[MUSIC]

Good morning.

And thank you, members of

the press, for coming out.

My name is Michael Banks, acting district

attorney for Wayne County.

I am taking over for former district

attorney Marcus Williams,

who has recently vacated the office due

to personal reasons.

I'm here to enlighten the community and

members of the press about the status of

this office's

investigation into the Vogel Syndicate.

We will continue this investigation.

The recent deaths of witnesses will not

deter us, but rather spurn us forward.

Rest assured, indictments will be made.

Let me make this clear.

We will not stop until the Vogel

Syndicate is eradicated.

Thank you.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC] Congratulations.

Cheers to that.

Okay.

I'm going to get some more drinks.

Let me know if you guys need any.

Okay?

All right.

[MUSIC]

Hey, Dre.

Hey, Auntie Ness.

You having fun?

Mr. Carter is sitting for a portrait.

Oh.

I may have commissioned a piece.

What do you think?

Oh, that's good.

And look, you got his good side.

I love it.

Oh, my goodness.

You know, your Uncle Mike

told me how talented you are.

But how old are you again?

Eight.

That's incredible, man.

This is really good, man.

Hey, Auntie Ness.

Can I have some more soda?

Are you supposed to be

having sweets this late?

What does Mommy say?

She says it's a party.

[MUSIC]

Go on.

Yes!

[MUSIC]

The kid's got a sweet

tooth just like Michael.

Ah, does he?

So how are you, Elijah?

You know, I'm doing good.

This is a much needed

break from the DA's office.

I bet.

I mean, you and Michael

practically live there now.

You know your husband.

He thinks this is how the

new DA is supposed to act.

Don't I know it.

How is Sophia taking out the long nights?

That's how she's

taking all the long nights.

Well, can I get you a drink?

No, I got to drive.

Sophia's drinking

enough for the both of us.

Let her have some fun. She deserves it.

You know what?

Now that my Picasso is done, I'm going

to have some fun too.

All right.

[MUSIC]

Thanks.

Good, good.

Okay, be careful with that.

[MUSIC] Hey, sis.

Spyin on me?

You caught me.

[MUSIC]

You know, you should see

Dre's drawings of Elijah.

Oh my God.

You got a little artist on your hand.

I know.

Add it to the collection.

[MUSIC]

Hey, what was that about?

I guess your man just don't like my drip.

Uh-uh, I know you.

What was that about?

Okay, if I tell you, you

got to promise not to get mad.

Promise.

[MUSIC]

Put that away.

You said you wasn't going to get mad.

What the hell are you doing with that?

I'm a bad bitch, okay?

I got to protect myself on the job.

Maya, you clean houses for a living.

And?

And what if Dre finds that?

Dre is not going to find it, okay?

I do not let him see it and

I put it up when I get home.

Uh-uh, no, not in my house.

Matter of fact, take that shit outside.

You trippin'.

All right, girl.

All right.

[MUSIC]

Oh, okay, bye, guys.

Thank you so much for having me.

Be safe, okay?

You're alright.

I know.

That was so much fun, guys.

Thank you for having me.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Be safe, all right?

Okay.

[LAUGHTER]

Baby.

Oh, look at the sleeping angel.

Way past his bedtime.

Mm-hmm.

That man sure does love Dre.

Yeah, he does.

Well, thank you so much for coming, sis.

Of course.

We have to do this more often.

You know I know.

Okay. Love you.

I love you more.

Be safe.

Well, hello, Mr. Banks.

You were looking

mighty, mighty fine tonight.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Finally, I get you to myself.

Oh, it's like that?

Well, I'm sorry, babe.

I just got a lot going on right now.

Okay.

Let's talk about it.

There goes my therapist's wife.

I don't know, babe.

I just--

With all this running around the office,

I feel like a chicken

with my head cut off.

You're always thinking about work.

Babe, we just had the best

time with some good friends.

Can you just relax for a minute?

Yeah.

I'll try. I'm sorry.

Just not in the mood.

I mean, Michael, you say you

want kids, but do you really?

Of course I do.

Look Ness-- I love you, baby.

But this is just not

the right time, all right?

With me being the new DA, it's

a lot that comes with that.

Well, baby, it'll

never be the perfect time.

But right now, allow me to

take your mind off of things.

Okay?

I'm sorry, say what?

Hmm. I said okay.

Um, not quite feeling it there.

Okay, baby.

Okay.

You know what? You

lookin' like you miss me.

I do. So much.

Hey, morning, Mr. Banks.

Sorry to disturb you.

We're just canvassing the area.

Morning.

Detective Roads, right?

Yeah, and this is Detective Jules.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Banks, did you see or hear anything

out of the ordinary last

night onwards of 10 p.m.?

No. Sorry, I didn't. What happened?

Possible homicide.

In this neighborhood?

Mrs. Wilkes?

Were you friends?

No. Just neighbors.

Mrs. Wilkes wasn't the

friendliest of people.

Any details?

Mrs. Wilkes took a bad

tumble down the stairs,

but the fall didn't cover up the

bludgeoning that her

skull and her arm took.

But we'll see what the

medical examiner says.

And why would someone kill Mrs. Wilkes?

Unless it was an intimidation factor.

Excuse me?

It's gotta be the syndicate.

The syndicate?

Yeah, that's the rumor that that's why

the last year retired.

Yeah, but keep that

to yourself, Detective.

Understood.

I guess their panties were in a bunch

after the press

conference the other day.

Just let us know if you see

anything out of the ordinary.

Will do.

Yeah, and make sure you

keep your windows closed.

Afternoon.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

We'll be fine.

I was working the late shift every night,

and so I'm taking care of the

baby all night, every night,

and then days too, all I do is take care

of the baby,

I'm tired.

I don't have anything else to give.

I feel like such a burden.

No, no, no, no, Cora.

You're not a burden.

You're doing great.

You're just learning how to

navigate life as a new mom.

That's all.

There's just so much I don't know. I

don't know how to do this.

I 'm letting everyone down.

Do you have any people in your life that

can be your support system?

You mean like Rick?

No, like friends or even family that can

watch the baby while you

take a moment for yourself.

My sister and parents are, they live

across the country, so...

I have Rick when he's

not working, it's helpful.

And Rick's parents are in hospice, so...

Friends?

They're not really an option

since I moved in with Rick.

Even if it was, they

live in the city still.

How did you do this?

Well, I don't have any children of my

own, however, just like yourself,

my sister had a very

difficult time when she had her son.

My husband and I, we've been her support

system, we've been with

her every step of the way.

Can you look into any outside help?

I can't ask Rick to do any more than he's

already doing, he's already working so

hard, I can't, how can I ask that of him?

Okay, Cora, look.

I'll give you a list of mom groups in

your area, and that way you can meet

other moms like yourself.

How does that sound?

How's that gonna help? We're just all gonna

sit around and suffer

together, that sounds awful.

Not at all, not at all. I know it feels

overwhelming, but

Cora, you're gonna be okay.

You took this big step in taking therapy,

take the next step too, okay?

Okay.

Alright. Well, it looks like that is our

time for today. I'll see

you at our next appointment.

Okay, I'll see you then.

[cellphone buzzes]

[cellphone buzzes]

Maya, what's going on?

Oh, thank God you answered the phone. Can

you please, and I mean pretty please,

watch Dre for me today?

Hey, well hello there.

What happened next door?

The neighbor fell down some stairs.

What?

Somebody hit her in the

head with a baseball bat.

That's crazy.

I know, it happened

right after you guys left.

You all need to move.

To where? This was the safest

neighborhood. I guess

we're just overpaying now.

Okay, well listen, I

brought you guys movie tickets.

Okay.

So check your email. Dre is pumped. He's

waiting to see this movie for a long

time, so you should have a lot of fun.

Okay, mommy needs her phone back, okay

baby? You gotta go to work.

I love you.

Mom, that's too many.

That's not, that's

just a lot of love, okay?

I love you, my little man. Be good.

I'll meet you at the

theater to get dressed.

Okay.

Alright, thanks, Ness. I appreciate you.

You're welcome.

[giggling]

I'm sorry. Try again.

That's not like him.

There's mama.

[phone vibrating]

Hey, baby.

Hi.

Hey, sis.

Hey what's wrong?

Just a real tough day at work.

Seems like it.

Alright, thanks for watching Dre from me.

Of course. I know you do it for me.

Of course. Love you.

I love you too. Be safe, okay?

Alright.

Alright.

[door opens]

Michael?

[door creaks]

Babe, I'm home.

Babe?

No, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, please.

Miss Banks.

Miss Banks.

What?

What?

Are you okay to continue?

Um... I think so.

Do you need a moment?

[indistinct chatter] Don't touch me, damn, I

already told you she's my sister.

Hi, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Ness, I'm so sorry.

[crying]

These motherfuckers treating you okay?

This is my sister, Maya Adams.

Okay.

Miss Adams, we're gonna leave your sister

here with Detective Roads,

and you and I are gonna step out.

You crazy as hell if you think I'm

leaving here with you.

Please.

She just...

Okay.

Miss Binks, did you get a chance to see

who broke into the house?

Clearly she didn't, okay?

Excuse me, ma'am.

You're interrupting the detective unless

you have any pertinent

information to share.

Yeah, bitch, I got

some information to share.

Okay, she was at the movies with my son.

All right.

What else can you tell us?

I can tell you that

Michael had a lot of enemies.

And with him being such a big shot,

y'all didn't really protect him.

Look, ma'am, stop calling me ma'am, okay?

Stop calling me ma'am, okay?

We about the same age.

Okay, enough.

This can't be happening.

I was supposed to be

having dinner with my husband,

and instead he's lying

dead in the next room.

Mrs. Banks, we understand how you feel.

Please, just find who did this to Michael.

Trust me.

We will.

Come on, okay? You're gonna come home

with me tonight, all right?

Come on.

[soft music]

Thank you for letting me stay, sis.

Come on, now. You know I got you.

Let's get you in bed, okay?

Yeah.

[soft music]

[soft music]

[soft music]

[soft music]

[soft music]

Hey, it's me.

I've been thinking about having kids.

I just want you to know

that I think we should do it.

But, I really need to get

some things off my chest first.

I'll make us some

dinner and we can talk.

I'll see you tonight.

Love you.

[soft music]

[soft music]

[soft music]

What the hell, Ness?

What?

Ness! Ness!

What is going on?

I saw someone standing there watching me.

Are you sure?

I didn't imagine it.

Ness, when was the last time you slept?

When Michael was alive.

Come here.

[crying]

I'm freaking out.

I know.

I know. I know. It's gonna be

okay. I'm here for you, okay?

I'm freaking out.

I'm freaking out. I know.

How about you come stay with me

for a little while, Ness?

What are you angling

for, for your child care?

No.

I'm worried about you.

I haven't even seen you

since Michael's service.

Have you even been outside?

What do you want from me?

Michael was murdered in my house.

And whoever did it is still out there.

Why are you mad at me?

Because!

Had I not been at the movies with Dre,

I would have been here with Michael.

Maybe I could have saved him.

No.

You'd be dead too.

Life just gave you ass whooping, okay?

And you're going down a deep, dark hole.

I don't want to walk in here one day

and see you hanging from the ceiling.

Oh, come on.

I'm serious.

I hear you.

How about you come and

visit me and Dre this week?

I don't know.

Don't backslide on me now, okay?

Dre's been asking about you. He's worried too.

If you can't do it for me, do it for him.

Damn, I forgot how annoying you are.

Compromise.

Compromise.

How about you and Dre can come over here?

How about you and me? I'm sorry. We can have some family time.

Good.

That'd give me a reason

to clean this place up.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

It's you being you.

I'm not crazy.

There was somebody watching.

Too bad you don't have no cameras to prove it.

Great. That a do.

Hey, Elijah.

Okay, yeah, sure. No problem. Come on by.

That's everything.

Great. Thanks.

That's a good one.

Michael's scrapbook.

God, he loved all of Andre's drawings.

You know, you and Michael

spent so much time on this case.

Yeah, we did.

Took over our lives.

What a waste.

So...

Are you sure these are all

the Vogel files you have?

Yeah, that's... that's everything.

Why is something missing?

No. Everything on my list

is actually accounted for.

Did these guys kill Michael?

Vanessa, you know I can't... I can't talk

to you about these kind of things, okay?

Elijah.

Look, Michael, he confided in me.

He told me he was working on something

that was so big it was gonna take down

the entire syndicate.

And now I'm confiding this to you.

Michael didn't register those files

before he was killed.

So that's why they killed Michael.

And that's why they

came back the other night.

I mean, but they left

before Maya showed up.

Which means they haven't been found yet.

Well, that means we

need to find them now.

You know, Michael, where would your

husband hide something

if he didn't want it

to be found by anybody?

I don't know. I don't even

know what we're looking for.

I mean, it could be another case file. It

could be a USB drive.

You don't know.

Michael didn't tell me.

We should start looking for that now.

Well, I have another client session soon,

so we're gonna have

to do it another time.

All right.

But I gotta get back in here soon, okay?

And Vanessa, you gotta keep

all of this between you and me.

Okay.

Okay?

Sure.

All right.

I'll start taking

this shit out of here.

I took your advice. I went to one of

those mom groups you talked about.

I actually really liked it.

It was really helpful. Some of the moms

came over to watch the baby this morning,

and I was able to take a

shower for the first time.

That felt so good.

I feel like I'm a human.

Rick's never happy, and I

think I made him more mad,

because now he came home and he was upset

that all of these strange

new moms were in his house.

I know they're strangers to him, but

they've been really helpful.

Dr. Banks, are you there?

Yes. Keep going.

Keep going.

Okay.

I guess I was just

thinking, before I got pregnant,

I had a career that

really mattered to me.

I was ambitious. I knew who

I was. I was a whole person.

And I gave all that up for this family.

And I know I love my daughter.

But honestly, this is the loneliest I've

ever felt in my whole life.

Dr. Banks, are you there?

I'm so sorry, Cora.

So it seems to me that you're going

through a bad bout of

postpartum depression.

No. Rick says that's not a thing.

I'm just being

hysterical sometimes. Right?

No. Postpartum

depression is very well a thing.

Okay. So what do I do then?

Well, I'll refer you to a psychiatrist

that will prescribe you some

antidepressants that are...

Drugs?

I can't get all drugged up.

I have a baby to take care of. Rick would

lose his mind if then I had to add drugs

to the whole list of things that I need

to work on. Oh my God.

Is that going to help? I don't

even think I can afford that.

Insurance covers it. And

you actually need this help.

Even if it would help, there's no way

Rick's going to say yes

to letting me go on drugs.

Cora, we can have these sessions where I

bill you and your insurance and I go along

with whatever you say.

Or you can actually listen to the things

that I have to say

and start to get better.

Why are you upset with me?

No, I'm not upset. I just... I can't in

good conscience sit back and listen to

your husband gaslight you.

That's not what's happening here.

Yes it is. He's preventing you from

getting the help that you actually need.

No, no, Rick would never do that. And I

don't know. I just... I know that you're

going through a really hard time too.

And I'm really sorry your husband died.

I'm like really sorry about that.

That does not mean that you get to take

that out on me in my session.

I'm just saying maybe you need to work on

your own stuff first, Dr. Banks, before

you try to help me with mine.

It doesn't really seem like you care.

(phone rings)

Get the hell out of here.

The cops are on the way.

Okay, so we'll run the camera footage so

we can get an ID on the suspect.

Do you guys know anything

about the Vogel Syndicate?

The Vogel Syndicate?

Yeah.

Yeah, your husband was

well acquainted with them.

So you know that's what killed him.

That's quite an accusation.

And what does this have to do with

tonight's attempt to break in?

Well apparently they're after something.

That's why they were in this house.

Do you have any evidence to back that up?

No, I don't. I don't.

Where did you get this idea from?

Doesn't matter.

Only if he wants to do her jobs?

(sighs)

Talk to Elijah Carter at the DA's office.

Just don't tell him I sent you.

Sure.

It's his office that has

to deal with this anyways.

Okay.

(phone beeps)

What are you doing?

Okay, look at you with

your fancy new camera.

Well it was your idea.

Uh uh, do not put your paranoia

off on me okay?

Hey Dre.

Hi Auntie Ness.

Cool camera.

We brought your favorite Mexican.

Ooh, okay hang on. I'll be right out.

I'm just glad you're okay.

You should have called me.

I wasn't about to call

and wake up you and Dre.

If somebody's after you, wake my ass up.

Next time.

I found out who killed Michael.

Really?

Who?

You cannot tell nobody, okay?

Okay.

No, I'm serious.

Okay, Ness I won't

tell anyone, I promise.

The Vogel syndicate.

Really?

Those guys?

You got any proof?

I mean sort of.

I mean Michael has some shit on them that

was going to take their whole thing down.

Okay, what was it?

That's the thing. Nobody knows.

Or nobody can find it.

But one thing I do know is that's why

somebody was creeping

outside my window the other night.

I don't know, Ness.

I think that was your imagination.

Maya, stop pacifying

me. I know what I saw.

You and your big words.

Look.

If somebody killed Michael over some

evidence they were looking

for and they didn't find it,

what makes you think

you're safe in this house?

You need to leave.

This is my house.

I ain't leaving.

Ness.

Auntie Ness.

Want to draw with me?

Of course.

I miss Uncle Mike.

So do I.

So, what're you up there drawing?

Nothing.

Nothing?

So what you just scribbling air?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Who's that with mommy?

It's mommy's new "friend."

Oh, really?

Yep. She thinks I don't

know about him, but I do.

But she didn't tell me.

Dishes are done.

What you two up to?

Please. Come spend some time with us.

What did you put under there?

Nothing.

Nothing.

What's this?

Oh, that's just your new "friend."

How about some screens, I don't know.

Yes!

You know what to watch.

Thank you.

Let me talk to you for a minute in here.

All right. Spill.

He's just some guy that I work with.

And?

And I didn't want to tell you because,

well, you know, I...

Hey, I'm happy for you. I am.

Really?

Of course.

Look, at least you're getting some.

Mm-hmm. Because you know about that.

Okay.

Get some for me, too.

I will.

That snitch.

Hello.

Cora, before you say

anything, I owe you an apology.

It's been really difficult

since the death of Michael.

And I took some of that out on you.

And you did not deserve that at all.

And so moving forward,

I can recommend you to some of my peers.

If you would like to end our sessions

together, I completely understand.

That's really kind of you, Dr. Banks, and

I really appreciate what you said.

You were right.

You're a doctor, and

of course you're right.

Everything you said, you were right. You

were trying to help me.

Rick left.

He left me.

And I guess it's good because it gave me

some time to do some reading on

postpartum depression.

And lo and behold, every

symptom fits me to a T.

I know you're here to help me, and I'm

here to listen this time.

So will you please help me?

Absolutely.

That's why I'm here.

Thank you.

[sigh]

[phone ringing]

Why are there two detectives asking me

about Michael's secret evidence?

Um, well hello, Elijah.

No, the guy that the syndicate

sent over to harm me did not.

Thank you for asking.

You're lucky you didn't.

I mean, well, I got

the intruder on camera.

Yeah, yeah, you got him on camera. And

fortunately for you, we

can't see the guy's face.

Because if we could, the syndicate will

be paying you another visit.

Damn it.

Listen, I'm gonna come over and we're

gonna comb through the

house and find that evidence.

I'm getting tired of people

trying to get into my house.

Vanessa.

No, Elijah. I'll look for it myself, and

if I find something, I'll call you.

[door opens]

Thank you so much for coming.

Hey, and who's this?

This is Otto, my "special friend."

Pleasure. Odilon Durant,

but you can call me "Otto."

Otto.

Yes, it's what the Brits call him.

But isn't it German?

I travel a lot.

Okay. Come here.

Otto, can I get you

something to drink before we start?

One espresso? Of course.

Okay.

You hate him.

No, no, it's just...

He has a lot of presence.

You hate him.

Look, if you're happy, then I'm happy.

Otherwise, I'll beat his ass.

And I'm supposed to be the tough one.

So what did you tell him?

I told him that we was coming to look for

evidence of the syndicate.

Maya, why would you tell him that?

I'm kidding.

Look, he's gonna help us find it, and

he's gonna be on his way, okay?

You think he'll be okay

with instant espresso?

He don't have a choice.

Exactly what I needed.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Better than Cafe Richard.

Condolences, by the way.

for your better half.

Otto.

That's okay. Thank you.

Is it hard, staying in the same house

without your husband?

[sighs]

Some days, it's not easy.

To be surrounded by the

memories and the things we shared,

it's kind of like he's still here.

You can be happy

by the time you got to spend with him.

The hardest part is the... letting go.

Yeah, there were so many happy memories.

Pardon me, I'm too blunt.

So, what exactly are we looking for?

Um, to be honest, I don't even know.

Well, Ness, that doesn't

leave us many options.

I mean, it can be anything from case

files to a hard drive, so...

I have no idea.

Are you listening?

Yes, sure.

We are looking for something that we

don't know what it looks like,

or even where to start.

Observant kid, that Andre.

He got my good side.

Yeah.

He's a bright one.

Just like his mother.

Should we begin our hunt of mystère?

Yeah, he's a lot.

He's French.

Oh, I forgot to mention,

we already looked in here.

Ah. Merci.

Well, we might as well take a break.

Looked through half of the house with

nothing to show for it.

Oh, not true.

You're being faced with going through all

of your earthly possessions.

Bravo! It's a big step

to make in your situation.

Ah, did I step too far again?

So, Otto...

What brings you across the pond?

Oh, it is work, of course.

So you clean houses?

No. I met Maya while

she was cleaning houses.

That was more of the

work, uh, intersection.

So what do you do?

A lot of things.

I'm actually really

good at finding things.

And I'm really good at

At making things go away.

Such a bad photo.

Makes me look mean, no?

Like I said, I'm really

good at finding things.

What a hiding spot.

Did you kill my husband?

Would an answer to that

question give you any peace?

Yes.

It won't.

Usually people run at

first sight of danger.

Michael.

Hello, mon ami.

I think you have something for me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Ah, please.

The evidence against the syndicate.

Don't play dumb,

you're too smart for that.

Maya told me you have it.

What?

You look so surprised.

Is that why you didn't hand in the info?

You wanted to protect her.

Oh, Maya, she's so delicious, huh?

So where is it?

You gonna kill me anyway.

Yes!

But I'm also going to

clip your wife's wings.

No, you son of a bitch!

Ah, that's the spirit.

So get up and tell me where it is.

[dramatic music]

[gunshot]

Your husband was brave to the end.

See?

No peace.

I don't take Joy...

in taking someone else's life.

Michael.

Your neighbor next door.

[bashing sound]

These were just jobs.

But for you, I can't

I can free you from your pain.

I told you not to hurt her.

Maya.

[crying]

[groaning]

Maya.

Ness.

Ness.

Come on, Ness.

Hey.

You okay?

You work for the syndicate?

What?

The Vogel syndicate.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Quit playing.

I heard it straight from Otto.

Son of a bitch.

Why would you work for them?

They pay well.

That is so selfish.

No, it's not.

Look, I needed that

money to take care of Dre.

And I was trying to

protect your ignorant ass.

The Syndicate wants that evidence.

They told me that if I get it for them,

they won't hurt you.

So you got Michael killed?

I didn't want Michael to die.

He left me no choice.

What do you mean?

Ness.

What do you mean?

He left me no choice.

Look, I need an answer from you, Maya.

This some BS.

Look, you had a week to think about it.

I didn't kill nobody, Michael.

Because of you, my

witnesses turned up dead.

Because of your little house cleaning

business and the stuff

that you shared about them.

Do you know what it means to be an

accomplice to murder?

Screw that noise, okay?

You know what happened if I told.

I'll be killed.

Look, I know it's dangerous, okay?

But remember, this is your only shot at

having a clean record.

I need a drink.

Look at this sleeping angel.

Way past his bedtime.

Mmmhmmm.

What do you want, Michael?

If you don't do this for

me, at least do it for Andre.

Screw you, okay?

I do everything for Dre.

I'm not letting nothing

happen to him because of you.

You know I can protect the both of you.

Protect us?

Like you did your last witnesses?

Okay.

Maya, this your last chance.

I told you.

I'm not doing none of that.

Okay.

If you don't do this, I'm gonna file for

sole custody, Andre.

You wouldn't dare.

Sole custody of Dre.

Nest, look, I need that evidence, okay?

How would Michael take his...

Wait a minute.

Michael is Andre's father?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Sorry?

Sorry for what?

For sleeping with my husband?

Or you getting him killed? Which one?

You think I wanted Michael to die?

I fucking love you,

okay? You're my sister.

But nobody's taking Dre for me. Nobody.

So you took Michael from me?

Yeah, but I saved you.

Oh, that's rich.

They would've killed

everybody on this street.

I made sure they didn't hurt you, Ness.

Michael was right.

What do you mean?

You don't deserve Dre.

Nest, don't start.

Ness, look, you don't wanna do this...

Chill out, all right?

Nest, cut it out, okay? Nest, cut it out.

Stop!

Don't tell me what you do!

Stop!

Ness, stop!

Ah!

Calm down.

Did you love him?

No.

It only happened one time.

You guys had a big fight

the night before the wedding.

Michael was really drunk.

And I was so high. Ness, I was very high.

And he still married me.

He really loved you.

He only had eyes for you

after that night, I swear.

That's such bullshit.

You might not understand, but...

it was the best bad

thing that I've ever done.

I got Dre because of it.

No, Maya, I do understand.

Because I wanted kids too.

I'm sorry.

They're gonna come for those files.

[somber music]

It's time to wake up.

[phone buzzes]

[phone buzzes]

How could I help you?

I'm uh... I'm just checking in.

So, did you find it?

As a matter of fact, I did.

What happened?

Long story.

See?

You sure that's it?

There's only one way to find out.

Oh, shoot, I forgot I

got a client session, soon...

That's it.

All right, give it to me.

Wait, wait. Before I hand it to you,

Elijah, please promise me you

will not go after my sister.

Maya?

Yeah, it turns out she

worked for the Syndicate too.

Vanessa, I promise you

nothing's gonna happen to Maya.

You have my word, okay?

All that trouble for

this little old thing, huh?

So what are you gonna do now?

Clean up this mess.

Okay, well, I'll call the police.

What are you doing?

Police didn't make it in time.

Elijah, what in the hell are you doing?

So, Otto here, he broke in

to try to finish what

he started with Michael.

Motherfucker.

You's a dirty son of a bitch.

You were right there

completely defenseless, right?

And then...

No, no, no, no, turn around and face me.

Starting to get real tired of people

pointing that gun at me.

Well, Otto here, he came

in, he pointed the gun at you,

and he shot you in the head.

He saw you there

working on your computer,

and then I came in, I ran up here,

and I killed him, right here.

That's it.

Why are you doing this?

Michael was your friend.

Was he?

Yes, we all were.

Well, he was a

terrible fucking friend, okay?

You really think Michael cared about me?

Or about you?

All Michael cared about

was being the next DA.

You think he shed a single tear when the

last DA had to step down?

No.

And who do you think

orchestrated all of that?

It was me.

We were running around. You saw it.

We were chasing the Vogel Syndicate

and wasting our lives doing it.

So when they offered me

a lifeline and a way out,

I took it.

And you know what, Vanessa?

It was the best decision I

ever made in my whole life.

That's why I'm doing it.

So dis--

Shut the fuck up!

That's it.

You smiling about, huh?

Hey, Cora.

Please tell me you got all of that.

No. Cops are on their way.

What the fuck is that?

Oh!

Fucking bitch.

[heavy breathing]

[crashing sound]

[sounds of struggle]

[gasping]

Die bitch, die!

[screaming]

[crashing sound]

[coughing]

Are you okay?

It's okay.

So the cops are on the way.

You might want to make yourself scarce.

Mm-mm. I'm done running.

That's what got me in this

mess in the first place.

So what are you gonna do?

Figure out I'd turn State's witness.

Take this whole

operation down single-handedly.

No, really, you gonna do that?

Yeah.

I gotta do right by Dre.

Will you take care of him while I'm gone.

Of course. Of course.

Thank you.

[dramatic music]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

Oh, no. No.

Tell Dre...

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Wake up.

No, no, no.

Wake up.

[sirens]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Elijah Carter.

Working for the Vogel Syndicate.

Unbelievable.

He killed my sister.

I'm so, so sorry.

Miss Banks.

Great job getting that confession.

With that and your husband's evidence,

you might have taken

down the Vogel Syndicate.

And Maya.

It's all because of her.

She did the right thing.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[somber music]

[peaceful music]

Same time tomorrow?

Absolutely.

[laughs]

Hey, Dre.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Yeah?

You hungry?

Yes.

All right. What do you want to eat?

Pizza. Pizza it is.
