You've done nothing
but protect these boys.
If my wife dies,
I'mma burn this motherfucker
to the ground.
Do you have any idea
what you're up against?
Don't make him angry.
You shouldn't antagonize your uncle.
He is dangerous.
This entire family is dangerous.
- exactly?
- Don't lawyer me.
I wanna know what I should do.
[Delinda] Kimmie, you got a VIP.
[Kimmie] So I strip, you pay.
That's what this is.
You don't want your son to see you here.
W Where is she?
[woman] She died.
[dog barking in the distance]
[hip-hop music playing indistinctly]
[brakes screech]
[Body] Hey.
[dramatic music playing]
[Kimmie sighs, grunts]
Where the hell you been?
You supposed to have that phone on you
at all times, bitch.
Where did you go?
[dog continues barking]
[Body] Oh okay.
You not gonna answer me?
[Delinda] Whoo!
Bitch, what the fuck is wrong with you?
You high or some shit?
See, bitch,
you need to be where the hell I tell you
you need to be.
I've been calling yo ass for hours.
You know what? Get in the fucking car.
Get yo ass in the car, bitch.
You got Jules calling me to come find you
like I ain't got shit to do.
- Stupid bitch.
- [Kimmie grunts]
Get in the fucking car!
[dramatic music continues]
[tires screech]
[music fades]
[monitor beeping]
Hello.
Norman, how is she?
Tell me you got something for me.
I'm working on it.
- Jules
- Look, I swear.
I'm working on it.
What is it that you're not telling me?
[sighs]
I got some information, but, uh
What is it?
There was a triple homicide
in the tow yard Ina was found in.
Everyone was executed.
What?
Yes.
But she wasn't shot.
No.
I'm trying to get all the CCT footage
from the area as much as I can.
- Well Well, did the place have cameras?
- Mm-hmm.
One. But that wasn't working very well.
Shit.
You know, the doctor said, uh,
that the swelling on her brain
has gone down.
And so she'll be able
to tell us everything.
[monitor continues beeping]
Thank God.
You know, I know one of my nephews
did this shit.
[inhales] Well
What?
I'm I'm just not gonna try
and talk you out of this.
Well, good.
Because they know that
Ina gets all of my shares
if something happens to me.
And they want her out.
I know you believe that's what happened.
No, that's the truth.
It's in the will
that that that the spouse
gets all of the shares.
No spouse, no no children,
it goes back to the family.
My My father set it up like that.
It's part of the will.
I was such a damn fool.
[exhales] Relax.
No, you're not.
Just find out who did this shit.
I swear I will.
Well, get to it.
Ina's gotta rest.
[sighs]
Yeah.
Doctor's coming in tomorrow.
They're gonna take her out
of this, uh, coma.
Yes, um
Of course.
[dramatic music swells]
[music fades]
[phone line ringing]
[phone vibrating]
[clears throat]
What is it?
I tried calling Roy,
but I couldn't get him,
so I thought I'd call you.
As I asked you, what is it?
I'm on my way to talk
to your father-in-law about your aunt.
Apparently, she's making progress,
and they wanna take her
out of her coma tomorrow.
Oh, wow, that's excellent news, no?
I'm sorry?
Sarcasm.
What's the plan, Jules?
To talk to your father-in-law.
Jules, you know what the hell I'm asking.
Don't worry, he won't know it was you.
Know what was me?
Look, I just called to fill you in.
Whatever. Where's Roy?
I'm not sure.
Jules, I know you're lying.
M M Mallory, all right, do we have to
go through this all the time?
Look, I don't know anything, I swear.
Whatever, Jules.

[siren wailing in the distance]
Did you call my wife?
- What?
- Don't fucking play games with me.
Don't play games.
No, how would I have done that?
- I don't know your password.
- By saying "call my wife" on my phone.
So did you?
No.
You have no idea what it's like being me.
You know that?
No, I d I don't.
I got a father that hates me,
a mother that hates me as well.
Look at me, bitch,
when I'm talking to you.
I got a queer-ass loser
as a brother. [scoffs]
They put all the pressure on me
to run this fucking company.
I don't know why I'm telling you this.
You're just a stupid-ass whore, anyway.
Did you even graduate from college
or go to school?
Any education?
[sniffles]
You know what?
Take your fucking clothes off.
Hurry the fuck up.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Mmm.
[Roy breathing heavily]
Look at me.
Fuck this shit.

So when am I gonna see you again?
[sighs] I'll let you know.
You wanna take my number?
It's best we keep it
between us and Kimmie.
I see.
What?
So she's my pimp.
What do you mean?
She's eating off of me.
Speak English.
Are you paying her for me?
No.
You sure?
Why would I lie?
You're right.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
So I'll just wait to hear from you,
or what?
Yeah.
Well, uh, hey.
[zipper unzips]
This'll be waiting for you.
I'm sure it will.

Shit, man.
[indistinct chatter]

Good night, and thank you.
I'm sorry it took a little longer
than an hour.
It's fine.
Hey, hey.
You You okay?
I'm just tired.
Okay.
[Kimmie sniffles]
Something is wrong with that nigga.

if he wanna do more than that,
I ain't doing that shit. Fuck that.
Fuck that.
[phone vibrating]
Fuck.
Now I gotta deal with my baby mama.
She's gonna think I'm out

She's been calling me for hours.

- [table rattles]
- [items clatter]
My fucking car, man!
[baby crying]
I hate this shit.
And now she's gonna put me out.
That watch was worth a million dollars.
A million.
With that alone, we could've found a way
to sell that shit and been set.
This nigga gets to have
a million-dollar watch,
and I can't even afford a fucking car?
I'm not doing this shit. I'm not.
Kimmie, we can do this shit.
Okay?
Shit, you crying.
You must be feeling
the same shit I'm feeling.
Just think about it.
Let's do it.
[pensive music playing]
You in?
I'm in.
Let's take him.
Shit, yeah.
[fire crackling]
Here you are, sir.
Thank you.
[doorbell rings]
Yes.
He's in the great room.
[door shuts]
That'll be all, James.
This better be important,
getting me out of bed so late.
It's about your sister-in-law.
We have secure phones.
This could've just been a call.
It's more of an in-person thing.
I needed to see your face.
Okay, you're seeing it.
What is it, Jules?
Your brother
says Ina's making progress.
And?
That wouldn't be good.
Wa
Was it my fucking sons?
I don't know.
[glass shatters]
You're lying!
Protecting them motherfuckers
since the day they were born.
What do you want me to say?
I'm sorry?
Which one?
It was Roy.
Roy.
Shit.
I know.
But, you know, everything was scrubbed,
all the cameras.
And it's a good thing
that it happened on your property.
Fuck.
[breathes deeply]
Not for Ina.
Yeah, I know.
What is the chance she'll remember?
It's not probable, but
I don't think we wanna take that chance.
You know how volatile your brother can be.
Yeah, I know.
[exhales]
I swear I would let
that little motherfucker rot in jail,
but I won't give my brother
the satisfaction.
Mm-mm.
And you shouldn't.
Damn it, I hate those fucking boys.
They don't have none of me.
Not a bit of my DNA,
all of their mother's.
[sighs deeply]
It could be taken care of.
How?
I could have it done right now.
[sighs]
Nah, it's too messy.
I made a donation at the hospital.
Peter Framer
owes me some favors.
Peter?
Yeah, he's the, uh
the director of Patients
and Medical Service.
What kind of favors does he owe you?
The only favors I hold
are bodies buried.
[tense music playing]
Yes, sir.
I'll handle it.
Yes, sir.
[music fades]
[monitor beeping]
Hello.
- Hey.
- [nurse] How is she?
- [door shuts]
- You tell me.
[nurse] Well, her vitals are looking good.
- I'm gonna check her fluids.
- Okay.
- We just wanna be sure she's comfortable.
- Yeah.
How are you? Are you comfortable?
Yeah, I'm good.
You don't look like it in that chair.
Well, compared to her, I'm doing fine.
Yes, well, I can see how that sounds.
Yeah.
I didn't mean anything by it.
I could help get you a comfier chair,
even a bed.
A bed?
No. No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I can tell you really love her.
Yeah.
I do.
She is a lucky woman
to have a man like you
standing by her side.
Hmm.
No, I'm the lucky one. She's, uh
She means the world to me.
Yes.
Well, it shows.
Especially the way you're sitting here.
Well, look, I I I am no angel.
She is.
Yes, I'm sure she would say the same.
[sighs]
I would hope so.
Are you kidding me?
Considering how much you and your family
have done for this hospital?
Hmm.
Thank you.
Sure.
Well, everything looks really good here.
Please try and get some rest.
If you change your mind about that bed,
just ring the button.
Thank you.

[electronic ringing]
[Mallory] Calvin.
[Calvin] Yes, ma'am?
Come see me in the living room.
Right away.
[line ends]
You needed me?
You're fully dressed.
Well, I didn't know what was going on, so
How did you get dressed so quick?
I was on the move, ma'am.
What do you need?
I need to know where Roy is.
Well, I'm not sure.
I used to be able to track his phone,
and now I can't.
- I don't know where he is. I'm sorry.
- Mmm.
How close are you with Jules?
Not very. Why?
Do you tell him everything?
Not the personal things.
You know you shouldn't
tell everyone everything.
Especially certain things, right?
I get it.
Good, so we're on the same page.
Yeah, we are.
Good, thank you.
Need anything else?
No, I asked you for what I needed.
Okay. Well, have a good night.
You too.
Actually, I do have one more thing.
Anything.
You can ask me anything, Mallory.
I need to know where my husband is.
I know Jules used
to keep track of him, but
I can ask, but I'm sure
he's not gonna share it with me.
Why?
Well, he got upset
the last time I asked, so
Why is that?
I'm not sure.
[Mallory] Hmm.
Why did you ask about him?
Well, I was told he was doing something,
so I asked about it.
Don't be vague with me, Calvin.
What was he doing?
It had to do with another woman.
- What woman?
- [Calvin inhales]
- I don't know. Never got a name.
- Mm-hmm.
I asked him about it, he let me have it,
so I never asked again.
Well, I need to know
anything that you know.
I need to know what he's doing.
Well, like I said, I can try,
but it won't be easy.
If you let me know everything he's doing,
I'll make it worth your while.
You talking about money or something else?
What else am I talking about?
Just asking.
You can leave.
Have a good night, Mallory.
I will.
Did you see that bitch's face? [chuckles]
- [Body] She trying me.
- [Delinda chuckles]
[Delinda] I bet you
she won't do that shit again.
She ain't about to be having
Jules mad at me.
[Delinda chuckles]
[Delinda] Hello.
Speaking of Jules
[sighs] Fuck.
[Delinda] Go on out there
and see what he want.
[tsks, sighs]
[door shuts]
Damn, what the fuck you looking at?
[Jules] Did you find her?
Yeah.
Where was she?
At her hotel.
Why wasn't she answering her her phone?
She was just doing it to piss me off.
[Jules] Hmm.
Yeah.
You know, more I think about it,
you the wrong girl for this.
Come on, Jules. I got this.
- Well, it don't look that way to me.
- No, for real.
Nah.
Nah, I'mma have to rethink this.
I'm telling you, I got this.
Maybe she should be running this,
since you can't seem
to get her under control.
Jules, don't do me like that.
You know I'm down with you.
And what's that mean?
That means I would do anything for you.
You sure about that?
Yes.
Yeah, but you said don't do you like that.
- What about me?
- Daddy, I was only talking about you.
I swear.
You know what she did the last time, huh?
I know.
She disappoints me.
I would never do that.
And I don't like being disappointed.
I know.
I promise you.
Let me make it up to you.
What are you doing?
I'm just trying to make it up to you.
You think that's what I want from you?
I
Open your mouth.
Open it.
Wider.
You think I can't see all the men
that's been up in there?
Huh?
Think that's what I want from you?
- You insulted me.
- Sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Get the fuck out.
Jules, please
Get the fuck out.
[Body] I'm sorry.
[Jules] You don't understand, do you, huh?
- [Body] Just give me one more chance.
- [Jules] Close the fucking door.
Hey, what the fuck did he say?
Move. Move, bitches.
Move. Today!
Let's go!
[Delinda] That bad, huh?
- Uh
- What?
[Delinda] Hey, what'd he say?

Shit.
You can't let that happen.
- You think I'm gonna let that happen?
- I know you not gonna let that happen.
Shit.
I will kill that bitch if it's
the last thing I do, I swear to God.
Oh, you know you can't be

My blood sugar weren't low,
I'd beat your ass.

Shit.
And And this this could really happen?
- Yeah.
- Okay. [inhales]

Shit. Okay. All right.
[Varney sighs]
I'm gonna see you tonight?
I'm going home later.
So that means I'm not gonna see you.
- Hey, that's your rule, not mine.
- Come on.
You all live on the same street.
And if I park my car anywhere
other than your father's house
- Why are we hiding this?

Fine.

[exhales]
And?
[groans]
[Roy exhales]
Read it.
- What is this?
- You still can read, right, Roy?
Read it.
What is this, Mallory?
This is Dr. Jack Collier.
He got caught
having an affair with a whore.
You see that face?
That's his wife.
- You see her face all over this blog?
- What's this got to do with me?
Let me be a bitch on a blog,
and I'll fucking kill you.
[Roy] Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Oh, like, uh
Like how you did my aunt, hmm?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Zip me up.
You know, you are so paranoid.
I mean, uh
you still got those bugs you checking
every night under your car?
I know you better had heard
what I said, Roy.
[Roy exhales]
You know,
it's just fascinating to me how image
is so important to you.
Hmm.
What else do I have?
Baby, look around.
Look at this.
Well, you sure didn't give me this shit.
Huh.
You were a poor-ass teen when I met you.
Remember that?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Now I've earned every damn dime.
- Mmm, like the sweet little ho you are.
- [Mallory chuckles]
- Oh, I'm a whore?
- Mm-hmm.
If I'm a whore, what the hell are you
but a spoiled, brat-ass druggie?
[Roy] Mmm, mmm.
Don't you got somewhere to be?
Yeah, I need to go to work, so I can pay
for these damn shoes that you have on.
Because the man I married is a little boy.
Just go.
Just fucking go, man.
Let me end up on the blog, Roy.
Bye, Mallory.
Let this be your warning.
Fucking vultures.
[Mallory] Well, I became that
because of this family.
[rythmic hip-hop beat playing]
[Gillian] Good morning, ma'am.
Gillian, you won't be riding
with me this morning.
You can pick up my dry cleaning.
I did that yesterday, ma'am.
Okay.
Well, I don't want you to ride with me.
Yes, ma'am. But is there a reason why?
Is it something I did wrong, or
Bitch, do I need to give you a reason
why I don't want you to ride with me?
Do you need one?
You need a reason?
Let me give you one.
Maybe because you stink.
You smell like old hair grease
and mothballs.
You smell like fucking Jim Crow.
Your damn tears stink too.
Find another way.
Close the door, motherfucker.
You know what? Fuck this.
What, did you sit here?
- Yes, ma'am.

Oh. [sighs]
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?

Yeah.
So if I call my wife,

to pick up this dress?
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
[Gillian] Mm-hmm.
Let's call her.
[Roy chuckles]
[sighs] Let me make
this quick phone call, then.
[Roy sighs]
Let's see what she says.

- What?
Please, please, please. I just, um
You know, now that I think about it,
Mallory, she never wears
the same dress twice. Never.
So, what's going on?
Did she send you here?
No.
- You setting me up.
- I wanted to
- You setting me up.
- I'm not setting you up.
I'm telling you, I'm not.
So, what's the game plan here, huh?
Mallory gonna come down the private road,
she gonna double back and catch us?
- Is that the game plan? Is that it?
- This is my idea. All my idea.
And if she finds out anything,
I lose everything.
Get out. You talking too much. Get out.
- Get out.
- Okay.
You're setting me up,
that's what you're doing. Get out.
- I'm sorry.
- Now.
But I wasn't.
I'm sorry.
[Roy exhales]

This motherfucker.
Hey, I'll tell you what, boy
[clears throat]
[phone ringing]
What?
You think I'm stupid?
Yeah, I do, actually.
I ain't falling for it, Mallory.
What are you talking about?
You think you're really smarter
than me, huh?
Roy, that's been proven that I am.
Are you doubling back?
Now, why would I do that?
I know you're doubling back, Mallory.
You know what? I'm about to go
to the office. Get the fuck off my phone.
I'mma go do what you don't do.
[mutters]
This fucking idiot.
Your husband?
What?
Is that who you're referring to?
Why do you think you can ask me that?
I just assumed.
Don't assume shit.
[rhythmic hip-hop beat playing]
Yes, ma'am.
You supposed to be driving me, right?
- Yeah
- Well, just do that and shut up.
Yes, ma'am.
[rhythmic hip-hop beat continues]
[music fades]
[nurse] Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
- [monitor beeping]
- Uh..
Yeah, these chairs are not
- Sorry, the chairs are awful.
- How is she?
I really hate to tell you this.
What is it?
We got her test results back.
And?
I'm so sorry, Mr. Bellarie.
We've done all we could.
Wait.
[scoffs] Yesterday,
you you you said she was fine.
She She squeezed my hand.
Yes, I know.
But I can show you the CAT scans.
Last night, she developed
severe bleeding on the brain,
and the swelling started to increase.
What does that mean?
It means your wife has no brain activity.
The machines are the only thing
keeping her alive.
So what are you saying?
The probability
of her regaining consciousness
is about less than 2%.
So she's dead?
No, sir.
She is alive, but
But the machines are doing it?
Yes.
[exhales]
How does someone run over
a 64-year-old woman
and leave her for dead?
People can be awful.
Family can be worse.
I'm sorry.
Is there someone we can call
to be here with you?
She's the only one I would call.
Mr. Bellarie, you and your family
have been really good to this hospital.
I promise you, we have done all we could.
And that's all you can do?
Right?
I'm so sorry.
So, uh
are are you saying that, um
I should just let her die?
That is not a decision I can make.
Well, is there another way?
In my medical opinion,
we don't think she'll ever recover.
So you want me to make the decision?
It would have to be yours, sir.
Unless there's someone else
who has a power of attorney?
That would be me.
Okay.
You don't have to make
that decision right now.
You take all the time you need.
Thank you.
Just ring the bell if you need anything.

- What happened?
- Yesterday, she was fine.
A nurse comes in here
last night at midnight,
and then now today,
she's not going to make it.
- Shit.

Tell me you got something for me.
I'm working on it.
- Jules
- Look, I swear.
I'm working on it.
What is it that you're not telling me?
[sighs]
I got some information, but, uh
What is it?
There was a triple homicide
in the tow yard Ina was found in.
Everyone was executed.
What?
Yes.
But she wasn't shot.
No.
I'm trying to get all the CCT footage
from the area as much as I can.
- Well Well, did the place have cameras?
- Mm-hmm.
One. But that wasn't working very well.
Shit.
You know, the doctor said, uh,
that the swelling on her brain
has gone down.
And so she'll be able
to tell us everything.
[monitor continues beeping]
Thank God.
You know, I know one of my nephews
did this shit.
[inhales] Well
What?
I'm I'm just not gonna try
and talk you out of this.
Well, good.
Because they know that
Ina gets all of my shares
if something happens to me.
And they want her out.
I know you believe that's what happened.
No, that's the truth.
It's in the will
that that that the spouse
gets all of the shares.
No spouse, no no children,
it goes back to the family.
My My father set it up like that.
It's part of the will.
I was such a damn fool.
[exhales] Relax.
No, you're not.
Just find out who did this shit.
I swear I will.
Well, get to it.
Ina's gotta rest.
[sighs]
Yeah.
Doctor's coming in tomorrow.
They're gonna take her out
of this, uh, coma.
Yes, um
Of course.

What is it?
I tried calling Roy,

I'm on my way to talk
to your father-in-law about your aunt.
Apparently, she's making progress,
and they wanna take her
out of her coma tomorrow.
Oh, wow, that's excellent news, no?
I'm sorry?
Sarcasm.
What's the plan, Jules?
To talk to your father-in-law.
Jules, you know what the hell I'm asking.
Don't worry, he won't know it was you.
Know what was me?
Look, I just called to fill you in.
Whatever. Where's Roy?
I'm not sure.
Jules, I know you're lying.

Why?
Well, he got upset
the last time I asked, so
Why is that?
I'm not sure.
[Mallory] Hmm.
Why did you ask about him?
Well, I was told he was doing something,
so I asked about it.
Don't be vague with me, Calvin.
What was he doing?
It had to do with another woman.
- What woman?
- [Calvin inhales]
- I don't know. Never got a name.
- Mm-hmm.
I asked him about it, he let me have it,
so I never asked again.
Well, I need to know
anything that you know.
I need to know what he's doing.
Well, like I said, I can try,
but it won't be easy.
If you let me know everything he's doing,
I'll make it worth your while.
You talking about money or something else?
What else am I talking about?
Just asking.
You can leave.
Have a good night, Mallory.
I will.

Yeah.
Where was she?
At her hotel.
Why wasn't she answering her her phone?
She was just doing it to piss me off.
[Jules] Hmm.
Yeah.
You know, more I think about it,
you the wrong girl for this.
Come on, Jules. I got this.
- Well, it don't look that way to me.
- No, for real.
Nah.
Nah, I'mma have to rethink this.
I'm telling you, I got this.
Maybe she should be running this,
since you can't seem
to get her under control.
Jules, don't do me like that.
You know I'm down with you.
And what's that mean?
That means I would do anything for you.
You sure about that?
Yes.
Yeah, but you said don't do you like that.
- What about me?
- Daddy, I was only talking about you.
I swear.
You know what she did the last time, huh?
I know.
She disappoints me.
I would never do that.
And I don't like being disappointed.
I know.
I promise you.
Let me make it up to you.
What are you doing?

- You still can read, right, Roy?
Read it.
What is this, Mallory?
This is Dr. Jack Collier.
He got caught
having an affair with a whore.
You see that face?
That's his wife.
- You see her face all over this blog?
- What's this got to do with me?
Let me be a bitch on a blog,
and I'll fucking kill you.
[Roy] Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Oh, like, uh
Like how you did my aunt, hmm?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Zip me up.
You know, you are so paranoid.
I mean, uh
you still got those bugs you checking
every night under your car?
I know you better had heard
what I said, Roy.
[Roy exhales]
You know,
it's just fascinating to me how image
is so important to you.
Hmm.
What else do I have?
Baby, look around.
Look at this.
Well, you sure didn't give me this shit.
Huh.
You were a poor-ass teen when I met you.
Remember that?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Now I've earned every damn dime.
- Mmm, like the sweet little ho you are.
- [Mallory chuckles]
- Oh, I'm a whore?
- Mm-hmm.
If I'm a whore, what the hell are you
but a spoiled, brat-ass druggie?
[Roy] Mmm, mmm.
Don't you got somewhere to be?
Yeah, I need to go to work, so I can pay
for these damn shoes that you have on.
Because the man I married is a little boy.
Just go.
Just fucking go, man.
Let me end up on the blog, Roy.
Bye, Mallory.
Let this be your warning.
Fucking vultures.
[Mallory] Well, I became that
because of this family.
[rythmic hip-hop beat playing]
[Gillian] Good morning, ma'am.
Gillian, you won't be riding
with me this morning.
You can pick up my dry cleaning.
I did that yesterday, ma'am.
Okay.
Well, I don't want you to ride with me.
Yes, ma'am. But is there a reason why?
Is it something I did wrong, or
Bitch, do I need to give you a reason
why I don't want you to ride with me?
Do you need one?
You need a reason?
Let me give you one.
Maybe because you stink.
You smell like old hair grease
and mothballs.
You smell like fucking Jim Crow.
Your damn tears stink too.
Find another way.
Close the door, motherfucker.
You know what? Fuck this.
What, did you sit here?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Let me get on the other side.
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[engine turns over]
[music halts]
Oh.
What are you doing here?
Um, I'm sorry, sir.
Your wife asked me to get a dress for her.
Well, get it.
Yes, sir.
Oh. [sighs]
I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, I just I dropped my phone.
Yeah, I seen that.
But my wife called you
and told you to get that dress?
Yeah.
So if I call my wife,
she gonna tell me that she told you
to pick up this dress?
- Yeah.
- Mmm.
[Gillian] Mm-hmm.
Let's call her.
[Roy chuckles]
[sighs] Let me make
this quick phone call, then.
[Roy sighs]
Let's see what she says.
- Okay, wait, wait. Wait, please.
- What?
Please, please, please. I just, um
You know, now that I think about it,
Mallory, she never wears
the same dress twice. Never.
So, what's going on?
Did she send you here?
No.
- You setting me up.
- I wanted to
- You setting me up.
- I'm not setting you up.
I'm telling you, I'm not.
So, what's the game plan here, huh?
Mallory gonna come down the private road,
she gonna double back and catch us?
- Is that the game plan? Is that it?
- This is my idea. All my idea.
And if she finds out anything,
I lose everything.
Get out. You talking too much. Get out.
- Get out.
- Okay.
You're setting me up,
that's what you're doing. Get out.
- I'm sorry.
- Now.
But I wasn't.
I'm sorry.
[Roy exhales]
[exhales]
- [exhales]
- [phone unlocks]
This motherfucker.
Hey, I'll tell you what, boy
[clears throat]
[phone ringing]
What?
You think I'm stupid?
Yeah, I do, actually.
I ain't falling for it, Mallory.
What are you talking about?
You think you're really smarter
than me, huh?
Roy, that's been proven that I am.
Are you doubling back?
Now, why would I do that?
I know you're doubling back, Mallory.
You know what? I'm about to go
to the office. Get the fuck off my phone.
I'mma go do what you don't do.
[mutters]
This fucking idiot.
Your husband?
What?
Is that who you're referring to?
Why do you think you can ask me that?
I just assumed.
Don't assume shit.
[rhythmic hip-hop beat playing]
Yes, ma'am.
You supposed to be driving me, right?
- Yeah
- Well, just do that and shut up.
Yes, ma'am.
[rhythmic hip-hop beat continues]
[music fades]
[nurse] Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
- [monitor beeping]
- Uh..
Yeah, these chairs are not
- Sorry, the chairs are awful.
- How is she?
I really hate to tell you this.
What is it?
We got her test results back.
And?
I'm so sorry, Mr. Bellarie.
We've done all we could.
Wait.
[scoffs] Yesterday,
you you you said she was fine.
She She squeezed my hand.
Yes, I know.
But I can show you the CAT scans.
Last night, she developed
severe bleeding on the brain,
and the swelling started to increase.
What does that mean?
It means your wife has no brain activity.
The machines are the only thing
keeping her alive.
So what are you saying?
The probability
of her regaining consciousness
is about less than 2%.
So she's dead?
No, sir.
She is alive, but
But the machines are doing it?
Yes.
[exhales]
How does someone run over
a 64-year-old woman
and leave her for dead?
People can be awful.
Family can be worse.
I'm sorry.
Is there someone we can call
to be here with you?
She's the only one I would call.
Mr. Bellarie, you and your family
have been really good to this hospital.
I promise you, we have done all we could.
And that's all you can do?
Right?
I'm so sorry.
So, uh
are are you saying that, um
I should just let her die?
That is not a decision I can make.
Well, is there another way?
In my medical opinion,
we don't think she'll ever recover.
So you want me to make the decision?
It would have to be yours, sir.
Unless there's someone else
who has a power of attorney?
That would be me.
Okay.
You don't have to make
that decision right now.
You take all the time you need.
Thank you.
Just ring the bell if you need anything.
[door opens]
[door shuts]
[dramatic music playing]
[phone line ringing]
[Norman on phone] Jules.
[Jules] Yes, sir? [clears throat]
I need to move my wife from this hospital.
- Why?
- I need to move her right now.
- What happened?
- Yesterday, she was fine.
A nurse comes in here
last night at midnight,
and then now today,
she's not going to make it.
- Shit.
- I need to move my wife.
- Wait, hold on, I can
- I know my brother got to her!
I know he did!
What are you talking about?
I can help you.
- Motherfucker, I've gotta move my wife!
- Norman
You know what? Forget it. Forget it.
I'll do it myself.
[engine accelerates]
[phone line ringing]
[phone vibrating]
Yeah.
You did this to her.
I'm not up for all this shit.
Motherfucker,
I will kill both of your sons.
Both of them.
[dramatic music playing]
Listen to me.
Don't call announcing
what you're gonna do.
Do it.
[monitor beeping]
Now get off my fucking phone.
