I got to be frank.

This is fucking brilliant.

I mean.

So let me get this straight.

There's three owners of the strip club.

All females.

And they're millionaires already.

Yep. Not only that.

They're all married and neither one of their husbands know about this club

business.

Co -business.

I'm seeing Oscars, Emmys.

Wow.

I think we should have a drink.

Um, okay, I usually don't drink, but you're right. This definitely calls for

celebration.

I'll have wine if you have that.

Okay.

I mean, why even play with it, you know?

Let's take the film and get it screenwritten.

To me, they don't make this shit up.

Seriously? Seriously.

What?

I mean, I know some dope writers.

All of them swear they got dope at the end of that ink pen.

But this right here?

You even got me kicking myself in the ass.

Why didn't I think of this?

You know? Cheers.

Well.

A little strong.

I'm glad I got your attention.

You know, my husband seems to think that genre of writing is just for perverted

minds.

I don't know what your husband do for a living, but everybody knows sex is.

Yeah. It's been felled. It's joined and we've been felled the same way.

Yeah, my husband, he's the head prosecutor for the state. So he's the

we see on TV every time there's a big murder.

So tell me again.

Yeah, that's...

How did the girls get exposed?

You still with me?

Of course I know who your bitch ass husband is.

Gave me 10 years for some bullshit.

And now you ought to get 10 inches of revenge.

Hey, can I get one of these? Another one of these?

You're getting it kind of hard today, ain't you, player?

Last time I see you drinking like this, Torian hit a straight flush over your

four of a kind.

Yeah, that Torian always been a river rat.

I mean, who calls 500 on a good shot draw?

Torian.

Hey,

man.

You think...

It's been ass in Gorman's courtroom today.

Got another conviction on your record, like you always do.

And I'm sure Gorman is going to go with your recommendation and sentencing like

he always does.

Yeah, well, maybe you think I get excited often. It's going to be a young

brother to deal, but I don't.

I mean, some of them go away for the rest of their natural life.

Never once do they stop to think that.

It's two families being wrong.

One of them includes they own.

Facts.

These little dumb motherfuckers just committing all kind of crimes, man. It

don't make no sense.

Nah, it don't.

Amen.

And then what's crazy is they commit a crime once, and then they do it twice

like they don't know about the three -strike rule.

And then they want to cry about how the system done did them wrong.

I know exactly what you mean.

Yeah, I know you do.

They ain't going to do nothing but go hire somebody like you, try and plead

into a good deal.

I should get going and sell a handwork product.

Well,

let me tell you something.

I know that we are on opposite sides, right?

But half the stuff that you say, man, some of it I agree with.

They pay me a lot of money to find root cause of what you do.

One day, I'm going to beat your ass in court.

And when I do, I'll do the dummy on you.

I might just wipe my eyebrows so I don't get disbarred. But you know what I

mean.

Hello, how are you?

Hey, how you doing?

May I help you find a specific designer?

Well, actually, I was looking for Lee.

Is he sick or something?

No, actually, the owner opened a new store in Minnesota, and she went over

to get his cars.

Hmm.

Well, she definitely knows her stuff. I'm sure she had a place to open in no

time. Yes, she does.

Well, hopefully I can get some assistance.

Yo, all right.

Hey, man, I think we should call it a night. You should.

Get your ass on home to the Memphis.

I'm looking for your ass with a loaded ink pen.

You know what? I ain't even in the mood to crack jokes with you right now.

But I'll take care of the bill.

No, no, no. I got it, man. Go ahead.

Make sure that you make it home safe, because when I finally beat you in

I don't want it to be by default.

All right.

Y 'all know I'm going to see what little mama talking about with this note she

left me. You feeling?

Hey, little lady, I just want to let you know that your Superman is on his way

home from the Daily Planet.

Thanks, but I think that would be Clark.

It's all good. He's had a couple of drinks, so I just want to give you a

up and let you know.

Be on the lookout for him.

Oh, my God. Thanks again.

Look, I got a surprise for him.

I hope Remy didn't get the best of my man.

You got it. Good night.

Go.

You sure you want to answer that and say it's private?

And maybe the county caller. You know I don't play it by my money.

Attorney Arthur here. How may I help you?

Attorney Arthur here.

One thing I can't defend is silence.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Let me make it up to you.

Attorney Charles Arthur for the defendant, Romance Gordon, who is

today, Your Honor.

Good to see you guys.

You ready to begin counsel?

Yeah. Your Honor, my client has undergone several mental health

Now, the diagnosis from our doctor and the state doctor proves that my client

not mentally fit to stand trial for the crimes that he is being accused of.

Furthermore, it has been said that my client is suffering from severe

schizophrenia. Now, Exhibit A, this is the initial

police report.

That shows that my client was shaking profusely, heavy sweat, and his heart

was ten times that of the normal speed.

Now, the doctor who examined him said that he didn't even know why he was

arrested.

Just for clarity here, are we talking about the specialist or the regular

doctor? The regular doctor.

And when the police arrested him, they had him checked out before he was

Checked out before he was booked. Yes.

Well, thank goodness for due process.

Your Honor,

criminal homicide ranges from involuntary manslaughter to first

with graduations on the spectrum of change.

The factors which push the killing from one category to another include whether

the killing was premeditated, whether the killer intended to cause death, or

whether the killer acted on purpose when causing death.

And if not, Your Honor, whether the killer acted with criminal negligence,

recklessness, and a total disregard to human life.

Mm -hmm.

I must say, Counselor Thomas, you got a little bit of Baptist preaching in you,

sir. You have a tendency to go on and on and on and on.

But let me help you understand one thing. In my court here, I'd like you to

your point and move on. Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

Well, as we go through Mr. Gordon's long and extensive juvenile record, it seems

Mr. Gordon has been getting in trouble since the age of 12.

He spent plenty of time in the Wells Boys School, and he spent numerous days

the House of Correct.

And just last year, Mr. Gordon got a slap on the wrist for stabbing a man in

broad daylight.

Over 10 dollars.

Your Honor, let the record show.

that Mr. Gordon's records should be sealed, especially if they're juvenile

records. And if the state plans on using them, then they need to be introduced

so that the defense has a chance for them.

Counselor, you do understand that? Do you practice?

Yes, Your Honor, we do.

We're not using specific files from Mr. Gordon's juvenile record.

We just want to show the graduation and tribulations which Mr. Gordon faces to

prove that he's not only fit to stand trial, but he will be facing the

of habitual criminality.

And with that being said, the state denies any motion made by the defense.

Give me a second.

Now, even though I agree with the state on this matter,

when you have to file a criminal complaint, I would really hate to get a

conviction here and have that conviction overturned.

I hope everybody understands that.

Now, I expect the state to review case law, Victor v.

State Section 139, and the relevancy to undergo a third

evaluation. You understand that part?

Yes. Okay.

Now, Counselor, both of you, I really suggest you adjourn this matter for

further proceedings.

That's my suggestion.

Looks like August 15th at 9 a .m.

August 15th at 9 a .m.

Does that work for you both?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Court's adjourned.

Man, you know that Gordon is sick son of a bitch, right?

Now, if I can just get you on record saying that, I can book him a room down

Mendota, fill him up with Thorazine, and call it a day.

Yeah, you wish.

Well, look, change the subject.

What happened at the supper club the other day?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, it's like that?

Well, we doing something tonight, right?

I got no plan. What you want to do?

Terry Lynn, the boy, help you?

You know I ain't had a good poker game in a minute.

Serve it at my house.

Bet.

Look, just going to have you -know -who in there serving.

Mess around and get me in trouble.

Can't make any promises.

Well, your vital signs are all good, but there's still no sign of change for the

better.

So what does that mean?

To be frankly honest with you, if you continue to deny the suggested

you won't have much longer to live.

How long is not long?

Six months.

Maybe a year.

I was feeling fine.

And I still feel fine.

And out of nowhere, you're telling me that I could just die?

Listen, not all brain tumors have noticeable symptoms.

And in patients like you, where the tumor is developing in the pituitary

typically those undetected until an autopsy is performed.

I got a golf ball growing inside of my head.

You telling me that that shit is not noticeable?

Sort of. I mean, it depends on the location of the tumor.

And in your case, again, which is rare, the tumor, it isn't saturated in the

area with a lot of nerves.

So it's not pressing or even harming your brain one bit.

I don't understand nothing that you're saying.

I graduated law school, not medical school.

Okay. When you came in for the headaches that you were having.

Your test results didn't show any signs of transient ischemic attacks, nor did

it show temporary paralysis.

So what you're saying, you just prescribed me for nothing?

No, not at all. Look, the RELPAC that we prescribed was sufficient for the

symptoms that you were displaying.

And when it worked, there was no need to go forward with x -rays.

I got the best insurance that money can buy.

You think I'm worried about some glow -in -the -dark photos?

I asked you to be my doctor, not my accountant.

Look, I can understand how you must be feeling, but we are both professional.

So you know, just like I know, that sometimes our job calls for a judgment

This isn't about money.

I'd make the same call if Barack Obama was sitting here, and I'm sure you can

relate to that.

So you're telling me there's nothing that can be done to save my life?

The prognosis is serious.

And the outcome is generally poor.

English.

Please. Fucking English.

Listen, Mr. Thomas.

For people with metastatic brain tumor,

There's no cure for that cancer.

Okay, it's going to spread. Your organs are going to start to malfunction just

before they shut down.

Your brain is going to start to lose oxygen, and then you will die.

You're telling me that I can be in the middle of prosecuting a stone -cold

killer and walk in the courtroom with this puke all over my mouth?

Patients tend to see a decrease in coordination, fevers.

vomiting, even a loss of vision.

All of this happens without warning.

I don't understand none of this.

I just wish that you would really consider the chemo. He don't know.

I should have never let you convince me to come in here in the first place.

And now you're telling me you want me to sit up under some machine and let

radiation go through my body?

And speed up the process.

I don't know who more to put this shit to on my wife.

Smells good in here. Baby, I'm going to surprise you with some good shrimp.

Okay? Your fave.

Okay, baby?

Mmm.

Why are you home early?

Can't a man come home early and surprise his beautiful wife with her favorite

bottle of wine?

My man.

I know that's right.

I think this oven ain't the only thing that's going to be heating up around

tonight.

Sounds like dessert comes real good.

Real good.

So how was work, baby?

Work was work.

I still can't believe that Carl's thinking about to get his new client

and the same thing.

You two at it again, huh?

You know what?

Let's not talk about work.

I had a new house lady working out for you.

Baby, thank you so much for getting her for me. Well, for us, Reese is great.

She's refreshing, and she washes wipes better than I do.

Oh, so that means no more dandy golf socks and shrunken t -shirts.

Dang, I knew you didn't like the way I wash clothes.

You don't have to lie.

Baby, I love everything you do.

I'm excited.

Let me turn off this oven.

I want to meet you in the bedroom.

You right there?

Come on, hurry up.

If I'm ready.

Baby, I'm ready for you.

Baby, I like a job. I cannot get

up. You ready?

Get up.

Get up. Ain't it for some more?

And I don't know. I don't know what.

Hey,

thank you. Well, good morning, ladies.

Hey, good morning.

I don't know if I can finish, you know, where my knee is.

Well, I see, you know, I think you're getting along pretty well.

Oh, yeah. You have a wonderful wife. I wish I could be a family wife myself.

Thank you, babe. So why aren't you?

I haven't had many relationships, and the ones I did have, they was either

or bedded all the way.

Well, something smells amazing. What's that?

Oh, yeah. That's that family recipe.

That's their ruin. They're stripping grapes.

Yeah, well, that smells good.

Too bad I won't be able to stay for breakfast.

I got a meeting with the federal prosecutor and my new guy got a few

want to stop in on, so I got to finish getting ready.

Okay.

Well, listen, this tastes really good. I'm sure I'm going to eat mine and

I'm sure you will.

Have a good day, baby.

Enjoy. Thanks.

Do you want any butter or some syrup, Mrs. Thomas?

No.

But, um...

Let's get one thing straight.

What's that, Mrs. Thomas?

That.

That right there.

What's that, Mrs. Thomas?

Girl, this ain't the color purple. My name is Ikea.

I'm sorry.

It's the southern belle in me.

I'll be more mindful, ma 'am.

Yes. You did it again.

You know what?

I have the perfect idea.

Okay. To help you loosen up.

Why don't you take the day off?

You need no cleaning.

We'll have a girl's day.

Maybe do like a spa day.

Are you sure? Because I could grab you. My phone's low.

Your phone's been dusty this whole time. One more day won't hurt.

All right. Well, that sounds good to me, ma 'am.

We got this. We're going now. Come on.

You got to loosen up. Come on.

Okay. Come on.

Yes, Mr. Gordon.

Of course.

Absolutely.

Well, the doctor arrives in a few days, and the judge granted our motion, so

we're looking good. We're looking real good.

Yes, well, if they are wanting to go to court, then we will be very hard to beat

in court, and we'll be very well prepared.

We're also ready for that wire check, sir.

Yes. All right. Well, I will dictate how to do that to you very soon.

All right.

Thank you. You have a wonderful day, too.

You are a damn fool. I'm trying to give me a five. Take this out.

That should look something.

You got this for me? Of course.

Oh, these are cute.

You like that?

Yes. Well, if you like that, I think you really gonna like this.

Oh, baby, is this what I think it is? So, yeah.

I mean, you can come see me whenever you like.

You ready for that? I sure am.

You ready for that?

See this whole ensemble you got.

Yo.

So what are you saying she is now?

Man, this morning I followed her in the cleaning lady.

She done took care of some sporting goods store.

Got her all dressed up in sporting goods.

Now they got some class down here, so I just want to send that down, right in

front of her Pilates class.

So weeks of no communication with whoever this mystery person is.

Man, I've been doing this for some years, bro.

I'm telling you, these women are slick, but my advice to you is sit down with

them.

You know what? Just send me the bill.

I'm calling the dogs off.

Hey, hey, suit yourself.

I'm going to get that cash out. I'll holler.

Yeah, thanks.

Appreciate that.

Hey, girl.

Sister, my sister, you've been on my mind.

Sister, my sister, we are two of a kind.

Sister, my sister, I got my eye on you.

You always could hold a note. Now, if you would have stayed in church and not

some club, you might be the next Tony Banks.

Girl, bye.

I wish I would let somebody sign me for 15 cent a day.

Anyway, I decided not to come.

What you mean? I was looking forward to seeing you.

Girl, we just got into it because we keep liking bitches' pictures on

Girl, how are you and Marvin? Because I already know.

He knows that you're not going for none of that BS.

And I ain't.

So what changed?

Well, he started his little landscaping business, and he got contracts coming in

left and right.

Well, he should have did that a long time ago. He got mad skills.

I know, right? But you know how hard it is trying to explain to people that the

white man ice ain't no colder.

And what daddy used to say?

Ice is ice.

Ice is ice.

But anyways, I'm going to see what comes along because I want to see your new

spot. The pictures you send me look so beautiful, sis.

Oh. Guess what? Guess what? Guess what?

Girl, I hate when you do that. Now, you know I'm not about to get it. Just tell

me. Girl, JT got us a housekeeper, and she's amazing.

Super helpful.

Yo, spoil ass.

Spoke.

Seriously? Yes, I said what I said.

Sis, I'm going to call you back.

A package just came.

Exactly. Spoiled.

I'll talk to you later.

What the fuck?

You got to be kidding me.

You son of a bitch took my life away from me.

Ten years.

I could have had kids.

A career.

But it ain't over.

Because it ain't never fucked me.

It's always fucked you.

Yo, why am I in here, man? I ain't requesting no attorney.

What you doing here?

I hope you ain't come in here trying to make no deals because I ain't making no

moves without my attorney telling you right now.

You think that?

Actually, I am here to make a deal.

But that merely depends on what we say here and now.

So if I was you, I would choose my words wisely.

And I'd do the same.

I figured I'd start this off

on a good note.

Smoke? Mm -hmm.

See, that's a real good note.

Pretty impressive.

So what you want me to prosecute?

Look, no matter what that third doctor said, I got enough evidence to lock you

away for the rest of your life.

So if that's the case, then why are you here?

Because I like the style.

You like my style?

I'm innocent.

See, that's why I like you.

You're a good storyteller.

You know, Jack and Jill went up the hill.

The fetcher fell to water.

A few drips fell out.

Jill slipped and fell and Jack killed her.

You know that story, right?

Hey,

you got to be fucking crazy.

You the one who needs the damn doctor.

Look.

I'm going to prep you on exactly what to say to your doctor.

Because you seem like a good actor.

And if you do this right, you'll turn.

I'm going to redirect your case and fight it up under involuntary

And at that point, prosecution won't even object.

So what's that supposed to mean?

And what's in it for you?

We'll get to that real soon.

But just know you won't have to spend a day in jail.

You'll be sent to Mendota.

And when you get there, you'll be able to walk away.

You will also have new identification waiting for you.

Listen, you know if I get sent to Mendoza, I ain't gonna just be able to

away that easy.

The moment I walk up in that place, they gonna feed me with the same thing they

give to motherfuckers with ADHD and have me run around geek for three, four

days. Nah, that's not gonna happen.

And I'm gonna make sure of that.

Look, the signs will be present.

All you gotta do is pay attention and follow them.

So say I believe you, right?

Not trust you, but believe you.

What the fuck in it for you?

I want you to do what you did to your girlfriend.

To my wife.

And if you do this correctly, I promise you, it'll be a real nice bonus waiting

on you at the end of it.

Enough for you to start a whole new life.

So can I count on you, Mr. Gordon?

Damn, you want me to kill your fucking wife?

So the real criminals are dressed up in suit and ties, I see.

That's crazy shit.

But you know what?

You let me get one more of those cigarettes, and we got a deal.

Good.

Now let's get started.

So I can make it to my poker game.

Yeah, make sure you play your cards right, you crooked motherfucker.

I'm listening.

Man, I miss you again.

You miss me?

Come on in, brother.

What's going on,

fellas? This is my call.

How you all going to start without me?

Well, we've been waiting on you.

So, deal with me again.

Congratulations. Thank you.

That's all?

Get her out. Get her out of here.

So much for cheating.

Y 'all working together?

Yeah. What you got?

Small blind and big blind.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, Dillon, things up, man.

Let me see.

Give me something good, man. You've been giving me bullshit all night.

Yeah. Uh -uh. We got you.

We got two dogs. You already cheated.

Yeah. You want to pick one?

No, no, they work hard.

Yeah,

I like it.

I like it.

Yeah, I like it. I'm going to go ahead.

He just made it five to go. Oh, you don't have a chain.

No,

he just needed a chain.

Well, he was small block. No, I want to raise it five. Well, it's five to go

then.

Make it five. I'll call five. I'll let it happen once.

Can't happen again.

The fuck are you talking about?

What the

fuck is this shit?

Get the fuck off her, nigger!

Stop! Hey, what the fuck is going on? It's about women, man.

Women, my ass.

You're raping her.

Yeah, you busted up in here and you raped my niece.

Get the fuck up, now.

Move.

Your black ass is going to prison.

Get your clothes on.

Please, don't tell my mom.

Stick to the story.

You know, I knew I shouldn't have been fucking that girl in her mother's house.

I just couldn't take it.

That little bitch can suck it down to a parking bill.

Oh, yeah.

Tell me about me, you black ass now.

You raped my niece.

What? Say that again, we'll piece this up.

You heard me, coon. You raped my fucking niece. You still got that same

disrespectful mouth from yourself.

You made that little girl testify.

Brought me in court.

Then she turned around and committed suicide.

You know, I don't think God mind me killing your ass.

Wait, wait, wait.

I can't kill a fucking cop.

Tell you or not, I've spent 30 years of my life protecting the city from pieces

of shit like you.

Okay.

So consider this for me and Jenny.

You knew that she would do anything, anything to please her brother.

Even if that meant sacrificing my life.

But today, you're the sacrificial lamb.

Bitch.

You

seem

real invested in your situation, I mean.

JT.

Hey, Captain.

You still got a way with the lady, huh?

So everything going on between that cocktail waitress you were talking

Oh, man, let me tell you, you're doing all the right things.

If you even make a mean omelet, you know what I'm talking about?

Oh, shit.

Yeah. Making breakfast already?

Might be the one for you. I hope so, player. I hope so.

All that.

Checking shit.

What you working with?

Oh, man, don't let me forget.

I got to talk to you about something.

As long as it ain't work, I'm on this.

Yeah, well, you know, work is a whole other subject.

Oh, you just checking out?

Right, here we go.

Oh,

you need help?

Yeah, I got you.

No, no, no. I ain't nobody seen nothing for a day in my life.

Why you calling for that?

Nero respect.

You do no good with all of you.

I ain't like the car if you talk to me.

All right, I'll check, man. Y 'all ain't falling no how.

You look back at the phone. You know what you got.

Oh, he lying.

Oh.

Are you going to put in 10?

He colorblind all of a sudden.

Two more green.

All right. We'll give you a pass, man. Come on.

It's coming this way anyway.

Hello.

Don't talk about all this. Count that.

Just push all that shit in.

Don't look at it. I need another aim. No, he know how to push.

Oh, man. He's working with it.

See what you got.

Hey, man, you need another drink?

No, man, actually, I need some ice for this. Okay.

Give me some more chips, would you? I'll be right there. All right.

You got a rebar?

Mm -hmm.

I'm good. What's up?

What's up, T?

I didn't think I was going to see you around here no more. I can't believe she

really met your ass side.

Well, when I said I do, I meant it.

Or is that a crime?

So, what's this all about?

Or do I need a lawyer present?

Don't act like we back in the 12th grade, Jay.

You know we've been fucking around for over 15 years and you just ghost me like

I gave you hepatitis and some shit.

Hepatitis, really?

Yeah, you still the same old dramatic Kathy.

Look, I stopped because I married a great woman.

You should have said the same thing.

You know, during that time I was married to an amazing man for seven years and I

still managed to get into your needs.

Look, don't put all that on me.

You were the one who acted like you was partially satisfied.

And how our time together made you feel complete.

Okay, I'm not about to do this with you, okay?

I guess a little bit of love was really worth a whole lot of pain.

Nigga.

It

sounds

like my cue.

I'm about to head home to the White Coast.

He'll be right behind you.

What's up, baby?

Oh, no, hell no.

Oh, yeah, no, no, no. We decided to, well, play some poker at my house. Give

something to do since you're going to be working late.

You know what I'll do?

The only way to distract these dudes is if they give me all their money.

That is very true, but he already left.

And these dudes are going to leave soon in a minute because I got to wake up

early and go see the doctor.

Oh, no, not for me, for a client.

I can't wait.

Bye, client.

All right, fellas, let's get this done.

Let me get y 'all on your way. Who's that?

In that bread, man. Fuck it, it's over, man.

Fuck that bitch.

Yeah, right.

Absolutely.

Plenty of bitches out here, man. Hey,

Mississippi, man.

We're going to get a body here, man, for sure.

The fuck you and your husband are doing?

Damn, girl!

You killed it on a tip tonight.

You sure you counted all that right?

Mm -hmm. Girl, I had some good tippers tonight.

But one in particular was generous as hell, okay?

Well,

you know it's Thursday, and normally we have those big tippers. Look, that's

fine by me, because you know I'm all about getting my coin right.

Seriously? That's what I'm talking about.

So you know you made $200 more than the bar?

Yeah. Yeah, girl, if you keep this up, you might own this place.

Oh, no, I got bigger things in the works than being the owner of a bar, okay?

Okay.

Oh, girl, it's about time for me to get up out of here, okay?

What is that, a booty claw or one of these big pictures?

Uh -uh. What I got going on is a little more serious than that. The booty is

this extra rule.

I see. I got to get up out of here.

Fuck, man, what is wrong with this car?

Oh.

You.

Need some help?

Look, I have the slightest idea what's wrong with this car. If you can help me

out, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm sure if I take it with me, that's pretty much what's wrong.

Did you check the battery cable?

So, Mr. Gordon, tell me about those events that happened that evening.

Well, Dr.

Telford, as far as I can recall, I was at the spot

with my chick.

We were driving at the bar in Dean.

God damn, little mama.

Do I look like she's behind, Pip?

Hold on, Pip.

Pip is a non -contact sport. You know what I'm saying? I made a mistake, boss.

Nah, it's about to be a contract war when I slap the shit out your ass bitch

stick it in my face like that. You know she's with me, nigga.

Little tattoo ass niggas, huh? Yeah.

All right, gangsta.

I ain't doing too much talking, my boy. You got to talk. Okay.

I see.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

You want to come outside every day half naked.

Got me out here about to give to you. Niggas about to, man.

You got to tighten up, baby.

It's my birthday.

I can't be fine for my birthday.

You'll be fine every day. You're fine enough.

Take that shot.

Damn. Yeah.

Happy birthday.

Here.

Oh. That shit hit different.

Come on. It's my birthday. Let's get out of here. Okay, let's get out of here.

Go on, get a finally hit again, baby.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait. What?

Sit down, bro.

Sit down. Sit down.

It's my birthday. I'm trying to get me some, and you come up, sit down. I'm

feeling something.

I'm feeling something. You know what?

It's my birthday, and I'm trying to get some.

I'm not feeling this, bro. Something's going on. You know what? You know what?

You wasn't even last anyway tonight. I was really trying to go a couple of

rounds. I didn't know I invited you to the bar. I should have went and fucked

one of them other niggas over there. You mean I should have? Who?

Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Who?

Okay. I will give your attorney the results of my findings.

I hope you got good representation.

That's it?

That's all?

Damn, you's a crooked motherfucker.

Come on, bro.

Tighten up, man. Come on, man. Come on. Chill out.

Did you see the doctor's report?

Actually, yeah, I just got it, but I haven't looked over it yet.

Checking it out right now.

But if you're calling me, it must be good.

That depends on which side you're fighting for.

Neither one of us ever switched sides, so you already know the answer to that.

It's funny, I didn't see blood alcohol level in the discovery.

Well, that's why the system has intake, prelims, and motions.

Gives us the opportunity to get ready.

Yeah, well, I think we can work this one out. Like I said, get this man to stay

in Mendota, move on with our lives.

Look, I'll tell you what.

If you please involuntary intoxication, I stand silent and let the judge pass

his sentence.

So you're not going to fight my recommendation for the mental hotel?

Not this time.

Holy shit.

Times are changing.

At least something went right today.

What do you mean by that?

My people.

See ya.

Called me last night, said she was working late, but she was coming over

work. Gave her the key, right?

Hell yeah, I gave her the key. And the second garage opener.

But she never showed.

She's not answering calls.

She's not answering the phone, text, nothing.

Sounds like someone finally getting a taste of their own medicine.

Yeah, that could be possible.

She doesn't feel that way.

I'm sure she got a good excuse.

Let me set my man Ray over there by her place. Check on her.

See if she's okay.

She just doesn't seem like that kind of lady, you know?

Yeah, well, you never know with these women these days.

By the way, you never did tell me what you were going to say at the poker game.

Remember? We got interrupted?

Yeah, actually, I forgot whatever the hell it was I was trying to talk to you

about, but I'm sure it'll come back to me.

But I guess I'll see you later on in court.

I'm going to go ahead and schedule that Gordon case for sentencing right away,

all right?

All right, all right. I'm fine with that. Sure.

State just gave me two more cases.

Wish your people hired some more people.

Tired of being forced to take the overload.

Well, I thought it was all about the Benjamins, remember?

Shit. But what if they pay?

I'd rather sell Amway products, for real.

All right, brother. I'll catch you later.

All right. See you later.

No, no, no. This one's personal. You got time?

All right, I must text you an address. I want you to go by and check on somebody

for me.

Look, I did not know that that address was the address to a safe house.

And no, this one's personal.

Just go by and tell me if you see anything.

All right, the address is on the way.

These blogs are tricking.

I'm sorry, girl. These blogs, okay?

Listen, if you need extra laundry detergent, it's down in the garage.

Okay, well, when I get finished dusting, I will start the laundry for you. Did

you find what you were looking for?

Actually, I didn't.

I found it in a hard copy, and I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver it. It

should be coming any minute now, so.

Okay, all right, well.

I will get one started for you, Mrs. Thomas.

It's Ikea. Girl, stop calling me Mrs. Thomas.

Ikea, Kia, or Kay.

And I was thinking about stepping out and getting something so you don't have

cook. All right. Okay.

All right. Well, Kia, I like the way it rolls off my tongue.

All right.

No problem.

All right. Hold on. I got to take this off.

Hey.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Same old shit. This husband of mine, he's supposed to be mowing grass and he

mowing ass.

Marvin.

I mean... I swear, I'm so tired of starting over with the same man.

Because you're so lucky to have a man like Jervis.

I could just kill Marvin's ass right now.

Hello?

Aki, are you listening to me?

Yeah, um, I'm sorry. I was reading something.

Uh, what's your next move?

I shouldn't have never canceled my damn flight.

I'd be curled up in your guest bed right now.

Well, let me tell you what.

As soon as we get back from vacation, I'll be more than happy to have you.

Matter of fact, let me get this ticket for you.

You don't have to do that, sis. Thank you, though.

I know I don't have to, but I want to.

That sound about right. I do need a vacation.

Get me away from all this crazy shit.

What's up with old boy Jervis, my friend? I forget his name.

The one guy.

Charles. Mr. Playboy.

Girl, Mr.

Playboy done gave some chick some keys, okay? I think his bunny ass fell off.

See what I'm saying? That's what the fuck I mean. Like, everybody happy but

Like, I really hate this for me.

Oh.

Looks like my package just got here. I'm going to call you right back, sis,

okay?

All right.

All right, baby. Bye.

The Dirty D .A.

Sorry,

Your Honor.

Attorney Charles Arthur with the defendant, Romance Gordon, who is

The first time for the state, Your Honor.

Now, I must say, I've seen some speedy trials in my day.

But this one right here has been like NASCAR.

Mr.

Thomas, do you have any recommendations?

Well, given the light of new evidence presented by the doctor and the recent

blood work, the state would like to hear you, Your Honor.

Mr.

Gordon.

Mr. Gordon, have you been promised anything on this matter?

Mr. Off, I'm not exactly sure where your head is today.

But can you do me a favor and please direct your client to answer my

No, sir.

Mr.

Gordon, I've looked over your files. I've heard all the evidence.

And I would say to you that this is a very interesting case.

And it's my observation that you should be remanded.

to Mendota for further medical evaluation.

You understand?

And your stay will be as long as the doctors say.

Mr. Arthur, you understand?

The case is adjourned.

Man, you finally got one in on me.

Guess you're going to be going for an artifact of cops real soon, huh? All

right, well, Gordon appealing is the least of my concerns.

I was texting back and forth with Ray.

Oh, yeah? A new case you ain't talking about?

That's one you know about.

I had him go by Raquel's, but she wasn't there.

Well, she's a grown woman.

Maybe she just went out for lunch.

Well, I wish it were that simple. It just doesn't feel like it.

She said she hadn't been there for days, which makes sense because she's been

staying with me.

Huh.

Well, you know that old saying, right?

What's that?

The same way you get them is the way you lose them.

I hope it's that simple.

Yeah, well, I got another case I got to prepare for.

I'll be catching up with you later. All right. All right.

Hey, Thomas, did you hear the news yet?

Oh, what's going on?

They sent some of the boys over to Lieutenant Roundtree's house, and they

him murdered in his home.

Roundtree? Oh, that's fucked up, man. He was a hell of a cop before he retired.

Wow.

I'm sure the team got everybody on this one, huh? Yeah, they got everybody doing

crazy hours. They just found a body out in the park in Washington Park.

Is it related?

I don't really think so.

It's probably a trick gone bad.

Stay on top of it. When we last asked, I think we needed another serial killer.

After Dahmer, the city would go berserk.

Yeah, keep me posted. I want to follow this just in case they apprehend

Will do.

I'll make sure I do that.

All right, Malik. Catch up with you later.

All right.

Hey, good thing you're off for the next couple of days. Okay, super happy.

I'll see you in a few days, okay? All right. Enjoy that book.

Mm -hmm.

What the fuck am I reading?

That looks nice.

How was your day?

It was all right.

What? It was all right?

Well, me and Charles went head -to -head today, and he semi -won.

What do you mean by semi?

Well, he was representing this freak show that killed his girlfriend.

And our doctor suggested that it was involuntary intoxication.

I swear they shoved ten shots of tequila down the throat.

Not quite, but somebody did slip him something by altering, and he already

underlying conditions, so that didn't make it any better.

Well, you know Charles is out celebrating with his new honey.

No, actually he isn't.

Why you say that?

He's going to tell me he's back to the old ways. Pump him and dump him.

Did he just get that girl keys to his house?

Yeah, I did tell you that, didn't I?

Well, last night she put a no call, no show, and she been in my ass since.

Well, just because he gave her keys doesn't mean she's obligated to stay

every night. I mean, that's not his wife.

You see?

I'm sorry, what'd you say, honey?

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had some other stuff on my mind.

What'd you say about Charles?

I said just because he gave her a set of keys doesn't mean she's obligated to

stay there every night.

I mean, you reap what you sow, right?

Yeah, well, it's the same thing I thought.

Hey, look, do me a favor. Turn the news on. You got to move.

That is so sad.

Did you know him?

Yeah, actually, I knew around here real well.

Called it a lot of criminals back in the day.

Well,

I got to get up early, so I might as well take a shower and call it a night.

I know you had a rough day.

But it'll be all right.

I'll be in this zone, okay?

I've got to send these emails and book this flight for my sister.

Is she still gone?

Yeah, but only after our vacation.

All right, baby.

All right, baby, I'll be in there.

I'll be stressing like a mother.

I told you I...

It's

good, pussy.

So how have you been feeling, Mr. Thomas?

I was a little dizzy in court the other day.

Yeah, I figured something would change.

Your charts are showing a more...

Rapid spread than we anticipated.

So you're saying I could die any day?

Not likely.

But if you don't get the treatment, only God can count the number of days you

had left.

Guess I got to leave it up to the man upstairs like I did my marriage.

What was that?

Nothing. Just meant to myself.

So have you given any thought to what we discussed?

Well, actually, I have. What?

I'm not going to make a decision until after my vacation.

And that is entirely up to you. But just know, the higher the stage, the

harder the reversal.

Okay, I understand.

Hello? Yeah, I mean, you missed your 10 o 'clock client, but everything's okay.

I should be asking you that.

Okay, hold on. Let me see.

So you have a 3 o 'clock with the city attorney, and it looks like that,

Oh, no.

You're doing court on a misdemeanor at one.

Okay, if you say so.

But let me ask, is everything okay with you?

Okay. Oh, and a package came for you today.

Okay, boss.

I hope everything is okay.

Pretty weird package with golf balls.

I'm not sure. I got a call from this number. Attorney Charles Arthur.

Did they leave a message?

No. No message.

Did you say you're an attorney?

Yes. Charles Arthur.

Well, that's weird.

This is front desk.

So I don't know how it bounced here. Or could be someone that was detained and

allowed to make that one phone call.

Well, I didn't know that they still did that.

We don't?

I know. I was being sarcastic.

Thank you. You've been helpful.

Girl, you still up?

Damn near. I've been watching Tubi movies all day.

Girl, you still obsessed with that boy Damaris Harvey?

I'm watching him right now in his new movie, Unfair Exchange.

Well,

girl, check this out.

I just finished reading this book, and there's so many coincidences.

Like somebody told you I'm ethereal?

More like my life.

Okay,

don't forget to call me back. Okay, bye.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, before we get off the fire. What's the name of the

I feel like a mess right now.

Hey, babe!

Okay, well, y 'all be up out of here in a few days.

Going on vacation. Must be nice.

I agree.

All these criminals won't let me take a break.

Well, that's okay because y 'all about to have some much needed fun.

That's one thing I say I miss about being in a relationship.

What's that?

Companionship. They say you can't miss what you never had, but seeing as how

much y 'all are in love, I miss them.

So our girl's still a Jane Doe, huh?

You know what?

I feel like that broad was just a hooker that had a bad night.

I ain't buying that, man.

What is your gut, huh?

What's your gut telling you? There's something more to the story?

Yeah, it's my gut.

Listen, even if our girl was a first -time hooker, she would at least have a

fingerprint in the database.

You mean to tell me she never got in no trouble?

What if she was a nun?

Hmm? She had to get away from the seminary.

She was on the run.

Who knows?

A nun?

Man, whoopie, the only black nun I don't know.

And I ain't even buying it if she ain't never been in trouble.

Sure, I feel you on that, bro.

She hopefully something shakes soon.

Because we need to get Cap up off our ass.

Look, I love me some OT, but this is some monotonous ass shit, dog.

For real, like all these hours we working.

Man, y 'all the detectives handling the case? Who want to know?

Man, I was at the scene.

I saw the body.

I didn't know until yesterday that Rocky was identified as the missing body.

Rocky?

Wait, you know the victim?

Yeah. We dated a while ago.

Met on a routine traffic stop. We went on a few dates.

Wait a minute.

So does Rocky have a government name?

Yeah, named Rachel Ethan.

She was the MFOE.

She was bartending on the north end of town.

MFOE.

Told you our Jane Doe wasn't a hooker.

She's a student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.

All right, bro.

You was right.

What would make you think she was a hooker?

The time of death.

Let me call that, bro.

Let me get your badge and name real quick.

It's Officer James, 0025.

All right, Officer James, check this out.

I'm going to get all this information down, but let's keep this between us,

right? Because if Kat finds out, I'm going to have to bring your ass in for

estate.

Like I told you, she was staying with a friend up north.

She just recently moved to Atlanta.

Hey, man, we're going to stay on this. If we need anything else, we'll be in

touch with you.

Man, whatever you got to do, just catch the bastard that did that.

Clear.

What's going on with this motherfucker?

What the fuck's happening? Who are these bitches?

What you got?

Fuck.

Come on, man. Let's get the fuck out of here and call this shit in.

Well,

I say 5 o 'clock, I can get here fast enough.

Celebrating my birthday, huh?

That's good.

Finally, we can go on our vacation.

I know you're happy.

Of course I'm happy.

I'm in good time with my wife.

You have problems with your husband?

No, actually.

He hasn't said anything about going this year. I think he's still, you know.

Throwing some type of way about his little friend.

Well, the cute chick never stopped the show before.

Yeah, but I think this one is different to him.

There's something about her.

Well, I hope she's okay.

Yeah, well, she's kind of young, so maybe she just realized that it was

too fast.

Oh, see?

That's always my problem.

You never know what could happen. Maybe...

Things will work out in the long run.

Yeah.

Well, I don't have to be the court until 11.

Okay. But I got a few hands, so I got to run for work.

Reeve, can you make sure my jeans are pressed for the trip?

Yes, I will definitely take care of that for you, sir.

Thank you.

Now, is that with me?

I know that's right.

Of course.

Look, I don't know what we would have did without you.

Seriously, you're a huge help.

Well, you know, I mean, at this time, it's just good cooking. I mean, I can't.

Okay.

Well,

listen, your job is secured here, okay?

I'll see you later, baby.

Mm, I see.

I've been saying, hurry up.

Hurry up and get back.

Because you've got some more work to do on this vacation.

I know you've got a wonderful name.

And you know what?

I hope that you find yours, too.

So cheers to you finding your favorite.

Thank you.

What an ass.

Thanks.

Hey, we got something new, boss?

Yeah, something new and private.

Sounds like my type of cake.

You remember Romance Gordon?

Romance. Yeah, that's the one who killed his bro.

Ended up in the mental hospital.

Yeah, that's him.

And Charles was his attorney.

He in arm's length now, right?

Yeah, but not for long.

Supposed to be coming up on the day past real soon.

And when that happens, I need you to meet him there with the envelope.

Of course I'll make that drive for you.

Whatever happened with that white stuff?

I just stopped looking into it.

I figured if you're doing something, it'll come out.

Uh -huh.

I ain't never really agree with that cliche.

What's that?

What's done in the dark will come out in the light.

What's done in the dark will come out if you got the right private eye on the

case.

Yeah, well, shit happens.

So I ain't looking into it right now.

Do me a favor.

Meet me at the office supper club in about 20 minutes.

Don't forget to send me your bill.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Technology's a motherfucker, ain't it?

All right.

Dr. Miller?

Mr. Thomas?

Is everything okay? Your next appointment isn't until next week.

Well, may I ask the nature of your call?

Well, Mr. Thomas, it isn't often that I bring God into the medical world, but I

prayed about this, and he answered.

You might have just saved your own life.

Nobody does.

You just enjoy your vacation and take it easy.

When you get back, we'll start.

You have my word, Mr. Thomas.

I can promise you that.

Go away.

It's Milwaukee Police Department.

Go away. You have a piece.

Shit, come in there.

Wait, what?

It's Milwaukee Police Department, sir.

Oh, shit. Come on, come on.

How you doing, sir?

I'm Detective Will.

Is that the tummy?

We're the Milwaukee Police Department. The Homicide Division.

Oh, shit. Oh, crap. Please tell me that it was a client and not Raquel. Please.

Yes, it was Raquel. We found her body in the park. Oh, fuck.

I knew it, man. I knew it.

Fuck,

man. Pull it together.

Okay, all right. I'm sorry.

Just tell me how, man. She was on her way here a few days ago and she never

showed up.

And she's a client of yours?

No,

she's my... She's my girlfriend.

And we've been seeing each other for a few days.

Okay, but didn't you just mention that she had keys?

Do you normally give keys to women that you only know a couple of days?

She was special, okay?

She was different. I thought she was going to change my life.

Understood. Well, whatever happened, she sure changed.

Listen, I need to contact her parents in Atlanta to see what they want to do

with the body. You need anything else from me?

No. Look, here's a card.

You hear anything, saw anything, know anything?

Give us a call, man. I think he knows the protocol.

I do know the protocol. Thank you, officer.

We appreciate it, sir.

We're going to get out of here.

Come on, let's get up out of here.

When you come up out of that post, I need you to give me this envelope and

them off at the bus station.

That's all I need you to do.

Easiest money I ever made.

Plus mileage?

Yeah, well, send me a bill.

I always take care of you, darling.

Good to be here.

Hey, look, I got to take this.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

All right, talk to you.

Hey, buddy.

Any new news? Why you be asking if you're going on a trip with us?

Nah, man, you can tell her I'm not.

I'm, uh... I'm online looking for tickets to Atlanta right now.

Atlanta?

Where's in Atlanta?

Raquel's parents.

Jay, they, uh... They found her dead, man. They found her in the park like a

fucking dog.

Shit.

They got anybody in your custody?

Hell no.

They ain't even got no fucking suspects, man.

They came over here questioning me like I may be a goddamn suspect, brother.

Supposedly, man. Why her?

Well, maybe I shouldn't go.

Anything you need me to do?

You know I can go to Atlanta with you.

You know the DA came and seen me, right?

Who the fuck are you talking about?

The fuck I just seen?

Dude came, schooled me on how he could finesse the doctor.

See, if I play my cards right, you can get me off on involuntary intoxication.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that Thomas came and gave you this bullet?

I don't fucking understand.

Bro, he wants you to win.

He wants me to kill his wife.

He say the bitch been cheating on him.

I think you are full of shit.

I will see you in court after the evaluation.

Guard, take it back to yourself.

Bro, he also told me he's dying.

Get him out of here.

You's a fucking idiot, man.

Oh, no, man. No, no, no. You go, uh, you go with the, you know, y 'all go enjoy

yourselves. You know what I'm saying? I'll, uh, I'll handle this.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Man, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about what, man? You ain't kill her.

For the things I implied about her.

No, no, no, man.

I ain't worried about none of that shit. Listen, if the situation was reversed,

I'd probably say the same shit, too.

Listen, uh, Y 'all enjoy yourselves out there, man. I just want to get back from

Atlanta. All right, you do that.

All right.

There better not be no fucking cops in here.

There better not be these punk -ass cops again.

What? I told y 'all I...

I don't think we'll forget anything, are we?

No, no, y 'all good. But I hope not. I packed some extra sandwiches for y 'all

in the cooler.

And remember the alarm I set to your address so you don't forget, okay?

Okay, now, come on. I got it. Y 'all good. Go enjoy y 'all trip, okay? Come

woman, unless you want to drive.

Girl, let me hurry up before this man have a seizure.

All right, I'm coming.

Y 'all be safe.

All right, babe.

Okay.

Yes, I'm ready to get out of here.

It's love making weekend, baby.

But you know what, though? I feel kind of bad.

You think we should have still went?

Well, I asked Charlie if he wanted us to stay.

Babe, what do you think he's going to say? Yes, don't go on vacation.

Stay here with me.

Yeah, you're probably right.

It's not like he knows this woman forever.

But I will say it is an unfortunate time of events.

By all means.

Yeah.

So sad.

Well, I hope we find our people in Atlanta.

Good thing Charles is resourceful.

I'm sure that shouldn't be an issue.

Well, let's get this show on the road.

Let's go.

And play my favorite song. I do not want to hear none of that riffraff.

What day is that?

What difference does it fucking make?

How long are you going to keep me tied up like this?

You know I don't deserve that.

You don't?

When you passed the bar exam, you took a oath to uphold the Constitution.

You stood there and swore to discharge your duties.

To your client for the best of your ability, am I right?

What was I supposed to do?

The state produced a witness that said you raped her.

They also had evidence saying that the sex was consensual.

There was no scratching.

No marks on me.

No unusual vaginal rips.

They didn't lead me away to the state because I was appointed to it.

It ain't my motherfucking fault that the system is overcrowded with criminals.

But you can't go around killing people because you were treated for them.

They don't have misuse of words.

Now, only are you that effective at the council.

You're off to a stupid -ass motherfucking high.

Why not?

We only knew each other for a short period of time.

Don't watch your motherfuckers for long.

You and that.

So -called the act.

Popping all the little bitches at the poker club, y 'all.

Shoot.

You was a real playboy.

You had a different bitch area of the night.

I can tell you ripped up the whole thing, you know.

I see why.

Because I was a bad little bitch.

I almost didn't want to kill a bitch.

But I ain't got no other way to hurt you.

So you took her life to hurt me. Mission accomplished.

Now what?

Oh, now what it is.

You get to sit back and watch me destroy everybody like who you give a fuck

about. Is that supposed to be?

Are you hungry?

Fuck you.

I was gonna kill that little pretty bitch first.

Until I got done dressing.

Sweet.

The smell of that motherfucking perfume got my motherfucking dick so hard.

I had to see what them guts was like.

So you raped her, then killed her.

You are guilty of something, bitch.

I brought kale? Silly!

Attorney Keir Thomas.

That little bitch.

She got what the young folks call that wow.

That bitch got that skill, didn't she?

Yeah, yeah.

Things go like this and usually doesn't turn out good for the bad guy.

Well, people like you better be writing bad guys for a long goddamn time.

Don't you think it's time for somebody to rewrite history for y 'all?

Huh?

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm still gonna kill that bitch now.

But not before I beat the fuck up first.

Hey, ain't nobody got to touch old V .A. Thomas.

Because the monster that that motherfucker got going on the inside of

goddamn head, that son of a bitch won't last a month.

I hate to ruin little hitman plans, buddy.

My kid's already got one out on her.

Because of you.

It's getting too late.

What the fuck you talking about?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Talk, motherfucker.

We just had to wait till the 10 o 'clock news.

Oh, you don't want to fucking talk?

Okay, come.

Hey, sit tight.

Be right back.

Somebody's gonna die tonight.

Somebody's gonna die tonight.

Who is it? Amazon.

Thanks, Ms. Chiazamas.

Oh, that's so cute.

I like it.

It's nice.

Yeah, it is.

Nice and spacious.

I love it.

And it smells good.

I'm glad we decided to come out here.

Me too.

You needed this.

But you know that was a long drive.

Mm -hmm.

And I'm tired.

Well, I'm not.

I'm not going to read my book. Is that cool?

Yeah, well, you be careful out there. You know there's bears.

Well, baby, I'm a Packers fan. We ain't never been scared of no bears, okay?

That's funny.

Well, get your rest, because I need you up later.

Just stay safe out there.

Mm -hmm.

Get some rest, baby.

Hey.

Hey, hey, wake up.

Where am I?

I'm trying to figure that out myself.

It's maniacal. This is some damn house.

Is that really you?

I don't even know how long I've been here. I just have no real way of telling

time.

Well, Mr. Thomas said he'd talk to you early.

How is this thing?

Feels like forever.

What does he want with us? Is he going to say anything?

All I know is he killed my girlfriend and that cop passed me.

He's definitely a killer.

She's like, okay, well, I'm sure God doesn't know.

No.

I can't.

I can't.

Sheriff?

Yeah, I think my wife is missing.

Good evening, sir.

We have a search party on the way. Well, they need to hurry you up.

The longer my wife out here to swim, the harder her chances become.

Sir, calm down.

We're doing everything in our power to find your wife.

Please, just find my wife.

You got my word.

We got you, sir.

If you want money, I can give you money, anything you want. Please, just tell me

what you want, please.

I've already been compensated, Ms. Thomas.

Wait, how do you know my name?

How do you know my name?

Look, you won't get away with this.

My husband is extremely powerful. Listen to me. If you let me go, I won't say

anything. Please.

Just let me go.

You don't even know who my husband is.

Yeah, I know who your husband is.

Your husband is the reason I'm here.

Yeah, so I know how powerful he is.

But at the same time, what I want to know is, what was that book you was

earlier when I came and snatched you up?

You know,

I like to read, too, right?

And people think black men only read when they locked up.

Like,

you know, I really, like, read a whole platonica before, right?

Like the encyclopedia?

Yeah. It was pretty intriguing, too.

It was original from the 1800s.

Wow.

You have to be really smart to read a Britannica encyclopedia.

I think that

you're really smart, but this is a really stupid move. My husband's a DA,

I'm his wife. You have to let me go, please.

I mean, besides that, I think you're kind of special.

You think I'm special?

Yes. You ain't finna gas me up.

Oh, boy, you done anything!

You're trying to gas me about this move, but it's not gonna happen. You look

real good, right?

But I'm still gonna do you real bad up in here.

I'm not letting you go.

At all.

Wait, you like to read, right?

Yeah.

I like books, too.

Okay. Yeah, I like books too.

What's your favorite genre?

My favorite genre?

I like... Well,

I write erotic fiction.

Get the fuck out of here.

I love erotic fiction.

Listen, I know some dope heavy hitters too.

My boy Zane.

My girl, uh, Katana.

Yeah. What's your author name?

I'm Katana.

What? Yeah. Shut the fuck up. I'm Katana. Come on, man. I thought Katana

some old white fat lady who got out behind a pen.

You must have read Till I Stopped, my second book.

Yeah. Shut the front door and open up the back one. This is crazy.

Can you let me go? Oh, hell no.

We ain't doing that.

Like you called and all. I was having a fan moment. But I'm not letting you go.

That ain't happening.

At all.

Still got to go through with this.

Please let me go.

I got paid for this.

Please.

Let me go.

Please.

You know we still ain't heard back from that lawyer yet, right?

You mean Raquel's man?

Yeah. I was thinking about that myself.

We might have to pull down on Dog, man.

They can give us a statement on the record.

I agree with you on that. We need to find out that he found that girl's

Well, shit, I'm ready to roll when you are.

Let's roll, boss.

Say less.

I hope y 'all hungry.

Or what did y 'all suppose?

That little cafe on Final Act?

Got some good -ass mother potatoes.

I ain't no motherfucking fool.

Got me going to the bathroom on myself, locked up in this damn room. God knows

where the hell I'm at.

Okay.

What about you, little lady?

I know you ain't gonna pass with one of the good men.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It might be your last.

I know you won't. Wait, I...

I like to say thank you straight to the motherfucking point.

So let's get it.

Where the fuck's the Thomas family at?

Wait.

Look. Wait.

Mom. What do you want with them?

Should I tell you?

Should I let you?

Don't worry, Charles.

This ain't got shit to do with client attorney privileges.

You already fucked me on that once.

Cruz, you are not going to get away with this.

I can't believe you would go to this extent over something that happened ten

years ago.

You don't like me.

You right.

What the fuck was I thinking?

We should let bygones be bygones.

You know?

I mean... God knows my poor little Jenny couldn't take the guilt no more.

And she killed herself.

And my lawyer.

My lawyer.

She'll be the one I need to bridge.

Okay. What does the doctor do with me?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing at all.

You just at the wrong cost at the wrong time.

Collateral damage.

I'm a Christian.

And if it goes how a good book is written, you're going to be a whole lot

happier where I sent you.

You was a psychopath when I represented you.

Okay.

So if you know that to be a fact, I'm going to give you to the count of three.

You can tell me where the tongue's bound to be at.

One.

Two.

Oh, shit!

Crazy motherfucker!

What happened to the count of three?

You are a madman!

Am I not?

I'm going to read you a letter.

And when I'm done, you can either join the police officer, your bitch,

Florence Jefferson here, or...

You can just tell me what I want to know.

What fucking letter? What the fuck are you talking about?

Hello, my dearest Cruz.

I know it's been a couple years now, and you're doing hard time.

I'm sorry for the lies I told in court, but I couldn't go against my mother's

will.

I hope that one day you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.

I truly pray for that.

The sad thing is...

I cannot forgive myself, so I will take matters into my own hands.

I don't know how much longer you have in there, but as much as I wanted to wait

for you to come home, I figured you wouldn't want to have anything to do

when you did.

I will not stick around in this world if I'm not able to love who I choose to

love because of the color of their skin.

Just know that I loved you.

You know who.

I'm telling you, it's going to be too late. Too late for what? Man, you keep

saying that shit.

I can't believe I'm going to say this. I don't want to know.

Okay.

Ikea's husband hired a killer to kill her.

And since you've just confirmed that the killer was probably telling me the

truth, it's because he thought he's dying and he thinks she cheated.

The motherfucker's gonna fuck up everything, man.

D .A. Thomas can't be that fucking stupid.

That's why I never cheated on him.

How the fuck did you know that?

Because I've been following y 'all from the very first time I took that sweet

kiss.

You know I wanted to kill that bitch right then and there.

Soon.

Easy.

I wanted that little bitch to go home.

Tell her.

And do you know that little bitch ain't saying a motherfucking word?

All because I found out she was writing little books.

It's time.

It's time.

In due time.

I'll go steal the reasonable doll.

Make a call, Paul.

Just coming for you here.

Hi there.

Oh.

I can't do this.

Do what? What you were hired to do?

Correct. When your husband came and seen me, he made me look at myself

different. What the fuck does that mean?

Listen, Katana, I did not lie to the police.

I really didn't know what the fuck happened that day.

All I know is I left my drink at the bar.

I went to go dance. I came back feeling weird as hell.

Somebody had to drug me.

I can't believe JP wants me dead this bad.

I've been nothing but faithful to that man.

See, not according to him.

He had a P. I followed you and all and still couldn't find nothing on you.

There's nothing to find.

I don't know. Fuck. I don't understand any of this.

Look, I ain't gonna lie. I don't really understand.

Like, why not just divorce you? Why try to get you killed?

Damn.

Now somebody fucked this place up.

Now maybe he went to Atlanta.

Then he had to find those people, right?

Yeah, man, but he ain't gonna leave his door open like that.

Something ain't right about this shit.

But he said she had a key, right?

Yeah, he said that shit too.

What the fuck do they got to do with Team China, man? The bitch is dead.

Come on, man. All that Perry Mason shit you be watching. Me and Tammy, you can't

tell me what the fuck's going on here. Okay, man.

All right, shit, he gave a key to a dead boy.

Shit, hold on, hold on.

Yes, I know.

This is Ross, property room. How may I help you?

Okay, Raquel with the pretty feet.

I just burns.

I need you to do me a favor, man. Check that property room.

See if Raquel had a key there or her attorney.

Oh, so you remember how my feet look like now, huh?

Come on, baby.

What we had was good while it lasted.

All right, let me see here.

You know, it does look like there were keys.

I had a hunch about something.

Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Nope.

FB is checked here.

Hell, B?

Yeah, that just means that there were no keys. It was a keyfab, like a remote

control.

But there were no keys left with the victim.

Thanks, Ross.

Maybe we can start over.

Wait, get off my phone.

High time.

Yeah, look like your old flame got you in a cage, huh?

And my old flame just solidified a stitch in her hair.

Beth, where we at next?

The care house with no key in the fucking evidence room for her or that

attorney.

All right.

Let's go then.

Yo,

what we gonna do about this mess?

Look, I don't know, but I do know I'm not doing it.

Well, thank God for that.

Yeah, I'm not doing it no more.

This shit really feel like some crazy psycho book.

Like a legal thriller or something.

Well, what does that mean?

Just like, just think about this.

We riding off in the sunset.

You got head prosecutor pays murderer to execute his wife.

You mentioned that.

Exactly.

But at the same time, we're going to push out that sunset.

Yesterday, I heard the 13, so obviously you already think I killed you.

This shit is crazy.

I cannot believe my man would do something like this. Like, really try to

me?

But it's all good.

Yep, I'll be ready when the sun goes down.

Most definitely.

All right, so look, I ain't trying to go back to jail. I can't go back to jail.

But I want to see you win.

So check this out.

I'm in your business.

In your business.

Thank you so much.

Yo, somebody done been in here, man.

How you know that?

See, you might know this cop shit.

I know fool.

This shit still hot.

Somebody get in this motherfucker.

Hey, man.

Call your bureau.

See if we can get a ping on that phone.

Hey, somebody's gonna die tonight.

Somebody's gonna die tonight.

I ain't gonna have to take your life. I'm probably gonna have to fuck his

Who gonna die? Anybody?

Everybody?

Scream!

Oh, shit!

Shut the fuck up.

The fuck you complain about?

That goddamn bag.

Oh, hi.

Hello?

Who is this?

This is Charles Fong, right?

Uh, yeah.

How you doing, Mr. Thomas?

No, this is his friend, actually.

Nope, he told me to let you know that he's getting his bags.

And, um...

Kid, you open the door.

Outside? Yeah, we're right outside the cabin.

I hope they'd fly your ass.

Like you two bitches tried to.

What the fuck is going on?

Charles.

Can I explain?

Fuck you.

Charles.

Haven't I been good to you?

This fool is the reason why you think Ikea was cheating on you.

What are you talking about?

Who the hell is he?

Cruz Wilson.

How do you know all of this, Charles?

I had a conversation with my client, Romance.

He told me your plans.

Since you had me draw that prenup up, I figured he was telling the truth.

I just wanted to beat you so bad, I went along with it. You know, it was

unethical, illegal.

So what does Cruz have to do with this?

My turn.

I took them goodies.

I didn't know she wasn't going to tell you.

Until I found out that she was supposed to be going to see a publisher to get

that nasty work printed.

What make you think you're going to get away with this?

All that time I spent in the sand.

Some shit I didn't do.

Poor Jackie.

She quoted that letter.

Killed herself shortly after.

And if I got day four, I was going to get her revenge.

So that's what the fuck I'm doing.

And if I don't get away,

God, I'm going to be alone.

Somebody's going to die tonight.

Somebody's going to die tonight.

Guess I'm just going to take the light.

But not before I fuck his wife.

Yeah.

Yo,

Ralph, I guess you changed your mind about dinner, huh?

Not even likely.

Are you ready for this?

Sure.

Okay, so I figured since you said this guy was a lawyer, maybe he would have an

iPhone.

So I called my Connect at the phone store and gave him the number.

Go on.

Well, he does have a feature call locator on his phone, and we're able to

you the number of exactly where that phone is located right now. I'm sending

to you now.

Man, that's got to be worth it.

Not even a chance.

You know I'm sick of your voice in any way.

Okay. Thank you, man. Appreciate it.

All right.

Is that what you need?

Yes.

Go get them up.

It's me, it's me. Baby.

What? Oh, Jesus.

Oh, baby. Ah! What? What?

What happened?

What's going on?

Oh.

Fuck.

It's like deja vu.

Get these fucking blindfolds off me.

Oh, shit. Hey, big time. Take a look at you.

Take a look.

Nice ass frame on her.

Hey, I remember the first time I stuck my dick up in that motherfucking pussy.

She got cream in a little bit, squirting a lot.

You know, we call that shit 64.

I'm surprised she ain't too.

Come on, man. Please don't do this.

Look, I was wrong.

This whole time I thought she cheated on me.

And you raped her.

She was trying to protect Katana.

Poor little old Katana.

But I can say this, though.

That bitch sure do know how to write a sex story.

Come on, man. I got money.

Look, I'll pay you whatever.

Could leave the country and won't nobody ever find you.

I think killing her and making you watch way more fun.

You know, like my poor little Jenny.

Oh, don't get it fucked up now.

I'm going to stick some dick in that face before I kill her.

You know,

it gives you something to think about while you're going through remission.

This type of guy I am, man.

What's up, Charles?

You got some closing arguments?

You got something you want to say, motherfucker?

You a sick motherfucker who never getting away with this.

Oh, yes, ma 'am.

I'm gonna get away with this shit.

And if I don't, I get a good look.

Oh, hold on, DA. Don't die before you see this.

I need you to watch.

Check this out.

Freeze, motherfucker!

We all lost something.

At least you gained something.

You know, I was never with JT for his money.

I actually loved him.

But you're right, I did gain something.

What's that?

My identity.

Good luck with your book.

Thank you so much Charles.

Baby, I, like a dog, I cannot get

off, get off, get off no more.

And I don't know, I don't know why, why I'm on,

why I'm on you like this. Baby, it's your kiss, the way you

kiss my lips.

So chilly I can't help but reminisce About the way

you used to hold me Hold me But it's like now you don't

Thank you.
