight home.

You understand?

Let's go.

Wait up,

Pastor Roberts.

Can we just talk privately, man

to man for a moment, please.

Please.

Talk, Minister.

That is, what you

do best, right?

Talk?

How much?

How much?

15,000?

25,000?

Come on, Minister.

50,000.

My Benz, the CLS?

And you?

A weekly feature

on my live broadcast.

Brother Wilks.

Brothers Wilks,

I can explain.

- You need to get out.

- I can explain.

I said, get out!

- I can explain.

- Get out!

Okay...

Oh, dear God,

take it out on me.

Don't take my...

Take it out on me.

Hey, Joey, how

did it go?

Not good.

What?

There were

complications and

she lost a lot of blood.

Oh my God.

Can they give her

any more blood?

We couldn't because we didn't

know her blood type so...

I had to

call her father.

You what?

I tried to call you but

you kept hanging up.

You called

Brother Wilks?

I had to.

What?

What did you

say to him?

I told him that

she had a procedure

and there were

complications.

You say anything

about me?

Not yet.

What do you

mean not yet?

L'ma have to tell

him the truth.

Hold it, Joey,

just...

Hold it, let's just

think this through.

Pastor, she's dying...

she's dying in there

from aborting your child.

Hey, look, look,

we don't know

if this is my

child for starters.

What?

Are you serious?

Joey, Joey,

calm down.

If I give you... If I

give you, uh, if I give you

$10,000 tomorrow, will you

have my back on this?

Pastor, I

didn't wanna...

I didn't wanna take her

here in the first place.

Listen, listen, listen, listen,

listen, it says in Luke, Luke.

Luke 22:
32.

"But I have prayed for you that

your faith should not fail.

"And when you

have returned to me

strengthen your brethren. "

Hello?

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Let me get

that for you.

Come on, you

need help.

Hey!

I got it, I got it,

I got it.

No, you're in

the wrong button.

I'm burning up.

You are, you're sweating

and you are shaking.

Like a leaf.

Lean back.

Hey.

Don't worry, okay,

don't be nervous.

You are gonna

be amazing, okay?
