[woman grunting]

- The police have been notified and they're on their way.

- I got it from here Snow White.

[woman screaming]

- Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I'm up, I'm up.

I'm up, I'm up.

You're okay, you're okay.

You're fine.

Oh!

Oh, shhhh.

Sh.

- Good morning to you too.

- Oh.

Start right-

Start right after we finished the bottle.

That's the last thing that I remember.

Start there.

- We're both single.

Technically, there's nothing wrong with this.

- There is nothing right about this either, start talking!

- I was calling you to see how you were doing,

but you wouldn't pick up.

We all got worried, I live closest,

so I came over to check on you.

You were already working on that bottle when I got here.

And these two you opened up and we finished the first.

- Oh God.

Oh God.

- You okay?

- Ah, too soon to talk.

- I tried to get you to drink some water

last night before you fell asleep, but you.-

- An cooperative drunk, I am not.

- But you're a humorous one.

- Well there ain't nothing funny now.

- Meaning?

- Man, can't you see this is not good?

- I don't see a problem.

Like I said, we're both single.

- What do you mean?

I have Darryl and you have, look,

I don't even know,

- See, this is the problem with women right here.

You have to define everything.

To me, you're married or you're not.

And we're not so,

- Ah.

what we do is up to us.

- That is so easy for you to say.

You men mess up, we forgive you.

Darryl so much as smells this and he's gone.

- Now, would that be such a bad thing?

I mean, you really want a ring outta him?

- What?

Are you offering me one, hm?

- Well, no.

- Oh, no, but see.

But nothing.

Besides a ring isn't everything.

- Oh, come on Jay.

- No, seriously.

I think for me,

just the thought of being without him

is worse, that's all.

- I'm not telling you to leave him.

I'm just saying, why can't we explore this?

[Jay laughing]

- What?

I am not signing up

or enlisting for your rotation of women and characters.

- You wouldn't be that.

Not at all.

To me, you're different.

- Oh, you all say that.

- No, no, no.

You, I mean, we could

- I - make it-

- have everything to lose.

You have nothing to lose.

So you don't tell anybody.

- Who would I tell?

- I have no idea what you do in your daily life.

Whatever it is, that shit ain't regular.

[man laughing]

- True.

- True.

- Yeah, but aren't you the one who always said

that regular's overrated?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah when I'm the one who's being irregular.

I need the rest of you to be as predictable as possible.

Oh, hey, now, hey, whoa, whoa.

We don't allow that kind of thing.

- Haven't I earned a pass?

- No.

What time is it?

- You better get started.

They expect me to be late,

but not you.

[belt jingling]

A lot of bottles in there.

- [Jay] Don't you have somewhere to be?

- Think about what I said.

- [Jay] Nothing to think about.

- So.

- This was a mistake.

A fun one, but nevertheless,

a mistake.

- Well you can never really know how certain things end up.

- You do have your talents, but as it stands,

you can see yourself through the door.

- Okay.

- Question.

- Sure.

- Can I see your phone?

- Yeah.

What, you don't think I-

- I don't know what you did.

That's why I'm asking.

- Well, you should have a little more faith

in your fellow man.

- What does that mean?

- Exactly what I said.

- You didn't take pictures, did you?

- I would never do anything to hurt you.

- Jesus.

[Jay sighing]

[bottles rattling]

[pills dropping]

[toilet flushing]

[voices whispering]

[Jay moaning]

[voices warping]

[voices echoing]

Ready or not?

Here I come.

[Jay laughing]

- Hey!

You need me to get these impound reports sent off for you?

- No, that's all right.

I'll do it later.

- Okay.

Your file cabinet.

I know you need me to organize that for you,

so I'll go ahead and get started on that.

- What's going on with you?

Grab a seat.

[footsteps clacking]

- It's just, everybody's insane.

I feel like we're the only rational ones left.

- I know exactly what you're talking about.

Ugh.

I can't believe it's been three weeks since we buried him.

- Nothing is the same.

- Nothing.

- I mean, the only person

that's acting okay is Spengler.

I mean, does she really hate him that much?

I know they bicker, but geez.

- That's not that entirely.

- What?

- You know what?

I shouldn't say anything, it's not my business, so.

- Come on it's me.

- Spengler's had some personal troubles

that seem to have fixed themselves unexpectedly.

- What does that mean?

- Okay.

You know how she, over the past few months,

she's been acting more,

I don't even know what word- she use.

- Spenglerish.

- Yes, yes.

So I was waiting for Wheeler

outside of her chambers one day,

and I heard her talking on the phone

with her sister about some guy.

- A guy?

- Yes, this guy.

And she was telling her

that he wasn't harassing her anymore,

even though she wasn't giving him any more money.

- Money?

- Yeah.

I don't know.

I think it was one of those

online catfish type of things.

Love scams.

- Oh, Spengler?

- Yeah.

- Love scam?

No, she's too smart for that.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's got nothing to do with how smart you are.

Just how lonely.

- Well, thank God somebody's okay 'cause Judge Johnson.

Oof.

Oh, there's Spengler right there.

Gotcha.

Did you just shake?

- Go take your break.

- Not fun.

[keyboard clicking]

- Buckle up, she's in a bumpy place today.

- That, Jean, is not a secret.

- I'm still here.

- Jay?

Got a minute?

- What?

- I know we're not, well.

- Speak or leave.

- Can I sit?

- Can I stop you?

- Okay I'm not here to cause any trouble.

- Skip the disclaimers and just say what you have to say.

- Everyone is talking about you.

- And that concerns me because?

[haunting music]

[Jay kicking]

[paper spilling]

[Jay moaning]

- I see you're busy, Judge.

So you can just let me-

- Would you like to get up?

- I would.

[phone buzzing]

Let me let you get that.

[footsteps clacking]

- [Jean] Is everything okay in here?

- Yep.

[phone buzzing]

- Somebody's pretty intent on talking with you.

- Everybody's pretty intent on talking to me.

[phone buzzing]

- Shouldn't that thing go to voicemail by now anyway?

- I disabled voicemail.

I can't discern true intent with a voicemail.

- Okay?

Don't forget your meeting is in five minutes with the chief.

- Shit.

- [Jean] Yeah.

[papers rustling]

- I need those.

[footsteps clacking]

[papers falling]

- What is all of that anyway?

- Some proof.

Not the proof, but some proof.

- Proof of?

- [Jay] Jean?

- Yeah?

- Where's my briefcase?

Jean?

Where's my briefcase?

- [Jean] Let's find your briefcase.

- Jean, where's my briefcase?

- [Jean] I'm looking for your briefcase.

[phone ringing]

- Yeah?

Send her in.

[footsteps clicking]

- Judge, good to see you again.

- I don't believe you, but,

[folder slamming]

I appreciate the lie.

- Before you get started, you need to know,

we arrested someone in the murder

of Marjorie Palmer last night.

- Who?

- Homeless guy that hung around the church.

- Really?

- Black guy, early twenties.

Alcore Stevens.

- Alcore.

- They kicked me out.

I can't afford my meds and

they're coming for me.

- You've got the wrong guy.

- No, I'm afraid not.

He had an ongoing dispute with the pastor there.

The parishioners were complaining about him.

They kept kicking him out.

He threatened a lot of people there.

- Alcore is harmless.

- Known schizophrenic,

lots of contact with the law.

- All bullshit.

Trespassing, criminal mischief.

He's not your guy.

- He confessed Judge.

- Freely?

- I respect you and your position,

but you need to stick to your side of law enforcement

and let me handle mine.

- What about Alexis and Gina?

- We're looking at a few people.

- Whoever they are, if they're not Larry Still,

then you are looking in the wrong place.

- Judge, I've listened to you twice before.

I understand your theory.

I understand how you feel about him,

but there's not enough facts to support it.

Do you have anything new, judge?

- A few things you see.

[papers rustling]

- Can't you just tell me?

- It's complicated.

You have to actually look.

Look.

- Tell you what,

just leave this here with me.

- Oh.

- You gotta have all this in a hard drive somewhere.

- You're not gonna actually look,

you're not gonna read these.

- Sure I will.

- Forget it.

[papers rustling]

Will you at least please

take another look at Marjorie Palmer.

Alcore Stevens is not your guy.

He's just an easy target because he's black and crazy.

- Judge, as I said.

Talk about black and crazy, Jesus Christ.

[dramatic music]

[footsteps clacking]

[voices echoing]

- [Voice] By yourself in your head.

- Jean, who's next?

- Belinda Crowder.

- Mm.

Tell her sister Shaquita to come up here with her too.

- Her sister.

- Yes, Shaquita and Belinda Crowder.

They're here on the same charges for the same incident.

- Oh, here you are, Judge.

- Thank you.

- Calling case number GE47693:

Crowder versus the city of Pittsburgh.

Shaquita, please approach the bench also.

- Stop talking to me, stop talking to me.

What you looking at?

- [Shaquita] Stop.

- Mm, don't get comfortable now.

Come on up here.

And watch how you swing my door please.

Ladies, you two are here for sentencing

on one count each of aggravated assault

and aggravated menacing.

Now I've had a chance to read your pre-sentencing report.

Is there anything that either one of you would like to say?

- What for?

You already made up your mind, so.

- Oh.

Okay, well I have an idea,

but I can always be persuaded.

- Just get on with it.

- Oh.

You don't wanna miss your last opportunity

to have input now do you?

- I'm not gonna beg or apologize.

- Belinda.

- I'm not gonna apologize.

- Don't worry.

I won't hold that against either one of you.

- Your Honor, she just upset.

- Isn't she always though?

Hmm?

You know what your arrest record

tells me about you, Ms. Belinda Crowder?

That you don't know how to use your words.

You have eight assault related priors.

Now the first three are with the Jeffrey Randolph Smith,

who was probably a bad idea, masquerading as a boyfriend.

Two with your sister Shaquita here,

and then the other three flying dolo.

Now your sister Shaquita here on the other hand,

doesn't have any other charges

aside from the two that she has fooling around with you.

You're going home.

And you, you're doing 30 days.

- Ain't this about a bitch?

I go to your son's class,

gonna help his teacher.

But you going home and I'm going to jail.

Ain't this my wholesale all day bitch.

[gavel knocking]

- Jean, Jean.

- Officer Lee. - Fucked up.

Fuck you.

- Yeah.

- Yeah fuck you.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

- Just calm down before you get more time.

- 30 days?

- You gonna get more time, shut up.

- Look at me and Shaquita.

You're not innocent, you're just lucky today.

This whole situation tells me

that you don't know how to use your words either.

When you called your sister,

you knew exactly what she was gonna do.

'Cause you and your sister like to throw hands, right?

Y'all enable each other.

- Not normally.

- You are a black mother raising a black son.

Do you understand that responsibility?

- Yes ma'am.

- Do better because you ain't gonna get another chance.

Not in this courtroom.

You're welcome.

- I'm gonna get you to pull tomorrow's from the child docket

I have to See Randolph Beckett Tyson at four.

- Okay, Judge, Judge, Judge.

Hang on a second, I gotta write all this down.

- Jean these are for you.

- Okay, great.

- [Judge] Grimes.

- Hey Judge.

- Oh, Jay.

Oh, you wanna finish talking about the housing program?

- Housing, really?

- Don't let me stop you.

- I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say.

You want me to do it out here?

- Thank you Jean.

- Andrew, fuck off.

What is up with you?

- What do you mean?

- We are adults.

- Still not with you.

- You're behaving like a kid, avoiding me.

Snarky remarks when we're in the same room together.

What are you doing?

- I told you that it was a one and done,

but you keep pushing it.

- Not in front of other people.

- That's right, you harass me in private.

- I'm not harassing.

I'm courting.

- Courting when a woman says no is harassment.

- You see, that's the problem right there

with the young and the woke.

You've removed all the intrigue

and romance out of the pleasures of the world.

- Don't you touch me.

- What's with the hostility?

You do remember what happened.

- I remember telling you that it was a one and done.

I remember that.

- You can't tell me you don't have thoughts

of a repeat visit.

- None.

- I don't believe you.

- Yeah well, that's the beauty of it.

You don't need to.

All that you need to know is that I said no.

And the problem starts when you don't respect what I say.

- Women protest all the time.

It's a game.

- Do I look like I'm playing with you?

- Always.

[footsteps clacking]

[door slamming]

[glass crashing]

- What are you doing down here, Lily?

Haven't you caused enough trouble?

- I don't know why you're so mad.

As usual they didn't believe me.

They never believe me.

- Would you like to see what you've done?

- No.

- Sure you do.

- Larry.

I'm done with the court thing.

Remember Mom said you have to look after me.

Even Frank said that.

- Ah.

But at the end of the day, Lily,

what does that even mean?

- What does what even mean?

- Taking care of somebody.

Sometimes it's even necessary to destroy the body.

To save the soul.

Would you like to know what's in the basement?

- No.

- Oh, I think you should.

After all, if it wasn't for you,

I never would've found my higher purpose.

First time you took me to court and there she was.

Ruth Spengler fat and arrogant.

She's to be my greatest step in the realignment.

And that's all thanks to you.

I really think you deserve to see what's in the basement.

- No, no.

I won't cause anymore troub-

Larry, I don't, please.

- [Larry] Come on.

- Don't, no, please don't take me.

- Yo D, somebody here to see you, man.

- Just a second.

Fuck.

What brings you here?

- I'm worried about Jay.

I want you to talk to her.

- What makes you think she's still talking to me?

- Not at all?

- Not anymore.

She holler every once in a while

until a couple of weeks ago,

she sent me this long bizarre text saying,

stay away from her and stop messing with her.

After that, she doesn't answer nothing coming from me.

- Didn't that concern you?

I mean, don't you think that was odd?

- Everything she does is odd.

Quietest kept, y'all whole family crazy.

- It's been three weeks since Graves's funeral,

and she's gotten more and more manic.

I think she's off her meds.

- She always playing fast and loose with those things.

- No, this time is different.

I think she stopped taking all of them.

- She wouldn't just stop taking all of them.

Jay would taper off.

- Exactly!

I'm worried.

- So what do you want me to do?

She's not talking to me

Because you told her not to.

- Have you tried?

- You know, despite what you think,

I really love your daughter.

- Is that supposed to be a yes?

- Every day, Yvonne, I text her.

- And?

What does she say?

- Like I said.

Couple weeks ago, she accused me of stalking her.

Now she answers nothing.

Look.

- That didn't alarm you.

- Why do you think she stopped taking them?

- A few weeks ago, she called me sobbing uncontrollably,

talking about somebody was after her.

Then all of a sudden she stopped talking to me.

Wouldn't even open the door when I went by there.

Nothing.

I thought the calls were bad.

She's not talking to anybody.

Not to me.

Not to her father.

Nobody.

Graves is gone.

And you know how she felt about him.

If she's not talking to us,

who do you think she's talking to.

- Herself?

- Yeah.

And that's nobody she needs to be listening to.

I want you to call her.

- For what?

So she can start some mess with me

for some shit you fed her?

- And they call us the weaker sex.

But you know what?

I get it.

I don't expect you to want to do me a solid,

but no matter what I did to you,

I expect you to do the right thing,

the right thing, Darryl.

You say you love her, right?

- Heyo, Basic Bitch.

- [Crime Show Host] He created this imaginary world.

But it only existed in his mind.

And in this world,

he felt like he was actually saving her

from her past, her vices, her flaws.

So usually in cases of this nature, we find that some type.

- Of trauma. - Bitch, niggas

is that shit I don't like.

- [Crime Show Host] Or, whether it be

abuse or neglectful parents,

these people generally do not feel

in control of their own thoughts and actions.

So they feel the need to control others.

So then they develop this God complex,

with this false entitlement to judge.

In this particular case, this perpetrator,

he needed control.

That was his main objective.

He needed his victim to feel afraid.

And the only thing that saved Alison Peters

was her refusal to show that fear.

So what Ms. Peters did was she kept him

off balance with all these unexpected responses.

Then she would gauge when he became more agitated

and less in control.

She spent her time figuring out what made him angry,

what soothed him.

And then she adapted.

She continued to do the unexpected to buy herself time.

So what she did here was pretty impressive.

She purported to be interested in his motive.

And that kept him talking about his goal.

That redirection probably was the only thing in the world

that distracted this man from her.

- I'm gonna be ready. - [Crime Show Host] So what we typically find

with these type of personalities,

always see their intent is righteous.

and their decisions as a justified means to an end

[water splashing]

[door sliding]

[cellphone buzzing]

- Are you gonna answer that?

Baby it's not that big a deal.

- Do I look like I want to talk?

Even though I have never heard it happen to you before.

[door opens]

[water splashing]

[toilet flushing]

- You gonna wash your hands?

- Oh, now you wanna be hygienic?

- Where are you going?

- Home.

The only thing hard in here tonight is on the drive.

- Once you leave.

- Once I leave, what?

Huh?

You think I burned down your house, and I'm still here.

Your threats for me to go and not come back ring hollow.

- Things can change.

And not for nothing, you did burn down my house.

- Send me to jail if you really believe that.

Oh, that's right.

You can't say anything

about who might have burned down your house,

Which again, I say was not me, your Honor,

without exposing your soft white underbelly.

- We are two consenting adults here.

- Your problem isn't the law.

It's the voting public.

They can't know who you really are.

And I saw your file.

- What?

- Undeclared, is that what we're calling her now?

Just, God, Darryl, you don't stand a fucking chance.

- You'd be surprised.

- Oh, keep thinking that.

[door sliding]

Hi, this is Denise Wang.
