[Trisha] And if we can funnel more money

into digital marketing

via Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok,

we can assure, if you take a look at your notes,

the sales will be up by a 30% margin overall,

as opposed to using an older form of marketing.

And so, so--

And so, in order for our company to boom,

a social media presence is definitely necessary,

which can help us around 30%.

There's also TV marketing, but that only works

if you market to a specific demo.

And although people think it's a dying machine,

radio is still by far the number one way

to promote by 25%.

Derrick, you don't got to raise your hand,

you just jump on in there.

-Oh, sorry, it's a habit. -[Jamie] Toss it.

What if we could somehow merge them all?

Like a company that does radio promo

along with TV and social media?

We're listening.

[Derrick] Cara and I came up with an idea for a company

that buys ad shares in bulk,

sells them back to the companies for double the price.

It's kind of like the Groupon of ad sales.

You know what? That's not a bad idea.

Most people like to buy in bulk like Costco.

It's not like anything is cheaper,

-there's just more of it. -Yeah.

That's the little trick that they use

to get you to spend more without you even noticing.

Hmm.

[Trisha] So we'll be like the digital Costco.

Ah, digital Costco.

I like it.

Okay.

That's what we're gonna sell.

Derrick, Cara,

you guys have won the opportunity

to pitch with us tomorrow.

If everything goes well...

I smell a promotion.

All right. For the rest of y'all,

better luck next time.

Work smarter, not harder, people.

How is this supposed to be our life theme song

and you don't know the words?

Come on, Trish, you know I don't be having time

to learn the words, okay?

You know I be making up my own lyrics,

that's my thing, okay?

There's more important things in life

than learning lyrics to a song.

See, there you go,

being all philosophical on me, gosh.

I mean, does everything have to define importance?

Yes. Everything has to define importance,

that's what's wrong with the world today.

Nobody defines what's important and what's not.

-Oh, and you do? -Of course I do.

-Oh, example? -Example,

say I take the time out of my busy schedule

to learn lyrics to a song.

And that's taking away from something

that I could be doing that's way more important

like practice for our presentation today.

[gasps]

Oh, about that, I forgot to practice.

See, probably because you was too busy

learning lyrics to the song.

-[Trisha] Shut up. -You shut up.

Make me. Aah.

Oh, that was my titty.

Ain't nobody thinking about your small titty.

Okay. Don't be talkin' about my titties now.

Hmm, I'm talking about it because they small.

Keep my titties out ya mouth.

First of all, your titties ain't ever been in my mouth,

but if you want them in my mouth,

-I'm free after 6:00. -Shut up.

-Just saying. -[Trisha] Gross.

[Jamie] That's why your titties too little.

[laughter]

[indistinct chatter]

Congratulations, you guys, on a phenomenal idea today

that we are gonna pitch to...Jason Maxwell.

Wait a minute, we're pitching to Jason Maxwell?

The Jason Maxwell?

The youngest self-made African-American billionaire,

-Jason Maxwell? -That's whom.

So that's why this pitch is so important.

We got to practice, we got to make sure

we are on point

because this could change our careers,

this could change our lives,

this could change everything--

We know, we know. And on Monday,

we're gonna get back to the business talk.

We should be turning up.

-Okay. Okay. -I'm with Trish.

Let's get lit.

Can't argue with pretty girls, man.

[cheering]

Woo!

Now, Trish, on Monday,

I need you to be focused on this, Trish,

because it's so big and this could be...

-I mean, come on now. -I'm gonna be focused,

-I promise. -All right. Pinky promise.

-Pinky promise. -Promise.

Pinky promise.

Woo!

-Let's make a bet. -All right.

I bet you four more shots

that you can't pull ten numbers tonight.

Okay. Well, I bet you six more shots

that you can't pull twenty.

Damn, that's double the number I gave you.

I mean, well, you're the one that's all beautiful and sexy

with the little skirt on and everything.

I'm just the guy that likes numbers.

You got the advantage.

True.

It's true.

-It's a bet. -All right.

In the meantime, to friendship, partnership,

and everything in-between.

To whatever she just said and me winning this bet.

[laughs]

Woo!

Oh, there we go, let it out.

Oh, oh, yeah.

That's how you do it.

Oh, yeah.

That's it.

You, you set me up.

[Jamie] I did. I did.

I didn't know it was gonna be this bad.

Boy, what a night.

No, no, no, no.

Don't leave me.

Can you cuddle with me tonight?

All right, make some room, you big baby.

[Trisha] Hmm.

[singer] ♪ Oh, oh, oh

♪ Oh, oh, oh

♪ I know you lie go out every night ♪

♪ You look so good that I wanna take a bite ♪

[food processor whirring]

[glass clacking]

Let me guess.

You won the bet?

I mean, do you even have to ask?

The apartment is spinning right now.

I need a--

Alka-Seltzer shot,

boom, right there.

See, that's why we right here.

Uh-hmm.

I also prepared my special

turmeric ginger drink.

A little bit of extra turmeric

and ginger for the stomachache, voila.

And lastly.

-Mmm. -Black coffee,

no sugar, no cream.

That's gonna help with the headache.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much, you're the best.

That's why I can always count on you, Jamie.

What are best friends for, right?

[gasps] Oh, my gosh.

That new movie came out today.

We Belong Together which I already ordered for tonight,

Saturday night streaming party.

I also ordered the snacks.

And I left you the food

because I know if I don't let you

at least do one thing,

you're gonna start cussing me out,

and it's gonna be a whole big thing.

And I don't feel like dealing with

the Wicked Witch of the West tonight.

[chuckles]

I'll get you my little pretty.

And your little dog, too.

Oh, Toto. Where Toto at?

Don't do that to Toto.

-[woman] Hey. -[man] Hey, Trixie,

what can I do for you?

I just wanted to say thanks again.

Besides saving my life last week,

you've earned many thousands of good thing.

I got the job, I started yesterday.

-[man] Good. -Oh, oh, my God.

-Trish, this pizza is bomb. -Uh-hmm.

Where you order this from again?

Mmm, a woman never tells her secrets.

But it could've been my boy Domino...

-Okay. -...or my big homie Papa John.

My little homie Valerie.

-Okay. -Uh-hmm.

Well, you tell the homies

that they can burn some pizza dough.

[laughing]

Jamie,

I really do appreciate you.

Like you're always have my back,

and you're always supporting me,

and always laughing at my horrible jokes.

[laughs]

[Trisha] As you know.

Yeah.

And you really had my back after Ryan left me.

-You know I was a wreck. -Uh-hmm.

Well, look,

we've known each other since we was, what, eight?

I always had your back.

And that ain't gonna change, you already know what's up,

that's for life.

Will you be my maid of honor at my wedding?

Can you do that?

You know, I could be the man of honor.

-Uh-hmm. -Yeah.

And then I could be, like, the best woman at yours.

-I like that. -[Trisha] Uh-hmm.

-Pinky shake. -Pinky shake with earthquake.

-Pinky shake. -[laughing]

Oh, my God.

Jamie?

What's up?

Do you think I'm smart?

I actually think that's a dumb question

for a smart person to ask.

Aah, don't kick me, okay.

Yes, yes.

I do think you're smart.

I actually think you're brilliant,

and beautiful, and focused,

and determined.

Sometimes a little irresponsible,

but you always show up,

and that's what makes you such a bomb person.

[Trisha] Thank you.

Yeah. Ryan would have never said any of that about me.

He used to always say,

"Better be lucky you cute

because, boy, ain't nothing up there."

And then would laugh about it like it was funny.

And I actually used to always take that really personal.

Anyways, I heard that he is working

at a new shoe factory in Texas, so.

I mean, I don't mean to sound funny

but, you know, your boy Ryan's

out in Texas at a shoe factory,

while you're out in LA living your best life,

and boss of your own successful marketing company.

-Uh-hmm. -One of the most successful

marketing companies in the West Coast,

-may I add. -[Trisha] Uh-hmm.

I'd say things always kind of happen

the way they're supposed to happen.

Yeah.

Think Ryan could hook me up with some shoes,

the new Jordans?

-Jamie. That is not... -If he had the shoes--

-...why I brought that up. -He at the factory.

I was saying he at the factory,

he'd hook up with, well, some Jordans.

[Trisha] So make sure that the numbers are right, okay?

Jamie said Maxwell is a numbers guy,

so I just wanna be prepared for anything he may throw at us.

-You got it, boss. -He's a strategy guy

and that's where I come in.

I'll lay out the strategic outline,

you bring the numbers.

Derrick is gonna come with the idea.

And Jamie is gonna bring us home

with the finishing touches.

Look, we cannot let him

leave this office without cutting us a check.

Yeah. I like the way you think.

Now, this guy has pockets deep as the blue sea,

and guess what, we're going swimming.

-Okay. -[Jamie] Y'all ready?

-So he's 10 minutes away. -Absolutely.

[Jamie] And he is super-duper punctual,

so he will not be late.

Let's get ready.

Okay.

[phone rings]

Up, up, up.

Oh, everyone, please sit down.

Sit, sit, sit, sit.

I'll make this quick.

I'm looking for the next big thing.

You guys have five minutes to impress me,

and tell me why I need your business.

That five minutes starts now.

[Jamie] Oh, yes, okay.

So, uh, let's see.

Um, so 2021, uh, sales were a bit low.

Stop.

Giving me information that I already know

isn't gonna work for you.

You have four minutes left.

I'd use them wisely if I were you.

[Jamie] Okay. So, okay.

Then 2022, we come around and high value--

Jesus, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Is this a joke?

Don't bother answering that.

Um, so at this point,

I wanna thank you all from the bottom of my heart

for completely wasting my time.

Really appreciate it.

Wait, Mr. Maxwell.

I don't know who you think you are,

but this is a business.

Now we spent a lot of time

on this pitch for you

because we care about our business.

So you can take a sit and properly listen,

or you can take the next three minutes to leave.

[whistles]

Feisty one, I see.

May I ask what is your name?

Trisha Freeman,

co-founder of Trimie Digital.

This is my partner Jamie Dawson,

Cara Gonzales, and Derrick Carter.

We've prepared a beautiful presentation for you,

so, if you'd like to listen,

we can start now.

Okay, Ms. Freeman.

Let's see what you got.

Okay.

All right. Let's just get straight to the point.

We all know how much the world is changing.

And, yeah, we know how much radio

is so important to promotion,

and we also know how much social media

is taking over the promotion game.

But one can't live without the other.

So we wanna integrate the two into one.

I'm listening.

So we wanna buy radio

and social media ad shares in bulk

and sell them back to the companies

for double the price.

Think of it like the Costco of ad sales.

And with a business like yours,

one that everyone already trusts,

we all feel like we can

take this marketing game to the next level.

Well?

I love it.

-You do? -[Jason] Uh-hmm.

Have a full proposal sent to my office by noon today.

Okay. Thank-thank you, Mr. Maxwell.

No. Don't thank me.

Thank Ms. Freeman here for being so amazing.

All right. So we will have our attorney draft up something

-and get it right over to you. -No, no, no, no.

I already told you,

something in writing by noon.

I'll make my decision after dinner tonight.

Dinner?

Yeah, we'd love to go to dinner.

-It sounds great. -No.

Just Ms. Freeman.

We can close it then.

How's 8:00 sound?

Sounds like a date.

-What the heck just happened? -[laughter]

Trisha's had a billionaire

ask her to dinner tonight to close the deal.

Trish, you are a freaking rockstar!

So, are you gonna go tonight?

-Where? -To dinner with Mr. Maxwell.

Oh, hell, yeah.

And she's gonna close the biggest deal of our careers.

-Wow. -It's time to get

the champagne poppin'.

[upbeat music]

[Jamie] Are you done yet?

Yeah.

Don't you see I'm out?

Well, finally, you're out.

Well, I hope you clean, okay?

All the time you took.

All right now, you got to be careful with this dude.

Guys like Jason, they only want one thing.

You got to give me more credit than that, Jamie.

I mean, maybe he just...

liked that I wasn't scared of him

or maybe, just maybe

he saw something in me other than my looks.

Aww, maybe

-or maybe he just wanna hit it. -[Trisha] Okay.

We're just gonna have to wait and see.

Whatever. Can you just help me

find something to wear, please, before I'm late?

Is there anything else you need me to do for you?

-Yes, everything. -I got to be the stylist.

I got to be the wash-washing machine.

You know how this makes me stressed out.

I don't know what to wear.

Uh, I actually got something in mind.

I like this one.

What you think?

Yeah. Um...

-Not trying too hard? -Right. Yeah.

-Nothing too much, you know? -I like that. I like this.

-Yes. Perfect. Thank you. -Cool. All right.

-Hurry up. -Thank you.

Don't take another hour, please.

-I'm not. -You got to go impress this guy.

-It just has to be perfect. -We got to get this deal.

-[Jamie sighs] -We got to get this deal.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

Mmm. So good.

-So... -Uh-hmm.

...tell me about yourself, Ms. Freeman.

-What do you wanna know? -Everything.

Starting with why a woman as intelligent as you

does not have her own business by now?

[chuckles]

Well, um,

it's just always been me and my best friend Jamie.

He's the brains and I'm the beauty.

[chuckles] At least that's our little joke we have.

Yeah. I mean, you are undeniably gorgeous,

but it seems to me that

you're way more than just your beauty.

I mean, if it wasn't for your brain,

we wouldn't be out here right now about to close a deal

because you saved your boy's ass in that room.

Hmm.

Thanks.

Trish. Trish, where are you going?

What's up? How did everything go?

I wanna know all the juicy details,

unless you had sex on the first night

because if you did, that would make you nasty

and I don't wanna know nothing about that.

Shut up. All the girls you have sex with

on the first date, I know you ain't talking.

Exactly my point, they nasty.

[Trish] I don't even know why you would think

I would do something like that anyways.

You know I have more respect for myself than that.

Yes, I do know that.

I also know you have a weakness

for handsome guys with money.

Whatever. Look, it was cool.

But you know that like arrogant jerk he was in the office?

[sighs] Yeah. How could I forget?

He was the exact opposite.

He's actually like really charming,

and sweet, and loving.

Still not my type, like at all

by a far shot, like, ooh, no.

But, um, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Okay. Enough about his resume. Did you close the deal or not?

His team is gonna call Monday to negotiate.

[laughter]

-Yeah. -Give up for you. Hey!

♪ Never [indistinct] never fret ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go

Yeah. [laughing]

-There's just one thing, though. -What's that?

He wants to go out again.

Well, go out with him.

Take him out. Pay for his dinner.

Don't matter, whatever you got to do to close this deal.

We got to close.

Yeah, you're right.

-Almost there. -This close.

So, how was your food?

Oh, amazing. This...and this place is...

it's really nice.

Yeah. Thank you.

-Uh-hmm. -You know, I'm not gonna lie,

the past few weeks have been amazing.

You know what? Getting to know you has been different

-than I expected as well. -Hmm.

-[chuckles] -Okay.

[laughter]

Oh, no, no, no. You don't have to... [chuckles]

You don't have to...

Just, just hear me out.

I just wanna let you know that I'm ready to take

our relationship to another direction.

[chuckles]

I, um...

I don't know...I don't know what to say.

Well, just relax.

I'm not asking you to marry me or anything.

[laughs]

Wow.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

It's as beautiful as you.

This is...it's gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me. Can I have another glass of wine, please?

Yes, please give the lady how much she wants,

whatever she wants.

And I will have a pineapple sprite when you get a chance.

Thanks.

Wow. That looks so good on you.

I think I did really good here.

-I'm not gonna lie. -I think you did amazing.

I think I did so well with this.

Thank you. You did not have to.

-I'm just-- -No. It's nothing. It's nothing.

-Okay. -Like I said,

just a token of my appreciation.

-Right. -Just lights up your face.

I love it.

-Thank you. -Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Hmm.

-Yay. Uber. [chuckles] -Don't fall.

-Get in there. Come on. -Oh, wait. Oh, jeez.

-Kind of short. Okay. -All right. All right.

-Oh. Thank you so much. -Have a good night.

-Oh. -Drink lots of water.

Okay.

-All right. -Okay.

Get your feet in there. Come on.

-[Trish] Thank you. -All right.

-[Trish] Thank you. -Yeah.

-Make sure she gets home safely. -I will.

-Got you. -All right, man.

[car door closes]

[sighs] Jamie, you're not gonna believe

the night I had with him.

I had to fake drunk just to get rid of that dude.

[sighs] I think after we sign,

I'm definitely hooking him and Cara up.

Oh, they will be perfect for each other.

[reporter] The investigators are looking into a car crash

early this morning involving billionaire Jason Maxwell.

-Resources say there was no-- -Oh, my gosh.

Trish. Trish, wake up.

[reporter] Possible intoxication.

What's up?

How much did you and Jason drink last night?

What do you mean?

You know Jason doesn't drink.

Why?

He was in an accident.

What?

[reporter] A worldwide marketing company--

They're saying he might have been under the influence.

He died on impact. Gosh.

[reporter] Youngest African-American to sell--

But he doesn't even drink, so that can't be true.

[reporter] Maxwell was just in talks

-about a multimillion dollar-- -Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. This is all my fault.

Hey, wait, Trish. Come on. Don't do that.

This is not your fault. People die every day.

No, no, no, no. I mean...I mean,

he wanted me to come with him to this little place

that he knew of, but I didn't-- I didn't wanna go

because he gave me this necklace and it just made me

feel all weird, and I didn't want him

to feel like I was wasting his money.

So I just told him I had work in the morning.

If I just would have went with him,

maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Look, Trish, don't do that, all right?

Okay. This is sad, but I'm gonna let you blame

yourself over somebody's reckless act, all right?

It's not your fault, Trish.

[Shirley] This guy had zero alcohol in his system.

Cause of death was poison.

Funny thing is, is that he could have survived the accident.

Wait, wait. Poison?

Yes. Botulinum toxin was found in his system.

Hmm. So you're telling me this is a murder investigation

and not a drunk driving accident?

So, why do you think you're here and not someone from his family?

-Did you get her? -Her, what?

The woman that killed Jason Maxwell.

-I... -Trisha Freeman?

She was last seen with Jason last night.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No.

Trust me, she's number one on our suspect list.

-We're gonna get to her. -Oh.

You had no idea?

Jas, you need to slow down, all right?

Everything don't move this fast.

These things take time, okay?

It's only been a couple hours.

And, plus, we found out that Jason Maxwell was poisoned,

so maybe I do need to check out this Trish girl

that you're talking about.

Wait a minute. He was poisoned?

Oh, you mean that you had no idea?

The rookie that knows everything didn't know something.

-[chuckles] -Okay. You're right.

But no, seriously, he, uh,

he had a toxin in his system.

That guy was dead before he even crashed into a tree.

And whoever poisoned him, put an empty bottle of vodka

in his car to make it seem like it was a drunk driving accident.

From the words of Jason Maxwell,

whoever set this up is pretty much an idiot.

Why are they an idiot?

Trying to say that Jason Maxwell was drunk driving

is like trying to tell everyone

that Michael Jordan play football.

The hell are you talking about, Jas?

Jason Maxwell stopped drinking when his good friend

was killed by a drunk driver.

Really? And where the hell did you get that from?

It's an interview. An old interview

that's all over the internet and IG,

basically saying he hasn't drank since college.

How does a man that does not drink die from drunk driving?

-Hmm. -And I'm the rookie.

All I'm trying to say here is that you need to check

that Trish, check out.

That's all I'm saying.

All right. All right, Jas. I'm on it.

All right.

[doorbell rings]

-[Jamie] [indistinct] -Thank you.

Okay.

Jamie, who's...

Trish.

Ms. Freeman.

Detective Kyle Hays,

LAPD.

I just wanna ask you a few questions

about your last night out with Mr. Jason Maxwell.

So it was brought to my knowledge

that you two were together, right?

-Detective Hays, was it? -Yes.

Is Trish under arrest?

No, she's not under arrest, Mr., what was--

Oh. Jamie is my name.

And hey, she's been through so much already

just finding out the news, so if you're not charging her

with anything and she's not under arrest,

and clearly you don't have a search warrant,

I'd respectfully like to ask you to leave.

Listen, Ms. Freeman, we would just like

to ask you a few questions, okay?

So if you're up to it,

please feel free to give me a call.

My cell number is on the back of the card, so--

Thank you, detective.

Thank you both for your cooperation.

You have a good evening.

Oh, my God, you let him in?

It's the cops. I didn't know what to do.

-Oh, my God. -Look,

-everything is gonna be fine. -They think I did it.

[interviewer] You sell alcohol, but don't drink.

It's a very interesting story behind that.

Talk to us about why you don't drink.

Yeah. Um,

I lost one of the closest people to me

in a drunk driving accident.

And ever since then, I vowed to never drink.

I saw how it took my friend

and I just can't imagine being the one behind the wheel

taking someone's life.

So you've never drank before?

Not since the accident, no.

And I don't plan to.

[Jasmine] Hey. So what happened?

Happened with what?

Did you get to talk to that Trisha chick yet?

Yeah. I went to speak with her

but her boyfriend or whatever the dude was,

he must have some knowledge of the law

because he asked me did I have a warrant.

And of course I didn't, so yeah.

Damn.

Do you think she did it?

I highly doubt that a woman like her

would poison Mr. Maxwell,

you know, plus she has no motive.

And where would she be able to get a drug,

you know, like that?

True.

But hey,

you never really know nowadays, right?

Hmm.

You are right about that.

Just saying.

Yeah.

Just saying.

[Trisha] Due to recent

and unfortunate news about Mr. Maxwell,

we will not be closing the deal.

What?

But not to worry

because I'm in contact with an iHeart Radio rep.

So we went from closing a multimillion dollar deal

with a billionaire to Jamie

in contact with an iHeart rep?

Should I just start looking for a new job now?

Man, we were supposed to be the Costco of advertising.

Now I just might end up working at Costco.

Oh, come on. Yeah. Don't do that.

Look, hey, listen.

Everybody, this is not a time to panic, okay?

Because we're still one of the most successful companies

-on the West Coast. -Exactly.

So let's not start making jokes

about new jobs just yet.

We'll be fine.

-We're good. -Yeah. We're good.

Hey. Looking for something?

Oh, hey.

I was actually looking for that scarf.

I know that the laundry...

was it mixed up in your stuff? Have you seen it?

No, I actually haven't.

Well, anyways.

I'll save you some hot water.

I was just gonna make a run real quick

and I'll jump in the shower when I get back.

Oh, okay.

Well, you need me to go with you?

No. I'll be fine.

You can take the car today if you want

and I'll just Uber home.

Oh, okay. Cool.

All right. Cool. See you later.

See you later.

I have Trisha Freeman here to see you.

Come on in, Ms. Freeman.

Ms. Freeman, I'm actually surprised to see you.

Yeah. I didn't get an opportunity to speak to you

when you showed up at my house yesterday.

My best friend Jamie

is a little overprotective.

Overprotective?

I see.

But he was actually right.

We didn't have a warrant or a reason to arrest you,

so a phone call probably

would've been more professional in my part.

But please, have a seat.

So I just wanna get into some questions

about your relationship with Mr. Jason Maxwell.

You were the last person to see him alive,

you understand that, right?

And you two were dating to my knowledge,

-is that correct? -[Trisha] Not exactly.

My company and I had been trying to get a meeting

with this man for months.

We finally got his attention

and he agreed to meet with us.

Turns out he would only agree

to do the deal if I went out with him.

So we went on a few dates.

It wasn't anything serious on my end.

But he started to catch feelings

and he gave me this diamond necklace.

Diamond necklace?

So tell me exactly what happened on the night

that he gave you the diamond necklace.

[Trisha] So I had a few more drinks.

He offered to take me to one more place

but I just pretended to be more drunk

than I actually was so I didn't have to go.

[Kyle] Okay.

I understand that.

Did you witness any unusual behavior from Mr. Maxwell?

Was there any suspicious people

that might've rubbed you the wrong way?

Just knowing that Jason is a very popular guy,

I'm sure he had lots of handlers.

Not really, no.

It was always just him and his driver

that took me home but that's it.

Understood.

What did actually happen to him?

Was he really drinking?

Not at all, Ms. Freeman.

Jason Maxwell was poisoned

during your last date with him.

He ingested a nano toxin.

So either you poisoned him on his date

or someone else got into his car and jabbed him with a poison

and drove him into a light pole.

Oh, that's awful.

Who would do such a thing?

[Kyle] That's what we're trying to find out.

So I'm investigating his family, friends,

his loved ones, his business associates,

anyone who would've wanted Mr. Jason Maxwell dead

or someone who would benefit from his passing.

So you think I had something to do with it?

[Kyle] Not at all, Ms. Freeman.

I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.

That is my job.

Well, please let me know if you have any leads on this.

And may I?

Call me if you need anything else.

I really wanna help find the person who did this.

-Thank you. -Thank you for your help,

Ms. Freeman.

Thanks.

I'll be in touch.

[woman on TV] Oh, my God.

-[Jamie] [sighs] -[woman on TV] Looking for you.

[woman on TV] This is what you've always wanted.

All right, Trish.

What's wrong?

I just can't stop feeling like Jason's death is my fault.

I mean, I...like if I would've went with him,

maybe he would still be alive right now.

Listen, we already went over this a thousand times.

It's not your fault.

The dude is saying it was an accident.

No. No, it wasn't.

Jason was poisoned.

Wait.

Wait, who told you that?

I read it somewhere.

So you're telling me the guy was murdered?

Yes, but that's...but that's not the point.

The point is if I would've just played my position,

went home with him, maybe slept with him,

he would still be alive today and our company

would be in a completely different position.

You know, you could always sell

that diamond necklace that he got you.

Our company would definitely--

-I'm serious. -[Jamie] Okay. I know.

I know you're serious.

I'mma...I'mma keep it a buck with you.

Sometimes it is a good idea to use what you got

to get what you want.

But as long as you can sleep at night

and you keep your integrity, that's what's important.

I mean, could you have gone home and slept with Jason?

You know, maybe, maybe not.

But I mean,

if you're telling me the guy was murdered

then technically

if you would've went home with him or not,

he would still be dead.

In some odd way,

what you just said makes a lot of sense.

I know. That's because we besties.

We understand each other.

[phone vibrating]

[tense music]

[cellphone beeping]

[Trisha] Detective Hays?

Yeah.

I can be there in 10 minutes.

Okay.

[Kyle] So we got surveillance footage

of Mr. Jason Maxwell being attacked

in a parking garage that you two were eating at.

[Trisha] Are there any suspects yet?

I'm starting to think that it may be

a professional hit.

He wore a black hoodie, so we didn't get

facial recognition

and gloves so he didn't leave fingerprints or DNA

at the crime scene.

So what does that mean?

It means that we're in the dark.

This person may get away with murder.

[sighs]

This is so crazy.

I just feel really bad for his family.

Well, my team is working around the clock.

We're gonna find this person.

But that's not the real reason I called you here, Ms. Freeman.

You being the last person that was with Mr. Maxwell alive,

and now that we're thinking that this was a hit,

you may be in danger yourself.

So what should I do?

Lay low. Watch your back.

If you see anything strange, you need to give me a call.

[Trisha] [sighs] Okay.

Thank you for coming by.

Hey.

If you're ever hungry

or just wanna talk about the case,

I know this really good pizza spot uptown.

Just a thought.

I love pizza.

[Trisha] Have you ever had to kill someone?

Actually, you know, with me being a detective,

we don't really do that as much as the police officers would

but, you know, anything could happen

in the line of duty.

Really? Wow, that must be really hard.

You have no idea how hard it is.

Oh, shit.

-Hey. -Hey.

-You missed the meeting. -Oh, shoot.

I'm so sorry.

I've just been running errands.

All day?

Yeah.

I'll see you at home.

Oh.

[indistinct chatter over TV]

[upbeat music]

[machine whirring]

-[Jamie] Hey, hey, hey. -[Trisha] Morning.

[Jamie] Right on time.

-Voila. -Hmm.

I'm okay today.

Oh. You good now because you're dating

your little mystery boyfriend, huh,

your little boo thing, you know what I'm saying?

So tell me, when do I get to meet him?

When do I get to meet the man that you're replacing me with?

Oh, shut up, Jamie. I have not replaced anybody.

Plus, nobody can replace my Jamie Wamie.

My Jamie Wamie.

Whatever.

You was out with him all night last night, all right?

Seemed like it was getting a little serious.

I see you got your makeup done, your hair done,

probably brought out the new curling iron

that you bought two years ago you never used.

Actually, I did.

I don't know. I do like him though. I do.

But you know me, I'm just gonna take it slow.

Plus, I'm the date killer now so I don't want him to die

once we go out.

Look, I don't want you to die before you get the snacks

and the pizza for tonight.

Saturday night streaming, okay?

I did my part.

-Now you gotta do yours. Good. -I got you.

[Jamie] All right. And no phones this time.

Because last week, you didn't even watch the movie.

You were just [giggling]

Okay, okay. You're right.

But you know how it is when you first start

talking to somebody.

Don't act like you wasn't the same way with Rachel.

Don't... because Rachel was different.

Yeah, because Rachel was a night guard at the penthouse,

I could only talk to her at night.

That's what that was about for me and Rachel.

Whatever.

Look, I got some things to do with Derrick today,

so I'll be back around like 6:00.

-Uh-hmm. -[Jamie] Uh-hmm.

Sure you don't want the drink?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good.

Why don't you give it to your little boyfriend?

Maybe he'll appreciate the work.

Here we go.

The hard work that I put into making your drink

that you ain't even gonna drink.

[upbeat music]

[man on TV] You know I'm not an idiot.

I've done divorce.

Ms. James, the security guard,

you were [indistinct]

you were stabbed [indistinct]

do you know where you are?

[woman on TV] Nothing.

[dramatic music]

I told you this pizza is amazing.

You did tell me. [indistinct]

-Yeah, maybe I should. -[indistinct]

No, I'm-I'm the cop. I'm gonna save you.

-[Trisha] Oh, right, right. -[Kyle] Yeah, I do the saving.

Detective Kyle Hays.

LAPD.

I just wanna ask you a few questions

about your last night out with Mr. Jason Maxwell.

[Singer] ♪ Don't wanna see you with nobody ♪

[Trisha] Oh.

Oh. Hey.

Oh, hey?

Where you been?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh my gosh, Jamie, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'll make it up to you next Saturday, okay?

It totally just... it just escaped me this week.

I don't know what's going on.

Trish, five years we've done our Saturday streaming parties.

-Five years. -What?

[Jamie] No, no.

And now that you're dating this cop, you wanna miss?

[Trisha] How'd you know I was seeing a cop?

What are you doing, following me now?

Yeah, I followed you.

Okay. That's really creepy.

[Jamie] Since when does it become creepy to follow someone

when your best friend goes missing

for a few hours with no call?

Right now when you just told me you followed me.

Hang on, Trish. You are so inconsiderate.

You're just selfish.

After everything that I've done for you,

it's like I've had your back since we was kids,

always giving,

never expecting anything in return

and this is how you treat me?

I mean...

I mean, you only got a job because of me!

What's that supposed to mean?

Exactly what I said.

I'm the one that got you a job.

Always hustling, making sure you good.

Would nobody hired you if it wasn't for me

doing that for you.

You're the beauty, I'm the brains, remember?

But you said it yourself the other night.

The only thing you're good for is laying on your back.

You couldn't even do that right.

That was low.

Right. I'm-I'm sorry.

Get out of my house.

Trish, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

Get out!

Or did you forget that my name is on the lease,

because Jamie's credit wasn't good enough.

You're not the only one helping a friend out, right?

Or should I say ex-friends?

-Trish, you-- -Get out

before I call my cop boyfriend to come put you out!

You know, the one that's not complaining

about me laying on my back.

[Derrick] You need to stop beefin',

I mean it's affecting the business.

What's-what's the problem now?

[Jamie] Um, Trish accused me of being creepy.

I flipped out,

said a few things I shouldn't have

and she kicked me out.

Creepy?

[chuckles] Man, what you do?

Remember after the whole Jason Maxwell thing happened,

you know, a detective shows up at our door, asking for Trisha.

Naturally, me being overprotective,

uh, I followed her.

Following you isn't so bad if he was just trying

to look out for you.

I mean, what if that guy tried to hurt you

and he was there to stop it?

You ever tried to look at it from that angle?

It turns out she was meeting with the detective.

Can I be honest, bro?

Yeah.

You following her is a little sketchy.

Yeah, I know it's a little sketchy,

but Trisha is too vulnerable.

She trusts guys too easy, you know?

And I've always, you know, been there to protect her.

I've literally had to protect her

in the past from it.

What do you mean protect her?

Uh, that's not even important.

The important thing is looking out for Trisha,

just always been my thing.

Just always wanted what's best for her, you know?

But the things he said, they aren't forgivable.

-Trish. -What?

People say things all the time that they don't mean.

It doesn't mean that Jamie doesn't love you.

Bruh, if I didn't know you,

I'd think we were talking about your 14-year-old

rebellious daughter.

Do you hear yourself right now?

[chuckles] Yeah. When I say it out loud,

it does sound a little ridiculous.

[sighs] I don't know, man.

I just think I really screwed up.

Yeah, look, man, I mean, at this time,

maybe it's best for you to give her her space

and let her figure out all of this on her own.

Come on, you guys been best friends since you were two.

Come on, give the guy a chance.

I don't even know if he wants to fix things

after the way I treated him.

[sighs]

There's this cool invention called the phone.

-Oh. -You can call someone

without actually having to see them.

-You should try it. -Oh, whatever.

I thought about our company.

I can't just roll up into work like, you know,

like that never happened.

Hmm, what you gonna do?

I don't even know.

You're crazy.

No, I'm right.

Yes, you are.

You should call him and apologize.

Tell him how sorry you are for overreacting and fix it,

so we can be all happy again.

It's weird when Mom and Dad are fighting.

[chuckles] Okay.

Uh, let me...I'll call him, but just not right now.

I'm not ready.

And plus, I have you to keep me company.

Yeah, but don't get used to this, okay?

I have a man,

and I'm sacrificing my sex life right now

to be your substitute BFF.

Hey, how's that, uh, IHeart Channel looking?

Actually, that's looking good.

I got one of my guys

who's gonna hook me up with Doc Winter,

so it might be good.

That's what's up.

The Doc.

Just got to figure this Trish thing out first.

So figure it out ASAP.

Whatever.

Ew! The guy.

-He's been here. -[chuckles]

Is that the cop boyfriend?

Okay. He is not my boyfriend.

I'm just helping him with Jason's case.

Yeah, okay.

Trish, I wasn't born yesterday.

I know what that smile means.

Okay, you're right. Oh.

He's just so charming

and, like, he's like really sweet, and nice,

-and-- -Uh-hmm.

Like every other guy who's just trying to get

in them panties, Trish.

Just be careful.

Look, I'm not saying what Jamie did was right,

and how he went about it.

But I do believe he was just trying to look out for you.

I'm Team Jamie.

Ew! I know. You're so Team Jamie.

[dramatic music]

[distant siren wailing]

[clattering]

Oh.

-Sup? -Hey.

[Jamie] Um, I was...I was just...I was just,

uh...I...I left something and then I was coming to get it.

Then I was...then I was gonna get it and then leave.

Okay, yeah. No, it's fine. Take your time.

Hey, Jamie.

Hey, Cara.

You guys need some time together because I can go?

Oh, girl, no, it's fine.

No. Yeah, you trippin'.

You...uh, I was just about to leave anyway, so.

And then I found it.

This what I was... what I was looking for.

That's the can opener your mom gave you?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

I thought you gave it to me.

I did.

But then, we're... uh...

Yeah.

[sighs]

I'm-I'm really sorry about how everything turned out.

I really wish I could take back everything I said.

Yeah, me too.

I haven't seen you in the office lately.

Oh, uh, yeah. I just been busy.

You know, just doing my thing.

Yeah, me too.

Just busy doing my thing too, stuff.

Yeah.

Oh, well, I, um... I'll probably just

see you later, anyway, or-or not.

Or if you'd... if you'd...all right.

Bye.

[dramatic music]

-[Kyle] I don't do that promise. -[Trisha] Yeah, same.

[laughter]

-[Kyle] I'm not a weirdo. -[Trisha] Uh-hmm.

[Kyle] Hmm, this is good.

[Trisha] Uh-hmm.

So, how long you two been friends?

Hmm, since grade school.

Yeah.

There was this kid. His name was Garren Harris.

Yeah, Garren Harris.

And he tried to kiss me in the third grade.

[laughs] I didn't want him to.

So Jamie beat him up,

got suspended from school for three days.

-What? -Ever since then,

he's always looked out for me, always had my back.

Uh-hmm.

Sounds like this Jamie dude is a real good friend.

Was a good friend.

Until recently.

Yeah? What happened?

[sighs]

He's just been acting really weird.

Following me and being... getting jealous.

Following me the other night I was out with you,

he said, he was trying to protect me.

Trish, I mean, I'm not trying to sound

crazy or anything,

but following somebody like that

in my profession is called stalking.

No, no, no. That's not...that's not him.

I know Jamie. He's just super overprotective.

Protective.

Do you think he followed you that night

that you were out with Jason Maxwell?

Hmm.

[knocks on door]

-Yeah, back him up. -[Jamie] Hey. Watch out, Kyle.

Jamie Dawson,

you're under arrest for the murder of Jason Maxwell.

That's crazy. I ain't kill nobody.

Y'all get up out of my house, man.

Anything you say and do will be used against you

in the court of law.

Cuff his ass.

Hey, better watch out.

Hey, man, get off me, bruh!

You in my house without no warrant.

Hey, man, what's up?

[Kyle] Actually, this time I do have a warrant.

Better play nice or I'll add resisting arrest

and assaulting an officer to your charges.

So what it's gonna be?

We're gonna do this the easy way or the hard way?

Trisha put you up to this?

Tell her she's dead to me.

Get his ass out of here.

[Jamie] My uncle is a judge.

I'll be out of here in two hours.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Jamie, please tell me you didn't do this.

They are gonna put you away for the murder of Jason Maxwell

if you don't start talking.

I know you didn't do this.

Why are you letting them think that you did?

I wouldn't even be in here if it wasn't for you.

What?

Oh, you think your little boyfriend

wasn't gonna jump at the opportunity

to tell me you turned me in?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I would never do that.

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

Kyle told me that you told him I followed you

the night Jason died, which made me the prime suspect.

It wasn't like that, Jamie.

Oh, then what was it like?

You two were just pillow talking and he assumed?

Jamie, you know that I would never hurt you.

But I will tell you this.

I like Kyle.

He's good to me.

And yes, we're dating.

But that has nothing to do with you being innocent.

So why don't you just tell them that you didn't follow me

so you can get out of here?

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Trish, I got to tell you something.

You're not gonna like it.

[Trisha] What?

I did follow you the night you went out with Jason.

What?

[Jamie] But I... I didn't hurt Jason.

I...I promise. I didn't do that.

Jamie, how am I supposed to believe that?

Because you know me, Trish.

-Do I? -[Jamie] Yes.

You know I would never hurt anybody.

Come on, this is me.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Trish! Trish!

Trish, don't... come on, you know I'm innocent.

I didn't do this.

Ugh!

[sighs]

What are you doing here, Jamie?

It's a long story, Unc.

[dramatic music]

[singer] ♪ Yeah

[Kelson] They are trying to charge you

with murdering Jason Maxwell.

Jamie, what the hell have you gotten yourself into, boy?

It was Trish.

I felt like she could've been in a little bit of trouble,

so I kind of followed her to her date.

[Kelson] In trouble?

What was the guy gonna shoot her with, a money gun?

Do you see how ridiculous you sound?

-Yes. -[Kelson] That's stalking!

I know. I know.

So Maxwell is murdered

and, um, they have you at the crime scene?

Not the crime scene. At the restaurant.

But I promise I didn't have nothing to do

with Jason Maxwell's murder.

The only reason why I was there is to protect Trish.

[scoffs]

Try explaining that to a jury.

So they think you killed this guy?

But what would have been your motive?

That's the thing.

I don't have one, because I didn't do it.

[sighs]

The only reason why I followed her is because

Trisha gets real vulnerable when she gets drunk

and I didn't want anything to happen to her.

So...because I'm the one that told her to go on a date,

so if something would've happened to her,

I would have never forgave myself.

-I got you. -[Jamie] I know it was stupid.

Calm down. Calm down. I got you, man.

I understand, okay?

But listen, the main thing is I believe you.

All right?

So I should be able to make a few phone calls

and get you cleared of all this madness, okay?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Now go home, get some rest,

and lay low for a couple of days until I call you.

Yes, sir.

One more thing, stay away from Trish.

It could be trouble if you don't.

-Got it? -Got it.

[Jasmine] Dawson got off.

[Kyle] What?

Judge Kelson said that there isn't enough evidence

to link Dawson to the crime.

But we got solid evidence placing him at the crime scene.

He was at the right place at the wrong time.

What is that... what does that mean?

Street camera show Maxwell

putting Trisha in a car at 11:40,

at the same time,

there is a camera showing Dawson's car across the street.

Trish pulls out, it's 11:41.

Dawson follows, almost tailgating.

[Kyle] Okay. So that means he was there.

So what does that mean?

Maxwell was seen in a parking garage at 11:45.

At the time, he was drugged.

So Dawson couldn't have been the one

that slipped Maxwell the poison.

And we don't know who that person was?

We have one eye witness,

but they could not identify the perp.

So you're telling me that we back to square one?

I guess so.

Get forensics on the line

and see if they can find any prints

or DNA in Maxwell's car

that's gonna link Dawson to that crime scene.

-We already checked that. -[Kyle] Well, check it again!

Okay? It's Dawson!

All right? We just have to prove it.

Now, get me a search warrant

so I can get inside of his house right now.

Got it.

[tense music]

[sniffs]

I bought this table...

10 years ago from a garage sale.

[chuckles]

The little old lady sold it to us for half off

because she said she liked your smile.

What are you doing in my apartment?

Our apartment.

And it's used to be our apartment.

Well, it's not anymore.

So what, you scared of me now?

You think I'm a murderer?

Answer me!

Stop it. You're scaring me.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm scaring you?

You sent me to jail.

Shouldn't I be scared of you?

Trish you ever think about how that made me feel?

You ever think about how I felt

when I found out you were following me?

Why didn't you just ask me why I was following you?

Why?

Remember when we were in college?

And it was your first sorority party.

You were so nervous.

You've never been to one before so you called me crying.

I ran over as fast as I could.

You asked me could I go with you,

but I was, like, you know, it was all-girl party so,

of course, I can't go with you.

You remember what I said?

You said that you'd walk with me and...

wait for me outside until I was ready to go.

Exactly!

I'd walk with you and wait for you outside.

And do you remember what happened that night?

Brian Chambers and his friends were outside waiting.

And you know what happened?

Okay. I get it.

No, you don't get the point.

Okay?

Brian Chambers was a guy that you trusted.

He was your boyfriend!

And because you wouldn't sleep with him,

he was gonna take him and his three friends

and they were gonna treat you like a piece of meat!

You would've never ever recovered

from that night, Trish,

if I wouldn't have been there to protect you.

Ever since then I just...

I promised to always protect you

from the Brian Chambers of the world,

because unlike me, every guy is a Brian Chambers!

I always wondered what happened to Brian Chambers.

I took care of Brian.

[gunshot]

[suspenseful music]

[Jamie] Sorry.

Look, I'm sorry.

I don't want your apology.

I just want you to know how I feel.

I'm in love with you.

I've been in love with you since we were 10.

I mean, haven't I been obvious enough?

Sorry. I just...I don't...I don't...

I just don't feel the same.

I know.

That's why I was just cool with being your best friend.

That's really why I'm here right now,

to warn you.

Kyle, he's another Brian Chambers, okay?

It just...that's a... he's a bad guy.

I just feel something in my gut about the dude.

Okay. Just stop!

I am smart enough to make my own decision.

I understand that.

And, yes, you are smart enough.

But when it comes to men,

you've never been able to see guys

for who they really are.

You are right about that,

because you're not who I thought you were either.

Trish, I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

-[Trisha] Stop. -It's okay. It's okay.

-It's-- -Stop!

[Jamie] [groans] Trish.

Come on.

Trish, come on. It's not that serious.

Trish. Come on. Trish! Trish!

[banging on door]

Jamie.

You must be out your damn mind

showing up at my place like this.

Don't you know I'm a officer of the law?

I don't care who you think you are.

I'm here to let you know

that you will need to stop seeing Trisha

if you knew what was good for you, bruh.

So are you threatening me now?

I don't make threats.

I speak facts.

And the fact that is, I know who you are, Kyle.

Yeah.

You're just like the rest of them.

I wanna let you know that I'll die first

before I let another man hurt Trish.

So you think I'm scared of you?

Huh?

Please.

Like I said, I'm the law.

You might wanna know

I got your little friend Trisha wrapped around my little finger.

So, you might wanna leave us the hell alone

before you end up in a situation

that your uncle won't even be able to dig you up out of.

Now that's a threat.

Now get your ass up off my property.

[suspenseful music]

[Jamie] Hey, Trish.

It's Jamie again for, like, the 20th time.

I just... I just wanna talk to you.

Sorry, okay?

Just please pick up or call me back.

Trish, please. Okay? I'm sorry.

Just call me back.

[gasping]

[phone dings]

[Trisha] Just stop, stop, stop.

[water gushing]

[suspenseful music]

[phone ringing]

[Kyle] Hey, baby.

-Hey. -[Jamie] What's up?

[Trisha] Nothing. Just bored. Just got out the shower.

What are you doing?

[Kyle] You know, work as usual.

But I'm getting closer to cracking this case though.

[Trisha] Yeah, that's good.

I really hope you get this guy.

[Kyle] Yeah. Me, too.

So, I took the liberty of washing the towels last night

because I knew you weren't going to.

Oh, my God.

I said that I'll do the laundry.

Okay? You do everything else.

The least I can do is that.

Yeah, but if I wouldn't have stepped in and saved you,

like I always do, then you wouldn't have this

nice fresh clean towel to dry off.

Uh-uh.

That's why I have one down here that...it's a pink towel that--

The pink one that I just used to dry off with this morning?

What?

See, that's why I'm about to get another roommate

because you're always taking my stuff.

You really think about getting another roommate?

Hmm.

I'm just... I'll just wash this one then.

That's my favorite towel and you know that.

I know it's your favorite towel. It's my favorite towel now, too.

-Uh-hmm. Hmm. -Hurry up and get dressed.

You're gonna make us late.

[Kyle] So you want me to come over?

[Trisha] I wish you could but I have a super morning.

So why don't you come over tomorrow

and we can order pizza

and just make it like a sleepover?

[Kyle] Hmm. I would love that.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then?

[Kyle] Okay. Tomorrow it is.

All right. Bye.

[suspenseful music]

[phone rings]

[Trisha] I just... I felt something.

[sigh]

And I tried... I tried to ignore it

but I heard the person's phone go off.

All right.

And you're sure you didn't get a look

at this person's face, right?

No.

By the time I came out of the room, they were gone.

I don't know. I felt like it was Jamie.

Jamie?

Wait, what makes you think that it was Jamie?

Because he just keeps calling me and calling me.

And then earlier I came home,

he was just here, just sitting there.

Hmm.

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm overreaching.

No, no, no, you... you're not overreaching, no.

Trust me, Jamie is a... he's a very interesting guy.

You know?

You know what, I can somebody from the department.

They'll put a tail on him.

Yeah, no, that way we'll be able to track his movement.

No, no, no, no. I don't wanna do that.

You sure?

Positive.

All right.

Thank you for coming over.

I really don't wanna be alone tonight.

No, no, no.

You shouldn't be alone tonight.

You know what, matter of fact,

why don't you come back with me to my place?

Stay with me.

I don't think it's safe for you to be here.

[dramatic music]

-[Kyle] Come on in, love. -[Trisha] Are we surfacing?

Make yourself at home.

Wow.

[suspenseful music]

[Trisha laughs]

Yeah, your place is fire.

[Kyle] Yeah? You like it?

Yes.

[Kyle] I designed it myself, you know.

I'm kind of into interior design, so...

[Trisha] Oh.

But, no, seriously,

I was thinking that you should probably stay with me

for a while, you know?

I don't think it's safe for you,

especially this dude still out there.

You know, with all that happened at your apartment tonight,

you know,

I just think you will be in danger

if you're alone.

Yeah, I'm, um... I'm okay with that.

Yeah?

Then it's settled.

Hmm.

So have you, um, talked to your boy, Jamie?

No. I have nothing to say to him.

You know I can't help but to think that

he's the one behind all this, right?

Look, there wasn't any proof. Okay?

He was released.

Just let him be.

He's not hurting anyone.

I understand all that, Trish.

But when my team goes over to his house

and if they find any find anything

linking him to this murder,

I'm just letting you know

he's going away for a long time, all right?

Can we just not talk about Jamie right now?

You're right.

We shouldn't be talking about Jamie.

We should be talking about you and me.

[sighs]

Yes, now that's something I can talk about.

Let's talk about it.

[dramatic music]

"Last night was amazing.

I had to work early. See you when I get home."

-[Cara] Girl. -[Trish] Girl.

You look refreshed this morning.

I feel good.

You gave the cop boyfriend some, didn't you?

[Trisha] Let's just say he gave me some, okay.

[Cara] Okay.

-Speaking of our team right now. -Yeah.

Hey, Trisha. Hey, Cara. How you guys doing?

I'd like for you to meet a good friend of mine, Doc Wynter.

Hey, Trisha, nice to meet you. Jamie's told me all about you.

-Good things I hope. -Oh, great things actually.

Oh, Doc is actually here to meet with us about our

"digital Costco" idea.

I told him we were the exact team he needed.

Yeah, it's actually perfect because we were thinking about

expanding at iHeart.

Wow. I...this is amazing.

Yes, we are the exact team that you need.

Well, I can't wait to hear the pitch.

I'm gonna have my office reach out and set up

-a meeting next week, okay? -Yes, so nice to meet you,

-Mr. Wynter. -Oh, it was nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you. Just call me Doc.

-Doc. -All right. Take care, my guy.

-This way. -[Doc] See you soon.

-All right, Doc. -[Doc] Take care man.

Doc Wynter's, well...

Hey.

[sighs]

-Listen, Jamie. -No, no, no. Let me.

Look, I'm really, really sorry about

everything that I've put you through.

I mean, you know, I was just being overprotective.

-I shouldn't have... -Yeah, I know that

you were just looking out for me.

Yeah. Yup, I've always just

wanted to keep you safe, you know.

I know. I know. And I'm safe.

Look, Kyle is a good guy and I really think...

I think he might be the one.

-[Jamie] Finally. -[gasps]

[both laughs]

Well, I'm happy for you.

So what's this mean for you?

Ah. Me, probably gonna get out of town for a bit, you know.

I think you all got it handled here.

Doc will take care of you, guys.

A friend of mine in The Bay, they want me to come out there

and turn up, so you know me, turn up king.

You do not have any friends and you don't turn up.

That's true.

Nah, I'm just, you know,

probably just gonna take a little vacation.

I got some money saved up.

And I'm always looking out for other people,

I think it's time I start looking out for myself.

I'm really happy for you, Jamie.

And please keep in touch.

We built this company together, and I can't run it without you.

Oh, I know you can't. That's why I'm gonna be back

soon to make, you know, make sure we figure out

our next moves.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

[dramatic music]

[telephone ringing]

[suspenseful music]

[intense music]

You know how long I've been waiting for this?

[laughs]

Wake up, Jamie.

You know, I almost thought I lost you there for a second.

-Kyle? -Yeah.

It's me, right?

Where am I at?

Where is Trisha at?

Oh, Trish. You see her?

Look over there. You see her?

[laughs]

But don't worry about that right now.

We'll get to all that in a moment, right?

First, I gotta ask you a very important question.

Do you remember a guy named Brian?

[Brian grunts]

[Jamie grunts]

Let me go!

Brian? No. What's that?

I don't...I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, come on.

Jamie, Jamie, you're a smart guy.

I know you remember Brian.

Listen to me, Brian Chambers!

Brian Chambers?

The same guy that tried to rape Trisha in college?

What does he have to do with any of this?

Jamie, allow me to re-introduce myself.

My name is Kyle, Officer Kyle Chambers.

Yeah.

Brian was my little brother, Jamie.

[panting]

[Jamie grunts]

[Kyle] It was five years ago, on this day,

that you killed my little brother.

Can you imagine the pain that I felt when I found him

laying on the floor?

Huh?

-Look at me! -[grunts]

-Look at me, dammit! -I'm sorry.

He took his last breath...

in my arms!

Not a day or a moment...

goes by that I don't think about my little brother.

Or wish that it was me, in that bed instead of him.

Or what I would have done

if that person would've tried to kill me!

Look...Brian was a bad dude.

He...him and his friends,

they was gonna take advantage of Trisha,

I couldn't let that happen to her, man.

I had to protect her.

Look, I didn't... I didn't mean to kill him.

I went over there and I just tried to scare him,

but he pulled a gun out on me, I had to protect myself, man.

-I didn't mean to do it! -I didn't mean to do it.

I had to protect myself.

Shut the hell up, Jamie!

Don't nobody believe that, man.

[clattering]

[Brian grunts]

[gunshot]

[Brian groaning]

[door closes]

But you know what?

It's okay now, 'cause I'm in control.

[chuckles] Calm down, Kyle. You got this.

Remember the big picture, okay?

[sighs] Focus.

I spent the last five years of my life

hunting you down.

The only reason I became a detective

is so that I could make this that much easier.

And when I found out that you and Ms. Little Trish

were living together, oh, boy!

[laughs] Do you understand the joy that I felt?

I can literally get to kill two birds with one stone.

[laughs]

[sighs]

If you're gonna kill me, just do it already.

I ain't got time to play games, man.

Maybe I deserve to die after what I did.

Oh, yeah.

Duh?

You definitely deserve to die.

And I'm glad that you realize that, but...

I'm not gonna kill you, Jamie.

No. That'll be too easy.

It's only fitting

that I had to watch my little brother

take his last breath

that I'll make you watch your little Trish take hers.

Just like in this picture.

Look at her.

I drew her myself. Isn't she beautiful?

I feel like I caught her essence.

What do you think? Hmm?

[laughs]

Boy! Talk about a full circle moment.

You touch Trisha and I'll promise you

I'll make sure you're buried right next to your brother!

Look at you with all that tough talk!

What you gonna do?

You're tied to a chair!

It's over, all right?

Calm down.

Just enjoy the ride,

'cause this is how it's gonna go down.

I'm sorry, bud. I gotta kill Trisha. Okay?

That's just how it goes.

And...but, no, here's the good part.

I'm gonna frame you for the murder.

[laughs]

Just like I did with old boy Jason Maxwell.

[suspenseful music]

-You killed Jason? -[gasps]

Boom. [laughs]

You should see your face!

Yeah.

I killed Jason.

[chuckles]

[Jason grunts]

[suspenseful music]

But you were gonna go down for his murder, too.

Once they find the vial of poison

that I left in your apartment.

I think we got something.

Yes.

Some type of liquid or something.

[Kyle] Yeah.

Now you see.

It's the same identical poison match

that was found in Jason's system.

Being the jealous overlooked best friend that you are,

you killed Jason when he started getting too close to Trisha.

Oh, and then when she started dating me,

oh, yeah, that just really sent your crazy ass

over the edge and you tried to kill us both.

But, after you attempted to kill her, I stopped you.

[chuckles]

Overpowered you and arrested you.

You see how this plan is perfectly coming in to play?

You are going to spend the rest of your life in jail.

Trish will spend the rest of her life

six feet in the ground.

And me? [laughs]

I'm gonna get a promotion, a raise,

awards, and all the praise.

You can't make a perfect revenge than this.

That is what you call

letting a plan come together, my boy.

[doorbell dings]

And just like that.

Trisha's here right on time.

[laughs]

The funny thing is, Jamie,

last night, I finally got the taste

what my brother was trying to get all along.

And let me tell you, hmm,

hmm, it was to die for.

[door opens]

[chuckles]

[suspenseful music]

-Hi. -Look at you, babe.

Look at you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We'll get into that later, okay?

-Okay. -I got a surprise for you.

-A surprise? -Yes, ma'am.

-[laughs] -So now, after you.

-Where is it? -Just make yourself at home.

-Okay. -Surprise.

You know, Kyle, you should really know

what you're doing before you try to tie up an Eagle Scout, bruh.

What the hell are you doing here, Jamie?

And what is he talking about?

Oh, oh, oh, your Kyle boyfriend didn't tell you, I guess?

Why won't you fill Trisha in on everything you told me upstairs

in your little creepy black room when you had me tied up, Kyle?

I don't even know why he's here.

-You know he's crazy. -Oh, [chuckles] I'm crazy?

Well, allow me to re-introduce you, Kyle Chambers.

Kyle Chambers?

[Jamie] Yeah.

Brian Chambers' older brother.

Yeah, Kyle. So why don't you tell her

how you killed Jason Maxwell

and you're gonna frame me for it?

And how you were gonna kill her and frame me for that

because she is the reason why your brother's dead!

What is he talking about?

-I don't even know what-- -Kyle, you need to tell me

what he's talking about right now

-before I call the police! -Trish--

Now!

Trish, you just need to shut the hell up, all right?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Old Jamie boy is right.

Brian was my little brother.

And, yes, it's your fault

that this asshole killed him.

And, yes, I killed Jason Maxwell.

Okay? And yes, I am gonna frame him for the murder.

Why? Because he deserves it!

He killed my brother!

What?

You killed Brian?

Tell me you didn't kill Brian.

I'm sorry, Trish.

-[cries] -It wasn't my fault.

It was an accident.

-I went over there to scare him. -No.

And he pulled a gun on me.

And we wrestled the gun, it went off,

-and it was an accident. -No, no, no, no.

I promise it was not my fault.

It was an accident?

It was a [...] accident?

[gasps]

-With this gun, right? -Stop!

It's this gun right here, right?

-Stop, stop. -[gunshots]

[intense music]

Jamie!

Kyle, stop!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

[siren wailing]

-Freeze! -Jasmine!

It's Jamie! He's the murderer!

Please do not make me do this.

I will shoot you. Drop your weapon.

Put your hands behind your back.

What are you doing?

You know exactly what I'm doing.

Get up!

You are under arrest for the murder of Jason Maxwell.

Jamie is the murderer!

Yes. I killed Jason Maxwell. Okay?

And yes, I am gonna frame him for the murder.

Yeah, I know everything, Kyle Chambers.

-Thanks, Jamie. Let's go! -Jasmine!

Let's go. You have the right to remain silent.

Anything that you say will be used against you.

Jamie. Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm good.

[indistinct] You're okay.

I'm here now.

You okay?

Never better.

Brian Chambers' brother, what are the odds, huh?

It's crazy, right?

I can't believe you killed Brian.

I told you it was an accident.

I was just trying to protect you.

I'm always gonna protect you, Trish, no matter what.

[dogs barking in distance]

Nephew, you know you have to do some time for this, right?

[Jamie] Uh-huh.

You got to turn yourself in.

Come on. Let's go.

[siren wailing]

[upbeat music]

[woman] [indistinct] get this.

-[woman] Oh. -[man] You know, I just--

-It's not. That's not it. -No? No?

-No. -Come on.

-Welcome home! -Aye!

-What's up? What's up, Cara? -You are missed!

-Aww, missed you all, too. -Aww.

Aye, I heard you've been holding it down.

Well, what can I say?

Congratulations on the promotion.

Thank you. I'm friends with the bosses.

[laughter]

Hey, man. You are the only man I know

that can close a deal from jail. How do you do it, man?

I got the best team ever.

[laughter]

-It was good seeing you all. -You, too, man. Welcome back.

-You, too. -All right.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, bestie.

Hey, bestie. [chuckles] Welcome home!

Oh, yeah. Feels good to be back.

It's good to see you after all this time.

You, too.

You know what I've been wanting to tell you?

It was kind of nice having a stalker.

[laughs]

It was like having my own personal bodyguard.

I mean, you could call me Whitney Houston.

[laughs] You crazy.

You know, I wasn't that bad.

All right. You had pictures of me at your house.

-I was a little obsessed. -Yeah.

All for a good reason though,

to keep a promise to a friend.

I'll always protect you.

I can live with that.

-[chuckles] -Get over here.

-Aye. -[laughs]

So good to see you. Let's celebrate.

-Let's celebrate. -You have to drink.

-I like to have a drink. -Yeah. [laughs]
