Mia, making it worse.

Why don't you think of

this cat and mouse game?

Mia.

You think that's gonna save you?

Open this door right now.

Leave it to me.

I just wanna be right.

I just wanna be seen.

Don't you ever touch this

again, unless you plan to use it.

Clean yourself up.

That's me telling you nicely.

Jamal, huh?

Let me ask you a question, and don't lie.

That man never buy you

flowers for no reason.

Right, but yet you cooking, you cleaning,

you swallowing your pride,

you keep the housemen like vanilla and

Jesus, and for what?

He's just stressed.

Oh girl, please, he's

always just stressed.

Meanwhile, his assistants walking through

the office and stilettos and

lip gloss, keep keying at

all his corny ass jokes.

You don't even gotta say

nothing, cuz I already know.

Look, I get it, okay?

You wanna be the good one,

the wife, the ride or die.

But baby, when you die and I ride, ain't

nobody coming to save you.

And me?

I need this money, so I'm not about to

let no man waste my time.

You ever wonder what would

happen if you just, let's see,

stop being so damn loyal.

Tasha, I'm not like you.

I know, and that's the problem.

You think being invisible is the same

thing as being safe.

Uh-uh, let me tell you something.

When a man doesn't see you, that's when

he does the most dirt.

Well, when I leave here today, I'm

getting my hair done.

Okay.

And I am sure he'll notice me then.

I'm sorry.

What?

Notice you?

Girl, you can walk in that house butt

booty naked with your head on fire,

and he still would not

look up from his phone.

I'm sorry, cousin.

But if you think that a flat iron is

going to fix what's

broken in your marriage,

it's already over, sweetie.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

So you give everything to a

man who sees you as furniture.

I would never understand.

I just don't get it.

Must be nice.

Notice you.

Hey, baby, I'm back.

Hey.

Do you know where the Tylenol is?

Head is killing me.

It's over there in the

drawer, where it always is.

Long day?

Just handling some things.

I was thinking about

ordering some takeout.

We can try that new tag spot.

What the hell did you do to your hair?

I--I just got it done.

I tried something different.

So who you trying to

look like now? Your cousin?

It's just braised--

It's just ugly. And you look cheap.

You don't have to be--

Take them out.

They took hours.

Oh, really? They took hours?

I don't give a damn if it took all week.

Take them out now.

I gotta save this one.

She is fine.

You missed the compliance review today.

It was optional.

For associates, you're not one.

Why do I feel like you only drop by when

you think I've stepped out of line?

Do you think that?

No. But I know the look.

That's your audit face.

So you're in the tenant

during the office hours now?

Gotta make the new

highest bill welcome, right?

I mean, we're not savages, are we?

Here's the second

quarter compliance review.

Don't skim it. I need

your initials on every page.

This looks new.

It's been there. You

just haven't noticed.

Is that so?

Let me be clear.

I don't need your approval.

I just expect your discretion.

Discretion?

That sounds like-

Exactly what it sounds like.

You good at cleaning up?

Immaculate.

Even blood?

Especially blood.

Why be desperate?

Meeting prints.

No, that's not what I said.

Yes.

Just make sure the

paperwork is on my desk.

I don't want to hear his mouth today.

Okay.

You heading out already?

What does it look like?

You should do the blue.

The blue?

Yeah, no.

Do the yellow.

Yeah.

Oh, that's Tasha.

Of course it is.

Well, damn, I didn't know I needed to

make an appointment to come visit family.

Gosh.

You don't need an appointment.

You need boundaries.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay, so you finally

learned that word, huh?

Good for you.

Funny.

Whose husband are you

sleeping with this week?

Jamal, please.

She is just stopping by.

She is always just stopping by.

Somebody needs to tell

her she doesn't live here.

Don't you worry because, see, if I did,

oh, you would for damn

sure notice me, nigga.

Oh, my God.

We'll talk later.

And you, try not to

ruin her day for once.

Mm-hmm.

I can't stand him.

Do he always got to make an exit like he

in a damn movie or something?

That man hates me.

And you know why?

Because I can see

straight through his ass.

Well, you don't help either.

I mean, you could be a little nicer.

Mia, please.

Okay?

Because if I was any nicer, he would

think that I liked him,

and I would rather drown in bleach.

You know, a few days ago, he did mention

wanting me to throw a celebration.

Who?

Him?

Mia.

Girl, you better not be out

here catering to your captor.

You gonna bake,

decorate, and still get ignored.

That man don't want no wife.

He wants free PRA.

I don't know, cousin.

You better start figuring

out this game, for real.

I keep trying to tell you, you don't get

a trophy for suffering in silence.

Well, this ain't a game to me.

Then why you losing?

You know what your problem is?

You're too damn loyal, okay?

You treat love like a

church, and Jamal like he's God.

I just want peace.

Then stop praying to men who

profit off of your silence.

Girl.

So you really think everything

is, what, just a transaction?

Yeah.

Everything is just a transaction, Mia.

You give, they take.

Simple.

Oh, and if you're

lucky, you'll get a receipt.

Mm-hmm.

I'm not like you.

But you can be, and you will be.

Or you'll drown, trying to

prove that you're different.

I keep trying to tell you,

you better learn from me.

I'm giving you some nuggets.

How long has this fruit been out?

I just took it out.

Oh.

That's pretty good, though.

Hey.

Hey, so are you like,

secondhand gourmet in here?

Secondhand title, first action.

You trouble hot?

Depends on which door you open up.

But if you ever need somebody to walk you

through company policies, I got time.

Well, aren't you like, married?

I got pockets, too, don't I?

Let me put you in one of them.

You're wrong for that.

You free for lunch today?

I mean...

Everything okay?

Better now.

Lunch today.

You and me.

All right.

You eat?

Yeah, we grabbed something at the office.

We?

Me and some of the team.

No girl needed help with

her access badges and stuff.

You see any of my messages?

Eventually.

But you didn't answer.

Mia, I was working.

Working or entertaining?

Okay. Here we go.

Oh, yes. Here we go.

You think I don't hear things?

People talk, Jamal.

Even the ones that smile in your face.

You out there acting like you single.

So now I can't be nice to people?

Nice or thirsty?

Let me explain something to you.

Just because you're

miserable don't mean I gotta be.

You got the house, the bills paid, and

your name on the mortgage.

Yet every week you find

something new to cry about.

Because you treat me like I am invisible.

No.

I treat you like a woman

who's forgotten her place.

And what is my place, Jamal?

To support, not interrogate.

So, so I'm just supposed to what?

Stay home, cook your meals, you don't

eat, text your shit,

text your shit, you never answer.

And what, smile while

you, you play Mr. Man,

Mr. Big Shot to every

woman at that office?

Mia, don't act brand new.

You knew who I was when you married me.

No. I thought I did.

Let me make something

crystal clear for you.

I don't owe you explanations.

I owe you provision, protection,

you getting that?

Then stay in your lane.

You know what my mother once told me?

That no matter how much money a man got,

if he don't make space for you,

you don't exist to him.

Yeah.

Well, maybe you should ask your mother

for some more advice.

Ah, that's right.

She's dead.

One day, you are gonna come home

and realize

everything you took for granted

packed up and left your ass.

One day, hopefully.

But unfortunately, not today.

Peter, since I couldn't make it to your

birthday party tomorrow,

Peter, will you raise a glass early?

A glass?

Man, I told you I

canceled that damn party.

No point in celebrating just because I survived another year.

I mean, it's still a matter of time. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I mean, I told you I

survived another year.

I mean, it's still a milestone, Jamal.

I mean, even if you do show up mad.

To survive in what was meant to kill us.

To snakes that smile before they strike.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You got a West Coast client.

Look.

Look.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

All right, well, thank you.

Where were we, man?

I'm gonna get my toast.

You good?

I'm better than good.

To making our enemies nervous.

And to keeping them guessing.

That good stuff.

Mm-hmm.

Man, you ain't slick.

You thought I wasn't

gonna peep that weekend setup?

Did I?

Man, you gotta stop playing

with me like I'm dumb, man.

What the--

What the hell?

You're not dumb, Jamal.

Just predictable.

You knew.

You been switching

glasses since I met you.

You always thought that made you smarter.

But all I had to do was wait.

Shit.

No.

Man, you never brought her around.

It's like you were hiding her from us.

She ain't no you.

Yo.

I need you to come to me now.

I'll see you at address.

What?

What the hell is this?

Keep your voice down.

You called me over here in a rush, but

you didn't tell me

that you caught a body.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

That's Jamal.

You killed Jamal?

You know him?

Oh, God. That is my cousin's husband.

Okay. So?

Okay, so?

That's family. What do you mean?

I didn't even know he was me.

Jamal never brought her around here.

Well, that's probably because he's

screwing all these thirsty

paralegals you call staff.

Gosh.

Who do you think you're talking to?

I'm just saying, E.

You killed Mia's man. Now

what am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to tell her?

Nothing.

He stole from me, Tasha.

The bag I told you I

dropped at the office.

He waited, watched, and took you.

He was gonna expose everything.

Okay, but did you have to kill him?

Did you?

I said he was gonna expose everything.

You know I can't have that.

Okay. So what are we gonna do? Huh?

Where's the money now?

I don't know. Go on.

Wherever he stashed it.

This is crazy.

You know what?

I bet his wife knows.

What? No. Hell no. Not Mia.

Don't be stupid. Never know.

And you know I can let her take you.

Okay, so what is it

that you want Mia to do, E?

Act like I just don't know nothing?

Exactly.

Set her ass up.

You get that bag back

for me, I'll give you 10%.

Hold up. Hold.

Up.

You killed my cousin's husband.

And now you want me

to betray her for 10%?

You're still in debt, right?

Make it 30.

20.

25.

25.

25.

25. What if I even sent you?

I will never cross you, E.

I'll play the Lord your cousin, okay?

I'll even cry real tears if I have to.

She won't even see it coming.

You know I got you, right?

I know.

That's why I got you.

Wow, small world.

Do I know you?

You don't remember me.

Should I?

No.

No.

But you look like you're someone that

needed a reason to smile.

Do you mind if I sit?

Sit yourself.

You ever notice how some people carry

heartbreak like it's a fashion choice?

What do you mean?

I mean, just looks like you're trying

your best to not let

your world fall apart.

You always talk like this to strangers?

Only to those that matter.

What are you, a therapist or something?

I'm a lawyer.

Like courtrooms and suits?

Nah, like the type that keeps other

people money out of the courtrooms.

That explains it.

Explains what?

My husband was a lawyer.

You said was.

Yeah, but he passed.

I'm sorry to hear that.

No you're not.

All lawyers are arrogant, so stop.

You ever get tired of

pretending to be okay?

Do you ever get tired of

acting like you give a damn?

My bad.

You got a name?

Depends on who's asking.

I'm asking.

Mia.

Mia?

Italian?

For mine?

Sure.

Well, if you ever get

tired of being invisible, Mia.

Call me.

You always carry these around?

Only for people that matter.

I didn't say I'd call.

I didn't say you had to.

What if you do?

Call me from a quiet place.

Bye, Mia.

Just stop thinking.

You would say I was moving on too fast.

I just want to feel something again.

What's the one text that got hurt?)

You said stop thinking.

So stop.

Hey, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Hey, just checking in.

Hope your day went good.

They think you did see it.

Well, I didn't plan on it.

Plans change.

Only when somebody messes with them.

Oh, alright. Get some somebody now.

I mean, you picked the

phone up this time though.

Hey, good.

People tend to show you the truth when

they don't have time to hide it.

Like what?

Like you rehearsed it.

No, I'd say what I mean.

Well, that's rare these days.

Well, I'll tell you what. Keep me around.

Let's see how rare it gets.

You got confidence. I will give you that.

Ah, confidence.

Confidence keeps the

world from tearing you apart.

You sound like somebody

who's been chewed up once.

Or twice.

Maybe.

But I'm still standing though.

I should go.

I hear you.

But you ain't hang up yet.

You don't quit, do you?

Only when I stop hearing

that smile in your voice.

I should... get some rest.

Early morning.

Alright.

Well, I'll let you go.

How you think about me?

Don't push it.

Alright.

Night.

Night, Mia.

You keep looking around

like we've been watched.

Sorry.

I'm not used to...

this.

Used to what?

I guess...

someone paying attention with...

no motive.

Who says I don't have a motive?

I like talking to you. That's my motive.

This feels weird.

Or it feels right. You just

don't know what to do with it.

You remind me of...

Who?

No one I've ever dated.

Good. Because you deserve the best, baby.

I've never heard that laugh before.

Neither have I.

I should go.

You don't want to stay here.

Neither do I.

Walk with me.

Well?

I'm sorry.

You want something to drink?

No, I'm good.

These all his?

Yeah.

You sure you're ready for company?

You're not company.

You ever wish you could just

tear it up and start all over?

If it was that easy, I

would have been did it.

Yeah, me too.

You ever been married before?

Nope.

You ever plan on getting married again?

In my mind, I'm still married.

I'm not judging. I'm

not judging. I promise.

I know.

That's what's scary.

It just feels awful, though.

I want you to stay.

And I just don't know why.

You don't have to prove it.

You want to see something?

All out right now.

Sure.

That's him?

Yep.

The best and worst of me.

Are you sure you don't

want anything to drink?

You know what? I would love to drink.

Thank you.

You found something?

I thought it was a salt spider.

Thank you.

Ah, Marsha.

Have your shirt still hanging?

Once sleeping, like you just turned away.

Sorry I missed your birthday again.

Next year, we'll be down.

Hey.

Hey.

Did you forget something?

Maybe.

Look, I just couldn't

stop thinking about you.

Since I walked out.

And I wanted to spend more time with you.

We've already been

spending a lot of time together.

How much time do you need?

As much as I can get.

So, look.

I know I'm not him, but just...

Feels like you are, though.

And honestly, maybe

that's what scares me.

Well, tell me what you need from me.

In this moment, right now.

I just want to stop feeling guilty.

Hey.

Then don't fight.

I can't.

Go home, Evan. Please.

What?

You're welcome back.

Didn't think you would show up.

You texted three times.

You showed up.

So, I'm winning.

How'd you know?

I pay attention.

So, tell me about him.

Tell you about who?

Your husband.

The one you talk to

when the house gets quiet.

What do you want from me, Evan?

Maybe just the truth.

You wouldn't know what to do with it.

Try me.

You really think you see me.

You don't.

Then tell me what I'm missing.

You're not good for me.

Maybe that's the point.

You sound like every man who's ever

wanted something he can't keep.

Maybe I don't want to keep you.

Maybe I want it just for the moment.

Before it's gone.

You should stop talking like that.

Why?

Because I might start believing you.

He just, he smiled at me.

Like he knew me.

Like he already had me figured out.

And then, when I walked out,

he didn't even come after me.

Girl, you are so damn dramatic.

And you making me dizzy

with all this back and forth.

Listen, maybe the man

was just being respectful.

You know, like letting you breathe.

No.

It was a game.

The way he looked at me,

it was like he was waiting for something.

Okay.

You are thinking way too much into this.

I know that this man

must be beautiful as hell.

Okay, he has a job.

He ain't asking you for no money.

And he's clearly into you.

I don't know.

Something feels off.

Something feels off.

Right? Okay. Wow.

All right, let me ask you something.

Does something feel off

when Jamal was around?

Don't bring him into this.

I'm just saying.

I'm just saying, everybody

is not out to hurt you, Mia.

Maybe this guy is a good one.

Maybe.

Just maybe.

He said something.

Something Jamal used to say.

And I think he just messed with my head.

Cousin?

Come here.

Give me your hands.

Maybe that was a sign.

Oh, maybe, maybe not.

I'm just saying.

And you know everybody in this city.

You've never heard of an Evan.

Evan Harris?

No, I've never heard of an Evan Harris.

Whatever his name is.

No, not before today.

But if you ask me, I say give him a call.

You should call the man.

You will say that.

You expecting somebody?

I wasn't.

Hold on.

Hey.

I was just in the neighborhood and wanted

to come by and check on you.

Oh, really?

So you couldn't call or text me first?

How did you even know

I was going to be home?

That's a lucky guess.

That's not how lucky works.

Mia, who is it?

Oh, I didn't know you had--

Hi, I'm Tasha, our cousin.

This is the guy I was telling you about

from the coffee shop.

Oh, okay.

Nice to meet you, Tasha.

You too.

Have y'all two met before?

Oh, no.

No, just day's drive-aloo, I guess.

Well, you mind if I come in?

I do, actually.

Yeah.

Chill out. Let that man in.

Why'd you act like that?

You just told me 20 minutes

ago that I was overthinking.

And you are. That's the problem.

Girl, you always think of somebody lying.

Let the man in, y'all. Sit down and talk.

You might like what he has to say.

Yeah.

You might like what I got to say.

Come in.

I know your garden. You should be.

But I promise you, I

wasn't trying to run, okay?

Then what were you trying to do?

I was trying to get to know you.

I saw something in you

and I wanted to see more.

Aww.

That is so cute.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Look, we don't hear that

kind of talk around here.

Everybody get what they

want and then they're gone.

Just sing.

Well, not me.

You got kids?

No.

A girlfriend?

If I did, I wouldn't be here.

Honest and single. I like him.

Sounds like the perfect resume.

Mia.

Let it go.

Jamal is gone, okay?

You still waking up crying over a man who

didn't even care about you.

Maybe this is your reset.

Jamal wasn't perfect, but...

Oh my God, stop.

Do not rewrite history

because this man is dead.

Chill out.

Evan, why are you really here?

To be honest,

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

And I knew if I didn't come down, then I

just talked myself out of it.

Nice, sexy as hell.

Girl, you better keep up.

I've never seen you be

this nice to someone before.

Are you sure? You haven't met him before?

Mia, no. I have not met

him. You asked me that already.

But if I did, I would

have kept him for myself.

How about you go get the

man something to drink?

Would you like something to drink?

Yeah, um, I wanna be fine.

Thank you.

Keep playing your part.

I always do.

Oh, thank you.

Girl, look, this one here or

not, if he start acting up,

I'm gonna be disaster myself.

Oh, man.

Just thought I'd make up for showing up

on Invite yesterday.

And you always carry flowers in your car?

Only when it feels worth it.

You really don't quit, do you?

Wouldn't know how.

Come in.

Still feel like his house?

Because it is.

My bad.

Look, I don't wanna step

on your ghost, anything.

I just wanted to come by

and see how you were doing.

You don't know what you're walking into.

Maybe that's why I'm

here. Because I wanna know.

Here we go.

It's the truth.

What else do you do, Evan?

Besides flirt?

I mean, real estate,

some legal consulting.

You know, just enough to get by.

I thought you practiced law.

I practiced a lot of things.

Do you ever give a straight answer?

Mm-hmm.

Depends on who's asking.

Cute.

Let me, um, let me take you out.

Take you to dinner.

I'll think about it.

Better than I know.

I'll let you know where.

I said I would think about it.

I'll let myself out.

We don't care how long you've been

finessing paperwork.

You owe 400 racks of pain,

or we will make your girl pay.

Hey, who doe calls

for the rest of the day?

Yeah, what?

You still playing house

with the widow, or what?

If that's good, just warm it up.

Take it around tonight.

Ah.

Well, don't wait too long.

Word is people poking around again,

and you know what

people I'm talking about.

You let me handle that.

You just be where I

tell you what I do you.

Whatever you say, ghost.

What the fuck?

Damn.

Yeah.

Like I'm gonna get you money.

Yeah, I got most of them right now.

Listen, I'm gonna get you money.

But--

Fuck.

Wow.

You really went all out.

You trying to impress me or something?

It's just dinner.

Don't read too deep.

Men who say that

usually mean the opposite.

Well, hey, we'll call it

dinner with intentions.

Uh-huh.

All right.

This is actually really good.

I told you.

See, I told you.

You cook like somebody raised you, right?

Yeah, I had a mama who

didn't play about seasonings.

You know, you don't talk

like any lawyer I've ever met.

That's the point.

I guess we all have

things we walked away from.

Yeah.

The song we can't escape.

Mm.

Are you always this calm?

Well, not always.

Just tonight.

You remind me of him.

He thought he had it

all figured out, too.

Mm-hmm.

And what happened?

He stopped listening.

He thought he knew me better than I did.

Yeah.

What's wrong with her?

Is that supposed to be

self-awareness or a red flag?

Okay.

You got me.

I--

Wow.

What he's just saying is both.

Both.

Yeah, both.

Do you ever get tired of people expecting

you to have all the answers?

Every damn day.

You know, you are very hard to read.

That's some purpose.

Is that work or something?

It's, um, it's something.

It's, um, toast.

To start it over.

To not getting played twice.

To not getting played twice.

Mm.

Mm.

Excuse me, Evan, where's your bathroom?

It's right down the hall, to the right.

Oh, I'll be right back.

Mm-hmm.

Listen.

You're gonna get your damn money.

Hello.

Okay.

Okay, listen to me.

You make the right money, huh?

I clean said money.

I get that money, and I keep

it out of the courts for you.

Huh?

You stay rich, I get paid.

That's, that's worse.

We both benefit.

But I'm gonna get you your money.

I'm gonna get you your fucking--

Hello?

Hello?

Fuck!

Hey.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Good, good, good.

Wanna see me have another drink?

No, no.

Dinner was great.

You did amazing.

Well, I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Most men talk about doing right.

You actually did it.

I mean, you know, you deserve that much.

Well, it's, it's getting late.

I should head home.

You sure?

Yeah.

Well, at least let me walk--

No, no.

That's okay.

All right then.

Good night, Evan.

Night, Mia.

Mmm.

Looks like somebody had a long night that

I've been somewhere I

probably shouldn't glow.

Well, good morning, Eve.

Uh-uh, no, don't good morning me.

Shoot.

I called your butt twice last

night and you ain't answer--

sent me to the voicemail.

What happened to you?

I was out.

Out?

Out where?

Evan's house.

Oh!

Okay, so now we doing dinner dates at

strange men's houses, huh?

Girl, you moving fast.

I like it.

It wasn't like that.

We talked, we ate, and that was all.

Yeah, that was all.

Yeah, that's what they all say, right?

Before they start leaving

earrings on nightstands.

It was actually kind of cute.

He cooked and he listened.

I did not expect that.

He listened.

You know that's what they all do, right?

The first few days they listen.

That's how they collect data.

But hey, you deserve to

have a man pretend to listen.

Me and you like Jamal

heard a damn thing you said.

That's real love.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

That didn't come out right.

But listen, don't

overthink this with me, okay?

Let that man chase you.

Let him spend that

money, that money on him.

No, but seriously, let him treat you like

a prize for once in your life, please.

You really think he's that intimate?

Yeah, girl, he's into you.

But the question is, what

are you gonna do with that?

You see the way I see it?

You got two options.

One, you can keep crying and mourning

over this one that's no longer with us.

Or two, you can open your eyes and see

the one that's knocking at your door now.

And if he acts up, oh,

you already know the code.

Pineapple.

Pineapples, good girl.

Well, I gotta get out of here.

I gotta date myself.

I just came into a wellness check.

Your man was an ant in the front.

Oh.

And if he invites you

over again, we're red.

Men like Evan, they don't fall in love.

They get obsessed.

Love you. Bye.

Hey.

I just want the same thing for the woman.

The man.

The diamond.

Oh.

Good.

You caught me twice.

You must have forgot

who was running home.

Look, if I'm broke, we both got problems.

Wrong. You got problems.

I got solutions. When I

feel like giving them.

You told me the money

was coming last night.

And it's still coming.

My bills don't wait, E.

Neither do the people that I owe.

Then you shouldn't owe them.

Look, I just don't like surprises, okay?

Good.

Because the kind I bring,

you don't walk away from, baby.

You gonna get to 25%.

Mm-hmm. I hear you.

Next time don't summon me

like I wanna get little tricks.

I wasn't trying to, E. I just--

Just what? I know

what you was just trying.

Look, let's not forgive

who set this whole plan.

Don't forgive what happened

to the people that crossed me.

Tomorrow, huh?

Looking for something?

Shit! You scared me.

How did you even get in here?

What's that?

What's--what's what?

Stop playing dumb.

I'm not playing dumb. I've

never seen this safe before.

What's that?

How would I know? I just told you this is

my first time seeing it.

You know the code?

No.

Well, think of something. Try something.

Put a digit in there.

Anniversary. Birthday.

Put a motherfucking number in me.

You're wasting my motherfucking time.

I'm nervous with this gun. I don't know.

You wasted my motherfucking time.

Evan, I swear I don't know the code.

No.

You think it's a motherfucking game?

You think it's a fucking game?

Give me a phone.

Tress over, bitch.

I found something to

pop dead bitch over with.

Don't.

I swear to God.

Your ass tried to think I'd

let you down right fucking here.

Right?

Check in there.

Well, go the fuck on.

You want to help so fucking bad.

Stupid bitch.

Fuck this.

Everybody fucking want to rush me.

You know what?

I'll pop dead bitch open myself.

Where'd I thought I'd pop you open?

By me.

Hey, what's up, cousin?

Tasha, you have to come.

Wow, what's up? What happened?

Pineapples.

Oh, shit.

Okay, all right.

Don't move. I'm on my way.

Cousin.

You okay?

Jesus, what the hell happened?

Me, huh?

Cousin, I got you.

I got you.

Okay? Let me take this.

Let me have it.

Okay. Okay, okay.

You did good.

I'm proud of you.

How could you do this to me?

Don't start with me.

You think I wanted this?

You think I woke up saying, "How can I

ruin Mia's life today?"

I have spent my entire damn life

cleaning up after men,

smiling at their

lives, fixing their messes,

keeping secrets for scraps.

God, but this--

Oh, this was different.

Mm.

This was real money, real freedom.

He said,

"Just help me figure it out.

Help me pull it off,

and you will finally get yours."

That's what he said.

I'm tired.

I am tired of scraping Mia.

I'm done begging for crumbs

when I know that I am the whole damn Mia.

You were all I had.

The view was always too

damn soft to survive out here.

I'm sorry, cousin.

I really am.

What the fuck?

No, no, no, no, Mia, Mia, Mia, Mia!

I'm not soft anymore.

Hey, I don't mean to bother you,

but do you come here often?

No, not really.

Mind if I sit?

Suit yourself?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, where are my manners?

My name is Andrew.

Mia.

Mia.

It's nice to meet you, Mia.

So let me ask you something.

Andrew, was it?

Andrew, yeah. Go ahead.

What do you do for a living?

Well, I'm one of the

top lawyers in the city.
