(Carter groans)
- Shit.

I gotta go.
- So fuck chilling
with me today, huh?
- Told you me and Jalen
had some shit to do today.
- I'm so sick and tired of
hearing about Jalen ass.
Y'all can't do shit
without each other.
- We could do a lot
without each other,
but we gotta get
this money together.
You know, money over bitches.
- So I'm a bitch now?
- (chuckles) Yeah, my bitch.
- Man, fuck you, Carter.
- [Carter] You know what?
Huh, go pick up Destiny.
Y'all have a spa day on me.
- You do know money isn't the
answer to everything, right?
- Shit, I ain't ran into a
problem it couldn't fix yet.
(shower starting)
- This...
(distant horns honking)
- [Jalen] What's the deal, bro?
- It's good, bro.
Shit, I can't call it.
- Hey, when was the last time
you talked to little Christian?
- [Jalen] Shit,
not since earlier.
Why?
- You know he got
school in two weeks?
His little ass act like
he don't want to go.
I'm gonna have to sit
him down and talk to him.
- [Jalen] Man, here you go, bro.
Sound like somebody's
daddy and shit.
- That ain't even it.
But shit, I basically am.
You know, Mama
ain't give a fuck.
- [Jalen] Bro.
Ain't nobody perfect, man.
- I forgot, I can't say
shit about your mama
without you coming
with an excuse.
- [Jalen] Bro, I'm
not making excuses,
I'm just saying,
we all done make
some fucked up decisions, bro.
- Yeah, fucked up decisions
turn into bad choices.
Choices you gotta stand on, bro.
Come on.
(door shutting)
- [Destiny] Hey, baby.
- What's up, love?
- [Piper] Hey babe.
What's up, fellas?
- Good to see you, babe.
Where y'all ass coming from?
- Piper treated us to a
mani and pedi spa day.
You like my nails, baby.
- You know I love pink on you.
- Yeah, of course I do. (kisses)

moves for me out here.
- Period.
Honey, that's right.
- (chuckles) Destiny,
shut the fuck up.
- Watch out, bro.
- Babe, I'm not saying
you can't handle your own.
All I'm saying,
I know you don't like
spending your own money.
That's why you always
spending my shit.
- [Piper] Well, technically
the money I spent today
wasn't exactly outta my pocket.
It was from an unexpected bonus
from putting in some
extra hours on the job.
- That right?
- [Destiny] Extra hours?
Since when did you
start putting in
extra hours at the hospital.
Before I went on maternity leave
we couldn't get you
to do a regular shift.
- Well, Miss Mamas, between
you being on maternity leave
and a few nurses transferring,
shit, we just been
short staffed.
- I do miss my job,
but between this baby
and standing on my
feet 10, 12 hours,
I just could not do
it, I be tired like.
- Yeah, I feel you, trust me.
But you ain't missing shit.
It's still a bunch of
hating goofy-ass hoes
sitting around
gossiping all day.
- Your goofy-ass
gonna be right there
gossiping with 'em.
Every time.
- Shut up. (chuckles)
- Well, that's why I'm happy
my man make sure I'm straight
whether I'm working or not.
- Yeah, you definitely lucked
up and got you a good one.
- And you didn't?
- Of course I did,
baby. Come on.
- I'm about to go to Mama house,
see if I can catch Christian.
- He and the rest of
his theory though.
- [Jalen] About to follow
you over there, bro.
- Alright, bet.
Hey, I ain't finna
be late tonight.
Jalen gonna hold it down.
- [Destiny] Okay, baby.
See you.
- Let me know if
you need anything.
- Okay.
Text me let me know
what you want for dinner
so I can have it ready. Okay?
- [Carter] Alright.
- Alright, baby. Be careful.
(Jalen and Carter chattering)
(door clunking)
- Man, what the
fuck is y'all doing?
Don't y'all niggas
know how to knock?
- Who this little
nigga talking to?
Nigga, we pay the
bills in this bitch.
- Nobody about to knock, nigga.
- Matter of fact, hey ma,

- Nigga, hold on, bro.
Who the fuck is you

Don't be coming up here

(Carter laughs)
- You right, baby bro.
Excuse me, ma'am, can

and kindly get the
fuck up outta here.
- See, Christian, this what
the fuck I'm talking about.
I'm about to keep coming over
here dealing with this shit.
You need to get your
own fucking place.
- Only place this nigga getting

- [Christian] Hey.

- Hey, go home, I'll
call you in a minute.
- Yeah, get up outta here.
- You got something you
need to tell me, nigga?
- I'm not going away to school.
(Carter laughs)
- Fuck you talking about?
- Nah, bro, this nigga tripping.
You going to school,
that ain't no option.
- Are you my fucking daddy?
I'm grown as fuck now.
So all of them days of
you telling me what to do.
It's over, nigga.
(Carter scoffs)
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
(hands smacking)
(dramatic music)
(fists smacking)
- Bro, Mama, Mama,
bro, Mama, Mama.
- Back the fuck.
- What you push me for?
- You okay, baby?
- [Christian] Yeah.
- Fuck is wrong with you?
Putting your hands
on your brother
like he's some nigga
in the streets?
- Maybe if you stay
out the streets,
you know what the fuck
going on with your son.
(palm slapping)
- Who the fuck
you talking to, nigga?
- Ma, chill.
Man, Carter had every right
to put his hands on Christian.
- Ain't no damn
reason good enough
to put your hands
on your brother.
I raised y'all better than that.
(Carter scoffs)
- [Carter] Raised us?
You was barely around.
- Bro, let that shit go, bro.
- Nah, bro, let your
mama hear about herself
since she thinks she perfect.
- You got something to say?
You got something you
wanna get off your chest?
Speak on it, son.
- Yeah, ma, you wasn't
around like that.
You didn't give a fuck
about what we was doing.
All you ever cared
about was yourself.
- [Chantelle] Myself?
- Yourself!
And the niggas you was
chasing around every week.
You didn't give a fuck less
about what we had going on.
- Myself and them
niggas you talking about
is the reason y'all
had name brand shit.
Good shit!
And I ain't hear
not one complaint
when y'all was
rocking that shit.
So don't say shit now.
You and your brothers
ain't never went without.
- Yeah, we went without.
Without having a mom around.
Bro, I'm gone.
- Good.
(Jalen sighs)
- All this bullshit.
- Anybody gonna tell me
what the fuck going on?
(door shutting)
- Ma, Imma let
your son tell you.
(suspenseful music)
- I'm listening.
(suspenseful music)
(faint hip-hop music plays)
- [Jalen] So you done
put your butts on,
Mama'll smack the shit out you.
- (chuckles) Ha ha.
Nigga, fuck you.
- Hey bro, but you
was wrong as hell
for crushing Christian
mama feelings like that.
- I wasn't trying to
crush her feelings.
It was about time I let
her know how I feel.
How the fuck she don't know
Christian talking about
not going to school.
- Nigga, the same
way we ain't know.
And we with him every day.
(Carter sighs)
All I'm saying, bro.
It's less shit on her,
and we gotta at least
let little bro up.
- I ain't trying
to hear shit out.
Less he talking about
getting that dorm together.
- Bro, look man, I
love you and all,
but you really gotta
chill on little bro.
- What the fuck is
you trying to say?
- Man, all I'm saying is
that's not your son, bro.
Your kid on the way.
- Man, fuck this shit.
I'm out.
Bitch gonna play that tune
- You got a fucking
attitude problem.
- [Carter] Fuck you.
- Bitch.
(door slamming)
(faint hip-hop music plays)
(birds singing)
(distant dog barking)
- What's up, Domone.
- What's up, my baby?
Shit, I just grabbed
some of that fire
from them niggas over
there on Linwood.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, you got a wood?
- Hell yeah.
- Let me get that up off you.
- Here, huh.
Like, get that shit
outta my pocket.
- Nigga, what the fuck
happened to your eye?
- Family shit.
. Oh shit, nigga.
Which one of your brothers
done whipped up on
your ass this time?
- Nigga, fuck you.
- What happened
though, for real, dog?
- Shit man, I finally told
'em I wasn't going to school.
- They beat your ass for that?
Nigga, you better get you a
pistol round this bitch, boy.
- For my brothers?
- Nigga, hell yeah.
Them niggas don't
mind fucking you up.
- Nah, bro, it ain't
nothing like that.
See, Carter
practically raised me.
He just don't want me to
be another street nigga.
- Nigga, your smart-ass do
need to be in somebody college
done talking like that.
- I ain't say I wasn't going,
I just don't wanna go right now.
But in the meantime
I gotta figure out
how to make this money so I
ain't gotta ask Carter for shit.
- Hey, my brother Blaze can
put you on with some work.
- Hell no.
You know Blaze and Mom
Duke's nigga Khalil cool.
If Khalil found out I was
moving weight he'd kill me.
Then tell Mom so
she'll kill me again.
- Dude, you so fucking scary.
Blaze ain't gonna tell
Khalil shit, nigga.
That's your move.
Ain't got shit to do with him.
You ain't 10 years old no more.
You gotta get off your ass,
nigga, strap your nuts on.
Can't depend on your
brothers forever, nigga.
- I feel you.
- So you ready to get
this money or what?
- Hell yeah.
- Imma take you over there.
- Yeah.
(TV characters speaking)
- Oh, I'll be back
- Where your ass going?
- To my mother's house.
Is that okay, Daddy?
- Man, you love running
the streets, don't you?
- (scoffs) Hold on.
I know your ass not saying shit
about nobody being
in the streets.
As much as your ass let
us stay gone with Carter
- Bro, me and Carter grown men.
We handle business.
Something you might not about.
But your ass need to
be around this bitch
cooking or cleaning
or something.
(Piper giggles)
- Wait.
Does your mama stay around the
house cooking and cleaning?
- Better watch your
motherfucking mouth.
- Exactly.
Like I said, I won't
be out too late.
Would you like some food
on my way home, sweetie?
- Nah, I order out some shit.
- Mm, suit yourself.
(door clunking)
(door slamming)
(mellow R&B music)
- Hey, what the you doing here?
You know damn well
Destiny not here.
- So?
I came to give you something.
- Fuck you came to give me?

- I know.
I come over and
get you naked
Say, I want you
- Gee, you on all bullshit.
You play too much.

(phone ringing)
Let's do this when I'm sober
- Yo?
- [Jalen] What's chillin', bro.
- Shit, chilling at the crib

Hey, you know about the
barbecue at Mama's house later?
- Yeah Mama text me
about that shit earlier.
- [Jalen] Shit, you going?
- Yeah, you know Imma have to.
I'm trying to see if Destiny

Piper's slick-mouth ass with me.
Hey man, that bitch

No can cut the fuck off.
- Shit, you need to get that
shit under control, bro.
Before that shit get outta hand.
- [Jalen] Yeah, I here you.

Send a siren in my system
Tell me why your

Before your ass missing
He ain't shit but he love me
He ain't one of my problems
I plead the fifth
when I'm drinking
Get caught up
when we talking
So let's do this
when I sober up
Let's do this
when I sober up
- You sure you can't
stay for the barbecue?
- No, I already told my mama
that I was gonna have
her car to her by three
so she can make it
to work on time.
- I can follow you
to drop her off
and you can come back with me.
- No babe, it's okay.
And plus, I'm not ready to pass
the potato saddle
across the table.
Your brother's
just seen me naked.
(Christian laughs)
- At least the hands
are looking good.
- Whatever. You
are something else.
Imma call you when
I make it home.
- Alright, my babe.
(door clunking)
Hey, Ma.
- Go take this somewhere safe.
- Alright.
- My Ma.
What's up, Ma?
- Hey Jalen, how you doing?
- I'm alright.
- Hey, Chantelle.
- What just happened?
- Mom, be nice.
Ain't you got it smelling
good. What you doing?
- Get out.
Don't put your hands in
my pot until you wash.
And don't play with me.
You know I ain't one
of these young-ass hoes
that don't know how to make
nothing but Chicken Alfredo.
I can cook. I just
do it when I want to.
- And so do I.
- Come on y'all.
Can we have a good family
event today, please?
- Absolutely.
The family can.
- Hey, can you make us
some plates so we can eat?
(door clunking)
- Damn, Ma, you got it
smelling good as hell in here.
- Hey, everybody.
- Hey, how y'all doing?
- Hey, girl.
- Hey, hun.
Ooh, look at you.
How my grandbaby doing?
- Besides your grandbaby
thinking it's cute
to keep me up all night
kicking, we're good.
- Starting already, hm.
Oh, before I forget,
I got your cobbler.
Made it just how you like
it, with the extra crust?
- Yes, that sounds
like you love me.
How you know I was
craving sweets?
- [Chantelle] Girl,
I went through
the same thing with Carter.
Ain't nothing sweet
about him now.
(both laughing)
- [Carter] Dang.
- That's all.
I'm taking it home and putting
it right in refrigerator.
For me.
- Jalen, are you ready to go?
Or you expecting me to sit here
and hold these plates all day?
- Man, come on.
- I'll be glad when
he see that bitch
for the conniving ho she is.
She can't fool me.
- Mom, be nice.
Piper can be a little bitchy,
but she really is cool
once you get to know her.
- Cool my ass.
I wouldn't trust that bitch
as far as I can throw her.
(Carter laughs)
And all that fake-ass
ass she carrying around,
that wouldn't be very far.
- Ma, how you know her ass fake?
- [Chantelle] Because
it don't move.
Am I lying?
- [Carter] You crazy.
You need some help?
- Yeah, here baby.
- Get this for you.
Now we about to go up in here.
- [Chantelle] Y'all go in there.
I'll be in there shortly.
- My, it's crazy.
- Stop, stop.
- Hey, look what's up, brother.
- What's up, sis?
- What's up with y'all?
- Hey you, how y'all doing?
- Chilling and chilling.
- Damn, bro, you have
it good ain't you?
- Yeah, fuck you.
- Hey, man, y'all
not start no shit.
- We good, bro.
I knew he was gonna
try me one day.
Just like your ass did.
Same results.
All niggas gonna know
who the big brother is.
- Talking crazy.
- Nigga needed to jump your ass.
- [Carter] Hell yeah.
- (chuckles) Y'all can relax
because ain't nobody jumping
my men at this table.
- Calm down, killer.
These niggas know what's up.
- [Jalen] Yeah.
(Carter laughs)
- Huh, bro.
- What's this for?
- Shit, it's on me.
Go ahead and do
what you need to do.
- Sure, I will.
- Look at your
spoiled ass, nigga.
- You act like you ain't
been around forever.
You little bro too.
- This is some real shit, dog,
but I can't take this, bro.
Nigga, this is handout.
I'm like your little brother
but I ain't your little brother.
This a handout, bro, I can't.
I gotta get off
my ass and get it.
- Shit, I'll have it.
(all laugh)
- I can't do nothing
but respect that.
Shit, if you ever need
anything let me know.
We family, nigga.
- It's on you.
- Who getting their ass busted?
- Your brother.
- Now, come on now.
You know better than that.
- [Carter] I got next.
- Hey y'all.
- What this ho-ass
nigga doing here?
- Carter!
(ominous music)
- This is my
motherfucking house.
Khalil is my guest and
you will respect that.
You understand me?
- I ain't respecting no
nigga that don't pay bills.
- [Chantelle] You know what?
I'm getting real
motherfucking tired
of your disrespectful-ass
attitude.
This is my shit,
and he can lay up in this
motherfucker when he wants to.
You don't run shit.
- Tell him to pay a bill then.
- Ain't a problem, playboy.
- It shouldn't be.
Man, you've been around
forever for free.
- I did a lot of shit
around this motherfucker
too, little nigga.
I ain't gotta go around
broadcasting every little
move I make. You hear me?
- What you saying?
- You gotta take you and your
disrespectful-ass attitude
and leave now.
- Come on Destiny, let's go.
- Carter, calm down.
- I said let's go.
(ominous music)
- I'm sorry, Ma.
- It ain't your fault, baby.
It's mine for letting Carter
think he can run around
this motherfucker talking
crazy to everybody
'cause he pay a few bills.
That shit gonna stop today.
- Alright, I'll call you later.
- Don't forget your cobbler.
It's on the table right there.
- [Destiny] Okay.
(door clunking)
- Okay, everybody,
it's time to go.
I ain't in the mood
for this shit no more.
(Piper clears throat)
- Well good because I was
ready to leave anyway.
- We'll be home, bro.
We got some shit.
Put some on the floor, okay.
- Man,
- Okay.
- Shit, let me know, bro.
(guests muttering)
(slow somber R&B music)
- So have you talked
to Christian about
what he going to do?
Is he going to
college or something?
- I don't know.
- Ain't that something
you can talk to him about?
- Damn, he just graduated
three weeks ago.
Can he have a minute
to breathe and think?
- Fuck no, not if that
little nigga gotta eat.
It's time for you
to let him grow up
and become a man, Telle.
- He good for now. That's
what he got us for.
Imma ignore the pressure
- I fuck with you
on Christian heavy.
Not to mention that
pussy hitting good
than a motherfucker.
Ain't no pussy
good enough for me
to take care of a
grown-ass man, baby.
That ain't gonna happen.
- You act like you
ain't been around
my kids their whole life.
- I sat here and watched these
little niggas run around,
do whatever the fuck
they wanted to do.
While you ripping and
running the streets,
chase behind motherfuckers.
(slow somber R&B music)
- Are you forgetting
when I was ripping and
running the streets
I was with your ass
most of the time, nigga?
Did you forget that?
- I ain't forget.
But it was some not most.
That's the only reason
why I ain't fought Carter
and blow this up into something.
Baby won't do what I want
- You know what?
Watch your mouth and watch
how you speak on my son.
Carter talks shit, he do.
But he love his brother,
and he ain't gonna see
him out here fucked up.
That I know
- That's what your problem is.
Give these little niggas
too much credit, babe.
- No, I gave your ass too
much credit apparently.
See yourself out.
(slow somber R&B music)
I can't believe I stayed
- That be fucked up.
That's why these little
niggas run over your ass.
- Lock my door.
Lazy-ass.
(door clunking)
(chilled R&B music)
- [Domone] Come on, bro.
- [Christian] Man, sound.
- [Blaze] Domone,
what's the word?
- Shit, what's up?
- Chilling, dog.
- Lemme holler at my
brother real quick.
- You remember my nigga
Christian, don't you?
- Yeah. What up?
- What up, dog?
- [Domone] Hey, we
need to holler at you
about something though.
- Shit, what's up?
- Yeah, I know you
hate the small talk
so I'm gonna get
straight to the shit.
My nigga trying to get
put onto some work.
- You ever saw work before?
- A little weed here and
there in high school.
- This nigga talking
about a little weed
here and there in high school.
This ain't no nickels
and dimes, my boy.
- He straight though. He good.
(chilled R&B music)
- Come here, baby.
(chilled R&B music)
- Straight.
(chilled R&B music)
- Blood or not,
this nigga fuck that bag up,
Mama gonna be getting
that black dress ready.
And I'm killing
both of you niggas.
(chilled R&B music)
(distant horns honking)
- What? What are you doing here?
- Being that you won't
return any of my calls,
the only way that I could
talk to my own damn daughter
is to pop up at your job.
- Wait, I know you
ain't coming to my job
acting all ghetto and shit.
- Ghetto?
(ominous music)
Listen, bitch.
Kill the uppity act, okay,
because I know for real.
Hell, the only reason you
even got this damn job
is because you were sucking
the professor's dick, uh-huh.
All during nursing school
just to get passing grades
while living in my
house rent free.
- Are you forgetting these
the same dick-sucking skills
that kept food on the
table and clothes on me,
my brother and my sister back.
- As you should.
- It was your slutty-ass
allegations that
ran my man away.
- Your man?
Your man was raping me
every chance that he got.
. Bitch, stop lying.
You been fucking since
you was 12 years old.
Ain't nobody rape you.
(scoffs) You were fucking
him at your own free will.
- You are sick.
- (cackles) Come on.
Are you forgetting
that I caught you sucking
his dick like a porn star.
- Only after he threatened
to start raping my
sister if I didn't.
See, this is the exact
reason why I left
and never looked back.
- No, you left and
you didn't look back
because you a selfish-ass bitch.
- Selfish?
I'm the same bitch
that sent money
to my brother and
sister every month.
Girl, them crumbs ain't shit.
What they need is a relationship
with their damn sister.
I might not see them
as much as I would like
but we talk on the
phone all of the time.
And just because you
don't see our relationship
damn sure don't mean
we ain't got one.
(ominous music)
- Look, I just found out that
I have stage four cancer.
So I'm not gonna live
that long. Alight?
(somber piano music)
And you gonna be all

And although that

it's a constitutional reason
'cause I know my rights.
- [Eric] Constitutional rights?
What you know about commissary?
- License and registration,
proof of insurance.
(ominous music)
- [Christian] Here

Last thing they want is a

- So what now, Mr.
Constitutional fucking rights?
- Oh, hm.

(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(footsteps approaching)
- Khalil, get up,

- What? What's going on?
- Family shit, aight.
I'll hit you up later.
- You want me to go with you?
- Hell no.
Not 'til I figure out what's
going on with Christian.
The last thing I need is
you and Carter into it
'cause you with me, mm-mm.
- That ain't even about that.
You done roll with a nigga
through a lot of shit, huh.
- Because that's
what real bitches do.
But where's all
this coming from?
I hope you ain't giving
me this mushy-ass speech
'cause you don't how the
money I asked you for.

You're ass too old for all
this gold digging shit.
That shit play.
- Y'all niggas kill me.
Y'all wanna fuck

How the fuck does that work?
- I ain't never been

I blew a bag on you, baby.
But I just wanna make sure

And that you are.
- So what you trying to say?
- I know you think I make all

It's time for us to get

- We just need to get the
fuck up outta here, baby.
I-I mean, ain't you tired
of running behind Carter
and, and all that bullshit?
And dealing with all
these ho-ass niggas
just to pay your bills.
- What Imma do with Christian?
I can't just leave him.
- You can bring him with us.
I got a five bedroom
crib down there in Texas.
I show him the real estate game
and so he can make
his own money legally.
Ain't gotta deal with
all this bullshit.
- Alright, let me go
handle the situation
and we'll talk about it, okay?
Okay.
- I hope to be
hearing from you soon.
- You will, I'm
gonna call you later.
(somber music)
(ominous music)
(phone ringing)
- Yeah Ma, what's going on?
- [Chantelle] Carter, get up.
Need you and Jalen to meet
me at the police station.
- Calm down. What's going on?
- [Chantelle] Your brother

- Alright, I'm on my way.
- I'm going too.
- No, stay your ass here.
I'll call you when
I get down there.

- Can't be nothing too serious.
Christian ain't into no shit.
(phone ringing)
- Well, something happened.
His ass locked up.
(message alert dinging)
- Who is that blowing you
up this time of night?
- Destiny ass probably worried
about what's going
on with Christian.
- Ma'am?
- Yes, yes.
- So your son will be released
pending further investigation.
- Pending further investigation?
What the fuck y'all
lock him up for anyway?
- Sir, I need you
to lower your voice.
Now, I can't give out
no more information.
That's all I can give you.
- (sighs) Man.
- I'll be right back.
- This is bullshit.
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, I need you to put
your ear to the street.
Something's going
on with Christian.
And I'd like to find out what.
(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(phone ringing)
(Destiny groans)
(phone ringing)
- Come on.
Why's he not
answering the phone?
(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(pages rustling)
(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(sinister music)
- Hey, what the fuck

- Man, you gotta talk to
Christian about that shit.
- Nigga, I'm talking to you.

- Nigga, we got fronted some

That's what happened.
- Some work?

- Nigga, you getting

Who the fuck gave

(ominous piano music)
- Khalil, man.
- Khalil?
- Carter, you go on
and check on Destiny.
I'm gonna wait on
Christian, okay.
- You sure?
- Yeah, they let Eric out.
Christian shouldn't
be too much longer.
- Alright, keep me posted.
(ominous piano music)
- What the fuck is wrong
with you, Christian?
Selling drugs, really?
- I was just trying
to make a few dollars.
I can't depend on Carter.
Shit, you shouldn't either.
- Now you gonna disrespect
me sitting in my car
just like your fucking brother.
(ominous music)
I know you hear
me talking to you.
(message alert chimes)
Don't ignore me.
- Fuck, man.
- Christian, have you
lost your damn mind?
- Ma.
- What?
- I'm in trouble.
- What kinda trouble?
- Like life or death.
Literally.
(ominous music)
- Hey girl, you came to visit.
Let me find out you
missing us already.
- I think I'm going
into labor early.
- What?
Where is Carter?
- I don't know.
Something happened to Christian.
He left the house
about a hour ago.
I keep calling his phone
but it's going
straight to voicemail.
- Okay.
Uh, Danielle, please
take her to room four.
I'll page Dr. Green ASAP.
- Come on, Destiny.
Let's get you settled
into a hospital gown.
Okay babe?
Wait, gimme your phone.
I'll keep trying to call
Carter and see what's going on.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- No problem at all, right.
(somber music)
(machines beeping)
- Hey, how's her vitals?
- Um, everything looks good.
Her blood pressure is a
little on the high side.
Nothing to worry too
much about, okay.
I'm sure it's just
because of the pain, um,
but I'll go to double
check to see if we can
get her something
for the pain. Okay?
- Okay.
Dr. Green should
be here shortly.
She was finishing a labor and
delivery when I paged her.
- [Danielle] Okay,
well perfect then.
I'll be back in a second.
I have to run and check on
a few other patients, okay?
- Okay, thank you.
- [Danielle] Okay.
- Did you talk to Carter yet?
- No, but he should
be here soon.
- He better be.
I'm gonna be so mad at him
if he missed the
birth of our child.
- He won't. Don't worry.
- Come take this IV off me.
I gotta use the bathroom.
- Now, you know you should
not be getting outta bed
until the doctor examine you.
- Hey, but I'm going
to the bathroom,
not the grocery store.
Hurry up.
- [Piper] Okay.
(machines beeping)
- Thank you.
Ooh.
And check with Danielle
about my pain medicine.
- Okay.
(ominous piano music)
- Whoa, thanks.
(Destiny groans)
(ominous music)
- [Danielle] I'm back.
Here you go.
- Thank you so much.
- It's only aspirin so
it might not help much
but, hey, it's better
than nothing, right?
- Girl, I would take
anything right now.
- Okay.
I'll take that.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Let's get you hooked
back up to your IV.
(ominous music)
- Hey, where did Piper go?
- She'll be back shortly.
But you get some rest
until the doctor gets here.
- Tell that to this
baby that's trying
to make his grand
entrance today.
(Danielle chuckles)
- [Danielle] Okay, I'll be back
and you know to
hit the call button
if you need anything, okay?
- Yes, alright.
Thank you again.
- [Danielle] Of course.
(machines beeping)
(chilled R&B music)
- Long time, no see.
- My nigga, Khalil.
What's going on with you man?
- What's been up, my nigga.
- Shit, same old
shit, man, same ol'.
- Yeah.
What bring to my
neck of the woods?
(chilled R&B music)
- I hear my girl's son
owe you a little tag.
- [Brody] 10 K.
I got some shit for
you to sift through
I know I wasn't perfect but
you really gonna kill me
Been a long ways not to
(cash slapping)
Mm-mm.
Five extra K for late fees.
When the world was
trying to kill me
- Trying to wax me up?
- You know how this shit go.
- That's another 10, dog.
Don't front that little
nigga no work no more.
Next time I come to you,
ain't gonna be to get caught
up on the old times, Brody.
(pensive piano music)
(ominous music)
- Yeah, that pussy must be
gooder than a motherfucker.
(Brody laughs)
- Yeah, so you know I took care
of that business for you, right?
So you think about
what we talked about?
Sounds like you need
to be packing there.
(lid clunking)
(bag thudding)
(dramatic music)
(gun firing)
(machines beeping)
(Destiny groaning)
- Nurse!
- Destiny, what's,
what's going on?
What's wrong?
- I don't know.
- What's..?
(Destiny groans)
I need a doctor in here.
Now!
I just need you
to breathe, okay?
- What the hell happened?
- I gave her the two
aspirin about an hour ago
like you instructed me to.
30 minutes ago she was
just fine, I swear.
Dest, just breathe, babe.
Just breathe.
- [Dr. Green]
Destiny, stay calm.
It's okay.
We're gonna figure
out what's going on.
Listen to me, Destiny.
I know you don't want
to hear this right now,
but if you wanna save your baby,
we gotta deliver her right now.
- No, I can't.
Daddy's not here.
- [Danielle] I'm here,
I'm here with you, okay.
- [Dr. Green] Unfortunately
you don't have another option.
I'll be right back.
- [Danielle] Everything's
gonna be fine.
You don't have to
do this alone, okay.
Just breathe with me, okay.
Breathe. Breathe.
Everything's gonna be fine.
(somber music)
I thought it was right
Everything that I
had inside my mind
Yeah, it felt so good
Walking next to you
You said you liked me too
Words I thought were true
Yeah, it felt so good
Sometimes I wonder why
We were something
'cause we're nothing
Your heartbeat
Everything felt so right
for such a long time
Ah
(melancholy piano music)
- (crying) She died.
- What?
- (crying) Our baby died.
(Destiny bawls)
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny whimpers)
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny sobs)
Careful.
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny bawls)
No.
- I'm sorry, but I
have to take her now.
- Wait, what?
- (whispering) I'm sorry,
(Destiny sobs)
- Our baby.
- [Danielle] I'm so sorry
for your loss, Destiny.
(Destiny sobs)
- Where were you?
Where were you?
- I told you I had to take care
of some stuff for Christian.
- And that was more
important than being here
for me and your baby.
- Baby, when I left the house,
you was doing perfectly fine.
What happened from then to now?
- So none of my missed calls
alerted you that something
was wrong with me?
- Missed calls?
I don't have any missed calls.
If I would've never
stopped at the house
and looked at the
letter you left me
I wouldn't even know
you was up here.
- Carter, stop lying.
Piper told me she called you.
- Dest, I'm not lying.
I have no missed calls.
(ominous music)
- What?
That's weird.
- [Carter] Where's
your phone at?
- Piper got it still
- Piper got it?
Okay, where's Piper at?
Why would she leave
you here by yourself?
- I don't know.
Everything happened so fast.
Let me see your phone
so I can see if I can
check the location.
(machines beeping)
(ominous music)
(Destiny whimpers)
what?
Why is Piper downtown?
- Downtown?
What the fuck?
- She at least could
have left my phone here.
- Fuck that bitch.
That's the last thing
you need to be worried
about right now.
(ominous music)
- [Danielle] Oh Destiny.
So I do have to get some blood
so that we can run
a few tests. Okay?
(ominous music)
(Destiny whimpers)
(machines beeping)
(sinister music)
(melancholy music)
(Destiny whimpers)
Just...
That's good.
Um, I'll just run this down
so that we can go ahead
and run the lips and
everything, okay?
- Okay.
(melancholy music)
- Okay.
Alright Jess.
I'm about to go to the house,
grab your bag for the night.
Do you need anything?
You sure?
Okay, I promise I'm gonna
be right back. Alright?
(ominous music)
Hey, Danielle.
- Hey Carter, did
you need something?
- Yeah, what happened
with Destiny earlier?
- Listen, I'm just as
confused as you are.
She came in saying that she was
having slight stomach pains,
but that's nothing abnormal
for her stage of pregnancy.
- So nothing out the norm?
- No, I checked
all of her vitals
and everything looked good.
I mean, her blood
pressure was a little high
but nothing alarming.
And when I left outta
the hospital room,
her and Piper was
talking and laughing
and everything seemed fine.
- Piper?
- Piper was treating her?
- Er, yeah, she is
on duty tonight.
- Where's she at now?
- Hm, that's a good question.
I thought she was on lunch
but she should've
been back by now.
- Excuse me, nurse.
- Yes. Hi.
- Talk to you later.
- Did you get a chance to get
Ms. Wilson's blood samples?
- [Danielle] I did, I actually
have the samples right here.
- Can you send those over to
the lab as soon as possible.
- [Danielle] Okay.
- [Dr. Green] And can you
please have them checked
for anything out
of the ordinary?
- I'll get right on it.
- Thank you so much.
Something in my
gut is telling me
something's not
alright about this.
(ominous music)
- So it took me
being on my deathbed
to finally get you here, huh?
(ominous music)
- The point is I'm here now.
I'm not about to keep
punishing my brother and sister
for your mistakes.
- Piper, I'm sorry.
He confessed and he told
me what he did to you.
And I should have believed you.
- We here now, Ma.
It's time to just focus
on you getting better.
I'm so sorry.
- [Ivy] Oh my God, Piper.
- Sis.
- I can't believe you here.
- Me neither.
But it's time I started
being a big sister
that you and Derrick
really need right now.
- I missed you so much.
- I missed you too.
Imma just stay here for tonight.
I got a few extra weeks
I can take off to use
to help with mom's medical care.
- That's good 'cause it's
getting hard to take care of mom
with her being sick and all.
- I guess being a nurse
come in handy after all.
(Ivy chuckles)
- You got a bag?
I could go put it
in the guest room.
- Oh yeah, it's in my car.
- Okay, I could go
grab it for you.
I gotta go get my charger
out the car anyways.
- Okay, just make sure
you like my doors, girl.
- Whatever.
Can I throw your
jacket on real quick?
- Sure.
- Alright. (chuckles)
Ooh, I like this one.
I might have to
steal this. Mm-mm.
- Here we go already.
- Yeah, you got a
lot to catch up on.
(somber music)
We been down
this road before
We just didn't think that
we'd be here together
We been on our own before
(gun firing)
We just thought that
we would last forever
If I wasn't good enough
you should have said it
You the one who said
you wanted this forever
You went and got this ring
and got that shit embedded
Fuck this
So now you gotta sit there,
well, you gonna regret this
You gonna get the message
'Cause every time
you hit my line
It's gonna be disconnected
When you got love
and a happy home
- I'm so glad to be home.
- Who you telling?
Should've kept your
interest special
Fuck you and
your perspective
You gonna know
You alright?
You need anything?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just tired, I think
I'm gonna take a nap.
Gonna feel your burn
- Here, I gotta go
check on Christian.
His girlfriend just died.
- Oh my God.
What happened?
- I don't know.
Everybody calling,
screaming, yelling.
I'm about to go
figure it out now.
- That is so fucked up.
If love
- But do you need anything?
- No, I'm okay.
Oh, if I talk to Piper,
I need you to pick
my phone off them.
- Fuck that phone.
- Baby, you need to be nice.
I'm sure once I talk to Piper
she'll have a
logical explanation
of why she haven't
answered the phone.
And whether you like it or not,
Piper is Jalen's girlfriend
and I got a feeling she gonna
be around for a long time.
Just like a star
across my sky
- Yeah, I doubt that.
Just like an angel
- What you mean?
- Nothing, baby.
Don't worry about it.
Going to Mama house,
check on Christian.
I promise I'll be
right back. (kisses)
But I'm a rolling stone
With everything
except a home
Now I know the toll
for all the souls
- Damn, baby bro.
- It's fucked up, you know?
- Sorry about this shit.
What happened?
- Man, this shit crazy.
One minute we was on the phone
talking about our
plans for the weekend.
Then the next minute
her mama calling me
telling me she been shot.
- Shot?
Fuck she into to get shot?
(sinister music)
- Small world, huh?
(Christian sighs)
- [Jalen] What's going on, bro?
- Man, dog
- Bro, Christian girlfriend.
That's Piper little sister.
That's what I've
been trying to call
and tell you all this time.
- Yeah, I was fucked up, man.
Getting Destiny
together at the crib.
- Man, how's Dest doing anyway?
- She's fucked up.
I don't think she gonna
bounce back from this one.
- Been trying to stop
down there and see her
but all this shit with
Piper's sister, bro.
Just ain't been able
to make it for real.
- Man, who the fuck would do
my sister dirty like this?
- It makes you feel any better,
she talked about
you all the time.
I know y'all wasn't that
close for the last few years,
she still looked up to you.
- Actually, that only
make me feel worse.
I should have been a
much better big sister
while I had the time.
You know all I got is
regrets and memories.
- Shit, at least
you have memories.
- Hey, I gotta
get up outta here.
Me and my mom still
gotta finalize
some of Ivy's
funeral arrangements.
But you're more than
welcome to come, Christian.
- I'm good.
Just being there makes
this shit too hard.
And I ain't ready
for all that yet.
- That's understandable.
I keep you posted on the
arrangements, alright?
- Alright. Thank you.
- Man, let me walk you out.
(ominous music)
- Come on, bro, we
gotta get up outta here.
(Christian mumbles quietly)
- Trust me, it's gonna help
(Christian sighs)
(distant horn honking)
(Chantelle sobs)
- Mama, what's wrong?
Huh?
- Y'all didn't hear about
what happened to Khalil?
- Khalil?
(Chantelle sobs)
- Khalil?
You got bigger shit to
worry about than Khalil.
Ho-ass nigga.
- Carter, relax man.
- Relax?
She sitting here
crying about Khalil
like his ho-ass ain't get
Christian in that bullshit.
- Carter, shut the fuck up.
Khalil didn't have
nothing to do with that.
He paid the debt
for they dumb ass.
And again you don't know what
the fuck you talking about.
- Is anybody gonna
tell me what happened?
- Ask your brothers.
They know.
Ask them.
Tell your brother what happened.
- Ma, you tripping.
- Please, please tell me y'all
didn't kill y'all father.
Please.
- Father?
- [Chantelle] Yes.
- Our father?
- [Chantelle] Yes, your father.
Yes.
Since you know so damn much.
(sinister music)
- The fuck we just do?
(sinister music)
(knuckles knocking)
(knocking continues)
(ominous music)
(footsteps shuffling)
(door squeaking)
- [Security System] Front door.
- Hey girl, what you doing here?
I have something I think
you might need to see.
And please call me
if you need anything.
I mean it.
- Okay.
(ominous music)
(door squeaks)
(envelope rustling)
(sinister music)-
(fist smacking)
(Carter grunting)
(body thudding)
- [Carter] Fuck.
The fuck?
This what the fuck we on?
- Exactly what we on, nigga.
Nigga, you think I ain't know
you was fucking Piper all
this time behind my back?
- So you gonna kill me, bro?
Over a rat-bitch?
- It ain't even about that.
How would you feel if I was
fucking your bitch, nigga?
(ominous music)
- Where is Destiny?
Nigga, I don't give a
fuck what you do to me.
Leave her out of it.
She ain't got shit
to do with this.
That's where you wrong, bro.
Nigga, Destiny got
everything to do with this.
(tense music)
- The fuck?
So what, y'all fucking?
(sinister music)
(Jalen laughs)
- I'm gonna let her tell you.
- Did you think you
was the only one
keeping secrets around
this motherfucker?
See, me and your brother
keep a few secrets too.
- Mm.
- Bitch, stop playing with me.
- Boy, ain't nobody
playing but you.
See, I thought after
I planted that work
that I found stashed in
the house in your car
then reporting the car stolen
would get your ass locked up.
But I see that ain't go
according as planned.
- You dirty bitch.
So, you the reason Christian
almost got locked up?
- Dirty?
You got your nerve
calling me dirty
after all the shit you done did.

for fucking your girl.
But did you not hear what
the fuck she just said?
- Nigga, I ain't
know shit about that.
- You do now, nigga!
- Fuck Christian going to jail.
At least he ain't have to
die like my baby had to
behind your bullshit.
Your bitch is the reason
why I lost my baby.
- You don't think
that shit hurt me?
That was my seed too.
- No it wasn't.
- The fuck you just say?
- You heard me.
The child that I lost
wasn't your baby.
You see, this whole time
he thought he was
about to be a daddy,
when you were about to
be an uncle. (cackles)
- Bitch, you lying.
- [Destiny] Am I?
Am I?
Tell him, baby,
- Uh-huh.
- Tell your brother that you
were the father of my child.
- That's true.
- So this is the
type of motherfucker

She do this shit to me, nigga,

You know what, I ain't even

(gun firing)
(body thudding)
Goddam, bro, you scared

Y'all can't do shit

You know, money over bitches.
- So I'm a bitch now?
- (chuckles) Yeah, my bitch.
- Man, fuck you, Carter.

Huh, go pick up Destiny.
Y'all have a spa day on me.
- You do know money isn't the
answer to everything, right?
- Shit, I ain't ran into a
problem it couldn't fix yet.
(shower starting)
- This...
(distant horns honking)
- [Jalen] What's the deal, bro?
- It's good, bro.
Shit, I can't call it.
- Hey, when was the last time

Why?
- You know he got

His little ass act like

I'm gonna have to sit

- That ain't even it.
But shit, I basically am.
You know, Mama

- [Jalen] Bro.
Ain't nobody perfect, man.
- I forgot, I can't say
shit about your mama
without you coming
with an excuse.
- [Jalen] Bro, I'm
not making excuses,
I'm just saying,
we all done make
some fucked up decisions, bro.
- Yeah, fucked up decisions
turn into bad choices.
Choices you gotta stand on, bro.
Come on.
(door shutting)

- Babe, I'm not saying

All I'm saying,
I know you don't like
spending your own money.
That's why you always
spending my shit.
- [Piper] Well, technically
the money I spent today
wasn't exactly outta my pocket.
It was from an unexpected bonus
from putting in some
extra hours on the job.
- That right?
- [Destiny] Extra hours?
Since when did you
start putting in
extra hours at the hospital.
Before I went on maternity leave
we couldn't get you
to do a regular shift.
- Well, Miss Mamas, between
you being on maternity leave
and a few nurses transferring,
shit, we just been
short staffed.
- I do miss my job,
but between this baby
and standing on my
feet 10, 12 hours,
I just could not do
it, I be tired like.
- Yeah, I feel you, trust me.
But you ain't missing shit.
It's still a bunch of
hating goofy-ass hoes
sitting around
gossiping all day.

gossiping with 'em.
Every time.
- Shut up. (chuckles)
- Well, that's why I'm happy
my man make sure I'm straight
whether I'm working or not.
- Yeah, you definitely lucked
up and got you a good one.
- And you didn't?
- Of course I did,
baby. Come on.
- I'm about to go to Mama house,

- He and the rest of
his theory though.
- [Jalen] About to follow

- Alright, bet.
Hey, I ain't finna

(door clunking)
- Man, what the

Excuse me, ma'am, can

(Carter laughs)
- Fuck you talking about?
- Nah, bro, this nigga tripping.
You going to school,

- Are you my fucking daddy?
I'm grown as fuck now.
So all of them days of

It's over, nigga.
(Carter scoffs)
- Yeah?

- Back the fuck.
- What you push me for?
- You okay, baby?
- [Christian] Yeah.
- Fuck is wrong with you?
Putting your hands

- Maybe if you stay
out the streets,
you know what the fuck
going on with your son.
(palm slapping)
- Who the fuck
you talking to, nigga?
- Ma, chill.
Man, Carter had every right
to put his hands on Christian.
- Ain't no damn
reason good enough
to put your hands
on your brother.
I raised y'all better than that.
(Carter scoffs)
- [Carter] Raised us?
You was barely around.
- Bro, let that shit go, bro.
- Nah, bro, let your
mama hear about herself
since she thinks she perfect.
- You got something to say?
You got something you
wanna get off your chest?
Speak on it, son.
- Yeah, ma, you wasn't
around like that.
You didn't give a fuck
about what we was doing.
All you ever cared
about was yourself.
- [Chantelle] Myself?
- Yourself!
And the niggas you was
chasing around every week.
You didn't give a fuck less
about what we had going on.
- Myself and them
niggas you talking about
is the reason y'all
had name brand shit.
Good shit!
And I ain't hear
not one complaint
when y'all was
rocking that shit.
So don't say shit now.
You and your brothers
ain't never went without.
- Yeah, we went without.
Without having a mom around.
Bro, I'm gone.
- Good.
(Jalen sighs)
- All this bullshit.
- Anybody gonna tell me
what the fuck going on?
(door shutting)
- Ma, Imma let
your son tell you.
(suspenseful music)
- I'm listening.
(suspenseful music)
(faint hip-hop music plays)
- [Jalen] So you done
put your butts on,
Mama'll smack the shit out you.
- (chuckles) Ha ha.
Nigga, fuck you.
- Hey bro, but you
was wrong as hell
for crushing Christian
mama feelings like that.
- I wasn't trying to
crush her feelings.
It was about time I let
her know how I feel.
How the fuck she don't know
Christian talking about
not going to school.
- Nigga, the same
way we ain't know.
And we with him every day.
(Carter sighs)
All I'm saying, bro.
It's less shit on her,
and we gotta at least
let little bro up.
- I ain't trying
to hear shit out.
Less he talking about
getting that dorm together.
- Bro, look man, I
love you and all,
but you really gotta
chill on little bro.
- What the fuck is
you trying to say?
- Man, all I'm saying is
that's not your son, bro.
Your kid on the way.
- Man, fuck this shit.
I'm out.
Bitch gonna play that tune
- You got a fucking
attitude problem.
- [Carter] Fuck you.
- Bitch.
(door slamming)
(faint hip-hop music plays)
(birds singing)
(distant dog barking)
- What's up, Domone.
- What's up, my baby?
Shit, I just grabbed
some of that fire
from them niggas over
there on Linwood.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, you got a wood?
- Hell yeah.
- Let me get that up off you.
- Here, huh.
Like, get that shit
outta my pocket.
- Nigga, what the fuck
happened to your eye?
- Family shit.

Which one of your brothers
done whipped up on
your ass this time?
- Nigga, fuck you.
- What happened
though, for real, dog?
- Shit man, I finally told
'em I wasn't going to school.
- They beat your ass for that?
Nigga, you better get you a
pistol round this bitch, boy.
- For my brothers?
- Nigga, hell yeah.
Them niggas don't
mind fucking you up.
- Nah, bro, it ain't
nothing like that.
See, Carter
practically raised me.
He just don't want me to
be another street nigga.
- Nigga, your smart-ass do
need to be in somebody college
done talking like that.
- I ain't say I wasn't going,
I just don't wanna go right now.
But in the meantime
I gotta figure out
how to make this money so I
ain't gotta ask Carter for shit.
- Hey, my brother Blaze can
put you on with some work.
- Hell no.
You know Blaze and Mom
Duke's nigga Khalil cool.
If Khalil found out I was
moving weight he'd kill me.
Then tell Mom so
she'll kill me again.
- Dude, you so fucking scary.
Blaze ain't gonna tell
Khalil shit, nigga.
That's your move.
Ain't got shit to do with him.
You ain't 10 years old no more.
You gotta get off your ass,
nigga, strap your nuts on.
Can't depend on your
brothers forever, nigga.
- I feel you.
- So you ready to get
this money or what?
- Hell yeah.
- Imma take you over there.
- Yeah.
(TV characters speaking)
- Oh, I'll be back
- Where your ass going?
- To my mother's house.
Is that okay, Daddy?
- Man, you love running
the streets, don't you?
- (scoffs) Hold on.
I know your ass not saying shit
about nobody being
in the streets.
As much as your ass let
us stay gone with Carter
- Bro, me and Carter grown men.
We handle business.
Something you might not about.
But your ass need to
be around this bitch
cooking or cleaning
or something.
(Piper giggles)
- Wait.
Does your mama stay around the
house cooking and cleaning?
- Better watch your
motherfucking mouth.
- Exactly.
Like I said, I won't
be out too late.
Would you like some food
on my way home, sweetie?
- Nah, I order out some shit.
- Mm, suit yourself.
(door clunking)
(door slamming)
(mellow R&B music)

Let's do this when I'm sober
- Yo?

- Yeah, you know Imma have to.
I'm trying to see if Destiny

Piper's slick-mouth ass with me.
Hey man, that bitch

No can cut the fuck off.
- Shit, you need to get that
shit under control, bro.
Before that shit get outta hand.
- [Jalen] Yeah, I here you.

Get caught up

So let's do this

Let's do this
when I sober up
- You sure you can't
stay for the barbecue?
- No, I already told my mama
that I was gonna have
her car to her by three
so she can make it
to work on time.
- I can follow you
to drop her off
and you can come back with me.
- No babe, it's okay.
And plus, I'm not ready to pass
the potato saddle
across the table.
Your brother's
just seen me naked.
(Christian laughs)
- At least the hands
are looking good.
- Whatever. You
are something else.
Imma call you when
I make it home.
- Alright, my babe.
(door clunking)
Hey, Ma.
- Go take this somewhere safe.
- Alright.
- My Ma.
What's up, Ma?
- Hey Jalen, how you doing?
- I'm alright.
- Hey, Chantelle.
- What just happened?
- Mom, be nice.
Ain't you got it smelling
good. What you doing?
- Get out.
Don't put your hands in
my pot until you wash.
And don't play with me.
You know I ain't one
of these young-ass hoes
that don't know how to make
nothing but Chicken Alfredo.
I can cook. I just
do it when I want to.
- And so do I.
- Come on y'all.
Can we have a good family
event today, please?
- Absolutely.
The family can.
- Hey, can you make us
some plates so we can eat?
(door clunking)
- Damn, Ma, you got it
smelling good as hell in here.
- Hey, everybody.
- Hey, how y'all doing?
- Hey, girl.
- Hey, hun.
Ooh, look at you.
How my grandbaby doing?
- Besides your grandbaby
thinking it's cute
to keep me up all night
kicking, we're good.
- Starting already, hm.
Oh, before I forget,
I got your cobbler.
Made it just how you like
it, with the extra crust?
- Yes, that sounds
like you love me.
How you know I was
craving sweets?
- [Chantelle] Girl,
I went through
the same thing with Carter.
Ain't nothing sweet
about him now.
(both laughing)
- [Carter] Dang.
- That's all.
I'm taking it home and putting
it right in refrigerator.
For me.
- Jalen, are you ready to go?
Or you expecting me to sit here
and hold these plates all day?
- Man, come on.
- I'll be glad when
he see that bitch
for the conniving ho she is.
She can't fool me.
- Mom, be nice.
Piper can be a little bitchy,
but she really is cool
once you get to know her.
- Cool my ass.
I wouldn't trust that bitch
as far as I can throw her.
(Carter laughs)
And all that fake-ass
ass she carrying around,
that wouldn't be very far.
- Ma, how you know her ass fake?
- [Chantelle] Because
it don't move.
Am I lying?
- [Carter] You crazy.
You need some help?
- Yeah, here baby.
- Get this for you.
Now we about to go up in here.

I'll be in there shortly.
- My, it's crazy.

Just like your ass did.
Same results.
All niggas gonna know

- Talking crazy.
- Nigga needed to jump your ass.
- [Carter] Hell yeah.
- (chuckles) Y'all can relax
because ain't nobody jumping
my men at this table.
- Calm down, killer.
These niggas know what's up.
- [Jalen] Yeah.
(Carter laughs)
- Huh, bro.
- What's this for?
- Shit, it's on me.
Go ahead and do
what you need to do.
- Sure, I will.
- Look at your
spoiled ass, nigga.
- You act like you ain't
been around forever.
You little bro too.
- This is some real shit, dog,
but I can't take this, bro.
Nigga, this is handout.
I'm like your little brother
but I ain't your little brother.
This a handout, bro, I can't.
I gotta get off
my ass and get it.
- Shit, I'll have it.
(all laugh)
- I can't do nothing
but respect that.
Shit, if you ever need
anything let me know.
We family, nigga.

You know better than that.

(ominous music)
- This is my
motherfucking house.
Khalil is my guest and

You understand me?
- I ain't respecting no
nigga that don't pay bills.
- [Chantelle] You know what?
I'm getting real
motherfucking tired
of your disrespectful-ass
attitude.
This is my shit,
and he can lay up in this
motherfucker when he wants to.
You don't run shit.
- Tell him to pay a bill then.
- Ain't a problem, playboy.
- It shouldn't be.
Man, you've been around
forever for free.
- I did a lot of shit
around this motherfucker
too, little nigga.
I ain't gotta go around
broadcasting every little
move I make. You hear me?
- What you saying?
- You gotta take you and your
disrespectful-ass attitude
and leave now.
- Come on Destiny, let's go.
- Carter, calm down.
- I said let's go.
(ominous music)
- I'm sorry, Ma.
- It ain't your fault, baby.
It's mine for letting Carter
think he can run around
this motherfucker talking
crazy to everybody
'cause he pay a few bills.
That shit gonna stop today.
- Alright, I'll call you later.
- Don't forget your cobbler.
It's on the table right there.
- [Destiny] Okay.
(door clunking)
- Okay, everybody,
it's time to go.
I ain't in the mood
for this shit no more.
(Piper clears throat)
- Well good because I was
ready to leave anyway.
- We'll be home, bro.
We got some shit.
Put some on the floor, okay.
- Man,
- Okay.
- Shit, let me know, bro.
(guests muttering)
(slow somber R&B music)
- So have you talked
to Christian about
what he going to do?
Is he going to
college or something?
- I don't know.
- Ain't that something
you can talk to him about?
- Damn, he just graduated
three weeks ago.
Can he have a minute
to breathe and think?
- Fuck no, not if that
little nigga gotta eat.
It's time for you
to let him grow up
and become a man, Telle.
- He good for now. That's
what he got us for.
Imma ignore the pressure
- I fuck with you
on Christian heavy.
Not to mention that
pussy hitting good
than a motherfucker.
Ain't no pussy
good enough for me
to take care of a
grown-ass man, baby.
That ain't gonna happen.
- You act like you
ain't been around
my kids their whole life.
- I sat here and watched these
little niggas run around,
do whatever the fuck
they wanted to do.
While you ripping and
running the streets,
chase behind motherfuckers.
(slow somber R&B music)
- Are you forgetting
when I was ripping and
running the streets
I was with your ass
most of the time, nigga?
Did you forget that?
- I ain't forget.
But it was some not most.
That's the only reason
why I ain't fought Carter
and blow this up into something.
Baby won't do what I want
- You know what?
Watch your mouth and watch
how you speak on my son.
Carter talks shit, he do.
But he love his brother,
and he ain't gonna see
him out here fucked up.
That I know
- That's what your problem is.
Give these little niggas
too much credit, babe.
- No, I gave your ass too
much credit apparently.
See yourself out.
(slow somber R&B music)
I can't believe I stayed
- That be fucked up.
That's why these little
niggas run over your ass.
- Lock my door.
Lazy-ass.
(door clunking)
(chilled R&B music)
- [Domone] Come on, bro.
- [Christian] Man, sound.
- [Blaze] Domone,
what's the word?
- Shit, what's up?
- Chilling, dog.
- Lemme holler at my
brother real quick.
- You remember my nigga
Christian, don't you?
- Yeah. What up?
- What up, dog?
- [Domone] Hey, we
need to holler at you
about something though.
- Shit, what's up?
- Yeah, I know you
hate the small talk
so I'm gonna get
straight to the shit.
My nigga trying to get
put onto some work.
- You ever saw work before?
- A little weed here and
there in high school.
- This nigga talking
about a little weed
here and there in high school.
This ain't no nickels
and dimes, my boy.
- He straight though. He good.
(chilled R&B music)
- Come here, baby.
(chilled R&B music)
- Straight.
(chilled R&B music)
- Blood or not,
this nigga fuck that bag up,
Mama gonna be getting
that black dress ready.
And I'm killing
both of you niggas.
(chilled R&B music)
(distant horns honking)
- What? What are you doing here?
- Being that you won't
return any of my calls,
the only way that I could
talk to my own damn daughter
is to pop up at your job.
- Wait, I know you
ain't coming to my job
acting all ghetto and shit.
- Ghetto?
(ominous music)
Listen, bitch.
Kill the uppity act, okay,
because I know for real.
Hell, the only reason you
even got this damn job
is because you were sucking
the professor's dick, uh-huh.
All during nursing school
just to get passing grades
while living in my
house rent free.
- Are you forgetting these
the same dick-sucking skills
that kept food on the
table and clothes on me,
my brother and my sister back.
- As you should.
- It was your slutty-ass
allegations that
ran my man away.
- Your man?
Your man was raping me
every chance that he got.
. Bitch, stop lying.
You been fucking since
you was 12 years old.
Ain't nobody rape you.
(scoffs) You were fucking
him at your own free will.
- You are sick.
- (cackles) Come on.
Are you forgetting
that I caught you sucking
his dick like a porn star.
- Only after he threatened
to start raping my
sister if I didn't.
See, this is the exact
reason why I left
and never looked back.
- No, you left and
you didn't look back
because you a selfish-ass bitch.
- Selfish?
I'm the same bitch
that sent money
to my brother and
sister every month.
Girl, them crumbs ain't shit.
What they need is a relationship
with their damn sister.
I might not see them
as much as I would like
but we talk on the
phone all of the time.
And just because you
don't see our relationship
damn sure don't mean
we ain't got one.
(ominous music)
- Look, I just found out that
I have stage four cancer.
So I'm not gonna live
that long. Alight?
(somber piano music)
And you gonna be all
that they have left.
And although that
really ain't shit
it's better than nothing.
(somber piano music)
(siren blares)
- [Eric] Fuck, man.
- [Christian] These
niggas always know
how to fuck up a good night.
- [Eric] Just chill, bro.
Don't say nothing,
bro, just chill.
- [Christian] Watch this shit.
- [Eric] Bro, chill,
just be smooth.
- [Christian] I'm
chilling, bitch.
(ominous music)
- Good evening, gentleman.
- [Christian] How you doing?
- You know why I
stopped you today?
- [Christian] No, but
I hope for your sake
it's a constitutional reason
'cause I know my rights.
- [Eric] Constitutional rights?
What you know about commissary?
- License and registration,
proof of insurance.
(ominous music)
- [Christian] Here
you go, Mr. Officer.
- Anything illegal in the
car I need to know about?
- [Christian] No sir.
- Alright, hang tight,
I'll be right back.
- [Christian] Do
I have a choice?
- [Eric] Nigga, what the
fuck you getting so sarcastic
with them police like that for.
- [Christian] Man, chill out.
When the cops know
you up on your shit,
they be scared to fuck with you.
Last thing they want is a
fucking lawsuit on their hands.
- [Eric] Then tell
that to them niggas
who ass they be beating
every day, nigga.
They'll fuck us up out here.
- [Christian] Chill out.
My license good.
And my brother keep his
shit squeaky clean, nigga.
So we good, you hear me?
- [Eric] These niggas'll fuck

- [Christian] Shut up, man.

(police radio crackling)
You're like a bitch.
- [Eric] Don't move too fast.
- Alright boys,

- [Christian] For what?
- Look, this car
was reported stolen,
so I need you to

(dramatic music)
- [Eric] Stolen?

(police radio chattering)
(cuffs clinking)
(ominous music)
(police radio chattering)
(ominous music)
(door clunking)

- Nigga, I'm telling you.
I don't know how that

- So what now, Mr.
Constitutional fucking rights?
- Oh, hm.
(officer sighs)
- They going down.
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(footsteps approaching)
- Khalil, get up,
it's time to go.
- What? What's going on?
- Family shit, aight.
I'll hit you up later.
- You want me to go with you?
- Hell no.
Not 'til I figure out what's
going on with Christian.
The last thing I need is
you and Carter into it
'cause you with me, mm-mm.
- That ain't even about that.
You done roll with a nigga
through a lot of shit, huh.
- Because that's
what real bitches do.
But where's all
this coming from?
I hope you ain't giving
me this mushy-ass speech
'cause you don't how the
money I asked you for.
- (chuckles) And that's the shit
I'm talking about right there.
You're ass too old for all
this gold digging shit.
That shit play.
- Y'all niggas kill me.
Y'all wanna fuck
on a bitch all day,
lay up in our house
all night for free.
How the fuck does that work?
- I ain't never been
no tight-ass nigga.
I blew a bag on you, baby.
But I just wanna make sure
you was the right one.
And that you are.
- So what you trying to say?
- I know you think I make all
this money off the streets
but a nigga done ran up a check
fucking with that
real estate shit.
It's time for us to get
the fuck up outta here.
- Where?
Where Khalil?
Where?
- We just need to get the
fuck up outta here, baby.
I-I mean, ain't you tired
of running behind Carter
and, and all that bullshit?
And dealing with all
these ho-ass niggas
just to pay your bills.
- What Imma do with Christian?
I can't just leave him.
- You can bring him with us.
I got a five bedroom
crib down there in Texas.
I show him the real estate game
and so he can make
his own money legally.
Ain't gotta deal with
all this bullshit.
- Alright, let me go
handle the situation
and we'll talk about it, okay?
Okay.
- I hope to be
hearing from you soon.
- You will, I'm
gonna call you later.
(somber music)
(ominous music)
(phone ringing)
- Yeah Ma, what's going on?
- [Chantelle] Carter, get up.
Need you and Jalen to meet
me at the police station.
- Calm down. What's going on?
- [Chantelle] Your brother
got his ass into trouble.
- Alright, I'm on my way.
- I'm going too.
- No, stay your ass here.
I'll call you when
I get down there.
- Alright.
You don't start.
(ominous music)
(phone ringing)

- Arrested? For what?
(phone ringing)
- I don't know.
I'm waiting on him to

- Can't be nothing too serious.
Christian ain't into no shit.
(phone ringing)
- Well, something happened.
His ass locked up.
(message alert dinging)
- Who is that blowing you
up this time of night?
- Destiny ass probably worried
about what's going
on with Christian.
- Ma'am?
- Yes, yes.
- So your son will be released
pending further investigation.
- Pending further investigation?
What the fuck y'all
lock him up for anyway?
- Sir, I need you
to lower your voice.
Now, I can't give out
no more information.
That's all I can give you.
- (sighs) Man.
- I'll be right back.
- This is bullshit.
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, I need you to put
your ear to the street.
Something's going
on with Christian.
And I'd like to find out what.
(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(phone ringing)
(Destiny groans)
(phone ringing)
- Come on.
Why's he not

(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(pages rustling)
(sinister music)
(Destiny groans)
(sinister music)
- Hey, what the fuck

- Man, you gotta talk to
Christian about that shit.
- Nigga, I'm talking to you.

- Nigga, we got fronted some
work and the shit went bad.
That's what happened.
- Some work?

Who the fuck gave

(ominous piano music)
- Khalil, man.
- Khalil?
- Carter, you go on
and check on Destiny.
I'm gonna wait on
Christian, okay.
- You sure?
- Yeah, they let Eric out.
Christian shouldn't
be too much longer.
- Alright, keep me posted.
(ominous piano music)
- What the fuck is wrong
with you, Christian?
Selling drugs, really?
- I was just trying
to make a few dollars.
I can't depend on Carter.
Shit, you shouldn't either.
- Now you gonna disrespect
me sitting in my car
just like your fucking brother.
(ominous music)
I know you hear
me talking to you.
(message alert chimes)
Don't ignore me.
- Fuck, man.
- Christian, have you
lost your damn mind?
- Ma.
- What?
- I'm in trouble.
- What kinda trouble?
- Like life or death.
Literally.
(ominous music)
- Hey girl, you came to visit.
Let me find out you
missing us already.
- I think I'm going
into labor early.
- What?
Where is Carter?
- I don't know.
Something happened to Christian.
He left the house
about a hour ago.
I keep calling his phone
but it's going
straight to voicemail.
- Okay.
Uh, Danielle, please
take her to room four.
I'll page Dr. Green ASAP.
- Come on, Destiny.
Let's get you settled
into a hospital gown.
Okay babe?
Wait, gimme your phone.
I'll keep trying to call
Carter and see what's going on.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- No problem at all, right.
(somber music)
(machines beeping)
- Hey, how's her vitals?
- Um, everything looks good.
Her blood pressure is a
little on the high side.
Nothing to worry too
much about, okay.
I'm sure it's just
because of the pain, um,
but I'll go to double
check to see if we can
get her something
for the pain. Okay?
- Okay.
Dr. Green should
be here shortly.
She was finishing a labor and
delivery when I paged her.
- [Danielle] Okay,
well perfect then.
I'll be back in a second.
I have to run and check on
a few other patients, okay?
- Okay, thank you.
- [Danielle] Okay.
- Did you talk to Carter yet?
- No, but he should
be here soon.
- He better be.
I'm gonna be so mad at him
if he missed the
birth of our child.
- He won't. Don't worry.
- Come take this IV off me.
I gotta use the bathroom.
- Now, you know you should
not be getting outta bed
until the doctor examine you.
- Hey, but I'm going
to the bathroom,
not the grocery store.
Hurry up.
- [Piper] Okay.
(machines beeping)
- Thank you.
Ooh.
And check with Danielle
about my pain medicine.
- Okay.
(ominous piano music)
- Whoa, thanks.
(Destiny groans)
(ominous music)
- [Danielle] I'm back.
Here you go.
- Thank you so much.
- It's only aspirin so
it might not help much
but, hey, it's better
than nothing, right?
- Girl, I would take
anything right now.
- Okay.
I'll take that.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Let's get you hooked
back up to your IV.
(ominous music)
- Hey, where did Piper go?
- She'll be back shortly.
But you get some rest
until the doctor gets here.
- Tell that to this
baby that's trying
to make his grand
entrance today.
(Danielle chuckles)
- [Danielle] Okay, I'll be back
and you know to
hit the call button
if you need anything, okay?
- Yes, alright.
Thank you again.
- [Danielle] Of course.
(machines beeping)
(chilled R&B music)
- Long time, no see.
- My nigga, Khalil.
What's going on with you man?
- What's been up, my nigga.
- Shit, same old
shit, man, same ol'.
- Yeah.
What bring to my
neck of the woods?
(chilled R&B music)
- I hear my girl's son
owe you a little tag.
- [Brody] 10 K.
I got some shit for
you to sift through
I know I wasn't perfect but
you really gonna kill me
Been a long ways not to
(cash slapping)
Mm-mm.
Five extra K for late fees.
When the world was
trying to kill me
- Trying to wax me up?
- You know how this shit go.
- That's another 10, dog.
Don't front that little
nigga no work no more.
Next time I come to you,
ain't gonna be to get caught
up on the old times, Brody.
(pensive piano music)
(ominous music)
- Yeah, that pussy must be
gooder than a motherfucker.
(Brody laughs)
- Yeah, so you know I took care
of that business for you, right?
So you think about
what we talked about?
Sounds like you need
to be packing there.
(lid clunking)
(bag thudding)
(dramatic music)
(gun firing)
(machines beeping)
(Destiny groaning)
- Nurse!
- Destiny, what's,
what's going on?
What's wrong?
- I don't know.
- What's..?
(Destiny groans)
I need a doctor in here.
Now!
I just need you
to breathe, okay?
- What the hell happened?
- I gave her the two
aspirin about an hour ago
like you instructed me to.
30 minutes ago she was
just fine, I swear.
Dest, just breathe, babe.
Just breathe.
- [Dr. Green]
Destiny, stay calm.
It's okay.
We're gonna figure
out what's going on.
Listen to me, Destiny.
I know you don't want
to hear this right now,
but if you wanna save your baby,
we gotta deliver her right now.
- No, I can't.
Daddy's not here.
- [Danielle] I'm here,
I'm here with you, okay.
- [Dr. Green] Unfortunately
you don't have another option.
I'll be right back.
- [Danielle] Everything's
gonna be fine.
You don't have to
do this alone, okay.
Just breathe with me, okay.
Breathe. Breathe.
Everything's gonna be fine.
(somber music)
I thought it was right
Everything that I
had inside my mind
Yeah, it felt so good
Walking next to you
You said you liked me too
Words I thought were true
Yeah, it felt so good
Sometimes I wonder why
We were something
'cause we're nothing
Your heartbeat
Everything felt so right
for such a long time
Ah
(melancholy piano music)
- (crying) She died.
- What?
- (crying) Our baby died.
(Destiny bawls)
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny whimpers)
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny sobs)
Careful.
(melancholy piano music)
(Destiny bawls)
No.
- I'm sorry, but I
have to take her now.
- Wait, what?
- (whispering) I'm sorry,
(Destiny sobs)
- Our baby.
- [Danielle] I'm so sorry
for your loss, Destiny.
(Destiny sobs)
- Where were you?
Where were you?
- I told you I had to take care
of some stuff for Christian.
- And that was more
important than being here
for me and your baby.
- Baby, when I left the house,
you was doing perfectly fine.
What happened from then to now?
- So none of my missed calls
alerted you that something
was wrong with me?
- Missed calls?
I don't have any missed calls.
If I would've never
stopped at the house
and looked at the
letter you left me
I wouldn't even know
you was up here.
- Carter, stop lying.
Piper told me she called you.
- Dest, I'm not lying.
I have no missed calls.
(ominous music)
- What?
That's weird.
- [Carter] Where's
your phone at?
- Piper got it still
- Piper got it?
Okay, where's Piper at?
Why would she leave
you here by yourself?
- I don't know.
Everything happened so fast.
Let me see your phone
so I can see if I can
check the location.
(machines beeping)
(ominous music)
(Destiny whimpers)
what?
Why is Piper downtown?
- Downtown?
What the fuck?
- She at least could
have left my phone here.
- Fuck that bitch.
That's the last thing
you need to be worried
about right now.
(ominous music)
- [Danielle] Oh Destiny.
So I do have to get some blood
so that we can run
a few tests. Okay?
(ominous music)
(Destiny whimpers)
(machines beeping)
(sinister music)
(melancholy music)
(Destiny whimpers)
Just...
That's good.
Um, I'll just run this down
so that we can go ahead
and run the lips and
everything, okay?
- Okay.
(melancholy music)
- Okay.
Alright Jess.
I'm about to go to the house,
grab your bag for the night.
Do you need anything?
You sure?
Okay, I promise I'm gonna
be right back. Alright?
(ominous music)
Hey, Danielle.
- Hey Carter, did
you need something?
- Yeah, what happened
with Destiny earlier?
- Listen, I'm just as
confused as you are.
She came in saying that she was
having slight stomach pains,
but that's nothing abnormal
for her stage of pregnancy.
- So nothing out the norm?
- No, I checked
all of her vitals
and everything looked good.
I mean, her blood
pressure was a little high
but nothing alarming.
And when I left outta
the hospital room,
her and Piper was
talking and laughing
and everything seemed fine.
- Piper?
- Piper was treating her?
- Er, yeah, she is
on duty tonight.
- Where's she at now?
- Hm, that's a good question.
I thought she was on lunch
but she should've
been back by now.
- Excuse me, nurse.
- Yes. Hi.
- Talk to you later.
- Did you get a chance to get
Ms. Wilson's blood samples?
- [Danielle] I did, I actually
have the samples right here.
- Can you send those over to
the lab as soon as possible.
- [Danielle] Okay.
- [Dr. Green] And can you
please have them checked
for anything out
of the ordinary?
- I'll get right on it.
- Thank you so much.
Something in my
gut is telling me
something's not
alright about this.
(ominous music)
- So it took me
being on my deathbed
to finally get you here, huh?
(ominous music)
- The point is I'm here now.
I'm not about to keep
punishing my brother and sister
for your mistakes.
- Piper, I'm sorry.
He confessed and he told
me what he did to you.
And I should have believed you.
- We here now, Ma.
It's time to just focus
on you getting better.
I'm so sorry.
- [Ivy] Oh my God, Piper.
- Sis.
- I can't believe you here.
- Me neither.
But it's time I started
being a big sister
that you and Derrick
really need right now.
- I missed you so much.
- I missed you too.
Imma just stay here for tonight.
I got a few extra weeks
I can take off to use
to help with mom's medical care.
- That's good 'cause it's
getting hard to take care of mom
with her being sick and all.
- I guess being a nurse
come in handy after all.
(Ivy chuckles)
- You got a bag?
I could go put it
in the guest room.
- Oh yeah, it's in my car.
- Okay, I could go
grab it for you.
I gotta go get my charger
out the car anyways.
- Okay, just make sure
you like my doors, girl.
- Whatever.
Can I throw your
jacket on real quick?
- Sure.
- Alright. (chuckles)
Ooh, I like this one.
I might have to
steal this. Mm-mm.
- Here we go already.
- Yeah, you got a
lot to catch up on.
(somber music)
We been down
this road before
We just didn't think that
we'd be here together
We been on our own before
(gun firing)
We just thought that
we would last forever
If I wasn't good enough
you should have said it
You the one who said
you wanted this forever
You went and got this ring
and got that shit embedded
Fuck this
So now you gotta sit there,
well, you gonna regret this
You gonna get the message
'Cause every time
you hit my line
It's gonna be disconnected
When you got love
and a happy home
- I'm so glad to be home.
- Who you telling?
Should've kept your
interest special
Fuck you and
your perspective
You gonna know
You alright?
You need anything?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just tired, I think
I'm gonna take a nap.
Gonna feel your burn
- Here, I gotta go
check on Christian.
His girlfriend just died.
- Oh my God.
What happened?
- I don't know.
Everybody calling,
screaming, yelling.
I'm about to go
figure it out now.
- That is so fucked up.
If love
- But do you need anything?
- No, I'm okay.
Oh, if I talk to Piper,
I need you to pick
my phone off them.
- Fuck that phone.
- Baby, you need to be nice.
I'm sure once I talk to Piper
she'll have a
logical explanation
of why she haven't
answered the phone.
And whether you like it or not,
Piper is Jalen's girlfriend
and I got a feeling she gonna
be around for a long time.
Just like a star
across my sky
- Yeah, I doubt that.
Just like an angel
- What you mean?
- Nothing, baby.
Don't worry about it.
Going to Mama house,
check on Christian.
I promise I'll be
right back. (kisses)
But I'm a rolling stone
With everything
except a home
Now I know the toll
for all the souls
- Damn, baby bro.
- It's fucked up, you know?
- Sorry about this shit.
What happened?
- Man, this shit crazy.
One minute we was on the phone
talking about our
plans for the weekend.
Then the next minute
her mama calling me
telling me she been shot.
- Shot?
Fuck she into to get shot?
(sinister music)
- Small world, huh?
(Christian sighs)
- [Jalen] What's going on, bro?
- Man, dog
- Bro, Christian girlfriend.
That's Piper little sister.
That's what I've
been trying to call
and tell you all this time.
- Yeah, I was fucked up, man.
Getting Destiny
together at the crib.
- Man, how's Dest doing anyway?
- She's fucked up.
I don't think she gonna
bounce back from this one.
- Been trying to stop
down there and see her
but all this shit with
Piper's sister, bro.
Just ain't been able
to make it for real.
- Man, who the fuck would do
my sister dirty like this?
- It makes you feel any better,
she talked about
you all the time.
I know y'all wasn't that
close for the last few years,
she still looked up to you.
- Actually, that only
make me feel worse.
I should have been a
much better big sister
while I had the time.
You know all I got is
regrets and memories.
- Shit, at least
you have memories.
- Hey, I gotta
get up outta here.
Me and my mom still
gotta finalize
some of Ivy's
funeral arrangements.
But you're more than
welcome to come, Christian.
- I'm good.
Just being there makes
this shit too hard.
And I ain't ready
for all that yet.
- That's understandable.
I keep you posted on the
arrangements, alright?
- Alright. Thank you.
- Man, let me walk you out.
(ominous music)
- Come on, bro, we
gotta get up outta here.
(Christian mumbles quietly)
- Trust me, it's gonna help
(Christian sighs)
(distant horn honking)
(Chantelle sobs)
- Mama, what's wrong?
Huh?
- Y'all didn't hear about
what happened to Khalil?
- Khalil?
(Chantelle sobs)
- Khalil?
You got bigger shit to
worry about than Khalil.
Ho-ass nigga.
- Carter, relax man.
- Relax?
She sitting here
crying about Khalil
like his ho-ass ain't get
Christian in that bullshit.
- Carter, shut the fuck up.
Khalil didn't have
nothing to do with that.
He paid the debt
for they dumb ass.
And again you don't know what
the fuck you talking about.
- Is anybody gonna
tell me what happened?
- Ask your brothers.
They know.
Ask them.
Tell your brother what happened.
- Ma, you tripping.
- Please, please tell me y'all
didn't kill y'all father.
Please.
- Father?
- [Chantelle] Yes.
- Our father?
- [Chantelle] Yes, your father.
Yes.
Since you know so damn much.
(sinister music)
- The fuck we just do?
(sinister music)
(knuckles knocking)
(knocking continues)
(ominous music)
(footsteps shuffling)
(door squeaking)
- [Security System] Front door.
- Hey girl, what you doing here?
I have something I think
you might need to see.
And please call me
if you need anything.
I mean it.
- Okay.
(ominous music)
(door squeaks)
(envelope rustling)
(sinister music)-
(fist smacking)
(Carter grunting)
(body thudding)
- [Carter] Fuck.
The fuck?
This what the fuck we on?
- Exactly what we on, nigga.
Nigga, you think I ain't know
you was fucking Piper all
this time behind my back?
- So you gonna kill me, bro?
Over a rat-bitch?
- It ain't even about that.
How would you feel if I was
fucking your bitch, nigga?
(ominous music)
- Where is Destiny?
Nigga, I don't give a
fuck what you do to me.
Leave her out of it.
She ain't got shit
to do with this.
That's where you wrong, bro.
Nigga, Destiny got
everything to do with this.
(tense music)
- The fuck?
So what, y'all fucking?
(sinister music)
(Jalen laughs)
- I'm gonna let her tell you.
- Did you think you
was the only one
keeping secrets around
this motherfucker?
See, me and your brother
keep a few secrets too.
- Mm.
- Bitch, stop playing with me.
- Boy, ain't nobody
playing but you.
See, I thought after
I planted that work
that I found stashed in
the house in your car
then reporting the car stolen
would get your ass locked up.
But I see that ain't go
according as planned.
- You dirty bitch.
So, you the reason Christian
almost got locked up?
- Dirty?
You got your nerve
calling me dirty
after all the shit you done did.
- Jalen, I'm dead-ass wrong
for fucking your girl.
But did you not hear what
the fuck she just said?
- Nigga, I ain't
know shit about that.
- You do now, nigga!
- Fuck Christian going to jail.
At least he ain't have to
die like my baby had to
behind your bullshit.
Your bitch is the reason
why I lost my baby.
- You don't think
that shit hurt me?
That was my seed too.
- No it wasn't.
- The fuck you just say?
- You heard me.
The child that I lost
wasn't your baby.
You see, this whole time
he thought he was
about to be a daddy,
when you were about to
be an uncle. (cackles)
- Bitch, you lying.
- [Destiny] Am I?
Am I?
Tell him, baby,
- Uh-huh.
- Tell your brother that you
were the father of my child.
- That's true.
- So this is the
type of motherfucker
you put your trust into?
She do this shit to me, nigga,
what the fuck you think
she gonna do to you?
You know what, I ain't even
mad at none of this shit.
We supposed to be brothers.
Supposed to be better than that.
Supposed to bind by blood.
(gun firing)
(body thudding)
Goddam, bro, you scared
the fuck outta me.
Thought you was
really gonna kill me.
- No, that's just
payback for all the times
you was whooping me
and Christian's ass.
- Shit, we even now.
- We even.
(hands slapping)
(convicts shouting)
(door clanging)
(moody R&B music)
My decisions wasn't
supposed to hurt you
But I guess it's
karma for me
Try to take my life,
I'll take your life
And now we bound by blood
This game was never
gonna take you
Where you thought it was
I gave my sweat
and I gave my tears
You already know stuff
You tried to put your
best foot forward
But you overstepped
And now we bound by blood
Bound by blood
Bound by blood
Bound by blood
And now we bound by blood
Bound by blood

That's for that ho shit
And that's for that old shit
Already know my moves
You already know what I do
To ho-ass niggas like you
Act like you love yourself
Oh, we about to find out
who the baddest in the room
Blood money, Imma

Fine China, this
ain't no silver spoon
You can tell by
the way that I move
I choreograph
everything that I do
I advise that you
stay out my way
I never thought when

Probably 'cause

When I spill his blood, it
slice spilling Champagne

But I can't lie, I
wish you didn't though
I'm not a liar but

It can't hurt you
if you didn't know
Man, it be your own people
Blood bound, I relate
to the wrong people
And I been out here doing
shit that I don't need to
If you knew better,
you would do better
But I didn't know
How was I supposed to know
Wouldn't have done you wrong
Shoulda never told me
Night is not good karma
But I'll be home soon
If I'm wrong then I'm wrong
But it don't make it right
Its a guilty conscience
How was I supposed to know
Oh
How was I supposed to know
Oh
How was I supposed to know
