00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:26,097
<i>He cried, my vagina cried,
and then, he cried some more.</i>

161
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:30,667
<i>Problem was, he was still crying
at breakfast the next morning.</i>

162
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:32,974
- [crying]
<i>- DIARRA: And at lunch.</i>

163
00:07:33,235 --> 00:07:35,803
<i>And when he was still crying
at dinner three weeks later,</i>

164
00:07:36,064 --> 00:07:39,241
<i>I realized either my cooking
is even worse than I thought,</i>

165
00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:41,504
<i>or I had bitten off
more than I could fuck.</i>

166
00:07:41,765 --> 00:07:45,639
Y'all...
he's, like, very traumatized.

167
00:07:45,813 --> 00:07:47,728
Bruh, he was kidnapped twice.

168
00:07:47,902 --> 00:07:49,947
Yes, but now it's like
he's kidnapped me.

169
00:07:50,208 --> 00:07:51,558
I'm his hostage.

170
00:07:51,819 --> 00:07:52,950
He won't get a job, Aja.

171
00:07:53,211 --> 00:07:54,778
He's not communicating.

172
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:56,911
And all the crying, it's like,

173
00:07:57,172 --> 00:07:59,217
I don't know
the scientific name for it.

174
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,654
Try me.

175
00:08:01,002 --> 00:08:04,135
It's like--
it's like a pussy dryer-upper.

176
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:06,050
- Oh.
- You know, I feel like

177
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:09,010
he's getting his tears directly
from my vagina at this point.

178
00:08:09,184 --> 00:08:11,665
See, the world says,
be sensitive, Black man,

179
00:08:11,926 --> 00:08:14,145
let out your feelings,
but y'all really want us toxic.

180
00:08:14,406 --> 00:08:16,452
No, no, no, I want him stable.

181
00:08:16,713 --> 00:08:19,237
I can't handle this shit,
I'm fucked up too.

182
00:08:19,411 --> 00:08:20,674
Right, and then
you're recently divorced,

183
00:08:20,848 --> 00:08:22,502
your biological clock
is ticking.

184
00:08:22,763 --> 00:08:25,853
Not just ticking, Aja,
barking at me like DM-fucking-X.

185
00:08:26,027 --> 00:08:28,464
Just... [imitates barking]

186
00:08:28,725 --> 00:08:30,161
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ma'am.

187
00:08:30,422 --> 00:08:32,424
I hear you, my friend.
It's just...

188
00:08:33,121 --> 00:08:35,036
I don't think that
you can say all of that to him

189
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:36,907
without sounding, just...

190
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:38,953
- Like a bitch.
- [gasp]

191
00:08:39,214 --> 00:08:41,521
Well, I was gonna say
a bad person, but... yeah.

192
00:08:41,782 --> 00:08:45,089
Y'all, I love this man
so much that I risked my life

193
00:08:45,263 --> 00:08:48,310
- and y'all's life to find him.
- And I'm still mad about that.

194
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:49,920
So even if I dump him,
shit,

195
00:08:50,181 --> 00:08:51,966
I'm still the best girlfriend
he's ever had.

196
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:54,490
- Not if you abandon him.
- Mm-hmm.

197
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:57,406
Well, Aja got to break up with
Keyshawn because he was poor.

198
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,756
No, no, no,
because he made poor decisions.

199
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:02,454
- My God wants me equally yoked.
- She ain't shit either.

200
00:09:02,716 --> 00:09:04,456
We coulda had season tickets.

201
00:09:04,718 --> 00:09:06,197
Whatever, okay, you know what?

202
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:08,330
You made your bed, you lay
in them tear-stained sheets.

203
00:09:08,504 --> 00:09:10,637
Oh, come on, Aja.

204
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:14,379
We didn't go through
that much to find him.

205
00:09:14,641 --> 00:09:16,251
Girl, Tea got shot.

206
00:09:16,512 --> 00:09:18,732
Getting shot is the best thing
that ever happened to Tea.

207
00:09:18,906 --> 00:09:20,516
I mean, I am getting
a lot of sympathy ass off

208
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:23,214
- that bullet wound.
- Maybe Tea came up,

209
00:09:23,475 --> 00:09:25,913
- but the rest of us suffered.
<i>- DIARRA: It was true.</i>

210
00:09:26,174 --> 00:09:28,306
<i>I'd spent my divorce
settlement relocating</i>

211

<i>Moni and Roman after Ro's
shop mysteriously blew up.</i>

212
00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:36,184
<i>And Danger... Shit, I couldn't
even bear to think about it.</i>

213
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:38,273
Hey, Chuck.
The backhand's looking strong.

214
00:09:38,447 --> 00:09:39,883
Thanks, Aja.

215
00:09:40,144 --> 00:09:41,537
You didn't suffer, Aja.

216
00:09:41,798 --> 00:09:43,104
You joined a yacht club.

217
00:09:43,278 --> 00:09:45,019
Yeah, but my boat is on layaway.

218
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,498
Okay, now back to you.

219
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,935
Either you stay
and be a good girlfriend,

220
00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:49,980
or leave and be a bad person.

221
00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:52,026
Mmm...

222
00:09:52,287 --> 00:09:54,811
<i>So like any good girlfriend,
I stayed.</i>

223
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:56,857
<i>Hell,
I planned the damn barbecue.</i>

224
00:09:57,118 --> 00:09:58,989
<i>I learned the family.</i>

225
00:09:59,163 --> 00:10:01,949
You look just like big man,
but taller.

226
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:04,081
<i>DIARRA:
Sheila was Vonda's sister,</i>

227
00:10:04,342 --> 00:10:06,518
<i>and she was just as loud
as her son, Mac.</i>

228
00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:08,564
SHEILA: I'm serious, though.
Look at him.

229
00:10:08,825 --> 00:10:12,481
- You are so tall, baby.
- He ain't that goddamn tall.

230
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:15,310
Y'all about to have him applying
for work at the State Fair

231
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:18,966
like he's some full-fledged
goddamn giant or something.

232
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:20,794
<i>DIARRA: Ron was Sheila's ex</i>

233
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:22,970
<i>who helped us out
by renting us a place.</i>

234
00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:24,841
Did I say shit
about a State Fair?

235
00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:27,801
They've been divorced longer
than they've been married,

236
00:10:28,062 --> 00:10:30,673
so while he's still got
to come to every function,

237
00:10:30,847 --> 00:10:32,762
loud-talking is beyond me.

238
00:10:33,023 --> 00:10:34,416
'Cause I know how
to keep a party going.

239
00:10:34,677 --> 00:10:36,070
You do know
how to make a party go.

240
00:10:36,244 --> 00:10:38,072
It goes straight to hell
with all them hussies.

241
00:10:38,246 --> 00:10:40,422
And that's why she divorced you.

242
00:10:40,596 --> 00:10:44,513
<i>DIARRA: But like a bad person,
I had an ulterior motive.</i>

243
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:47,951
<i>See,
Vonda Brooks had lied to me,</i>

244
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:53,087
<i>and I was pretty sure she was
sitting on a big fucking secret.</i>

245
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:56,090
I bet y'all been
like this since...

246
00:10:56,351 --> 00:10:58,266
- Northern?
- Northern. Mm-hmm.

247
00:10:58,527 --> 00:11:04,054
- Where Vonda was class of...
- '73! Homecoming queen.

248
00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:06,187
Don't be telling
all my business.

249
00:11:06,361 --> 00:11:08,580
- Everybody know it.
- It ain't everybody's business

250
00:11:08,755 --> 00:11:10,713
just because everybody know it
and everybody know it,

251
00:11:10,887 --> 00:11:12,323
you don't need to say it.

252
00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:14,369
Excuse me. Thanks.

253

and everybody here came to make
sure I knew what I was doing.

261
00:11:45,052 --> 00:11:46,357
Like I was finna make gay ribs.

262

Ooh, gay ribs sound lit.

00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,174
<i>but this was the only
locked room in her house,</i>

312
00:13:47,435 --> 00:13:49,567
<i>and I was sure
that something inside</i>

313
00:13:49,741 --> 00:13:53,615
<i>would reveal the true
identity of the Chief.</i>

314
00:13:54,268 --> 00:13:55,660
<i>MAN: The kid's gotta die.</i>

315
00:13:56,009 --> 00:13:57,880
<i>WOMAN: The Chief
ordered a hit on a child.</i>

316
00:13:58,054 --> 00:13:59,621
<i>Who's the fucking Chief?</i>

317
00:14:01,014 --> 00:14:03,277
You wanna know who the Chief is.

318
00:14:03,712 --> 00:14:06,846
First, let me tell you
a crazy story.

319
00:14:07,107 --> 00:14:09,761
<i>DIARRA: I forgot to mention
looking for the Chief</i>

320
00:14:09,936 --> 00:14:11,502
<i>had already gotten me
in trouble.</i>

321
00:14:11,763 --> 00:14:15,289
About a sloppy teacher
who left breadcrumbs,

322
00:14:15,463 --> 00:14:19,380
also known as evidence,
all over the goddamn city.

323
00:14:20,424 --> 00:14:24,646
I laid out all her bullshit
for my boss and the mayor,

324
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:29,085
how I could place her
at three separate mob hits,

325
00:14:29,346 --> 00:14:33,133
maybe even took out Velvet,
because the last time I checked,

326
00:14:33,307 --> 00:14:36,092
gangsters aren't whacked
with crystal hippie daggers.

327
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:40,140
I didn't kill anybody,
Holstein, I swear to God.

328
00:14:41,532 --> 00:14:43,795
But then
the mayor's phone rings.

329
00:14:45,667 --> 00:14:47,364
And the next thing I know,

330
00:14:47,625 --> 00:14:48,975
they're all happy as a clam

331
00:14:49,149 --> 00:14:52,456
to chalk this whole thing up
to a turf war.

332
00:14:52,848 --> 00:14:54,545
That's who the Chief is.

333
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,113
A voice on the phone

334
00:14:57,287 --> 00:15:00,247
who plays the city's
most powerful people

335
00:15:00,421 --> 00:15:01,813
like it's nothing.

336
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:08,603
And he wants all of this
to go away, including you.

337
00:15:08,777 --> 00:15:11,780
This is our official statement.

338
00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:15,566
Only we'll know the real story.

339
00:15:15,827 --> 00:15:18,482
Kind of a lot of people
know the real story.

340
00:15:18,656 --> 00:15:19,919
I'm not very good with secrets.

341
00:15:20,093 --> 00:15:22,791
Chris Steele,
in town sightseeing,

342
00:15:22,965 --> 00:15:26,229
opens up his app and
a batshit school teacher,

343
00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:30,190
that's you, tells him he looks
a lot like Deonte Brooks.

344
00:15:30,364 --> 00:15:33,367
"Deonte was abducted by
an exotic dancer

345
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,369
with mental health issues?

346
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:38,763
She raised him as her own
before she died last year?"

347
00:15:39,025 --> 00:15:40,461
Flora saved him.

348
00:15:40,722 --> 00:15:41,984
You're not getting it.

349
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,247
None of this ever happened.

350
00:15:44,508 --> 00:15:45,814
Be thankful.

351
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,685
It's a stay of execution.

352
00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:50,862
So what--

353
00:15:51,341 --> 00:15:52,777
what was the cuffs
and all this shit?

354
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:55,693
That was you just being
super fucking dramatic?

355
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:58,000
Number one,
that's fucked up, Holstein.

356
00:15:58,174 --> 00:15:59,741
I have very dainty wrists.

357
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:01,961
And two...

358
00:16:02,222 --> 00:16:04,224
you guys are all dirty.

359
00:16:06,269 --> 00:16:07,618
Got it.

360
00:16:08,489 --> 00:16:11,318
I'm not dirty.
I'm outnumbered.

361
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:12,841
That hippie dagger?

362
00:16:13,015 --> 00:16:14,538
It supposedly walked out
of the evidence room

363
00:16:14,712 --> 00:16:15,975
all by itself.

364
00:16:16,236 --> 00:16:18,107
I don't even know
the Chief's real name.

365
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:22,982
First rule of war:
be able to identify your enemy.

366
00:16:23,243 --> 00:16:25,027
[dramatic music]

367
00:16:29,292 --> 00:16:31,903
What if I told you
there's a picture of him?

368
00:16:34,167 --> 00:16:36,734
And I think Vonda Brooks has it.

369
00:16:42,479 --> 00:16:46,483
<i>So, I spent the next few months
combing every inch of her place.</i>

370
00:16:46,744 --> 00:16:49,704
<i>But there was one spot left
I couldn't access.</i>

371
00:16:49,878 --> 00:16:52,141
<i>And then came the requests.</i>

372
00:16:52,402 --> 00:16:54,709
ORA: Diarra, I heard on the news

373
00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:56,450
that you the one
who found Deonte.

374
00:16:56,711 --> 00:16:58,147
DIARRA: Okay.

375
00:16:58,408 --> 00:16:59,888
My checkout lady at Kroger's

376
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:03,326
think you went through
way more than you sayin'.

377
00:17:03,587 --> 00:17:06,590
Well, if the checkout lady
at Kroger's is saying it,

378
00:17:06,764 --> 00:17:08,418
it must be true.

379
00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:12,074
<i>Ora was Vonda's drinking buddy
and Spades partner.</i>

380
00:17:13,075 --> 00:17:18,385
I hear tracking down missing
lovers is kinda your hobby.

381
00:17:18,646 --> 00:17:20,474
That was sort of
a one-off kind of thing.

382
00:17:20,735 --> 00:17:23,781
- Okay? I am one and done.
- I'd pay you.

383
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:25,827
My man ran off.

384
00:17:26,088 --> 00:17:27,829
Now, I don't wanna kill him.

385
00:17:28,090 --> 00:17:32,355
I just wanna shoot him
in the head or his dick.

386
00:17:33,226 --> 00:17:36,925
My nephew said he'll do it
if you can find him. Please!

387
00:17:37,099 --> 00:17:40,276
Ma'am, I'm not about
to track down some dude

388
00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:42,583
so your nephew can shoot him
in the dick.

389
00:17:42,844 --> 00:17:44,019
I don't do that.

390
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,109
Do you do pets or just people?

391
00:17:47,283 --> 00:17:48,632
[Diarra sighs]

392
00:17:48,893 --> 00:17:50,112
Hello?

393
00:17:50,286 --> 00:17:51,940
And my nephew stole my armoire.

394
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:55,726
A beautiful antique, been in
our family for 100 years.

395
00:17:55,987 --> 00:17:58,686
I'll knock something off
the rent if you find it.

396
00:17:59,469 --> 00:18:01,558
RAHSAN: Yo, can you stop
the music for a minute?

397
00:18:01,819 --> 00:18:05,649
Excuse me, everybody. I'd like
to recite something for Deonte.

398
00:18:08,826 --> 00:18:10,045
[Rahsan clears throat]

399
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:13,962
I don't know you at all,
but welcome home.

400
00:18:15,529 --> 00:18:18,488
Do you know you at all?

401
00:18:18,662 --> 00:18:19,881
But welcome home.

402
00:18:20,273 --> 00:18:23,406
Back like you never left,
but you did leave.

403
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:27,628
Snatched like edges, disconnected.

404
00:18:27,802 --> 00:18:30,283
Like slaves
stolen from villages,

405
00:18:30,457 --> 00:18:32,676
you were stolen from the mall.

406
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:35,244
Why niggas always
gotta go to slavery, dawg?

407
00:18:35,505 --> 00:18:39,683
- No correlation.
- Shackled into a new identity.

408
00:18:39,857 --> 00:18:42,338
Screwed over and under

409
00:18:42,512 --> 00:18:45,863
and over and over
and over by fate!

410
00:18:46,037 --> 00:18:48,997
Oh, Lord.
Vonda, did they touch him? V!

411
00:18:49,258 --> 00:18:50,564
They had to touch him, for sure.

412
00:18:50,781 --> 00:18:52,261
He wasn't touched, everybody.
He is just fine.

413
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:54,089
Why would you kidnap a nigga
and not touch him?

414
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:56,439
- Can you be quiet, please? Hey!
- Would you kidnap a nigga and--

415
00:18:56,613 --> 00:18:58,615
Pain and horror everywhere,

416
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:01,531
everywhere, everywhere!

417
00:19:01,705 --> 00:19:04,360
Nigga! Wrap it up, please.

418
00:19:04,534 --> 00:19:05,927
[all laughing]

419
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:09,017
You are family and foreigner.

420
00:19:09,191 --> 00:19:11,411
You changed hands
like a streetwalker.

421
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,804
- Oh! A streetwalker?
- Called that nigga a hoe!

422
00:19:14,065 --> 00:19:16,459
- [Mac laughs]
- Your old mother, a deceiver.

423
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,245
Your actual mother, a stranger.

424
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,728
- MALAIKA: I told you she did it.
- Oh, hot damn! Ancestors!

425
00:19:24,902 --> 00:19:27,470
Bless his therapist...

426
00:19:27,731 --> 00:19:31,344
- and welcome home.
- MAC: Nigga, what?

427
00:19:31,605 --> 00:19:33,259
- Come on, man. Come on. Boo!
- Look at me.

428
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,957
- Bravo! Bravo!
- [Mac booing]

429

If I knew they was making poems
about kidnapped niggas, I--

430
00:19:38,089 --> 00:19:40,004
- RAHSAN: Shut up, Mac.
- Get your lame ass out of here.

431
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:41,571
They'd have kidnapped me
a long time ago.

432
00:19:41,745 --> 00:19:43,921
Mac, stop or I'll put
your ass in the headlock.

433
00:19:44,095 --> 00:19:45,488
No, that's cool.

- That's right.

[quietly] I am about sick
of this motherfucker.

I'm about to beat his ass.

440
00:19:56,891 --> 00:19:58,458
You know how many street fights
I got into growing up?

441
00:19:58,632 --> 00:19:59,807
Just for fun?

442

Baby, yikes, okay?

00:20:03,071 --> 00:20:04,115
I need you to breathe.

All right, I gotta take a piss.

445

Your face so long,

Okay, so you have a family now.

You don't have a case!

498
00:22:35,571 --> 00:22:37,530
You promised me
a lead on the Chief.

499

If Vonda doesn't lead us to him,
we're done.

When she leads us to him, you're

Not likely.

You ain't invited.

HOLSTEIN: Just remember,
you got no backup.

really are working together...
