[delilah] previously on
delilah...

What do they make anyway?
At osbourne?

Radios for the military.

Whoever makes this go away
makes partner.

You had an affair with leah?

I wouldn't call it an affair.

Were you romantically
involved with fred?

Girl, he is 55 and white.

It's really happening.
You versus tamara.

I know that you're upset
about what happened.

I can't do this right now.

So, I'll check back
in a month?

Sounds great.

Dion is your son. Doesn't that
do anything to you?

I'm not in a place where
I can take him back, d.

Your brother asked
if dion could stay with me
and frances.

But I am not going
to let that brother of mine,

leave yet another
indelible mark on
that little boy's soul.

Welcome to the office!

Gary shea was concerned about
a radio they manufactured.

If there is any evidence
of any wrong doing or
any irregularity in here,

we need to find it.

I have got something
to show you.

Uh, it's nate.

Take a look at that.
"equipment malfunction."

does he have a copy
of this report?

Seems like you gotta
talk to nate.

Going home this week, huh?

Uh, not for good, but yeah.

Just a little visit
to figure out how we're gonna
accommodate my new...

-...Lifestyle.
-I saw that on the schedule.

We're gonna deep clean
your room while you're gone.

-It'll be good as new.
-Thank you.

This is the first time
you've been home since you
got back stateside, is it?

It's going on five months.

Gonna be good
to see that house.

Yes, sir.

Discharge meeting
isn't until tomorrow.

I know when the meeting is.
We need to talk.

Hey, jack,
can you give us some space?

Oh, yeah.
I was done, anyhow. [chuckles]

miss connolly. Excuse me.

You got something to say?

I probably
shouldn't have told--

damn right
you shouldn't have.

You scared that son of yours
half out of his mind.

You know, I keep thinking that
christine is the bad news
in this story,

but maybe you two
found each other.

'cause I have never
met two people

more willing to bat a child
around like a wiffle ball
than you two.

Is this what you came here
to do? To browbeat me
like a hostile witness?

No. But the next time
you have a issue with me,
little brother,

be a man
and address it yourself.

Don't send your old
attack dog, 'cau he doesn't
mean anything to me.

I kicked him
and sent him home.

-Yeah. Pop said
you was pretty heated.
-I was.

I am.

I'm sorry.

Is that what you came to hear?

Hmm. That was barely
an apology.

[sighs] look,
it was a stupid idea.

I was mad. I'm sorry.

What do you want?

I need your help.

With what?

After your accident,
did they give you

a ground accident report
explaining what happened?

Yeah, but...

I actually contributed to it.
But not too much.
I don't think.

-How so?
-I don't remember
what happened, but...

One minute I was riding along,
next thing I know,
I woke up in the hospital bed.

But, yeah, the investigation
board sent one.

Well, do you happen
to have it here?

Uh, yeah.

I never opened it up,
but it's here.
Why do you need it?

-Here it is.
-Niagara falls.

Uh, yeah, that's...

You don't want to know.

-It's a christine thing?
-Yeah. Kinda.

-Is it okay if I open it?
-Uh, yeah.

I don't want to see it though.

I don't need to go there.

Just started sleeping
through the night, you know.

Where you going?

Going to get
some fresh coffee.

Getting bitch slapped by you
wasn't enough
to wake me up I guess.

"other."

"equipment malfunction."

why would they be different?

Hmm.

Son of a bitch.

[theme music playing]

here's the thing.
There are two
completely different

accounts of what happened
in these reports.

One has a detailed description
of an ambush,

the other just says
"equipment malfunction."

-and the same date?
-Yes.

And all signed
by the same man.

Staff sergeant
rick pattengale.

I'll see if I can find him.

[delilah] demetria,
can you see if the name is on
any other reports as well?

-[cell phone ringing]
-I'm already looking.

-Gonna take this.
-Mm-hm.

-Has it been a month already?
-[jamal] no.

But a buddy of mine gave me
his courtside seats tickets
to the hornets game tonight.

And casey said you're a fan.
So, you wanna go?

Oh, I wish I could say
yes to that.

But I can't tonight.
I'm so sorry.

Hey, no apologies necessary.

You said how busy
you are up front.

It was nice to hear
your voice anyway.

You know, I could...

Uh, can you give me
a couple of days?

I could find a babysitter.

We can do dinner,
Friday night.
How does that sound?

Hey, if that works
for you, yes.

Haymakers at 8:00. I'll buy.

8:15, I've got
muay thai till 07:45.

You don't want me
coming over unshowered.

Oh, you are doing pizza,
muay thai. You're a man
of many talents, huh?

I just try to
stay interesting.

Listen, far be it from me

to ask a modern woman
to be old-fashioned.

-But I am buying.
-Oh, I really didn't
want to buy.

I just figured I picked
the restaurant,
it's kinda expensive so...

Okay. All right,
we'll talk soon.

Hmm.

Yeah, osbourne can send it.

But let me know when fedex
confirms delivery.

-Sure. Will do.
-[sighs]

[cell phone ringing]

I was just thinking about you.

What time do you
get off today?

-I already did.
-[laughs]

I was actually asking
a question here.

-When are you gonna be home?
-Well, let me see,
mr. Serious, uh...

I should be able to get out
of here at 5:00.
What are you thinking?

Is that a real 5:00?

Yeah, 5:00. What's going on?

See you then.

Is this one of those
elaborate time-sensitive
gourmet dinners of yours?

-Because if it is...
-Good bye.

Good bye.

[scoffs]

so these were all signed
by the same guy,
rick pattengale.

And we have not yet found
sergent pattengale.

He was honorably discharged
from the military

and then he just disappeared
about a month ago.

-Put mace on that.
-Already did.

But we came up with these.

These are copies
of the reports sent to
six soldiers in this pile

that also don't quite
match up.

-And how did you get
a hold of these?
-I called 100 people

and 6 of them said
they'd send them right over.

Sergent pattengale
has been busy.

He's also been kinda lazy.

-How so?
-There's all these phrases

repeated in all the reports.
You can see.

-Like here.
-Here.

"we gave them what mres
we had and moved on."

um, "saw many palm civets."

-what are those?
-A kind of lemur
looking thing.

-They're cute.
-It's like he adds this stuff
in to make it seem more real.

But it's always
the exact same stuff.

See what I don't understand is
I can see why osbourne
would doctor reports

that incriminate them.

But why would someone
from the army do it?

In the meantime,
do you want me to serve
fred osbourne a depo notice?

No, but good job.

-I assume these are copies.
-Yes, ma'am.

When do you want me to serve
fred osbourne with
a depo notice?

After I show these to tamara.

I think once tamara sees
that nate is involved,

then she's gonna
do the right thing.

I at least have to give her
the chance to do
the right thing.

Is this how she lost the case
with jane doe
and the cops in the car?

Giving everybody a chance.

[music playing faintly]

-[knock on door]
-[music plays louder]

-[man] yeah.
-[woman] is that
another present?

-[man] you expecting someone?
-[woman laughing]

-hey.
-Hey.

-Come in.
-Uh, yeah.

[gasps] delilah.

I'm so glad you're here.

I was just thinking
"I hope she's over whatever

she was under last night,
because I need
my girl.

Sorry for interrupting.
I didn't--

resign yourself to
interrupting forever,
because we

are on an eternal date
as of two minutes ago.

-[shrieking] dreams come true.
-Oh!

-Congratulations, casey.
-Thank you.

D, will you be
my maid of honor?

-Of course!
-[shrieks]

[tamara] oh!

[tamara sighing wistfully]

he really didn't
tell you to come?

I'm here about
the case actually.

[tamara] of course you are.

[delilah] but it can wait,
until tomorrow, or you know,
whenever.

Have fun.

-Celebrate!
-[casey] I'll call jamal.

[casey] tell him
the good news.

It really can wait.

We both know that it can't,
so, what's up?

I think this case
involves nate.

Nate?

-Like, seriously?
-[delilah] I think so.

Okay, well...

-Well, walk me through it.
-It just very much looks
that way.

[casey] of course,
she said "yes".

God hasn't made the woman
who could say no to that ring.

Look, let's just
talk tomorrow,

-I'm gonna--
-no, no, no, nope. Wait.

So, you're saying that

nate being paralyzed
just so happens to be
the result of what

-crazy leah davis's case
is about?
-Yes.

What are the odds of that, d?
Seriously.

When the c-15 is the most
commonly used radio
in the army,

very high.

So, you're convinced that
there's some way these radios
are blowing things up.

Gary shea was.

And the accident reports that
the army sent to
osbourne and nate

are completely different.

The one that the army
sent osbourne

says "equipment malfunction."

the one they sent nate,

-whole different story.
-Huh.

And there are six different
reports in here

saying the same thing.

Just read it. Please.

I will. I promise.

Because if what
you say is true,

you already know.

[delilah] I already know what?

D.

There are partnerships.

-And there are partnerships.
-Hmm.

And if

osbourne is to blame
for what happened to nate,
I'll just...

I'll just tell win that
we gotta drop them. Done.

-Thank you.
-But

-we're not there yet.
-I understand.

[tamara laughs]

-and, congratulations!
-Aah!

-[both laugh softly]
-and to you too.

Because you're gonna have
a front row, all expense
paid trip

to the wedding of the century.

-Where's it gonna be?
-[tamara] oh, I don't know.
Some place fabulous.

Yeah, um...

I'll call you in the morning.
I'm...

-Not gonna get
to these tonight.
-I didn't think you would.

-Bye.
-Buh-bye.

[tamara sighs wistfully]

oh!

-Hello.
-She couldn't stay?

No. You know the kids.

Yeah.

Okay.

What's happening right now?
Uh-uh. Nope.
[laughs]

what?

This body's got a lot of
living to do before you start
wrecking it with babies.

-Is that right?
-That is so right.

Wait. Oh, my god.

[laughing] you are so bad.

[tamara laughing]

what do they do at that school
you go to? It's like they

dip you in mud with one of
those big claws that

they grab toys with
at the arcade.

Do I have to go
to dad's tomorrow?

Why would you not?

I have class with miss b.

-Can't dad take you?
-He can.

I don't like practicing
at his place.
His neighbors complain.

Well, if it's okay with him,

but ask.

What're you thinking about?

You are divorced?

That's correct.

-Is mommy and daddy divorced?
-No!

Why would you say that?

They live in different places.

Well, they are not divorced.

Kye said

everybody gets divorced.

Well is kye the one that
got you in all this mud?

Don't listen to kye.

Kye does not know
what he's talking about.

Okay?

You're done.

[slow music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[tamara] so, I read
the report, d.

[delilah] and you see
what I mean?

First of all,
I just wanna cry.

Whatever they did to nate...

And second, I can see that
these versions don't agree.

So are you gonna talk to win?

Well, first I'm gonna go to
osbourne today

and ask fred point blank
about the these damn radios.

But you read the reports?

Before I tell win lockley jr.

To tell win lockley sr.

To walk away from a client
this big, I need to see for
myself that these radios

even do what you think
that they can do.

I hear what you're saying.

Just do me favor, wait on
that depo notice
until I talk to fred?

If he feels threatened,
he's not going to talk.
Not even to me.

-Okay. But then
it's going out.
-Understood.

Hey, uh, tell nate
that I said hi.

How do you know where I am?

Find my friends.

[tamara laughs]

what're you doing there
anyway, talking about
the case?

No. We have what's called
a safe planning
discharge meeting.

We've gotta meet with this
case worker to talk about
how we'll eventually

bring nate back home.

-I am not optimistic.
-Christine?

Tell nate that I pray for him
every night,

and, uh, I'll give you a call
after I talk to fred, okay?

-Bye.
-All right.

[man] how else are you going
to pay for it?

Well, there are low interest
loans vets can apply for.

-And ada grants.
-How fast do you think
that's gonna happen?

Take the money.

-Delilah.
-Take the money for what?

The remodeling that has to
take place before he moves
back into the house.

Hey. I'm gonna grab some
papers and I'll meet you
right back here.

[delilah] okay.

-Nate tells me you and he had
a talk yesterday?
-Hmm.

Settle some things?

I think he learned something.

Where's christine?

I'll give her another call.

Frances is okay with you
paying for the remodel?

That's nice of her.

It was her idea.

She's not who you
think she is.

Neither am I.

It's today, chris.
You know that.

You might wanna take a beat
before you turn that house

into something that
you can't sell.

She said she thought
it was tomorrow.

-Mm hmm.
-Delilah, don't say nothing.

Nobody knows what really
goes on between two people.

Remember, we're here
to support your brother.

-Okay, is this everybody?
-[both] yep.

-This is us for today.
-[woman] perfect. Right
this way, then.

-I still think--
-I would really appreciate
if you would stop

emceeing this whole thing
like you're the wise,
old patriarch.

I was just gonna say that
I'm very grateful that
you are here.

[cell phone ringing]

leah.

Is everything okay?

Um, I, uh, I just got a letter
from osbourne legal department
saying that

if I don't bring them
my laptop

and my phone, they're
gonna see that I'm charged
with theft.

[scoffs] they can't do that,
can they?

The laptop is mine.
The phone is mine.

The files are theirs.

Just bring 'em both
by the office.

Let harper clone them
and then you can hand 'em over
if you feel that's necessary.

I personally think that
they are bluffing.

Um, okay.

Is that a problem?

Yeah, uh...

No. No, I can do that.

-Are... [clears throat]
we're ready to get started.
-I'll be right there.

Why is that a problem, leah?

No, no, it's fine.
I can do that.

Okay, is there something
you're not telling me?

-Is that what's happening
again?
-I, um...

I said I can do it.

I said I'll bring them in.

Okay.

Great. Bye.

[mysterious music playing]

[sighs]

so.

The next thing is meeting at
the house to determine what
kind of work needs to be done.

That's the next step, right?

Now, regardless of how you
ultimately decide how to pay
for the work, nate,

you're gonna wanna get
in there and determine
the scope of it.

That's all this is. It's just
a basic ada assessment.

So, will four o'clock tomorrow
still work?

I'll check my calendar.

And will it work for
your wife?

-Yeah, four o'clock is fine.
-Okay.

-I can do four o'clock.
-Um, I'm not free until
after 4:30.

You don't have to come.

I don't want you bringing your
negativity and suspicion into
the house, around christine.

-Right when I'm trying
to make things better.
-I would never do that.

D!

I'm not trying to fight.

But you've been doing it
the whole meeting.

I've been sitting here,
listening.

Yeah. Like this.

And every time I say
christine's name, you give a
look like, "where is she?"

she screwed up.

-People make mistakes.
-Yeah, once.

Twice.

-Ten times in a row. Nathan,
that's not a mistake.
-That's enough now.

You don't tell me
what's enough.

Believe it or not,
this is normal.

Nobody is like my sister.

So, I don't see how
this is normal.

I think you can consider your
sister warned about her
non-verbal cues

and how they affect you.

-[man] or can he not?
-[laughs sarcastically]

okay.

I'll manage my looks.

[woman] so, 4:30 tomorrow,
right?

I can make four work.

-4:30 is fine.
-I can make four work.

Perfect.

Do you mind if I speak to you
for a second?

Alone?

-This is about the money,
not you. Yeah.
-Talk about anything you want.

-Thanks for all your help.
-Oh, my pleasure.

[woman] you all right,
miss connolly?

I'm fine. Thanks.

[instrumental music playing]

[tamara] opposing counsel
tipped me off that they have
evidence that someone in the

army is removing references
to c-15 malfunctions
in accident reports.

-What kind of evidence?
-I just need to know
if it's true.

Is there an active cover-up
that I need to know about,
fred?

I don't pretend to know
everything that
the us army does.

And if leah davis wants
to sue the army for something,

she's welcome to do it.

She can use the money
I'd love to give her

to pay for a lawyer.

But the fact remains
there's no way

the c-15 ever did anything

but let soldiers talk
to each other.

So if this case goes to court,

I can put you on the stand
and you would testify to that,

under oath?

-Karen.
-[karen] yes, sir?

Is raquel williams in today?

[karen] yes, sir.
She's in her office now.

Have her meet us
in the warehouse.

[karen] uh, right away, sir.

Who is raquel williams?

Gary shea's boss,

before he died
of a radical misconception.

She can walk you through

what the c-15 can
and cannot do,

then we won't have
to talk about this again.

We're probably gonna
talk about it.

I'm a christian.

My yes means yes,
my no means no.

And I am always under oath

in a court that matters
a lot more than the one
you make your living in.

That's for sure.

Ms. Roberts.

Raquel williams.

[tamara] nice to meet you.

Fred said you
need a little crash course
in objective reality.

Sounds like fred.

[raquel] okay.

These are g-10s.

Remotely detonated
ground-to-air missiles

made by wellington.

The same ones gary shea
thought could be detonated

if they're within the range
of a c-15.

What are they doing here?

[raquel] I'll get to that
in two minutes.

This is an osbourne c-15.

It's a
frequency-hopping radio.

When you turn it on
with this switch here...

[switch clicks]

...It starts cycling through
a pre-determined set
of frequencies.

It takes 30 seconds
to get through one cycle,
then it starts again.

So the enemy can't listen in.

Right. To listen in or jam it,

you'd have
to know the sequence.

Okay. I'm gonna set a timer
for 30 seconds

starting now.

And turn this on.

So it's...
It's doing its thing?

That's correct.

And that's live ammunition?

Yeah.

[digital beeping]

[raquel] you know why
I'm not worried?

Because to detonate
a wellington g-10,

you have to transmit
a three-digit code

in three
different frequencies.

Each number with
its own frequency.

I also know that the sequence
in the c-15

does not include
the sequences required

to detonate
one of these g-10s.

Five, four,

three, two,

-one.
-[device beeps]

[sighs]

satisfied?

[win]
whatever they've got left.

Fred, you don't have
to tell me twice.

I hear you loud and clear.

Wait, she just
walked in, actually.

We have a problem.

I'm sorry, win.
I told her you were on a call.

-She never listens.
-You're right, we do.

Sit down.

If you'll excuse us.

What were you doing out there?

I need to know for a fact

that these radios he makes
are harmless.

And then he
trotted out this...

This show pony to convince me.

Turns out,
gary shea's concerns

were sane enough.
They did tests on missiles

-to prove him wrong.
-And they proved he was wrong.

This is the first I'm hearing
of these tests.

I need to call hr.

I need to talk to wellington.

It's my job to prove

that this wasn't why
leah got fired.

But it's starting
to look to me

like it was.

Fred told me
you saw this radio operating

with live ammunition.

He said it was live,
she said it was live.
How do I know it was live?

[chuckles softly] tamara.

-This friend of yours.
-What friend?

-Leah davis.
-She's not my friend.

But she's crazy, right?

A loser. A hot mess. A liar.

-You told me.
-All these things are true,

-yeah.
-Okay.

Fred osbourne
just took the time

to walk you through
how the claims she's made

are spurious, and you
questioned his integrity.

-Is that he told you?
-You just did it again.

The point is, tam,

you got one person you know
is a liar, saying one thing,

and another person you
think is a liar,
saying another.

I think they both are liars.

And I could care less,

except for the fact that
I have to win this case.

Do you want me to replace you?

-No.
-We can put lacey on this,

just like you asked me to
way back when.

-No.
-"no." that's right.

Who sent those?

Me.

Jane ann told me
you just got engaged.

She'd thought
it'd be remiss of us
not to congratulate you.

I've been meaning
to deliver them.

Oh.

If you make partner

and you get married
in the same year...

I'm just saying,
from the point of view
of an old man like me,

-that's a good year.
-I hear you.

I want you
to send fred an email

thanking him for his time

and make it perfectly clear
that you get it now.

Get what?

That what he told you
is the truth.

Fine.

Jane ann...

Can you call quail and get me
a tee time tomorrow?

Their website's
acting up again.

[phone ringing]

connolly law office.

No, ms. Benson,
ms. Connolly is not in yet.

Yes, I'll let her know
you called. Thank you.

Did you draft
that depo notice yet?

I'll do it as soon as
ms. Connolly instructs me
to do so.

You can count on it.

[demetria] obioha?

I'm working on the md files
like you asked.

-Is there anything else--
-that's a nigerian name,
right?

-Yes.
-My father's people
are from west virginia,

but before that, sierra leone.

My mother's people from cuba,
by way of cameroon.

-We are all african.
-Well...

We're not all from charlotte.

It means helper, right?

[harper] mmm.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

[demetria] can I serve
that depo notice?

I want to see if fred osbourne

can lead us
to rick pattingale.

Mace he is nowhere
to be found.

Give me two minutes.

[tamara]
I haven't called you back.

Yeah, I noticed.

I don't know what to say, d.

Fred has his
tech ninja school me

on these radios.
It's a whole situation,
I'll tell you about.

You read those reports.
They're covering something up,
you know it.

[tamara] d, the army might be
doing something.

Let's go
after them together somehow,
but this case

is about why
leah davis got fired.

And that's all it's about.

-The c-15--
-enjoy your partnership.

[sighs]

demetria.

-Boss lady.
-Serve it.

Yes, ma'am.

You got that?

[playing violin]

again.

Slower.

[playing slower]

[stuttering] what...

What are you trying to say?

I've only played four notes.

You can tell a story
in one note if...

You know what it is
you're trying to say.

Now, again.

Slower.

Say something.

[playing slower]

there are violinists
in the third grade

who can play those four notes

with such confounding,
raw emotion

that they can move
a statue to tears.

No, no. Not you.

A statue.

You can't cry.

We're just getting started.

I just don't know
what you want.

I want you...

To try and show me your soul.

Playing the way that
you're playing right now,

playing the way
that you are approaching

playing right now...

It wouldn't get you
into the pit

of a public
high school musical.

-Are you serious
about the violin or not?
-I am.

Are you serious

about music or not?

[woman] and so,
you're gonna need
a ramp at the entrance,

and in the bathroom,

a grab-bar and a shower seat.

And in the rear bedroom, ugh,
you're gonna either have to

redo the whole doorway

or we could just take
the door off the hinges.

I don't mind taking
the door off-hinges and living
with that for a while.

Whatever works.

[wes] if a contractor's
gonna be here,

you two have them do the work.

Yeah, let's just
redo the door frame.

Now, I don't want
to spend your money, chief,
but what about the stairs?

[wes] just get it all done.

Hey, chris, would you be okay
with putting the chairlift
on the stairs?

Christine?

Whatever you need, just do it.

Whatever everyone needs, yeah.

[nate] we can wait a while
on dion's door.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

We don't have to
do the chairlift.

It's not about the chairlift!
I just...
I just can't do this!

What's the matter, baby?

[christine] just don't.

I don't like the...

I don't like the idea

of your father spending all
this money, because what if...
[inhales]

"what if" what?

-I don't know. Just, what if--
-"what if" what, christine?

Delilah. Stay out of it.

It's just a lot of money.

They're working it out.

I think seeing nate
in the house like that,

I think it just hit her.

Has she mentioned andre yet?

Delilah, those two people
are trying like hell

to crawl their way back
to each other right now.

Without mentioning andre?

-Who the hell is andre?
-Andre is the truth!

Sorry, I got--

I gotta go.

[sighing]

[sighs]

[sighs] oh.

[ringing tone]

[voicemail beep]

hey, leah, it's tamara.
We need to talk.

Call me back. Please.

What about this?

[both] no.

Ugh. Yeah. You're right.

Are you gonna marry this guy?

Marry him?
No, it's just a date.

Yeah, you know mom's
never getting married again.

Says who?

You did. When you
and dad split up.

-Oh.
-Is that not true?

Well, if I said it, I said it.

Um, and this is definitely
just a date, so...

[cell phone ringing]

it's aunty harper.

Ugh, I need new clothes.

Here, baby.

Did leah drop off the laptop
and the computer?

Did that happen?

Uh, no.
Do you want me
to go pick it up?

No. No, I'll do it
in the morning.

Do we still have the external
hard drive at the office?

-That one that--
-yes.

In my bottom-right drawer.

I can drop it off
on my way home.

Oh, thank you.
And if you'll do that,

can you also
print out the outline
for leah's depo prep?

I would love to
give her that, too.

Someone, who shall
remain nameless,

broke my printer today.

[harper] done and done.

-[delilah] what?
-Nothing.

Um...

Demetria.

I just wish
she'd mind her own business.

I don't ask her
why she's so weird.

-What did she do now?
-Nothing.

Just... She's just...
[sighs in exasperation]

okay. I'll talk to her.

Don't say I said anything.

No, of course not.
I'll see you Monday.

Bye.

What about-- [door closes]

-how was class?
-[boy] it was fine, mom.

Why don't you
just go like that?

Yeah, you're pretty.

[sighing]

well. [exhales]

you guys, we need
to get you, bath,

dinner for everybody,
and I gotta still get ready.

So, let's go.

-[jamal] hey.
-Hi.

-I was about to get worried.
-[chuckles] no,

it was just me. I had trouble
getting out the door, so...

Well, it was worth the wait.

You wanna go
for a little walk?

There's a sweet little park
right over here.

-Oh, what happened?
-Oh, nothing.

We just lost our table.

-Ugh. I'm sorry.
-Oh, don't be.

I got food to go.

You know that whole

first date sitting and staring
at each other thing?

-[laughs]
-it's way too much.

Shall we?

Yeah, I, uh, need to
get my steps in anyway.

-Good. Me, too.
-[both chuckle]

so we moved
to the states
from santo domingo

-when I was ten.
-Mmm.

First new york,
then dc, then here.

Why charlotte?

My mother heard
there was work.

And space to live.
Bigger apartments.

Seems like a very brave lady.

Trekking across the world
like that.

Mmm-hmm.

Anything for sueno americano.

[chuckles]

um, how did you meet casey?

-So my mother worked two jobs.
-Mmm.

Sometimes three.

And when she was gone
for long stretches,

she left me with
the neighbor lady,
mrs. Landon.

-Casey's mom?
-Casey's aunt.

Mmm.

He was only a few years
older than me

-but she watched him, too.
-Mmm.

And, everyday, when he got
home from football practice,

we'd watch
fresh prince of bel-air,

and casey helped me
learn english.

-Hmm. Really?
-Uh-huh.

-Interesting.
-What about you and tamara?

We met in middle school.

She wanted, and I only
found this out later,

she wanted to kiss
dominic baker.

Ah. Already a classic
tamara story.

Oh, yeah,
I...

She found a
barely age-appropriate
one-act play adaptation

of their eyes
were watching god.

She convinced
our english teacher
to let her put up a show

and cast dominic as tea cake.

-Just so she could kiss him?
-Right.

-[chuckles] of course.
-[delilah laughs]

-well, could he act?
-He was fine.

-Tamara, five minutes in,
-uh-huh.

She forgets her lines.

She says,
"wait right here, tea cake."

and she runs off.

Like ten minutes later,

the english teacher
has us all go look for her.

Mmm-hmm.

And I found her on the floor

of the ladies
faculty bathroom,
crying her eyes out.

We've been best friends
ever since.

Did she at least
get to kiss him?

No.

He wouldn't do it in rehearsal

and he never got to it
in the play.

Why wouldn't he do it
in rehearsal?

Why do you think?

[chuckling] oh.

Now I feel bad for tamara.

Oh, we both know
tam is doing okay.

[cell phone ringing] um.

Um. [clears throat]

I have to take this.
I'm sorry.

It's okay.

[delilah] leah?
Hey, what's up?

[leah] d, I'm freaking out.

I just got home
and my front door was open.

Someone was in my apartment.

What? Someone broke in?

[leah] yeah,
it looks like it, yeah.

-Is anything missing?
-[leah] I don't know.

[leah] just hang on.

Wait a minute.
D, I think they're still here!

Leah, listen to me. Go outside
and call the police.

Get out of the house
right now.

[leah] okay.

And stay on the phone with me.

[leah] stop! [screams]
get your hands off of me!
Get your hands off of me!

Leah.

Leah!
