- Price, where's Asha?
She's supposed to be here at two
p.m.
She's late!
- [Price] She'll be here in two
minutes.
- Hey girl.
- Hey.
Girl, he is on a warpath
'cause you're late.
- I'm sure he is, but so
I don't give a damn today.
He's too damn demanding.
- Understood.
- Is it wrong for me to
wish death on someone?
Like I wish he would get hit by
a bus.
Or at least fall out of a window
to a slow and painful death.
- Well, I think you
better just get inside.
- Send them in on my cue.
London!
- You're late.
- I know, I know, but
finding talent takes time.
You're going to love these
future stars.
There's star power in all of
them.
- Like I said, you're late.
I don't want to see them now.
Tell them to go to another
agency because of your
t*rd.
Punctuality is the true
sign of seriousness.
Obviously you're not serious.
You can leave now, thank you.
- Fine.
May the very ground he
walks on shatters and breaks
and sends him straight to hell.
- Girl, you crazy for real.
(groans)
- Hopin' drinking this
water and cranberry juice
is moving things along.
I swear this is ridiculous.
Pissing all over every five, 10
minutes
is getting on my damn nerves.
- I'm about to put on the
show, give me the code.
- You ain't playing with my
sh*t.
- Damn it, you're not supposed
to swear!
- Neither are you.
- I won't tell mom if you
let me use your tablet.
Who are you texting?
- No one.
Lookin' at the b-ball schedule.
We got a game on Monday.
You think Dad might come?
Probably not.
- Yes he will, he always
comes through for us.
- You for real, girl?
- Well, he always comes to my
things.
Maybe he just likes me
better than he likes you.
Haha!
- Doubt it, is he coming to
your little dance on Friday?
Bet he don't.
- I know he will.
Call him, so you can feel
shady when he says yes.
Call him.
(phone rings)
- [London] Hey Will, what's up
son?
- Hey Dad, I got you on speaker
so Kelis can ask you a question.
Here she is.
- Hey Daddy.
- Hey baby girl, what's up?
- Are you coming to my dance on
Friday?
It's a daddy-daughter winter
dance.
- [London] No, no I can't.
- But Daddy, why not?
It just won't be the same
without you.
- [London] No, yeah I
know, I know, I can't.
Yeah I have to work tonight.
- [Kelis] Okay.
- [London] Well definitely
next time, okay?
- Yeah.
- All right.
I love you sweetie.
- All right Dad, talk to you
whenever.
- [London] Thanks son, take
care, bye-bye.
- Told you.
Here.
(emotional music)
(jazz music)
(humming along)
(door creaks)
- Hello hello.
- Way.
My lady of the night,
lookin' like a million bucks!
- Hello darling.
- How you doing?
- I'm wonderful.
- Man it's good to see you.
Hey mama.
- Mm, so good, so good.
- Yeah it's good to see you.
Get this coat off.
- Oh lovely.
- Fo' sho'.
- Oh, well you're in a good
mood.
- Have a seat.
- We're having vodka?
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Fo' sho'.
So, I wanted to kind of
talk about me and you.
- Really?
- Yeah, if that's cool.
- Okay.
- All right.
Got some stuff for us, you know?
- So what are we celebrating?
- We are
celebrating us.
- [Chantal] Really?
- Really.
- Celebrating me, celebrating
you.
- To us.
- Christmas time.
(glasses clink)
Mm-mm!
It's good, right?
- Are we having another
straightaway?
- [London] Straightaway.
- Okay now you're starting
to scare me a bit.
- Why, what's wrong?
- [Chantal] I don't know,
we're having vodka all of a
sudden.
I mean come on, talk to me.
What's on your mind?
What's happening?
- I been thinking about this.
- [Chantal] Okay.
- So I been thinking about us,
I've been thinking about
Christmas, you know?
Christmas is three weeks away.
- Mhmm, oh it's our
third Christmas together.
- That's what I'm saying,
our third Christmas together.
So look, I gave it a lot of
thought.
Was thinking about me and you,
you know I ain't want to do
it too close to Christmas.
I was thinking maybe we
could just, like chill.
- Chill with what, what do you
mean chill?
- You know, just kind of pull
back
from a serious relationship and
just,
you know kick it, me and you.
- Wait, come again?
- Right so--
- I don't follow.
- Christmas time, holidays,
chill, kick back just--
- Okay stop talking, stop
talking.
Okay.
- That's it.
See that's what I'm talkin'
'bout.
- Are you seriously doing this
right now?
What does that even mean,
you want to take a step back?
You want to go in reverse?
- I was thinking you know,
we could just cool things
off for a little bit.
- Why?
Things are fine I thought!
We were getting along,
everything is great.
Oh my god.
You're doing this weeks before
Christmas.
What the hell, London?
- That's why I didn't
want to do it on the day.
- What.
So what, you're supposed
to get some cool points
for not doing it on Christmas?
This makes no sense!
We've been together for two
years!
- That was a good two years.
That was a good two years.
I mean it's over, Chantal.
I figured that you would be
woman enough to understand that.
- So just like that, it's over?
- Chantal, it is what it is.
- Now I understand the vodka.
We needed something
stronger to toast to us.
To us.
- Come on now, why would you do
that?
Why would you...
- You don't care how much you
hurt people.
I don't care about your bloody
floor.
You are the biggest as*h*le I
know.
- Go to bat on that.
(hip hop music)
Man, what the...
(grunting)
(toilet flushing)
(crowd cheering)
Come on, pressure, pressure!
You gotta pressure the ball!
- You know I enjoy spending time
with you.
- Thank you sweetie.
Hey look, he gonna set the pit.
Open shot, it's a shot!
(crowd cheering)
- Good game, good company--
- Man that's good company I know
you two.
Hey come on man, catch the ball
man!
- London, are you okay?
- Alrighty, Mr. Mitchell.
The doctor will be in shortly,
okay?
- Thank you.
- You're so very welcome.
- Have a good one.
- You too.
- [London] Sheeit, nursey nurse.
- Mr. Mitchell.
- What's goin' on doc?
- How you doing?
- Doing good, how are you doing?
- I'm good.
- You lookin' good, too.
- Thank you.
Your stitches look good.
Your face will heal in no time.
- Yeah I'm trying to get
my handsomeness back, doc.
You know, honey dips like me
on full swag tilt, you know what
I mean?
- Mhmm, mmkay.
Well, you know just don't
sit in the front row
of high school basketball
games ever again.
- You need to stop.
- And stop talking trash!
- You got jokes, huh?
So messed up, doc.
You got jokes, man.
- Breathe in.
Okay.
Breathe in.
All right.
In all seriousness, your face
will heal
and the scar will be minimal,
if there's one at all.
- All right.
- Other than your little
basketball accident,
have you been experiencing
any other problems?
Because you know I haven't
seen you in over a year.
- Yeah I know it's been a while,
doc.
No, I mean I'm fine doc.
Everything's good.
- Let me be the judge of that,
okay?
- Been having problems pissin',
like it's been taking a while to
come out.
I don't know what's goin' on.
It's like I'm nervous
or something, you know?
I don't know.
- About urinating?
- Yeah, just,
I'm good, doc.
- Okay well, slow down for a
second okay?
Let's think about your urination
troubles.
- All right.
- Is there any burning?
- No, no burning.
- Okay, is there a thick
purulent drainage
coming from your p*nis?
- You think I'm a h* doc, no!
Dang.
- Okay but while we're on the
subject,
let's talk about your sexual
habits.
- Please, let's do that.
- Are you using condoms, or
other forms of protection?
- XLs on lock, whassup doc?
- All right.
- Hm.
- [Doctor] Do you have
to go more at night?
- No, I'm good doc.
- Any trouble with erections?
- You want me to show you?
You flirting with me, doc?
- No.
- You look good, doc.
I'm sorry, okay.
No I'm good, I'm good, I'm good
doc.
- Okay, 'cause you need to be
vigilant
about keeping yourself healthy.
Especially now that you're what,
40?
- 41.
- Okay, well at 40, there are
several tests you need to get.
Think of it as a tune up for
life.
You know as a black male,
there are diseases like prostate
cancer
that you can get at this age.
- Psh, I ain't got no
prostate cancer, come on doc,
I'm good.
I'm trying to tell ya I'm good.
I don't have any of that stuff.
- Okay, my job is to tell
you what you need to know,
not what you wanna hear.
How about you come in and
get some blood tests done,
and some age appropriate
screenings
so we can get down to the bottom
of why you're having
difficulties urinating
and just make sure there's
nothing else going on.
- You gonna drive me crazy
with all these screenings.
I don't have anything, doc.
I'm good, telling you.
Butter.
- [Doctor] Okay look, I'm
not trying to scare you.
But I recommend you get the
screenings
just to be on the safe side.
- What kinda procedures and
screenings
are you talking about?
- If I tell you, will you still
go?
- It depends on what you gonna
tell me.
Just be straight up, what's up?
- Okay, there are two tests.
- Mhmm.
- A PSA test, which will measure
the level
of PSA in your blood.
- Mm, okay what's the other
test?
- Just requires me to stick
my finger in your rectum to--
- Geez, you crazy.
- Size of your prostate--
- Hell no!
- [Doctor] And or--
- Don't even need to finish
talking.
You ain't even need to finish
talking.
You ain't sticking your finger
in my a*s.
You stick my finger in your a*s.
- Mr. Mitchell, stop acting like
that.
This is your health we're
talking about.
- Whatever, doc.
Talkin' stickin' fingers
in people's asses?
I ain't rollin' like that, I'm
good.
- Call over to the office
and schedule an appointment
with me next week, okay?
- With you?
- Yes.
- All right, you said later
tonight?
- Next week, I'll see you next
week.
- Lunch.
- [Doctor] Goodbye Mr. Mitchell.
- Damn doc, sh*t!
Doc,
prostate, I ain't doin' that
sh*t.
(hip hop music)
- So you're telling me that you
missed
your daughter's dance to go
to some basketball game with
some woman?
- Let me see that?
It's all over, it ain't like
that damn.
- You have no idea how much
a*s covering I had to do.
Our children saw this, Kelis was
crushed.
Do you understand that?
You're going to make this up to
her.
I'm telling you you're gonna
make this up,
and you're gonna make it up
soon.
Do you understand what I'm
saying?
What the hell happened to your
face?
That's what you get, dummy.
That is exactly what you get.
- You act like Kelis
is the only person
that's affected by this.
- Kelis is the main one
affected.
Who in the hell else
would be affected by this?
- Hell else you think?
- Oh, that exotical you were
dating?
'Cause it ain't me.
The exotical?
- She's black and when she finds
out,
it's not like this is gonna help
any.
(laughs)
- This is gettin' funnier by the
moment.
Your karma is gonna catch up
with you, do you understand me?
It's catching up.
- Are you done?
'Cause I gotta go meditate, yo.
- What did you say?
- I said I gotta go meditate.
- You have to meditate?
- Yeah.
- [Mercedes] When'd you start
that?
- I have to go to the hospital.
Get a screening for cancer.
- Cancer?
Why, mhmm, cancer?
- Yeah.
- You are up to your tricks
again.
You know what, did you really
think
I was gonna fall for that?
- Why would I, ah.
You on one tonight.
Why would I be playing games?
Why would I be playing games
with something like that?
- You been playing games
for the last 10 years.
Come on, come on, and
who's getting screwed?
It's us, it's your children,
it's us.
You need to get your damn life
in order.
Make your children a priority.
I am so sick of this.
- Never mind, talkin' like a
mother...
Hey I mean are you done or I
mean--
- [Mercedes] Am I done?
Are you done?
- With what, talking to you yeah
I'm done,
believe me, trust, I'm done.
- You're done?
You're an as*h*le.
- So be it.
Goodnight.
Lock the door.
Thank you.
(phone rings)
- [Chantal] Hello?
- Hey how you doin', it's me.
- [Chantal] What do you want?
- Dang, I was just calling
to see how you were doing.
Have you been online?
You see anything about a
basketball game?
- [Chantal] A basketball game?
Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- [Chantal] You broke
up with me two days ago,
now you want to talk about
some damn basketball game?
(dial tone beeps)
(phone rings)
- Hey, what's happening
baby girl, how you doing?
- [Kelis] Hey Daddy, just
calling to see how you're doing.
- I'm just sittin' here, got
a little down time, what's up?
- [Kelis] Mom said you had an
accident
and messed up your face.
- Yeah, I did.
- [Kelis] Was it like a car
accident?
'Cause Will is acting
like you got your face
all jacked up at a basketball
game.
You wouldn't ditch a dance
with me for a basketball game.
- No no no, sweetie.
I would never do anything like
that.
Yeah, it was an accident so
my face is messed up sweetie.
- [Kelis] I thought so.
- Maybe when I'm feelin' better,
you and I are gonna go
do something really big.
It's gonna be fun.
How's that sound?
- [Kelis] Yeah.
Daddy I gotta go, okay?
- Okay, all right.
I'll talk to you later.
- [Kelis] Bye Daddy, I love you.
- I love you too, all right bye.
(emotional music)
Yes, how are you?
I would like to schedule an
appointment
with Dr. Hampton please.
As soon as possible will
probably be best.
Yep.
All right, thank you very much.
All right, have a good one.
(jazz music)
Hey, Chantal, how you doing?
- I see your face was messed up.
- Yeah, I was in an accident.
- If you want to call
being hit in the face
with a basketball an accident,
then yeah.
- Okay.
I guess there's no denying it
then, huh?
- Not at all.
I can't believe you.
You went to a basketball
game with another woman
one day after breaking up with
me.
Who does that?
- So are you gonna chill or
are you gonna let me explain?
- How can you?
- I didn't want to cheat on
you, so I broke up with you.
I love being with you--
- Oh stop it, stop it.
Don't give me that I love you
BS.
You don't love anyone but
yourself.
Now I'm wondering if the last
two years were a joke to you.
- Come on.
- Oh stop it, no get off,
stop it, get off of me.
Answer me this.
Did I ever mean anything to you?
- Of course you meant something
to me.
Why would you say that?
- Such a liar.
- Oh you're...
- Is this the same way
you treated your ex-wife?
- Okay do me a favor, no no
leave her name
out of your mouth all right?
That's a whole different
situation.
- [Chantal] You should just die
for the way you lie and treat
people.
- Know what, you want me
to tell you the truth?
- Oh that would be great,
please, oh my god yes.
Please, tell me the truth!
- I broke up with you because
I need to focus on my health.
(laughs)
- You know that's really
quite brilliant, really.
(clapping)
Is that the best you've got?
You focus on your health by
going to a basketball game
with another woman one day
after breaking up with me,
really?
Well let me ask you, do you feel
healthy?
Did it work?
- I went to the game just to
see her brother play, okay?
But I'm dealing with some
things,
and I'm focusing on my health.
My doctor wants me to go
take a screening for prostate
cancer.
- Oh please, just stop it!
You're in perfect health,
this makes no sense!
- Obviously I'm not,
otherwise I wouldn't have
to go for the screening.
I'm dealing with this on my own,
okay?
I didn't want to tell
you 'cause I don't know
how you gonna deal with it.
- Oh so you're serious?
- [London] Why would I be joking
about something like that?
- Oh my god.
I'm so sorry, well why didn't
you think
I'd be able to take it?
- I mean--
- You have to give me a
little more credit than that.
You definitely could have leaned
on me.
- I understand, I just
didn't know what to do.
- Now I feel like such an
as*h*le.
- Well--
- You've been dealing
with this on your own?
- Of course I have been.
- Darling I'm so sorry.
I just love you so much.
(jazz music)
- Love you too.
- Why wouldn't you tell me this?
- It's just a lot going on right
now.
Let me get the door, I'll be
right back.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- How's my baby doing?
I'm so sorry for everything--
- I'm sorry, did she just say
baby?
- Oh, hello.
- Goodbye.
- Hey look okay, wait a minute.
Wait--
- No first you lie to me
about needing a screening
for prostate cancer,
and then you have her show up!
- Who said I was lying?
Look, I didn't even know she
was gonna, I didn't know--
- Stay the hell out of my life,
and die!
- Come on, so you just gonna
leave?
Just like that?
- Just like that.
(growls)
- Wait, prostate cancer?
- I'm sorry.
- And who was that?
- Look, just never mind.
So why are you here?
- I came to check on you, but
if you're gonna be like that.
- Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm just, as you can see
I'm going through a lot,
and I don't, this company,
I can't just do this right now,
please.
- [Deni] So you want me to go?
- I don't want you to go,
but I don't know what else to
tell you.
Right now it's probably best,
yes.
- Wow, so this is how you treat
me huh?
- No, come on.
Deni, why you acting like--
- This is how you treat me?
- No, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Save it.
- I'm sorry!
Damn!
(somber music)
Oh man, come on.
- Going somewhere?
- Yeah I'm going home, doc.
I can't do this.
- Sit down.
Your face is healing fine.
That's one less thing to worry
about.
- Yeah, but then you're
replacing
it with all these tests,
and procedures, and putting
your finger in my a*s.
- Don't be like that.
But I just want to run some
tests.
So today, you're gonna do the
PSA test.
- Why are we doing that one
though?
- I wanna wait for the results
of that test to come back
before doing the DRE test.
- Okay, long as we're
not doing that other one.
I ain't ready for that one,
you know what I'm saying?
- You don't have to worry.
I'll be gentle when I stick
my finger in your rectum.
(chuckles)
- I'm gonna be gentle
stickin' mine up yours too.
How 'bout that?
- Lighten up some.
- Doc, look I don't like
no things in my a*s.
I ain't that type of man.
- Most of the men that I know
aren't,
but back to the test.
Now, if your PSA levels come
back
anywhere between four to 10
milliliters,
then you'll have to come
back to do the DRE test.
- Doc, you might as well just
sh**t me up.
I'm telling ya I don't have
what you think I got, you know?
I'm good, we're not
taking that other test.
I'll tell you what, though.
Test come back negative, me
and you we going on a date.
I like that, let's knock it
out, let's go come on, doc.
- No wait wait, hold on.
I thought you were afraid of
being stuck up in the rectum.
- Look at it like this,
something up my a*s, brick house
date?
I'll take that brick
house date all day long.
Plus I don't have time to
be coming back and forth
wasting everybody's time, come
on.
Let's do this, doc, I'm ready.
- All right.
- All right.
- Put this on open in the back.
- Open in the back.
- I'll be back.
- You sure you don't want
me to open it in the front?
Aight.
(knocking)
Come in!
Pants down, cheeks out.
This is ready, I'm ready, let's
go.
- You're so silly.
(plucky music)
I'm just kidding.
- Stop playing, girl.
(plucky music)
- All right, Mr. Mitchell.
I'm gonna need you to
lay down on your side.
All right?
Just like that.
And I need you to try to relax,
okay.
- [London] Yeah.
- All right on one, two.
(grunts)
- All right, come on doc, hurry
up.
- I'm almost finished.
- What the hell is all that
humming?
What are you doing back there?
Come on, what is going on?
Say somethin' doc!
sh*t, hurry yo a*s up.
- All right.
Well, the good news is that
there
aren't any lumps or masses.
But there was an area that was
a little more firm than I would
expect.
- That's 'cause you got those
gloves on.
- Look, it's good that you're
willing
to take the PSA test today.
Let's just take it one
step at a time, okay?
- My a*s is hurtin'.
- [Doctor] You did good.
Get dressed, I'll be back.
(sighs)
(emotional music)
- La-dee-dah, la-dee-dah.
Little Christmas mama.
- You're crazy.
You know what?
Let me tell you something
that somebody once told me.
- [London] What's that?
- You can't just be poppin'
up over to people's house,
boundaries girl.
- Well I'm not a girl, so
that doesn't apply to me.
- Oh, what do you want?
Why are you here?
- [London] Came to see the kids.
- Oh, that's a good one.
- No I'm serious, I really
did come to see the kids.
Where are they?
- They're here.
Kelis might be the only one
wanting to see you, though.
Will ain't dealin' with
yo mess these days.
- I can understand
that, I'm not surprised.
- I'm gonna yell at them to come
down.
- All right, whoa whoa
whoa, one sec though.
I need to talk to you
first, if you don't mind.
- [Mercedes] Okay, well
you can talk and not touch.
- I can't hold your hand now?
- No, you can talk.
You don't have to touch.
- I ended up taking that
screening.
- The cancer screening, why?
- Just to appease my doctor.
Let 'em know nothing's wrong
with me.
- Okay so why is your doctor so
concerned
if everything's fine?
- Been peeing funny lately.
- You're a grown man, and you
don't know how to urinate?
- This is serious, yeah.
- Why are you bringing this up?
'Cause you want me to help you
smooth things over with the
kids, right?
You know you broke it.
You're gonna have to fix that.
- I figured since you were the
mother
of my children, you'd be
concerned.
- Aha.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay well think again.
Whatever goes on in your
life is no concern of mine.
You know you actually said that
when you walked out, you
remember that?
- No I don't.
- Yeah you did, and I just hope
your insurance is up to date.
I mean you just keep coming over
here,
keep coming over here talking
about this cancer stuff,
looking for sympathy.
You gotta be looking for
sympathy.
I don't know why you
keep bringing that up.
- Not looking for sympathy.
- Why why--
- Mom!
Will doesn't wanna help us.
- Oh baby.
- Daddy!
- Hey baby girl, how you doing?
Oh you all right?
You good?
Right on, right on.
- What you doin' here?
- Came to see you guys, spend
some time.
- Psh, why?
You ain't done that in forever.
- Yeah I know, Will,
but I thought maybe things could
change.
Hey maybe we could put
up a Christmas tree, huh?
- Yeah!
- Yeah?
All right, aww.
- What's up with your face?
- Will, you know Daddy was in an
accident.
- Yeah, well that's not what's
online.
- What?
- It was an accident, baby.
- Right.
No stories online about a
basketball game?
- [Mercedes] Hey you guys,
let's put up the tree.
Will, help your mommy get the
tree okay?
- Never mind.
- [Kelis] He's so moody, ugh!
- Maybe I should go talk to him.
- Yeah, what you gonna say?
- I'm gonna tell him how
crazy you are about me.
I can tell you have a problem
with me.
Would you be so kind as to tell
me why?
- Dad you ain't never around.
Don't talk to us unless we call
you.
Now you want to come over
here and put up a tree?
Been gone some more with that.
- I work, son.
I think you know that.
- Last four or five years?
When you walked out on
Mom, you left us too.
Now you lyin' about stuff like
your face.
You doing it to Kelis?
Forget lying to me, but to her?
Man, that's low.
- No matter what you do,
no matter what I do,
I'm still your father.
So I would advise you to put
some respect in your voice
when you're talkin' to me.
- Oh yes sir.
I promise never to be
a liar like you, sir.
Better?
- All right Will, come on.
Come get this tree outta this
basement.
(somber music)
- He hates me.
- Do you blame him?
You're never around.
What is it gonna take for
you to be a real father, huh?
Death?
(somber music)
- You wanted to see me.
- So how was your flight?
Last time I checked we were
in the same building on the same
floor.
I mean, what are you doing?
What takes you so long to get
here?
- Working, you?
- I'm waiting for you to bring
me the rest of the clients!
- I brought you three
and you turned 'em down.
- So what, your work's just done
now?
You're finished?
- For you, pretty much.
Another agent loved them.
- Asha, you know what?
You better stop playing okay?
I got you here to bring me, me
talent,
not someone else.
- You know what?
Never mind, I'm so frustrated
with you right now.
Are we finished?
- Does it look like we're
finished?
Do I have clients on my desk?
Hell no, we're not finished.
I'm waiting for you to
bring me some superstars,
like drop me some
clients in here tomorrow,
like pronto, like snap-snap
quick!
Come on!
- That's it, the hell I will.
Look, I've been biting my
tongue for the past six months,
but not anymore.
You are an as*h*le, Mr. London
Mitchell.
Yeah I said it.
You run up and down here
barking orders at everyone
like we're just here to
serve your pompous a*s.
Do I look like a dog?
You throw out talent left and
right
like they are never good enough
for you.
Who the hell do you think you
are?
And now you're looking
like I'm boring you.
You are so mean.
Look, I'm the only person in
this place
tall enough to stand up to you.
To hell with you, London.
I was so happy when that
basketball knocked you out.
(phone rings)
- Hello.
Yeah, how you doin' doc?
Give me one second.
Okay, poof, be gone.
- Unbelievable.
- Get the hell out.
So what's up doc, how you doin'
man?
- [Doctor] Your test results
have come in.
- Yeah, I'm good like I
told you I was, right?
- [Doctor] Actually, your
STD results were negative.
However, your PSA levels
were abnormally high
and I'm concerned about that.
- Well I mean, so what's that
mean?
What's the results of the other
test?
You had your finger all up in my
a*s.
- I did, and I was concerned.
I want you to see a
specialist, Dr. McArthur.
He's gonna provide further
testing
to determine if you have cancer
or not.
London, are you still there?
- Yeah, yeah I'm here man.
- [Doctor] I'll get a referral
written up
for you to pick up today.
London, you need to
take care of this ASAP.
- Whatever doc, no problem man.
Yeah, all right bye.
I got cancer, where in the
hell I get cancer from?
Stupid damn doctors.
What the hell they talkin'
about?
(emotional music)
(doorbell rings)
Come on, man!
(plucky music)
(knocking)
sh*t, man.
Hey, Mercedes!
Will!
Yo Mercedes, Kelis!
Yo Will.
Where's everybody at, nobody
home?
Hey, come on what are you doing?
- What are you doing?
- You didn't hear me?
- No, what the hell are you
doing?
Trying to scare me, what?
- Come on, you got the shower
on.
You're wasting water.
How come you not naked?
- I swear something's wrong with
you.
- I mean you do look good naked,
right?
- How did you get in here?
- I got in the house because
the key's under the doormat.
When are you gonna stop
leaving keys under the doormat?
- Yeah you're right, okay go
home.
Go, go--
- Now I need to talk to you.
Seriously, I need to talk to
you.
You're the only person that
I can lean on right now.
- London, go home.
Let me take my shower in peace.
- Mercedes, I might have cancer.
- Let me take my shower in
peace, London go home seriously!
- I might have cancer, did you
hear me?
- All right, go in the
kitchen and get some water.
Okay, let me get myself
together.
(emotional music)
- Dr. Hampton, she called me
and she said that she wants
me to see a specialist.
Run a new series of tests on me.
- Okay, I don't understand.
How do you go from having
issues going to the bathroom
to having cancer?
- She said that my PSA levels
were higher than she expected,
and things in my a*s felt
strange and weird to her,
and now this, you know?
I was trying to be cavalier
about this whole thing, but...
- Have you, really?
Bringing it up to get sympathy.
- It wasn't bringing it up for
sympathy.
Things are real now, Mercedes.
I went from having pain
problems to pissing issues.
- Okay, what pain, what
are you talking about?
- I was having pain in my legs,
but I didn't know, I didn't
think it was anything.
I just, I didn't really think
much of it.
I thought it was 'cause
I was getting older
and you know you get
older, you try new things.
I was trying new sex positions
and--
- Oh okay, that's too much
information.
- Mercedes, we're talking about
cancer.
Just saying the word, I mean...
Dunno how I'm gonna get through
this.
Can't seem to wrap my head
around it.
I mean am I dying, am
I gonna die from this?
- Look, you can't talk like
that.
- What if I die from this?
- You can't talk like that!
It's just too early.
I mean, maybe they caught it
early okay?
You have to stay positive.
- Mercedes, you've never heard
me
say nothing like this before.
I'm scared.
It's like I'm in this
crazy twisted nightmare.
- All right, you have to relax,
just stop for a minute okay?
- What are we gonna do?
I mean, what are we gonna tell
the kids?
- We're not gonna tell
the kids anything yet.
Didn't they tell you to call a
specialist?
Have you done that yet?
- No I ain't seeing no
specialist.
I don't know if I wanna do that.
- [Mercedes] You don't know
what?
What do you mean?
- If I do that, then that means
everything that I'm feeling is
real!
Everything!
- Boy everything is real right
now.
You're gonna get that
referral, call the specialist,
make that appointment
and see the doctor, okay?
You have to do it for yourself
and you have to do it for our
kids.
- What are you talkin' 'bout for
the kids?
You see my son?
He hates me right now.
That's probably from the stuff
that you tell him behind my
back!
- Here we go again!
You are something else!
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I don't know what to do right
now.
Look I know that you my ex-wife.
I know I haven't been good.
I know I haven't been
the best person lately,
but right now I need somebody.
I need somebody to help
push me through this.
- All right--
- I'm afraid to tackle this by
myself.
- All right, you're not by
yourself.
I'm gonna be here, okay?
- Mercy, I need your help right
now.
- I'm here.
(gentle guitar music)
Okay?
- Thank you, man.
- I'm here.
- Thank you.
(gentle guitar music)
- [Receptionist] Thank you for
holding, how can I help you?
- Uh yes, I would like to
schedule
an appointment with Dr. McArthur
please.
- [Receptionist] All right.
We'll see you Thursday.
- All right, thank you.
(emotional music)
(urine tinkling)
(groaning)
- Oh my god.
(emotional music)
- Hey Mom, what you up to?
- Hey baby.
Lookin' at our beautiful
Christmas tree.
We did a great job as a
family decorating, didn't we?
- Yeah.
- Your dad is coming over.
- For what?
- To take Kelis skating.
- Is that how he's gonna make
up for missing her dance?
What do I get for him missing my
games?
- Look, I know you have
your issues with him, okay?
- Don't you?
- Of course I do.
But he's your dad, cut him some
slack.
- He lied.
He got his face busted by a
basketball
and told Kelis he was in an
accident.
- Well I mean, he kinda
was in an accident.
- [Will] You too?
- Look, I haven't forgot, okay,
what he's done to this family.
I know.
But he's your father, and he's
trying.
At least let him try.
- I don't want to.
Where he been at the
last three or four years?
Away, he should stay away
forever.
- Take that back.
- What?
- Take that back!
- Fine.
- Look I know you have
your issues with your dad,
but I don't want you ever
wishing death
on him, do you understand me?
- I didn't!
I just want him out of our lives
for good.
- That's the same difference.
- Why you always on me about
him?
The same dude that left us.
Now you want to protect him?
You think he deserves that?
When you had to be both parents
because he decided he
didn't wanna do it no more?
- It wasn't like that, do you
understand?
You don't know the deal between
us.
I'm gonna tell you one more
time,
you be nice and respectful to
your dad.
Do you understand me?
You only have one.
And besides, it's the holidays!
Can you get with the Christmas
spirit?
- He needs to leave us the hell
alone.
(knocking)
- [London] Come in.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How you guys doing?
- How you doing, thanks.
- Good to see ya.
- Hi.
- All right.
So, Mr. Mitchell.
Since Dr. Hampton was a little
concerned
about your previous results,
I'm gonna suggest you get a
biopsy.
- What's that?
- Well it's where we take
samples of the prostate,
and we examine those
samples under a microscope
to check for cancer cells.
- Oh my god man, does that hurt?
- No, you might experience
some discomfort,
but we can numb the area
if you're more comfortable with
that.
(exhales deeply)
- How long does this take, man?
- About 10, 15 minutes.
And it'll take about one to
three days
to get the results back in.
- Yeah, okay.
I gotta take anything for this?
- Yes, I'll write a prescription
for some antibiotics
that you need to start taking
today,
and after the biopsy just to
reduce
any risk of infection or things
like that.
- Okay.
- All right, listen.
The sooner you get the biopsy,
sooner we get the results
and we'll either ease your mind
or we'll take the next step
toward treatment, right?
Sound good?
- Whatever, just do it.
- All right, it's a good
decision man.
- All right, thanks.
- Thank you doctor.
- [Doctor] You got it.
- It's gonna be okay.
(pleasant music)
- You are not
gonna believe this.
- Well London, from you
getting hit in the face
with a basketball, to
possibly having cancer.
I don't know what I wouldn't
believe when it comes to you.
- Well, senor me has
bought a Christmas tree.
- What?
- And Christmas decorations.
- You're not even a
Christmasy type of guy.
- I know, I know, I was
just kinda lying at my place
and I was thinking to myself
like,
I want a Christmas tree.
Yeah, dunno maybe this
whole diagnosis thing
is gettin' to me.
- You have not been diagnosed
yet.
- I get that, but I'm trying to
prepare myself for the worst.
Anyway, that's not what
I wanna talk about.
I was thinking maybe you
and the kids could come over
and help me set up.
What you think?
- Help you set up?
- Yeah.
- You mean you sit on
the couch and delegate?
- That's it.
- For us to put everything--
- You know I'mma be watching
you 'cause you look good.
Put you up on that tree.
- Oh, would really be the
ornament.
- Exactly.
- Well, you know your daughter,
Kelis,
she's game for that stuff,
but Will takes after you, so.
- Yeah I know.
- I don't know.
- I kind of brought that
on myself, though so.
So I'm good.
Another day.
Parents gonna be coming
over for the holidays.
- Are they?
- Yeah.
- Nice.
- It'll be a good ol' Christmas
for the cancer guy huh?
- Stop that!
Seriously.
- All right I'm sorry.
Geez oh man.
You look good when you feisty,
girl.
(laughing)
- You're crazy.
I'm sorry, too.
Yeah that was it.
- Whoa!
You apologizing over here?
- Got a little bandage on your
face.
- Well thank you, I appreciate
that.
You know I been thinking
'bout how I've been.
I haven't been the best of guys,
so just maybe this
whole diagnosis is like,
like karma you know?
- Maybe the basketball
to the face, you know.
But you need to stop, come on
really?
You have two feet in the grave,
it's really freakin' me out.
- I mean, you talkin'
'bout you're freaked out?
How do you think I feel?
I got hit in the face with the
basketball,
then I hit the bleachers,
then I got a finger up my a*s,
then I might have cancer.
I mean, what else am I supposed
to think?
- You're supposed to be
positive and optimistic.
- I am, I'm positive.
- Oh somebody's coming, okay act
normal.
- Okay act normal, stop, don't
touch me.
- Mom.
- Hey.
- Hey honey, you're home.
- What's up baby girl?
- Daddy!
- Now I've seen it all.
- Gettin' big, girl.
- We were just talking and
having snacks.
- Yeah, that's all.
- Again, why?
- Why not?
- [Mercedes] I thought you had
practice.
- Got canceled.
- So how you been doing at
practice?
I mean you shaking and baking?
You crossing 'em up, you hittin'
threes?
What you doin' dog, huh?
- Why don't you google it?
- Had to ruin it.
- That's the bravado, you the
man now.
Is that my sweater?
Probably goin' through my
closet.
- What's up with him?
- [Mercedes] He's just a little
moody.
- He's always in a bad mood now.
- He's weird like most high
school boys.
Daddy, you staying for dinner?
- Yeah, I'mma stay for dinner.
I heard you say something about
some boys.
You not slick, but yeah I'm
definitely--
- Uh, yeah thanks baby girl.
I guess so.
- Yay!
- [Mercedes] Don't you have some
homework?
- Um, um,
can't we make like some
arrangements?
- No no.
- Homework.
Goodbye.
Golly that girl is gettin' big.
- She is.
- Shew!
Wish I could get through to
Will, though.
I don't know what's up with him,
man.
He hates me, he's so angry all
the time.
- Well, I talked to him the
other day and
he probably forgot.
- Yeah, maybe he forgot.
I tell you what, that
boy's something else.
- It's gonna take some time.
- I may not have time.
(emotional music)
(phone rings)
Hello.
- [Doctor] Mr. Mitchell,
it's Dr. McArthur.
- Hey, what's up doc?
Lay it on me, do I have cancer?
- [Doctor] Well, I'd rather
talk to you in person.
I'm gonna need you to come
in tomorrow if you can
so we can look over a few
things.
- Can't you just tell
me over the phone, doc?
- [Doctor] Not over the phone.
Can I see you tomorrow?
- Yeah, yeah, what time?
- [Doctor] I can set the
appointment for 10:25 a.m.
- All right, 10:25 it is.
Man, if they can't tell you
over the phone, that's not good.
Hey Mercedes, how are you?
What are you doing tomorrow,
10:25 a.m.?
- Look.
Whatever he says, it's gonna be
okay.
- Yeah.
(knocking)
- Morning.
- What's up doc?
Do I have cancer or not?
- Just right into it, huh?
- [London] No time to be messing
around.
Do I have cancer or not?
- Well, I did get a look at your
results for your biopsy.
- Okay and, what does it say?
- There's a good chance
that you could have
a more advanced stage of cancer
based on these initial tests.
- And what, what?
- We need to run a PET scan to
determine
if and where the cancer's
spread throughout the body,
and if it has spread,
if it has spread we could
be looking at stage four.
- Cancer, what you talkin'
about?
Telling me I got cancer,
that's for old people.
- No no no no--
- He told me I got cancer.
What is he talkin', he's lying.
- No he's trying to help you.
- How is he trying to help me?
How are you trying, how
is he trying to help me?
- He's trying to help you!
- He's not trying to help me!
- Mr. Mitchell.
- Tellin' these lies man.
- I wish that were the case,
but there's something there
and we need to further examine
it.
Now, as I see it you do have
cancer
and it's very serious.
- No, no you need to stay--
- Why, for what?
He's lying to me--
- He's trying to help you!
He's trying to help you!
- How is he helping me?
- He's helping you!
- He ain't got my damn test,
he got somebody else's test.
- [Mercedes] Stay, come here!
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
(emotional music)
You gotta go back in and
get the treatment, please.
(emotional music)
- Mercy.
I don't want to lose you.
Am I dying?
- Please.
(sobbing)
- I don't wanna die.
- You have to go back in there.
- I don't wanna go back.
- Listen, we have to
listen to the doctor okay?
You have to get this biopsy.
You have to.
- I don't want to!
- You have to go back in.
Do it for the kids!
You have to go back in.
Can you do it for me?
- Mercy, I...
I don't want to lose you.
- Go back in.
Please.
- Don't want to.
- Please, please.
- Aight.
- Please.
- All right.
(sniffling)
- I know this is a hard
pill to swallow, okay I do.
But I promise you my team's
gonna do everything they can
to help you beat this thing,
right?
- Okay.
- Now, just so we're sure,
I think we should do an MRI, all
right?
When your results come in, we
can start
talking about immediate
treatment options.
Yeah, I'm sorry you went through
this.
I'm sorry you're going through
it,
but at least you caught it
now so something can be done.
That's a good thing, okay?
I'm gonna give you guys
a couple minutes okay?
- Thank you.
(emotional music)
You shouldn't be drinking that.
(sighs)
- You're right, I probably
should be slitting my wrists.
- You shouldn't be doing that
either.
(sighs)
- So when are we gonna tell the
kids?
- Can we at least wait
'til after Christmas?
- Why would we wait 'til after
Christmas?
If we go with the treatment
the doctor's talking about,
my hair's gonna be falling
out, I'm gonna be sick as hell.
Why would we do that?
- Do you wanna ruin their
Christmas?
Do you like, they'll be
destroyed.
Can we just wait until after
Christmas?
- Man.
(sighs)
This cancer thing, man.
Never thought it would be
cancer.
Feel like I'm gonna break down
again
like a little b*tch, you know?
- It's a lot to deal with.
We're gonna get through it,
though.
- Feel like God is punishing me.
- Why do you feel like that?
- Lied to Kelis about the dance.
Broke up with Chantal to
go date somebody else,
all the stuff I'm putting
you and the kids through.
- You haven't been the best guy,
but you're not the worst guy.
He's not punishing you with
cancer.
(sighs)
- Still gotta tell my parents.
All the stuff I gotta do at
work.
Still gotta tell the doctor what
treatment
I'm gonna decide on.
Maybe just telling me to slow
down.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Can you go with me tomorrow?
- I can move some stuff around.
I'll be there.
I'll be there for you.
- I appreciate all the
things you're doing for me.
- I'm not going anywhere.
And maybe you can slow down a
little bit.
(giggles)
- You might just get some
tonight.
- I might just let you get some.
(giggling)
- Thanks babe.
(emotional music)
- Why are you always eatin'
cereal?
- Because I love it, problem?
- Whatever.
- Speaking of problems,
why you got one with Daddy?
- He's just full of it, girl.
- You're such a liar.
- He is.
Look, you're young.
You're a girl.
You think he's the greatest guy
ever.
- He is.
- Kelis, he got his face
busted by a basketball.
- That's still an accident.
- And why'd he tell you he
couldn't
come to your little dance thing?
- He had a work thing.
- He don't work at basketball
games.
- A basketball game?
- He was on the internet and
everything.
Look it up.
- Okay, next subject.
- No, you wanna know
why I can't stand him?
I'mma tell you.
- Next subject!
Dad's been coming around a lot
lately.
What you say about that?
- It's weird.
I don't get why Mom's being
so nice to him lately,
after all the things he did to
you.
To your family.
Couldn't be me.
(door beeping)
- Go look who that is.
Let's go and listen to what they
say.
- [Mercedes] Look, I don't want
you
to overthink things, all right?
It's not definite.
- Don't wanna overthink
anything, but it is what it is.
(sighs)
- I don't even know what to say.
- Yeah, have to rethink my whole
life.
- Look, I don't want you to
worry too much all right?
- I'm not worried, Mercedes.
- We still have to wait for the
results, nothing's sure yet.
- The results aren't
gonna tell me anything
I don't already know.
I have prostate cancer.
There's nothing I can do about
that.
Thought of how we're gonna tell
the kids.
- Oh my god.
- What?
(sighing)
Hey sweetheart.
Come over here.
- You have cancer?
- We didn't want you all
to find out like this, son.
- We didn't know you
guys were home, sorry.
- How long have y'all known?
- Son, it'd probably be
best if you'd just come
and sit and we talk, all right?
- Look, it's still the early
part of this process okay?
- I wanna...
Look I wanna be straight with
you guys.
I'm gonna be all right mama,
okay?
It's gonna be all right.
Son, I'm not gonna lie to you
man.
I've been seeing my doctor
and he thought I should see a
specialist.
He ran some tests, and
I have prostate cancer.
Just waiting to see if it's,
might be stage four.
- Oh my god.
- That's bad, right?
- It ain't good.
- Look you guys, your dad
got a PET scan the other day,
and we're still waiting for
details and information.
- If we hadn't found out today,
would y'all even told us?
Hello?
- Look, I would've told you
guys.
We were just waiting for the
biopsy
so we get more clarity,
and we were able to let
you know the results.
- What you gonna do while
waiting for the results?
- Well I'm gonna live life.
Look I got a tree and I got
decorations at the house.
Your grandparents are gonna come
over,
they're gonna help out.
I was hoping you guys could
come and help out, huh?
- Do they know?
- No, they don't know yet.
I wanted to kind of keep
everything festive, you know?
It's Christmas time.
I don't wanna cloud it with my
problems.
Want us to decorate,
spend some time together.
If you guys let me, huh?
Look I know this is a
lot to take in, guys.
I don't know what else to say.
Why don't we go to the movies,
huh?
Why don't we go to dinner?
Why don't we do something,
get our minds off all of this?
- I think we should do that
another night, you know?
Let it sink in.
- That's fine.
- They'll let you know when
they're ready.
- Sounds good, sweetie.
I love you guys.
- Love you too Dad.
- I love you too.
- Make it through this.
Things are gonna be all right.
- It's gonna be all right.
- You guys can't get
rid of me that easily.
I'mma be all right, right?
Good morning Miss Price.
- Oh, good morning Mr. Mitchell.
- How are you?
- I'm good, thanks.
- Good, good.
Has Asha arrived?
- No, not yet.
- All right, do me a favor.
Once she gets in, let me know.
I'd like to speak to
both of you in my office.
- Me, both?
- Both.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Good morning.
- Hey, good morning.
We are wanted in London's
office.
- What the hell does he want?
- Girl, I do not know.
He just said he needed to
see both of us in his office.
- I beg your, if this man
is trying to fire me today
I'm kickin' a*s and takin'
names.
- Okay.
- Let's get this over with.
- Okay.
Wait, don't you think we
should announce ourselves?
- I am.
- You, oh.
- Ladies.
- What do you want?
- Wow, you're actually on time,
love it.
Miss Feisty Asha, always.
That's what I love about you.
Thank you for coming.
I know we have a busy day at the
office.
There's something that I want to
tell you
that needs to remain between us
for now.
- Sounds serious.
- It's definitely not easy
to say, that's for sure.
I need to take some time off.
- Why, because it's Christmas?
- Christmas, holidays, yeah.
I really wish it was
about the holidays.
I have cancer.
- Whoa.
- What?
- Why me, you know?
Probably gonna start treatment
right after Christmas.
Gonna take some time off,
and I won't be back for quite
some time.
- Well I am really sorry to hear
this.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, me too.
Cancer!
- Big C, that's me.
- I imagine your family knows.
- Ex-wife knows, kids know.
Haven't told my parents.
I don't think I'm ready for that
just yet.
Let them enjoy the holidays and,
yeah.
I'm gonna need you ladies
to hold down the fort.
Gonna need you to take
care of things here.
Especially you, Asha.
- What?
Yeah, I'll do whatever it takes.
- Yeah.
Gonna be leaning on you
a lot, your expertise,
your direction this company
should go in.
You're an amazing person.
You're gonna be fine.
- Wow, thank you.
- I know you're gonna be fine.
Miss Price.
You are a sweetheart.
I haven't been the best boss.
I've been selfish.
Haven't always been the best to
you.
And I'm sorry.
- I don't know what to say,
but I really hope you get
better.
It sounds so weird even saying
that.
- Yeah it is weird, it's weird.
I'm not gonna hold you.
Thank you for everything.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Head back.
- Yeah, me too.
- Asha, I would like to
speak with you please.
- Yes.
- I need to apologize to you.
- What?
Do you even know how to
apologize?
- Yeah, I know how to apologize.
I need to apologize for
what is it that you call me?
For being an as*h*le.
You're an amazing person.
A great employee.
- Wow, I agree, thank you.
Why do you have to be so
damn demanding all the time?
I'm sorry, I don't want to yell
at you.
- It's fine.
I've just got prostate cancer.
I'm not an invalid.
I can take a little
yelling, hell I deserve it.
Cursed me out the other
day, remember that?
That's when I got the call.
- Oh my goodness.
- Yeah.
That's when I said damn, why me?
Why me?
I wanted to apologize to you.
Because you will be the
one running this company.
- Me?
- Yes you, you deserve it.
You worked hard for it.
Anything you need from me, I'm
here.
Regardless of how I feel.
What's going on in my life.
I'm only a phone call away.
- Thank you, I can do that.
Anything else?
- Talk more.
When it's all said and done,
thank you.
- Look, I know we've
had our ups and downs,
but I want you to know
I do respect you, and what
you've done with this agency.
You are a fighter, London.
You will beat this.
I expect to see you
back bigger and better.
I'm not taking no for an answer.
- Thank you.
I'll be back.
- Yes, you will.
(emotional music)
- Hey Chantal, how are you?
Yeah I was wondering if I
could see you sometime soon?
- [Chantal] Heh, when?
- Whenever you've got a
moment, that would be great.
As soon as possible, sooner the
better.
- [Chantal] Fine, I'll
come over after work.
- Thanks, I appreciate it, bye.
Thank you for coming last
minute.
I appreciate it.
- No problem, what's up London?
I have things to do, people to
see.
- I know you're mad, and I'm
sorry.
I just wanted to call
you over and I didn't,
I didn't treat you right.
I did you wrong.
You're beautiful, you're a great
woman,
and some man's really gonna
appreciate you one day.
But, I really don't know
what I was thinking.
I really don't, and I wanted
to tell you that face to face.
- Thank you, for the apology
London.
- You're welcome.
- I've been praying for you,
and I hope you get better.
- Well thank you, I
really appreciate that.
- You're welcome.
And I will continue to pray for
you.
You're gonna be fine.
- Thank you.
Oh man, I appreciate you girl.
(pleasant music)
Glad you guys came past.
It was a nice surprise.
Why does your mother
always wanna be so fancy?
Why can't she just eat
chips out of the bag?
- As you know, she loves that.
- Always crazy.
- So how you been?
- All right, man.
I could be doing better,
but trying to keep cool
until these test results come
back.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- When is that?
- I don't know, they said any
day now.
See what I got in here.
Ah, here we go.
- Hey Mom's gonna love that.
- You know your mother, I see.
Lime green bowl.
Put some chips in there for her,
man.
Think I'm just gonna eat
mine the regular way.
- Me too.
- Mm.
Hey look son, I'm sorry man.
- Really?
- Yeah, I,
I'm sorry for leaving you
and your sister all those years
ago.
- Where were you?
- Just being immature.
Didn't know how to handle
being a divorced father.
Look man, after I divorced
your mother I was just...
- Yeah, you left her.
- No but you're right, after I
left.
Yeah, after I left all of y'all
huh?
I just wanted to be out there,
man.
Running free.
I didn't wanna be no father.
I know that's a horrible thing
to say,
but it's the truth.
I don't wanna hurt you and Kelis
anymore,
so I am going to be a better
father.
- Is this just 'cause you have
cancer?
- No it's 'cause I need to be a
man,
learn how to handle my
responsibilities.
Don't want you walkin' around
hatin' me.
- I don't hate you, I just don't
get
how you could walk away from us.
- You know in life we
make choices sometimes,
good or bad, but
I tell you what,
I'm walking toward you and
Kelis now, if you allow me.
- It's a start.
- All right.
Let's go get these decorations
going, man.
Grab those chips.
We got your chips, baby.
(emotional music)
(laughing, chatting)
- I mean you slip on the carrot!
You're supposed to slip on a
banana.
Doesn't anybody get to crack
some jokes around here?
(emotional music)
- Man, you look absolutely
amazing.
- Thank you.
So what's up?
(sighs)
- Last time we talked, it wasn't
good.
- You think?
You had another woman come over,
all the while making me
think you had a cancer scare.
Who does that?
- Yeah.
Really sorry about that.
I need to apologize.
I treated you bad, and
I've treated you like dirt.
I broke up with you three
weeks before Christmas.
I really have nothing else
to say, but I'm sorry.
I was hoping you could forgive
me
and accept my apology.
- I guess I could try to forgive
you.
- I really appreciate that.
- Thank you for apologizing.
- You're welcome.
- Wow, you've really had
your place decorated.
It's nice.
- Yeah, had the kids come over
and help with decorations,
make everything festive
so they did a good job.
- That's sweet.
So what are the next steps?
Do you want to work this out?
What do you want to do, you
want to get back together?
- Chantal, I don't think
this is gonna work.
- [Chantal] Why not?
- I'm fighting for my life.
I have cancer.
- What?
- Yeah.
The screening, it wasn't a lie.
I'm holding on as best I can.
- Oh honey, what do you need?
How can I be there for you?
Oh my god.
What do you need?
- Chantal, at this point
I'm getting a lot of support
from my wife,
my ex-wife and my kids.
- Your ex-wife.
Oh, okay.
- I didn't mean it like that.
I mean, Chantal she's been
there for me since I found out.
- No I get it, I understand.
- I called you over here
'cause I didn't want to hurt you
anymore.
I just wanted to tell
you sorry face to face.
- I'm sorry too.
But I do hope things work out
for you in the end, you know?
The whole cancer thing.
- So you're hurt now?
- No, I'm good.
I'll be okay.
Thank you for apologizing.
Now you can go through your
treatment
with a clear conscience.
I'll be out of your way.
- Chantal, come on.
(emotional music)
- I really do hope things
work out for you, London.
I'll be praying for you.
- Thanks, Chantal.
- You're welcome.
(emotional music)
- Ugh man.
Hey doc.
Yeah, I'll be there, okay.
(emotional music)
Mercedes, how you doing sweetie?
Yeah I need you to be there for
me
one more time, if that's okay.
- [Mercedes] I got you, all
right?
I'll be there.
- Okay bye.
(emotional music)
I'm so out of it, Mom.
Feel like I just messed up my
whole life.
I'm scared.
Like I'm scared, Mom.
- Son, you're gonna be okay,
trust me.
And you will conquer this
cancer.
- I feel better that
you're here now, but...
I never ask for much.
But it would really help
if you'd pray for me and pray
with me.
- Sure, sure come on.
(emotional music)
Father God, we kneel before
you and we say thank you.
Thank you Father for
everything you've done,
and have yet to do.
Father, forgive us for any
sins we may have committed
knowingly and unknowingly.
God it is through your
power that we're created.
Father God we call on you
right now in a special way.
God, every breath we take,
every morning we wake,
every moment of every hour
we live through your power.
Father God, I call,
I call on you and I ask
you to touch my son.
The crown of his head,
to the soles of his feet
with that same power.
Father God, fill him with that
power.
Cast out anything that
should not be in his body.
Mend what is broken.
Root out anything unproductive.
Father God, please, please
Father.
Open up any blocked arteries and
veins.
Oh God, remove all inflammation.
Cleanse him from any infection,
Father.
Let your healing love and mercy
pass through his body
right now, Father God.
Let it function in the way
that you created it to function,
Father.
God, let your loving, warm
spirit Father fill him.
Pass through his body
right now, Father God,
so that he will be healed
and function in the way
that he is supposed to function,
Father.
Restore him to full health.
Mind, body, and spirit
so that he will follow you
all the days of his natural
life.
Dear God, I ask all of these
things
in Christ Jesus' name,
and we pray, we say amen.
- Amen.
- It's gonna be okay, son.
You're gonna be fine, okay?
You're gonna be fine.
Don't worry, you'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
(emotional music)
- Look, whatever he says,
whatever happens I'm here.
I'm not going anywhere.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
I really do.
(knocking)
- Hey hey.
- Hey doc.
How you doing?
- I'm okay.
So, the team reviewed your PET
scan,
and now we know what stage
cancer we're dealing with.
- Really?
Just give it to me straight doc,
what?
- Hold on, that's why
we do a series of tests,
okay so we can have
multiple scans and samples,
and Mr. Mitchell I got to tell
you,
after all the tests, you do
not have stage four cancer.
Actually, it's in the early
stages.
Stage one, at the worst early
stage two.
- Oh my god, really?
- Yeah really, but you still
need to go through treatment.
- Totally fine with that, I can
do that.
- Okay good.
We recommend you do seed implant
therapy.
- What's that?
- Well okay, it's a procedure
where radioactive seeds
are implanted into the prostate,
and the number of seeds and
the placement of those seeds
will be determined based on your
cancer.
The implants will deliver
a high dose of radiation
to the prostate with limited
damage
to other bodily tissue, so.
- Now I wanna do something more
holistic,
but I mean that sounds a
little complicated, doc.
- Yeah it does, but the
procedure takes
maybe two hours tops, right?
You'll be able to go the same
day
with the treatment you need
with minimal side effects.
This is a good thing.
(laughing)
I tell you what, I'm gonna
get some reading material.
I want you guys to get read up
and be well informed on all
this before you leave, okay?
Okay.
- Thanks doc.
- Thanks doc.
- Does it feel good?
- Thank you man.
- Me too, it's good news, okay.
All right, I'll see you guys
in a few minutes, all right.
(sighs)
- Man, I never thought I'd be
so happy to hear stage one.
God.
- You know what?
You're still crazy.
- Still crazy about you.
So, I wanted to do something
holistic.
I don't know about this
seeds therapy thing.
I mean what do you think I
should do?
- I think you need to,
we're going to do the research,
right?
And whatever's best, we'll do
that.
We're gonna read what's best for
you.
- All right.
- And I'll be there.
- Sounds good.
(emotional music)
You know sweetie, you
really have been great
to me this whole time.
I mean that from the bottom of
my heart.
- You're welcome, you know I
love you hm?
- Reminds me why I fell in love
with you all those years ago.
- Yeah, and you still love me.
- Oh I still love you
more than I did first day I met
you.
(emotional music)
(pleasant hip hop music)
- I wonder what I got.
(pleasant hip hop music)
It's a board game!
(pleasant hip hop music)
(laughing)
I got another candle.
(laughing)
Thank you.
(pleasant hip hop music)
Give her something good.
(laughing)
- If we could please hold
hands and bow our heads.
God is good and definitely
great.
We thank you for this food,
and the nourishment of our
bodies.
In God's name we pray, amen.
- [All] Amen.
(laughing)
- Oh that way.
- Right on, baby.
- Give me a little bit of yours.
(people chattering)
- Bring it down here.
Is that biscuits or what?
(laughing)
- Pop love a dinner roll.
- Oh yeah.
(people chattering)
