Switch.

But for real though, twin.

We need to go.

I got stuff to do.

I gotta meet up with Ellis. Ellis who?

We spoke to meet up. Here we go again about that man she met online.

What you gotta meet up with him for? We need to talk about the future.

Ain't you told me he don't like for you to look at him while y'all doing?

I let him get it from behind.

If I look at him, I might start catching feelings. I ain't trying to catch

feelings.

Twins. I ain't got men falling all over me like you, see?

Some of us gotta make do.

If we don't go now, we might not get another chance.

Where racing go, now you're always gonna follow.

Ain't no choice but to go meet her motherfucking destiny.

Seem wondering if you look like her mama, if maybe they got the same smile

or laugh or something.

You look good Thanks Don't you not like it?

You ready?

To see God.

God?

She made us, didn't she?

You gonna get strung down?

Good morning.

They good.

Those are my girls.

Don't mind the smoke.

It's for the pain.

Glad y'all could make it.

Had the nurse put that sign on the door.

We really like that sign.

I'm ugly, but I don't bite.

Come closer so I can feel y'all.

How you been, Mama?

You know, done.

Yeah, yeah.

After that, we work in an office.

I ain't got a boyfriend.

She got something else, too.

Ma'am?

Nothing.

Just quiet.

Hi, Mama.

I ain't wrote you nothing because you'd be getting all emotional.

Been that way since you was a little girl.

I ain't want to upset you.

I wanted y'all to think I was dead.

Who wanted Mama?

Brought you up to where she'd look like an alligator.

Huh?

What happened?

You

accept

a regular day?

I was just getting y'all food ready in the kitchen.

I'm praying now.

I'm praying. Please, please be a branch against the window.

Even though I know ain't no trees near our windows.

Maybe it's the neighbor's dog.

Wasn't nothing in there but a bone-tired woman.

He's just standing there, face as plain as a slice of wheat bread, talking

about, hey, like he ain't just breaking into my bathroom, like it wasn't no

restraining order.

Wasn't much to say.

I could have reminded him that he wasn't supposed to be within a hundred yards of

the house where I was just fixing dinner.

Or... I could let him touch me.

He do got a tender side.

You gotta understand.

Men like your daddy always got a tender side.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

He tell y'all it's a game.

Let's wake Mommy up.

The scars you got was when you tried to get the fire off of me.

Naya, you got burnt up worse because you was trying hard at the thing. I'm so

sorry.

She's going to be all right.

She just, you know.

You've always been my big girl racing.

Came out first screaming bloody murder.

Born that way.

Something I need to ask y'all to do, but I don't know if y'all up to it.

We up to it.

We can do anything.

We strong.

Are we strong now, yeah? Yeah.

I'm going to keep this real simple for you.

Make your daddy dead.

Dead.

Dead.

And everything around him, you can destroy it too.

I think he took up with something.

It was spirit, then the body.

Like it did me.

Making dead.

Real dead.

See, now,

see, it's kind of, mama,

we respect that you're dying and all,

but this seems a little

crazy. Crazy than setting your wife on fire in front of her kids, then

abandoning them, changing your name.

And start another life like nothing ever happened.

Okay, you got a point.

But, uh... You sure you don't want to just... Forgive

and forget?

Pull this blanket off of me.

No peace.

Until I know he's gone.

Can y'all do that for your mother?

There's one last thing before I die.

Just tell us where to find him.

scene's starting to think Aniyah gonna keep up this little weak ass silent

treatment for the rest of her life she's starting to think Aniyah like being

perceived as a weak ass bitch

ain't no other explanation for this kind of behavior when we got shit

to do

Meanwhile, Nya wondering why Racine ain't smart enough to see she being

used.

She's starting to think Racine can tend to be a dumbass, reactive-ass bitch who

ain't got no sense.

If I'm dumb, you dumb.

And if I'm weak, you weak! Because we come from the same cell, bitch!

Oh, there she goes!

Getting all emotional!

She ain't come see us, see?

She ain't come see us!

And now this. You know good and well you would have shit yourself if she'd have

come see us when we was kids looking like that. Talking about I'm your long

lost mama.

She stayed away because she knew it was best for us.

I don't know, Sam.

I don't know.

We ain't got time for this, Naya.

We ain't killers.

I am.

Who you done killed? Don't worry about all that. Think about it this way, Naya.

He the one responsible for everything bad that's happened to us.

All those foster homes.

Every time someone called us ugly, the stairs, every fight.

Imagine what our lives would look like.

What we would look like if he hadn't done it.

So gorgeous.

How are we going to live with ourselves if we do this?

Better. Shit, this is the purpose.

This is destiny type shit.

This is ours, Naya.

I can feel it.

I ain't one for no killing.

You ain't gotta be.

I'll do it myself, but I need you to at least keep me company till I get there.

I mean, yeah.

She made us, so.

She is kind of like God.

Like you said.

Yup.

Yup. And we ain't finna leave God hanging, right?

You ready?

We gonna do this.

We gonna do it right.

Starting with.

The lady he took up with after he burnt us up.

Lady by the name of Divine.

He stay on Perry Street in an ugly-ass house with purple steps.

Can't miss it.

Oh, this don't feel right. She ain't stay with the church.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Oh, Lord, help me with this.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Oh, the spirit of wickedness is leaving this boy as I speak these

words. Ha!

The devil... knows that the holy waters of the Lord are coming and it is a raid.

Oh, can you feel the rhythm of that fear pulsating in this room? It's

the devil.

Hey, hey, in this room.

Oh, that motherfucker got me.

Oh, hell nah.

Seems we have some guests.

Hello.

Y'all make them feel welcome.

You ought to let Mother Divine baptize you.

She'll take you knocking things right off. Mm-hmm.

Knock them right off, like she knocked off George's sleep apnea.

And he ain't got to lay on the porch no more.

Mm-hmm.

You're his girls.

Yes, ma'am. Genetically, anyway, we don't know him.

Ezekiel, these your habits.

They look like they're in the world.

Oh, don't be judgmental, son.

His girls are my place.

Your mama told you that I was with him during the trial?

Yes, ma'am.

Let's find his trains. I take up with a man being accused of such things.

Wow. That's your business.

We just want to know if you could tell us where he at.

Let me tell you, girls, he was so broken.

It was all he could do to get up in the morning.

Came to me a mule and calf.

But he was a bull after I was through.

Nursing him.

Nursing.

And then he said he had to go. But before he left, he kissed the palm of my

hand and promised he'd be back for us and we'd be married.

So, do you know where he went?

Oh, I don't know.

Where do all the good men go?

We don't know, ma'am.

If you find him, tell him that

Divine kept her promise. That's right, Mama. That she's still in a white dress,

beating at the devil, ever faithful to her man.

Ever faithful. Yes, Lord.

Tell him about the church.

Tell him Divine says it's his when he returns.

That's right.

That's my day.

How long ago he leave you?

I was pregnant with Ezekiel.

What?

You've been sitting up waiting on a man who left you pregnant?

A man who just got through setting his wife and kids on fire?

A man who ain't tell you where he was going?

That's the man you waiting on?

The Bible says... I can see that you're septic.

With anger and the spirit of devilment. And I can see that he laid that

dig right.

Because that's the only reason that I be sitting up waiting on a man.

And I ain't wondering why Racine can't keep her mouth shut sometimes. Just

sometimes when it's a lot of states. Look at them. That's a damn cult.

How we gonna find out where he at now?

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

Ha!

What's that?

Looks like an address book to me.

He, uh, grabbed him while a girl was running her mouth.

What the fuck?

That's his lawyer again.

How we gonna kill him, twin?

We ain't doing it.

Remember you doing it. You know what I mean.

How should it go down?

A gun.

A gun?

Where you gonna get a gun?

Steal one or something.

That ain't no good, Pam.

You should just do it quiet.

Poison or something.

Poison is a punk-ass, bitch-ass way to kill somebody.

At least he'd be dead.

There won't be a lot of blood.

I don't like blood.

I know.

We'll push him off a building.

What if he grabbed one of us on the way down?

What if we knock him out, then push him off the building? How hard do you have

to hit someone to knock him out?

I don't like it.

You don't like none of it? See, we ain't killers.

We come from a man who tried to kill our mama and a mama who wants to kill that

man.

It's in the blood.

Now let's go find that lawyer.

Chuck Hall does it all, y'all.

Slip and fall.

Bloody brawl.

You in trouble? Chuck Hall's got your back.

Moldy wall.

Dog maul. He'll do it all, I'm telling y'all.

Chuck Hall.

The game that can beat up?

What you gonna do with that? Take your sock off.

Twin.

Is that... You know I'm trying to... We don't know what we walking into.

Is that going to be all for you today, love?

You want me to elbow you or nothing?

All right.

See you Thursday.

Chuck Wendell Hall is a man with no tongue in his head.

In the years since the terrible incident which has taken his tongue, he's

developed a strict regimen.

including enlisting the services of a woman skilled at inflicting pain.

For he knows that someday someone will come.

And when that someone comes, he intends to be ready.

We'll see.

We just want to know if you could tell us where he at.

Do you know where he went?

That ain't for you to decide.

Right now, you're the only one standing between us.

Get yourself into a trade school or a community college.

Maybe pick up with a sporting young man, ambitious if not handsome.

And live out your lives with as little misery as can be managed giving your

plight.

That's it.

This fool gonna tell us something if I gotta beat it out of him.

The moment has arrived.

Well, you ain't afraid, huh? He offers himself to the stranger. I don't like

this, twin.

As if a lamb to the slaughter.

We could just go.

If he was not, we'd shut up.

to tell of the unfortunate incident that has taken his tongue and his will to

practice criminal law.

He had to tell of having taken him home after celebrating the verdict.

How he'd smiled quite a lot.

Such bright white teeth.

How he'd offered to get him permission to see his twin girls one last time.

How the man had thought it over.

No, he'd said, Probably not a good idea.

I might have the impulse to finish the job.

Such bright, white teeth.

How he tried smiling back, but a man like that.

For fear that it would wag, he took my tongue.

Dang, just ripped it out your mouth.

He will be back for the rest of me.

I've been preparing to die well.

You ain't got to.

Scene gonna kill him if you tell us where he at.

All cannot tell whether this is his most noble or cowardly act.

It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes.

Sit in the dark and ponder how one fit to make the bottom fall to the floor.

And they all fall down.

It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes.

Out of the shadows, barraged with tongue, culprits spit over a box of

everything.

What the fuck is you doing?

What's wrong with you? I don't like how you been acting.

Oh, uh-uh, pull over.

What?

I said pull this shit over!

You been looking at me funny like I'm the monster and I'm sick of it.

You got something you want to say? You enjoying this shit too much?

You better go kill somebody, twin.

Ain't we been killed, Nya?

We've been stepped on again and again, and he did that.

And I ain't finna feel sad about giving him what's coming to him.

Mm-mm.

You always want to go right up to the edge.

I feel like it's Naya's job to catch her before she fall in.

I'm so mad, twin.

I hate you.

I don't want to tell somebody they ugly.

I want to step on something for once.

See what it feel like.

Must feel good if everybody else keep doing it.

Remember how second foster daddy used to snap the belt at us?

No one know us, that was you.

Because you laugh every time he came down the stairs, so you'd always get a

whooping.

You the first person I killed. You ain't kill him.

He had a heart attack. He had it because he kept whooping me. He kept whooping me

because I kept doing stuff to make him whoop me because I knew it would kill

this poor chub sandwich every motherfucking morning now.

I got it.

Thank you.

What the hell?

Boy, what's wrong with you?

So y'all think y'all just gonna kill him?

What? Just chop him down?

That's what y'all think?

My daddy!

Mine! The man who made me!

He who made Ezekiel!

That's what y'all think y'all gonna kill?

scrape your scars off and see what's underneath.

What's the point of that?

I don't know.

I be wondering what I look like.

It don't do me no good to wonder.

What we gonna do about the mother twin?

God said.

Destroy everything around him. And she said we could.

She said we could destroy everything around him. Well, if they ain't think

like that, fool, they ain't gonna give us no choice. They innocent, twin.

They can't help being his kids.

Ain't nobody innocent.

They probably sit up at dinner and laugh about us and God.

Stop that. They ain't done nothing to us.

This kind of feels too good to be true, don't it?

Those twin boys in that beautiful house have lived lives of comfort and strife.

Each deals with the confusions of life in his own way.

Scott masks his vulnerabilities with wildness.

Whereas Riley has learned to keep still and quiet.

Their mother, Angie.

is doing exactly what she's always done, wiping and dusting and polishing and

scrubbing every inch of their very nice house exactly the way he likes it.

His hats arranged by style, casual to dressy, his boots by material, his

leather to the left, gaiters to the right, his neckties arranged by color,

the slacks by brand and the shirts by fabric. He has made it very clear the

importance of honoring everything in its rightful place.

A man in his place.

In hers.

Pretty.

That's what I think is wrong.

God gonna get her blood, I guess.

Any other day, Angie would hoist her own suitcases into the trunk.

What happened?

What, is Dad back? Are you good? No.

I just need you to help me get my bags to the car.

Please.

Okay. Why are you being all hysterical? Wait.

Why do you need all these bags?

It's a wine trip, baby. I told you. It's for the weekend.

What are we supposed to do for dinner?

Angie's plan is to get herself to Yucca Valley by nightfall.

From there, a train to Vegas where she'll gamble no less than $300 of the

$11,000 she's managed to scrimp and save without his notice. After hiding out a

bit, she'll make her way to Connecticut where a new name and job are waiting for

her.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Now go inside.

Go on inside.

Like rain falling on a window pane.

You came to my eyes when I asked her name.

Make me holler when it finally came.

That only the children born out of me will remain.

What in the world?

What does bitch think she's showing?

She gonna say something?

She gotta come to us.

Do you mind moving, please?

Excuse me.

I'm running a bit late.

Is everything okay?

We fine.

You know us?

Know you. Uh, am I supposed to?

We're his first ones.

Who? His first kids.

You're a liar.

We look dead or something?

He said you got burnt up in some accident and he didn't have to pay child

support.

Are you here for child support?

It's real Japanese Akoya.

Don't nobody want your pearls.

Well, it's what I have to offer.

You know what our mama's been doing?

While you've been laying up in that big old house that looked like a castle? Our

mama been in a bed, wasting away.

He burnt up most of her body.

I am so sorry.

That is unfortunate.

But I hope you understand me when I say that he lied to me. You knew he was

lying. Oh, no, no, no, no. I didn't.

Naya?

Who does Heffa think she's fooling? Can't even lie straight. Oh, no, Zane.

She could be telling the truth.

You were sitting up in that nice house with a pool while third foster

daddy was licking his lips any time I came into the room with my shoulders

showing. I have to get away.

This a nice car, ain't it, twin?

Not my car. No. I need the car. Give me them keys. No. Give me them keys, bitch.

Get it.

gonna come and steal from me because of something he did? You pack of animals!

We ain't animals. We on a mission.

From God.

God.

God is our mama.

That's right.

Your mama.

I'm not gonna let you mess this up for me.

I planned it. I deserved it, okay?

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

If he comes home, And I tell him that somebody took the car. Do you know what

he'll do to me?

Our mama ain't never had a shot like the one you got.

It is not my fault that your weak ass ghetto trash mama got burnt. She should

have left. She should have left. What you say?

Girl. Excuse me.

Yes. I just, I just, wait a minute. You spitting, bitch? You spitting? You

spitting, twin?

Yeah. Yo, he just, on me.

This bitch.

This bitch spitting.

You know what? A woman. that knows her worth will leave.

And if you were smart enough... We smart, bitch. Say we smart.

Say we smart.

You better be lucky, my sister, here.

Bougie bitch.

You want me to stay?

I don't think so.

You ain't do anything, so you cool.

It's all on me.

You want them pearls?

I don't want nothing but blood.

I know you.

No. Kinda.

Who's this?

I'm Racine.

Anaya.

Twins.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. I think Dad did this.

He definitely did.

Come on in, girl.

What are you doing? You can't just let random people in.

Did you see them?

Twins.

Stripper. Twins.

Dad promised the strippers, didn't he?

It's our birthday.

You always surprise us for our birthday. Our birthday isn't for another two

weeks, so it's a little early.

This has everything all over it.

Something feels off.

They don't even look like... I mean... Shut up.

Go on, girl.

Third door to the left.

Yeah, I'm gonna call Michael and Sean.

Make this shit a party. This doesn't feel like something to have a dude. Let

me just call him. Let me just call him?

Oh, my God. Do you just wake up in the morning and brainstorm ways to be the

corniest motherfucker ever?

Damn, what are you doing?

Let me have this.

Shit, let yourself have it.

When was the last time we had fun in his house, Riley?

Oh, staying here.

Not our business.

Oh, you mad because of that lady?

That lady who spit on me?

We ain't got to go through with this. If we don't do this, who's going to do it,

Naya?

Who's going to stand up for her?

We ain't nothing.

But the hand of God doing her bidding.

You know how Dad is with the fishing trips.

He probably won't even be back until the morning.

Come on.

Come on.

Besides, everybody know talking shit about God will get you killed. But you

gotta promise me it ain't no more blood but his.

You gotta swear to God.

Fine.

I promise.

I swear to God.

I swear for God.

And I put that on everything.

If you go back on this, I'm gonna walk away, twin.

You on your own.

Let's just get ready.

Hey!

Where the strip is at?

Why you titties looking so big, twin?

Bitch.

Old dude?

Yeah.

It's Alice.

I don't know what I'ma do.

A baby.

You remember

that time we got kicked out of Forrest Foster mom and daddy place?

Cause I bust that boy nose.

At school?

Yup.

I don't think I ever thanked you for that.

You know I got you.

Came from the block, I rose from the mud. Live by the gun, I die by the gun.

Took a real tight, can't do the fake love. When you raped by the wolves, only

eat what you hunt. I'm a real hothead, but my heart real numb. Walk a bitch

down in my lube with compound.

Nigga think shit's sweet, cause it sounds like a piece. She fuck like a

freak, make a man love dumb.

Bitches and they feelings every day.

Bitches never say it to my face. Shoot it out and we can catch a face. Scary

hoes afraid to catch a case. One inside, chrome to your brain. Bitch, you a mock,

you a stain. Blood diamonds all in my chain. Pray I never catch you, I scheme.

Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's try this a little different.

You, pretty girl, you pay stuff, you keep doing what you're doing.

And you, you got to turn around.

Don't be mad.

Hey, come back, girl. You got to get a money's worth.

Alright then, gorgeous.

Guess you dancing for two.

Must have stained ugly.

Yeah, yeah, all guys' children are beautiful or whatever.

When I come, click, click, click, click.

Why you ain't out there with them?

It's not my thing.

You know what happened to your face?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to insult you. I'm sorry.

I'll leave you alone.

Your brother seems...

He seemed like he fit in.

Yeah.

It's always been that way.

You know, he's... out there.

And I'm well.

I'm the type to be hiding out in the kitchen.

You ever get to feeling like... like...

he's happy you're strange?

Because, I mean, he get to be the normal one.

It gave him permission to be who he wants to be.

And you go along with it because you'd rather help him do stuff you don't

believe in than be alone.

I never thought about it.

I mean, I guess so.

Someone set a fire in it.

Crawled up my face and left me like this.

Damn.

I keep asking myself how he could have done it.

You know who did it?

What was that?

Scotch?

Scotch?

Oh my god, oh my god.

Oh my God.

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

He called you ugly.

Scotch. I didn't plan to, but he called you ugly.

Scotch.

If we don't do the other one, he's going to tell. What? No!

You ain't got to watch. Just go in the kitchen.

Scotch. Do it. He'll talk.

He might even blame you for it, even though you didn't do anything.

No, you promised.

You promised.

You in my way. You keep doing it.

You said we were going to do him and not them, but you keep doing it. I'm doing

what's best for us.

You or I.

Get the fuck out of my way.

That's what you want?

Let's go there.

I am found.

She want to tell him everything.

Things she couldn't even tell Racine.

Thank you.

What'd I tell you, huh? You want to save this

motherfucker? I told you.

Crazy fucking bitch.

You want to come to my house and kill my brother?

I don't care what he did.

Fucking die. Fucking die.

Die.

Thank you God.

Seems like we got a lot to talk about.

Why don't you sit with me?

Or you could just stay under there and wander.

Well, you ain't a complete monster.

That's something.

How about we take turns asking each other questions?

It's one at a time.

I don't know.

Yeah, you do.

Why did you let her on fire?

Because she wouldn't let me hold her.

Wait, that don't make sense.

Who did you kill first?

I didn't kill nobody.

Not really in self-defense because seeing what's on.

Who was?

Your wife.

Angie?

Wow.

My turn.

What does that mean? You were mad because she wouldn't let you touch her?

Oh, you set her on fire.

There's more nuance than that.

I don't try to. It's a bit of an overreaction.

My time.

What'd you use?

Oh, Angie and the rest.

You overreacted a little bit.

It was a perfectly appropriate response for a young man out of control.

Do you ever have a blemish that you want to get rid of?

You squeeze it until it falls off, but it's still the pus underneath.

So you go after the pus with peroxide or whatever you can find, something that'll

sting a little so you know it's working.

Do you ever just need to put something out because it has been so catastrophic

to your very being?

We was just pus to you.

Something to get rid of.

I was young and I'm sorry.

Next thing I did was go to the bridge near our house ready to jump so I could

join y'all in death. But you didn't.

No.

And thankfully you all survived.

But you went to court.

And got off.

And God has burned to a crisp. And I'm so ugly nobody will look me in my eye.

I'm sorry about that.

But you got to factor in every piece of the puzzle.

She could have let me hold her.

She could have let me fully stand up in my house.

I needed that as a young man.

Ma, I got a baby coming.

You're not a killer.

Whoa.

What am I going to tell the baby about all this?

Tell it you made a few mistakes when you were young.

Like I did.

How am I going to tell it about how you tried to kill us all?

Kill us all?

I didn't try to kill you two.

Just her.

I never tried to kill you all.

It's just her.

You think I set my own babies on fire?

She did that.

She screamed and grabbed a hold of you two.

I couldn't get her to let go.

That's when I ran out.

You think I tried to kill my own babies?

Is that what she told you?

No, no, no. She said... I'm telling you she lied.

You got to gear this up.

Otherwise what?

You'll try to kill me and I'll have no choice but to kill you.

And in doing so, I'll be killing my first and perhaps only grandchild.

And I don't want to do that.

Do I bring back a piece of you?

And I... You don't have to do this.

You can put that down and go on your way.

And when the dust settles, you bring that baby back and I'll bounce it on my

knee and we'll never talk about all the blood on the ground.

How far along are you?

11 weeks, I think.

That older one, the smart one, he was going to be somebody.

Dog bitch.

If you weren't pregnant, I'd cut your eyes out and make you eat them.

You go back to that heathen corpse and tell it I'd do it all again if I could.

While you was in here, whistling and making new babies

and trying to forget all the bad things you did.

Before we fucked, the mama was laughing at my scars for her friends.

I warned you.

Somebody got to go today.

The world can't hold us both.

Suit yourself.

My bad for what I said before.

On three, Anaya gonna go.

Two.

Three.

Anaya.

Just Anaya.

All by herself for the first time.

Too quiet.

But out of the quiet, things get clear.

She sees all the good stuff that runs alongside the bad.

You can see another self in the distance.

A brave self who'll hold her head high and got things to do.

That other self gonna rock the baby when she comes.

Tell her all about anti-racine and the road and the good things in it.

Even for girls like us.

There's a light in my life shining over me.

Thank you.

Sins of the mother sustain

Bounce around like a valley

refrain How she should

Child of the water, one leaf will answer.
