I have a 34-year-old male here.

He's had Narcan, he's unconscious,

but we have a pulse.

Previously onBruh.

Let's look around the house.

Try to find out what he was using.

What about this?

Looks like crack rocks.

You gotta be kidding me, man.

What the hell you want?

I'm taking you to small claims court.

Girl, for this cheap-ass bracelet?

If it's that cheap, then give it to me.

Oh, you ain't getting shit.

Talk to me, tell me what's wrong.

Mike is dead.

- Stop that shit. - What?

Hey, is he okay?

Did they tell y'all anything?

What's going on, man? Y'all making me nervous, man.

Y'all quiet, y'all ain't saying nothing.

Listen, listen, we trust our colleagues, all right?

They're in there with him.

They're doing everything that they can.

What the hell does that mean, Tom?

Ain't nobody -- why are we going to college?

You talkin' college-a-leagues?

- Greg. - Colleague, it's my co-workers.

- Listen -- - Greg.

He's in good hands, okay? He's in good hands.

Oh, so he with All State now.

What's going on, man?

Listen, he's gonna be all right, man.

He talking about he in good hands.

- That sound like he with Jesus. - Stop.

That sound like he with Jesus. You say he's in good hands.

- He's not dead, John. - Don't say he with good hands.

Stop, please.

Ain't no better hands than Jesus!

Don't ever say that. Don't say he in better hands.

Say he's doing all right.

He's doing all right.

Yeah, yeah, well, here's the thing, all right?

Energy matters.

We gotta keep this energy right.

Man.

Let's just try to stay positive, okay?

Freaking out like that is not helping anybody.

- Yeah, but -- - Greg, don't tell me.

You do that.

You -- how about you stay positive?

You ain't -- you ain't been through the thick of it with him

like I have, so don't tell me to calm down.

Stay poised -- no, Doctor.

You don't understand.

Sorry, okay.

Why not stay positive?

Have you ever lost somebody, huh?

Have you ever lost somebody that's been using?

Have you?

John, listen, let's not talk about this.

What kind of drugs was he using?

Y'all know, y'all was reading it.

Y'all told me he was doing -- what kind of drugs?

Let me ask you-- let me ask you somethin'.

What does that help right now? Does that help anything?

It helps nothing right now. Let's not talk about it, huh?

I just want to know what's going--

You know why they avoiding that shit?

Because they have. They definitely lost somebody.

That's why they're not saying shit.

No, John, yeah, we have.

We have lost somebody that was using.

He had a lot in his system, okay?

Stop, stop it, Greg.

We don't know what he had in his system.

- Tom, we know. - We know, really?

I didn't see any blood work, you saw the blood work?

So he just had it in his apartment and he didn't do it?

It's all over his apartment.

Listen, would you stop with that?

We don't know what's going on.

We gotta wait and find out, how's that?

- Okay. - Yeah.

Yo, can y'all just do us a favor?

Can y'all just tell us the fucking truth, please?

I'm trying to.

The truth is, he's not doing okay, and it doesn't look good.

That's the truth.

But he's our age, though.

Listen, don't go there right now.

I'm telling them the truth.

They can't handle the truth right now.

They asked for it. That's what it is.

The truth is, he doesn't look good.

Don't tell me to be positive

if you're not -- now you're gonna tell me

he not doing good, but earlier it's be positive,

then you say he was in good hands.

You said he was with Jesus. Make up your mind!

You see how none of this fixes anything?

If you don't know, just say. Just be real, be honest.

You're not fixing it either, okay?

We can just calm down, it doesn't matter.

Like just calm down. There's nothing we can do from out here.

Let's just relax.

Greg, you tell me to calm down one more time,

I'm coming off on you, bro. I'm just gonna come off on you.

You're gonna be in there with Mike.

- Don't go say it again. - All right.

I swear to God, don't say it again.

All right.

Tommy, you cool.

You cool, you just chilling, bro.

That's your friend in there, man.

That's your brother in there.

John, what do you want me to do?

Show some emotion, show some damn emotion.

I, am John, trust me.

Hopefully they come back and say something.

But that's our boy, though. We should be in there.

- We should. - We should.

All the shit we done been through?

Man.

What are we gonna do without him?

Man, stop thinking like that. He ain't going nowhere, Bill.

He ain't going nowhere. He's still here.

You're right.

- You're right. - Stop talking like that.

Yeah, I know.

Damn, I need to call my mom.

- No, you don't. - Yes, I do.

She right here.

Hey, Ma, I was just about to call you.

I know.

Yeah, well, I know.

Miss Alice.

- Pervert? - Move over.

Tell her not to sit on me.

- Oh, I'm gonna sit on it. - I bet you would.

Yes, this is not the time.

This is not the time.

Well, none of us.

She don't need to be here.

Well, they on their way, because she knows Mike.

- Yes, she does. - She don't even like Mike.

She don't give a shit about Mike

and she don't give a shit about me.

- So this all about you now? - I'm gonna call her.

Ain't no need to call her, hon. She on her way.

Why are you here?

She told me that your friend died.

I am so sorry.

First of all, my friend didn't die, thank you.

He is in -- he's not dead, okay?

- No? - Yes.

So yes, so you don't have to stay.

You can leave, thank you.

- Oh, thank God. - Yeah, thank God.

But you don't want moral support?

No, I want you to leave, Littia.

You just keep popping up.

Okay, well, I'm gonna stay here for you.

I don't -- damn, nobody listens to me.

I'm listening, baby.

Okay, if you're listening, then listen to this.

Go home, please.

No, I'm gonna go sit over there with your mama.

How in the hell are you listening?

Okay, Littia.

Don't bring your ass over here and sit with me.

You called me.

Bitch, you have to say everything?

What?

I told you not to tell him.

I didn't, I'm talking to you.

Hell, he can hear you.

He's sitting right there next door.

I'm sorry, Miss Alice.

Crazy.

Where the hell is Tom and Greg?

- Come here. - I don't need that, Littia.

I'm okay, thank you.

This is how I got in trouble last time.

No thank you.

Damn.

He coded twice.

Shit.

All right, what do you think it was?

I'm sure it was Fentanyl.

Okay, okay, so what do you think they gave him?

Come on, man, you know they gave him everything.

They're trying, they're trying, okay?

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Shit.

Should we go tell John and Bill?

No, no no no.

We should tell them when we have something concrete to tell them.

Okay. Yeah, you're right.

Just trying to figure it out.

Damn, man.

I just -- I'm just trying to understand it.

I know, I know, trust me.

It's difficult.

I can't, man.

It's all right, man.

No, no no no, it's not all right.

It's not all right at all, bro.

Let it out, man. I get it.

Just breathe, let it out.

Look look look, I'm good.

- Tom. - I just --

I'm gonna go take a walk.

- Tom, Tom. - I need some space.

I know you're trying to be tough for the dudes, and I get that.

But it's just you and me here.

You can feel right now, it's okay.

No, I'm gonna go take a walk, all right?

Okay, just let it out, man.

- I'm good. - I'm here for you.

I'm your bruh.

You don't have to do that.

It's just me and you.

Stop it, dude!

Okay.

I need some space.

I'm gonna go take a freaking walk.

Yeah, yeah, all right, go, take your walk.

- Thank you. - I'll be right here.

Let me know if anything changes.

- I got you. - Right?

- I got you. - I'm not gonna be far.

Oh, my god.

- Hey. - Hey.

We heard.

Heard what? He's not dead.

- He's not? - No.

- What the hell? - Why would you think that?

Because I heard them say that he didn't have a pulse.

No, he lost his pulse in the ambulance, but --

yeah, no, he --

Mike and Tom back there with him now getting information.

I don't think they let him see him, because they his friends.

Okay, okay, okay.

All right.

- You want to have a seat? - Yeah.

Did you tell Bill?

Hmm?

Bill is here.

- Where? - I don't know.

He was somewhere walking around here.

All right, well, I'll go find him.

No, you shouldn't.

You should stay here with us.

Why?

Bill's in one of his moods.

He's always in one of his moods.

- It's fine. - Regina.

You stay here with Pamela.

I'm gonna go look for him.

Regina, I don't think that's a good idea.

Hey, John, I got this.

Nobody listen to John.

Everybody, "I got this."

Hey, what's up, any updates?

- No new information. - But he's alive, though, right?

Yeah, yeah yeah, no, he's alive.

He's alive, thank God.

Okay, cool.

You okay, Bill?

No, man, none of us are.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I don't even know what to say about all this, man.

I feel the exact same way, brother.

I feel the exact same damn way.

I mean...

We don't mean shit to him?

For him to pull some shit like that?

No, man, that's not true, that's not true.

- Really? - Yeah.

It has to be, the way he locked us out.

Come on, bro, you know this is Mike.

He's always done that. That's his thing.

Yeah, I know, man.

Right, ever since we met the dude.

Is he really that messed up about his mom?

I mean, I don't know, man.

These things, they stick with you, right?

He was a fucking kid, though.

Yeah, but they stick with you, man.

They don't ever leave.

I get that.

Yeah.

You think he tried to kill himself?

I don't know, Bill, okay?

No, don't do that shit.

I'm serious, bro.

You know more than you're letting on.

No, if I knew, I wish I could tell you.

I don't know, man.

Yeah, all right.

This is some bullshit.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

All right, listen, I should get back check on him.

Can I go with you?

Not right now, man.

They're not gonna let you in there.

Are you seeing him? How is he, what's up?

I'm actually outside the room right now.

Greg and I are outside.

Why?

Because we know him.

We're his boys.

Exactly, you're his boys, so why the hell you outside?

That's the point.

So somebody else is working on him.

We're getting the information.

Hold up, no, so you're going to let some random-ass strangers

operate on our boy?

They're not random-ass strangers, they're my

co-workers, dude, and they're doing the best they can, okay?

Trust me, please, bro.

He's gonna be okay.

Listen, I feel like you feel.

Just be patient.

It's all we can do, man.

All right?

Hey, I'll let you know if I hear anything at all.

- Don't be hiding shit. - I won't.

Good?

All right.

I'mma go to the soda machine.

Actually, I gotta get to the ATM.

- I'll be back. - Okay.

You want something?

- John. - Okay, you don't, all right.

Hey.

Here.

Thank you.

You all right?

I don't know.

I don't know how to answer that.

Well, he ain't dead.

Yeah.

That's a good start.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah, just have to wait and see, baby.

- Thank you, Miss Alice. - It's fine.

Yeah.

How long -- how long have you known Mike?

Since he came over to my house, eating up all my damn food,

when they were in college.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

He does that to me, too.

Yeah, I can see why you're so attracted to him.

He's a sexy lil' thing.

You think so?

Okay, don't try to act like he's not.

I mean, he comes with so much bullshit.

Well, we all do.

Yeah, but this is bad.

Maybe not this bad, but hell.

We all got our shit.

It depends on who you ask, if you want to know

how bad things are.

I hear you.

Yeah.

I'm telling you the truth.

Yeah, okay.

Baby, you just gotta hold on, and keep the faith.

You're right.

Can we pray?

Pray?

Yeah, together.

But me and God, we ain't on good terms.

What?

No, last time I talked to him, I wasn't in a good place.

So I don't even try.

Wait, no, what happened?

Well, just say my name doesn't come up

on the caller ID.

Okay, Miss Alice, I'm sure he'll answer your call.

- Oh Lord. - Let's pray.

Oh, okay.

Well, how about you pray, and I touch and agree?

- Okay, all right. - Okay, we'll do that.

Okay, all right.

Ooh, did the room just get hot?

- Listen, that's God. - Warning me?

- Right. - Help me, Lord?

Right -- okay.

- What that? - Come back.

- Okay. - This burns?

- Yeah, ooh, you the devil. - What?

Hey.

- Damn! - Really, Bill?

Look, I ain't got time for this bullshit right now.

Bullshit?

I've actually been all over the place looking for you.

Well, obviously I've been trying not to be found.

Yeah, okay. Cut it out, all right?

What is it?

I want to be here for you.

No, you don't.

Bill, listen, if I can put all the bullshit aside,

then you need to just let me be here.

Yeah, okay.

Look, I don't need you here, I'm good.

Bill, look, I know this is hard for you.

- Oh, you think so? - Yes, just --

No, don't -- don't touch me.

Don't touch you?

Yeah, just leave me alone, okay?

Okay.

Cool, now you can go ahead and go.

I know you don't like Mike's ass anyways.

Okay, that is not fair.

- Oh, that's not fair? - It's not.

You want to know what's not fair?

Actually, I do, Bill.

What's that?

This marriage.

- You're right about that. - Mm-hmm.

- You want out. - I guess.

- I want out. - Agreed.

So --

So there should be nothing wrong with this, right?

Right, right, except I gave up

a lot for you.

I ain't got time for this shit.

No, you don't have time for it?

But I actually think that we can make this work.

You do?

Yes.

- Okay, well, good, then. - Okay.

No, you up to some shit.

Bill, look, I'm tired, and look around.

Life is short.

Yeah, you're right.

So who wants to be unhappy?

Especially when you can take all my shit because of

a piece of paper, right?

I wasn't even gonna talk about that.

No, no, look, look at this.

You come in here with this shit right now?

My boy is in there fighting for his life, and you come --

you come in here with this shit right now?

The fuck is wrong with you?

I was actually coming here to give you some relief.

Oh, you want to give me some relief?

Then go.

You really want me to leave?

I don't know any other way I can say this shit.

Well, I'll be here for Pamela, then.

Cool, go ahead and go be there for Pam.

Yeah.

All right, bye.

Fuck, just leave me the fuck alone, man.
