- Yeah, well we're closing at 8:00 tonight.

- Oh, well, I ain't gonna be but a minute.

Hey, where can I find those, uh, pecan pies?

You know, the small ones you can eat with two bites?

Two big ass bites, that is. (chuckles)

- Uh, probably over there by the pastries.

But you gotta h-hurry it up, sir, please.

- Hey.

You gonna keep ignoring me?

- Please, stop. - What'd I do?

- Don't come hollering at me on this bus.

I've had a long day and I don't wanna make any new friends.

- You don't even know what I was gonna say.

- Hey, ma, why you so sad? Where your man at?

- Ain't nobody can hit you like that.

- Okay, really? What was you gonna say then?

- Your name is Jodi Jackson. We went to Woods together.

I sat behind you in Ms. Haskins' class.

- Eddie. - Eddie. Yeah, that's right.

- Aw, man.

I remember you.

You used to sell candy in homeroom making crazy money.

I remember you used to put them coolers

in the expelled kid's lockers

to keep them sodas you were selling cold.

- You can't forget about the hot chili Fritos too.

- I remember those. I ain't forget.

Hey, how'd you manage to do all that, anyway?

I always wondered.

- You know, Mr. Freesman,

he used to let me use his microwave, like,

10 minutes before class got out,

so I could heat up the chili and shit,

as long as I kept my grades up.

- Did you?

- Yeah, but my mom always wondered

how the only class I ever managed to pass was trigonometry.

Look, you dangle a dollar in front of a hustler's face,

I guarantee you he will put in the effort to grab it.

Bought my first car with that hot chili Frito money.

- That's crazy. (laughs)

- Can I buy you a piece of pie?

(bright upbeat music)

So what do you do for a living?

- I work at a gas...

No, sorry. Um, I'm a singer and an actress.

- Singer and an actress. - [Jodi] Mm-hm.

- Why are you sorry?

- It's just, I always used to say singer and actress,

but I've been working at that gas station for so long,

I'm starting to forget who I am.

- That's a shame.

Um, you wanna sing me a song then?

- No chance. - Why not?

- I'm not gonna sing to you in the middle of a diner.

I wanna act in a Disney movie, not live out one.

- Well, hey, but isn't that the entire point

of, like, being an actor?

You're supposed to, like,

become the character, right?

Go ahead.

- Can we please talk about something else?

I sit and think all day about how I'm wasting away

at a gas station, and the last thing I wanna do

is talk about it over pie.

- Fair enough. Sorry.

- So what do you do for a living?

- I'm a crook.

- [Jodi] My god, that's more money than I make in a week.

- Yeah?

Now that I've shown you what I do,

I think it's time I hear them pipes.

- Oh, Eddie. Come on.

- Unless you just want me to go down to the gas station

and see what you get on there instead.

- You still got the studio in the back?

(Romeo laughs)

- You dead ass.

- Yeah, I'm dead ass. What do you mean, bro?

- Eddie, you owe me money, Eddie.

- No, come on. Stop.

- [Romeo] Stop? - Stop.

It's not funny.

- He's broke. - Stop.

He's totally- - [Romeo] Broke as fuck.

- I'm not, I have it. You know, I'm, I'm good.

- [Romeo] Look at what he wearing.

(cash rustling)

(muffled upbeat music)

- Man, look, bro. Studio need work, all right?

Give me the money. We can fix it and you can lay a track.

- Oh, you want my money to fix your studio?

How do I know you're not just gonna take it

and run away with it and then never talk to me?

- 'Cause you in the deficit with my ass in the first place.

How the fuck am I going off with someone's money?

- You're right.

Use it for the song

and not for another fake tracksuit from Ross, please.

- Who's that there? - That's Jodi.

- Cinnamon. It's my stage name.

- I like her.

- I'm sure you do.

You should put them teeth away

and go back inside, all right?

(bright gentle music)

So where'd you get Cinnamon from?

- When I was a kid, my mom made me French toast,

and she put cumin on it instead of cinnamon.

I'm allergic to cumin,

so my face swelled up and my throat closed.

- Damn.

- So this one day, a woman brings churros to class,

and these kids just look so happy

sucking their fingers and shit.

And I think to myself, "I'm just gonna try one."

So I pull a stick off of my classmates' plate,

pop it in my mouth and all the kids just start

oo-ing and aah-ing, and nothing happened.

- So then why'd you pick the name?

- I realized that is the most fearless I've ever been.

So when I think of my singing name,

I think of an alter ego

or part of me that's fearless.

- That is so fucking dope.

- Hey. This is good, hmm?

(bright upbeat music)

- You got my change?

- Nigga, what change?

- This, this don't look like a $500 renovation, Romeo.

- You cheap motherfucker.

- I'm cheap? - Yes.

- You got soda fucking bottles on the wall.

- Craigslist cheap.

- This is what $500 got you?

- Yes. (Jodi clears throat)

(bright upbeat music)

- You don't gotta point, yo.

- I wanted to. - She sees me.

- Cinnamon, so I heard you got the song wrote.

Let's hook it up and maybe

we can figure out our tempo.

- Right, so I've never really done this before,

um, but I love music.

you start thinking too hard about what's coming next,

you start looking for shit that ain't really there, right?

- That's kind of a long shot, huh?

- Do you believe in your music?

- Oh, come on.

- Look, I've been thinking about it, right?

$500 for gas to get out to LA in the tip top car.

I could probably find something for, like, three grand.

Used, of course. But that's no problem.

Uh, once we get out there,

find, like, a really cheap apartment right outside the city.

Maybe get some new clothes.

So, like, once we start dealing with the big wigs,

we look the part.

Give it a year. I figure we could do it for, like, 30 grand.

- Hey, Jodi, we're docking your pay this week.

Your cigarette count was off.

- Eddie. I ain't got no money.

- Uh, yeah, I know.

What I'm telling you is I'm your manager.

- You gonna be my manager? - Yeah.

So I'm gonna manage to find you $30,000.

What do you think? (gentle bright music)

- Okay.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Yes. - Yeah?

(pedestrian groans) - Hey.

Watch where the fuck you're going.

- If you were worrying about this scar making you look ugly,

I just wanted you to know that you were always ugly,

and this might even make you look better.

- Yeah? - [Jodi] Mm-hmm.

- Jodi...

We're broker than when we started.

Maybe you need a new manager.

- I can't stay here for the rest of my life.

I have had this feeling inside me

that I am supposed to be doing something,

and they tell you work hard,

and it'll happen for you.

And it is, it's not happening.

- We're gonna figure it out, okay?

(gentle somber music)

- [Jodi] Hey, Eddie. - Yeah?

- What if we could get it all in one go?

- No. Too much risk involving money that big.

- What if there wasn't any risk?

After all this, we could just go to LA,

and you never have to put your neck out again.

- After what?

- There's a lot of money coming in and out

of the gas station.

And the cash just piles up on the floor in the safe.

Wally usually leaves the door unlocked

so I can let the armed trucks pick it up.

- Armored truck coming at 12:15 for pickup.

Lock that motherfucker up.

- How much money are we talking about?

- At least 50K.

(tense suspenseful music)

(gun clicks) - Look at me.

- Eddie, you look ridiculous.

- The safe, bitch.

Give me the money. (Jodi sobs)

Hey, look at me. Don't move.

I want you to bend down.

Look, Jodi, I just don't wanna think about it.

- I have to go to work tomorrow.

- What? - Well, they told me to.

If I don't go back they gonna think something's up.

We'll leave after. - Jodi.

- I, I'll tell them I can't work there anymore,

and I'm too afraid to go back.

- You think they're gonna believe you?

- I'm not acting anymore.

- Lord, have mercy.

- Man. Look at that shirt you wearing.

That shit is coldblooded.

You out here looking like Don Johnson, Sonny Crockett,

"Miami Vice" on his day off up in this motherfucker.

(chuckles) Pin-stripe collar, gold cuff links.

Goddamn, boy, you look good.

- What can I say, baby?

- You ain't gotta say shit.

The clothes are speaking for themselves, man.

You done really came up in this world.

How you afford that shirt?

- Business is good, James.

You see, what I'm creating here is something special.

I'm tired of walking into these Black-owned businesses

around here and waiting three times the length to get served

as I do in them white neighborhoods.

People like that. That's right.

Upstanding Black-owned businesses.

Shit, they damn near pay for itself.

- Well, I didn't ask you how you plan on rebuilding

the ghetto one used car dealership at a time.

I asked you how you afford that shirt.

See, you were around about four years ago.

Remember you came to me and my mother asking for some money

on the partnership to start that gas station?

So we took our 49% ownership and you got your 51%.

Fast forward about two years.

You were so hard up on money,

I ain't know if you was going to make it, nigga.

But we helped you out.

Took that 2% off your hands and business been going steady.

- That's right. - But see...

That's just the word. Steady.

I guess what I'm wondering is

how you making out like a bandit up in this motherfucker?

To start a business like this,

nigga need to have a little more money

than you're making at that gas station.

I assume I know what you make since I read your books.

Unless them books is wrong.

- Are you accusing me

of stealing from the gas station, James?

- No, nigga.

But I'd be a lying son of a bitch

if I said I wasn't suspicious.

So as your business partner

of your not so successful venture, I have to ask,

how'd you manage to get the money for all this?

- Can you keep a secret?

- Sure, why not? (tense suspenseful music)

- Well, my girl Heather out there, she paid for it.

- I must be crazy.

Don't Heather work at the gas station during the day

and moonlight as a stripper out at the Rumpus Room?

- Occasionally.

- Don't exactly sound like Mark Cuban to me, nigga.

- Well, if you must know- - I must.

- Heather grandmother passed away about a year ago.

- Uh-huh.

- And you may not be able to look at it and tell,

but that family blue blooded than a motherfucker.

- No way.

- And she was her grandma favorite.

Left her $120,000 cold hard cash in a safety deposit box.

Well, Heather, she ain't know what to do with it.

So Wally say what? - What Wally say?

- Let's invest it. - Oh.

- And voila, nigga. (chuckles)

- (laughing) Hot damn, Wally.

You got yourself a good woman there.

- And don't I know it.

- I might have to get me one of them white girls.

I've always had issue with being with one, though.

Guess it's the side of myself I hate.

You know my daddy was a white man?

Raped my mother at 13 and left her with me, though.

- So you saying all white men are evil?

- Well, it ain't just that he raped her.

He went on ahead and smacked her so hard in both her ears,

he made her deaf.

Could have just killed her instead.

But that ain't what the white man does.

See the white man, like a dog,

like to defecate on people and leave his mark.

I guess after that,

I kind of had a hatred towards white people.

But you making me feel

like the pussy on their women must be different.

- Nigga, you ain't been with no white woman?

- Oh, no, I haven't. (chuckles)

Shit, turned down a few. (laughs)

Well, congratulations

on your wonderful endeavor, Mr. Superfly.

TNT. - Thank you, my brother.

- Before I go, let me ask you one more thing.

You see Mama, you know she loved you, right?

- I love Mama.

- Well, she wanted me to ask since you're doing so well

with this and all,

why don't you go on ahead and sell back the rest

of your shares in the gas station?

Now you might be thinking,

"Why on earth would I sell my shares

in a thriving business?"

Well, you got this one that's doing so well.

And if for some reason I, I know you wouldn't,

but if for some reason

you ain't telling me and Mama something,

we might just let that go.

- This is less than half the shares

I still got in that gas station, James.

(tense suspenseful music) - Oh, yeah.

I guess you right.

(Wally sighs)

- You go and take that check

and shove it up your motherfucking ass, James.

- Wally!

That money done made you a rude motherfucker, man.

(James chuckles)

All right. I tried.

Guess I'll see you on the other side, nigga.

- Bang, bang.

that you had something to do with that robbery last night.

- (scoffs) Oh, come on, James.

I lost money in that shit too, matter of fact.

Besides the, the insurance going to take care of everything.

(gunshot blasts) (Heather screams)

Oh, shit. (Heather screams)

- Fuck the money, nigga. My drop got ripped off.

That was three kilos of pure cocaine

in that fucking bag my brother had.

Now I don't know who the mystery nigga was that did the job,

but we gonna fucking find out.

Now I wanna see surveillance tapes now,

or your bitch's head getting blown off.

- Okay, (stammers) I'm gonna do whatever you ask me to do.

But all I ask you to do is just consider for a moment

that maybe, just maybe you got this all wrong, James.

So why don't we just let my Heather go, huh?

She ain't got nothing to do with this.

(chair thuds) (Heather screams)

(tense menacing music)

(tense menacing music continues)

(Heather screams) It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right. Don't worry, baby.

James, what them eyes mean?

- [James] Shut the fuck up.

(door thuds) (Heather whimpers)

(Heather screams) (gunshots boom)

- Come on, James. Let me, let me sit in the back seat, man.

James, it's getting dark, man.

(tense suspenseful music)

(muffled voice speaking)

- Yo, can I get my cigarettes?

(tense ominous music)

- It's hard to breathe in there, man.

- [James] Shut the fuck up.

(tense ominous music continues)

- Hey, hey, hey. Your name's Jodi, right?

- Yes. - Well, listen, Jodi.

My name's Ernest.

I'm actually part owner of this here business.

Now last night, talk to me,

did you see anything, hear anything that, you know,

help us figure out who did this?

- Um, uh, no.

I, it happened so fast, I didn't have time to see anything.

- Yeah, ah, I get that. I get that.

Uh, listen, Jodi, we about to go back here in this office

and conduct some business, all right?

I'm gonna need for you to shut your ears off

for next couple hours.

- Oh, wow. Okay, thank you.

- [Ernest] You digging what I'm putting down?

- I meant I, I won't hear anything, sir.

(tense ominous music)

- Cool breeze.

- Let's try wallygotacar.

- How do you not know the password for this shit?

- Well, I ain't never had to go back and look at nothing.

So I never thought I had to look it up.

- Ernest, how much we spent on this system?

- $20,000. - $20,000.

And you ain't think to write the password

on a sticky note on the back of this desk

when the man installed it?

Fuck, nigga. Now I gotta call him.

- I'm gonna go fill up the car.

(gentle suspenseful music)

(scanner buzzes)

(scanner buzzes)

Jodi, my card's not working out there on pump two.

- Oh, pump two only accepts cash.

Two and four don't take card transactions.

- Well, how long has it been like that?

- Since I started working here. So basically a year.

- Okay, got it.

(keys clacking) Got it.

- The password...

Was password. - Duh.

- [James] Why didn't you tell me that shit then?

- I didn't, I, it slipped my mind.

- I'll do this shit.

(Ernest snaps) (tense ominous music)

- Why don't y'all let me in on the joke?

Nigga, what the...

(knife scrapes) (knife bangs)

(screaming) Mama!

(Wally moaning)

- That how he do it?

- Pumps two and four. They're cash only.

Jodi, how much is a gallon of gas out there?

- 2.85.

- Give me $4.27 on, uh, pump two.

Plus they're rigged to pump out 20 cents a gallon

less than they're supposed to.

(tense ominous music) Motherfucker.

He's been lying to the Department of Weights and Measures.

(Wally moaning)

More importantly, he's been lying to us.

(Wally sobbing)

- So how much you think he's making

on those two pumps altogether?

- At least $48 an hour.

Now you talking high traffic on a 12 hour day,

over four grand a week in cash.

(Wally groans)

- Guess we figured out

who Heather's grandmother is now, huh?

(Wally screams and moans)

(chair thuds)

(scoffs) This nigga done fainted.

- Worry about him later.

Let's look at the surveillance video.

(knife scrapes)

Now the po-po said it happened around, uh, 11:58 PM.

Right there.

(keys clacking) (tape reel garbles)

(tense ominous music)

(punch thuds) (Jodi whimpers)

(Ernest grunting)

(tense suspenseful music)

(Wally shrieking) (spray blasting)

(Mama whimpering)

(tense menacing music)

(kick thuds)

(door thudding)

(tires screeching)

(Jodi grunting) (door thudding)

(Ernest shouting) (door thuds)

Shit!

(dramatic ominous music)

(doors clanging)

(dramatic ominous music) (tires screeching)

Look, Mama. We got ourselves a little daughter.

(rope whooshing) (Jodi thuds)

I got ya.

(Wally thuds) (phone buzzes)

- Yeah, Leroy, I can't talk right now.

- [Leroy] Now, hold on, James, baby.

Now you know that Camry I was selling?

- Look, man, now's not a good time.

- [Leroy] Hold on, boy. You know that Camry?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it.

I know it. What's up?

- Well, I had a fella come by around 2:00 PM to buy it.

- [James] All right, well I'm happy you got rid of it.

- Well, the boy paid me with some mixed bills.

Now I noticed that one of them bills

had a little blood on it.

(bright energetic music)

- Uh-huh.

- And I know that you boys got robbed last night,

so I figured that maybe, uh, they's connected.

Now the fella said that he leaving town.

- How old is he?

- Uh, probably early 20s.

- [James] He have long hair?

- [Leroy] Short hair.

- [James] Short hair. How short, buzzed?

- No, not that short.

And he had a, uh, scar over his eye.

- Scar. He a nigga?

- Nah, nah, nah, nah. Puerto Rican.

(tense suspenseful music)

- Puerto Rican?

He leave an address on the bill of sale?

- [Leroy] Sure did. (chuckles)

I, I'll sent it over to you.

- All right. Thanks.

85 South Victorian.

I bet that's where my drugs are and my motherfucking money.

(Jodi gasping)

Hey, Wally. This girl got a boyfriend?

(Wally groans)

What race is he?

- Mexican.

- Close enough.

I figure y'all two planned this together.

What? Wally told you about the drop?

- Uh-uh, uh-uh, no.

- Why the fuck are you looking at him? Look at me.

So if you tell me the truth,

I might just kill the Puerto Rican and let you live.

How that sound? Hmm?

(Jodi whimpering) Hmm?

That sound like we can make a deal?

(Jodi whimpering)

Okay.

I'll let Mama decide.

(tense suspenseful music)

(dramatic menacing music)

You know, Wally...

We've been through some shit together, ain't we?

(chuckles) Yeah.

Now I think you are gonna sell me

the rest of your shares in that gas station.

- (chuckles) All right, let's negotiate.

(gunshots blast)

(tense menacing music)

- [James] I'm gonna put the body in his car,

drop it in the lake after I go over to lover boy's house

and get our shit back and blow his fucking brains out.

You take Mama to the cabin. (Jodi whimpers)

If I get to his place and this boy ain't got our shit,

I want you to treat this bitch like a POW.

Torture the shit out of her.

- [Ernest] Cool breeze.

(tense somber music)

(phone buzzes) - Yo, Romeo.

I'm in a rush right now. Lemme call you from the road?

- All right, all right. Look, look, just listen real quick.

All right? Look.

Got a little road gift for you and the misses, okay?

Do me a favor.

Set your alarm for 5:00 AM,

and tune in to 98.7 FM.

- You got our song on the radio?

- (chuckles) Yeah, boy.

Look, I had a DJ listen to a couple of her joints.

He gonna play "Star Baby" on the show.

- [Eddie] What's that?

- (laughs) That's a new joint Jodi and I cooked up.

I think you're gonna like it.

Good luck in Cali, man.

- [Eddie] Brother, thank you.

(gun clicks)

- I implore you, nigga, do not move a muscle.

Now I know you the nigga who killed my brother Barney.

- I don't know no Barney.

- The nigga you shot last night.

He had a name, and it was Barney. He was my brother.

Now I'm gonna give it to you straight.

Your ass finna die right now.

Ain't no way to get around due diligence.

But young man, if you tell me where my drugs are

and where my money is,

I may let your bitch live.

(tense menacing music)

Oh, the motherfucker's in love. (laughs)

The jig is up, motherfucker. Where is it?

Don't even.

Where is it?

(tense suspenseful music)

(gun scrapes) (gun shot blasts)

(glass shatters) (Eddie thuds)

(tense somber music)

(phone buzzes) - Hello?

- Man, there wasn't shit in that box but fucking calories.

- What do you mean? - I don't get it.

Box was marked with an X, just like we said.

Wasn't even open.

But I got all the money back.

I'm heading back over to the house.

Girl must know something.

(tense ominous music)

- Oh, shit. You threw up all in my shit.

Goddamn it.

Still don't know what happened to our drugs, though.

You gonna tell us what happened to 'em?

- Sir, I don't know nothing. (sniffling)

- Back up towards me.

(Jodi whimpering)

Now I'm gonna tell you like this right here, Jodi.

You're probably wondering

why she's just staring at your ass.

It's all about communication.

You see, Mama late deaf.

That is to say she ain't born deaf.

Yeah, she went deaf a little later on in life.

See, when people born deaf,

they can't quite conceptualize words

coming outta motherfucker's mouth.

But folks like Mama, well, she knew what you just said.

'Cause she can kind of read your lips.

You know, having communicated like that

for the first half of her life.

Mm-hmm, she talks too.

Well, she only do when she real mad.

(laughs) Trust me, I know it.

So why is she just sitting there staring at your narrow ass?

Well it's because what you just said

was not what she wanted to hear.

(Jodi gasping)

- Sir, I don't- - Shut up!

I wasn't done communicating.

There's so much talk that, that Mama can't see.

So that's why she relies on me to tell her things

that are definite, okay?

That's why we sign, baby.

So when I tell her something using my hands,

it's set in stone.

Okay? All right? (Jodi panting)

Come on baby, girl.

Help me give Mama a definitive answer.

- Sir, I don't know nothing.

- That's what you want me to tell her?

(scoffs) Okay, then.

Oh, shit. Whoo.

She said, uh, she want you to go outside

and get her switch off that tree

and bring it back here to her.

- Sir, please, I didn't...

(gentle menacing music)

- She said she told you to go outside and get her a switch.

Now, the first time she said it,

she was gonna give you 10 lashes.

And now she's gonna give you 50.

And if she has to tell you again,

she ain't gonna stop until you can't walk no more.

Leave them shoes.

(tense somber music) (Jodi groaning)

(branches snapping)

The louder you scream, the harder she going to hit you.

(footsteps thudding)

(gentle somber music) - Please.

- Give it to me.

(Jodi panting)

(tense menacing music) (Jodi whimpers)

(switch smacking) (Jodi screams)

(Jodi whimpers)

- So my boss keep asking me why y'all keep delivering pizzas

out here at the dump?

To which I've replied, (sniffs)

niggas is hungry.

So tell me...

How fucking hungry are you?

Same guys as last night

Yeah, I'll hold.

Imagine that.

Who would order a pizza

to be delivered to a fucking morgue, huh?

- I mean, earlier they sent me out to that gas station

off of Shore to deliver the pizza.

And when I got there, nobody was there.

- [Owner] Uh, uh, yeah, uh, listen,

I have a customer in my shop that needs medical attention

as soon as possible.

- Hey, was, was that the Walker Gas and Food Mart?

- Yeah, that one.

- What'd they look like?

- I mean, one was, like,

a big old cowboy Black nigga.

But the other one, he was a light-skinned brother.

Tall, sexy, wearing a cowboy hat and shit.

Looking all lumptious and shit. Mm, mm.

(tense menacing music)

(dramatic somber music)

(thunder rumbles)

- You found our money? - That I did.

- Well, where is it? - In the car.

- You thought it was more important

to bring in a pie instead of the damn money?

- This ain't pie.

(gentle ominous music) (door knocks)

Who the fuck is that?

- Your Mama wanted some pizza.

- How much we owe you?

- 22.50.

(cash rustling)

(gentle ominous music)

- There you go, Mama.

I bet you're wondering what's inside this box.

- I'm wondering why this damn pizza is cold already.

- Well, why don't we go ahead and, uh, warm it up?

You see...

That Wally's dumb ass in the ocean.

And I thought,

"What if it takes us too long to find our drugs?"

They gonna link his disappearance

to old Heather's body and then out.

So I figured I'd go over there

and dump Heather's dumb ass too.

So I drive by real quick.

Seems that there ain't no cops.

However, I notice a light

turn on and off as I passed.

And I thought, "Oh, hell.

Maybe the neighbor smelled something

and went in there to check it out.

I better get on in there before they call the cops."

Right when I'm about to open the door, pick the lock,

I remember I got old Wally's keys in my pocket.

(keys jangle) (gentle menacing music)

So I take his keys out my pocket, open the door.

(lock clicks) Take out my pistol.

(gun clicks)

It's real dark-like in there.

And I'm moving slow. Something like a ninja.

I recognize this smell.

What you think it smelled like?

A home cooked meal.

We both know death don't smell like no home cooked meal.

(bright energetic music)

♪ I guess you think you're hot stuff now ♪

- We did it, baby.

♪ You think you took his love from me ♪

♪ You're gonna find out ♪

- So I went on ahead and actually killed Heather.

- Is it your birthday? (gun shots blast)

- I realized Wally ain't that damn smart.

And the only people who know

about our little setup is Mama,

Barney, and me,

and you, nigga.

(hands clap)

But I was able to come to a conclusion

because of a smoking gun.

Not the one in my hand, mind you,

but the one in Heather's.

Two plane tickets to the Bahamas.

One for Heather Anderson

and another with the name Ernest...

(gun clicks) Walker.

- Listen, listen. C-c-calm down, son.

Just, we can talk about this.

- Talk about what?

How every nigga that ever got romantic with my mother

fucked her over, including you?

- I did all I could for you and your brother.

I raised you like you was my own.

- Lyin'. (door clanging)

Lying to us, calling yourself family,

giving us your last name.

- Put the gun down.

- No, Mama. (tense suspenseful music)
