- Alright, all done, Ms. Leah.
- Mm, thank you, Lindor.
So, just like a businessman will tell you,
the best way to solve a problem is to prevent the problem
before it starts.
- I wish Brown's mommy and daddy had lived by the same motto.
- [laughter] - Efe, Efe, not now.
I want us to take this seriously.
- I'm serious. - [laughter]
- Prevent the problem.
By the time trouble starts, it's often too late.
- Hence, my point.
Brown is now here and we're stuck with him.
- [laughter]
- Nurse Leah, this is wisdom, my lady.
I only wish that some of the folks in my courtroom
could've understood such simple facts.
- Thank you, Judge Junie.
The same principle applies to your health.
Preventive medicine is about preventing diseases
and other health problems before they develop.
- Ah, thank you for setting up
this health fair for us, Nurse Leah.
It is a blessing.
In my country, healthcare's not so readily available.
- It's not always readily available here either.
- [doorbell]
- Church service was more drama
than any of the Chitlin Circuit theater I did.
- Well, I didn't know if we were, I didn't know
if we was at church or doing a reality show.
I thought they was gonna start fightin'
- I am so sorry, Ms. Anastasia.
I'm just, I'm just embarrassed.
I cannot believe this.
Hey Lindor, baby, how you doing?
- Hey Ms. Cora. What happened in church?
- The pastor's wife told the whole congregation
that her husband, the pastor, had been sowing his wild oats
with two women among the congregation.
- Sowing oats?
What is that? - [laughter]
- You, you don't get it?
The pastor was a rolling stone. - [laughter]
- Mr. Brown. - What's a rolling stone?
- He was doing love, boy. - Oh.
- MR. BROWN: You young people.
- The pastor's a playa.
- It's not funny, sweetheart. That's not funny.
- My bad, I'm sorry.
- Oh yes, Lindor, when you finish all that mopping,
can you go outside and grab all that mail
that's stuffed in that mailbox, please?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Far be it for me to judge but your pastor's just ridiculous.
I mean, I'm not above having a side piece,
but I would never stoop to his level.
I mean, I had my husband and my boyfriend, but that's it.
Anything more would be just disrespectful.
- I'm so disappointed. I can not believe Pastor.
And I enjoy his sermons so.
And now we gotta go find a new church home.
- Well, if he's a good pastor, why leave?
- Me and Cora don't play all of that foolishness.
We don't do all of that.
And besides, this is grown folk talk.
- That's right.
- Cora, I am so sorry you're pastor disappointed you.
Um, I'm gonna go check out Leah's health fair.
This is absolutely fabulous, Leah.
Oh, Marilyn would be so proud of us.
God rest her soul.
- Yes, ma'am.
She inspired this.
We have to take care of our bodies.
- Hey Judge Junie, I got some mail for you.
- For me? I haven't given anyone this address.
- Didn't you write your son?
- Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, uh, he must have written back, I'll take it.

This is the best day of my life.

Naw, I ain't upset.
I can't feel my legs.

That's alright. - I did. You, you feeling okay?

I'm a little upset about what's going on down at the church.
It's got my nerves bad. - I heard about the way
they was carrying on down there yesterday.
- Yeah, I mean it's awful. Terrible.
- Yeah, that's too bad. I know you really
liked that pastor, too. - Yes.
I don't know no other pastor that can preach like him.
That man can really preach. I hate that.
- That's a shame, Cora. - Yes, it is.
- I mean, a shame. - It is.
Now, the whole city is talking about us.
It's just heartbreaking.
Just for the whole body of Christ.

He's looking like new money out there.

He hasn't seen him in, like, ten years or something.
- Wow, good for him. - Yeah.

and look at this picture I just saw online.
Philip took my jacket to the Migos concert
without my permission. - Wait, I made it online?
- [audience laughter]
- Philip, why did you do that?
- I'm not gonna lie, Dad.
The jacket just went really well with my outfit.
- [audience laughter] - Yeah, give me my
jacket, Philip.
- I-I wish I could, but I lost it.
- You lost my jacket?
- Hey look, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.
- What did I tell you about losing things?
And how do you lose a jacket that you're wearing?
- Alright, look, it's not my fault.
So, I'm at the concert, right?
And then they start playing "Walk It Talk It".
And I'm feeling it, right?
- [audience laughter] - Right, right, right.
And then, and then, I'm getting a little hot.
So, I take the jacket off.
Then, they start playing "Bad and Bougie".
Now, I'm really in the zone. - [audience laughter]
- Okay, okay and the next thing you know, the jacket's gone.
- Dad, you have to do something.
- So, why didn't you say something?
- I was gonna go online to replace it.
But look at this, it's one of a kind.
Special edition. Who, who woulda knew?
- [audience laughter]
- Only one is in the world and she got it.
How? Look, look, I'm sorry.
- I will never forgive you for this.
You guys let him get away with everything.
- Come on, Sandra, wait a minute.
- A little dramatic. - [audience laughter]
- It's a danim jacket, a denim jacket.
- Wow. - [audience laughter]
- Right? I mean, and you wanna date that.
- [audience laughter] - I think you should make
up with your sister. It'll make it a lot easier on me.

- Eh, look, I know my sister.
She's just gonna be mad for the rest of the century.
Good luck. - [audience laughter]
- Alright, man, well, just hurry up.
We gotta go downtown. - Alright.

You looking sharp in that outfit, man.
- Too bad I can't take it back.
- I heard you were meeting up with your son, right?
- You heard wrong.
- Is everything okay? - He stood me up.
- What, he didn't come?
- No, my son hates me.
- ♪ - Don't say that Judge.
I'm sure your son doesn't hate you.
- Oh, he does. - Why do say that?
- When I divorced his mother...
- You divorced him too. - No, I was always present.
- Were you like my dad, mean and strict?
- I was a firm disciplinarian, yes, but nothing Draconian.
- I'm sorry, what?
- You young people oughta read something sometimes.
I didn't go overboard.
Uh, like I heard your dad did.
- Okay, so then what happened?
- College happened. - College?
- He got so radical and down for the cause
and we would argue.
At first, I thought it was healthy debate.
But it became more bitter and resentful.
- What were you guys arguing about?
- He didn't like the judicial system.
And his dad was part of the judicial system.
- Huh, my dad too.
He's a, he's a sheriff.
- Yeah, he likes to dance, too, I heard.
- [audience laughter]
- Yeah, word gets around pretty fast around here.
- I don't want to bore you. I'm sure you've got
some place to be. - You're not, you're not
boring me at all. I'm just waiting on Philip
to go downtown. - Hmm.
- Plus I like talking to old people.
- [audience laughter]
- But no, I meant I really I think, um,
more young guys like us need wisdom from your generation.
- Yeah. - So, your son didn't like the
fact that you were a judge?
- Well, he did not.
But I, on the other hand,
was proud that I got criminals off the street.
I-I took pride in helping make our streets safer.
- Safer? What, you didn't lock up a
bunch of our brothers did you? - I did.
I-I locked up anyone who committed a crime
and I was very proud of that.
- The system throws us black men away
like our lives don't matter and you were part of that?
- Oh, no, you are starting to sound just like my son.
- But Judge, it's the truth.
Alright, black men in the judicial system--
- Should make sure they stay away from there
if they really believed their lives mattered.
- Speaking of, Philip and I are on our way to a peaceful vigil.
- You are just like my son.
- Uh, you ready?
Um, my dad said I gotta be back in two hours.
- Goodnight, gentlemen. Please, stay safe out there.
- Yeah, goodnight, Judge.
I'll be praying for you and your son to patch things up.
- Oh, that prayer has gone unanswered for over ten years.
- Sorry.
- [knock at door] - Knock, knock, knock.
- Come in.
- I found these clothes in the laundry.
- Oh, thank you. I was just about to
go grab them. - Well, I figured since
I was down there, I'd just save you a trip.
- Bless yo' heart 'cause you know
those stairs can take you out.
- [laughter] - You telling me.
- I heard your pastor made a public apology today.
- Yeah, I heard, but I ain't thinking about that man.
- Mom.
- Uh, honey, you see Ms. Cora and I talking?
- Sorry, Ms. Cora. Mom, I need my own room.
- I-I-I know you're father and I have talked about it.
Uh, y'all are too old to be staying in the room together.
- Mom, please. I can't stay in there with him.
- Well, what happened?
- He stole my jacket and then lost it.
- Well, your dad told me.
- I'm never talking to him again.
- Now, wait a minute, now, hold on.
He is your brother.
You can't just stop talking to him forever.
- He's not my brother anymore.
- Well, did he apologize? - Yes, but he should've
never touched my stuff without asking me.
- Well, you have a point there.
That's true, but he's your brother.
And sometimes family members
do things that we don't like
but family is all we have.
- Mmhmm, Cora's right.
That's your only brother and you know how he is.
- And that's not the point.
He can't keep taking my stuff without asking me.
It's unforgivable.
- Oh, that girl has to, she gotta calm down.
She's just, she just have to.
- She will. - Well, you know what?
You gotta learn to forgive people when they apologize.
- Does that go for your pastor too, Cora?
- There you are.
