Detective Arlene Branch.
Nice to meet you.
Are you all packed for your trip? I won't be needing you to drive me to my performance piece because I-I'm gonna go with my girlfriend, Virginia.
You told Dean you would go with him to South Beach? I love South Beach.
He thinks you're his girlfriend, dumb-dumb.
Bryce, you have proven yourself.
Not only as a Husser, but as a businessman.
Last week was the best the clinic's ever had.
We set the Coombses up to be killed.
And now Jenn has to live with the fact that her husband is a [whispers.]
murderer.
He killed those two people because of you.
I'm not gonna let all this Uncle Daddy shit get in the way of us.
And, hey, you have to talk to me if you have something you want to.
Roller's alive! He's here at South Beach.
What are you smoking? Put Dean on the damn phone.
Hey, look, it's Roller, Virginia! Hey, Roller! It's Dean! Jennifer: I don't believe this.
My husband buffed and polished a certain couple and Roller is alive? That is 100% on me, and I am so, so sorry.
Well, your bein' sorry ain't gonna change anything.
I-I-I know! I messed up.
Yeah, and it just keeps gettin' messier! Ooh, I could just kill you right now.
I know.
Are y'all sure it was him? It's him, girl.
He looked right at me.
Right, Dean? Y-Yeah.
It was Roller, yeah.
But he didn't say "hello" in South Beach.
Very bad manners.
What is he the Bionic Man or something? Well, what was he doing at Art South Beach? That boy doesn't know a Kandinsky from a Kehinde.
Bitch, stop showin' off.
Well, it could be some type of reincarnation.
O-Or transmigration, like a rebirth.

I'm fine with that.
- Let the truth be told - [Bells ding.]
- Oh, thanks.
How'd he end up in South Beach? Maybe he's got a side piece there.
Mm.
Maybe he wanted to start a new life.
- Maybe he's running from something.
- 'Cause I can never get enough - Maybe that's what I should do.

She was, like, this swamp-barking looney-tooney.
She messed me up.
Wait.
Captive? Oh, yeah.
Taught me a few things, too.
Women can do some crazy-dark shit when they want.
Let's go back to your place, huh? [Chuckling.]
You don't want to go to my place.
You always said you you hated my place.
I don't want to go back to mine and you're drivin' me crazy, baby.

- Oh, shit.
- What? - Des is takin' Roller to her house.
Virginia: Has she lost her damn mind?! Mochachina's right.
That's not a smart move.
What if he's trying to get her alone so he can kill her? Oh, my God.
Then he's gonna come for me.
Does it always have to be about you? Uh, yes, girl.
I'm a millennial.
- I don't like it.
- I don't either, Ann.
I know Des and I are having a moment right now, and I disagree with how she's handled just about everything, but y'all know I love her, and I don't want anythin' to happen to her.
No, no, no, no.

They were delicious, Dean.
Jennifer: Hey.

[Chuckles.]
Hey, uh, how's it going with the new system? I hate to give you props, since you tried to execute me and everything, but this this digital cataloguing you came up with, it's pretty dope.

Living a life that builds a legacy.
Yeah, whatever.
All I know is, when I click this tab [Key clicks.]

In Luke 18:27, Jesus tells us that, "What is impossible with man is possible with God.
" And the fact that my baby boy is alive and here with us today is a testament to just that.
I want to thank Our Father for holding Roller in His heavenly hand and guiding him back here to Palmetto.
Yes, sir.

Yeah, Virginia's my girlfriend.
We had sex.
- You what?! - Hey.
Yeah, and and and she had an orgasm.
She said she never had one before.
With anyone.
- That's my prerogative - Wait.
What? - They say I'm crazy - Dean - I really don't care - [Stammers.]
An orgasm is a release, Des.
- That's my prerogative - I-I-In order to give a woman one, it helps to focus on the clitoris.
- Oh, my God.
- I know what it is, Dean.
They say I'm nasty - But I don't give a damn - Hey, you be careful with this one here.
She's not as innocent as she looks.
Gettin' girls is how I live Some ask me questions - Why am I so real - What you doin' sittin' at a bar? I mean, isn't this the danger zone for y'all? Well, it's a Uncle Daddy party.
Everywhere's a danger zone.
- About a brother - This is true.
- Trying hard to make it right - Listen somebody is texting Roller about him owing them some money - Before I win this fight - and it seem shady as hell.
- Think it's an ex-girl? - No.
Mnh-mnh.
- You don't see the screen? - Hey, Roller.
Roller: What's up, baby? - Tell me why - Hey, baby boy.
Hey.
I don't know about all that crazy business earlier but I definitely want in back in the clinic.
- That's my prerogative - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's my prerogative - Hey.
What if you took over the MRI truck? Pass.
You know, the truth is is is Uncle Daddy wants me to continue running the clinic.
Solo.
This is bullshit! Got a crackhead here that thinks - he's more reliable than me.
- Jennifer: Hey.
Don't I always get shit done for Uncle Daddy? - Huh? - Apparently not.
Roller, it's okay.
Listen, boy, you ain't got the stomach for this shit.
You have no idea what I have the stomach for.
Mm-hmm.
I took out those dealers who shot you.
- The Coombses I killed them for you.
- Jennifer: Come on, now.
- This is a party.
- I killed them for you.
- Okay.
Can we not make a fuss? - Stop.
Stop.
- Come on.
- Things have changed, little brother.
- See, the crackhead's in charge now - Come on.
so what you might want to do is get used to it.
- Yeah, all right, there, crack star.
- Come on, come on.
Hey, monkeys don't sling bananas.
- When they ask me - Can you believe him? Hmm? Like he's the only one that can run the clinic.
- What's the greatest prize - I know.
But you can't blame the man for wanting his job back.
Humble and wise Like the great kings You know we're trying to recommit to our sobriety, so And queens of ancient times I don't really feel like we can do that - with you workin' at the clinic.
- They were noble and wise [Scoffs.]
Jenn, give me a break.
Noble and wise He who hath ears, let them hear these words Hey, you know what? I think I got something that'll make this better.
[Chuckles.]
Huh? Hmm-hmm-hmm.
[Whistles.]
What is that? - I upgraded.
- [Laughs.]
[Laughs.]
And you thought that was gonna help? How? Well, I'm y-y-you're focused on the negative of my job the fact I slipped once.
This This can help you focus on the positive.
You know, what the clinic can do for us.
For our family.
Nah, you just don't get it, babe.
That clinic's gonna be what destroys it all.
Humble and wise Ann: 16 17 Yeah, Dean! 18 19 20! What?! 21! Smarty Pants, Smarty Pants, Smarty Pants Looks like Roller and Desna didn't miss a beat.
- Smarty Pants, - Yeah, well, he has a thing for her.
By the way How do you know? My name is Smarty Pants Well, I know a lot about what people want - With just one glance - even if they never say it.
And not too many men had escaped Had escaped - Do my man wrong - Okay.
What do I want? - Make him believe that he's to blame - Your nipples squeezed while I ride you like a pogo stick.
They call me Smarty Pants Looking for a man All it took was just one glance - Call me Smarty Pants - Vini - They call me Smarty Pants - Vidi Vici! - [Grunting.]
- Yes, you little doctor! All it took was just one glance - Call me Smarty Pants - You play doctor with me! - Nine months later - Dr.
Ken: Oh! Wait! - Looks like the joke's on me - Ohhhhh! Listen, man, I tried.
There's no cash.
There's no stash.
We don't care.
You're late.
I don't work at the clinic anymore.
[Sighs.]
Fine.
You give us one last lump sum 150k.
Then we finished.
Give me a week.
You got 24 hours.
How do you expect me to get that kind of money in 24 hours? - [Engine starts.]
- Hmm? Bounce like this, what?! What?! Bounce like this Like this, like this What's up, baby? Let's have a dance.
Come on.
My feet hurt, Roller! You know, I stopped by the crib a little earlier, and, uh seems like all my funds were depleted.
You know what happened to that stash? - Though I'll probably go too far - The cops said the Coombses stole it.
They They found it in their place.
Everybody keeps talkin' about these Coombses.
Combsey, Combsey I don't know.
- What I wouldn't do for a touch - That bit seems a little hazy for me.
- For a smell, for a taste - [Cork pops.]
Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Give me a chair! - Hurry up! - Come on! Come on! Sit here.
- Uncle Daddy: Hey, hey! - You okay? All right, hey, hey! What's going on here?! Hey! [Groans.]
Come on, now.
Give Give him some space.
[Exhales deeply.]
I-It just, uh It came to me who shot me.
I-I-It wasn't the Coombses.
Oh, Jesus.
Toby, my pills! Uncle Daddy: The hell you talkin' about? The two people who broke into my house.
One of them tried to strangle me and then drown me in the pool.
When that didn't work, the other one shot me in the chest.
Yep, that's right.
It was the Russians.
What? They wanted in on the pill business, and they thought it'd weaken us.
So they put a hit out on me.
Son, if you pointin' fingers, you better be specific.
Oh, it was the twins.
You mean them ones with the tracksuits? Mm-hmm.
That's right.
Russians startin' some shit with us? This ain't good.
Everyone leave! This a private situation.
All right, you heard the man! Get out of here! Party's over! [People murmuring.]
[Sighs.]
He is psychotic.
Messin' with us this whole time.
We need to take that boy out, y'all.
We got to figure out why Roller is saying that those two Russian boys tried to kill him.
They got to have something on him.
He's been gettin' texts about money.
Maybe it's from them.
You know, I'm pretty sure they run the 24-hour check-cashing on Canal.
Mm.
The Liberian one.
Yes, Virginia, the Russian twins run the Liberian Check Cashing.
Siberian Crown Check Cashing.
Correct.
Yeah.
I went there to cash social security checks that I "liberated" from the seniors.
I mean, for a while, my picture was posted there.
It's down now.
Desna! Yes, baby, what is it? Something bad is gonna happen.
Dean, everything is gonna be fine.
No, no.
I-I-I have a bad feeling.
And you know how bad feelings make me anxious, - and I don't like being anxious.
- We got to go.
Because my my palms get sweaty, and I get gas.
- Everything is gonna be fine.
- You're not listening! I said some something bad, Des! Okay, Dean.
Come on, baby.
Let's get you in the car.
[Groans.]
Come on, come on, come on.
Let's get you in the car.
Get in the van with Virginia.
Come on.
He's startin' to spin out.
I'ma need y'all to get us home, and then I'ma need y'all to do a run to the check-cashing place.
- Got it.
- Sure.
Yeah, understood.
We'll be in touch.
- [Cellphone beeps.]
- Georgia wants to talk it over.
They'll get back to us in a few hours.
Why are we waitin' on them for? We handle this, Husser-style, like we always do.
No, no, no, no, Georgia runs things below the Mason-Dixon Line.
You don't cross them.
You do, and it'll be your last time.
Uncle Daddy this was an attack on the family.
Yeah, I know.
No one said anything about abortin'.
They could come back with a green light.
Yeah, well, and if they do, don't you worry.
We'll be ready.
[Cellphone rings.]
[Beeps.]
[Singing in Russian.]
Excuse me.
Have you seen this man? Why? You cops? We're not, but we could call them on you.
Here, let's see your dye job needs a touch-up.
I can hear the Minnesota dialect in your vowels, and you don't seem like someone who would ever work in a check-cashing establishment.
Preach.
Unless, of course, you need to be in the employ of someone who doesn't ask questions and pays you under the table.
Who are you running from, girl? What do you want? Yeah, Roller used to come in here.
Go on.
He'd come in the 7th of every month and give me 30k.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks for the info.
So far, everything seems legit.
Yep.
How's Dean doing? He's doing better.
Just keep looking.
I was looking looking for someone special.
Thought I found her, thought we found each other.
- We had amazing sex - Hmm? and then she blew me off.
Not now, Ken.
I called you three times last night.
I know.
Your recitation of "When Doves Cry" filled up my voicemail box.
Look for anything that would've been before Roller got shot.
Obviously, the invoices would've stopped after.
Look, if you're not interested, just let me know.
I-I can handle it with vodka and antidepressants and Dude you're playin' yourself.
Wait, wait, wait.
I don't remember a "TIGEL Pharmaceuticals.
" That's "legit" spelled backwards.
This is Roller's ass.
See if you can find other invoices for them.
If I'm right, he created a fake company on the books.
- Okay.
- Here's more TIGEL.
Ann, call the number.
Hey, I found some, too.
Oh, they date back months.
[Cellphone dialing.]
[Ringing, out-of-service tone.]
Number not in service.
This is how he was paying them.
He invoiced a fake supplier, but he was taking the money from the clinic.
[Cellphone rings.]
What, Mom? What's this about you being way into Molly? With your allergies, you shouldn't be doing MDMA.
No, Mom, I said Polly.
- [Gasps.]
- Polly, Schmolly.
Oh, my God, Mom.
What are you doing? This is a ridiculous conversation - [Laughs.]
- [Door opens, closes.]
Okay.
Stop it! Really? Dr.
Ken? Shut up.
Y'all Y'all it was so good.
[Laughs.]
Okay.
Enough.
Okay.
Yes.
Why would Roller need to embezzle money from the clinic? Because of them Russians.
Obviously, they got something on him.
Okay.
Well, you need to go to Uncle Daddy with that, because he will punish that boy, and you'll be safe.
Pol, it's tricky.
We gotta play this just right.
Hey.
Sorry I had to be at that family meeting all night.
Could've left.
It's fine.
We just gotta get home and change clothes.
Mm.
Sitter get the kids off to school all right? Yeah.
Hey.
If you want to talk about the Coombses [Inhales deeply.]
No, I'm I-I'm good.
Bryce, look at me.
How can you be good? You know they didn't have nothing to do with Roller's attack.
I know.
It's unfortunate.
I think I'll donate some money in their name to a good charity.
Oh, my God.
Would you listen to yourself? You never would've said something like that before.
You know you sound just like Uncle Daddy.
[Scoffs.]
Babe, listen.
Hey, hey.
Des is about to open up Glint.
I'm gonna make so much more money, so we don't need him or the clinic.
I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I'm really good at the pill game.
Yeah.
I noticed! And you promised it was just gonna be temporary.
Hey why don't you listen to yourself, hmm? You sound like a broken record.
And I'll be honest I'm tired of listening.
[Beeping.]
[Crankdat & Havok's "Stoopid Rich" plays.]
Georgia don't want no war, and I'm inclined to agree with them.
Altercation leads to tension and the police.
It's the wrong move right before expansion.
Bullshit! Hey, son! That the PTSD speaking? Let me help you out there.
Give me some sugar.
Here.
Take your pick.
So we're just gonna bend over? Hey, sometimes you have to eat some shit, all right? We'll get our revenge.
Don't you worry.
All in good time.
Taking the Russians out ain't it.
- You only pop it for the post - Bryce: It's for the best.
Last thing we need is the DEA sniffing around with us moving all that high volume.
[Snaps fingers.]
There he is! [Laughs.]
Hey, Brycey, I don't know if you heard.
We got to get our hands dirty in our business.
And when the chopping block be choppy Oh.
What, so I didn't get my hands dirty? We got no plans to take it easy You shot the wrong people, genius.
What good are some dead Realtors, hmm? Let's get stoopid [Both grunt.]
[Snorts.]
I'll kill you for real! Let go, bitch! All right, God damn it! That's enough! Get off! Get off! That's enough, I said! Get up! God damn it! Knock it off! God damn it! How many times I have to tell you, huh? Every critter's got his place in the jungle.
Now, you need to apply that to yourself, son.
You're the captain of the MRI truck.
It's all you, but the pill clinic that's Bryce.
[Spits.]
[Sniffs.]
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
[Snorts.]
I miss you, gorgeous.
Arlene: I miss you, too.
I'm sorry I'm working so much.
And FYI, I hate Chip so smug and condescending.
You're stressed.
You doing crossword puzzles? [Chuckles.]
Yeah.
Chip's also on the take from Clay Husser, makes no effort to hide it bugs the hell outta me.
Six-letter word for an alignment of three celestial bodies? Oh, what the hell? Syzygy.
S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y.
You're right.
Why are you so good at this? Because I's edu-ma-cated.
You really are the smartest person I know.
Shit, maybe you could help me solve this Realtor homicide.
The theory around here is that some rival dealers came in and killed them.
And yet, they didn't take the drugs or the cash? It all feels wrong, and I think Chip is involved.
He's got his hands all in that pain clinic.
Let it go, Arlene, okay? You don't want to be involved in anything the Hussers are involved in, trust me.
I'll call you later, okay? Love you.
You too.
I say you tell Roller Yeah.
what you know, and that way, you have the upper hand.
[Bells ding.]
I don't know.
Do you think that, um, your new boyfriend knew that Roller was stealing money? Desna Simms! You have the biggest mouth in the world! [Laughter.]
I like Dr.
Ken with his crazy ass.
Girl, you know the crazy ones know how to hit it Boom.
- See? - Amen! Go for yours.
- Get your man.
- [Bells ding.]
- Come on, now.
- Girl! [Laughter.]
Get out.
[Bells ding.]
Riva: We need to talk.
I just got word your crew been interfering with my check-cashing business.
Give me reason not to kill you.
Shit.
I like.
What color this is? Um it's Teatro.
[Stammers.]
I didn't know that was your business, Riva.
Well, now you do.
I was just trying to see what Roller was up to.
He said it was your people that tried to kill him.
He say we try to assassinate him? He did.
He sure did.
This is, uh How you say? bullshit.
[Sighs.]
I know, Riva because I'm the one that tried to kill him.
You? I'm impressed.
Well, um what I don't understand, though, is why he's lying about it.
You know Roller was giving us payment.
Yes.
Here is what you don't know Roller was working for us.
This story requires three top coats.
Turns out, blood is not thicker than water.
Oh.
I'll be damned.
[Sea gulls squawking.]
Shit.
Our Dixie friend is out for blood.
Move meeting to tomorrow.
We need time to prepare.
[Dog barking in distance.]
[Beeps.]
[Ringing.]
Roller: Whatchu want? We need to meet now.
[Beeps.]
Marina parking lot? I figured with people around, you wouldn't do nothin' stupid.
I know what you been up to with Riva and her crew.
Oh, you been busy, huh? Hmm.
I won't say a word to Uncle Daddy as long as you leave me and Virginia alone.
I jus - That ain't gonna happen.
- Wait.
What? By the end of this day, you gonna be toastin' up with the Good Lord, baby.
This is a bad move, Roller.
The girls know where I am.
They know to tell Uncle Daddy - if anything happens to me! - Get in the car! - No! Get off of me! - Get in the car! Come her.
Get off of me! [Breathing heavily.]
Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Some of the stuff that you said when when you first came back, it was real.
I know it was.
Get in the car, bitch.
[Gasps.]
- Sorry.
- Des! - What? Oh, shit.
Detective Arlene Branch.
Nice to meet you.
Are you all packed for your trip? I won't be needing you to drive me to my performance piece because I-I'm gonna go with my girlfriend, Virginia.
You told Dean you would go with him to South Beach? I love South Beach.
He thinks you're his girlfriend, dumb-dumb.
Bryce, you have proven yourself.
Not only as a Husser, but as a businessman.
Last week was the best the clinic's ever had.
We set the Coombses up to be killed.
And now Jenn has to live with the fact that her husband is a [whispers.]
murderer.
He killed those two people because of you.
I'm not gonna let all this Uncle Daddy shit get in the way of us.
And, hey, you have to talk to me if you have something you want to.
Roller's alive! He's here at South Beach.
What are you smoking? Put Dean on the damn phone.
Hey, look, it's Roller, Virginia! Hey, Roller! It's Dean! Jennifer: I don't believe this.
My husband buffed and polished a certain couple and Roller is alive? That is 100% on me, and I am so, so sorry.
Well, your bein' sorry ain't gonna change anything.
I-I-I know! I messed up.
Yeah, and it just keeps gettin' messier! Ooh, I could just kill you right now.
I know.
Are y'all sure it was him? It's him, girl.
He looked right at me.
Right, Dean? Y-Yeah.
It was Roller, yeah.
But he didn't say "hello" in South Beach.
Very bad manners.
What is he the Bionic Man or something? Well, what was he doing at Art South Beach? That boy doesn't know a Kandinsky from a Kehinde.
Bitch, stop showin' off.
Well, it could be some type of reincarnation.
O-Or transmigration, like a rebirth.
- Body Builder Week already, huh? - Something that fits like a glove - [Laughing.]
Yeah.
- Two people fallin' in love - Hey, Hank, yeah.
- That kinda stuff don't get old Lido Beach is crawlin' with 'em.
What're you doing here? - Thought I'd bring you this - I'm your fable cheer you up after our talk the other day.

That's so sweet.
I'm little boxes - Well, I'll, uh leave you to it.

- But it would sure be nice.
And take Dean with you to get a cup of coffee.
Dean! Come on.
Go with Hank to get some coffee.
Oh, okay, uh but I-I don't want any coffee.
Okay, well, go get it anyway.
- My pencil fell.
- Hey, Dean.
They're gonna have lady talk.
- Oh, oh, okay.
I'm fine with that.
- Let the truth be told - [Bells ding.]
- Oh, thanks.
How'd he end up in South Beach? Maybe he's got a side piece there.
Mm.
Maybe he wanted to start a new life.
- Maybe he's running from something.
- 'Cause I can never get enough - Maybe that's what I should do.
- Every time you huff and puff - Just forget about the new salon.
- And blow my brick house down Pack me and Dean up and run somewhere where we could be safe.
- [Bells ding.]
- Roller: Same old, same old, huh? - [Women scream.]
- You the big bad wolf Big bad wolf [Breathing heavily.]
[Chuckles.]

Where you been? Some crazy woman saved me.
[Laughs.]
I swear, she patched me up all together and nursed me, and, pretty much, I'm here now.
That's where you were the whole time, and you didn't call or nothin'? Yeah, but I don't want to talk about that.
Have you talked to Uncle Daddy? No.

She was, like, this swamp-barking looney-tooney.
She messed me up.
Wait.
Captive? Oh, yeah.
Taught me a few things, too.
Women can do some crazy-dark shit when they want.
Let's go back to your place, huh? [Chuckling.]
You don't want to go to my place.
You always said you you hated my place.

Virginia: Has she lost her damn mind?! Mochachina's right.

Then he's gonna come for me.
Does it always have to be about you? Uh, yes, girl.
I'm a millennial.
- I don't like it.

She said she never had one before.
With anyone.
- That's my prerogative - Wait.
What? - They say I'm crazy - Dean - I really don't care - [Stammers.]
An orgasm is a release, Des.
- That's my prerogative - I-I-In order to give a woman one, it helps to focus on the clitoris.
- Oh, my God.
- I know what it is, Dean.
They say I'm nasty - But I don't give a damn - Hey, you be careful with this one here.
She's not as innocent as she looks.
Gettin' girls is how I live Some ask me questions - Why am I so real - What you doin' sittin' at a bar? I mean, isn't this the danger zone for y'all? Well, it's a Uncle Daddy party.
Everywhere's a danger zone.

Roller: What's up, baby? - Tell me why - Hey, baby boy.
Hey.
I don't know about all that crazy business earlier but I definitely want in back in the clinic.
- That's my prerogative - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's my prerogative - Hey.
What if you took over the MRI truck? Pass.
You know, the truth is is is Uncle Daddy wants me to continue running the clinic.
Solo.
This is bullshit! Got a crackhead here that thinks - he's more reliable than me.
- Jennifer: Hey.
Don't I always get shit done for Uncle Daddy? - Huh? - Apparently not.
Roller, it's okay.
Listen, boy, you ain't got the stomach for this shit.
You have no idea what I have the stomach for.
Mm-hmm.
I took out those dealers who shot you.
- The Coombses I killed them for you.
- Jennifer: Come on, now.
- This is a party.
- I killed them for you.
- Okay.
Can we not make a fuss? - Stop.
Stop.
- Come on.
- Things have changed, little brother.
- See, the crackhead's in charge now - Come on.
so what you might want to do is get used to it.
- Yeah, all right, there, crack star.
- Come on, come on.
Hey, monkeys don't sling bananas.
- When they ask me - Can you believe him? Hmm? Like he's the only one that can run the clinic.
- What's the greatest prize - I know.
But you can't blame the man for wanting his job back.
Humble and wise Like the great kings You know we're trying to recommit to our sobriety, so And queens of ancient times I don't really feel like we can do that - with you workin' at the clinic.
- They were noble and wise [Scoffs.]
Jenn, give me a break.
Noble and wise He who hath ears, let them hear these words Hey, you know what? I think I got something that'll make this better.
[Chuckles.]
Huh? Hmm-hmm-hmm.
[Whistles.]
What is that? - I upgraded.
- [Laughs.]
[Laughs.]
And you thought that was gonna help? How? Well, I'm y-y-you're focused on the negative of my job the fact I slipped once.
This This can help you focus on the positive.
You know, what the clinic can do for us.
For our family.
Nah, you just don't get it, babe.
That clinic's gonna be what destroys it all.
Humble and wise Ann: 16 17 Yeah, Dean! 18 19 20! What?! 21! Smarty Pants, Smarty Pants, Smarty Pants Looks like Roller and Desna didn't miss a beat.
- Smarty Pants, - Yeah, well, he has a thing for her.
By the way How do you know? My name is Smarty Pants Well, I know a lot about what people want - With just one glance - even if they never say it.
And not too many men had escaped Had escaped - Do my man wrong - Okay.
What do I want? - Make him believe that he's to blame - Your nipples squeezed while I ride you like a pogo stick.
They call me Smarty Pants Looking for a man All it took was just one glance - Call me Smarty Pants - Vini - They call me Smarty Pants - Vidi Vici! - [Grunting.]
- Yes, you little doctor! All it took was just one glance - Call me Smarty Pants - You play doctor with me! - Nine months later - Dr.
Ken: Oh! Wait! - Looks like the joke's on me - Ohhhhh! Listen, man, I tried.
There's no cash.
There's no stash.
We don't care.
You're late.
I don't work at the clinic anymore.
[Sighs.]
Fine.
You give us one last lump sum 150k.
Then we finished.
Give me a week.
You got 24 hours.
How do you expect me to get that kind of money in 24 hours? - [Engine starts.]
- Hmm? Bounce like this, what?! What?! Bounce like this Like this, like this What's up, baby? Let's have a dance.
Come on.
My feet hurt, Roller! You know, I stopped by the crib a little earlier, and, uh seems like all my funds were depleted.
You know what happened to that stash? - Though I'll probably go too far - The cops said the Coombses stole it.
They They found it in their place.
Everybody keeps talkin' about these Coombses.
Combsey, Combsey I don't know.
- What I wouldn't do for a touch - That bit seems a little hazy for me.
- For a smell, for a taste - [Cork pops.]
Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Give me a chair! - Hurry up! - Come on! Come on! Sit here.
- Uncle Daddy: Hey, hey! - You okay? All right, hey, hey! What's going on here?! Hey! [Groans.]
Come on, now.
Give Give him some space.
[Exhales deeply.]
I-It just, uh It came to me who shot me.
I-I-It wasn't the Coombses.
Oh, Jesus.
Toby, my pills! Uncle Daddy: The hell you talkin' about? The two people who broke into my house.
One of them tried to strangle me and then drown me in the pool.
When that didn't work, the other one shot me in the chest.
Yep, that's right.
It was the Russians.
What? They wanted in on the pill business, and they thought it'd weaken us.
So they put a hit out on me.
Son, if you pointin' fingers, you better be specific.
Oh, it was the twins.
You mean them ones with the tracksuits? Mm-hmm.
That's right.
Russians startin' some shit with us? This ain't good.
Everyone leave! This a private situation.
All right, you heard the man! Get out of here! Party's over! [People murmuring.]
[Sighs.]
He is psychotic.
Messin' with us this whole time.
We need to take that boy out, y'all.
We got to figure out why Roller is saying that those two Russian boys tried to kill him.
They got to have something on him.
He's been gettin' texts about money.
Maybe it's from them.
You know, I'm pretty sure they run the 24-hour check-cashing on Canal.
Mm.
The Liberian one.
Yes, Virginia, the Russian twins run the Liberian Check Cashing.
Siberian Crown Check Cashing.
Correct.
Yeah.
I went there to cash social security checks that I "liberated" from the seniors.
I mean, for a while, my picture was posted there.
It's down now.
Desna! Yes, baby, what is it? Something bad is gonna happen.
Dean, everything is gonna be fine.
No, no.
I-I-I have a bad feeling.
And you know how bad feelings make me anxious, - and I don't like being anxious.
- We got to go.
Because my my palms get sweaty, and I get gas.
- Everything is gonna be fine.
- You're not listening! I said some something bad, Des! Okay, Dean.
Come on, baby.
Let's get you in the car.
[Groans.]
Come on, come on, come on.
Let's get you in the car.
Get in the van with Virginia.
Come on.
He's startin' to spin out.
I'ma need y'all to get us home, and then I'ma need y'all to do a run to the check-cashing place.
- Got it.
- Sure.
Yeah, understood.
We'll be in touch.
- [Cellphone beeps.]
- Georgia wants to talk it over.
They'll get back to us in a few hours.
Why are we waitin' on them for? We handle this, Husser-style, like we always do.
No, no, no, no, Georgia runs things below the Mason-Dixon Line.
You don't cross them.
You do, and it'll be your last time.
Uncle Daddy this was an attack on the family.
Yeah, I know.
No one said anything about abortin'.
They could come back with a green light.
Yeah, well, and if they do, don't you worry.
We'll be ready.
[Cellphone rings.]
[Beeps.]
[Singing in Russian.]
Excuse me.
Have you seen this man? Why? You cops? We're not, but we could call them on you.
Here, let's see your dye job needs a touch-up.
I can hear the Minnesota dialect in your vowels, and you don't seem like someone who would ever work in a check-cashing establishment.
Preach.
Unless, of course, you need to be in the employ of someone who doesn't ask questions and pays you under the table.
Who are you running from, girl? What do you want? Yeah, Roller used to come in here.
Go on.
He'd come in the 7th of every month and give me 30k.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks for the info.
So far, everything seems legit.
Yep.
How's Dean doing? He's doing better.
Just keep looking.
I was looking looking for someone special.
Thought I found her, thought we found each other.
- We had amazing sex - Hmm? and then she blew me off.
Not now, Ken.
I called you three times last night.
I know.
Your recitation of "When Doves Cry" filled up my voicemail box.
Look for anything that would've been before Roller got shot.
Obviously, the invoices would've stopped after.
Look, if you're not interested, just let me know.
I-I can handle it with vodka and antidepressants and Dude you're playin' yourself.
Wait, wait, wait.
I don't remember a "TIGEL Pharmaceuticals.
" That's "legit" spelled backwards.
This is Roller's ass.
See if you can find other invoices for them.
If I'm right, he created a fake company on the books.
- Okay.
- Here's more TIGEL.
Ann, call the number.
Hey, I found some, too.
Oh, they date back months.
[Cellphone dialing.]
[Ringing, out-of-service tone.]
Number not in service.
This is how he was paying them.
He invoiced a fake supplier, but he was taking the money from the clinic.
[Cellphone rings.]
What, Mom? What's this about you being way into Molly? With your allergies, you shouldn't be doing MDMA.
No, Mom, I said Polly.
- [Gasps.]
- Polly, Schmolly.
Oh, my God, Mom.
What are you doing? This is a ridiculous conversation - [Laughs.]
- [Door opens, closes.]
Okay.
Stop it! Really? Dr.
Ken? Shut up.
Y'all Y'all it was so good.
[Laughs.]
Okay.
Enough.
Okay.
Yes.
Why would Roller need to embezzle money from the clinic? Because of them Russians.
Obviously, they got something on him.
Okay.
Well, you need to go to Uncle Daddy with that, because he will punish that boy, and you'll be safe.
Pol, it's tricky.
We gotta play this just right.
Hey.
Sorry I had to be at that family meeting all night.
Could've left.
It's fine.
We just gotta get home and change clothes.
Mm.
Sitter get the kids off to school all right? Yeah.
Hey.
If you want to talk about the Coombses [Inhales deeply.]
No, I'm I-I'm good.
Bryce, look at me.
How can you be good? You know they didn't have nothing to do with Roller's attack.
I know.
It's unfortunate.
I think I'll donate some money in their name to a good charity.
Oh, my God.
Would you listen to yourself? You never would've said something like that before.
You know you sound just like Uncle Daddy.
[Scoffs.]
Babe, listen.
Hey, hey.
Des is about to open up Glint.
I'm gonna make so much more money, so we don't need him or the clinic.
I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I'm really good at the pill game.
Yeah.
I noticed! And you promised it was just gonna be temporary.
Hey why don't you listen to yourself, hmm? You sound like a broken record.
And I'll be honest I'm tired of listening.
[Beeping.]
[Crankdat & Havok's "Stoopid Rich" plays.]
Georgia don't want no war, and I'm inclined to agree with them.
Altercation leads to tension and the police.
It's the wrong move right before expansion.
Bullshit! Hey, son! That the PTSD speaking? Let me help you out there.
Give me some sugar.
Here.
Take your pick.
So we're just gonna bend over? Hey, sometimes you have to eat some shit, all right? We'll get our revenge.
Don't you worry.
All in good time.
Taking the Russians out ain't it.
- You only pop it for the post - Bryce: It's for the best.
Last thing we need is the DEA sniffing around with us moving all that high volume.
[Snaps fingers.]
There he is! [Laughs.]
Hey, Brycey, I don't know if you heard.
We got to get our hands dirty in our business.
And when the chopping block be choppy Oh.
What, so I didn't get my hands dirty? We got no plans to take it easy You shot the wrong people, genius.
What good are some dead Realtors, hmm? Let's get stoopid [Both grunt.]
[Snorts.]
I'll kill you for real! Let go, bitch! All right, God damn it! That's enough! Get off! Get off! That's enough, I said! Get up! God damn it! Knock it off! God damn it! How many times I have to tell you, huh? Every critter's got his place in the jungle.
Now, you need to apply that to yourself, son.
You're the captain of the MRI truck.
It's all you, but the pill clinic that's Bryce.
[Spits.]
[Sniffs.]
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
[Snorts.]
I miss you, gorgeous.
Arlene: I miss you, too.
I'm sorry I'm working so much.
And FYI, I hate Chip so smug and condescending.
You're stressed.
You doing crossword puzzles? [Chuckles.]
Yeah.
Chip's also on the take from Clay Husser, makes no effort to hide it bugs the hell outta me.
Six-letter word for an alignment of three celestial bodies? Oh, what the hell? Syzygy.
S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y.
You're right.
Why are you so good at this? Because I's edu-ma-cated.
You really are the smartest person I know.
Shit, maybe you could help me solve this Realtor homicide.
The theory around here is that some rival dealers came in and killed them.
And yet, they didn't take the drugs or the cash? It all feels wrong, and I think Chip is involved.
He's got his hands all in that pain clinic.
Let it go, Arlene, okay? You don't want to be involved in anything the Hussers are involved in, trust me.
I'll call you later, okay? Love you.
You too.
I say you tell Roller Yeah.
what you know, and that way, you have the upper hand.
[Bells ding.]
I don't know.
Do you think that, um, your new boyfriend knew that Roller was stealing money? Desna Simms! You have the biggest mouth in the world! [Laughter.]
I like Dr.
Ken with his crazy ass.
Girl, you know the crazy ones know how to hit it Boom.
- See? - Amen! Go for yours.
- Get your man.
- [Bells ding.]
- Come on, now.
- Girl! [Laughter.]
Get out.
[Bells ding.]
Riva: We need to talk.
I just got word your crew been interfering with my check-cashing business.
Give me reason not to kill you.
Shit.
I like.
What color this is? Um it's Teatro.
[Stammers.]
I didn't know that was your business, Riva.
Well, now you do.
I was just trying to see what Roller was up to.
He said it was your people that tried to kill him.
He say we try to assassinate him? He did.
He sure did.
This is, uh How you say? bullshit.
[Sighs.]
I know, Riva because I'm the one that tried to kill him.
You? I'm impressed.
Well, um what I don't understand, though, is why he's lying about it.
You know Roller was giving us payment.
Yes.
Here is what you don't know Roller was working for us.
This story requires three top coats.
Turns out, blood is not thicker than water.
Oh.
I'll be damned.
[Sea gulls squawking.]
Shit.
Our Dixie friend is out for blood.
Move meeting to tomorrow.
We need time to prepare.
[Dog barking in distance.]
[Beeps.]
[Ringing.]
Roller: Whatchu want? We need to meet now.
[Beeps.]
Marina parking lot? I figured with people around, you wouldn't do nothin' stupid.
I know what you been up to with Riva and her crew.
Oh, you been busy, huh? Hmm.
I won't say a word to Uncle Daddy as long as you leave me and Virginia alone.
I jus - That ain't gonna happen.
- Wait.
What? By the end of this day, you gonna be toastin' up with the Good Lord, baby.
This is a bad move, Roller.
The girls know where I am.
They know to tell Uncle Daddy - if anything happens to me! - Get in the car! - No! Get off of me! - Get in the car! Come her.
Get off of me! [Breathing heavily.]
Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Some of the stuff that you said when when you first came back, it was real.
I know it was.
Get in the car, bitch.
[Gasps.]
