[laidback music]
Oh my goodness,
this is the best clothes drive we've had so far.
I mean, we have so much stuff,
I mean, we can send it to any shelter we want.
Yeah, people brought and donated a lot of stuff.
You know what, Cora?
I'm so glad y'all the type of church
that cares so much about the community.
Well, that's because we're all one in the Lord.
We're one in Christ.
-This is nice, nice jacket. -Any, any more boxes?
Any more boxes you need me to take?
Okay, baby, uh, yeah.
-Those two over there... -Yeah.

Ain't it time for y'all to go ahead, get down to the church?
Yes, we do. My purse is already in the car.
-And your purse, my purse. -Mine, too, I got it, yeah.
Alright, so, it is about that time.

-Whew! -Okay.

-Bye, alright. -[Cora] Alright!
-I'll see you in a few hours. -[Philip] Okay, yeah.
No, take your time. Don't worry.
It's good, alright. Okay, alright.
[door closing]
Dad? Grandpa Vinny?
Mr. Brown?
Mr. Efe?
Ms. Anastasia? Ms. Karen?
Ooh, look like I got some alone time.
Wait a second...
Box. There it is!
Oh, yes.
Hm, let me check on my baby. It's too quiet in here.
Philip...
Oh. Oh my God, oh.
Oh!
Oh, Mom! What are you, what are you...?
What are you doing?
That...
Philip, what are you doin' watchin' porn?!
That, I didn't, I didn't, that, that's a virus.
Oh my gosh! You gonna have a virus
if you do any of those things!
It's gonna fall off!
Oh, oh!
-Oh my God! -[Philip] Okay.
-[door slamming] -That's bad.

-[door closing] -[Cora] Hey, Leah.
I was comin' back in here to check on you.
Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, Cora. I'm, uh...
I'mma have to stay back. I need to talk to Philip.
-Okay. -[Leah] And, uh...
I, I, I'll explain.
Okay. Alright.
-[Leah] Later. -Well, just let me know
if you need anything, okay?
Yep, will do.
[Cora] Alright. Here we go.
Just thank you for takin' them.
[Cora] Uh-huh, we'll see you later.
[doorbell ringing]
Philip Ezekiel Washington, get in here!
Yes, ma'am?
Don't "Yes, ma'am" me!
What are you doin' watchin' pornography, huh?
We taught you better than that!
Okay, okay, one, one second, Mom, look.
Everybody watches porn.
Oh, okay, so if everybody jump off the bridge,
you gon' follow 'em?!
We taught you to be a leader, not a follower.
Hey, and you're right. I get that.
I, I just think you're makin' the situation
a little bit worse than it actually is.
Oh, really, well then why did you do it
when you thought nobody was here, huh?
Because you knew it was a bad thing!
And you sneakin' and doin' it!
Oh, just the person we need to see.
Get back in here, Jeremy!
Aw man, I didn't even see y'all in here.
Yes, you saw us.
You definitely saw us,
and I need you to talk to your son,
'cause he was in there watchin' pornography on his cell phone!
Man, I thought it was somethin' serious.
It is serious!
What's wrong with you, boy?
Look, Dad, everybody watches all types of porn.
I'm sorry, when you say all types,
what do you mean, like, all types?
What's goin' on?
Oh, there's a bunch, like classic,
-anime... -Oh my gosh.
Bondage, cartoons.
So, they got anime porn now?
Jeremy Washington!
It's wrong.
Look, baby, this is a, a man thing, alright?
I'm gonna talk to him, and we'll handle it.
-Okay? -You better.
-Alright. -'Cause I don't believe this.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
So...
Back to this anime porn, right? So, [indistinct]?
-It's, it's crazy, like... -You got a picture?
I, I can, uh, I can send you a link.
I'll send you a link when I get to my room.
Okay, yeah, and close the door, man.
Look, every man in America watches porn, okay?
Just, you just can't...
Matter of fact, how did you get caught?
I left it up on my phone,
then I went to the restroom, and Mom saw it.
Oh my God, man, you youngins are so dumb.
I don't know anybody that's ever got caught
watchin' porn by they mom, man.
Lock the door next time.
Or at least wait until everybody 'sleep, somethin'.
Yeah, thanks, Dad.
Thought you guys were gonna kill me.
I should.
I should, I should kill you for gettin' caught.
Alright? Be careful, man.
Now, go chill out.
Let your mother cool off for a second.
Alright. Thanks again, Dad.
Yeah, don't mention it. Ever.
Hey. Look, babe, I spanked him.
It was crazy, I told him don't do that no more.
Alright?
I don't know what's wrong with him.
He was cryin' and everything.
You know I heard everything.
You heard, you heard me beatin' him?
You and me. Bedroom now.
[laidback music]
Damn it.
You knew how upset I was about this situation.
How could you go behind my back?!
I didn't go behind your back.
The situation wasn't that serious.
It wasn't serious?!
I don't want my son watchin' porn!
If you put your ear on my ear, you can hear better.
Ain't nothin' in your head, you're probably right.
Ooh, ooh!
Ooh, ooh, sound like, sound like they fightin'.
Oh my God.
I think they fightin'.
-Oh, and they goin' at it! -Ooh.
Okay, would you rather have him be out there makin' porn?
I would rather him be doing neither!
[Efe] Hey, what mischief are you two gentlemen up to now?
Leah and Jeremy are in here arguin'.
It sounds like Leah is winning.
Oh my, that is terrible. What up?
Uh, I think she said Jeremy was watchin' some porn.
Oh, Jeremy got to be more careful!
I thought I taught that dude better than that.
The first rule of porn is never get caught, man.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. I think she said Philip's name.
Yeah, she did. I, I think I heard Philip.
Shut up, shut up, we can't hear.
-You shut up. -You shut up!
Man, if I bust you in your ear, you won't hear a damn thing.
Well, if you feel like you can do it...
Shh, I've heard them!
-What? -It is young Philip
-that got caught. -Oh, really?
-Philip. -Oh my God.
I'm so proud of that dude.
What kinda porn he was watchin'?
A young man of his age should not be watching pornography.
It will ruin his perception of lovemaking.
Or enhance it.
Oh, hear somebody! Hear somebody!
Go, go, go, go, go!
Here they, here they come!
He didn't see us, he didn't see us!
I go right here?
[dramatic fake laughter]
The TV not even on.
Nah.
We're watchin' a silent movie.
-Yeah. -Really, y'all were listenin'.
-Yep, we heard. -Yep, not gonna lie,
I thought it was you that got caught.
Yeah right, man. That's rule number one.
I ain't never gettin' caught.
-Yeah, boom, man. -Both of y'all heathens.
Mr. Brown, you don't watch porn?
No, my eyes are sacred and holy. No!
"No!"
You see how he ain't answer the question, huh?
BC, before Christ.
I seen it, but I wasn't watchin'.
That sounded very nasty. Leah sounds very upset.
Yeah, she was. And she was real mad.
She gon' say she can't trust me now
because I told Philip to go behind her back.
She didn't like the way I handled it.
That's 'cause you was wrong.
We normally come to
common ground with these type of things,
but I don't think we gonna see eye to eye on this one.
We need a mediator.
Y'all want in?
I used to be a marriage counselor
and, and a family mediator.
You think you can get us on the same page?
I've, I've counseled couples with bigger problems than this.
You ever watch porn?
We all have.
You're hired.
I seen it, but I wasn't watchin' it.
That's a difference.
Oh, oh, oh, you like fake women now?
Huh, you get none of this, then, no more.
[indistinct]
Oh my gosh, you gon' teach the boy how to watch porn?
"Close your door, close your door."
Hey, Leah.
Girl, you pacin' back and forth like a lion.
Ooh, that's maybe because I wanna
take a bite outta my husband and my son right now.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Leah.
Come on, have a seat. Have a seat.
Are you okay?
Come on, come on.
Let's just sit down for a second.
Mm...
Ooh.
Ooh, whoa.
Oh my God. Cora...
[Cora] Yes?
Mm, mm, mm.
I...
What's so bad?
I caught Philip watchin' pornography, Cora.
-[Cora] Oh... -Ooh.
That's why you didn't come to the church with me.
Yes, I mean, Cora, he was just a little baby.
-[Cora] Yes. -I was holding him in my hand.
Ugh, ugh, oh my gosh, now he watchin' porn.
Oh, you know what's even worse?
-[Cora] Hm? -Is that Jeremy
didn't see anything wrong with it.
Oh no, oh no.
And he was supportin' him behind my back.
-Okay. -[Leah] Can you believe that?
-No. -This is foolishness.
-I can't believe it! -Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Well, I see why you was pacin' back and forth.
-I, I, I, I understand. -Oh...
You should've seen it, Cora. It was all on his...
Oh, ugh! Oh, dear God.
It was all over...?
On his phone, on his phone. I can't.
Oh, Lord.
I'm sorry, is there anything I can do for you?
Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
What am I gon' do?
[knocking on door]
Hello, hello? We comin' in.
Good?
What you got your eyes covered for, man?
'Cause I don't know what he got on his computer screen.
It's just homework.
It is homework, don't worry about it.
You safe, be cool.
Does everybody know?
[Mr. Brown] Yeah. Everybody knows.
[Vinny] Pretty much.
You doin' okay, son?
It's so embarrassing.
You ain't got nothin' to be embarrassed about.
All teenagers watch porn, okay?
I just, I just hate hurting Mom like that.
Yeah, me too.
You might need to stop watchin' porn, son.
Never should've started watchin' it.
Man, porn is gift to mankind.
You just gotta learn the rules, Philip.
Rule number one, never get caught.
You gonna bust Hell wide open.
Go by yourself, don't take this baby with you.
Yeah, well, you need to take a break at least,
until things cool off.
Ain't nobody takin' no breaks! Here's what you do, man.
That's my grandson, I'm puttin' my foot down.
You wanna watch porn?
You need lights down up in here. Light some candles.
Get some soft music, man, and enjoy yourself.
And lock the damn door.
Get thee behind us, Satan, get behind us now!
No!
I got some good stuff right here, you need...
Oh honey, you just broke up. It's okay, sweetie.
You need another one?
Yes, I need another.
Okay.
I think I need another one.
Okay, it's okay.
I'm so sorry.
-Oh my God. -You know, pornography is a,
is a big thing in our community.
But people just don't know how to control themselves with it.
I know, girl, and I just don't want that for my baby.
[Cora] I know.
We all want our children to be perfect.
And when you look at Philip, I know.
We, he's right there.
He's right, he's, he's right there.
That's my little perfect angel, angel.
He's normally here doin' his homework,
doin' everything he's supposed to do.
He's really a good kid, Leah.
He's pretty, he's close to perfect.
Okay. I guess you're right, Cora.
-[Cora] Yes. -You think I'm overreacting?
I don't think so.
No, I think it's good that you let him know how you feel.
Yes.
-[Cora] Right? -I do, too, Cora.
But our kids are gonna make mistakes.
So, when they fall,
we just have to be there to just lift 'em up.
You're alright, it's okay. It's okay.
Okay, okay, I think I forgive Philip.
[Cora] You forgive him?
But that Jeremy, on the other hand,
now he's got another thing comin', Cora.
-[Cora] Alright. -Yeah,
-he got another thing comin'. -[Cora] Okay.
And now he, we got a whole counseling session with Efe now.
[Cora] Okay, but I think it's great
that y'all have a counseling session.
-Okay, okay. -[Leah] Yeah, see?
-Yeah, we gon' see. -Alright.
'Cause you know what? I'mma go grab him.
'Cause he's supposed to be havin'
another conversation with Philip,
and I don't know how that's goin'.
You gonna grab him?
I'mma have to put him in a headlock Cora!
Okay, okay, would you...? Oh, wait!
Ooh.
Well, you just call me if you need to.
[indistinct]
if you need somethin', just call me if you need me.
If you need anything, call me.
-[Leah] I'm gonna get him, Cora. -[Cora] Okay, okay.
Forgiveness.
Yeah, forgive. Just try to forgive.
[Leah sobbing] Help me, Lord.
[Cora] Work with her, Lord. Work with her.
[Leah groaning]
[indistinct] Look at it, Brown.
What the what?! What?!
-What?! -Hey, y'all.
Rock, paper, scissors!
[All] Tree!
-What? -Tree.
-We's trees. -Trees.
Okay, I don't even wanna know what's goin' on in here.
No, we just treein'.
-You, you. -Hm?
Let's go.
Ooh...
[laidback music]
So...
Have you had marriage counseling before?
Once, before we were married.
Well, good, good, good.
So, so, you understand how the process works.
Eh, first, understand that counseling is normal,
and beneficial for the relationship.
The key is to get to the root of the problem,
and then to build from there.
-Eh? -[Leah] Okay.
-Sounds good, Doc. -[Efe] Okay.
Uh, one good way to, eh, know how the other one feels
is to perform a role-reversal exercise.
Eh, so, Leah, you would respond as Jeremy would,
and Jeremy, you'll respond as Leah.
-Easy. -Okay.
[Efe] Okay, great, very good. Okay.
So, Leah.
Walk me through how Jeremy sees this marriage in your eyes.
Gladly. Hm.
"This marriage is perfect.
You know, I do what I want when I want.
Yeah, I even go behind my wife's back after, uh, actin' like
we were on the same team!"
That's me?
Jeremy?
"Oh, man, my marriage can be perfect,
as long as everything goes my way.
God forbid anybody sees anything differently.
I'm crying again."
Ooh, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm!
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
"I would never let my daughter watch porn, uh-uh.
But you know, because Philip is a boy, it's all good.
You know that's what we do. Huh, mm-hm, mm-hm."
"I don't know nothin' about men and porn,
but if I don't like, ain't nobody gonna like it.
You hear me, Cora? Happy wife, happy life."
[Leah] After all of this,
you're still defending pornography?
I'm not defending porn,
I'm defending your reaction to it.
Porn can mess up sex, relationships, women,
everything, anything in between that.
That's why it's important that when a boy watches porn,
we address it with him,
so that he knows how to treat a woman in a relationship.
You know what, why didn't you just say that?
Instead of actin' like I wasn't important at all, Jeremy?
Well, every time you want something,
-it's the most pressing... -Every time you want somethin',
-it's your way or no way! -Oh boy.
-Here we go. -You know what, Efe?!
-I am sick of this! -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ain't no resolving this.
Because he's just gon' keep doin' that!
Shh. Leah.
Hm?
All of that, all of that.
[Efe] Please, sit.
-She crazy. -[Efe] Shh, hey.
Sit, please, please. Please, please.
I asked to say something about this marriage,
and you both have said nothing but negative things.
Nothing positive.
Is there nothing positive in this marriage?
Mm-mm.
Jeremy, tell me something positive about this marriage.
She's an amazing mother.
She's beautiful, funny, and...
She's the most loyal person I know.
Leah.
He's a great dad.
And he's a, a great husband when he's not breakin' his promise.
His promise?
Alright, yeah, she's right.
When we got together,
we agreed that whenever it came to situations with the kids,
we would always be on the same page,
so that they can see us unified.
Mm.
I broke the promise, and I'm sorry.
Thank you for that.
You're welcome.
I just, we just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
You know, I just...
We were younger when we came up with that.
Yeah. We know that ain't true.
But you know what?
I'm glad it happened.
We can disagree, but my love for you will never change.
My love for you would never change.
Even when you get on my last nerve.
I'm sorry I went behind your back, okay?
I'm sorry I didn't hear you out.
-Babe... -Hm?
There's only one solution to, to get past all of this.
Hm?
We just gotta just go watch some porn.
-Don't start with me. -[Efe] Okay, okay, okay, okay.
[Efe chuckling]
-Laugh. -Ha-ha.
Good session. Hm?
Same time next week?
-Sure. -Sure.
So, no porn?
Stop.
[laidback music]
Hey, guys.
Hey, Cora, Venice, uh, ask about me at church?
She sure did not.
Hey, Mr. Brown? Mr. Brown.
-[Vinny] Look at that. -Mr. Brown!
Oh, he's alright.
He's just, he's just froze
with somethin' I showed him earlier.
Well, what did he see earlier?
Oh, it's that, that porno, man.
It'll mess you up if you ain't used to seein' it, like Brown.
What, what do you mean?
I mean, Mr. Brown, you been watchin' porn?
Just showed him what it looked like.
-You wanna see it? -[Cora] What it looked like?
I mean, Mr. Brown, are you okay?
Cora, we done went to Sodom and Gomorrah.
What in the world?
-What? -Cora, just pure evil.
The, the little cartoons was doin' love, Cora.
-[Cora] They was doin' love? -They was doin' love.
[Vinny] Great graphic. Do you wanna see it?
I got a better one now.
Look, I don't wanna see that, Vinny!
Why you keep, nobody wanna see no porn!
Got my daddy lookin' at porn.
Come on, Brown, look at it.
It ain't like it's bondage or nothin' like that.
It's just straight porn, come on.
I'm straight, but I'm not gonna go to Hell with you.
You know what, Cora?
He said he wasn't gonna kill, kill us with no flood no more,
but he's gon' burn him down.
He about to get the whole earth burnt down.
This is great stuff, you need to look at this, Mr. Brown.
Don't nobody wanna see that! You got my daddy...
Alright, I got a better one. Hold on a second.
You need to see this right here.
No, oh my God! [indistinct]
Mr. Brown look, look here.
[Vinny] Come on, precious, don't be like that, precious!
I thought you was a Christian, don't be like that!
