What's going on?
Look, I ain't got time for
all those questions right now,
all right, man?
Get all your stuff, we gotta go,
let's go right now.
Okay, so you're not
gonna tell me what is-
- Hey, look, get your shit,
we gotta get going,
all right, let's go.
Come on.
Hey girl, what's up?
Jewel, I need
you to go by my place
and grab my bags.
Okay.
Sasha, what's going on?
Hello?
Sasha?
Memphis.
Are you gonna tell me
what the hell is going on?
Memphis.
Are you gonna tell
me what's going on?
Babe,
is this it?
Is it happening?
Where are we going?
Look,
I gotta make a stop, all right.
Oh, no, wait, Memphis.
Nurse.
Nurse.
Glad you could join us.
Wasn't sure if you
was a late riser
or an early birdie.
Looks like you owe me
a cup of coffee, partner.
Indeed I do.
Why am I handcuffed?
Miss Morgan, I'm
Detective Carter,
this is my partner,
Detective Darmody.
Mind if we ask you
a few questions?
Sure.
Sasha,
you don't mind if I
call you Sasha, do you?
Sasha, the reason you're
handcuffed to the bedrail here
is because we have
reason to believe
you're working with the cartel,
so maybe we can start there.
I don't, I don't
do drugs, sir.
Do you deal drugs?
Is this some kind of joke?
I'm afraid not.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I'm talking about the drugs
you and your boyfriend
were about to distribute
before you were robbed.
And I just told you
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Let's cut the bull all right.
Your boyfriend, Memphis
Goff, where is he?
Could someone please
explain why I'm handcuffed?
Where is he?
Who shot you, Miss Morgan?
Memphis.
Are you saying that
Memphis Goff shot you?
Is he dead?
Is who dead, Miss
Morgan, talk to me.
Sasha, all we're
trying to get to know
is where is Memphis Goff?
Where is he?
I don't remember.
Everything happened so fast.
We were ambushed,
and people were coming
from everywhere.
Do you hear how you sound?
This sounds like a ride
or die kind of thing.
Nah, where I'm from
it's called foolish,
willing to risk it all for what?
For love?
I'm actually jealous.
Hell, my wife wouldn't miss
a nail appointment for me.
Some love.
Yeah, the phantom type.
Some women don't figure it out
till it's too late.
I'd like to see my lawyer now.
Look, you can
talk to your lawyer-
- Lawyer now.
In case you change your mind,
give us a call, all right?
As you can see,
this home comes with
so many luxurious
contemporary upgrades,
like this gourmet kitchen here,
the large island.
And to your right,
a butler's pantry.
I am so in love
with this house,
especially the kitchen.
Yeah, my wife loves to cook.
I'm already imaging the
dinner parties here.
Well I'm glad that
you both love it.
Now I am no cook,
but I will tell you
that the property value
in this area has nearly doubled
in the last seven years.
Unless you're aging backwards,
now would be the perfect time
to secure your retirement plan
with a solid investment.
Honey, she's right.
Now just imagine what
this property will yield
in like 15 years.
I will let you two
discuss it for a minute.
I know purchasing
your forever home
is a-
- We want it.
I'm ready to make
the seller an offer.
Congratulations.
I'll start the
paperwork right away.
Oh, I am so sorry.
I have to take
this, it's urgent.
You're fine, go right ahead.
You have a prepaid call
from a federal
correctional facility from-
- Sasha Morgan.
To accept this call,
dial five, to decline dial nine.
Hey, Jewel.
Oh my God, Sasha.
Today is the day, isn't it?
I completely forgot
you're getting released.
Jewel, please tell
me you can pick me up,
there's nobody else I can call.
I know, I know,
but I am in the middle
of a showing right now,
but don't worry, I have somebody
that owes me a favor,
and I'll have them come get you.
Jewel, I don't want a
damn stranger picking me up.
Just trust me, okay?
I'll see you soon.
Jewel.
Jewel.
So now you have to tell me,
how did you master
the art of cooking?
I might need your services
for my next upcoming event.
Well tell me more.
All right, let's talk
about it on the way out.
I'll be damned girl,
even in those rags you
still fine as hell.
Malik McKinnley Hathaway.
In the flesh.
I'm your chauffeur for the day.
So it's whatever you want
Of all people, Jewel
send your crazy ass.
What, you ain't happy
to see an old middle
school friend?
Come here, bring me some love,
give me a hug.
See, you still crazy.
Hey, it's good to have
you back on this side.
Thank you.
Come on, I got you, come on.
It's good to be back.
Come on, girl, let's go.
Curry and Company Realtors,
this is Titi speaking,
how can I help you?
Hey Titi, I'm just wrapping up
with my last client,
and I am happy to report
that we are ready
to make two offers.
Two offers?
See, that's what I'm
talking about Jewel,
see, keep your
foot on these hoes,
okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Thanks, Titi.
So please go ahead
and submit a bid for $2.25
mil for Cortland Road,
and-
- Okay, wait, hold on, wait.
I'm gonna put you
on speaker phone.
Go ahead.
And 2.7 for
the Bellington Ridge.
I am on it right now.
All right.
Oh, and make sure you send
it directly to Anthony
so we can skip the line.
Okay, no worries
boss, I got you.
And it,
this mouse is always trippin',
hold on one second.
We need a new battery
for the mouse.
I got you.
And it's done.
You are the best.
All right, I will
see you shortly.
Oh, wait, wait,
wait, I'm sorry,
Dr. Thomas did call me,
and he did tell me that he
couldn't make the fundraiser,
but he'd donate some
money towards the cause.
And baby, when I tell you
he made a hell of a donation
towards the cause.
If we keep this up,
we're gonna be able to buy more
than just the hood, period.
Okay, great,
thank you so much,
I'll see you in a minute.
You good over there?
Yeah.
Just dreaming with my eyes open.
Well you're free at last.
But am I free?
You're gonna be
all right though.
And your girl got the
real estate game on lock,
so you got nothing to
worry about, we got you.
Hey, look who I found.
Oh, there she is.
Oh my gosh.
It is so good seeing
you on this side.
Yeah.
I hated seeing you
in there like that.
Tell me about it.
So where do they
have you staying?
At some halfway house
for the next six moths.
Please tell me you're joking.
I really wish I was.
Listen, ladies, I'm out.
Ima let y'all play
catch up without me,
and we'll catch up later,
we'll talk about
that little business.
All right, thanks again Malik.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
You stay out of trouble.
That's actually
on my to-do list.
So you are doing pretty
good for yousself.
I'm doing okay.
Okay, I am killing
with a big ax.
I mean I've come a long way.
I mean who would have thought
this black girl from the hood
with no college education
would turn out to be-
- A self-made millionaire.
You've always had
it in you, Jewel.
Ever since we were younger,
you've always had the
entrepreneurial spirit.
I'm proud of you, friend.
Well I couldn't have
done it without you.
You really motivated me.
Well I mean I did a hell
of a motivating, geesh.
Yeah, well, hey,
it is your first day home,
and I know you're dying for
a home cooked meal.
Oh my gosh, yes,
that vegan spot that
Malik took me to
didn't do anything but
tickle my taste buds.
I won't be doing the cooking,
but I got you covered.
But first let's
take you shopping.
Oh no, Jewel,
I can't, I can't,
I can't let you do that.
I insist.
Okay, I just have to sign
some paperwork with Titi,
and then we'll be on our way.
Okay.
Wow.
No signing out
before six a.m.,
and you must be in by curfew,
which is nine p.m.,
unless it's approved in
advance for work relations.
A minute after nine you're late,
we lock the doors,
you follow me?
Yes, ma'am, I understand.
All right, come on.
This is your room.
Keep it clean and tidy.
I know you received the packets,
but I wanna be iterate.
Residents must conduct
themselves properly at all times.
This means no loud, profane
or inappropriate language,
no stealing or destroying
someone's property,
and absolutely no fighting
or violence towards
house members.
Yes ma'am.
Your bed
is right there on the end.
I mean everything's good,
but you know what's funny?
What?
No matter how
much success I have,
I still sometimes feel
like I don't quite belong,
and I'm still trying to
earn a seat at their table.
Do you hear yourself
right now, Jewel?
Forget their table,
because from what I've seen
you've earned your seat.
And I caught that
interview with you
and Tashara the other night.
Jewel, you have a street
and a recreational
center named after you.
Do you understand
how many black women
and young girls you are
inspiring right now?
I mean, I would love to
trade places with you.
So what's up with
all this table talk?
Jewel, you are a boss.
Thank you.
I don't know, I guess,
I guess I'm just
having a moment.
Well never second
guess any of this,
seeing your hustle and the
audacity for you to win
lets everyone know that
you've made for this.
Trust me they see.
Well, speaking of
strong black women,
I can only imagine what
you've been through
the past few years.
It was rough.
I didn't know if I was
gonna make it out alive.
I just, I still can't believe
you just got swept up
and in all of that.
And then when you,
when you called me to come
get the stuff from your house,
I knew it was bad.
It's too late to
cry about it now.
So I heard they,
they found him dead.
Yeah, the chaplain called,
sent word from his mom,
told her that they found him.
I'm so sorry.
Sasha, I know you loved him.
Still in love him.
And that's never gonna change.
I know you're still mourning,
but I need you to remember
that you are smart
and beautiful,
and you have an amazing
future ahead of you.
And speaking of future,
I just promoted Titi,
so she'll be out in the
field a little bit more,
so I could use another pair
of hands around the office.
So you expect me to
come to your office
and take out your trash,
and run your errands
and get you coffee?
No ma'am, that is
not gonna happen,
I'll pass.
Really?
Yes.
Really?
My feelings are hurt.
Okay.
All right, I apologize.
But, seriously,
my parole officer
has been on my back
about securing a job by
the end of the month.
And real estate is a job.
I don't know, Jewel,
that's more your thing.
Girl, please,
money is my thing.
Facts.
Okay, so you're the one
that turned me on to it
in the first place.
So I mean,
here look, the market
is up, now is the time.
Whereas most people
focus on the male buyer,
I don't, it's the women that
you have to connect with.
We have the power.
Chess, not checkers, right?
Sleep on it.
Oh, I have got to take this.
To be continued.
Jewel Curry speaking.
In life where are you
I wanna know
Where are you
In life
Where are you
I'm on a journey
Looking for the one
Beautiful and reckless
Have you seen my one
The answer stood in her eyes
As clear as the summer's day
I'm on a journey
Looking for the one
Ma'am, how long are
we gonna sit here?
Okay, we can leave now.
So why the
restaurant business?
Honestly, ma'am,
I just need a job.
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
you need a job,
but, I mean, why the
restaurant business?
'Cause what I gather here
you never even worked
in a restaurant before.
Well, the plan was to
get into real estate.
I helped my cousin
purchase a building
for his own chicken spot.
True I never worked there,
but I'm a fast learner,
and I like to think I have
great customer service skills.
Well, I mean with those
great customer service skills,
I mean, why not just work there?
Yeah, he passed
over a year ago,
and his children decided not
to continue the business.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I see.
Well, I mean we get, we
get pretty busy over here,
especially on the weekends,
and I like to keep
my customers happy,
especially with the
competition coming over there
across the street.
You know, they opening up
this damn cracker joint
right across the street, trying
to run me out of business.
Oh, Miss Lennon,
I can handle whatever
you have for me.
I could use the
help around here.
Ms. Lennon, I can handle it.
And the hours are long,
and the pay ain't the greatest,
but every now and then
you'll get one of those
little baller shot callers,
you know the ones,
the $5 tippers.
Miss Lennon.
Girl, you can
just call me Bobby.
Well, Bobby, I'm just
trying to get back on my feet.
Well, When can you start?
Took my cig, bitch,
and I want it back.
Hood rat.
Y'all trying to get kicked
out of here for fighting?
First of all, who
the hell is you?
And second of all, Jackie,
call me a hood rat again,
I swear to God you
gonna catch these hands.
Bitch, I ain't running.
Bitch, you ain't gonna get to.
What is going on in here?
It's just a little
misunderstanding, Ms. Dixon,
I think everyone had a long day.
Long day my ass.
Y'all know the
rules around here.
One incident and you're out,
and you can deal
about the consequences
with your probation officer.
I think we're good, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
All right.
Another disturbance like this,
and you're all out.
We ain't running no damn zoo.
This is what you don't do.
Yes, ma'am.
Clean up this room.
Ooh, I can't wait to get
the fuck up out this place.
Excuse me?
Come on, finish checking you in.
You following me now?
What's your problem?
I don't have a problem.
Could have fooled me.
Yo, be real,
did you take Jackie's shit?
Look, I came out
here to calm my nerves,
and get the hell
away from that place,
not to be interrogated by
whatever the hell your name is.
And I'm gonna tell you
just like I told Jackie,
ain't nobody took that
old cheap ass MP3 player.
Damn.
I believe you.
Can I see?
My name is Sasha,
and I've never been able
to figure these things out.
So what's your story?
Oh, you one them, huh?
One of who?
The type that can mind
your own damn business.
Yo, why are you so angry?
Why are you so nosy?
I know exactly what
you're going through.
Nobody know what the fuck
I'm going through but me.
Okay, okay, maybe you right,
so tell me.
You must think I'm
here to make friends.
No, but it doesn't
hurt to vent to someone.
Okay, lyanla.
Tell me how the hell
somebody like you
get up in this hell house?
Got caught up with my dude.
Let me guess, drugs.
Yep.
Conspiracy.
And how long you got?
60 Months, seven years
supervised release.
And how long he got?
He don't,
he's deceased.
Damn.
So what you do?
Check and credit card fraud.
And when I tell you
I learned my lesson,
'cause none of it was worth it.
Count time.
Thank Gina.
So you good?
Yeah, I'm straight, Sasha.
And let know if
there's anything else
I can get for you, okay?
Hey, Mr. J., you
doing all right,
or do you want a refill?
Yes.
All right, I got you baby.
Welcome to Bobby's Diner,
I'll be right with you.
What a pleasant surprise.
How did you know
I worked here?
I didn't, just a coincidence.
So, this is your
new career choice?
It's an honest living.
Honestly broke.
Look, did you come
here to patronize me,
or you gonna order something?
Sorry, I didn't mean no harm,
I was just being observant.
Right.
Come on, Sash,
we both know ain't
making no money here.
And once the double
RC get their 25%
You lucky if you still got
up a bucket to piss in,
and a window to throw it out of.
Water or coffee?
Coffee.
All right, you want sugar.
All black.
So you know I don't
think it's a coincidence
that you came here, right?
I mean why not?
I had some business
on this side of town,
and I just wanted
to burn some time
before my next stop.
Um, let me pull
the MLS listing,
and check the specs,
and then I'll have
Titi give you a call,
and we'll get together
a walk through.
Will that work?
Okay, perfect, Mr. Maddox.
Okay, please tell
Cheryl I said thank you
for the bottle of wine.
Okay, all right, bye.
You sent Malik to spy on me.
Spy on you?
Girl, what are
you talking about?
He came by my job
yesterday, Jewel.
And what exactly does
that have to do with me?
You're the only person
who knows where I work.
What is your point?
I have not discussed
you with Malik.
Besides, I'm still
feeling some kind of way
about being outbid by that
stuffy old diner anyway.
Whatever.
I'll have you know I like
the stuffy old diner.
It's helping me
align my chakras.
Oh, well if you get some
of that real vitamin D,
he'll align your spine
and all your chakras.
No, no way, you're nasty.
It's facts.
But anyway, let's
get out of here,
and go get something to eat.
How does honey baked salmon
with some whipped garlic
mashed potatoes sound?
And then after that we
can get some mani pedis?
You know what, I could
use a manicure right now.
Okay.
Hey, Genie, it's Jewel,
can you squeeze
me and my girl in
for some manicures?
Okay, perfect.
We'll see you in
a couple of hours.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
You're buying.
I am.
Girl, I don't understand
how you find it so
hard to believe,
I think he's had a crush on
you since the eighth grade,
but ever since Memphis
come in the picture
it's been a wrap.
Malik just isn't my type.
Since when have
you had a type?
Look, I'm just not ready
to be seen with anyone.
I have a lot going on right now,
and the last thing I need to
do is jump in a relationship.
No, no, I know what it is,
you refuse to move on.
Girl, Memphis is dead.
Okay, he's not coming back,
and I don't mean
to be insensitive,
but you gotta move
on with your life.
And Malik is a great guy.
Okay, then why
aren't you with Malik?
Because Malik is
like my brother.
I mean what is this all about?
Is this, is this to prove
that you don't need a man
to take care of you anymore?
I mean, Sasha,
you've got so much
bottled up inside of you,
and it's not healthy because
it's gonna bubble up.
Can we not do this?
Please?
I'm sorry.
Can you just promise me
you'll come to me when
things get too heavy?
You love me, girl.
You reckless little driver
But when it's driving
like it's stolen
I'm on fire
He's not perfect
He's a savage
He's a
The most beautiful,
complicated thing
I've ever seen
Strong like a
mountain I will move
I'll make sure there's
nothing they can do
Beautifully broken
I'm healing too
Won't let them tell me
I'm too good for you
I'm stuck with you
I'll figure out the rest
I'm stuck with you
Committed to your mess
And what I felt for you
Addicted to the rush
Plus I'm crazy too
I'm stuck with you
Stuck with you
He's a mess but he
keeps me together
He's a storm but it's
more sunny weather
The parts that can't be
tamed but you need them too
I'm stuck with you
Stuck with you
Before you judge, he's
not just the one I love
The worst thing he does
is smack when he eats
And takes all the cover
He can be selfish
But you can be sure
The last thing we'll
keep is not that deep
'Cause he'll come
back with more
Cover your heart
then uncover it
I'll carry your
pain so gracefully
Continue to write for my baby.
And there's nothing
that they can do...
Nothing they can do.
I'm stuck on you.
Sasha Morgan, what
a pleasant surprise.
Dr. Tyler.
It really is good to
see you again, Sasha.
It's good to see you too.
So tell me how's
your transition going?
It's been a bit
of a challenge,
but I'm adjusting.
You gonna order
something or what?
What's good?
Hold on.
I think our omelets is
one of my favorite dish.
Then that's what I'm having,
exactly how you make yours.
One omelet coming right up.
And how's that
working out for you?
You know I didn't think
out him like that at first.
He's nice, he's successful.
I think about Memphis a lot.
I mean I know he's gone,
but what we had, there's
no replacing that.
I, sorry, I just miss him.
Let it out.
I just love him so much.
Let me ask you this,
do you think that Memphis' death
is keeping you from
moving on with your life?
Honestly, I don't know.
Sasha,
it's okay for you
to find love again.
Grieving is a part
of letting go.
I want you to give
yourself permission
to grieve as long as
you need to, okay?
Okay.
All right, so did
you enjoy everything?
Yes, ma'am,
thank you very much.
No problem.
Thank you.
Well, well, well,
I guess you really
enjoy the omelets
and coffee here, huh?
Not nearly as
much as I enjoy you.
Listen, Sasha, I
ain't asking for much,
just one date, that's it.
Please don't make me
get down on my knees.
No, no, no.
No, no, you will not
embarrass me here.
Fine,
I'll go out on a date with you.
That's the spirit.
You won't regret it.
Here it is.
You really are
full of surprises.
I was not expecting this at all.
Oh yeah?
This is fancy.
I wanted to do
something special
for our first date,
so I decided I would
go the extra mile.
Okay.
Not too much,
I'm a lightweight.
Right, I shouldn't
try to get you drunk
on the first date, right?
Oh stop.
All right, here we are.
So, to our beautiful friendship,
and to the future.
The date was so bad
that I gave the waiter $20
just to spill my wine on me.
No, you did not.
Yes, I did.
I had to get the
hell up out of there
once she started reading
off the damn checklist
that was like this long.
Well I admire her directness.
Sasha, why don't you come
and join me on my
team down at the firm?
Well, I mean what
exactly is it that you do?
Because last I know of
you were a chauffeur
and a spy.
Ouch.
No, but
seriously, what do you do?
I'm a real estate broker.
Ah, okay.
Well that makes sense.
You and Jewel work
together right,
something like business
partners, right?
Something like that.
My firm sponsored her when
she first started out.
Okay.
And I'm willing to
do the same for you.
What, sponsor me?
No, no, no.
What I'm offering is a
paid internship, Sasha.
I'll pair you with
one of my agents,
and have her groom you as
my executive assistant.
And I'm willing to throw
in a $10,000 sign on bonus.
That's gotta be more
than what you're making
down at the diner, right?
Okay, you know what,
I can tell that you and
Jewel are definitely friends,
because you're starting
to sound like her.
You out here with
a winning team,
you say the word and I got you.
You got me, huh?
Oh yeah.
I got you.
Okay, so what do you think?
Jewel, I love it,
but why are you
giving me this place?
I'm not giving it to you,
I'm letting you stay
here at reduced rate.
It belongs to a friend of mine,
and they just wanted
me to keep it up.
And I figured since
you're getting out
of the halfway house
here pretty soon
you would need a place to stay.
Are you sure you
can afford this?
We're actually
doing him a favor,
you know, helping
him keep it clean,
keep the lights on.
So what's going on
with you and Malik?
Are you guys coupling
or still in a
situationship, entanglement?
We are taking
things extremely slow.
Slow as in you haven't
given up the cake yet,
or slow as in I have
time to lose 10 pounds
for my maid of honor dress?
Both.
He's been pressing me
about quitting the diner,
and coming to work for him.
Girl, he's trying to
lace your pockets, let him.
He's trying to do more
than lace my pockets, Jewel.
Again, let him.
I cannot believe
you're suggesting
that I give him my goods.
I mean who else you
gonna give them to?
Really?
This is for you.
And this.
What is this?
Keys to the Benz outside.
Oh no, Jewel, I can't.
Sasha, you need a vehicle,
plus I couldn't pass
up a deal like that.
I don't know what I
would do without you.
Well that's what
friends are for.
Oh, are you gonna
come to my fundraiser
next Saturday, right?
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.
Perfect.
Well, welcome home.
Thank you.
Lil' mama so fly
she ain't gotta land
The way she look so
good I don't understand
Yo, yo
Ooh girl I was crashed, cool
Trying to run away with you
Well I got her back with you
Love it when you
like the rude
I don't mean to be rude bro
A man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do
Thank you so much for coming.
Tell me, what was your name?
I'm Linda Casey.
Linda, it's a
pleasure to meet you,
thank you for saying hi.
So you live nearby?
In Sussex.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Hi, Congressman Thomas,
thank you so much
for coming out.
Yeah, this is such
a wonderful event,
and, Jewel, may I say you
look absolutely amazing.
Oh, thank you so much,
You're welcome.
Congressman,
can I get you to
come around here
so I can get a picture?
Of course.
May I?
Yes, absolutely.
That looks great.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right, enjoy, I'll
be back in a second.
Thank you for having me.
Yes, yes.
Over 20.
My guy, how you doing?
Good to see you.
Congratulations, Jewel,
couldn't be more proud of you.
Thank you,
your generous
patronage and support
certainly help make
it all possible.
Well you know me, I like
to look out for my people.
And if the cards
fall in my favor,
then those classes
down at the center
will make a great
lineup for recruitment.
Speaking of cashing in on
some of these investments,
how did Sasha like my gift?
She loved them.
But what I don't
understand is why
you didn't give her these
so called gifts yourself.
I hate lying to her.
Jewel,
you know how stubborn Sasha is,
and she's on this damn ego trip
where she doesn't want
the help of a man.
Well then you two, you
need to figure it out,
'cause I am not trying
to get all caught up
in y'all's lovebird drama.
No sweat.
She'll come around in
due time, trust me.
Um.
Hey, Mr Hathaway.
Jewel, channel eight
news is over there,
we gotta freshen your makeup up.
Are you serious?
I didn't think they
were gonna make it.
They're here, right on time.
Is it that bad?
Just a little on the nose.
Hi, how are you?
Thanks so much for coming,
I didn't think you
were gonna make it.
Thank you, Titi, you wanna come?
Sasha, I'm so
glad you made it.
You outdid yourself tonight,
and you look fabulous.
Oh, thank you,
you look mighty
saucy yourself too.
You look so good.
Thank you.
Pardon me.
Jewel, we need you.
Oh, okay, enjoy
yourself honey,
I will be right back.
What do we got going on?
Wow, you're looking
very amazing tonight.
Thank you.
You don't look so bad yourself.
I say we leave here
and go to my place-
- Excuse me, excuse me,
can I get everybody's attention?
For coffee.
Mm-hmm.
All black.
Coffee, huh?
It is so good to see
you all here tonight
in support of the buy back
our community movement.
Like so many of you
I share a passion
for staying
connected to my root,
and over the past few years
I've watched the neighborhood
I proudly call home
fall victim to gentrification,
and I knew that I
needed to do something,
and I did.
And I am happy to report
that with your
generous donations
the Jewel Curry
Foundation has secured
five multi-unit
apartment buildings
and three shopping centers.
And last but not
least we now have
philanthropic partnerships
that will allow us
to provide workshops
in financial literacy,
entrepreneurship
and home ownership at no cost.
Again, I would like
to thank you all
so very much for your support
and your blessings.
My team and I, we
will not let you down.
Oh that's me.
Speaking of team.
Y'all give it up for my boss.
No, give it up for my boss.
Without further ado,
give it up for Dorrough.
Damn, that shit hurt.
She can walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk that
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
She look good in her
clothes, head to her toes
Prime time chick,
she the type that
get chose, chose
Baby girl so fine
She make a nigga wanna shout
Child's style so hood I
wanna see what she about
When she walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Good morning, beautiful.
Good morning.
I had fun last night.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
It doesn't have to end
just because the sun is up.
Well, I would love to stay,
but I have to be
somewhere in two hours.
Yeah, where?
Well I might be, oh,
up for my early release
from the halfway house.
Oh, congratulations.
Thank you.
At least let me
make you breakfast
or something before you leave.
Oh, you're gonna
make me breakfast?
Yeah.
Well I like omelets,
and I like pancakes and oatmeal.
I got it.
I think I can handle that.
Oh, okay.
Sasha Morgan?
Detective Carter.
So you remember me.
How could I forget?
Did you come here
to check up on me?
Absolutely not, no.
No, I was, my sister
works in the building,
and I'm just
dropping some flowers
and stuff off for her birthday.
Right.
Yeah, you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Look, I gotta go.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
No hard feelings, right?
You do know I was
doing my job, right?
Sis.
Brian.
Happy birthday.
Thank you brother, brother.
So you got time
to grab some lunch
with your old bro or what?
You bet I do.
My next appointment is not
til three, so I'm good.
All right, well, let's
go, a brother's starving.
Hey, did a lady by the
name of Sasha Morgan
stop in your office just now?
Oh, God, please don't tell me
she is under investigation.
No.
I just approved
her for early release
from the halfway house.
No, no, nah, she's
good, she's good.
Then why you barking
up her skirt then?
No reason, no reason at all.
Whatever, I don't believe you.
So, do you have any
questions thus far?
No, I think you
answered everything.
Oh, wait, you
mentioned that Malik
is the only person
who has the passwords
to all of the logins-
- Hey, hey, how's my girl doing?
Great, I think she'll work
out just fine Mr. Hathaway.
Good, that's
what I wanna hear.
Could you excuse
us for a second?
Yes, sir.
If you need anything
I'll be up front.
Okay, thank you.
I already told you
if we're gonna be
working in this
enviornment together
we are keeping things
strictly business.
All right, all
right, I'll play fair,
but you can't blame
me for trying.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.
Okay.
We're good, you can
trust me this time.
He's not willing to negotiate
so we're just gonna have
to go with his price.
This is the last time, Malik.
Okay, I'm already
having second thoughts.
I don't know this guy,
and I'm not trying
to get caught up.
Listen, Jewel, as long
as we keep things the same,
there's nothing to worry about.
That's what you
said last time.
Trust me,
I got it.
I've worked too hard,
I've worked too hard.
We've had some hiccups,
I've learned from my mistakes.
One last time.
Please.
Can you leave?
I love you too.
Three shots in
And I'm thinking about you
I just wanna say
congratulations,
you lasted a week with us.
Are you surprised?
Not at all.
I do believe that
sometime in the future
we can talk about a partnership.
One step at a time, baby.
Hey, baby, let me get this,
give me a second.
Yo.
Sasha.
James.
It's been a long time.
How are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
It's been a minute.
Yeah
I heard about what happened
to Memphis, I'm sorry,
he was a good dude.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
Hey, baby, who's
your little friend?
Malik, this is James.
James is an old
friend of Memphis.
What's good man?
All right, it was
good seeing you.
Good seeing you too.
Take it easy.
Wow.
Let's go.
But I haven't even
gotten our food yet.
I said let's go.
I'm sorry, baby.
I didn't mean to lose
my cool like that,
it won't happen again.
You know I love you, right?
I'm sorry.
Can we talk?
I'm busy.
Once again, I'm sorry
about the other night,
I didn't mean it.
Come on, Sasha, don't ignore me.
Look, lately we've been
having a great time together,
I really wanna continue
to be with you.
Can we have this
conversation later?
I bought you something.
I'll see it when I get off.
Sasha, look, don't
let one little mishap
mess up what we had.
Look, I told you
I was sorry, okay,
and I told you it
won't happen again.
Are you done?
Okay.
Hello?
Hello?
Hey baby, it's me.
Malik, what are
you doing here?
And how did you get in?
Technically this is my spot.
It's your spot?
It's my condo, I own
it, I got the keys.
You what?
Listen, Sash,
I didn't tell you because I
knew you wouldn't accept it
if I offered it to you.
So you lied to me,
and you tricked
me into moving in.
No, that's not it.
Yeah, you and Jewel played me.
Don't bring Jewel into it.
Okay, you know what-
- Don't do that.
Malik, just get out.
Get the hell out.
Get out?
Yes, get the hell out, leave.
See there you go again,
taking my kindness for granted.
I ain't going nowhere,
this is my shit.
Fine, I'll leave.
And go where?
I'll find a place.
I gave you a
new life, a condo,
a better playing job, a Benz.
A Benz?
Yeah, that too.
You an ungrateful ass bitch.
Who you calling a bitch?
And what you gonna do,
you gonna hit me?
'Cause you all up in my face.
Right.
Get your shit,
and get the fuck out.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait babe, wait.
Wait, wait, come here.
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm sorry.
Sash, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I told you I got you something.
Look.
What's wrong, you don't like it?
It's lovely.
Push the meeting
with Mr. Jacobs
back to next week,
early part of next week.
Why didn't you tell me
Malik owned the house?
Titi, could you
excuse us for a minute?
Are you sure?
Yes, she's sure.
Yes, please, thank you.
Sasha, what is the problem?
Aren't you two dating?
That's besides the point,
you should have told me.
I don't think it was
gonna be a big deal.
Look, I don't like surprises,
and I damn sure
don't like secrets,
especially with someone
who has a key to my place
who I didn't know had a key
showing up in the
middle of the night.
I'm sorry, I was just
trying to be a friend.
To me or to Malik?
Titi, get Malik.
I'm searching for the truth
I know I'm not the only one
Looking for hope
And dreaming of a better day
I wanna live life
I wanna be loved
But something's gotta give
I gotta find a better way
I can't go back no more
'cause I'm ready
And I was too tired
I need me a better me
I spend my life
going in circles
I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
I need the light back on
So I can see
It's nice.
Oh, let's just say
you motivated me.
I saved up enough money
for a down payment,
but unfortunately I
still need a loan.
And that's where I come in.
I hate to ask,
and I promise this
isn't a handout,
but I will pay you
back with interest.
So you're not gonna
snap on me again
for me trying to help you out?
Business is one thing,
men and relationships
is totally different.
One condition.
What's that?
We don't compete.
Well of course.
Undermining commissions
only hurt the industry.
And the profession.
It's the least I can do.
So come by the office
on Monday morning,
and I'll have Titi
cut you a check.
You are so welcome.
You're gonna do great.
Okay.
I gotta get out of here, girl.
All right, bye.
Right.
I can't wait till
I'm done decorating.
Yeah.
Let me call you right back.
Malik, what the hell?
Lower your voice when
you're talking to me.
Where you been?
I've been sitting
here nearly two hours
waiting on you.
I was out taking care,
I don't have to explain
my whereabouts to you.
Do you take me as
a joke or something?
Okay, you know what,
this is not gonna work,
you are an asshole.
Oh, I'm an asshole?
Yes, you're an asshole.
I'll show you an asshole.
Get off me.
I'll show you an asshole.
Get off me, put me down.
I'll show you an asshole.
Stop, stop it Malik.
Get your ass in there.
Get off me.
Malik.
Malik.
Open the door.
Malik.
Malik.
Sasha, what you're
describing to me
is not something that
you should take lightly.
This boyfriend, Malik,
he sounds like
he's suffering from
narcissistic
personality disorder.
What exactly is that?
A mental health condition.
Now it's one that you
can diagnose easily,
but you definitely
spelled out some of
the classic traits that
point to the disorder.
And the emotional abuse
that you sustained,
that is his way
of controlling you
to keep you helpless.
Bottom line, Sasha,
he is obsessed with the
idea of being with you
because you were
involved with a man
that he's envied
his entire life.
You are the winning prize.
And these mind games,
that's his way of keeping you
exactly where he
needs you to be,
needing him.
I'm telling you,
if you don't leave now
there ain't no telling
what he might do next.
Isn't this
considered harassment?
Nah, I'm just here
for a cup of coffee.
I'm not breaking any laws.
Seriously, I'm
just here for a cup of coffee.
Can a brother get
a cup of coffee?
Let me guess, you
want that black, right?
Actually cream and sugar.
What you working on back there?
I see you was busy.
Business plans.
Business plans?
Really?
How much do I owe you for this?
It's on me.
I don't need you
lingering around here,
interrogating me.
I tell you what,
that right there is my
personal business card,
when you get some time use it.
Detective.
You can call me Brian.
Brian, why you
being so nice to me?
In your eyes once a criminal
always a criminal, right?
Sasha, I mean,
everybody deserves a
second chance, right?
And when I look in your eyes
I see this beautiful black queen
who I would love to
get to know better,
I mean that's if
nobody beat me to it.
I tell you what, they want
me down at the office,
so think about it, all right?
Don't walk with
your head down
Other men did you low down
Girl, I'm gonna help
you off the ground
Girl, you're a queen
put it on the ground
Baby don't walk
with your head down
Other men did you low down
Girl, I'm gonna help
you off the ground
Girl, you're a queen
What's this?
You're still working
this fucking job
after I told you to quit?
And who was that?
You talking to cops now?
Malik, don't do this.
Don't do what?
See that you a
conniving ass bitch?
See that you've been lying
to me the whole time?
Huh, I gave you a job,
and you still
fucking working here?
Malik, you need to leave.
Or what?
Everything good little sister?
I'm gonna tell
you one time, bro,
go on, get up out of here.
I hear you.
I hear you loud and clear.
I don't need no trouble.
I'll see you around, Sasha.
If he come back, let me know.
He good.
What we do
Don't nobody get to question
What we do
Ain't nobody
touch what we do
Touch them how we do
Don't nobody get to
question what we do
Nobody can tell
us what to do
So you already know, once
I get things up and running,
you know you got a job.
And you gotta be a cool boss.
I want a raise too.
So this the new spot, huh?
Nice.
Very nice.
What are you
doing here, Malik?
You moved out, you
don't answer my calls.
Why you ignoring me, Sasha?
Just leave.
Can we talk?
No.
You need to leave like
she asked you to do.
That's between
me and her kiddo.
Nuh-uh, you know what?
Nuh-uh.
You understand
a child's place.
All right, sis, ima be
outside if you need me.
Look, Sash, I'm
sorry about everything.
Lately I've just been,
mentally just gone mentally,
and I've been having
a lot on my mind.
But I love you.
And I wanna be there for you.
Who told you about this place?
Who else?
Malik, we broke up,
it's over between us.
Just leave, I'm doing
my own thing now.
Who you think you talking to
with your ungrateful ass?
Do you have any idea
who you're dealing with?
Do you know what
I can do to you?
After everything
I've been through,
you of all people don't
put any fear in my heart.
Sasha, is he a problem?
Just say the word.
You got yourself a
little security guard.
Just leave, and
don't come back.
Congrats on your little spot.
You'll need me again.
And good riddance
with yo creepy ass.
Whatever trick.
He a fucking creep.
Girl, that's a dusty ass.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
Well looky here.
Oh, look at this.
Curtesy of my bestie.
Oh, great minds think alike.
Wow, it's really
coming together.
It is, isn't it?
I love it.
I knew it wasn't
gonna be a mistake
investing in this
place with you.
Investing?
Yeah, I thought about it,
and don't worry about
paying me back that money,
I think we need to be
in business together.
I'm okay with 25%.
Okay, so let me
understand this,
so I do all the hard work,
and you just come swoop in
and collect the benefits?
Sasha, I mean let's be real,
you wouldn't have all this stuff
if it wasn't for that
additional money I gave you.
It's strictly business.
I just asked for a
simple favor from you,
not your involvement.
And I damn sure didn't intend
to enter into a partnership.
Okay, so you have a problem
doing business with me after
everything we've been through?
I hate misconception.
You think I misled you?
Why did you tell Malik
about my new office?
He asked what you were up to,
and I told him, nothing
more, nothing less.
I mean what is the issue?
I mean we all grew up together.
It's not like he's a stranger.
Are you in business with him?
Because if you're doing
business with Malik
then I don't wanna
be involved with you.
Malik is a great businessman,
he helped build my business
to where it is today,
and I don't shit on my
friends, Sasha, you know that.
Okay, so then you owe him.
What is your
problem with Malik?
Hell, what is your
problem in general.
Malik is a jerk, Jewel.
He's manipulative
and he's trouble,
and if you don't seen
that then your naive.
Naive?
Wow.
It's easy for you to judge
someone else's come up
when you've been taken care of
ever since you were 19.
If you're
referring to Memphis,
he did not take care of me.
Girl, bye.
Memphis had you all strutting
around the hood spoiled.
But I'll admit you
slept with the right one
to get on top,
didn't have to work
hard for anything.
But me, I busted my ass to
get to where I am today.
I earned every
dime of my success,
and I don't feel
guilty about it.
I didn't have to bed
a baller to get mine.
Jewel, it sounds like
you been jealous of me
for a very long time.
So it must feel real good
for you to finally
see me down on my luck
asking for a simple favor
just so you can throw this shit
back in my face.
You know what, you
and Malik both can go
straight to hell.
You know, I didn't
come here for this.
I thought I was helping
out my best friend,
but I see that
you're impossible.
Have a nice life.
Goodbye.
Yeah so have you been before?
I heard it's beautiful there.
I've never been there,
but I could imagine
lying on that beach
and looking at the stars.
And the weather is amazing.
Here are your drinks.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Do you have any
salads or anything.
Make that two.
Of course, enjoy.
Gotta admit, I almost thought
you wasn't gonna call me.
Well, I didn't
know if I would.
So what made you
change your mind?
I don't know,
maybe I'm not the phantom type.
Not the phantom type.
Uh-huh.
Okay, all right.
Well, to new beginnings.
To new beginnings
and something new.
And something new, you
ain't gonna forget about that.
That's good, that's good.
Gentleman, can I help you?
Jewel Curry, we have a
warrant for your arrest.
What?
No, there's gotta
be a mistake here.
Can you,
can you just,
can I grab my cell phone?
Titi.
Titi call my lawyer, let
them know what's happening.
Sounds like we need to
renegotiate our agreement.
It's $100,000 over budget.
I'll have my team
take a look at it
and fix the numbers where
it's beneficial to you,
how about that?
Mr. Bennet, my
real estate company
invests profoundly
in local communities,
and we've closed more deals
than 90% of our competitors.
Impressive.
That's why she's the best
and I brung her to you.
It's the only reason why
I'm doing business with you
is because of her.
Well, we'll negotiate
a great price,
and we'll keep you in the loop
as the transaction progresses.
And we're talking?
It's on the market
for $2.6 million.
Ah, but it's in Dallas.
Not a fan of the Cowboys.
Now that was interesting.
Malik, don't get me caught up
in your bullshit.
Got us some chips for a snack.
Is that barbecue?
No, it's plain.
Girl, give me one.
Not expecting anyone.
Hey.
Memphis.
I'm back.
You just wanna break me down
How you gonna break me down
What you gonna break me down
How you gonna break me down
Me down
Now you really
don't want your name
involved in all of this, do you?
You must have something
to share with us.
Good afternoon detectives.
Surely you weren't gonna get
this party started without me.
Dawn Chamberlain,
always a pleasure.
Miss Curry, I was just
told that you're free to go.
I did a bid for you
This time I bid for love

Hey babe.
Sash, come on, let's go,
we gotta get out of here, okay?
What's going on?
Look, I ain't got time for
all those questions right now,
all right, man?
Get all your stuff, we gotta go,
let's go right now.
Okay, so you're not
gonna tell me what is-
- Hey, look, get your shit,
we gotta get going,
all right, let's go.
Come on.
Hey girl, what's up?
Jewel, I need
you to go by my place
and grab my bags.
Okay.
Sasha, what's going on?
Hello?
Sasha?
Memphis.
Are you gonna tell me
what the hell is going on?
Memphis.
Are you gonna tell
me what's going on?
Babe,
is this it?
Is it happening?
Where are we going?
Look,
I gotta make a stop, all right.
Oh, no, wait, Memphis.
Nurse.
Nurse.
Glad you could join us.
Wasn't sure if you
was a late riser
or an early birdie.
Looks like you owe me
a cup of coffee, partner.
Indeed I do.
Why am I handcuffed?
Miss Morgan, I'm
Detective Carter,
this is my partner,
Detective Darmody.
Mind if we ask you
a few questions?
Sure.
Sasha,
you don't mind if I
call you Sasha, do you?
Sasha, the reason you're
handcuffed to the bedrail here
is because we have
reason to believe
you're working with the cartel,
so maybe we can start there.
I don't, I don't
do drugs, sir.
Do you deal drugs?
Is this some kind of joke?
I'm afraid not.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I'm talking about the drugs
you and your boyfriend
were about to distribute
before you were robbed.
And I just told you
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Let's cut the bull all right.
Your boyfriend, Memphis
Goff, where is he?
Could someone please
explain why I'm handcuffed?
Where is he?
Who shot you, Miss Morgan?
Memphis.
Are you saying that
Memphis Goff shot you?
Is he dead?
Is who dead, Miss
Morgan, talk to me.
Sasha, all we're
trying to get to know
is where is Memphis Goff?
Where is he?
I don't remember.
Everything happened so fast.
We were ambushed,
and people were coming
from everywhere.
Do you hear how you sound?
This sounds like a ride
or die kind of thing.
Nah, where I'm from
it's called foolish,
willing to risk it all for what?
For love?
I'm actually jealous.
Hell, my wife wouldn't miss
a nail appointment for me.
Some love.
Yeah, the phantom type.
Some women don't figure it out
till it's too late.
I'd like to see my lawyer now.
Look, you can
talk to your lawyer-
- Lawyer now.
In case you change your mind,
give us a call, all right?
As you can see,
this home comes with
so many luxurious
contemporary upgrades,
like this gourmet kitchen here,
the large island.
And to your right,
a butler's pantry.
I am so in love
with this house,
especially the kitchen.
Yeah, my wife loves to cook.
I'm already imaging the
dinner parties here.
Well I'm glad that
you both love it.
Now I am no cook,
but I will tell you
that the property value
in this area has nearly doubled
in the last seven years.
Unless you're aging backwards,
now would be the perfect time
to secure your retirement plan
with a solid investment.
Honey, she's right.
Now just imagine what
this property will yield
in like 15 years.
I will let you two
discuss it for a minute.
I know purchasing
your forever home
is a-
- We want it.
I'm ready to make
the seller an offer.
Congratulations.
I'll start the
paperwork right away.
Oh, I am so sorry.
I have to take
this, it's urgent.
You're fine, go right ahead.
You have a prepaid call
from a federal
correctional facility from-
- Sasha Morgan.
To accept this call,
dial five, to decline dial nine.
Hey, Jewel.
Oh my God, Sasha.
Today is the day, isn't it?
I completely forgot
you're getting released.
Jewel, please tell
me you can pick me up,
there's nobody else I can call.
I know, I know,
but I am in the middle
of a showing right now,
but don't worry, I have somebody
that owes me a favor,
and I'll have them come get you.
Jewel, I don't want a
damn stranger picking me up.
Just trust me, okay?
I'll see you soon.
Jewel.
Jewel.
So now you have to tell me,
how did you master
the art of cooking?
I might need your services
for my next upcoming event.
Well tell me more.
All right, let's talk
about it on the way out.
I'll be damned girl,
even in those rags you
still fine as hell.
Malik McKinnley Hathaway.
In the flesh.
I'm your chauffeur for the day.
So it's whatever you want
Of all people, Jewel
send your crazy ass.
What, you ain't happy
to see an old middle
school friend?
Come here, bring me some love,
give me a hug.
See, you still crazy.
Hey, it's good to have
you back on this side.
Thank you.
Come on, I got you, come on.
It's good to be back.
Come on, girl, let's go.
Curry and Company Realtors,
this is Titi speaking,
how can I help you?
Hey Titi, I'm just wrapping up
with my last client,
and I am happy to report
that we are ready
to make two offers.
Two offers?
See, that's what I'm
talking about Jewel,
see, keep your
foot on these hoes,
okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Thanks, Titi.
So please go ahead
and submit a bid for $2.25
mil for Cortland Road,
and-
- Okay, wait, hold on, wait.
I'm gonna put you
on speaker phone.
Go ahead.
And 2.7 for
the Bellington Ridge.
I am on it right now.
All right.
Oh, and make sure you send
it directly to Anthony
so we can skip the line.
Okay, no worries
boss, I got you.
And it,
this mouse is always trippin',
hold on one second.
We need a new battery
for the mouse.
I got you.
And it's done.
You are the best.
All right, I will
see you shortly.
Oh, wait, wait,
wait, I'm sorry,
Dr. Thomas did call me,
and he did tell me that he
couldn't make the fundraiser,
but he'd donate some
money towards the cause.
And baby, when I tell you
he made a hell of a donation
towards the cause.
If we keep this up,
we're gonna be able to buy more
than just the hood, period.
Okay, great,
thank you so much,
I'll see you in a minute.
You good over there?
Yeah.
Just dreaming with my eyes open.
Well you're free at last.
But am I free?
You're gonna be
all right though.
And your girl got the
real estate game on lock,
so you got nothing to
worry about, we got you.
Hey, look who I found.
Oh, there she is.
Oh my gosh.
It is so good seeing
you on this side.
Yeah.
I hated seeing you
in there like that.
Tell me about it.
So where do they
have you staying?
At some halfway house
for the next six moths.
Please tell me you're joking.
I really wish I was.
Listen, ladies, I'm out.
Ima let y'all play
catch up without me,
and we'll catch up later,
we'll talk about
that little business.
All right, thanks again Malik.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
You stay out of trouble.
That's actually
on my to-do list.
So you are doing pretty
good for yousself.
I'm doing okay.
Okay, I am killing
with a big ax.
I mean I've come a long way.
I mean who would have thought
this black girl from the hood
with no college education
would turn out to be-
- A self-made millionaire.
You've always had
it in you, Jewel.
Ever since we were younger,
you've always had the
entrepreneurial spirit.
I'm proud of you, friend.
Well I couldn't have
done it without you.
You really motivated me.
Well I mean I did a hell
of a motivating, geesh.
Yeah, well, hey,
it is your first day home,
and I know you're dying for
a home cooked meal.
Oh my gosh, yes,
that vegan spot that
Malik took me to
didn't do anything but
tickle my taste buds.
I won't be doing the cooking,
but I got you covered.
But first let's
take you shopping.
Oh no, Jewel,
I can't, I can't,
I can't let you do that.
I insist.
Okay, I just have to sign
some paperwork with Titi,
and then we'll be on our way.
Okay.
Wow.
No signing out
before six a.m.,
and you must be in by curfew,
which is nine p.m.,
unless it's approved in
advance for work relations.
A minute after nine you're late,
we lock the doors,
you follow me?
Yes, ma'am, I understand.
All right, come on.
This is your room.
Keep it clean and tidy.
I know you received the packets,
but I wanna be iterate.
Residents must conduct
themselves properly at all times.
This means no loud, profane
or inappropriate language,
no stealing or destroying
someone's property,
and absolutely no fighting
or violence towards
house members.
Yes ma'am.
Your bed
is right there on the end.
I mean everything's good,
but you know what's funny?
What?
No matter how
much success I have,
I still sometimes feel
like I don't quite belong,
and I'm still trying to
earn a seat at their table.
Do you hear yourself
right now, Jewel?
Forget their table,
because from what I've seen
you've earned your seat.
And I caught that
interview with you
and Tashara the other night.
Jewel, you have a street
and a recreational
center named after you.
Do you understand
how many black women
and young girls you are
inspiring right now?
I mean, I would love to
trade places with you.
So what's up with
all this table talk?
Jewel, you are a boss.
Thank you.
I don't know, I guess,
I guess I'm just
having a moment.
Well never second
guess any of this,
seeing your hustle and the
audacity for you to win
lets everyone know that
you've made for this.
Trust me they see.
Well, speaking of
strong black women,
I can only imagine what
you've been through
the past few years.
It was rough.
I didn't know if I was
gonna make it out alive.
I just, I still can't believe
you just got swept up
and in all of that.
And then when you,
when you called me to come
get the stuff from your house,
I knew it was bad.
It's too late to
cry about it now.
So I heard they,
they found him dead.
Yeah, the chaplain called,
sent word from his mom,
told her that they found him.
I'm so sorry.
Sasha, I know you loved him.
Still in love him.
And that's never gonna change.
I know you're still mourning,
but I need you to remember
that you are smart
and beautiful,
and you have an amazing
future ahead of you.
And speaking of future,
I just promoted Titi,
so she'll be out in the
field a little bit more,
so I could use another pair
of hands around the office.
So you expect me to
come to your office
and take out your trash,
and run your errands
and get you coffee?
No ma'am, that is
not gonna happen,
I'll pass.
Really?
Yes.
Really?
My feelings are hurt.
Okay.
All right, I apologize.
But, seriously,
my parole officer
has been on my back
about securing a job by
the end of the month.
And real estate is a job.
I don't know, Jewel,
that's more your thing.
Girl, please,
money is my thing.
Facts.
Okay, so you're the one
that turned me on to it
in the first place.
So I mean,
here look, the market
is up, now is the time.
Whereas most people
focus on the male buyer,
I don't, it's the women that
you have to connect with.
We have the power.
Chess, not checkers, right?
Sleep on it.
Oh, I have got to take this.
To be continued.
Jewel Curry speaking.
In life where are you
I wanna know
Where are you
In life
Where are you
I'm on a journey
Looking for the one
Beautiful and reckless
Have you seen my one
The answer stood in her eyes
As clear as the summer's day
I'm on a journey
Looking for the one
Ma'am, how long are
we gonna sit here?
Okay, we can leave now.
So why the
restaurant business?
Honestly, ma'am,
I just need a job.
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
you need a job,
but, I mean, why the
restaurant business?
'Cause what I gather here
you never even worked
in a restaurant before.
Well, the plan was to
get into real estate.
I helped my cousin
purchase a building
for his own chicken spot.
True I never worked there,
but I'm a fast learner,
and I like to think I have
great customer service skills.
Well, I mean with those
great customer service skills,
I mean, why not just work there?
Yeah, he passed
over a year ago,
and his children decided not
to continue the business.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I see.
Well, I mean we get, we
get pretty busy over here,
especially on the weekends,
and I like to keep
my customers happy,
especially with the
competition coming over there
across the street.
You know, they opening up
this damn cracker joint
right across the street, trying
to run me out of business.
Oh, Miss Lennon,
I can handle whatever
you have for me.
I could use the
help around here.
Ms. Lennon, I can handle it.
And the hours are long,
and the pay ain't the greatest,
but every now and then
you'll get one of those
little baller shot callers,
you know the ones,
the $5 tippers.
Miss Lennon.
Girl, you can
just call me Bobby.
Well, Bobby, I'm just
trying to get back on my feet.
Well, When can you start?
Took my cig, bitch,
and I want it back.
Hood rat.
Y'all trying to get kicked
out of here for fighting?
First of all, who
the hell is you?
And second of all, Jackie,
call me a hood rat again,
I swear to God you
gonna catch these hands.
Bitch, I ain't running.
Bitch, you ain't gonna get to.
What is going on in here?
It's just a little
misunderstanding, Ms. Dixon,
I think everyone had a long day.
Long day my ass.
Y'all know the
rules around here.
One incident and you're out,
and you can deal
about the consequences
with your probation officer.
I think we're good, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
All right.
Another disturbance like this,
and you're all out.
We ain't running no damn zoo.
This is what you don't do.
Yes, ma'am.
Clean up this room.
Ooh, I can't wait to get
the fuck up out this place.
Excuse me?
Come on, finish checking you in.
You following me now?
What's your problem?
I don't have a problem.
Could have fooled me.
Yo, be real,
did you take Jackie's shit?
Look, I came out
here to calm my nerves,
and get the hell
away from that place,
not to be interrogated by
whatever the hell your name is.
And I'm gonna tell you
just like I told Jackie,
ain't nobody took that
old cheap ass MP3 player.
Damn.
I believe you.
Can I see?
My name is Sasha,
and I've never been able
to figure these things out.
So what's your story?
Oh, you one them, huh?
One of who?
The type that can mind
your own damn business.
Yo, why are you so angry?
Why are you so nosy?
I know exactly what
you're going through.
Nobody know what the fuck
I'm going through but me.
Okay, okay, maybe you right,
so tell me.
You must think I'm
here to make friends.
No, but it doesn't
hurt to vent to someone.
Okay, lyanla.
Tell me how the hell
somebody like you
get up in this hell house?
Got caught up with my dude.
Let me guess, drugs.
Yep.
Conspiracy.
And how long you got?
60 Months, seven years
supervised release.
And how long he got?
He don't,
he's deceased.
Damn.
So what you do?
Check and credit card fraud.
And when I tell you
I learned my lesson,
'cause none of it was worth it.
Count time.
Thank Gina.
So you good?
Yeah, I'm straight, Sasha.
And let know if
there's anything else
I can get for you, okay?
Hey, Mr. J., you
doing all right,
or do you want a refill?
Yes.
All right, I got you baby.
Welcome to Bobby's Diner,
I'll be right with you.
What a pleasant surprise.
How did you know
I worked here?
I didn't, just a coincidence.
So, this is your
new career choice?
It's an honest living.
Honestly broke.
Look, did you come
here to patronize me,
or you gonna order something?
Sorry, I didn't mean no harm,
I was just being observant.
Right.
Come on, Sash,
we both know ain't
making no money here.
And once the double
RC get their 25%
You lucky if you still got
up a bucket to piss in,
and a window to throw it out of.
Water or coffee?
Coffee.
All right, you want sugar.
All black.
So you know I don't
think it's a coincidence
that you came here, right?
I mean why not?
I had some business
on this side of town,
and I just wanted
to burn some time
before my next stop.
Um, let me pull
the MLS listing,
and check the specs,
and then I'll have
Titi give you a call,
and we'll get together
a walk through.
Will that work?
Okay, perfect, Mr. Maddox.
Okay, please tell
Cheryl I said thank you
for the bottle of wine.
Okay, all right, bye.
You sent Malik to spy on me.
Spy on you?
Girl, what are
you talking about?
He came by my job
yesterday, Jewel.
And what exactly does
that have to do with me?
You're the only person
who knows where I work.
What is your point?
I have not discussed
you with Malik.
Besides, I'm still
feeling some kind of way
about being outbid by that
stuffy old diner anyway.
Whatever.
I'll have you know I like
the stuffy old diner.
It's helping me
align my chakras.
Oh, well if you get some
of that real vitamin D,
he'll align your spine
and all your chakras.
No, no way, you're nasty.
It's facts.
But anyway, let's
get out of here,
and go get something to eat.
How does honey baked salmon
with some whipped garlic
mashed potatoes sound?
And then after that we
can get some mani pedis?
You know what, I could
use a manicure right now.
Okay.
Hey, Genie, it's Jewel,
can you squeeze
me and my girl in
for some manicures?
Okay, perfect.
We'll see you in
a couple of hours.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
You're buying.
I am.
Girl, I don't understand
how you find it so
hard to believe,
I think he's had a crush on
you since the eighth grade,
but ever since Memphis
come in the picture
it's been a wrap.
Malik just isn't my type.
Since when have
you had a type?
Look, I'm just not ready
to be seen with anyone.
I have a lot going on right now,
and the last thing I need to
do is jump in a relationship.
No, no, I know what it is,
you refuse to move on.
Girl, Memphis is dead.
Okay, he's not coming back,
and I don't mean
to be insensitive,
but you gotta move
on with your life.
And Malik is a great guy.
Okay, then why
aren't you with Malik?
Because Malik is
like my brother.
I mean what is this all about?
Is this, is this to prove
that you don't need a man
to take care of you anymore?
I mean, Sasha,
you've got so much
bottled up inside of you,
and it's not healthy because
it's gonna bubble up.
Can we not do this?
Please?
I'm sorry.
Can you just promise me
you'll come to me when
things get too heavy?
You love me, girl.
You reckless little driver
But when it's driving
like it's stolen
I'm on fire
He's not perfect
He's a savage
He's a
The most beautiful,
complicated thing
I've ever seen
Strong like a
mountain I will move
I'll make sure there's
nothing they can do
Beautifully broken
I'm healing too
Won't let them tell me
I'm too good for you
I'm stuck with you
I'll figure out the rest
I'm stuck with you
Committed to your mess
And what I felt for you
Addicted to the rush
Plus I'm crazy too
I'm stuck with you
Stuck with you
He's a mess but he
keeps me together
He's a storm but it's
more sunny weather
The parts that can't be
tamed but you need them too
I'm stuck with you
Stuck with you
Before you judge, he's
not just the one I love
The worst thing he does
is smack when he eats
And takes all the cover
He can be selfish
But you can be sure
The last thing we'll
keep is not that deep
'Cause he'll come
back with more
Cover your heart
then uncover it
I'll carry your
pain so gracefully
Continue to write for my baby.
And there's nothing
that they can do...
Nothing they can do.
I'm stuck on you.
Sasha Morgan, what
a pleasant surprise.
Dr. Tyler.
It really is good to
see you again, Sasha.
It's good to see you too.
So tell me how's
your transition going?
It's been a bit
of a challenge,
but I'm adjusting.
You gonna order
something or what?
What's good?
Hold on.
I think our omelets is
one of my favorite dish.
Then that's what I'm having,
exactly how you make yours.
One omelet coming right up.
And how's that
working out for you?
You know I didn't think
out him like that at first.
He's nice, he's successful.
I think about Memphis a lot.
I mean I know he's gone,
but what we had, there's
no replacing that.
I, sorry, I just miss him.
Let it out.
I just love him so much.
Let me ask you this,
do you think that Memphis' death
is keeping you from
moving on with your life?
Honestly, I don't know.
Sasha,
it's okay for you
to find love again.
Grieving is a part
of letting go.
I want you to give
yourself permission
to grieve as long as
you need to, okay?
Okay.
All right, so did
you enjoy everything?
Yes, ma'am,
thank you very much.
No problem.
Thank you.
Well, well, well,
I guess you really
enjoy the omelets
and coffee here, huh?
Not nearly as
much as I enjoy you.
Listen, Sasha, I
ain't asking for much,
just one date, that's it.
Please don't make me
get down on my knees.
No, no, no.
No, no, you will not
embarrass me here.
Fine,
I'll go out on a date with you.
That's the spirit.
You won't regret it.
Here it is.
You really are
full of surprises.
I was not expecting this at all.
Oh yeah?
This is fancy.
I wanted to do
something special
for our first date,
so I decided I would
go the extra mile.
Okay.
Not too much,
I'm a lightweight.
Right, I shouldn't
try to get you drunk
on the first date, right?
Oh stop.
All right, here we are.
So, to our beautiful friendship,
and to the future.
The date was so bad
that I gave the waiter $20
just to spill my wine on me.
No, you did not.
Yes, I did.
I had to get the
hell up out of there
once she started reading
off the damn checklist
that was like this long.
Well I admire her directness.
Sasha, why don't you come
and join me on my
team down at the firm?
Well, I mean what
exactly is it that you do?
Because last I know of
you were a chauffeur
and a spy.
Ouch.
No, but
seriously, what do you do?
I'm a real estate broker.
Ah, okay.
Well that makes sense.
You and Jewel work
together right,
something like business
partners, right?
Something like that.
My firm sponsored her when
she first started out.
Okay.
And I'm willing to
do the same for you.
What, sponsor me?
No, no, no.
What I'm offering is a
paid internship, Sasha.
I'll pair you with
one of my agents,
and have her groom you as
my executive assistant.
And I'm willing to throw
in a $10,000 sign on bonus.
That's gotta be more
than what you're making
down at the diner, right?
Okay, you know what,
I can tell that you and
Jewel are definitely friends,
because you're starting
to sound like her.
You out here with
a winning team,
you say the word and I got you.
You got me, huh?
Oh yeah.
I got you.
Okay, so what do you think?
Jewel, I love it,
but why are you
giving me this place?
I'm not giving it to you,
I'm letting you stay
here at reduced rate.
It belongs to a friend of mine,
and they just wanted
me to keep it up.
And I figured since
you're getting out
of the halfway house
here pretty soon
you would need a place to stay.
Are you sure you
can afford this?
We're actually
doing him a favor,
you know, helping
him keep it clean,
keep the lights on.
So what's going on
with you and Malik?
Are you guys coupling
or still in a
situationship, entanglement?
We are taking
things extremely slow.
Slow as in you haven't
given up the cake yet,
or slow as in I have
time to lose 10 pounds
for my maid of honor dress?
Both.
He's been pressing me
about quitting the diner,
and coming to work for him.
Girl, he's trying to
lace your pockets, let him.
He's trying to do more
than lace my pockets, Jewel.
Again, let him.
I cannot believe
you're suggesting
that I give him my goods.
I mean who else you
gonna give them to?
Really?
This is for you.
And this.
What is this?
Keys to the Benz outside.
Oh no, Jewel, I can't.
Sasha, you need a vehicle,
plus I couldn't pass
up a deal like that.
I don't know what I
would do without you.
Well that's what
friends are for.
Oh, are you gonna
come to my fundraiser
next Saturday, right?
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.
Perfect.
Well, welcome home.
Thank you.
Lil' mama so fly
she ain't gotta land
The way she look so
good I don't understand
Yo, yo
Ooh girl I was crashed, cool
Trying to run away with you
Well I got her back with you
Love it when you
like the rude
I don't mean to be rude bro
A man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do
Thank you so much for coming.
Tell me, what was your name?
I'm Linda Casey.
Linda, it's a
pleasure to meet you,
thank you for saying hi.
So you live nearby?
In Sussex.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Hi, Congressman Thomas,
thank you so much
for coming out.
Yeah, this is such
a wonderful event,
and, Jewel, may I say you
look absolutely amazing.
Oh, thank you so much,
You're welcome.
Congressman,
can I get you to
come around here
so I can get a picture?
Of course.
May I?
Yes, absolutely.
That looks great.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right, enjoy, I'll
be back in a second.
Thank you for having me.
Yes, yes.
Over 20.
My guy, how you doing?
Good to see you.
Congratulations, Jewel,
couldn't be more proud of you.
Thank you,
your generous
patronage and support
certainly help make
it all possible.
Well you know me, I like
to look out for my people.
And if the cards
fall in my favor,
then those classes
down at the center
will make a great
lineup for recruitment.
Speaking of cashing in on
some of these investments,
how did Sasha like my gift?
She loved them.
But what I don't
understand is why
you didn't give her these
so called gifts yourself.
I hate lying to her.
Jewel,
you know how stubborn Sasha is,
and she's on this damn ego trip
where she doesn't want
the help of a man.
Well then you two, you
need to figure it out,
'cause I am not trying
to get all caught up
in y'all's lovebird drama.
No sweat.
She'll come around in
due time, trust me.
Um.
Hey, Mr Hathaway.
Jewel, channel eight
news is over there,
we gotta freshen your makeup up.
Are you serious?
I didn't think they
were gonna make it.
They're here, right on time.
Is it that bad?
Just a little on the nose.
Hi, how are you?
Thanks so much for coming,
I didn't think you
were gonna make it.
Thank you, Titi, you wanna come?
Sasha, I'm so
glad you made it.
You outdid yourself tonight,
and you look fabulous.
Oh, thank you,
you look mighty
saucy yourself too.
You look so good.
Thank you.
Pardon me.
Jewel, we need you.
Oh, okay, enjoy
yourself honey,
I will be right back.
What do we got going on?
Wow, you're looking
very amazing tonight.
Thank you.
You don't look so bad yourself.
I say we leave here
and go to my place-
- Excuse me, excuse me,
can I get everybody's attention?
For coffee.
Mm-hmm.
All black.
Coffee, huh?
It is so good to see
you all here tonight
in support of the buy back
our community movement.
Like so many of you
I share a passion
for staying
connected to my root,
and over the past few years
I've watched the neighborhood
I proudly call home
fall victim to gentrification,
and I knew that I
needed to do something,
and I did.
And I am happy to report
that with your
generous donations
the Jewel Curry
Foundation has secured
five multi-unit
apartment buildings
and three shopping centers.
And last but not
least we now have
philanthropic partnerships
that will allow us
to provide workshops
in financial literacy,
entrepreneurship
and home ownership at no cost.
Again, I would like
to thank you all
so very much for your support
and your blessings.
My team and I, we
will not let you down.
Oh that's me.
Speaking of team.
Y'all give it up for my boss.
No, give it up for my boss.
Without further ado,
give it up for Dorrough.
Damn, that shit hurt.
She can walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk that
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that, walk
that, walk that
Walk
She look good in her
clothes, head to her toes
Prime time chick,
she the type that
get chose, chose
Baby girl so fine
She make a nigga wanna shout
Child's style so hood I
wanna see what she about
When she walk that walk
Walk that walk
Walk that walk
Good morning, beautiful.
Good morning.
I had fun last night.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
It doesn't have to end
just because the sun is up.
Well, I would love to stay,
but I have to be
somewhere in two hours.
Yeah, where?
Well I might be, oh,
up for my early release
from the halfway house.
Oh, congratulations.
Thank you.
At least let me
make you breakfast
or something before you leave.
Oh, you're gonna
make me breakfast?
Yeah.
Well I like omelets,
and I like pancakes and oatmeal.
I got it.
I think I can handle that.
Oh, okay.
Sasha Morgan?
Detective Carter.
So you remember me.
How could I forget?
Did you come here
to check up on me?
Absolutely not, no.
No, I was, my sister
works in the building,
and I'm just
dropping some flowers
and stuff off for her birthday.
Right.
Yeah, you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Look, I gotta go.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
No hard feelings, right?
You do know I was
doing my job, right?
Sis.
Brian.
Happy birthday.
Thank you brother, brother.
So you got time
to grab some lunch
with your old bro or what?
You bet I do.
My next appointment is not
til three, so I'm good.
All right, well, let's
go, a brother's starving.
Hey, did a lady by the
name of Sasha Morgan
stop in your office just now?
Oh, God, please don't tell me
she is under investigation.
No.
I just approved
her for early release
from the halfway house.
No, no, nah, she's
good, she's good.
Then why you barking
up her skirt then?
No reason, no reason at all.
Whatever, I don't believe you.
So, do you have any
questions thus far?
No, I think you
answered everything.
Oh, wait, you
mentioned that Malik
is the only person
who has the passwords
to all of the logins-
- Hey, hey, how's my girl doing?
Great, I think she'll work
out just fine Mr. Hathaway.
Good, that's
what I wanna hear.
Could you excuse
us for a second?
Yes, sir.
If you need anything
I'll be up front.
Okay, thank you.
I already told you
if we're gonna be
working in this
enviornment together
we are keeping things
strictly business.
All right, all
right, I'll play fair,
but you can't blame
me for trying.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.
Okay.
We're good, you can
trust me this time.
He's not willing to negotiate
so we're just gonna have
to go with his price.
This is the last time, Malik.
Okay, I'm already
having second thoughts.
I don't know this guy,
and I'm not trying
to get caught up.
Listen, Jewel, as long
as we keep things the same,
there's nothing to worry about.
That's what you
said last time.
Trust me,
I got it.
I've worked too hard,
I've worked too hard.
We've had some hiccups,
I've learned from my mistakes.
One last time.
Please.
Can you leave?
I love you too.
Three shots in
And I'm thinking about you
I just wanna say
congratulations,
you lasted a week with us.
Are you surprised?
Not at all.
I do believe that
sometime in the future
we can talk about a partnership.
One step at a time, baby.
Hey, baby, let me get this,
give me a second.
Yo.
Sasha.
James.
It's been a long time.
How are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
It's been a minute.
Yeah
I heard about what happened
to Memphis, I'm sorry,
he was a good dude.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
Hey, baby, who's
your little friend?
Malik, this is James.
James is an old
friend of Memphis.
What's good man?
All right, it was
good seeing you.
Good seeing you too.
Take it easy.
Wow.
Let's go.
But I haven't even
gotten our food yet.
I said let's go.
I'm sorry, baby.
I didn't mean to lose
my cool like that,
it won't happen again.
You know I love you, right?
I'm sorry.
Can we talk?
I'm busy.
Once again, I'm sorry
about the other night,
I didn't mean it.
Come on, Sasha, don't ignore me.
Look, lately we've been
having a great time together,
I really wanna continue
to be with you.
Can we have this
conversation later?
I bought you something.
I'll see it when I get off.
Sasha, look, don't
let one little mishap
mess up what we had.
Look, I told you
I was sorry, okay,
and I told you it
won't happen again.
Are you done?
Okay.
Hello?
Hello?
Hey baby, it's me.
Malik, what are
you doing here?
And how did you get in?
Technically this is my spot.
It's your spot?
It's my condo, I own
it, I got the keys.
You what?
Listen, Sash,
I didn't tell you because I
knew you wouldn't accept it
if I offered it to you.
So you lied to me,
and you tricked
me into moving in.
No, that's not it.
Yeah, you and Jewel played me.
Don't bring Jewel into it.
Okay, you know what-
- Don't do that.
Malik, just get out.
Get the hell out.
Get out?
Yes, get the hell out, leave.
See there you go again,
taking my kindness for granted.
I ain't going nowhere,
this is my shit.
Fine, I'll leave.
And go where?
I'll find a place.
I gave you a
new life, a condo,
a better playing job, a Benz.
A Benz?
Yeah, that too.
You an ungrateful ass bitch.
Who you calling a bitch?
And what you gonna do,
you gonna hit me?
'Cause you all up in my face.
Right.
Get your shit,
and get the fuck out.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait babe, wait.
Wait, wait, come here.
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm sorry.
Sash, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I told you I got you something.
Look.
What's wrong, you don't like it?
It's lovely.
Push the meeting
with Mr. Jacobs
back to next week,
early part of next week.
Why didn't you tell me
Malik owned the house?
Titi, could you
excuse us for a minute?
Are you sure?
Yes, she's sure.
Yes, please, thank you.
Sasha, what is the problem?
Aren't you two dating?
That's besides the point,
you should have told me.
I don't think it was
gonna be a big deal.
Look, I don't like surprises,
and I damn sure
don't like secrets,
especially with someone
who has a key to my place
who I didn't know had a key
showing up in the
middle of the night.
I'm sorry, I was just
trying to be a friend.
To me or to Malik?
Titi, get Malik.
I'm searching for the truth
I know I'm not the only one
Looking for hope
And dreaming of a better day
I wanna live life
I wanna be loved
But something's gotta give
I gotta find a better way
I can't go back no more
'cause I'm ready
And I was too tired
I need me a better me
I spend my life
going in circles
I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
I need the light back on
So I can see
It's nice.
Oh, let's just say
you motivated me.
I saved up enough money
for a down payment,
but unfortunately I
still need a loan.
And that's where I come in.
I hate to ask,
and I promise this
isn't a handout,
but I will pay you
back with interest.
So you're not gonna
snap on me again
for me trying to help you out?
Business is one thing,
men and relationships
is totally different.
One condition.
What's that?
We don't compete.
Well of course.
Undermining commissions
only hurt the industry.
And the profession.
It's the least I can do.
So come by the office
on Monday morning,
and I'll have Titi
cut you a check.
You are so welcome.
You're gonna do great.
Okay.
I gotta get out of here, girl.
All right, bye.
Right.
I can't wait till
I'm done decorating.
Yeah.
Let me call you right back.
Malik, what the hell?
Lower your voice when
you're talking to me.
Where you been?
I've been sitting
here nearly two hours
waiting on you.
I was out taking care,
I don't have to explain
my whereabouts to you.
Do you take me as
a joke or something?
Okay, you know what,
this is not gonna work,
you are an asshole.
Oh, I'm an asshole?
Yes, you're an asshole.
I'll show you an asshole.
Get off me.
I'll show you an asshole.
Get off me, put me down.
I'll show you an asshole.
Stop, stop it Malik.
Get your ass in there.
Get off me.
Malik.
Malik.
Open the door.
Malik.
Malik.
Sasha, what you're
describing to me
is not something that
you should take lightly.
This boyfriend, Malik,
he sounds like
he's suffering from
narcissistic
personality disorder.
What exactly is that?
A mental health condition.
Now it's one that you
can diagnose easily,
but you definitely
spelled out some of
the classic traits that
point to the disorder.
And the emotional abuse
that you sustained,
that is his way
of controlling you
to keep you helpless.
Bottom line, Sasha,
he is obsessed with the
idea of being with you
because you were
involved with a man
that he's envied
his entire life.
You are the winning prize.
And these mind games,
that's his way of keeping you
exactly where he
needs you to be,
needing him.
I'm telling you,
if you don't leave now
there ain't no telling
what he might do next.
Isn't this
considered harassment?
Nah, I'm just here
for a cup of coffee.
I'm not breaking any laws.
Seriously, I'm
just here for a cup of coffee.
Can a brother get
a cup of coffee?
Let me guess, you
want that black, right?
Actually cream and sugar.
What you working on back there?
I see you was busy.
Business plans.
Business plans?
Really?
How much do I owe you for this?
It's on me.
I don't need you
lingering around here,
interrogating me.
I tell you what,
that right there is my
personal business card,
when you get some time use it.
Detective.
You can call me Brian.
Brian, why you
being so nice to me?
In your eyes once a criminal
always a criminal, right?
Sasha, I mean,
everybody deserves a
second chance, right?
And when I look in your eyes
I see this beautiful black queen
who I would love to
get to know better,
I mean that's if
nobody beat me to it.
I tell you what, they want
me down at the office,
so think about it, all right?
Don't walk with
your head down
Other men did you low down
Girl, I'm gonna help
you off the ground
Girl, you're a queen
put it on the ground
Baby don't walk
with your head down
Other men did you low down
Girl, I'm gonna help
you off the ground
Girl, you're a queen
What's this?
You're still working
this fucking job
after I told you to quit?
And who was that?
You talking to cops now?
Malik, don't do this.
Don't do what?
See that you a
conniving ass bitch?
See that you've been lying
to me the whole time?
Huh, I gave you a job,
and you still
fucking working here?
Malik, you need to leave.
Or what?
Everything good little sister?
I'm gonna tell
you one time, bro,
go on, get up out of here.
I hear you.
I hear you loud and clear.
I don't need no trouble.
I'll see you around, Sasha.
If he come back, let me know.
He good.
What we do
Don't nobody get to question
What we do
Ain't nobody
touch what we do
Touch them how we do
Don't nobody get to
question what we do
Nobody can tell
us what to do
So you already know, once
I get things up and running,
you know you got a job.
And you gotta be a cool boss.
I want a raise too.
So this the new spot, huh?
Nice.
Very nice.
What are you
doing here, Malik?
You moved out, you
don't answer my calls.
Why you ignoring me, Sasha?
Just leave.
Can we talk?
No.
You need to leave like
she asked you to do.
That's between
me and her kiddo.
Nuh-uh, you know what?
Nuh-uh.
You understand
a child's place.
All right, sis, ima be
outside if you need me.
Look, Sash, I'm
sorry about everything.
Lately I've just been,
mentally just gone mentally,
and I've been having
a lot on my mind.
But I love you.
And I wanna be there for you.
Who told you about this place?
Who else?
Malik, we broke up,
it's over between us.
Just leave, I'm doing
my own thing now.
Who you think you talking to
with your ungrateful ass?
Do you have any idea
who you're dealing with?
Do you know what
I can do to you?
After everything
I've been through,
you of all people don't
put any fear in my heart.
Sasha, is he a problem?
Just say the word.
You got yourself a
little security guard.
Just leave, and
don't come back.
Congrats on your little spot.
You'll need me again.
And good riddance
with yo creepy ass.
Whatever trick.
He a fucking creep.
Girl, that's a dusty ass.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
Well looky here.
Oh, look at this.
Curtesy of my bestie.
Oh, great minds think alike.
Wow, it's really
coming together.
It is, isn't it?
I love it.
I knew it wasn't
gonna be a mistake
investing in this
place with you.
Investing?
Yeah, I thought about it,
and don't worry about
paying me back that money,
I think we need to be
in business together.
I'm okay with 25%.
Okay, so let me
understand this,
so I do all the hard work,
and you just come swoop in
and collect the benefits?
Sasha, I mean let's be real,
you wouldn't have all this stuff
if it wasn't for that
additional money I gave you.
It's strictly business.
I just asked for a
simple favor from you,
not your involvement.
And I damn sure didn't intend
to enter into a partnership.
Okay, so you have a problem
doing business with me after
everything we've been through?
I hate misconception.
You think I misled you?
Why did you tell Malik
about my new office?
He asked what you were up to,
and I told him, nothing
more, nothing less.
I mean what is the issue?
I mean we all grew up together.
It's not like he's a stranger.
Are you in business with him?
Because if you're doing
business with Malik
then I don't wanna
be involved with you.
Malik is a great businessman,
he helped build my business
to where it is today,
and I don't shit on my
friends, Sasha, you know that.
Okay, so then you owe him.
What is your
problem with Malik?
Hell, what is your
problem in general.
Malik is a jerk, Jewel.
He's manipulative
and he's trouble,
and if you don't seen
that then your naive.
Naive?
Wow.
It's easy for you to judge
someone else's come up
when you've been taken care of
ever since you were 19.
If you're
referring to Memphis,
he did not take care of me.
Girl, bye.
Memphis had you all strutting
around the hood spoiled.
But I'll admit you
slept with the right one
to get on top,
didn't have to work
hard for anything.
But me, I busted my ass to
get to where I am today.
I earned every
dime of my success,
and I don't feel
guilty about it.
I didn't have to bed
a baller to get mine.
Jewel, it sounds like
you been jealous of me
for a very long time.
So it must feel real good
for you to finally
see me down on my luck
asking for a simple favor
just so you can throw this shit
back in my face.
You know what, you
and Malik both can go
straight to hell.
You know, I didn't
come here for this.
I thought I was helping
out my best friend,
but I see that
you're impossible.
Have a nice life.
Goodbye.
Yeah so have you been before?
I heard it's beautiful there.
I've never been there,
but I could imagine
lying on that beach
and looking at the stars.
And the weather is amazing.
Here are your drinks.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Do you have any
salads or anything.
Make that two.
Of course, enjoy.
Gotta admit, I almost thought
you wasn't gonna call me.
Well, I didn't
know if I would.
So what made you
change your mind?
I don't know,
maybe I'm not the phantom type.
Not the phantom type.
Uh-huh.
Okay, all right.
Well, to new beginnings.
To new beginnings
and something new.
And something new, you
ain't gonna forget about that.
That's good, that's good.
Gentleman, can I help you?
Jewel Curry, we have a
warrant for your arrest.
What?
No, there's gotta
be a mistake here.
Can you,
can you just,
can I grab my cell phone?
Titi.
Titi call my lawyer, let
them know what's happening.
Sounds like we need to
renegotiate our agreement.
It's $100,000 over budget.
I'll have my team
take a look at it
and fix the numbers where
it's beneficial to you,
how about that?

real estate company
invests profoundly
in local communities,
and we've closed more deals
than 90% of our competitors.
Impressive.
That's why she's the best
and I brung her to you.
It's the only reason why
I'm doing business with you
is because of her.
Well, we'll negotiate
a great price,
and we'll keep you in the loop
as the transaction progresses.
And we're talking?
It's on the market
for $2.6 million.
Ah, but it's in Dallas.
Not a fan of the Cowboys.
Now that was interesting.
Malik, don't get me caught up
in your bullshit.
Got us some chips for a snack.
Is that barbecue?
No, it's plain.
Girl, give me one.
Not expecting anyone.

don't want your name

You must have something
to share with us.
