- See, see, about to kill
'em tonight, baby, ah!
- Old corny ass hand.
- What?
Um-um, um-um.
- Hey, you all!
- The ace.
- What's up, sis?
- Bro, what's the deal?
- Watching the game.
- What you out here doing?
Oh, oh, it's on commercial.
Who playing?
- I'm gonna be so glad
when you get the fuck
up out of my damn house.
All this coming in late shit
starting to get
on my damn nerves.
And look at how you dressed.
Ain't you supposed
to change clothes
before you leave work?
Trifling ass, just
waiting on some nigga
to come up behind you
and just grab all up
on your pussy, huh?
- Mom!
- Dang.
- [O'Shea] Come on now.
- Why you even saying
something like that?
- I don't know where I
went wrong with your ass.
- Ain't you the same
one who used to drop me
and Izz off at granny
house so you can go party?
Yeah, who had two kids
before the age of 19?
The same one who had a STD
stuck so far up her ass,
the doctor said she couldn't
even have any more kids.
- I know you ain't standing
here talking shit to me
when I got full custody of
your fucking kid, bitch.
- Okay and?
- At least I'm getting
money so I can get custody
of my kid.
- Y'all hear this bitch?
- Unlike you.
Maybe if you was getting
money back in the day,
we wouldn't have struggled
so hard for so long.
- Y'all need to
cut that shit out.
- [Guest] For real.
- Um, um, um, um.
- But shout out to O'Shea,
'cause if it wasn't for him,
you wouldn't be shit.
- Bitch!
(dramatic music)
- Hey!
- Ma.
- That bitch getting the
fuck up out my house.
You gave your daddy
a heart attack
but you not about to
fucking kill me too, bitch.
- [Jackie] Fuck you.
- [O'Shea] You ain't gotta
do that girl like that, man.
(dramatic music)
- Grab all your shit
and get the fuck out.
I should've aborted your ass!
- Ma!
- You always do this.
She always fucking
do this to me, Izz.
- We fucking family and
that's how y'all gonna act?
- You ain't been nothing but
trouble my motherfucking life,
since I fucking had your ass.
I should've known you was gonna
be a goddamned demon child
when you had me in labor
for 36 fucking hours, bitch.
- I don't wanna
fucking be here anyway.
I should've never
fucking come back here.
It's always been fuck
me but it's cool.
Shit, Izz, move.
Fuck!
And you not about to keep on
blaming me for daddy death.
I had nothing to do with that.
- She right, mama.
You know daddy had
heart problems.
That was none of our fault.
- (crying) You don't
understand, Izzy,
she ain't been
nothing but stress.
That man couldn't take
it no fucking more.
She drove him crazy
acting all crazy and shit
soon as she got her first
fucking piece of dick!
Everybody get the
fuck outta my house!
- What's going on
and where's mama?
- Come here, baby.
Mama had to step
out for a minute
but she'll be right back, okay?
Just go back to bed.
(slow music)
- Man, fuck this shit.
(phone ringing)
My mama is something
else, you know that.
She been treating me like
shit all my fucking life
and she treat Izzy like a king.
Paid for him to go to
college and everything.
This shit just not fair, bro.
(window knocking)
(phone beeping)
- Now I know this bitch
did not just hang up on me.
- I just came out
here to check on you.
- I can give you
something to check on.
- Oh, is that right?
- Um-hmm.
- Okay, well, let
me check on it then.
- Get in.
(slow music)
(throat clearing)
Good morning, best friend.
- Ain't no good morning,
best friend, hell naw.
What the hell happened
to you last night?
- What?
- 'Cause I knew your ass
was on all bullshit when
you hung up in my face.
And before you get to lying,
once again let me say, I knew
your ass was on bullshit,
so let's go.
- So O'Shea comes
out to check on me.
- So?
- So I told him I got
something you can check on.
- Bitch, shut up.
I know you fucking
lying (laughing).
- Um-um.
We started going at it right
outside my mama's house-
- What?
- In my truck.
- What?
What the fuck?
Like, what are
you talking about?
- Look, I mean, I
been knew O'Shea.
I knew him before she did.
- Okay.
- I met him at the bar,
we hooked up in his car,
he paid me, and that was it.
I didn't talk to
that nigga since.
When he met Ronica and
they started kicking it,
I didn't give a fuck.
That nigga just a job.
- Dude, where have I been?
You've literally never
told me this story.
Why is this the first time
I'm hearing about this?
- Probably 'cause it wasn't
juicy enough to talk about.
Look, he just came out
there to preach to me
about the whole spat
me and Ronica just had
and at the end of
the day I told him
she's hated me since I was
this tall off the ground.
It's nothing I can do
about somebody like that.
I'm not gonna try,
I'm not changing her,
she ain't changing me,
I'm straight, um-um.
- First of all, let me say this,
your ass is out of
control, that's A.
But B, no, I feel you
about your mama though.
Some people you
just gotta let go
and her ass is stubborn as hell
so I feel you on that.
- Tell me something
I don't know.
- Listen, I was not...
Let me pull myself together
and get ready for work
'cause I was not ready
for that hot ass tea.
And fucking with you, I'm
gonna need a damn shot
before I go to work so-
- What, you said a shot?
Hold on, hold on.
- Lord, why would I say that.
- Look at what we have here,
a shot.
See a shot, take a shot.
- It was a joke,
dude, it was a joke.
- A joke?
- Yes, a joke.
- Don't worry about it.
Hold me down.
- Jackie, I gotta go to work.
- Bitch, okay.
- [Bianca] I can't go to
work with my breath smelling
like liquor, bro, I'm straight.
- Bitch you go to work
with your breath smelling
like dick all the time.
Don't be bougie now.
- Fucking shade.
(both laughing)
- This is why I don't like you.
Give me my damn cup.
- But you love me though.
- I do love you.
- Amen.
- But you get on
my fucking nerves.
- Um-hmm.
Cheers.
- Cheers, bitch.
- That might've been a bad idea.
- Fuck you, Jackie.
Have a good day.
- That might've been a bad idea.
(upbeat music)
If I gotta do it,
I'm a do the most
'Cause they paid
to see a joke
Got the south on
the floor, yeah
If I gotta do it,
I'm gonna do the most
Watching me to take note
Raise a toast to
the GOAT, yeah
- Dang, you going extra
hard today, ain't you?
You good, nigga?
- Yeah, I'm straight.
- Come on, man.
I been knowing you
for way too long.
I know that face, nigga.
What's going on?
- It's my fucking mama
and Jackie ass, dawg.
- Again?
Dawg, what happened
this time, man?
- So you know we had the
party the other night, right?
- [Tank] Right.
- Soon as Jackie walk in,
why my mama get to talking
to her crazy as fuck
right in front of company?
So me and O'Shea had
to break that fight up.
And then right after that,
my mama put her ass out.
- They was like
fighting fighting?
- Like two random
bitches on the street
the way they was going at it.
And you know how long
that shit been going on.
- Yeah, but they women
bro, they fuss and fight.
You know both they
asses alike for real.
- That's my mama and my
sister though, nigga.
And I love 'em both and
I don't want to have
to choose between
the two but that shit
really starting to take
its toll on me, man.
- Yeah, but the
shit been going on
since we was kids though, man.
- Right, nigga.
So you should know how
much I love my sister
and that shit really be
hurting me to see her hurt.
That's the main
reason why I'm trying
to fix this shit
with her and my mama.
You know, my mama just
so fucking stubborn, man.
I just wish my pops was here
to help me figure this shit out.
- That's not your
job though, man.
It's up to them to fix
that shit themselves.
Look bro, the best
thing for you to do is
just to stay out of it, man,
or you gonna continue to
get put in the middle,
looking dumb as fuck, per usual.
Listen bro, you need to watch
what you consume my nigga
or you'll become that.
Trust me, you don't
want that shit, dawg.
Listen to you.
Sophisticated ass nigga,

- Hey man, you know I be

So how you feel about Jackie?
- I ain't gonna lie,

She cute, she got
some hustle in her.
I think she gonna make us a lot
of money in that club, baby.
- Okay, listen boo,
I'm only agreeing to
this because I'm tired
of working so fucking
hard and we really need
to be moving some real money.
So I'm gonna okay this
little Jackie scandal,
or whatever.
But let me be very

Let's make it happen.
But just promise me one thing,

You ready to go?
- Yeah.
- Ready to have a fun time?
Here we go.
Come on.
I wish then growing up
Had enough of
chasing down the sun
But suddenly I can see
everything evergreen
I won't pretend I
ever found my way
I've made my healthy
share of failed mistakes
Still learning the
give and the take
But I am seeing
everything brand new
I'm taking in the
world a different light
Thought I wasted all my life
But I think I
changed my mind
But I think I
changed my mind
I was done growing up
Had enough of
chasing down the sun
But suddenly I can see
Everything evergreen
All right, baby, did
you have fun today?
- Yeah.
- I did too.
I'm gonna miss you.
Look, I know it may seem
like I'm not here for you
but I promise I am, okay.
I'm doing everything that I can
so that we can
get up outta here.
You just don't never forget
that I love you, okay?
- I love you too.
- Good.
All right, go ahead.
Your grandma is waiting.
I'll see you later?
All right.
Taking in the world
a different light
Thought I wasted all my life
But I think I
changed my mind
I was done growing up
Had enough of
chasing down the sun
But suddenly I can see
Everything evergreen
(engine turning)
See you later, bestie.
Love you.
- Wait, wait, wait,
where are you going
and who you going with?
- I'm going out with this guy
named Carlos from the club.
He said he wanted to take me out
so I'm gonna see what
he talking about.
Is that okay with you, mama?
- Yeah, it's fine,
I'm just asking.
Have fun, be safe.
- All right.
- And make sure
your location is on
in case I gotta
come get your ass.
- Okay, love you, bye.
- Love you too, bye.
(mellow music)
She got me like ooh
She got me like ooh
With that body,
better be careful
Ain't no telling
what a nigga might do
But I can bring
that pie through
And have you
screaming like ooh
Now she don't know if
she can go to work today
Be careful what you ask for
Almost had you paralyzed
off that last stroke
Playing roles, switch
positions, hitting high notes
Body slamming on the
mattress doing combos
Champagne in the ice bucket
Floor covered
with rose petals
Your wrist, I'm
a throw ice on it
Diamonds round the ro-bezel
Giving you this
real nigga loving
Girl, these other
chicks ain't nothing
Girl, these other
chicks be fronting
It's just you
who I'm fucking
You got me, I got you,
we both got our bread up
I know I put it down 'cause
when we done she make beds up
Morning time she
cook breakfast
At work she take break fast
Take off for the day, ma
I'm gonna pay you
that same cash
Buzzing off the D'Usse,
fooling when we role play
Hair done
- Girl, what the hell?
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
- I didn't hear your
ass come in last night
so I had to check and make sure
you were still alive, honey.
- I'm alive.
- Clearly.
And since you're now
awake, I'm ready for tea.
I got my tea, I'm ready.
- I bet you are ready.
- I'm ready, I'm ready.
- Okay, Jesus.
Can't even get the
crust out my eyes.
- Listen baby, listen.
- Okay.
We had a really nice time.
- Okay.
- He is such a
sweetheart, oh my god.
I mean, I don't think a
man ever planned a date
like that for me.
Yeah, no ever.
I did not have to touch
not one door handle.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
I know you've been waiting
for some shit like that.
- Ooh, you know
I've been waiting
for some shit like that, okay.
I'm so used to fucking
pizza and wing dates,
I forgot it's actually
men who plan, think.
- Uh, yeah.
And nice dates are always sweet.
But still with that
being said, be careful
'cause you know how manipulative
these niggas can be.
They'll love bomb the
shit outta you one minute
and then be on
demon time the next.
So just pace yourself.
- You right, you right.
- And please tell me that
you did not fuck him.
I'm saying, because you
know that makes shit worse.
Then you got unwanted
babies, STDs.
They got you running around
out here all fucked up-
- Bianca!
- While they out living
they best life with
the next bitch.
Am I lying?
Am I lying?
- Relax, it was just
a first date, Jesus.
And besides I gotta
work all week anyway
so I'm not gonna be
able to see him as much.
- Uh-huh.
- And no-
- Okay, 'cause I'm like,
you trying to avoid it.
- Yet.
I'll make him wait.
- You irritating.
Listen, I want you to have
all the fun, best friend,
please have all the fun.
But seriously though, be careful
and do not get dickmatized
and start thinking that
red flags is green.
You know that's our
favorite mistake.
It's fun as fuck now,
don't get me wrong.
- [Jackie] Good time.
- Yes, it's a good
time but for real,
we not doing that no more.
- Okay.
- Okay.
So keep me posted.
I'm gonna go get ready for work.
And call me if you need me.

- So I appreciate you
coming out tonight.
- Well, I was happy to
come out with you tonight.
- So did you enjoy dinner?
- I did.
You know, I've never
been there before.
You showing me new
things already.
I like that.
- That's what I do.
So tell me, Jackie,
who was that lady
that be standing in the
door when I pick you up
all the time?
- That's my best friend, Bianca.
You know, we've been
together since the sandbox.
She's kind of like the big
sister that I never had.
Kind of like a
protector in a way.
- So how long have y'all
been staying together.
- Only a few weeks now.
I came back from Arizona.
I was staying with
my mom for a minute
but me and my mom we
just, we don't get along.
So when that didn't work out,
I moved in with Bianca.
- So you got beef
with your mama?
- As crazy as that sounds, yes.
I mean, she just
don't care about me.
If you seen how we interacted,
you would think it was like
a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.
It's a lot.
- Damn.
That's fucked up.
That's fucked up.
- Tell me about.
I mean, but listen, she's
resented me since I was a kid.
She loves my brother but me,
I mean, she never
really cared for.
And I'm a be honest, I
was young, promiscuous,
got pregnant young,
just like her.
But it's like after
I had my baby,
she just literally took
a turn for the worst.
So I don't know.
- I mean, maybe she just
wanted what was best for you.
- I mean, if she did,
she 'shol had a funny way
of showing it.
She treated my brother
like the greatest thing
in the world, gave him
everything in the world.
Me, she left for dead.
- Damn, that's tough.
Having a good relationship
with your moms
is one of the best things
you could ever have.
So you only got one kid?
- Yeah, I got one
daughter, my girl, Kylie.
I mean, my mom has
custody of her right now.
She was so hell bent on
the fact that I was young
and a baby having a baby.
I do get it now but I'm
just doing everything
that I can so that
I can get my baby
and just get away from
here because I've got
so much going on, i'm
over it, I'm over here.
- Okay, I understand.
Well, I don't have
any kids myself
but I can't wait to have a son.
I want him the play
some different sports
like lacrosse or soccer
or some shit like that.
- Lacrosse and soccer?
- Yeah, you know, I'm tired
of the old basketball,
football, same old shit.
- That's fair.
- But I do have a
big family though.
I got 12 siblings, four
brothers, eight sisters,
a bunch of nieces and nephews.
- Boy, I wish.
- Yeah, we deep as hell.
- I wish.
I want a big family.
One day I'm a start
my own family,
create my own traditions
and just be happy
like that movie shit.
Right now, all I got is
my brother, for real.
But that's my baby.
That's my heart,
for real, for real.
- That's dope.
That's what I like
to hear, baby.
It sounds like we
on the same page
and hopefully, soon we
can make it to that big,
happy family stage together.
- Well, I hope so
too, Mr. Carlos.
- And please don't call me lame
but what's your favorite color?
- My favorite color?
- Um-hmm.
- Dang, I ain't been
asked my favorite color
in a long time.
(sucking teeth)
Blue?
Blue.
- I feel it.
So let's toast, to better
days, better decisions,
and better relationships.
- To better days.

free next Friday
'cause I got something
really nice planned for you.
- Well, let me

No, for real, lucky

Best friend.

You stressing me out.
Ms. Independent.
Okay, that's cute.

That is so beautiful.

Oh, friend, I'm excited.

He giving me butterflies.
Oh, y'all gonna have fun.
It's the plans for

I gotta hear about this one.
I'll be waiting.

(Jackie squealing)
- Okay, Carlos.
- You ready to
see your surprise?
- Yes, yes, yes.
Oh my God, baby.
This is so nice.
You are the sweetest.
Oh my God.
Look at all these
pretty blue flowers.
Wait, this why you asked me
what my favorite color was
the other day, huh?
Blue dress, blue...
You think you slick.
- Yes, it is, baby.
I really like you, Jackie,
so I wanted to do
something to show you that.
I'm a Gemini so I wear
my heart on my sleeve.
- Gemini.
- I don't know what you used to
but when I find
something I like,
I make sure I take care of it.
- Yay me.
Okay, okay, okay.
Spaghetti.
You made this?
- Yep, you know I did.
- Did you?
- You know, I can
cook up a little bit.
- Where the garlic
bread at (laughing)?
- None, you know I'm sleeping.
- I'm just playing.
Okay, okay.
Wow, who eats spaghetti
without garlic bread
but I'm gonna try.
- While you talking, I got
something else for you.
- Wait, more?
- Yes, open it up.
(box rattling)
- What is this?
- Extra ass.
- What's this?
- It's a key to
this house, baby?
So after the conversation
you and I had the other day,
I went out and got
it furnished for you
in hopes that you'll
accept my gesture
to put you in a better position.
I know your living
situation ain't the best
but I think you
gonna love it here.
- Wait you serious?
- Yeah, only if you want to.
And you can move your
daughter in here.
And don't worry, I'm not
gonna be staying here.
But as we do make progress,
eventually I'll be here
along the way with you.
- Oh my God, baby.
Filling up my cup
Coffee talk on
the spring porch
So in love, now you are the
one I'm losing sleep for
And hope the wrong ones slip
back, oh your magic fingers
And I hope we find some way
to fall in love like we were
Yeah you're the only reason
I was California dreaming
In the first place
Seeing you in sundress season
got me all up in my feelings
For the old days
- You always gonna
be good with me baby.
So I got a proposition for you.
- Proposition?
- Yeah.
I want you to run these pills
through that club you work at.
- Baby, I done done a
couple things in the streets
but I don't know nothing
about running no pills.
- I'm gonna teach you everything
you need to know baby.
You ain't got nothing
to worry about.
- I don't know.
I mean, I ain't never done
nothing like that before.
I don't wanna mess nothing up.
And I know these
streets, it's like um-um.
- Baby, you fucking
with the best.
I got shit on lock from
the east to the west
around this motherfucker.
But I know it's a lot
for you to think about,
so I'll give you some time.
I want you to sleep on it
and let me know how you
feel in the morning.
All right?
- Honestly, baby, I just,
I don't think I
need to sleep on it.
I just, I don't wanna
mess anything up.
That's your lane.
I just wanna stay-
- It's cool, I got you.
You ready for round two?
(lip smacking)
- As long as you promise.
(door creaking)
- Jackie?
What the hell is going on?
I know you not doing
what I think you doing.
- What, look, he got me a
key to a house last night.
- Okay, so?
You know I don't
mind you staying here
where I know you safe at.
Friend, come on, I
love you but I hate
that you fall for these
niggas too fast and too easy.
- Friend, no man's ever done
something like this for me.
He owns the house, he won't
be staying with me right now.
- Jackie, and how long you
think that's gonna last?
Come on now.
- Friend, I promise
I'm gonna be careful.
Look, you know I need
to get back on my feet
so I can get my baby back.
You know it's gonna
look better to a judge
if I got my own space.
- I mean, that
makes sense, Jackie,
and you gonna do what
you wanna do anyway.
But I just, I be
worried about you.
- Don't be worried
about me, friend.
I promise.
- You better be.
'Cause if you die,
I'm a kill your ass.
- I'm not gonna die.
I love you too, baldhead.
- I love you too,
irritating ass.
- Now help me pack.
- Oh, no, no, bitch.
Do I look like I
do manual labor?
I'll meet you in the car.
- You rude.
You're rude.
I'm packing this shit.
(plane droning)
- Hi, I'm here to see
Mr. Smith, please.
- Okay, just head down the hall.
- Gotcha, thank you.
Well hello, mister
head chief in charge
I grabbed your favorite.
- Damn, I get lunch
two times this week?
- Yeah, baby.
- You on a roll, baby.
- And I got something
else for you too.
(phone vibrating)
- Hold on, I gotta take this,
it's my wife.
(Veronica sucking teeth)
- Where you going?
- Hey, I was here to drop
this off for detective-
- Okay.
For who?
- Detective Brown.
- Okay, I got you.
I lay you to rest in pieces
No picture on a T-shirt
Like you never existed
I'm done being a victim
This my villain
era, look out
Make a part for my heart
- What's up, ma?
- Hey, baby.
Izzy, you saw this?
- Nah, what's that?
- It's addressed to you, Isaiah.
Hurry up and open it.
I'm trying to be nosy.
- WT & Associates
acceptance letter.
Dear Isaiah Williams,
We are pleased to
offer you the position
at WT & Associates
as Lead Accountant,
starting July 2023.
(Veronica squealing)
- Oh my god, I'm
so happy for you.
- Hell yeah.
- Get you a nice suit,
get you a nice briefcase.
Oh, you're gonna be
walking in WT & Associates
like you own the
fucking company.
- That's the goal.
- Let me see this.
- That just made my day.
- Shit, mine too.
I was so fucking mad about
something so stupid earlier.
This right here, this
was the pick up I needed.
- Now I'm just waiting on
the apartments to call me
and I'm set.
- Oh, they gonna be calling
you real soon, baby,
just you watch.
- Look ma, I'm not really trying
to kill the mood or anything
but even with me receiving
all this good news,
it's still one thing
that's stopping me
from really being
able to enjoy it.
- What's that, baby?
- You and Jackie.
- Isaiah, not now, please.
- If not now then when, ma?
You know, if y'all fixed the
problem between y'all too,
maybe y'all wouldn't keep
having all these headaches.
Y'all really need
to heal together.
Ma, it's no reason why we
can't be like the families
we see on TV.
- Izzy just focus on what
you have going on right now,
okay, please?
It will be okay.
But what's done is done, shit.
Now what size you
wear 'cause I'm going
to the mall later?
- Really ma?
- What?
Can't even live in
the fucking moment.
(door knocking)
- Mrs. Williams, hello.
- Hi.
- Roger Davis, nice to meet you.
- [Jackie] You as well.
How are you?
- Take a seat.
- Thank you.
- So I hear you wanna
get the process started
to get full custody
of Kylie Williams.
- Yes.
- May I be frank with you?
- Um-hmm.
- This process can get
very costly very quickly,
especially if the legal
guardian is gonna fight back.
You're looking at about $5000
within the first
couple of weeks.
- Okay, well is there
something I can do
to at least get the
process started?
- Absolutely.
We would just need
a $1200 retainer
and then we can start getting
the paperwork started.
- Okay, I can do that.
Can I bring it back
to you tomorrow?
- Perfect.
I'll go get the paperwork.
(phone ringing)
- Hey, baby.
So I slept on what you
said and I'm ready.
Okay.
Okay, I'm on my way.

How you gonna play...
You know what?
First of all, clearly he's

But anyway, he

But anyway, that ain't even

All you have to do is

I swear I cannot do no wrong

Bring the kids,

- And your favorite thing to
do is be in my business, huh?
Dang, what's up?
- You was right, that
shit was too easy.
- See I told you.
- Too easy.
- The work that you

Speaking of easy.
Let's see what I got in my bag.
- That's for me?

So you say you'll

- I'm so proud of you.
I'm gonna miss you.
- So come with me then.
Fresh start, new
scenery, can't beat it.
- That don't sound bad at all.
And plus you know
I can't stay away
from you for too long anyway.
- So let's go.
- Once I get my life
together, get Kylie,
I'm stable enough,
then maybe yeah.
- Maybe it'll be good for
you, Kylie, a fresh start.
But speaking of
fresh starts, Jackie,
you and mama really
need to fix that shit
y'all got going on.
I'm serious, I love y'all
and it's tearing me up
that we can't be the family
that I know we could be.
- Isaiah, it is tearing me up
that I got a mama like that.
Look, you don't need
to concern yourself
with me and Ronica.
The way she looks
at me alone is more
than enough to even fathom,
so just worry about you.
We good, you the one
with the fresh start.
You deserve it.
- So you don't think you
deserve a happy life?
Shit, what about Kylie,
she don't deserve it?
Think about what
you saying, Jackie.
- Of course she deserves
it, we deserve it.
Izz, I just don't
want you to even worry
about what we got going on here
when you got so
much going on, okay?
We good?
I love you.
- Love you too.
- Fresh starts?
We going?
I love you.
- I love you too.
- Hey baby, what you doing here?
I didn't expect you for at
least another couple of hours.
When did a game get in here?
Okay.
(game guns firing)
What's wrong?
Carlos?
(fist slamming)
What the fuck wrong with you?
(hand slapping)
- Who was that nigga
you had in my house?
- My fucking brother?
- Hmm?
How the fuck did you even
know about that anyway?
- Don't fucking play with me, J.
- Fucking let me go
so I can show you.
Fuck.
Stupid.
(dramatic music)
My fucking brother.
Don't you ever fucking put your
hands on me like that again.
- I'm sorry, baby, my bad.
- Your bad.
- I promise it's not
gonna happen again.
I'm sorry.
(lips smacking)
You and I, we're
not too alike
If opposites
attract then by now
I'd have you
wrapped up so tight
You and me
We're not meant to be
It was like the
moon and the stars
Didn't fit in a place on
their own, on their own
It all goes, that's
something we all know
We all try to follow,
that'll leave you hollow
It all goes, that's
something we all know
We all try to follow,
that'll leave you hollow
Not everything
that's shiny is gold
With that glossy lipstick,
she tasted like a good home
(fist slamming)
- You didn't think I
was gonna see that shit?
- See what?
- You in the motherfucking
club, shaking nigga's hands,
being all extra.
- Are you fucking
serious, shaking hands?
You the fucking one who
asked me to move work
through this club.
You think niggas wanna cop
from a grilling ass bitch?
No.
The fuck?
Look, either you want me
to do this shit with you
or you don't.
- Keep fucking playing
with me, you little slut
and I'm a show your ass.
(lip smacking)
(dramatic music)
- What the fuck?
(door knocking)
- Hey, sis.
What the fuck
happened to your face?
- I got drunk and fell.
- Jackie.
- Can I stay here tonight?
I don't feel like going home.
- Jackie, stop playing with me.
You know you can stay here.
- Thanks, B.
- But we talking in the morning.
Jackie, we talking
in the morning.
I don't wanna
be crazy no more
Every time I think you're
gonna walk out of my door
I start to jump
to the conclusion
You don't love me no more
- You cheating.
(Francesca laughing)
You cheating for sure.
(phone ringtone ringing)
Oh, my phone ringing, hold on.
Hello.
What's up, sis?
Damn, right now?
Come on, Jackie, I was
about to get some, you know?
All right, here I come.
Don't sabotage my love
(dramatic tone)
- Damn, so you just
gonna leave like that?
- I ain't trying
to hear that shit.
I'll talk to you later.
(dramatic tone)
They should know you by
name in here by now, right?
Jackie, what the fuck
happened to your face?
- I got drunk and fell, okay?
But I'm good.
How the drop go?
- It was good.
But you need to be more
careful next time, all right?
- Definitely need

Anyway, so I'm about

- Fuck it.
Fuck it.
(ominous music)
(messages beeping)
- I fucking knew it.
Yo, you good?
It's time to go.
- Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.
I bet you don't feel as
good as me right now.
You ain't have one of these.
- Oh, you real sauced up, huh?
- Mm, hell yeah.
Here have one.
- You know what, I think
I'm gonna take these home.
- These cost baby.
- Of course so.
How much for two?
- 75.
- Hmm.
Thanks girl.
- Thank you.
- You be safe.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- I got you.
- Um-hmm.
(action music)
(phone ringing)
- It's on.
Mr. Smith, can I talk
to you for a second?
- Yeah, come on in, beautiful.
What's going on?
- So I'm having a
problem down at the bar.
- I'll handle anything for you.
- Well, I noticed that
it's some drugs being sold
at the bar and I'm not
trying to be a part
of anything like that.
And I don't wanna
get the bar shut down
'cause I do like working there.
So I would just prefer if
you arrested this woman.
- Who is she and how you know?
- Well, that's how I know
and her name is
Jacqueline Williams.
- That name sound real familiar?
- Mm.
- Okay, first thing
tomorrow, I got you.
- Thank you baby.
And you know what?
To show my
appreciation, come here.
Yes, um-hmm.
Digging in deeper and
that's how it better be
I never looked to compare
what you did to me
I just remember you
always was there for me
- This is for the table.
And if y'all need anything
else, just let me know, okay?
All right, enjoy.
- Jacqueline Williams.
(dramatic tone)
- Yes.
- You're under arrest for
illegal drug distribution.
- For what?
What the fuck?
You slimy ass bitch.
(dramatic tone)
- [Kita] Kisses.
- Now Jackie, you know
you way too pretty
to be distributing drugs.
You always been
a beautiful girl.
You don't know this but me
and your mama go way back
so we both know you could
be doing many other things.
Now I also know I can tell you
that there's a man behind this.
I can tell you right
now it ain't worth it.
- I don't know what
you talking about.
- You don't know what
I'm talking about?
We got you caught on camera.
Now tell me, Ms. Williams,
what are you gonna do
to get yourself out of this one?
(dramatic tone)
- Listen, I ain't do shit.
Just please, let me go.
- It is, but I'll tell you what,
if you do the same thing your
mama used to do back then,
I won't take this case in.
- What kind of
fucking cop are you?
- One that's trying to save you.
Shit wouldn't look good
when you go into court
to try and get your kid
back, now wouldn't it?
- This is insane.
I cannot go to fucking
jail right now.
You know what?
Fuck it.
Let's just get this
shit over with.
- All right, Ms. Williams,
I want you to go in there
and get me the rest
of that weight.
But hurry up, I got shit to do.
Come on out.
(dramatic music)
What's up baby?
- Hey baby, Mr. Officer.
Did you miss me?
- You know I did.
Sorry about last week?
- Yeah, I bet you are.
Where is she now?
- She is out of town.
- Oh, um-hmm.
Okay.
- That's good.
I'll take that.
- Outta town, huh?
(lips smacking)
- Oh yeah, your daughter
definitely take after you.
- What?
- Nah, don't stop.
I'm just trying to say y'all
both know how to do it.
- What the fuck
did you say to me?
- Man, you didn't know she
got arrested the other day.
- Of course, this bitch-
- Got caught selling drugs.
She didn't wanna go to jail
so she did what she had to do.
It was a win-win.
At least she free, baby.
- This bitch.
But you know what, babe?
You are absolutely right.
- Yeah, let me get some
more of that good stuff.

You had one fucking job, Kita.
You fucked that up.
You couldn't keep your fucking
emotions out of this shit.
What, you was mad 'cause she

than you is?
- Carlos, I sat there
and I watched you get mad
about some shit this bitch did.
I can't believe you really

And a better business
partner for you than me?
That bitch can never.
Nigga, I been with you all

(door slamming)
(aggressive music)
(mysterious music)
- Everybody happy?
- Yeah, give me a minute.
Yo, y'all late.
What's up with that?
Thought y'all was supposed
to be my new dynamic duo
or some shit.
- Well, I ain't
heard from Jackie.
I knew this shit had to
get to you so here it is.
- You know being late is
bad for business, right?
I like to keep a low profile.
Shit, I don't like my face
being seen by everybody
but I felt like this had
to be discussed in person,
so you could understand how I
feel about this type of shit.
You see, we keep a tight
ship around this bitch
and we don't do late.
Shit, we barely do new people.
I don't like fucking
with new people
so please, don't make
me change my mind.
- We'll get it together.
- Valet.
- Get the fuck outta here, man.
(mellow music)
- Can I get you anything else?
- Another round.
- Okay.
- Jackie, that's you?
- Yep, it's me, just
having a little drink.
- Fuck it, I might as well
have a few with you too.
I'm stressed the fuck
out right now, man.
Hey, you know your brother
looking for you though, right?
- Yeah, I know.
I'm just in shutdown
mode right now.
Life is really trying
to take us out.
But fuck it, let's
drink to life.
- Drink to life.
- Um (chuckling).

That wasn't nice at all.
Whew, all right, that

Whew.
- Don't fall in.
- I'm a try.
I'm just thinking out
loud, thinking about how
It all change quicker than
a million dollar smile
I felt bad for
whatever I said
But whatever is there-
The way you got me

I'll go get the
weed on the way

Oh shit, let me

(lips smacking)
- Tank, stop.

You know I'm trying to eat to.

I thought I was like family too.
Fuck this.
I'm done not

(slow piano music)
(dramatic drumming)
(melancholy music)
- Jackie, Jackie.

What's going on?
- I know, bro.
I know, I just needed a
couple of days to think.
I just need to think.
- Think about what?
You not saying shit.
Say something.
What happened?
- Last night, I went to the bar.
Tank showed up.
We had a few drinks.
I don't know, Izz,
everything after that was
just kind of a blur.
I was too drunk to drive home
so I fucking got in
the car with Tank
and I don't know, I woke up
at his house this morning.
- He wasn't on no
bullshit, was he?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You don't get too drunk to where
you don't know what's
going on, Jackie.
That shit not safe.
- I know.
I know.
Look, I don't remember much
but I remember him saying
something about putting him on.
That shit was weird.
How do he even know
what we got going on?
- Man, that nigga
don't know shit.
Last week, he got threw in jail.
I went down there
and bailed him out
'cause he was beating
his bitch, paid the 5k
and told him he didn't
have to pay me back.
Now he assume he think
he know what's going on.
He don't know shit.
- Isaiah, I don't know.
Just stay away from him, okay.
I know a jealous
nigga when I see one
and I can sense
that shit on him.
Please, stay away from him.
- I hear you.
- Okay, thank you
for picking me up.
- You know I'll never
leave you out here dry.
- All right, let me take
my ass in this house.
I'll call you later.
- All right.
- I love you.
- Love you too.
(engine turning)
(door slamming)
(dramatic tone)
- Como esta, Ms. Jackie.
I heard you been MIA.
When I hear shit like that,
I feel like I gotta pop out
and see what
motherfuckers is on.

and he barely try to
cover for your ass.
- What?
- I'm just saying, Ms. Jackie,

same team or not
'cause I can't tell right now.
It's like you and your
brother out for yourself.
- We always been
on the same team.
What is you talking about?
- So why we had to come
find you, Ms. Jackie?
It's like I told your brother,
I don't play these
type of games.
I ain't gonna let nothing or
nobody fuck my business up.
Los, I think you need
to show Ms. Jackie we

- Carlos, please, you
don't have to do this.

(Jackie crying)
(body thudding)

- Boy, come on in.
Now you already know it's

- For sure.
(dramatic music)
Oh shit.
Thank you, Mrs. Williams.
- Uh-huh.
- It's okay, baby.
We gonna figure it

- What's going on, Jackie?
Tell him.
- Izz, this nigga beat my

at the store today.
- He did what?
Send me a picture of this
nigga, his address or something.
Where the fuck he stay at?
- Izz, please just

- Nah, Jackie.
This ain't no fucking debate.
Look at your face.
- Okay.

- Come on, come on.
(hands clapping)
I'm sending it.
- I already knew how that
shit was about to go down.
- Sent, okay.
(phone dinging)
- Hold the fuck up.
- God!
- This the same nigga
that was at mama house
the other day.
I think him and O'Shea must
work in the streets together
or something.
- What?
What the fuck would he
be doing over there?
I know Ronica didn't try
to set all this shit up.
- And I ain't even think
to ask O'Shea shit.
I just went off
of what mama said.
- Y'all, I know y'all probably
don't wanna hear this shit
'cause it's y'all mama,
but Ronica on bullshit.
The same nigga I saw
drop you off the one day
in the cop car, I seen
his ass chasing Ronica
up out the police
station the other day.
Remember, I was
telling you, Izz.
Your mama on bullshit, Jackie.
- See, something ain't right.
(dramatic music)
Izz, Izz.
(door slamming)
- So you already know
how that's about to go.
Um, um, um.
Calm down, Jackie.
(messages beeping)
- Okay, fine man.
When you get a man?
I see that.
- Nah, I don't have no man.
This nigga is not nobody
and I done already heard shit
about his ass in the streets
that I'm trying to
fuck with so blocked.
- Niggas.
(dramatic music)
Fuck.
What you think you know
What you hold so dear
What you think you do
- Yo, babe, what the fuck
is taking you so long
to open the fucking door.
(gasping) Oh my God,
oh my God (screaming).
(gun firing)
(slow piano music)
(dramatic tone)
- What the fuck?
Ma!
- What the hell wrong with you?
- Who was in here
while I was gone?
- Tank stopped by to use
the bathroom, that's it.
(dramatic tone)
- Fuck!
(birds chirping)
- Bro.
- This nigga Tank done
officially lost is fucking mind.
- What the fuck
that nigga do now?
- So why I'm in my
room counting my money
and I noticed it
was 10,000 missing?
- 10,000?
- [Isaiah] Instantly
thought about that nigga.
- How would he even know
where your money at?
- Shit, I don't know.
But mama said that
nigga came over there
to use the bathroom
the other day.
So I figured his sheisty
ass must've cut off
into my room and
stole out my shit.
- I told you the other day when
he said what he said to me,
I knew he was on
some bullshit, bro.
I could feel it.
- Nigga supposed to be
like my fucking brother
and you gonna steal from me?
Acting like I'm gonna
leave you behind.
Shit, I gotta make
sure it work first.
How the fuck I'm
just getting started
and you already hating?
- I have had the
worst couple of weeks.
This is crazy.
None of this was supposed
to happen like this, Izz.
This shit is all my fault.
I done fucking
almost went to jail.
Had to suck a cop dick
just to be free right now.
This is-
- Hold on, hold on.
Wait, hold on, slow down.
What?
- Yeah, that bitch
Kita snitched on me.
The cop that she called
came and arrested me
in the middle of
the fucking bar.
Had me suck his dick just
so I wouldn't go to jail
and you know I can't afford
to go to jail right now, Izz.
I'm trying to fucking fix
my life and get outta here.
I fucking hate it here.
- Well, you ain't gotta
worry about Kita no more.
- What the fuck you mean I
ain't gotta worry about Kita?
(dramatic tone)
- She was with Carlos
when I ran into him.
- What the fuck is
she doing with him?
- Right place, wrong time.
You done really woke a
demon back up, Jackie.
It's about to get real
scary around this bitch.
- Fuck it, fuck her.
That bitch acted like
she was my friend,
smiled in my face, and then
stabbed me in the back.
So oh well, she got
what she deserved.
Now the question is, what
the fuck is we about to do
about this nigga Tank?
- Shit, you know what they say,
this much money and
jealousy don't mix.
- [Jackie] Bingo.
- Nigga was like my
brother but fuck him now.
Set it up.
- Fuck it.
Let's do it.
(birds chirping)
- What's up, Shug?
- I'm a need you to go ahead
and take a seat, big fella.
Go ahead.
(dramatic music)
- What's going on down here?
And what you doing here?
- Well, I don't know
what you doing here
but Shug told me
he wanted to talk
to me about business alone.
- Well, Shug told me
the same thing so.
- Go on ahead and
take a seat, Jackie.
- Sit the fuck down.
He not gonna ask you twice.
(dramatic drumming)
- So I get a call this
morning by my right hand man,
my fucking business partner,
my brother being found dead.
Now Izzy, me and you done
already talked about this shit
and I told you I don't
like doing new people
'cause every time I
bring new people around,
shit get weird.
A lot of funny shit
start happening.
- [Isaiah and Jackie] We ain't
have shit to do with that.
- Yeah?
Y'all a team though right?
Jackie, you let this man
come in my place of business
two days late.
Two fucking days!
Playing with my fucking time.
This your brother, right?
He ain't even
vouch for your ass.
Oh, she ain't tell you
about the cop, huh?
Oh, he wanted her ass bad.
See, you thought she wasn't
gonna give somebody up.
- What is you
talking about, bro?
- I'm not your bro.
I'm just telling you the real.
But right now, it seem like it's
a lot of fake shit going on.
It's something up
with one of y'all.
We gonna figure this shit out.
Since y'all like to
play with me so much,
I got a motherfucking
game we can play.
I put a bullet in one of
these motherfucking guns.
Which one?
I don't know and I
don't give a fuck.
That's for y'all to figure out.
- Shug, no.
Please, I been making
you money all this time.
We been doing this
shit altogether.
This is unnecessary.
- Unnecessary was my
brother being dead.
But shit, here we are.
So I'm a need y'all to
figure this shit out.
(dramatic music)
- Take the fucking gun.
- See what the fuck I'm
talking about, Jackie?
- Sit your ass down, boy.
- Fuckers do everything right.
I take care of my mama,
I go to school, I work,
all for me to still
end up in some shit
that ain't got
nothing to do with me,
as a fucking favor for you.
- I'm sorry.
- That's what's wrong with you,
you think big money
make happy endings.
Nah, that shit usually
ends with bad regrets.
Y'all need to figure
this shit out.
- I got plans, Jackie.
I have a life I wanna
live, places I wanna go.
(Jackie crying)
(dramatic music)
I'm sorry.
(Jackie yelling)
(gun firing)
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(rope hitting)
- Thought that shit
was sweet, nigga?
Yeah, I took shit because
you ain't wanna give me shit.
All you had to do was put
me on from the beginning,
like I asked your punk ass to
and none of this
would've happened.
But fuck it, it's Detroit, baby.
It's eat or get ate.
And I'm a get
mines by any means.
Jackie, what the hell
are you doing here?
- Yeah, nigga.
You thought I wasn't
gonna find out
about you drugging
me at that party?
You thought I wasn't gonna
find out about that shit, huh?
- Bitch, you got drunk on
your own and let me fuck.
That's your fault.
- Oh yeah, I got drunk?
Okay.
(gun firing)
Fuck you, nigga.
(Tank yelling)
- Yeah.
I'll bet your ass ain't
gonna be fucking nobody else.
(gun firing)
Bitch.
- Oh, fuck!
You bitch!
Jackie!
(dramatic music)
(door knocking)
- What the fuck are you
doing here at my house?
- I need you to come
and identify a body.
- A body?
- What's going on?
- They need me to
come identify a body.
- A body?
- Let me grab my shoes.
I'll be right down.
- What you talking about a body?
- You have to bring her.
- Hold on, hold on, baby,
I'm coming with you.
(Officer Smith mumbling)
(melancholy music)
(Veronica screaming and crying)
Izzy, Izzy no (crying)!
(melancholy music)
(Veronica crying) My Izzy.
- Grandma, are you okay?
- Oh, baby, baby (crying).
We gonna be okay,

Thank you so much.
Grandma loves you, baby.

- It's okay, baby.
Go upstairs and get
your backpack, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, go.
(dramatic music)
(Veronica gasping)
- It's not like I'm gonna
miss anything, you know?
Not like you ever
cared for me anyway.
You know, I knew it
was you the whole time.
You sent Carlos after me,
slashed my tires,
and you always tried to
turn my brother against me.
- You useless bitch.
- Hello, hello.
I need help at 8012
Harwell Street.
I think I'm having
a heart attack.
(dramatic music)
Let's go, Kylie.
(Veronica gasping)
Hurry up.
(action music)
(Jackie screaming)
(dramatic music)
- Let's ride.
(slow piano music)
