00:07Did she really put my mulch shirt on this flyer?
00:11How about you let me manage your campaign?
00:13Previously on House of Pain.
00:16Hey.
00:16Hey.
00:17What do you think he wants for his birthday?
00:18He wants a new Z-Phone 27X.
00:20Yeah!
00:21He's a new Z-Phone 27X!
00:24No, you cannot keep this gift.
00:27Kevin, are you kidding me right now?
00:29You know, the way you acted today makes me really think that we got to do a lot of thinking
00:33before we move forward with this wedding, Laura.
00:35You ready, sweetheart?
00:36Yes, daddy.
00:43Laura, are you serious right now?
00:46Kevin, this is not going to work.
00:49Why can't we ever talk anything through before you call it quits and walk out the door, Laura?
00:55Calvin, Laura's giving us all she has.
00:57I know my daughter.
00:59She has been trying to make this work.
01:01Mr. Frederick, I understand that Laura's your daughter.
01:05Yes, she is.
01:06Yeah, but she's marrying me.
01:07She's my fiance.
01:10And right now, this is a matter between me and her.
01:15Look, I don't disagree with you, Calvin.
01:18I would never step in the middle of your relationship.
01:20You've never heard from me during any of the many issues you guys have had.
01:23Sir, we don't have many issues.
01:25That's not what my daughter has said.
01:30Okay, sir.
01:31I'm going to ask you again.
01:33This is between Laura and I.
01:35Would you give us a moment to hash this out?
01:37Please, sir.
01:41Uh, my daughter called me.
01:43Yeah, Calvin.
01:45I called my father to come and get me.
01:47So my daughter would need to instruct me to leave.
01:56Laura.
01:58I called him to come and pick me up.
02:01Laura.
02:03Laura, I get that.
02:04But right now, emotions are running high, and I don't think you need to make a decision on this.
02:09Calvin, this is not a rash decision.
02:12We have been dealing with so much.
02:15We have?
02:16Okay.
02:18I have been dealing with so much with your family.
02:22You have?
02:24Calvin, why are you acting so confused right now?
02:26I am confused.
02:28Calvin, we have been going through so much with your family lately.
02:32Yes, but Laura, you're marrying me.
02:34Yes, and marrying you means I'll be marrying into your family.
02:39Okay, so my family has to learn to love you.
02:42This is a rough patch.
02:43We're going through a rough patch.
02:44Family goes through rough patches.
02:46I agree with you, son.
02:47But respect has to be the foundation upon which everything is built.
02:52And your family has no respect for my daughter.
02:56That's not true, sir.
02:57I'm sure you feel that way.
02:59It's your family.
03:01But they have not been good to Laura.
03:04And Calvin, you have allowed it.
03:06You were supposed to protect her.
03:08That's right, Calvin.
03:09And you didn't.
03:11And for me, that's a deal breaker.
03:13Laura, like I said, if you needed protection, I would protect you.
03:17What happened?
03:18Excuse me?
03:19You haven't protected her.
03:21A man is supposed to cover his wife.
03:23Look, okay, sir.
03:24I don't need direction about what a man is supposed to do.
03:29Calvin, don't disrespect my father.
03:31Look, I'm not disrespecting your father, but he needs to respect me, too.
03:34Huh, that's funny, because it's the exact same thing that I said to your mother.
03:39Laura, what do you want to do, sweetheart?
03:44I'm leaving.
03:46Then come on.
03:49Laura, if you walk out that door, I hope you know what you're doing.
03:58Bye, Calvin.
04:13Bye, Calvin.
04:16Bye, Calvin.
04:18Bye, Calvin.
04:20Bye, Calvin.
04:37I'm leaving.
04:38What do you want to do?
04:41Oh, hey, Dad.
04:43Hey, Junior.
04:44How'd you get here?
04:46Mama Miranda dropped me off.
04:50Okay.
04:52You okay?
04:54Why do you ask that?
04:55You don't look okay.
04:57I'm fine.
04:59You adults think us kids are stupid.
05:04No, I don't think you're stupid.
05:06I know you're smart.
05:08That's why I get so upset with the grades you've been bringing in here.
05:11Okay, let's not talk about grades.
05:14No, I'm glad you brought it up.
05:16I'm glad that you're admitting that you're smart,
05:18so from now on, I don't want to see any report cards with anything less than a B.
05:22Okay, okay.
05:23Just forget I ever said that.
05:25No, because what you said is true.
05:28Hey, Christian's party was fire.
05:31Yeah, I'm glad you had fun.
05:33Hey, I want to have a party for my birthday, too.
05:36Junior, I will be happy to throw you a party
05:38as long as I see an improvement in your school behavior.
05:41I'm trying.
05:43Yeah, well, try harder, Junior.
05:45We have you in a really good school.
05:47I know.
05:49Do you know that you're on academic and disciplinary probation?
05:53Mom sold me.
05:54You know what that is?
05:56Yeah.
05:57You're not going to be able to go back to that school
05:59unless you improve your behavior, son.
06:02Okay, I'll try to do better.
06:04Good.
06:05Because I know you're capable.
06:09What?
06:10Was Mama Laura leaving?
06:15You saw her?
06:16Yeah, when I was coming in.
06:18Well, what did she say?
06:20She said, I love you, Junior.
06:23She does.
06:23Y'all had a fight?
06:29Not a fight.
06:31Argument?
06:32Disagreement?
06:34It was something like that.
06:37Okay.
06:39Hey, uh, look, Junior, honestly,
06:43I don't know what's going to happen with Laura and I.
06:47But just know you have all the love
06:49that we both have to give.
06:51I know.
06:52I was just trying to make sure you was cool, Pops.
06:57I appreciate that, son.
07:00I got your back.
07:03And that's why I love you, buddy.
07:15Ooh.
07:16Ha!
07:17Still working on the contract.
07:19Mm.
07:20Yeah, baby, we got the notes back from an attorney.
07:22Do you all want to eat right now?
07:24I always want to eat right now.
07:26Uh, what he said.
07:29Okay, well, tomato soup?
07:31Grilled cheese.
07:32Mm.
07:32Thank you, Lord.
07:33Yes, indeed.
07:34Praise him, baby.
07:35He has a heart for all of his creatures.
07:39No, that's bad.
07:40Thank you, baby.
07:41Creatures?
07:42No shade.
07:45You know what?
07:47This attorney, I mean, he told his contract up.
07:51Yeah, when he said he was giving us a red line copy,
07:53I didn't know the whole thing would be red lines.
07:56It's going to take us forever to get through all these red lines.
08:01I knew that.
08:03How did you know that, Ella?
08:05Curtis, because you got it from that fast-talking Q Anthony Fields.
08:09That's how.
08:10It's just a standard contract, Ella.
08:13Curtis, if it's so standard, why are there so many red lines, baby?
08:16Well, we got that attorney you was fussing about.
08:19Good.
08:21Hey, y'all.
08:22Auntie, how you doing?
08:23Hey, baby.
08:24What's up, Floyd?
08:24What's up?
08:25I see y'all still working on that red line contract.
08:28Evidently.
08:29Look at the red lines.
08:30Yeah, I knew that.
08:32Well, I'm so glad everybody in this family knows so much.
08:36So, I'm glad you're here.
08:38Uh-oh.
08:40What's going on, CJ?
08:42Well, I just need to talk to Uncle about something.
08:45What now, CJ?
08:46Okay, I don't have it, okay?
08:49Have what?
08:50Look, I ain't got no money, okay?
08:51I'm strapped.
08:52So, whoever need money, tell them no.
08:55You know, I ain't got it either.
08:57Because I'm strapped with this whole business thing.
08:59And if it wasn't for Ella making me this grilled cheese, I'd have to go without.
09:04All right?
09:06Help me, father.
09:08Look, CJ, I got my own bills, okay?
09:10And I'm still trying to build my nest egg for Ella.
09:14Now, they're just telling me I ain't got it, okay?
09:16I know I have it.
09:17I can't.
09:18I ain't got no more money.
09:19I ain't got nothing to give out.
09:21Okay?
09:22The cup is empty.
09:23The well is dry.
09:26Are you done?
09:26Nobody wants your money.
09:30Who got arrested?
09:32It's nothing bad.
09:33I just need to take you shopping.
09:35Sure, CJ, you know I'm allergic to shopping.
09:37I knew it in wrong money.
09:40Oh.
09:42I need you to go shopping to get a new suit.
09:46I got suits.
09:47No.
09:48No, no.
09:49Not them three suits that you pull out every year that you got from Harold's Suit Depot.
09:54Uh, I bought those suits.
09:57Oh.
09:59And it's more than three.
10:00I got a suit for every color.
10:02Right.
10:02Okay, and that's all I need.
10:05Uncle Curtis, we need to go get new suits.
10:09Okay, CJ, what is going on?
10:12Um, the news station held a contest and the people voted for their local heroes and the
10:18two top people are being honored.
10:20Well, who got chosen?
10:23Funny you say that.
10:24They have the same name.
10:26Oh.
10:27Same name.
10:28What are they, twins?
10:29No.
10:30They have the same name.
10:33Chief C.
10:34Payne.
10:36Curtis Payne.
10:37And CJ Payne.
10:38You, you get out of here.
10:40What?
10:40You get out of here.
10:41We get honored to CJ?
10:43Yeah, man.
10:44We gonna be honored.
10:45No, no, no, no, no.
10:46We gonna be honored.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Just, just, just us.
10:49I know, but the city, the city, the city, we gonna be honored.
10:53We gonna be honored to show up, see, Payne's.
10:56See, Payne's.
10:57I don't even know what I go through.
10:59Yeah.
11:00We gonna be honored.
11:02Yes, honored.
11:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:11Hey, Dad.
11:12Hey, buddy.
11:14Your mom could have came up.
11:15Oh, let me, let me text her and let her know you made it up.
11:18Okay.
11:19You enjoy the party?
11:21Yeah, it was fun.
11:22Yeah, you look like you had a ball.
11:24I did.
11:25Did you enjoy the arcade and the go-karts last night?
11:28Yeah, it was fun.
11:29But mom just yells too much when I'm on the go-karts.
11:32Yeah, you, you probably freaked her out.
11:35You drive too fast.
11:36It's no fun if you can't go fast, Dad.
11:38Oh, I know.
11:39Your grandma used to freak out when I used to ride them.
11:42Wait, they had go-karts back then?
11:45Back then?
11:46But why do y'all act like your pops are so old?
11:49Well, I know it was different during ancient times.
11:53Not the ancient times, though.
11:55Wow.
11:57Anyway, are you hungry?
11:59Did your mom get you lunch?
12:00Mom told me to tell you to make me lunch.
12:03Me?
12:03Don't worry about it, Dad.
12:05Mama Laura will make me lunch.
12:06I like it when she makes me lunch anyways.
12:09Well, you know what?
12:10Today, your dad's going to make you lunch.
12:13Where are you going?
12:15To get Mama Laura.
12:16She said she was going to take me out for my birthday.
12:19I can't wait!
12:20Okay, look.
12:22Christian.
12:24Laura isn't here, okay?
12:26Well, where's Mama Laura?
12:36Okay, so the first thing I want to do is to get you a winning campaign slogan.
12:41A campaign slogan?
12:43Oh, I like that.
12:44Okay.
12:45It's very important because it drives everything.
12:48Okay, well, what should it be?
12:50Well, it pretty much should be something that explains your campaign.
12:53Huh, okay.
12:55Uh, oh.
12:57Elect Gloria Champagne.
13:00She's kind and she's tough.
13:02She's smart and she cares about you and your family and our neighborhood.
13:09You like that?
13:10For what?
13:12For the slogan.
13:14That's not a slogan.
13:15That's a soliloquy.
13:18What's wrong with it?
13:20A slogan is supposed to be short and catchy.
13:23When people hear it, it makes them think of you.
13:26Let's think of some winning campaigns.
13:29Like Barack Obama.
13:30Simple.
13:31Yes, we can.
13:34That simple?
13:35That simple.
13:36That brilliant.
13:37Oh, man.
13:38Okay.
13:38Uh.
13:42Believing for a brighter future.
13:44Ooh.
13:46There you go.
13:46Now, see, I like that.
13:48The only thing is I will change one word.
13:50Which word?
13:51Believing.
13:53That's the most important word.
13:54I know.
13:55I know.
13:55And it's a good word.
13:56But we could use it some other time.
13:59It's a better word.
14:00And I know what it is.
14:01Well, what's that?
14:03Working.
14:04Working for a brighter future.
14:06See, you're not just believing it.
14:08You're actually doing something about it.
14:11Wow.
14:12That, you know what?
14:12That's good.
14:13I know.
14:14I mean, I've got all these bright ideas.
14:16Did somebody right here just listen to me?
14:18I mean.
14:20Oh, you know what?
14:21Okay.
14:21Well, thank you, Malik.
14:23I better get downtown.
14:25But, okay.
14:26Working.
14:26Working.
14:27All right.
14:28Well, we can talk about this tomorrow.
14:29Yep.
14:30We sure will.
14:30Cool.
14:31Let me take a few of these.
14:32Here now.
14:33This is glow.
14:35I'm not working for a brighter future.
14:38I'm working.
14:39There you go.
14:44Hey, Malik.
14:45Hey.
14:46So, how'd the campaign meeting go?
14:48Oh, it went good.
14:49Yeah?
14:50Yeah.
14:51Glow left?
14:51Yeah.
14:52We're going to meet again tomorrow.
14:53Okay.
14:55Hey, Janine.
14:56Hey, Malik.
14:57What's up, cuz?
14:59So, what do we owe the pleasure of this surprise visit?
15:02Is CJ here?
15:03Mm-mm.
15:04What's wrong?
15:05Why does something have to be wrong for me to come by?
15:07Because that's the only time you come by.
15:10That's not true.
15:12So, you just wanted to come by and, uh, visit your family?
15:16That's what you wanted to do?
15:16Oh, Calvin, that's so sweet.
15:18Yeah.
15:19That actually is sweet.
15:21Sit on down so we can hear about your week.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Okay, but first, y'all sure CJ's not here?
15:26He is not here.
15:28Yeah, you sure you don't want to tell us what kind of mess you got yourself in?
15:32I didn't get myself into a mess.
15:34This time, y'all got me into a mess.
15:36All of us.
15:37Oh, I can't wait to hear this.
15:40Me either.
15:40I can't wait to hear how we got you into this big mess.
15:43For real?
15:44Well, not necessarily you, Malik.
15:46Oh.
15:47Oh, but so us.
15:48Never mind.
15:49I'll talk to y'all later.
15:50Oh, wait, wait, Calvin.
15:51Do not forget, all right?
15:53Your father and CJ are being honored this weekend.
15:55Nobody told me.
15:56Well, check your email, man.
15:59Oh, okay.
16:00Go buy a suit?
16:01Mm-hmm.
16:02Wait, it's like that?
16:03It's kind of a big deal.
16:04They're being touted as city heroes.
16:06Okay, I'll be there.
16:09Oh, and, uh, bring Laura.
16:12I'll talk to y'all later.
16:16Man, that dude is weird.
16:18For real.
16:28Baby, I am so proud of you.
16:31When I tell you I'm proud of you and you too, CJ.
16:34Yeah, Pop, I gotta say I was inspired.
16:36Well, yeah, it was the video that took me out.
16:38I mean, where did they find all that old footage?
16:40No news real.
16:43Yeah, I thought I had a blemish on my record that I'd never get over until I saw those
16:47people give me that long-standing ovation.
16:50Yeah, well, the city has moved on.
16:53And ain't you?
16:53That was never your fault, CJ.
16:55September takes the people a minute to realize it.
16:57And the way you handled that mass shooting, it lets the people know that we are in good
17:02hands with Chief Pang.
17:04That's right.
17:05I see that public opinion pushes everything.
17:08She always has.
17:10Just now, in this internet age, it's a career maker or breaker.
17:15CJ, listen.
17:16Cream always rises to the top.
17:18You always say that.
17:19Because it's true.
17:20It is true.
17:21When you are a good man who works hard and honestly, it will outlive any one incident.
17:28So, let's see these awards.
17:31Oh, very nice.
17:33Hi, it's beautiful.
17:35Chief Pang.
17:38This is nice.
17:39It's beautiful.
17:40Curtis, we got to decide where we're going to put this.
17:42No, baby.
17:43You know I don't care about this stuff.
17:45Curtis, he is the worst.
17:46All of your awards are back to stashed in a drawer somewhere, Curtis.
17:49In a drawer?
17:50Yeah, mine are in the same place.
17:52Well, y'all got to take them out the drawer and hang them up.
17:54Yes.
17:55Absolutely.
17:58We need to look around this house and figure out where we're going to hang your award, Mr. Payne.
18:04And CJ, you need to do the same thing at your house.
18:07Well, Unc and I, we're old school, you know.
18:10We don't relive the past.
18:12We're too consumed with what we're about to do next.
18:15You know you're right, CJ.
18:17It's all about the new business for me now.
18:20Okay, that's great.
18:21But you also have to look back and appreciate and acknowledge all that you've accomplished.
18:26Yeah, and y'all have accomplished a lot.
18:29Congratulations to the both of y'all.
18:31Thank you, man.
18:32Thank you, son.
18:33I got to tell you, having the whole family there to celebrate, even the grandchildren, that was something else.
18:41Yeah, so, um, about that.
18:44I promise you, I am not trying to be messy, but Calvin, where was Laura?
18:51I was thinking the same thing.
18:52I just wasn't going to say nothing.
18:54When?
18:55Well?
18:57Okay, Calvin, don't tell me she's still mad with me.
19:00Oh, no, is she still mad at me?
19:02Did she not come because she knew I was going to be there?
19:06Don't tell me Laura's still holding on to all of that stuff, man.
19:09She needs to stop.
19:14Calvin?
19:16She is.
19:18But did you invite her?
19:21Not exactly.
19:24Calvin, what do you mean?
19:25You didn't invite her?
19:27Doggone it, Calvin.
19:29She's going to think we did not invite her.
19:31Okay, listen.
19:32I have something to tell y'all.
19:34Okay.
19:35What?
19:36What is it, Calvin?
19:37Okay, the whole thing with Christian's party.
19:41Christian's party?
19:42Yes, the little cell phone thing.
19:45Oh, you mean when she purchased a cell phone for an eight-year-old without talking to his parents and
19:50should have?
19:51That cell phone?
19:52That cell phone.
19:53Okay, continue.
19:55Well, when we got home, she was furious and...
19:58And what, Calvin?
20:00She left me.
20:01She left you?
20:03Yes, she left.
20:05Her dad was there to pick her up and she left.
20:08Over a kid's birthday gift?
20:10No.
20:11Her issues go deeper than a cell phone.
20:14Yeah.
20:15Her and her dad, they don't feel like I was being a man.
20:19Wasn't being a man?
20:21Yes, because a man's job, what she said, is to protect his wife.
20:27Well, I agree with that.
20:29But, and she doesn't think I protected her.
20:32You didn't protect her?
20:34No.
20:37And for her, that's a deal breaker, so she left.
20:47You didn't protect her from what?
20:50Us?
20:52Yes, Mom.
20:53She feels that I didn't protect her from you guys.
20:55Okay, Calvin, come on.
20:57You gotta be kidding.
20:58I'm not.
20:59The engagement is off.
21:00Laura and I are no longer together.
21:03Sorry about that, Calvin.
21:04I can't believe this.
21:05I'm sorry, Calvin.
21:11I'm sorry.
21:31It's okay.
21:35What about you?
