And that--and that worked?

Yeah, I guess so. I'm out.

Okay, wait a minute.

Don't say nothing else.

So what we gonna do, baby?

That's gonna happen. - We're not doing that.

Don't stand next to him 'cause he gonna get shot.

He not a robot! No, he's not a robot.

Cora, nobody...

♪

Yo, I can't believe this. I've had it with them.

I swear, Mom and Dad are crazy.

Well, all y'all are crazy, in my opinion.

I'm not crazy.

Well...

So I'm crazy because I want my privacy to be protected?

You know, can you believe they went through my phone?

Yes, I can.

And look, I'm glad they did it to you and not me.

Thanks a lot.

Dang, I gotta delete a lot of "--".

No, you shouldn't have to.

I mean, I know they're our parents,

but we have the right to privacy.

You know Momma don't play that.

You know what?

She is always crying about us not respecting her.

But she needs to respect us too.

I mean, I am so sick of the both of them.

Look, now that we know they're spying on us,

I suggest you get a burner. I know I am.

It's one thing to be in my business all the time.

But then to invite Lindor after I told them not to?

I can't believe that.

Hey, look, that's your fault.

I don't know why you brought him here in the first place.

Well, I just thought maybe if they met him,

they would see how cool he is and then stop tripping about us

spending time together.

Note to self: bring none of my ladies around any of them.

Don't bring anyone around here.

I mean, not that you even have anyone to bring.

But Mom and Dad can't handle that.

I mean, they are such dorks.

First off, you do not know my lady situation.

Whatever.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know. I mean, what can I do?

Mom's always saying, "My house, my rules."

So... I guess I'll just have to wait 'til next year,

when I turn 18, and then get out of here as fast as I can.

And where are you gonna go?

As far away from here as possible.

But then they'll just spy on you and find you,

like--like Liam Neeson.

They don't even know how to work the computer.

They were able to find out who you've been texting.

True.

I mean, I'm so mad that they did that.

I will never forgive them.

Cora, we need to go, 'cause I don't wanna be

a part of no drive-by shooting.

He's not gonna kill nobody

No, no, you can say what you want to. I know that man.

He is bad news. He got something up his sleeve.

- That's not true. - That is the absolute truth.

You won't be saying that when he come in and kill everybody.

- Cora? - What is it?

- We need to go. - Where we going?

We're going home, 'cause I don't wanna die like this.

Oh, that's the sheriff. He wouldn't do that.

No, no, he would do it.

He did it to the last man who hit him.

- What happened? - We don't know.

We ain't find the body yet.

- Well, I believe it. - Why do you say that?

- I just do. - You know what?

I think y'all should just go back to Chicago.

Don't you think you're being a little extreme?

No, I'm not being extreme.

Take your two kids that don't nobody like.

Go on back to Chicago and we'll, um,

send you some money every week.

Yeah, whatever. I know that's a lie.

You ain't sendin' nothin' nowhere.

Now, that part is true.

But the Chicago part, we want that.

Look, listen. Everybody please just calm down.

Everything's gonna be fine, okay?

That's right.

All right, now, let's have dinner, please?

- Cora, you ready to go? - Okay. Yeah.

Let me put my shoes on.

Okay, well, I'mma start dinner.

Oh, shoot, speaking of death, I know she can't cook.

Her cooking will kill people.

We're going to have words if you don't go get in that car.

Get the stuff and be out there.

What stuff you gonna get?

You better run before they start shooting.

- I'm putting my shoes on. - Cora, they comin'!

See, you got scared.

Would you stop? Go on, get.

I'm gone, Cora, I'm gone.

Okay, we'll see y'all tomorrow, okay?

- Okay. -All right.

You know what? I'm so excited.

Even with all this going on.

Yes, but I'll be glad when we can get all of this behind us

and we can get it done. - That's right.

Well, I'll see y'all tomorrow. Y'all have a good night.

- Bye. - See you later, Vinny.

Bye, Jeremy. - Bye, Cora.

Honey.

We have another problem.

What's that?

Your daughter found out that we read her text messages.

- Aw, damn. - I know.

- How did she find out? - I don't know.

I'll tell ya how she found out.

'Cause Mr. Genius Criminal right here who like to hit the sheriff

left the computer on.

Oh no.

Remind me to never rob a bank with you two.

- Don't worry. - You know what?

Y'all two like to do all the wrong damn things.

Are you done?

No, I'm just taking some time and looking at

Mr. Criminal over here.

Grandpa, Grandpa, please, can you--can you--can you just go

and get washed up for dinner?

I don't have to get washed up. It is Thursday, thank you.

Okay. But then you don't need to eat dinner.

Well, fine.

Miss Cora left with the good cooking anyway.

Baby, baby, I love your cooking.

Don't even--don't even--

don't even trip, okay? It's okay, all right?

I'm sorry I left the computer open.

You know what?

It's--it's my fault.

No, all of this started because we wanted to invade

her privacy and we should not have done that.

Yeah, I know.

You told me.

You know what? It don't even matter, okay?

I'm just happy that we know what's going on now.

Me too.

So, you ready?

Huh!

I guess there's no time like the present, you know?

Okay, all right, what do we got?

All right. Okay.

One, two, three-- that's your ass.

Oh, Jeremy!

Come on, let's go.

You go first.

Get in front of me.

Hey.

- Oh, no. - What?

You want me to leave.

Yeah, we need to talk to your sister.

Well, she's mad right now.

Yeah, I know that.

And you still want me to leave?

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, maybe one day I'll have a place in this family.

Son, you have a place in this family.

Well, every time you have to talk to her, I don't.

Well, guess what?

We appreciate you so much for giving us our space.

Thank you. - Do I have a choice?

Mm, nah.

Get out of here.

Little buddy.

Yeah. And you know what?

Stop bringing applesauce in your room.

We're gonna get roaches.

We already have them!

Must have came in from Brown.

Sandra?

Mom?

Look, we need to talk to you.

You know, I can't believe you went through my phone.

I have no privacy.

You're right.

Mom, why did you do that?

- Well, we-- - We just wanted to--

Be nosy?

No, we wanna protect you.

Well, that's not fair.

Okay, well, I'll tell you what's not fair.

When I was a kid, my grandfather took the doors off my room.

Mm.

Okay, well, that was, like, in the 1800s.

I mean, this is modern times.

Wow.

You know what? I don't like this.

You guys need to delete the spy apps.

Okay, all right, we can do that.

Thank you.

But, we wanna talk about what we read.

Hm.

Um... how much did you read?

Uh, I didn't read nothin'. It was your momma.

- Well, thank you. - Well, it was you--

Okay, but what did you read?

We saw where Lindor's dad threatened you.

Yeah, why didn't you tell us?

Well, you read it. I mean, you know what he said.

He told me not to talk to him.

Well, I talked to his daddy.

- You did? -Yeah.

And... how did that go?

It--it was fine.

Well, I don't believe that.

- Why? - Because he's so mean.

Well, hold up. What else did he say?

Well, I just watched the way that he treats Lindor.

Baby, we can help him.

No, that man is evil.

Honey, trust me, we can help him.

Just tell me what else you saw.

Well, I make him food.

I mean, he doesn't feed him, and...

And what?

Well... he's abusive.

Wow. You were right.

So...

Honey, you should've told us.

Well, he doesn't want you to know.

Baby, listen, you don't want him to get help?

No, Mom, you guys can't help him.

Why? What do you-- what do you mean?

He's the sheriff.

Okay, well, you let us handle that.

♪

♪

Well, what are you gonna do?

We're gonna call and get him some help.

He's gonna be so mad.

Listen, baby, this is for his own good.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Listen, right now I need you to trust us, okay?

Like you guys trusted me?

Mmm.

Oh, okay. We'll delete the app.

I already did.

You?

Yeah, I deleted it off the computer.

Okay. That's fair.

That's fair. Whatever.
