Hello?

I know you saw my number pop up on your phone,

but since you refuse to speak with me,

I'll say what I have to say, here.

I know that you've been having an affair with my husband.

So while he thinks

I don't know his little secret,

I wanted to let you know

that he is mine.

And despite what you think you may have

I'm never going to let him go.

And, woman to woman,

I just called to let you know.

Wow, your kitchen renovations is coming along

good, sis.

Thank you.

Can you tell I did it by myself? - No.

I think you got some man sneaking over here, actually.

'Cause this looks too good. -

Oh, I actually love doing home improvements.

It gives me something to do.

Mm, I guess

You must really enjoy doing wardrobe for photoshoots and movies, huh?

Yeah.

You know how I used to love to dress my dolls up when we were kids?

It's the same thing.

Well, if you love it and it pays your bills.

Some of them- Pays some of the bills.

But thank you for allowing me to borrow your stuff.

I got to here to the goodwill before they close, okay?

Why you going to the Goodwill?

Pick up some old looking, vintage suitcase.

I mean, I thought it's be easy to find, but it's been the total opposite.

Oh, girl., that's easy. Very easy.

I just told you it was not.

Wait.

Do you have one?

Yes. Downstairs in the basement,

next to the hot water tank, in the corner.

Where your little spider friends live.

I guess that means I got to go get it, then.

Oh, that's exactly what it means.

Because, you know, I don't play when it comes to spiders.

I know you ain't got to tell me.

Okay, where is this?

Oh, there it is.

Okay.

This is perfect!

Little dusty, though, but it'll do.

All right.

What?

Oh shoot!

Sis?

You know, it's some letters and other stuff in this?

Sure did.

Leave them down there and take the suitcase.

Shirley, who letters are these?

You remembered to get two orders, right?

Because, you know your Aunt Cynthia is over here

and I don't like sharing my food.

Oh, thank you, baby.

Yes. See you soon.

Okay.

Buh-bye.

What's wrong with you?

Didn't I tell you to leave that mess downstairs?

Okay,

so a few years after Robert died,

that home wrecker decided to show up on my doorstep

with that suitcase.

She told me that her my husband were in love.

And those letters were her way of proving it.

Did you-

Did you read these?

One.

I didn't need to read the others.

You need to read all of them.

I didn't read them then, and I'm not reading them today.

You need to see this.

Especially this one. - Didn't I just tell you-

Shirley, please.

Daughter?

Daughter?

I mean, an affair

is one thing, but to have had a child with

that woman is a whole other thing.

It is.

But I can't believe he never said anything about a child.

Oh, he really took that secret to the grave.

How are you going to tell Angie?

I'm not.

Shirley!

You can't be serious.

You have to tell her.

She's my daughter.

And I believe that she's better off not knowing.

I don't need to know anything about what?

Nothing.

What?

It's about your father.

About Uncle Robert?

Shirley, you have to tell her.

The only thing I need to do is stay black and die, Cynthia.

Okay, mother.

What is it?

You might have a sister.

That doesn't make any sense.

It's true, baby.

Read it yourself.

Oh, no.

This can't be real.

But this is my father's handwriting.

I'm shocked.

Not as shocked as I am.

Well, why wouldn't he tell us about her?

I don't know, sweetie.

I'm just as confused as you are.

I'm about to go lay down.

Wait. Mom!

Aren't you going to eat?

Maybe later.

Shirley, you need to eat something.

And you need to mind your business, Cynthia.

I'm sorry, baby.

Hey, boo.

I don't want to leave without saying goodbye.

You feeling any better, though?

Not exactly.

I just keep rereading this letter.

Are you going to try to find her?

I mean, I don't know, Noelle.

Does she want or care to be found?

I mean, does she even know that I exist?

You know, first hand, how much of a daddy's girl I am-

or was.

But this, this is just- - But don't allow

this situation

to taint your image of Uncle Robert.

Regardless of the circumstances, he was always a good father to you.

But not a good husband to my mother or a good father to Erin.

You don't know that, Angie.

Just because the family didn't know about her,

doesn't mean he wasn't in her life.

Well, how am I supposed to know that?

I mean, there's only one way to find out.

With social media,

it shouldn't be too hard to locate her.

And you never know.

She could be happy to find out

she has a little sister.

And I fine cousins, too.

Girl, get out.

I'm gonna walk you out.

- Don't kick me out! - Yes.

- Oh! - Please.

Please.

Walk me to the door, at least.

I'm coming.

My gosh.

Here y'all go.

Erin,

do you think you can work a double for me tomorrow, please?

Do you really gotta ask?

You know, I need the tips.

Girl, I appreciate you so much.

Trying to find reliable people

is just so difficult.

What about that chick with the braces?

I think her name was like, Sandi... - Yasmine?

She kept having car problems.

Okay, what about the other women?

Short 90s hairstyle.

Like a medium build.

Asia. Babies and issues.

Dang, so everybody just dropping like flies, huh?

Yep. Pretty much.

But the good news is I have interviews next week,

so hopefully I can hire somebody that's willing to work.

Girl, I do not want to burn you out.

I'm not complaining at all, Portia.

I'll collect the coins.

I know, but still.

We all need a day off or two for our sanity, girl.

Okay?

Talk to you later.

Not me.

Going to work keeps me sane.

So this what you've been doing all day?

Getting drunk.

Girl, don't be coming up in my house judging me.

Your house?

Yeah. Okay.

When's the last time you paid a bill in your house?

You think I give a damn

what bill you done paid?

This is my house.

My name on that deed.

Yeah. Your name is on the deed.

But who's working to pay the property taxes off

so we don't get thrown out on the street?

You need to get up and get a job.

Lil' girl, you think you better than me?

Don't you?

No, I don't.

I know it.

$117.

That's it.

- Hey, mom. - Hey.

How you doing?

I'm okay.

Just strolling down memory lane.

How are you feeling?

Okay, but I really came to check on you and ask you something.

Oh, sweetie, you don't have to worry about me.

Mommy,

you don't have to put on a tough act for me.

I know this hurts you.

I'm hurt for you.

Daddy had a daughter and never told you.

You are entitled to express yourself.

I'll be fine.

It's only been two days.

I just really wish that I had asked more questions

when she dropped that suitcase off.

You met Barbara before?

Shortly after your father's death

she stopped by the old house.

She had that suitcase with her.

It had some of your father's clothes in it and some other little things.

It was her way of proving that her Robert had an affair.

I was just in denial.

Even with a suitcase full of letters and her knowing where we lived,

you were in denial?

I had a lot on my plate back then.

I was a widow, you had just turned six years old,

I was unpacking the entire house by myself.

I get it.

You were adjusting to life without dad.

I just didn't have the mental capacity to deal

with what she was talking about at that time.

Yeah.

But, you know, no one time, did

that woman mention anything about a child.

Anyway.

What were you going to ask me?

Oh, um, I was going to ask

if you wanted me to pick up your jacket from the cleaners.

Oh. Thank you.

But I went ahead and picked it up.

Running errands keeps my mind busy.

these days.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna fo for a walk.

Okay, mom? - Okay.

I'll check on you later, mama.

Girl, I don't know how my mom does it.

I've been helping her out since 11 this morning,

and they still have five more outfit changes.

Oh, so the struggle is real?

Very much so.

Mm!

And you better hurry up and leave,

before she come back and puts you to work too.

I won't be long.

I need to talk to you. - About what?

Erin?

I'm going to take your advice and try to find my sister.

For real?

That's good!

I mean, it's only right. She's my only sibling.

- It is. - Yeah!

And I'm also going to take your advice and not tell my mom about it.

Hold on, what? I didn't say that.

You didn't?

You know I didn't.

I don't know how to break it to her, Noelle.

I mean, I'm no therapist,

but keeping your mom out of the loop on this

is not a good idea, Angie.

Finding out you have a sister was a big enough secret

for Aunt Shirley.

There is no rhyme or reason to keep another one from her.

Why do you have to be so logical?

You're welcome.

Niece!

You came to help?

Mhm!

Good.

Angie, grab those heels. Noelle, bring that jacket.

Oh, Lord.

Chop, chop.

Move quickly.

Told you.

Here y'all go.

Now, y'all better not be stingy on the tips this time.

I got a couple dollars for you.

What are you scoping out?

Nothing.

It don't look like nothing to me.

I know when your wheels are spinning.

Don't make it noticable.

But you see that table over there where you just walked away from?

Where them two guys are sitting?

- Yeah. - The one on the left,

his name is Jason.

- And? - He's a loose cannon.

He's always in and out of jail.

Trouble either follows him or he creates it.

He don't look dangerous to me.

He look like every other guy up in this bar.

Well, he is.

I told you to keep an eye on him.

He's sleazy.

And you never know what he's up to.

So you better be careful,

Okay.

What you eating?

Chicken.

Why didn't you ask if I was hungry?

One, I didn't care.

Two, I knew you would expect me to pay for it.

How's work?

Barbara?

What do you want? Money?

Because if that's the case, I don't got it.

Look, I'm just trying to be nice

to you and have a conversation.

Everything is not about money.

You don't have to be so mean.

- Mean? - Yes, mean!

So you ignore me most of my life,

only paying attention to the men in your life,

and I'm the mean one?

I apologize for that.

Yeah,

well, apologies don't make up for the memories

and the scars of being neglected.

When my dad died,

you forgot all about me.

So you can't expect me

to have this abundant amount of love for you

when you never had it for me.

I am over gere going through a crisis,

and you're getting ready for a date?

Angie, stop being so dramatic!

Date or not,

you know I haven't missed a beat.

- You know I'll give you that.

Mhm, I know you will.

Did you read the other letters yet?

- No.

Are you going to?

Yes, eventually.

But for now, I need, like, some..

Oh, wait. He just pulled up.

Look, just text me the rest.

You got my location, right? - Yes, I have it.

Okay. I'll talk to you later.

- Love you.

Love you too! Bye.

No help! She's no help!

This is so stupid.

Okay, just.

Okay,

just get it together.

Get it together. Just...

- Erin, Erin, let me hold a hundred dollars.

- I don't got it.

- Come on.

You can't spare a hundred dollars. Really?

- I said I don't Got it. Now stop asking.

- Yeah. You got a hundred dollars.

You're selfish.

300. Better than last night.

- Oh my God. You seen my fan?

I am flashing.

Oh, Jesus. Thank you.

What you doing up so early?

- I'm always up early cleaning up your mess.

Drink.

- Can we just have one morning

without all the hostility, please.

Fine. I'll keep the peace.

- Thank you.

- I got a question though.

- Shoot.

- Did my father ever mention having any other children?

- No. Why you asked?

- Just wondering. I mean, it's not like he lived with us.

He could had a whole other family.

- Well, as far as I'm concerned,

you're Robert's only child.

Okay, so Noelle.

- What?

- It's only been two weeks,

but me and Erin are really hitting it off.

- Oh, y'all are cute. That is good.

- Oh my God.

Did I tell you that we're only two years apart

and that she was eight years old when our dad died?

- Girl, yes.

You told me twice already.

- I did?

- Yes. You're really excited about this new sister?

- I am.

I know. We're meeting for brunch tomorrow.

I'm so excited.

- That's cute.

Did you tell Aunt Shirley yet?

- No.

I am after I meet with Erin.

- Girl, you really need to tell her.

- I can't, she's not going to understand.

She's going to get upset.

- What do you think keeping her in the dark will do?

Exactly.

- Right.

I know.

That's why we are gonna tell her together.

- No, no. I'm not.

- Yes, yes, please. You have to-

It was so funny.

What made him do that?

I don't know.

Crazy.

What?

- Oh, I've been meaning to ask you.

How's life?

- Oh, it's been great.

Long and stressful of course, but I can't complain.

- Good, good.

- Oh, did Angie tell you She came and helped me in Noelle.

Oh,

Well, that was nice of you.

What made you do that?

- I went up there to talk to Noelle about my day.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

- Mm.

- My dad,

I went up to talk about my dad

and my sister, Erin.

Sister?

- I found her, mom.

- That's wonderful. How?

- Social media.

- Are you sure it's her?

- Well, there's not a lot of black girls named Erin Towns

and she posted a picture- - Oh.

- Of herself with my dad when she was a little girl.

I'm meeting her for brunch tomorrow.

- So you just went behind my back

and found her without talking to me first.

- Well, it wasn't like that, mommy.

- It wasn't exactly like that.

- Auntie.

- What were you thinking, Angie?

- Well, she's my sister.

- You don't her.

- But I wanna get to know her.

- Now, Shirl, calm down.

- Didn't I tell you to mind your business.

This current situation is your fault.

- Auntie. Don't be mad at Angie.

I was the one that told her it was a good idea

to try to find Erin.

- Oh, wow. So much for family.

- Auntie?

Right?

- Now, Shirley. Is this all really necessary?

- Oh, so now I'm the one that's tripping.

- Yes. You kind of are.

- I don't want that girl or her trap of a mother

around our family.

- You can't make that call.

- I just did.

Oh. How old is she?

24.

- Oh, so you guys are just two years apart.

- Mm.

- If you don't mind me asking, how did your dad die?

We never talked about it.

- Car accident.

- Drunk driver?

- Nah.

My dad used to be really into fast cars.

So apparently the night he died, he lost control of the car.

Crashed and died on impact.

- I wonder why he didn't tell neither one of you guys

about each other when you guys were kids.

- That's the same thing me and Angela were wondering.

- Neither one of your moms knew?

- Nope.

So your dad was just living a double life.

- That's what I'm assuming. I don't know much.

But tomorrow is when we gonna dive deep into the past, so.

- Well, I hope it goes well, okay?

- Me too.

I don't who else came in the house. I'm scared.

- What's going on?

I came home and the front door was open.

- No, no, no.

- We got everything we need. We'll be in touch.

- Okay. Thank you.

- No, no, no, no, it's gone.

What's gone?

- My money.

All my savings. Over $2,000 stolen.

- I'm sorry, Er.

- Where were you when this happened?

- I had wanted to go to the store

and I didn't have my key, so I left the door unlocked.

- Let me guess, your drunk ass went to go get some liquor.

- Yeah. You don't have to talk to me like this.

- You know what? Just get out.

I said get out.

- Hi.

I'm here to meet with somebody named Angela.

Is there a problem?

- No. Nope.

No problem at all. Last name, please.

- Davis.

How old are you?

Erin, right?

- Yeah.

- Right this way. Your sister is seated already.

- Hi.

Hi.

- It's so nice to finally meet you.

- Same. Oh.

- Look, I'm sorry I'm late.

The traffic was crazy. And I-

- It's cool. It's cool.

The salmon here is really good.

And the French onion soup.

It's a little spicy, but it's good.

- To be honest, Angela, I didn't come here to eat.

I came here to talk about my dad.

Our dad.

Look, I'm not trying to be rude.

I wanna get to know you,

but I really just wanna make sense outta all this.

- I agree with you.

All my life I thought I was the only child.

- Right. Right, right.

Okay, so let's just put it all out on the table, okay?

I'll ask you a question, you answer it.

You ask me a question, I'll answer it.

- Okay. How you feeling?

I'm good.

- Good. All right, turn around for me.

Right. Beautiful.

Go ahead.

Oh, happy you came to be my assistant

for the day.

- I came to keep my mind preoccupied.

You know, it's taking everything within me

not to go down to that restaurant, right?

Why are you so determined

to keep them away from each other?

They are sisters.

- She is not her sister.

- But she is. She has a photo to approve it.

Plus Robert said so in that letter.

- Forget that damn letter, Cyn.

- Okay, I know you're feeling some kind of way right now,

but keep your voice down.

I'm working, these are my peers

and I have to be professional.

Working?

Cyn, you are not a real stylist.

You work on low budget projects.

You've never styled one celebrity.

- How dare you try to minimize my accomplishments

because you're mad about a man who lied and cheated on you.

- Don't you dare disrespect my husband, Cynthia.

- Oh. So you want me to respect a man who disrespected you?

Okay.

- Look, I know you're going through something,

but don't you hate on my dreams and my goals?

Projecting your problems on me

would not fix the fact that Robert played you

and was never loyal to you.

- Well, what would you do if you were in my shoes,

Miss know-it-all. Huh?

Well, I forgot. You've never been married.

See, there you go again.

Throwing jabs.

- No, I'm being real. And you don't get it.

Nor will you ever.

- Shirley, what's really going on.

This isn't us. You don't talk to me like this.

I feel like it's something you're not telling me.

- I wouldn't tell you anything.

Now, we both know you can't keep a secret.

Keep it up

and you're gonna push your daughter away.

- Mind your business, Cynthia and stay in your place.

You can't bat your eyelashes

and wave your black card in my face

to get me to shut up or back down.

I'm not like everybody else.

I know you're my sister

and I get that the past is kicking you in the ass right now.

But if you ever disrespect me again, the present will too.

What was your mom

and our dad's relationship like?

- Like any other normal, happy couple.

I mean, they weren't married,

but my dad took real good care of us.

Before my dad died, life was good.

Me and my mama lived well.

I mean overall she was much happier,

less stressed.

We used to live in this gorgeous townhouse in the suburbs

in a gated community.

Every Friday he would take us out to eat or to the movies.

But birthdays, no, birthdays was the best.

He would never tell me no.

I remember he took me to Disney World one year

for my sixth birthday.

- He did?

Yeah.

Oh, we had a great time.

I remember being so happy he didn't have to leave

in the middle of the night.

And I know my mom was too.

Everything was almost perfect.

Once my dad died, life changed drastically.

Was it hard for y'all financially too?

- No. Our lives remained the same.

My mother inherited my father's estate.

- So y'all didn't face any financial hardships?

- No. No, we didn't.

Here's your card.

You have another payment method?

- Why?

Your card declined.

- Oh, don't worry. I got you.

Don't feel bad, girl. I've overspent before too.

Money comes and goes.

- I'm not reckless with my money.

- I never said you were.

I've thought I transferred money from my trust fund

when I really didn't.

All I'm saying is

I know it's a struggle keeping up with money.

- Struggle? You got a trust fund.

You don't know a damn thing about struggle.

Oh, Erin.

Uh!

- Okay. Wait.

Now run it back, what happened?

- Basically her card declined

and she stormed out of the restaurant.

- No.

- Yeah.

- Girl. She was probably embarrassed.

- Yeah.

- And you didn't answer my other question.

Why did you feel jealous of her?

- Well, hearing how hands on my dad was with her.

Disney World, eating out, movie theaters every Friday.

It wasn't like that with me and my mom.

I mean, we had family dinners at home,

but we had never taken a trip.

- Maybe he had to do that with them.

- Had to? I'm not following.

- Well, obviously Barbara was the other woman, so-

- Okay.

- Nine times outta 10. He was barely around.

And you did say she and her mom were really happy

when they went to Disney World

'cause uncle Robert didn't have to leave, right?

- Yeah.

- Well, there you have it.

I guarantee you, whenever he did visit her,

the time they spent together was brief.

She probably barely even remembers

'cause she was just a kid.

And yeah, he probably did go crazy on Friday nights

and one time for a weekend in Orlando.

But your dad was home every night

with you and aunt Shirley.

- Yeah. I didn't even think that deep into it.

- Girl, trust me.

I bet you my bottom dollar,

she probably wished he was always around

like he was with you.

- So I'm bugging, huh?

Yeah.

- Yeah, of course.

Oh. Ooh.

- All right. Here you are.

- Thank you.

- How did you know I would be here?

- Your IG story?

- Look, I apologize for the other day.

It's just life has been lifing lately.

- No need to go into details. Okay?

I understand life hasn't been the easiest

for you and your mom.

We just found each other. I don't wanna lose you.

- Neither do I.

So like what do you do- - For money?

- I mean, I know you gotta trust bone and everything,

but you gotta work somewhere.

- Right. You're right.

I work at a law firm.

- You know what? Forget it, let's just take a selfie.

- Wow. I can't believe

you still live in this raggedy ass house.

You could have at least invested in it.

Or yourself.

But nonetheless, I've come to talk about our daughters.

Angie found the letter that Robert had written you

and she found it in the-

- Suitcase.

- Yes. Suitcase.

She decided to do some searching on her own

and she came across Erin on social media.

They've been in communication and hanging out ever since.

- Really? I didn't know that.

I mean, it explains why Erin asked me

if Robert had any other kids and I just told her no.

- Mm. The reason I'm here

is I want you to keep your daughter away from mine.

- Man. Erin is a 26-year-old grown ass woman.

I can't make that girl do something that she don't wanna do.

Plus Robert wanted them to be in each other lives anyway.

But you wouldn't allow that.

- Oh, I don't give a what Robert wanted.

He's not here, is he?

He no longer holds the deck to the cards. I do.

And what I say goes.

- Haven't you kept them girls away from each other

long enough?

Let them have a relationship. What's so wrong with that?

- You know exactly what's wrong with that, Barbara?

Come on. That was a long time ago.

I mean, yes, I slept with your husband. Yes, I had a baby.

But don't hold my daughter's feet to the fire

because of something that I did.

- You will do what I say.

- And if I don't?

You owe about what?

$5,000 in property taxes on this house

and it's on the forfeiture list.

That's right. I did my homework before I came by.

But you know, I can make that all go away.

With just a flick of a wrist.

Oh, you know that old saying, don't you?

Money talks.

- So you can get my house out of foreclosure?

- Yes.

- How I know you gonna be honest?

Well, I'm not the one who couldn't be trusted.

Remember?

And woman to woman, you owe me.

- I'll see what I can do.

mm, quite, don't see what you can do.

Just do it.

Blessed.

You can't be serious.

Oh, but she is.

I see.

Don't you think DNA testing is a bit extreme?

- No, I don't. I mean, what if we have other siblings?

We didn't know about each other. What if there's more of us?

And what about you too?

You always question if your dad had other children.

- Yeah, I did. But that's when we were teenagers.

That thought hasn't crossed my mind in years.

- Well, don't let this opportunity pass you up.

Y'all ready?

- If you assist.

Okay. I guess there's no harm in seeing.

- How do you do this?

You gotta go back

- You know what? You were right.

I do love your cousin.

- See, I knew y'all would get along.

- Oh, you know what?

My bad, girl.

- Oh, it's cool.

Those are the rest of the letters from the suitcase.

What?

- This is my mom's handwriting. It's addressed to your mom.

- Really? Well, read it.

What does it say?

- Your mom knew about me.

- What? No. No, she didn't.

- My entire life I had to scrape by

only receiving the bare minimum because of your mom,

she knew I was his daughter.

- No, my mom would never do anything like that.

My mom is not that kind of person.

- It's right here.

My mom begging and pleading for help.

And your mom did nothing.

- Erin.

Erin, wait.

- What's wrong with her?

Uh, and before you ask. Yes, I bought you some food too.

- You lied to me, mom.

- Lied? About what?

- "Money is tight right now

and I can barely keep food in the fridge for me and Erin.

I know you and I aren't on the best terms, Shirley,

but regardless, Erin is Robert's daughter too.

I appreciate you gifting us the house

even though the plumbing sucks,

the roof needs to be repaired and the hot water tank is out.

But I'll make the best of it. We need your help, please.

Barbara."

- Well, what about your father cheating on me, on us?

Our family. Was that okay?

There was so many times he put those two before us, Angela.

- You were wrong, mom.

You could've given Barbara some money or something.

- How do you know that I didn't because I did.

- That rundown house.

I mean, dad had dozens of houses.

You could've given Barbara a better house.

- Oh, she got exactly what she deserved.

She was hired to do a job. Not sleep with my husband.

Get pregnant and keep the baby.

- Keep the baby?

Barbara was hired as a secretary

at your father's real estate office.

Shortly after, they began having an affair

and eventually she became pregnant.

Robert was forthcoming about the pregnancy

because he wanted a child.

A daughter, to be exact.

How was that situation supposed to make me feel, huh?

My husband, the man that I was married to

was having his first child with another woman.

So one day

when I knew that Robert wouldn't be at the office,

I went up there and I made Barbara an offer.

I told her to abort the baby and I would write her a check

that she couldn't resist.

- But she wanted to keep Erin?

- No, not at first.

She was willing to take the money and leave the job.

But then somebody talked her off the ledge,

which I'm assuming it was Robert.

He probably promised her life of stability.

And then one day he just cut her off.

And to this day, I don't even know why, but I didn't care

because it gave me a chance to revive our marriage.

He had a second chance.

And then he was gone.

So don't be fooled.

I've always been very kind to Barbara

until she gave me a reason not to be.

She's the one who betrayed me. Not the other way around.

- But don't you see mommy?

There's only one individual that suffered from all this

because of grown folk's egos and emotions.

Erin didn't deserve the childhood that she had.

Erin didn't deserve to be abandoned in the way that she was.

- I understand what you're saying, Angela.

But her mother decided to get pregnant by a married man.

Erin suffered because of the decisions made by her mother.

- Thank you.

- You know you can always count on me.

Well, I gotta go. I'll call you later.

- All right. - All right.

- Ms. Thomas.

- Jason.

- What was he doing here?

- I know you don't think you got the authority

to be questioning me.

- You're my daughter and this is my house.

- Barbara, please.

What was he doing here?

Both of us know that death follows that boy.

- He gave me money. Does that answer your question?

- And you took money from him.

I...

We needed the money, Barbara.

- Erin, all money ain't good money.

Like I said, what I think you should do with your...

- My money was stolen.

I got $50 to my name and bills are due.

It don't matter what you think.

I gotta keep my head above water.

It ain't like I can count on you.

I'm not the daughter Robert left the trust to.

- It's been a week

and Erin still hasn't returned my calls or text.

- Oh, not trying to be funny, but I kind of get it.

Yeah, I do too.

I should have read all those letters.

I was just so stuck on the one saying I had a sister.

- Oh girl, don't feel bad. It's not your fault.

- I know, but I still feel bad.

- And you know, you have to forgive your mom.

- I forgive her, Noelle.

I'm saying though, she is a large part of the domino effect.

I have to fix this.

- I mean, you can always go pull up on her. Not like that.

But I doubt it if she'll dismiss you

if you're in her presence.

- I don't know about that one.

- Just try it.

She just might. She kinda mean.

- Girl, do it.

- I can't handle rejection. - Oh my gosh.

- She hates me. - The drama, girl.

Try it. - Okay.

- What's the worst that can happen?

- Where are you going?

Angie?

- To the bar where Erin works.

- And where's this bar located?

Is it a crime for me to ask where the bar is located

for your safety?

- Mom, please, can I just...

Let me handle this without you trying to regulate

and control me.

- I'll let you know if they come back.

Normally when someone ignores your phone calls,

it's because they don't wanna speak or see you.

This is your second time showing up to my job unannounced.

You can't blame me for what happened.

- I'm not.

- I can't tell.

Every time something goes left you dash out.

To keep from crashing out.

Look Angela, I'm tough.

But finding out your mom knew about me

and did nothing whatsoever hurt my feelings.

- It should have. I would've been hurt too.

I'm not faulting you for that,

but come on Erin, you gotta work with me.

We're sisters. I got you.

But I need to know that you got me too.

- I got you.

Yes.

Oh my God. You ever had...

what's that stuff called?

You know the chemical that they put-

- Come here.

Get in the van.

I said get in the van.

If I'm gonna repeat myself you're gonna regret it.

- Angie?

Hi, this is Angie.

Leave a message after the beep.

Hi, this is Angie. Leave a message after the beep.

Come on, Angie.

What can you possibly want

at four in the morning?

Angie's not home, Cynth. She left around 9, 9:30.

She went to go meet Erin at that bar she works at.

Okay. Okay. Where is the bar located?

- I don't know. Somewhere in the city.

She wouldn't even tell me.

She's still upset over that stupid letter

that Barbara sent me.

I'm really worried. She never stays out this late, Cynthia.

Calm down Shirl. Lemme think.

Don't Noelle and Angie share locations.

- Yeah, they do. They do.

All right, let me go wake Noelle up.

- Okay.

Bye.

- All right.

Let's go.

Don't hurt my sister. Please don't hurt my sister.

Angela.

Oh my God.

Swing on me again and see what happens to you.

No. Now what are you doing to her

please, Angela. Please.

No, please, please don't hurt her. Please, please, please.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- No Angela. Please.

Mom, this is our car.

- Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my God.

- Okay. Okay. Breathe. Breathe, okay?

Don't panic, Shirl. We are gonna figure this out, okay?

Baby, call the police, okay?

- Okay. I'm calling them.

Take a deep breath.

We're gonna find her. We are gonna find her.

- Yeah. So I think we finally got a break in that case.

- That's good. That's good.

- Yeah, I'm excited about it. How's things going for you?

- It's going. I can't complain.

You have a 505 at the Collective bar.

- You got a description?

Mid twenties, African American woman,

about 5'3 medium built.

She was last seen wearing a brown yoga track suit

with a blue jean jacket.

- Copy that. 10-4.

- Hayden. - Yes sir.

- Did dispatch say there was a missing person

at the Collective bar?

- Yep. I'm on my way there right now.

Where's the money?

What money? I don't have any money.

You just locked up. The money from the bar.

- Please, please, please, please.

Don't hurt my sister, I have money.

I can call my mom. Just lemme call my mom, please.

Where's the money?

- Please, please, stop please.

Please.

Help me.

- Ladies, after looking at the camera footage

of the young women being taken,

we're gonna need all of you to come down to the station.

- For what?

Shouldn't you be out looking for 'em?

- That's the purpose of this, Ms. Davis.

We have to ask further questions for this investigation.

- All right. Come on.

- Auntie, you could sit here.

I'd rather stand.

- There you go.

- Thank you. - There you go.

- Thank you.

- Are you a waiter or a detective?

Shouldn't you be out there looking for my daughter?

- Miss- - Mrs. Davis?

- My apologies.

Mrs. Davis, my guys are out there looking now.

- Shouldn't you be out there working the case too.

- Shirley, he's only trying to do his job, okay?

- Do not Shirley me, Cynthia,

You would not be like this if you were in this predicament.

So stop.

- Where are you going?

- To the bathroom. Is that okay with you?

- I love her, but I hate the way that she talks to you.

Why do you put up with this, ma?

What is she doing here?

- The same thing that you doing here.

Concerned about my child.

- Your child is the reason that my child

is in this predicament.

- Your daughter went looking for Erin,

not the other way around if you wanna be technical about it.

Your daughter's the reason why we here.

- Ladies, ladies. Come on.

- No, Shirley,

I'm tired of being your punching bag.

We are in this boat together, whether you like it or not.

- Just because you had a child with my husband,

we are not the same.

You would never be my equal.

- Oh, Shirley.

- Stand down, Cynthia.

- Even in the midst of something this serious, this big,

you still find a reason to cause chaos and division.

Isn't that clicking with you?

Our daughters have been kidnapped.

And you looking for a reason to argue?

Well, we get it, Shirley. We get it.

And you know what I'm gonna do you one better,

just make an announcement.

Hey everybody, this here is Shirley.

She was married to Robert.

She got the ring, the house, the car, the clothes,

the money, the businesses.

She got everything.

And now that that's out the way,

can we please focus on what is important here?

I can't.

I can't. I can't-

- That was brilliant. It really was brilliant.

But you know, Angie told me about those conversations

that she had with Erin about how you are an unfit mother

and how you used to be an alcoholic.

By the way, this smells like you still are.

And then you wanna just sashay your little self up in here

acting like you are a good mother out of all the days.

Well, guess what, Barbara? It's too late.

Yeah. And what about you?

- What about me?

I've never put anything or anyone before Angela.

- Oh, but yes you have, sweetie.

- I'm listening.

- Her whole life,

you kept our daughters separated out of spite.

Just like you said when you waltzed your happy ass

up into my house, Angela went looking for Erin.

So obviously having a sister is something that she desired

and you kept that away from her knowingly.

So don't sit here and try to clown me

and act like you are mother of the year

because you too have skeletons, boo.

- No, no. Wait.

Please, please, please, please don't, don't, don't.

Here's the burner.

Shouldn't take much to get Angela to talk,

but if she don't do whatever you want.

- Whatever I want?

- I could care less. Just get her ass on the phone.

All right

- Please.

What are you doing to my sister, please?

- Same thing I'm gonna do to you if mommy don't pay up.

- Now, how you know this plan gonna work.

- Because of me. Duh stupid?

- You care to share

because we've been sitting here the past hour

and you haven't given no insight.

- You'll know the next move when I tell you.

- No, I'm gonna need to know now.

I'm a part of this too.

- You should be thankful

I'm even splitting the bag with you.

So just fall back and follow my lead. Simple.

- Are we really taking orders from her?

- Man, just chill out, Re. Just play your role.

- Soon as we get the money I'm offing her.

- Sounds like a plan.

- Me and you gonna split the 300K?

We let her think she running the show

soon as she least expect it.

One to the dome.

- Easy look.

You see this?

- Erin.

We gonna make this quick.

As long as you do what I say,

you and your sister won't get hurt.

Am I clear? I don't hear you, am I clear?

- Yes.

Good.

I'll look at you however I wanna look at you.

You know what? I don't even know why you here.

- No. You know what?

Let's not stop playing these games with you.

You get on my damn nerves.

- Good.

- You know what? You need to get your sister.

Can somebody put a muzzle on her?

- Do I look like a dog to you?

- Roof. Roof.

- I am so glad I sent Noelle home

so she don't have to see you act like this.

- Can you both just shut up?

- Oh no. You should up.

- No. Act like an adult.

- Hello? - Mom.

- Wait a minute, put it on speaker.

- Angie.

I wanna make this interaction

as smooth as possible.

- Who is this?

That don't matter.

To keep it short, I'm capable of many things.

- Please just don't harm my daughter.

Shhhh.

I won't. First you gotta shut up and listen.

I need 150K for both of 'em by midnight.

And I'll send you a little motivation

to help speed up the process.

Don't drag your feet.

It's done. Now we just wait.

- Good.

- Okay. We have to be at the bank first thing in the morning

and we have to go to more than one

to withdraw out sums like that.

We?

I'm not paying anything for Erin.

- I'll pay her half.

Oh, you don't have that kind of money.

- You don't know what I have.

- You better off selling that raggedy house of yours

or anything else you can sell.

Oh, who am I kidding? Nobody wants to pay for a pass around.

- Shirley, we have no choice or time to wait.

Angie and Erin is a package deal.

Barbara, are you okay?

- That voice sounds familiar.

- You think you know who it is?

- Yes. Yes I do.

I think...

No, no, I know it's Jason.

- Who is Jason?

- This guy from the neighborhood that Erin knows well.

- What do you mean well?

- Oh dammit, Erin.

- Do you think Erin and this Jason guy is working together?

- I hate to admit it, but I do think it.

- Is he capable of murder?

- I just know that he wouldn't hurt Erin.

Wow.

So this was all a scheme to get money from me and Angela.

Unbelievable.

She's just like you.

Money hungry and desperate.

- Look, I hate that this is happening,

but had I known what Erin was up to, I would've stopped her.

- But you didn't. And we're here.

- Look, I wanna help.

- We don't need your help, Barbara.

- Shirley, don't shut her down.

At least she's willing to help her get Angie back.

- Hell no.

She probably put her daughter up to it.

- Really? - Yes. Really?

- Think. Use your brain, Shirley.

I just told you who was on the phone.

I know this looks bad,

but I would never do something this low.

- Give her a chance. We gotta work together.

No, I don't trust her. I don't trust her.

Why should I trust you?

No. Why? Why should I trust you?

You slept with my husband.

You got pregnant with his first child, a daughter.

You knew how much I wanted to have a baby.

You took that from me. You gave him, but I couldn't.

I let you into my home.

How do I know I can trust you?

This is my daughter I'm talking about.

- Barbara. We need to talk.

- We have nothing to discuss.

Just find my daughter, Ian. Find her.

- Detective.

So I see why they was targeting Shirley Davis's daughter.

After Robert Davis passed away. She became very wealthy.

But there's something I wanted to ask you.

I was going through her file and do you know her?

It says that you were the first responder on the scene.

- Yes. I was, but I never met her.

I was patrolling the area when I was a rookie

and that's when I got the dispatch.

- Oh wow. So you were there

the night that Robert Davis passed away

and now you're working his daughter's case.

That's crazy.

- Yeah, it is crazy.

- Yeah.

Well, okay, well, anyways, I stopped by to give this to you.

Jason Stanford.

He's been in and outta juvenile since he was 14 years old

for petty theft.

When he turned 18, he caught a gun charge.

- Okay. So nothing too serious?

- Well, I wouldn't say that exactly. Take a look at that.

About a year ago he was on trial for murder.

But check this out.

The eyewitness that put him at the scene of the case

was found dead the day before he was supposed to testify.

And a female suspect was seen fleeing the scene.

We still don't know who she is.

- Hmm.

So we can say that Jason Stanford,

he wasn't the one that pulled the trigger.

- So he had someone do it for him.

- Do you think it was Erin?

- I don't know.

- Well, I'm not saying that she did,

but it is a strong possibility.

- You think so?

- I mean favor for a favor kind of thing.

Jason's on trial. Erin gets him off.

- And as a favor, he helped orchestrate a ransom.

- I mean, it's not too far from reality.

We have seen these things before,

especially when people are desperate.

- Can you check into that for me?

I need to know if Erin had an alibi.

- Will do.

- Do you need anything, Shirley?

- No.

- You need to rest.

- No, not until this mess is over.

I should have never let Angie walk out that door.

Actually, I should have done more

to keep her away from Erin.

- When are you gonna take accountability?

- For?

- 50 to 60% of this mess we are in.

Had you been truthful and not left Angie in the dark?

Maybe she wouldn't have went behind your back to find Erin.

Better yet, have you not kept Angie and Erin apart,

none of this would be happening.

- You've got it wrong.

- No, you do.

Erin deserved to have had the same childhood that Angie had.

Robert left everything to you.

Everything.

You could have gave Erin what she rightfully deserved

and maybe she wouldn't have felt cheated.

- I don't want my presence here to aggravate anybody.

- Come in. We need you.

- Shirley, can I please talk to you?

I'm gonna have to I just really wanna help.

You have no idea how guilty I feel about what Erin is doing.

And to keep it all the way 100 with you,

if we would've just handled our businesses

as grown women back then none of this would be happening.

Yes, I slept with your husband

and yes, I knew what I was doing and I'm sorry,

but you have to please believe me.

I didn't know Erin was up to this

and woman to woman, I apologize.

- I hear you. I hear you.

Anything, detective?

- No, not yet.

But my guys are out there looking at it right now

to figure out what's going on.

- Okay. Okay.

Front door.

- You can't keep ignoring me.

- What you wanna talk about, Ian?

- Erin.

You wanna talk about her?

The last time that you mentioned Erin to me,

I got the door slammed in my face.

- Come on man. I was young, newly married.

Just got my job at DPD. A baby wasn't on my mind.

- Wow, a baby wasn't on your mind.

That's no excuse.

- What you mean that's no...

what you mean that's no excuse.

Woman, are you crazy?

Do you not remember you were sleeping with me and Robert

at the same time?

- And?

- And? So you expect me to believe

that she was mine right off rip. Just like that.

- No. What I expect you to do was stand by my side.

- I kept tabs on her for years. What are you talking about?

- And you never came through.

- Is she my daughter?

Well, is she? Yes or no?

- No. Happy?

After all these years, now you wanna come through

like you care.

- I don't know what I'm feeling.

- I just can't believe this.

- Something has got to give.

Hello?

Bring the money inside the building

when you get here and come alone.

Come alone. Clear?

- Clear.

He doesn't want me to bring anyone with me.

- Oh no. You're not going alone.

- Definitely not.

He just sent me the location.

- Send me the location too.

- Look, I don't wanna lose my daughter by upsetting him.

- I promise you, you will not lose your daughter.

- Sis, you're okay.

- All right. They should be here soon.

- Get rid of her already.

- Well, we gotta get rid of you first.

- About time. I was getting tired of him.

- You?

Well, it's done now.

- All right, let's stick to the plan.

- Let's do it.

- I can't believe we working together.

I wouldn't let you go after them girls

without me.

- And please have our back.

- Please.

I got you. I'm not far behind.

I got back up on the way too.

They will never see me coming.

- Well, let's do this.

- Let's go.

Come on. Let's go before they come.

- I heard a shot.

- Me too, I think the other one killed the other one.

I don't know, but we gotta go now.

Come on, come on.

Shoot. Ooh, shoot.

- Erin? - Huh?

- Where's your bruise?

- Okay, okay. Okay.

- What happened?

- Figured it out.

- Should I kill her.

- No, we need her alive. She's our golden ticket.

Just grab her and et's go.

Your mama better come with all the money. All of it.

- Oh my baby.

- Back up.

- Whoo, oh, oh. Look who decided to finally come together.

Too bad you're 26 years too late.

- Erin, you're gonna regret this.

- Barbara. Shut up.

- So you're just playing victim now?

- The nerve. You the queen of playing victim, you-

- I don't care about all that.

Please. Here, just take the money, please.

Just gimme my baby here.

Don't cut me off while I'm talking.

- You got the money, Erin.

Was this all a part of your plan all along?

To trick my baby. Making her think that you cared about her?

- I did.

You are to blame for all of this.

Erin-

- You knew about me and you shut me out.

I got every reason to wanna get my get back with you.

Maybe if we kill Angela, we'll even score.

No, no, no.

- What you think, huh?

'Cause I deserve everything she got, plus more.

He had me first.

- I know.

- You know what I think will make this

an even better outcome is if I kill you.

- No, no.

- Yep, do it.

- No, no.

Drop it now.

Freeze.

It's okay, it's okay.

- Mom. - My baby.

My baby.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- I made you some food.

- I'm okay

- Angela.

- I'm okay, mom.

Please just let me be.

- Okay.

If you need me, I'll be downstairs.

What are you doing here?

- I just came to check on you.

- Why?

- I just wanna make sure you're okay.

- I'm fine. Now can you leave.

My family's inside

and I don't want them to see you here.

- You're still dismissing me after everything I've done?

- Ian, I appreciate you getting rid of Robert for me

and helping me get my daughter back.

But it doesn't extend any further than that.

Goodbye, Ian.

- Hold on, hold on, Shirley.

Listen, man, I care about you. I always have.

- Hmm. Ian, I didn't care about you then.

And I for sure don't care about you now.

You've served your purpose. Now be gone.

- You two losers ain't getting nothing today.

Towns, get up. You got mail.

Barbara.

After everything I've done for you,

I can't believe you lied to me.

- I don't know, Noelle. I'm nervous.

- It's finally here though.

- I know, but I kind of don't...

I don't know.

- I know, I know, but still.

- What's that, sweetie?

- The results?

- What results?

- Erin and I took a swab test.

We were curious if we had any other siblings.

I did one too.

- You did?

- Yeah. Come on, open it. What does it say?

- Okay.

- Hurry up. Hurry up.

Erin and I aren't sisters.

What? Are you serious?

- I knew it. I knew it.

I told you that girl wasn't your sister.

- Wait, but I do have a sister.

- Who is it?

- You.

- What?

- Yeah. It seems like my mom

wasn't the only one hiding something.

- Okay, you guys.

- You're my sister and my cousin.

I can explain everything.

You guys, listen.

- You dirty ass whore.

I can't believe you was sleeping with my husband

this entire time, Cynthia.

I'm gonna beat your ass. Get outta my house.

Don't you come back here anymore?

You are no longer my sister. If not,

The blood test results came back

for the insurance policy and Erin is not my daughter.

I don't ever wanna see you again.
